The fact that he asked the solider “ready to die?” Followed by “really? Why?” Made me lose respect for that reporter. What was the purpose of that question?
Asking a soldier in his own country, that is defending it “Ready to die?”, followed by “why?”, it’s just unbelievable!!! It would be more fitting asking your own American soldiers fighting in other countries.
Reporter guy: *"ready to fight?"* Soldier: _"Yeah"_ Reporter guy: *“ready to die?”* Soldier: _"y-yeah?"_ Reporter guy: *"really? W h y ? ”* Soldier: 👁️👄👁️
Russia - Take care of your impoverished regions and people, why do you climb up to your neighbors Ukraine, Belarus. Leave us alone! Long live Belarus! Glory to Ukraine!
Ukraine is close to becoming a NATO partner and NATO is attack 1 attack all.What about the IRAQ war ?!?! Did they ask then if they were ready to die?? It was a shame war bases on lies. The people of Ukraine need our help.I am from Canada and here if someone needs help you help them you don't turn a blind eye to it simple as that.Sanctions only go so far.
@@chrisbrezzy1004 I have seen the absolute worse in human beings.People getting chopped up alive ..torture I have seen almost every way possible of people killing each other.So humans can be cruel.We both know the US,Can,UK will go to war with anyone.From WW1,WW2,Vietnam,Iraq,Afghanistan among others.So it will not surprise me me if Putin attacks Ukraine the west will absolutely get involved.We both know that.If you don't want to go to war and risk dying then don't join the military.We know the risks.So YES they are willing to die for a foreign country.Regardless of the war and its whereabouts these men and woman signed up for that. Unfortunately that's the stark truth.
@@Spyderz-xo9rz yes, but personally, I don't see it as a good thing to take Russia and/or China to war simply for small nations like Taiwan or Ukraine. During the Vietnam War, we lost 1.2 million people and we still lost in the end. And in the Korean war, it ended with a ceasefire and the deaths of over 2.5 million people. One million people died in Iraq because of a meaningless war started by Bush, and many more. The only reason that the US and EU would intervene for the Ukraine and Taiwan is for their own interest, not to save the sovereignty of the two countries. As an American myself, it's not worth going to WW3 for two small countries. But I see where you're coming from.
I fear we're looking at the beginning of WW3. This is eerily similar to how Germany invaded Poland and how Japan invaded Manchuria. We're dammed if whether we do or don't do anything. I just hope it doesn't go nuclear.
@@gabrielarivas586 no thats not always the case because once the bolshiveks defeated the russian provisnal government russia started making SSR's forcefully. and one of those SSR's were Ukranine
"Since Biden's call with Putin, Russia's kept the pressure up." Wait a minute, you're saying Biden's threat of...economic sanctions...didn't make much of an impact to Putin?!?
That is the limitation to U.S. power. They are reluctant to get into direct military confrontations with major powers like Russia and China. Even smaller powers like Iran. What do they do? Roll out the almighty threat of economic sanctions. Which don't amount to much from a strategic standpoint.
The former buffoon we had in the Oval Office drew a redline when Iran attacked the US base in Iraq and didn’t do sh*t. It was an empty threat after he said Iran would be met with force they have never seen before. All U.S Presidents do this at some point in their time office but you wanted to make it sound like he was weak cause you get your information from Fox News. You should’ve been wondering why Iran didn’t get a response from Trump after attacking a U.S base and still to this day hundreds of soldiers suffering brain trauma from that attack. Stop being a hypocrite and a moron and just know that the U.S foreign policy almost always has been the same no matter what party controlled the White-House.
Economic sanctions has been a effective weapon in capitalist world but for rogue nations, where government is run by the leaders that care less for its own people, economic sanctions is just strong words with no actual impact.
I can see y'all are really goofy lol and you don't know how to look into things deeper. What Biden is trying to do is follow the chain of command but in the same breath if you were truly listening to what he said that if Russia chooses to make this move is definitely not going to be good for them and there are going to be consequences so tough for them to have to face you're not getting the big picture. Biden is not playing with them and no way shape or damn form they can play with him if they want to but believe me this if not going to turn out nice.

@@banger2998 the same Trump who threatened North Korea but is still developing their nuclear arsenal? Like Biden, Trump was all talk and no bite as well. So stop brown-nosing lol
@@banger2998 the survival of their regime all revolves on having and developing nuclear weapons. Do you really think they would stop entirely just because someone told them to? In case you’ve forgotten, they already have nukes so not many can push them around. So my argument still stands lol
@@banger2998 You're initial point was that Trump is not weak. By providing North Korea as an example proves that Trump was also all talk and no bite. You say there was nothing Trump can do, which is TRUE. NK has nukes. But you know who also has nukes? Russia. So don't act like Trump would be doing any better than Biden right now. So, again, stop brown-nosing him.
@@banger2998 I... don’t think that’s his point my guy. Putin and North Korea don’t actually have a whole lot to do with each other, he’s using it as a parallel to question Trump’s diplomatic effectiveness. (Which is true, the whole North Korean episode didn’t really accomplish a whole lot, aside from a DMZ photo op). I would also point out that Trump started his Presidency lifting the 2014 sanctions on Russia, and was all and all very cozy with Putin, so I don’t think he would have been much of a deterrent.
@@dval4275 US and Western propaganda never admit their lies, they just continue on with more lies. Today its Russia tomorrow it could be anyone. Drumpfler threatened to start a war with Venezuela for chrissakes. 😂😭 Just eternal wars until they start the big one and cause some kind of cataclysm.
As a Russian I find this a horrifically sad state of affairs, it's incredibly painful to watch my people dragged into a war by their corrupt leaders who don't truly care for their people nor have their best interests at heart. I wish this wasn't Russia, I wish we lived in a world where we had alliances with our Slavic brothers and worked together to produce a better future for all of us. But it isn't happening, like a train wreck in slow motion, my people are being manipulated into dooming their own souls.
Please don't say "economic sanctions" after warning. That's not a warning. That's a go ahead signal. You think Hilter was thinking about trading when he invade the Czech? Geez. At least, when you say nothing, Putin still has to guess.
@@IronWarrior86 Nah man it's not only Biden. It's all of our western governments. The same people are in power here in Germany and everywhere else. We lost the courage and the will to stand up for ourselves and our values. We have become scared pussies who do nothing but talking. "Deescalating the situation through talking", "Sanctions if necessary" "Showing solidarity with Ukraine". I'm so sick of hearing this bullshit. Our politicians will never understand how to handle people like Putin. They are more scared of losing their careers than anything else. And what will they do if Putin invades Ukraine? Nothing, like always. And Putin, he knows that.
The biggest mistake Ukraine made was allowing the de.v.il ev.i.l terr.orist US . Thank Russia Putin soon he will take Ukraine and kick out the de.vil e.vil US
Better than losing your country and homeland to a foreign power. Especially one that is trying to take over thru secret police, military and insurgents sneaking in causing dissent.
@@atgeminiy Lol ok man, just reunify with Russia if you think thats great. Last time that happened the jews were run out with pogroms, Stalin starved and executed your people, the Nazis came and killed whatever was left, then stalin came again and killed the next generation, and then finally the parting gift the USSR gave to you was Chernobyl, a nuclear accident caused by ineptitude that could've destroyed your entire country and continent and killed and wounded hundreds of thousands of your countrymen. They arent even communists anymore! Theyre a republic! Just like America.
The reporter should ask himself that question "Are you ready to die, and why?" since he's chosen to be at a war-torn border where he actually can be killed, despite being press.
Liberal reporters think they are above everyone else and wont be effected. Little do they know other countries hate them more then some of us at home do! ; )
Amerika says: We fight terrorism. We are freedom fighters. We are a democracy that practices the right to freedom of expression. We fight for justice for all. Russia says: Are you dreaming?? Hypocrite.! What have you done now and in other countries before? 🤣🤣
Title: "Russia threatens invasion of Ukraine"... 3:17 "No one really knows what Putin is planning..." When I read the title, I deduced that Putin had verbally stated today that Russia intended to invade, and watched the video. Nice clickbait.
So is aggressive posturing not considered a threat ? I don't know about you, but I think aiming a gun at someone and saying ''I won't/don't want to shoot you.'' doesn't really instill confidence in the person getting aimed at or the people watching.
@@agris8859 Russia is clearly dangerous, given history. Fear-mongering journalism is also a threat to peace. ABC is committing journalistic malfeasance by stating interpretation as a fact.
isn't the so-called European Union supposed to be all-powerful? Americans don't want to fight and die in another war halfway around the world. Let the so-called fabulous EU handle it.
Well … because it has been left to EU there a situation like this. US is way more organized and powerful when it comes to tough decisions. It is still a superpower.
No the EU is not a superpower thats why they host many US military bases since 1945 to ensure Russia thinks twice before attempting any invasion deep into European territory
How many times have we seen this same blown out factory? It seems like every news agency films at this same location. It’s more of a film set than the front lines.
I noticed that too. I think that Ukrainians are showing those places like a city guide shows his client a city tour. I don't think the war is real though.
Respect to the Ukrainian people and best of luck to them but after Afghanistan our government has proven they need to stay out Americans don’t want our troops there
Question is why don't their neighbors over there do something about it? It's none of our business in the states... not our fight. Besides... imagine if we had another Russia backed Cuba in our backyard. We didn't like that very much did we. Well neither do they with a NATO and USA backed Ukraine in their backyard.
Finally an American with a brain!!! The whole world doesn’t want or need America’s involvement, nor do we believe your government should be sending your people to die for countries that are well able to defend themselves
Couse usa i scared that russia will be super power in the world. And if the us doesnt help ukrain looses and russia would invade whole europe. And then russia would be richer and stronger then usa
@@edwardgarvin11850 well thats just how superpowers are, they get involved in everything going on in the world for an example the British and french empiees were involved with everything.

Yeah, putin is really scared of a dementia patient who couldn't even leave a country properly, let alone be commander in chief for an actual war. Leftists are total jokes.
God bless both sides I pray they resolve. Only the dead have truly seen the end of war. So many dead already let's all pray for these people. It's heart breaking
its a common trend that the only thing that unites America is war. Should Russia attack and hurt even 1 us soldier the people will literally force the president to enter the conflict
“Hey we broke our agreement and have been supporting an outside group for years now fighting Ukraine. Wait you’re supporting Ukraine now with weapons supply?! How dare you!” That’s all I’m gathering out of this 🙄
That's very funny considering what happens to militaries who are engaged in operations when a disease epidemic hits Colby will kill more Russians than the ukrainians
@JoJo Bidenbaum Yeah sure, so the brave Kyiv nazies have had 7 years to fight off "occupied" Crimea and send those 1000's of pine boxes to russia, yet all we saw was 10's of thousands of Kyiv backed nazi batallion deaths in fire-trap engagements in Donbass. There were less pine boxes sent to relativs in ukraine though, commanders just faked the losses not to pay compensations and let the brave ukranian occupants rot on Donbass soil, lol.
Sudden agreesive role of US & UK in the border of Russia near to achieve two target - 1. To stop the Nord stream ll. 2. To sell costly arms to Ukraine.
@William McKenna If coup was not happen with the help of western democracy & break democratically elected government. We will never seen such scenario. Near about 50% Russian speaking people lived in Ukraine for the past thousands years. Ukraine also Russian territory of thousands years. We remember the speech of lady Clinton " Ukraine should choose either US or Russia." After that coup happen. NATO's target was capture the Black sea with Crimea and target Russia to establish a puppet government like many European state to capture the huge raw materials & energy. Are you know US army is only in Syrian Oil field still now & theft Syrian oil regularly transporting via Irak.
Yup. He’s a coward. He’s scared of the Taliban, scared of China, now scared of Russia. If Biden runs in 2024 we going to have another republican president. Biden is awful and useless

Preparing and building up during the winter months for an offensive when spring arrives. Spring is the classic time for opening of large scale offensive military operation.
@@medicchester Generally speaking, August through Februari are for surprises, as it was historically as well. However due to a different set of circumstances and political considerations, this one is being announced well in advanced, so there will be zero surprises. The Russians probably have envisaged an operation whose objectives can be met within the Spring and Summer time frame before concluding the offensive by Autumn.
@@IronWarrior86 The U.S. are the ones mobilizing their arm forces to the Russian border and they're using Ukraine as their 1st wave along with the Balkan states. They have been building up and expanding their miliary presence there since Obama's term. Joe Biden is just another puppet following along with the military industrial complex and NATO. Central Europe are just U.S. lap dog, that's all it is.
This looks like a 2-pronged initiative that will involve the seizures of both Ukraine and Taiwan (as the reported mentioned). It’s a lot more costly and challenging for the U.S. to maintain two theaters of war but certainly well-within our abilities to mobilize and reinforce our war machine. Biggest concerns would be the utilization of weapons of mass destruction.
How many years have you been in the Middle East? How is Afghanistan doing for you? What have you accomplished there? Nothing? Yea, nothing. And you really think you're a match for China and my country? When you couldn't even defeat men in underdeveloped countries with Iron Age beliefs? You're ludicrous. We're not attacking Ukraine, you're not attacking us and that's that.

But Ukraine is not a member of NATO. Why should the U.S. have to defend the territory of Ukraine - which has historically been a part of Russia? I don't get it.
@@CoryRyanCastle yes but Ukraine has been trying to join and will more then likely join and nato should take on the responsibility of theats that could lead to bigger wars and letting Russia take over Ukraine could be extremely dangerous for many reasons

On July 23, 2014, 17-year-old Stepan Chubenko was killed in the Donetsk region for refusing to remove a blue-and-yellow ribbon from his backpack. He was taken to the basement, his hands were tied with scotch tape, his teeth were knocked out, he was shot in the head 5 times. This was done because he had pro-Ukrainian views and helped the Ukrainian military during the war (bringing them water, food, medicine, etc.). When Ukrainians were hiding in basements during the shelling, Stepan ran out of the basement and managed to remove the DNR flag from the city square (let me remind you, the DNR is a fictional self-proclaimed republic by the Russians). Killers: pro-Russian military Yuri Moskalyov, Vadim Pogodin, Maxim Sukhomlinov. Two of them are currently hiding in Russia, the third - in the occupied Crimea. Russia imprisoned Moskalyov for 16 months and then released him. Pogodin spent 40 days in a Moscow pre-trial detention center, after which he was released. Stepan Chubenko was awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine for life. That's all you need to know about the "Russian world". Putin calls us a fraternal people, and the Russians still claim that we have a civil war, and Russia has not attacked anyone
@@UrbanKiwiana it's not just about the leaders. I hate Putin as much as I hate all russians. Because of their unwillingness to change anything, we have a war. They are patient.
@Edward Squirrell Try customer support, then once you have at least two years of experience the offers will roll. But... eh, I'm sadly not paid for commenting, that's just my Ukrainian soul crying out of horror that russians are better at the whole media war, so I'm trying to explain the basics to clueless or ignorant westerners. Not to mention that once the tensions heightened I can't sleep well. Due to the courtesy of at least the half of my family being ethnic russians and having lots of connections there, being a native russian speaker and having great friends in Russia, I know full well what their government is doing. Knowing 4 languages is quite handy, I can compare the news all over the world to uncover at least the closest thing to real "truth". I can see that we, Ukrainians, want to live good and be a great and modern country, something that we and others could admire and respect, Russia can't allow this cause it'll prove that their way is wrong.

Those who populated Southern Europe built stone homes, those who populated Northern Europe built wood homes. East and West, only differ by the fallacies they built up themselves, like the xmas tree that replaced the evergreen bow on the winter solstice to remind the Northerners that spring and life are coming, which was likely set up as a way of pruning pine nut trees during dormancy in one tiny little hamlet somewhere, probably one tree every year by the town's leader, as a promise of more food stores, easier to collect next fall.
@akio suha Just like the rest of them, you are a new addition to the family of Neo-cons. Russia by the way is fending for its Christianity, its anti-LGBTQ culture, and going against the disgusting globalist agenda of the west. Open your eyes up.
