  1. NATO needs to decide if it’s going to allow these Russian continued intrusions. It’s really up to the individual nations that are being intruded upon as their the countries that will most likely suffer from any consequences of escalating matters with Russia.

  2. @@roadrunner7988 Yeah, I agree. Countries like Germany have really let their military degrade, and they have depended on the US too much. It was one thing that Trump got right by putting pressure on them to do more of their share. It is good to see though that their military budgets are being increased. I am most impressed with how Poland is taking the Russian threat seriously. They have made some major military purchases that will make them a very lethal force.

  5.  @djordjesp  Yes, the Ukrainians will hold it. They are regular Ukrainian army troops. It’s not like in Belgorod where only legion troops were sent for short raids. Have you seen the Russian response? No joke, Russia’s troops are arriving in civilian vehicles. The only way Russia is going to have a chance at retaking the land is to take troops away from the front lines in Ukraine. Russia’s screwed no matter what it chooses.

  6.  @d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f.594  That won’t happen. Keep in mind that Biden tried to change the voting process of Congress to get a single Bill passed. He tried to change the required vote from a 66% - 33% to a 51%-49% majority. This process has been in place since the US was created. Thankfully some Democrats voted against it and didn’t follow party lines.

  10. As an American, I fully support Ukraine, however at the same time I can’t ignore the huge immigration crisis that the US is going through. The Biden administration isn’t doing anything to stop it or even slow it down. Of course the US needs to continue helping Ukraine, but for the US a bigger problem at the moment are the hundreds of thousands of immigrants coming into the country.

  11. What’s disgusting is that European countries have for years let their militaries dwindle while the U.S. warned them that they needed to spend more, and to stop relying on Russian oil and gas. Now they expect the U.S. to pay for their negligence. Other than the drone strikes, the majority of the weapons used by Ukraine have come from the US. HIMARS, artillery shells, M-777 artillery, thousands of Humvees, GLMRS, guided bombs, Bradleys, etc., not to mention the invaluable intel. The US has no obligation to help Ukraine, and yet it’s provided just as much military aid as all the other countries combined.

  12. @ Read the memorandum. Your quote is not in the memorandum so stop the nonsense. Prove me wrong and cite the exact number from the document. It says nothing about protecting or even providing aid to Ukraine. The US and Ukraine weren’t even allies when the memorandum was signed. There’s no way that the USA would agree to protect Ukraine, especially when Ukraine and Russia were still closely aligned. The memorandum itself says nothing about one country invading another. Stop spreading misinformation.

  13.  @beckyconstantinides2546  How am I wrong? So if the front lines don’t move for two years, and all that is achieved is more destruction and death, you don’t think that there should be peace talks? I think as a condition of peace that Ukraine should require that it’s a member of NATO to discourage Russia from attacking again.

  14.  @beckyconstantinides2546  How am I wrong?

  15.  @gordonmac3616  I hope you’re right. I just don’t want an unending war where the only thing that is happening is death and destruction. If Ukraine can get back all of its territory that would be great, but the way the war has really achieved little over the past year I have my doubts.

  16.  @reaperbsc  If the frontline doesn’t move, and it’s just resulting in more people dying and getting injured, including Ukrainians, how does that make Ukraine the winner? Russia has a lot more people at its disposal to use as cannon fodder, and they don’t care about how many people die. I don’t see how anyone wins from this situation.
    1
  17.  @Gerrard_Pike2008  Russia is taking in around 30,000 new conscripts each month. Russia’s isn’t winning either.
    1
  18.  @Gerrard_Pike2008  My point is that too many people are dying on both sides, and nothing is being gained. It’s been that way for the last year. If it continues that way for another year, it makes no sense why there shouldn’t be peace negotiations. Ukraine’s concern is that Russia is just going to rearm itself so I think as a condition of peace that Ukraine can join NATO for security reasons. Quite honestly I am just tired of seeing so many people getting killed and seriously injured, and also of seeing towns absolutely leveled where nobody is going to want to return.

  19.  @Gerrard_Pike2008  If that’s the case then the west needs to keep providing Ukraine with what it needs

  20.  @Gerrard_Pike2008  I should have mentioned above that security guarantees don’t mean much when a country like Russia won’t adhere to them. Ukraine had security guarantees under the Budapest Memorandum, which Russia didn’t comply with by first taking Crimea and then its more recent invasion in 2022.

  24. Lockheed Martin needs to be able to produce a hell of a lot more than just 96 HIMARS a year. That’s not nearly enough for the demand for it.

  25. While I totally support providing assistance to Ukraine, the Budapest Memorandum doesn’t mention anywhere that the US has an obligation to provide Ukraine with military equipment. And when that document was signed, Ukraine was an ally of Russia. It makes no sense that the west would have obligations to provide arms to a potential adversary.
    1
  26. I don’t believe that the US wanted to know about the Kursk invasion. It gives the US plausible deniability. Biden is not a strong leader. He won’t allow Ukraine to use ATACMS at their full potential, and when Obama sent in SEAL Team 6 to take out Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan, Biden opposed the operation. He’s just waiting for his presidency to be over so that someone else has to call the shots.

  27. You obviously haven’t read the Budapest Memorandum because its terms do not require the US to provide security for Ukraine. The US agreed to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty, which it has. There’s no requirement to provide security or to even provide military aid. Read the MOU before posting any more no nonsense.

  28.  @FrauEichmann  He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

  29.  @joostandhisband9648  I’ve read it multiple times. It’s obvious you haven’t because it doesn’t say anything about defending Ukraine. It doesn’t even say that the US has to provide military equipment. You read it and cite exactly what requires the US to defend or even provide military aid. It’s not in the MOU so stop the nonsense. If any member of NATO is attacked, including Estonia, then of course the US is required under the NATO charter to defend NATO member countries. Ukraine is not part of NATO, and the US has no such obligation. Now try using common sense. When the Budapest Memorandum was signed the US and Ukraine weren’t friends. There’s no way that the US would agree to defend Ukraine or even provide aid at that time, especially since Ukraine and Russia were still closely tied to each other, especially when it came to military hardware partnerships.

  30. I support Ukraine, but I just hope that this aid package provides energy time for the Europeans to build up their defense infrastructure to build the weapons needed by Ukraine in the future. The US Presidential race is extremely close, and if Trump is elected this will probably be the last aid package.

  31. Russia’s has almost 300,000 dead, and reports are that around one million men have serious injuries. Russia’s using equipment over 80 years old, and its regular army hasn’t done anything in the last 14 months. Ukraine has taken back more land in five weeks than what Russia took during its entire winter offensive. Yes, Russia is losing, and the world is in shock about how poorly its leaders so willingly let Russian soldiers die in masses on the battlefield.

  32. The F-22 actually has a smaller frontal radar cross section than the F-35. The F-22’s is around the size of a marble, while the F-35’s is around the size of a golf ball.

  33. What did YouTube say that you did was wrong? I love your videos! I’ve never seen any hatred, bias, discrimination from you towards anyone. It makes no sense. I’ll support you whenever you go. Never mind, I found your video explaining it all. So sorry.

  34. I don’t know if it’s still the case, but I recall an article around ten years ago when a USAF commander said that not all Russian fighters are intercepted all the time. The Russians are testing to see if there are holes in our coverage so we try to give them misleading information by not always intercepting their aircraft.

  35. What a mess Russia is to treat people that way. It’s sickening that the situation is so hopeless. Somebody really needs to step up and take Putin out.

  37. Just guessing, but it’s probably because that’s where his largest audience comes from. I am not sure what country’s military you think is better, that’s quite a large claim.

  38. 😂 If that was the case Russia would be using them more frequently. Facts are that Russia primarily uses unguided munitions.

  39. Here’s additional clarification from Code One: “A great deal of misinformation has appeared on the Internet regarding the relationship of the Soviet Yak-41 (later Yak-141), NATO reporting name Freestyle, to the X-35 and the rest of the JSF program. The Pratt & Whitney 3BSD nozzle design predates the Russian work. In fact the 3BSD was tested with a real engine almost twenty years before the first flight of the Yak..” And from the book Yakovlev Aircraft since 1924: Following the announcement by the CIS on September 1991 that it could no longer fund development of the Yak-41M, Yakovlev entered into discussions with several foreign partners who could help fund the program. Lockheed Corporation, which was in the process of developing the X-35 for the US Joint Strike Fighter program, stepped forward, and with their assistance aircraft 48-2 was displayed at the Farnborough Airshow in September 1992. Yakovlev announced that they had reached an agreement with Lockheed for funds of $385 to $400 million for three new prototypes and an additional static test aircraft to test improvements in design and avionics. Planned modifications for the proposed Yak-41M included an increase in STOL weight to 21,500 kg (47,400 lb). One of the prototypes would have been a dual-control trainer. Though no longer flyable, both 48-2 and 48-3 were exhibited at the 1993 Moscow airshow. The partnership began in late 1991, though it was not publicly revealed by Yakovlev until 6 September 1992, and was not revealed by Lockheed until June 1994.

  40. Biden has always been weak. He also objected to Navy Seals taking out Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan, which in my opinion was Obama’s greatest accomplishment. We’ll just need to wait and see about how Trump will react. He’s too unpredictable to know how he’ll handle the situation. One thing for certain is that he’s got a huge ego, and he’s not going to let anyone push him around.

  41. To be straight up honest about the ATACMS that Ukraine keeps requesting, I am getting tired of the constant begging. It’s not a game changer. Sure it will help, but people seem to think that Ukraine has an open checkbook to whatever it wants. What is next, F-35s, F-22s, B-2s…. As an American, I support Ukraine, but for people to be pissed at the US for not providing ATACS pisses me off. Beggars can’t be choosy. The US is providing more equipment than all other countries combined. Stop whining. You should count your blessings that Biden is in office because if Trump gets elected you’ll probably find most of the aid cut off or substantially cut back.

  44.  @avarion9538  Just curious, if European countries produce more artillery than the US, why haven’t they met their one million pledge that was already due while the US has already provided 3 million shells?

  45.  @urkn8963  You’re not only spreading misinformation, you have no common sense. It’s not just in the WP. You can find similar statements made from other sources. You can whine and cry all you want, but you can’t accept the facts that the US has no obligation to protect Ukraine. There’s no way that the American population would accept going to war for Ukraine, especially when the memorandum was signed and we weren’t even allies. Ukraine didn’t even want the nukes, and Russia was going to take them whether there was a memorandum in place or not. The nukes only had 12 year useful lives, 8 of which had already passed, and Ukraine didn’t have the money or resources to maintain them. Grow up. Your argument that other documents in the past were even weaker proves my point. There is no requirement for the U.S. to protect Ukraine.
    1
  46.  @urkn8963  So you’re arguing that there were even weaker agreements in the past and that is why the U.S. should be willing to go to war for Ukraine? Really? You just proved my point. The US has no obligation to help Ukraine. And it’s not just the WP that came to the same conclusion. The US wasn’t even an ally of Ukraine when the memorandum was signed. It sure wasn’t about to agree to go to war for it. Be sensible.

  47. @ The points is Ukraine didn’t even want the nukes. It didn’t have the resources or money to properly maintain them. In return Russia forgave huge amounts of debt that Ukraine owed it. The nukes also had 12 year useful lives back in the ‘90s, 8 of which had already passed. Furthermore, Russia was going to take the nukes whether there was a memorandum or not, and Ukraine sure wasn’t going to go to war over something it didn’t want. You’re from the UK, right? It was also a signatory to the memorandum. If it wants to send troops to help Ukraine, be my guest.

  48. I wish more Europeans had your point of view. I agree that the war is in Europe, and it’s Europe’s business to help itself. Europeans keep pushing for the US to pay more. They don’t care that it’s in their own neighborhood. I have found that the British are particularly sensitive about this topic. I got a lot of flack from the British that they needed to increase their defense spending, and that by spending only 2.5% of their GNP by 2030 is too long away. Back in the year 2000 they spent 2.85% of their GNP on defense. It’s not out of reach and it’s doable. Blaming the US and saying that the US needs to do more is getting old. I don’t mind helping Ukraine, but it’s BS that it’s automatically expected. Right now the polls have Biden and Trump tied at 43%, with Kennedy taking the remainder. That’s a dead heat, and Europe shouldn’t be waiting to see what happens in the elections. By then it’s too late. Your argument that it helps the US defense industry is a little convoluted. The aid does help the US defense industry to an extent, the same of which can be said for any European country, but it means that the US spend its money In areas that it ordinarily wouldn’t spend. Also, giving away your property doesn’t make your economy better. The best way to develop your economy is to build and sell your products, not to give them away.

  49. Russia is just as bad if not worse than Isis. Having them take over Syria is no different than Russia taking Ukrainian territory.

  50. The Russian air force can’t destroy crap. For supposedly being the world’s second best air force it couldn’t even achieve air superiority over Ukraine’s significant outnumbered and outdated aircraft. There’s a reason why very few nations are buying Russian equipment anymore. It’s shown on the battlefield that it’s overhyped 💩.
