What deployments? There are 2000 Russian troops at most there, very poorly equipped.

[@nilloc93]

A great video as always, unfortunately I have to disagree with some points "-Mobilization has not yet had an effect" I would say this is pretty easy to disprove, since the Russians fully mobilized Ukraine hasn't been able to go on an offensive and the fronts have been relatively stable for the past few months. Compared to before when it looked like Russia was so thinned out they might have to withdraw even more by winter. Now Russia has the manpower to make small pushes in certain areas. I'd also be VERY cautious with the "Russia is running out of X" lines that have been going on; in this case cruise missiles. Russia was trying to cripple Ukraine during the winter, which is now over, so its logical for them to hold off on launching massive strikes as often as possible to stockpile for their next missile campaign. Not necessarily running out but instead not shooting everything they have for no benefit. Those claims that Russia is going to run out of a thing have been going on since last spring from artillery barrels to generals, and yet they never run out.* Don't forget Russia is a powerful country, a rather incompetent one but still, don't fall into the trap of thinking they're some generic Hollywood bad guys, they're still powerful and they'll adapt to their failures and be stronger for it. At the start of this war NATO troops were the worlds combat experts, no one in the world had more combat experience than the US. Now, after a year of constant combat I'd imagine that Russia and Ukraine are likely the worlds experts in conventional warfare. *OBV doesn't apply to artillery ammo which historically everyone always runs low on in every war ever.

Good points all, but everyone knows that if all the West's military resources are simultaneously deployed at Russia's there can only be 2 outcomes. 1) Nuclear war or 2) Russian capitulation. The question today is simply how much irritation will either side endure before some type of negotiated peace is determined. Putin, Xi and Khamenei all know their "tail" isn't strong enough to wag this particular dog into submission. But, that's not the goal. The goal is to wear the dog down so it'll obey commands to be named later. The aforementioned have to endure 21 months...can they? Probably, but will they?

[@bosoerjadi2838]

It's economically driven. News tv stations cannot afford to have reporting and analysis teams specialised in just one subject/theme, e.g. warfare, on their payrolls. After all, they provide news for free to the viewers. Tv news teams are typically known for knowing only a little about a lot and rarely much about anything, thus only able to report and analyse superficially and generically. Some newspapers and magazines are able and willing to provide more depth, even on more than one subject. Subscriptions to those cost substantially more. Which explains why the poor generally are less well informed than the wealthy. The poor increasingly have to work a lot harder to find things out and spend more time doing so, only to get properly informed. So huzzah for KZbin and its small group of serious and high quality content creators.

The first point of the Chinese peace proposal, "Respecting the sovereignty of all countries", is the same as the first point of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum signed by Russia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States: "Respect the signatory's independence and sovereignty in the existing borders." Russia broke that agreement, so why should anybody expect them to honor another peace pact? BTW, the Budapest Memorandum is the main reason why the US is giving military and economic aid to Ukraine, as it has an obligation to honor. Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons is exchange for this guarantee, and the US must help Ukraine if it wants to keep its word. China is watching carefully to see if it can take Taiwan without a fight, so it's not just an abstract matter of honor, it's a very practical policy.

With respect, I love that your videos generally feel very neutral in their nature, which is why I love watching the updates on the war here. However, one thing stood out to me in this video that feels to sway too far from the norm. It may have been worded poorly, so I wanted to explain and ask first. You mention: Ukraine ran a deficit of 38B$, with a note about hoping others will help pay it, and Russia ate 1/3 of their "budget," stating, "it does not seem sustainable." I think both sides sound unsustainable here, especially with your comments about NATO possibly pressuring Ukraine to find peace and the inability of the west to continue funding in perpetuity. Altogether, your statement about budgets and the previous one mentioned feel balanced, but the statement about budgets alone does not. Is there more to the Russian budget issue than was provided in the video that makes it feel less sustainable than Ukraine's position, or is this an issue with the editing of the script/video that caused the imbalance to appear? Thanks 🙂

The issue is that Russia does not have the allies the way Ukraine does. China and India buy their oil at a huge discount and no one is willing to help them just to help them. Issue #2 is the fact that as an attacking nation it does not enjoy the factor of having the population on the war footing. Putin's entire "social contract" with Russian society is built on a simple premise - "I am going to do whatever I want without bothering you much". The moment Russia goes to a full war economy, Putin has lost the game.

That was great additional context. Thank you!

One mind. Russian airforce failed due to Ukrainian mid - and long-range air defenses such as S300 and BUK, not because small and portable stingers and Gepards. Gepards are not even used against russian air forces. It is longer ranged weapons that forced russian aircraft to fly low and inside range of those hand-held weapons.

For months I’ve been told that Bakhmut will fall any day. BAKHMUT STILL HOLDS.

@@derrickjenkins2455 Stalingrad was held at 90% by N*zis but it was the battle that started the German's retreat from the eastern front ;)

[@biomaniac22]

​@@derrickjenkins2455 But still not taken. Sad showing by the "second" greatest military force on earth. Oh and it's more like 50% of Bakhmut is under Russian control.

[@mfh6982]

@@biomaniac22 Facts schmacts. Trying to teach a Russian that facts matter is like trying to get them to stop smelling like rotten cabbage. #Futile.

[@biomaniac22]

​@@AB-uc5vj No evidence of this. The Ukrainians appear to still be in a position to withdraw if needed, and are not pouring in troops as you would expect with a "honey pot".

[@joaop4585]

It is indeed amazin the amount of cope amount Bakmuht fall. Ukraine gonna lose it (if you atill doesnt count more than 50% taken). But the amount of kd ration was really good to Ukraine.

[@Angrenost02]

There was a twitter campaign for Wagner to get more ammunition? What a time we live in.

[@Markfr0mCanada]

I'm sure Zelon didn't mind his $44 billion platform being used for that ;)

[@Tomi-oe5mz]

*Social media campaign. Not sure I heard Twitter mentioned.

[@MrGksarathy]

I also wonder which actual, non troll people actually support Wagner?

[@CakeofWisdom]

Pretty much everyone on the line of contact is complaining about not having enough ammunition.

[@TheMarquisofDeath]

I love everything you all do. Thanks for for keeping us informed ❤

[@albogypsy2842]

If you call lame USANATO propaganda 'informed'.. this channels started with historical videos, wtf is this cr4p? CNN?

[@rcgunner7086]

What are BARS battalions? You're using the icon for light infantry, but I don't recall hearing the definition of the acronym.

[@Mahrac126]

It's a Military Reserve unit that was established in 2021 that is _supposed_ to be involved in training.

[@fads90]

Waiting for Bakhmut to fall is like that never ending Truck GIF. I've felt like it's gonna fall imminently for like 3 months now.

[@disregardthat]

it's Mariupol all over again. "two more weeks" for three months.
