  1. Like I said before: no coping We are just here to observe. Let both sides act, and watch.

  2. Thanks for the dispassionate analysis of the ground fighting. Too often it is emotional from one side of the conflict or another

  3. Just curious, does anyone know why Weeb has sounded much quieter/calmer over the last few videos? Like he's recording at 3am with a roommate)

  4. ​ @t.n.h.ptheneohumanpatterna8334  Documents leaked from the USSR after the collapse show pretty definitively that it wasn't intentional nor targeted at Ukrainians specifically. It was just terrible Soviet policy combined with a famine that affected Kazakhstan and Russia too.

  5. Fantastic dedication to getting the info out in a nonbiased way, faster than anyone (besides maybe DPA). My one gripe is with the clickbaity titles sometimes, but otherwise you've got a regular viewer!

  6. But what if Austria Hungary was made of chocolate?

  7. Many are elderly and don't want to leave their homes. Some are stubborn nationalists, and a few (those who have not already emigrated) are pro-Russian. But I suspect many are just exhausted by the conflict and don't have the will to keep running. Accepting their fate

  8. Look back at his videos about the Ukrainian offensive in 2022 (retaking northeast), he reported on that honestly too.

  10. I think they're very competent, if allowed to use their weapons and doctrine. American strategy relies heavily on an abundance of resources and a lack of resources by the other side (Afghanistan, Iraq etc). Their doctrine hasn't been tested in a WWI style war.

  11.  @31mAyMgaYanga  But it is. Drones have forced a regression back to trench warfare. Ukraine will in all likelihood, eventually lose. Russia is willing to pay any price for its security. They have 4x as many men. Even with this recent success, Russia will keep grinding them down. Little by little, until there is nothing left.

  12. We need more than one source to confirm this.

  13. Extreme secrecy. Not even higher-up commanders knew about it. And they moved at night, and through forests, to avoid detection. Really a brilliant approach, much can be learned from it

  14. In Russian, but English has different phonotactic rules. As long as he's understandable, any pronunciation is fine

  16. ​ @benlittle8922  For religious reasons, not national. He's a good Muslim, but a terrible Syrian. You really think he'll be kind to non-Sunni Muslims, or to non-Arabs? The Alowites, Christians and Druze? Syria by its nature is a multi-religious, multi-ethnic society. Though perhaps not for much longer.

  20. Thank you. While I do think NATO should have been stopped and dissolved in 1991 (USSR no longer existed and Russia was weak)— I cannot ignore the deaths of Ukrainians. They may not think of us like this now, but I truly believe that we are brotherly nations. Millions of people have family on both sides of the border. It breaks my heart.

  23. While it's undeniable that many millions of Ukrainians have left, I don't think what you're seeing is a result of that. Ukrainians have had a presence in Canada since the start of the USSR. Even before that too. Most Ukrainians have fled to Western Europe and (ironically) Russia.

  24. Since Ukraine is aggressively flat, probably around major cities and wherever there is some minor elevation. Probably lots of defenses around rivers too, since those are more defensible when it's warm. I would imagine they have some defenses in the Carpathian mountains. Besides this not much else to leverage for defense. How does one defend a plain?

  25. Depends on where. In the south? Already there. In the north? Several hundred kilometres.

  26. ​ @oldguy217  I like to think that (despite him saying he is pro-Russian) Scott from Kalibrated takes a very dry and critical approach to both sides.

  27. ​ @Snek-zz9sj  Just nationalism not ethnonationalism. There is no messaging around being a "pure Russian" from the Russian side. All things considered Russia is tolerant of its minority groups. Tatars have lived alongside Muscovites for 400+ years, and Caucasians have found peace with Krasnodarians since the 2000s.

  31. DPA's a great analyst, but apparently not a food predictor. Those numbers are insane, definitely not true.

  32.  @benlittle8922  Great! Except you just said he excluded a prominent political group from Syrian politics. You also said 'rebel factions' which doesn't include the Lebanese, Druze, Christians, Alowites or any Shia groups. They're also jihadists— and HTS has explicitly denied qatariyya, or regionalism. They want to expand. Let's not even talk about Greater Israel, Kurdistan, or Turkey— HTS will need to win control of all of Syria, or lose legitimacy and be overthrown.

  34.  @MantisTobaggon69  2 days of advances in the middle of a manpower and weapons shortage, and you think Ukraine has "all the momentum". What did you say again about overestimating? :)

  35.  @andreasschmidt2739  Winning =/= won. Can't believe I need to explain that to you. Does that mean that Ukraine isn't winning either, since Russia is still figuring after 2 years?

  36. ​ @MNM-lq9te  Covert action using Ukraine as a training ground. It's how Iran was overthrown in the 1950s.

  37. ​ @kommandokodiak6025  Rehi had a mental break? That's crazy, he's not even a combatant, or Ukrainian. He must really have been devoted to the US' political goals.

  40. ​ @konfunable  He's not kidding. He embellished the situation of course, but the Russian economy is in fact growing. And not all of it is due to wartime expenses, domestic production has ramped up out of necessity (not as easy to get EU goods into the country). Meanwhile Ukraine's social safety net is being propped up by largely the US. It's a horrible situation and I hope the war comes to an end as soon as possible. But what he said is true.

  41.  @mooksdfe  In English the rules for stress are flexible, too. See CorAL or CORal. I don't see an issue with it as long as he's consistent with whichever way he chooses to pronounce.

  42. I don't know about that last statement... they will certainly learn from others' mistakes, as generals are now held to the fire if they mess up (unlike before where corruption are away at the military's abilities). I will never say that they will create the most effective fighting force. That is a subjective measure, and even by objective measures it will not be true unless Russia has a proper naval force and real-world training, which it does not.

  44. ​ andrewwright7402  Inconsistent storylines here. Giles seems to imply that Russia was somehow involved in the attack, yet the US, a source that has no reason to confirm Russia's claims, attributed the attack to ISIS. Unless Giles is saying that Russia allowed this to happen so that it could (incredulously) claim that Ukraine did it, he's directly contradicting US intelligence. I think that IS did it, internal security was focused on Ukrainian would-be attackers and a few Islamists slipped through the cracks. Putin for whatever reason is diverting attention perhaps to avoid the perception that Russia is being attacked on multiple fronts.

  45. It was good as an insight into Putin's worldview. But I wish Tucker had asked for more concrete answers near the end. Putin did not make the appropriate connection between Ukraine's national history and Russia's legal right to defend Russian-soeakers in Ukraine. By that logic Turkey could invade to protect Tatars.

  46. The only real damage would probably be refusing to sell the neon that AMSL uses to manufacture chips. Russia controls a crucial part of that supply chain. Besides that, Rosatom is ahead of even China in nuclear research, and preventing them from sharing R&D could halt the world's nuclear programs for ~2 years. Outside of that Russia's involvement in the economy isn't diverse enough yet to have an impact. China, on the other hand...

  47. Not from Western point of view— they would say that he invaded Ukraine first, and so the entire situation of NATO fighting Russia could be avoided if he didn't invade.
