  1. Why do you care so much for Ukraine it had its chance in ,2022 to secure peace and refused it look after your own countries and stop helping America gave uo its puppet and expects europeans to do it Why Europeans should o ey to America's orders why should we care this has always been Anerica against Russia let us not turn zrussia shainst us ee have too much to lose firget zukraine fir heaven,'s sake ! !

  2. NATO has relied too much on the US for weaponry (NOT talking about refugee assistance) especially when this is a war happening in Europe. This war should have been over 14 months ago. Time for NATO and especially the US to stop fucking around with this. After Ukraine, there would be a "peaceful military operation" to annex Kaliningrad.

  3. Russia isn't up for jokes,the fact that Russia is considerate of the Ukrainian citizens it doesn't make them weak the more they provoke Russia the more Russia will go blitzkrieg and I don't think the Ukrainian people want that for the sake of America's interests

  4. Another Clown show by Czech Denmark, Netherlands, Mark Rutte ! These countries are nothing -in this equation or world stage.

    How is the proxy war on Russia paying off- when do the NATO and EU clown see Russian on its Knees?

  5. There are 240 Patriot systems in the world. Ukraine would need 27 to be protected. If all nations give one patriot system it should be possible.

  6. Germany has no place to speak until it starts to abide by it's obligations. It's the wealthiest nation in Europe (or one of) and it can't afford 2% of it's GDP? The US Spends about 3.6%!

    I agree European nations need to do more, so put your money where your mouth is sauerkraut!

    Edit: On a related note how delicious is sauerkraut and kimchi?

  7. The Zelenskyi regime must answer in an international court for the feudal imposition of an unratified constitution on the people of Ukraine, which is a violation of the rights and freedoms of Ukrainians to express their will.
    The territorial integrity of Ukraine is bursting at the seams, because the territories did not have the right to vote, did not have and do not have the right to choose. The desire of the Kyiv regimes to retain the territory of the Ukrainian SSR is very ambitious, but they ignored the freedom of the people in these territories.

  8. Send it to Philippines.The US is shifting Ukraine to Philippines now.. Ukraine is no more in Ukraine. It's in Philippines now 😂

  9. So, is it that European countries don't trust Ukraine with advanced weapons? Or is it that after 2 years of war on the continent Europe hasn't ramped up?

  10. Ukraine has been warning and begging for many months, for these air defenses. Only now these blind and cowardly european leaders decide to act? Olny after russian air bombings have razed much of ukranian infrastructure?

  11. History repeat …
    ——————-
    Sad for Youkrain people.

    Just like in Vietnam , Afghanistan, …..

    The U$ again doesn’t flush the toilet after using the bathroom.

    Sadly EU left to clean up.

  12. Its over. America has left europe in one hell of a mess. Ukraine is now the unwanted child. Promised soo much then abandoned

  13. Europe can’t rely on US, it’s government has been infected by ruzzian assets and influencers. Europe is strong and can stand together without US if required, it just needs the resolve to follow through to stop ruzzian aggression and tyranny

  14. Wait what
    Ukraine didn’t have air defense capability before

    I thought they should down all Russians missile

    Now Russia using shovels

  15. This means the previous one that was provided has been destroyed. Let them keep on giving Ukraine as they weaken themselves.

  16. send what you want iron dome is the best see 300 empty missels testd on isreal by iran how much where hit on ground soil you think like 14 thats thats dangerous russia missles are loaded those on isreal where empthy thats the diffrent world is not uk europe an america mate thats kwarter of it a polish Zelensky Milikovsky sky skying the world for money and weapons

  17. "a newly produced PATRIOT battery costs about $1.1 billion, including about $400 million for the system and about $690 million for the missiles." Zelensky asked for 24 of them like they $500 each.

  18. Hey France do you have air defense in stock ? Euh ya maybe 2 but we have no diesel and you germany.. well only 1 with flat tires and the launcher is rusty
    NATO: Ukraine is winning the war right now .
