  1. I think, Ukraine didn't really have 30 years, bc before Maidan there was Yanukovic (and other leaders) basically going back to Russia and ignoring his people's wishes ... and shortly after Maidan russia invaded Crimea and did it's best to drag them back into their zone of influence. Let's be fair to Ukraine here.

  2. Beautiful! Let's just say the drones were "intercepted" by the Volgograd Lukoil oil refinery ... very accurately btw.

  3. How on earth is "never having to vote again" ever a good option? I just don't get it.
    19
  4. Yeah Prigozhin has or might've "liberated" Bahkmut from its entire existence ... part of the confusion coming from the fact, that Wagner had claimed victory over Bahkmut several times in the past already.
    14
  5. Russia looking up to North Korea for some or all kinda "traditional values" is just bonkers to me.
    13
  6. He doesn't mention Belgorod and Moscow, bc in Russia it's barely mentioned ... I even heard they intentionally misspelled Shebekino (= a village near Belgorod) in their articles, to avoid that Russians find online search results about it.
    13
  7. Not to mention that start, trying to decipher Putin's always changing goalposts and goals in general was hilarious ... admittedly I'd sound equally as weird if I'd try to make sense of Putin's speeches.
    13
  8. 2:38 Those Russian city-names are only important to identify pro-Russian voices in the comment section ... I've noticed, they pretty much always call Bahkmut "Artyomovsk" instead, no matter how much they're otherwise pretending to be pro-Ukrainian and/or are trying to hide, that they consume plenty of Russian propaganda stuff.

  10. Zack is an extremely lovely guy, I'm a subscriber for quite long time ... can't wait for your collaboration, Prof!

  11. "...willingness to endure whatever this was..." 🤣

  12. I don't even know, why people are struggling sooo hard to understand this Russian invasion ... but obviously they do, so PLEASE keep going Professor, thank you so very much! For me it's actually very simple: Putin said (something along the lines of), that he "was forced to go into Ukraine, bc Ukraine would've invaded poor little Russia otherwise" - gimme a break here, Ukraine certainly didn't plan to invade a country with ~6k nukes, that's complete nonsensical - and everything that happens under Russian occupation or their responsibility, is only on them imo.

  13. I agree, Prigozhin didn't suddenly become pro-Ukrainian, that's just wishful thinking on our part.
    7
  14. 2:41 I've a hunch, one of the reasons that RT is now recognizing the Wagner group as driving force in Bahkmut is going back to ignoring Prigozhin's "victory" over Soledar a few weeks ago. Back then RT had claimed, it's been the regular Russian army taking Soledar, so Shoigu and Gerasimov got all the credit, which infuriated Prigozhin, this fueled the infight-fire between the different groups on the Russian side and I bet, that's why it's so important ... but for everybody who didn't follow this invasion that closely, there's definitely an explanation needed and so I fully agree on doing a whole video on this topic; although from a moral and humanitarian point of view, Prigozhin doesn't deserve anything but disgust, let alone all the attention he's getting for a while now, but I'm staying tuned.
    7
  15. 7:45 "Today PMC Wagner is the best army in the world...!" Slower than a snail at it's lowest pace, yeah right.

  16. I've yet to hear General Ben Hodges make an argument I totally disagree with, he's such a pleasure to listen to and he fully understands, that several other counties with nukes and expansion-plans are watching us here in the West extremely closely.
    6
  17. & You also forget, who's the attacker here - news flash, it's NOT Ukraine - they're only defending themselves and their country.

  18. Tbh that's been my very first time watching these 2 together, I didn't even know they're the Duran channel, even the dark haired guy looked sceptical the whole time ... I can only imagine people watch them for comical relief.
    6
  19. & I completely forgot to mention, the western pro-Russian female scammer/propagandist "Donbas devushka" had Ritter on her channels/shows several times. This tells me all I need to know about him - so of course he's making business with his strange world-views, bc I highly doubt that he's doing all this for free - maybe he made an exception and did "Donbas devushka:" some free favours, bc she's female; but in general I can't imagine he's "working that hard" without getting money for it.

  20. HEHEHE, hello GTSY Aussie T! Just saw Starsky on this thumbnail and had to watch immediately. Slava Ukraine heroyam Slava! 💙🐾💛💕🇺🇦💕💛🐾💙

  21.  @Aussie_T  That's not today (Brandon), it's on the 30th/Sunday.

  22. Thank you so very much for all your support for Ukraine, fellas! 💙🇺🇦💛

  23. Those two nutcases found each other. Part of me wishes that Alex goes to Russia and maybe stays there, on the other hand I'm afraid what those two together will come up with in the future, if Alex goes there. What a nightmare!

  24. I love this sentence you wrote in your description, that "the soldiers of the 54th will be protected by guardian angels." & I can't thank your/our fantastic pro Ukrainian community enough for their generous support. 💙🇺🇦💛

  25.  @Aussie_T  Oh boy I slept away while trying to reply to you and still had your name on screen when I woke up, have to re-watch both streams (Sstv + E). I'm not thrilled by Merc's decision to take the same streaming time though, this'll only cause more unnecessary drama.

  26.  @Aussie_T  I mainly watch them bc I've met so many lovely viewers there. I'll do my best to be at Brandon's premiere in 20 minutes.

  27.  @Aussie_T  In case you've time and are interested, Starsky just started on the channel "The Shills", you've to subscribe to comment on livechat.

  28. Pretty sure they renamed Kyiv as well ... besides thankfully never being able to take it.

  29. I've yet to see a pro-Russian propagandist, who's at least sympathetic, not to mention having proof and therefore being convincing - Scott Ritter fits to the bunch perfectly - he also got caught during TCAP/aka "to catch a predator" drying operations once or twice, then it turned out that he had 2 previous similar arrests, summing up to 4 all in all. & That's only when he got caught, allowing the conclusion that he did this all the time.
    4
  30. Reason why he's calling Kharkiv "Kharkov" instead is, that it's the Russian name for Kharkiv ... it's the exact same thing as with another one of them calling Bahkmut "Artymovst" (or something similar) and shows where they're getting their information from and standing; very tiresome indeed.
    4
  31. Yeah Starsky's snail's pace calculation from one of* his viewers is brilliant and he's the best guy to present it to a wider audience. I've seen the stream and the short video they cut out and I'm laughing like crazy every single time I hear it. * Edited autocorrect mistake, dam!

  32. What bothers me is that I'm fully aware, we're focusing on Ukraine's successes and Russia does the same - so I don't only agree, that we're endangered to become an echo chamber - but also our impression of Russia = this alternate reality in their own parallel universe becomes stronger and the gap wider and less reconcilable.
    4
  33. 15:08 "...Russia spent $75 mio to advertise, how great the US Patriot air defence system is!" Not to mention, the Patriot system is ~3+ decades old, which truly puts all of this into perspective ... I really love that line quoted by Jake! (Of course I was watching Jake's video, he's great in explaining all that military stuff to average folks like me who've no idea).

  34. I don't think it's the Prof doing this, everybody's complaining about vanishing posts so it's the platform we're on.
    4
  35. Prof your timing's going to collide with The Shills and Starsky/other guests this evening, they've a huge announcement according to their community page. I'm not sure you know this - although I'm relatively positive you've been on the Saturday's Shills Ukraine stream before with guests like Starsky, Rick, Greg and others - they start 1 hour before you and usually go for longer than an hour now. Just telling you, bc it's hard to watch 2 streams (and/or 1 stream and 1 premiere) simultaneously, so when viewer counts are low, that's why ... I think collabs are the way to go.

  36. I believe it was Operator Starsky, who pointed out that those were mostly fire fighters and rescue workers marching in that parade ... and maybe also some students. Russia certainly needs those fire fighters everywhere atm.
    3
  37. & That he even mentions Vuhledar is also funny, bc isn't this the town where the Russians repeated the same manuvers over and over again, with incredible losses? Somethings not right here, I've always seen Russia as an alternate reality that lives in a parallel universe ... and their propagandists also seen to come from a different galaxy.
    3
  38. Noel His "heart is too hard", bc he doesn't sympathize with Putin's army invading another country, but feels for the mostly Ukrainian victims instead? That's the strangest argument I've heard during that whole war tbh. PS. Sorry I won't @tag you. Heard too much about some people getting paid for our replies directly @addressed to them.

  39.  @thehappyclam3942  This wasn't about the Budapest Memorandum but about NATO and the US has a treaty with NATO for sure ... don't you understand context?

  40. 2:23 🤣🙃🤣 McGregor: Ukraine's collapsing, collapsing, collapsing, coola-sing, sing-sing,... That's bc he's the number 1 troll and I'd not be shocked to learn that he's actually financing a troll and/or botfarm somewhere - ALL he hopes for is to get a short shock moment outta folks - and that the theory about the destroyed click being right twice a day might come true for him.

  41. & Yeah, Ukraine also hit "the dam" shortly before the Kherson counter offensive and they did it extremely carefully on 2 spots where the railways were NOT above the dam at all, with the goal to interrupt the Russian troops resupply ... meaning the Russian troops in Kherson city on the western side of the Dnipro river. This made similar holes like in the Antonovsky bridge and didn't damage the dam.

  42. Aken Valle, you'd also want to evacuate your woman and kids, if you're aware they're threatened to get kidnapped, killed or worse while you're defending your country on the front. This explains perfectly, why ~10 million Ukrainians had to flee their country.
    3
  43. @burre42 Questions is the only strategy that works from my experience, bc it tells you a lot about their mindset - this is, if they're actually real people - that "bot or human" question is the one I'm struggling with a lot though.

  44.  @irdorath356  Learn about NATO before arguing bs here. NATO has an open door policy, but NATO does NOT "invite countries to join" as you're claiming. When a country wants to join NATO, they've to OFFICIALLY APPLY FOR NATO MEMBERSHIP, just as every other NATO country had done before them, like Sweden and Finland did recently ... russia NEVER officially applied though! Learn history. & After a new country officially applies for NATO membership, every other NATO country HAS TO AGREE to the new member country and they each have a VETO RIGHT. This time Hungary and Turkey initially weren't fully on board to let Sweden and Norway in bc of minor unresolved issues that got sorted out relatively quickly. Your russia wouldn't have gotten very far in NATO anyways, EVEN IF the russian federation would've officially applied for NATO membership, bc every single formerly soviet suppressed eastern European country like Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary etc - who had instantly fled the russian influence after the USSR aka soviet union had collapsed in 1991 - would've VETOED THE ISH OUT OF putin's russia joining NATO, bc russia had been THE ONLY REASON they all had joined NATO in the first place. Without all those known facts theorizing about a russian NATO membership too much isn't really helpful at all. (The russians and putin didn't wanna officially apply bc they wanted a large red NATO carpet rolled out for them bc "they're great huge russia" after all, guess that's also why they expected an invitation and whatnot. Also low and behold putin didn't like the idea of his "biggest country on earth russia" only having 1 veto right instead of multiple ones bc he's used to dominate everybody - he couldn't stand democracy and the picture of his former enslaved eastern European countries all together vetoing him out effectively - and an official russian apology would've been needed for their past russian crimes and mistakes against all said eastern European countries ...now tsar putin can go and f himself for being such an arrogant a-h. Let's just say the megalomaniac russian mindset isn't compatible with NATO).

  45.  @Kohagaan  When I watched the video on his channel out of curiosity, I got the feeling he might be Serbian or a Russian living in Serbia ... I can be wrong about this though. After he commented pro-russian talking points below one of my head comments, I remember replying to him "no matter how you wanna spin it, NOTHING justifies what russia is doing to Ukraine" (he never replied to me again after that) ... so I get it why you call him a soulless bot. The effing idįøt didn't know, he was writing to the daughter of someone who's fled from another Russian invasion to the West in 1956, bc I never told him, guess that's why he tried to convince me of his russian mindset.

  46. (Part 2) At the very least one of the first Google search-results will definitely bring you there, bc I'm really not in the business of making such things up - the most outlandish, intriguing, bizarre, questionable, absurd, unsettling, extraordinarily unlikely, but also the funniest, most entertaining, exhilarating, humorous, comically uplifting part for me personally is though, that even if you would've googled only "Shebekino typo" on your own without my help or sources - granted, your search also would've brought you exactly there, so your question for "sources" was entirely pointless, you would've found it easily on your own, if truly interested! So THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE ENLIGHTENMENT, that wasting my time seems to be the latest super-strategy of pro-Russian supporters, bc it's not the very first time, that I saw this method used by your folks ... rest assured though, I won't fall for it again!

  47. (Part 3) & As the vast majority of other average viewers, I truly don't remember anymore where I had heard about this typo initially and I generally don't collect any sources of all the countless war-videos I've watched so fa, but last weekend I accidentally stumbled across the same topic again in an Artur Rehi video titled... "The rise of Belgorod People's Republic | Ukraine counter-attacked near Vuhledar | Ukraine update ... (uploaded on 2nd of June) ...where he also mentions this typo incident at 11.44 timestamp, you'll get the video-link separately, bc nowadays most war related YouTube channels don't allow any links at all anymore. & PLEASE be nice to Artur, give him a👍 you can be grateful. Bc without his video, I certainly wouldn't have replied to you at all, as the research would've taken me too long without him.

  48. Not that it truly matters anyways, bc I've come to the conclusion, your account is a bot or troll anyways.

  49.  @meme-zt7tv  I've a question for you, bc I'm still waiting for someone to enlighten me; (NOT really): WHAT OR WHOM ARE YOU DEFENDING WITH SUCH A PASSION HERE?
    3
  50.  @MeesNukk  Do you really expect me to collect all my "sources" out of each war related video I'm watching? You can't be serious.
