What's the parallels. Completely crazy what you are saying. If you speak about refugees only then all war are the same as Rwanda. For the rest shake your brain of propagandist hoping you will seen a little bit clear.
Well of course it does because Trudeau said it did. What a joke you are. Biden has left Trudeau hanging as his own people back off the g word.
ПОЗДРАВЛЯЕМ ЗАПАД- УКРАИНЦЫ ВАМ ПОКАГУТ КАК НАДО ЖИТЬ "ПО-ЕВРОПЕЙСКИ" . ДОНЕЦКИЙ НАРОД УЖЕ ЭТИМ НАХЛЕБАЛСЯ! СПОЛНА- 8 ЛЕТ УБИЙСТВ НАЦИСТАМИ МИРНЫХ ЖИТЕЛЕЙ ДОНБАССА! А РОССЙСКАЯ АРМИЯ ОСВОБОЖДАЕТ ОТ НАЦИСТОВ ВОСТОЧНУЮ УКРАИНУ- УРА. ДА ЗДРАВСТВУЕТ РОДНАЯ РОДЯНЬСКАЯ УКРАИНА!
I can see parallels of Zell to that Austrian from back in the days
Send inspectors…speculation is not helping.
first USA ,Canada, UK and their puppet Nato should be charged for war crimes in Iraq,Libya,Syria,Yoguslavia, Yemen and Afghanistan, I thought Canada supposed to be a good and democratic country, but it's following the criminal path of USA,
Yes , you are right ,it is genocide !! Since 2014 Ukrainian government is bombing and killing their own people of Donbasss !!! !There is Alley of Angels memorial to the more than 800 children killed by Ukrainian Military in Donbasss !
Ukraine is fighting this war for all our Freedom 🇺🇦🇬🇧
Global elitist are enemies of humanity. They should be left on the front line of the Ukrainian and Russian conflict.
Western Countries continues buying oil from Russia and sending weapons to Ukraine. Its unbelievable!
Pure unadulterated gaslighting with a good measure of 🐂💩
You guys got it all wrong. US – military industrial complex – pushed Russia into the war by getting NATO towards the borders of Russia. The west broke their promise not to move NATO towards Russia. Now that
Lol get real what a joke
It is a dam shame and I for one would not be saddened by Putin facing a firing squad when this does end!
What’s your game west block
From the ranks of 115 BTY 3 FLD RGMT Royal Canadian Artillery Death to Putin Russia and all its servicemen🔥
Cont'd: now that war has started, US and MIC are very happy. Every arm they give to Ukraine is actually a sales. They create false information to make Russia so that no one would accuse them of making money out of the war. They are rhe evil hands fueling the war – causing death to thousands of Ukrainians while they are loading their pockets with billions/trillions of dollars.
Russia has to pay for every arm they used. Russia did not stop supplying oil and gas and coal. The west – US and UK and EU stop taking from Russia and cause shortages in europe causing undue suffering to the people of EU. Sure, they US would supply more arms to ukraine – to effectively lead to the death of more Ukrainians and Russia and meanwhile hapilly reap more profit – and try to make it into a forever war as jas happened in all previous countries that US brought war to. The world must stop supplying arms to Ukraine and promise Russia that they will stop NATO moving east. There should be peace talk and parties that caused the destruction shall have to contribute towards the rebuilding of Ukraine. A peace and rebuilding should be realized and at the same time earlier arrangement of supply of gas abd oil and coal and others shall be reinstated to make EU a rich community. Ukraine shall be coax to take a neutral stand and for that endeavor, should be provided with reasonable deals. I hope people on both fronts or all fronts use logical thinking to bring forth peace and prosperity. Please do away with all the war mongers.
Katie Simpson could eat another Twinkie. What a couch
Who benefits from ww3?
Our cretinous Canadian government likes to use words out of context. "Genocide" "Nazis" "racism" etc etc
Global news has taken a turn that is so disgusting. First talking about Azov as heroes, now this? I am so sad that Canadians are brainwashed by them.
The only crime i see is this sad propaganda.
We should handover the InController toolset to the Azov cyber regiment and the IT Army of Ukraine.
Have them make ruskie industrial control systems go boom around the country. Force Putin to the table via cyber warfare.
Im concerned about the suspect in the subway shooting being a black supremacist and you haven’t reported on it… the story kind of conveniently disappeared 👻
Right on Ukraine. GTF in their free world with full force defending Ukraine!
500 million to aid Ukraine,hope they follow up where this money is going since we know corruption is rampant
Too bad they don't show dislikes anymore… I bet there are over a thousand already. This is complete horse baloney. The Azov nazis of Ukraine have been murdering Ukraine civilians as well as Russian prisoners and deserve the thrashings they get.
How dare Global News compare this fake west propaganda war with a genocide.
Shame on the world you're all cowards
We Canadians are so grateful to have Minister ANAND to clarity the mistrust, misinformation that the conservatives media constantly feed us , and we are confident on the decisions and measures that MINISTER ANAND IS TAKEN AND CANADIANS SUPPORT THE MINISTER AND THE FEDERAL .GOVERNMENT.
ABOUT THE LADY SINGER THAT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE HESITATION OF THE COUNTRIES OF TOTALLY GIVE UP ON THE RUSSIAN OIL, WE WILL EXPLAIN TO HER THAT SHE is TALKING ABOUT MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT Will BE WITHOUT ENERGY AND OTHER BASIC HUMAN NECESSITIES.
WITH ALL THE RSPECT THAT SHE DESERVES, SHE COULDN’T DO ANYTHING THAT IS MAKING HER SO PROUD WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE MINORITY .PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOTS MONEY AND .HIGH PROFILE STATUS.
WE ARE THINKING AS WELL IN OUR COUNTRY AND THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT HAVE GIVEN ANYTHING THAT WE POSSIBLY COULD , BUT WE HAVE AS WELL A GREAT PORTION OF THE SOCIETY THAT BECAUSE THIS UNWANTED WAR SEE THE BUGET GOING UP 30% and women’s with children that work so many jobs, do not have enough to feed their families. SALARIES, PENSIONS DO NOT GO UP, INFLATION BECAUSE, COVID19 AND TGE UKRAINE WAR DEVALUED OUR INCOME. AND THE CONSTANT DEMANDS OF THE UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT THAT DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT CANADIANS , AND THE GOVERNMENT IS GIVEN CONSTANTLY TO HIS COUNTRY COULD BE A LITTLE MORE Empathetic OF THE NEEDES OF CANADIANS CITIZENS.
There are other parts of the world where there are Occupation War ,, death that are not in EUROPE THAT ARE SUFFERING AS MUCH AS UKRAINE IS GOING THROUGH BUT THey DO NOT HAVE THE SUPPORT THE MILLIONS-AND MILLIONS OF DOLARS ; ARMS, AND HUMANITARIAN AID, NOT ONLY TO UKRAINE BUT THE COUNTRIES THAT ARE HELPING THE UKRAINIAN REFUGEES. AND THIS MR. UKRAINE PRESIDENT IS CANADA HELPING YOU A YOUR COUNTRY.

Romeo Dallaire is a coward who let 10 Belgian peacekeeping officers defend themself to death for hours while their position was attacked by insurgents and choose not to send help. Since that day of april 7 1994, he has blood on his hands.
Except global news and all of the white corporate news outlets didn't give two sh*ts about black people being butchered in Rwanda. Now you expect everyone to go to WW3 for these white people!! GTFOH
This man spoke from history. We must acknowledge what he has said. All R ussia or any other country says is "don't or I'll use nikes". We can go down that road many times. Filled donate what you can. Fund raiser. Every bit counts. Let's all do everything we can to defeate this evil.

If Justin tredeau wasn’t lowkey racist against native people and other coloured person he’d make a great leader to the people I do not see white people complaining about the man just coloured maybe the ones in office but not the people
Those new war ships have Little Tiny Guns There is no Defence on those ships what so ever why don’t they have missile systems? And what kind of Damage can that little fun do ? 😅😂. 88 Fighter Jets That’s Just a Fairy tale why Not 100? Why Don’t we have Attack Helicopters 🚁 ? And why don’t we have any tanks or a destroyer? Why retire our only destroyer if you can’t manage to have a replacement

Make sure to agree with the television to retain good person status.
Failure to agree and stand with the current thing will render you racist,misogynist domestic terrorist, islamophobic, homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic, etc.
