  4. Putin has right to do what he has said. He didn’t start war, Russians has saved from Hitler, build Poland and this your appreciation to them. Money tolks s**t walk.

  5. Meanwhile in reality hundreds of people drowned and froze to death trying to escape Zelenskyy concentration camp. Zelenskyy is mining the border with US made Claymore anti-personnel mines to try to stem the flow of desperate people trying to avoid being sent to a slaughterhouse.

  10. A 😢😢😢😢😢😢 bad ＆ nasty 😢😢😢😢😢😢 retired director from General Dynamics, previously worked in San Diego, probably more than 85 yrs old now, is abusing US Gov's monitoring satellite to harass normal US civilians, inside USA & all over the world for his own entertainment & amusement.

    These remote sensors of the monitoring satellites are capable of interpreting the words you're thinking in your mind, may be, by air vibration or by scanning the brainwaves from your brain.

    The Israeli IDF are using similar satellite technologies to spy on the Hamas leadership hiding deep inside the Gaza Tunnels. IDF once released footage of these videos in much degraded resolution.

    This could also have been the way how our intelligence services obtained classified information on Xi Jinping's missile deployment within China.

    This retired General Dynamics director could have been the mastermind behind the plane crash killing the Secretary of Commerce Ronald Brown of the Clinton Administration, in the plane crash in 1996 in Croatia.

    The United States as we learned and studied in American high school does not exist anymore; it has been destroyed.

    United States have been dead. American citizens don't have human rights.

    This retired Director of General Dynamics is indeed a national disgrace of the United States.

    If this America disgrace wants to harrass any American civilian, he just puts the name of this American into our Gov. blacklist for monitoring, and he can harass this American civilian.

    United States must stop this disgrace retired director from General Dynamics.

    Our Congress should carry out an investigation into our Gov satellite misuse. I am willing to testify in Congress.

    I can give White House my name and let them check if I have been wrongly put onto the blacklist of terrorists for monitoring, just for some retired director from General Dynamics for his personal amusement and entertainment.

    I am requesting help here from White House. That's why I'm typing all these.

    White House can simply remove my name from the list of terrorists being monitored by the American intelligence services.

    I am the victim of abuse of American monitoring satellites.

    It's easy to check. White House may check if my name is on the terrorist monitoring list. I am willing to contact White House.

  13. What’s he saying is that America should do something, what are they going to do nothing. They are playing with fire Ukraine is not worth all this

  15. Putin's gang knows a fight with Nato mean big trouble and was not apart of the original plan to take Ukraine. In other words Putin is back peddling away from a fight with Nato.

  17. 1st Putin can’t afford to send arms to other country’s , his own troops don’t have what they need to win a war with a little place like Ukraine. Stay Ready.

  19. The U.S. & NATO have tried for the past couple years to set up the FALSE Narrative that President Putin is a threat to the West! But the majority of people around the World has seen through their LIES & PROPAGANDA and now sees the U.S. & NATO as the REAL Protagonist in this Ukraine Conflict!! The U.S. & NATO have continuously lied to the People of the World (Including their very own Countries) and the Majority of the World are now slowly turning against what the U.S. & NATO are doing by trying to push all of us towards a WW3!! Their Legacy of Corruption & Lies will be remembered in History Books!! As will be their Guilt in having started WW3 !!!

  22. Russia smart to arm all because we the one U.S let thing happen. So sad. It would be a beautiful world with all new tech but no, we warship power and war. Don't cry when your enemy arm with nuke. Worse land and no water, foods and supply.

  30. Sounds like fair play to me. The US have already declared that it’s a perfectly fine thing to do, so… 🤷‍♂️
