1. How about discrimination against Ukrainian speakers in Russia? Try speaking Ukrainian in Moscow and see how quickly you get arrested. Both speakers here seem to be blind to official borders. The antecedent is Russian mafia and FSB agents infiltrating Ukraine. And Putin being a dictator who is afraid of being overthrown like Yanukovich.

2. So by avoiding war with Russia, do we just let Russia creep out of its borders? What’s next? Finland? Poland? Lithuania? Russia will find Nazis and Russian discrimination there too.

3. So by design just surrender to Russia and there will be peace. Yeah. FSB talking points.

4. It’s hilarious that people concerned with American imperialism walk right into the hands of Russian imperialism

5. I was against USSR when young, but now USA is USSR !

6. YOU dolts !!!!!!!!! ALL OF UKRAINE SPEAKS RUSSIAN YOU IGNORANT dolts, IT WAS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE. DOLT. Ukraine was an independent nation for 1000 years before Russia existed Ukraine is culturally district and hates russia, Crimea is actually or was a quasi independent state under Ukraine and is IN FACT Tatarstan. The tatars were another group whom genocide was committed and they were ethnically cleansed and murdered, put into gulags or to the Urals and land given to ethnic russians. RUSSIA gave that land to Ukraine , ukraine recognised that it belonged to the Tatar muslims. Russia planted RUSSIANS into UKRAINE after they killed 10 million and just gave them their land in the 30's . any problems in Donbas and Luhansk came from russia stoking a few objectors and sending wagner troops in to fight with the "separatists" along with civilian regular russian army troops and this is freely admitted. NO one cares about russian speaking as all speak russian ans Ukranian was basically banned along with the culture. I live here now and russian is all over,, what apack of utter lies. Many cant speak ukranian if they are old. NOW, after the REVOLUTION, which started in 1917, they OBVIOUSLY want to get rid of russian corruption and russian mafia and russian lack of democracy and embrace the west. RUSSIA uses the "persecution" of russian speakers to invade all over, and its just a ploy to invade. Ukraine is an utterly seperate culture , nothing to do with russia, russian culture came from UKRAINE. Moscow was a swamp when Kyiv was an international city. People in russia look down on ukranians as second rate and inferior low life. Ukraine was bursting with economic activity and only looking to the west. they want as far away from russia as they can get. Ukraine is a totally independent country and can choose to do and join whatever and whoever it wishes. Go tell the US who it can make agreements and treaties with !!! We do as we please. I have never heard such a litany of lies untruths, falsifications, miss statements make believe poppy cock rubbish sprouted in my life. Its all utter make believe, or worse. Ukraine will fight and win or be exterminated , its that simple. its a fight to the death. You are utterly ignorant nothings, willfuly ignorant, misleading liars.

7. Very bad korespondent. Agent kreml

8. i think her comparison of Ukraine n Alaska is incomplete. how would we feel if Canada annexed Alaska? it doesnt really fit

   Ukraine has been independent for over 30 years, thats 2 generations removed

9. THERE ARE MORE FIGHTING AGE CHINESE MEN IN THE USA THAN THERE ARE USA SOLDIERS

10. CHINA HAS A FULLY EQUIPPED MILITARY BASE IN CANADA WITH TANKS AND THERE ARE 2 MORE AT OUR SOUTH WAKE UP LADY

11. My father was with the Army Security Agency during the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, and presumably lost some of their men on that day which was reputedly directed by that treasonous WELL-NAMED Lyndon Brainle⚡⚡ JOHNSON, the deniable globalist Jesuit George(BUSH-IAN)town Texas oil Mafia TOOL! My mother only mentioned two things that my almost pathologically stoic father ever wept over: One was when remembering his own father's untimely death when he was a teenager, and the other was when Johnson-Bush's Jesuit masters allegedly murdered President Kennedy for being a loyal American and a true Catholic, but not a Jesuit tool like Johnson, Bush, Carter, Clinton, Obama, Biden , Wilson and so many others have been, to the dearest cost to Americans and our Constitution and Bill of Rights! My father cautioned me when I used to be an enthusiastic Zionist against trusting the Israelis based on their murderous attack on the Liberty, or against hating Russia, due in part, to their saving the Liberty and her surviving crew members by firing on the cowardly Israeli pilots and driving them off, presumably as an extraordinarily inexplicable instance of "professional courtesy", as according to their Orthodox Christian-instilled national character (even when officially Atheist-ruled), of the Golden Rule … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSdR8BQ8gzk

12. What are they trying to distract us from? Look up: "Benjamin Netanyahu"s Fink's bar speech against America" … Bet he regrets it now!
    
    I'll bet a lot of Israelis now wish they'd have supported America better rather than contributing to our downfall and choosing globalism and the WEF over America, and selling our secrets to China, dancing for joy on 9/11, sending their "art students" to rig the twin towers, etc. Not much sympathy for them right now! Maybe their friends in China will help them, since they sold Red China our military secrets!

13. The financial funding of the military says so much about a relentless obsession with promoting white supremacy and expanding the influence of such interests. An obomination of human behaviour and as other comments here there's a disparity in funding health care. The purpose of the West is not to promote democracy but quite the opposite militarization negates democracy since when did bombing induce democracy? Enforcement of Capitalist doctrines has lead to the clear abuse of human rights across the world and divides countries into 1st class and second class people who have no influence over their futures. Keeping the poorest disempowered and using a massive state media to facilitate policies that only benefit the West. Russia are the only broker in this scenario and given fair portrayal could represent a radical shift to acknowledge the third world who deserves a place in history as more than just slaves but potentially people who harness a capacity to create equality and redress the cultural imbalance that haunts man's history. Christ cannot abide any superiority and can be no saviour to those who promote the West. The conflict in Ukraine is a symbol of an internal conflict which the only victory should the collapse of Western power and the success of deenslavement and liberation of ethical politics. A good leader leads by example and Putin potentially could be a great leader for he represents the worlds poor and the resumae for the sacrifice made by the Soviet.

14. Nobody I have seen in the press has noticed or made any link between the rise of anti Russian sentiment in the US media and politics that began, around 2014, escalating shortly after Russia announced a ban on the GMO crop and seeds and poison pesticide control products, along with encouraging organic farming methods.

15. Russia isn't that much older than the USA But Ukraine?!! Ukraine, Is 1600 or more years old. Be Straight with the History.882 KIEVAN RUS, Ukraine proclaims itself as more than just some Viking over run villages. Slavs, Norse and Finnic made up Ukraine. Rus & Belarus claim Heritage from after.

16. Do we really need to know about Ukrainian History? Just look at worlds history of 1962 – Cuban Missile Crisis. What differs Putins reaction against NATO enlargement to Kennedys reaction against Russian missles on Cuba?
    The only difference I can see is, Krustchov had more peace in mind than Biden

17. Pure insanity. Any economist knows the simple formula "guns or butter". I agree wholeheartedly with the discussion on the Ukraine war, however, I do not agree with the reference to the climate crisis being the correct existential threat.. That discussion is one of guns and butter as well.

18. Not just that also getting elected Schultz and Beabock into government.

19. Medea, I think you put all the blame on the Nazis of Ukraine and Zelenskyy but it is our nazi muppets in Washington allied with the Ukranian Nazis and thugs to pressure Zelenskyy. America is shedding its mask and revealing its try nazi nature. The sooner we face it and destroy it the better we will be! And we need Russias help! Free America!!

20. Russia needs to march to the river and occupy all of eastern Ukraine for 100 years!! The UN needs to occupy western nazi Ukraine and Denazify it for 100 years. Build that wall!!! Good walls make good neighbors!! Help Russia! Sanction America! Free America! Rise and destroy the oligarchy!! The parasitic elite!
