According to General Hodges Ukraine is displaying their military prowess. Hard to believe he was ever the commander of US forces in Europe. I certainly hope he isn’t representative of our military leadership today.

They conveniently kill themselves then burn beyond all recognition before being captured. How stupid do they think we are to believe that line of baloney.
If Zelensky wanted to negotiate from a position of strength, he should’ve negotiated when Ukraine had strength. Ukrainian leadership has always acted irrationally, long before 2022. It’s difficult to understand.
Not difficult at all. The Russians have a proverb which can be loosely translated as "Greed was a man's downfall". Zelensky got greedy, and decided that with NATO's help he would defeat Russia and take Crimea back. Now Ukraine is paying the price for his astounding geopolitical stupidity.
Patrick Lancaster's videos from Kursk are very interesting because you get a good feeling for the landscapes. Lots of boggy fields, creeks and rivers, ditches, forests, meadows for grazing cows...little farms with chickens, a couple of pigs, geese... a real rural vacation for the North Koreans!! 🤯🤣
Not just stupid leaders, but leaders who could not care less about those brave men and their loved ones, evidenced by the fact that they keep pushing the war when they KNOW that they cannot win it. Z'sky needs to be tried and punished for what he is doing.
Actually there is a historical president of something like this happening where the frontline forces are losing soldiers and yet they are not being reinforced, while new brigades and units are being formed in the country. It happened in Nazi Germany where Hitler insisted on new units being created constantly while the needs of the frontline forces were ignored. My Friends, History is repeating itself
I never paid to much attention about Kursk,but when you look closely, there's hardly any settlements around just fields!? What's the point of this to lose you best soldiers!! Insanely stupid

The US in the Vietnam conflict did piecemeal replacement of manpower in units. The result was a lack or camaraderie that one gets from serving together long periods. I am told (no direct experience) that one fights as much for his companions as for his country. It was a bad idea then as it would be now.
I find it amazing that Daniel talks of cutting off a supply line, a road. But never have i heard anyone explain why the railway between Poland and kyiv has not been blown up. That railway is the #1 supply line for weapons. So who fights a war but lets one side keep re supplying itself??
The supply lines he is referring to are close to the front line. It is attacked with drones, FAB 1500 and 3000s, and artillery . The rail line you are referring to is far from the front line. Out of range of small drones, artillery and Russian jets dropping FAB 1500s and 3000s. Russia would have to use hundreds of expensive missiles and shahed drones, many of which are brought down by anti-air fire, to destroy rail lines that are cheap and relatively easy to replace. It wouldn't make sense to waste finite and expensive items on such a foolhardy venture.
One of Russias objectives is demilitarisation ... so they want to engage in attrition. They don't want mass surrender other they'll be back in x years.
They don't want to cut it off, not yet. The Russians are playing the long game, they know that some of the NATO nations might want to get together and take a shot at them after the Ukraine goes down, so they're leaving the supply lines open so they can destroy as much NATO equipment as possible ahead of time. Costs them more now, but it means that NATO will be effectively demilitarized by the end of the year. Same reason they haven't blown all the power lines from the EU to Ukraine, it makes energy more costly for the EU since they keep exporting electricity and this is killing industry in the EU. Which of course is good for Russia.
@@photon3999 Also, keep in mind even modern Artillery/Rockets aren't perfect, if Russia attacks near the Poland border and even a tiny bit of collateral damage or fragments land on Poland's soil, NATO and the rest of the evil doers keeping this needless slaughter going, will use such an event to encourage Poland to send troops too. NATO and the U.S. with our puppet president, are itching for any excuse to expand the War. The U.S. Congress had talked about authorizing a U.S. Military Draft to even include women at one point. Putin knows this and that's why he stays well away from other Countries borders with any kind of Military barrage.
They won't bother targeting the rail road , but there were cases of Russian struck trains that was transporting ammunition and equipment , which imo , did more damage .
When Ukraine drones everyone in Kursk is North Korean. When the Ukrainian infantry attack fails, those North Koreans are nowhere to be seen. It looks like they teleported straight to North Korea. I laugh at the Ukrainian statements that are not consistent with reality.
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - An upcoming trip to Kyiv by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia has been canceled but will be rescheduled, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Tuesday. The planned meetings between Keith Kellogg, a highly decorated retired three-star general who has long been Trump’s top adviser on defense issues, and Ukrainian officials are “extremely important,” Sybiha told reporters in the Ukrainian capital.
The Ukrainians and the West are following, Churchillian Strategies. What people forget is that Churchill was an Idiot that got lucky. Churchill's strategy was stubbornness no plans just. Ask yourself what did Churchill actually do. He was the architect of The Gallipoli Campaign, which got him fired in World War One. He was always considered the Dunce of Class and pretty much belonged to all the political parties of his time. He was inconsistent, a racist, and never had a plan. Other than Stubbornness. Yes, Churchill was great at Speeches, but what did he actually do? Other than get rescued by the Americans, the Russians and the English Channel. For 80 years we have followed his 1930ies thinking and what did it get us? Failure after Failure.
Not to mention Colonel the experience of the Union Army in our Civil War. The Union/North constantly made the mistake of creating new regiments (regiments being the basic unit at that time, instead of brigades) to fill the ranks of the Federal armies, instead of adding replacements to existing regiments, seriously hampered the effectiveness of the Union Army. Also, this was often done for political reasons in the various states (I'm certain that you and Colonel MacGregor, as military historians, are familiar with the history of terrible Union commanders like General Butler), which I'm sure is probably true in Ukraine today. Corrupt politics plays its role. Just a crappy way to maintain and build an effective Army.
@@JooDawg true. They had on paper massive advantages and yet they were almost defeated on several occasions. It took forever for Lincoln to find General Ulysses S. Grant.
Why would Ukraine choose to create new brigades given the obvious downside? Is it possible those organizing new brigades have been aware of the amount of attrition taken by existing brigades? Basically a communication issue? I’m just trying to understand why they would choose to do it this way…
The difference between Hitler and Zelenski. At the end Hitler was isolated in a bunker playing war games with imaginairy armies completly delusional. Zelenski is not in a bunker.
Colonel Davis, While Ukrainian military collapse is a possibility, if it does happen, that does not mean the war is over. Ukraine could continue to resist through an insurgency. In fact, it was believed in February 2022 that Ukraine's military would last at most 10 weeks from the start of the all out Russian invasion. After the 10 week mark, Ukraine would switch to fighting an insurgency with the western nations supporting it. So the idea that Ukraine needs to or would surrender before a military collapse is not necessarily accurate. The conflict could continue after Ukrainian military collapse with Russia continuing to pay huge cost for occupation and keeping such a large military force in the field.
The Ukrainians need to negotiate a peace deal while they still can. To quote that great military expert Jesus "Or again, what king marching to war against another king would not first sit down and consider whether with ten thousand men he could stand up to the other who was advancing against him with twenty thousand? If not, then while the other king was still a long way off, he would send envoys to sue for peace." (Luke 14:31)
President Macron recently said "someone forgot to say thank you" for the French troops in African countries. It seems to me to highlight the delusion and 'gamification' of the military actions in EU and especially in EU power circles (attack this, offensive that - regardless of the human cost and suffering). Would love to hear your take on this, @DanielDavisDeepDive.

Can some military expert explain why it has taken Russia so long to rid Kursk of the Ukrainians?? I can’t imagine it taking this long for US Forces to eradicate any incursion into US soil along any part of their border - why are Ukraine still in what is actual Mother Russia and holds so much historical importance to the Russians?
From the Russian point of view all that war is waged on the Russian territory! Kursk is not special, it is not any better than much larger territories in Donetsk, Lughansk or Kherson!
Jake from State Farm is one of the biggest grifters running . He parlayed sitting in a silo eating Doritos into a cheerleading platform for a war that never needed to happen in the first place !
Dan, so if it takes 2 yrs to turn raw recruits into a solid combat ready Brigade; Can they develop the Officer Cadre that quickly? Ive heard it was more like 10yrs to build 2Lt. through the Lt.Col to be frontline ready❤🇺🇸
They make new brigades because they already tried to restore old brigades at the start of this war and what they got is new recruits learn about level of the loses in those brigades from survivors and get demoralized. Thats why they make totally new brigades and only commanders that stay behind and never participate in combat are experienced, but they are forced to keep any information about previous operations secret.
Now, if we just allowed ourselves to ponder a possibility that, after the World War II, the ‘powers that be’ intentionally drew up new borders with great laxity ignoring the pre-war national borders of various countries in Eastern Europe to secure future conflicts, prolonged Kursk incursion makes perfect sense. It’s a great market for weapons and the populations of brotherly powerful European nations are eliminating each other from life and their wealthy lands. What if the one common enemy is playing the leaders of both sides? What if neither Russian nor Ukrainian leaders have their nations’ best interests at heart? One cannot just start a war, it has to be well orchestrated so no one would suspect a foul play.
Two scientists of biology in an apartment hit by a Russian missile. Hmmmm. They were students of biological warfare by any chance. Just a rhetorical question.
As an American, my faith in the military has dwindled. Watching some generals on TV and listening to their statements makes me wonder how much money they are willing to sell us to the enemy. It’s difficult to determine how many honest generals are left in the army.
The Soviet Union strategy during WWII was to create lots and lots of low quality units. At the end of the war they straight up stopped replacement completely grinding combat units down to the nub in time for victory. The Idea there is that you always have a fresh reserve available. Maybe that's what Ukraine is going for trying to rely on Western industrial base to gain a manpower advantage through higher mobilization rate.

One of Russias objectives is demilitarisation ... so they want to engage in attrition. They don't want mass surrender other they'll be back in x years.
They don't want to cut it off, not yet. The Russians are playing the long game, they know that some of the NATO nations might want to get together and take a shot at them after the Ukraine goes down, so they're leaving the supply lines open so they can destroy as much NATO equipment as possible ahead of time. Costs them more now, but it means that NATO will be effectively demilitarized by the end of the year. Same reason they haven't blown all the power lines from the EU to Ukraine, it makes energy more costly for the EU since they keep exporting electricity and this is killing industry in the EU. Which of course is good for Russia.
@@photon3999 Also, keep in mind even modern Artillery/Rockets aren't perfect, if Russia attacks near the Poland border and even a tiny bit of collateral damage or fragments land on Poland's soil, NATO and the rest of the evil doers keeping this needless slaughter going, will use such an event to encourage Poland to send troops too.

The conflict could continue after Ukrainian military collapse with Russia continuing to pay huge cost for occupation and keeping such a large military force in the field.

Dan, so if it takes 2 yrs to turn raw recruits into a solid combat ready Brigade; Can they develop the Officer Cadre that quickly? Ive heard it was more like 10yrs to build 2Lt. through the Lt.Col to be frontline ready❤🇺🇸
Imagine spending lives to lose territory?
1.800 soldiers is few dozens, according to western media.
They make new brigades because they already tried to restore old brigades at the start of this war and what they got is new recruits learn about level of the loses in those brigades from survivors and get demoralized. Thats why they make totally new brigades and only commanders that stay behind and never participate in combat are experienced, but they are forced to keep any information about previous operations secret.

Now, if we just allowed ourselves to ponder a possibility that, after the World War II, the ‘powers that be’ intentionally drew up new borders with great laxity ignoring the pre-war national borders of various countries in Eastern Europe to secure future conflicts, prolonged Kursk incursion makes perfect sense. It’s a great market for weapons and the populations of brotherly powerful European nations are eliminating each other from life and their wealthy lands. What if the one common enemy is playing the leaders of both sides? What if neither Russian nor Ukrainian leaders have their nations’ best interests at heart? One cannot just start a war, it has to be well orchestrated so no one would suspect a foul play.
Man power issue?! But zelensky said they have 980k troops haha
Two scientists of biology in an apartment hit by a Russian missile. Hmmmm. They were students of biological warfare by any chance. Just a rhetorical question.
As an American, my faith in the military has dwindled. Watching some generals on TV and listening to their statements makes me wonder how much money they are willing to sell us to the enemy. It’s difficult to determine how many honest generals are left in the army.
Where are the North Koreans??!! 😂😂😂
The Soviet Union strategy during WWII was to create lots and lots of low quality units. At the end of the war they straight up stopped replacement completely grinding combat units down to the nub in time for victory. The Idea there is that you always have a fresh reserve available. Maybe that's what Ukraine is going for trying to rely on Western industrial base to gain a manpower advantage through higher mobilization rate.
Green t-shirt guy lost all sense of reality.
Zelensky in dreamland 😂😂😂
