Hearted Youtube comments on The Icarus Project (@icarusproject) channel.

  1. This fixes the security issues of the Baltic states

  2. Ahhh.. You missed how India paid Russia in Indian rupees, and the only way for Russia to use those Rupees is to invest in India - Russia got nothing.

  3. Maybe something to do with all those Belarussians training and fighting for Ukraine who intend to free Belarus too.

  4. I watched an interview of a Russian soldier who said he didn't want a toilet because he would have to clean it out every day. I'm pretty sure they don't know that you hook them up to this thing called "plumbing".

  5. I gotta say that this analysis exceeded my expectations. I like how you laid out various possibilities which were all quite plausible and compelling. Thank you.

  6. As a 16 year old swede who as many others has been worried for our countrys safety, seeing this video has took off a HUGE weight of my shoulders and has made me see this "conflict" or whatever you now call it in a VERY different way than i did about 30 minutes ago, Thank you.

  7. Counter proposal for Putin: Get out of Crimea and they'll let you keep St. Petersburg. It's no less reasonable than what he proposed.

  8. Happy new year from Sweden

  9. january 2022 : russia claimed to be the #1 military in the world. january 2023 : russia is shown to be the #2 military in Ukraine.

  10. Crazy to think some of those tanks in the black and white film of mass production may have been actually sent to Ukraine today.
    274
  11. I am an American and fully support Ukraine, but I have to say that my government has not helped Ukraine win this BS war. We have given them enough to hold on which has cost Ukraine tons of lives and equipment. And Europe is also responsible for this as well. It's time to start helping Ukraine with everything they need to WIN so that this war can be over with once and for all.

  12. When a advancing army completely stalls because logistics fail them running out of fuel clearly says incompetence or corruption is happening
    250
  13. This has been an excellent analysis and explanation to westerners unrealistic expectations of a fluid situation. I do not view this as a stalemate. BUT I do see more and more RU desperation. Thank you very much. Glory to Ukraine! and Condemnation to Russia!!!

  14. 05:49 The reason is, that Poland is a real pain for Russia. Without Polish help, Ukraine would have already fallen. It was Poland that at a crucial moment joined the game and showed the West the way, delivering heavy weapons to Ukraine, such as several hundred tanks and fighter jets, despite red lines and nuclear threats from Moscow. And the Russians have historical complexes, check out what anniversary they celebrate on Unity Day on 4th November. They probably remember the fall of communism and "Solidarity" well, too.

  15. Your cousin died doing what he believed in, fighting evil. I’m sorry for your loss.
    233
  16. I am Ukrainian, living 100km from the frontlines for 1 year. And i approve this video. 🤌
    231
  17. There's been a lot of doom and gloom regarding Ukraine recently. It's great to see a video on this. Btw, it is great to see you again.

  18. My family shares ownership of a private road. The government pays for the upkeep because it is between two main highways in the area and shortcuts a major intersection. You can literally drive a tank on it... which is why government pays for the upkeep.

  19. I loved this video!! It was extremely informative and well edited. There was only a small problem. The Icarus Project forgot to tell what happened to the 2 men that attempted to escape from Siberia. The two Siberian men succeeded!! They arrived in the St. Lawrence Island village of Gambell in Alaska on October of 2023. They spent three months in detention, then were released earlier this month in Washington state. Another beautiful story of determination! Against all odds, they succeeded in escaping from oppression and fascism.

  20. India was already looking to diversify weapons buys because they can't trust Russia when it comes to China. In a conflict between India and China, the best Delhi can hope for is that Moscow will sell to both sides. Worst case scenario, Russia decides their relationship with China is more important. The video does a good job explaining how buyers need to beware that Russia can't fulfill new contracts because it can't deliver the weapons. But you also have to consider existing and ongoing older contracts are also in trouble. Systems bought years ago and delivered need maintenance and spare parts. There's usually also planned refurbishments. None of Russia's old clients can expect Russia to deliver on these things. If you are country X armed with Russian equipment that might not have spare parts available and your neighbor (country Y) with whom you are not friendly has Western weapons for which they can get all the spares, upgrades, and repair services... You are now at a serious disadvantage.

  21. Correction: Tampons were not issued to Russian soldiers to stop up wounds. (They were told to buy them themselves or to get their girlfriends to send some.)

  22. This video is PERFECT for my children who are scared, really scared of Russia and war. We live in Sweden and I try every day to tell them we are safe but they don’t believe me. I think this can help so thx ❤.

  23. I love the way Ukraine literally troll Putin by tasking Belarusian battalion to defend Kiev. What's next? Poland change the name of Kaliningrad to Königsberg? Oh wait...
    165
  24. So many people are happy and welcoming to "us" makes me very happy as a Swede, thanks from me to all of you guys.

  25. To the general public, Russias military budget was 66 billion while Ukraines was 6 billion... I bet Ukraine spent more on their military.☺

  26. I see Russia myself many years before the full-scale invasion in 2022. I am Russian (to be precise, Chuvash) by my mother line, and partly Turkic Tatar from a distant Muslim uncle, though I was raised Catholic myself and still devote to it today. Given my Russian language knowledge, I know more about Russia from the inner. Russia is a very poor country, and almost everything is built to serve Moscow and St Petersburg. Nothing else came up good from it. There is an old quote by Lenin himself "Russia is a prison of nations". He was correct here.

  27. This reminds me a lot about China's defeat in the 1895 Battle of the Yellow Sea. The Chinese Government - under European advisers - spent a sizable amount to create a modern Navy, centered around several British and French designed warships and a local arsenal capable of making modern naval ammunition. Corruption ensured that only a few of the warships were actually built - without adequate armour-plate - and that the crew were very poorly trained. The Chinese "officers" gained their positions through influence, and never bothered acquiring any knowledge of the naval arts, the only capable crew being a handful of European contractors (mostly British and Scots) who were "kept out of the loop" regarding their own ships. When called on to fight the Japanese, it was discovered that the propellant charges and explosive shells were filled with sand , and the European manufactured armour piercing munitions were in such a poor state that most were useless. At least I understand in the subsequent disaster, the Japanese did pick up survivors...

  28. Thank you for making this. I've been following the war since day 1 and have immersed myself in everything I could find regarding it. I decided that your initial comments that "I would hear things I haven't heard elsewhere," were big words and I had doubts you'd be able to deliver. But you did. Much respect to you and naturally you've now gained a sub.
    138
  29. I'm sorry to hear that.Rest in Peace.

  30. Old habits die hard for Russian federation.

  31. Героям слава! 🔱

  32. Great way to put a comical spin on a terrible situation. Keep it up, man.👍
    125
  33. Ukrainian Warriors and President Zelensky, you amaze the World with your Courage, Strength and Determination... All it takes for Evil to win is for Good to do nothing. We can achieve anything when we all work together... God Bless Ukraine from the UK

  34. This is so good I have never seen a news channel using comedy and new so well together that I really laughed in it at the jokes. The explaining is also really good and uses very nice evidence and as a debater who always needs to find evidence and this uses it perfectly. GOOD JOB!! : D

  35. From PL: THANK YOU! This has been the overall position we have been pushing in the East / Baltic States since 2008! More recently with Finland and Sweden joining NATO. More examples are easy to provide along the way. 2023 was year where many "Westerners" were getting tired and cared more about a x% inflation rate whiles here in Eastern Europe were dealing with double digits PLUS the uncertainties of the ru invasion. ... But in 2024? You are 100% correct! This is taking a different flavor for many. And don't call us "war mongers" because this would be falling into the ru propaganda! Thank you Icarus!

  36. If ive learnt one thing from russia its that words mean nothing its their actions you watch! I wouldnt trust them or belarus until they leave or are pushed out of ukraine
    117
  37. Great explanation, I was born in Donetsk but was forced to leave my hometown because of russian occupation, I believe in coming back very soon, Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

  38. "Read the essay, and not the headlines about the essay." Exactly. People need to learn to read CAREFULLY and not just hurry through, seeing what they want to see. Smart people choose their words carefully, and we need to put as much care into understanding those words, otherwise we miss the actual meaning.

  39. Don’t interrupt your enemy, when they making a mistake as stated by Napoleon Bonaparte

  40. Russians inability to get future foreign arms sales means that Russia won’t be able to spread R & D costs over more units; therefore, individual unit cost will increase. The increased unit cost makes it easier for countries to choose another supplier.

  41. Love the clip of Stalin laughing 😂
    104
  42. I had a sort of vague notion of this idea rolling around in my brain. You laid it all out perfectly clear and concise. Really good video.
    104
  43. How harsh you are with the Russians... And you should be! ))) Greetings from the Ukraine!
    103
  44. We are all human and subject to error. I hope it won't destroy your faith in humanity, but I may have once made an error myself. You did make a very good video and I hope many watch it despite one mistaken choice of word. There is much wisdom here,

  45. Greetings from Latvia! I cannot agree more! Keep up good job

  47. Please do not forget this began in 2014.

  48. In the intercepted calls from Russian troops, one Russian guy is advising a buddy not to eat or drink any food or alcohol left in houses in Ukraine, and not to take any food from locals, saying a nice Ukrainian grandmother brought them baked goods that made 8 of them violently ill. And yes, Russia set them up for this, with Russian propaganda videos, touting that going to Ukraine is great, saying that Ukrainians would bring Russian troops gifts of fresh baked bread. They were partly right…it just had some extra ingredients.

  49. Honestly, that's one of the best politic videos that I've seen for a long time. As an ukrainian l can say that the author did good research and has a proper understanding of the situation in the country. (Thank you)
