What an amazing, credible, and outspoken man.
An honourable person

[bradslowgrove]

As a Nuremberg crime crimes against humanity includes incitement so the making of threats of preemptive nuclear strikes is arguably a crime against humanity whether or not the threats are carried out.

[philipraeburn]

This Russian diplomat shows that not all of them are evil! This man has put his life in jeopardy for the cause of righteousness!

[woodrowbarstad]

Ms Davis and Diplomat Bondarev represent the Russians we need to embrace and I thank them for their humanity and humanity

[JohnMcPhersonStrutt]

War brings out the worst and best in people. In the case of Boris Bondarev I firmly believe it's the latter. I can only hope no harm comes to him !

You can't show fear in front of wild animals. You can't run. You have to stand there and be ready to put down with prejudice any threat to you or yours. Regardless of the nature of that threat.

Americans are more patriotic than Russians think. Hit American soil, we've got plenty of men and women who would sign the line in the instance of war. Think back to 2001, largest influx of volunteers ever. One attack on US soil brought over 180, 000 volunteers to the fight. As divided as we might seem, the American resolve is strong.

[mguarin]

I fear for this man’s life and the same for his family. What an honorable, selfless act.

[emjay]

Hope he leaves the continent. His life is danger for this from that tyrant

[spickering]

If the Russian nuclear missiles are in the same state of repair as their Tanks and ships, will they even make it off the launch pad?

[crash]

America never threatened countrys with nukes that we "invaded" when we lost in vietnam we left..we didnt nuke..russia is embarrased

[matlew]

Kudos to this man for speaking up. I wish him well in his and his families future and don't have some kind of "Accident" And he definitely doesn't sound like he's thinking about committing suicide. He must have balls of steel..

[pjhgerlach]

The more they threaten, the more weapons we should send to Ukraine because this reaction is proof that these are helping Ukraine.

[andrewjenkinson]

Someone should point out to Poo Tin that Moscow is 500 miles North East of Kyiv and the prevailing winds are from the South West. So in any nuclear attack on Ukraine the radiation will literally blow back in Moscow's face.

[johnhaxby]

we need people like this in the GOP who can call out all their destructive divisive propaganda and take their party away from Trump and Marjorie/Gaetz/Boeberts of the party

[ekoominichannel]

Other countries too have nukes Putin should know that

[ytsux]

Russia is the laughing stock of the world. Lol

[irvine]

ukrainians are some of the most courageous people i've ever heard of!

[LARDinhoFC]

This guys job is too prevent Nuclear war, him quitting is a sign that he can't do his job anymore with his boss undermining his role.
