This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen! I especially appreciate how you brought up the horrors of the war crimes. An excellent documentary worthy of study. Thank you
Worked with a kid from Crotia and his story about anyone on the street, no matter who, was targeted for fun. People trying to get to work or get some food, returning to family, it didn't matter. Interesting story Tino.
In 1999, children from Kosovo came as refugees to where I live in Australia. I was only a kid too, so I was sent to go and hang out with them, a few of them spoke english and the things they told me were absolutely fucked. One kid told me the Serbians shot his father as he ran down the stairs carrying the boys suitcase and they laughed at him as he stumbled down and died, right infront of the whole family. I remember him telling me that most of them had lost fathers, grandfathers, uncles, to similar sort of killings. The Serbians did it, just for fun.
@@supabass4003 Serbians were Slavic . But , weren't the Kosovians Slavic too ? Would like an explanation of this . The Serbians were Slavic , and were advocates of the Czarist idea of having a Pan- Slavic state . Hence , the Prince of the Hapsburg - Empire Franz Joseph was assassinated by a serb anarchist , along with his wife too . Hence : the chain reaction of Germany , it's Kaiser honored a promise to come to the Hapsburg Empire if the Hapsburg Empire was provoked / attacked . Germany funded ,vAnd sent troops , and weapons to fend off the Russians attacking the Balkans . Germany's entrance against Russian attacks was see an act of war by France . France , and Russia were a hollow alliance . Nevertheless , France honored their alliance with Russia , and declared war on.Germany . Germany , then declared war on France , after Germany declared on war on Russia , along with it's long ally the Hapsburg Empire . So , Great Britain declared war on Germany , and , by now the Central alliance , being that Turkey took the side of The Hapsburgs , and Germany , hence , The Central Powers . Great Britain became an ally of Russia band France to thwart long feared German aggressiveness . And , WW1 was on its way by late July , 1914 . What's interestingly bizarre , some civilians , of financial wellness , including some prominent figures of France , wen to witness the very early , 1st battle , and were shocked , and awed about how brutal the war was going to be ; similar to the 1st battle during "The American Civil WaR ", where a picnic type atmosphere was , and that the war would be finished in a month . But , 4 bloody yrs. followed . , and nearly 10, 000, 000 soldiers , and a few civilians perished in the " WAR TO END ALL WARS " . Just over 20 yrs. Later , Europe would be embroiled I'm a more devasting war ; WW2 ! But , this time a newer , and a disciplined Army , Navy , and Airpower was emerging that had Europeans with colonies in the Pacific were warily turning their heads over their shoulders on a nation whose military was like that of the Nazis, but , Evan more fanatical , and tenacious in the Imperialistic / Fascist Japanese . Imperial/ Fascist Japan was opportunistic in gobbling up territories lost by Imperialist European nations , while their military was gaining it's prowess everyday , especially their Navy . Actually , Imperialist / Fascist Japan invaded China's Mongolia ares in 1931+ 1932 . Some historians believe such actions by Imperialist / Fascist Japan were the start of WW2 , or the invasion of China proper in 1937 was a start of WW2 .
So sorry I wasn’t able to watch live. I’m just getting a chance to watch it at 8 o’clock at night Saturday. I am anxious to watch this & hear what you have to say about the Ukraine I genuinely respect your opinion I do genuinely regret missing the live show and q&a Thank you for making this available You do a great job Tino 👍🤗🙋🏻♀️
Another great video, Tino! tks for open up our yes and make us learn history. Humanity should learn from history, but why the hell we make the same mistakes??? Best regards!
Because our people keep trusting chicken swingers, and allowing them to slither into every position of influence and power. Plenty of good historical men gave warning about this.
Profound. Gives much pause to reflect. I think this is your best work to date Tino. You’ve transcended the historical documentary form with something very special.
Hi Tino, i have watched with great interest this episode, in fact i watched it several times. A very good lesson on the history of battles in Kiev. Great work Tino.
The reason the fuel tanks do explode, is they are filled with diesel. The BMP1 has a diesel engine. This means the fuel tanks can add to the armor protection from small arms.
Interesting and informative. Excellent photography job/maps enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Special thanks to veteran soldiers/civilians sharing personal information/combat experiences. Making this documentary more authentic and possible.
@@tinostruckmann one question was it confirmed that Ukraine blew up the Dam or was it the Russians cuz I don't remember any confirmation on that if I remember correctly everyone blame the Russians cuz they occupied it at the time of it being destroyed and pulled back their armor but left a some infantry on those islands there were multiple interviews with Russian high-ranking soldiers that were stationed in that area and they were ordered to put explosives in the Dam. if you have a Source on where you got information that Ukraine blew it I would really like to look at that
A very moving & thought provoking vlog from you, Tino. It seems that as long as war exists, then atrocities will always be present, & being from the winning or losing side plays no part in who conducts them. It will always make no difference how civilised a society has become, it's simply that, giving young men weapons & telling them they must kill their enemy, will always result in civilian casualties, as it is always dependent on how the effects of their personal experience of war have been to them. Regards Urban Geeze.
This brought tears to my eyes children's Teddy bears 🐻 in the cars wrecked by Russian troops purposely deliberately destroyed ,my tears go out to those who still are an have lost there lives 💔 in this despicable war against Ukraine 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 Glory Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤❤❤
and also the ethnic Russians shelled tortured and burnt alive in Donbass after the 2014 coup. Sadly those documentaries by mainstream media have been both removed from YT and forgotten by many. Nobody should be dying like this at all.
@@ApxPrdtr-ud8qd Many videos still on UA-cam but shadow banned/suppressed in search. UA-cam deletes comments with links, video titles depending on the channel they're posted in.
Compliment to you Tino. You handle recent subjects as well as anything you did on the world wars. Without doubt your audience will continously follow you, whichever affair after 1945 you decide to cover. You really are outstanding in compariosn to others dealing on those subjects.
Old military saying: Regardless of technical advances, infantry soldiers with rifles and bayonets winkling the enemy out of trenches and bunkers, are the final arbiters.. (see also: Hand grenades) Just because your battlefield computer / drone-feed says your tanks have broken through, without close infantry support, they may not last long under a shower of anti-armour weapons carried by the OPPOSING infantry.
all attention....rarely such a clean analysis that is based only on data and facts!!!!! Very nice so everyone can make their own picture! Thank you for your good work and greetings from Germany
Interesting video, however 2 things: 1) In 1941 the defenders were NOT Russians, they were Soviets. 2) It is NOT Kiev, it is Kyiv(Keeve) The Russian army has for centuries been one of the world's best armies.... at killing civilians, defeating enemy armies.... not so much.
An editing tip only: Next time 1941 and 2023 footage is used overlapping, select colorized 1941 clips and deliberately use black and white filter for the 2023 clips to make the viewer think about the timelessness of the whole thing.
Had Hitler not invaded the USSR, Stalin would have invaded Western Europe within the same summer to, following Lenins logic of world comunism, to make the first big step of installing world comunsism and repell capitalism. For that purpose he had amassed all the troops and materiel along the border. As 20.000 maps of Western Europe were found by adavancing German troops, is one explanation of the surprinsingliy fast progress the Wehrmacht made in the early stages. The Soviet troops were prepared for attack, not for defense. Having no maps of their own territory at hand, delayed slwong the German advance effectively. There was a book published in Germany about 2010 by a pensioned Soviet General titled "Stalins verhinderter Erstschlag" which was well recherched, sourcing archives in Moscow and Germany.
Thanks alot for this unusual but wery relevant angle of this topic 🙂 could we hope that there would come a part 2 and 3 looking at the actual war on that way? Karkow and hopefully soon Krim ..!
This just shows how much we have advanced as people in 80 years , same place same people same weapons same war same milliom dead , my how we have grown and evolved as killers
This is one of the best, but in a way darkest of videodocumentories that I have watched, the way we as humans have reused things to help us fight in conflict's that should now not be so. And the way we still have not learnt anything from the human losses. An eye opener with a human factor. May we finally learn from this war that human life is more valuable than what we are now.🇺🇦😥🇬🇧🙏
@@tinostruckmann Yes unfortunately some humans will always be like that, but if enough people like us do enough for the others to maybe stop and think about what it is that they are doing.🙏🇺🇦🇬🇧👍
Just watched this and as military historian also I agree with what you said the war criminals must be brought to justice and quickly. In my view this includes Putin. I am surprised that so many of the Stalin bunkers were in such good shape still. I think that this is your best work to date keep it up.
Saying Bravo, doesn't feel right with the subject matter, but that was Frontline, Nova quality. Very original and interesting of the splicing 41 and the present together.
fantastic video for comparison between 1941 and present day activities, such coverage well above your usual high standard you can see very easily that Ukraine defence have been very quick to cannibalise wrecked Russian tanks and vehicles in order to maintain others - but i have myself far better plan for taking a tank out of action without damaging and wasting a usable resource or harming its crew, its partially by means of robot and psychological, after demobilising the vehicle, the crew would become disorientated and bail out, unless the tank is disabled by the crew it can be soon turned against the enemy, and if repeated over many tanks and vehicles, Putin would simply be sending his tanks to be taken over and used against him its another odd thing and of course completely wrong that the Russians continued to show frustration towards Ukrainian civilians, i can almost understand that, but when it came to defending themselves against attack, is shooting at civilian targets just a waste of munitions, while it is monstrous it is also their own deaf warrant, it really shows the desperate situation on behalf of the Russians to send in an army, ill equipped, with little experience led by incompetent leaders all the way to the top, Putin - all so sure of their intentions and very much not in tune with reality - thankfully the Ukrainians have shown a great hand that they can beat Putin's oppression
What? 2 days? Jesus marian joseph. Tino. I demand you play this now. lets go. Shake and Bake!!! Lmao. Just joking. I hope you are safe and doing well my friend. Cannot wait to see vid.
Thank you for making this documentary. I was not impressed with Russia before and I can see how hatred can grow so quickly. How the Russian people can stand by an watch this is unbelievable. A normal country would rise up against such atrocities of a so called civilised country. Thank you again for showing the true nature of Russia
That was an excellent documentary style episode, the haunting sight of those teddy bears is heart breaking the sooner putins mob is defeated and sent back home the better and i for one dont care if it is in body bags.
Thank you Tino, I was hanging on every sentence. I am sure the Ukraine will win this war. However, despite the war crimes committed by the Russian military, The Russian people are not evil, just indoctrinated. My hope is the current regime is toppled from within.
The Canadian parliament just gave two standing ovations to Yaroslav Hunker a 98 year-old Waffen SS Nazi. Canada even has a University Scholarship in his name. His Galizien division is known to have committed massive war crimes. Yaroslav must've been vetted before entering the parliament building. So, Canadian government either willingly applauded a former Nazi OR they don't know that the Russians fought on the Allies side in ww2. Which is more shocking? btw Canada gave sanctuary to Ukrainian nazis at the end of ww2 so the West could start an insurgency against the Soviet Union occupation. Russia lost 26.5 million people fighting the Nazis in ww2.
The king Tiger would be effective today? It was already completely outclassed by the T-54, M47 and Centurion, coming out a couple years after the war, and aside from heavy armor was overall not a very good vehicle to begin with. It is perhaps the WORST WWII tank you could use today. Slow, heavy, complicated, armor completely inadequate against even 1950s-60s anti-tank weapons, unable to keep up with any modern vehicles, gun not suited for infantry support but useless against any tank made after the 1960s.
Tino A Group of Army Cadets could take out that Tank Brigade with Anti Armour Rockets and a steady Nerve ! Old Vlad was Complacent and and somewhat Arrogant too Bit like Adolf but Technology Changes Mans Nature Doesn't! Puti Missed his Chance of Kiev Ages ago! ..Its No easy feat to move Armour and Troops in this Day and Age and not Have some Bugger know about it ..Know what im saying Pal 👍😎
As a former soldier, I am one who wishes to avoid another war, although evil is on the rise and therefore must be fought. The question becomes, how do you fight such a war, as that in Ukraine, without provoking a larger wider war? How do you protect, civilians, and reduce civilian casualties, especially when the enemy is clearly willing to slaughter them to satisfy their blood lust? How do you drive that enemy off your land, without that enemy laying total waste to your country on his way out? I don't have the answers, but I do know that it would require competent, and strong leadership from the Western powers. Unfortunately, there is NONE of either competence or strength from the West at present. The PRC is rising (politically), and as its economy continues to fail, it drives Chairman Xi even closer to pulling the war pin. After all, he has less and less to lose. Russia is largely in the same boat, and Putin already pulled that pin. Soon the two major second-tier powers edging ever closer to war because they have little to lose either way, the prospect of a major world war looms ever greater. Will North Korea make the decision to attack the South again? Will Venezuela attack one or more of its neighbors? Will the Iranians be emboldened to the point of going after Israel? Where else will long-smoldering tensions flare up? With the waffling, and dithering leadership in the West, how long will it take the West to begin to fight back? Or, will they just roll over and give up. Then evil will have won.
You still think Russia is holding back their good stuff😂 well you're in for a huge surprise 80% of Russia's equipment its soviet-era or has been modernized from soviet-era
I would imagine most of those 600,000 Russians in Kiev wanted to escape the horrors of the bolsheviks and were only to glad to surrender to the Germans
Thank you for sharing this. It was quite a insightful video and the narrative was very informative. You are so right in your last comments in regards to the atrocities that were committed. Russian people are not sadistic people, just some of the indoctrination that has blinded them. I do hope that they get a change of leadership soon that can help with the healing process between the Ukraine and Russian peoples
Русские такие же фашисты, как и были фашисты Германии. Они расстреливали и убивали мирных женщин, детей, стариков, насиловали даже младенцев! Грабили в домах имущество, разрушали все на своем пути. Это изверги! Они все поддерживают Путина и оккупационную войну против Украины ! Это агрессивная страна и нация, которые убивали людей в Чечне, Грузии, Приднестровье(Молдова) , Сирии, незаконно оккупировали Крым, сбили Малайзийский Боинг MH-17, начали войну в 2014 году и оккупировали Донбасс и в 2022 году напали подло на Украину и по сей день ежедневно бьют ракетами по городам, мирным жителям , убивают всех! Это нелюди! Многие, кто из россиян живут в Европе и Америке поддерживают Путина и войну в Украине! 👎🏻 Не говорите, что россияне не садисты и не убийцы! Пусть будут они все прокляты за все горе, кровь и слезы многим народам!
The inside of that tank that was destroyed reminded me of the Apollo 1 training mission, when the 3 astronauts died. Russia hasn't gotten a change with the brave Ukrainian fighters like this. They need to get a new Russian leader who doesn't want to just send them to their death's.
How prophetic US of As highly decorated , and prominent General George S. Patton , was about the future problems that the Soviet Union , and later Russia , would be . Evan in the late 1890s , and early 1900s , Russia was causing mischief in the Balkans , with the fanaticism of Pan - Slavic state (s) . The assassination if Hapsburg Prince Joeseph was a result of Russia causing mischief that resulted in the 1st WW.
Sometimes I can not help thougts coming to my mind, our planet will take a deep breathe when mankind will be gone someday. We really are the worst species.
Brill video, but I wonder why the hell can we all not all live in peace !!, we live on a tiny blob among st billions of blobs,I wish I was a god !!.I would sort it out !!!, ha ha ha
great music at the end! The teddy bears show what the Russians are doing and why they will loose this war : they bomb civilians and their infrastructure instead of military objects. This whole war makes me puke! I hope this mess will end soon as war shouldn't be part of this century!
There are definitely similarities however, WW2 on the eastern front was a titanic battle for existence. The war in Ukraine is more like a border dispute/civil war. Not even close in size or scope. Also the Russians won WW2.
My grand father worked for the English merchant navy always said that Nazism lost the war but still strong around the world and yes we saw Justin Trudeau praising Nazi in Canada 🍁 we hope he gets punished and sent in prison were farmers of Canada take care of him 🤣🤣🤣
The Kharkiv factory produced T-64 and T-80 in soviet times, but they haven’t been able to produce new tanks since the 90s. All of the “new” Ukrainian (and most Russian) tanks are refurbished soviet-era hulls. Since 2014 they were (very slowly) refurbishing/modernizing the huge amount of derelict T-64s Ukraine has, but in batches of like 10 at a time.
Okay if that was the case then why where they stopped right outside of the capital they went to the capital to try to capture the government and take out the president or have him surrender there is multiple evidence from Russian side that have collaborated this story
The hull design yes, but capabilities wise they are on a completely different tier. There are very few tanks developed after the 1980s because those tanks left plenty of room for upgrades.
ah yes the war crimes the story of which is completly one sided. not that i was expecting anything else seeing how you couldn't exactly walk into Kiev and start asking awkward questions like "you have a lot of support from NATO, MAYBE you exaggerated or just MADE UP SOME STUFF?"
I got to the part where you said "it was suppose to be 3 day operation" russia never gave a time estimate on SMO. this was said by milley and than the media ran with it. Sorry not going to watch something told only to align with your perceptions and beliefs. Use facts
There's a thousand stories to tell but I have to limit myself to telling the story of the battle of Kiev in this episode I cannot tell every story and every relevance pertaining to the situation Ukraine in one episode so I focused on what happened here I even stated it in the beginning and I'm not covering the entire war or the reasons for it
Mercenaries get paid volunteers don't those people that went to fight to help defend Ukraine ARe volunteers. Wagner is a mercenary private military group
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen! I especially appreciate how you brought up the horrors of the war crimes. An excellent documentary worthy of study. Thank you
Unbelievable stuff! One of your best videos. Your "guide" was awesome, his knowledge is much appreciated 👌
Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮😊

What up Tino! Love what you are doing with your channel. I never miss an episode. Great stuff! 🎉
Great work Tino!!!
DONT FORGET LIVE QA RIGHT AFTER
Worked with a kid from Crotia and his story about anyone on the street, no matter who, was targeted for fun. People trying to get to work or get some food, returning to family, it didn't matter. Interesting story Tino.
In 1999, children from Kosovo came as refugees to where I live in Australia. I was only a kid too, so I was sent to go and hang out with them, a few of them spoke english and the things they told me were absolutely fucked. One kid told me the Serbians shot his father as he ran down the stairs carrying the boys suitcase and they laughed at him as he stumbled down and died, right infront of the whole family. I remember him telling me that most of them had lost fathers, grandfathers, uncles, to similar sort of killings. The Serbians did it, just for fun.
@@supabass4003 Serbians were Slavic . But , weren't the Kosovians Slavic too ? Would like an explanation of this .
The Serbians were Slavic , and were advocates of the Czarist idea of having a Pan- Slavic state . Hence , the Prince of the Hapsburg - Empire Franz Joseph was assassinated by a serb anarchist , along with his wife too . Hence : the chain reaction of Germany , it's Kaiser honored a promise to come to the Hapsburg Empire if the Hapsburg Empire was provoked / attacked . Germany funded ,vAnd sent troops , and weapons to fend off the Russians attacking the Balkans . Germany's entrance against Russian attacks was see an act of war by France . France , and Russia were a hollow alliance . Nevertheless , France honored their alliance with Russia , and declared war on.Germany . Germany , then declared war on France , after Germany declared on war on Russia , along with it's long ally the Hapsburg Empire . So , Great Britain declared war on Germany , and , by now the Central alliance , being that Turkey took the side of The Hapsburgs , and Germany , hence , The Central Powers . Great Britain became an ally of Russia band France to thwart long feared German aggressiveness . And , WW1 was on its way by late July , 1914 .
What's interestingly bizarre , some civilians , of financial wellness , including some prominent figures of France , wen to witness the very early , 1st battle , and were shocked , and awed about how brutal the war was going to be ; similar to the 1st battle during "The American Civil WaR ", where a picnic type atmosphere was , and that the war would be finished in a month . But , 4 bloody yrs. followed . , and nearly 10, 000, 000 soldiers , and a few civilians perished in the " WAR TO END ALL WARS " . Just over 20 yrs. Later , Europe would be embroiled I'm a more devasting war ; WW2 ! But , this time a newer , and a disciplined Army , Navy , and Airpower was emerging that had Europeans with colonies in the Pacific were warily turning their heads over their shoulders on a nation whose military was like that of the Nazis, but , Evan more fanatical , and tenacious in the Imperialistic / Fascist Japanese . Imperial/ Fascist Japan was opportunistic in gobbling up territories lost by Imperialist European nations , while their military was gaining it's prowess everyday , especially their Navy . Actually , Imperialist / Fascist Japan invaded China's Mongolia ares in 1931+ 1932 . Some historians believe such actions by Imperialist / Fascist Japan were the start of WW2 , or the invasion of China proper in 1937 was a start of WW2 .

its another odd thing and of course completely wrong that the Russians continued to show frustration towards Ukrainian civilians, i can almost understand that, but when it came to defending themselves against attack, is shooting at civilian targets just a waste of munitions, while it is monstrous it is also their own deaf warrant, it really shows the desperate situation on behalf of the Russians to send in an army, ill equipped, with little experience led by incompetent leaders all the way to the top, Putin - all so sure of their intentions and very much not in tune with reality - thankfully the Ukrainians have shown a great hand that they can beat Putin's oppression
Haha
Good Day to all. 🇬🇧
Stalin 'dismissed' his officers. Well, that's one way of looking at it.
Well some more permanent than others...
Tino with no disrespect intended i believe you could portray Field Marshal Erwin Rommel you have an uncanny resemblence to the General
What? 2 days? Jesus marian joseph. Tino. I demand you play this now. lets go. Shake and Bake!!! Lmao. Just joking. I hope you are safe and doing well my friend. Cannot wait to see vid.
Thank you for making this documentary. I was not impressed with Russia before and I can see how hatred can grow so quickly. How the Russian people can stand by an watch this is unbelievable. A normal country would rise up against such atrocities of a so called civilised country. Thank you again for showing the true nature of Russia
That was an excellent documentary style episode, the haunting sight of those teddy bears is heart breaking the sooner putins mob is defeated and sent back home the better and i for one dont care if it is in body bags.
Thank you Tino, I was hanging on every sentence. I am sure the Ukraine will win this war. However, despite the war crimes committed by the Russian military, The Russian people are not evil, just indoctrinated. My hope is the current regime is toppled from within.
I disagree. This is the way people of the Muscovite empire always behaved.
@@gerryhouska2859 They've always been brutalized though, take that influence away and maybe in a few generations Russians will be civilized.
The Canadian parliament just gave two standing ovations to Yaroslav Hunker a 98 year-old Waffen SS Nazi. Canada even has a University Scholarship in his name. His Galizien division is known to have committed massive war crimes. Yaroslav must've been vetted before entering the parliament building. So, Canadian government either willingly applauded a former Nazi OR they don't know that the Russians fought on the Allies side in ww2. Which is more shocking? btw Canada gave sanctuary to Ukrainian nazis at the end of ww2 so the West could start an insurgency against the Soviet Union occupation. Russia lost 26.5 million people fighting the Nazis in ww2.
Just like a one way st.
Why can't all countries just get along? No love left?
There's plenty of love left.....the love of money and war is very, very profitable.
I see the irony in your statement@@haywoodyoudome
the t34 tanks were crude but fast and well made the king tiger would still be effective today it so well made
The king Tiger would be effective today? It was already completely outclassed by the T-54, M47 and Centurion, coming out a couple years after the war, and aside from heavy armor was overall not a very good vehicle to begin with.
It is perhaps the WORST WWII tank you could use today. Slow, heavy, complicated, armor completely inadequate against even 1950s-60s anti-tank weapons, unable to keep up with any modern vehicles, gun not suited for infantry support but useless against any tank made after the 1960s.
I see bankise been there making a barth in the blown up flats
Tino A Group of Army Cadets could take out that Tank Brigade with Anti Armour Rockets and a steady Nerve ! Old Vlad was Complacent and and somewhat Arrogant too Bit like Adolf but Technology Changes Mans Nature Doesn't! Puti Missed his Chance of Kiev Ages ago! ..Its No easy feat to move Armour and Troops in this Day and Age and not Have some Bugger know about it ..Know what im saying Pal 👍😎
I love the way Russians designed their tanks so their turrets join the airforce. Viva Ukraine, blyat Pootler!
You should come to the UK and look at RAF U wood abandoned
I would love to I'm planning on it at some point
@@tinostruckmann we have lots ww2 and cold war lost history round here , come over and we give you a tour ,Plur
As a former soldier, I am one who wishes to avoid another war, although evil is on the rise and therefore must be fought.
The question becomes, how do you fight such a war, as that in Ukraine, without provoking a larger wider war? How do you protect, civilians, and reduce civilian casualties, especially when the enemy is clearly willing to slaughter them to satisfy their blood lust? How do you drive that enemy off your land, without that enemy laying total waste to your country on his way out?
I don't have the answers, but I do know that it would require competent, and strong leadership from the Western powers.
Unfortunately, there is NONE of either competence or strength from the West at present.
The PRC is rising (politically), and as its economy continues to fail, it drives Chairman Xi even closer to pulling the war pin. After all, he has less and less to lose. Russia is largely in the same boat, and Putin already pulled that pin. Soon the two major second-tier powers edging ever closer to war because they have little to lose either way, the prospect of a major world war looms ever greater. Will North Korea make the decision to attack the South again? Will Venezuela attack one or more of its neighbors? Will the Iranians be emboldened to the point of going after Israel? Where else will long-smoldering tensions flare up?
With the waffling, and dithering leadership in the West, how long will it take the West to begin to fight back? Or, will they just roll over and give up.
Then evil will have won.
they always waste their old stuff and militia first then the waves of real troops and tanks come...
You still think Russia is holding back their good stuff😂 well you're in for a huge surprise 80% of Russia's equipment its soviet-era or has been modernized from soviet-era
most of ours is from the fuckinbg 70s and 80s too... thats bs too and you know it.... oh and javs arent shoulder fired?@@brianv1988
I would imagine most of those 600,000 Russians in Kiev wanted to escape the horrors of the bolsheviks and were only to glad to surrender to the Germans
It wasn’t until later that they realized the Germans viewed them with even more contempt than Moscow did
Virginia 🇺🇸👍🇺🇦💪
Slava RUSSIA !!!
END the Nazikraine!
This war, just like the previous one, must end in the defeat and unconditional surrender by the genocidal invader. Blyat chuilo PooTin and his orcs!
Thank you for sharing this. It was quite a insightful video and the narrative was very informative. You are so right in your last comments in regards to the atrocities that were committed. Russian people are not sadistic people, just some of the indoctrination that has blinded them. I do hope that they get a change of leadership soon that can help with the healing process between the Ukraine and Russian peoples
Русские такие же фашисты, как и были фашисты Германии. Они расстреливали и убивали мирных женщин, детей, стариков, насиловали даже младенцев! Грабили в домах имущество, разрушали все на своем пути. Это изверги! Они все поддерживают Путина и оккупационную войну против Украины ! Это агрессивная страна и нация, которые убивали людей в Чечне, Грузии, Приднестровье(Молдова) , Сирии, незаконно оккупировали Крым, сбили Малайзийский Боинг MH-17, начали войну в 2014 году и оккупировали Донбасс и в 2022 году напали подло на Украину и по сей день ежедневно бьют ракетами по городам, мирным жителям , убивают всех! Это нелюди! Многие, кто из россиян живут в Европе и Америке поддерживают Путина и войну в Украине! 👎🏻 Не говорите, что россияне не садисты и не убийцы! Пусть будут они все прокляты за все горе, кровь и слезы многим народам!
Thanks. GD Russians!
Tino wtf are you talkin' abaout???!!!!
Seven hundred thousand horses really?
The inside of that tank that was destroyed reminded me of the Apollo 1 training mission, when the 3 astronauts died. Russia hasn't gotten a change with the brave Ukrainian fighters like this. They need to get a new Russian leader who doesn't want to just send them to their death's.
How prophetic US of As highly decorated , and prominent General George S. Patton , was about the future problems that the Soviet Union , and later Russia , would be . Evan in the late 1890s , and early 1900s , Russia was causing mischief in the Balkans , with the fanaticism of Pan - Slavic state (s) . The assassination if Hapsburg Prince Joeseph was a result of Russia causing mischief that resulted in the 1st WW.
Sometimes I can not help thougts coming to my mind, our planet will take a deep breathe when mankind will be gone someday. We really are the worst species.
Brill video, but I wonder why the hell can we all not all live in peace !!, we live on a tiny blob among st billions of blobs,I wish I was a god !!.I would sort it out !!!, ha ha ha
Kiev is the russian spelling Kyiv is the Ukrainian spelling
The Russian spelling is the correct spelling.
great music at the end! The teddy bears show what the Russians are doing and why they will loose this war : they bomb civilians and their infrastructure instead of military objects. This whole war makes me puke! I hope this mess will end soon as war shouldn't be part of this century!
are u wearing masks around all that uranium dust man
Huh😅
very very sad.
Tino, You sure Dr Farrell thinks Ukraine's not doing well ?
Farrell is Z as fuck
😛😛😛😛😛❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
A lot of scrap metal in Ukraine
There are definitely similarities however, WW2 on the eastern front was a titanic battle for existence. The war in Ukraine is more like a border dispute/civil war. Not even close in size or scope. Also the Russians won WW2.
It should include Bush too.
My grand father worked for the English merchant navy always said that Nazism lost the war but still strong around the world and yes we saw Justin Trudeau praising Nazi in Canada 🍁 we hope he gets punished and sent in prison were farmers of Canada take care of him 🤣🤣🤣
im prettu sure ukraine had the factories to build and refurbish t-75s tino....us giving them abrams is dumb just gonna cost us more
Oh they did but they were bombed really really on
The Kharkiv factory produced T-64 and T-80 in soviet times, but they haven’t been able to produce new tanks since the 90s. All of the “new” Ukrainian (and most Russian) tanks are refurbished soviet-era hulls.
Since 2014 they were (very slowly) refurbishing/modernizing the huge amount of derelict T-64s Ukraine has, but in batches of like 10 at a time.
The Russian SMO never had any intention of capturing Kiev.
Okay if that was the case then why where they stopped right outside of the capital they went to the capital to try to capture the government and take out the president or have him surrender there is multiple evidence from Russian side that have collaborated this story
oh abrams are form teh 70s they ar e50 years old
The hull design yes, but capabilities wise they are on a completely different tier. There are very few tanks developed after the 1980s because those tanks left plenty of room for upgrades.
Still fight like panzies
The Russians would disagree. 3cy fights quite well actually.
Russia is WINNING !!!
And thank GOD for it!
@brigittehoffmann8965 keep telling yourself that
@@brigittehoffmann8965
It ain't over yet!
Even the lowest form of animals dont do what we do to each other,,,,,what a sad speices we are
ah yes the war crimes the story of which is completly one sided. not that i was expecting anything else seeing how you couldn't exactly walk into Kiev and start asking awkward questions like
"you have a lot of support from NATO, MAYBE you exaggerated or just MADE UP SOME STUFF?"
Are you serious? I think your comments about 2022 are a nice joke mate
Remember one thing.maybe some of us been there. I think you have no idea about what you talking about
It's unbelievable what disinformation. Related to 2022 u are throughing here
It may have failed in the beginning however it SURE AINT failing now. It’s a catastrophe for Ukraine now. 600,000 men dead. Horrible carnage.
I got to the part where you said "it was suppose to be 3 day operation" russia never gave a time estimate on SMO. this was said by milley and than the media ran with it. Sorry not going to watch something told only to align with your perceptions and beliefs. Use facts
U not saying anything about mercenaries deployed in Ukraine before thw war started. And many of them where US. British, french , etc
There's a thousand stories to tell but I have to limit myself to telling the story of the battle of Kiev in this episode I cannot tell every story and every relevance pertaining to the situation Ukraine in one episode so I focused on what happened here I even stated it in the beginning and I'm not covering the entire war or the reasons for it
Mercenaries get paid volunteers don't those people that went to fight to help defend Ukraine ARe volunteers. Wagner is a mercenary private military group
@@brianv1988 what about western mercenaries who are fighting along with the Nazi Ukrainian government.? Pathetic.
