  1.  @noodleppoodle  Not everyone in Hungary support Putin's footstool Orban.

  2. They system is increasingly inadequate. I should mention that there are Belarusian, Russian, Chechen and Siberian Battalions fighting for Ukraine. And that is just the beginning.

  3. In short: Ukraine started with around 200k man, most of that was ground forces as they don't really have navy and only limited defensive airforces. Russia has 1 milion army... on paper. In many cases those were literal paper soldiers who never exist with they salaries going on colonel Dacha. From that only 1/4 is ground force, as Russia has large navy, huge humber of aircrafts, rail force, strategic forces, military police, etc. So from beginning of the war number of deployed soldiers was inefficient (150k initial forces, plus 50-100k of military police and separatists, who could not exactly fight). But it was compensated with large number of tanks and artillery. For reminder attacker should have 3 to 1 advantage at least. After war started Ukraine make general mobilization and raised up to 1 milion soldiers. From that around 300k is on the front, rest is training and rotating. Problem is lack of equipment what need to be restored, trained and delivered. Russia didn't mobilize and struggle to keep they numbers. Relying on mercenaries like SS Wagner and forced Ukrainian conscripts. They do not train or rotate they forces and not even provide them basic healthcare. As such Russia sustain massive attrition in both man and hardware (130-190k dead depending on the source). Mobilization helped them stabilize battlefield, but Russia struggle to maintain 300k forces on battlefield. They finally did train some number of mobilized, for few months, but it is not expected to be more then 100-200k people. So yes. They can double they forces, but would it matter? Probably not. But it is still open game. Ukrainians seams to intentionally allow Russia to lost people in pointless attacks on reinforced position. But we would not know in the end. Statistically, Russia lossless more, more resist to admit defeat. But Russia has huge capacity for ignoring the losses.

  4.  @filipzivanac821  You speak about Russian Tanks reserves? Ones where 1/3 never existed, 1/3 is in nonoperational state and rest was sold off?

  5.  @djsrocky955  The difference is that NATO didn't attack anyone in Europe. Ruxia attacked Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, etc. Now everyone wounder why no one want work with Russian serial killer?

  6. Things I do see is that Koreans focus more on land combat when Japanese on the seas. They are quite equal in this merit.

  7.  @edwardkim8972  I didn't said it isn't. But purely because geographic reasons Japanese focus more on other branch of military then Koreans. Risk of Korea going full in the ground combat is high. Japan not so much.

  8. Poland also would buy three modern Frigates and acquired license on producing Super Cobra attack helicopters.

  9.  @ayoutubechannel8228  Everyone know that. Poles and Ukrainians reconcile after that. When Russa end on world junkyard exactly be doing now, what they did century ago.

  10.  @filipzivanac821  That was from statement of Russian general. But what ever. Best to accuse others of own crimes.

  11.  @barbadolid5170  I mean Russia did. They lost control. Others really didn't. Any country what separated from USSR do not consider himself as looser.

  12.  @bigty390  According to who? People who claim destroying twice as many HIMARS then there were send and three Bradley's before they were even send?

  13.  @seanlander9321  The main issue is that most of those rockets were build during Soviet era and Russia is incapable to recover many of those systems. Russia also did go way below they strategical reserve. One or problems people have with understanding "running out" is that it doesn't mean that Russia would be dry. But that it is limited to ongoing production. What vastly decease they offensive capabilities. It is true reason they go with Iranian drones.

  14.  @ivancho5854  That was basically the thing. West is still largest producer of weapons for West. But Germans were making a problems, French were shilling to Russia and US has it short list. That is why Korea become major suppliers to some of the European countries.
    6
  15.  @distorteddingo9230  Dude. Poland is European country. Guess who develop those semi conductors? Being major producer is not the same as being major developer. A lesson China learn the hard way. Poland is major parts developer for the Germany. They are not what Russian propaganda claim to be a few decades ago.

  16.  @JeffinBville  Also movie is a satire. Stalin never actually used human wave tactic. Soviets lack radios early in the war and due to nature of the front, have hard time with coordination. At least early in the war. Problem was largely solved later. Blocking forces never actually shoot in the back of retreating soldiers. Only prevent route, in most cases diplomatically. Force was used rarely. Soviets in fact lack ammo in Stalingrad. For that purpose rationing was severe and soldiers were ordered to grab any ammunition they can find. But in reality only logistic forces didn't have weapons, due to lack of sufficient numbers. But most combat units absolutely did have weapons and ammo. In reality Soviet forces were better commanded then that (experienced officers from the civil war), though Soviet units have shortcomings on tactical level. Unfortunately Putin watch too many propaganda and actually organized own military based on slander and immeasurable Russian forces (forgetting that they were equipped by United States). Even if Russia double they forces, it would only equalize them to number of Ukrainians, who play the long game. When Russia never realized that they use insufficient forces for offensive.

  17. Correction. Russia did attack civilian targets (including hospitals) from beginning of the war. It is why they current threats of terror attacks are welcomed with moderate indifference. Bean and done. Russia fill basically full war crime bing at this point. Furthermore from historical point of view strategical terror bombings never worked. In fact we do know that they galvanize resistance toward invader (with thin margin of surprise when it may work). Furthermore it may be dark, but each missile hitting civilian house, is less such hitting actual military targets. And Ukraine fire back and does that accurately.

  18. So Russia make Handmaid Tell a reality?

  19.  @Xentradi97  This deal was a thing before the war. For reminder Krab howitzers already include Korean parts.

  20. Thing what lot of people forget is that there is massive difference between state of war and expeditionary operations. NATO is not at war with Russia. Things still need go through tons of red tape. When state war open floodgate.

  21.  @DavidHalko  It is why they build factory in Poland.

  22.  @durema9720  Chechenia is still in state of civil war. There are Kadirovites, but also Batalion of Sheikh Mansur, who oppose them.

  23.  @creedness733  And Dagestan may actually also rebel... they already called Jihad on Putin.

  24. Rather incompetent tactics, plus fact that half of them were already barely operational.

  25.  @genegene7028  Yes. And Mars is they rightful soil. Because it is Red.

  26.  @tbraghavendran  Neh. Chinese need woman.

  27.  @obser7088  I wouldn't say that US was untrustable. When China (at the time) stop being a threat, North Korea also stop being same level of threat. Americans absolutely still are in the South Korea. But throwing away kid wheels is not a bad thing on its own. That is why Poland pick South Korea over Germany.

  28. Russia didn't really have other choice...

  29.  @PatrickHenryggSon  It didn't truly until 2006. People forget that Putin was initially working with NATO. Relation plumed after he realized that Russia do not have privileged status of co-hegemon. Because that isn't actually a thing. US never actually was at war from WW2. All what you did see were actually Special Military Operations. I suggest check in how many wars Russia was involved.

  30.  @piotrskodowski7544  It always was. European demilitarization was paralel to rot in Russian military. As Germans didn't want Russia to fear them. But then Putler was hit by dementia and start thinking that he lead USSR.

  31.  @felipe-vibor  Poland do not want Lviv anymore. There is no point.

  32.  @Jondiceful  Tsarists though exact the same during Bolshevik revolution. Disperse the opposition... conscript them... give them guns... and what could go wrong?

  33.  @JMM33RanMA  Lol. Korea doesn't compete with US over weapons. But Germans and France.

  34. The Russian hubris is outstanding!

  35.  @ruffgook  Poland is NATO force and other NATO countries already are there. Furthermore as we did see from war on Ukraine, forces from Uncle Sam can arrive faster then from the Russia.

  36. ​ @debrainwasher  You are delusional Ivan. South Korea as anyone else do not care about opinion of field state pretending to be superpower, who now give them full reason to act hostile with North Korean troops and weapons sells to Kim regime. And Russia would suffer for that. Still, South Korea has more important things to do then bother with third world countries like Russia.

  37.  @steven4315  Yup. And Russia become weaker and weaker.

  38. It should be pointed out that this initiative is answer on problem of "Europe of two speeds". Old Western countries hold too much influence in EU and were ignoring Central-South Europe, with risky complacent pro-Russian politic (mostly Germany but also France). 3SI was formed as joint diplomatic block intended to counter German influence and also speed up development of new EU countries. But initiative is not targeted against EU, it is intended as part of it.

  39.  @proselytizingorthodoxpente8304  That is already happen. Russia is Chinese colony at this point.

  40. It is worth to remind that Poland never received Marshal plan...

  41. Putin ignore many things. Most notably reality.

  42.  @Har1ByWorld  Poland absolutely do not want have anything to do with Moscow. Even as reclaimed land.

  43.  @joseaca1010  Russia still did have military back then...
    3
  44.  @RoScFan  Eh. Why Germany? Whole Prussia belong to Poland. The problem is that no one actually want it (too many Russians). I think the probable scenario is it being split between Poland and Lithuania. Hell! Maybe even Czech meme about Kralevec become reality?

  45.  @kshaku  Yeh. Anyone but not Russia.

  46.  @starmnsixty1209  They absolutely do know that. There are Belarusian, Tatar, Siberian, Free Russian and Chechen battalions on Ukraine. At least from those we know about.

  47.  @edwardkim8972  So Japanese also have decent ground force. But it is limited by the factor of demand.

  48.  @matovicmmilan  Russia has at best 600 T-90's (not all operational), bulk of they hardware is T-72B3. The 1600+ tanks is number of loses confirmed visually by Oryx. But of course number of real loses is way higher. Ukrainians claim Russia loosing over 3000 tanks. It is speculated that they can still activate at best around 1000 tanks. The prewar number was around 2800 tanks (we may ignore they claimed reserves as most demand deep refurbishing).

  49. Also Poland contrary to popular opinion has combat experience. Cooperation also include sharing Western though to improve Korean designs. For reminder K2PL is actually heavily upgraded and they also would work on K3.

  50.  @usernwn7qe  Fun fact. It actually didn't. From 3'th century, every person in Empire gain citizenship. Including Germanic barbarians, who supposedly conquered it. Due to this proces power traveled to Greek Constantinople. Which actually used balcanization of West as excuse to ignore fact that Frankish Kingdoms actually recognized Emperor (Clovis 1 was in fact officially a Roman Consul). Roman Senate even operated during Ostrogoth. Anyway, when Charlemagne usurped title of the emperor after Byzantine succession crisis, it wasn't actually anything particular. And fun fact. Europe is again united.
