It's not that the West CAN'T build up on the military industrial front quickly - it's just that we've CHOSEN NOT TO.

Uhhh, no. lol. I can literally cite production numbers, and production goals over the next several years (which so far have all failed). All of NATO, if everything in their imagination went perfectly, would take 10 years to match Russias industrial output capacity. Seriously, you can look all of this up.
@@godfreydebouillon8807 Production numbers have political will baked into them from the jump. Look at what the United States did in World War 2. There is no reason that Europe couldn't do the same IF THEY DECIDED THEY NEEDED TO. I don't mean by that they could match a similarly motivated United States, but they certainly could outpace Russia.
@KipIngram No, that's not how it works. During WW2, the US was filled with factories that were altered to produce weapons and military equipment. That's why from the time we were bombed (1941) to the time we could invade Europe was 3 1/3 years, because something like that can't happen quickly. Those factories no longer exist. If creating investment packages or bank notes could win a war, then we'd win. Russia keeps all of these factories in place, even builds new ones, to sit there and do nothing, all for the purpose of being able to massively increase military production at a moments notice, which is why all the silly predictions that they'd run out of all this was just absurd. All military production capacity is apart of the state, and is considered apart of the military itself. What they're capable of doing now is VASTLY more than their capabilities last year, which will be vastly more a year from now. You don't have to believe me, but it will be so obvious by then, denying it won't be an option. The "Green Economy" simply isn't setup for this and will not be able to compete. I'm not simply guessing about this. These numbers are available. The numbers of artillery, missiles, AA missiles etc. The numbers that NATO are producing is comparatively tiny. Their projected output (their goals) over the years to come do not match Russias, let alone throwing China and others into the mix. I'm sorry, but these propaganda outlets just aren't being honest
So you're safe over there but you call for Eurasia to tear itself apart? so ...what? you can repeat your one trick pony miracle years of ww2? In ww2 US was suffering the depression, it would have stagnated as a backwater for decades had it not been for the war. Specifically the way they played it. You see there is nothing financially special about wars, they are costly. The US stayed out of ww2 until every actor was spent and weakened from fighting while the US was fresh and they managed to go through the pockets of the deceased so to speak, THEY WOULD LIKE A REPEAT OF WW2 specifically for it to kick off in europe and for them to sit it out making side bets and loans.
Maxim Tucker has his facts wrong. I have literally just come back from Kharkiv and Kyiv. Russia has made advances of 20,000km but the front line in Ukraine is 1000km so that is an average of an amount of the size of a person. In Ukraine people just ignore the air raids and get on with their daily tasks. The know Russia can't defeat them and all they can do is grind things out minimally but with a country as huge as theirs it would take 50 years to get anywhere and by then Putin will be long gone.
If the russians can maintain the speedwith which they've managed to capture territory over this last year (0.1% = 1/ 1,000th of the country), which was much more than the previous year, then they'll need at least 820 years to complete their objectives. By then no-one will even remember the name putin. I'm astonished by their incompetence.
That is only assuming the USA keeps bankrolling this pointless war, which we certainly will not. Voters here mostly don’t care if Putin wins or not. We just want the taxpayer waste to stop.
Russia has not only made significant territorial gains but has also captured Ukrainian soldiers, who have provided revealing insights into the methods used by Ukraine’s leadership. During their interrogation, one of the captured soldiers disclosed that he was coerced into fighting against Russia. According to the soldier, Volodymyr Zelensky's military leadership had threatened to send his son to the frontline, forcing him to join the fight.
Sorry, but here Maxim Tucker is talking nonsense this time. If the political will is there, then what is left of Ukraine could easily join NATO. His second point what if Russia brakes the peace deal NATO would be at war with Russia! So he is saying that he is expecting Russia to brake the deal, if not what is wrong with giving Ukraine NATO membership. West Germany was a part of NATO under very similar circumstances. The third point, he expects NATO to guaranty air superiority (no fly zone) without Ukraine being a part of NATO. Will NATO planes be shooting down Russian planes, that are dropping bombs on Ukrainian cities? Maxim Tucker is a good journalist, but he please tell me, he was not expecting this question and has not thought this through.

No negotiations. Russia goes bust, Russian troops return home, seized assets are given as a downpayment to Ukraine for reparations, sanctions remain in place until Russia has compensated Ukraine in full. Slava Ukraine!
One thought: When russia collapses, what if many regions the Muscovians have conquered and occupied, some for centuries, break loose and become independent like after the fall of the USSR? Will the full bill then be on Muscovy? The decisions all came from Moscow after all. So will they have to pay it all? I'm glad I'm not russian from Moscow. Ouch!
Implications of recent Ukrainian strikes with ATACMS a Storm Shadow: 1. Military: These strikes disrupt Russian logistics, command structures, and air defense systems, hindering their operational capacity. 2. Psychological: The ability to strike within Russian borders challenges the Kremlin's narrative of invulnerability and may erode morale among troops and the public. 3. Strategic: Ukraine's use of precision weaponry demonstrates its evolving capabilities, forcing Russia to divert resources to bolster internal defenses.

i dont care what happens with Russia, as long they give back ALL territory to Ukraine. As soon Russia leaving Ukraine i dont give a flying F what Russia is doing inside their own boarders and dont harm anyone outside their boarders.
Zelenskyy admitted that Ukraine is unable to capture liberated territories by military force. "Our army lacks the strength for this. It's true," he said. "We must find diplomatic solutions." Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba - “Do we today have the means and tools to turn the tables and change the trajectory of how things are happening? No, we don’t,” Kuleba told the British newspaper in an interview published on Friday, adding: “And if it continues like this, we will lose the war.” The news from the Ukrainian front line is grim. Ukrainian forces are heavily outnumbered and outmatched in artillery and ammunition. There are growing signs of exhaustion, demoralization, desertion, and evasion of service by both the elites and ordinary people. Russian success is grounded in the fact that Russia simply has far greater resources than Ukraine in terms of both industry and manpower. It has been able to recruit hundreds of thousands of new troops by paying them very high wages, up to six times the average salaries in the regions from which they are drawn. Western industry cannot produce anything like the number of artillery shells Ukraine needs. Ukraine: Compromise or collapse.
At this point in time Russia no longer effectively has 'greater resources' than Ukraine. Putin wouldn't be begging material and troops from North-Korea if he wasn't desperate.
we heard the Russia economy is crashed and down to the stream for the last two years but it's a contrary seen on the ground. So, is a wishful thinking or what?
If Ukraine doesn’t get ceasefire this year they are going to lose another two oblasts next year. This will end up in a messy frozen conflict. If Ukrainians have any independence left they should cut their losses now or lose more next year
I think you need to go back and listen to what Zelenski actually said in h8s interview and not what the interviewer thought he said because it's completely different to what your saying. Putin is on the brink of collapse . And for this reason you must continue to support for the Ukrainian forces.

Russia keeps all of these factories in place, even builds new ones, to sit there and do nothing, all for the purpose of being able to massively increase military production at a moments notice, which is why all the silly predictions that they'd run out of all this was just absurd. All military production capacity is apart of the state, and is considered apart of the military itself. What they're capable of doing now is VASTLY more than their capabilities last year, which will be vastly more a year from now. You don't have to believe me, but it will be so obvious by then, denying it won't be an option.
The "Green Economy" simply isn't setup for this and will not be able to compete. I'm not simply guessing about this. These numbers are available. The numbers of artillery, missiles, AA missiles etc. The numbers that NATO are producing is comparatively tiny. Their projected output (their goals) over the years to come do not match Russias, let alone throwing China and others into the mix.
I'm sorry, but these propaganda outlets just aren't being honest
So you're safe over there but you call for Eurasia to tear itself apart? so ...what? you can repeat your one trick pony miracle years of ww2?
In ww2 US was suffering the depression, it would have stagnated as a backwater for decades had it not been for the war. Specifically the way they played it. You see there is nothing financially special about wars, they are costly. The US stayed out of ww2 until every actor was spent and weakened from fighting while the US was fresh and they managed to go through the pockets of the deceased so to speak, THEY WOULD LIKE A REPEAT OF WW2 specifically for it to kick off in europe and for them to sit it out making side bets and loans.
Maxim Tucker has his facts wrong. I have literally just come back from Kharkiv and Kyiv. Russia has made advances of 20,000km but the front line in Ukraine is 1000km so that is an average of an amount of the size of a person. In Ukraine people just ignore the air raids and get on with their daily tasks. The know Russia can't defeat them and all they can do is grind things out minimally but with a country as huge as theirs it would take 50 years to get anywhere and by then Putin will be long gone.
There could be someone else perhaps even more "nice".
@dmitryivanoff2799 that's why the Ukrainians haven't assassinated him.
If the russians can maintain the speedwith which they've managed to capture territory over this last year (0.1% = 1/ 1,000th of the country), which was much more than the previous year, then they'll need at least 820 years to complete their objectives. By then no-one will even remember the name putin. I'm astonished by their incompetence.
That is only assuming the USA keeps bankrolling this pointless war, which we certainly will not. Voters here mostly don’t care if Putin wins or not. We just want the taxpayer waste to stop.
The E .U has failed Ukraine,allowing Ukraine to fight with one hand😢😢😢
Slava Ukraini ❣️ ❣️ ❣️ ❣️ 🇬🇧
Slava i pocivaj u paklu.
Russia has not only made significant territorial gains but has also captured Ukrainian soldiers, who have provided revealing insights into the methods used by Ukraine’s leadership. During their interrogation, one of the captured soldiers disclosed that he was coerced into fighting against Russia. According to the soldier, Volodymyr Zelensky's military leadership had threatened to send his son to the frontline, forcing him to join the fight.
Slavs Russia 🇷🇺
The Union Jack has no place in a foreign domestic situation nothing do with us !!!!
@@philipellis4530 ICC has discovered that 90% of captured Ukrainians were tortured, many using electricity. Why is Russia so predictable.
Russia has said there will be no ceasefire until its goals are realized, so all this talk is pointless.
It's never going to realize all its goals, so the war is pointless.
Maybe, just maybe Russia 🇷🇺 has some say in this
@miladinperic837 far too much in most people's opinion. Did the Nazis or Japanese Emperor have any say in their surrender terms
Sorry, but here Maxim Tucker is talking nonsense this time. If the political will is there, then what is left of Ukraine could easily join NATO.
His second point what if Russia brakes the peace deal NATO would be at war with Russia!
So he is saying that he is expecting Russia to brake the deal, if not what is wrong with giving Ukraine NATO membership. West Germany was a part of NATO under very similar circumstances.
The third point, he expects NATO to guaranty air superiority (no fly zone) without Ukraine being a part of NATO. Will NATO planes be shooting down Russian planes, that are dropping bombs on Ukrainian cities?
Maxim Tucker is a good journalist, but he please tell me, he was not expecting this question and has not thought this through.
NATO providing air support to protect citizens isn't that strange of a idea.
It is. Because Ukraine wants a world war at this point. And what does ukraine have to do with nato exactly?

No negotiations. Russia goes bust, Russian troops return home, seized assets are given as a downpayment to Ukraine for reparations, sanctions remain in place until Russia has compensated Ukraine in full. Slava Ukraine!
Delusional lol
One thought: When russia collapses, what if many regions the Muscovians have conquered and occupied, some for centuries, break loose and become independent like after the fall of the USSR? Will the full bill then be on Muscovy? The decisions all came from Moscow after all. So will they have to pay it all? I'm glad I'm not russian from Moscow. Ouch!

This American Citizen does not want even one minute of a Trump presidency.
Congress needs to sign this law now. Before trump
It seems like the Baltic states, Poland, and Ukraine could form an alliance with a GDP to rival that of the Russian Federation.
Implications of recent Ukrainian strikes with ATACMS a Storm Shadow:
1. Military: These strikes disrupt Russian logistics, command structures, and air defense systems, hindering their operational capacity.
2. Psychological: The ability to strike within Russian borders challenges the Kremlin's narrative of invulnerability and may erode morale among troops and the public.
3. Strategic: Ukraine's use of precision weaponry demonstrates its evolving capabilities, forcing Russia to divert resources to bolster internal defenses.
Europe needs to step up in so many areas.

Ukraine cannot keep fighting. Sadly. Not enough arms, not enough soldiers, not enough western support or commitment. This is a war Ukraine cannot win for many reasons including lackluster support from western allies. Tragic for Ukraine. Brave people. Deserved full commitment.

Potatoes in Russia rose 66% from August to October...
Butter has doubled, that's 100% inflation.
And Russia has lied to IMF about its GDP for years now...only discovered since the invasion.

Zelenskyy admitted that Ukraine is unable to capture liberated territories by military force. "Our army lacks the strength for this. It's true," he said. "We must find diplomatic solutions." Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba - “Do we today have the means and tools to turn the tables and change the trajectory of how things are happening? No, we don’t,” Kuleba told the British newspaper in an interview published on Friday, adding: “And if it continues like this, we will lose the war.”
The news from the Ukrainian front line is grim. Ukrainian forces are heavily outnumbered and outmatched in artillery and ammunition. There are growing signs of exhaustion, demoralization, desertion, and evasion of service by both the elites and ordinary people. Russian success is grounded in the fact that Russia simply has far greater resources than Ukraine in terms of both industry and manpower. It has been able to recruit hundreds of thousands of new troops by paying them very high wages, up to six times the average salaries in the regions from which they are drawn.
Western industry cannot produce anything like the number of artillery shells Ukraine needs.
Ukraine: Compromise or collapse.
At this point in time Russia no longer effectively has 'greater resources' than Ukraine. Putin wouldn't be begging material and troops from North-Korea if he wasn't desperate.
