      Actually, if we (the West) should have been stronger 10 years ago. Today's calamity can be traced to our weakness 10 years ago. Georgians might even argue we can look further back than that. We have showed weakness, and Putin has jumped on that weakness, as all imperialists do.

    The fact of the matter is Ukraine is not allowed to focus its expensive weaponry on Russian forces staging up in Russia just across the Ukrainian border. If they could have permission to strike these buildups of troops and equipment they can gain the upper hand in taking back territory. Why allow your enemy into your territory if you can stop them in their own? America needs to lift restrictions on how Ukraine can use the weapons we provide. When the US and NATO understand this and allow Ukraine to do what it needs to win and not just what it needs to survive then it will cost less Ukrainian lives,less taxpayers dollars,less means to have to keep supplying Ukraine with weapons just to stay in the fighy. Lets give them the weapons to win the fight and not place restrictions on them it costs less lives and money i mean its simple common sense

    The model is Finland during WWII. They were ~5m against ~240m, and yet they gave the Russians a very bloody nose such the Russians never again messed with the Finns. Granted, the Finns had the advantage of terrain. But the Ukrainians are today much more powerful than the Finns were then, and Russia no longer has the USSR resources to draw upon. And a big part of those USSR resources were coming from.... UKRAINE!

      I admit Finland did not win. It lost Karelia and had to pay off Russia. My point is that it gave Russia a bloody nose such that Russia preferred a negotiated peace on favorable terms rather than continue fighting. Russia thus failed to win against a puny but pugnacious opponents it outnumbered 50 to 1. In this respect, my view is that Russia, at 'only' 4 to 1 against a determined and inventive Ukraine, is bound to lose.
      And my basic point still stands: Russia never messed with Finland thereafter. So, I expect, will it be with Ukraine.

    War and disharmony and hatred and associated violence and death and most especially orphaned children too, and hunger and homelessness and so forth is all absolutely terrible. Unfortunately, due to human disharmony and greed and all that type of thing, much of what relates to collective human ignorance and disregard of good care for long term strategy , is unavoidable right now in this present moment . Because, it requires insight of care for long term strategy toward peace and harmony and goodwill and most of all honest love for oneself and for all others. These things cannot be brought into practice overnight , sadly.Its unlikely to happen like that. And so right now everyone needs to hurry up and prepare for the worst, while also making honest attempt to try to find better ways from now on, to plan for a FAR better future at the same time too.
    We more or less ALL didn't care to learn well enough from the past. Did we?. While we might decide to split hairs with pointless argument over who had cared, and who had not,which would be basically based on pride and negative self righteousness and whatever else, i suspect there might be far more to be gained, FOR US ALL,from learning to finally set aside that type of negative approach, for once and for all from here on out. And unless we would, then i doubt there'd be much hope for future generation's of children. Not only just for securing the future of other peoples children either.
    I suspect if we were able to all be completely honest with ourselves we might need to admit we all might have been able to change something about ourselves of which perhaps might have been more helpful in quality of social relationship within scope of our deep interconnection as humanity. Everything, even climate, and important matters such as fish resources and all kind of matters like this, today are now turning out to be like "natural pointers" what should remind everyone now that in fact nobody can realistically claim to truly be like an island unto themselves.
    That terribly misguided idea is presently seemingly blowing itself to smithereens
    If NATO is built to FINALLY be even way more powerful, in mind for potential use in properly decent intention based on good rather than evil & greed, then its about time that intention for military power would be understood to have "most highest potential" for peace and harmony, in relation to long term strategy, only when above all that kind of extreme power would first of all be about extending an olive branch, with honest intention to attempt to turn absolutely all people into "our" allies, above all else. So that warfare might only ever then be like the absolute last resort being used when all else fails

      @@johntowers1213 neither one. That’s the problem with media. Neutral stances or opinions don’t get clicks. Russia doesn’t have a military that can march across Europe or even remotely challenge NATO and Ukraine isn’t strong enough to militarily defeat Russia and liberate all of its territory pre 2014. A ceasefire needs to be seriously considered sooner or later.

Meanwhile; tens of thousands of Russian troops are storming across the border at this writing towards Ukraine's 2nd largest city with one supposes only wanting to go to the city's limits before turning back...

      If you think that you will ever get to learn anything about 'the Russian mindset' from this channel then you will only ever remain in total ignorance. For your information Russia has no intention of taking Kharkiv, and their plans do not involve the taking of Kharkiv.
