I'm always more than a little disappointed with the quality of translation. This man is actually far more polite, articulate, and intelligent than how the interpreter makes him sound. It's hard to catch everything he's saying over the voice over, but there are a few good examples. He starts by saying that "America is the land of democracy." In his parting salutation to Ms. Burnett, he reverses "thank you" to "you thank," which is best translated as "no, thank you." These are small details that often get lost.

You can walk through borders ya know in the forests. Some have done it and are soldiers on ukraine side. Or he could have gotten out easily through belarus

He went he did not object, no compassion.

[@objection_your_honor]

They should not only give him an asylum, they should give him $100K for defecting. That will encourage thousands to defect. When they do, you grab them and put them in prison until the war is over.

Yeah, well.. not too much contrition there about what they did to Ukraine. Mostly he talks about how difficult the circumstances were for them. Had the war gone better for the ruzzkis, he would still be there following orders. So my advice for a reward for him is: ticket back to moscow

[@gustavtarankov3899]

Ali also refused to be inducted into the armed forces, saying “I ain't got no quarrel with those Vietcong.” On June 20, 1967, It only proves that encouraging the conflict with more arms 🙅 is against good people.

Why is he not facing a judge? He abandoned his post, and took part in genocide, that shouldn't give him a pass for the crimes against Ukraine! Just saying.

Russians are allowed to visit Mexico with no problem. Sneak out of the country, hop on a flight to Turkey then to Mexico. Many Russians have done the same.

Poland already sends fighter jets to Ukraine as donation but names them as "spare parts". german government promised to send 14 Leo2 but good news is that germany have 550 Leopard2 tanks that should be sent to help Ukraine, even more germany have 140 fighter jets that should be sent to help Ukraine. Ukraine needs fighter jets and only 300 Leopard2 tanks to defend and stop russian invasion.

[@crushnevnikita8575]

thank you poland for sending your equipment to ukraine, we never have a problem with polish but now they acting like they are want to go war with russian..

[@rg-cc5kg]

Neither has Germany 500 Leopard II tanks nor do we have 140 jets to spare. I do not know where you get your numbers from. We had reduced our military numbers in a completeley irresponsible way. Rebuilding the army will take time.
