  1. "You have the watches, but we have the time." -Taliban soldier But now the Taliban has had to make the switch from an insurgency to a counter insurgency. They have to remain united, which was easy when there was one common enemy. Now they fracture along ideological lines. They now lack both the watches and the time.

  2.  @perc7226  Proof it.

  3. Officers run the army. Privates do not.

  4.  @gvibration1  That still does not mean Russia did anything in its history all on its own.

  5. Considering Republican narratives about dimentia this statement can be interpreted either way by Americans

  6. What a sad attempt at playing the victim after invading a country and commiting war crimes. Deny the the right of self determination of one country and you may do it to any country.

  7. No, the argument stands. Saying you will not uphold article 5 for an invalid reason undermines NATO.

  8. Building a military takes time. Russia plans to rebuilt its forces. We must be ready for them if and when they do.

  9.  @bighillraft  That would be Gotland.

  10. Russia can't stop it.

  11.  @lhng7605  Then why did they win? The coalition left primarily because the USA did not want to sustain the war effort for another decade. In other words, time drove them out. Way to misunderstand the quote.

  12. The "crushing" of their power refers to making it impossible for Russia to project power. Nobody is talking about destroying their navy. Your inability to understand metaphors or his overall argument is the real problem.

  13. "Brings terrorists"? What nonesense is that? That implies they aid them. Utter nonesense. You understand very little about politics and instead use accusatory language. Bullying gets you nowhere. This is not an elementary school.

  14. Swedes were asked. A country can only join NATO with popular support.

  15. Exactly. Some people in this comment section are not just wrong but blatantly so.

  16. Another coping Russian that is upset that the only frontline changes in the last two months was Russia getting pushed out of Kharkiv.

  17. You have no real argument as what you say is complete incoherent nonsense. This is just sad. Your historical argument completely ignores today's situation and some countries having disputes with the US has no relationship to NATO. All countries you named ratified Finland's and Sweden's entry into the alliance. So what is the point with you bringing up disputes as if they are relevant let alone significant for the topic at hand?

  20. Where did Bolsenaro go? Did he lose his elections?

  21. Claims made without evidence can be refuted without evidence.

  22. Where did Kherson go Boris?

  23. Russia is a joke. Take one look at the Gulf War and see how military doctrines ought to work.

  25.  @FarticusSnottington  The War is older than his profile. He is probably a troll

  26.  @Fellow_Traveller1985  Imperialists like you are to be ignored. Nobody cares about your empty bluster.

  31. A fairly selective reading.

  32. I highly disagree. The claims made about Poland's wealth surpassing that of the UK is false. I think he meant PPP per capita, but that was far from what he said. "Powerhouse" is a hyperbole.

  33.  @perc7226  DEFCON levels are not publically disclosed until after the fact. You can't and don't know what the current DEFCON level is.

  38. "How dare you highlight our war crimes!!"

  39. Your victim complex about your sovereignty at the beginning of your rant is noted, but might I point out Poland chose to join the EU.

  40. Are you projecting Vatnik? We don't sell off our weapons and fuel before invading a country. Now help your oligrachs built another yacht.

  41. "Just" throwing their lives away?

  42. Blatant lie

  43. Another coping Russian that is upset that the only frontline changes in the last two months was Russia getting pushed out of Kharkiv. Also Putin stated the goals on multiple occasions and then moved the goalpost.

  44. Imagine ignoring Finlandisation and still pretending you're an IR scholar.

  45. Pretty sure they were already doing that.

  46. Since this video was released Russia has had a large net loss of territory.

  47. Oh god, I can see Russia pays its trolls less. Their quality has dropped significantly.
