General Bauer has to repeatedly redirect the interviewer to situate agency with UKRAINE, not Russia, and see the war through the prism of Ukraine, not Russia. Such an aweful interviewer,
indeed. she even started with the "awful terror attacks in russia". Who cares? The russian president didn't and try to use it in a spin against Ukraine.. So, why should we? No empathy on my side.
@wendel6 What do you expect from fly by night media when not even mainstream media is of any value or seriousness.
Panic and fearmonger!!!!
@@Joe-born1986 The French will win the war with a few Foreign Legion soldiers. BUT they have second thoughts hearing that the Russian soldiers will shoot at them.
These countries supporting Ukraine are like the background building. Swinging left and right and going nowhere
You're right, it's a comedy for the general public, especially those prone to this kind of manipulation and propaganda, those with a low IQ.
"We must not let Russia win"?! And what are you going to do to prevent that, gentlemen, because Russia is really winning. They lag behind the Russian military industry, the US, NATO, plus Japan, Australia, South Korea... From 5 to 7 times! Russia produces only 152mm artillery shells at least 3 million per year! The US and NATO and all the others, not even 1 million?! And it is the same in all other segments of the military industry. Russia surpasses the West by several light years! But "we must not allow Russia to win"?! And how will that stop you?! So, these clown admirals, generals... They only serve propaganda to dumb down and lie to the people in the West, through the mainstream media, even though everything has been obvious for a long time. And the winner of the war in Ukraine has long been decided, it is Russia, the only question is how far Russia will want to go!
For more than two years, they mocked the Russians and told propaganda lies in the media: "Russians are stupid, backward, idiots, Ukrainians are powerful, great Ukraine is winning"?! Really?! So what now, gentlemen, the Russians have recycled the largest part of the Ukrainian proski army, and they are advancing slowly but surely! And this is just the beginning, we still have to expect big military operations and offensives from the Russians!
That's why it's like that, because someone in the US and NATO estimated that, back in 2004, after the first colored CIA revolution in Ukraine, it failed. This second one, 10 years later, unfortunately "succeeded", but for now at least half a million Ukrainians have died, I hope that it was "worth it"?! The war in Ukraine began with the coup of 2014, an illegal co-production by the US, NATO, CIA... All this is generally known and with many details, especially from the recorded conversations of Victoria Newland. Without the coup in Ukraine, the US CIA colored revolution, there would never have been a war in Ukraine, that is clear to anyone with an IQ higher than room temperature! Of course, the opinion of such admirals, generals and "experts" from the US and NATO was that the well-equipped and trained Ukrainian army, which numbered around one million soldiers at the beginning of 2022, would be de facto and de jure then, although not only officially in After the US, NATO is by far the best, most numerous and strongest NATO army, which already has 10 years of experience in a real war, unlike the US and the entire NATO, which have no experience in a real war against a serious opponent! And that as such, he will do the "right thing" for the benefit of the US and NATO, that is, "win the war with Russia and remove Putin from power"?! And that the US will, after that, set up some of its own puppets of the CIA version of Navalny, Zelensky ... And similar to that, with all the technical, tactical and intelligence ... And all the help of the US NATO ... And that's how the US will get the huge resources of the Russians that can steal! And also, as Biden told us, more than 50 countries participate in arming Ukraine! However, that is not enough, obviously. So, gentlemen, you have screwed up a bit
As they fooled the public with the "game changers" Leopard 2, Challenger 2, Abrams tanks, IFV Bradley, Himars...None of that turned out to be a "game changer", on the contrary! The same false propaganda story now. Now they are fooling and lying to people that the F-16 will be a "game changer"?! Which is really funny! The Russians have hundreds of better planes than the F-16, not to mention air defense systems.
Yes that's how Putin started the war he said he wasn't going to attack Ukraine and then he did.
Zelensky the puppet was behind this attack. NATO and Ukraine are terrorists states
@@Albet27 Well, not really, Putin has been warning since 2008 that Ukraine cannot be a member of NATO. And long before that, US NATO organized, documented and paid for the color revolution "orange revolution"... Unsuccessfully. The second one was carried out "successfully" 10 years later "Maidan revolution. Also organized by the US CIA and NATO. Documented sources that state exactly the money that the US allocated for this kind of coup and the overthrow of the legally elected head of Ukraine by an illegal coup! There is also a recorded conversation of Victoria Newlad, how does he choose who will be the prime minister, who will be the president of Ukraine?! That is, who will be the puppet of the US! A month before the Maidan! Later, she distributed cakes directly from the American embassy to the protestors...
So, if there wasn't all that colored revolution, coup, all that illegal organized by the US, there would never be a war in Ukraine. Russia until 2014, later only in 2022, never had a problem with Ukraine and Ukrainians.
So the documented war was caused by the US and NATO, not by Putin and Russia.
Of course, you can believe in the obvious lies and propaganda of the mainstream media, "Putin got up one morning and unprovoked said, I'm going to invade Ukraine today because I'm crazy and I want to kill Ukrainians and conquer all of Europe"?! Really?! If you have enough IQ and brain, you will certainly not believe such nonsense.

1:10 "inconvenient truth" you say? Since when has the truth been an inconvenience to bunker grandpa? The truth is completely irrelevant to a madman or a dictator with absolute power.
So the Jews love truth or Talmud?
Mayby but the madman or a dictator do not forced mobilization of the people of the contry like ukraine or suport the BANDERAS idiology (ukraine leader 1941/1944)).
@@pedrohpires6608 deixa de beber. Nota-se que tens os neurónios todos fodidos.
@@pedrohpires6608 Sorry to have to say this but you are completely ignorant. If you looked up Banderas Biography you would find he was a prisoner of Nazi concentration Camp Sachsenhausen from 1941 until 1944. A very inconvenient truth for Russian propaganda trying to blame Bandera for everything what happened then.
like biden? A madman and senil guy.
Rob Bauer is fucking nuts!!!
This days I am always perplexed by the so called media analyst, they are like hearsay or rumor mongering
In the case of this TV Rain channel, they simply work for Russian propaganda, while pretending to be a "free oppositions" channel.
Well, she is not in Ukraine. What you expect from her.. she asked questions n he answered. Its not enough?
These EU guides are all gone mad.
they believe they can outwitt and outbeat another nuclear super power, so they convince themselves by repeating that over n over in their western media.
goons ?
Good job!... I know it is difficult when you are both speaking in secondary languages to your own. You got it done, so kudos to you.
“F-16s will NOT be a game changer in Ukraine “
General Milley
Будут гореть как и все🔥
The first victim in war is the truth!
Yes that's how Putin started the war he said he wasn't going to attack Ukraine and then he did.
That's why the anglo-american axis engages in these criminally instegated War crimes. ISIS -k has been a tool of the same. 12-14 CIA facilities in the Left Bank of the Ukraine since 2014. Exploiting fascists in the Ukraine there since WW II. Widespread use fascist symbolism, and Banderite mindset presence.
The West seeks precisely "the death of Truth." It has become "An Empire of Lies" Such a thing is deemed to assist their hegemonic hubris; warmongers for decades. US Overturned 83 governments between 1947-1997; killed millions since the late 80's.
The general is pathological perhaps; or perhaps mostly a prodigious prevaricator. The Russians fight by attrition unlike the West. My US military sources tell me that 95% of Russian equipment and is more advanced and/or more up-to-date than the US / NATO. No more than 60,000 Russians can be confirmed dead. The Ukraine, 1-1/4 million KIA or MIA (this confirmed by UA sources and high level investors).Zelensky openly says 700K missing. Often 1.5-3 X that for WIA.
Remember the Russians / Soviets killed 4 of 5 fascists in WW II. They utterly overwhelmed Napoleon in previous warfare.
The Western disposition is a "politics via other means"; aka War. As the West crumbles "when all else fails they take you to war."
Yes and the US has used NATO to provoke Russia each time a new Eastern bloc country was admitted to NATO despite its promises to successive Russian leaders that it would not do so. The world saw how the US responded to the USSR placing nuclear weapons in Cuba. The Baltic nations should be grateful that Putin has exercised such tolerance to date. Career military men like this German have based their livelihood on towing the US/NATO line. If you want to hear unfiltered impartial truth listen to retired US Colonel Douglas McGregor. Aside from causing the death of a whole generation of Ukrainian men, US/NATO has only strengthened the Russian economy and its ties to China. Historically Russia has only engaged in war when it has been attacked; firstly by Napoleon and later by Hitler’s Germany. It started the war in Ukraine because its security was compromised. When it comes to an agreement with the powers arming and funding the war, then the war will stop. Why would it want to invade other countries militarily when it can simply cripple their economies with cyber attacks? It won’t lose any more lives and those countries have nothing that it wants. It’s stronger than it has ever been! Macron can do all the sabre-rattling he wants but if he actually takes provocative action against Russia it’s the French people who will suffer, not the Russians
Of course it is.
Let us take for example the Cyprus issue.
The island is half almost occupied by Turkey since 1974
MILITARILY OCCUPATION
Turkey,
Using the very similar excuses, like the Russians on our days ,to excuse their invasion against Ukraine.
. Invaded the island, kicked out the local population, been replaced them till on our days,mainly by Turks,settlers from its mainland.
Cyprus
Is a full member of EU since 2004
Even the Russians, mentioned and the Cyprus issue, showing how all those western countries hypocrites are still have their eyes,ears and Mouths completely shut about
@@Albet27 that argument is so childish and so many less intelligent people is stuck on it. yes , why didn't he send them an invitation card a year before so they could prepare and beat him at war. As a matter of fact he was warning them since 2008.
Please find me a senior officer who has soldiers under his direct command fighting in a war. If you sleep under clean sheets each night, had a shower down the hall and went to a mess 3 times a day it doesn't count for spit.
Very well said. I will add to that..."who has a son on the frontier"
They become politicians, smoking government pickle. Certainly not like the old days. Yes, i served 12 yrs combat arms OEF and OIF. Governments are crooked 5:16 and so are most senior officers.
So he has no problem saying "we can't allow Russia to win" but when asked what it would then mean for Ukraine to win, he ducks and hides behind "that's not up to us, it's up to Ukrainians". Hilariously pathetic.
There's no rule that one side loosing means other side automatically wins....
Because the first is an easy statement to make seeing Russia is the aggressor. The second is more difficult to make seeing as he is not a spokesperson for Ukraine.. simple

No, he has no problem. Neither do I. What is YOUR problem with ruSSia losing the putin's neo-fascist imperialist war?
@@sot11cat The only neo-fascists and non-Nazis are those supported by the US and NATO globalist fascist hegemony! And these are Ukrainians, they are even proud of it, they have a museum dedicated to neo-Nazis and Hitler's servants in Lviv, you can visit to see for yourself the sickness of Ukrainian identity and society! In front of the museum there is a large monument to the main Ukrainian Nazi, Stepan Bandera, who, by the way, was declared a "hero of Ukraine" in 2010, believe it or not?! By the then pro-Western president of Ukraine. The followers of that ideology are the later founders of the neo-Nazis
brigades and battalions of Azov, right sector, kraken... And many others, neo-fascist battalions and Ukrainian brigades with US NATO weapons are marching through Ukraine and waging a proxy war for the interests of the US hegemony of imperialism and globalism, and LGBT-ism... So only someone who is crazy or mentally ill can support Ukraine! So, my friend, you need to know some historical data and not believe the mainstream US NATO-fascist globalist propaganda and its lying media. So every normal person should support Russia and Putin, who are winning this war anyway.
Europe has still not defined a Ukraine strategy that will lead to victory. Without such a strategy, there are no binding targets. Without a definition of a goal, no one knows what, when, where, with what milestones and in what quantity to be produced. Instead, I notice a cacophony of nice perseverance slogans and uncoordinated actions
You don’t tell the enemy your plans on social media. Surprise is the best strategy .
@@alanross1106 Surprise what surprise ??? nuclear weapons are in the corner...
@@pedrohpires6608 No one is going to use nukes... against an opponent who also has nukes... unless the one who first uses it is saying "We are willing to die, along with all humans, when we attack another nation that has nukes."
France and Britain, EACH by themselves, have enough nukes to turn Moscow and 99.99% of Russian cities with 10,000 or more into radiation ovens, even if combined, their ICBMs may only be around 600.... with Russians having more than 5 to 8 times as many ICBMs.
With ICBMs/SLBMs --- that contain half a dozen to 14 or so smaller MIRV warheads, with each single MIRV having 5 to 10 times the power of FAT MAN (that 10,000 pound, first thermonuclear dropped on Nagasaki in 1945) --- you don't need more than HALF the payload of ONE OF THEM (ICBM/SLBM) to turn 100% of Moscow or Berlin or DC or Paris or London or Beijing.... into a radiation.
The US Navy and the British Royal Navy both use the Trident II SLBMs, each with 8 MIRVs, with 475 Kiloton per MIRV or 14 MIRVs, with 90 Kiloton per MIRV.
France has similar SLBM MIRV arrangements, in their M51's....
Saying, "Yeah, but we Russians have enough ICBMs to turn both London and Paris into radiations 5 times over" is NOT gonna impress anyone.
Dying once, in a radiation oven, is still 100% dead.
The strategie for victory is to utterly defeat the other part and militarily it's basically impossible to do so , that's the only problem...
@@trqster victory for Ukraine means the boarder lines from 1991.

The head of the Servant of the People party has described part of the negotiations and how good the terms were.
The war has ended. Someone please update them not bring up the issue to pin more and more.
With respect but it seems some people don't see the real picture and consequences of where the world is leading when people insist on war rather than peace.
Agree.. its insane people herald putin as a liberator as he wipes out entire peaceful communities....
This man does not know more than what he read in the msm newspaper.

nice try ivan. but the force is weak on you.
They have done well so far.. i don't see any reason to be certain they either win or lose..

and obvious propaganda, my friend? 31k?! Are you serious?! Yes, when you multiply 31k by 12. Between 400k and 500k Ukrainian soldiers died in the war. And that's our minimum estimate.
@@piotrd.4850Yep, and a lot of children in that number who died.
There are 335 million people in the US.

It is concerning when military heads are totally focused on political matters and narratives. I think that such is very dangerous.
Can the F16s stop these glide bombs?
NO
No, but they can put a dent in the Russian air offensive.
No, these glide-b. can be released from 50-70 km from the frontline. The F16 should get within 80km of the frontline to use AA missiles, but the Russian SAM coverage or the AA threat from the MiG-31 reaches 150-250 km over the frontline...
They can stop the airplanes dropping these bombs.
Rob is an idiot , his career is probably over, as are the other idiots that run NATO, they will all be fired when this is over and probably NATO is done too and willl be dismanteld , it's expansive tendencies is a danger for the world and read my lips Russia will destroy the f16's
ua-cam.com/video/7iz2U6_-UiQ/v-deo.html
This admiral & this interviewer are fumbling, amateur, and lack any credibility..
Jokers !
Peace is the solutions
Great job
Good English
F-16s is old technology which makes Putin smile.
that's why he calls it an 'escalation"
I would like interviewers to be a bit smarter when they talk about "negotiations" or "peace deals". I would like it, if they point out that the ruler of Russia has been clear on his views on Ukraine - "does not exist, should not exist, is a Nazi state" and so on. I would like them to point out that an attitude, where you dehumanize the other country and where you are actually a war criminal because of systematic abduction of children of another nation, with the attempt to eradicate all traces of their original identity by force, cannot be a starting point for negotiations.
I would like them to point out the systematic hate speech on Russian state media - not only against Ukraine, but against the USA and the West in general. Russia wants to negotiate with the USA - that is what they are saying. And this basic lack of respect towards other countries also holds true of the whole of Europe. In the mind of the ruler of Russia, there is no valid negotiation partner other than the US president - and then - he just has zero trust in this president and just wants to see the downfall of the USA.
Even touching the topic of negotiations should start from an understanding, that the ruler of Russia needs to respect the sovereignty of other countries - and as he does not respect the sovereignty of his own people, he does not respect the sovereignty of anybody, really. That I feel we are in touch with what we are dealing with. I do see the possibility of this ruler to change his attitude. He needs to say and mean that he is respecting Ukraine and the will of their people. But for this to happen .... we are a long way from seeing this.
But for an interviewer - an this Katia is not alone on this topic - I would hope an understanding of mutual respect being vital to any kind of meaningful making of agreements could be possible and it would make it much more enjoyable to watch if this understanding could be projected.
I see a dirty U.S.
Why F16 are promised after 4-6 month and such a "promises" I hear over a year?
Planes are ready, pilot training is still ongoing
Look at Poland - it had taken rougly 8 years from confirmation of order to first 4 planes on Red Flag and contractors were kept in bases even longer.
pilot training AND maintenance crews
"..my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.." says the Lord..
It never ceases to astonish and disgust me that Ukraine has to BEG Western entities for help (ammo, artillery, planes, etc.) .... how in the hell is it that Western nations seem oblivious to the fact that the courageous and innovative Ukrainians are FIGHTING the front lines of the WAR for these nations' very existence???! Help should be POURING in, for God's sake!!!
but NATO don't want to get their fingers burnt!!!
I am soooo.agree with you🎉thank you
Spot on, as a ‘Westerner’ I’m profoundly embarrassed 🇬🇧🇺🇦
@@PeterPeteThis is not a NATO thing. NATO only exists to protect its members, and Ukraine is not a member (yet). LADM Bauer stated however, that NATO is providing non-military aid.
Nato's afraid, full of not-c's, Ukraine is not afraid, but dumb and full of not-c's. Western people aren't oblivious, we just want nothing to do with this foolishness.
He speaks war not peace and therefore a warmonger.
Wars are madness led by madmen.
So what is your solution.. tell Ukraine to just accept becoming part of Russia? They have self determination. N clearly they don't want to become a part of Russia. This is an existential war for Ukraine.. i agree it would be great if Russia withdrew and stopped playing Risk.. but they are not.. so Ukraine continues to defend
Its not their fault Russia cannot respect its borders

😂😂😂 .... I love to idea of watching this kind of DRAMA .. absolutely free . ..
I really respect Ekaterina for her diligence in bringing the truth to the west and hopefully citizens in Muscovy will also be able to receive TV Rain content. I think it is important for people to realize that “Rus” is a historical term for part of Ukraine from antiquity. Somewhere it was appropriated to describe what should be referred to as Moskva or Muscovy. Like everything else for many centuries, the hordes of Moscow have always stolen everything from Ukraine (Kievan Rus). Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava
Smart, Beautiful, Honest. She is awesome😀
Rus is the term used for Novgorod state (and it's satellites) which is a thousand miles away from ukraine. Your fast-food history doesn't add up.
@@kirillholt2329 check your history. Perhaps YOU should do some research. Kievan Rus' is a term which was first used around 880AD to describe a state which was established around the ancient city of Kiev. Kievan Rus' was originally a smaller state and later an amalgamation of states. Kievan Rus' existed until around 1400 AD. The Muscovites began using the name Russia centuries later. At least my fast food history involved ACTUAL RESEARCH.
Slava Ukraini, blood of my blood. Heroyam Slava.
Perhaps one day we will see the people of Muscovy and Siberia set free from Oppression, after the victory of Ukraine over Muscovy.
@@kirillholt2329 This term was undoubtedly connected with and meaning the lands around Kyiv/Pereyaslav, together with toponyms and all; so there is direct historical continuity here. What is now called Russia was called Muscovy before Peter I.
@@tarasmanolov okay ? you didn't address the point I was making but rather made some tangential remarks
Excellent Interview Ekaterina. Keep it up the good job. NATO should send troops to Ukraine even though President Zelensky did not ask for it,so that the war could end very quickly. Glory to Ukraine and NATO. From Keningau Sabah Malaysia.
Come on dude this is nothing but propaganda
When the f.16 is deployed the battle must be revice into a new level .every thing is possible in the balanced of items and caperbilities
yes
Hi Ekaterina. Thanks so much again for your awesome interview. You might know how much I appreciate you doing it so well. 🥰 Stay safe and well and see you next time for another interview with you. Love Claus ......and Slava Ukraini 💙💛
Bauer is Dutch and he knows to fight to colonize
It was one tribe in the Nettherlands who were the colonizers: the batavians !!!!
The batavians knew how to build ports. They were seafarers.
I wonder if Denmark will do anything about the grey fleet used to transport Russian oil ?
It is funny how the West asked small little CzechoSlovakia to take one for world peace, in 1938. How'd that work out for world peace?
Great interview….quality information.
If U.S. weaponry is so critical to the war as is proclaimed, this is no longer Ukraine’s war
Correct, it's Russia's war.
They started it, for territorial expansion.
Not just US weapons

Ekaterina,...
You are my favourite interviewer
You ask the right questions of all your interviewees and you are Gorgeous too ❤
Respect my dear Katya
You should come to Australia
Ukraine will be completely dependent on western support for many years to come - money and armement wise. The most worrying part is how will Zelensky be able to draft +500k soldiers to the battlefield to be able to hold the Russians advances, nevermind recovering occupied territories...
"Both sides need more time to find more people to fight" - this translates to finding more people to sacrifice in the meat grinder - what a tragedyto talk about civilian lives like numbers and statistics :(
He'd have to raid Poland for candidates xD
Russia is fighting a war alone against fifty countries.

"1991 borders" is not correct. Its "2013 borders"
Admiral Bauer stated very firmly that the F-16 is not a magic bullet, absolutely right. The interviewer, Ekaterina Kotrikadze, was trying to have a clear cut answer but she couln't. Ther isn't a proper answer about the war, nobody really knows what might happend.
Ekaterina is really a very very very tough journalist,very talented,very courageous lady ! I do like all the interviews she did !!!!!!!!! But today,general was very difficult but she pratically got all she needed ! Nice one Ekaterina !
I think she is quite unprofessional. She worries so much about people in Belgorod, completely forgetting about thousands dying in Ukraine. What's wrong with her?
She is against Ukraine winning the war, that is obvious.
@@Not123Or She is Russian and it looks like Russians have some perverted empathy - they demand maximum empathy from the whole world, if some tragedy happens to a Russian (often caused by another evil Russian, like it was with Navalny, Politkovskaya), but turn a blind eye to a tragedy caused by their government and ordinary Russians (military personnel, brainwashed mothers of conscripts) daily. You are right, it's weird - they see that the world powers can't stop Putin, but expect these powers to stop Ukraine from attacking Russia. There is a Ukrainian satiric who spotted this idiosyncrasie ua-cam.com/video/0HKI7hLINsg/v-deo.html (with English subtitles)
First they take Berlin than they take Manhattan... Militairy propaganda of the nato war machine...
We all know Putin would say no thanks if Manhattan was offered on a silver platter
Nsto did not supply airplanes.
6 F-16s
Someone said terrorist where going to belerus wich is a friend of russia sounds real lol
Which summer ?
Summer of 69: Sally come (how many times I'm not quite sure)!
Is this Rain a KGB operation?
Everybody is tired of this regional war.
Ukrainians should have the courage now to admit defeat, get rid of their comedian president, to allow someone with a more pragmatic attitude to salvage what's left of Ukraine and allow the dust to settle to rebuild regional confidence
This is the best interview that I have seen since Putin invaded Ukraine. Thank you TV Rain, and especially Ekaterina for her balanced attitude towards the questioning.
Kindly note at 14:29 - 50 countries supporting UKR !
Yes the OTAN or the new DELOS aliance.
Most countries don't care because of the lying Minsk Treaties fraud and the credibility of the West. Biden asked Boris to go to Turkiye and tell Zelensky to not sign a peace deal..... idiots on another level.

When ukrania doesnt have one
what will be the next game changing wunderwaffe which will change the game of the war?
NATO SHOULD HELP UKRAINE.
NATO can't help itself, let aloje Ukraine. The strength of NATO comes from the US military. Without it, Putin would all of Europe, with the exception perhaps of France and the UK. Those poor tiny countries in the baltic probably couldnt fight moscow police. All eastern countries, in fact, are beggars, with no significant mil industries. Italy and Germany have been negligent with their defense for decades. Scandinavians lack manpower. The whole of NATO is incapable of producing ammo to match Russia. If Trump wins, european NATO will be screwed.
THEY ARE AND THEY'RE LOSING BADLY
NATO has already helped Ukraine. Ukraine is in ruins.
You're right, it's a comedy for the general public, especially those prone to this kind of manipulation and propaganda, those with a low IQ.
"We must not let Russia win"?! And what are you going to do to prevent that, gentlemen, because Russia is really winning. They lag behind the Russian military industry, the US, NATO, plus Japan, Australia, South Korea... From 5 to 7 times! Russia produces only 152mm artillery shells at least 3 million per year! The US and NATO and all the others, not even 1 million?! And it is the same in all other segments of the military industry. Russia surpasses the West by several light years! But "we must not allow Russia to win"?! And how will that stop you?! So, these clown admirals, generals... They only serve propaganda to dumb down and lie to the people in the West, through the mainstream media, even though everything has been obvious for a long time. And the winner of the war in Ukraine has long been decided, it is Russia, the only question is how far Russia will want to go!
For more than two years, they mocked the Russians and told propaganda lies in the media: "Russians are stupid, backward, idiots, Ukrainians are powerful, great Ukraine is winning"?! Really?! So what now, gentlemen, the Russians have recycled the largest part of the Ukrainian proski army, and they are advancing slowly but surely! And this is just the beginning, we still have to expect big military operations and offensives from the Russians!
That's why it's like that, because someone in the US and NATO estimated that, back in 2004, after the first colored CIA revolution in Ukraine, it failed. This second one, 10 years later, unfortunately "succeeded", but for now at least half a million Ukrainians have died, I hope that it was "worth it"?! The war in Ukraine began with the coup of 2014, an illegal co-production by the US, NATO, CIA... All this is generally known and with many details, especially from the recorded conversations of Victoria Newland. Without the coup in Ukraine, the US CIA colored revolution, there would never have been a war in Ukraine, that is clear to anyone with an IQ higher than room temperature! Of course, the opinion of such admirals, generals and "experts" from the US and NATO was that the well-equipped and trained Ukrainian army, which numbered around one million soldiers at the beginning of 2022, would be de facto and de jure then, although not only officially in After the US, NATO is by far the best, most numerous and strongest NATO army, which already has 10 years of experience in a real war, unlike the US and the entire NATO, which have no experience in a real war against a serious opponent! And that as such, he will do the "right thing" for the benefit of the US and NATO, that is, "win the war with Russia and remove Putin from power"?! And that the US will, after that, set up some of its own puppets of the CIA version of Navalny, Zelensky ... And similar to that, with all the technical, tactical and intelligence ... And all the help of the US NATO ... And that's how the US will get the huge resources of the Russians that can steal! And also, as Biden told us, more than 50 countries participate in arming Ukraine! However, that is not enough, obviously. So, gentlemen, you have screwed up a bit
As they fooled the public with the "game changers" Leopard 2, Challenger 2, Abrams tanks, IFV Bradley, Himars...None of that turned out to be a "game changer", on the contrary! The same false propaganda story now. Now they are fooling and lying to people that the F-16 will be a "game changer"?! Which is really funny! The Russians have hundreds of better planes than the F-16, not to mention air defense systems.
@@lappo2534 as far as I can tell they thwarted the attack on Kyiv, pushed back most of the offensive n held most of the country for over 2 years.. I wouldn't say Ukraine is losing.. if they received more support most likely they'd have a chance to take back all occupied areas
Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland joined the alliance in 1999. Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia joined in 2004, Slovakia. In fact, of the members added between 1990 and 2020, all were part of the Warsaw Pact or the former Yugoslavia. And now Sweden and Finland, after the Russian criminal invasion of Ukraine
It's strange how all these countries, previously oppressed by the USSR, wanted to join NATO as soon as possible.
For example, in Hungary, 85% of voters voted in favor of joining NATO. It's almost as if they are still afraid of Russia's imperialist efforts.
Nato has never helped Ukraine, far far far far from it
The responce and help for Ukraine by the West has been pathetic and it will come back to bite Europe, Nato and Britain. Such a dangerous attitude to have Zelenski fight with his hands tied
This old dude is insane, as is NATO, so nuclear war it is... I'm surprised Putin didn't use tactical nukes yet. Shows Putin is no madman but his responses are well thought out.
They probably don't work. Lol
Admiral Bauer has no clear roadmap to challenge Russia!
Why does anybody in his/her right mind assume and imagine the aging fleet of F-16 with 1990s technology will be any match against Russia’s S-500 surface-to-air defense systems with 21st century technology, never mind their 5th Gen PAKFA fighter jets?
The first f-16s were produced in 1979. They have to be specially checked out, repaired, serviced so that they're even safe to fly. And they are deliberately talked about because both the west and the Russians know they can be used to carry nuclear weapons. Too old and poor of equipment to be much use except as an excuse for provocation and propaganda. Russian aircraft are substantially Superior. The West has become technologically lazy and indolent. Meanwhile the military industrial / Congressional complex is happy to throw away taxpayer money on equipment that is often second rate 🙁
The attackers were of the islamic faith but clearly in the employ of someone ?
They did not fit the Issus modus operandi. They did not fight to the death, to the last bullet. They were poorly trained ! The warning the USgave was on the 7th for 48hrs. The attack took place on the 22nd. There is a lot more to this affair yet to come out...follow the money ?
You are correct, follow the money and it leads back to Putler!
How would that work though? The USA warned and afterwards said it was isis. So that rules out Putin or the kremlin, The question is, was it really isis though or some other actors using isis as cover. @@rogermartinez78
Many extremists flee the scenes after their attack.. look up some of the major attacks I'm Europe 2015-2019.. many tried to flee.. some even successfully hid for months in neighbouring countries
Indeed! ISIS -k? A well-known tool of the CIA and MI6. The terrorists that were hired are clearly not any kind of observant Muslims; too many things they did wrong and simply do not fit. We know that CIA and MI6 have been training the intelligence operatives in the Ukraine since 2014. And this is exactly the kind of thing the US has done for decades. And while the US likely did not do it directly the Ukraine was surely a proxy. Any intelligence outfit worth its salt can easily track where all those calls came-from/went-out-to. Retired US intelligence officers indicate that the March 7th was not carried out as an attack because there were too many armed guards present to keep order, preceding the elections, at that time in that venue. And while this may have been the worst terrorist attack in years, Russia is no stranger to terrorist attacks. And just like we were behind troubles in Georgia, Chechnya, and other locations, the West was almost certainly involved in this attack at least indirectly.
Does everyone in NATO, like this general, conduct constant maneuvers with the bottle, save yourselves, people who can have such commanders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Russia claims that US and UK did not inform.who is correct
Tell your enemies, why don't you, that you will be weak until the summer. You should NOT have revealed this information.
Great interview. I put it in the class of the excellent interviews on TVP with Retired general, Ben Hodges. It’s comforting to have officers of high intelligence and honor protecting us.
A Farmer( cheese Head ) is Admiral😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. How he reached that position!? 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Good thing the reporter is not in charge, she wants Ukraine to give up, it is obvious.
I hope this UA-cam channel respects Free Speech.
Very true
Omg, his full of BS
wrong shoes Admiral Commander.:) .. but excellent content also from Ekaterina as always
They will probably try to keep the conflict even:)
Almost for a year I can hear only talks how not to allow putin occupy all Ukraine but nothing is being done. Instead of makeing broad analysis of the frontline just give more weapons ant air-defence systems😢
Weapons do not grow on trees. They are expensive, take a long time to produce, and are in short supply because Ukraine did not correctly use those that were given to Ukraine and are now destroyed. If Europe-NATO gives what is left to Ukraine they will also be defenseless (they already are in many respects). This is what caused the tiff between Trump and NATO. Around the time the little green men walked into Crimea in 2014, Germany was only spending 1.3% of GDP for it's military and this with America supporting the 63,000 soldiers and contractors living or stationed in Germany.
Your words are so assuring, I wonder how many wars you’ve fought and won? Judging by your medals a lot. Or do they give you medals for firing bs?
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
they give medals for firing BS - just look at the medals King Charles wears. And he's never fought in a war!!!
Bull shit medals 🥴
Of course Ukraine and UK
nice one
Why this journalist Ekaterina Kotrikadze is so nervous, behaving strangely and trying to accuse Ukraine in some casualties in Belgorod regions. There are Free Russian battalion soldiers who are Russian citizens.
Fake Ruzzians from Ukropian nahzi factory enabling cookie cutter performance with rusty equipment
Maybe she still think like in the former Russian terms as a Georgian origin person.
NATO needs to ramp up it's own ammunition production. I have read that NATO has a couple of months of artillery
ammunition in stock.
This war has demonstrated that an artillery requirement in conventional war is at least 2000-5000 shells per day.
Russia is firing 10000 or more shells per day. Nato has been fighting insurgents for years now. There is not a large amount
of artillery ammunition required. in such a war. The stocks of ammunition has been kept low to save money.
It's time to resupply both Ukraine and NATO'S own stockpiles.
Where exactly have they this stock. Your mother's garden shed perhaps?
nato is lost cause and will be defeated easily
There’s no profit to be made in production of these weapons and ammo. Hence, the shortage.
@@williamwarrenconkright3973Really? NATO just gained 2 more capable members.
This war demonstrated that if you limit your combat operations to firing blindly in direction of the enemy, it's going to take long.
