  1. Russia didn’t even notice NATO was falling apart by itself. Good work, Russia. Thanks for the videos!

  2. The more Putin blames Ukraine, the more vulnerable he makes Moscow to, well, everyone else. Thanks for the video!

  3. Hamas finding out that when you try to throw over other ME governments (Jordan, Egypt), their countries are happy to not support you. Thanks for the video!

  4. Amusingly, these nuclear white elephants not only haven’t been used (recently), but are so costly to maintain that anyone who has them has value in them as a hollow threat more than actual use. Meanwhile, it’s the cheap disposable “made in your garage” drones that have played out in actual warfare. I’m sure drones will be regularly used in all those wars in the various Wherever East countries.

  5. And go ask grandpa what it was like during the 1970‘s when OPEC cut off the oil, because the old king didn’t want to sell oil to Israel‘s allies. The result was conservation*. OPEC learned that they still need to keep their oil prices low enough so that customers don’t have an incentive to research alternative energies or domestic oil. The demand for oil, especially China, *is constantly increasing, but more countries outside of OPEC, including the USA, are exporting oil. The SA prince is more friendly towards Israel and USA because Palestine is economically worthless, and SA is competing with Iran for ME influence.

  6. 0:28 : As WS said in an earlier video, it’s unlikely that the Chinese missiles were literally filled with water. Bloomberg more likely misinterpreted the Chinese idiom (which we have a as well) that “watered down” means inferior goods, not necessarily water per se. FYI, In Russia’s attack on Kiev, many of the heavy armored vehicles were unable to continue moving because the corrupt Russian officers bought “Made in China” tires that were unable to hold the weight under actual use. Needless to say, these tires were not filled with water. Thanks for the video!

  7. So long as Moscow, St. P, and Putin’s villas haven’t been affected, everything is fine, nyet?

  8. @Chad: Shoting up copium again, comrade?

  9. Thanks for summarizing the players in the ME. Social media likes to oversimplify things, but, in the ME, every country that has allied with each other has fought against each other in the past. “It’s complicated.”

  10. Two years. Took long enough, but at least it happened. Thanks for the video!

  11. @Y: You know there’s a Russian bot when they mention the Ottomans.

  12. Another great video! Was always wondering when someone would talk about the coast — and more about the dam. Slava Ukraine!

  13. I remember this from Joe Blog, I think. I’m just gonna add that, although the Indian govt authorized Indian companies (banks?) to accept rubles, none of them did. So much for BRICS unity.

  14. We need a video series of countries that actually have their economies in working order. Should take a weekend to produce. :/

  15. Hey, Russiabots. You forgot to add the “EU and USA are being hurt more by sanctions” narrative to your posts. Fixed that for you!
    14
  16. Thanks for the historical look at the population pyramid. We‘re well aware that there will be an impact from Russian losses in the war in Ukraine, but may not of previous history. And those who do not learn from history will be doomed to repeat it.
    13
  17. Russia is losing. That’s all I need to know.
    11
  18. Reporting from Ukraine noted how the Russia cannon fodder soldiers punched through Ukrainian defense, but was not able to follow through with professional soldiers. What’s the point of finding a weakness if you can’t exploit it?

  19. Best at retreating, losing, killing civilians, and sending its own men to the meat grinder.

  20. @Checa : The Kremlin was probably delighted that Germany didn’t listen to the orange-haired guy.

  21. Protests could be correlation because of similar economic issues. Fwiw, China wanted Moderna to give them their vaccine IP, Moderna (and other companies) refused, then China came out with its own, inferior, vaccine.

  22. @cx: Look up the “Unfair Treaties”. Many countries, including EU, took advantage of China being weaker, during the various ages of imperialism.

  23. Whelp, the Russian soldiers are screwed, then. Hope they enjoy the footwraps.

  24. 21:30 : Half-measures… like Western foot-dragging in Ukraine? Despite the brutality of the Israel-Gaza war, I think there will be far fewer deaths, children or otherwise, than the Ukraine-Russia one. Thanks for the video. And, btw, UK-based Sprouts was able to have a supermarket foothold in my area, despite the Safeway‘s all over the plce. :D

  25. Great work. Contrary to the lack of context in early videos and articles about the explotion (even on Yahoo), the dam is a known issue, and was mentioned quite a bit during the Kherson retreat back in October (including speculation that Russia would use a ‘dirty bomb’ of nuclear material, which it looks like they did not do). But, like any of yesterday‘s news, that was forgotten, so good to see a review of the dam’s importance in a previous conflict. Personally, I expect this dam explosion, while dramatic, to have already been taken into account with Ukraine‘s military plans.

  26. Of course, SA will sit idly by. SA was making attempts to ally, or at least talk with, Israel and the USA. Iran knew this, and Russia needed a diversion, so Hamas attacked.

  27. @z: Safe to assume the FSB will be the lat remaining working entity in Russia.

  28. IIRC, Before the ammo social media thing, the RMD had Wagner pull out of some battle Wagner was winning, and rotated in RMD troops, so RMD could take the credit. Thanks for the video!

  29. @prize: Unlike Ukraine, Russia has to disburse its troops both on their borders against hostile nations, and internally, against hostile citizens. China has this problem as well. Also, China has plenty of problems Russia has, such as corruption and inexperience against Western allies.

  30. @pat: Yep. Joe Blog also said this, although it was months ago. Enjoy your potatoes, bots.

  31. I find it hilarious that Russia will think Ukraine’s international allies will disapprove of an attack or invasion on Russia. Russia has shown that it has no nuclear capability and Ukraine has already attacked Russian logistics past the Russian border. We’ve already known of partisan activity since the war started, even if information about their activities hasn’t been shown, until Belgorod. Ukraine is playing 5D chess against Putin’s 4D!

  32. @D: Indirectly, you’ve also have to account for the “brain drain” and other loss of Russian citizens.

  33. Thanks for the historical examples!

  34. Mr. Two Steps has had two years to figure it out. Isn’t working out too well for him, is it, Ivan?

  35. Are the Russiabots still telling us the sanctions aren‘t working? Thanks for the video!

  36. Thanks for the analysis. These details clarify common general statements in the media. Thanks for the videos.

  37. Wonder if there will be a nuclear fire sale when Russia blows up the Zap power plant.

  38. Remember the gipper? (: I think us seniors are interested because we grew up in the Cold War, and remember when Russia was a threat. Kids nowadays (: who don‘t want US funding the war don’t remember not just the days when Russia was a threat, but when USA sent troops everywhere, with disaterous results. The west is obviously not putting its own troops on Ukranian soil, but, for better or worse, the spending is on par for domestic spending.

  39. I understand bank runs better than stag hunts. Thanks for the video!

  40. Russia and Iran.

  41. @ID: What are you smoking?

  42. @C: Yes, William covered several factions in Russia’s military. :P

  43. Gaza has fuel and supplies — except Hamas has it and isn’t giving it to them. Search for the NYT article. Keep up the good work!

  44. Glad to see Ukraine finally making attacks on Russian soil. For years the west has told Ukraine they could not attack Russia, in fear of retaliation (eg. Nukes). Well, it seems that some sort of agreement may have been reached. Has Russia pulled their “crying bully” Schlick again with any “(insert adjective here) attacks on Russian soil” statements? Keep up the videos and the lines on the maps!

  45. I’m more concerned about the Zap power plant that the Russians captured, and a crude dirty bomb. Russian nukes I doubt are in service. Russian incompetence and mishandling of nuclear materials, I’m more confident in. :/

  46. 46:30 : Russia sure started moving those goalposts early in the war! Slava Ukraine!
    2
  47. It‘s always been the case that whoever controls the purse strings controls everything. ): Ukraine‘s mistakes were thinking Russia would honor the Buddhapest Agreement (sp) and that the West would help them. Go look at Israel for how to fight a war with little or no support from the West.

  48. Today: Russia will do something awful tomorrow! Tomorrow: Another 1000 dead Russians and 100 tanks / armored vehicles lost. Nothing to see here.

  49. Russia’s already fallen. This is the slow motion train wreck.

  50. Sanctions are keeping Russia from “smart” weapons and maintaining existing ones. Russia has been stockpiling artillery ammo since WWII, but their barrels need modern-day equipment. When Russia resorts to weapons from Iran, you know they’re running out of weapons.
