Its only purpose is a nuclear early warning - unless the USA was preparing a pathway to strike. As Ukraine loses and gets desperate, things escalate - some say WW3 is closer than we think.

DeNiro is a true hero, and a legend, who speaks truth to extremely toxic power. Only someone obsessed with their Master, and his steady diet of lies, fabrications, hatred, and venom, would be offended by what this noble man has to say.

 
He's a rich, arrogant, bully millionaire liberal with a foul mouth. He should stick to acting like all his Hollywood woke genre. 

Noise pollution does affect mental health - good luck to her I'm sure it increased far beyond the 'loss' she took.

Hypocrites, it's simple - bit like Millionaire socialists or Hollywood bleeding-heart liberals like De Niro

It's not finished and your proxy war was a response to a friendly state being invaded by a definitely unfriendly state. Putin is a belligerent enemy, no two ways about it. Are you too young to recognise appeasement doesn't work?

You know as well as I do it was in response to NATO moving eastwards despite agreements that it would never do so. Ukraine broke all the agreements brokered by France and Germany. How would the USA, like Russia, moving into Cuba or Hawaii, or Mexico? Russia will NEVER be beaten - it is better to negotiate peace.

Very sorry to read that RIP but riding a bike at 13???

Yeah, Russia did because it's not a democracy, and half of Ukrainian people are living as refugees abroad, plus Ukraine's infrastructure is almost completely destroyed. Oh, by Russia, by the way. Stay in BKK bob. You'll be safer there.

Nice to see you admit Ukraine is finished - half the population is not there, you say? Infrastructure destroyed? Great - proxy USA war should be over soon. Peace at last!

Can you really imagine having an election in the Ukraine at this time?

 Yes - Russia did, as have other countries - It is called DEMOCRACY, or is that only when It suits you?

Rather a large tangent eh..........😂

You don't like the truth that everyone knows.....

A country that FEARS voting for someone else in case they are being watched and taken away.........You were saying........😁

 "everyone knows" eh?  you can't vote in Ukraine as elections are banned - opposition is banned and thousands of Ukrainians are fleeing the brutal conscription.

The end of Ukraine is fairly near and I fear the escalation more as Russia will bomb. rightly, airfields that are used against it. You are wishing for WW3 and your kids and grandkids will curse you for it (if they live).

I have been to Ukraine several times on business and I have family there.

I have also been to Russia on business.

I would not be able to count how many times.

 

Russia blatantly violated the 2014 Minsk agreements.

As well as the Budapest Memorandum, and the earlier agreements, poisoned the elected president, etc. and also violated the next Minsk II agreements.

I find it difficult to believe that if you know what happened in Ukraine you would defend the Russian position. I claim BS.

 

You can inform yourself in detail here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsk_agreements

 

don't come with "it's all Western lies" - we are all tired of your type.

I also have family in Kiev, and I worked in Russia for a UK NGO. There is no difference between Slavs, and they will come back together again one day. Ukraine blatantly destroyed the Minsk agreement, and as has been told countless times, they did it to buy themselves time for this American proxy war after the elected government was overthrown. There are no elections in Ukraine and the opposition have been locked up in jails. You wear your bias like a badge of honour - shame on you.

As long as commentators in the west preface with 'if Putin wins', they disclose how much they still believe in their own delusional propaganda. There are only two possible scenarios - Russia wins and this will come to a 'reasonable' conclusion, or we are are all fokked because nobody will survive WW lll. People that don't understand that simple fact should not participate in this conversation........

 This is it, but they don't get it - totally arrogant western hegemony

IF Ukraine breaches Russian airspace with foreign weapons, Russia has every right to hit the country that provides them. Be careful what you wish for. I expect terrible things to come which might wipe the smirks off your faces. Do you want WW3? I think you are very close to getting it.

The usual factual, very well reasoned opinion.

 I'm surprised, with respect, at your gullibility: a photo, a claim, a bias. Truth is the first casualty of war.
