At the beginning of the war, Russia used T90M tanks at the front. Now, Russian soldiers use electric scooters, jeeps, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles when they are not on foot. The Russian submarine fleet is growing every day, by 2025 Russia will have lost more than 1,000,000 men in the war, the Russian economy is in free fall. What's the point? To boost mr. Putin's ego?
the ruble is extra low lately, it looked like they did their best to keep it at 100 ruble for a dollar, so the fact that they can't get it up anymore seems to indicate some level of impotence (pun intended)...
As of 2023 Russia had a population of 143.8 million. Their casualties are a mix of different nationalities, so even when it reaches the 1mill mark... that will still be less than 1% of their people. In just manpower they can keep this war going for many years to come. Would probably be beneficial if their technology wasn't garbage af 🤷♂️
They will not have lost a million men by the end of 2025. That number includes severely disabled and wounded in action. Some of the wounded in action are injured multiple times and are in the count more than once. But their Kia and severely disabled rates are through the roof. They use terrible military tactics and have terrible medical support for their injured. As a society, they treat disabled military veterans very poorly. After world War II, over a million disabled veterans simply disappeared.
I am a little surprised that Robert Fox refers to the official inflation rate (Russian sources) of approx. 9 % in Russia, without mentioning that the real inflation rate is considered to be significantly higher, around 30 %. The central bank rate is currently 21 %, which does not correlate with an inflation rate of 9 %, but more likely around 30 %.
This is correct, but its a grey market inside Russia as they don't officially trade, so the conclusions are guesses. The most telling indicator are the rates, which a good bank will try to make higher than inflation without triggering stagflation. And, they can't really do that. Russia is in trouble
The Russian bank's independence has been sacrificed to Kremlin control because of the baying of the Duma hounds recently. The interest rate was therefore not raised as urgently necessary and has thus opened the flood gates to hyperinflation.
Whilst I also have praise for Budanov, he is still dealing with a mountain of misinformation and the worst part is the western media and western analysts presuming Russia has infinite resources. The idea that Russia can't be defeated militarily drives the media frenzy over "peace" talks. I would like to see Budanov (and Ukraine in general) start to talk about Russian weakness.
Western media sensationalizes Russian gains and ignores Ukrainian ones. Joe Lindsley has pointed this out a number of times. This gives the false impression that Ukraine cannot win.
Western media is mostly useless with few exceptions. If Russia has infinite resources as they claim, Vladimir Putin wouldn’t have to grovel with hat in hand to Pyongyang. Russia is cash poor, hurting for young men to fight Putin’s war and clearly is losing tanks and artillery faster than Russia can replace them. It might be possible to replace military equipment but it won’t be quick. Especially if President Trump makes his first trip as President, to Saudi Arabia just as he did in his first term.

Missing word: 'believe' after 'I'. Also 'knew' is past tense, 'knows' is present indefinite and therefore appropriate. 'Putin knows' = it's current knowledge of his.
@@deborahcurtis1385 No I don't think so. I believe the opening "I" is a misspelled "If" : "If only Putin knew ... " is perfectly acceptable, as is the conditional "If only Putin had known (how badly things would be) going". I think the original poster is pointing out that Putin is unaware of the true scale of the catastrophic results his invasion has brought about and certainly failed to predict them. Not that Putin is the only man on earth who recognizes that said results are catastrophic - which is what your proposed edit would imply.
Putin isn't having a bad day. If you want to rattle his cage, ship him a case of English tea, along with pictures of 5 story apartments around Moscowand his special train and homes he has around Russia. If they were satellite images that would really rattele him?
He really won't have a choice in the end. If he irritates or insults Trump, it just takes a flick of the wrist to triple US arms support to Ukraine. And Putin knows that the Russian economy will collapse within 6 months, he needs a face-saving way out of this.
Russia is not in trouble at all. It is the West that is in trouble, both militarily and financially. Keep up the good propaganda work even as the West collapses around us.
@@torsion2 The Russian economy is growing nicely, with the "sanctions" invigorating the economy, especially as EU member states are now paying increased costs for Russian energy via third parties like India. The forecast is for a 3.5% to 4% growth rate for the Russian economy in 2025, whilst the EU economies expect less than 1%, with Germany, once Europe's economic powerhouse, now in its second year in recession.
Generally, it is the other way around. You risk stagflation by raising rates too high, which Russia has entered, but using higher interest to combat high inflation is standard.
Inflation figures are only as meaningful as the services and commodities used to measure it. I wonder if they include the cost of mortgages for flats and houses. If the cost of borrowing goes up 2% then so should inflation.
No, you have it backwards. Central bank set rate at 23% to discourage loans, so inflation is around 20%. If interest were below inflation, everyone would take out loans because they would beat inflation - free money.
Russia has a long tradition of grinding down their own forces. It really depends what you would consider a “human wave” but Russia has been doing this since the Swedish invasion. They lost their entire military basically twice in that war and had to re-mobilize a new armies. They melted every church bell in Russia to make cannons because they lost all their equipment. What we are seeing now in Ukraine is similar to what the Russians realized in WW1. Unless some technological breakthrough presents an opportunity to support that human wave, then they just hit a brick wall. In WW1 artillery and Machine Gun nests were too much for the Russians to overcome. Especially considering that they had poor logistics and tactical inferiority. The fact of the matter is, Russia only won WW2 because tanks provided a tactical advantage to open up the enemy front. Human waves would grind down that front but typically it was a “throw men and materials where it matters most”, use numerical superiority to make offensive thrusts. The German army in WW2 was fighting a multi front war and had no strategic oil reserves. Russia, even without the western allies, was in a strategic position to win WW2 despite the absolute failures in the first couple years. Why is that? Well they had developed all the advancements necessary to win eventually. PPSH sub machine guns we’re widely available, SVT-40s were already in production to replace bolt action rifles, artillery shells were in abundance with dedicated infrastructure for mass production, the T-34 tank was designed and under going testing and was a revolution in tank design. People forget that the German army primarily rolled into Russia with Kar-98 rifles and light tanks like the Panzer 3, with medium tanks at the spear head. Looking at this perspective, it’s easy to understand Russias lack luster performance in Ukraine. They had no technological advantages that made a human wave viable. There was nothing that gave them an overwhelming advantage upon either breaking through or over running a position. So it’s basically like Russia just hitting a never ending wall “as long as Ukraine keeps getting military aid”. They don’t have the money or logistics or technological advantage. Even if they got a break through, those forces don’t have a monopoly. The cost in men and material alone would make it impossible to exploit the gap. All anyone can really hope for is that both sides come to the negotiating table and agree to compromise. Neither side really has incentive to keep fighting. Ukraine will obviously have to give up Donetsk, while Russia will have to withdraw from ethnic Ukrainian territory. Being honest, the other breakaway republic is under populated and isn’t really valuable to Russia. It’s under developed and Russia would be better suited investing resources in their own regions. If Russia was a mother, she has 200 kids and only Moscow and Saint Petersburg are really doing well. Obviously mother Russia doesn’t need to adopt two breakaway republics but I’d argue just give her one so she chills the F out
Do the math. Ukraine lost before this war started. The war will be over before the end of winter. These jokers don't know squat. Trump will come about some type of agreement and Ukraine won't be as well off as if they would have just negotiated and not having a war. They are corrupt and the money we are giving to fund this war half of it is in some oligarch's pockets.
Let's not forget they lost their entire fleet to the Japanese a little over a hundred years ago, and simply made another one. They do not care about each other. They are essentially an armed force made up of zombies.
The Russian economy is supposed to be in dire straits. Currency is low, inflation is very bad and interest rate very high. Cost of food and basics rising. RS. Canada
Trump said he would cut aid if Zelensky refuses to come to the negotiating table. Zelensky will come, but that doesn't mean he can't say no to whatever is proposed (like territorial concessions). Ukraine can continue to fight without US aid, especially if Europe steps up its game, which they would. They are increasingly aware that any one of them could be next. It would be more difficult for Ukraine, but they can continue. When Trump realizes that he has been shut out of the process, he will see that as a failure he cannot accept. He will then realize that arming Ukraine to the teeth and lifting the Biden restrictions is the only option to end the war quickly.
In the last months, Biden has provided sufficient kit and cash, coupled with European aid and profits from frozen Russian assets (I love the irony), that they have sufficient to get them through 2025. If, as predicted, Orcland develops a siezure in 5-6 months as predicted (by Budanov and others), it should be more than enough.
No, pretty much all their modern tanks went first. Now they are down to their last Soviet era rust buckets. Their annual tank parades have been pretty sparse the past two years. 😂
'Should not be allowed’, eh? You and whose army? Ukraine’s all but done, now, and the pathetic EUSSR, having sent it all its heavy weapons and ammo, has nothing left to fight with. Neither can the EU raise any sizeable forces: its own sold-out citizens despise it.
Everybody's country has the right to be a sovereign nation but Putin has been a mafia style president. Remember Russia helped us in ww2 they just need a better leader that cares about the people rather than trying to build an empire.
the ruble has lost 10% in the past two weeks, this jacks up inflation, even if the ru figures refuse to admit it. It is a matter of fact, as now everything costs 10% more 😆
That's a low estimation, considering as of a week ago potatoes had risen 84% in price since August '24. Butter is up by 35% and is being kept in security packs in locked cooler cabinets in the majority of supermarkets across Russia. The average increase across all food items/ household purchases is 35%. Those numbers are as per Steve Rosenberg from the BBC, who lives in Russia and were covered in his weekly blog. This illegal war is starting to hurt the Russian population and for what ?? To satisfy the wannabe Tsar's ego !!
@@marviwilson1853 like butter and eggs ? but i read also that fuel has gone up 13% (inflation) as labour shortage pushes up wages which pushes up prices to pay for extra wages for the labour... and as everything is transported using fuel, everything goes up, all that black market stuff under sanction goes up in price, spare parts LOL as ru makes nothing 🤣😆😆
Yeah, Russian tanks have basically zero safe guards for their crews. It's Russian military tradition to view from line troops as completely expendable. So they are completely green crews with zero experience. Which drives casualties even higher.
First of all, yeah 10,000 lost tanks sounds like a big number, however, Russia had a massive lead over any other country with over 50,000 tanks. Ukraine and the US had each about half as many. That's a fact! So as usual, all gas lighting and smoke screens.

Just as Germany never really de-Nazified, I never really believed the Soviets system had been rooted out at the so-called ‘end of history’ 1989. I knew all this would be back one day.
Actually, it looks like we initiated this war. First by expanding NATO eastward. Second, by our involvement in the Ukraine coup that resulted in Zelensky's election. Third, by our instruction to Zelensky to not sign the peace agreement with Russia.

@Carl-w$h I think your figure for tank losses is radically LOW. Research shows they lost 83,500 tanks lost: 5,200 heavy tanks, 44,900 medium tanks, 33,400 light tanks. 13,000 SPGs lost: 2,300 heavy SPGs, 2,100 medium SPGs, 8,600 light SPGs. 37,600 Armoured car and half-track. Lend-Lease losses: 11,900 tanks and self-propelled guns, over 5,000 armoured personnel carriers. Stuka ace Hans-Ulrich Rudel destroyed 519 Russian tanks by himself. Just one man and his aircraft. Oh BTW he bagged a battleship and a cruiser as well and other war material. Just saying.
Speculation on figures from a figure who you have just applauded for manipulating the figures and false news. I am totally against Russia but we know Ukraine needs us to fight alongside them, and hugely increase our supplies of shells and hardware. Us, the UK, NOT the USA. It is we in Europe who need to take this much more seriously, not the USA. Also that bloke was as clear as mud at times. He tried to cover too many topics in one delivery so lost focus. If you are going to hammer in some nails dont try too many nails or you going to mis-hit some. This is an analogy. ( Ie, dont waffle).
The EU is trying to expand and build military factories. Issue is the underlying laws and agreements between multiple countries. These can take years to finish up.
That's why it's one of the only positives of being out of an unwieldy octopus that is EU. I was a remainer but we here (UK) have less red tape and hopefully someone foresaw this two long years ago. Europe? They are pulling in all directions so I am sure some have taken the initiative but Ukraine is short of shells. No 1 problem. And men.

As of 2023 Russia had a population of 143.8 million. Their casualties are a mix of different nationalities, so even when it reaches the 1mill mark... that will still be less than 1% of their people. In just manpower they can keep this war going for many years to come. Would probably be beneficial if their technology wasn't garbage af 🤷♂️
They will not have lost a million men by the end of 2025.
That number includes severely disabled and wounded in action. Some of the wounded in action are injured multiple times and are in the count more than once.
But their Kia and severely disabled rates are through the roof. They use terrible military tactics and have terrible medical support for their injured. As a society, they treat disabled military veterans very poorly.
After world War II, over a million disabled veterans simply disappeared.
I am a little surprised that Robert Fox refers to the official inflation rate (Russian sources) of approx. 9 % in Russia, without mentioning that the real inflation rate is considered to be significantly higher, around 30 %. The central bank rate is currently 21 %, which does not correlate with an inflation rate of 9 %, but more likely around 30 %.
This is correct, but its a grey market inside Russia as they don't officially trade, so the conclusions are guesses.
The most telling indicator are the rates, which a good bank will try to make higher than inflation without triggering stagflation. And, they can't really do that.
Russia is in trouble
The Russian bank's independence has been sacrificed to Kremlin control because of the baying of the Duma hounds recently. The interest rate was therefore not raised as urgently necessary and has thus opened the flood gates to hyperinflation.
Whilst I also have praise for Budanov, he is still dealing with a mountain of misinformation and the worst part is the western media and western analysts presuming Russia has infinite resources. The idea that Russia can't be defeated militarily drives the media frenzy over "peace" talks. I would like to see Budanov (and Ukraine in general) start to talk about Russian weakness.
Are you a secret agent?
Western media sensationalizes Russian gains and ignores Ukrainian ones. Joe Lindsley has pointed this out a number of times. This gives the false impression that Ukraine cannot win.
Budanov is in the midst of the information and decision-making apparatuses in Ukraine. He is nobody's little fool! Slava Ukraine. Heroyam Slava!
@@allysonashby5201 Are you an Azov general secretary?
Western media is mostly useless with few exceptions.
If Russia has infinite resources as they claim, Vladimir Putin wouldn’t have to grovel with hat in hand to Pyongyang.
Russia is cash poor, hurting for young men to fight Putin’s war and clearly is losing tanks and artillery faster than Russia can replace them. It might be possible to replace military equipment but it won’t be quick. Especially if President Trump makes his first trip
as President, to Saudi Arabia just as he did in his first term.

Missing word: 'believe' after 'I'. Also 'knew' is past tense, 'knows' is present indefinite and therefore appropriate.
'Putin knows' = it's current knowledge of his.
@@deborahcurtis1385 No I don't think so. I believe the opening "I" is a misspelled "If" : "If only Putin knew ... " is perfectly acceptable, as is the conditional "If only Putin had known (how badly things would be) going".

Not that Putin is the only man on earth who recognizes that said results are catastrophic - which is what your proposed edit would imply.

lets hear your comments about the russian economy then
@@torsion2 The Russian economy is growing nicely, with the "sanctions" invigorating the economy, especially as EU member states are now paying increased costs for Russian energy via third parties like India. The forecast is for a 3.5% to 4% growth rate for the Russian economy in 2025, whilst the EU economies expect less than 1%, with Germany, once Europe's economic powerhouse, now in its second year in recession.
Wrong. Inflation in real life in Russia is around 48%
Interest rates follow inflation. Central bank last week set rate at 23%, so inflation is around 20%.
@@thinkerly-hq8dx Source? I thought it's still 21%.

Putin must have planned the 'special military operation' based on planet Venus day lengths. 😁
UK has 90 operational tanks. Russia LOST 10 000! Which number is more shocking?
The latter. Britain has an anti tank ditch
The UK supports an expeditionary military.
I don’t know. But I know which one is more true.
@@Royston-k7r How do you know?
These war numbers, casualties and equipment, have zero credibility.
9% inflation is a lie. Inflation is above the interest rate - by definition.
Says who? Central bank interest rate needs to be above inflation to be effective.
Those who actually compare consumer prices put the figure around 30%. Russian stats cannot be trusted.
Generally, it is the other way around.
You risk stagflation by raising rates too high, which Russia has entered, but using higher interest to combat high inflation is standard.
Inflation figures are only as meaningful as the services and commodities used to measure it. I wonder if they include the cost of mortgages for flats and houses. If the cost of borrowing goes up 2% then so should inflation.
No, you have it backwards. Central bank set rate at 23% to discourage loans, so inflation is around 20%. If interest were below inflation, everyone would take out loans because they would beat inflation - free money.

I just love the library in the background. I suppose he knows exactly where that page on that book can be found.
Russia has a long tradition of grinding down their own forces. It really depends what you would consider a “human wave” but Russia has been doing this since the Swedish invasion. They lost their entire military basically twice in that war and had to re-mobilize a new armies. They melted every church bell in Russia to make cannons because they lost all their equipment. What we are seeing now in Ukraine is similar to what the Russians realized in WW1. Unless some technological breakthrough presents an opportunity to support that human wave, then they just hit a brick wall. In WW1 artillery and Machine Gun nests were too much for the Russians to overcome. Especially considering that they had poor logistics and tactical inferiority. The fact of the matter is, Russia only won WW2 because tanks provided a tactical advantage to open up the enemy front. Human waves would grind down that front but typically it was a “throw men and materials where it matters most”, use numerical superiority to make offensive thrusts. The German army in WW2 was fighting a multi front war and had no strategic oil reserves. Russia, even without the western allies, was in a strategic position to win WW2 despite the absolute failures in the first couple years. Why is that? Well they had developed all the advancements necessary to win eventually. PPSH sub machine guns we’re widely available, SVT-40s were already in production to replace bolt action rifles, artillery shells were in abundance with dedicated infrastructure for mass production, the T-34 tank was designed and under going testing and was a revolution in tank design. People forget that the German army primarily rolled into Russia with Kar-98 rifles and light tanks like the Panzer 3, with medium tanks at the spear head. Looking at this perspective, it’s easy to understand Russias lack luster performance in Ukraine. They had no technological advantages that made a human wave viable. There was nothing that gave them an overwhelming advantage upon either breaking through or over running a position. So it’s basically like Russia just hitting a never ending wall “as long as Ukraine keeps getting military aid”. They don’t have the money or logistics or technological advantage. Even if they got a break through, those forces don’t have a monopoly. The cost in men and material alone would make it impossible to exploit the gap. All anyone can really hope for is that both sides come to the negotiating table and agree to compromise. Neither side really has incentive to keep fighting. Ukraine will obviously have to give up Donetsk, while Russia will have to withdraw from ethnic Ukrainian territory. Being honest, the other breakaway republic is under populated and isn’t really valuable to Russia. It’s under developed and Russia would be better suited investing resources in their own regions. If Russia was a mother, she has 200 kids and only Moscow and Saint Petersburg are really doing well. Obviously mother Russia doesn’t need to adopt two breakaway republics but I’d argue just give her one so she chills the F out
Do the math. Ukraine lost before this war started. The war will be over before the end of winter. These jokers don't know squat. Trump will come about some type of agreement and Ukraine won't be as well off as if they would have just negotiated and not having a war. They are corrupt and the money we are giving to fund this war half of it is in some oligarch's pockets.
Let's not forget they lost their entire fleet to the Japanese a little over a hundred years ago, and simply made another one. They do not care about each other. They are essentially an armed force made up of zombies.
The Russian economy is supposed to be in dire straits. Currency is low, inflation is very bad and interest rate very high. Cost of food and basics rising.
RS. Canada
Sorry but the London Standard is known to exaggerate and is avidly anti-Russia/Putin.
Trump walks out of the Hanoi summit with Kim as he won't lift sanctions. 🤔 Meanwhile Ukraine is preparing for war with or without Trump.
ukraine is dumb and weak
Are you a secret agent?
Trump said he would cut aid if Zelensky refuses to come to the negotiating table. Zelensky will come, but that doesn't mean he can't say no to whatever is proposed (like territorial concessions).
Ukraine can continue to fight without US aid, especially if Europe steps up its game, which they would. They are increasingly aware that any one of them could be next. It would be more difficult for Ukraine, but they can continue.
When Trump realizes that he has been shut out of the process, he will see that as a failure he cannot accept. He will then realize that arming Ukraine to the teeth and lifting the Biden restrictions is the only option to end the war quickly.
@@timrider1224 Did you get toy soldiers for Christmas or a water pistol?
In the last months, Biden has provided sufficient kit and cash, coupled with European aid and profits from frozen Russian assets (I love the irony), that they have sufficient to get them through 2025. If, as predicted, Orcland develops a siezure in 5-6 months as predicted (by Budanov and others), it should be more than enough.
10'000 Soviet era rust buckets

I think the Times is running out of steam, it's been saying the end is nigh for Putin for the last 2 years.
Even if there is a compromise russia should not be allowed to rise again militarily..No one can ensure that.. So do not let off the pressure now..
'Should not be allowed’, eh? You and whose army? Ukraine’s all but done, now, and the pathetic EUSSR, having sent it all its heavy weapons and ammo, has nothing left to fight with. Neither can the EU raise any sizeable forces: its own sold-out citizens despise it.
Everybody's country has the right to be a sovereign nation but Putin has been a mafia style president. Remember Russia helped us in ww2 they just need a better leader that cares about the people rather than trying to build an empire.
🤡
the ruble has lost 10% in the past two weeks, this jacks up inflation, even if the ru figures refuse to admit it. It is a matter of fact, as now everything costs 10% more
😆
That's a low estimation, considering as of a week ago potatoes had risen 84% in price since August '24. Butter is up by 35% and is being kept in security packs in locked cooler cabinets in the majority of supermarkets across Russia. The average increase across all food items/ household purchases is 35%. Those numbers are as per Steve Rosenberg from the BBC, who lives in Russia and were covered in his weekly blog. This illegal war is starting to hurt the Russian population and for what ??
To satisfy the wannabe Tsar's ego !!
Only those things bought from outside Russia.
@@marviwilson1853 like butter and eggs ? but i read also that fuel has gone up 13% (inflation) as labour shortage pushes up wages which pushes up prices to pay for extra wages for the labour... and as everything is transported using fuel, everything goes up, all that black market stuff under sanction goes up in price, spare parts LOL as ru makes nothing 🤣😆😆
Sounds just like the Yookay.
How about all those crews? Who would want to be in a Russian tank?
I don't know if anyone in Russia doing what he really wants to do.
Yeah, Russian tanks have basically zero safe guards for their crews. It's Russian military tradition to view from line troops as completely expendable. So they are completely green crews with zero experience. Which drives casualties even higher.
@@bluedistortions I think you're confusing the Ukrainians being slaughtered by NATO for Russians.
😂😂😂10k tanks? that's beyond hilarious
First of all, yeah 10,000 lost tanks sounds like a big number, however, Russia had a massive lead over any other country with over 50,000 tanks. Ukraine and the US had each about half as many. That's a fact! So as usual, all gas lighting and smoke screens.
Hasta la vista Rossija and poooooor Poootin!

Seriously injured troops are more of a load on the system than fatalities. They require a constant input of care and they also are visible to the civilian population.
