Imagine a nation of people who were tired of being under the yoke of Russian rule and deciding enough was enough. HOW DARE THEY!!

They certainly don't have very many smart munitions left which is why they're not using them in huge numbers like they were at the beginning of the war. When was the last time you heard of an Iskander missile strike on Ukrainian targets?

@icarium6031 NATO is absolutely not 'running out of ammo' and you'd be insane to believe such a thing. Sure NATO 155mm artillery stocks are getting burned through pretty quickly, but there's still plenty of stock left and if you didn't know non-NATO members like South Korea are also a very artillery heavy force and therefore have plenty of shells of which they can spare some. Also the US certainly isn't running out of HIMARS/MLRS rockets and they're adding even longer distance guided munitions in GLSDB missiles that they've started to send to Ukraine now. Good luck to any supply dump, troop concentration, command center etc within 150km of the front because now they're all fair game.

@icarium6031 NATO possibly telling Ukraine to slow down its use of artillery shells is much different than every single NATO and non-NATO country running low on 155mm ammunition. New and existing factories are starting to produce more shells but it takes time to get everything going fully the same way its taking Russia to increase its production of munitions and weapons. Also you do realize that the US relies mainly on airpower and that artillery is less important to them right? Even if they do have a lower stock of shells at the moment and war suddenly breaks out with China, the US will be fine when it has tons of guided missiles and bombs to burn through. And even if the US really needed arty shells, it can always get them from its allies which is why its good to be friends with many countries. Also you still haven't answered where YOU get your information from with regards to the war?

@icarium6031 I've listened to the Duran and Ritter somewhat regularly and they're both INSANELY pro-Russian along with Gonzalo Lira who's pretty much a joke these days. If you care about the facts and what's really happening on the battlefield then you should try looking at other sources as well instead of the ones you listed. I mean seriously Alexander from the Duran said before the invasion that the US were fearmongering and was trying to make Russia look bad by saying they were about to invade Ukraine when according to him the Russians weren't going to do so. Then of course when the invasion actually happened Alexander then switched his tune and said that Russia was 'provoked' and that the war would end pretty quickly. Then when the Russians retreated from the Kiev front, both he and Gonzalo tried to paint the Russians abandoning the entire front as being not a big deal and that they were simply redeploying for the great Donbas offensive that would destroy much of the Ukrainian army in the east through large blitzkrieg battles. Then when that didn't happen and the opposite did where the Ukrainians launched a successful Kharkiv offensive and then later on the Kherson offensive, Alexander played it off as neither offensive being not very significant which obviously is a lie because if the Russians did the same thing he'd be jizzing his pants. The point is the guys at the Duran including Ritter and other guests have been wrong numerous times and you can check Ritter's old appearances when he was on the Duran early in the war as a guest and see what he said then and how very wrong he turned out to be. Seriously go check their videos at the beginning of the war and then comeback and tell me that they weren't grossly wrong numerous times and it wasn't even close.

@icarium6031 well they’re not psychic, I don’t know what you mean by pro Russia? I just look for facts. If you care about ALL the facts then you would look elsewhere than places like the Duran because they are MASSIVELY pro-Russian. They do provide facts, HOWEVER they provide facts that ONLY paint the Russian forces, Russia in general and Putin in a positive light. For example Bakhmut is seen by the Duran as being hugely important and its capture will be a massive blow to the Ukrainians both in troop losses as well as the loss of an important city. Maybe that's true, but you'll NEVER EVER hear them talk about the other side of the equation where it took all the countless thousands of Russian deaths and loss of equipment to take that one city and surrounding area. How many units and their hardware have been decimated to take that one relatively tiny area of Ukraine? You'll never hear about that cost from the Duran or most other pro-Russian commentators. That's what the Duran and their guests will always do. Anything positive for the Russians will be huge news and anything negative will be spun as nothing too serious or even completely ignored. If you want at least a decently non-biased look at the war on a daily basis from both the battlefield and on the political spectrum, then you should check out the CredibleDefense subreddit. Now while most people who post there are supporting the Ukrainians, the difference between them and the Duran is that the people in that subreddit care about the facts and will post EVERYTHING from both sides. So even if they are pro-Ukrainian they don't try and present only a pro-Ukraine picture and hide their losses and they don't say that everything Ukraine does is perfect. The difference is that they can stay mostly objective and neutral in presenting new info that becomes available everyday while still hoping that Ukraine can win.

@icarium6031 If you actually believe the Ukrainian army is running out of ammo then the Russians should be in full attack mode and pushing across a broad front because the Ukrainians won't be able to stop them. Seriously dude get out of your bubble and look at ALL the facts and other sources rather than only the ones that support your point of view. People make the joke that if the Ukrainians are winning then they should be in Moscow soon, but on the otherhand if the Russians are winning then when will they be in Kiev? The answer is NEVER. That ship has sailed and will never come back.

@icarium6031 so you don’t think Russia could take Kiev if they wanted? Its kind of looking like america is going to end its war with Russia and start one with China now. I’m just basing this on how American mainstream media is really turning up the Chinese propaganda over the last couple days. If the west stopped giving Ukraine military support then yes absolutely the Russians can take Kiev and probably the rest of the country given enough time. No matter how brave and willing to fight the Ukrainians are, you can't fight without weapons, ammunition and other supplies. However if the west does keep supporting Ukraine with military hardware, ammunition and training etc. then there's ABSOLUTELY ZERO CHANCE that Russia will EVER take Kiev. Their only chance at doing so was at the beginning of the war and they completely messed it up. The amount of tanks and other armored vehicles they lost at the beginning of the war was crazy and they haven't recovered from it since. Why do you think that ever since the Russians retreated from the Kiev front that they haven't launched any significant armored offensive since? All I've seen since is mostly small scaled armored offensives maybe a few dozen IFVs and tanks. The Russians started the war rolling 4 long columns of armored vehicles across 4 different fronts into Ukraine and now they can barely get together even a hundred tanks to launch a proper offensive instead of throwing tons of men against their enemy and taking huge casualties. Also with regards to China I don't know why people are so intent on picking a fight with them. Outside of wanting Taiwan back I don't see them wanting to conquer neighboring countries or desiring to be an empire like Russia or something. They definitely want to be the number one economic power in the world, but it really doesn't seem like they want to be the number one military power in the world.
