and for China being a better capitalist anyway "oh no they subsidize their companies" so are you, and? USA print international money and have audacity to whine that someone still outcompete them?
Yup. Both parties are corporate dynasties. One does absolutely nothing while pretending to courageously fight for the status quo,trying to drag the world in a nuclear exchange for MIC profits and refusing to stop funding an ongoing livestreamed genocide. The other one pretends to be an "outsider" intending to change the "system", despite being one of the gilded beneficiaries of said system their entire lives and willing to offer spots in their government to one of the richest people on the planet (who also happens to be someone who benefitted off said system their entire lives and, like the pres elect, will do everything to increase their wealth, privileges, and power granted to them by said system). NA political discourse is pure gas-lit bullshit. People on both sides of the aisle need to reject these lying thugs wholesale and start working together in opposition to both parties.

Each time the the Ukrainian leadership sees a killing box, they just send their best, youngest, most valuable men to the slaughter! At this point it is just criminal. in 2023, Ukraine had a real chance to force a good negotiation position now it is impossible. Drafting the 18-25 would be futile and self genocide. what is the point! The only way Ukraine could "win" is diplomacy at this point. Russia is not getting any weaker. It is getting stronger and i expect at the end of this war, it will be a major regional superpower or a minor global superpower. The biggest loser after Ukraine is the EU.
The latest kidnapped blokes being directed towards trenches in the Donbass probably don't know that the best equipment and logistics are still going to Kursk.
Kursk region is only 0,2% of Russian Federation territory. And Ukraininan forces occupy only 1,5% of Kursk region (or 0,003% of Russian federation territory). While Russia has siezed 25% of Ukrainian territory already. Yet Ukrainian forces eager to conquer yet 0,0001% of Russia in Kursk region instead of liberating their own former lands. So crazy!
Of course, but this can show you, that defending ukie "homeland" is not real target. They are financially and militarily supported by other countries, that have their own agenda. No, it is not ukraine.
So much discussion on whether Putin will go to negotiations or not, when Putin literally said there would be no negotiations over Kursk. Quote “The president said this very clearly, that after the attacks on the Kursk region began, not even attacks, but an invasion of the Kursk region, negotiations are out of the question - Lavrov said."” And I literally remember that when Kursk started, many channels speculated that it was deliberately done by Zelensky to prevent any possibility for negotiations. And now Zelensky continues even further in Kursk. This is not done for a strong bargaining position, it is done so that there will be NO negotiations at all. And they will try to sell this to Trump as: “See we're the ones who want negotiations, it's Putin who doesn't want them. Give us more weapons.” This is so idiotic, this could have ended YEARS ago, but we are still here and people keep dying and there is no end in sight.
So are you suggesting Russia invaded Ukraine in order to open the possibility for negotiation? Why are you blinding yourself to what Russia has done and being critical to Ukraine when it responds in kind
NATO won't stop expanding and threatening the world until it has had its ass hand to them. Nobody could stop what was going to happen. The fact that Putin has limited it to a boarder skirmish is astounding.
@@vercingetorix3839 It is necessary to first know everything essential about this conflict and only then write your "opinions" here. Ukraine is to blame and will be punished by Russia. No one and nothing will change this.
"Ukraine was sold a false hope of victory" Robert Skidelsky, a member of the British House of Lords. The West's promise of unconditional support for Ukraine's victory undoubtedly prolonged the conflict, blinding Ukrainians in their assessment of the real prospect of a limited victory, which, nevertheless, would ensure genuine independence.
Ukraine is dumber than shit for believing us tbh. They could’ve looked at any one of our “Allies” from the last 40 years and seen how allying with the us only results in death and destruction for your nation.
Ukraine was sold lots of stuff, Western and Russian commitments to security, Russian promises of friendship and respect to sovereignty, and, of course, unconditional support in an existential war by the west, I'd say for a country that spent its entire life being tricked by foreign powers, clinging to a fading prospect of victory is the only option they have left.

Holding ground which as no value whatsoever (no city or powerplant) is a stupid move that is just wasting resources that would be more useful in the front stopping the russians from gaining more terrain and leverage.
While probably constrained by political concerns, strategically the Russians probably want to let the Ukrainians advance further. The deeper those units get the more exposed they are, and their logistics are vulnerable. Nothing quite like doubling down on a mistake.
Yeah of course that is not true. There are several more or less reliable sources out there if you wanted actual numbers but hey bot accounts are going to bot. Clown
@@racoming1035 No its not. There are plenty of fairly reliable sources out there. But they all show the same thing and that is that there are many times more russians dying than ukrainians. But that doesnt agree with your worldview so you keep coping

Willy OAM is extremely impressive! I very proud of him! He’s grown so much since he began covering this war. He admits his blind spots, he admits that he uncritically accepted many narratives that were little more than propaganda. He now evaluates them for what they are. He endeavors to evaluate every claim from every perspective.
Zelenskyy wouldn't be Zelenskyy, if he didn't reinforce failure. He already wasted 47,000 of his remaining troops on this misadventure that failed in the first days when it became clear that NPP was out of reach. When the regime is reduced to mass kidnappings off the streets of hapless cannon fodder, it can last only several months not years. It's a cumulative effect of an attrition strategy implemented by Russians. For a long time it seems nothing changes on the map, but then we see rapid collapse. "The main object of operations should not be the territory, but the enemy's army. If the army runs out, the territory will come by itself. " Helmut von Moltke Senior. This war proved once more that old Moltke was right. Zelenskyy troops in Pokrovsk area (Pokrovsk is a key logistical hub that Zelenskyy is about to lose) and further South mostly consist of hapless cannon fodder kidnapped off the streets. They are totally disorganized and demoralized. I don't see Ukraine beyond spring 2025.

Just imagine that the first demand from Russians before the start of negotiations will be withdrawal from Kurskaya obl., as Russians did in 2022 with Kiev. To show the serious intentions, you know
Again with these bot accounts. Russia didnt withrawl from the outskirts of Kiev to show good intentions. Their position was untenable. They overestimated their capabilites and had to dip out. Even russians acknowledge this. How hard to you have to cope to end up where you are right now
Russians know that it's just some forests. Kiev was the capital of Ukraine so it was kinda smart to pretend that you want to negotiate to relieve the capital.
Ukraine lost in Kursk region 490 tanks and "bradleys", 35 000 personnel, 304 artillery canons, 2000+ cars and armored vehicles. Germans lost in Kursk 100 000 dead and 400 000 wounded and most of it's tanks. But mostly both of them lost in Kursk war
@@hekpacobctac616 Those numbers are off by a mile. You're so off it's funny. Also, you didn't mention that the russian recollection of the Kursk offensive during WW2 is also horribly wrong. Yes, the Wehrmacht lost the famous battle in Kursk but the russian losses were many times higher. Also, the amount of armor lost on German side was negligible. But if you want to lie to yourself and keep coping feel free to do so.

People in the "Collective West" don't understand the reason why all of this is happening. They speak about territoreal aspects, NATO enlargement and so forth. One of the main reasons of this war took place is the total descrimnation of Russian culture which is implemented in Ukranian jurisdictiion. It is prohibited to speak Russian language, to be an orthodox Christian on the lands, where you and your parents has spoken in Russian and being a Chrisiitan for hundreds of years. See interview of Tucker Carlson with mister Lavrov. He specifically points out this problem and if we want a diplomatic resolvement of this crisis it needs to be addressed firsthand. For me personally it is very strange that bloggers and opinion leaders don't talk about it in negotiation aspects perspective and put everything in territoreal wise settlement.
"We are deceiving ourselves and others when we pretend to have answers to the problems, which agitate many of these Asiatic peoples. Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3 of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships, which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security."

We Americans - with some other English speaking nations - dominate entertainment industry, music, film, art, sport (vide: Paris Olympics medal tally), fashion, even global fast food networks... you name it.

Good points. However, territories are crucial for securing freedom for Russian citizens. Once there is a Russian authority over the territories there is no problem with violating the human rights of Russians. No Ukraine, no cry.
@@anaremelam5998 i can find no official statement by Russia that this is the case. I can find statements that Kursk will not be in any peace talks by Kremlin aides, This is not the same,, none of these seem to come from any official Russian pronouncement.
What's the point of this offensive anyway? They have captured a small piece of forest belts with huge losses, where they are under maximum pressure. Despite the fact that the Russian Armed Forces army is advancing in the south in Sudzha, if something goes wrong, the front will collapse, they will simply be surrounded.
That is a completely idiotic thought that Russia could bargain with its lands. All lands of 'ukraine' are basically Russia's and Russia won;t accept less than unconditional surrender of fascists ukraine.
Seriously what is supposed to be the strategic goal in Kursk except for the green t-shirt's political survival??? Its time to stop supporting this nonsense.
Very simple. Who paid this from the beginning? What was the agenda, western politicians wanted to hide, only recently some of them revealed, how it is best money spent? Of course it is not ukraine and its citizens who can benefit this. Probably in the end there even will be no ukraine. Tried many times, but yt won't allow to say it directly, despite that even american senators talks about that directly.
I was worried that Ukraine smartens up and dows the correct thing and preserve the troops to fight another day by pulling out of Kursk. Instead they doubled down on stupid launching another suicide mission.
Willy / Matthew. The eternal optimist. Peace talks, negotiations. Like the movie Field of Dreams. "Build it, and they will come." Er, no, maaaaate. All the NATO players may turn up, however, Russia WILL NOT negotiate with liars and thieves. Russia will settle the proxy war militarily.
@@ricardocimathis is true, but, it's not a reality that needs to come to pass. As an American I don't want to fight anyone that doesn't need fighting, Russia has been dealt with poorly by Nato, on the diplomatic field. They aren't the USSR anymore, They will not have a controlling hand on anything America does BUT; I would rather see us on trading terms with open logistics between us, obviously stuff restricted by our ITAR or their version of it wouldn't go, but what if they want American manufactured ammunition, I want Russian manufactured ammunition (for some calibers, they've got quality on Lockdown) and that's just one lane of trade. If anything, China needs to be handled and it's unfortunate imo that Russia has been pushed to deal with them over nato bEcause Russia was denied Nato membership during Clinton's presidency. It wasn't Clinton directly that said no, he said he'd think about it when Putin asked him. It was later he told him no, after having a couple meetings with a certain type of hat wearing banking conglomerate. The Eagle and Bear do not need to be enemies.
@@ricardocimaare you aware of numbers of NATO forces? Like their actual man count? It is a joke. Also, the moment they turn up, they will either get a nuclear strike or oreshnik will fly with multiple nuclear loads.
Pooring troops and military hardware into an area when your own country is being taken over on a daily basis is completely insane. What a waste of resources.
The "horrors of what Russia has done to Ukraine" have been the horrors of a virtually unavoidable war, targeted at the combatants in that war. The horrors of the genocide committed in Gaza are the results of the direct targeting of the civilian population by an occupying force. There is no comparison.
Willie there will be no negotiation . Whi can Russia negotiate with ? Ukraine has no elected leader. The west dont stand by signed agreements. So who does Russia negotiate with?
Does Russia stand by its signed agreements? Ummm no, and you drank the propaganda kool aid, about the elected representatives. The constitution literally states that it must be postponed. Let’s say Russia got invaded by nato, and more than 30% of their territories are occupied. Would they hold elections? No martial law would postpone it, and you would see the same exact things you criticize Ukraine for happening in Russia. You people are so one dimensional
I don't get this new Kursk offensive. Apparently NAFO's posted on the exact size, location and time of this new push. The Russians were waiting for them. Why order a column to go through open ground into a kill box?
because they don't care, they only care about keeping the farce up, to get more money from the west and be richer. They will try to pull the rug at some point and dissapear... I think they won't succeed though.
Its sad actually. Some people don't understand that Ukraine never had a chance in grinding war of attrition. They still hope to see some miracle winner-move, not understanding that it is not a ufc match, its a last man standing marathon.
They're not even allowed to do a miracle winner move, winning is off the table obviously, if it were allowed theyd target putin right off the bat, it must be a double cross, no?
Real life are not movie, the problem is that mainstream narrative depict Ukrainian as underdog or side of light that oppose darkness for years which is not btw.
The Ukrainian government couldn't care less how many men die. Their only goal is to secure better bargaining conditions so the local oligarchs can keep making money. 😢 shame
@kruger7796 unbiased bloggers disagree with you. Ukraine hasn't the infantry to mount anything significant. They'll need a million soldiers to take back the east of Ukraine. They don't have it. Sad for them.
@@RefurbIshment-z7l How does that have anything to do with the original point of the neglect Russia has for the lives of their own men? Besides, you're using bloggers as information. In other words, you're a clown. Any source that base its statisitcs on confimred losses have russia losing many times more men and materiel than Ukraine. With proper western support this war would've been easy instead of the limited supply of older surplus weapon and equipment we see now. Alas, if there is anything we have learned from this war it is that Russia is weaker than expected.
Wait Ukraine are not just doubling down but triple down on another Kursk offensive despite losing ground in east front ? If that's true then how long it going to lose steam because lack of manpower and supplies.
Because the West has nothing to trade. Everything they make is overpriced. The vast majority of their raw materials come from the global south and East, which in the old days they used to steal. The West is done.
I think the current system is required to enable the level of economic malfeasance the US engages in. In a world economy that is free and market based, our currency would be worthless.
Because the US has spent the last 100 plus years invading, interfering with, subverting, crushing, and destroying every country it possibly can to maintain and expand its hegemony and empire. The countries who have been bullied and terrorized by the US and survived know what is at stake if they don't fight back. The US has very much shaped the geopolitical order that currently exists, at the expense of the entire globe.
As a far I as I remember, the Russia set the conditions to the end of the war. What is the problem ?? No ifs, no buts, end of the story. Take it, or leave it ;-)

Breaking news: Russia has deployed a mechanized Chinese AliExpress division to supply the frontline with Russian flags to stick them in the all the settlements going back under their control in so-called Ukraine
There is no conceivable reason why the Russians would stop their advance for talks. They might talk while continuing to take more ground, but they have consistently said that they are only interested in permanent solutions, no ceasefires, no frozen conflict. The value of the Kursk incursion to Ukraine is 0.000. This latest one may break Ukraine completely.
actually Putin explicitly said that there will be no ceasefire for any peace talks. If I remember correctly he said that pre-conditions for any ceasefire is for Ukraine to withdraw forces from Kursk region and all the regions of Ukraine Russia laid claim on in their administrative borders. That means withdrawing troops from all of the Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhe.
Good on ya mate, appreciate your effort in keeping the community updated on russia-ukraine, especially thanks for the content daily! I hope your chemo is going well dude im rooting for you!! Stay strong man. Love from the US
These Ukrainian columns was completely deleted yesterday, surprisingly easy. And by the way, power of electronic warfare was overblown yesterday by a couple of telegram channels, which, immediately was picked up by Ukrainian channels. In reality, everything was as usual.
Willy, chinese ambassador to Russia said a few days ago that it's about time to return Taiwan. It seems that Western information bubble is so thick that this statement didnt get through.
We can keep speculating about this and that. But can we at least agree that this war is lost? There is no out of Kursk, there is nothing there. Why pour highly valuable resources into an area without anything in it but some trees and sticks. It's all PR and this tragedy and in my opinion prolonging this war is criminal on both sides.
its weird how so many are acting like negotiations are just a forgone conclusion the moment Trump comes into office. it really shows a complete lack of awareness of the Russian position in this conflict, Though it will be interesting to see how the collective West reacts when Russia responds with a , "Nah ...We Good" and just carries on knocking the stuffing out of a weakened Ukraine when an invite to talks are given.
Hi Willy I’m fed up hearing about the rules based on world order ( why are the Europeans so obsessed about telling others how to live there lives ), the world is changing so the west better get use to it, the EU they are totally delusional about there power, most of there former colonies despise them deep down , they have just been waiting for a new non European power to emerge. Europeans need to change there attitudes before it is too late.
Yes, rules based order, not international recognised law. It's a ploy to remove checks and balances and enable unelected entities to dictate geo political economic issues.
@ I agree with you but there are a lot of sheep who just read tabloids etc who believe the MSM narrative as they have never been taught to question things, if the crowd is going in one way I always question it & i’m man enough to admit when I get it wrong because that’s how you learn.
@@markgayle5453 Yes, its unfortunate when (misguided) trust in MSM/ Govt or Authority is deliberately abused, esp if to usher in topics, issues, rules, policies etc not in the interests or common good of all but only a select few. Boggles my mind the gaslighting people will continually put up with only because someone in authority, govt or on MSM says a thing must be so.
The Western neocon governments in power across the NATO countries don’t need good news from the front in Ukraine in order to justify their escalations. In fact they’ve used the consistently bad news to justify their escalations. Public opinion in the Western countries is strongly opposed to escalations, but public opinion doesn’t matter to the neocons because they know that the only opinion that matters in that of the the imperial master across the ocean. The neocons know in any case that there is a permanent disconnect what the people want and what the ruling class wants, but the people don’t have any real power despite the illusion of democratic elections.
PR victories without negotiations mean nothing, unless we think that the populations in Western democracies have any say in how much money is given to Ukraine etc (hint: they don't; see also Israel). The Viet Minh thought it was worth taking the French Dien Bien Phu forts only because they were in the middle of negotiations to end the war, and the victory tilted the negotiations in their favour. Kursk is just a meat grinder.

The other one pretends to be an "outsider" intending to change the "system", despite being one of the gilded beneficiaries of said system their entire lives and willing to offer spots in their government to one of the richest people on the planet (who also happens to be someone who benefitted off said system their entire lives and, like the pres elect, will do everything to increase their wealth, privileges, and power granted to them by said system). NA political discourse is pure gas-lit bullshit. People on both sides of the aisle need to reject these lying thugs wholesale and start working together in opposition to both parties.

Great observation!! I was wondering myself.
I know right the kursk op is so stupid
@@jessebailey6290 Kursk and last year's stupid Zaporizhzhia offensive, Bakhmout and so on. They should have fall back and invest in real defensive lines like the surovikin lines (in depth defense). Each time the the Ukrainian leadership sees a killing box, they just send their best, youngest, most valuable men to the slaughter!
At this point it is just criminal. in 2023, Ukraine had a real chance to force a good negotiation position now it is impossible.
Drafting the 18-25 would be futile and self genocide. what is the point! The only way Ukraine could "win" is diplomacy at this point. Russia is not getting any weaker. It is getting stronger and i expect at the end of this war, it will be a major regional superpower or a minor global superpower. The biggest loser after Ukraine is the EU.
Putin knows that if he targets Zelensky, he will be targeted himself. Putin wants to live.
Pushing into Kursk again? Man the eastern front defenders must be completely demoralized hearing this.

Kursk region is only 0,2% of Russian Federation territory. And Ukraininan forces occupy only 1,5% of Kursk region (or 0,003% of Russian federation territory). While Russia has siezed 25% of Ukrainian territory already. Yet Ukrainian forces eager to conquer yet 0,0001% of Russia in Kursk region instead of liberating their own former lands. So crazy!
Of course, but this can show you, that defending ukie "homeland" is not real target. They are financially and militarily supported by other countries, that have their own agenda. No, it is not ukraine.
The point is the fact THAT they are holding Russian territory. It's an attack on Putin's position rather than an attack on Russia as a whole.
18 % of Ukrainian territory.
@@adocuric9154 let's say more than 10%, still numbers are speaking for themselves

Weird
So much discussion on whether Putin will go to negotiations or not, when Putin literally said there would be no negotiations over Kursk.
Quote
“The president said this very clearly, that after the attacks on the Kursk region began, not even attacks, but an invasion of the Kursk region, negotiations are out of the question - Lavrov said."”
And I literally remember that when Kursk started, many channels speculated that it was deliberately done by Zelensky to prevent any possibility for negotiations.
And now Zelensky continues even further in Kursk.
This is not done for a strong bargaining position, it is done so that there will be NO negotiations at all.
And they will try to sell this to Trump as: “See we're the ones who want negotiations, it's Putin who doesn't want them. Give us more weapons.”
This is so idiotic, this could have ended YEARS ago, but we are still here and people keep dying and there is no end in sight.
So are you suggesting Russia invaded Ukraine in order to open the possibility for negotiation?
Why are you blinding yourself to what Russia has done and being critical to Ukraine when it responds in kind
@@vercingetorix3839 The problem is Ukraine had no power to back it up.

"Ukraine was sold a false hope of victory"
Robert Skidelsky, a member of the British House of Lords.
The West's promise of unconditional support for Ukraine's victory undoubtedly prolonged the conflict, blinding Ukrainians in their assessment of the real prospect of a limited victory, which, nevertheless, would ensure genuine independence.
Brits said Hitler could be appeased, why would Ukraine listen to them?
Ukraine is dumber than shit for believing us tbh. They could’ve looked at any one of our “Allies” from the last 40 years and seen how allying with the us only results in death and destruction for your nation.
Fair point. The high watermark was Autumn 2022, as Mark Milley had said, among others
Ukraine was sold lots of stuff, Western and Russian commitments to security, Russian promises of friendship and respect to sovereignty, and, of course, unconditional support in an existential war by the west, I'd say for a country that spent its entire life being tricked by foreign powers, clinging to a fading prospect of victory is the only option they have left.
@@jamesgornall5731There was no high water mark, there was no guarantee that the Russians would have negotiated or make concessions seeing the hate and willingness of the Ukrainians to harm Russians. If there was a high water point it was Ankara March 2022.
What about the atrocities ukraine did in 2021 to its own citizens just because they spoke Russian
ukraine killed over 30 000 russian-speaking people of Donbass. France , Gaermany , UK and US helped ukraine to do that
They are paying for it. And will pay more
Zelensky and lex are literally 2 israelis agreeing with each other that more ukranian boys should go to the front line to save them face.

These bot accounts are getting worse and worse. This shit has been debunked for years now. Literal YEARS. It's sad to see that this channel is just farmed by bot accounts these days
It's so hilarious that the media is calling this new kursk offensive a "counter offensive".
Unlike previous one, this time no element of surprise.
As opposed to what? They're countering the russian offensive currently taking place on their positions in Kursk. It is literally what it is. But again, bots are going to be bots.
@@kruger7796It's an offensive. This is just basic military tactics terminology, and they're playing Ministry of Truth with it.
@@kruger7796 to offensive? Because Russians are conducting counter offensive against an offensive that Ukrainians conducted in Kursk oblast. Are you counting all offensives? Are every single offensives after first one should be called counter offensives? Or you should call what Ukrainians do counter counter counter offensive?

If Russia hits back, they'll have to call it a counter-counter offensive.
Congrats on hitting 200k willy !
the first kursk offensive was an utterly dumb move, this is just beyond idiotic.
You dont know whats going on the ground if you think its a dumb move, Russia can only move so many troops in through the choke holds. hense why they haven't been able to kick ukraine out.
@@adaptiveaussie2216 it's called attrition. Ukraine is sending the sheep to slaughter.
@@adaptiveaussie2216 Yet they are advancing inside Ukraine without resistance in some cases. Holding ground which as no value whatsoever (no city or powerplant) is a stupid move that is just wasting resources that would be more useful in the front stopping the russians from gaining more terrain and leverage.
Several Israeli ministers openly called for starving Gaza population. And, you know that. I have to give you second warning today not to lie.
While probably constrained by political concerns, strategically the Russians probably want to let the Ukrainians advance further. The deeper those units get the more exposed they are, and their logistics are vulnerable. Nothing quite like doubling down on a mistake.
From what i heard, Ukraine 🇺🇦 lost 40k troops in kursk. This is insane.
I'd be curious in actual data on this. This data is the best kept secret of the war.
Is it better to die somewhere else or what?
Yeah of course that is not true. There are several more or less reliable sources out there if you wanted actual numbers but hey bot accounts are going to bot. Clown
@@racoming1035 No its not. There are plenty of fairly reliable sources out there. But they all show the same thing and that is that there are many times more russians dying than ukrainians. But that doesnt agree with your worldview so you keep coping
@@racoming1035 They are not secret. The MOD RF publishes these numbers every week. The last figure was about 50,000 eliminated Ukros. The numbers are increasing because the green jerseys are sending more and more cannon fodder there.
Willy OAM is extremely impressive! I very proud of him! He’s grown so much since he began covering this war. He admits his blind spots, he admits that he uncritically accepted many narratives that were little more than propaganda. He now evaluates them for what they are. He endeavors to evaluate every claim from every perspective.
Zelenskyy wouldn't be Zelenskyy, if he didn't reinforce failure. He already wasted 47,000 of his remaining troops on this misadventure that failed in the first days when it became clear that NPP was out of reach. When the regime is reduced to mass kidnappings off the streets of hapless cannon fodder, it can last only several months not years. It's a cumulative effect of an attrition strategy implemented by Russians. For a long time it seems nothing changes on the map, but then we see rapid collapse. "The main object of operations should not be the territory, but the enemy's army. If the army runs out, the territory will come by itself. " Helmut von Moltke Senior. This war proved once more that old Moltke was right. Zelenskyy troops in Pokrovsk area (Pokrovsk is a key logistical hub that Zelenskyy is about to lose) and further South mostly consist of hapless cannon fodder kidnapped off the streets.

Just imagine that the first demand from Russians before the start of negotiations will be withdrawal from Kurskaya obl., as Russians did in 2022 with Kiev. To show the serious intentions, you know
Once that has happened the negotiations will drag out till 26 ;)
Again with these bot accounts. Russia didnt withrawl from the outskirts of Kiev to show good intentions. Their position was untenable. They overestimated their capabilites and had to dip out. Even russians acknowledge this. How hard to you have to cope to end up where you are right now
Russians know that it's just some forests. Kiev was the capital of Ukraine so it was kinda smart to pretend that you want to negotiate to relieve the capital.
Ukraine lost in Kursk region 490 tanks and "bradleys", 35 000 personnel, 304 artillery canons, 2000+ cars and armored vehicles.
Germans lost in Kursk 100 000 dead and 400 000 wounded and most of it's tanks. But mostly both of them lost in Kursk war
@@hekpacobctac616 Those numbers are off by a mile. You're so off it's funny. Also, you didn't mention that the russian recollection of the Kursk offensive during WW2 is also horribly wrong. Yes, the Wehrmacht lost the famous battle in Kursk but the russian losses were many times higher. Also, the amount of armor lost on German side was negligible. But if you want to lie to yourself and keep coping feel free to do so.

People in the "Collective West" don't understand the reason why all of this is happening. They speak about territoreal aspects, NATO enlargement and so forth. One of the main reasons of this war took place is the total descrimnation of Russian culture which is implemented in Ukranian jurisdictiion. It is prohibited to speak Russian language, to be an orthodox Christian on the lands, where you and your parents has spoken in Russian and being a Chrisiitan for hundreds of years.
See interview of Tucker Carlson with mister Lavrov. He specifically points out this problem and if we want a diplomatic resolvement of this crisis it needs to be addressed firsthand.
For me personally it is very strange that bloggers and opinion leaders don't talk about it in negotiation aspects perspective and put everything in territoreal wise settlement.
"We are deceiving ourselves and others when we pretend to have answers to the problems, which agitate many of these Asiatic peoples. Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3 of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships, which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security."

God bless you Willy, thank you for your efforts.
I am a white western but why do we have to be lords why can't every country have a vote and trade to whom you want
Because the West has nothing to trade. Everything they make is overpriced. The vast majority of their raw materials come from the global south and East, which in the old days they used to steal. The West is done.
I think the current system is required to enable the level of economic malfeasance the US engages in. In a world economy that is free and market based, our currency would be worthless.
Because the US has spent the last 100 plus years invading, interfering with, subverting, crushing, and destroying every country it possibly can to maintain and expand its hegemony and empire. The countries who have been bullied and terrorized by the US and survived know what is at stake if they don't fight back. The US has very much shaped the geopolitical order that currently exists, at the expense of the entire globe.
As a far I as I remember, the Russia set the conditions to the end of the war. What is the problem ?? No ifs, no buts, end of the story. Take it, or leave it ;-)

Keep strong, Willy!
There is no conceivable reason why the Russians would stop their advance for talks. They might talk while continuing to take more ground, but they have consistently said that they are only interested in permanent solutions, no ceasefires, no frozen conflict. The value of the Kursk incursion to Ukraine is 0.000. This latest one may break Ukraine completely.
actually Putin explicitly said that there will be no ceasefire for any peace talks. If I remember correctly he said that pre-conditions for any ceasefire is for Ukraine to withdraw forces from Kursk region and all the regions of Ukraine Russia laid claim on in their administrative borders. That means withdrawing troops from all of the Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhe.

There is a NATO defence ministers meeting at Ramstein on 9 January. The offensive is probably to create favourable headlines at least temporarily
Good on ya mate, appreciate your effort in keeping the community updated on russia-ukraine, especially thanks for the content daily! I hope your chemo is going well dude im rooting for you!! Stay strong man. Love from the US
Another PR stunt by the green goblin
200k subs😅
Congratulations willy
These Ukrainian columns was completely deleted yesterday, surprisingly easy. And by the way, power of electronic warfare was overblown yesterday by a couple of telegram channels, which, immediately was picked up by Ukrainian channels. In reality, everything was as usual.
Willy, chinese ambassador to Russia said a few days ago that it's about time to return Taiwan. It seems that Western information bubble is so thick that this statement didnt get through.
Love the Pin stripe suit Buddy... You will be in my prayers to get well soon.
I did agree but I have utmost respect for you. Thank you for your work
Disagree* with your conclusion but I highly respect your conclusion and commitment
We can keep speculating about this and that. But can we at least agree that this war is lost? There is no out of Kursk, there is nothing there. Why pour highly valuable resources into an area without anything in it but some trees and sticks. It's all PR and this tragedy and in my opinion prolonging this war is criminal on both sides.
Don't apologize, willy ,you are doing great
Ukraine just gained lots of Twitter points !
Wishing you the best with your kemo willy
its weird how so many are acting like negotiations are just a forgone conclusion the moment Trump comes into office. it really shows a complete lack of awareness of the Russian position in this conflict,
Though it will be interesting to see how the collective West reacts when Russia responds with a , "Nah ...We Good" and just carries on knocking the stuffing out of a weakened Ukraine when an invite to talks are given.
Thanks Willy
Hi Willy I’m fed up hearing about the rules based on world order ( why are the Europeans so obsessed about telling others how to live there lives ), the world is changing so the west better get use to it, the EU they are totally delusional about there power, most of there former colonies despise them deep down , they have just been waiting for a new non European power to emerge. Europeans need to change there attitudes before it is too late.
Yes, rules based order, not international recognised law. It's a ploy to remove checks and balances and enable unelected entities to dictate geo political economic issues.
@ I agree with you but there are a lot of sheep who just read tabloids etc who believe the MSM narrative as they have never been taught to question things, if the crowd is going in one way I always question it & i’m man enough to admit when I get it wrong because that’s how you learn.
@@markgayle5453 Yes, its unfortunate when (misguided) trust in MSM/ Govt or Authority is deliberately abused, esp if to usher in topics, issues, rules, policies etc not in the interests or common good of all but only a select few.
Boggles my mind the gaslighting people will continually put up with only because someone in authority, govt or on MSM says a thing must be so.
@@markgayle5453 Agreed. Seems my other longer reply got Shadowed.
Pity those with mis guided trust in MSM, Govt And Authority.
hope ur health gets better Mr. willy.
Willy we love your work, your health comes first anyway
Good shit thanks for the video
Best of luck with the chemo bruv.
The Western neocon governments in power across the NATO countries don’t need good news from the front in Ukraine in order to justify their escalations. In fact they’ve used the consistently bad news to justify their escalations. Public opinion in the Western countries is strongly opposed to escalations, but public opinion doesn’t matter to the neocons because they know that the only opinion that matters in that of the the imperial master across the ocean. The neocons know in any case that there is a permanent disconnect what the people want and what the ruling class wants, but the people don’t have any real power despite the illusion of democratic elections.
Good luck this afternoon
Hope all goes well today 🙏
Another War movie title: Attrition Now
PR victories without negotiations mean nothing, unless we think that the populations in Western democracies have any say in how much money is given to Ukraine etc (hint: they don't; see also Israel). The Viet Minh thought it was worth taking the French Dien Bien Phu forts only because they were in the middle of negotiations to end the war, and the victory tilted the negotiations in their favour. Kursk is just a meat grinder.
