  1.  @cantiaci  Oh and which decriminalized domestic violence last year. I mean seriously WTF? It’d be one thing if they had no laws on the books about it, but to proactively pass laws to protect wife beaters?! Again, WTF is wrong with that country.

  2. Great points about the weak responses to the routine attacks on hospitals.

  3. Unless this would open the floodgates for other countries to send tanks, a bunch of old, decent Soviet tanks is much more useful than 10 great tanks that cannot be maintained .

  4. I don’t appreciate Slovakia’s contribution very much anymore. They made a profit.

  5.  @dearmas9068  Slovakia has been good. So, I’m not saying they’re not good. Just that it wasn’t like it cost them anything. The package from the US includes all the training too.

  6.  @forresta65  I am assuming he’s referring to Russian scraping the barrel for recruits and equipment. However, in this case, he would be wrong. Russia has put their best units and equipment in Kherson.

  7. So, basically they’re patting themselves on the back for changing the pledged artillery from 1m to 500k per year…

  8. It’s a sign of their desperation. It’s a good thing.

  9.  @Anthonythumb 🤫shhh, we’re all supposed to think they won WWII and they were the saviors of Europe. 🤦‍♂️

  10.  @pynn1000  The podcast is free. I listened on Friday. My point is why not just upload it at the same exact time. Some days they do do that.

  11. Francis completely misunderstood Kadyrov’s comments. He was literally doing the exact opposite of criticizing Putin. Rather he was deflecting blame away from him by saying he would make sure Putin learned what the military leadership wasn’t telling him about the war if immediate changes weren’t made and results achieved. Basically, he was putting out the idea that others were in charge of the army’s bad decisions/results while the reality is that Putin has gotten more into making strategic/tactical decisions himself).

  13. Their support has been so pathetic that the UK gave up Belgium giving promised artillery systems and literally bought + sent them to 🇺🇦. But from what I understand, this in large part down to political divide similar to the one in the US. The population is divided into two camps that hate one another and makes passing anything incredibly difficult.

  14. @ Basic Bot approach: boldly state ludicrous lies and hope to fool the most uneducated of YouTube viewers.

  15. Lol, the Germans have nothing to give. They always counted on America saving them again if anything happened.

  16. Zero Russian civilians killed via drone. So, I think they’re being pretty careful in their targeting of gov buildings, weapons factories, military facilities, oil facilities, etc. The fact that there’s been far more celebration & laughter at the drones bothering Russian elites + they’ve elicited anger at the Kremlin rather than backlash against 🇺🇦 by Muscovites + Russians alike shows 🇺🇦 is being judicious/clever in its campaign.

  17. Shuster is a transparently pro-Russian asset. I mean the guy literally taunted people on Twitter about being able to use rubles in Crimea back in 2015. He also said over & over again 🇷🇺 will never attack 🇺🇦

  18. There is a coalition of corrupt politicians in the West owned by Russian hydro carbon money who have successfully scared a cowardly demographic scared of their own shadow paired with ultra right wingers and an equally clueless demo of people who say supporting Ukraine is costing them money that should be spent at home (a 100 reasons why that argument makes no sense) that thrive on the anti-escalatory argument/excuse. It’s all absurd and devoid of logic.

  19. France can say what they want, but tiny Lithuania has given more in military aid to Ukraine despite an economy 64x smaller. Embarrassing.

  20. Macron is a huge international affairs dilettante as he wants to be in the history books. He quickly lost interest in 🇺🇦 when he realized he wasn’t going to become legendary for convincing Putin to end the war overnight. Macron is now dreaming of somehow achieving a detente in the ME so he can be hailed a hero for his amazing skills of statesmanship.

  21. Putin is panicking when he has a perfectly good offramp. He can go back to driving taxis like he did when the Soviet Union collapsed.

  22. They bombed us. We didn’t want to go to war with them. And now look. Because both countries are sane, we’re close allies helping each other prosper. Who did Russia ever help prosper? Oh right...nobody.

  23. Grippens are the only realistic option. They can land anywhere and can be maintained by an absolutely tiny crew that can be trained in just weeks. F16 requires an army of people, a huge logistics tail, smooth runways, etc.

  24. It is strategic. There is only one other bridge that can be used to safely transport supplies to Crimea.

  25.  @harryhole5786  France has given $580 million worth of aid. Germany has given $18.1 BILLION. 🇫🇷 is just angry called Scholz called France (Spain too) for doing next to nothing.

  26. The most dangerous aspect of Trump and Le Pen is the possibility both could withdraw from NATO (basically destroying it) and Trump could outright say he wouldn’t do anything if Russia used nukes on Ukraine.
    2
  27. That’s what they are or will be getting, but the Grippen would have made so much more sense. The Grippen was built for exactly the type of situation Ukraine is in terms of ability to land on roads, dirty strips, etc. and simple maintenance requirements and an easy platform to learn to maintain.

  28.  @sebastianforbes1 Economic aid for one. Every dollar they don’t need to spend on everyday items like servicing debt or infrastructure = $ they can invest in the war.
    2
  29. Operation Interflex, the EUMAM and some other much smaller programs are slated to do so much training between winter and spring. Up to 55,000 soldiers. The only negative is that Ukraine command overestimated the degradation of Russian forces when Kherson fell and withdrew too many soldiers too quickly to Europe and paid for it.

  30. Best Simpsons newspaper headline ever.

  31.  @burritosls  BTW, from Russia’s own pathetic news: “By the end of 2022, Russia has returned to the top 10 largest economies in the world, according to the calculations of the World Bank. The volume of our GDP amounted to $2.3 trillion, and this is the 8th place in the global table of ranks.” - May 8th, 2023

  33. While this a joke or lie, they’ll eventually get there. Not ideal though.

  34. Galeotti gets everything right except his assertion that Prigozhin couldn’t have taken Moscow. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of why the “mutiny” was succeeding let alone the conceit that police garrisons could have easily dealt with Prigozhin’s air and land forces. Oddly, one of the very reasons it was no means a forgone conclusion that Prigozhin would be stopped is the very thing he says himself, which is that if no one wants to commit to getting involved then it doesn’t matter what military assets Moscow had at its disposal or how superior he believed them to be.

  35. The blockade is just a couple highly bribed (by the FSB) trucker union bosses and muscle. The vast majority of Polish truckers don’t believe in their cause.

  36. Beyond that Trump vetoed a bill to close the border, now says he wants to be friends w/Xi + doesn’t care about Taiwan (a war there would make the 2008 crash look like a fond memory) and wants to pull out of NATO despite all but three members (Canada, tiny Belgium + Portugal) now having met spending requirements or passed legislation to meet it.

  37. How long are we going to operate on this assumption/belief that the Ukraine war is actually the primary contributor to inflation? More like a smoke screen for the primary causes.

  38. If I were this f*t f*ck, I’d be doubly embarrassed my name was Heffer. Harry is an embarrassment, but what about Andrew? I think his behavior is a little bit more reprehensible. As for heffer, I’d ashamed to be a leech living off the royals tabloid ecosystem.

  39. I find it sickening that Europe is basically exporting more to Russia than ever (based on the data of trade w/Russian aligned CA states) and it shows that the West is too greedy and corrupt to stem this flow. When exports jump 1,100% to Kyrgyzstan, the companies, regulators, etc. know where all the goods are going. The fact that individual citizens have given more $ than our governments collectively shows how much more seriously the people take this war than our “leaders.”

  40.  @samsungtap4183 Also, your stats are garbage: 49% of Ukrainian grain goes to developing country. 45% to developed. Leading importers of Ukrainian barley in 2020 included China ($1.77 billion), Saudi Arabia ($1.38 billion), the Netherlands ($512 million), Belgium ($369 million), and Germany ($307 million).

  43. Yes, not all of the tanks, IFVs, artillery systems, etc. pledged will get to Ukraine in time for the spring offensive. However, enough of it will get there and considering Russia’s armored forces have been so denuded they’re now shipping T54s that are 75 years old and half the size of modern tanks to the front. Only a tiny fraction of their manpower still include professional soldiers. They have switched to strict shell rationing and there’s little indication they will be able to ramp up production of shells let alone tanks, missiles, etc. to supply even half of what they needed. They will be crushed in at least one direction when Ukraine launches its counter offensive.

  45. If the wider Western media regularly reported even a tenth of the more graphic atrocities being committed against Ukrainians everyday, there would be much more pressure on Western governments. But, for some reason, they seem to self-censor when it comes to the dark details of what is happening everyday to civilians who are or were trapped inside Russian occupied territory along w/what’s being done to unoccupied areas as 1,453 medical facilities damaged or destroyed in Ukraine as of Nov. 2023.

  46. Great work. I’m trying to sell my race car to buy an armored truck for the AFU. In the meantime, I try to donate directly to a unit or someone I know in Ukraine every day.

  47. It’s all France’s doing. As has become routine recently, the French are only worried about themselves.

  48.  @VBMichael_D Uh…Iran. Duh.

  49. This narrative that Russia has improved its efficacy is fundamentally flawed. They’ve been losing men and machine at even faster faster for smaller gains. And this is due almost solely to critical shortages of artillery, a dwindling stockpile of GMLRS w/no guarantee of resupply and so on.

  50. $500b payback? The US has MADE money off this war.
