I absolutely love Maj. Gen. Rupert Jones and his heart is in the right place! Slava Ukraini! 💙💛
But his head isn’t.
@@stu281 Yes, that is why he is a General and you are an internet pest.
@@stu281 Yes Generals are well known for not having any intelligence and cannot read anything in a military situation. Someone like you knows so much more. Maybe you should give us all your take ?
@@zulubeatz1 officers above one star rank have to be political so they sing off the same song sheet as their political masters. Maybe that’s why they all write books when they leave.
@@zulubeatz1 Well, all these propaganda generals predicted the huge success of the counteroffensive. I didn't. But hey, they had more data.🤣
It is always most interesting to listen to Major General Rupert Jones. He has such a realistic and level-headed perspective on the situation in Ukraine as well as, with respect to geopolitics, generally. What a pity you cannot have him as your Prime Minister. Incidentally, his criticism of Farage is spot on. I agree, when the music stops, Ukraine should be dominant.
The General seems like he was a leader who was relatable to those under his command.

Go and help them, today. Can you ?
Putin's best strategy is to slowly grind away while fostering western apathy. However, he is impatient so he rocks the boat trying to find quick wins and in so doing spurs Ukraine's friends out of their complacency. It's very amateurish realpolitik.
hes dying he wants to be remembered ....sadly for him he will be remembered as a c^&t
Are you following the Ukrainian war or not this has been the slowest most patient military campaign in history.
@Gotoooooo Slowest yes, patient no. It's slow because Russia fritters away its strength on incompetent gambles. The initial invasion was butchered on almost all axes and then routed. Then they assaulted Mariupol instead of bypassing it, then the same for Bakhmut sparking the drive on Moscow mutiny. They half-assedly tried to turn off the energy grid, resulting in the west providing modern air defense and their navy getting spanked. They changed commanders half a dozen times expecting immediate results. Now in desperation they've turn to DPRK and doing so has brought in SK, and they attacked Kharkiv again which unblocked US congress approval of 65bil aid package and permission to strike targets in Russia with western missiles. Thre are dozens more examples, these are just some highlights. They had every advantage initially. All they had to do was grind, but they want a quick war so they keep rushing in.
@@williamhenry8914 its slow because Ukraine was given weapons with restrictions take away the restrictions and it will be won by ukraine
@@williamhenry8914
Are you following the Ukraine war or not.The slow grinding Russian approach has decimated the largest NATO (american) trained and equipped army in Europe .

Consequently the Ukranians (at the insistence of the americans)are now sending in their young men and women untrained and ill equipped to face the vast industrial military might of the Russian nation.This can only end one way.
Great to hear his insight. He's certainly well versed and able to express himself. One of your best guests. Thanks for your time and effort.
I love these interviews with these Generals, they really know their stuff.
Really ..the first casualty of war is the truth ..have you heard of propaganda

Its WRONG to put restrictions upon someone who defend its self,who been unprovoked attacked..its WRONG in every way,shape and form..you go Ukraine!
Stay strong,united and NEVER give up!

The restrictions are there because they’re using our stuff.
@@theazuzhaters9988 The 'we' were going to decommission and destroy. Stop pretending its such a sacrifice.
foolish person. If that were the case then America would not have sent any weapons because the first tomahawk they get would be aimed at the kremlin and start WW III. Life is more complex than you seem to think and decisions need to be more nuanced.
The Ruzzkies want a peace agreement, so I have one I bet my life Ukraine will accept. Pull out all military and stop their support of the Donetsk and Luhansk separatists. Btw, about the video, an unspecified amount of aid has already reached the battlefield BUT let's say it's 40%. Then by the time the rest trickles in, their new fighter jets will also be in the air AND they'll be getting money from Ruzzie's illegal funds (via interest) as well. Also, to the commander, a big part of why NATO exists was bc of the massive Soviet stockpiles; I'm sure he knows that but didn't mention it. The Ruzzkies have lost about 45-60% of their stockpiled important items, except nukes (which may very well not work). Lastly, the US spends 1.3T annually on defense and intel.
One point which I've only seen mentioned a few times is the reluctance of western Europe to acknowledge that when it comes to things Russian, Poland, Finland, and the Baltics are the experts.
As a former naval officer of 30 odd years l keep an eye on developments in Ukraine with some insight. Jones' analysis is bloody superb and free from the armchair expert opinions that seem to push to the front of the queue these days. l will be keeping an eye out for him from now on. We need to get Ukraine to prevail for a whole lot of reasons that most don't seem to understand.
What do you make of the advent of drone boats in naval warfare?
@@frankstonrat This war, like all wars has forced the rapid development of technology by one side or both. ln particular as a set-piece action with conventional forces vs conventional forces that we haven't seen for a very long time. it really is a 'battle lab' in real time (horrible though that is for those involved). To me, Ukraine has been amazingly adept at battlefield manoeuvre, learning as they go and adapting existing and emerging technologies to their advantage.
'Drone boats' and other remotely operated vehicles are nothing new and have been part of most advanced nations military S&T/R&D efforts for some time, but are generally in my understanding not at the front of capital equipment acquisition. However the fact of the success of Ukraine without a navy to speak of achieving 'Sea Control' (a key element of western maritime doctrine) in the Black Sea with this technology alone is nothing short of astonishing and will be causing a massive rethink amongst all maritime powers. While there will be for the foreseeable a need for capital ships and their escorts in 'bluewater' operations, the success of the Ukrainians in the more littoral environment of the Black Sea, l am sure will have many military planners around the place on the scramble, because their adversaries are watching just as closely.
Sorry about the lengthy reply. Cheers
@@kimbaldunsmore4633 Thanks, very much appreciate the detail of your remarks.
I've been following this at a ground level quite closely. Podcasts from soldiers etc
It doesn't seem anyone can win this war and that Putin will settle for the Donbas
HOLODOMOR, RED TERROR, POLISH LIQUIDATION, MOLOTOV-RIBBONTROP, ETC., ETC., ETC.. Russia is a vampire state.
And the worst thing is. The Russians won't admit any of this
What Putin will do next? Ask, "What would a criminal do?" There's the answer. Russia: criminal regime run by a gangster.
Holodomor???????? That wasn't the Russians, son. That was the Satanic fake small hats...... Nice try shill
Your use of all caps to describe those horrors is forgiven.
The Holodomor was committed by the Bolsheviks... I think you need to figure out who they REALLY were.
Only respect for all the Ukrainians and all helping them to defend their country
lol well they are not defending but attack Donbas since 2014 and now Russia ! (The collective west)..... and they will fail big time

James and Maj. Gen. Rupert Jones, thanks for another very interesting, clear and concise discussion.
Apparently, the day's internet outage is not over in St. Petersburg yet, because the comment section is not yet full of the normal chorus of troll bots that usually fills all comment sections in all videos that are even slightly off topic..
Ha. Ok. Russ can grow wheat 10 feet tall. The pines grow to 300 feet. The sun shines in Moscow all day every day. The tanks run on hot air.

All they have to do is to just go back home to Russia to their families the wars over simple
I doubt any of his successors has political might to withstand against the wave of Russian nationalism if they choose to announce the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine. Therefore, unless Putin is actually pushed to accept peace with a gun at his temple, there will not be peace not from Putin, nor from his successors.

Great reporting here!
Jake Sullivan's fear of escalation does not balance with the danger of not empowering Ukraine with timing, amount, type, and range. How do you convince Jake Sullivan? The retired U.S. military as far as I see is united on turning taps on full according to a pace that Ukraine can integrate these arms.
Sullivan knows the risk is to Europe, who can't /won't defend itself without US help. So, worry less about Sullivan, and more about Europes commitment.

To stay correct: not plus wounded, including wounded.
If people knew their history they would know that Ukraine was a sovereign state long before the rise of the Rus. But people don’t read history any more. History and Science are the most important areas for people to study. Science because we advance and create better societies through innovation and history because if we learn from the past we might find wisdom not to make the same mistakes over and over again.
100% agreement.
How right you are. Most people have no knowledge of history.
Exactly. The earliest mention of Kyiv we have is from 456AD. The earliest of Moscow is 1147AD.
Despite all the bluster to the contrary, Moscovian Rus is the youngest (or close to it) 'Slavic Brother '.
People don't read history in the Western world because it makes them realise what a shower of murderers and thieves we are.
Honestly this argument in itself is absolutely dumb
Even if there was no "historical" Ukraine - ALL states are "ARTIFICIAL", because ALL states are MAN MADE.
Ironically Russia is currently defining the Ukrainian identity, forging it through war and hatred of Russia. Back before 2014 Ukraine had no issue with speaking or "being" Russian.

Artillery shell numbers are not the be all and end all. The M777 Howitzer, as used by the Ukraine military, fires Excalibur shells that have a circular error probable of 5m at a range of 24Km. This means that most targets are destroyed in the first or second shot. Russian artillery is experiencing extensive barrel wear and the shells from North Korea are of indifferent quality. As a result, Russia fires hundreds of shells to achieve what Ukraine can achieve with two Excalibur shells. It will be a long time before the USA is involved in any kind of land battle in which Excalibur shells would have any meaningful effect, so the USA holding them back as an ‘insurance policy’ would be folly when Ukraine is already using them so effectively to degrade the capability of the USA’s greatest potential adversary.
The decision by (most likely) the very top at the kremlin (and not the ru MoD) to open up the Northern Front in kharkiv will go down in History as one of the dumbest decisions ever made.
Much like Germany's decision to open up the Eastern front on June 22nd, 1941.
But just like Germany's Circle of Power in 1941, ru in 2024 is a State which has a smaller and smaller circle of Decision Makers. instead, a bunch of "yes man" more than willing to say... "Yes, My F"! All while bringing pastries for that morning meeting...
D'oh... it has thinned the lines in Donbass
@@Durnyful By opening the (disastrous) Northern Front, ru did this:
1) Quasi doubled their frontlines.
2) Pushed the West to change its Policies for the use of Western weapons within ru. Which is giving the AFU more leeway.

Do you have any guesses why?
@@user-xy7lf1tx1d it's a mistranslation of a russian word that sounds similar. the error has tracks now..
I think a big problem for Ukraine is that they can't really count on their allies to keep the supply's coming on a dependable schedule, so they'll have to stockpile enough to be certain they won't run out mid-offensive.
Which is why long term, stable commitment is key. Some countries have pledged supplies, weapons and ammo at a steady rate for several years into the future. All Ukrainian allies should strive towards doing this. It also sends a strong signal that we are in this for the long run, which may influence Russian decisions regarding fighting; if there is no light at the end of the tunnel they may be less likely to try and outlast the west.
We are happy with Ukraine
Thank you for not using a clickbait title!
Jones is wrong about stockpiles, the USA has massive stockpiles. They are required by law, what has been sent to Ukraine is the %5 overstock. If conditions were met where the USA could release munitions and weapons from main inventory, this would be over in a few months.
Very astute, cogent and logical analysis, that evey layman like me can understand, by a great military leader.

Russian munitions production is exceptionally high however artillery attrition is also quite high. Additionally ... with the United States in the process of retiring its A-10s, wouldn't it be smart to train Ukrainian pilots on the platform?
A10's really need fairly uncontested air space in which to operate effectively. Whilst you can get away with strafing insurgents, which I guess its where most of its reputation came from, entering air space of two nations locking horns it a whole new ball game.

$60 billion is flowing to Ukraine, about 7 billion was for presidential draw-downs, which goes directly to Ukraine. The rest was more indirect, for example for US support forces, replacement equipment for the US, long term orders for Ukraine etc.
So an advancement of no more than 10km anywhere across the front in a year, a gain measured in kilos of meat per metre.
Cool! 👍
Great strategy, eh?
good interview ,thanks
I loved it when Gen Jones described Farage as an apologist for Putin.
My one criticism is, I don't think Farage is ignorant of or naive about history when he calls for negotiation with Putin. He is just utterly cynical and does not care about Ukraine. In a sense, Farage is worse than Trump. I suspect Trump is ignorant - not much of an excuse, but better than being as malign as Farage.
There's a reason almost every country that used to be behind the iron curtain chose to join NATO. Once you've been dominated by Russia you want to ensure that can't happen again.
Countries freely choose to join NATO. None of them freely chose to join the Warsaw Pact, they were forced to. This say everything you need to know. Russia doesn't get to decide whether other countries choose to be independent or join NATO.
Excellent
It is based in a concern about escalation, but not really - it's based around the PUBLIC PERCEPTION of escalation concerns. I think our leaders are as aware as you are that Putin is just blowing smoke. But we folks of the West, who actually have free societies, have to give awareness to public perceptions and reactions.

You mean Vladito Putolini?
I agree with you!
Fidel Putso doesn't CARE about the safety of the Russian Army
What they retaking?
The western strategy is simple: the longer the war lasts, the more Russia is worn down and hollowed out. This will leave them in a weaker position in the world afterwards. For example, Russia recently was forced to form a partnership with N Korea, trading ammunition for technical support and physical goods. This now has resulted in S Korea joining the fight in Ukraine as far as supplying arms. The net result is a weaker position.
Another example: a third of the Russian economy is fossil fuels. The war has caused the West to accelerate the transition to renewable energy and electric vehicles. So after the war they will lose a big part of their foreign income.
Russia is also forced into truly terrible deals with countries like China because of the now limited market for their oil and other resources.
That said, it is truly sad what Russia inflicts on Ukraine (and on itself!), and no matter what the west gains from Russia being declawed and economically wrecked for the foreseeable future, I'm sure most of us would gladly have traded it away if it meant getting Ukraine restored.

Also Trump doesn't like to identify with losers, and by the time of the next inauguration, ruzzia will look more and more like the loser in this illegal, genocidal war that it is.
Further, Pres. Trump has six months to get better educated about Ukraine. I have to hope that he will take the opportunity to do so.
Quack quack
Maj Gen Jones like many others is now dissmissing Russian escalation threat. He says Russia doesnt have red lines but qualifies it with 'never say never'. Strategic defeat of Russis is its red line. It could be a massive bluff but it seems we are now ready to support Ukraine enough to find out, from not losing to winning.
It's a trap
Where on earth do you get the pics of putins face lookng so stressed ???
Some say Putin is winning and others say Putin is losing - wish I knew what is really happening.
Ukraine is winning Putin is a liar 👍
SLAVA UKRAINI 🔱💪🇺🇦🇨🇵🇺🇸🇬🇧✌️
It's a quagmire on par with WWI, complete with trench warfare. It's a stalemate and it's going to stay like this until one side hits the limit and seems to implode all at once. Just keep in mind, this war is the Russians to lose and they're probably going to take the win at the cost of several generations of young men.
The nuclear threats don't tell ya?🤣
Whats happening is that Ukraine lost half of the population and soon will not have any soldiers. Also its economy is complete shut and the moment western billions stop coming it the country will collapse.
You won't learn on this channel😂
Russia making quite big gains on other fronts because they opened Kharkiv front and Ukraine had to move troops.
Who are these so called "experts"?
Where are these "quite big gains" exactly? The Russians have achieved pretty much nothing since the Kharkiv front opened. ln fact they're slowly losing ground there at the moment. Are they claiming otherwise on Russian TV? Is that before or after they celebrate the capture of the same tiny village for the fifth time?

You know Putin is losing when he begged North Korean for help !. Putin the clown !
Begged prove it. Bet you can’t.
@@stu281 What was Shortie to do when he met Fattie if not begging ! Putin the clown !
@@timmyaz7112 learn history then read the agreement between the two. You might learn something apart from having a child’s mind in an adults body.
@@stu281Oh yea? So you mean Putin wasn’t in NK to ask for shells and missles, are you? Then I wonder where the NK missle scraps and NK shells has got there 😂😂😂
Get yourself a culture before insulting others. Oh, wait…you are doing that because your arguments are….zero!
@@stu281 You do know that most of the world regards North Korea as a complete joke and its people are starving ? I know Russia is going that way now too but let's not pretend eh its silly. If you could go anywhere for weapons would you go to North Korea ? Be serious.
The Ukes are well stocked with artillery rounds now.
Rupert admits what the Russian strategy in Kharkiv is, a pinning operation but then says it's failed, even though the Ukrainians sent their best troops to be eliminated in yet another Russian "Meat grinder".
1984 style "double think" 😂
So, Nigel Farage is your tRump.
Democracy is difficult and messy. Please remember that the next time pointing at the USA's tRump.
I despise tRump, but I would fight for his free speech to continue to say what he does. The step in the other direction is just another type of authoritarian government.
There are no easy answers regarding tRump and the pain he is causing. But, there are no easy answers to the politics that led up to tRump's success either.
Your comment would be more persuasive without the childish spelling insult.
Ukraine must be made so powerful that Putin will be afraid to attack because Ukraine's response would be devastating for Russia.
