  1. Leaked documents are a joke. They feel like fakes - most info is from ... public domain. It all feels like a document to throw Russians off but Russia does not bite.

  2.  @libertarian4323  Not really - most of this is from 1970s and very accurate. Seen Russian artillery drone controlled take out single Ukrainian soldiers in trenches.

  3.  @libertarian4323  Actually on video I saw dozens of rounds - most missed but some scored a hit. Not edited. The can get lucky - artillery with dumb rounds can be quite precise. Or they can use guided ammo. 1970s and 1980s era artillery is roughly as precise as modern stuff - main difference is range - usually the barrels are longer and there can be changes in max pressure of the chamber. 1970s /1980s era artillery can be easily upgraded with things such as round velocity computer, GPS, ballistic computer etc. Old Soviet stuff is frequently upgraded - it is not expensive upgrade. D-20 howitzer is a post WWII design. its not 1970s nor 1980s it is 1950s.

  4.  @libertarian4323  Sure, US sent some 105mm guns - so what is your point exactly? That old stuff is used in secondary roles? D-20 is mostly used by units of DPR and territorial defense on Russian side. T-62s are mostly block tanks / guard tanks / assault guns. Not sure how does that invalidate my point. US flies some bombers that are well over 50 year old - does that mean US air force is junk?

  5.  @harmless6813  I mostly watch videos here on YouTube. Some Russian media can be auto translated. But also has visuals like 100s of pows. I was the one to pointed that Russians show. 82 pows from snake island while everyone was claiming their heroic death. I said how come little resistance everywhere else but so much on some remote island. Logic. Hard to argue with a video showing you stuff. Then again, there are videos where Ukrainians Draw Z on their own vehicles to pretend they are Russian.

  6.  @news2hedz227  No one ever imprisoned US presidents yet in the last 20 years they killed like what, millions of civilians? Be real.

  7.  @harmless6813  Its easy for Ukrainians to pretend to be Russians, its next to impossible the other way around - at least if they use their national languages. Almost all Ukrainians speak Russian - more then Ukrainian (!). Almost no Russian speaks Ukrainian.

  8. Any capability should not be the reason. Freedom for Donbass. End Nazism in Ukraine.

  9.  @gothenmosph5151  Russia did keep that promise till 2014 - notice what occurred in 2014. US took over & Ukraine no longer was unaligned - it switched to the enemy.

  10.  @ЛевЛевый-ж2щ  Re read 2014 and why Russia took Crimea. Again, check again WHY. The non block status was violated.

  11.  @gothenmosph5151  Canada alone has 100 troops plus and was planning to increase to 200. There are few thousand NATO troops in Ukraine right now. Canada is not a sovereign state. Its a play thing of the US.

  12.  @willc1294  fins were already digested in WW2. No need to grab more. They are 100% safe. Baltics? Maybe, they could clean them up. Poland? Why, no Russians there and it was already robbed same as fins in WWII. Through stolen lands went to Ukraine.

  13.  @sammy4124  how can they target Putins money? Does he even have any? Stalin did not own much personal property. By western standards he was poor.

  14.  @pupsiuspupuliukas2394  Yes, he essentially owned whole country. If he wanted to fly a plane, he took one. If he wanted a ship, he took one. Besides, it was communism - allergic to large personal property.

  15. the game changer!

  16.  @pomperidus  Fun fact, during WWII Soviets received as much help during entire WWII as Ukraine in just 1 year! Another fun fact, Soviet industrial output matched US output at the end of WWII. Yet another fact, disclosed ammo (152 / 155) production for Russia is 4x the total ammo production in the US (2022)

  18. A lot of what he speaks is BS. But a lot of it is true.

  19.  @Mike-zx1kx  If that is the case then US must be taking a blood bath.

  20. It is far more connected with reality then when US speaks.

  21. Maybe not for long. DW is already using Soviet name, so maybe they know of future plans.

  22. ​ @Spearca  nah, if it becomes part of Russia, name change feels unlikely.

  23. The F-16 is predicted to be sent sometime next year if Ukraine lasts that long. It will not make a difference. S-400 system has very PK against 4th gen fighter. So any F-16s trying to dodge S-400 missiles is a suicide - they will be flying low.

  24. Well, more like 75 according to more reliable sources. Sending all Polish and Slovakian MiGs would replenish their losses in fighter aviation.

  25. These were not missiles. These were washing machines. Russia run out of missiles long time ago.

  26. LOL! Anti tank aircraft such as A-10 have lesser survival over Ukraine then Su-25 ;)

  27. Nah hopes are low.

  28. These troops will not be used in freshly added territories. Through they can be stationed inside Russia proper to defend against Ukrainian saboteurs, once they complete basic training.

  29. There is no path to Ukrainian victory unless such victory is heavily re-defined. Russia is clearly winning this war and is achieving its goals. Sending more weapons just prolongs the war and gives false hopes to Ukraine.

  30. 95% of Russians including opposition understands and supports Crimea as part of Russia. It is part of Russia now. So they will fight for their land rather hard. It would be a reason to mobilize and use everyone involved to fight for their land. So no. Crimea will not go to Ukraine. Till there are still Russians alive to fight for their country. It would be like asking US to give Texas back to Mexico.

  31. He is clearly talking to the west.

  32. ​ @Usamaalbelda  that was what Ukraine rejected before the war.

  33. ​ @andriyy53  no he annexed Donbass right at the start of the war, in Feb 2022. Come on, basic info.

  34. Nah, US takes the cake. And EU is now quite close behind.

  35. Lol, these are mobile. And can be in the air. Also with what? Range here is 1000s of km.

  37. Why is US?

  38. Yet US and Ukraine claims that it is Russia bombarding it ;)

  39. That is US, when they kill millions its totally fine and cool.

  40. What will they win?

  41.  @Noamchomsky1917  What land? Land belongs to the people that live on that land! Freedom for Donbass!
    1
  42.  @Noamchomsky1917  if that was true Ukraine would love a UN referendum. And Russia would oppose it. But we have the other way around. This suggests ethnic Ukrainians are no more than 40 percent and Russians are 60 plus.
    1
  43.  @Noamchomsky1917  Census in 2001 was a LONG time ago. Why not have a UN referendum??? Both sides move troops out, UN move in, all people whom lived in Donbas 6 months before the war are eligible to vote. Super fair. Russia is 100% for this. Ukraine is not. Me think the actual voting would leave Ukraine without Donbass ;)))

  44. They are in the air over international waters.

  45.  @winstonmaraj8029  Piolsudski would certainly deal hard with Russia but would immediately kick out half of US diplomats as well. He would also snake around between Russia and German. Going from one to the other. Certainly there would be little thought of any wars.

  46.  Betty Swallocks  What do you mean? Russia is super close - it has fully liberated Lugansk and Donetsk is almost there, matter of time only. Since Russia achieved most of its objectives and will achieve remaining objectives soon it has won the war.
    1
  47.  Betty Swallocks  How can the territory revert to Ukraine if people of that land do not want Ukraine there? This implies same as in Afghanistan, Ukraine loss. US, Soviets as well as UK lost in Afghanistan b/c people of Afghanistan did not want them to be there and fought hard to kick them out. Same is true in Ukraine, Kiev regime will loose as people of Donbass do not want them there! So you are proving that Ukraine will loose! Suck it up!

  48.  @bonnie7898  Exactly, hence most countries do something called "compromise". This is not what Ukraine did - its either the way of Bandera or death. Well, that was not exactly liked by Russian minority....

  49. Well, I hope they get released on streets of Mariupol. If they can walk to Kiev they are free.

  50.  @siralexis6590  Why would US "protect" smaller nations for free? Its "protection" is same as Russian protection of say Tajikistan from China - its just a sphere of control.
