The news here in America isn’t this transparent. Thank you for being unbiased and helping soo many to understand what has lead to the situation we find ourselves in.
Or you just aren’t paying attention because you already assume that they’re not going to give you the information so you ignore it.
Western mainstreamed media lies are not for patriotism but war is a profit making business and there are big names/parties involved.
Wake up, you dont need a news outlet to mould your opinion, learn some history and deduction. Take on multiple sources of information, and form your own opinion, dont take any 1 piece as verbatim of the TRUTH. My opinion...V
Media are media they don’t know anything about geopolitics
Nah Western Media is just as big a controlled propoganda spitting machine as any communist nation. Hell it is worse because pretty much every major allied country runs the same onesided stories. I can tell you Australian news is the same. not a single mention of the NATO expansion or the interview with putin where he states that it is literally the reason for the operation.
Honestly, I've learned more about geopolitics and history from this woman than all of western media outlets combined
No media is a good place to learn history.
Me too she is awesome
You won't learn shit from just one side of the story you need to hear both sides before you can come to a conclusion. Palki has only glossed over it but it is the truth in what she is saying.
because western media dont give you info.
Fact
Thank you so much for this video. I never knew about all this. I'm from the UK so Russia has obviously been painted as the villain in all the media and yes, whilst they are the villains for invading another country, I never really knew or understood the background to this. Why on earth did NATO keep expanding and taking all these unwarranted pre-emptive actions into the east to encircle Russia to the east? And when you mentioned how Russia said they were 'stabbed in the back' after NATO went back on their word - this is literally a repeat of WW2 and a continuation of the Cold War. After all the horrors we know happened within the last century, why do we keep returning to same spot over and over again? Who were we to go back on our word and unnecessarily expand NATO to Russia's borders? Whilst I don't think this justifies the war in Ukraine I do understand Russia's actions more. And, as someone from the UK, I want us to stop sending weapons. If anything, we can send supplies in terms of food and medicine, but we have no place to send weapons. Yes, we're part of NATO but why is it our PM extending the hand of friendship now? This will backfire on us heavily, and though I don't think Russia will attack us since it will most certainly aggravate and lead to WW3, we need to limit our involvement. I'm obviously not Ukrainian or Russian, but we need to have peace - what is the reasoning for war when we all have so many problems and so much more in common than differences? People need to stop interfering in business that doesn't involve them, start upholding treaties and remember their histories in order to maintain peace. I feel sorry for Ukraine for bearing the brunt of this decades long problem which erupted now, and I feel sorry for all the civilians and soldiers risking their lives on both sides. Speaking from UK, we need to focus more on our own problems and send foreign aid not weapons to those in need.
it's unfortunate that in times like these entire nations feel disconnected from their own leaders, and there's virtually nothing that can be done about it. Even if 99% of the country was completely against the war, the politicians in charge would take the opportunity and do something stupid on the world stage instead, just because they are the ones in charge. To them, what's really on the line is their own reputation, the public judging their intellect, perseverance, dignity, pride, etc - it's not his countrymen that are losing their lives on his behalf, no no that's not as important. Ironically you guys in UK sent Ukraine possibly the most harmful weapons of all - depleted uranium shells. Those will be harming the general populous and unborn children for decades to come, on both sides of the war. And if Boris Johnson hadn't flown over to Ukraine and talked Zelensky out of taking Russia's peace deal at the beginning of the conflict, none of this would have happened in the first place. But what can you do, these monkeys in suits just take our taxes and do stupid, abhorrent, immoral things on our behalf, with our own money. What would we ever do without them. I'm one to talk. I live in Canada, and our leader is a fascist
the president and the media knew all this but they decided to coordinate and lie directly to the american people.............think about that.
Well said Helvar!
All media should always without any bias speak the truth. Respect to Palaki Sharma, and all those journalists who are not afraid to speak the truth. 👍🙏God bless you with all happiness.🤗
So well said Helvar. Your sentiments & observations echo mine, with the exception that I feel the same as Putin, in the need to punch a hole in what was going to be NATO's last brick in the wall that fenced Russia in. It was, plain & simply, the Cuban missile crisis with the roles reversed.
I'm from Chinada, where our beloved 'leader', Mr. Dressup, aka, Turdope, the tin pot DICKtator from Hell, continues to throw our money and materials into the cauldron willy nilly, with the end result being that we, along with the rest of the West are going to get nuked to the point of glowing in the dark for the next century.
Concerted prayer to our Heavenly Father is the only thing that will turn the world's fate around.
Imagine the outcry if China and or Russia set up military bases on the USA's border
That’s what I’ve been saying too….. no one gets it…..
@@Bernz66they get it but they don't care. They just hate Russia and that's it.
Remember the Cuban Missile crises?
US was so freaked out they were literally going to start nuclear war and end humanity
The Cuban Missile Crisis could have started a WW3. So Kruschev removed his missiles. But not before US had removed their missiles from Turkey.
As a Brit living in the USA, you put all other news networks to shame with your thorough knowledge and truthful reporting.
Keep up the great work👍👍👍
The Brits are behind NATO, our president bows to your Queen, why? Because the monarchy is trying to control the world through its NATO countries, which its Queen is in control of
NATO is to the queen of England as the bees are to the Queen bee. It will take one smart bee like Mr Puttin to bring this to the light. Notice, Puttin states that the west needs to stop helping the UK

Well spoken and unbiased. This is what media should aspire to be. Not the cancel culture promotion it has become.

Gorbachev say the NATO issue was never discussed in his talks to dissolve Berlin wall, he is still alive go and ask him. Of course this war could be avoided and NATO failed to protect Ukraine.
Curbing of free speech in the name of righteousness is one of the most vile and undemocratic things ever. Cancel culture is exactly what's wrong and counterproductive to all the progressive values of all democracies.

YES UKRAINE PRESIDENT WAS SO XXXX
It is Putin making Russians jump at shadows. He is power hungry and wants to leave a legacy for himself as the one who restored Russia to it’s USSR glory days. The problem is the world has moved on and globalised and in order for Putin to strengthen his grip he must unify the people around his agenda. How do all dictators do that? They place the people in fear of a foreign aggressor. In this case, “Nazis in Ukraine harming ethnic Russians in Donbas” and, “NATO wants to invade Russia”. The conflict in Donbas has been agitated by Russia in order to reclaim more “soviet” lands. NATO wouldn’t exist if not for Russia’s aggression and is purely a defensive Pact. But given Putin has eliminated any dissenting voices in Russian media, the average Russian ends up brainwashed by state media.
Nah Ukraine is the Black Goat (sacrifice)

Thank you Wion. I just downloaded your app to show gratitude and support your journalism.
Love from Sydney, Australia.
Small addition, Remember Cuban Missile crisis, why US threatened war back then? Also, if Russia would have been made part of NATO, this would have never happened, why were they isolated and ignored? Another thing, please research about the atrocities and discrimination on Russian heritage people in Ukraine, as per Russia's concern, they are/were systematically targeted. And oh, the coupe in 2014, where the Government of Ukraine was toppled and pro-West/US government was installed.
Commonwealth govs are sus. Just saying.
Stupid and totally irrelevant after being the for front against Russia and trying to establish credibility again on its viewers after noticing most have already looked at both end and are having a contrary opinion to what they were selling us before.
Sorry Louie but I have to inform you that you're still ignorant of European history. And after watching this video you're now misinformed as well. Congratulations!
@@occupationresults135 she's just repeating Putin's word back in 2014. Gorbachev himself has denied these claims lmfao. But people won't bother to get themselves informed until they see fireworks on the telly
I am a French citizen and although I believe this invasion should not have happened I often asked questions such as: Why did the international community not take sanctions against the US when they invaded Irak? Nothing also happened when the EU and the US recognized Kosovo that claimed separation from Yugoslavia, yet we treat the Donbass situation differently. Your clear and well written article provides a great point of view to know both sides of the story. Yes there is blame on the west and the US on driving Poutin to where he is now. I am saddened at the Western news media that is more sensational and provides biased information, not true analysis. And it is also saddening to see that the EU and the US do not appear to be in a mood to ind pacific solutions. I believe that it has always been a manipulation to reduce Russia to a poor economic level so that only one superpower remains. It is time for emerging nations to take the lead!
they didnt take sanctions too when.ukrainian governement killed 13 000 people in dombass, this is non sense
both parties are bunch of madman trying to dominate
They’re all Khazarians.
US is difficult to put sanction on, if not impossible.
The sanction on Russia are damaging European economy as well, but the bigger damage will be on Russian side.
It's impossible to put sanctions on US or China, because it will be the end of our economy. They are too big to punish.

Excellent analytical essay. Thank you very much, from a Canadian.
Please continue to carry the true spirit of journalism. Unbiased and spoken with unadulterated facts. Thank you Palki for providing this information
how exactly? countries Russia invaded and occupied in past 70 years: Ukraine (3 times), Georgia (3 times), Belorussia, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. countries USSR invaded and destabilized living millions dead: Iraq, Afghanistan, (Chechyna was part of Russia but still, Russian tanks ran over 400,000 chechnyan citizen in just span of 1 years) and iran. all of which USA helped with guns to fight off Communists. what we get? terrorists those who declared war with USA. so to begin with countries USA fought against was always result of being destabilized by USSR or Russia. (not to mention Korean war, or Communist China getting helped from USSR.) did all of this happened because of NATO?
Not unbiased. She basically lied about NATO agreeing not to expand east. If you go to the website they got that little clip from even it says that isn't true. They decided to just clip the part were the site was explaining what the myth is.

Wooow!! Bravo 👏 This is the first impartial objective view on this situation. I’m from Russia and I strongly condemn this so called military operation and my heart goes out to people of Ukraine who has suffered in this brutal military actions. BUT: president Zelenski was warned by president Biden about possible invasion but did nothing to prevent it, conversely, he was repeatedly asking NATO to let Ukraine join them as fast as possible, also made a statement about developing nuclear weapons in future, which obviously heated things up. He probably thought Putin was bluffing, but he didn’t.
My humble opinion- this invasion could have been prevented if Zelensky tried to negotiate not only with Biden but also with Russian authorities. So that some of responsibility should be accepted by president Zelensky also.
Any way - Peace to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Maybe, the Kremlin could claim Zelensky provoked them, yet they’ve been building up the soldiers and tanks at the Ukrainian border for months. Don’t think Putin wasn’t planning it for years.
Well said. I’ve been vilified and slated for opposing this war due to the nato aggression whilst still condemning Russia’s attack on the Ukraine, where does it end? Hypocrisy, corruption and arrogance appear to be the order of the day.
Thank you so much for the real facts, youre literrally the only one who speaks the truth about the NATO rats. All the deaths so far could be avoided if NATO didnt push Ukraine to join them.
I personally hate war but every country has right to secure their borders and should be respected
US did when Russia had missiles in Cuba 100s of miles away .. in retaliation to US actions. .Now world order is changing .. Russia is aligning to China, Pak and India supporting these illegal sanctions which are racists as NATO killed millions and still killing to this day is not sanctioned.
So why is Russia and Putin not respected ??

This is the purest form of free, balanced and finally serious journalism. I'm Austrian married to an Ukrainian wife and as such I have the war more or less daily even in my living room. So I'm of course against it. On the other hand it was clearly expectable, that Russia one day will fall crazy over the NATO expansion. Personally I call this passive aggressive expansion without any real need for it, since after the dissolution of the former UdSSR anyway the US have remained as the only superpower.
The pity is that Putin, at least at in the early days of his presidentship, has been a historic chance for builing up trust. What's not mentioned in the report, is the fact, that Russia even suggested to become a NATO member and in parallel wanted to become a member of the EU. Both suggestions have been turned down by the West.
And although having family relations to Ukraine, I'm sorry to say, that for my point of view, the actual Ukrainian leadership under President Selensky is to blame as well. Their insisting on a NATO membership is like pouring oil into a burning fire. It was a clear call from Russia, that they will never accept this step.
Just imagine - we write 2050 and Canada and Mexico form a military agreement with China, inviting China to put some divisions of military forces on american soil. How will the US react to that? The will for sure not accept it, i.e. since the Monroe doctrin is still in force, in which the US clearly declare, that they will never accept foreign military on the American continent.
And since this will be a threat to their security I can understand it. Although both, Canada and Mexico, as independent states will have all rightst to act in that direction. With other words, what's legally right, must not always be the right thing to do considering the bigger picture.
Probably the best advice to Ukraine might be declaring neutrality and in parallel getting a security guarantee, that if Russia might ever again start a war against them, NATO will defend the Ukraine even despite the fact that they will not be a member.
Will such a deal be easy to negotiate and achieve? Certainly not, but with some good will of all involved parties it shall still not be absolute utopic......
That would never be a solution because it's the same as being a member, and Putin and cronies will never accept it.
Your allegations are totally not true..you are a liar!
@@marieindia8116 - I didn't say that it will be easy to achieve and accept. However I still see a difference of becoming a full NATO member with voting rights in all committees, acceptance of Nato troups on Ukrainan soil, etc.... AND/OR being neutral and having an own Ukrainian army and in parallel having a defense protection by the NATO for the case of another future Russian attack.
Ukraine is an independent state which has a democratically elected government that can decide who to cooperate with. If Putin cares about security of its country, he first should try to respect the will of his own people. Putin is the only man putting Russia's security at danger.

Russia has also tried relentlessly to influence Ukraine all these years but with more aggressive/ corrupt methods now the people have to fight for the freedom because Putin is losing control which was inevitable, his excuses for this war are a joke and I’m surprised more people can’t see through it.
@@icemanA84 that is true however NATO should not have enticed or embraced Ukraine and Georgia. To Putin, that is precisely like Mexico joining a defence pact with Russia, the USA would not accept a hostile Mexico yet Russia is expected to accept a hostile Ukraine? Putin is a brute but he did warn the West about Ukraine joining NATO. Ukraine joining NATO added nothing to NATO except greater risk, it should have remained a neutral state, a buffer zone. That all said, what is happening is terrible and I pray for peace.
@@SimonBrisbane the only problem with your statement is the fact that you said “nato shouldn’t entice or embrace Ukraine” they did not, Ukraine showed interest and they took their request into “consideration” why I say it in quotes is because nato would have never added Ukraine because of Russia, plus Ukraine was in an active conflict within it’s borders (before the war) and the icing on the cake it that in order for you to join nato all members must agree and seeing that members knew that it would start a conflict with Russia they opted to not let Ukraine join. All of that said Ukraine is independent and has every right to choose who it feels secures it’s economy and borders, unfortunately for Russia that is the EU and NATO respectively. Hope to hear your feedback!
@@SimonBrisbane You made a good analogy there with how the US would feel if Mexico made a pact with Russia.
@@ktg5241 then Ukraine should know their place. They saw this coming, nato saw this coming.
so now we call zelensky a brave hero despite sacrificing the citizens.
I'm not really sure if joining nato was a surefire and the ONLY WAY to boost ukraine's economy and security.
An important fact that deserves more consideration: Russia's population is about 150 million whereas the total population of NATO countries is about 950 million. Thus NATO greatly outnumbers Russia. This helps explain why Russia fears NATO so much.
En la población hay una diferencia considerable. Pero una mala campaña de información, gran parte de esta población rechazaría cualquier pretensiones de guerra...... otro dato importante es que ambos cuentan con armas nucleares, si llegara a utilizarse, quienes serán los blancos faciles???? Al final hay un ganador... pero a que nivel de destrucción.... La OTAN es considerado como un solo país soberano. Es decir no importa si el primer misil es lanzado desde USA, España o Alemania, Rusia podría responder contra cualquier territorio....
Wdym Russia is feared of Nato? Nato is the reason why he started the war with Ukraine. Nato was pushing the borders into Russia. So in order to scare away the bloody west, Putin declared war on Ukraine
Russias population is also shrinking
@worldsgreatestdude1784 the population is also shrinking in the west.
@@miltonzhicay9025NATO is not considered a single country, it is an organisation. The policies are aligned with member nations but it has its own rules and these are overseen. No single country holds power over policy as its a collective group, so America, UK, France, Germany or any member nation can't dictate policy to others. Each nation has its own outside foreign policy separate of NATO. NATO members Greece and Turkey have even fought against each other whilst being part of NATO over Cyprus. The meeting notes of these negotiations spoken about in the video for which people are posting comments about are just that, they are meeting notes taken, but if its not in the treaty then it has no basis in international law, and the treaty that led to the dissolution of the USSR doesn't state anywhere about expansion being a criteria. The ukraine treaty where Ukraine gave up its nukes on the basis that if either NATO or Russia attacked Ukraine then the other side would provide support is in this separate treaty. And as NATO rules were always open door, why did Eastern European countries jump at the chance to apply to join. Because they knew what Russian rule was like under the soviet Union, whom their leader Putin wished it had never been dissolved, openly stating he wants to rebuild it, so of course in 1999 more countries applied and were after a period of tike once they met the criteria were able to join. Not every country in Europe is part of nato.

When countries engaged in a war, world leaders must gather to stop the war not promoting it.
"invading a sovereign nation cannot be justified"? Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya come to mind in recent history. How about we talk about those invasions too.
She did not have to mention those countries. Who thinks with it's own head, he got it.
We did.. guess you missed it. Bush is seen as the worst U.S. President in history. Even most Republicans hated him. Everyone knew that was a bogus invasion. Afghanistan invaded first when they blew up innocent civilians with planes. And Libya is another disgrace blamed on Obama and Hillary. In my opinion.. those 2 debacle were the reason Trump was elected. People were sick of these corrupt politicians misusing our forces and sending our sons and daughters to either die or come back so messed up.. they might as well have died. Now that we got that out of the way.. can we deal with the present?
🎯
Noone says invasion into Iraq was right. Neither mixing into Libyan war was right. Afghanistan is different category since Taliban protected and hosted Al Qaeda, whom attacke US. Maybe you remember some planes hitting into skyscrapers.
But the problem with your comment is, that one wrong doing should justify another one. It's lika saying I can commit crime since someone else is doing.
We live in 21th century and we shouldn't do the same mistakes like the generations before.
@@puclopuclik4108 You get part of the point I'm trying to make. The people who invaded Iraq & Libya (let me leave Afghanistan since you have an excuse for Afghanistan) are still alive. I think they should face war crimes and should be punished - that way, world leaders will know that they aren't above the law and can't make up frivolous reasons to go to war.
Then I want to ask you, where was the West & even Ukraine for that matter when the killings for the past 8 years were going on in Donbas?
If I were to ask you, you probably have never heard from Putin's mouth/translation of the reasons for "invading" Ukraine except what the media is parroting.
The US is aware of the Neo-Nazis in Ukraine and their killings in Donbas but did nothing.
An UTTERLY OUTSTANDING example of unbiased journalism. Perfectly sums up why I have reservations about unreservedly accepting the western narrative. My heart bleeds for the Ukrainians, but this war didn't start last week.

@@javeedravindran3096 What a load of rubbish
This is incredible biased. The phrase "Not one inch eastward" was in reference to West German military bases not moving into Eastern Germany, it had nothing to do with NATO expansion, and even that wasnt never agreed upon. It doesn't even make sense to be talking about NATO expanding to the east because in 1990 at the time everything to the east was controlled by the USSR. There wasn't anywhere eastward to expand at the time. Gorbachev himself confirmed that they never talked about NATO expanding in their meetings. The meetings were about the reunification of Germany, they had nothing to do with NATO expansion.

Just watch lectures from U of Chicago professor John Mearshimer on UA-cam. The main fault is due to GW Bush administration recklessness. Donald Trump averted the explosion by stopping arm aid to Ukraine and cut budget of NATO. Don't listen to the talking heads in Fox News blaming Biden from being soft.

The host started by "they say there two sides to every story" -- exactly.
The other side the host did not say is: A. George H. Bush may have informally promised during meetings with the head of Soviet Union but none formal agreement or treaty was reached and signed or published, like the one between China and the USA "Shanghai Communique" 1972 or later in 1979. B. Well, China the US agreed and signed document(s) with still in existence Soviet Union is no longer here. Even if there was an OFFICIAL agreement signed and published back then between the US and Soviet Union, it still does not apply to what has been going on since the Soviet Union. the country the US or NATO signed any treat or agreement no longer exit.
Ukraine and numerous other former republics of Soviet Union from far east near China and Mongolia to the West of the former Soviet Union are independent countries now. Russia did not replace the Soviet Union. The host makes it like today's Russia is yesterday's Soviet Union. Per that logic, today's China can claim Mongolia and the vast portion of today's far east territory all the way to the Pacific Sea that used to be part of the China's last Dynasty's territory. The conclusion, the host is not only missing the other side of her coin, she is stretching her coin so far that makes no sense except showing how irresponsible or low quality of this India channel is. Focus on why India supposedly a democracy has chosen to stand on the wrong side of history in its recent UN actions.

Yet WION treats the two as if they were the same which is just as rediculous as treating a member of a voluntary club as a government organization to which one is bound. .
That contrasts with a country like Russia in which there is no agreement of members but just a government which can and does have reprisals for any citizen who disagrees with the government.

The US in 1962 threatened with nuclear war when the USSR tried to bring missiles to Cuba, so why Americans think Russia should be happy with missiles at their doors as most likely would occur if Ukraine part of NATO.
US' double standards in action as usual.
Right to the point!
The US even had its own "special military operation" that was the Bay of Pigs invasion... To say they are hypocrites would be an understatement!
It’s not about NATO expansion for Pootin. It’s about his self esteem being hurt after 1991. It’s not about nukes near Russia as many many nukes surround Russia at any given point, nukes that reside in the most powerful subs in the world. Pootin wants Ukraine for natural resources. Simple.
@@RHINOTEJAS i used to think that he wants ukraine for nat resources too, but it doesn’t make sense to go through all that for those resources. besides, have you seen the size of russia? that’s like adding a few cm to an already enormous dick
America want Ukraine for their domination tactics. checkmate.@@RHINOTEJAS
Not a great explanation, a few claims that are demonstrably false.
1) "Russia disbanded the Warsaw Pact, why didn't NATO do the same?"
Russia didn't disband the Warsaw pact as part of any agreement. The Warsaw pact collapsed because it's member states left, not because Russia voluntarily disbanded it. Any NATO state is also free to leave NATO whenever they please -- you can take a wild guess why they haven't. I challenge someone to show me a treaty or agreement that was signed by the US and the USSR where the US promised to disband NATO in response to the USSR disbanding the Warsaw pact.
2) "NATO agreed to not expand an inch east if Germany joined"
This was never a formal agreement, only a proposition made. Diplomats make all sorts of propositions all the time, but laws and agreements have no force unless they're written down. Again, please show me the name of the agreement that the US signed where they promised not to expand NATO.
3) "NATO threatens Russia's strategic interests"
Four problems with this argument:
a) People who make this argument can never give an example of a "strategic interest" Russia has that would not be possible without NATO. Russia is free to trade with NATO nations, invest in NATO countries, sign agreements with NATO countries, even support political parties in NATO countries. The ONLY thing NATO forbids is military invasion.
b) Countries don't get blank passes to invade whoever they want over vague historical claims -- this is an easily accepted principle of international law. To see this easily, let's apply this argument to Nazi Germany. Nazi Germany claimed that they had "Strategic interests" and "Historical claims" in Poland, Czechoslovakia, parts of France, and Austria. Does that give Germany a free pass to invade those nations?
c) NATO only applies for DEFENSIVE wars, not offensive ones. Not only are most NATO countries not seriously capable of invading Russia, other NATO countries would not be obliged by treaty to help if a country like Norway for some reason decided to launch a war of aggression against Russia.
d) Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world and could easily annihilate any foe that tried to invade it. There is no real power that even poses a mild threat to Russia, since Russia could easily wipe that planet off the face of the Earth.
True
Yes this is the boldest report and not one of the US biased media. Much power to you miss
Ukraine wants freedom
Thank you for educating us without the drama, hysterics, and bias I've come to dread in U.S. media outlets.
Well said...V
Yes, no “drama” or “hysterics” except in the very title of this video! “Who is at fault”? WHAT A FABULOUSLY STUPID QUESTION!
@@christopherp.hitchens3902 I don't believe Christopher Hitchens would reply with caps to anything or anyone. Though, he might have the same level of disdain :D I bought some of his books. Great for critical thinking.
Yes, this video rises a very good point. Just as Hitler was provoked to self-defend by attacking Europe and killing Jewish families by the thousands in gas chambers in 1939, so is India shamelessly provoking Pakistan by having troops right on it's border. The Indian people should reconsider their provocative actions immediately and disband their military to stop threatening Pakistani security interests and avoid forcing that peaceful, innocent nation into an unwanted war. So belligerent of India, it's hard to believe, that they would not even consider the integrity of Pakistan's sphere of influence and how they disturb it. And if anyone doubts that argument he can ask Pakistan's Prime Minister - he will confirm it's all true.
@@Peter-Oak ARE YOU THINK PAKISTAN REACT LIKE RUSSIA 😂😂 , DON'T FORGET YOUR FATHER 🖕🇮🇳
Here in Africa, most of us didn't know the reason why Russia and Ukraine were in war....
Thank you so much for your articulating it.
Succinct.
Well done, thank you.
I've been speaking about this to a lot of people I know. I can't believe how simple minded most people are. There's always more than 1 side to the story and this story should be told. Everyone deserves a voice. We are better than that.
People are sheep.
This is the news I wanted to hear since the start of the war in Ukraine. Finally, I got it. Thank you.
👌👌👌
Well you certainly heard a pseudo-authoritative earful from PALKI. A specious narrative. See my reply to Yuri Popov for your edification.
@@vladh0007 it's truth and it is out there if you want to fact check.....you are just blinded and brain washed.
So you wanted to hear that NATO is at fault because they did NOT avert the war? Weren't there 10's presidential meetings between Europe leaders and Putin? There was a lot of effort to avoid what happened. It happened because Putin wanted it to happen. Stop trying to avoid reality by viewing a different biased perspective. Wion is trying to position it like this with their intentions at hand.
As if it she were correct... you have succumbed to Russian rhetoric
Well said!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💯 facts
"oh no a defensive alliance, now i cant invade my neighbours in peace :O" "i better invade the non nato european country that borders me in response"
