This retired colonel was clearly threatened by the Kremlin after being honest. No doubt not only he but probably his family were either threatened, or even arrested, after his initial comments. That is the terrible consequence of living under the rule of a despotic, psychopathic, murderous dictator like Putin. Slava Ukraiyini. Heroyam Slava. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
PEACE PACT BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE. WHY ? By mutual agreement, we decide to stop everything immediately on the battlefields A pact of solidarity and mutual aid will be signed by two parties while safeguarding the free political choice – internal and external – of each. In detail : * This pact (1st part) formally guarantees for two peoples: the no-aggression,the indestructible friendship, a common defense, an economic exchange, cultural diplomatic favored, Which meets the requirement of the Russians. * This pact (2nd part) also guarantees the total independence of each person. Who is free to develop his political lines and to act as he wishes without asking the authorization of the other. On condition of strictly respecting the first part of this pact. Which meets the requirements of the Ukrainians. WHY SHOULD PEACE BE MADE? This is a silly question, even a child can figure out the answer. But when we approach this subject, each party braces itself on its own arguments, gives itself the beautiful role by accusing the adversary of all the evils. – It's your fault ! You started it all! You are the culprit, the war criminal! We must do everything to punish you! The two antagonists shower each other with all possible reprimands and insults. The conflict only escalates as time goes by. No one admits their share of responsibility. Everyone is innocent, unsuspecting! In these conditions, let's not talk about Peace anymore! Go ahead, keep killing yourself, burning yourself out, destroying yourself, ruining yourself. The world would be just one huge graveyard! Daily life is real hell! Happiness gone! The future pulverized, darkened! I cry for you, for us, for our children ! The sun will rise, the beautiful days will return when you are more reasonable, when you will know how to accept life in common, or in community in our world. A life of cooperation and solidarity. A life of concession, and understanding. When all these noble notions really seep into and settle in our heads, when we know how to respect each other, in this moment we could really talk again about MAKING PEACE.
But it is absolutely URGENT to start the talks IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU !
USA why you are interfering with Russia? Everyone knows when Ukraine become the membership of NATO it leads threads to Russia so it's Russians duty to teach lesson to Ukraine 😂
Прозападная пропаганда как с цепи сорвалась,когда Россия начала специальную военную операцию (СВО) на украине,но факт в том,что Путин начиная с 14 года пытался всё решить мирным путём,для мирного урегулирования конфликта на Донбассе были заключены так называемые минские договорённости,которые многократно нарушались и не один пункт этих соглашений так и не был выполнен киевской хунтой,а незадолго до начала "сво" украинские военизированные формирования готовили наступление на Донбасс.С одной стороны у России больше не было смысла о чем то договариваться с киевской хунтой,с другой стороны надо действовать и спасать многострадальный народ Донбасса от рук украинских нациков,это больше не могло продолжаться,и судя по всему было принято решение о разработке плана по "СВО".Шутки кончились ребята.Как говорил один великий мыслитель "Если вас критикуют, то значит вы всё делаете правильно."
7:30 Amazin how much we talk about NATO. The West is simply much much more than just NATO. Also Ukraine is not member of NATO. The whole NATO thing is just another excuse to drive people to their deaths and steal resources.
Absolute bollocxs.. Africa blames us.. India blames us, China blames us , sth America and all their supporters blame us.. Near 5 billion people blame us. If in not mistaken thats most of the world.. So max 1.5 billion believe it, those forced into western Oligarchs media(WMD's, ILLEGAL WAR> 2 MILLION DEAD IRAQI@S, destabilised region, Libya turned into a slave state.. ) . He's been watching too much western oligarchy owned tv.. Russia has fake liberals too..
These brave men from Ukraine must not be forgotten! Many of us around the world view Russia as the new Naszti's in the world! Russia is sick! Putin is Mad. Go Ukraine from a New Zealander!
In 1992 an italian magistrate, Giovanni Falcone, was killed in a car bombing because his relentless anti mafia work; in the aftermat his team mate Paolo Borsellino went on working, waiting the moment "when they'll kill me". He met his demise along 5 out of 6 escorting officers 57 days later in another car bombing. At least in Putin controlled State a man said truth for five minutes straight and God knows to what duress, blackmail and hardship he went through. It's a beginning…
Did you see the look on the face of that nasty little anchor when the Colonel recanted?… I wonder if she'll ever have the guts to be as brave as he was and tell the truth, even once? Hopefully she'll get what's coming to her when Vlad the disgusting gets what's coming to him.
Given the current status in the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, the retired colonel was wrong the first time. Colonel Richard Black and Colonel Macgregor disagree with the Biden administration. How does he know who went to jail in Russia? 7300 days in Afghanistan and no victory. Sanctions have hurt the US and NATO instead.
What would have happened if trump was in office dealing with this, do you think he would be in step with NATO . Sending rapid firing rocket mobile vehicles, surface to ship rockets, 41 billion in military aid, stinger surface to air, javelins, night vision thermal cameras, drones to. Thwart the “ genious” , his buddy Putin who he asked to release the lost tapes on television to help him get elected !! It’s illegal to get aid from any country to get elected !!! That way we are less vulnerable to being subverted from within by a president that has been compromised !!!
He is not speaking about putin or. Criticising him. He is. Veryga careful. He is warning about real situation. Not downplayed or optimistic. Technically he is making Russians position better. While advocating antiwar without criticism to putin or Russia.
The tide has turned since then! Now Russians are playing full force to slowly grind Ukranian troops in Severodonetsk and Lysychansk! Mikhail is still alive and free as a bird and still makes his appearances on state TV. There are more ardent critics of Gov't and SpecOp on Russian TV and they are not gagged as Tucker Carlson or Scott Ritter are in USA.
Mr. PRESIDENT Putin should arrest EU and Nato leaders and prosecute them in Russia for crimes against humanity or for state sponsored global terrorism under international law or Russian Laws…
People can change views after 6 months. Seems CNN is no different selling White house propaganda. What I do not understand how USA 7000km away has safety issues. It can strike any one ,preemptively. It has right to attack kill any country any place. Yet no one else has same right. WHY IS THAT. The west has provoked d this crisis . It supplies trained Ukrainian army for last 8 years with it's NATO allies. To kill people in east Ukraine. I am really disgusted by one sided reports. please give us proper and non biased news. On other channels WION Hindustan TImes Republic of India, Al Jazeera. News24 i have seen different news.

Putin sat him on his knee and told him he was a naughty boy had to go back on the TV and change it
His original statement was scathing
SCATHINGLY HONEST
Then, a total about-face.
A total 180-degrees.

Blow up Kremlin

How many if his balls did putins goons threaten to chop off? He doesn't believe the second nonsense.
Russian propaganda poo-pooed by its own general. I wonder if he’s still breathing!
You should listen to the ex colonel 👍🏻
1000 Ukrainians troops surrendered for 31,000 dead Russian "SOLDIERS" Sounds about even LMAO 🤣😂 SUPER POWER 🤣
U can tell this man has no clue what surprises the west and Ukraine has for them evil clowns 🤡

Sad
Yes man. No one likes this
My God they are all liars.
No one almost like Russians for their doing, for their lies etc..
GLORY TO UKRAINE 🙏❤️🩹😇 FROM WILMINGTON DELAWARE USA ❤️👑💪🧬🪖
CNN has lost any credibility as an impartial news agency. It has relegated its reputation to that of a leftwing propaganda mouthpiece. 😏
воювати на могутню Україну. VIVA UKRAINI, VIVA HEROYAM !!!!
Je me demande ou est ce courageux colonel aujourd'hui….au goulag ou il est mort empoissonné ?
He is not speaking about putin or. Criticising him. He is. Veryga careful. He is warning about real situation. Not downplayed or optimistic. Technically he is making Russians position better. While advocating antiwar without criticism to putin or Russia.
Let's see, Putin promoted this Colonel to General and sent him to the front. Problem solved!
The tide has turned since then! Now Russians are playing full force to slowly grind Ukranian troops in Severodonetsk and Lysychansk! Mikhail is still alive and free as a bird and still makes his appearances on state TV. There are more ardent critics of Gov't and SpecOp on Russian TV and they are not gagged as Tucker Carlson or Scott Ritter are in USA.
Putin has made a mistake invading 🇺🇦 Ukraine.
He was told "if you don't tow the line, you will go missing " ….🤫
7:52 "And even in the United States where everyone hates each other …." LOL !!
Mr. PRESIDENT Putin should arrest EU and Nato leaders and prosecute them in Russia for crimes against humanity or for state sponsored global terrorism under international law or Russian Laws…
😳 thats a hero
