American veteran writer Noctis Draven - "Ukraine and the West are extremely concerned about Russia's reaction to the Moscow massacre. The truth is that Russia treats Ukraine with caution. Russia has 100 times more power than it used against Ukraine. Russia has so far considered the situation in Ukraine as pest control. Moreover, the pest was Zelensky belonging to the West and his Nazi army. When dealing with pests, you don't burn down the whole house, you expel the pests. The West is concerned that Russia will not be able to hold back for long if there is an escalation like the Moscow massacre. It won't take Russia two years to destroy Ukraine. If she wanted to, then in two weeks Ukraine would have turned into a history lesson for Eastern European children. It would be a crater in the ground."

No, the US started it in 2012 when Obama/Biden/Nuland stages a coup with the help of Georgian snipers and authentic Nazis that ended democracy and a war when the Nazis tried to invade the Donbas region. Russian speakers were stripped of all right so they could not vote, all broadcast was changed from Russian, a language everyone knew to Ukrainian which was spoken mostly in the west where there was less population. Russia did not enter until 2022 when the newly independent LPR and DPR had legally declared independent and 17,000 Russian speakers has been murdered in the east. Almost all the war has been east of the Dnieper River which is legally Russia. Everything you have been told by the media and US is dead wrong, completely fabricated but so has every war or invasion by the US. Just since 2000 the US has staged coups or invade 202 times and not one was reported honestly.

Russia is more pure democratic than any NATO country In a typical federal election there is no barrier to running, the 40 main parties plus individuals can run without any money. All candidates get free equal broadcast airtime and all are invited to nationally televised debates. The second most popular party is the oldest Communist Party because the elderly still favor communism but everyone else prefers one of the liberal democracy parties so the main difference is specific policies. Putin has won due to every person you talk to agrees that their lives and the country has improved every single year, the only country where the people actually see increases in rights and services. The people hating Russia have not been to Russia, know only western claims about it It is safe, very low crime, has more access to culture than any country on earth, great free medical care, very low cost of living, great cheap public transportation so it is faster getting somewhere then driving, 58 min paid vacation days, no taxes.....sales tax is included in the listed price, nothing is deducted from the payment for work, the employer pays the tax, long paid family leave, grants to buy larger homes if they are having a baby. Most people over 20 own their home clear of debt, twice the percentage of population with college degrees than the US, and no debt for university, police who do not kill people, the last time police killed anyone in a country of 150,000,000 was 4 years ago. Crime is so low that in 2017 73 prisons were closed due to lack of inmates. All the 200 native ethnicities that make up the population get a long, no homelessness etc. Doctors even do house calls, free. It is very easy and cheap to start a business. The population is highly educated and highly cultured, healthy and if you have ever seen a Russian woman and don't fall in love, check your pulse, you are clinically dead. If you see someone fat or badly dressed, you know they are tourists

somebody please explain to Austin that Ukraine has upheld its elections and is imprisoning & torturing those who criticize its government and so therefore it is not really a democratic nation

True even if Ukraine is fully in the right. Legally the west will be funding a foreign dictatorship. Not exactly the look I want for my country.

Hmmm. Rouge nation? Sounds like dictator alright over there
It's a money laundering racket
Stop sending our damn hard earned money to Ukraine!
For a US politician/military explaining what constitutes victory or loss in military conflict since 1945 must be the hardest intellectual task yet!
No more money to Ukraine
Ukr is about to end😂
They speak as if they are losing money yet they are actually investing. Also the problem is that to them this is about winning and not saving lives, if negotiations started today I guarantee not losing life is victory.
Most politicians are not honest enough to give a direct answer bcos they themselves do not want to lose their status at all so they need to keep playing these kind of games until something comes in favour of them
And that's why Russia will accept nothing less than unconditional surrender from Ukraine... Austin admitted the money is going straight in the pockets of the M.I.C. They don't give a Rat's Ass about Ukraine .....War is a Racket....
A lunatic mind cannot answer a simple question...a you have a madman in charge of Defense....the country must be CRAZY!
Absolutely shameful us administration.
Administration not able to have any clarity about war, financial burden, what not, not an idea of victory....nice, legislature slowly spins from stones!
....asking the right questios....👍👍👍
You’re right

This so called Aid Package is all about the Biden Admin. wanting to prolong this loser war, a bottomless pit which will cost countless more lives and wealth...until after the election of course
Now that's how it should be..everyone must be held accountable.
So the defense minister of the United States is literally saying that the money for Ukraine is spent in the United States for weapons and thus it is in the interest of the United States to continue funding the war. If this is not evil I don't know what else is.
independent country, but if they US+NATO does not like the government of any country. They will interfere and remove any leader of any country if they don't like. Just like what happen in LIBYA, Iraq and even in the Philippines during Ferdinand Marcos era.
Austin couldn't even define a win strategy for a game of Risk. Just look at the guy.. This is america's man leading the charge here.
The honesty and intelligence presented by Secretary Austin is a joy to watch. The man is role model for morality and humanity. I am being somewhat sarcastic…
Keep sending money aid to ukraine for war but not sure hownits gonna win against russia. Ukraine might have more money in the long run but populations decreases and land cannot take back. So its a lose for ukraine what ever might happen
Keep spending monies that the U.S. doesn't have to throw down the old rabbit hole. Ukraine is losing and will lose.
Ce sénateur est excellent ! 👍
As a Russian, I am very surprised that so many Americans understand that the reason for the war is that Russia cannot allow a NATO military base 600 km from Moscow from a security point of view. Imagine a Russian-Chinese military base 600 km from Washington. Thank you, adequate Americans, you are not our enemies, we love you.
No!US and NATO won the war in Ukraine in pockets....in battlefield?you'll knew who?
NATO is loosing and someone needs to tell them about the news

Question on how 'Victory' look like in Ukraine can only be answered meaningfully by President Zelensky,not by an American secretary of defense.
“What does victory look like”? IT DOESN’T!
Écoutez-nous bien, ils ne font que contredire ce que la Russie a gagné en Ukraine, la Russie ne s'en prend pas au peuple ukrainien car ils sont même amis et frères depuis 8 siècles, au final, la contradiction Occident contre Ukraine ne produit rien du tout, Russie il faut conquérir la puissance occidentale en faveur de l'Ukraine, sinon c'est comme ça. 64 pays, avec pour leader les États-Unis, tous n'ont pas réussi à repousser la Russie ne serait-ce que d'un mètre. Les États-Unis occidentaux doivent mettre fin à leur théorie contre la Russie et l'Ukraine, etc. Eh bien, les États-Unis devraient sortir de là pour devenir une puissance dans le monde. le monde et son hégémonie ont complètement disparu.
Sounds like Afghanistan 2.0.

The US occupied Afghanistan for twenty years and was building civil infrastructure during that time. The US lost 2,000 soldiers in those twenty years. Ukraine on the other hand has only been going on for three years and already the Russians lost 100,000 soldiers. Calling Ukraine just like Afghanistan is laughable. For context, 9,000 Americans are murdered in American cities every year. It was safer for a twenty year old American to go to Afghanistan than to live in Chicago, Detroit, Memphis, St. Louis, Washington D.C. etc...

Do you believe that the US should be defeated?--Are YOU rooting for RuZZia to win?
claiming victory is delusional. They need professional personal help
In Germany we say : " Alles hat ein Ende, nur die Wurst hat zwei ". This translates literally into ''Everything has an end, only the sausage has two. '' The English version of this proverb is: ''All things must come to an end"
No $ for crooks in Ukraine
