  1. I can’t believe the guy in the black car had the nerve to just sit there after doing that & no one did anything. A country that oppressed, repressed + materially focused will inevitably boil over in unhealthy ways.
    6600
  2. How many times have we heard “family realized xyz giant predator was getting too big.” They ALWAYS knew. They’re just garbage people.
    3000
  3. Well, I heard a few people live in India.
    2500
  4. He saved his own life. His escape and evasion skills are amazing.
    2200
  5. Unlike most of your covered incidents, this seemed much less a Swiss cheese model and much more a tragic plethora of challenges and confusion happening all at once. So sad, since the crew had been so professional and cautious.
    1500
  6. I’ve always found the fact that they’re using comms on the runway that can block out another to seem like such an archaic system for such a high tech and safe industry.
    1200
  7. Highly likely they’re consolidating at certain bases because those tanks are either being harvested for parts, selected for refreshment/restoration or even being used as a school for mechanics, restorers. As much as I’d like to say they’re empty, it’s more likely most of the garages are full.
    934
  8. I like how they even have to lie about how “sophisticated” their death vans are. It says the cockpit can monitor everything going around within a few km of the van. What a hilarious lie.
    925
  9. Love when humans get primal to survive. It really shows how we consider ourselves apart from nature, but aren’t at all.
    852
  10. “The poachers actually hit her with a machete. We think she was trying to protect her mom.” 😞
    829
  11. Estonia, whose GDP is $36b has given Ukraine nearly $2b in military aid while 🇫🇷 , 🇮🇹& 🇪🇸 whose combined GDP of $7.8 trillion is 207x bigger, have barely given $1b COMBINED. People need to get on SM and begin shaming these countries so they begin pulling their weight.
    810
  12. They attack us. We ATACMS.
    784
  13. It always amuses me when US tax dollars comes up as an issue when anyone who has studied military aid to Ukraine is aware that not only has it not cost us a dime, but it’s actually profiting us + enabled critical progress and reform to our own arms industry + military procurement philosophy (we’re finally realizing OST tech can perform better than ridiculously overpriced platforms like Switchblade in many cases, using companies like Anduril to substitute for things like JASSM and Hellfire missiles for a tiny of fraction of the price).
    664
  14. Agreed with most of his analysis, but Snowden’s revelations are important in slowing momentum toward centralization of power, which is the thesis of Taleb’s essay. He’s literally only in Russia because he doesn’t want to go to jail for the rest of his life. It wasn’t part of his plan. It’s important to realize intelligent people are not omniscient and intelligent points of view can be largely right while containing errors/bad takes.
    633
  15. If the remaining BMPs were salvageable they would have already shipped them out long ago. Not sending soldiers on golf karts let alone valuable VDV troops in BMDs still for non-airborne assaults.
    601
  16. Russia is so proud to brag anytime a diplomat envoy visits them (trying to convince citizens they’re not isolated), but they sure didn’t advertise the Sri Lankan envoy that came demanding damages for citizens who got killed and to return those who were still alive.
    565
  17. Your terrified reaction to the gunshots made them satisfied you weren’t a threat.
    518
  18. “Older looking Ben Shapiro.” 😂😂😂😂😂
    494
  19. Russia’s just amazed they went a whole day without losing a submarine, a large ship, any aircraft, a major SAM or even a major factory.
    455
  20. Rostov-on-drone is my favorite Russian oblast. Thanks to drones, Russia is exporting most of its oil via smoke rather than pipeline now.
    445
  21. I own a low cost airline. My fleet includes me, a two-seat ultra light for “long haul” flights and, for regional travel, a paraglider w/a paramotor and a tandem harness for pilot & passenger. I charge by the pound and mile. The upside is I can pick up and drop off from almost anywhere.
    440
  22. Going to Ukraine in April with aid and to help move supplies into areas that are struggling to maintain everyday essentials. Slava Ukraine!
    422
  23. I love how 🇺🇦 has Russian heads on a swivel. They don’t know which disaster to look at next.
    417
  24. This is standard stuff for China. Everything they’re doing is amazingly dark.
    411
  25. This move gains 🇺🇦 so much: 1. Beyond capturing the station that controls gas flow into Europe, Kursk and the KNPP is critical to war efforts as it makes 95% of Russia’s steel and other critical items. It gives them leverage to get Russia out of other areas like the ZNPP if Ukraine captures the Kursk NPP. 2. US restrictions made Putin believe border defenses were unnecessary /he could commit everything in 🇺🇦. No longer. 3. It changes the entire media narrative which was this creeping advance that had lowered domestic morale and created a Russian fed narrative in international media that Ukraine has no hope, more support is a waste and they just to come to the table. 4. It shows how much Western self-deterrence via unfair restrictions on where and what Ukraine can hit has not only hurt their war efforts, but innocent civilians too. 5. It also puts the US and Germany into an awkward position. It makes their policies look silly and ineffective. And it should give Ukraine some leverage that if they want Ukraine to withdraw from Russia, they need to be given something in return that will improve their chances when just fighting from within their own borders. 6. As the video showing one Russian in Kursk saying “I don’t care who flag I live under as long as they actually protect me,” it makes Putin look weak, makes some realize Putin doesn’t care about them and this entire situation is his fault.

  26. It’s a testament to how safe the planes. Every single one of these planes can be programmed to fly and land themselves. Everyone would have been safer had these guys taken off, gone to sleep and then returned for the auto landing (you can’t program an auto landing at just anytime).
    345
  27. China wants to be Japan. Japan actually looks as good as those pictures in real life. China OTH…well, The Sky Don’t Lie.
    344
  28. Oh my God, I hope everyone in Russia isn’t OK.
    342
  29.  @michaelsteffensen6844  And the monster who did it did it because it sexually excited him to dominate the only woman in his life who was ever willing to stand up to him. Also, it highlights how lightly rape has and is treated in the Western World. The guy had raped two women before and served basically like a month for both of them. And neither were even on his records.
    338
  30. “Maybe you can then.” lmao. Adorabe. Thank you for not being one of those people who attack and disturb an animal for a slight inconvenience.
    327
  31. Russia militarily threatening South Korea is adorable. South Korea’s military is HUGE and extremely advanced.
    318
  32. The closest the Chechens have gotten to any combat is as barrier troops, which further angers 🇷🇺 troops who feel like they’re being policed by foreigners who’re equipped + treated better than they are.
    316
  33. Just hit over $2,000 in donations to Ukraine today. Slava!
    314
  34. ”I felt really small.” His humility + candidness about his true feelings about going into combat are not only refreshing, but an important reminder of what hundreds-of-thousands of 🇺🇦 civilians turned soldier almost overnight are feeling and facing and without the small comfort of prior training. It’s why it sickens me when ever I hear complaints let alone opposition to providing Ukraine aid.
    311
  35. Even Trump’s own audience barely applauds when he talks about Ukraine. They know what a liar he is.
    303
  36. Poor Putrid, he’s terrified. He just wishes he could put on a fake mustache and disappear into the comforting arms of Lukashenko.
    300
  37. Wow, this is a 100x better breakdown of the big progression, big picture and many of the details of the first week or so of the invasion than anything I’ve seen and I’ve watched and reads dozens and dozens of hours from both traditional and non-traditional media.
    294
  38. BTW, your interview on John Fink’s Silicon Curtain should be required viewing for political leaders / advisors + military decision makers.
    291
  39. And Russia is finally legitimately starting to run low in terms of easily repaired armor to replace BRTs, MBTs and other armored vehicles. So, them wasting all these AVs on a hopeless front is a gift to Ukraine.
    289
  40. Our Ukraine aid is de facto free: 85% of it was stuff we were PAYING to dispose of and was paid for decades ago. And it’s brought in so many new arms customers.
    284
  41. These sort of terrorist attacks only ensure the allies just accelerate shipment of more powerful weapons.
    270
  42. Russia is playing directly into Ukraine’s hands by throwing away most of their forces on this ridiculous Avdiivka offensive.
    268
  43. Some context on Shuster’s Time hit piece: he gloated on Twitter about using rubles in Crimea in 2015 + past article titles include “Ukrainians Want Russia to Invade,” “No, Russia Will Not Interfere in Ukraine,” & “Nazis Have Hijacked Ukraine’s Liberal Uprising,” Anyone noticing a theme? It’s amazing Time let a man openly hostile to Ukraine author this story. Finally, his anonymous “sources” included Arestovych whose ambition is to become president. A guy now living in Europe after becoming unpopular when he argued Ukraine should not do away with a Russian centric culture and blamed an AD mssile for civilian deaths after it hit a Russian missile that then fell to the ground in a residential area.
    264
  44. You know you’re doomed when you’re relying on Kadyrov’s Chechens to save you.
    263
  45. Russian guy who returned the ring was a class act. Also an example of how many of these wars are not for the benefit of its citizens
    258
  46. I’ve noticed a theme among the worst of the worst classes & vessels. They tend to start with K: the K-Class, the USS Katahdin and the glorious Kamchatka
    254
  47. And to think Russia just wasted thousands of men and hundreds armored vehicles on a clownish offensive, draining of them needed reserves.
    242
  48. 4 🇺🇦 Heroes! Slava Ukraini.
    238
  49. They’re even defenestrating themselves now!
    233
  50. Moscow Mike Johnson has more loyalty to Putin than me, an 🇺🇸 citizen, who knows we must win this war for peace. Besides, most of the aid we’ve given 🇺🇦 has been free because the majority of the arms were obsolete, expired (like the ATACMS given), retired, being retired or disposed of at great cost like DPICM. Some examples: MRAPS, ProMaxx, M60 based engineering vehicles, Avenger, HMMWVs, older Bradleys, M113s, etc.
    228
  51. Russia is suffering so many high profile losses right now, they don’t even know which to lie about first.
    223
  52. We saw that in Qatar due to the stupid lap limit.
    223
  53. A question I have is why are both the White House + media doing such a bad job/not even trying to explain that US/tax payers are basically not spending anything on military aid to 🇺🇦 . We have primarily sent old arms that were paid for in the ‘80s + were either retired/close to or already being disposed of at huge cost to us. It’s cheaper in many cases sending them to Ukraine. The aid package are given essentially inflated, imaginary dollar values to make us look good and gain political capital. They’re valuing them as if they’re new and not explaining the $ values assigned to those aid packages is not our actual cost. Better yet, those arms were paid for a generation ago and were intended for use against Russian equipment. We’re wiping out the military capacity of a country whose closest allies are Iran and China for zero blood and at less than 1% of our annual DoD budget. DPICM, SDBs + MRAPS were being disposed by the tons at huge expense, the ATACMS sent so far had been pulled from service for being expired, we don’t put our troops in ancient M113s, M777s have about a 5% chance of ever being used in any of the potential conflicts the DoD is concerned about and so on.
    211
  54.  @UnshavenStatue  Eventually being the operative word. And after 53 secs. They’re lucky they were still in the air by then. If you consider that communication, it’s good you’re not in charge of CRS training. Anyway, “zero” was meant to be rhetorical. Not literal.
    193
  55. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the other side claim the opposition aren’t patriots despite all of them waving Turkish flags.
    177
  56. I’m happy Zuckers was living in fear.
    173
  57. Russia is spending a lot more than 7% of GDP. At least double that. The vast majority of their budget is classified or just off the books. But fantastic video. One of the best high level perspectives I’ve seen.
    173
  58. It’s 100% fair to judge past CEOs on how the company is doing a decade or more later. It takes a long time for the changes to culture, lack of R&D, selling off assets for glossy short term P&L statements, etc. for their impact to show.
    171
  59. Putin sure got an amazing ROI for fleeting control of a small city…and all it cost was: -90% of basically guaranteed future energy revenue -the Russian arms industry’s rep + 75%+ of future sales (if Russia even avoids collapsing altogether) -all his foreign currency reserves (or worse, seized) -50% of his army + any last shred of morale -his ability to travel to most of the world -most of Russia’s educated professionals -his image among Russians as a tough guy and intimidate his cronies turned warlord -his footing and control of his bowels AND SIMULTANEOUSLY -unified his enemies -expanded NATO -empowered his worst nightmare: a Ukraine that is showing Russians what’s possible when you’re not ruled by low IQ thieves -woke up the world to relying on guys him and Xi Jinping -turned Russia a pariah state for decades to come -turned the Kremlin from an object of CCP worship into a Chinese vassal AND THIS LIST JUST INCLUDES 5% of HIS “ROI”
    169
  60. Estonia, whose GDP is 207x smaller than the GDP of 🇫🇷, 🇪🇸, 🇮🇹 yet they’ve givne more military aid than them. That’s pathetic!
    166
  61. But the French have always been known for being easy to get along with and valuing team work over personal flair, right?..
    166
  62. I had a duel with Drach at 15 paces. It’s why next time you see him on camera, he’ll be wearing a pirate style eyepatch. I wish more SquareSpace ads actually showed actual functionality demos like this.
    166
  63. The more conservative the culture, the more the powerful treat the poor like dirt. Americans, no matter how poor, would never put up with that type of shit. We’ve got a different set of problems though. Too much self regard.
    164
  64. Russia needs to cede land in Kursk and the Bilhorod’s People’s Republic.
    160
  65. lol, yet another “the fragments did it” Russian claim? 😂
    156
  66. I also like that the papers automatically responded saying you were in “hot water” and were being “lashed.” How so? By who? A great example of the Twitter effect: when one person says on Twitter “I’m outraged!” and then the media prints a headline saying “Outrage explodes on Twitter over xyz.”
    156
  67. Every time someone tries to tell me China’s economy is still strong and/or especially repeat the myth that “China plans for the long term” my head feels like it’s going to explode.
    154
  68. Let’s put this in perspective. 🇷🇺 has expended 85-90% of an arsenal meant for WWIII to capture 5% of 🇺🇦(90% of the territory they have was captured in 2014 without a fight).
    152
  69. This guy should be on TV.
    152
  70. A wild assassination story. Belgium was, considering its legendary “neutral status” and the heart of the EU, probably the most brutal colonial administrator pound-for-pound.
    152
  71. 1:55 Her running as a tiny chic is the cutest thing ever. Thank you, dude. You’re a great man. I gotta take care of every animal I find. They’re so much more entertaining than people.
    146
  72. Just as everything starts going well on the battlefield, it all falls apart in politics. A bit of proof that karma does not exist. Anyway, RIP Peter. You’ll be missed.
    145
  73. I love this, but a small part of me is just sick knowing that the Orange Menace can change all of this in a millisecond. If you live in a swing state, make sure to vote and convince someone who might not be voting wrong to change.
    145
  74. The ship 🛳 is really hitting the fan for Russia.
    145
  75.  @vlbz You have to remember of all this took places in less than 60 seconds. He didn’t even have 20 secs to be fully concentrated on what the captain and was doing and in the initial seconds it wasn’t fully obvious the captain was incapacitated and when he did take over it was too late with the captain still engaging severe inputs.
    145
  76. Yup. Many guys would have just been like whatever not my problem. It’s also crazy that her name is Dahlia like Black Dahlia.
    145
  77. Russia has had insanely high KIA rates too during this war. 3 KIA out of 10 casualties is the standard expectation, but Russia around 7 out of 10. 🇷🇺 constantly telling soldiers that 🇺🇦 tortures POWs is one of many reasons why.
    143
  78. Once the AFU got Western weapons in numbers, Russia was doomed. After WWII, the Soviet defense industry continued to think in terms of the Second World War: that superior technology was not needed as long as you could field overwhelming number. Meanwhile, realizing the conceptual impasse of competing in a symmetrical arms race, the US decided to create a new generation of weapons, which led to the HIMARS first used in 1991 in Iraq. American MLRS systems were fundamentally different from their Soviet counterparts even before they began design. For the USSR, MLRS were considered as a means of creating a dense fire shaft. The US designed its offspring as a tool capable of breaking the overwhelming numerical superiority of the artillery of the Soviet bloc with speedy and surgically accurate strikes. By itself, from the point of view of technology, the M270 at that time did not represent something that would be an order of magnitude superior to its competitors - on the contrary, the impressive results of its combat use were dictated primarily by advanced tactics and an extremely competent concept. The installation did not have a radical superiority in range over Soviet weapons (relatively speaking, 30 km versus 20 km) - its trump card was accuracy, mobility and constant work in conjunction with reconnaissance equipment. Value of Soldiers WWII also had a particularly strong influence on militaries’ perception of the value of a person who was both the main driving force of war and the main factor limiting the combat effectiveness of the armed forces as a system. The West and the Soviets arrived at opposite conclusions: the US embarked on combining technology paired with intensive individual training and professionalism to exponentially increase the potential of the modest soldier. The Soviets OTH continued to develop the vicious concepts of the WWI: the soldier was an asset of no value - an insignificant addition to the masses of armored columns and the creeping barrage of tens of thousands of missiles and shells. A concept the Russians never discarded despite declining birth rates, especially in Russia which has a negative growth rate AND lost most of its biggest population centers after the break up of the USSR. While the world had had an overabundance of youth in the early 20th century, the value of human capital in the armies grew exponentially as population demographics trended much older. As technology became more and more complex, sophisticated and deadly high-precision weapons, replenishing the ranks of the armed forces became exponentially more difficult and expensive. The era of being able to sacrifice million upon million to war was as antiquated as a calvary charge and just as ineffective.
    140
  79. Russian barbarism in a nut shell.
    140
  80. It also reduces the amount of S300 missiles Russia can use for ground strikes.
    138
  81. When Brad Blasted Vlad, the movie.
    138
  82. The Su-57’s RCS isn’t even smaller than our 4th gen jets when they have RAM applied. Also, LO and stealth are interchangeable terms, except LO is the official nomenclature.
    133
  83. Grippen is by far the most appropriate plane for Ukraine for two reasons in particular: 1. It is hard to explain how vastly easier it is to maintain from both a manpower and equipment standpoint. 2. It is designed to land and take off from highways, short or damaged, unpaved strips w/extremely tough landing gear as well as engine intakes designed for those type of runways which are more likely to have FOD (foreign objects and debris). This is critical because Russia can hit runways anywhere in Ukraine. They can also get spotters to alert them of launches. Meanwhile, the F-16 requires long, smooth runways (easy targets) and take tons of personnel and complex equipment to maintain and arm. The only problem is that there aren’t that many Grippens in existence while there are countless F16s.
    130
  84. Here’s the reason this war was over before it began once the Ukrainians paired its talent for recons w/the acquisition of the HARM 88, HIMARS & precision shells for the M777: After WWII, the Soviet defense industry continued to think in terms of the Second World War: that superior technology was not needed as long as you could field overwhelming numbers. The West (particularly the US and UK) OTH, simply brainstormed a way to break the impasse of competing in a symmetrical quantity race and decided to create new tactics with less men but more impact (combined arms doctrine) and a new generation of weapons: introduce the HIMARS. The Soviets viewed the MLRS as a means of creating a dense channel of fire while the US designed its MLRS as a tool capable of breaking the overwhelming numerical superiority of the artillery of the Soviet bloc with speedy and surgically accurate strikes. WWII also had a strong influence on armies’ perception of the value of the individual soldier who was both the driving force of war and its limiting factor. The West and the Soviets arrived at opposite conclusions: the US embarked on combining technology paired with intensive individual training and professionalism to exponentially increase the potential of the modest soldier. The Soviets OTH continued to develop the vicious concepts of the WWI: the soldier was an asset of no value - an insignificant addition to the masses of armored columns and the creeping barrage of tens of thousands of missiles and shells. A concept the Russians never discarded despite declining birth rates, especially in russia which has a negative growth rate, and losing most of its population centers after the break up of the USSR. While the world had an overabundance of youth in the early 20th century, the value of human capital in the armies grew exponentially.

  85. Dude, you’re always trying to expose pictures of people’s Kochs.
    129
  86. Russia may not even make it to Jan. 20th without falling apart.
    129
  87. We had a winter in Chicago recently where it got to negative 40 windchill regularly. It was hellish. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have temps that be normal during the winter.
    127
  88. The mobilization never stopped. Also, the point of the Crimean raid was that it was part of a diversion that allowed Ukraine to take over more than 30 oil platforms in the Black Sea.
    127
  89. The Shaquille O’Neal Mega Blockbuster Hit Movie…
    126
  90. Ukraine didn’t have a single blackout despite the barrage. Interception rates are over 90% recently (73% yesterday due to the volume).
    125
  91. They paid in blood. Lots of it.
    125
  92. 95% of great ideas that are credited to corporate executives come and came from a nameless employee.
    124
  93. One dilemma Russia has faced is that they want to suppress information from getting back from the front and their men’s sloppy comms security, but they also need them for men to fly drones and see their feeds.
    123
  94. And here comes Moscow Mike Johnson to Putin and Trump’s rescue!
    123
  95. Mordor now recruits by openly making it clear that you can trade the life of your son/father/husband for an apartment if you get them to enlist. They’re literally livestock.
    117
  96. Love the song. Hate the disaster. The video of the smiling children on their parents’ laps was chilling.
    115
  97. You need “Reporting from Ukraine” too since you’ve already had Perun, Anders, etc. too. He is one of the best. He’s in Mykoliav, has access to the front lines, AFU sources and clearly either has officer training or went to a military sciences college.
    115
  98. The only situation that’ll work = a frozen conflict in which VP can keep his army in the field. He can’t allow 500k+ bitter troops w/PTSD, addictions & weapons access returning, which’ll also crash the economy.

  99.  @scottbubb2946 The dad must have had an IQ of 40 or so. It sickens me that Kirk got away with it so easily.
    113
  100. Having it ended with a truce mediated by President 🥔 of all people leaves me feeling like I watched an entire thriller season and then the finale was replaced with an episode of Sponge Bob.
    111
  101. The amazing thing about the Goblin testing was that the test pilot put not destroying the test plane above his own life.
    111
  102. Here come all the bots to cope: 🇺🇦 is losing! mighty 🇷🇺 can’t be stopped! blah blah blah! And my fave: “This isn’t good for peace!” 2 weeks after 🇷🇺 wiped out the biggest children’s hospital. 🤦‍♂️
    110
  103. The moon probe was China’s best cartoon ever.
    108
  104. Because Russia doesn’t have sensor suites that can detect them. Also, 🇺🇦 engages tactics like attacking the secure harbors by air to push 🇷🇺 ships out to sea w/the drones waiting.
    108
  105. And the media is like “we’ll take your word for it.”
    104
  106. That’s absolutely standard in China.
    104
  107. It’s not been a good couple weeks for Russia. They’ve lost 4,190 men, 192 tanks, 403 AFVs, 142 artillery tubes, 10 fixed wing aircraft and 30 helicopters. We went from the media saying Kiev will fall in three days to Russia needing 90 days to capture Severodonetsk. The media acts as if winning a pile of rubble after three months is them doing well. And to do just that, they’ve had to sacrifice ground elsewhere.
    104
  108. Imagine sending BMDs into an area heavily contested by mines, drones and artillery. They can’t even repel 50 cal machine gun fire.
    104
  109. The US isn’t pressuring Ukraine to negotiate. They only want it to LOOK like they’re open to it to appease the people who say “Ukraine won’t even negotiate.” And, yes the GOP is hostile to 🇺🇦.
    103
  110. Let’s sit on a beach that literally has an airstrip running through it (look at satellite photos - the airstrip literally runs through the beach) in occupied territory! The very reason they’re comfortable to do this is because they know, unlike Russia, Ukraine doesn’t target civilians.
    103
  111. But many of them still wouldn’t do anything.
    103
  112.  @kskeel1124  ISR via satellite of Russian tank and IFV/APC storage and repair depots, reports from troops and commanders at the front, Russian mil bloggers, video of Russian attacks, etc. This is also assuming Russia isn’t willing to let their stocks go down to nearly nothing before they stop sending armor to the front in case they face problems elsewhere along the longest border on earth. Leaving themselves with 1 tank per 500 miles of border would not be a great idea.
    100
  113. A face you wanna slap because it has smug and patronizing over every pore.
    98
  114. More good news was that, while we assumed it already, U.K. MoD intelligence confirmed the kilo sub is completely destroyed and the ropucha class ship is, at least, functionally destroyed.
    98
  115. Can’t wait for the Leopard announcement on Jan. 20 at Rammstein and for the 40,000+ troops training in Bulgaria, Poland, Germany, UK, Spain, etc. to get back. Orcs are going to be ☠️.
    97
  116. Current and recent issues with China and Russia might finally raise the profile of the need to redomesticate a lot of heavy industry capacities and expertise to a wider audience. It would also be great for the non-billionaire economy (IE industrial development that actually helps the working classes).
    96
  117. The amount of hours he amassed by age 29 is insane.

  118.  @ahmadomar5806  No media said that. You’re confusing some random twitter account with the media again.

  119. I’m pretty jealous of this woman. That seems like so much fun to watch them. As a natural herding/guard dog, you know Robin would give his life protecting Teddy from a predator and vice versa (horses can tear your face off with a single well places bite...not to mention kick you to death with one double horsey van damme).
    95
  120. Indeed. This is all just Netanyahu’s desperate gambit to stay in power by trying to regain support among the hard right by going way overboard.
    94
  121. Block 1 ATACMS given were expired too. So, they were basically free. Americans need to understand the low cost/massive ROI our support has been yielding since day 1 (it’s shown China that invading Taiwan might be suicide and even a month of China at war with Taiwan and the US would lead to economic fallout of unimaginable scale) and all with arms that are essentially free or even saving us disposal costs (MRAPS, DPICM, SDB, etc.) as they were paid for decades ago.
    93
  122. I am not used to that type of behavior with vets. Used to it with all human services.
    91
  123. Not as insane as the “oh oh oh oh.” Cool video though. Thanks for the capture, fellow aviation enthusiast.
    90
  124. That’s just Moscow and St. Petersburg. I am not exaggerating when I say the majority of the country doesn’t have indoor plumbing.
    90
  125. The B36 was indeed insanely cool. I love how strange the XC-99 looks. The ‘40s-‘60s were such an entertaining time in aviation designs. Wonder if we’ll ever see something like it again.
    89
  126. Russia is just days away from learning what the words “crushing defeat” mean on a truly epic scale.
    88
  127. And no homeless people! It’s actually improved.
    88
  128. Drach is so VIP now and so obviously a massive naval nerd, he’s given inside access ‘round the globe. Man has earned it.
    87
  129. It’s important to note that their marines are incredibly competent soldiers. So, it’s even more of a credit that they have defeated them.
    87
  130. I will be sick with anxiety and nerves until the aid’s passage is set in stone.
    85
  131. We just had a probe land on a moving asteroid, take a sample and bring it back to earth. China is going to pick up rocks on the moon. 😂
    84
  132. I find it crazy that many are asking “when will sanctions bite?” despite the Russian economy suffering catastrophic decline in almost every category.
    84
  133. I knew all of this, but this scholar did an amazing job at being concise and clear in his answers. I think his most important point was that we should be looking at this through the lens of Putin’s personal vanity than pragmatic interests. Just like he said, it’s such an easy, but VIP, lens to look through. edit: I want to add, that I still think keeping Ukraine out of NATO is still Putin’s highest motivating factor. I couldn’t see the US after all allowing Mexico, for example, to become a treaty bound ally of Russia with a Russian military base on their soil/the US boarder. So, why would they expect Russia to accept the same thing?
    83
  134. @ That’s basically what we’ve been doing. There are also massive financial interests we’d be risking by allowing Russia to run roughshod over Ukraine, including the fact that they’d control so much of the world’s food supply (and already control nearly 100% of fertilizer) that they’d be able unleash famine and trigger refugee crises if we didn’t play ball.
    83
  135. One million percent certainty. That’s all we needed. I like how blind people are always given mystical qualities.
    83
  136. Pretty sure this was your fault, Petter.
    83
  137. It’s ironic that Rome used to depend on Egypt for grain/feeding its population. Now it’s the absolute opposite with Egypt depending on important grain.
    83
  138. It’s still so wild to see this stuff happening in the 21st century and all being filmed from above. In the future, we’ll see doc series that are dozens of hours long.
    82
  139. I cannot believe we lost David. My condolences to the family and the team. Terribly saddening.
    81
  140. Hiding their tanks under garbage. Genius! Cause you can’t tell garbage from other garbage.
    81
  141. Russia is already done for.
    79
  142. We need to create a sanitary zone all around Russia. Push all its borders back 500 miles. I wonder what excuse the media will use this time for why they once again acted like the sky was falling. It’s ridiculous.
    79
  143. Thank you, DW. Amazing piece. There are literally MILLIONS of people whose lives have been saved in one way or another by dogs. I had one dog, Moose, who made it to 22.5 (her brother made it to 17). Both were adopted after a man living w/a family that had the litter dropped them at the door. She came second. He dropped her because they were abusing her cause they thought she was ugly (she looked like baby yoda), but I thought she was the cutest thing I have ever seen. I could not deny her anything and she bossed me around, which I did not mind. I would spontaneously begin crying for weeks after she passed.
    79
  144. I’d like to see you do a video on ring laser gyroscopes and their use in the inertial guidance systems. They’re fascinating.
    78
  145. They’re really spending 70% of their budget. Not 40%. 30% of their budget is labeled “classified.” It doesn’t take a genius to guess where it’ll be spent.
    78
  146. Rusbots are so embarrassing. You should see their replies under RedEffect videos. They’re living in an imaginary world where it’s 🇺🇦 losing the most tanks, IFVs, men, etc. and not 🇷🇺. 🤦‍♂️
    78
  147. Glory to Reporting from Ukraine! 🇺🇦 I’m glad it seems like that on some fronts AFU soldiers are getting a bit of a breather.
    78
  148. As an American who has worked in politics and now works as an analysis focused on China and the war in Ukraine, I believe the “too big to fail” aspect is only a minor influence. Domestic partisanship in multiple countries like the U.S. have just turned this issue into yet another political and ideological battlefield. This along with POTUS’ and the mainstream media’s absolute failure to explain that the actual cost of the arms package is an absolute sliver of their stated values. Arms given to 🇺🇦 have cost tax payers so little because most were paid for in the ‘80s & were retired, retiring or being disposed of at huge expense? Examples: DPICM, SDBs, MRAPS and HMMWVs were all being scrapped + Avenger retired. The $ values placed on the packages are put at what these systems would cost new and bought today. Seems like they were thinking of foreign optics + political capital and forgot about domestic ones They’ve also failed to mention how it’s paid for itself 20x over as US weapons performance so out shined Russia’s newest & best systems that our arms industry is getting huge orders from aero to artillery at the expense of 🇷🇺’s market share. All of which = jobs, revenue, etc.
    77
  149. The special submarine operation is not only going according to plan. It’s thriving!
    76
  150. First forest fire and then hellfire. Will you delete this one too, YouTube?
    76
  151. Ukraine didn’t ask for permission to use HIMARS in Kursk. They just did it and they’re forcing the US to publicly tell them to stop or say nothing and let them continue.
    76
  152. Russia to itself: “Why do you keep punching yourself in the face?” Putin’s giving a lesson in how to lose a war in just ten days.
    76
  153. RE: Wagner Hotel Attack. It’s likely 🇺🇦 used their newly developed Vilkha-M, which they only have as few as two of currently. Unlike HIMARS, it has the necessary range, which is up to 130kmb(vs HIMARS’ 80km) and CEP of 30m.
    75
  154.  @seanzibonanzi64  What an ignorant thing to say. Russians would have starved to death before Stalingrad if it weren’t for LL. Even watching this video provides an example: Russia’s desire to subjugate Tehran being frustrated by a lack of military equipment. Even before the US entered the war in 1941, they had already been sending supplies to the Soviet Union and Stalingrad took place over 1942-1943 and the battle was a very close run thing. Take away Western aid and they likely lose.
    74
  155. Terrain masking using waves. What a fantastic idea.
    74
  156.  @freak94able It is just a bombed out village, but it is a tactical position. It’s not a win for Ukraine at all. But forget 3 days Kiev, it was nearly 3 years to go 4 miles. So, Russia shouldn’t be celebrating losing 47k+ men for a single village that is literally directly on the border of where they started out on Feb. 24.
    72
  157. Russia: promoting global instability since the 17th century and Europe’s last remaining feudal empire.
    71
  158. Russian economy is already crippled. I don’t know why they keep talking about Russia being ok so far. If sanctions weren’t hurting, Putin wouldn’t be ranting and raving about them.
    71
  159. “If the fire marshal sees this, he’s gonna have your ass.” LMAO
    71
  160. And they’re still trying to sell us on pilot-less, AI operated passenger jets. OTH, AI is unlikely to start ignoring their instruments because they’re choking or they have Somatogravic. Or because they forgot to trim the plane. In the end, I’ll still always prefer a human pilot.
    70
  161. You can be sure no one has told Putin, which is why he keeps telling them to go full press on their offensives.
    70
  162. The police announce their presence at the potential location of the suspect like they’re there to politely solicit donations. Very convincing law enforcement…
    70
  163. One of the most realistic briefings from someone with insider info. And exactly what I expected: No popular domestic sentiment against. No insiders looking to oust Putin. It’s simply people looking out for their own necks rather than this romantic idea of individuals saying “this has gone too far, we need to remove this guy.”
    69
  164. It’s patently absurd that most developed countries aren’t already powering at least 75% of their grid via nuclear power.
    69
  165. Russia’s panicking and moving the last scraps of its VDV forces from Kremina to Orikhiv. They also tried counterattacking Robotyne from Verbove. 🇺🇦 repulsed it, crossed 2 lines and are hitting Verbove.
    69
  166. I’d love to take the Romans up in a private jet and fly them around the world to look at all the different sites in the world. BTW, you referred to Ireland as Caledonia, but that’s what the Romans called Scotland (as your video said itself later in the video).
    69
  167. Not hitting Warsaw & Berlin was a “goodwill gesture”.🙄 🇷🇺 just used 25% of their missile stockpile on 90% civilian targets…and called Zelensky a terrorist for sinking the Novichok🤦‍♂️
    68
  168. Putin was furious that Navalny was tall and good looking while he was tiny, pudgy and balding.
    68
  169. Ben Hodges is constantly advocating for Ukraine 🇺🇦 and I love it. Cost is not an important factor in providing ATACMS because their plan has always been, that if they give them, they will only provide a handful for big strategic targets. Other than that, the factors you named are surely calculated into their decision.
    67
  170. A great example of just how bad a pilot you need to be to have an accident in this day and age.
    67
  171. Yup, it’ll be a decade of safe flights before that name stops worrying the casual flyer. I am guessing they’d just give it a solely new number name or call it something like the 757-XLR. The airlines wouldn’t want MAX in the name either. Edit: I now disagree with myself. I’d say most flyers are likely are over any worries about the Max.
    64
  172.  @michaelm1573 It’s the clarity of a messaging app he is likely referring to. It’s a got a silly name. That doesn’t mean it’s not a useful technology.
    64
  173. Just seeing JD Vance’s name in print nauseates me let alone seeing and hearing him. And now he’s VP. Vance is so bad, I even prefer Trump to Vance.
    63
  174. Seeing a memorial for an LPR commander at a bar get hit by HIMARS or Vilkha M at the same time a major Melitipol base got struck was too delicious.
    63
  175. IMO, “assume if you’ve designed it, anyone else could,” is a sound principle. Speaking of principles, it’s crazy that during this era the US made functional nuclear howtizers, land trains & probably a nuclear powered toothbrush + romance toy too embarrassing to ever be leaked. Oh
    63
  176. Got Perun, Jake Broe + Suchomimus all talking about you after mentioning you’re the best w/daily tactical updates. Hopefully that’s keep you growing at breakneck speed. BTW, Day 300. What happened to Kiev in 3 days, Putrid?
    63
  177. And this is just what got out. 10x more probably never did. It’s weird so many of the rich people were doing this.
    63
  178. 5:53 - That was definitely one of Seagal’s escorts given a cameo.
    62
  179. After Petter send his kid to their room, he probably says “and obviously this is far from over.” Afterward, the poor kid is put in alternate law (grounded) and has to write an after incident report with discipline recommendations. 😂
    61
  180. They don’t like controversial topics. And they like excuses to cheat people out of income.
    61
  181. He’s a coward and a traitor.
    61
  182. ”You’re not gonna use it, but f it, might as well chase after him cause you’re so likely to catch him and you’ll have so many options when you do.” 😂 Perfectly encapsulates d-movie logic.
    60
  183. Academic competition is a very charitable way of saying these guys are letting their egos get in the way of honest reporting. Unless, it played a major role in preventing them from starting earlier toward the south, it clearly was worth it. Ukraine is continuing to work on an attritional model because of the lack of de-mining equipment like MICLICS, aircraft, etc.
    60
  184. Hi, YouTube! I’m not a bot, but you’re crooks and I’ll cancel my Premium subscription if you keep screwing over Reporting from Ukraine.
    60
  185.  @protorhinocerator142 Too many yachts need buying.
    60
  186. Russia will praise this as a victory of “active defense.” 😂
    59
  187. It’d only take 5 mins worth of research to see the Gerasimov story was started by a photoshopped Telegram screenshot (as much as I’d love it to be true). Actually, VG is so incompetent, it’d likely be a bad thing if he ever does get killed.
    59
  188. Oh snap. There is no mud season on the steppe and if they can get a lot of armor over, Russia will be helpless as there are also no natural defensive points, towns, etc.
    59
  189. Harris wasn’t picked due to “a wave of enthusiasm” but because party leaders felt there was too little time at the point Biden finally quit to have a primary vote. That really hurt us.
    59
  190. Heartbreaking, but with a happy ending. He is cute. At first sight he looks odd, but within 30 seconds, I saw him as super adorable.
    59
  191. You actually can rescue bird and animals covered in oil. It’s just a very hard process and no you can’t just rinse it off. There are solutions to clean them. It’s really sad though cause we know it won’t happen.
    58
  192.  @freak94able Another lie. Ukraine army’s average age has always been old because, unlike Russia, Ukraine doesn’t want to waste all its most economically productive men and women on this war. It’s why Russia’s already dying economy will be in nuclear winter after the war.
    58
  193. As a race driver, the closest thing that happens to us is instantly losing all grip in a 130mph bend learning too late your engine was puking oil onto your tires, but we’re not @ 35k feet…
    58
  194. RIP Chaser. I wanted to learn more about her and discovered she passed at 15 surrounded by her loved ones. 😢 A special and super cute dog.
    58
  195. Kim Jong Won Ton’s Secret Fodder Recipe. Russian mil-bloggers are caught between bragging about their new help or being embarrassed they’re needed.
    58
  196. Except RFU actually presents new information rather than just rehashed headlines.
    57
  197. Seagal looks like a 500 pound sack of potatoes when he jumped through the skylight. The “jump” looked more like a trip and fall.
    57
  198.  @camila8031  Obviously not legal. Use common sense.
    56
  199. They’ve been fighting the hardest and in the biggest numbers since the start on behalf of Ukraine. Slava 🇺🇦 and 🇬🇪 from the 🇺🇸.
    56
  200. lol, yeah, it was cute
    55
  201. 3:42 Beyond the funeral laugher, you see a guy immediately behind the motivational speaker start laughing too.
    55
  202. Most 30 year old cars look much nicer than today’s designs. But I agree it’s a gorgeous design.
    55
  203. Even before I knew who or what he did I thought the captain looked like a sleaze bag.
    55
  204. The Romans were lucky to see the pyramids and sphinx while so many of them still had their original finishes and paint. What a site.
    55
  205. Indeed, they did. It’ll be all the sweet when we start getting big media dumps from them all at once. It also means if RFU covered it, he’d only be able to tell us stuff all of us have already heard.
    55
  206. Yes. Germany has been underrated. They’ve done more than all of Western Europe combined. Scholz’ position on Taurus is sad though and it was the Germans who got rich of cheap Russian gas, made Russia rich and advocated for them to be brought into global organizations.
    54
  207. Yes since Austria was the head of the state not Hungary. Austro-Hungaria failed to be a functional state because it was so multi-ethnic. It’s also why they didn’t win a single battle in the war they started. WWI Started not because archduke Ferdinand was killed but because he was no longer there to check the ambition of his field marshal to go to war whom he had rejected request to go to war no less than 16 separate occasions.
    54
  208. Imagine how painful it was to watch all these movies and then having to edit all this. But Clint Howard’s cameos made it all worthwhile.
    54
  209. Trillions for the EU/US in under two years factoring lost trade, efficiency, paying for items like low orbit sat coms, etc. The craziest part is the US was making money off this war: A. Replacing Russian NG + oil in the Euro market B. Prior to the Munich speech, record orders/profits for US defense contractors via orders primarily from 🇪🇺 (for themselves + Kyiv) and C. The real world price tag on our aid to Ukraine is under $50b considering as the vast majority of the arms given were surplus stock that was retired or going to be and was/would costing us billions to dispose of (DPICM, M113s, MRAPS, HMMWVs, M50 based engineering vehicles, etc.).
    54
  210. Also, people are vastly underestimating Russian incompetence. Multiple cops were seen running away when they heard the first shots.
    54
  211. The GOP talks about saving $, but what will a massive refugee crisis in Europe cost us if we let 🇺🇦 lose. First Ukrainians and then, with Russia in charge of half the world’s grain supply + already in charge of 85% of its fertilizer, they will be able to cause famines and refugee crises whenever they feel like it. It’ll also cause nuclear proliferation as small countries won’t feel like they can depend on the US or NATO. It’ll cost the US its privileged access in much of Asia, Africa and Latin America. All this because of one maniac and his cult.
    53
  212. It’s ironic that YouRube is the only place to get hard news these days. Even with how much they censor, only YT, podcasts and specialist publications cover this type of stuff.
    53
  213.  @Pewnhound112  “And they also said to give me all their money. They won’t need. I mean they don’t want it.” 🤣
    53
  214. I’m continually amazed by how much the media seems to care about civilians in Gaza and how little they seem to cover let alone care about the scale of violence (and much worse) 🇺🇦 civilians are targeted with. And, unlike Israel, Russia had absolutely no reason to be conducting a military campaign in Ukraine in the first place let alone intentionally target civilians.
    53
  215.  @mseeross  They’ve been trying. They’re down to using S300 air-to-air missiles to hit ground targets. You talk about not understanding the 🇷🇺 will to fight. It’s you who doesn’t: nearly 1m fled since the draft.
    52
  216. It’s comforting to know spoiled kids were whining to their parents about their clothes even 3,000 years ago. Life never really changes. lol
    52
  217. ❤️ the fact the first time I came across RfU he had just 2.7k subs & I almost skipped it fearing it was yet another robo channel. Luckily I didn’t and now he’s nearing 200k but merits triple that considering his content is completely original while many bigger channels just summarize the day’s headlines.
    52
  218. We’re everywhere and nowhere.
    50
  219. Multiple cops were seen on video running away when the first shots were heard. I think people are vastly underestimating 🇷🇺 incompetence and cowardice.
    50
  220. The stories of unity and morale in Ukraine actually make me slightly jealous. Amongst the horror, they’ve excelled and continued to produce beauty everyday from a busker playing violin on a dark street in Kiev to a teen in Mykoliav building custom drones for the AFU. Amazing stuff.
    50
  221. Seems like they could just cover up the whole “pond.” I love when he talks about big burly miners getting choked about seeing the dead birds. I think an amazing % of people care about animals. I rarely come across a person who doesn’t care.
    50
  222. This was my worst fear (that the new admin wouldn’t enforce sanctions). The craziest part is that war is actually making the US money: -Replacing Russian NG + oil in the EU energy market -Since 2022, the US has seen record orders for 🇺🇸 MADE arms primarily from 🇪🇺 (for themselves + Kyiv) creating thousands of jobs + billions in tax rev. These orders have stopped since Hesgeth’s Munich speech + many unfulfilled orders will be canceled (which = the vast majority since there’s a huge backlog) -The real world price tag on our aid to Ukraine is under $50b considering as the vast majority of the arms given were surplus stock that was retired or going to be and was/would costing us billions to dispose of (DPICM, M113s, MRAPS, HMMWVs, M50 based engineering vehicles, etc.) and any stuff that wasn’t surplus means buying it from a domestic manufacturer thereby recovering a big chunk of the cost via corporate/income taxes + big savings for our own procurement due to volume, etc., etc.
    50
  223. The UK has done a great job and been the spirit energizing Western allies. Everyone recognizes this. Cheers from 🇺🇸.
    49
  224. No one’s been talking about this, but I am 95% certain 🇺🇦’s main offensive will be directly south of Kherson city in the desert + steppe whose terrain is actually better for tanks/armor when wet. There are no natural barriers, no towns or villages from which to form defensive positions, no natural choke points, etc. They can do an absolute thunder run a la 🇺🇸 in Iraq.
    49
  225. The mobilization has never stopped. Russia is mobilizing at the full capacity they’re able to equip and minimally prepare their soldiers. A mobilization would likely only create political risks and no more capacity.
    49
  226. Nice, but it’s game over for 🇷🇺 if 🇺🇦 can setup a pontoon bridge to get mechanized armor over the Dnipro. There’s no way to defend the steppe in southern Kherson besides right alongside the river since there no natural formations or cities on the interior. Best of all, it’s all desert and sandstone because the ground only gets FIRMER when wet.
    49
  227. I’ve actually written an article detailing all the reasons their KIA rates are so insanely high and yes, that is one of the reasons, but there are so many other equally mind boggling and/or disgusting reasons.
    48
  228. Yeah, the 757’s awesome. In La Paz, Bolivia (the 🌎’s highest airport + the exact environment it was made for - high and hot!), I got to sit in the cockpit during take off. Wow! It’s the M5 of passenger airplanes.
    48
  229. As an American citizen, it sickens me that most of our politicians let alone citizens are not aware of the fact that much of the military aid given were from stockpiles we were paying hundreds-of-millions to dispose of such as DPICM and HMMWVs (Humvees). It’s been cheaper to send them to Ukraine than scrap them or keep the soon to be retired systems in storage.
    48
  230. I don’t know, there are less of them than ever. Seems like it’s going pretty swell.
    48
  231. When a country is LITERALLY run by street thugs, this is the level of competence one would expect. Maybe those people are secretly hoping to be put in Norwegian prisons, which are nicer than living in Russia. If I was going to commit a crime it would be in Norway: absurdly short sentences and facilities nicer than most middle class homes in Russia.
    48
  232. Show the time lapse map since 2022. The ground gained is utterly pathetic.
    48
  233. Pilot training is not the bottleneck. That’s the easy/fast part. The hard part, which might delay F-16s as much as a year is preparing facilities + maintainers. F-16s are the only jet to use hydrazine which requires special hazmat gear and indoor facilities. It might also make them easy to target. Furthermore, w/out contractors, it’ll be totally be impossible. The Scandinavians have few or no AF techs or contractors to spare and the U.S. has said no boots on the ground, including civilian contractors. Something will have to give. Ukrainian maintainers cannot learn in time. Western times for F-16 maintainer training = -1 year to be able to work under supervision -3-4 years to qualify as a journeyman -6-10 to become a master able to certify work.
    47
  234.  Falk   You haven’t been looking then. They got around 100 and bigger, more expensive pieces besides. If you haven’t seen it, it’s because you don’t want to or you’re simply lying.
    47
  235. Due to the rising importance of drones and GMLRS in warfare, which depend on GPS (though GMLRS have IRS backups), advancements in spoofing are going to come thick and fast.
    47
  236. Wasting Russia’s entire economy and future too.
    47
  237. It’s absurd that we’re talking about whether it’s the right tool for the here and now. Either way, Ukraine will need an air force and even if they don’t lose a single additional existing aircraft, their Soviet planes cannot be maintained for long (not only due to no access to new parts, but because the lifespan of Russian airframes are 75% shorter than U.S. airframes w/the MiG-29 lasting just 2 to 2,500 hours vs 8,000 for the F-15C for example). So, for the UAF to continue to even exist, we need a long term plan to get many aircraft transferred. Not 8 or 16 or 30 or even 75, but many more. Not all need to be donated though. Many can be paid for by Ukraine, but with the start of payments suspended until peace and stability is restored in Ukraine.
    47
  238. With Western Enterprise software all being cut off, IT professionals wouldn’t want to stay there. They also have unfettered access to the truth.
    46
  239. We can keep Ukraine in the fight by continuing to donate to buy them what they need. Eventually, politicians will be pressured into giving them what they need.
    46
  240. They seem to be handling him like he’s a patient rather than a threat, but even as a Jew, it is comical and a waste of time to “arrest” this living corpse.

  242. Up to 60% we’re killed in friendly fire. Makes me smile.
    45
  243. Happy US-Soviet Lend Lease Day -400,000 jeeps & trucks -14,000 airplanes -8,000 tractors -13,000 tanks -1,977 locomotives -11,075 railway wagons (91.1% of 🇷🇺 WWII wagon capacity) -622,000 tons of rails (36% of 🇷🇺 rail) -1.5 million blankets -15 million pairs of army boots -107,000 tons of cotton -2.7 million tons of petrol products -4.5 million tons of food

  244. Russia’s ability to regenerate arms is coming to an end. Specifically, IFVs, MBTs, APCs, SPGs, artillery barrels + much more. Perun’s video last week goes into depth how about close this is.
    45
  245. A huge reason this was a success was that 🇷🇺 has too few men for all their defensive positions due to 🇺🇦‘s tactic of attacking so many directions at once. Defend everywhere and lose everywhere.
    45
  246. It’s an army of the fearless vs an army of the hopeless.
    45
  247. That rapper has huge balls. He even flat out says no when they ask him to make a video. They seem to have a lot of guests who backfire on them.
    45
  248. For a pilot doing long haul, the comfort of Airbus cockpits make this an easy choice. For regional flights, as a pilot, Boeing is preferable IMO.
    44
  249. Yeah, the PRC should have been stripped of many of their medals, but they own the IOC. The IOC president even helped the CCP cover up Peng Shuei’s disappearance.
    44
  250. Trump and Mike Johnson might give it to them.
    44
  251. Old people who believe what the authorities tell them without question are a bane.
    44
  252.  @deltaboy2011  “Many people” isn’t an answer. Show me one respected or serious person who said. I can show you tons of ridiculous claims and prediction random Z-bots like yourself made two years ago too.
    44
  253. Rockets aren’t missiles. You shouldn’t conflate too. Unguided rockets are considered artillery.
    44
  254. I initially thought false 🚩but it makes Putin look too silly + risks internal race riots which 🇷🇺 is terrified of. Also, 🇷🇺 will always blame 🇺🇦 and 🇺🇸 for any industrial accidents or attacks of this nature.
    44
  255.  @tclanjtopsom4846 Russia sure didn’t when the 🇺🇸 gave it more than 140,000 tanks, planes, trucks + jeeps during WWII. Yet it still complains + acts like we want its wastelands.
    43
  256. The GLSDB announcement makes sense. I was wondering why nothing seemingly came out of it. It’s about time Belgium and Spain did something. Anything.
    43
  257. This is the funniest story of people dying I’ve ever heard. This news is a perfect microcosm of the insane level of dysfunction in Russia.
    43
  258.  @mad_max21 lol, you must know absolutely nothing about French or European history in general to make this statement. Basically your thesis = after the FR, the existence of aristocracy was deleted and forever more, the idea of lineage, houses/families with century of wealth and political connections and/or a rarefied social class ceased to exist. Sure..
    43
  259.  @deltaboy2011  NO ONE said two years ago Russia didn’t have enough tanks for two years. You’re making up straw men/lies to support some ridiculous argument.
    43
  260. 3:58 “A little bit of game film.” LMAO
    43
  261. This guy is a bit out of date. The entire Black Sea Fleet has already fled to the Azov Sea and they’re still getting hit.
    43
  262. The biggest mistake was ever making this a franchise in the first place
    43
  263. People keep talking about sanctions having no effect. You don’t knee cap an economy over night. Russia has already taken steps that are temporarily propping up the ruble, but which will lead to their economy tanking in the long run from capping and putting a huge penalty on exchanging rubles for foreign currencies, freezing foreign accounts, seizing billions of dollars in foreign owned planes and other things that will drive away foreign investment for a long time.
    42
  264. I’m a jew and think Kissinger is an overrated monster. Kissinger hasn’t even had a successful career, but he’s considered some sort of genius despite presiding over endless disasters during his time in power.
    42
  265. Yeah, “out of control” is what comes to mind when I think of Biden. When I think of Trump I think “restrained and sober minded.”
    42
  266. Sadly, life expectancy is much longer for those who can good healthcare and have never had to hard manual labor.
    42
  267. @ Not even that. It’s .002% of GDP and about .4% of its military budget if you take the numbers on face value, but those numbers ignore the fact that we assign values to stuff like DPICM, HMWVVs, MRAPs, which we were spending billions on to scrap. So, instead of paying all that money to get rid of something, we say “oh, this is worth $840m” and then hundreds of armored vehicles that were retiring or being retired.
    42
  268. If a siege has discoverable evidence leftover, it’s not the first siege ever. It’s just the oldest one we have evidence of.
    42
  269. Your fury and ulcer producing frustration is righteous, Jake. Righteous is not a word I ever use, but it’s the only one that works here.
    42
  270. Stop featuring this guy. He knows almost nothing more than your average guy on the street.
    42
  271. It’s going to be a long winter for Russia. I’ve recently see video of a conscript who didn’t even know how to work the safety and the instructor just screamed and screamed. He clearly didn’t want to be there.
    41
  272. Oh. And they’ve also gained 3 million rounds from NK, thousands of drones from Iran and circa a thousand missiles from NK/Iran. And yet…Meanwhile, they’ve destroyed their hydrocarbon economy, domestic labor market, foreign investment, etc., etc.
    41
  273. That or they’ve told them what they’ll do to their friends and families being held in prison if they don’t toe the line the FSB has given them. Another sensible motivation is they’re already planning runs for office when VP falls and want to show Russians how they were trying to help their situation when they get back.
    41
  274. According to the Russian historian Boris Vadimovich Sokolov: “…without these Western shipments under Lend-Lease the Soviet Union not only would not have been able to win the Great Patriotic War, it would not have been able even to oppose the German invaders, since it could not itself produce sufficient quantities of arms and military equipment or adequate supplies of fuel and ammunition. The Soviet authorities were well aware of this dependency on Lend-Lease. Thus, Stalin told Harry Hopkins [FDR's emissary to Moscow in July 1941] that the U.S.S.R. could not match Germany's might as an occupier of Europe and its resources.”
    40
  275. Peter trying to project an expert handle on the military side of things, despite an insincere attempt at humility with the “I’m not a tactical expert,” makes me chuckle.
    40
  276. How could an airline as adorable as Busy Bee 🐝 be allowed to go bankrupt? 😢
    40
  277. He totally would too. This is a guy who was using loans from his first wife to get his career started while he was secretly married to a second woman.
    40
  278. They should rename HIMARS the Russian Roach Eradicator.
    40
  279. It’s not ruined. This wasn’t even a Boeing design issue. Only sensationalist media makes it seem like it has. The MCAS crashes were not an engineering failure. Minor problems like this rudder issue will always arise in a plane with this many variations.
    40
  280. The ship 🛳 has really been hitting the fan lately for Russia.
    40
  281. Wow, that Putin sure is a 5D♟️chess master!
    40
  282.  @Doug_Dimmadome  No! No! I deceptively registered as a leisure and entertainment service. Give me at least some credit. BTW, I’d need an ATPL, not a CPL, if I had properly registered as an airline.
    40
  283. 3 days! Oh, our energy infrastructure and clients are gone! Oh, all our foreign investment is gone! Oh, all our trained and educated labor is gone! Oh, we’ve expanded the very organization we used as an excuse to start the war! Oh, we’ve lost our entire arms exports business and been exposed as militarily weak.
    39
  284. So many “that’s what she said”’ opportunities in a test like this.
    39
  285. One of the major problem is that populist “goals” and “policies” + who they blame are simplistic and easy to communicate, but don’t actually help. Meanwhile, actual solutions and the reasons for issues are complex and difficult to explain to the average voter. So, progressive parties are always starting from a disadvantage. Finally, Russian and Chinese misinformation campaigns have been extremely successful. However, progressives need to realize that basically 90% or citizens in every country want to stop immigration. So, they must move to the right on certain policies like that AND many have. Edit: I see you cited that exact issue (immigration).
    39
  286. You know it’s gonna be a great movie when the scavenger kids look like they’re wearing a designer’s fashion show homeless collection.
    39
  287. It hasn’t been a question of if Ukraine will win for months now. Only how fast they can clear mined territory before getting past Russia’s main defense in depth to roll up the entire Russian army. It will still cost a lot of🩸sadly.
    39
  288. If 🇺🇦 gets 4 miles closer to Tokmak, the bottleneck at the Novobohdanivka rail junction will be in HIMARS (and especially GLSDB) range and they can easily starve out the Russians.
    39
  289. P’s in a tough fix. Not only can’t he risk the conscripts coming home, he can’t afford to continue paying them yet he also can’t afford the sudden economic crash ending the war will cause and as recents events have shown they’re only capable, at best, of maintaining the current lines.
    39
  290. It would have been an utter slap in the face to not just the Ukrainians, but every country that is voluntarily and legitimately sacrificing / taking pain to make sure Russia doesn’t win.
    39
  291. Cheers to that officer. That’s what we like to see from our police officers.
    39
  292. The best history podcast in existence let alone YT has a new episode out! Their Assyrian episode is maybe the history feature of any type I’ve ever seen. And I was a history major and TA at UCLA and now work in geopoli intel forecasting, which requires knowing the history of many different nations. So, my interest is more than casual.
    39
  293. But Russia didn’t “thoroughly modernize its army.” It merely reduced its manpower while maintaining Soviet military doctrine both in utilizing mass over precision in its weapons systems and how it employed infantry (without having mass in terms of men).
    38
  294. Musk. What a traitor.
    38
  295.  @3o3tigger  It takes about 10 years and trillions wasted before America cuts and run. We’re getting excellent bang for our buck in Ukraine. So, don’t expect them to slack on aid anytime soon, Ivan. Russia’s entire defense budget is a rounding error for us. So, this isn’t really a big deal for us.
    38
  296. A possibility for sure, but I think freeze/frost cycle is responsible for the fractures. I just posted two very plausible explanations about the cause. I find it funny how badly people want to believe a paranormal or sensational explanation (eg a secretive cult).
    38
  297. The thing about Ukrainian morale is that while a majority are open to negotiating, less than 6% are willing to negotiate on terms that Russia would even come to the table for. So, I’m sure a majority are feeling pretty miserable, but they know there’s no point making a deal if it even remotely resembles what Putin is currently demanding. OK, Krembots, GO:
    38
  298. Been w/you since you were under 10k subs + you’re my first source (of about 50+) I check each day. One change I’d wish you make is to bring back reports on problematic ops too and share any resources that would help out (besides the overly obvious like AD, CAS, engineering, ATACMS, etc.) It helps viewers know what to focus contributions to and write about media in and/or press politicians on (both do that) to get Ukraine 🇺🇦 .
    38
  299. Just donated to Peter’s final fundraiser and to Project Konstantin itself because he was a foreign supporter, like most of us, but instead of just giving money or time, donated his life to helping Ukraine.
    38
  300.  @turksungerbob728  The quote can be applicable even if the guy violated every principle he held as a young man as an old man.
    37
  301. Amazing catch.
    37
  302. This is the YT equivalent of Newey’s new digs. That place is so cool. It’d be like a dream office/workshop location let alone my own secret garden and forest.
    37
  303. My mom was probably one of Chicago’s first female CEOs of an international company. After a smaller skyscraper on Ontario, she worked in the Standard Oil Building (later Aon Center) on the 65th floor. It’s the huge white skyscraper on the right you see when they pan over the loop from the lakeside (edit: look@6:30). I used to love to visit her in the office because there was always so much stuff I could take (client products). I would later work on the 66th floor and I hated the feeling you would get if you looked straight down for too long. The building also swayed a lot in violent winds, but I got so many beautiful pictures from up there.
    37
  304. BTW, I always wonder why militaries don’t use more trickery like this. After long periods of battle, commanders and soldiers only see what they expect to see.
    37
  305. 1,000 days into a 3-day special military operation and they’re still saying “we haven’t released the good stuff.” 😂
    36
  306. Remember when YouTube wasn’t censoring EVERYTHING? You can’t even post this video now.
    36
  307.  @ioanbotez7128 Yup. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
    36
  308. Lmao. Omg I cracked up at that
    36
  309. Russia regaining the strategic initiative is due to the failure of Western aid, not the counter offensive, which was also a failure due to zero long range missiles, aircraft, too few SAMs, etc.
    36
  310. This ship is just so well presented. Gives one of the best impressions of what you’d seen at the time of it was operational. It almost seems inappropriate to call it a museum ship.
    36
  311. Beyond the rail yard, Russian/Wagner really wanted that area for water. For some reason, the Bakhmut adjacent forces have been reporting water access problems.
    36
  312.  @peripheralparadox4218  Yeah, but about 7-11x less than Russia, which is pretty pathetic considering Russia’s advantage in shells, aircraft, proximity to the LPR capital/convenient supply lines, etc.
    36
  313. An interesting video because tanks are one of the least common or iconic images of the Vietnam War. Everyone pictures helicopters, napalm, PT boats and infantry crawling through the jungle.
    36
  314. Contrary to the picture people have of Spain, it remains a semi-fascist state (just look at how they treat Barcelona let alone Andorra) and Macron seems to have zero interest in helping. After it became clear he wasn’t going to go down in history by single-handedly talking Putin into withdrawing, he lost interest and has been basically invisible. France is doing the absolute minimum. For a country with an economy and arms industry that big, it’s been utterly pathetic. Belgium is also a candidate for most intentionally pathetic effort.
    36
  315. As an American, I have to say the U.K.’s political support was very galvanizing here. Like him or loathe him, Boris Johnson’s ability to articulate what was at stake and the barbarity of Russia’s action got a lot of traction in US media at the beginning of the conflict.
    35
  316.  @DaveyCrockett001  True. It’s why eventually passenger planes will probably consist of one combo onboard engineer/“pilot” and then a remote pilot once the public becomes acclimated with pilot less flights.
    35
  317. The channel Military Aviation History has a really good video about the state of Russia’s current safety reality done about three weeks ago.
    35
  318. The oil pit squids were just worms: It was found to be a collection of tubifex worms, which are often found in polluted water. They tend to cluster around one another, and could have potentially made their way into the sludge pit via old piping. They would thrive there, feeding on bacteria and impurites in the sludge until they were disturbed by the cleaning.
    35
  319. The fact that other journalists proposed absolutely non-constructive question is zero surprise. The entire Western media has been played like a fiddle this entire war. Russia is expert at using a system that operates on norms and the assumption of good faith actors that has been thrown out the window in the new world of “alternative facts” and the discovery you can simply lie about everything and it works all the time.
    35
  320. Trying to avoid getting hit themselves.
    35
  321. Another “military target?”
    34
  322. This one life alone, taken for zero reason except that dwarf’s ego, is reason enough to justify giving as many arms as possible to end this war as quickly as possible. 22 year olds who just finished medical school should not be dying cause of a madman.
    34
  323. It’s amazing how for 500+ years, soldiers have always been terrified of being captured by the Russian army because their sadism never changes. The defeated Axis’ race to surrender or be occupied by any ally besides Russia was one of the defining features of the end of WWII.
    34
  324. There’s a reason when fellow Americans ask me to explain Syria to them I say you’ll never grasp it unless you have a strong baseline understanding of the region let alone the full global geopolitical spiderweb.
    34
  325. Sailing for five days in a hurricane?! Insanity. Jesus. I can’t believe the delicious justice/revenge he got on McGee. Guy’s early life was like a movie.
    34
  326. What‘s worse is that this didn’t even make the news outside Canada.
    34
  327. ALWAYS put safety concerns aside in all situations. Everyone knows this.
    34
  328. SHE’S GONNA MILK 🥛 THE SHIT OUT OF ME!
    33
  329. “Five things, but I won’t say” = Trump for IDK because I made it up on the spot. What is this woman on about “embarrassing withdrawal”? Biden simply followed Trump’s withdrawal schedule.
    33
  330. I will give Trump credit for forcing the political classes to admit that offshoring manufacturing has to be reversed. The problem is that he didn’t do a particularly good job of following through on his promises.
    33
  331. Western European countries should not worry about keeping anything in the cupboard. Who are they worrying about. Russia? They’re running on fumes. China isn’t coming to Europe. So, they should give Kiev everything it needs and invest heavily in rearming and replacing what they give rather than waiting five years. Kiev will be able to produce most of what they need for a small fraction of the price.
    33
  332. The ruble is rubble.
    33
  333. When I lived in Japan, it was so easy to spot Chinese tourists because they were being rude and loud. Also, their children cry and make noise. I don’t know how the Japanese do it, but their children are so quiet, almost never ever cry and have never seen a toddler having a meltdown. The English can be quite loud. Americans wanting to travel are quite polite, but I think it is only because it is a very specific type of American who travels there. Not like the Americans you’ll find traveling to Mexico or on cruises.
    33
  334.  @77Patriot  You’re a sharp one. 🙄
    33
  335. Only took 3 days to upload to YouTube after being published on podcast platforms. Not sure why uploading to YouTube is complicated.
    32
  336. 🇺🇦’s created awesome apps for folks to report 🇷🇺 troop, depot, etc. locations, one for incoming drones + missiles auto 📍when opened + when multiple users do it it auto maps the trajectory + speed for air defense and many more battlefield related apps. What’s Russia done? Nothing.
    32
  337.  @Memovox The US inspector general has not found a single incident of corruption despite the GOP salivating for any corruption to be found. Once Ukraine’s pro-Russian element left at the beginning of the war, corruption levels went down to Western levels. What corruption can you point to? Overpaying for eggs and some Ukrainians paying their way out of serving? Wow-wee!
    32
  338. Imagine the balls it takes to willingly volunteer and then go in to pull something like this off.
    31
  339. @John Smith OK Chinese bot “John Smith.” It’s like me coming up w/the name Chen Li or Chang Wang. The US housing market is hot because of flight capital from China, ME, Russia and Africa (not to mention the rise of remote working, strong stock market, etc.). Our mortgage lending standards have actually become OVERLY STRICT since the sub prime scandal / bubble. Dirty $ from abroad is pricing Americans out of the housing market.
    31
  340. “Taking territory” is too general a description and should be qualified by how absolutely negligible the scale of newly captured territory is.
    31
  341.  @M.P.W.59  They’re entirely serious. And science has proven the Zamboni theory.
    31
  342. People who work/make money in various types of financial market, don’t even use the term “stocks.” They’ll say they deal in options, FOREX, wealth management, securities (what actual traditional traders are likely to call “stocks”).
    31
  343. Red Army brass frequently weren’t the best and brightest. So, don’t be too comforted. But, yeah, I forget my passwords all the time too. Just not to nuclear assets.
    31
  344. Here’s your new Russian passport...AND here’s your official summons to immediately report to the front line.
    31
  345. It’s a joke. Just like how judges can cite precedent when it suits their agenda, but then set a new one when the existing ones don’t suit their agenda.
    30
  346. Seagal going to his wife’s funeral with his date is the perfect scene to loop’s Seagal laugh.
    30
  347. That was predictable.
    30
  348. Dems like AOC, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib will also NEVER sign the discharge petition because it includes aid for 🇮🇱. So, we need at least 5-6 Republicans with us.
    30
  349. All the delays in aid from the US, the EU missing their artillery aid targets/delay in finding an alternative and finally Ukraine’s delay in mobilizing more manpower is coming home to roost. This will likely be a very tough month for Ukraine. The key to how things shake out by winter will be how much attrition Ukraine can inflict on Russia. It needs to be at least 4:1 to keep them in a decent position.
    30
  350. It was very moving.
    30
  351. Happy birthday, Putrid.
    29
  352. There is never a single “why.” There are dozens of competing factors that push actions and alliances. The issue you cite would just add weight to one side of the scales.
    29
  353. I invented the hedgehog while fishing with cousin Merl and my dog Geech. We used a dead hedgehog with dynamite stuck down its throat (it was easier to throw this way) to catch fish. I assume the RN was spying on us and thus a new weapon was born.
    29
  354. And that audio definitely was recorded in a sound room and not in the scene and he still couldn’t get it right.
    29
  355. I love Napoleon’s old dog picture. I think dogs are actually the most cute and loveable when they get really old. I had a dog who almost got to 23 years old (yes, human years). I cried on and off for weeks afterward. She was small (that type of age is impossible for big dogs no matter how well cared for). Your story of not being selected to be killed is a perfect example of why I always try to help side by side by with all my family’s staff and let them know we don’t take them for granted or look down on them.
    29
  356. She was incredibly smart IMO. She realized how weird what she was saying was despite really have no reason to know why it sounded weird.
    29
  357. Big Bada Boom! as Magyar says. - a proud Patreon supporter.
    29
  358. I love both of you nurses - an embarrassed American who supports Ukraine.
    29
  359. This dude is a legend. The cat even more so. To think if they had missed each other by 5 mins, she might have died alone, cold and starving. BTW, the cat’s got a passport. So baller.
    29
  360. It’s smart for the AFU to focus on Luhansk while Russia masses all its troops in Kherson and Bakhmut. Attack them where they’re weak.
    29
  361. The Archimedes death ray was the only part of his defense mechanisms that clearly did not occur. Even with modern manufacturing and materials, it is impossible to set wood ships alight at a distance of more than a few feet and these ships would not have been sitting perfectly still.
    28
  362. Just make sure to force your way into the cockpit to warn them about this. I am guessing this will be well received.
    28
  363. No, it gets much better. The GLSDBs are coming within weeks, maybe days. It’s going to be hell on earth for Russia.
    28
  364. I like when Jake is full of righteous anger. More media should be. How Russian is conducting themselves is absolutely disgusting.
    28
  365.  @LaplacianDalembertian They didn’t squeeze anything out of those economies…
    28
  366. Once again, RFU is @least 24h ahead of everyone else w/details of what’s going on. Putin backed down cause everyone called his bluff & it’d make him look weak to not retaliate. Now he can pretend it was another “good will gesture.”
    28
  367. Trump and Mike Johnson might give it to them. TBH though, this is just Putin playing to a domestic audience.
    28
  368. No. What? How? Dude was a seriously good guy and an epic action star. Was still going hard acting and directing the Mandalorian. He seemed to be in perfect health. This sucks.
    28
  369. Just so people know, it’s impossible to open a door inflight. The air pressure doesn’t allow it.
    28
  370. Meanwhile, the generals still alive are reporting to Putin “We had another great day, boss!” Then after they hang up, “Thank god that weirdo doesn’t use the internet or watch non-Russian TV.”
    28
  371.  @thisismyname3928  That’s why it’s in quotes, Ben… Would you like me to explain how quotes work and/or what they signify?
    28
  372. He can want all day long, but he can’t even control a single small oblast in Ukraine. BTW, I love that bomb 🐕 dog. Good boy.
    28
  373. I once swam out there and fished it with no vessel. I swam back with 6,000 pounds of swordfish on my back. I kept them alive since I wasn’t strong enough to swim with a freezer.
    28
  374. I wish there were more people going to Ukraine to help. The Euro/US volunteers go the more pressure it puts on their govs to step up aid and private donors and volunteers are vital. I am going over in late June to delivered an armored vehicle and ferry supplies to the front.
    27
  375. I’m sorry. My country has embarrassed itself yet again. I guess people are really big on having sleazy conman as their king.
    27
  376.  @misiknuo  What are you waiting for?! Russia needs you! These bot comments are hilarious. Their basic premise: it’s ridiculous to root against an evil aggressor! Their tune was pretty different during WWII when they came to the US in tears begging for help.
    27
  377. It’s always good times when GTBT posts a new video.
    27
  378. Feel like you’re an AFU officer w/ your mapping being the most detailed, your reports so concise + accurate and the timing of your uploads releases done w/military precision (regularity and timing).
    27
  379. Then he makes a break for the umbrella. 😂
    27
  380. Best narrator/writer ever. I still love how GTBT’s audience spoke as one and said, “You want this channel to continue? Then the voice must be you!”
    27
  381. 😂 And not surprisingly Connor MacGregor is actually a distant descendant.
    26
  382. IMO, Ukraine’s main counter offensive will be a thrust across the Dnipro and not against Melitopol. So, this doesn’t surprise me in the least.
    26
  383. Small correction: it was a Tarantul / Stenka-class patrol boat and a Tarantul-class corvette. Also, I’m assuming France was referring to the many PMCs Russia uses.
    26
  384. Fascinating discussion with a great woman. Meanwhile, 🇩🇪 is like “they can do what they want as long as we get our cheap energy again ASAP.” It’s quite shocking that even just yesterday Scholz + Germany were talking about wanting to restore relations w/🇷🇺 ASAP. 🤯
    26
  385. Who doesn’t have a girlfriend randomly living in the middle of a tiny Afghan village?
    26
  386.  @thehappyclam3942  OK, Ivan.
    26
  387.  @someoneuser9646  Not true. It was one runner. Her name was Crystal Cox and she was disqualified.
    26
  388. TAWS alone (the audible “pull up” warning reduced CFIT [controlled flight into terrain] accidents by something like 70%+ overnight. It was mandated in the early ‘70s. And since then SO, SO many systems, including TCAS, RIMCAS, CRM training, startle training, etc. has reduced the chances of dying to more than one-in-a-billion. Now, it takes so many things passing through the “Swiss cheese accident model” for an accident to occur (that is, basically, it requires many mistakes, unlikely events and/or technical malfunctions to all combine to produce an accident).
    26
  389. He’s been financed by them since the 1980s and they must have endless kompromat on him considering he was partying w/underage girls during the ‘80s + some of the ‘90s.
    26
  390.  @NedwardFlanders He got special operation confused and special education confused.
    26
  391. For defensive purposes, I’d say muddy roads would be a much better situation for us right now.
    26
  392. It is sad and unfortunate, but unless they feel the effects of the war, the general population won’t care and nothing will change.
    26
  393. It will deter China from a Taiwan invasion. That’s worth literally trillions alone. There are many reasons why Russia winning would cost so many billions too, but that’s a more in-depth topic.
    26
  394. It looks so flat from SAT views. It’s crazy that there are any heights. It’s been a bad time for such a day spring. Anyway, F-16s + more ADS can’t come soon enough to prevent 🇷🇺 from using its FABs in CAS so often.
    26
  395.  @alexanderchen1049  I mean, I guess. Maybe the OP is both horribly inarticulate and privy to this guy’s personal travel plans. I guess it really doesn’t matter much either as long as Miss Kitty is happy.
    26
  396.  @googleuser9383  Wrong. There are MANY conscripts in the Russian army who had no choice. Many militaries make desertion an automatic capital punishment.
    25
  397. 🇺🇦 is an absolutely tiny expenditure for major EU countries (for example .02% of French GDP). And, for, anyone who studies this conflict closely, you’d know it’s not an economic burden at all to the 🇺🇸. That’s just a GOP political narrative.
    25
  398.  @jakezxz1352  Yeah, this only makes sense if his plane landed a long time after this guy’s flight landed. It’s possible he’s misremembering the exact details.
    25
  399. He thinks since professional bodybuilders + Olympic athletes need 8,000 calories a day, that’s what he should eat.
    25
  400. And soon Putin’s face.
    25
  401. They’ve been in Britain, Germany and Poland training for months. Training duration has varied for each group.
    25
  402.  @tonywilson4713  The most common and inexplicable YouTubers are the one who automatically comment “why are you lying for clout?!” anytime someone comments they are in some way involved in the topic the video is discussing. Who lies about being an engineer for “clout?” Never seen paparazzi and models swarming composite materials engineers or asking for the autograph of the lead engineer on some new Lockheed fire control system. Even saw a man accused of lying about being a janitor when he mentioned he was working as janitor at the time of a crime in the building next door. 🤦🏽
    25
  403. 75% of Iranians have long been similarly modern in culture and views to the rest of the West. So much vast untapped potential as anyone who is familiar w/Persian expatriate communities.
    25
  404. BTW, did you hear about the Russian anti-war protesters blowing up a key railway line to Belarus?
    25
  405. Even as an American, I am constantly reading about him pushing the allied support, aid and of course providing undisclosed critical support. He’s also good at voicing the why much more clearly and convincingly than any of the other Western leaders.
    25
  406. “Not an ounce of security.” lol except the shit load of security he’s bringing with him and the thick walls of the hospital. GTFOH, guy.

    25
  409. As an ashamed Bulgarian, I am very happy to see someone actually making a video about this.
    24
  410. While some countries have continued to do a great job in providing Ukraine support, individual donors (and volunteers) have helped bridge the gap with billions in donations for things like drones to alleviate things like the EU only reaching 30% of their pledge to hit 1m shells.
    24
  411. As a copywriter, my boss once gave something I had written the ultimate insult by calling it “saccharine.” (oddly BTW, saccharin + saccharine are both correct)
    24
  412. And there’s word that Russia brand S-550 system has been destroyed already. 😂
    24
  413. Sounds aboot right.
    24
  414. So much was happening so quickly, it’s actually been nice to have a tiny break (and I’m just on the couch! lol). The calm before the storm ⛈ that wipes Ukraine clean of orc filth.
    24
  415. Pretty sure this why I just got divorced.
    24
  416. Slava 🇺🇦 forever!
    24
  417. This young group increasingly doesn’t want to be told what to do, but they want to be able tell women what to do. BTW, those young men didn’t remain anonymous just by not providing their names. 🤦‍♂️
    24
  418. The US isn’t pressuring Ukraine to negotiate. They only want it to LOOK like they’re open to it to appease the people who say “Ukraine won’t even negotiate.”
    24
  419. After what Russia did yesterday, this was inevitable.
    24
  420.  @BostonBlues  Just bring a gun along or at least bear spray and odds are you won’t even see a predator. I live somewhere with mountain lions and black bears and I hike all the time. Never seen one of either. This guy had one a in million bad luck. It’s why the video has a bazillion views.
    24
  421. He knocked ‘em down like dominoes and actually got the entire squad using the same type of bullet that got JFK. BTW, as usual, kitty stole the show.
    24
  422. People only pay attention when it’s too late. It’s so frustrating. Become a student of history both recent and ancient and you can effectively plan and predict. But the 24 hour news cycle, social media, political infighting, etc. will never allow wise people to rise and rule.
    23
  423.  @allewis4008 They don’t even have IFAKS. Just tampons and if they’re lucky, an s-band tourniquet.
    23
  424.  @nightelfuser Not probably. It’s documented he does. The number of women who’ve been in movies with him that have lodged allegations is crazy.
    23
  425. Sunny D: Now in a can! …reformulated with twice the diabetes!
    23
  426. 🇫🇷 has barely sent aid. They’ve sent a third of the aid Estonia despite a GDP of 3 trillion vs $37b and they’re blocking an initiative to buy non-EU shells. So, this threat is sadly a complete joke.
    23
  427. This report was so well done and left me w/a smile. It shows how far the war has shifted.
    23
  428. No matter how much success Mordor has from this point on, this entire war has been a debacle.
    23
  429. Reminds me of Kim Jong Il. His government claimed all sorts of crazy feats for him, including that he shot the lowest golf score in history and shot 8 hole in ones during a single round. 🤦‍♂️
    23
  430. The Terminator looks very cool, but it’s not much more useful than a normal BMP and costs about 3x more.
    23
  431. Sick is indeed what I am feeling from watching a hospital and a funeral getting blown up within hours of each other. And the media barely pays attention to it.
    23
  432.  @mikearmstrong8483  In Soviet Russia, password remembers YEW!
    23
  433. Well said, friend.
    23
  434.  @derrickstorm6976 I’m sure Rozhestvensky would’ve loved to give one of his classic hateful nicknames to any of the sunken 🇷🇺 BSF vessels had he met their crews. We could’ve gotten a sequel to classics like the “lecherous old wh*r*.” 😂 The Moskova + Makorov both were running at well below advertised performance after all.
    23
  435. Let’s all just imagine Putin stamping his tiny feet, for a minute, over Zelensky first visiting the front lines and then going straight to DC from there. 😂
    23
  436. Let’s be honest. Most guys like cats, but are afraid of homophobic comments.
    23
  437. Day 1,000 of the 3-Day SMO. Just a bit behind schedule… And, yes, that was their plan. It’s why Putin sent busses full of riot police w/the first armored columns.
    23
  438. Love Konstantin, but he’s not very well versed on geopolitics. As for Russia itself, the ultra de-politicized citizenry has already manifested itself in a lack of concern let alone outcry about Kursk. However, the long term impact for any future negotiations will be massive.
    23
  439. The TOS-1 must be an incredibly endangered species now. They likely have less than two-dozen total now.
    23
  440. If I was terminally ill, Trump and Johnson would be in big trouble. I feel just like her. At this point I’m losing my mind.
    23
  441. Agreed. Her eyes are uniquely adorable.
    23
  442. Putin didn’t want to do anything and how he treated the families of survivors was abysmal. That’s why a fundraiser was needed to fund raising it. I think you need to do a bit more research on what Putin’s response was to offers from other countries to help launch an emergency rescue operation of the crew. Or how he had an angry wife of a crew member injected with sedatives when she started asking sensitive questions in public. They also knew from the very start from there was no collision.
    23
  443. There was something about the intro that made me think it was SNL. The awful production value and that voice were what.
    23
  444. 4) Don’t, for some reason, throw away all your armor and fight in kilts and blue paint (Braveheart)
    22
  445. If someone killed my animals, I think everything in my soul would die and I’d just be out for vengeance at any cost. Listening to him call for “Bima” broke my fucking heart.
    22
  446. Russia is like that psycho boyfriend. “If I can’t have you, nobody can!”
    22
  447. He nailed it. He probably nailed Carlos too.
    22
  448. The Houthi have achieved exactly what they wanted. Impacting global shipping and essentially getting a seat at the table. edit: since it’s not clear apparently. I am not a Houthi supporter. 🤦‍♂️
    22
  449. Doing quite a good job for using the minimum number of troops and armorer resources across all the most intensely contested villages/towns/cities as they to keep back as many possible soldiers (from tankers to infantry) for rest and recuperation or send them for special advanced training in Europe (be it tankers learning new tanks or IFVs, AFU SoF for additional elite training and then the many new soldiers who are getting combined arms training in Europe as well. All of which is for the offensive. The less they have to commit to these fights, the more powerful any new counteroffensive will be.
    22
  450. And they don’t want the bodies back because they don’t want to have pay death bonuses.
    22
  451. Amazing post. If you had front loaded your comment with some of your first hand experiences with the event, I bet you’d have gotten about 1,500 likes.
    22
  452. I sea 🌊 defeat in Russia’s future.
    22
  453. The Mayans didn’t seem so terrified by the firearms at all.
    22
  454. The US aid for Ukraine is finally being passed. As we can see, Ukraine is desperately short on everything, but in this case ATGMs and shells. Usually, none of the AVs would get through.
    22
  455. It’s the only country that still HEAVILY relies on fax machines. Personally, I love its mixed futuristic-retro tech style. However, it’s terrible for scale and profit margins. The country does thing domestically with amazing efficiency (the fact that you can ship 3 pieces of heavy luggage to your next hotel for about $35 and get them same day is insane). But the practices are not fit for export.
    22
  456. BTW, I remember those attacks, but thanks for pointing out the correlation, Kowboys.
    22
  457. You should make her journal into a video.
    22
  458. I love everything about this story, this company and these men. Big fan of 🇨🇦 too.
    22
  459. Do you expect him to be screaming and having a nervous breakdown while answering simple questions?
    22
  460. I always find it amazing that different countries’ product designs, from food packaging to jets, always retain a distinctive style with Japan’s the most distinctive IMO. I loved living in Japan because I always found their aesthetic deeply beautiful.
    22
  461. Having multiple high rise sized yachts just shows a sickening amount of greed.
    22
  462. We need more people like Roberto. A self-educated, independent thinker constantly questioning the world around him and seeking self-improvement. Equally important, a man with strong common sense, which is much rarer than intelligence. Also a sense of humor and an ability for self-deprecation.
    21
  463. The reason we don’t have massive amount of MANPADS is that the US Army would never need many in a war. We’re not built as an underdog force. We should boost production on MANPADS and artillery because Taiwan might need a lot of lethal aid and if Ukraine is still at war by the time these new items are rolling off the line great, but in the mean time, augment any MANPAD shortages with other weapons systems. We’ve got an endless variety of stuff that kills humans and armor that we’ve used sparingly or never.
    21
  464. I wrote an article about Russian ISR issues have been at a critical problem due to the fact they’ve had soooo many satellite launch failures.
    21
  465. The funny thing is the book series the Last Kingdom TV series is based, which is The Saxon Chronicles, depicts the battles totally differently. Cornwell doesn’t have Uhtred doing stupid stuff like leaping over enemy shield walls.
    21
  466. I mean every other one ends up stealing IP, setting up a bio lab, terrorizing dissidents, etc.
    21
  467. Has anyone actually seen a volunteer fighter using a selfie stick? Feels like a click bait title attacking a non-existent straw man or a type so rare as not to even merit discussion. The ones who do the work AND document it are considered vital to their brothers in arms or brothers in service because they typically bring in so much money as well as awareness. So this “idiots with selfie sticks” is a dumb, reductionist argument. The people there just for self-aggrandizement quickly get ostracized and ejected by the Ukrainians. As many have said, the Ukrainians are very wary of what foreigners are there for and until they prove themselves, they are kept at arms length.
    21
  468. Can’t wait until all the Ukrainian forces training in the UK, Germany & Poland get back and all the GPS guided MLRS systems are all in Ukraine. Will make a big difference.
    21
  469. It’s amazing how Russia got away with that crime with basically zero consequences.
    21
  470. I’m amazed that 50 nuclear power plants only provided 11% of their power. I thought they put out more power than that.
    21
  471. Their airfields blown up, their air raid foiled, their oil prices dropping to $52 a barrel and punched right in the Luhansk. What a week for poor Putrid. 😀 When you behave like monsters, your enemy will fight w/terrifying fury.
    21
  472. And we’re barely spending anything. All those “billions” spent are just actually the cost of what we sent if bought new, but most of the arms we’re sending were paid for in the 1970s and 1980s and was already in the process of (and/or slated for) disposal or being mothballed. Even much of the newer stuff, like the MRAPS, were being thrown out.
    21
  473. Trump would have surrendered on day 1. Can you imagine what would have happened if he had been in office? It would have been an utter disaster.
    21
  474. I love how angry Jake is today. It is a deserved anger.
    21
  475.  @kksan You’re not American and my countrymen didn’t pay a single dime. 90% of the weapons we gave we’re retired, being retired or were costing lots of money to dispose of like DPICM. This includes MRAPS, ProMaxx, Avengers, HMMWVs, Patton tank chassis engineering vehicles, old Bradley models in PPS, expired ATACMS, as mentioned DPICM and on and on. And because even our old stuff has performed so well, the US has hundreds of billions in new arms orders. Beyond that, all these weapons were paid for in the 1980s. So, nothing out of our actual budget and there are no refunds. Were you complaining about the billions per year we’ve been giving Egypt, Pakistan, Israel and so on every year?
    21
  476. There’s a longer version of this video where ceiling tiles fall, cabinet doors explode, files start shooting out of cabinets, etc. Wonder why they just included this tiny bit.
    21
  477.  @HuiYingHong-b8q The Soviet Union no longer exists, CCP bot.
    21
  478. This report is out of date (it even focuses on Bakhmut). The CO is going very well. 🇷🇺 is having its GLOCs decimated, losing critically located depots frequently, its manpower badly attrited and has lost epic numbers of counter battery radars and artillery systems of all type. It’s also losing armor at a 3 to 1 rate despite being on defense. This is preparation needed to allow a major, far reaching breakthrough.
    21
  479. I’m just surprised we haven’t seen some genius reply with “he means he hopes to see us on YouTube next time he uploads a video, not see us go missing.” There’s always 1 (or 100).
    20
  480. Everything Russian is in trouble. The smokescreen is for marine drones. Not missiles. In one unit, 🇷🇺 declared a legally blind man + one who just had a heart stent “fit for service.”
    20
  481. Hey! Hey! He “fell” into a lifeboat.
    20
  482. Sadly, that applies to about 90% of jobs. I think TV, movies and social media have made many people feel even worse by creating the illusion that there are tons of of people with sexy, fun and high paying jobs.
    20
  483. The New York Times barely made a peep about Russia’s barrage, but immediately reported on the Belgorod attack. 🤦‍♂️
    20
  484. Just when Seagal thought he was the king of illogical films, along comes Madame Web to dethrone him. And he spent a lot of time on that throne.
    20
  485. It focuses on reality. Some days he shares very bad news, but he doesn’t pointlessly dwell on it either. It’s just the facts.
    20
  486. This is simply due to the facts that a)!they wanted to move grain, b) Snake Island had become useless as a base for protecting the fleet or an ammo depot due to the Ukrainians having at three systems for reliably hitting the island and c) Ukraine has no real Navy. So, they really couldn’t make use of it.
    20
  487. Lmao, he was hilarious. Loved it.
    20
  488. It’s ironic the flooded city’s name is Orcs. Thank you, Denmark! 🇩🇰 🇺🇦 🇺🇸
    20
  489. They don’t want deaths from urban areas. That could lead to big protests.
    20
  490. You’d think she would include pretty basic details like this. Maybe she did. I’m only a few mins in.
    20
  491. Winter also requires a lot more food, which we know is a HUGE problem for the Russians. Almost every intercepted Russian call complains they’re not getting any food. 🇷🇺 already has those leaked docs. Where can we find them?
    20
  492. I don’t mind this at all. Anyway, not building substantial fortifications far ahead just in case is really the first big lapse in planning/leadership I’ve seen 🇺🇦 make this war.
    20
  493. Silly is not the right word when every single hour of delay literally, not theoretically, cost Ukrainian lives.
    20
  494. I spray painted that logo on the Russian Consulate General’s building in California. lol
    20
  495. Ukraine has defeated quite easily every Russian cyber attack. Ukraine learned their lesson years ago when Russia WAS able to do major damage w/cyber attacks. Since then, they’ve been vigilant in securing their systems.
    20
  496. This is what the AI said to all the newly unemployed humans.
    20
  497. The female drivers AND riders were killing it, literally, in this masterpiece.
    20
  498. I’ve worked at Davos and with the people who dominate the agenda and they “artfully” use PR to make it seem as if they’re committed to positive action so that they escape scrutiny for what they’re actually doing. So, it’s usually a waste of time for non-cynical agendas. Hell, I was tasked with writing Saudi Arabia’s application to the UN HRC. They played off their treatment of women as simply cultural tradition. Arguing that it would be cultural intolerance to exclude them from the council.
    20
  499. You’ve underestimated how important it is for people to feel they’re not just getting another 🇺🇸 or 🇬🇧 based geopolitical POV. This will hurt GTBT.
    20
  500. Russia stirred up a hornets nest and they’re getting stung.
    20
  501. Russia literally captured nothing. They crowed about Maryinka, which is just a field and took 25k KIA to take. Ukraine actually made progress.
    20
  502.  @ivangutowski  That’s just a waste of bulb life.
    19
  503. Everything is reaching crisis point for Putrid.
    19
  504. This is not another simple Ukraine where it’s black and white. It’s more like an Israel/Palestine situation. So layered and nuanced, it’s an absolute nightmare. It’s a tragedy for both sides. It just so happens Azerbaijan has achieved military dominance right now, which is why the Armenians are suffering so much more right now. This whole conflict requires days of study to understand fully. But from what I understand is that it is intractable situation where no matter what happens, no one will be happy. I agree with the guest that a maximalist decision clearly is not fair.
    19
  505. lol@having tiny Jack Gyllenhal as the enforcer is just as funny as having tiny Swayze as the enforcer, but at least Swayze was cool and knew how to do a throat rip.
    19
  506. That’s why, sadly, it’s a question of when and not if they try. And even if they fail, it will be a disaster for the world.
    19
  507. Now we get these guys who are super excited because how often could they possibly be needed. 😂😂
    19
  508. I'm so ronery. So ronery. So ronery and sadry arone. There's no one Just me onry Sitting on my rittle throne I work rearry hard and make up great prans.
    19
  509. I was coming to post this. “He never worked for us!” Then it’s “he worked for us, but he was checking badges for radiation.” Absurd. The guy had a jet powered car, but he was willing to do the most boring job ever?
    19
  510.  @mikedanaher3413  First, it is up to each individual on what level of risk they will tolerate. Second, he doesn’t TRY to get close to them. They are quite literally coming up to him. He is not providing a food source.
    19
  511. Slava Scandinavians!

  512.  @BajaBCat Gotta respect that dedication.
    19
  513. It’s the simplest case of good vs evil ever.
    19
  514. Can you imagine how angry and humiliated this makes Putin feel? That’s the best of all.
    19
  515. Maybe Macron can start by rallying his own country to given more than tiny countries like Estonia (74x smaller GDP) or Lithuania (35x smaller GDP) in military aid. 🇫🇷 = $580m vs 🇩🇪 = $18.1b.
    19
  516. True Justice would be to see Seagal in the dock at The Hague.
    19
  517. Yeah, he’s aged 15 years in less than two.
    19
  518. I could see that being true.
    19
  519. Maybe after Peter Parker humiliated him, he started smoking infinity rock.
    19
  520.  @Geomapper-r5j  What I am talking about is not a secret. Anyone who has ever been to Russia and taken trains across the country knows it has no infrastructure outside the extreme West and a few isolated cities elsewhere.
    19
  521. 1% thinking they could is wild. 17% is why humans shouldn’t have nukes.
    19
  522. 🇺🇦 already has an AI system to fly the drone that last 10-15’ when signal is lost. It’ll be standard issue soon. ps: love the evolving Dom & Francis piss-taking
    19
  523. The Storm Z battalions are NOT just made up of prisoners. Large parts are made up of troops who have complained (about any number of a million things), went AWOL, etc.
    19
  524. Oh god, Terrence Howard’s rants, I mean lectures on inventing new shapes and discovering the flower of life, are absolute gold.
    19
  525. It’s amazing how many intellectually lazy people just say “the US it at fault” as if no other people or powers have any agency. No, while the US has contributed to both stability and instability in Africa + the ME, the 1,400 year old death struggle between Shias and Sunnis, a thousand different tribal rivalries, competing economic and geopolitical agendas and on and on, is the primary mover. Also, Gaddafi never had nukes. He had a primitive enrichment program. He was never close to nukes. So, he never had nukes to give up or was really capable of producing one. Anyway, how we got to the current predicament of Libya cannot be explained in a mere 20 minutes. For the record, I was not a supporter of Europe, Turkey and America’s intervention in Libya. Gaddafi was a monster, but they unleashed many monsters when they enabled the destruction of the regime. But after that, fighting became boosted by regimes, including Russia, the UAE and Turkey, who had even more cynical interests.

  526. This guy isn’t even aware Ukraine forced Russia to move many of their S-400 and S-300 systems back into Crimea and shifting most of their Crimean aircraft back into Russian territory, which has allowed the Ukrainians to gain local air superiority in southern Kherson.

  527.  @GeldUndKokaine-kc1hp lol@1,000 per year. Even though they’re counting repaired MBTs in storage in their production rates, even the clown show that is the Russian MoD hasn’t claimed they’re producing 1,000 per year…

  528. Russian mil bloggers have finally been admitting to huge losses of lately.

  529.  @markorstb  Anything is possible, but from all the intercepted calls talking about chaos and death reigning, all the shortages of Russian shells and artillery tubes (they’ve been reduced from a ratio of 30 to 1 to 4 to 1 shells shot vs Ukraine), the huge casualties being verified via multiple sources and the shortage of precision munitions, there is no reason to expect any of this is tactical or that Russia has some hidden punch laying in reserve.

  533. War is going well. US politics less so. Cutting off aid isn’t even my worst fear. It’s “him” withdrawing from NATO and, for no good reason, saying the US won’t take action if Russia uses tactical nukes in Ukraine. Anyway, Russia’s dire manpower and armored vehicle shortage (IFV, APC and MBT) is really going to handicap Russia and already has begun to. I am also worried he’ll prevent PATRIOT systems that Israel is likely to provide Ukraine as they need to go to the US first and by the time they arrive, have some minor reconditioning done, it’s like he would be in office. Obviously, he could also take the step of forbidding European allies from even transferring interceptors. Not that they would have many to spare.

  534. Ed Nash for US aviation procurement tsar! Never mind his “odd” accent. I love how short the service life of so many aircraft were during the 50s - early 70s.

  539. Poor Putrid. I heard he fled into the strong arms of Lukashenko. He’s cradling Putrid’s head in his lap and singing him Belarusian lullabies to calm him.
    18
  540. That’s an interesting parallel. I’d say you were handicapped more by being given the ability to engage the total warfare doctrine and Ukraine is being restricted from both total warfare and enough systems. That’s what left our men and women (99% men) in Vietnam high and dry.

  542. Beyond being a great aircraft, the Gripen’s by far the most practical option in terms of logistic/ops for 🇵🇭 / any state w/out experienced maintainers, non-ideal infrastructure and especially if they’re in range of Chinese stand off range cruise missiles and want (should be in this case) want to use roads as runways for dispersal of aircraft. As usual, the US will likely muscle Saab and Sweden out of finally getting the overdue and purchases it deserves so well. The main obstacle for any country right now in building up an air force is that there is literally a years long cue for fast jet pilot training. The West and especially the US since it has so many customers is at literally around 10% of the necessary capacity for meeting pilot training demands. Even our own Air Force is 1,000+ pilots short of where they want it to be.

  546. I’ll also add when we see footage it is clear there is no coherent plan in place for defending their ship. It’s mass chaos without sailors sticking to fixed positions and we’ve even seen captains coming to a dead stop in the water out of choice and not damage.
    18
  547.  @theupscriber65  Yeah. I try to limit my meat intake, especially pig, cause of the idea. Above all, I try to get meat that was raised humanely. A high density feed lot is like torture. A free range life where they grow up and eventually are killed humanely is, well, humane.
    18
  548. 🇺🇦 is doing great at using the minimum # of AFU servicemen + materiel in the most intensely contested villages/cities because they hope to keep back as many possible soldiers (all disciplines) for rest/healing or: -some to advanced training in Europe (be it tankers learning new MBTs or IFVs or GBAD operators to learn new GBAD systems) -AFU SoF for additional elite training in the Eu -the many new soldiers who are getting combined arms training in Europe as well. All of which is for the upcoming CAM offensives. The less they have to commit to these fights, the more powerful their next counteroffensive will be and starting from great points unless there’s some major collapse before they’re ready.
    17
  549. All good. Nothing to see here. We planned to leave these positions were poured so much blood to win. And leaving all that stuff was a good will gesture.
    17
  550. Yes. 🇺🇦 is not sacrificing their men to make huge gains all at once just to keep the media entertained. Instead, they’re minimizing losses while making Russian collapse inevitable by continually “shaping the battlefield.”
    17
  551. Gerry tanks! I love how excited the tank crews were to fight each other.

  555. I live in Montecito and drive by this place often when I visit Santa Ynez. There’s too much money and interest around to let the property of the world’s most famous man just rot into ruin. Also, the climate here naturally prevents anything from deteriorating quickly. It is why there are soooo many vintage cars driving around in Southern California n
    17
  556. 🇺🇸 DoD telegraphed 🇺🇦 would be given the cluster M39 or M39A1 despite Ukraine’s need for the M48 variant w/a 230kg warhead for the Kerch. It’s an anti-escalation strategy as they likely thought ATACMS coming in and immediately taking out the Kerch was more likely to get a major reaction out of Russia than the cluster version. It depends if it’s the M39 or M39A1 (max range be miles: 106 vs 186mi). The M39A1 has the same range as all the others, but clearly this one was an M39. One of the reasons they’re giving the M39 first is their shelf life has or is about to expire.
    17
  557. And thousand training in Buigaria too. They’ve gotten at least 40,000 soldiers through either basic training or advanced training since last summer. Don’t forget, thousands are trained in Ukraine itself too. Trident, a group founded by a single Brit AFTER the war began, has already trained more than 5,000 Ukrainians in basic combat.
    17
  558.  @khaartoumsings Yeah. You’ve never seen a single protest in America, right? Anyway, TBF to the Russians, many of them said they wouldn’t go. So, one can’t say none of them question anything.

  559. Yeah. This sure looks glorious. lol

    17
  562. Russia is operating on borrowed time now and its gamble that allied support would crumble quickly enough to save them has simply not worked out. It won’t be easy for 🇺🇦, but w/a mass mobilization STILL TBA, 🇷🇺 is in deep trouble.
    17
  563.  @Doǵs_Bone  The video addressed the idiocy of this theory. Diversity hiring exists, no doubt. However, it has never applied applied to civilian aviation let alone an actual quota. Besides, flight schools don’t just provide free or discounted training even if you believed your intentionally baiting comment.

  567. Putin’s little hand was shaking even more (from fury) when he saw Zelensky visiting Bakhmut, which Putin would never dare to do. He even sends his body doubles out before him to see if he’ll be defenestrated.

  568. It’s easy to make a true difference. I’ve donated/raised enough for several drones. And, as we’ve seen, systems worth many millions of dollars are taken out by drones everyday.

  570. Even though I wasn’t there I loved picturing that little moment. I bet, even then, he could have fulfilled at least half his functions on the ship if his body was able. If the elderly were recognized for the amazing value they offer, far fewer would get dementia. When your brain idles, it ossifies. My grandfather was a practicing doctor until he was 87 and it was only the cost of malpractice insurance (due solely to his age) that forced him to close his practice. And he never lost his wits.

    17
  573.  @kirstyblack3432  And more than 250 to have a normally sized small air force for a country of that size in peace time, which like you said is around 120 active planes considering 50% are often under maintenance at any one time. Even though I’d personally be happy to see my country and its allies provide all of that, I doubt it will be politically feasible. So, might as well as announce that x number will be paid for even if it’s paid for with discretionary financial aid we gave for military spending.

  578. The craziest part is that the US was making money off this war: A. Replacing 🇷🇺 NG + oil in the 🇪🇺 energy market has been worth billions B. Prior to Hesgeth’s Munich speech, record orders/profits for US defense contractors via orders primarily from 🇪🇺 (for themselves + Kyiv) and C. The real world price tag on our aid to 🇺🇦 has been tiny (less than .001% of the US GDP) w/the majority arms given having been retired and/or soon to be retired stockpiles (some dating to the ‘60s) that was costing us billions to dispose of (e.g., DPICM, M113s, MRAPS, HMMWVs, M50 based engineering vehicles, etc.). Arms that weren’t surplus = replacing it w/new, update versions purchased from 🇺🇸 companies w/American labor. In the process recovering a big % of the cost via corporate/income taxes + unit cost savings due to high volume. Yet the media never brings this up despite being the one thing that could actually get the MAGA base to turn against DT’s Ukraine stance.

  580. This guy is a model human being. He is clearly extremely intelligent and now with the horrors he has experienced, you know he would be extremely responsible. Exactly the type of man who should be in the government making policy decisions. He is so honest, self aware and lacking in immature bravado while at the same time being clearly tough. He is also a renaissance man with so many different interests and skills.
    16
  581. Let’s also not forget that Soledar is a basically a village. Barely a town at most. And Russia has had to sacrifice tens of thousands of men attacking Soledar and Bakhmut just to finally to get on the verge of capturing little Soledar. That does not bode well for the baby murdering Russians.

  582. There are a lot of Ukraine YouTubers who raise money and spread important realities, but you’re right, there are many who are only lining their pockets and don’t provide any info (like Denys and what’s that dude’s name leafspring guy / edit: the enforcer).

  585. Though he has a great heart, Konstantin is a tiny bit politically naive. However, he lived in the US for a long, long time so he knows exactly how Americans think, their common misconceptions about Russia and is expert at relating information to them. I also enjoy watching his channel because we get good insights from what other Russians are saying, feeling, etc. So, there are valuable insights to be had. He also relates some fascinating stories from the time of the fall of the USSR and the early 90s.

  588. I’d bet Continental, behind the scenes, said “threaten to arrest our employees and we’ll have a great excuse to open back up.” Russia would not arrest the employees, they’d just put them to work manufacturing tires and keep all the profits as well as use the tires (they’re desperately short on many military vehicle tires, but I am not how many military vehicles Continental makes tires for).

  595. If anyone doubts where Trump’s support comes from, select newest comments and scroll through the comments and see how many russian trolls and bots have commented. It’s hilarious. At first I even replied to some. Some are obvious due to language skills, but the ones that copy and paste a comment in passable English less-so.

  596. Look at the announcements today and Rammstein hasn’t even begun. Sweden is sending the best SPHs (Archers) in the world, 50 CV90s, Estonia is sending $120m in 155 and Poland said they’ll send tanks with or without German permission. And even France is saying they may send Leclercs. Besides Germany let alone Switzerland (who make Germany look like heroes), I am proud of the job our European allies are doing from the Baltic states and Britain (obviously) to Spain and Sweden.

  600. EU aid so far = less than .1% of its GDP. Estonia has given more aid to 🇺🇦 than 🇫🇷, 🇪🇸 and 🇮🇹 whose combined GDP is $7.9 trillion or 207x Estonia’s $67b GDP. Pathetic. The new €50b EU package = roughly €17.1b per year over 3 years, but even if it were all for a single year it’d only be .00207% of EU GDP.
    16
  601.  @ButFirstHeLitItOnFire Because it goes against their macho cultural claims and because it’d devolve into endless mass grapes. (You know what I mean by 🍇). It’d likely also result in actual unrest and they’d still face the problem of training and equipping them all. Finally, they’re not short of men to mobilize. Well, they are in terms of mobilizing men or women without damaging their economy.
    16
  602. Opsec, bro. That’s why it’s going so well. All he could theoretically share with us right now is everything we’ve seen from other sources already.
    16
  603. Until it’s confirmed by multiple soldiers/people on the ground, I’d hold back on being sure about this. War is a dynamic place. Even if there are Russian completely around them, it doesn’t mean they’re trapped if some of the perimeter is lightly manned. You can use precision artillery support to keep enemies to only one side while performing exfil.

  607. Putler’s taken arms meant for WWIII w/ the US & Europe and barely made any ground in 🇺🇦 (most occupied territory = from 2014). Pathetic.

  608. Peskov’s cameo as Sauron’s Mouth in the extended addition was inspirational.
    16
  609. Denys should hire you to provide him with daily summaries on Bakhmut. He never seems to actually get what’s going in Bakhmut. Anyway, I feel for the Bakhmut forces because Ukraine is making the painful but smart decision to use mostly lower level units and generally spend as few resources as they dare in Bakhumut in order to preserve as many elite units, rested vets, newly trained forces and reserve forces for the counter offensive (the southern one/not Bakhmut). They’re also sending their worst MBTs to help on the local counter offense.
    16
  610. Unlike how Hollywood portrays all Western interactions with non-Westerners, they were as often as not gallant and respectful. For example, anytime the British Navy came across English pirates who had pressed pacific islanders into service, they liberated them, gave them very fair financial compensation for their time away and ordeal and helped repatriate them. Also, as mentioned, mariners take the laws of seas very seriously. In part, because they knew how possible it would be one day they might require succor from a foreign vessel at some point.
    16
  611. No one’s been talking about this, but I am nearly certain 🇺🇦’s main offensive will be directly south of Kherson city in the desert + steppe whose terrain is actually better for tanks/armor when wet. There are no natural barriers, no towns or villages from which to form defensive positions, no natural choke points, etc. And forming dynamic, mobile defensive maneuvers is hard for a well trained army. So, basically impossible for the RFAF. Ukraine can do an absolute thunder run a la 🇺🇸 in Iraq. They’ve been given specialized pontoon bridges from US and other allies. There is also a route which doesn’t require going over the Dnipro as well. Penetrating this deep into Kherson also puts every naval base within easy range of Ukrainian weapons. So, Russia would be forced to move their ships out of Crimea, which would allow Ukraine to resume full scale export of grain. I’ve written an analysis of this option, which I’ve held back since it didn’t seem Russia was even considering this option seriously. Now it’s getting too late for them to really to do anything to majorly adjust to this. So, I’ll likely put it up this week.

  612. They called Rik Smits the Flying Dutchman. They call Roel Konijnendijk the Digging Dutchman.

  613.  @anon9469  “EU agricultural reports” made me die laughing because a) it sounds hilarious and b) I’m an intelligence analyst and I DO have to read EU agricultural reports. It’s really just “analyst” though. Intelligence is a final product.
    15
  614. Zero surprise Russia can only exert force by air w/a 70% conscript army and when u consider its army’s design: 1. Conscripted Soldiers (Serve 1 Year) -paid less than $25 a month (way less since ruble collapse) -receive 3-4 months of basic training -serve for only a year, during which they are often victimized by their own officers, who often violently haze young recruits -Many receive MREs that expired years ago and insufficient ammunition 2. Contracted Soldiers (3-Year Service) -Paid $1,100 per month -Receive roughly 3x more training -enjoy many opportunities for corruption including siphoning off conscript pay -Are given better equipment 3. Russian Supply Lines Were Designed to Fail: The corrosive effects of the divide between conscript and contract soldier are multiplied by the army’s design, especially in Logistics & Transportations (the most important aspect of armed conflict without doubt). The most critical logistics units (fuel, ammo & food shipments) are heavily staffed by poorly trained conscripts. Incompetency and low morale in these critical units has a snowball effect, crippling front-line units. Most of the tanks, AVs, etc. destroyed were already abandoned after both or either getting lost and running out of fuel. Meanwhile, Ukrainians are used to fighting and defending their homes and/or families.
    15
  615. Who does your graphics or what tools do you use? They’re very cool. Anyway, 🇺🇦 definitely intentionally forced Russia into canceling the grain deal because, while in the short term it hurts, in the long term it will help them. The grain deal essentially allowed Russia the luxury of a blockade without having to actually enforce one which, which they don’t have the naval resources to do.
    15
  616. Russians just wish Americans actually thought about them. It reminds of how Putin became furious when Obama referred to Russia as “a regional player.”

  617. Love it. Cherokee is the best name. And best model.
    15
  618.  @DiscGolfKid lol, this dude once heard the pyramids might be something else and now considers himself an expert on the subject. It’s also ridiculous to call an hours long doc about the fall of Egypt “mostly wrong” based solely on the accusation that the pyramids were not tombs. Even if, for a moment, we presumed they weren’t, that’d be about .1% of the episode’s content being “wrong.”
    15
  619. These newly invented origins show it was much more than that!
    15
  620.  @paullangford8179  Exactly. And that’s just one small component of why the aid figures are amortized. People are also failing to factor in issues like the fact deterrence is always cheaper than war. If we’d let Russia just invade Ukraine with no response, imagine how much money we’d lose if China invaded Taiwan regardless of whether we went to war to stop or didn’t. An invasion of Taiwan would cost the global economy trillions. Or the fact that enabling Ukraine to attrit Russia’s military for pennies on the dollar saves us billions we would have spent on military assets just focused on contingencies for the remote possibility of Russian military confrontations.
    15
  621. Best line ever.
    15
  622. I apologize for the idiocy of my government. However, everyone thinks it’s Jake Sullivan encouraging this policy. It’s not. It’s Austin and the defense chiefs. A journo who had beef w/JS made that claim one day and then every other media outlet repeated it but never verified the claim/cited a source.
    15
  623. It’s why I hope this lesson results in “the special relationship” being reinvigorated tenfold. I’d like the US to share our most sensitive tech with the UK. The UK has proven, besides Israel, to have by far the best intelligence services pound for pound, a strong ability to prevent intel and data leaks (the Chinese AF scandal wasn’t great, but I wouldn’t expect them to be monitoring for traitors among long retired pilots), the best JEF corps in NATO, etc.
    15
  624.  @Javadamutt True. Thanks. And, I guess, crossing a field to attack towering, nearly vertical walls is closer to insanity than clownity.

  625. We should really worry about letting Putin have Eastern Ukraine.

  629. Omg, yes. It’s really our only hope for carbon free energy and curbing run away climate change. All for the most idiotic and short sighted thinking. Sure, it’s expensive and takes a long time to build, but we need long term thinking.
    15
  630. It’s game over for Russia if 🇺🇦 can setup a pontoon bridge to get armor over the Dnipro as there’s no way to defend southern Kherson’s interior, which is all desert steppe w/no terrain features that can be used as defensive positions let alone points at which an enemy can be funneled into a choke point AND they’ll also be able to attack the Surovikin line from the rear or or bypass them all together rendering it useless. So, it’s just a thunder run all the way to the edge of Crimea. Even better, the steppe’s surface is all sandstone which only gets FIRMER when wet, making it a perfect natural highway for armored vehicles. Yes, it’s a big if, but remember it is being made feasible by: a) Ukraine crippling Russia’s lines of communications (you can’t defend if you don’t have munitions), b) almost zero defense in depth across the river, c) Russia won’t have the luxury of just sitting back and taking non-stop artillery shots as HIMARS outranges ALL Russian artillery + Ukraine will have GLSDB by Oct., which is going to be as nearly as big of a game changer as when Ukraine first got HIMARS and d) Russian troops in Kherson are purely mobiks in many areas, which is why Russia is trying to now rotate in experienced soldiers and rotation is a huge vulnerability itself and it will just weaken the Zaporizhzhia and Bakhmut fronts anyway. I think the beginning of the Thunder Run to the Crimean border will start in the fall.
    15
  631. Frankly, the primary reasons were domestic politics and personal legacy ambitions. Natural resources would have been just a side benefit. You don’t need a desire for NR to declare Putin/Russia monsters.
    15
  632. If Ukraine can ever start getting heavy equipment across the Dnipro it’s game over. There’s basically zero way to defend southern Kherson.

  636. This is why I laugh when the media portrays the IMF like it’s some sort of charity. It’s also just one of many reasons I always try to tell people that all these “financial geniuses” and wealth management experts are clueless. They’re great in boom times when any moron investing in an index fund could look like some sort of genius, but very few really understand why the economy is doing what it is doing. Despite The Bank of Japan purposely creating a financial crisis, none of the experts could explain Japan’s insane economic expansion.

  637. Xi wanted to see Putin’s condition first hand and see if he was a strong partner he could trust. It didn’t look like he came away impressed. And Putin’s gambit of having low ranking officials greet him at the airport (probably playing the hard to get card to not seem desperate) didn’t impress him either.
    15
  638.  @Pfsif Oh god. The level of exaggeration over the Boeing issues is beyond crazy at this point. Even including the recent issues with the Max, Boeing still has the best safety record in history. And even the two crashes (the rest of the news was quality control issues) were down to poorly trained pilots rather than anything wrong with the plane. Boeing got blamed for the airlines’ desire not to require any conversion training for their 737 pilots. Should Boeing and their subcontractors be held accountable for their failings? Yes, of course. Is it responsible or anyway helpful for people like you and media looking to generate traffic to act like every Boeing ever made is suddenly a death trap? No.

  640. Big picture perspective: Kyiv was supposed to fold in three days. Instead, they’ve now captured as much territory in Kursk as Russia captured in Ukraine w/literally more than a thousand times the losses. And 🇷🇺’s entire hydrocarbon driven economy is in shambles. Bots may post laughing emojis about quick gains in Pokrovsk, but the truth is that no matter what happens from here on out they’ve already lost and lost big time on balance.

  641. He’s so tough, he fled the country!

  642. This joke has been popping up frequently again in all the comments sections right now. It’s a joke as old as Mesopotamia with each army telling it. I saw a Finn a responding claiming it was theirs originally lol, but I thought, if any 20th century army/fighters deserved the hero country role in this joke, it’s Finland. They earned it.

  643.  @triplehfarmsllc7348  He’s good enough for general purpose and he never claimed to be some former Tier 3 special forces badass.

  644. I wish there was a fund to pay for his operations so he didn’t have to worry about it. I would happily give $. The world owes him that.
    14
  645. A common trait among guilty people is answering simple questions with long rambling stories because they think giving superfluous details will make them seem super cooperative and trustworthy.
    14
  646. The real final blow the fallout of the mutiny. Ever since then, challenging a bad order, asking for more suppliers, giving bad news, etc. is considered a sign of a possible traitor. Therefore, commanders will allow a million men to die before questioning the orders from the MoD let alone Putin.
    14
  647. Like a swarm of fungus, the Russians and MAGA spread. I love he’s just constantly making up stuff off the cuff like “delinquent NATO customers” or that border actually would allow 5k in a day. His fans eat it up.
    14
  648. This whole video is clearly a low key advertisement to try and take advantage of dirty Russian money. The poor Thais in the service sector will have to tolerate their behavior and constant assaults on women.
    14
  649. Australians complain endlessly about Qantas, but despite being the second oldest continuously operating airlines at 103 years old, it still has zero fatal airliner crashes. (if you want to get technical, during pre-WWII it had a few planes shot down)
    14
  650.  @shionuzuki5549  You and Peter are clueless on the topic. We haven’t even scratched the surface of our old inventory. We’ve given less than a hundred Bradleys and we haVe many thousands, including thousand in PPS in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, which require zero restoration.
    14
  651. Luckily, Ukraine doesn’t need a miracle. They’ve got the skill, intelligence and bravery to win no problem as long as their allies don’t abandon them. Looking at you, Micro Johnson.
    14
  652. More interviews with Owen and men/women like him.
    14
  653. I was just about to say imagine being that in that thing for 20 hours, but you made that point even better. Getting picked for that assignment must have at first seemed like you’d scored a great, important role and then after your first flight, you’d be hysterically weeping.
    14
  654. You know the oligarchs have gotten greedier than ever when Russia is paying in firewood. And I thought frozen fish was pathetic.

  656. That’s how Petter does everything. It’s why he has such a loyal audience.
    14
  657.  @mitchyoung93  Oh, wow, tell me you knowing about geopolitics without yada yada yada and tell me about all these “opportunity costs” lost due to aid to Ukraine and I’ll give you a list 10x longer of opportunity costs lost due to not providing Ukraine aid as well as 100 factors from commodity prices that would have been negatively effected for us to preferential market access we get from providing security to our allies.
    14
  658. Wow, this is the first time I’ve ever understood my behavior and habits. It all makes sense. I understood that xyz activities help you, but not understanding why, you/I are less likely to do those things. First time I can honestly say I think a video will actually help me improve my life.
    14
  659. Intentional fear mongering for views ignoring his actual comments in full. Wish you guys would go more in-depth rather than these short interviews in which you ask identical questions over and over again and get nearly identical answers. You should interview someone like Kristaps Andjerson who explains the culture that Putin inhabits and how the West has NEVER been able to wrap their head around how Putin thinks, why negotiating agreements w/him on anything was always a fool’s errand and why it makes it impossible for Putin to agree on peace.
    14
  660. Amazing. Slava your daughter! Very proud of both of you.

  662. Putin’s heroic Gestapo. Spreading fear to the innocent and entertaining the guilty.
    14
  663. As an American, the FTC initially upholding that trade complaint leaves a really bad taste in my mouth as the ruling was clearly based on politics (and donor $) rather than merit. Another amazing vid, Petter.
    14
  664. Russia lost a of armor there, but it still hasn’t yet been captured. They’re dug in like ticks there and they keep sending “penalty” battalions (basically soldiers who have complained are turned into suicide squads).
    14
  665. Everyone knows Jedi are like human yellow belts. I can’t believe many were excited to see Trinity/angry she was eliminated right away. She’s one of the worst actresses ever. Zero charisma or acting talent.
    14
  666. Zaluzhnyi’s white paper reveals he thinks it’d be a mistake for either side to commit to an offensive currently, which is exactly what 🇷🇺is doing w/disastrous results. Even a stalemate existed, it’s only more reason to provide more arms to change that, especially considering Western “experts” thought 🇺🇦 would last three days and yet they over performed at every turn when given the means to do so.
    14
  667. Allan’s Snack Bar was actually closed at the time.
    14
  668. Cause they want to make Ukraine look silly (even though not a single Ukrainian authority has claimed VG’s 💀 because he’s not dead) and see if Ukraine or most of its supporter beginning claim it’s true.
    14
  669.  @okoice I am an analyst for a consulting firm and my job is focusing solely on China and the Ukraine/Russian conflict. There is no sheet that has Putin’s signature, but there are many different ways to form rough estimates of where budget is going and every single indicator as well as white paper I’ve seen on the subject indicates Russia is spending on the war as if it was an existential matter. It also depends on what you consider military spending. If they’re paying worker 3x their normal market value to get them to work in a factory that produces critical war materiel, is that military spending? The number I cited is on the lowest end of what those delving into the financials of Russia are saying.
    14
  670.  @RyanBrown-nx8dw  Go beg North Korea and Iran for more shells and drones. Pathetic.
    14
  671.  @Memovox  It’s not name calling when it’s true. You’re either a bot or grossly misinformed. In the meanwhile, please cite this all widespread corruption.
    14
  672. Basically “fingers crossed” in non-dangerous situations and “god help us all” in dangerous situations.
    14
  673. So is their economy. They’re projected to lose 300 billion on hydrocarbons alone by EOY. Slava 🇺🇦!
    14
  674. Oh no! Anyways…
    14
  675. Been waiting patiently for this headline.
    14
  676. This is the first video I’ve seen showing what I’ve been trying to tell people. The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of the nukes Russia has on paper are not functional. Contrary to popular perception, nuclear warheads have a short shelf life. They require hugely expensive maintenance (Russia cannot afford to maintain most of their remaining Soviet arsenal due to corruption and their tiny economy, which is smaller than Italy’s) and tritium (a rare earth element Ukraine has a lot of, but Russia doesn’t). Russian’s human resources in the atomic area are also highly degraded due to those experts aging/dying and emigrating and a poor education system not replacing them fast enough.
    14
  677. I had a negative view of Boris prior to the 2/24 war. Whatever his motivations, I am happy Boris was PM when this war started. I specify 2/24 because the war has been going on much longer.
    14
  678.  @LonjArt23 Yeah. It was crazy. He also took all of his Japanese wife’s money to get his career going and she learned his new marriage through a newspaper.
    14
  679.  @bernhardwidmer886  What’s “knowledge?”
    14
  680. The fact this channel, considering the caliber of its daily guests, has only 45k subscribers shows how the vast majority do not want serious, nuanced news backed by actual expertise.
    14
  681. Those bunkers are so insane. Anybody know the man hours it took to build them? I am very claustrophobic and the deeper they got the more sick I felt just watching. Lol
    14
  682. Pee Wee Herman met Putin and said “Vlad, I am your father. Search your feelings. You know it to be true.” Putin has been trying to compensate ever since.
    14
  683.  @NicholasReedWriter They were never even close to having nukes. People act like Gaddafi had a nuclear shield, gave it up and then was overthrown. No, he never had a nuclear shield. All he had was a primitive enrichment program he tried to leverage.
    14
  684.  @kw9568  OK, tough guy.
    13
  685. Imagine being accidentally killed by the Gripen’s rapier. lol. Anyway, Gripen paired with Meteor is pound-for-pound the best aircraft since the F-15.
    13
  686. 🇺🇸 aid to 🇺🇦 has basically been free. 90% of the weapons given we’re retired/nearing it and/or costing more $ to dispose of than to give(DPICM). This includes MRAPS, ProMaxx, Avengers, HMMWVs, Patton tank chassis engineering vehicles, old Bradley models in PPS, expired ATACMS, as mentioned DPICM and on and on. And because even our old stuff has performed so well, the US has hundreds of billions in new arms orders. Beyond that, all these weapons were paid for in the 1980s. So, nothing comes out of our actual budget. I don’t remember these people complaining about the billions per year we’ve been giving Egypt, Pakistan, Israel and so on every year in military aid.
    13
  687. That’s one of the reasons Speak The Truth has the best analyses and reviews of the fronts. He uses topographical maps, infrastructure maps, etc. and has sources on the ground.
    13
  688. 🇺🇦 will love the Bradley’s advanced sensor suite which can detect, generate a firing solution & destroy any T-model tank from 2+ miles away without it even detecting you. Give 🇺🇦 20 Grippens as well and they’d end the war in a month.
    13
  689. I don’t know about this guy’s numbers, but R. Kelly’s victim numbers are possibly in the thousands and most were 16 and younger. With all those training center and countless employees, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had even moreover. However, it’s not a competition. Both stories are unimaginably sick. The richest and most powerful Chinese private citizens wouldn’t have had any case come against him in the first place.
    13
  690. It’s pretty spectacular that someone managed to produce a movie with even more plot holes and nonsense than your average Seagal movie.
    13
  691. He’s always struck me as a charlatan. BTW, nationalism is a simplified catch all term these days. Ukrainian nationalism is not hostile to multi-culturalism, but simply an expression of opposition to absorption to Russia and Putin’s attempt to portray Ukraine as an ethnically Russian state.
    13
  692. BTW, I literally only see three of the 87 comments listed, which means YT is hiding 84 posts from the bots.
    13
  693. Stayed in Japan for three months in 2019 and I didn’t want to leave. What makes it amazing is that besides being gorgeous both naturally and its design aesthetic, it is the least globalized country I’ve ever visited. Lima isn’t that different from Chicago, but Japan’s cities are still incredibly unique. Can only imagine how glorious it was in 1988. Guy must be a natural polyglot if he could learn it so fast and so well that he could pass a test that was basically a test centered on linguistic skill if he doesn’t think it was a huge deal he was able to do that. Anyway, the very reasons that its been able to stave off globalization and which make it so fascinating for travelers, have a huge dark side for those born and living there.
    13
  694. You can never go wrong with Sheriff. One of the most tireless and convincing voices on why supporting Ukraine is in our self-interest and must be expanded in its breath and conviction. He’s a bit like the UK’s Hodges in that, but even more articulate.
    13
  695. Every Ukrainian knows that extremely well. Thumbs up nonetheless.
    13
  696. No matter how senile he becomes, he won’t be nearly as dangerous as Trump and his band of literal traitors.
    13
  697. OT Jake, but I think you hammering on this could make a real-world diff: Neither US media or POTUS explain the actual cost of arms given to 🇺🇦 is a fraction of the stated values. Most of those given were already paid for in the ‘80s & were mostly used, retired, retiring or being disposed of at huge expense. Examples: DPICM, SDBs, MRAPS and HMMWVs were all being scrapped + Avenger retired. The $ values placed on the packages are put at what these systems would cost new and bought today. Seems like they were thinking of foreign optics + political capital and forgot about domestic optics. They’ve also failed to mention how it’s paid for itself 20x over as US weapons performance so out shined Russia’s newest & best systems that our arms industry is getting huge orders from aero to artillery at the expense of 🇷🇺’s market share. All of which = jobs, revenue, etc. ps - I know you’ve briefly touched upon much of this but not in easily summarized way like this and I think it’s underestimated how important this issue is considering more than half of Americans are now saying we’re spending too much on Ukraine. Hammering this issue briefly every other day gives it a chance to go viral or start getting parroted by other media and content creators. If even 25% of Americans knew this, it could move the needle.
    13
  698. Denmark has been one of the few Western countries walking the walk rather than just talking the talk like France, Belgium and Germany (🇩🇪 people have been good, but support has been weak). The US, pound for pound has been disappointing, but France and Germany would have literally done nothing without the UK and US dragging them along. And obviously the Baltic countries have been fantastic.
    13
  699. Also, it should have mentioned that at least half the claimed abductees relate the aliens showing warnings of man destroying the earth.
    13
  700. 😂 stop using logic, bro!
    13
  701.  @MariaMartinez-xm4fl  Vlad the Impaler and Voivode of Wallachia, who inspired Dracula, never fought the Tartars/Mongolians. He fought the Ottomans whose court he actually grew up in as a hostage for his father.
    13
  702. Germany’s irrational closure of its ☢️ plants, irrational fear of ☢️ power and irrational belief they can achieve carbon reductions w/out ☢️ energy is confounding. In this case its citizens irrationality. We know what the motivations of gov leaders was, which was owned by Russian energy money though.
    13
  703.  @sinfinate9433  Most of the drivers would drive for free to be in a Newey car. So, it’s still a bargain, especially when you consider money produce by the points and sponsorship attracted from winning the WCC / WDC is worth hundreds of millions. That doesn’t include the value he keeps adding to the team/organization itself. Imagine what Stroll would being willing to pay for a turn key championship team. lol
    13
  704. The 727 was/is a great plane. The Boeing 737 in all variants is as well. I don’t think most realize how good its service record still is.
    13
  705. Combined arms can’t really be executed when you’re missing entire categories of it let alone a number of the components. Anyway, a trip to Ukraine doesn’t give any good in-depth insight. If anything you get tunnel vision. It is great for getting to heart of specific topic insights though. You need a combination of both on the ground reporting + just pouring through available data and posts for the best overall picture. I think one important story you just kind of touched on is that there is a significant lack of high end ATGMs (JAVELINS + NLAWS) ATGMs + STINGERS, but it’s not talked about at all, which makes sense for OPSEC.
    13
  706. @davidc1878 Your point? That’s what happens when you don’t equitably tax the tiny portion of tax “payers” who hold more wealth than 90% of Americans combined + our middle class tax base goes extinct. Moreover, even if we accepted the face value of the aid, it’s .002% of GDP. It’s not even a rounding error. Furthermore, we give billions of military aid to Pakistan, Egypt, etc. annually and I don’t hear Trump talking about that. Or the fact that the largest part of our deficit has been generated under GOP presidents and literally every economic KPI is cumulatively inferior under GOP admins since 1953.
    13
  707. It’s fair. Venice is a nightmare during tourist season & the locals’ hate + contempt for tourists radiates off them. You’d feel the same listening to luggage rolling over cobblestones 24/7/365.
    13
  708. I love the Poles. Growing up in Chicago, which has almost as many Poles as Warsaw, always found them to be a great group.
    13
  709. @tina kapoor Machetes are needed for hacking through the jungle. Besides, they’re easy to make. It’s like saying ban axes or lawn mowers because they can be used to hurt someone.
    13
  710. Ukraine has quietly captured 36 oil platforms in the Black Sea and driven the 🇷🇺 Navy away from Crimea. More importantly, 🇺🇦 is just miles away from Tokmak, which if captured, will fully collapse 🇷🇺’s ability to supply their southern forces, which is 75% of the war.
    13
  711. You don’t know how US elections work if you say that. Or how we get our ballots. Or even what is required to vote in the first place. Do you think you can just vote as often as you want in US elections?
    13
  712. God Save The Ukraine . In reality, it’ll take our continued support and unanimity (both private and governmental) to ensure Russia finally learns its lesson. God couldn’t care less one way or another.
    13
  713. People are talking about the manpower it took to make this video as if that means anything in the context of teaching. The teachers (but really the school system) are selecting educational resources that took xxxx number of hours to produce. It is about selecting the educational materials one chooses to utilize. However, there are standard curriculums which are not up to the teacher. Different subjects have different levels of flexibility for the teacher to introduce their own choices in terms of what and how they want to teach. The blame for our educational system is on literally everyone from the parents to the kids to politicians to voters.

  714. Tiny Gyllenhaal. Great enforcer. At least tiny Swayze was cool. I’d rather get hit by a train than have to go the Florida Keys too.

  717.  @rnies6849 Flying isn’t safe? Sounds like your brain is pretty smooth.

  718. A meeting with Mr. Potato 🥔 Head would lift anyone’s spirits. It’s impossible not to crack up laughing listening to Potatoshenko “talking.”
    13
  719. Yup, it’ll be the F-16, but the Gripen makes so much more sense in terms of their needs (can land almost anywhere, huge tolerance to FOD which is the exact opposite of the F-16, can be rearmed and refueled by a crew of 4 conscripts with ordinary hand tools and so on and so). The dispersion aspect is especially important. That and I’m sure they don’t have any existing military runways that are in pristine condition, which is what the F-16 requires.
    13
  720. Even GOP attendees at the convention were low key booing David Sachs’ lies about Ukraine. Anyway, RE: confiscating the money, the EU has been even more opposed to confiscation than the US.
    13
  721. Maybe it was supposed to be about telepathic communications and they just didn’t get the memo. But you know Seagal’s really super deep. So, it could be some huge metaphor. [squish]
    13
  722.  @StPiter111  It shows your IQ level you’d actually be happy if it were ready to fly. You think Putin is gonna let you in his bunker when Russia is being turned into a radioactive crater.
    13
  723. And it’s also the movie where he wanted to be the comic relief (he always is) instead of Damon Wayans.
    13
  724.  @peripheralparadox4218  You’re not thinking. It is attritional. So, that is EXACTLY the type of attritional exchange ratio 🇺🇦 needs. Otherwise, you’re allowing 🇷🇺 a comfortable manpower cushion for the summer.
    13
  725. As an analyst who works for consulting firms, I am comfortable saying we tend to know a lot more about our area or areas of focus than journalists who tend to only be partly focused on a particular country or conflict. If one needs proof of this, simply look at how inaccurate, behind-the-curve the media’s reporting on Ukraine has been. It’s why ISW has become basically the de facto journal of record on the war. Ukraine: The Latest, a group of Telegraph journalists who do nothing but cover the war and have a daily podcast of about 45-90 minutes is the only mainstream reporting on the war doing a good job.
    13
  726. They’re like the #Akblyat Battalion, except they can’t arrest you and force you to apologize and lie about about how awesome they are.
    13
  727.  @Grundewalt  Wow, you are an inspiration! I must admit I haven’t cut myself from all unnecessary purchases.
    13
  728. That line definitely isn’t getting the love it deserts. I mean deserves. Sorry, Seagalian slip.
    13
  729. This cracked me up. 🤣 Also, I must be a huge nerd cause, despite being incredibly eclectic in their topics, 85% of the viewers on the videos I watch seem familiar with 40k lore.
    13
  730. That’s because it feels faster. Until you really start to get many laps in (with onboard predictive lap timers which only became cheap recently w/smart phones) and see how much time you’re losing. I teach trail braking as a race school instructor. So, his video was a bit of an over generalization. Try trail braking in a FWD. Now, that is properly hard / nearly impossible.
    13
  731.  actinium2754  They never said that, tankie. What’s funny is that Russia’s destroyed their entire economy and lost their entire Soviet stockpile in order to capture about an 1/8th of a mile. Utterly pathetic. 🤣 😂 🤣
    13
  732. NY Times: “Japan Airlines said all 367 passengers and 12 crew members had evacuated the jet. Five crew members in a Coast Guard plane that reportedly collided with the jet were unaccounted for.”
    13
  733. It’s just clickbait. The original title was “History of the Submarine.” This was made in 1993.
    13
  734.  @scoobydoobers23 Having nukes would have obviously deterred foreign powers, but he didn’t. But North Korea was NEVER going to give up their nukes. Anyone who thought there was ever a chance to de-nuke NK is naive.
    13
  735.  @hellothere1656  And the only country still without electricity. 🤣
    12
  736. It’s important to note that less that 30% of that $61b is actually going to be spent on weapons for 🇺🇦. Most of it is going to the 🇺🇸 to reimburse itself for weapons already given to 🇺🇦 in 2022 - 2023 and expand 🇺🇸’s own production capacity, which won’t be useful when DJT wins in November.
    12
  737. It’s amazing how there are thousands of individuals out there from both Ukraine and outside Ukraine are raising millions per year with despite not being wealthy, connected, well know and w/only modest followings. They’ve been the backbone of sustaining Ukraine when foreign aid drys up or falls short. It also shows people’s hunger to get involved in something that matters rather than just waste their lives on shallow distractions and focused only on their own personal comforts.
    12
  738. Can you please do an episode on problems and/or successes re: Ukrainian efforts at recruiting or drafting new manpower, efforts to utilize men that are not cut out for combat to perform other duties like building fortifications, ferrying supplies, etc. or reassuring potential conscripts they will be given adequate training, etc. and the dominant attitudes among Ukrainians about the subject right now.
    12
  739.  @lovyrituraj lol, says the guy cheering Russian strikes on Ukrainian hospitals and schools.
    12
  740. The war in Ukraine is more important, but I think most in the West don’t even realize what’s gone on the past ten years or what Hamas did in October. Otherwise, i don’t think so many would be criticizing Israel.
    12
  741. Thanks for posting this. I was about to be one of those people.
    12
  742. They’ve used 95% of an arsenal intended to fight WWIII w/the US & Europe (+ 3m shells, 4k+ drones, TBMs, etc. from NK/Iran) and have barely made dent w/80% of the land occupied from 2014.
    12
  743.  @NeonSwordsManFangattack  You think lion cubs are just randomly mixed in with kittens at shelters? No, they’re super expensive to buy. And even if you somehow did get one by accident you would need to have a mentally handicapped level IQ not to recognize you’ve gotten a lion cub. Sorry, but if you don’t have the common sense to recognize this you might be in that group.
    12
  744. It depends if it’s the M39 or M39A1 (max range be miles: 106 vs 186mi). The M39A1 has the same range as all the others, but clearly this one was an M39. One of the reasons they’re giving them first is their shelf life has or is about to expire.
    12
  745. It definitely makes him one of the safest pilots in the sky. I would love to have him flying my Gulfstream.
    12
  746. Besides the small number of truly elite soldiers, the foreign fighters have been more of a morale booster as a sign of solidarity than a military asset. God bless their intentions. Many of them will just be a liability in the field though. If Russia captures 20 Americans or Germans, they’ll try to use them as bargaining pieces. If she actually knows what she’s doing, the Norwegian lady definitely looks useful. Medics are invaluable. When it comes to combat, she sounded clueless. The foreign fighters, luckily it seems limited so far, who post social media while in the field are actually endangering forces much more than helping.

  749.  @pjacobsen1000  Exactly. Iraq and Afghanistan cost the U.S., which now produces most of its own energy, quite literally 14+ trillion dollars. No amount of favorable oil access is going to make up for that.

  752. The last two weeks has seen an utterly epic amount of arms + armor being given to 🇺🇦 w/only 🇩🇪 and 🇫🇷 being fairly pathetic, which was entirely predictable. It’ll blow one’s mind, but just last week the minister president of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer, called for the repair of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline so that Germany “keeps the option” to purchase Russian gas after the war ends.

  759.  @gayprepperz6862  ”April 1941 polls showed that 68% of Americans favored war against the Axis powers if that was the only way to defeat them.” - National WW2 Museum. I am aware that in 1940 88% were opposed, but that began changing extremely quickly after France fell and Britain began getting bombed. So rapidly, that American opinion shifted 60% in just months. By December 1, it was more than 70%.

  767.  @StPiter111  You’re either choosing not to pay attention to the main point or embarrassed to admit it (or you’re too dumb to get it): Russia still dies even if you strike first with a super fast missile. And sorry to burst your bubble, if you want to talk about pointless things like speed, the US successfully tested a scramjet hypersonic missile, which is way faster than Russia’s missile because it is designed to be at hypersonic speed for almost its entire flight instead of simply hitting those speeds later on.

  773. 90% of the reason energy prices rise so quickly is because way too much speculative commodity/futures trading is allowed. It’s the reason that nothing can be happening and suddenly fuel prices spike with traders playing games or seeing something that might develop many months or even years away.
    12
  774. You forgot don’t put them in a war when they have zero faith in their commanders’ ability or concern for them and zero belief in what they’re fighting for. The US brass does lie, but not in any way that could be compared in even the slightest way to the Russian brass’ lies.

  797. And even when you get a proper MRF, it’s going to be a long wait to get any pilots trained, especially if it’s a US aircraft. The cue for fast jet pilot training is quite literally years long right now. With so many aircraft customers and our own military wanting another 1,000 pilots, the US’ pilot training program is at only at about 10% of the necessary capacity for meeting training demands. Europe has a backlog too. Not as bad though.

  802. Uh, Finland (which is a small but advanced force) could easily stop Russia at this point in time. However, 🇬🇧 desperately needs to increase its defense budget. America is no longer a reliable ally sadly and their assistance should never have been taken advantage of so much by Europe (the 🇬🇧 was much better in this area. It’s Western Europe that really abused the US largesse). What’s silly though, is that if the West simply gave Ukraine what it needed, they wouldn’t even need to worry about this question.

  821. You must be kidding. The UK is the biggest enabler of capital flight/kleptocracy in the world. They actually invented it. Why do you think Russian oligarchs own half of the most expensive properties in London? And, just recently, the US has become as bad or even worse in terms of allowing dirty foreign capital. Yes, the US and the UK too I’m assuming, will go after non-sophisticated criminals like drug dealers who have no explanation for their income. But those are criminals only worth just a few million or less. The criminals with enough money and sophistication to employ a sophisticated web of trusts and shell companies have nothing to worry about it. The US and the UK actually WANT all that dirty money pumped in by kleptocrats, drug dealers, arms dealers, tax avoiders, etc. because it props up their currencies and empowers their financial institutions. They just don’t want it being visible.
    11
  822. Binary is right. Since day 1, I’ve said this is the rarest and simplest type of war there is: Good vs Evil. It seems we’re putting more effort into finding reasons to justify why Putin has done this than why and how we’re going to stop him.
    11
  823. As much as I detest Russia, this is a situation in which one cannot blame Armenia. It was more like a forced alliance. Russia has sold weapons to both parties, which is just a great example of how Russia has been trying to play both sides.

  855.  @valkenburgert  That’s a terrible comparison. First, pilot / type training sims are the most advanced in the world and there is no butt gyroscope in flying since you’re not on the ground. Moreover, it’s not about how to fly fast. It’s about ensuring you know all the proper steps/checklists, have good CRM skills, aren’t over reliant on the yoke, rudder, etc. and a million other things that have nothing to do with pushing.
    10
  856. I know. This pilot was such a hack. Such a fool. And a tool that got hundreds killed. If it hadn’t killed 100+, his recovery efforts would have been hilarious. Him just randomly yanking the yoke left and right. Just hoping he might get lucky. 🤦‍♂️

  864. Don’t forget to add raping women and little girls to your post. Also, let’s not forget, that as is usual with most wars, there are many more Russian soldiers not looting, raping and executing than Russian soldiers who are. You hear calls from shocked soldiers talking about horrifying stuff they’ve seen some other Russian soldiers do. What’s scary is that is usually commanders who set the tone. And some obviously are encouraging and participating in warcrimes. Obviously, there are a lot of units where the command structure completely broken down and soldiers are basically on their own, which makes them more likely to rob and rape if the area has no Ukrainian forces nearby.
    10
  865.  @nathan859  lol, it was more than a year before he said anything negative about Trump and he only started saying it when it was unavoidable that it would look ridiculous. It doesn’t take a political expert to see that Trump is hurting both the US and Ukraine: -he single handedly stopped a bill that would both solve the border crisis by closing it and help Ukraine with a new aid package that cost taxpayers basically nothing since the majority of the arms aid = very old arms that have been retired and are costing us lots of $ to scrap and de-arm.
    10
  866.  @cheztaylor8  How is it coming from the “taxpayer’s pocket” when those systems were paid for decades ago and were costing us billions to scrap? There are only a small amount of systems, which are coming of new spending budgets. And that amount is easily covered by the corporate tax revenue generated by sales of new equipment to foreign militaries and our military own alone that’s been spurred by seeing the effectiveness of our arms versus the crap made by Russia and China. Not to mention that you act like it’d be free to tax payers if we didn’t do anything and then encouraged China to invade Taiwan or allow Russia a stranglehold on a major part of the world’s grain supply. You’re either being disingenuous or haven’t considered all the knock on effects.
    10
  867. @ God are you naive. First of all, I’m not talking about just the EU or simply preferential treatment other countries wouldn’t get though yes we certainly do. Second of all, why do you think so many countries purchase exclusively US arms? Third of all, I can’t help you if you don’t understand our security guarantees (formal or implied) don’t come with economic benefits and special treatment. You think we’re still allowed bases in Japan because they think we’re just swell? Do you know how much more it would cost to project power into the pan-pacific without those bases?

  868. Afghan women showed more grit than the Afghan National Army who ran away without even before the Taliban arrived. Partly because they want to have legal control over women. What sad excuses for men the Afghans are.

  869. Austro-Hungaria failed to be a functional state because it was so multi-ethnic. It’s also why they didn’t win a single battle in the war they started. WWI Started not because archduke Ferdinand was killed but because he was no longer there to check the ambition of his field marshal to go to war whom he had rejected request to go to war no less than 16 separate occasions.

  874. It’s not just 🇰🇵‘s dud rate of approx 40% that’s a huge problem. Even w/non-duds, due to uneven levels of cordite (propellant) in each shell: a) they often explode destroying the artillery piece and kill or injure Russians b) damage and/or increase wear rate on barrels injure and c) with uneven propellant you can’t predict how far they’ll fly making them mostly worthless.

  885.  @bolbyballinger Yes, Russia will throw EVERYTHING at holding Tokmak. It’ll be bloodier than Bakhmut even. If Tokmak is lost, the war for Crimea, Zaporizhzhia and souther Kherson are all over because of all that territory becomes an island with no resupply as the only rail connection from the east comes through Tokmak. Which basically means the end of the war.

  886.  @Nibinin  With its immense size, I can believe it has the smoothest ride. I’d still rather fly the 747. The A380 is great when it’s in a Etihad, Emirates, etc. super luxury configuration. Otherwise it’s a giant minivan nightmare in the sky. I feel bad for Airbus that the A380 was such a financial disaster. So, I’d be happy to see them be able to sell some more models. However, I’d like to see a new 747 passenger model sales.

  889. Remember I predicted in Dec. they’d do a thunder run via S. Kherson to Crimea as its desert/steppe gets firmer w/rain, has no cities or natural barriers from which to defend. Ideal terrain for fast, mass mechanized attacks w/all AV types.

  905. I think we underestimate how good and how much endurance bowmen who grew up depending on long bows for food, defense, entertainment, etc. were. The bow likely became like an appendage. Sort of like how one of the reasons the Mongolians were unstoppable was because they were used to doing everything from horseback, especially bows since they were little children. It’s so different in comparison to archery simply as a hobby or even for competition. However, I have no doubt, many people have hilariously inaccurate theories on them.

Now it sounds like your’re talking about a multi-lane road in a city or suburb at night. A totally different scenario in my mind. One in which signaling would make sense. So, basically, it is down to the scenario. In the scenario I was thinking you meant, signaling is unnecessary.

I loved him addressing the KGB thing as it’s been one of my pet peeves/something I’ve tried to dispel for a long time. “He was always referred to as the former KGB agent which gave him special powers where he so brilliant he could play chess while standing on his head and, [etc.]” him calling out the dumb popcorn news media always prologue-ing profiles of Putin as KGB, despite him only having been a desk jockey and an early 20s stint in Germany spying students. It was clear 99% of these “experts” on TV knew absolutely not a single detail of what he ACTUALLY did while with the KGB.

  911.  @sebastianforbes1 Except 🇺🇦 never shelled civilians. Only Russian forces posing as separatists occupying its sovereignty territory and shelling Ukraine from the Donbas were shelled.

  916. PS - It’s hard to trust reporters this pretty. They were usually hired over much more qualified reporters/experts. Having lucked into a pretty wife, I see the unfair advantages they receive on a daily basis. But, hey, maybe this woman is a MacArthur Genius. As others have said, Mars is a pipe dream especially in terms of becoming a viable life raft for those on earth, which I know is a secret hope for “earthers.” Read The Expanse among others for a deeply imagined idea of what life and politics would be like on a colonized Mars. Update: The reporter went from "Brand Manager and model on Korean makeup" to "Manager of Brand Strategy at Vox."

If powerful member states have no vested interest in helping these countries. And if they don’t want it to happen or help fund it, then the UN cannot do anything.

  930.  @pavel9652  Not a trickle. 🇺🇦 has been pledged 6,000+ armored vehicles alone since Dec. w/ thousands already delivered. While Leopard + Challenger MBTs numbers are under 100, people forget about all the PT-91s also delivered. Combine that with 100 M2s (which will easily eliminate old and tanks at IFVs at a ratio of at least 10-1), CV90s, Marders, GLSDB, Avengers (mobile SAMs), HMMWVs with TOW missiles + every single Caesar in Demark, two dozen Archers (the most advanced mobile howitzer on earth), etc. and you’re looking at a serious force that will utterly crush the remaining armor Russia has left.

However, as I’ve often said , while their territorial gains have been disappointing in terms of area (in part due very delayed arms deliveries), they have hollowed every sector of the Russian military from manpower and its officer corps to its GLOCs and even its naval presence in the Black Sea. All that Russian weakness, while Ukraine is just 2-3 miles from a ridge line, which would give them control over Tokmak and it’s dominoes from there: once Tokmak falls, the entire South falls and once the south fails, the entire Russian army falls.

The reports are based on images of mines seen on roads around Lyman. The five-pound mines have a shaped charge which fires upwards when a vehicle drives over them; other mines immobilize a tank by destroying a track, the AT2 destroys them. These mines can be laid by hand or by rocket, with 28 parachuting down from one HIMARS warhead. While some have suggested the mines in Ukraine were laid by hand, others, including Ukraine’s Defence Express say they were delivered by HIMARS, which is supported by the presence of parachutes in some images.”

In an ordered retreat, as Russia claims it was, one does not leave behind vast amounts of your vehicles, weapons, ammunition, etc. An example of tactical withdrawal was Ukraine’s withdrawal from Severodonetsk and Lyschansk. And Ukraine now has come back and is attacking those two occupied cities now.

  1017. S-300 and S-400 missiles are the hardest to shoot down for three reasons: wild maneuverability, difficult to predict flight paths / trajectories, but most of all because they’re stationed very close to their targets + launch w/no warning which makes them really hard to intercept. Meanwhile, the advanced cruise and ballistic missiles allow for plenty of time to create a firing solution as they’re launched from detectable planes and ships with the missiles having to fly far.

  1019.  @StreetFreak9000  Clearly you know zero about American history let alone Vietnamese history. Aside from the facts that left/right ideology is irrelevant here or that liberal admins began this war, the NV/VC was the product of Vietnamese overthrowing a French colonial government and not a Russian invasion. Moreover, there was a home grown communist movement taking place in Vietnam. If there was a strong home grown democratic movement taking place, we would have had something to work with. Just like us, the Russians couldn’t have installed a sympathetic regime without organic Vietnamese support. More importantly, as we saw in the long term, most of these backwater countries did nothing for the cause of either side. So, while the doctrine of containment wasn’t inherently bad. Containment via fomenting regime change was. In the end, we were even overthrowing democratic regimes that were neutral (it wasn’t enough for the Dulles brothers to be neutral: if you didn’t publicly condemn the USSR, you were evil). Moreover, there weren’t Soviet boots on the ground. If you wanted a symmetric response, we would have armed and advised the SV. I don’t know why those on the right who think they have a monopoly on patriotism, feel the need to defend every and any war the US ever started or got involved with. It basically makes the assumption that all warfare must have somehow been driven by both conservative values and /or republican admins.

I love Japan too (spent the best three months of my life there), but these tankies are going to spout about 🇯🇵 in 🇨🇳 during WWII, which is always especially ironic because the CCP members hid in the mountains during the war and allowed the nationalists (with aid from Western allies) do all the fighting. Once Japan was booted out, they emerged from their caves (hundreds of thousands) and took power since most of the nationalists had died fighting in the war. Current Chinese text books however say that it was the CCP that saved the country during WWII. It’s amazing and disgusting.

  1047. A note on the casualties data: Ukrainian casualties are 65% more likely to survive than 🇷🇺 casualties. So, the % gap of KIA among casualties is large. This is due to a number of factors including the fact that Ukrainian soldiers have modern western medical packs and tourniquets, Ukrainian soldiers are much closer to medical service than Russians, Ukraine has more medics per soldier, Russian evac logistics are ATROCIOUS, Russian casualties are more likely to be abandoned and so on. Also, 🇷🇺 has an extreme number of MIAs, which would not be included in leaked data.

  1064. They’ve been doing this throughout the war. This isn’t even the first time they’re destroyed planes deep within Russian territory. They’ve destroyed major arms factories, logistic points, FSB offices, etc. deep inside Russia.
    8
  1065. Air superiority denotes an ability to operate beyond your own lines, which they don’t have. And the artillery gap is nowhere close to 10 to 1. Yes, maybe in artillery pieces in inventory, but not in deployment or operation. That said, Russian fortifications are only as strong as their logistics, which are fragile, but holding for now. There are hugely vulnerable choke points, which could quickly render their fortifications on a ticking clock to doom. To comprehensively take down their logistics though, Ukraine will require at least ATACMS and/or preferably F-16s too to enable them to get much closer to these critical and vulnerable rail junctures (ALL their logistics are solely dependent on rail, which is why the army’s rail division has 30,000 men working nonstop). In the mean time, attriting reserves, logistical hubs and artillery is what Ukraine should be and is doing. However, that will make this very slow work, unlike the movie many uninformed media and observers want to see where it’s all over in weeks or a few months after one big break through.

  1066. I don’t want them to negotiate, but I think Russia has been so truly weakened and Putin so terrified, if he was given some consolation concession to avoid regime change, I don’t think he’d dare try again. And even if he wanted to do, the elites wouldn’t let him let alone the economy. Again, I don’t think they should give him anything, but I no longer think this is a case of tricky Russia bidding for time.

  1080. 4 🇷🇺planes also got taken out by PATRIOT over Belgorod too. It stinks that it’ll be years before 🇺🇦 gets F-16s though. Training pilots for conversion on the F-16 is easy, but it’ll take years to setup up the maintenance chain without contractors and the Scandinavians don’t have enough technicians or contractors to spare and the US has said no boots on the ground, including civilian contractors. The normal timeframe for the mechanics: a) a year of training to be able to work on a jet under supervision. b) 3-4 years to qualify as a journeyman to supervise tasks. c) 6-10 years depending on AF to become a master able to certify work. F-16s use hydrazine too, which require special hazmat families which would make them easy to target.” Gripen is the only realistic option to get quickly get Ukraine a 4th gen fighter that can easily be maintained and prepped for sortieen

The thing you don’t seem to grasp is that nobody wins when either side uses nukes. There’s no winning.

Yes, they can spread out some via air, but there is no grass to hide them and they can’t spread enough of them to make a difference. Furthermore, helicopters will be easy picking on a pancake flat steppe without any terrain to hide them or choke points for then to target where they would know Ukraine has to go

  1126.  @smartlucker4011  Me too, but I think it’s actually safer to do it this way. Russia collapsing all at once would be the highest likelihood of Putin trying to use nukes.

You would think after the 10th or 20th complaint, they’d do a major fix let alone 65th in which they replaced all the parts in the throttle system or definitively identified the source and fixed it.

And, yes, I’m aware the captain was one of the two pilots in the fatal flight.

Also, by percentage of GDP, we’ve still given less than anyone else and what we have given has even actually cost us really since money since 80% of what we’ve given are retired or retiring arms and the aid package is almost solely spent at home buying new stuff for ourselves to buy brand new systems for our military. Only 10% of the $61b package is going to be spent directly on buying new US weapons and transferring them to Ukraine.
    7
  1137.  @darnit1944 The A10 cannot be turned into a multi role fighter due everything about it. It’d be cheaper to create an entirely new plane anyway because the A10 factory line shut down decades ago and like when Congress investigated making more F22s, they discovered it’d be cheaper to design a whole new plane from scratch than produce all the tooling, infrastructure, pay suppliers to reactive or build new facilities, etc. You can’t just make some tweaks to a plane from the 1960s and turn it into something it was never meant to do.

  1147. He was good, but more of a genius than Kelly Johnson? Not even close. Johnson figured how to fix a major aero riddle in the industry while still in college (his professor couldn’t even grasp his solution) that senior Lockheed engineers had failed to. He personally brought the solution to the CEO who instantly hired him and put him on the job. Then he just went on producing one revolutionary design after another for decades.

  1151. People without combat experience are assigned to humanitarian roles. If you have no combat experience or training, they won’t put you in the fight unless you’ve brought enough ammo, weapons and gear to be self-sufficient. They have more volunteer fighters than they can arm and coordinate at this point. If it hadn’t been so important for morale in the opening weeks of war, they might have regretted so indiscriminately handing out thousands and thousands of machine guns and millions of bullets to untrained men and women.

  1165. 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.

  1166.  @stacymcmahon453 Agreed on the JDAMSKI. While 🇺🇦 basically outperforms 🇷🇺 in every aspect of war better, it doesn’t help our cause not to admit where it might have real capabilities. This just leads to less chance of them getting more/new systems to tackle the threat.

Also, non-luxury clothing would have been nothing for a family that could afford to send their kid to a fancy boarding school.

  1195. Zero surprise Russia can only exert force by air w/a 70% conscript army and when u consider its army’s design: Conscripted Soldiers (Serve 1 Year) -paid less than $25 a month (way less since ruble collapse) -receive 3-4 months of basic training -serve for only a year, during which they are often victimized by their own officers, who often violently haze young recruits -Many receive MREs that expired years ago and insufficient ammunition Contracted Soldiers (3-Year Service) -Paid $1,100 per month -Receive roughly 3x more training -enjoy many opportunities for corruption including siphoning off conscript pay -Are given better equipment Russian Supply Lines Were Designed to Fail: The corrosive effects of the divide between conscript and contract soldier are multiplied by the army’s design, especially in Logistics & Transportations (the most important aspect of armed conflict without doubt). The most critical logistics units (fuel, ammo & food shipments) are heavily staffed by poorly trained conscripts. Incompetency and low morale in these critical units has a snowball effect, crippling front-line units. Most of the tanks, AVs, etc. destroyed were already abandoned after both or either getting lost and running out of fuel.

T-55s are also the easiest to get fixed and running. So, just because the T-55 is junk now, doesn’t mean it’d only make its appearance when tanks in better conditions are gone. Otherwise, Russia would already be out of tanks cause the T-55s appeared a long time ago.

  1212. I’ve never been worried about the Ukrainian leaders. It’s solely the “allies” I’m worried about. With the new house speaker + Slovakia’s new leader adding a 2nd opposition in the EU w/most of the non-Baltic EU countries already seeming to want any excuse not to provide anything, I am feeling we’re really edging to a precarious point politically. If Biden can get a funding bill through things should be fine. If not, beyond the US providing more than the entire EU combined, it will be disastrous as the EU will likely use it as an excuse to pull back.

    7
  1218.  @andmos1001  It’s a red herring to assert the Patriot system would require NATO personnel. I haven’t seen a single top expert state that would be required for the Patriot system to work in Ukraine. And even if it was, it’s just splitting rhetorical hairs at this point. If Russia would go nuclear for NATO personnel operating AA in Ukraine, they’ll go nuclear for something else.

  1220.  @Nibinin  That’s pretty cool (the fact she didn’t even realize you had lifted off). No matter the plane, economy isn’t fun, but I will admit it’s usually much more comfortable on newer aircraft and obviously some carriers have pretty nice economy sections. I actually don’t like super smooth cars or planes (paradoxically, it can make me feel a bit nauseous). I prefer to feel things (I guess it’s why I never get seasick). So, being ultra smooth, might be a minus for me. My favorite flight so far was in Polaris Biz/First on a 787-9 on a flight from LAX to Tokyo (Narita though - I know everyone prefers Haneda). Loved those huge pods and adjustable window tinting.

  1221.  @rowdy8814  BMDs are paper thin by design as they need to be able to be dropped by parachute. They have a 100% catastrophic classification of destruction rate when taken out. So, they’re the opposite of fine. No other armored vehicle is at more than 50% in terms of catastrophic loss let alone 100%.
    7
  1222. lol, you watched that DW interview where the Brit they interviewed “Shilly Shally.” I knew Scholz would fall back on that faulty German public opinion poll when they ran out of the allied tank demands. Then they needed to look at the logistical feasibility today. Apparently, despite this being an issue for a year, Germany has no idea how many tanks or spares they have. How can Germany be in NATO when they haven’t even spent 1% of GDP in defense in their history let alone the required 2% of GDP by NATO.

Because they would have Ukraine pull out months early instead of a few days later than ideal.

  1230. Pretty sure the first gator class ship that went down in Berdyansk was to due to improper munitions handling. However, if it wasn’t Russia has only itself to blame. A Russian state reporter literally went on TV broadcasting images of the ship mooring and a few hours later smoke was rising from, which was followed by a number of explosions and secondary explosions ((consistent w/a munitions handling accident).
    7
  1231.  @gumshew2007  The M30A1 is nasty:. It can blanket an area of over four football fields per rocket, so a salvo of six would blanket half a square mile. The new rockets are highly effective against trucks and other soft-skinned vehicles, which the Russian forces appear to be using increasingly. They are also extremely lethal against infantry; the M30A1 can burst high overhead, so shallow trenches provide little protection. Russia’s 300,000 new conscripts are likely to suffer heavy casualties as soon as they arrive. It even adjusts to the type of target: The missile uses computer modeling to calculate the optimum size, number, density and placement of fragments to ensure that a warhead produces the maximum possible effect against a specific type of target.
    7
  1232. Talk about short term political objectives at the expense of long term ones: allowing 3k casualties per day is going to be very bad for the political situation very soon.

First, during WWII, almost none of that heavy machinery had any electronics let alone extremely complex electronics that require parts produced in just a handful of factories in the world. Second, most of that industrial might we possessed at the time for producing basically everything from cars and toasters to radios and radar, are gone along with the millions of experienced factory workers, enormous ability to produce machine tooling, etc. We're just not the same country anymore. We'd still crush our enemies though if it came to a major war. So, I'm not worried.

The UK should become true heroes that force other countries to step by doing something like admitting they’re never going to need tanks for homeland defense and transfer every single tank they have to Ukraine.

I doubt Iran even actually wants the nukes because the threat of acquiring nukes is the only leverage they have to get sanctions lifted and money they desperately need as if the economic situations continues worsening the number of people who want to overthrow them will rise from 73% of the population and go even higher + leave people with nothing to lose and the regime is barely holding on already.

  1272.  @XL0G  Thanks. That is true, but while I may well be wrong, I simply do not trust him to not lie about his sources based on what he’s already displayed in terms of journalistic ethics and personal bias. While, I think he’d avoid major lies he could be caught out on, especially if Time editors are doing their due diligence. However, a status “mix up” of a cited source is the sort of seemingly small, but nefarious “error” that wouldn’t raise major alarm bells if caught and a “correction” was issued. If he’ll lie or at best misrepresent the facts on entire stories to fit a narrative, he’d twist (I.E., lie) a detail as small as this without second thought.

  1273. Russia isn’t making much from giving up their secrets: The 🇰🇵 shell dud rate of 40% isn’t the only problem. Even if they’re not duds, due to uneven levels of cordite (propellant) in each shell: a) they often explode destroying the artillery piece and kill or injure Russians b) damage and/or increase wear rate on barrels injure and c) with uneven propellant you can’t predict how far they’ll fly making them mostly worthless.

  1276.  @shabut They had to dance a fine line. They were expected to make true jokes about the royalty that were cutting without crossing an ambiguous line. They weren’t slapstick comedians as is often thought due to the silly hat we picture them wearing.

  1278. Exactly This is well documented. And voters were bitter that the elites suborned its will and it’s why turnout for Hillary was so low/she lost. Bernie would have easily won.

  1280. I trust him because for so long he was reporting things Ukrainians and their supporters didn’t want to hear. So, when the news is good, you can believe it. Also, he lives close enough to where the fighting is that you know word of mouth is at its most accurate. If I lived within Russia’s shelling radius, I feel like I’d have a pretty decent information pipeline.

  1287. This was a great video. Please do more like this if possible. Anyway, it shows how much of this is simply dependent on common sense, motivation + intelligence as even with zero training, almost everything discussed in terms of the proper way to maintain your position, minimize your detectability, go about mining, etc. are self-evident and vice-versa on differentiating between efficient and poor units. Though there was one mining trick that hadn’t occurred to me. And, of course, things like knowing how many mines to expect based on model is only something you could learn from shadowing a vet before going out on your own.

  1305. You’re well informed on geopolitics, but not about military strategy. They don’t need to take those built up cities. So, capturing them doesn’t matter. What matters is that taking Kremina and Svatove will cut off supplies to the entire region. Hell, they don’t even need to take either of those either. Just being able to harass them along their supply lines will instantly starve Luhansk of all supplies and will immediately end the Bakhmut offensive as well.

  1306.  @jf7243  The WWI ANZAC forces were legendary. Not surprisingly with gross incompetence being the rule rather than the exception among WWI military brass, a number of British generals looked down on ANZAC forces despite them delivering BY FAR the highest soldier to kill ration in WWI.

  1310. Some people might be thinking “you’re telling your kids about how to drink safely? They shouldn’t be at all!” It’s that approach that leads to binge drinking death and accidents, which are incredibly high in America where parents have that abstinence attitude while it’s incredibly rare in most European countries. It’s also why American kids starting college have crazy high rates of dangerous drinking.

IRL, EU aid = less than .1% of GDP + the US far less.

  1318. Finally, Kremlin troll, we’re sending only about $9b in actual currency/financial assistance. My own city of 300,000 or so has budgets bigger than $9b. $9b is .0001% of our annual defense budget.

  1330. Zero surprise Russia can only exert force by air w/a 70% conscript army and when u consider its army’s design: Conscripted Soldiers (Serve 1 Year) -paid less than $25 a month (way less since ruble collapse) -receive 3-4 months of basic training -serve for only a year, during which they are often victimized by their own officers, who often violently haze young recruits -Many receive MREs that expired years ago and insufficient ammunition Contracted Soldiers (3-Year Service) -Paid $1,100 per month -Receive roughly 3x more training -enjoy many opportunities for corruption including siphoning off conscript pay -Are given better equipment Russian Supply Lines Were Designed to Fail: The corrosive effects of the divide between conscript and contract soldier are multiplied by the army’s design, especially in Logistics & Transport (the most important aspect of armed conflict without doubt). The most critical logistics units (fuel, ammo & food shipments) are heavily staffed by poorly trained conscripts. Incompetency and low morale in these critical units has a snowball effect, crippling front-line units. Most of the tanks, AVs, etc. destroyed were already abandoned after both or either getting lost and running out of fuel.

  1332. With no training, my mom single handedly stormed an enemy outpost in Vietnam with a crossbow. She started things off by nailing a sentry at 300 yards in heavy wind through dense foliage. Next, wielding a bow in each hand and two loaded on her back, she shot four VC while cartwheeling to avoid machine gun fire. Then in CQB, she used bolts like Legolas to skewer the eyeballs and tracheas of the remaining 7 men. Again, all accomplished without ever having laid eyes on a CB until minutes before the mission. Trust me, bro…

  1336. Not counting Sweden’s Archers and CV90s, NATO countries have done huge work on the transfer of significant volumes of armored vehicles and ammunition: in total, since the beginning of 2023, it has been announced that the AFU will receive 890 units of infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and BATs (this equipment will be enough to staff ~ 29 mechanized battalions), more than 1.5 million units of ammunition, more than 80 self-propelled guns and howitzers, as well as means of delivering deep operational strikes (GLSDB is a type of ammunition for the HIMARS system, which is built around a planning bomb). the Ukrainian armed forces have begun to form 3 army corps based on both strategic reserve brigades and personnel brigades that actively took part in hostilities, as well as units that are currently in the process of being formed. We are talking about creating a "shock fist" of 75 thousand military personnel, which is designed to do what was previously not possible to implement during the Kharkov-Izyum operation - to mass the forces and conduct a continuous high-intensity offensive, without being distracted by losses or rotations.

  1345.  @abdullahiolownunow1235 OK, bot. The West’s problem is that many believe their support of Ukraine is an act of altruism. It’s not. It’s a cost effective and bloodless effort that will save us hundreds of billions or more in the long run. It’s already set a frightening precedent for China. If Russia cannot beat a country that shares a land border and is a third its size, how can they cross 100 miles of open sea, then make an amphibious landing with only two beaches right for the job which are backed by enormous mountains and strong coastal defenses and then maintain a line of communications aka supply chain across that same 100 mile ocean gap.

    6
  1357. But the key to winning is breaking through these lines. It’s the ability to break logistics choke points for the Russians (all rail). There several points at which they can achieve this, but they really need F-16s or at least ATACMS to be able take out the most important one (one we all know). The reason Russia lost so many men in Vulhedar was because they were hoping to secure a critical section of rail line that would have added a second major rail line to the Southern region.

Putin lucked into the role (he was actually nervous/stunned when first offered to take over Yeltsin before his term was up (in order for the public to learn who he was and get used to him before the next election) . It would have gone to Nemstov if Yeltsin didn’t have such a personal dislike for the guy. Putin was only picked as a compromise successor as he was largely an unknown quantity (therefore hadn’t ruffled anyone’s feathers) and someone who the elites thought they could easily control.

We’ll need to step up our EWS in the West and significantly improve upon current DEWs (direct energy weapons). For DEWs it’s mostly a matter of finding extremely dense power sources that don’t take up ridiculous amounts of space when it comes to APS type systems for AVs, manned aircraft, etc. I’m sure the Gerald Ford class will have something pretty great with that NPP, which they’ve made a few factors more powerful because they know the carrier’s power demands will rapidly increase for years.

  1383.  @hardtackbeans9790  Possible, but highly unlikely. Not only did its timing sure seem intentional, but even PRIOR to the event, they passed a law forbidding investigation of dam collapses in occupied areas. So, that’s either incompetence of the highest order in concealing their plans or brazen contempt for the need. I’d been worried they’d do it in the weeks leading up to it. Even wrote an article about how the West needed to warn Russia so, at the very least, they could use the move to justify supplying weapons they hadn’t before if Russia did it. But the wimps didn’t only not even do that, but they also barely made a peep about it when Russia did. Possibly giving Putin the dangerous impression the West didn’t consider it a big deal and wouldn’t in the future. Setting a dangerous precedent for them to test the limits or even lead them to do the same to the ZPNP believing the West too cowardly to respond meaningfully.

  1384. Boots on the ground is an awful idea and if they committed the arms necessary totally unnecessary. With the US faltering, the EU really needs to lead the military supply effort for the first time in its history. There is no country they need to worry about attacking them. And if they’re legitimately worried about it, they can quickly replace a lot of their stock through purchasing from South Korea (they can’t buy arms for Ukraine from SK, but they can replace their own) and a collection of other arms exporters for short term needs (EU and especially US arms makers have longer backlogs). France has been especially weak in their arms support for how big their industry and relatively deep their inventory n

  1406. The F15 was designed to be able to deploy nukes when we were still trying to work out our ICBMs. That’s one of the reasons it was so big and heavy.
    6
  1407.  @marcel84marcel Listen, Ivan, we’re PAYING to not give them weapons like DPICM which we continue to scrap by the ton at a cost of tens-of-millions of dollars. Most of what we gave was retired and therefore cost us nothing to provide.
    6
  1408. 2:00 - for some reason that group image is terrifying and ominous. Like something from a horror film.
    6
  1409. Wow, someone with common sense on when it comes to energy and minimal carbon footprint.
    6
  1410. The DITA’s like a 🇨🇿 Archer. I like how they’re wisely being extremely protective of this advanced SPH. They’ve got it in a dug out deep enough to cover the chassis.
    6
  1411. As a Jew with a collection of BMWs, I knew BMW was important in supplying aircraft engines and other important things, but had no idea how enthusiastic its founder was about exploiting slave labor and Jewish owned businesses. However, I accept the fact why many of the families did not want to proactively learn the truth. That would take extraordinary courage.

  1412. I think Muscovites misunderstood the meaning of a “fire sale.” 🔥🔥🔥

  1413. That pipeline is not new. You think you can just put up a pipeline over night?

  1414. Has the Kremlin taken Kyiv yet? Thought it was supposed to take 3 days..lol. Russia has been humiliated by a small country.
    6
  1415.  @CryptidRenfri  The SeaBaby has taken out 4-5 Russian ships so far. Less cursed and more still chronically incompetent and undisciplined.
    6
  1416.  @RyanSprehe He used to talk about setbacks. Rarely now. 🇺🇦 is slowly but steadily losing ground in some vip areas but 🇷🇺 is paying too heavy a price. Only following RFU you’d be barely aware of it. However, he provides very good details about the areas he does cover.

  1417. Ice to see you! is their national motto.

  1418. 🇰🇵 isn’t going to give 🇷🇺 its best soldiers. The regime is permanently paranoid about 🇰🇷. They’ll send the worst they have.
    6
  1419. Meanwhile, 🇺🇦’s economy has exceeded all growth projections + its budgetary management met or exceeded all targets set when the ECB issued it loans.

  1422. Iva got railroaded. She should have gotten a medal rather than infamy. Amazing that so many awful war crimes by the Japanese went unpunished yet she got jail time.

  1423. Did Viktor Pugachev listen to the now exiled Pugacheva? BTW, a required touchdown speed of 350kmh is crazy!

  1424.  @yoichikirigami607  And tons of violence. Don’t forget to factor that into the short life expectancy. And suicide. Life expectancy gains aren’t very impressive when u favor that in.

  1428. Everything in Nagasaki and Hiroshima was built with extremely light wood w/rice paper windows and no basements. It was like basically being outside. Concrete buildings with basements are very survivable unless you’re very close to the epicenter.
    6
  1429.  @andmos1001  I see either the Russian “diplomacy” bots or the German business as usual bots are back out in full force. The nerve and disingenuous of comparing air defense to NATO troops is stunning.
    6
  1430.  @darex0827  India only pays in rupees, which CANNOT be used outside of India and India doesn’t sell anything they want. They’re barely making money from China. So, no, they won’t always have a lot of $.

  1432. This video was both hilarious and informative. I was aware people were angered by cars when they first appeared and many wanted to ban them, but I had no idea it was this contentious.
    6
  1433. The US isn’t pressuring Ukraine to negotiate. They only want it to LOOK like they’re open to it to appease the people who say “Ukraine won’t even negotiate.”
    6
  1434. Russians are already complaining the North Koreans are useless, have no idea what to do with them and officers were furious that armored vehicles had to be given over to them.

  1437. Continuing fantastic job.

  1438. I am a paraglider and there is a champion female pilot who got sucked up into a storm cell and reached 51,000+ feet. She basically froze, which allowed her to survive the oxygen deprivation for an extended period. She was unconscious for 20 mins with a bpm of about 2-5. Finally, her wing collapsed from too much ice, she descended unconscious until the ice melted at lower altitudes enough for wing to expand, which broke off the rest of the ice and the jolt of her wing opening back up brought her back to consciousness. She was able to survive with only frostbite injuries. A fellow paraglider wasn’t as lucky and was killed while being sucked up with her by a lightening strike.
    6
  1439. I’m a conqueror! I was able to defeat Georgia, Chechnya and 1/8th of Moldova. What a list! …and even Chechnya kicked my teeth in until I I found a traitor to betray his country.
    6
  1440. Yup, 90% of the fighting took place in Ukraine despite many ignorantly calling Soviet occupied blocs “Russia.” Leningrad was just a salient that was the final location of part of an already worn down German army. And, unlike Ukrainian cities, the city had months to prepare massive defenses.
    6
  1441. It’s funny you mentioned flashing lights. The Soviet LOVED flashing lights. It made all their systems look so cool. Their nuclear plant control rooms looked like something straight out of a Star Trek production.
    6
  1442. Well done, 🇬🇧. With the US joining the Axis powers, your efforts are more important than ever. Cheers from the kingdom of 🇺🇸.

  1443. Russia does use many conscripts, but he tends to keep the ones from the wealthier areas safe.

  1444. Catholicism quickly took hold in southern Japan. So, I highly doubt many Japanese thought this.

  1445. It’s funny, I always also notice nature and it makes me relaxed that they don’t care unless loud noises. Reminds of this GOT quote: “It often comforts me to think that even in war’s darkest days, in most places in the world absolutely nothing is happening.” - Brynden 'Blackfish' Tully

  1448.  @gerardwhiteway6016  Uh, F1 used to have tires that allowed them to run flat out during every stint. Don’t confuse six months as an F1 fan after you watched DTS w/knowing F1’s history. They were primarily stopping for fuel and often didn’t change tires. You must have confused flat out and no tire stops. Another thing F1 has done before (wasn’t a fan).
    6
  1449.  @VIPMVPanyquestions  Cool story, Ivan.
    6
  1450. The SBU has been very careful with how they work with the press. They make sure to authorize all the areas they film in and then before they release video they review it to make sure nothing is shown they didn’t want. If a publication publishes something they didn’t want shown, they are no longer given any access.
    6
  1451. This is the area where Russian COs are welding “refuseniks” into armored vehicles to force them to attack. It’s like 40K servitors, but w/none of the tech.
    6
  1452. The bots: we are still winning despite the fact that our rail system has fallen apart, we’ve failed to achieve a single objective, our economy has fallen apart, we had to ban exports on refined petroleum until at least 2025 and so on and so on.

  1459.  @andrewjoeljackson4653 Ah, but F1 has lot so much entertainment factor with those new quiet, super efficient power units. It’s also not really the ICE that makes it so efficient. It’s the entire power unit with engine braking harvest, brake harvesting, etc.
    6
  1460. There’s literally endless amazing stories out there easily discovered. Just lose yourself down a wiki rabbit hole and you’ll find enough stories worth telling to cover a hundred years. What blows my mind is that there is any boring content out there with so much great material.
    6
  1461.  @johngotti4398  What territory have they taken since Lyschansk? None.
    6
  1462. Wow, leave it to science to “discover” and declare something that anyone with common sense and eyes ALREADY KNEW (I.E., most individual animals have unique personalities let alone chimps). Humans had also observed animals using tools too. Only difference is they didn’t publish it in a scientific journal. It doesn’t take anthropomorphic projection to see this. I bet farmers and ranchers got a kick out of this amazing declaration. lol

  1466.  @PerunAU  So, Perun/you, Reporting from Ukraine, Anders Nielsen, Justin Bronk (RUSI), The Eastern Border (pod), Ukraine the Latest (pod), Suchomimus, ISW + a few Russian Mil Bloggers combined will you give 98% of what you could possibly need.

  1467. Nah, it’s like ALL-BUNNY. I know cause I’m from America and we’re never wrong. And I’ll invade if you say otherwise.

  1470. I love how much love crows have been getting the past few years on The Dodo and in the media in general. It basically took the net and YouTube for science to recognize their intelligence is off the charts.

  1471. Ironically, one reason 🇺🇦 victory is so important = it’ll become the affordable armory of Europe afterward. They have tons of experience, expertise and more critically, economic labor. They will basically become Europe’s South Korea.

  1475.  @nicktaylor2287 Uh, if you actually bothered to pretend to be even remotely truthful you’d never have said that because none of the sources who used satellite photos to count Russian tanks EVER said anything of the sort. So, try again “Nick Taylor.” As of around December, those using satellite photos said Russia had about 2 years of tanks left assuming most of their tanks were repairable. Russia will never run out of BMPs, but MBTs and APCs such as BRTs will be in scarce supply if they continue to lose armor at the current rate. If they’re willing to basically have zero tanks and APCs in reserve, they can go at least another year, but that will just ensure they’re defenseless and or unable to exert their will on land in any of the other many places they’re occupying or at war in.
    6
  1476.  @ibagm.8  Denys has pronounced Bakhmut done for hundreds of times and for months, (to his credit, he sometimes owns this), never understands what the AFU is trying to do there and generally seems not to do his homework. He’s good for summarizing headlines and stories from the past 24 hours, but for people looking to understand WHY/HOW things are changing on the ground, he’s not the best source. It takes a lot of time and research to do what Reporting from Ukraine does. He probably doesn’t have time to do all the other things he does and also go into the map (that’s where he loses the plot) and explain what Russian and Ukraine are doing, what’s vital and what’s not, etc.
    6
  1477. I like this new highly dotted map of forces/settlements. It will be a HUGE coup if they can gain a ton of prisoners from Lyman.
    6
  1478. Yup. He knew we shouldn’t have helped Russia at all.
    6
  1479. Don’t be heartless. For all the monsters, many more of the Russians didn’t want to be there. We need to be better than them and not revel in every death.
    6
  1480. Nice try, bot. The reality is 20,000 Russians cut off from supplies and reinforcements. Russia has been trying to send in reinforcements from Crimea and Ukraine waits for them to load barges completely and then blow them up to maximize the damage.
    6
  1481. And they’re about to make sound identical to how your pronounce Yrpes.

  1482. It sounded like she was encouraging you to do the same.

  1483. When my neighbor died, I just walked in and said “This is mine. He willed everything to me.” When they asked for proof I just said “nine-dash line.”

  1484. So, Scholz finally caved apparently. It only took 🇺🇸 committing 50 MBTs which require its jet engine removed for servicing, 15 gallons per hour AT IDLE of JP8 jet fuel, etc. Sounds like a GREAT fit for 🇺🇦. Thanks, Scholz. That said, if Ukraine can sustain the M1, it will be an utterly gorgeous sight to see them cutting through Russian tanks like they were made of tissue. They are insanely powerful.

  1485. Luckily, the life expectancy for men in Russia is about 42. So, not many should make it.

  1490. Russia is happy as long as people debate what really happened instead of what Russia has been doing to civilians in Ukraine this week.

  1493. The fax thing isn’t as astonishing as it appears. The fax as a still widely used tool is a quirk due to the language making hand written communications preferable for a number of tasks. Their biggest use is actually for lunch orders. Millions of bento boxes 🍱 are ordered daily via fax.

  1494. Credit to an actually honest, good and reasonable cop.

  1495. Cool story, Ivan.

  1496.  @sogerc1  Exactly. Something I also usually point out when responding to posts like the one I initially responded to. And Stalin froze in a panic for nearly a weak after Hitler invaded, hiding in his dacha and expecting a bullet. That week of paralysis cost millions of lives. M
    5
  1497.  @kogorun  Russophilia?! I didn’t even talk about Russia in my post. I talked about a biased author’s agenda. So, yeah, you’ve instantly discredited yourself. And, actually my day job includes analyzing Sino and Eastern European geopolitics as well as the domestic affairs of these states. I was also double majored in Russian history major and political science at UCLA (not that that is especially applicable or makes one qualified in isolation).

  1498. “Why are you filming?!” The question of someone brainwashed or who knows they’re doing wrong.

  1499. I now tell all my “combat stories” at the local pub. My barmates know how I single handedly liberated Ukraine despite the war still being fought.

  1500. Why do you think Germany’s SPD delayed so much? Loads of kompromat: ”In the last 20 years every single male SPD member has been hosted all expenses paid by Russia and they always just happen to meet a beautiful young woman (or man) who just insists they can’t resist going back to these old men’s hotel rooms for the night. They also like keeping the lights on for some reason while “cuddling.” It’s almost like they were worried about making sure a camera could see...weird.”

  1503. Seagal thinks global jurisdiction and US law enforcement participating in highly local criminal investigations is completely normal.
    5
  1504. A fundamental fact is being ignored: Russia’s supposed economic resiliency is a fantasy. Since Q2 2022, 🇷🇺 stopped providing the IMF any of the required documentation to substantiate numbers they’re claiming, but for some reason the IMF hasn’t stopped lending their credibility to those numbers or rejected their submissions wholesale.
    5
  1505. Oof, cheesy yet accurate.
    5
  1506. Well, no one on set is allowed to correct Seagal. So, I’m not surprised.
    5
  1507. Exactly. It’s stupid question to even use as a platform for analysis.
    5
  1508.  @Zuluknob Oryx undercounts. They literally only list losses they can visually. LMAO. Try harder.
    5
  1509. Many of the Lyman troops were killed and a handful captured. Then there were plenty of casualties too. So, it’s anybody’s guess if the troops who got out still form functioning units. Not even the functional units have been particularly effective.

  1510.  @lilstubthumb  75% of business trips are really not essential. However, flying for other reasons are necessary for the economy.

  1511. This should apply to almost all types of racing and used to. Once upon touring car classes were actually truly stock and then pretty close. But it became a slippery slope and when they started doing homologation specials it all collapsed.

  1512. That’s the average age of their new recruits too.

  1513. It boggles the mind that a guy who would normally be a janitor’s assistant somehow became president in Belarus. Humiliating.

  1516. The amount of Russian and Chinese shills in this comments section is astounding. A “firehose of misinformation” indeed.

  1517. Because doesn’t it happen that often. Don’t get me wrong there are many solid cops, but there are a lot more with a tyrannical, meat head attitude.
    5
  1518. I feel like the medical people have it even harder. They don’t get to have the laughs, it’s always high stress, none of the fun parts of being a soldier (most of the soldiers say some parts are fun) and they get a lot less recognition.
    5
  1519.  @braveworld2707  Beautiful words. However, even volunteering at an animal shelter helps take the load off (pets left homeless by owners who are dead or fled). So, there’s stuff anyone can do. Or simply helping fundraiser a few hundred bucks a month or even year if you can’t find many willing makes a difference. One drone can save a life or take out a 5 million dollar tank.
    5
  1520. Yes, Boeing and Lockheed’s virtual monopoly on commercial and military aircraft in the US is not good for the country and it’s not even optimal for them. I’d say there’s a glimmer of hope as some new companies are finally gaining real traction in the Pentagon’s procurement ecosystem for the first time in decades.

  1526. lol, I think he has stopped making movies. Although, technically this was a short lived TV series. Short lived because he murdered the crews and their families in fat blood.

  1527. I am surprised Turkey hasn’t sought to become a nuclear power. They likely have the technical means. However, it is a HUGE expense. BTW, what is the graphics pack you use?
    5
  1528. Oh, he knew. He wouldn’t have OK OK OK in relief when he realized it was the camera and threw it back. He was obviously incredibly embarrassed too. “Hey, bro. You broke your back cause I was playing around with my camera.” Guy got the entire fleet grounded temporarily.
    5
  1529. ⁠ @wakingtheworld I looked it up and news articles confirm the fact. The channel didn’t want to include that inconvenient piece of evidence. Amazingly, the leader of the investigative task force was accused by her OWN COLLEAGUES of destroying evidence that showed he had an alibi for the 1 murder he was convicted of, she failed a polygraph on that question and on whether or not she had coached her witnesses (yes, I know polygraphs are unreliable BS, but still it’s clear she was corrupt) and their entire case was based on jailhouse boasting and someone saying he saw him with two of the prostitutes. If the guy wasn’t pure scum, there’s no way he gets convicted. But since he was basically a homeless drug addict with a penchant for beating up women, he’d never have been convicted.
    5
  1530. Most early 2000s thing ever caught on video. “Let’s get going, the rave is about to start.” “Hold up! I need my 99 cent yo-yo with two tiny LEDs!”
    5
  1531. Yes, odds are that when they did occur it was to decide small, local battles. There is about zero chance that battles that would precipitate major geopolitical changes would be decided by single battle. One needs to be careful with mentions of single in the chivalric era. Most times these are romantic fantasies inspired by Arthurian legend.
    5
  1532. That just an assumption you’re making. If you watched the video, he says she’s awful. Moreover, he isn’t usually being asked about Hillary or her voters. So, you’re not getting his views on them. BTW, I personally dislike Hillary quite intensely.

  1537. They looked like they didn’t want to get their designer boots and jackets dirty.

  1538.  @Bertiesghost  He wasn’t close. In his little mind he was. He proposed the union of Russia and Belarus that he’s now back pedaling out of because he was delusional enough to believe Russians would actually accept him as their leader once its leader died and retired and he offered himself to become ruler of both.
    5
  1539.  @rodney8075  I have. I was a Russian history major. He was never close to becoming the joint leader. That was his ambition and plan. It’s why he agreed to a unification process he subsequently stalled and backpedaled on. There is no evidence the Russian leadership ever considered Lukashenko as a candidate to lead. End of story.

  1541. If they can get armor across the Dnipro, Ukraine will have an axis of attack where wet weather only makes the ground firmer because it’s mostly sandstone with sandy soil that gets nice and firm with rain. Not to mention the literal county sized area of Sahara style desert.

I’ve seen thousands of calls and interviews with Russian people and less than 10% care about the suffering of not not only their neighbors, but even their families own countrymen. There’s something deeply wrong with its people.
    5
  1551. Well, Russia had months and months to dig in and they’re still getting steamrolled.
    5
  1552. Not sure if you saw, but Russia attempted and lost another bridge crossing at the same place they lost two BTGs earlier. The UAF snuck up and blew it up when the Russians just kind of wandered away for no apparent reason and left it undefended.
    5
  1553. There are so many dumb jokes about how supposedly unsafe Boeing is when the quality control issues have been confined to one sub-model and we’ve yet to see any of those problems result in any crashes. The software issue a few years ago had nothing to do with quality control. However, I am in full agreement that McD has ruined Boeing’s culture and brought it to where it is today.

  1554. Donkeys are super protective of the animals and humans around them. It’s a big part of the reason they sometimes show a lot of aggression. I love donkeys.

  1555. Your 3D rendering was missing the Tower of Vlaudron. It’s only 18cm high though. So, it’s just possible it was hidden behind a tree stump.

  1557. He can’t even keep his lies about Ukraine straight. The new territories! I mean historical Russian territories! 😂
    5
  1558. Because they’re usually not reports of jenky Russian airlines. Watch the 1995 doc Airplanski to understand the flying culture there. It’s part of the same culture that has led to the Russian army being destroyed by a country that wasn’t supposed to last three days.
    5
  1559. Lol. There’s a reason the most cliched saying (and likely accurate) is that being a pilot is “hours of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror.” The same is often said about war, but I think it’s much more appropriate for being a pilot. And one should replace hours with “years.”
    5
  1560.  @hq3473  Wow, you got any other earth shattering news, bro? Look at the map, you can also get there without going across it, but if they chose to go across, Russians forces are pretty light there and will be drawn away by the need to defend the route to Melitipol and Berdydansk. Moreover, there are islands in the middle of the river. So, it’s not one big leap. Why do you think AFU special forces are always doing reconnaissance by combat missions there? Also, the US and I’m forgetting the second country have just given them highly specialized pontoon bridges and the training to boot. Don’t you think it’s also suspicious that Ukraine is so often announcing they’ll be focusing on Melitipol for their offensive?
    5
  1561. You’re referring to a largely American-centric and pro-American view of the world that serious Western academics and experts have excised from their analyses. However, the more traditional “academics” and “experts” get more traction in the media because they’re telling people what they want to hear.

  1563. My brain was moving in slow motion when I read this and it took a long beat for the joke to sink in. 😂

  1564.  @enrikdaka2183  It’s true. However, he knows this is targeted to an interested, not geopolitical expert level audience. So it comes off as arrogant, which it is.
    5
  1565.  victor bonello  Think of the long term economic implications of giving Russia control of half the world’s food and fertilizer supply + the economic crises that would result from China seeing we’ll allow countries to seize land to save ourselves short term economic pain. Then China moves on Taiwan and we either allow them to have it, which gives them a virtual monopoly on semiconductors and other critical components supplied mostly by Taiwan or we defend Taiwan and it results in an economic catastrophe 100x times worse. People like to thank WWII veterans for all they sacrificed, but people like you aren’t even willing to tolerate a short term economic downturn for the sake of long term stability let alone what’s right.

  1567.  @АнтониоМарлевски  Just remember this, z-bot, even if 🇷🇺 took Kyiv tomorrow this war would still be a humiliating disaster w/zero benefits: a ruined economy, ruined energy infrastructure, a decimated military, reputation in tatters, demographic collapse, etc. And that’s a best case scenario. A more likely scenario = all that + eventually being forced out of Ukraine completely a few years from now when Tsar Grandpa finally dies.
    5
  1568.  @Ebb0Productions Zoom out and tell me it’s “a lot of land.” We’re talking about .01% this year at the cost of hundreds of billions of dollars and countless deaths. Great exchange!
    5
  1569. But nice try at seeding the narrative that 🇷🇺 is doing well. The truth is neither are doing well right now. 🇺🇦‘s situation is much easier to turn around though. If the US and EU countries are willing to go beyond spending .127% of GDP on aid (that’s the literal number for the EU and even less for the US).
    5
  1570. Rather than a question of money, it’s a question of how many lives do you sacrifice for a remote chance of rescuing one man. I would think maybe a better tactic would be seeing if the pilot could make his way somewhere safer. Or have them stay hidden until the forces moved on.
    5
  1571. This is just a common story for those days. There are countless stories of far, far worse depredations. Just think of the many who watched their families slaughtered, then taken as slaves, assaulted endlessly, forced to drink urine and follow their captors around on a leash for years.

  1575. FYI: The House is taking yet another week off before this vote is supposed to happen. So, no vote this week for sure and in order for the vote to be a simple majority he needs to clear a procedural vote requiring all GOP votes.

  1576. He threw away a very promising future: According to MailOnline, the British youngster detained in connection with the bomb hoax on an EasyJet flight is a chess genius who has been given a seat at Cambridge University. Aditya Verma, 18, allegedly boasted on Snapchat that he would knock up the plane carrying tourists to Menorca, writing, “I’m going to blow this jet up, I’m a Taliban.”

  1577.  @dewboy910  lol, it’s like they expect him to be screaming and crying. I support what he’s doing, but all these worshipful comments are very cringe.
    5
  1578. Yeah. She’s hot.
    5
  1579. It’s funny that some say he’s part of Ukrainian propaganda when for weeks many were accusing of him being the opposite because he was sharing bad news. He just tells like it is and one side or the other is going to get upset by the truth.

  1583.  @Cynderfan35  I didn’t say they could and Ferrari is the LAST team Newey would ever sign for. RBR understood him as a person and have given the perfect work/life balance (allowing him to step away when he’s burnt out or bored with F1) as well as equity in the team and the power to not be overruled by business execs outside the team. He knows what a cluster f Ferrari is, how they’d expect him to be there 24/7, how they’d interfere endlessly, etc. Stroll probably did offer him some insane amount if given the chance. So, $25m is nothing.
    5
  1584. It was a mechanical failure. Not gas, but still amazing and embarrassing for the FBI.

  1585. The protestors basically just need some weapons and not very many. It’s hard to overthrow a government when they can mow you down impunity/ZERO fear of harm.
    5
  1586.  @MauMenzori edit: I see you meant those 24 hours played a lot more into his eventual injuries than an extra hour with the cops. I agree.
    5
  1587. 🇷🇺 has ground itself down so much for political narratives + w/no concern for sustainability that 🇺🇦 will be able to hold it back from making any significant gains from here on out, but it won’t be able to focus on regaining large swaths of territory now that they’ll need to be conserving materiel. They still have lots of pledged arms incoming though with long term commitments for many partners. So, they won’t be running out of arms. My greatest concern in terms of potential new partners is that South Korea will now not change its policy in order to not alienate Trump. The North Korean troops, without their own armor, are more a hindrance than a help and Russia’s economy is too fragile and its stock to worn down to continue for long.
    5
  1588. Sadly, Putin could have said he hated Trump and would wipe us out and the interview was still going to work. Tucker interviewing Putin was simply a signal to the base: support Russia.

  1590.  @burritosls  Your economy was smaller than Italy’s when the world began and Russia hasn’t submitted a single doc to the World Bank or IMF for more than a year since they basically lost 90% of their energy export market. Wonder why that might be? 🤔

  1592.  @Snohup  That would mean they now have daily flights, which means the airport is doing better than expected.
    5
  1593.  @jaknyfe5036 I doubt you know anything. You’re just worried about the “woke agenda.” There were pharaohs who were black, but they were from Sudan and not the original or final rulers of Egypt. Most people confuse the later Ptolemaic rulers (who were white Macedonians) with what the pharaohs looked like or were. But that was, oh, just more than a millennium later.
    5
  1594.  @nathan859  No way. The MAGA crowd is bored by anyone besides Trump. They may get a kick out of his sidekicks for a day or so, but the movement will fall apart when he’s gone.

  1595. They’ll need to build brand new landing strips to be able to keep their Bears and Black Jacks flying in meaningful numbers because they require much stronger runway strips than normal commercial airports

    5
  1599.  @looinrims That’s called hindsight. You’ll be amazed to learn that people cannot base decisions on actions yet to have occurred. And with France’s admiral clearly trending toward actions that would see the demobilization of the fleet put in Axis hands followed by an Admiral refusing to even speak with a Captain, it’s not hard to see why they did what they did. At worst, you could say they made a cold blooded decision. A war crime? Laughable.
    5
  1600.  @mrparts  Extremely unlike he cares about upsetting SW execs considering he works in Europe and now, with his channel’s popularity, doesn’t even need to worry about job security in terms of his job as a pilot.
    5
  1601. The people that need these tips are hopeless.

  1602. And as all the backsliding on buying Russian energy shows, they were right to. France, Spain and Belgium could give two 💩s about Ukraine as is clear from their pathetic support and huge recent Russia energy purchases.

  1603. As a child, I absolutely loved turbulence. Not so much now despite being able to pilot fixed wing aircraft. Go figure.

  1604.  @plektosgaming  Definitely should be thoroughly studied as a possibility. Built in automated protections have often saved pilots from themselves.

  1605.  @oskarelmgren  It’s a good point. It played into why he HAD to fly the approach and likely was another layer on top of the FO not taking over in time.

  1609.  @HaukeLaging  Because quantity has a quality all its own. Really, rather than those antiquated missiles, they should be providing a lot more. France has gotten away with providing the absolute minimum of support. At least Germany is losing all credibility/trust for its efforts to throw monkey wrenches into the effort. Yes, I know in terms of aid, they’re near the top (not with lethal aid though), but their economy is also almost as big as many of the other EU members combined. An economy made possible by cheap Russian gas, spending almost literally nothing on defense (hey, why spend when America is spending for you, right?) to a fund a luxurious welfare state (I think a luxurious welfare state is a good thing in isolation BTW) and having dug deep into the Chinese consumer market as a massive net-exporter.

  1611.  @johnvannisselroy6197 To be fair, I am quite sure their casualties during the Zaporizhzhia offensive are into the thousands, but unlike the Russians, their casualties don’t have a 90% KIA rate. But they certainly have lost nowhere close to hundreds of vehicles. Not even 100.

  1620.  @maxbracegirdle9990  I just mentioned The Mando / directing to remind folks he was not only still in the game, but thriving. The TV series In The Heat of the Night too should be mentioned too. His comedic performance in Happy Gilmore. And I actually think Action Jackson was amazing.

  1628. It’s disgusting reputable publications give David Sachs a platform. What is The Economist’s excuse for giving this transparently disingenuous agent a microphone?
    5
  1629.  @laars0001  In this case, it’s a valid discussion re: how would we contain the nukes if Russia fell into complete chaos and/or would we see multiple wars break out on the territory requiring intervention. So, your analogy is too simplistic. While I don’t think we should let that concern make us hold back to the detriment of Ukraine, it’s silly to pretend there’s nothing to worry about. Too big too fail is a term that was coined in 2008 when deciding which banks and insurance companies would be bailed out. There are institutions that really can’t allowed to collapse.

  1638.  @gayprepperz6862  93% Yes 7%: the results of a poll from Gallup a week after Germany invaded W. Europe on 5/10/1940. The poll used this question: ”Do you think the United States should declare war on Germany and send our army and navy abroad to fight?”
    5
  1639.  @gayprepperz6862  The question now is can you admit you were wrong about public support for joining the war? I noted that you were right about many still holding isolationist views before WWII began.

  1640. You made me choke on water when you said “The Seagal, who definitely only has one chin...:” 😂
    5
  1641.  @zedeyejoe  Only the Leopard 2 makes any sense. It’s the only tank where there are counties with full maintenance facilities and warehouses full of parts right on the border. I’m proud of the M1, but even Ukraine said they don’t want them. Besides being the heaviest of all tanks, they’re the Lamborghini of tanks in terms of reliability, fuel consumption and maintenance complexity.
    5
  1642. It is also better for the channel because YouTube will give you better visibility for publishing five 10-min videos and one 25-30 min video over 4-8 weeks.

  1647. So, basically, they’re exactly like every other group of people. When in dire poverty, a number of them do anything to survive whether they like it or not, a small number are criminals and a small number are smart enough to break away and succeed. Story as old as time. Only difference is that for some reason the term gypsy attracts people’s interest.
    5
  1648. Luckily, Ukraine has drastically underreported its trained manpower. More than 75,000 soldiers have been trained since 2022 and this doesn’t include combat medics and systems specialists. I base this on actual research and documentation.

    5
  1652.  @marresjepie1887  He wasn’t whining about anything. He literally said they thought they might not be able to afford the energy bill for a custom and how it didn’t happen. He wasn’t saying “oh we’ve got it so hard” or “we don’t like this war because of energy costs.” PAY ATTENTION.
    5
  1653. One important difference in Russian tactics is that, due to critically artillery shortages, they know Ukraine can’t afford to target low value targets. So, they’ll send 1-2 men at a time forward and build up forces piecemeal extremely close to the line of contact before Ukraine can afford to begin hitting back.
    5
  1654. Maybe for a future video. My grandfather served as a doctor on a carrier which sailed along the coast of South America (heard some great stories about 1940s Peru). Did anything interesting ever happen on the Pacific side of SA? Fun fact: he was Jewish and unfortunately for him somehow getting circumcised became all the rage (I’m assuming VD played a part rather than just fascination w/the Jewish practice of circumcision). PS - I don’t know if it was in fact a carrier and it wouldn’t seem like one would be needed. I think as a kid I just immediately imagined a carrier when told the story.

  1657. It’s once they get to pre-school age and above that the fact the middle class has not had a raise to adjust for inflation since the ‘70s that hits us so hard. It’s the cost of Chinese manufacturing and automation taking 90% of our jobs.

  1665. I agree. However, Ukraine’s primary motivation here isn’t altruism. It’s to show Putin is lying about their sons, about the war and to sow dissent. If it has the added benefit of brining closure to a family though, that’s good too.

  1676. They’ve done a great job in the area of leadership, but they’re not really sacrificing a lot. They could really spur on the allies by doing something that really forces other allies to step it up. This could be anything like the UK giving every single tank they have or Canada giving half its air defense systems. The UK is never going to need tanks to defend the homeland and Canada is not going to be attacked by air anytime soon.

  1677. These two were just utterly amazing pilots. Truly the full package: great team players, cool as ice under stress, by the book and just naturally gifted.
    5
  1678.  @johnsteiner3417  It’s all a tragicomedy, but I can assure you the field commanders are not doing their. They’ve been focused on taking a cut of every soldier’s salary (30%+). If they don’t comply, they’re sent on the most dangerous possible missions or worse.
    5
  1679. lol, John Xina

  1680. Stop stating 40% is the total for mil spending in the federal budget. It’s 70% min. w/ 30% of the budget “classified” (which = defense, the soldiers being signed for $$$ paid for at the regional level rather the federal level and there are endless expenses that have resulted from the war that are not designated as defense spending, which include repairing damaged infrastructure, medical care and subsidies for maimed soldiers, etc.
    5
  1681. But, to be clear, it won’t last even a third as long as Bakhmut because there aren’t enough big buildings/factories to dig in like Ukraine did in Bakhmut. With a 99% chance 🇺🇦 will have GLSDB by the time they reach Tokmak (unless they get there in like just two weeks), Russia will he having to endure more precision strikes from HIMARS, GSLDB, Excalibur and more. It will be hell. Meanwhile, Russia cannot exert any precise strikes, except for a tiny number of ballistic missiles.

So, I’ll be shocked if he can continue the war and hold on to to power for two years let alone one.

  1689. With US heavy metal they can’t fail. While the UK 🇬🇧 and the Baltic states have been the spiritual leaders of allied support, the US and Poland have been the leaders heavy metal.

  1690. Until the early 1990s, BMW was a company of engineering and racing enthusiasts. Then they got too popular and a bean counter culture took over and they went to sh*t. It was actually the mid-80s when they got too popular and it took about 10 years for the wheels to begin falling off. It’s why their last great cars were designed in the late 90s with their last great model entering production in 2001/2002.

  1691. The war is going so badly for Putin that instead of announcing his candidacy, he sort of hid it by just having some MP tell him they desperately need him and would he run (just happened in front of a camera). He’s trying to make everyone forget it’s even going to happen.
    5
  1692. Amazing what you can achieve when you’re 6’ 7”. I have four friends who range from 6’ 4” to 6’ 7” and it’s amazing how positively people automatically respond to them vs myself (5’ 7”). Definitely a very talented man in his profession though.

  1693. I almost feel bad for the Russian soldiers. I doubt many of them realize they will be treated well if they surrender.

  1694. A good start, but the rail bridge is much more important. Get better, Roman.

  1696.  @dgdave2673  I know you never said he was, but just want to clarify for all that Musk is not an engineer. Dude’s just an investor. He doesn’t know what he’s looking at when he sees advanced design information and blueprints.

  1697. He blew up so quickly. I joined when was only at 2.6k viewers. When I first looked at the thumbnails I thought it might be one of those computer voice channels, but it quickly became my most valuable source.

  1698. I love that he has the guts to call Scholz what he is: “a craven coward.”
    5
  1699. Jesus. Finally, a drop of support. Scholz probably tipped Putin off on the location of newly delivered lethal aid though. Slovakia 🇸🇰 is outperforming 🇩🇪 in aid.🙈 and Poland 🇵🇱 has given 25x more.

  1703.  @dweb Yes, domestic violence is not a crime in Russia as of about five years ago. Shows you all you need to know. Of course not all are bad, but too many are.

  1704. Uh, his channel didn’t even exist when the Hillary email server scandal was happening and since she lost, she’s been out of the news. So, tell us again about the bias.
    5
  1705. Ukraine was responsible for a lot of their space program too. It made of the most tanks. Ukrainians designed their jet engines too (and still design, manufacturer and sell jet engines across the world) which is harder than the rest of the plane combined, missiles and a lot of other things too.
    5
  1706.  @therealajnelson  Each added pound (person or cargo) is added fuel consumption and therefore I adjust the cost per mile to cover the added fuel burn. As for measuring miles, that’s extremely easy with a GPS based navigation system.

  1708. What is the most important org or area people can donate $ to in your opinion? I’d love to be there in person, but the consensus seems to be that if you don’t speak Ukrainian or have a special forces background, you’ll just be in the way.

  1711.  @twocansams6335  While not as obvious or egregious, all the govs, western central banks (which are actually private despite popular perception), FED/ECB/IMF, non-gov market makers, etc. Any correspondence between fundamentals and things like the stock market, commodity prices, etc. began to disappear after the French figured out the US was no longer adhering to the Bretton Woods Treaty, sent a warship to pick up their gold and Nixon suspended the gold standard. Since then, year by year, the entire financial system has become a horribly rigged game with commercial paper at the heart of it, which has bankrupted the middle class.

  1712. Indeed. Jake is fantastic, but like most people, there are a number of issues Jake has only a tenuous grasp on.

  1713. Another lesson reinforced by this interview is that when you create weapons they lust to be used and often their creators lust to use them. So, just by their creation, the chances of conflict increase.

  1714. I agree, but France has delivered almost nothing so far. Less than Estonia in fact despite a GDP 67x bigger.

  1718. Putin just assumed Biden and Scholz would never let Ukraine do something like this and he’s probably right, which is why Ukraine didn’t tell them about their plan.

  1719. They were going door to door with guns. That’s obviously totally legit. lol

  1720. Don’t worry, Russia will culminate long before moving massive substations will need to go underground. Buried power lines are a thing. Not so much substations.

  1721. $6,500 an hour for a jet of that size is absolutely nothing. A very economical craft to operate.

  1723.  @zackfair_og France was one the worst colonial powers in terms of how it treated its colonies. Luckily for all the colonial powers, Belgium was so bad they overshadow everyone.

  1724. 4:1 = not a problem at all. $500k - $50m+ system for about 4x $500 drones = an amazing return. Half the cost of a single 155mm shell which will need a minimum of 2-3 per target with the most accurate systems.
    5
  1725.  @tjsmotivation883  Why does she need to believe to not ruin it for you?
    5
  1726. France has given 36x less aid than Germany and less arms aid than counties like Estonia whose GDP is 67x smaller. BUT they seem to be having a big change of heart and have announced some good arms packages. If they come through and deliver even half the Caesars announced within 12 months, I’ll agree they’ll be back in the game and have my praise.
    5
  1727. The idea for depth charges were pioneered by frustrated fishermen. I was there. Me, cousin Merl and our dog Geech (who later got covered in concrete) hadn’t caught a thing. So, we decided to drop a barrel of Acme TNT 🧨 in the pond. When all the fish floated up, a lightbulb went off and we ran off to tell Secretary Stimson.

  1728. The perspective you provided on battle distances / what would enemy ships look like through high powered binoculars was flabbergasting. It totally changed how I think about naval battles.

  1729. Meanwhile, in Kursk…the RFAF has boldly looted more than 300 stores + 1,200 homes. It’s now expected, that by 2025, they will have fully looted all structures while not having retaken any territory.

  1730. Hungry what is not in charge of those other states to begin with when part of Austro-Hungaria. So their revisionism makes no sense, which I guess is why they call it “revisionism.”

  1737. UK has a load of problems, but Congress could take a lesson from Parliament in constructive arguments. Of course, there was a lot of babble and double speak here, but it’s a million times better than congressional debate.

  1738. In my circles, Timothy Ash is called “Timmy Cash.” Great guy.

  1739. Numbers game: According to the Kiel Institute, which tabulates military aid to Ukraine up to July 31, France lags behind many EU countries with a commitment of €533 million — barely 0.02 percent of GDP. In comparison, Germany sent €17 billion worth of military aid or 0.4 percent of GDP, and the U.K. has sent €6.6 billion or 0.23 percent of GDP. Eevn tiny Lithuania is far ahead at €715 million.

  1740.  @bebeloca He was found. He disappeared willingly.

  1741. And now they’ve got thermite drones clearing tree belts, jet powered drones for deep strikes that move too quickly for jets to be scrambled, light aircraft as heavy payload long distance drones, landmine mapping drones, interceptor drones, etc. And, above all, they’re winning the battle for building and procuring FPVs in massive numbers. Meanwhile, the enemy has basically done none of this and has failed to match the quantity. The ingenuity of individual Ukrainians combined w/private citizens from all over the world donating, quite literally, billions of dollars for drones, is responsible for 95% of this effort.
    5
  1742. Some common sense approaches being used finally (income diversity that isn’t just we’ll pay you to just grow and not cut down trees and totally dependent on charity).

  1746. Russian, German, England, Austria-Hungary, Spain and more we’re all best buddies before the war. Addressing each other affectionately. It’s just a big club and they’re never effected. Their descendants still rule much of the world.

  1747. Meanwhile, Trump is watching Reporting from Russia hoping for good news. Eventually Russia is going to implode from within its own borders.

  1748. WWI Austro-Hungaria might be the most hapless, ill-led military of all time. Conrad Von Hotzendörf had always wanted to guy to war (ironically, it was Archduke Ferdinand always saying no and with him out of the way, he finally could) where he failed to win a single battle and Germany spent the entire war rescuing them.
    4
  1749. Well, they’re not pressuring them to negotiate. Broe detailed the reasons why appearing to be open to peace talks is more valuable to Ukraine than it is to Russia.
    4
  1750.  @karinfend2980 Some EU countries are doing great (that’s why I named specific states), but EU states like 🇫🇷 donating literally less than .1% of their GDP is pathetic. Also, this is not a comparison saying the US is doing better. They’ve done worse than most European countries and almost as badly as France for its size.
    4
  1751. The fact that went from idea to testing in 113 days for the AMG GT1 and then won every race must be one of the most amazing motorsport stories ever and hasn’t received the attention it deserves.

  1752. Prices up all over the world. Not sure where they think they’ll get lower prices. Blame OPEC+.

  1753. Utterly fantastic video. I loved the story of the super human effort of the Miri’s temporary avengers. Poor people. Meanwhile, the Battle of Kochin is one of all the time great defenses. They were taking out 2,000+ invaders for each defender.

  1759. The slow boil is not what’s going on. It’s just domestic dysfunction and EU weakness. Arthur is grasping at straws + is giving them credit for some sort of genius & ruthless plan that intentionally sacrifices 🇺🇦.
    4
  1760.  @karrithebestlira3085  Ukrainians don’t want a long drawn out war like 🇦🇫. They want to decisively defeat 🇷🇺 w/as few casualties as possible. I’ve spoken to many Ukrainians who are already at the end of their rope and furious with the West.

  1761. What are all these stammering / stuttering comments a reference to? Obviously it’s an inside joke cause I never heard him stammer.

  1762. Why didn’t the cops simply look up all the black and dark blue Frontiers of that model in the county and then work out to more counties from there if no one looks good. There can’t be many of those Frontiers in that color and trim. It wasn’t a popular car.

  1765. The entire left bank of the Dnipro is covered in sandstones and desert. It’s a steppe with no vegetation, cities or natural barriers and rain makes it only easier to cross. They can thunder run all the way to the Crimean isthmus.

  1768. United24 is initiative backs by Zelensky which financed large purchases of APCs, Byraktars, SAMs, 155 shells, etc. The DoD made them an authorized arms buyer. So, not a “backyard weapons maker.”

  1769. They definitely didn’t get any training in those two weeks. Most of that time was spent in transporting, figuring out who was there, where they would go, giving their rifle (since they’re not giving them anything else), etc.

  1770. The second profile sketch is absurd. The guy is obviously old. You can tell by his voice, his walk, his posture, etc. BUT especially by the fact that he didn’t think to destroy the phones or check them for videos or photos of him.
    4
  1771. I think it’s fair to say that no one in Belarus believed there would ever be anything even resembling a real election again in 2020. So, unless there is an internal coup or a mass revolt, Belarusian leadership is frozen until his death. Then we’ll see if his son can hang onto power. Belarusians are much less meek and kowtowed than Russians. So, that will be a much harder task.

  1782. The funniest part is that he didn’t believe ANYTHING he said. He was an actor used by the KGB/FSB to create/lead a fascist party whose purpose was to give rabid ultra nationalists a party under their control in order to prevent them from being harnessed by a genuine politician/leader who could use them to gain power and/or create chaos.

  1785.  @arthurlouiskarl the Kievan Rus and Russian state have no connection. If anything, it shows Russia is a part of Ukraine. Russia is the baby brother. It’s only so big land wise because of all the West and Central Asian countries it is occupying or Republics as your country calls it.

  1786. This video didn’t really give any information about the de-mining process. Come on, guys.

    4
  1792.  @ghostrider-be9ek  Frankly, I think 90%+ of F1 staff at all teams aren’t willing to cheat in that type of brazen way. So, it’s likely he wouldn’t be able to sell it. And certainly not coming unknown off the street.

  1793.  @mikeabate3610  And the #1 thing you keep coming back to is that he was a “suspect.” Are you a “suspect” if you call 911 for a heart attack? 🤦‍♂️ I think this is an issue beyond your intellectual capacity.
    4
  1794. He never publicized this when it happened. A class act. Amazing that the same politicians who always talk about how much they love the American flag, soldiers and police/rescue, were the same politicians who resisted giving more funding to those in the rescue and cleanup effort.
    4
  1795. Native Americans weren’t all saints who sat around philosophizing about how the bird in the sky, the buffalo on the land and the man by his fire are one and connected? lol Like whites, there were noble tribes and savage ones. The things the Apaches did to their enemies and the innocent were unspeakable.

  1804. The craziest thing he said was that Russia has another 9,000 refurishable tanks (they don’t even have half that number and even if they did, you need tankers not just tanks) and the manpower to last another 8-9 years. Neither is even close to true and not a single other expert, including pro-Russian experts, says Russia could sustain manpower and armor for another five years let alone nine years.

And exposing the fact we’re not spending lots of money and that it’s helping our arms industry, deterring China from Taiwan, etc. would go a long way to getting the many who think we are spending big $ on board, make it easier to pass funding bills, make the media narrative more positive, expose GOP talking points, etc.

  1813. Credit to Giles for being possibly the the first I’ve seen to point out the obvious (to me anyway) fact that many “experts” and academics like Mearsheimer continue to stick to their arguments purely for reasons of ego/reputation and their career. It may be that many are hesitant to make such a direct and personal criticism or they have far too much faith in the integrity of their colleagues.

  1814. Arthur, it might be good to switch focus on fundraisers to something the soldiers on the frontline are lacking: chemical masks like the Avon M50. 🇺🇦 is drowning in drones from private donors and government allies right now.

  1820. @Thedude4777 Your “minimalistic gains” comment might hold some water if Ukraine’s CO ended tonight, but it’s not and any objective person can see 🇷🇺 is on its knees. And considering Russia required a month per half kilometer since October, you should be terrified that, despite being in just its probing stage, Ukraine’s CO is moving at about 50x the speed of Russia’s grand CO using about 1% of its forces.

  1825. Great video, but it’s a myth that Rome salted the fields of Carthage (think about the amount of labor let alone the expense) or that they demolished most of the city. I also highly doubt they had zero knowledge or could not find any information about what lay north and east of the Pillars of Hercules. I wonder if the gorillas were similar to the rock apes of Vietnam or another type of extinct early off shoot of hominids.

  1828.  @michaelkenny8540  How is Ukraine focused on headline grabbing tactical events? This is nonsense. Just like the idea that Russia has 4x as many men. It’s true they’re losing men 5x as fast though. At one point it was 10-12x as many.

In the event you ever have time and/or the interest, I’d love to hear a quick overview sometime, for those of us less versed on the matter, of the different models in use, how widespread they, their strength/weaknesses, what, if any, type of situation they’re intended for, etc. I’d say pretty much the same for any weapons. It’s mainly out of curiosity, but also because I’m going over there (non-battlefield work), but I’ll be bringing a lot of stuff with me people are requesting and you never know what type of information will be useful.

  1834. Sure, Russia gained a decent amount of ground in July, but it cost them well over 30,000 men by the UK MOD’s own calculations + hundreds of AVs they couldn’t afford to. Basically, they sacrificed long term stability to try and deliver a victory in the media because they’re desperate for a cease fire.

  1838.  @malcolmgibson5088  They’ve trained exponentially more new forces than has even been hinted at via Interflex, EUMAM and internally. I know for 100% fact they’ve trained (or up-trained) at minimum 50,000 men (most new, but about 5,000 have done specialized training rather than the basic combined arms training). I have written a story I’ve held back on the manpower generation story (and the direction of the offensive with a lot of supporting research), but might publish soon because I finally heard the first leak on it today from an official source, which means soon it’ll become widely known anyway.

  1850.  @diodotos This is a very short sighted view. Having strong treaties w/countries like 🇹🇷 help sustain peace. If 🇹🇷 were not in NATO, it’s unlikely they would’ve closed off the straight to 🇷🇺 ships, forced 🇷🇺 into the grain deal, sold arms to 🇺🇦 but not 🇷🇺, etc.

  1851. Yeah. I just commented this before I found your post w/a video link: this Russian tank driver who defected and you’ll understand how many of their tanks work as well as how badly they are trained.

  1856. Russia’s been doomed since political decisions meant they would simultaneously throw away tens-of-thousands of lives on useless goals while also not mobilizing to avoid a public backlash. They’re just playing for time now. The sad part is that even though Russia is doomed, Ukraine is still losing promising lives everyday all due to Putin’s idiotic and pointless war.

  1857.  @hb1338  Almost every war is determined by logistics, unless someone is literally able to wipe out so many of the opposing troops that the logistics don’t matter. This will almost never happen in modern warfare (it kind of did to the Germans, but their logistics had crashed too by then) and certainly not in 🇺🇦, which has more manpower than Russia currently.

  1862. I hope you’ll be retracting your comments on Nicaragua/Russia in yesterday’s episode, which were, as much as I enjoy your channel, were uninformed, naive & hypocritical. Stating we cannot allow Russian AF to be in Nicaragua fully justifies the cause belli Russia has been using for more a decade+ when warning why they might “be forced” to attack Ukraine. Worse, with Nicaragua so distant, it even gives added justification to Russia’s past and present actions + demands that no NATO country/US bases or missile batteries share a direct border or encircle Russia due to Ukraine’s, Finland’s, etc. You do not want to invoke America’s past geopolitical doctrines as a model for ethical behavior.

However, soon they will likely begin to start hitting even greater marks because the program is only starting to really kick into gear now.

  1950. Remarkably, the Ukrainians are on the verge of starting to really drive back the Russians. They’ve lost the majority of their arms and fuel supplies within the county since HIMARS arrived (I could scarcely believe how much damage they’ve been able to do with just four HIMARS). Ukraine took out six major depots in one day just a couple days ago and more than 30 overall in the last two weeks. Russia is so short on equipment that they’re now deploying new forces in 75 year old infantry vehicles (they’re called MTLBs) and wearing helmets from WWII that have been so rushed into service they haven’t even taken the red soviet star off them. Russia’s superior air force has shown zero ability to provide ground support or even strike important air facilities due to very effective anti-air radar and radar guided SAMs. Russia has also fired so many shells through their relatively small number of modern of artillery systems, they’ve run out of tubes on their most precise systems and are now relying on primarily Cold War era artillery, which are still immensely powerful, but not accurate. That’s one reason their strategy has been to just flatten vast areas.

Pointing out the bravery of the Ukrainians who have been attacked with zero justification has absolutely nothing to do with the bravery of other peoples in times of war.

We saved them during WWII with epic amounts of tanks, planes, food, rail cars, etc. (🇺🇸🇬🇧), which they started in partnership with Nazi Germany, but yet call themselves the saviors of WWII and its victims

  1994. Jake and many others seem unaware of how many munition depots + troop concentrations 🇺🇦 has wiped out in the rear w/storm shadow and GMLRS strikes during May/June + strategic victories like drawing tons of 🇷🇺 military resources to Belgorod using only a few trucks, a tank and two IFVs being operated by a few hundred 🇷🇺 volunteers. It also shows we’re still mainly in the shaping operations phase. Moreover, 🇺🇦 is well on its way to capturing the flanks of Bakhmut and encircling the city. As for Zaporizhzhia, people act like it will be one decisive battle. It’s a grind through the first three layers of defense in depths, which u can’t just blitzkrieg because besides the men, artillery, GRADS, etc., the ground is soaked with AP and AT landmines. It requires using MICLICS and mine rollers. This is a slow and dangerous process.

You have no idea how good we have it here even with all of our many problems. There are only a handful of countries that allow a better quality of life or as much freedom. It’s insult to Quighurs living in concentration camps, the hundreds of millions locked in their homes right now in China, the thousands of Iranians who will be killed by the end of crack downs on protests, the majority of North Koreans who are permanently in famine conditions, etc. Learn some perspective.

B) Second, like many dogs, he has a natural urge to work/be useful and it makes him really happy. If he didn’t do it, he wouldn’t be so beloved and meet so many people. C) in the unlikely even he happens to get clipped and hurt instead of killed, you can be sure he’ll be taken care of quickly.

  2017. This all began after Kherson’s recapture. 🇺🇦 overestimated how much 🇷🇺 forces had been degraded and rotated out way too many soldiers from Donetsk to go for R&R or to Europe for training. It allowed 🇷🇺 to get a major toe hold. However, it’s still not in Russia’s favor because Ukraine has used mostly territorial defenses and Russia has barely gained any ground. Soon, Ukraine will have an overwhelming offensive force built up.

Even if she could learn to be a wild boar, his fondness for humans would likely get her shot immediately by a hunter or animal control.

  2028.  Strong Dream  Well, I think they’re referring to the multiverse theory, which has been proposed by many of the brightest physicists. If they’re right, just like many of Einstein’s supposedly wild theories, it will take a while for us to gather any proof. It seems crazy to me, but those guys understand the structure of space and time at a level I/most can’t begin to grasp. Just like if we didn’t have the proof, I doubt many would accept that objects change their nature simply by being observed. Bottom line: it seems ignorant to dismiss the concept. HOWEVER, I think this guy imagining the multiverse in terms of what’s depicted in movies of the Marvel CU instead of the duller concept detailed in equations and shit.

  2032.  @andrerothweiler9191  The vast majority of the circa 1,000 armored vehicles pledged to Ukraine during the past two weeks are already in Central Europe. 90% of the AVs will be delivered by Spring. What percentage of the artillery will make it by then is far less clear, but it will still be enormous and with much greater range + hundreds of times more accurate, Russia is going to get demolished. One key factor that the allies have kept close to the vest is that the number of AFU troops receiving training from standard combined arms to systems ops is FAR, FAR greater than what has been publicly shared. Part of this is OpSec (which is the smallest part of it because training 50k+ soldiers in under 5 months can’t be kept secret from the FSB, but they won’t know exactly how many). The bigger reason is that some of the countries participating, particularly Bulgaria, are keen to be seen to providing as little support as possible due to strong pro-Kremlin sentiments among much of Sofia’s elite and because they’re still doing energy trading with Russia.

  2044.  @MXB2001  Unless they were unlucky enough to hit some concentrated piece of debris, it is nearly impossible any of them are dead and most likely none of them will die, but rather have an exponentially higher chance of developing cancer in the coming 10+ years. None would be dead now because even exposure to lethal doses of radiation has a very delayed effect before you start to die due to how the half life of radiation works. Even most of the first responders (back in 86) who responded to the initial meltdown and were exposed to chunks of graphite from the core took months to die. And no one digging in the exclusion zone is likely to have encountered radiation even close to as high as those men did. Regardless, I think we can all agree what happened is symbolic of what a shambolic mess the Russian army is and the type of conscripts in their army (recruits from backwaters where half the people are illiterate and literally don’t have running water or indoor plumbing).

  2045. Russian incompetence is staggering, but they do build good fortifications and are good at mining, which is why a temporary battle of attrition on logistics, reserves and artillery is a very good idea. Logistics aren’t just the key to victory in Zaporizhzhia, but to all wars. Great video breaking down the weak points and challenges Ukraine faces.

BTW, I don’t like to judge, but the captain of this flight seemed like a doofus.

  2104. The quotes should have gone around “murdered.” Good luck getting the police or fire department in South Africa to respond to calls or overcrowding. Even calling for a murder in profess doesn’t always bring out the police.

  2106. As we’ve seen, relying on “the data” as well as simplistic, non-data supported theories to explain what happened or will happen is almost always a mistake.

  2107. The ? “how’s Russia’s army still doing well if XYZ problems are true?” didn’t make much sense because he doesn’t know about military matters and by no parameters is 🇷🇺 still doing “pretty well.” I’d have like to hear him asked how many of his viewers held strong anti-Putin before the war and how many were newly dissatisfied. That would be critical information.

  2108. And the execution numbers are just from video. The real number is probably in the thousands. And they might be considered lucky considering the torture stories we’ve seen/heard about.

  2109. Russia was never “winning” this fall or winter, unless you consider around 37,960 KIA in a single month for 2km square gained around Avdiivka and the same amount lost on the left bank of the Dnipro “winning.”

  2116. Hawkwood was good, but comparing him to Hannibal is not just a bridge too far. It’s blasphemy. Anyway, I feel like you’ve posted this video before, but maybe I’m confusing this with another channel’s video. I’m subscribed to at least 10 channels that put out similar content.

  2117. It’s easy to win “the information war” when you’re both in the right + everything in real life shows you’re succeeding and the enemy is in disarray. BTW, that poor guy struggling w/the strap. If he survives (surrenders), he’ll never live that video down.

  2119. The Belarus border is simply a distraction to pull away men and resources from E/S Ukraine. Dropping in paratroopers from the north makes no sense. Where could they even be dropped/deployed? Additionally, the lumbering transport planes are too vulnerable to anti aircraft radar batteries and the Ukrainian Air Force is actually able to fly near the Belarusian border unlike in eastern Ukraine. Beyond that, with NATO AWACS in Polish airspace and the Brits and Americans are providing timely and highly accurate intelligence, the Russians are highly unlikely to be able to pull off any surprises.

  2121. lol, I drive race cars and paraglide and many think that’s dangerous. I just laugh and am like “you ever hear of cave diving?” Not to mention the former are 95% less dangerous than people perceive it to begin with let alone compared to stuff like wing suits and cave diving.

  2123. A chick with not only Harbor Freight tools, but had evaluated their use? Or two men, one jack stand? BTW, your account is identical to anyone who actually knows or knows about China. Worse than no hands on experience is zero ability to think for themselves. Go there and ask a student to draw a piece of art from their imagination. [blank stares]. The US isn’t immune from these same problems. It’s why I worked with a program sponsored by JPL that took young STEM students and had them built gravity karts. JPL found their best engineers were the ones who were also gear heads growing up. The ones with just theoretical knowledge were always making costly errors.

  2130. It’s 100% fair to judge past CEOs on how the company is doing a decade or more later. It takes a long time for the changes to culture, lack of R&D, selling off assets for glossy short term P&L statements, etc. for their impact to show.
    3
  2131. Agreed 100%. You’ve articulated these points much better than my attempts. Beyond this, the tolerance level for anything controversial let alone dangerous these days is so low it’s partly ruined F1. Most notably the fact that no matter how safely a car has pulled off and how easy/low risk recovery is, you’ll get at minimum a VSC. I have all the data on safety cars going back to 1993...and it’s just embarrassing where the sport has gone. We have single GPs now with more safety cars and/or red flags than multiple F1 seasons had combined. The sport went from very dangerous to dangerous to dangerous only if all the stars align really badly to you’re nearly impervious with certain exceptions to you have to do something really dumb to hurt yourself and to today, which equals: “OMG, there’s gravel on track?! Neil, should we red flag 🚩 for gravel or should we be super dangerous and just do a safety car?!”

  2132. Belarus army will never enter the war. At most, they could get a few battalions loyal to that clown Lukashenko. Much of the country hates him and are sympathetic to Ukraine and almost no one wants to die for Russia. Lukashenko can’t really risk any loyal fighters to the Ukraine war. It would make him more vulnerable.

  2133.  @karinfend2980 All these people, like you, who immediately feel like they need to defend EU or US aid are a big problem. It lets the many countries barely doing anything get away w/doing less than the bare minimum.

  2134. Maybe if the media didn’t feel the need to always ask this type of question in big headlines and then go crazy with even more headlines when he makes another generic threat or sends a single missile at Kyiv, he wouldn’t think the West was so easily intimated and/or encouraged to continuing test our weakness or limits.

But if we had had no lock down, there would have been far more deaths, but more importantly, even more people being treated for non-COVID medical problems wouldn’t have gotten treated. I have a friend who died from complications from an issue he was supposed to have been operated for. Due to how packed the hospital was from COVID, his surgery was delayed by months and months.

  2144. To be fair, Ukraine would never have been able to operate those nukes. That’s a fact that seems to be conveniently omitted from all discussion. However, I agree the West is always a day late and a system short in their support of Ukraine. And the West should also drop the act that its support is altruistic. It’s not. It’s pragmatic self-interest.

  2152. Everything you said was is. First of all, it was a state project. Not a federal project. Secondly, most of the infrastructure that enabled America to become the mega success it became would never have been created if state and federal governments weren’t embarking on mega projects left and right during the late 30s to the 60s and early 70s. We’ve coasted by ever since on this legacy infrastructure with no upgrades and inadequate maintenance in order to fund massive tax cuts.

  2156. Blocking Russia from the GPS system has made Russia’s guided munitions useless, which is one huge reason they’ve performed so poorly in the war. I am not sure about how that impact AWACS, but I know Russia hasn’t been able to make use of AWACS. They don’t have the ability to use AWACS due to airspace restrictions (and possibly GPS restriction). If I am wrong, provide some info on the efficacy of GLONASS.

  2164.  @triplehfarmsllc7348  I think you might have a case of probably knowing more than Combat Veteran Reacts and being annoyed he has such a huge channel and you don’t. I get the same feeling when I listen to big YouTube authors talk about subjects I know way more about and people are fawning all over them despite them making errors and stuff. But the fact is they are doing the work of making the videos, editing them and uploading them. You can do the same. Whether or not he was in the chow hall 90% of the time doesn’t really matter. He was, at minimum, trained enough to give a good account of what is going on and mistakes guys who might have had little training made. Good enough for laymen like us anyway. But, by all means, if you know way more, start a channel and I’d like to hear your POV. It’s literally never too late to start.

  2169.  @partymariner  I will look up the information you referenced. I’m never afraid to be wrong. However, we never threatened prisoners with death by prison gang if they didn’t join or began arresting people on BS charges just so they could be forcibly mobilized. Prisoners and ex-cons drafted also weren’t sent as cannon fodder w/zero food, equipment or training straight to the front and almost zero chance of coming back alive. So, while we may have done things that looked similar on the face of it, it’s apples to oranges.

    3
  2199. Most of the fear is due to miseducation/misperceptions. Coal power plant waste is often as radioactive as nuclear power waste but while all nuclear waste ever produced would fit in a football field sized space six feet deep, all the coal waste would take up incalculable space. And no one freaks out when coal waste is often spilled or dumped into water supplies.

  2224. I’m interested to see how long Ukraine will continue to let Wagner waste Russian forces on Bakhmut before smashing them. Maybe they’re waiting for some of the forces training in Poland and the UK to return. Or maybe until they liberate Kherson or Zaporizhzhia, they don’t have the forces.

Worse yet, most Russians didn’t/don’t care what happens to Belgorod.

  2233. The right wing isn’t very racially prejudiced. It’s just extremely culturally prejudiced and intolerant. Minorities who share a similar lifestyle and conservative values as them (and many minorities do as demonstrated by their growing share of Latino and black voters) are readily embraced (and I am talking about day-to-day life of right wingers, not about thing like the far right media exploiting someone like Kanye). They demagogue various groups from urban black to woke whites who they see as having values, culture and politics they abhor. This is not meant as any excuse for the far right. It’s merely an important element if you wish to accurately understand what motivates them, which so many fail to do.

Like Hodges, my major beef w/Biden is his utter failure to explain the simplest reasons why this war is, forget right & wrong, so important from a selfish POV or the fact our aid has cost almost nothing because most of it was paid for in the ‘70s and ‘80s and was retired or being retired and many of them such as DPICM and HMMWVs, have been in the disposal phase which costs us hundreds of millions.

  2253.  @georgek1234  It’s really frustrating that due to Biden’s age he hasn’t figured this messaging out for himself (if he had made these points in 2023 the “cost” issue would have never arose), his staff are clueless identity politics focused hacks and he has a VP who can’t pinch hit because she has no idea how to communicate and is insanely unlikeable (worst of all, she’s most unpopular with minority voters who they assumed would automatically support her - ironically racist IMO). Hell, when asked what she brings to the table for the re-election, she said she didn’t need to explain herself to voters or the media. What?!

  2263. 100% and Polish-Lithuania was once stronger than Russia. So, they didn’t enjoy being subjugated. However...India was actually fairly loyal to Britain for a long time. They sent millions of soldiers to the World Wars, including 1.8m in WWI & even just a few years before Gandhi led them to statehood, 2.5 million Indians volunteered for WWII. However, there’s been a long tradition of Indian men enthusiastic about serving in the military. Britain suffered many hugely bloody, large scale revolts in the 19th century and periodic revolts in the 20th century.

  2272.  @arnesieper8332 My job is quite literally analyzing the war in Ukraine (and also Chinese global + domestic affairs) and I’ve yet to see ANYONE making this point clearly despite following hundreds of different sources. I’ve seen some mention different aspects like -the war is helping our arms industry and taking Russian market share -we’re giving away stuff we wouldn’t be using anymore -Or the part about deterring China But never all these aspects together and specifically about how these weapons are costing us very little. Jake started referencing it a bit after I posted this same comment in about 60 previous videos. Anyway, as I mentioned above. It’s not just MAGA who believes we’re spending too much. That’s why it’s important this fact becomes a mainstream talking point.

  2274. And their military’s reputational factor has fallen 138% in just one year. Anyway, if Biden or his staff had any sense they’d be pointing toward 🇰🇵 using this war to hone their nuclear capable missiles in real world conditions since that’s something that always freaks out Americans. And therefore we need to help Ukraine end this war. But since they haven’t even pointed out aid has basically been free since about 80% of the weapons we’ve sent were decommissioned or soon to be and that the price tags we would put on packages were basically imaginary.

  2290. That was my first thought, but I actually think no as it might allow the Russians to track it. However, American and British intelligence, surveillance + satellite imagery is so crazy strong right now, they’d know within 2 minutes if someone was trying to sell and move a system.

  2293.  @fjames208  Thanks for that. Here is another related mind blowing issue the soldiers are facing: Refusing to give a “why” for the war, Putin provided zero incentive or personal motivations for his troops to kill fellow Slavs + his treatment of them, decision and statemenrs are insulting to them: -Allowing only the term “Special Military Operation” & refusing to use “war,” minimizes the cost, sacrifices or heroics needed for victory. -The Kremlin even denies conscripts are present in Ukraine which in turn denies their sacrifice. -By Putin’s own decree, conscripts are not legally allowed to operate outside Russian borders, but just hours prior to invasion thousands had their status forcibly changed to contract status to circumvent the decree, creating a new set of grievances against military authorities.

The endlessly parroted thank you for your service is cringe and even many veterans think it’s cringe. There are plenty of critical and dangerous jobs people are doing for the greater good that no one says “thank you for your service.” Worshipping the military is something the founding fathers never wanted our country to do.

  2313.  @williamkerner  Small arms ammo is much less often an issue, but it’s a good example of how deep our stock runs. It is a blatant lie that we’re low on anything. We have legal minimums set on much of our stockpiles. The only thing we had to increase production of to be comfortable with was GMLRS and 155. And we’ve already more than quadrupled our output in under 18 months of that and we’re on pace to be making literally 1,000% more by 2025 and with fairly modest investment. As for GMLRS, the plant the Raytheon (or maybe it’s Lockheed - I forget) plant in Albama has doubled its staff and is expanding facilities. So, great, high paying jobs for America and TONS more revenue from foreign customers thanks to everyone seeing how well HIMARS/GMLRS work. This war is a net profit in the long run and it’s way cheaper to deter than to allow it to breakout through appearing weak.

  2315. It may, sadly, take seeing how much worse things become w/Russia + China taking the place of Western govs or and/or the UN (and that’s despite the UN often very ineffective) before we can reset relations across Africa. Western govs though, in some cases, allowed their relationships to deteriorate by not devoting enough attention or resources to their African partners. One mistake the West often makes is trying to promise too much and bite off too much. Focus on solving smaller problems while building up local knowledge and trust before trying to solve the major problems.

  2325. None of Russia’s moves have been about security. They’ve been all about petty grievances driven by ego insecurities. They went bananas when Obama referred to them as a “regional power.” It’s amazing how quickly they’ve forgotten how many times the US/Wesf has saved them from rebuilding their crumbling nuclear weapons storage facilities and sending them food after the USSR collapsed and above all, saving than them from a war they started with more than a 50,000 planes and tanks, 40,000 trucks and on and on.

  2326.  @monsanto.official  The majority of rescuers are volunteers, but I agree people shouldn’t be scared off doable activities. We need more people getting outside even if it’s for obnoxious social media stuff. This hike isn’t for casual hikers, but anyone with a combination of common sense, good health and someone who knows the trail, it shouldn’t be a hard trek at all.
    3
  2327. You need to be advising national and international aviation bodies. Common sense is, ironically, a scarce commodity. You pair that with intelligence, passion, a detailed oriented work ethic and a massive sense of accountability for passenger, crew, pilot, etc. safety. Finally, you take a very holistic approach to examining the industry, which gives you a better overall understanding and feel for what is/isn’t working and/or would/wouldn’t work well.

  2328.  @traumflug  That was a long time ago and it’s not enough to get thousands of men across. I think a bigger hint is the specialized pontoon bridges and the amphibious special forces training that about 1,200 Ukrainian marines are getting in Poland, Germany and/or Bulgaria. I think also because if they get down there Russia will have to pull out all of its ships from Crimea, which will allow Ukraine to begin shipping grain without worrying about Russia or anymore ship launched missile attacks.

  2335. Well, Ukrainians are rotated and actually get medevacs. Russians don’t get rotated and rarely medevacs. There may be some areas where Ukrainians don’t get rotated for a few months. For Russians it’s been a year+ on the front line and not getting rotated to the rear. It’s still awful for both sides. Just much worse for Russia. Ukraine still has good morale, but they’re getting tired and frustrated.

  2350.  @jsavak99  Firstly, I literally just discovered this guy. Secondly, there is nothing I detest more than celeb worship culture/all those fans who kiss the ass of popular YouTubers with generic “omg, your videos are so amazing! You’re so charismatic!” Etc type comments. So, your assumption on that point literally could not be more far off. In fact, I think he’s a bit cheesy w/his 007 suits + sunglasses, but that’s not a moral flaw. Third, he HAD to smile. You think any time you see an ad w/a smiling he or she was was genuinely smiling? No, it was part of the job. And if you’re thinking if he had really cared he wouldn’t have smiled and would’ve quit immediately after he found out, that’s the last thing someone who cares should do as they’re likely to be replaced by someone who doesn’t care. He stayed, tried to affect change, went to the police & was fired as a result. Finally, you obviously took no trouble to research the behavioral psychology I mentioned, which makes you a lazy almost Trump like person who just relies on what their “gut” tells them is “true” and then making wild assumptions and accusations based on that. Want an example of you doing? Your assertion I am cult follower of a YouTuber I literally discovered within the last 72 hours. So, your gut assumptions are obviously not reliable.

  2359. Great episode that escaped some of the dead horse topics that even infect the best Ukraine focused programs such as this one. Francis is completely wrong on the impact of the sanctions. The only reason people think they’re not devastating 🇷🇺 yet is because the IMF is accepting Russian economic claims despite the fact they stopped providing the required documentation since Q2 2022 for those claims to be accredited, but for some reason the IMF has not challenged their reports and thus lent their credibility to Russian lies.

  2360. This is one of your best episodes of ‘24 and was too short. Though the info and ideas were not new to me, the way it was framed, contextualized, challenged, etc. was incredibly crystallizing, which is more useful than just accruing yet more in a world where we are often blinded by having too much information.

  2361. Only losing Bakhmut to Russia after 7 months in order to serve larger strategic purposes (half of the time which Ukraine was retaking Kharkiv and then Kherson and the second half using the minimum amount of men and resources in order to save both existing soldiers as well as to build up a massive force of new soldiers for a spring counteroffensive) seems like a good trade to me.

  2362. Russia already controls world fertilizer supplies and now grain supply. Give them E. Ukraine and they can release tidal waves of war and refugees if their demands are not met. Worse, if it does spur the CCP in Taiwan, all will be lost. It’s not charity to help Ukraine, it’s an investment.

  2363. Imagine a people so cowed, they’ll march like lambs to the slaughter rather than doing something about it. BTW, I asked yesterday if that forest was swarming w/AFU and today you’ve obviously confirmed it. With basically no mechanized forces left, all Russia is achieving is driving their body count sky high. It’s why there are countless Russians calling in panic home trying to figure a way out.

  2371. I think at some point, even if 🇺🇦 can hold Bakhmut, if the Russians begin massing a lot of men for an offensive, the AFU should feign a rout and let the Russians pour into the city. Once enough orcs move in and they’re filming celebrations, setting up materiel, etc., in the city, 🇺🇦 should launch a massive barrage that takes out 25%+ of the 5-10k+ orcs.

We know know almost nothing about the reasons for this accident yet. It’s clear there was a bird strike (but we don’t know if that even caused a failure on a single engine yet), non-deployed landing gear and sub-optimal runway conditions and a wall right at the end of the runway…

  2393. You had a question for Jake Broe about the midterms he really didn’t want to address honestly because he avoids politics like the plague. The Republicans are far more hostile to supporting Ukraine than the Dems. The reasons include Trump’s beef w/Zelensky, NATO and the right’s obsession w/the idea that Hunter Biden had some diabolical connections w/Ukraine (beyond the paid board seat that was obviously given to him in the hopes he could influence his father). Anyway, the Republicans will easily win back the house. Look for Biden to put some major aid packages together during the lame duck session before those newly elected Republicans actually assume their offices and block new aid packages. Also, look for them to use the bully pulpit to try and erode support for Ukraine. I don’t think it will have a devastating, but it will cut back the pace and unity of the West. Anyway, You’re by far one of the best analysts on all angles of the conflict. Purely facts and logic and limited speculation and only where it’s the only available tool.

  2394. 🇺🇸 aid to 🇺🇦 has been free. 90% of the weapons we gave we’re retired/nearing it and/or costing more $ to dispose of than to give(DPICM). This includes MRAPS, ProMaxx, Avengers, HMMWVs, Patton tank chassis engineering vehicles, old Bradley models in PPS, expired ATACMS, as mentioned DPICM and on and on. And because even our old stuff has performed so well, the US has hundreds of billions in new arms orders. Beyond that, all these weapons were paid for in the 1980s. So, nothing comes out of our actual budget. I don’t remember these people complaining about the billions per year we’ve been giving Egypt, Pakistan, Israel and so on every year in military aid.

  2405. Question: why does the media, but especially POTUS never explain that the arms given to 🇺🇦 have cost tax payers nearly nothing as most were paid for in the ‘80s & were retired, retiring or being disposed of at huge expense? This could really change US public opinion about spending on 🇺🇦. Examples: DPICM, SDBs, MRAPS and HMMWVs were all being scrapped + Avenger retired. The $ values placed on the packages are put at what these systems would cost new and bought today. Seems like they were thinking of foreign optics + political capital and forgot about domestic ones They’ve also failed to mention how it’s paid for itself 20x over as US weapons performance so out shined Russia’s newest & best systems that our arms industry is getting huge orders from aero to artillery at the expense of 🇷🇺’s market share. All of which = jobs, revenue, etc.

The UK has been critical in organizing and pressuring allies to give more potent arms (tanks, long range missiles + artillery, etc.). As always, the biggest problem is that the entire EU continues to export 95% of the arms they make while not having built up decent stockpiles of their own. They’ve had 40 years of a free run depending on the US and they’re still barely increasing defense budgets.

  2454. Reasons Russia Likely Has a Fraction of its Arsenal Working vs What’s Listed on Paper: It is anybody’s guess to the exact numbers, but it would be shocking based on Russia’s GDP, defense budget and everything we’ve seen from the example of their war in Ukraine to their inability to keep a single nuclear carrier working, even 50% of Russia’s officially listed arsenal actually being in missile form and fully functional would be a miracle. Nuclear arsenals are mind bogglingly expensive and complicated to maintain. are mind. With a tiny economy (smaller than Italy’s), a tiny defense budget that likely has 50% of it being lost to corruption eating and many, more pressing military needs requiring cash, there’s no way they can be maintaining anything close to the number of nukes they have on paper. Anyone thinking “What maintenance? Nuclear material lasts forever!” is mistaken. Contrary to popular perception, nuclear warheads have a short shelf life. This is largely due to the tritium in all nuclear warheads. Tritium’s shelf life is very short and it’s incredibly expensive to produce. Even forgetting the tritium, nuclear armaments are wildly expensive to upkeep. If only 10-20% are in order, we and they know that’s 100x enough to be all the deterrent it needs and considering how greedy and corrupt Putin, the military and oligarchs are, why would they spend tens-of-billions on nukes they didn’t need. Hell, when NK got a single dinky, unreliable nuke it was enough for the US to take a strike into NK permanently off the table. Meanwhile, Russia still has, at minimum, hundreds of large nukes. Beyond the cost, their human capital in the atomic area is highly degraded and lacking anything close to the number of personnel to service their arsenal due to: * Soviet experts aging/dying out of the work force or having long ago emigrated * an inability to keep young talent when the West pays so much more and has so much more to offer * A poor record of protecting citizens and personnel from nuclear related mishaps * a vastly inferior education system / system of engineering programs compared to the Soviet era

I think they foolishly inflated for max foreign optics and didn’t consider a time might come when they couldn’t get any more funding approved.

Personnel w/access to CIs in high place, who deploy and/or have access to our more advanced ISR feeds, etc. is a very tiny proportion of intel agency personnel. Where the line on “civilians” starts/ends is nearly a moot point when it comes to Russia because they already target every type of civilian indiscriminately. Is ringing a bell to let your neighbor know a Russian patrol coming make you a spy/combatant? The line can be moved anywhere. So, it needs to be firm even if it creates a problem for the military or every war will be limitlessly barbaric.

  2504. You seem to be clueless. Some pharaohs were black and were from Sudan, but they were neither the original nor final rulers of Egypt. Most people confuse the later Ptolemaic rulers (who were white Macedonians) with what the pharaohs looked like or were. But that was, oh, just more than a millennium later. You on the other hand, are confusing a politically driven narrative with history.

  2512.  Yee Tian  This has always been the straw man argument to keep countries away from shifting away from cheap Chinese goods. Shifting manufacturing back to the US would see the return of the middle class and a much more tax revenue since the middle class actually pays taxes and that tax revenue would rebuild our infrastructure, education, etc. Also, Chinese products aren’t as cheap as they seem once you account for how quickly most of its products break and has no long term value.

  2515. I’ve watched every single Mentour accident video and about 100 from the May Day/Wonder series and this has to be one of the worst captains in the entire group. In actuality, the accidents often involve mind bogglingly excellent pilots who save many from a worse disaster or simply had zero chance. So, it’s angering to hear of such a bad one.

  2516. Ask him about the moment before a crash. I race too and it’s so odd how the moment before a crash seems to stretch out forever and you feel eerily calm as the body pumps you full of endorphins and adrenaline.

  2544. There’s a Forces article entitled “From HMS Cockchafer to HMS Pansy: Why would you call a ship that?!” For all of his accomplishments, Winston Churchill was perhaps not best known for his judgement in the naming of ships, having once been adamant that HMS Pitt would be a fitting title for a battleship. HMS Cherub definitely makes the list.

  2555.  @jac9301  lol@the fact you think he’s an electronics technician. That’s not what he is at all. You’d know this if you did the bare amount of research. In reference to your claim he has had no education: The newspaper front page with his picture on it next to his jet car that he mentioned came out in the Los Alamos local newspaper while working at Oak Ridge atomic labs can easily be looked up. Who just hangs out in Los Alamos with a jet powered car you built yourself. So, if he worked there, obviously he needed an advanced degree. He was recoded on TV in the 1980s saying they were working with an element that didn’t exist on the periodic chart, which he said was element 115. Low and behold, 20 years later a Norwegian lab announces the discovery of element 115. I guess that was the luckiest lie of all time huh? Finally, the US and UK government used tens-of-thousands of soldiers as human guinea pigs, intentionally exposing them to atomic blasts at incredibly close distances....And refused to compensate any of them for the horrible health effects they or their offspring suffered as a result (most died before 50). If they’d do that, dragging one guy’s name through the mud, erasing his records and trying to destroy his life to protect a huge secret is absolutely nothing.

  2575. Besides cost and the risk of capture, the second biggest reason they will get rid of pilots is simply optics. Every death is bad politics despite the fact that every one of these pilots would rather risk death to fly these planes and happily than leave it to drones. I find it sad and stupid every time a certain job people dream of doing is eliminated. It probably won’t even save $ in the long run because the cost of building automated fighters will be more than simply keep pilots in them. The only necessary exceptions are for aircraft that a) maneuver in ways the human body cannot handle and b) missions that make the most sense as one-way missions or missions that would almost certainly result in death.

  2582. “The story goes,” says Roland. There is video evidence of nearly all the lost 🇷🇺 armor. Anyway, 🇷🇺 has redirected the most competent forces who were attacking Kupiansk down to Chasiv Yar, which shows its importance as well as the fact that the Kupiansk push has culminated.

No, it was cuts for the wealthy, market deregulation and debasing our currency are primary drivers for MC problems among other things.

It’s insane, not to mention environmentally disastrous, that China and not Mexico is our manufacturing hub.

  2667. He’s had a lot of great stuff, but of all his videos, this one has the most flaws in terms of the theory (the technical historical aspect is excellent). As we’ve seen, both Russia and their Soviet predecessors have showed time and again an inability to do complicated sorties let alone complicated multi-ship sorties that require independent initiative. Pilots trained to and used to operating via highly regimented ground based commanders do not fare well in complicated, messy environments let alone against air forces designed to do exactly that. Also, Saab has produced jets for decades designed to take off from almost anywhere with extreme resistance to FOD. I’ll give him a break on this topic though as Sweden wasn’t part of NATO during this theoretical scenario.

The PLA’s capabilities are not nearly as impressive as they appear on paper or in the media. Their rank and file soldiers are absolutely awful (only the truly desperate join because w/the one child law, no son who is not from the countryside would ever join because that would be throwing away the entire family’s economic investment in them and leave them struggling in old age). Also, most of the officers and commanders are political selections. The military has just haw much or more corruption than Russia’s. There are hundred more reasons people shouldn’t overestimate their military but this a good enough summary for now.

  2680. Firstly, the UK has contributed a small sum of the pie vs the US or even Poland (v GDP). Secondly, this guy is ignorant or lying as the allies haven’t been sending cash to Ukraine directly.

Beyond that, we have been given extraordinary oversight access into Ukraine.

  2681. The problem is that many of those now mourning and asking “what did my child ever do?” in Gaza were cheering when they saw the dead and crumpled Israelis being paraded. However, I know there is a big minority in Gaza that doesn’t like Hamas. So, as usually, senseless tragedy. Let’s also not forget Israel tried to give Gaza to Egypt. They didn’t want it. They tried to offer authority over Gaza to other Arab countries. They declined. So, the Arab world doesn’t seem to care about Palestinians either other than as political/propaganda pawns.

  2682. I’m nearly as shocked by how your lack of knowledge about 2014 as those who didn’t didn’t anything happened. There were no organic “protests.” The protests began purely as an FSB operation at first small ones led mostly by actual agents (and a tiny handful of extremists working for them) they hoped would catch on, but in the end they needed to start paying for groups of hundreds to go out and protest, which resulted in counter protests pretending to be Yanukovych supporters, which theme did lead to real supporters coming out. Finally, it spiraled into the Maidan which was soon followed by little green men. There’s so much more to the story, but that’s the shortest TLDR possible.

  2719.  @williamzk9083  Haven’t looked it up, but America wouldn’t be providing munitions that don’t adhere to the Geneva Convention. It’s worth noting the US and Russia are both not signatories to some more comprehensive mine conventions that were signed by most countries, but which are not part of the Geneva Convention. However, AFAIK, those exceptions are limited to anti-personnel mines, which the US has always tried to limit its use of as much as possible.

  2720.  @greenhighlander7  I’m assuming they are careful to both map where they have been dropped as well as not drop them on routes they expect to use when pushing forward. The Russians would never have that capability. For the US, which is 100% using satellites 24/7 networked with HIMARS and many of its other weapons, it’s likely not a problem. I could very well be wrong though.

With a Bradley’s sensor suite let alone a Leopard’s, wherever they come into contact with Russian armor, the Russians will have no chance. The remaining tank crews alone, forgetting the platforms, are also the worst of the worst now.

  2736. Well, the criticism would be warranted if you believed GTBT that not only is Russia’s military best soldier corps is still intact, but that Ukraine is not only not succeeding in a high KIA/WIA ratio in Bakhmut, but a negative ratio. First of all, I’ve literally not heard a single source say that Russia isn’t losing anywhere from 3 to 7 men per Ukrainian before and I check dozens or maybe hundreds of sources each week (my job requires it). I have heard that there have been a few days, especially recently when the ratio has become more even, but never anything to the extent he reports here. Second, I have not heard a single credible expert claim that Russia’s most experienced and elite groups of soldiers are anywhere near mostly intact. There might be room for an argument of whether they retain 20%, 30% or maybe even approaching 40%, but largely intact implies more like at least 66% people percent.

So, he just in the right place at the right time.

They made the bizarre argument that every Ukrainian in the military should always be sitting in the middle whether fighting, eating or being treated. And by not doing that they were endangering Ukrainians. Typical report made by some college arts major with no connection to reality.

  2807. Anyone who wants a ready to go counterfactual/data points for 🇷🇺 bots trying to mislead people about the 🇺🇦 counter offensive, here’s some data points you can copy/paste (data is my job): Even data solely from July tells a far different story to that of the Russian narrative: -Using artillery systems as an example, stats for the month of July as of Saturday show the trend of loss rates trending heavily against Russia based on visually confirmed destroyed / damaged numbers: A. Russia: 40/4 B. Ukraine: 8/3 -Notably, the recently fired General Popov agrees and he was on the hottest front (Zaporizhzhia). His biggest complaints were a lack of counter battery radar/fire, mass troop deaths and a lack of rotation rendering his troops useless). He was shit canned for threatening to bring these facts to Putin. -Not everything is going wrong for Russia though, including in counter battery fire. They’ve immensely improved their CBF response times. They’ve gone from sometimes many hours to being as quick to respond as an average of 3-8 mins in some areas. -Sadly for Russia, once Ukraine gets DPICM, Russia is going to sadly start losing a lot faster. Let’s look at how much more effective cluster munitions are, which Ukraine hasn’t had/used yet (supposedly they did have some, but felt they needed the political cover of being given DPICM by the US before using them) —->13.6 155mm rounds to kill 1 VC soldier —->1.7 cluster rounds to kill 1 VC soldier — ->432 155mm to destroy 8 armored vehicles — ->145 cluster rounds to kill **173 armored vehicles!** -Let’s talk about this supposedly failed counter offensive. Ukraine tried directly storming Russian lines using combined arms tactics (lacking air power or sufficient forward SAMs). They got smacked and unlike Russia learned immediately from their mistake and immediately switched to attrition warfare, which has been going great. And, even so, they’re steadily gaining ground on all fronts. -Russian forces are spread out so thinly, that all it will take is once Ukrainian breakthrough of the main fortified lines to collapse the entire southern region. The bad news for Ukraine is that they haven’t even reached any of those main lines yet. But, let’s look at the most important thing in war: logistics. - *EVERY NUMBER IS GOING THE WRONG WAY FOR RUSSIA* Ukraine has more and better weapons and systems in every single area than they did since the war began. Let’s use artillery as an example: -Ukraine has roughly 400 more artillery systems than they did before the war began.* -Russia meanwhile, has had 1,076 visually confirmed artillery system losses. *However, I will add a caveat here that hurts Ukraine here. That added number comes with a downside, which is that they have a dizzy array of diversity in their systems now, which makes logistics a massive challenge. It is said that up to 1/3rd of their artillery systems are down for maintenance at any one time. -Meanwhile, according to the number of shells Russia has fired and the average EFC service rate of their artillery, they’ve burnt out more than 6,000 guns since the war began. And, surprise surprise, satellite photos show that Russia has brought 5,000+ guns out of deep storage artillery yards. And, because Russia’s artillery is so much less precise and they have no precision MLRS systems, they will have to continue to massively out fire Ukraine to hope to even be half as effective as Ukrainian artillery fire. They don’t have the shells to do this and they’re running out of stockpiled guns too. Moreover, while Ukraine had many more soldiers and weapons systems of every type since the war began, Russia: -has lost Wagner -has lost the vast majority of Spetsnaz / elite soldiers -has lost most of their best pilots and are suffering major rotary attrition and significant fixed wing attrition -has depleted their long range missile stockpiles -has lost the majority of their competent junior officers -has had a huge number of senior commanders killed or maimed and seem insistent on firing and arresting a number of their best commanders too -has no way of replacing any of their depleted systems or munitions in any significant number -has so few soldiers they cannot rotate anyone and studies show that soldiers become drastically less effective after anywhere between 2-5 months without time away from the front Finally, -their economy is in free fall (a ruble is now equivalent in value to a single penny in USD) -Putin doesn’t dare have another mobilization and is dependent on whatever he can scrape together in illegal conscription in backwater villages where the chances of mass unrest or media attention are minimal -It’s clear a significantly sized faction in the FSB and MoD have turned on Putin. If that weren’t the case, the Wagner mutiny isn’t possible So, all-in-all, the worst case scenario is that it’s going to take well into 2024 to clear Russia out of their land. But, even if it takes longer than that, it’s going to happen. Every category of the war is going in the wrong direction for Russia. Putin is unlikely to cling to power if this war is still going on at this level going into 2024 regardless. That last point, admittedly, is speculation. However, I certainly wouldn’t want to be in his shoes going in to another winter that will freeze thousands of Russian soldiers to death. I cannot see a coup from inside the power brokers or a mutiny by starving and freezing troops not taking place at that point.

  2808. Bad leadership below him has always been part of Putin’s plan because he doesn’t want a rival. That is doubly true now. He is too paranoid to allow the army to develop a cohesive command structure with a clear leader because that leader may consolidate too much power and too many plaudits.

Oligarchs, how the terms is used today, means kleptocrat and most commonly Russian kleptocrats because besides China, Russia has the most oligarchs/kleptos. Basically, those whose wealth is stolen directly or nearly so from the government and resources that should belong to the country. Kleptocracy is much more common outside the US and the West in countries with virtually no rule of law. In the US and Europe, we have many who are wealthy from or a combination of rigged stock market, legacy wealth which imparts an unfair advantage in capital and basically a small group of super wealthy who use their financial advantage to keep growing their share of the pie in a way that is unhealthy for society.

  2841.  @233kosta  Good point. While we can’t control if there’s oil on the track or if someone spins in front of us, we’re never going to be trapped without oxygen or visibility because the track caved in. And why it’s doubly terrifying sitting shotgun giving lessons to an entitled 911 owners. I think the other thing is maybe 75% of the population isn’t naturally geared toward going fast in machinery, so it seems more difficult/risk to them. Just like geometry and physics is Greek to me. If my life depended on figuring out problems like that, I’d be terrified. But, again, with modern safety equipment you have to do something really crazy to come anywhere close to a life altering injury, unless you’re in an open wheel car doing oval or just an ancient Formula Ford. So, it is, objectively speaking, far less dangerous.

  2842.  @233kosta  Well, I think that’s actual pretty normal for the race community. Mechanics and drivers who can fix and engineer their own car are a disproportionate share of the racing community and it’s a community that seems to have natural disposition for being good at music and math/geometry, which I think are related. Being able to see how things work in your head. Meanwhile, I’m all Cole Trickle over here. The first time I replaced a fuel line I was so pleased with myself you’d have thought I split the atom. And I likely couldn’t do it twice. I’ve been lucky to have many mechanic friends. You cannot learn to be a fast race car driver if you start out a powerful car let alone one with tons of aids, unless you’re amazingly talented. I’m OCD and like figuring out the mitigating details. For example, I like the nitty gritty of aviation. Anyone who goes in-depth into aviation processes and mechanics knows why flying is so safe. But I’m insanely claustrophobic. So, cave diving is just a source of primal terror for me.

Reluctance to adopt to progress is not an excuse. It’s a defect. We see this time and again throughout history. Elites who have grown lazy and arrogant on past successes become deaf to advice and get bloodied or wiped out by upstarts.

NATO countries have done huge work on the transfer of significant volumes of armored vehicles and ammunition: in total, since the beginning of 2023, it has been announced that the AFU will receive 890 units of infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and BATs (this equipment will be enough to staff ~ 29 mechanized battalions), more than 1.5 million units of ammunition, more than 80 self-propelled guns and howitzers, as well as means of delivering deep operational strikes (GLSDB is a type of ammunition for the HIMARS system, which is built around a planning bomb). the Ukrainian armed forces have begun to form 3 army corps based on both strategic reserve brigades and personnel brigades that actively took part in hostilities, as well as units that are currently in the process of being formed. We are talking about creating a "shock fist" of 75 thousand military personnel, which is designed to do what was previously not possible to implement during the Kharkov-Izyum operation - to mass the forces and conduct a continuous high-intensity offensive, without being distracted by losses or rotations.

If it were a simple “my boss propositioned or grabbed my a**” type case I’d be inclined to agree there was a high possibility of innocent despite settlement. Not in this type of case though, especially since Andrew would know the publicity and media coverage would NEVER end just because he settled the case.

  2892. I hope you speak up in Belgium. The country has been one of the worst supporters in the EU of Ukraine and they intentionally spend less than 1% on defense in violation of their NATO obligations despite Brussels being its HQ. Hell, they make the army run education programs for troubled youth, but not in hopes of recruiting them. Just to get them off their own hands.

  2896. I’d love if Ukraine got back Crimea, but those who understand Russia and its domestic politics, know Ukraine will, sadly, never get it back while Putin or someone similar rules Russia. I think, if tactical nukes are not introduced, this war will end with Ukraine recovering about 65% of the territory they’ve lost since 2/24. It would mean Russia captured about 5% of Ukraine at the cost of revealing their conventional forces are a joke (instead of the second most powerful) and worse, ruining their economy for decades with energy sales falling off a cliff, their arms sales also falling off a cliff with many of their top exports like SAMs performing poorly, 90% of multinationals having pulled out for at least a decade (which was responsible for 35% of Russian jobs), years of crippled industry in every sector with limited access to western components and on and on. Trillions and trillions of dollars lost for a sliver of Ukraine.

  2900. Col. Carl Williams looks real trust worthy. lol. Even as a white, I just simply assume anything a cop says is a lie unless proven otherwise, especially in the case of minorities. Even if she did shoot a cop, let’s remember that if you’re black and have a weapon on you, you’ll likely be shot out of hand. Cops are even shooting unarmed black people in their own homes that made the mistake of requesting police assistance. Cops arrive at the house, see the black owner and assume they’ve broken in should be shot without warning.

  2915. F1’s getting way too soft. The conditions should be part of the challenge + Qatar 23 was a one off. When I race, keeping my head cool is priority #1 obviously (turns out keeping your 🧠 at optimal temps really helps 😂), but I assume if the blood is being cooled at your core, your brain won’t heat up and therefore is overall more helpful. But the cool air on my head has a secondary benefit, which cool suits didn’t. It kept me feeling relaxed. Though it could dry your eyes on extremely long stints. My cockpit usually never dropped below 60+ c /140+ F though and I didn’t start using the system though until I was nearly 40 and had put on weight. F1 drivers are in peak physical condition and the conditions should be part of the challenge.

  2924. May I recommend interviewing the creator behind Sacrasmitron’s amazing four-part series that begins around 2000 and traces the bizarre mix of elements that led to many of the political and military events pre-2/24, which as someone whose job involves analyzing Eastern European domestic and foreign politics, there wasn’t a lot I was not yet aware of. Two parts document a series of both comical + riveting misunderstandings among principal 🇷🇺, 🇺🇦 and 🇺🇸 players; influences both malign and incompetent, a circular exchange of conspiracy theories first dreamed up in the U.S. by fringe operators in both the political + media spheres, which was then swallowed by Putin and his circle with Russian academic papers and propaganda news in Russian language by Americans who then basically cited it as proof of their own conspiracy theories…cause it was lifted from them in the first place!
    2
  2925. I wonder if this guy will ever be allowed to be interviewed again. Interviewer did a great job getting the most honest responses from a non-dissident I’ve seen so far while not pressing too hard for responses he knew would get this guy jailed, except maybe when he kept asking aren’t you ashamed of Russia? That wasn’t cool. The guy already said they’re making a huge mistake in turning Ukraine against them.

  2926. Maybe yours should be included because of how clueless and gullible you are: DIVERSITY hiring policies DO NOT EXIST in the pilot industry. Don’t believe everything Majorie Taylor Greene tells you. Secondly, all that matters is the performance data from their training. I don’t want a pilot who took three attempts to pass exams getting hired because of your welfare for whites idea.

  2931. Sadly, still a lot more than Ukraine despite their surgical destruction of Russian depots. Russia will basically just be stalled a bit while more shells are shipped to the front.
    2
  2932. Wish you guys would go more in-depth rather than these short interviews in which you ask identical questions over and over again and get nearly identical answers. You should interview someone like Kristaps Andjerson who explains the culture that Putin inhabits and how the West has NEVER been able to wrap their head around how Putin thinks, why negotiating agreements with him on anything was always a fool’s errand and why it makes it impossible for Putin to agree on peace.

  2942. I heard Zelensky is demanding to drag his balls against Putin’s face as part of any proposed peace settlement. Anyway, there was a .01% chance 🇷🇺 was going to try to go further let alone into NATO territory, but we don’t need any justification for anything the West is doing.

  2943. 10% of the population actively not wanting the war while 50% of Russians saying “no opinion” yet celebrated Crimea’s capture and 40% whom support Putin and the war absolves no one.

  2947. Since they’re already blamed for everything and SA would be as poor as a Central African county if it wasn’t for the US (look up the history of SA oil discovery), they should just occupy SA and take their oil. Their population is tiny, so it’s nothing like trying to occupy Iraq or Afghanistan.
    2
  2948. Beyond the nearly 500,000 planes, tanks and trucks from 🇺🇸, let’s not forget that without the Brits and Enigma breaking the Germans’ codes, Russia wouldn’t have had all the Germans’ plans and dispositions on a silver platter. The value of that is incalculable.
    2
  2949. Russia’s and the USSR’s militaries couldn’t be more different and people can’t seem to fully internalize this. They were able to draw on 150m+ people of which many were soldiers from their regional militaries. Ukraine was their tech and weapons development forge. The now independent Eastern countries were their uranium sources. They’ve lost so much. Artillery, aircraft and nukes in large numbers is all they have left over and even of those, they have much less.

  2957. It’s a lot cheaper to deter a future war than fight one and that’s what you’ll get if Ukraine isn’t supported. Besides, Europe hasn’t even spent .1% of GDP on aid. So, nothing. Moreover, the US sent weapons that were costing US money (we’ve spent hundreds-of-millions disposing DPICM and HMMWVs aka Humvees alone) and almost everything sent was retired or being retired (M113s, Avengers, Hawk, old M2s, 60 year old M60 chassis based engineering vehicles) and MRAPS stuck overseas that weren’t worth the cost of sending home. And our old systems, which were already paid for decades ago, have done so well we’ve seen a massive surge in arms orders which enriches our MIC and provides thousands more jobs.

Either way, I get why he annoys you though. An undercurrent that he knows more than he does. BTW, he did once say he was NATO’ Supreme Allied Commander and before that Raytheon’s most senior FSR on the M270. That might not have been true.

  2962. I’m a big believer in capitalism, but not completely unfettered capitalism. There needs to be a revision to what fiduciary duty to shareholders means. The duty should only be one of long term profitability. Not maximizing shareholder fiduciary duty at the cost of long term company health, the cost of at least decent treatment of employees or things like selling to a dictator who will use the company’s product for evil purposes.

  2979. That’s what happens when you let your country’s industrialists shift all production to a single country. You end up with your balls in a vice grip. They make all our shit and they’ve got nukes. So, besides massive sanctions against China (which I would support), which would send our teetering global economy over the cliff and throw us into global financial chaos. Really, it is up to everyday people all around the world to force change via their wallet and demand manufacturing be brought home or at least to humane countries. Do this by refusing to buy anything but groceries (70% of the shit we spend $ on isn’t needed and the other 20% we need to continue essential business can likely be sourced from another country) and it will fuck China up and maybe even end the Uighur genocide or at least get Xi removed and then they can blame the Uighurs on Xi and release them. But people are way to selfish and lazy to do that. So, yeah...

  2991. I have a unique looking chiweenie that sometimes gets similar questions from toddlers, but little kids have no filter and mean no harm. They ask awkward questions like that all the time. It’s not necessarily them being bratty or even mean even if they unintentionally hurt our feelings. I was taking care of my gf’s sister’s 2 year old and he asked someone why they were so fat. He also asked someone why they were so tall. He was too little to understand the world even after I told him people don’t like questions like that.

So, yes, if you were going to know enough to suggest let alone formalize an actually applicable plan, including getting the actual states to agree to a solution, making that solution one in which the inhabitants on the ground also adhere to, figuring out the logistical requirements such as resettling people, forming a neutral enforcement force, dearming hard liners, etc. Yes, days, weeks, months.

  3003.  @arminep8099  No, none can be understood in minutes. It’s just that have I an extremely deep understanding of the Ukraine/Russia conflict having done boring intel reports since 2017 and continue to do so and I know and was speaking on the fact that the situation in Ukraine is actually almost comically black and white (I.E., Russia never had any non-fabricated reasons for what they’re doing, how they’ve conducted the war, etc.). Maybe this conflict is as simple in terms of right and wrong, but I highly doubt it. As my op explained, I have quite superficial knowledge of the conflict and therefore cannot make any useful suggestions. I was speaking on the impression I’ve gotten over the years that it seems like one of those conflicts that will never end, unless one side is ethnically cleansed. I read all comments, like yours, with appreciation on given more info and/or opinion. Even heavily biased posts are helpful because they help inform one on the information space, the convictions held by those most personally invested, etc.

  3005.  @spxram4793  That $50b is a five year package (a pathetic $10b per year), not for military aid and from over 30 countries and is worth less than .1% of GDP. Also, they get backfilled for donations, which means they get better equipment than they’ve giving. And the training was only a few thousand soldiers.
    2
  3006.  @spxram4793  Indeed, every $ in direct economic aid frees up a $ for defense spending. Setting up defense manufacturing in Ukraine is good, but like you said very late. The other thing is that a lot of these agreements are still just a single desk and a phone rather than a blitz speed effort to get construction up and going. The biggest problem is selfish countries like France saying we agree that there should be a consolidated shell production plan, but then they delay and block the plan if it isn’t based in France or benefit them disproportionately in some other way. Also, countries like France, Spain and Italy whine that there’s not enough platforms to give while exporting arms in huge quantities. Basically, they’re not treating like this an actual war in which they can be bothered to divert even a small % of arms sales.

  3024. We’re sixty excuses/new goal posts down the road. The last one was “we’d release the tanks if they just submitted the paperwork.” So, yesterday they submitted them and are now saying “Well, don’t expect us to make a decision immediately!” as if there is anything they couldn’t have possibly considered by now.

  3035. I wonder how long those guys who just outline themselves in the sun lasted. Common sense can take you a long way in war I am guessing. This was definitely the most dangerous part of the war in terms of dying by near chance with both sides so intermixed before any real lines established, command and control seemed non-existent, etc. With hindsight, I am guessing you would have waited for the later, more coherent phases of the war to start. I would have found your first mission extremely frustrating.

  3062. I’ll give you about 20 examples of how everything you said is wrong: Energy was 80% of their GDP and Gazprom was their cash cow. It is now losing billions per year. Because of their lost refinery capacity, they’re having to flood the market with crude to generate enough $ to reimport refined petroleum products. They used to have a healthy share of the global arms export business. Their sales are so non-existent now you couldn’t even see their share in a pie chart. They’ve lost more than a million of their most educated professionals. They’ve stolen international corporations’ assets such as factories and satellites waiting for launch and forced them to sell their businesses for essentially 1 on the dollar, guaranteeing they’ll have no foreign investors for at least a decade and they won’t be investing in expensive infrastructure that can be seized if they do. They used to have nearly 50% of the world’s market in launching space cargo. Now, they have less than 10%. They’re so financially insolvent that for the first time in the history of Russia personal income taxes are being raised and actually enforced. Their stock market just collapsed. Russia is hardly sharing any of the data they used to or are required to. And they cherry pick the only healthy looking items they can find. All their supposed “growth” is based on buying weapons from themselves. That’s not growth. It’d be like saying we’re going to pay our labor 7-8x their normal wages (because of labor shortage) to produce weapons and spend 4-5x the amount on buying foreign components required which mean they cost 10x more than they had and say they’re thriving. Their biggest petroleum customers India, pays them in rupees, which cannot be converted or spent anyway outside India. But India doesn’t produce anything they need. So, it’s like being paid in monopoly $. Do I need to go on?

  3063. And it gets worse, the ruble has collapsed and there was a run on the banks today in Russia. People are waiting in line to exchange their rubles for dollars even at the horrible rate of 200 rubles to 1 USD. In 2020 it 61 rubles to the dollar.

  3066. Scholz deserves zero thanks for this. 🇩🇪 contributed more to creating this war more than anyone besides 🇷🇺 . They blocked 🇺🇦 from NATO in 2008, blocked tough sanctions against 🇷🇺 in 2014, had an ex-chancellor on the Gazprom board and became almost entirely reliant on Russian energy despite the risks being obvious. So, why is it any surprise Putin thought he could get away with this invasion? Even Western analysts were uniformly surprised by how much support 🇺🇦 was getting and at the time that was just enough to stop Russian progress at dear cost in blood + infrastructure. So, Germany deserves zero slack. They weren’t the only country to make mistakes that lead here, but they’ve been the most obstructionist and their aid, by GDP/per capita, is weak. So, we’d be basically thanking them for finally being boxed into a corner where saying no would lead to the ends of their arms industry, their credibility and near future opps to be a leader. And even then it still took the US committing to Abrams first. Shame on the SPD and CDU.

But even a wild raccoon, as long as it’s given a blood test to check for any contagions + standard pet vaccines is just as safe as any other animal. There’s this mistaken idea many people believe that rabies can just like spontaneously occur in raccoons, bats, foxes, coyotes, etc.

  3092. The volume of Russian bots deployed since the invasion of Ukraine is exemplified by this comment’s like count. Basically everyone disagrees with the comment, but it’s one of the most upvoted.

  3093. There are types like him in America. They swallow jingoist messages and think tough talk makes you a man. I honestly felt bad for him though. He seemed like he might be moderately intellectually challenged, have low self esteem and seeking validation. Just the type to be susceptible to nationalist ideals (IE corrupt politicians pretending to be tough guy patriots while in reality all they do is exploit their citizens). When that creepy teacher said good job, he seemed to beam like a golden retriever getting praise from its owner. It was really sad. In most high schools in America, a student spouting ideas that sounded straight out of a government speech would be looked at very oddly.

  3104. PBS did cover it. In fact, they did so many documentaries on it Republicans wanted to take away their funding because they did’t like them exposing things we did wrong. So, clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about. Did you expect them to include it here when this story has nothing to do with the US? It’s Russia and Ukraine, but you’re looking for excuses. “Oh, this is OK because some American soldiers did bad things in Iraq and Afghanistan!” BTW, America built tons of hospitals and infrastructure in both those countries. You think Russia is going to do the same?

  3107. CIA agents are not geopolitical experts and this guy shows it. He’s so clueless about both the Ukraine conflict as well as why the US will protect Taiwan (luckily, it has nothing to do with benevolence or you couldn’t count on them). To compare HK to Taiwan, whether from a “legal” standpoint or a geopolitical standpoint as similar situations, shows an embarrassing level of ignorance. Also, America’s strategic ambiguity policy does not match his explanation at all of our stance on Taiwan. And, BTW, that stance will always vary greatly from one administration to the next, but not letting China take Taiwan has become a bi-partisan issue.

Meanwhile, McLaren didn’t share those issues because it makes its own gearbox and rear suspension. More evidence of this comes from Ferrari + Haas who share the same rear suspension and gearbox & had massively improved tire life + performance & were strong at the same tracks.

  3152. Both sides of this argument are equally tiresome and ignorant. Some pharaohs, conquerors from Sudan, were black, but they were not the original or final rulers of Egypt. You are the flip side of the coin to the people that think they were white because they saw a movie about Cleopatra who a Ptolemaic ruler (very white Macedonians who came many centuries after the last pharaoh) and think the pharaohs were white. The original Egyptians were Mediterranean / dark olive in complexion. Their own hieroglyphs show what their skin color looked like based on the era.

  3156. 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).
    2
  3157. They actually did build the lines. They’re just that short on manpower, supplies, etc. and lack of ability to use airpower, competent command, modern comms and so on. They were already on the defensive months ago. So, they definitely expected the possibility of having to withdraw.

Just like dating white girls, looks and intelligence are the most important. Not in the market anymore though...I’m with someone m

  3182. 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.

  3183.  @alkante2962  Yeah, there is a lot to be worried about at severodonetsk. The only good thing is that there are no bridges available for the Russians to seal off the Ukrainians there and the Ukrainians control the only intact bridge that leads out of the area if they need to escape.

  3191. I’ve seen the state of the poor. There’s a big difference between how homeless people are allowed to be treated here than how working class people are treated. I’ve never been to a fancy restaurant where waiters are crying in the back because their patrons are so cruel to them. The homeless are just mainly ignored and shuffled around. 90% of America’s homeless require mental healthcare and don’t get it, but we know China isn’t going to be taking care of mentally ill people out of pocket and treating them with compassion. There’s no homeless mafia here that’s allowed to rent children for begging or disfigure people to maximize street donations. It’s apples and oranges. We also don’t have concentration camps. Our main problem is a DISGRACEFUL gap between the ultra wealthy and everyone else. Again, not a place China is doing any better. So, WHERE EXACTLY, is China doing less disgusting things than US society?

  3192. I don’t agree. The owner is lucky he’s making him square. You accept the risk that these things happen when you track cars. It’s also why you can see him take it easier when the car is insanely expensive.

  3193. Other than the earliest months of the war, there’s basically been zero to five actual tank on tank battles. As you’ve mentioned, they have mainly served as indirect fire, for trench and troop concentration clearing and to hit hardened points like cement buildings with direct fire.

  3195. This is exactly why 🇷🇺 is struggling right now. Without Western firms to do energy extraction, 🇷🇺 is helpless. The profitability drops off a cliff. Anyway, you can’t begrudge a country as poor as Guyana making the most of its new oil reserves.
    2
  3196. It’s not a big deal because Ukraine has nearly 55,000 troops training in Europe right now. That’s a massive number. Many of them are training on weapons systems not yet announced. That this many people are there has been kept largely secret. When they get back along with all the new equipment, Russia is going to be crushed.

  3197.  @malcolmgibson5088  Once they’ve all professional soldiers and they’ve already lost 90% of them, doesn’t matter how much cannon fodder than shove in the back with a rifle barrel, everything will fall apart quickly and then Russia will fracture. And the very thing they try to accuse the West of trying to do, they will have done to themselves.

Such a terrifying situation to be in the clouds and unsure of where the terrain was. However, even with the terrible ATC, they shouldn’t have even been there.

  3202.  @ridemx77  You didn’t, but it’s used as an excuse 90% of the time by those who try to say Russia is somehow justified in its invasion. So, ignore that then and tell me about this history I’m missing that you believe justifies their invasion.

  3203. How dare you insult Tucker?! He’s the right’s favorite candidate to run for president. He is totally objective and a true patriot. 😅 As for Meta, they could have disabled Russian networks out of actions years ago (as you implied). They’re basically traitors. Half the users in right wing online conversation are Russian bots spreading lies (e.g., Ukrainians selling lethal aid while it’s actually Russians who have been selling armored vehicles to Ukraine - it’s only happened twice, but still amazing).
    2
  3204.  @xXDESTINYMBXx  Uh, nothing is ever driven by a single factor. But basic supply and demand makes your idea silly. You cannot just buy property and raise rents without higher volume and demand/competition for those properties. That competition is largely coming in foreign flight capital looking for safe investment havens. Why do you think most of the new luxury properties in NYC has no one actually living in them? Look at Vancouver if you want an example of Chinese capital flight sending real estate prices soaring. You need to learn more about EVERYTHING.

  3205.  @andybrown6981  Sounds like you were more interested in insulting Detroit than making an actual relevant point about money laundering and capital flight. BTW, remember folks, no one actually technically owns land home in China. It’s a 99 year lease and when 80% of the properties builr there are just sawdust facades with no tunction, no tenant revenue generation etc., it’s only a matter of time before the house of cards collapses. More importantly for China’s wealthy, you’re always one political upheaval or “corruption reform campaign” away from having your assets seized.

  3210.  @MIEJ4 Yes. They don’t x-ray your roll cage, but they do look to see if it’s been smashed up or deformed… If you’ve raced, I’m sure you’re familiar with driver and vehicle logbooks and the scrutineering process.

  3219. We don’t NEED supersonic passenger planes. Sure, it’s cool, but there is ZERO need for it. I’d love a couple to be available for anyone who wants to experience it, but unless you’re talking about a specialized passenger sized supersonic planes to be used for super special reasons where both speed and cargo capacity are needed for life and death situations, there is no need for it. In fact, it sounds like just another way to waste fuel for status and novelty.
    2
  3220. Your hypothetical/initial thesis (that the US lost to weaker enemies) is flawed from the outset. America easily won the battlefield wars. They just couldn’t build install friendly governments without a paper cut insurgency. The US also isn’t willing to wipe out civilians en masse. As for Vietnam, they were getting massive arms support from Russia and had a huge manpower advantage.

The problem is investment banks having access to cheap money (it should be restricted to small businesses) and the banks gambling with depositors’ and investors’ money on a company basic due diligence and common sense would tell you would never work (an easily duplicated model, no assets, no model for making profit and never made profit, etc.).

  3232. 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.

The 787 has also been a great plane. But both these projects were begun before Boeing had lost all of its soul.

  3243. Yes, it’s a threat, but Russia, China, India, etc. are all predators too. No super power does anything solely out of the kindness of their hearts. I like this host but she is not being honest about one thing: she said the US and the West have offered Ukraine “only words.” The US has only contributed literally 10x the entire debt of Sri Lanka in lethal weapons and financial aid w/ZERO debt attached to it. Add in contributions by the EU and we’re talking billions more. What has India done? Finally, at least these American threats are for a good reason: keeping them from enabling Russia’s war on Ukraine and actually using Ukraine’s miserable situation to profit. lol

  3254. 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.

Just look at their super license points system, Alonso’s penalty in Australia which came from a biased steward with a personal grudge, etc.

  3264. This guy is clueless when it comes to military matters. The craziest thing he said was that Russia has another 9,000 refurishable tanks (they don’t even have half that number and even if they did, you need tankers not just tanks) and the manpower to last another 8-9 years. Neither is even close to true and not a single other expert, including pro-Russian experts, says Russia could sustain manpower and armor for another five years let alone nine years. Even crazier is the idea that we’re running out of equipment. We’ve given less than a 100 Bradleys and we have thousands.

  3273.  @sasha-taylor Some of the Airbus automated failures have also been more terrifying than the Boeing issues. Besides making pilots overly dependent on automation, the Quantas A380 incident shows how little control a pilot has over its plane on an Airbus when there’s a cascading software problem. As a passenger, if I’m flying with bad pilots, I’d rather be on an Airbus. With great pilots, I’d rather be on a Boeing.

  3305. China’s domestic green energy projects and tech are 100% fraudulent yet they’re not called out for it. They even have “wind turbines” that are plugged into a coal electricity grid. They have EV manufacturers building cars just to get the guaranteed subsidy and then literally ditching them in a field. Sure, they sell real solar panels, which isn’t that tech intensive. But their green projects are all fraudulent. There’s a single Chinese multinational that emits more CO2 than the entire US.

  3307. What they’re doing is quite literally no different than if you took 100 random civilians off of an American street, gave them rifles and an APC and told them to reach point x on the map. Can you imagine the chaos? I also think they might have thought they had lined up their wheels to drive through the gaps. They likely wouldn’t even know magnetic mines are a thing. I know they exist, but I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference while looking through a slot gap in an IFV.

  3326.  @heraklesnothercules.  Russia essentially used its navy blockade Ukrainian grain shipment. Eventually Turkey brokered a deal with Russia to allow 🇺🇦 to ship grain, but it was subject to inspections by Russians (who claimed it was about ensuring the ships weren’t transporting weapons back). Anyway, the Russians intentionally make the inspections take as long as possible, which is limiting how much grain Ukraine can ship out.
    2
  3327.  @diogorodrigues747  Well, it provides another option, which is good since the more options the better since it spreads out Russian forces. However, Donetsk has been turned into a giant fortress and is much harder to maneuver through with forests, streams, hills, marshes, etc. However, much easier for them to quietly amass forces in Kherson and coming toward Crimea will also create profitable panic there.
    2
  3328.  @Truspio  You’re making no sense. In Vuhledar the AFU is ON TOP of a high hill with tall buildings giving them a commanding view of everything Russia is trying to do. On top of that Vuhledar was fortified long ago. Southern Kherson only has substantial fortifications at the Northern perimeter. There is nowhere to create a defensible position on the steppes and in the desert. And the AFU could simply drive around it even if they did setup one.
    2
  3329.  @diogorodrigues747  I do not believe Russia still has a manpower advantage or if they still do, it’s not by much. And as I think you mentioned, they’re mostly totally untrained. As for artillery, their numerical advantage is offset by their poor accuracy, range, lack of equality in artillery spotting drones compared to Ukraine, horrible communications and coordination and increasingly old, unstable shells and barrels that I am sure are not being replaced nearly often enough.
    2
  3330.  @Truspio  Ukraine has a massive artillery advantage in terms of quality. It’s not even a comparison. And in totality, I’d rather have what Ukraine has now over what Russia has. Russia would be winning if that were not the case. And Ukraine now has in the area of 500+ Western howitzers, SPG/Hs, etc. And one Excalibur round is worth at least 30 normal rounds. Russians waste dozens and dozens of rounds trying to hit one fixed target. The Excalibur means one round one hit and can hit mobile targets too. And each HIMARS is worth who knows how many howitzers let alone Grads. Once they get the GLSDB on top of that, one HIMARS system will be worth 500 Russian howitzers.

  3331. How pathetic does Putin look with Lukashenko as his only friend?
    2
  3332. Guys like Macron are giving pathetic levels of support and would love an excuse to stop helping. The problem with Germany is just because they doubled their support budget for 🇺🇦 doesn’t mean they’ll spend it (they have really weird budgetary laws that don’t let them spend if there’s inflation).

  3335.  @jasonbouvette1077  Chicago’s rivers and the lake are very clean now. It’s been 30+ years since they were cleaned up. And, if you’re talking about the rivers during the days when there was still meatpacking done here, it’s been 100 years since the rivers were basically toxic.

  3338. It makes more sense to leave Russia with yolk of Kherson around their necks.

  3339. Regular news sources are absolutely worthless when it comes to covering this war. And the YT creators covering Ukraine that do basically top news of the day summaries are mostly nearly as clueless.

  3341. I don’t think we instructors or any experienced driver can stress often or strongly enough how impossible it is to develop race skills driving modern performance cars. Forget recent sports cars, an E30 M3 is way too much car for a novice. Even most very good semi-pro racers will never be able to extract 100% out of something like a race prepped M3 let alone a supercar.

  3347. Your friend would have been right if Russia was a major exporter of industrial and commercial goods beyond grain and fertilizer. However, Putin and his oligarchs have been anything but focused on logistical efficiency for the purposes of industry. As long as they had a firehose of easy profit from hydrocarbons, they could care less about growing other sectors of the economy. Furthermore, due to climate change, ports which once locked during winter have opened up to year around access. I could go into all the main driving factors, but critically, Russia saw Ukraine as an easy win with many benefits, including political (domestically), economic (de facto control of Ukrainian resources via access granted by puppets as well as direct control and access in the East, legacy building for Putin, eliminating Ukraine as what they deludedly thought was a base for CIA operatives trying to launch a color revolution in Russia (Putin fully believed Russia’s 2012 protests were the result of a CIA operation), etc. All which they expected to gain with no resistance from Ukraine and the only cost would be a small slap on the wrist in the form of mild and temporary sanctions. The latter expectation being frankly logical based on all the precedents the West had set after similar actions by Russia.

No offense to Denys who I like, but he makes a ton of mistakes (e.g., yesterday, he said Ukraine needs the Patriot system ASAP because it’s good for intercepting ballistic missiles but not cruise missiles when it’s actually the exact opposite], often picks up on pie in the sky reports like Rheimenmetal opening a factory in Ukraine to make Panther tanks with integrated air defense for only. 200m Euros, almost never shares details you couldn’t get from glancing at the headlines, etc.

  3365. Even if we assumed no MiG-29 peer, we’ve seen both Russia + their Soviet predecessors showing time & again an inability to execute complicated sorties let alone complicated multi-ship sorties requiring independent initiative. Pilots trained to and used to operating via highly regimented ground based commanders do not fare well in complicated, messy environments let alone against air forces designed to do exactly that. Also, Saab has produced jets for decades designed to take off from almost anywhere with extreme resistance to FOD. I’ll give him a break on this topic though as Sweden wasn’t part of NATO during this theoretical scenario.

More accurate to say that showing countries won’t be allowed to get away with this will literally save us money in the long by persuading China now to invade Taiwan, which would truly result in a global economic collapse.

    2
  3405.  @Fulcrum205  I never said it was and I never said there weren’t other guidance systems. There’s a huge array of targeting and guidance options and multiple working in tandem is typically the best. Cutting off GPS signal to dinky little drones won’t work for long. Ukraine has already introduced an AI to finish the mission when signal is lost either due to losing line of sight signal in the last 10-15 feet or jamming.

    2
  3412.  @Felix-bj1pe  I never said Russia didn’t make any of their own drones. However, Russia isn’t being successful in making nearly as many due to the rigidity of the Russian system; the recent brain drain and much less private donor money coming into the country for the purpose.
    2
  3413.  @wolfswinkel8906  Only someone completely unfamiliar w/everything that’s happened so far in the war would need all these details filled in for them. Did you forget the 1.4m educated Russians who fled Russia between 2022 and summer 2023? Do you not understand how drone production would be hurt by the loss of tens-of-thousands of skilled programmers, engineers, additive manufacturing experts, etc.? Have you not seen videos of Russian troops complaining about a disparity in drones? If Russia cannot even provide IFAKs for 5% of their troops, stop the theft of basic soldier necessities being bought by loved ones and sent to their husband/son/father at the front line, do I need to explain this?

  3417. 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.
    2
  3418. Right. He sounds like he’s getting his information exclusively from USA Today. The reason Putin isn’t going for mobilization has ZERO to do with he thinks he can do what needs to be done with what he has. It’s because of a number of reasons, including the fact that they don’t have enough men to train them, the fact that many Russians are ALREADY refusing to report for duty and it would be humiliating for it to happen in large numbers, that they’ve been pulling all their troops from non-metro areas (so, their pool of potential troops isn’t nearly as big as some think and it’s positively small if you exclude the big cities) and they may be lacking the materiel to effectively equip, deploy and supply them.
    2
  3419. Mobilization will not help Russian with manpower for at least six months and even then it’d be mostly poorly trained and poorly lead soldiers.

Thinking outside the box doesn’t help unless you have the money or the political influence to run different types or candidates and get them name recognition. The voter can literally only vote for those on the ballot. You spout platitudes like it’s profound wisdom and applicable IRL.

  3429. @ Yeah. I’m not worried about power. I wouldn’t have a problem with AC if that race wasn’t a total one-off due to freak circumstances (the tire issue which meant they had to change tires every 18 laps requiring them to push 10/10ths every lap + heat and humidity levels they almost never experience and a track with no long straights for rest + lots of long, high-g corners).

  3430.  @condedooku9750  lol, what countries would qualify as non-hypocritical. I’m from the US. You need to look into some of the Belgian cases that caused national protests when it was discovered child rapists weren’t even being investigated despite kids going missing all around them and child pedophile rings were linked to the government.
    2
  3431. The West’s problem is that many believe their support of Ukraine is an act of altruism. It’s not. It’s a cost effective and bloodless effort (bloodless for us) that will save hundreds of billions or more in the long run. It’s already set a frightening precedent for China. If Russia cannot beat a country that shares a land border and is a third its size, how can they cross 100 miles of open sea, then make an amphibious landing with only two beaches right for the job which are backed by enormous mountains and strong coastal defenses and then maintain a line of communications aka supply chain across that same 100 mile ocean gap.

For example: that Russians have trained to be a-political, that they don’t think protesting can produce any changes, that the corrupt officials just want to go back to corruption as usual, that those against the war flee rather than protest, etc. We knew all this. The only point I found interesting was his perspective was about the videos protesting for better conditions and equipment for their husbands, brothers, sons, etc. as soldiers.

  3445. 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.

  3457. I would argue Putin didn’t know he was risking his life for Ukraine or that any of this would happen. He’s been extremely cautious in the past. This was just a terrible calculation on his part. In the past he’s only gone after extremely small targets like Chechnya, a slice of Georgia, Tranisteria, etc.

  3458. And the F-15EX’s radar is insane. It can detect and smash from long distances. Also, it has by the far the most hard points / payload of any platform. It can carry 12 missiles and if incorporating the Silent Eagle’s internal bays designed, it could carry 16+ missiles. That’s insane when the F35 can carry what, just two missiles currently?

  3466.  @mariaf.6601  Don’t know, but he does try to avoid politics and what he said in the episode I referenced was highly inaccurate. 50% of Republicans say Ukraine should get less or no more aid. And Republicans are crushing the Democrats in the mid terms. Further, Fox and MAGA have turned championing Russia a full time operation.

  3469. They need up artillery to support Ukraine, but the West won’t ever need to sustain similar ammunition use for itself because their military model is completely different.
    2
  3470. The vast majority of the heavy weaponry delivered by the West has not been destroyed by Russia. Russia also is not firing precision missiles anymore or very few. Who knows if the German heavy weapons will ever come. Ukraine has showed the ability to learn very fast and be very effective in the battle field with the heavy weaponry it has received.
    2
  3471. Yeah. Dolphins can hold their own in groups, but sharks do hunt and kill dolphins often (usually calves, but adults too). I used to think dolphins were only extremely rarely attacked or killed (partly because it’s popular for shows like this to say so and because of course I wanted to believe it), but sadly not true.

  3476. It’s funny since 16,600 is way less than what they actually lost and the Russian MoD was still furious.
    2
  3477.  @DUKE_of_RAMBLE  He is getting older and he thought capturing Ukraine would leave him a great legacy. He believes the collapse of the Soviet Union was the worst thing to happen to Russia since WWII and he particularly hated the loss of Ukraine, which due to propaganda, a majority of Russians seem to think should be bound to Russia. He genuinely expected them to collapse quickly. If he thought Russia would face even 50% of the consequences they have, he would never have attempted this.
    2
  3478.  @DUKE_of_RAMBLE  It is obvious to everyone corruption/mob governance has hollowed out every institution. I am sure Putin is aware of that to some extent, which is why he was depending on initial shock and awe to win his war. When it didn’t he probably got a creeping feeling of dread.

  3479. Explosions rarely rip people into tiny pieces let alone one that happens at the very front of the plane.

  3480. Amazing video. But military leaders have to be conservative and largely give enemies the benefit of doubt to avoid an unpleasant surprise. They couldn’t factor in the very probable potential that corruption would make the advertised upgrades a hollow shell. But more importantly, they want as much $$$$ as they can get. So, they’ll exaggerate Russia and China’s military strength. Sounds like the DoD, DoS and CIA don’t have enough Russian speaking/reading people on staff to do this sort of intensive research.

  3496.  @mutteringmale  lol@the idea the Mongols didn’t care about logistics. You must have learned about them via a cartoon. They are famous for developing all kinds of innovative logistics and administrative efficiencies. Because almost no army could stand against them they often had the luxury of foraging through the countryside unopposed and picking the crops and livestock clean while the enemy starved to death in their castle. One of the reasons they were so effective was because they were about the only empire tolerant of all religions and cultures, primarily because they wanted to incorporate the most talented administrators, engineers, blacksmiths, etc. from anywhere they could get them. It also gave them Intel on every possible enemy they might ever fight. The European kingdoms of the time, by contrast, were so often a complete joke when it came to planning. Their pride and religious fervor often convinced them they could triumph without putting in the work. They were wrong. Anyway, if you consider strategies, which included foraging on a mega scale to supply themselves while cutting off their enemies supplies, not caring about logistics, I’m afraid you don’t understand how ancient warfare worked. Or modern warfare for that matter.

  3511. 47% of Russians are now in favor of ending the war even if it means losing annexed territory. Only 12% support investing more resources. So, they CAN learn after all. The West needs to press Putin’s crumbling support.

  3515. Of course. It’s be idiotic to go across the river. They already started occupying the Kinburn peninsula on the south bank that is west of Kherson (it’s technically part of Mykolayiv oblast) and they’ll attack from the direction of Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk.

  3518. Even if one don’t care about the human toll, there are selfish reasons the West shouldn’t want to let Russia win. They’ve has already weaponized energy, if they are given Eastern Ukraine Russia will be able to control the global food supply from two ends which will be like putting two more guns to our head. If we don’t meet their blackmail demands, they will be able trigger famine which triggers wars which triggers refugee floods. Here’s how: 1. Control of the world’s largest grain supply 2. And control of the world’s ability to grow crops with a high yield as Russia is the world’s biggest exporter of fertilizer (you know...that stuff needed for both farming + making explosives), which it has already weaponized by recently banning its export, which has quadrupled its cost for farmers. And Eastern Ukraine is rich in the nitrates to make fertilizer and explosives. 3. If we don’t give Russia its demands for all arctic resources, Finland/Sweden not in NATO, Ukraine, Etc., they can release a tidal wave of refugees fleeing starvation and war to America and Europe. Famine is has been historically the biggest source of war and mass migration. 4. And don’t forget massive increases in the price of food. 5. You set a terrible precedent that would likely lead to China invading Taiwan which would destroy the global supply chain and economy 6. No one would ever give up nukes voluntarily again or our security assurances seriously

  3521.  @AltCtrlSpud  Not sure you understand just how massive an army Ukraine has built up at the same time Russia’s has become absolutely decimated to at most 30% the size. 🇺🇦 has gotten, at minimum, 100,000 new throughly trained and/or up trained soldiers, they’ve had another roughly 200,000 who have received basic infantry training (two week training course) and then at least another men 100,000 made up of a mixture of pre-existing/surfing territorial defense forces, ad hoc regional militias, official and unofficial foreign volunteer units, etc. Beyond this, while Russian morale is non-existent and they fight rival units harder than they fight themselves, the Ukrainians are highly motivated and confident with extremely effective military apps: nettles for mapping enemy targets and forces and auto generating objectives without having to go up the chain of command; an automated app that gives AFU commanders real time force disposition reports all over Ukraine and other apps for logistics and ISR. Russia has none of these. It takes them hours to report a new target up the chain of command and hours more to get authorization and orders back down the down chain of command. It takes them days to gather a halfway accurate assessment of the combat readiness and size of their forces in each designated combat zone.
    2
  3522. So, moral of the story, the only area Russia has an advantage is naval and air power. Neither of which they are able to use to any effect in Ukraine. And in every other area they’re hopelessly outmatched, including artillery because an ability to fire 3x more shells means nothing when you’re firing dumb shells with inaccurate artillery pieces that hit 1 in 50 shots while your opponent can hit you with 1 every 10 shots.
    2
  3523.  @wishusknight3009  I doubt the ratio is 1:5, but even if it was 5x worse at 1:1, this is the toughest phase and Russia is hopelessly undermanned and stretched out defending places that include no strategic value but due to political reasons must be given resources. Once they break through this typically triple defense in depth line, they’ll begin moving faster and faster with less and less losses while Russia’s defense becomes harder and harder and their nerves and morale fray more and more leading to more positions abandoned with little or no fight and soldiers often resigning themselves to death or surrender.

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.

  3572. “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York Magazine in 2002 for a story headlined “Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery.” “He’s a lot of fun to be with.

  3580. 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.”

  3582. There is no potential negotiated solution because Putin cannot afford to end the war. He CANNOT have a million furious, addicted, PTSD-ridden conscripts with weapons returning to Russia. It’s easy to understand why that would lead to his regime’s collapse.

  3586.  @French_Connection Well, 🇺🇦 hasn’t had any notable defeats or manpower losses in Nov.. So, not sure what you want since 🇺🇦 does not release figures. You can basically assume it ranges from dozens to a couple hundred on days where Ukraine infantry is involved in intense fighting. Russia will always have 2-25x more (depends on what type of battle) losses because Russia tries to use big numbers of poorly trained soldiers to attack heavily fortified positions with extremely simplistic tactics and often with little to no artillery support. The only time Ukraine will big manpower losses is when they’re attacking the Surovikin line or if Russia somehow manages to surprise and overwhelm Ukrainian defensive positions.

  3615. 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.

  3616. That self-doubt question showed a lack of F1 knowledge. Drivers like Alonso DON’T have self-doubt. In their minds, Alonso, Hamilton and Verstappen KNOW they are the best. And they also deliver. It’s why they’re famous super stars and 99.9% of the world aren’t.
    2
  3617.  @geckowizard  I first misread your comment as saying they’d be good and was going to go on a rant about how they might be the worst around. As a race car driver myself (obviously not a famous one), I can tell you that there are few sports where the star learns less applicable life lessons than a racing driver. Being selfish is rewarded. You don’t learn many great lessons about managing others. Basically, most athletes are not great sources for learning applicable life lessons besides talent + work ethic = really special results. And, ironically, work ethic is just like talent. It’s almost purely a result of genetics and something instilled in you before you’re old enough to be cognizant of the importance of developing good work / lifestyle practices.

  3631.  @davidhoffman6980  Nothing in his language, but his general attitude. I find this topic to be an interesting discussion nonetheless, but intolerable to listen to coming from “The Chieftain” (super humble name lol). But, hey, what do I know? Edit: What I think is that if you ever see TC in a video with other experts, he seems to be quite combative in that he likes to try to establish he knows more than them. And how I think this extends to this topic is that lots of normies and experts have showered praise on Ukraine. And without consulting him first! So, he feels the need to ensure this view is approved or disabused by him.

According to Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey’s office, the former owner of F&R Auto Sales, Francis Correiro, has agreed to pay $450,000 in restitution and penalties. Healey said they began investigating after receiving more than 100 individual complaints about deceptive auto sales and practices by F&R Auto, including the routine sale of defective vehicles and the failure to provide transactional documents, such as titles and inspection reports.

They had this bizarre mental disassociation in which they had bought into the nonsense they were feeding the chain even though they were constantly exposed to information that went contrary to the kool-aid.

  3666. Few Westerners claiming “Russia was provoked” genuinely believe it.

More importantly, you could achieve more for 100x less money than what you’d achieve w/the big guns of the Missouri. Hell, Ukraine has destroyed Russia’s entire Black Sea fleet with nothing but jet ski powered drones. Don’t get me wrong. You could still achieve a lot with a ship like the USS Missouri even without a refit, but the $ per result would be absurd. I’d still love to see one in the Navy just for the sheer glory of being able to see the beautiful beast in real life.

Also, don’t ask questions every interviewer asks everyone like “When will the war end?” A soldier, even a commander, even a president, has no idea. There are too many factors to give a good or new answer to this. Focus on things the person specializes in. In this case, I would have asked a lot more technical / tactical questions of this man.

(Seasonal fruit in Oslo in February is a challenge…) -The hotel bar at their hotel should extend its hours “extra late” and the minibars must stock Coke products. -The IOC president shall be welcomed ceremoniously on the runway when he arrives. -The IOC members should have separate entrances and exits to and from the airport. -During the opening and closing ceremonies a fully stocked bar shall be available. During competition days, wine and beer will do at the stadium lounge. -IOC members shall be greeted with a smile when arriving at their hotel. -Meeting rooms shall be kept at exactly 20 degrees Celsius at all times. -The hot food offered in the lounges at venues should be replaced at regular intervals, as IOC members might “risk” having to eat several meals at the same lounge during the Olympics. -“All furniture should be OL-shaped and have Olympic Appearance.“

  3695.  @4Before4  100% agreed on this part. The fragility of the Gulf kingdoms and a temporary, catastrophic rise in oil prices. The US should be arming the Iranian protestors. 90% of Iranians don’t want nukes and are Western in culture. Oil supply and nuclear program problem solved. Or, and it’s the least PC thing to ever say, but I’d like to see SA just made the 51st state. Their population is utterly tiny and hates the regime. Give Mecca and Medina to a bordering state so that the US isn’t literally in possession of Islam’s most holy sites.

  3698. Zero surprise Russia can only exert force by air w/a 70% conscript army, especially when u consider its army’s design: Conscripted Soldiers (Serve 1 Year) -paid less than $25 a month (much less since ruble collapse) -receive 3-4 months of basic training -serve for only a year, during which they are often victimized by their own officers, who often violently haze young recruits -Many receive MREs that expired years ago and insufficient ammunition Contracted Soldiers (3-Year Service) -Paid $1,100 per month -Receive roughly 3x more training -enjoy many opportunities for corruption including siphoning off conscript pay -Are given better equipment Russian Supply Lines Were Designed to Fail: The corrosive effects of the divide between conscript and contract soldier are multiplied by the army’s design, especially in Logistics & Transportations (the most important aspect of armed conflict without doubt). The most critical logistics units (fuel, ammo & food shipments) are heavily staffed by poorly trained conscripts. Incompetency and low morale in these critical units has a snowball effect, crippling front-line units. Most of the tanks, AVs, etc. destroyed were already abandoned after both or either getting lost and running out of fuel. The reason six Russian generals have already died is because they are finding it necessary to fight on or at least be near the front lines to threaten punishment to get their men to do anything. Meanwhile, Ukrainians are used to fighting and will defend their homes until death.”

  3733. Though Erdogan has been bad and it’s distasteful to say it out loud or admit, Turkey has been critical for the west in keeping back hordes of Middle Eastern migrants from Europe, keeping an open channel to countries and politicians the West deems too awful to have official diplomatic contact with and as mediator who can be accused of being a Western puppet by the West’s enemies or being an enabler of its enemies by the West. They’ve maintained a pretty good balance of virtue without letting pie in the sky idealism often seen in Europe leading to foolish policy decisions. Not a fan of Erdogan, but modern Turkey should be a model for other Islamic majority countries. It doesn’t let religion get in the way of secular competence or rely on religious dog whistles to unite the country or use religion to make excuses for mistakes. Jews and Christians are assimilated and incorporated into the power structure. They typically deal with an even hand with both the West and East. It strikes an ideal balance between domestic and foreign arms reliance. And so on.

  3793. I think F1 is a terrible use of resources for any automaker. No one is making car purchases based on F1 and there are much cheaper ways to keep up awareness of the brand and new models. The fickle nature or manufacturers is also why I’ve always thought the sport should never be dependent on them. This was especially true before the budget cap when they would come in, send the budgets needed to be competitive skyrocketing and then just pull the plug leaving a hugely expensive hole to fill.

  3794. Russia is so fucked in every way. Their army is totally spent with no ability to go on the offensive and they will shatter as soon as they launch their counter offensive. Their economy is in equally bad shape. Reports that their economy has been resilient in the face of sanctions is based on the IMF accepting Russian economic claims despite the fact they stopped providing all the requisite documentation in Q2 of 2022. Their “allies” provide no support while getting energy at a price that actually loses Russia $. Putin has an election coming up in 2024 and while of course it will be rigged, he can only take it so far without triggering unrest.

  3802. If anyone’s irrational, it’s the West for questioning why Putin thought he thought he could do this despite the fact it did nothing in 2008 (Georgia), 2013 (the redline) and 2014 (Russia was hardly even sanctioned). Why would he expect us to get serious now? Putin is not irrational, he simply has zero conscious. Luckily, he doesn’t want to die or his legacy to be the end of Russia. But he’ll keep saber rattling as it’s been highly effective. Look at how weak Western aid has been and all the hand wringing about if it’s too much.

  3808. Covert Cabal and you both need to do research. There were no organic “protests.” The protests began purely as an FSB operation at first small ones led mostly by actual agents (and a tiny handful of extremists working for them) they hoped would catch on, but in the end they needed to start paying for groups of hundreds to go out and protest, which resulted in counter protests pretending to be Yanukovych supporters, which theme did lead to real supporters coming out. Finally, it spiraled into the Maidan which was soon followed by little green men. There’s so much more to the story, but that’s the shortest TLDR possible.

  3845. Yup. The uploaded doesn’t get it either. You’ve misunderstood why Ukraine and Georgia are so important to the Kremlin. It is for Putin because they don’t want a successful democracy to undermine their own regime. If Russians see you can have both freedom and prosperity then they’ll wonder what the need for Putin is. If they were so worried about NATO, they wouldn’t have stripped their entire border next to Finland of troops, air defense, etc. It’s also inaccurate to say “It’s an extremely important piece of territory that both want to keep in its sphere of influence.” It is for Russia, but if it were so important to the West they would have armed Ukraine BEFORE the war and not after. They would have also made it a priority in trade.

  3848.  @MakeAllThingsBeautiful  Fascinating, but like you said, another futile war that leaves the entire world poorer with so many people and so much treasure, infrastructure, etc. utterly wasted. The best outcome for Putin right now is that he won’t lose control of power. No matter what, Russia will be dramatically poorer, isolated and set back for a generation. As for Ukraine, at least there is a silver lining: this war has seemed to unify the country and galvanized it to reform and regenerate. The war has demonstrated a spirit of ingenuity and dynamism that bodes well for the future. After the war, it will undoubtedly grow quickly and attract investment, which is exactly what Putin feared. He didn’t want a glowing example of what Russia could be like without him.

They can’t produce enough to replace their losses. They’ve had to literally increase signing bonuses by 15,000% percent from the start of the war. Nothing they’re doing is sustainable. If Russia was just staying on the defensive in Ukraine they’d be playing the long game. But they’re wasting thousands of men and vehicles relentlessly attacking in exchange for tiny gains.

It’s not just the dud rate of 40+ %, due to uneven levels of cordite (propellant) in each shell: a) they often explode destroying the artillery piece and kill or injure Russians b) damage and/or increase wear rate on barrels injure and c) with uneven propellant you can’t predict how far they’ll fly making them mostly worthless.

They wouldn’t even allow injured Ukrainian civilians to be treated there because somehow that would violate their neutrality. Yet, they continue to launder Russian money, get rich off money from other war zones (not just Nazi loot) and sell shells for other confrontations. They’re not worried about neutrality. Just themselves and business.

  3895. The ones who do the work AND document it are considered vital to their brothers in arms or brothers in service because they typically bring in so much money as well as awareness. So this “idiots with selfie sticks” is a dumb, reductionist argument. The people there just for self-aggrandizement quickly get ostracized and ejected by the Ukrainians. As many have said, the Ukrainians are very wary of what foreigners are there for and until they prove themselves, they are kept at arms length.

So, purely from a rhetorical POV, it was never going to be a speech to compare with Lincoln, Churchill, MLK, JFK, etc. I think he wisely struck to a moderate. I think he missed some opportunities in his speech and during his stay, I think he made a couple minor optics mistakes. But, yeah, overall he did a really good job.

  3911.    Some families will go broke from spoiled children who can’t even manage their money, but the truly wealthy have too much money for their children to ever truly lose it all. You’re right, if someone is from a trailer park and had a lot of capital, they might not be able to use it. However, most people with vast wealth have their children well educated and it does not take hard work from there to keep expanding your wealth. You are right that the initial generator of that wealth is an exceptional person who deserves massive wealth because they’ve built a new business that has created new jobs and new wealth for many people. That’s why I pointed out here or in another comment thread nearby that it is new businesses that created 90% of new jobs. I believe it’s after businesses just five years and older account for only a tiny fraction of new jobs. Sure, there are a few companies that keeping adding thousands of jobs for a decade or more, but then then usually contract and begin going the opposite way. It’s the people who get to already establish money making machines and somehow the board thinks they need to pay them hundreds of millions to manage the company. At that level, you’re lore of an administrator than anything. The idea of the visionary CEO revitalizing a huge company with great ideas is a joke. It’s usually just restructuring and allowing existing employees to execute great ideas. That’s how badly run these companies can quickly get after the founder dies, retires or sells. The buyers/shareholders coast off existing momentum to make huge amounts until the company’s momentum runs out due to competitors catching up, the incompetency of management and lack of investment or over investment on stupid things.

  3914. The Russians are so disgusting. From tagging houses to indicate there are young women there to assault to sending bloody sledge hammers to the EU, they’re utter filth. Verified sexual assaults have been committed against females ranging from 4 to 80 years old. If it wasn’t clear that they only wanted foreigners w/a special forces background, I’d be there in a second. I find sexual assault to be a crime even more heinous than murder. It seems like anybody willing to brave the cold and misery would be useful on the Belarusian border just in case to free up soldiers for the hot areas.

  3918.  @jmjones7897  Love Japan, loved living there and can’t wait to move back, but you must have gotten your views on their level of advancement from 80s Hollywood movies, Japanese robotic convention videos and/or popular cultural perceptions about Japan if you think they’re the most technologically advanced country in the world. They actually have a very odd low tech-high tech hybrid thing going on. For example, it’s the only country in the world where every business small or large, hole in the wall restaurant, etc. still uses fax machines. It’s still a highly paper dependent country in many ways. The fact that every day your average person is pumping out a fax and then pumping one out on a toilet with advanced technology, is a microcosm of Japan’s tech landscape: a patchwork. Very advanced in certain areas and very low tech in others. It’s one reason I love Japan so much. They have their own way of doing things and they are very resistant to the homogenizing influence of globalization.

If you’re talking about 2022 as motivated by the energy/economic concerns, I find the argument possible but not probable. I wouldn’t it’s impossible because if the war had really lasted three days with minor blood shed, Germany would have found an excuse to keep using their cheap gas and minimize sanctions to the point of irrelevance.

  3930. Wow, two leaders (JDP vs LDP) who were equally dangerous for exactly opposite reasons. Anyway, if you look into the economic stagnation, it has nothing to do with how the LDP developed democracy. Instead, it all the result of the IMF/US + Japanese Central Bank.

  3947.  @marcel84marcel  If you think we’ve given them close to “a lot” let alone “everything” you’re either ignorant as to what has been given or disingenuous. You probably saw absurd $ values assigned to our aid and thought that was what we were actually giving or its equivalent $ value in arms. Even had it been a true representation, it’s a tiny rounding error in terms of our defense budget let alone our national budget. You’re also not accounting for the fact that giving stuff was retired or retiring saves us hundreds-of-millions on scrapping costs (you can’t throw cluster bombs, rockets or mines in a garbage can) + cost of storage until there is capacity for its scrapping. You’re also not aware that due to the performance of just our old weaponry has lead to hundreds-of-billions in foreign arms orders, thousands of new jobs and subsidizes the expansion of our industrial base. Finally, not aiding Ukraine, could cost trillions over the next decade.

  3956. The Russian fleet that was destroyed wasn’t just the worst ever seen. It was a comedy riot. Listen to Drachinfel’s episode on story. The poor admiral put in charge hated so many of the incompetent captains in his fleet, he literally tried to lose many of them. On more than one occasion the fleet spotted fishing fleets, panicked and began firing on the fishermen and succeeded only in missing them by sometimes thousands of yards.

  3957. Scholz and his party were owned by Russian energy interests and they’ve always looked down on the Baltic countries. They’ve only slowly begun to realize NO ONE will accept them resuming business w/🇷🇺 after the war and that’s why they’ve slowly begun to provide weapons.

  3958.  @darthwiizius  I am aware of their anti-nuclear history. It extends even further back than Chernobyl and Fukushima.

  3995. OK, semi driver could have easily avoided, but why did he leave the truck in the middle of the highway? Answered my own question: If you’re wondering why the woman didn’t move her truck to the side of the road when she realized there was a fault, rather than let it come to a stop in the center lane, so were we. But the StarTribune news website reveals that the woman’s truck had hit a deer on the freeway, setting off the airbags which blocked her view and made the the car immobile once it had come to a stop.

  3999. lol, the best part is they used a tiny fraction of their manpower and their least elite soldiers and equipment to break back the back of Russia’s attempt to take one city about 1/4 the size of Mobile, Alabama. They were never in any danger of anything except failing to keep Russia making a horrible mistake. However, the Ukrainians who did that for the country suffered through hell or worse to achieve that…but the Russians suffered way more. 😀

  4002.  @martstam2016  You’re right that they were primarily used as missile platforms to strike land based targets and just as importantly close the grain corridor. VP wishes he never backed out of that. You’re also right that we shouldn’t treat them as utterly incompetent because in some areas they are good and because they still have a massive advantage in men, production capacity and 90% of system types. And an attritional war in which the West continues to transfer tiny volumes of military aid massively favors Russia. Luckily, all it takes to turn things around is the US getting past the GOP roadblock and Europe taking this seriously which it finally looks like it’s starting to. Actually enforcing export bans would REALLY help too. I wonder why countries in the Caucuses are importing thousands of times more high tech tools, aerospace parts, etc. since the sanctions went into place. They couldn’t be acting as middle men could they?!?! 🤦‍♂️

Sad thing is that we’ve had a US president who has created a whole new generation of people who think it’s manly to act like a violent five year old. Just like the woke movement has created delusional morons and bullies, the whole cultural thing on the right is creating trash too.

Energy crunches driving economic contraction, domestic turmoil and nothing but bad options. It would be far more convenient for this war not to be happening? So, tell us again how that quote could be applied to the US and Ukraine?

  4033. The main problem, beyond the fact that we’ve lost millions of skilled manufacturing jobs, is that the average employee hasn’t had a wage increase since the 1970s when adjusted for inflation. The problem is the new focus solely on shareholder profits and totally unjustified executive salaries. It’s simply unconscionable. And despite the profits they’re making, they’re still getting corporate welfare from the government AND depending on the government to provide social welfare nets to their employees because they’re paying them below a living wage.

  4048. You literally cannot understand the world without understanding history. If the US did, it would never have invested a dollar in trying to create a functional Iraqi government. The islamic sectarian violence and fundamentalists in the ME - which eventually incited “global war on terrorism” 🙄 - has roots that are literally 4,500+ years old. Assyrian campaigns of conquer and its collapse multiple-millennia later, created a large scale tribal feud across the levant, which simply acquired new names as time passed. Before they adopted Islam, the same people who would later become sunni and shia already hated each other.

Whether they’ll find the nerve to do something is another matter. And among the people, not that it matters as much, he is also increasingly unpopular. Above all, the country is headed toward unavoidable economic downturns which will be dangerous to his rule.

A generalization. But there’s a whole range.

    2
  4124. It’s a huge task if they’re continued to be given resources piece meal and extremely late. They could expel Russia fully in less than six months if they were just give 50 more HIMARS (the US has more than 2,000 while Ukraine has 38), more shells, 1,000 ATACMS and about 10 more air defense of the PATRIOT, NASMS and IRIS-T caliber. That’s not even a big ask.
    2
  4125. A bit of intel on the Bahkmut situation: The day Russian troops withdrew to the right bank of the Dnieper, the Alliance countries announced 660m in new funds + missions to train or improve the skills of 55k Ukrainians during the winter and spring period. And AFU command decided a long-awaited turning point had finally been reached and began the process of withdrawing units from the line of contact. Some of the units were assigned to the rotation and an even larger mass of personnel was withdrawn to Europe to participate in training programs of coordination and formation of new brigades, which were organized by the countries of the NATO bloc. The number is not certain, but it exceeds 10,000 soldiers. This, however, now appears to be a mistake. The AFU command seems to have miscalculated the loss of combat effectiveness of Russian units, the ability to accumulate reserves and concentrate them near the front line, especially considering most of the Kherson forces had never fought. Deprived of a significant part of its reserves and ignoring the growing pressure on Bakhmut to the extent that, since the summer, no network of fortifications has been built around the city itself, which is standard practice for the AFU under normal circumstances, they’re now truly threatened by Russia there.

  4126.  @malcolmgibson5088  I am not predicting Russia will take it and I pray they don’t.

  4138. There’s not much Russia can do to widen the war besides chemical weapons. Further mobilization is not widening the war. And, obviously, widen it to include any NATO countries is instant suicide. RE: Wallace. Yes, he’s been masterful. The SPD is and has been in bed, quite literally in many cases, with Russia’s ruling elite and energy industry for decades. Worse, they agree with them in terms of cultural values. Luckily, the rest of Germany is not. But the SPD has the chancellory.

  4141. In the early 2000s, many of these cuneiforms were being sold for literally $5 on eBay when Iraq’s state broke down and illegal excavations were looting artifacts and museums were being looted. In the legitimate market these things go for tens of thousands. I wish I had been aware at the time. I would have bought as many as possible and given them to museums.

  4142. Not sure why the Scotland Yard investigators would accept the tea when they were investigating a man who was murdered using poisoned tea.

  4157.  @bertjilk3456  We’re sending a lot more, but it will take time to build. I’d agree on a big increase if the Russians were dug in, but they’re collapsing on all fronts by as much as 30km per day. At this rate, they’ll be back over their borders by the end of October. And their rate of collapse is only going to increase because a) they were collapsing from actual fortified positions and cities and now they’re in open territory with nowhere to establish new lines of defense, b) 90% of their professional soldiers are dead or wounded and the mobiks arriving will only make them collapse more quickly as their fear, panic and uselessness will only make add to the chaos and sense of hopelessness, c) they literally lost 44 tanks yesterday and 6 jets over the past 4 days, d) a sense of doom is pervading even state media now and combined with the panic on the ground, it will just accelerate their collapse even more, e) they’ve got no winter clothing or even sufficient food and water. And on and on. Without nukes, this war is maybe just a few weeks from being over.

  4162. The WH has been disappointing in its support, but the price cap has been very successful. For more than a year Russia has had to sell oil at a loss or at best marginal profits while significantly lowering oil prices for most of that time. Oil prices are not rising due to the strikes, but a bit due to news driven trading and mostly due to OPEC strategic efforts to increase oil prices.

The US is not a signatory to the CCM though. It’s actually the standard one that Ukraine has been using, which is much more controversial for leaving unexploded ordinance.

  4178.  @williamzk9083  Agreed. It’s why Ukraine has trained just an enormous army of sappers. They’re literally going day and night training them. It’s quite astounding.

  4179. Germany 🇩🇪 has provided Ukraine $18b in military aid. Meanwhile, France 🇫🇷 has given $580m in aid, which is 3x less than Estonian whose economy is 67x smaller. 🇪🇸 = just $340m.

  4185. The US needs to stop getting in the way of Sweden giving Gripens. Nothing the US will allow to be given will make anything close to the difference the Gripen would be, especially due to their ease of use, including simplicity of routine service, ability to land just about anywhere, maintenance, etc. It also has amazing ordnance options, especially the METEOR. Due to fears of a conflict with China, the US won’t allow any newer, long range missile to fall in the hands of Russia for fear China will get a hold of the tech which would make it much easier for them to defend against those missiles in the event of a war.

She was the CEO of their PR company. It cost them a lot of profit. So, unlikely they would have ever done it own their own. However, the dolphin safe tuna tag also generated a lot of extra business and good publicity (duh).

  4194. Simon is just the narrator. It’s literally 4-5x higher. 30,000+ prisoners alone died in the Bakhmut fight. Russia’s poorest You basically need to be following this war on a daily basis to understand how and why and how many Russian deaths have been hidden. Russia is also refusing to accept dead bodies 🇺🇦 has in refrigerated train cars. They’ve also ordered for the dead not to be collected in certain areas (they don’t want to pay death bonuses or let the real numbers be known in Russia). The methodology is highly flawed for estimating cases considering many of those in the poorest areas don’t file formal inheritance cases to begin with.

  4200. Exactly. The presenter is clueless and seems to know nothing about carriers. A nuclear engine is required for electromagnetic catapults as it takes 1m watts per airplane launch (enough to power an entire town). The Fujian’s engineer even said so, but Xi said he wanted it anyway.

  4202.  @laars0001  I meant to imply that the very real possibility he was saying those things for domestic political reasons is an example that we shouldn’t expect Russians who are actually looking to get into office to have viewpoints we love. Navalny was sainted by the press after his death, but even he was far from some shining ideal. But he was an actual politician and not like a dreamer with no chance. So, I don’t blame him for adjusting to the reality of the Russian public. It does no good if someone publicly states all the perfect views, but has no support in Russia and therefore can’t make any changes.

It’s why their cars from 1970 through 2002 were great (cars have long lead times and processes + values/culture doesn’t disappear over night...that’s why even when it got big and corporate, it took until about 2003 before their new cars started to really suck).

And most of the arms given were literally being scrapped at a cost of more than $1b (e.g., DPICM & HMMWVs) and is cheaper to send them to 🇺🇦 and others are retired or soon to be retired (M113s, MRAPS, M60-based engineering vehicles, expired ATACMS, HAWK, Avenger, etc.).

  4230. Economic bubbles based pretty much on nothing are still a pretty big fad.

  4231. Traders have their place. Shorting Chinese commodities and securities was critical in exposing the fraudulent nature of what they were selling. However, when you have spastic movements in the energy market with oil going from $70 a barrel to negative $ (that the trading platforms couldn’t handle) within a few months something is not right.
    2
  4232. I should also add, it is not just commodity traders themselves that are the problem. The entire market system is filled with comically corrupt cogs like the bond rating agencies. The “We’re so critical to every thing” and “you just couldn’t possibly understand the system” is the excuse almost all of your ilk use. It wasn’t until the ‘80s that exotic financial instruments began being used and it’s only led to one bubble after another and huge wealth gaps. And if you’re going to try to point to growth since then. Well, duh there’s been huge growth, but that’s down to population growth paired with massive technological advances and resultant efficiencies + products with actual value.

  4238. Anti-Israeli propaganda had been ramping on Russian state TV in the run up to the incident, but the pogrom was an unintended consequence for the Kremlin. All war long 🇷🇺’s propaganda has been pushing citizens to become furious over a different traitor, a different Western country or institution, etc. The Jews were just supposed to be another enemy of the week. But they’re weren’t expecting viewers to do anything about it. That’s because the Kremlin is living a parallel existence where life has gone on as normal w/no friends or family lost. Yet Dagestan has lost so many sons to the war, they’re an open nerve: exhausted, scared and enraged and looking to vent. When they’re told who the enemy is, that was a release valve the Kremlin didn’t think about. Yet the masterminds are so detached they just think “what’s wrongwith you? The jews are only the enemy of the week!” This is not surprising as paradoxically, Russian leaders always assume their TV propaganda will work yet, at the same time, are constantly shocked by how easily the people are brainwashed by the TV. No doubt, this time they were thinking: “Hey, we’re at war to stop the Nazis, remember?”

  4244. You don’t need an expert to answer the question “Will Putin surrender?” It’s an absurd question to even pose. Great stuff otherwise. I agree that this is war will likely end with Ukraine being partly betrayed (and like your guest hope I am proven wrong). Germany and especially the SPD would love to stab Ukraine in the back. The French wouldn’t make a peep about that either. They’ve been allowed to convince themselves that they and Russia are partners in a EurAsian leadership coalition that balances out the US. He is wrong about Russian being able to fully mobilize. It doesn’t have the industrial base to do so and have relied almost solely on Russia’s Soviet arms inheritance. They simply cannot replace their arms fast enough to rearm their existing army for more than another year let alone mobilize and arm 500k men. Unless you consider an AK-47 with two magazines as equipping.
    2
  4245.  @mrdune5479  Yes, it’s a big if, but remember it is being made feasible by: a) Ukraine crippling Russia’s lines of communications (you can’t defend if you don’t have munitions), b) almost zero defense in depth across the river, c) Russia won’t have the luxury of just sitting back and taking non-stop artillery shots as HIMARS outranges ALL Russian artillery + Ukraine will have GLSDB by Oct., which is going to be as nearly as big of a game changer as when Ukraine first got HIMAR and d) Russian troops in Kherson are purely mobiks in many areas, which is why Russia is trying to now rotate in experienced soldiers and rotation is a huge vulnerability itself and it will just weaken the Zaporizhzhia and Bakhmut fronts anyway. I think the beginning of the Thunder Run to the Crimean border will start in the fall.

They’ve already finished the expanded runways, control towers, etc. Next comes the part everyone will notice. The terminals.

  4247.  @JoJo-vm8vk a) agincourt didn’t even have a calvary charge. b) You didn’t understand my post at all. I know French heavy calvary was a fearsome weapon. However, French knights were always so hungry for glory and combat, that they suffered countless disasters due to attacking without doing any proper scouting or charging into the enemy despite being warned it was the wrong thing to do.

  4248.  @StephenKarl_Integral  I did not think you meant it was the worst. Was just trying to point out another really fascinating yet horrible story. I am not a believe in the supernatural, but look Bedtime Stories’ video about this. All these workers were buried alive and many got stuck in wet concrete trying to rescue them and because the government was in such a rush to finish the job. They just had the guys who got stuck in the concrete killed instead of taking the a day or so to free them from the concrete let alone recovering the dead bodies. So, there are dozens or hundreds of dead construction workers entombed in the building and almost everyone who has been there says the energy in the building is eerie and frightening.

As someone who races (touring and some formula), the rudder system immediately fit perfectly into my underpowered brain as it controls yaw, which is essentially like throttle steering except using wind resistance rather than power and counter steering.

I’m sure if it happened to your sister, mother, daughter, etc. who you had been missing for decades and you had been searching tirelessly for and found out that an American SERVICE member (note the service and oaths they take) had seen her and could’ve saved her, but was more worried about a black mark in their folder than SAVING someone’s life, I’m sure you’d be like he did the right thing.

  4258.  @ashleydolin4292 lol, “emotional wrecks” because they find someone’s behavioral cowardly. Clearly you’re projecting your own insecurities, which likely included running away when you could have helped someone and crying like a baby.

  4262.  @jackalopewright5343  They recondition 125 tanks per month. They don’t produce 125 new tanks. Also, please direct me toward proof that 16 have been destroyed or captured. A source, like Oryx, which shows actually proof.

  4266.  @budabk  Check out Reporting from Ukraine. 90% of the action he details are not covered in CVR at all. I will cut him some slack in that RfU seems to have some inside sources or being able to speak Russian and Ukrainian he simply is aware of soldiers and mil bloggers with much more detailed and up to date info. Still, I think he should be at least summarizing what guys like that find out every third day.

  4270. I don’t think people saying “it would just make more sense to design a new plane if they have to do x, y and z” have a grasp on the immensity of manufacturing a brand new model. Designing a new plane is the easy part. Just the lining up the contractors to manufacture all the parts not done in house aspect of the manufacturing process alone is a more difficult task.

  4277. With the new house speaker + Slovakia’s new leader adding a 2nd opposition in the EU w/most of the non-Baltic EU countries already seeming to want any excuse not to provide anything, I am feeling we’re really edging to a precarious point politically. If Biden can get a funding bill through things should be fine. If not, beyond the US providing more than the entire EU combined, it will be disastrous as the EU will likely use it as an excuse to pull back.

  4278. It’s fun. Not troubling. Besides, you’ve got Kimi Raikkonen.

  4279. Ukraine isn’t dumb. They won’t waste MBTs by deploying them without large numbers of dismount and support from IFVs, mobile SAMs (avengers), screening vehicles like the AMX-RC 10, etc. And they’ll use bounding techniques with the M2s to ensure none of the MBTs get exposed to enemy dismounts.

  4280. I’d love a Silicon Curtain led fundraiser. I have a feeling we (this channel) have an extremely well educated and likely well heeled audience. I’ll throw in a $1,000 to help an under equipped unit. Until the MAGA blockade on 🇺🇸 aid + Western Euro govs like 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 and 🇮🇹 (which are giving literally half as much as tiny Lithuania) are shamed into stepping up, individuals like us need to step up.

  4294.  @sirrodneyffing1  Probably lies by the individual reviewer, but most is automated. My guess is that it’s less about politics and more about they want to get videos about politics gone all together. They want us just watching videos about video games, MCU movies and celebrities because sponsors will advertise on all of that. They’re much more hesitant to advertise on controversial topics.

  4295. Ukraine can’t put fortifications directly on the border. That’d be an irresponsible use of resources. So, let’s wait a few days before coming to conclusions about what happened.

  4304. No one united Ukraine. Ukraine united itself. It wasn’t perfectly united after Maidan, but it was after Feb. 24. That alone isn’t unique, but how long the unity is and how ultra participatory society is even more. It’s hard to tell where gov and civil volunteerism starts and ends. They’re working in amazing symbiosis.

  4316.  @DefinitelyWave  About energy, prices have zero to do with presidents. Why don't people understand OPEC and OPEC+ (OPEC+ is regular OPEC + Russian). When fuel prices fell below zero dollars a barrel in 2016 a ton, OPEC+ (American oil producers did too, but not in league with OPEC) all agreed to cut production massively. DC has been trying to get Saudi Arabia (the most important member) to increase production massively, but MBS has a ton of demands in order to it which including selling F-35s to the UAE, increased military protection from the US against the Houthis, special protection for Arab investments and investments financed in Russia, Biden to visit Saudi Arabia in person and declare support for the prince + others but those are biggest. When oil prices hit negative prices, our domestic oil producers in North Dakota and Texas basically quit and when prices started going back up they didn't return to producing as much and none of them were willing to invest in expanding their operations into tons of available oil fields that are already permitted for drilling because they have no confidence in future demand / prices.

  4317.  @emmajones8590  We found one of the Royals’ SM “influencers.” Hey, Emma, tell us about how he couldn’t sweat either and how those 50 different photos of him sweating through his shirt were photoshopped. Sad that Andrew is using the same tactics as the FSB.

  4318. Macron should first rally his own country. 🇫🇷 has barely sent aid. They’ve sent a third of the aid Estonia has and they’re blocking an initiative to buy non-EU shells. So, this threat is sadly a complete joke.

  4333. It’s not just the US with these type of power and laws either. The ECB is doing similarly shady stuff with absolute impunity.
    2
  4334. Yes, I know this. I have been telling everyone that capital flight from primarily China, but also Russia, the Middle East, Africa, etc., is responsible for 50-75% of the RE bubble. I have a tiny house 2 bedroom / 1 bathroom house in LA that is worth $2.3m! My mom’s house value in SB has gone from $2.5m to $4.7m in just 3 years. This during a time of pandemic. That is clearly based on no economic fundamentals. BTW, it is not just China’s economy that is a house of cards. It is almost every country.

  4337. There’s no controversy. Media outlets just publish a that to see if they can can get people arguing to get more clicks. Often, they’ll find like 5 people who tweeted some negative reaction and call that a controversy. There will always be someone on twitter claiming to be offended.

  4342. And 🇷🇺 is now losing armor at a rate that will seem them without enough to continue operations in 12 months at most instead of another 1.5-2 years. There’s also enough dissatisfaction in the army and paranoia on Putin’s part that he is trying to coup proof via purging the most senior generals, deputies, etc. from totally different factions and the economic situation is even worse. The only silver lining is that DT will likely win the presidency, but can they even last that long without some type of collapse. And it’s likely the US’ policy on where the UAF can use US arms will change based on immense domestic and international pressure stemming from this new offensive.

  4346.  @punker4Real I’m against ULEZ, but he didn’t make specific predictions like by x date the moon will be 10% bigger. He said climate change would lead to increased sea levels, more droughts, more extreme weather, etc. And it’s all come true.

  4347.  @punker4Real  Even if that’s true, which knowing your type I doubt, it would mean some of the world’s biggest cities would become uninhabitable. Miami is already almost there.
    2
  4348.  @VisithDantanarayana1993  What? Are you using “you” as the West or the US? If so, literally even Putin is not half as evil as their president. So, almost literally anyone would benefit the citizens more than the current status quo.

  4357. The man has fallen in love with his own mind. Thank god the Russians have secured their borders against the Mongols. It’s a joke to believe their “historical memory” is driving any of these actions. I know he qualifies all that by saying Russia is secure and a paranoid fear of hybrid warfare not targeted at him. But his framing, especially the order of discussion, risks giving justification to Russian narratives.

  4372. Jake doesn’t have the geopolitical chops to answer questions in that category. Or any awareness of history if he’s saying a Chechen uprising wouldn’t have an impact. Russia got their clocks cleaned during the Chechen war. Jake is good at curating headlines and good common sense answers to questions from casual observers of the war. Ben Hodges is great, but he’s mostly focused on doing a good of spreading the message on what Ukraine needs, why Russian can’t be trusted and why this war is so important. He’s not that in tune with every layer of the conflict.

  4374.  @richelieubestship1129  I don’t work for the DGSI, but I do work at a Consulting Firm inside a department that is kind of like a mini-RAND (admittedly with about 97% less portion marked files laying around), I haven’t seen any chatter about powerful new capabilities, from EW pods and battle apps to a dump of unannounced SMArt shells in the field originating in France. What undisclosed services and/or do you think France is providing that other NATO members aren’t? There are some states going way, way beyond what the world thinks let alone what OS stats show, but France isn’t one. For the record, I don’t hold it against France. Just its power brokers.
    2
  4375.  @longshanks7157  Actually, Europe is a leading arms manufacturer from jets and tanks to subs and small arms. And Poland has a ton of TOT/P (transfer of technology and production). They generally choose platforms whose owners will license production in Poland. Poland even produces PAC-3 missiles I believe. Poland also has a lot of domestically designed and produced systems as well, including self-propelled artillery, MANPADS and even its own advanced IFVs. Germany and France have especially huge arms manufacturing industries. They basically own the world’s export submarine market and account for most of Europe’s artillery, aircraft, tank, etc. inventory. Even Sweden produces its own jets, IFVs, artillery systems and more. The main problem is that they haven’t bought enough of their own damn products.

  4381.  @goldenphoenix4475  For bots saying 🇺🇦 is really just a part of Russia: There wouldn’t be any Russians there if passed Tsars, Queens and Stalin didn’t purposely genocide Ukranians and then force Russians to colonize Ukraine for the very purpose of having an excuse to lay claim there. KTG even banned the Ukranian language from being taught in their schools.

Yeah, when you’re guilty like Andrew, you really don’t want a jury deciding since people tend to frown about sleeping with one let alone dozens of underage girls (you can be sure that’s one of the things that would have arisen in a jury trial).

  4404.  @major__kong Of course, 🇷🇺 can send tens-of-thousands of serfs to their deaths w/out mutiny. However, just like Bakhmut, a small win will come at a much bigger loss. Ukraine isn’t intentionally allowing it to be given up. More likely their control of the Terrikon is getting shaky because they didn’t anticipate Russia would be willing sacrifice 25% of their entire army to capture one small, but powerful defensive fortification. Because, like I said, it’s one thing to capture something with heavy losses and another to capture it with astronomical losses.

  4421.  @cannowuppass8214  As a coward who may or not be a USAF veteran, NGAF. Besides, if you paid attention, we’re actually spend little money. At least 60% of the stuff we’re sending was already paid for decades ago and is being decommissioned, ALREADY decommissioned, we were PAYING to destroy MRAPS, HHMWs are sold as scrap in the US, Avengers = decommissioned, GLSDBs are made from rocket motors we were throwing away and on and on. And all this stuff was MADE specifically to kill Soviet equipment. Furthermore, aiding Ukraine was required, unless we wanted the whole world economy to collapse when China attacked Taiwan. It’s frustrating people like you don’t actually educate yourself on these topics and just swallow anything that comes out of Tucker’s mouth. By December of 2022, we had degraded or eliminated more than 50% of Russia’s military capability for the price of 3 F35s and zero dead soldiers. That’s the best ROI in our history.

  4422.  @cannowuppass8214  Another post that shows you’re either trolling or woefully misinformed. Also sounds like you’re thinking of the Afghan National Army. Ukraine had more volunteers to join the army than they could handle from their own population and, besides, men between the ages of 18-60 aren’t even allowed to leave the country. So, tell me again how we’re fighting for them?

It’s amazing Time let a man openly hostile to Ukraine author this story. Finally, his anonymous “sources” included Arestovych whose ambition is to become president. A guy now living in Europe after becoming unpopular when he argued Ukraine should not do away with a Russian centric culture and blamed an AD mssile for civilian deaths after it hit a Russian missile that then fell to the ground in a residential area.

  4435. One added note, Russian air power is primarily used for launching long range missiles at Ukraine, which has little effect on the counter offensive EXCEPT for forcing 🇺🇦 to keep more SAM systems around their cities that could be otherwise used near the front.

  4436. Take comfort in the fact that Putin’s power structure and control is collapsing and being washed away just like the flood plains in Ukraine, BUT the flood will recede within 5-10 days while the chaos rises ever higher in Russia. Sadly, this won’t help the millions of animals that will die as a result of Russia’s destruction of the dam.

  4447.  @RogerMentol If you’re talking about an instructing aircraft, I disagree. It’s clear its use is to make a student’s progression extra comfortable. So, this is just used for getting the students comfortable with the most basic fundamentals so that when they step into a more complicated aircraft, the learning curve is a lot more forgiving. Yeah,though, if a student actually got earned a PPL with JUST this aircraft and then got their own, non-electric plane, I’d be terrified to fly with them.

You know how much letting China think they can just take Taiwan would hurt our economy? If you can’t understand that, I can’t help you. Our aid so far is 5% of our annual defense budget and .00005 of our GDP. Coming from a little tiny economy, you just cannot fathom that the aid given is just a Tuesday in America.

  4463.  @drhelmut3467  From the buyer’s perspective, the American option was much better. Nuclear subs have unlimited range and are much quieter. The only thing that rubbed me wrong about the whole thing was that France turned over American traitors to us who tried to sell our nuclear submarine designs to France. I would have liked to see the US buy or contract France to a major military project to essentially compensate them for some of the lost deal.

  4464. What will determine how the rest of the war goes will be who can win the contest to dominate the mid-altitude sky. MANPADS prevent RAF flying low altitude sorties, their S-300 and other new SAMs prevent high altitude if they can maintain enough cruise missiles. But Ukraine need more mid altitude AA SAMs and self-propelled anti-air guns. The second most important thing is getting the AFU more tanks and APCs. Third is more jets. Ukraine’s Air Force is very, very small now after losing a number of planes and sheer airframe stress.

  4465.  @Some_Really_Random_Dude. They’ve already badly crippled their country horribly in the long term. There are a thousand reasons, but let’s just start with them losing the majority of their energy revenue, losing hundreds-of-thousands of working age males and many millions of future citizens who will no longer be born in a country that is already demographically crippled and imagine what they’d need to spend to replace even a third of what they’ve lost in the war so far.

She's relieved at the end to say their models are gravitating toward a "more sleek European look," but fails to ever mention that the crazy anorexic ideal is actually as unhealthy and more unnatural than an obsession with curves. Humans have evolved to consider larger breasts and butts with fertility. As a man, I'll bang the skinny and the curvy, but prefer the curvy. Not that that has any bearing here. It's also ironic she felt concerned for girl's self-esteem there and then fretted that she looked ugly when obviously she's not.

Or even worse and just as common, are they literally not only copying the design, but actually using the manufacturing equipment another company paid to develop and build and setup in a factory in China and using it to make a carbon copy they can sell for much less having not had to pay for the development, the manufacturing equipment, etc. We’ve literally lost trillions of dollars in IP and knockoffs produced with the developers’ factory or a factory that copied the required tooling to make the stolen designs.

  4493.  @Pacifissimus  Or thx from 🇷🇺. First: Merkel let them in because she wanted cheap labor. That was 🇩🇪’s fault. Second: It was 🇩🇪 who pushed to basically not sanction 🇷🇺 for Crimea, which encouraged them to think this war would have zero consequences and 🇩🇪 laughed at warnings that being solely dependent on Russia for energy was dangerous yet were happy to become the world’s second most profitable economy by using all that cheap energy while at the same time spending absolutely nothing on defense. Fourth: Had Germany taken the war seriously from the start much of this could have been prevented Five: Don’t complain about the EU. It’s had tons of economic benefits and Germany was one of its main supporters. Five: Poland has way more refugees and while overall, I am sure it costs money, many Ukrainians have taxable skills and won’t be there permanently. Finally, do you have any idea how much the US spent on propping up the Duetsch Mark for decades, rebuilding Germany, the Berlin airlift, etc. Germany’s aid is still a relatively small part of its GDP and nothing at all compared to the hundreds of billions you’ve saved over the last few decades by not putting anything into your military. Europe oversll hasn’t even reached .2% of GDP in support.

  4507. Reports are quite a few. There are zero reports anywhere of numbers. However, we know they’ve had to pull many back to Crimea to protect them and they now illuminate their SAM radars for only tiny amounts of time because they’ve become so vulnerable. In fact, lately, they’re primarily using them as ground-to-ground offensive weapons, which they’re not at all designed for and makes them incredibly useless for anything besides terrorizing civilians. Their compromised SAM network has contributed to them not only having never achieved air superiority to now allowing Ukraine to sometimes even fly CAS and anti-radiation sorties regularly. So, the most VIP point is not how many they’ve lost, but how they’ve not been able to use them for protection.

Upgrades began in limited numbers in 2017 and I am guessing these are tanks the US feels they need for themselves (personally, I doubt we’ll ever need tanks in large numbers again).

And the Ukrainians don’t shove barbed wire up the you know whats of their prisoners.

  4567. Not at all. It’s just that the world’s tolerance level for danger has become so low. Cause this topic has come up in so many places I’ve just saved and combined responses to a bunch of a reactions I’ve seen. [they should ban wet racing at Spa] I’d say that’s up to the drivers to decide. Besides, there hasn’t been a single death at Spa in the modern F1 era. Should we arrest people for free climbing or ban the Isle of Man TT? [F1 wouldn’t have raced in those conditions] That’s not saying much. Since 2019 and especially under Wittich, the tiniest new variable can and usually does trigger an SC. I don’t see any reason why there shouldn’t be races if the tires can clear enough water to avoid hydroplaning. F1 has lost its way by letting people who have never raced before turn it into the most neutered series. It used to represent the pinnacle of not just tech and drivers, but driving in varying conditions. We race in full wet conditions in both SCCA and my vintage racing series without Techpro barriers, kevlar survival cells and medical helicopters. One of the reasons we race is because of the danger. Not for the danger, but knowing the fact that racing well involves some level of danger/risk (you can race with no risk if you don’t care about winning) [they’ve radically changed that section multiple times to make it safer. should more be done?] Sadly, racing involves risk no matter how much runoff, how many SAFER barriers, etc. Ironically, there’s much more risk in both lower formula levels and even amateur racing because they typically don’t have safety cars for gravels or wet weather and they don’t have anything like the protection of F1 survival cells.

The most critical logistics units (fuel, ammo & food shipments) are heavily staffed by poorly trained conscripts. Incompetency and low morale in these critical units has a snowball effect, crippling front-line units. Most of the tanks, AVs, etc. destroyed were already abandoned after both or either getting lost and running out of fuel.

If Russians see you can have both freedom and prosperity then they’ll wonder what the need for Putin is. If they were so worried about NATO, they wouldn’t have stripped their entire border next to Finland of troops, air defense, etc. It’s also inaccurate to say “It’s an extremely important piece of territory that both want to keep in its sphere of influence.” It is for Russia, but if it were so important to the West they would have armed Ukraine BEFORE the war and not after. They would have also made it a priority in trade.

I’m Ukraine’s most ardent supporter and I’ll use this argument among people who are not well informed (95% of people), but if we’re being intellectually honest w/each other Ukraine was not going to have functional nuclear weapons whether they signed that agreement or not. They didn’t have the security codes to launch the missiles, the missileers were Muscovite loyalists and not willing to operate the missiles, and most of all, their economy was in crisis and there’s nothing more expensive than maintaining and operating nuclear weapons (to the extent that even Russia couldn’t either and the US paid to rebuild their crumbling nuclear storage facilities). They agreed to give them up because they needed the $ the US was offering and they knew the memorandum was non-binding which is why it was called a memorandum and not a treaty.

  4639.  @killianjudemisagal9754  SandBoxx has an episode discussing the RCS figures of the Su-57 and 4th gen American jets. It’s the video wing of an aerospace publication.
    1
  4640.  @СерхиоБускетс-ф7я  Not true. You’re also forgetting the fact that the F35 doesn’t even need RAM to be LO because it’s the first ever LO jet in history to feature to carbon nanotubes in its actual structure. So, the fuselage is one big radar absorbent structure.
    1
  4641.  @СерхиоБускетс-ф7я  The Su-57’s RCS is approximately 1,000 bigger than the F-35’s and the F-22 has a smaller RCS of 0.0001 m2 (so, the RCS of a bee). Meanwhile, the Su-57 has the same RCS as a clean F-18.

    1
  4644.  @patton3rd1  Indeed. It literally has the same RCS as a clean F-18. And if you’re saying “oh, well, that’s cheating!” Boeing created a one-off version of the F-15 with only internally carried munitions and covered in RAM (the Silent Eagle I believe they called it). So, the same could likely be done with the F-18 if the US wanted to make a faux LO jet. Luckily, we’re not incompetent liars like Russia and China.

  4645.  @MICLakVER  You should ask the guy directly below you for sources. His claims are utterly hilarious. Almost sounds like he’s talking about an F-22 running Luneburg Lenses and a drop tank.
    1
  4646.  @MICLakVER There’s no such thing as an “anti-stealth radar” and you need to detect an incoming plane before you can launch anything to intercept it. The F-22 or F-35 wouldn’t be flying at 50,000 feet to help the low frequency radar detect it (which cannot provide a weapons grade lock anyway). The radars that can provide a weapons grade lock wouldn’t get one until either was right on top of it and it opened its weapons bay. By that time, it’d be too late.
    1
  4647.  @Galford8322 Indeed, but lol your other comment is funnier than you because Boeing actually tried to extend the F-15’a production by doing just that: all internal bays, RAM canopy and RAM coating (the Silent Eagle). South Korea was really close to ordering it actually, but surprise surprise, they backed out at the last second and just decided to wait for the F-35. It did lower the F-15’s RCS significantly, but nowhere near LO. Luckily, the F-15 and especially the F-15EX carries a big stick, the most hard points and munitions capacity and the most powerful radar on earth. Working in conjunction with the F-35, it’ll continue to be a formidable platform for decades to come.
    1
  4648.  @CloneDAnon  Yes, RCS has different reading from different angles, but everyone uses the head on angle as the top of line RCS number. And, in that number, as well as all the other numbers from different angles, the Su-57 is nowhere close. The Su-57 is a spectacular plane with the world’s best maneuverability, but it’s not a true LO plane.

The vast majority of the military aid given to Ukraine thus far has been equipment that was paid for literally 40+ years ago and was expressly made to fight a war with the Russia. Much of its was already being decommissioned or already was decommissioned and destroyed and/or spares to be destroyed at major cost to us. Destruction of arms is extremely expensive.

  4662. The pogrom was an accident. Israelis ansd Jew were just supposed to be the enemy of the day or week. They weren’t supposed to do anything about it. The Russian leaders are both always assuming their TV propaganda will work yet also constantly shocked by how easily the people are brainwashed by TV. Like “hey, we’re at war to stop the Nazis remember?” The North Causes have lost so many sons to the war, they’re an open nerve (exhausted, scared and enraged) and looking to vent. When they’re told who the enemy is, that was a release valve the Kremlin didn’t think about. Yet the masterminds are so detached they just think “what’s wrongwith you? The jews are only the enemy of the week!” Russia does have healthy levels of anti-semitism and with what was going on Israel, it was really predictable that the Kremlin’s propaganda would create fallout in a Muslim region.

However, while I’d love to see Moscow turned to glass, I believe if it looked like everything was going to come crashing down all at once for Putin, he’d try to use nukes. So, as awful as it’s been, steadily eroding Putin’s support among both the people and his own circle so that if and when he tries to do something crazy his chain of command will break. Giving Ukraine F-16s, tomahawk missiles, ATACMS, etc. would see Putin running out of options in mere hours and he’d try something crazy. And there are still enough crazy generals that it might be allowed to happen.

Putin’s biography has become #2 bestseller in China since the war began and posting about their hopes that female refugees between 10-25 will be brought to them. However, most Chinese in Ukraine have called those out for the cowardly keyboard warriors they are.

  4783.  @samgragas8467  Not important, but 200k was hit a while ago and don’t forget that number was just KIA. Since traditionally wars result in a 4:1 WIA to KIA ratio, you’re looking at a bare minimum of well over 500,000 casualties. And in the time since they hit the 200k mark, the KIA numbers have been surging due to Russia concentrating troops to deploy to other hot spots, which now with Storm Shadow, can and are being hit anywhere in Ukraine. We’ve had single strikes purported to result in 500+ casualties. Due to Russia reporting some of the KIA figures, Ukraine learned they underestimated the KIA count on some of their strikes.

There has been ample documentation of problems caused to their military invasion due to denial of access to GPS. I also never implied that a limited supply, due to Syria, of guided munitions has not been a factor. I don’t mind being wrong. However, rather than just a smug “everything you said was wrong,” provide some detail on the reality of what is going. RE: AWACS, I said I am unsure of exactly how they work. So, would welcome a YT link or summary of why Russia hasn’t seemed to be able use them with any efficacy.

The US gave Russia $180 billion in aid (that’s 10x more aid than Ukraine has received so far) from 1941-1945. You really think 🇷🇺 would have been able to sustain its defense into 1942 and then push out of 🇷🇺 over the next 5 years without the following from the US: -400,000 jeeps & trucks -14,000 airplanes -8,000 tractors -13,000 tanks -1.5 million blankets -15 million pairs of army boots -107,000 tons of cotton -2.7 million tons of petrol products -4.5 million tons of food

No. And Russia, without the 437,000 tanks, planes and trucks the US provided they would have had no choice. Funny that Stalin and Khrushchev can admit they would’ve lost without the US, but you can’t.

  4884.  @G58  Two things mainly: first, they were driven by multinational corporate interests. As a corporate attorney, John Foster Dulles got the US to invade Cuba to protect US owned sugar plantations. They saw zero difference between American business interests and American interests. Second, they were driven by their Calvinist religious outlook on life that saw the world in black and white and themselves as the arbiter of how the world should look. Importantly, Calvinism professes a duty to its followers to actively go out into the world and make changes that promote good over evil. Sadly, in their eyes, good = America and bad = anyone who stood in their way or even simply stood aside. They were strong believers in manifest destiny, which was not an old concept when they were growing. And you have to remember they grew up in the halls of DC power as their uncle was the secretary of state, which is ironically what JFD ended up being while his brother Allen became the head of the CIA for about 25 years. Imagine being in a position of that much power for 25 years, which is why presidents found they could not constrain him (or Hoover). So, I guess you’d say, they worked for themselves.

Hell, as far as we know, their intelligence services might have heard a coup is underway that will finish the job for them (dare to dream).

Unlike all those other immigrants you no doubt hate, these people want to go home. You need less Tucker and more facts.

  4966.  @mintydog06  The only good news is, if people think Russia’s troops sucked, just wait until they see China’s (not to mention the tactical side/ lack of troop initiative too due to top down command structure, which is 10x worse in China). Besides the brass and top officers, the PLA’s army is made up of people whose only choices were starve/go homeless or sign up to the army in order to be able to eat. Soldiers are looked at as the lowest rung of society in China and if a kid who grew up in Shenzhen or Beijing and went to college said he was going to join the army his mother and aunts would LITERALLY tie him down and berate him for being a selfish, worthless excuse for a son. Chinese soldiers assigned to UN Missions have been notorious for their cowardice. They allowed hundreds of women they were supposed to be protecting raped and murdered within 50 feet of their walls after fleeing and hiding behind them at the first sound of gunfire. China’s society is designed around making money and their own personal family unit. Despite their wealth, they are last in the world in terms of charitable donations per capita. Self-sacrifice for anything besides money and close family is not in their character let alone these spoiled little emperors who are treated as the center of the universe. If China isn’t able to win the war exclusively in the air and at sea, they will lose. Because their troops will absolutely get slaughtered like headless chickens trying to advance up the beaches against even half way competent defense forces.

When I worked at a large structural engineering firm (as in house marketing), there were zero attractive women.

No one said the US is doing a good job and the EU isn’t. ps - if you divide the aid package by the EU’s nominal GDP ($19.35 trillion) it works out to .002790 of GDP.

  5072.  @me67226  Roosevelt was no Boy Scout. He was a lot more politically cautious though. And not allowing tens or hundreds of thousands US soldier die invading mainland Japan is more politically fraught than bombing civilians. However, Japan was terrified of the Russians being the army that might be their occupier. They always preferred surrendering to the US or UK. I think we could have leveraged that fear to have avoided needing to bomb the mainland or invade. I think we should have dropped a demo bomb, but we only had one I believe when drop the first bomb.

  5186. The price wasn’t the problem with fielding Armatas. It’s more the fact that, due to corruption, Russia is too poor to make any of their new concept models without first getting a large order from a foreign ally (e.g., Su-57) and that same corruption has also meant they lack even the most minimal acceptable production capacity. They’ve also done almost zero stress testing / worked out any bugs. That’s why when they finally sent out a few Armatas, none of the Russian units even wanted to use them. A mature platform like the T-80, in its model/specs, is preferable to a T-90 or Armata until they actually put the time and money to mature them as well as the parts procurement. With what’s happened recently, don’t expect to see that anytime soon.

  5218. You, like most Westerners don’t understand Russian politics or the people. As much as I’d love it to be true, Putin’s regime collapsing just because he looked weak is wishful thinking. Unless someone else can bring a military force against Putin, he’ll survive. Next time though, he’ll make sure his security forces include armor, heavy weapons, etc. what is true, is that it’ll be much tougher to cling to power during the next election because of this humiliation combined with the state of the country.

  5219. This new load of weapons should easily push Ukraine over the top. People are just focusing on the Bradleys (and Marders + AMX from 🇩🇪 and 🇫🇷), but there is SO MUCH MORE in the list. Dozens more self-propelled howitzers, 100,000+ more shells, including thousands of precisions rounds which are each equivalent in value to about 25 dumb rounds, hundreds more M113s, HMMWVs, MRAPS, etc., etc. The M2 Bradley, just like a fighter jet, can destroy enemy tanks at BVR before the enemy even knows you’re there.

  5224. The existing gifted aid (US weapons, money to buy foreign weapons, economic aid to keep the government, humanitarian) is FAR more important than the lend lease deal, especially with a $40bn package being passed. Lend-lease will only people be important if the bi-partisan political support in America falls apart. In that case, if aid is being slow to pass, they can still get whatever they need, but with the caveat they need to return it later or pay it back. However, lend lease debts from WWII were almost entirely forgiven by the US.

So, clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about. Did you expect them to include it here when this story has nothing to do with the US? It’s Russia and Ukraine, but you’re looking for excuses. “Oh, this is OK because some American soldiers did bad things in Iraq and Afghanistan!” BTW, America built tons of hospitals and infrastructure in both those countries. You think Russia is going to do the same? Our war crimes were 95% done by bad soldiers. Russia orders them done. Many were punished. Not enough, but Russia doesn’t care at all and it’s illegal to even talk about it. In America, we makedocumentaries about bad things our army did. In Russia, you’d be put in prison or killed for doing that. So, yeah, maybe STFU.

Further, his commanders can’t admit how bad their armor and manpower situations are. So, he’s operating on the assumption that 🇺🇦 is weaker than it is & the RFAF is stronger than it is.

  5282. Putin’s pipeline strategy: after blowing Nord 1 + 2 pipelines, the only NG pipeline left is under Ukraine (and turned off by them). Putin hopes both that RF can hold their lines deep into winter and the EU will get so desperate due to shortage + huge price spikes they will force Ukraine into a ceasefire/peace in exchange for the pipeline getting turned back on (a total pipe dream). If that doesn’t work or he needs to end it sooner, VP will create a nuclear disaster at the Zaporizhzhya NPP as an excuse to pull all his troops out of everywhere but Crimea and its near bank to the Dnipro River to retain a buffer force to protect Crimea. To add credence to this theory, it’s reported that Russian soldiers in Kherson have been receiving iodine tablets.

  5287.  @Jimmy-ye3wg  I’ll give you about 20 examples of how everything you said is wrong: Energy was 80% of their GDP and Gazprom was their cash cow. It is now losing billions per year. Because of their lost refinery capacity, they’re having to flood the market with crude to generate enough $ to reimport refined petroleum products. They used to have a healthy share of the global arms export business. Their sales are so non-existent now you couldn’t even see their share in a pie chart. They’ve lost more than a million of their most educated professionals. They’ve stolen international corporations’ Russian assets, guaranteeing they’ll have no foreign investors for at least a decade and they won’t be investing in expensive infrastructure that can be seized if they do. They used to have nearly 50% of the world’s market in launching space cargo. Now, they have less than 10%. They’re so financially insolvent that for the first time in the history of Russia personal income taxes are being raised and actually enforced. Their stock market just collapsed. Russia is hardly sharing any of the data they used to or are required to. And they cherry pick the only healthy looking items they can find. All their supposed “growth” is based on buying weapons from themselves. That’s not growth. It’d be like saying we’re going to pay our labor 7-8x their normal wages (because of labor shortage) to produce weapons and spend 4-5x the amount on buying foreign components required which mean they cost 10x more than they had and say they’re thriving. Their biggest petroleum customers India, pays them in rupees, which cannot be converted or spent anyway outside India. But India doesn’t produce anything they need. So, it’s like being paid in monopoly $. Do I need to go on?

Blowing up most of 🇷🇺’s Black Sea Fleet w/essentially jet ski engined drone torpedoes and low profile craft + cheap drones providing extremely cheap and effective ways to destroy tanks, APCs, transport trucks, stationery aircraft, etc. and provide better surveillance than billions dollar satellites (which have their place too).

Ukraine showed the world that FPV and quad drones could do the job not only more cheaply, but better than main of our expensive loitering munitions, surveillance drones, etc. and I hope the DoD fully embraces this pretty much common sense concept. There are many roles for expensive + over engineered platforms, but they need to recognize the areas where it’s a huge waste of money. Naturally, military contractor lobbyists have played and will play a role in trying to slow the “learning” and adoption of common sense.

Denmark even pledged EVERY single howitzer in its army. Maybe most exciting though is the Archer system. Arguably the most advanced artillery system in the world (if we’re discounting things like HIMARS) m, Sweden is sending 20 Archers. Half the total number they own.

  5349.  @rodneyagesa1851  Get real. When at full capacity, Australia can produce 18,000 shells a month, which is over 200,000 a year. So, yeah, they can be a hugely helpful contributor. Besides, the allies have a huge number of countries that can and are able to supply shells, which is the whole point. So, they don’t need to exhaust any single one source’s manufacturing capacity or stockpiled supplies.

  5387. Shameful is overdoing it a lot (with the exception of Germany in the first 10 or so months and France to do this day), but there have been good reasons for the gradual escalation in support. I think the bigger shame was how long it took for MBTs and IFVs to be committed. The delayed commitment wouldn’t have been such a big deal if they had been actually using that time to prep those tanks and the Ukrainian tankers. So, when they WERE committed, transfer could be pretty much instantaneous. It cost Ukraine a good chance to use the steppe territory of southern Kherson to launch a massive and basically unopposed attack across ground that only gets firmer when wet and where there are zero population centers or natural barriers from which Russia could have formed any real defenses. They could have cut through to Crimea in mere days.
    1
  5388. Also, remember, no matter how limp the response speed may seem, very few would have predicted the West would have ever come together to support Ukraine as much as it has before the war. That’s the greater shame: that the West had sold out to genocidal and totalitarian regimes so much that NO expert prior to this war would have predicted such a consolidated and widespread coalition of support. That’s SAD and SHAMEFUL. But it seems people are finally waking up to that and the powers that be are waking to the actual economic cost/benefit ratio (basically, the only thing that drives their decisions in times of non-crisis) of depending on countries like China, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

It’s absurd either way, it’s only discussed on the basis of if Russia will get mad and escalate, which they can’t, unless it’s nukes. And when/if they escalate to nukes it will always occur at the same time: when they’re about to lose.

If the US or NATO wanted to attack Russia, it would have done it in the ‘90s when Russia was a complete mess. Russia lost its influence because it let its economy crumble to the size of a medium sized US state. Influence is dependent on GDP and global integration. Not some archaic idea of a Russian empire. Common sense and logic seem to have been melted out of the average modern peasant by social media.

Second, power politics or real politik would require us to deter the PRC by supporting Ukraine. And Ukraine had little to no chance of entering NATO prior to the war, so the angle it could have been avoided had NATO just…,what, put up a fence between them and Ukraine? is beyond absurd.

Banks are defaulting, the housing market which accounts for more than 90% of Chinese citizens’ investment assets has collapsed and countries are moving away from manufacturing there as well as trying to decrease their reliance on imports from them. And, yeah, a green deal with China is absurd since they’ve done ZERO work on reducing their emissions. They announce big projects, but don’t ever do them. Often they’ll brazenly lie and claim they have and they barely even bother to cover it up because no one ever seems to call them out.

His comment that “there’s no more to be had” is the most uniformed thing I’ve heard someone not intentionally lying saying during this entire war. 🇺🇸 hasn’t even scratched the surface of Cold War era surplus or even more modern PPS inventory. U have no idea where he gets this stuff. We were also destroying thousand of tons of DPICM and set to recycle MRAPS, ProMaxx, M113s, HMMWVs, Patton-tank based MT-BLs and engineering vehicles, Avengers and on and on and/or give them to poor allies near PPS concentrations and to police departments. We’ve already managed to boost 155mm shell production by about 400% in just a couple months and we’ll continue to be able to do so.

Iran only even tries to get nukes as a negotiating tool against sanctions because they’re so desperately cash strapped and 80%+ of the country already hated the rulers and economic problems paired with oppression are bringing them to the boiling point. Iran has a highly westernized and secular majority, which knows it is held hostage by an insane minority and they’re tiring of it. It’s a shame the CIA and Mossad DIDN’T help the protestors since they’re already blamed for everything and anything that happens there by the government. So, it’s that you’re trying to eulogize the Ayatollahs.

  5534. This guy is good at twisting the truth (e.g., the filibuster has been constantly altered throughout our history and the current filibuster system/cloture was primarily developed in the 1970s). He talks about the democrats wanting to pack SCOTUS rather than balance it, which is what they want to do. And he fails to mention all the dirty tricks the GOP used to get its huge SCOTUS majority. He also fails to mention basic failings that have arisen in the long run in our electoral representative system. I don’t think the founders ever envisioned any citizen’s vote in one state (Wyoming) having 60x times more legislative weight than another state citizen’s (California). I also don’t think they envisioned we’d ever have a court that’d allow unlimited $ in politics. So, all these implications that our founding framework was flawless on delivery or that if a rule is 100+ years old it must be good is inaccurate and insincere since there have been lots of big alterations to the system since its founding. BTW, not a fan of Biden, but this guy seems to have a strong political agenda.

It was only after a woman reported him and made sure media also knew before they did anything. In the Park Prowler case they knew it was one of their own so they kept it hidden.

The only thing GOP/DT/Q cultists can do is play the what about game. A great example is the Hunter Biden thing. Dude obviously used his name to sell some Ukrainian company on the hope they would have oval access, which they didn’t get. No right. Meanwhile, Trump’s kids conducted dozens to hundreds of major deals based on their access to close literally billions of dollars worth of deals with no regard for our national interests. It’s no comparison, but the GOP acts like Hunter is/was worse than DJT’s kids.

All major outlets use the AP Newswire for these stories. That’s why they’re all saying the same thing. It doesn’t mean they all have different sources verifying it’s true.

  5658. Many seem unaware of how many munition depots + troop concentrations 🇺🇦 has wiped out in the rear w/storm shadow and GMLRS strikes during May/June + strategic victories like drawing tons of 🇷🇺 military resources and men to Belgorod (one of the reasons 🇺🇦 has been able to hit so many concentrations of troops) using only a few trucks, a tank and two IFVs being operated by a few hundred 🇷🇺 volunteers to launch raids there. It also shows we’re still mainly in the shaping operations phase. Moreover, 🇺🇦 is well on its way to capturing the flanks of Bakhmut and encircling the city. As for Zaporizhzhia, people act like it will be one decisive battle. It’s a grind through the first three layers of defense in depths, which u can’t just blitzkrieg because besides the men, artillery, GRADS, etc., the ground is soaked with AP and AT landmines. It requires using MICLICS and mine rollers. This is a slow and dangerous process.

  5671. Germany’s handling of Ukraine isn’t a departure from the norm; it is the norm. Their allies, including Washington, often ascribe German recalcitrance to a knee-jerk pacifism born of the lessons learned from its “dark past.” In other words, the German strategy — do nothing, blame the Nazis — is working. Of course, Germany’s conscience doesn’t really drive its foreign policy, its corporations do. While it hangs back from supporting Ukraine in a fight to defend its democracy from invasion by a tyrant, it has no qualms about selling to authoritarian regimes, like those in the Middle East, where it does brisk business selling weapons to countries such as Egypt and Qatar. Despite everything that’s happened over the past year, Berlin is still holding out hope that Ukraine can somehow patch things up with Russia so that Germany can resume business as usual and switch the gas back on. Even if Germany ends up sending tanks to Ukraine — as many now anticipate — it will deliver as few as it can get away with and only after exhausting every possible option to delay.   Much attention in recent years has focused on Nord Stream 2, the ill-fated Russo-German natural gas project. Yet tensions between the U.S. and Germany over the latter’s entanglement with Russian energy interests date back to the late 1950s, when it first began supplying the Soviet Union with large-diameter piping. Throughout the Cold War, Germany’s involvement with NATO was driven by a strategy to take advantage of the protection the alliance afforded, delivering no more than the absolute minimum, while also expanding commercial relations with the Soviets. In 1955, the weekly Die Zeit described what it called the “fireside fantasy of West German industry” to normalize trade relations with the Soviet Union. Within years, that dream became a reality, driven in large measure by Chancellor Willy Brandt’s détente policies, known as Ostpolitik. That’s one reason the Germans so feared U.S. President Ronald Reagan and his hard line against the Soviets. Far from welcoming his “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” demand, both the German public and industry were terrified by it, worried that Reagan would upset the apple cart and destroy their business in the east.   By the time the Berlin Wall fell a couple of years later, West German exports to the Soviet Union had reached nearly 12 billion deutsche mark, a record. That’s why Germany’s handling of Ukraine isn’t a departure from the norm; it is the norm. Germany’s dithering over aid to Ukraine is a logical extension of a strategy that has served its economy well from the Cold War to the decision to block Ukraine’s NATO accession in 2008 to Nord Stream. Just last week, as the Russians were raining terror on Dnipro, the minister president of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer, called for the repair of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline so that Germany “keeps the option” to purchase Russian gas after war ends. The money Germany has saved on defense has enabled it to finance one of the world’s most generous welfare states. When Germany was under pressure from allies a few years ago to finally meet NATO’s 2 percent of GDP spending target, then-Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel called the goal “absurd.” And from a German perspective, he was right; why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? Of course, the Germans have had a lot of help milking, especially from the U.S. American presidents have been chastising Germany over its lackluster contribution to the Western alliance going as far back as Dwight D. Eisenhower, only to do nothing about it. The exception that proves the rule is Donald Trump, whose plan to withdraw most U.S. troops from Germany was thwarted by his election loss. Joe Biden, eager to reverse the diplomatic damage inflicted during the Trump years, reversed course and has gone out of his way to show his appreciation for all things German. Biden’s decision to court the Germans instead of castigating them for failing to meet their commitments taught Berlin that it merely needs to wait out crises in the transatlantic relationship and the problems will fix themselves. Under pressure from Trump to buy American liquefied natural gas, then-Chancellor Angela Merkel agreed in 2018 to support the construction of the necessary infrastructure. After Trump, those plans were put on ice, only to revive them amid the current energy crisis. By virtue of its size and geographical position at the center of Europe, Germany will always be important for the U.S., if not as a true ally, at least as an erstwhile partner and staging ground for the American military. Who cares that the Bundeswehr has become a punchline or that Germany remains years away from meeting its NATO spending targets? In Washington’s view, Germany might be a bad ally, but at least it’s America’s bad ally. And no one understands the benefits of that status better than the Germans themselves.

They’ve always thought they should belong to Russia and have shown nothing but contempt for them and irritation that they are a fly in the ointment to smooth business w/the Russian state. Not a surprise since the SPD is primarily East Germans who were essentially de facto Soviets. They share Russian values, which includes a contempt for rules based order that opposes the idea of might makes right. They’re dinosaurs.

Scholz strong armed the US into now providing a system that makes no sense and gives fuel to America’s disgraceful, pro-Putin far right to once again complain the US has to pick up the tab to compensate for weak NATO allies (Germany particularly, which has been true for decades) if this turns out to be true. Scholz’s lack of communication skills has allowed France to escape scrutiny despite being nowhere near Germany in terms of providing aid. Hopefully, Macron can become the new focus of criticism. However, he’s probably busy with strikes by the French to lower the age of retirement to 25 years old + lower the work week to a maximum of 15 minutes.

  5688.  @kimpedersen4746 Europe has been doing both, but because, aside from Poland, they haven’t kept up with their defense spending obligations, their contribution is heavily leaning toward cash, which is critical to keeping Ukraine’s economy alive and buying weapons.

  5689.  @BuduLinek-pu4go  Another amazing factor that shows how much more people are getting behind Ukraine than governments is how much money and volunteering private citizens have given to Ukraine.

  5713. Xi was not surprised by the war. Only that the promised 3-day op didn’t come off. If it had, nothing would’ve been expected from 🇨🇳 by either 🇷🇺 or the West. It’s probable Xi now views Russia as a denuded, spent force and a mostly powerless ally, especially Putin, whose desperation serves their purposes perfectly for cheap energy and influencing global energy prices as part of OPEC+ as well as a gateway to slowly taking their regional influence for themselves in both Central Asia and the Middle East. Putin may get desperate enough to exchange Russian territory for weaponry for domestic and financial aid to keep from total collapse. I consider the territorial possibility very remote but not impossible. The fact that the CCP has been focusing on portraying Western democracies as in crisis and how much better its system works (doubt many Chinese feel like that right now) to its domestic audience may be a sign that it’s preparing for the possibility that Putin’s regime may collapse. However, portraying democracy as a system that brings chaos, immorality, crime, etc. is a permanent domestic narrative. So, it might also mean nothing.

  5719.  @bekeneel  Sadly, 🇺🇦 is getting F-16s w/very old radars while 🇷🇺 jets have far more advanced radars/RWR (except the Su-24), but the F-16s won’t be tangling w/them. They’ll just be focused on air defense until they get more F-16s. At which point they’ll likely start doing some A2G sorties. They couldn’t try BVR against 🇷🇺 jets even if they wanted to because the US is only giving them extremely short range missiles. It’s a travesty. What they need is the Meteor, but I don’t think the F-16 is compatible with that yet.

It wasn’t something that required constant upkeep and expense. The elite among the long bowmen would have almost certainly been the huntsman or huntsmen (number varying on the size of the estate) living on the estates of their lords (thousand of which existed from not much richer than a craftsmen petty lords with tiny pieces of land to fabulously wealthy and powerful dukes whose lands would take all day to cross on a horse).

  5765.  @malcolmgibson5088  No one who knows what they’re talking about has forecasted their imminent collapse. Mostly overly optimistic followers. There was a small danger of that collapse prior to the mobilization. They wouldn’t be in holding Luhansk if it weren’t for the mobilization, which in turn would have immediately endangered Donetsk. However, there was no way that the left bank of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Crimea would have even been in danger then.

  5766.  @malcolmgibson5088  I don’t think those are the ones with the morale problems. Those are the psychos that enjoy this stuff. The problem is that even many of those forced to fight seem to hate the Ukrainians (only angry they have to fight) and will kill them happily rather than surrender. Some, about 5%, don’t seem to hate Ukraine.

WWII’s military leaders were 100x better, but yes Churchill was terrible when it came to overall strategy. A large part of this was down to the fact that he was trying to both win the war AND save England’s colonial holdings at the same time. It was a huge conflict of interest that cost many lives and ended up seeing him sidelined later in the war when it came to deciding major offensives/strategic shifts in the war.

They’re giving old, use cold war era arms that were paid for 40+ years ago and stating each system, shell, etc.’s value as if it were brand new and adjusted for inflation.

  5781. On YT or when interviewed you should address the below issue as it’d make a real-world difference: Neither US media or POTUS explain the actual cost of arms given to 🇺🇦 is a mere fraction of the stated values. Most of those given were already paid for in the ‘80s & were mostly used, retired, retiring or being disposed of at huge expense. Examples: DPICM, SDBs, MRAPS and HMMWVs were all being scrapped + Avenger retired. The $ values placed on the packages are put at what these systems would cost new and bought today. Seems like they were thinking of foreign optics + political capital and forgot about domestic optics. They’ve also failed to mention how it’s paid for itself 20x over as US weapons performance so out shined Russia’s newest & best systems that our arms industry is getting huge orders from aero to artillery at the expense of 🇷🇺’s market share. All of which = jobs, revenue, etc.

  5782. That’s what happens when Russia keeps making one ridiculous decision after another. Even despite having only a handful of pro soldiers left, they still shouldn’t be doing as badly as they have been over the last month+. The craziest part is how easy the Kremlin’s short sighted priorities make it: just a few days ago Russia was busy blowing about 15% of their forces + supplies / theatre wide ability for a show of strength against about five guys in two trucks in Belgorod in order to win m tiny political/narrative victories that would/were forgotten about within 24 hours or less. Worse yet, most Russians didn’t/don’t care what happens to Belgorod.

Basically trading a large percentage of its already tiny forces to achieve a momentary narrative “victory” that would quite literally be forgotten and out of mind for Russians within 24 hours. Best part was that most Russians could have cared less what happened to Belgorod.

  5784. @Thedude4777 Putin is getting an amazing ROI. For fleeting control of a small city, it only cost… -90% of basically guaranteed future energy revenue -the Russian arms industry’s rep + 75%+ of future sales (if Russia even avoids collapsing altogether) -all his foreign currency reserves (or worse, seized) -50% of his army + any last shred of morale -his ability to travel to most of the world -most of Russia’s educated professionals -his image among Russians as a tough guy and intimidate his cronies turned warlord -his footing and control of his bowels AND SIMULTANEOUSLY -unified his enemies -expanded NATO -empowered his worst nightmare: a Ukraine that is showing Russians what’s possible when you’re not ruled by low IQ thieves -woke up the world to relying on guys him and Xi Jinping -turned Russia a pariah state for decades to come -turned the Kremlin from an object of CCP worship into a Chinese vassal AND THIS LIST JUST INCLUDES 5% of HIS “ROI”

  5785. @Thedude4777 Yeah, using your least elite forces and still only losing one man for ten dead Russians, draining their resources while stockpiling yours, breaking Russian morale, etc. Huge MISTAKE! 🙄 Another huge mistake Ukraine made was drawing Putin into sacrificing 40% of his forces to temporarily gain a strategically useless position just to gain a single domestic narrative win (which m, BTW, will make the already encircled city’s recapture that much more destabilizing) to enable hundreds of men the time to train, the time for massive amounts of new gear from MICLICS to MBTs to arrive, to setup the logistics for that gear, etc. that will allow you to steam roll your enemies.

Most countries in Africa have no administrative experience (I.E.,, the practice of running a state). Now, add a dash of tribal and religious hatreds with new Islamic groups coming in and they are incapable of running their own affairs. A multinational colonial administrations should come into these places with a 50 year plan to form the mechanisms of state and establish education to prepare its population to administer their state before a complete hand over.

  5859.  @dalecrocker3213  More like April or May. Russian lines will shatter like glass. They’re being held back by mainly territorial defenses, Ukraine’s worst tanks and basic artillery. Combine GLSDB, Bradleys, CV90s, T-91 Twardies, Leopards, Avengers, Archers and so on and Russia will be absolutely crushed, especially since they have basically no professional troops while the AFU has at least 40,000 newly NATO-trained soldiers yet to be deployed and they will be utterly smashed. Ukraine is intelligently massing their men and equipment until they’re ready to launch a true shock fist and in the meantime minimizing Russian progress. Meanwhile, Russia goes off cocked with an offensive that is basically over with only Bakhmut remaining a focus. So, they’ve made a gain of about 1.5 miles over 7 months at the cost of 45,000 KIA for a small town that is now just rubble.

  5861.  @pavel9652  Yeah, I saw that announcement too. But, since it was earlier said the GLSDB would be ready by late spring / early summer at latest and all it requires is sticking a wing kit on existing bombs, I think that’s a misdirection/OpSec (why let them know exactly when they’re arriving, just so they can move their stockpiles and VIP equipment back right before they get there). What I do think is true is that the GLSDB won’t be ready in huge numbers until the Fall or Winter. But they don’t need a huge number to make a big difference. Even 100 would make a big difference. BTW, GLSDB has nothing to do with the Air Force or NATO. It’s a new joint venture between Saab and Lockheed. They’re basically like little JDAMs, which America has been making forever.

We’ve got terrible systematic problems, but the idea that Chicago’s impoverished areas are the worst of the worst is simply wrong. And for all the MAGA HATS saying see this is what happens when you elect democrats. No, it’s the result of shifting all our country’s wealth to a tiny elite and leaving no opportunity for people to pull themselves up by the bootstraps. Democrats have been complicit too, but the republicans are gleeful in their pursuit of greed while claiming to be Christians. SMH

  5925. A little side note: about three weeks ago rumors emerged from within the PRC that Xi’s iron grip on power is slipping. Even if untrue, it is significant simply for the fact that during years of providing clients updates on the poli, economic, etc. situation in China, I’ve never even encountered rumors concerning Xi’s position simply because one quite literally risks their life talking about high level CCP officials in this manner let alone Xi. One thing is clear and that is many among the elite are far from happy about the direction Xi has been taking the country, especially when that direction is hurting their bottom line. OT, but I find it stunning how apparently clueless Western media are regarding matters within China. There has been nearly nonstop flooding for two-years in a row that make the human and infrastructure toll of Japan’s 2011 tsunami look like a minor incident by comparison. There’s barely been a peep about it in the media. You see short lived stories now and then with media repeating official Chinese statistics about lives lost and damage that to call naively comedic is far too kind.

  5935. A lot clueless talk here. There are strong indications that Rome actually modeled its government on Carthage’s after overthrowing their king and Etruscan rule. Carthage preferred diplomatic solutions to armed conflict. They did not have a long history of land warfare when Hannibal arose. Like many conflicts, the ultimate results turned on seemingly minor and unpredictable events that were only huge in retrospect. When Hannibal had Rome on its knees, it’s foolish to act as if one or the other state was bound to win and thrive.

  5936.  @erostheelder6831 Child sacrifice was not frequent, but revolting nonetheless. Most of the urns found in the temples were the bodies of stillborn children as analysis has shown. Infant mortality was around 40% at the time. However, I despise Carthage for its tradition of none of its citizens (that is the city’s citizens) fighting and doing dumb things like freaking out when an army that couldn’t hope to breach its walls surrounded it. Its heart was a basically a bunch of rich pansies.
    1
  5937.  @erostheelder6831 One last note, for most of Carthage’s history child sacrifice was exceedingly rare and usually done in times of extreme circumstances. But it took a much more sinister turn later on when the order of child sacrifice change. Instead of a sacrifice in desperation, some Carthaginians would promise a child in advance (one they did not have) and if their prayer or, let’s call it what it was, a wish came true, then the child was sacrificed. Awful. But like I said. This was not something that happened regularly let alone on some routine basis.
    1
  5938.  @erostheelder6831 BTW, Rome resorted to human sacrifice after the Battle of Cannae. Don’t forget the Greeks and Romans both used the Brazen Bull. A disgusting practice itself. Not as revolting as child sacrifice though.

Even more hilariously, he thinks Macron and Scholz will be the one to force them to the table when they’re two of the men who have, individually, done the least for Ukraine (it was Germany’s own congress who blasted Scholz for being tentative). It will be America and his own citizens who will be the main movers behind willingness to come to the table. He’s also high if he thinks NATO looks weak right now and they’d let Russia step on a NATO member without a response. He is either stupid or a Trump type in his politics if he’s using NATO not striking back against Russia for messing w/non-NATO members. The whole point of NATO is that they do not act outside the sphere of their own member states.

However, beyond royal gifts of land, the Catholic Church also got vast amounts of lands by forging wills, property deeds, etc., which just happened to name them as beneficiaries and/or the owners.

There’s no reason to diminish the blood spilled by men who live 80+ years ago because of Putin’s modern day atrocities. Also, his army are all boys from the sticks because he’s afraid to recruit from large cities since lots of dead boys could anger people in places big enough to take him down. It’s one reason to feel bad for the dead Russians who didn’t want to be there and didn’t rape or torture civilians.

  6021. Cause it never happened, unless you mean the suffering of separatist soldiers fighting Ukrainian soldiers. They can move to Russia. Oh wait, even Russia doesn’t want them or care about them. Russians view the DPR/LPR citizens as scum, but they’re a convenient excuse for Putin to boost his popularity w/a war he thought he’d win in three days.

  6024. I agree with Nielsen’s overall analysis, which is that any major Russian breakthrough is highly unlikely. So, is he “highly delusional too?” There will likely be some local victories. Maybe Russia will capture Chasiv Yar or the like, but we’re not going to see anything like the Kharkiv counter offensive where the Russians collapsed.

  6031.  @Petal4822  I didn’t click the link, but I agree the US/EU share a large portion of the blame in the context of realist politics rather than the idealistic belief that balance of power politics are dead and no one in the 21st century would actually go to war over security concerns. The US wouldn’t allow Mexico to become a Russian ally with a military base on their border. Why would Russia allow the same? More importantly, the US/EU were happy enough to encourage the Ukraine to provoke Russia, but never cared enough to actually offer security to the Ukraine. Simply because the Ukraine is not considered a vital interest to either let alone vital enough to risk war with Russia.

Sorry for all the questions. Just curious because my mom has begun to consider getting horses (she used to be a serious jumping competitor in her youth and had two horses) and since it wouldn’t be for sport I have convinced her if she does it has to be rescues.

Putin isn’t Stalin, but today’s Russians are far softer than they were then. So, their fear of Putin is likely similar. They can also be too close to the situation to see exactly how weak his situation has become.

It’s why I’ve never heard of one measured in square miles rather than acres or hectares.

There would also be far less productivity per acre if Ukraine, Europe’s bread basket, was occupied. You can’t farm in the middle of a war zone, after the conflict is over there is UXO (unexploded ordinance) all over the place and farmers aren’t going to want to stick around even if there wasn’t UXO and conflict directly on their land.

It’s a threat worse than a nuclear strike and we know exactly what will happen because Stalin blew up a hydro dam only a few miles from this dam during WWII in Zaporizhzhia and it killed up to 100,000 people and millions of animals. To avoid this, the US must warn Russia that they will treat blowing the dam no differently than using a tactical nuke. That is, a massive retaliatory strike against all their forces.
    1
  6150.  @angrydoggy9170  Exactly. The oligarchy, which includes Putin obviously, see regular Russians as sub-human. This is a Russian tradition. Don’t forget, Russia went straight from serfdom to communism. There was never a phase in which the value or rights of the common man was valued. Even communist platitudes submerged the individual into a faceless gear whose life belonged to the collective. Beyond that, Putin dies if the war gets to the point where Crimea looks seriously threatened. There is nothing he won’t do to avoid. I wonder if any of his kids are overseas. If so, we should grab them as hostage. I give it a 10% chance he cares about them more than himself.

Yes and it was actually Biden admin that got re-industrialization rolling through a coherent policy that incentivized domestic manufacturing. DT’s incoherent admin just tried to bully manufacturers on Twitter and introduce hit-and-miss tariffs.

  6160.  @centercannothold  Exactly what I said. He talked. Didn’t achieve much. However, it forced the Dems, who actually can write coherent legislation when they have to, to take on the issue more seriously. It didn’t hurt that everyone now sees China for what they are. An enemy with an active genocide going on inside their borders.

The Russian army has zero unity, zero pros, zero competent commanders. They have more equipment, but they don’t know how to use it.

An unjust reason, but they didn’t randomly detain them. Considering what their father did and them going to media, the fact that they were only not allowed to leave rather than jailed showed surprising restraint for such an awful regime. Anyway, the point is, if you’re just there for tourism or legit business, the odds of anything happening are one in a billion.

  6229. It’s maddening that not a single news publication has run a story explaining how this war is actually making the US money (since the MAGA crowd is primarily swayed by the misconception that we’re bleeding cash over this war while Europe is doing nothing). -Replacing Russian NG + oil in the Euro market -Prior to the Munich speech, record orders/profits for US defense contractors via orders primarily from 🇪🇺 (for themselves + Kyiv) which has created thousands of jobs and billions in tax revenue. Now these orders have stopped and many unfulfilled orders will be canceled (and with the huge backlog that’s a huge deal) -The real world price tag on our aid to Ukraine is under $50b considering as the vast majority of the arms given were surplus stock that was retired or going to be and was/would costing us billions to dispose of (DPICM, M113s, MRAPS, HMMWVs, M50 based engineering vehicles, etc.) and any stuff that wasn’t surplus means buying it from a domestic manufacturer thereby recovering a big chunk of the cost via corporate/income taxes + big savings for our own procurement due to volume, etc., etc.

  6239.  @meki___6881  You’re referring to the isthmus. Luckily, if Ukraine is close enough to attack that natural choke point, it means they’re close to enough to bomb the naval bases and the Kerch bridge with impunity. That means Russia will have no way to resupply Crimea. So, you just wait until their position becomes unsustainable, which won’t take long. Crimea can’t even get water without controlling Zaporizhzhia and southern Kherson.

It’s why the Bundeswehr had been allowed to basically become de-militarized. I mean, their level of I don’t know what to call it exactly, even led them to shut down all their nuclear power plants overnight because one NP was hit and wrecked by a historic quake and tsunami after inexplicably sighted right along the ocean and had poor design.

However, greedy European + US bankers have tried to scare them into not seizing the assets because they’re worried that kleptocrats from Africa and Asia won’t bank as much as them, but that’s absurd. There’s nowhere else for them to go. Who are they going to trust with their money? Banks in China, Russia or Africa? None of whom even have access to SWIFT?

  6317. OP sounds like a bot or shill trying to further the myth we’ve spent so much money on Ukraine. More than 50% of our lethal aid = arms already paid for during the Reagan admin (40+ years ago) for fighting the Russians and were retired and/or in the process of or soon to be disposed of at major cost to us (for example, DPICM is being scrapped thousands of tons at a time). So, the aid is = to less than 2% of our annual defense budget and has already deterred China from going after Taiwan. A war, which would snap the global supply chain over night and literally cost us more per day than this entire war has cost the US in 19 months and would come with an actual potential of nuclear war.

  6339. Earlier in the war when they weren’t working with much what they were doing in terms of adaption and innovation was amazing, but right now it’s pretty easy what they’re doing (as in the commanders job of determining strategy and tactics - being on the ground is never easy). Ukraine now has much superior weaponry, exponentially better soldiers and commanders as well as many more of both (soldiers and commanders). Russia basically destroyed half its army to get a political victory in Bakhmut. And, now, with storm shadow and HIMARS, Russia can barely perform any operational level maneuvers and at a local level, they’re beginning to be hopelessly outmatched. Ukraine made the painful but smart decision to sacrifice about 5,000 men to allow them to train hundreds of thousands of soldiers, medics, sappers, etc. and amass new equipment while letting the Russians bleed themselves out. Now, Russia is naked and shivering.
    1
  6340.  @dudule1669  Russia broke its back to get one big pile of rubble called Bakhmut. Right now they’re slipping off the cliff they built for themselves. Short of using its nuclear arsenal, they have no hope of stopping Ukraine. And if they use nukes, they’ll get nuked and end up losing even more epically.
    1
  6341. Yeah, yeah. All of this was just amazingly staged footage, thousands of actors, Ukrainians killing their own people just so they could accuse Russia. What about the video of the Russian soldier castrating a Ukrainian POW on video? Just an actor willing to be castrated for “fake news.” Are you a tankie or just a Q nut?

  6342. Agreed on the first part, but the CCP don’t have their hands in the coup rumors.

  6343. The Battle of Bakhmut has a better ring. 🇷🇺 will probably take Bakhmut, but big deal. The town was walking distance from their starting point in Dontestk city. Pathetic. 🇺🇦 needs a strong air-to-air platform with good BVR weapons like the meteor. The Mirage-2000 doesn’t fit that bill.

A person was arrested in China for video taping their family wedding and posting it on the web. The problem? Their home had dirt floors and no plumbing and since China has told the world they’ve alleviated poverty, this was considered an embarrassment and they wanted to make an example. They also turn people’s covid passports red when the government feels they might be going out to complain about something.

    1
  6352.  @Maddog-xc2zv  This argument that NATO not responding signals weakness to Russia is sheer ridiculousness. It would signal weakness if this was intentional strike or it happened again and they didn’t do anything. But a single hit that was caused by a Ukrainian AA missile knocking it off course and sending it into a field of grain...?

F-16s are also the only jet to use hydrazine, which requires special hazmat buildings which might be easily targeted.

Even if the strike is against Australia, the chances of nuclear retaliation by the US is too high. Sadly, I believe the West will let the Chinese swallow Taiwan because they don’t view it worth the potential of a nuclear war. If they were serious about protecting Taiwan, they would have recognized it as a country.

  6484.  @Excellent135  Singapore is dominated by Han Chinese and they almost never contradict the utter BS spewing out of Beijing. Ironically, despite the CCP’s love of screaming “imperialists,” it is China who is now in their colonial stage. Of course colonialism now means putting a strangle hold on another’s economy and government rather than planting a literal flag. But, just like the colonial powers did once upon a time, they’re spreading out bases to wherever they can, buying up property and key infrastructure all over the world, buying off governments, etc. Once their real estate/housing market collapses, it’ll be interesting to see how much grasp on power they can retain. Of course, when their economy crashes, it’s going to take us all down with them. Not quite as bad it will be there, but it won’t be pretty. However, it is true that Singapore cannot be said to be firmly in the sphere of either the USA or China. They’re a financial hub which depends on the rules based order winning. But they also don’t want that rules based order to become overly fair. It’s not in their interest to support either too strongly, but they definitely don’t want China starting a war.

In reality, it was to scare voters away who weren’t going to vote for him of course.

It’s the continual technological upgrades that make it much better than it’s ever been and when flying with an F-35, its effectiveness is boosted exponentially as they are networked together, allowing it to see everything the F35’s advanced sensor suite sees. What these tankies fail to realize is that there is so much to air superiority than each individual plane’s capability. From external sensor suites everywhere from space and AWACs to ground based radars and gen 5 planes flying nearby to mission planning (a massive element of whether a mission or sortie will be successful), which is extremely complicated and requires tons of experience and resources.

From Italy, England and France to Egypt, America and half of the former USSR, those living there have replaced a former population. The difference is that until the last 100 years, people accepted the new paradigm or were wiped out partially or completely. The Palestinians just won’t accept that they’ve lost land that will never be theirs again. Who knows, maybe 200 years from now Israel will belong to the descendants of current day Egyptians, but it won’t be in the hands of Palestinians in the next five generations. They can accept that and try to move on with what they have or they can continue to rise up and be crushed time and again. If they de-radicalize, other Arab states will actually allow Palestinians from the over populated Gaza strip to emigrate. As of now, no Arab state cares enough about them to risk letting any into their homelands.

So, Ukraine should avoid capturing Kherson as long as possible. War Translated for translating those videos. All MSM is reporting this because they all use the AP for stories like this. Not their own journalists. So, they’re saying the same thing cause they’re all using the same source.

Surveillance allows the small recon units to avoid engaging or being surprised by larger forces. Their mission is to disrupt small convoys and small groups of counter recon and defensive positions. Above all, they’re probing for weaknesses.

  6601. Lenient sentencing systems are great for non-violent offenders (America’s polar opposite system where people get life for stealing $58 from a bakery...look it up...is disgusting), but rapists and murderers who did it for kicks should be sentenced to whatever torture a surviving victim or their family’s want followed by death. Rapists are lower than scum. Murderers like these (as opposed to like a gang shooting) lower than scum. They deserve zero leniency.

Instead, America has basically picked up the tab for defending Europe for decades. Germany especially pisses me off because off how much America spent on rebuilding Germany, propping up the Deutschemark, the Berlin Airlift and on and on. And we’d been warning Germany about their reliance on Soviet gas since Nixon.

I’ve heard a number of inaccurate and contradictory analyses from him re:how internal Russian politics work, the views of the general public, etc. When it comes to broad assessments, he vacillates between by 20% +/- on what % of Russians hold x view as the most minor of examples. Then again, half the Western media still take Russian MOD wires at face value. So, I guess, this is a massive improvement. Anyway, this was a generally excellent interview.

  6672. I’m sorry, but Anders Asun is clueless as questioning if Putin is alive shows. Russian TV has been encouraging anti-Semitism, but the pogrom was an accident. Israelis ansd Jew were just supposed to be the enemy of the day or week. They weren’t supposed to do anything about it. The Russian leaders are both always assuming their TV propaganda will work yet also constantly shocked by how easily the people are brainwashed by TV. Like “hey, we’re at war to stop the Nazis remember?” The North Causes have lost so many sons to the war, they’re an open nerve (exhausted, scared and enraged) and looking to vent. When they’re told who the enemy is, that was a release valve the Kremlin didn’t think about. Yet the masterminds are so detached they just think “what’s wrongwith you? The jews are only the enemy of the week!”

  6676. PBS did cover it. In fact, they did so many documentaries on it Republicans wanted to take away their funding because they did’t like them exposing things we did wrong. So, clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about. Did you expect them to include it here when this story has nothing to do with the US? It’s Russia and Ukraine, but you’re looking for excuses. “Oh, this is OK because some American soldiers did bad things in Iraq and Afghanistan!” BTW, America built tons of hospitals and infrastructure in both those countries. You think Russia is going to do the same? American officials don’t tell their soldiers to intentionally terrorize civilians or intentionally try to destroy schools, hospitals, power plants. Our war crimes were 95% done by bad soldiers. Russia orders them done. Many were punished. Not enough, but Russia doesn’t care at all and it’s illegal to even talk about it. In America, we make documentaries about bad things our army did. In Russia, you’d be put in prison or killed for doing that. So, yeah, maybe STFU.

  6677. The most important thing is that the US has the largest, most advanced, most built-up and well-oiled military logistics machine in world history. No other country is even close or has even attempted to build up a similar system. Beyond that, no other country comes close to use in the number of air tankers, naval depots, pre-positioned stock, etc. All points this video fails to even realize exist.

But…things recently seem to finally be moving in the right direction with Europe finally realizing they can’t depend on the US nor can they just depend on this just resolving itself sooner or later for good or ill.

And many of the people most likely to demonstrate fled years ago, at the beginning of the war and now during the last few days. Unless the West is back channeling with some inside the Kremlin to guarantee them amnesty, he might actually be safer right now from an internal coup. When he loses the war, that will change.

  6720. Germany’s handling of Ukraine isn’t a departure from the norm; it is the norm: Their allies, including DC, often ascribe German recalcitrance to a knee-jerk pacifism born of the lessons learned from its “dark past.” In other words, the German strategy — do nothing, blame the Nazis — is working. Of course, Germany’s conscience doesn’t really drive its foreign policy, its corporations do. While it hangs back from supporting Ukraine in a fight to defend its democracy from invasion by a tyrant, it has no qualms about selling to authoritarian regimes, like those in the Middle East, where it does brisk business selling weapons to countries such as Egypt and Qatar. Despite everything that’s happened over the past year, Berlin is still holding out hope that Ukraine can somehow patch things up with Russia so that Germany can resume business as usual and switch the gas back on. Even if Germany ends up sending tanks to Ukraine — as many now anticipate — it will deliver as few as it can get away with and only after exhausting every possible option to delay.   Much attention in recent years has focused on Nord Stream 2, the ill-fated Russo-German natural gas project. Yet tensions between the U.S. and Germany over the latter’s entanglement with Russian energy interests date back to the late 1950s, when it first began supplying the Soviet Union with large-diameter piping. Throughout the Cold War, Germany’s involvement with NATO was driven by a strategy to take advantage of the protection the alliance afforded, delivering no more than the absolute minimum, while also expanding commercial relations with the Soviets. In 1955, the weekly Die Zeit described what it called the “fireside fantasy of West German industry” to normalize trade relations with the Soviet Union. Within years, that dream became a reality, driven in large measure by Chancellor Willy Brandt’s détente policies, known as Ostpolitik. That’s one reason the Germans so feared U.S. President Ronald Reagan and his hard line against the Soviets. Far from welcoming his “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” demand, both the German public and industry were terrified by it, worried that Reagan would upset the apple cart and destroy their business in the east.   By the time the Berlin Wall fell a couple of years later, West German exports to the Soviet Union had reached nearly 12 billion deutsche mark, a record. That’s why Germany’s handling of Ukraine isn’t a departure from the norm; it is the norm. Germany’s dithering over aid to Ukraine is a logical extension of a strategy that has served its economy well from the Cold War to the decision to block Ukraine’s NATO accession in 2008 to Nord Stream. Just last week, as the Russians were raining terror on Dnipro, the minister president of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer, called for the repair of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which was blown up by unknown saboteurs last year, so that Germany “keeps the option” to purchase Russian gas after war ends. The money Germany has saved on defense has enabled it to finance one of the world’s most generous welfare states. When Germany was under pressure from allies a few years ago to finally meet NATO’s 2 percent of GDP spending target, then-Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel called the goal “absurd.” And from a German perspective, he was right; why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? Of course, the Germans have had a lot of help milking, especially from the U.S. American presidents have been chastising Germany over its lackluster contribution to the Western alliance going as far back as Dwight D. Eisenhower, only to do nothing about it. The exception that proves the rule is Donald Trump, whose plan to withdraw most U.S. troops from Germany was thwarted by his election loss. Joe Biden, eager to reverse the diplomatic damage inflicted during the Trump years, reversed course and has gone out of his way to show his appreciation for all things German. Biden’s decision to court the Germans instead of castigating them for failing to meet their commitments taught Berlin that it merely needs to wait out crises in the transatlantic relationship and the problems will fix themselves. Under pressure from Trump to buy American liquefied natural gas, then-Chancellor Angela Merkel agreed in 2018 to support the construction of the necessary infrastructure. After Trump, those plans were put on ice, only to revive them amid the current energy crisis. By virtue of its size and geographical position at the center of Europe, Germany will always be important for the U.S., if not as a true ally, at least as an erstwhile partner and staging ground for the American military. Who cares that the Bundeswehr has become a punchline or that Germany remains years away from meeting its NATO spending targets? In Washington’s view, Germany might be a bad ally, but at least it’s America’s bad ally. And no one understands the benefits of that

And of course countries are going to avoid helping in ways that would be very domestically unpopular like allowing lots of refugees into the UK.

And even the only objective he will have achieved, which was to prevent Ukraine from flourishing after decoupling from Russia as it would show Russians how useless he is + the model of government he promotes (that only dictatorships work and democracies fail), will have backfired anyway. Because, while it may leave Ukraine struggling, Russia will be doing 100x worse than before the war and he’ll have sacrificed so many citizens for the reward of ruining his country’s future.

If corruption was rampant, they obviously wouldn’t feel that way. And the war wouldn’t be going as well as it is. Also, every command will miss a lot of opportunities throughout war. Just ask US combat vets if they’ve ever seen a missed combat opportunity. The answer will invariably be yes. Not making excuses for them. Just saying it’s a fact of war.

    1
  6867. Good report, but Ukraine did not blow up the Alligator. It was blown up accidentally by the Russians themselves. They have horrible munitions storage and handling practices. They also don’t throw away expired munitions and handle munitions extremely roughly (part of their bad handling practices). A fire broke out and a red chemical produced smoke was seen billowing out and then and then ignited a munitions depot immediately next to the Alligator. If you watch, the explosion doesn’t look like a normal missile strike at all.

  6911.  @UlsterScott  If you’re referring to the Kinburn penin🎉sula. The reasons that Russia abandoned it go both ways. Hard to defend, hard to live on, very few resources available, hard to conceal yourself. I think mainly it will be used as a place to stage a couple systems possibly both to deter from any possible attempt at a surprise attack from the sea but more importantly as a small distraction to Russian forces on the east bank. They might use it as staging for special forces though.
    1
  6912.  @UlsterScott  The only sure thing about the Kinburn Peninsula is that they’ll use it as a distraction for the Russians. If they were serious about going through there, they wouldn’t be posting videos of soldiers on boat’s going there. It screams “hey look down here!” [while we attack you somewhere else.

  6935. It’s a myth automated machines always out perform humans and are cheaper even when the holistic cost of humans is factored in (e.g., salary, benefits, legal and unemployment liabilities, etc.). There have been many cases when they companies get sold on automate devices (e.g,, packaging) and humans beat the pants off it at and a lower cost. However, the executive in charge will sweep that under the rug and continue out of ego and to avoid being fired for a terrible decision (they often can’t conceal the truth though).

  6937. I am happy you did that. Too many subordinates keep pulling the weight of and/or constantly bailing out senior employees who then actually get credit for getting the job done while abusing those who actually did get it done. It also seems most companies usually ignore or dismiss any warnings or complaints about senior level employees, which then further dissuades their reports from taking any action to remedy the situation. It’s why I cannot tolerate corporate jobs.

Germane have also been buying up houses in Switzerland where all houses are required to have an industrial scale bunker. They seem mostly concerned with themselves.

And because he has self-deterred to a ridiculous extent. But the odds of Trump continuing to support Ukraine is equal to the odds he’ll aid Russia in its war efforts.

If you mean why doesn’t Putin kill him for talking sh*t about him and the army non-stop, it’s for three reasons: a) he’s beyond the physical reach of forces that Putin can control and b) Wagner is still important enough to the war that losing them would be disastrous at a time they’re already falling apart and c) he’s gained enough popularity that there would be widespread fall out and blow back. Also, Putin isn’t very unlikely even aware of the worst of he says because he doesn’t use any digital devices and it’s unlikely that even his rivals would want to tell Putin the details because it makes them look bad.

Pair that with the pain they’ve been experiencing due to Putin getting them sanctioned and isolated and he will definitely be overthrown before mass mobilization could actually be brought to bear on the field of war.

That’s why it’s so hard when they’ve been old for a long time to lose them. I had a dog named Moose who lived to 23. Her brother (actual brother) made it to 17). Men always dying first. lol Anyway, I cried for every cat, dog and rehab animal I’ve ever taken care when they passed or went back to the wild, but when Moose passed, I wept on and off like a little child for two weeks after losing her because we were so close. I could tell what she was going to do just by a change in atmosphere in the room. She looked like baby yoda. An odd little head with ears almost as big as her family.

  7120.  @cratecruncher6687  Actually, the opposite. They’re using COVID an excuse (via total lockdowns) to stress test a wartime time under sanctions scenario, stockpiling the world’s grain supply, forced out 99% of foreigners, completely eliminated even the smallest amount of free speech let alone independent journalism or criticism and so on. Worst of all, Xi is under such pressure for how badly his zero COVID policy and useless vaccines have worked with an upcoming party election, he wants a war to change the narrative. I hope I am wrong, but all signs point toward rather than the opposite. You are correct on one point, which is that he’s seen how much isolation can truly cost. However, Russia doesn’t make 90% of the world’s junk (huge leverage), it isn’t a tiny economy like Russia and it can make almost everything it needs domestically. Food production is their biggest weakness, which is why they’ve been stockpiling grain to a crazy extent.

As for the NYFD battalion chief, it’s gotta be hard when everyone is looking to you for answers and you’ve got so few answers and so few tools at your disposal. I remember turning on the TV just about 30 mins after the South Tower had been hit and watched the whole thing and it only gets more surreal with time.

  7140. MAGA pretends aid is expensive despite scrapping DPICM/Hummers cost us $200m+. If 🇷🇺 wins it’ll not just cause a refugee crisis from Ukraine, but famine and refugee crises at a whim wherever they want in Africa and the ME because they’ll control half the world’s grain and already control 85% of its fertilizer. Or that this will cause nuclear proliferation because small to medium sized countries will assume the U.S. and NATO won’t fulfill their security agreements. And hostile countries will too because they’ll assume we’re too timid to oppose nuclear armed countries. Or the fact that many of the arms were giving are retired and are costing us millions and millions to scrap. This topic is just fun what coulda been stuff.

I am 99.9% convinced they are going to blow up the ZP nuclear power plant and 50/50 they will use tactical nukes. They’ve let the media narrative get totally away from them with even pro-Putin Russian mil bloggers reporting about their collapsing positions and dire situation. I’d actually feel better if Putin was maintaining the usual “all good, nothing to see” media narrative because in that environment what would be his excuse for using nukes?

Secondly, 500-600 were killed in a single strike on New Year’s day. So, 12,000 is hilarious. The report also seems credible because they report a huge amount of Ukrainian losses. Ukraine would never issue that number of losses. So, you know it’s not from some Western propaganda source.

Imagine if the USD was 15% and you could just sit back and watch your money make 15% by just leaving it in your savings account. And the exchange rate will go up to well beyond 100 and likely sit around 140–150 for those using private banks.

  7180. I fear that the US DoD might be too proud and too much in the pocket of MIC lobbyists and multinationals to ever embrace cost effective tactics like using essentially modified off the shelf drones to achieve big results at prices that are essentially free. There’s a place for both multi-billion dollar systems like THAAD and cheap OTS systems employing basic common sense like deploying tens-of-thousands of OTS drones at the same time to achieve what some multi-billion dollar drone swarm produced by Lockheed, especially since near peers simply don’t exist. I hope it never happens, bur if we clash with the PLA, people are going to find out they’re a paper tiger just like Russia (with better tech sure, but far worse commanders and officers let alone rank-and-file).

So, unlike Bush and Cheney and to a lesser extent Obama (one of like I think only 3 senators not to vote for the war and inherited something not of his making, but let himself be intimidated and misled, due to inexperience, by the military/intelligence sectors and continued the war).

People think they’re being profoundly smart when they point out weapons makers are profiting from a war. Then they make some simple minded jump from that to “the war was planned purposely so they could make money!” It’s why there’s no hope in the world. Zero ability for the masses to see nuance once someone waves a flag in their vision.

  7213.  PANDITJI. PUTIN  You’re conflating profiteering and, yes, endless example of terrible behavior by the CIA (mainly under the Dulles brothers, which, BTW, is no longer the MO of the CIA, SD and DOD when they operated like the whole world was the Wild West) with cause and effect. The Dulles brothers, unelected, steered US covert foreign policy for nearly 30 years and aimed at owning the world even if it meant overthrowing democratic governments and enabling the drug trade and selling drugs to US minority communities. It has reaped terrible turmoil for us and the world. All that is and can be true without the US intentionally being behind every war for the sole purpose of enriching the military industrial complex. However, I guess what aboutism and not fact and complexity, is easier for you to understand.

Amazingly, just last week, the minister president of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer, called for the repair of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, so that Germany “keeps the option” to purchase Russian gas after war ends. I find it impossible to believe they’d be allowed to get away with it, but we’ve seen countries get with worse.

It’s one of the reasons there are suddenly so many billionaires and the biggest wealth gap in human history.

It also shows we’re still mainly in the shaping operations phase. Moreover, 🇺🇦 is well on its way to capturing the flanks of Bakhmut and encircling the city. As for Zaporizhzhia, people act like it will be one decisive battle. It’s a grind through the first three layers of defense in depths, which u can’t just blitzkrieg because besides the men, artillery, GRADS, etc., the ground is soaked with AP and AT landmines. It requires using MICLICS and mine rollers. This is a slow and dangerous process.

  7352. Even if you don’t care about the people dying, there are selfish reasons the West shouldn’t want to let Russia win Russia has already weaponized energy, if they are given Eastern Ukraine Russia will be able to control the global food supply from two ends which will be like putting two more guns to our head. If we don’t meet their blackmail demands, they will be able trigger famine which triggers wars which triggers refugee floods. Here’s how: 1. Control of the world’s largest grain supply 2. And control of the world’s ability to grow crops with a high yield as Russia is the world’s biggest exporter of fertilizer (you know...that stuff needed for both farming + making explosives), which it has already weaponized by recently banning its export, which has quadrupled its cost for farmers. And Eastern Ukraine is rich in the nitrates to make fertilizer and explosives. 3. If we don’t give Russia its demands for all arctic resources, Finland/Sweden not in NATO, Ukraine, Etc., they can release a tidal wave of refugees fleeing starvation and war to America and Europe. Famine is has been historically the biggest source of war and mass migration. 4. And don’t forget massive increases in the price of food. 5. You set a terrible precedent that would likely lead to China invading Taiwan which would destroy the global supply chain and economy 6. No one would ever give up nukes voluntarily again or our security assurances seriously

  7357.  @leoniefreihart  Luckily, much of the most important equipment is located almost immediately next to Ukraine and already prepped for delivery (the M2s for example are taken from what is termed PPS or pre-positioned stock that is forward deployed in Germany and other locations across Europe). They’ve already been training on the Bradleys for at least a month and most of the APCs they’re getting do not require training. They’re even already training on the Leopards too. So, the German two-step won’t damage 🇺🇦 as much as it might seem at first glance. I think the Ukrainians are nearly finished training on the Patriot system too. The only items I really worry about delays on are the AMX-RC 10s (cause, presumably, they’ve been in deep storage and the French are, well, French) and the Marders for obvious reasons. Fortunately, they only represent 90 of the 1,600+ newly promised armored vehicles. Less fortunately, those 90 are much more important than, say, 90 M113 APCs.
    1
  7358.  @leoniefreihart  You’re right in the sense I don’t think they’ve intentionally delayed any deliveries once promised because, luckily, the SPD is not in charge of the transfer of materiel once approved. The men responsible in the Bundeswehr are independent (I’ve seen one of their officials criticizing Scholz). However, because Germany spends so little on its armed forces, most of the older systems pledged have required a long time to bring back to service. And you Germans do things thoroughly and immaculately. Two-step is an American idiom, which means putting on act for the purpose of delay.

The other major part was deciding trickle down economics and shipping jobs overseas and making America a service based economy rather than actually manufacturing anything was the way to go (for their own pockets).

  7415.  anothaview  No. When did I say it was their fault? Many Russians do care, but a majority percentage believe they have cause to invade Ukraine. Sadly, the US and EU do share part of the blame. In a perfect world, every country would be free to choose their own destiny. But it’s not a perfect world and Russia made it clear in 2008 if that the West persisted in trying to make Ukraine a NATO country they would do this. They did the same in Georgia after all. I can’t imagine the US letting Russia setup military bases in Mexico or Canada. So, it’s no surprise Putin felt the same. To be clear, he is evil and this invasion is totally immoral. But we should have seen this coming and basically come to the agreement, no Ukraine in NATO while making it clear we would give them military aid if Russia sought to take advantage of that, which I don’t think they would have if they had as long as they knew Ukraine would never enter NATO.

  7416.  @jsb1585  Many care. However, it is a false narrative that some outlets are pushing that a majority of Russians are against the invasion. One of my fellow polisci majors spoke Russian and lived there and people would often ask her why the US set up a rebellion in the Ukraine. Obviously they didn’t, but many, many Russians believed they did and agreed with the Crimean takeover. To be clear, Putin’s evil is not the fault of the average citizen, but without immense internal pressure on Putin, there won’t be much incentive for him to make this invasion as short as possible.

  7421.  @RazorMouth  Oh, wow. You think I didn’t realize the difference between a low yield nuke or a short range ballistic missile and an ICBM. Did anyone get to mentioning that the US used to even have nuclear shells shot of a howitzer (atomic annie). My point was that a nuclear bomb is a nuclear bomb as in it’s an unacceptable weapon to use. The term tactical nuke has the effect of getting people more used to the idea of using nukes in a non-MAD situation. Even if it’s low yield, it still puts on the escalatory ladder. It can still renders areas unsafe for agriculture, livestock or habitation. It can still poison water sources. And so on. There are basically almost not situation in which the use of nukes for tactics is justified.

  7432. The Abrams message wasn’t for Ukraine. It was because it was a German demand to give tanks. Putin is committed to taking it all the way to maintain the current gains, not to taking all of Ukraine. It doesn’t matter though, he needs to be crushed in either scenario.

  7434. If we’re going to blame the UK, for something it should be something accurate like allowing hundreds of billions of stolen Russian money to pour into their country, not all this BS about the BM. The Budapest Memorandum (not “Agreement”) was never a formal security agreement. Also, the Ukraine would have never been able to operate those nuclear weapons. Their own nuclear operators refused to even operate the nuclear silos. They didn’t have the codes either to operate them. And all those nukes were dismantled. Add to the fact that most Ukrainians wanted them off their soil and that the cost of the operations was enormously expensive and Ukraine knew this and actually got compensated instead of having to pay to safely store decaying and inoperable ICBMs.

Those who dislike found more petty reasons to dislike (e.g., Tucker Carlson ranting to his viewers about VZ not wearing a suit, portraying him as a bedfellow to their sworn enemies like Pelosi and so on). For those who don’t pay attention to the news or politics much (a majority of Americans), nothing changed. There may be tiny upticks and downticks based on changes in the stock market, news from the battlefield, etc., but basically count on opinions staying static overall. The only real variable and important question is when and if the minority GOP opposition will ever make a legislative move against Ukraine.

  7563. Depends what you consider long range. They’ve already promised GLSDBs in very large numbers (unlike the Storm Shadows) and they were supposed to start arriving as early as June, which means it can’t be too long before they make their debut. They might already be there and we just don’t know it yet. There are lots of strikes happening at distances we seem like too close to waste on storm shadow and a bit near the edge of GMLRS. Eventually, we’ll provide ATACMS, but only in limited numbers because they aren’t made anymore and they’re America’s only mid-range ground launched missiles until PRSM production starts. Even at 80km, we consider GMLRS short range. Not mid-range.

Western coverage has been awful + damaging in every way: relentlessly insisting we had “war fatigue,” not detailing (or knowing?) how little military aid has cost 🇺🇸 or how little as a measure of GDP is being given by even the best allies, superficial and misleading battlefield “analyses,” barely reporting on all the atrocities 🇷🇺 is committing in/against Ukraine and worst of all, the geopolitical stakes.

If it’s the Wumao they’ll spout about 🇯🇵 in 🇨🇳 during WWII, which is always especially ironic because the CCP members hid in the mountains during the war and allowed the nationalists (with aid from Western allies) do all the fighting. Once Japan was booted out, they emerged from their caves (hundreds of thousands) and took power since most of the nationalists had died fighting in the war. Current Chinese text books however say that it was the CCP that saved the country during WWII. It’s amazing and disgusting.

You should note that wealthy, powerful people in America are able to avoid justice for much longer, but if their crimes become known they are taken down. In many other countries men at their level would never be taken down. Powerful people will always be get away with a lot, but the West is basically the only place they have to worry about hiding their misdeeds.

  7690. People are misunderstanding what happened in regards to Nagorno-Karabakh. Russia actually suggested Azerbaijan make this move to basically take down Armenia’s president and as a warning to other former vassals to stay in line in retaliation for Armenia threatening to join the ICC and align with the U.S. You think Russia cares if they had to sacrifice a few of their own men in this operation?

  7695.  Zack Smith  What did Imperial Japan get? It kicked your ass until America saved you. The communists hid in a cave while the nationalists did all the fighting and when the war was over the communists scurried out of their caves like cockroaches and took over because so many of the nationalists had died trying to defend the Chinese people while the Mao z Dung hid in his cave waiting for an opportunity. I bet you didn’t know that because the CCP gives you fake history books.

Xi Jing Ping won’t dare invade Taiwan now and do you have any concept how badly that would destroy the entire world’s economy? It’s short term thinking not to think the same amount of money we spend on stupid shit like weapons programs even the Pentagon doesn’t want just to keep 300 people working in some state, to save us trillions in the long run, which is what Afghanistan cost us. So, imagine what a clash with China would cost us just on a military level let alone the economic cost.

He’s has both his wild life and flying days + a safe, pampered life with easy food and lots of love (birds literally think you’re in love with them if you pet them because it’s actually how mates show sexual attraction to each other and why birds typically dislike owners’ opposite sex partners).

    1
  7785.  @tubthump  Obviously stuff that was already being disposed of or retired was already replaced. The US does not begin destroying old arms or retire systems before they already have replacements. So, no, they’re not getting any additional money off that. The only areas where they’re making more money is in the production of 155mm shells, the GLSDB project and an increased demand from foreign customers for GLMRS. And just because they’re getting additional demands in certain areas doesn’t make it unethical or cynical. Should they refuse to fulfill necessary orders so it doesn’t look like they’re profiting from war? They’d be making a lot more money if we were giving Ukraine every thing they needed.

Their support of Ukraine has been nothing other than pathetic. And the way they intentionally degrade their own military is a shame, especially since they’re the HQ of NATO. But I wouldn’t disagree most African countries would STILL be better off with being a protectorate of Belgium.

I would Oryx’s very recent article to get a clear and unbiased picture of how poor and even disingenuous their efforts in support have been. Given that Belgian public support is pretty high and the government’s still resisting doing more so strongly. They refused to buy back any of the arms they had Cropley sold to private firms at the price of Scrap Metal and eventually were happy when Germany got sick of waiting and just bought the tanks, for example, themselves. And the UK M109s.

I wouldn’t have a problem with this, but people need to understand and accept that there is a moderate risk that could escalate into a massive conflict or even nuclear war. I doubt Putin would purposely get into a nuclear war, BUT it is so easy for one of the hundreds in charge of deploying those nukes to make a mistake and once that happens, all bets are off.

The public was lucky enough to discover him because he took a stand on this PC language war (and actually knew what he was talking about and was a strong orator) at just the time it was really heating up in the zeitgeist. If he hadn’t published those initial YouTube videos about C16, it’s unlikely the general public would have ever heard learned he existed. My point is simply that if you find this guy fascinating because you love to learn via well spoken, prodigiously researched individuals rather than just love JP for his eloquence on issues you care about, there’s a galaxy of other guys like this out there for you to watch.

Their ships are untested, but on paper look impressive. Maybe they will be very effective or maybe not. Most importantly, they have the worst soldiers on planet earth. No experience. Reputation for cowardice. And, since being a soldier is looked at with contempt by Chinese society due in part to their non-existent pay, no one who has gone to school or just has the smallest prospects for that matter, join. It’s only people who would be homeless or starve who join. Imagine that group experiencing contact.

  7962. I love this guy, but he’s wrong about the timing. NATO countries have done huge work on the transfer of significant volumes of armored vehicles and ammunition: in total, since the beginning of 2023, it has been announced that the AFU will receive 890 units of infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and BATs (this equipment will be enough to staff ~ 29 mechanized battalions), more than 1.5 million units of ammunition, more than 80 self-propelled guns and howitzers, as well as means of delivering deep operational strikes (GLSDB is a type of ammunition for the HIMARS system, which is built around a planning bomb). the Ukrainian armed forces have begun to form 3 army corps based on both strategic reserve brigades and personnel brigades that actively took part in hostilities, as well as units that are currently in the process of being formed. We are talking about creating a "shock fist" of 75 thousand military personnel, which is designed to do what was previously not possible to implement during the Kharkov-Izyum operation - to mass the forces and conduct a continuous high-intensity offensive, without being distracted by losses or rotations.

As for a DMZ force, it wouldn’t require a huge force as it would be their kinetic ability but rather the promise of a major forces retaliating if they did attack Western troops.

We’ve also made tons of money due to new foreign arms sales generated by people seeing how well our MRLS, PATRIOT, etc. systems were doing vs how badly Russia’s junk was doing. And this isn’t like normal MIC jobs programs. These were/are factories that were already up and running. So, just more well paid jobs + taxes from corporate profits. You know the stuff needed to pay for roads and vaccines.

Some pharaohs, who came from Sudan, were black, but they were neither the original or final rulers of Egypt. Because of the Roman Empire’s influence, many modern people confuse the later Ptolemaic rulers (who were white Macedonians) with what the pharaohs looked like or were. But they weren’t pharaohs and that was, oh, just more than a millennium later.

  8154. Their plan was doomed to fail if Ukraine didn’t surrender within 72 hours. It’s zero surprise Russia can now only exert force by air w/a 70% conscript army and when u consider its army’s design: Conscripted Soldiers (Serve 1 Year) -paid less than $25 a month (way less since ruble collapse) -receive 3-4 months of basic training -serve for only a year, during which they are often victimized by their own officers, who often violently haze young recruits -Many receive MREs that expired years ago and insufficient ammunition Contracted Soldiers (3-Year Service) -Paid $1,100 per month -Receive roughly 3x more training -enjoy many opportunities for corruption including siphoning off conscript pay -Are given better equipment Russian Supply Lines Were Designed to Fail: The corrosive effects of the divide between conscript and contract soldier are multiplied by the army’s design, especially in Logistics & Transport (the most important aspect of armed conflict without doubt). The most critical logistics units (fuel, ammo & food shipments) are heavily staffed by poorly trained conscripts. Incompetency and low morale in these critical units has a snowball effect, crippling front-line units. Most of the tanks, AVs, etc. destroyed were already abandoned after both or either getting lost and running out of fuel.

Trump said the bill would allow in 5,000 immigrants per day and then shut down and 99.9% of Republicans believed him and went NUTS on the few Republicans who stood by the bill after Trump let it be known he wanted it killed).

And, while he makes a mess of interviews and speeches, his admin’s actual results are very strong: economy is thriving w/moderate inflation being the only weakness in the economy, he’s passed more bills than Trump’s term and Obama’s last term did combined, including wide sweeping critical infrastructure projects that we’ve been trying to get done for 20 years, lower prescription costs for families, etc. Unemployment is at a 50-year low. Domestic manufacturing is really starting to take off. This was quickly done too before the GOP claimed the speakership and went into we won’t pass anything no matter how good for America it is if Trump doesn’t endorse it or a single democrat let alone Biden was involved in drafting it. So, yeah, all this “the sky is falling” is just noise produced by social media, the GOP and their media empire. It’s also due to the fact that because Biden has really started losing the plot, he hasn’t even bothered to remind Americans about what he’s passed, what was in it, etc.

  8193. Not everything is about the US. Russia started this war. Russia knew Ukraine was not a threat even if it was in NATO. Putin is worried about Russians seeing how much better life becomes when you don’t have a dictator or a Russian puppet in power. However, because of how isolated he is, he genuinely believed Ukrainians wanted Yanukovych and that the Maidan Revolution was just a CIA conspiracy. It obviously wasn’t. And, because he knows he is not a legitimately elected and that Russia could be much better without him, he was afraid that if he didn’t crush Ukraine his people might take it into their heads that they could get rid of him. The only blame the US has is that they knew Ukraine wouldn’t be allowed in NATO, but let average Ukrainians think they would. Behind closed doors, Zelensky knew he would not get into NATO, but he used this fact to get as much military aid from the US as possible.

  8194. TT has about 30 vids w/some version of “Will Putin Escalate Over EU Candidacy?!” Maybe if the media didn’t publish this type of story in bold and then go crazy w/even more headlines when he inevitably issues another generic threat or fires a single missile at Kyiv, he wouldn’t think the West so easily intimated or be encouraged to test limits.

  8195.  @julianshepherd2038  His dogs are and they report it back to him that their threats are deterring the West / stoking fear over whether Putin might nuke everyone at any moment. It’s a serious issue to be considered, but the headline quantity/tone of where he’ll escalate every time the West offers some new form of support to Ukraine (no matter how small) or when Putin makes a belligerent statement w/nothing new in it at some small domestic event let alone directly to the West, makes it seems more like the press is milking/sensationalizing the issue to generate views/sell papers than anything.

However, I’m afraid DT will basically pull out of NATO and tell Russia that we won’t retaliate if they use nukes in Ukraine.

  8221.  @GARDENER42  Pretty sure I mentioned this above and I mention it everywhere. 80% of the stuff the US gave Ukraine wasn’t worth even 5% of the MSRP we slapped on it for optics, but ALL the countries did this. So the public thought they were spending loads despite almost all the weapons given by West were paid for decades ago AND most of the countries are getting paid back for the arms given or back filled with something much better. So, even a lot of the “donations” have really been a gift to themselves.

  8268. Meanwhile, Fox News is telling its viewers Biden bombed the pipeline and they’re lapping it up. Because they’re not even aware Russia had already cut off the gas or the contractual penalties Putin was facing, they just figure “why would he blow up his own pipeline.” Using a January clip of Biden promising Nord 2 would be shut down if Russia invaded, MAGATS are “100% sure it was Biden.” Biden Derangement Syndrome definitely exists. 1. Russia saved itself tens of billions it was going to owe for breaching its contractual obligation to deliver natural gas, but with the pipeline now busted and impossible to prove it was them, they’ll be off the hook. 2. Putin is literally fighting for his life with hundreds of thousands running from the country to avoid mobilization and facing certain defeat in Ukraine, which combined will get him removed and killed. By blowing the Nordstream 1 and 2 pipelines, the only pipeline from Russia to Europe is under Ukraine and Ukraine has turned it off. Putin hope Russia can hold their lines until late in winter and that Europe will get so desperate for gas that they will pressure Ukraine into a ceasefire/peace, so the pipeline can be turned back on. That would allow him to escape without losing. 3. He wants the world to fear him and take his nuclear threats seriously. Blowing up the pipeline is an escalation that will make many take that more seriously. Finally, Russia and Europe were already cut off from Russian gas and pledged to get completely off Russian NG by 2024. So, why would Biden need to blow it up and why now? It makes no sense.

  8277.    The problem isn’t the entrepreneurs who become billionaires but CEOs compensated billions for jobs thousands of people could do equally well for a $1m a year. But an even much bigger problem are the people with inherited wealth who can multiply their billions easily because they have capital. Once you have capital, wealth generation is hilariously easy.
    1
  8278.    Yeah, I have no idea. I just live in one of the wealthiest zip codes in the world. Am part of a family where every single member is a millionaire. Nearly everyone in my circle is a millionaire. So, yeah, I don’t get or see how my inherited wealth has made becoming even wealthier easy. You would literally have to be an idiot to not understand how the dynamics of immense capital makes getting wealthier a no brainer. BTW, I am not referring to wealth of $1m-10m. I was talking particularly about people in the $100m to billionaire category. Once you reach that level of wealth even an index fund will see you making tens-of-millions annually on average. No skill required and little to no taxes if you understand how to organize your wealth into the appropriate trust accounts. Someone can have an amazing idea or IP, but with no capital to bring it to life, it means nothing. With capital, it easy to take a controlling stake by simply financing it. Even if the first 9 VC projects fail, just one hit brings in exponential wealth. Buying real estate and developing high density residential dwellings on previously single family resident lots takes no brains and 90% of the time brings in massive returns. Try doing that with no capital.

So, they had to share technology with NK. So, yeah, they paid for shells that don’t even work, but they had to beg and then share info they never would have before the war. More ironic yet is that NK tried to acquire some of the same technologies from Ukraine, but were refused. So, Ukraine could have “paid” in the same way Russia too. So, begged / traded / paid, there’s a line here.

I did initially, but Poland immediately committed to allowing an unlimited number to come in and the way the west galvanized so quickly to support Ukraine/oppose Russia not only at the gov level committing to lethal aid, sanctions, etc., but in the private sector and of course at a societal level (excluding the CCP’s firewalled/brainwashed populace), has shocked me (in a good way) in is speed and ferocity. Never have countries bordering a refugee crisis opened so readily to refugees before. Yes, so far, the rest of Western Europe haven’t formalized as generous terms as Poland yet, but are preparing to shoulder their share. I doubt any will do it on the scale of Poland though. If Germany were smart, they would accept many as they’d be a better source of educated labor and more able to smoothly integrate into German society than the ME/NA refugees they accepted.

So, it’s ironic you and @ Matt Potter just assumed I was some clueless, brainwashed American. Remember though, guys like Mearsheimer aren’t versed on the military side of things let alone writing anything about the subject covered here. So, he is a totally irrelevant to this specific topic.

  8372.  @andreabindolini7452  You are partially right. I think I was thinking of the F15E Strike Eagle when I said that. I know the F15 is one of the best ever air-to-air fighter jets. Wasn’t its development radically altered in response to the Fox Bats before we realized it was a shit plane? However, why you’re only partially right is because the F15 was considered a compromise by the Fighter Mafia, which wanted it much lighter. However, one or more of the branches wanted it to be a plane with the speed to enter enemy territory and payload capacity to drop nukes on enemy territory. One of the reasons was, as I mentioned before, that when it was under development we were not yet fully confident in our ICBMs to deliver MAD level strikes. The fighter mafia wanted the F15 to be something like the size and weight of the F16.

  8423. It may have been a GRIM-2 (which has the range) or a modified Neptune, but I am leaning toward partisan/SOF strike. It is possible for it to have been a missile because the base was far enough away from most of the civilians that they wouldn’t necessarily have seen or heard a missile. I think Ukraine needs to be careful how they deal with Crimea. If they strike it regularly they WILL get tactically nuked. I think they can only get away with very occasionally striking it. Also, I am sorry, but while Putin lives, there is zero percent chance Ukraine is ever getting Crimea back. In fact, I don’t even think they can try to get back it without immediately being nuked.

  8430. The F-35 and F-16 aren’t rivals of the F-15 and FA-18 for sales. The F-15, besides the F15-EX, is a retired line and the EX’s total production number will be under 60. Even more ironically, while there’s a big demand for more F-15s due to delays in other F-35 block numbers, the F-15’s manufacturing tooling was all cannibalized by the F-35’s production line. And the F-16 is not a carrier aircraft like the FA-18.

  8453. Your video fails to report that shell factories in Eastern Europe are producing shells for Ukraine flat out. Sure, most of this is 152mm, but that significantly reduces the rate of 155mm Ukraine has to use. It also fails to mention Ukraine has been much more selective in firing even unguided shells. Finally, even when the MIC doesn’t have a good excuse to get America to expand, it usually finds a way. Now that it’s needed AND will include a lot of jobs since this is not a high tech systems project, but an industrial base project requiring lots or labor, you can be sure they’ll be tooling up.

It seems like half of Germany want Ukraine to get what it needs and half the country are so paranoid about their own safety, they don’t want to get involved. I’ve seen that Swiss bunker sales have exploded because of Germany with more purchases every month since the war started than they averaged per year prior to the war. And many Germans were staying in those Swiss bunker hotels and talking about how they just want to stay out of it. As for the SPD, they know their days of cheap energy and sex tourism bribes [look it up] from Russia are over, but they’re still dragging their heels.

Not! That’s not real growth. That’s artificial growth that is ruining Russia. We know the economy is so healthy they refuse to almost all of the normal financial data they used to share without complaint. It’s also why Russia has rampant inflation, a ruble that’s spazzing out, lost their entire “rainy day” fund (all the money left in it is non-convertible assets. Russia is truly screwed. It may stave off eventual total collapse if the war ends by the end of year, but it’ll be a decades before it can fully recover. They’re so hard up on funds they intentionally leave as many cargo 200 in Ukraine, refuse to accept those who Ukraine offers to send back and make claiming benefits an absolute nightmare for the families of Russian soldiers.

  8475. ⁠ @NPSpaceZZZ 3.6% growth! You make me laugh. You realize that’s not real growth when they’ve spent every last dime on domestic military procurement at the expense of rampant inflation, not repairing infrastructure or fixing their energy production infrastructure, right.

Not the marginalization aspect, but in terms of what they inherited. The U.S. didn’t fully leave the Philippines until the mid-century. It’s why they’ve been such a productive country. What the U.S. did during the U.S. - Philippines was disgusting though and even in that time, something like nearly 90% of the American public opposed the war and condemnation was essentially universal.

  8573. Arthur is a bit clueless about many things, including this. He’s confusing the fact that Assange was definitely aligned with Russia with him being there and not in U.S. custody.

It’s really not that hard to learn how the Russian leaderships and other unaligned powers think, operate and how they think the West operates and thinks. It is down to pure arrogance they keep making the same mistakes and ignoring Central and Eastern European experts. Frankly, those living in the Baltics do not need to be a military or geopolitical experts to understand the Russian MO.

It’s not lie that Russia reuses and strips chips for use in low-end weapons (obviously they get high-end brand new chips for their advanced weaponry). And it’s true that they cannot detect the sea drones. Maybe their subs have the sensitivity to, but not their ships. And, if they can, what’s the excuse for getting taken out so often?
    1
  8590.  @edhargquest8710 Even if they used a passive sensor system dispersed on autonomous vehicles, buoys and seabed devices, I doubt they’d be highly effective at detecting small, slow moving drones (they don’t move at high speed until they actually arrive near the target). And, no, their ships either don’t have sensitive enough sensors or they don’t have good enough software to filter through all the background noise and isolate these small submersible drones.

Yeah. No. But keep posting for that sweet bot farm $. I’ve seen your username all over videos posting misinfo.

  8624.  @Memovox  Still waiting for all this corruption evidence. Denmark is extremely corrupt! Notice how saying it doesn’t make it true. If Ukraine had been blowing its aid on corruption they’d be losing decisively and they wouldn’t be doing things like repairing critical services over and over again with amazing rapidity. Ukraine has even made sure to install new border guards at every little dinky western border post that are from far away regions to ensure there is no corruption (locals are much more likely to turn a blind eye to those they’ve known their whole lives engaging in illegal cross-border trade or participating it in themselves). They’ve cleaned house in the judiciary removing judges who they couldn’t have removed in non-wartime circumstances. Because Russian influence has been expelled and because the world’s eye is on the country, the reformers can finally get rid of corrupt officials and businessmen without worrying about retaliation. It’s one silver lining to the war. A major reason for this war in the first place was that Russia didn’t want Ukraine showing reform and genuine democracy was not only possible but could bring better living standards.

Many times, Israeli tankers haven’t even noticed they were almost killed until they got out of the tank and noticed debris from the intercepted missiles, RPGs, etc.

I’ve looked at the data and beside the hardcore GOP base being fed a steady diet of misinformation about Zelensky buying palaces with US aid, US support remains strong. Besides that, the wheels of a massive rearmament program for Ukraine are already in motion with congressional support that cannot be stopped. It’s a multi-year plan that, even if the Cheetos man is elected, will already have massively rearmed Ukraine before he has a chance to throw spanners in the gears. If US support was declining, you wouldn’t have 75% of Americans saying we shouldn’t back down from nuclear threats. Either way, it doesn’t matter, Russia cannot hold on for another 6 months besides maybe Crimea.

Our support is leading the way along with other countries like Poland, Lithuania and other small Baltic companies whose contributions per capita are far greater than the relatively modest amounts given by countries like France. People need to realize the long term financial costs of letting Russia win would be greater. People always talk about the sacrifices made by the greatest generation. Well, apparently, having to live less comfortably is too large a sacrifice for them.

Or maybe you haven’t been paying attention. In what world do you think Russia is winning?

  8739.  @stevebuckley7788  Almost everything you said is wrong. There’s tons of video evidence tons of it showing a massive amounts of tanks and ammunition left behind you’re right it’s not yet available on CBS in the major newspapers because you know how slow they are on reporting this stuff. But when you see Geo located images of Ukrainians putting up their flag in the center of Kupiansk and they pan to an image of dozens of tanks with a Z on it and crates and crates of ammunition you can be pretty sure it is a reliable piece of evidence. Also go to speak the truth for example a big YouTube channel and look at their clips from Putin’s personal news man talking about what a disaster it is there why would Russian propaganda channels lie about huge losses? It’s OK not to know what’s going on. I make mistakes and have to admit them too.

  8775. It’s a lot more complex than this, but you’ve made a good start for someone who looks 20. A very concise big picture summary. Anyway, yes, Iraq was largely about oil, but it wasn’t mainly about getting Iraq’s oil. More important was their plan to use Iraq as a permanent military base at a key chokepoint for both the production and transportation of oil in the region. It’s actually more difficult to keep it moving than simply finding it when you have hostile powers ranged against you. Obviously, it goes way beyond simply oil even. The roots of the conflict trace all the way back to the Dulles brothers and beyond. BTW, you forgot about the most important thing by far that we let Saudi Arabia off the hook for: 9/11. In fact, the US desperately did everything they could to cover up SA connections to the attack. Wouldn’t be good for business after all...

Ironically, most of the richest ME, Muslim only countries do basically the least to help Palestinians of almost any group. Most Palestinians would emigrate to a prosperous Muslim nation if they were invited, but none of them seem to be willing. Not saying they should have to relocate at all, but it’s far more than just the “West” NGAF about them.

  8800. General Armageddon was actually 50x more competent, but his crazy insistence on not trying to defend to doomed territory didn’t sit right with ol’ Pooty Tang. However, I don’t think it really would matter much at this point. Russia has so little left to work with right now, no one could make a massive difference unless they were willing and allowed to cede thousands of KM of territory they’ll never be able to hold. The other problem is there isn’t really a Russian army. There’s more like dozens of different divisions each belonging to their own warlords, which is how the system was intentionally designed to work. Forget cooperating and coordination, some of these are literally killing men from rival divisions and/or PMCs. The best the Kremlin could hope for is they restrain themselves from looting domestic territory and sabotaging each other instead of openly fighting.

So, Ukraine should avoid capturing Kherson as long as possible since it forces Russia to keep men and resources on a longer front line. Focus on mopping Luhansk and Donetsk before Kherson. All major outlets use the AP Newswire for these stories. That’s why they’re all saying the same thing. It doesn’t mean they all have different sources verifying it’s true.

  8834. I don’t see how Russia is in a slightly better position than Ukraine. Even if Trump is elected and abandons Ukraine, Russia’s stockpiles are so far exhausted, they will be drastically behind Ukraine by the time all of the current US pledges and current + future European pledges are fulfilled. Russia’s production rates aren’t based on new production. They’re based on reconditioning existing stockpiles. Once they’re out of AVs, barrels, shells, etc. to recondition, they’re going off a clip and that will be soon. They’re already taking motorcycles and golf karts to the front.

As for the vampire drone, I haven't heard almost anything about that being given to Ukraine.

  8860.  @joshephand5538 If airlines had mechanics let alone engineers investigate every time a passenger reported a noise they found “weird”there might literally only be a few dozen flights taking off per day nationwide. Furthermore, there is no way they would have identified the source of the whistling noise as they’re going to assume the standard structural elements are in place. It’d be like if you felt road / wind noise was louder than expected on a brand new car you just bought. You’re not going to disassemble the entire door to see if the soundproofing has actually been forgotten (and that’s a much easier job). You’ll look at the weather seal on the door and window and that’s about it.

I believe the reason Ukraine’s Kherson offensive has been so slow in starting is that the AFU wants to give 🇷🇺 as little motivation as possible to blow the dam and another Kharkiv type collapse would def be strong motivation. I think they also want to attack where Russia doesn’t think they’ll be. I think they may even focus on Zaporizhzhia before attacking Kherson city. If I was the AFU, I would focus on basically trying to freeze and starve out Russian troops on the west bank.

Russia has mainly worked on some cool sounding delivery vehicles. However, ICBMs enter from out of space and are basically impossible to shoot down. Besides, are you excited for Russia to become a radioactive crater while Putin hides in his luxury bunker, not caring if you die because he’s already sick and old.

  8898. The US media and WH’s biggest failure is never explaining how our aid to 🇺🇦has neither cost us a dime (nearly 85% of what’ve we given has been retired or retiring system - many of which were costing tens-of-millions to scrap like DPICM & HMMWVs) or what a bargain deterrent it’s proven. For example, 🇨🇳 thought 🇷🇺 would quickly defeat 🇺🇦, but seeing what’s happened to 🇷🇺 has totally frozen the CCP calculus on the possibility of successfully absorbing Taiwan by force, which would be a much tougher nut to crack than Ukraine. Deterring a PRC invasion of 🇹🇼 saves the US and global economy literally trillions due to the fact it’d collapse l the global supply chain, create massive stagflation, shortages and worse. This is before we even calculate the costs of a military intervention by the US.

  8950. Some additional interesting facts on the deep rot: *Germany blocked NATO’s ascension to NATO in 2008, blocked a meaningful EU sanctions package on Russia in 2014 and the SPD has always viewed the Baltic states as not deserving of independence and an annoying impediment to its work with Russia. *News this month that the number of German soldiers declaring themselves conscientious objectors rose fivefold in the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine created little more than a ripple in Germany. For many Germans it’s perfectly natural for members of the Bundeswehr, the army, to renege on the pledge they made to defend their country; if Germans themselves. don’t want to fight, why should their troops? Indeed, in Germany, a soldier isn’t a soldier but a “citizen in uniform.” It’s an apposite euphemism for a populace that has lived comfortably under the U.S. security umbrella for more than seven decades and goes a long way toward explaining how Germany became NATO’s problem child since the war in Ukraine began, delaying and frustrating the Western effort to get Ukraine the weaponry it needs to defend itself against an unprovoked Russian onslaught. *In the opening hours of the war, Germany’s finance minister laughed at the Ukrainian ambassador’s request for aid because ‘sending aid would be a waste of because your country will be done in hours.’ *Germany is STILL talking (as in this week) about their hope to restore normal relations and energy imports w/Russia once the war is “resolved.” *Germany’s allies, including Washington, often ascribe German recalcitrance to a knee-jerk pacifism born of the lessons learned from its “dark past.” In other words, the German strategy — do nothing, blame the Nazis — is working. Of course, Germany’s conscience doesn’t really drive its foreign policy, its corporations do. Gerhard Schroder was literally Scholz’s mentor and Putin is the god father to one of his children, he was on the gazprom board, STILL won’t condemn Putin. You don’t get more transparently corrupt.

Of course, Germany’s conscience doesn’t really drive its foreign policy, its corporations do. While it hangs back from supporting Ukraine in a fight to defend its democracy from invasion by a tyrant, it has no qualms about selling to authoritarian regimes, like those in the Middle East, where it does brisk business selling weapons to countries such as Egypt and Qatar. Despite everything that’s happened over the past year, Berlin is still holding out hope that Ukraine can somehow patch things up with Russia so that Germany can resume business as usual and switch the gas back on. Even if Germany ends up sending tanks to Ukraine — as many now anticipate — it will deliver as few as it can get away with and only after exhausting every possible option to delay.

This is a quote from the journalist (I believe it’s Jake’s video/this one? Apologie, it’s hard to keep up all the different vids and comments sections straight): “In the last last 20 years the Russians invited EVERY male SPD politician to 🇷🇺 for conferences, events, m ceremonies, etc. and the Russians paid for it all... and all these SPD men got the same rooms in the same hotels and totally "by chance" met beautiful young women (or men), who adamantly insisted to have s*x w/these old SPD men in front of the mirror in these exact hotel rooms - naturally with the lights on.”

But even that would only buy him time at best as the economy would/will still be going on down and down. Sanction’s aren’t going to lift, unless he gives back every piece of land (barring maybe Crimea) AND pays tons of damages, which will never happen.

Why do you think Russian oligarchs own have of the most expensive properties in London? Just recently, the US has become as bad or even worse than the UK in terms of encouraging dirty foreign capital. Yes, the US and the UK too I’m assuming, will go after non-sophisticated criminals like drug dealers who have no explanation for their income. But those are criminals only worth just a few million or less. The criminals with enough money and sophistication to employ a sophisticated web of trusts and shell companies have nothing to worry about it. The US and the UK WANT all that dirty money pumped in by kleptocrats, drug dealers, arms dealers, tax avoiders, etc. because it props up their currencies and empowers their financial institutions. They just don’t want it being visible.

  9095. Germany’s handling of Ukraine isn’t a departure from the norm; it is the norm: Their allies, including Washington, often ascribe German recalcitrance to a knee-jerk pacifism born of the lessons learned from its “dark past.” In other words, the German strategy — do nothing, blame the Nazis — is working. Of course, Germany’s conscience doesn’t really drive its foreign policy, its corporations do. While it hangs back from supporting Ukraine in a fight to defend its democracy from invasion by a tyrant, it has no qualms about selling to authoritarian regimes, like those in the Middle East, where it does brisk business selling weapons to countries such as Egypt and Qatar. Despite everything that’s happened over the past year, Berlin is still holding out hope that Ukraine can somehow patch things up with Russia so that Germany can resume business as usual and switch the gas back on. Even if Germany ends up sending tanks to Ukraine — as many now anticipate — it will deliver as few as it can get away with and only after exhausting every possible option to delay.   Much attention in recent years has focused on Nord Stream 2, the ill-fated Russo-German natural gas project. Yet tensions between the U.S. and Germany over the latter’s entanglement with Russian energy interests date back to the late 1950s, when it first began supplying the Soviet Union with large-diameter piping. Throughout the Cold War, Germany’s involvement with NATO was driven by a strategy to take advantage of the protection the alliance afforded, delivering no more than the absolute minimum, while also expanding commercial relations with the Soviets. In 1955, the weekly Die Zeit described what it called the “fireside fantasy of West German industry” to normalize trade relations with the Soviet Union. Within years, that dream became a reality, driven in large measure by Chancellor Willy Brandt’s détente policies, known as Ostpolitik. That’s one reason the Germans so feared U.S. President Ronald Reagan and his hard line against the Soviets. Far from welcoming his “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” demand, both the German public and industry were terrified by it, worried that Reagan would upset the apple cart and destroy their business in the east.   By the time the Berlin Wall fell a couple of years later, West German exports to the Soviet Union had reached nearly 12 billion deutsche mark, a record. That’s why Germany’s handling of Ukraine isn’t a departure from the norm; it is the norm. Germany’s dithering over aid to Ukraine is a logical extension of a strategy that has served its economy well from the Cold War to the decision to block Ukraine’s NATO accession in 2008 to Nord Stream. Just last week, as the Russians were raining terror on Dnipro, the minister president of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer, called for the repair of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which was blown up by unknown saboteurs last year, so that Germany “keeps the option” to purchase Russian gas after war ends. The money Germany has saved on defense has enabled it to finance one of the world’s most generous welfare states. When Germany was under pressure from allies a few years ago to finally meet NATO’s 2 percent of GDP spending target, then-Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel called the goal “absurd.” And from a German perspective, he was right; why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? Of course, the Germans have had a lot of help milking, especially from the U.S. American presidents have been chastising Germany over its lackluster contribution to the Western alliance going as far back as Dwight D. Eisenhower, only to do nothing about it. The exception that proves the rule is Donald Trump, whose plan to withdraw most U.S. troops from Germany was thwarted by his election loss. Joe Biden, eager to reverse the diplomatic damage inflicted during the Trump years, reversed course and has gone out of his way to show his appreciation for all things German. Biden’s decision to court the Germans instead of castigating them for failing to meet their commitments taught Berlin that it merely needs to wait out crises in the transatlantic relationship and the problems will fix themselves. Under pressure from Trump to buy American liquefied natural gas, then-Chancellor Angela Merkel agreed in 2018 to support the construction of the necessary infrastructure. After Trump, those plans were put on ice, only to revive them amid the current energy crisis. By virtue of its size and geographical position at the center of Europe, Germany will always be important for the U.S., if not as a true ally, at least as an erstwhile partner and staging ground for the American military. Who cares that the Bundeswehr has become a punchline or that Germany remains years away from meeting its NATO spending targets? In Washington’s view, Germany might be a bad ally, but at least it’s America’s bad ally. And no one understands the benefits of that

  9101. The tank export authorization will be agreed upon at Rammstein. The reason it’s taken so long is only cause Scholz and most of the SPD are or at least were completely owned by Russian money. Scholz’s mentor and the former German chancellor STILL supports Putin for christ’s sake. Imagine if Obama was best friends with Putin and had been on the board of its biggest oil company and Biden was now president. That’s Germany’s situation. Actually, the bigger reason was Germany hoping if they waited long enough Ukraine would lose and they could go back to getting cheap Russian energy. They now know that’s not possible. So, they’re having to get on board to ensure they don’t look like a nation of Hitlers again.

  9110. This is why I got rid of my aftermarket business. I was always honest about the products, which was that most of them didn’t offer half the performance gains they claimed or worse actually reduced performance. However, I soon realized most of the customers had already made their minds up and didn’t want to hear. They’d then go buy the product from someone who said I was wrong and the product would deliver as advertised. Basically, most modders are more interested in bragging rights on paper and looks. For example, most cars’ handling can be improved with much smaller wheels, but few want to hear that or do that.

But they are the HIMARS of the economic battle. Can they be enforced much more aggressively? Yes. And they should be. But, even if sanctions don’t clamp down further, they’ve already crippled Russia.

  9130. And they should. They’ve quite literally netted trillions since they went full bore with Russia on natural gas despite being warned Russian would use the dependency and profits as a weapon. They also saved hundreds of billions by basically spending nothing on defense and relying on the US to come and save them if anything ever happened. France, meanwhile, isn’t meeting any of their moral obligations.

  9132. The IOC and CCP are two peas in a pod. Norway leaked this list of IOC demands when they withdrew their 2014 bid: -They demand to meet the king prior to the opening ceremony. Afterwards, there shall be a cocktail reception. -Drinks shall be paid for by the Royal Palace or the local organizing committee. -Separate lanes should be created on all roads where IOC members will travel, which are not to be used by regular people or public transportation. -A welcome greeting from the local Olympic boss and the hotel manager should be presented in IOC members’ rooms, along with fruit and cakes of the season. (Seasonal fruit in Oslo in February is a challenge…) -The hotel bar at their hotel should extend its hours “extra late” and the minibars must stock Coke products. -The IOC president shall be welcomed ceremoniously on the runway when he arrives. -The IOC members should have separate entrances and exits to and from the airport. -During the opening and closing ceremonies a fully stocked bar shall be available. During competition days, wine and beer will do at the stadium lounge. -IOC members shall be greeted with a smile when arriving at their hotel. -Meeting rooms shall be kept at exactly 20 degrees Celsius at all times. -The hot food offered in the lounges at venues should be replaced at regular intervals, as IOC members might “risk” having to eat several meals at the same lounge during the Olympics. -“All furniture should be OL-shaped and have Olympic Appearance.“

They’ll go for Crimea before they try to take back Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, etc. They’ll create a bridgehead over the Dnieper using a river island as a stepping stone and then launch across the sparsely populated and mostly mudless desert between the river and Crimea, which lends itself to a thunder run, which will cause behind Russian lines.

It’s Russia and Ukraine, but you’re looking for excuses. “Oh, this is OK because some American soldiers did bad things in Iraq and Afghanistan!” BTW, America built tons of hospitals and infrastructure in both those countries.

They ignore or rationalize its leaders literally saying we are their enemies. This crisis of disbelief also extends to how differently they treat their own citizens let alone “enemies.” It’s why they’ve been letting 🇨🇳 pillage our IP, hunt dissidents within our own borders, develop bio weapons, unleash drug epidemics, push around allies in the South China Sea, etc. w/out retaliating or even condemning their actions, trying to improve our security.

The DPICMs will be massively helpful too. Finally, if Ukraine does create a true bridgehead across the Dnipro that allows them to move as much manpower and equipment as they want, the war is over. There’s no way to defend the completely unpopulated and almost featureless steppe. However, I still agree with Anders’ overall picture.

  9358. This guy sounds clueless. The reason Putin isn’t going for mobilization has ZERO to do with he thinks he can do what needs to be done with what he has. It’s because of a number of reasons, including the fact that they don’t have enough men to train them, the fact that many Russians are ALREADY refusing to report for duty and it would be humiliating for it to happen in large numbers, that they’ve been pulling all their troops from non-metro areas (so, their pool of potential troops isn’t nearly as big as some think and it’s positively small if you exclude the big cities) and they may be lacking the materiel to effectively equip, deploy and supply them. Finally, it would take a minimum of six months to get them deployed to the front lines if you were willing to give them basically just enough training not to immediately shoot themselves in the foot (which they might do on purpose).

There are thousands of people who predicted the same developments even much earlier when the internet was only for hardcore computing geeks/mostly tech professionals.

  9399. @ It’s so frustrating that what is truly our biggest problem is people’s ignorance and the incompetence of the media. It is literally criminal that they seem either to not be aware of these facts or it somehow hasn’t occurred to them tell people. While Biden is a saint compared to DT, it is also his admin’s fault that they never explained these facts or even why Ukraine is so critical to our national security interests. They only ever offered the ethical/moral reasons, but our lazy and cowardly populace slowly loses interest with that and are easily convinced they’re somehow losing something… It’s all too much.

  9401.  @cchron1063  It’s extremely frustrating we’re in this situation due to the sheer ignorance of the general populace as well as the failure of both the media as well as Biden + the Dems to ever explain why supporting Ukraine was a) a vital national security interest and b) economically beneficial yet all he talked about was the ethical dimension, which a portion of the population will always dismiss and it also allowed it to be politicized (the EU blah blah, we’ve got $ for that but not blah blah). Obviously Trump and the GOP are the bad actors, but that doesn’t absolve the failure of others.

  9432.  @angmohnize-to-atasify First of all, China lies about new tech breakthroughs all the time. Number two, the reason the West wasn’t bother with hypersonic missiles is that all ballistic missiles are hypersonic. We just don’t call them hypersonic. The only thing that qualifies hypersonic missile is a cruise missile that can achieve hypersonic speeds because a cruise missile is already hard to intercept and then add the speed and traveling at that speed is incredibly hard to intercept. What China has is a hypersonic glide vehicle, which is an impressive tech (it’s basically ballistic but with a maneuverable warhead) but not worth the extra money since ballistic missiles are already hard to intercept and much cheaper so you can just fire off multiple of those to ensure success. We’re only about to start using one of our old ones again because Americans hear about HMs and think oh no! So, we need to have one just for the perception.

  9433.  @ghandimauler It’s true. My mom was the CEO of a large multinational and when we visited American offices we got no special treatment. However, when we accompanied her to Lisbon for a “Global Managers Meeting,” a limo arrived on the runway and we were disembarked before anyone else (awkward) and driven off to some private lounge where we basically skipped immigration and after our luggage was collected we were accompanied by a motorcycle cop with his siren on allowing us to pass all traffic! It was crazy. Also, my mom’s secretary talked about when he worked for a couple months in Europe (after she retired), when they found out he had been her personal secretary they were amazed and asked tons of questions. Anyone in a US office couldn’t care less.

A fear of Russia aggression in concentration of Arctic resources, yes. You pointed the most realistic source of tension I failed to think of right now: naval aggression. I think the biggest difference is they have a closer historical experience with Russian aggression and Scandinavians generally have a more common sense, less selfish or more humane attitude than those in Western Europe and the US. Anyway, seems like we basically agree. Scandinavians recognize the threat Russia presents whether it’s to European stability generally or an existential domestic threat.

  9532.  @jonsouth1545  It is one of his poorer analyses since it totally neglects atrophied European weapons productions capabilities and acts like GDP or PPP directly equates to production capacity. However, Europe still does have more aggregate production capacity than Russia. More importantly, it has the ability to scale up production capacity in less than a year if it really WANTS TO. We saw how quickly the usually slow moving Germany built enormous LNG plants when they had to if they wanted to ensure energy stability.

  9542. I’d love if Ukraine captured Moscow, but if you understand the situation at all, you’d realize Ukraine will, sadly, never get back Crimea. I think, if tactical nukes are not introduced, this war will end with Ukraine recovering about 65% of the territory they’ve lost since 2/24. It would mean Russia captured about 5% of Ukraine at the cost of revealing their conventional forces are a joke (instead of the second most powerful) and worse, ruining their economy for decades with energy sales falling off a cliff, their arms sales also falling off a cliff with many of their top exports like SAMs performing poorly, 90% of multinationals having pulled out for at least a decade (which was responsible for 35% of Russian jobs), years of crippled industry in every sector with limited access to western components and on and on. Trillions and trillions of dollars lost for a sliver of Ukraine.

This must be a Murdoch owned news station w/ -subtle hyping of Russia -NATO bashing/misrepresentation of their purpose, acting as if NATO is only the US when every big member is now increasing their NATO spending and taking it on the chin economically by supporting the Ukraine effort and paying bjg $ for American energy -Acting like Israel has been critical to Ukraine’s war efforts while overblowing the Iranian threat, etc. -Bashing Bjden This “favorite military advisor” is clearly either out of the loop on Ukraine (or purposely lying) if he thinks Ukraine will even come to the table, let alone agree to peace, if Russia ate controlling most or all of Donbas, Luhansk, Crimea and the coastline of southern Ukraine. Even more hilariously, he thinks Macron and Scholz will be the one to force them to the table when they’re two of the men who have, individually, done the least for Ukraine (it was Germany’s own congress who blasted Scholz for being tentative). It will be America and his own citizens who will be the main movers behind willingness to come to the table. He’s also high if he thinks NATO looks weak right now and they’d let Russia step on a NATO member without a response. He is either stupid or a Trump type in his politics if he’s using NATO not striking back against Russia for messing w/non-NATO members. The whole point of NATO is that they do not act outside the sphere of their own member states.

However, it’s correct to say they’ve now finally been coming on strong. However, the fact they weren’t meeting their NATO obligations has meant they haven’t had nearly enough equipment ready to supply Ukraine early on.

  9601. The Chinese eating everything is actually a super recent thing. It happened when Mao had the genius idea to kill every sparrow and bird in the country, which led to the insect population exploding and ruining every crop. Mass famine ensued and they had to resort to eat EVERYTHING. They got used to all sorts of gross stuff and after the famine abated, the population just now had an appetite for stuff we would never dream of eating. Some of it makes absolutely zero sense: like baby duck ovary lining. Why even go to that level? It’s like .000001 grams of food.

So, clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about. Did you expect them to include it here when this story has nothing to do with the US? It’s Russia and Ukraine, but you’re looking for excuses. “Oh, this is OK because some American soldiers did bad things in Iraq and Afghanistan!” BTW, America built tons of hospitals and infrastructure in both those countries. You think Russia is going to do the same? American officials don’t tell their soldiers to intentionally terrorize civilians or intentionally try to destroy schools, hospitals, power plants. Our war crimes were 95% done by bad soldiers. Russia orders them done. Many were punished. Not enough, but Russia doesn’t care at all and it’s illegal to even talk about it. In America, we make documentaries about bad things our army did. In Russia, you’d be put in prison or killed for doing that. So, yeah, maybe STFU.

  9636. The reason they’ve been hesitant to jail Trump is because of a broad worry that it will lead to basically civil war and wide unrest. That’s why I think the real goal is to make him legally ineligible to run for president again. And even then there’s a good chance you’ll see widespread unrest. It’s sort of in some ways why the West doesn’t send NATO into Ukraine. A fear of a destructive escalation.

  9639.  @EEX97623  Yeah, 20 mins in an ideal situation assuming they were there because they also have to do at least 5 mins planning they were there. 45 mins is highly believable if u look at it like this. -remember 911 calls don’t go to Rosgvardiya. It’d be hard to call 911 while you’re running for your life. So, let’s say 10 mins including a call to police, police ask dumb questions and then they call Rosgvardiya. -Most are there, but some are outside smoking or in bathroom, etc. It takes 5 mins on phone to get the facts + 5 mins to find and assemble. -5 minutes to put gear on -5 minutes to do a quick once over of diagram over all ingress/egress to building + side streets -5 minutes to fully load up gear into trucks and get on -7.5 minutes to push thru the chaos of traffic outside That’s about 40 mins. And then when you factor in they don’t really care about these people, could have easily been another 15.

  9660. Despite a GDP of just $66b vs France’s $2.98 trillion, Lithuania has has given more in military aid than France. €715 vs €533. 🇫🇷 should ashamed. Lithuania and the little Baltic countrie should be proud. More info: “According to the Kiel Institute, which tabulates military aid to Ukraine up to July 31, France lags behind many EU countries with a commitment of €533 million — barely 0.02 percent of GDP. In comparison, Germany sent €17 billion worth of military aid or 0.4 percent of GDP, and the U.K. has sent €6.6 billion or 0.23 percent of GDP. Eevn tiny Lithuania is far ahead at €715 million. However, French lawmakers contest the institute's methodology and estimate that French support actually amounts to €3.2 billion.”

Ukraine’s major reason for staying there is because of how many soldiers it’s costing Russia (I consider Wagner part of the RFAF, which is really made up of dozens of different poorly networked and coordinated individual branches, which results in Russia operating forces that are more akin to foreign allies operating in a single area than one military with 3 or 4 branches acting cohesively).

However, Yurt/yert is a widely accepted and known word in English and Russian literature at least (yurt is Russian in etymology I believe). So, it seems like a nitpick to assert he has misidentified the structure’s name. Might be more accurate to say “In Mongolia, nobody uses the term yurt. They say ger.” There are thousand of nouns that vary from the country of origin’s exact word for that object.

It’s basically made their tanks invulnerable to ATMG of all levels from Javelin to old school RPGs. Israel’s TROPHY system automatically detects both being painted and already on the way ordinance and fires a scatter shot of explosively formed projectiles in something like .01 seconds automatically. They’ve refused to share the tech so far. The automated active protection system destroys ATGMs, RPGs, anti-tank rockets and tank HEAT rounds using a small number of explosively formed projectiles to shred incoming threats before they hit the vehicle. Many times, Israeli tankers haven’t even noticed they were almost killed until they got out of the tank and noticed debris from the intercepted missiles, RPGs, etc.

He said he needs to work with both sides (because you don’t want one want side to perceive you as favoring the other party). He also did not say Zelensky should get involved in American politics itself (a poisoned chalice if there ever was one). He said that Zelensky should communicate Ukraine’s emotive story to the public. Everyone loves an underdog. Wilson himself says he is outside the mainstream of Republicans in the US. However, he knows what the mainstream as well as the extremes of the party want, how they communicate, etc.

Beyond their own culpability, its in their own self-interest simply as a deterrence of PRC, which will sink their economy(+the globe’s) if they invade 🇹🇼. 5:06 Absolutely, the Western media’s naive portrayal of him as tough but effective has always been absurd. Their new unshakably naïve narrative is that Russia is inexorable.

  9872.  @andarara-c1p  Very mature response. Anyway, you’re the one who needs to do some research, my friend. Do you think the authorities in Madrid are going to publicize any ops they can’t hide like arresting highly public, elected officials who support an innocuous non-binding, referendum on autonomy let alone independence? Especially when it involves missing FATCA to destroy a bank and allow the US to strip its assets?

  9875.  @andarara-c1p  Mature response and clearly you need to take your own suggestion and do some research. Do you think that the very public actions, like arresting elected officials in Barcelona for treason just because they supported holding an innocuous, non-binding referendum on autonomy or employing violent measures against peaceful protestors, is all Madrid is up to? No, intimidation,?extrajudicial killings and using fraud + corruption to exploit FATCA in order to get banks used by oppo demos shut down + stripped for assets by American authorities, and more are taking place. You think they’d publicize that? You’d probably support it though anyway.

Let’s talk about this “huge” budget. Their once strong PPI, has tanked, which means the money they’re spending won’t go half as far as it did a few years ago. 🇵🇱, unlike Russia, isn’t starting off with its cupboard basically empty and It has access to systems, platforms, etc. whose performance 🇷🇺 could only dream of.

  9878.  @longshanks7157  1: If Russia can stop corruption 🤣 2. Poland’s PPI is multiple times higher than France’s. So, they got a lot more for a lot less. Poland already is a European power by sheer volume of jets, tanks, MLRS, etc. I am not saying Poland is mightier than France. Simply that in a continent of mostly disarmed liberal democracies, their military is much bigger than basically every country aside from France.

  9896. While 🇷🇺’s military is hollow and inept + running low on equipment, Putin’s not half as desperate as he once was & one area where 🇷🇺 remains the gold standard is information warfare and they are definitely doing in this large part to try and break the will of Western leaders and voters (especially the U.S.) and/or in many cases, give right wing populists and some leftist politicians too, a narrative they already want to sing (I.E., Ukraine’s war is hopeless and Russia is too powerful or it’d cost too much to beat them). As we’ve seen, both the cost and Russian capacity arguments are ludicrous. Russia is drowning and for most of the major Western supporters, their aid has been at the scale of a rounding error. I’m assuming this is what Anders will say in the video. And, if so, it’s the right take. edit: after watching the video, the one area where I disagree with Anders is that the losses are good for their narrative and show resolve. However, in a way, he says this himself.

  9931. I think racing series will eventually figure out not to depend on manufacturers and realize they need to be focused on live entertainment quality and TV entertainment for fans rather than tenuous racing/road car tech relevancy. F1 in particular will stop relying on auto makers and realize they only need the best drivers in cars that are the fastest around a lap, make great noise and allow for close racing. For all the talk about F1 is only F1 if the tech is the most advanced, it has never been that. There’s always been tech they’ve avoided for the show. F1 is F1 it has the best drivers, most international schedule, Wild sounding and looking cars that over a lap are fastest. They’ll go back to independent makers whose only business is racing. The budgets will be smaller and there may even been a spec engine, but the chassis won’t be. I’d love to see that.

Meanwhile, they say nothing about how Ukraine has fully driven the remnants of the BS Fleet away and achieved the ability to sxport grain. Or how Russian has lost tens-of-thousands in a two-month period and around a thousand major systems (tanks, IFVs, APCs, TOS-1, MLRS, artillery systems, jets, helicopters, GBADs, etc., etc.)

  9952. The BMW that produced the E30 M3 might be compared to a Tesla or early Apple company. Its engineering nucleus’ formed in the ‘60s (hatching BMW’s best ever car (the 1600/2002). In the ‘70s, like a 2000s Google, they started getting all the best talent who saw the hardcore, fwd thinking engineering culture of those that made the 2002 and liberal corporate management. Then, being small and nimble, development led by hardcore engineers rather than bean counters, marketing men or a boardroom of dinosaurs, in turn both attracted and spawned a super enthusiastic, dedicated and skilled body of machinists, assemblymen, etc. that could be relied on to execute on building highly engineered cars with the necessary precision (there’s a great 1970s documentary inside the factory on YT that shows how high of a level they were operating on and how innovative the company was). It was this group that developed the company into icon it is and was responsible for all its greatest cars and the glory 80s- and 90s years. No surprise that its last great cars, the M Coupe, E46 M3 and E39 M5, were the last designed and developed by that group before most were gone into retirement or death.

While less fundamentally evil, DJT is much more harmful because he has the power to change the electorate itself in a terrible way. Mitch can only achieve his sick ends through legislation where he doesn’t even have a free hand. If Mitch had Trump’s popularity, the US would be ruined by now because he knows how to operate all the levers of power within government and legislation, which requires a tremendous amount of experience, knowledge and effort.

  9986.  @Briguy1027  This explains why (I pasted it) Layered Air Defense So, why do man-portable air defense systems act as a strategic constraint for tactical aviation? Let's first define the conceptual apparatus: MANPADS is a highly mobile compact short-range air defense system. It is generally accepted that, on average, weapons of this type are dangerous at a distance of up to 4 km and an altitude of up to 5.5 km (these are very average values, because everything depends on the generation of a particular MANPADS, its characteristics, operator training, firing position, etc.). d.). Why can a weapon with such seemingly modest characteristics somehow complicate the actions of tactical aviation? I have repeatedly written (and will write again and again) that the armed forces are a mechanism, and weapons systems are part of this mechanism, which, in interaction with each other, should create restrictions for the enemy at all levels, up to the strategic one. The closest example is the ongoing hostilities in Ukraine. The Ukrainian armed forces had 52 air defense divisions, however, ground-based air defense systems themselves have a rather low level of combat stability. Acting as a separate element of the system, they are unable to stop a powerful air offensive - aviation, due to its characteristics, has more options for adapting even in the face of fierce opposition from ground-based air defense. Under such conditions, the Russian Air Force (given their numerous technical limitations: the lack of a reconnaissance circuit, electronic warfare air platforms, effective high-precision weapons, training, doctrinal competence) would switch to using the decades-old practice of low-altitude breakthrough tactics - the most dangerous for ground-based air defense, whose radars are extremely limited detect targets in relative proximity to the terrain surface. Ultimately, after a few months of hostilities, Ukraine's air defense would be depleted, losing at least 55-65% of its pre-war strength. However, this did not happen. Why? Mass deliveries of MANPADS. The active saturation of the Ukrainian army with numerous anti-aircraft platoons did not give the Russian Air Force the opportunity to implement the tactics of low-altitude breakthroughs, while medium and high altitudes remained covered by both military and object air defense, which did not suffer serious losses. At one time, the United States faced a similar problem during the Vietnam War (super-saturation of the Vietnamese battle formations with anti-aircraft artillery, coupled with the constant threat from the S-75 air defense system) and Israel (the Yom Kippur War became an extremely difficult test for Israeli aviation, faced with a powerful combined defense from S-75 air defense systems, covered by a large number of Shilka ZSUs). MANPADS perform the same role that small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery previously performed - they cover low altitudes, making any air operations to search for and destroy stationary air defense systems extremely risky, which, accordingly, in the system does not give aviation the opportunity to operate at an operational depth, limiting its capabilities only to combat work directly on the front line in the “hit-retreat” mode (this is what we have been observing for the last 2-2.5 months). Summing up, the scheme can be described as follows: ➖ SAMs do not allow aviation to operate freely at medium and high altitudes, forcing it to low ones; ➖ Saturation of MANPADS troops does not allow aviation to operate at altitudes up to 5.5 km, limits it in low-altitude maneuvers and does not allow carrying out operations to destroy air defense systems without a high degree of risk. I note that MANPADS, for all their merits (compactness, mobility and ease of development - for example, Stinger, although not perfect, but you can master it in a couple of lessons) do not replace anti-aircraft artillery - it is still more than necessary and relevant as part of battle formations , although it requires qualified military personnel, well-established logistics and has a higher cost. We will talk about the existing methods of confronting layered air defense next time

  9987.  @Briguy1027  To wayyyy oversimplify what the Americans did: in Iraq, they used HIMARS to destroyed the enemy’s anti-air artillery + a combo of HIMARS and anti-radiation missiles to destroy the enemy’s counter radar batteries, AA radars, SAMs, etc. before the planes start running CAS and endless bombing sorties. Russia doesn’t have the combination of AWACS, AR missiles and essentially know how to effectively do that. And with saturation of MANPADS, CAS (close air support) is basically impossible for both sides, but especially Russia.

But when adjusted for inflations, past platforms were usually as or even more expensive. As long as the platform is going to be used for many decades, it is usually makes sense to start new ones. However, unlike an airframe, the basic tank chassis isn’t going to be holding back progress and new capabilities much at all. So, there’s no reason we should be designing new tanks from scratch unless they cannot accommodate major tech advances. I am sure at some point in the near future, material sciences are going to require a whole new platform for be created.

  10104.  @cannowuppass8214  lol,the stability of the world is our business, lackwit. If we had allowed Russia to take Ukraine, China would have been encouraged to try and take Taiwan, which would destroy the world economy and result in a crazy expensive war to boot. In your world, America can’t two things at the same time. BTW, the amount of money we’ve spent on Ukraine is negligible and equivalent to less than 1% of the annual defense budget, which w/spending adjustments to account for inflation, is more than $1 trillion FY 2023. It’s even less when you realize most of what was sent was bought + paid for during Reagan’s admin, was never going to be used and, In fact, was going to cost us hundreds of millions in disposal expenses. We’d already destroyed hundreds of millions of dollars in DPICM ammo. So, while the DoD assigns a dollar value of $90b+ to our aid, the weapons were dead weight costing us $. So, in exchange for a few billion and zero dead Americans, we’ve turned 🇷🇺’s arsenal + soldiers into scrap and deterred 🇨🇳 at the same time. A pretty great ROI.

  10106.  @cannowuppass8214  Yes, Iraq and the occupation of Afghanistan were self-inflicted quagmires of mind boggling cost. Ukraine, however, is inexpensive, requires zero 🇺🇸soldiers and is finally a black & white war with evil on one side and innocent on the other. Just because those wars were unnecessary doesn’t mean we should forever stay out of all conflicts. It’d be like if we did nothing about Hitler because of our unjust war in the Philippines. To me, it sounds like you’re coming from a place of good intentions, but don’t have most of the facts and are basing your opinion on the assumption that we’re involved in this conflict for the same sort of misguided reasons we went to Iraq and Afghanistan.

  10107.  @TheMazza595  God, you’re dense. And utterly clueless to boot. They export the plane. So, there are tons of foreign users. This data is widely available. Besides, Russia always EXAGGERATES the performance and capabilities of their equipment. They’re not going to say an airframe only lasts 2,000 hours if it lasts 4,000 or 8,000. First of all, it makes them look bad and second of all it would cost them sales and their arms industry is their second biggest source of income.

They’ve already had more than 100 aircraft shot down. They can get helicopters close without being detected, but to have an impact they need to get within close range of Ukrainian soldiers and then are easily shot down with MANPADS. If they could make a major impact they would have done so before when Ukraine had a 90% less robust integrated air defense system and thousands of MANPADS, dozens of highly mobile SAMs like the Avengers (SAMs built on Humvees).

It shows he still has no idea how bad things are and how much is still being hidden from him. Moreover, In 2021, he also issued an ultimatum demanding NATO withdraw back to its 1997 borders and pledge to never give membership to Ukraine,m and Georgia or allow the Baltics to re-enter + that he would determine where they could place their bases in Europe. Basically, he was always looking for a conflict. This alone is reason enough why the West should know that they cannot include Putin in any peace plan and therefore the only option is to wait until he is no longer in power to formally cement any agreement. It also shows vastly he overestimated his military strength and his energy leverage.

  10186. It will because the more incidents like this and the longer this war goes on the longer the interval between both the war ending and them being able to resume production will be, the longer before sanctions are lifted and they get access to what they need to resume that production…and the longer before international aero safety bodies needed for certifications will begin working with them, the longer before countries are willing to break the taboo and begin doing business with Russia again and so on and so on. By that time, the aircraft will already have more competition and have lost any advantages of being a new plane (e.g., features that may have been new to the market when it was supposed to begin deliveries will already be in any competitor aircraft). Finally, all of this discounts issues like worries about the stability of the Russian government and whether something else might happen that will suddenly cut off production of aircraft and parts, which is a huge issue when you’re about to spend billions and plan your business around a certain type of aircraft.

  10217. Come on, buddy. #1: Kadyrov is a fool, but not such a fool he thinks he could ever seize the Kremlin. Even in utter chaos, Russians, let alone the elites, would never allow a Muslim let alone a Chechen. However, Putin has clearly lost control of Kadyrov who largely withholds his army from the fight and whose people flout his authority. #2: Contrary to hopes (including mine), there is currently no serious threat to Putin’s power. It is true that this could change quickly as authoritarian regimes are brittle and when they unravel it often happens seemingly all at once. If Russia is dumb enough to try a large offensive (I think they’ll confine any big push to Donetsk) and lose big time, something in the system might snap and cost Putin his head. #3: Shoigu has little reason to be terrified of Prigozhin who has recently been warned by Putin to tone it down. Putin doesn’t want anyone to have too much power and counts loyalty above everything and Shoigu has been very loyal and is among Putin’s most trusted allies.

  10224. @Mand Not true. The best military pilots for sure. There’s tons of filters to wash out those who aren’t. There are plenty of dodo brains who are pilots, but yes, far fewer than among the gen pop.

  10225. It shows how disconnected Putin is. Getting less troops killed would be more popular than taking a town most Russians aren’t aware exists.

  10226. This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

  10227. Tesla’s stock value = proof of how stupid the average person is. To them, it totally makes sense it is valued at more than BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Mercedes, Nissan, Rivian, Subaru, Porsche & VW COMBINED.

  10228. TAM should obviously have hired a security guard for each flight if this sort of passenger behavior was a common occurrence and not 1-in-a-1,000 event. Their pilot greeting policy is the type of decision a corporate office totally disconnected from reality makes. The pilots would have been best advised to ignore it completely. How would the company know and if they were that short staffed on pilots unlikely to take action.

  10229. Despite wide spread skepticism? Dogs have been used for a while to help diabetics know it’s time for their insulin, find tumors, etc.

  10230. While I don’t believe this site had anything to do with aliens and I scoff at 99% of popular and widely discussed conspiracy theories, but I’m extremely confident the US and likely a few other governments have recovered alien tech (although from what I understand, most of it is in the hands of private contractors). If you actually dig, there’s just an unbelievable amount of highly credible people who are or were inside the government as well as credible people who were never inside the gov. that have seen or interacted with IACs or even EBEs.

  10232. The Russians have been violating captured Ukrainians by shoving bats up the you know where wrapped in barbed wire for FUN.

  10233.  @dairebulson7122  A sensible and realistic take.

  10236.  @THETRUTH-BR  Assange is narcissistic criminal who released info with an intentional agenda and in ways that could get people killed. Snowden blew the whistle on illegal surveillance programs (and, yes, they WERE illegal), but did not release any information himself directly. He gave it to established newspapers who ran their releases by the DoD, Pentagon, etc. and asked if the docs could endanger any lives before publishing. So, don’t try and compare the two.

  10237. Many generals have said that, but yes, always good to leave your opponent somewhere to rout.

  10238. He just has no idea what he’s talking about. He probably doesn’t even realize that offering negotiations would only make Russia attack harder. He likely doesn’t even know what Russia is doing to Ukraine. Don’t forget, Italy has its own MAGA party and I’m guessing most of the people around the pope are pretty conservative.

  10240. By far and on most topics. That’s cause the news media has made the mistaken assumption we have no attention. They say we don’t and then report it as fact.

  10241.  @mamamoonwolf9198 Does a reverse should replacement require a reverse mortgage as payment?

  10245. At least you can’t blame the US military industrial complex for off’ing this particular British born legend.

  10246. Why do body builders wear tight shirts? Because Chuck Norris makes them.

  10247. I’m sure the nearly 40yo ATACMS tech will provide some amazing revelations. They don’t need/use any frequencies they can discover for jamming either. So, it doesn’t matter they’ve got one.

  10248. No matter how much that weird, bug eyed looking guy makes, he’ll always be cursed with that face.

  10249.  @luffebassen  Yeah, except there’s men in that armor and Russia is losing far more men attacking while inching forward. It’s true that if Ukraine both doesn’t mobilize more men and continues to get anemic support, they will be at risk of a massive frontline collapse. But we’re not there yet.

  10250.  @luffebassen  And out it comes. A z-bot spouting hilariously ridiculous Putin lies. So, yeah, no need to take your comment seriously.

  10253. You would have thought Russia would have learned its lesson when they got absolutely destroyed invading Chechnya. A country that basically didn’t even have an army.

  10254. I thank Ukraine more for being the country paying in blood to finally neuter Putin.

  10255. That’s me. I ate 67 pop tarts in the last ten days and they’re not even good.
