  1.  @mrdumbfellow927  I think he means bombing ethnic Russians - which is true. No, Ukraine was definitely not bombing Russia itself.

  2. And people still claim it's a defensive alliance.

  3. LOL, Sweden faces invasion but it's not from an enemy army and it's assisted by the Swedish government.

  4. How can you seriously believe it's 50/50 who is winning? Ukrainian casualties are much higher and it's a much smaller, weaker country. Ukraine is struggling to replace manpower, Russia is not. Ukraine is burning its reserves, Russia is building up reserves. It's blindingly obvious who is winning.

  5. Why would Russia risk stopping at the four oblasts when there's the likelihood that anything they don't take now becomes an enemy again later? Why would they want to risk enemy nuclear weapons being stationed closer to Moscow than they can avoid? Now the Ukrainian army is starting to break and Russia can make further gains at acceptable cost, it seems likely to me Russia will want everything east of the Dniepr, even just for their own future security.

  6.  @colincampbell4261  Nah look at the outrageous bombing of Serbia. Britain was cheer leading. Norway was cheer leading. The USA is just the biggest, it's not always the most aggressive.

  7.  @DzIVDzAN  The one you got wrong there is Nordstream. The Ukrainians, specifically Zaluzhny got scapegoated by the people who really blew it up - and they can't complain about their main donor. Seymour Hersh described it nicely.

  8. It still does. He still thinks this war is going to fizzle out in a stalemate. Whereas every day Russia gets stronger, Ukraine gets weaker. The First World War didn't end in a stalemate, although both sides got exhausted one side cracked first. Likewise, this war.

  9.  @Feffro  Britain recently sprinted past both of them in the worst government competition.

  10. Western support for Ukraine is dropping off - even if the USA picks it up again it's still down on what it was especially in artillery ammo the most important category. And Ukraine has used up willing recruits. I seriously doubt Ukraine can last another year.

  11. They do it to push through stuff which wouldn't stand up on its own merits.

  12. Yeah I believe Russia took higher casualties in the first month of the war because Ukraine ambushed their supply lines. Since then Ukrainian casualties have been higher overall for sure, in the past two months, much higher. Probably several times higher. We've all seen videos of these failed attacks where dozens of vehicles have been destroyed and defenceless infantry platoons get shelled in the open.

  13.  @giovanni-ed7zq  You're selectively quoting Prigozhin to pick out the bits of what he said which suit your narrative. Also why would you trust anything Prigozhin said at all? It;s obvious he had his own agenda, undermining Gerasimov and Shoigu.

  14. Paul from Combat Veteran Reacts is a clown who cherry picks facts to create a fantasy narrative..

  15.  @Chaezaa  NATO/the US ignores the UN when it suits. For example there's no UN mandate for US troops in Syria where the Syrian gov. doesn't want them. The UN says Israel should leave the occupied West Bank and Golan Heights (stolen from Syria) but NATO supports Israel. The UN doesnt' recognise Kosovo as a separate country from Syria but the US does and some other NATO countries. This is the US "rules based order"

  16. Oryx has been shown to classify Ukrainian losses as Russian, inflate Russian losses, count duplicates as multiple losses and ignore Ukrainian losses. When challenged about this, one of the Oryx founders said we just don't have enough time to improve quality. Which is maybe true but the bias does seem to be all in one direction. Realistically, if Oryx were accurate, Russia would no longer be able to make the armoured gains it makes now every day.

  17.  @strawdemindset  You're basically saying these people could have left their homeland and moved somewhere else. Why should they? They've been there for two hundred years. They had their country, they had a president they elected, they didn't ask for a foreign sponsored coup by radical nationalists kicking out the democratically elected president and imposing their own agenda, passing laws against their own language, occupying cities like Donetsk and Mariupol like an invading army. Look up the footage from 2014 of the Ukrainian army entering Mariupol in APCs

  18.  @Scythical  That's just because YouTube pushes what you watch. I watch Military Summary, Weeb Union, History Legends, DPA and yes, YouTube recommends that kind of stuff to me but at a certain point, I stopped watching stuff like Peter Zeihan, Ryan McBeth, Telegraph, Times Radio, Combat Veteran Reacts and some of the ridiculous Ukrainian guys like Starsky (if I got his name right) because they were so obviously useless propaganda. But even though I unsubscribed and even downvoted particular videos, YouTube still recommends them to me from time to time. It's obvious YouTube gives an advantage to pro-Ukraine voices. If you're not familiar already, have a look at Matt Taibbi's work on exposing the influence of the US government in Twitter - before Musk took over.

  19.  @OWnIshiiTrolling  As soon as someone calls Russians orcs it's an immediate sign he's full of shit :)

  20.  @elKarlo  Even worse, if they'd honoured Minsk II in the first place and stopped that crazy talk about acquiring nuclear weapons and joining NATO, this war would never have happened at all. Zelensky was elected on a platform of reconciliation with Russia but the nationalist extremists threatened him and he backed down.

  21. This entire interview is this Georgian guy boasting and slagging off the Russians. You have to take that into account.

  22. Ukraine has lots of main problems!

  23.  @tombombadil8709  European economic health is not great as you say but even worse is European democratic health. Political leaders have never been as unpopular in the entire post WWII period as now.

  24.  @NickyDekker89  I disagree it's not about the land. This particular land is relatively close to Moscow and other important Russian cities so it's dangerous for Russia to leave it under control of a country radically hostile to Russia. It's potentially very valuable economically. And it's populated by people who speak Russian. So the land is important, it's worth fighting a longer war for. Of course it's also about preventing Ukraine from joining NATO. I don't think Russia is going to accept any kind of peace where Ukraine joins NATO at all unless all that's left of Ukraine is the north west. I think we're going to see a major move on Kharkov before this war is over. And cities like Kharkov, Sumy and certainly Slavyansk could quite well return to Russia.

  25. Nobody would sign a deal to ban drones. You can ban gas because it's not that useful militarily - in WWI only about 1% of the fatalities were from gas. But you can't ban something which is militarily essential. Or if you do ban it, the ban will be ignored. Both sides are using flamethrowers in Ukraine and thermobaric explosives aren't too different from flamethrowers anyway.

  26. AP is now saying 200k.

  27. Putin never said anything about invading NATO land, it's NATO which has been pushing eastward. What Putin did say many times over and over was that NATO joining Ukraine was a red line. If he hadn't been ignored this war need never have happened.

  28.  @theaviator06  Canada is way, way colder than this part of Ukraine.

  29. The only exception is deep under the Carparthians. Could be they'll build huge caves there like the Iranians built underground weapons factories safe from US conventional weapons. Wouldn't be cheap though and hard to see how Ukrainian resources are going to stretch to that given all their other difficulties.

  30. This war didn't start on October 7 and the vast majority of the people who are dying are not Hamas.

  31. China's manufacturing output exceeds the USA's and Europe's put together. At the end of the Second World War, the USA had half of the world's manufacturing output just on its own but those days are long gone. As for depleted uranium - it definitely causes huge health problems. Look into Fallujah where birth defects and still births went through the roof. Also much higher in Serbia after NATO used DU there. The main problem is the chemical toxicity, not the radioactivity.

  32. ​ @dementesf  You might be giving these clowns more credit than they deserve. Boris Johnson, Joe Biden, Ursula Van Der Leyen, Zelensky himself, these are not serious people.

  33.  @scubaspears  Yes there is definitely in breeding in Iraq but you can compare the rate of still births before and after and the rate of birth defects. Also compare Falluja with Iraq overall. There is also evidence from Serbia where NATO used D.U and inbreeding is not a factor. So yes there is hard statistical evidence.

  34. AFTER the Ardennes offensive turned out as unsuccessful as the Ukrainian 2023 summer offensive.

  35. This has happened over and over in history, if you're Greek, surely you've read the Melian Dialogue?

  36.  @Leiska86  I don't question Europe's willingness to support Ukraine, I question its ability. Actual money is insufficient and there just isn't the industrial capacity for stuff like artillery ammunition and SAMs. As for Russia, even if support drops, it has a long long way to go before there's a serious problem replacing losses. Look at Mediazona tracking Russian deaths, Russian losses aren't actually that high compared to say the Bakhmut battle. Russian men were reluctant to go to Ukraine when there was a shortage of men and it was highly dangerous to be a Russian soldier covering an undermanned line. The situation now is completely different. Yes the Storm Z guys have a short life expectancy but the typical soldiers have a very good chance of coming back in one piece with a bulging bank account.

  37. Disagree, Russia will require a lot of territory and constitutional changes in Ukraine but will not require an unconditional surrender because Russia needs to contain the war, avoid panicking NATO countries and going all the way to Lvov would be very difficult for Russia even though they're winning the war decisively. Few wars end in unconditional surrender like the Second World War, most end in negotiations and this one will too.

  38.  @giovanni-ed7zq  Eighty years ago, a large Western country went down the road of dehumanising and underestimating the Russians. They called them Untermenschen rather than orcs but the meaning is similar. It didn't end well for that large Western country. If you're Italian as your name suggests, you should have learned a few lessons from that war too.

  39. The Ukraine that eventually joins NATO might be a lot smaller than the Ukraine of 2024 :) Seriously, if Russia goes as far as Odessa, it probably doesn't care anymore if Galicia joins NATO.

  40.  @Ungood-jl5ep  facts are facts and I've shown you why you're wrong. No mental gymnastics necessary. Also check out medical studies on places where DU has been used particularly Falluja. It's pretty awful. Still births and birth defects through the roof.

  41.  @Ungood-jl5ep  LOL I provided some facts which show some of what you said is indisputably wrong and you don't know what you're talking about. For example you said "It is radioactive, but only beta emissions." You're wrong. Cope harder.

  42. LOL yeah nobody knows, Willy should really be calling this out.

  43. That goes for both sides. Before the war Ukraine was owned by oligarchs and the ordinary people had nothing. After the war Ukraine will be split between Blackrock and Russia and the ordinary people will be even poorer than before the war started.

  44.  @teddypicker6969  That's a pretty dumb take, a victory in a war of attrition is when one side loses the will or the ability to continue, not when a particular town is taken. It doesn't matter that Bakhmut is pretty far down the league in size, what matters is the resources expended to attack and defend it.

  45. And another billion dollars thanks

  46.  @schepvogelk5971  Yes Russia is losing a lot of men but the only hard evidence we have as to numbers (Mediazona) shows that Russian fatalities are much lower now compared to earlier in the war while their gains in territory are much higher. Given the Russian government has already paid a high price so far, it doesn't seem plausible they will refuse to pay a much lower price to continue now they're making gains. It's like suggesting the Allies should have made peace with Germany in January 1945 to save casualties. No, if the only consideration was saving casualties they would have done it in 1941.

  48.  @rezcon  The main problem is alpha radiation which is a huge problem if ingested - as it will be if farmland is sprayed with uranium particles. And it won't just disappear after a few years. Radiation is not the only problem, the chemical toxicity is (apparently) a greater health risk than the radiation. There are hundreds of academic papers published on this, there's not really a debate to be had about whether it's dangerous. Saying it's not dangerous is as incorrect as saying smoking is not dangerous.

  49. ​ @Leiska86  Europe is in severe economic trouble. If Europe had a dictator like that, Europe would have a revolution. It's already having minor revolutions as it is. Money isn't everything. Saudi Arabia has plenty of money but it still has a well funded military which most neutral commentators regard with derision. Furthermore, nominal exchange rates are highly misleading. The US economy for example still has a strong dollar but seems to be heading for a financial collapse given its huge deficit spending.

  50. Ukraine doesn't need to stop but if it wants to survive, it needs to negotiate. Every day, Ukraine gets weaker and loses more men. It's not about what's fair it's about common sense. Every day the war continues is a bad day for Ukraine.
