Kind of funny how our government wants a cease fire deal so bad for Israel and hamas but never suggested one for Russia and Ukraine, in fact the usa and the uk boths advised Ukraine against a cease fire

[maxfalconi]

I don't think Mr Putin gives a rat's ass about Mr. Kirby

[beautifulseattle]

Kirby is just another warmonger too. Pot calling the kettle black.

[dmitryletov]

How come military academy in Poltava could be a civilian object?

[shreder]

But it's okay for Israel to do it?

[Quantum-Omega]

Fun fact: if Trump were still in power this situation wouldn't be happening.

[piotrwroblewski]

War could be stopped by sending a real diplomat, not a ammo

[househomeplus]

President Putin... Ukraine is a disaster for America... ministers resignation everywhere

[mlj]

Putin is despicable, Kirby, have you looked in the mirror lately?

[leojmullins]

How many questions were asked about Ukraine shelling and killing 15, 000 civilians for the last 12 years.

[ashokagarwal]

[jeremiasfronda]

Not only civilians infrastructures but also caused death of innocent civilians and children.

[danhosking]

When Ukraine used drones disguised at civilian aircraft to strike a Russian drone factory, that was considered perfectly acceptable and seen as a massive win in Western eyes

[jmack]

I like how he waves his hands, like he is using logic reasoning and understanding, and we should all be grasping it

[herlemaggard]

This guy's a puppet at best, why waste our time??

[ReynoldTay-uv]

If i were Putin, this dude would have been in the graveyard 2 years ago
