Please no war. We had enough troubles with covid for past few years. Let us pray for peace! Mutual cooperation and respect should resolve all problems.

There's a reason why when so many think of Russia, they think of a big angry bear. It's because of their president.

All I can say is "Money is root of all evil" all they want are money and power. The innocent people are the people who have to suffer and die in these wars 😔

OK I fully believe in democracy over authoritarianism, but as a critical thinker, it’s looking very much like NATO did something… I vaguely remember a similar situation years ago where it sounded like Russia was being the aggressor, come to find out later that NATO had stuck some brand new missiles in that region… The official statement was that those missiles were to deal with either Iraq or Iran or something, but they were right on Russia’s doorstep… I don’t know… Gonna have to be on the fence about this one till the truth eventually comes out

PT Barnum said there is a sucker born every minute. If you get your news from these guys, then he described you perfectly.

why not ask the question "why does the US want Ukraine"? then you may get some perspective.

The title of this video is a great example of a loaded question. It's almost as good as "Why is America the greatest country in the world?" Does anyone else remember that propaganda BS from middle school?

Dude just imagine Russian puts its army in Mexico. What would US do. Just imagine.

I think we should stay out I am sick of our soldiers dying to fight someone else's war. We've lost too many people there could have been something just to further the goals of a politician or another nation

This is exactly how Adolf Hitler started. Little by little.

Just a question… what would happen to Mexico if the president there decided to sign deals with China and Russia? Just a question if you don’t have the answer write your opinion elsewhere. Thanks

Imagine TEXAS state declare independence for some reason, than few years later invited china to military bases in Texas, how would the USA feels about it? That's exactly what's it's happening with Russia n Ukraine, they used to be one nation then Ukraine broke n now wants the NATO to come to the Russian border, I hope that explains it. Let's hope for no war 🙏🙏🙏

Why do I feel I'm being lied to?

Note the question 'Why now?' was totally evaded. We know why now. For the same reason why in 2014.

The us should not get involved bc puto has way more power than we know.

Brilliant propaganda piece once again deflecting blame to Russia when things aren't going well domestically. It's right out of the 1980s movie plot playbook.

Why is there no non-biased coverage of the Canadian freedom mass protest?

History will not remember him well if he invades.

What nation would want to be a part of Russia?

Please, Humans want PEACE in the World! May your God bless all of you, and I wish all best to you! 🙇‍♂️🙅‍♂️

The reason is simply that the US won’t put their ego for superpower aside

Guys don't trust anybody so easily, you must know more to know what is happening. It's not as simple as receiving news, it's possible for them to lie

Will Ukraine be the 33rd country since WWII that America has bombed in the 'Name of Peace'? Afghanistan, Bosnia, Cambodia, China, Congo, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Korea, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Libya, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Palestine, Panama, Peru, Serbia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, (Ukraine?), Vietnam, Yemen, Yugoslavia

My only concern is I don’t fell like Biden can handle this

"... and with Russia, a huge provider of oil to the world, gas prices are likely to go higher." Oh, so Trump was right on that too! Energy independence went out the door with Biden!

I wonder if these media outlets ever read the comments section and start putting together that people aren't buying their garbage anymore?

USA and NATO, This has to stop. We had enough. Don't expand it to the east. What more do you guys want? We suffered enough. Please, no more wars this time.

What is going on?

Get rid of NATO problem solved!

Putin is right . In April 2016 nato moved troops to the border of Latvia, Estonia and Poland. And he laughs as if this wasn’t true

If the USA was surrounded by Russia, we’d do the same thing. Kinda dumb to poke the Russian Bear.

Where is the evidence that they want to do this?

Lol of course it's about nato expansion 🤣. I don't even care, I'm team America but it's 100% about nato being on Russian borders.

He's fallen in the polls in Russia, he needs to do something to rise in the polls!

Answered the greed part, the part that he feels "threatened" was a weak argument

when Ukraine is a country in itself with it's own government, how the heck another country (doesn't matter if it was part of USSR decades ago) can control the other country? how on earth other countries can't object effectively? this is ridiculous that nobody is taking strong action.. how can someone else take ownership of my family when my family is not related..

At least biden is good at pushing around truck drivers

Putin: ok I pull up

Can somebody tell us where we can actually find some real truth and news other than the BS and lies and deceit we see on TV?

All I know is that Ukraine has a LOT of agricultural things that is 2nd to the World, its a country of treasures 😂

Higher gas prices huh I guess it's time to dust off my old bike in my shed

My question is why worry bout other land and only worry bout our own land

I question the news we the people get from these "news media"... seriously need to call up my friends in other countries for their versions.

The time has come citizens the question is are you prepared for what we might have to do?

I just hope Russian soldiers know they do have a choice.

1:38 Well. The biggest conflict in Europe since ww2 is still a Yugoslav Wars on Balkans in 2001. where we got a full scale Nato invasion

How does this guy know what Putin thinks? Wow a mind reader.

Invadling Ukraine is like that WMD reason in Iraq.

World peace is something we only dream about. It is something that could actually exist, but only in a different world or maybe one thousand years from now.

Would have been easier for Vlad if his orange pawn was still on the chess board.

Why war? Becoz Only 15 Years of Peace In The History of America 😑

This is stupid. Humans have more pressing problems. I suggest all the soldiers om both sides surrender.

Why is that today?

Im straight

Suddenly we get our oil from Russia, And as a result gas prices go up?

Where is this going? 🤔

oh our world leaders, how foolish.

Yeah well this is why Madara wanted to use Mugen Tsukoyomi

! I cant watch this video without ads !

What about article 5?

But why? This video just says he is bad. Even bad guys have a reason. Is it access to water?

Because the storm is coming. 100+ mph winds.

Never ever listen to an official story or explaination of any war.

There wouldn’t be any wars if the people who started them had to actually be in the wars physically 💯💯💯💯

It's about water.

If gas gets higher someone’s getting the boot

The War Machine Keeps On Turning.

The map says it all.

This is like a child throwing a tantrum except it's in a larger scale.

Micheals just laughed passed the question on 1990 promise. It just says US are culprits here.

Religion, Ideology, Resources, Land, Spite, Love Or Just Because. No Matter How Pathetic The Reason, It's Enough To Start A War.

Well said

This is about the pipeline plain and simple. American oil companies. Wake up!

Putin isn't scared of our woke and diverse military agenda lol

It's about the untapped resources. Follow the money

Russia is so big why they want more space? Smh 🤦‍♂️

Yeah that's it. America in an innocent bystander. Really folks?

Probably the worst station to see both sides from

Too many ads . Thumbs down

Don’t they have ENOUGH LAND??

The center of all this.

While saying "That's ridiculous, nobody's provoking Putin" and it's not about "NATO expansion" but why? Why is this not NATO expansion? Why simply ignore this and not explain on this one though? Even I can tell how much NATO can benefit from having Ukraine joining them.

ww2 song Do Russians want War? this song is unbelieveble accurate

I told my VA counselor Kaitlyn McGrew that I needed a copy of my mailbox key that worked because I had meds that were being shipped to me on the 7th of February and still nothing. I had to call back the VA Hospital at 1700 Wheeling to tell them that my meds might be shipped back because I still don't have a working mailbox key. Today is February 18, 2022.

Who ready for war !!!!!

this is gonna be pain i have american friend form usa and isnt usa apart a team up ukraine..

NBC News: what should we make the title of this video be? NBC News: Let's make it be a question that is not answered in any way by the video. NBC News: That's brilliant.

Alexa play the beatles back in the ussr

Because Biden is in the office .

Remember Cuba crisis? It's the same with Ukraine now.

Blessings are on the head of the righteous, But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

imagine trying to find out the news about EU from NBC LOL

Ukraine today holds the second biggest known gas reserves in Europe. Now you really know why both sides have great interest.

We have always down played Putin because of the memes.... People tend forget how scary and brutal he is Edit : people have also forgotten how he used the spetnaz to quite internal dissent

Russia - Ukraine Conflict Relations between Russia and Ukraine have been hostile since the Revolution of Dignity in the year 2014. The Revolution of Dignity refers to a series of violent events involving protesters, riot police, and unknown shooters in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, which culminated in the ousting of the country’s elected President Viktor Yanukovych and the overthrow of the Ukrainian government. The protests developed because the Ukrainian President refused to sign a political association to the European Union (EU) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), however, many Ukrainian stakeholders wanted their country to join with NATO. The subsequent Ukraine's post-revolutionary government sought to commit the country to the EU and NATO, rather than continue to play a neutral and diplomatic role with Russia, the EU, and NATO members. Given these concerns, in February and March 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine. It forcefully annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine. Russia formally incorporated Crimea as two Russian federal subjects, the first being the Republic of Crimea, the second being the federal city of Sevastopol. This was done on 18 March 2014. This move prompted the other members of the then G8 to suspend Russia from the group. The other members of the G8 also agreed to the introduction of a first round of sanctions against Russia. However, these sanctions were not effective as Russia is a large influential country and it continues to trade with several countries, including the G8 countries. Earlier in 2004, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Slovakia had joined the EU. Later in 2007, Bulgaria and Romania also joined the EU. Subsequently, the Russian government fears that Ukraine's membership to the EU and NATO would complete a western wall of allied countries in Europe. Also, it could restrict Russia's access to the Black Sea. Furthermore, South Korea and Japan are presently allied to the United States (US). Therefore, the Russian government was concerned of the potential for the country to become ring-fenced by hostile powers. In 2019, amendments were made to the Constitution of Ukraine, which the post-revolutionary government took step to push Ukraine closer towards EU and NATO membership. Throughout 2021 and the beginning of 2022, tensions between Ukraine and Russia were building up as Russia was mounting a military presence at Ukraine’s border. During this period, the US has condemned Russia’s actions through diplomatic press releases, but took no military action against Russia. On 24 February 2022, Russia launched an invasion on Ukraine.

Just like the old saying. "If we don't learn from history we are doomed to repeat it." - Winston Churchill

I mean… if China or Russia had bases in Canada how would we feel? 💀 😂

Imagine the horrific times of ww2 , imagine a new war with all this technology , why can we just be all United as all, 💔 🌍 😞
