I’m sure Russian Facebook , twitter instagram all still running fine lol
3:22 Chechenia is not the "former Soviet territory" in the same manner as other listed territories as it a remained part of Russia after thebreakup of USSR. The others did not. Subtle propagation of (one of many) Western wet dreams: further breakup of Russia. Kinda gives some credence to Putin's address in which he invoked Western attempts to make it true as justification for the attack.
I think Putin could have played The Night King in Game of Thrones, he has the look plus the cold eyes.
What does your terrorists president Bush, obama, trump, biden? what did they do in middle-east, africa? they killing millions of people in that region. They destroying in that region. Westerners are terrorists.
There is a january 6….you lost me there bud. I'm joining Russia.
He's a biorobot that does what has to. We all are. We are actually slaves of the soviet regime from 1950's when they invented mind control technology. The plan was built from old times.
Put in over
Russia must be eliminated, if it’s mutual annihilation so be it. Think we’re afraid? We’re used to death and killing. It’s our way of life in the US. You’re never safe anywhere so we all arm ourselves constantly. I only wish Patton had gotten his wish at the end of WW2. Russia must fall and Putin must hang
come.on russia we are proud of you putin….I am proud to be the black russian…we will bring the ussr back
Of course it's a Mafia state
Uh, the Cabal is steering that ship. Along with every other ship in the sea. Where do you think that double headed eagle comes from. Silly question that was. They can accomplish many things under the fog of war. Timing could not be more convenient here. And always remember and never forget their motto is Ordo Ab Chao.
He is like hitter bottom line
If given the opportunity I have no doubts trump would act in the same manner. Yesterday he called Putin a genius and blamed the invasion on the “stolen election†that never happened.
Putin: I play chess not checkers
Denzel: stop stealing my movie lines
Vlad the lad! what a sassy little barstard
American big mouth.they want to split Russia to smaller countries for easier control
The words " Jewish settlers in occupied Palestine protest against Russian occupation of Ukraine" should be inscribed on the tombstone of irony"
CJ Werleman.
Putin lowkey gives me Hitler vibes 🥴
Putin is just Kim Jon un with testicle
Pride and ego are the reasons for this. Lord caress the hearts of these people who have given turmoil to man.
Well, this is the 'West's story'
I want to hear Russians' own side of the story. The Western media has misled the world for decades. It's appalling and it's dangerous… No more!!!
It is not just Russia who is to be seen as the culprit here. Why does NATO want to expand all over Europe and surround Russia on its western border? The major intention of expanding NATO is to deploy the troops there. As we have seen in the past, US starts with extending a 'Support' and then goes ahead into full fledged deployment of troops.
Putin will feel threatened as the US has always opposed Russia. He will be worried about his security. I agree killing thousands is not justifiable. But US has been doing this for decades by extending their so called 'support' in the Middle East and Africa.
US have always called the communist ideology as terrorism. More than half of the US population believes that being communist means you are a terrorist. Is this right? The tension was initiated because of US.
Afterall, why does the US have to come in between every country that has some sort of internal issues going on? Will US be okay with Mexico joining Russia and setting up military bases? Think people!
Thank you for the documentary, Putin is 69 born 10/7/1952, he knows he doesn’t
have much time left, since the collapse of the USSR in 1991.
time for Russia to elect someone different for the incoming election and I Stand For Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Putin's soul is required in hell.
When you don't learn from your History you are doomed to repeat it.
ZBIGNEW BRZEZINSKI
dream of owning Russia
Why is everyone so shocked. History repeats it’s self.
Putin is Donald Trump's dominatrix Vladdy daddy!!
Someone must help "HIM" to go to Hell….. and quick Please !!!!!!!! No,.. sorry, this guy has no right to life. Nuclear? He boy, are you sick in mind? "hands off" MY kids yes…
My grandfather and I have been watching this on the news non-stop. He turns to me and says "I've seen this kind of thing before, I was drafted shortly to WW2. Never thought I would see it happen twice in my lifetime"
Why would anyone go back to a country where they know they won't be welcomed back into for becoming an Anti-Putin Activist. The activist could've applied for citizenship or a visa in Germany instead after recovering.
Psychopath Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union.
