As a Korean, I will explain the situation. South Korea has 4 million shells just before the expiration of its expiration date and has enough Patriot missiles and atacms for Ukraine. You can look at it for 60 years as a quasi-war system in preparation for North Korea. However, Korea has maintained strategic ambiguity. That's why we've maintained friendly relations with Russia, accepted the position of our ally, the United States, and provided Ukraine with weapons of non-lethal. What is worrisome is that Putin is trying to use military cooperation with North Korea, which South Korea has defined as a red line, as a pressure card, and in the end, South Korea is sincerely looking for the degenerate ambiguity and justification for nuclear possession that South Korea has traditionally maintained. If Trump is elected, South Korea will tolerate its nuclear weapons, and South Korea will have 12 to 20 nuclear missiles within six months. China will not be happy with South Korea's nuclear weapons. We have entered the New Cold War era, and peace will be broken.

They took over roughly half of the town located north of the Vovcha river meaning they took maybe 25-30% of the town and where subsequently pushed back out by the UA after massive bombardments with western munitions and subsequently huge losses to Russia.

The recalcitrance to allowing Ukraine to use long range weapons is that "they" the Ukrainians dont use them. Meaning nato/western troops are maintaining, programing and doing everything but pushing the green button. The targeting is given from nato intelligence satellites,, so a long range cruise missile 98% managed from nato troops is several orders of magnitude more significant than some special forces coaching the Ukraine to use closer range weapons. As far as tactical nuclear weapons used being the catalyst for nato troops on the ground in Ukraine,, The use of tnp by Russia would cause a reassessment of the history of the events that led to this war and there could be a watershed change of blame assignment for this tragedy. If it was assessed by the general public that they have been measurably misled, public enthusiasm for continued risk and destruction might be greatly reduced. Thank you for an interesting channel, 🙏

OF COURSE it goes back to concern about escalation. What other reason could there be? I have no doubt we'll CONTINUE to relax the restrictions - I expect a whole road map for that exists, probably orchestrated across all of the Western nations. I feel quite sure Macron's recent comments re: French boots in Ukraine was part of a plan made by all of our governments. I definitely understand that you people on the east side of the Atlantic have "extra concerns" that the US doesn't have to be burdened with. I think from the American perspective the only "catastrophic" outcome of this whole business would be a nuclear exchange. We want to help and we are helping, but we're doing so in a way that we think minimizes the chance of such an exchange.

Manoeuvre warfare is unlikely to get going meaningfully because Ukr doesn't have the manpower to generate an advantage and is hamstrung by being forced to fight on its own soil alone. Russia can throw stuff at Ukr until the cows come home. It is hard not to be gloomy about the long term prospect.

I sppose you could make some calculations regarding arms production, look at military budgtets and so on. But it is simple to see that, relative to gaining North Korea as a supplier to arms (and this is not new; North Korea has already supplied shells to Russia for two years), as opposed to South Korea, that the difference is huge Putin has provided South Korea with the political cover to openly supply Ukraine (which also is not new). And threatening South Korea just makes that aid easier to give.

Excellent interview.👍I have always enjoyed Maj. Gen. Ryan's intelligence, up-to-date knowledge, relevant analysis & willingness to get straight to the point! That's what all supporters of Ukraine need from expert guests!👍 I will just add one point: NATO doctrine for land warfare presupposes that the attacking NATO force has achieved - at minimum - local air superiority along the intended axis of advance. With that in mind, the hypothetical question posed regarding where Ukraine would be right now if the west had been one step ahead of the game could have the following answer: IF 'the West' had wanted to enable Ukraine to have maximum success in 2022 & 2023, it would have provided sufficient amounts of the equipment that NATO doctrine would have demanded for any NATO force! That would have included Patriot air defence systems, long-range ATACMS, medium & long-range cruise missiles (Storm Shadow, SCALP & Taurus, etc., etc., etc AND training Ukrainian pilots on F16s during 2022/20023 so that they would have been ready to destroy Russian attack helicopters, artillery batteries, defensive fortifications, etc. and otherwise support the 2023 counter-offensive.🤔 Given how vulnerable Russian mechanized forces, command & control, air defences, logistics, ammo dumps, air bases, naval assets, troop concentrations, oil processing plants, etc have proven to be, it seems to me that, IF Ukraine had the same capabilities in 2022/2023 that it has now, Russia's hold on any occupied territory would be extremely tenuous at best, Ukraine would have - at minimum, liberated all of Kherson & Zaporizhzhia, more of Luhansk & Donetz oblasts, and perhaps Ukraine would have gotten a toehold in strategically crucial Crimea by now. Most certainly, millions of Ukrainian civilians would no longer be under the absolutely brutal oppression of Russian occupying forces!🤔 Unfortunately, the U.S.A., Germany etc. chose to micro-manage Ukraine's ability to fight the Russians, probably with the intention of enabling the Ukrainians to defend themselves, while at the same time ensuring that the Russians did not experience any tactically crushing, strategically catastrophic defeats....a policy which appears to remain in place, at the expense of thousands upon thousands of Ukrainian lives, civilians included.😡
