nothing new nor particularly interesting in this broadcast, they just repeated known facts.

 

the host's impartiality though is more than questionable, he painted the war as a conflict between 2 countries rather than an aggression by Russia, creating a false equivalence of Russia with Ukraine as to who is responsible for this war, and his "bottom line" goal is bringing both countries to the negotiating table rather than ending Russia's aggression.

I reckon they could, but had no choice, the actions of a desperate regime....

Sappers ar a special breed of soldiers, but they do such important work. And I suggest to force the Russians to pay the costs of clearing Ukraine of mines (estimated at $37 billion) once this is all over. That will teach them not to invade another country again.

I am surely not supporting Russia, but according to the article, even imprecise hits making random craters would be a significant impediment.

China is the reason why there is war in Ukraine

Without China’s support, Vladimir Putin would not have been able to launch a full-scale war on Ukraine, and without China’s support he would not be able to pursue it. Far from being interested in brokering a peace deal between Moscow and Kyiv, as it seems to pretend, China knows that the continuation of Russia’s aggression and assault on the West-dominated international order is fundamentally in its interest.

Yes, very interesting indeed, that some people can believe an article written by a kid who looks like a teddy bear.

 

One thing for sure; China is indeed benefitting from the war and the longer it drags on, the more China benefits. Thank you America and Europe ????

Not sure at all. The war is not good for business and China makes most of its foreign trade with NATO countries and their allies. Of course, they are happy to annoy the U.S.  but there is a cost to it.

China only has 1 goal, HIS OWN INTEREST MONEY nothing else matter, the war is good for China they can sell ammunition, arms, tanks, planes and so forth....it's important to remember that a week or just before Vlad invaded Ukraine Vlad was in Beijing meeting Xi and the funny thing it's some time before that the US told China that Vlad intended to invade Ukraine, China knew it from all angles and yet still claim neutrality and they want to play dear makers, it's "again" on their interest as they want to be part of rebuilding Ukraine and cash in, so I do agree with you, China has been playing with the Western democracies

Another massive missile strike throughout Ukraine last night killing innocent people. There are no other words for the Russian actions other than terrorists.

if the West would provide the proper long range missiles/guns/planes/tanks allowing Ukraine to hit back... this wouldn't happen
