Just imagine being in a foreign country, where pretty much everybody can be a partisan, hence nobody can be trusted - including your own fed up "army", that partially consists of convicts, some drunks, lots of undisciplined soldiers, some more or less forcefully recruited troops from DPR/LPR and elsewhere, some disobedient mercenaries willing to leave if not paid, disinterested street-snatched mobiks (and other shadow-recruited individuals), etc, who're not trained in working together as one "army" at all and often fight with each other instead - and then this unpredictable conglomerate of people is tied down in a scorched earth region for months, surrounded by their decomposing dead; this can only be demoralizing for Russians who're used to having such a big country that most of them don't even know where their borders are, let alone why or what they're fighting for and why they're there in the 1st place.
That lack of purpose and all these months spent in ruins for nothing with no end in sight has to be soul crushing (no matter how good their propaganda is) and at some point every Russian's starting to blame Putin, Shoigu, Gerasimov, Prigozhin, their commanders, their oligarchs and wealthy, etc, way more than the Ukrainian people defending their lives and homes.

I'm super-angry about the assassination of the Azovstal heroes/POW!
Call it my own "negative mindset" saving me from all sorts of earthly disappointments, however admittedly I've never expected the more resilient unwavering brave and/or publicly known Azovstal soldiers would ever make it to a POW exchange ALIVE anyways...
Although this is a complete tabu topic, I always personally struggled with them becoming Russian POW, when there isn't even a war in Russian brains ... oh I mean, of course I mean in Russian official language and legal understanding.
There's likely a huge war going on inside Russian brains, between common sense/logic/etc vs reality, but that's another topic.
Every time I communicate/text with Russians I get this "they are coming from a parallel universe" feeling ... bc it's true!
My Hungarian dad told me, how different history and school education in general were for him - EVERYTHING was invented in Russia (basically they invented life itself) - and EVERYTHING was stolen from them or "sold way to the west"; talk about being the "main race" on this planet and being megalomaniac!
& Btw "sold away" by whom ... Russians themselves?
(I remember texting about this topic with alleged Russians a lot, they always forget to mention, WHO "sold them out", whatever...).
... If this'd be me in that situation and I'm facing the FSB and their well-known sophisticated torture methods, when becoming a Russian POW, I'd certainly safe the last bullet for myself!
We all know there're fates worse than death.

@vitaliy9932
Oh boy, this question will get my comment dęlęted for sure, bc this always happens when I try to post links or recommend channels for some unknown reason ... I mean the Ukrainian pilot Denys* (= his first name), check him out, he always says at the end of his videos for months now:
"I wish you all A PEACEFUL SKY wherever you are!"
* 2nd name Davydov
This'll for sure open your eyes, how cruel Lukashenka's quote truly was, bc the missiles that killed 22+ people in Ukraine on their Independence Day came directly from Belarus.
& Many people including myself theorize, Lukashenka mocked the Ukrainian YouTuber with it, if this isn't a huge unexplainable very strange coincidence I don't really believe in tbh ... everybody was electrified in outrage, after hearing Lukashenka say he wishes Ukraine "a peaceful sky" and a few hours later missiles hit civilians at a railroad station (again). 😭😭😭
Please let me know, if you got this reply and understand it.
You've to put both names in this order into the YouTube search bar.

ALL 3 OF YOU ARE RIGHT, historically "scorched earth" has usually been the defender's choice, but I had only thought about "scorched earth" in connection with this war and tbh I had neglected to look deeper into the historical context of it.
& It's always been strange to me, WHY an attacker would choose to totally destroy the country they wanna occupy, bc there's nothing left to conquer except maybe some resources - but most (if not all) infrastructure to extract and process said resources are also damaged or gone - wouldn't an attacker try to preserve as much of the occupied land as possible?
(Nope, just look at Russia's villages, rural areas, etc, they don't give af about their own land).
& I so came to the conclusion, there're several reasons for Russia to do this:
1*) To terrorize, spread fear and horror amongst the population.
2*) To intentionally wreck the country, they can't occupy or hold, not just "bc they can" and do it for revenge, but also to damage and ruin Ukraine's economy.
3*) To very cheaply rebuild the factories and settlements for optical purposes, bomb them afterwards themselves, then they claim "omg, those bad Ukrainians", (which btw also fits their propaganda narrative perfectly, like e.g. "8 years of dombing Bombas",*) and to steal the millions of Rubles cash they allegedly had spent rebuilding.**

Personally I think, this went several ways in Germany:
1) They didn't want to anger Putin's Russia too much at the beginning, bc initially they were blackmailed over the ~55% Germany's natural gas dependency.
2) They're still part of NATØ/EU and tried to be as united as possible without committing economical suicide, guess everybody already sees the struggle here.
3) Russian influence/Gerhard Schroeder and propaganda are (too) strong in Germany, some people in important positions are bribed by Russia and making as many troubles as possible.
4) So they decided to appease both sides til they were in a somewhat better position.
5) They got infuriated and a bit more united, when the turbine struggle happened.
6) They still sent weapons to Ukraine secretly without public attention.
7) Russia turning off Northstream 1 was the last straw for the patient part of the Germans, talk about Putin doing us a huge favour and shooting themselves into the leg!
8) As lots of other countries, they participated in humanitarian aid (refugees, treating Ukraine's wounded in their hospitals, etc), also without making it too much known publicly.
9) I'm sure I forgot something, lol - oh yeah, they started sending tanks officially - and who knows what else they sent to Ukraine unofficially ... talk about making Germany mad.
Reason I think that way is, bc I live in Austria and it's a very similar situation here unfortunately ... except we don't have access to the sea bc we are a landlocked country and can't get floating LNG factories cause of this.
Regardless, many if not most private people still feel very ashamed about this and we support Ukraine privately here mainly in humanitarian aid "officially", also the exiled iron curtain community is relatively strong here and they're all pro-Ukrainian and very very highly willing to sacrifice a lot.
We only need to wean ourselves off of Russian natural gas once, everybody knows this and we'll do it for sure, bc nobody wants to get blackmailed by Russia!
Russians let's go home already!

Guess, I just discovered the source of multiple people commenting about drųg "attics" in a long thread, hahahahaha!
🤣🙃🤣
Welp, that's just too funny!
Fun fact, they were dead serious, when "discussing" that topic and never made a spell check, making complete føøls out of themselves.
On the other hand, their whole thread sounded like a joke to me and maybe it was, I honestly don't know for sure ... if so, nobody got it or laughed.
Just to clarify, I'm a native German speaker trying my very best, to talk/text in English myself as well ... I'm NOT trying to ridicule second language speakers in any way here!
However, it takes me plenty of time, to look up and/or Google translate a bunch of words/quotes every single day, to avoid the root causes of translation-related misunderstandings.
& "Addict" is such a basic English word, that it just boggles my mind, how people aren't mentally capable, to connect the dots between a funny, intentionally exaggerated real or fake Russian accent (for comedy reasons) and the original word "addict", but go straight to bash "drųg attics" instead - their whole thread sounded pretty high to me - and I never got "a question to my answer"*, what a "drųg attic" might be.
* Wtf, LOL, I'll leave it like that! 😁

@ug2493 ✌
2nd Attempt, happy I'm not the only one, you're 💯🎯!
I researched this "..." for a whole day, basically starting on a hunch/bad gut feeling, when I spoke up against the whole charade though, most die-hard fans immediately called me a "ru troll" for the very first time in my life, asking why I'm saying this - which is ironic - as the right question should've been, "who's a troll here?"
I'm actually surprised, my previous post didn't instantly "go missing mysteriously" just like my first attempt of this one, that's also why I express myself very vaguely; I'm genuinely very sorry.
Siphoning away, what UA needs the most atm is unbearably hard to watch for me, bc I'm part of a family that had to flee from (ru) occupation in their former eastern European country, they became refugees and this isn't funny anymore, it's also somewhat personally insulting.

I'm sooo very sorry, this is happening to and around you, my Russian Dude!
As Austrian I can relate a lot to you, although through a totally different topic.
We've had (covid) mandates for everybody aged 14 and up here by the law for months and I get allergic reactions and really bad side effects from (at the very least every 2nd) medication my doctor prescribes to me and I've to change it asap after trying it, but my parents said, I should get the j*bs; I was totally terrified and "a criminal by law" for all these months starting with the law itself in October 2021, bc I was so deadly afraid.
Thankfully our high court then disagreed to the mandates (and later on totally squashed the law ~2months ago), but I went through he'll here, I was under so much pressure due to my own family here, (they asked me repeatedly if I already "got it" for several months) ... and it got sooo much worse, when the 24th of February came and went, bc the high court decision was "last minute" before the 15th of March = before the "penalty phase" would've started here in my country.
I'm still very much traumatized from these 2+ weeks of war starting, the additional pressure on me of fearing the high court's decision and this deadly fear of an allergic reactions when I might get forced into taking it, crippling me cause I couldn't afford those penalties of up to €3.600,- fines all three months, starting with the 15th of March '22 - thankfully our Austrian data system guys didn't play along with any of this and they claimed, it's impossible for their data system and them, to find all "the unvaççinated" in such a short amount of time and it wouldn't be before (earliest) end of April or May this "data problem" might get "solved" anyways - so this war starting was at least double as horrifying for me personally as for others; I went through he'll during this time literally and unfortunately I still do...
Propaganda is the worst ever, I 100% agree with you on that and I'm so sorry, you've to go through a somewhat similar situation for the whole time since the 24th of February, although mainly connected to the war topic and your relatives, these are 6 months of repeated horrors for you and I can relate to you more than I ever wanted to know in my life!
& I'm already totally afraid of this fall when covid numbers rise again, but I'm also very grateful, the high court finally squashed that useless law back in June or July I believe, (as the first high court decision initially had only "postponed" the law shortly before the 15th of March), but granted this stupid discussion will come up here again ... everybody here's still running around in masks and when I look at the rest of the western world, Austria feels like a parallel universe to me atm.
To say, this is/was one of the worst times of my life is a total understatement, tbh.

@DarkestAlice
Nah I'm nearly 100% positive it's this app, since they've introduced new guidelines ~2+ months ago, almost everybody's getting "yt-warnings" letting them know, they might lose their right to comment and/or their whole yt account plus channel, if "they continue this type of behaviour"*, people are put on 24 hour "comment-timeouts" for no reason, etc - they put me into this 24 hour yt-jail on my birthday of all freaking days and now for good measure, they're kindly harassing me on Xmas as well I guess lol - here in my country Xmas is celebrated on Dec. 24th, although it makes no sense as all shops are open till 2p.m bc greed and everybody's stressed tf out instead of relaxed and peaceful.
I'm SORRY, I shouldn't have written "or you", although I know YouTubers theoretically can delete posts from their own comment sections, but I've a very strong hunch that Artem DIDN'T DO THIS - I just can't edit it out again, bc yt cracks down on edited replies as well now and forced me to "discard" my own edited posts by not allowing me to post them again several times today already ... then I got nervous, made more typos/mistakes cause of this bs, edited them and the more I edited the more yt forced me to discard my own edited posts myself; a real catch 22.
On the other hand this happens every year between ~October and New Year, but NOT to such a scary extent as this year ... I'm already curious if this reply will also vanish.
* Question is, which behaviour?
I'm WAY too lazy to even argue with pro-russian commentators, so I've really no clue what kinda "behaviour" they're even referring to.

Wow, you went from 10.000 to 10.400 to 10.600 subscribers in less than 48 hours!
I remember this, bc it's already been late "forenoon" close to an early lunch-time here on Wednesday*, when I subscribed and consciously looked at your sub-number for the very first time.
I'm bursting of being proud of you!
* Writing down 27th of July '22 for my own memories, to look back and remember this exact day in a few months or years.
Ironically, said last Wednesday had started badly and very abruptly with me falling out of my bed to the floor, bc I got completely entangled inside my large blanket, which isn't exactly something I'm used to as it would be, if it happened to me all the time, so I was extremely baffled and confused, thankfully nothing hurt (due to being "entirely encircled" and therefore protected by my blanket) ... next thing I know is, I found your channel, this is the most perplexing and unique background-story, honestly!
& I'm sure, it looked very comical from the outside; I highly doubt I'll forget this day any time soon!

@JamesC785
The use of nuclear weapons would definitely be totally su1c1dal for Russia, as well as blowing up the Zaporozhzhia nuclear power plant, or even just causing an "accident" there ... I bet 99,999% of the world's population had never heard of the Zaporozhzhia nuclear power plant before, as long as it's been safely in Ukraine's hands and the wind would almost certainly blow nuclear clouds to Russia and Belarus, too.
So I see most of their nuclear threats as very desperate attempts to be taken more seriously, but they only accomplish the opposite reaction from the west; and they should stop blaming Ukraine for the Zaporozhzhia situation, bc nobody believes them and even China showed disapproval, disgust and concern only towards Russia cause of their military equipment storage in Zaporozhzhia, mining it and using it as a shield.
Pretty much nobody's ever been interested in Russian territory since WW2, (maybe I missed some insignificant details, but I mean for the most part they're just paranoid), nobody wants this war to escalate into a WW3 scenario and/or a nuclear disaster.
I believe, Russia could theoretically also mean the use of so called "tactical nuclear weapons*", when threatening nuclear strikes, as most people aren't aware, there're (at least) 2 different types of nuclear weapon systems.
* Tactical nuclear weapons are less radioactive, they're mainly aimed at destroying infrastructure like e.g. electric power lines, internet towers, water supply and traffic signs/signals (all working with computer-systems), etc...
They cause an unimaginable chaos in the country affected, but they're much less lethal, at least that's how I understood the topic's descriptions, hopefully my explanation here is correct, I still need to look into all of this a bit deeper. admittedly.
I'm also not sure, when the use of tactical nuclear weapons is justified according to the Russian doctrine, (it's not a very well-known topic at all), usually everybody just thinks about Hiroshima/Nagasaki types of nuclear bombs.

Fun In Ukraine.
We've been joking about the "YouTube bug" here in the west quite a bit since ... well, it started differently for everybody.
Bc everybody follows different channels, interests and hobbies, so it started at different times for different people and it takes some individuals shorter and some longer to notice it; like e.g. I strongly noticed it since covid hit.
But everybody's comments get dęlęted cause of kęyword filters and AI* censørship, so I started "alphabet camouflage" to succeed with my comments and I always make a copy, that I only dęlęte when my comment shows up in the thread.
& Tbh, I did some research a few months ago, the topic "dęlęted YouTube comments" fills lots of space online, but there's the common denominator, that ALL political sides get dęlęted!
Which led me and others to the theory, it's likely a "bug" dęlęting comments, that theoretically comes from different huge advertiser companies wanting different very controversial favours from YouTube, leading to a complete confusion of the YouTube AI over the years, which is the "bug".
* AI in this case is "artificial intelligence", hope this helps understanding!

Fun In Ukraine.
Hi!
I can relate to you a lot, bc I'm also at home sick after a life changing accident a while ago ... and hopefully you'll fully recover!
Sadly full recovery isn't always granted, there're accidents resulting in lifelong disabilities and pain management.
The other things you mentioned ... well that's exactly why I've never made any videos, bc I just don't have the patience and nerves to deal with YouTube itself AND with lots of angry frustrated people in general. Regardless of the topics I'd cover, I'd always have to deal with haters and their outrages; I just can't do this!
I really wouldn't be the right person for this and it'd eat me up psychologically, tbh.
& Due to me having no experience on YouTube, I'm pretty much the last person who could give you any advice.
Yes, of course YouTube uses kęyword filters and combines these filters with their AI, but I don't know how they're using the combination of it in detail now ... only thing I'm expecting is, it'll get a lot worse than just the "dęlęted comment problem" I've mentioned, bc there's a lot of campaigning going on atm to stop "online hate (speech)"; not sure if they mean YouTube and/or the whole internet though.
But the outcome will likely also effect YouTube again.
PS.
Btw, can you still see your own last comment?
I'm asking, bc it's not in the thread itself.
Maybe we should "relocate", if you wanna keep chatting.

Please contact Jake Broe, he was also demonetized together with lots of other pro-Ukrainian/Ukrainian channels - and it happened exactly when the Crimean bridge was burning - which was extremely suspicious to me tbh and that's why I remember it so vividly!
Back then I've said, that this had been the most convenient "YouTube glitch/bug" EVER, bc all YouTubers were of course totally depressed instead of them celebrating the potential earlier end of the war and to make it look less suspicious, YouTube also randomly shut down a bunch of other YouTubers as well of course, everything was back to normal within a couple of days and then they claimed a "mistake in the system/glitch/bug"/ whatever the case...
What truly happened imo was, that YouTube and half of the world were crapping their pants in fear of Putin's reaction/retaliation cause the Crimean bridge was burning and severely damaged basically as an AFTERPARTY of his 70TH BIRTHDAY and if you ask me, the lesser evil for YouTube was shutting down the Ukrainian/pro-Ukrainian community ... you just didn't notice it, bc you usually (besides your livestreams) never post on weekends and so back then it likely didn't affect you.
& Now we're having a similar occasion coming up:
The official Russian death toll will reach 6 digits pretty much exactly at Christmas and admittedly I'm already nervous how Putin will react, bc as usual he'll hit Ukraine hard - and yeah I get it, nobody would celebrate those 6 digits, bc it's a human tragedy with sooo many forcefully mobilised soldiers amongst the dead, but regardless it'll be a blow for Putin's ego, who certainly knows that his own numbers are totally wrong - imo Ukraine's already trying hard to delay that number but it'll come no matter what.
So please don't take it personally, I believe everything will be ok again in a couple of days!

@jordillach3222
Ah, thank so very much for your interesting explanation!
I had NO idea, I just figured "don" has to mean something, but had no clue about Kadyrov's relatively unique speech pattern.
This short video also gives me a much better idea, where all the comparisons of Kadyrov with a donkey might be coming from ... (besides him kissing his donkey on the mouth on social media), some claim he's weirdly looking way too intimate with his donkey in all the wrong ways, but maybe that's what happens to someone being too close to Putin for too long.
Kadyrov the "TikTok warrior", his donkey and his "Kadyrovites" ... a goldmine for memes!
PS.
It's not been hard to find the short, thank you!
Kadyrov certainly sounds comical - despite me not understanding his language at all, his repeated "(o) don" stood out to me as well - not sure though, if I would've noticed this without your explanation, I likely would've thought initially, that this is just how their (Chechen?) language sounds; spotting this is a lot harder to almost impossible, if it's not a language you understand and/or are familiar with.
I haven't tried to post a link here yet, so I don't know, if it'd show up or dęlęte my whole comment (basically I never know this beforehand) ... so I always post links in separate comments to avoid getting dęlęted and like you I give the title, so people don't need to trust me with my links.

Worst part of all was my own doctor threatening to get me into troubles with my meds prescriptions even BEFORE the high court's decision, of course this put me into a lot more fear back then, it started a downward spiral type of thing.
& After the high court decision, she initially did nothing, but in the past 3 months she's putting me through he'll for NO reason, always trying to not prescribe me parts of the meds I need and I'm used to for years, that's a pressure I'm not dealing with easily tbh, so it's not the war alone making me barely eat and sleep atm.
Additionally I want to point out, that I've never been part of any political "ąnti-vąxxęr movement" and I also never felt even a bit of victorious at all after this high court decision, bc I only felt such a HUGE relieve, that I didn't have to take the last measures to save myself from harm or death - which would've been me fully intentionally NOT signing the necessary agreements to each of the j*bs to save my health/life/finances, as signing those papers would've put ALL future responsibility for possible further illness(es), due to allergic reactions and/or any bad side effects onto my own shoulders, a measure I certainly would've taken, to avoid getting forced into allowing those to me potentially harmful j*bs - NOBODY (except a handful other individuals in similar situations here in Austria) can imagine and/or relate, what pressure this put onto my psyche ... and what mainly my doctor has put me through and still does throughout the past 10 months since last October, although I never called her out on the threats she has made; and I didn't even ask her for an exception from the j*bs back then bc I knew it was likely very pointless to do so, (basically I never bothered her at all over the j*bs).
If I could, I'd definitely change my doctor, but there aren't many doctors out there with that special permission to prescribe my meds, who aren't likely even worse than her, so I'm at a dead end atm and I don't know a solution for this problem yet, tbh.
& I imagine, you feel equally as helpless as me although the situation is a different one in your case.
& This all started with too much propagand in both of our situations and the propaganda continues getting worse over time, so I feel really bad for you feeling so torn.
Imo nobody should've to feel that way for no good reason at all!
Happy you made this video, bc it has helped me tremendously to reflect on the past 10 months or by writing this, which in turn has helped me a lot to get a clearer picture about my overall situation and the nagging question, why I'm so down atm.
Wish I knew a solution for the problems of both of us!

& Although you've not mentioned it in this video, I believe the Russian "anti war protests" are a trap and organized by Putin himself and here's why:
1) I've been watching a livestream of the St Petersburg protest yesterday and the guy noticed there were film crew busses parked there.
A coincidence(?), I don't think so.
2) The first guy clapping and screaming "no to war" in Russian (njet-va-nje or something like that) does so out of the blue ... it reminded me of paid protest instigators.
3) It generally doesn't make too much sense to me, that a protest against "partial" mobilisation doesn't say "no mobilisation" but turns into "no to war" so suddenly instead, what a contrast to the "overall support" for the war!
Part of it could be, that saying "no mobilisation" is too dangerous in Russia but still.
4) The "(anti war) protests met with police brutality" Russian stereotype will be covered extensively by western media, it creates sympathy and makes Putin's Russia "look good" to us, don't be fooled it's only a few hundred people protesting and they don't give a crap about war crimes in Ukraine.
5) The protesters are (allegedly) sent to the military immediately - "if you can fight against us, you are still very able to fight" - now I don't know what to think about that, but this is a nightmare for Russia in the making.
Mind y'all, I'm not saying it's all fake, normal average people are caught up in all of this, eighter in protests, mobilisation or both and I'm genuinely feeling horrible for them.
But it all looks relatively carefully planned out to me - remember Putin's 1 day delayed speech and then the Russian people got their military enlistments pretty much simultaneously, while they were still in shock about the "partial mobilisation" including the bad sign of swan lake ballet - this is some really well planned out crap imo.
Also, that "missing 7th paragraph" allowing more than 300.000 people to be drafted is done to avoid larger protests and/or a revolution, that could lead to a collapse of the Russian government.

"...as soon as they die they start murdering them."
Oh well, they are trying to mirror and they're projecting really hard here!
In case you don't know, there're many Russian POW interviews on the Zolkin Volodymyr/Volodymyr Zolkin YouTube channels* and some of them are telling in a very convincing way, they've witnessed wounded Russian soldiers getting systematically shot by a different group of soldiers (not belonging to them), to avoid the financial burden of medical treatment.
Btw, this also seems to correlate with some intercepted phone calls as well as with information, that radio wave listeners have collected (by people of different countries around the world ... pretty sure they have put their own radiowave-towers into Ukraine and all over it, as they've planned and Ukraine has helped them).
I'm sure you can imagine the extreme uproar, this is causing amongst these Russian soldiers loved ones/friends and all average Russians in general.
That's the exact reason, why Putin can't find any more soldiers, who legally need to be "volunteers" for some reason due to the nature of their "special military operation" btw.

Btw, CONGRATULATIONS to running past 35k subs and heading towards 40k very very soon!
You've so many more views than subs, that's a good sign, sometimes I'm also noticing relatively late, that I actually had forgotten to subscribe to a channel*, bc YouTube's algorithm is continuously recommending me videos of channels I often watch, so on 2 to 3 occasions I was like:
"Wait a minute, I'm not a subscriber yet, shocked I just noticed it now!"
(* Didn't happen with your channel, but bigger ones, where it didn't matter that much).

* It's really amazing, how quickly my keyboard stored this hilariously unnecessary word "denuded" from me finding "denudified" instead of "denązįfied" in last video's transcript at 9:00 !
😁 Gave me such a flash of laughter for at least 15 minutes, that I entirely forgot, what I was looking for in the transcript to begin with🤣 ... bc I was looking for a timestamp and for the life of me, I don't remember what I've been looking for!
Maybe it's been the "source" for the "drųg attic" part and I found it anyways.
I'm getting side-tracked again, however I love this channel so much, I'm always laughing when I'm here, even if it's just for commenting, it's always a good time!
The channel owner "The Russian Dude" has NO idea, what great service he's providing us depressed fearful people with, it's an amazing gift to turn something dark and sinister like war stories and Russian propaganda etc into first class comedy.
Thank you so much for that, Dude!

I'll do my best to recommend this channel to other lovely people whose (who's?) usernames I already recognize below other Ukraine/Russia videos.
Hopefully others with social media accounts are doing the same ... it won't be tomorrow but your channel will grow, keep up the great work!
You as channel owner "The Russian Dude" have NO idea, what great service you're providing us depressed fearful people with, it's an amazing gift to turn something dark and sinister like war stories and Russian propaganda into first class comedy.
Thank you so much for that, Russian Dude!

I don't know, what exactly got your comment dęlęted - it could be your location, it could be YouTube kęyword filters and AI censørship, or something I don't know (they may also start to go after my beloved "alphabet camouflage" now) - I kept your original meaning and worded some things differently, to get through all of this nonsense; if yours is still visible, please feel free to compare it.
... The problem is, it's starting to get really really bad on both sides here on YouTube.
& If you haven't noticed it yet, we're suffering from a huge "dęlęted comments problem" here ... never seen threads saying something like "10 replies" and you can only find 4-6 of them left?
This isn't only frustrating, it stops communication almost entirely, bc most users just give up on that specific thread/topic.
I'll stop now and look what happens.
& PLEASE, to make it a bit easier:
Don't reply to dęlęted comments that doesn't show up in the open thread, take a previous one if possible, make a copy of your texts and double-check, if your comment shows up in the thread!

I'm eternally grateful your comment is showing up this time, thank you SO very much!
& You're right, I can still access your replies, if I didn't dęlęte the notifications after replying - to GIVE THE ALGORITHM MORE SPACE FOR ALLOWING MORE REPLIES INTO MY NOTIFICATIONS, which I just discovered, haven't fully figured out yet and could be totally wrong about* - however, you're still perfectly right, I also have the replies in my emails and up to ~2 weeks ago, I could make a copy of the dęlęted comments there, to bring them back into the thread for better context and now this option isn't possible any longer, bc YouTube cancelled it; so I feel really defeated at the moment. 😭
& Yes of course I can make a short summary or quote what I'm replying to, however everything's getting more and more complicated and I'm sure you can also see the problem of making conversations as time-consuming and frustrating as possible for everybody here.
But if it's better for your safety to have no comments showing up (which is understandable), then I'll deal with that.
I fully agree to YouTube being a great source of information, it has become more important than main stream media for the most part ... actually most don't trust official media anymore and for everybody it's a different point in time this feeling had started; so yes, YouTube's highly important.
(Admittedly I still need to look into what this FB exception was about ... I'm not a social media user at all).
* Actually I'm still experimenting around, if dęlęting old notifications makes much sense.

I agree with you, they'd just remove your YouTube account, if this were about profile pictures!
When I wrote this I forgot completely, that I had repeatedly seen commenters with swastika profile pictures* recently and they were NOT removed - in case you don't know, swastikas are forbidden in Germany as well as in my country (Austria) for good reason - and although I don't know how to feel about seeing those pictures so often, it's likely the better option for YouTube to be tolerant, as it doesn't mean to accept it or approve of it.
* Half of them pro Russian commenters, the other pro Ukrainians mocking each other; so there's obviously a "swsatika-war" going on at the moment. 🤣
This brings me back to YouTube's kęyword filters and AI censørship - I recently researched the "dęlęted comments problem" for hours and ALL sides were complaining about getting dęlęted, so it's likely NOT a political thing - and knowing YouTube lives from advertisers, it's more likely their AI-computer is suffering from a "bug" in the meantime, caused by different huge advertising companies requesting conflicting favours/inputs into the AI over the past years, before investing into expensive advertising-campaigns on YouTube; this theory made the most sense to me, (although I could be wrong of course).
Thank you for being so reasonable and well-balanced in your understanding, despite your profile picture! ;-)

@TheRussianDude
I'm also very happy about pretty much "accidentally running into you/your channel" and us both meeting each other!
You somehow managed to make me full blown belly laugh again, to the point of my stomach hurting, although in a very good way ... and I've lots of hope again.
Guess I've been in, what many other Europeans here have also described as "some weird state of shock since the 24th of February" and I just couldn't snap out of it on my own again ... so thank you endlessly for this unexpected gift!
Actually, I still miss my entire memories from 1 week to 10 days after this infamously crucial date - only detail I "kind of remember" is, that I recently discovered a bunch of unopened emails, that all have still remained unanswered (of course no important ones), which is very strange, bc I didn't go on an alcohol and/or substance binge ... at least not during this time in question, lol; something like a "substance-unrelated memory loss" had never happened to me before, it's just too odd to fully grasp with my own brain.
Still trying to make it make sense to myself!
& Btw, if I'm absent and/or very late to a video and/or lifestream, then this doesn't mean I have left, I'm only sticking together with my family a lot more than usual, bc my dad's even much more negatively getting old and this Russian occupation is a lot like e.g. a severe case of "déjà vû"/flashbacks and "history's repeating itself" to him, with lots of very bad memories of his own childhood trauma of having Russians occupying their Hungarian house.
& Of course my family has priority for me, although I thankfully don't have to worry about non-existent kids, which is a huge relief tbh!
Just want to let you know, this will happen occasionally

Somehow you made me full blown belly laugh again to the point of my stomach hurting, although in a very good way and I thank you endlessly for this unexpected priceless gift ... I'm so full of hope again now!
Both of my parents already noticed, that I'm glowing, radiating positivity and laughing again, not in a forced way but naturally and they're sooo happy as well!
Basically you've already made 3 people super-happy, without even knowing them or me personally.
To explain a bit what had happened:
I've been in, what many others here in Europe also have described as "some weird state of shock since the 24th of February" and I just couldn't snap out of it again on my own.
I'm certainly not the only one experiencing the beginning of the war this way, interestingly many/most people from various European countries I had contact with, have described this shock-state in a very similar way ... so this seems to be a collective phenomenon.
I even have gone through some strange memory loss for ~1 week to 10 days after that infamously devastating date - the only thing I "kind of remember" is, I've discovered a bunch of unopened unanswered emails from that time period after the 24thof February and I just can't remember anymore, what happened during this time, it felt/still feels like a fog when I'm trying to remember what I did around the time war had started, there's just a dark hole of nothingness.
I've never experienced anything like that before ... however I'm 100% sure, I didn't just go on an alcohol and/or substance binge, (at least not during this time period in question, lol), making this whole not substance-related memory loss even more weird to me.
Still trying to make it make sense to me tbh; my elderly parents and me can't thank you enough!

I'm working on that as well.
However I don't discuss, I always only question them, bc otherwise they send me down a freaking rabbit hole of Russian propaganda ffs.
Questioning is powerful in a country like Russia that's giving their citizens all the wrong answers.
I question and question til I get the feeling, they would be hesitant enough to sign, that's all I do for 6 months now and it was a wild ride so far.
Including Russians "mirroring" me (I accidentally met one twice and immediately afterwards an account fished me out 3× really fast and no, not the profile picture/same channel replies move, it remains unexplainable to me ... still I've no idea how they did it :D - YouTube makes it very hard though with dęlęting their replies, it's really embarrassing to have the Russians replies dęlęted all the time and I have to accept and deal with it, as Russians pick up on that as well and boy, they started mocking me about "the free world" a lot.
Still better to deal with dęlęted comments than going to gulag though, is always my reply to that.
I could already write a book about that if I had the time for it, I should've taken screenshots of all of that I guess.

@vitaliy9932
Your reply got dęlęted for unknown reasons (again!), you were saying:
"But the trølls working at those factories get paid to post pro-Russian propaganda all over social media, YouTube and news sites".
My reply:
Yes and I fully acknowledge, that's a HUGE problem right now!
I only saw ads in the past, offering payment for commenting on YouTube, but I never followed up on their offer; they were asking the viewers things like e.g. "why aren't you already earning money for writing YouTube comments?"
Well, bc I always suspected that I'd no longer be free to say may own opinion, but would've to follow a certain narrative and it truly makes me wonder, how many comments are already paid ones online ... I'm not sure if that's only a Russian thing, bc I never did some research into this tbh; I truly should though!
I'm also really confused atm, if "trøll farms" and "trøll factories" are two terms for the exact same thing or not ... however I suspect, they aren't working IN those factories but from home, don't you think?
I could be totally wrong, bc I didn't really look into this neither yet, but I always thought, "trøll farms" are basically using bots with spoofed accounts/English sounding names, writing stuff like e.g. "Ukraine is loosing" and are spreading those comments in masses.
& Yes double "oo", making it grammatically false and these accounts standing out everywhere, (lol) ... these bots often stand out, bc they are making repeated grammar mistakes and someone reading lots of comments certainly notices them.
PS:
PLEASE ALWAYS make a copy of your own texts before you hit "send", open up the whole thread and double-check, if your comments also show up in the thread, thank you so very much.
Otherwise our communication becomes really hard everywhere here on YouTube and I'm struggling a lot to bring back your replies tbh.

@Diggnuts ✌
🤣🙃🤣
This reminds me of something ... a joke:
Putin, Biden and Zelenskyy are in a plane together, there're only 2 parachutes and there's suddenly an alarm, that the plane is going to crash soon.
Putin immediately grabs the parachute and jumps.
Biden says to Zelenskyy:
"Take the parachute, your country needs you sooo much more than mine right now, I'm old anyways and I've had a great life, good luck Volodimir!
So hesitantly Zelenskyy takes the 2nd parachute, thanks Biden and jumps as well.
After that the situation in the plane immediately stabilizes again, Biden and the pilot land safely, turned out that Zelenskyy's huge steal balls had weighed the plane down and caused the alarm to go off in the first place, so now Biden &co are looking for their 2 other passengers ... Zelenskyy had landed safely, bc his balls are great airbags as well.
& Putin had accidentally grabbed the pilot's backpack... 😁

Hi, Doc in paradise, my friend!
I lost the link to our last conversation (actually I wonder, if I dęlęted it accidentally), so I'm super-happy and excited to see you here!
Ukraine recommended to "go dark" with online information about the counter offensive which is very understandable to me.
& If we want them to win, we should be ok with that ... also there're many things/videos nobody can show on YouTube anyways.
Going back to our last topic, I was wondering about Vasya and the black guy living in Russia, who got a car from Vasya a lot, tbh.
He has shown sooo many poor people on his channel, but he decides to give the only black guy a present (nothing wrong with that), but he did it 3 months into the war and I'm wondering, how he could afford it, so this looks very odd to me.
Is it really so strange for me to think, he's making some questionable deals with their authorities to help certain people in a spectacular way?
Imo other people he showed/(exploited?) were equally as deserving of a "good will gesture" ... admittedly I didn't watch his whole channel, did I miss something important about him?

Yeah, but all they need to do in the Kherson region is shelling Russian pontoon bridges, fairies, boats, helicopters, etc and all Russian attempts to repair the main bridges ... and wait till they totally freak out, cause their supply lines are cut off for the most part/completely.
I know, the civilians there are incredibly suffering/getting robbed/rąped/tortured/likely starve, however all this also makes them way more infuriated and harder to control.
It'll make the remaining civilians there a lot more determined to fight back at the end of the day - backstabbing, car bombing, etc, you name it, it's happening right now - Russians can only kill them all or get killed by them ... but man war is brutal and it sucks sooo much; I'm trying not to cry too much!
However it's a perfect strategy to open up an entirely different second front hundreds of miles away, not sure how I feel about a third one (Ukrainian/US/NATØ intelligence knows a lot better than me if it's worth the risks); although I'm a bit worried about Putin/Russian army command starting to use more dirty tricks like Zaporozhzhia due to their total desperation.
& I'm afraid there might be more missile attacks from Russia/Belarus directly, but Ukrainian air defence systems seem to be a lot better now thankfully.

Unfortunately YouTube dęlęted your reply to me, so I decided to bring it back, bc to me it's important.
You wrote:
@Anita K
Sorry I was being flippant about the whole inflation thing.
Yes it's a real problem but it's not insurmountable.
They just need to get rid of their leader. Seriously. He's responsible for some really stupid things:
1) Lowering interest rates when inflation is rising.
2) Getting the country into a huge dept cycle.
3) Relying on imports to prop the economy up.
4) The crashing currency.
(He's done some good things for the people, but his use of depts to do this was ALWAYS going to come and bite him, just like it is in China - though they hide it).
My reply:
No problem really, this time I knew you're right, Turkey appeared to be flippant to ... well to most of us except for Russia of course; but you were not flippant.
Most points you've mentioned, I remember hearing on another channel I also watch, especially about raising interest rates during high inflation ... naming other channels always gets me dęlęted/shądøw bąnnęd for some reason, so I better don't do it.
I believe, we're all hurting one way or another atm, at least for me it's extremely painful, depressing and hard to come to terms with the trauma this war causes to millions of people atm and the ripple effects of it on the whole world.
When scrolling through the comments here and there I often saw you but didn't want to get involved and confront you with my profile cause of our past total nonsense-clash.
Back then I had overreacted due to being in so much pain and psychological distress, I genuinely apologize to you personally ... we should be friends.
