  1. 6:57 You have to be pretty brave to shoot that in training. It can explode in your hands, right?

  2. It looks like an army that kills itself faster than enemy actions. 🤨 Not yet routed, yet already miserable. This isn't even survival training where you learn how to deal with the natural elements and learn how to build your shelter and lay down in the woods with what you find. The only reason to practice sleeping indoors without a real bed is if you plan to survive torture. The Ukrainian army doesn't do this to prisoners. So it's not useful training. It's just bad, destructive conditions for no reason. Civilians are better equipped to travel, camp and survive the winter on their own savings. Could civilians defeat the mobilized Russian army?! Just by waiting for the rain to come and the temperature to drop?! 😬

  4. "your job, your workplace is reserved" doesn't fit at all the actual economic needs. They talk like if their jobs didn't required skills, training, context, habits, experience... Like if those jobs didn't depended of what they have in their head and like if any employee was replaceable without any socio-economical impact; like if any of those jobs could be interrupted and resumed later without consequences, without difficult temporary replacements, mistakes, delays, loses, without competition from other citizens or from foreign businesses abroad. That's NUT ! The loses are going to be more than the GDP of Ukraine. This is Russia applying the most devastating economic sanction to itself !

  5. 2:05 I am shocked that you would look down on them and associate this behavior with their culture. If this bus goes to a training that then leads to a war you don't want to kill and die for, it's not a small argument, but rather a matter of life and death. These people are not necessarily trained soldiers for this kind of situation, so of course they can panic at any time. They also have every reason to be extremely angry at a regime that has lied to them so much and now seems to want to physically eliminate them. In the absence of reliable information, in the absence of trust and given the vital stakes, any human can become extremely violent and jump out of its habits, whether he is Russian or of the same nationality as you. This can be observed in people of any religion, ethnicity and cultural group, in spite of dogmas and different pseudo-pacifist prides. After all, it is only a rationalisation of this instinct shared by all that led to manufacturing weapons and organizing armies. So just because one has been specially trained to behave differently by a military instructor does not mean that one is fundamentally different from people who improvise in a panic. Regardless of broad cultural traits and habits, we all quickly adapt to the only language that other people are willing to take into account, and behave with them in a very different way than we were brought up to. If the only choice you're given to not go out and kill people and get killed is to go to jail, you may quickly think of ways to go to jail, even if it was never in your culture or your calling to do so.

  6. 12:25 Exactly the kind of guy I would have sent first on the front line. He wouldn't have motivational issues, would he? Let's see if this great expert in identifying evil things from the West is able to find and capture some in Ukraine, and how effective his speeches and sermons are now, there. How does his version of the Orthodox paradise for mad fighters compare to its Taliban equivalent? Less virgins and more lights, maybe ? So medieval !
