Thank you Senator for the message about the Russian people.

@@ny2979 Bernie isn't a socialist you nutsack. I bet you can't even define communism or socialism. What you perceive to be "communism" or "socialism" aligns much more with right wing authoritarianism that it ever did socialism or communism.

I hope that once we all get to the other side of this, we will have a renewed push for justice in our world. It’s been very inspiring to see the brave people of Ukraine standing up for democracy in their country. And to see brave people in Russia protesting against this war in theirs. I would love to see more movements like these gaining momentum in other countries as well, including here in the states against anyone who would try to turn us toward anything resembling Putin’s Russia.
Stay strong, my friend. So many around the world are seeing this horrific situation and doing what they can for the hurting people of both the Ukraine and Russia. Stay safe. ❤ to you and yours from the U.S.
I admire Bernie for many reasons. What I admire most is that when you ask what he thinks about something, he will tell you without hesitating. He never worries that what he says will become a political argument. Are there any politicians in American history that are willing to wear their heart on their sleeve like Bernie? I don't think so.

As someone who have friends in Russia and Ukraine, the ongoing conflict is a fool's dream to undermine the relationship between two nations which shared similar cultures and none of them wants any disputes especially with an on going pandemic.
The Russian people and the Ukrainians want no conflict, nor do the Russian PEOPLE demand that Ukrainians be ruled by Putin. It's PUTIN who cannot tolerate a liberal democratic state on his border, one succeeding well where his people can see it and know about it, and he can't lie to them like he can lie about the further-away and tribally-foreign America. He KNOWS he's never been elected by his people, that he has no rule of law, that the only rule in Russia is power and terror, propping up lies, and enforcing ignorance. If Russian people realize that Ukrainian people aren't serfs? That they DO have rights,and liberties of their own, can say what they think, and can choose their leadership? Then they'll start wondering why they can't have it that too, and the regime won't be able to delude them with lies about how all the Western nations are worse off, and freedoms are all lies, and only loyalty to Authoritarian Russia can keep them safe from the horrid, horrid godless threat of PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE, RULE THEMSELVES, AND PURSUE HAPPINESS IN LAWFUL AMITY. AKA what Putin's latest propaganda release called "Anti-Russia"!

For anyone interested; ReallifeLore made an amazing video about the real reasoning Putin has. /watch?v=If61baWF4GE Essentially, it boils down to Putin amassing wealth through the oil/gas state. Ukraine threatened that by discovering natural gas and Putin had to intervene to save himself from the poverty many Russians are in already. Russian politics declining to diversify their interests from oil and gas has built up to this. Corruption and paranoia fed it.
Bernie is the only politician I would ever get out of my chair for and cheer on in my living room! I love and respect him so much. Ah what could’ve been
@@BishopWalters12 apparently you don't know anything about politics. Bernie Sanders is smart enough to know that the Democratic party rigged the system against him and instead of being a sore loser and not trying to help the Democratic Party get rid of trump Bernie Sanders did what any good person should do in the situation and help the person that the corrupt Democratic Party put as their candidate to win against Trump. The only reason that Biden one is because those of us who support Bernie voted for Biden. And those of you who supported Bernie that talk s*** about him now you're a hypocrite and you were never a true Bernie supporter.
Meanwhile, the majority of Russians support the war and thousands of them are drawing the white "Z" on their cars, clothes etc. to support the invasion.
Im tearing up because Im thinking of how beautiful things would be if he won the election. Bernie Sanders, a true fucking political legend for progressives. the #GOAT
This man is epitome of struggle for a healthier society…to fix society you don’t need to invest 3 times more in police or that much in already strongest army in the world (which half is going to contractors and then those same contractors investing money in “lobbying” to congress) and what he’s saying is not socialism for God sake, it is what almost all Western European countries have in place…where citizens(people)are more important then corporations and you have much healthier societies…it is amazing how so many people are brainwashed and doesn’t understand basics…
The problems with a word like “socialism” is that there is so much elasticity in its definition… you could say that public roads are a form of socialism, and you wouldn’t be wrong
"we"?....he's an independent ...which is fine..and he should have ran as one..but they have no money to run a national campaign..so he wanted the democrat's money..and they said "we want a democrat to run as a democrat" ..like always
Nah, bro. He still would have lost to the last guy because the electoral college is so fucked up, not to mention Fox and other right wing propaganda would have a field day demonizing him as a socialist. And considering how many people believe in the Big Lie, you can bet they'd believe any lies told about him.
@@joetravieso3542 he never asked the Dems for money. He asked the people. And we delivered. He ran a a Dem because he didn't want to split the vote and ensure a GOP victory.
I am glad Biden won because by now Ukraine would be crushed. Do you think NATO would have moved an inch without the US pressing? No they were as usual dragged to take up the responsibilities they signed up for by joining NATO. Remember Trump wanted to get out of NATO. Remember that Putin gave him those ideas? I am sure Bernie would not have the balls to stand up and say no to Putin. But you might have your student debt forgiven.
@@virginiaoflaherty2983 would you believe that if I had to choose between what's good and needed for Americans versus what's good and needed for Ukrainians, I'd pick Americans right?

The fault lies with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, and incidentally... her bullshit forced Sanders to file a lawsuit which resulted in her being removed as DNC Chair.
Understands the nuances to a T. Putin is the enemy, not the Russian people. I think he's also alluding to looking within our own borders and understanding where we have Putins of our own, and if so, how do we take them down
@@elizabethdillon4945 well, our last president did incite violence against him personally and his supporters in a Truly Hitler like move as one example.
I know it was played off as a funny moment, but Sanders's immediate "yes" in response to being asked "this is nicer than hanging out with your colleagues?" sure seemed to have more than a little honesty behind it. And 100% behind the message that the regular people in Russia are not to blame for what their government is doing.
I'm not that into American politics but just from this clip I really like this guy and totally agree with what he say, he seems actually emphathetic to the people and definitely not like Trump who only thinks about himself andvleaves even his greatest supporters in the shit if he has to. Surprised to hear am American politician who could have become a president call out the shitty health care system, I really feel for American's who suffer even more because of it. And agree even Putin of course have supporters the Russian people itself are not the enemy most just want to raise their children and live their lives just like most Americans, Europeans or Africans too. It really is very concerning right now what kind of world will we leave to our children, will they be free, have democracy, will the world be torn by war (even nuked), will they starve because we have destroyed the environment? This is very serious, I wish adults with power specially cared more.
But when he went there on his honeymoon it wasn't the Russian people it was the USSR the guy has no credibility he's always wanted to turn us into a socialist country he comes from socialist Vermont that even Vermont turned down his policies let him run again you want to see the Democrats screw him over again cuz I don't know I think the Democrats don't even like communists
He is right, most people in Russia have no idea what is happening, the ones that do or say anything are put in jail with a prison sentence of 5 to 18 years over their head.

“The Russian people are not our enemies.” Those words should have been in Biden’s speech. As ordinary Russians suffer under sanctions, it’s important that they direct their anger at Putin and not the West. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Putin's approval rating has gone up since the invasion to almost 70% among Russians. Meanwhile Biden's approval rating is at 41%. So if it's just approval rating that determines "good leadership," then Putin is winning with his people.

"If you feel depressed, and if you feel anxious, and you feel confused...That's how all of America feels right now." Thank you, Senator Sanders for 2022 Quote of the Year, describing the State of the American Psyche 😆
@@aprilmay1700 Perhaps what America really needs is a rude wake up call--a shock, if you will--instead of soothing platitudes. Compassion can take many guises. Considering the breadth and magnitude of the problems the country is facing, a bit of "tough love" would not be out of place.

@@stevenmiddleton61 The story of Sen. Sanders' relatively new wealth has been around for a while now, but, I'm glad to repeat it. It would be good for everyone to know. Bernie's public service salaries--first as the re-elected Mayor of Vermont's largest city, then as a re-elected US Representative for Vermont, and currently as re-elected US Senator--had nothing to do with his new wealth. That came from his powerful book that was #3 on the New York Times Best-Seller list. "Our Revolution" was also published in China, England, France, Germany, Serbia and South Korea. Then, he wrote another well-received book, "Where We Go from Here: Two Years in the Resistance," 2018, 270pp. It, in part, chronicles "the day-by-day struggles he and his colleagues waged "against Trump's reactionary agenda and for a government that works for all of us, not just wealthy campaign contributors." It, too, was popular. I just finished it recently, could see why it also was a "very good read," as they say.
Bernie is like the witty compassionate the logical and humble grandpa who knows how to communicate. While, Trump is the rambling instigating uncle no one wants to invite, except for the relatives you don't wanna visit
Нет войнe! Желаю силы украинскому народу. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 И желаю мужества российским протестующим.🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺 No war! Strength to the Ukrainian people. And, courage to the Russian protesters.

Bernie became a millionaire from being in government. An entity that does not create money (printing is not the same as creating) but takes money. Your money. Can't get anymore inside trading than that.
@@robfulco4739 The government creates wealth by rendering services to the public. Building projects and social support (and many more government expenditures).

Why do you think they never went after him?
@@integral Nothing worse than neoliberal democrats. You guys can't cope with the fact that Hillary was terrible and very few were impassioned to vote for her.
The problem is not enough people vote during the primaries. I had so many people tell me "I'll vote for him in the general election if he makes it." Most people can't be bothered with the primaries and don't get me started on the caucuses. Those are unbelievably time consuming.
The problem seemed to be that Bernie was really popular, but he kept hitting a snag when he started talking about anything that sounded to people like Socialism, and he couldn't find a better way to phrase it that people could get on board about. His policies and ideas are good, but it wasn't grabbing the attention as intended, and that - in my view - is what stopped his momentum. The good consolation is that the Biden Administration is open to his ideas, so at least we have that.
@@FalloutJack Americans need a breakdown of what Socialism really is and what Social Democracy really is, and how those things differ from what the Soviet Union had. Because I believe nearly everyone would support Bernie's ideas if they weren't called "Socialism"
"Men do not wage war. Leaders wage war and men suffer for it." Spare a thought for those Russian soldiers who want nothing to do with this but are sent to die for the ambitions of a tyrant who would not die for them.

@nushka19 I had no problem reading or understanding Freetimers reply. I think he is spot on personally. Our "leaders", and I mean globally, including here in the U.S.A., have sold us all out. I voted for Bernie in the 2016 primary, and would have again in 2020 if he hadn't of abdicated to Biden and the DNC PREMATURALY, throwing away all his leverage. For all the scare mongering over Trump being a threat to our democracy, it was Hillary and the DNC that actually did subvert democracy by cheating Bernie, and the American voters of their choice. I didn't like Trump as a human being long before he ran for president, still don't like him... but he won because blue collar voters who voted for Obama, twice, refused to vote for Clinton, and many voted for Trump instead. The vast majority of those same working class voters supported Sanders tho... and yet, like his abdicating in 2020, he refused to take on the corruption in the DNC that cheated him in 2016, and came out in support of Clinton instead. To his credit, he hasn't sold out to corporate or monied interests, but to his shame he sold out for his politcal career. I like Bernie as a human being, but I have lost faith in him as any kind of leader. I agree with Freetimer 100%, and rather than telling him to tone it down, I would say anyone not screaming these truths at the top of their lungs should not be taken seriously.
@@kingofelves9487 You right 100%. I didn't vote for Bernie, I just think he is a good dude who is generally true to his word. I also consider myself more of a centrist, and hoping that someday I get to see a non "left" or "right" president because I truly believe political parties are part of the issue for the polarization and the pure hate everyone has towards eachother nowadays. We are all humans, we should be able to talk without saying "you are an idiot." And come to a middle ground.
Thank you Senator. Ordinary Russians are not evil. It’s their government that is. I have family both in Russia and Ukraine and this situation is so horrible I can’t even explain the pain I feel 😢
THERE'S MY president. If this man had been elected in 2016 what a different place we would be living in. The right would have had an apocalyptic fit, but this man had been fighting for US citizens his entire career.

Let's ALWAYS remember this! Wars are fought by people like you and me to enforce the interests of a small elite. Russian, Ukrainian, American - every life is precious!
Despite the missteps of the american military, the world is most certainly in a better place directly because of American intervention. We contained communism and brought the fall of the ussr. Just look at japan and south korea. When the US invades a country, we tried to rebuild that country. Sometimes it failed spectacularly, and clearly greed became involved in the middle east, which is a shame

As someone who have friends in Russia and Ukraine, the ongoing conflict is a fool's dream to undermine the relationship between two nations which shared similar cultures and none of them wants any disputes especially with an on going pandemic.
The Russian people and the Ukrainians want no conflict, nor do the Russian PEOPLE demand that Ukrainians be ruled by Putin. It's PUTIN who cannot tolerate a liberal democratic state on his border, one succeeding well where his people can see it and know about it, and he can't lie to them like he can lie about the further-away and tribally-foreign America. He KNOWS he's never been elected by his people, that he has no rule of law, that the only rule in Russia is power and terror, propping up lies, and enforcing ignorance.
If Russian people realize that Ukrainian people aren't serfs? That they DO have rights,and liberties of their own, can say what they think, and can choose their leadership? Then they'll start wondering why they can't have it that too, and the regime won't be able to delude them with lies about how all the Western nations are worse off, and freedoms are all lies, and only loyalty to Authoritarian Russia can keep them safe from the horrid, horrid godless threat of PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE, RULE THEMSELVES, AND PURSUE HAPPINESS IN LAWFUL AMITY. AKA what Putin's latest propaganda release called "Anti-Russia"!

For anyone interested; ReallifeLore made an amazing video about the real reasoning Putin has. /watch?v=If61baWF4GE
Essentially, it boils down to Putin amassing wealth through the oil/gas state. Ukraine threatened that by discovering natural gas and Putin had to intervene to save himself from the poverty many Russians are in already. Russian politics declining to diversify their interests from oil and gas has built up to this. Corruption and paranoia fed it.

That came from his powerful book that was #3 on the New York Times Best-Seller list. "Our Revolution" was also published in China, England, France, Germany, Serbia and South Korea. Then, he wrote another well-received book, "Where We Go from Here: Two Years in the Resistance," 2018, 270pp. It, in part, chronicles "the day-by-day struggles he and his colleagues waged "against Trump's reactionary agenda and for a government that works for all of us, not just wealthy campaign contributors."

I first spare a thought for the many Ukrainians who are suffering at the barrels of this poor soldiers... You know, those soldiers can do the right thing: disarm and surrender. Citizens stuck in Kharkiv or Kyiv. Cannot do much to escape the bombings.
What if there was a war and nobody showed up ?
NATO should have just accepted Russia's request to never make Ukraine never join NATO
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones
Please live forever, Senator Sanders.
Even Zombie Sanders would be a great asset. Devoted his life to Democracy for all.
Is not going to happen.
@Alam natural will you go away and boil your head? Stop SPAMMING every post.
No disrespect, yet... really?
What exactly have we all been through over the past few years, my fellow human beings? How may any of us confidently know if at least half of the information was U.N-democratically, and brutally, hidden or misplaced?
The most honest thing Bernie said was : "... we don't know."
I'm on no-sides these days, for reasons which are all to obvious. I feel we are in a generation which employs more "tear-jerks", aggressive rhetoric, and to fund and support these wars with our "defensive weapons" - Which last time I observed, causes more innocent, senseless deaths on both sides of our framed positions.
No popular social leader, or U.N. speaker, (or entertaining comedians) should be persuading us to choose which leaders' innocent citizens we "should or should not" care about. What's wrong with this nearly godless world, my citizens?
There has to be a more ethical and sincere moral choice about all this "World Warring", or how may we continue to say we are the miracle of evolution? What is it?
Hypocrisy is nearly an international pandemic. Peace above all, Human Beings.
He should be put into a dreadnought so that future generations can hear the wisdom of the ancients and feel the bern.
I got to see Bernie speak once and shake his hand, he is like an absolute beast and knows how to get a crowd going! It's awesome
Same for me, 2018 Iowa! It was really a good feeling.
@@josephfreetimer1736 It's obvious English isn't your first language so you are trying too hard. Tone it down if you want to be taken seriously.
@nushka19 I had no problem reading or understanding Freetimers reply. I think he is spot on personally. Our "leaders", and I mean globally, including here in the U.S.A., have sold us all out. I voted for Bernie in the 2016 primary, and would have again in 2020 if he hadn't of abdicated to Biden and the DNC PREMATURALY, throwing away all his leverage. For all the scare mongering over Trump being a threat to our democracy, it was Hillary and the DNC that actually did subvert democracy by cheating Bernie, and the American voters of their choice. I didn't like Trump as a human being long before he ran for president, still don't like him... but he won because blue collar voters who voted for Obama, twice, refused to vote for Clinton, and many voted for Trump instead. The vast majority of those same working class voters supported Sanders tho... and yet, like his abdicating in 2020, he refused to take on the corruption in the DNC that cheated him in 2016, and came out in support of Clinton instead. To his credit, he hasn't sold out to corporate or monied interests, but to his shame he sold out for his politcal career. I like Bernie as a human being, but I have lost faith in him as any kind of leader. I agree with Freetimer 100%, and rather than telling him to tone it down, I would say anyone not screaming these truths at the top of their lungs should not be taken seriously.
@@kingofelves9487 You right 100%. I didn't vote for Bernie, I just think he is a good dude who is generally true to his word. I also consider myself more of a centrist, and hoping that someday I get to see a non "left" or "right" president because I truly believe political parties are part of the issue for the polarization and the pure hate everyone has towards eachother nowadays. We are all humans, we should be able to talk without saying "you are an idiot." And come to a middle ground.
I saw him in 2015 in Columbus, OH; one of my favorite memories of that year. The atmosphere and speech was the most outstanding experience.
Amazing guy. All the way from Australia I was hoping that Bernie won the election.
Thank you Senator. Ordinary Russians are not evil. It’s their government that is. I have family both in Russia and Ukraine and this situation is so horrible I can’t even explain the pain I feel 😢
@@MrBASShunt3r Your logic is warped. Mind your language.
Be strong my syster, be strong.
@@joserobles7074 thank you ❤️
@@MrBASShunt3r that’s just so wrong on many levels!!!! You should be ashamed of yourself 😡
@oldones59 Says the guy without one iota of logic in his comment. What are you talking about?
THERE'S MY president. If this man had been elected in 2016 what a different place we would be living in. The right would have had an apocalyptic fit, but this man had been fighting for US citizens his entire career.
Bernie doesn’t give up unlike Democratic leadership failing to pass build back better and being silent on Democrats who killed it or are against popular policy. Pelosi, Hoyer, and Clyburn all need to go, they are so out of touch.
Bernie, man! What a clear communicator.
we need more men like Sanderts today. GLORY TO UKRAINE, FREEDOM FOR RUSSIA
i love this man,he never seems old to me,he has such strength and presence
Yes yes agree
May we always have a Bernie looking out for us all. 😊
I love BERNIE Sanders! He is my hero!!
The only thing Vlad is missing is 100 lbs of fat, a hover suit, and a bath of black goo.
I'd say he's missing a lead sandwich, but I'm kind of a bastard that way where autocratic ****heads are involved.
...and a little girl with a Gom-Jabar...! 😉
@@HayTatsuko Agreed. I'm hoping someone disposes of him and soon.
Gotta love Bernie. Great guy, glad he's on our side - meaning the American people, equality, justice, freedom, for our country & worldwide. True humanitarian & hero. Go Bernie!!!
Just remember Trump is not for the people. Like Putin-Trump is out for himself.
Great guy? He supported communist dictators . He's an evil piece of ###t who is telling you what you want to hear.
Thank you Bernie! Putin is not Russia! Respect to all the fighters against Putinism!!!
6 years later, still should have been Bernie.
@Alam natural : no we won't click on your stupid video of a river.

@John Wange No remorse. We took Biden cause he wasn't Trump
@@jojomakes watch him lose to trump in 2024. He is a dementia ridden old goon who has no idea where he is, let alone the fact that he’s president. Bernie was the one, a real one. Good morning.
@@jojomakes EXACTLY! These Chump cult followers are a different breed of people, and have single-handedly destroyed our country. "Buyers Remorse" give me a break!
@John Wange lol. Biden is a commy and raging racist.
Interesting how all these late night hosts were mocking Bernie relentlessly when he was running for office. But now that he isn't running they're all friendly to him.
It's almost like the hosts are all owned by people who would be threatened by a Sanders' presidency....
We needed to go after American oligarchs some time ago, since they share so much with Russia's.
Hush - one of those men is... Bernie.
@@flinch622 Ah yes, the American oligarch Bernie Sanders. Top 5 richest man in the world, amirite?
@@flinch622 An oligarch is a multi-billionaire who uses money to sway presidents or undermine the political system, and hoard power for self-interest.
@@alalalala57 Rich enough. But look: taking posession of money is dangerous given our progressive income tax structure - way more benefits can be accrued by controlling it, as in... the treasury [and crafting the rules to access it]. He only has to get past 60 others in the senate if a cloture speedbump appears - 300M citizens add up to nothing there. I wonder what the value of free lunches every day for decades is, or the list of perks [like travel] that others prop up? Every senator is living a $350k/yr lifestyle at a minimum, more if their husbands are gifted no-bid contracts. Is that 1% territory? I think it is.
Bernie, it was great hearing from you again. Loved what you had to say.
President Bernie 2024
Not just Americans, everyone is feeling how difficult this moment in History is. It is comforting tho to hear someone I admire, such as Bernie Sanders, to speak about this. Wish we had more politicians like him or AOC in Mexico.
@Laika24102007 is there another country you’d rather live in, I’m assuming you’re in the US, i could be wrong of course.
@Laika24102007 you obviously do not know how political matters are decided in the united states. bernie sanders voting record on military funding is clear, he has never supportes azov, hes a first generation jewish man whose entire extended family was murdered by hitler. dissenting voices exist in the american congress and his has consistently been one when it comes to imperialism, hatred, racism, bigotry, exploitation etc.
Let's ALWAYS remember this! Wars are fought by people like you and me to enforce the interests of a small elite. Russian, Ukrainian, American - every life is precious!
Absolutely correct.
Despite the missteps of the american military, the world is most certainly in a better place directly because of American intervention. We contained communism and brought the fall of the ussr. Just look at japan and south korea. When the US invades a country, we tried to rebuild that country. Sometimes it failed spectacularly, and clearly greed became involved in the middle east, which is a shame
Only Americans would give a politician a standing ovation.
I can't help but comparing the Russians watching RT not being told the truth to Americans watching Fox.
absolutely...crass manipulation and propaganda and fake news...they create a parallel reality...
Jane Sanders loves RT
Hats off to Sen. Bernie Sanders a hundred times! If we had more Congress members like him working for us in DC, our USA would be a much better place for all of us to live in, especially for the working class.
Now here’s Man who is consistent. He has more integrity than the last several White Houses…

Senator sees the true Russia! Thank you for your concern and support!
I love this man more than I could ever say. There's not enough words or time in one lifetime to properly describe how much I love Bernie.
He's not just an amazing person he is a role model, IMO.
yes! Love the inspiration and fire he brings! He really does give me hope.
I tear up when I see Bernie. We as a country really missed an opportunity. Thank you Stephen!
The Clinton campaign destroyed his opportunity.
I agree, Bernie is 10 times more intelligent and caring than our current and former president. We as a country really missed an opportunity!
@@shuffman8094 100% agree, AND the DNC.
Biden is a puppet and Bernie’s platform is being adopted since day one with disastrous results across the board. Just like Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.
Who do you think has us where we are?? What does Bernie have to offer-"free tuition" or free medical care? NOTHING is free...I can't understand why that escapes the left...yr after yr.
