Rupert’s is “H” Jones’s son the famous Lt Colonel of 2 Para at Goose Green who got killed trying to jeer up the lads when the attack came to a standstill. Few years ago I went along to small military museum at Holyhead Anglesea. His dress uniform was on display. I think he was awarded the VC for his heroism. Once the CO went down it got the lads moving again. A battalion strength of 649 men trying to take a force of 3000 Argentina’s amazing feat of arms. Spared on by H jones bravery! I’m sure that’s why Rupert followed his footsteps as a soldier!
@ always good to listen to listen all points of view. Leadership is about inspiring your men when the going gets tough tough! Not like the Russians who waste their soldiers. However they’re not trained soldiers they’re civilians in uniform. As ex paratrooper myself it takes at least 2 years to become a professional soldier. Soldiering is mind set.

Amazing discussion, I always enjoyed the interviews of Times radio, and look how this unfolding conflicts around the world is going to end, much appreciated All the Times Radio Team. Thanks.
Russia doesn’t have much usable equipment left but they can still carry on as their economy is a war economy. The war ending will send their economy into a freefall. Ironically the war stopping will hurt them more than it continuing
It's running out. Covert Cabal has been buying high rez sat images of Russian bases and they are running out of stuff to send to war. Entire bases are empty.
We are slowly seeing a shift in the war. Putin has decreased the payouts for soldiers getting disabled by 30 times indicating the kremlin is running out of money. Putin has closed the stock exchange indicating a big inflation problem. Gazprom is making a loss thus unable to fund this special military operation for much more than a year longer. The biggest housing developer in Russia has gone bankrupt. Mortgage rates in Russia are at 30% making it extremely unaffordable for ordinary people to afford housing thus homelessness will rise for decades to follow. This will put a strain on the economy. Putin has not mobilized more troops despite him obviously wanting to, there are not enough people to build the ammo, he needs people to build military equipment too - this is why we are seeing North Korean equipment and troops arriving now. It's just a sign that Russia is struggling. How much longer can the ordinary russian not able to afford their rent or food to continue supporting this pointless war. Lets not forget there is nothing existential about it. It's just pure fun for Russians to believe this war is a good idea. What is existential to their survival is putting an end to this war. That is a losing strategy however you want to frame it. But most importantly, for the first time this month we are seeing a real shift on the battlefield. No longer are Russia able to send dozens of tanks in to attacks. They have run out of MLRS systems too so are relying on older less efficient artillery systems. Russia will grind on, but instead of turning the front to rubble and then rolling in to stick a flag on some totally destroyed bricks they are having to send infantry in to attack without as much air and artillery support as they were able to up till now. Losses have increased by 50% for Russia in the past month as a result. They are still grinding on but people are needed to run the economy and they cannot continue for ever, we are seeing the shift by now. Of course new tanks are being built every day still so a handful of tanks will still be sent to the front every day but nothing like the numbers we have seen in the past. I totally agree the times do talk a lot when nothing new is there to be reported on but putins propaganda is being unravelled every day and people are slowly starting to realize what a monumental failure this entire operation has turned out to be and the catastrophic price ordinary russians will be paying for decades to come.
Dear Russians, for your sake (all of our sakes) if there is even the smallest chance your leader would raise nuclear warfare upon ANYONE, then it is time to take matters into your own hands…

Why wouldn't Ukraine expect to get all of its sovereign territory back? Not to do so would mean that the rest of the world 1) Does not take seriously any internationally recognized borders. 2) Shows its inability to honour any agreements previously made to protect Ukraine in case of an attack, and 3) admit Ruzzia's superiority when it is pitted against both US and Europe. Is that how history will judge the West and is the West OK with that?
GEN Jones gave a good analysis at an overview level. He did not do a NATO quality AAR (After Action Review) even for a public consumption level. This is sad because it omits the issues driving towards a peace plan or cease fire plan. The AAR part can find HUGE faults on both Ukrainian and Russian Military Commands. Let me analyze Ukrainian then Russian mistakes. Ukrainian Military Command did NOTHING to prepare for an attack from Crimea. This is an Organizational failure of both political and military Leaders. Every Oblast in Ukraine needs a National Guard. In Kherson Oblast, for example, Kherson City and Melitopol can both support Brigade Commands each with 4 Battalions of 4 Companies. After 2014, the Federal Military should have put another Brigade on the Crimean border with a Division Command in Melitopol to supervise the National Guard Brigades if federalized. A barrier border of water obstacles, minefields, and trench networks should have been built in layers from the border to Melitopol, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, and the 3 bridges across the Dnipro River. This was a huge failure. The Ukrainian Military did allow US/UK/Canadian Advisors train up the Ukrainian NCO Corps to NATO quality while dropping all Soviet training habits. This helped at the Squad and Platoon Levels and positively impacted some Company Level Operations. The Officer Corps was NOT trained up to NATO quality. Right now Ukraine has about 12-15 Brigade Commanders who can successfully fight on Defense. Of these, only 4-5 can also fight Offense Operations. Worst, there are NO Commanders or Staff at Division or Corps Level required to conduct successful Offensive Operations to scale. This is all on GEN Zaluzhny’s Leadership failures. He had 3 years to organize the Ukrainian Military in Defense preparations in depth and did virtually nothing. He had no training plan for Units in western Ukraine to reorganize into NATO Unit Organization. He could have simultaneously started training the Officers of these Inits in NATO schemes of maneuver and combat. Only now under GEN Syrskyi is this occurring with his new Brigades filled with successful battle tested Officers and NCOs. Russian Military Command failures are beyond comprehension. The 3 most glaring failures are all about knowing what to avoid. For example, Russia is a Chess Master country. Chess success usually involves controlling the center of the board. If applied to the Ukrainian battlefield, this means capturing Dnipro City and Zaporizhzhia City were critical Objectives. But Russians did not follow chess logic in their attacks. Russians diluted the Combat Force on multiple fronts. They expected a Prague Spring Operation and got a Finnish Winter War Operation. This was avoidable. The 2 other Russian failures all relate to the 1ST failure. At Mariupol, the Russians wasted many Units for many months trying to completely conquer this City. Why? It takes far less Units to control escape from Mariupol, while the Main Force bypasses to head to Dnipro City. Likewise, Russians diverted their main attack from Crimea to capture Kherson City which was dependent on 3 critical bridges for supplies. Only a token force of a few Units should have been risked to capture Kherson City. The main push should have been to capture Zaporizhzhia City. If I were President Zelensky, I would agree to a land bridge to Crimea, if Kursk territory could be exchanged for a corridor to Melitopol. Additionally, any Ukrainians in Occupied Ukraine must be allowed free passage to Ukraine controlled territory if they want to move.
Ukraine is so brilliant and Russia so poor that Z is begging for NATO to do the fighting for him. Get real TR and start talking to experts who are not paid to tell you what you want to hear.
His proposal is all over the internet and if taken at face value, shows a severe lack of understanding of the situational realities within the geopolitical context.
You'd think that Russians trust the English and Americans. They've always lied, are lying and will continue to lie. Trust them, but don't respect yourself.
Trump will do what putin tells him to. He has recently sent his emissary tuck carlson to Moscow to get advice from Lavrov. When tuck carlson returns trump will run it past Elonia Musk.
Trump loves his new friend Elonia. "People are telling me Melania has a great body Ivanka has a fine body all the women around you have great bodies. But Elonia, she has a great body. The best. They're all telling me Elonia's got the best body, the body of 20-year old stripper. 16-years old. Flexible. When she bends over. So hot. So flexible. We like that. So flexible. My friend Vladimir. He thinks she's hot. I said Vladimir I'll send you an Elonia we have many Elonias in the US. So flexible. He likes that. He respects me. Russia is the greatest country on Earth. Great women. Great women. They have many Elonias."
For a hopeless army Russia is doing pretty well ! The fact is Russia is winning militarily - look at South Donetsk. The tactical successes here are part of a well thought out strategy. The tactics themselves seem to be well thought through. There is no reason to suppose European NATO armies would fare any better. The arrogance of this man is unbelievable.
"A well thought strategy" out and "tactics seem to be well thought out" = Russian meat assaults at a huge hardware and personnel losses for slow and relatively small gains. Russia has shown itself to be militarily less than 3rd rate.

Doesn't look to me like hes failing? He's losing a LOT of soldiers but does he care?
Don't hear much about the N.K. army is there any in Russia,?
interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forgot to click the button. Fixed now! Thumbed up!
If only Putin could run Russia as well as he's run the US...
They will always FAIL😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I gave this one a thumbs up purely because of the vatnik salt in the comments. I thrive on your salt.
You do understand what a Vatnik is and why the Russian people take the term as a compliment?

@ The same thing has happened to me a lot.
Whether your reply was in agreeance or disagreement thank you for taking the time to reply.
GEN Jones gave a good analysis at an overview level. He did not do a NATO quality AAR (After Action Review) even for a public consumption level. This is sad because it omits the issues driving towards a peace plan or cease fire plan.
The AAR part can find HUGE faults on both Ukrainian and Russian Military Commands. Let me analyze Ukrainian then Russian mistakes.
Ukrainian Military Command did NOTHING to prepare for an attack from Crimea. This is an Organizational failure of both political and military Leaders. Every Oblast in Ukraine needs a National Guard. In Kherson Oblast, for example, Kherson City and Melitopol can both support Brigade Commands each with 4 Battalions of 4 Companies. After 2014, the Federal Military should have put another Brigade on the Crimean border with a Division Command in Melitopol to supervise the National Guard Brigades if federalized. A barrier border of water obstacles, minefields, and trench networks should have been built in layers from the border to Melitopol, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, and the 3 bridges across the Dnipro River. This was a huge failure.
The Ukrainian Military did allow US/UK/Canadian Advisors train up the Ukrainian NCO Corps to NATO quality while dropping all Soviet training habits. This helped at the Squad and Platoon Levels and positively impacted some Company Level Operations.
The Officer Corps was NOT trained up to NATO quality. Right now Ukraine has about 12-15 Brigade Commanders who can successfully fight on Defense. Of these, only 4-5 can also fight Offense Operations. Worst, there are NO Commanders or Staff at Division or Corps Level required to conduct successful Offensive Operations to scale.
This is all on GEN Zaluzhny’s Leadership failures. He had 3 years to organize the Ukrainian Military in Defense preparations in depth and did virtually nothing. He had no training plan for Units in western Ukraine to reorganize into NATO Unit Organization. He could have simultaneously started training the Officers of these Inits in NATO schemes of maneuver and combat. Only now under GEN Syrskyi is this occurring with his new Brigades filled with successful battle tested Officers and NCOs.
Russian Military Command failures are beyond comprehension. The 3 most glaring failures are all about knowing what to avoid. For example, Russia is a Chess Master country. Chess success usually involves controlling the center of the board. If applied to the Ukrainian battlefield, this means capturing Dnipro City and Zaporizhzhia City were critical Objectives. But Russians did not follow chess logic in their attacks. Russians diluted the Combat Force on multiple fronts. They expected a Prague Spring Operation and got a Finnish Winter War Operation. This was avoidable.
The 2 other Russian failures all relate to the 1ST failure. At Mariupol, the Russians wasted many Units for many months trying to completely conquer this City. Why? It takes far less Units to control escape from Mariupol, while the Main Force bypasses to head to Dnipro City.
Likewise, Russians diverted their main attack from Crimea to capture Kherson City which was dependent on 3 critical bridges for supplies. Only a token force of a few Units should have been risked to capture Kherson City. The main push should have been to capture Zaporizhzhia City.
If I were President Zelensky, I would agree to a land bridge to Crimea, if Kursk territory could be exchanged for a corridor to Melitopol. Additionally, any Ukrainians in Occupied Ukraine must be allowed free passage to Ukraine controlled territory if they want to move.
Is this the Russia which gained about 1200 sq km in November? Or a different Russia?
Oh 47 doesn't like ppl laughing at him
🤣🤣🤣 Give me a break
Ppl laughing at him and the us as a whole
Ukraine is so brilliant and Russia so poor that Z is begging for NATO to do the fighting for him. Get real TR and start talking to experts who are not paid to tell you what you want to hear.
North Koreans are actually doing the fighting for Russia. 🤣
Crimea is vital. What would happen there??
Why is Crimea vital?
>>> WRONG TITEL
Who the heck is Pjutin?
Elephant in the room is what dirt Putin has on Trump that will be used to control him. 14:24
Yeah probably the body count is watched for the history of Afghanistan and civilian opposition by soldiers fams
Guys I’m pro Ukraine but stop the propaganda. Ukraine is losing ground every day. Better send them help rather than nice words
The Blaggard of Bakhmut is back to sow more silly nonsense.
Leave it out, Rupert. You are a joke.
Declaret anch OBLIGUE Putin and DIFERENTS direction perch in Ukraine 🇺🇦 creativity in Russia 🇷🇺 DESARME 🙏🎆💯
Sounds like this guy “knows” “a lot” 😅
Come on, its not Russia vs Ukrainian is it ?
It's North Korea and Iran versus Ukraine. Putin's just Kim and Pezeshkian's proxy. Their willing idiot, so to speak.
Tactics and opinions are like arseholes everyone’s got one. From Generals down 😂😂😂
Who are these experts you keep finding that seem to not know a single thing about the war
Your dealer is the best in UK 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Straight from Afganistan 😁😁😁😁
Unlike yours and he's right out of copium 😂
Nord 2, Nord 2, embolden Putin, embolden Putin. 2018, 2018.
Now what will Trump do to save us, from the blood YOU'VE caused?
Hello bot. You keep getting stuck in loops. Please get your programmer to fix it.
General Kellogg is making the correct notes regarding support for Ukraine
Fox news yesterday the general said pretty much don't trust Russia
His proposal is all over the internet and if taken at face value, shows a severe lack of understanding of the situational realities within the geopolitical context.
You'd think that Russians trust the English and Americans. They've always lied, are lying and will continue to lie. Trust them, but don't respect yourself.
@@marisabenson1222 "situational realities could within the geopolitical context". Very nice. Why use one word when you can use seven?
lol…wishful thinking.
So Ukraine is winning? Don't make me laugh!
His nightmare was when he looked in the mirror
His parents' nightmare was when they realised they had thrown the baby away and raised the afterbirth.
Wow I thought propaganda was bad in American, in UK it's basically tabloid news.
More nonsense. Who is paying you?
Trump will do what putin tells him to. He has recently sent his emissary tuck carlson to Moscow to get advice from Lavrov. When tuck carlson returns trump will run it past Elonia Musk.
Trump loves his new friend Elonia. "People are telling me Melania has a great body Ivanka has a fine body all the women around you have great bodies. But Elonia, she has a great body. The best. They're all telling me Elonia's got the best body, the body of 20-year old stripper. 16-years old. Flexible. When she bends over. So hot. So flexible. We like that. So flexible. My friend Vladimir. He thinks she's hot. I said Vladimir I'll send you an Elonia we have many Elonias in the US. So flexible. He likes that. He respects me. Russia is the greatest country on Earth. Great women. Great women. They have many Elonias."
Tucker Carlson is Moscow stirring it up again, saying biden is bombing russia ,
Musk is the problem he's telling trump who to choose for his cabinet
For a hopeless army Russia is doing pretty well ! The fact is Russia is winning militarily - look at South Donetsk. The tactical successes here are part of a well thought out strategy. The tactics themselves seem to be well thought through. There is no reason to suppose European NATO armies would fare any better. The arrogance of this man is unbelievable.
"A well thought strategy" out and "tactics seem to be well thought out" = Russian meat assaults at a huge hardware and personnel losses for slow and relatively small gains. Russia has shown itself to be militarily less than 3rd rate.
Times Radio is better than any current, or past UK daily comic for a great laugh, who writes this daily anti-Russian absolute bilge?
Fecking hilarious!!!!
Busy in the troll farm tonight 😂👍
@Brit_Toolmaker Yeah, what 'Troll farm' is that, Pleb?
I bet your one of the fawning Times Radio Plebs, who actually believes their daily anti-Russian &
anti-Putin bilge?
🤔🙄😂
@@jeffreybresnahan I agree about the constant Putin hate. They even say Putin is terminally ill. Nothing could be further from the truth. Putin wears extremely tight lingerie under his suit! You would have difficulty walking, tremble with pain, and have trouble breathing if you had it strapped down as tight as Putin does. Every day! He is a Russian Hero!
wishful analysis Russia can't do this and that, you have been trying with all your mighty to try to dislodge the Ruskies for 2 years and also telling a lot of tales about weak Russia yet they keep advancing and you keep retreating
Boring. Lots of blah-blah-blah, and no substance.
❤❤❤ GOD IS IN CONTROL IN JESUS NAME AMEN. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
😂😂😂
"GOD IS IN CONTROL"
That explains a lot.
I wondered who to blame.
Cheers.
lol.....pure propagandist garbage.
The ramblings and tangents are so unworthy! Stop the BS and answer the questions. Otherwise, don't post this BS. Time is of the essence and our view time is limited.
Who is this uneducated guy who talks about Pew Tin. Who is Pewtin? There's no president anywhere in Europe with such a name. If this guy is talking about the Ukraine war it's surprising he doesn't even mention President Putin.
My daily dose of laughter and delusional thinking...I ant wait to hear about the Russian loses . This has always been the opening remarks
In your mind Putin is more powerful than ever correct? Ignore all the destroyed armor and men?
Ur all dreaming on this channel
Just as with US election coverage etc, I enjoy watching people who stick with their delusional propaganda til the very end, its fascinating.
If i could study this for a living, i would.
But you can't. Because it's illegal in the rf.
Trump is weeks away from office and you think Russia is going to cave ??? Who is paying you guys?
Ukraine is losing ground opposite to your news
Yes, in very tiny quantities, but Russia's losses are catastrophic.
Ground is only a part of the matter. Russia is losing money, people, trust, equipment and friends at a rate they can’t take.
😫😫😫😫
@@IsaacLuna-hl3dd Approaching three quarters of a million? Sounds pretty catastrophic to me. If I'm wrong, why is Putler begging NK for soldiers?
