Comments by "duncan smith" (@duncansmith7562) on "Ukraine War: What do we know about Russia's latest attacks?" video.

the "expert" forgot to repeat that the Wagner convicts and mercenaries in Soledar are low on morale, poorly equipped, poorly led and that NATO's superior training and weapons of the Ukrainian forces will win the day.

@omarionbayley9721 Russia has reliable allies in this conflict. Ukraine doesn't.

@TheTomexification assuming the priority was to take the village over feeding as many Ukrainian teenage recruits into the Wagner meatgrinder as possible. in the end, three birds with one stone, Soledar taken, thousands of Ukronazis shredded, and the convicts doing much of the heavy work. Mission accomplished.

it's "expert" analysis like this twaddle that tells me Russia is winning.

@nicke0b so how did Russia pick up the pace after autumn?

@jeffreybresnahan great point. i often use Fallujah as an example of how no matter what your numbers are, nor your competency, capturing and occupying a town, house by house, is a damn dirty, complicated and time consuming project.

@dyggas less missiles compared to whom, or when?

@stevenmartin8828 we're not talking facts. we're talking impressions. there is no way to scientifically measure "reliability of allies". but my impression is that Iran and N Korea in particular are 100% behind Russia. Ukraine's allies SAY they are 100% behind Ukraine, but they are not. otherwise they would deliver 100% what Ukraine keeps begging for.

@Katoshi_Takagumi i have a feeling that between them, Russia, Iran and North Korea can, plus help from China maybe. Definitely NATO can't.

@toma9976 GDP is irrelevant. only fools look at GDP and think it has a bearing. the sanctioned nations are LOVING their revenge on the West! Yep, they will reliably do all they can to help Russia. Ukraine's "allies", however, are ready to jump ship, fed up of this losing effort.

@noobian458 or using the biggest stockpile they have on hand. we wouldn't know. could well be Russia is holding back on a load of stuff for when NATO jumps in and chooses to have hundreds of body bags flown back to DC and London.

@Abulb99 maybe because not so many attacks needed to keep Ukraine in the dark and miserable.

@Dweller415 maybe so. what's your point?

@YossiCohen10421 apparently Russia was importing washing machines from the UAE by the hundreds just to get those chips, until the UAE said that they were happy just to sell the chips if that was a better idea.

@user-mf9wg6jq5f deeper pockets don't make the drones Russia is using and deeper pockets can't stop the drones Russia is using. Deeper pockets can't protect Ukraine from ballistic missiles. Deeper pockets can't prevent N Korea working 24/7 to provide Russia with all it needs. Deeper pockets can't sway the 49% of Germans that now say they do NOT want tanks sent to Ukraine. Deeper pockets may, for the time being, keep Ukraine from collapsing. But the taxpayers of these deeper pockets have been told that Ukraine will win, will take back Crimea, and to suddenly be told "stop, the aim is no longer Crimea, the aim is now just to prevent a collapse of Ukraine", hmmm. not sure that will fly.

@nicke0b surprising that these spies never reported to Western media, back in March, that no way Russia gonna run out of missiles! or, if these spies did report that, funny the media decided that info was fake news.

@yorkiemike China has already got involved. China has told the West it will NOT isolate Russia, but on the contrary, it will increase trade and cooperation with Russia. It would certainly be tempting for China to trade missiles for Russian oil, especially if Nancy Pelosi decides to push China closer to Russia with another visit to Taiwan. we'll see.

@stonem0013 that's right! because NATO, despite all its apparent wealth, has neglected to build up its armaments, and the manufacture of such armaments takes time, planning and a complete shift in spending priorities, which, no matter how deep your pockets, is an unsurmountable obstacle. The rich boys messed up!

@lochnessmonster5149 The necessity to hit key targets in Ukraine has dropped exponentially each month.

a two week hiatus from firing missiles = Russia running out of missiles firing old missiles = Russia running out of missiles firing new missiles = Russia running out of missiles firing a variety of missiles = Russia running out of missiles repeating that Russia is running out of missiles in March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December and now January = Russia running out of missiles the only thing that doesn't = Russia running out of missiles is the bloody obvious reality that Russia keeps firing loads and loads of missiles.
