Just left Ukraine for the first time in a while and I get asked on public radio why I should have sympathy for Russians This is the problem with media and why no one understands what’s going on in Ukraine. This is what we’re up against with the mainstream...

Brilliant, sir. 1000 percent correct. Frankly, how you held your temper is amazing, but you're a professional and answered the question clearly and accurately.

"Both-side-ism" at its worst. The good is not so good, and the bad is not so bad. Thanks for correcting this droll, smug POS.

How stupid and ignorant you should be to ask this question. It’s like to ask: do you have a sympathy to intruders who are in your home, barricade themself in other room, YOUR ROOM, and want to kill you and steal your kids and your property. WHAT A ACTUAL F*CK?

Unbelievable that he asked you that. Has he not seen what happened at Mariupol? How Viktoria's body was sent back, mutilated?! The video of russians castrating a Ukrainian POW?!?! These are all intimate, intense acts. Profilers will tell you acts like these display personal animus and rage. Russians despise Ukrainians for being Ukrainians, for resisting, for being the inheritors of the Kyivan Rus legacy. How can you claim to be a journalist or on top of current events and not know this? I am livid.

Thank you for presenting a clear picture of what is happening in Ukraine 🇺🇦. The world's people should take the time to understand what the conflict is about. It's a Putin genocide. 🇺🇦🙏💔🌎

"Different language" first of all this is not a war of "languages" (Russian propaganda sometimes tries to present it that way). Secondly, many Ukrainian soldiers on the frontline speak the same language, but they don’t want to be Russian, suppressed, and subjugated by Moscow.

I do find it sad that the Brits didn't have more empathy for the German lads flying over London in 1940. I mean, they were just young blokes following orders, weren't they? It seems so sad that people cheered when their Heinkels and Messerschmidts got shot down.

Great job Caolan Also the interviewer said "just speaking a different language" not "maybe speaking" It's another reason why know the "brotherly nation" canard is a ruzzian lie, because when they find russian language speaking Ukrainians, they torture and murder them.

In one of your recent videos, when you lied about Navalny, I assumed you had just misspoken in the heat of the moment. But now it is clear that you are shamelessly lying and spreading disinformation about Navalny’s stance on the war. Why are you doing this? This is disgraceful.

No sympathy whatsoever for Russian invaders, rapists, and murderers!

Asking why we should feel sympathy for ruzzians is like asking us to feel sympathy for Epstein, not his victims.

When you meet a Russian, and they know you are Ukrainian, they never ask how you are doing or say sorry for what their country is doing. Never show empathy. They just don't give a f☆♤k...

The Russian soldiers are not 'Just like Ukrainians' Russian soldiers invaded Ukraine to murder Ukrainians and rape and pillage that which they conquer. So no. They are not nice guys. Every Russian soldier is a mass murderer. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

Dude, Navalny was NOT happy about the Russian invasion. While it's true that most of the Russian soldiers and citizens have little to no empathy for Ukrainians. Keep stating that Navalny never contested Putin's invasion is simply not true.

Must be annoying to get all these silly questions. Whenever a dumbass reporter/pocaster/pundit or whatever asks "why can't you just get along" you have to make them remember what they've seem to forgot: mass killings, attrocities, tortures. Some people make it hard to stay calm.

🚨John Mearsheimer: Why Ukraine Is Doomed 🚨URSULA, KAJA, ACTOR, MIKE PENCE, RUTTI FRUTTI ARE Living in a DREAM WORLD. ▶️It's a dysfunctional rump state. ▶️It's lost at least 20% of its territory. ▶️It's suffered enormous physical destruction. ▶️Large numbers of people have left the country. ▶️Huge numbers of people have died. ▶️This is a disaster. 🚨I would strongly encourage people not to believe what they read in the mainstream media about how well Ukraine is doing in this war and how poorly Russia is doing, because I think if anything, exactly the opposite is happening. 📑So if the war ended today, Ukraine would have lost about 20% of its territory. Not only has Ukraine lost all this territory, but, there's virtually no chance it's gonna become a member of NATO. First of all, NATO is a badly damaged institution as a result of this war. Serious damage has been done to NATO, because of the Ukraine war, and you see this very clearly in America's interest in reducing its presence in Europe, reducing its influence in NATO. And basically letting the Europeans play a much larger role, in terms of running the alliance. So I think the alliance is in trouble. But furthermore, there's no way you're gonna get a European consensus to bring Ukraine into NATO. And furthermore, given the state of Ukraine, given the damage that's been done to Ukraine, Ukraine will be in no position, to enter NATO or the EU for that matter. So again, you end the war today, Russia controls a huge slice of Ukrainian territory in the east. And furthermore, it has succeeded in preventing Ukraine from joining NATO. Finally, huge destruction has been done to Ukraine. Estimates are that it'll take 600 billion dollars. Just think about that, 600 billion dollars to repair all the damage that has been done to Ukraine. And this doesn't take out ... take into account the demographic consequences, all the people who have fled Ukraine and will never come back, all the Ukrainians who have died. Before this war started, it was commonplace for people to talk about Ukraine being in a demographic death spiral. If anything, that situation has only been exacerbated. So in terms of where we are today in the war, were that war to end today, I think it's quite clear that Ukraine is in a disastrous situation. And I think there is no chance that Ukraine can reverse this situation. Anybody who believes, that, Ukraine can recapture territory that it lost, that it can wage a strategic bombing campaign that can bring the Russians to their knees and get them to negotiate an agreement, get the Russians to negotiate an agreement, that is favorable to Ukraine and reverses much of the damage that has been done, is living in a dream world. This is just not gonna happen. The best that the Ukrainians can hope for at this point in time is freezing the status quo. And as I say, if you freeze the status quo, this is a disastrous outcome for Ukraine. It's a dysfunctional rump state. It's lost at least 20% of its territory. It's suffered enormous physical destruction. Large numbers of people have left the country. Huge numbers of people have died. This is a disaster. But the real problem is that this war is not over with, that the Russians are on the march. I do not deny for one second that the Russians are moving slowly. But when you look at the strategic bombing campaign and the damage that's being done to Ukraine, and you take into account the fact that Russia is capturing territory on the front lines and it is killing more and more Ukrainians, again, you wanna remember that General Budanov says that, Ukraine needs 30 000 new men each month. You understand that as bleak as the situation is now, it only gets worse with the passage of time. So when all is said and done, I would strongly encourage people not to believe what they read in the mainstream media about how well Ukraine is doing in this war and how poorly Russia is doing, because I think if anything, exactly the opposite is happening. Thank you very much!
