Comments by "Emir" (@irongron) on "Philip Ingram - Putin is Making Little Headway in his War, but does he Understand he's now Losing?" video.

Colonel Ingram is a great guest, I always like to hear what he has to say, but I take issue with the comparison of "russia" breaking up making the former Yugoslavia look like a "Sunday school picnic", my father's Bosnian side were all ethnically cleansed from their home town of Bosanski Novi 35 years ago almost, and are now all over the world in Canada, the USA & Australia. They can never go back as Bosanski Novi is now in Republika Srpska and renamed "Novi Grad". No "Sunday School picnic" for them. The USSR had 40,000 nukes (yes, 40,000 google it) when it broke up in 1991 without any major wars like in Yugoslavia, so why is the break up of "russia" with a piddling 7,000 nukes a "huge worry" ? The world community dealt with that ok and here in Ukraine we do not consider the breakup of "russia" a huge worry, but a must or they will just keep doing the same 💩 they always do. Like the USSR, "russia" must go! No ifs or buts.

@SiliconCurtain Cheers Jonathon, they have rebuilt their lives since so it's all good in those aforementioned great countries they went to. On another note with the nukes, if you look at a distribution map of where they are located in russia, there are none whatsoever in southern russia, and for good reason. Therefore, there is no chance the Kadyrov clan will ever get their hands on any nukes if russia breaks up! Ditto for say, Azerbaijan getting some to pass on to Iran etc.

@timthetiny7538 He's spot on, the nukes and the fear of a russian breakup are the self-limiting factor, even Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges says the same.

@effexon Thanks, indeed the culture wars you mention seem to be a huge problem & divisive distraction for sure in he countries where we need the most help from. But also good point with the kremlin, one look at how long a small country like North Korea has survived much harsher total sanctions indicates that a country like russia with far more resources will be crippled only so much, but it will continue economically,

@Jimmy-ye3wg That's what everyone was saying about the USSR breaking up, until, it did, - "federation", is a joke, it's an empire, and it is already falling into decrepitude and will break up just like the USSR did.

@Jimmy-ye3wg Sorry jimmy, you're crackin' corn and I don't care! 🤡

@Jimmy-ye3wg So what ? What the people want and what they get are diametrically opposite, thanks to their Tsar and his degenerate war. He doesn't give a 💩about their wants or needs, he just needs them to be cannon fodder in his personal regime survival war. 🤡
