He said something to a similar effect during the escalation to annexation in 2014. Satellite images of the troops moving off is much more valuable than Putin's word.
Don't trust these guys. I know Russian and saw Putin's speech online. That is what he said (the troops will return to their bases). Seizing Ukraine is not a problem for Putin. The problem is to feed tens of millions of unemployed and poor pensioners in Ukraine. Putin said he would not tolerate a NATO missile 250 miles from Moscow (Ukraine). NATO is playing with fire here.

Is expention of NATO after end of cold war era is it not aggression ? What's your thinking as a peace loving people ? If any country asked for their sequrity gurenty to any block is it wrong ? What's your thinking ?
Russia annexed a part of ukraine in the recent years, a place called crimea if you didn't know already. Russia is the threat and aggressor here, not ukraine and NATO.
NATO grazing in Russian pasture escalated the crisis to the current level!! If at all Russia invades, Ukrainian forces will flee like US troops when taliban gain grounds in Afghanistan last year!!!
Not rocket science here: Ukraine will lay down arms and walk from the massive armies that are positioned to enter their border. This is the choice that will be made - period. (All other perspective is clearly not in order but of chaos)
The ground is soft so wheeled vehicles have to stay on roads. Tanks have to stay near wheeled vehicles to refuel and resupply. The border with Belarus is a swamp that also is not frozen. Ukrainian troops have been fighting Russian separatists for years and are battle ready. I do not agree with your assessment.
Finland hasn’t been in NATO to date and they had ZERO problems with the USSR post-WW2 (or Russia since 1991) thanks to ‘finlandization’ which made it possible for the Finns to become a capitalist country and have close ties with the West. Finland was very smart, realistic, determined and forward-looking back then, when it decided to stay neutral and root out anti-Soviet sentiment. It was a genius move. So hopefully these qualities haven’t gone to waste today. Neutrality is the key for their successful relationship with Russia. Is Ukraine (formerly known as Little Russia) as smart and forward-looking as Finland? I’m afraid it’s not.
Hmmm the military "exercise" will end on the 20th of february, which is coincidentally the last day of the winter olympics in China. China has shown great support to Russia, so if Russia would invade during the olympics it would offend China greatly. So veeeery weird that the "exercise" will "end" on the last day of the olympics. Very weird indeed...
Great analysis but why they waited so long to invade. If Russia had the intention to invade Ukraine they would have done it a long time ago quickly and effectively.
⬇️⬇️⬇️🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🪆🪆🪆 *Russian European part covers 40% of Europe, Russian culture is essentially European (Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff etc), Russians are Slavic and European just like Poles, Czechs, Serbs etc, Russia originally emerged FULLY within Europe, next to Finland and Estonia, and only centuries later it explored and settled in Siberia, so Russia does have a HUGE place in Europe.* 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🪆🪆🪆💪🏻💪🏻 💪🏻
Ukraine should declare itself a neutral state with no ambition to join NATO, and formally declare Crimea as part of Russia, in return for Russia withdrawing troops, and signing a treaty to not hold any further drills near it's borders. The stakes are too high now. Russia won't back down, and neither will NATO, so Ukraine needs to take responsibility for itself and its citizens and take the lead in de-escalation. Putin would rather we all go down together than he going down alone.
Psalms 46.9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariot in the fire.
yeah, this is bad. not for Putin though. Putin is riding high. his plan is going widely unchallenged. Props to those Ukrainians on the ground fighting back. They are the heroes, not Zelensky.
Yawn. If Putin was going to invade he would've already done it months ago. He's just parading around trying to force concessions. The EU should look him straight in his soulless eyes and tell him flat out "Our offer is this.. nothing. Not even Ukraine's NATO fee which we would appreciate if you would pay personally."

Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy? One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind. I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist. So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark. In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all. The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise. Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct. Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.
I took the time to read your words. You make some very good points. I keep holding on the notion that 95% of the world's people are kind, honest, and open minded. Sadly, our so-called leaders take advantage of this to varying degrees. Some countries are beyond hope, and others are doing pretty dam good. Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Australia and New Zealand have pretty good governments There are others I'm leaving out that are just as good. Stay informed, read multiple views on the same story and issues. Cross reference everything. I know you do this, but some on here don't. They just hear and see what seems to reflect their world view. Anyway - you've already covered this.

He said something to a similar effect during the escalation to annexation in 2014. Satellite images of the troops moving off is much more valuable than Putin's word.
Lmao perfect instance of "being a sheep"
Just gonna believe everything a rogue nations leader "says"
Don't trust these guys. I know Russian and saw Putin's speech online. That is what he said (the troops will return to their bases). Seizing Ukraine is not a problem for Putin. The problem is to feed tens of millions of unemployed and poor pensioners in Ukraine. Putin said he would not tolerate a NATO missile 250 miles from Moscow (Ukraine). NATO is playing with fire here.

You’re in no position to tell us what to do, get a grip on yourself. Considering that NATO had 5 (!!!) waves of expansion since 1991. It’s the US/NATO that has been crawling up to our borders and ending up at our doorstep, not the other way round. We’ve had enough. It’s a threat to our security indeed and we will do whatever it takes to protect our country from America’s expansionism. And the fact that China is on our side is quite invigorating, I must admit.
I don't wait it that way.

Not rocket science here: Ukraine will lay down arms and walk from the massive armies that are positioned to enter their border. This is the choice that will be made - period. (All other perspective is clearly not in order but of chaos)
The ground is soft so wheeled vehicles have to stay on roads. Tanks have to stay near wheeled vehicles to refuel and resupply. The border with Belarus is a swamp that also is not frozen. Ukrainian troops have been fighting Russian separatists for years and are battle ready.
I do not agree with your assessment.
So how's this statement turned out so far??????😠
@Slots 3000
Finland hasn’t been in NATO to date and they had ZERO problems with the USSR post-WW2 (or Russia since 1991) thanks to ‘finlandization’ which made it possible for the Finns to become a capitalist country and have close ties with the West. Finland was very smart, realistic, determined and forward-looking back then, when it decided to stay neutral and root out anti-Soviet sentiment. It was a genius move. So hopefully these qualities haven’t gone to waste today. Neutrality is the key for their successful relationship with Russia. Is Ukraine (formerly known as Little Russia) as smart and forward-looking as Finland? I’m afraid it’s not.
@@wayneace172 your comment doesn't make sense
Hmmm the military "exercise" will end on the 20th of february, which is coincidentally the last day of the winter olympics in China. China has shown great support to Russia, so if Russia would invade during the olympics it would offend China greatly. So veeeery weird that the "exercise" will "end" on the last day of the olympics. Very weird indeed...
Great analysis but why they waited so long to invade. If Russia had the intention to invade Ukraine they would have done it a long time ago quickly and effectively.
Now it makes sense to me that we just secured our border and Donbass during Olympics
And the 23rd is defenders of motherland in Russia. A national holiday that was celebrated on a different day only to be changed by Putin to the 23rd.

Both side soilder should just put tools down and both president of this country goes on one on one without use of weapons involved.
Ukraine should declare itself a neutral state with no ambition to join NATO, and formally declare Crimea as part of Russia, in return for Russia withdrawing troops, and signing a treaty to not hold any further drills near it's borders. The stakes are too high now. Russia won't back down, and neither will NATO, so Ukraine needs to take responsibility for itself and its citizens and take the lead in de-escalation. Putin would rather we all go down together than he going down alone.
No we shouldn't. We allready had have such guarantees in change for all nuclear weapons, and where we end now?! Only NATO can pacifise Russia

Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.
I took the time to read your words. You make some very good points. I keep holding on the notion that 95% of the world's people are kind, honest, and open minded. Sadly, our so-called leaders take advantage of this to varying degrees. Some countries are beyond hope, and others are doing pretty dam good. Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Australia and New Zealand have pretty good governments There are others I'm leaving out that are just as good. Stay informed, read multiple views on the same story and issues. Cross reference everything. I know you do this, but some on here don't. They just hear and see what seems to reflect their world view. Anyway - you've already covered this.
The Pentagon they've went Trans Lite,you really think that they will fight?
