Once again, fantastic video Anders! I’m really grateful that you’re willing to spend time sharing your insight and perspective! I'm especially glad that you took time to speak about Surovikin, and I think we can expect more terror towards civilians with him in charge! This is a guy who if I recall correctly killed three Russian civilian protestors by running his tank over them - and he’s in many ways the old school type who would prefer using old WW2 doctrines like carpet bombing cities! Tusind tak Anders, er virkelig taknemmelig for at du gider at tage dig tid til at dele din indsigt og dit perspektiv, og er fan'me glad for at vi har mennesker som dig ansat i vores Forsvar!

@dpelpal It's harming Russia in SO many ways. Think about this, who are most likely to flee the country right now? What we see is that a majority of them are young men with medium to longer educations, people who, if they do apply for asylum as Conscientious Objectors, and its granted them, has a higher chance of finding work in a long range of countries who are currently screaming for highly educated employees for their workforce. It's literally a brain drain of a generation happening! Now it's just, who will grant them asylum and take advantage of this opportunity.

@stefviljoen8928 Heck yeah, I don't know if he do any lecturing now, but I know he has been very involved in education within the Royal Danish Navy and I know he's currently a Royal Danish Navy Commander, and work as a Military Analyst and a Researcher at the Royal Danish Defence College, Institute for Military Operations, Center for Maritime Operations, and that he's a specialist on Ukraine and Russia. And that he's a common guest in especially Danish News Media whenever they need someone with profound insights into matters relating to the two countries! (This is ALL available as OSINT, so I'm not doxxing anything here). I can't help get the impression that he's a "nerd", and I mean that in the most positive way possible - and I get that impression from how he spend time doing this as well, and how his enthusiasm for sharing his insight shines through even when it's tough topics - in my experience this is also what makes people great as teachers, this joy and enthusiasm for explaining things.

@hdrotciv Sure buddy - independent media from several countries report on high numbers of young men leaving Russia, but it's just imagination!

It's definitely not something that get a lot of attention in the news - but there is news stations that has programs where they make "deep dives" into various issues - and there's also some great podcasts that do the same. However, I think Anders is great at cooking it down and presenting it to an audience - and it also helps that my GF thinks he's hot, so she don't mind me watching his videos even when they are released pretty late in the evening or early in the morning. 😜

@jgw9990 Brain drains are never "good for the country"!

We're all very proud of you! 😜

Not just civilians, but care to guess who are attempting to avoid collateral damage on its own population and contrast this with who are forcing the civilians to only flee in ONE direction, (towards areas still controlled by Russia).

@simonbach3618 The use of chemical barrel bombs was the Syrian Military, but he undoubtedly knew about it - and he did carpet bomb civilians in Syria yes. While NATO assisted Iraq and the Kurds in fighting ISIL/ISIS/DAESH, the Syrian regime and their Russian buddies were busy carpet bombing cities and towns where they "suspected" rebel activity aka any opposition towards the Assad regime, so also a lot of civilians.

@stirlitz974 No there wasn't - why are you repeating a lie that Gorbachev himself has said is untrue?

@stirlitz974 So suddenly British artists Roger Waters is an authority? Honestly, it's hard to not laugh. Pussy Riot, Little Big, Morgenstern, Monetochka, Noize MC, and 20.000 more Russian artists and Russian cultural workers has all spoken out against Russia's invasion of Ukraine and demanded that Russia withdraw immediately - how about that?

@stirlitz974 I think you forgot to use Google Translate for this one....

@jesperbojesen9256 Spot on!

@danyboon4851 Yes, definitely! At least these Drone attacks isn’t as dangerous as if a couple of blocks get carpet bombed!

@stirlitz974 No, it's not true - FFS, even Gorbachev debunked this story. There were talks between him and some American minister, but there were never any agreements on anything. Part of this is because a single American, or even America as a whole, doesn't get to decide what the future politics of NATO will be. This is one of the problems, you people never fully understood what NATO is, what it does, or how it functions. It isn't "an extension of America" - it's 30, soon 32, individual sovereign countries participating voluntarily in a organization based on a treaty of alliance , and NATO can't make large decisions on anything if just one of these countries disagree! It's not like the old USSR/CCCP where uprising internal opposition just led to the Red Army being send to crush it, or opposition in a Warsaw Pact being crushed like in Hungary. All NATO countries can leave if they want to - and they can't be forced to do anything they don't want to do, in fact, they can stop things from happening in NATO regi! Also, a country being a member of NATO doesn't mean that everything that country do, is under NATO. Let's take the invasion of Iraq as an example, (something I personally think was stupid), several countries who are members of NATO participated, BUT, it had NOTHING to do with NATO! In fact, several other NATO countries like Norway and Germany condemned the invasion! It's the same with the BS about NATO should tell Ukraine that it can never be a member - NATO can't do that! Heck, NATO can't tell Russia that it will never be able to be s member - and back when the NATO Partnership for Peace program was created, the Americans dreamed of Russia eventually becoming a member, (although there was some serious doubts among the former East Block countries, who didn't believe Russia would be willing to follow the path that would make it possible to join - and clearly they were right!)

@stirlitz974 As I already implied, you truly don’t have any idea of what NATO is, what it does, or how it functions!

@stirlitz974 Oh, but did he also explain that they have visited the occupied part of Donbass, but was only allowed to do so under constant and very close military supervision? And that journalists who had tried to get close to Donbas by traveling to neighboring part of Russia had been threatened and harrased? The best way to know the truth from any Russian official is when they think they're not being recorded, like the guy who revealed that Russia uses drones from Iran while telling the journalist who was about to interview him, that he shouldn't ask him about the origin of the drones because Kremlin didn't want it to be known - all while not realizing they were already live and his microphone was hot...

@stirlitz974 Guess who started that war too.... Dyadya Putin and his Oligarch Bratva in Kremlin!
1
@stirlitz974 Sure buddy, let's just pretend that Russia wasn't arming terrorists in the Donbass region, sorry I mean, "Seperatist Militias", and that there wasn't Oligarchs with close ties to Kremlin and the Solntsevskaya Bratva who funded them, and let's just pretend that the so called "Private Security Company" ChVK Vagnera, a organization with close ties to GRU, owned by an Oligarch with very close ties to the wannabe Tzar, and lead by the "former" GRU Officer, war-criminal, and well known Neo-Nazi Lt.Col. Dmitry Utkin, hasn't been active on Ukrainian soil since 2014.... Ukraine didn't violate sh¡t - but should we maybe start with looking at all the agreements Russia has violated? Should we start with the agreement/assurances that were made back when Ukraine agreed to hand over all if it's Nuclear Weapons to Russia?
1
@stirlitz974 No they can't - if they could, don't you think that countries such as Norway and Denmark would have Nuclear Missiles? I'm sorry, but you're so freaking ignorant about this that it hurts!

@stirlitz974 If Russia was interested in showing the truth, they would let independent media from around the world both into Russia and into the region, but they won't - journalists from my country has been kicked out of Russia and been told they can't come back for at least the next ten years, under threats of being arrested and prisoned if they do. Simply for the fact that they refused to call Russias invasion of and war against Ukraine a "special military operation". The only ones of our journalists who has been allowed to go into the occupied parts of the Donbass region has been driven around in a bus by the Russian military and it's been the Russian military who's decided where they could go and who's constantly been monitoring who the journalists talked to. On the Ukrainian side, independent journalists from my country has been allowed to go basically everywhere. In my country, even the public owned media network isn't directly controlled by the government - in my country journalists doesn't get arrested for speaking out against the war, no one does. Not even in USA! But they do in Russia! Here and in USA people are allowed to call it a "special military operation", and run the full Kremlin propaganda BS if they want to, just look at TucKKKer Carlson who is licking the boots of the Oligarch Bratva in Kremlin! Roger Waters isn't "telling the truth the western media doesn't want us to hear", he is stuck in a old cold war paradigm were Soviets version of imperialism were far more subtle and parts of it were far easier to defend from a leftist perspective because they supported some genuine freedom fighters against regimes often propped up by the US and US corporations. But today, Russia has a fascist imperialist regime that invades and attempts to conquer a peaceful sovereign neighboring country. Something not even the US at its worst has done in the last 120 years.

@stirlitz974 You mean the murders on civilians in Bucha by Russian Soldiers that several NGOs has helped uncover?

@Silver_Prussian Why don't you just write a huge sign and put it on your forehead where it says that you have absolutely NO idea about what NATO is, what NATO does, or how NATO functions...? NATO has never been active in Syria! NATO is an Organization where member countries can put forces under shared command. For NATO to be involved in something, all members have to accept that it's happening in NATO regi! A country that is a member of NATO doing something, isn't the same as NATO doing it! Türkiye making bomb-runs in Syria isn't NATO doing anything! USA, UK, etc., going into Iraq, isn't NATO doing anything! (In fact, several NATO countries were opposing the decision to go into Iraq, and this made it impossible to become a NATO mission)! Before you write such laughable ignorant comments, do yourself and everyone else the favor and at least make sure you have a basic understanding, and isn't just parroting some BS you've heard some idiot tell you!!!
1
@Silver_Prussian Exactly as I said, you have absolutely NO understanding of what NATO is, what it does, or how it functions! And I even just explained to you that NATO is an organization that functions on its own. If the Member countries agree, (and every country has the right to veto any major decisions), then it's not NATO doing anything! NATO is a seperate entity! By your logic, if Türkiey and Greece end up in armed conflict with each other, NATO would be at war with NATO! Can't you see how stupid that sounds??? NATO is seperate - members can hand over military units to be controlled by NATO! What individual countries do, has nothing to do with NATO! AND several NATO countries DID oppose the invasion of Iraq - and it didn't happen with a NATO mandate! Also, you do realize that most NATO missions has been mandated by the UN? FFS, even Russia has participated in NATO lead missions, such as the UN mandated international NATO lead KFOR! That was back when we all hoped Russia would turn into a healthy democracy that we could invite into our circle! Back when the NATO Partnership for Peace program looked very promising - and we dreamed of Russia eventually being able of joining hands with us. But then Putin and his Oligarch Bratva in Kremlin decided they wanted something different and started attacking other PfP members, first Georgia in 2008, and then Ukraine in 2014! But bet you didn't know that there has been made a path for Russia to follow to eventually being able to become a full member of NATO! We were so naive and full of hope back then! For a short while it looked like old opponents could become our new friends, and indeed, some of them did! Poland, the Baltic States, even Hungary, etc., and Georgia, Ukraine, etc., were lining up to join us as well - and even Russia!!! But sadly, instead of choosing the same path as the Baltic States et.al., towards more democracy, and working with the rest of Europe, the Russian elite decided they wanted Russia to become a "super-power", they had, (and clearly still have), feverish dreams of a Russian empire exercising hegemony from the Pacific Ocean in the east, to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in the west, and couldn't handle seeing the Russia they once knew becoming a democracy like the countries they had been indoctrinated to despise! The US isn't "in control of NATO"! USA has ONE vote in NATO - so does Iceland, and Türkiye, and Norway, etc... There are many misconceptions about NATO, usually spread by people who are either just as uninformed as you, or people who doesn't care about what is true but only care about the narrative they wanna create....

@Silver_Prussian Also, the incident where Surovikin murdered civilian Russian citizens happened in the summer 1991 - during the failed coup attempt against Mikhail Gorbachev! He was in charge of a tank Platon that ran over civilians that tried to block the road to prevent the coup from happening! He had friends in high places, something that has saved his ass more than once!!!!

@attilamarics4808 Don’t be stup¡d, RuSSia is targeting civilians. There’s been so many attacks hitting pure civilian targets that it’s impossible to claim it’s just "collateral damage"!
