  1. It’s trying to look hard for the TV cameras.

  2. Indeed it’s hilarious. Russia literally cannot change direction.

  3. It’s more likely that 10 or fewer are actually usable. They are all at least 30 years old and spare parts are no longer made.

  4. That offer has already been made. A similar offer to the speaker has been acted upon.

  5. Hit the airbase near Caspian Sea being used to launch missiles and glide bombs.

  6. The contributors have more than enough time to expose any transmission time for any inconsistencies. Propaganda always falls over somewhere, yet this podcast never has. It’s up to listeners to choose.

  7. Flying bombs.

  8. Russia was forced to leave Kherson in near disarray. If that’s not a defeat, then what is it?

  9. Quote - 16% of the Russian army has been destroyed in Ukraine. Really? How do we know the actual number of Russian soldiers before the “operation” began? I suggest the total army is much smaller than we have been told. If the army really is huge, why has Putin used troops from Chechnya and Georgia to Manchuria to bolster his forces? Not to mention the droves of untrained conscripts press-ganged from Eastern Ukraine.

  10. We don’t know what is true about Trump. The media h@te him and distort everything about him. MAGA love him - he can do nothing wrong. Both ends are untrue.

  11. Look at the pattern. Obama/Biden got involved in Ukraine to control the gas pipeline. Obama/Biden stirred up wars in Syria to prevent a new gas pipeline being built. Obama/Biden (oops just Biden) totally botched the Afghanistan pullout. Obama/Biden has triggered the war in Ukraine to prevent Germany opening the Nordstream 2 pipeline (open it and we let Putin take the entirety of Ukraine) Next step, USA stands by while CCP invades Taiwan. We can bet nothing is being done to protect Taiwanese microchip technology.

  12. Probably about 3 miles is as far as these drones can fly.

  13. Yes Minister (1980s Comedy/Documentary) had running jokes about the Foreign Office. 40 years later, nothing has changed.
    2
  14. China says it has an electromagnetic catapult. How well does it work? How reliable is it?
    2
  15. Russian bots have no reply to Dom so insults will have to do.

  16. It looks like they are being washed down by the current.

  17. Russia basically micromanages its strike aircraft. Pilots do not fly to a plan and make their own decisions based on events. Losing their ground based and AWACS systems puts a severe crimp on this pyramid of operation.

  18. Hopefully Emanuel Macron wants to make up for his 2022 failures to see what Putin was doing. EU is a past master at slowly doing the minimum. Hopefully Macron can wake them up. Shultz certainly won’t. And the others just follow along.

  19. The Russian Tsars were inept by any standard but were governing genius compared to what followed. Communism/Socialism is the real malevolent force.

  20. I have a mid 1970s Japanese motorbike. Spare parts are still available in Japan for surprisingly reasonable prices. I would expect Mitsubishi L200 parts can be found from similar suppliers.

  21. The troll exposed by their failure to resist using Russian “data” that inflates Ukraine losses by 10x. They also transpose well-documented Russian failures onto Ukraine. Nice try but we’ve seen it all before.

  22. Frame by frame analysis of CCTV shows a boat moved under the bridge immediately before the explosion.

  23. If the destruction was that easy, it can happen again.

  24. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblast

  25. All in good time. But for now, Melitopol is a bit too far away.

  26. Russia seems to have an eggshell front line with very little to back it up.
    2
  27. Russia has been slow walking the grain ships inspections. Their pulling out is just another step up.
    2
  28. Ukraine is already using cheap drones as ammunition. Recent video shows one taking down a Russian drone.
    2
  29. Ukraine lands used to include Crimea and fully encircled the Sea of Azov. The language was spoken right over to Caspian Sea. Using Putin’s logic they could reasonably take back everything to River Don.
    2
  30. Putin is every bit the fascist as Hitler and indeed Stalin. There are superficial differences but fundamentally they are all the same philosophy.
    2
  31. The F-16 design is still at the top of its game because any issues have been ironed out.
    2
  32. Johnson is doing such a fantastic job we have to ask who is funding him. There is more going on than simply following the “Trump is always right” line.
    2
  33. It’s working fine on iPhone YT app.
    2
  34. It’s embarrassing to Russian trolls. Probably posted during Moscow office hours.
    2
  35. Drones don’t cause hidden troops to break cover. They actually do the opposite as people try to stay hidden.
    2
  36. In functional terms, there was no difference between European fascism and Russian Soviets. They are all versions of socialism where the state controls every detail of people’s lives. Orwell’s books described it perfectly.
    2
  37. Sounds like a great idea. The EU would be seriously P-d off.
    2
  38. Russia has already destroyed a few Abrams that wont be in Ukraine until October. Not to mention the five Patriot systems (Ukraine only has two, which have a scratch between them.
    2
  39. For the question about (current) population of Crimea not supporting Ukraine’s take-over. (1) Russian rule has been economically poor and brutal (2) People like Denys Davidov who comes from Sevastopol will tell us how the people feel.
    2
  40. We need Finland and everyone else sending Leopards and stuff Germany.
    2
  41. We need an updated opening jingle.
    2
  42. It would be good to see the Wagners getting hit by Ukraine. They might not be strategically relevant but they are dangerous thugs. Don’t let them escape too easily.
    2
  43. Austria brought us a certain corporal. He was second rate to Stalin but much the same level as Putin. No surprise that Austria won’t let go.
    2
  44. Ignoring clearly wrong information is also not helping. The public attitude to nuclear power is a good example. KGB/FSB has been extremely successful in collapsing the industry.
    2
  45. Would that be the windows with Startsky in the bottom left corner?
    2
  46. Denis Davidov (Ukraine commentator) thinks it’s unlikely that enough Russians will protest against Putin’s latest edict. They are just too brainwashed by the propaganda.
    2
  47. 13 MEPs voted against the EU sanctions against Assad. Hopefully they are all being checked out.
    2
  48. I’m recovering from surgery right now. But the late May bank holiday always feels like a genuine day off.
    2
  49. People who say Hunter Biden is corrupt are not “from the right”. They simply quote evidence from his laptop. Information that US Democrat Party and FBI are keeping under wraps.
    2
  50. France wants Ukraine kept out of the EU because their agricultural industry would dwarf anything France can do and effectively bankrupt the Common Agricultural Policy. Germany wants Ukraine kept out of the EU because their industrial innovation makes German industry look leaden and clumsy. German politics is clearly captured and compromised by Russia. KGB/FSB has the dirt on them.
