The current Russian offensive reminds me of the German spring offensive of 1918, a final push that if it fails will leave the Russian military crippled. Similar initial advantage in manpower, unsustainable casualty rates and a looming threat that will shift the balance, only this time in the form of a stagflating Russian economy and depleting Soviet stockpiles.
@@Sceptonic What is the comparative casualty rate right now? Assuming a 3:1 wounded-to-fatality ratio it comes to *~10:1,* based on recent estimates of ~1500 Russian casualties per day and ~270 Ukrainian fatalities per week. That’s a very rough estimate, bound to be off by tens of percents, it still paints a grim picture for the Russian armed forces.
When all of this started i thought it will be over in weeks. And yet here we are, 1000 days later, what looks like to be one of the longest lasting wars in recent history.
It would have been over in a week if Borris Johnson hadn't convinced Ukraine to keep fighting. The peace deal being offered then seems a lot more favourable than the peace deals being offered now. Of course, Russia could collapse and Ukraine gets everything and more... but you have to admit things have gotten worse before this hypothetical of things ending up better.

@@Qwerty-jy9mjthe first world war was the first time armies used new “lighter” machine guns, long range rifled howitzers, poison gas, armored cars, …. And the war in Ukraine isn’t a stagnant. It’s not because Ukraine doesn’t advance that there is no advance
Whatever chances Ukraine had to fully reclaim its territories were at the start of the war. After Russians prepared steady defences and obtained a stable numerical advantage it will be near impossible to push them out. Now it's a race between Russian manufacturing collapsing and Ukrainian reserves drying up.
Yeah, I remember when their failed 2023 summer offensive was preparing, people were too optimistic. In the Kharkiv and Kherson counter-offensives, Russia had failed to establish air superiority, was outnumbered, and had not dug in defenses because they were attacking, and Ukraine’s counteroffensive was a surprise. None of those factors were present during the summer 2023 counteroffensive. Ukraine had run low on anti-air weapons and artillery shells, Russia had air superiority, lots more soldiers, and had months to dig in and train, knowing where Ukraine was planning to strike The time to beat Russia was while they were on the back foot. But Ukraine delayed the offensive waiting for western weapons, and the west dragged its feet delivering promised weapons giving Russia months. By the time the offensive began, the opportunity was long passed
@andreasl_fr2666 I hope no boots on he ground. "But Russia wants the rest of europe!" No he doesn't. They want to tax Europe with their oil, not occupy it. Even if it unjustly affects the Ukrainians the world may have no choice
I like that he talks about the topics with a fair bit of neutrality. That's exceedingly rare. But yeah, I miss the majority of his stuff being hypotheticals too.
Ukraine war highly resembles the second sino-japanese war. Crimea was anexxed just like manchuria was, followed by a full-scale invasion years later which eventually reached a stalemate and then in joined up with the larger war going on in the world. China only reclaimed Manchuria after Japan's surrender in WW2, we'll just have to see how this plays out, but is clear that on its own Ukraine can't recover Crimea.
No one in NATO will directly support Ukraine, its will end in peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, only its question how many land will Ukraine lost .
@yohananberrocal4586 The major difference is manpower. Comparatively, the Chinese could field just as many, if not more, men than the Japanese or at least replace losses at the same rate. In Ukraine, however, the manpower disparity increases by the day, so russia has a more advantageous position compared to what the japenese had despite some similarities with the beginning of the war
The biggest thing Russia gained in this war was the organization and experience to wage modern warfare. They had to learn the hard way, but they learned.
@obvioustroll.yetyoustillgo1634Every expert calls it a modern war yet the armchair general denies it. NATO is not ready for this type of war. The innovation of drones and EW rendering tanks and some type of NATO missiles/ systems like the HIMARS utterly useless. The change in ground warfare, using 10-40 infantrymen to test defences. There is no fog of war because of drones rendering surprise attacks useless yet here you are stating the opposite. Only thing that this war proved is the incompetence of NATO (excluding the US) not a single NATO country even had enough of ammunition/missiles to sustain a 1 month war effort.
What they are waging is far from modern war, this is WW1 level of slaughter, nothing more. They tried to wage modern war in first couple of weeks but they failed miserably...
remind yourself that the initial goal was to stop Ukraine from going to the NATO, not keeping a chunk of Ukraine. Ukraine lost more because the president Z-lensky was greedy. And Boris Johnson is a hack.
So funny and sad to see obvious Russian bots say the same false talking points as the upcoming US presidentb and his supporters. On a related note, Putin could sink hundreds of billions into Ukraine and gain a handful of flattened cities, but a few condos in Trump's buildings and a pee tape will pay off handsomely for him when Trump essentially cuts aid to Ukraine in a few months. Unless the EU or congressional GOP grow backbones, Putin will get the last laugh
What I find kinda interesting about the Kherson front is it’s kinda like ww1 in microcosm. (From my understanding) Russia had its best troops there (VDV) and their defeat was due to supplies and personnel deficits,not because of their combat capability,as they were largely still combat capable by the time of withdrawal.Just as many of Germany’s troops were in 1918.
@@kivagyoken8066 missed the point,am not comparing the outcomes but the odds.Was simply pointing out how both countries are/have preformed very will militarily given the fact the better part of the world is against them. PS: Germany only lost because the American establishment pretended to be “neutral” then bankroll the entire British/French war effort.If that didn’t happen ww1 would have ended much sooner.Sounds kinda familiar.
12:23 appeareantly Ukrainian army stuff predicted to capture Robotyne within 24 hours, then Tohmak in 7 days and reach Azov Sea until the end of August And got stucked in Robotyne and its surroundings for 7 months… :/
The capturing of this or that piece of territory was never the point. The Russians have always taken a holistic view of warfare. That is “to compel the enemy to do our will”. Once you’ve achieved that, everything else falls into place.
Agreed, so far this war has costed over 100k casualties on both sides, I would imagine Ukraine lost a lot more men due to Russian superiority in artillery
When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be damped. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength. Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain. Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor damped, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue. Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays. There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare. - The art of war Sun Tzu
I wish all the channels reporting on this war would cover it like you just did. There was no bias towards either side just objective facts presented in a clear manner.
With a bunch of incorrect information. And why? Is it intentional or not? When he mentions the numbers, it turns out that Ukraine occupied Russia, not the other way around!
@@ImStillWoody Why don't you look the other way? Why don't you look at someone neutral? You listen to Western propaganda and lies, and on the other hand, Ukraine is getting smaller and smaller, both in terms of area and population. You westerners are notorious for hiding the truth! What about weapons of mass destruction in Libya and Iraq? did they find it? They are not and never will be, because their only motive was the theft of oil and resources of those countries, as well as writing off the debts of the West to those countries. Simply imperialism and your so-called democracy in action!
Looks like Ukraine had a chance to end this thing back in October 2022. Russia’s mobilization was just starting and ukraine had a huge manpower advantage. If the west would have allowed Ukraine to use its weapons however they want and if they would have been even more aggressive I think they could have pushed the majority of Russian units out of melitopol and Mariupol. It would have been tough to break the Donetsk front and Crimea. Hindsight is 20/20 but if they would have been more aggressive and launched an all out attack before Russia was able to build defensive fortifications in 100% sure they would have won.
Ukraine still had little to no operational experience. The reason why that manpower advantage was an actual advantage in the first days of the war and allowed them to quickly halt the Russian invasion was because it was local National Guard units doing most of the fighting. They were fighting in their own backyards against a dispersed invading force spread across 1000 kilometers of an open front. That’s why most footage of destroyed Russian vehicles and dead bodies were always on the roads in the early days. It was relatively easy for poorly trained volunteers to hit exposed convoys. But that was the extent of Ukraines capabilities at that time. In reality, only a handful of brigades had the operational experience, training, and equipment to conduct professional offensive operations, and they were utilized to retake key territory effectively.
@@roy6907good analysis but Ukraine did have trained troops as you point out and you only really Need a spearhead and a well armed follow through, the same tactic Russia was going for in the first few days.
They had received a full army's worth of tanks from the other combloc dumps and couldn't dislodge the ruskies This is on Ukraine not the west that Russia is still fighting
@ I think you just proved my point by pointing out how Russia did it the first few days of the war. Russia did indeed have professional units spearhead their offensive. But without properly trained supporting elements, you will fail by the time you reach your first supply point.
2 years and this is the optimistic analys. More realistic, never (2029) Never because 2029 is too far and Ukraine can't sustain 4 years more war (Russia neither)
The Institute of War estimated mid-2025 for tanks, war planes, and armored vehicles. The Russian Terrorist Federation has a lot of artillery, but they will run out of shells, so it will be useless. The DPRK shells have a 50% failure rate, which means they won't explode. Even worse, some half-explode while still in the artillery chamber, which jams the cannon and there's no easy way to get the shell out. There was a great video showing an orc commander cursing about this. He was so pissed off, a reporter with the group posted a vid on TH-cam. I wish I could remember which channel it was - probably Kanal3, TVP, or PPR Global. Totally hilarious! 😅😅😅
The Russians had actually SAVED Assad (twice) But since the cease-fire, Syria became even more corrupted than it had been before. Besides, Turkey, Israel and the US wanted Assad to go. Now, the timing was chosen perfectly, Assad had no chance while Russia and Iran are too busy... But hey! The USA is also weak: the most powerful country in history cannot afford to support Ukraine and Israel simultaneously. Back to the topic: Syria would suffer as much as Gaza, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan: every place to where Ukroamericans brought their so called democracy.
Love this bit of social engineering. You write crazy like you are shocked. Like you are just someone who's gone through cognitive dissonance and in fact as we really know aren't just seeding western propaganda narratives. Thinly veiled. Thin.
I'm glad how you don't sugarcoat or sensationalize either side. It looks like a stagnant war with lots of souls perishing. But, considering it's the "mighty" russian military v. an underdog, I give the Ukranians the current "win".
If this is a victory for Ukraine, then it is a very strange one. Losing 20% of the territory with the support of 50 NATO countries can hardly be called a victory.
@@Jimmy1972 Lmao. You must be demented if you consider the support ukraine got as "war-changing", considering the fact that NATO has actively been limiting Ukraine for the past 2 years. "Don't bomb russian territory with our weapons", "don't do this, don't do that"
People in time will face this undisputed fact. That even if Ukraine worst case scenario even ends up completely losing this war Russia has clearly lost a great deal. Russia has been bullying other nations since the 90's and had become complacent with swift invasions and easy victories in wars like in the caucuses and elsewhere. Finally they decide to stealth invade like cowards a much larger nation like Ukraine who definitely wasn't Georgia and drove in columns to Kiev thinking they can annex this country overnight. Instead they ended up in a bloody war for 3 years heading for WWI standards once it goes to 4, that went so bad it forced Putin to order mobilization and ask North Koreans to fight to make up for the staggering losses of 1,500 men lost PER DAY as of November, a record high since the war started. Ukrainians invading russian territory forcing russian civilians to flee, destroying so many russian vehicles during the war it literally emptied their warehouse reserves, destroying Russia's Black fleet so thoroughly not only as of now it is basically non-existent but whatever was left had to abandon Crimea altogether and went to hide in Novorossiysk, downing some of Russia's most advanced aircraft whom the Russians considered untouchable and have less than 5 of each type left, launching countless of missiles strikes into Russia, blowing up stockpiles, army assemblies before they can even go the front, turning some of Russia's top Air Force bases with planes parked in lines into scrap metal, turning unreplaceable russian oil fields and refineries into giant fireballs, even attacking Moscow itself now they had to use raid sirens for Muscovites. What kind of victory is this? In what other kind of war that Russia started with another country in the past did they suffer such losses? Putin wanted to invade now because of Russia's declining population, a problem which began because of massive Russian casualties suffered in WW2. With so many Russian dead men in this war, whom might even reach 1,000,000 casualties before Ukraine finally gives up , how is this depopulation crisis gonna improve in the future? Ukrainians should be proud for all they have achieved thus far because even if they totally end up losing this war not only have they completely and undisputedly handed Russia's a*s to them but likely Russia is going to suffer socially and economically for generations to come.

@@FredrikNaevisdal No, really pushing into Kursk was a stupid idea. My speculation was US war planners hoped it would lead to an overreaction by the Russians which would justify expanding the war. It didn't work. It also didn't distract the Russians from pushing the front line which was making gains and the Ukrainians couldn't respond to that push effectively.
It's a situation that's both overestimated and underestimated at the same time. It's not a war-ending amount of territory being taken so far, and the russians are sacrificing A LOT of manpower for it, but obviously it's also not a good sign long-term because if anything Russia has shown they have absolutely zero care about sacrificing tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of soldiers for very little gain. Russians currently claiming victory are wrong, but it's not a situation that should be brushed aside by Ukraine either. But yes, Kursk was a gamble that russia didn't really buy into.
At least Russia isn't completely kaput after it. They didn't even need to fully mobilize while uko .ps had to destroy everything with the aid of western countries
@@cideltacommand7169they couldn't fully mobilize, last time they tried they had massive riots and even internal sabotage, Russia likely will be out of the fight in any major war for a while after this conflict has ended, they've burnt up their Soviet stockpiles and they've lost hundreds of thousands of men

If US support ends, then it will also spell the end for Taiwan, as China will get the greenlight to attack them. If taiwan is lost, then 92% of the semiconductor industry goes with them. That will mean prices for the remaining gpu's and cpu's will skyrocket, perhaps costing 10x as much or more. It will lead to a new dark age of gaming.
The majority of Taiwanese don't really care who their overlord country will be. They don't really fear Chinese rule like many in the Western world think that they would. I've already written off Taiwan; if NATO hasn't figured out how to manufacture semiconductors on their own by now, that's NATO's - and everyone's - loss for being short-sighted. Sending manufacturing overseas and cross-borders was bound to catch up as a logistical failure sooner or later. The single strong country, the sole super-power, now is China BECAUSE they have the manufacturing capability to enter into a major non-nuclear war with anybody and come out on top.
In retrospect, the Maidan set Ukraine back 50 years. Given the global and local trends regarding birth rates , I doubt Ukraine will ever recover to something similar to what it was 2010. The best case scenario for them now is a demographically and economically destroyed country 80% of it's de jure size and reliant on Europe and USA for almost everything.
Here’s what I don’t understand…. Russia fought this whole war up to this point like it’s 1944. When the U.S. performed operation desert storm in 1991, we blew out power grids, communications, highways, troop depots, and government buildings all in 1 night. Russia has not operated like this was a 21st century war. Either because they don’t have the capacity or ability.

Easily the BEST comparison to the Ukraine War is, funnily enough, the last time we had a full scale war between two near-peer nations. The Iran-Iraq War. Other than drones(for which I suggest looking at the Second Nagorno Karabakh War in 2020), basically everything else we've seen in this war showed up there and has some parallels.
Neither side had a nuclear option. The best parallel is that Iraq accepted backing by the US and one day America annihilated Iraq. America will similarly see Ukraine destroyed utterly by Russia if they do not follow their lead in future negotiations. That's not friendship - that's subjugation. I have asserted in the past that Ukraine is being crushed by both sides in this conflict and will continue to do so.
He said he will only be saying significant developments and news. The belgorod offensives after the fall of Bakhmut and Avdiivka by a gang of 100 russians who goes to a random town and plants a flag, posts it on social media and gets out. I haven't heard a lot of the achievements of the F16s.

Here is an interesting fact. The entire 106th Guards Airborne Division (VDV) is responsible for stopping the Ukranian advance in Kursk and is pushing the Ukranians back. Well not just them, there are many other divisions there, but they (VDV) are the ones who had the most success in the region.

It wasn’t so much that Ukraine didn’t react in the first couple days. Where there were existing defence like in the Donbass they held tight but other regions were there weren’t any they fell back to cities and waited to ambush Russian units.

Ukraine burnt through their entire initial arsenal. Most of their vehicles are NATO stuff. Without it they would have been done with and gone a long time ago.
You have a very peculiar understanding of the term "stalemate", but it's refreshing to know that actually, a stalemate is when you progressively gain more and more of the enemy's territory while dealing an unrepairable damage, specifically to the enemy's demographics, let alone the power grid. Truly thinking outside the box.
This video completely ignores that the primary objective for the Ukrainian offensive into Kursk Is to hold Russian land as a bargaining chip for when they are eventually forced to negotiate. This is why they have held on despite all their losses there.
It was nothing but a PR stunt that has largely failed. The land that Russia occupies is laden with billions of dollars of minerals. Russia would just start mining Ukraine's minerals and take the cash.

Yeah, Putin achieved his goal of getting Finland and Sweden to join NATO so NATO was directly on the Russian border. Plus Europe is rearming while Russia is being bled dry. So the goal of Putin to destroy his own country with a pointless war by being bled out by a superior economy is coming right along. It is a stupid goal, but he is doing it.
Actually you don't need to listen to putin to know how they thought it was going to end. Almost every vehicle destroyed / taken over by Ukraine during the first week had dress uniforms in them, meaning the troops were told to prepare for a parade. They thought it was going to be over in days...
The Russian army has been utterly embarrassed. Prior to this conflict, they were seen as a serious military. If a backwater like Ukraine is actually making advances into their territory, they should just give it up before they lose more lol
Seems like a strange take. They have taken everything NATO could throw at them without getting directly involved or launching nukes. They have weathered sanctions. They are inflicting terrible casualties on the enemy while preserving their forces and still achieving objectives. Someone is getting embarrassed but it's not who you think.

Why did you accidentally forgot to mention that Ukraine was ready to negotiate peace in the very beginning but Boris convinced Zelensky to keep going and they broke their promise once Russia left Kiev
It's not a peace if the terms included all the territory they held, it's a surrender. That's like saying Hitler was ready to "negotiate peace" in December 1941 if it meant he could keep all the Soviet lands up to the gates of Moscow.
Great video, thanks. I would like to highlight one point in the video and respond to some comments. First, North Korea. I assume that Russia did receive a significant number of shells from there, but the presence of Korean soldiers in Kursk has not been reliably confirmed. But even if this is true, I do not see anything humiliating in this for Russia, because it is reasonable to use all available means. Pranksters better worry about what North Korea might get in exchange. Secondly, the assessment of military potential. You know all those jokes about the second army of the world, right? Some people perceive this rating as if the top line can beat the bottom line at any time and achieve anything from it. But let's remember that the strongest army in the world cannot ensure safe navigation in a key region, and the most modern army in the Middle East slept through the attack and has been fighting for a whole year now. Russia mainly relies on its own potential, looking for a balance between military power and the economy, while Ukraine's own military potential has dropped significantly and the level of forces needed for defense is maintained only through Western assistance and forced mobilization, but even this level is becoming insufficient.
"The 2nd most powerful military in the world" needs 100,000 fighters from distant hermit kingdom isn't at all insulting? Pretty much this entire war has been a series of miscalculations on Putin's part. Sure he has underlings he can shift the blame on, but he's lost more than he's gained. Russia has become an international pariah state with a HEAVY economic reliance on China - there is a word for that "vassalage". Without China, the Russian economic would have crashed years ago - there will be a price for that aid and you can bet it'll be some form of co-rule/special status for the former Outer Manchurian region (especially since the area is being intentionally flooded with Chinese expats).
Very balanced opinion. Both points. I also wish to highlight nothing is stopping non-nuclear members of NATO to send their armies to Ukraine in response of NK doing it other than their lesser will. Point to highlight them being non-nuclear mean there would be no threat of war escalating to nuclear war.
A very Trumpian deal would be to ask Ukraine to cede all of its rare earths to America ($1 trillion worth) in exchange for the permanent stationing of 150,000 US "personnel" in Ukraine. We would find out just how fast Putin will want to deal
Greedy Russians started this war over the oil in Crimea, fearing Ukraine would overtake them as the leading supplier of oil and gas. Look where their greed has led them, now Putin waits for someone to bail him out without appearing weak or making concessions.
@js70371 This deal is the only worthwhile deal available now that would immediately get Putin's attention. And quickly end the conflict. Plus it would bypass all talk of Ukraine in NATO as it would be another US bilateral security agreement such as the US has, in various forms, with South Korea, Japan, Philippines and Australia.
Bad idea, the US sits on a motherload of rare earths in the Appalachians. Just like they sit on large reserves of Oil/LNG. Ukraine has nothing to offer the US other than corruption & the people just voted that administration out.

The current Russian offensive reminds me of the German spring offensive of 1918, a final push that if it fails will leave the Russian military crippled. Similar initial advantage in manpower, unsustainable casualty rates and a looming threat that will shift the balance, only this time in the form of a stagflating Russian economy and depleting Soviet stockpiles.

Whatever chances Ukraine had to fully reclaim its territories were at the start of the war. After Russians prepared steady defences and obtained a stable numerical advantage it will be near impossible to push them out. Now it's a race between Russian manufacturing collapsing and Ukrainian reserves drying up.
Yeah, I remember when their failed 2023 summer offensive was preparing, people were too optimistic. In the Kharkiv and Kherson counter-offensives, Russia had failed to establish air superiority, was outnumbered, and had not dug in defenses because they were attacking, and Ukraine’s counteroffensive was a surprise.
None of those factors were present during the summer 2023 counteroffensive. Ukraine had run low on anti-air weapons and artillery shells, Russia had air superiority, lots more soldiers, and had months to dig in and train, knowing where Ukraine was planning to strike
The time to beat Russia was while they were on the back foot. But Ukraine delayed the offensive waiting for western weapons, and the west dragged its feet delivering promised weapons giving Russia months. By the time the offensive began, the opportunity was long passed

Ukraine war highly resembles the second sino-japanese war. Crimea was anexxed just like manchuria was, followed by a full-scale invasion years later which eventually reached a stalemate and then in joined up with the larger war going on in the world. China only reclaimed Manchuria after Japan's surrender in WW2, we'll just have to see how this plays out, but is clear that on its own Ukraine can't recover Crimea.
Their not recovering it with support either
They are not recovering it with NATO support either. If NATO gets involved then both Russia and NATO would be destroyed
No one in NATO will directly support Ukraine, its will end in peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, only its question how many land will Ukraine lost .
@yohananberrocal4586 The major difference is manpower. Comparatively, the Chinese could field just as many, if not more, men than the Japanese or at least replace losses at the same rate. In Ukraine, however, the manpower disparity increases by the day, so russia has a more advantageous position compared to what the japenese had despite some similarities with the beginning of the war

When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be damped. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength.
Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain.
Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor damped, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue.
Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.
There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.

Regardless how it was, what is important is how it will be.
Good explanation and visuals.
But wrong!
Looks like Ukraine had a chance to end this thing back in October 2022. Russia’s mobilization was just starting and ukraine had a huge manpower advantage. If the west would have allowed Ukraine to use its weapons however they want and if they would have been even more aggressive I think they could have pushed the majority of Russian units out of melitopol and Mariupol. It would have been tough to break the Donetsk front and Crimea. Hindsight is 20/20 but if they would have been more aggressive and launched an all out attack before Russia was able to build defensive fortifications in 100% sure they would have won.
Ukraine still had little to no operational experience.
The reason why that manpower advantage was an actual advantage in the first days of the war and allowed them to quickly halt the Russian invasion was because it was local National Guard units doing most of the fighting.
They were fighting in their own backyards against a dispersed invading force spread across 1000 kilometers of an open front.
That’s why most footage of destroyed Russian vehicles and dead bodies were always on the roads in the early days. It was relatively easy for poorly trained volunteers to hit exposed convoys.
But that was the extent of Ukraines capabilities at that time. In reality, only a handful of brigades had the operational experience, training, and equipment to conduct professional offensive operations, and they were utilized to retake key territory effectively.
@@roy6907good analysis but Ukraine did have trained troops as you point out and you only really
Need a spearhead and a well armed follow through, the same tactic Russia was going for in the first few days.
They had received a full army's worth of tanks from the other combloc dumps and couldn't dislodge the ruskies
This is on Ukraine not the west that Russia is still fighting
@ I think you just proved my point by pointing out how Russia did it the first few days of the war.
Russia did indeed have professional units spearhead their offensive. But without properly trained supporting elements, you will fail by the time you reach your first supply point.
You saying it today when Russian showing they are ready to use nukes
When will Russia run out of tanks, artillery, trucks, armoured personnel carriers… ?
probably never. they'll just do a soviet style cheap production for years
2 years and this is the optimistic analys. More realistic, never (2029) Never because 2029 is too far and Ukraine can't sustain 4 years more war (Russia neither)
Against Ukraine ? Never.
3 years ago, according to these buffoons.
The Institute of War estimated mid-2025 for tanks, war planes, and armored vehicles. The Russian Terrorist Federation has a lot of artillery, but they will run out of shells, so it will be useless. The DPRK shells have a 50% failure rate, which means they won't explode. Even worse, some half-explode while still in the artillery chamber, which jams the cannon and there's no easy way to get the shell out. There was a great video showing an orc commander cursing about this. He was so pissed off, a reporter with the group posted a vid on TH-cam. I wish I could remember which channel it was - probably Kanal3, TVP, or PPR Global. Totally hilarious! 😅😅😅
Incredible presentation!

Wars actually been going on for like 10 years
It's crazy how weak Russia actually is. Same thing in Syria, they couldn't even save Assad. I always thought they were much stronger 😅
Russia is one of the sparsely populated European countries. It is obvious that this country is weaker than the pro-british coalition.
The Russians had actually SAVED Assad (twice)
But since the cease-fire, Syria became even more corrupted than it had been before. Besides, Turkey, Israel and the US wanted Assad to go. Now, the timing was chosen perfectly, Assad had no chance while Russia and Iran are too busy...
But hey! The USA is also weak: the most powerful country in history cannot afford to support Ukraine and Israel simultaneously.
Back to the topic: Syria would suffer as much as Gaza, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan: every place to where Ukroamericans brought their so called democracy.

People in time will face this undisputed fact. That even if Ukraine worst case scenario even ends up completely losing this war Russia has clearly lost a great deal. Russia has been bullying other nations since the 90's and had become complacent with swift invasions and easy victories in wars like in the caucuses and elsewhere. Finally they decide to stealth invade like cowards a much larger nation like Ukraine who definitely wasn't Georgia and drove in columns to Kiev thinking they can annex this country overnight.
Instead they ended up in a bloody war for 3 years heading for WWI standards once it goes to 4, that went so bad it forced Putin to order mobilization and ask North Koreans to fight to make up for the staggering losses of 1,500 men lost PER DAY as of November, a record high since the war started.
Ukrainians invading russian territory forcing russian civilians to flee, destroying so many russian vehicles during the war it literally emptied their warehouse reserves, destroying Russia's Black fleet so thoroughly not only as of now it is basically non-existent but whatever was left had to abandon Crimea altogether and went to hide in Novorossiysk, downing some of Russia's most advanced aircraft whom the Russians considered untouchable and have less than 5 of each type left, launching countless of missiles strikes into Russia, blowing up stockpiles, army assemblies before they can even go the front, turning some of Russia's top Air Force bases with planes parked in lines into scrap metal, turning unreplaceable russian oil fields and refineries into giant fireballs, even attacking Moscow itself now they had to use raid sirens for Muscovites. What kind of victory is this? In what other kind of war that Russia started with another country in the past did they suffer such losses?
Putin wanted to invade now because of Russia's declining population, a problem which began because of massive Russian casualties suffered in WW2. With so many Russian dead men in this war, whom might even reach 1,000,000 casualties before Ukraine finally gives up , how is this depopulation crisis gonna improve in the future? Ukrainians should be proud for all they have achieved thus far because even if they totally end up losing this war not only have they completely and undisputedly handed Russia's a*s to them but likely Russia is going to suffer socially and economically for generations to come.

@@FredrikNaevisdal No, really pushing into Kursk was a stupid idea. My speculation was US war planners hoped it would lead to an overreaction by the Russians which would justify expanding the war. It didn't work. It also didn't distract the Russians from pushing the front line which was making gains and the Ukrainians couldn't respond to that push effectively.
It's a situation that's both overestimated and underestimated at the same time. It's not a war-ending amount of territory being taken so far, and the russians are sacrificing A LOT of manpower for it, but obviously it's also not a good sign long-term because if anything Russia has shown they have absolutely zero care about sacrificing tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of soldiers for very little gain.

The best case scenario for them now is a demographically and economically destroyed country 80% of it's de jure size and reliant on Europe and USA for almost everything.

Here’s what I don’t understand…. Russia fought this whole war up to this point like it’s 1944.
When the U.S. performed operation desert storm in 1991, we blew out power grids, communications, highways, troop depots, and government buildings all in 1 night.
Russia has not operated like this was a 21st century war. Either because they don’t have the capacity or ability.
They are terrorists in disguise for nation. Nation from wish. Through terrorism they kept themselves on the top for cheap. Can you tell me how much money spend USA during that night versus Russia in 1000 days?
The whole EU support Ukraine. In dessert storm enemy officers were paid to betray and have no military resistance. It's completely different scenarios
no one right now can match the US's military power. The only close contender would be China and then Russia but even then, nobody has the force projection capability the US has. Russia is struggling because they just don't have the capabilities the US has.

Easily the BEST comparison to the Ukraine War is, funnily enough, the last time we had a full scale war between two near-peer nations. The Iran-Iraq War.
Other than drones(for which I suggest looking at the Second Nagorno Karabakh War in 2020), basically everything else we've seen in this war showed up there and has some parallels.
Neither side had a nuclear option. The best parallel is that Iraq accepted backing by the US and one day America annihilated Iraq. America will similarly see Ukraine destroyed utterly by Russia if they do not follow their lead in future negotiations. That's not friendship - that's subjugation. I have asserted in the past that Ukraine is being crushed by both sides in this conflict and will continue to do so.

Ukraine burnt through their entire initial arsenal. Most of their vehicles are NATO stuff. Without it they would have been done with and gone a long time ago.
You have a very peculiar understanding of the term "stalemate", but it's refreshing to know that actually, a stalemate is when you progressively gain more and more of the enemy's territory while dealing an unrepairable damage, specifically to the enemy's demographics, let alone the power grid. Truly thinking outside the box.
Are they winning, son?
This video completely ignores that the primary objective for the Ukrainian offensive into Kursk Is to hold Russian land as a bargaining chip for when they are eventually forced to negotiate. This is why they have held on despite all their losses there.
It was nothing but a PR stunt that has largely failed. The land that Russia occupies is laden with billions of dollars of minerals. Russia would just start mining Ukraine's minerals and take the cash.

Yeah, Putin achieved his goal of getting Finland and Sweden to join NATO so NATO was directly on the Russian border. Plus Europe is rearming while Russia is being bled dry.

And btw, Russia also won in Syria.. which makes Russia's won war count 477x higher than America's 1 war won count.
Seems like a strange take. They have taken everything NATO could throw at them without getting directly involved or launching nukes. They have weathered sanctions. They are inflicting terrible casualties on the enemy while preserving their forces and still achieving objectives. Someone is getting embarrassed but it's not who you think. NATO looks impotent and it's not even over yet. Wait for the collapse, like Vietnam in '75. We'll see who was too big for their britches when it's over with.

Great video, thanks. I would like to highlight one point in the video and respond to some comments. First, North Korea. I assume that Russia did receive a significant number of shells from there, but the presence of Korean soldiers in Kursk has not been reliably confirmed. But even if this is true, I do not see anything humiliating in this for Russia, because it is reasonable to use all available means. Pranksters better worry about what North Korea might get in exchange.
Secondly, the assessment of military potential. You know all those jokes about the second army of the world, right? Some people perceive this rating as if the top line can beat the bottom line at any time and achieve anything from it. But let's remember that the strongest army in the world cannot ensure safe navigation in a key region, and the most modern army in the Middle East slept through the attack and has been fighting for a whole year now. Russia mainly relies on its own potential, looking for a balance between military power and the economy, while Ukraine's own military potential has dropped significantly and the level of forces needed for defense is maintained only through Western assistance and forced mobilization, but even this level is becoming insufficient.
"The 2nd most powerful military in the world" needs 100,000 fighters from distant hermit kingdom isn't at all insulting?
Pretty much this entire war has been a series of miscalculations on Putin's part. Sure he has underlings he can shift the blame on, but he's lost more than he's gained.
Russia has become an international pariah state with a HEAVY economic reliance on China - there is a word for that "vassalage". Without China, the Russian economic would have crashed years ago - there will be a price for that aid and you can bet it'll be some form of co-rule/special status for the former Outer Manchurian region (especially since the area is being intentionally flooded with Chinese expats).
you sir are very well informed and i think your opinion is generaly well rounded.
Very balanced opinion. Both points. I also wish to highlight nothing is stopping non-nuclear members of NATO to send their armies to Ukraine in response of NK doing it other than their lesser will.
Point to highlight them being non-nuclear mean there would be no threat of war escalating to nuclear war.
A very Trumpian deal would be to ask Ukraine to cede all of its rare earths to America ($1 trillion worth) in exchange for the permanent stationing of 150,000 US "personnel" in Ukraine.
We would find out just how fast Putin will want to deal
Chuck you don’t even live on planet Earth 🤡👍
Greedy Russians started this war over the oil in Crimea, fearing Ukraine would overtake them as the leading supplier of oil and gas.
Look where their greed has led them, now Putin waits for someone to bail him out without appearing weak or making concessions.
@js70371 This deal is the only worthwhile deal available now that would immediately get Putin's attention.
And quickly end the conflict.
Plus it would bypass all talk of Ukraine in NATO as it would be another US bilateral security agreement such as the US has, in various forms, with South Korea, Japan, Philippines and Australia.
