  1.  @supertuscans9512  You're just making stuff up on behalf of the EU. Britain couldn't get access to the single market when it left the EU, and it was already 100% fully integrated into the sytem. If they couldn't, how on earth could Ukraine? There isn't a way of a non-member accessing the single market, however much you'd like there to be.

  2. The same almighty god which allowed the war to start in the first place, you mean?

  3.  @nummynummy3705  Ah, right...the dummy in the room. Which bit of "proportionate" did you find confusing? Which bit of "per GDP" was too complicated for you?. What was your difficulty with "per capita"?

  4. I don't think your imaginary friends are much use. After all, they let this war start in the first place, and have allowed tens of thousands of people die as a result.

  5. "navel" is the mark left by your umbilical cord in the middle of your abdomen. Naval is the word you wanted.

  6. Nobody is ASKING them to leave. They'll soon be TOLD. They won't have a chance to argue. Oh, and America aquired Alaska legally. They didn't steal it.

  7. Wow, there's a great idea! Why has no-one thought of doing that? Genius!! Sheesh.......

  8. Because it is entirely surrounded by a sea of mud, and because heading that way would put the Ukrainians into a salient (pocket), vulnerable to attack from 3 sides. First things first..... Firstly, wait for the ground to freeze so that vehicles can move without getting bogged.

  10.  @londonspade5896  No, I'm neurotypical. I also received a decent education, and happen to think that spelling matters.

  11. That's not strictly the case. Autumn (now) doesn't have good weather for military action. It is wet, and everything turns to mud, bogging down vehicles and making all movements slow. Winter-proper, though, is very cold, and the ground freezes solid for months. Movement is much easier then.

  12.  @NoMouthNoScream  Not sure why you are telling me that. I know that very well indeed, and am very happy that your territory has been returned.

  13.  @angrydoggy9170  No need to starve them of food. Just starve them of military re-supply. When they've fired their last bullet their attitude will change.

  14.  @drama772  Soy boy? I have no idea what on earth you are whittering on about. For a start, half-wit, I'm over 60. As for supporting neither side.......righto, troll........whatever you say. We all believe you.

  15. Ukraine made it to Mylove yesterday (4th Oct). So that's a lot further SW compared with the lines on this map.

  16.  @michaelpound9608  There isn't really a ceiling. The rafters of the hammerbeam structure are covered by plain sarking boards. Also, there isn't really very much actual carving, because the wooden shapes are either mouldings or pierced tracery. Sorry to sound pedantic, but these are significant differences.

  17.  @ravenmoon5111  Some? No, lots..... My point was the claim that US is doing all the training is ridiculous and self-centred. And this is NOT a Nato mission. Many Nato members are involved, but so are lots of countries which aren't Nato members.

  18.  @harryhewitt6795  You're talking to a grown up here. I don't do childish nicknames. If you thought you were being funny or clever by making a play on Macron's name, then you aimed your comment at the wrong person. I do congratulate you, though, on the use of "perfidy".

  19.  @Fackeldackel  I completely agree. Germany was very late to the table, but has done exceptionally well lately. Nonetheless, the point stands.....if everyone else in Europe had given proportionately the same as Estonia, then Russia's effort would have collapsed already.

  20. Yep. Their supply lines are utterly disrupted, and their manufacturing has been reduced because of sanctions.

  21.  @SigmundJaehn  At the moment, I would assume that EVERYTHING is re-direction.

  22. Yeah, I'd have given that a thumbs up, but your spelling.........

  23.  @verysaltysnack4626  Account started at the beginning of the Russian invasion. So, bot/ troll account probably based in St Petersburg.

  24. What is the point of putting those pixelated images on our screen? If you can't show the video, don't show it. Covering the screen with huge pixels is somewhere between pointless and very annoying.

  25. I think Melitopol is a more likely target.

  26. They've been stopping them for over 3 months. Russia is further back in Bakhmut now than it was a month ago. As with so much of this war, Ukraine lets Russia exhaust itself, and then will nip in with a big counterattack at a time of its choosing. Collapsing the Russian lines around Kreminna and getting in behind Sievierodonetsk, for instance, would mean The Russians attacking Bakhmut and the rest of the front lines in Donetsk would risk being attacked from the rear. The situation would be transformed, and without ever trying a frontal assault on the concentrations of troops around Bakhmut etc.

  29.  @Smithsj82  Putin had every chance of success, when he had the element of surprise on his side. Once he didn't decapitate the government within a week, he was never going to win. He's too stupid to know that his invasion was a gamble, and he's too stupid to know that he has already lost. His supposed astuteness was always a myth.

  30. Stupid trolling. Now piss off.

  31.  @jcruzgarciajimenez4584  Your English, like all trolls, is appalling. Artem lives in Canada. Why would he enlist?

  32.  @rsmith6506  I said "in Ukraine", where the Ukrainians have 800,000 men under arms and Russia around 300,000. And no, Ukraine hasn't lost nearly their entire military. You've either trolling, or just spouting Russian propoganda. It's easy to see past your silly claim, because Ukraine is holding or pushing Russia back everywhere, and if it didn't have a military, that would be quite some feat, wouldn't it.

  33.  @CosmicBrain21  But not Ukrainian ones. Russian tanks, with Russians at the controls.....that's how it normally ends in Russia.

  34. I don't think there will be a rush for Luhansk and Donestsk. These are massive cities which will be extremely well defended. Just take the ground around them and isolate them, as Ukraine has been doing throughout the counteroffensive.

  35.  @scottdavis421 What a beautifully thought out and well explained rebuttal. Congratulations. You must be proud of your work.

  36. Yes, yes, and no.

  37. It's not in Crimea. Do try and pay attention.

  38.  @simondesmond3574  Yep.....as always, god is whatever you want it to be. As an invention of the human imagination, one man's god is another man's devil.

  39. The majority language in the USA is Spanish (yes, it is!). Spain hasn't announced any plans to annexe the USA, nor have USAians agitated for Spain to come to their aid, as far as I am aware. More to the point as far as Musk is concerned, Afrikaans is the majority language in South Africa. It is known as pigeon Dutch. I don't think that The Netherlands has any plans to annexe South Africa, but if that's what Elon wants, then maybe he should hold a twitter vote on the matter..........and learn something from the result.

  40.  @Sinvx  No, it's not. That's the second line. The first line of defence is at the front lines......otherwise the front lines wouldn't be where they are (were).
    3
  41.  @Sinvx  No, no, I very much do. If there were no defences at the front line, it wouldn't be the front line, would it. Now, toddle on back to kindergarten, and pay a little more attention from now on.

  42. Level up those pictures on your wall!!! They drive me nuts, being out of line. Anyway, keep up the good work, and have a great 2023.

  43.  @pyropaul2987  I agree with almost all of that. However, I don't let trolls go unchallenged. There are bound to be youngsters in Russia who have no idea what to think about the war, and if they see the nonsense that the Russian troll factories churn out go unchallenged, they might actually start to think that they (the trolls) might be right. If people tell them they're wrong, it might just save a young russian from ending up in the meat grinder on the front line.

  44. I sympathise.....but I have never ever heard the expression. Don't forget you are getting your English-Spanish from a Russian, so there is likely to be the odd quirk here and there.

  45.  @44johnburton  Disappointed, troll?

  46. Love your channel, but please sort out those pictures on the wall behind you! The one that is out of line with the others drives me nuts.

  47. Whereas you deserve contempt for supporting an illegal invasion which has cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

  48.  @harryhewitt6795  You do indeed have that right, but the outcome isn't necessarily the one you predict. It isn't Macron who is defined by your your use of nicknames: it is you.

  49. Well yes, except it's not entirely a feint. They're trying very hard to retake Kherson.

  50. You're not following along very closely, are you. Klishiivka has been another useful killing ground, with Russia constantly sending more reinforcements, and Ukraine just sitting in the hills above the place killing them at will. The Russians have pulled out, but the Ukrainians have to de-mine it before claiming it as re-taken ground. You're either trolling, or you simply follow the Russian mentality of valuing towns and villages above much more important things like high ground.
