Serious question here y’all. Do you think Russia would still have invaded Ukraine if it had kept all of those nuclear weapons from the fall of the Soviet Union?

[@RobOfTheNorth2001]

The ICBMs would have been stripped and the nuclear material sold. Ukraine was incredible corrupt after the fall of the Soviet Union and a ton of Soviet weapons got sold to arms dealers by corrupt military leaders. Plus ICBMs aren’t of use against invaders.

[@VoiceOfTheEmperor]

Ironically enough, that point is moot on BOTH sides of that argument. Their nuclear arsenal is HORRIBLY under or un-maintained. There was a 1990s inspection that found that the materials for the upkeep for ICBMs was WOEFULLY under what was considered the bare minimum for acceptable. Like rocket fuel and basic upkeep of their missiles and their housing silos. So everything is basically falling apart in that area. And that was in the 1990s. Aka, 30 years ago. So imagine how bad a shape their rockets must be NOW.

@@RololoTheOneAndOnly Let's check back in once Putin's National Wealth Fund runs out of hard currency and gold in Q1/Q2 2025 and he can't plug budget deficits anymore. He'll have two options: 1. Borrow from China (unlikely as Chinese banks are already cutting Russia off due to sanctions and China is facing their own impending economic debt crisis) or 2. Print money and hope hyperinflation isn't too bad. And that's not even getting into their dwindling Soviet equipment stockpiles being exhausted before the end of next year. Reportedly Uralvagonzavod can only manufacture 4 to 5 T-90M's _per month._ Also the damage to Russia's oil/gas infrastructure every day by Ukrainian drones, which is wholly unsustainable economically. Putin's only shot is Trump winning and cutting off aid to Ukraine. So when he loses the election, I think we'll start to see a real change in Putin's approach and he'll start seriously talking about a retreat and peace plan.

So you say Ukraine is losing its territory and getting bombed 24/7 for 2 years straight but somehow zelensky will win by invading some farms. The truth is Russia is advancing in Donetsk thanks to sheer numbers and ukraine army has run out soldiers and is depedent in foreignt aid. Very fragile for ukraine, infastructure destroyed, not enough soldiers, population emigrated. Stretching its forces is the worst idea ever and will lead to even quicker collapse

[@alexjackyperson101]

If russian continue to attack were they are, it will be a lost, they have to defend the country before Ukraine goes to deep in the country, basically they have to move over thousands of troops in a month but it will get harder since winter is coming up

[@fluteferret1129]

@@alexjackyperson101 You don't care about Ukraine, you just care about Russia losing and that makes your assessment false. Ths is a war of attrition. And if you believe Russia will lose I remind you that thruo out history attrition is Russia's main waepon. Western allies keep sending arms in Ukr as an investement, because they believe Ukr will eventually win the war. But if they figure that they losing money on it they will detatch and Ukr will be forever lost. IMO this was Zelensky's final bet to convince the US and Eu that the investment stands. But it doesn't. Putin is determined to turn Ukr into european Iraq. A lost cause. Us understands that and they won't risk escalation ( China)

There is no Belgorod invasion, what are you even talking about? There are some border confrontations for sure but you're making some pretty big logical jumps to assume that it's a full scale invasion with some territorial gains. There is just no evidence of that at all. The state of emergency was proclaimed in Bryansk oblast too, should we assume the third ukrainian invasion there as well?

I'm thinking the invasion into Russia is a 2 for 1 on getting Ukrainian territory back. Yes they could negotiate with that territory. Also if you can pull enough manpower off of the front lines they might be able to retake some of the lost territory. As a bonus it is very embarrassing to Putin.

[@tortimachump591]

After the breakup of the Soviet Union, Ukraine knew damn well that Russia would want to try to take its land back, even when they signed a deal to hand over their cold war nukes for peace (with the prodding of the US). So Ukraine spent decades perfecting doctrines that would counter Russias mass warfare doctrine, as they knew full well how they employed it since WWII. It seems to be working wonders as they have the superiority in doctrine over a nation 10x their size!

[@masoodjalal1152]

I think you are doing a diservice to your audience by making them believe something that is not entirely true. The maps are also trying to portray more land captured in Kursk than the reality. The video also comes at a time when Russian counter offensive has started and pushed Ukraine significantly back, while Ukraine is still trying to go for a second assault at Glushkovo (also in Kursk). As for Belgogrod, i dont think Ukraine would attempt that as Russia has already established a buffer in Karkhiv. Dont fool people into thinking that Kursk is aimed to slow Russian advances in Donbass, as that has failed. Russian pace increased more than 2X after the Kursk attack and now They are at striking distance of Pokrovsk. If the goal was to divert troops from Donbass it failed because Russia had a lot of spare reserves which were used in Kursk instead of diverting forces from Donbass. Lengthning the front is only useful for countries with spare resources to engage at that, Ukraine has no reserves that can be used elsewhere. When Kursk happened, Ukraine pulled troops from Donbass to Kursk, and now they are pulling troops from Kursk to Donbass. They also diverted troops from Donbass to Karkhiv when the incursion happened. So in this situation Expanding the line means Russian defence will thin out, but you didnt mention Ukraine will also have a much thinner force allong the whole frontline. As for attrition, it is not wise to use estimates from a warring party and if you are doing so, i would advice to share statistics for both sides. Sure Russia lost 620k soldiers, Can you tell the numbers for Ukraine? In reality the casualities are much lower and even under 300k for both Ukraine and Russia combined where Ukraine has suffered slightly more than Russia. The longer the war wages on, the situation will continue to get worse for Ukraine as they are getting short on manpower, they have started grabbing people off from streets to fight, which will not do them good, compared to that Kursk incursion resulted in significant number of people volunteering for the war. So it may not end well, if the war drags on. The point is, you need to be realistic and not fill people head with unrealistic expectations. The same happened in Armenia-Azerbaijan war, where people were making these type of videos about Armenia winning when in Reality Azerbaijan was winning. The day Armenia negotiated people were surprised. They were wondering why did Armenia surrender when they were winning. So it is better to show reality instead of delusions. Thanks.
