This video was a painful reminder; “All that is needed for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing”
……..which is happening again.
Many Ukrianians may die in this proxy war to bleed Putin's Russia.
But it's a sacrifice NATO is willing to make.
@@damianketcham no? Did you watch the video? Ukrainians are fighting the good fight and winning,the un is sending arms and sanctioning the shit russia.
If people where ignoring the situation then why are these things happening?
Z
But let me also remind you that nuclear weapons means all that needs for the world to be destroyed, is for good men to get involved.
As someone who deployed as Signal Support NCO the communication failure of Russia has just boggled my mind.
Bro right? My dad was Australian Army Signals. I worked for Australia’s biggest telecom company. And we are just sitting here confused.

I live here in Ukraine. I work during the day and help out in my city’s humanitarian center at night. The atrocities that are happening infuriated me to such a point where I almost volunteered to go fight, and I’m conflicted as a Christian. But then I calmed down remembered that I’ll be leaving behind my pregnant wife with my firstborn child, and I’ll probably be more of a nuisance than actually helping. It just pains me knowing that this is all happening while I’m writing this comment. God is with us!
Helping the victims is equally as important as fighting the invaders. Stay strong.
Good luck my friend and glory to Ukraine
Take care igor
Take care I wish you and your family the best
mate just by helping the victims you are already a hero in my eyes
FYI. The two Ukrainian Hinds that did a deep strike mission into Russia wanted to fly higher but were weighed down by the sheer weight of their massive metal balls.
Tbf, those are Hinds, cold war-era equivalent of Apache. so those engines were weaker to hold their ERA balls to strike the shadow empire with their own back-then state-of-the-art attack helicopter.
Well, original plan was to drop them instead of bombs, they volunteered. But the commanding officer didn't want to lose such people, so they launched rockets.
Please know this Animarchy, from a fellow Anime Military Historian...
The Russo-Ukraine War of 2022 is currently an ongoing, world changing event, do not be ashamed of covering it consistently. It is not milking it, it's covering a very important event.
Keep up the good work. Live Long and Prosper!
This comment is true ^
There is no "War of 2022". It started in 2014. Can U guess by whoS?
@@kinologan5074 No, it is not. (So much for being a historian.)
@@netzoned yeah by Russia... conflict started in 14 but this is a war now.... only things Ukraine did was exist and shut off the water to Crimea . boohoo
@@MrThhg What confilct? You mean the "Special military operation to get rif of Ukrainian nazis"? Where they do not attack any civilian targets?
Something that's just as damning and truly paints this war as black & white is an article that was recently written by RIA Novosti, one of Russia's largest state-run news agencies. They're also the same agency that posted then redacted a pre-emptive puff piece that celebrated Ukraine's quick downfall and the birth of Russia's "New World Order." The new article in question was titled *"What Russia Should Do with Ukraine"* and it's an absolutely horrific read that more or less calls for genocide of Ukraine. I highly recommend reading it to know what 20th Century evil looks like in the 21st, but if you want the highlights, the article pretty much says:
- The idea that _"the Ukrainian government are Nazi's but the people are good"_ is now proven inherently false by Russian "liberators" meeting stiff populace resistence which confirms that all Ukrainians are in fact a new, more dangerous breed of Nazi's far worse than Hitler's Third Reich. As such, any Ukrainian who picks up a gun, provides non-combat support, even passively endorses their efforts is unquestionably a Nazi thus deserves to be liquidated as such.
- De-Nazification isn't enough, Ukraine must thoroughly be _"De-Europeanized."_ Mass re-education and censorship must be inflicted upon the populace for a minimum of a generation (25 Years) to be remotely effective.
- Ukraine must not be allowed to rebuild at all, especially not in comparison to the Marshall Plan (or even Comecon). No, the civilians simply must fester in their post-war squalor in order to absorb the horrors of war and atone for their guilt, acts committed against Russia and Russian speaking peoples, in order to build sole dependency towards the Kremlin.
- The concept of Ukrainian statehood is a farce created by the west after the fall of the Soviet Union and because the likes of Bandera existed, it can be concluded that the people will always crave and gravitate towards Nazism if not properly controlled. Thus Ukraine as Ukraine must not be allowed to exist in any form and the newly founded People's Republics that are formed from its ashes must solely by built as military police-states that are managed and supplied by the proper Russian authorities.
What the Hell did I just read?
A truly imperial project.
@@joeclaridy A recap of an article from Russian state-owned media outlet RIA.
How did you find this?
Straight from Stalin's playbook.
Ironic that, no matter which way this war goes, Ukraine has effectively been born. Russia has, with its sloppy and clumsy invasion, created a state that they shrilly proclaim has no right to exist. Ukraine is being forged in war, in opposition to invaders, not liberators. Any goodwill Russia pretends still exists is gone, having gone up in smoke with the Russo-phones' homes and businesses.
one of the Polish retired officers put it very precisely: "Russian army is immoral by definition". That is, russians shouldn't be ORDERED to commit war crimes, their military command simply takes these crimes for granted and let them happen. The morality rules that we follow just don't work in the russian society. Moscow done this already, check the Red Terror, Holodomor, Executed Renaissance, etc., and that's just a few, just during the last century, just in Ukraine... Wherever russians go, the crimes (often based on ethnicity) always follow.
The Red Army got the nickname of "The Red Plague" in Poland for a reason
A polish whitewashing the galician descendant Ukrainian Insurgent Army, now that's immoral by definition.
Soooooooo... when are we taking Ukraine to task for their 8 years of past, and still ongoing crimes against their self proclaimed "own people" in Lugansk, Donbass, and Crimea? 14,000 dead murdered by Kiev demand recompense.
Ukraine uses hospitals and civilian facilities, abusing the "protecting structure" clause of the Geneva Convention. Ukraine uses ambulances to transport armed fighters, breaking the rule about "protected vehicles". Ukraine uses human shields, they even have training diagrams showing how to do it. Ukraine rains shells and missiles down upon the civilian cities of Donetsk and Lugansk. Ukraine tried to murder 3,000,000 Crimeans by cutting off their water supply. Ukraine sends armed death squads to kill dissidents and minorities.
If you aren't just as outraged about Ukraine's systematic war crimes as Russia's incidental ones, shut up and stop pretending to care.
I lived in Russia for a decade. These people are ripe for anthropological research, almost want to say ethological. By and large Russians live in overwhelming poverty, worse than Africa in many, many places. Their old rummage through trash for food every other day, you can see that plenty on UA-cam with younger people filming them and making fun of them. It's like a society from another century somehow got access to modern tech. They resent living like they do very much, and yet they don't hate the ones that put them in such conditions, on that front they're somehow content. They hate everyone who lives better than them, they're convinced as if it's everyone around them that stole decent living from them. They're elated when those better off are getting murdered, raped and tortured - somehow in their mind, they "deserved it".
Even their most educated and liberal are like that. To a lesser extent than the rest, but still much, much more than your average western neo-nazi.
You do realize that Zalinski's Nazis have been killing russian/Ukrainians for 8 years. Before Russia invaded Ukrainian troops were massing to attack Ukrainian' s who don't like Nazis.

The idea of compromised or unencrypted communications for command and control or CAS or firesupport or really ANY tactically significant role is.... Honestly that is the stuff of nightmares for ground pounders.
As a US ARMY Forward observer, comms are key. Without them I cannot call the guns. If they are not encrypted, the enemy knows where I may be. In the 80's we had the DMD (Digital Message Device) Encryption over FM. Type in a fire mission, boom arty hits the enemy. The Ukraine's are even using civilian drones to drop munitions on tanks.
@@mike13foxtrot79 and now 80 millimeter mortars too apparently
A side issue (perhaps). Ukraine was a divided nation pre-2014. The east was much more pro-Russian than the west.
I have often seen it claimed that those in the Donbas and elsewhere who were previously pro-Russian have had their eyes opened by the brutality of the Russian attack, and that this will strengthen the Ukrainian nation. Has anyone a sense as to the extent that pro-Russianism is on the wane inside Ukraine? This seems a vital factor for the future.
A contextual hypothetical. A lot of Americans, myself included, have Irish ancestry and while I don't view myself as Irish, I do have respect of where my family lineage originated from. If all of a sudden, in said impossible scenario, Irish forces started bombing my home and killing my family & friends, despite my heritage being known, I'd be a lot less inclined in wanting to have anything to do with them anymore. I figure that scenario is exactly playing out in real time in East Ukraine.
That's absolutely been the case. Regardless of the language they speak, I've never seen Ukrainians hate Russians more. And more reasons for that are being provided by the Russians every day.
"We're not doing it,
and even if we are, you can't prove it,
and even if you can prove it, then it doesn't matter,
and even if it matters, we'll just fight you if your country wants to do anything about it." -the Russian logical train when caught doing some crimes
Don't forget the whataboutisms. "We're not doing it. YOUR doing it. Let's talk about YOU."
Dont forget about the nukes. They like to hide behind them
True but there war doctrine makes it so hands on war crimes are bound to happen
upvote for you!!!!!!
@@Edax_Royeaux Russia's whataboutisms has been their go to since WWII. The Allies should have all listened to Patton.
I wish I could say that I was surprised by the Russian military's commission of war crimes, but I'm not. Horrified, yes. What I see is a military that for all intents and purposes is still operating on the same doctrine and mentality that existed in WW II, and the only thing really different about them is the weapons and equipment. Poor or non-existent leadership at the platoon and company level, a lack of training in the "rules of war," as well as just plain overall training.
Regarding giving the Ukrainians the F-16 or the F-15, the problem is not just pilot training (even a crash course is over a month), it's all the things that have to go with the planes. Training the mechanics, the spare parts, and so on. It's better to have them get the planes they already know how to fly and maintain (apparently Bulgaria is getting ready to transfer their planes to Ukraine), and ship them better air-to-air and air-to-ground munitions.

The world cannot allow human atrocities to continue like this. Putin is a bully and he should be stopped immediately.

@@hilldoggydogg635 Exactly. There are no russian soldiers murdering ukrainians its all ukrainians even the russians are ukrainians, the chechniens are ukrainians as well.

I love the internet
War isn’t Hell, because in Hell there are no innocent bystanders.
It's amazing how some of those old shows are ripe with truth
it's amazing to me, that even after all this time, Russia as a nation has has hardly changed at all.
Nearly an entire century of constantly fucking up while being a bad guy. Russia makes young adult book villains look competent in comparison.
Stalin murdered 25 million good russians that opposed him and left us with his scum to deal with. They are here today and the Ukrainians are dealing with them.
In the US army we don’t even do TRAINING in our local base training area without encryption it’s mind boggling that battalion level como is wide open like a hooker on Friday.
LOL right? No comm no bomb
I suspect that the issue the Russians had was that they didn't train with crypto in their communications. And as a result, they were unable to implement in actual combat.
Russia’s encryption fell apart when the lost connection to their base stations in Russia…
@@tamamalosi You keep expecting this to make sense. You forgot that in Mother Russia, sense makes you.
I remember the fall of the Iron Curtain and the breakup of the USSR, I was hopeful of the the future. I was a solider and I feel for other soldiers regardless of which uniform they wear, they do not make policy, they follow orders but with the actions of the Soviet Army from WWII thru to the "Modern Russian" Army today, it is an organization that needs to be disbanded, there is no saving it.
Solider then who
As someone on the political right I'm absolutely appalled by the conduct of the Russian armed forces in Ukraine. Attacks targeting civilians have been thoroughly disproven as an effective means of breaking the will of an enemy to resist. If anything it hardened their resolve. People surveyed in Britain, Germany, and Japan who were subjected to strategic bombing campaigns targeting cities all reported that bombings were viewed similarly to the weather. A strong desire for revenge was more prevalent than any notion of giving up. There is no valid argument for targeting civilians, this is ethnic cleansing and raw conquest. Russian soldiers will likely find it difficult to expect any mercy from the Ukrainians, and I would not blame the Ukrainians if they gave none. I believe that the MIGs and missiles should be given without fanfare. F-16s would be a bridge to far in my opinion. Russia has lost any chance of reconciling with the West for this action, a new iron curtain descends.
Why would F-16s be a bridge too far? The F-16 entered service over 40 years ago. My understanding is that while still serviceable, the F-16 is nowhere near cutting edge, and while most of it's specs are classified, aren't exactly a mystery to those with enough motivation. I could be wrong, and am open to correction.
The bigger issue would be the training time. Soviet aircraft that the Ukrainian pilots are more familiar with would obviously be more helpful. I'm just curious as to what the argument would be for F-16's being a bridge too far.
@Trelmayas21 because they would need training by NATO pilots and they are recognizably American Jets. This could lead to the Russian government believing that American pilots are actually flying and striking the Russian army and escalating the war. The biggest issue is the training that would have to take place, the Ukrainian pilots would not be effective in time to make a difference in this conflict. The polish migs can be repainted, and have somewhat plausible deniability. Not to mention the fact that they are systems that the Ukrainians are familiar with.
I don't think the west was trying to reconcile with Russia. They were trying to choke it.

They might be able to get away with non soviet missiles though. Small modification to aircraft pylons, a briefing to the pilots about the capabilities of the new AA missiles, and sorted.
As a historian I am surprised at your surprise regarding Russian war crimes. The Russians have a reputation to live up to, and they are living up to it nicely. Why would you think that they had gained any humanity in wartime since the Winter War 1939? Their entire performance during WWII, including their treatment of Poland, not to mention their treatment of Americans and their own people are a litany of barbarity. There was a reason why surrendering German troops fought hard to surrender to the western allies rather than to the Russians. But the barbarity continued with the partitioning of East Germany, the managing of the Hungarian revolt, and the Russian taking of eastern bloc nations. When have the Russians EVER displayed any humanity?
lemme see.

This Ukrain war is very similar to the winter war, therefore as a fin i symphatise with the ukrainians a lot.
But an interesting thing is, the ruskies are making the exact same mistakes in this war. they have learnt nothing.
Also Finland will probably join NATO soon. 100 of the parliament are for it and 12 against. (out of 200)
@@dagnom9071 in numerous videos i have previously referred to this as the winter war 2.0. in that war the finns were some badass dudes.

WHAT WAR CRIMES? All I see is Kiev killing its own citizens, Bucha, Kramatorsk and Mariupol. How can you support such a brutal violent regime?
This is why historians and history in general is so importan, those who forget their past, are doomed to repeat it.... Slava Ukraine.....
The only thing we learn from history is, that no one learns from history.

No...I think Putin learned EXACTLY what to do from the past....do the same as hitler
You don't even know what's going on in the present never mind the past You're a propagated mushroom🍄
@@pipopoikapelaa5468 especially daft Sergio.
Their use of GLONASS sorta explains why you saw missiles slamming into apartment buildings miles downrange of military targets. Of course, later they would resort to targeting civilians in general but early on, it was simply due to over reliance on inferior tech.
I remember the satellite pics from the day after the first full night of bombing and artillery, there were cases where there were tight clusters of impacts (which indicates guided munitions) that were off by 50m or more (which indicates some kind of widespread guidance problem). probably GLONASS unreliability
@@disregardthat Also GLONASS has been more optimized for Arctic Circle navigation than anything else in recently years, while much of Ukraine is well North of the equator, they're not near the Arctic circle.
I didn't plan to, but i ended up watching that entire Zelensky brodcast at the end of the video. Man does such big fucking damage with words it's beautiful, and everything he said was right.
Excellent, and powerful stuff - thank you. I am nearly 70, and grew up in a world still deeply marked by WW2, but I also grew up in a world where nothing like that could ever happen again. I don't have the words to express my horror of what is now happening in Ukraine - part of me simply can't believe it, part of me can't take in the horror of it. On a purely personal level, it feels like my life has been a waste - all that stuff I believed for so many decades destroyed and invalidated by one insane man. Putin simply cannot be allowed to win this, he must be defeated - otherwise, where does this end. We didn't manage what we had thought we'd done after WW2 - to prevent war ever happening again in Europe - but this time, we MUST do that. The only positive outcome of this nightmare is that we ensure that we it can never happen again.
As for the 'R' word, which I can't even use here for fear that it will cause your channel problems - it is utterly absurd that evil people are free to use this to destroy, torture and oppress, and yet ordinary citizens of free countries can't even say it or write about it. Utter madness. As you point out with your Orwell quotes, with evil such as this, if you don't openly oppose it, you are effectively facilitating it. And UA-cam, with their ridiculous attitude to reporting of evil IS facilitating that evil and the people doing and commanding it.
Eastern Europe knew these warcrimes from WW2 fear and enragement by this... Is what made us Polish people especially active in aid to the Ukrainian people in the first place, seeing this happen again now only enforces it...
Say what you will about Azovs political ideology (even though apparently its only 20% of the total group) you have to at least respect the sheer dedication and heroism they have displayed, essentially fighting since day 1. Mariupol will become the Alamo of this war and Azov will likely be considered patriots and spur further such groups to be continued.
This is disgusting to read.
These guys are no heros. Their heros are the SS.
Incredible to find something like this on an anarchists channel... sad.
@Idontknowmynamelol 17 Azov was actively “deNazified” by the Ukrainian government. Less than 5% could still be classified as “Nazi”.
That is substantially less than any Russian units on average.
@Idontknowmynamelol 17 Most militaries are ultranationalist. Ultranationalist does not however necessarily mean racist - Ukraine has a Jewish Russian speaking President and several black members of parliament…
And then there is the gay battalion (with a unicorn unit patch) to balance things out.
Russia is FAR more fascist Nazi than the Ukrainian army. They tick ALL the boxes from top to bottom.

For analysts you guys missed something important and fundamental. The power of nationalism. If they were going to last a day they were going to win this war, because the will to fight does not wane from war, it grows. Ukraine would at worst turn out like Afghanistan, and at best like Vietnam, Finland, or the 13 colonies. When rifles were handed out to civilians, it should have been clear that this would not simply be a symmetric war clashing in a field, but an urban slogfest that unlike the battles for Berlin, Leningrad, and Stalingrad, had well equipped defenders with high morale food and the will to live. Berlin took nearly a million men to actually take, and to think Kyiv would take any less _in the first month of the conflict_ was absurd.
Either Ukraine would capitulate at the fall of Hostomel or they would not stop till the city was leveled. To a libertarian like me, the signs of this were clear back in late January. The primary way I was wrong was in presuming I couldn't have been smarter than generals and strategists - surely the Russians knew this and their invasion was a bluff. I constantly said 'they've taken too long, given too much time. The Ukrainians have hardened their critical points and they've had time to entrench, it'd be foolish to invade now' - and a week later the border checkpoint at Crimea was attacked. Ultimately, between the sustainability of civilian logistics and the unsustainability of the Russian logistics, the equation already necessitated a stratagem for Russia to win, even before lend lease was kicking off (btw the US senate just unanimously voted to renew the 1940 lend lease act with some amendments to make it suit Ukraine - the house should pass it within 2 weeks).
Ultimately, I'm wrong about a lot of things but I think I understand the nature of militias. The nature of armed nationalists... The only path to success for Russia now necessitates Genocide, which will pull the liberal democracies of the world into direct conflict with Russia.
I agree with you. But one distinction. My assumption was the competence of the Russian military. Since their operations in Syria. The extensive reforms of the Russian military undergone since 2008. And their extra budget allocation in the past decade. That they would at least be able to put their combat power in the field and execute their operations.
They have shown themselves to be under funded. Under equipped. Under trained. Their logistics non existent. Their comms a joke. The reason why professionals. Let alone historians like me got blind sided is we at least expected the Russians to do their job. But they failed at even the basics.
@@AnimarchyHistory Even if they did their job right they couldn't hope to occupy Ukraine, and any puppet would get EuroMaidan'd. Similar to how Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said that invading the United States would be impossible due to there being a rifle behind every blade of grass, any sufficiently nationalist populace with contempt could carry a molotov, take a sledge hammer to a railway, or otherwise stop this invasion.
Ultimately, I had a delusion that invasions of other countries wouldn't happen because I thought people had finally figured out the potency of the militia. I was wrong. We're a bit away from the universal recognition of Libertarian farmers as the last and most steadfast line of defense for a nation.
@@AnimarchyHistory Perun has a great breakdown of how the Russian military isn't as well-funded as they seem. In fact, their military, in many ways, has completely failed to have an acquisitions strategy that lines up with the goals of this conflict. Which makes them double stupid, because they chose this damned war.
Now that is good to know, lend lease is going to do a world of good
@@the_mad_fool Russia invested so much into their "wunderwaffe" programs that they forgot the basics. All of their vaunted superweapons, their hypersonic missiles, T-14 Armatas, Su-57s, all useless.

@@comradenikolai2773 the ukrainians probably have exacuted some POWs however that and what russia is doing are not even remotely comparable.

Only Nazis are in AZov
Here here! The big irony is that Russia has the most admitted Nazi's of any other country, and always rely on the Wagner group who are open Nazi's. Their attempt at propaganda are laughable and only seem to work on their own people.
Stay safe my friend! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
ну да, всех инакомыслящих объявлять кремлеботами и врагами так называемого цивилизованного мира это так по-украински. Нацистов в Украине нет, а лозунг нацистских коллаборантов выдал, молодцом
“Anyone not sharing my opinion is a putin bot🥴”
Russia was right to end the propaganda and genocide of russian speakers in Ukraine. You started the war, Russia is finishing it. Cope.
You think the degenerate West is your friend? They’ll stab you once they don’t need you.
Also, virtually all the so called massacres by Russian army was proven as a hoax, and was in fact the action of Ukrainians. Also, Russians arent bolsheviks anymore, the West is.
As Much you can be angry on some "Russian bots"
I have notised most of Them are Victums to Incompitance by their own Goverments. Most are angry becuse their Cultures have been damaged by Activists and Played Useful idiots (like Green activists are payed by Russia, China, and People inside THE West Who hate their own Culture)
Political figure hammering Down on their Rights and disrepecting their Freedoms, and disrepecting their Constitutions.
And dont let me get started, with some corperations are also doing to nations Economics.
So you can see how Confiusion and anger can make People whant to Side with the One Who isint their own Athority. Becuse att First Glance Russia looks like a Nation that respect their Traditional legacey.
And admit it, alot of the Wests Politicans have embraced "whana be dictator" mentality, Canada PM is One example.
So in THE END, i think hating on Them is not right Way, but can make it worse. So IF you meet One, remember, what is hes Story?
To be Honest, i've seen Bothside DO really Uncivilized Humiliation on onanother, and thats not right. It only makes a missguided opinion more Solidified. So just talk and show Them that you are willing to show Them Redemption.
I hade a really mixed opinion about this Whole situation, but also made alot of Errors. So i decided My opinion is," this Whole War is an War of Intrests, and Innocent suffers"
comment by a ww2 survivor ! excellent strategical and tactical explanations - best map explantion with historical back up ! Thank you
You mind if I use this video as a source for a english paper?
Absolutely, go for it
Go for it!
@@AnimarchyHistory thats pretty baller, be cited in a academic paper.
You'd be using a more reliable source then any news network
I'm really hoping Russia will pay for their crimes in the war. Although no punishment will equal the atrocities we have seen
If true yes. But how do you know what is true? Did you see both sides or have you only heard from western media?
@@teru797 Read the history about atrocities of russian commies or any other's for that matter and add a full grown fascism, and may be you'll notice a full blown unprovoked war... at least.
@@serbrat yeah I know they have a history of it. it's not taught much in US about how USSR also invade Poland after Germany but the issue is it's very hard to get the other perspective. if two of your nighbors got into a fight, you would talk to both if you wanted the full picture yes?
@@teru797 The russian perspective is right here in the comments

They won't, but we can all enjoy seeing Russia become second North Korea.
I love the “die has been cast” quote, can’t remember where it came from first but I know Ceasar quoted it when he was crossing the rubicon
Ceasar quoted it from a Greek play if I remember right.
Caesar was said to have borrowed the phrase from Menander, the famous Greek writer of comedy.
I know some russian bot will probably respond to this message but I don't care. Thank you for telling the truth. Thank you for understanding and knowing what is at stake here. Thank you for these commentaries, they are exactly what I was looking for in this dark time. I look forward to more commentaries by you about this conflict and otherwise
I just tell them jokes that I know of. Such as the Russian Army. 🤣😂🤣😂
Lot od that are serbs if you track IP
Most of them are contained to the pinned comment. Worked well to keep them in one place so it's easy to avoid.
The russian are making the same mistake in marioupol as the Germany did with Stalingrad shelling a city to ground and try to capture it is the worst because you are force to have house house combat and it create great ambush place
Actually they avoided a Stalingrad by deliberately not attempting to take Kiev. Marioupol is almost finished
@@Raikenbolai Yeah but they still need some cities in the east.
@@kieferkarpfen6897sure..... but those places are not nearly the size of kiev
@@Raikenbolai They are 2x the size of mariupol and they have been reenforced for 1 month.

That's some dark humor right there
Underrated comment. Thank you for the hearty laugh.
Good on you for spending the first part of the video to correct your errors in previous videos. While I do want to see more WWII history content, I understand that this conflict has to be covered yet again since it has changed our world. Keep doing what you are doing.
Well, definitely gonna be a Sabaton song for the Ghost of Kyiv now haha!
Sabaton can probably do an entire album on this war.

You are left and i am right leaning. We may try to solve political problems in different ways. But seeing which side is in the wrong in this war when presented all the avaliable information is a conclusion that is universal.
this has gone from a war by a hostile state with incompetent and rowdy soldiers to a mafia empire letting loose a horde of barbarian bandits on a raid.
Hello from Kiyv, we do appreciate your work my brother, thank you ❤️, come and visit us once war is over, its nice out here today, cause no bombs or rockets fired at the moment
That tone of voice at the intro, Animarchy needs headpats and a hug (gives you some headpats and a light hug....no homo)
My favorite part of these videos is when you focus on smaller scale movements and on ongoing minor yet vital movements near those strategic targets that Russia is trying to seize.
I'm sure someone has already said this, but I can't help but compare the invasion of Crimea to the Nazi invasion of Poland, when France and Britain didn't do anything until it was too late. As for the attacks on Ukrainian civilians, it reminds me of a way about what the Japanese did to the Chinese people in the Japanese-Chinese war at the beginning of WWII.
Lastly, Slava Ukraine.
Yea only that Poland didnt had as many nazis fighting xD
@@derstoffausdemderjoghurtis But germany had just as many nazis fighting for them as Russia now.
I wish both Azov and Wagner a merry mutual destruction. But good bless Ukraine in pushing back and defeating the true modern Nazis to emerge, the geriatric mangy bear, Russia. As a Patriot and lover of freedom and democracy as well as the preservation of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness I sympathize with Ukraine as they beat back the savage orc hordes who r*** and m***** the very people they sought to “Liberate”. SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦
@@derstoffausdemderjoghurtis Well yeah. Most of the Nazis were on Russian side.
@@derstoffausdemderjoghurtis Ya, those Russians are a bunch of nazis
Whoah!! As a Father of 4 daughters, I'm so impressed with will and determination.
It frightens that shit out of me that there's women out there in this predicament. Then incredibly proud (when doubtful) that I'm a good parent and Father. I hope she learns she still has the world at her feet and the will to still get what she wants. Goodluck Amber
The fact that these things were allowed to occur, much less be ordered is horrendous enough. The fact that they blindly follow and continue to commit atrocities such as these make me wish I had the ability to go there and fight myself against the Russian menace. Slava Ukraine. May Aries see you through to victory
Throughout your essay I can hear the tone of your voice. As it rises and falls with your anger and contempt. You sound like a young man. An educated man. You brought me to tears as you closed your examination of this horrific situation. I do believe that this will go down in history as the greatest war crime after Nazism. I also believe that this is why Putin has accused the innocence of Ukraine People as Nazis.. I have learned that many times when your aggressor says something it is exactly what they do not want to be exposed for. May God, whatever that is, bless you in your endeavors.
Up until 2020, Russia was the number 2 country in terms of military arms exports.
I wonder how much this exhibition of failure of those arms in combat is going to affect that industry.
Even better - due to sanctions many designs will have to be reworked to remove dependence on Western imports.
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD Now India is the sole manufacturer of T-90's. And they're probably not going to given extra parts to Russia anymore as well.
It's going to take a dip, but ammunitions should be stable.
Maybe shouldn't buy weapons from someone who doesn't know how to fight.
As someone who has been trying to keep up with the situation instead of focusing on the war crimes and actually what’s going on the American media on both sides have made this into a political issue and that in my opinion is a crime in its self
Unfortunately, war is political by nature. One does not exist without the other. At least 98% of sane people in the world know, at least, that there is clearly two sides to this war, and that Russia are the ones at fault.
The hell? War is fundementally about politics dude
Everyone here living in a NATO country and (usually) freely elected his representative should bother their offices with calls, mails and on social media to petition their goverment to make haste on the war effort. Especially if the government is lacking in initiative in your country.
You can do this essentially for free. Show them what their electorate thinks, that we have an opinion.
Poland essentially wanted to give away the migs yet got called back out of concerns. Everyone knows being over-considerate, passive and appeasing is only encouraging bad behaviour from men like Putin. In short, appeasement policy makes you more unsafe.
I suggest we get Sweden to invade Russia. That'd be a hoot.
Living in the biggest NATO country. Our representative was not freely elected.
What about turkey? Their representative was in the office more than putin is why no one called him dictator?
@@mohammedriadh4990 Yes we do it a lot
Flying at Machjesus while lighting your bbq as they fly pass. Good stuff Animarchy. Love the updates and content. keep up the good work!
We may never know the true number of these “assaults.” As the old saying goes, “dead women tell no tales.”
OHCHR has interesting reports about ukraine defense forces raping and torturing people in the eastern ukraine.
Apart from the war crimes, I hope Russia never learns from its mistakes and I hope China doesn’t learn anything. I hope they continue with throw more stuff at it
Why
@@jackwest7197 So they lose. Badly.
@@rclipse1522 but then they will keep killing people, it's not like the russian soldiers deserve to die, no one does
@@jackwest7197 Of course they don't deserve to die, but sadly, there's no other way for this to end well for Ukraine.
When this is all over I want idris Elba to play volodymyr zelensky in the ghost of Kyiv movie.
Holy shit russia sounds like a God dam far cry villain right now
Honestly if ubisoft makes the next game about this they can be very accurate and still make a decent story
Far cry 7, Mother Land of Monsters
I'm studying ahead for my hopeful entry into the Royal Tank Regiment, and this war has really proven the "do's and don'ts" of tank warfare. Guess the generals never learnt after Afghanistan and Chechnya.
I'm an American that only speaks English. At this point, I can understand President Zelensky without subtitles better than I can Dementia Joe with them. That guy is a leader. I pray the Ukrainians can hold out, and win this fight for their own land. This is old-school Soviet Russian mentality, and the US should have been weary of it after WWI, and never should have allied with Stalin's forces in WWII.
As a russian who fought in 2014 it truly saddens me to see that the propaganda they spread about their enemies that I saw first have has not changed. It's spread to make themselves feel justified. All I can say is I'm glad to be out. Slava Ukraini.
It makes me shameful of my own country
It's hilarious to revisit this video and read some of the Russian trolls whose wild lies are even more unbelievable now!
3 days in: "Ukraine will be ours any day now!"
One month in: "Ukraine will be ours any day now!"
Half a year in: "Ukraine will be ours any day now!"
A full year in: "Ukraine will be ours any day now!"
After two years: "Ukraine will be ours any day now!"
Russia retreats and admits defeat: "Well akshually this is good for us!"
I find myself on the political right of most issues these days, but I'm with you on this. Imperialism has no place in our level of society. It's part of a bygone age, and we'd well be rid of it. I don't think military conflicts for the sake of expanding one's borders or resources work anymore.
Which I consider to be a good thing.
I like your analysis. I'm a plain old person too. I was never involved or interested in politics,but my brother opened my eyes and got me interested in politics. This Ukraine situation is terribly horrendous. I wanted to know what is your opinion on closing the airspace.
Greed leads to failure and lack of preparation will lead results if you're looking for defeat
I feel like Russians pulled "War Crimes Squared™" irl jeez...
and i thought they changed since 1917, 1920s 30s 40s... oh wait they didnt changed at all in 100 years
This is shocking surprising just how unorganized and no thoughts or try’s to do anything, and most Americans thought they were are greats opponents if something happened but it seems there only most threatening weapons are there nukes and that’s surprising and to be expected
Ngl I was really worried about what your analysis was going to be based on your pfp and the pinned comment.
The anarchist flag gave me some pause (you guys are often more intellectually honest than tankies), but the Soviet Ushanka made me think this would be some kind of genocide denial/ downplaying. Good video 👍
This poor people. Just think...if they treat their "Brothers" like this...How in the hell would they behave with us?..ie anyone from anywhere.
Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. So glad UA-cam popped this to me and big thanks to Animarchy. What a shit fest at the moment but evil always fails in the end. Ignore the trolls and the evil comments. Don't feed their want for argument. And a very big thanks to DHL for sponsoring the Ukrainian Army! (Look closely).
Rip Juice
You're amazing at this, I must say. With that said, you made some extremely good points that the mainstream media hasn't even made. The last ¾ of the video was spot on, and I would be honored to have your six in the trenches. I also agree that the Ukrainians will win this but at what cost to civilization life. I don't see Putin paying for His war crimes. I'm from America, and the current pathetically weak administration doesn't have the will to enforce any international laws.
This is exactly why I was one of your early Patrons... Keep it up...
Truth/justice is defined by the winner....ask Stalin/Mao.
The Z on the Russian tanks is the Russian swastika.
If might makes right, then the Russians losing so badly despite having every advantage in the book means that they're wrong.
Your videos are very informative and interesting.
Thank you Mr. Historian for documenting history in it’s making.
The truest way for the Russian people to get their country back is to give Putin "the Mussolini" retirement package. (For those who do not know, look up how Mussolini was removed from power)
Russia has this really weird tendency of losing to Nations that it has the numbers advantage on.
Easier said than done, Tiananmen Square is a good example of how hard it is to pull tyrants who dug in out.
@@jugofmilk41 true, but Russia is no stranger to revolutions
in all fairness, regarding russians firing on vehicles, is the fact that civilians are driving around conducting special military operations with molotovs ambushing the liberators. great video!
If we are able to get them the migs then we should subsequently work on getting them wild weasels
Waifu comes later. Ukraine comes first.
Enty can wait, her history is already written in stone, current conflicts need coverage to prevent This one to be referred as the “special operation” sh*t that the Russian are pushing
Nein.
I'd rather die defending my waifu then fighting for my country.

Guys like you are keeping me better informed about this ongoing crisis than just about any news source short of Reuters themselves. My national broadcasters would rather focus on political scandals or the feel-good humanitarian angle, no concrete info on the war and its movements/horrors themselves. Thank you to you and the people you've cited for all of your work - it's highly appreciated. May the men responsible for these war crimes either burn in Hell or stand trial in the Hague. Slava Ukraini! 🖖💛💙
I was a right wing individual, I oncrewasingly cant recognise a political party I would be affiliated with. Right wing beliefs seem to be collectivist, in ways I never saw them before.
Very well explained very interesting looking forward to your next breakdown and update, so so true every word i have heard you said, thanks
Weird thing is that when a normal country commits a war crime, other countries usually intervenes. But as soon as that country is really big and has big weapons, nobody wants to do anything about ot.
Don't think F-16s will happen. Due to the lack of infrastructure and logistics for them. I feel like Ukraine won't get F-16s until peacetime. When US can safely ship these planes they will. I feel like Abrams M1A1s - M1A2s and US sams are more likely.
Can you imagine the kind of destruction that Ukrainian forces could do with just a couple of extra m1a2's?
@@JO-cw5xe Or Leopard 2s, or Leclercs
The time needed to train on such systems will take up too much precious time needed to expell the Russians. Small arms is the best we can do right now. If we knew ahead of time that Russia would invade and took the initiative to train on SAM's and Abrams then yes this wouldn't be an issue. But we didn't....supposedly🤔
@@abpire Ukrainian forces with leopards, leclerc or Black panther tanks are a terrifying thought
@@joeclaridy Of course, but we can all dream about the strangest things when reality does not interfere.
Though I had firmly opposed a severe military escalation and conflict in the war, as I believed the Russians would have sense, I now come to the conclusion that a NATO military intervention is necessary in order to assist the nation of Ukraine.
Thank you for the video. Well done.
at the end it doesnt matter if ur on the right or left, seeing crimes like this should be condemned and are
Slava Ukraine
Hi, I'm a newbie but I'm finding this Ukraine series fascinating and informative. (Thanks very very much).
Is there an index so I can watch them in order? I've found what I think are the first three but not sure what's next.
Thanks again.
Thank you for what you said @44:00 . You have made the case very clearly.
Soviet army 2.0 and if you don’t believe me just ask the Poles… and every other Eastern European nation….
Plans do not survive contact with the enemy
-Erwin Rommel the only man who could of possibly beat the Soviet Union
Rommel is overrated. Most of his victories are the result of British incompetence. He wrote in his diary several times about how astounded he was that they continuously made the same mistakes and mentioned multiple incidents where if the British had acted differently he would have been finished.
@@thoughtfulinsanity3050 the soviets were very incompetent as well until Zhukov intervened
@@thoughtfulinsanity3050 Most of Rommel’s victories were because the British codes were comprehensively broken by the Germans (as were the American diplomatic cyphers - the American consul in Cairo was sending verbose reports by radio to Washington (almost as verbose as the Japanese reports on German plans sent to Tokyo)).
Rommel started losing as soon as his radio intercept unit was captured.
I’ve watched all three of you competing overviews. Absolutely fantastic breakdown of the situations. Slava Ukraini !!
Brovo great vlog thank you thank you ❤️🇨🇦
Hello from Kyiv Ukraine 🇺🇦
Back in the old days only a few radios had encryption. So we had a paper encryption sheet where we could manually encrypt critical information (such as grid coordinates). Cumbersome and time-consuming - but it got the job done.
Thank you for your work!
