You opened with, "It's all our fault."
Yes, we all agree. It is.
The whole world sees the corruption.

[nextdayreptiles]

Actually Ukraine's president said the same thing.🤷‍♂️ How do you spin that one?

[EyeSmiteThee]

Yea ok. Now tell us about the USA’s legacy of bullying and perpetual for-profit wars.

[regularjoephuckit]

How could he not mention that the president of Ukraine said American media is is exaggerating and escalating tensions?

[txas]

didn't Ukraine president say that the "west" was blowing this situation out of proportion? and yet here we still all are.

[sportslife]

It's not just Putin. Ukraine is even telling the U.S. to stop trying to create panic.

[philr]

It aint our business, why the f do we even care, what about our own border crisis!!??

[millionvotesmy]

We should worry about our own borders instead.

[MEATOGRE]

For a station that was so sick of Afghanistan, you are sure getting fired up for sending our boys to Ukraine.

[stoplying]

For the first time...I believe Putin on this, U.S is looking for out, when the Stock Market crash

[mikezz]

Funny we are telling somebody they can't invade, that's all we do lol

[tonyrobinsonjr]

I wouldn't necessarily say we're trying to have a war, but we also dont seem like we're focused on de-escalating the situation.

[YutaBLv]

Imagine Putin had a NATO and established bases all around Mexico and Canada

[cyberjujo]

it couldn’t be OUR faults, we’re the angels always. 😂. Imagine China putting its strategic partners on the 🇨🇦 Canadian border, I’m sure we’d b just fine with that. USA stop blaming everyone else for our crazy politicians

[clemfandango]

Anything to distract from this disaster of an administration

[TimeWastingMachine]

This is not journalism. This is Manufacturing Consent. Read the book.

[shawngraupmann]

Not many wars have been fought in modern times without us involvement.

[dannyfisher]

Because he is right! We started the tensions there and we as the citizens of this nation have to tell our Government, enough is enough!

[ejuju]

But it is the USA 🇺🇸 fault we got the biggest budget for military but I got to pay 15K for some X-rays?!?!?

[vikalmarentes]

How would the USA react if Russia put missiles in Cuba or Venezuela?
