I agree with you about his credibility. He predicted that Ukraine would take Crimea by the end of August 2023 and that the Ukrainian summer offensive would turn into a rout because Russian troops would flee from the battlefield. Clearly a man who makes such accurate predictions is a highly credible analyst.

[@hotstepper887]

Really? Russia (who couldn't be more in the right, if the really tried), have done nothing wrong, they've not broken international law and should be commended for their actions while we and the USA should be globally condemned? So, rather than making such a ridiculous comment, back it up with a single fact? Tell us what truth you have heard?

[@hotstepper887]

Do you think that, actually, there could just be something wrong with you, maybe? Or is the truth, that you actually have no idea what is going on in this world, yet think you do?

[@hotstepper887]

You see I'm English, and this is what you read from me, it's something known as the undeniable truth! And as we should all know, and understand, Whenever you're speaking the truth, no matter if you're the only one speaking the truth, you'll always be right, while the rest, (regardless of how many), will always be wrong. Seriously though, to start with, just how could anyone think, or believe, that Russia have acted in any way, other than 100% the right way, 100% the ethical way, and 100% the moral way, in absolutely everything they've done? It really is just outright idiocy, it's idiocy on a scale of idiocy, that I really don't believe we've ever seen, or ever experienced before. It's actually outright, in your face, treachery. So, let's start to get this right! - It is not, and it never has been, a "Russian invasion of Ukraine". Seriously, only a propaganda swallowing fool could think it was! Obviously, we do hear that from our own lying governments, yet they all know, and they all know very well, that it wasn't, and it isn't a Russian invasion of Ukraine. Yet barely any Americans seem to know, or understand, anything about any of this! So let's explain what we are seeing, and have been seeing since long before this started. All these people we see supporting Ukraine, don't even know what we've really seen happen in Ukraine, (since the illegal US coup of Ukraine in 2014). In fact, many of them don't even know that it was the USA that planned and carried out the coup in Ukraine, 2014. And they seemingly have no idea, that the "illegal" Ukrainian government's, army, (with their neo-Na*i) NATO trained thugs, have non-stop been trying to murder and wipe out the Eastern Ukrainian for the last 9 years! And why? - Because those former Eastern Ukrainians, have always spoken Russian, and they didn't agree with the illegal coup committed against their legally elected government. What we actually saw, like what we REALLY saw (during, and after the coup in 2014), was the western Ukrainians attacking and murdering many eastern Ukrainians, they burnt many of them to death! - After trapping them in a building, they surrounding it, then set it alight, and they all cheered and laughed as people started to throw themselves out of high rise windows to their deaths. This is who our governments are supporting! And understandably, after that, on 14th May 2014, those Eastern Ukrainians held a referendum on whether they should claim independence from Ukraine, (who only want to slaughter them all). Seeing them overwhelmingly vote to claim their own independence from Ukraine, seeing the creation of both the Donetsk People's Republic, and the Luhansk People's Republic. Then, after 8 years fighting against Ukrainian Nazism, in February 2022, both the Donetsk People's Republic, and the Luhansk People's Republic, saw Ukraine building up a military force of over 200,000 troops (with Nazi battalions included) on their borders, (who were well dug in, and heavily armed with modern western weapons targetting them). Ukraine were preparing to carry out a pre-planned, full-frontal, military assault against all those innocent people in Eastern Ukraine, to wipe them all out. Then both the Donetsk People's Republic, and the Luhansk People's Republic (requested) Russian military protection from Ukraine, and they (requested) Russian military assistance against Ukraine's illegal army and their Nazi murdering thugs. - To which Russia (quite rightly) agreed, while also recognizing their own independence from Ukraine. Putin then made it very clear, what Russia's aim was in Ukraine (before they entered), and honestly, he could not have made it any clearer, than he did. He told us all, the aim for Russia was to protect those Eastern Ukrainian people (who have been subjected to bullying, torture, murder, and attempted genocide against them by the Kiev regime for the last eight years) - About time too, is the truth. For Russia to achieve that, they planned to carry out a special military operation, to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, to bring to justice, all war criminals responsible for the bloody war crimes against civilians in Donbass over the last 8 years. - Good is the truth, well done Russia is the correct response! The Americans need to learn this very quickly, because no matter where anyone's loyalty may lie, we, (the people), never support wrong, over right! But we should always be willing and prepared, to stand up and fight for right, over wrong! (And btw, nobody has ever attempted to claim, that an invited, and requested, military intervention, into a country, to protect innocent people from slaughter, as a military invasion by anyone, not ever!) Well, apart from these clowns leading us today. We then saw, during 23-27 September 2022, the Donetsk People's Republic, and the Luhansk People's Republic, hold a referendum whether to join the Russian Federation, or to remain independent of Ukraine, (who only want to slaughter them all). And they then, again, overwhelmingly, voted to join the Russian Federation, and they were all elated to finally do so. Yet, we see many Americans swallowing and believing the western propaganda narrative, that wrongly claims Russia invaded Ukraine?. So, the reality is, these people we see supporting Ukraine, must think, that Russia protecting all those innocent people (at their own request), is a Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the wrong thing for Russia to do? Right? So, they must have expected Russia to just ignore all those innocent eastern Ukrainian's request for help and protection from Ukraine, and then just watch Ukraine murder them all? Think about it, that's exactly what they must have expected to see? And that, really is, only a Nazi mindset.

[@hotstepper887]

And please, before you, or anyone else, wants to try and deny a single word I've said? Don't bother, as there's not any excuse we see any of this today. As anyone can merely look up these people (risking their own lives to bring us all the truth), showing us, and proving everything to us, proving everything we've been told are all lies. So go watch it, It's undeniable! American freelance journalist Patrick Lancaster, has been out on the front lines, and he's got so much of this on film, (that anyone can watch for themselves), and then people would be able to make a much more informed opinion, an opinion based on what they can see and watch with their own eyes, rather than listening to, and believing the most remedial efforts of propaganda we see from the BBC, Sky, ITV or C4 today. Another is Graham Phillips, a British freelance journalist, who has filmed so much of this, going right back to 2014, again, as anyone can watch for themselves, and from all sides. But no, we only see and hear these uneducated fools and outright traitors today, stupidly claiming a massive outright liar, speaks the truth, while she has no idea what the truth is? You couldn't make it up.

[@hotstepper887]

I've no ever heard a more stupid person in all my like, yet read you all, man? What is wrong with you people? Unlike many of you, it seems, I did waste much of my youth achieving a Master's in comparative politics & Economics, and a Bachelor’s in Anglo/American history, and I'd be fascinated for anyone I read here, to tell us one thing you've heard from this guy, you think is truthful? What he says, and all he claims about Russia, is an outright backward opinion, that's based on zero facts, and he'd fall apart if asked to explain his opinion in some kind of logical way. Yet, as always, it seems with you American people, these people just have to say something, and regardless what it is, you all gobble it up (like you're supposed to), and you not only swallow it, but incredibly you even start talking it? I'll show you what I mean.... Because also like to know why it is, that we read so many Americans, who have absolutely no idea what's going on in Ukraine, no idea it's been going on for the last 9 years, and absolutely no idea, it was the US that planned, financed and purposely caused the coup in Ukraine, 2014, during Maidan, (yet they all do want an opinion on it)? Only, how can anyone, ever form any kind of logical opinion on anything, without knowing and being fully aware of all the facts? That's more commonly known, as outright ignorance! Seemingly, the Americans just have no idea that we have Victoria Nuland, (in a leaked phone call), to the US ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey R. Pyatt? Where she's heard explaining to him, who would be replacing Yanukovych, while also insisting Klitschko is prevented from taking part in the elections, (saying the USA couldn't trust a former sports star) I mean, you what? What's that all about? . And when he asked then her what the EU might say to it? She replied with "F*** the EU", proving even the EU knew nothing at all about the US planned and executed criminal illegal coup against Ukraine. And let's not forget It was all said, about 6 months before the coup, took place, that was exactly as she had said?. So, have any of these Americans, who we see, and we read blaming Russia, ever listened to that phone call? No? Why not? So, they have indeed, formed an opinion, without knowing or being fully aware of all the facts? It's just more of that outright stupidity, and so dangerous! We also have the Snowden leaks, showing us many of the USA's plans in Ukraine! So, again, have any of these "really intelligent American people" (who we see and read blaming Russia), ever read those leaks? No? Why not? The man risked his own freedom to show us so many of these truths? We even have the old parliament of Ukraine, (spelling out exactly what they'd found out the USA was trying to do, about 7 months before the coup took place). As anyone can read for themselves... (See below). But the Americas all blame Russia? For what, I've no idea? So, maybe one of you could tell me? For doing 100% the right, and the correct thing, maybe? As Russia could not be any more in the right today, even if they really tried to be right. While the USA, could not be any more wrong, in all they're doing. Transcript: Deputy Oleg Tsarov has the word... Honourable Colleagues... Honourable Vladimir Vasiljevitch... In my role as a representative of the Ukrainian people, activists of the public organization “Volya”, have turned to me, providing clear evidence that within our territory, and with support and direct participation of the USA Embassy in Kiev, the “Tech Camp” project is realized, under which preparations are being made for a civil war in Ukraine. The “Tech Camp” project prepares specialists for information warfare and for the discrediting of state institutions, by using modern social media platforms, that can be used to create potentials to arouse possible revolutionaries, for the organizing of violent protests, and aimed at the toppling of the State Order. The project is currently overseen, and under the responsibility of the US ambassador to Ukraine... Geoffrey R. Pyatt. After my conversation with the organisation “Volya”, I have learned that, they, [Volya], succeeded in accessing facilities of the project “Tech Camp” by disguising themselves as a team of IT specialists, and to their surprise, briefings on the peculiarities of modern social media platforms were held. American instructors explained how social media networks and Internet technologies can be used for targeted manipulation of public opinion, as well as, to activate protest potential, and to provoke violent unrest on the territory of Ukraine, with complete radicalization of the population, and for the triggering of infighting. They also showed examples of successful uses of social media networks and technologies, that were used to organize mass and violent protests, in Egypt - Tunisia - Libya - Syria - and Venezuela. Tech Camp representatives currently hold conferences throughout Ukraine, a total of five events have been held so far, and about 300 people have been trained as operatives, which are now active throughout Ukraine. The last conference “Tech Camp” took place on 14th and 15th of November 2013... In the Heart of Kiev, on the territory of the US Embassy. You tell me, what country, in the world, would ever allow an “NGO” to operate out of, and from... (the US Embassy in Kiev)?. This is extremely dangerous, disrespectful and harmful to the Ukrainian government, and it's completely 100% against the Ukrainian People. I appeal to the constitutional authorities of Ukraine, with the following question... "Is it conceivable that representatives of the US Embassy, in Kiev… (which organize the Tech Camp Conferences)... misuse their diplomatic mission?" -- Let him speak -- Carry On... UN Resolution, of 21 December 1965, regulates the inadmissibility of interference in the internal affairs of a state, to protect its independence and its sovereignty. In accordance with paragraphs one, two, and five. I ask you to consider this, as an official beseech... to pursue an investigation of this case... Thank You... I mean, honestly, could It be any more obvious? It really must take the most backward thinking people who could ever see any of this as anything other than 100% the USA's fault! If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, eventually the people will come to believe it ~ Joseph Goebbels, 1941. You only need to say it once to an American, as long as it was the American government saying it, they'd all believe it. Explain this, please? Anyone?

I'm so sick of all this tip towing, that is what's wrong with the world as it stands now. If we just said enough or it's your ass, everybody would stop immediately, nobody can even stand a chance against the United States military, not even for a single day. If we go off at full force you lose plain and simple. They would act right real quick.

so what happened in afghanistan? 20 years there and 5 trillion dollars, and the taliban are in charge. we also left military equipment for the taliban also... that sound like military dominance??

[@NathanDean79]

You are god damned right it is the Russians who should be afraid of us! The US has 187 F-23 Raptors, over 600 F-35’s, 20 B2 stealth bombers, 40 B1 lancer supersonic bombers, and a fuck load of B-52’s. Plus we also have around 25-30 F-117 stealth Fighters that are technically retired but kept in such a state that they could be pressed back into service in a very short time. And we will soon start taking delivery of B-21 Raider stealth bombers. How many stealth aircraft does Russia have?

[@alexdubrovski8889]

i don't see a problem and you shouldn't either, unless u lost or purposefully distorting the picture. do u think that was said about entire russia as a country OR regards to its military operation on that moment? in that particular context that was very true and that exactly what happened. for few month Russia was low on everything. because they overstretched themselves and didn't not pull back on time.. THAT fact made ukraine able to beat russia back to current borders whereas Russia had much more territory taken in first 2 months. then Russia formed new front line and started frantically accumulate new supplies

[@angrydad1907]

@@alexdubrovski8889 Defend Hodges all you want, he’s been clueless since this began. He’s also the one that said the Challenger would run over Russian defence lines and now he says it not the right tank for Ukraine. He gets it wrong time after time. If it makes you feel good keep listening to this clown.

So is russia. They not only have made more enemies than USA, but they imagine, in their alcoholic nightmarish hallucination/drug induced paranoia, to see an enemy lurking under every bed and hiding behind every lamppost! It doesn’t take much for the cognoscenti in the Kremlin to see scary opposition figures, rebellious plotters, coup leading babushkas, Octoberists, Navalnyites, Democratic Socialist LBGTQ”influencers”with green ink stained fingers and eighty year old grannies lurking in the shadows armed with Molotov cocktails, aiming to bring down putin’s glorious Empire. Moscow is blind to ISIS-K right in front of their eyes! Terrorists? What terrorists…..? (Looks in mirror)

[@stevekirkby6570]

US is always the common denominator in wars around the world. Only 2 years of no insurgency or conflict or war in its entire history. Everybody elses back yard is seen as a playground. It needs to stop and the US should focus on its own direct borders and wellbeing of its citizens.
