Putin is winning the public relations conversation by shifting focus to NATO: Former U.S. ambassador

Michael McFaul, former U.S. ambassador to Russia, says President Vladimir Putin has "changed the channel" in the Ukraine crisis by focusing on the "alleged" threat that NATO expansion poses to European security, when the "real" threat is Russian belligerency.

[junaidvally]

These So Called Experts Never Understood The Issues & What They Are

[mushaanbanks]

The world has forgotten the horrific moments in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and the proxy wars all over the globe. All everyone wants to remember is malaysia 17.

[eymeeraosaka]

Yes I know about Malaysia Airline flight MH17 that was shot down over Ukraine. But how sure are you that it was shot down by the Russian? Regardless, it was the fault of the Ukrainian government because it should had stopped all commercial flight over its air-space because it was a war zone.

This ex ambassador cannot say more lies in such a short time!

[Love.life.ashigzoya]

What ground does NATO have to exist at all ? Warsaw Pact wound up NATO should have dissolves simultaneously.

[reiolite]

What does all this have to do with America politics?

[ryanangel]

That's why it called mainstream media. 😂 Steering viewers 😂

[zibrom]

Agreed! All that drama about NATO is a cover up for something else.

[robbebrecx]

I hope you Americans have been thinking harder than this, i live in Europe and what does a flight that has been shot down a couple of years ago have to do with European security.

If you take the position as the loser you can't lose because you could never win.

[pkwong]

NATO stands for "Talk Only. No Action."

[Diwana]

The clock is ticking ⏰⏰⏰ the nuclear clock.

[serbtesla]

And where in the hell is Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, who is talking about that?

THANK YOU Germany 🇩🇪
U, Crane, please live up to your name if you want to and as you were left to stand out among the big Roosters Family. Be the crane, and if not, you are still a Rooster, a bird. Stand for yourself, on your own feet, just do not go among the hyenas, you don't belong to the pack. You can only be a bait to set up a fire and if lucky just get plucked bare or worse, get completely roasted as a meal if you keep placing yourself on the hot spot between two powers. Wake up, U Crane. If the Nato would not advance the Russian would not move the troops to the border either. This is ALL UNNECESSARY.
The Pudding is planning on Rooster family's economic prosperity and has no interest in envading anywhere but was manipulated to be looked like one. Why not catch up with the plan and get rid of poverty first. Your people are crying for economic prosperity rather than stinky Military TREATY.
In Ukraine's name...
I am a nobody and knows nothing. I just happen to live on the 🌎. it appears to me, like a whole group of gangsters are gathering in someone's house fully armed and packed with ammunition and explosives provoking the neighbor: I DARE YOU.
It's all unnecessary.
WHO GIVES AN ACTUAL 'F' TO UKRAINE 🇺🇦 YET IT'S ALL IN UKRAINE'S NAME. Ukraine is continuing and getting worse with poverty and being the poorest country in Europe with the most productive soil
Wake up, Ukraine. And you gangsters, get out of others' house together with all the explosives. Instead of contributing, it's a shame you can only deploit and continue depleting all the accumulated "#1 blessings" you inherited from your precedessers, assuming others who once broke down in history have stolen all the decency and dignity. Nope, decency and dignity can only be thrown away by who had it, could never be stolen from. Or continue what you are doing and become a complete loser quicker than you notice🧐
You can do better and get better stuff to do.
I am a resident of the earth 🌎. I have known all the people who always want to live in a nice and nicer community with nice neighbors. All the neighbors on the earth 🌎 are neighbors. Please welcome and embrace those who once broken down but manage to pick up decency and dignity again, and you're not throwing it away. After all it's all about the "value of the estate" as a whole on the earth 🌎. Don't make any alien culture, if there's any, who knows, deem you human are an unfit, even insult to the planet earth 🌍
Salute to the planet 🌏.
At the mean while Ukraine, if you are to be left alone, you are going to be left alone, please, I don't know HOW, but I heard you were just able to make the most productive soil the most corrupted. Is it because the sun doesn't shine on Ukraine so it becomes a shame, nope I don't think so. The sun is always up high for all the nations.
Ukraine you don't need any treaty, you need to get rid of poverty, get down to productivity.
No nations should need any military treaty. The world I and II are already a humongous SHAME on humans. So far, none of any creatures every walked upon the earth have ever actively released so much NEGATIVE ENERGY into Mother nature. It is forgivable and far more than enough to be dumb for once BUT PLEASE LEARN FROM IT.
Get down to real business. If any of you really care about Ukraine,   help Ukraine with productivity,   otherwise please at least pack all the "potential NEGATIVE ENERGY" together with you and get the "F" out of Ukraine, for God's sake. Leave the Crane alone, let see if we are lucky enough to witness how one from the Rooster family live up to it's name U the Crane🧐
