Comments by "Stephen Hill" (@stephenhill545) on "Russia vs. Ukraine: Who is better equipped for the winter war? | To the Point" video.
@randomguy7175 I didn't support the 2nd Iraq, war, and nor did the 2,000,000 marchers in London. You can't do that in Russia.

Napoleon' grand army wasn't mainly defeated by the russian winter, but the typhoid epedemic which killed half of its troops, 250,000, in summer 1812.

@515coldfire Gorbachev says nato eastward expansion was never discussed. I trust him a lot more than a serial liar like putin.

@Truthorfib Russia has a bigger fascist problem than any country I know. They literally sit around discussing which countries deserve to exist. We won't talk about the imperial russian legion and wagner (clues in the name) because I know you don't want thd readers to know that these are both fighting on ukraine and are far-right entities.

@billnikola2463 vangarians, hint. Duchy of Muscovy, hint. 18, century name change, hint.

@petertwiss4215 it could send ukraine the 3 patriot systems like Poland asked it to. Russia will escalate as and when it feels like anyway. .

@annetteschneider2301 yep. Isn't war so glorious.

@auggievu2972 you forget the issue of the Russian elites fearing the repercussions of full mobilisation, which they do.

@mondo_stunts27 really? Not what Russians I know say.

@gerhardformetoknow6493 that will be a surprise. The Russians don't know about that themselves.

@kaloyantodorov9063 ukraine has been given more modern antitank weapons by its friends than there are tanks in the world.

@viaceslavmikhailovich9825 alas the training is outdated.

@drakelang8342 he can't equip and train them. The weakness of the Russian economy will be the decisive factor, as it was in ww1 and the crimean war. The USSR had a GDP of 12,4 tr. dollars, Russia 1.4. This is why, by the way, Russia doesn't have an empire anymore. Reality check: Europe has 12x the economic strength and 5x the population of Russia. Your war is an illusion.

@Josh93B93 except ukraine has been given more At weapons than there are tanks in the world. Strange, but true.

@Josh93B93 this tactic has literally never worked. You really think it will work with the toughest nation in europe, the ukranians.

@frantad945 putin doesn't really have a manpower advantage. He darent risk mobilising as much as ukraine is for internal political reasons. Plus Russia also doesn't have that many young people. The birthrate was extremely low in the 90s. It is a very old population.

@Thinkingaroundthebox a lot of the tanks sent to them are upgraded first.

@pecadodeorgullo5963 nobody has ever done anything as barbaric and evil as that to a country before, but it won't work because russia doesn't have enough missiles to keep destroying the electricity grid. At one point the attacks will have to stop.

@kokomo9764 you need proper clothing, no matter where you are from, or you get frostbite at best.

@Truthorfib Russia is the only European country not to decolonise. Buratia and Yakutia for example.

Their losses were double those of Germany; not a luxury they can afford this time round.
