  1. It’s not 600sq miles, that’s not how the math works to convert from 1000sq km to sq miles. Convert 10 sq ft to square inches….

  2. Taking and holding is as different as Heaven and Earth. How can you trade what you cannot hold; The Tet Offensive- it is a failure but broke America's peoples will. The Ukrainein effort is only a show to try to assure the west to keep supplying Ukraine. Lost the battle to win the war. In war of power Russia win, in a war of attrition Ukrine win; as long as Ukraine don't settle and trade 10 to 1. American's War Indochina, American's War Iraq, American's War Afghanistan, and Soviet's War Afghanistan.

  3. Retaliation to UKRAINE?! It's been 2yrs+ that the ukrainians is suffering from you PUTLER! What else is there to retaliate you Dmbfk!

    STOP THE WAR AND LEAVE THE UKRAINIANS ALONE!

    SLAVA UKRAINI! AND GOD BLESS ALL OF THEM!

    Love and Respect from The Philippines! 🇵🇭 ❤️ 🇺🇦

  5. What would happen in a football match when one team would not score even they tried the best to offend in the first half, they lost 3 goals in the early second half?

  6. Everyone knows Ukraine is a dumping ground for old NATO weapons. Now they can purchase NEW modern American made weapons. The Biden administration wanted this. The Biden administration is the true Virus. All the death and displacement for weapon sales

  7. Zelensky is to Putin as Harris is to DJT……someone the fascists believed were a trivial threat but have become slayers of monsters. Slava Ukraine, Slava democracy.

  8. Scary that Putin speaks about Ukraine doing the bidding of the West. Sounds like he's setting the stage to attack other western countries

  13. It's early days. Let's wait a month or two to find out if this Ukrainian invasion of Russia proper was a brilliant idea or a stupid one.

  14. God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏 They know what they need to do. 👍 military operations specialists have analyzed well. Divert troops from Kyiv, etc.

  17. Putin is now threatening to invade Ukraine. Ooops, that's already happened. Well, Putin is now threatening to send indiscriminate missile launches into Ukrainian cities. Oooops, that's already happened.

    Breaking news: Putin is moving his mobile tall building, the one with open windows on the top floor, the one that so many Russian have accidentally fallen from, to deal with the Ukrainians.
    Alert: Ukrainians and unsuccessful Russian generals are advised not to accept any invitations to attend a meeting and have drinks on the top floor of that building.

  21. I was expecting Criminal PUTIN to use his usual tactics by threatening the west, particularly America to try and use that to slow the offensive. His nuclear rhetoric has been working since the beginning of the war, but it seems the whole world now know that he was bluffing all along because he is not immune to nuclear strike. 3 NATO countries have active NUKES, and he will never dare because that will be the end of his country. It is high time he should told to shut his mouth when he issues nuclear threat because that has been his cowardly behavior since the inception of this war and it has worked for him. If PUTIN is not defeated in Ukraine, that will mean the alteration of the world order and many issues of this kind will spring up and the world will be in a big big mess, then the nuclear war would now be inevitable.
