After listening to this lady. Putin's right about West losing their mind

"WAR is a RACKET. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives." - USMC Major General Smedley Butler (1935)

Well, according to the poll, most people agree with Elon Musk.

Better talk about solutions than spread hate and fear

[jabbadabbajew]

The thing is, he’s right. Do you want to keep giving Zelensky billions?

[lukei]

Elon is not stupid. And certainly wiser than those two brainwashed commentators. 😂

[aadanaadan]

So this is a democracy, I have to agree with you otherwise you will call me names.

I don't need that kind of democracy.

[briandavis]

Peace negotiations as soon as possible is the right move. Elon is right.

This woman can talk in a long blue streak. What is the 'unified threat' or the 'common goal'? Russia might have difficulties with NATO and Ukraine for legitimate reasons? What does NATO or America want from Ukraine? The lack of 2 sides to any story is 'narcissistic' and 'attention seeking'.

[Dannyboy]

We the people of Europe will decide who we get our energy from not you America, stay out of it.

when someone has an opposing or different view from you, its easy to demonize that person and put them in a negative light. I can understand the reason for fighting for your home but I can also understand his reason for putting a stop to it. The least we can all do is at least respect other views/opinions without demonizing them.

PS: I have mentioned this same thing on other videos to pass this message because its important. Just incase anyone thinks its a bot lol.

[vivavasquez]

so irresponsible billionaire needs Russian minerals .

[Larry-fw]

Is this woman on speed? Who talks this fast??? Nonsense at lightning speed!

[nedkent]

Musk is an awful troll. By awful I mean ineffective and lame. Musk must be about to finally concede and buy Twitter. He always starts controversy before a deal does through. No I am not a fortune teller, just intelligent person!

[joshuacantrell]

I guess Elon Musk is the Arthur Neville Chamberlain of today. He seems to think appeasement will save lives. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

[TMM-N]

So when he is telling the truth, he is now attention seeker?

[frankuever]

A moment of silence for people who really believe that zelenskyy wants to save Ukraine...

[buckdashe]

Just proves that you can be a billionaire who earns his fortune through genius and be clueless about international affairs.

I think most people respect Elon Musk's efforts on space technology but his opinions on COVID, Thai cave rescues, Ukraine just sound like the naive opinions of a child.
