  1. The most incredible piece of propaganda I have seen in years. It begins with the statement that the invasion of Ukraine was unprovoked.Sorry, but the neo cons in the US and the military industrial complex pushed and pushed and pushed to get Ukraine to request NATO in its country. Russia will not allow US bases on the 1200 mile border with Ukraine where cruise missiles can hit the Kremlin in just a few minutes. Totally an existential crisis. Totally created by US hegemonic aggressive neo-con ambitions. This broadcast is a complete Orwellian propaganda display.

  2. Unfortunately predictable when both sides are not exactly being careful with their use of land mines. The russians are particularly using them in a nasty way but i would also Unfortunately suggest the ukriane has been rather cavalier in how it has deployed them.

    I believe that vietnam and Cambodia and laos are still the most mined countries in the world

  3. American can help Ukraine by sending f16, partio v.v… but they do not want to do, they want Ukraine almost loss to Russian and force Ukraine to talk peace with Russian by give Ukraine land to Russian, do not trust American government I lean it from Vietnamese war.

  4. A total b/s statement "A humanitarian group says clearing them will take "generations." There is technology (neutron activation analysis) that can scan an entire hectare of land in 30 minutes and ID all mines and explosives for removal, yet it is not used.I wonder why? Money and vested interests of course…..

  5. NATO nations can only prevent an inevitable loss to Russian forces in Ukraine by deploying the Alliance’s troops to the former Soviet republic, a former adviser to the US military claims.

    ‘The arithmetic is inescapable: NATO countries will soon have to send soldiers to Ukraine – or else accept catastrophic humiliating defeat again,’ military strategist Edward Luttwak wrote in British online media outlet UnHerd. 

    Mission Creep and we know how mission creep in Vietnam and Afghanistan ended:

  6. It's disgusting that the Russian military is planting and leaving these things behind knowing full well it'll be the innocent civilians who will bear the brunt of them. For so many years to come. Incredibly saddening.

  7. During the Vietnam War, on the border with Laos and Cambodia, the US armed forces had around 270 million landmines, 80% of which are still there. But about this war crime
    one remains silent, because American anti-personnel mines were planted there by "good guys". But if you find alleged “Russian” mines, that is a crime. Only the Ukrainian mines cannot be distinguished from the Russian ones. The Ukrainian mines almost exclusively date back to the times of the USSR. From 2014 to the present, the Ukrainian army has mined large areas of Ukraine, especially the borders in Donbass. German Foreign Minister Baerbock once spoke of over 40% of Ukraine being mined and another time she spoke of 200,000 square kilometers being contaminated with mines. The "Spiegel" published a map of the minefields, the line went approximately from Kiev towards Sumi, further to Kharkov, towards Dnepropetrovsk, Kherson, Zaporozhye, further to Odessa. In other words, huge areas into which Russian troops have not penetrated or not yet.

  8. Gen. Mark Milley say ukriane lost two hundred thousand soldiers 200000

    russia have taken about 40%of ukraine
    publish data on Ukrainian losses during the current conflict on January 14, 2023:
    – 1,157,000 dead
    – 234,000 injured
    – 27,230 in captivity,
    – 934 dead NATO instructors (USA and Great Britain),
    – 32,458 dead NATO servicemen (Germany, Poland, Lithuania, etc.)
    – 15,360 dead mercenaries.

    A message to the future generations never make russia feel threatened
    the difference between "looking dangerous" and "being dangerous".Russia
    describes military doctrine as defensive military doctrine. With regard
    to nuclear weapons specifically, Russia reserves the right to use
    nuclear weapons: in response to the use of nuclear and other types of
    weapons of mass destruction against it or its allies,in case of
    aggression against Russia with the use of conventional weapons when the
    very existence of the state is threatened
    How do Russian nuclear weapons compare to the rest of the world?
    Russia – 6,257
    America 5,550
    UK – 225
    France – 290
    China – 350
    Israel – 90
    Pakistan – 165
    India – 156
    North Korea – 40

  9. If Ukraine would have kept the Minsk agreement this wouldn’t have happen. Have their president go find each one them. He created this problem. Lead to success not to war. Comedy man is a fool. Always has been since his birth. : I am a US tax payer. I can complain if I want too.

  10. Where is the logic in your show? What is America doing to fight against Russians. I know every single world in your interview but that it. Talk and talk, talk and talk.

  11. Evil is defeated, so it started carrying out terrorist attacks. Lies are the main weapon of Evil, so there will be more and more lies from Western media and pro-Western bloggers
