  1. This is another reason Bill Gates impresses (apart from his technical and business acumen). He is actively trying to do some good.

  2. One of the better politicians out there right now. Very logical fella.
    195
  3. Its clear nuclear weapons are great for deterring direct conflict with other nuclear nations ..... so far. Can't blame Iran for trying considering the geopolitical situation. Will it be better for the world? Probably not. Can they be stopped? Also probably not.
    134
  4. Excellent work. As a person that builds I have an apprehension with the more powerful tools at times. Once it kicks once I get paranoid.
    131
  5. He has his view and it was known. It was better to consider it and negotiate than ignore him. Now the flames are being stoked for profit. Sadly this does not seem like it will end soon or good for the world.
    121
  6. I have not seen a single high ranking officer from Ukraine die. Those guys are immortal.
    103
  7. I disagree with Boris. There have been quite a few female leaders that would put men to shame. Thatcher comes to mind.
    103
  8. Very clear common sense speech. Sad how stupid Europe has gotten.
    93
  9. The definition of stupidity. Five rounds of sanctions failed so lets try a sixth.
    82
  10. Russia knows they will not surrender. They just playing the game to show they gave every opportunity. If there are really foreign fighters there it can be very embarrassing especially if they talk.
    81
  11. Imagine Boris Johnson comparing people to animals. That fella should really look in the mirror.
    76
  12. Erdogan is just being practical. Turkey can afford to get the best of both worlds due to it geographic location.
    73
  13. ​ @louisbaker4362 exactly. Germany was and continues to be a big player in Europe but was never really a player on the world forum like Britain and France Additionally I would say most European countries recognise they are no longer what they once were and do not stand a chance alone. That's the basis for the EU. Britain is clearly not catching that though hence Brexit.
    69
  14. Kudos to Wallace for speaking his mind. Maybe many have the same opinion but they cannot speak for fear of repercussions. That's good democracy for you.
    59
  15. Now that is a good question. How do we determine which is more important? If the brain is you then its definitely a body transplant.
    58
  16. G7 should keep their shirts on less they embarrass themselves. Someone really needs to tell Boris he should stop making jokes about other people. He really needs to look in the mirror.
    51
  17. Creative accounting. Consider depreciated value.
    48
  18. dodgy dave you are your brain. Everything else is life support for your brain.
    43
  19. "Unforeseen consequences" no this is the stupidity of EU. Action without thought. Amazing lack of common sense.
    42
  20.  @gdewyg  Russia is protecting the eastern Ukrainian people so its doing good too. See how easy that argument is to make?
    39
  21. Bound to happen as NATO expands. Too many competing interest. Further Turkey is not a US puppet so they are quite difficult to control.
    38
  22. It's not Russians alone. Everyone with a dodgy past or from a country that is not friendly to the west will pull their money out. London will hurt from this too. Should be a serious shift internationally in the next few years.
    38
  23.  @gaetanomaximus8650  they definitely have the same morals. Money and power is their God and they will do whatever is needed to keep as much as possible.
    37
  24. But what do we really know of their culture? It works for them. China has progressed extremely fast. Faster than any nation I could think of. And really the agencies complaining are jealous of what the Chinese get away with. None of them are them are honourable enough to cast the first, second or millionth stone. Anyway I would not fit into the Chinese system so I am quite happy to be outside where I can post comments any way I like.
    35
  25. Turkey does that kind of negotiation all the time so they should not be upset when someone does it to them.
    35
  26. Sad when the word diversity comes into admission. It should be academic qualifications irrespective. Preferential treatment is wrong regardless of which side it favours.
    35
  27. My respect for Europeans ability to think before acting has taken a serious hit. I am really not convinced that they can act fast enough to save their economies to maintain their present way of life.
    35
  28. Hmmm. Zelensky in trouble then.
    34
  29. They are so far down the ideology rabbit hole that they cannot find the exit.
    34
  30. Sadly mines are a cheap method or securing large areas of land so no one is going to stop using them. Its a serious problem all over the world. Maybe some of that big military budget can go into developing a sophisticated system for identification and disposal.
    33
  31. He has multiple flaws in his analyses. This one was glaring.
    33
  32. Sounded suspiciously like the guy was offering the pig the sausage for a lick not a chew.
    32
  33. Yup I just skipped too.
    30
  34. At least people starting to say the truth. Zelensky cannot accept it. More voices will rise up as time goes by.
    30
  35. Oh oh. Poor US not happy when someone else does what it does. Freedom of navigation exercises sounds like a good plan too.
    30
  36. Because sanctions are very effective. And the solution to Iran supplying Russia with the drones was more sanctions. Iranians must be laughing at how smart the Europeans are.
    29
  37. Damn this is the earliest I have ever been to a Weeb video.
    29
  38. Most corny jokes don't bring a smile to my face but this one did.
    28
  39. If they shot down all those drones and missiles what exactly hit Ukraine?
    28
  40. Is this similar to what was used to protect the pentagon at the time of 9/11? If so its effectiveness here will open a lot a questions.
    28
  41. Yup Ukraine is now yesterday's news. Support will decrease.
    28
  42. The only thing that should concern the sanctioning nations is if its reaching their ports. If it is its really easy for them to put in better measures. If the rest of the world wants to buy oil from Russia or Iran so be it. Stop the bullying.
    28
  43. Zelensky has to be right. I really doubt Russia can make a radio controlled boat with explosives. Right now they are just past the capacity to make shovels. Sad when he has to try every angle to boost morale.
    28
  44. Seems they are not laughing anymore.
    27
  45. About time somebody makes a move in Kherson. Lets see hot it pans out.
    27
  46. Unilaterally maybe they are but combined they make some really dumb decisions.
    27
  47.  @deker0954  but Russia is not for sale. Ukraine leadership is and you have purchased that "private" army. You pay them to fight and give them intel and weapons. They function for you just like Wagner does for Russia.
    26
  48. Its showing. People are loosing focus on Ukraine. They could not bully their way into this meeting.
    26
  49. Europe was a powder keg. It would have blown sooner or later. At least it happened before nuclear weapons were on the scene. A few years more and Germany might have been able to deliver that to the USA.
    26
  50. Nah Germany should have to pay. They dumb enough not to investigate. Let them pay.
    26
  51. That's the best theory. I really hate that on windows 10 updates.
    24
  52. I don't normally comment but your theories are getting out there. Stick to the advances on the front.
    24
  53. So what happens when Russia builds up forces in Kherson and Ukraine does not have the forces to oppose them? I think Russia is well aware of the strategy but they are aiming for a go at Odesa or at least more of the south. Remember ultimately Russia is aiming to make Ukraine landlocked and to get to Transnistria.
    24
  54. War is unforgiving. Those who make mistakes pay for them dearly.
    24
  55.  @skeletonkey6733  why would you link Iran and Syria? We will see if Russia falls first. I seriously doubt it. Without Russia Syria will fall because of US backing for rebels. The amount of "good" US does around the world is amazing. That's why everyone in the world just love them.
    23
  56. Agreed. They should be named especially if its an institution.
    22
  57. Well Estonia send all of your to make up the pace and quantity. For a small relatively insignificant country you sure have a loud bark.
    22
  58.  @pauljames5079  a war requires three things, equipment, manpower and intelligence. NATO is providing the equipment and intelligence. Ukraine is providing the manpower. NATO is the senior partner in that relationship.
    22
  59. Easy way to finish the war.Put Putin ans Zelensky in as room alone and see who survives the fight. Whomever wins gets what they demanded.
    22
  60. Use your own weapons then you can make your own rules.
    22
  61. I feel the 9th will be anticlimactic. So much hype. I figure just some rhetoric and that's it.
    22
  62. That interview really takes the courageous Zelensky image down a few notches. So Germany is finally admitting the destruction of Nord stream is by one of its allies. Nice. They are starting to grow some balls. Nothing wrong with helping Ukraine but they should not be forced and should not have to lie about things like Nord Stream if they do not want to.
    22
  63. That's their level of thinking. How can Russia even try to talk to these people?
    22
  64.  @mastermariner490  instead of repeating something that does not make sense do some numbers. Ukraine started with over 400,000 and Russia supposedly with 150,000 Supposedly 32,000 russians dead and likely a few times that injured badly so they cannot continue. How many troops does Russia have now? Should be less than 50,000 if those claims by Ukraine are right. At 10:1 that leaves Ukraine with 5,000 troops? Down from 400,000?
    22
  65. China is not that concerned about money alone. Its a long game. Plus they import food so reduced payments is always a possibility.
    21
  66. What a mess. This seems to be going nowhere fast. Maybe back to the table is a good idea.
    21
  67. Clearly you never heard about DJI
    21
  68. Amusing how the people who were laughing at Russia's change of serving age are not having the same problems with the 60 year limit for Ukraine. Seems they not out in numbers calling for Zelensky to go to the front lines like they were for Putin and Lavrov.
    20
  69.  @bryanjackson8917  My guess would be its Russian but as for verification that is impossible to be independent. All the "independent" organizations are staffed with people from the countries fighting Russia. Political pressure means no one will release anything that does not "help the cause".
    20
  70. Lot better than the switchblade crap.
    20
  71. Business is business even if it is with dumb people. It benefits the Russian people. That does not stop Putin and the rest of us from laughing at them though.
    20
  72. With friends like that who needs enemies. Remember that EU when you are cold this winter.
    20
  73. Ukraine is loosing the on the eastern front slowly. Very slowly but its only going one direction. Clearly Russia is stronger at present.
    20
  74. He understood. He tried to throw a tantrum and intimidate and they set him straight. He has no choice but to continue fighting. Boxed himself in so he cannot negotiate.
    19
  75.  @wolfvale7863  and maybe you missed the text on sanctions not being lifted after the earthquake. Maybe you missed the legit government did not invite them. Maybe you missed the rest of the arab nations told the US we not interested in your games anymore. We recognise Asad. But the US persists. That's fine. But no one condemns. Just shows how many hypocrites there are. There is no way to spin this. The US will leave like they did in Afghanistan.
    19
  76. Sensible unbiased analysis. Keep up the good work.
    19
  77. There is no winning this but Ukraine refuses to negotiate. Sure they want to be in a better position before going to the table but their planned offensive seems to be going nowhere so every day they are in a worst position. Territorial concessions seem inevitable.
    19
  78. Again I note Germany is really in an unfortunate position with the friends it has. Unfortunately it has no place to go to get new friends. Lets see if Scholz grew any balls for 2023.
    19
  79. When grown men act like kids posting pics this is what happens.
    18
  80. Everywhere problems are popping up. Seems the world is getting really unstable.
    18
  81. That's just the way war goes. You fire at someone and they fire back at you. Russia complaining makes little sense.
    17
  82. He is too far gone to understand reality.
    17
  83.  @BurntheKremlin966  so US wasn't the aggressor in Afghanistan and Iraq? Where were all you righteous folks. Clearly no understanding on how this works.
    17
  84. I doubt Poland will be attacked. Maybe those forward forces are meant to deal with weapons shipment as soon as the cross the Polish border.
    17
  85. Does seem like US and Poland are saying it did not come from Russian territory. Who stands to gain from a missile hitting Poland? Surely one missile does not help Russia overrun Poland. It risks NATO coming in which Russia cannot handle so its of no benefit to them. Does it benefit Ukraine? Yes. Anger NATO so more supplies at minimum. Limited entry into the war at maximum (though unlikely for one missile) Seems like something that is consistent with Zelensky's personality. Lets see how this plays out.
    16
  86. I think we are all interested, Hopefully we can find a true source of information. Ukraine and Russia lies too much.
    16
  87. Should be interesting when Iran pushes back. Straight of Hormuz could be shut. Lots of ramifications.
    15
  88. Seems like it was his last play. How long would his body guards held off giving him up?
    15
  89. You are one of the few on YT that really understand the change of US presidents don't mean that much when it comes to certain things. Many had false hopes that Trump will change things. His approach is different but the goal is still the same.
    15
  90. The world is moving on so the NATO table is not the only table. That should be obvious by now. The US is fighting tooth and nail to keep its ability to tax the world with its reserve currency. That is fast changing. It all depends on which side you look at things from.
    15
  91. Zelensky has a big problem if senior people in his administration realise the hopelessness of the situation and is not following his marching orders. Top people do not work alone. There must be an entire network.
    15
  92. Been saying this for a while. The population is unaware of what is going on and the implications. Its amazing that I work with senior professionals and possibly none of them has ever even heard of this. The watch me like I am crazy when I explain it will all change very soon.
    14
  93.  @ilFrancotti  good point but I am not sure how much trade they do with the commonwealth. The channel TLDR news did some analysis on this recently but I can't recall the numbers off the top of my head.
    14
  94. Time for China to pick their location and time for the fight. Better for them if its in Ukraine than at their doorstep.
    14
  95. Christian Spangler yup. It would explain how the pig got hold of fingers and his sausage. I don't see how he thought that was a good idea though.
    14
  96. Russia demonstrates a new rocket that can route via the south pole and hit any city in the world delivering a nuclear payload. US shows a bomb that kills a single ship. Talk about a bringing a knife to a gun fight.
    14
  97. For any of this to make sense we need to understand how the structure is set up and how many Russian generals there are. With that info its possible to see how bad this is hurting Russia.
    14
  98. I bumped my toe yesterday. I think its Russia's fault to distract from the war in Ukraine.
    14
  99. Stop complaining. Shoot it down if it comes in your airspace. If not just observe.
    14
  100. Only 9th sanction package? Damn you would have thought they would have realised that this does not work by now.
    14
  101. It is quite likely you are being lied to about the performance. One would think Turkey's military experts know more than any of us here in the comments section.
    14
  102. Imagine make enough money off lies to pay lawyers to defend against said lies. It would be an absolute shame if he has enough money to decline that free room and board.
    13
  103. I cannot see why a debate should be rescheduled and why this denial is considered anything big. Get on with it.
    13
  104. With friends like this Germany is really in a bind. They shaming them, want reparations, blow up the gas line.
    13
  105. Can you not tell Russia about the challengers? They will hunt them and get at least one. Then the British will be most upset.
    13
  106. I will not buy a Apple product due to their closed architecture. I won't support that. We moved away from that decades ago.
    13
  107. This looks like a nice toy. If it was an older tank fitted with remote driving capability it would probably be useful.
    13
  108. What amuses me is YT's continued propagation of highly suspect adds while it tries to hold the position of integrity and morality on comments.
    13
  109. Showing why his government never gave weapons and trying to push some public sentiment against Israel getting involved. It's all about different views on the security of Israel. Russia as a partial friend can reign in Iran. Russia as an enemy can assist Iran.
    13
  110. Some objectivity here. Sweden and Finland was practically already in NATO in all but name. Further no mechanized army can roll over from Finland to Russia. Really not the same case with Ukraine.
    13
  111. Every time the momentum is being lost in the West something comes up that they can rally around. So choreographed.
    13
  112. Social distancing is impossible to maintain. Sooner or later people are going to get smart enough to realise they will die from the lock down faster than the virus.
    13
  113. Spot on with respect to the assets. Recently did a course on international law and what you have spoken about is well documented.
    12
  114. retrorestore its really great of him. Too many on YouTube are in for the money alone. To me integrity is a lot more important and he has a lot of that.
    12
  115. Probably its best to keep your head down if you are in Russia. Rising to the top seems deadly.
    12
  116. When dealing with sheep the narrative does not need to make sense. It just needs to toe the line.
    12
  117.  @Somali1971  Turkey should continue doing what its doing right now, playing both sides for its interest.
    12
  118. There goes the grain deal.
    12
  119. Ukraine is doomed if their patron stops supporting. I doubt they will though but the amounts seems to be dwindling.
    12
  120. Germany cannot supply Ukraine which is practically next door. Showing 13 jets is not going to have any impact on China's opinion.
    11
  121.  China🤮 Corona virus😷  so why is Belarus better off than Ukraine by far? China better off than most countries and still progressing rapidly. You do not like dictators. That's your preference. Don't try to tell others how they should act. BTW I don't want to be under a dictatorship either but I stick out of trying to control what others do. Let the people of a country work that out for themselves.
    11
  122. About time the media and people start calling out Zelensky for being a bully.
    11
  123. Damn who would believe the Uk media is lying?
    11
  124. Hard to investigate when a person is that high up that he controls the investigation.
    11
  125. Israel is in a hard place. West on one side and consequences in its neighbourhood on the other. Israel does not have clean hands so they should be careful to point.
    11
  126. If they have this why are they not using it? Seems more likely they have a prototype.
    11
  127. Can't beat customer service. Simple as that. Sadly people do not see Apple for what it is.
    11
  128. If its all lies about the biological weapons (which it probably is) then when not let it be openly investigated and debunked? Rejecting the proposal makes it look like there is something to hide.
    11
  129. Kaja Kallus too. Not to Trump but to the US administration.
    11
  130. Zelensky's begging has infected the entire country. Now everyone is slowly becoming a beggar.
    11
  131.  @jeffreyexposito3803  so if its junk why is the US stressed with Turkey purchasing? That makes no sense. How is it leverage?
    11
  132. Shouldn't we be concerned? If he is going down he may not be as concerned about unleashing nukes.
    11
  133.  @mastermariner490  so what do we think the real numbers facing off today are? Honest question. I find the sources suspect since the numbers tend to drift too often.
    11
  134. 6 out of 40,000 seems like a damn good ratio. I would have expected a lot more escapees.
    11
  135. Interesting story. Life is complex. War much more so.
    10
  136. ​ Bad Boy you mean similar to how the west got to their developed state? They went through that phase too some decades ago. The west hardly has the high ground here since the companies in the west that moved there production to China, India and other developing economies are well aware of all those ills but choose to pay the people a pittance. That's why production is cheap there. Why its not done in the west anymore. Suicide nets come to mind. It takes the west demanding better and paying a little more for it to get fixed. China is moving quickly though and there is a good chance it will seriously rival the west in the next two decades.
    10
  137. Agreed fully. I thought the attack on Kiev was misguided. I did not expect that. I cannot see Putin backing down with nothing to show so unless he get Donbas soon I think he will escalate.
    10
  138.  @WheresTheSauce  because he needs to keep ramping it up to keep getting weapons and sanctions. If nothing dramatic happens his talking streak dies.
    10
  139. Ukrainians should realise what caused this. Zelensky is not getting toys so he pushed Russia for a retaliation. Now he has some damage and can do a new begging rounds.
    10
  140. But Ukraine isn't a small guy in this war. A war requires money, intelligence, equipment and personnel. All Ukraine provides is personnel and they have a sizeable population. Everything else is provided by NATO and friends and they are much bigger than Russia. From that standpoint Russia might be the small guy in the ring.
    10
  141. It really didn't seem that significant of a package. The weapon supplies seem to be drying up. We will see how it goes in a few months.
    10
  142. Dima is still looking for the North Korean troops. He accepts statements too easily.
    10
  143. He is happy to fire from far at persons but troubled when they fire back at him? Smh. Edit: This comment is irrespective of what he claimed to have done in this war.
    10
  144.  @zasmirko100  but we still do not know if they are running out of precise missiles. They definitely don't need to use them most of the time.
    10
  145. "Lasers fire high temperature beams..." Hmm lots of research went into this video for sure.
    10
  146. Maybe the US needs to acknowledge reality. Russia is not going to back out of this one. Unless they want to directly engage Russia will continue dragging this out. They have the time. Ukraine does not.
    10
  147. I feel they may be interested in the kitten bot.
    10
  148. EU is full of emotional characters who are not the smartest. It clearly shows with this gas situation. Sadly this will not help with their slow but inevitable decline.
    10
  149. Nope.
    10
  150. Thats what they said 50 years ago.
    10
  151. They need one more shovel and Ukraine would be in trouble.
    10
  152. Yup because they understand the implications and they know Zelensky isnt smart enough to follow their rules so its best to not give him those longer range weapons.
    10
  153. Every day its something different with Azovstal.
    10
  154.  @alexfortin7209  if they have that many shells how is Russia firing 10 to 1 on them? I can't believe Russia has over 2 million shells in that size range at their disposal on the front right now.
    10
  155. Nice thought experiment but now back to reality.
    9
  156. As I said yesterday Germany does not want to get in the war but US, EU and Zelensky are being bullies. Scholz will get lambasted if he says no so he says yes and just does not act fast at all. If Germany is not interested in helping why are they being forced? Leave them alone.
    9
  157. Ukraine should go for the bridge. Russia should retaliate if they succeed and take out all the utilities they can that is serving Kyiv.
    9
  158. And how will that win the media war?
    9
  159.  @eugensimion5354  rhetoric does not necessarily lead to action. If that was the case there would be no Ukraine by now. Anyway I do not think Israel or the west can stop Iran. China and Russia can probably coax them. Probably just tell them not to test openly.
    9
  160. It would be really funny if Europe cannot copy Iranian drones considering how much wreckage they have.
    9
  161. Now that would have been WWIII.
    9
  162. The question is how many were sent. This is turning out to be a numbers game.
    9
  163. He clearly isn't right in the head.
    9
  164. Ukraine alone cannot win this battle and I think its clear to everyone who what to look independently at the situation.
    9
  165. Ukraine has done the same against civilian populations. This is covered by Patrick Lancaster. He actually goes in the areas and interviews people instead of sitting in countries far away and making claims. BTW that statement is not targeted at you but at the so called experts.
    9
  166. Seems like a reasonable analysis.
    9
  167. Poland just said the truth but apparently that is not acceptable to some.
    9
  168.  @Handy1s  and the US does not put nukes in other countries? Anyway send nukes to Ukraine lets see how this all pans out.
    9
  169. Putin didn't bluff. He just raised his middle finger at the west.
    9
  170. Much easier to get voted in when the base level is easy to manipulate. Lower education and pay guarantees that. And that's just a piece of the problem.
    9
  171. Zelensky's usefulness is coming to an end. If he does not bend on his stance with negotiations his allies will organise to have him removed.
    9
  172. More importantly when are they going to wake up and do something about American global bullying.
    9
  173. Seems Dima is behind Weeb on some updates more often now.
    9
  174. And a lot more outside those circles too. Lots of people just fed up of US bullying. They will support anyone with balls to take them on.
    9
  175. Actually its EU that has the ego issue. Putin is a very calculating guy. Whether his calculations are going to pan out is another story.
    9
  176. The best policy is to work with both for the benefit of your country. I am sure that is what Israel would do. Amusing though when you have a kid that say "I won't play with you if you talk to him". Must really be tiring to deal with that kid all the time.
    9
  177. Or the business model could be funding from a 3 letter agency.
    9
  178. More comprehensive that the one by Visual Politik but I do not see the channels as competing but rather complimenting. I trust this channel more though.
    8
  179. Its almost like they are baiting them to send in planes.
    8
  180. No big deal. They know what they signed up to to get rich. Live by the sword...
    8
  181. Ukraine is screwed whichever way you swing it. It was dumb to go to war with Russia. Should have made a deal in Turkey.
    8
  182.  @mikexstad1121  many of the islands are very mountainous so they are not going to be underwater. The main cities and ports will be in trouble but most of the land will be fine. Its a matter of relocation.
    8
  183.  @kacperwalkowiak2564  clearly that guy is confused. People do not sue those helping them.
    8
  184. Great bringing this to our attention. I like it. Apple is definitely not a team player. Congrats too on a video that's under 20 min.
    8
  185. I guess recession is coming for all of us.
    8
  186. And what exactly would the west use? They produce little now. They are on the decline. Grasping for ways to curb China.
    8
  187. Its getting more complex. Lets see what Trump's funding ban do both in Ukraine and in EU.
    8
  188. Stupid numbers and people believe it. Does say a lot about the ability of people in NATO countries to think independently.
    8
  189. Turkey is worth more than 5 Swedens and Finlands combined. Very high strategic value.
    8
  190. You had a choice?
    8
  191. And for Russia to retaliate and help Iran with its nuclear programme. Who do you think will loose more? Israel is a little smarter than that I think.
    8
  192. He is not being supplied because they need to get rid of him. I am sure his popularity in Russia has risen to levels that the top is not comfortable with.
    8
  193.  @kris8742  no because they are not saying anything on their losses and the western population seems to be happy with biased reporting.
    8
  194.  @jesan733  then Zelensky should throw one to get Trump to come to Kiev instead.
    8
  195.  @panzerviiimaus1581  its a completely different situation with Ukraine. I really cannot see Russia attacking Finland. The issue with joining is they are putting a bullseye on themselves if NATO puts anything serious there.
    8
  196. These drones look cool to race. Reminds me of a Star Wars scene. Yeah I know they will not be sold on the civilian market but maybe in time it will reach.
    8
  197.  @d.mennace8425  but this is not the other side. This is another western source.
    8
  198. But we have to keep trying to highlight the flaws in the system so people do not get scammed and crowdfunding does not die. Its a great thing. We need to try to kick the parasites and crooks out.
    8
  199.  @badhero88  really seems people do not understand the world. Nothing low tech from many suppliers can realistically be sanctioned.
    8
  200. Russia cannot be "prosecuted". I would suggest some reading on international law.
    8
  201. I figure you meant the Baltic states. That's what I call them.
    8
  202. It's just candidate status. It will be politically incorrect for any nation to vote against that so I expect they all will. Yes is will have no effect on the war.
    8
  203. Agreed. I was going to make the same comment but you covered it perfectly.
    7
  204. I am past university days some time now too. Do agree that this kind of explanations would have really helped. I would think that most here would at some time be classified as a nerd.
    7
  205. It could be years if Ukraine has to wait on EU's bureaucracy.
    7
  206.  @ExpatZ266  do they sell them? Anyway bad for UK morale. They really think their armour is great but they are not willing to send the tanks to the front line to test that theory.
    7
  207. No he is smarter than the rest. Why waste the tanks. Germany has seen the writing on the wall and they would like to keep good relations with Russia when this is over. They need the gas to keep their industry more profitable.
    7
  208. Definitely wont have to worry about fatigue. Russia will take out all the major infrastructure and there will be no choice but surrender for Ukraine. Many more will die. Thankfully the leaders of these nations are quite aware of this.
    7
  209. Yup they gave them tanks for PR only.
    7
  210. These islands are too small to matter in the global scheme. If Cuba, Haiti and DR is included with Caricom then we have a sizeable enough number of people and territory to look at. Probably even stick in USVI and BVI.
    7
  211.  @rasheedh7043  I forgot to add war requires money. Again NATO is fully financing the Ukraine economy to keep the country afloat. 3 out of the 4 requirements come from NATO. People have to be brainwashed to say NATO is not in this war.
    7
  212. Destin is smartish, von Braun is a genius. Big difference.
    7
  213. I think they are better off asking for shovels.
    7
  214. Lots of denials when they are telling Zelensky he has to negotiate. Of course Zelensky saw this and made a law against it with Putin at least. If he does not play ball he will be out sooner or later.
    7
  215.  @zacksulics8021  did Russia give you that timeline? Reference? If not you are parroting what the west is saying and pretending you are making sense.
    7
  216.  @schmidcl77  because they are dodgy.
    7
  217. Hilarious. It's a war. All fair game except unarmed civilians.
    7
  218. Well I guess that's the best spit they can put on it if they are blaming Ukraine. If it's revealed as deliberate then public support for Zelensky will drop. It would be wise for westerners to separate Zelensky and his tactics from support for Ukraine.
    7
  219. Estonia pretending their history does not exist at this stage is a bit childish.
    7
  220. It is incremental..... but its every day.
    7
  221.  @phantom96aggie00  agreed. Russia clearly stated its position going in and from that perspective they are not doing too bad.
    7
  222.  @D-Pocalypse  so what did these experts think was going to happen? They didn't realise the terrain and shrubs before now and warn Ukraine to to try the offensive? Post failure excuses.
    7
  223. Many nations are guilty of terrible actions. People just choose to see those that they do not like in a bad light and ignore the actions of those that they do like.
    7
  224. Not going to help at all so its just for optics then. Really who is going to train troops on this if its only 2 tanks?
    7
  225. Or maybe Zelensky should beg the US to give the poor babies in Azovstal US citizenship so Russia cant capture them.
    7
  226.  @tordsteiro9838  so you are saying that Russia has not figured out the bridge problem and is sending troops with no plan. I doubt that. It cannot be because Zelensky says there is going to be an offensive. No one believes he has any sense.
    7
  227. When has he proven to be sensible? All BS and PR from day 1.
    7
  228. The Americans need to copy this design. Its way better than their switchblade.
    7
  229. Western "intelligence" proves how intelligent they are.
    7
  230. Good video. Interesting how little Western Europe understands though. Sad really.
    7
  231. Agreed. MIT does great work but recently I see a lot of half baked ideas being publicized. Seems social media thinking is slipping.
    7
  232. I skip any interview with him about 2 months after the war began. He is a very annoying speaker.
    7
  233.  @GATOxNORTE  very likely an inferior version but considering the amount of resources that go in its a huge saving in time and money for them.
    7
  234. It does look suspiciously like they are considering joining this war.
    7
  235. We know the MO by now. Try conventional and when that fails bring in the sparklers. Guess they really want that town.
    7
  236. Nicely timed video for me. These days I am looking into AC design.
    7
  237. We will use it for all sides started off saying. That's just human nature.
    7
  238. Stay neutral and they have done. Threats by the west is distasteful.
    7
  239. Its called politics. Of course they will deny. It gives their trading partners plausible deniability.
    6
  240.  @skeletonkey6733  I am sure Iran is shaking in its boots. Maybe Ukraine will beg for weapons to attack them 😂
    6
  241. @Reader Stuff not destroyed but take a severe hit. If Germany sees a recession that would probably translate to much of Europe. Then you have the states like Greece. Serious economic problems but wants to buy F35 jets. Who will bail them out of their financial mismanagement this time? The EU currency can take a serious hit.
    6
  242.  @dogsguardian7267  no but US is being vindictive about incidents some 60 years ago. Still punishing Cuba. No point in Cuba dealing with the US or begging to get out of US bad books. Time to move on and work with the rest of the world who is willing to work with them. Should be interesting. Sure the US will cry to the high heavens.
    6
  243. Missed that. That's not too good for the US.
    6
  244. Perun is reasonable good on crunching numbers but not too good at drawing conclusions. At least that is how he comes across to me. Also he is heavily biased in his conclusions but that works for most of the crowd he is selling his videos to.
    6
  245. They won't. It would harm their relationship with Saudi and Israel.
    6
  246. Convenient when those "good men" are not on the front dying.
    6
  247. And of course Russia, China and North Korea will bow down because the US sent one sub.
    6
  248.  @Kededian  true. Desperation and madness.
    6
  249. For being neural?
    6
  250. China needs to use Russia like the US is using Ukraine.
    6
  251. First set of gas cuts. Maybe more to come.At least Putin was nice enough to let Europe get through winter.
    6
  252. Go for it. They hit the bridge and got a vicious response. Hit Moscow and they will find out the hard way that its not a good plan.
    6
  253.  @saucyinnit8799  Germany gets pressured. Since the beginning of the war every time Germany says no they change the position after a few days. I have no idea what they use as leverage on Germany but it always works.
    6
  254. Much less biased today. What is missing is the likely escalation by Russia to counter the HIMARS. Also a prediction of when or if the Russian offensive will restart.
    6
  255.  @rilmehakonen9688  EU did that to itself. Stupid ideas are more dangerous that conventional weapons.
    6
  256. It does not seem like Russia needs much help. What can China offer that they do not have?
    6
  257. Exactly. Civilians have taken up arms and are fighting.
    6
  258.  @ctibpo991  exactly.
    6
  259. So what does Ukraine have going for it then?
    6
  260. Oh boy they are really scraping for weapons. Things must be difficult with the stockpiles.
    6
  261. Psychologically they have an advantage on their next deployment.
    6
  262. Someone should warn the US about warning people.
    6
  263. Zelensky needs to migrate to Israel so he can be in the limelight.
    6
  264. Seems they have a lot of patience. They warned about Ukraine for years then acted. Better if they just keep warning.
    6
  265.  @jimmiller5600  atually Finland is nothing like Ukraine. "Possible NATO candidate?" Easy NATO candidate. Very western aligned. Completely different from Ukraine. Finland has no Russian diaspora of significance. Finland was not part of USSR Finland has no easy access to Russia compared to Ukraine. The border exist but my understanding is the road network is very limited. Compare that to open plains. Moldova has a separatist Russian population that is much more aligned with Russia. Why are they not allowed self determination? "Please reply -- Do all the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) members have veto power like NATO?" Now that is a really poor argument. How they set their organisation is their business. Just like NATO not having a clear path to deal with issues like Turkey not wanting Finaland and Sweden. That is a major failing in their structure but its their business. You seem to have the impression that everyone should have a say. Nothing in the world works like that. Try doing that at any real job or in the army and see what happens.
    6
  266.  @jimmiller5600  clearly you do not comprehend. Read over my first comment. If you cannot catch then there is no point explaining more. This is as simple minded as the comment that NATO is only on 6% of Russia's border.
    6
  267.  @jansolo4824  many of whom will never return. Also add those consolidated in the new Russian oblast. That's the true loss of people for Ukraine as a result of this war.
    6
  268. And Putin should not negotiate with idiots.
    6
  269. My guess is just more of "its going to plan" and "don't try and stop me".
    6
  270.  @ceu160193  I could see why the Ukranians did not see this coming. Imagine going in to a line with residual gas breathing through tanks for many many hours. I have not seen anything that explains how they got out. Maybe through a pigging bay but hot does one open that from the inside? If the pipe was cut imagine the risk of explosion.
    6
  271.  @FiveLiver  imagine the amount of schools, hospitals and maternity hospitals there are in a country with declining birth rates. Seems its every third building.
    6
  272. Morally Sane which part of the heart has any memory capabilities?
    6
  273. He knows they are just bullshitting him. Poor fella starting to realise its not going to end well and he is getting bitter.
    6
  274.  Michelle   no good move. Especially Poland. Lets see how it plays out.
    6
  275.  @joesilver4376  maybe but he is doomed without Putin's support anyway. He needs Russian forces if things go bad at home. He needs a place to go too if he is forced out. He is constrained and has to tow the line.
    6
  276. This is inevitable. I am sure newer designs of batteries and methods of containment can be sorted. Compartmentalize with steel. Weight is not a big issue at sea and either way replacing lead acid means there is some weight savings due to the change out.
    6
  277. This channel is very pro Ukrainian. He does not even question why Ukraine needs 500,000 more. Why around 10 mobilizations. He constantly states Russia has high losses but admits the ratio of shells is 5 to 1. None of those make logical sense. If Ukraine mobilises 500,000 that will likely be the last it can get.
    6
  278.  @whatdoesntkillyoumakesyous6707  and the US is know for all kinds of blackmails. Look at Cuba.
    6
  279.  @kingofsarcasm9794  exactly. Don't get me wrong. I believe the bridge is a fair target but they must be willing to accept the retaliation.
    6
  280. I am betting if they ever show the demographic of their viewers it probably wont be as much American as people think. Its easy in this case since Musk is in America but the reason I think they go for America so much is the availability of statistics in English.
    6
  281.  @alexgorecki7282  "foreign volunteer fighters need to be paid" so they are not volunteers then? Mercenaries?
    6
  282. @Stefan no where to spend the money means no immediate need for it in foreign denominations. The payment in rubles is making a statement. Time to push back against the USD and Euro. I hope more countries push back. I am fed up of being bullied by america.
    6
  283. Well we will see how it performs in the field.
    6
  284.  @durianjaykin3576  they do but they are passive right now. China has expansionist tendencies though so they can be a problem when they get bigger.
    6
  285. Ukraine really needs to repair the power infrastructure because we all know Russia will be back to trying to destroying them soon enough.
    6
  286.  @esauchakunta2853  I assume you are not a native english speaker.
    6
  287.  @artiefakt4402  of course they will go for more and China will balance it based on their resources. Its way better for Argentina to go the Chinese route than the NATO route considering their past with UK.
    5
  288. No one is interested in an independent investigation of nord stream either. Says a lot.
    5
  289.  @rickthompson1422  early in 2023 I said that's the only way to sort out this war. Made that comment here on the Duran.
    5
  290. I'm sure it was fun but no way I'm doing all that. I had a company car many years ago that I could not mess with. I ended up buying a RF transmitter and a MP3 player. The RF transmitter needed batteries so I took a phone charger and did some dodgy connections to use that instead. I will admit the quality was not the best but not a single screw or trim was harmed in the process.
    5
  291. Why should the US be interfering in another country's affairs?
    5
  292. Neither. He is on Turkey's side.
    5
  293. I think you are right. They really had logistics and over confidence issues in the beginning. Time will tell if they have restructured themselves properly.
    5
  294. Talk is cheap. Look at the nations that actually took action. Those are the only ones who are against Russia.
    5
  295. Well its an interesting economics experiment. Lets see how those sanctions play out in the short term and long term.
    5
  296.  @cyberfunk3793  no that's the rest of the world with a little common sense. Just the sanctioning countries cannot catch it.
    5
  297. The level of bias in this video is sad.
    5
  298. He is just mocking them. Imagine people coming to your home and lecturing you.
    5
  299. The problem is Zelensky. His attitude to negotiation and law against it. Let him continue and the US will organise to have him removed by any means necessary. Of course he is aware of that. I think he is purging to make sure there are no contenders.
    5
  300.  @mariopohland1863  when you are begging anyone that can hand you something is your friend.
    5
  301. And of course Russia would just sit and take it. Amusing the level of thinking.
    5
  302. Fine nylon mesh would do fine.
    5
  303. Exactly.
    5
  304. So youtube will demonitize you for talking about the conflict. Hmmm that seems odd considering how many channels cover it. Youtube wont promote it. Hmmm you seem to have enough subscribers. I come when I see new video because I am subscribed. Your reasoning for someone to join Nebula is questionable at best. How does that make your opinionated videos seem?
    5
  305. "antiquated geopolitical thinking" so why is Cuba still under embargo? That's how geopolitics works. I really hope Zelensky and the west get some sense before Ukraine is flattened. All parties would have some share of the blame.
    5
  306. Exactly.
    5
  307. Messed up considering the risks these people are taking on the seas for a better life.
    5
  308.  @China_Corona_Party  US can't build a mouse that's why they buy them from China. Figure out the analogy.
    5
  309. So how did he get voted in then?
    5
  310. Exactly my thoughts. Knock out a few substations.
    5
  311.  @XFizzlepop-Berrytwist  let me ask how is it fair for the US to be able to print USD at will that can be traded internationally when no other nation can do that? How is it fair for Russia and China trading out to have to use USD? Its not about fair here. Its about US using a stick (biggest economy) to and nations assessing their own position. Fall in line or move away slowly. Lets see what will happen.
    5
  312. So what happens if they install light weight mirrors on the drones? Maybe some plastic diffuser to scatter the light? I'm sure there is more to in than "foil coating" the drones but I am betting the countermeasure will be out soon.
    5
  313.  @hillsane9262  1st, 3rd or 10th world it turned out to be a smart move. Seems the 1st world equipment is stumped by those mines.
    5
  314.  @a6893_  Lesson learnt. Never underestimate a comedian.
    5
  315. Well I guess some of these weapons if this continues escalating.
    5
  316. Substantial protest. Another EU government in trouble. More to come as it gets colder.
    5
  317. Sad really when both sides are using the same techniques but only one gets condemned. They cannot defend Donbas by spreading those mines in civilian areas so this is not about who invaded. I am betting many of the commenters here can't see this though. Really sad.
    5
  318. Begging is doing better than working. Imagine Ukraine has more foreign reserves than it ever had by pure begging.
    5
  319. What countries are the person making Amnesty International from and where do they get their funding? This lady comes across as really fake. Just to be clear I don't know the facts and am not making a pronouncement on that building at all.
    5
  320. They need some common sense. Send that first.
    5
  321. Protest of "hundreds" in a population of almost 7 million. That tells you that those people are the outliers. Not the average person or the protest would have been a lot bigger.
    5
  322.  @Conan-ny1um  but doesn't India buy oil from Iran? If they are already called a terrorist state then why are those conditions not in place now?
    5
  323.  @AJ-oy8dv  yeah you are probably right. They are smart enough to pay for others to fight and die.
    5
  324. Seems like they are trying to convince themselves more than anything else.
    5
  325.  @georgegreen4819  NATO is hard pressed to do much more. A direct conflict with Russia could lead to nuclear war. Ukraine is not worth that to anyone.
    5
  326. In 2015. Does that matter in 2023? Whatever the issue was it would have been properly sorted by now.
    5
  327.  @francoisleveille409  oh my. That is what you understood from the comment. Maybe you should have read it to mean no problem like that isn't solved in 7 years. I am sure the tank has other issues. Before mass production it makes sense to put it on the field and get some real world data. There may be lots more wrong.
    5
  328.  user-mk7xq4oc5s  really I think China is #2. They are learning and adapting just like Ukraine. Good experience for them to improve. Ask yourself honestly which other army could have gone up against a NATO supplied, funded, and equipped army from a country with 44 million population. Put some names of countries that could have done it, US and China excluded.
    5
  329.  @2772giggs  I am sure they would want to get their hands on the Russian natural resources but I can't see this leading to regime change.
    5
  330. Exactly. The correct timing was when Russia left Kyiv and was mobilising for the Donbas assault. Unfortunately for Zelensky is does not seem like it will get better if he is really loosing 1000 troops a day. Small amounts of better machinery will not give him any edge.
    5
  331. He want all that to be supplied too.
    5
  332. Seems like a useless toy. It didn't do anything useful.
    5
  333. There are videos from Ukrainians saying less time than that. There are videos on pro Ukrainian channels that show how recruits are "encouraged". Both sides are having a hard time. Anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.
    5
  334. Because YT tells them the demographic of the viewers. They tailor for maximum views and income. It it got balanced they would loose a lot of viewers who would go to channels that are more in line with their view of how the war should be going.
    5
  335. I am still not convinced Taiwan is worth the trouble to China at this moment but the clock is ticking and time to get Taiwan is running out fast.
    5
  336. Actually they made a better move than trusting US a second time.
    5
  337. Russia does not forgive. He is a dead man walking. That is just the reality.
    5
  338. Paid for part in crypto.....hmmm Come on he must have know this was shady business.
    5
  339.  @GATOxNORTE  its the same issue with China. They have such a large manufacturing base that they can churn out tens of thousands of low quality items and just overwhelm any system with shear numbers.
    5
  340.  @veekwok5611  no it isn't recognised as such.
    5
  341. That statement only makes sense if it was a battle in the middle of the sea. The Russian Navy is firing on land and the land based systems are firing back.
    5
  342.  @moa3008  it would be booby trapped. Losses would be great. No need to loose soldiers when munitions can do the job over time.
    5
  343. There you go trying to make sense. People don't want to hear that. Ukraine will run out of everything soon enough.
    5
  344. The signs are there that sooner or later Russia will have to escalate to tactical weapons. If they strike Moscow expect a serious retaliation on Kyiv. .
    5
  345. Don't get in a fight you cannot support yourself. Should have taken the deal in Istanbul.
    5
  346. They probably should if the soldiers are not sharp enough using them. Its for their own good.
    5
  347.  @jeffreyexposito3803  so the US is a little child in the playground. "Johnny if you talk to Sue I will not lend you my toys."
    5
  348.  @teroxstep  the long table is funny for sure. Azov was supposedly volunteers who signed up for this. No pity. If they were conscripts then maybe I can understand.
    5
  349.  @letMeSayThatInIrish  NATO can afford to send more equipment but who will use it? Training takes time. Getting competent takes even more time. The willing have all gone to war already. Now they are dragging the unwilling off the streets. Realistically they are out of trained manpower.
    5
  350. Its a war. They do not need any rights to attack each other.
    5
  351. Low blow as usual. They cannot help themselves.
    5
  352. Does not seem like they were smart enough to think that far ahead.
    5
  353.  @John-hu9qg  exactly. Sad the level of the leaders. This is just common sense.
    5
  354. You sure he's not in Russia with Snowden?
    4
  355.  @Colnefix  more than a year ago they said new Russian troops were only getting shovels.
    4
  356. Sooner or later they will have no option and then the fun begins.
    4
  357. Legal issues. I figure that's the reason they did not just use a powder charge.
    4
  358. @ must be disheartening considering where they have reached now. Most of us that comment here see it from a much more sterile perspective. We have never been there and will likely never go in the future.
    4
  359.  @HingerlAlois  Everyone looses but at least Russia only has one economy to manage. Germany and France have all the fiscally irresponsible countries in the south to worry about too. The ones that always need a bailout. The whole financial system could end up in jeopardy.
    4
  360. I find this quite amusing. The chips in these devices are not slightly sophisticated. It really easy to just but them off ebay for $1 to $2 USD. Why would anyone buy an appliance to get the chip. There are also some technical reasons this does not work. Guess its possible to sell any story on the internet.
    4
  361.  @jaykolinsky7103  actually the professor is the one that is seeing this right. If this drift is not stopped now it will be impossible in the future.
    4
  362.  @tanker00v25  Zelensky is a bully. He tries to intimidate nations to support. Glad someone had the balls to call him out. Note this has nothing to do with a country supporting Ukraine. It's about Zelensky's tone and rhetoric.
    4
  363. Clearly you have no idea how a power grid works or what is involved in repair.
    4
  364. I doubt. Poland seems to be the most aggressive to Russia.
    4
  365.  @Roruoni  unfortunately a lot of the US big companies are financed in large part by military and security contracts. It just not in their interest to have peace. This war has been very good for the US. Not so much for Europe. Not good for Russia. Absolutely terrible for Ukraine. Look at who wins and you can tell who is pulling the strings.
    4
  366.  @karlhulme8014  these people are too brainwashed to be embarrassed.
    4
  367. The same can be said for US and even more so.
    4
  368. These people are begging and arrogant on top of that. Shameful someone does not put them in their place.
    4
  369.  @Matt1975ism  you really aren't too sharp, are you? Same dumb response to anyone who is not in agreement with your view.
    4
  370. My guess would be to keep its existence in doubt. If nothing came down the road then the Russian would have searched hard for the tunnel.
    4
  371.  @indrahaseo  and does Russian looses have to do with people loosing interest in Ukraine on the international stage?
    4
  372.  @TheGreatAmphibian  Denys is such coward. Strapped young man. If he believes so much he should really go back and enlist.
    4
  373.  @sonwukong7077  maybe but that does not mean he has to be at the front lines. Give the man his due credit.
    4
  374. Yeah he has been the most straight forward person so far.
    4
  375.  @larrycable1948  I am not disputing that Ukraine has a much lower population than Russia but its still a significant population and largely the number of combatants on both sides have been close enough. Ukraine is definitely struggling now with the old guys and people rebelling openly against conscription. A lot of those financial figures are fudged. They US finds and extra billion here and there when they fudge over those numbers. Those don't take into account the intelligence that Ukraine gets. There is a high cost to Starlink, military grade photos, drone reconnaissance etc. Russia has to pay for all of that on its dime. Ukraine gets all of that free from a much wealthier backing group. And we haven't gotten to the famous umpteen financial sanctions and cut off from markets that were relied upon since the fall of the Soviet empire. So the way I see it Ukraine is not the small guy in the room.
    4
  376. Only 200,000? You sure? Maybe you want the whole army Progozhin.
    4
  377. Sometimes you have to give it a shot and sometimes you got to know when its a buss and stop. I think the Ukrainians are struggling with that last part.
    4
  378.  @fightingstreet23  I get Germany's reluctance but I feel they are being pushed every time. That's really not fair to them. I think Zelensky can be much more polite. People like Macron and Erdogan can probably reach through to Putin. Those are the people we should be supporting, not pulling down. Calling names will not get this war resolved.
    4
  379. By December it will be "will the world economy ever recover to pre pandemic levels."
    4
  380. I am not sure how much corruption they have but I can tell you for sure they really pay too much for basic designs. I have worked with US consultants (non military) so I can tell you its mad.
    4
  381. Everyone will condemn but no one will do much more than they are doing now. Just like the vote in the UN.
    4
  382. Dima woke up from that dream.
    4
  383. So if a country has the option of getting a loan from China or one from IMF which do you think they should choose?
    4
  384.  @rickh3714  it makes no sense for Russia or Wagner to do this. Why waste perfectly good missile on a useless Polish village as opposed to a nice Ukrainian substation?
    4
  385. I was thinking the exact same thing just before I put on this video.
    4
  386.  @oneManDev  the world dynamics was different. China was not mature enought to contest US. US was not stirring up trouble in its back yard. Russia was not in the same place it is today. You can bet the US would be a lot more stressed than the war in Iraq.
    4
  387.  @oneManDev  Russia is balancing cooperating with Iran and not upsetting the balance with Israel too much right now. China is still looking at how it deals with the US interference in Taiwan which is internationally recognised as part of China officially but a separate entity unofficially. Neither needs to make a move right now. No need to. If US starts a war with Iran the situation changes. Then you will see them get in just to put some additional pressure on the US just as the US has done to them. Looks like US and Russia is cutting a deal on the Ukraine war. If so it will fizzle out soon enough.
    4
  388. And start WWIII. What a dumb idea.
    4
  389. Russia is fighting a really tough battle here. 144M to 44M so Ukraine in not "very small" as its made out to be. All of Nato supplying weapons. It's difficult to defend when its unknown which tech is being faced Repairs and Logistics by Nato Ban on supply to Russia making it hard to repair / replace Ban on banks Ban on shipping And most importantly significant the intelligence on military movements
    4
  390. Over many years.
    4
  391. It really seems stupid whichever way you think about it.
    4
  392. Amusing.
    4
  393. That's what I thought too. They know something the rest of us don't. I'd be concerned.
    4
  394. Bakmut is not liberated, its annihilated.
    4
  395.  @ooooooo6038  they weren't trying to keep the enemy in place. If they were they would have attacked the east heavily at the time. It was a play to put pressure on the capital to force the negotiations in their favour. It almost worked. Zelensky started saying Ukraine would not join NATO. Very likely the US stepped in an told him to shut up. They would provide support. That would explain the small amount of forces deployed in Kyiv. It was never possible to take that city with those forces.
    4
  396. I enjoyed this video. While I do disassemble car parts I doubt I would have ever gotten my hands on an entire fuel tank and associated systems.
    4
  397. Nah Russia lost 20 million and Ukraine only lost 2 soldiers. Ukraine is winning a million to 1. They haven't lost any equipment either. Zelensky just has a begging addiction.
    4
  398. Great timing. I just bought a replacement 8GB ram 3 days ago so I was looking to do some research and educate myself on the differences.
    4
  399. Almost none will flee or their families will pay.
    4
  400. Probably. They deserve their own song.
    4
  401.  @GwynBleys  this one looks like a propaganda machine.
    4
  402. And throws a tantrum rolling on the floor if he does not get it.
    4
  403. From day 1 that was the sensible thing to do. Take out the infrastructure and all bridges across the dnieper river. Call it a war and mobilise properly. If they are not going to take the war serious then they should pack up and go home.
    4
  404.  @dallaw9238  so the Ukraine army sits in buildings and the Russian army tries to work around them?
    4
  405. Everybody wants a piece of the money. Business is good.
    4
  406. What a dumb proposal by Zelensky. Why would Russia withdraw for Christmas?
    4
  407. Master stroke. This is really going to cause the cracks to start to show.
    4
  408.  @Chalimanga  if only he had some balls.
    4
  409. Yeah they are flying right up in the US back yard.
    4
  410. Gone are the days when the British media was the gold standard. Sad part is with all the internet access that exists people actually believe the lies.
    4
  411. Best comment I read in a long time. Had me rolling.
    4
  412. As you saw the majority of the help is weapons so its directly to the military industrial complex. Its actually the lobbyist who will benefit. Who cares what Ukraine does with it. Its about money not principles.
    4
  413.  @banteo  so why no one supplied Iraq or Afghanistan? Some serious double standards and you talking about using brains.
    4
  414.  @Mwwwwwwwwe  hitting the bridge would be great. About time Russia gets something to push them.
    4
  415.  @nebulousisgod  well there were other folks like Steve Jobs that didn't go down this road. He did not have to but he did and keeps actively trying.
    4
  416.  @lossers5950  its not pegged to gold anymore. Trillions and trillions more than the gold can back.
    4
  417. Don't need explosives in the dummies. Just some fuel.
    4
  418.  @ROrneli  you might be right but I see it the other way. If they loose Odesa the forces will be thoroughly demoralised. Zelensky will talk a lot but the men on the ground will be broken. Ukraine will have to come to the table. Plus there is Transnistria.
    4
  419. Lancet drone seems to be the most effective in the war so far.
    4
  420.  @joek600  this is why I read the comments. Sometimes stories are shared that adds another dimension not covered anywhere else.
    4
  421. 63 sounds iffy. What about seriously wounded?
    4
  422.  @_Templar  the chip industry will not survive a war. Taiwan will likely scuttle the factories and not pass on the IP. China can survive a war but it kill their long term goals of challenging the US in Asia. Its better to loose Taiwan and continue on their upward path if it comes to that. Best option is keep the status quo. It has been working for both groups.
    4
  423.  @sogerc1  realistically there would have been treated as if they were in NATO anyway. If this war was with Finland I suspect most if not all of NATO would have sent troops.
    4
  424. A bit of a difference in the scale of the parties involved. Not really sure how much they can draw from the Ukraine Russia war.
    4
  425. Its not only that clause that Greece needs to be mindful of. Russia is in a position to influence Turkey a little. At a time when Erdogan is using very strong rhetoric they need all the allies they can get.
    4
  426. Not slightly balanced. Heavily biased.
    4
  427.  @antyspi4466  well said. People are not catching this. The battlefield can never be leveled by raising the stakes. Russia will just bring out bigger guns till it reaches tactical nukes.
    4
  428. Nervous. I hope they give him a few more chances to present. I think he will be ok once he calms down.
    4
  429. That would require more work on the part of the presenters and possibly lead to a more boring video that is not as suitable for their audience. It's so much easier to say washing machines are used for chips.
    4
  430.  @jtf2dan  it says they may be getting version 1. The pentagon was not a civilian aircraft either. The pictures clearly show the scale and shape of the opening and it does not match an aircraft.
    4
  431. Turkey is actually lot more sensible that the entire EU combined. They have taken practical stances and achieved more results.
    4
  432. ​ @pjhgerlach  irrelevant who started when we are talking about the day to day occurrences in the war. BTW do you apply that some logic when the US invaded Iraq or Afghanistan? I would really like to see Russia and China provide free military equipment to the next nation US invades.
    4
  433. This has gone down well for Putin. He was able to diffuse this with minimal effort and in an exceedingly short time. Once Putin said no Progozhin backed down. If Prigozhin behaves he may live but if he continues to stir up trouble he may have an accident.
    4
  434. dodgy dave maybe. Maybe we all need head transplants :-)
    4
  435. Well said.
    4
  436.  @djjon1388  Thatcher was controversial. Many respected her and many did not.
    4
  437. Belarus has already paid that price. No incentive for them not to enter the war. The persons in the west that were drafting the sanctions werent too smart.
    4
  438.  @khiem1939  lol. That is so much crap its not funny. Anyone can buy the chips used in those devices by the thousands online. They are not sophisticated or military grade.
    4
  439. And who exactly has these Seals you are talking about?
    4
  440. And invite in UN. Why would they do that if they blew up the place themselves? Outside experts is not a good plan if its a coverup.
    4
  441.  @loorobert6430  forget winter. Speculation alone will cause the price to rise. Russia will make more selling less gas right now.
    4
  442.  @nicocrestmere9688  but you haven't broken Russia properly and Europe is now in trouble. Shame on them though for being that stupid.
    4
  443.  @cameronpitcher4024  but in a war you need weapons, money, intelligence and manpower. Ukraine is not fighting this war. They only provide people like Wagner did. The masters are the ones providing all the rest. Works out their size and economy and then compare that to Russia and you would see a different calculation. To any sane person Russia has done well against NATO plus a few more.
    4
  444. More importantly if the nation in question is against any of their allies or interest expect problems getting spares.
    4
  445. That annoyed me too. Its simple illustrative graphics so I thought they should have gotten it right.
    4
  446.  @dioghaltasfoirneartach7258  NATO provides money, weapons and intelligence. All Ukraine provides is the dumb labour so yes NATO is in this war. Everyone outside of NATO countries see it for what it is.
    4
  447. A few nice guys in one steel factory begging for help. Mariupol has fallen a long time now.
    4
  448. Russia has an opportunity to prove they can destroy shipments of weapons. Lets see how good their systems are.
    4
  449.  @pjhgerlach  I believe if Liz gets the top post she will push as hard as Boris but if its Rishi who knows.
    4
  450. Put up some links to back your argument. The switchblade from the US was completely useless. They drop grenades from some drones. Those seem ok against imobilised targets. Seems like they have a few FPV also. Really the lancet has come out way above.
    4
  451. They need a yes man like Jens. He will try to justify anything in a press conference. No respect for him.
    4
  452.  @lifessogood2995  EU has no choice now wrt energy. They made poor decisions with respect to how they dealt with the war. If you look back at the videos at the beginning of the war many pro EU commenters had similar misconstrued ideas that Russia has no choice but to continue supplying EU because they need the money. EU thought it had Russia by the balls but it turns out its the other way around. At least for now.
    4
  453. Agreed but I do not think they are complaining. They are making a case of being attacked just in case they invade.
    4
  454. Keep raising the stakes in this game of chicken. Lets see who back down first.
    3
  455. Something is definitely wrong with him.
    3
  456.  @starscream4652  so of proximity is not an issue why was there a crisis over placing missiles in Cuba. I think you really missed the point mate.
    3
  457. My take is the Russians are awaiting the counter attack in Bakmut. That will allow them to destroy a lot more Ukrainian forces. If they crush Bakmut too fast then they unblocking will not happen and all the equipment in Chasiv Yar will just be deployed elsewhere making it more difficult to destroy.
    3
  458. Many years ago I used this type of motor in a project. They are really powerful and cheap if purchased used. It wasn;t that complicated. Straight drive with the work gear. No encoder or rubber damper.
    3
  459. Since its next to to the sea I wonder if its possible to blast a ditch allowing the seawater into the tunnel system. If some of it floods then at least its known where the remaining fighters will be.
    3
  460. This is concerning. If he is this hell bent on a showdown we are all in trouble. All sides really know how to keep raising the stakes in this game.
    3
  461. Philippines complaining and US criticizing is not going to change a single thing.
    3
  462. Zelensky is an idiot. Even his own people find it hard to put up with him.
    3
  463. Is that due process? That's not the democratic way.
    3
  464. I though Russia is too weak to beat Ukraine. How will it reach Germany without going through NATO? Your comment really makes no sense.
    3
  465.  @TheWaynester101  I didn't expect him to go past Donbas but now that he has attacked outside of that area I agree with you. He cannot expect to keep Ukraine but he might as well put a pro Russian leader.
    3
  466. Their opinion is irrelevant. They are just the workforce. The money, intelligence and weapons comes from others. Remove any or all three and Ukraine falls in weeks at most. Let me make it simpler to understand. Have you ever asked a beggar what he wants?
    3
  467.  @Jorge.A.12  "occupied a country" but no international outcry. Illegally invaded Iraq. Again no issue. Hypocrisy at its best.
    3
  468.  @jeppanl  it was in the video. Watch it over.
    3
  469.  @jeppanl  I could swear I saw that but when I look back I am not seeing it either.
    3
  470. Absolute best system that I can think of. Seems they were able to at least limit the amount of nepotism and cronyism that plagues much of the world. Even more amazing when their background is considered.
    3
  471. More money than that was spent in Ukraine. They can find money if they want to.
    3
  472. That's a good and bad thing. Quickly gets the best performer in the correct position. On the other hand no one get time to learn on the job for too long.
    3
  473. David R I could not agree more.
    3
  474. Kyle true but give then 20 years and they just might have enough and advanced significantly to be a concern.
    3
  475. This is one of the bigger mistakes made by the west. They have now forced Russia to focus on their fledgling airline industry. Soon western planes will be replaced with Russian ones. They need to possibly team up with the Chinese and look to markets like those in Africa. Once the planes are not flying to Western airports or their of allies they should be fine. Supply chains and support needs to be set up and safety is critical. China has some inroads in Africa that they can possibly capitalise on. If they do this right in 10 years they will eat up some of Boeing and Airbus market share.
    3
  476.  @thenonameguy7756  Lamp of Knowledge has a long video.
    3
  477.  @Winter5731  exactly. I was going to make the same comment on shelling and rockets.
    3
  478. Ukraine should worry about the training of the people you drag off the streets as opposed to the training the Russian prisoners get. They are lucky its not more.
    3
  479.  @savagedabs8536  so why doesn't NATO go in then? At best you can make a half a.. excuse. Actions speak a lot louder than words.
    3
  480. No one is dumb enough to try that.
    3
  481.  @kwamesimmons9510  Rowley's position was sensible but then me got a bit carried away and though he was more important that he is. That led to US putting him in his place and ignoring him. It would be interesting though to analyse the global camps on Venezuela, their stakes in the game and the influence they carry.
    3
  482.  @DarkRoomAmbience  I am not saying it NATO vs Russia. I am saying its Ukraine and NATO vs Russia. Zelensky has constantly referred to his partners in the war. Whom do you thin he is taking about? This is very openly known. Seems NATO citizens are sleep walking. They don't seem to understand or acknowledge what is going on.
    3
  483.  @glenemma1  interesting point. Its surely different times ahead. Previously my interest in this kind of thing was low and the access to information limited. Now I am more interested in these topics and channels like this and TLDR provide the access so I am poised to take in the events as they unfold.
    3
  484.  Kaiser Wilhelm II  I would venture to say yes. The rest of Europe is seeing it. For some reason the UK is not. I don't see how this can go good for the UK in the long term.
    3
  485. Exactly. The simplification is grossly flawed. Democracy by its nature favours the bottom of the pyramid since its where the most votes comes from. Its also the least educated and poorest. The ones who are most likely to favour benefit today over growth tomorrow.
    3
  486. "All we can really do in the meantime is enjoy the ride" Now that is the best statement I heard since this madness started.
    3
  487. I almost clicked off. Thought the title was wrong.
    3
  488. Excellent work. 2 years ago I opened a compressor from the ac system in a car just to see what was in it.
    3
  489.  @nativespirit4942  but someone does not need to be Russian these days. Google translate does this translation easy.
    3
  490.  @machtschnell7452  from a resources standpoint but not political. Taiwan breaking away to form its own country would be bad politically.
    3
  491. As much as Trump has issues this did not happen under his watch. Biden is hopeless.
    3
  492. The Russians were quite innovative on the drone in the black sea. And yes that is an airplane with a remote pilot.
    3
  493. Why not cut them open and determine what they are? Why the speculation by so called experts?
    3
  494.  @wolfvale7863  you have a very one track mind on this war so you will not understand anything that does not align. Anyway at least you have decent sense, hence my replies. You'd be amazed how much I understand.
    3
  495. Germany's independence is at threat but not from Russia. It's Ukraine and the Eu that is pressuring it to go in a direction it is not comfortable with. Who is really bullying Germany?
    3
  496. Segway comes to mind. Of course that was a different era so its an order of magnitude less.
    3
  497. I don't see how its difficult to protect a ship. A steel wire mesh around the ship extending a few feet above and below the water's surface seems like it will do the job. Maybe it has to be 40 or 50 ft off the ship. Surely its worth a try.
    3
  498. Thanks for putting in the effort. In 8 min I learnt from you what probably took 8 hours of your time. Time permitting I will try to add useful content too. This is what we need to do as a global community.
    3
  499. Realistically though Medvedev is finally right on one thing. Arresting an acting head of state is just plain stupid and is tantamount to a declaration of war.
    3
  500.  @jgrm4443  no it is about Russia and its best interest in the long term.
    3
  501. Actually they won't do anything about it but talk crap.
    3
  502. Iran will be on the scene just now. Nuclear space it getting crowded.
    3
  503.  @taiwanisacountry  1) Can third world countries manage money to do a good project? 2) Can they stop gross corruption? 3) Do they have the in-house skill to get quality? 4) Will their quality be any better than Chinese 5) Will the project ever get completed and will it be on budget? Will the scope be reduced as money runs out. Its known IMF is a terrible choice. No doubt there. The jury is still out on China. My gut feeling is Africa would not be better off relying on the west or do better projects that what the Chinese deliver.
    3
  504. Maybe you should be asking why the response from the West was deliberately slow. There is a lot of "think tanks" behind the scenes making recommendations. What makes you think that your ideas are better or more informed?
    3
  505.  @lv3609  I don't think so at all but its probably pointless trying to explain to someone who strongly believes. Josh is usually wrong in my opinion so I was not surprised his video went down the simplistic route.
    3
  506. Especially compared to the size of the lander. Much of the commentary on this video made no sense.
    3
  507.  @wolfvale7863  the West will surely remain intact. US will actually prosper while EU will decline. US dominance will drop but not be eliminated anytime soon. The world will return to being multipolar.
    3
  508.  @christianbroadbent7489  everyone has such a simplistic view that's why everyone in the world stopped talking to Russia.
    3
  509. Pledge big numbers far in the future and hope the war ends or he is out of office before delivery. People have short memories anyway so its all good.
    3
  510. I made a similar comment as your first point. Your second point makes sense too.
    3
  511. You guys in EU are hopelessly dumb. There is no saving you from yourselves.
    3
  512.  @mobassey8455  dumb comment since you did not check. Its just a different opinion from yours.
    3
  513.  @Pyramidalist  as a race we are probably the best off as we have ever been. Great times actually once WWIII doesn't start.
    3
  514.  @personalbiz  nations do not send billions of dollar on principle or good will. Everyone nation who gets involved has its interest in mind.
    3
  515.  @neilhands1708  that's common sense. Not sure how others cannot catch that.
    3
  516.  @cascadianseagull  well don't worry. This is escalating. We wont have to speculate for too long again at the rate we are going.
    3
  517. Yes and in a rules based society you cannot seize the assets of oligarchs just because they are Russian. Due process is required. So clearly its mostly a rules based society in most cases but not fully there.
    3
  518. If they are flying low but higher up probably requires more powerful guns or missiles.
    3
  519. The Ukrainian war has also taught the world that the SWIFT system can be weaponised and that NATO can freeze assets if they do not like you.
    3
  520. What about their "ghost"? None of it makes sense. Seems the Western media has been lying through its teeth.
    3
  521. Hey at least Ukraine got one video on this channel in the last week. Zelensky must be fuming that the spotlight is not on him anymore. Something will be orchestrated soon to bring back the limelight.
    3
  522. Yeah most would look frightening.
    3
  523.  @rowdy5697  maybe the leaders should act like professionals or just adults.
    3
  524. I wonder how this fire compares to the ones at the World Trade Center.
    3
  525. Yeah that did not sound sensible to me. The missiles will be more expensive than the drones they are trying to take down and possibly more than one would be needed for each drone. I do wonder who is going to pick up the tab. US or EU I suspect since Ukraine has no money to even run its government at present far less buy weapons.
    3
  526.  @515coldfire  I got the impression there was. Somewhere I remember action figures and items with his face on them.

  527. Quite surprised this is allowed to stay up.

  528. Once you send equipment to Ukraine that's the risk. Don't cry after.

  531. Number seems really high to me too. Crux rarely has footage though. They recycle the hundred clips they have over and over.
    3
  532.  @hoang1730  Ent that the truth. I find my comments that are not favourable to the US seem to get lost. YT is quite dishonest about it. They will show me my comment on my login but if I check with another browser its not shown. They should at least inform someone if their comment is in moderation.
    3
  533.  @heavyweather  you really think they are sending the correct amount of their best tank people for training? Chances are many of the veterans are dead along with the lost equipment Ukraine had at the start of the war.

  536. This would have been a lot more informative if the 90% oil ban was put in terms of money paid to Russia at this date say for hydrocarbons (oil and gas combination). Is it 30% of the total? 40% ??

  540. No one is touching Turkey. If Russia does that it would be a huge mistake. If the west did it would he a big mistake (and they won't, NATO).
    3
  541. US - if the rifle does not work sue the tree.
    3
  542. Russia will still have their eastern side for survivors and those living there. Not great but they will likely have somewhere to continue. US will have a lot less space to move into with a much larger population dead. EU has nowhere to go and a huge population dead. UK would probably be obliterated. All loose significantly but EU looses the most.
    3
  543. Youtube is engaging in a high level of dishonesty with comments. I made a comment that I can see under this name. Logging in under another name reveals the comment is not shown publicly.
    3
  544. Because its difficult to get nations to join if they can be pushed out over a disagreement on one or several matters.
    3
  545. It was a joke.

    3
  549.  @francoisleveille409  he looks so confused much of the time that I am not sure he knows where he is. Probably cannot tell friend of foe. Putin on the other hand don't need to think about it too much. All are probably foes.
    3
  550. I agree. Of course we will hear good reviews regardless of the actual outcome because most of the news come from one side of the fence.
    3
  551. What??? You think military personnel get that option?
    3
  552. And beg a lot harder for everything.
    3
  553. Which do you think more likely? 1) Putin runs and hides 2) Putin order the use of tactical nukes and wipe out some of those eastern cities in Ukraine that has fewer pro Russian citizens Putin is not going anywhere.
    3
  554. Doesn't seem like relying on sensors alone is a good idea to me. Guess it needs some real world testing so off it goes to Ukraine.

  559. Strategy mate. Attack. Provoke a reaction. Cry for new weapons.

  560. VisualPolitik is a funded campaign with political interests. Clear bias is shown. Also positions are taken that would seek to get the most supporters. It comes across as propaganda. I am betting Simon is an actor. No one can research and put out as much as is done under the several channels he narrates. Even for a small team that would be tough. I do hope your endorsement is not a sign that funding parties have reached out to you and have managed to get some form of agreement. This channel comes across as independent with no vested interest. I do hope it remains this way.

    3
  570. Its a simple statement. We are willing to take on all sides if we have to. Neither side here is interested in war so I don't see anything coming of it. Just a show of force.

  571. Prigozhin has lost it. Even Urkaine is admitting they are not making any significant progress. He pushed too hard and now he is out in the cold. He needs to go back to Africa until the Russian military needs him again.
    3
  572.  @pjhgerlach  Erdogan has some issues with modern economic theory. He has a lot of blame and may well be gone but I am willing to bet he will not back down on this. If the US tries to "just sail through" it will cause serious issues. If they end up in direct conflict with the Russian navy we can have the mother of all escalation. They are not interested in doing that or they would have engaged already.

  579. This is great work and you are right in not expressing a preference. Its your independence that makes your videos so appealing. The data is there for those who are using the product to see what suits them best. In your auto cleaning videos if it is possible to overlay photos and estimate the removal percentage that would be helpful. I know that can be difficult but as you can imagine its even more difficult and subjective for us to do that.

  585.  @youtubevideoswatching3866  didn't hear about the scammer. US will provide some support but I doubt they will directly engage China. Similar to what is happening in Ukraine. It's not conducive to China's long term goal to attack but its not good for Taiwan to break away either. The best position is for the status quo to remain as is and everyone deescalate a bit.

They can stop supporting the comedian and tell him negotiate an agreement. But that won't happen because they are too busy making money in the feeding frenzy in Ukraine. One stubborn man, an idiot comedian, a greedy nation that is seeing trillions and a indecisive bunch that at times are trying to out compete each other for brownie points. What a cast for this play!!

Imagine people lost family members to one side or the other and still willing to overlook that for the future. Swiss neutrality will not hurt them at all. Heck I wont be surprised if Russia and Ukraine has friendly relations when the present leaders are gone. It makes sense that they do.

From a control standpoint I'd be more concerned how the spine and brain interact. Can that really be wired back correctly? Would the new person fee ghost pains like patients of lost limbs do? This can be one proper mess in the making.

  609. Russia cannot back out now so the only chance of stopping this is accepting the terms or fighting it out. Realistically Ukraine needs to be neutral or there will always be a problem. The regions that separated are gone. No point fighting the wars to keep that territory. Give Russia what they want but put in a clause that guarantees they withdraw. I know easier said than done. Also the Ukrainians need to get rid of the government that played the dangerous game that get them here. Understand their geopolitical reality and prosper within the limitations.

  616. Putin is showing great restraint. I suspect its to avoid alienating India and China. If he really wanted to he could have leveled a small city as an example. The fact that people can come out to protest is testament to how much kid gloves are being used.
    3
  617.  @jackforman561  I suggest you have a look at Österreichs Bundesheer channel. I believe he is a military analyst. He says the older tanks are a good move.
    3
  618.  @jackforman561  have a look at his channel. Most is in German I think. The few pieces in Eglish are actually quite good. He is saying its a good move to use the older tanks. That does not take away from the points you make about new tanks. The problem on the net is what is the real info. Too much propaganda channels. The guy I pointed out seems like a very reliable source.

    3
  620.  @superdau  you raised important points. Size and trust. China has no issue with size. USD now has an issue with trust depending on the side of the fence you sit. Any location that is not neutral or compliant with US stands a chance of getting cut off. There are many in the world on that side. I expect China will improve on their trust issues and those that are anti US will probably have no other smart choice but to come over to the Chinese side.

  621. 😆 best comment I read this week.

  622. So many deplorable people providing arms to Ukraine. Fighting a proxy war without spilling any of their blood.

  623. They never said anything when it was happening in Iraq or Afghanistan.

  625. The level of stupidity at all levels these days is amazing.
    3
  626.  @handmadehearts  that sucks but calling and getting themselves killed sucks even more. War is really brutal.
    3
  627. Finland and Sweden were de facto members for some time now. The final signature is not going to change much.
    3
  628. Sure they found 6.2B or maybe someone high up instructed a reassessment to make the total value look lower than it is.
    3
  629. Probably but that is uncertain. Look at the war in Afghanistan. What did that get the US?
    3
  630.  @jtf2dan  what madness you talking? Who invited US in Afghanistan? That was an invasion. No two ways about that.
    3
  631.  @maxhugen  missed the entire point. You shouldn't bully the world because you have a problem with Russia. That's the level of thinking that exist in the west.
    3
  632. Unfortunately it seems many do not understand this. Europe is tied to Russia geographically. Their futures cannot be disconnected completely.
    3
  633.  @alexgorecki7282  ok I get what you are saying now. I suspect a few are sent by their governments but done in a way where they can be said to be there on there own free will. Recently there was a blatant call for this from Ukraine for F16 pilots.
    3
  634. Do that for the US presidents too. In fact all the leaders where any war is on foreign soil. BTW only the US stupid enough to try isolation. Europe is partially scared, partially bullied and now partially seeing the enormous profit of this war.
    3
  635. Ukraine has a small notch out on the southern front that is continuously under fire and this is hailed as progress? That's a bad position to be in. They need to flatten the front line before going further.
    3
  636. Looks rather light. Is this meant to go across rivers fast since the bridges are clearly being targeted?
    3
  637. This was common knowledge. Shows Zelensky is running out of soldiers so he has to crack down.
    3
  638. Zelensky is not important. Its the western weapons that is propping up Ukraine. Russia may have underestimated the degree of support but they are still hammering away and still taking ground.
    3
  639.  @19SaD82  curious where you got the cost of missiles from. Can't see Russia publishing it and estimates by others would not be accurate at all.
    3
  640. Thanks. I had a good laugh reading this comment.

  641. Not possible.
    3
  642. Precision is a very relative term. Anytime you see vague terms like that is BS. Its like Crux "experts say".
    3
  643. Well said. Systemic issues need to be solved first.
    3
  644. You would think that is common sense but reading the average Crux comment section common sense isn't common in Ukraine or most of NATO for that matter.
    3
  645. More like he embarrassed the journalist.
    3
  646. Amusing.
    3
  647. Just another joke from Zelensky.
    3
  648. Why would Russia attack a plant that it controls and Ukraine claims its using to store weapons? Sound a lot like Ukraine attacked the plant and blame Russia since they have weapons there. Ukraine does not care what the cost of winning is. I Hope Europe understands the risks.
    3
  649. Exactly. Dima dreams up things all the time.
    3
  650. They pioneered but it would have happened a few years later anyway. I feel the respect that nuclear weapons deserve has been lost with our recent politicians.
    3
  651. Why are you asking hard questions? Just be a sheep and go with the narrative please.
    3
  652.  @redeyejedi3753  lol. Have a look at the stuff I upload. I make all kinds of things. Don't really use any one tool too often though.
    3
  653.  @alexfortin7209  that is crazy. Just the logistics of getting that much ammunition to the numerous locations must be a challenge.
    3
  654.  @janvandermeer6159  not going to happen. Turkey is too important geographically to push into Russia's sphere of influence.
    3
  655.  @corvanna4438  what can NATO do? Can they kick Turkey out? If not then they can cry all day. It won't change a thing. On another note, just because Turkey is not as dumb as Germany doesn't mean it has no benefit to NATO.
    3
  656. Well this video seems like recycled news.
    3
  657. Strangely I found the add for SimScale the most interesting part of the video. Its not that the video was bad. Just that I have read a lot on the GPS systems over the years so its not new to me. Think I will check out SimScale.
    2
  658. So who does? Surely not any of the 50 countries supplying arms to Ukraine. India might be the only one of significant size.
    2
  659. Trusting Putin would be stupid but then they cannot blame Russia alone. Its both of them. Neither side will give so this is a moot point.
    2
  660. Skip that and just give them nukes because they will still be at a disadvantage. So sad no one gave the Afghans or Iraqis any weapons when they were at a disadvantage.
    2
  661. @SophieSophs yeah but they were the "aggressors" like Russia in Ukraine. Poor Afghans no one shipped they billions in equipment.
    2
  662. UN management better be careful. If their funding sources get upset they may get fired. If the story in Bucha changes then the western front collapses. That can never officially change regardless of the evidence.
    2
  663.  @wolfvale7863  Russia is struggling for sure. At the end of it either the best general will be in charge or there will be not one left. Seems everyone will get a shot.
    2
  664. Damn better cancel the war. A soldier died.
    2
  665. Been tried. Didn't work. But who knows. They might try again. With the "ambitious" three letter organisations in the US any shady deal is possible.
    2
  666. Belt and road was ambitions. At best stable for a generation, if so much. Difficult geopolitics and lots of it.
    2
  667.  @joellemaster998  Or just a larger drone.
    2
  668. Zelensky is so amusing. Mobilisation just means Putin is finally bowing to the pressure to take this war a little more seriously.
    2
  669. My mirror is a little different since its electric. Nice show of the internals. I had to repair my horn last week. Machined some plastic parts and did some dodgy zip tying but I got it to work. I actually made a video on it though its a little long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ppEtnAIbk8
    2
  670.  @johnwalsh4857  agreed. Its all about the money. Europe is bleeding though. Germany is feeling it. The loss of cheap gas is hurting them and will continue to do so for a long time.
    2
  671. I got that they didn't want UN in the flooded areas. UN is practically NATO so that makes a lot of sense. If anyone has to investigate it must be independent nations like India and possibly Turkey. Everyone else has serious bias.
    2
  672.  @Hardcore_Remixer  the other blogger is not sharp enough to catch the war and the claims made by Zelensky are two independent issues. You are wasting time.
    2
  673.  @robertscott961  short of going in themselves that cannot make sure Ukraine will win. The upcoming offensive will determine everything. If they loose lots of men and equipment Ukraine is done. If they capture a lot of land with minimal loses Russia will have to reconsider its approach.
    2
  674.  @StinkyGuff  Ukraine is definitely winning at present. They have numerical superiority. That may or may not change when the Russian mobilisation takes full effect. Guess we will have to wait and see.
    2
  675. 😂

  676.  @Zetler  Biggest winner there us US. Russia is not doing too bad. Europe is crying and Ukraine is just begging to survive.

  677. I did that on my car a few years ago. Luckily I did not have to go through all that trouble. Can't recall exactly but I think I was able to replace the hinges without taking out the fender. I did it one hinge at a time just like you. Nice tutorial. I would encourage anyone mechanically inclined to try it. its not that hard and the door will not fall off on you.
    2
  678. Be careful, those are proper EU values.
    2
  679. Amusing approach by Ukraine.

    2
  681. Poor fella begging again.

  682.  @Matt1975ism  now that is a joke. US and Canada have the most sheep. Something is seriously wrong with those people.
    2
  683. PolyMatter that's cool. Guess sharing the research helps with the prep time for a video. I found the videos complementary. Btw I subscribed after looking at the topics on your other videos. Over time I will look at a few for sure.
    2
  684.  @JamesC785  looks so. And not a few missiles too. A proper compromise of their borders is probably needed. Tactical nukes is probably out too because of the international push back.
    2
  685. Really? Not his family? Some people on the net are not thinking straight.
    2
  686. Yeah they have proven themselves to be quite naive.
    2
  687. The US is quite familiar with that. Its just war to them too.
    2
  688.  @angeurbain6129  exactly.
    2
  689.  @grantmccabe8966  it would be sad if Iran deals with the US after the poor treatment. Maybe they can deal with Europe.
    2
  690. Of course this is not on Lithuania. This is on EU. Bad decision in the first place that they now realise is not worth this escalation so they recanted.
    2
  691.  @lucks4fools978  I would like to further add that if Russia and China were supplying the Taliban with info and weapons the casualties on the US side would have been a lot more or they would have retreated a lot faster.
    2

  694.  @ellied.violet7372  glad to hear that. Maybe the media didn't show that or maybe I missed it. He is begging. He should be a little humble.

  695.  @ellied.violet7372  thanks for the insight. I had not heard that side of things. Unfortunate Zelensky is the face of the war in Ukraine. This really need fast resolution and it does not appear he is the man to do it.

  699. Really? So why not send in UK troops. Russians can't even beat Ukraine so it should be easy right? Words from a politician is a waste of time. Action is what matters and all UK has done is send a little weapons.
    2
  700. That would be great if true. Supporting Ukraine does not mean one has to support corruption if its found.
    2
  701.  @trueblaze84  that would require a little common sense but clearly the G& leaders did not think about that. Sad level of leadership.

  703. Even if it works now Russia seems to get a workaround in 6 months. Bad idea when Russia passes the info off to Iran. And that's just one point. What happens when Russia decides to really try to protect Syria skies? Israel lis just being practical in the situation and Ukraine is just being the typical manipulating beggar.

  705.  @bryandimery6509  Probably not surrender but at least accept the areas Russia annexed have more native Russian speakers and will realistically remain Russian. Strike a deal to let that go. 8 years of troubles and they still stubborn. By the time this war is finished Ukraine will be in such a large hole its not funny. They not realising they will only get token help from US and EU. Definitely not hundreds of billions. Russia will not back down easily if they try to give the frozen assets to Ukraine.

  713. First this channel is very pro western. Second how is it propaganda if the march happened?
    2
  714.  @Mike_Davidson  they couldn't use them anyway. Types of missiles and codes. They would have had a messy relationship with the west too if they kept them. They are actually better off without them. Anyway Ukraine has uranium and supposedly the knowledge to build nukes. They could have started since 2014. If they did however they would have no western support now.
    2
  715.  @47rintin1  not all of the population prefers the Western society. Seems the eastern border is more Russian slanting and Russian speaking. The western side is more western leaning and speaks Ukrainian more. Same with me. I don't care to live in the US but if the option was US or Russia it would definitely be US for me.
    2
  716.  @Andygb78  China is coming up in innovation. Its not just a photocopier like it used to be. Agreed China is not pure communism anymore. Its drifting and I think it will keep drifting towards a western model since that seems to benefit them the most. Whatever works for them is fine. We on the outside should look but not interfere. I do not believe communism failed because the system itself is bad. Its the humans that ran it. Corruption seems easier under that system and no recourse is possible. Communism can work great if people can operate without being corrupt. Of course that is probably impossible so maybe in the real world its not viable for too long.

  721. I think he misses the fact that China needs an ally when the west start hitting them with sanctions. Trump tried. It will return. The west and China will end in conflict. China has no other powerful ally so they need Russia. At least Russia ties up Europe.
    2
  722.  @8G00SE8  oh yeah I forgot about Kaliningrad. The US did the exact same thing to Iraq without UN approval. That was actually worst since Iraq posed no security threat to US. That's just the reality with the bigger players. Its not right but there is nothing we can do about it.

One of these days I will put up a video on the chips in a washing machine I opened a year ago. Its total BS that those can be used for anything sophisticated.
    2
  737. At the rate this is going the only solutions are: 1. Russia withdraws 2. Russia takes over all of Ukraine so there is no staging ground for NATO to continue this fight 3. Go nuclear

  738.  @operator9858  does not seem like it will be useful in this war. Then there is the problem of payment. Ukraine will have a much reduced GDP after this war and it wasn't much per capita to start with. Lots of infrastructure to repair too. I cannot see them having the money.

That said a smarter Ukrainian president would have negotiated and not end up in this position.

  782. And you can say Poland and US are raring to go but they won't officially send anyone to fight Russia. Maybe they are the ones that are scared and hiding behind Ukraine. All depends on how you want to look at it.
    2
  783. Maybe Belarus is going to attach, maybe not. They continue the rhetoric and troop mobilisation so Ukraine has to keep reserves on that front thereby assisting Russia's efforts in the east. The west was dumb to sanction Belarus early. Now there is a lot less to hold over their head if they enter the war.

  784.  @ph-free-blogger  really? Guess you missed international law class.

  785.  @slimsolo8171  the raising of the age is Russia's internal issue to deal with. I really don't see why it bothers anyone. The numbers lost seems to be all BS. Seems its all inflated and skewed to Ukraine. But again does really matter to anyone else but Russia. As for "small country" that's also wrong. They are not small in area or population. About a third of Russian population. They are getting billions in weapons. It seems Russia has some serious issues with logistics. That's fortunate for Ukraine or they would have been run over a long time ago.
    2
  786. Typical. Europe does crap and the rest of the poorer world suffers. I really cannot understand why anyone outside the sanctioning countries (all rich) would even consider supporting them.

  790.  @d1ndark25  I am not saying its multipolar right now at all. Imagine having a financial system that should be global but removing nations from it when it suits the US. What I am saying is its moving to multipolar. Russia is out of that system. China is being pushed so they will sort out an alternate. Hydrocarbons are traded in currencies other than USD. Times are changing and will continue to change. That said the US dominance will remain for the foreseeable future. It will slowly erode though.
    2
  791.  @urgreatestenemy  you are asking people to think and that in itself is not acceptable to most. Further they actively choose to get all their information from pro Ukrainian sources so they will never look at the other side. Lets hope the people in charge are smart enough not to box Russia in too much with sanctions and exclusions. A trapped animal is a dangerous one.
    2
  792.  @pauobunyon9791  "bringing a quick end to that war" is a dodgy excuse. Same could be applied to any war. Anyway that only worked because US alone had that capability at the time. If Japan had the ability to retaliate on US soil trust me that would not have ended the war.
    2
  793.  @pauobunyon9791  this war is escalating. US has an interest in that and its pushing that agenda. Trillions in sales for the military industrial complex. Zelensky should not be armed without him committing to a serious negotiation to end the war. With respect to the nations I agree they benefited from US aid but I would venture to say they would have done well anyway due to the skill of the people. Leaders have a part but the people do the work. Germans and Japanese are some of the most productive and ingenious people.
    2
  794.  @pauobunyon9791  we can definitely agree there was some seriously bad elements in both regimes. War is nasty but they really took some things past anything that can be considered acceptable. But I venture to say the masterminds were few in number. No doubt those were removed from the equation by the US and allies (in Europe). That purge did put the nations on a good footing.

  796. Useful comment hence the number of likes.

  797.  @slippingsnake  you have a theoretical argument that makes no real practical sense. Remember when the international court ruled against US for actions in Nicaragua? Did they comply? No. In the real world the big players are above any law. Further if EU can plan to stop Russian gas I am betting there are clauses to allow Russia to do the same. Russia gave notice. Seems like the are playing that at least close to the book.
    2
  798.  @mikitadou  quite a racial comment. Sad.
    2
  799. So US is stealing oil. Great look. More and more sensible nations will move away from them.
    2
  800. And the western governments would fully ramp up their production in a few years so its not in Russia's interest in stopping now either unless its a fixed deal. So no one is stopping this war now unless the West pressures Kyiv by dropping weapons delivery to a very low level.
    2
  801. Without production numbers and demand from Europe this video is pointless.

  804. "I" had to replace one of those early this year. Drum type brakes at the rear of my vehicle. Of course I am not that confident so I went to the mechanic (hence the "I" at the start of this comment). There was some serious gouging on one side of the bearing. Actually made a video on it. Weird that the hub material was machined and polished into a bearing as opposed to pressed bearings into a casting.
    2
  805.  @qefewfwdcwdc  and those polices kept the EU alive. Bailed out the irresponsible governments and citizens in the south. So by extension Russian friendship saved the EU. We disagree on this. I think Germany was right. Realities change now so the situation needs to be reassessed and that is what they are doing. Unfair to have their hand twisted though but such is international politics. Right now Russia is causing Germany less stress than some of it EU allies and US.
    2
  806. The world is connected. It works better that way. Trying to isolate any large state is just plain dumb.

  810.  @qwertyqwerty-zi6dr  yes they joined and they kept this war going. Zelensky was going to make a deal in March and USA stepped in to stop that. Why don't they send troops in? That's a good question to answer objectively.
    2
  811. Well Russia does not care. Seems they are not backing down so no grain deal then.
    2
  812.  @rastislavsmolek8140  I am in agreement. US if quite happy. China is quite happy. India is probably quite happy too since they can do with cheaper fuel too. Iran and Venezuela are probably happy too. More leverage at the table. The only losers are EU since they will pay for it since more money on weapons and higher cost of fuel. Of course Russia and Ukraine are also losers but more so Ukraine. Russia needed a reset anyway. They needed a real reason to start getting off the fossil fuels bandwagon. This will definitely be a good push for them to redesign themselves.
    2
  813.  @tommyatkins2527  seems Russia had h,oped to use the Ukrainian rail system but that not panning out so they need to destroy it and all the bridges over the Dnieper river.

    2
  846. I stripped an auto AC compressor some time ago and put it up on YT but I am no where as elegant as you in the presentation. It was just something to break and look at the design.
    2
  847.  @triklettriklerbu1592  they have fighters already. That's wasting money and stressing the economy more.
    2
  848.  @lattehour  I am sure Europe can make more expensive. Most nations with any military capacity can probably make better. But as the English say these are cheap and cheerful. Even when shot down they cause the enemy to expend a reasonable amount of effort or expensive missiles. Seems like good value for money.
    2
  849. Good speaker. Madness for sure by the Europeans.
    2
  850.  @nightelfuser  2 years ago I subscribed to William Spaniel's channel. After he started getting blatantly biased and ridiculous I unsubscribed.
    2
  851.  @nightelfuser  yes its not worth my time to listen to him either.
    2
  852. Irrespective of anything else if one is buying weapons and expect to go up against a US ally then it must be from someone the US cannot influence to stop the supply of parts. South Korea is not a good choice since the US has some good influence there.
    2
  853. So are you implying the Turkish people are not smart?
    2
  854.  @joyfuljoyful6598  you see the problem is US is happy to fund and its all cool at home when they can watch on CNN. When it gets real then you will see the problems. If it goes nuclear (past tactical) the first target has to be US. UK after. France after that. I am no where close so I would be fine for a few weeks till food runs out. Then I too am doomed. I am betting most of us on this forum are.
    2
  855.  @joyfuljoyful6598  I would like to see a successful push back on US and that Russia survives. The world needs counterbalances so no powerful nation becomes a "dictator" to the rest of us.
    2
  856.  @JohnnyD-u7  sure. How many do they have and what percentage was sent to Ukraine?
    2
  857. Well they are in the right place to assess what is really happening. It may take them some time. Clearly whomever is firing doesn't really care though.
    2
  858.  @rejvaik00  sure I cannot disagree there. London will not come out unscathed but I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later.
    2
  859. They forgot to sanction Putin's pets. Now that have patched those holes 😂
    2
  860. ​ @cdefgah4343  thanks. You have encouraged me to do some reading on it.
    2
  861.  @marmot418  that was just an excuse to invade. Anyway a lot of the Azov are dead. Of course they may have inspired the younger generation to follow them.
    2
  862. Everyone is lying in this war. The only thing that seems to be reasonably well reported is who controls what area.
    2
  863. Yes but US labour is highly overpaid. In some cases its easily 10 times more than elsewhere in the world for the same task. US is still likely better but the gap may not be as large as those numbers imply.
    2
  864. And Russia will test the system for Iran for free drones. Then Israel looses their advantage. Israel is not that dumb to give anything like that to Ukraine. They will continue giving aid in just enough quantities to save face.
    2
  865. And Poland.
    2
  866.  @francoisleveille409  quite likely.
    2
  867. Anyone surprised?
    2
  868. I am opening a Nissan alternator at present. Figured most of this out already but its good to get confirmation.
    2
  869. There is no interest in ending this war. Neither side has achieved what they wanted and both have the means to continue. US has deeper pockets so we shall see if they can outlast Russia.
    2
  870. That weakens Turkey's position with Russia. They continue to play both sides.
    2
  871. People have gotten to damn pampered in many countries. Attitudes have changed drastically.
    2
  872.  @davidcurry4433  well that's not too good for Ukraine. UK has its own issues right now so they really cannot expect that much from them.
    2
  873. Analysis is poor today. Russia cutting the gas is common sense.
    2
  874. That is really not a problem at all. Short shortsightedness of the west just introduced competition on that market. Too long to explain the details but both Russia and China have decent alternatives to Boeing and Airbus. Now Russia will be forced to develop the network. Of course it will only be able to land in non western airports but that is a lot of the world.
    2
  875.  @edreusser4741  I follow your logic and that is a structure issue. To me it depends on the number of generals they have. Using arbitrary numbers. If they have 100 and they lost 10 its bad but not the end of the world. If they have 30 and they lost 10 then its really serious. I am not a military person so maybe I am looking at it wrong.
    2
  876.  @PeterSedesse  agreed. It would be interesting to see if they change strategy or continue more of the same. I am sure they are quite aware of western doctrine. Maybe they should consider adopting some of the strategies.
    2
  877.  @wolfvale7863  damn youtube is changing everyone's name. I didn't recognise mine. That is ridiculous. Anyway my comments have disappeared again so I have no idea what you are replying to. Youtube censorship is getting really annoying.
    2
  878.  @vollassitoni7795  probably or some alternative comes online. Their practices are getting bad.
    2
  879. That will change and the west will cry.
    2
  880. Ukraine is loosing a lot more men and they are now admitting it. Newer systems wont matter when the troops are not there to support. NATO cannot keep supporting. Their populations have largely moved on. Inflation and domestic issues are getting back in the forefront. Billions in aid is just not feasible for much longer. Anyway the outcome really depends on they counter offensive. Lets see how that goes.
    2
  881.    its time nations stand up to American bullying.
    2
  882.  @wilberwhateley7569  I disagree with the lessons to be learnt. China has really done well for itself in the last few decades. Their system works for them. Its not for me but I am not not advocating anyone outside pushing their view. That approach has messed up a lot of the world. Its hard to say what the chinese will do but you are probably right on the military. Trade will probably rise but yes Russia is in a weak position to negotiate.
    2
  883. Why not. They feeling left out of the feeding frenzy.
    2
  884.  @michaelprobert4014  lets ask though whom makes up Amnesty International and who funds them. They cannot be impartial.
    2
  885.  @19SaD82  lets be fair. Russia would have paid for the drones. Ukraine is the only one begging.
    2
  886. Catchy headlines sell stories. If they are not winning brilliantly they are loosing badly.
    2
  887. I am betting age is not the issue. His outlook is.
    2
  888.  @Chivalry2Clips  but as far as we know Ukraine never had these HAWK systems or ever trained on them. Why try to give them this now? They are old systems so no point in testing them against Russia. This really suggest they are running out of what they are willing to give from their stockpiles. It really is a mess logistically from the Ukrainian side. Can't imagine them getting good at anything based on how often its switched on them.
    2
  889.  @lordvladimirputin7895  you are wasting your time trying to explain simple logic. Many people swallow the the western propaganda to the point where they loose sight of reality.
    2
  890. I hope so too. Its the only thing that gets Russia to take this war very serious. Should be interesting consequences for Kyiv.
    2
  891.  @johnvannisselroy6197  of course its legitimate for Ukraine to target anywhere in Russia. Their limitation is begging for weapons that come with "conditions". Or at least so far the nations pretend there are conditions. We will see if Russia is out of options. Should be interesting either way.
    2
  892.  @davecuddahy7872  are you sure they built them or Russia built them and placed them on USSR territory?
    2
  893. When you do not know its amusing what you think is great. Any kid at 15 anywhere in the world can build this.
    2
  894. Don't worry Zelensky will bully Germany. Even try to shame them. Hope they grow some balls and tell him to ....
    2
  895. Yup Apple has a serious bank account. They can afford to sell cheaper but why bother. The stupid consumers will buy at higher prices. Samsung is doing the same too with their flagship model.
    2
  896. This sounded like a video on politics as opposed to logic. Guess its more important to keep players happy and roll out than fix things.
    2
  897. Turkey should go to the French. Payback for the submarine deal.
    2
  898. Extras for the script
    2
  899. Poland is really worried about Russia. They are buying every system they can get their paws on.
    2
  900.  @duckcensorship7446  my understanding is the missiles cost a lot more than the drones. That would be a serious resource drain to maintain.
    2
  901.  @volkerr.  are you mad? These guys spend decades preparing for something like this. EU and some of the US will be gone in less than an hour after.
    2
  902. He cannot. Too invested in US weapons to risk sanctions. But he is clearly moving away from the US which is sensible for Saudi.
    2
  903. No animals belong in their natural habitat.
    2
  904.  @NitinJadhav-cc2xh  you do realise he was making a joke?
    2
  905. Great video. Recently I opened a mass air flow sensor and put it up. Amazinly similar to yours. I have some close up shots in case anyone is interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEIOlkzD2YA
    2
  906.  @janbo8331  exactly. He is Polish. His stance is clear in his rhetoric. Still a decent source of info though. Shirvan is a lot less biased.
    2
  907. Big money. Poor country. Its going be difficult to stop due to the incentive to sell. You may get a few though with that kind of trap.
    2
  908. Surprisingly balanced review.
    2
  909. Human rights is a grey topic when we are talking about a war.
    2
  910.  @basvanrongen1  no doubt bad things are happening but that happens in every war. I am really not convinced that Ukraine is not doing some bad stuff too. Probably not as much as Russia but they are no angels either.
    2
  911. Forget human rights. "They are not Russia and they have gas". Just noting this statement independent of the rest of the video content. It says a lot about the mindset of the writers and orator.
    2
  912. Of course the Ukrainians know but the supporters are kept in the dark.
    2
  913. I like their stance. That is neutrality. Guess the weapons are meant for the defense of the country they are sold to alone.
    2
  914.  @chaosXP3RT  its not like Afghanistan. The only reason Ukraine is still surviving is because of Western support. They are going into recession in some cases. Politics will change in the US in two years. Support will dry up. Russia just has to wait that out. I am not saying this will not go on an offensive. Just saying the easy win is wait out the west.
    2
  915.  poolenudel8453  hope you remember today too where you are just ignoring the facts on the ground. I would counter by saying you are the one that is ignorant. This is my real account so unless YT removes it or I meet my demise I will be here.
    2
  916. Because honesty is difficult for them
    2
  917.  @fussylex  at the rate things are going they may get some experience soon with Taiwan.
    2
  918.  @sambishop4720  probably you are right but seeing that neither of us have inside information on the programme lets look at the actions of those that do have this information. If the tank is incapable of performing why send it in? That's illogical. Now of course one or two will get destroyed just like the "terminator". That's irrelevant. If it kills more units than itself then overall its a success.
    2
  919.  @blacklion8208  but lowering the tax means government has less to spend. There is still a loss somewhere.
    2
  920.  @notastone4832  and Ukraine stopped taking credit for anything because they are afraid of the consequences.
    2
  921. Yeah that has to be MW
    2
  922. And Russia works with them for technology transfer. It makes a lot more sense to deal with Russia hence the reason they do.
    2
  923. You are allowed but it will just disappear.
    2
  924. Funny.
    2
  925. Very good guest.
    2
  926. Great strip down. No better way to explain.
    2
  927.  @BillAnt  I like the comment but really not a single other copy of windows needs to sell for this man and his blood line to live for centuries. He is just too wealthy as it stands now to be affected.
    2
  928. If it misses in 2032 what happens in 2036? Seems like Russian roulette. Sooner or later our luck may run out.
    2
  929. Never going to happen but anyway then its even smarter to keep decent relations with Russia.
    2
  930.  @alandrew4131  sure they were defeated and we did not isolate them. Took a few years and things normalised. I would say both are success for sure. The point I am making is regardless of where you stand on this war isolating Russia is not a good move.
    2
  931. Of course you are making a big assumption that Iran didn't think about that and probably buys as they need instead of stockpiling.
    2
  932. I always though NGO's were wasting the money. Surprised to hear its well spent but the logic through the video does make sense.
    2
  933.  @ベストカジノボーナス  I was going to ask how the count only 9000 but I see you did some calcs a few comments later.
    2
  934. This will play out poorly sooner or later.
    2
  935.  @GreatPolishWingedHussars  sad how freedom works. Many times I do not comment because of the same issue and the amount of ignorant people out there.
    2
  936. If you are going off Crux's pics you might think at times its still winter.
    2
  937. History Legends has a much less biased report. Being Polish this channel comes across aimed at one side. Russia is actually in a much better position with the Prigozhin issue sorted.
    2
  938.  @brandonlongdikjones8117  nah but probably the strikes in other areas.
    2
  939. EU should just stop and admit they are now out of options. Sanctioning those people will do nothing.
    2
  940.  @mastermariner490  sure and I can order chips online (I have). Russians can travel to China and get. There will be a huge black market in China and possibly India. Its impossible to stop that.
    2
  941.  @mrwong8584  I feel sorry for you. Seems you level of intelligence limits you to calling people trolls if they do not agree with you.
    2
  942. 👍
    2
  943.  @watchingthehawks355  Kherson is on the Ukraine side of the river. They are blowing it up to stop Russian resupply.
    2
  944. Actually I think it will be quite the opposite. They will be heavily defended. No one will touch them.
    2
  945.  @ppen8359  sure they are. Definitely sustainable at the rate of attrition. Ukraine is a dead country some time now.
    2
  946. At least Ukraine is pushing back. It was starting to look too one sided.
    2
  947.  @kangancemnuklir2980  Odesa ports for a bridge that is not needed anymore. Hmmm. If it stops right there whom do you think won?
    2
  948.  @ddobry21  US and UK are also painted into a corner. If Biden wasn't so aggressive he could have found a way to back off. If Boris wasn't in such political crap he would probably not be as aggressive. The rest of people are irrelevant.
    2
  949.  @ddobry21  I am not saying Putin is without blame. He has a large amount of the blame. I am not saying Biden and Boris shouldn't act. But we are seeing a lot of war mongering especially by the US to keep this war active. They will make trillions on this in the next few years. Once Europe is properly frightened Zelensky will be told to negotiate. He won't have a choice when weapons dry up because US objective was achieved.
    2
  950. Definitely some serious foreign intervention. Not looking too good for Russia. If they cannot hold Kherson they need to stop on the other side of the river. Of course Ukraine cannot cross easily either so their attach probably stalls for a while.
    2
  951.  @Feffdc  yup. Its really poor coverage and people are not demanding better. Media should cover it as it exists.
    2
  952.  @leokyne6258  but they report Russian dead and the western media takes that as gospel. Clearly the audience is not interested in real info. Sad really.
    2
  953. 3.142 for or even 3.14 at time works perfectly for me. After that the calcs are more accurate that I can ever build.
    2
  954. Well that comment left out most of the relevant facts.
    2
  955.  @kleanthisxanthopoulos4697  don't waste time to answer him. Its an account that is less than 2 weeks old. Posting on every comment that is not pro Ukrainian. Paid commenter or bot.
    2
  956. From the report on this video Jen Stoltenberg made a statement like its a profound revelation and then said they are already doing it. He seems like a useless mouthpiece. For him to be considered useful it has to be shown where he brokered some help that would not have come without his intervention.
    2
  957.  @clavo3352  no I have not but I have done some international law. Have you ever lead a jury to a conviction or an acquittal, especially in the relevant area of international law?
    2
  958.  @ROrneli  the current rhetoric does not suggest any negotiation. Loosing access to the sea will break the enemy's will to fight. Not Zelensky of course. He will continue with his ideas regardless but he will get pushed out if the country realises there is no option that allows them to retain all of Ukraine.
    2
  959. They also have some of the smartest running it all since they have the money to attract them if there is a gap in nationals. That is what keeps it alive. Not the masses of dumb sheep. Anyway its at a pivotal point. Lets see how it plays out under Trump. If he pushes too hard everyone will push back.
    2
  960.  InfinitiAlex  that really makes no sense when they went in to remove the Taliban. That is defeat regardless of how you spin it.
    2
  961. Getting facts right will not suit most of the viewing audience. They just cannot see the reality several years later.
    2
  962. Its that level of thinking that got the EU in trouble.
    2
  963.  @childofeternity  yeah that sounds sensible.
    2
  964. Yeah he is very predictable. Somebody needs to dress him down publicly. Ask but don't try intimidating
    2
  965. His stupidity is just showing a little more.
    2
  966. Nice look but its a bit of a short term projection. Hopefully in the future no one will have to work because everything will be done better by machines. Look past UBI when almost everything is free and access is straight forward within reason of course. Simple example. Say you walk into a supermarket and everything is free would you consume excessively? Some will. But if its free everyday and will continue to be free will people over consume? Will they try to stockpile? No they will function as they do now (assuming they are not too poor to buy what they want).
    2
  967.  @luged  yes it will require lots. My comment was meant to look a little further in the future. I think he did well covering the near future but no mention of what is possible a bit further up the road. We will reach there. Scarcity drives economics but a lot of that will go out the window in the future as we become a multi-planet species. Couple decades and our grandchildren will not even relate to work (as we know it now) just as kids today cannot relate to waiting by the radio to catch a song and put it on a cassette.
    2
  968. with only half left
    2
  969.  @msjahun  big age difference.
    2
  970. Seriously 😂😂 After advertising the offensive they think it should be secret now?
    2
  971. Same as saying all my way.
    2
  972. While I am no fan of Saddam in all fairness to him that was a hell of a coalition against him. He really didn't stand a chance.
    2
  973. All just speculation.
    2
  974. Lithuania is of little significance. Why would anyone in that area care what a really small nation thinks.
    2
  975. Link?
    2
  976.  @Sturminfantrist  crappy AI?
    2
  977. China should start looking at those foreign reserves.
    2
  978. They cannot help themselves. I hope Erdogan remembers and acts accordingly.
    2
  979. You misunderstand either honestly or intentionally to promote a position.
    2
  980. Sometimes I wonder of people who thumb down videos like this actually watch it.
    2
  981.  @JohnnyThousand605  I understand. Sometimes I wonder if they picked up something I did not. Maybe even commented on it but given the amount of comments on any video maybe its lost at the bottom. The other side is there are so many trolls online. Maybe just very different views on the future of the tech and that's the reason. It really would be interesting though if we could find out the reasoning.
    2
  982. Signed up for an exam. Started studying. Didn't make a passing grade because of loss of interest. That's called failing regardless of how its phrased.
    2
  983. Wow that's a lot of work. I was considering installing one but I am not sure I have a day to do that. Nice tutorial though.
    2
  984. No ability to make fighter planes locally so they put all their energies into drones.
    2
  985. Sad US had two options to choose from that both have bad tempers. Hopefully pickings will be better the next time around.
    2
  986.  @mp5591  well its already going the US way so China should emulate. Lets see if they will put boats infront too.
    2
  987.  @jtf2dan  you seems to have a skewed view. Even western sources acknowledge that the Donbas region has a lot of ethnic Russians.
    2
  988.  @RS-hr8mj  I believe you missed the whole point. Every country has people that do not agree with their governments. How many Americans wanted to change countries when Trump came into power?
    2
  989. Nah US are defenders of democracy mate. They never harm anyone unless they are against US interest :-)
    2
  990. The challenge now is if this goes nuclear Finland will be in the cross hairs very early in the game. Anyway the people have spoken. The politicians are there to obey.
    2
  991.  @kriegsvogel1577  maybe its keep your enemies close strategy. I am sure they will be scoping out each other.
    2
  992. The Germans really do not want to supply but they are forced. Even when they say yes they try to drag it out as long as possible.
    2
  993.  @stevea2909  assuming the media is not lying then sure they are buying washing machines. The chip in a washing machine is no more complex than an arduino nano. Go on ebay and check. You will see that you can buy these direct from china (or a knock off that functions the same) for under USD$3. Why buy a washing machine to open for a chip that its unclear whether it can even be overwritten? They would need hardware to interface and the manufacturer software to program easily. The arduino comes with pinouts already for use and a USB interface for programming. Software for programming is free. Even easy to get free libraries online so its not starting from scratch. There is a huge community out there for support / information. What surprises me is more people are not speaking out that this makes no sense.
    2
  994. If this that advanced then there is no way they are training Ukrainians to use this in short time. The West might as well admit that they are directly fighting Russia. Russia needs to admit its not a special operation, its a full fledged war.
    2
  995.  @Sisifo628  I think they need a long war to stop Ukraine from joining NATO. Anytime this war ceases USA will push for Ukraine to join. Possibly in secrecy so Russia has no time to react.
    2
  996. As soon as the Swis took a side on this conflict I thought their neutrality was forever changed. The whole system has been turned upside down. There is now a window for duplicate systems financially. The obvious main player is China. It should be interesting in the next few years. Expect serious retaliation from the West, especially USA.
    2
  997. Might just be you that believe Russia had anything to do with Nord Stream. Think everyone else in the world knows it was not them.
    2
  998. This has to be a serious intelligence failure. It appears they had no warning. How fast it went down Russia hasn't lost any credibility. No ally some distance away would be able to react that fast.
    2
  999.  @niksandy7125  the comment was not on Russia's situation but EU's stupidity. Care to comment on that instead?
    2
  1000. Always interesting to see views on both sides. I do not agree with most of the conjecture in this video.
    2
  1001.  @TheRatlord74  he does not have permission to negotiate. He slipped up and made that statement. US made sure he was reigned back in.
    2
  1002.  @paolopetrozzi2213  stop making stupid comments on the net to people you do not know. Try to think about that before you write next time.
    2
  1003. The three leaders need to pound some sense in Zelensky's head.
    2
  1004.  @xcastille6161  I thought so a few years ago but now I am learning more due to channels like TLDR EU etc and I am not as convinced. I find it to be way too bureaucratic. I am amazed they survived as a group. Definitely not too amused with the Russian or Chinese models. If it works for them fine. Won't work for me.
    2
  1005. Amazing presentation skills. I have been building my own desktop computers for over 15 years so nothing here is new but you did a good job keeping my attention.
    2
  1006. I made the comment here that Zelensky would be replaced as soon as he is not useful anymore.
    2
  1007.  @pjhgerlach  you should really listen to sources from both sides.
    2
  1008.  @TheREALLibertyOrDeath  but US does not care whom the have to deal with once it meets their interests. Once it does not well the person is no longer of use to them.
    2
  1009.  @mbak7801  you are not very smart if the best you can come up with is Ivan or Boris. I won't argue with people at that level.
    2
  1010. If he continues to piss off the wrong people internally he will be dealt with.
    2
  1011. Not so good that himars missed under "ideal conditions" like this.
    2
  1012. Grain deal is completely dead now. Russia has a claim they can stand by. Port of Odesa is now open for attacks. Small win for Ukraine. Hope they can take the kickback that will come.

Escalating by supplying weapons to weaken Russia is not be best way though in my opinion.

After a while the herd mentality sets in and the producers of news have a choice to go with the flow and be financially successful or go against (if they find good evidence to support that view) and get shunned into in minority. So even a free press becomes less and less so over time as a population's views coalesce.

  1135. This is like climate change. Everyone knows something is happening but cannot agree on the quantum or how to approach it in a unified manner. No clear definition of what changes will occur and how fast. Actions of one society or country affect all. Pollution pouring out of China (or any other country for that matter) will affect all. Similarly AI out of China will likely affect all. We can't agree on climate change or any other serious international issue so one can expect we will not agree on this. Differences in concepts of pure capitalism and the socialist lines are different in every country. Some places health care is free. Others not really. Same thing will go for socialist programmes for displaced people. The world will probably get more chaotic but the march of progress will not stop. There will be some casualties along the way though. But then again history has shown there are always casualties when faced with drastic change.

  1171. Fair assessment. In the beginning the Russians seem to be lying a bit but now it seems they tell it basically as it is. It seems the western side still cannot tell the truth. The washing machine chips lies were really amazing. I happened to open a reasonably advanced washing machine that was broken and even did a video on the type of chips used in them. It was really annoying that people don't understand how basic the chips in appliances are and they were just parroting the lines.

  1172.  @mokarokas-1727  when you say the Ukrainian army has done extremely well that is a bit of a stretch. They have not done too badly but by no means extremely well. War requires four things, money, equipment, intelligence and labour. The Ukrainians only provide labour. The rest is provided by NATO. The Ukrainians are almost like Wagner in this regard.

  1179. Good summary. Baseless projection for the next year though. NATO is fully in for the moment it seems. War requires machinery, manpower, intelligence info and money. NATO is still providing 3 out of the 4 so this is really their war. All Ukraine is providing manpower alone. Manpower is probably an issue by this stage. There are videos of citizens being "kidnapped" to serve. Without an analysis of this its impossible to see where this war will be in the next year.

  1180.  @SoterlandUA  well that's a long rant that doesn't dispute anything I said. Just hope China does not decide to help Russia because they also have money and more manufacturing capacity that NATO combined. Plus they lack the BS politics that plagues EU.

  1181.  @SoterlandUA  NATO and China are tied together. They need each other for the moment. A divorce will take a decade at least. Even if this is done every item will cost at least 3 times the price. So life in NATO won't be that great either. Especially in Europe. They will collapse too.

  1216.  @agnelomascarenhas8990  the first phase was meant to frighten Kyiv into turning over the regions in the east without a major fight. It almost worked. Zelensky was talking about not joining NATO and accepting some compromises. I suspect US promised support and coached Zelensky to continue fighting. Once it was obvious that ploy failed there was no point in "threatening" Kyiv.

  1220. Or you can look at it from the other side. Regardless of the outcome of this war Europe has already lost its source of cheap fuel so its going to be in a slow decline.
    1
  1221.  @VINLAND_777  your comments are consistent with the European views. That's fine. Many others outside of the NATO block see this very differently. By the way Europe grew when there was little competition. They plundered a lot to reach where they are. Times have changed. Smart industry moves where there are advantages. Just remember that. US wins at your expense.
    1
  1222.  @VINLAND_777  you may not care if industries move but the affected countries and people will. The EU will decline as a result. Again you may not care being Swiss but that does not change the outcome. Russia most likely didn't plan for this level of reaction. That I can agree on. Sure it hurts them in the short term. Full retooling and focus outside of Europe is probably a good thing for them in the long term. Seems the both parties could not agree going forward anyway. Russia may not be genius but I fine EU's approach and assumptions to be just plain dumb. Anyway I am completely outside of Europe so this is all academic to me. I won't be affected more that the global effect.
    1
  1223.  @hernandocortez6351  of course the German economy will adjust just as the Russian one has. The straight forward reality is a raise in energy cost affects the cost of everything. If they were heavily on nuclear like France that might not be a problem but they are not so the effect will be felt for some time. I am not saying Germany will collapse but everything becomes more expensive to produce. In many cases that will not matter. In others, especially energy hungry industries or ones that use gas as feedstock the mid term effect may be relocation.

  1236. Several points of this analysis are a bit iffy. Targeting the collapse of the Russian economy strongly is a national threat. Why would they not use tactical nukes? The proposal on this video risks WWIII. Russia actually benefits from climate change. Sea routes in the arctic and some of the colder areas opening up.

It was a second hand car I bought and the door drop was as bad as the one you show so there was no choice but to change them out.

  1260.  China🤮 Corona virus😷  China is rapidly moving up. From a country standpoint yes China is probably better than all the countries you called. From a GDP per capita they are not close. Lets be fair though they have progressed extremely rapidly so you cannot knock the method of governance. The point with Belarus is they started at the same point as Ukraine but now they are way better off. That's a comparable dictator vs democracy Your analogy that Ukraine will be better if it joins EU has no bearing. If Belarus joins it will probably be better off that Ukraine anyway. The reason Belarus cannot join (assuming it wanted to) is the prejudices of the group. It's no different from being racial.

  1261.  China Virus😷 killed Us😠  is Libya or Iraq better off? Is that the business of people outside the country? Let people govern themselves how they want to. Stay in your country. Maybe somebody should go in US and fix their system because they feel they know better. Anyway I see you have evaded the previous comment where it clearly showed Belarus was way more productive under a dictator than Ukraine under democracy. Boiling complex issues down into simplistic statements like democracy is the way is something the west does a lot, especially USA. Seems the majority there does not have the capacity for anything complex.

  1264.  @sacredgeometry  I dislike how the US gets into the affairs of other countries. I see them as a bully that few can oppose so when someone gives them the middle finger I do enjoy the view. The US will not be deposed. Democracy in the west is not under threat. Whatever the outcome in Ukraine the west will continue to function as it has before. My two comments on YT will not radically change things. None of our comments will. We are merely spectators.
    1
  1265.  @sacredgeometry  the US does not work on moral obligations, just on what is in their best interest. They clearly state that all the time. Many put them as the most destabilising force in the world right now and I would say for the last half century at least. Russia is definitely no saint but they are some ways down the list in my opinion. I am much more concerned with China. I am impressed with their rate of progress but I don't thrust them. Not sure I can put my finger on exactly why. In the public opinion I will still support Russia over US. Their attitude annoys me. I absolutely dislike Zelensky too. He comes across as an annoying manipulative person who is not too sharp. A con man. Ukraine can do better.
    1
  1266.  @sacredgeometry  I think you misunderstand the statement on moral obligations. That's my take on it. I did not say you said or implied that. US has no moral high ground. Think about the amount of unjustified wars and deaths they caused. The whole of Europe has been at war off and on for millennia. Its a complex place. Definitely more stable now that their economies are so closely tied. Maybe it was a missed opportunity in the early 90's when USSR fell to encourage Russia into the fold. The dictatorship in China is their issue. If it works for them fine by me. Once it does not impose on my lifestyle I don't care. Something like the LGBT... persons. I am fine with them doing whatever they want once they do not impose their lifestyle on me. We need to be a little more tolerant. Democracy is not the only system. We do not need to crush everything that is different just like we do not need to change everyone with a different sexual orientation.
    1
  1267.  @sacredgeometry  one of the good things with China is the shift in policy with each leader. Deng came in and made necessary changes from Mao. Maybe Xi dies in a few years and the new leader has a more practical tone to the neighbours.

  1268.  @sacredgeometry  people were scrambling to leave because they dealt with the Americans and would probably be put to death by the Taliban. Further US is a rich place. Someone flipping burgers can make more than a professional in many countries of the world. Sometimes one has to bear with the ignorance for the greater good of their families. No one fought Hitler because it was the right thing to do. They fought because left unchallenged he would have taken over UK and then really challenged US if he consolidated Europe. That was never a moral war. The rush in to Germany was to get their tech. They were that far advanced. Wernher Von Braun is a clear example of getting the technology and not morality. With respect to the last statement I think all regimes do things that I do not agree with at times. All people do too. Once they do not try to impose their way on me (country or person) I am fine. Whom they get in conflict with I leave for the relevant parties to sort out.
    1
  1269.  @sacredgeometry  "Tyranny and democracy cant coexist not with any sort of interaction. Not with any sort of longevity." Its the choice of the parties on how they interact. If the wast cannot work with Russia anymore in any significant matter so be it. Action and reaction. Russia invaded a country and whatever the consequences they must live with it. Similarly though the west must live with the food and gas problem.

Renminbi is probably the best option.

  1306.  @lucks4fools978  yes it wasn't their war just like this isn't the US war. Next major war the US has Russia needs to supply the other side.

  1307.  @joshuavanzuydam5044  well said. Sadly in the age of technology accurate information is even more difficult to come by.
    1
  1308.  @sandoristar7597  agreed. It really comes down to looking at the logic and seeing what makes sense. All sides are full of propaganda. Putin's terms are not that bad. If they can put some guarantees in to ensure he will adhere this war can stop. Ukraine needs to accept the regions that are gone. They need to drop the whole NATO thing. I believe that will be enough for Putin to claim victory at home and pull out.
    1
  1309. The problem is probably finding the original. Repeat it enough and people will believe without question, especially if it suits their views.
    1
  1310.  @sandoristar7597  its the people of Ukraine that needs to realise Zelensky is the problem. He walked a thin line and lost. It should not have come to this. Or course I am not saying Putin is not to blame too but Ukranians cannot do anything about Putin. They can about Zelensky. He needs to go regardless of how this turns out.
    1
  1311.  @sandoristar7597 definitely both have blame in this. How its share is a matter of opinion but those who pick one side or another are being naive. Further all the big actors in the limelight now condemning have a piece of the blame too. They could have stepped in and tried to straighten this out with as much zeal as they had to throw sanctions. But alas war is good business for most of them and its not their citizens dying. They not even getting blamed for being reactive instead of proactive.
    1
  1312.  @M21-w1y  sure 🥱. I'd quicker believe NATO is about to steamroll over Germany again and make them give weapons they do not want to give.

  1313. So the strategy comes out. Shell the plant then try to get an agreement passed that allows Ukraine to take back the plant for safety reasons.

  1320.  @carryontraveling  please read a bit and educate yourself instead of just following the herd.
    1
  1321. Sweden and Finland are really irrelevant. They were practically in NATO a long time ago, just not in name. Further the Finish border is not conducive to a land attack so it not a huge threat. Those are just the facts. The problem Russia faces is it does not look like they can take enough of Ukraine to make any real buffer zone and it does not look like they will get regime change.
    1
  1322.  @Kenny-bj2zq  agree 100%. I am doing a simple enough commercial system so I know a little about what is involved.
    1
  1323.  @timothywootton5331  actually a few NATO have been captured and its guaranteed a few died. India looses = 0 China loses = 0 Hmmm wonder why? Maybe its pointless to check losses of nations not actively in the war?
    1
  1324. In this was there will likely be no backing down. As long as Ukraine is supplied with weapons Russia will keep going.
    1
  1325. Nothing broken.... That's definitely different. Great though. Its a little unnerving to see tools fail every time.

  1326. You want to start a war with Iran now? Say goodby to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. You know what that will do to the global trade?
    1
  1327.  @mikeneill6813  or course its one possible scenario. Maybe Iran will sit still or maybe not. At this time it would be very unwise to test that. Ideas like that can cause war in another theater and that's one step closer to a global conflict.
    1
  1328.  @mikeneill6813  yup. If Israel does the attack that stays local most likely. Israel is careful though because Russia and Iran are quite close right now. Who knows what Russia would trade for some missiles.
    1
  1329.  @MausMasher54  If the Neptune is so great why do they need any other missiles from others? Won't it make more sense to ask for land based weaponry that can be used in Donbas? Surely they have more than 1 Neptune. Something is seriously fishy. Seems like a story to boost morale again.

  1330. Nah I think most are smart enough to realise its pointless to fight and loose everything in the process.

  1331. Rest of the NATO members - buy my weapons. You can pay later.

  1336. Like you comment on Seeker. Just 2 weeks ago I called out another of their videos. Its all about crunching out videos to make a buck and getting catchy headlines. Sadly many people do not have the background or desire to get the background to do simple back of the envelope calcs.

  1340. This series ironically reflect YouTube's position. Maybe their golden era is coming to an end when free thought is singled out and stifled. Not one even but a series of small changes that may lead to a stagnation in a few years.
    1
  1341.  @jameskuyper  I am not saying Russia does not play dirty but Ukraine conveniently finds some "evidence" every time the attention is waning. The reality is Ukraine has a much better acting team so they come across much more realistic. Russian propaganda attempts come off jokey.
    1
  1342.  @jameskuyper  sadly it does seem so. Many lives wasted. So it has been in the past and so it shall be in the future with the whole world rearming themselves. Human greed and inability to resolve differences has not changed in thousands of years.
    1
  1343.  @jameskuyper  I don't think Russia is leaving. This will only keep escalating. Its almost NATO against Russia now. If they ever clash this can go nuclear. The simplistic view is to blame Russia but realistically both sides are escalating.
    1
  1344.  @jameskuyper  I disagree with escalation. NATO countries escalated by supplying weapons. It would be interesting to see the reaction if Russia supplies weapons to the next country US invades. You will see the hypocrisy of the west then. Russia is bluffing on the nuclear side for the moment. Its just meant to ensure NATO knows what will happen if they fully engage. NATO knows that too. Russia cannot win if they gang up. Their only option would be nuclear. I agree though that Ukraine can hit Russia. I find it amusing that they complain when they are leveling that country. They need to use their own weapons though. I am sure they have soviet era weapons that they can use. NATO weapons get dicey. I think even Polish weapons might not trigger too much of a reaction but US or UK weapons might be too far. NATO is the one that needs to balance this right. We cannot rely on Russia to do that or all of us may be doomed.

  1348. Of course Russia is getting good feedback too. If they are smart they will find a way to capture some of these systems. Probably use them as trading chips with China.

  1350.  @stewpidasoe3102  but the original comment is not about shooting. Its about bullying nations to do what Nato wants. Time for the world to grow some balls and tell them off.

  1351. Nice video. As a patent holder myself I think you covered the topic good. In fact I wrote my patent and drafted the claims but final claims was done by a proper patent attorney. Spreading the claim right is technical. Enough to get the most out of it but not too much that other patents are infringed or brought in by the examiner.

  1352. A few people on top with agendas set nations at war that leads to a generation of hatred. More seeds planted for future terrorism. So sad.

  1353.  @crbwr6062  Both will loose but Ukraine is already the much bigger looser. They will take a generation to recover. Apart from pittance pledges no one will rebuild the country to where it was before the war far less improve it. If it get n EU its people will leave. All the women and chiildren that left are not guaranteed to return unless forced. How many have started relationships and will stay abroad? Many many of the men would be dead or seriously injured. Can't work. There is no future for the country already.

  1360. The damage does not look very bad at all. I am betting they can do a steel span over the holes as a temporary measure.
    1
  1361.  @JamesC785  not disagreeing that the damage is going through the second level too. A set of steel beams spanning over the damage areas bolted to the concrete structure along a good span seems like it will work. OF course sheet plating above that. Worst case it needs to span from one column to another. That said I do not know how far apart these are.
    1
  1362.  @Conan-ny1um  I doubt that. It will get repaired soon enough. Makes no sense for Russia to leave it damaged when they need to use it.
    1
  1363.  @JamesC785  one of the bridges with a lot less damage was visited by Patrick Lancaster and the damage is shown fairly well. You can have a look at that video. This second bridge seems to have a lot more damage though.
    1
  1364.  @JamesC785  quite possibly but its a lot more realistic than the western news. He has shown people who are neutral and those who are just fed up with both sides.

  1365. Well this may be among your last videos. I sure Bin Salman will not too kindly to this video.

  1366. So far the western calculus has been very wrong.
    1
  1367.  @suilfisean  for the sake or argument since you have a real account (not that your mind will be changed) lets start with your comment. 1 country joined NATO. The other is still begging Turkey for permission. US is doing their usual strong arming but no luck so far for Sweden. Moving on to the Finish border. Its useless. No one can send an army over that border. Its mountainous and has very very limited roads. Feel free to research and counter this. Ukraine is flat open land. Tanks can just roll over. Even further Sweden and Finland were practically in NATO anyway. Many drills together for years. Ruble is falling for sure. Germany is in recession. Many others are in decline. Lets see Russia collapse and I will take that as a real point. All the idiots in EU said Russia would collapse in a few months, then 6 months, then a year. It has not. Its hurting more than EU but EU is hurting too. Ukraine is dead. No one will resurrect that country. So yes the west has been wrong at every turn. Its really clear for anyone who wants to be objective.
    1
  1368.  @suilfisean  yeah Turkey is negotiating for F16 planes. Its still one NATO as of your writing. Yes is matters the quality of the border. It a world of difference if a war breaks out. That is not debatable. From a missiles standpoint any of the Baltics is just as good or even better. Sweden and Finland were technically neutral but not practically. If either of them was the country Russia attacked NATO countries would have had boots on the ground officially. As I said I agree Russia will suffer. EU is suffering to a lesser extent. US is benefiting from LPG and weapons sales. China and India are benefiting from cheaper oil prices. Ukraine will not be built back. Who is going to do it? EU is not going to give more than token contributions. US only interest is in weakening Russia. Heck if the republicans win weapons at this rate is not guaranteed. No one is going to lend them the hundreds of billions now or trillions required in the future. Agreed the west is doing fine. Their calculus has been wrong from day one. That is the point I was making. All their assumptions that guided their policy has been dead wrong. Look back at videos one year ago. Look back at what the leaders were saying. In the end the west will come out better than Russia. That we can agree on. Anyway it was good debating. At least you have some sensible rebuttals even if we disagree. Not too may out here seem to be able to do that.

  1369. Biden's comments means nothing. He hopes for something but has no clear mechanism in place by which it will occur. Pointless conjecture.
    1
  1370. Its true Russia is not fighting Ukraine alone at all. I won't be surprised if someone leaks info about "informal troops" either. But if India and China join in we definitely have the beginning of WWIII. That does not sound good. Heck we may still have WWIII if US continues to escalate its aggressive stance.
    1
  1371.  @chloerichardson9232  definitely a failure if China openly ignores the sanctions. Absolutely nothing US and NATO can do.
    1
  1372.  @davidastley5819  and the US was the aggressor is no many different wars. It really does not matter. War takes two to tango. Zelensky decided not to be neutral. Russia reacted. Cuba decided to not remain neutral and decades later they are still victimised by US. That's life. When you're a small fry don't get in between the big fish.
    1
  1373.  @davidastley5819  sure Putin is wrong but Zelensky is an absolute idiot. One of the dumbest. Say your neighbour walks over and puts a gun to your family and asks for a small piece of the land in your back yard what will you do? If course your neighbour is wrong but will you risk your family's life over that?

  1376.  @bryandimery6509  Zelensky is purging all the people who are not fully loyal. He is a useful minion so the US will prop him up financially for some time. Regime change can only be achieved through this war. Yes the US and EU overstretched their hand this time and everyone sees that. China especially is looking on since they intend to tackle them after they are finished with Russia.

  1386.  @IvanADigon  no one is saying they are incapable of fighting as people. However they are incapable of putting up any serious fight without donated weapons. They have no money to buy weapons. Heck that takes years anyway. They do not even have money to run the country. Its supported by US mostly at present. How long do you think a government that does not pay its workers will last? The soldiers are not fighting for thanks. They are fighting for a salary paid by NATO. They are just slightly above Wagner. Both are at the mercy of the weapon suppliers and paymasters.

  1415.  @davidgalloway266  yeah but that is just the reality. More powerful nations invade less powerful ones. US invaded several countries in the last few decades but they were not European so it was fine. Barely a complaint far less a reaction like this. Seems very racist.

  1416.  @davidgalloway266  you don't need to contemplate colonial expansion. US does it already but with a different flavour. Sphere of influence they call it. They have been interfering in everyone's business for almost 100 years. Solve that much bigger problem and we can take on Russia after.
    1
  1417.  @davidgalloway266  how nice of the NATO to supply arms for them to fight a proxy war. In this scenario they die and the coutry is destroyed.....oh wait, that's what is happening. Quite stupid actually. The country should have negotiated but Zelensky is just a puppet at this stage. Internationally observed referendum would have been the smart move but you see that's not aligned with "western" interest. So the blood is on the hands of both sides. Both wanted war and they got it.

  1433.  @Andygb78  you missed the point. The west will never buy from China or Russia. They are irrelevant. Its the markets in the developing countries that may take a chance on cheaper planes. This has now forced Russia to move in that direction.
    1
  1434.  @Andygb78  oh they will be very bothered. Right now only two companies control all of the airline industry. Every sale is money in their pockets. The non market in non aligned countries is big and will only keep increasing. This will definitely hurt the west. Its like the gas situation. EU is now starting to realise the cheap gas is possibly gone forever. Makes EU products that much more expensive and less competitive. EU will hurt badly. Russia will hurt worst. No good outcome for them.
    1
  1435.  @Andygb78  yes you are right that the market is small compare to the western market but those are the ones that are growing. It will be a loss in sales and would get another competitor into the market. That is not good at all. Look over at the video and you will see where it states Russia's market is 6% (that will drop). Not sure what the Chinese market is but I am betting its not insignificant. Add a piece of the African market. Maybe some other third world countries that are not flushed with case. Iran market. Maybe some of the domestic south american market and you are easily at 20% This is significant. Yes its a few years before this happens but because Russia is forced they have no choice. It wasn't smart to push them like this. It will hurt the western interest in the medium term. Many of the sanctions were not well though out at all.
    1
  1436.  @Andygb78  I don't think democracy is the sole reason that the west is rich. Europe has centuries of ruling over the world in a large part due to their innovations at that time. They have been ahead a long time. Other places are catching up. USA is really a combined Europe with slaves to start with. They have some really good geography so that helps a lot. They got really rich after WWII since all other industrial nations were destroyed. They tax the world to this day with the international currency. Finally they maintain the status quo through very dodgy means from manipulation, threats, wars, funding rebels and terrorist groups. That said USA does a lot of good too. Take this forum. Lots of our commercial items are here or cheaper due to them. I would say communism has worked well for China. Its amazing where they have reached in the last few decades. They are doing well in innovation too. They are a new arrival so they are not contributing anywhere close to USA. China's leaders seem to have the right approach at each stage for them to prosper. Maybe Xi passes in a few years and they move a bit more western. But this must be an organic shift driven from within. People's right to determination. West has tried to push democracy in several countries and inevitably it has failed miserable. Democracy works for me and you but that does not mean it works for everyone and is the best system. Let every nation decide on its own.
    1
  1437.  @MsSquirl00  so why would the russians not be able to make their own commercial planes?
    1
  1438.  @MsSquirl00  I definitely think Russia is going to see some hard times. EU will too but much less so. Russia needs to diversify anyway so what happens today was probably coming in 10 to 15 years. Fossil fuels are dead in the medium term. Their price will drop significantly once the use as fuel diminishes. . Russia can build planes and engines. They have been for many years in the military arena. Sure maybe recently they have been using western component but they can rejig and make what they need or import from China and possibly India. They may not be the latest designs with composite fuselage but they will be cheaper than a western plane. I think they stand a good chance. They have no choice anyway. China is a way along too in the airline industry. Not as far in my limited opinion but they can make many of the finishes needed. Some corporation and maybe there is a third player in the market by 2030. For third world countries with less money to spend this can really be a benefit.
    1
  1439.  @MsSquirl00  yes Russia will burn. The question is whether it rise from the ashes or fade into a backwater. There is a decent drive at the top but is it all rhetoric that cannot be supported by reality or can they leverage BRICS? If they cannot get along with the west and the west cannot get along with them lets hope the divorce is amicable as possible given the current conditions. Lets hope it does not escalate too much to the point where we all loose big time.
    1
  1440.  @johnhaller5851  agreed on all your points but what choice do they have. They have to partner with China. Where they fall China will have to step up. Both have been eying this market for some time. This now makes it a priority. Russia will be out of planes in a few years. They cannot stop using planes. Unlikely they can use military planes as a long term solution. I think it would have been better to keep them on the hook on this one at least instead of pushing them.

  1441. I don't understand why he didn't just say Ukraine will eventually join NATO. They will be at Moscow's doorstep and this has stop. Sounds a lot better than his current narrative.
    1
  1442.  @rick7424  you've lost me there. Are you saying Putin always tells the truth and he will not "lie" and say its NATO pushing him? Hmm. And you think the neo nazis explanation sounds better and is true?
    1
  1443. No issue. Russia was a little slow to the media circus. Now they understand they need to announce everything like Ukraine does.
    1
  1444. If a poll is redone after a few years the war I would guess a lot of Ukraine would opt to join Russia. The country is now devastated and they will not be rebuilt by the west. Surely not by USA under Trump. Not by EU since they are struggling already. They won't meet the criteria to join EU. Their only hope is going back to Russia. At least much of the eastern side.

  1448. Amazing. Really enjoyed this video.

  1449. EU is so hopeless its not funny. What's the point of announcing a sanction that some members will find a loophole in and will only take effect at the end of the year. Ban immediately or just forget it.
    1
  1450. Hey Germany wanted this to stop so they could get back to their cheap gas. Then the US (most likely) dealt with Nord Stream so Germany could not cut a deal with Russia to get through winter. They have no choice now to just continue with the narrative. No benefit from negotiating with Russia so it won't happen.
    1
  1451. I bought Ryobi bits last year and I am very disappointed. They put on the hex shank by pressing one side in. That led to the bit not being in line with the hex shank. Pointless if the tip of a bit wobbles too much to use it.

  1454.  @nomecreona3829  this channel is really biased.
    1
  1455. Europe and EU does not have leaders with the mental capacity to do anything sensible. They are at Biden's level hence the agreement under that regime. Vance is right in his comments. Trump is a wildcard as usual. Don't take the rhetoric too literal. That's dangerous. He will swing the next way tomorrow. Zelensky is an idiot but EU refused to see it. EU will talk big but get very little done on their own. You wonder why the US is moving away? No respect. Without US support this war is done.
    1
  1456.  @8G00SE8  So why did the Cuban missile crisis occur? Proximity affects response time. Its critical.
    1
  1457.  @8G00SE8  Poland does not share a border with Russia. It can host missiles and that's an issue for sure considering how aggressive the Polish have been in this conflict. I would bet Russia has more aimed at Poland than anyone else from the former soviet states. Submarines are a lot more limited and cannot remain in a position indefinitely. Not saying they are not beneficial but a land base has a lot of merit too.
    1
  1458. No NATO plus several countries have managed to slow Russia utilising Ukrainian manpower. They have exhausted all strategies, sanctions and much of their weapons and have now realised its pointless. Common sense is not so common it seems.
    1
  1459.  @zoltankramer3383  I have to agree with you. Its really pathetic how much he begs.
    1
  1460. Now that sounds a bit racist. Anyway no opinions matter. We are just postulating. Its the outcome of the war that matters.
    1
  1461.  @DarkRoomAmbience  stop trying to rewrite what was said. The stupidity of the western leaders is amazing. US will actually thrive but Europe will decline if they cannot get people with some semblance of logical thinking in power.
    1
  1462.  @Matt1975ism  well that's a very productive stance. Lets just support nations destroying nations we do not like. With respect to me feel free to come find me if you can. Your chances of success are marginally small.

  1463.  @omegaz3393  no the post just don't suit your side.
    1
  1464.  @jasinrudd1291  they are definitely more US than Russian but right now Saudi not playing the US game. They not increasing oil and possibly going to sell oil in yuan. Israel is useful being neutral right now no need to upset that.
    1
  1465.  @user1qaz2wsx3edc  definitely seems Russia has a reasonable relationship with Israel but I have not been following that so maybe I have it wrong.
    1
  1466. And how are they going to win the media victories without declarations? Seems like that is as important to them as the military victories.
    1
  1467. Poland is not weak. The other two are useless.
    1
  1468.  @savagedabs8536  Yugoslavia attacked NATO?
    1
  1469.  AlexPerez-gs3pi  that's a really poor answer. This is the most important war for Europe since world war 2 and since of NATO is in Europe its the most important for NATO. Just call it straight. They know direct intervention will very likely lead to nuclear war and annihilation of both sides.
    1
  1470.  @savagedabs8536  sure lets call out Russia but lets also call out all the other nations. When that is done then its fair.
    1
  1471.  @kwamesimmons9510  exactly. Its a complicated game. I was expecting Maduro to be on his last legs by now but it seems he is rallying this through so far. i would really like to see a proper analysis of the players though and what are the likely outcomes with some time frame predictions. Agreed on Guyana border dispute. in fact apart from rhetoric I do not expect Venezuela to act on that. Its suicide to do so.
    1
  1472. Yeah shear luck. They didn't develop them. Won them in a lottery by luck.
    1
  1473. They won't intervene. US would be happy for sure. They would then be able to focus on their main target, China.
    1
  1474. All US can do is another proxy war. They cannot directly engage China without some serious repercussions for themselves. They are not stupid enough to directly engage a nation with nuclear weapons and means to deliver to mainland USA.
    1
  1475.  @albertteng1191  ent that true. When it suits them the US can go home but the Filipinos have to live next to China forever.
    1
  1476.  @khiem1939  what??? Nothing last forever. Who is cutting off trade with China? Surely not the rest of us civilised people.
    1
  1477.  @thomasherrin6798  that's the stupidity. No nation that is not fully aligned is comfortable with any reserves being where US or EU can get to it. Just shot themselves in the foot.
    1
  1478.  @cooldued5308  ok but what does that have to do with my comment on Estonia?
    1
  1479.  @patrickpalmer2203  no Estonia is a pompek. Small insignificant country that likes to bark and is maintained by bigger animals that actually have a fight in them. BTW all the nations are still very afraid of Russia. Poland is itching to get into thefight from day 1. Why have not gone in? Why did Finland join NATO? Why doesn't the US go in and clean this up in 2 weeks like many not too ,,,, people online think? The evidence is overwhelming.
    1
  1480.  @marksnyder8022  why would anyone need to buy fighters for Ukraine? I thought all the equipment was given or when there was payback involved it was understood that would be after the war.
    1
  1481.  @DarkRoomAmbience  and I am sure you will agree its a proxy war. Where do you draw the line between helping and being a party? Fully supply of equipment, intelligence and financing the entire country. If NATO sent boots on the ground it would surely be over soon. Russia would be forced to bring out the tactical nukes. It quickly escalates from there to complete destruction of Russia and NATO (except Turkey). Even Finland and Sweden will go since they are practically NATO anyway.
    1
  1482.  @ThizzyMan  again let me point out that NATO is providing 3 out the 4 requirements so its just semantics saying they didn't provide troops or a few specific weapons. Further they have very actively tried to cripple Russia financially. That is an economic war. If we want to play with words Russia isn't fully in this war since they have not used tactical nukes yet. How dumb does that sound? Its the same for NATO not sending specific weapons. NATO is directly involved in this war and in fact in the driving seat. Ukraine is the HR manager.
    1
  1483.  @ThizzyMan  I was just using a simple weapon in one arsenal that was not used does not mean Russia is not fully in this war. Same applies to NATO. Not using some weapons for whatever reason does not mean they are not in the war.
    1
  1484.  @ThizzyMan  fine NATO is partially pregnant. Not really fully pregnant. If that suits you go with it. I am a little more simple. Either they are in or not in. I have clearly shown they are the providers of 3 of the 4 components needed to conduct and sustain the war.
    1
  1485.  @neilhands1708  seems Russia got drones from Iran. China and North Korea is not supplying. They are allies because of the open aggression to them from the west. That's about it. You can spin NATO involvement how you want to but it does not change the facts. Very few NATO countries have not sent weapons to Ukraine. I do not know how many Russians are being fooled by their media / government. Definitely the western side have a lot of people with the inability to think in an unbiased fashion.
    1
  1486.  @ThizzyMan  "passive involvement" No this is full active involvement in everything except the manpower. I hope China and Russia "passively involves" themselves the next time US decides to invade a country.
    1
  1487. While this is not directly useful to me thanks for sharing and I also want to thank the Danfos people for making software available.
    1
  1488. Or US slows down military support.
    1
  1489.  @ukchatman4920  looks like its slowly creeping to a full NATO fight. We will see how that works out. The baltic states would surely have a big problem. They bark a lot for small nations because they believe they are under NATO protection. If it goes full scale they are doomed.
    1
  1490. No great loss at all.

  1491. So if this guy is the US air force secretary whom do you think knows better, you or him?

  1492.  @sheepdog5799  yes for sure. Everyone is lying.

  1493. I would venture to say half of the comments here are by a bot. Scroll though and you would notice.
    1
  1494. So lets say Russia falls in this war what would be the point of NATO then? Are they going to go after China to make themselves relevant?
    1
  1495. So when US invaded Iraq was it not US being the aggressor? Why didn't the world send weapons to Iraq? Such simplistic views cannot capture reality.
    1
  1496.  @wolfswinkel8906  ent that the truth about the no fly zone. People getting tied up with CNN and Fox news. They should forget all the "experts" and look at the actions. That is the real reality.
    1
  1497.  @tomjones7184  and crash the entire european economy for what? A fight between brothers? In the real world that will never happen.

  1498. If that happens do you expect the Russians will retaliate?
    1
  1499. So its ok to steal then? The end justifies the means?
    1
  1500. Exactly
    1
  1501.  @DarkRoomAmbience  you should stop pretending you read either. Clearly not too sharp either. Might I suggest you make a more intelligent comment the next time you seek out my comments to reply?
    1
  1502.  @大象大头  that happens in almost all countries. The government may be a more restricted in democracies but they still have a lot of leeway especially under the guise of national security.
    1
  1503.  @大象大头  I think both systems have their advantages and pitfalls. Pure capitalism is devoid of humanity to some extent. If you fall down and have no health care insurance tough for you. Even in US families middle class families can go bankrupt with medical bills. Money talks and nothing else matters. I agree with your opinion that many times the poor does not stand a chance. They think they have the right to vote but realistically is the same shit under a different banner. Idealistic communism has benefits too but realistically human nature does not allow that purity to survive. Corruption at the top and a few elite, like in capitalism, make that system a mess too. I grew up and still live in a democracy and I would not trade it for communism. Of course I cannot understand communism like a person that grew up in that environment. I will not pass absolute judgement though. If the system works for China then that is fine with me. Outsiders have no right to intervene. Anyway I think the major problems in these systems are the people that administer them.
    1
  1504.  @大象大头  I think China's future is bright. China has learnt from the west. They learnt how international lending works and implemented similar in Africa. I agree they are changing but slowly and I think in the right direction for the benefit of all Chinese and much of the world. Interestingly if a fair poll was done today the approval rating of the Chinese government by its people may be greater than many western democracies. Heck even Putin has probably has a higher rating than many western leaders.
    1
  1505. That looks terrible.
    1
  1506. Should kick the US and UK out too for invading Iraq. By the time we are finished no one would be a permanent security member. Anyway they cannot kick anyone out.
    1
  1507. Russia needs to stop complaining. Strike back like they did for the bridge or accept it if they have no capacity to retaliate.
    1
  1508. Actually I think they are just complaining like Zelensky since it seems to be working in the media wars. Not really working for them though but it gets documented.
    1
  1509.  @j.erickson8571  Biden could not stop this war. Once there was a change of government in Ukraine this train wreck was booked. It was just a matter of time.
    1
  1510. Nope. From the looks of it they do not stand a chance.
    1
  1511.  @Percival5  I really don't know how many times Ukraine mobilised because its not reported on the sites I visit. The last one with women is telling. Clearly its not going well at all. Russia definitely had one mobilisation since anything they do is covered.
    1
  1512. Well said
    1
  1513. Israel should be careful how they are threading. Iran and Syria can cause them much stress if backed by Russia and China.
    1
  1514. Doesn't matter what you think. They cannot be defeated on their soil since they will surely use the nukes. The best that the west can do is try to push them out of Ukraine. Ukraine itself seems incapable of this so it has to be some NATO countries "acting on their own, helping Ukraine." Poland comes to mind.
    1
  1515. Seems US is really worried North Korea may sell weapons to Russia. Who really thinks North Korea even listens to anything the US says?
    1
  1516. Zelensky is such an ass. This could have been done many moons ago. What happen to fight to the death? Never surrender.Guess he was just talking crap.
    1
  1517. @Karl Schmidt USA is full so sh.t More so than Russia or Ukraine. USA justifies everything they do to their brainwashed population. There rhetoric does not work on many people outside their country and especially outside NATO.

  1518. Maybe the Pope is right.
    1
  1519. Of course. Tit for tat. I think he should hit the bridge again and see what happens this time.
    1
  1520.  @YouTubeGlobalAdminstrator  its illogical. Russia fires way more shells. Reportedly 6 to 10 times more. Ukraine claims to kill 10 times more than Russia. That's a factor of 60 to 100. Its clear somebody is lying. Figure out whom.
    1
  1521.  @vernonkuhns3561  the challenge is everyone is lying to suit their narrative. We will never get straight information from any side.
    1
  1522.  @volkerr.  maybe some simple functions can use those chips. Nothing sophisticated though. Let me give an example. The master window console uses a chip. This is a simple one that allows windows to go up once you start them. It allows all doors and windows to lock from the driver console. I am not guessing this. I have videos up on my channel albeit with a nissan door control module. I have done a lot more detailed new board design and I have ordered low end chips. By no means am I an expert but I am definitely not without some knowledge.
    1
  1523.  @tsumugikotobuki0131  I am betting he has his use yet so he will not be taken out now. Maybe later on. It's US intelligence he needs to worry about. Might be why he is in the same clothing as his men.
    1
  1524.  @ankurhaldar8836  agreed that looks difficult. If we tie 2 and 3 together then its retreat or nuclear. Do you see Putin retreating?
    1
  1525.  @MrSonofsonof  I don't see Putin going nuclear easily but I don't see him retreating. Plus there is no guarantee the sanctions will reverse. They will keep pressuring for regime change. Its in US interest. They will get control of all Russia's vast resources. They smell blood in the water and they will not stop till they get what they want. What options do Putin really have?
    1
  1526.  @laosasid3914  of course they will. Brilliant comment.
    1
  1527. This looks a lot more serious. It's unlikely Ukrainians can operate this so the equipment is coming with technicians. What happens if they die? Is that a direct confrontation?
    1
  1528.  @wimclaes4411  I am not sure USA wants a direct confrontation but they want Russia completely out of the military picture. They are doing everything to make that happen. The challenge is the fine line of supporting Ukraine and getting involved keeps is starting to get blurred.
    1
  1529.  @wimclaes4411  I agree with the analysis of four options. My serious concern is if this turns into WWIII and goes nuclear. An alliance of the east is already a given. It cannot be stopped. The sanctioning nations pulled out all their aces. China has no doubts now what will happen if they plan on taking Taiwan. Everyone now knows no assets under the west if there is a chance your government may fall out with them. Of course that applies to governments too. I disagree that Zelensky is the main architect of sabotage. The US is the one pulling the strings. Remember when Zelensky was talking about dropping the NATO membership then it was not mentioned again. I believe the US did that. They are big winners in this. Trillions in arms sales over the next decade. If Russia falls and the new regime joins NATO who will be the new threat? China? Is it really necessary to have NATO then? Fall of Russia makes NATO unnecessary.
    1
  1530.  @jerryadams6799  that's good to hear. We do not need foreigners dying in Ukraine to escalate this any further.
    1
  1531.  @wimclaes4411  I think we disagree on a few point but we agree on most. I definitely disagree with the civilians taking up arms. He has made them combatants. Another this I disagree with Ukraine on is restricting fighting age men from leaving. If a person does not want to fight let them leave. He cannot force someone to fight. He is just adding mouths to feed and persons to act as a buffer. It's most unfortunate.
    1
  1532. Approved the manufacture? So when is that going to be ready? One year from now?
    1
  1533.  @ugli88  definitely agreed on that. I think at least one area in Ukraine will be rebuilt with much money spent to flaunt it.
    1
  1534. But how many? Just seems like they are getting less. It waits to be seen if the patriots will really help much. Russia will probe them and possibly figure out the weaknesses.
    1
  1535. Because that would overwhelm the air defense and they do not want that. Russia wants the air defense to be fire at every volley of drones and missiles. They are depleting it.
    1
  1536. Yup I tell people the same thing.
    1
  1537.  @fv5855  how does that make sense? China's biggest problem is US and their rotten attitude. Their only substantial ally is Russia. I think your analysis is off. Both need each other to counterbalance the west.
    1
  1538. Would you want him representing you? Boom or bust approach is really poor for international politics. Everything is a compromise but he does not seem to catch that.
    1
  1539.  @michaellugassy5088  sounds good. Russia will just blow their planes out of the sky when the pass over Syria and they will sell fighter jets to Iran. Israel will loose more by far.

  1552.  @lemongum9166  well that's a simple common sense choice. The dictator of course. He will die long before the effects of nuclear war goes away.
    1
  1553.  @D-Solo-Man  we may never know the truth unless an independent international team from relatively neutral countries like India and Turkey (?) do a thorough investigation and make all the information available for scrutiny. It may end like Nord Stream where there is no independent investigation and just speculation.
    1
  1554. And who should know south Ukraine better than Ukrainians?

  1555. Should "unstick" the front lines.

  1556. Yes that was unfortunate. The system never moves that fast anywhere. One has to wonder if he even had access to unbiased legal counsel. Its even possible he was threatened to plead guilty and he would live. Plead innocent and he would be found guilty anyway and executed. Maybe he really did the crime but its unlikely this was done fairly.
    1
  1557.  @KesslerSpaceIndustries  I would disagree. Consider the amount of energy required to make an EMP device that indices a high enough voltage to destroy all systems in the US. Not going to happen. After he talked about car starters not working at 3:25 I stopped and moved on. That makes no sense. I have opened a car starter and have a video up on it. It is not susceptible to an EMP.

  1558. I believe you have just upped your level. Congrats. This is as scientific as you can get in a home workshop. Saw the thermocouple and at times the reading was visible but in future can you add in that data too on your presentations.

  1559. EU and US really full of themselves. I hope the world pushes back really hard. Ignore or defy them where possible.

  1560. If there is no mechanism to remove a notion from NATO then Turkey should stay in but buy from whomever is willing. I would say they should go to the French just as payback for the submarine deal.
    1
  1561.  @herhangibirisi_  I figured there is rivalry and the support for Greece but I also figure french play dirty all around. I am betting if Turkey is a better customer they will drop Greece or at least loosen relations. That could be a win win.

  1562.  Alex Perez  They not funding anything. Ukrainians are just the dumb labour in this operation. They provide nothing else.

  1568. This nuclear plant issue is really bad for Ukraine if its proven they attack. Only idiots would continue to supply them.

  1569. Zelensky will use the war to consolidate power. Flavour of the year is Ukraine. If he can keep the momentum he can put pressure on them to ignore a few wrongs and admit Ukraine.

  1570. Great video. Good engineering. Good explanations. Not fanatical to the point that anything Elon does is magic as evidenced with closing comments.
    1
  1571. And that is why common sense is a good thing. Never believe because of who is involved. It happens a lot these days. People who do not know basic science just trust and fight viciously in comments sections. Just sad. Scams abound ans the world get smaller more suckers can be reached via the internet.

  1572. The US is spending billions. Surely excuses like its difficult does not cut it. They should put a little to ensure its bang for buck.

  1573. The irony of having a last name Rober and going after a robber. Anyway great eng project.

  1574. Zelensky and Prigozhin are very similar. Both need the PR to get money and weapons. Wagner is not that different from Ukraine.

  1576. "Intensifying their efforts" aka threatening and extortion. Once a viable option comes up the west will be sidelined by everyone the screwed over for the last century and more.
    1
  1577. Most of the world is a bit smarter than that. Western media has done a hell of a job on those consuming it.
    1
  1578. You want to see a moron? Look at Zelensky. Putin is very careful with his words. Whether you agree with him or not is another story.
    1
  1579. Whichever side of the fence you are on its likely the people on the other side see you as the fool.
    1
  1580.  @pjhgerlach  both sides have killers and likely both have murders.
    1
  1581.  @calvinblue894  some of these people are too pig headed to understand Taiwan is not a country. Its pointless trying to explain it.
    1
  1582. Russia will not bomb the US embassy. That is just idle rhetoric. They should push back though or they risk not being taken seriously. If they destroy any of the equipment they should make a big show of it just like the west does when sending it.
    1
  1583.  @DarkRoomAmbience  well it seems Ukraine didn't do themselves any favours on this one.
    1
  1584. Poorly written piece. It's now clear Russia has been planning this invasion for quite some time. I think it would be wise to assume they serviced enough of their nukes to be effective. Irrespective of the view on the war has anyone noticed no one wants to go in. If Russia is that useless then why not go in and finish this. Come on NATO grow some balls and try or shut up.
    1
  1585. Imagine a German talking about returning to good relations considering WWII. He should be mindful of German's past and current standing.
    1
  1586. The level of BS is not funny. All sides. We are not getting anything that can be verified as truthful.
    1
  1587. Zelensky is really an A Class IDIOT. First he want to negotiate. Then he doesn't. Country is being destroyed but he is waiting for Russia to weaken.
    1
  1588.  @larrycable1948  I thought a nation that was once part of the Soviet Empire would understand their mindset and understand they were never going to come out of this better. Still can't see how they cannot grasp this.
    1
  1589. It is a challenge trying to research this. Some time ago I was trying to see the percentage of traffic porn take out of the total over the years. Damn hard to find anything reliable. Great comments throughout the video and pinocchio was a good addition.
    1
  1590.  @boink800  sad the level of some people. If they don't agree with a position they resort to calling names.
    1
  1591.  @Whatdoesntkillyoumakesyo-cg6pd  but they can make precision missiles? Hmmm. That sounds very logical.
    1
  1592.  @Whatdoesntkillyoumakesyo-cg6pd  what???? You comparing rockets today to V2. You are definitely smarter than Einstein. You go strong.
    1
  1593.  @Whatdoesntkillyoumakesyo-cg6pd  you are really one confused individual. The initial comment is on the anti tank / personnel weapons as per the video. Continue making up your own topics and answering them. BTW if NATO is that great why doesn't a single one of them step in and fight? They should wipe the floor in a week.
    1
  1594. But how is that company going to make money on that? That's dam technology. Ancient. This is now all a game of who can present something they control and make some money on it. By the way your suggestion is common sense if you have a mountain to work with. The idea in this video makes more sense when there is no height to get a potential energy storage system.
    1
  1595. These things have implications that are far reaching. I guess we wait for the push back.
    1
  1596. Price is a very important consideration. Plus unless your foe is supported by an alliance of western nations the Russian equipment would probably get the job done.
    1
  1597.  @davidgray8089  I won't buy that. Its not making sense. How is Iran making drones if they are so heavily sanctioned?
    1
  1598.  @windymiller6908  maybe but a lot of the world goes for cheap. Look at China's sales for example.
    1
  1599.  @bekeneel  the Russian weapons are working well enough. They were taking ground with it?
    1
  1600.  @fv5855  you do realise the Philipines cancellation is most likely due to US bullying. Russia is in for a hard time for sure. I will enjoy watching EU go into recession also.
    1
  1601.  @jozefgoethals6867  it cannot. Any move in that direction will lead to an immediate response from China. That's why they have never tried it.
    1
  1602. Aliminium
    1
  1603.  @panan7777  I suspect spread out waiting for the Ukrainian offensive to come. When that is finished we will see how this all pans out.
    1
  1604. That's just the way the world works. Time for them to change their preferences to places where they are still welcomed.
    1
  1605.  Kevin Verduci  I would not go that far. Start with a simple fire. If it does not explode then its probably not a mine. Drop test from one of the destroyed buildings on a busted tank say. After that cut it with an angle grinder.
    1
  1606.  @mick20227  I was being sarcastic. A US sub surfacing means nothing.
    1
  1607.  @kenma8806  so? Apparently you think Russia and China have no defensive or offensive weapons of their own. US does not have the balls to attack a nation with nuclear weapons and a means to deliver them to mainland USA. They are still moaning about Pearl Harbor. Imagine what would happen if just one nuke gets through to a major city?
    1
  1608.  @onelov3288  I will bet not. I doubt there are any subs near where I am.
    1
  1609.  @kenma8806  what wacky argument you talking about. You're the one who brought up the additional submarines. They can only be a show of force if there is intention to use nukes. If not they are useless. Seems though we may be able to agree that building thousands of nukes is really a waste. No one really wants to use them and if they need to a couple hundred is probably the end for most of us. Russia and US seem to have a problem understanding this. Everyone else who has nukes have relatively small stockpiles.
    1
  1610. Russia either responds or dies. Lets see how it goes.
    1
  1611. Guess in the future it makes sense to skip to the end and see if there is a note about other parts on nebula.
    1
  1612. Agreed. Good to see a sensible comment here.
    1
  1613.  @78alJ0vle  as a response to nuclear weapons in Turkey. Should be interesting if Russia goes back to Cuba if Finland or Sweden host nukes.
    1
  1614. NATO is very involved. What happens if China starts supplying Russia. After all is done here the US is going after China. They make no secrets about that.
    1
  1615. New reality takes time to set in with everyone.
    1
  1616.  @Kiwjtastic  aren't we all getting smarter every day ..... at least till our memory starts to fail.
    1
  1617.  Khaffit  I think that you should probably question the regime that chose to turn a blind eye and not put him on trial. Instead they relocated him and put him in a top post to get to space. Proud moment for them if I recall correctly built on the backs of the same regime that killed millions.
    1
  1618.  Khaffit  just goes to show everyone has blood on their hands. War is a dirty business. Neither side can claim to be saints.
    1
  1619.  Khaffit  of course they had to be dealt with. They declared war and was invading. That does not mean the allies are squeaky clean. They did some despicable acts too.
    1
  1620. No no no. Russia has almost lost the war. Ukraine is willing for sure..... Why can't you work with the narrative?
    1
  1621.  @wolfvale7863  so Ukraine is winning? The western media is not making sense. Supposedly Russia is sending several times more shells than Ukraine but taking several times more losses. That's just plain impossible. Give it a few months and we will see. I am betting you will still be around.
    1
  1622. US does not need NATO approval to engage. The fact that they do not tells a lot. Think about it before you comment.
    1
  1623. If you bomb Kyiv they can bomb Moscow. Its called a war.
    1
  1624.  @pedrotrigo895  Well let back sanction the US for Afghanistan and Iraq. When that runs its course then we can deal with Russia.
    1
  1625.  @lazybob6665  no they didn't. That's really basic. Those buildings could never fall on their footprint. Thousands of engineers and architects queried it strongly.
    1
  1626.  @fredkitemuchmore7920  have you consumed too much US propaganda. They are the greatest threat to world peace.
    1
  1627.  @poo-tinthedwarfbunkerb1tch535  you do not need to cherry pick with America. In fact its difficult to list all the crap they do. Sad the level of puppets in the world.
    1
  1628.  @lazybob6665  thousands of experts questioned it. The pentagon was a missile strike. That's really clear from the pictures. Clear false flag. Anyway busy day. If you didn't catch it before you won't now.
    1
  1629. @Avery Chance no understanding of the real world. Sad really how many have similar ideas like you.
    1
  1630.  @drexxler138  his terms were quite reasonable actually but I guess a flattened country is better.
    1
  1631. @Avery Chance no I don't. He is as reliable as any politician. I really don't trust that they will not use nuclear. They keep saying no but it looks like its creeping up to that.
    1
  1632.  @j.pgoodwin9020  that makes absolutely no sense. Provide a link.
    1
  1633. ​ @Chuck_Hooks  in which scenario do you see Russia going through all those NATO states and reaching Germany to pose a real threat? Common sense says any battle will be fought in eastern Europe. Protecting oneself from missiles is another issue. That is always a problem regardless of the location of a country.
    1
  1634. ​ @shamanbhattacharyya9285  ?? I guess you see Russia as the one with bullying rhetoric aimed at Germany.
    1
  1635.  @Chuck_Hooks  you have not answered how Russia will get over all the NATO states to Germany. That is impossible. If Russia ever moves past Ukraine the war will be fought with NATO on Eastern Europe. That is not really debatable. Now Finland especially is a whole different issue. They are very vulnerable to Russia. They should arm. They should join NATO.
    1
  1636.  @Chuck_Hooks  so now you jumped to Poland. Still no answer how a Russian army will reach Germany without engaging NATO in Eastern Europe. Maybe you should answer or concede on that point. Poland should be very worried. They have been very aggressive towards Russia in this whole matter. A bit coward with the planes though. Anyway if Russia ever goes past Ukraine I am betting its Poland. That would be WWIII though so lets hope it does not go there. I don't have a dog in this current fight but I do like the current benefits of civilisation so I am much opposed to WWIII.
    1
  1637.  @Chuck_Hooks  Germany must try to protect against hyper sonic missiles. The rest is not as important. Of course years of under investing has come to bite them. I think its smart to get their own weapons. Of course its dumb of nations that have the capability of developing their own fighters to rely on USA. Europe really need to sort themselves out. BTW isn't there an American base on Germany? Why would they need F35 jets to carry nuclear weapons that are not their own? But lets be realist. It will never come to a war with western Europe. Russia cannot win. It is impossible. They will never bite off that much.
    1
  1638. Blatantly obvious this is a sponsored set of persons. No one is stupid enough to think they will go up against their government with a small force and get anything done except dying.
    1
  1639. I find it looked a little cleaner. Can you pull up the past cleaners and put them side by side? Is it worth it to use isopropyl alcohol instead of commercial cleaners?
    1
  1640. Actually she is surprisingly dumb. At least she is not the dumbest. That title is reserved for Liz and Kwasi. Those two geniuses almost crash the pound.
    1
  1641.  @fightingstreet23  those guys are a problem. I am not saying Russia is right to invade. I, like many others, didn't think they would do it. But now the west has gotten involved and is pushing an agenda, as they always do. They are fueling this further to the point now that all parties have a hand in it. Russia more than most but everyone has some blame. Zelensky has a lot of blame. He needs to negotiate and bring this war to an end. Its his people that are dying the most (civilian + military). He seems to be looking at this like its a video game. He insults countries if he does not get what he wants. The man is an idiot.
    1
  1642.  @Dustpuuppy  I don't think you understand politics. That's not how it works.
    1
  1643.  @heavyweather  not even an option. That is a clear premise for using nukes. The world will be destroyed.
    1
  1644.  @ultimusromanorum  and everyone is scrambling for a 4 tanks here and a 14 there to help them. People just want to ignore the facts.
    1
  1645.  @NunyaBizniz-tm7de  I don't think the ship was in Ukraine. Further Russia has nothing to gain from leaving so why would it do that? Its illogical at this stage.
    1
  1646. I never hear more s@#t. Biden concerned about nuclear war. He is the chief person (aprat from Zelensky) making antagonistic statements to rile up Putin.
    1
  1647. Zelensky is such a baby. He is constantly crying or begging for something. Military fatigues? Seems most of the time he is hiding somewhere. Definitely not close to the front lines. I really cannot see how the men on the ground can have any respect.
    1
  1648.  @rick7424  have you seen anyone beg more? Zelensky is partly responsible for this mess. It takes two parties that wont back down to reach to this stage. That's just the reality but of course the majority here wont catch it.
    1
  1649. Man do you sleep? Seems like you are always monitoring this war and coming through if something happens.
    1
  1650. They lie so much about Azovstal its not funny. Every day its a different number of people.
    1
  1651.  @fv5855  I agree Russia is doing a lot worst than expected. In terms of the retreat the west understood that play and it was a good one. Didn't work so a retreat is the sensible position to take. The current positions on both sides see fairly well dug in. You would think Russia would have rushed the position to make advances before western equipment arrived. Not sure they can progress further now without escalating again.
    1
  1652. Yeah he made some really dumb assumptions.
    1
  1653. Basically EU just proved how dumb they are. Any child over 5 could tell you kids don't share if you are against them.
    1
  1654. So what is stopping NATO from going in? Actions speak a lot louder than uninformed on the internet. And just to be clear uninformed is all of us.
    1
  1655. Don't bother to check again. You people will never catch that is was not Ukrainian nukes just like the nukes in Germany is not theirs.
    1
  1656. Lets be fair, its surprising the Germans lasted that long in WWII basically taking on most of the rest of the developed world.
    1
  1657.  @klake5375  yup they were not going to win.
    1
  1658.  @CurtisEarle-b7w  Zelensky will if he can get away with it. He is even more desperate now that NATO dangled him around.
    1
  1659. You have 4 videos up, I have 189 videos up so clearly I am not a bot. I can support whom I feel like.
    1
  1660. Are you trying to ask him not to be an a..hole. You are wasting your time. He has to attack someone so if its not put its his own. He will remove all his political enemies by the time this war is done.
    1
  1661. That does not look like it can stand up to anything.
    1
  1662. That would then lead to a significant retaliation on critical infrastructure in Ukraine. Russia has not been doing that or Ukraine would have been is real s@#%. Imagine they know off all the major substations and dams. No utilities at all functional. How would Ukraine continue this battle?
    1
  1663. Exactly. Put nuclear weapons in your country and that area becomes a prime target.
    1
  1664.  @uberbeeg  under current conditions why would Russia need to worry about Germany. From all accounts it seems there military is very under equipped. Its the nukes and US bases that put a bullseye on them.
    1
  1665.  @uberbeeg  I did not see Russia claiming 3 days. Post a link. Anyway if they decided to do a serious missile attack on Kyiv, much more than they are doing now, solely on Kyiv how long do you thin they would have lasted. They chose a soft approach which turned out terrible for them.
    1
  1666. Ukraine is to blame for their loses just as Russia is to blame for theirs.
    1
  1667. You have a link? Not finding anything on a search.
    1
  1668. Zelensky and proper thought processes do not go together. It would be a media victory and that's all he cares about.
    1
  1669. So Russia is doing meatwave attacks loosing up to 45,000 soldiers a month but they are not running out of men. Ukraine is not loosing any men but they are running out of men and commanders. Sad analysis.
    1
  1670. But its reasonable to assume China is not working with NATO against them so they should opt for chinese phones.
    1
  1671. It really embarrasses them. They are now political entities. Same that Russia will run out of missiles months now.
    1
  1672. The what would be the point of NATO? Without an enemy its pointless. Maybe then they will go after China?
    1
  1673.  @tomraider2554  NATO needs enemies to be relevant. They need wars. Their members are the biggest arms dealers. Lots of money to be made in wars. There is some serious conflicts there.
    1
  1674.  @tomraider2554  that makes no sense when it comprises of the largest arms dealers who generate trillions off war. Its blatantly obvious that US is pushing this war right now. They are pushing the hardest. Trillions at stake. Much of Europe is seeing the potential. Soon it will be a feeding frenzy. Ukraine will be in such a deep hole repaying for weapons and repairing the country.
    1
  1675. So Russians are a problem but the US getting into Iran's business is not?
    1
  1676.  @DarkRoomAmbience  Israel attacks their neighbours all the time. How is that different from Russia attacking its neighbour? Anyway they better be careful or their jets may fall out of the sky when they go to Syria or Iran. I guess its a matter of which is better to loose, a few pilots or US support.
    1
  1677.  @robertopreatoni  I was talking about the small craft in open seas not the large ship in the video. I don't know enough on the smuggling to comment either way. Unfortunate if that's true.
    1
  1678.  @Ptls68  maybe you are right to some extent but I have no evidence to verify.
    1
  1679.  @Tugela60  I doubt. China is in a quandary on whether to help Russia. If Russia falls they will be on their own fighting sanctions from the west that will definitely come in due course. If they go in they get those sanctions now but at least they have an ally. Tough call but I think they will stay out of this for the most part.
    1
  1680. But who put those sanctions? Now that Russia is more sanctioned they don't care.
    1
  1681.  @sk.43821  Russia is not a threat to anyone but the former Soviet states that is still sees as "its children". Russia is in no position to attack NATO and it will not. Germans and EU citizens will not get influenced and become communist. Russia is an imaginary threat that the lobbyist can use to support the military industrial complex and that is exactly what is being done so the sheep spend much more on defense and line US pockets.
    1
  1682. Nah. The west is not going to loose their cushy lives over Ukrainians. When it gets too serious they will drop them. All except Poland who seems like they really want to fight but still refuse to actually join.
    1
  1683. Useless to talk to US. They have a plan and will keep on that course. Nothing will change talking to them.
    1
  1684. The work done here is great. It saves the viewers a lot of guessing. Please keep it up. You got my thumbs up for sure.
    1
  1685. Obvious outcome. Dumb leader. Dumb Europeans. Smart Americans.
    1
  1686.  @volkerr.  so this shows men on rooftops is better than air defense missiles. Considering their cost that's a much cheaper solution too.
    1
  1687.  @wolfvale7863  definitely agree with you that the cheapest method that is effective is the best solution. Of course you need men at every "important" location but I suspect Ukraine has this. I do not trust Ukraine's reports. They do not make logical sense. The proof of the pudding is no more blackouts when drones and missiles continue to be send by Russia.
    1
  1688.  @seanavp  I suggest Russia escalates and see the western appetite for war. Its the logical position for them to take. Sanctions will remain even if they evacuate. The western goal now is to severely weaken Russia.
    1
  1689. Another very useful video. Never thought about the bearing method to test wear.
    1
  1690.  @wolfvale7863  I'm a an Absolut kinda guy. Don't have any Russian vodka. All I have done is shown the the same think the original commenter used as an argument can be viewed from the completely opposite side too. No one has shown that it cannot be interpreted this way. I assume he was making a light comment. I am not knocking him or anyone.
    1
  1691.  @wolfvale7863  just going with your serious logic then why has NATO not entered the battlefield with personnel? Is it that they prefer Ukrainians to do the dirty work and die alone?
    1
  1692. Hence the reason the Nord stream line had to be destroyed. Germany could not be trusted to stay the course of the war. Time for him to admit that too.
    1
  1693.  @Bialy_1  of course the line were going to be used by Russia to leverage some influence on Germany. The west couldn't allow that.
    1
  1694.  @TheRealBillBob  sorry not all of us can be as smart as you guys from the US.
    1
  1695.  @chadgaming8071  no this is a proxy war. If you don't catch that then no point explaining what I said. Surprised 3 people actually caught it.
    1
  1696.  @pierreshasta1480  agreed on all your points. What I said makes sense. Think about it from the Chinese side.
    1
  1697.  @Marvhead  how do you figure that? Who will do anything? It's all nice to talk but none of the western countries have the balls to risk nuclear war with Russia.
    1
  1698. He needs to buy a ton of coffee and not sleep at all.
    1
  1699. That would make sense if he had a second force and attacked as soon as they were withdrawing from Kiev.
    1
  1700. Definitely ply was not the best choice. That said I want to suggest an aluminium sheet in between the wood. Basically a positive half and a negative and press the aluminium in between to get the shape then assemble it on the wood. Even steel sheeting is a nice idea. This makes sense in a desperate situation where wood is available and some sheeting material. Even roof sheeting. Can an engine be made to work without casting and machining a head?
    1
  1701. Yup just the front line to weaken Russia at the cost of their lives.
    1
  1702.  James Mbaka  would be nice if it could get built and donated out to help with this terrible legacy that war leaves behind.
    1
  1703.  @omegaz3393  I heard about the ones that destruct. Realistically though those will not be the ones used in most places.
    1
  1704. Some time ago I actually cut a tire and counted all the reinforcement. Uploaded the video of it too in case anyone wants to see. Of course its only a specific tire from one manufacturer but I was just curious.
    1
  1705.  @aad9108  so that mean Ukraine can commit no hum rights violations? You have some weird logic.
    1
  1706.  @aad9108  where did I say that? Try to follow. There is a war. It matters not who started it when human rights violations are being discussed. Both parties are capable of committing war crimes.
    1
  1707.  @aad9108  you really not catching it at all. So if Ukraine soldiers capture a Russian soldier and decide to waterboard him till he spills information he may have is that ok? Have they committed a war crime?
    1
  1708.  @aad9108  so you cannot answer a simple question on "right and wrong". That's concerning.
    1
  1709.  @folasafaoa7558  amusing idea. Europe and US and Russia won't exist of that is attempted. Why do you think no other country has sent troops to support Ukraine?
    1
  1710.  @o2807  absolutely. Its amazing sometimes what people come up with.
    1
  1711. Amazing that people could design crap and get away with it.
    1
  1712. If Russia is relying on that level of news for information they are doomed. I am sure that have a lot better info. Both sides would have.
    1
  1713. Actually no it is not. Even US does not recognise it as a separate country. Heck a few years ago even Taiwan did not recognise two separate countries.
    1
  1714.  @chrisrobert5252  except they are.
    1
  1715.  @eddale5557  no its not. He will comply soon enough or he will be removed. This is my view. I have not seen it anywhere and of course I may well be wrong.
    1
  1716. Great video. Why were the rails put at that height? Are there cables close underground?
    1
  1717. Cause of death - major damage as a result of excessive speed Who's call was it for the car to be going at that speed? - Her boyfriend Could she have asked them to slow down? - Most likely but one can never be sure So who is to blame here?
    1
  1718.  @Gypsum179  yeah poor Iraqi people had no weapon sponsors. The next war US gets into I hope someone (aka China) supplies the other party. They need to test weapons anyway to improve them.
    1
  1719. Another very useful video. Thanks for the effort you put in.
    1
  1720.  @Marco911  YT algorithms are censoring heavily.
    1
  1721. Kyiv comments are likely to make sure they keep some troops there making the fight in the east easier.
    1
  1722. And that is why the US bullying cannot be supported. If no one stands up they will continue to suck the world dry for their interest.
    1
  1723. Never going to happen. Turkey would be extremely stupid to give Ukraine the S-400.
    1
  1724. I was wondering if the CIA got you.

  1725.  @Kodakcompactdisc  its not about supporting the losers. Its about having an ally. If Russia falls into then whom does China have in its corner when the west comes for it?

  1729. A few years ago I took one of those lights with a lead acid battery and replaced that with a Li-ion from a vape. At the time I did not have a charge control circuit to put in.

  1731.  @rickh3714  really? You get all that from one missile strike in an unknown village? Wonder what will happen if there was a war?
    1
  1732.  @miroslavdusin4325  actually I was half expecting the official statement to say Belarus. That can throw off blaming Russia or Ukraine. Can get it written off as an accident. Realistically though both Poland nor USA statement seem to hint they know who it was and if it was Russia they would have been screaming.

  1733.  @mrwong8584  guess you not too smart. Oh well you meet them all on the internet.

  1734.  @The_4811  as far as I know the type of missile was not disclosed yet. Seems everyone have Russian military equipment including USA.

  1737. Exactly. It was not about oil.

  1739. Amusing how stupid Ukraine was to attack the bridge. Don't cry now. Also amusing how NATO's sanctions and efforts are not working so they blame China. They should grow some balls and send troops in or just shut up.

    1
  1744. The upcoming offensive will determine the fate of this war. This is a last ditch by Ukraine. If they loose a lot of equipment and troops they are done. The territory is less relevant. If they take a lot of territory with few losses Russia will be hard pressed.

  1746. WTF. That is brilliant. Thanks for sharing this video.

  1748. Nah they will sell that on the black market and cash in.

  1754. Military Summary had a nice theory. Its being done deliberately to push the Western powers for more money, weapons and permission to fire into Russia with long range weapons. Zelensky and his bully tactics again.
    1
  1755. From early on I said Russia should do that but I guess they do not want the cost of repairs when the capture the territory. That is what is needed for Kyiv if they want to take them down.

  1756. Wait till it comes out that Ukraine did it. Zelensky will throw another tantrum and blame the entity reporting.

  1757.  @oi2837  Nah just the players in this conflict. The rest of us will be fine for 3 weeks till food runs out.

  1758.  @yin8838  Zelensky is an idiot. He is unimportant. The problem is Biden and Boris. They are the one pushing the war. If America comes out of this unscathed like WWII it will embolden them further.

  1759. Ukraine leadership is so annoying. Begging and when they do not get it verbally abusing the supplying country.
    1
  1760. Yeah. By the time this war is over quite a few countries will be fully demilitarised for a few years well.

  1762. Lets test all equipment. Send it. Lets see Russia's response.

  1763. That is a really dumb idea. You realise that opens the door for tactical nukes according to Russian doctrine? Don't be surprised if Russia is fanning this.
    1
  1764.  @khiem1939  but it will still fare better than Ukraine.
    1
  1765. Of course. Ukrainian soldiers are immortal so they should be fine.
    1
  1766.  @slippingsnake  so we agree then that nothing happens to Russia by changing and requiring the gas bills to be paid in rubles. I disagree. Russia is planning to put some separation between itself and Europe. They are now going to actively seek that. They are not afraid. As for projects in Russia well....... all I can say is Russia only has China as an investor now. They will see some tough times till they get on their feet (if they can manage that).
    1
  1767.  @slippingsnake  I don't quite agree on your analysis of the exchange mechanism but I am not an economist so maybe I have that off. This whole thing only works while Russia is selling gas and right now they seem to not care about their hurt as much as they care about Europe's. Just enough to string them along but not enough for their reserves to be filled. Uncertainty which leads to the price increase.
    1
  1768.  @slippingsnake  the Russian elite will find a way around it all. That's minor. Before this war Iran was the most sanctioned and they supposedly build advanced drones. Where do they get the parts? Where do they get the chips? It does not seem that hard to bypass it all. As I said I think Russia will suffer for a while. It depends on how they address the problem. Buckle down and develop some of the technology they import or not. Either way fossil fuels are out in 10 years. They need to get off their behind and start diversifying.
    1
  1769.  @slippingsnake  is it confirmed that he asked for weapons or just speculation? So many lies in this war its hard to tell the truth. I am sure they have an issue in Russia with the sanctions. Time will tell if that stops the Russian military.
    1
  1770.  @slippingsnake  fair enough analysis. I am not saying Russia is not interested in the drones. Just that I do not trust the media reports from any side. Lies are very prevalent. Agreed on Iran's interest. They have little chance of being cordial with the west so they are best placed looking to Russia and possibly China. In the future they may even approach India though being muslim nation that may be an issue (albeit Shia). I think Saudi is not clearly pro western either. The last trip by Biden didn't yield much. MBS is looking at how to carve out the best for Saudi and not blindly following so that's a challenge. India has also shown that they are not going to blindly follow the western line so that also poses a challenge for western hegemony. I think Tony Blair is right. Times are changing and a big catalyst is the trade wars with China and this war.
    1
  1771. Russia doesn't care. All of those comments are to build a case that this is a war with the West and not Ukraine. They are just pawns. The dumb labour.
    1
  1772.  @bekeneel  I really hope the bridge is attacked. Russia needs to take off the kiddie gloves and get on with this war or just stop where they are.
    1
  1773.  @LaplacianDalembertian  he is not making a joke. He really believes what he is saying.
    1
  1774.  @shuttlespace04  so you clearly missed the analogy.
    1
  1775.  @Oktokolo  if the end result is the same ie Ukraine is defeated then he should be held accountable for that poor decision. If Ukraine wins he is redeemed to some extent. Of course its destroyed, over 100k is dead and has no economy so I am not sure it can ever "win".
    1
  1776. I have known about this for over a decade but never really got the inspiration to try it since I don't really need it. This video has peaked my interest though i still do not have a need for a virtual machine. Great presentation. Appreciated the info presented.
    1
  1777.  @knightowl3577  that makes no sense.
    1
  1778. NO Germany's word has no value. Every time they say they are not doing something their allies squeeze their balls and they comply.
    1
  1779.  @nsevv  Ukraine has a population of around 44million. They can reasonably field an army of 3-4million considering males only and leaving out the regions Russia controls. I think 45,000 is way too high for a small town for sure. It's not that Ukraine doesn't have those numbers in soldiers.
    1
  1780.  @grahamebell4593  two weeks ago I said Zelensky's time is coming to an end. if he does not start negotiating the US will get rid of him. The problem is he cannot negotiate without going back on his words.
    1
  1781.  @wolfvale7863  you joking right? Ukraine is not mighty by any means. They are fully propped by NATO in this conflict. They stood zero chance without tens of billions in donations from the western world. This is indisputable.
    1
  1782. US is pushing for tension so it can find a reason to sanction China and restrict the growth of their economy. US will push for recognition of Taiwan as an independent nation in a few years. Taiwan is happy for a powerful ally. China needs to get all its duck in a row before it attacks Taiwan. That may occur after many nations recognise Taiwan as independent.

  1787.  @zacksulics8021  you didn't answer so confirmed parroting. Sad method of operation. Just like Afghanistan and Iraq welcomed the US? Any there is strong evidence that Russia is welcomed in the area they are in now by many. Not in Kyiv but in the east.

  1788.  @rachelcoisnacoillte  sure. I am curious how he is so hated but still won. BTW TY removes comments from general view but if the person checks it shows up. At least that was happening to me some time ago.

  1789.  @Theone-bc7tr  I didn't look into your elections in detail. Just strange that someone can be in power with that low a vote in the Westminister system. Guess you guys are stuck with him unless there is an internal fracturing and a vote of no confidence.
    1
  1790.  @albatross8361  it does that to me too. I suspect there is a rating system and once a user is flagged comments can disappear. I agree that there does not appear to be a consistent methodology.

  1793.  @runnergo1398  fortunately for me I have something called google. Clearly you are not smart enough to use it. Please seek some training and google elections in Russia. In fact Putin is way more popular among Russians than any western leader I can think off. Hopefully you learnt something about being an a__ on the net.

  1800.  @speedkar99  there are ball bearings but they were fabricated from the casting of the hub. Not separate bearings pressed in. Have a look at the video. You can skip to 2 minutes in but its not long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oSfq6ivgLY
    1
  1801.  @fun_ghoul  its just different though. I have never seen a bearing machined out of a casting. Its always been a bearing pressed in. The finish is quite good. Can't determine the composition of the casting though.

  1803.  @saucyinnit8799  Germany is definitely carrying a lot of the load while the southern nations just continue to be fiscally irresponsible. But Germany needs the market so it puts up with the kids.
    1
  1804.  @MrMacio96PL  so you don't like Germany's position. You really think that gives you the right to call me ignorant? I guess you consider all German leadership for decades to be ignorant too? Maybe you are smarter than all of them ....but I think not. Germany is the backbone that kept the EU afloat so everyone who benefited from their decisions are party.
    1
  1805.  @qefewfwdcwdc  you smell idiocy through the computer and you cannot smell your own? Several of those errors you point out I agree with btw. Buying F35 for example made no sense to me either. I wont blame the government for the green movement. That's the population pushing stupid ideas. It's not only Germany. The whole of Europe seems to be infected with dumb ideals. We disagree on China. I do not think they will shrink but I think they are not going to go too much further than where they are for a while. They have stretched as far as then can for this decade. The big change will be the monetary system shift. The US currency will not be the only one used for trade. US will never stop "protecting the seas" since that is one of the means they use to derive their power. Anyway for a very recent account (that I am always suspicious of) at least you have some sense. Much of them are just to push an agenda but cannot formulate a response when challenged aka bots.
    1
  1806.  @qefewfwdcwdc  you seem to have a serious problem with anyone with different views. Clearly you are smarter than everyone. BTW mr smart, people are already trading in yuan and it will only grow. There will be an alternate system to the SWIFT that is comparable soon enough. You should get out from under your rock a little more often. Times are changing and you may get left behind.
    1
  1807.  @qefewfwdcwdc  be serious. Many other countries have a reasonable future. Not sure why you included France. I don't see them growing. Their fate is tied with Europe's and that whole area is on a slow decline. Brazil has potential but its just squandered at present. India has too many people and there seems to be no slowing down so I am not convinced they will be able to lift a large amount of their population out of poverty. South Korea seems to have a bright future too. Getting into the arms trade too. Australia should improve from an already high standard. The nordic countries will likely continue doing well despite Europe's under performance.
    1
  1808.  @ΟΟύτις  I am not convinced Greece is with Russia. They wanted to sen S300 to Ukraine recently. Anyway the topic I brought up was Germany's issue. Seems their friends are not really friends at all. Internationally embarrassing your friend is BS. The internal EU politics is clearly deadly even though they all smile and wave as a cohesive bunch.
    1
  1809.  @qefewfwdcwdc  I don't think France is crap but I do not see them having as much potential as you think. All points you made on this are valid. Guess that's one we will see. I still think India has serious structural issues that will slow its progress significantly. Agreed on the other nations. They are definitely part or the "western alliance" and that is where they must remain. None of them will shift to the Chinese side of the fence. They will do heavy trading but that's about it. I still think South Korea will improve significantly compared to the rest of named countries. Also I see Japan declining and it has been going for some time now.
    1
  1810.  @qefewfwdcwdc  was good chatting with you too.

  1811.  @ΟΟύτις  orthodox religion but not Russian. Ukraine can be considered orthodox Russian (up to a few years ago) and that has not stopped a war. Anyway I get your point.

  1812.  @damian4926  so what is the right thing? I would say follow their own path and not get bullied.
    1
  1813.  @damian4926  I like how you structured your points. While I don't agree with many its well presented and I can see your side. With respect to limiting Germany in EU that cannot happen. Germany and France is the core. Everyone else just hangs on. So Europe has only shot itself in the leg. Too many idealist who do not understand the real world
    1
  1814.  @damian4926  Germany leadership is one of the weakest in EU right now. They cannot keep their stance for more than a few days. No one has any illusions about this. Germany stands no chance of standing up to the US. In fact they could not be trusted to stand up to the Russians so the Nord Stream had to be destroyed. As it stands now Germany is going down and the rest of EU will go with it. France will become the dominant member but I don't see that being enough to stop the decline. Another case of stupid ideas like shutting down the nuclear plants. Those are the people in charge. You thing they suddenly got some sense?

  1815. So what happens if its not replaced? I would expect the accuracy suffers but it still works. Does that matter that much to the Russians?

  1820. Next they will sanction his dogs.
    1
  1821.  @sylviahutchison5203  and they didn't move that money for almost 3 months? Then its not significant. The west is really making a fool of themselves. These sanctions are useless in the short term. It stops no war.

  1822. The host is typical western .....amusing. At least the guest is smart.

  1824. I like mechanical watches. Much cheaper ones though. Sadly I cannot find a suitable replacement for my current one. Seems they do not make the fine band I like anymore.
    1
  1825. If US does not openly "encourage" some members of NATO no new nations will get in. Clearly that is not happening for Ukraine because US itself is not convinced at this stage. With US elections around the corner the clock is ticking for Ukraine to give Biden a return on his support. No big wins and more western equipment being blown up will mean the democrats will need to find a way out.
    1
  1826. Hmm. Or maybe people really slow at reading so they now get to this. On a serious note this seems like its a movie storyline. Typical American plot. That would suggest the info in those documents are not to be trusted.

  1827. Be grateful Medvedev is not the PM of Russia. We would have had nuclear war by now.

  1828. Looks like Russia is making the full range of drones. From crappy to very sophisticated. Maybe they didn't think Ukraine called for anything sophisticated so the sent in the crappy first.

  1829.  @xman1533  that does not affect them. The sanction first and possibly think after.

  1830. John Doe you are right. Electric was never close. In fact the video shows this even with the slant taken by the presenter. I am not doubting the electric vehicle will gain more popularity and possibly even win the majority market share soon but that would probably be due to "incentives" at least in the short term. Basically another way of saying unfair competition.
    1
  1831. Richard Head oh my you confused your argument. The first part you talked about business without understanding the movement to push out fossil fuel. The incentives. The indoctrination of the masses. Don't be surprised in a few years there will be city centers where fossil fuel cars are not allowed. The second part of your argument is not aligned to the topic at all. Who said anything about what will be producing the electricity to charge the cars? That's a completely different topic.

  1832.  @susanlowell4759  one possible move for China is to buckle down and actually start actively supporting Russia. Its clearly US vs Russian and China. At this rate we may be heading for a global conflict.

  1834.  @steven6692  clearly you are smarter than Putin. Ran a country larger than Russia for dozens of decades.
    1
  1835.  @stevene9785  your response has some serious assumptions to the point were its not useful. 1. You assume you were told the truth about the buildings being a hospital. That's a great seller for suckers. 2. Ukrainian troops are hiding in non military buildings. 3. You assume Russian equipment is that precise that they can target a specific building. I am not convinced much of what is being used is very accurate. 4. You assume Putin is micromanaging to the point he is picking buildings to hit. This is in reference t my original comment and your response about running a country. Any of these don't hold up and your response is invalid. Chances are all don't hold up.

  1838.  @NothingButSilicone  which part of my statement is wrong?
    1
  1839.  @NothingButSilicone  the western world, specifically USA, is always right.They invade Iraq even though UN did not approve. Largest anti war protest ever. That definitely is a good reason to act against USA, UK et al. What was the outcome? So yes Russia is wrong to invade but many of the people pointing fingers did a lot worst in very recent times. Apply the action to all fairly then I will support it. Other than that is BS.
    1
  1840.  @NothingButSilicone  I disagree with separating recent past from present. Hypocrites. Yes some Americans protested too. There is always someone protesting in America. Russia is vastly different in psyche. Over time I learn more and more about the place. Of course it off media since I have never been there and have no intention of ever going. Anyway back to Russian psyche. You realise Putin has more support now than before the war? Some analysis was done on this to suggest this is not skewed numbers because people cannot speak. Going further you realise the people who leave Russia is not in tune with the general population. Sure many will be educated and the population is declining so it has a bad side. On the flip side it means a more harmonious society. Whether we agree with them or not is irrelevant. Its their country and their choice.

  1841. Ukraine is screwed any way you look at it. Win, loose or draw in the war they will loose economically.
    1
  1842. Ukraine is doomed. There is nothing there that they did not have before. They didn't even get the amount to replace losses. Oh well keep fighting but maybe defending is the better option for the time being.
    1
  1843.  @DarkRoomAmbience  Ukraine is not taking any major territory. Russia has well prepared lines. Its happy to sit it out and reduce the existing stock of weapons as Ukraine tries its assaults. They will make a few advances if conditions permit but largely they will sit till they feel Ukraine is depleted. Even Ukraine knows its doomed now. Zelensky has reached his limit of pushing and had to change his tone after day one. This is a fact. They still did not answer him on a timeline to join NATO. Poor fella. What can he do now but go on fighting? If he calls it off I am betting his own people will kill him. All he can do now is buckle down and prove Ukraine can win so it looks good for Biden's reelection. If not there is no point supporting a lame duck going into campaign season. 6 months left on the clock.

  1844.  @steveosborne2297  it does look like they are having issues with the HIMARS.

  1845.  @User-he6zd  there seems to be opposing views on that. The current slow progress by Russia seems to suggest that the counter strikes by Ukraine are having some effect.
    1
  1846.  @goldman6506  if that's the case then Ukraine should have done their counteroffensive they have been talking about for months now. They should have at least been able to take back some regions.

  1847.  @goldman6506  I am inclined to believe you based on the actions on the ground. So much lies from all sides its hard to get truthful unbiased information.

  1848. I did predict nothing drastic today.
    1
  1849.  @nsevv  Finland and Sweden was almost NATO anyway and that border is useless for an invasion so its not a real threat. How would missiles in Finland be any better than missiles in Lithuania? Ukraine or Belarus joining NATO would be a real issue.
    1
  1850.  @qwertyqwerty-zi6dr  yes the US completely joined. They are just using a proxy called Ukraine. Its even better than mercenaries. They don't have to pay them.
    1
  1851.  @qwertyqwerty-zi6dr  well that is a nice in depth analysis. Lets leave it there.
    1
  1852.  @wolfvale7863  no the refusal was due to US backing. That is very difficult to dispute. I am not convinced the Ukrainian people are as cohesive as the west makes it out to be. There are numerous sources that indicate a lot of them in the Donbas region prefer to be part of Russia. Lots of historical info on that too. Of course Kyiv is no interested in that at all. So its fair to say Kyiv does not want to cede land just like Serbia did not want to cede land. But alas rules change when it suits some nations.
    1
  1853. Ironic though that the US is not really sending any. They just pretend they were and then made a long timeline. Germany said two can play that game and it looks like they are now sending Leopard 1 which is a much older tank. We shall see if it makes any difference in a few months.
    1
  1854. They don't have anything. Sad for a nation 1/3 the population of Russia. The 800M aid still coming but by the time it reach they may need a donkey express to get it to the front lines.

  1860.  @dashikashi4734  sure Russia will become a paraplegic and the west will be in a wheel chair. Both bad outcomes but yes the west will be slightly better off. India and China will take over. Their problems will be a lot less.
    1
  1861. And while you are at it strike all their tanks and all their rocket launchers. If war was that simple it would not persist for any length of time.

  1862.  @dayforit1750  YT algorithm heavily censors views not pro Western. This is not a hobby for them. its a job. They need to tow the line to get paid so they will report accordingly.

  1863. Why bother. USD$6000 for something that looks fairly basic.

  1864.  @darianvergof2508  the US can spin anything and their audience will believe. Imagine up till now the Ukranian army never kill any civilians according to the news I saw and no one questioning that?

  1865. Its a damn war. Anyone can attack anyone.

  1866. Send your F16 and maybe others here will send theirs

  1867.  @Light-Eater  I would definitely agree there. Everyone is looking out for themselves. Especially China.
    1
  1868. Of course they will. Russia currently occupies it and is reportedly storing supplies there. Why would Russia bomb it if they control it right now. There is a reason no one is taking him too seriously. Seems statements have been vague about the dangers but not the party responsible.
    1
  1869.  @staypuft899  just like using hospitals and residential buildings is a bad idea. Anyway hitting it is the idiot move not storing equipment there. That's common sense.
    1
  1870. Ent that the truth.

  1871. Not sure if that is USD or Rubles.

  1872. Thanks. I had a good laugh with this one.

  1873. @ you have clearly missed the point about fair trading argument when one party has the international currency.
    1
  1874. @ so why has Trump threatened BRICS nations to not create a currency or it will be 100% tariffs? By your logic he should not be scared enough to issue that threat. Big power plays are happening. We will see the outcome before the end of Trump's term.

  1875. Candlemass - At the Gallows End

  1876. The good part is they use the same sentences and names all the time so its easy to skip over.
    1
  1877. US doesn't care. Their objective is to weaken Russia so they will keep providing weapons. Even if Russia wins it will be severely weakened and sanctions will remain.
    1
  1878. I found that odd too unless the footage is incorrect. Crux is not good at providing useful footage.
    1
  1879. Nope it does not look like it. US F16s have other places to be. Let EU give theirs to Ukraine.
    1
  1880. Taiwan is a pawn. US is only pushing the Taiwan issue for China to make a "mistake" that they can use to "legitimately" sanction China. They need to do this to stop China. In 5 years from now it will be too late. China will pass the US fully in economical terms and from there it will be a slow decline for the US dollar as a reserve currency. This is a last ditch attempt to break the cycle now. Poor EU is confused. They want to trade with China but they want to keep friends with the US. They do not want to be too dependent on either. Plus they want their own companies to survive post cheap energy from Russia. On top of all of that they want everyone to embrace their "rainbow" because of course they are culturally superior and right.

  1881. I had a sketchers many years ago and it was the most comfortable steel toe booth I ever had. The retailers stopped bringing them in to my country so I never got a second one. I am now in the market for a replacement shoe so this video is really helpful. I was considering DeWalt but unfortunately that show was not included. Think I will look into the sketchers since online purchases are now easy.

  1882. Dark has the identical comment above (well most of it).
    1
  1883. As with anything on YT its unknown if its true. Propaganda is heavy so while the authors of the video may have good intentions their sources may not. That said if its true we have to consider the reasons. What benefits do these have over the russian systems? Cheaper. Better for drones? Testing in actual combat for Iran. Russia saving their systems expecting an escalation Show of friendship and where Iran stands if (not that we didn't know but actions speak louder than words) Who really knows. There are probably a dozen more reasons that can be added to this list. The black market is probably quite vibrant these days.

  1884.  @paidwitness797  what "stupidness" you talking.
    1
  1885.  @timothywootton5331  "poor little Ukraine" has 1/3 the population of Russia and is supplied with weapons by many many countries. If it was "poor little Ukraine" alone they would have been wiped out a long time ago and that is a fact that even they admit.
    1
  1886. I guess is the Kyiv angle is to pull troops off the eastern front. If Russia starts there Ukraine will have to put enough forces to avoid a breakthrough. They will sacrifice the rest of the country for the capital.
    1
  1887.  @marcleblanc6293  I am not convinced they will suffer immediately. There may be some benefits initially but give it a few years past his term and the isolationism will deal a serious blow to the use of the US dollar.

  1888. Sometimes you just have to put up with dumb people.
    1
  1889.  @silafaupaulmeredith7251  exactly. Russia was trying to go for regime change with minimal casualties. Putin expected Zelensky to buckle and he almost did until the US stepped in. Now it has to be done the hard way.

  1890. Stop asking hard questions. Ukrainians were told not to count.

  1892.  @bekeneel  free to go where? Not back to Russia.
    1
  1893.  @Iranianboy-h4v  your comment does not relate to my original comment. These drones are not complex. Any nation can build them. And its unlikely the engine used is anything so special that requires someone to copy. Other equipment on the other hand do have complex parts that can be reverse engineered. Again I state if the decision was made to send they should not cry after.

  1894. Russia is not Canada. They won't cave and beg. US is in for a rude awakening.
    1
  1895. The EU mas made a real fool of themselves with the sanctions. No planning and amazement when Russia demanded payment in rubles. Serbia has moved smarter than the rest. Ukraine has threaten to sue Canada over the turbine. Imagine someone begging for your helps and then suing you on the other hand. The turbine benefits Germany. Imagine again helping someone who is not actively working to cut your economy. Those nations are stupid to continue supporting Ukraine. Ukraine will loose territory. The sooner they negotiate the better but they are too stupid. They want to win back every inch. If that ignorance continues Russia will keep going till there is regime change or no Ukraine.
    1
  1896.  @wolfvale7863  why do you think I am from India? I never stated that. Just quoted the Indian foreign minister. Yes India utilises a democracy now and China a communist system but these culture persisted many moons before and were prosperous. I's venture to say India is poised to improve but overall its quite poor of you consider GDP per capita. We were discussing EU so why are you bring in US? Anyway to deal with that comment the Youtube model makes money for the US. Its not a charity buddy. Using your analogy why don't you go through your house and throu out anything not made in US or EU, especially stuff made in China. Stop using any programs that utilises code written or partially written in India.

  1901.  @1ndragunawan  read my other comment on this thread. I think that explains it.
    1
  1902.  @1ndragunawan  you are watching it from a totally western standpoint so there is little chance you will see the other side. Ukraine was at one point willing to negotiate. Now it seems they want to fight. I take your point on the constitution. I didn't know that. I wonder how this will end. I'd say at this rate the tactical nukes may come out.
    1
  1903. Likely Russia will escalate to hitting dams and critical infrastructure. Ukraine will actually be worst off. Zelensky not smart enough to catch this so someone has to think for Ukraine.
    1
  1904. Guys if you go down that route Russia is well withing their rights to do the same with your leaders. That is a dumb plan. Stick with negotiation please.

  1905. If this war escalates and NATO gets fully involved those small useless countries like Latvia will pay a high price for stupidity.

  1908.  @pjhgerlach  and US was the invader in Iraq and Afghanistan. Where were all you good folks? Don't worry they US economy needs wars so they will get the feet wet somewhere once this is done. I hope Russia and China supply the other side as payback. They world has already changed significantly. We will see the fall out for the next decade or two.
    1
  1909. So NATO running short and need another supplier to keep Ukraine going. They better hope it does not reach a point where China starts supplying Russia openly.
    1
  1910.  @kibagami74  Russia will suffer for this move in a little while. Its not all peaches for them. Eastern sales cannot make up for the western ones in the short term. Russia is aware of this. I think the only things they did not expect was the seizing of some of their fund and the ban from SWIFT. Everything else was expected. Its a gamble between what they can loose over what strategic gains they can obtain. They would have considered that carefully. In fact they did a lot better job than the west did when it imposed sanctions.
    1
  1911. Well they will just end up like Priggy if they do that.

  1918.  @gr83172  I doubt. St Petersberg was likely a local agent. We will see when the reports come in.

  1919. Russia couldn't keep the city. Ukraine would have blown the dam and they would not have been able to resupply.
    1
  1920. Form the standpoint of an emergency I think a thin sheet metal backed with wood is a good test. The metal for heat resistance and the wood for structural strength. Maybe even a coat of silicone between metal and wood to give the wood a fighting chance.

  1921. Haiti's problem is piss poor attitude. If they were slightly easy to work with US firms would invest but that's not feasible. On the same rock DR is doing just fine.

  1922. A lot of this is fear of China. It's unknown what the new balance will be. Sanctions.... like that's something new or only done by China.

  1923. I am going with none of the above. Going to guess almost instantaneously. Edit: So now at the end almost instantaneously is a close but wrong answer.

  1930.  @DarkRoomAmbience  well he should have sat at the table and negotiated before. Crap leader. One of the worst.
    1
  1931. Of course they are hurting Russia. Their finance minister acknowledged that. But they are hurting the west too. In fact they are hurting the whole world. Sanctions are not effective in the short term and has not had an effect on the war at all. It just made the western leaders look like idiots to anyone who is thinking.
    1
  1932. Yeah they have been surprisingly bad during this war. More like a propaganda arm of the government.
    1
  1933. Try it. Ukraine will be wiped out before it arrives as a necessity.
    1
  1934. Wow 2 dozen. That should make a dent. The US should be ashamed anytime they hear Taliban or Afghanistan.
    1
  1935.  @speedkar99  yup a compressor is definitely interesting. I did a series of videos on stripping an old photocopier. If you ever get the chance its one of the most amazing things. A bit of everything in there. Some serious engineering.
    1
  1936. Yup NAMA and corruption. Deliberate raising of the property values by the government.
    1
  1937. Isopropyl alcohol is a nice one to try. My other suggestion is mixing in waste vegetable oil with gasoline. The objective is to determine the ratio that burns and performs reasonably well. Maybe if prices of gas skyrocket for some reason in the future this can be an option to stretch the mileage for those who may have access to waste oil.
    1
  1938. Why should North Korea listen to the US? That makes no sense. At some point more sanctions are irrelevant. US has lost its whip.

  1939. Aren't they purchasing new fighters? Seems like a bad plan to spend when your economy is not great.

  1940. Bullying as usual but no one has the balls to tell him off.

  1941.  @michaelelliott3456  sure but the UN does not want an independent investigation. It's really common sense what happened. Only one player can force all the rest to vote how they want them to.
    1
  1942. You must really hate USA then.
    1
  1943. US us not stupid enough to directly engage Russia. Even senile Biden is smarter than that (I hope). If not I guess my days of buying from Amazon is done. 😔
    1
  1944.  @bigboss337  this is about Russian law. They do not care what the rest of the world thinks. They are well aware that most of the world will not recognise the annexed areas.
    1
  1945. I doubt but by now the US has to realise the cannot get a win if China and Taiwan goes to war.
    1
  1946.  @CARBONHAWK1  Its snowing too. People out there are the hardcore. I am sure there are many others who are not pleased but will not go out in the snow to protest. Also note this is in Berlin so really only from people close by.
    1
  1947. Imagine not wanting an independent probe. Well that speaks volumes. Clearly somebody powerful have something to hide. No reason probes cannot happen in parallel. Guess we won't be concerned with other under sea infrastructure starts to mysteriously blow up.
    1
  1948. Same people that call for Turkey removal from NATO now singing praises. As I said then Turkey is not a reliable partner for anyone. They will switch sides once it suits them and they can due to their strategic location.
    1
  1949. Its a sensible position to take but that's not how it goes in the world. Any real reason to act against China will be grabbed up by US. They won't go to war over it but will supply weapons like in Ukraine. The difference will be in the quality of weapons. They trust Taiwan a hell of a lot more than Ukraine. Anyway look at Hong Kong for example. Plenty opposition out there but its a part of China. What will China do? Wait till year 50 and then start making changes? UK never gave them the same passports. I believe UK should have given anyone who wanted to leave UK citizenship.
    1
  1950. Ukraine was using also and in civilian areas. Seems they do not consider the Russian speaking Ukrainians as real Ukrainians. Well covered by Patrick Lancaster.
    1
  1951.  @jopsbuyco  exactly. Apart from the destruction wait till they have to pay back the debt. The only chance they have is seizing the 300B from Russia and I really don't think Russia will sit back idly on that one.
    1
  1952.  @barbaraaimson2100  nah the Russians have not progressed to the 20th century at all. They have been throwing rocks at the Ukrainian electrical infrastructure.
    1
  1953.  @KingOfParrots  definitely. Lets test the US nuclear defense infrastructure.
    1
  1954.  @KingOfParrots  nah they don't work. Russia never even got a nuclear weapon to work far less a rocket. You should be fine. Russia is completely hopeless that is why Germany and Poland is spending many billions on military equipment.
    1
  1955.  @nuevaesperanzadeca2094  international norms are not binding. Russia can do what it wants. The rest of the world can also do what they want and not recognise the areas as Russian.

  1956.  @joostandhisband9648  clearly you have never opened a washing machine or understand what level of chips are inside.

  1957. Germany has been neutered a long time ago. They will do as they are told after putting up a token fight. You really have to wonder how that happened when 70 years ago they were really aggressive.
    1
  1958.  @19SaD82  then they went past that into the realm of stupidity. That is where they are now.
    1
  1959.  @minimaxmiaandme.4971  here is a suggestion, pick up a dictionary and check out the meaning of beggar. Your willingness to help a beggar does not make him any less of a beggar.
    1
  1960.  @minimaxmiaandme.4971  I might learn something for sure if I pick up a book. If you pick up a hundred you might even catch up with me. I could easily bet I am well past you level in multiple fields.
    1
  1961.  @DarkRoomAmbience  no one is questioning Germany's economy. It's their leadership's balls to stick to their decisions. Throughout this war Germany said one thing and a few days later changed their minds when put under pressure. No other nation has flip flopped so many times.
    1
  1962.  @JamesBond-ko3qx  you should really look up the meaning of beggar. The use of the proceeds from begging does not come into play.
    1
  1963.  @JamesBond-ko3qx  the "lecturing" all started when one commenter started that I should read. He was grossly out of place. No I do have two legs to stand on. Its full fledged begging. But not only that. threatening, pleading and several other words apply. Finally your symbiotic relationship view might not be well received by some. They insist NATO is not involved when in fact it is fully involved.
    1
  1964. That should have been obvious but it seems many in the west cannot catch this. US is always right in their eyes.
    1
  1965.  @kerrytheclown  that's a very misleading statement since it is not properly quantified. Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe. They are at war and are not able to even support their daily needs far less military ones. They are being propped up by an alliance of most of the richer nations in the world. Further they are supplied with weapons and intelligence. All they provide is labour. In essence Ukraine is like the Wagner of NATO.
    1
  1966. Interesting theory and I am sure they did lots of research but that does not work for everyone. Stay up all night and get it done. Sleep after the exam. Works wonders for some people.
    1
  1967.  @Chuck_Hooks  inflation is bad in Turkey for sure but how you stated it makes it sound like the people there don't get that. I am sure every one from young children get it when prices go up. Opposition had to be really bad for people to bear that.
    1
  1968.  @Chuck_Hooks  I think that is unlikely. The different parties have people in each station monitoring. There would have been strong accusations.
    1
  1969.  @joyfuljoyful6598  I am not convinced they will demilitarise. I think the opposite will happen. US has an interest in feeding this war. Between the sanctions and the war they can really hurt the Russian economy. Weapons will keep flowing from the West once there are Ukrainians that are willing to die.
    1
  1970.  @johnwalsh4857  I doubt on the ammo and missiles. Drones for sure.
    1
  1971.  @mickowens9839  its good for them strategically but that city is fighting tooth an nail. Unless they get all the fighters out and repopulate its going to be hard to keep. Ukraine won't stomach that easily either. I think its a tough sell.
    1
  1972. A deal was struck to avoid confrontation. Putin cannot go back on that directly or immediately hence Prigozhin got off for the moment. If he behaves all may be good but if not he may get taken out.

  1973. He is literally fighting for his life. If he screws up his own people might kill him.
    1
  1974.  @johnliew3437  who attacked Turkey?
    1
  1975.  @johnliew3437  well maybe they should stay out of US. We go for ham instead so they safe in my neck of the woods.
    1
  1976. Common sense
    1
  1977. Its not sensible for them to invade right now. US is pushing for an escalation and I predict a full separation in a few years before China is prepared to go to war. That said China will not accept any separation. Even if Taiwan is recognised as a sovereign county China will invade when it gets all its ducks in a row. I think invasion is an eventuality.
    1
  1978.  @andrewlim7751  US does not care about Taiwan. Their interest is in pushing China so they have good reasons to sanction. China is the biggest threat to their hegemony. Of course Taiwan knows this but they need the support since they stand no chance against China alone. Same with Ukraine. They will not actively fight but they will supply weapons and possibly prevent any blockade.
    1
  1979. Leave them. They are proving how much they understand.

  1980. I just skip. His speculations add nothing and are annoying.
    1
  1981.  @johnadam2885  yeah that's my opinion too.
    1
  1982.  @rivademon1974  you have completely missed the point. Read over the comment. Maybe you will understand it.
    1
  1983.  @rivademon1974  yes you missed the point. If it comes to nukes everyone will be devastated but they are the most likely to have a piece of land to retreat to that is uncontaminated. The few that survive. The west should really stop making fun of their threats. What is needed is a line in the sand agreement. What should the west really not cross and a plan on how we deescalate if it reaches close to nuclear war. Talking crap in the news may score political points but that will mean very little if this all goes wrong.
    1
  1984. Huh? So they expect someone in the west to care enough, know Chinese, read and understand the note and then come to China and get them out? The person who did this is probably not alive if they were found out.
    1
  1985. That's the problem with Zelensky. He is bully that tries to shame people and countries. They should just ignore him when he begs for weapons.
    1
  1986.  @stekeson4182  we really don't care what they had. They do not have it now. They never had the codes. That's a good thing or this would have gone nuclear a long time now and Russia was likely not going down alone. The backers would have tasted some blood too. Think where the world would have been.
    1
  1987.  @suzanned5859  you do realise that the world is rearming? That really doesn't lead to peace.
    1
  1988.  @suzanned5859  if the united group you are talking about is NATO the only "larger country" that has any potential for this type of action is China. Lets hope they don't act up anytime soon.
    1
  1989.  @jacksplatt7567  of course but the show of weapons is not comparable. That's the point I am making.
    1
  1990.  @vme1111  I think you misunderstand this game.
    1
  1991.  @curiosity2314  of course. Russia has no capability to produce anything. Putin went in without figuring out that there will be sanctions and now he is lost. Smh.
    1
  1992.  @mohamedrazeen3685  my understanding is that's not how it works. Some areas of know vulnerabilities are better protected. The longer range allows the aggressor to bypass these defenses.
    1
  1993. Germany and France is the EU.
    1
  1994. Once countries don't get stupid like Philippines. They were really screwed over under American rule but they seem to forget that and are now back in bed with the Americans. Forgive but remember who has done you wrong in the past. They are likely the ones to do you wrong in the future also.
    1
  1995. A few times I tried to put out proper calculations like you did here the viewership was minimal. Glad you can get this out to so many. It really does help when clear thinking prevails. I will continue my efforts though since my videos form a good reference for me to look back on as a refresher.
    1
  1996.  @jdursoesq  common sense but it seems to be in short supply these days. Lets see how Russia responds the next time they do it.
    1
  1997. Discrepancies in the spelling.

  1998. The algorithm will have to change. Really wont matter to my few video views. Beyond that I live where content cannot be monetized. Maybe that's something for them to consider. No money = no incentive... maybe.

  1999. If everyone is on the edge of dying then how does the country survive? This sounds like a recipe for an uprising.

  2001. Some things are best left alone. This is one of them.

  2002.  @cdefgah4343  because I do not need uncle sam monitoring me. Prefer not be tagged. Not into drugs or whistleblowing so so far no one has given me a good reason to go into the dark web. That's just me. Surely it works well for others or it would not exist.
    1
  2003.  @cdefgah4343  maybe I am just paranoid but I am not convinced its really fully anonymous. Downloading a Tor browser that is still supported by the US army seems iffy. Are we really sure that the Tor browser does not raise a flag when its downloaded? Seems like a good place to start monitoring. People who download Tor stand a much higher chance of being persons of interest. Again maybe its just paranoia.

  2004.  @marmot418  actually it seems the Russians learnt the strategy works if you throw enough manpower at it. Seems like that is the plan again.
    1
  2005.  @marmot418  I think it was seen inside Russia too. People like something palatable even if they know its a lie and politicians the world over are masters at that. Even a blatant lie works for a percentage of the population. Trump for example did a lot of that and he still got and has support. Just how some human minds work.

  2006.  @LORDNAG1  I'd venture to say European colonialist have a bit more blame than USA. Many issues they have created will continue for centuries. In the modern setting its hard for anyone to show another country that got into other people's affairs more often.

  2007. Unless its not really her phone. Of course that still leaves finger prints but that is not so useful if she is not on a database.

  2008. @fontonsodikou7053 was it not "technically captured?" At least that is what was said on Crux video earlier. While Prigozhin is definitely not a nice character he is probably the one who has been the most straight in this conflict so far. Ukraine and Russia lie a lot more than him.

  2009. More talk and little change then? It would be a real disaster if North Korea is pushed too much and trips off detonating a nuclear weapon in South Korea. One wonders how much pressure can be placed before the reaction is catastrophic.

  2010. Maybe but a big US base on their soil is surely a bullseye if it ever gets to that.

  2011.  13ased_American  its fine to support either side or be neutral. What is not is the lies and hypocrisy, whichever side it comes from. Its an attempt to manipulate.

  2012. The western leaders are disappointingly dumb (for lack of a better word when typing). At least they are starting to figure out that some of their sanctions hurt them a lot too.
    1
  2013. Such propaganda. Imagine Kremlin insiders talking to western media. Stick to reporting facts.
    1
  2014. There are three things required to fight a war. Intelligence information Equipment Manpower Ukraine is only providing one on its side so its not Ukraine alone Russia is fighting. Disingenuous to say that when its obviously incorrect.

  2015.  @issadraco532  so why did the EU let them in? Surely they wanted Hungary as much as Hungary wanted them.
    1
  2016.  @JelMain  I don't know your background or the details of how this was brokered so I cannot dispute. Of course I cannot take the word of someone on the net as gospel either. I would think the reason they were let in is because of their lack of development. Cheap labour meets sophisticated market and all right next door. its a match made in heaven.... mostly.
    1
  2017.  @JelMain  well why don't you put up a channel and shore some of the history. What is not confidential of course. Proper presentation with like and references. Leave something behind on the net so others who are interested can learn.
    1
  2018.  @JelMain  good chatting. Best of luck with your work.
    1
  2019.  @sqnhunter  really doesn't matter. The answer I gave is relevant to the question asked in the original post. Try putting in a clause on "tactical sabotage" in an international organisation and see how many agree to that and join. That's just the world of geopolitics.
    1
  2020.  @sqnhunter  you really think you are smart? Maybe you should study some international law before talking. Military background is not relevant.
    1
  2021.  @sqnhunter  lets assume you are not lying about your qualifications then its sad that you do not realise that the treaties that govern the setting up of "multinational organizations" (as per the original comment we are discussing) is set by international law. Sad when institutions give people degrees that have no common sense. Anyway if you have not caught it yet its pointless trying to explain it to you. Stick with thinking you are smart.

  2022. If the storm shadow and scalp are great why do they need the Taurus? What targets are that far back?

  2023.  @RomanGolubev_A  they do not need a 500km range missile to hit that.

  2024. Zelensky was a bully from the early days and continues to be a really annoying arrogant pr. Very ungrateful too. He thinks he is doing Europe a favour and they owe him. When they supported that idiot what did they expect?
    1
  2025. India is neutral in this. I guess western thinking cannot catch that.
    1
  2026. Ukraine begging for help like little babies. Then turn around and sue a country that is trying to help because they disagree with one decision. If Canadians were smart they would not send a single weapon again. Just send humanitarian assistance. I doubt they are smart though.
    1
  2027. That would be very bad for Ukraine. Imagine they can go and cut their own deals with local suppliers, Iran, China and N Korea. Of course the bill to Russia would be a lot higher too.

  2028. Or maybe stay home and mind their own business? But then again its Americans. They can't understand that.

  2029.  @BOIOLA08  unfortunately Europe has too many of them. Its amazing that EU functions at all.

  2030. It would be quite embarrassing if you open up 9/11. Only gullible people believe buildings that height built to withstand a crash would fall on its footprint due to being struck on one side with a plane. People just stayed quiet because its of US aggression if they opened their mouths. Revisit now and many may not keep quiet.

  2031. Simply global stupidity.
    1
  2032. Zelensky is an idiot. He is getting his country destroyed due to pure ignorance and inability to negotiate. He cries like a baby every day begging but on the other side Ukraine is winning and destroying everything Russian. I am amused people have any respect. EU politicians are milking this. Even the ones who do not agree cannot stand up or they will get crucified in the public forum. They just playing the game for now. Heck even Boris is surviving when his future was unclear. When this finishes they will all be friends again but Ukraine will still be destroyed.

  2036. Now foreigners are claiming to know what is happening to individual troops. This whole story seems to hinge on speculation or a few stories.
    1
  2037.  @robertolsen348  and we know Liz is a genius. Sad state of leaders in UK recently. Anyway I seriously doubt they will nuke anywhere populated. Small tactical nuke on some infrastructure will do to tell everyone they are serious.
    1
  2038.  @robertolsen348  unlikely they will use a nuke. If they do use a tactical nuke the response will be widespread condemnation and possibly some more alienation but not much else. No one in the west has balls to play the MAG game.
    1
  2039. Feel sorry for the conscripts on either side. They have no choice. Fee sorry for the people in Ukraine. Feel sorry for the men that wanted to leave Ukraine with their families but were prevented. But why feel sorry for people who made an active and deliberate decision to enter a war?

  2040. I beg to differ. People are stupid.

  2041. This is one of your better videos. Touched on topics people shy away from.
    1
  2042.  @francoisleveille409  I see you are from Canada so I guess its to be expected you watch news like NBC. You should really get out some more and watch the other side too. You will realise you are being lied too. Its all BS. The West is just as bad as the east. Everyone has interest in this war. None are noble on the "side of justice". I watch all sides and form my own opinions. Well almost all sides. I will not watch mainstream US TV. The BS is too simple and obvious to the point of being really annoying.
    1
  2043. More useful to Russia alive so they stop bombing. More useful to Zelensky dead so no surrender. Hmmmm
    1
  2044. I hope the west understands its walking a fine line. Push China and Russia too much and there is a risk of those ties getting better. That can come back to bite them.

  2045. Really what has been shown is nothing impressive. In any third world country that level of innovation is normal.

  2046. If Nato is putting its credibility on the line they are in trouble.
    1
  2047. While I am betting it was not your intention you have made a very detailed strong case for the moon landing being necessary from the US standpoint even if the technology was not fully there. 50 years later this is the only technology developed by one superpower and not the other, by one developed nation and not others. It is also the one technology that a nation supposedly perfected but cannot replicate 50 years later when manufacturing is light years ahead and computing is phenomenally more powerful.

  2048. Good report but highlighting some more of the areas when they were named would have helped a little more. I was lost at times.

  2049. Wait we need a moon base? Hmm. You would think we would have one by now but suspiciously we don't. If we could collaborate to get the ISS sorted how come we do not have a moon base?

  2050.  @paulinemclean375  no one is bailing them out. Its not a cluster F like Ukraine.
    1
  2051.  @paulinemclean375  India and China are just looking after their own interest. That is not bailing out. China should really be providing Russia with unlimited arms as NATO and others are doing for Ukraine. US and some of NATO is openly hostile to China. Why should they not support someone fighting their "enemy?" So really China is doing very little and that may be because it does not need to. Russia is surviving against all NATO donations and boots on the ground in "advisory" positions.
    1
  2052.  @paulinemclean375  I agree with you on much of what you said. I am not convinced China will be needed to bail out Russia but I am also not convinced it is doing great. The west isn't doing great either but its not the same. I disagree with you position on aggression towards China. US especially is openly hostile and trying to provoke a reaction from China with respect to Taiwan. That will justify limited sanctions that will help to keep China down but still leave enough room for the west to use them where they need them. This is really clear and all players know the game. China has to diversify away. Russia is their only solid partner because Russia has no where else to turn. The world is changing though and we will see how this all pans out.
    1
  2053.  @mssuskar  Zelensky will not negotiate. It ends the biggest acting sting he has ever had. He like the world stage. US is pushing to the point where they can get away with it. once it reaches to nukes in their minds the assistance to Ukraine will stop. They will never risk nuclear war over a useless country (to them) like Ukraine. Its just a pawn, not a queen.
    1
  2054.  @davidcurry4433  I get that but how much of that 50M is missiles. They need a bit to keep up.
    1
  2055.  @davidcurry4433  it's Zelensky's attitude that annoys me. Even though he is begging if he does not get what he wants he tries to shame and intimidate people.
    1
  2056.  @arthurrebello919  Russia will be fine after the war. Economy will shrink due to sanctions but they will develop allies elsewhere. If the west pushes too hard against China there is a chance their alliance with Russia will increase. Africa is a fertile ground for Russia and China. Growing market that the west is not well placed to capitalise on. The chess board was set a long time now before this play began. Calculated sacrifices. Time will tell how well it goes for both sides.

  2060. Wow 16 people alone is terrible.

  2063. I am just anxious to see if the F16 can match up against the S300 and S400. Seems the Patriots are over hyped. They did not do so well on the last run but who knows how it will pan out in the long term.
    1
  2064.  @peterbaker3429  that would be very bad for everyone. They will use nukes in that case. The West will not exist and they wont either.

  2065. That is the business of the people in the respective countries. Look at the EU. Much larger economies and they decided to work together.

  2069. That is deliberate. It's making a case for the targeting of Ukrainian culture. Don't be surprised if its not a false flag operation. They are being advised by the US.
    1
  2070. But Iraq was not financed and armed by a coalition. Bet the outcome would have been different if billions of dollars worth or weapons were given to Iraq. Bet it would have been different if all of the western countries sanctioned US. Poor comparison. Anyway I hope Russia and China openly gives weapons to the next place US invades. Let them feel some pain.
    1
  2071.  @nsevv  no they are just calling out the US. Accusations requires proof. Cannot charge, and in this case convict, someone without telling them their crimes.

  2072. Zelensky doesn't need much more. The end is starring him in the face. If the US continues its current course of action this war is over in a few months.
    1
  2073. Very good summary of the topic.
    1
  2074. That's a lot of billions to be throwing and not decisively winning. Sooner or later they may have to cut their losses and put the billions into their own economies.
    1
  2075. I always wondered why Russia is going this slow. I think its a balance to keep the economy going. Seems like its a slow dance to keep as many allies as it can too. That seems to be working well. There are definitely some pros.

  2077. Many of the leaders and spokespersons in the west come across as fairly dunce. Blinken is definitely one of them.
    1
  2078.  @jurgnobs1308  and I have no issue with them sending weapons to Ukraine. The challenge is Russia cannot loose this fight so they will keep escalating. Lets hope it does not reach to tactical nukes or worst.
    1
  2079. Just recently I had an issue with my horn. The plastic deteriorated and the horn remained on continuously. Even though I physically disconnected the horn the switch went through a relay (which I did not know about at the time) and so in a few days the car battery was discharged. To complicate the issue the previous owner had opened the steering and used a thread lock on the bolt. Even after drilling out the bolt head i was unable to get it out. Thought about using heat but the airbag was mounted on the same frame. Eventually good sense prevailed (or I probably would not have been writing this comment). It was an interesting and challenging dodgy fix. Link below if anyone is interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ppEtnAIbk8

  2084.  @quatjohn4375  Ukraine stands no chance. So far Putin has not escalated to using tactical nukes. Its better for him to wait lest he looses the "neutrality" of China and India. He is just balancing the pressure needed to get the idiot to capitulate.
    1
  2085.  @quatjohn4375  Putin's actions are not guided by NATO anymore. I doubt he cares what NATO thinks. They are now irrelevant. They did as much as they can do and it did not work. Their only option is to go in which ends in WWIII. I think they acted stupid each trying to outdo the other. Wrong play. But then again watch the actual leaders and how their own internal political situation improved from over sanctioning. I think the reason he has not used a tactical nuke yet is because he does not want to alienate India and China. They are Russia's future now.
    1
  2086.  @quatjohn4375  I respectfully disagree. NATO would be stupid to engage but yes Putin has to keep an eye on the skies and he probably has a finger on the red button. I believe NATO is smart enough to know not to push too much more. Lets really hope there are no glitches in the equipment on any side. No one is in a trusting mood right now.
    1
  2087. Its impossible to stop such low tech from reaching Russia. Sanctions cannot work. That's a bit obvious but EU is still surging ahead.
    1
  2088. No one will keep to that. Probably best to come in from Crimea under a Turkish ship. Russia will probably allow that and I am sure Turkey will help. After that escorted by Russians.
    1
  2089. The number of cars was a lot less and it was unlikely he could have predicted the growth. The effects of small amounts of lead was not know to be so dangerous so he probably thought workers at the factory and people like him were at great risk but the general public was not.
    1
  2090. I think its a bit more complicated on the housing. I think the government actually deliberately push those prices up. Transferred the bad debt to an independent entity after the housing crash of 2008. Sold it cheap to friends and then push the market up. Billions were transferred from the public purse to individuals.

  2091. Sadly Americans version of right is when they do it but not when others do it. That country is in for a rude awakening sometime in the future when they are not holding so many cards.
    1
  2092.  @wilberwhateley7569  if it can be done quietly I would say yes. This is a great opportunity for China to see the capabilities and strategies that may be used against it if it attacks Taiwan. Also its a great opportunity to get western weapons on the black market. I am sure some of those shipment are being sold for profit.

  2093.  You are fake  I agree the Russian economy could be so much more. They have issues that really need to deal with.
    1
  2094.    they are definitely bullies in their own rights. China is on the rise with this. They are however heavily outclasses by the US. It is difficult to just list the US interference on other people's affairs. The world need to push back on all bullies, not just some.
    1
  2095. 🙄
    1
  2096.  @wolfvale7863  Zelensky didn't deny it because he knows its true. His angle is no one can judge Ukraine because they were invaded. Its not a sensible argument when they are claiming residential areas and hospitals are being hit..
    1
  2097.  @wolfvale7863  fair enough. War is dirty business. I am sure both sides have done questionable things. I find Zelensky's antagonistic rhetoric on it unproductive. He should have ignored the report. Not every car that passes he needs to bark at.
    1
  2098. I disagree. Low skilled work has the lowest risk. Its low paying work that requires a complex mechanical machine to be physically built to replace them. High paid professionals on the other hand do not require mechanical machinery to replace them. All that is needed is advanced software and all it needs to run on is computers which we have in the billions.

  2115.  @kevinmeganck1302  at best it looks like they are protecting Kyiv but few other areas. A few systems can help there for sure. They stand very little chance of protecting other parts of the country. Its just too large.
    1
  2116.  @kevinmeganck1302  so you are saying Ukraine will get the skynex systems? I know nations are sending systems but it all seems like a small number in the grander scheme.
    1
  2117.  @kevinmeganck1302  should get more interesting if Ukraine gets F16. We will see if the S400 is really as capable as touted. Going to be tough for them to maintain airports and they cannot take off from another country. Realistically it looks like the western support for Ukraine is drying up. US elections is another problem for them. Unless they make some gains I feel weapons will continue to trickle but not enough for them to win. We will see soon enough. Winter is coming again and I expect the Russians to start back targeting the electrical grid.

  2121.  @qefewfwdcwdc  recently created account with no content and you talk about a small brain. Go get checked dude. And there is a lot more history to this than Just Philippines begging for help. Duerte had a different view. So who is right? Sand what you are using as a basis for your argument.
    1
  2122.  @qefewfwdcwdc  most of the recent accounts are fake ones just to comment on the war. Well you think Duerte is wrong but many others think he was right. Its the same as Trump and Biden. Who is wrong and who is right? Its all opinion.

  2123. Why? If people are dumb enough to believer protesting in front of an embassy will change anything then let them waste their time.
    1
  2124. 22 years. More than any western leader by a good distance. Look at the idiot named Boris. Tried really hard to capitalise on this war but in the end everyone resigned on him and he had to go. Western leaders have a very short lifespan in most cases.
    1
  2125. Another example of stupidity. The reaction around the world is just sad.
    1
  2126.  @scratchy996  brilliant. Then they will just fire the 1599 warheads they have left. Then we call all live in the same paradise Russia will be in. This is why Iran should never give up its nuclear programme. Bad ideas like this just make it worst for everyone else.
    1
  2127.  @scratchy996  you are following way too much western propaganda. I suggest you watch some more balanced reporting to understand a bit more.

  2128.  @RandomGuy9  and if that happens then then its worth training and its a real force but so far that has not happened. Its really unlikely that will happen.
    1
  2129. Looks like US and Russia wants to carve up the spoils so there is an incentive to get as much as possible before Ukraine signs a deal with US. Russia will not see anything Zelensky signs as legal but its still not worth open battle with the US. That said, I do not think Russia will rush too much to stretch themselves. That would be counter productive.

  2139.  @timonsolus  at least you are being straight about this. Most western supporters claim the west is not a party. Heck even the western countries are lying and saying they are not party to this war. It is a proxy war. A bit undecided at the moment I would say. I think the Ukraine offensive will be a turning point one way or another.

  2143. karlos777x I agree. iPhone is just about status and people who want some thing that works without too many options. The latter group tends to be ones with disposable income so its not a problem for them to shell out the extra. Personally I will not buy an apple product. Noted though that I had an iPhone for 1 year that was assigned to me on a project. Not my money. Not my call. Anyway Apple is a closed system where things are propriety. I strongly disagree with that.
    1
  2144. No its about provoking a response from China that allows the justification of sanctions. The Chinese economy is growing too large is is threatening the current world order. That just won't do so limits are required. It does not matter to the US if Taiwan gets destroyed like Ukraine. Once US interest are protected.

  2161.  @georgegreen4819  I agree this war has shown Russia's military flaws. That works both ways. NATO now knows a lot more but so does Russia. Will Russia remedy the problems meaningfully going forward? Who knows. I agree too Russia is bleeding resources on this. Much smaller economy than the US so they are going to hurt more. Losing the EU market is a good thing in the long term. Russia was getting soft. Now they cannot rely on the west and will start to make structural changes. If they are smart they will diversify their economy and move away from hydrocarbons. Its a dead product in a decade or two anyway. With respect to NATO expansion the only states that matter are Ukraine and Belarus. Norway and Sweden are irrelevant. Looks bad on paper but really can NATO mount an invasion from Finland with that lovely terrain? Exactly they are not relevant. The Baltic states are much more useful to NATO. Now that can be a staging ground. Of course Poland is more than happy to get into the action too. That should be Russia's concern.

  2171. The sanctions are there for EU to pretend they did something useful. It was pointless. Smarter people would have gathered a team and get the parties together to hammer out a lasting solution. Then place UN troops to maintain the deal. It would have led to a lot less deaths and would have been a lot cheaper. The current approach just shows how dumb EU leadership is.
    1
  2172.  @lostlogic6911  actually I think its easy to negotiate with Putin. He has been in power for 20 years and has been able to work with EU for that time. He has his reasons for the war. While you may not agree with them he is far from a madman.

Maybe they eventually win or maybe Russia roots the out through less than ideal methods. We will see. In the global scheme however the situation in Ukraine is irrelevant unless the war is still on. Its where the world power will settle after this conflict that has my interest.
    1
  2197.  @chaosXP3RT  definitely not disagreeing with you on the gas. That said there are a lot of ethnic Russians in the area. This is a game many of the leading powers play all the time. It may not be nice but its reality. I have not fallen for Russian propaganda at all. You may have fallen for the western propaganda or missed the bigger picture. In the grander scheme Ukraine is irrelevant. Heck before this war most couldn't find it on a map. This is the first serious push from the east against the US. EU is just a lap dog for the US now. A very reduced power from former times. They are really not powerful enough by themselves to do anything. In fact without US support EU would not have been able to supply Ukraine to keep it from collapsing months ago. The question them becomes does China make the second salvo or does it keep its head down for a few more years. I think the latter. Then there is India. They continue playing the neutral game and keep from being under US thumb then that changes the dynamic as they grow. There is a much bigger game afoot so as I said Ukraine is irrelevant.

  2203.  @unitedwestand56  I wold say yes Putin would have gone in. The cost up till now is still less than the benefit to Russia hence the war continues. You should ask if Putin should have taken such a soft stance in the beginning or just start like the US taking out all infrastructure before going in. I would say in hindsight he is probably regretting that.
    1
  2204.  @unitedwestand56  lets agree to disagree. I see this as a turning point for Russia and to a much lesser extent the world. The reliance on the west is now gone. Russia's economy was dead in 20 years anyway as hydrocarbons are phased out and prices drop. This is the kick in the behind that will get them on a path to change (whether they like it or not). Ukraine is a good example to the rest of exsoviet states. Russia will threaten a lot but eventually they will come in if they feel they have to. Ukraine got a lot of support largely due to US, UK and Poland. There are simple reasons. US benefits tremendously with a lot less input than would normally e needed. Uk is an absolute mess and needs to keep looking outside to hide from the internal problems. Poland is rightfully worried. They are in the neighbourhood. What does Kazakhstan, for example, have that would compel this much support. The world is changing as it always does, as it must. I think its the play that Russia had to take regardless.
    1
  2205.  @unitedwestand56  why are you assuming they are going back to the Soviet era (though it seems many of the older people actually miss)? IMF has their economy on a growth projection. Heck its supposed to perform better than the UK economy in terms of outlook.

    1
  2242.  @unhippy1  no political promises mean anything, especially years after. Regimes change and objectives shift. A nuclear Ukraine would have been a disaster for them. They would probably be isolated and forced to give up the nuclear weapons anyway. The Stans are on the wrong side to matter much (at least at this time). I think Finland and Sweden will go to NATO and Russia will probably accept that. Russia has no viable claims there. That will start WWIII if Russia attacks them.
    1
  2243.  @unhippy1  while I don't agree with them I can understand the reaction. Lets say Russia decides to set up a base in Cuba again what do you think USA will do. Maybe they will want to start WW3 over that too.

  2244.  @unhippy1  exactly any nation would react badly if they feel that threatened. Imagine a vote is taken to admit Ukraine into NATO and it succeeds what does Russia do then? This is a messed up situation. Not defending Russia here but Ukraine is not without blame. They kept pushing their luck poking the bear. Sooner or later it will react and badly too.

  2245.  @unhippy1  agreed. The problem is how to de-escalate. Russia wont back down. The west can't pull away or they will be crucified by the public. What is the middle ground? Honestly Putin's demands are the most realistic. Leave the separated regions and Crimea. Ukraine stays neutral. But now that the war is started I am not sure Putin will stop till he removes all traces of pro western entities.

  2246.  @unhippy1  I think there is definitely a chance of the nuclear warning you mentioned. Just today I was debating the splitting of the world. I agree with you. This will cause a new iron curtain but this time its not as simple. China will be on both sides. Manufacturing and trading with the west but also keeping good relations with Russia. They need to. Never know when another huawei incident will occur. China wont close doors so they have other avenues to trade when blocked by the west.

  2248. Saudis are playing a good game. US needs them for power projection. Weapon sales are a good income. Basically the US may be pissed but will not abandon them. On the other hand Russia and China seem to have a direct link to Iran so if tensions raise they stand a good chance of diffusing. The US is useless for that. China is a big oil importer without any "moral" restrictions. Simple business without emotion getting in. Great for Saudi.

  2249. I think this is dumbest set of leaders yet. Back Putin in a corner with no options. If he decides to use nuclear weapons I a sure all of them will claim innocence yet they started an economic war that will cripple Russia.

  2279.  @mastermariner490  I hear what you are saying but the first important thing to assess is what Russia uses.

    1
  2280.  @mastermariner490  this is where I am not convinced. Much of what you called out can work perfectly fine on chips readily available. 4th gen night vision is probably an issue without the CMOS. I really cannot see how a GPS guidance is difficult and why it would need bleeding edge chips. Thermal is possibly an issue too since I expect the good stuff is proprietary but then again who would sell their good chips to Russia Laser rangefinders too should need anything too special. I have some free time this weekend. I will investigate more.

  2281. Coming from a country close to Venezuela we are seeing lots and lots of migration here. Can't blame them. They need to eat and live too. BTW the Venezuelans I have seen are mostly very light skinned so the animations with darker skins is a bit off. Not a big deal to the story you were telling but I just thought I would point it out.
    1
  2282.  @TheFi0r3  thanks for the info. For some reason I never took the time to understand the makeup of Venezuela in any detail. Last time I was there was in 2004. Actually in San Cristóbal, Táchira but of course passing through Caracas but just the airport. The internet is not the safest place to give out ones location but I would say the officials are estimating there are 40,000 Venezuelans locally. The are working lots of lower end jobs. Sad to say a friend pointed out one of the Venezuelan guys at her job is a lawyer but he is packing boxes here for a living.

  2283.  @Mr1957214  if they strongly believe join the war. Do not enter Russia so there is no threat to Russia proper and so no need for Putin to resort to nuclear. If they do not strongly believe then they need to stop pretending.

  2291.  @bakuskhan3070  yup that is what I gathered too. Either way Russia's run on Kiev was meant to scare and get them to agree on the Donbas region so it was an easy decision to pull out. Now they need to really hurt Ukraine to get back to the prior negotiating position. I feel sorry for the average Ukrainian but they picked and continue to support an idiot president.
    1
  2292. Seems like Ukraine or more so Zelensky is the one pushing for the offensive. He is using that to get weapons. Of course those giving him the weapons want to see the offensive he said he was going to use them for. Sitting still means Ukraine has accepted the status quo and that is political death for Zelensky so that cannot happen. Sitting still does not hurt Russia so they are fine with this. That creates a problem for Zelensky so now they are going for Moscow to throw the Russians off their comfort zone. Not a bad plan but Russia is know to retaliate hard so they better be careful.

  2318.  @tr7chicken70  yeah I am not saying China is a saint. Far from it. But where do you get investment without compromise? IMF? They will gut you. The challenge with dealing with USA is their support comes with lots of compromises and they can pack up and go home anytime. Philippines has to live next to China forever. It needs to find a way to work with them. They are the big players in the neighbourhood. Personally I would say deal with both but stay neutral and a military base is not neutral.
    1
  2319.  @tr7chicken70  I agree with you on China and first strike. They will not. They are not where they want to be so they cannot risk sanctions. My take is China will not make a strong move or start a war for a decade maybe. After that they might if it suits them. I get that you cannot afford advanced weapons but realistically there is no need for them now. This will not go to an all out war like in Ukraine. Anyway the die is cast or so it seems. I wish Philippines all the best. I really hope they do not become a pawn.
    1
  2320.  @tr7chicken70  I can see your side. That said US has the biggest history of funding terrorist and insurgent groups. They have been doing it for years. If they do not like your next government and it suits their interest they will fund a revolution / overthrow. Anyway I hope the elephants stop trampling and China eases up on its aggressive stance but alas that is unlikely.

The sensible thing was and still is diplomacy but that makes no money so its not the agenda today. Once the fear level is right Zelensky will be told to go back to the table and negotiate. Wait for it. You will see.

Air base attacked so air cover limited. Its a sensible approach. Time will tell if Russia can hold them off.
    1
  2333.  @ares8866  lets say the river crossings is not a big issue as you are saying then Ukraine has to attack or dig in. Russia has sent troops the the region. With all that manpower sitting around they may just make a go for Odesa if Ukraine resistance is not there.

  2334.  @ares8866  my understanding is most of the terrain is flat. I have not studied in in any detail so I really do not know how easy any area is to take.

  2343.  bruce parka  replying to your two comments. I think Zelensky is an idiot and he comes across very untrustworthy. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course. The west is not slightly united on anything. EU is a mess. Germany and France are doing the token minimum. Hungary and Serbia don't seem to be reading from the same book. Turkey is way out there (included because they are NATO. Hard for anyone not to say Russia was wrong to invade. That's life though. The bigger players get to do what they want. The lack of reporting of casualties on Ukraine side is really interesting. Seems very biased yet western people seem fine with it. Speaks poorly of them in my opinion. Again just my opinion. Everyone is entitled to theirs.
    1
  2344.  @zacksulics8021  you are too blind to be convinced. No point there. One statement does not make a man. Zelensky is an idiot comedian and actor. Putin made his way up the ranks in the KGB. That's not comparable. Since you are so confident lets take a wager. Russia retains a significant portion of Ukraine (which the have already) or on Zelensky side not an inch is given up. All will be recaptured.
    1
  2345. ​ @zacksulics8021  you don't get it. Yes Putin was hand chosen but he took a failure from Yeltsin and made a lot more. Practically speaking FInland and Sweden are almost NATO. If Russia had attacked Finland the response would not have been what Ukraine got. NATO countries would have stepped in for sure. Finland and Sweden also have very little relevance in terms of threat. The border is not an accessible plain. Quite easy to defend. Russia's situation is bad going forward but all Putin really did is move the timeline up by 10 or 15 years. Russia has to diversify away from fossil fuels or it has no future. I agree though that Russia is now a lot more in China's clutches. We shall see how that one plays out. Actually Putin has a really high approval rating and its not faked. I would recommend a view of this by William Spaniel. BTW I see you don't want to take the bet that Russia will retain a large portion of Ukraine.

Instead of pulling out from Kiev what if he ordered all fired to date and what will be fired in the next few months to all target Kiev government buildings. According to Ukraine that's over 3000. Imagine them getting hit with that in a week all on Kiev. What do you think the outcome would be? Why pull back when they could have practically leveled Kiev? That's restraint. There are dozens more examples. Russia should destroy all utilities in the entire northern part of the country. That would cripple the government and seriously hamper their ability to fight back. Again restraint. What about tactical nukes? Same excuse US used when the dropped on Japan is applicable.

  2477.  @checker3694  and China is well aware of the shift. 5 years is a bit ambitious. More like 10+. By that time China's economy will be big enough to take up a lot of the slack. They are also developing Africa and that will become a new market for them. Sure China will suffer a bit but the west is doomed. Europe and later the US grew on the backs of the third world. Without cheap manufacturing they will be paying $25 for an item that is currently $5. So their solution is to look for the next set of third world countries to ride. Vietnam comes to mind.

If I get some time later I will put up a video on it for the sake of information. I think the media is lying bold faced on this issue.

Now that the pipelines cannot support Germany this winter they have no option to negotiate with Russia. That's the most persuasive reason for the US to risk the action.

  2577.  @mombaassa  interesting that Germany has enough gas to cover all their needs. I have not seen any pro western channels cover this. So much lying on the net too its hard to say what is real unless both sides acknowledge something. The landlocked nations you called are not relevant. If they join NATO it make little difference. Russia will postulate but in reality they don't care. Even Finland and Sweden are unimportant. They were already almost NATO and would have gotten a much more protection. Also they are not a viable part to a Russian invasion. Bad terrain and no serious road network that cannot be defended. Ukraine on the other has is a whole different matter. If Ukraine goes to NATO Russia is "compromised", at least from their point of view.

Men are a a little more tricky but I doubt the leadership really cares that much. Its chess. You must loose some pieces. Seems Ukraine has been lying about Russian casualties so their numbers are likely inflated. What really matters is the economy after this. Those 144M people that survive this. Ukraine is way worst off. They are likely loosing as much as Russia in men. Accruing a debt and will inherit less land and possibly flattened land if they drive Russia back.

Nothing so great with any of our current systems but no one has a better answer so we continue on. Lets ask though if an election is called tomorrow would Putin win? I would guess yes. If one is called in US would Biden win. That's debatable. Lets not even go to the UK or Italy, We all know how messed up them are at the moment.

Or maybe you are buying the western narrative that Russia is stuck and cant even fight Ukraine yet not a single one of the loudmouths will step in and finish Russia off.
    1
  2723.  @sands7779  Mariupol is required. Can't have a war and do nothing. Some action is needed to force the Ukrainian position at the table. Kyiv has been largely spared so far. If Ukraine keeps it up he may have to start dismantling that city.
    1
  2724.  @damirglavas7940  have a look at the channel I suggested. He is a qualified analyst.
    1
  2725. Agreed. Further when it happens many nations will remember the things US did to them over the years. They will find out quickly that they have a lot less friends than they think.
    1
  2726. That is why Russia should target homeland USA if anything flies from there. That's the only way to provide a good deterrence. The minions can be dealt with on the second wave.
    1
  2727.  @spxram4793  and you fail to mention Russia only acted after US placed nukes in Turkey. Cuba was a reaction.

  2730. @beacon Of hope chimpanzees are actually quite intelligent. There are memory task they can do with ease that humans cannot.

  2731. Over 100 top army personnel and over 50 supply depots but it does not seem to be making any significant difference. Who knows how much resources the Russians really have.
    1
  2732.  @montycasper4300  maybe you are right but so far there is no independent verification that any of this has happened so right now its propaganda. Both sides are lying through the teeth about almost everything. International agencies are largely staffed and funded by the same Nato nations. Its like the chips from washing machines for missiles. Amazing the number of people that believed that. The problem is gullibility and a complete lack of technical understanding. Clearly they have never opened a modern washing machine and do not understand microchips.
    1
  2733.  @technoartfest8708  I have not found any channels that are impartial. Do you know of any? My yardstick has been who is gaining territory.
    1
  2734. ​ @technoartfest8708  thanks. I don't have twitter but I will definitely check out the website you mentioned. I have looked at Patrick Lancaster and while he is more realistic he is carried around by the Russian many times. Österreichs Bundesheer seems ok too whenever he makes a video.
    1
  2735. And Zelensky complains it terrorism. If they are shooting them down what does it matter. The Ukrainian lies are exceeding the Russian ones these days and that says a lot. Surprised Ukraine didn't kill 1000 soldiers for new years. The numbers they quote are mad.
    1
  2736. True fighting is worth a shot but if Ukraine is really loosing 1000 troops a day at some point they have to realise the fight is hopeless.
    1
  2737.  @Muzakman37  I agree the support is good for Ukraine but why would all three go together? Each gets more publicity alone. I still think its to get Zelensky to understand that he has to give up some land to close out this war. As you said actions and releases will reveal a bit in time. Lest see if there is a drift in attitude from Zelensky in a week or two.
    1
  2738.  @Muzakman37  Boris is definitely pushing this to keep his political career alive. I agree that a lot of it is optics for Russia's benefit but everyone else's too. A lot of politics is a show.

  2741.  @MrSonofsonof  and there will be an economic impact. We will see how significant it will be.
    1
  2742.  @MrSonofsonof  I really doubt that. Russia will not easily pick a fight with NATO. Ukraine and Transnistria is likely they limit.
    1
  2743.  @MrSonofsonof  Russia is not strong enough to take on NATO. They cannot attack a NATO country unless really forced. Its a simple as that.
    1
  2744. That is so true. Paranoia is probably raising its ugly head too. He is purging left right and center in the middle of a war.

  2745. One of the dumbest leaders out there. He really show up the people who support him.
    1
  2746.  @Freshbott2  of course they have reserves in the currencies you noted. Trust is a strong word. What do you think happens if China "invades" Taiwan? Say a few years from now. How much trust will they have in the currencies you noted? What will be the outcome for them financially? No one that is not a US ally trust any of the countries that cut Russia off the SWIFT system. That was the turning point. Give it 5 to 10 years to see the change though.

  2747.  @onelov3288  Hiroshima and Nagasaki is an unprecedented scale. Uncalled for. Pearl Harbor is a baby attack in comparison.

  2748. And every other bridge across the Dnieper. At the end of this war civil contractors from Europe will be raking it in (assuming Ukraine has the money to rebuild).

  2749.  @19SaD82  it really does not look effective in the video. Who would stay outside to get hit. With concrete structures I cannot see what catches fire. They must have a plan though.
    1
  2750.  @chaosXP3RT  to hit a border village of no consequence? Really? What is the strategic importance?
    1
  2751.  @chaosXP3RT  your analysis is Russia thinks NATO is weak? Put some evidence to show where Putin or the current military commander says that. Why not go with the more logical explanation that Ukraine needs more support so they need to raise the stakes?
    1
  2752.  @chaosXP3RT  you are not making sense. Russia has been holding back. From day 1 they could have fired dozens of missiles on Kyiv and continued for several weeks. Anyway if NATO plays the nuclear game with Russia it will lead to a great reset. All of them will be gone.
    1
  2753.  @xpainx5185  not sure which side you mean but its applicable to both.
    1
  2754.  @chaosXP3RT  is there no one in the internet with enough sense to check where someone is located before they claim they are Russian?
    1
  2755.  @Whatdoesntkillyoumakesyo-cg6pd  sad the amount of recent accounts claiming to be real people. Your account for example is dated Apr 6, 2022. BTW my comment holds for both sides. Pretend people and pretend support.
    1
  2756.  @aem8129  NATO couldn't enforce a no fly zone and you think they will enforce repayment? All they can do is take the frozen Russian funds and the legality of it is very questionable. Cannot claim high morals if they take that money.
    1
  2757.  @SA-hh9mv  the challenge here is Russia is probably not going to back down so who knows where this ends.
    1
  2758.  @SA-hh9mv  retaining what they have now is probably fine for Russia. Complete defeat back to per 2014 borders is likely not acceptable. Why should they accept defeat in this proxy war when they have tactical nukes? What is really stopping them from using one as a show of force? If that genie comes out of the bottle then what? At the rate this is going that may well be an eventuality.
    1
  2759.  @nicolasolton  go for it.
    1
  2760.  @einienj3281  actually you replied to me last time. I only replied on this because you made a particularly one sided comment. Lets continue escalating. When Russia has nothing to loose it should be fun for you Europeans.
    1
  2761. This is the only way for this to not be a crime so of course that is what will be said. No one will ever pay for this even if its proven.
    1
  2762.  @jamegumb7298  its unlikely they have a foreign currency problem since they are insisting on getting payed in rubles. If they had issues Euro would have been a lot more beneficial.
    1
  2763. And with the internet its now a lot worse.
    1
  2764.  @MarideMari82  no just when they are being a hypocrite. The same people who are so morally sound today are the ones that committed the crimes yesterday. Either its all wrong or its fine. Pick a side.
    1
  2765.  @rudolfkeizah4682  but Kosovo is so different rules there. Amusing how the west works.
    1
  2766. Why are you expecting the Ukrainians or the people here that blindly support to think? Sheep.
    1
  2767.  @YellowBlueArmy  and of course Russia just takes the damage and does nothing right? Or do they respond and do ten fold damage? Ukraine is hurt more by its media friendly attacks.
    1
  2768. Choices by US and Ukraine. What should Russia do? Stop? Retreat to pre war borders? Escalate with the aim to take all of Ukraine so there are no Ukrainian bases for those pilots to return to? Put your emotions aside and think what will be the best option from a Russian standpoint.
    1
  2769.  @qwertyqwerty-zi6dr  that's not a sensible position to take after starting a war in which they are winning at present. Definitely not the position Russia will take. At least not at the moment.
    1
  2770.  @JamesC785  no I think Russia can escalate much more than they are doing at present. We will see.
    1
  2771.  @JamesC785  more troops and equipment. More strikes on cities far from the front lines. Probably some more daring air raids (with more aircraft lost in the process). Possibly also strikes from Belarus on weapons supply lines coming in to Ukraine. Belarus is a wild card. Who knows if they will attack. If they do then Ukraine would be well stretched with two fronts.
    1
  2772.  @JamesC785  you might be right that it will not escalate. That's definitely a possibility too but I think the better bet for Russia is escalation. Belarus is definitely a wild card. It is quite risky to attack as you noted but it seems to be gearing up that way.
    1
  2773. "What Russia fails to realize is that country is paying Russia for its fuel benefitting Russia economy" its a good thing you pointed this out to the Russians. Poor fellas didn't realise.
    1
  2774. Not surprised by this video. EU especially seems to have some dunce people at the helm.
    1
  2775.  @DarkRoomAmbience  something had to be done but its dumb to do something just for doing it sake. War is strategy like chess. You do not make a move for making it sake. You make a move with a clear understanding of the implications. EU has made a complete fool of themselves. Imagine being surprised Russia cut off their gas? A teenager could have figured that out. Hurting Russia economically is not a good strategy at all. It does nothing for the war in the short term. That only matters if this drags on for a long time. Pointless. A better plan would have been staying neutral and forcing both parties to the table. A deal has to be hammered out. Ukraine will loose some territory and possibly NATO membership but maybe some form deal that UN will station some troops at the front lines for the next 20 years to ensure no clashes. That's a realistic stance. So many lives would have been saved if EU had people with intelligence. Germany and France are the only two that seem to understand this.
    1
  2776. No many think he is an idiot.
    1
  2777. That would be folly with the number of nukes Russia has.
    1
  2778.  @gazpachopolice7211  🤦‍♂ that is what you understood? Wow.
    1
  2779.  @gazpachopolice7211  basically it would be dumb to remove a nation with the most nukes from the security council. Nothing is wrong with adding India but removing Russia is not wise. It does not make the world more stable. Mutual respect and dialogue between the nuclear nations is critical to our restraint and non proliferation.
    1
  2780.  @gazpachopolice7211  you are quite right about nuclear weapons at the origins. I was referring to present situation. There is a level or mutual respect. Cut out the empty rhetoric and you will see it. So far Russia has maintained it will not use nukes unless its integrity is threatened. That is not how its being portrayed. Again cut out the rhetoric from people who are just trying to score political points. We are talking about further proliferation. Who has now will always have. Push Russia and I am betting Iran will have a lot faster. Israel will be in a lot of trouble (as would Iran when there is a retaliatory strike).
    1
  2781.  @gazpachopolice7211  the newly acquired territories are highly suspect. I doubt Russia will use nukes to protect those. Crimea is a essential to them so who knows about that area. I'd still say mutual respect but there is of course a lot of fear of what the other side will do. Probably a really good thing Ukraine has no nukes. Putin is more level headed than Zelensky. He would have used them a long time ago. Russia would have retaliated. The count would have been in the hundreds of thousands to millions by now.
    1
  2782. Who wants to stop? Zelensky -- nope. Putin -- nope. USA -- nope. I think the only people who cant to stop this is probably the poor citizens of Ukraine.
    1
  2783. Unless we develop immortality treatments soon and its relatively cheap this is not going to affect me or even some generations to come.

  2784. Been that way for quite some time. If China starts supplying Russia all of NATO won't be able to keep up.
    1
  2785.  @oliverharris7366  Americans cost money. They worship the money gods. Few just volunteer. Anyway that would be a private army then and not just Ukrainians defending their lands. You really think Russia will not react very negatively?
    1
  2786.  @oliverharris7366  I trust your reference included 50,000 to 100,000 Americans right? Enough to make a difference. 1 or 2 hundred is irrelevant.
    1
  2787. Actually Putin is less vicious. See how long it took him to deal with Girkin.
    1
  2788.  @rashmigupta9  Russia wants the troops to redeployed elsewhere so they need to mop up this. Looks like a proper job by the Russians. Enough official opportunity to surrender. Now many will die.

  2792. Good plan. Isolate another nation.

  2793. @jamesramlal seems more than Ukraine is suffering. US just admitted they are low on shells. Sad that all of Europe and US cannot come slightly close to Russian production.
    1
  2794. @jamesramlal Ukraine is not winning right now. Come on there are lots of videos of destroyed vehicles. Believe what you want. Anyway its Biden who said they have to send cluster munitions because the US is running out.
    1
  2795. That's the way it should be. If someone under performs they get fired. Unless Putin is micromanaging I can't see how it makes sense to blame him directly.
    1
  2796. You misunderstand why its being done. This is all politics so in the end they say both sides broke the law. Its not because they care that 10 soldiers were executed at all.

  2797.  @johnvannisselroy6197  I laugh when people are so dumb they cannot tell what is a real account and one generated just to comment on this war. Guess which category you fall in.
    1
  2798.  @paidwitness797  so your theory is Putin is bullying NATO so they have a right to bully the rest of us? What happens to our freedom to buy from whom we want to? Russia has a long way to go to meed the vindictiveness of America. Look at what they are still doing to Cuba. Its time to push back against the really bully.
    1
  2799.  @VishalGupta-fl1wb  supporters may not like it but outsiders would definitely appreciate some real numbers. Anyway I get what you are saying.

  2800. Can't stop now. You've got to complete this. Maybe a 6 months test outside and discharge.
    1
  2801. For any peace talks to happen either Zelensy or Putin needs to step down. Since the west has no say in Russia we know whom must be pressured.
    1
  2802. But is he wrong?
    1
  2803. Nice explanation. I was not going to figure this one out.
    1
  2804. He is an absolute idiot and bully. Tries to intimidate those helping him if he does not get his way. Sad really that the west has to put up with him for the greater interest.
    1
  2805. And then nukes start to fly and the northern hemisphere was never the same again. US citizens try to emigrate and they are treated the same way they treated others.
    1
  2806.  @PsyphaX09  no everyone will not die. The whole of the US will not be annihilated. Many areas may not be inhabitable for a while though.

  2810.  @BUILD.THERE.  small buildings and renovations. Looking at options like multisplit and VRV. I started looking at efficiencies a lot more closely so I am impressed that he covered that in the video.
    1
  2811.  @BUILD.THERE.  let me start by saying this is definitely a topic I am going to spend more time on in the next few months. Time permitting I intend to start another channel on building services, codes and that kind of stuff to document / share as I learn. My primary channel is just tinkering, building stuff, repairing etc. With respect to the Energy Recovery I am not convinced it works where I am based in the Caribbean. Outside would probably be 28 deg celsius, and say 70 RH. Inside is probably 24 deg, 55 RH. I have done some rough calcs and I do not see the equipment paying back. If you have the time and you are interested I can find some time later this week to start the channel and put up the calcs I have done.
    1
  2812.  @haochentrends  and Ukraine will pay with what? They are being propped up by the US.
    1
  2813. At least try to make it believable. Sadly Ukraine has no concept of believable. They have men almost surrounded in Bakmut getting pounded by artillery but still they loose no men and Russia is loosing over 1000 a day. All just a show for Zelensky.
    1
  2814.  @Str8murkufool17  actually Ukraine is now saying over 1000 now. I was expecting that to come. Its necessary to keep the morale considering the situation in Bakmut.
    1
  2815. Actually they are quite smart and understand the ramifications. Its the poor souls on YT that cannot catch politics at that level.
    1
  2816. Yeah biowarfare is the real threat. We will reach to that level sooner or later sadly.
    1
  2817. Yup. Where they get a pat on the back instead of pictures with blood an their hands. Why not join them?
    1
  2818. So basically his plan of naming the generals put them in a position where they side with the west and commit treason or go forward with "weapons of mass destruction" and go all the way. Can only be tried once and if they annihilate much of Europe and some of the US everyone is too busy with their own problems to worry about them. That of course assumes they live after the retaliatory strikes. Seems like a very risky plan to me.
    1
  2819. Everything he does not like there will be no negotiations. Well it will just be a war forever or until one side is exhausted.
    1
  2820. Definitely seems that way looking on from the outside.
    1
  2821.  @daniel4647  anyone who cares to read the history will know but people are simple minded. I have had "educated" people talk about how great Steve Jobs is and they have no idea who is Wozniak. No idea about Lisa. No idea of the reality. All readily available if time is taken to google it.
    1
  2822.  @DarkRoomAmbience  I doubt they will loose Crimea. That's just not an option for Russia.
    1
  2823.  @carlosubakx379  and you saw this where?
    1
  2824. So is the Russian controlled areas fed from the same plant also? So why would Russia damage the plant? Russia is in control of the plant. Ukraine has the most to gain from damaging the plant. Nuclear cloud fears to rally Europe.
    1
  2825.  @murrayflewelling1258  Ukraine can only continue as long as the US continues to supply them. Most of Europe seems to be giving token support now. 3 governments collapses directly because of this war so far. Let's see what winter brings for Ukraine support. No handouts and Ukraine has no choice but to accept anything Russia puts on the table.
    1
  2826. There is a reason not a single country has stepped in. Media is all propaganda and BS. Actions speak a lot louder. What are they afraid of?
    1
  2827.  @howiescott5865  well we shall see how it all plays out. If the west pushes too hard they will loose more than Russia.
    1
  2828. So they now grow enough balls to acknowledge that?
    1
  2829.  @nsevv  agreed but they were afraid of the repercussions. It begs the question why state it now.
    1
  2830.  @Rocket_scientist_88  of course. Ukraine could be baiting them too.
    1
  2831.  @sababugs1125  nope. Everyone is going slow already. Once the currently approved money gets used up they doomed.
    1
  2832.  @sababugs1125  it is a lot but not all of that is weapons. Further US weapons are seriously expensive so that money does not go as far as one would think. Shipping, training and everything else would come out of that budget. Unlikely to be enough for Ukraine to win this war.
    1
  2833.  @sababugs1125  you may be right. Lets keep an eye on it.
    1
  2834.  bob  so why is Zelensky hustling like a whore on the corner, neo nazis crying like little babies because they are trapped and NATO trying to hustle every piece of equipment they can find and billions to prop up Ukraine?
    1
  2835.  @niburu1508  this conversation was not about Bakhmut. This war has proven that the people on both sides who thought they knew really didn't. Try watching the underlying movements and think for yourself. Anyway I may just be wasting my time since your account is very recent. Quite likely just generated to push out comments with an agenda.
    1
  2836.  @hien19016  we will see. Seems the people within NATO think they are the only ones relevant.
    1
  2837.  @ImMrHibachi  we can go with semantics but everyone who was willing to think knew it wasn't Russia. Of course a lot of the west is not willing to expend the energy to think or are so brainwashed they will follow their government's narrative. Germany does not want to be involved. They may have struck a deal with Russia and that would have killed the EU unity. Pipeline gone. problem solved. It was done by Germany's allies. US or UK.
    1
  2838.  @MatchSmith  Its perplexing that people trust any government. They all lie. At least all I know of.
    1
  2839.  @Benjamin-tg79  exactly. Finally its coming out. Germany is reaching their limit of tolerance and being pushed.
    1
  2840.  @johnvannisselroy6197  I have no problem with your assessment. At least you are being honest. Its the lies from the West that are annoying. Just call it as it is and face whatever the consequences may be. Yes there are consequences to blowing up a piece of infrastructure like that. it opens the door to others doing the same for other infrastructure. Not talking about Russia. Any other state that can benefit from damaging infrastructure of another.
    1
  2841.  @johnvannisselroy6197  lies on both sides should be called out. The west does not have "independent" press in most cases. Its not as bad as Russia or Ukraine for sure but its far from independent. They probably cannot be independent anyway given the level of thinking of the population. Even BBC has gone down a bad road.

  2846. Because that would be a stupid thing to do if there is no replacement. Whom do you propose?
    1
  2847. Seems some Russians never learn. Open their mouths and back up to high windows. Seems a few more will accidentally fall out.
    1
  2848.  @sharpsnowflake8721  don't get me wrong I am all for the free trade. The system works. We all get better products. I am just saying that the Americans are not supplying those weapons for free. There will be a decent payback. Ukrainians probably don't care that they will not benefit as much from the resources anyway. If it goes to Russia they get nothing. Without western funds maybe its under exploited.
    1
  2849. I don't see the big deal. It was unlikely Ukraine would have rolled over. Further they are reasonably well equipped and are receiving all kinds of weapons from "everyone". This will drag on a bit. It would be a shame if they fought for 20 years and had to leave with their tails between their legs.

  2850.  @khiem1939  if Ukraine ever publishes the real casualties of this escapade you won't like what you see.

    1
  2856.  @zlonewolf  I am not convinced military age men were allowed to leave Ukraine in any numbers. I will do some research time permitting. Of course there are men in other roles than military. Russia is not communist. Seems Russia did not care to stop the exodus after mobilisation or they could have easily blocked the easy routes.

  2860. @Stefan so what are they going to do when Russia cuts the gas? Sanction them :-). Russia should just cut those who do not comply.
    1
  2861. @Stefan I can say the same for you. You are on the side that is stoking the flames of this war to profiteer. US has Trillions of dollars in sales riding on this. Zelensky should have been told to negotiate and get this sorted. There is no reason for this to reach to war. UN could have gone in and do the referendums. War is good for business. Even Germany is lining up to sell weapons to Ukraine to make a buck. That's a worst side to be on. These people are risking nothing and profiteering off the blood of others. Russian and Ukrainian blood.

  2864.  @TheRavensOmen  how many have you watched that make an expert? Forget YT videos. Have you noticed how all nations are all skirting around getting involved in a direct war? Wonder why. Great USA, saviour of all that is good and democratic has not done anything but sanctions. Sad really how poorly their polices are. Lets hope its all for the cameras and they do not back Putin in a corner where he feels he needs to use nukes. With respect to protest does that even come close to the protest when Trump came in power? People will always disagree and protest. That's irrelevant.

  2871. This is a lot more complex. You have considered robots but what about AI software? In fact very shortly all of us may be out of a job. Yes you too Dagogo. AI bots will learn from your videos and probably make them better than you soon enough. Society needs to rethink our present structure of value through labour. Maybe we automate to the point where much of the manual and intellectual labour is not necessary. We simply provide people with the essentials needed for life. Sounds far off but do you hesitate to give someone something like a plastic bag. I don't. Its so cheap its not a consideration. We need basic human needs to reach to that state too. We need to reach that level in all countries.

  2874.  @whatdoesntkillyoumakesyous6707  Russian gulags are not comparable to Gitmo. One holds nationals and the other holds kidnapped citizens from other countries. I never checked how many are charged on any side. Those are token numbers that is irrelevant. War is messy. Any length one will have tens of thousands of "crimes" What percentage is followed up and charged? You cannot outmaneuver you way out of western hypocrisy.

Further many are from scrapped items so I have a little of "everything" from wood to gypsum to machine screws. Fine threads and coarse. Steel, stainless steel, brass and plastic screws. Its a lot. This was definitely one of your more interesting videos.

  2898.  @derks0  I think you misunderstand the scale of the items China supplies. Anyway it should be fine for the moment. They playing the long game in my opinion. I could be wrong on that though.
    1
  2899.  @derks0  maybe not that much in the US but in many places in the world they do buy their stuff. They are almost on par with the west in many areas. Of course they are far behind in others. But they will do ok even without the west. Of course no point giving up the cash cow for now. Stay low, develop some more. The time will come though and its going to be problems.

  2900.  @visalakshimahadevan612  Russia had no reason to send those missiles. Ukraine did it on purpose. Anytime the war is loosing traction among the donors Ukraine tries to stoke the flames to get more weapons.
    1
  2901.  @deankruse2891  of course US will risk their destruction and the lives of over 330M to abide by article 5. Or just maybe if there is no direct threat to the US they will step back and think carefully on how to proceed. Which do you think is more likely?
    1
  2902.  @deankruse2891  so if Russia uses a tactical nuke you think that's a threat to the US and they should fire nukes at Russia? Russia will just fire back and many more will die on the other side. Lot more people in dense areas on the NATO side. Whom do you think looses more? Biden is stupid but not that stupid.
    1
  2903. No they need to drag it as long as possible. At least till a time closer to the US elections. They need to keep it brewing so there is no chance Ukraine will get to join NATO.

  2904. @Michael Kopischke "Russia can't retaliate against the USA for a precision conventional strike on a specific military production facility with no civilian losses." I believe you are very mistaken. That will be the start of WWIII and who knows how it will end. The west may not win this one. Likely no one will.
    1
  2905. @Michael Kopischke that's an interesting theory. So what happens when Russia does the same to US? Not necessarily well guarded military installations and not caring too much about some civilian casualties? The US us very open and easy to attack. Starting that kind of game is very dangerous. I will agree though the Russians seem to have a problem admitting someone got one over them. Some of the explanations in this war have been past ridiculous.
    1
  2906. @Michael Kopischke I think its quite dangerous to try a strike and then find out the reaction. Further there would be the concern of how China views this. Can US strike inside their territory too? I do not think the US will ever do that. It's against international rules too. Not that the big boys ever follow those, especially the US.

  2921.  @Charliess1990  its fine to look at from that angle too. Russia and Ukraine are both free to do anything they like once they can live with the consequences.
    1
  2922.  Yasha  and you can talk about all kinds of history but that is not the reality today. You started off imagining Crimea being part of Ukraine. Reality today is Crimea is part of Russia. Reality tomorrow we do not know but I would bet it remains Russian. You are the one who cannot accept the reality today. You can live in any time frame you want to but I choose to live in present times.
    1
  2923.  Yasha  now you really out of your league here. Unless you are a professor at a university I am well past your level in multiple fields too. You have no content and just over a month your account was opened. You have no credibility.
    1
  2924.  @colinhubble6667  this thread is 2 months old. I don't recall all the conversations. Anyway if you are talking about the Azov my understand is they were around before the Crimea issue. That issue is more complex. Crimea was Russian before and should never have been placed under Ukraine. No revolts when it was annexed. What does that tell you? Maybe no one burst down the front door as you are saying.
    1
  2925.  @colinhubble6667  modern nations do not respect borders. US definitely does not. US goes into Iraq and installs a puppet government. The world stays quiet. No sanctions. No weapons donated. No cries of foul. Russia goes in to a country next door and ties regime change. They think there is a threat. Completely different reaction. Stop being hypocrites.

  2928.  @thomasridley8675  I agree Russia is going down but that was inevitable. They rely too much on fossil fuels so that fall was inevitable. This war his just put it into overdrive. Maybe they will rejig their economy or maybe not. That waits to be seen. I won't bet on them in the short term though. The neutral countries were not that neutral to start with. Finland and Sweden were practically NATO. If either was attached EU armies would have marched right in. Switzerland was most likely pressured by the EU and US. They have been loosing that neutrality for years now. Banking has more check and balances. Its not possible for them to easily hide blood money like they did in WWII.
    1
  2929.  @luishernandezblonde  smarter than most of the EU combined by far. I am amazed the EU even survives considering their level of competence. Those people are so dumb the sanction Russia and then is appalled that Russia cut the gas they receive. Since you are from the EU you may not catch it. The rest of the world does though.
    1
  2930.  @luishernandezblonde  guess you didn't realise Finland and Sweden were practically in in NATO already. They do military exercises with NATO. If Russia invaded Finland EU member states would have sent in troops instantly. Further that border is not very important. Its very easy to defend. Ukraine is a completely different animal. You're never going to catch it so stick to your narrative. .

    1
  2942.  @Unhinged_rant_starts_here  the end does not justify the means. They should not have supported the Azov and further incorporated them. It seems the Azov was in fact indiscriminate in their approach in the region since it was largely Russian speakers. Both of those serious blunders by the Ukrainian government still does not justify the Russian invasion. That said this could have been avoided or over a long time now but the US is now making money on this in the hundreds of billions so there is no interest in stopping this. Sad really.
    1
  2943.  @Unhinged_rant_starts_here  I expect the opposite. I expect them to be raised to the status of heroes and more young men joining this and other similar groups under the premise of preparing in case this ever happens again.

  2944.  @oOOlivierful  "You on the other and you're nothing." jokey. He chose to be there. He chose to work with the conscript. He chose to complain when death was dealt next to him. He ran. Those are the facts as presented. He was one of the best in the past. Now its unclear.

    1
  2952.  @ajaykumarsingh702  I would argue that the reasoning is due to the number of Russian speaking people in Ukraine that would be directly affected. They have been trying to minimise the impact but its only so far they can do that.

  2954.  13ased_American  try finding links for any of the countries US invaded. English or French aren't saints either. Try proving Taiwan is a country. The world is a little more complex and it seems the BS by western media works well on the simple minds that live there.

He was just too stupid to realise it.

  2962.  @pjhgerlach  and the world has gotten that the SWIFT system is unreliable as is keeping assets in NATO countries. We all get that clearly now. The world is now separating. Hope the west can survive especially considering their increasing hostility towards China. India has decided to be neutral so far. The west has some serious problems coming all because of stupid decisions. Don't get me wrong Russia will struggle a lot too.

  2969.  @MonroeSim  US pretends to be powerful. They may have equipment but they do not have the guts for a war that takes out tens to hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Further if it escalates to that level nukes will surely come into play. That basically levels the playing field to a large extent. The US is more bluff that anything else. Against small rivals they are deadly. Against bigger players they know their place.

  2980.  @parrotletsrunearth1173  but we know the likelihood is negligible during the present war. Its just not sensible.
    1
  2981.  @19SaD82  no many nations in NATO are smart enough to realise thats a dumb move. Invitations is just PR. Not important.
    1
  2982.  @19SaD82  this is the way I see it. The war ends in 3 ways. 1) Ukrainian defeat and some territory ceded. 2) Stalemate largely where it is (or Russia reaches the extents of Donbas) and parties are exhausted fighting. Ukrainian cedes territory. 3) Russian defeat and Ukraine gets back it territory. Scenario 1 is likely and you can hear it in the western leaders speeches which keep saying Russia must not be allowed to win. In this case there is regime change most likely and the new leadership will have to consider Russia's position so no NATO. Scenario 2 is also likely. Trying to Join NATO opens up a new reason to fight if Russia can. Many nations like Hungary and Turkey will be very wary and will most likely not vote in favour. Turkey looses a lot from separating from Russia and not being ablot to play both sides. Scenario 3 is possible but it does not seem likely at the moment. A defeated Russia means they didn't use nukes. What's the point of having them and not using them to protect national interest as important as Crimea? What happens if nukes are used is anyone's guess. Maybe I am wrong. We will see.
    1
  2983.  @19SaD82  you are running on a lot of assumptions to say Ukraine will win. Yes it may make sense to use tactical nukes at some point. Ukraine in NATO puts Russia at risk and that makes them dangerous. Don't start with Finland. They were practically NATO already and not a relevant access point to Russia with mechanised formations. Making Ukraine a NATO member is not in the interest of a few current members. It can lead to a war at the doorstep of neighbouring states. That makes it dumb. What's their benefit? Apart from Poland no one is that anxious for that. I see the west loosing influence all over. This is by no means a pro Russian channel. BTW I watch channels from all sides which is probably a lot more than can be said for most. We will see how this all pans out.

  2994.  @kiwi8.  only because Russia is pissing about with this war. They not serious at all. From day 1 they should have started hitting all the substations, water treatment plants, waste water plants and fuel depots. These are all big infrastructure that cannot be camouflaged and many locations would have been known from the soviet era. Heck even plans would have been in Russian hands.Ukraine cannot function with no infrastructure. Russia is really not serious. Seem more like they playing cat and mouse with the west.
    1
  2995.  @kiwi8.  I suspect there is a bigger objective and they are just feeling out each other. Anyone can claim something but will they actually put resources behind it. If that guess is right the west is not loosing men. Its just money for weapons so they will keep going to expose as much Russian weaknesses as they can.

  2998.  @djx7134  you are clearly not all there. Everybody is Russian if the don't agree with the dumb western ideas. Sad really the level of thinking that got EU surprised Russia cut the gas. Their intelligence is seriously over rated. Finland doesn't stand a chance if it comes to nuclear war. They would be a real threat and be wiped out in the first day. NATO didn't intervene but sent in tens of billions of dollars. Jokey argument. Not intervening is NOT intervening at all. Staying out of it. Really its that simple a concept.

  2999. Or maybe they are using Pantsir and BUK but the media is selling it a different way. So many lies on all sides you can never tell the truth. Imagine Prigozhin comes across as the most honest. That's how bad the lies are.

  3002.  @jomerrepaso4883  so if Russia is firing at least 5 times the artillery that Ukraine is able to fire how come the Ukrainians are killing 10 times the amount of Russians compared to their losses? Commonsense suggest who is lying here.

  3010. But EU is actively making comments like the US that China is a big problem. One has to wonder what happens if China is pushed away and scales back its investment for the belt and road initiative.

They are appalled and call him all kinds of names. They send more equipment and start the cycle all over. Sooner or later the stakes will reach nuclear. Who breaks the cycle? Putin or the West?

  3018.  @paulryan5984  let me ask a two simple questions. Whom did China copy to land a rover on the far side of the moon? Which country filed the most patents in 2018 with WIPO?
    1
  3019.  @paulryan5984  I am very skeptical of the human moon landing. That we can agree on. China did not send a human. The first non human moon landing was by the Soviet Union in 1959 but no one ever sent a lander on the far side. Bit of a problem with the moon blocking the radio signals. With respect to the patents issue research WIPO. I have filed a WIPO application (its not a patent. WIPO does not grant patents). China is not stealing Western Tech because WIPO will not put out those stats if they were. China is really getting better and people are afraid. They are selling stuff to the west and using the money to out pace the west. People like Trump are trying hard to slow their progress. They see the writing on the wall.

  3020. I am betting a lot of those weapons will end up in Russia and China. Expect them to be reverse engineered soon. That said they do not appear to be cutting edge so maybe nothing is lost if China gets a few to peek at.

  3033. How does this stop Ukraine from joining NATO in the future? That does not solve the situation for Russia. Zelensky is definitely dangerous with his call for nuclear weapons. He and like thinkers have to be removed or Russia just kicked the can down the road and it can be a potentially much deadlier conflict.

  3036.  @dki-ruzzianfreeenvironment7695  this war has been going on for some time. All reports on the invasion show that it was focused on the north and east. Weeks went between the withdrawal from Kyiv and this renewed push in the east. Stop being an ass. Roads were fine for a very long time.

  3045.  @lifessogood2995  the west is the center of much if the innovation, ip and wealth so they will survive for sure. Growth will be slower though. EU will become more closed off since they will become less competitive with China due to higher cost all stemming from higher energy cost. They will have to protect markets. Prices will be higher for the citizenry. Australia should be careful. They are on the wrong side of the world to push and anti Asian and Russian agenda were strongly. No one wins but this was brewing for some time now.

  3046.  @davedrewett2196  I don't disagree Russia will have a problem soon enough until the infrastructure to sell to China is completed. I do not know enough on the oil industry to dispute your statements on the pipelines freezing. Seems a bit odd that only western countries can sort this though. Guess we will see in the next year how this pans out.

There will be a drift back to looking after their business first and Turkey is an important element. Especially as an option for alternate gas sources.
