What an idiot, Romania is in Nato since 2004.Nato was there for 20 years
Don't let America control the world, look at the state of the UK, America has destroyed it
This guy is the least impressive speaker TR has had on for a while months subject. He sounded as though he was speaking to a classroom full of 13 year olds.
Its one way to bring Romania into the war I suppose. Well done, TR .
Putin i expect privately regrets ordering the invasion of Ukraine he has made NATO stronger
Given a conventional war between the west and Russia, then Russia would lose because of the numbers and advancement in weapon.
The only thing preventing this is of course Russia’s nuclear weapons.
So how will the war in Ukraine end with the west supplying weapons to Ukraine and reinforcing American bases in countries around Russia?
It will be down to Putin, who could end it tomorrow by pulling back from Ukraine.
Putin has sacrificed hundreds of thousands of Russians in this war so far and obviously will continue the war. He has threatened ti use the nuclear weapon if escalation continues.
Only a threat?
Every war in history has used the most powerful weapons available, so why would this war in Ukraine or any other war be any different?
Yuh know, yuh know, yuh know, yuh know.
A logical step, Russia is not going to stop unless it is stopped. Romania welcomes the USA with open arms, not only for security, we actually like americans a lot.
Putin is a idiot, this is EU . HE MUST KEEP HIS MOUTH !!!!!
Denmark has been training Ukrainian pilots for more than a year on F16s at Airbase Skrydstrup, we don't just put them in the planes and say "now fly them", they're being given proper training/conversion to the F16 – I read a report with an exclamation from an Ukrainian pilot who said that these are a very new and advanced way of flying, and that he loved it. 🙂
NATO isn't aggressively expanding east. Eastern Europe just escaped west.
NATO would not have expanded if Russia did not invade. There would be no airbase if Russia did not invade. There would be no extra radar stations on Russias border if Russia did not invade. Putin has MESSED UP EVERYTHING for Russia.
America really are poking the Russian bear aren’t they 😂😂
We see who's the aggressor now
boring. listeting to content without any graphics makes this utterly boring.
Finland has F-18s not Eurofighters
This Dude sounds like a total clown and his nuts definitely hasn’t dropped yet.!!
Using words callously signifies the useful idiot. NATO never moved east, new members seeking protection joined. The use of 'NATO eastward expansion' term is a denial of democratic agency for the population of Central Europe. It's a cynical imperialistic term.
Why not in Ukraine? show Putin that now we do not make games anymore.
To be clear: the base was there, they are “extending” it, not building any new bases
Back to repeating parts of the video at the beginning!!! STOP IT!!!
According to this bloke the Finns have the Eurofrighter??
