  1.  @onestepbeyond5221  What is Russia doing in Ukraine that's worse than what NATO countries did in Serbia, Syria, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan? Have a read of the Edward Snowden revelations about how the American military behaves and tell me Russia so much worse. Outside of the West the rest of the world looks at all this and thinks the West is hypocritical.

  2. The Russians are closing in around Kupyansk on near the north of the front and have repelled the Ukrainian attempts to advance around Bakhmut to both north and south, isn't significant enough to be worth mentioning? It was certainly significant enough to mention Bakhmut a couple of weeks back when the Ukrainians looked like they were making progress.

  3.  @philipmain5701  LOL RT has been censored, apparently we can't be trusted to watch it. Even though we live in a "free" democracy.

  4.  @jockumt7063  The Russian deficit is smaller than the UK deficit even though they're fighting a major war. Their national debt is pretty small. Their economy is growing, ours is not. After the war is over, a lot of that military spending is going to go towards rebuilding eastern Ukraine. They're the world's biggest primary resource supplier. Yes that spending does look pretty sustainable.

  7. Big words from someone who doesn't appear to realise Russia has more nuclear weapons than any other country in the world.

  9.  @hazalnut8647  At the height of their counter offensive, Ukraine is actually losing more territory than they're winning. It's all downhill for Ukraine from here on. Russian recently opened up their own offensive in the north and it looks very heavy. Check some neutral sources like Defense Politics Asia, Military Summary, History Legends, Theti Mapping, Weeb Union.

  10.  @imperius1158  It's a war of attrition. Unimportant areas of land changing hands is irrelevant especially relatively small chunks of land changing hands. Ukraine is running out of support, running out of time and most importantly, running out of men.

  11. Just like he said over and over Ukraine joining NATO was a red line and on 22nd Feb 2022, Kamala Harris said Ukraine should join NATO and over the next few days, Putin did nothing? oh wait...

  13.  @eddietat95  Military experience is irrelevant, criminals aren't going to go back to their home towns to call in artillery or practice their battle drills the local population. Anyway many countries have done similar to this including Britain and America.

  14.  @northleedspoppa  That's BS, check for yourself we have career criminals on the street after over 100 convictions. Even murderers tend to be released after a so called life sentence. Most murderers in Britain don't die in prison. There about a dozen murders EVERY YEAR in Britain by murderers who have served time for a previous murder but have since been released from prison. For example, google Cherylee Shennan, Quyen Hgoc Nguyen, Lisa Skidmore and Robert Hind. Until the war this kind of thing didn't happen in Russia.

  19. Both sides lie, so do the US and UK governments. But there's geolocation of Russians back at the border with smashed up Ukrainian vehicles.

  20. All that money that gets paid in extra tariffs gets paid to our own government and ultimately, recycled back into the economy through extra spending or offsetting other taxes. For the country overall, it's really not a problem. For a net importer like UK, tariffs will help get our trade balance in order and in the long run, create more jobs than they destroy.

  21.  @ryanfraser167  Well we might not like what the government spends money on and some spending helps the economy more than other spending but nevertheless, almost all of this money (other than say foreign aid and the like) gets recycled within the British economy. The point is that tariffs are not money lost to the economy like a lot of people seem to assume. If the state raises six billion in tariffs then it can afford to lower other taxes by six billion. Or lower the deficit by six billion. Or whatever. Tariffs are basically consumption tax like VAT. So a reasonably fair and economically efficient tax especially compared to say income tax.

  22.  @Joe-og6br  It won't be a stalemate. Ukraine will run out of manpower and equipment and it's already destroyed economically. Morale is already starting to fail. Russia is just fighting a patient attrition war, it's not cheap for Russia but it's affordable, Russia can keep this up for however long it takes and it's not actually losing a lot of men. That's not to say Russia will drive all the way to the Polish border because Putin doesn't want to start WWIII but when the peace deal is finally agreed, not even Sky News will be able to pretend it wasn't a Russian victory.

  25. And likewise, don't imagine Western air defence can stop more than a fraction of what's sent in a mass attack. We've seen the failure of even the legendary Patriot in Kiev destroyed not by an expensive hypersonic missile but by a cheap drone.

  26.  @rockyrowlands3652  Another parallel is like the German spearheads in 1944, the Ukrainians are vulnerable to the enemy's superior air force out in the open. It's obvious the gamble was to take the Kursk nuclear plant in the first few days. Now that has failed, it's senseless to continue pouring reserves into taking some border villages.

  27. If NATO "steps up" then there will be a needless suffering of billions of more people in a nuclear war.

  29.  @RaRa-eu9mw  There's no evidence whatsoever the Russians intend to attack Poland or Finland in fact the idea is preposterous. The Russians have been warning for decades that Ukraine should not join NATO. Both the post Maidan coup government and the Americans pushed Ukraine towards NATO deliberately to provoke the Russians. Now we see how it has backfired because Putin wasn't bluffing.

  30. @@rorykinahan The European increase in armaments manufacturing is mainly imaginary. The European economy is severely impaired by this war mainly because of higher energy prices. NATO unity is illusory, Poland and the Baltics want to escalate, France and Germany want to deescalate, Turkey wants to play both sides for concessions. The USA actually bombed its so called NATO ally's pipeline to the cheapest gas in Europe. Like much else in the West, NATO unity is a fraud.

  31.  @MrMezmerized  No the difference is, Russia is not sending conscripts - Ukraine is. So yes, they both have a manpower problem but Ukraine is fighting a total war, Russia is still fighting with a peacetime army. The Ukrainian economy is collapsing, the Russian state is running a budgetary surplus.

  32. The problem with that logic is fighting Hitler destroyed Europe. And that's before the availability of nuclear weapons.

  33. None .. but Zelensky is desperate to drag in NATO and a false flag might work

  34.  @Flornmonk  Sure... another wonder weapon. Russian SAMs will make flying F16 suicidal.

  35.  @michael_dugan  The Russians have huge forces they haven't even committed yet. Presumably they will once the ground dries out and hardens up. If they don't, the only possible explanation is they want to drag out the war.

  36. The people of Belgorod are now free from Ukrainians

  37.  @thegreatdane3627  In this case the Ukrainians outnumber the Russians. They have for the entire war. Russia is winning despite being outnumbered.

  38. I'd take that bet. Putin doesn't need to use nuclear weapons, he'll crush Ukraine militarily by the summer if they can even last that long with no gas and no electricity and insufficient ammunition and the huge casualties they've taken so far.

  39. If the Ukrainian Kharkov offensive round about a year into the war had not have been stopped by the Russian army the Russians were planning to use tactical nuclear weapons. So long as they have nothing to worry about the Russians won't use nuclear weapons. If they get in serious trouble they will. And what will the West do? Not a damn thing. Because nobody wants nuclear Armageddon. It's Ukraine which will pay the price.

  43. Not many people in Britain would survive a full scale nuclear war. Yes we need a hard reset but not that hard!

  44.  @opensizhe  The only way Russia can lose this war is if it becomes WWIII - in which case we all loose. Russia can mobilise a couple of million men if it really needs to. China is the world's biggest manufacturing country and China would supply Russia to prevent Russia losing if there were any possibility of that but Russia also has the option of using tactical nuclear weapons if it got worried. Supplying Ukraine is about limiting Russia's gains and bleeding Russia as much as possible. Nobody with a brain believes Ukraine can take Crimea or take Donetsk or whatever.

  45.  @fredbyoutubing  It's obvious the Ukrainians were going for the Kursk nuclear plant. The Russians captured orders confirming that. Now they're failed with that gamble, the question is, why are they doubling down?

  46.  russo-phobe  That's delusional. Everyone knows the Russians have air dominance. Zaluzhny claims the Russians have a ten to one artillery advantage, is he lying? And the Ukrainians are attacking which is generally much harder than defending. Only a complete moron would believe Russian casualties are higher let alone eight times higher. Go easy on the meth.

  47. Most Russians would survive, they have nuclear bunkers and the biggest land mass on earth. Luckily in Britain we also have nuclear bunks and our population is spread over a huge land mass too, right? right?

  48.  @jamesmason8944  Aye it's surreal these monkeys are cheer leading for war with Russia when half of the British population would be wiped out just in the first few days of a nuclear war to say nothing of the radiation and starvation afterwards. The Westminster circus are even more rabid than Washington even though Britain has got zero at stake in Ukraine either way. Ironically Russia with its huge area, spread out population and municipal fall out shelters would survive a nuclear war better than almost any Western country.

  50. Yeah it's hard to see what Western governments are trying to achieve here. It seems likely the German government has seen the light and wants to avoid antagonising the Russians any further.
