- The Russian Army is massing next to the Ukrainian Border what in the what is happening? Ukrainians are worried they're getting ready to invade, take over and generally finish the job they started when they annexed Crimea in 2014.
The US Military and Government is formulating and response while Putin sits back in his million dollar gamer chair waiting to see how his latest chess move plays out on the world stage.

As an armchair military historian, I'm thrilled with the idea of your new effort. Good on ya.
Ditto 😎
What happened to 2nd - 4th squad ?

Interesting to watch this post-invasion and gain some more insight as to why this war is going down. Thanks Cap
Marine Corps: Starts legitimately preparing for a future war involving Island hopping.
War in Europe that we spent the past 70 years preparing for that never came:
The Army is better suited for a war against Russia while the Marines are better suited for China.
@@xelations6002 USA is ready for anyone I am Irish if need I would join the USA army in the morning if I was allowed to I would have already haha
@C L heheheh Ye it’s fighting for or against the queen it’s silly petty wars they should leave and let us be ha but yes if democracy was at stake I would join sir C.L also I would fight any Irish war that is to come in my life time
@C L I would definitely take some angry Irish demolitions experts in a war against Russia, unconventional warfare would be necessary in a 21st century conflict.
Marines are preparing to fight China...they are our biggest threat not Russia. Russia’s navy is trash..chinas is bigger than ours and growing quickly.Russia wants some buffer states. China wants all of Asia and to make us weak. They want to become the new world power.
Great content. As a old cold warrior, this reminds me of being in the army in the 80's. I've been looking into the build up recently and had not heard about the water shortages. That and the theory of Putin testing Biden makes a lot of sense. This is pretty intense. Keep the videos coming.
Ukraine and Taiwan are in the cross hairs.
@@IvorMektin1701 That and India are likely the 3 spots that could spark WW3, the shift of power if taken over could be too much.
The water shortage in Crimea is of Russian making. Ukraine has been supplying Crimea with water, electricity and gas from the moment Russia invaded it to avoid giving Russia this exact excuse. Russia built a bridge to facilitate movement (including troop movement), electricity, gas and water from mainland Russia to Crimea.
So either Russia has over-populated Crimea or they are restricting water themselves to create this issue. It is interesting itself that the shortage is only water. A shortage of electricity, food, gas would impede troop buildup. But a shortage of water doesn’t because they have enough drinking water, they are simply on water rations.
Is it possible that Biden or NATO are testing Putin?
@@MatoVuc doubt it...simply because it's Russian troops amassed on the border with Ukraine, not NATO or Biden amassing troops against a Russian border.
I like the new channel but is it modular?
Love from Lithuania. This disagreement puts quite a lot of pressure on us as Lithuanians. Hopefully everything will end without any shots fired! 🇱🇹♥️
shots are fired every day in Ukraine, ukrainian soldiers dying almost every day. You are free to feel the pressure, yeah...
I hate say this but this fight is coming Eigirdas you need to prepare yourself. Russia is going attack Ukraine, it just a matter of when.
@@marctemura2017 Ukraine is so corrupt and screwed up economically I don't see why Russia would want it. Russia is now the worlds largest exporter of wheat. CHINA has leased an enormous amount of Ukrainian farmland. Russia has replaced Ukraine as it's heavy engine and gas turbine producer. Same with the Baltics. They have nothing that Russia hasn't replaced when the 2014 sanctions were put in place. All Russia needs is southern latitude crop production and for that it will trade with Greece, Cyprus and Turkey. The Burisma company can continue to steal what little gas passes through Ukraine before Nordstream II makes Ukraine gas transit unnecessary.
@@richardkroll2269 Putin is at the end of his reign, and is getting desperate. his actions, whether of his own design or simply sanctioned by him, have been less logical the longer he's in power.
I'm Lithuanian too.
I love how you express the view from the Russian and Ukrainian perspectives - great work. Also, if you want to start programming, Python is the best place to start lol.
"You can spot the commie by the carrot like nose." - McCarthy
Small note, “the” Ukraine is from the Soviet days. It refers to a time when it was one of many Soviet republics in the USSR. The more diplomatic term would just be Ukraine. It sounds silly but I’ve known a few Ukrainians who didn’t like the inclusion of the “the.”
As a Ukrainian, I support this comment
@@robomaster5274 большое спасибо!
@@robomaster5274 i honestly hold with russia on this one.
thank you for writing it, cause I would spit a hell of a swear on that ignorant in the video
Yeah, that's an absolute falsehood.
The reason why *THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE* uses the definite article for _the_ Ukraine is because of the meaning of the word Ukraine, "borderlands", which *REQUIRES* the use of "the" as a part of its grammar.
The EXACT SAME THING goes for *the* Netherlands! It's grammatically WRONG to say "I'm going to visit Netherlands" because it follows the same grammar rules as the English word "lowlands", hence it must be used in the same manner.
_"We are approaching _*_the_*_ lowlands now"_ is correct.
_"We are approaching lowlands now"_ is absolutely wrong, and any native speaker of English can tell something is off about that sentence, it doesn't sound right.
_"We are approaching the Netherlands now"_ correct
_"We are approaching Netherlands now"_ incorrect
_"We will be landing in the Ukraine shortly"_ is correct
_"We will be landing in Ukraine shortly"_ is *WRONG*
I'm quite frankly tired of Ukrainians using the English language in a proxy war with Russia.
Ukrainians, you *don't have* a definite article in your language, don't act like you know how it should be used, where it is appropriate to use it or not. Your behaviour is disgusting, shall I unilaterally campaign for the addition of a definite article to be inserted into the Ukrainian language? How would you like that, a foreigner messing with your language?
Change:
"litak nezabarom pryzemlytʹsya"
To
" _Zayt_ litak nezabarom pryzemlytʹsya"
Now Ukrainian has a definite article, congratulations!
BTW, it's still Kiev in English, not Kyiv. It has nothing to do with Russia. Kiev is how you spell Kiev in English, Kyiv is how you spell Kiev if you transliterate it from Cyrillic into the Latin alphabet.
"...I'm just a former E4 with back problems."
I really felt that. Literally, my back hurts right now.
Had passing thoughts on 1st Squad while watching Task and Purpose. Shows up in my recommended, watched it and I'm actually more invested with the detail you not only talk about,but show. The presentation and discussion hooked me.
Hello, I'm watching your videos from France and I want to say I just love this format, it's very interisiting and smooth so keep going!
bro you really popping off with these 1st squad videos, but I was interested in this conflict but never took the time to research.
The word "same" isnt enough
Same
Same same, but different, but still same!
Probably a good thing you didnt research it, I did and with biased journalists trying to paint narratives, the information goes in every direction and makes things so confusing. Big thanks to Corolla_pimpin'97 (aka cappy lol jk but its be a good name for him)
Love this channel man keep the videos coming you're doing great ❤
I am loving these slower paced videos, its really relaxing to listen too and often brings up different viewpoints that I wouldn't have thought of.
One of the best videos about the conflict I’ve ever seen! Keep it up man, the trajectory is aiming and in the path of greatness!
You should do one about the conflict in Myanmar
Not a "conflict". Just a thinning of the disobedient. Authoritarianism style. Popular with the trumpanzies.
It's great to hear the tentative perspective of a fellow lower enlisted, non-SOF soldier. Very informative deep dive. Subscribed!
that subscriber number keeps on climbing. keep it up, really enjoying the having a chat over beers feel.
love this new channel it feels more chill and relaxed were we get to sit down and just have a chat about military stuff
This video was so good thanks man!
Thank you for making this. Especially if you did it after reading the comments.
There's often been an inkling that War is Hell. This is just so educational. War is also VERY complicated and very difficult to predict. Thank you for making me think about things I never thought about. Amazing work.
Really happy with the new content Chris! I love hearing more about stuff! Subscribed
Love the new channel. I’d find it interesting to go in depth on our neighbors’ (Mexico & Canada) military doctrines. Talked to a few soldiers when I lived there & I think it’d be interesting to see more in-depth info about it
13 minutes in:
Nobody goes to war thinking their the bad guy.
Love your content man, keep it up!
I really appreciate the "deep dive" or half-deep dive into this recent topic.
Thanks again
Love the content dude!
22:24 keep it coming cappy, A lot of interesting thing happened in 2014. Regarding military powers and their influences .
Really appreciate your channels. Love this podcast format. Nice to get some work done with this in the background.
great vid, cant wait to check out the rest of this channel
Great video, interesting topics, this channel is doing good work.
We were legit talking about this today before this was uploaded thanks for the update, plz keep these updated when need be. What you think about the Taiwan news we got? Maybe it was old but I got told today articles came up today about that stuff
I was unaware of these developments until this video. I really like Task &.Purpose with the humorous look at military issues but it’s also nice to get your authentic take on things on this channel.
Your videos are doing great. Content, research and delivery. Keep up the great work and topics!
The stuff you said about great generals is exactly what I’ve been saying for years now.
If you have the chance, feel free to explore more in different nation’s viewpoints like India, Pakistan, China and etc and how we can learned from their battlefield histories and tactics.
@@TaskPurpose1stSquad Sun Tzu is a good place to start.
I love these type of videos. Keep up the great work.
Kudos for your channel. I enjoy hearing your obviously well thought out perspectives on your subjects as well as your empathetic views of the different participants involved.
Hey from a civilian standpoint & also a military history an equipment Nut. I watch your vidios threw an threw and gotta say your on point with info& knowledge about the topic. It's nice to be able to listen to somone who has been enlisted it give's what your talking about that much more marit i believe. I think your doing a hell of a job . Keep it coming ! its important people get this kind of break down of history an current event's with the military , equipment , etc. Thank you .
Been hearing about water wars being the next thing that's going to happen for a while now, guess this might be what's going to kick that off.
But that isn't a classical case. Russia did annex Crimea in a first hand, so their 'casus beli' are not fair in any kind.
There was a big water element to the proliferation of militias in Syria - a lot of folk there can't farm anymore.
Correction: There was no fighting in Crimea, the Fighting was in the Ukrainian Oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk, with Ukraine fighting DPR and LPR, which are Russian backed.

@@kabzaify America just doesn't believe typical lies of all its haters like you
@@Len1977gt That's just...fucking stupid lmao If an adversary says 2+2=4 it doesn't mean 2+2=500 does it....a fact is a fact no matter who it comes from
Thanks, Cappy.
Really appreciate this man, you’re great at explaining and breaking things down.
All of my support is for Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇸
The moment when US army vet, makes a balanced news analysis then any news channel ever could. Carry on mate. Hi from Russia
You have better information about this than I have seen anywhere else!
This was super unbiased, Im impressed. Subscribed imidiatly. Good luck with this new channel.
Dude: Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Gulf of Tonkin. Fall of the Berlin Wall. I don't know how you can say it won't happen by accident.
On a side note if any of ya'll want to have a look into how the war in Ukraine is I highly reccomend a series here on TH-cam that is called "93: the Battle for Ukraine" by Lidi Ya Films
I will second that recommendation. It is very informative.
I was watching "Russian Roulette in Ukraine" it's a good series by VICE
as much as I hate VICE
I did the translation of the subtitles to English for it. Great content.
keep 'em coming, cappy!
Thanks for these videos, I'm finding them really useful. I enjoy your videos on the other channel and you've made learning about current affairs more interesting
When another World War with Russia breaks out
Germany:
"Ah sh*t, here we go again."
"3rd time is a charm."
Well, at least this time it wouldn´t be a 2 front war, not technically.
Well Germany will win this time as long they stay with nato\us
On 12 June 2020, Ukraine joined NATO's enhanced opportunity partner interoperability program.
Being a PARTNER of NATO is different to being a MEMBER of NATO. Article 5 doesn't extend to partner nations. Only to member nations.
Hasn’t Ukraine been wanting to join NATO for like 15 years now?
Nice work articulating the mindset of troops on both sides, and providing a breakdown from a macro perspective too.
I like these more than the first channel vids even -- please keep this up, and cover developments to previous vids (maybe algorithm will help keep people in an autoplay limbo of 1st squad)
Check the boots. That's how we knew that Russia special forces were involved.
Can you go into further detail....sounds interesting
@@timothybryant3277 I'll try and remember the details. 10 members of 331st Airborne Regiment of the 98th Division based normally at Kostroma, got caught in Ukraine. (I'll link what I can find below)
Before that, I believe it was BBC reporters who were the one to catch active duty Russian Special Forces because of their boots. I specifically remember that the reporters were detained for their cameras.
A lot of information can be gleaned from this research.
www.researchgate.net/publication/286716615_Rebel-War_in_Ukraine
(Browser Translation works great) On February 27, 2014, armed people in camouflage without identification marks took control of the building of the Supreme Soviet and the government of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, which at that time was part of Ukraine, and in subsequent days over the airport in Simferopol and other strategic facilities on the peninsula.
spec-naz.org/index.php?/calendar/event/109/
Yeah, no other than sports shoes or sneakers or other Pumas, Converse...
@@HanSolo__ They rocked out in Mockba sneakers in Afghanistan and Chechen wars. (Bootleg adidas) Russia let their Special Forces buy their own boots. Regular Soldiers in the Russian army could not afford expensive boots. Those that could afford it.... The older soldiers would take it. Dedovshchina is hazing time 1000.
@@area609joe7 Dude. They wear sports boots because they dont give a fuck. Thesecare more comfortable. Spetnaz is by far most known for wearing whatever the shit they want. In Georgia there was no single Russian soldier wearing military boots, and no 2 soldiers wearng the same set of camo/type uniform.
Ukraine's military expenditure has definitely increased considerably since from 1 billion in 2014 to 5 billion in 2020 still extremely low and corruption will drag on any reforms and improvements to the Ukrainian military. There does seem to be increased levels of cooperation between Turkey, the Czech republic and the Ukraine already and a number of other countries which may help as well. They have made big strides since 2014 when there army was a total shambles but they still have a huge amount of work to do . Also the country as a whole has a major corruption problem that needs to be seriously addressed.
Its actually 9.6 billion USD if you include Security budget
This was phenomenal, thank you for a balanced insight into what's going on over there. More like this please!
Cool vid, well researched, well presented. Congrats on the new channel 👍
Ukrainian guard: The Russians are invading!
Russian soldier: Relax, we are just here on vacation.
Ukrainian guard: What've you got there?
Russian soldier: Uh... Skiing equipment.
Ukrainian guard: Sir that's a T-90 MBT!
Ukrainian soldiers: Can we join you guys.
Russian soldiers: Sure, we brought extra uniforms for you.
Ukra..sorry. New Russian soldiers: Awesome. It fits.
How else can you ski??
@@James-kp8mg they were pro-Russian separatist not Russian solider first all all.
Some guy named james: claims that Russia did invade Ukraine
So which was it they supplied pro-Russian rebels or they invaded it themself?
@@whitewall4403 It follows from your logic that Hitler did not invade the USSR, he only supported the Soviet separatist Vlasov.
@@Predohranitel logic as it was well know as you Russian are that brainwashed to say hitler invading USSR
First Class production. This needs a wider audience.
Your channel is awesome, keep up the good work.
Really liking the humanity and the content from the new channel keep it up bud!
If you become a military historian and tactics analysts, as long as its engaging, I would watch it.
lmao, "the ukraine". btw amazing video!
Appreciated the time you spent to share your perspective
Love this video chappy!!!
I'm impressed with your ability to understand the Russian mindset. Good stuff. I'd add that, historically, about every 100 years Russia has faced an invasion of some sort from the West. In my opinion, their leadership are trying to secure the longevity of the country with this historical fact in mind. Also, it is better to just say "Ukraine" instead of "the Ukraine". The reason people say this is because the "krai" in the word Ukraine means "border" or "the borderland" (of Russia). The word Ukraine is etymologically connected to the concept of a borderland. This has somehow come into English with people saying "the Ukraine" (kinda like "the borderlands"). It inadvertently denies the independence of Ukraine by reinforcing the idea that Ukraine is simply the outskirts of Russia and not a sovereign nation. For this reason, many educated Russian speakers have stopped saying "na Ukraine" (literally on Ukraine like you'd say "on the boarder lands") and now say "v Ukraine" (in Ukraine like you'd say when talking about a sovereign nation). Just a note!
This is brilliant. This is the exact type of stuff that interests me. We all know what's happening is horrible, tense and foreboding, but it's also extremely fascinating. I thought you were pretty objective here. The water makes perfect sense, as does the Biden probing.
I appreciate you showing both perspectives !
Awesome video my man
Man if I get sent to Russia with a bullpup fresh out of AIT, I’m throwing a fit
What about the new SAW?
Possible Idea that I've been independently researching is the semi-sudden build up of the Japanese armed forces post Y2K and how it might affect Eastern Asia relations as well as if it breaks the post WWII sanctions we put on our now ally (I.E. build up of Naval assets and the conversion of a helicopter carrier to launch F-35Cs)
Good trash! Glad to see you doing something that you like and curios about. Your eyes show how much you are enjoying going over this! Look forward to more great content!
Great video hope this channel takes off
Great video, thank you from Estonia..yknow the place uncomftrably close to Russia.
If you are a Ukrainan soldier - you remember the names of all of your friends who died fighting a trench war with the Russians in the east. Also you are fighting against the invaders to your country. Geopolitics and western prosperity does not even enter that mindset.
Good stuff Chris, keep it coming, and we all have back problems my dude.
Hey Chris, I really hope this new channel does well because the content is amazing. Its unique and was a great watch. Keep up the hard work!
I think u forgot to mention few things:
1. There were about 15k russian soldiers in Crimea before the 2014 Sevastopol was russian foreign naval base
2. There was not a single shot fired by ukranian military in Crimea or near its borders during or after the revolution in the Ukraine in 2014. The civil war goes in the region of Donbas
3. In the attempt to get Crimea back and as the act of care of its citizens Ukraine not only turned off the walve of water but also switched off the electricity and enaged a total blockade of all supplies including food and medical to people in Crimea. Btw most of this problems are solved by now thanks to the crimean bridge.
4. Russia started the "drilles" near the borders of Ukraine as the response to Ukranian troops concetrating near the borders of rebel states of Donbas and if u look closely at the map that u showed in the video u will see that Lugansk and Donetsk are under artillery fire atm and people are dying in their beds including small children.
Stop calling it The Ukraine. It’s just Ukraine. Being called The Ukraine was when they were under USSR control. We had a foreign exchange student from Ukraine who got extremely pissed off if we put “the” in ground of Ukraine.
@@TaskPurpose1stSquad It’s all good. Trust me I have called it “The Ukraine” many many times
Love your videos, but I could definitely see your gears turning in this vid
Cappy I’m Glad you are doing what you doin. And like
Sigh, it is not “the Ukraine”, it is “Ukraine”. “The” denotes a region, “Ukraine” is a country.
The ok.
@@dynestis2875 actually not according to the Ukrainian government that actually publishes a guide to pronouncing and spelling names of places in Ukraine. It’s not a big deal (to me), just trying to respect to the country.
Its just how they talk. They don't mean to offend
@@hanro7430 yes I understand. At school we were also taught incorrectly. I’m not running around calling anyone silly names, just trying to get it out there that what we were taught is wrong, and explain the difference 🙂
@@saberint its not a matter of being taught wrong. Its a matter of that's how english work. You use the word "the" before other words
Let me ask you and everyone this question,
“Crimea was transferred from Russia to Ukraine in 1954, when both were part of the Soviet Union, at that time the Crimean people had not been asked about their view, whereas in the 2014 referendum they had, and with a turnout of 83% of the Crimean population they voted 97% percent in favor for integration of the region into the Russian Federation. Also, observers to the 2014 Crimean referendum included members of the European Union's parliament, as well as MPs from various European nations, including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia and Poland, and that observers quoted regarding the conditions of the referendum that they corroborated claims of the referendum having adhered to international standards, with no irregularities or breaches of democracy. Yet, you and others are calling a democratically held referendum an ANNEXATION, however when Kosovo declared its independence in 2008 simply by its members of the Assembly and without an internationally observed referendum immediately the US, UK, France, Italy, Turkey and many other states it was immediately recognized.”
- having said that can someone please explain to me why we live in a world that is sooo anti Russia still? Why are we in the US constantly sanctioning Russia for everything and are okay with selling Saudi Arabia billions of dollars in weapons to kill the innocent civilians in Yemen? We are constantly meddling in almost every other countries elections even going as far as killing their leaders and are soo butt hurt about a few Facebook posts about US elections. How can everyone not see the irony in this all? Why are you so biased against Russia 🇷🇺 and attempting to put all of the blame on Russia even going as far as to humiliate their accents?
Dude, this content is just great. It works because of your sincere interest.
This new format is great Chris
So what, For years now we've watched massive displays but reality is Russian military is falling apart. Their equipment is Cold War and post cold war relics. policymakers can learn from the history of imperial collapse is that the role of the international community is paramount in sorting out relations between former rulers and subjects. Few stable states have emerged from the ruins of bygone empires without strong international support, whether it is the French role in securing American independence, Russian and British involvement in the struggle for Greek statehood, or the U.S. role in supporting the aspirations of former Warsaw Pact. 22 Russian oligarchs stolen half the nations wealth from the state. The other 150 million Russians were left in destitution and poverty, and the average life expectancy in Russia dropped from 65 to 57 years. ordinary Russians took to the streets to protest his rule. Putin’s method of dealing with an angry population comes from the standard dictator playbook. Assassinate media and journalists who report on the subject; and start wars. Starting wars is preiminent method for ignoring internal domestic and social issues
this is an excellent piece of content man. i was unaware of the recent water tension. damn scary stuff
This content is really great and I would like to here about Norway and their military cuz I saw one of your community posts about them and it got me interested in them
Super insightful. Keep 'em coming!
