Blame politicians such as Marjorie Taylor Greene and other MAGA Republicans.

[@dufreversi42]

Russia is making a mockery of NATO and US. Whenever some help comes, Russia says something and NATO play into the hands of the enemy obediently. This allows the enemy to train and ramp up production, as they planned. "Vast amount of ammunition, vast amount of ...". More vast amounts but things are not moving. One thing missing are the quality of Ukraine soldiers who are volunteers who are lost KIA due to the long wait.. I think this is why. Now more of Ukraine conscripts and the earlier offensive brigades are as good as destroyed by now.. Isnt the reason why aid is given is to get ahead of the enemy? And not wait for the enemy to react and worst, learn from you. The longer this waits the more Russia gets stronger . This is becoming a training school to Russia. And who is the trainer? NATO.

[@peterhelpeterluena9191]

Funny people. Just go and try Russia, which was not organized from the beginning, and see what will happen to warmoner NATO

[@TribunalTroubles]

this guy never enter in a real fight but know everything about it

Zelenski always said. "we will fight until the last Ukrainian"...and thats exactly why Zelenski should have been removed from power 18 months ago because to fight a war to the last person standing is not logical

[@Alphamind123]

Why is Putin begging in china?

[@felixf.3392]

What is the situation at the moment? The Ukrainian troops are far too few in number and are worn out at the front and are therefore losing more and more combat power. Now Zelensky has passed the law far too late, which could potentially lead to more conscription. There are now two options. Either the newly conscripted troops are given a crash course for a few days and sent to the front as cannon fodder. This would relieve the strain on the worn-out troops but would lead to high losses for the poorly trained new troops. Or the newly conscripted troops are properly trained in the hinterland for months. This means that the worn-out troops have to continue fighting at the front for longer and are therefore further worn out. So things are not looking good for Ukraine because they were not able to mobilize enough people in time to defend the country. And the question is how motivated the new conscripts are who have been doing without for two years.

[@dufreversi42]

NATO is slowly teaching Russia how to fight. When Russia does not know how to handle Himars, more should have done at that point to stop this nonsense once and for all. Now Russia has learn much more of the secret technology that NATO will use in actual confrontation. When real conflict occurs between NATO and the axis of evil, NATO will find it tough going because of this. They drag too long to stop the Ukraine war.

Until the last Ukrainian, they are useful idiots.

[@Rusbomb21]

Never support NATO. 👎🏻

[@felixf.3392]

Does it still make sense for the US to maintain NATO if it takes its national interests into account? Countries in Western Europe like Germany pursue a mercantilist economic model. To do this, they are dependent on cheap energy from Russia and large export markets like China. The USA is currently "protecting" Germany with thousands of soldiers, a nuclear shield and hundreds of military bases. The resulting political influence that the USA has on Germany has not been able to prevent economic relations with China from becoming even more intense in recent weeks. In my opinion, Chancellor Scholz's trip to China in April was a clear sign that Germany is not prepared to cut its economic ties with China. And given this reality, the USA will sooner or later give up its military involvement in Europe.

[@GabeT-eo3pm]

Well said.

[@ro-ot.]

Yes well said. From a more macro perspective though, is it not in your interest to help maintain and protect democracy? To keep your dollar strong and not replaced by the Chinese as the global currency? Russia has indicated they want their country to reach the Mx border. Which means no Canada/USA?

[@felixf.3392]

@@ro-ot. In my opinion, Russia is not an existential threat to Western Europe. It simply does not have the military and political influence for that. If the US withdraws from Europe, Putin may be able to get the Baltic states and Poland to become neutral due to the changed balance of power. But that's all. Russia will try to expand its influence in Asia and perhaps become something like the weapons factory for the "global south". And I cannot judge whether or how a military defeat of Ukraine will affect the US dollar. But I have the impression that if this conflict posed an existential threat to the US, the United States would have intervened militarily long ago.

[@peterhelpeterluena9191]

​@@felixf.3392militarily U. S will be defeated as they have never won any war in this world. So do not deceive yourself. Even if they start a war today with even Iran, U. S as U. S, it will never win.

[@vasilemarcoros443]

They will do the same like in Iraq, Afghanistan etc. They get involved, they kill a lot of people, when they can't spend more money, they let down everything and everyone. Typical Yankees technic.

[@Vincentdixon4060]

[@geridayao8924]

[@unsalbulent]

Russian troops were not ousted by Ukraine in 2022. The Russians themselves withdrew from Ukraine near Kharkov and Kiev, after there were agreements in Turkey. But Ukrainians have abandoned Russia and the West

You talking talking talking, and Ukrainians and Russians are dying everyday. At least Russia had no choice, going in or not, its existence was threatened. But for Zelensky to allow his nation to be used by Nato is a crime for which he will never be forgiven. These two guys look clueless about whats happening on the ground, or they are being lied to, or have personal interests in the suffering of Ukrainians

[@AndyKos]

So, Russia keeps losing, or Russia keeps winning? I didn't get it.

[@ademirrodriguez4209]

Ukraine it’s winning but they will lose the war 🤣

[@rogerray8509]

Ukraine NATO and the West are all losing. One country little old Russia standing alone by itself taking on the whole world and winning

[@marisabenson1222]

Words are cheap and fly like shredded treaties and conventions in the air. One man has shown the weakness of these laws, treaties and agreements through the use of force aided by the weakness of every other country to hold him accountable. Russia has always had the weapons it threatens to use. Action is what is required. There are many non military things that can be done. Everyone must be in the same page. Why can't Russian frizen assets be used? The interest at least. Scholtz is an extremely disappointing leader for Germany at this point in time.

[@TonyM540]

The interest is being used.

[@blindkid3692]

All their doing is having meetings and conferences while Ukraine is being shelled. At what point will anybody actually do something

[@user-lr1nr8jp8p]

What do you expect them to do? There's no way they can fight Russia and win unless if they want a nuclear war.

[@diegoflores9237]

Biden, the leader of nato, has repeatedly said the USA will not fight Russia directly. I don't understand why people can't get that through their thick skull. The USA fighting Russia is a nuclear war

[@mbradea]

Russia will not fight a nuclear war - it is suicidal for them. It’s just the fear of a nuclear war that has the intended effect of holding scared NATO away. Yes NATO should storm Russia (on the inland preferably) while simultaneously setting out the condition for the end of the war to go back to the 2014 borders and accept that this was a massive mistake which they will need decades to recover from. If they had the courage required this war would have long been over. Russia will stop fighting the moment there are foreign troops on its own lands and it gets a taste of what is at stake.

[@marisabenson1222]

[@uresosweet]

4 Stars to command. As far as NATO using Ukraine as a testing ground? Your statement implies that NATO is somehow not DEEPLY concerned with there own security AND Ukrainian all at once. This is far more complicated than a simple, "if you have a problem with Russia go and fight with them." That literally makes no sense. You meant, "you have a problem with Russia, go and fight them." We are!!!

[@Ptolemy38]

[@WechaiMoua-ww3jw]

Why the US keep delaying of weapons supply to Ukraine to destroy Russian troops that keep striking Ukraine for further more? Ukraine should never running out weapons such as 155 mm shells, grenades, air defense systems, tank destroyer missiles, armored vehicles, tanks and supplies, if the US and NATO are seriously to protect Ukraine from Russian further striking Ukraine deeper to its territories. Financials are also very serious for it to operate the military to stronger to exterminate Russian troops out of its territories.

[@uresosweet]

They are from planet Earth. One of these guys is a genius. Just listen closer. Deputy to Jans Stoltenberg. The 1st question posed had nothing to do with China and Russia meeting. Pay attention to the last sentence. They were not born yesterday. The complications and challenges involved with Democracies requires deliberation. You don't just snap your fingers and results appear. I think it would be in your interest to tell us what you believe "the facts" are. What do you think they are. Do you know anything???? No. They do. Why do you watch and then complain? It's KZbin. If you don't like it, and you've made a statement that suggests you have more information than NATO, speak up. Listen to the first question. Did it have any words regarding Xi and Putin? No. But the response included and concluded with that as the wink wink moment.

[@Ptolemy38]

Russia is stronger. Seems...and their weapons. Are. Better
