  1. THIS - is a good video with insightful observations. The Ukraine invasion of russia on August 1, 2024 was a practical impossibility. Now the invasion of a nuclear armed country - is Historial Fact. And the media - does not seem able to come to grips with the history implications of it. - Until THIS video. What happened two weeks ago was cosmic earth shattering,. In the Cold War - it would have been Unthinkable. Clearly to Joe Biden it was 100% unthinkable. And yet - it happened. Astounding. Only Ukraine can be so bold. It is time for NATO to Join Ukraine. Not the other way around.

  2. Most ordinary russians just want access to better western brands and merchandise. only putin dreams of world conquest. Ukraine can vector hard -like a laser south and east along the border and see how many more in the border regions want to surrender. Vector hard and fast south along the border where there are no trenches or landmines fields and come at the russia military from the flank and from behind. Isolate the russia military in Ukraine and undermine the will of russians there to fight.

  3. Turning point in war - Ukraine's lightning invasion of Russia may bring the end of war closer - If Ukraine can Gert serious about pumping resource into the fight - and pressing hard the advantage. Strike while the Iron if Hot. And baby it is Red Hot - Right Now.

  4. planning for the post putin era has begun. Smart russia will go to democracy in social and economic partnership with Europe. Al the russia monied class already live in Europe. Some gas lines and food shortages should be the straw to break the putin grip. Where will Orban Luchashenko and trump run to? putin will be DoA.

  5. Why in god's name did it take Australia and the USA 2.5 years to figure this out? Talk about asleep at the wheel. My God in Heaven Almighty. Wake up.

  6. There are a whole lot of people in russia hate putin's guts and hate the FSB. A whole lot of people. The Communists had their chance 60 years and relentless screw ups. putin had 25 years and only doubled down on forking everything up. You could well argue putin is 10 x worse then the soviets were. And the Soviets were really really bad. Al Dugin. Alexandre Dugin. Strong advocate of putin to invade Ukraine. One might say architect of it. He's gotta go. The future for russia is as a democracy - in social and economic partnership with Europe. But not the russia we know todaty.  putin, if he can live long enough, will need to surrender to the International Criminal Court at The Hague. Russia will relinquish all nuclear weapons. Russia will wthdraw fro the UN Security Council Russia like a business conglomerate gone off the rails - will need to RESTRUCTURE into a Set of Smaller More Nimble More Geographically appropriate Separate Countries. Not states inside of Russia, Separate Countries. About 17 of them. One in the Far East facing North Korea, China and Mongolia. Central Asia Facing Kazakstan. And 15 more in the region between the Kazak unit and Europe. Then the regional partners can structure relationships with the local country formally part of russia. It solves a tremendous amount of problems where russia itself was run like a colonial empire with Moscow and St Pete doing the exploitation model o the rest of the country.

  9. you wonder how russia can bear the humiliation. You wonder how russians reconcile - day 900+ of putin's 3 days war. You wonder how much more the russia people are willing to bear. And you wonder how deep a hole putin is willing to dig for russia to climb out of once he is gone. Cause putin already set russia back decades if not a century. How much can they bear? How much more contempt is putin willing to heap on his own back and the backs of all russians to bear - indefinitely. the putin era is just another sad tragic and pathetic chapter in the long saga of russia self inflicted tragedy. All the damage - self inflicted.

  10. Come on man. "Russia Elites" all have prestiges properties all across all of Europe bought with Russia Petro dollars stolen from Russia. putin Neve wanted to defeat Europe - putin wanted to OWN Europe. But like a bad Bond Villian - all bad things must come to an end. And so it goes for putin.  If Russia Elites are smart - they had a belly full of soviet era failures. And putin is the soviet relic and the throwback soviet failure. And I would think russia is about sick an tired of it.   The future for Russia - the Destiny putin stole - the destiny putin delayed - is Russia as a democracy in economic and social partnership with Europe.

  11. loses do not matter - what matters is - what do they have left?

  12. well since putin's power is only skin deep - the slightest disruption can ruin everything for putin and with the military blah,ing putin's FSB and the FSB blaming the military - Ukraine additional disruptions will only make the in fighting worse. Time to bring the heat. time for NATO to stand up and push supplies forward time for Joe Biden to mobilize and push supplies forward. Time to fully supply Ukraine. Past time. create the wind that blows down - putin house of cards.

  13. eventually and soon - putin will be the only one left to replace. And the people of russia - will replace him. No doubt planning is in full swing for the Post putin era in russian history. I mean man, If I were russian I'd be sick and tired of the constant unrelenting failures. While ALL russia monied class live the life style of the Rich and Famous - High on the Hog 0 in the best places in Europe using Russia metro dollars - that belong - to the people.

  14. In russia - history is about to repeat itself. From Wikipedia. ""On 21 September 1993, in breach of the constitution, Yeltsin announced in a televised address his decision to disband the Supreme Soviet and Congress of People's Deputies by decree. In his address, Yeltsin declared his intent to rule by decree until the election of the new parliament and a referendum on a new constitution, triggering the constitutional crisis of October 1993. On the night after Yeltsin's televised address, the Supreme Soviet declared Yeltsin removed from the presidency for breaching the constitution, and Vice-president Alexander Rutskoy was sworn in as acting president.[110] Between 21 and 24 September, Yeltsin was confronted by popular unrest. Demonstrators protested the terrible living conditions under Yeltsin. Since 1989, GDP had declined by half. Corruption was rampant, violent crime was skyrocketing, medical services were collapsing, food and fuel were increasingly scarce and life expectancy was falling for all but a tiny handful of the population; moreover, Yeltsin was increasingly getting the blame. By early October, Yeltsin had secured the support of Russia's army and ministry of interior forces. In a massive show of force, Yeltsin called up tanks to shell the Russian White House (parliament building). The attack killed 187 people and wounded almost 500 others.[110] As the Supreme Soviet was dissolved, elections to the newly established parliament, the State Duma, were held in December 1993. Candidates associated with Yeltsin's economic policies were overwhelmed by a huge anti-Yeltsin vote, the bulk of which was divided between the Communist Party and ultra-nationalists. However, the referendum held at the same time approved the new constitution, which significantly expanded the powers of the president, giving Yeltsin the right to appoint the members of the government, to dismiss the prime minister and, in some cases, to dissolve the Duma.[112] This led to the de facto establishment of a super-presidential system"" Or putin will be like Lavrentiy Beria.... again from wikipedia. ""Beria and all the other defendants were sentenced to death on the day of the trial. The other six defendants – Dekanozov, Merkulov, Vlodzimirsky, Meshik, Goglidze and Kobulov – were shot immediately after the trial ended. Beria was executed separately; he allegedly pleaded on his knees before collapsing to the floor wailing. He was shot through the forehead by General Pavel Batitsky"""

  16.  @london2resistance  In the 4 years of WWI according to Wikipedia One billion shells of all kinds, big and small were produced and fired by Europeans at Europeans. All done using 1910 technology. Must have been many many billions of machine gun cartridges. Are you telling me 1910 Europe was more advanced than 2024 Europe? I do not buy the story about production capacity. That story does not hold water.

  17. what do you mean?

  18. How do you spell asleep at the wheel? I am thinking we are watching the final chapter of the putin era in russia - real time. I expect russia post putin planning is in progress. We are on the cusp of the post putin era. Think about it - If you are in the russia military you now understand that the war will continue for years if not decades and likely millions of russia lives will be lost - and the question no one asks or answers - For What? For What? Prior to the russia invasion of Ukraine - Russia Elite all lived the peaceful life of European rich and famous - IN Europe. It was a good life. Now what do they have? Putin heaped more Soviet style failure on top on old Soviet Style Failure. putin is a serial bungler - and it will never get any better. For russia it is past time to move on. And I expect they will. I expect putin will not see Jan 1, 2025. And that is real bad news for Victor Orban and Luchashenko. And Trump. Real Bad news for Farage and LePen too.

  19. Remote device bombs. I cannot imagine a dumber idea than this one. Mind blowing stupid. The product of sick and twisted minds. Why does it sound NAZI? Because it is the NAZI M.O.  This was a massive blunder of epic proportions and Israel will end up paying dearly for it. I can imagine few things that would call for retribution than is gutless attack. Again - the product f sick and twisted minds.  In 1000 years the Arab world will still talk about this attack. Guaranteed. And rightly so.

  20. The USA and NATO have thousands of old Bradley. Send them Over. Where is Joe Biden? Where is the USA? Where is the $1T per year Pentagon? Why does the US Pentagon - Refuse to earn their pay in Urkaine? How can the US Pentagon learn anything about US military capability toe to toe face to face Mano a Mano with russia if the US pentagon will not commit to US Style fighting in Ukraine by supporting Ukraine in the US Style.

  21. NATO fighting Russia will not involve any massed armies. It will be fought with missiles and air power. Nuclear Armed Submarines. Globally. And it will not last long. It will be over very quickly. Why? In Ancient Greece - the military had no capacity to go after top command and control directly. Same in Ancient Rome. Same I the Middle Ages. Same in the USA Civil War, Same in WWI. WWII - in theory - the enemy leadership was accessible through Direct Action. In Vietnam - The USA could have targeted Ho Chi Minh Personally - but didn't. In the Gulf War - The USA Began - by going after Command And Control going after Saddam - directly - immediately. No reason to think a NATo Russia war would be different. In 2024 - Massed Military in the field - is for all intents and purposes - Obsolete. And that is how you know that Humanity has reach a pivot Point. A moment in time where the Dogma of the Quiet Past - is now Obsolete - and Irrelevant. In WWI the military dogma trailed the destructive capability in the field. Similar now. The Dogma of war - only servers puts and has no value to NATO. For NATO - it will simply target putin personally . NATO has the capably to vaporize putin using conventional weapons anywhere he stand on planet Earth. And that is a bare fact. Will that lead putin to go nuclear - his choice - but the fact is - putin will remain alive in a war with NATO - only if NATO decides it wants him alive and for no other reason.

  22. you'd have to assume with this first step - China will eventually go all in with russia to defeat Ukraine - meaning the UK, France, Germany, and the USA Canda and Australia , Italy and Spain, Portugal will all need to do the same. Europe and NATo and the USA should be ramping up manufacturing and production - now. Keep in min in the 4 years of WWI - a billion shells were fired from cannon of many different sizes. Yes a billion shells. I mean if you want to fight WWI again. My suggestion is for NATO to fight NATO style war. Air supremacy hitting commandant control Decap.

  23. Ukraine - Keep moving. Joe Biden - Airlift equipment and supplies- NOW. NATO - Get off your butts. Scour warehouses for idle equipment and supplies - NOW. Ship it ALL to Ukraine.

  24. the only mystery to me is - why this is an isolated event.

  25. Yup, Luc hshenko is in big trouble. Big trouble. No doubt putin already told him to attack.

  26. Keep moving. Bypass pockets of resistance.

  27. Russia began luring new soldiers to the front, promising land in Crimea. Ukraine too. Only putin was lying. Because everything putin says is a lie. poutine only has propaganda - which is deliberate lying. Ukraine was being honest. But the land Ukraine promises is - in the graveyard - obviously.

  28. Dudes, Ukriane. If russia will sacrifice a border position to defend russia - because they have no choice - Let Ukraine make the choice which border position folds. Fact is if ukraine gets the dominoes tipping - they all gonna fall. Me? I pick Kherson. It is farthest from Russia, closest to Crimea and hardest and most expensive for russia to defend.

  29. Bout time Russia figured out there is something rotten in the Kremlin

  30. If ever there was a war ripe for covert ops - this is the one. I wonder if the vote were real - how many votes putin would get. I wonder how many people in russia - hate patin's guts. Millions I am sure.

  31. Not sure why Ukraine feels the need to justify fighting a war putin started. If puttying didn;t want to be invaded - he shoulda stayed home.

  32. Putin "discovers" corruption in the USSR, I mean russia? Shocking. Shocking.

  33. apparently European tolerance for putin bad behavior has run out.

  34. OK, now, how about the Kerch Bridge?

  35. When the russians dismount and flee - they are vulnerable on open ground right ?

  36. Putin moving nukes through russia - it must be an election years in the USA. putin is obsessed with the USA.

  37. You're sick.

  38.  @seijakarjalainen  What?
    1
  39. Thousands of Russians in Kursk under threat of encirclement, soldiers are in panic - nonsense - russians know how to swim. They can swim across the river to escape. It is like the width of a swimming pool.
    1
  40.  @Yuri-z2y  Exactly my point. Ukraine cannot win ceding territory. Any Ukraine strategy to cede territory is a plan to fail. Ukraine should find the military people who think ceding territory to russia is a winning strategy - and give them civilian jobs to get them out of the way - because likely - they work for putin.

  41. the Kremlin is going to lose the war. That - is a given. How do I know? Remember the Sochi Olympics? Remember the Olympic Rings? Remember how the Olympics rings Broke? That is how everything works in russia for over the last 100 years. Everything is broken.

  42. I do not wonder why russians surrender. I wonder why they don't
    1
  43. Will Russia launch nuclear strikes on 32 targets in Europe? - Confidential information was revealed. It is the same as asking will Russia receive 200 MT of Nuclear Strikes vaporizing Moscow and St Pete and every other russia settlement west of the Urals? Because let's face it - that is how it will go down.

  44. you gotta wonder why in this war- this is not a daily occurrence. Has NATO no intelligence? I'd think NATO knows where all the stuff is.

  45. the problem with russia is - 100 years of soviet style saturation propaganda from 1918 until today has fried the russian brain. those who could still think all left when putin invaded Ukraine to escape conscription in the russia feudal society. After Navalny - there is no one left in russia who can think coherently. If there were - Putin'd been gone long ago. Relegated to the trash heap of soviet failures. instead - until today - the nightmare that is brain dead russia drags on. How many russians have to sober ups and wake up - to show putin the door. I think of the False Dimitri One. jumped from a second story window and broke his leg - The Boyars quartered him, burned him up and shote his ashes towards Poland from Whence he came. Putin is from East Germany. Right? A lot of parrallels there. putin and the false Dimitri One

  46. Why is this not a daily occurrence?

  47. Lindsey Graham is a trump and putin stooge.

  48. Clint Eastwood. Heartbreak Ridge. "Improvise, adapt, and overcome.". The Ukrainian National Slogan.

  49. if history is any guide, and I think it is , we can expect putin to mobilize millions of russians and for well over one million to die. I mean if history is any guide. Leo Tolstoy wrote about the miserable track record of the russia military and we have no reason to expect this war to be any different. No matter what putin does, Europe and NATO can do 10x over. There is no path to victory for putin. It does not exist on planet earth. I cannot imagine what putin was thinking when he invaded. I cannot begin to imagine it.
    1
  50. Eventually a lot of things people thought were not possible will happen. NATO will avoid getting involved in Ukraine as longs possible. But on thing its certain. Today putin is as far west has he will ever be. Putin will never be further west than he is today. And putin war for no reason is certifiably insane. Reports say putin and his junta skimmed , stole $2.5 trillion from the people of russia - and they spent most of it is Europe - were they now - can;t go.
