And Trump’s in bed with Putin. Disgraceful, despicable.

In his comment about the "axis of evil," Caolin forgot to mention that China has provided tons of military technology to Russia that has been the true enabler of Russia being able to continue it's war

Great coverage of what is happening in Ukraine… not hearing much in the media and press as they focus on the mid east coverage and trumps daily antics…

All the blood and money we wasted on South Vietnam and Afghanistan and this is basically the most worthy ally we've had in my lifetime and we won't do the smart and honorable thing and help them save their independence and fight their fight. Trump and MAGA have made us allies with the Rogue countries of the world.

While people are distracted, Trump’s goons are floating a partition plan…of Ukraine. https://euromaidanpress.com/2025/04/14/americas-new-ukraine-map-looks-like-putin-drew-it-himself/

I am totally with the Ukrainians that US is not living up to obligations but the nuclear weapons on their territory after the USSR broke up would not protect them since they didn't have control over them.

Please, can we hear from young Mr. Robertson regularly and often. I can't speak for everyone, but for me, Ukraine has never left my mind. It is one of the most important stories out there.

Is this the Caolan Robertson that used to be a far right filmmaker who made a documentary about the genocide of white farmers in South Africa that never happened?

Biden is every bit to blame for this as Trump. His administration never gave Ukraine what they needed when they needed it. It was always too little too late and a slow walk to hell. And always because they were afraid Putin would nuke someone or start WW3. NATO is equally guilty, but I do think that NATO, at least their European members, are waking up to the fact that they need to step up the aid to Ukraine if they want to prevent Russia invading them next. Personally, I will never forgive Biden for doing the slow walk of weapons to Ukraine. Had they given Ukraine everything they asked for when they asked for it, this war would have been over a year ago and Ukraine would have won. Putin’s nuke posturing was and is a bluff. He’s a big bully coward just like Trump.

I agree Biden didn't do enough to help Ukraine. But I don't think it was primarily because he was afraid of Putin's nuclear saber rattling. I think some in the administration were actively opposed to a Ukrainian victory because they feared it would lead to the collapse of Russia, which in turn could lead to nuclear proliferation. So, their goal was to maintain a balance and prevent either side from winning.

I'm sorry but that'a a completely backword logic.

If the United States is deterred in the face of nuclear threat and so much so that even the most mild conventional weapons use is forbidden, why would any US ally trust there actually being American nuclear umbrella?

If you teach an agressive imperialistic nuclear power that nuclear threats work, those will be done more and it increases the risk of a)nuclear use b)proliferation.

What Biden did emboldened Russia. Of course he wasn't as bad as Trump is but he too increased the risk of NATO-Russia war.

Everything the US sent to Israel to protect them from Iranian missiles could and should have been given to Ukraine. Not because I don't want to protect Israelis, but because if the Israeli government hadn't bombed Iran, they wouldn't have needed protection.
