None of us want to go to war with Russia. They have powerful nuclear weapons. This would be horrific. I hope this war stops soon and does not escalate. 🙏
Imagine nowadays Putin is miserable and if he gets suicidal he will take everyone with him 🙉
Only deterrence is many boots on ground in Turkey and Poland if he steps one foot past Ukraine unleash hell.
Putin has respected the rules and asked for the security of his nation , Ukraine should not join NATO, the later bombarded Serbia some years ago without a mandate from the UN.
It’s coming. No way around. Scariest part are nukes will be involved this time around.
Absolutely well said.
Can't we send planes to Poland without breaking the NATO, like a lend lease deal making Ukraine the owners?
Russia sold arms to India, does that make Russia an enemy of India's enemies?
The North Vietnamese bought Soviet and Chinese weapons. But America didn't turn directly on thos two countries?
I like nuclear war
World war 3 is in the beginning stages
World War 3 will be coordinated by different autocratic regimes.
1)Putin against EU and USA
2)China against Taiwan, Asia Pacific.
3)North Korea against S Korea and Japan.
That's how world war 2 started.
With Time these dictators can escape to the space station when they nuked earth.
This guy gets it, talking s**t about Putin does nothing, feelings don't win wars, sending in the military professionals to quell the issue is how its done. Finally a real perspective on what's going on in Ukraine, well done.
Russia: starts ww3

WW3 is a great idea, everybody loves a trilogy
Not true. The Cuban Missile Crisis, the 1979 computer bug that told the US that Russia had launched missiles and the US almost launched for real, the Soviet sub commander who was mistakenly told to launch but didn't, the Soviet nuke missile commander who got wrong info from a satellite and was told to launch but didn't, 1983 Abel Archer Exercise, and there's one or two more. "The closest we've been to WW3"?!?!? Wow, for a general you don't know much history.

WWIII already started about 2 months ago in Ukraine. The US and NATO is making sure it breeds well.
Good. Let it all end, erase humanity. We all deserve to disappear.
Finally!,someone who speaks common sense.
This title is complete clickbait.
He said this is the closest it's been in his 35 years of service. This then would exclude incidents such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the tensions during the early 1980s.
What’s the purpose of NATO?
