  1. Is this your way of coping with the 3 day SMO fiasco?

  2.  @niccolobrioschi3758 remember the US could see the video feeds from with the Russian government and had access to Russian plans. Everything with the SMO indicates Russia expected and planned for a very swift victory. I know you captives of Russian propaganda tells each other otherwise using various excuses, but fact remains: Russia thought it could storm Kiev and occupy it.

  3. This channel clearly selects and shows mostly Ukrainian losses. The narrative is strongly pro-Russian.

  4.  @megachaloub759  "west expected this year Ukraine would win" The west hoped for a win, but the slow progress is very far from Russia's extreme fiasco in the SMO and its battle for Kyiv and Kharkiv, and the later Kherson eviction and Kupiansk rout.

  5.  @unclefester831  keep coping. Russia's fiasco is apparent.

  6.  @aidancarmichael6868  "can we just have a moment of silence for the Russian moon landing please" Yes, and to Prigozhin's tribute to the Russian moon landing.

  7.  @struvrim7637  "but no one has ever captured megacities like Kyiv in 3 days" The battle for Baghdad in 2003 took 6 days. Baghdad is more than two times more populous than Kyiv. As I explained to RealPolitik2000, the force deployments CLEARLY proves Russia expected a swift win. "The initial conditions of Russia at the moment of Istanbul were as follows" According to who, exactly? Do you have solid evidence for that being the conditions of Russia?

  8.  @bilic8094  "what happened with 5 days till the azov sea 😂" Poor guy, is that all you can do to cope with Russia's fiasco?

  11.  @RealPolitik-dy4it  "They took it, held it for some time, then left on their own power." Dude, Russians were massacred again and again at Hostomel airport. They lost a huge chunk of their airborne elites there.
    2
  12.  @vadimnagano 60-70k + air superiority is enough if the defense collapses due to bribes and panic and the leadership flees or is assassinated. They had also brought in more, had they not failed miserably at e.g. Hostomel. Again, Russian force deployments and orders reveal they had the intent to occupy Kyiv. Also, the western support wasn't that significant early in the war. Sure, they had sent some NLAWs, Javelins and manpads, but probably the Kyiv offensive would have failed even without.
    2
  13.  @RealPolitik-dy4it  we know for a fact that Russia intended to take Kyiv in 3 days or thereabout. The force deployments, logistics and the orders given show that. Yes, the land bridge to Crimea is a strategic acheivement, afaik the only one, unless perhaps the ZNPP qualifies. It did have one more, the bridgehead over Dniepr (Kherson city), but it was unable to capitalize on that and had to leave it.

  14.  @Zz_Mike-Hawk_zZ  disputed and if true, not significant support. Here, the US provides major and open support to Ukraine. Russia will lose.

  15.  @JJKK-nj1vb  seems he throws one of those in, superficially pro-Ukrainian, in a very pro-Russian overall narrative in order to let you tell yourself he's even-handed. But he's clearly not.

  16. And Russia is losing 3x more, but of course, few are muscovites. Instead they push minorities from the periphery into the meat grinder to aid the russification of the Russian Empire.

  19.  @RealPolitik-dy4it  again, the SMO was clearly designed for a very swift victory and Russian propaganda (including RT staff like Macgregor and Ritter) told us this would be the case. Russian officials are busy lying, so what do you expect.

  20.  @AB0BA_69  Russia's fiasco and miscalculation is exactly as big whoever said it.

  21.  @zeffy._440  so your theory is that Russia wanted to prove Milley wrong and decided to switch plans from a 3-day SMO to a 900 day war? That makes SO much sense. Btw, everybody, including you, understand that the US military is the world's strongest, so give us a break. That they tired of Afghanistan after 20 years is no wonder.
    1
  22.  @vaska1999  "The US never had access to Russian SMO plans!" Of course it did. Have you been completely asleep? The US warned everyone who would listen about the invasion from the fall of 2021. It said Russia was determined to invade. And later it knew about the Prigozhin rebellion before the Kremlin. The US has had detailed intelligence regarding Russian plans in general. Also a lot of info can be derived from force deployments, choices in logistics, orders given to batallions and more. When Russia sends along lightly armed brutal police forces and tell them to expect to police Kiev after the take-over, do you think that was just a diversionary tactic? E.g. this: On 25 February, due a lack of communications with the main invasion command, a convoy of special police units OMON and SOBR from the Kemerovo Oblast accidentally separated from the invasion forces and ended up charging and spearheading the attack at Kyiv by themselves. The convoy was spotted by local transit CCTV cameras and were ambushed by local Ukrainian forces using anti-tank missiles and mortars at a bridge over the Irpin River, and the unarmored and under-equipped units were completely destroyed. Reportedly, of the 80 soldiers in the convoy, only 3 survived. Why send OMON toward Kyiv, you think? You don't have to be a genius to understand the Russian thinking behind that.

  23.  @ISRAEL-CONTROL-AMERICA  dude, stop being a mindless putinist cheerleader. We know that Russia expected and planned for a really short war. The evidence for that is completely overwhelming.

  24.  @ISRAEL-CONTROL-AMERICA  "If the so called No1 military power in the world couldn't beat goat keepers for 20yrs after spending trillions of dollars" They beat them every day of the week, but they tired of trying to civilize them. "you expect Russia to take down the biggest army in Europe after Russia." No, I expect Russia to keep losing. "These are Nato foot soldiers with mercenaries and NATO service men in Ukranian uniforms equiped to the teeth" There are no mercenaries on the side of Ukraine, just some volunteer foreigners. 98%+ of those fighting in Ukraine are Ukrainians. "equiped to the teeth with Nato so called game changer weapons which eventually turned into game blamers" They haven't got access to most of the equipment that NATO relies on to dominate a battle space. Still many of the game changers remain game changers, including HIMARS, HARM, Storm Shadow, NATO artillery and air defenses. But there are lots of stuff that they haven't received, like western fighter jets and all the various ammunition types that go with them, marine assets, ATACAMs, land-based cruise missiles and more.

  25.  @pcuimac  I'll take US statements over this RT firehose of lies any day of the week, yes. I actually feel sorry for you guys who listen to Russian propaganda and then spout emojis in support of Russia. It's so feeble-minded one really despairs about humanity sometimes.

  26.  @lucasholy7821  "that 3 day SMO was said by gen. Miley to News reporters" You're the 10th moron saying that, yes, but Milley reflected the Russian expectations, and we know Russia expected it to be really swift. They force deployments and their logistics proves it, as does the Russian propaganda including both their state TV's propagandists and RT staff like Macgregor and Ritter.

  27.  @serz1885  " russia was in 2.5 days 30km from kiev have a look where is bucha" They were stopped by Ukrainian forces. Otherwise they would have taken Kiev, as they expected and planned to do. And they massacred people in Bucha in disappointment and as revenge. "and stayed there till pease agreement in turkey have been signed by ukraine but because of boris all been scraped" This is a Russian cope narrative. They had already lost the battle for Kyiv when they gathered their last washing machines and sprinted back to Russia. Regardless of Turkey negotiations, they were being destroyed and had to retreat. Also there's zero evidence that Boris stopped any deal.

  28.  @jeffhicks8428  "Russia clearly expected someone to negotiate with after they "showed their hand" that they were serious about military " Nonsense. They clearly expected to be able to take Kyiv. They sent in OMON forces with the invaders to police Kyiv, they activated assassination crews that were tasked to kill Zelensky, they had tried to bribe lots of officials to surrender and they spent huge amounts of elite paratroopers on Hostomel. And their convoys going toward Kyiv were huge. "They got no such thing because Russia is too cautious and constantly misjudges the US badly." Russia wasn't too cautious. They had built up meticulously for years for this moment and threw everything they had at it, but they simply overestimated their capabilities to do modern maneuver warfare. "Anyone with two brain cells can see that the US wanted this war badly, and Russia was trying to do everything to avoid it," That's ridiculous. The information bubble you have to be in to believe that... Wow. The US did everything to warn and try to negotiate, along with other western countries, but Putin had decided to do this years ago and just put forth extreme demands that he knew NATO would have to reject (like leave the Baltics and Poland undefended). Putin wanted this reconstitution of the Russian Empire to be his legacy as one of the great tsars. "All the US wants is regime change against Putin, they don't care how many lives it takes or how long it takes, 10 days or 10 years." Quite the opposite. The US is scared of any such change, because they have no clear plans of how to deal with a disintegrating Russia and all the nukes that could go astray or fall in the hands of a more reckless next dictator.

  34.  @vadimnagano there was no Georgia plan. You're not listening. Russia's force deployments and orders clearly show the intent to quickly occupy Kyiv. You seem stuck in Russian propaganda. Tell me, do you think Donbass Doug and Ritter the Diddler are truthful guys, or do you understand that they're salaried Kremlin liars?

  35.  @walterdark8336  I feel that all the Russian looting of household tech and cultural artefacts, the massacres, the torture centres, the c-strations and torture of POWs, the r-pes of civilians, the constant shelling and targeting of civilian infrastructure, the destruction of the Khakovka dam, the use of grain and global food shortages as extortion, the vicious nuclear sabre-rattling, the attacks on the ZNPP and much more perhaps has reduced the perceived moral high ground of Russia. It's not fully "all white".

  36.  @RealPolitik-dy4it  Prigozhin almost took Moscow with 5,000 men. Listen, dude, here's some facts for you: * The Kyiv offensive comprised of 70,000 soldiers. * 2-3 dozen Russian military helicopters (in the first wave alone) transported/escorted hundreds of VDV to grab Hostomel airport. The assault was an attempt to secure the site as an airbridge for Russians to transport ADDITIONAL troops and heavy equipment (such as artillery and tanks) for an invasion on Kyiv proper. * Antonov Airport and Vasylkiv Air Base were also attacked for similar reasons. * Wagner Group mercenaries and Chechen forces made several attempts to assassinate Zelenskyy. Saboteur infiltrators also operated in Kyiv. * Russia had tried its best to bribe key Ukrainian staff to surrender and cooperate. * The offensive included lightly armed special police units OMON and SOBR from the Kemerovo Oblast tasked with (brutally) policing Kyiv after takeover. With all these force deployments, and the orders they were given, we KNOW that Russia expected and attempted to rapidly occupy Kyiv. They didn't expect Zelensky to negotiate, they expected him to be assassinated or flee! Also, there was an expectation from Moscow that a lot of people in Kyiv wouldn't care or even be positive. Because, remember, the Russian propaganda even fool the elites to some extent. It's like the Iraq war; the US elites probably believed the WMD narrative. They pushed hard for evidence, the intelligence community bent over backwards to produce it, filtered any WMD indications up the chain of command and was trusted. You have listened too much to the Russian propaganda and made too little broad investigations of your own to understand what happened. You're emotionally invested in Russia not being incompetent, so you refuse the grim reality.

  37.  @RealPolitik-dy4it  so you pretend like nothing happened when I prove you wrong? Why am I not surprised?

  38.  @ReikerForge  you're not making sense. How is that backtracking? And when did Milley say "massive failure"?
    1
  39.  @struvrim7637  "the battle of Baghdad did not exist, it took 3 days to complete the redeployment, crushing minor pockets of resistance" Yes, and that was what Russia was aiming for in Kyiv. They planted assassination and saboteur squads, bribed ukrainian officials to fold and tell their subordinates to stand down, shock and awe, huge columns of armor making the occupation seem inevitable, VDVs taking over airports to ferry in reinforcements, air superiority, a fleeing leadership. That was what Russia envisioned and went for, but couldn't pull off. But it thought it could.

  40.  @struvrim7637  I have some respect for OSINT when it's piecing together real info. But just bouncing Russian propaganda narratives on a peace deal around isn't OSINT to my mind. What we know is that Erdogan claimed Ukraine was prepared to accept 4 out of 6 Russian demands, but among the demands Ukraine couldn't accept was the continued occupation of Crimea and parts of Luhansk and Donetsk. Putin often lies, and often tries to portray himself as reasonable when he's not. The geostrategic position of Kyiv hasn't deteriorated to my knowledge, people who matter don't take Putin's lies seriously. His lie that Russia retreated from Kyiv as a good-will gesture in connection to the peace talks is ridiculous - the Russian presence was simply militarily untenable. They were overextended sitting ducks, essentially, and took it out on civilians as in Bucha.
    1
  41.  @denisogorodnikov6581  how about speaking English? No, Russia retreated from Kiev because it's offensive was being crushed. They were sitting ducks and the situation was untenable, so they had to flee. Russia wanted to capture Kyiv in order to be able to dictate all terms and put a vassal like Lukashenko in charge of Ukraine.
    1
  42.  @bjornborg4849  Baghdad was taken in 6 days and it's far, far bigger than Kyiv. Russia expected Kyiv to fall rapidly. We know this. E.g. they sent in omon troops to police it. And no, they didn't really have backup plans, but of course they improvise decently. Also, you don't know that the west made Ukraine not sign the peace treaty. That's Russian propaganda that you choose to believe for some reason.
    1
  43.  @denisogorodnikov6581  there's no magic. Russian columns and advances simply got bogged down with overstretched logistics and no air superiority, and thus couldn't sufficiently protect against artillery and javelins/nlaws. Russia made huge attempts to push to Kyiv but was repelled, stopped and eventually had to flee. You're presenting Russian cope, but your military clearly failed. Is it so hard to own that?
    1
  44.  @denisogorodnikov6581 Kyiv is a big city. It can't be leveled with limited numbers of very expensive conventional long-range missiles. They could've targeted the government blocks in Kyiv, sure, but it wouldn't have made much of a difference, probably. People went to bomb shelters anyway and military HQs are always hardened, hidden and distributed. "if the APU were really capable of defending Kiev, they would not have allowed an instant breakthrough to it." Dude, overextension is a thing. "ut I suppose it's useless to discuss this topic with you, since you will definitely not change your opinion" Will you? "after the approach to Kiev, several attempts were made at negotiations" Because Russia stalled and failed to make progress. Otherwise, Putin wouldn't have negotiated. "as a result of which the Ukrainian delegation signed agreements on the completion of the special operation" Uhm, no they didn't. "But the cunning Ukrainians (maybe it sounds absurd, but not more absurd than your version of overloaded logistics" Everybody watching real news could see the overstretched logistics play out in real time with the stalled armored columns and Russians desperately raiding for fuel and food. But I guess they never told you about it in Russian news? You can read the wikipedia entry for "Russian Kyiv convoy". "they had an airport" They were decimated when trying to take airports. Huge numbers of VDV were wiped out. Manpads shot lots of Russian planes out of the sky and there was no realistic possibility for Russia to reinforce by air. "deceived everyone and declared it a victory" In western news we could see from a few days into the war that the Russian offensive stalled and that they increasingly became sitting ducks. So it wasn't a surprise to us that the Russians eventually had to flee. We understood that their position was untenable. They had also made a huge blow to what little reputation Russia had left by committing the Bucha massacre, among other crimes. This also will have been misrepresented in your news. I'm sorry, but you should try to understand that everything you've been told from Russian and pro-Russian sources is deceptive.

  45.  @rpaul23455  yes, NATO trained Ukrainians and provided some small arms and uniforms, but before the war, NATO refused to sell or give Ukraine any heavy weaponry, because they thought that would be provoking to Russia. That's why Ukraine wasn't able to fully resist the Russian full-scale invasion.

  46.  @StMichael7  which members of US media are "admitting" that Ukraine is losing? Sounds very strange considering Ukraine is slowly progressing.

  48.  @StMichael7  in a chess game, if the referees complain that one side can't make progress, then that side has a better position, some advantage that's normally winning, and is expected to win if he can just find a way to break through. So Russia is losing.

  49.  @StMichael7  that's you projecting your own problems unto me. That slow progress for Ukraine means the other side is winning is ridiculous on the face of it. Upgrade your logic unit.

  50.  @StMichael7  so Ukraine has been stalling and is thus losing. Russia has been stalling too and is thus losing as well? Or has Russia made progress in your world?
    1
  51.  @StMichael7  ah, so it's not really the stalling that informs you that Ukraine is losing. What really informs you is reporting that emphasizes, exaggerates and dramatizes Ukrainian losses without proper context, such as the extreme Russian losses? Why didn't you say so?
    1
  52.  @StMichael7  history legends monetizes telling pro Russians what they want to hear. He has no special access to info. Sorry, your perception that Ukraine is losing is based on the cherry picking of info that favors Russia. In reality, Ukraine is slowly winning.

  54.  @sboss774  there's a genuine wish among Ukrainians to be free and democratic, to escape Russia's fascism and corruption. That's why they're resisting Russia's brutal, illegal and imperialist invasion, and that's why the collective democratic west is supporting their struggle.
