That was a very good video. He mentions the Minsk 1/2 agreements that most people have never heard about and how the west did not do their parts to honor these agreements. I have never thought of the idea that the Russian people want Pres. Putin to act more aggressively. Seems like a good idea as it would not allow the west to have more time to intervene.
Just some people I follow on social media. But I heard it more than once today. No actual proof of anything of course. It could just as easily be one person started a rumor in an echo chamber. But if true, we'll know very very soon.
Seems doubtful. Russia has either lost, or strategically abandoned nearly half the territory that initially took. Unless something changes, Ukraine seems to be happy to keep things chugging along and staying propped up with aid.
You think so? If Russia was on the run then why the sudden need for immediate military aid? The Fake News can't have it both ways. They can't say Russia is losing while at the same time saying Ukraine is in desperate need for aid. They need to pick a narrative.
Ukraine has a GDP that is 9 times smaller than Russia. They had less than 1/10th the military spending that Russia had in 2021. Russia has over 3 times the population as well.
By all accounts and estimations (including those in the west), Russia should have decisively won in the first few weeks. Russia is massively under performing. They haven't been able to even hold their initial gains they made early in the war. Still, Russia is a heavy hitter. If all aid was cutoff today, Ukraine could probably still hold out for months, maybe even years. Their victories and progress so far has solidified their resolve and there does not seem to be an danger of a political coup. They might be able to reach some kind of a stalemate and negotiate a ceasefire. But that isn't winning.
For Ukraine to realistically go on an offensive they would need heavy weapons and aid to keep their economy afloat.
Also, in the long term, even if Russia was able to overrun and occupy Ukraine, the war has been extremely costly for them. At best, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.
The US civil war was supposed to be over in one battle, when the Union army marched out to Manassas ( ha, I said “man asses”🤪) and trounce the Rebs. Folks showed up with picnic baskets to watch. Union army ran back to DC and it turned out to be a long protracted war. Morale of the story- Union still won (which is unfortunate in retrospect). It had money, numbers, industry, and transportation. Russia is the Union. Ukraine will fall
No other countries joined the Confederacy. The UK almost did, but they ended up sitting on the sidelines. The west is supplying Ukraine with a lot of equipment and weapons. On it's own, Ukraine could not hold out. But I think the West is happy to continue to bleed Russia out.
And the sanctions on Russia are crippling. I've seen people around here trying to down play it, but they're cutting off Russia from the global market. Long term, they might be able to be more self sufficient, but in the medium term, they're going to have major problems.
I dont believe Russia is under performing at all,.Putin called this a Special Operation,. to protect the people of the Donbass,.,and to Guarantee Russias Security,at this point and time Russia is said to be using only about 30% of their Millitary Force,
.As per Global Firepower, Russia has around 12,500 in tanks in 2022.
On top of this, the country has 30,000 other armoured vehicles, 6,500 self propelled artillery, 7,500 towed artillery and 3,300 rocket projectors.
This means that Russia’s land forces total at around 60,000 military vehicles.
The country also has just over 4,000 aircraft and 600 naval vessels.
Not to mention one of the most Powerful Nuclear Arsenals in the World,.
They still have a sizable Force in Syria,..
The reason Putin called this a Special Operation and not a "WAR " is because they are trying to accomplish it,without undue harm to the civillian population and try and avoid unecessary Infrastructure Damage
Putin knew that If Russia went in there like Shock and Awe and started Bombing Critical Infrastructure, homes and killing civilians in large numbers it would have turned the Civillian population against them,.as what happened in Iraq, The US belieeved that the Iraqis ,would welcome them with open arms in fact it was just the opposite,.,.Remember this is not Russias war as the Media keeps telling everyone who still listens to them, but it is an ongoing war since the US initated (sponsored ) Maidan Coup in 2014 against a Duly Elected President,." boy they like their Coups" ,,huh.
I just don't buy it. If Russia could win the war sooner, they would have already. If they could have taken Kiev in the early days of the war, they would have. That would have wrapped everything up in just a few weeks. I've seen some around here try to justify it by saying that never wanted to take Kiev, but accomplished some minor goal and then pulled out, but it seems like just an excuse.
Don't get me wrong, Russia is still a major powerhouse. They do have a lot of equipment and weapons, but much of it is from the Soviet era. Russia has some advanced weapons like the T-14 Armata Tank and SU-57 Fighter Jet, but we're not seeing them being used. Maybe they're waiting to pull them out, but the longer this fight goes on, the less it favors Russia.
I'm not dooming here, just trying to be a realist.
Re SROs: It appears that in the founding papers of the United Nations, Russia was granted the right to execute "Special Military Operations" for the purpose of expelling Nazism if it re-emerged in the former World War II combatant territories.
The Russians are sticklers for legal observance (when the law is on their side).
You gotta update your picture of this conflict. Go listen to some talks by Colonel Douglas MacGregor for some proper analysis. Plenty on YT that covers this topic in depth.
Losses are at least 8:1 in favor of RU, their initial goals were stated to limit as much damage as possible and try to force a relatively peaceful resolution. This obviously didn't pan out as they underestimated just how keen for open war the west was, so they fell back and initiated the grinder, almost now achieving their second goal of demilitarizing UA.
The media, and your own, conditions for 'winning' aren't lined up with what they're actually trying to do. At no point have they ever indicated they want to take and hold all of UA, and RussiaManBad has stated multiple times that he believes western UA would prefer to be under Polish rule anyway.
The Duran and The New Atlas also have great objective coverage on this topic.
So what are the estimated losses for Ukraine and Russia?
It's hard to say UA is demilitarized, when weapons are pouring in. I've read people saying that NATO is running out of weapons, but can you honestly say that the UA has less capabilities now than they did when the war started.
Yeah, this one is not very popular. Even listening to what Russia is saying, it seems there is a lot of infighting and blaming for Russia's current performance in the war.
If you don't read on the site Moon of Alabama you are missing out on a lot of good intel. There are some people there, many former military from US, Germany and other countries, that are up to date on conflicts around the world.
What is going on is in 2016 the neocons marched in lock step over to the "peaceful democratic party" and change their face to war monger. The result will be a loss of tremendous amounts of military equipment and our eventual surrender to China due to that loss of equipment ... because that is how the neocon globalist faction want it. Genocide and Transhumanism is on the menu friends; again, that is how they have gamed it out.
He's right. Those tanks aren't going to last more than a month each once they get there, and the inevitable videos of the tanks blowing up is going to be so embarrassing
Very good info video on the Russia-Ukraine conflict Anon!
Zo Russia shoult juz go and squeesh Zepimpsky like grape under boot no? Kek.

Have you visited the website he mentions?

Maybe. But keep in mind CRP is a confidence trickster.

Please explain to those of us who are retarded.
I've been aware of him for more than 6 years. He keeps reinventing himself because he keeps damaging his credibility.
Got it. Thanks!
I shouldn’t laugh but that was funny 😂
Rumor is Ukraine is about ready to fall at any hour now.
Where do you hear that rumor? I'd like to know more.
Just some people I follow on social media. But I heard it more than once today. No actual proof of anything of course. It could just as easily be one person started a rumor in an echo chamber. But if true, we'll know very very soon.

Either this is stinky bait, or someone is listening to Ukie propaganda.
Just let his number of downvotes be the judge.

Yes, the West is indeed cucked.

What kind of loser smokes in his video, tho, LOL
He's right. Those tanks aren't going to last more than a month each once they get there, and the inevitable videos of the tanks blowing up is going to be so embarrassing
Who gives a shit if he's smoking a cig? I don't smoke but it didn't cause me to lol or even give it a second thought.
I did. It's just a preference, but, for me, it's the same vibe as people that wear masks on their videos.
Not really a "hill to die on," tho.
People need to lighten up (or is that “light it up?!?). Kidding - I’ve never smoked in my life but not judging anyone
Coach Redpill sometimes even smokes two fags in a video. Suck it up.
I'd have to dryclean my shirt after watching that, lol
It's interesting how there is so much pressure by media and FDA to quit smoking but not quit chewing tabakki. Why is that?
I believe there are warning labels on chew, just like there are on cigs.
I mean there are no commercials to quit chewing like there are with cigs.
I wouldn't know. I don't watch TV.
My guess is the risk of second hand smoke. If you chew around your kids, it won't physically cause any second hand ingestion. But smoking will.
Won’t ruin your paint and wallpaper either
But the FDA and media do not care about us dying..
I think someone cares. Not everyone is evil.
Tank Graveyard ... Russian offensive-support pilots will be clambering over each other to become 'ze Plink Tsar'.
"Plink" - the sound of a bomb's or missiles's hardened-metal or shaped-charge nose tip meeting the highly-vulnerable top surface of a tank.
Milliseconds later, it doesn't end well for the hapless tank crew. Ghastly.
