U.S. citizen here, not sure why you refer to billions in weapons and cash as a percentage of our GDP, from my standpoint, it's billions in taxes paid, when there are plenty of issues with invaders at our borders to take care of. Are there over ten million Russians in Ukraine? Cause Biden let in over ten million invaders into our country.

I never understood the cost comparison between target and interceptor. The real question is how much would the damage caused cost. In other words, if a (say) 100$ rocket is about to hit a parked F35? It makes perfect economic sense to shoot it down at almost any cost.

After WW2, the Western way of war has been to fight to an even draw over an extended period of time. There are very few exceptions.

Perun seems to forget or ignore that the _publicly stated goal of the U.S. insupporting a war in Ukraine_ *is,* _" . . . to destroy as much Russian equipment as possible," per Anthony Blinken, Secretary of State. That *demands* the war go on as long as possible, and does not count the cost in lives, treasure, or anything else! Since the primary present result of this war is to improve and develop drone warfare techniques and equipment, testing on the battlefield against the military equipment of every nation, I suspect that is the obvious purpose of this war. Read in to that what you may.

18:33 lmao at this PDA joke 🤣

Well both sides of the aisle sent thoughts AND prayers what more could the Ukrainians possibly want?

little putin could never have imagined that his 'Special military Operation' would turn into a huge drone war. His tanks, artiillery and peronnel carriers are being turned into scrap metal at a rapid rate 😆🤣😆 - not to mention what's happening to the associated people.

As someone who works in the US defense industry can confirm. Have no skills.

Graft Theft Ammo

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR GREAT PRESENTATIONS...!!!

well, it is ON RECORD on the NATO channel "it's not aaa... pizza itsa... mor-a like-a toast-a"

As a Korean(south) it is quite "hilarious" that both korea supply ammo with "K decision"

I live in Poland. In one of bigger cities in west. I can tell you that trains loaded with military stuff where already waiting on railway sidetracks days before official US senate pass :) They where 100% sure it will pass, and all stuffwas packed and ready to moveo ut in moment notice.

The only thing I don't like about these packages is that you don't ever hear anyone saying how good it is, you only hear it's not enough and It took too long. Yeah the American economy is big but it's not infinite and there are a lot of countries like China that are actingly trying to bring America's downfall.

If there's enough public information about it, I would love to learn about what Ukraine's doing to bolster their own stocks through national production efforts. It might not be a vast amount compared to the US and (eventually) EU production, but if I were Ukraine I would still do whatever I could to be (slightly) less reliant on the aid. Edit: I commented too soon during the video. Mea Culpa x155mm

Excellent. Thank you for all your work

Oh also you hear ruzzia is closing prisons, lowered the age to join the millitary? Also started using 14yr olds in factories .

Do you think ruzzia is providing chip help to chna? Also good ea joke 😊 Do you think the us air force is studying drones?

STUNNING to hear a US general to say that today NATO needs an UKRAINIAN to teach young Nato officers how to properly dig a trench ! Wow.....

Imperialist DISLIKED

Europe is doing far too little. Europe should be the main provider to Ukraine. Why are European industries not switching to war production 🤬

As an American, I am so deeply ashamed of what's going on in our Congress. The fact that they were just d*cking around for MONTHS while Ukrainians were dying, all because a handful of MAGA lunatics had the speaker by the short hairs... It's disgraceful. The world won't soon forget how the US chickened out when the time came for strength and resolve.

So .... what is Ukraine's future? Say five years from now?

US aid is still just a band-aid. Russia’s entire economy has transitioned to support a ground war. And their oil will continue to finance their aggression.

Let me correct some of your comment at 7:15 mark, China is food independent, they have the largest stockpile of food and thank to its use of agricultural science it is also the largest food producer in the world, the reason China is also a large food importer is because Chinse with improved economy want better food not just food. China is the sixth largest nation in natural resources, it does not have all the resource it needs but it is rich in rare earth, and also has untapped resources like Shale gas and oil. China's economy is not really equivalent or similar to Japan, China has vastly more natural resources than Japan, large internal market, China's debt is nothing at a level like Japan which stands at 420% of GDP or the US with government debt now 120% of GDP and private debt consistently at 210+% of GDP

EU production estimates for 155mm artillery rounds is estimated to be 1.4m in 2024. does that mean there is still a significant amount exported to other countries than Ukraine or is that more stockpiling in the EU?

At 4:40, I would like to add one more detail. For international viewers, particularly from parliamentary systems, this is going to sound weird, but one of the things about Congress, specifically the House of Representatives, is that each two year Congress can have its own separate rules (usually within the broad strokes of the ones past but you get the idea). These rules are dictated by the rules committee, which is arguably one of the most prestigious and powerful in the HoR. After the 2022 midterms, the Republicans had the slimmest of majorities in the house, and McCarthy wasn't elected speaker for multiple days until he convinced the hardliners to vote for him, largely through a number of concessions. One of these concessions was an alteration to the procedure to hold a vote to oust the speaker, whereby he agreed to drastically reduce the number of representatives required to initiate what is essentially a no-confidence vote. Fast forward a few months and after publicly subjecting Matt Gaetz to investigation over his sus activities and passing the bare minimum of a bi-partisan effort to fund the government, and Mr Gaetz initiated the vote that threw him out. Fast forward a bit more and Johnson is now facing a similar effort after passing the omnibus arms & intelligence-powers bill from MTG. Basically, under normal circumstances, without those rules alterations, this never would have happened; however, given the extremely tenuous nature of the Republican majority in the House, this whole rodeo came to be, and now Johnson might lose his job for doing the bare minimum after dragging his heels for so long. Lord knows who would replace him at this point, but the people giving the boot to whomever happens to hold the speaker's gavel at whatever given moment don't seem to care.

more visual content.. just like the already established format but cycle more pictures diagrams performance charts and other upper level depictions of battle and home front and political condidions which enable us to manifest the understanding of how all those intelligence y

France' exports are 6% ahead of Russia's. Big Deal. Especially since France is not fighting any near the scale of war Russia has since 2014 in both Syria and Ukraine. In fact, it's telling that despite that France only managed to eke ahead by 6 percent or so.

Skip the US system BS...the Republican right, which used to be anti-Russian is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump fronted Putin Party thanks to whatever Putin has on Trump. They want to divide the world up into three spheres of influence: US, Russian, Chinese with the N. Koreans on the Chinese dog leash.

16:52 Mouth farts

Glad the aid passed, here's hoping that we pass twice or even three times as much next year!

Russia also lost a record number of aircraft since January

If you asked me five years ago if I felt I'd ever find myself wanting to watch an hour long PowerPoint lecture of a detailed assessment of Joe Biden's package, I wouldn't have said I thought i would...

THE POINT: So what now? Ukraine gets 60 billions in weapons,spends it in 2-3 months ,and what then? Another 60 billion ? Ukrainian line is collapsing, Russian army wil take Odessa this summer, nothing can stop that now,so what is the plan...?

not too worried about the aid being late to Ukraine. If the allies think it's time to start rethinking their military spending, then I have to ask them, what have you been waiting for?

.... Military clowns!!!!!......No army....no war!

Russian ecnomy under innense sanctions... is it, though, really???

lol about :40 I did! I had that on my bingo card! lol

When are jets coming?

It's a real shame nobody thought to have an alliance wide standard for munitions, that way everyone wouldn't be reliant on one supplier.

European rearmament should be PERMANENT. Reliance on the distant, politically fractious, unreliable USA is a mistake. The world is a bad place. Always was, always will be, and harmlessness is the reverse of a deterrent, especially to the permanent historic ontological enemy to the east. Previous policy mistakes towards that enemy does not make it less an enemy. Failure to define it as an enemy does not make it less an enemy. Ossi and other leftist subversives in the West do not make it less an enemy but rather are products of well over a century of systematic social subversion. Any idea those subversives hold be it honest or otherwise does not lessen their intense desire to destroy secular democracy. The US is not a reliable ally but a large fickle emotional infant. (I'm a Yank and spent a lifetime studying my invariably rustic countrymen including a steadily declining national discourse worse every decade with zero prospect of improvement. Do not mistake current aid for other than the product of desperate bargaining by a fading group of internationalists.) The microscopic number of Americans with genuine interest in geopolitics are dwarfed by what H.L. Mencken rightly called the booboisie who are incompetent to operate a democratic republic, bitterly knowledge-averse, and intensely proud of those dubious qualities. Europe must unite for collective survival and stay that way as long as possible (no civilization is permanent as archaeology demonstrates). The former Warsaw Pact should acquire nuclear weapons. Ukraine made the suicidal mistake of trusting US guarantees and may yet lose because of it. Horror is no excuse for unwise policy. Poland being the most prosperous and understanding the permanent Russian threat should build out nuclear power and capability to produce warheads because the UK and France cannot be relied on to protect Poland. No outsider can be trusted at that level because outsiders can easily be subverted.

Your best presentation.

Marines ate all the other crayons, thats why they have a single category 😂

Well, it is the Slavic edition of the infamous war between Persia ans Iraq, which lasted from 1980 until 1988 and did cost some million lives. So Russia and Ukraine can already congratulate each other for waging that war, especially as both nations have very low birthrates and do now waste their last young men. Fighting for territory, which they will not be able to inhabit in the future...

I hear a new mic

16:54 I think your stomach had enough of those Spicy Chili food, Perun.

Wasn't France beaten down by the Soviets/Russians? At least Napoleon was...
