  1. Good to see a video pointing out some of the smaller countries contributions.

  2.  @jimohara  I think they are still on non lethal aid but an army need medical supplies as well as guns.

  3. Whats been sent is no where near making Ukraine well equipped even if it hadn't been used. Maybe $10bn has been sent, the UK spends that every year on kit.

  4.  @brothermaynard3200  I think its about showing unity so covering a selection of less obvious supporter. We know Australia will be at our back.

  5. It's only actually fighting Ukraine. The few billion in aid is nothing compared to the hundreds of billions those countries spend on there own militaries or even the tens of billions Russia spends.

  6. What your actually seeing is a move to heavier weapons systems. And while it maybe straining some countries the US has even left first gear.

  7. Defend from who, because the only realistic threat is Russia and the artillery is going to fight Russia. And they'd have to get through Poland and Germany to reach you.

  8. You say those numbers like they were large in the context of WW2, something like 50x that number of Civilians were killed by the Japanese.

  9.  Lee Ellak  Do you think Chinese and Russian intelligence services are so incompetent they need to get there info from You tube?

  10. Not sure it worth the risk at the moment when Ukrainians can pop over the border for training and we can provide intelligence remotely.

  11. There are lots of Russian troops in Ukraine to being going at for a long time yet.

  12.  @ape72patch1  by that point Russia's lost, and are just burning there own money.

  13. This isn't a US war.

  14. That means its not a world war, supplying arms is unusual in a conflict.

  15. It's no longer a day by day war, may be not even a week by week but a month by month war.

  16. This is more a video covering to less well covered countries, my experience is Poland's contribution is second only to the US in publicity, precisely because they've been fast and strong in there commitment.

  17. Neither. An acceptable peace. Surrender is the quickest peace, I wouldn't want that for my country so I wouldn't expect that from Ukrainians.

  18. Not agreeing with something is different to not having a say. Do you vote, are you able to protest? That's where you have a say.

  19. Most of the countries listed at the start weren't covered.

  20.  @brothermaynard3200  you tube is a short format.

  21. It's not to end it at any cost, that is done simply with surrender.

  22. Russia held part of North Ukraine and has now retreated.

  23. It happened all throughout the cold war.

  24. The current Russian government is there enemy, the only question is how best to deal with it.

  25. The US contribution has already been covered in other videos

  26. Would you not fight for your country?

  27. Long term that's the case, short term they are often being trained out of country by people who know the systems.

  28. Except it only country actually fighting is Ukraine and the kit sent doesn't even come to a years spending by Dutch, never mind Russia.

  29. You know they invaded months ago?

  30. The biggest is likely intelligence. Satellites over head, AWACS near the border and spy networks crunching the data.

  31. It might be bigger but it doesn't dwarf it with the whole of Europe being a similar size economy to that of the US and it's Europe that's looking after the millions of refugees.

  32. There is efforts to defend Odessa and in fact they are trying to push back to Kherson. Mariupol is heavily surrounded and with lots of troops in the area, it simply isn't militarily possible to reach.

  33. As Russia you would chose to escalate the war to dozens more countries (and much better armed countries) when your struggling with one?

  34.  @David-il9xw  Your saying your not rational?

  35.  @David-il9xw  You led with if "I" was Russia? Was the rational/butcher comment just random

  36. South Korea is generally more neutral and concerned with North Korea.

  37. By supplying weapons destroying Russian kit?
    1
  38.  @TheLastCrumb.  You will see the type of weaponry being supplied is changing with heavier and more advanced kit being sent. That is because early in the war there was a genuine fear Ukraine would simply be overrun and like you are thinking Russia would be able to claim what was supplied. Since Russia was stopped outside Kyiv and has pulled back from the north along with a clear willingness of Ukrainians to fight a Ukrainian collapse is no longer a worry, instead Russia is looking to carve off part of Ukraine with the question being how much.

  39. Any swift Russian victory is over, if Russia do win it will be a very slow grind.
