Turkey selling weapons to Wagner or even Wagner asking for them seems extremely unlikely, since Wagner and Turkish backed mercenaries has fought on opposite sides in Libya and in Syria. Am I missing something?
Looking like an average of 5,000 views per hour over the course of the first day! It's about time this channel began to receive the recognition it so rightly deserves!!!
I got a good laugh this morning until i had my coffee and watched this video. I saw your title about the "Pentagon Leaks" and thought you guys were doing a rehash about the "Pentagon Papers". In the future i will make an effort to drink my coffee first before I go to this channel😜
Hello, FBI agent here - I have come to give my condolences for your accidental death via 23 gunshots to the back of the chest (it was in a dark forest right by a big ditch - accidents happen) For real though, thanks for talking about it, it was frustrating seeing people ignore the contents or just parrot the photoshopped ones
Regarding the Ukrainian SAM situation- I'm not sure that leak made any difference. IIRC, this concern had been in the air for weeks prior to this leak, so it wasn't exactly news. Perhaps confirmation though.
I don't see the whole debacle over the leaks. Everything written there was basically well known information, OF COURSE NATO has personnel in Ukraine, making sure their donated weaponry and assets don't go to waste. They count every penny. There's training centers set up etc. None of this is new. What did people expect, tens of billions of dollars sent to Ukraine without people there to control where it's going?
Report recently surfaced that Mexican drug cartels habe gotten their hands on American Javelin shoulder fired missiles. So the nato personnel have been doing a sheet job at making sure the weapons are ending up in the right place 😂
It's kind of crazy to think our generation will probably never know the whole truth in this war. We take it for granted we know almost every single detail of the world wars, who fought where, why, how was it all made, shipped and how every army fought. What were their strategies and tactics? Almost every single "top secret" plan is just common knowledge to history buffs now. But to people who experienced the conflict and history... they'll never get to know it.
As a master student of World War II history, we know plenty about the second world war. We still don’t know everything. The general public certainly does not know everything. Due to the amount of records about the Ukrainian Russian conflict, I bet it will be the most recorded war in history in every medium. The difficulty will be sifting through the details, propaganda, and variety of sources.
We actually don't know ALL of WW2 primarily due to government statutes keeping it under wraps like Britain's Official War Secrets Act which is set to expire around 2039. Russia... How do I put this? There is a reason why David Glantz's books on the Eastern Front were the gold standard in truly understanding that theater as access to the Soviet Archives has been unavailable for Western scholars since 2003...
If you want to find actual in-depth combat tactics of unpopular battles, you have to dig hard. Some of the websites are run by fairly older people barely keeping the information alive.
I hope someone sits this kid down and shows him exactly how much damage he has done. I hope they also explain to him IN DETAIL the SEVERE consequences his irresponsiblility has created for real human beings, families, villages and entire countries!!
I’d like to see a video about various tactics or pieces of equipment that have had the biggest effects on the war! From drones to javelins to tanks to Wagner or the territorial defense battalions!
Back in the first month I was worried that there was the possibility that Russia could blugen Ukraine to death just like the union did to the confederacy in the Civil War, now I'm certain that's impossible. 1. Union loses in the Civil War were 50% higher than Confederate loses whereas Russian Casualties are around 100% higher than Ukrainian loses. 2. The Confederacy didn't have the moral high ground and thus didn't have adequate support from the world powers. 3. The Union army wasn't rife with corruption the way Russia is. 3.5. The Confederate government couldn't enforce a total war. 4. Both the Union and Confederate armies had good Leaders and good doctrine with the Union notably having Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan who were way ahead of their time. Ukrainian Commanders were western trained and have superior doctrine, that's not even mentioning Oleksandr Syrskyi. This isn't to say I'm comparing Ukrainian to the Confederacy or calling Ukraine a breakaway Providence of Russia. And I'm certainly not comparing Putin to Lincoln!!😧🤯
So according to the leaks, Ukraine was supposed to have ran out of Buk missiles 1.5 months ago and S300 missiles 1 month ago, How have they been able to still repel recent stepped up Russian drone and missile attacks day after day?
Did anybody considered these leaks were maybe planed and these information released as a move to trick Russians. If you look closely most of those informations were already well known, but two most important ones are lack of STA misiles and lack of trust from Washington in ability of UA to achieve major win in coming ofensive. That could very well be the point of these leaks, mix the well known information with these two to give credibility to leaked documents and create false sense of security in Russian Army before UA starts its ofensive. Every little advantage matters in war, so this may well be a way to get advantage before hugely important events that will follow in near future?
@ganond0rf it's not copium, it's a legitimate possibility. Copium is believeing the 4chan doctored documents that showed "170,000" Ukranian soldiers were killed 😂
@@ThatBlueFalcon facts! and it called out nations sending weapons to Russia. Also confirmed the amount killed and Wagner leader confirmed the numbers are at least in the ballpark for the Russian side.
Another proxy war, not too hot, not too cold, juuuuust right, brought to you by the US war hawks. What irks me is the portrayal of Putin as the classical bad guy, when the story has so many more bad guys, and no good guys to speak of. In short: "Don't mind us, plebs, this doesn't concern you, unless you are in the line of fire, then rest assured, you died well and we thank you for your service." signed *whatever side is involved in this conflict* This being said, Kings and Generals, are you comfortable with not mentioning the gentleman's agreement dating back in the 90's, between NATO and Russia, that stipulates that NATO will not expand right next to Russia's borders and that Russia reserves the right to respond in force if something like that happens? It's not the first time NATO managed to turn brother nations against each other in order to further their own goals and then call it justice, or freedom or whatever term they chose to mask their true purpose. Given the situation at hand, both Pentagon and Kremlin should be held responsable for this war, along with their respective puppets.
Even if it did exist, Gorbachev said it on record there is no way they (Russia) can enforce that. He knew it was a lopsided deal that is not legally recognized by both governments. You can't hold NATO to a deal that didn't even exist as printings on a sheet of paper, much less be recognized as legally binding. And the dudes who made the deal are now dead: GHW Bush has been dead for 5 years and Gorbachev died last year...
I still can't believe the US government gave a 21 year olds access to something like this, have you guys not check what 21 years olds do on social media?
@@steveosborne2297 No, not really, what they forget to say, is even if you have the clearance, doesn't mean you get to view it, as its all compartmentalize. This guy didn't even get it by normal means either. He's sure going to feel the consequences for it though.
Remember when this was a history channel? It was so good before they locked away the history content behind a paywall and became a geopolitics channel.
Don't act like war doesn't have geopolitics in it. The Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta is the endgame of the game of geopolitics between Athens and Sparta...
Thank you for the information about these leaks. I didn't know much about the specifics of it. This is my primary news source on the war in Ukraine these days. God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
Everything was correct except number of casualties that was altered by russian agents. Right. Why didnt they alter all the other information that made them look bad?
I can't tell lies. There was no such operation as far as we know. People cite Nuland's call, but it was made after the revolution of dignity succeeded and basically was her saying that the Americans prefer one of the candidates no matter what the Europeans think. This is not a smoking gun.
Well, I still don't think any of the data was truly critical. The problem of any group/unit/agency is finding the right balance between information sharing and information security. You can make your info super secure, but then the people who need to work with it will be forced to wait for every document before it is approved, which makes the process considerably more time consuming and resource intensive
Many of these leaks are saying something was going to happen, you pointing out it didn’t, then saying there must have been some change of plan. Isn’t it just as likely it was just bad intelligence? Hardly like the Pentagon are any strangers to that. The more interesting parts are the ones about US priorities/intentions
To the company making Ridge wallets, my 'dad' was a cheating scumbag who abandoned my family when he got caught. I wouldn't buy my father a chipboard casket, nevermind a wallet that I wouldn't even buy for myself 😂
Like we finding out now, America/The West doesn't care if UA hits Russia land, they just won't risk them using wester weapons to hit them and only hit ukrine land with them included Crimea in that. Nato won't want to risk using weapons on Belgorod or Moscow with nato weapons to risk escalatio. But ukrine has its own domestic missle and drone programs, but not alot, but they will use domestic for strikes in Russia, and foreign for occupation spots.
I think the counter offensive is gonna have a lot more impact than the pentagon thinks. There's some serious potential here to use Shock and Awe to legitimately route Russian forces. Now, taking back Crimea, that's another matter. Putin will do whatever it takes to not let that happen, but the fact remains he's a delusional man.
yeah i mean the pentagon and many top level US generals was sure Russia would win the war in 3 days and have the Ukranians capitulate.. the 3 day war thing was actually a US thing not a Russian estimate, they thought they would win in about 2 weeks so not that much different but yeah, shows you that while the US intel gathering is extremely great, their predictions need a lot of work. also this leak didn't take recent events into account, (cuz they hadn't happened yet) like storm shadows completely decimating a lot of shit, and the UKR counter offensive preps in which they have hit many vital elements such as fuel and ammo storages, not to mention the incursions into Russia that forces them to re allocate some backline forces which means any UA breakthrough in the right direction could be extremely damaging to Russia in the same way the Kharkiv/Izium counter offensive prayed on the lack of backline troops and the low density of frontline personal that the Ruzkies had in the area.
@NiklasMJ You probably didn't see vid compilation of Russians propagandists and experts, some gave even a day, for example, RT's editor-in-chief - Margarita Simonyan gave Ukraine a 2 days.
@@jailedtwice735 yeah but does Simonyan have any military position or actual knowledge of how to conduct a war or asses whether or not an attack or war would be succesfull? no not really so what does her opinion matter in this?
The US military has a long history of trying to scapegoat jr enlisted personnel when something happens that could embarrass the service. They did it with the USS Iowa explosion and more recently, the Bonhomme Richard fire. It may turn out that this kid is guilty of what they say. But I've learned from experience to wait and see for the whole story to come out before passing judgment.
He appears to be pretty damn guilty, his chain of command is also guilty of dereliction of duty for not taking more serious action against him sooner tho
@Solowarrior1221 The base CCs were both fired from command which if you served you know is a dead career for an officer so yea they both lost their careers but no its not as much as I'd like. I don't need the bridge thank you
@Mirokuofnite They didn't actually leak the info though so losing their CC jobs and very likely their careers is probably adequate punishment and that so far appears to be the case

Fantastic video, thanks for breaking down the leaks.
So according to the leaks, Ukraine was supposed to have ran out of Buk missiles 1.5 months ago and S300 missiles 1 month ago, How have they been able to still repel recent stepped up Russian drone and missile attacks day after day?
Patriot.
the drones are being fought with AA machineguns, funnily enough.
Ukraine has received a number of sophisticated SAM systems. Not enough, but they've mastered the systems quickly.
Pentagon shouldve gotten expressvpn
At time 2:50 what's with the cone head in front of the computer 😂
Illuminati confirmed
Keep us updating on these leeks!
Did anybody considered these leaks were maybe planed and these information released as a move to trick Russians. If you look closely most of those informations were already well known, but two most important ones are lack of STA misiles and lack of trust from Washington in ability of UA to achieve major win in coming ofensive. That could very well be the point of these leaks, mix the well known information with these two to give credibility to leaked documents and create false sense of security in Russian Army before UA starts its ofensive. Every little advantage matters in war, so this may well be a way to get advantage before hugely important events that will follow in near future?
no. This seems way too messy and bad for American interests to be planned.
Super copium indeed. Cope so hard, thinking Ukraine fighting against a video game bot that can't think that the leaks are legit or not
@ganond0rf it's not copium, it's a legitimate possibility. Copium is believeing the 4chan doctored documents that showed "170,000" Ukranian soldiers were killed 😂
@@ThatBlueFalcon facts! and it called out nations sending weapons to Russia.
Also confirmed the amount killed and Wagner leader confirmed the numbers are at least in the ballpark for the Russian side.
Yeah, that was one of the first thoughts I had about this.
Another proxy war, not too hot, not too cold, juuuuust right, brought to you by the US war hawks.
What irks me is the portrayal of Putin as the classical bad guy, when the story has so many more bad guys, and no good guys to speak of.
In short:
"Don't mind us, plebs, this doesn't concern you, unless you are in the line of fire, then rest assured, you died well and we thank you for your service."
signed *whatever side is involved in this conflict*
This being said, Kings and Generals, are you comfortable with not mentioning the gentleman's agreement dating back in the 90's, between NATO and Russia, that stipulates that NATO will not expand right next to Russia's borders and that Russia reserves the right to respond in force if something like that happens? It's not the first time NATO managed to turn brother nations against each other in order to further their own goals and then call it justice, or freedom or whatever term they chose to mask their true purpose.
Given the situation at hand, both Pentagon and Kremlin should be held responsable for this war, along with their respective puppets.
Not a proxy war. No such agreement exists.
Even if it did exist, Gorbachev said it on record there is no way they (Russia) can enforce that. He knew it was a lopsided deal that is not legally recognized by both governments. You can't hold NATO to a deal that didn't even exist as printings on a sheet of paper, much less be recognized as legally binding. And the dudes who made the deal are now dead: GHW Bush has been dead for 5 years and Gorbachev died last year...
I love this channel but the MIC simping is strong. It’s cringe.
Daddy zelensky
Ok, and what's in the Pentagon leeks? Probably fiber, water and vitamins.
I still can't believe the US government gave a 21 year olds access to something like this, have you guys not check what 21 years olds do on social media?
Assuming it's actually real data
Apparently there is about 1 million people in the US who could possibly have access to something like this via security clearances
It leaked on purpose
@@steveosborne2297 No, not really, what they forget to say, is even if you have the clearance, doesn't mean you get to view it, as its all compartmentalize. This guy didn't even get it by normal means either. He's sure going to feel the consequences for it though.
Never seen a healthier looking Biden. His eyes were open for once instead of the usual squint were used to

Can someone please tell me who won the pacific war? 🙄

Just follow their weekly series😀. You will eventually find out...

Remember when this was a history channel? It was so good before they locked away the history content behind a paywall and became a geopolitics channel.
Still a history channel, with the majority of the content historical.
Don't act like war doesn't have geopolitics in it. The Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta is the endgame of the game of geopolitics between Athens and Sparta...

Noon cmon national guard man you had like one job!
Thank you for the information about these leaks. I didn't know much about the specifics of it. This is my primary news source on the war in Ukraine these days.
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
Everything was correct except number of casualties that was altered by russian agents. Right. Why didnt they alter all the other information that made them look bad?
You can look at both versions of the documents and tell me which one you feel is edited.
6:07 When is it "misinformation" and when is it "a ruse"? 👀
Are you going to talk about the CIA operation to over throw the previous ukrainian government that kinda started this shit in the first place?
I can't tell lies. There was no such operation as far as we know. People cite Nuland's call, but it was made after the revolution of dignity succeeded and basically was her saying that the Americans prefer one of the candidates no matter what the Europeans think. This is not a smoking gun.
@@KingsandGenerals good answer. Fuck that guy 😂
@@KingsandGenerals ahh shit didn't know this, thx i appreciate it
I wonder if the leak info is similar Operation Mince Meat
That photography graphic and audio was awful, flashing and clicking almost overriding your audio, very distracting

Is he maybe a war thunder player?
Someone show this video to wow mao
Who
so when did all this happen? 200 years ago or something?
well at least we know that part about not providing F-16s is BS now.
nobody has ever put a thumbdrive in first try, data's completely compromised
I just don’t understand. You think they would have protected their data more carefully.
Well, I still don't think any of the data was truly critical. The problem of any group/unit/agency is finding the right balance between information sharing and information security. You can make your info super secure, but then the people who need to work with it will be forced to wait for every document before it is approved, which makes the process considerably more time consuming and resource intensive
@@KingsandGenerals I hope so. I want Ukraine to pull through and have Russia be confused.
Many of these leaks are saying something was going to happen, you pointing out it didn’t, then saying there must have been some change of plan. Isn’t it just as likely it was just bad intelligence? Hardly like the Pentagon are any strangers to that. The more interesting parts are the ones about US priorities/intentions
To the company making Ridge wallets, my 'dad' was a cheating scumbag who abandoned my family when he got caught.
I wouldn't buy my father a chipboard casket, nevermind a wallet that I wouldn't even buy for myself 😂
This video feels months out of date.
Like we finding out now, America/The West doesn't care if UA hits Russia land, they just won't risk them using wester weapons to hit them and only hit ukrine land with them included Crimea in that. Nato won't want to risk using weapons on Belgorod or Moscow with nato weapons to risk escalatio. But ukrine has its own domestic missle and drone programs, but not alot, but they will use domestic for strikes in Russia, and foreign for occupation spots.
I think the counter offensive is gonna have a lot more impact than the pentagon thinks. There's some serious potential here to use Shock and Awe to legitimately route Russian forces. Now, taking back Crimea, that's another matter. Putin will do whatever it takes to not let that happen, but the fact remains he's a delusional man.
yeah i mean the pentagon and many top level US generals was sure Russia would win the war in 3 days and have the Ukranians capitulate.. the 3 day war thing was actually a US thing not a Russian estimate, they thought they would win in about 2 weeks so not that much different but yeah, shows you that while the US intel gathering is extremely great, their predictions need a lot of work. also this leak didn't take recent events into account, (cuz they hadn't happened yet) like storm shadows completely decimating a lot of shit, and the UKR counter offensive preps in which they have hit many vital elements such as fuel and ammo storages, not to mention the incursions into Russia that forces them to re allocate some backline forces which means any UA breakthrough in the right direction could be extremely damaging to Russia in the same way the Kharkiv/Izium counter offensive prayed on the lack of backline troops and the low density of frontline personal that the Ruzkies had in the area.
@NiklasMJ You probably didn't see vid compilation of Russians propagandists and experts, some gave even a day, for example, RT's editor-in-chief - Margarita Simonyan gave Ukraine a 2 days.
@@jailedtwice735 yeah but does Simonyan have any military position or actual knowledge of how to conduct a war or asses whether or not an attack or war would be succesfull? no not really so what does her opinion matter in this?
More content like this for sure! Maybe even a third channel for political happenings.
Looks like other intelligence agencies will have to take note of this.

this is months old news but nice vid i guess
All these fake politicians make me sick
The US military has a long history of trying to scapegoat jr enlisted personnel when something happens that could embarrass the service. They did it with the USS Iowa explosion and more recently, the Bonhomme Richard fire.
It may turn out that this kid is guilty of what they say. But I've learned from experience to wait and see for the whole story to come out before passing judgment.
He appears to be pretty damn guilty, his chain of command is also guilty of dereliction of duty for not taking more serious action against him sooner tho
@@primarchvulkan5097 Do you really think the guy's superiors are going to face punishment? Because i have a bridge to sell you if you do.
@Solowarrior1221 The base CCs were both fired from command which if you served you know is a dead career for an officer so yea they both lost their careers but no its not as much as I'd like. I don't need the bridge thank you
@Mirokuofnite They didn't actually leak the info though so losing their CC jobs and very likely their careers is probably adequate punishment and that so far appears to be the case
As a former USAF member with secret clearance and FOIA training, I can see he was the fall guy. Seriously....
