Newly elected Slovak President Peter Pellegrini won over voters by pro-Russian rhetoric, promising to end military aid to Ukraine -- but it's unlikely to become reality. Here's why. #ukrainenews #ukrainewar

As a Slovak, I can say I was and I am still deeply disappointed after the elections. The rhetoric our future president Pellegrini - Fico's (prime minister's) servant - used was utterly hypocritical and also unfair towards his opponent Korčok, whom Pellegrini called a "warmonger" who would send our boys to fight in Ukraine (even in the campaign leaflets). Of course, Korčok has never said it . Pellegrini lied all the time - what a disgrace!

IF you're not a bot please do some actual research. Russia invaded with closer to 190,000 directly involved troops hoping for a quick decapitation and submission. They literally had their puppet government all picked out in the convoy ready to take over. Now Russia is using over 500,000 troops from their 1.1 Million. Keeping in mind their total requires home guards, logistics, Navy personnel outside the black sea, etc, etc. Russia is literally throwing everything at this campaign except their Nuclear arms. They even called up a nation wide mobilization!! If you think their holding back then tens of thousands of dead Russian soldiers would beg to differ.

Something this video does not express well (and many discussions have also muddied) is the difference between providing goods/services *for profit* versus sending goods/services *for free*. Unless specifically prohibited, Slovakian industry is free to provide Ukraine with armament for profit. Slovakians can feel free to say they don't want to pay anyone, including their own armament industry, to do that. Those are not illogical or immoral positions to hold. It wouldn't even be hypocritical to say they don't want to pay for it, but are fine to provide the armament paid for by others. What would be hypocritical would be to say they hope Russia wins, they will stop the sale of arms, get voted in, and then just ask for a bigger cut from the armament industry. That would be hypocritical. I just still don't know if that's happened from this video.

And her is a thought .. if every neighbor you have is running to begging NATO to let them join NATO is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor?

Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2 What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway..... A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2 In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg all put together.. In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !! In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !! Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !! I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ... ---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

THE AID IS GOD FOR SLOVAKIA AND US AND EVERY OTHER ONE HELPING UKRAINE IN DEFENDING AGAINST RUSSIA RAPING UKRAINE !! THE AID TO UKRAINE IS NOT REALY FREE MONEY .. Its more like buying yourself a new cell phone and giving the old away to your kid, and claiming you gave your kid $2,000 (the price of the new phone) because he now has your old cell phone and you have the new one !!! NOW LET ME EXPLAIN The aid is not pallets of cash. It’s in the form of military equipment, assigned a value, that is donated,”. “That equipment is usually older and would be replaced in the next few years anyway, at a cost. I’m sure she doesn’t understand this.” Still, the largest bucket of overall U.S. aid committed to Ukraine - more than $46 billion, is military support in the form of equipment NOT cash !! The military equipment has been pulled directly from existing U.S. military old SURPLUS inventory that has a shelf date that soon will be past that date ; and will be needing replacement anyway this way US. gets to restock its military equipment with more newer updates versions and send the soon to by out of date to Ukraine and as a bonus US. military saves the money it will have used for destroying the old military equipment as well !! Also it is true other parts of the Aid / funding will be used to purchase new weapons and this will be sent to Ukraine; but all sales must be and will be bought from the US industrial complex industry and American manufacturers; this supports local American communities in states (over 33 states ) that produce weapon's this helps marginalized communities and sates get a solid cash influx / bust into their local economy and supports jobs within the factors that will be producing those new weapons.-. (So the money doesn't go into the pockets of Zelensky and fiends thats a myth pumped out by Russian propaganda and regurgitated by "pathetic tools" of the kremlin like Tucker Carlsen ) Members of Congress have questioned how closely the U.S. is tracking its aid to Ukraine to ensure that it is not subject to fraud or ending up in the wrong hands. The Pentagon’s inspector general told lawmakers at a hearing, that his office has found no evidence of such corruption or wrongdoing, but cautioned that investigations are only in their early stages. The Pentagon’s inspector general also informed the Members of Congress that despite claims to the contrary, the United States is not sending bags of unaccounted-for cash to Ukraine. Most US contributions go to military aid, including weapons and equipment made by American defense contractors who employ communities across the country. When the United States spends money to purchase military equipment as part of an international aid package, the materiel may go overseas, but the money and jobs stay in America. Similarly, appropriations for the US Foreign Military Financing program provide incentives for NATO allies and partners to secure US-made capabilities. This translates to more business for US companies and sustained employment for rural communities in which they operate. For instance, Lockheed Martin, maker of the HIMARS-which has been central to Ukraine’s counteroffensive-plans to increase its Camden, Arkansas facility’s workforce by 20%, and recently announced increased profit projections through the end of the year. Similarly, General Dynamics has committed to building new production facilities in Mesquite, Texas, bringing money and jobs to the region. Change like this takes place only when the Pentagon sends strong and stable market signals to the defense industry, giving it the confidence to expand and hire. In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the American people. The United States can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting American industrial output and advancing US economic interests. So like i have said; This is more like buying yourself a new cell phone and giving the old away to your kid, and claiming you gave your kid $2,000 (the price of the new phone) because he now has your old cell phone and you have the new one !!! ITS A WIN WIN !!

As country , Slovakia is not sending weapons from the army stockpile. Private ams developers keeping doing businesses. So to summarises, this video is misleading. In my opinion part of propaganda .

What happens if Ukraine loses this war ! ? 1 Russian bases will established in western Ukraine in the City of Lviv 40km away from EU and NATO country Poland , and in Uzhhorod at the border with EU NATO country Slovakia only 5km away ;and in the city of Chernivtsi 10km away from the NATO and EU Romanian border . 2 The US and NATO will have no other choice than to redeploy troops in mass scale at levels of Cold War strength ; a massive cost of resources, manpower, equipment, and money ; And the west will have a massive unstable Russian aggressive military presence on its borders . 3 The US will have to choose between where it can be sending aircraft patrols to protect EU and NATO countries this will weaken world security as US need aircraft to protect Israel from Iran and protecting Taiwan from China invasion witch US will at that point not have ; speeding it’s AirPower thin and weak ! 4 There will be a massive panic of civilians inside Ukraine 10s of millions of refugees will flood EU and the west seeking safety running away from Russian tyrannical rule and occupying forces ! A economy crises for Europa that can not survive or handle. 5 . Then Black Sea will be total under Russian control and Russia can block off and strangle all shipping triad going from east to west and west to east for EU Black Sea countries like , Bulgaria and Romania and and none EU but NATO country like Turkey and for EU and NATO friendly countries like Moldova and Georgia. 6. But if the west helps Ukrainians to defend themselves and Ukraine WINS, against Russia then EU and NATO gets a massive boost from a grateful capable military force on NATOs and EUs fare eastern borders defending them against any possible threat from Russia for the future!

This war could fuel humanities conquering of space or it will be the seeds sown so long ago of the end of our story on this rock, leaving it a radioactive waste.

Not lashing out at Russia is not being pro-Russia.
