Probably not this year unless something crazy happens. And this is Russia, so it might yet. Keep in mind Russia has a long history of just winning the battle of attrition by sheer population. Never mind they lose a whole generation of young men. Think of the invasion of Finland and the continuation war. We all need to continue to support Ukraine.
And the worst part for Putin is that he can’t order troops that are defending inner Russia to counter-attack. After his cook led an army of monsters and criminals straight toward Moscow he has to maintain that home guard, lest other military leaders or oligarchs decide he is vulnerable.

There is speculation that Zelensky will visit the Russian territory controlled by Ukraine. Somehow I don’t think Putin will be very happy about that. 😁
Nope. Putin backed himself into a corner without realising it. Remember the early days, when "everyone" thought ohh dear, well that's bye bye to Ukraine? Then Ukraine showed its fighting spirit. Then NATO siezed the opportunity to use Ukrainian will power to hold Russia to a war of attrition. Well, this is the consequence.

The backup plan, if Russia was more resilient and Ukrainian losses were too high would be to send many more and much better weaponry. How often do you see commenters "screaming" that NATO should send more? Well, they don't know the plan.
Excellent update and great points. Putin underestimated the Ukrainian people. Solidarity with the Ukrainian people 💙💙💙 Have a great day Belle 😊 Thank you very much 💙💙👍💙💙🐎
What I'm confused by is the fact that this kind of thing has been going on for centuries. Kyiv has never greeted Moscow with flowers and Russification has always been just as much of an epic fail in Ukraine as it was in Poland. There's also an attitude 'problem '. Kyiv is almost 700 years older than Moscow. When the Mongols came they used Moscow as their base. Yes, the Mongols sacked Kyiv a few times but they eventually gave up trying to conquer it. Meanwhile Kyiv continued exporting food and enjoyed the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Ukrainians will always view Russians as the barbarians of the east.
Thank you, Felle and Beau and your entire family, for always telling is the truth. You are all wonderful patriots and a treasure to all of us who love and count on you for helping us to know the truth.
Another reason why the lack of response is puzzling is that Kursk is historically significant for the narrative of ‘fighting nazis’ since that was the city around which the last major assault in the East broke. If Ukraine takes it, that’s an epic defeat.
I saw an article saying that Putin has a history of just ignoring parts of his country that are taken by enemies. People there may just be allowed to suffer with no real support.
When Beau did these kinds of videos it had a feeling very much akin to a briefing, with the occasional deadpan delivery of sarcasm and mockery. With Belle it feels just as informative, but the whole vibe feels like she's saying 'bless your heart' to Putin. I can't decide which style I like more because they're both great.
They haven't, they won't. If they were going to, they would have done so much much earlier. You might find that they can't. Putin won't skimp on personal security, remember he was FSB!
To borrow and recycle a phrase from elsewhere - "it's the umbrella you don't see that gets you ..." If something did happen to him, I expect it may be put across as a medical issue.
I just had a flash of ꓕЯump and Putin sitting together at a sidewalk café in Venezuela, pounding down the Diet Coke & Stoli while paraphrasing the line from the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz: "Ohhhhh, what a world, what a world. Who would have thought that some little idea like democracy could destroy our beautiful wickedness."
The other day, i was watching a Russian soldier videoing himself on the battlefield. This soldier had not had any food or had any water for 3 going on his 4th day. He was also crying and saying he wants to LIVE, he wants to LIVE. Putin needs to end his people's suffering ASAP, but how can the world make him do that?
By letting Ukraine off its damned leash and letting them loose inside Russia with full weapons support. They're gaining more territory every day, and already taking better care of the people they captured than their own government ever did. And they're still using drones for most of the heavy lifting, because NATO doesn't want their weapons used that deep inside Russia.
Putin lives in a world of yesteryear -- of the USSR or the tsarist empire. His people want and deserve a better life for themselves and their children. He is expending resources on a vanity project. His sycophants tell him what he wants to hear ... who could have imagined being the absolute ruler for 20+ years and stealing as much as possible would corrupt the technocratic former mayor of St Petersburg? Well, at least he has his palaces and special trains to carry him wherever he wants.

Take into account that he is used to thinking creatively - which opens up the brain more than brooding on punishment. And laughing activates the brain even more!
He still has plenty of troops and equipment to stop the Ukrainian advance, he just refuses to relocate them from Eastern Ukraine. He would rather continue sending approximately 1000 troops per day into the meat grinder for very slow progress than to defend his own territory.
Well, Ukraine is using their new territory to attack Russian supply lines, so there might not be a whole lot Russia can do about it anymore. Ukraine already destroyed a few military airports, runways, and hangars, they sunk the only ferry carrying fuel into Crimea, and it looks like they're far from done. This has been a war fought over inches, and Ukraine is working to sever most of their larger supply lines. This really only leaves the bridge into Crimea and a couple of railways as the only way move supplies into their forces in Ukraine, and from what I understand Ukraine is working to take care of them all. That bridge should be a lot easier to hit with a small, targeted drone attack once it's loaded with trucks carrying fuel. And that's not even getting into all the other creative things Ukraine is now doing inside Russia yet. It looks like they're trying to force Putin into making a big mistake, and they'll be punishing all of Russia with a "death from a thousand small cuts" right up until their big opportunity shows up.
Hi Ms Belle! I’m loving your gloves off Southern snark…. I mean charm. I really appreciate this place for honesty and just a tiny little touch of left bias to help me calm down.
that area is a little bit smaller than the ponderosa. There were some prisoner conscripts on video, who said they received little trench warfare training. when the ukraine troops they yelled we are conscripts we surrender.
@@jamesphillips2285 ...when they are running. Do you know what the current supply situation is? _"Due to large logistical problems with train lines in the Kursk region Russian forces are being forced to drive logistical convoys down the M-4 highway from Rostov to Voronezh to Kursk." - WarMonitor🇺🇦🇬🇧 (@WarMonitor3) August 21, 2024_
I agree wholeheartedly with this assessment. He's running out of resources and can't hide it. This is in my opinion the beginning of his downfall. YaY....
From the news, families of the conscripts who are defending the borders are protesting in some of Russia major cities due to heavy lost from the Kursk incursion. A lot of these conscripts are from the big cities and keeping the Russians in the cities happy are a major factor in keeping Putin in power.
The thing is, he isn't going toe to toe with NATO. He is slowly losing to a much smaller country armed with some stuff from NATO's dusty attic. Things could go so much worse for them if they inspired more direct involvement, such as trying something against Poland.
First the whole maga crpp and then Russia/Ukraine war was a major wakeup call in europe. It opened our eyes for realizing we need to be able to defend ourselves. After wwII, and dont forget that war was much more devastating in europe than in us, there was a high resistance against weapon construction. That resistance was shaken in 2016 and evaporated in 2022 i can tell you! But we still very much need each other. Not as in EU needs to have their long fingers in us pockets, but to stand together to defend democracy and freedom.
The only reason that is even slightly (and entirely accidentally) true is because Europe realized that Trump would leave them out to dry if anything ever happened over there, and so took steps toward greater self-sufficiency. If Trump was still President, there wouldn't have been a 'waste of blood and treasure'. He'd have congratulated Putin on his successful acquisition of additional real estate.
Hi Belle, You really seem to be settling in to your new role. Your presentation skills seem to have become much more natural and comfortable. It's great to see. Keep up the great work!
From what I understand, that's actually part of why Zelensky did this. He wanted to prove that Russian saber rattling was pretty meaningless and mostly empty just bluster, so he straight up invaded the country to prove it first hand. I still can't get over the size of the cannon balls on all these Ukrainian soldiers. They straight up invaded a nuclear capable country just to call its leader out in the most humiliating and Ukrainian morale-boosting way possible. I'm still regularly being impressed by these guys.
I have a feeling that he won't leave while he is alive.....so, unless a stroke, or heart attack, or window from a tall.....nevermind. you get. The point. He won't leave willingly.
Putin's circle won't "Suggest" that he retire. When he loses support, he will wake up in the night to a clicking sound and his body guards won't be there.
Could the world get rid of Putin and Trump in the same year? It’s just a thought, let’s all have a good year.

Him, his leadership team, and all the soldiers under them all are incredible. This was a hell of a thing to watch play out.
As a great strategist, he would naturally draw from all available resources, such as the best NATO has to offer.
Take into account that he is used to thinking creatively - which opens up the brain more than brooding on punishment. And laughing activates the brain even more!
He still has plenty of troops and equipment to stop the Ukrainian advance, he just refuses to relocate them from Eastern Ukraine. He would rather continue sending approximately 1000 troops per day into the meat grinder for very slow progress than to defend his own territory.
He will have to lose 1000 troops a day to take kursk back as well.

This has been a war fought over inches, and Ukraine is working to sever most of their larger supply lines. This really only leaves the bridge into Crimea and a couple of railways as the only way move supplies into their forces in Ukraine, and from what I understand Ukraine is working to take care of them all. That bridge should be a lot easier to hit with a small, targeted drone attack once it's loaded with trucks carrying fuel.
And that's not even getting into all the other creative things Ukraine is now doing inside Russia yet. It looks like they're trying to force Putin into making a big mistake, and they'll be punishing all of Russia with a "death from a thousand small cuts" right up until their big opportunity shows up.
In Soviet Russia, Ukraine invades you
Hi Ms Belle! I’m loving your gloves off Southern snark…. I mean charm. I really appreciate this place for honesty and just a tiny little touch of left bias to help me calm down.
Putin is circling the drain - I'm getting the popcorn ready...
that area is a little bit smaller than the ponderosa. There were some prisoner conscripts on video, who said they received little trench warfare training. when the ukraine troops they yelled we are conscripts we surrender.
Goodnight and thank you, Belle and Beau. Goodnight, Peeps.
I'd imagine having that chunk of territory occupied is also not doing Russia's logistics issues any favors.
Trains are actually pretty amazing.
@@jamesphillips2285 ...when they are running. Do you know what the current supply situation is? _"Due to large logistical problems with train lines in the Kursk region Russian forces are being forced to drive logistical convoys down the M-4 highway from Rostov to Voronezh to Kursk." - WarMonitor🇺🇦🇬🇧 (@WarMonitor3) August 21, 2024_
It's doing the Ukrainians worse lol
I agree wholeheartedly with this assessment. He's running out of resources and can't hide it. This is in my opinion the beginning of his downfall. YaY....
From the news, families of the conscripts who are defending the borders are protesting in some of Russia major cities due to heavy lost from the Kursk incursion. A lot of these conscripts are from the big cities and keeping the Russians in the cities happy are a major factor in keeping Putin in power.
That could be the reason why they just done another POW swap
Russia attacking Ukraine is starting to look like the scene from the DNC where Mike Lindell tried to debate the 12 year old kid
I hope someday we will be able to live peacefully with family, friends and community and focus on caring for each other!
... for more than 5 minutes!
Could Putin be dragging his feet and putting extra effort into getting his li'l buddy elected in USA?
Putin lost this war when the Russian Army did not take Kyiv by the 5th day.
Theyre going to dust his ass
Wouldn't it be awesome if Trump and putin were ousted this year!
No sign YET. When it happens, it will probably be very fast.
The thing is, he isn't going toe to toe with NATO. He is slowly losing to a much smaller country armed with some stuff from NATO's dusty attic. Things could go so much worse for them if they inspired more direct involvement, such as trying something against Poland.
Kursk creates a lose lose dilemma.
You have a good day too Miss Belle ❣️
Thank you for being a fast talker! I used to have to speed up Beau's videos but your pacing is much easier for me to follow.
The performance of Russia also shows Europe doesn't need the Americans as much as they thought. What a waste of blood and treasure
Given the slow production of ammunition, the US is very much needed... For now
First the whole maga crpp and then Russia/Ukraine war was a major wakeup call in europe. It opened our eyes for realizing we need to be able to defend ourselves. After wwII, and dont forget that war was much more devastating in europe than in us, there was a high resistance against weapon construction. That resistance was shaken in 2016 and evaporated in 2022 i can tell you!
But we still very much need each other. Not as in EU needs to have their long fingers in us pockets, but to stand together to defend democracy and freedom.
The only reason that is even slightly (and entirely accidentally) true is because Europe realized that Trump would leave them out to dry if anything ever happened over there, and so took steps toward greater self-sufficiency. If Trump was still President, there wouldn't have been a 'waste of blood and treasure'. He'd have congratulated Putin on his successful acquisition of additional real estate.
Belle, I appreciate your genuinely upbeat mood. Mom would love that you're passionate, not overly emotional.
Slava Ukraini Heroyam Slava 🇺🇦🔱💪🚜🌻🍉✊💙🤝💙🤙
Thanks Belle, Ukraine 🇺🇦
holy crap, I didnt realize drones were getting into Moscow!! Thank you for the detailed update, I loved this!!!
I saw a VoA report. They spoke with citizens, sadly most still, at least publicly, to support putin. But all said they want peace. 👍🏼🌊💙💙💙🌊🥰✌🏼
Putin should give up drinking tea and avoid windows.
Hi Belle,
You really seem to be settling in to your new role.
Your presentation skills seem to have become much more natural and comfortable.
It's great to see. Keep up the great work!
Howdy, Belle!! Thanks for the update! 👍🍹💃😎🖖👵🐺🌵💙
Belle😊
I'm so glad there hasn't been any nuclear doomposting. Can you imagine if this happened even a year ago?
From what I understand, that's actually part of why Zelensky did this. He wanted to prove that Russian saber rattling was pretty meaningless and mostly empty just bluster, so he straight up invaded the country to prove it first hand.
I still can't get over the size of the cannon balls on all these Ukrainian soldiers. They straight up invaded a nuclear capable country just to call its leader out in the most humiliating and Ukrainian morale-boosting way possible. I'm still regularly being impressed by these guys.
I have a feeling that he won't leave while he is alive.....so, unless a stroke, or heart attack, or window from a tall.....nevermind. you get. The point. He won't leave willingly.
Slava Ukraine!
Thank you Belle and Team. Slava Ukraine!
Thank you, Belle ❤... Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤
Howdy Ms Belle, best wishes to Beau
Russia needs to lose so badly they'll never think about pulling this stunt again
Same as tfg. He needs to lose so badly in November that he'll jump into the first airplane available to a country without extradition. 😅
@@rosalinagdossantos8974 If iDJiT loses that badly, the airfield will drop dime while iDJiT is trying to scrape together the cash for fuel.
@@rosalinagdossantos8974 I thought he told Elon he wanted to go to Venezuela.
Putin's circle won't "Suggest" that he retire. When he loses support, he will wake up in the night to a clicking sound and his body guards won't be there.
He won't wake up.
I think his bodyguards will be the ones who surprise-retire him once the decision is made
Do you think he still sleeps at this stage?
Just the facts, ma’am. Thank you.
TY Belle for bringing us the facts. Sorry about being absent 4 a bit.
Thanks Belle; shit is getting pretty wild in Russia!😂❤
Rodney King was a troubled soul, but he was on point..."please can't we all just get along?"
Imagine...I can, but it seems not many others can. Too much fear.😢
I’ve been thinking of it as a Special Military Visit.
Howdy y'all howdy Belle & Team! 👋
Good evening Art! It's so nice to see you! I hope your sleep is deep and your dreams are happy ones tonight!
@@Art-w1l8x B
Howdy Art! 👋🤠🐎🍀☯️✌
Thanks for that excellent update! Victory to Ukraine.
🐵🔔Thank you, Belle & Team!🔔🐵
Good evening good Donald! Have restful sleep and inspired dreams tonight!
On top of all this, let's remember the US election is only 70-ish days away, and that Dump losing now would be a massive morale blow for putin.
