Russians need to understand their problems are in the Kremlin not with the west and not in Ukraine. Peace on Earth and Peace in Ukraine. ❤💙💛💙💛

Glad to hear this gentleman voice that it is same speech being spouted by Putin that Hitler spouted. Spot on!

I wonder how quickly Putin would end the war if he knew he had to go fight on the frontlines himself? 😊

Mrs Amanpour . Highly intelligent and most bravest woman of all time.

Putin's desire to take over Ukraine is no different than his desire to one day dunk a basketball. He would if he could. 🤣
Slava Ukraini!!! 🇺🇦 🇺🇲

It's nice of the Russians to already be wearing the jailbird shirts under the uniform 🙂

The incompetence of the GOP gives our worst enemies aid and comfort and solace.
It's literally a CRIME. And it's DANGEROUS AS HELL.

Sept 1st 1939. America sitting on the sidelines not wanting to get involved.

Putler "I am willing to negotiate if you first acknowledge that everything I have taken from you belongs to me, I mean Russia"

Love mrs. Amanpour interviews and analysis 😍
Is this a pendant with moldovite stone you wear? (it is a rare precious stone from Czech Republic:)

Thank you, USA, for your support to Ukraine! The more powerful and timely it is, the faster this unfair violent war will end. Victory for Ukraine, justice, peace. In this order! 💛💙

One should rejoice in the inability to select a speaker. It shows the USA has choice and simply not a false yes man type of legislature that many countries have.

I think that it is high time and long overdue, that news interviewers stopped putting words into the mouths of those who they are interviewing . In other words, stop asking " do you think that ? ", instead of asking "what do you think of ? " certain actions or utterances of the party/parties of whom the interview is about. This creates distorted views of the interview, which in many cases, is the exact intention of the interviewer and leads to bias .

For group discussion, the ' round robin' method is one way to ensure that everyone gets a chance to participate. Go round the whole group asking everyone to comment, or after one person has made a statement, ask other participants what they think .The 'buzz' method can beg used where people are shy or do not want to get something 'wrong s in front of the group .where there are a number of points to be discussed and all the members of group feel comfortable talking in 'public' each group member can have an opportunity to talk.

It is important to remember that different people in your group may need different approaches to encourages their full participation .For example, in many cultures, young men are expected to be confident and aggressive ; try to create a safe environment for them to talk boy there real feelings and concerns .
