I am not an expert on politics, but I see a massive destruction in humanity. Greed will bring us to chaos. I believe that world war 3 is on the making. Sad that we have to live fighting one another. 🌎 We all in this boat together, don't rock the

Fareed Zakaria's commentary highlights the sobering reality that US aid to Ukraine isn't merely a matter of geopolitics but a lifeline for a nation facing existential threats.

Being generally anti war I want to be against it, but a Nations survival is at stake. People are being brutally murdered. This is not a Civil Unrest but an attack from a neighbor. It is the type of War I can get behind. Failure to help save Ukraine will lead to many more problems. This is more than a regional conflict. I support Ukraine, and want tax dollars to insure the safety and freedom to think for these people.

No more selfish haters and liars in any political office 😠

Can you people imagine the outlook from a European perspective? The denial of election results and everything else, now this holding back of critical funding for Ukraine. The USA is in big trouble because somehow the checks and balances do not function. The EU certainly has it's own problems but this is fundamental flaws in democracy right here.

Write your congressperson. It takes 218 votes to pass a discharge petition to enable a vote on the Bill to support Ukraine. Don’t let anyone play politics on this issue. We need to support Ukraine now.

My grandfather was from Odessa and I have several Ukrainian friends who are exiled in the UK. This whole situation makes me so sad and sick to my stomach. 😢 To top this off, I am an American living in the UK…I am ashamed.

Always a good sign when you attract a lot of trolls. It means they're afraid you're too effective.

[thomasmills]

The USA should hold its head in shame after promising to support Ukraine and now slow walking it to DEFEAT 😢

The aid to Ukraine is spent here with defense contractors providing jobs for Americans.

I think that Netanyahu and Hamas have similar motivations. In order to keep power they have to maintain conflict. Both the Palestinian and the Israelis would be better off without them.

On another subject, we need to see more Fareed. He always provides information and perspectives we don't get from anyone else.

[kamtongchung]

If US cannot provide the aids, let the G7 to share the amount among themselves to aid Ukraine .Ukraine is in Europe not US.

[melissabruhn]

Majority of Americqns stand for democracy and stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

"Moscow Marjorie is focused now on the Ukraine issue and getting talking points from the Kremlin. Making sure she's popular and getting a lot of coverage"

"We don't recognize land taken by force." That was a good one.

[michaelreha]

What I don’t understand about US politics is how one guy, Trump, who is not elected and who has no role in gouvernement can just block aid to Ukraine? Makes no sense!!!

[MKelly-]

Best explanation I’ve heard about the situation in Gaza. Thank you Fareed!

[JamesSmith-jevf]

7:12 How nice to offer someone land that does not belong to you.

[VoltageLP]

It is too late for aid right now, it should've been given years ago, and because it wasn't, Ukraine now needs boots on the ground

[normanlaxton]

Marvelous interview ... Until your App ad... It's absolutely disgusting!
