Like the Vietnam War just without American troops. We're using Ukraine troops instead… Ukraine civilians are the defensive ones suffering the most. So unnecessary…
Nations are artificial, created by the capitalist class. They should be desolved.
Might = Right…. As the US has done and continues to do…
Historically, Ukraine was a country wkith Kiev a ckity over 1000 years ago, before there was a Russia.
Guess what Poland Was also a part of the Soviet union and guess what they haven't been attacked cause of NATO
Your definition of flustered is very different from mine, lol. I watched almost all of that interaction(not your snippet) & Blinken wasn't "flustered", what Rand said doesn't matter. Ukraine was once ruled by the Polish & Lithuanians & Hungary as well but that doesn't give them anymore rights to invade than it does Russia
Edit: spelling
American politicians – every nation has the right to decide their alliances and foreign policy.
Also American politicians – the Monroe Doctrine!
hey Rob think people should be able to chose their destiny you say then i assume your all for the Donetsk and Luhansk people right to self determination and you are against the Ukrainian regime for shelling its own people and starting this war
Why have peace talks with Russia, who invaded, if they’re having success against Russia? Ukraine wasn’t given much of a chance in defending itself.
The end people want to this war is Russia losing, not peace talks. When Russia leaves, not when they come to the peace table.
Ukraine was invaded, so, they’re not wrong to fight back.
Kim and Robbie look like they are going to prom together
Gonzalo Lira is a great journalist reporting the truth of what’s happening in Ukraine until the Ukraine’s arrested him!
Thank you for covering this
The US wants war to sell more arms. Zelensky wants peace and on May 9 Russia will declare victory.
It's easy to see who's going to win the military-industrial complex winds figure it out
That debate would really be worth while hearing in much more detail.
Robby!!!! Do you realize you just said that Russia could lose because they would be entangled for “potentially decades??????” Think about that!!!!
Robby instead of spending all the time in the mirror that you do before each show do some research on the topics you are discussing.
When has the US EVER involved themselves in war in a short period?
Why do we still need NATO when the Soviet Union broke up? Or is it because war means weapons,weapons means money and money translates to share holders.
I wonder if Rand Paul will say the same thing about Taiwan.
She is ok, but he don't think logically.
Zelenskyy got a staggering 70% of the vote on a platform for ending the war (which has been going on for eight years now) and making peace with the Russians. This would suggest that the popular will of Ukraine is in fact not to fight Russia to the death, but rathe to coexist with them. And it would also suggest that the general Ukrainian population understands that it is Ukraine that has been provoking the conflict, and could easily avoid it by stopping the provocations. And Zelenskyy's popularity dropped to 20% when he reneged on this and started aggressive military actions against the Russian areas of Ukraine and Crimea. We're also on shaky ground talking about "self-determination" when the whole war started as a consequence of a coup that we organized. Powerful foreign countries installing your govt is kind of the opposite of self-determination.
As far as I can tell, so far Russia's actions have been quite consistent with their stated war goals: preventing NATO membership and destroying Ukraine's ability to militarily threaten the Russian areas of Ukraine and Russia itself. If we're going to have an intelligent discussion about what might happen going forward, I think we need to at least acknowledge that this might actually be what the Russians are trying to do, rather than just state that they're obviously trying to absorb the entire country.
Rand Paul …I honestly see hope for America with Rand Paul there
You would be better served by comparing this to vietnam, both sides spoke the language look how that turned out
@Kim u got the story right, well at least there is a huge base who come to similar conclusions
Looking at the NATO expansion coming to the borders of Russia, Putin has a responsibility to protect the vast land of Russia. Remember, all these NATO members will have access to nukes.
The correct response to Rand was "so what?" What a sniveling little troll.
ZELENSKY is already asking for billions to rebuild Ukraine, Let him spend his personal wealth to rebuild, HE CAUSED THIS DISASTER !!! ANY politician that votes to give Ukraine another dime, should be voted OUT !!!!
In the eighties we accessed Russian military strength only to discover it was much less than we thought. If we don't have an enemy we cant spend billions on the military industrial complex. So we say Ukraine has the sovereign right to join nato and south America can become socialist like Argentina and the south can secede from the Union.
I can see Kim, that your opinion are, that also Finland where I'm born can be taken by Russia because HISTORICALLY we belonged earlier to Russia?!?!?! Then Mongols have all the rights to take Russia, as Russia was HISTORICALLY a part of their empire. This is completely a ridiculous opinion….we live in 2022 and not in HISTORY and we should not support, not even understand a power hungry DICTATOR who try to grab the sovereignty from other countries, by killing children, raping women and flattening whole towns to the ground, only to fulfill his dream of a new Soviet Union and his HISTORICAL views.
Who is going to win? Military Industrial Complex, their minions and their stockholders. it's disgusting.
Peace Talks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I didn't see any video of America distribution food medicine and others emergency humanitarian aid in Ukraine . what I seeing America sending modern weapons . after second world war every Americans president war criminal . america still living 500 years back only difference is new dress up democracy . only war anyhow
Kim pretends to care about Ukrainians but she is also using them as a political tool. The stories and angles she takes says it all. Why not interview a refugee?
You have boring veteran anchors teaching new anchors to be boring!
Not necessarily referring to this video!!!
It was the FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT of Cuba to install Soviet nuclear missiles in their territory.
— Blinken
Of course these countries "have a right" to join NATO, but Cuba also "had a right" to allow Russia to put missiles on their island in 1962. Just because a country has a right to do something doesn't mean it is a prudent decision, especially when it concerns escalating a conflict between two nuclear-armed countries.
Kim is saying Ukraine has not tried negotiate. On the contrary, they were ready to sign a lot of the demands of Russia including not joining NATO but this is was a land grab from Putin all along. It had little to do with NATO and I totally disagree with you Putin not wanting to take KYIV at the beginning of the war. You don’t send your best special forces and best hardware as some kind diversion like many people are selling. The fact is Putin wanted to take the whole of Ukraine but failed to take KYIV with big price especially some of his elite unites like 331st regiment from Kastroma and now that he came to the realization that KYIV is hard to take he wants to grab whatever he can of Ukraine 🇺🇦 before he stops. What he is not counting on is that Ukraine will for sure continue fighting for every inch of their land and possibly continue hitting targets in Russia as long as they are capable and as long as Russia 🇷🇺 is in Ukrainian territory. The issue about Ukraine being divided country before Russia 🇷🇺 invaded is grossly misrepresented. Like many countries, Ukraine had ideological differences but they never fired at each other until Russia 🇷🇺 invaded Crimea and armed rebels in Donbas. If you want to sound credible then you should may be report all facts.
Bull Austin: speed for war has always been a trail of Biden soup, all messed up ingredients and no taste of sense. It is like lawlessness in Afghanistan: Russia is a lawless country as China and all those that follows lawlessness. We cannot win without GOD, Almighty One. GOD is the GREAT, I AM, forevermore, not man. HALLELUJAH, AMEN.
I thought Robbie was supposed to be a libertarian
