so he is begging to escalate the conflict to ww3?

[tacobell]

Can someone explain to him this will start ww3

[AlDVP]

You're leading us into WW3 Zelensky. Why did u have to keep talking NATO and EU so much? The Europeans rejected 🇺🇦 NATO bid in the past. U should have gone about it nice and slow.

[WW-psjf]

He’s literally asking the whole entire world to get in war over his country

[Warcheiftan]

wants a no fly zone....but also wants planes and drones???

[jayjay]

For those that don't understand what entails a "NO - FLY ZONE" = Step 1 - Take out all Russian's radars systesm. Step 2 - Take out all Russian's air defences. So the answer to Zelensky request? =

[MrGongs-miub]

Crazy, you can't force us to join war

[hugoboss]

2 minutes of silence for those who thought NATO would defend UKRAINIANS.

[jinglesart]

They crazy all our leaders are crazy or not human to say they wanted to see this happen thats ungodly

[JamalFX]

When will Canada focus on its own country and stop getting involved with wars with others, what a waste of time and money

[rkg]

Zelensky is scape goat in war between two super powers… this guy didnot learn lesson from syria, libya, iraq

[jamest]

Look, im for fighting Russia, but thats what you are asking for, not a no fly zone because that isnt something we can provide without being at war,

[emailborda]

Hahaha...everytime i see him online makes me laugh... no fly zone.... what a comedian.

[youtubehatesus]

Canada needs to be free before we can do anything else

[sabrefi]

US needs to mind his own business and do not escalate the situation
