countdown to trump saying exactly what putin said
Miscalculations can foolishly lead to escalation
It's been 4 years…
It's time for Peace!
Respect,prețuire și sincere felicitări pentru profesionalismul și seriozitatea cu care ne prezentați ca țară în interviurile televiziunilor internaționale!!
Can Europe trust the US for its defense?
NATO will use really very strong words this time.
Be ready Putin to be lamented about human rights.
Are those NATO countries who laughed after the US demanded they spend more on defense still laughing?
If it wasn't for Russia Europeans would be speaking German today 😂😂😂
Putin: :It's not us
" it's little Green men" ( crimea)
Putin 🙁 at ukraine border)
" we are doing military excercises " 2 days later invades
That's not precisely what PUTIN said. Why present half truth as a truth?
Say everything Putin said
How about message to France rather than USA i thought Europe is leading NATO now. Everytime USA why not Spain and Italy leading the alliance now.
F-16? That is the wrong air defense system for drones on the border. Ukraine needs to work with Romania on anti-drone ground defense.
So what NATO is useless as UN. It’s just for show.we hope Trump pulls out US pays more of their expenses
its got to be disheartening when French TV refers to the US protecting a European neighbor that is >5000 miles closer to France than the US. So much for "strategic autonomy".
How about Romania recruit more soldiers from their country instead of being concerned about American troops pulled out by the United States?
Thank you Sir! 👏 I respectfully disagree. IMHO, Forget about Eastern Sentry, What Romania really needs the most is a container of potassium Iodide & Prussian blue!
Typical of Government funded France 24, to run with the story without any attempt to uncover the facts. Not even 30 minutes after this aired, Romania's President said it was a Ukraine's air defense that redirected the drone.🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I believe, as an absolute human being and subject to… subjective judgments, that YouTube should completely close its comments section until it's able to discern and eliminate trolls and bots.
Watching the content should be enough for a while… It's so inhuman to see an ocean of controlled abjection every time you want to express a decent opinion, coming from the experience of the disappointments, happinesses and hopes of your life…
The drone is Russian, the victims are Romanian. Romania is not part of any war. These are verifiable facts. To glorify one or another of the countries at war, go there and fight the hell out of it. Not here.
I’m sure Canada can provide all of security that Romania needs against the Soviet Union.
