- “Ukraine will be able to hold their own plain for the future and make it impossible for the Russians to squeeze Ukraine into a political crisis.”
The US and UK’s aid package to Ukraine will cause a “disaster” for Putin as it will provide long-range missiles and ammunition to strike the Russians, explains Michael Clarke.

Ukraine doesn’t get 60 billion in cash most of the money goes to US arms suppliers.
Yup its win win Ukraine gets older or near expiry systems and America
get arms industry expansion and job creation.
@@bobdillon1138 We ran out of old stuff a long time ago mate. We are not sending M114s anymore. Most of the munitions are going right from the factory to Ukraine. Days of old stocks has been gone for over a year.
They get nothing in cash. Cash was for Afghanistan and Iran, pallets of it.

as well and being replenished by newer systems from the US.
Nice to see a credible ex UK Prime Minister speaking sense. Superb interview and assessment 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 💪
Ron Johnsons next door neighbor should decide one day to move their property line 40% into his and claim it. Unbelievable this guy holds the position he does.
You nailed it ! Exactly correct
He is a charlatan.
He’s a Russian shill
Don't give Johnson a voice.
It would be even better if he mined the property taken from Ron Johnson.
Ron Johnson is a lot of what is wrong with America nowadays. A putin apologist i'm curious how much he has been paid to hold russia's talking points.
Next year another 60 billion will wipe out putin.😅😅😅😅.Lobbyists are criminals
Trump and Biden is what's wrong with America today.
1) fight climate change, 2) fight farmers, 3) fight Covid 4) fight Putin.
@@bo45but Trump would’ve been worse bc he would give Ukraine away to Putin. So simplistic and unwise ……
@@ValMartinIrelandVery confusing post. Fight farmers?
Those poor people in Ukrain, they were living a happy life, and then putin happened, I feel so sorry fior them, life must be unbearble for them, I think of them al the time, may this end soon for them , I am an Australian, originaly from the Netherlands, may peace and happines return to you soon ❤❤❤
Tiny Ukraine didn't even have a military 3 years ago and has now completely humiliated russia. Putin and his "Kyiv in THREE DAYS!" didn't work out so well lol
Russia has now lost more than HALF the land they held 2 years ago in Ukraine.....and Ukraine didn't even have an army or any weapons 3 years ago. My money is on Ukraine.
If this is your understanding you must be seriously obtuse.
What about the people of Donbas that Ukraine shelled for eight years? Don't you feel sorry for them?
@@throughput6674 eh??
@throughput6674 Are you telling us Ukraine completely leveled entire cities in Donbas region? Which ones are no longer there?

That's the whole point they were not protecting a large part of their citzens. They were doing the oppersite and if you don't know that you know nothing...
And now Ukraine will live free from Ukraine.

@@ConnorJane and now more russian trolls will caput in Ukraine 🇺🇦❤️🇸🇪
true unfortunately the Americans do not believe this... the US does not support Ukraine winning this war, just to wear Russian forces down. The Americans do not want to offend Putin's ego!
It is so excruciating listening to this guy and other republican like Marjorie Taylor Greene talk like this 🤦🤦🤦🤦
There are no more REAL Republicabs.. only ignorant anti democracy trumpian Fascists who don't even comprehend that they ARE Fascists. A true nightmare.
This should have happened a year ago, taking into account the initial, sensible caution. Twice before everyone dived in and we know what happened there, Meanwhile Ukraine has proved every day of the war that they are worthy of all the required assistance, by stepping up and defending itself.
Meanwhile Ukraine has proved every day of the war that IT IS worthy of all the required assistance, by stepping up and defending itself." Right.
@@Comm.DavidPorter Ta.
@@Comm.DavidPorter We are 2 years in, if theyve not been defending themselves then what have they been doing? Hm?
Absolutely! The USA has gone utterly mad! I don't know what the outcome will be in November but they're already saying that this aid package will be the last that the USA gives them. I won't print the words that go through my head when I think of the USA!
@@iansaliba-curtis1041No. The US has not gone mad. The US has a high national debt, it has minimal local manufacturing, it has maximum dependency on foreign attained manufacturing + resources, but beyond this - it has high internal divide driven by ideological stand points; one is nationalistic - the other is globalist, and that is what is playing out in the US political sphere right now.
If you look around, you will see that same thing playing out in many nations - and it's creating massive divides, and what is driving it is how open primarily left wing parties have been to immigrants, to a point that it is breaking nations: and the citizens of those nations are tired of it, growing more fed up with it, and you are seeing a rise of racist views, as well as nationalistic outlooks. And as problems grow - you are going to see more Nationalistic governments take over.
Oh, and Nationalism is not the only thing that is going to play into this. The entire left wing driven woke movement has created it's own boundless amounts of internal hostility - just most of it has been contained, and restricted in where it was spoken out with, but - slowly but surely, everyone has gotten so desensitized to the attacks, that it is starting to emerge very blatantly.
The short of this: There is a LOT going on, that is all playing into this - and if your answer is to jump to blaming the US, you should be looking at your own nation.
Ron Johnson is almost a tie for the dumbest US politician!
Ron Johnson is a disgrace! 😤
You clowns prefer to hear the lies instead? Only happy when you hear good news? Well this guy tells the truth so that this NATO Hype parade gets real and stops imagining Putins collapse. Go to Ukraine for yourselves and you will quickly agree with Ron
MAGA is the treason wing of the Republican party.
They are Pro-Kremlin and advocates of overturning elections.
I fully agree, and I am out of words as to what to say about him. Anything would be an insult to those very words.
And Tucker just interviewed Aleksandr Dugin.
@@LA-kc7ev Yeah. A. Dugin is the dicktator's chief ideologist, the RU equivalent of the Nazi's Alfred Rosenberg.
Funny how Ron Johnson thinks two years is too long for a "proxy war" in Ukraine while simultaneously thinking that 20 years was not long enough for a *direct* war in Afghanistan.
Funny how hypocrisy always slaps them in the face without them knowing what hit them
The difference is Ukraine never attacked anyone.
If you are not intelligent enough to understand the context of the Afghanistan war and Ukraine war, maybe speaking out on the internet isn't a good fit for you.
Also, I'm not positive that the Honorable Representative Johnson believes that 20 yrs was not long enough...just putting that out there to consider.
@@Maja-Danmark I don't think that word 'hypocrisy' means what you seem to be presenting it to mean. There is a requirement of similarity or likeness to be compared to determine a judgment of hypocrisy. From a US point of view, there is no similarity between these two wars, other than the fact they are both wars. It isn't as if the USA is blocking anyone from helping Ukraine, or even denying selling supplies to those who are assisting Ukraine. Your dislike of the positions isn't enough to establish likeness or similarities.
@@robertevans2450 Actually, the US for a long time blocked transfer of "made in the US" weapons by their European owners. Think F16, for example. Or Maven.
We won't call Ron Johnson "America first." Ron Johnson is Russia first.
Exactly
Do you mean Mike Johnson (James Michael Johnson ) the speaker of the House in the US congress, who delayed bringing the bill for a vote for Ukraine aid for six months?
Dry your eyes fud
@franceyneireland1633 no, I am ok with him. He tried to force Biden to secure the border. How can I blame him for trying? It didn't work, so it was time to fund Ukraine and he did. The delay scared Europe and due to the delay, they really stepped up and now Speaker Johnson pushed aid through. This aid will keep Ukraine afloat until Europe gets its new programs running and continually arming Ukraine. So, I forgive the Speaker for the delay. Btw, Russians are crossing the Mexican border. Border control is essential. Hopefully they will get there.
Open borders are destroying America.
How will a destroyed America save Ukraine?
Ron Johnson sounds as though he would appease Vladimir Putin and likely ask Putin, "How much of Ukraine would you like?
All of it? OK, let's move on with it."
Ron Johnson is a failure as a human being.
Pretty much what Greene is doing she so pro Russia/Putin. The fact she doesn't even have the basic sense to understand how bad that is to let be known out in the open demonstrates how mentally unstable she is.
@12:25 Sorry, my friend, but Ttump is _not capable_ of nuance. What happened is that the discharge petition for the pre-exisiting Senate bill was building support. So forestall that (and to make it _look_ like the Republicans could actually function) Ttump was notified that Johnson (in a weird act of reasonableness and responsibility) was going to move the House bills to the floor for a vote. Once they reached the floor, it was all over because there *is* actually overwhelming support in the US for Ukraine ... just not in the far right fascist wing of the GOP.
no wars under Trump and he's not paid off by the MIC like the Democrats are.
Slava Ukraine ! We must vote blue to help keep Europe and the world free !
Vote for the Reagan half of "red" in order to "keep Europe and the world free." Don't forget that it was Reagan's policies that led to the collapse of the USSR and the liberation of eastern Europe.
As to the current situation, we are in this mess because in 2014, Obama/Biden refused to discharge the obligations under the Budapest Memorandum to "protect the territorial integrity of Ukraine," and because Biden displayed such monumental weakness in Afghanistan that Putler saw his chance.
Presumably you mean vote for tories, which is insane. The Tories have been taking Russian money for years. can you answer why they accepted all those donations? Why under Boris was London called Londonstad? When are they going to fully release the Russia report? They're not fit to govern and have been traitors to the UK by taking their money amongst other corruption.
Russia is only 2.4 miles distant from the US if you cut the world map in two and paste the other parts together. 🤣
yeah right, free from peace with these insane demon rat incited endless wars.
Sen. Johnson is absolutely disgusting.
No, he'll be proven right. Either time will prove him right or the woman saying "There's a stalemate because funding dried up". No, there was a stalemate when Ukraine was given $100 billion and they only advanced 10 km. This is a forever war, and when this $60 billion runs out you people are going to say the same thing.
No, ALL of congress is disgusting.
He is a stingy scared bird.
Oh, he just doesn't want anybody to die(!)
As if any of his reasoning makes sense
I thought a Senator would be more intelligent than a Representative - my bad
@Maja-Danmark It's how most Republicans reason, stupidly. Have you ever listened Majorie Green Taylor, you would just cry.
Bolton, who worked for Trump, says that Trump really does intend to withdraw from NATO.
The House had enough signatures plus promised signatures for the discharge petition to pass. That is why Johnson and Trump changed their stance.
The support of The UK has been incredible
The problem with giving Ron Johnson air time is that he doesn’t know what he is talking about: US taxpayer spent this money decades ago when the weapons that are being sent to Ukraine were built. The US taxpayer will continue to pay for secure storage of these weapons and munitions until they are either given/sold to a cause like Ukraine or they are dumped. It’s not that current US taxpayers can’t afford to give them; its that it makes no economic sense to keep then when allies (people whose interests are aligned with the US’s) could use them to advance shared interests.
So many Americans don’t understand that the US can’t exist without a global mindset. Even when someone in a country on the other side of the world hacks their identity or bank account, with the connivance of that country’s government.
How did so many people become so ignorant so quickly? People like Ron Johnson were given air time.
By neglecting their education system, and the deeply selfish American attitude…
In which decade were the American people wanting to spend money on Ukrainian weapons? We didn't start arming them until around 2010? You would know more than me, Military Industrialist Schill...
The American people do not support giving so much of our money on the world's wars. Its insane to me. Look at historic military spending, it was over 5% for decades! It has never fallen below 3%. Wealthy European countries barely spent 1%, and yet American taxpayers paid for their defense? The defense of the FIRST World, not the third world. Europe owes us reparations if you ask me. They have better healthcare than us. I believe they have better infrastructure, more high speed rail? I wouldn't know, I'm too poor to visit. I believe Europeans are more able to travel the world than Americans. All thanks to the peace they have enjoyed off the backs of harder working American taxpayers.
Where am I wrong?

@@daviddestefanis2989 Yes, Europe has enjoyed a 30+ year peace premium. Yes, they need to rebalance their expenditures. All that said, the US enjoys the 1st economic position in the world.

If you personally are experiencing difficulties, I would suggest you direct your efforts there instead of focusing on global affairs 👍🏻.

How to debunk Ron Johnson's entire debate 101:
>Appeasement 1930s
How to describe everything Ron Johnson thinks, believes in or does: 1930.
This old man should be ashamed of himself. So many people dying.
Thank God we dont have many politicans like Ron Johnson here in Europe.
Your Orban is worse.
We do have them though.. Orban and few more like like him.. And the far left, far right in most eu countries too
Johnson is just one more CATHOLIC TRAITOR.
R and D mean nothing. A third of all ‘elected’ are CATHOLIC, not Americans. 150,000 Russians invade Ukraine. What about the 500 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC invaders from 'down south'. Invading the USA? ? ? ? Biden, CATHOLIC TRAITOR is inviting them!
The far left is much more prevent and is the real danger to Europe.
Good grief, you're short sighted. Were those running Europe's governments who decided to underfund their militaries for three decades space aliens?
Scholz is worse. Dragged kicking and screaming to provide _lethal_ aid to Ukraine. And this debacle is due to Chancellors Schroeder and Merkel. Both in Putin's pocket and the problem goes deep into both the SDP and CDU. Germany refusing Ukraine (and Georgia) a membership action plan in Nato in 2008 set this catastrophe up.

Go to the front line
I thought they had run out of artillery shells and missiles, Putin was near death, then they were losing in bakhmut and fighting with shovels. Then there was going to be a coup and Ukraine was going to overrun their defences with a couple of dozen donated tanks. Or am I taking reports on here too seriously?
The US arms manufacturers need to invest Trillions of USD to get to the same production rates as the Russians. That is around 10,000$ per US household. Go ahead and donate, if it is worth that much to you.
@@andreasferenczi7613Do you know why America does not have massive artillery production? Because we don’t fight WWI trench warfare like Russia does, we don’t require massive artillery duals & trains like Russia. The west has moved far past that, we do Combined Arms Mobile Warfare using smart munitions and could roll right over any Russian trench line in a matter of hours. This is why Russia would not last 4 days against a modern western military like America or NATO.

You can only imagine the Ukrainian death toll in avdiivka. The USA didn't expect thermobaric weapons and glide bombs.
That's wrong to say one thing can be a game changer. Air power is always the game changer.
Air power has been nullified in this war due to effective air defence. Economics is the game changer. It costs a lot less to shoot down a state of the art war plane than to replace one. It also costs a lot more to shoot down a cheap drone than to replace that drone. We are finding out that Iran backed a winning horse in the 80's by investing in cheap drone technology. The future of this war maybe cheap decoys to drain the other side economically. I wonder if thats why the US have just bought 81 cheap Russian 70's war planes??

USA GDP $25.44 trillion.
USA Defence Budget $857.9 billion
Ukraine aid $61 billion
So about 7% of defence budget
About 0.24% of GDP.
Your tax bill will barely show a thing.
USA spending on Iraq and Afghanistan $2.313 trillion from 2001 to 2022
Ukraine gave up their nukes with the understanding of having protection.
Also, over 6,000 Ukrainians performed military service in Iraq and Kuwait during the war, including a permanent presence of 1,600, and 18 Ukrainians were killed
We had a rough patch of doubt (thanks, MAGA), but Putin has to read the writing by now...

Top Notch info from this man, ( Michael Clark ) & explains his thoughts with great detail, that we the pullic, can understand !!!
I love Prof. Clarke's analysis. He always talks so much sense.
300 km is NOT a long range. 500 km is barely mid range, 1,000 is a long range. Ukraine needs at least 500km range which Storm Shadow can deliver provided it is the for own use French British version, not the 250km export version. The 500km range would allow Ukraine to hit the Russian Black Sea fleet in its home ports as well as the Kerch bridge.
Is there even a Black sea fleet left? Ukraine has practically destroyed it lol
If British and French missiles hit Russia, then Russian missiles will arrive in London and Paris. Have you thought about that? Russia has 6,000 nuclear missiles, this is not Iraq and Syria.

Well done to the gentleman and his most able analysis of the war market in Ukraine. Brilliant straightforward delivery of a most - complicated piece of intellectual capacity to analyse.
Thanks a lot, Brits!🇬🇧🇺🇦
It's only a so called stale mate because any aid has taken too long to get there. If aid was sent when it was first requested the war probably would've already had ended. And very much in Ukraines favour.
Great conversation. I maintain a positive view of Ukraine's future given the tragic dithering of the Republican - led House in delaying necessary support to Ukraine's defenses. This is that without sufficient munitions and machines both offensive and defensive Ukraine has had to dig deeper within their rather substantial capabilities to fight and survive (I doubt even Americans could match one for one the fierce Ukrainians in a contest!). Now with a considerable supply of munitions Ukraine will use them with greater efficiency and deadlier effect. Add to this, that Ukrainian's European neighbors have been stepping up to their responsibilities to link arms together with Ukraine, to fight this scourge within their own region!
Of course Michael Clarke is right! Slava Ukraini!
wackzenzky is evil. no elections... shoves ppl in vans to go die
He's certainly correct that the russian army is the joke of the world at this point.

I'm no real fan of Russia, China or Iran etc. however it's way more then just a good or evil scenario at play here but if that were the case, we are very often the bad guys... and to be entirely frank, if we had the same kind of advantage over these "evil nations" as we do in Africa etc. we would just simply exploit them to no end... so if i was living in any of their countries i would probably also desire a though and more independent government ready to stand up against "the west" and it's imperialistic endeavors.
If you think France having anti-American Attitudes is strange: Lets just say, France had made arrangements to buy O&G from Iraq in Euro's rather than in USD. The US failing to negotiate that away, found an excuse to go to war - and terminated that arrangement by gun point, and France holds a grudge. The amount of money France has sunk into it's intelligence apparatus to shut out the US is absolutely ludicrous.
The truth is, France and Germany both have reason to be unhappy with the US. If they can figure out how to develop without ties to the USD, they will - and part of that, is understanding the importance of China right now, as well as automation, and advanced technology, but to get there - France and Germany need to strengthen their own local economies, AI development, and Militaries. As much as you might not realize it, but the war in Ukraine has been a huge justification for European countries, long having let their military languish, receive renewed focus to develop it, grow it, and that is mildly terrifying.
With China flooding the market with cheap items - maybe, the view will shift on China, but pretty much the entire west has a debt problem - and it's crippling the cost of living, it's crippling job income value, it's crippling the birth rate.
Well when calling for "Peace" and "Negotiations" in Ukraine and or Gaza makes you Pro Putin, expect a lot more of them.
😢Did he not get the memo? American manufacturing in China is moving to Mexico. America has to invest in Mexican infrastructure to move products from Mexico. We don't need a border. We need a stable and safe country that isn't shipping Chinese FENTANYL into America. 😢
Well your “leaders” have spent the last few decades dismantling all your manufacturing and shipping it to the third world. Good idea😵💫
China stopped that after talking to Blinken
Ukraine can recruit 100,000 willing "volunteers" from around the world to help solve its lack of manpower problem!
It seems that Polish President Duda's visit with Trump might well have affected his Ukraine position. Trump is an admirer of Duda who years earlier had proposed naming a Polish base "Fort Trump". Now that the Americans have committed, the Germans will now follow.(As they have since the beginning of the invasion). France is currently engaged in thwarting Russian ambitions in Africa and see the Ukrainian front as their their best opportunity.The Allies seem to be coalescing behind Ukraine.Americans thank the UK,the Baltic and Nordic countries,Poland,Czechia, the Netherlands,other Eastern EU countries that have helped keep Ukraine supplied until the US sorted out it's rather uniquely bizarre political issues.👍👍👏
"How the US and UK’s aid package to Ukraine will destroy Putin" Come on, the UK package is a drop in the water. Denmark is providing more aid than the UK
It's not a competition mate
@@mrglide7078 I know, but the "UK aid will destroy Putin" bit sounds like it is
It won’t. It’s the usual pipe dream nonsense TR has been telling its clearly gullible audience for the last 2 years.
Funny 😊
SLAVA UKRAINI!!
Michael Clarke actually knows what he is talking about, one of the few observers who understands the military details, contemporary Russian politics, as well as the historical context of this conflict. We are are lucky to have him
Professor Michael 👏👏👏👏
I’m from uk 🇬🇧I hate the government giving our tax payers money away. But if someone is going to attack one of our neighbouring and friendly countries. Then it’s game on as far as I’m concerned 🤷♂️
First learn to wipe your nose before picking up a fight. We are in shambles already.
Russia has already lost half the land they held 2 years ago. That ain't winning.😂
Russia has also sacrificed its future. Those dead young men aint coming back to be a productice part of society. For an already overaged society, this is a tragedy.
@@frederikzinn6568 Not to mention their army is now the joke of the world😂
@@dpelpal The Russian Navy is even more of a joke 😂😂😂😂
@@Gaz9845 When did that "same guy" claim that? Please tell us, botski.
@@WuFu-ku8si I got my intel from the same guy that told me russia has now lost half the land they held in Ukraine 2 years ago. Turned out to be accurate😏
This is the funniest channel on TH-cam when it comes to the Ukr/Rus war.... I come here to get my laughs in😂😂.. and change to more honest and legit channels to get the real information
The long rage ATACMS has a range of 300 km for the unitary model. This is the model that makes all of Crimea, including the Kerch bridge. Combined the with the naval munitions from the UK, the key Kerch bridge in significant jeopardy.
more people will also die this year
I was looking for something to listen to while mowing the lawn… sure enough Michael Clarke comes up big!!!
What a shame to see and hear what the US Senator Johnson had to say about his reasons for objecting the aid package : nothing except horrible cowardice & shortsightedness ! He obviously has no insight at all how empty and meaningless his calling Putin as war criminal is without a solid commitment to stop him on his track !
I suggest that you guys NEVER have Ron traitor Johnson on again ever
GEN Syrskyi is NOT a legacy Soviet maneuver leader like GEN Zaluzhny. GEN Syrskyi was born in Russia and trained as a Soviet Commander. Nevertheless, GEN Syrskyi spent much time in Ukrainian Military Command acting as a NATO liaison. He seems far more NATO influenced in head military philosophy. It was GEN Syrskyi who actually Commanded Units defending Kviv in 2022. It was GEN Syrskyi who also Command Units which liberated Kupiansk, Izium, and Lyman in the Ukrainian Kharkiv Offensive. These were good signs of NATO schemes of maneuver being executed.
GEN Syrskyi took over Military Command just prior to the fall of Ukrainian defenses in Avdiivka. GEN Zaluzhny did not leave GEN Syrskyi with a robust Avdiivka defense plan. This forced GEN Syrskyi to use a NATO scheme of inserting a fresh battle hardened Unit into an immediate difficult fight so that another mauled Unit could be retrograded and salvaged to as great a degree as possible. This was achieved at Avdiivka by GEN Syrskyi.
Additionally, GEN Syrskyi used another NATO scheme called a fighting retreat as rear defensive lines were hastily constructed. This Operational Level strategy was executed in a series of Tactical Level maneuvers and bought time to build 2 Defense Lines. So far it has only failed at part of 1 point where a Russian breach succeeded.
NATO allies of Ukraine are stepping up in terms of Industrial Level war support. However, Ukraine’s current biggest weakness is self made: a manpower shortage. Ukraine needs to recruit about 150,000 troops per year. They need 10,000 to 15,000 per month or 35,000 to 40,000 per quarter. All these troops need NATO quality Basic Training and AIT (equipment/specialty) training outside Ukraine in NATO countries. This 2 part training takes 4 to 8 months depending on AIT. Next is 3 months in Germany to train as Companies and then Battalions. Those troops AIT for Battalion Staff support need all 3 months in a Battalion TOC, battle planning and also monitoring Company Level training as if they were monitoring a battlefield operation.
Finally, Battalions will be inserted into Ukraine in low risk areas along the Polish, Slovakian, Hungarian, Moldavian, Romanian, and Belarus borders. For 3 months they will practice Brigade Level maneuvers including moving to new locations. Then it’s 3 months along the Russian border from Kviv to Kharkiv. Finally, it’s up to 18 months on an active frontline with daily challenges. This is how 36 months of mobilization will look like to a good military training program.
No trained troops will be demobilized until after the war. KIA and WIA beyond return to battle, are the only troops removed from the register. After 36 months, all fit troops will be reassigned to National Guard Units near their homes and families. They will drill monthly and train annually as a Unit. They can be Activated for service at anytime for up to an additional 18 months. All time served will count towards retirement points and preferred employment points in government jobs. This is in addition to any medical or disability benefits earned.
He led the battle of Kyviv. Gen Syrskyi is tough.
@@maneshipocrates2264 "He LED the battle of Kyiv." The word "lead," pronounced with a short "e" like "led," is a heavy metal.
Thanks for this information informative thread. My friends have been mobilised into the Ukrainian army, I now understand a little better their difficulties
@@Comm.DavidPorter Oops typo. Thanks :) You understood my point though.
@@buddyrojek9417 I wish all Ukrainians but particularly troops my prayers for safety. This is not always practical. So, I also pray Ukrainian Officers and NCOs lead their troops wisely to suffer minimum casualties. I called my Congressman 5-6 times supporting passage of US Aid to Ukraine. I was proud to see him on Kviv Independent making the announcement of Ukraine Aid passage along with Israel and Taiwan Aid.
But he keeps going. He must be removed
When russia lost all of kharkiv and Kherson, that ain't going forward. Russia has now lost 50% of the land they held 2 years ago, and has lost all their black sea fleet
Peace negotiations was and still is the best way forward
Well articulated.
Bye Bye Putin
Ron Johnson trying to be a star on Russian TV. I'm sure he is getting plenty of air time over there.
I'm sure he's full of air himself. never sit in the direction of one of his farts.
Putin will never honor negotiations
shame on putin
He shouldn't have screamed the whole "Kyiv in THREE DAYS!" bit. I think the world just laughs at russia now lol

So what's the lesson ? Repeat after me - I will not do business with dictatorships (Russia and China) or the chickens will eventually come home to roost !
Kind of hard when nearly everything says "made in china" on it.
@@SgtAndrewM That is only because western countries enabled it by shutting down our own manufacturing and transfering it to China to save a few cents on cheap consumer goods that just end up in landfill.
