    You mean the US plans for the black sea. Ukraine is a currupt country. Putin probably does have plans but so does the US. We love overthrowing countries and taking over resources. At least our uniparty politicians do…and the blind fools that vote for those same politicians. We have our own resourcess but the ruling party would rather risk starting up WWIII just to steal resources.

    That's why Israel can't replace USA as the ruling state of the world, as long there are orthodox Muslims and orthodox Christians that have nuclear weapons, yes im talking about Pakistan and Russia
    Why Israel wanna replace USA, because gogon mogogon controls Israel, just like they controlled soviet union Germany UK USA and finally Israel
    The zainist IE gogon mogogon wanna welcome antcrist there, they were planning this since the last 1000 years, you welcome 😁

    Is this dude pretending ignorance? Russia attacked military targets in the seaport where the grains will be shipped from and not the shipments. So, stop trying to play journalist. You're unqualified. It's way over your head! I suggest you do good research and try to get both sides of a story before you comment on the event in question. That's what a good journalist would do. Unfortunately, the corporate media prefers to follow the government narrative. That, my friend, is not news! That's just propaganda!

  16. @Mortico88

    I would be willing to bet that the ship that fires the missiles, didn't know about the grain agreement.

    The Ukrainians on the Black Sea coast happen to be the wrong type of Ukrainians as far as the West is concerned, the so-called Colorado Beetles whose burnings at the hands of outsiders in Odessa was celebrated by the Kiev regime and by the West. These types of Ukrainians are suppoosed not to have any say, but to hear and obey, and are deemed to be traitors. Russia has suggested that it is their duty to liberate them from a regime that deems them to be insects.

    Putin's a fool. He has signed his country's death warrant for decades to come.

    That being said, Russian / NATO tension points are a non sequitur at this point. Russia has proven to the whole of the world that NATO is an absolute necessity. They don't gotta like it.

    As a native speaker of Russian and as a teacher of English I dare make a critical linguistic comment. The the presenter repeatedly mispronounces the name of the Ukrainian city of Kherson and in his version it sounds like a completely different city- Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan in central Russia

    NATO's aim, destroy Russian economy and secure its energy sources. Russia turned the tables on Collective West not only in energy but also in food security. Double Whammy for Collective West due to poor reading of Russian capabilities not intent. Russian intent was being announced from rooftops since year 2014 but Collective West disregarded it.

    The border war between Russia & Ukraine is getting worse. Other borders are getting tensed, too. Like Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Alaska, etc. Each does not want to give in Russia's demand. Unfortunately, Russia does not posses a good reputation among democratic countries. She is copying Hitler before. Hitler annexed Austria, Sudetenland in Czechoslavakia & Poland(half of her). The other half, Russia. Hitler, claiming to protect German-speaking citizens. The same thing happens today. Russia claiming the same thing plus to protect Russian-speaking people from GENOCIDE by Ukrainians. Russia is in control of Donbass region since about 2014. How can that be? Unbelievable! She sent troops to then East Germany, Hungary & Czechoslovakia before to prevent them from leaving Warsaw Pact military alliance of communists, then. She annexed Abkhazia, South Ossetia in Georgia and subjugated Chechneya, in 2000,s. And now, she annexed Crimea & Luhansk, Dohansk, in Donbass region of Ukraine in the pretext of people's choice. Her action violates Budapest Memorandum in 1994 & Minsk Agreement in 2007 of which Russia is a signatory. "Old habit is really hard to die." If Russia fears of NATO aggression for preventing Ukraine in joining it. But, why Poland, Latvia, Estonia, etc.(have long been NATO members) not attack Russia? Did they invade Russia? They didn't. US did not stop France when she left NATO before(France has withdrawn from NATO in 1966). Sweden & Finland are not yet NATO members but, now siding w/ the West against Russia. Switzerland, known for it's neutrality, has also imposed sanctions to Russia. Austria, is now thinking of joining, too. US, on the contrary, didn't use force against Cuba & Venezuela when they sided w/ Russia. It's their right as a sovereign country to do so. Moreover, US entered war into many countries to protect its existence, ideology, to hunt down criminals, to arrest drug dealers, fight invaders & to stop terrrorism but, she didn't annex an inch of their land. But, Russia is doing the opposite. She took a land, a part of Finland, a part of Germany(then, called Konisberg, now, Kaliningrad and half of Sakhalin & Kurile islands of Japan(two days after atomic bomb was dropped & declared war on Japan at the same time). Russia knew Japan was on its knees, then. Japan cannot defend, even its mainland against Americans, then. Clearly, she took advantage of the situation.

    Given that Ukraine is successfully fighting the Russian Navy without even using ships, Russia is far away from being any sort of relevant naval power. At the end of this war the Russian Navy will be on par with Austria‘s 🙂

    It is reported that nuclear missiles on submarines in Norway can destroy most of Russia in less than 30 minutes? 10 other countries will be dropping nukes on Russia at the same time. Almost all of Russia's missiles will be destroyed in the air. All this craziness that Putin will use nukes. He is not that stupid. Why all these ridiculous journalist reports that Putin will use nukes? Not happening.

    at 8:28 – that's a plain ignorance. why does everyone keeps repeating that shtick? While most of the russian arctic shore is icebound nearly year round, and pretty much uninhabited, the main russian port on the arctic – the port of Murmansk (and neighbouring ports), located close to the border of norway – never freezes! Seems counterintuitive, but it is all due to gulf stream, just like iceland which is in a similar climate. Why do people who position themselves as 'experts' just keep spouting this nonsense about russia not having warm-water ports other than the black sea without bothering to look up wikipedia page which takes 5 minutes of time, is beyond me. Seriously, answer me.
