  1. "Biden administration's policy on Ukraaine where they've been providing consistent military assistance on an onsgoing basis so that Ukraine can continue to fight" is a painfully precise and honest description.

  2. "You can also see this in their language, they have a different word for a Russian who is a Russian ethnicity to their view, versus a Russian who is not" Could you please name this two different words? Examples would help to understand what you are talking about.

  3. I was interested in your opinion about the actual situation and very appreciate you sharing your thoughts here. As this video was new my gut feeling was the same, something big is around the corner. There still was hope that a war is not a firm plan but just one of considerations, rather improbable as the affort required to achieve the goals would be deterrent enough... Well, here we are and the end is not in sight.

  4. In this video you say you did not expect Russian army to be able to pull of a new offensive and do not believe they will achieve anything significant. On the other hand, lately you called Russia existential threat to the west. I am missing the link between this two statements.

  5. ​ @davidr3382 I think it was done on purpose to show "I still control everything".

  6. Back than in my childhood there was a joke: Policeman asks the guy who tried to steal a nuclear bomb why he did it. "I wanted to sell it to by potatoes". "Why didn't you steal potatoes in the first place?". "Potatoes are better guarded" was the answer.

  7. Great video. You are talking about strategic nuclear weapons that are supposed to prevent an all-out nuclear war and I do want to believe you are right that it is not going to happen. But what about tactical ones? As spiral of escalation keeps heating up, how would you guess demonstration or use of them on the battlefield will influence the conflict? Do you believe in "escalate to de-escalate" effect?

  8. Absolutely, she is a true gem. Grigory Yudin, also known as Greg Yudin would be good choice too.

  9. Your analysis sounds plausible. Little remark: presenting the social contract as Putin's invention you give him too much credit. The state and the country were living parallel life decades prior he came to power. Putin's achievement was to keep it this way. There is "long term" for Russia again. What made you change your mind?

  10. Wishful thinking, arrogance, ignorance, telling lies on purpose. I don't know which of those ist worst.

  11. ​ @ABCBCNM You are absolutely right. But, not to forget, one unpunished bad causes another.

  12. Refuses to join NATO? He actually asked for and was rejected.

  13. Good enough is good enough.

  14. Sadly old joke "Russia - sequel and prequel to Soviet Union" aged well.

  15. Not covert at all. Mobilisation never ended, advertisement for joining the army was pretty noisy.

  16. What he say is not right and he knows it. To spread this very impression of Russians was the true goal of this video.

  17. "Anders' assesment is exceedingly one sided and ignores multiple elephants in the room". That applies to the vast majority of the content on this YouTube channel.

  18. To let Surovikin to withdraw from Kherson might be beginning of phase 4. There were speculations that Putin was directing the war. He prioritized political reasons over military needs and was unofficially blamed for army's missing success. Phase 4 would mean change of approach, to pass control over to Surovikin, let military make decisions.

  19. Gosh, it would take at least 10 times watching this video to count how many times I agreed and disagreed with you. Agree with you on the nuclear war perspective but would change results of accept defeat and mobilization for priorities nr. 1 and 2. Regarding material and financial effort of the USA I struggle to believe it is not jet a proxy war. As you said, Putin wants to keep the war in Ukraine. As the conflict will not end with acceptance of defeat, it will have to move somewhere else. Does not sound like keeping war out of Russia. If Putin accepts defeat under the narrative of war Russia against the West it will be seen as weakness, and that does not help to keep power in Russia. Turning the special operation into the war officialy as an answer to unfriendly actions of the West who is eager for escalation is the only way to keep power in Russia and the war out of Russia at least for some time. Unfortunately only escalation makes sense on both sides. As you said before, Russia did not start it to achieve nothing. One could add, the West did not participate to achieve nothing either.

  20. Interesting development. I remember conversations with Americans in various comment sections. The fact that the US did not annex foreign territories seemed to be very important for them and reason to be on a high horse. Was there such a massive cultural shift? Is Trump's idea of extending the borders welcome in the US?

  21. That sounds very plausible.

  22. That's the lesson learned for those who may follow.

  23. Became? Never was different.

  24. I've missed it too. Could you please name couple of occasions when Putin said that?

  25. What's the point if the message is supposed to be "we can do it again"? One needs access to the pipeline to pool this off. Not very impressive, if works on own pipelines only.

  26. He perfectly knows what he is doing and he is great at it. You are just not his target group.

  27. Anders is a military linguist and as such can perfectly distinguish between Russian and Ukrainian. His Russian is as close to flawless as a foreigner can get.

  28. More entertaining for sure, but better?

  29. Or 5 days to start the war officially.

  30. It's his job to distract with irrelevant details in order to prevent his audience from understanding.

  31. Just to be on the same page: if, as you say, meat waves are conscious choice, what alternative approaches did Russia turn down to send the message? 4:36 Please pass the memo to MSM and YT. Something weird is going on. Press changed focus for Israel for a while. What came after made such a sharp U-turn: like reports are the same, but countries are swapped. Economy will crash any time, army runs out of people and ammo, country development towards dictatorship, political crisis, bad decisions on the battlefield... All we were told about Russia out of a sudden apply to Ukraine. And what angers me the most, downplay or ignore Ukraine's achievements. I don't understand what it is good for. YT algorithm went nuts as well, Scott Ritter and co. as suggestions - that's new. I don't think Putin needs a frozen conflict to reduce western help to Ukraine. Military wise help from the West as it is and is to be expected, by all respect, is annoying, but not preventing Putin to proceed. If there will not be significant change in speed, quality end amount of, it does not really matter for Putin if it stops or not. I don't mean help is pointless, I wish there were more. Going on conflict will harm Ukraines demographics and economy the longer the more. To destroy Ukraine as a state Putin does not need a lot of change of front lines. Just enough notisable action to avoid too big trouble at home and prevent Ukraine to get Back to business as usual as long as possible.

  32. What exactly would Russia gain from that?

  33. Хомячки - это мило, но невежливо :) И таки да, не помнит что говорил или очень хорошо притворяется. В одном интервью он так искренне удивлялся откуда брались оценки неспособности российской армии, которые точь-в-точь он же и распространял. Пойми этих аналитиков после таких финтов ушами...

  34. Yep, whatever happens or does not happen - it is all according to the plan is not a new idea in this war ;) Unfortunately this YT channel indeed got strong vibe of populism and propaganda at some point. Nevertheless Anders is an excellent analyst who makes valid points and presents unexpected angles. It is worth it to watch his videos and come back couple of days later for interesting comments and discussions after the flood of unconditional cheerers is over.

  36. The way how shameless "election" was rigged this time is a message on its own. "Love me or hate me, I am still the one who controls everything". Putin needed a clear prove of his power.

  37.  @anderspuck  Thank you for your response, that becomes more clear further into the video. "Kind of acceptance" sounds still too positive, but I don't not know how to describe it more precise either.
    2
  38. 3:44-4:00. So, according to @anderspuck , Russia wants European Countries to invest in their military and defence? Sorry, I am not convinced. Why would Russia, such a big-bad-imperialistic-aggressive country that plans to conquer at least half of the EU within next 10 years, as MSM and politicians present it, aim stronger military of a potential rival? Please make it make sense.

  39.  @gustavalexander8676  For the most part I agree with your assessment. Still I cannot make anything out of some of his extreme statements that are beyond bias and conformity.

  40. Oh, wait, it all started on 8th of June when Russians blew up Freeport LNG pipeline in Texas, Quintana.

  41. Ironically, this video begins with financial scam ad using AI generated Peskov as presenter.

  45. Not his first U-turn.

  46. Unfortunately, true.

  47. Indeed, he sounds a bit like that. My observation is the opposite: Ukraine has a plan, knows what they need and say it to everyone who is ready to listen. Their problem is - there are not many ready to listen to them. Talking about Ukraine without talking to Ukraine is not very helpful.

  48. И этот ответ должен быть обязательно ядерным? В чем логика?

  49. That was good one! Yes, in a dictatorship one can absolutely take high approval ratings for true value. 😂

  50.  @MrJuliancarroll  "Russki and Rossiiskii." Thank you. Russkii is an ethnic Russian, but Rossiiskii does not mean Russian citizen of non Russian ethnicity. I am not aware there are two words for Russian citizens depending on ethnicity. EDIT: To be more specific "Rossiiskii" says nothing about ethnicity. It links something to the state of Russia, like Russian Academy of..., Russian industry, Russian scientists etc.
