"Russia advances despite heavy losses" could sum up almost any Russian war.
@@Better_Clean_Than_GreenI was just playing that yesterday XD
The strategy games didn't lie did they
Where did you get that? Are any Russians surrendering or asking the US for help? lol
It reminds THE LEGENDARY BATTLE OF STALINGRAD 💀
@@gdiwolverinemale4thWW2 history for a start
Never thought about the disability registry in Russia as a good measure of Russian casualties, that’s insane numbers.
Not the ideal way to count the casualties, but can work as an indicator.
@@NachttiSchlampE65 according to Mediazona, they are only able to find around 50-60% of all obituaries, so again, even their method is not perfect.
I think the constant characterisation of Russian losses as 'Heavy' has skewed peoples perspective on what's possible.
The Russian losses are sustainable for several years, and currently being traded for visible progress. That's concerning.
It's the consequences for Russia down the road. Their overall population is far and away not a healthy one, especially at the rate it is aging. Despite their noticeable adaptations, having to trade thousands of personnel and hundreds of pieces of equipment for each city with pre war populations of 70,000 or less and barely a few km of ground will have serious ramifications for their future warfighting capability.
Ukraine has a much worse problem. Not only their population is ageing, too many people left and are still leaving Ukraine
@@johnrr8854 except Ukraine hasn't been the one marketing themselves as a preeminent superpower. We are seeing a military apparatus that was vaunted as the 2nd most powerful on earth if not on parity with NATO struggling to get past the first hurdle, the conventional war before occupation, this is the easy part and it's now going on year 3 with Russian casualty figured that have far exceeded all post ww2 conflicts they have been involved in until the 2022 invasion.

@@MkEpicness Middle East: ARE WE A GODDAMN JOKE TO YOU?!!?
Don't answer that.
Russian and Ukrainian troops probably have the best military experience as of now. Modern army vs a modern army is brutal.
Their training and practice is vastly inferior still desipite experience. As well as tactics and strategy.
@Diego_TeixeiraI see what you mean, However Thats Completely Different. That was an unconventional war where The enemy used Guerilla warfare very successfully and in a Jungle Environment, which must made the effects of Guerilla warfare 10 times as effective.
This can also be seen in Afghanistan, where Guerilla warfare combined with Geography delivers incredible resistance and success against a Regular Conventional armed forces.
Russia would fight as they always have, they would lose the airwar in a matter of hours maybe days, and would be crushed at sea within weeks. It would be a slaughter they would have to surrender to avoid mass deaths.
@Diego_Teixeirayou have a fundamental misunderstanding of both conflicts
@Diego_Teixeira well at least you’re right about Russia.
@Diego_Teixeira the americans never suffered a defeat in battle. They "lost" and or just quit as there was no winning in the traditional sense. You can't destroy a guerrilla force outright especially if it's main force isn't in the same country of the fighting. In a standup traditional fight the US won each time, however the cost of playing world police is expensive so they chose to leave and force each country to handle it themselves.
As soon as Perun sends his division of Emus this war will be over.

I love Perun. He gives such good insight into the numbers involved.
@@JG-xi4tu he's been consistently.... wrong
Without proper foreign aid, it's only a matter of time. Russia is bigger, stronger, has a greater man-pool and can pump out equipment much faster than Ukraine could ever hope to achieve. Attritional wars are fought in the factories
Europe and NATO won't let that happen because they will be next
@@TrojaFojaRugsNah. Russia’s struggle in Ukraine has proved to them that Russia cannot conventionally threaten them if they go on the offense. If NATO giving weapons to a third world country with a large mass can hold them still. Russia pushing to even the Vistula in Poland is impossible
@@TrojaFojaRugs No they won't, because any move on any NATO member would mean direct US involvement and considering the US has produced more F-35s than the russian air force had aircraft in total pre-war I think they understand why that would be a horrendous blunder. Also note that russian production numbers are heavily padded as they are counting refurbished old equipment as "newly produced" to make it sound like they aren't so desperate for kit even their "elite" tank brigades are being handed tanks that have been out of production for more than 50 years.
@@kyleb7974if they conquer Ukraine they will completely destabilize all Europe and will conquer it without a gunfight.
Yup. Without foreign aid the war will finally end
Basically Ukraine is experiencing lack of manpower and a big number of them needs to be engineers with proper equipment. Foreign aid is slowing down.
everything hinges on the 2024 presidential election. Ukraine really needs to hold out until then. If Biden wins - (and congress turns blue) - Ukraine will get what they need to go on the offensive again. If Trump wins, the Ukraine will probably need to sue for peace and hope that American Democracy somehow survives. If it doesn't . . . the world has a much bigger problem.
From what is being said from people who are on the frontlines is they need ammunition not people
@@QualityBuddyexcuse me? That's exactly what they say. Because most are simply dead. Zelenskys 31000 casualties my a s😂
@m.j.9318 OK so I know you find this hard to believe, ukraine doesn't do Human wave assaults that is a soviet union strategy that russia seems to follow. So no ukraine doesn't have nowhere near how much deaths that russia has now I do agree its nowhere near 30k probaly higher but let's uses the syria civil war for a example, over 100k goverment forces have died over a 6+ year progress you would think that after everything it would be more but it's not because only russia sends large groups of people across a mine battlefield.
@@QualityBuddy do you have one verifiable proof Video of a "human wave attack", in this best documented war of all time?
Why do you believe ukrainian Propaganda?? Not even the ukrainians believe it anymore.
They know they get slaughteted. That's why they dont want to go. Zelensky cant fool them. They are not that dumb.
Heavy losses according to who exactly?
Literally everyone talks about heavy losses on both sides.
@@taiwi Yes, even according to Z-telegrams I am subscribed to Russia has heavy losses. They talk about it constantly, it's only news to the English-speaking audience I guess.
@@ImpreccablePony no they aren't stop lying. Most Z channels dont talk about losses.
Everyone? Russians are dropping like flies.
@@litrpg101yeah, losing men like crazy, losing ships like crazy, planes, tanks and so on. Im listening about this since russia invaded but here we are, still going strong. Truth is always somewhere in the middle.
Got to love the utter moral bankruptcy of the US: "Yes yes, your sovereignity is important but not the oil! :-("
yeah. 🙁
Elections in short. No funny business this year.
Issue is that higher petrol prices mean more votes for republicans and so likely to get Trump elected... which would mean no aid for Ukraine.
Nah, use your brain. The election is coming up. If gas prices rise the current president loses votes. If Biden loses votes the Republicans win, and aid to Ukraine stops.
It’s not that simple, you troglodyte. If Russia goes into a economic free fall, that instability is how nukes get lost. I already have a hard time believing that the Russians can accurately count their nuclear arsenal. I would much rather have Ukraine in cinders that nuclear weapons in the wind.
oil refineries in Russia are more government infrastructure than civilian
It must be precised that Macron position is also very unpopular in France, which adds to this developpement being very much unlikely.
Every French president is unpopular in France its part of French culture. He won twice
But a later poll showed that many young french men are willing to fight in Ukraine for the interests of France.
More than half of French youth ready to enlist and fight in Ukraine. A new survey published by Le Parisien finds that over half of French young people would be ready to enlist and fight against Russia in Ukraine if it were needed to defend France's interests
Not to mention this isnt about just the person of Macron - but general french interests, regardless of who is the president.
@@cz1589 Yeah, as a french I can assure you these polls aren't really reliable...
According to the same study, half of young people are interested in the military world through films and video games. Most have probably never held a weapon, or never fired with a machine gun (thank you Chirac for abolishing conscription). They are soldiers from Facebook, who think that war is a video game. The French army is struggling to recruit, (as in all Western countries), it lacking 2000 men in 2023. This is the first time this has happened in French history. We are simply not ready, neither mentally (people don't want to go to war), nor socially (the popularity rating of leaders is lower), nor industrially (our economy is based on services, we do not have the industrial capacity we had during the Cold War). We have disarmed and deindustrialized this country for decades, it will take decades to coming back and when you see the "elites" who rules France (and it is the same in all Western countries), I am not sure we're taking the path.
@@David-we1sd all young men that want to join the military in al lhuman history were naive about it. so its not new.

@@mariuss1590 Ukraine running out of air defense and morale drain, the Western country diminishing aid, and the upcoming Russian Summer Offensive could be the reason. As long as the West keep sending half-assed support to the Ukraine, the Russian will slowly gain the upper hand

Thanks as always for the round-up!
What is the percentage of Ukrainian men of draft age who have fled the country in order to avoid fighting in this war? Is it as huge as people say? Is it true they plan to raise the maximum draft age and lower the minimum draft age again because they are running out of troops?
It depends. There were a lot of boys who left at the start of the war under a draft age but turned draftable during the war. But I don't know to which group you count those.
No, not so many. Firstly in Ukraine closed borders for man 18-60 years. Secondly, new mobilization law was applied and must to mobilize mans from 25 to 60 years. By this law, increases salary for fighters, updates mobilizing process etc. Ukraine don't has a lack of manpower, we need more amunition and thats all
@@Danti1229 "increases salary" you're funny bro
They are only lowering the draft age to 25. While necessary, it's not desperate.
@@thefarter6462 What? My English not good. Increasing really huge. If u in frontline, your salary was 130k hryvnias( 3 286 USD(huge for Ukraine) and now +70k hryvnias(+1769 usd) and will be 200.000 hryvnias(5050usd). It's really amazing, with average 18000 hryvnias(455usd) in Ukraine and low prices **compare to our EU partners or US**

Exactly. You don't do military exercises and wargames with countries who are not your allies. Russia-China-Iran are the new axis. There should be no doubt at this point.
Also that Iran simultaneously launched a half-hearted drone attack on Israel that did little damage but made a lot of noise
@@kongming66 supposedly cost the U.S. 1Billion to deter massive loss of life
How so?
@@georgekim933 there appears to be a division between the Western and Eastern hemispheres of the globe. The East self-proclaimed as the 'Global South' under the oppressive nature of the West.
That being said, media has been depicting the divisiveness fairly often and this military cooperation helps to further that narrative between the two sides.
With Russia-Ukraine, China-Taiwan, and Iran-Israel; I'd prefer to see each of these pairings reach resolutions instead of further isolation and eventual desolation.
I watched video about people and army in ukraine. Who have money they will pay and leave country, poor and who can't leave country they going in war. Ofc they hiding and dont wanna fight. Rich will live and poor will die.
Yeahhhh.... That's pretty much standard throughout literally all of human history, and probably most of prehistory.
Nothing new about the poor being the ones who have to fight.
@@evananderson1455nope. In ancient and medieval history, the rich fought alongside the poor, and often went in first. They served as the elite forces since they could afford training and good equipment. One of the most famous examples is knights. The gun changed that forever, as any ape with a gun could kill you no matter how rich. Although the rich still normally had patriotism for their country and fought as officers in the army. It wasn’t until modern history that they betray their countries more commonly. They even do so when they’re at peace. Look at all the wealthy/educated people around the world fleeing their countries to go live in the wealthier countries, leaving their countries for dead
So long story short, this war will last another 2-3 years at the very minimum
this war ends this summer my dear
@@Marijan510 They said that when they ASSURED us they'd be in Kyiv in 2 weeks.
Probably at least another 2 years, yeah. Russia doesn't seem capable of breaching Ukrainian defenses so far and with every month they fail the long term prospects for a total victory become more dire. This is because Ukraine adopted the Russia defensive tactics shown to the south to stop their attack, and so are now just like them just building line and line of defenses.
Obviously if those are given to much time going anywhere quickly in Ukraine will become a complete hell. Especially considering so far Ukrainian defenses inflict incredibly lopsided losses on Russia forces.
Russia could easily lose their bid to take over all of Ukraine in such a case, being forced to have to leave the larger part outside their control. It's even conceivable Russia could have an internal coup in such an outcome, as one imagines the armed forces and elites would be very much not amused at such a defeat and the immense economic losses.
@@samwill7259only the west said that you can’t capture a city of millions with 40k troops the Russians were just there to apply pressure.
@@Quickshot0 I would add the demographic crisis as well. With their fertility rate being 1.4, they won't recover the amount of people lost on this war, on the contrary, their population will decline steadly year after year. The population decrease over the next decades won't be limited to countries like Japan and South Korea.
it's good to see the bigger picture regarding this conflict
having millions of men fighting for you is a well deserved power trip cause many kings didt have armys of 1 million
More wars...more money for military Industrial complex
The war could end tomorrow if Russia would stop the invasion.
Thanks to Putler! he NEVER EVERED stopped having a war here or there! you do know how much his friends earn from these wars?
Thanks to the members and patrons from me
thank you for the update
Very detailed as always guys, thx for the video 👌🤘🇨🇦
Never change your narrative voice.
Thanks!
But you been telling for 2 years that ukraine were winning and Russia was on it's knees? Our leaders claim 50% of Russias fighting force has been destroyed, it's all BS!
Sure, that's why they mobilised almost a million aince the beginning of the war, and their army only increased by 15% in size.
Both things can be true simultaneously. Did you even watch the video? Where they spent literally half the episode talking about Russias manufacturing capability? Its true that Russia likely lost over half of its originally military capacity that it had prior to the invasion. But its also been three years since then, and in three years they managed to build a shit ton more equipment and conscript a shit ton more people.
So its possible for both them to have lost half of their prewar stock and ALSO for them to have replaced all of it in three years....
things change over 2 years bonehead. at the time, russia was embarrassing itself. now its evolved past that in a lot of critical ways, others not so much. it's also benefiting from Ukraine's lack of aid now moreso than before. if u dont like the channels info, why are u here? the channels been very fair and balanced regarding facts despite its evident support for ukraine, as all sane people right now. u sound like a russian bot or something.
Perun breaks it down better than i could ever explain. Their arms industry hasn't declined but it is on a very very very sloooow upturn. The sanctions are in some way working but we are looking at some marginal differences as they work around those sanctions.
If for example Russian industry was at like 7.0 out of 10 before in 2020. Right now it is 6.8 out of 10.
Of course there's going to be propaganda in the western media, there's propaganda everywhere... But it's been a long 2 week special military operation.
Thanks for updating
Norway added factory workshifts.. im sorry? They didn't have them already? In 2024 no less how ahead of schedule!

Can I have free money please?
Every video sums up huge givings to Ukraine. Formidable mountains of money, equipment, training and aid; both civilian and military. It would be intresting to know, how this has impacted the EU countries own military capabilities.
You need to understand a different between make a promise and make the delivery to Ukraine
Please check how many percent of that AID actually delivered to Ukraine)
Right now EU is growing in military perspective when Ukrainians are fighting.
So you can spend less than 1% of your budget and save your country & your soldiers or waiting when the war will come to your country
It sounds like a lot, but as a percent of gdp or total defense spending, it's tiny. When you consider that all of western Europe 's militaries exist I protect from Russia, then you don't need to keep very much in your own defense of you win in Ukraine.
Well Poland has sent so much stuff we barely have anything left for ourselves. So if push comes to shove we can fight with sticks xD Plus EU has pretty much trashed its economy with fuel and electricty prices going through the roof in the last two years. Small businesses are closing because they cannot afford to pay electricity bills.......and now our amazing leadership wants to give a percentage of our GDP to Ukraine so........rip us xD
@@Raguel1984 you are full of 💩
It's probably helped US/EU militaries immensely. Most of the weapons and equipment we (the US) have pledged were equipment and arms that were going to be decommissioned/destroyed anyway, and I'm sure it's been the same for most of the EU.
For that aid and no risk to our own troops, we learn Russian military capabilities in a wartime scenario, the effectiveness of our weapons against Russian armor/aircraft, and we get to learn from both the Russian and Ukrainian mistakes/victories and the viable/enviable tactics/strategies being used.
This has also highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of the Russian military, from how they use their equipment (they seem to be very bad at combined arms fighting/integration) to how they produce it (seeing how quickly they need to turn to "allies" to shore up their own weaknesses) and has financially left Russia in a much more weakened state even if the war was to end today.
The information we (US & EU) have gotten from this war exponentially dwarfs the monetary value of our aid.
Always good to see our favorite power pointer Perun get a mention! Thanks for keeping us informed, guys.
A classic war of attrition, though it doesn’t sound as if Ukraine has the full commitment of its citizens since they have been unable to mobilize the needed troops.
Ukraine has enough troops, they need more weapons.
@@Chad-xs2dethey don’t have enough troops ether. They want to mobilize 500.000 thousand troops
@@JahNgomba-ir2zi 500k is possible but Ukraine will be going straight into a demographic collapse in the oncoming decades because of how much young, healthy, able-bodied men are disabled or killed in combat.

I think its fair to assume or certainly say that both has s suffered heavy losses with a little more from the Russians being the attacking side.

Mike Johnson wants credit for Russia's advances
MGT, Gaetz and Tucker Goebbels took it. They call MJ traitor now.

The US Government has *NOT* asked Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil infrastructure. "We do not encourage" is diplo-speak for "leave us out of it." Or to put it another way, they've said that they don't care.
And at the same time they’re saying that it possesses risk to the international oil trade and calling oil infrastructure a “civil” one.
Seriously? So why did they say anything? Does the Russian ambassador have the means to pressure Kirby to say something he does not want to?
@@oleksii000 ye , i call us bs on that one if they the increasingly blatantly corp dynasties and fundamentalist kingdom style us wants to pretend it not tryess to bully smaller nations it cant double speak like that
after all it could fork out resources in advance along with some hardware to render the tsars armour and airforce advantage null , since considering the last decades it looks like the only way to use the bloated us army long term is by arming locals already fighting , aka small nations like ukrane get hardware and monetary support without debts , or one just ends up with afghanistan or iraq situations agen
The US and other countries refused to provide certain long range weapons for the sole reason of not wanting Ukraine to attack Russian infrastructure. You don't know what you're talking about
American citizens do care. Unless Ukraine wants less support: we arent interested in paying more at the pump.
Furthermore, Ukraine has on multiple occasions violated US terms of using our weapons inside of Russian territory.
when you are not allowed to go after Russian logistics and critical supply infrastructure......how does one think Ukraine can still win?

@@Lancetdrone He used fact taken from the source you deemed propaganda
Sorry, there is no facts, just pure speculations.
I wouldn’t trust either sources from Ukraine or Russia. Ukraine wants more money so they’ll say “look what we did America!” My Ukrainian friend said Americans are the only ones who will gain from this war and Ukraine is a pawn. They have resources American companies like Blackrock want first dibs on IF they win.

Love this channel and all your content
the fact that Argentina is sending anything when their economy is in free fall is crazy.
As much as, for the time being, a French direct intervention sounds implausible, that actually gives some food for thought, academically speaking.
There are foreign military forces around the world with an international mandate to inforce peace in conflict or former conflict areas, such as in Kosovo or in the African Central Republic - where my country's Army (Portugal) have been present for years. First Gulf War Allied forces were put in motion under such mandate.
I'm aware we are speaking of an ongoing conflict, with one of the beligerants being a permanent Security Council member. But diplomacy has allways been a key factor in wars throughout the ages, so the presence of foreign armies in Ukraine, outside the theater of operations, doesn't seem something that unthinkable...
Once again, food for thought.
I suppose Zaluzhny did not invest large resources into the counteroffensive - he did just enough to prove that Ukraine is undertaking serious attempt of regaining control of it's territory, which allowed him to conserve substantial forces for current defence by Syrskiy.
Thank you for this thorough update @KingsandGenerals
Ukraine is being worn down. Thats why they tried to secure territory quickly and secure their holds and try to force a surrender or hold until they could recuperate. I pray they can hold if not Europe maybe engulfed in a much larger conflict
About the Czech initiative, Czech PM recently talked about 500k (not sure when), before that there were talks about 160 or 180k in June. Not nearly enough, Russia allegedly spends 40k a day...

You put a lot of stock on a guy who has been wrong
For the Kings and Generals! For the algorithm!
It's so strange it seems like so much from everywhere is been sent but the line is still moving on the wrong direction why is it that only when the US sends shit it seems to have actual impact
When you throw out all nuance...
The problem is with the artillery shells. They will start arriving again in a month or so with the Czech initiative, which we talked about...
There has been a period of time known as the peace dividend after the soviet union fell. A lot of countries though large scale conventual warfare was a thing of the past so there was large cuts to their military budgets. The result of that is although there is a lot of money getting thrown around the stockpiles of ammo and equipment just aren't there to be sent quickly, The U.S However while still effected by the peace dividend has enough mass and interests elsewhere that our stockpiles are still fairly deep so if Denmark sends a billion dollars that's either in cash to keep their government running, Humanitarian aid, or investments to ramp up their production. When the U.S sends aid they have the option to just hand over a boat load of artillery shells.
What a strange timeline where CoD kind of becomes real lfie...
this is naive propaganda
Go home Russia nobody want to be neighbors with you
@@rowdy8814 they've stopped trying to conceal the bots
Yeah it’s presented so differently than the non bias much better way they cover wars of the past
bot troll alert

I mostly study past battle and tactics like the two world wars but also like to here about the wars of today. Russia Ukraine looks like a stalemate. Both sides have lots of weapons (most of Ukraine’s are western made). Thanks for the great work. Wait for a new video every week.
It looks like a stalemate to you. The actions on the battlefield and Zelensky's messages to the West tell a very different story
@@gdiwolverinemale4th but no ones wining.
@@gdiwolverinemale4th The frontline hasn't changed for 1.5 years, it is absolutely a stalemate / attritional war right now
Doesn't mean things won't change, western front WW1 was a stalemate / attritional war... until it wasn't.
@@HistoryHaty Look up Zeno's paradox. It looks logical does it not? Particularly if the side you support is a turtle
@@jatie9 The battle line is changing every minute. Did you know it is 1000 miles long? Look up how many towns/villages have been captured in the past several months
Thank you for the amazong videos i have been waiting for this video a couple of weeks now ❤😂
The noise effect for when you're popping up new stuff is like chalk grinding pls something else
As an Argentinian, I appreciate that my country is giving help to Ukraine, but I know that we can only do so in painfully small ways, as our military capacity is small and very outdated, and our economic crisis prevents us from helping in other ways.
Still, something is done.
How do u know Ukraine is on the right side?
@@azman73681 wasn't Argentina one of the countries the Nazis in WWII escaped to?
one way you could help mind your own but coming from Argentina after WW11 I believe some Germans fled to there I see where your coming from
@@azman73681 Uh, who started the attack? Russia. Who's a dictator in all but name? Putin.
Whatever issues Ukraine had before, that Russia is invading to conquer and annex another country is wrong.
@@Quicks1lvr A few, yes. Enough of the politicians back then were closer to fascism, something I criticize these days.
They also brought enough scientists so we could build a nuclear power plant. Dunno how to feel about that.
the withdrawn american support will cost american lives in the long run.
@@Koelebig isolation worked so well for the us in the past..
@@Koelebig anyway right now is the worst time to not show force. and abandoning ukraine will cost more than those old systems the us army would otherwise scrap anyway. or do you think the "saved" money would benefit the american people in any way ? :D
@@ruthnikthe Americans new what the price would be and paid it anyway
How so lmao? Russia has absolutely no intention nor capability to attack America or her NATO allies.
I love the background music at 27:23 😀
Waiting impatiently for history video x
We are releasing videos all the time.
I fear that the West's inability to truly protect Ukraine in this war could be a failing that we all look back on as near catastrophic in twenty years time. It has all the hallmarks of an inflection point and there are no strong enough leaders left in the west to truly lead through this crisis.
Fortunately Europe is still upping its contributions then, so I'm doubtful they don't have strong enough leaders as such. Plenty seem to be willing to provide more aid as they are able.
Though of course that is also the problem, Europe was in a pretty deep peace economy, so cycling up their military production takes a fair while. Still two years later there are definitely quite a bit more of them now running and being built.
dude russia has been waning ukaine for years not to join nato why do u think they annexed crimea and initiated the separtists movement in donbas? they wont listen and forced putin to invade as there's no other option as if they join nato then its gonna be a alliance made against Russia super close to Moscow and a large border with them which is something that has occurred in the past with invading forces trying to invade Russia
@@what5772Ukraine had an official neutral position before the Russian invasion and had no intention of joining NATO at all. This position change only occurred after Russia invaded and forced Ukraine to reconsider its military situation.
It's just Russia's excuse that such a thing would happen. And even if it for some reason had been a thing Ukraine actually wanted to do, it's not really Russia's business to tell sovereign nations what they can and can not do.
Truthfully though, it is Russia that had reneged on its treaty obligations. After all they had guaranteed Ukraine's borders as well as its full economic freedom for them giving up their nukes. Yet a decade later they were meddling in Ukrainian politics via economic means. And then a decade later violated Ukrainian borders as well.
Beyond that, the closest border to Moscow is the Baltic nations, which are already in NATO. And the war itself caused Finland to join NATO as well, which now has put Russia's second city St Petersburg extremely close to NATO borders now, as well as the supply and support routes for two of their most important naval bases.
So the entire thing about distance to the border is a pretty fictitious thing, just an excuse made up by Russia that was never under any real threat because NATO for one can only be activated defensively and secondly has absolutely zero interest in getting involved in a nuclear war, something the Russian invasion of Ukraine only further proved. The developed nations have far to much to lose to go for such utterly imbecilic gambles that gain them basically near nothing even if it went well.
Thus Russia was under no threat, it never was under threat, it wouldn't have ever come under threat.
In the end Russia's elite were just far to arrogant to listen to anyone else and just acted out their desires and greed with not a care of what the actual peoples wanted.
@@what5772too bad. you dont get to bully your neighbors because you dont like them. if you dont like it, move somewhere else. if russia is worried about its capital maybe it shouldnt put it so close to the border.
Is it the west aka EU and NATO that is at war, or is it Ukraine that is at war?
How comes Ukraine can't supply their own forces themself?
Breaking news: The billl has been passed boys.
Too bad ukraine will need at least 100 billion more than its getting from US/Europe combined to even match half of the 400 billion ish russia is pumping into their war effort in military spending for 2024. And russia seems dug in to keep this up for many many more years. Meanwhile each passing year the US and Europe has more and more political resistance to funding the war effort. Putin is very secure politically in russia.
Zhirinovsky died? Oh how out of touch I got. Also want to apologize for our president sounding like an internet edgelord

This war has been really profitable for the bankers.
All wars are.
I don’t know how much money you think a bank has, but it’s not enough to fund a war; especially when they might not get paid back
@@AYVYN Oh, well you better tell the Federal Reserve and Treasury Dept that.
Why you didn’t mention that Chechens entered to belgorad as well?
And finally, Mike Johnson let it be put for vot and has passed the house. Now, it has to pass the Senate. Let's see if all that talk from the Senate Republicans is true.
Could you guys cover some pre colonial African history? :)
Africa is a large continent, which part? Which country? I think they already covered Egypt which is one of the most interesting countries of Africa, long history too!
Carthage too. Awesome history there, Hannibal was the pride of Africa back in the bc era. Cleopatra not forgotten either.
@@Trump-jv8xf Africa is vast, any part is gladly love to see. We typically always hear about Egypt because of how rich in history it is, it’d just be nice to hear about other countries in the continent.
What sums up the Russian advances is that they lose many troops when they attack.. I think they lose about 1000 soldiers per day in this war. Would not be surprised if they did.
Source: Zelensky told me LOL
You must be really stupid if you think major countries lose 1000 men per day in a war.
Could western pilots volunteer and fly F 16s for Ukraine. Is there a difference compared to “normal” infantry soldiers?
It is very likely that pilots are under more scrutiny than infantry - they take more time to train, are more expensive to train, know more operational secrets. Regardless, I don't expect Ukrainian F-16s to operate anywhere near the front, so it should be safe.
That’s high treason
That is not high treason. An active member of the military might get a dishonorable discharge for going AWOL and/or ignoring a direct order. But that has nothing to do with treason.
The thing is if they stop, they look weak. So they won't.
