Useless war...too many innocent people dying because of one crazy dictator.
Been watching a lot of history. It's usually like that.
Putin is not solely to blame.
@@andrewsquire9892 what makes you say that?
@@andrewsquire9892 Who's to blame for this war if not Putin?
@@sidborromeo8409 Agreed!
DPRK troops return to what they do best: parading for the dear leader.
And the Russians should follow the suite ...
North Korea is miles ahead of the West, particularly in the field of cloaking devices.
The invisibility shield they have used is a stunning development in my view.
@@s0ycapitan 😂😂😂 Good one! 🤥 We’re allies with the South Koreans, their technology and military hardware is off the scale, whereas RuZZia’s are just sub-standard junk!
NK will not send more soldiers to Russia anymore? It will weakened Kim jun Un so bad, his control & power... if he sends more military, few of his generals will overthrow him for sure!
@@s0ycapitan ??? invisibility as in they aren't there!
Slava Ukraine, respect from Manchester :)
He IS mad enough to continue fighting.....narcissists dont have a place for failure . It simply doesn't exist .
If he surrendered he will be put on trial for war crimes
The DPRK "gunfodder" troopers are eating better as "meat shields" than they did as farmers.
Do you know the difference between a N Korean farmer and a pizza? The pizza can feed the whole family.
@rogerrussell9544 sad but true 😢
Many NK went blind when they discovered the internet.
With hairy palms.
This is the cheekiest comment I've seen in awhile. Well done
Well they are only human, after all.
🤘😜
😵
Wow the Russian bots are strong in this comments section today, pretty much the only thing Putin has left 😂😂😂😂
He has the SU-57 and the Armata tank, somewhere. 🤣
@@sprre3899 Well, the Su-57 that was shot down last year in Ukrainian territory proved not to be fifth generation. It had no composites and a radar signature one thousand times that of an F-35. As for the T-14 Armata, supposedly 14 of them made it to the battle field. I have seen zero reports of any engagements. The one T-14 that showed up for the 2023 May 9 Celebration broke down at the rehearsal and had to be towed away. Faulty transmission.
Keep believing your MSM BS narrative, fear fear fear is for the weakest of minds!
He’s reliant on Iranian help, the North Koreans and the Krembots for a war he planned and started. How weak does that look to the world for a country once considered a superpower who are actually just a superflower!
@@Nstill8567 no Russian bots , I do see people being more informed than others though.
My money is still on Ukraine. You can win a thousand battles and still lose a war. The US won every battle in Vietnam and still lost. The British Empire won most of the battles in the revolutionary war and still lost. The very fact that Ukraine is still in the war 3 years after they were given 3 days is heroic. They have at the very least, avoided a repeat of the 1917 -21 war against the Bolsheviks. By that metric they have already won. Yes Russia is advancing and losing too many soldiers to keep up with for long. Russia can not afford another mobilisation while Ukraine could. Another issue is equipment. Russia is haemorrhaging equipment while Ukraine doesn't have enough due to a lock of real commitment by supporting countries. If Ukraine was fully supplied with equipment Russia would be removed from all Ukrainian territory quite quickly. Maybe in as short of 6 months. The only reason the war has gone on so long is a lack of equipment for the Ukrainians and hesitation by the countries supporting Ukraine.
Ukraine can solve this in 6 months. Nigeria is a country of 200 million with an average age of 19. Make a deal with that African country.
After the war help bring Nigeria to the first World.
Agreed. Western countries are struggling with ramping up manufacturing.
I wonder why we don't hear anything about the F-16s supplied to Ukraine. I realize this is mostly a ground war of attrition but it was talked as though these aircraft would be a game changer. Yet the only news (I've seen) is early on one was lost along with the pilot.
@@MikeNaples American propaganda has alot todo with this mismatch between what is advertised and what actually happens.
America touted its effort in Ukraine as Lend-Lease but of course it pales in comparison to the Lend lease of WW2.
They are constantly raising attention for systems such as Javelin, Abrams, Bradley and Patriot. However only the Bradleys
were supplied in enough numbers to be worth a mention. As for the F16's, note the United States has not provided or led the effort
to provide these fighter jets. So the weapon system is in Ukraine but in name only.
For years the US has devoted astronomical sums to protect from the great Russian army. Now here comes Ukraine obliterating the paper tiger
on the cheap. It is not certain the Americans are fully on board with the idea of Ukraine eliminating the Russian threat.
@@jeffPeters-ue8wi More kremlin troll nonsense.
This madness needs to end. Europe needs to get their act together and stop living in the past.
Crazy, dangerous, world.
Why can’t we just live in peace on this amazingly beautiful, wonderful, planet? Or is that idea too extreme? 🌍🕊️❤

I don't disagree with you but with what army? It takes years to build up.... EU needs to do that first...
@@hertzollnerno! All of Europe has well over 5 million troops
Europeans should go and help Ukraine. If not, the Baltic status are next and then the rest of Europe....in our own interest to help. No more fear for the devil!

No, lol, Putin will stop at Ukraine
@@DavidEdwards-e6m How can you tell this??
If he does not than why not go all in now before it comes here
Agreed
@@DavidEdwards-e6m The official Russian social media accounts are constantly stating things like 'Estonia is not a real country' and so on. He has no intention of stopping.
They were thrown in as cannon fodder
Russia is pathetic. Imagine if it was up against Finland and Poland at this point.
Yup
It would be obliterated if NATO combined Went in together it would be a walk over they wouldn't have any other way to stop NATO other than using nuclear weapons in some form or another sorry but I'm just being truthful about it because they will have no other choice then to use them as an country that has nuclear weapons world do the same as Russia so please don't let's cross that line as there's no way back from that and I really don't want to see that happen ever please
Indeed! Europe would easily outgun Russia, even without Nato.
The EU should opt for its own defense force. We have two nuclear powers in Britain and France and ground armies of Poland, and Germany for starters, would be more than a match for Putin's Pressed mob.
@@McDuggets Ukraine is the superior army in Europe. Poland and Finland watch and learn
@@lanceg136 Yeah after 3 years of war of course it is, i meant that if from the start it would have been against poland and finland the situation would be very different
No, No peace until Putin is gone. whatever it takes.
I feel the same about trump. His brain is mush.
Total wrong assessment. Russia is losing on all fronts. Militarily, economically and politically.
I agree. Russia can not win ,there army will collapse without trained troops and extremely poor logistics . 🇦🇺Vet
But they've been saying they're losing for 2.5 years...
They are. But you should never ever underestimate the Russian collective capacity for enduring physical, economic and mental pain.
Russia is NOT a normal country. The government is in no way accountable to the public because public disent has been utterly and ruthlessly crushed.
This war will go on until Putin either dies, thinks he has won or is forced to stop by external forces.
@@benndanny12They've been saying they're winning for the last 3 years, 3 days turned into 3 years so far 😂
@@benndanny12losing what? Special military operation?
Putin Give up STOP you maniac
Putin should have the intelligence to step down as President & enjoy retirement while he can. Unfortunately as with all dictators they become megalomaniacs & can't stop themselves. The Russian people deserve better & are being made to look ridiculous in front of the whole world. Surely Russia can find a better leader that can help repair the damage Putin has caused & make life better for everyone as this war has cost the lives of far too many young people on both sides already!
🇬🇧❤🇺🇦🇬🇧❤🇺🇦🇬🇧❤🇺🇦🇬🇧❤🇺🇦🇬🇧❤🇺🇦
Finding out what North Korea is doing should dictate if the war will end. I think it’s a good sign they are pulling back regardless of what Russia is saying.
I have always thought that Putin's ploy to involve North Korean troops was a grave mistake. Imagine, allowing ;the NK troops to see unfiltered commentary on the internet! what was Putin thinking? And it was a wonderful opportunity for the west to claim that Putin was desperate for more cannon fodder. Nobody wants to be cannon fodder!
God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
But he didn’t now did he.
@@dukeallen432he did by giving Ukraine the resolute fighting spirit they clearly possess
I feel for the North Korean soldiers families. I hear that they punish generations of families for a persons wrong doings.
Great opportunity for them to break the generational cycle by surrendering to Ukraine who will give them asylum.
I think Putin's reliable sources of cannon fodder are drying up. Recruitment of volunteers in the Moscow area is down 80%, most volunteers travelled to Moscow to sign up as it pays the highest bonuses and the bonuses get smaller as you move away. Instead of 200/250 volunteers a day it is now 40 to 50. If Putin mobilizes more men on top of national service more questions are going to be asked by a tired and weary public who are seeing their economy going downhill at an accelerated rate.
Then he uses the unreliable as cannon fodders and then he uses the immigrants from Ukraine as cannon fodders
@@ColinThomas-m2l where did you hear that? Please post your sources as that’s not what I have heard .
@@projectedone look it up yourself or are you blocked in your country
@@projectedoneIvan you are brainwashed😫
@ no I’m not in the uk at moment so have access to everything . But I don’t see that recruitment is down. Did you perhaps hear that from a Ukranian source? In which case take it with a pinch of salt.
Did they stop because it's been at least 24 hours since Trump said he'd fix it in that time.
😂😂😂
Felt uncomfortable with the term “innocent Russian soldiers” I know they was a small clarification but any solider invading another country can’t be classified as innocent.
If they are conscripts what choice do they have?
@@Paul1510WBthe choice of hiding
That's a complete load of bull. People like you take everything for granted.
Most Russians are no different to Joe Average on any street anywhere in the world, but feed them propaganda and associated BS................................
Well-travelled Russians realise that Putin is talking BS - the West has less than zero designs on former Soviet territory of the current Russian federation, but that well-travelled proportion of Russians is so close to 0%, simply due to population size, as makes no difference.
I'm not saying all of them innocent but the majority are just scared boys like you would be if you were forced into this conflict.
..as North Korean troops decided to stop being slaughtered....
Thank you for putting out informative interviews like this.
We, the democracy-loving people across the pond, need you today and we’re going to need you more and more with each passing month as our remaining accurate and independent journalists are suppressed and large news bureau’s billionaire owners capitulate and fire their honest employees and replace them with unqualified non-journalists who only feed us “ only “state” propaganda. The writing’s on the wall, in terms of honest journalism and press freedom, the powers in control right now in DC have are aping Orbán’s moves in Hungary on their once free press.
1,500 a day means 6,000 people back home experiencing terrible loss. Eventually the cumulative effect will impact hard.
Build an American Military base in Ukraine.
No.
And when it’s all said, and fine nobody wins senseless
At which point will China see the wide open Siberian countryside as something they can’t ignore or will Putin sell them the land in exchange for $ or materials is there a 3rd option?
Serious question, let me know!
People don't tend to expand into lands their ancestors migrated from successfully. Besides China keeps obsessing about Taiwan
@charlesburgoyne-probyn6044 You mean when tge Soviets occupied Upper Manchuria in 45-46 after the Japanese had taken it from the Chinese in the outset of WWII? Or how any native clan or tribe has fought for years or decades to reclaim land and territories that was taken from them?
Thanks for your comment, you really helped the algorithm gain more traction to this video. 👍
@@charlesburgoyne-probyn6044 yeah but Taiwan doesn't have the vast resources that Siberia has
There hasn't much English settlement in Germany despite coming from their in the 5th and 6th centuries yet would go to venture further afield
Taiwan is a another China and in Chinese identity there can only be one China the unity of China comes first. Russian far east doesn't infringe on the unity of China principle Taiwan does
Sounds like the NKoreans have abandoned the fight
I am Russian, and many RUSSIAN have abandoned fight! But u do not hear of it in medias, government of my russia hide it
How can they abandon the fight when they were never there!
MSM BS narrative!
@jasonkloot1364 Krembot detected! Never there, one of the worst lies coming out of the RuZZian Beg A Nation! Are they not using Iranian Shahed drones either number 1364? Complete RuZZlies, Dictator VP had to call the North Koreans in as RuZZia can’t even defend their own borders they’re that weak!
@jasonkloot1364 so the nk's captured aren't real??? lololololol
@jasonkloot1364Tin foil malfunction Ivan?
DPRK troops are cheaper by the thousand. If Kim is holding out on replenishments, its more likely due to payment issues and not Kim's concern for his troops.
Sorry, but Pokrowsk has lost its strategic importance since a long time. It‘s not usable as logistic hub for Ukraine since weeks. It will be just another ghost town when the Russians get in.
@@kappenmann12 the Russians are just serf's being killed on the wim of a little monster
How can the mafia army advance fast without having the proper vehicles available? In Honka cars? That's completely out of the question. It's game over for the mafia army.
Boys are the latest gamechanger.😊
Are the NK done planting potatoes? They grow potatoes but only get a small ration of rice daily.😊
I think heaven forbid if the Russian’s should have a major break through the Poles would be straight in with or without NATO’s approval. Poland in next in line and history has taught them to take the fight to the Russians aggressively.
I'd say that's more of a boon than anything. A liability has been removed from the battlefield.
Ukraine has to aim to follow the example of Finland. Accept the loss of some territory in order to ensure independence. There is always another day as the story of Finland since 1945 shows.
Who’s is this guy he’s cool
Aweeeee…. come back and play!
I do feel pity for the NK troops as they are essentially helpless.
Their training is now completed.
Huge leader is completely full, mostly.
NATO is doing zero in terms of air support for Ukraine. Disgraceful.
@@paulmitchell5349 S 550 satellite killer. That's why there is no air support

They didn't stop fighting. They just fight their OWN team out of ignorance and poor training
Even worse 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent points from the gentleman. Thank you 💛 Times Radio for your report today. Much appreciated Sir.
Some 100,000 reported AWOL.😊
100,000 who?
100,000 Krembots have gone AWOL as they know they are also losing the social media war and nobody outside of Gulag RuZZia is listening to them!
This guy theorizes that Putin is willing and able to keep on throwing more of his people into the meat grinder as a way of showing the rest if the world that he's crazy enough to keep on going with this war, and that he can do so bc Russia has such a large number of people. But consider four trends that have emerged over the course of the war: 1. Russian armored vehicle quantities and quality have been declining, forcing them to use fewer vehicles, causing casualty rates to rise and per-soldier battlefield effect to drop. 2. New soldiers have become less well-trained, also contributing to the same effects. 3. Per-soldier contract prices have risen. 4. Russian inflation has risen and overall economic prospects have been worsening. Multiply those four factors together and you get increased cost per soldier, diminishing returns per soldier, and an accelerating approach to financial collapse. No matter how crazy its leader is, when money runs out and no more credit can be acquired, that country's war effort is over bc their war machine has run out of gas.
1500/day? Sounds implausibly
That number has been accepted as reasonably accurate by multiple intelligence agencies, using multiple sources.
Beats the ridiculous drivel coming from the Kremlin.
Imagine being lucky enough in life to be captured by Ukrainian as a North Korean. That man’s entire life will change. He will have a life now.
Providing a meat shield for Russians isn't exactly fighting.
At 11:50 Donald Trump's staff are now saying that their intervention in the war will take "100 days, or 6 months"
When I was at school, it was generally recognised that an average month was about 30 days, so six of them would be rather more than 100 days - but one way or another, it seems to have slipped somewhat from 24 hours to 100 days, or possibly 6 months (which is almost twice "100 days") - but rest assured, when the war has continued for 6 moths after Donald Trump's inauguration, he will come up with a different story to show how he vanquished his enemies, and all his followers will raise a great cheer for the mighty Donald, although in reality, nothing has happened.
I have seen reports on line of 25-30 % casulaties. Its un likely we will know the real amount...
Putin was trying to use them as a stop gap but it backfired
😂😂😂😂 PUTIN 😂😂😂😂
I'm thinking if I'm DPRK, I would defect to Ukraine...provided I had no family back in North Korea.
Should be called it.....the drone war.
I'm confused.. I thought Kim could just send as many as he wants to die in the war.. He could send 100k,500k without any problem
Putin can no longer afford that many,after all what’s he going to pay for them? More and more of his increasingly worthless money?
He probably could, but I'm thinking the word will get out on how tough war really is, how many die, how they are not trained for modern warfare, how technology is way beyond what they have or knew about, etc.
Yes but putin has run out of money
North Korean troops aren’t prepared? Shocking that their military is all show.
Wow mate what a good story the koreans were never there ,but british mercenaries were
They are starting to show up again
God Bless 🙏🙏🙏 Ukraine with Victory and Justice ⚖️⚖️⚖️
Putin could surrender unconditionally. Didn't he think of that ? Ukraine will never surrender .
Tired of being used as cannon fodder! Kim Jong missed them boosting his ego!
Putin's "sunk cost fallacy" taken to the most inhuman level.
❤Ukraine ❤
Couldn’t this just be a troop rotation?
I didn't know you can read Putin's mind 😂😂😂
Why are Russians in trouble? They have a lot of manpower by themselves. North Korean weapons and ammo is more important to them than troops, I would suggest.
Trust me bro
Thank you ,” The Times Radio “ for the update … 💙💛💙
If Nort Korean join Russia why can't other countries join Ukraine?
Russia isn't making any advances.
Oh that was too real. As Buckley once said
The Europeans are a group of fantastically wealthy countries. If they don't want Ukraine to fall there is an easy solution. Let them allocate massive amounts of capital to defending Ukraine. Of course that would require some belt tightening in their social welfare states. Something apparently unacceptable to the European populations. In fact, for starters why don't the Europeans stop sending $1 billion in hard currency a day to Russia in return for natural gas. The Europeans failed in building and maintaining strong military forces. They have created vast welfare states rather than invest in their own defense. Rather than beg the US for more aid to Ukraine, they can spend more on their military. The US is no longer willing to support freeloaders around the world.
As a european, I agree. Why does france send only old mirage 2000 instead of the awesome Rafales? Why doesn’t send germany the taurus missile, ingeneering at its best? Why is Switzerland „neutral“ when it’s about european security?
I cannot understand this Cowardice
@@kappenmann12 As an Irish citizen I agree. Ireland also has a neutral policy. Ireland is decommissioning a navy ship that I’m sure Ukraine could use. There are also anti tank weapons that are near the end of life.
The US never had to support any "freeloaders", it has always acted in it's own interests.
European pay more per person than the USA. If you renege on your promises you alienate your friends and become weaker.
There is some sense in that. Europe could easily go it alone and with two nuclear powers with armed submarines, in Britain and France, plus massive potential for Armies and indeed Navies, in both Germany and Poland, plus the potential in Sweden and Finland, Putin would be outgunned.
Trump doesn't like Europe and the feeling is mutual.
Time for a separation!
Crazy war
Putin must be contemplating if he deal with North Korea was worth it.
Well, I guess the meat market is closed.
Really....??
😮
The comparison with the end of WW1 is completely wrong 1). After the mass sprinf offensive in 1918 the german army was wasted 2). the home front in germany was collapsing hunger riots, naval mutiny, and complete loss of morale of the german troops all culminated in the fall/autumn of 1918 just as the allies started their offensive. Get your historic parallels right.
Slava America. We get to keep our money now!
There’s nothing supporting claims of DPRK troops being removed from front lines. This is very possibly just normal troop rotations.
Doubt that..they're not that smart.
@ The Russians? They’ve been rotating troops from the start.,
really
Inocent ruzzian soldiers?? You lost me.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦
lol you guys were saying the ruble was on a decline and talking sanctions for over 2 years now... stop.
like iran always being weeks away from having a nuclear weapon since 1995.
9:00 calling the UK av"heavyweight spender in NATO" is laughable. Guys haven't truly taken defense spending seriously since the cold war
I think it is a week argument, that the western Powers would think Putin mad
I would not trust a Trump promise as far as I could throw him and that would not be very far.

Has anyone told President Putin about The 1917 Miracle of the sun wher our lady gave 3 children 3 messages and then performed the Miracle of the Sun .
Great reporting. Great interview with Dr Shea.
This commentator I thought was over optimistic about Russias gains & prospects….it can’t sustain its losses. Period. Yes Ukraine has been suffering…but they’ve got everything to keep fighting for.
This guy is not in touch .
Russian military commanders consider the lives of their personnel to be as disposable as toilet paper, but of far less value!
They consider the lives of their North Korean automatons to be of no value whatsoever!
The wildlife in the front line areas associate the detonation of the Kamikaze Drones and Bomber Drones munitions to be their dinner bell.
It usually means their food has already been shredded into bite sized portions, anything left is fertiliser for the soil.
Happily, they know that the breakfast bell will soon ring to signify a fresh food delivery...
times media have just been taken to court in the UK for misinformation, so i think i'd skip this one
