The support of the West has been pathetic and self defeating, as Yoda said “do or do not, there is no try””

US$500B Assets and Bank notes has seized from oligarchs just give to Ukraine's...

Ben Hodges is more than a former US Army officer. He is a former Lieutenant General and USAEUR commander.

Maybe Trump could give Alaska back to Putin as a sign of love to his mafia boss.

"He ( trump) has zero knowledge of war...and zero knowledge of history.." 100% correct.

[russellcroghan]

Mr Ben Hodges speaks so much military common sense.

We hold Chinese 🇨🇳 Xi Jinping accountable for damages caused by the Russian invasion
because of his *"no limits"* support for the Putin war.

I urge everyone to read up on the Budapest Memorandum, where Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons (to Russia) with the understanding that Ukraine's sovereign borders would be respected and protected. The U.S., the U.K., and Russia signed that Agreement. Putin has SPAT on that Agreement, and chose to invade Ukraine.

Ben Hodgins the voice of reason and intelligents. Keep pushing the politicians! Ukraine needs to be the example on how to win against authoritarian imperialisum. Give the world hope. Our brave young souls can't be waisted and are needed to help the world understand and change. Much like the Neanderthals we stand at a pivotal crossroads.

Trump has zero understanding of everything

[axle.australian.patriot]

Trump is the sort of person that would feed his friends to the sharks in the hope of being eaten last.

Make Russia great again - that seems to be a recurring position with Trump. Clearly, at this point it’s safe to say Putin has got some shady dirt on that guy
