  1. Surovikin the most able General in the Russian military is now out of the picture, another win for Ukraine.

  2. The Wagner group only achieved its successes in Bakhmut on the deaths of 32 thousand prisoners. Olga Romanova the spokeswoman of a Russian Prisoner rights group stated that 40 thousand prisoners were recruited into Wagner. 32 thousand were killed, wounded, surrendered, Awol, and missing. She stated that there was a maximum of 8 thousand prisoners still in the Wagner group. Prighozin's Wagner, without the human wave attacks of his prisoners, is just a very small force and will be unable to carry on being an effective fighting force when its contract fighters start suffering heavy casualties after they are forced to actually lead frontline attacks because there are no prisoners left. Wagner can no longer recruit any more prisoners after they realized it was a death sentence. Bakhmut was Phrigozins baby and he failed, which is why he no longer receives any more backing from the regular Russian army. Not because Putin thinks he is a political rival. Putin could have him killed with just one phone call.

  3. North Korea is in a constant state of military preparedness. Its ability to supply Russia with weapons is not infinite and it has most probably reached its limit of Shells and missiles it can spare. Otherwise, its own defence would be seriously compromised. It is highly doubtful that North Korea can easily replace or manufacture more shells when all its money and expertise is going into its nuclear weapons.

  6. Plenty of toilet paper in the Uk. In fact, just bought some from Lidel for about £4.00. Prices really good.

  7. No general in his right mind would advocate the use of nukes. So I call BS on your comment.

  8. Russian inflation rate in reality is about 30%, most probably a lot more.

  9.  @LoyalistHellHound  Ukrainian casualties right across the front have been about one-tenth that of the Russian invaders. So for every 50 Ukrainian casualties, there have been 600 Russian casualties. This makes sense because Invading or attacking forces must have superiority in numbers of at least 3 to 1. This is a widely accepted figure in professional military analysis ever since WW2. I think this is even higher because the Russian military has been so poor and incompetent and doesn't seem to care about the lives of its troops. Plus the greater accuracy of Ukrainian weapons suggests a ratio of 5 Russian troops eliminated killed or wounded to 1 Ukrainian. Sorry dog but Propaganda does not work this side of the iron curtain after all Russia is the Empire of Lies.

  10. Yes they have retreated in certain areas but the cost they have inflicted on Russian forces is catastrophic. Territory can be regained but those dead and wounded Russians are a testament to a failed offensive. Russia has lost this war. It just does not know it yet but it will, the damage that has been done and will continue to be inflicted can never be repaired both militarily and economically. Even if by some miracle Russia wins on the battlefield maybe 500,000 Russians will lie dead in Ukraine. When the Russian people find out what Putin has done he will fall without a doubt and the sanctions will never end.

  14. The Ukranians destroyed the Russian professional army. Why does Putin think the amateur Russian army will do any better?

  17. These attacks in Kharkiv are proof that Putin and Russia has lost this war. He can't defeat the Ukranians politically or militarily and can only attack civilians. During the 2nd world War Hitler made the same mistake against the UK, when he began terror raids against cities instead of military targets such as airfields, it was one of the many mistakes that lost Germany the War and it appears Putin is making the exact same mistakes.

  18. ​@John Whitehurst Well thought out anayalsis, the Ukranians have the best Nato generals helping them with real time intelligence.

  22. The Russian economy cannot sustain such a large military. Russia has only mobilised 300,000 because it cannot arm, train or supply any more than that. The only reason Putin is still mobilizing is because they are losing so many troops and need to replenish lost troops. But as can be seen, it is not enough for Russia to advance much further than it already has. I think Ukraine can last several more years at this rate of conflict, but Russia is already starting to buckle under the economic strain. Its currency is falling, it is running a deficit budget every month, its oil and gas revenue is down by 70 percent since 2021, the Sovereign Wealth Fund propping up this failing economy will only last another 6 to 12 months, then Russia is in a whole world of trouble. I truly believe Russia is one or two more sanctions packages from buckling under the strain. At the moment its economy is artificially held up by 2 things, its Wealth Fund and its increase in military production which is giving them a short-term boost. Russia is in serious trouble and its future looks increasingly bleak under the Putin Regime.

  23. During the 2nd world war, a mistake saved Great Britain. During a bombing run against German military targets, British bombers accidently dropped weapons on a German city. Up to that time no major cities on either side had been attacked. But Hitler thought it was a deliberate attack and stated that for every bomb dropped on civilian cities they would drop hundreds in response. He then ordered his bombers to attack the major cities of Britain and destroy them into submission, basically revenge attacks. But Hitler did not know that the German Airforce was on the verge of defeating the Royal Airforce because their airfields and control centers had been under constant attack and were on the verge of being knocked out. Hitlers orders to attack civilian targets actually saved the Royal Airforce infrastructure, which went on to defend British airspace and won the Battle of Britain, saving it from an invasion. Russia does not seem to understand that attacking civilian infrastructure will not break the Ukrainian's. it will just alleviate pressure on the Ukranian military and enable them to get on with the job just that little bit easier. Terror attacks just make the victims stronger and make the soldiers on the front-line fight even stronger. The Ukranians remind me of the British and i am actually starting to feel sorry for the Russians knowing what is going to happen to them.

  24. No one should use YouTube as their main method of making money. It's so precarious that I would not be paying my mortgage based on a YouTube channel.

  26. If he ever became president he would not last long. Putin was elected on a popular mandate with a genuine massive majority. He still has high grassroots support with the great unwashed masses not so much in major cities. Prizgozin has no such popularity, same goes for most of the regime.

  27. @Psychx  Yes the polls have always been manipulated no question but the ironic thing about it he was genuinely supported and had no need to manipulate the early polls he would have won anyway. The point is if even 20 percent of the population genuinely support him now in a dictatorship that's considered a mandate to rule the country and its enough people to maintain his power base, cheers.

  28. Russia is now a terrorist state. It is a seriously sick society and the blood on its hands will take many decades, if ever, to wash from its hands. The West must go all in to support Ukraine, they are fighting for the future of Europe. If America abandons Ukraine, then so be it. Europe has the resources and finances to fully equip and keep the Ukranian economy going and the Europeans governments seem to have the full support of their electorates. America is no longer a reliable partner, especially if Trump gets into power. He may even pull out of Nato because he is a full Putin asset. The peace dividend from the collapse of the Soviet Union is now over and we must get our heads around the new reality. Putin is a clear danger to the democratic countries of Europe and this chance to neutralize Russia without the use of Nukes may never happen again. Russia will never be able to keep the annexed oblasts of Ukraine because it would mean never ending conflict and Russia economy would eventually collapse. It is not the Soviet Union, it is actually a very weak, developing economy and is vulnerable to the economic power of the West.

  29. Putin did not agree to lose 1.8 million troops. The British general said the could lose that many. Russia will collapse before that happens.

  31. It makes sense that the Russians are faking an invasion from Belarus but attack from the Kherson region. The Russians are taking a leaf out of the Ukrainian playbook when they softened up Kherson for the big attack but then attacked through Luhansk and completely fooled the Russians into reinforcing the Kherson region at the expanse of Luhansk.

  35. It's Putin escalating not the West. He needs to stop now before we all burn. His continuing poor judgement and decisions will destroy Russia and Ukraine and maybe even the world. He is a coward and needs to be stopped.

  37. The Ukrainians of the Donetsk, annexed by the Putin, are fighting against the Ukranian armed forces. So Putin in a twisted version of reality could most probably pass a lie detector test because in his warped mind he could see this as Ukranian vs Ukranian. This is a perfect example how Putin and the Russian people just hide away from the facts and convince themselves that what they are doing is not wrong. Russia is a very troubled society.

  41. Latvia is right to refuse entry because every single man sent back to Russia that does not want to fight is going to be a very low morale soldier and liable to surrender the first chance they get.

  43.  @LoyalistHellHound  Ukraine did not have 1 million troops mobilized at the start of the war. In fact, Ukraine thought and told the West that Putin would not invade. Well after another stab in the back against Ukraine, when Russia invaded, they then started mobilization. So for your information, so you can tell all your comrades, the initial invasion consisted of the entire Russian professional military, including VDV and other special forces, all the best tanks and helicopters the cream of the crop. These were up against 250,000 Ukrainian troops spread across the entire borders. We all know what happened it backfired and Russia has not won a significant strategic victory in 10 months. The victory in Soledar is not finished yet and constitutes a Pyrrhic win for Putin, a very small tactical victory at massive cost. Yes, Ukraine did begin mobilizing after the Russian stab in the back but for your information, It's possible for Ukraine to mobilize another 1 million men and women. Putin and Russia can not win this war. Oh and the Russian economy will be collapsing this year, it's going to be worse than the 90's, you better get ready.

  44. Russia can just about arm the military it's mobilized now, no way it can supply more troops. Russia will be lucky to last economically till the end of the year.

  45. @Azzcrack  7 months after they first started attacking Bahkmut, we are still waiting for time to tell us something, anything.

  46. @Azzcrack  The West could finish this war if they really wanted to. But they have to be very careful. Russia has 6 thousand nuclear weapons. That is the only thing stopping the West from destroying Russia in Ukraine. They have/are giving Ukraine just enough weapons to defend itself, but Russian military is so bad it may be enough to get its occupied territory back. If the West gave Ukraine all the tanks and IFV, it really needed, Jets, long range missiles, predator drones, more Himars etc How long do you think Russia could last? Don't forget Russia is NOT the Soviet Union, its much weaker.

  47. This entire invasion of Ukraine is uncannily similar to nazi germanys playbook. They had their militia called the brown shirts or the SA which was led by Ernst Rhom. When they become too powerful Adolf had Rhom killed and the brown shirts integrated into the German Army. The same thing will happen to Prizghocin and the Wagner group.

  48. Russia will never use Nukes in Ukraine or anywhere else. Why? because Russia is not threatened and never was threatened by the West. In fact, it was the opposite, the West had reduced its troops and Equipment ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and Putin and his regime understand this. They know the West will never attack Russia let alone threaten them. The West wont even give Ukraine long-range missiles in case Ukraine uses them on Russian territory, that's how safe Russia is from the West. The greatest danger to Russia is Putin, Medvedev and the rest of the cronies running Russia. They are flushing the future of the Russian people down the toilet.
