Crossed Russia's red lines.

No nuclear response, Putin bluffed & Ukraine called it.
Everyone close to decision-making authority in any country knew it was bluster.
Russia's own nuclear doctrine prevents them from using nuclear weapons in such a scenario. In the event of a neighboring country invading disputed parts of Russia. It can only use nuclear weapons if the Russian's states integrity is threatened i.e. an invading army is encroaching on Moscow.
@@Mitjitsumy dude, kursk isn't disputed territory, it's intern recognized. It is another pinkish lines event 😂
You don't need Nukes to defeat Terrorism!
I would be concerned about Putin's demise, remember Churchill on the death of Lenin
Churchill wrote that the Russians’ “worst misfortune was his birth, their next worst - his death.” Lenin “alone could have led Russia into the enchanted quagmire; he alone could have found the way back to the causeway. He saw; he turned; he perished.”
Putin's replacement certainly might be worse. But, that person could put a stop to Putin's War. And that is certainly in Russia's interest. They are burning up their future n this war.
Showing how vunerable russia is such, that even if they win, america and china will not take them seriously again, This is not necessary a good thing. The balance of power works best when they are not sure how the third major force will react to the other two at war, Its also a disgrace that so much less is done and even said about the months of bombing of civilians in gaza, which is so much worse, At least ukraine is a huge country, within which to escape, gaza is little more than an open priso
Fun Fact about Ukraine & Russia: It was Russia who saved The Union during the American Civil War as they sent their Navy to San Francisco and New York when England and France were just about to enter the war on the side of the Confederates since London created the Confederates. France was already in Mexico making a spear head movement to resupply the Confederates and to open up a Pacific Theatre and to create a in California. England already amassed 11,000 troops and growing stationed at their Northern Confederacies border now called Canada ready to open a Northern Theatre to divert Union troops away from their Southern Confederacy then to attack The Unions naval blockade. The Union would have been completely destroyed and annexed by those two great powers leaving the Confederates to exist as either a puppet state of London or to be fully brought back into the fold of the British Empire.
London was already courting (threatening/bribing) other countries to get involved like Spain while Russia was in talks with Prussia to ally with incase London was to intervene.
Seeing all of this Tsar Alexander II wrote a letter to Queen Victoria saying “If you enter in this war it will be a casus belli for all out war with the Russian Empire”. The stage was set for the 1st World War and Russia stopped it.
There is also a memorial in San Francisco for the hundreds of Russian sailors who came off their Asiatic fleet ships that died while helping the city put out a fire that threatened to lay waste to it during the War.
The Russian fleet also threatened to Shell Australian ports along with other British Pacific Colonies if Britain aided the Confederates. A confederate war ship spent a lot of time in Australian waters and was supported by the Australian public, some even signing on as crew members. This Confederate war ship laid waist to the US Pacific whaling fleet and is reported to have fired the last shot in the war. The name of the ship was called the CSS Shenandoah. Its surrender was at Liverpool England where Confederate Commander Bulloch was stationed.
Bulloch was the head spy Chief for the Confederates and main go between for London, Montreal, and Richmond. He was heavily involved in the finance of the South with British banking and supplied the south with its warships as most of them were made by the British. He was good friends with those who drafted the Very discriminatory Confederate Constitution and those that would later create the 'Clan'. He was also heavily involved in the assassinations of Lincoln and his cabinet members. He was Also the Uncle to President Theodore Roosevelt (on his mothers side of course) and Teddy greatly looked up to him and learned much from him from a very early age. Teddy called him 'Uncle Jimmy'. This is where Teddy Roosevelt got the idea for the 'Eff Bee Eye' he modeled it almost exactly from Londons 'Em Eye Five'.
Russia also helped Thailand (Kingdom of Siam) maintain its sovereignty from being completely Partitioned/Annexed from the British and French around the same time. The very word Thai (ไทย) means 'free man' in the Thai language which is partially to thank to the Russians as they might have ended up being a colony or part of another country/colony if not for their intervention.
What has any of that to do with Russia embarking on a genocidal imperialist conquest of Ukraine in the 2020s
When you get time proff. Have a look at the down turn in UK holidays. It shows the state of the UK economy.
Russia’s credibility has taken a serious hit. The currency has taken quite a dip. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
The currency has been going up and down a lot in the past year, it's nowhere close to the worst it's been during that period and nothing unordinary.
Nothing "unordinary"? Tell that to their central bank which has been propping up the ruble these past 30 months. While the ruble value keeps falling domestic inflation keeps rising.
Nawww... Nothing but sunny days ahead.
Russias economy is working at full capacity to produce lumps of scrap and raw meat (and losing productivity as the workforce becomes that meat) while Ukraine survives on the small change from the backs of our sofas.
Figures are approximate. Rounded up;
RF economy $4 trillion. Population 143 million.
UK Economy $4 trillion. Population 70 million.
EU economy $14 trillion. Population 480 million.
US economy $22 trillion. Population 330 million.
Enjoy!
I am reminded of a scene in 'The Death of Stalin' where Georgi Malenkov and Niki Khrushchev are quickmarching away from Berias office in the NKVD building, muttering (aware of bugs), worrying at the warnings and threats just received, counter-plotting; in the backround as the camera pulls back is a flight of stairs topped with two bluecaps 'assisting' a straght jacketed, hooded character on his obviously hampered excursion to the forever sleep.
As 'Swan Lake' fades a solemn Radio Moscow voice will describe it as a trip and a fall, only a short staircase, just five steps...
все будет по плану

Prof., could you just confirm that
все будет по плану
says what I think it says;
'It's all going to plan'
I do hope it's not like one of these Chinese tattoos that says 'Rim my Sphinx' or something...
This whole war feels to me like Spain in the 1930s. I hope I'm wrong. So many commentators say its a 2nd Cold War but it feels pre ww2. That being said I'm unsure if the FSB will stay loyal.
spain in the 1930s was basicly fascists (kind of) vs communists with democrats/ centralists in the middle. It was also a civil war (aka not a country invading another).
So, in what points do u see similarities, cause I see none.
Playing with your Tonka truck when the Towers came down were we?
@@anthonyraymond5718 Let me try to explain. When I am talking about Spain I'm NOT comparing the internal conflict that Spain had. I was trying to compare how Spain and possibly Ukraine are similar in the fact that they were fought with the help of other countries with the USSR supporting the Republicans and the Germans Supporting the Nationalists. THAT what I'm referring to. I'm not talking about why the war started in spain or those motives. I was trying to refer to how both sides were supported by larger blocs. That's what I meant. Sorry if I wasn't more clear. I saw the towers come down on TV on 9/11 in my home I wasn't playing. with anything.
@@Sean12248 That's great, I thought people may have been losing focus on what's really going on. 14,500 people lost their lives in the Donbass before the SMO and that was Poroshenko & Zelensky that did that not Putin. Research the Airstrike in Lugansk June 2nd 2014 and that's what the people of the Donbass have had to endure.
@@puraLusa The Donbass was Ukrainian before it had a referendum on joining Russia. Ukraine contravened the Minsk accords and murdered their own citizens. Why aren't you talking about that?
It is literally impossible to cope harder than this.
You're simply repeating a phrase of the terminally online. Do you know Russian culture? Are you Slavic? The commentary made in this video is credible. "Any sign of weakness is fatal." The fact of the matter is that wars are political matters. Russian resolve is limited by numerous factors that make this war far more complicated than the stalemate it appears to be. A breakdown of command structure is all that's necessary to achieve Ukrainian victory. What options does Russia have left on the escalatory ladder? Theyre begging hermit states for arms because their most crucial ally won't supply arms for fear of disrupting vital economic arrangements with Ukraine's partners... It is a grim situation for Russian strategists. How does anything resembling a victory emerge from this? And this is what the video is describing. There is no one coping.
For the average Russian the effects of the war will be harsh in the next 12 months. The ruble is weakening. Inflation is severe. Their perceived weakness in Beijing is noted. China sits in wait for the perfect moment to exploit their 'limitless' friendship.
Ukraine's incursion is not a simple matter of land, bargaining chips, it's significance is that it contradicts the idea that Putin is in control of the security of the Russian state. This is the ultimate necessity for any strong Russian leader. It always has been the case with Russian rulers. They are tasked with security provision over vast territories. Ukraine has successfully shown that the red lines are flexible, that the Russian oligarchy stands to lose the assets and freedom they enjoyed under the previously vaunted leadership in the Kremlin. Everything is beginning to break down in Russia, including the regime itself. For the first time in the war there are signs that even on a strategic military level, Ukraine will be able to deliver decisive strikes inside Russian territory. On that issue alone, the size of Russias territory works against it. Ukraine is winning beyond the front lines. Russia has no way to isolate Ukraine. For that it needs air dominance, and it can only achieve local air superiority at best. If Russia could, they'd have dealt with the corridor between Poland and Ukraine. They can't, and with F-16s assumed to be in Western Ukraine, such a mission would be interdicted. The Black Sea is not controlled by Russia and there is little to suggest that Russia will be able to take Ukraine's entire coastline. Isolating Ukraine is the only way Russia can achieve its maximalist goals. What have they done for the last 900 days besides deplete every resource at hand. Russia is in crisis at the moment on many levels.
@@Chironex_Fleckeri I look forward to reviewing this video in 12 months and seeing if Putin is overthrown.
What's happened with Afghanistan & the ongoing atrocities there?... Against women & children?... Not fashionable anymore?... Cognitive Dissonance..

Pray tell, who is this person you talk of Mr Robertson? Who are they? What do they do? Why are they in Odessa?
while Kursk 2024 was the biggest display of military hardware in a battle....ever, the Russia Ukraine war 2022 to present is simply the biggest waste of Russian ex Soviet military hardware ever. imagine, Soviet military hardware built up and stored in poorly maintained Russian military storage depots since the 1950s was simply wasted away, in poorly planned coordinated military actions. the Ukraine warzones have become a massive military scrap heap of Soviet weaponry.
Yes, it seems Putin's men just gave him numbers, and nothing qualitative.
Go over there and find out, John. Lol. Don't let fear stop you!
Could have been peacefully worked out in Turkey, except for a person with a first name of Boris ironically enough.
What could have been worked out? Turkey's cancelled F-35 purchase? I think that was Obama not Boris
Was he paid by the military-industrial complex?
Are they your paymaster?
@@kurtwicklund8901 l wish 😂
Let us pray you are correct sir! Ukraine's Independence day is a message of how important freedom is.. Grasp your freedom Ukraine! Let us give Ukraine the tools to succeed or risk our own freedom if we bow down to the desperate, violent, thug, dictator, predator, murderer, oppressor, criminal, Putin's Russia.
I think you need to do a bit more research, Professor. Do we blame Putin for the Wars OF Terror too? And the Towers?
10:11 Professor, this is a concise explanation of the situation. Mr. Putin seems to have believed his own publicity that has lead to his current difficulty. Who is still loyal to him? I would think people are mulling that over in Russia. Or at least they are remembering him with mixed feelings.
As in the words of B A in the TV program the A Team PICK A WINDOW FOOL YOUR LEAVING
also there were hundreds US M3 Lee and Stuart and British Churchill tanks at Kursk 1943, yep 81 years later US M1A1 Abrams and British Challenger 2 tanks are at Kursk 2024
Sad to say you are turning into the British Lindsey Graham….
I totally agree with you. It's not that hard to research the last ten years in the Donbass. My Grandfathers fought against the Das Reich flag not cheered for it. The Brits have lost the plot! Does anyone remember Guy Gibson & Douglas Bader in the UK??? I don't think so!
Oh, a sartorial change.
......when you buy your 'Dictator Doubles' from TEMU 😢
Prof, Not sure which century your head is in, whether it’s the 17th, 18th 19th or 20th, certainly ain’t the 21st… in fact it appears you still live in Soviet times.
I think your dress code is brilliant like your mind 😅
Colon? Or is it Colin? 😆
Russia crossed the red line of Ukraine and the west.
What are you going to do about it? Pick up the Das Reich flag and see what happens to you! Lol

You dumbass
Ukraine will win and the Ukrainian soldiers great movements and strategies will be discussed for decades to come.
What’s with the lord of the rings outfit?
It's the timeless and cultivated English eccentric look
His family is from Rohan.
Maybe Ukraine 🇺🇦 can force Russia 🇷🇺 to give back Crimea!
Didn’t Japan 🇯🇵 beat Russia very early in the 20th century? Like 1903 or 1906?
Russians were shocked and embarrassed that Japan 🇯🇵 beat them.
I do not hate Russia, and have longed to visit for as long as I can remember, but now is not a good time, and I may never be able to go…😢
Putin's joint chiefs have shown remarkably poor generalship throughout this campaign, however tactical nuclear response still remains tabled. Ukraine has struck at Russia, lost significant men badly needed elsewhere inside theatre, and unnecessarily extended its supply line. This logistical line only further depletes men and material vainly without tactical reason.
I think we have come to the point where we have a conflict where neither side can win, we have got to the stage where the pressure to end this war will come from the widows and the mothers of Russian soldiers as it did in Afghanistan.
😂😂😂😂😂
Will NATO take charge in running the new Russia in the Future?
what a nonsensical idea!
Putin goes to a séance to speak to his hero Stalin and asks Stalin “Kursk has been taken again what should i do” Stalin replies “That’s easy send the Ukrainians in to attack and get tanks from the Americans” 🤣🤣🥳🇺🇦Slava Ukraine Heroyam Slava a happy and proud independence day
LOL!
Interesting that the USA and other western countries warned ukraine that their missles cannot be used to launch attacks from ukraine to Russia but now they are perfectly fine their missles being used to attack Russia from Russian territory(Kursk ) LOL. Hilarious.
No to Starmer, no to Zelensky.
Well said 😊
"No" is the extent of modern Tory eloquence after all.
Hahaha this propaganda is a joke
When you say Ukraine, you mean the US surely ?
Ukraine European..
America other side of world..
Learn geography clown🧐🇮🇪
4:44 That's a lie. Just because your media does not report it, doesn't make it true. You should do your own research before making claims like that one, Professor.
@@Z4K97B
So you have proof of Ukrainian war crimes?
Or should I flag you for misinformation.

Will you please start a ytube
Channel (itl be tough with YTube) leaving in September- because you have all the facts and everyone else is wrong.
What you talking about 🧐
Ukrainians have no reason to attack Russian civilians, that doesn't help them end the war. They are only attacking targets of military significance and not civilians. On the other hand, there is ample documentation of Russians deliberately attacking Ukrainian civilians. Your assertion is nonsense.
Putins days are numbered😂
Sadly the civilians say opposite to your conclusion! Problem i have, who do i believe.
Mind you biased opinions, project the truth.
Question, are you promoting war, Professor.
Many in this world are tired of wars.
civilians in Russia? Not the ones with whom I have spoken...
@@ProfessorTimWilsonRemember the ethnic Russian civilians deliberately attacked in the predominantly ethnic Russian Donbass, since 2014. Over 14 thousand casualties. The BBC even went there and showed this. Now all forgotten because it doesn't suit the current narrative.
We British citizens would like the world know we do not support Ukraine we are on the side of truth and justice 🇷🇺☺️
