"Trapped" is Russia's situation in this war. They can't win it and they can't abandon it.

@songyotmaboon7941 Because of logistics and Lend Lease. Even before the United States entered World War II in December 1941, America sent arms and equipment to the Soviet Union to help it defeat the Nazi invasion. Totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today’s currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.” 400,000 jeeps & trucks 14,000 airplanes 8,000 tractors 13,000 tanks 1.5 million blankets 15 million pairs of army boots 107,000 tons of cotton 2.7 million tons of petrol products 4.5 million tons of food ☝️Can Putin compete against Lend Lease? No way! They just started the deal a few months ago and already Russia is stuck.

Russians thinking it isn't fair the US is helping Ukraine should look at the Budapest Memorandum. It specifically states that the US and UK are expected to guarantee Ukrainian sovereignty.

@songyotmaboon7941 Russia agreed to the following: Respect the signatory's independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.👈Broken Refrain from the threat or the use of force against the signatory.👈Broken Refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by the signatory of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.👈Broken Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".👈Broken every week! Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments.👈Russia was asked directly regarding their intentions towards Ukraine at two Security Council meetings. Russia lied!

@freetime5803 I did not discuss stockpiles at all. You did in a failed attempt to disprove what I said. Answer the question...Why is the supposedly number two ranked military attacking almost entirely in one spot only? No amount of mobilization will matter.

@songyotmaboon7941 The Budapest Memorandum was negotiated at political level, but it is not entirely clear whether the instrument is devoid entirely of legal provisions. It refers to assurances, but unlike guarantees, it does not impose a legal obligation of military assistance on its parties. According to Stephen MacFarlane, a professor of international relations, "It gives signatories justification if they take action, but it does not force anyone to act in Ukraine." Should I change it to "Assure Ukrainian sovereignty"? Since we are already doing it anyway, doesnt that count as a guarantee?

@margalef7003 You cannot beat Lend Lease. I gave permission a long time ago.

@GTfour01 How much have you left out? For example. All those attacks and hundreds of millions of dollars in "precision" cruise missles has contributed absolutely nothing to improving Russia's battlefield situation. This ends your claims of Ukrainian logistics problems right there. Lend Lease means that attacks on the energy grid do not effect the Ukrainian war effort. Criticizing something you do not understand the power of makes you look foolish. Ukraine received 100 armoured cars last week. How many did Russia make? Same goes for every other piece of equipment. What is Russia's battlefield situation On a scale of one to ten? Ten being you have captured 6000km² of territory and liberated 1600 settlements since September.😎

@trevorcrook5753 Oh I am. I have not been wrong once so far. 400,000 trucks the USA gave to Russia in WW2. They needed them. Watch and learn.

@ryanvagen4702 Yeah just sit there with that dumb look on your face.

@freetime5803 Yes they do. Mathematically proven. You can check it yourself. A 152mm shell weighs 51.2kg. Powder charge weighs 13kg. They can fire 5 of these per minute. 64.2kgx5=321kg per minute. 19,260kg per hour. Russian trucks can carry 6000kg. Three trucks per hour per gun. That does not include transportation of anything else. No rockets, food, small arms ammo. Just 152mm. How many 152mm artillery pieces does Russia have? A lot. Add to the equation the threat of HIMARS on anything within 70kms. Making each trip including loading and unloading a three to four hour round trip. Russia has NEVER planned for or prepared for attacks on their supply lines. Therefore they only built just enough. Zero redundancy. Russia is attacking in Backmut only. Why?

@ButlerProspect You cannot even describe a Russian victory. Nevermind claim one. What does a Russian victory look like? No such thing is possible for Russia.

@freetime5803 Russia was not an industrial nation in World War 2. They could not build a tank or truck to save their lives.

@trevorcrook5753 Where did they get the steel to build the tanks? Yes that is right the USA. Millions of of steel plates. There was not much fighting in the west before D-Day. This accounts for the difference. The "Patriotic War" was a great US victory achieved by proxy through their puppet Russia.

@rrs_13 You are under the false assumption that this is anywhere near the maximum level of power from Ukraine. Last February they had a max range of 40kms and no precision anything. Now there range is much further and the accuracy is down to one meter. Logistics win wars. Russia received 440,000 trucks and jeeps in WW2 because that is how many you need for good logistics. Russia is poised for nothing. They cannot move. Whatever offensive they mount they will not be able to maintain. Go look at Bakmut from the Ukrainian point of view. They have Russia right where they want them. Russian Forces have stopped using armour in attacks. Too many anti tank weapons...Russia is sending human waves only. Multiple sources for this information. From soldiers to commanders to ISW and embedded press. Nobody cares what Russia or their fans say about a proxy war. Shame on Russia for letting themselves get played. Have you complained at them yet for that? Complain all you want to me about how unfair it is when ATACMS arrive. I will be happy to listen.

@rstefan1821 Did you actually go read about it? They hardly lost anything in the transportation of material. Perhaps you need to see the list again...

Totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today’s currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.” 400,000 jeeps & trucks 14,000 airplanes 8,000 tractors 13,000 tanks👈 1.5 million blankets 15 million pairs of army boots 107,000 tons of cotton 2.7 million tons of petrol products 4.5 million tons of food Russia has already lost. They are just so big and slow they haven't realized it yet. Ukraine received hundreds of millions of aid every week. Russia will not be able to keep up.

@AndRei-yc3ti Okay whatever lol? The USSR made the final payment in 1989. Here is why Russia needed the US Lend lease. During the first 6 months of the invasion, German forces managed to occupy or isolate territory which prior to WWII accounted for over 60% of total coal, pig iron, and aluminum production. Nearly 40% of total grain production and 60% of total livestock was lost. Moreover, this area contained 40% Soviet population before the war, 32% of the state enterprise labor force, and one-third of the fixed capital assets of the state enterprise sector. The sheer speed of the German advance meant that any Soviet evacuation efforts were troublesome. As result of the German invasion of World War II, the Economy of the Soviet Union suffered punishing blows, with Soviet GDP falling 34% between 1940 and 1942. Industrial output did not recover to its 1940 level for almost a decade. It is the "American Patriotic War" let's face facts here. Lend lease won Russia the last war. It will cause Russia to lose this one. This is a certainty.

@AndRei-yc3ti Stalin thinks otherwise and he was there. Incidentally 85% of ALL casualties were Russian. 85%! They DO NOT KNOW how to fight. They never did in WW2 and they don't now either. It has become an inside joke for us, how Russia is struggling on the battlefield, using 1940 tactics and all we hear on YouTube comments is "Ukraine is paying a heavy price."🤔For doing what? Russian troops do the same foolish things over and over. 🤷‍♂️ Casualties cannot be verified accurately and Russian MoD knows this. Russian land gains have not been reported. Those are harder to fake than casualty reports.

@larrycera1943 It is not laughable. It is the actual account. Russia has embellished the second world war over many year into a Patriotic symbol. The West has no such interest in the event other than reporting the details. I would not bother with the Russian account for anything other than entertainment value. By Russia's own casualty reports, they had eighty five percent of total casualties.🤷‍♂️ THEY did sacrifice their people in the early going. Thst was ALL they had until USA saved them. After the war, the USA allowed Russia to keep whatever equipment they wanted. Russia would pay back ten cents on every dollar. A ninety percent discount. Russia returned only a few transport ships. Kept all the tractors and trucks. This helped Russia get growing food and moving their economy. Russia has never known how to use or how to supply an army. They still don't and it shows. I read everything I see. Do you?

@AndRei-yc3ti WHY would Russia perpetuate that quote? There are multiple witnesses to him saying it. I don't care bro. Keep your fake dream that Russia is anything to be proud of. Lend Lease is a foreign concept not taught in Russian schools. Why?
