I saw some depressing interviews on the BBC regarding Kursk where Russian civilians were asking “why is this happening to us? We just want to live in peace.” Apparently completely oblivious to the fact their country repeatedly invaded Ukraine and has completely demolished many Ukrainian cities. I wonder if it is even possible for Russian society to realise they are the aggressors here.
To create internal pressure against the Putin dictatorship, Russians in Moscow and State Petersburg need to feel concerned or threatened. Else, those Russians in big cities just watch the news, much detached from events. Russian aggression will persist so long as middle class Russians are pumped-up nationalism and are deluded in the faux belief Russia is world power like the old Soviet Union.
I did reply to this one but it was immediately deleted maybe the times dont like the truth , it si onlt the poor that are coming home in body bags not the wealthy
It is sad for both sides. Decent Russian families are forced apart. The thousands of kidnapped children which happened at the beginning of this war. What has happened to them?
Most Russians aren't wondering that because Putin's administration had a strategy for who to conscript first: Men from rural areas. Places with a low population density. Next, they started incentivizing "volunteers" from prisons. If they start conscripting city boys, more people will notice.
I think the reason he is not moving troops from other areas is far more simple. Logistics. The Russian army simply cannot move large amounts of troops, equipment and ammunition any more.
Plus ukraines taking out bridges so they can't be out flanked or anything so unless they can fly over a bridge it's even harder to get ground equipment there. And when they do they bomb it :P
No no, Russia is vast. The Ukranian incursion is insignificant. Holding Oblast Donbas is far more important. And Putin can use the incursion to fool Russians like he did for 25 years already.
Putin was a mid level KGB colonel who is now one of the world's wealthiest men. He, and his oligarchy, stole money from the Russian people, and by extension, the Russian military to become what he is. The failed Russian military is entirely his fault.
The very word "Kursk" will be forever associated with Putin. Remember the submarine bearing the same name that was lostvwith all hands due to him not allowing foreign help when it was offered and could have saved lives. 😢 onwards 🇺🇦

There is still YT in Russia (pretty sure) and many do learn English in Russia, especially if younger. And most Russians are well aware their government lies. A few months back there was a rumor that more people needed a home security system in part of Russia, which the government eventually publicly denied ….leading to a huge spike in home security equipment sales. Many consider a government denial as confirmation. Like anywhere, it varies. Some are true Z believers, some know the truth and secretly support Ukraine, or leave, some just want to live their lives, etc.
They think moves ahead and always have alternative plans. If you notice, away from whatever happens on the frontline they carry on attacking other things or operations behind the Russian lines.

A joke in Russia: a man goes to a kiosk, buys a newspaper, looks over the front page, and throws it away. The next day, he does the same thing. Third day the man who runs the kiosk asks "Why do you even buy the paper if you don't want to read it?" -- "I'm just checking the obituaries" -- "Obituaries aren't on the front page!" -- "The one I'm looking for will be"
Recently Putin consulted a psychic and asked her "How long will I live?" The psychic replied "I cannot see that, but... I know you will die on a Ukrainian holiday." "Which holiday?" Putin asked anxiously. "Whichever day you die, that day will be a national holiday in Ukraine."

We're about to enter the third year of the "three days to Kiev" military special operation, and as of right now... Russia is starting to lose territory
Actually, Ukraine could take 1700+ sq km of Kursk plus some of Belgorod within the next week or so. All the bridges over the Seim River have now been cut. Unless Russian troops in the area south of the Seim have already retreated, they will be caught, with dwindling supplies, between Ukranians moving west from their bridgehead, the fortified Ukranian border and a 50-80 mtr. wide river with no bridges.
We know nothing is going to plan when we remember that the 42 mile Kiev bound convoy on day 2 of this war was destroyed/broke down, and one of those trucks was full of Russian bunting and other assorted celebratory nick-nacks. I think the word ‘plan’ has been overused in Putins war.
Even if Russia does continue to concentrate on its operations in the Donetsk, Ukraine has put Putin in a real dilemma: having chosen to press on there, he will now have to use more conscripts to counter the new threat in the border zone. Over time, this will generate more opposition in Russia itself, which was likely Ukraine's primary aim in the first place, according to Danish military expert Anders Puck Nielsen.
There comes a point when official “reassurance” creates doubts, not confidence. That is when the reassurance is seen as baseless. The panicked mood on Russian State TV indicates that we may be approaching that point.
One day, they say "We could lose this war." The next day, it's "we shouldn't talk about this; we simply have to trust Putin to make our booboo feel better.

My big take-away from Abbas Gallyamov's message? When negotiting with a tyrant like Putin, there is only one position from which to do so: with your size-ten boot hovering menacingly over and just inches above his jugular vein, NOT from a position where he holds all the trump-cards. Slava Ukraine!
8:30 A good bit of psychology from Abbas Gallyamov - when he was winning his war the Russian people didn't bother to question it, but now he is losing, their doubts about his ability to win eventually spread into doubting his reasons for the war. 10:30 More psychology, this time from me - If the people and oligarchs see that Putin can be beaten on the battlefield, they might think he can be beated in Russia.
Sorry to say this for the Russian population in Kursk, but of course Crimea and a buffer zone to the North and the East is much more valuable than Kursk: it is the non-freezing port Russia has always dreamt of! I am not in the least surprised that Putin values it so much. Probably there are powerful interest groups asking for military action leading to that since much longer than we think.
That‘s a very dangerous philosophy if you only fake to be mighty, as Putin is learning right now. If you‘re a blowfish you shouldn‘t start a fight with a shark.
Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, has encountered substantial criticism for his actions concerning the invasion of Ukraine. Many analysts argue that this military aggression signifies a profound disregard for international norms and the welfare of both Ukrainian and Russian citizens. Critics assert that Putin's decisions are primarily motivated by a desire to consolidate power and bolster national pride, often at the expense of human rights and regional stability. This situation has generated widespread global concern regarding the implications for democracy, security, and humanitarian principles. Furthermore, there is a prevailing view that Putin has underestimated the resilience and leadership of Ukraine, which has demonstrated significant resolve in the face of adversity. This miscalculation may have far-reaching consequences, not only for the immediate conflict but also for the broader geopolitical landscape.
@@beb5816 The potential consequences for President Vladimir Putin should he choose to invade another country would likely be multifaceted and severe, encompassing diplomatic, economic, and military dimensions. 1. **Diplomatic Isolation**: An invasion would likely lead to significant diplomatic repercussions. The international community, particularly Western nations and international organizations such as the United Nations, would likely condemn such actions. This could result in Russia facing increased isolation, with diminished participation in international forums and decreased bilateral relations with numerous countries. 2. **Economic Sanctions**: Historically, military aggression has prompted the imposition of stringent economic sanctions. In the event of a new invasion, Russia could face a comprehensive package of sanctions targeting key sectors of its economy, including banking, energy, and trade. These measures could exacerbate existing economic challenges and lead to significant financial strain. 3. **Military Response**: Depending on the scale and nature of the invasion, there could be a military response from NATO or other regional defense alliances. This could range from increased military presence in adjacent countries to direct military engagement, thereby escalating tensions and potentially leading to broader conflict. 4. **Internal Unrest**: An invasion and the resultant international backlash could provoke internal dissent within Russia. Public opinion may shift, particularly if the conflict leads to significant casualties or economic hardship. This could result in protests and increased scrutiny of the government's actions. 5. **Impact on Global Stability**: Such an act of aggression could destabilize not only the region in question but also broader international relations. It may lead to a reevaluation of security policies by neighboring countries, increased military spending, and a general climate of insecurity. In conclusion, the decision to invade another country carries profound implications for Russia, affecting its international standing, economic stability, and internal cohesion. The international community’s response would likely be swift and multifaceted, aimed at deterring further aggression and restoring stability.
How many Americans vote for an antidemocratic duopole of corrupt parties? Do you even know who decides for the US foreign policy ? Biden ? Who is a sheep?
Putin''s operation "Revenge" reminds me of the segment from Monty Python, The Holy Grail: "Run away, run away, run away, run away, run away, run away, ..."
It's called tunnel vision. Occupation of Donbas is the promise putin made. It's on video. If he fails, everyone will play that video and laugh at him. There is no video of putin promising protection of Kursk so no one will laugh at him. This is what's happening, imho.
No better man or woman to ask about Putin than the person charged with officially expressing his thoughts for speeches. Great Questions, and I recognise those gaming headphones you've borrowed; I've temporarily liberated my son's set too. 😂
This is not an unprovoked attack on Russia. This is a response to an unprovoked attack on Ukraine, just like the Soviet response to Germany's attack in 1941, where Soviet troops went all the way to Berlin. Ukraine fights for love of country. Russia fights for love of Putin. How do you think this will end? 🇺🇦💙🇺🇦💙🇺🇦💙

The international community, particularly Western nations and international organizations such as the United Nations, would likely condemn such actions. This could result in Russia facing increased isolation, with diminished participation in international forums and decreased bilateral relations with numerous countries.
2. **Economic Sanctions**: Historically, military aggression has prompted the imposition of stringent economic sanctions. In the event of a new invasion, Russia could face a comprehensive package of sanctions targeting key sectors of its economy, including banking, energy, and trade. These measures could exacerbate existing economic challenges and lead to significant financial strain.
3. **Military Response**: Depending on the scale and nature of the invasion, there could be a military response from NATO or other regional defense alliances. This could range from increased military presence in adjacent countries to direct military engagement, thereby escalating tensions and potentially leading to broader conflict.
4. **Internal Unrest**: An invasion and the resultant international backlash could provoke internal dissent within Russia. Public opinion may shift, particularly if the conflict leads to significant casualties or economic hardship. This could result in protests and increased scrutiny of the government's actions.
5. **Impact on Global Stability**: Such an act of aggression could destabilize not only the region in question but also broader international relations. It may lead to a reevaluation of security policies by neighboring countries, increased military spending, and a general climate of insecurity.
In conclusion, the decision to invade another country carries profound implications for Russia, affecting its international standing, economic stability, and internal cohesion. The international community’s response would likely be swift and multifaceted, aimed at deterring further aggression and restoring stability.
Unbelievable anyone who ever trusted Putin!
Of course he has, but the 146.000.000 sheep aren't really bothered
Sheeple
Slaves, not sheep.
You don't understand Russians. It's his closest advisors who will replace him.
How many Americans vote for an antidemocratic duopole of corrupt parties? Do you even know who decides for the US foreign policy ? Biden ? Who is a sheep?
Gallyamov is a good expert.
The fanatic analysis is good. Any future analysis of a military situation should take into account Putins fanaticism.
Interesting interview.
😂 No propaganda with Putin, just straight forward lie.😂 He's just a liar: Military exercises, special operation etc etc.😅
Putin''s operation "Revenge" reminds me of the segment from Monty Python, The Holy Grail:
"Run away, run away, run away, run away, run away, run away, ..."
It's called tunnel vision. Occupation of Donbas is the promise putin made. It's on video. If he fails, everyone will play that video and laugh at him. There is no video of putin promising protection of Kursk so no one will laugh at him. This is what's happening, imho.
We're still laughing though.
Putin is miscalculated
There’s oil and gas fields in the area that Putin has taken in Ukraine..
Very few even mention this fact..
We may say to the Taliban: Wellcome to Tagikistan and to russia
No better man or woman to ask about Putin than the person charged with officially expressing his thoughts for speeches. Great Questions, and I recognise those gaming headphones you've borrowed; I've temporarily liberated my son's set too. 😂
This is not an unprovoked attack on Russia. This is a response to an unprovoked attack on Ukraine, just like the Soviet response to Germany's attack in 1941, where Soviet troops went all the way to Berlin.
Ukraine fights for love of country.
Russia fights for love of Putin.
How do you think this will end?
🇺🇦💙🇺🇦💙🇺🇦💙
The USA tried to save the Chinese Nationalist army in Chinese Civil war, 1945-1949, failed.
The USA tried to save South Vietnam, failed.
The USA and its many allies tried to save Afghanistan government, failed.
In Afghanistan war, the Afghanistan government army which backed by the USA lost 70,000 soldiers, Taliban lost 50,000 soldiers.
😮ok
Russian move to Ukraine
And
Ukraine move to russian 😐
✍🏼 Deal 🤝

I guess only us 40 and 50 year olds plus can understand an "a team" comment.
@@metalandwood4u Not really the A team is in syndication practically everywhere
@@jwick1215 ah yeah, there is that. Forgot about reruns.
The world’s finest army should simply accept the Belgorod challenge
👍
It's nearly time for Putin to take his pension and retire to that dacha - happens to us all
I don’t know where your getting your information from but I'm hearing that as old as 65yrs old men are preparing to fight for their country!!
Yes, 65 years old Ukranian men are brave patriots indeed!
No most Ukraine men ran away..@@Muchoyo
@@bernieb5233 if true, then this makes the “2nd strongest army in the world” look even more pathetic 😂
Putin is not now dealing with PRIGHOZIN , lessons learnt .
How can you dezombified a culture of zombification?!
Occupy them for 70+ year's, hey it worked for Germany so why can't it work for Russia.
@@x_hibernia im feeling a little colonial today.
@@I8igf57jjgxr tell me how many Irish colonial countries are there?
@@x_hibernia can't speak on the Irish but I know some cowboys who wanna preach the ways of country music and Texas BBQ.
@@I8igf57jjgxr the answer is none, so you still feeling colonial today or just BBQ
Putin is doing the same things as Germany did with Stalingrad. Being focused on one thing while other places are being neglected.
