  1. Russian losses for2025 are the lowest in the entire war

  2.  @tiagodagostini  I suggest you do your homework. Russia biggest gas exporter in the world second biggest oil exporter . Without those two things the global economy would collapse including Americas America produces more steel than Russia but China produces 12 times more steel than America . You are basing your view on a few products . There are many more being produced and exported . Russia export of fertiliser doubles that of America . Timber . No fertiliser no food . American grain GMO Russian grain organic a huge difference in quality . Russia biggest exporter of nuclear fuel by a massive margin. American reactors are totally dependent on Russian imports of nuclear fuel . Want a war with Russia ? It will be a very cold one for America Can you see the difference of importance with what Russia produces and exports and what America does . Americas main export is war . It’s a sick society America is the world’s biggest importer. Meaning it has shortages of virtually everything and not enough manufacturing . America is mainly a consumer society And debt that far outweighs its GDP. Russia is not in a war economy either America relies on Russian nuclear fuel and before the war Russian rocket engines for its nasa missions You want to check Russian weapons and ammunition manufacturing . America 500,000 artillery shells in 2023 . Russia 20 million Want a war ? Dont even think about it Just a few examples why America is a collapsing super power and Russia a growing one

  3. I’ve been watching you for the entire war . A go too source . I just noticed I have not subscribed . Now I have . You have gone from 2000 subscribers needed for 100,000 to 1999

  4.  @tiagodagostini  I am going on reality . Russia too can increase its production of commodities depending on demand . And Americas energy comes from fracking .Hugely expensive ,not profitable held up by government subsidies . If you were European or Asian would you prefer to buy Russian gas and oil cheaply , with Russia next door and dependable . Or buy American gas and oil at great expense and thousands of miles away ? Russia will win any energy war easily America has no hope in a war with Russia . Any war in Europe will be a land war on Russias doorstep . And Russia has the biggest and best land army in the world , regardless of what CNN says America doesn’t have manufacturing capacity to sustain a high intensity war for more than a few months , if that . Then to get its men and equipment over the Atlantic with Russian surface ships and subs armed with long range hypersonic missiles prowling the seas would be very problematic The American woke army only 460,000 strong with one million reserves compared to 1.5 million battle hardened Russian troops and two million reserves with the capability to fully mobilise 25 million more . And it’s not even worth considering You would have to introduce conscription on a massive scale . How do you think millions of obese medicated , gender confused Americans would cope with the American mainland being hit with thousands of Russian missiles in the first 24 hours of a conflict ? Not very well is my view . So American is incapable of going to war successfully so forget that fantasy Why would they go to war anyway . Ukraine is of no strategic importance to America but it is to Russia . Russia will fight to death for it

  6. A great report . Congratulations

  7. They never tried to capture Kiev . They surrounded the city with only 40,000 troops . About 200,000 short of what is needed to capture a city that big
    4
  8. Ukraine has a never ending supply of troops everywhere
    3
  9.  @AnmolX-jw8jr They didn’t lose at the beginning . They took swathes of territory in Lugansk , Kherson , Kharkov etc . The war is not about taking territory anyway
    3
  10.  @kevenwhite2885 if Russia really wanted to take Kiev they would have deployed the right number of troops to achieve that . 40,000 is nowhere near enough How do you know the reason for the military operation ?
    3
  11.  @kevenwhite2885 It’s very sad for Ukraine . They are losing lives and their country. And for what ?
    3
  12.  @trazyntheinfinite9895 If Russia didn’t act there country would have been destabilised and destroyed . It is Ukraine that has been destroyed
    3
  13.  @TDR4Series  But in Russia things are much cheaper than Germany . There are no energy shortages in Russia . Plenty of food. , no homeless , no debt . Germany is dying . And has now been replaced but Russia as worlds fourth biggest economy by the world bank and the IMF
    3
  14.  @TDR4Series  95% home ownership in Russia . It’s 62% in America and usually with huge Mortgages .
    3
  15.  @LeoTheLion66 Nato is fragmenting has weapons shortages has lost its number one proxy army . They have gained Sweden and Finland both tiny powers . That does not compensate for the loss of Ukraine . According to US military sources Russia is much stronger now than before the war
    3
  16.  @LeoTheLion66  Russian regular army is now 1.3 million growing to 2.4 million . Much more than before the war The combined armies of Sweden and Finland are less than 100,000 At its peak Ukraine army was 650,000 .

  17.  @Chris-yg6lo There are limits to nato equipment
    3
  18. Russia seems short of troops again . I thought they had 600,000 reserves ..? We are being sold a lot of BS about their overall strength

  19. A mask won’t block a virus Wyatt. You are using Ukrainian tactics . You are operationally encircled
    2
  20. All those advances by Russia and map looks the same
    2
  21.  @kevenwhite2885 The ratio of troops needed to take a city is 4 to 1. There was 60,000 Ukrainian troops defending Kiev . So Russia would have needed 240,000 troops to take it . 40,000 is nowhere near enough . The main clue that Russia had no plans to take the city . They then left the area as part of the Istanbul agreement. There was no major battle The column of Russian vehicles was to pressure Ukraine to negotiate . They did just that with the Istanbul agreement. The column was then deployed to the Donbass

  22. The war is escalating to nuclear war . And still Putin plods along
    2
  23. I notice the better Russia does on the battlefield the worse western propaganda gets . Lies coming thick and fast eg the Russian economy and the Ruble are crashing , Russian losses at the highest since the war started , North Korean troops sent to Kursk “ to rescue Russian troops “. But lies don’t change anything in the real world
    2
  24.  @TDR4Series  Give me the confirmed statistics not your personal opinion . Russia is one of the biggest producers of gas , oil , grain and fertiliser . It is hardly likely the Russian people are hungry and cold. It is obvious you have never been to Russia . Many Americans now live there . America is badly broken so are most western countries
    2
  25.  @tiagodagostini  America gave Britain three times the amount of Lendlease they gave Russia . Russia would have still won without it but it would have taken longer
    2
  26. . Russia has 600,000 well equipped reserves . Where are they ?

  27. Do you think drones make aircraft obsolete ?

  28. Putin said that the SMO is slow to save Russian casualties. But with the escalations over the last 2+ years leading to possibilities of a major war between Russia and nato which would lead to massive losses . Is his logic missing Surely if the war had lasted three months instead of over two years less people would have died ..? Putin is a great peacetime leader . As far as a war leader goes the jury is still out

  29. How far is the river from the front lines

  30.  @Andrew-q2w4f fuel price in Russia 57 Rubles a litre . Before the war 53rubles a litre . Not much difference If Russia had no oil refineries working the price fuel would be three times higher . So production of refined oil as normal

  31. How can the Ukrainians get supplies ammunition through etc . Shouldn’t all roads be sealed by now?

  32. One day you have 40,000 subscribers and today you have over 70,000. What’s happening ..? If I was rich I would Chuck you 50,000 dollars . Unfortunately for both of us I am as poor as a church mouse

  33. The Russians are smashing it

  34. Can you show the front line from a dneiper river perspective?

  35. I think there are a lot of nato troops within Ukrainian forces .

  36. Your immune system has been encircled by the virus . You need some long range antibiotics and some glide bombs of vitamin C

  37.  @kevenwhite2885 I’m not mad just flabbergasted that you have an opinion on military matters but don’t know the first thing about military doctrine . The 4 to 1 ratio of troops needed to take a city is widely accepted by every military on the planet including Russia If Russiawanted to take Kiev they would have showed up with the appropriate number of troops needed for the mission . Around 240,000 considering the number of Ukraine troops defending the city ( 60,000 ) . There was no major battle for Kiev . The footage would have been all over the media and social media. And there is none Of course they failed to take the Kiev with 40,000 troops because they never attempted it . For the reasons I have already given based on established Military doctrine

  38. “ Russia lost the war ? “ Ukraine has made no territorial advance in over 18 months . Are running out of men and equipment And are being smashed by missiles and drones daily . Russian forces are advancing across the entire front line . Is that your definition of Ukraine victory . Because the reports here are not your liking doesn’t mean they are propaganda . They just reflect the reality on the ground . Can’t handle it go somewhere else where fairy tales will make you feel better

  40. It’s not free zelenski is illegitimate. His term ran out on May 20 . No election for five years . All opposition parties banned Ukraine gave up its sovereignty when it let Nato into the country Now it will be absorbed into Russia , Hungary and Poland

  41.  @zoomeraygun1 Advances to where ?

  42.  @sensi6457 Belograd ? And then what ?

  43.  @tertiusduplessis2581 it’s a member of BRICS which has the biggest economies on earth . How can Russia be isolated ? BRICS countries need cheap Russian energy to Develop. And Russian military help. BRICS countries are finished with the west which is in a state of collapse

  44.  @MyBigBoss China will never back out . On their own they are weak . Russia and China are unbeatable together

  45.  @keithpalmer4547 33 trillion in debt, opposition political opponents persecuted. , army never won a war since 1945, biggest jail population in world , drugs , gun crime and massacres , 600,0000 homeless, 80 million with no health care . Does that look like a superpower ?
    1
  46.  @tiagodagostini Russian economy now ahead of Germany . Fourth biggest in the world . Russia Biggest land army and nuclear forces in the world The biggest commodities exporter in the world. Almost zero debt Population size doesn’t matter . America has a population 20% smaller than China . 50% smaller than Africa . GDP means nothing . Russian gdp based on production . America produces nothing compared to Russia . American GDP based on war , financial manipulation , organised crime . In other words American gdp is fresh air

  47.  @TDR4Series  Russias in the top 15 . America is the one not even close

  48. The new missiles given to Ukraine have a range of 500 kms . So the buffer zone will have to be extended

  49. It’s a bad day for Russia actually . They are still short of troops it seems . Ukraine always seems to have plenty of troops total collapse is a long way off .

  50.  @taintedseal  Nato weapons , training , volunteers , Nato satellite intelligence . I would say nato is involved “ a little “
