No, that's your issue, you would rather talk about Biden's health than any of the pressing concerns of the war in Europe. Ok then, come back to us when you are serious about this war. Downvoting this video.

[@mrandersson2009]

Agreed but, the slow/incremental approach to defeating Russia is not wrong. If you go in too strong, it allows Putin to convince his generals to trigger a nuclear strike. The longer the grind goes the weaker Putin gets and at some point they will collapse or retreat. The important part is to maximize the attrition on all fronts in Russia: military, economic and political

Every step of the way....democracy loose!

[@evaleyst]

Times: You got the headline wrong. It should be "Biden rocks crucial Nato summit over questions of mental fitness".

[@poolside2585]

America needs a president like Biden who does the work, who protects democracy, not someone who whines like child all the time, plays golf and commits crimes.

[@user-mz3in7vo5b]

Trump still president, he never resigned. US has been defeated by Russian propaganda...

[@Rtg5637]

He does none of that. He is barely alive between 10 and 4 and after that absent from presidency.

[@charleslefurge8696]

Sure let a vegetable run the US and NATO. Good grief.

[@mattmcewan2550]

Like Biden, agreed. The reality is he is too old for another 4 years. The optics have been seared into our brains. Trump will win.

[@rags73]

Is trump mentally fit to run

[@leosiwicki2013]

No

[@ginaferreira9399]

B.S

[@nicklasaxelsson71]

Professor Biden need to steep down.

[@W_Bin]

Does Volker have a presidential candidate who is better than Biden? Oh, no, he just wants to get rid of Biden.

[@intheframemedia]

oh nooo did they just realise?

[@s0ycapitan]

Bunch of lefty liars, so filled with hate for Trump, were happy to install a geriatric puppet who has brought us to the edge of WW3.

[@PROJECTPOGO]

Not joe biden Not elected Not president Not even alive Not human Not a chance Gone since jan 2020 You're watching a movie NCSWIC NOTHING 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@pade1365]

To little to late😢

[@user-sm9jy2jm1i]

"Too." For both instances, elementary stuff.

[@ivancho5854]

NATO "He's how old?!?!" 🤯

[@Rtg5637]

It's idiotic to send NATO troops to Ukraine when they themselves do far less than they should

[@JosephStealin]

2:50 basically we lied about our escalation

[@OAlem]

Changing your mind is not lying. Adults who are not liars themselves can tell the difference.

[@JosephStealin]

@@OAlem they didn’t change their mind. They escalated incrementally so they could gauge the Russian response. They always intended to send as many tanks, aircraft bombs and bullets as it takes. They just lied about it. They’ve lied the whole way through. They have said we won’t send troops but they fully intend to send your sons and daughters to die in a bog in Ukraine if that’s what it takes.

[@cindybraun371]

Propaganda much, times news, click bait. A person in office 2008 or 2009..

[@MelbaOzzie]

In other words, the meeting in Washington confirms the total uselessness of NATO.

[@s0ycapitan]

These big Globalist meetings are starting to really annoy me. It's all show. They parade a bunch of empty suits, supposedly representing the people from their tiny powerless states, to present the image of a grand coalition.

[@ruiferreira6578]

No, dear commerad...

[@colin8877]

BORING

[@AndrewAshling]

Really, Mr Volker? You're jumping on the Maga-Putin wagon of Biden is too old? Shame on you.

[@JosephStealin]

8:22 the whole reason for the war is Ukraines membership of NATO

[@OAlem]

It's because Putin fancies himself Peter The Great. He said it himself many times. Small Man Syndrome, a Napoleon complex.

[@ruiferreira6578]

That's a senseless affirmation

[@JosephStealin]

@@OAlem Russia just won’t tolerate an American military alliance on their borders, just as we wouldn’t tolerate a Russian military alliance on our borders. It’s as simple as that.

[@OAlem]

@@JosephStealin He NEVER mentioned NATO in his interview with Tucker Carlson. He made an argument based on ancient borders. It's as simple as that.

[@JosephStealin]

@@OAlem he has stated it many times. (There are way more interviews than the Tucker one 😂) Russia see the expansion of NATO as a threat. Why wouldn’t they? Do you think the Russians trust the Americans? If the Russians were inviting American’s neighbours in to military alliance you think they would just let it happen?

[@flamboyentpromotions3471]

He kinda gave it away when he said we're far stronger than Russia, thats why Nato thought they could bully Russia by expanding without Russia doing anything. He made alot of questionable statements which went unchallenged an quite frankly i can see why he was only ambassador for 1 year smh

[@OAlem]

Name one questionable statement.
