  1.  @jamesmccaul2945  Not in the same lane, tight. They are quite different. But with one thing in common: They are unbiased. At least the most unbiased to be found out there. Both have personal opinions, yes. But their analyses are from an unbiased point of view, both Perun and Anders Puck Nielsen. That's why I find it so interesting to witness those two meet.

  2. Another wound for Russia = Bakhmut? Zelensky: "Wanna hear a joke?" Putin: "Yes." Zelensky: "Kyiv." Putin: "I don't get it...?" Zelensky: "No. And you'll never get it!" Zelensky: "Wanna hear another joke?" Putin: "Yes." Zelensky: "Bakhmut." (...Putin dies of a heart attack out of frustration). Slava Ukraini!

  3. Very good description. I don't know Sponge Bob, but it sounds a big marshmallow, à lá the Michelin Man.

  4.  @stevengrice1807  That would require russia to declare it a war zone. In turn requiring them to name their "special military operation" a "war". Until then, from russia's perspective, officially, I don't think it's a war zone (we all know that in reality it is). At least the status of the Black Sea in that area is in the grey zone.

  5.  @bluemarlin8138  Indeed that's true. It is a no-no [Edit] Not that we can expect the russians to care.

  6. Denmark here. I actually did learn about these terms, in the 8th year of elementary school, and later in highschool.

  7. I saw footage of russian conscripts getting ready for being sent to the front. They too were training in the wet element - they were up to their throat drunk in vodka.

  9.  @StarsManny  "Why do the Finn's Finns know?" (just to remind you to write in English). The comment is about russian dual-citizens in Finland. So they are in Finland, and besides being russians they are Finns as well, at least on paper.

  11.  @ggez-yc1ui  Sharing information is good. It can at times alert oneself to something one didn't know in advance, or confirm something one already knows, or one can find out that there's nothing to it. Sharing opinions is good, forcing one's own opinion upon others is not. Sharing opinions is good when one can maintain a healthy discussion. It can broaden one's own perspective, ultimately making it easier for oneself to at some point take the right decisions. It all depends on how the parties involved conduct the discussion.

  12. As with "Perun" (channel) "Anders Puck Nielsen" is among the most unbiased channel around, purely analytic. While both personally support Ukraine they keep their videos neutral, and always make it clear if they say something of their own opinion. These two channels I must give my highest recommendations.

  13. "- raises your own partisan slant..." What and how? I hope you realise that Anders is from Denmark with sixteen different political parties currently in parliament, repressenting a very broad spectrum, and you can't easily compare them to either this or that significant party in the US or the UK. I ask you to explain what you mean, because after having watched nearly all Anders' videos over the years I have never experienced him being partisan, neither in this video.

  14.  @rambleon2838  I got that warning, in newspapers and in the TV news, on the 8th march. Latvia, USA and a number of other countries gave the same warning. So of course russia did get that warning, and if they didn't believe it, now they faced the results of not believing a fair warning. I guess when the terrorists saw warnings everywhere they postponed their attack a couple of weeks until things had cooled down. But really, when a number of other countries besides USA all give such a warning, the russians should expect it to be genuine. They must suffer from a severe case of paranoia, probably because they know their genocidal war against Ukraine is wrong, and we don't like it. I'm very sure the russians could have stopped the attack if not in advance then racted with very few minutes (not 1½ hour). But maybe they didn't want to stop it? Maybe the russian regime actually wanted a disaster, so they could blame somebody (UA) else? The russian national guard has thousands of troops a few minutes down the road from the concert hall, trained to react to this sort of situation. Why did russia choose not to react, to let the terrorists continue a killing spree for 90 mins.?

  15. What a development in only 6 days. And unfortunately - you were right. Probably you even were right about the Winter Olympics, ending on the 20th febr.: Putin kept the invasion secret and only told his generals in the last moment. At that point the invasion was postponed "a few days" because 20% of the Russian vehicles weren't ready for action before receiving urgent repairs. Finally the invasion started on (not the 24th but already on) the 23rd february as documented on live footage from the UN Security Council meeting the 23rd in the evening.

  16. How's the war going? Fun loving Russians are having a blast in Crimea.

  17. russia has fought about 156 wars and lost about half of them. For sure russia can and will lose many more wars.

  18. Anders, thank you for the analysis. I hope many people will watch this. Too many people are slow to wake up.

  19. Just to clarify to avoid confusion I'm sure you mean Anders' normal videos (which are indeed somewhat "short"), not to be confused with smartphone format YT "shorts" (always under a minute) of which he has only made two. This reply is meant for anyone who could misunderstand. Thanks for your input. Cheers.

  21.  @luffebassen  To be honest it was "2 days" and back in 2014. "If I wanted, in two days I could have Russian troops not only in Kyiv, but also in Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, Warsaw and Bucharest." ( Vladimir Putin, 12-09-2014 - Versiya newspaper, 18-09-2014)

  27. ​@black_triton9264 Your last comment, incl. "what do you suppose will happen ...his career would end" is completely wrong. Because 2½ years into the full-scale invasion his career has in no way ended, though whenever he found that it was the case that russia was doing well in some area of significance, he never failed to say it. He is in the news on national TV about Ukraine almost weekly, so with your statement you clearly hasn't listened very well, or not at all.

  28. Anders Puck Nielsen and Jade McGlynn both have superb understanding on that topic, each in their own way.

  33. ​ @kaimanyu586 A primary school kid can tell you that, yes. But a high-school kid can tell you that it isn't so. Because the US economy is so well consolidated the US can (and do) lend money at extremely low interest rates, next to nothing. Therefore the US can freely lend what they want, it doesn't really matter to the US, because they can easily pay it back. It's not because they lack the money. If they didn't have the money, their interest rate wouldn't be so low. Other countries are happy to lend the US money at so low rates because it's a safe bank for them. Completely contrary to russia.
    2
  34.  @kaimanyu586  The russian economy is "growing" with money from russia's well fund/ war chest being poured into the weapons industry and thus society. That has the same result as simply printing more money: On the short term the russians have more money to spend. On the long term it grows inflation and thus ruining society. And russian inflation is now among the highest in the world (yes, Argentina is higher). Therefore the "growth" of russia's economy is not good for russia, it's bad. And it's only going to get worse, because at this point it's beyond possible reverse. As one russian economist put it: "It's a horror to witness this destruction of russia's economy. But it's fascinating to follow to situation."

  35. One and a half year later this is still very useful, still holds true.

  36. I 100% agree. Nice graphics is just a nice topping, Anders' analyses is the central thing. And Anders is good at giving us things to think about, and making us wiser too.

  37.  @anderspuck  @ Anders - Hemrik Krodal højere oppe (ca. 1 time efter upload) skrev flg. til dig: - - - - - - - - - "Thanks for another great analysis. I also think Putin has the same problem as the US under the Vietnam war. More and more Russians now know someone, who have lost a father, son or brother in the war, so I think the Russians are starting to see through the propoganda. I wooul really like to have been to your lecture in Ringe library, but life :) the next part is in Danish Jeg ville have haft 3 spørgsmål til dit foredrag i Ringe, måske du har tid til at svare på dem her. Alle militær-analytikere i verden så Ruslands væbnet styrker, som den næststørste efter USA. Alle mente Ukraine ville blive rendt over inden for en meget kort tid. Kunne man tænke sig at andre store nationer, såsom Kina, også kun har en en "papir styrke" og den rigtige styrke måske ikke er så slagkraftig? I forlængelse af første spørgsmål. I Europa har vi virkelig oprustet efter invasionen, men når man ser Ruslands evner mod Ukraine, er det så overhovedet realistisk at Rusland kan angribe et andet land? Når jeg tænker på sikkerhedsdilemmaet, så bliver et Rusland efter krigen jo nød til også at opruste igen, nu hvor de har mistet en masse materiel. Det sidste :) Tænker du at Rusland har ret i at, de kæmper en proxy-krig mod NATO? Jeg tænker på den økonomiske hjælp til Ukraine fra NATO-lande, de militære bidrag, (træning og udstyr) og til sidst de økonomiske sanktioner. Det er jo i virkeligheden nok mest NATO-medlemmerne som er bannerførere på alt dette, hvor andre lande holder sig mere neutrale. På forhånd tak Henrik (tidligere kadet)"

  38.  @dh1380  Correct, he didn't come up with it. It's probably lost in history who did unless it was Sun Tsu millenia ago (even he could be quoting someone else of his own time). [Edit] It was Robert Greene in his book "The 33 Strategies of War" (2006)

  39.  @Jobo-wz9ug  I remember in the 1990's when there was much debate about opening up for the East European countries into the EU. Many were worried. "They are less developed and poor, but we can handle that, but... they will threaten our leading own position" (Please note, I'm from a small country not in any such "leading" position). I could understand that, but felt it was terribly wrong. "No! We do not need anyone to be 'leading', we all have our say, have mutual similarities and differences, and we will evolve and prosper even when we quarrel." The values of freedom and Democracy is what bind us all together, and even when I used to be opposing EU as such, I've always been glad to have EU enriched by all the new nations, new ideas and culture etc., that joined us. And I am very excited about the prospects of Ukraine joining the EU, a people so full of inspiration. Let's help them to make it happen soon. 🔱🌻 Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! Stay safe! 💙💛

  40. When Russia is inly the second strongest army in Ukraine then Ukraine must be the strongest army in Europe. I believe we should give Ukraine a highspeed ticket into EU and NATO as soon as the war is over. ...... - - - - - Not only for several obvious reasons: They deserve it (yes they do). They know how to fight "the NATO way" (they do, and more). They are the largest and far most experienced army in Europe (they are). ...But also for protecting their underground natural resources (Oh no, not oil again? Yes, sorry, oil and gas), for those are needed to help finance rebuilding and evolving the country. Russia is the one who has to pay, yes, both with the longterm effect of the sanctions Russia won't be in a position to do so for decades, their economy will end up more than devastated. We must ensure Ukraine comes back up and prospers. Neighbouring Poland will be an EU netto provider (adding more than they recieve) in only a couple of years. Its a mutual benefit for Poland, EU, and NATO. Ukraine can become the same, a solid pillar for our common prosperous future. Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! Stay safe!

  41.  @freedomfighter22222  Good points. Concerning "maybe another Sumy attack"... - Zolochiv. Keep an eye on Zolochiv. N-W of Kharkiv, 20 km from the border, center of the pocket or "bubble" that swings into the russian region of Belgorod. 10,000 inh. so the size of Vovochansk to the N-E of Kharkiv, or Avdiivka. The russians have amassed troops around the pocket. Ukraine 2 days ago started to evacuate the civilians from the town. That's several days after W. countries and 2 days after USA allowed weapons to be used inside russia. Despite this, the russians are planning something. This is the earliest I've seen the Ukrainians evacuate civilians until now. They are expecting something, and I guess something big.

  42. ​@HeadsFullOfEyeballs Exactly. Zelenskyy's T-shirt is his version of a wartime simple uniform. Churchill too during WW2 only wore a simple military uniform, never a suit.

  43. If Putin goes ahead with the the announced "polls" in the conquered regions to absorb them into Russia this september the Putin will have burnt those bridges.

  45. Last spring and autumn last year operation, or rather: Movement, advances, slowed down, but did in no way stop. Ukraine advanced on Kherson while Wagner Gr. advanced on Bakhmut (and the russian MoD army advanced nowhere for 15 months since Lysychansk). I guess we can expect about the same for the coming wet season: Movement slowed down but not stopping.

  46. 25th jan. Anders Puck Nielsen predicts the war will start "during the Winter Olympics." 20th febr. Final day of the Winter Olympics. xx? of febr. ("a few days before the actual start") Putin informs his generals to start an invasion then postpones it for "a few day" as 20% of the Russian military vehicles aren't combat ready and need urgent repairs. 23rd febr., evening, during the UN Security Council meeting the invasion is started and announced in Kreml. 24th febr. The "Special... Operation" is announced to the world.

  47. ...so Anders, I guess you were right, it was Putin's plan to start the invasion already towards the end of the Winter Olympics. Only his military equipment (and his generals, and soldiers, and - and - and, etc.) wasn't as ready as Putin was himself.

  49. I seems that when bunker-grandpa in Moscow in Febr. 2022 started his full-scale invasion he thought that the West would easily be split, divided. I think this video explain some of what he had in mind. Well, to a large extent he was wrong, the West is more united now than it has been for a long time.

  50. 1 time gammel, næsten ny udsendelse, og du har 700 kommentarer allerede. Imponerende. Det viser, at du vækker tanker i folk. [Eng] Good short analysis covering many important points. Clearly this was well planned, yes. The incredibly speedy advance on Moscow proves it. Then, was it "all-or-nothing" instead of arrest? Maybe, or not. The question is if the Luka-deal was "planned" ("false flag...")? Which I don't think, I think Prigozhin was oppotunistic. But who knows. Some small details or questions (rumours) got little attention in the media and blurr the picture. 1) If Ukraine helped in some way? Zelenskyy did come on the screen to insult Pootin; why, unless he was expecting it could help on an expected fall of Pootin? I did hear that russia jammed some surveilance options over russia. Another thing that got hardly any attention (and I did not check if it is true). Crypto currency. I heard about a "Wagner-coin" crypto, of which Prigozhin should have owned the major part, that went sky high in value with the munity going on, then dropping drastically again with the "agreement" rumours rolling in. Did Prigozhin sell his own coins when it topped, before making a deal? I hope someone else can tell us more about this, if there's anything to it. In any case, I think this is far from over yet. And it might come to influence how the war is waged in Ukraine, especially if Prigozhin got some high level power in Kreemlin out of this "deal". Thanks again for the analysis, Anders. 🔱🌻 Slava Ukraini! 💙💛
