  1. Only if you tell us how you found it out.

  2. Could you please name some examples? I've seen a few videos and Interviews of him and never got that impression.​ @andrzejbarcelonafrlk6416

  3. That is a very good idea! Anders' previous collaborations were rather with someone he is on the same wavelength with. It would be interesting to see him step out of the bubble.

  4.  @andersjjensen  There is enough critical information about what is going on in Russian too. But of course not on state TV.

  5. Yup, he is rocking the tie, but nope, nobody can pull off a pink shirt.

  6. I agree that he is a propagandist, and in some regards he went down the wrong road. But let's be fair, he always said that Ukraine CAN win IF its allies' support remains high. That was a big if. It is not Commander Nielsen's fault that the help Ukraine receives is barely sufficient at best and declining. For the sake of objectivity, though, it would not harm to leave the realm of hypothetical and give an overview of the actual situation on the ground and an estimation of potential with the current level of support.

  7. Talking of bad assumptions, how come the West underestimated Ukraine's resistance?

  8. And you believe this BS because Anders says so? He was successful in his propaganda job than. It might be true for some extremist idiots, but why the hell does he present it like all Russians are like that?

  10.  @Asptuber  Please don't take thoughts of a bored, not even interested in politics, housewife too serious. ""As the conflict will not end with acceptance of defeat, it will have to move somewhere else. " Hmm, are you thinking Georgia? Some other non-NATO ex-soviet state?" To answer that we need to know why Ukraine is being under attack now. If we look at it as part of a larger disharmony gone conflict NATO-Russia going on since 1991, any non-NATO country where USA starts peeing on Russia's leg can be next. No, I don't think Putin will try to swallow one country after another without any threat to be expected. But who am I to judge what is threat in Putin's opinion? ""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. " Putin needs something that can be dressed up as a victory. The smarter way for him to get this would be to concentrate not on "the West", but on the Ukronazis. " Well, the narrative The West is against us and we have to stand our ground is already there. He can not shake it off while the West is increasing its involvement on a daily basis. ""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" But this would be stupid*, because there is less possibilities of victory, and more problems from unrest at home. *Stupid as things stand now. But if the West, or a neighbour (Moldova would be the prime candidate, maybe Georgia, or Azerbadjan?), somehow let itself be baited into the conflict, the calculation changes dramatically. If someone gave him a clear casus-belli that he could "win" this scenario works much better." Exactly, "*Stupid as things stand now." and only if you look at this military operation on its own. I think this special military operation was not even planned to happen. Concidered as one of options, but not a firm plan from the start. What triggert the invasion? Now he is in Ukraine and it would be fatal ambarrassing to loose the operation against Ukraine. But being in a war with the West trying with all means to prevent Russia protecting its interests is something different. Loose the battle to win the war later could be a plausible explanation for Russian population. Winning the war would be here to weaken the West till is gives up and starts cooperating again. "The problem for Putin is that he can't turn this into an actual big war (aka world war 3), because he can't win that. He can only escalate for the home audience, not in reality (at least not too much). Great escalation in reality leads to a really humiliating defeat, and loss of power for him, and in the worst case destruction of Russia as it is now. " There is nothing Putin can do, Russia will not be as it was before 24th of February. Do you believe, that if the invasion stops today, Russian army leaves all Ukrainian territories including Donbas and Crimea, USA and EU will pretend nothing happened and set back the framework to the conditions of the middle of 2021? Putin does not only need a victory he can sell at home. That helps short term, but in the long run he needs something that either brings Russia and EU at least trading with each other again or to build up new partnerships that are able to compensate the EU. Russia can not win WW3 on its own, can not afford loosing this spesial military operation either. NATO can not stop after massive participation and harm dome to own economies as well. I don't think Putin will escalate proactive, he will react to what he defines to be an attack. Both sides, NATO and Russia, can not just stop, both sides can not endless escalate. Economies of all participants suffer, the money will decide over win or loose.

  11. 12:25-13:05. There is a lot to unpack here. What are your statements based on? All I observe is exactly the opposite. To begin with, Russians do not want to see Putin at all and he knows it. How else would you explain the way he confirmed he runs for presidency in 2024? Was it a loud and proud public announcement swimming on the wave of popular support? Why are there no photos of Putin on his election advertisement posters, in contrast with his previous ones? How is gathering signatures going? Why, again, did gathering hot spots disappear? May it be because nobody showed up? If it was "popular in Russia when they make this attacks (on civilian objects)" , why would state media, as you yourself mentioned at 8:25, describe them as unintentional, collateral, caused by Ukrainians who do not know what they are doing? Is it how state media would present a welcome event? If the war was popular, would Putin justify he started it with phrases like "we were forced", "we did not have any other choice"? Why would Putins regime bother about single people holding up empty sheet of paper, if it would've been enough just to bomb couple of playgrounds or hospitals and everything is peachy? I could go on, but you as an analyst are certainly aware of all I would say. So, why the hell are you feeding Putins propaganda by spreading such rediculous lies? What happened to the person who ones wrote this: "The tone about ordinary Russians has become increasingly hostile in the West. They are portrayed as terrible people, incapable of independent thought, and genetically predisposed for imperialism and autocracy. This is understandable, but at the same time it strikes me as utterly unproductive if we want #Russia to change"? Perhaps I am too harsh and you are right. So, what are your statements based on?

  14. В России тоже никто не верил, что может начаться война с Украиной. К сожалению, ожидать можно любого безумия. От того как школьников обрабатывают просто мороз по коже. Не знаю что бы я сделала на месте родителей, со стороны судить легко, но совершенно не понимаю как такое можно допустить. Когда друзья и знакомые из детства/юности спрашивают почему не приезжаю домой, а спрашивать стали часто, что ответить? Страна за последние 20 лет изменилась настолько, что просто уже не "домой". Даже 5-6 лет назад всё казалось по-старому, а теперь просто какая-то неузнаваемая параллельная реальность. Простите за всё, что моя родина натворила и ещё натворит.

  15. If it was beneficial to Ukraine, he would have mentioned it.

  16. Not really. Women and children who left the country rather shifter the balance towards 50:50 again because a lot of men were working abroad. The town where my grandparents used to live, last time visited in 2021, might not be representative for the whole country, but the vast majority of inhabitants were women, children and elderly. There is a statue of Mary with baby Jesus in her hands, or folk given name guest workers' wife. Most man who could be drafted were already wearing uniform, either army or police. Counting draftable men as a metric of sustainability or possible length of the war is very short-sighted to say the least. How long does it take till demographic change becomes irreversible? As long as political effort does not lead to the end of the war, financial and military help must be enough to kick Russians out of Ukraine, not only just enough to keep it going because Ukraine has enough people to loose for years to come.

  20. 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 it works on own pipelines only.

  21. No. Russia I left in 2004 was not like that. Hard to believe it is the same country, watching the change feels like a bad dream or a parallel universe.

  25. ​ @silmaril96  Absolutely, this YouTube channel is not what it used to be. But "recently"? You are being very generous :) The tendency you've described began to be noticeable and took over gradually after Commander* Nielsen changed his outfit to the more formal one. I do miss the guy in an old T-shirt, his content was way more balanced. * @anderspuck Sorry if I used wrong rank. How to address you officially?

  27.  @RapidAssaultEuro  "Русский (Russian) means someone who is from the Russian ethnic group." - That is correct. "Россиянин (Russian) means someone who has Russian citizenship, but isn't ethnically Russian." - That is new to me. Россиянин is a citizen of Russian Federation regardless of ethnic group. - If Россиянин means someone who has Russian citizenship, but isn't ethnically Russian, what is the word for someone who has Russian citizenship and is ethnically Russian? "You can never become русский, it is a matter of blood. Shows that they will never truly integrate outsiders into their society." - Jeez Louise, where do I begin? Russia is a multinational state with ca. 190 ethnic groups nationwide. Do you really believe 189 of them are never truly integrated into Russian society outsiders? - Ethnic group is more than a matter of blood. I am not aware of any you can easily change to. - Russia is not the only place on Earth where citizenship and national identity are not the same.

  28.  @imcbocian  "Roosskiy is ethnic Russian,"- That is correct. "and Rossiyanin is every russian citizen of other ethnicity." - In which Russian dictionary did you look up the definition of Rossiyanin? Rossiyanin is any citizen of Russian Federation regardless of ethnicity. If you are right, what is the word for ethnic Russian citizens of Russian Federation? "In some cases i can imagine calling ethnic Russian "Rossiyanin," - Every ethnic Russian who also is citizen of Russian Federation is rossiyanin. "but there is no way someone would call Tatar, Bashkir or Avar "Roosskiy" - Why should someone call Tatar, Bashkir or Avar "Roosskiy" if they are not? That would mean ignoring their national identity. But everyone would call Tatar, Bashkir or Avar "Rossiyanin" if they are citizens of RF.

  29.  @marcm.  Thank you for your reply, I would very appreciate if you could find that video. Russian is my mother tongue and I would describe this words differently. "One is use for a Russian and they must be if Russian ethnicity." Right, one of the meanings of russkii is someone of Russian ethnicity. On russkii/ he is Russian is the same as he is Dutch or he is a Dane. Rossiiskii says nothing at all about ethnicity. This word links something to the state of Russia. Like Russian Academy of..., Russian industry, Russian science etc. To differentiate between ethnically Russian and someone of other ethnic group one would: - name that other group - say Russians and other ethnic groups or - simply say not Russian. There is also rossijanin for citizen of Russian Federation regardless of ethnicity. So, Russian can be translated as - russkij - ethnically Russian, - rossijanin - Russian citizen of any ethnicity, - rossijskij - of Russian state. I sincerely can not remember any very exclusionary term used to differentiate between the main ethnicity vs everyone else.

  32. What's the point of comparing production potentials if Ukraine does not even get what is on stock so far? You tend to stop right when it begins to get interesting. This video boils down to "If NATO decides to outperform Russia in the production of military equipment, they can absolutely do that". That's big IF, "depending on the political will in the West to do that and to make those investments". I am missing an explanation why there is no political will to do that and under what circumstances military production would get relevant enough for all NATO countries to make those investments. Is it to be expected? You say NATO can outperform Russia if those investments were made. Does it mean Russian military production is currently outperforming NATO? I wish you've given a short overview about actual situation on both sides (stock, production, factories on stand by). How long would it take for all NATO countries to make those decisions and when would production of military products begin to outperform Russian one? Will stock be enough to fill the gap till then? Would it not be cheaper and faster to reduce Russian production if Ukraine was given long range missiles to destroy Russian factories? It is so weird to speak about potentials 2 years into the war.

  44. One can call this video a manipulative summary of facts and conclusions, the German part is exaggerated, but I did not detect any lies. Indeed, there is a lot not mentioned, and what is not mentioned speaks for itself. On the other hand, this is such a complex topic, there is enough material for a video on why Russia is not behind this or a video on why USA dit it. Video on why USA did not do it would be a very short one, though.
