A nice lession for russia. If you plan to lauch a war against a neighbour, make sure you have effective defence for your strategic assets and your adversary is not smarter than you. Slava Ukraini!
Let them never learn from their mistakes in war and finally start learning from their mistakes of trading their freedom for feeling of imperial grandeur and being self-proclaimed owners of Eurasia.
This war would not have ever happened without the USA. you can see how little regard the West have for the Ukrainians' lives lost in a war against the Christian brothers.
That’s easy, both so-called russia and the West continue believing so-called russian empire fairy tales which deprive Ukraine and Ukrainian people of agency. That’s why you all continue to underestimate Ukrainians. The truth is Ukrainehood have been long before what’s now called russia, and will persist its existence long after.
I love how the Russian mayor said "all drones were shot down" and "air defense did its work" while he was staring into the ground. The two other dudes around him said nothing. Just blind stare. The blast made 2.8 on the Richter scale and could be seen from space for God sake. And you could hear the explosions in the back while he was rambling. These Russian dudes takes comedy to another level
@@zulubeatz1They have done this all the time. Bluffing and trying to scare people. The whole idea of having nukes is a deterrent, for all countries who have them. Deterrent seems to not compute with most people. You will not start a nuke war that nobody wins! It will never happen. Putin is a good poker player it seems.
I sure hope you've donated or made some other contribution... Because luck blessings and peace comments AIN'T GOING TO GET IT DONE!! Pass on the hippy greetings. Pathetic.
@@peterbruno657 thanks for the reminder. The Beirut explosion was about a third of the size of the Halifax explosion and just a little bit smaller than the recent one in Russia.
The Russian air defences worked perfectly - Russian missiles destroyed every single Ukrainian drone used in the attack! They achieved this impressive 100% destruction rate via a new strategy of leaving the missiles on the ground at the target location and letting the drones come to them instead of using outdated strategies like actually launching the missiles to try to destroy the drones in the air...
The west needs to re-consider the significant cost in lives and causality rates of civilians. Too many seniors, women & children are being killed or injured as Russia has no concern for terrorism. Release all restrictions! Allow Ukraine to defend themselves.
AMEN!! I’ve contacted my rep, both senators and the DoD and State dept contact addresses. I suggest everyone who supports Ukraine contact all of their relevant govt offices, and express their support for continued and further funding.
What if it’s not incompetence? What if the rank and file are tired of this war and placed the weapons so they could easily be attacked? No weapons, they get to go home…

@@isaiahlarsenne8728 I guess things are going as planned? With the Special Military Operation in the Kurst region I'd say they couldn't have gone any worse for your genius military planner
Russia is an embarrassment, we were told it was a superpower; it should have been able to overwhelm Ukraine in a matter of days, using heavy bombers, fighters taking out strategic positions along mass tank and artillery attacks. It`s airforce has been next to useless, its tanks and millitary vehicles old and out of date, its navy running away and hiding; even the army is mostly conscripts, boys, old men and mercernaries. To think, for decades, were were terrified of this clown show rolling across Europe and overpowering us.
@timthetiny7538 European countries have low inventories. That's true. But combined, they have more then ruZZia. Also, more modern and better equipment. Then there's the U.S.. Much more of everything then ruZZia and far superior equipment and well trained military.
So Russia has this huge advantage in that they can update or produce new equipment as required? So why are they going cap-in-hand to China, North Korea and Iran? This 'expert' needs to get back behind his desk in the Ministry and leave the Ukrainians to use the weapons supplied, as they see fit. Then he will see the Russians in their true light.
the russians have only their old soviet and post-soviet machines, which are falling apart in their hands, and they are not able to produce new ones in the quantities they need (I am leaving aside the issue of sanctions and the fact that they do not have the raw materials, equipment, tools, technology and appropriate specialists). Apparently, they have enough money and equipment for a maximum of one more year of war. Russia's economy has just started to collapse.
@@TCK-9 - this guest gives us a great insight into the russian mindset, unintentionally! This is why russians love the upper class twits, er, Brits so much, they are so very alike: bland, arrogant, superior, overly educated and careless of all the “little people” below them. Very illuminating Kate, as always, great show ❤🇺🇦🇺🇸😱😎
The Kremlin also claims Russian troop losses are nowhere close to Western estimates. If that was the case, why the almost constant Russian mobilisations and call-ups? Surely there would be little need for this if they were only losing a fraction of what Western intelligence claims?
Looking at what they have done to the Russian Black Sea fleet, you will see that they have established their ingenuity and daring long ago to incredible results.
1994, but no matter. You are right. This war would not have happened. The US operated under the mistaken idea that Russia was no longer communist, and therefore would no longer be imperialist. Turns out communism was only one phase of Russian imperialism -- which is the trajectory of Rsusian history since the 17th Century.
I don't think Ukraine had the ability to operate or maintain such things, which were doubtless in a poor state of repair as it was. For a long time, even maintaining a competent armored or infantry force was beyond them. Also, Ukraine itself had a say in the matter: they were not "made" to do anything. Indeed, I suspect this whole nuke thing is basically half myth and half distraction, and is mainly just a way to bash America in the eyes of the gullible and misinformed.
When the USSR collapsed into Russia who now owned & controllers them, (" nothing could have been done "), more importantly the Ukrainians went to Nuclear Non-proliferation now independent, Russia took Responsibility for its Protection, (" the fox puting ITSELF in charge of the henhouse ").
If Russia prefers refurbishing now, it means that it's easier than building new. So, once Soviet stockpiles run out, output will slow down. Good for Ukraine.
The united states' of America must lift all of the restrictions on long range weapons for our Ukrainian friends and it's obviously clear that Ukraine can and will be able to respond to the Russian threat's and save our Ukrainian friends and their citizens !!! If we truly want Ukraine to win this war than restrictions have to be lifted immediately, for God's sake !!!
The losses of equipment are compiled by Andrew Perpetua and ATP Geopolitics talks about it during their high quality videos. Artillery systems, for example, have been heavily targeted. 💙💛
Does Russia have the ability to produce more heavy equipment? They have a worker shortage. They are semi-blocked from obtaining critical components needed to manufacture a modern system. If Russia was able of making, for example, more state of the art tanks then why haven't they been doing it already? The old Soviet rust buckets they are pulling out of storage yards are designed to withstand modern weapons.
Now he's.talking about increasing the number of people in the Russian army,, So , are these people going to line up in there thousands, or they going to be railroaded¿? Lots of luck with that pootin 😂😂
Well Russia depends on deliveries from China, North Korea, Iran and it seems that artillery ammunition once sold to India made the way back to Russia. Not to mention that Russia uses the Sovietunion scrabble yards to send old stuff to the front. So no Russia uses up much more then it can ever produce.
To the Russian post previous to this one, please let anyone you have communication with within the Russian federation, please tell them that they would be better off leaving just as you have should the government not retreat. Population shall plummet and Putin will be preventing people from leaving and maybe regressing to the old ways with communism and all. If this happens the federation will be in dire straights as far as access to western goods not only because of sanctions but the value of the Ruble. The government is having a hard time accessing material to keep the machines coming off the lines. They are resorting to refurbishing old equipment and further putting the Russian soldiers at risk with old equipment.
@@DissectGibberish And here I thought I was talking to people who could understand a comparison 😂 Russia has literally tens of thousands of kilometers of borders. This is probably news to you, but Russia is huge, no country in Europe has the same excuse.
@@Kodakcompactdisc No defense is impenetrable. Israel learned this the hard way a year ago, despite its close ties with the US intelligence services and military. Israel doesn't have as many kilometers to monitor or the same surface area to defend as Russia. You should be worried about Ukraine, because even with weapons and money from the West, it seems to be having trouble defending its borders and property.
These commentators make me sick, they never give Ukraine the credit they deserve. Ukraine has just blown up the biggest and most modern Russian ammo dump it has been completely destroyed,. this is a massive achievement considering the Western Allies especially the US are doing everything to stop them and absolutely nothing to help carry out strikes like these. Also they have singlehandedly all but destroyed Russian refined oil production. Not a word about this, unbelievable !
Agree Ukraine deserves massive credit, however the dump has NOT been destroyed. Most of the bunkers are still intact, most of the damage was to munitions stored in the open or in unsuitable warehouses, because ru are lazy and did not store stuff correctly. There is the possibility that some of the bunkers have Nuclear weapons in them, still.
idea: write a message in Cyrillic over the area held by Ukraine that is visible from orbit, so russian space fans can see it and start a talk, depending on the huge message
Russia is such a massive place I would surgest that is impossible to defend every square meter with air defence and I think they did not expect that there long range drones could go that far
Most of Russia doesn't need defending, because it's just wide open space with nothing there, apart from the odd village which still lives in the 19th century.
I have to tell you that when looking backwards, your experts have been more wrong than couple good home tubers. And honestly i got feeling that maybe it's not that important to you anyway.
99% of experts are clueless they forget that you can literally watch combat footage of exactly whats happening then these experts come on and try tell you what the deal is
Putin is an extreme narcissist/psychopath and will sacrifice anything and everything (i.e. Russia and the Russians) to achieve his goals and will always do everything to look like a good tsar and leader. He will blame others for all his failures - his subordinates (he sends them to harsh labor camps/prisons) and, of course, he accuses other countries of everything bad. He will never admit his mistake and guilt. Psychopathic dictators are unable to admit their mistakes and withdraw from the war. It would be a terrible slander for Putin - he would rather commit suicide than admit that this war was a mistake. He will sacrifice everything and everyone for as long as he can and as long as he has someone with what to continue this war. Only his entourage and the oligarchs can get rid of him - probably by killing him. Russians as a society will not do anything because they believe in their tsar. A society that does not know what democracy is will do nothing - they will probably only replace Putin with another dictator. This is how Russia has functioned for centuries and this is how it has always been there. I recommend reading the book "Letters from Russia. Russia in 1839.” Author: Astolphe de Custine wrote, for example: 'This society of automats/robots is like half a game of chess, because one man moves all the pieces, and the invisible opponent is humanity. Everyone here moves and breathes only with the emperor's permission or at his command, so everyone is gloomy and restrained: silence presides over life and paralyzes it." Almost 200 years have passed, and Russia and Russians are still the same. Nothing has changed.
His ego won't allow him to do that. The sheer humiliation would be too much for him to cope with. It's the ingrained Stalinist mentality, never to show weakness or admit failure.....
Direct NATO involvement would be an act of war. Given that Russia does have nuclear tipped missiles, that's not a door we want to open. It's the problem with using advanced missiles for strikes inside Russia. Those weapons depend on Western systems and satellites and Western/NATO personnel to guide them to their target.
@@Sikyu-ye4ns How many red lines has Putin declared, Ukraine and the West crossed, and Putin did nothing? Putin has no credibility. He's simply a liar.
What wasn't discussed was Russia is straining its air defense missile systems, so that Putin can defend his palace, against Ukrainian drones. Russia moved much needed air defenses to Valdai Palace, the residence of Putin's rumored girlfriend, former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, and their 2 sons.
Three years into this war and Ukraine has never been able to do a "wild weasel" operation wherein they suppress enemy air defenses. Now that they have some F-16s perhaps they would put more emphasis on air defense suppression. This could pave the way for more use of air power.
The reason why Russia is continuing to advanced isn't because Kursk was effective enough. It's because Ukraine fighters have been given orders to preserve their LIVES first and give ground instead of holding it to the last man. It's a change in strategy. We can wee this is true because recruiting has gone WAY up (in just volunteering) for Ukraine and they are extending the training period to give these recruits more skill in shooting and first aid. The fact that they think they have that time MEANS this is a strategic effect. The territory that Russia is gaining is useless.. The strikes again the oil industry by Ukraine drones is doing REAL damage to their economy.
❤❤❤So if Ukraine Is already striking beyond the missile limitations, what is ithe logic of. Forbidding 😢the uses of Western missiles, but saying your drones are ok to hit the same targets😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@Edo9River Good question! This dilly dallying shows not only Putler, but all other despots with nuclear weapons that the west can be bluffed. That’s not how nuclear deterrent supposed to work.

Most of the bunkers are still intact, most of the damage was to munitions stored in the open or in unsuitable warehouses, because ru are lazy and did not store stuff correctly. There is the possibility that some of the bunkers have Nuclear weapons in them, still.
They didn't stop the Missile coss all the air defence is at Putin,s house's 😂😂😂❤ UKRAINE
Tune in afterwards. 👊👍
NAFO 69th Brigade new convoy.

Kate Gerbeau knows her stuff! Excellent interview
idea: write a message in Cyrillic over the area held by Ukraine that is visible from orbit, so russian space fans can see it and start a talk, depending on the huge message
This women is my favorite journalist of the times
lol. UK channels have been telling us Russia is out of X since Oct 2022....and yet they aren't.
Why can't Kate be doing all the Times Radio interviews?
💪💪🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇫🇮🇫🇮👍👍
There is no point in pointing out Ruzzia's mistakes, unless you wish for them to improve.
I stand with Ukraine.
Great interview
Russia is such a massive place I would surgest that is impossible to defend every square meter with air defence and I think they did not expect that there long range drones could go that far
If one can't defend the ammo depots then one is impotent and no more then a medium regional power with a lot of weaknesses.
Most of Russia doesn't need defending, because it's just wide open space with nothing there, apart from the odd village which still lives in the 19th century.
Good on you
🇺🇲✊🇺🇦🇮🇱
Kate is the best❤
No doubt Putin took his share of the budget. Also Shoigu et al.
Superb
I have to tell you that when looking backwards, your experts have been more wrong than couple good home tubers. And honestly i got feeling that maybe it's not that important to you anyway.
99% of experts are clueless
they forget that you can literally watch combat footage of exactly whats happening
then these experts come on and try tell you what the deal is
Been waiting for this since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Putin’s is out of his league & he needs to step down & make peace with Ukraine’s Leaders 🇺🇦
He's not getting out of this war alive 🇺🇦
Putin is an extreme narcissist/psychopath and will sacrifice anything and everything (i.e. Russia and the Russians) to achieve his goals and will always do everything to look like a good tsar and leader. He will blame others for all his failures - his subordinates (he sends them to harsh labor camps/prisons) and, of course, he accuses other countries of everything bad. He will never admit his mistake and guilt. Psychopathic dictators are unable to admit their mistakes and withdraw from the war. It would be a terrible slander for Putin - he would rather commit suicide than admit that this war was a mistake. He will sacrifice everything and everyone for as long as he can and as long as he has someone with what to continue this war.
Only his entourage and the oligarchs can get rid of him - probably by killing him.
Russians as a society will not do anything because they believe in their tsar. A society that does not know what democracy is will do nothing - they will probably only replace Putin with another dictator. This is how Russia has functioned for centuries and this is how it has always been there.
I recommend reading the book "Letters from Russia. Russia in 1839.” Author: Astolphe de Custine wrote, for example: 'This society of automats/robots is like half a game of chess, because one man moves all the pieces, and the invisible opponent is humanity. Everyone here moves and breathes only with the emperor's permission or at his command, so everyone is gloomy and restrained: silence presides over life and paralyzes it." Almost 200 years have passed, and Russia and Russians are still the same. Nothing has changed.
His ego won't allow him to do that. The sheer humiliation would be too much for him to cope with. It's the ingrained Stalinist mentality, never to show weakness or admit failure.....
Why putin reject peace?
He wants peace. But at his terms
Russian incompetence, stored ammo outside concrete bunkers,-> drone strike->mushroom cloud
what would happen if NATO use long range missiles? he will boycott twinkies? ahahah
Direct NATO involvement would be an act of war. Given that Russia does have nuclear tipped missiles, that's not a door we want to open.
It's the problem with using advanced missiles for strikes inside Russia. Those weapons depend on Western systems and satellites and Western/NATO personnel to guide them to their target.
@@bobwallace9753 nato is already at war, many tech can be used only by nato persons and putin himself say so long ago
@@Sikyu-ye4ns
Putin said it was so? Well, that convinces me.
Of nothing....
@@bobwallace9753 means that he did nothing all this time, not a good trusted record to feel his last intimidation
@@Sikyu-ye4ns
How many red lines has Putin declared, Ukraine and the West crossed, and Putin did nothing? Putin has no credibility. He's simply a liar.
By now its not incompetence
Its a lack of systems
All are in use, just not enough and Ukraine is finding all the weak spots.
Nah…it is incompetence
We need to send in the USA's Environmental Protection Agency, EPA.
That will stop everything.
😂😂😂
Nonsense!
Send Haitians from Springfield.
@@Piden-l4b Yeah sure comrade ruZZian troll/tRumpist troll 😂😂😂
This man is too good and knowledgeable
dragon eye the British laser weapon
Sharks with laser beams
That's a lot of hard currency to go up in a mushroom cloud. Oligarch's don't like that.
What wasn't discussed was Russia is straining its air defense missile systems, so that Putin can defend his palace, against Ukrainian drones.
Russia moved much needed air defenses to Valdai Palace, the residence of Putin's rumored girlfriend, former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, and their 2 sons.
Never speak in public about the failures of the enemy, …. Don’t make the Rus wiser.
Why no mention of the massive US stockpiles of JASSM?
Probably because like myself, no one knows what they are. I just had to google it.
The UN should tell Mr Putin to stop playing with fire works as itsadding to global warming .
Three years into this war and Ukraine has never been able to do a "wild weasel" operation wherein they suppress enemy air defenses. Now that they have some F-16s perhaps they would put more emphasis on air defense suppression. This could pave the way for more use of air power.
The reason why Russia is continuing to advanced isn't because Kursk was effective enough. It's because Ukraine fighters have been given orders to preserve their LIVES first and give ground instead of holding it to the last man. It's a change in strategy. We can wee this is true because recruiting has gone WAY up (in just volunteering) for Ukraine and they are extending the training period to give these recruits more skill in shooting and first aid. The fact that they think they have that time MEANS this is a strategic effect. The territory that Russia is gaining is useless.. The strikes again the oil industry by Ukraine drones is doing REAL damage to their economy.
Stay safe @dpelpal !
Hello Marc!
Slava Ukraini! Heroiam Slava! 🗺❤🇺🇦 💪
Russia production capacity has been severely compromised because of economic and manpower reasons. That's not being analyzed here
America has a strong fist and will continue to support the people of Ukraine_Putins way is wrong for humanity abroad
❤❤❤So if Ukraine Is already striking beyond the missile limitations, what is ithe logic of. Forbidding 😢the uses of Western missiles, but saying your drones are ok to hit the same targets😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
If Ukraine uses western missiles it will officially involve the west into the war, it's what Putin says. The drones are Ukraine made
@@Edo9River Good question! This dilly dallying shows not only Putler, but all other despots with nuclear weapons that the west can be bluffed. That’s not how nuclear deterrent supposed to work. The right answer to Putler is “ fine,if you want Moscow melted along with the rest of your country, go ahead! You have to stand up to bullies right away or it will get worse later. Same as Blackmailers, they always want more.
The comments here are so well-informed.
The good news just keeps coming every day
