Comments by "Anita K" (@Anita-k) on "LIBERATION of Kherson has Started. 25,000 Russians TRAPPED. Shoigu "Removed" / 08.29 Russia Ukraine" video.

I'm extremely impressed, how successfully Ukraine has managed to damage and at the very least partially destroy Russian supply chains with their admittedly somewhat limited options in almost surgical procedures. Can't wait for the lend-lease in October, although I'm still hopeful this war ends much earlier ... the US has already stated, that Ukraine gets the lend-lease weapons anyways and personally, I really don't need to see all the bloodshed happening.

Wait a moment, arresting 200 crypto-millionaires gives the Russian system a chance to squeeze money from them/their parents and to overall gain much more knowledge of the cryptocurrency market, which is important for a country under sanctions ... another YouTuber talked about Putin's cronies allegedly investing in crypto a while ago and this just came back to my mind now. That's not good at all, imagine the summary of money they can make of 200 of them ... while these fools tried to make Russia look cool, they ran into their cleptomaniac government's trap big time! Feel free to dęlęte this, I don't want to give them any ideas but that's very alarming.

Sometimes I'm really surprised, how people come up with their ideas, like these rich kids with flashy cars/clothes in RRP. I wonder, if they're also creating all those fake threads using hundreds of fake accounts, where they're recommending unknown broke untalented brokers/scammers.

8:43 The removal of Shoigu... I researched that Shoigu guy on Wikipedia &co several months ago and he has NEVER spent a day in the Russian army himself, so I was wondering, WHY on earth would Putin make him one of the most important faces of his "special masochistic operation"/war to begin with? & My best guess is, Putin needed at least one potential fall guy in his circles, just in case something goes totally wrong with the war. Although I'd be very surprised to learn, there aren't some much more capable high ranking Russian military higher ups, bc I try to never underestimate the enemy too much.

That's hard to sell though, maybe you're forgetting about the Russian doctrine regarding self defence/nuclear weapons, saying they'll use them if under attack inside Russian borders. Which then turned into a discussion, where these "Russian borders" really are, as Russians look at this differently (they include the occupied territories, westerners don't) and in war borders are changing every once in a while...

@ivansmirnov7342 @Ivan Smirnov You wrote: Well they tried to bløck "some" VPN and it still works. Not right out of the box but still. It's when they'll start prosecuting people for using them, that's when we'll have real problems. Blocking YouTube would be a stupid move. Besides, they don't really have any legal reasons to do that. Also they don't want to anger the crowd too much. & Getting rid of this app is sure to anger a lot of people. (end) I don't know, what exactly got your comment dęlęted - it could be your location, it could be YouTube kęyword filters and AI censørship, or something I don't know (they may also start to go after my beloved "alphabet camouflage" now) - I kept your original meaning and worded some things differently, to get through all of this nonsense; if yours is still visible, please feel free to compare it. ... The problem is, it's starting to get really really bad on both sides here on YouTube. & If you haven't noticed it yet, we're suffering from a huge "dęlęted comments problem" here ... never seen threads saying something like "10 replies" and you can only find 4-6 of them left? This isn't only frustrating, it stops communication almost entirely, bc most users just give up on that specific thread/topic. I'll stop now and look what happens. & PLEASE, to make it a bit easier: Don't reply to dęlęted comments that doesn't show up in the open thread, take a previous one if possible, make a copy of your texts and double-check, if your comment shows up in the thread!

That's the weirdest logic to me. :D

I'd argue, there's certainly several types of Russian propaganda: 1) for the Russians inside Russia 2) for the Russians outside of Russia, disguised as western news 3) for the west 4) for all the countries they want to influence in the future for different reasons 5) your typical information overload for everybody who's easy to confuse/distract. & Maybe I missed something. But that's, how I'd organize a propaganda/information war on different channels of course.

@ivansmirnov7342 Don't worry, Ivan! General Shoigu will most likely NOT disappear from his public persona duties, bc everybody in Russia and the west is used to seeing him on tv I guess, he just may no longer be in command of the Russian troops. Isn't this how Putin handles such controversial scenarios?
1
@attilamarics4808 I don't even want to pretend to have any evidence, bc I have none whatsoever. Source is British intelligence service I believe, which is considered to be an "unfriendly country" in Russia and I did some research myself into Shoigu several months ago, turned out he's never spend a day in the Russian military. So why would Putin make him the face of the "special military operation", except for having a fall guy? You tell me, please!
1
@ivansmirnov7342 Was just kidding about "not worrying about losing Shoigu". :D Putin certainly has more individuals than Shoigu as fall-guys in his circle of military generals, he can put the blame onto, in case something goes wrong for whatever reason. Actually I'm more worried about rumours of YouTube getting blocked in Russia soon, bc this would completely interrupt communications between the western and the eastern viewers ... and no matter, which side we both are on, this would be another step into isolating us average people from talking to each other and comparing online information. VPNs are also getting frowned upon in Russia now, so I'm curious, how many Russians will still be able to access YouTube in the future, if this really happens.
1
@attilamarics4808 Wow, I didn't expect the source to be Russian, that's super-interesting and I wonder about the intentions behind this opinion article, do you have any ideas?
1
@steveosborne2297 You said: "Quite a few of top Russian generals are just political appointments with no military service". I've no idea why your comment got dęlęted by YouTube tbh. But I agree that's entirely logical.
1
@ivansmirnov7342 I understand... & Coming back to the previous topic, they only have to change the laws even further. They learned, it didn't cause an uproar when they replaced certain apps (FB, etc), declared them to be "demønic" and created new ones ... the majority just went along. Not sure this'll happen to YouTube as well, but how would average Russians react? (My guess is, the same would happen).
1
@attilamarics4808 Geez, same happened to your reply (read my other replies in the thread please)! To spare myself to type your comment as well, let's just say some want escalation, bc this sums it up perfectly. We ran into each other before and back then I thought you dęlęted your own comments, I'm so sorry! I've been communicating a lot with pro-Russian/Russian commenters and having to collaborate to dupe YouTube is the most ironic part to me, tbh. 🤣 What's the real reason for wanting escalation though? Do Russians give up on life or are they sooo convinced to win?
1
@ivansmirnov7342 Man, you're making it really hard for me here! At the very least make a copy for yourself, so that you know what I'm replying to! I don't think, the FB exclusion was made to allow "hątę speęch" at all ... I think, it was made to allow on-going conversations to continue and it turned sour due to the "special military operation". I know, most Russians use Telegram and VK instead and it makes sense to me; bc especially Telegram is well-known to NOT give out information to Russian or American courts EVER so far. As for YouTube, there's no real alternative (yet), basically it's huge entertainment everywhere. Actually it feels, Putin's propaganda is using it against the west, so you could be perfectly right.

@ivansmirnov7342 I'm eternally grateful your comment is showing up this time, thank you SO very much! & You're right, I can still access your replies, if I didn't dęlęte the notifications after replying - to GIVE THE ALGORITHM MORE SPACE FOR ALLOWING MORE REPLIES INTO MY NOTIFICATIONS, which I just discovered, haven't fully figured out yet and could be totally wrong about* - however, you're still perfectly right, I also have the replies in my emails and up to ~2 weeks ago, I could make a copy of the dęlęted comments there, to bring them back into the thread for better context and now this option isn't possible any longer, bc YouTube cancelled it; so I feel really defeated at the moment. 😭 & Yes of course I can make a short summary or quote what I'm replying to, however everything's getting more and more complicated and I'm sure you can also see the problem of making conversations as time-consuming and frustrating as possible for everybody here. But if it's better for your safety to have no comments showing up (which is understandable), then I'll deal with that. I fully agree to YouTube being a great source of information, it has become more important than main stream media for the most part ... actually most don't trust official media anymore and for everybody it's a different point in time this feeling had started; so yes, YouTube's highly important. (Admittedly I still need to look into what this FB exception was about ... I'm not a social media user at all). * Actually I'm still experimenting around, if dęlęting old notifications makes much sense.
1
@ivansmirnov7342 "YouTube doesn't like me" ... Idk, I felt the same for a while, til I started avoiding censørship, made copies, etc. Could it also be your profile picture? Mainstream media feels false even if true: Hahaha, I feel the same!
1
@ivansmirnov7342 I agree with you, they'd just remove your YouTube account, if this were about profile pictures! When I wrote this I forgot completely, that I had repeatedly seen commenters with swastika profile pictures* recently and they were NOT removed - in case you don't know, swastikas are forbidden in Germany as well as in my country (Austria) for good reason - and although I don't know how to feel about seeing those pictures so often, it's likely the better option for YouTube to be tolerant, as it doesn't mean to accept it or approve of it. * Half of them pro Russian commenters, the other pro Ukrainians mocking each other; so there's obviously a "swsatika-war" going on at the moment. 🤣 This brings me back to YouTube's kęyword filters and AI censørship - I recently researched the "dęlęted comments problem" for hours and ALL sides were complaining about getting dęlęted, so it's likely NOT a political thing - and knowing YouTube lives from advertisers, it's more likely their AI-computer is suffering from a "bug" in the meantime, caused by different huge advertising companies requesting conflicting favours/inputs into the AI over the past years, before investing into expensive advertising-campaigns on YouTube; this theory made the most sense to me, (although I could be wrong of course). Thank you for being so reasonable and well-balanced in your understanding, despite your profile picture! ;-)

With almost everybody helping, preparing Molotov cocktails and whatnot from day 1, it's more of a "holistic warfare", although I don't know for sure, if this term already exists. I should look that up.

John Grigg Isn't this the mostly overlooked truth! 🤣🙃🤣

@JamesC785 Wow, you know a lot more about tactical nukes as I do! Idk, if Putin will still be able to decide, where to throw them though, bc other occupied territories are also starting to kick the Russians out as we speak, like e.g. Azerbaijan/Armenia and Israel attacked a certain spot in Syria. Chechnya, Georgia and even Japan could follow suit and take advantage of Putin's weakness ... maybe that's already the start of the Russian government collapsing? They're certainly losing more power by the day - making me worried they might kidnap the UN Zaporozhzhia visitors to have more leverage - I never had a good gut feeling about that visit tbh; Russia's promises have been broken WAY too often! PS. Thank you so very much! As a not native English speaker this truly means a lot to me!

@JamesC785 The use of nuclear weapons would definitely be totally su1c1dal for Russia, as well as blowing up the Zaporozhzhia nuclear power plant, or even just causing an "accident" there ... I bet 99,999% of the world's population had never heard of the Zaporozhzhia nuclear power plant before, as long as it's been safely in Ukraine's hands and the wind would almost certainly blow nuclear clouds to Russia and Belarus, too. So I see most of their nuclear threats as very desperate attempts to be taken more seriously, but they only accomplish the opposite reaction from the west; and they should stop blaming Ukraine for the Zaporozhzhia situation, bc nobody believes them and even China showed disapproval, disgust and concern only towards Russia cause of their military equipment storage in Zaporozhzhia, mining it and using it as a shield. Pretty much nobody's ever been interested in Russian territory since WW2, (maybe I missed some insignificant details, but I mean for the most part they're just paranoid), nobody wants this war to escalate into a WW3 scenario and/or a nuclear disaster. I believe, Russia could theoretically also mean the use of so called "tactical nuclear weapons*", when threatening nuclear strikes, as most people aren't aware, there're (at least) 2 different types of nuclear weapon systems. * Tactical nuclear weapons are less radioactive, they're mainly aimed at destroying infrastructure like e.g. electric power lines, internet towers, water supply and traffic signs/signals (all working with computer-systems), etc... They cause an unimaginable chaos in the country affected, but they're much less lethal, at least that's how I understood the topic's descriptions, hopefully my explanation here is correct, I still need to look into all of this a bit deeper. admittedly. I'm also not sure, when the use of tactical nuclear weapons is justified according to the Russian doctrine, (it's not a very well-known topic at all), usually everybody just thinks about Hiroshima/Nagasaki types of nuclear bombs.

@TheRussianDude Yeah I likely got a bit too worried when I wrote that, I'm a "negative thinker" especially when it comes to people, I prefer getting positively surprised in life. Interestingly Ukraine is different, these courageous guys and girls will win! Overall it depends on how someone looks at the crypto-market - imo it's likely crashing completely :D and due to the overall circumstances it'll likely become a lot more regulated in the future - so YES, it's a good thing! I didn't immediately think about that economic part of this.
