Comments by "Stephen47 22" (@Stephen-bq4nq) on ""Fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, But..."| Why Putin's War Has Jolted Ukraine's "Foreign Fighters"" video.

@syahir7494 no those tanks arn't destroying modern western equipment the damage is being done by artillery and air power
11
What was left out of this video is foreign fighters talking about how the best weapons are given to the Ukrainian and the foreign fighters get what's left. Western soldiers have fought in the past disadvantaged in firepower and they withstood heavy artillery bombardments because they were fighting with their own people for their own countries the motivation was a lot higher.
11
@wongiemanda3827 he left because he was close to 40 years old and had built a life for himself at home that he didn't want to give up for Ukraine. It's different when you're fighting for your own country

@idomalion6167 what a joke the Taliban merged in with the civilian population and used IED to target Western forces avoiding direct engagements for the most part and making it a battle of time which was always on the side of the Taliban. The Russians have been embarrassed in Ukraine their logistics are a joke,their inability to fight with combined arms having tanks driving around by themselves,one of their best ships sunk by two sub sonic anti ship missiles,failure to get air supremecy when they out numbered their opponent 10-1 in the air The Russian artillery isn't superior to western artillery you put the same number of western artillery and MLRS on the battlefield as the Russians have the Russian artillery will get trashed

@dab0331 the star wars rebels didn't murder woman for wanting to go to school

The Iraqi did have artillery,tanks, airpower but it got wiped out

@ishouldbesleeping1354 yes I saw the video he nearly got killed because of those idiots and they never even gave him a snipers rifles from memory
5
@johnnyappleswope1821 There's plenty of footage of them fighting bravely I've seen and they were in visual range of the Russians not like the clown in the video who admitted he never even saw one. The Canadian sniper said why he left he was with a couple of Ukrainian soldiers he told them not to light up a cigarette and they did and a tank fired on them and killed them and nearly got him too. He also was never even given a snipers rifle they struggled to get weapons and transport. The whole story is in a video on this channel you should read it before you run your mouth. A lot of people are on here using what one clown said about the western soldiers in his company to smear all western soldiers because it suits their own personal agenda.

@idomalion6167 plenty of Russians have been captured as well and talking about the land mass they have captured is a cope. The Russians never imagined the war would still be going at this point or the casualties they have taken. The Ukrainian were trained by the west but a lot of their equipment was old russian tech most of their artillery was old and out ranged by the Russian guns and the Russians had more ammunition. They also had cruise missiles and a far stronger air force. The only reason the Russians have been able to make any gains is through their superiority over the Ukrainian in artillery. If the Ukrainian had the same artillery and airpower as the Russians it wouldn't even be a contest Russia would get smashed

@bgdabg6769 the war isn't near an end.

@evanferrao1090 time kicked the Americans out of Afghanistan they had been there 20 years how long were they supposed to stay
3
Actually plenty of western soldiers didn't turn tail and run they are still there fighting hard and effectively.

@dab0331 No one clown running his mouth on the video said Western soldiers were cowards and how do you know he wasn't a coward. The Afgans use to feed false information to US forces to get airstrikes called in on other Afgans to settle scores You also seem to conveniently ignore all the afgans shot and bombed to death by the Taliban. Throughout the history of warfare soldiers of all ethnicities have struggled under the strain of artillery fire and this war is no different and that includes Ukrainians and Russians. The Taliban hid behind civilians while using IED so many US veterans said they hardly ever saw a Taliban they were doing sneaky hit and run attacks and using civilians as shields so the US couldn't use their heavy firepower. The Taliban fought that way because they had to but it doesn't take balls to lay an IED The ultimate weapon the Taliban used was time they new the US couldn't stay their forever so they avoided direct confrontation and waited them out and that doesn't take balls..
2
@dab0331 Clown do you think typing in upper case makes your argument stronger? It doesn't so don't bother doing it.
2
@agapp11able Western forces are trained for all types of warfare they don't just train for insurgency operations
2
@johnnyappleswope1821 the Russians should have stayed home
2
@abdulrashidabang5583 the Taliban have decades of experience and they use draganov snipers rifles,belt fees machine guns, RPG and IED.

@goranvuksa1220 seriously you use 1 tank engagement to make your argument 🤦🤡. The large majority of tank losses are still from drones, mines, artillery. The T72 has a 125mm cannon if it can get into a good firing position and get off the first shot there is always a chance of getting a kill but it rarely happens.
1
@goranvuksa1220 funny you must have missed all the Russian armoured vehicles with hatches left open. The T90 have been getting destroyed as well and you know one got dealt to by Bradley IFV. Winning a tank engagement isn't just about the tank it's about the skill of the crew putting the tank in the right place. When the US crewed Abrams went up against T72 they wiped them out..
1
@goranvuksa1220 keep coping 🤡 all the interviews with Ukrainian crews they love the vehicles. That T90 got wreaked by those Bradley it lost control of the turret it was spinning around and around and the tank drove into a tree. The US crews receive way more training than what the Ukrainian crews receive that's why in desert storm they slaughtered the T72..
1
@goranvuksa1220 your just coping the crews have no reason to lie the crew survivability has been proven. The T90 got trashed I watched the video the turret was spinning out of control and the tank hit a tree and the crew bailed out. The T72 that the republican guard divisions used were still in good condition they were Saddam's main divisions. The US crew training means everything being able to fully utilize your tank and work alongside other tanks is what enables you to get into good firing positions and win engagements. No US personnel are serving in those Abrams tanks and the tanks have had all the lastest armour packages and other sensitive equipment stripped out before they were sent over so they basically a standard Abrams from the 1980's. There are no British or German crews in the challenger and leopard tanks either..
1
@goranvuksa1220 the fact you keep making excuses for the T90 when the Bradley video is there for all to see strips you of any credibility. That T90 got it's ass kicked by two Bradley IFV. There are no NATO soldiers in the tanks. The US in Vietnam won every major battle but lost the war politically because the public didn't support it the fighting ability of the US forces wasn't the issue and on top of that the only way to win that war was to send forces to Hanoi and take out the communist regime but the US government wouldn't put ground forces into North Vietnam so the war never had any chance of being won. The Vietnamese had a conventional military which was equipped with the latest Russian equipment and they had the Viet Kong insurgents they weren't just some guys running around with AK-47. In Afghanistan like everyone else who goes there the US were able to take the cities and push the Taliban out of power but that doesn't mean you control the country. They were never able to turn the Afgan army into a self sustaining self led fighting force because so many of them were drug users, illiterate and corruption was rife it's part of their culture and unfortunately for the Americans the success or failure of the Afgan national army was going to decide the outcome of the operation. The Taliban could hide in the civilian population and retreat to Pakistan if they needed to they avoided major direct confrontations and just used time as a weapon waiting the US out because they knew they would have to leave the country at some point. If the Afgan army stood up and defended the country by themselves the US could leave and consider the operation a success if the Afgan army fell over the Taliban would sweep back into power and everything would be lost. The outcome of the war was always going to be decided by the success or failure of the Afgan national army so the US were foolish putting themselves in that situation. As for the intensity of the fighting in Ukraine no country has experienced that level of war since the Korean war 1950-1953 and that includes Russia. The Iraqi military in 1991 was still well funded at that time it hadn't been ground down by the sanctions that were put in place after the invasion of Kuwait. As far as tanks go the way you over exaggerate the loss of the Abrams and down play the loss of the T90 shows how object you are. The Abrams that were sent to Ukraine have been stripped of the latest armour protection and other sensitive equipment and don't have the trophy active defense system either so the tank is basically a standard version of the Abram that was fielded in the 1980's and with the quality of the anti tank missiles systems that are on the battlefield these days plus the drones it makes the tank more vulnerable. All the tanks have powerful cannon of 120mm the T72 is 125mm so they all have the potential to knock each other out it comes down to who can get into the best position and get off the first shot even a T55 with a 100mm cannon could knock out a Abram if it could flank it and shoot into its side where the armour is thinner. Tank battles aren't just about the quality of the tank it's about the tactical skills of the crew putting themselves in the best position. Without an active defense system that can intercept missiles and drones before they hit the tank no tank will have a good chance of surviving on a modern battlefield the Ukraine war has shown it and it has also been demonstrated in Syria and Yemen.

@timoftecatalin8357 The Bradley's still kicked ass they were well handled in that engagement. They have also destroyed russian tanks in Ukraine with their TOW missiles and are very effective at destroying Russian IFV and attacking trench systems so they've been a good all around vehicle for the Ukrainian forces
1
@timoftecatalin8357 🤡🤡🤡🤡..
1
@timoftecatalin8357 bye 🤡🤡.
1
@timoftecatalin8357 Bye bye go have a cry.
1
@EckRD bullshit the forces the Russians were facing over the last 30 years were no better trained or equipped than the forces western countries have faced
1
@hercg1967 bullsh.t if NATO went into Ukraine it would be world war three with two nuclear powers facing each other. It's the nukes that stop NATO not russian conventional force.
1
@Bawdale NATO would crush Russia in a conventional fight the Russian artillery wouldn't have the freedom to operate like they do against Ukraine. Take out Russia's artillery they wouldn't be doing sh.t in Ukraine
1
@Bawdale you're a dreamer Russian artillery is not ahead of western tech the only reason they're having success against Ukraine is weight of fire for every shell the Ukrainian fire they get 10 to 20 back and they also have dominance in the air The Ukrainian military doesn't have 600,000 men ready to fight.
1
@hercg1967 Iraq had russian artillery,tanks,airpower but it all got destroyed
1
@hercg1967 the Iraqi had t72 tanks which are comparable to Ukrainian tanks and they had the same types of artillery and MLRS. The US launched a proper air bombardment something the Russians weren't capable off and the US advanced through Iraq at good speed and you didn't see the logistics issues the Russians has The Russians in the Donbas have a huge advantage in Artillery which is allowing them to grind their way forward. Without the artillery they wouldn't be getting anywhere
1
@hercg1967 no Russia doesn't control the skies the Israeli still fly missions and in a war the Russian SAM systems would be attacked with HARM missiles and drones and systematically knocked out. Decoy drones would also be used to get the Russian missile batteries to expend their ammunition. Israel doesn't fly the F22
1
@davidbriggs8863 Bullshit they never had the numbers of soldiers in the country to control a landmass that big. The last 18 months of the war they hadn't even taken any casualties. The Taliban just used time to win the war avoiding major battles instead laying IED and hiding in the civilian population till the US left and they use the same tactics with everyone they have faced including Russia. The way they left was down to Joe Biden he ordered it the military weren't allowed the soldiers on the ground to garrison Kabu city or Bagram airbase he ordered all forces to Kabul airport creating the situation that unfolded.
1
@Y_hass bullsh.t you 🤡🤡
1
@chrisnettos4749 what garbage the Russians logistics is a joke and there tactics are to bludgeon their opponent with artillery while they break through their flanks and threaten then with encirclement. Any modern military can do that
1
@larsbee no they didn't get 8 years of military aid when the war broke out most of their equipment was russian
1
@bgdabg6769 no they didn't enter because they didn't need to.
1
@larsbee no don't watch it
1
 @Random-rt5ec Russia is bogged down in a war with no end in sight and NATO hasn't committed anywhere near all it's capabilities.😂🤡.
1
 @Ceocanin So did the Russians 🤡🤡
1
Yep plenty of Russians have been wounding themselves to try and get out of there. War is hell
1
Give the Ukrainian the same airpower and artillery as the Russians then see how tough the Russians are The Ukrainian will wipe the floor with them
1
@derraincorporation5586 no he's not lying 🤡 this is an artillery war most of the people being killed arn't seeing the person that kills them
1
The guy in the video running his mouth calling other people cowards who do we know he wasn't one.
1
Yeah imagine if the Ukraine had the same artillery how tough would the Russians be then
1
@kennethkilleen8758 you forgot about the IED
1
@warriorshedge6772 I guessing you have experience riding around in Humvees that can be obliterated by IED and searching houses room by room knowing someone could be in there with a gun or suicide belt waiting to kill you
1
@basook6116 bullshit the Russians have major artillery advantage and airpower otherwise they wouldn't be doing shit in the Ukraine
1
Yes it would certainly be different if the Ukrainian had the same artillery and air power as Russia. The Russians would have been out of Ukraine already
1
Critical Slayer being under artillery fire fighting for a country that isn't yours is a whole lot different to fight for your own country
1
Critical Slayer clown I have seen plenty of footage of western soldiers fighting in Ukraine and being very brave. The guy is this video calling people cowards how do you know he isn't one
1
Yanks R EVIL your name says it all 🤡 Americans have shown on battle fields throughout history they arn't cowards. Plenty of Americans are still on the front lines fighting
1
Yanks R EVIL funny there are still plenty of Americans on the front line so laugh all you want 🤡
1
Yanks R EVIL I'm not your son and times sure are changing the Russians thought they were going to just roll into Ukraine and no one would do anything they found out the hard way they were very wrong.😂😂🖕
1
@earthwizz COPE
1
@earthwizz no you're coping in your dreamworld
1
@earthwizz you don't know what I believe in clown. The NATO forces were training the Ukrainian military after Russia took Crimea but up until the Russian invasion in 2022 very little equipment was provided to Ukraine they were still equipped with old russian tech. The Ukrainian people don't want to be ruled by Russia that's why they have fought so hard and haven't quit even with heavy casualties. The Ukrainian people arn't fighting for the US or NATO they're fighting for themselves. It's you that needs to wake up.
1
Okay tough guy.🤡
1
@glennv3176 guess you forgot about the IED 🤡
1
@bgdabg6769 bullshit the US has no issues in direct wars they struggle with insurgencies just like everyone else. The Russian military is a joke they've been embarrassed in this war the only reason they have made any gains is their superiority in artillery
1
Plenty of them are fighting well with video evidence to prove it. This video takes the word of one guy running his mouth and uses it to smear every Western fighter in Ukraine it's bullsh.t Soldiers on both sides are having a hard time coping with the artillery fire and it always been that way in war some can handle it and some it breaks them.
1
@dab0331 I don't respect woman beating punks. The US in Iraq and Afghanistan didn't even have all their firepower available to use and it doesn't take balls to lay an IED. The Taliban has safe haven in Pakistan and used that to wait the US out they used time as a weapon. In Iraq they were fighting the insurgents room to room in Fallujah and in a lot of the other cities as well and they were also facing IED that could turn a Humvee to scrap metal. Who has the Russians fought Rebels in Syria, Chechenya, Georgia they haven't fought any big nations either and they invaded Ukraine because they thought it was going to be like taking the Crimea. I have seen plenty of footage of western veterans fighting in Ukraine kicking ass but the clowns in this comments section who don't like the west that's their real agenda try to use the comments of the blowhard in the video calling the western fighters in his company cowards to smear all western soldiers.
1
@agapp11able it is a cope because relative to the size of the Ukraine it's nothing and they have taken way more casualties then they ever expected and nearly five months in there is no end in sight. The Russians have been embarrassed by how their military has performed.
1
@agapp11able western tech is heavily over rated yeah like all the anti tank weapons trashing russian armoured vehicles and the stingers shooting down russian aircraft. Funny russian tech hasn't been standing up to well to western artillery with plenty of video footage to prove it
1
@agapp11able well over 1000,000 men seriously they have those men on paper they arn't all trained or equipped. Stop trying to pump up the Russian military they have been embarrassed in this war.
1
@dab0331 I didn't label everyone as Taliban but the reality is they were the backbone of the insurgency. Stop using dude it makes you sound like a 5 year old. Every army has soldiers who can't stand artillery fire and break down it's happened through out history the big mouth in the video calling people cowards smearing western soldiers makes it sound like their all cowards. My grandfather also saw some service in Greece,Crete and North Africa and he told me the guys in training running their mouths were the first to drop their nuts when the shooting started. The big mouth in the video calling people cowards could very well have been a coward when he was under fire.
1
@agapp11able yeah they keep sending them and they keep getting destroyed that's why they were pulling t62 tanks from the 1960's out of storage
1
@NasirKhan1000 STFU 🤡 they attacked some small US bases a few times in the Korengal and failed everytime. Other than that it was all IED and sniper fire,mortar fire they avoided direct large scale battle and used time as a weapon they simply waited the US out. They have a saying in Afghanistan "you have the watches but we have the time".
1
 @MrDelgado559 the Russians lost to those farmers in Afghanistan so using them as an example is not very smart
1
@sumitkumarroy2307 No they left after 20 years there was no reason to stay there if they had wanted to stay there they could have and there would have been nothing the Taliban could have done about it. The Russians left after 8 years.
1
 @manuelc.f1754 NATO soldiers aren't fighting in Ukraine so stop coping
1
 @anameireles2118 The Russians lost in Afghanistan too
1
 @LawAbidingCriminal111 wrong the Taliban was created by the Pakistani ISI
1
@davidater9 no they weren't they came in all ages and they had plenty of support. They had snipers rifles, mortars,machine guns and IED which was the main cause of injury and death some of the bombs were so powerful they could destroy a tank. They combined that with hiding in the civilian population and waiting out the US forces they used time as a weapon which is classic insurgency tactics
1
 @sinchro the Taliban bases were also in Pakistan when the Americans were in Afghanistan
1
 @JLSMaytham BS they train for insurgents because that's what they were facing before that they trained to fight Russia in Europe
1
 @markpaez601 Most of the weapons that were left had been supplied to the Afgan army and the majority of important equipment was inoperable.
1
@GalBeFreed 🤡🤡
1
@abdulrashidabang5583 your comment is garbage from start to finish. He said he left because he had already seen a lot of combat and know if he kept pushing his luck it would run out. He nearly got killed after he told two Ukrainian not to light up a cigarette and they ignored him a tank saw them and opened fire killing the two Ukrainian and nearly killing him as well. He also left because he never even got a snipers rifle and also struggled to get transport. The Taliban weren't defenceless and they had no problems killing afgan civilians even for things as trivial as wanting to go to school.
1
@abdulrashidabang5583 you're talking out your a .. the video of what he said is on this channel go back and watch the whole thing before you run your mouth. Snipers can operate in environments where the enemy have air power and artillery and they have done so for decades.
1
@muaythaiordie He didn't run away he was a sniper he was never given a sniper rifle to do what he was trained for and struggled to even get a vehicle. He was also nearly killed because of the fools with him who lit cigarettes when he told them not too they gave away their position and were killed and he nearly died with them. He said he started wondering how many times he could roll the dice with all the combat he had already seen and he didn't want to lose what he had built up in his life. The reality is a person's view of life is a lot different at 40 than it is at 25 when your young you feel invincible but as you age you become a lot more aware of your mortality and what you have to lose especially if you have family. That's not a cope it's just the reality of life.
1
@Aioradeleo27 No he didn't. Why don't you get over there tough guy stop running your mouth on the internet
1
@CM-xr9oq yes that's true you never really know what is the truth the Russians have run a big misinformation campaign in this war
1
@belindaeuresti3973 if they don't have the bàlls to sign up they're not in any position to criticize anyone else
1
@garettdoornwaard4822 all news has an agenda 🤡🤡🤡
1
@Mortablunt the Taliban and Al Qaeda arn't kids.
1
@timminh468 yep it's like a lot of sports people who don't realise they've had enough until they get hit in a big tackle and they say I really don't need this anymore. He also had a son who turned one while he was in Ukraine and that's a whole lot different to being young with no responsibilities other than yourself
1
artinvartanian4631 it is true they never got the equipment in the end he taught himself how to use a javelin and they struggled to get vehicles. Yes he also had a one year old son in top of everything thing and after nearly getting killed because of someone else's stupidity he left
1
@nolga3569 He did leave for multiple reasons there's nothing insane about it. You can leave a job for multiple reasons you can leave a relationship for multiple reasons you really should have thought harder before you commented to me
1
@nolga3569 Afghanistan provided haven to Al Qaeda who attacked America and Canada went in with America as did many other nations because Al Qaeda doesn't discriminate when they launch an attack they kill everyone regardless of what country they come from. Air support has nothing to do with it in Afghanistan the greatest threat was mines and IED which air support can't do anything about. He was a younger man in Afghanistan by the time he went to Ukraine he was 40 with a wife and a one year old child and it gives you a different perspective on life. On top of that going to Ukraine as a foreign Volunteer they didn't have the support as he stated for some of the time he was there he struggled to get a snipers rifle or transport. Foreign volunteers fighting for Russia are finding the same thing getting over to Ukraine and not being given proper equipment and wanting to leave.
1
artinvartanian4631 you can think what you want go tell him to his face or even better go to Ukraine and lead the way tough guy
1
@nolga3569 no I have no problems with reading or comprehension you said Canada was never attacked and I explained why they went into Afghanistan anyway. You're really not to bright.
1
You forgot about the snipers rifles,mortars,.50 Cal heavy machine guns, RPG and IED that can send a humvee 50 metres 30 metres into the air
