  1. The US really needs to wake up. This is the third European conflict they have hesitated to get properly engaged in, and look where that got us in the past.

  2. There's nothing like "some weapons" or "some targets" when you are losing ground. Ukraine will go all in. The response from Russia might also be devastating. This war should end, many innocent people are dying while the elite rich leaders make more money from the arms trade.

  3. Russia has been in an incredibly privileged position of striking Ukraine without fearing being hit back due to fears of Putin's blackmail.

  4. (2:20) There is no outcome in which Ukraine won this conflict by military means.
    Even if they had all weapons in the world, it would be physically impossible to reach Moscow, let alone capture it.

  5. Biden needs to find his backbone and unlearn to be such a damn weak kneed politician. I know I won't be voting for him next time and sit-out this Fall.I'm beginning to believe he's even afraid of his own shadow and uses Putin's nuke thread for his wishy washy actions. Bullies only understand strong resolute actions. He's old enough to remember Munich in the 30's.

  6. You all are funny. After Ukraine hit belgorod Russia retaliated by tuning cutting off electricity in the whole city. When the refinery was attacked Russia opened the dam. Destroyed electricity in half of Kiev are you blind to see that Ukraine will be the one to suffer at the end.
