  1. Soldiers from a NATO member country are NOT the same thing as "NATO Soldiers". "NATO Soldiers" suggests a mission commanded by NATO. Individual countries, which are members of NATO, can, and do, engage in various military operations independent of NATO. As such, they are not "NATO soldiers".

  2. Russia is STILL killing hundreds of Ukrainians every day. Most of my family lives in Kharkiv, Ukraine. My youngest son is fighting in the 4th Assault Battalion of the 92nd Assault Brigade of the UAF. My nephew is in the 22nd Motorized Infantry Battalion, "Kharkiv", of the 92nd Assault Brigade. Since June of this year, only 6 of the men in my son's unit of 30 men and officers are still there. The rest have been killed or wounded beyond being able to return. Russia is NOT irrelevant to them.

  3. The switchblade drone looks like an air burst, that would make it more effective. I didn't know they had that capability.

  4. Glad to hear that Poland and Ukraine are resolving this grain issue. Polish farmers should not have to suffer at all with all the support Poland has provided Ukraine.

  5. The President is rushing back from Camp David to the White House? ON NO! There must be a massive natural disaster affecting millions of Americans about to happen!!!!!! Oh. Wait. Never mind.

  6. I'll believe Prigozhin is alive when he makes an appearance in person, and/or the video is date verified. Probably just an old video. The real question is WHO is perpetrating the idea he is alive and WHY?

  10. I have always thought that Zelenskyy would be VERY vulnerable to traitors in his inner circle. Sometimes he gets so close to the front line, he is easily in range of artillery or rockets. One set of loose lips and he is a goner.

  11. The Polish military has become arguably the BEST military in Europe, at least in ground/air forces. I think Ukraine will be perhaps the strongest after they win the war. NO! To Russia getting ANYTHING from this war. Better idea...how about NATO provide peacekeeping troops to the un-contested areas of Ukraine, air defense for undisputed areas and protection of commercial shipping in the Black Sea. Let Ukraine concentrate their forces where they are needed.

  12. Weapons, ammunition, trucks, APCs, uniforms, guns, helmets, food...and all that other stuff already in short supply.

  15. If Ukraine is releasing photos of their reconnaissance around the Kerch bridge, I hope it is part of their plan. Otherwise it is a huge security breach.

  16. The ONLY importance of Bakhmut is that the enemy was willing to feed their resources inot it like a black hole. When your enemy is being stupid...help them! As long as Russia keeps going after Bakhmut and as long as they lose soldiers and equipment 8 to 10:1, Ukraine is wise to continue allowing them to be stupid. Russia will WISH they had those troops and equipment back in a few weeks.

  19. "By early fall." Well, "fall" begins September 22. Even as late as Halloween can be considered "early fall". As an American, I am very disappointed with much of our response to this blatant aggression by Russia. These weapons were MADE to use against Russia. I wish the US/NATO had decided to send thousands of troops and equipment to Ukraine "for exercises" when Russia was building up their forces "for exercises" before the war.
    10
  20. I think Ukraine is going for "trading stock". Ukraine has no interest in expanding their territory. They just want to strengthen their negotiating position. Good plan.

  22. I hope your stream tonight will show the clip of the drone dropping grenades on Russian troops attempting to flee the drone in a car. The drone had dropped a grenade near three Russian soldiers walking on a road/driveway in a village, they ran toward a car to escape. One of the troops appeared wounded, he was limping and stopped to look at his leg. After fighting with each other like the "Three Stooges" to get into the car, the drone dropped another grenade, this one landing exactly on the car's sunroof! At the explosion the doors popped open, but no one came out. The car was circling backwards out of control, until it hit a concrete fence/wall. Then the badly wounded Russian soldiers crawl out. It appears at least two are still alive but may not be for long. Search YouTube for : "A drone of Ukrainian 92nd Mechanized Brigade dropping grenades on Russian soldiers in Kharkiv Oblast" On the "World News" Channel.

  32. FYI...during the Vietnam war, the USA also deferred criminal punishment if convicted, non-violent, felons would enlist in the military for a minimum of 2 years, and if they were honorably discharged, their criminal record would be expunged. An acquaintance of mine, a classmate (I hesitate to call him a "friend") was convicted of car theft in 1969 (the year we graduated from high school). It was his third offense for car theft and he was offered 5 years in prison or 2 years in the military. He joined the Marines. After about 8 months of training, he was sent to Vietnam in 1970 for 1 year. After his 2 years were up, he re-enlisted and his criminal record was expunged. The last I heard, he had decided to make the Marines his career. Russia is not the only country that has used convicted criminals in war time...the USA has also done it.

  37. If the Russians destroyed 60,000 tons of grain and an M1 Abrams weighs 60 tons...it is equivalent to 1000 Abrams tanks, not 600 Abrams tanks. Math is hard.😜 I am very disappointed to see Turkey renege. I am not surprised at Russia though. This is not the first time they used food as a weapon. They don't care if a few million people starve. They've done it before.

  44. Countries should send troops to occupy un-contested regions of Ukraine, to free up Ukrainian troops for combat.

  45. The UNITED STATES should re-flag all those grain ships with UNITED STATES flags and provide escorts from the UNITED STATES Navy air and surface forces, the way we did in the 1980s with oil tankers during the Iran/Iraq war. If we could do it for oil, we can do it for grain!!!!! And if Turkey wants to help, that would be great! Then tell Russia 🖕. Try it, B*TCHES!!!!!!!!!!

  63. The question about the blockade of grain falls largely on the insurance companies that insure the ships. Will THEY accept this route along the coast? Will they provide coverage? What will it cost? We will see.

  65. We need to stop worrying about what Russia will use as an excuse to claim the west is involved. THEY WILL DO IT ANYWAY!!!!!!!!! Let's stop trying to please people who do not WANT to be pleased. Ukraine should get every weapon they need to WIN THIS WAR and attack every legitimate military target whether it is in occupied Ukraine OR Russia. If Russia couldn't capture Kyiv when their forces were the strongest, and the Ukrainians were the weakest...it will NEVER happen.

  66. Those M113s still have a lot of life in them! You can tell where Russians have been by the TRASH.

  67. The best way to make Russia to pay reparations for the war is for the western allies to impose TARIFFS on any products going into Russia, and earmark the money for Ukrainian rebuilding efforts. Any country that does business with Russia without imposing tariffs should have those tariffs applied to THEIR imports.
    2
  68. What happened to the attacks on Russian oil refineries? Who told Ukraine to stop those attacks in a Presidential election year? 🤔 Supply depots and ferries are fine to destroy, but refineries are the SOURCE of the oil and Russia's hard currency income which they use to fund the war. Attacks on refineries also affect world oil prices...attacks on depots and ferries don't. Who would benefit from reduced pressure on oil/gasoline prices right now?🤔

  69. Putin blames it on Ukraine? Who'da thunk it?!?!?

  71. Why doesn't NATO provide peacekeeping forces to undisputed regions of Ukraine? Why didn't they when Russia was building up on the Ukraine border?

  72. After the victory, I think Ukraine may be a major player in the weapons industry, as well as a member of NATO. Those would be good jobs for Ukrainians.

  74. Put US flags on every cargo ship going to/from Ukraine. We did this during the Iran/Iraq war and it STOPPED the nonsense tout suite! Lukashenko could improve relations between Belarus and Poland by resigning.

  75. 10:31 Do you not know Ukraine has been doing the same thing for over a year? Do you not know that Ukraine is conscripting men right off the street? Do you not know Ukraine is conscripting men in their 50s? With diabetes? Alcoholics? With arthritis? My son is fighting in the 92nd Brigade. Of the 30 men in his unit, all but 4-5 of them would be rejected by the US or any NATO military force as unsuitable. Three of the men currently in his unit are counting days until their SIXTIETH (60th) birthday! Then they are eligible for discharge! 60! And, of course, they have the physical ailments and restrictions of someone in their late 50s. These conscripts have approx. 35 days training from the day they are taken off the street until the arrive at the front line. Less than half of those will be able to fight in another 35 days...the rest being severely wounded or killed. 35 days! About 1/3 of what the US has for basic training! But some people still support the "Dribble aid to Ukraine until all Ukrainians are killed" policy. 31 Abrams tanks. 10 F-16s. Obsolete military vehicles, on their 2nd hand-me-down recycle. Restrictions on the use of weapons. Inadequate helmets and body armor. (Ukrainians have to upgrade at their own expense) NO western military force would fight a war under such circumstances. Either give Ukraine WHAT THEY NEED TO WIN, or negotiate an end to this carnage. Ukraine is already a country of widows. I do not want my grandson and youngest nephew fighting the Russians also.

  77.  @Lord_Samael_de_Monasteriis  They aren't NATO troops. They belong to a country. The action is not planned or controlled by NATO. NATO is a separate entity.

  78.  @Relayer6a  It has -0- affect on article 5. UNLESS an attack is made on the NATO country the troops are from. If the country puts its soldiers in harm's way in Ukraine and they come under attack in Ukraine, it has nothing to do with NATO or article 5.

  90. By the time Ukraine WINS, they will be the best equipped and best trained military force in Europe. It would be STUPID not to welcome them into NATO. We already know Russia won't be appeased by saying they won't be allowed into NATO. So...🖕Russia!

  91. I wish 50,000 NATO troops, plus tanks, plus aircraft had been sent INTO Ukraine for " combined arms exercises and training" just as Russia was "conducting exercises" before the invasion. We learned this lesson in 1938...and STILL let this happen! NOW, we need to get Ukraine the weapons they need to WIN, not just the weapons they need to defend until the last Ukrainian is killed. The US (or any other NATO country) would NEVER attempt any sort of offensive without overwhelming air superiority. There IS a reason for that. ALLOW retired and former F-16 pilots and ground crew to operate the planes FOR Ukraine RIGHT NOW, as independent volunteers, until the Ukrainians are trained up!

One could say they didn't "win" their battle, but their defense and delay served the greater purpose that will lead to victory. Hopefully, they will return to Ukraine and their families soon. Every war has it's tragic heroes. The Alamo, the Bataan Death March, the British soldiers who were sacrificed to make the miracle of Dunkerque possible, Azovstal... they are all heroes. Slava Ukraini!!!!!!!!!! 🟦🟨

  98. Seems like the US funding for Ukraine will be handled as a separate bill, and that would be preferable. The majority of BOTH parties support Ukraine. It will easily pass in both chambers. Mixing it in with a general funding bill just allows for shenanigans. Put it in a separate bill and give it a straight up or down vote. Ukraine WILL get their funding despite a few Putin SHILLS. We, the USA, and/or NATO should have had substantial training going on in Ukraine the moment Russia started their buildup. This war would never have happened. I am glad to see the British stepping up. I hope other NATO countries and the USA follow on. I am disappointed that the USA is not the LEADER in this move.

  99. The fact that ANY NATO country has not entirely closed their borders to Russia AND Belarus is shocking! They are allowing a door into their country for Russian spies and subversives. Do they want to start having fires everywhere like Russia is experiencing?!?!?

  100.  @opus3989  Buyers are not the problem. Getting it to the buyers is the issue. A lot of shipping companies will not traverse the Black Sea currently because their insurance companies will not cover them to do so. Even if there is a route using coastal, territorial waters (which increases the length of the journey and the fuel expended by the ships) many insurance companies will not take that risk. Absent a Black Sea route, the only choice to deliver grain to the buyers is overland THROUGH one of the neighboring, friendly, countries. Poland, Slovakia, Romania. All three of those countries have substantial agriculture industries of their own. Ukrainian grain is cheaper because of economies of scale, lower wages paid in Ukraine than in EU countries, lower costs of fertilizer, and the very rich and productive soil of Ukraine. Ukrainian grain is usually purchased by developing countries with less $$$ to spend and the cheaper grain is no threat to the EU agriculture economy. SOME of this cheaper grain, which was intended only to pass thru Poland, Slovakia and Romania was, allegedly, being sold in those countries. Probably by unscrupulous sellers to unscrupulous buyers. Those countries are obligated to protect their own economies. I don't blame them. I don't know the details of the agreements they are working on. I understand it is some sort of "licensing" agreement. This may involve selling the grain to Poland, Slovakia and Romania (Hungary jumped in also for no particular reason other than they are Hungary) and then those countries handling the sale of the grain themselves...they will make sure it is not sold at bargain prices in their own country. I'll wait to see the final result, but I am glad they seem to have worked it out.

  101. This is a false flag event. Putin has attacked and killed his own people in order that he may declare war on Ukraine and institute a full mobilization. This will be blamed on "Ukrainian Nazis" and used as an excuse for full mobilization. Ask Chechnya how that works. This was entirely predictable as soon as Putin was "reelected"...yet NOW the USA is trying to restrict Ukraine. All because Biden REFUSES open our OWN oil/gas industry

  105. Oil depots don't produce oil. Oil refineries do. Why attack the storehouse and not the factory? What's going on? Who is telling Ukraine NOT to attack oil refineries? And NO, they have not already destroyed all of them. Oil refinery attacks reduce not only Russia's oil supply, but their ability to SELL oil and make $$$ to pay for the war. Is it a coincidence that it's an election year and someone doesn't want upward pressure on oil prices...at the expense of Ukrainian lives? 🤔

  109.  @carlomottola3213  You don't live in Kharkiv. Or Ukraine. Your assessment of Russia is worthless and uninformed. Just a few weeks ago, the air raid sirens in Kharkiv sounded for 37 hours straight. Because Russia was 'projecting power beyond it's borders' into the city. The present policies of the USA/NATO/West will assure Ukraine can play defense until all Ukrainians are killed. By 'irrelevant' Russians.

  110. The only ones flip-flopping more than Putin are Western Countries. From Euromaidan: "The UK clarifies its policy on Storm Shadow missiles, denying permission for its use inside Russia.

  115. I think even more ominous for the Russians...this would now make the 3rd attack, of three that we know of, on the bridge that they could not prevent. Their "defense" of the bridge appears to be imaginary. The smoke screen can only be useful to cover the damage to Russian citizens. At least until the satellite photos are released. Unless they expect the Ukrainians to make massive bomb raids with B-17s and Lancasters equipped with Norden bomb sights. .

We were all amazed in Desert Storm when multi million $$$ could be flown through a door or window to kill the occupants inside. Now they're doing it with drones you can order on Amazon! It could be a whole new nightmare for the Secret Service and other high level security agencies.

  124. The fact that there is no identifiable location or date of this Gerasimov "appearance" is highly suspect. If Russia were really trying to dispel the rumors, they would have had identifiable places or something indicating the approx. date he was handing out medals. The soldiers and Gerasimov are not wearing heavy winter clothing, which they wouldn't necessarily have to indoors, but how long were they in there to get medals? The Russian public will probably eat it up with spoons...but I don't believe this is current video. I call bullsh*t.

  126.  @zachg427  Feel free to read my comment. Read carefully, interpret literally. View my comment in the context of responding to the original post... NOTHING in my comment referred to "other countries", meanwhile Biden allows illegal aliens to pour into OUR country. The PROBLEM is Biden's refusal to protect OUR country, not "other countries". That said, this same video also refers to the fact that one of the most effective Ukrainian Brigades was BANNED by Biden from using US supplied weapons. 🤦🏼‍♂ As for "other countries", TALK is cheap. When Biden CAN actually talk. Most of the time OUR enemies laugh at us and prepare to invade our friends, while he mumbles like a toddler. Biden is sprinkling out weapons to assure the Ukrainians don't win, but can "defend" until the last Ukrainian is killed. Biden is the worst thing to ever happen to Ukraine...or the USA.

  129. "Russia is raising taxes to pay for the war" That's your headline. Russian people won't like it and Putin will lose support for the war because of it. No need to make claims about any other countries, including the US. There really is no reason to risk your credibility by saying things that are completely irrelevant to the topic. The US implemented an income tax (which didn't exist at the time) during the civil war. The tax was rescinded after the war. Our current income tax was implemented in 1913 and tax brackets were raised during WW1, though they may not have been directly attributed to the war, per se. Taxes were raised during the Vietnam war, and it was attributed to the war. The wage/price freeze of 1971 was directly attributed to inflation caused by the costs of the Vietnam war...though it wasn't so stated. It is extremely unpalatable for politicians to attribute a tax increase to a war. Politically STUPID, actually. But to assume that means the US "has never raised taxes due to a war" is simply naïve. That politicians SAY it is for some other reason, doesn't make it so.

  133. 0:14 Sounds like opening morning of deer season in northern Wisconsin. It must be very demoralizing for Russians to see their tanks and vehicles suddenly explode and burst into flame without warning. The Javelins have such a range that the targets do not even know the Ukrainians are in the area.

  134. Let me guess what Romania/Latvia/NATO will do about it. 🤔

  136. Maybe the United States should jump in and help Ukraine with its infrastructure rebuilding after the war. It would be a huge opportunity for US companies, and would help provide excellent paying, good jobs for Ukrainians. But...we won't. We will stand by and watch as China brings Ukraine into its influence, and then gripe about it. You may be correct, but absent an alternative from the west...what do you expect Ukraine to do?

  142.  @mw9297  That doesn't make Ukrainian troops NATO troops, does it? Individual countries who are members of NATO can take military action on their own, or with other NATO members (or non-members) and it has nothing to do with NATO. The 1991 Gulf war, for example, was NOT a NATO operation even though it utilized troops from many NATO countries.

  143.  @Souscheff  Putin is stupid. Or, at minimum, self aggrandizing. Do you go by what Putin says? Or do you do by facts?

  147.  @Lord_Samael_de_Monasteriis  That isn't what I was referring to. You're making more assumptions, and they are wrong.

  148. They say that explosion was equal to 30 kilotons of TNT. That is DOUBLE the yield of the Hiroshima bomb. 50% more than the Nagasaki bomb. 😱

  149. Lloyd Austin: "But I didn't define what 'lose' means" DO NOT believe anything which comes from the Biden Administration. Russia only invaded Ukraine and have continued in Ukraine BECAUSE Biden is weak.

  150. I should check and see if I have any ATACMS laying around the garage. 🤷‍♂

  151. OR shot down by partisans with a Stinger missile OR dropped off radar flying at tree top level to a pre-arranged meeting with Ukrainian officials and a $1 million reward that would actually be paid 🤷‍♂

  152. Kamaz factory fire? 🤷‍♂ Coincidence. North Korea hasn't been in an active war for over 70 years. Those generals are weighted down with medals. For what? More likely the weapons shown in North Korea are inoperable decoys. They were dummied up to show the public how "clever" they are, when what they are actually concealing is the fact that North Korea has very little in the way of real weapons.

  153. I wake up every day hoping you will bring me the news that Putin is dead. Kadyrov is a consolation prize.

  155. Turkey returned the Azov battalion commanders who were being interned in Turkey. I am sure Putin is FURIOUS about that. Thank you to Turkey for being a LEADER. It's time for everyone say 🖕Russia!!!!!

  156. Spoiler alert: There will be no NATO response. They will have meetings, but nothing but 'blah, blah, blah' will come out of it. Who do you imagine in NATO, which country, has the balls to send troops to Ukraine? 🤔 NATO countries cannot even be bothered to provide the aid they have already committed to Ukraine. The current NATO/US policy of "Give Ukraine ONLY enough aid to defend until all Ukrainians are killed" will continue. Ukraine is an 'issue' for politicians. NO ONE is offering anything to Ukraine which they could use to WIN.
