USA is the GREATEST threat to the world. USA initiated 80% of wars after the Second World War, that led to humanitarian
disasters:
1950 – invasion of Korea,
1958 – intervention in Lebanon,
1959 – participation in the war in Laos,
1964 – invasion of Vietnam,
1965-occupation of the Dominican
Republic,
1967 – participation in the war in Cambodia, 1977-participation in the war in El
Salvador, 1980 – participation in the war in Iran,
1982 – invasion of Lebanon, 1983 – invasion of Grenada,
1986-first invasion of Libya,
1989-invasion of Panama, 1991 – Gulf War,
1992 – invasion of Somalia,
1992-bombing of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
1994-intervention in Haiti, 1999- invasion of Yugoslavia (Kosovo),
2001-invasion of Afghanistan,
2003- invasion of Liberia,
2003 – invasion of Iraq (under false
pretenses)
2004 – participation in the war in Pakistan,
2011 second invasion of Libya,
2015-missile strikes in Yemen,
2015 – military operation in Cameroon, 2015 – and again Libya, another
intervention.
USA is the REAL THREAT. USA aged politicians, who's mentally anchored in XX-th century "cold war", continue aggressive politics, making Russia, China, Middle East, and Ocean region countries enemies instead PARTNERS.

only 40000 Ukrainian troops in the Donbas area? I would think they are much more than that by now. If the Russians can reposition, so can the Ukrainians, keep the safer areas for training and under territorial defense troops and reposition crack troops in the south. With repositioned troops and all reservists being recalled, and new units formed, I think even 70000 Russians will have a very tough time ahead of them

First of all this video is just about assumptions and speculations. Why is everyone pushing this false story that Ukraine is winning? Russian troops are still in Ukraine and the Ukrainian army is hiding. There is a reason why the Russian military is the 2nd most powerful in the world. The Ukrainian president is an evil woke dude and he's the reason why the people of Ukraine is now suffering and will always suffer. The western countries will make Ukraine extremely poor by hijacking all of their natural resources. Thats what its all about. E.U, nato= evil.

There needs to be a 'Putin Watch' put in place.
A reputable agency needs to verify that Putin has been seen on a daily basis.
Verification shall consist of seeing, hearing live, talking to, or actual physical contact.
A time and date MUST be included in the daily documentation.
As we approach May Day, multiple daily documentations may be required.

There are reports in the Polish press that Russian military is now forcing citizens from Donbass into the military. They're literally picking up people off the street. The reports say that men are hiding not to be forced into the army. So far they forced students and apparently patients from a psychiatry ward to dig trenches. Not sure how reliable it is but we will find out pretty quickly.
