Shame on the west though !!!!!
Ah yes, the murderous raa pey West that does not recognise national borders, ah no. Sorry, I mean Russia.
There’s nothing more to be done other than giving supplies, we the west have no soldiers to send, our young are soft entitled embarrassments so conscription is impossible. Plus Europe has been given away to Islam and is infested with parasites. Don’t think us some powerhouse the west is a paper tiger even America can only mobilise through false flags, the avarage western man would never sign up to fight and certainly wouldn’t fight while the immigrants get treated better than our veterans and elderly. The west is broken and pathetic, import the third world become the third world.
shame on the West for helping the Nazis in Kiev
I am quite sure that if the USA withdraws from NATO, it is the American arms industry that will lose the most. There are so many good alternatives with European ownership rights that are currently produced under license in the USA. If we cannot trust the US as an ally, these agreements will most likely be terminated. In addition, European weapon systems will be reduced. Thus releasing large sums for the build-up, development and production of European weapon systems.
Congress has passed laws that make it incredible difficult for Trump or any other president to leave NATO. They were passed in case Trump tries to do that.
European manufactures must obtain more investment, technologies and skilled labor to do as you suggest without delay. They must be self sufficient without dependencies on US.

@@haakonsteinsvaag Possibly so, but Europe should seriously prepare for this option

Chump, MTraitorG and Johnson, have a lot to answer for.
We heard.
I think Johnson would have already passed a standalone Ukraine bill if MTG were not holding the GOP hostage with the threat to vacate.
We laugh at RU deploying T55's, but if you ony have small arms ammo and extremely limited anti tank / artillery to counter, you are still going to have to withdraw in the face of them.
Very Excellent INFO , Thank You !!!
Don't let this man weaken how strong you really are together 😊
I suspect this offensive will be Russia's last big push. I doubt they can keep this up for more than another year. If Ukraine can bend but not break this spring/summer, I think Russia is done.
I'd hope but I wouldn't bet on it
That's what people said in 2022, and .... 2023😂😂😂😂
@@Joekd6.1 What people? Got a link and a timestamp?
Hope you are right.
So that is your wild hope. ' If Ukraine can bend but not break this spring/summer, I think Russia is done.'
The Nazis in Berlin also thought Stalingrad was Germany's last defeat and they could stave off the Red Army from visiting Berlin. they did not want to believe they were defeated and the bear will come and devour them.
Very good talk. I was suspicious about the early victory trumpets.
History shows can not beat Russian
Slava Ukraine💛💙

General Sherreff often underestimates Ukrainian resilience and strength and often overestimates Russian 'successes!'
'General Sherreff often underestimates Ukrainian resilience and strength and often overestimates Russian 'successes!'
Resilience was in the past. Now the Ukrainians do not have manpower, the Russians killed of their army, and will not let them rebuild, and what survives do not have ammo.
@@johnadam2885 LOL. Silly concern troll.
It sounds like that at first, but really all he's saying is "be prepared for the worst case scenario", which one should always do. Noone can be too well prepared, but easily be too little prepared.

Richard is out-to-lunch.
That's why even if the west and some parts of europe may hate putin ..Ukraine is who paying a heavy price so negotiation is the way out not war
Pushing him back? He hasn't advanced measurably since he was pushed back after the initial invasion.
The numbers given the answer about this war and the impossibility Russia to win, in a conventional war of course.
First number the front line have at least 1000 km, it means that if you theoretical put a man aligned to control 4m it gives about 250 000 men, and if you want a tank for witch 1km aligned controled you must have about 1000 tanks, thats how you get for the numbers minimum to hold uniform standing front lines, of course in practice you don't aligned but it will gave an idea of the minimum manpower and mecanized brigade do it.
When you don't have this numbers, generally use the artillery, and that the key point for the Russians, they don't have this numbers but if they use artillery with maximum 70km range they only need about 15 bateries, but they have more.
The artillery is only effective if we have areal support and the enemy don't have none.
So if you analise the Russian modus operandi in this war can see that the Russians are pushing for the part they have advantage in the battle field for winning, artillery.
For that in the first 6 month of the invasion they vanished the Ukrainian air force capability.
So the first measure for Ukraine win the war is inactive the Russian artillery and the logistic supply, only with that they can advance and retaking the occupied territory.
For do it they need an effective air force, for this specific task its needing only 5 fighters in continus air activity for 24h, with the rotation complete need 10 fighters in total to break all the Russian artillery now in the field.
Than more 5 focus in the cutting logistic supply came from the Russian border, so in the total the Ukrainian air force need 15 to 20 fights minimum with capability at least 4G or 4G+.
When the Ukrainians get this two main objectives that the real sign the war is over for Russia conventionally speaking.
Again, agree with general 100%. But even with funding, logistics must be in place to rapidly distribute munitions, missiles, and supplies to the UA.
With deep respect to European nations, they should not assume U.S. or any Nation will commit regardless of Article 5 so increasing budgets, manpower and the necessary production to maintain & will a long term war with Russia which will last a considerable time. U.S. and NATO can defeat Russia with conventional forces and drive them back but how much territory is NATO willing to give up at what costs? How many casualties both military & civilian.
Russia will only cease operations if they are beaten back with incredible and non sustaining loses.
Then the threats of Nuclear will need to be considered.
But we cannot allow Russia to bully US and NATO nor UKRAINE.
Insightful questions, james. Great preparation, as usual.
Russia fighting 32 countries alone its not only ukrane ..
what if ukraine lost and russia occupaite whole ukraine,what you doing after ?if putin is on border of polen or nato ?If you sacrifice Ukraine like this, who will trust you anymore?
Didn't the West say Kyiv had to do the counter to get more funding?
No.

´How Ukrainian forces will respond to Russia’s spring offensive´
Answer: they won´t because they can´t.
_Next!_
Ukraine has already lost the conflict. The extra billions will not make any difference.
These armchair generals are brilliant.
Unlike a motley crew of opinionated paid 2 post thirdies and russians.
Saying that, are you looking at a mirror?
@@larsrons7937 I am only a captain, sir. 🫡
You misspelled chickenhawks.
According to the "experts" Russia ran out of ammo last year.
North Korea hasn't.
@@gerryhouska2859 I like to go back and watch what the media reported about Russia and Ukraine before 2022 and then look at what all the same media says now, becuase either our own media are all working for Putin and spreading Russian disinfo, or they're all simply propaganda outlets for the other side.
Your right Ukraine sent them some right on the kisser 😅😂
They have already reacted in such a way that their heels sparkled.
Did Russia announce a spring offensive ? It is normally Ukraine that announces it.
Well the Russian winter offensive went out with a fizzle.
@@pjhgerlach Russia did not not announce any winter offensive. All I know is Zelensky is begging for air defences, and saying if he does not get it quickly, he will have to retreat and Ukraine will fall. Did Russia do anything in winter to make him say that ? You might like to engage your brain if you have one.
Shame on Donald Putin
Stop begging the Americans
It’s humiliating to Great Britain
@@VLADDD-THE-SANCTIONS-IMPALER as a non british, yes it is humiliating. But dimplomacy should go on, perhaps Trump for his own reason change his attitude. Which i doubt by the way

Those two words are like opposite: “Push out Putin”….”Should I put in or push out?!?” 🤔

Nothing as foolish as all-or-nothing generalizations. And where do you get off thinking you know just what millions of Americans believe?
As much as many would love the defeat of Russia, the total collapse of Russia's military-industrial complex would undermine equivalent industries in the west. If that same scenario spread to China, why would America needs a General Dynamics or Lockheed Martin? War industries only thrive with a worthy and credible adversary. As Defense Secretary Austin pleads with Ukraine not to destroy Russian oil and refinery assets, there are those in the west who would benefit from excess crude in the marketplace despite the fact it being pumped and sold by an adversary. Political loyalties and ideological beliefs have no place when profits are concerned. Just ask the Swiss how they benefitted by cooperating with Berlin and Washington during WW2.
Russia got 8 million army
No they don't, Raju "Jeffrey". Check your grammar btw.
You mean they have 8 million minorities to send as canon fodder.
You mean livestock for meat waves.
You mean Russian minorities.
@@rmdomainer9042 Yes they don't but you forget they have 2 million reserve personnel soldiers and 1.3 active personnel,not to forget that they have been sending prisoners as their soldiers to Ukraine. The point is that the Russian army is too strong and powerful..Ukraine called up on its reserved personnel just think what will happen if Russia went full force with 3.2 million soldiers
With all the lying going on it makes me think who is actually telling the truth.
Where's your messiah now?
I don't know about "upcoming" - the Russian offensive seems pretty continuous at the moment and a dramatically weakened Ukraine seems to be very much on the back foot.
It really is time to talk peace. The more ground the Russians gain the more concessions they will ask for at the conference table.
Relax, shells and F-16s coming in June its only this spring that is a concern. Ukraine is low on shells now but they are outperforming Russia in successful drone strikes, which are far more accurate. They're holding the line.
The material losses of the Russians of the past few months are among the highest of the war so far.
Russia lost 600 vehicles before they took Avdiivka. That is not sustainable for Russia.
@@teddypicker8799 They're not, I'm afraid. Drones are changing the whole shape of warfare but they are mere pinpricks when compared to an inexorable armoured advance.
I don't think Ukraine stands much of a chance, quite frankly - and furthermore I don't see the point of continuing anyway. Putin will be as pleased as anyone to pack it in and will probably settle for something close to the deal he asked for before this madness began.
And half a million or so will have died to no purpose. Ah well.
@@Deathadder90 It's quite sustainable. Russia still has large stocks of vehicles of all kinds. They don't throw anything away, as we do.
Puh.... The Russians don't look strong. It is only the Ukrainians who are short on ammunition. Russian national fund is bleeding badly and their troops are suffering heavy losses. Ukraine needs to build up units and not defend every bid of territory.
since 2022 ukraine given $200billion and lost 765 000 troops apart from those thousands gravily injured with no limbs for example and now if Russia conduct the real counteroffensive the world is afraid that ukraine will lose more than a million this time around with now a mere $60billion.
Russian real counter offensive.?. Puh get real
You have no evidence to support your ridiculous 765k claim.
