If there is a Pacific version of NATO, I hope they really try to make the acronym P.O.T.A.T.O.
😂😂😂
Is that a yogscast reference?
What does the acronym stand for?
@@arvintyree1109Pacific Ocean Trade Alliance & Treaty Organization
yes
Simon is going hard with the Sudan content recently and I'm all for it.
I don't know, it feels kind of Suden
"slow clap"@@GrandDukeMushroom
@@GrandDukeMushroom Should it have come sooner, like...sudanly, last summer?
@@guyfromaucklandnz same here. I remember when george w bush's main foreign objective was Sudan. I wish we talked about Sudan as much as we did in the early 2000s
It needs to be spoken on. With so many other conflicts going on around the world places like Sudan get swept under the rug, even though it’s probably the biggest conflict happening. Smh
0:00 - Chapter 1 - Why is the UAE fuelling Sudan catastrophic conflict ?
11:30 - Chapter 2 - Japan & south korea's new détente
25:25 - Chapter 3 - Will justice finally catch up with libera war criminals ?
34:00 - Chapter 4 - Quicks hits of the week
42:50 - Chapter 5 - Myanmar
the most underappreciated post
thanks
Simon said "Genral butt naked" with the most serious tone ever, god knows how many takes it took.
General butt naked's story is horrifying so it probably wasn't too many takes
@@tracym8952 This was my thought. Simon is probably too angry about it to laugh.
Wait til you find out not everyone has the mindset of a child especially when that name is linked to horrendous acts
@@kingtachalla6181 "humor is not an escape from horror but a tool to deal with it"
Probably 1. It’s not funny at all when you’ve seen the name before and know the horrible stuff he was doing. We aren’t all 12
I'm currently in Chad. UAE has built another hospital West of Abeche too.
So generous!
Kalashnikov Hospital
How is Stacy?
Interesting.
@@HappyGronkel more weapons baty
The Situation Room has become one of my weekly must watches. Great detail guys, keep it up.
27:37 I know the topic is serious, but I couldn’t help but think of the covenant ship when he said “truth and reconciliation”
Same here
Playing whack a mole with the houthis 😂
I completely forgot General Butt Naked existed
This channel has become my main source of current events. I love that you stick to straight facts. It's really refreshing and helpful.
Same bud
An Asian NATO.
Ironic that a Japanese - Philippine defence agreement was announced after this video went to press.
Maybe an ASIAN NATO is materialising - only bigger that imagined.
Another way to milk money from the American people
Maybe
Hopefully, because the next 10 years of history that’s about to be wrote has the ability to be one of the most brutal in our history. Russia, china, north Korea and Iran aren’t going anywhere the rest of us need to be ready
Is the result of communist oppression pushing against those borders. Humans don't like being backed into a corner.
We dont need those two patrolling our beloved north atlantic, they should focus on their own bit of the atlantic.
"general butt naked" is the wildest name heard on this channel ☠☠
But not the tamest. Joshua Blahyi aka General Butt Naked is a certified warlord.
He had a ritual in which a child was to be sacrificed in every battle he has.
There a Vice document on him I think it’s wild
Lol
When your born coloured camoflauge
@@circleancopan7748 He has since started wearing clothes and preaching peace.
Wait I didn't notice that, whats the time stamp 😂
Ah just on time for my nightly war video
"INTRO TEXT/AD PLUG" someone forgot to delete the template text lmao
I mean being thorough was never their strong suit they've been going downhill further lately. I suppose that happens when you have 10 ish channels putting out content. Similar thing happened to LTT but at least they started doing something about it..
@@Atomy111noticed that . Spread thinnnnn
@@Atomy111oh dear god! They left default text in the video for a few seconds! The channel’s ruined!
Could you just 𝗌𝗁𝗎𝗍 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝖿𝗎𝖼𝗄 𝗎𝗉 𝗂𝗇𝗌𝗍𝖾𝖺𝖽？
someone forgot to take off their bed shirt... He looks like that family guy Sam Adams bit where he's needs a Sam Adams to get rid of the taste of alcohol and hooker spit.
@@Atomy111this is why i just listen to it like a podcast lol
I really appreciate how you typically state when a quote starts and ends. Stellar way to approach the reporting.
Where are all the protests against this war
cause just like always the west always ignores africa until they need resources lol
I'm protesting by proxy.
@@erincurrie1560 for the west to intervene inevitably means boots on the ground and there’s very little political will for such an action
Funny how the world fixates on some conflicts and utterly ignores others.
@@lizardtattoo1 Actually, it isn't. Civil wars are different than the other current conflicts that have received tons of attention. Those other conflicts are ones between two separate countries and peoples. They are much more black and white with fewer shades of grey. Civil wars are, by nature, much more nuanced. The only way to actually stop them is by putting boots on the ground and even then, it usually ends badly for the country that intervenes. Just ask the US how well their interventions into both Vietnam and Iraq went. The vast majority of the chaos in the American occupation of Iraq was the result of a sectarian Civil War between Shi'ite and Sunni militias with the US caught in the middle.
11:27 okay, that was actually a fairly amazing transition with the pins. Nice
Insomnia works well with Simon
He looks like he was at a chemsex party all night and just threw on a jacket.
Thanks for all the hard work!!
never miss an episode. Relevant, unique, hard hitting and well researched.
I pray for the civilians in this war and hope it does not turn out to be another Yemen 2.0. Where almost 300-500k were killed due to such a terrible conflict that was funded by UAE/Saudis with most of them being children starving to death. Thank you Simon for telling us about such terrible conflict when such little coverage exists
Because subconsciously we not only expect this from both camps, we know they do this. Remember the crusades? Yeah. They're still mad. Remember when europeans carved up african borders and told all indigenous tribes to get along?
History leaves a pattern. Those of thicker constitution choose not to cherry pick and instead understand the truth of the matter; its a dog eat dog world and we are the beast of man.
H e s n o b e t t e r t h a n u a e. A n e x p l o i t e r o f t h e g r i m a n d e v i l.
UAE/Saudis funding one side and Iran/Russia funding the other. No one left there to represent the people who are suffering.
@lucamckenn5932 you're literally a nut job who's rambling about nothing. Why are you mentiogn the crusades when that is such an irrelevant historical thing to this topic ? I just care about terrible global wars and people dying and you're hearing saying he's a snake when he's very unbiased and is saying facts
No Jews, No News
It's crazy how few people know about the conflict in Sudan
Unfortunately its the age old tale of black on black conflict not getting air time in the eastern or western world
@@destroyn8rr342 While that does exist, that might not be why this conflict isn't covered. The UAE has been increasing its funding of western media companies, replacing the funding of traditional advertisers. As a shareholder, the UAE has a say on what the company spends its money investigating.
The effect is that the western attention has been exhausted covering the Ukraine war, Israel-Palestine, and three elections (American, British, and a surprise French).
Hey Simon small correction some turtle tanks are able to shoot and turn their turret a few angles. The one that was captured was an especially old one used as a troop transport. While we are yet to find out about the rest of the tanks if anything’s this war had taught us there are very few uniform things in the russian army
I really love the background ambient music. It's really good I think and compliments the subject matter on this channel.
Sometimes I get a strong feeling that Simon isn’t wearing pants in these recordings.
Wasn't expecting this to drop at this time of night, but it's a pleasant surprise
It’s disgusting how no one was ever punished for the war crimes in Liberia.
The boys always look after the boys
Thanks to Simon and the team for continuing to shine a light on this.
Love your videos. Idk if it's just me but the max volume often seems much quieter than other channels
Pretty wild with soo much Israel-gaza reporting and literally zilch on Sudan and Yemen
It’s cause the west isn’t involved so there’s no white countries for them to get mad at.
If there’s no westerners to blame the global media isn’t interested.
The UAE is literally homelander and everyone in the mideleast knows it
"omg muh country just like muh hecking TV show " you ppl are so cringe and corny, can you look at the world without the lens of consumerism
As opposed to america being a homelander. UAE is just raising their own.
@@mehedi1178 America is vought, UAE and Saudi arabia are homelander.
Blame America and also beg money from them.. New trend in middle east
Please fix the audio quality on the war room videos. The high end is way too sharp. Too much sibilance and not enough low and mid frequencies
Man, hearing about these atrocities is sad and eye-opening.
Even more gut wrenching when you understand the numbers likely higher than Gaza and Ukraine wars combined especially when so many are uncounted.
Incredible video as always. Love all the work your folks do at Waro. However, the S sound in the video is peaking your (I'm assuming) lavalier mic. Could your editor cut either normalize peaks if boosting the audio or cut peaks at a lower db range? You can really hear it at 42:48.
Appreciate it!
I would very much prefer to see consistency between the channels; audio, video filters, microphones and settings uniform between all videos
Constructive criticism; I love the channels and the content, thanks for all who make it happen :)
Hi Simon
The mass protests about Gaza when Sudan is an absolute conflagration...
Can't blame the Jews for Sudan.
Because Biden had the power to stop the genocide in Gaza. The US isn’t involved in Sudan so what do you want them to do about it?
@matthewc3135 I would have expected them to at least try
@@dorshushan232 I mean, I'm surprised they haven't tried as well
Sudan is a civil war and both sides are under international sanctions.
Whereas people are protesting their democratically elected govts funding and arming a genocidal nation that's waging war against another.
The DPRK quote is probably the most hilariously hypocritical statement from the regime I've ever seen in my life
Love your content, but its hard to watch with that audio. I do hope you could fix this issue that others may see as inconsequential, but it does affect some people in a meaningful way, and your channel delivers quality content that deserves to be well viewed by everyone. May the audio also be of top quality to bring even more fortune. Kindly, from a humble viewer.
Next 46 mins of my working day lost, thanks Simon 🤦♂️😂
Can you use that high quality microphone that you use for your other channels please? 🎤😇
The motorcycle charge has another effect exposing positions themselves for airstrike
20:28 hey, it's Salt Lake City!
That’s the city I live in the suburbs of lol.
that's some messed up stuff. treating human life as cheap as this is crazy
Thank you
Thanks
There actually was a previous attempt at an Asian version of NATO: the South East Asian Treaty Organization, or SEATO.
lol North Korea talking about Japan flexing muscle after North Korea has been launching missiles over Japan
Damn ... 11 minutes and im like 100th haha.
Good work Simon!
I've watched a huge number of videos and documentaries on youtube. But i have to wonder why war docs captivate and interest me so much... food for thought.
We need to get you some new, white, t-shirts, Simon....
The turtle tanks are stripped and loaded with drone jamming gear. Theyre very much serving a purpose
Thats a flat out lie. All turtle tanks that have been captured and stripped bare domt hsve any sort of EW components. They are after armored to make the crew feel safer. There are multiple sources on this including ISW, and even Russian thinktanks
@@KenM_1987 If you google "Turtle Tank Jamming" you can find reporting supporting it, so *I'm* not lying. It does appear that all the sourcing points back to David Axe at Forbes, and he doesn't seem to have a pro-russian slant in the a quick skim of his articles. If he's wrong and you have a source reporting/refuting it, please share.
@@KenM_1987 Also ISW's 17.Apr Campaign Assessment also reports images of DNR AC's 5th Motorized Rifle Brigade soldiers fitting turtle tanks with "large metal anti-drone armor plating *and electronic warfare (EW) jamming system* operating near Krasnohorivka, Donetsk Oblast."
So small that NZ does not get a mention in 5eyes. 😂
I love listening to Simon Constable
A neighbor of mine - one of several that I've known is acutely aware of the evolving catastrophe that is Butma.. May they, one day, be free of their chains, to live their lives - in Peace.
What are the odds that more than a handful of people protest for peace and ceasefire in Sudan? It’s very telling what people choose to care about and why
What's up Simon!!
If the "Asian NATO" were actually formed it'd also include the Philippines & Australia without question, besides the US, Japan & South Korea. And there's a good probability that countries like New Zealand, Papua New Guinea & some other smaller island countries would be invited to join as well. Personally if I was living in one of those countries I'd wanna be in a defensive alliance to help protect against North Korean or Chinese aggression
I think they’re plenty of room for reproachment, I think you meant there’s little room for rapprochement
Sitting here in NZ looking at the Asia Pacific shenanigans and wondering about the cost of building a bunker 🙃
Well Collinfurze and Jerry Rig Everything both have build vlogs of their bunker builds for inspiration.
There's a lot that goes into building one. But given you're in New Zealand, I'd just go to Hobbiton for inspiration.
Description sure is looking filled out...
The motorcycle thing are literally bf4 tactics
40:33 Hey wait. I've seen this one.
I guess the new mad max movie was watched by the russian military command. And they got inspired.
Could you turn his voice up a bit. On the phone speakers he is just beat boxing
Myanmar Civil War updates:
1) Rakhine State: Arakha Army still clashing in Maungdaw. New clashes in Taungup and Thandwe, and the capture of Thandwe Airport of AA.
2) Chinland: Chin National Army and Chin Brotherhood Alliance captured separate territories, despite infighting. Still besieging Tedim and ZRA allied with SAC still holding to their last territory.
3) Northern Shan State: Operation 1027 in that front restarted. The Three Brotherhood Alliance captured some areas like Nawngkio and Kyaukme, closing in in Lashio and Mogok.
4) Karen: The Aung Zeya operation of SAC still stalled.
5) Southern state: Mon and Karen rebels still holding on while the SAC sends troops trying to clear the way from Dawei to the southern parts.
6) Dry Zone: Still clashes between SAC and PDFs still ongoing.
7) Kachin: KIO and their armed forces captured Sadon. Despite appearances of NDA-K and the Indian insurgent groups nearby, they still capture territories from SAC, with Waingmaw, Hpakant, Bhamo, and Myitkyina still under clashes.
8) Kayah State: Karenni rebel groups still clashing with SAC in Loikaw and other towns. The government assault stalled nearby.
9) Southern Shan State: PNA and PNLA still on their throats.
Cmon now 💀 General Butt Naked 😭
Please can you upload to a podcast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bro i love you but man what happened to the harsh ess sounds? Its so distracting.
Bet it was a bit hard deciding to put this into Warographics or Into The Shadows.
On this occasion I found the music to be too loud and somewhat distracting
I got road head to this video😂 was kind of weird
21:40 So Taiwan is next?
The korean Pennington 😂would be fun too to Golf in..
It's always the colonels.
Japan, SK, Philippines, Taiwan, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and India should make a NATO-like defense alliance, regardless of the US.
That new Russian tactic is something straight out of Mad Max. If this happened in a movie/novel I was reading, I’d scoff for how unrealistic that sounds. Mental how wild reality is even compared to fiction
It goes as well as you'd imagine unfortunately. Some attacks have been successful with overwhelming numbers (and horrendous casualties). But there's also plenty of drone footage of bikes being annihilated by machine gun fire.
There's a reason why cavalry charges on fortified positions are obsolete.
0:39 Camel Race
We officially have Camel Jockeys
We really need a GDI (Global Defense Initiative), NOD or no NOD in real life. Kane lives!
Keep us simple starfishes updated...
I don't get it how this can remain 'business-friendly' for UAE
Fighters on motorcycles? That is straight out of PUBG..
South Korea and Japan can also count in The Philippines and Taiwan. Also perhaps Vietnam. As well as almost every naval country in Nato.
Where is your hiss filter?!?
I firmly believe in the idea of not just forming a Asia Pacific version of NATO, but incorporating it with its North Atlantic counterpart and perhaps even expanding it to a system similar in concept to the Global Defence Initiative from Command and Conquer. A alliance of western aligned nations to counter the threat from countries like Russia and China!
What's up with your mic
whats up with his shirt... it looks like a bed shirt.
Dude, Russia seems desperate as hell. Custom turtle tanks and roving biker squads? This isn't fucking Mad Max!
It's the cheap Russian version, Crazy Comrades.
Insane Ivan...
It looks like an A7V (German ww1 tank).
Its WW1, that's what it is. Massed Infantry attacks into machine gun fire? Contested airspace? bizarre armored vehicles? Artillery shell count analysis?
That's WW1.
Does the UAE still control Soccotra?
Yes
So the Russians have discovered the kill dozer and decided to buy it off wish 38:16
With Russia aiding the RSF via Wagner, they'd be sure to veto any UNSC decision to do anything about the UAE doing the same.
This is entertaining
It shouldn't be considered factual news as is always two sides to every story and lots of propaganda, but it is great to fall asleep to as Simon had a very soothing voice
26:34 General who?
30:59 ....how's that Prince song go? "CONTROVERSY" not by a Brit it isn't😅
Stress tf outta that second syllable Simon!😂
Everyone and their mothers have piled into this conflict 🤦
sound is quiet.
And*
I wont lie, the cheerful music that you sometimes put while talking about very grim facts takes attention away
Mayanmar junta taking a page out of the Nixon Shock approach to stabilizing the economy...?
Africa is seemingly always on fire.
Imma be honest, for a few minutes I was hearing UAE and thinking of Saudi Arabia, my bad
