Ukraine can already go "nuclear" in other ways, at least 3 and probably more. 2 are already availabe. I wrote some stuff about such. First, lets clarify some context and considerations The general idea of nuclear deterrence is the option to do horrible things to your foes, but with the goal to never ever let that happen. This also includes the other ‘nuclear’ options Ukraine can execute - those will probably have big ecological and humanitary consequences for the region and beyond. In this context, such options would only be used in very desperate scenario’s, with Ukraine facing full genocide and extermination by Russians, with allies also backing down or want to enforce a very bad deal upon the Ukrainian people. When Ukraine gets cornered, such options will be considered. Regarding ‘classic’ nukes, it might take some months to two years to get some. Ukraine is a lot bigger in resources then Israel, Iran and North-Korea - all states with nuclear potential. Some people think it can happen even faster, in weeks. Lets hope we will never find out. Ukraine can already target Russia’s oil export terminals in the Black Sea, worth of transferring millions of barrels a day. This will hurt the world economy and can also could cause a huge ecological distaster in the waters, for all neighbours around the Black Sea. Someone had a different plan to paralyse Russia’s energy infrastructure. It does require a persistent campaign, but has potential. As Goran stated: HV (380 or 440 kV power grid) pylons are even EASIER targets, than oil tank farms & their distillation/ separation columns: unlike columns, there is plethora of those, free standing in the wide open spaces; and hitting just a SINGLE one will grind that whole circuit to a halt, for few weeks, minimum (and with it, entire production lines, civilian & military purposes alike)… So...dont cherish any illusions : no one can stop Ukraine from resorting to nuclear options. If we want them to honour the interests of allies and the world, we also should do the same to their struggle for survival. So lets reflect on ourselves first, before we pretend to be on a higher moral ground.
you gotta clean up your comment section. it's obvious that there are a lot of new fake accounts commenting here, spamming Russian propaganda. St Petersburg has been stepping on the gas with their bot armies in recent weeks. they see their chance now to push weakminded Westerners to abandon Ukraine.
@@Forrestlynx We assume the Russians are paying for it. There's a good chance that they're paying without goods or money. Ukraine would have also had to pay for the aid they got with beneficial trade deals. Russia could have done the same for NK. Though what is most likely is tech, food, and oil. Yet I have only seen rotten flour being used for defective artillery shells.
Is it weird seeing western countries struggling to support Ukraine while dictatorship country like north Korea and Iran possibly even china has no problem supporting Russia
I do not think South Korea is stupid to get involved here. It would simoly be a stupid move. N.Korea sending its men and equipment into a meat grinding of Ukraine is not bad thing for SK, why interupting your enemy when he is making a mistake. Maybe they will just do a token move and threat to deter Russia from sending any serious stuff to Kim, other than that they should not get involved...

@@mateusmascarenhas5824 No, sadly not. But you can make one! =) I see seven videos, maybe there are more that are not so obviously titled. It won't take long to comb through the past year's uploads.
US elected Trump, Germany's Government coalition essentially collapsed, France have fallen short of their 3 Billion Euro aid pledge. The UK is still dealing with Brexit consequences. So who can Zelensky count on for support?
I feel like its more on the quote(dont remember the exact) that says: "Peace is the brief moment in time where everyone stops to reload their guns" and it feels the guns are reloaded now
Is there seriously only 1 million men in Ukraine between 18-25? That’s insane. I’m willing to bet there will be 1 million casualty on each side by the time this is over.
@@chozer1Do you have an iq of 25? 2023 population of Ukraine was 37 million,more than half of that is women, moreover,there are old people and children 😅. Fucking fool
Literally a repeat of the Polish Soviet war just after ww1, the Bolsheviks got to the gates of Warsaw and western leaders abandoned Poland. Them the miracle on the Vistula happened and save Poland till 1939.
maybe they can give kimchi for those who have surrender, and tell them that eac hand everyone can get a box of fermented kimchi at the ukrainian prison
NK hasn't fought a war since '53. They want to give their soldiers actual battlefield experience. Much like the participants did during the Spanish Civil War.
No, it's not pointless. Russia is liberating Ukraine from Nazis and nationalists and will not allow another NATO country to be nearby. And until Russia completes this special operation, nothing will end. And there will be no negotiations with their illegitimate “president”.
Never in my life have I seen a more biased "documentary" about war that is pro-USA-NATO-UKRAINE who generated this conflict. Shame on you coward, you were supposed to be neutral, yet you ask donations on patreon for supporting your biased content. Russia defends itself against NATO !!!!
Russia made a push on Kiev, if they had succeeded do we think they would've settled merely for the eastern oblasts? Any peace deal based on current positions is appeasement and Russia will be demanding historic claims in five years. If wars of expansion are illegal, except if you hold the land and deal with some sanctions for a few years, then they aren't illegal, they are just expensive.
@@CopiumFactory On both sides. Russia have bled themselves dry as they take town after town, and the Ukrainians have been bled dry as they try to hold on. The casualty numbers are horrific.
@@CopiumFactory What do you mean? The Ukrainians are not the ones complaining. It is the West and only the West and Russia for now that wish to end this war, solely because the Americans are so incredibly stupid that they vote for a criminal conspiracy theorist that will willingly throw all their allies under the bus. You make it sound like the Ukrainians want peace and we are forcing them to continue fighting. But the Ukrainians realise there is no future for them if Russia steals their land, and it is EXACTLY like AHeresheyHare says, and clear now to every dictator around the world that borders are not real, anyone, any people with the money, guns and willingness to suffer and die on mass can move any border at any time. Wars of expansion are not illegal anymore because there is no international law, because there is nobody that will enforce it. Pax Americana is dead
Welcome on how history hasworked forever. The Russian state is just to big to care for expensive wars. Without a world war, making everything expensive for an attacking nation is the only thing one can do. And this only applies on small nations.
Russia has always used peace deals just to buy time. Look at their disastrous retreat from Warsaw in the Polish Soviet war, the Bolsheviks were saved by western leaders forcing Poland into peace.
Are the Oryx team checking what happens with the visually confirmed losses? Some sources suggest that both side are managing to tow and repair to working conditions a lot of their armored vehicles.
@@solongos5500 Agreed, South Korea should not waste lives to fight in Ukraine while North Korea has nukes and millions of soldiers. It would be foolish
Some are probably well trained, the rest poorly. Their equipment is mostly out dated. But if you want to know better I propose you to do research cuz people who control western media do have their agendas and not everything is always the same as reality
I SALUTE YOU SIR I'VE BEEN WATCHING MORE THAN A MONTHS OF YOUR VIDEOS IT WILL GIVE KNOWLEDGE FOR ME IN WAR HISTORY THANKYOU SIR FOR YOUR EFFORT HAVE A NICE DAY I'M YOUR BIG FAN ^_^
@johnsteiner3417 Russia has no problem with prolonged war it's EU with high energy cost Russia simply imports from non NATO and western countries like middle east,china ,India and many more
@@sevvythe3rd597 ya but do you see how disingenous it is to take ukrainian military loses from ukraine/allies while also taking russian military loses from ukraine/allies, especially when ukraine has been known to lie especially to preserve the "ukrainian morale"
@@prominentmagpie7153 most of russian losses are documented, so Ukraine was trying to keep russian losses as close to truth as possible. And those losses are possible, since up to half russian forces are not even russians, a lot of them are from donetsk and luhansk. And yeah, the estimates are not just from Ukraine
North Korea is poor not helpless. The country lack of every thing except soldiers and weapons. It is a perfect match with what Russia need, soldiers and weapons. Meanwhile North Korea will get paid and energy, it is a win win for both. Not to mention Russia and North Korea has an alliance. I don't know why nobody in the west couldn't predict this.
The video is informative but the Russian casualties should be taken with a pinch of salt because Russia is not fighting those Bakhmut, Avdiivka style gruelling urban battles anymore They are not attacking big towns and cities head on instead they are flanking them from sides to force Ukrainians to abandon their positions and retreat like they did in Selydove. After previously attacking with tanks head on towards Vuhledar and taking huge casualties Russians this time flanked Vuhledar which forced 72nd Brigade to retreat to avoid being encircled. Russian have changed their tactics by not attacking in huge armoured columns but instead are attacking in small groups of 10 man on bikes or on foot which has dramatically reduced Russian casualties. Independent neutral sources have indicated Russian casualties to be as high as 250,000 not more then that. Its best to hear from Ukrainian soldiers on the frontlines rather then thier generals who are mostly playing politics and PR attacks rather then proper war planning. Ukrainian soldiers have admitted that russians are now attacking them in small teams which has made it harder for them to target Russians. Russia now barely uses its armoured cars and only uses them to transport soldiers rather then to attack and has mostly stopped its tanks attacks also
While you make very good points for how the "fog of war" works, I really don't buy that Russian casualties have "dramatically reduced" at the exact same time they are estimated to be the highest per day basically ever. Two new fronts have opened up since the spring, Ukraine remains on an advantageous defensive in both, and Russia is going HARD on an offensive in Donbas right now. The casualties are probably not being lied about, they are just high for slightly different reasons than before.
@@sztallone415 почему нет? Солдатам РФ платят большие деньги за службу, я почти уверен что северокорейские солдаты обойдутся в разы дешевле, считай это как рабочие иммигранты, только солдаты.
@@andrewkachan4209 Yes, korean soldiers are cheap, especially to the DPRK but that's not the problem. I meant that a state with no manpower issues wouldn't need such a help from someone like Kim, a pariah. Reminder that Putin himself signed sanctions against n-korea in the past too. Not to mention this dragged the South-korea closer to help the other side.

@@johnstuart4914honestly it was probably the right call for them. The apartheid governments, despite not being ethically or morally sound, were stable, while the transition to black leadership had the possibility of being very unstable, or even for internal conflicts to arise, and you absolutely do not want nukes floating around in that type of environment.
Canada never had nukes, its a bit of a dumb statement. Ukraine was always going to get invaded regardless of nukes, nobody wants to launch a nuke, it would be global suicide as everyone would instantly declare war on you, and worst case we are all dead anyways. There is no reason to waste resources on nuclear arsenal that will never rival Russia or America. It does not give you an edge, if Ukraine had a nuclear weapon, what could they even do? Russia is massive and they cant nuke all of Russia, but Russia can nuke all of Ukraine ten times over. So its a dumb statement that some nukes for Ukraine would some how prevented this.
I haven't watched your last few releases covering this war because I've been favoring more up-to-date coverage by regular news outlets. That was a mistake. I forgot how in-depth you guys are. There's a lot in here I haven't seen covered by mainstream media, and of course it's all in one convenient place. Guess I'm back.
In both cases, it was Russian weapons located abroad. Ukrainian government didn't have the codes to use them, neither dominated all technology behind it. So it's more a piece of propaganda than a real fact. Yes, with enough time they could circumvent this, but the US didn't want to support this madness, so if Ukraine were to push for it in early 90s, Russia could invade and the US really wouldn't back them.
@@Neomalthusianothat’s true but let’s not forget much of what the Russians “own” was made with help from the Soviet partner states so it would be unfair to call ukraines nukes Russian only
Keep in mind that the US spent about $120-200 billion a year in afghanstan. Ukraine is also an industrial war, something Afghanistan was not. If US fought an industrial war, it would cost the US about $500 billion a year. Russia is spending $120 billion a year, which doesn't include 8 million shells from NK. Russian purchasing power is also much lower So yes $50 billion will last 3-6 months worth of fighting.
Considering that Ukraine is fighting russia, which has a LOT more - yes. Even if comparing to US spendings in Afganistan and Iraq wars, Ukraine receives much shorter end of the stick
Two things Mr. Kings and Generals. 1. In the beginning of you videos a tank stops atop a pile of debris. Would this not silhouette the tank thus making it vulnerable to attack. 2. In this video you said "we" when referring to the Ukraine/Russian conflict. Are you Ukrainian? You did say "we."
It is but the when you think about it its quite sad actually. Why does Israel, with a huge military industrial base get more military aid then Ukraine does in 2 years just to bomb children in Gaza. If Israel wants to continue this war, why does the US need to pay for it? Meanwhile Ukraine is fighting a war of annihilation against a global power and the US does nothing.
The long term consequences are too heavy to ignore. With their demographic issues, losing the men between 18 and 25 would be a catastrophic blow in the long term. The Ukrainian government doesn' t have the luxury of thinking only in the short term. It has to consider the post-war situation too.
According to Demographics of Ukraine there's roughly 9.6 million Men in Ukraine between the Ages of 25-54 and 2.5 Million men between the ages of 15-25. So i think the downsides of lowering the drafting age outweigh the Benefits
They could have drafted women at the beginning of the conflict, but they chose not to and missed an opportunity. Drafting them now would look desperate
Everyone said it but I will repeat it now, [if we exclude Biases] you are one of Best People who explain the war, alongwith History Legends and I think you and them must watched be together so People can Find middle ground between factual Ukrainian Biases, and Factual Russian Bias
If the US abandons Ukraine, it'll make every other democratic western nation lose some relation with the US. The US, while powerful, needs to be careful too. It's very easy to get knocked off the top of the podium. China is already knocking at that door. The Trump administration could very easily see the US drop into second place for the first time in a long time.
Ukraine is not in Nato. Though honestly Europe has not bothered seriously maintaining their defense for years so this is angreat wake up call. These open borders people are going to realise nationalism is the only way you get people to fight. No migrants will die for a foreign nation they have no loyalty to.
Arguably both sides would have lost this war. Russia is economically, militarily, and politically weakened. Ukraine will have faired somewhat better economically but its nation will he struggling for decades. Both countries also have had serious death tolls making it that much harder to recover in the long term.
Good job finally putting up some kind of up to date content. This series has been DOA for a long time because of your policy of reporting events months after they were relevant.
Hey man I love these videos as it seems to be the only reliable source of what's going on in Ukraine I think you should bring these more frequently as there is alot off stuff that's gonna happen in the next 6 months our so especially there is a crazy person in the white house
It's straight up propaganda. NK troops are in Russia most likely just for training. Just as western soldiers train in their allied nations. Examples? Germans in uk Brits in Germany Brits in usa Poles in uk Poles in usa Poles in Germany Etc......
They need more time to enter the conflict. Need to learn training for modern war probabbly by wagners and also to learn at least B1 Russian and B2 English in order to communicate. That means at least 3 months of intensive focus of mind into prepareness. Out of 10 000 i dont think more than 5000 will see frontline. But who knows. Once you have created training program for NK troops maybe couple more dozens will come next year by which program will fasten for sure. Maybe even in NK next batch of units already are learning Russian language. Btw these are profesdional soldiers almost, not merceneries or recruiters... So most focus is on learning language and then modern warfare update... Ukraine is finished by the end of next year. West is depleted with ammo and their annual productions not only cant match war needs but also is streched over Israel Taiwan and NK and Yemen...
For a special military operation that was meant to be done in less than a month and is about to reach its 3rd year, this is reaching Finland levels of Pyrrhic Victory for Russia.
@@Sizt I do. In the Russo-Ukrainian War, Russian casualties have surpassed their Winter War casualties in late 2022. They can't afford not to fight, because they can't afford having Ukraine on the map politically. Ukraine is the key to the Russian Empire as a European empire.
@@Sizt successful? They were getting their butts handed to them badly Only thing they claim from Finland was a few islands and not much else Hardly a Russian victory and more a settlement to avoid losing their army
Palestine is an area of more than 27 thousand square kilometers and is on the borders of Egypt and Jordan, which historically is part of Palestine and the people of Jordan, more than 70 percent of whom are of Palestinian origin, but Britain made them a state and brought agents to the Jordanian ruling dynasty in order to rule Jordan and protect the occupation from the Jordanian-Palestinian people Palestine Its capital, Jerusalem, is the land of the Palestinian people for tens of thousands of years. It is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it is the third holiest place for us Muslims. It is a land where most of God’s prophets lived, were born, and died. It is the holy and blessed land and the land of the Palestinian and Arab people. Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived there for thousands of years as neighbors and brothers before the Zionists occupied our land. Britain brought them in the Balfour Declaration to occupy our land. Those who committed the Holocaust against the Jews were the Germans and the West, not me.Yes, my dear brothers, my beloved Palestine is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it contains Al-Aqsa, the third holiest place for us Muslims in Palestine. Bethlehem, the cradle of Christ, is a blessed land, and it is the holy land, and it has been our land for tens of thousands of years, and it is the land of the Canaanite Arabs, the original Palestinian people, and they have lived in it since the Islamic conquest in the era. The Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman Arabs, Muslims, Christians and Jews are like brothers and neighbors under Palestinian rule to the owners of the land, but the Zionists came and the British occupation brought them to our land as compensation to the Jews for what they did to them Hitler. The question here is that who did the Holocaust, the Germans, why do I, the Palestinian Arab, pay the price? Why not Germany? Why do I, the Muslim, pay the price for crimes? Committed by the Germans and Nazi Europe, fascism is the root of all evil in the world. Our problem is the occupation القدس عربية فلسطينية إلى الأبد
I don't want to stop supporting Ukraine, but with the sheer level of fatigue with the war - both from those who are on the ground fighting it and those who are supplying it - I don't see this conflict ending in a Ukrainian victory no matter how much we may want it to. It would take Russia running out of soldiers to do that. Ukraine simply doesn't have the manpower to fight both Russia and North Korea in the long-term (as we can see here with the pressure and trepidation to lower the mobilization age), they can't outpace the increasing support of Iran, China, and India (not to mention Russia's own internal production capabilities), and with the U.S. electorate voting in both a new President and Congress partly on the basis that they can't afford groceries, I don't think most are interested in funneling more American money over there for what seems to be a cause that can't be won. You can also blame our support of Israel and growing internal strife over their displacement of Palestinians that has harmed a lot of the American populace's interest in being involved in any external war right now. The only real solution is a negotiated peace where Ukraine is able to join NATO and obtain the direct protection of the alliance to prevent any further Russian aggression. We've already seen a desire to do that with both Finland and Sweden joining NATO as well to protect their borders.
Maybe give UA more than 1 spoon of help per month? Ukraine is capable of putting out offenses still. Look at Kursk. Nobody saw that coming, yet Ukraine managed to do it with limited resources.
@sircatangry5864 Small wins doesn't mean strategic success. The Ukrainian incursion into Kursk has really done nothing for the other fronts and with the arrival of nK troops in Kursk has all but eliminated that small win.
@@sircatangry5864 WEVE GIVEN THEM OVER 150 BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF WEAPONS YET THEY CANT EVEN KEEP THERE RECURITING OFFICERS FROM ACCEPTING BRIBES FROM ANYONE WHO DOESNT WANT TO FIGHT. WHY SHOULD WE HELP SOMEONE WHO WONT HELP THEMSELVES
@@sircatangry5864 Oh, no argument there, I agree. As I see it, the problem is not equipment per se but rather manpower. Kursk was a stunning offensive that definitely buoyed morale for Ukraine, but they are already losing their gains there due to the inability to reinforce and fortify that land with fresh troops. Plus, the offensive in Kursk probably made it possible for Russia to begin advancing along the front elsewhere since the Ukrainian troops used there couldn't be allotted to hold the preexisting frontline.
@kempana9414 Same can be said about Russia. Have they reached any strategic success? Have they taken Pokrovsk? Did they cut off the Slovyansk-Konstantinovka agglomeration? Small wins signal the possibility of strategic success. If we go by book, the only strategic victory in the entire war was Ukrainian Kupyansk offensive. Kursk took attention of about 50 thousand russian troops. It is a size of force that is storming Chasiv Yar for example. Imagine what would've happened if those 50 thousand helped in the Pokrovsk direction for example. Plus the fact Russian territory is occupied complicates every negotiation where freezing the frontlines is the main idea.
Its not a case of less support for Ukraine but more of a case of a lot of their top aid suppliers have gone through elections & leadership changes like the US, UK, EU & then Nato as well
i remember watching this channel a lot but after i stopped I ve had 2 relationships and 2 situationships Graduated found a job & quit it in 6 months moved twice lost 90lbs new baby born in the family got a car on my second year in my masters and this war is still ongoing? like holy shit it feels like its been a decade and its just 2 years ? wow anyway, back to watching it
Somewhat the same but the war started a year before I went to vocational school and I'm about to graduate bc I'm in the last year and the war likely may still be ongoing after I graduate from THIS school too. Insane. Oh and congratulations, stranger.
It’s sad to say but Ukraine might collapse due to the West fatigue and the Russian are always good making comebacks just like world war 1 and world war 2 Soon or later when Ukraine falls the rest of the other countries will fall also.
You cannot look at this and tell me Ukraine can win, there only chance at victory was lost when they dragged their feet during the summer offensive. From now on the more they delay the more they will lose, there is no victory in Ukraine.
@@tuongtang8974 they have 10x the manpower 10x the ammunition, 10x the guns. This is a war of attrition Russia can take a hell of a lot more than Ukraine. Even in Kursk they are losing in mobile warfare. It is not sustainable.
@@gen.tucker6024 literally what can you point to that is going in Ukraine’s favor. Honestly the loss ratio of Ukraine to Russia has narrowed, western support to Ukraine is ending, their war productions cannot hope to compete against Russia. Even when they take land they lose it a month later look at Kursk. You look at wwi when it was static warfare and all of a sudden the line broke and the allies flooded Germany. You cannot win wars by handouts alone, you cannot win wars when you lose ground every single day, you cannot win wars when you are in a demographic crisis. Russia is in one too you know, they are nearing their swan song when they will not have enough able bodied men to fight. Russia is in decline so why not lose this battle to win the war.
Honestly I wish the metrics let you turn comments off so the bots could just not exist. but to be honest that should be googles problem... and they should do more.
I seriously doubt that Zelinsky will accept the total loss of all areas conquered by Russia, but he may at least accept giving up the Donbass region that has been in rebellion since 2014. Maybe even Crimea.
You can isolate single country but if you do it for multiple countries they will surely work together anyone with commonsense can tell that the West had it coming
@soulknife20 it's not only N. Korea but China, Russia, Iran, and now the West specially U.S are putting sanctions on India if they unite The Global West should be afraid after all enemy of enemy is a friend
@buykuibra2518 Good luck with that. Won't work. Welcome to try. North Korea doesn't have the manufacturing capabilities to make enough Nukes to overwhelm US defenses. That's just facts
@@buykuibra2518North Korea doesn't have the manufacturing capabilities to build that many missiles. They don't have the launchpads available, nor the silos to store them. They can try. Won't work
I wonder what the North Korean soldiers that get wounded and NAYBE make it back to north Korea are saying to their wives and kids about all the luxury things that they didn't even know existed and all the things they learned that Kim, after all didn't invent everything in North Korea
Russia employed workers from North Korea long before the war so there's nothing new for them. I knew some of them and they were generally just afraid to open their mouth since a wrong word could make you or your family disappear. Kim was taking half of their paycheck to keep growing his cheeks and they were damn happy he didn't take more. Commies are so vile you have no idea.
They're not. It's what is called "a token force" and is largely there more for political purposes. The entire War has over 1 million troops involved. 12K of soldiers without experience and worse equipment and training than their Russian counterparts aren't going to tip the scales

Russia could stop it tomorrow by stopping the war and going home. Putin will destroy both Ukraine and Russia for his own greed.
No, it's not pointless. Russia is liberating Ukraine from Nazis and nationalists and will not allow another NATO country to be nearby. And until Russia completes this special operation, nothing will end. And there will be no negotiations with their illegitimate “president”.
Brought to you by cowardly American, German and British leaders who did nothing while Putin tested, tested, pushed, bullied and then invaded.
Welcome to Russkiy mir
Thanks for the update
Never in my life have I seen a more biased "documentary" about war that is pro-USA-NATO-UKRAINE who generated this conflict. Shame on you coward, you were supposed to be neutral, yet you ask donations on patreon for supporting your biased content. Russia defends itself against NATO !!!!
Russia made a push on Kiev, if they had succeeded do we think they would've settled merely for the eastern oblasts? Any peace deal based on current positions is appeasement and Russia will be demanding historic claims in five years.
If wars of expansion are illegal, except if you hold the land and deal with some sanctions for a few years, then they aren't illegal, they are just expensive.
Must be really easy to type this when the entire young generation of your country hasn't been completely wiped out in war.
@@CopiumFactory On both sides. Russia have bled themselves dry as they take town after town, and the Ukrainians have been bled dry as they try to hold on. The casualty numbers are horrific.
@@CopiumFactory What do you mean? The Ukrainians are not the ones complaining. It is the West and only the West and Russia for now that wish to end this war, solely because the Americans are so incredibly stupid that they vote for a criminal conspiracy theorist that will willingly throw all their allies under the bus. You make it sound like the Ukrainians want peace and we are forcing them to continue fighting. But the Ukrainians realise there is no future for them if Russia steals their land, and it is EXACTLY like AHeresheyHare says, and clear now to every dictator around the world that borders are not real, anyone, any people with the money, guns and willingness to suffer and die on mass can move any border at any time. Wars of expansion are not illegal anymore because there is no international law, because there is nobody that will enforce it.
Pax Americana is dead
Welcome on how history hasworked forever. The Russian state is just to big to care for expensive wars. Without a world war, making everything expensive for an attacking nation is the only thing one can do. And this only applies on small nations.
Russia has always used peace deals just to buy time. Look at their disastrous retreat from Warsaw in the Polish Soviet war, the Bolsheviks were saved by western leaders forcing Poland into peace.

Lol I was waiting for this!
Finally what I've been waiting on.
The video is informative but the Russian casualties should be taken with a pinch of salt because Russia is not fighting those Bakhmut, Avdiivka style gruelling urban battles anymore They are not attacking big towns and cities head on instead they are flanking them from sides to force Ukrainians to abandon their positions and retreat like they did in Selydove. After previously attacking with tanks head on towards Vuhledar and taking huge casualties Russians this time flanked Vuhledar which forced 72nd Brigade to retreat to avoid being encircled. Russian have changed their tactics by not attacking in huge armoured columns but instead are attacking in small groups of 10 man on bikes or on foot which has dramatically reduced Russian casualties. Independent neutral sources have indicated Russian casualties to be as high as 250,000 not more then that. Its best to hear from Ukrainian soldiers on the frontlines rather then thier generals who are mostly playing politics and PR attacks rather then proper war planning. Ukrainian soldiers have admitted that russians are now attacking them in small teams which has made it harder for them to target Russians. Russia now barely uses its armoured cars and only uses them to transport soldiers rather then to attack and has mostly stopped its tanks attacks also
While you make very good points for how the "fog of war" works, I really don't buy that Russian casualties have "dramatically reduced" at the exact same time they are estimated to be the highest per day basically ever. Two new fronts have opened up since the spring, Ukraine remains on an advantageous defensive in both, and Russia is going HARD on an offensive in Donbas right now. The casualties are probably not being lied about, they are just high for slightly different reasons than before.

True, but South Africa is still the dominant power in the region even without nukes.
@@johnstuart4914honestly it was probably the right call for them. The apartheid governments, despite not being ethically or morally sound, were stable, while the transition to black leadership had the possibility of being very unstable, or even for internal conflicts to arise, and you absolutely do not want nukes floating around in that type of environment.
Canada never had nukes, its a bit of a dumb statement. Ukraine was always going to get invaded regardless of nukes, nobody wants to launch a nuke, it would be global suicide as everyone would instantly declare war on you, and worst case we are all dead anyways. There is no reason to waste resources on nuclear arsenal that will never rival Russia or America. It does not give you an edge, if Ukraine had a nuclear weapon, what could they even do? Russia is massive and they cant nuke all of Russia, but Russia can nuke all of Ukraine ten times over. So its a dumb statement that some nukes for Ukraine would some how prevented this.

So has Ukraine decided to decrease the draft age to 18 yet? 25-55 or whatever it is, isn't enough anymore. They need the manpower.

With their demographic issues, losing the men between 18 and 25 would be a catastrophic blow in the long term.
The Ukrainian government doesn' t have the luxury of thinking only in the short term. It has to consider the post-war situation too.
Shows you don’t understand Ukrainian demographics. They’d buy themselves maybe 6-9 months but demographically doom their people into extinction.
@@JulianLopez-rt6kp it's women not men that limit demographics
According to Demographics of Ukraine there's roughly 9.6 million Men in Ukraine between the Ages of 25-54 and 2.5 Million men between the ages of 15-25. So i think the downsides of lowering the drafting age outweigh the Benefits
They could have drafted women at the beginning of the conflict, but they chose not to and missed an opportunity. Drafting them now would look desperate

It's straight up propaganda. NK troops are in Russia most likely just for training. Just as western soldiers train in their allied nations.
Examples?
Germans in uk
Brits in Germany
Brits in usa
Poles in uk
Poles in usa
Poles in Germany
Etc......
They need more time to enter the conflict. Need to learn training for modern war probabbly by wagners and also to learn at least B1 Russian and B2 English in order to communicate. That means at least 3 months of intensive focus of mind into prepareness. Out of 10 000 i dont think more than 5000 will see frontline. But who knows. Once you have created training program for NK troops maybe couple more dozens will come next year by which program will fasten for sure. Maybe even in NK next batch of units already are learning Russian language. Btw these are profesdional soldiers almost, not merceneries or recruiters... So most focus is on learning language and then modern warfare update... Ukraine is finished by the end of next year. West is depleted with ammo and their annual productions not only cant match war needs but also is streched over Israel Taiwan and NK and Yemen...

The Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman Arabs, Muslims, Christians and Jews are like brothers and neighbors under Palestinian rule to the owners of the land, but the Zionists came and the British occupation brought them to our land as compensation to the Jews for what they did to them Hitler. The question here is that who did the Holocaust, the Germans, why do I, the Palestinian Arab, pay the price? Why not Germany? Why do I, the Muslim, pay the price for crimes?

God doesn't exist and religion is moronic BS.
I don't want to stop supporting Ukraine, but with the sheer level of fatigue with the war - both from those who are on the ground fighting it and those who are supplying it - I don't see this conflict ending in a Ukrainian victory no matter how much we may want it to. It would take Russia running out of soldiers to do that.
Ukraine simply doesn't have the manpower to fight both Russia and North Korea in the long-term (as we can see here with the pressure and trepidation to lower the mobilization age), they can't outpace the increasing support of Iran, China, and India (not to mention Russia's own internal production capabilities), and with the U.S. electorate voting in both a new President and Congress partly on the basis that they can't afford groceries, I don't think most are interested in funneling more American money over there for what seems to be a cause that can't be won. You can also blame our support of Israel and growing internal strife over their displacement of Palestinians that has harmed a lot of the American populace's interest in being involved in any external war right now.
The only real solution is a negotiated peace where Ukraine is able to join NATO and obtain the direct protection of the alliance to prevent any further Russian aggression. We've already seen a desire to do that with both Finland and Sweden joining NATO as well to protect their borders.
Maybe give UA more than 1 spoon of help per month?
Ukraine is capable of putting out offenses still. Look at Kursk. Nobody saw that coming, yet Ukraine managed to do it with limited resources.
@sircatangry5864 Small wins doesn't mean strategic success. The Ukrainian incursion into Kursk has really done nothing for the other fronts and with the arrival of nK troops in Kursk has all but eliminated that small win.
@@sircatangry5864 WEVE GIVEN THEM OVER 150 BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF WEAPONS YET THEY CANT EVEN KEEP THERE RECURITING OFFICERS FROM ACCEPTING BRIBES FROM ANYONE WHO DOESNT WANT TO FIGHT. WHY SHOULD WE HELP SOMEONE WHO WONT HELP THEMSELVES
@@sircatangry5864 Oh, no argument there, I agree.
As I see it, the problem is not equipment per se but rather manpower. Kursk was a stunning offensive that definitely buoyed morale for Ukraine, but they are already losing their gains there due to the inability to reinforce and fortify that land with fresh troops.
Plus, the offensive in Kursk probably made it possible for Russia to begin advancing along the front elsewhere since the Ukrainian troops used there couldn't be allotted to hold the preexisting frontline.
@kempana9414 Same can be said about Russia. Have they reached any strategic success? Have they taken Pokrovsk? Did they cut off the Slovyansk-Konstantinovka agglomeration?
Small wins signal the possibility of strategic success. If we go by book, the only strategic victory in the entire war was Ukrainian Kupyansk offensive.
Kursk took attention of about 50 thousand russian troops. It is a size of force that is storming Chasiv Yar for example. Imagine what would've happened if those 50 thousand helped in the Pokrovsk direction for example.
Plus the fact Russian territory is occupied complicates every negotiation where freezing the frontlines is the main idea.
Its not a case of less support for Ukraine but more of a case of a lot of their top aid suppliers have gone through elections & leadership changes like the US, UK, EU & then Nato as well

@@buykuibra2518North Korea doesn't have the manufacturing capabilities to build that many missiles. They don't have the launchpads available, nor the silos to store them. They can try. Won't work
They called me peace fan boy ,they told me I am overestimatingcthe russians ,when all I cared for preservation of human life .
I’ll be so happy when we stop pouring money into this. Could be going to feed the poor in my own country or take care of veterans in my own country.
I wonder what the North Korean soldiers that get wounded and NAYBE make it back to north Korea are saying to their wives and kids about all the luxury things that they didn't even know existed and all the things they learned that Kim, after all didn't invent everything in North Korea
Russia employed workers from North Korea long before the war so there's nothing new for them. I knew some of them and they were generally just afraid to open their mouth since a wrong word could make you or your family disappear. Kim was taking half of their paycheck to keep growing his cheeks and they were damn happy he didn't take more. Commies are so vile you have no idea.
Indian map is wrong. Kashmir part of India not Pakistan.
12k North Korean troops don’t really seem like a number that’ll give Russia a huge advantage or am I wrong ?
You're wrong
You are right it's mostly for the benefits and we all know it's North Korea it's ruled slightly better than Afghanistan lol
@@cyber8000 why am I wrong ? Explain ?
They're not. It's what is called "a token force" and is largely there more for political purposes.
The entire War has over 1 million troops involved. 12K of soldiers without experience and worse equipment and training than their Russian counterparts aren't going to tip the scales
