How are those North Korean soldiers NOT an ESCALATION?!?!?!

[donelson]

REMEMBER! When Ukraine gave up it's own nuclear missiles to Russia in the 1990s, it was in return for a GUARANTEE THAT RUSSIA WOULD RESPECT UKRAINE SOVEREIGNTY. "The Budapest Agreement"

[henryread]

How about direct North Korean and Iranian involvement? How about Russia attacking a sovereign nation? All is ok for Russia. Anyone else, not so. One way street.

[albertlucia]

Anything that bothers Putin is an "escalation"

[PeterLawton]

When journalists discuss long range missiles from Ukraine to Russia, they ought to include clear references like, "Ukraine may now do what Russia has already been doing to Ukraine" -- point out that Russia whines about getting what they've been giving.

[herman]

I don't see a problem here. Russia has been firing long range missiles into Ukraine for more than a year. Now that Ukraine can do the same all of the sudden it's a problem.

[ladipoolajide]

Double standards, North Korean Troops deployed in Ukraine and Kursk region to fight for Russia, that's the first escalation (more than 10, 000 troops

[mtam]

What ever Russia does is not a redline, but if Ukraine adjust their capabilities that is a redline, I cannot understand this.

[jamesbell]

So, bringing in an army from another country wasn't an escalation... Giving Ukraine the ability to defend itself is the problem?

[martdnipro]

For you war is a theater. Come to Ukraine. Be in our shoes.

[keithpalmer]

This should have been allowed 2 years ago.

[استاذالفيزياءسعيدعلي]

في جميع الحروب الخاسر الوحيد هو الانسان اما الشياطين فتمتلى جيوبهم دماء الابرياء

[francisrodrigues]

I just wonder why Presiden Biden didn’t do this 2 years ago, when this conflict stared on February 2022.

[jbaz]

Find the 3 trillion the pentagon can’t account for!! Find the 100 thousand children lost!!

[scottbarker]

what a actions of a big bully...threatenning with nukes!!!!

[etienne]

If we give up on Ukraine now, we will pay a far higher price later on. Putin needs to be stopped now and permanently.

[marketads]

Ending a war in defeat is never planned for. War makes the losing leader dead or in prison. Who will it be in this war?

[jerrywhite]

Russia brings in North Korean troops, and that is apparently acceptable, but Ukraine is expected to fight Russia “with one arm tied behind them”.

[HSKNN]

This war could have ended a long time ago but war is good business you see.

[Alfarojv]

Imagine how great America would be if...we stopped sending other countries (Israel/Ukraine) billions of dollars And stopped fighting their problems/ wars
