Help is very important. But they need moore!!! US has a looot of Patriot missile. They also produce 1 in every month. So just since the war started they produced 28 Patriot system with radar, command center and interceptors.

@@benachiesween A radioactive one.
Only if it's still standing after this conflict
i can see ukraine being very successful economically after joining NATO. they have great industry, agriculture and resources. they just need that security garauntee to assure the markets.
You actually meant to say….Blackrock…etc and the US will do very well. The US are not in this for nothing.

Ukraine really needs help to defend democracy and freedom against russian aggression!
start by having elections ??
Like putin, only person running 😅
They canceled the elections…. How democracy is that
Ermmm when was the last election?
@@stanh8071 During war, elections are halted. This is a normal procedure.
Very clear vision
Ok so they have declared an "irreversible path".
I can say I'm on an irreversible path to winning the lottery, doesn't mean it will actually happen.
I mean it would eventually if I had infinite time and money but I don't and neither does Ukraine or NATO.
Specsavers 👓
Well, UK and France just had elections that will guarantee support for Ukraine regardless of what happens in the US election this year.
You have all the means necessary to stop the massacre in Ukraine from day one!
Two and a half years later, is this the best thing you can do?
Absolutely true. Ukraine was let down in every way from the time that they agreed for the Russian nuclear weapons on their territory to be removed in the understanding that Ukraine would always be protected by the US & the western world.
Then they were not allowed into NATO after they had willingly given up those Russian weapons as they had been promised. So they had lost bargaining power.
Ukraine has been used & abused for to long.
Glory to Ukraine
Why?

-Donbas in three months!-

What's seriously now coming into Ukraine's favour is that the Russian economy is now very badly damaged because of the war.. and there's no way that Putin can stop the drain or improve the economy.. Russia is now so dependent on China that China is able to extract high advantage in it's designs in eastern parts of the Federation in return for supplying essentials to the Russian economy..
In the coming year, the sanctions, inability to to repair essential infrastructure, the financial drain on the Russian economy of the war, the decimation of the workforce into the front lines, or into the war production, plus the mass emigrations that have taken place will rapidly affect Russia's ability to continue waging the war.
That's apart from the damage done by continuous attacks on oil refineries by Ukraine and internally on rail and weapons production facilities by Russian freedom fighters.
plus North Korea ; such nice people to be partners with.
The new world order is taking shape
Agreed Putin has done a great job ,the man is a genius . Will go down in history the same as trump will….
@@APW-ry2ok Yes, serving long Prison terms!!.. ICC & U.S!!-
@@toodleloo2253might help if the US was actually a signatory to the ICC (currently it isn't)
The problem is, Europe has had years of relative peace, and then you lose focus, and it is difficult to keep your eye on the ball. And now they have to replenish everything more quickly and that is impossible. It's what you see happening. And the fear, so much fear, it's very bad.
best news.. stand together against a despot...
Any country that doesn't reach the 2% mark should be obligated to put 2% of their population on the front lines
Ukraine is going to be a wonderful member of NATO. We have so much to learn from them!
@gdutfulkbhh7537 You're joking, right....
Yes, they will!
Hahaha most corrupt country in the world outside of africa
@@stanh8071 You mean RuZZia?
The experience of the invasion makes Ukraine a major asset as a NATO member, given a highly modern military with extensive combat experience. Ukraine will have one of the best-trained armies in Europe. It will contribute in many ways to Europe, in security terms, in terms of fending off digital warfare. Ukraine is among the countries other EU countries can learn from.
Good interview
Merry Christmas! Amen
Sanity clause is coming to town
It's truly inspiring to hear someone talk with such understanding of the Russian mindset. This explains why although the Russian Federation are advancing, this counts for nothing...
as General Hodges has pointed out.
'advancing' backwards
Well membership of NATO is irreversible for part of Ukraine anyway.
I don't want to stay in nato with that ukrainian dictator
The world is a wonderful place, a little is better than nothing and late is better than never, - but do not rely on the Yanks. Europe is wealthy, Europe is strong, Europe can do it if it chooses to.
Thank you for the stunning contrast: Jim Townsend vs. Ben Hodges.
Oh yeah the US will provide everything once again. Time for the EU to actually stand & put their big boy pants on.
That's an epic answer 10:49 in 👍✊ 💙💛
Russian widows and children will soon mass protest in unity! ❤
Not a chance unless they do it in private
They do that and they'll get sent to the frontline as sandbags.
Aber,vorerst geht die Ukraine sang und klanglos vorweg. 🇷🇺🪖😄👍💪
Got to call his bluff,,if he wants to declare Crimea and Donbas as Russian then Ukraine has a right to declare itself wanting NATO and EU membership.
It's not the concern as to whether Ukraine can join NATO,the concern is iif either NATO itself or,Ukraine make public announcements about joining NATO.The REAL CONCERN ISXWHAT WILL HAPPEN THERE AFTER.
This interview is irreversible 😂
Absolutely terrible
Who is this monster ? He got Ukraine blood on his hands
His name is Putin
Biden
Who will pay for all these unlimited Patriot systems for Ukraine ? US taxpayers?
This is what happens when you disrespect the chosen one.
How about now
Here for the comments --> 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hahahahahaha... Imagine not even being able to conquer a small chunk of land from a much smaller country in over 2 years... Now imagine fighting NATO... Pooting = delusional.
I wouldn't exactly describe Ukraine a "small chunk" of land at all.

And yet Russia is winning

Why?
Yes the smile of Zelensky💙💛💙💛💙💛💙
Irreversible is ONLY strong word. Nothing more in this context. Delusional is more likely.
Ukraine is already a full member of Nato in materials and actions. What's only left is to be confirmed by documentation. The position and commitment of Nato into Ukraine are unturnable.
Aren't THEY SUPPOSED TO BE NOT TAKING PART IN THIS CONFLICT?I'm confused.
Russia supplied weapons to guerillas who fought the Rhodesian government. It supplied weapons to the Vietcong to fight the South Vietnamese and Americans, and Russia supplied weapons to Taliban in Afghanistan to fight a democratic government.
It is pay back time and they shouldn't complain. Russia has got to deal with it.
The US would never tolerate hostile forces on its border, so why would Russia?
Because Russia doesn't have a choice. Neighbors can join whatever alliances they want.
@@tomw.6757 The US didn't have a choice when the USSR tried to put missiles in Cuba, but they did try to stop it.
Because russia is the one that's hostile
Because russia is the one that's hostile
No western forces on Russia's border are hostile.
What a lot of people commenting negatively about Ukraine joining NATO failed to realize is that until there is a ceasefire or the war is over Ukraine will not be allowed to enter NATO as one of the rules and guidelines is that the country answering must be free of conflict civil or national.
All these people are saying is that they are preparing all of the basic paperwork and preliminary steps so that when the conflict is over in Russia loses then Ukraine can enter NATO faster and easier with treaties and contracts and agreements already in place. It's not brain surgery to understand what they're telling us. There are a lot of hate mongers in this chat room that seem to be pro-russia pro authoritarian regimes. Russia invaded a sovereign Nation there is nothing historical for justified in what they did when it comes to the war they've started with ukraine. They will lose as long as the Allies stand behind Ukraine because the attrition rate on the Russian side is around 1200 troops a day which is unsustainable no matter how much the citizenry chooses to ignore the war.
UK 's contribution to NATO in 2023 was estimated as 2.3%.
More than legally required!..
Most don't even contribute 2% so...
but why didn't they give that extra 03% to the food bank? who need it so much?
#PUTININPRISON
Ukraine is paying an extremely high and heavy price for N.A .T .O membership!
That not exactly true US has about 24 patriots systems in storage
take a shot every time he says "AAA" (300 shots later: "i feel strange" lol)
USA! USA USA!
Ukraine admission into NATO has to be a condition for Zelenski to sign a peace treaty
Hope its not like a BS Budapest Memorandum style wording.
Ask...why dont you give EVERYTHING Ukraine needs to WIN?
How many threats has Putin and his thugs made its so many ive lost count yet NATO and the Ukraine look him in the eyes and still stay strong 💪
@@stanadams5541 When Putin finally invented Ukraine, Europe literally gave up, ZELENSKY the man said WEAPONS WEAPONS AND MORE WEAPONS, steering down Putin's nukes, this is UNIMAGINABLE POWER, cheers 🥂 .
Giving Ukraine everything it needs to win this war and Ukrainian integration into the EU and NATO is the west’s best self defense.
Poo Tin is not winning but he's not losing either. Ukraine has done nothing but lose. That's the problem.
What about conscription in all the NATO member nations??? Do they feel any responsibility for their own national defense??? Will they try to shift it off on the poorest people among their own populations???
I believe everything you and the Easter Bunny say.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice but what will Trump say about this when he wins the election. Nothing is irreversible in these times.

I agree 1000% with you sir don't let putin bluff you open the door for ukraine they will mean a lot as member of nato believe me ! 🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾
@gerritgill1021 Not a clue! Before the love fest with Ukraine they were ranked as one of the most corrupt countries in the world, by the very same people leading the love fest. You work it out.....

Ya ok😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jon Batiste freedom
The G7 is a 40 trillion $ power house russia less than 2tr. Due the math
Putins invasion was one of the greatest blunders ever committed! Driving two countries to joint Nato and increasing the military power of Nato!
Increasing the border with NATO by 1,500 km is a great effort, thanks poo tin!
Increasing the military power of NATO?REALLY?WHERE WOULD THAT HAPPEN,THEN?
Ukraine has to become a member of NATO, and they should have been allowed to be years ago. After 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea. If they had, then this war would not have happened.
Instead NATO chose appeasement to Russia.
Ukraine has been used as a buffer between the west & Russia without the support & protection it should have been given.
Farage the appeaser will be gutted if Putin can't do as he pleases
I am not a Farage fan but i have to say you are talking nonsense! Wake up we are on the brink of ww3 you gullible puppet.
😅😅😅😅😅
Don’t believe this dude.😂😂😂😂😂
2008 Ukraine will be admitted to NATO.
2014 Ukraine will be admitted to NATO.
2022 Ukraine will be admitted to NATO.
2024 Ukraine will be admitted to NATO positively. 2027 Ukraine will be admitted to NATO certainly.
2030 Ukraine will be admitted to NATO surely.
The proverbial elusive meal
Russia loses regardless
That PROVERBIAL SAYING,about one being a SUCKER
Thankyou poootin for adding to NATO and making it stronger 😂 what a strategist he is 😂😂😂😂 he’s now destroying what was once a great country and the people of Russia and their close neighbours Ukraine 😢
👍👍👍👍👍
ruSSia great? Only in territory occupied.
Has this been fact checked?
NATO should now consider Ukraine as a member, whether Putin like it or not and give him ultimatum to withdraw his forces from Ukrainianian border with in a given time. If Putin cant do that NATO forces will Help Ukraine to push the Russian forces out of Ukrainian sovereign border. NATO: its time to flex your muscle.
NATO: no
YOU do realise that,the very second after Ukraine signs the NATO MEMBERSHIP,IT WILL BE LEVELLED
