If the US want to de-escalate why does it send warships in the region??

[chrisperkins]

When someone says that no one has anything to gain from this, it means no one other than the defense contractors.

As a South African 🇿🇦, I will never forget the role the US government played in apartheid and I know the people of Palestine will never forgot the role the US has played in their struggle... The US has persistently sided with the oppresser.

[onlyable]

So it’s okay for Israel to escalate and no one to retaliate? Make it make sense

[chrisperkins]

How can he say they've done nothing to compromise the peace talks in the last week, while sending nuclear armed stealth bombers into the region?

[annmariedeignan]

Associated Press, why are you censoring comments?

[therealmatthewsmith]

Skip to 25 minutes 24:52 to start because nobody edits this I guess

[timtran]

Didn't answer any question. Waste of time

[annmariedeignan]

The guy who was caught with an ounce of marijuana? Wrongfully detained? Really?

[donnamcavoy]

How safe is the United States regarding sleeper cells that have come over through the open borders?

[jeannepritchard]

You didn't think Russia would attack Ukraine either well look at what happened

[Lamin_G]

It may come as a mystery, but there is an actual word for the so-called *_"diplomatic facility."_* It is called a "consulate" in the same way you can avoid referring to a car as "a mobile four-wheeler." 🙂

[Lamin_G]

Could it have been a better idea to have secured the release of another prisoner other than *Vladimir Kara-Murza, * who said that he would *return* to Russia, much in the same way Navalny did? Navalny's decision to return to a hostile home country didn't turn out well for him.

[Lamin_G]

_"So the media says a lot of things; officials say a lot of things, "_ Miller said. More importantly, Israel's *_actions_* in Iran say a lot of things. Has the old adage that "actions speak louder than words" changed?

[Lamin_G]

I suspect the Bangladeshi *people* will not decide who leads the country next. However, the media and the "opposition" politicians might try to convince them that they did.🙂

[carmenvelez]

Free Venezuela Free Puerto Rico Free Palestine from this evil empire.

[happyasthereeverwas]

Sayid needs to go home. I can't stand his questions.

[thsump]

Israel has every right to defend themselves!
