  2. Straight out of Western MSM.

  3. I hope China, Russia, and the other BRICS and ASEAN countries, as well as Africa and South America, have people following Brian's videos, taking notes, and passing their summaries to the highers up.

  4.  @pessi6185  It got pulled as it was streaming. I've never seen anything like it.

  5. Armenia needs to formally ask the CSTO for military assistance. Like NATO, the CSTO is then obliged to consider the request and respond to it if legitimate.

  6. It's not any kind of socialism, that's how. Just because you call something by a name doesn't make it so.

  7. ​ @ohsweetmystery  Massive losses of soldiers.

  8. Far, far worse.

  9.  @onerxowns2202  Gerasimov will be the overall commander. Surovikin will now serve as one of Gerasimov's deputies, as well as the general in command of the air operations.

  10. The lack of integrity in our post-secondary education, in what we choose to highlight and what to omit from our curricula, is one of the signs typical of civilizational decay. It's absolutely mind-boggling that one can go through graduate school in the humanities or social sciences without learning the real history and behaviour of one's own country. Not your fault, of course.

  11. Likewise.

  12. Amen.

  13. All the US needs to do give up its pretensions to exceptionalism, dismantle its hundreds of military bases abroad, accept the rule of international law (which it itself helped draft), and join the rest of the human race, engage in fair competition and co-operation with others. It's really as simply as that.

  14. The real story of the liberation of Bakhmut is yet to be told. Like everyone else, Russians fell for Prigozhin's admittedly masterful PR.

  15. Yes, your numbers are more realistic.

  16. The latter. Bulgaria doesn't have the industrial base 1/3 of that of Germany or even of the largely de-industrialized UK. It simply can't pull that off.

  17. That's exactly the conclusion you're meant to reach.

  18. ​ @GonzoJohnny  I don't see the Duran as propagandists, but I do agree that they're absurdly self-blinded about Trump. I also find their studied failure to speak up about the genocide in Palestine morally despicable. 🫤

  19.  @OutragedPufferfish  Yes, Ukraine was a national Soviet Republic because Lenin made it into one by chopping off Russian territories (all of Novorossiya) and annexing them to the Borderlands (ukraina). Had it not been for Lenin's well-known anti-Russia animus and his ideologically driven program of encouraging all nationalisms except the Russian one, Ukraine would never have come into being at all.

  20. You seriously saying the West has a quality advantage?! It's American and German tanks that are on display in Moscow as war trophies, not the other way round. The Brits had the sense to tell Ukrainians none of their tanks could be used on the battlefront. 😂

  22. Yes, please!

  24. ​ @billybond4148  Perfectly healthy street food is so cheap in Asia that in Thailand, for instance, Thai people (except for those who live in villages) rarely if ever cook at home. An excellent system that supports the local economy and frees up people's time.

  25. How would that be a fair trade? The territory Russia's taken is Russian lands the communists annexed to Ukraine without asking the people if they agreed to it. In contrast, the territory Ukrainians are running around in in Russia has never been Ukrainian.

  26. ​ @innercynic2784 In this case, it does: they actually elected another member of the Marcos family mafia and are getting exactly what they deserve.
    3
  27. What did Filipinos expect when they elected -- gave power to -- yet another member of the Marcos family mafia? Prosperity and good relations with their neighbours? 😅

  28. This is normal for the US, not a matter of a particular administration. The US has been stirring up, staging and provoking coups d'etat, wars, invasions, annexations, and regime change operations almost from its inception. Never stopped doing it in Latin America during the 19th and 20th centuries.

  29. Or from the heads of the Korean minority living in Russia. 😅

  30. Google is fully controlled by the Deep State.

  31.  @ewalker1057  That's awful. And unconscionable of the West.

  32. ​ @calicocat8213  Zelensky got his UK citizenship from Boris Johnson back in 2022. I don't know if he has a third or even a fourth one, as his oligarch mentor Kolomoisky is said to do.

  33. Yes, he is of Croatian ancestry.

  34. He said no such thing.😂 Not even remotely.

  35. Bad news, indeed. 😢 Thai courts should have dissolved these opposition parties regardless of Western support for them. Thailand needs to protect itself instead of giving way to blatant outside pressure.

  36. Likewise.

  37. Barring any unforeseen health problems, I also expect him to serve the next two terms, i.e. until 2036.

  38. We know from officials on the US team who witnessed the giving of those assurances that the Russians are right, so why would I give credence to some former Russian minister who's lost all influence in Moscow and will tell the MSM what they want to hear rather than give credence to American officials who actually stand to lose from telling the truth inconvenient to the US?! 😅

  39. Defend?! 😂

  40. I wonder if the people who say such things actually believe them.

  41. Armenia never applied for help from the CSTO in the first place!

  42. 😅

  43. It's not a matter of accountability, which would be impossible to enforce in a system such as ours, but the system itself that makes accountability a no go.

  44. Another detailed, factual, brilliant analysis by Brian. Thank you so much for the work you do!

  45. Shame on Canada for so, so much, including this.

  46. No, they've not had enough time to create proper defenses around and in Artemovsk/Bakhmut.

  47. If this winter turns to be relatively mild in Europe, as may very well be the case, that gambit won't work out for Russia.

  50. That's awful! Thank you for cutting that paragraph from The Spectator.
