That's very possible. The Knight's of the Poor Sister might have to FedEx Belize with a Universal Remote to hide from Russian aggression!
Base on what is reading? Hahaha. I was in Ukraine and their army needs equipment and uniforms plus boots.
Basically Russia supplies Ukraine with resources. Ukraine had agreed with Russian officials to receive aid from Russia. An agreement that cost Russia millions of dollars. The new Democratic Government has breached the contract with Russia. Declaring immunity and independence. Russian officials feel betrayed after they spend there time effort aid and money to help Ukraine. A war is at hand for betrayal. I want Russia to receive the promise of the contract by Ukraine officials. If they can not supply there promise they must pay Vladimir Putin his money in the amount of Billions he invested in Ukraine. If Ukraine can not supply either there promise or the money. I suppose we're going to shut them down. They have betrayed my friends in Russia by purchasing weapons from Russian opponents. With Vladimir Putin cash. I agree to shut them down. For betrayal and breaching the contract. I AM THE CORNER STONE AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.IF YOU CAN NOT KEEP YOUR PROMISE DO NOT PLAY Games WITH A Giant. Greedy gold diggers😂😅🤣😂😅😅ðŸ˜Â🤣😂😅😎
Russia feeling hemmed in is from them being a bad neighbor
The Ukrainians have to live there. Weapons are fine but they might not be inclined to fight. Assurances from western alliance of men would help greatly and send a message to Putin.
I HAVE FRIENDS WHO LIVES IN RUSSIA, AND ALMOST MOST OF THEM DON'T KNOW WHAT IS putin REALLY DOING WITH
THE russian ARMIES, AND THEIR SOLDIERS. NO russian TV NEWS WITHIN russia IS SHOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM or
THIS INVASION, MOST russians DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.
Leave it to ABC to give Russia a PR win by showing minutes of its military capabilities! It should have shown video of death and destruction caused by Russia in eastern Ukraine since 2014, or perhaps bodies and wreckage of passenger place shot down by Russian missiles?
nothing scared to RUSSIA
RUSSIA AND CHINA TOGETHER can Occidente put up with that
The world needs to feel how is African people feel specially European they destroy african economy
Here we go again
Could you imagine the hysteria in the media if Russia was about to invade Ukraine and North Korea were setting off missiles with Trump in office? The media is deranged – too busy trying to frame Trump and not addressing things for what they are..
Biden Compared 1/6 to 9/11 and Pearl Harbour!! That’s an unforgivable insult to all the victims and their families of these two “real†colossal events. The BLM riots are a comparison; not the two worst acts of mass murder and war on the American people that killed thousands of US civilians and servicemen/women. You realise how many people died as a result of the BLM riots? 25! Not to mention the costs to repair public property and the costs to businesses that were looted and destroyed.. That was absolutely disgusting but you fools will sweep these events under the carpet because you know the blood is on your hands. The future generations will look back on us as being corrupt and delusional. I’m so ashamed.
What else on Je Je Joe?
-the media celebrated when he lasted an hour in a media scrum.. He’s the president and these are the things people celebrate with this clown. Yes, that’s the standard!
-Compared George Floyd with Martin Luther King
-Build back better collapse
-Clearly unwell and senile
-All-time high in crime nationally. 2021 closed with most homicides ever in history
-Defund the police mess
-Evidence of him and his son doing backhand deals – not to mention the quid pro quo with Ukraine. There’s No surprise Russia sniffing around the border getting ready to invade
-vaccine mandate will be rejected by high court
-Afghanistan embarrassment – abandoning your allies like rats. The people who have stood by the US through thick and thin. What a Dog act and a representation of a coward
-Inflation is the worst in 40 years
-Can’t remember the Australian prime minister name
-Killed power Independence – fuel prices
-Ruined relations with France over submarines deal
-Russian border about irrupt into war and are likely to invade Ukraine & Kazakhstan
-he basically gave Russia the green light to invade
-The US Mexican border is a humanitarian crisis
-Covid completely unmanaged – no testing kits and new heights of infection
-Chicago education collapse
-No follow up on the origin / cause of Covid.. Who is accountable for this global mess? Too afraid of the truth Mr President?
-China about to invade Taiwan
-Sick obsession with sniffing kids hair
Sadly this president and friends have acted on trump derangement syndrome rather than the greater good for Americans and the world. It’s just sad. That 1/6 “insurrection†speech was purely political and was only meant to be divisive. This is the uniting president? No…. He’s just a joke. Literally… a joke. That was a day that some people believed in something enough to protest and it unfortunately went too far. There’s no conspiracy. So stop contaminating people’s minds with this “insurrection†rubbish.
No one takes the old man seriously, he’s dodgy and senile; meanwhile China and Russia are aggressively pushing their agendas knowing America can’t and won’t do anything about it. Biden is weak and so is America while he is in the white-house. We are watching a once “great nationâ€Â, get divided and slip down the drain. The US is no longer the force it once was and absolutely not the leader of the free world anymore. Not even your closest allies have faith anymore.
All you Trump obsessed democrats; compare Biden’s score sheet to Trump (up to now in their term) CNN can’t re-engineer those facts. Trump was a reasonable president and you will never admit that. You have become paralyzed by an evil form of Atychiphobia when Trump is around. You lose any moral compass and are willing to distort the the truth while killing a great democracy… It’s about winning power at all costs no matter if America dies.
It’s so ironic, a few years ago the dems fabricated this “Russian collusion†nonesense and completely screwed the government in doing so. Americans suffered, the country divided and Trumps term had a cloud over it, because of a baseless conspiracy made up by his political opposition. There was constant politically driven impeachment rubbish which did no one any good. Very bitter sentiments were born then and there. Now, yes now.. The Russians are actually invading other countries and Biden is turning a blind eye. Seems like Crimea during the Obama era all over again. Funny that! We all know the democrats are the real criminals but constantly use smoke and mirrors in the media to deflect their misdeeds. Look at Joe’s Ukrainian “quid pro quoâ€Â- that was actually recorded on video – he boasted about it. Or Obama’s Russian “I’ve got an election coming upâ€Â… Mind blowing stuff!
And here we are now questioning the legitimacy of the next election. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN ACCUSING TRUMP OF!!!! This is all a complete disaster and the country continues to go backward!!!
The only thing Biden has done is reverse Trump policy when they were the best things going for the US. Go figure???
How are you not embarrassed? Denial? Trump derangement?
Name one good thing this guy has done? I challenge you. It’s all backward!
Russia’s about to start WWIII and ruin every life in the world on top of lockdowns & looming climate catastrophe over a place that decided it didn’t want it anymore 2.5 generations ago.
Anybody have any questions why nobody’s ever liked Russia?
The only thing that they are going to be supplying Ukraine with is white flags. Yanokovych was not pro-Russian and the Russians did not "seize" eastern Ukraine. Eastern Ukraine is populated by ethnic Russians who did not go along with the US sponsored coup in 2014 and being ethnically cleansed by a bunch of Nazis like the Azov division
He is vastly over estimating the capacity of the Ukranian military
Sochko? You mean Sochi?
Looks like Poland needs to get their nuclear weapons program going.
an invation of Ukraine will be the biggest mistake Putin the assassin ever made.
Liberals Continue Lying/Spinning Jan 6th Capital Riots ! Hiding The Real Truth Of FBI Inoperative's Red Flag Event ! Dems Wanted And Planned This Event , More Proof Why They Declined Trumps Requests Of More Capital Police /Nat. Guard Troops Prior To This !
Biden , Doesn't Have A Clue ! Biden , Worst President In History !
Really, Can Anybody Be As Pathetic As Biden ? A Complete Embarrassment To America ! Everyone Is Laughing at Biden And The Liberal MSM Media Covering Up For Biden Daily ! Just a Joke Of A Pretend President ! 80+ Mil Votes ? Come On Man ! lol
I am amazed that the 15 billionaires which Forbes Magazine reported own US news media and control what we see are still desperately attacking President Biden for merely telling the truth. The Russians already know that if they did a minor incursion, such as merely sending more arms into the Donbass, the other members of NATA that have strong economic ties with Russia, like Germany, Austria, etc., would try to block the US from imposing severe sanctions on Russia, like cutting them from the SWIFT system.
Our allies already know that also. It is the US (with help from a few, close allies, like Poland, the UK, and Baltic countries) that has been strongly, repeatedly pressuring Germany, Austria, and other countries to sanction Russia since its initial invasion and annexation of the Crimea and now, to threaten sanctions if they invade.
Thus, the only people that the billionaires are pressuring President Biden to lie to are the American people. Unlike our former leader, President Biden is instinctively honest. That is much, much better than our prior president, apparently a pathological liar, just from the lies that I have heard.
I suspect that they are really trying to bring President Biden down because he had the courage to propose steep raises on the taxes paid by those billionaires and the trillionaire families that own the world: rises in estate taxes, rises in corporate taxes, and rises in income taxes on the ultra rich, who do not pay taxes currently due to loopholes, like the exclusion of foreign income from US taxation loophole that the billionaires and trillionaires have used to evade paying taxes for decades. Watch “Britain’s Second Empire: The Spider’s Web†which estimated that many years ago, the trillionaire families already had 55 TRILLION British pounds hidden away just in commonwealth tax shelters. Read about how Apple avoided paying $50,000,000,000 in US income taxes in Gizmodo.
3:20 Winter Olympics in Sochko. 😂😂
Blah blah blah
I do not hope for Erin Smigielski to ever die…
I hope she live's, but i hooe she develops more of a heart of God, in life.
I hope she develops and last through the age's, but i just hope she never give's any amount of false hope again.
Hope she learn's how to restrain herself from doing that.
Hope she learn's how to restrain herself from ever disgracing a man's damn life.
Glorify a man…
I got some filthy bastards speaking of me like im a goddamn fool.
Idk who it is, but i hope the hell with this of them.
just send bidens one horse pony to the front and the russians won't know what hit them
America's narcissistic national disorder
Ukraine needs and deserves all the help and support of peace loving countries. The world is watching. If Trump were in power this would NOT be happening. Time to kick Putin's ass……people unite!
Not our business
Obama said, Joe's not smart enough to be president. Guess he was right.
And our leader needs to ask the wizard for a brain

A world war… which would make for number three. Nice work guys.
It could cause a lot of damage economically and militarily,but russia may suffer most,one reason is the US and Nato airpower is simple over welming.and russia may have even far bigger problem-china.
The Caucasian race fighting each other. That's a good thing for people of color. Peace will come to the planet Earth when these people are not in power. Let them fight each other!
No one is going to have the 'luxuary' of sitting on the fence on this one…
This guy can’t correctly pronounce half the words he attempts to speak. Does this network not check the basic literacy of the people it has as guests? Worries me about the intellect of the general military command.
This guy can’t pronounce half the words he attempts. Does this network not check the literacy of its guests? Makes me worry about. US military command
Just get on with it and leave us out of your wars america
ABC news interviews man who has had gov job all his life.
Someone told they're trying to hide something: Possible Mars Colony. For all we know, the witnesses and those involved could be abducted, deep underground, cloned, place taken or dead. U.S. insiders and Putin know this. There where supposed to have a man set up to be some big timed terrorist and the scheme didn't materialize. Huge amounts of money wasted. This is why the U.S.A. nearly had a coup. The wicked powers that be created 'useful idiots' or clones to do their abductions so they won't get blamed when the clones are caught or killed. U.S. citizens trapped in Ukraine and Afghanistan in underground cities. The U.S.A. and other countries including Russia had people picked out to be the big bad terrorists to create fear for money. They literally tried to jumpstart the actions of the book of Revelations. No one knows if we're on Earth or elsewhere. All of this was said to be planned centuries ago.
Yes But the US is too scared to send actual troops .There is a reason for this .
Russia, China, and Iran are the new Axis.
This general obviously worked for the losing team
The Nuclear Rodeo~Here we Go
Putin wasn't going to stop at Crimea. He's out to restore Russia hegemony and this should put every Baltic state on notice. Join the Ukraine and resist!
Have a look at this picture,
Yahoos with trump flags, while troops are marching.
Don’t expect much help from Q, they have their freedom to worry about.
