Why? If Russia is a paper tiger, is running out of missiles and fights with golf carts, no more need the Ukrainians are about to win haven't you seen this video?
True! Why does that question even exist? russians attack and kill with rockets that contain American and other non-russian components. But Ukraine can't defend itself. It's insane to hear them talk about a "free and strong democracy," while in reality, they just help terrorists.
Yep and more now everyone knows it and nato can push straight to Moscow with no problem and install a government that will be pro west and the state can be reformed
At the time this conflict began I was dating a polish woman (born and raised in poland) She thought russia would steamroll ukraine. I told her russia would choke on ukraine and that it would end putin's regime. She called me crazy. I told her Russia is not the soviet union , its the corpse of the soviet union. The soviet union had a GDP comparable to the united states, Russia has a GDP comparable to just new york state, let alone the entire united states. I told her this means they cant afford a world threatening military. Then I told her about the amount of recruits/conscipts russia loses every year due to murder/rape/and suicide during training , its hundreds. I told her that means the morale of their forces are in the toilet. 6 months into the conflict she said, holy shit I think you were right.
As an ex sailor, who befriended an usual professional Russian sailor, I too learnt that ruZZia was slowly rotting out its military with corruption, and that putin couldnt get it threough his head that ruZZia was not the USSR.

You have to bear in mind how badly maintained their conventional weapons are and they are easy to maintain. Russia's nuclear weapons may be many but they have also been poorly maintained and present as much of a danger to russia as their intended target.
I cant even imagine the state of there Nuclear silos, from the 50’s 60’s 70’s tbh I bet 90% is closed off and sealed shut, costs billions a year to maintain this stuff I bet there entire stock complete junk but for sure there still be a few hundred nice ones to cause some serious damage
Not a single incident was ever reported or witnessed during live testing of nuclear weapons in Russia. And there were fuck lot of those launches. I don't even know where are you coming from with this silly and dangerous cope about maintenance of nuclear weapon in Russia supposedly to be an issue. They have extreme regards when it comes to nukes. UK on the other hand already failed 2 Trident launch attempts in a row. I wonder what does that tells us about UK nuclear deterrence then. Does it mean UK is no longer capable of nuclear deterrence.
Fortunately for Ukraine, the west backed them when Russia invaded their lands in 2022. NATO have obviously put limits on Ukraine but, Ukraine have now decided they will force the issue - re Kursk incursion. NATO can now see how weak the Russian border is and need to provide additional support to force the issue. Ideally, Ukraine want Crimea .... lets see how it pans out over the next year.
The Russian people will be mad at the west again much like they were before though. The US keeps destroying their country and setting them back so another autocrat will rise. Because that's what happens with unhappy people filled with grievance. They go to the guy who promises revenge. It's sad really.
Russia let them push right in and try to set up shop. Let's ask Napoleon what he thinks.. Biggest mistake I ever made. But hey, at least I didn't set myself up to get nuked.

Most of the people questioning the Ukraine incursion in Kursk, lack tactical experience or knowledge. They are also the ones positing that the incursion is for negotiations. This might be a small part of the tactical goal. It isn’t the main tactical goal. Russia’s response shows they are unprepared for what Ukraine has planned. Based on the current fighting and known troop movements, a lot of people are going to be surprised in the next few months.
My understanding of the incursion is that Ukraine lacks the manpower to head south to wipe out defenders in Donbas. Neither do they have the manpower to continue East to threaten Moscow. This means that the only advantage to attaining the land at Kursk is political and for Morale. Is there something that I'm missing here? Please tell me, I would like to be educated.
@@alessandroalafriz8162 There is a third part, he needs to draw troops out of Ukraine to reconquer the territory making it much harder for him to keep up the offensive and maybe even vulnerable to a counteroffensive. Also I don't think Ukraine intends to stay there, preparing to retreat but making sure it will be a costly one for driving them out
@@alessandroalafriz8162 part of Ukraine’s overarching strategy is to cut off supply lines. Which it has started. This weakens Russia’s offensive abilities at a rate much greater than manpower. My understanding is that Ukraine has between 1-3 brigades in Russia right now. They have caused millions to flee deeper into Russia. These refugees will talk. This will be more damaging to Putin than the actual incursion. Again, this isn’t the main strategic goal. It is just part of the overall strategy.
When will the good people of Russia realize they need to get Putin out forever. Russia nor anyone needs to loose thier children.....for what?? A really shortsighted war for what? Come on Putin grow up a bit. Learn to live in the world without rasing arms against anyone. Shows a complete lack of respect.
Back in the 1980's I remember reading a book on the GRU and how it said that when inspections came they just put the best troops on show, and sent the others off to exercises. When they had to meet targets they got the best to do the work and then put other's names to the work and above all the drinking problem
13:35 'given how traditionally Germany has required written permission from Vladimir Putin for each German bullet fired by a Ukrainian soldier...' you didn't need to call out the poor Germans that much. my man is slowly building up confidence. give him a break! he is still suffering from the nightmare which happened 80yrs ago. 😵💫
i hit the subscribe button very carefully, but in this case i have... the quality of narration is awesome as is the script and best of all the video coincides with the script. your channel is interesting and informative without being over the top. have watched a few videos now and look forward to more. also your videos are an excellent reference to pass onto my friends to give them a clear and concise overview of whats currently the situation in russia / ukraine.
We really do need politicians on either side of the Atlantic to 'grow a pair', stop being cowed by a bully and let the Ukranians use the weapons we have donated where and how they desire. Kennedy stood up to the Russian bully (Cuban missile crisis) when they were the USSR and ten times stronger than Russia is today. Politicians need to listen and take the advice of their generals, commit to and actually help Ukraine to win this war. Peace comes through strength not by cowering in fear at every threat of a would be bully.
Imagine if Cuba invaded the USA and seized and occupied large portions of Florida, forcing the White House to divert thousands of regular army from foreign postings, and National Guard and initiate a mass draft to mobilise more troops in response.
0:58 The Troops being used to Assault into Kursk are just that. Assault Troops, which means they carry out mainly offensive actions, not defensive actions like sitting in a muddy trench waiting for the enemy to approach before they engage with Artillery, Drones and Small Arms. Assault Troops don’t wait for the enemy to come to them, they bring the fight to the enemy and destroy them if they can, if they can’t they go around and bypass them and either re-assault from the rear or keep pushing ahead and move on to the next group and area that needs to be taken care of and the unit behind them picks up what they left. By doing this it creates a lot of confusion and collapses the Russians lines, as nobody’s knows which direction to pull back too and that plays heavily into the Ukrainian Military’s strategy and favor. Now the Defenders in the Trenches in Donetsk are defensive troops, they’re usually mobilized or conscripts and are spread out more so the Russian artillery, drones and small arms aren’t quite as effective. They’re usually not trained to the level of Assault Troops, because all they really require to properly operate is know which direction to all shoot and be somewhat good at it. Do need tactical skills or any of that. Just know how and when to shoot and when to leave, the rest they learn as they go. So any criticism of Ukraine using Assault Troops to Assault Weak points they identify clearly doesn’t know shit about military tactics and never served a day in their lives. 🤷♂️
I think this was established years ago when Russia was expected to seize Kiev in around 3 days, but was successfully repelled by Ukrainian forces once they had time to rally.
I like how these channels always make it out like the news wasn't pointing out the massive amount of troops stacking before the Ukraine war.... The world knew. Not just "key allies".
In my opinion, Putin's biggest offense in this conflict is his all too apparent lack of apathy and respect of his own countrymen. Mercilessly sending them off to Ukraine to die in Soviet style Human Wave 'Tactics". I as an American, feel heavily and have condolences for these Russian Mothers, Fathers, and Wives, for the loss of their Sons and Husbands in Putin's dumbass war.
He didn't have to do this at all. All those people on both sides have suffered for his bravado but I call it stupidity. Putin is delusional and basically stupid and needs to be removed so this will end.
Ukrainian soldiers are trained by Nato, paid by Nato, equiped by Nato. Ukraine uses Nato intelligence and Nato tactics. All of that basically makes every Ukrainian soldier a Nato soldier. So in reality Russia is doing very well at the moment.
They’re stuck in a 1940s imperialistic mindset. The rest of the world is moving on from imperialism and they’re still stuck fighting last year’s war. NATO’s mere existence to this day is a testament to Russia’s history of westward aggression. NATO countries still have full independence and aren’t controlled by a singular ruler. The Russian people would be far better off being a NATO nation and not under the rule of the Oligarchy thats constantly antagonizing the west, but democracy would take hold and the Oligarchs would lose their influence. Thats the truth. Stop sympathizing. The west doesn’t want war despite our often hypocritical history of it. The world is attempting to move forward and we have countries like Russia, North Korea, Iran and in many ways China trying to thwart the peaceful advancement of society so their leaders can maintain their powers.
I think like the Tet offensive. The invasion of Kursk has been very successful in shaking the confidence Russians have with Putin. Given the Ukrainian losses is low and they even manage to capture some land its definitely a worthwhile effort
I think one of the best quotes I have heard in regards to the Russian military is… Russia is never as strong as it appears, but never as weak as you think.
And so Russia went from second strongest army in the world, to second strongest in Russia. Gotta pity the strongmen who tied their fate to him, like Belarus and Hungary's leaders.
Russia will not last considering their military are mostly conscript hired with less training experience in actual combat to the well trained and seasoned military Ukraine forces.
Mr. Putin, forgetting about continuous the war. Forgetting to make history for you. Going to relax use your money to have fun. You will not get what you want.
So far Russia has gone from having "the 2nd most powerful military in the world" to "the 2nd most powerful military in Ukraine", and now "the 2nd most powerful military in Russia".
That is the issue with all the memes, reputation and jokes we make about nations. Because of WW2, Russia got the reputation of being some war master, while the reality was always here: If you look at the past centuries, they have lost ALL their wars against european majors, except once against France, when the rest of the world was also fighting Napoleon, and once against Germany, when once more they were backed by the rest of the world. Appart from that, they got owned by everyone and their grandmothers.

Thank you.
Putin and trump, two paper tigers.
13:35 'given how traditionally Germany has required written permission from Vladimir Putin for each German bullet fired by a Ukrainian soldier...' you didn't need to call out the poor Germans that much. my man is slowly building up confidence. give him a break! he is still suffering from the nightmare which happened 80yrs ago. 😵💫
i hit the subscribe button very carefully, but in this case i have...
the quality of narration is awesome as is the script and
best of all the video coincides with the script. your channel
is interesting and informative without being over the top.
have watched a few videos now and look forward to more.
also your videos are an excellent reference to pass onto my
friends to give them a clear and concise overview of whats
currently the situation in russia / ukraine.
Kursk invasion was an absolutely genius move by Ukraine and caught Putin with his pants around his ankles😂
I wonder if the Chechen's will raise up now...
We really do need politicians on either side of the Atlantic to 'grow a pair', stop being cowed by a bully and let the Ukranians use the weapons we have donated where and how they desire. Kennedy stood up to the Russian bully (Cuban missile crisis) when they were the USSR and ten times stronger than Russia is today. Politicians need to listen and take the advice of their generals, commit to and actually help Ukraine to win this war. Peace comes through strength not by cowering in fear at every threat of a would be bully.
Zelensky might be former comedian and actor, but at least he's competent leader, even better than Putin for exposing Russia's weakness
At the least, Russia is a cardboard tiger.
Imagine if Cuba invaded the USA and seized and occupied large portions of Florida, forcing the White House to divert thousands of regular army from foreign postings, and National Guard and initiate a mass draft to mobilise more troops in response.
??? I'm physically losing IQ points reading this.

A hypothetical thing which is comparable to something else in significant respects.
There's your IQ back
Nah Fam, I live in Brazil and I see the bs Putin is .
Make a next video about Georgia pls
ok seriously besides Tucker Carlson and Douglas Macgregor who else still thinks russia is a meaningful military power?
Whatever it takes must be done to assure Ukraine’s success to defend its territorial integrity.
Keep the great work
0:58 The Troops being used to Assault into Kursk are just that. Assault Troops, which means they carry out mainly offensive actions, not defensive actions like sitting in a muddy trench waiting for the enemy to approach before they engage with Artillery, Drones and Small Arms. Assault Troops don’t wait for the enemy to come to them, they bring the fight to the enemy and destroy them if they can, if they can’t they go around and bypass them and either re-assault from the rear or keep pushing ahead and move on to the next group and area that needs to be taken care of and the unit behind them picks up what they left. By doing this it creates a lot of confusion and collapses the Russians lines, as nobody’s knows which direction to pull back too and that plays heavily into the Ukrainian Military’s strategy and favor. Now the Defenders in the Trenches in Donetsk are defensive troops, they’re usually mobilized or conscripts and are spread out more so the Russian artillery, drones and small arms aren’t quite as effective. They’re usually not trained to the level of Assault Troops, because all they really require to properly operate is know which direction to all shoot and be somewhat good at it. Do need tactical skills or any of that. Just know how and when to shoot and when to leave, the rest they learn as they go. So any criticism of Ukraine using Assault Troops to Assault Weak points they identify clearly doesn’t know shit about military tactics and never served a day in their lives. 🤷♂️
I think this was established years ago when Russia was expected to seize Kiev in around 3 days, but was successfully repelled by Ukrainian forces once they had time to rally.
I like how these channels always make it out like the news wasn't pointing out the massive amount of troops stacking before the Ukraine war.... The world knew. Not just "key allies".
The "Panther"-Symbol on the Kursk offensive is just *chefs' kiss*
in lahey's voice: the shitwinds are coming
Randy.... I AM the liquor.
If this carries on i’ll have to step in.
Now that it has been shown that Putin's red lines have been crossed over and over, NATO should see if those onion domes in Red Square would burn!
In my opinion, Putin's biggest offense in this conflict is his all too apparent lack of apathy and respect of his own countrymen. Mercilessly sending them off to Ukraine to die in Soviet style Human Wave 'Tactics". I as an American, feel heavily and have condolences for these Russian Mothers, Fathers, and Wives, for the loss of their Sons and Husbands in Putin's dumbass war.
He didn't have to do this at all. All those people on both sides have suffered for his bravado but I call it stupidity. Putin is delusional and basically stupid and needs to be removed so this will end.
I’m the first viewer of this video for once wow 😮
I honestly believe Olaf just didn't dare make an outcry
Ukrainian soldiers are trained by Nato, paid by Nato, equiped by Nato. Ukraine uses Nato intelligence and Nato tactics. All of that basically makes every Ukrainian soldier a Nato soldier. So in reality Russia is doing very well at the moment.
China thinking lets get the old land back
Gloria para a Ukrania
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 from 🇦🇺
They’re stuck in a 1940s imperialistic mindset. The rest of the world is moving on from imperialism and they’re still stuck fighting last year’s war. NATO’s mere existence to this day is a testament to Russia’s history of westward aggression. NATO countries still have full independence and aren’t controlled by a singular ruler. The Russian people would be far better off being a NATO nation and not under the rule of the Oligarchy thats constantly antagonizing the west, but democracy would take hold and the Oligarchs would lose their influence. Thats the truth. Stop sympathizing. The west doesn’t want war despite our often hypocritical history of it. The world is attempting to move forward and we have countries like Russia, North Korea, Iran and in many ways China trying to thwart the peaceful advancement of society so their leaders can maintain their powers.
Is there any act of resistance from Ukrainian population in occupied territories ?
I think like the Tet offensive. The invasion of Kursk has been very successful in shaking the confidence Russians have with Putin. Given the Ukrainian losses is low and they even manage to capture some land its definitely a worthwhile effort
I think one of the best quotes I have heard in regards to the Russian military is… Russia is never as strong as it appears, but never as weak as you think.
I feel shame for Putin
Russia gdp ran by the govt is smaller than new york and california plus the money does not flow into the economy its sucked up by a few
Putin is no Zhukov, and I thank God for it.
His walls were too large to man.
“A new reality, where Vladimir Putin is weak and his threats are empty”
And so Russia went from second strongest army in the world, to second strongest in Russia. Gotta pity the strongmen who tied their fate to him, like Belarus and Hungary's leaders.
Russia will not last considering their military are mostly conscript hired with less training experience in actual combat to the well trained and seasoned military Ukraine forces.
....... Wow 😮 😳!!!!!¡!!..........
When's the last time you bought a russian car?
At the point when Putin orders reinforcements from Kaliningrad to be rushed into battle, Russian hopes of winning will pretty much be futile...
Mr. Putin, forgetting about continuous the war. Forgetting to make history for you. Going to relax use your money to have fun. You will not get what you want.
Let's just hope we don't cross a real line in Putin's mind. We won't like the results.
Sounds like something Hitler would say
China is the same.
Okay, I admit it’s over!
I said in my other comments that, Putin's russian' armed forces is not capable now to attack or defend itself from any Nato attack
So far Russia has gone from having "the 2nd most powerful military in the world" to "the 2nd most powerful military in Ukraine", and now "the 2nd most powerful military in Russia".
If ukraine was doing this by themselves theyd get flatlined in a day. They have lots of big brothers helping the little guy
Tsung Tzu already said: When you are weak, attack!
That is the issue with all the memes, reputation and jokes we make about nations.
Because of WW2, Russia got the reputation of being some war master, while the reality was always here:
If you look at the past centuries, they have lost ALL their wars against european majors, except once against France, when the rest of the world was also fighting Napoleon, and once against Germany, when once more they were backed by the rest of the world.
Appart from that, they got owned by everyone and their grandmothers.
