  4. About Russia Ukraine war,,,,..The western news analysts saying ukraine have hit inside Russia with great strategy and power since ww2…is total BS!!!!…These Western-Crapists dont know anything about Russian Military!!!

  7. I grew up during the Cold War. All I ever heard was how the Soviet Union was so much more advanced than the American military. Any day, the Russians would sweep in and take over the United States and Western Europe, and there was nothing the west could do. Over and over, that was all we heard. But the United States and Western Europe were never overrun by the red hoard. In fact, as far as I can tell, we were lied to. It seems that the Russian army and navy are paper tigers, no claws, and no teeth. I'm pretty sure that the Russian nuclear arsenal probably isn't as scary as our government would have us think. Russia doesn't scare me anymore. And to think about it if we are to use the grade of Russian failures in this war. A lot of the material that Russia uses comes from China. And none of the equipment that the Chinese have given Russia isn't all that good. So China doesn't scare me that much either.

  10. As Kursk to Moscow is only  7hrs 39mins drive time & if there are no real large troop formations between Kursk & Moscow what's to stop Ukrainians from driving there & arresting Putin ?? Disregarding  air attacks & missiles strikes .

  13. Is there seriously anyone in 2024 still getting their news from mainstream outlets? Well, maybe just the baby boomers 😂

  14. I think this is a tactical mistake. Since CNN is covering it like this, I am convince it is a lethal mistake. It's gonna make more surface to defend or worst, those men on the attack will be surrounded.

  15. READ!

    1. We are ALL sinners – (Rom. 6:23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    *Sin separates us from the Holy God

    2. There is a punishment for our sin -(Rom. 6:23a) For the wages of sin is death;

    * Death – eternal death – HELL

    3. God loves us, He does not want us to go to Hell, He provided a way for our escape from Hell – (Rom. 5:8) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

    * Because of God's love for us, He sent his only son Jesus Christ to die in our place on the cross. Jesus Christ took all the weight of our sins so we can be saved through grace, NOT our works.

    * The blood that Jesus shed on the cross can wash away our sins and make us clean

    4. Through Jesus Christ, we can now have eternal life in HEAVEN – (Rom. 6:23b) but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    *Gift – free, but you can only have it if you receive it. If you reject it then the punishment of Hell is waiting for you

    5. How can I receive eternal life? – (Rom. 10:9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 

    * You have to admit you are a sinner and you cannot save yourself from Hell nor go to Heaven through your own efforts.

     You have to believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, was buried and rose again after 3 days and that He and only He can save you from hell.

    (Roman 10:13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  

    * Whosoever means anyone including me and you! 

    Do you want to do it? Pray this prayer:

    Dear God, I admit I am a sinner and cannot save myself from hell. I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried and rose again. I believe that only  Jesus Christ can save me from Hell and He is the only way to Heaven.  I accept Jesus Christ in my heart as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for eternal life. Amen.

  17. Russia maybe the largest country in size but is really a tiny country in terms of military power and intelligence. Slave 🇺🇦

  18. WOW coverage. Keep up the momentum of multiple brief overlapping stories around a major news with top experts and reporters in a short time. Do not go back to dragging Patton and on.

  19. Russia is already hard up with problem of how to muster sizeable force to counter invading Ukrainians because of large casualties from prolong fighting, Russian morale is low and having a leader/dictator who is whimsical.

  21. Russia can't take it back the same way it was taken. They can negotiate for it (very low probability) or they can level the place. Ukraine will make them level every village. Ugly either way. A lot of folks are going to die.

  22. Well the ukranians likely have no interest in taking russian territory but it forces russia to defend themselves while also attacking ukraine. Russian soldiers can’t be everywhere at the same time. Also there’s a psychological factor to the russian people backing the war.

  24. The Ukrainians have a huge opportunity to share the truth with Russians. Humanitarian aid…what is that? They dont steal children and kill grandmother's? They are not Nazis? They don't want to stay and occupy Russia? What a difference from what the Russians have been told. Vladie is very worried, just like Trump that his lies are being exposed to those who didn't know anything different. Doubt and skepticism sets in and word of mouth spreads quickly. Relatives talk among themselves and the oligarchy is very rattled…Slava Ukraine! In the name of peace, truth and humanitarian values.

  27. Kamala will win because she wants to get rid of these abortion laws that hurt and kill women and babies that will never be born as women lost the ability to give birth. And she is not going to destroy families with the Project 2025 plan Trump wants you to forget about, and we will not. And Kamala wants to protect democracy, where Trump wants to be a King dictator for the rest of his life.
