Maybe you are right sir. Too many people are dying for no good reason.

[keithshelburne]

At the least it exposes Russia's vulnerability. Paper tiger

[oluwoleolukole]

Brutal truth ! But are they listening ?

[Waverlyduli]

Russian history: subjects, never citizens, lead by kooky leaders over cliffs.

[alexportiiii]

Get rid of Putin and take America's MAGA with him

[assumity]

This war is not just a tragedy for Ukraine, but for Russia as well. Russia has inflicted immense damage on itself. And for what?

[leetolstoi]

Wasting lives of many innocent Ukrainians unnecessarily and senselessly.

[thinkerly]

Correct. Putin thought that he would conquer Ukraine in 3 days. That's why there was no Plan B. When the pincer on Kiev failed -- when the paratroopers failed to second Hostomel and the IL-76 transports could not deliver troops, when the tank column from Sikivka, Belarus on the Kiev road was slaughtered by Ukrainians slinging javellns, and when Zelenskiy did not flee after being told about the pincer, it all failed. Day 956

Now the kids of the elite are being conscripted he is toast

[Robertnoparty]

He is 100% correct. Iran is in just as bad of shape

[edwinsiala]

These people are completely delusional 😂😂😂😂😂

[indigobunting]

Oligarchs -- please stand up to Putin.

[edljnehan]

U say Russia is far from invincible😮 I think they are so far from that they would have trouble defeating my grade school Little League team.😅

[johnsullivan]

Putin thought we would just stay out of it.

[mafiooato]

Talking by people who lost war in Afghanistan against people using donkeys and bicycles.
Shut up, your plane, tanks, and technology were beating by donkeys, riders, and bicycle riders.

Oil is going to $50.
It'll be 1999 all over again.

[gaztambo]

I think the current regime are so far down the wrong path, to turn around now would be humiliating for them. Or perhaps they genuinely believe they are doing the right thing, in which case; the patients really have taken over the asylum.

[alexanderhowarth]

Sure. But these clowns can't beat them

[lockbert]

How is the war going for Ukraine and the EU?

[willdenny]

The Oligarchs better do something about Putin or they will have nothing left. REALLY !
