I admire Poland!
Y’all funny. So Europe can’t do without the us state shame on you.
If poland isn't careful with this situation they may find themselfs in the same situation as Ukraine.

@@danielbrown7535 Poland is Nato member state for a reason. Poles know Russia better than most of you ever will. Power is the only language Putin cares about.
Better we help more now in Ukraine’s defence, than sacrifice lives and trillions later.
Non sequitor. Your logic is broken.
If Russia defeat ukraine, what nato country will they attack?
Baltic countries: Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are in the biggest threat.
@@jajajejehjune4301Not my problem. I ain't lifting a finger for those countries. 😂 🇨🇦❤🇷🇺
@RudolphoAqui Exactly.
He is right. By abandoning Ukraine by denying them the means to defend themselves, would only embolden Putin and encourage him to go on the offensive, as he thinks the time is ripe to throw everything at Ukraine. If the Allies fail to stick by Ukraine to the end, all previous support would have been wasted. Ukraine cannot be expected to over perform forever. Every minute that is wasted, thinking what to do, needlessly cost Ukrainian lives and limbs.
And THEIR CHILDREN! What a soulless horror 😢
Ukraine already lost 😂 🇨🇦❤🇷🇺
Ukraine can't win
Ukraine is running out of soldiers ! Young Ukrainian men prefer to make parties in Western Europe, alone in Germany more than 200.000 !

Irreversible damage is done to the trustworthiness of the US.
The USA had slavery segregation and Native American annihilation. As well as fixed elections. There is no trust in the USA by American Citizens.
That's right, Trump just says US is no longer superpower and is afraid of pussin and xi
He definitely laid it all out for Johnson and all the Republican cult!
I was hoping one of these gentlemen would be interviewed, thank you!
Well done Mr Sikorski, great interview. Thank you for your super support for Ukraine.
Please watch 20 Day in Mariupol
No thanks.
I suggest you watch Maidan Massacre, and Snipers at Maidan.
Nobody wants your pro-war globalist propaganda.
I watched that twice and then asked myself, if Biden cared about Ukrainian lives why did he pull American troops out of Ukraine and offer President Zelinsky a flight out after Russia invaded in February 2022? Why did he deny Ukraine's urgent need for critical military aid for months only to eventually give them some of it and in such small quantities? Why didn't he urge the Democrat majority in the US Senate to pass the Bill the US House sent them with $61 billion in new aid for Ukraine last December?
@@506thparatrooper A direct confrontation of American troops with Russia would inevitably lead to a much bigger conflict, perhaps even nuclear. Even in the Soviet era both sides wanted to avoid it all cost. A flight out was offered to Zelensky because everyone thought that Ukraine can't withstand a full scale invasion and even in optimistic scenarios at the time military experts thought it would take a few weeks until Kiev is taken. Ukraine did what no one expected of them, they exceeded everyone's expectations and held out the worst. They did more than anyone could ask of them. Now it has become a war of attrition and it should mean bad news for Russia as their economy is peanuts compared to the economy of the West collectively. It's on us that Russia is still winning.
@@Gavroche_ Exactly, leave American troops in Ukraine and force Putin to decide if he wanted a bigger conflict perhaps even nuclear. Why does the west always limit themselves when mad vlad growls? During the Soviet era, there were multiple hostile engagements between American and Soviet & Warsaw pact forces. Those 300,000 American Soldiers in Western Europe held back a much stronger Soviet Union than the weak Russian military defeated by Ukraine almost daily. America did not back down during the Berlin airlift nor the Cuban missile crisis. Had Biden left American troops in Ukraine and rapidly provided Ukraine with critical ATACMs, HIMARS, F-16's, Patriot air defense systems, Abram tanks, etc instead of showing weaknesses, no flight out would be necessary for President Zelensky. This is why a dictator armed with nukes or not fears an American army led by a lion instead of an appeasing old goat like Biden. Same Biden who disgracefully left tens of thousands of Afghanis to perish.
Russia must be held accountable for all of the destruction they've caused. 💙💛
Sure. Wonder if you feel the same about the US and UK? If not, I'd love to hear why
@@ewartmouton What destruction by the US and UK are you referring to?
@@angela1984a we can start with Iraq but this is going to be a long conversation
@@ewartmoutonalso us supported the mujahedden later they( majahedden) formed Taliban . Taliban habors terrorism and also killing hazara community also us supported Bangladesh against India also supported their genocidal campaign against Bangladesh . So yes us should pay the reparations also
@@ewartmouton US left Iraq. When is Russia going to leave Ukraine?
It is a no-brainer.
Exactly, Biden and his democrats led US Senate willingly sacrifice Ukrainian lives for domestic political gain. If this aid was so urgent, the Democrat US Senate would have passed the Republican House bill with $61 billion in new aid to Ukraine last December. Instead they defeated it and Biden threatened to veto this bill. The Senate has not passed an additional bill with aid for Ukraine since last August.
Then write a check!
@@rack9458 Russian assets in the west are frozen. Most likely they will be used to purchase weapons for Ukraine or used to rebuild that country. Enjoy your day, comrade.
If you support democracy support Ukraine!
If I don't care . Who I shall support
So supporting regme that cancelled elections is supporting democracy? Good to know.
Because elections in Russia are undemocratic and lack of election in the Ukraine is a perfect democratic thing. :)
@@lukasz.adamski Yes because 20% of the country is occupied and can't vote and the rest of the country is terrorized by the war and voting endangers their lives.
Yes, the US Congress should provide the money and weapons to the Ukraine to defend themselves and not to Israel who are decimating Gaza. The EU should come up with more money because the threat on the continent is dire. Putin is also threatening using nuclear weapons. NATO has nuclear weapons as well as France, but of course, using them would be suicidal.
have you considered believing the U.S. government is a bit suicidal
it's not just about Ukraine or even NATO/EU. It's about defending the rule of law! AND it shows other imperialist aggressors that disregarding the rule of law will be costly.
Ukraine is not in EU nor in NATO.
@@lukasz.adamski No, but they are just next door.
@@moodygirl609 Just like Russia and Belarus and as far as I know we aren't obligared to support them.
I also wondered why Mike Johnson could care so little about a thoroughly Christian NATION 😢
Zelensky is not a Christian. 😂 He banned the church in Ukraine, right after he banned elections, banned opposition parties, and banned privately owned media. 😂 Dictator Zelensky 🇨🇦❤🇷🇺
"Thoroughly corrupt Christian Nation". Much like the media you leave out the important details
Probably because they're the wrong denomination. Evangelicals only recognize their own. And petty partisan politics rules over all, including Christian vaules.
Because he is getting his orders from a false prophet.
Russian refineries are burning, bombers falling out of the sky, the Black Sea fleet is becoming quickly the biggest underwater eco system in the world and Belgorod oblast is setting up to become the Republic of Belgorod.
"Waterworld"
And the EUkraine has already lost and sending pregnant conscripted females against their will to the front lines to die.
Yes we see the West helping Ukraine’s PR tactics, but it doesn’t change Ukraine losing ground and lives.
@@tombrazy12hunnit we help, from the base I will mention about 350/400 tanks, about 400 infantry fighting vehicles, 200 guns, including about 70 crabs, about 200 wolverines [wheeled armored personnel carriers], about 25/50 rakes, self-propelled mortars [automatic], military drones, about 100 armored vehicles, several dozen helicopters and planes, most of them from the post-Soviet era but after renovation and with modern observation systems.Every month we repair about 30 Ukrainian tanks after combat damage.old equipment is running out and we send new, modern equipment more and more often.look, if you count our donated tanks and those that we renovated, Ukraine has about 900/1000 tanks in its line, which are thanks to us, so now it would be defenseless.There are only 3 battalions of Western tanks Ukraine.including one tank company from Poland.
And only 25 mln Ukrainian left out of 50 mln in 90’s.
Shame on the US for not standing by an Ally in need.
Not an ally. Ukraine has never helped America with their internal Democrat enemies.. why would Ukraine expect help now? 😂
Sorry but we don't belong in foreign wars!
Then go ahead and volunteer yourself to fight on the front lines instead of sitting here like a keyboard warrior. None of us want to go and waste our lives for another military industrial complex bs
The majority of Americans support Ukraine, it's the radical MAGA wing of the Republican party that's holding back aid.
@@rack9458 So you will only wake up when Russia attacks you?
Very true.
Do you see similarity with Putin. He is like Hitler or Stalin. You know the history. You know then what's coming next.
Xi Ping is not much better than those three.
Aid for Ukraine is not wasting money, but rather investing in security Europe and NATO, wish more people can understand this.
MAMBO JUMBO
Had they sent the correct equipment and not been telling what was sent. This could have been over by now🙄.
US cant have it bothways. On one hand , US strictlyregulates who can and who can not make a sertain types of weapons, and at the same time denying to help in the region where the same denied countries are in danger. That s setting aside what Radek Sikorski just said here. The deal always have 2 sides. If US want to withdraw from EU , there is nothing holding eastern europe from developing nukes and other long range weapons. But that would also mean , an economic push from EU markets. like i said - every deal has 2 sides.
If you want to be with the truth, help Ukraine. That's so easy to understand.

While I agree we need to help our allies especially when they are losing against a non-ally. I think its important that europe recognizes they need american support in terms of defense. This is the first attack since world war II and europe is again dependent.
Yes, every European knows that!
It's not just European countries that are helping Ukraine either!
Plus we also give massive amounts of humanitarian aid, and money, and we are happy to do so!
Yes, every European knows that!
We are ALL helping the best we can, including sending humanitarian aid and money.
Allies are allies.....you don't just give up on an ally just because you feel like it!
Who would have won WW2 if that had happened!
@@Mortthemoose Sorry, I should have been more specific to my point. I agree with you on allies and aid. What I was criticizing is not the political positions of Europe as a whole, more so the anti-American rhetoric I have seen and heard from Europeans generally. Criticisms are welcome as the u.s. has much to be criticized for as long as its recognized their is a dependency on that country for things like defense.
Article 5 has been activate only once, and that was after 9/11 where all NATO members supported the USA after it was attacked.
@@iainford7592 Including Ukraine, who had troops on the ground and allowed the US the use of their airspace and airstrips.
It would be nice to get all the leaders of our European allies on American news explaining the Ukraine situation.
That was a very eloquent plea for assistance from Poland.
Is Ukraine not cranking out it’s own munitions at all by this point?
nope they had plenty of time to develop a capable military they supposedly have all these great fighters but nothing to fight with or defend with ... why we have been giving them money for a good while now
Up until the invasion their entire military was based on Warsaw Pact calibers and equipment. Setting up a sufficient production for 155 mm shells is something neither America nor Europe was able to do quickly enough, let alone Ukrine. It takes time.
It's insanely hard to build and secure large military facilities in Ukraine where everything is in reach of Russian long-range missiles. There a some projects in development in cooperation with Germany and potentially France but it's more long-term.
