  1.  @ptonpc  And Russian people were educated to believe that it was their valorous fighting that pushed back the Nazis, not any massive material aid from the Allies. The role of the Allies is not much mentioned in Russian history. (the book "Stalin's War" has some good detail on this)

  2.  @cheshirecat7289  Russia already showed the world what you do when some enemy pulls a surprise Barbarossa-type operation on your county. Did Stalin tell the Russian people to lay down their arms and start learning German? Hell no. Did he try to leave? No, he got on the phone and told Roosevelt to send him more ammo. My how history repeats.

  3. Remember when they stole those expensive new John Deere combines in the first year of the 3-day SMO, and laboriously hauled them ~700 miles to Chechnya, only to find out that Deere corporate had remotely disabled them?

  4. Zelinskyy is welcomed everywhere as a hero. Putin is like a bad smell.

  5. Man, did this guy step up to the plate or what? He'll be famous for "I won't want a ride out, I want ammo!"

  6. Meanwhile, across the border to the east, it will look as if nothing has been washed or repaired since Nikita's era.

  7.  @thechancellor3715 Also the resource base of the USSR (from which people and materials could be drawn) was quite a bit larger than what Russia is today. Plus a truly astounding amount of material aid they received from America during WW2.

  8. For many years, the phrase "Napoleon complex" has been used to describe a short man who over-compensates by excessive and unnecessary aggression towards others. In the future, this may be renamed the Putin Complex.

  9.  @djsaoirse1981  Russians are being kicked out of Ukraine as we speak. How about we revisit this topic in six months?

  10. That's a society that hasn't changed much in the last few hundred years. They were dragged, kicking and screaming, into industrialization, but the serf mentality is little changed from centuries ago.

  11. Russians appear not to have learned anything since 1945 when, drunk and disorganized, they pushed back a retreating enemy that had run out of fuel (and everything else) and was getting heavily attacked on the western front. This isn't that kind of scenario.

  12. That is up to the people of Ukraine to decide in an election. But yes, he's doing an excellent job. He and Putin have switched roles, too, as one is now a national leader while the other is a comedian.

  13. Abrams and Leopards will be very hungry in the spring .. and they kill enemy stuff from 3km+ at night, beyond the Soviet ability to see or hear, and while moving. The record for a good Abrams fire team is two kills in less than 7 seconds - from the same tank!

  14. The US state department strongly discourages Americans from going there, and has for awhile told any Americans there to leave ASAP. Who wants to get the Britney Greiner treatment anyway?

  16. To our friends in Ukraine - we got your back. The whole West stands with you. We will send more missiles and longer-range ones. From America with love 👍

  17. @don s Kremlin trolls are even more inept than their military forces, and that's saying a lot.

  18. The idea of friendly cooperation with your neighbors is entirely foreign to them.

  19.  @mis4nthr0p3  No doubt, it was beginning to make Ruzzia look bad when folks would cross the border into Ukraine and find a more prosperous, democratic, European-aligned country right next door. And Pootin just could not abide it.

  20. And yet, notice how Ivan kept his antiquated air weaponry out of the area when US president Biden was visiting. Very smart.

  21. Some of us do not forget. There was also the NATO-Russia Founding Act of 1997, in which both the US and Russia agreed that the newly independent parts of the former USSR were free to choose their own paths, whether it be aligning one way or the other, or doing something else entirely.

  22. The Hague keeps hot spare accommodations for those committing crimes against humanity.

  23. These "meanwhile in Russia" series videos are hilarious! Keep up the good work, guys :)

  24.  @billy2807  Excellent math. At the rate they are "taking over" Ukraine (roughly 1/5 territory seized so far) it will take them more than 10K days and will cost them approximately 2.5 million troop losses, 32K tanks lost, 60K armored combat vehicles lost, 2800 air defense systems lost, and so on.

  25.  @Disorder2312  Re "If you pretend to be on a good side, you shouldn't аttасk anyone." << Precisely. Now can someone hop in a time machine and go back to January 2022 to explain this to Putler?

  26. "An inadequate drunk neighbor with grenades" -- perfect! 😅

  27. All we need now is a big guy in a helmet, with a backpack so that Putin can ride on his shoulders.

  28. Gone are the days when every international rescue team would be flying in quickly to help. All for a last hoo-raw playing at 1800s style colonialism with a neighboring nation :(

  29. The last time Russia got invaded, the West lend-leased them an incredible amount of arms, combat vehicles, supplies, weapons, fuel, uniforms, etc. That enormous supply is what made it possible for Russia to turn around the invasion. It would seem they're not in line for any such blessing this time.

  30. Like it said in that book "Ecocide in the USSR" (Murray Fessbach, 1993) the idea of drinking less vodka seems like a waste of self-control when the city puts homes and schools right next to a giant industrial plant belching green smoke into the air constantly.

  31. @de caesaris Russia was also a signatory to the 1997 NATO-Russia Founding Act, which states that the former Eastern Bloc nations are free to choose their own political destinies. In hindsight, it would seem the Russian negotiators assumed that the former Soviet satellites would come running back to them shortly. Umm, no.

  32. Russian army is well-known around the world for its treatment of women.

  33. That was a good video from Beau. This mission now has a name, which we don't know but which is probably Ukrainian Shield. Russia should pray that it doesn't become Operation Ukrainian Storm ;)

  34. Russia had every opportunity to learn how to be part of the modern world. Instead, all they do is reminisce about the days of heavy-handed thuggery over the SSR's.

  35. Actually the winter has been unusually warm, fighting has continued, NATO has agreed to send even more stuff, and Putin's desire to freeze out Europe isn't working out at all. Ukrainian soldiers get the very best high-tech wintertime kit available to the west.

  36. Much respect from the USA. We will send you more missiles. We got your six 👍

  37. "Seeing normal appliances for the first time in a foreign country" -- truly, Russia is the Idaho of Asia.

  38. They will be a major new player in NATO someday too. A strong place like Germany or Poland.

  40. Rostov too historically belonged to Ukraine. That should be part of the reparations too.

  41. Russia whining that NATO is "encroaching" is like a serial arsonist whining that more people are buying automatic sprinkler systems 😅

  42. I see you know how the bureaucracy works over there.

  43. There should be fireworks to celebrate Ukraine independence .. stuff in Russia should go boom.

  44. Happy Independence Day! You make the rest of us very proud :)

  45. You could say that Russia has a superiority complex based on an inferiority complex.

  46. They want Americans to see what they can do to them - really bad cooking? Wtf? And 1951 called, they want that haircut back 😅

  47. Kind of surprising they had not been doing this all along, since Soviet times.

  48. The F15 is old but still very much a F-U kind of aircraft.

  49. And it's going to get worse before it gets better.

  50. Meanwhile, Ukraine learns 5GW and improvises the weapons systems of a dozen western nations. Ivan will continue to be befuddled.
