SecBlinken is a disgrace for the US diplomacy. mikepompeo 💪🏼

I don’t understand why CNN is trying to do the same thing with Ukraine as they did with Afghanistan. America was told to make plans to leave Ukraine, Ukraine is not at war, they can leave every hour on the hour, they also have the right to stay and it’s not the president’s fault.

Let's forcibly send the oath keepers and proud boys there so they can finally stop pretending playing war and see how well do in actual combat.

KremlinRussia_E now sleeping, I see what they saying no comments , he does not take it seriously and doing what are russian future goal. I appreciate president putin. I m admire of vladimir putin.

If Ukrainians are the Brethren of Russia according to Putin, why would you threaten them with military force? If that's how he treats his friends, one could only imagine how he treats his foes.

American MSM once again drumming for war. Good luck folks.

I hope this is all a bad dream.

Incoming WW3 memes again…..

You 'need' the war.. The private western central bank scheme is failing....There needs to be another catalyst to keep it going another 40-50 years...

I'm so sick of this crap. Here we go again! Time for another bullshit war.

Yooooooo. And here I am in Kyiv not stressing lol

💚💜💚💜💚

😂😂😂

Good job, Tony. Absolutely the right move at this time. Kudos.

Biden and Blinken's word are about as strong as piece of wet paper

👏👏👏👏👏💜💚💜💚

Oh God the sky is falling.

Both Russia n China pay no respect to the established world order n always want to invade other countries. The West should take strong action to punish them! StandWithUnkraine StandWithTaiwan

U.S has always been making war policy. You're the ones who bring hunger and misery to the world. NoWar

The UAE also no longer safe for anyone . Till the US-backed Saudi's led coalitions stop their daily attacks & War crimes on Yemen since 2015 - 2022

Biden running again?

To clipout a piece of Cakremea is different from demanding whole chunk of Kievia.

Another endless war, thanks, Brandon!

The Peoples of Ukraine and the Peoples of Russia will have nearly zero issues after NICs and HCS. I do not believe this conflict to be a concern whatsoever. They will get along very well. If DPR and LPR stand to be popular ideas after NICs and HCS, they will be just fine too.

Wish they had shown the same concerns for Palestine too. Double standards!!

Pre trump this would have begun to unite Americans. Now we have a Russian propaganda machine, fox and Carlson is pushing putin and orbon's agenda of fascism is good.

Imagine thinking that 81 million people voted for an alzheimers patient, if that really is the case then I guess we get what we deserve.

Wonder what stocks Pelosi and Crenshaw are buying and selling this week

Nothing new. During Beijing Olympic games in 2008 USA did the same with Georgia. Now they want to do the same with Ukraine. February 6, 2022 is close. Cannot believe that people from CIA use the same crap again. It's not about Russia, it is about USA, who needs war for Biden

No shit but trump was the problem? Looks like cbs abc cnn got the wrong guy hired.

This is horrible! This is how Wars started and Start! One country wanting to own another!!! Russia will keep going… does a child just want only one candyNo! POTUS JustinTrudeau UN_Enable I truly hope Putin is stopped! UkraineCrisis

Let's go Brandon you will fuck up more i believe in you

Anybody with any common sense sees what's going on. This was pushed under Obama. Central Bank and elites have to make it appear we are in war so that way they can push us into their agenda. Biden has a hand in that corruption.

The new variant of the virus = AmeriKKKans. We need to stop them.

US out of Europe ! Leave us alone ! Warmongers !

You have to evacuate immediately, the invasion may come from the sea, things are out of control Putin challenges the world and threatens theUkrainian people

I guess WW3 then...

Another Biden surrender!!
