[daniel santiago urtado]

Your channel is among the Best!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[BOOZ]

Never Say NEVER 😎 Justin Bieber

[Stubbleboy]

So are we skipping Pacific War this week?

[Interstellarsurfer]

Only the things we personally agree with must be true. 😉👍

[Am I Enabled?]

I think the funniest thing everyone overlooks is that with how big the pentagon is there's a 100% chance foreign agencies were following this case. This means some Japanese,Russian,Chinese etc had to explain to his colleagues or maybe even head of state wtf a thug shaker is

[KouHer]

Similar to how the US military had to be briefed on the concept of "Naruto running."

[Fintan]

@KouHer 😂 I didnt think about that back then, but you’re right that probably did happen. Im sure it was just a footnote, but still.

[Lessinath]

@Fintan I have it on good authority there was a whole powerpoint on it. (Or rather, an entire powerpoint on memes and stuff around the "area 51 raid".) And that, if anything, is proof that while we may not live in the best timeline, at least we live in a funny one.

[Dan Sickles' Missing Leg]

Thugu Sheika Senturaru

[Canadious]

It is so weird seeing a history channel talking about Mongols and Byzantines talk about modern geopolitics. Like suddenly it reminds you that all that stuff is in the same timeline. It's weird

[Joe M]

@Bhodisatvas A fellow intelligent human. How rare... I 100 percent agree.

[Harry Hanz]

@Bhodisatvas Wow! This was almost a mantra with my late grandfather. He always said the Entente had doomed us to never ending war in one shape or another.

[Ryan Nguyen]

Wars never change.

[John D.]

@Bhodisatvas We are still fighting the Fall of Rome.

[Ye Huang]

Considering how biased the war in Ukraine videos are, they are probably paid to do them.

[Franky_a_92]

It’s crazy, I started following this channel in fall 2021 because of my fascination with history and wars. Now you’re covering the current big war with the same outlook. Keep up the good work

[Mooncake]

😂 it's crazy because in the future they will probably be looking at these videos to analyse our viewpoints on this war and maybe look at the comments and comment on them.

[Alexander I]

Love this map style makes it feel continuous with the historical videos, as if we are living in history, which we are

[Matt Grandich]

Agreed, it’s not just ancient to premodern history but basically real time history that is being covered by this channel. All feels very organic, like we’re all in for one wild ride.

[MrFoxyCracker]

​@Matt Grandich what makes it even more interesting is me is that we're getting more information than any other general population has had throughout history. Not to mention the plentiful groups disseminating such. And in my opinion we already know more about what's going on in this war than we know about what happened in WW2, but I have no evidence to back it up and is purely head canon.

[sam8404]

@MrFoxyCracker I wouldn't say that considering the probably thousands of people (at this point) who dedicated their entire lives to studying WW2.

[MrFoxyCracker]

@sam8404 that's a valid point, I just mean with OSINT there's photographic evidence of losses, videos of actual engagements, drone strike videos, so on so forth But you may honestly be correct, I was primarily thinking about how much has just been lost to time, the Nazis destroyed a huge number of documents, and the Soviet union and later Russia never really released their archives save but some of curated (I believe, could be wrong) and to some degree inaccurate (again could be wrong, but misreporting intentionally was a common theme for them) content.

[dstar]

Just imagine in 100 years someone might look at our comments just as well as we for example can look at videos from the year 1923 now.

[Nunya _]

Video starts @ 2:58

[Bax365]

Real

[Use_Anonymo]

Thanks mate

[Dean]

I’m gonna need you to do this at the start of all K&G videos now.

[Josh Robinett]

Phew, that POV animation of the grenade dropping from the drone hit hard. Just a glimpse into what thousands of soldiers have seen in final moments the past year. Well done to whichever team member made that, unexpectedly powerful.

[cloudpoint]

This channel makes history feel like it happened in my lifetime.

[sam8404]

I get what you're saying but this one actually did happen in your lifetime lol.

[Nexon]

@sam8404 woooooosh

[Aothis]

The fact that a 21 year old had access to classified information sensitive to geopolitical situations is completely mind blowing.

[Mark Wiebe]

And without sufficient supervision. My brother is in the Canadian military and you can't even take in your phone or even go to the bathroom alone when you are around highly sensitive documents.

[Maxon Langevin]

The information that was leaked was mostly already known information, the kid really only had access to low low level fruit. He was just made an example

[Jonathan Kessler]

every college intern the nsa has is granted security clearance or they can't be an intern.

[ThatBlueFalcon]

​@Mark Wiebe He printed them off and took them home. He was warned multiple times not to view documents he didn't need to see and he kept doing it anyways. His leadership is under investigation now too and they should all be fired/possibly arrested

[ThatBlueFalcon]

​@Maxon Langevin that was not "low level fruit" and this information was not known lmao. Idk where you got that idea from

[Alex Lee]

Leak also had major political effect in South Korea as it was exposed that USA had been bugging Korean goverment regarding Korea's plan to support Ukraine. Because current goverment is pro US and leaning toward anti China Korean goverment did not make it a big deal but many Korean people were annoyed that US who always says Korea is one of their most important ally was infact bugging Korea.

[5678sothourn]

Allies spy on allies

[Connor]

But from everyone else's point-of-view, if ROK doesn't help the west why should the west help ROK? With the reduction in draftable population you would've thought they'd have used this war to make useful friends

[Alex Lee]

@5678sothourn Yeah sure but getting caught doing it is different matter

[Alex Lee]

@Connor Korea has been most supportive country to Ukraine outside Europe and US, perhaps similar level with Japan. Russia had criticized Korea multiple times for it.

[Benjamin Lynch]

Spies are going to spy. It’s what they do. Realistically, the CIA & NSA are conducting espionage in every country throughout the world. Every national leader knows this and has for many decades.

[Mark]

3:15 I really like this map! As a feed back note: it might be worth adding occupation stripes to the affected regions of Georgia.

[Joe]

This channel makes ancient history feel recent, and recent history feel ancient.

[Adheet Sequeira 9 C 41]

I comment rarely but ...... well I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your excellent productions. I owe all my knowledge of this subject to you and other KZbin channels. For a student like me who cannot afford to buy many books it is really a blessing to see ( and learn) unbiased true history. Please don't stop. Will become a patron whenever I can. Thank you. God bless you.

[Kings and Generals]

Thanks for the kind words!

[Adheet Sequeira 9 C 41]

@Kings and Generals 🙏

[BlueMystic]

@Adheet Sequeira 9 C 41 you indian?

[Mike Modugno]

Thanks K&G

[Adheet Sequeira 9 C 41]

@BlueMystic yes

[David Hughes]

The very best in depth coverage of this conflict. I've said it before and I will keep saying it. Kings and Generals thank you so much for your work!!

[Connor Golden]

I’d like to see a video about various tactics or pieces of equipment that have had the biggest effects on the war! From drones to javelins to tanks to Wagner or the territorial defense battalions!

[Markus Kekero]

This is probably going to be the most documented war for a long time

[Jamie Lonsdale]

Looking like an average of 5,000 views per hour over the course of the first day! It's about time this channel began to receive the recognition it so rightly deserves!!!

[Butter_Warrior99]

Nothing like leaking classified documents on a minecraft discord server.

[ralph roger flora]

War Thunder is jealous

[The Other OhlourdesPadua]

​@ralph roger flora Then again, they have been hogging that privilege for far too long. Let some other game experience another national security and intelligence failure...

[ThatBlueFalcon]

Not for Minecraft. It was a group of guys who enjoyed the same KZbinr and war game that I forgot the name of (not War Thunder lol)

[P]

Actually it was wowmao's server which makes it even more hilarious

[Andrew Alderman]

Well, at least it wasn't Porn hub

[Fennrir First]

More content like this for sure! Maybe even a third channel for political happenings.

[Sergiy Lebedev]

Interested to know how the US punished the unfortunate lad who allowed the docs to spread...

[SilverHorizon]

Can't wait for future military history classes and textbooks to seriously analyze the leaks being spread on Thug Shaker Central TM.

[Artim Kalash]

Maybe a new channel in the making, Presidents and Generals?

[Bhabi Lover]

It's good the way it is

[Nathan Wilson]

Thank you for the information about these leaks. I didn't know much about the specifics of it. This is my primary news source on the war in Ukraine these days. God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)

[Ambient Light Of Darknesss]

It's kind of crazy to think our generation will probably never know the whole truth in this war. We take it for granted we know almost every single detail of the world wars, who fought where, why, how was it all made, shipped and how every army fought. What were their strategies and tactics? Almost every single "top secret" plan is just common knowledge to history buffs now. But to people who experienced the conflict and history... they'll never get to know it.

[Long Forgotten]

As a master student of World War II history, we know plenty about the second world war. We still don’t know everything. The general public certainly does not know everything. Due to the amount of records about the Ukrainian Russian conflict, I bet it will be the most recorded war in history in every medium. The difficulty will be sifting through the details, propaganda, and variety of sources.

[The Other OhlourdesPadua]

We actually don't know ALL of WW2 primarily due to government statutes keeping it under wraps like Britain's Official War Secrets Act which is set to expire around 2039. Russia... How do I put this? There is a reason why David Glantz's books on the Eastern Front were the gold standard in truly understanding that theater as access to the Soviet Archives has been unavailable for Western scholars since 2003...

[Mooncake]

I was thinking this a few days ago, the propaganda and secrets in this war are so much. Maybe 20 years from now we will learn so many things.

[Larry's Water]

The Japanese military destory many of their documents before being captured.

[Çağatay Aksu]

Turkey selling weapons to Wagner or even Wagner asking for them seems extremely unlikely, since Wagner and Turkish backed mercenaries has fought on opposite sides in Libya and in Syria. Am I missing something?

[Yaldabaoth]

Money and shady businessmen.

[Ikramuddin Zwane]

I guess that's why the are mercenaries, they are guns for hire. They are only loyal to their paymasters and for the during of the contract.

[D L]

Everyone is friends when money is involved.

[Ikramuddin Zwane]

@D L 100%

[wakka chaka]

So they've worked together before. That's about all that means.

[Stubbleboy]

I figured we’d get a Pacific War video today since there wasn’t one on Tuesday.

[Kings and Generals]

It will be published on Saturday. Sorry for the delay.

[LEFT4BASS]

@Kings and Generals you don’t need to apologize. You guys are providing an incredible, high-quality, week-by-week documentary on the pacific war, free of charge. It’s worth the wait

[Zoran Pavlović]

Great channel. I've heard most of that on CNN and Al Jazeera however much better maps and animations makes it look more real.

[Travis Webb]

Fantastic video, thanks for breaking down the leaks.

[CroatianGambler]

As a 22 year old in the army national guard don’t you talk about my people like that. We deserve access to the highest documents the US can muster

[Chabelita Pitufina]

I hope someone sits this kid down and shows him exactly how much damage he has done. I hope they also explain to him IN DETAIL the SEVERE consequences his irresponsiblility has created for real human beings, families, villages and entire countries!!

[Jordan Scherr]

I think the counter offensive is gonna have a lot more impact than the pentagon thinks. There's some serious potential here to use Shock and Awe to legitimately route Russian forces. Now, taking back Crimea, that's another matter. Putin will do whatever it takes to not let that happen, but the fact remains he's a delusional man.

[NiklasMJ]

yeah i mean the pentagon and many top level US generals was sure Russia would win the war in 3 days and have the Ukranians capitulate.. the 3 day war thing was actually a US thing not a Russian estimate, they thought they would win in about 2 weeks so not that much different but yeah, shows you that while the US intel gathering is extremely great, their predictions need a lot of work. also this leak didn't take recent events into account, (cuz they hadn't happened yet) like storm shadows completely decimating a lot of shit, and the UKR counter offensive preps in which they have hit many vital elements such as fuel and ammo storages, not to mention the incursions into Russia that forces them to re allocate some backline forces which means any UA breakthrough in the right direction could be extremely damaging to Russia in the same way the Kharkiv/Izium counter offensive prayed on the lack of backline troops and the low density of frontline personal that the Ruzkies had in the area.

[Jailed Twice]

@NiklasMJ You probably didn't see vid compilation of Russians propagandists and experts, some gave even a day, for example, RT's editor-in-chief - Margarita Simonyan gave Ukraine a 2 days.

[NiklasMJ]

@Jailed Twice yeah but does Simonyan have any military position or actual knowledge of how to conduct a war or asses whether or not an attack or war would be succesfull? no not really so what does her opinion matter in this?

[Mike Modugno]

Thank you for sharing. Praying for the situation.

[RC Gunner]

Regarding the Ukrainian SAM situation- I'm not sure that leak made any difference. IIRC, this concern had been in the air for weeks prior to this leak, so it wasn't exactly news. Perhaps confirmation though.

[The Christian Norwegianist]

For the next video, can you make a video about Medieval Norway from the end of the civil war to the union with denmark?

[Yannick Dynamic]

Your videos never disappoint!

[HillBilly]

Excellent video as always K&G. Cheers from Tennessee

[daniel santiago urtado]

Love your content!😊😊😊❤❤❤

[para sf]

Thank you k&g for one more wonderful video

[Charles Christner]

Jack was trying to impress young boys on the internet, ended up in a military prison. Crime doesn't pay but Jack will 😂

[random guy]

love the music choice here and as always the voice of K&G is amazing

[manish]

PLZ MORE LIKE THIS CURRENT GEOPOLITICS VIDEOS VERY INTERESTING LIKE MOVIES LUV U

[Alexandru Pinzaru]

Amazing work guys!

[Marvin The Martian]

The US military has a long history of trying to scapegoat jr enlisted personnel when something happens that could embarrass the service. They did it with the USS Iowa explosion and more recently, the Bonhomme Richard fire. It may turn out that this kid is guilty of what they say. But I've learned from experience to wait and see for the whole story to come out before passing judgment.

[Primarch Vulkan]

He appears to be pretty damn guilty, his chain of command is also guilty of dereliction of duty for not taking more serious action against him sooner tho

[Solowarrior1221]

@Primarch Vulkan Do you really think the guy's superiors are going to face punishment? Because i have a bridge to sell you if you do.

[Primarch Vulkan]

@Solowarrior1221 The base CCs were both fired from command which if you served you know is a dead career for an officer so yea they both lost their careers but no its not as much as I'd like. I don't need the bridge thank you

[Primarch Vulkan]

@Mirokuofnite They didn't actually leak the info though so losing their CC jobs and very likely their careers is probably adequate punishment and that so far appears to be the case

[Zaki 2 Dunya]

As a former USAF member with secret clearance and FOIA training, I can see he was the fall guy. Seriously....

[Jamie Lonsdale]

To the company making Ridge wallets, my 'dad' was a cheating scumbag who abandoned my family when he got caught. I wouldn't buy my father a chipboard casket, nevermind a wallet that I wouldn't even buy for myself 😂

[guy brassard]

again another great produced video; wow...

[William Gray]

I got a good laugh this morning until i had my coffee and watched this video. I saw your title about the "Pentagon Leaks" and thought you guys were doing a rehash about the "Pentagon Papers". In the future i will make an effort to drink my coffee first before I go to this channel😜

[jrdsm]

Ok william

[Colonel Georgios Papdopoulos]

Now we need to see you analyse Prighozin’s video

[Kings and Generals]

Coming soon

[Thomas Van de Velde]

What video? I cant find it right away, a link?

[Jonnathan Malkowich Snow]

@Thomas Van de Velde Shogy! Gerasimov!

[Isaac Apenteng]

Everything was correct except number of casualties that was altered by russian agents. Right. Why didnt they alter all the other information that made them look bad?

[Kings and Generals]

You can look at both versions of the documents and tell me which one you feel is edited.

[ImperialSublimeEmpire]

Love the old map style!

[Anthony Perno]

A new retronym: "Crewed Surveillance" plane -- now needed to separate from drone surveillance.

[Jack Jones]

When was this originally produced? He mentioned the Ukrainian counterattack being expected on 01 April but this is 01 June!

[Masterhitman935]

Probably due to opsec

[skun406]

@Masterhitman935 what's an opsec?

[quicksilver0201]

April's fools date?

[jungsbodyguard]

Many of these leaks are saying something was going to happen, you pointing out it didn’t, then saying there must have been some change of plan. Isn’t it just as likely it was just bad intelligence? Hardly like the Pentagon are any strangers to that. The more interesting parts are the ones about US priorities/intentions

[Rob Babcock]

Great info!

[Rezo Kiladze]

Would be better if you included the screenshots and more details.

[Smpk]

The animation is really beautiful

[God bless the less fortunate]

So according to the leaks, Ukraine was supposed to have ran out of Buk missiles 1.5 months ago and S300 missiles 1 month ago, How have they been able to still repel recent stepped up Russian drone and missile attacks day after day?

[Baron von Limbourgh]

Patriot.

[Nero Bernardino]

the drones are being fought with AA machineguns, funnily enough.

[Phiusmes]

Ukraine has received a number of sophisticated SAM systems. Not enough, but they've mastered the systems quickly.

[Quinn Campbell]

Like we finding out now, America/The West doesn't care if UA hits Russia land, they just won't risk them using wester weapons to hit them and only hit ukrine land with them included Crimea in that. Nato won't want to risk using weapons on Belgorod or Moscow with nato weapons to risk escalatio. But ukrine has its own domestic missle and drone programs, but not alot, but they will use domestic for strikes in Russia, and foreign for occupation spots.

[Mar Cello]

Looks like other intelligence agencies will have to take note of this.

[Jasenko Salihović]

Did anybody considered these leaks were maybe planed and these information released as a move to trick Russians. If you look closely most of those informations were already well known, but two most important ones are lack of STA misiles and lack of trust from Washington in ability of UA to achieve major win in coming ofensive. That could very well be the point of these leaks, mix the well known information with these two to give credibility to leaked documents and create false sense of security in Russian Army before UA starts its ofensive. Every little advantage matters in war, so this may well be a way to get advantage before hugely important events that will follow in near future?

[Stanley Davidge]

no. This seems way too messy and bad for American interests to be planned.

[Blorf]

oh come on that is such a copium

[Chakravartin]

Super copium indeed. Cope so hard, thinking Ukraine fighting against a video game bot that can't think that the leaks are legit or not

[ThatBlueFalcon]

​@Blorf it's not copium, it's a legitimate possibility. Copium is believeing the 4chan doctored documents that showed "170,000" Ukranian soldiers were killed 😂

[Ryan Walters]

​​@ThatBlueFalcon facts! and it called out nations sending weapons to Russia. Also confirmed the amount killed and Wagner leader confirmed the numbers are at least in the ballpark for the Russian side.

[Enclave Emily]

Hello, FBI agent here - I have come to give my condolences for your accidental death via 23 gunshots to the back of the chest (it was in a dark forest right by a big ditch - accidents happen) For real though, thanks for talking about it, it was frustrating seeing people ignore the contents or just parrot the photoshopped ones

[Butter_Warrior99]

Nothing like covering up my suicide.

[Bingl]

On point

[R3GARnator]

That's more the KGB style.

[Zaki 2 Dunya]

I admire your work during Continelpro during the 60sm sending my regards to Hoover in hell 😅

[Vlado Vladimirović]

You forgot Bakhmut bro, what is happening? 😂

[Alex Setiawan]

very interesting content for us IDU students

[Sean Carney]

Back in the first month I was worried that there was the possibility that Russia could blugen Ukraine to death just like the union did to the confederacy in the Civil War, now I'm certain that's impossible. 1. Union loses in the Civil War were 50% higher than Confederate loses whereas Russian Casualties are around 100% higher than Ukrainian loses. 2. The Confederacy didn't have the moral high ground and thus didn't have adequate support from the world powers. 3. The Union army wasn't rife with corruption the way Russia is. 3.5. The Confederate government couldn't enforce a total war. 4. Both the Union and Confederate armies had good Leaders and good doctrine with the Union notably having Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan who were way ahead of their time. Ukrainian Commanders were western trained and have superior doctrine, that's not even mentioning Oleksandr Syrskyi. This isn't to say I'm comparing Ukrainian to the Confederacy or calling Ukraine a breakaway Providence of Russia. And I'm certainly not comparing Putin to Lincoln!!😧🤯

[YesterYear Dude]

I still can't believe the US government gave a 21 year olds access to something like this, have you guys not check what 21 years olds do on social media?

[Anna-Flora]

Assuming it's actually real data

[Steve Osborne]

Apparently there is about 1 million people in the US who could possibly have access to something like this via security clearances

[Bošnjo Dobri]

It leaked on purpose

[Adam Cuneo]

A 21 year old is an adult, not a child, he was also in the military, so what are you going on about?

[Orlando pena]

@Steve Osborne No, not really, what they forget to say, is even if you have the clearance, doesn't mean you get to view it, as its all compartmentalize. This guy didn't even get it by normal means either. He's sure going to feel the consequences for it though.

[Dylan Frank]

I love your videos, but I really recommend that you put a Spanish audio track also because I speak Spanish and I’ll be able to understand your videos better and you’ll gain a bunch of other new followers and people who only speak Spanish

[Kings and Generals]

We would love to do that, but that is quite expensive

[Nick Nack]

bestie videos about Ukraine, thx, you help me with language)

[Jess Tarn]

I always thought Bob Lazarre was a operative and the whole leak was intentional. Because he would be dead if it wasn't no?

[Kings and Generals]

Probably just an idiot who wanted to get online clout. I don't think he was a spy for another country or anything like that.

[RomenGodwill]

Yeah, i was waiting for a video to come out about the leaks.

[Beniamin Orzechowski]

Isn’t it possible that maybe the US government faked some of the leagues to tempt Russia?

[Primarch Vulkan]

What's more likely is that the documents leaked to show how bad off Ukraine is made Russia look so much worse. These same documents have russian spec ops at some 90% estimated casualties

[juve9le4cs]

What if they let the leaks and put some false information in them so the russians could believe them. And they would attack again only to be ambushed by the ukrainians? I find interesting the air defence section, because lately there were couple of air attacks in the last days from the russian side.

[ოდინიჩი]

I don't see the whole debacle over the leaks. Everything written there was basically well known information, OF COURSE NATO has personnel in Ukraine, making sure their donated weaponry and assets don't go to waste. They count every penny. There's training centers set up etc. None of this is new. What did people expect, tens of billions of dollars sent to Ukraine without people there to control where it's going?

[NBA young chonch]

Fr

[#Fuzzy 4 Life]

Report recently surfaced that Mexican drug cartels habe gotten their hands on American Javelin shoulder fired missiles. So the nato personnel have been doing a sheet job at making sure the weapons are ending up in the right place 😂

[ოდინიჩი]

@#Fuzzy 4 Life Cartels get American weapons all the time from the American government to fight other cartels that CIA likes less. Nothing new there.

[Yashuop]

Claim your “here within an hour” ticket right here🏆

[Albanian Fox]

Keep us updating on these leeks!

[Name Not Found]

I reckon Russia needs about 20% of it's total tank force to defend Russia, 40% of total artillery assets, 50% of APC and all other transport/maintenance vehicles. And 50-70% of offensive and defensive missile weapon systems to Stop Ukraine from going into Russian land unmolested. Looks like we are getting there folks.

[Jawad tahir]

Please make a video about the Russian summer offensive.

[Baron von Limbourgh]

He already made those months ago.

[Jawad tahir]

@Baron von Limbourgh New summer offensive loading..

[Baron von Limbourgh]

@Jawad tahir russia won't be offending anywhere this year. They will need many months to get enough men and stuff together to start offensive operations again.

[Ross Logie]

I've been amazed at the lack of help Ukraine has received from a number of European nations... What do they think happens to them Putin takes Ukraine?

[The Ridge]

Awesome wallet and KeyCase 🔥

[Arian Dito]

so when did all this happen? 200 years ago or something?

[Interstellarsurfer]

I know Ukraine is the flavor of the month and all, but I believe their losses are likely real. 🤷‍♂️

[Kurono Ch. ばか外人クロノ]

Well as of now the Russians had occupied Bakhmut. But by the way that they had conquered it, looks like Ukraine can mount a small counter-attack and be successful in reclaiming it.

[John D.]

What do you mean by that? That Ukraine has taken casualties? That the American estimate is correct? Or do you mean that you believe the poorly photoshopped document from pro-Russian sources?

[Baron von Limbourgh]

​@quadruple flat thumbs to mega infinity if that's true then russian kia must be well over half a million already. Bakhmut alone was already a turkeyshoot for ukraine..

[John D.]

@quadruple flat thumbs to mega infinity her actual statement was that “one hundred thousand Ukrainian military officers” had been killed. If she didn’t know the difference between an “officer” and a “soldier”, I doubt she would know the difference between “casualty” and “killed”. 100,000 casualties as of last December is in line with the Pentagon leaks which show about 120,000-130,000 Ukrainian casualties and 190,000-220,000 Russian casualties as of March.

[Amoroso Gombe]

These "leaks" seem mighty convenient.

[Rodger Bane]

The thing is, the US could give Ukraine enough firepower to win outright, JUST OUT OF SURPLUS. When the US says we are sending billions of $$$ worth of equipment, the thing left unsaid is almost all of the stuff sent is stuff that is just lying around anyway.

[MenacingWithVideos]

You should have gotten War Thunder to sponsor this video. They are the perfect sponsor!

[Wisewarna Nazara]

I still believe that this leak is by design. 😂

[adoredpariah]

Mmm, sounds like the US should start mass producing SAMs to send over at the very least, maybe something like that is already in the works though. I agree with the stance of not sending weapons that could significantly escalate things, but such primarily defensive systems we (US and allies) should be sending in abundance.

[Erdem Dalai Ayurbuni]

Funny how governmental secrets got easily leaked by a discord user.

[Johnny McClintock]

The fact the USA considers Egypt and Saudi Arabia as "Friends" and "allies" is so stupid on the USAs part

[Alex Krecu]

Another proxy war, not too hot, not too cold, juuuuust right, brought to you by the US war hawks. What irks me is the portrayal of Putin as the classical bad guy, when the story has so many more bad guys, and no good guys to speak of. In short: "Don't mind us, plebs, this doesn't concern you, unless you are in the line of fire, then rest assured, you died well and we thank you for your service." signed *whatever side is involved in this conflict* This being said, Kings and Generals, are you comfortable with not mentioning the gentleman's agreement dating back in the 90's, between NATO and Russia, that stipulates that NATO will not expand right next to Russia's borders and that Russia reserves the right to respond in force if something like that happens? It's not the first time NATO managed to turn brother nations against each other in order to further their own goals and then call it justice, or freedom or whatever term they chose to mask their true purpose. Given the situation at hand, both Pentagon and Kremlin should be held responsable for this war, along with their respective puppets.

[Kings and Generals]

Not a proxy war. No such agreement exists.

[Comented onakeyboard]

I'm pretty sure, that russia was allready aware, that Ukraine couldnt buy new S300 from Russia.

[Edenete Santana]

Remember when this was a history channel? It was so good before they locked away the history content behind a paywall and became a geopolitics channel.

[Kings and Generals]

Still a history channel, with the majority of the content historical.

[The Other OhlourdesPadua]

Don't act like war doesn't have geopolitics in it. The Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta is the endgame of the game of geopolitics between Athens and Sparta...

I needed this video

[Victor_D]

Has anyone considered the possibility that the "leak" is in fact a joint US/Ukraine disinformation operation? They could have released a bunch of genuine, but less critical documents to establish authenticity, while adding false information to (a) lure the Russians to expend their missiles in futile attacks on Ukr. cities (believing that they've got the Ukrainians on the ropes due to missile shortages) (b) make them believe the Ukrainians don't have sufficient strength to successfully counter-attack, thus inducing them to be more careless about using their reserves (c) mobilising support for Ukraine among the allies by making it look like the situation was more urgent than it really was. ?

[Elektrotehnik]

Would we play such 4D chess? Dilemmas, dilemmas... ^^ ❤

[Bruce Almighty]

The Establishment objective is to flatten Ukraine so they can rebuild it. Whether Ukraine wins or loses has no bearing on this objective. The leaked information supports this hypothesis because the West are restricting Ukraine’s capability to do anything but fight Wagner Group on Ukraine territory. Bonus for the Establishment is depopulating the area of a few hundred thousand proletariat in the process. Wars benefit the rich at severe cost to the poor. Stop fighting rich mans wars.

[Belmont79]

Can someone please tell me who won the pacific war? 🙄

[The Other OhlourdesPadua]

The sharks...

[Kilian Obermeier]

Just follow their weekly series😀. You will eventually find out...

[Giorgi Jioshvili]

Alliens

[LaserZhadow]

Well the leaks certainly did it's job. Drove a real wedge between USA/NATO and Ukraine and aided Putin in his conquest of Ukraine.

[Kings and Generals]

I don't see a wedge. Weapons are still flowing in, Ukraine is getting supported.

[Benjamin Lynch]

A wedge so big that F16 fighter jets have been pledged since the leaks. LOL

[Steve Osborne]

@Benjamin Lynch You beat me to the F-16s also the number of air Defence Systems has been increased . All in all there was very little in these documents that we didn’t already know it was nearly all available on open source intelligence . Most of the rest was just assessments much of which has already proven to be wrong .

[Baron von Limbourgh]

Must be a stealth wedge...

[LaserZhadow]

@Kings and Generals Well hope your right. Certainly expect this leak to be abused in 2024 elections I'm sure.

*"Cant wait for that Horn of African Video, Ancient Cushites, Macrobians, Land of Punt"*

[Amoroso Gombe]

Imagine asking a guy to negotiate peace with a burglar while he's still being burgled. Putin should withdraw from Ukraine and then lie to his people as usual that they won. They believe everything he says without any critical thinking anyway. May as well put that mentality to the service of peace. Russian troops can go home. Putin can stay in power and continue oppressing and robbing Russia. Problem solved.

[Zackary Adams]

Playing devil's advocate: it made sense to allow more people, like young air national guardsmen, to see classified data in response to 9/11 and the fact that terrorist activity was happening on U.S. soil with no U.S. domestic agents having access to much information. When Islamic Extremism is the primary enemy, this system of classified documents makes sense. When a centralized country/power is the enemy, this system does not. And, currently, both are threats.

The Thug got shaked, I repeat the thug got shaked

[William Young]

U.S. leaders have always underestimated Ukraine. NEVER underestimate a country fighting for their Freedom. With NATO weapons and the will to LIBERATE their own country under invasion by a genocidal mad man, Ukraine has the motivation and morale to retake their territory all the way to the Sea of Azov. (10:20)

[Colin T]

The people of Donetsk and Luhansk are the ones fighting for their freedom. Russia is helping them just as France helped the US in the war of independence.

6:07 When is it "misinformation" and when is it "a ruse"? 👀
