Putin is willing to tolerate any amount of suffering. As long as it's not his own.
It is Zelensky that sent 400,000 of his people to their deaths. Now the UK front is fracturing. Z wants to send even more to the ever expanding graveyards. The game is over. Isolated reports of "fragging" are grasping at straws.
How right you are. I think Russia is showing all the signs of a new revolution in the making. I’m not even slightly surprised to hear about these fragging incidents. Their demographics were looking pretty bad before this war began. Since then, they lost more than 1 million young males (from a pool of around 5 to 7 million) to emigrating draft dodgers. They must already be running very low on draftees from the outlying regions, where the, “Russians,” look different and speak different languages. But Putin knows he can’t risk tapping into the high population areas, like St Petersburg or Moscow, without sawing at the branch he sits on. I can’t see him getting away with using up his entire stock of cannon fodder before the people revolt, can you?
Perfectly describes the animal.
The ones tolerating suffering without wanting it are Ukraine soldiers who are being forced to fight Russia in a war whose outcome was known before the conflict. USA using Ukraine as a battering ram to be discarded after it’s broken.
@@projectedone How inciteful.
Commissar :" Glory to the first man to die ."
Soldiers :" You first , Commissar ."

*Guardsmen
🎯👍😅😅😅
What is "commisar"? Asking as Russian
The fragging will get much worse.
And then wait until the war actually ENDS…
By the time it does, everyone who’s left and returning to Russia will by majority be the most traumatized, fed up, and/or happily malevolent men in that part of Europe. And considering the ISIS attack in Russia not that long ago, something tells me we’re going to see scores of these veterans hook up with similar such groups.
(Pro-Russian/Anti-Ukraine comments can bite by [REDACTED] and- … Honeslty, how CAN you lot downplay incidents like 6:20?)
HAHAHAHHAHAHA YOU GYUS NUTS IF YOU THINK THIS IS TRUE
this didn't happen much at all for either Afghanistan war with Russia or U.s.a. Come to think of it, when was the last war where this level of team killing is going on? Must be a world record. This stories would make most Russian need an extra pint of vodka today!
the fragging will continue until moral improves
Yeah, there is no reason to think it will get better.
Apparently "hero" means "serf who dies as his tsar orders".
putin is wannabe Tsar. The Patriarch of Russian Orthodox Church KGB Kirill "accidently" called putin "Your Highness". putin wants to wear the Crown of the Tsar.
They are opposing genocide
Actually, exactly!
Some insights are just simply correct.
Meat drones
The whole vaunted Wagner group mutinied and started a march on Moscow. They only stopped because their leader Yevgeny Prigozhin was talked out of it but was murdered anyway. The Russian people along the road to Moscow as the Wagner troops passed cheered them on. This tells you everything you need to know...
The Wagner leaders families were believed to have been held hostage
They may have cheered but they didn't join in. Russians are bred to be serfs. It's not like communist revolution was a mass uprising. It was just a few people in Petrograd and everyone else was either on the front or just didn't care enough to oppose
There is no way Ukraine will welcome this Russian prisoner in who killed his fellow murdering comrades he is a Russian killer from prison taking his oppertunity to escape. Surely you know this. Do your research it's your program
Oh no another western monkey speaker. Prigozhin was never going to Moscow he was going to the military office because his contract finished and Russia wasn't renewing it. Secondly all people on his plane had hand grenade fragments in the parts. Russia wanted wanger in Africa it had no benefit to Russia to kill him. open your mind stop believing western media narrative it makes you stupid. I'm English not Russia.
You don't understand the situation at all. Prigozhin has never been against Putin. All his claims were against Shoigu. He literally said - "The Tsar is good, his boyars are bad" You can check it yourself if you watch the video of Prigozhin's address that day.
Never disturb the enemy when committing big mistakes.
😂😂😂
Tribute that comment to Napoleon Bonaparte.
@@alfredpaquin3563 It's common to say the phrase without commenting the origin when in smalltalk.
As bad as fragging is in any military, there is still another issue here: Exactly how many Ethnic (From; lets call it the "Grand Duchy of Moscow") Russians were killed or wounded as opposed to those from the Russian Federation? It would appear that Moscow is using up the provincials first before risking their political Heartland forces.
Yeah the poorer regions have over 10 times the amount of conscription than places with major cities. I heard this from someone living in Russia right now
Good insight
Have you just worked this out?
I doubt it's connected to ethnic policies much to be honest. It comes down to the fact that the poorer the region the more attractive military service is. Another factor to consider is that people in richer cities are more likely to have connections and the money to bribe recruitment officers to avoid conscription, also Russia probably doesn't want to disturb its major economic hubs much
Inversion accusatoire typique de la propagande ukrainienne.
Combien de citoyens de Kiev et de Lvov sont morts aux front?
Si vous n'êtes pas capable de répondre à cette question, c'est que vous êtes stupide et ne faites que colporter ce que la propagande ukrainienne vous raconte.
Le gouvernement de Kiev n'étant qu'un ramassis de sacs à merde, leur propagande est à leur image, de même que leurs supporters.
In Russia, officers frag their soldiers.
In mother Russia you don't frag officer's, officer's frag you.
And soldier frag back. Happy life...
@@ulfosterberg9116 deadliest version of football (soccer for you american infidels) i ever heard.
@@ulfosterberg9116 Yes, according to the story of fragging in (US army I guess) officer's where told to always be ready to throw a frag grenade back if it happened to them.
@xehpuk Well, that's unfortunate. More war hawks could have been taken out I'd they weren't warned. Luckily russians are dumb and probably won't be warned about the fregging problem.
Why the 57 year old fragged his own unit was because his elderly mother lived in Kharkiv and was seriously injured by Russian missile strikes. He took it out on his 6 comrades by shooting them in their sleep and following up with a second kill shot to the head.
He went John Wick on them.
Don't fuck with my mom!
@@carlossaraiva8213 interesting how you are glorifying mass murder... makes me question your sanity.
also if you rethink your comment you will see that there is really no similarity between those 2 instances besides killing ppl
interesting, taking out 6 fellow soldiers is mass murder but war? war is just war.
@@MrArkaneMageless 6 russia soldiers means more people are saved.
In the Ruzzian army everything works against you: your comrades, your officer, your defense minister who doesn’t care, your president who cares even less, your equipment, the terrain, guys from other branches and the finally: the enemy
Served in the Russian army? Or did you just pull that out of your ass?
Its mind blowing to me there hasn't been another coup.
@@drewmalesky9869 Probably because they aren't organized.
@@darnit1944 and compartmentalized.
@@drewmalesky9869 Russia used to be really good at revolutions, too. It's too bad the Prigozhin had to brag and bluster his way back to Moscow. All he had to do was tell Putin he was just coming back to pick up a pair of boots he forgot, and he could have waltzed into the Kremlin with 96 tanks.
Imagine telling them they are just worthless meat and not expecting to have this coming your way. Amazing Ruzki logic..
LL
Russians idolize this kind of expectation during war since the day are born. Check out the army parades for their toddlers. They just see it as a normal expectation.

A sudden outbreak of common sense.
Abuse in the Russian army is well documented. I am not surprised by this at all
Unlikely...... This is ruzzia, common sense seems to not exist at all....
'Stop douchebag' (StopXam) people might be the only ones that have some sense in them.
I saw on a different channel that said why he killed the people in his unit. He was apparently from the Eastern part of Ukraine and was drafted into the Russian army/DPR foces. They said what caused him to finally snap was a recent Russian missile stike on Kharkiv that caused his elderly mother to die of a heart attack. I don't think she was hit by the missile, i guess it was just the shock of it hitting so close that caused the heart attack. I know it sounds crazy but that's what they said. I couldn't make this shit up.
Seems Eastern support for Russia is fading away with the war
Thanks
Oh No, just before they liberated Mum!

Basically, as a 57 yr old with some military training in my past, and alot of body pain in my future, I can almost certainly say that he said " I'm to old for this s##t" and is trying to get to a place of peace. This is the unfortunate fault of unknowing old men that start wars for unknowing young men to fight
With modern demographics, the young men aren't exactly young and the old ordering them around are literally senile.
pUTIN IS NOT UNKNOWING BUT HE THROWS HIS POPULUS AS CANNON FODDER TO THE FRONT ANYWAY.
They've likely lived lives not worth living from jump. It's not as if someone who has most likely been an alcoholic most of his life before the war ever gets much better once the war goes on any length of time.
I remember before I got clean, quit drinking and using dope I didn't care if I lived or died. It's only been the past 10-15 years that I started to live again.
I'm 57 and I would be in Ukraine if I had a ride.
@@gulfmarine8857For what?
At last, a *normal human reaction* in defense against suicidal madness. Years late, tens of thousands of deaths late, but still...
Better late than never
There have been reactions like this before. Many to be exact. It just depends on the news outlets what spreads and what doesn't.
Nothing changed. This are anecdotes that have happened and will keep happening and the russians will keep this german mentality in 1939 until there is no more russia.
The kids are learning.
It is amazing that NATO and especially the US ever feared the Russian military. If not for the nukes, they would be completely irrelevant.
Not really. They are still willing to absorb nearly limitless amounts of casualties and have good enough gear to hurt you if you’re not prepared. They would have done a significant amount of damage to anywhere they invaded. If you run low of munitions or fuel then you get killed and Nato countries have skimped on spending depending on the US nuclear umbrella.
In WW2 everyone else who sustained 50% casualties folded. France lost 30% and folded. Russia reconstituted 100% of their front line strength 7 times… When properly lead Russian troops are no joke. Any other country now would have stopped the war yet Russia continues.
To be fair, the Soviet military actually was decent.
Not as strong or as capable as the U.S. military, but it was at least somewhat competent (Soviet rockets and anti-air systems were better than those of the USA for decades)
And many of their best personnel were Ukrainian.
@@CMY187 Most impressive was the numbers made of just about everything. Cheap and very numerous.
@@myplane150 The Soviet T-34 was overall (speed, accuracy, protection, reliability, etc) the best tank of the Second World War, and the Soviets became frighteningly good at Combined Arms operations from late-1942 onward.
There are Soviet military commanders who do have my respect, like Chuikov, Vasilevsky, Yeremenko (a Ukrainian from Kharkiv), Shumilov and of course GEORGY ZHUKOV.
The Soviet Hind gunship is also a legitimately good aircraft and was feared by the Mujahedeen in the Soviet-Afghan War.
In my opinion the west was correct to fear the Soviet Union. The Russian Federation…not so much.
The SOVIET UNION and WARSAW PACT were not remotely the same thing as the RUSSIAN FEDERATION. US primary education has been worthless since the 1970s and it shows.
Hope they don’t fix this problem
They won't their incapable of treating even their own country men as human beings. Orcs down to the bone.
They won't
I get your humor and love it.
I do love Ukraine just as much as Russia
I just openly have a favorite child.

this is one of those problems that can fix itself if it continues.
They've been doing this for a while now. Remember all the recruiting centers that got burned down? That started well over a year ago.

In Russia when someone throws grenade in room killing 7 you can never know for sure if it actually intended or some weird accident of playing with grande and dropping it, or if it's some kind of prank that went wrong. Russia is just like this .
what about that Ukrainian commander who threw a grenade into a room where 5-6 soldiers refused to go into certain death? That was surely an accident and sadly for you its on video
@@freak94able can you provide a credible link? these reports he is giving is from russian news that reports it.

@@freak94ablehe is saying the russians might not have been committing fraticide and might just have been careless. Why would it follow that its "sad for him" if the ukranians were committing fraticide? He was coming up woth a more favorable explanation for the russians; its so awkward you try to argue by forcing in a story about ukranian fraticide when he was trying to defend russians from that criticism. Why didnt you comment that on the video itself which was about that very topic?
"Living is better than dying". Combat Veteran's great phrases.
NO ITS NOT - try living under Russian occupation - or even in a lot of other places on this planet!
Have you seen videos of life in Provincial Russia? Death might just be better than living in a wood house heated by a wood stove-the fuel for which you have to collect yourself-water from a communal well, dirt (mud) paths for roads, some livestock to tend for fresh milk (whom you have to feed everyday)…and still hold down a job that pays *maybe* $200/month-if the boss actually bothers to pay you.
Living in a small, provincial town/village in Russia is already a battle for survival. The chance of dying of disease or accident is about the same as a soldier dying from disease, frostbite, or being shot.

I heard even the Nepalese don’t accept the conditions of the Russian Federation military
The Nepalese are used to being in the " Ghurkas Regiment". Well paid By Britain, respected and liked for their bravery, and loyalty. Not the same deal from cheapo Russia.
@@SharifSalukis The Ghurkas are elite - many times more applicants than places, only the best are selected to join, then highly trained, highly valued and British wages mean they are extremely well paid by Nepalese standards.
Russia recruits anyone willing to get on a plane - and Russia knows they won't actually have to pay them anything because they will all be dead before their first payday.
What doest it mean "even"? All human lives are valuable, and most humans actually value their lives and will start to resist anti-human behaviour and conditions. Russians are probably the one of a kind nation, who can turn their heads to the ground and just go to their certain death for no real reason, the purest form of infantility you can ever imagine. It took almost century to create this way of thinking in them. Many post-soviet countries are lucky to get rid of this degrading influence Soviet Union had on their own people, yet Russia never stopped to turn their people into cannon fodder slaves... Russians - are the first and the most numerous victim of the russian regime.
Ghurkhas would never fight for Russia, for good reason.
They not only join the British Army they also join the Indian Army as well as Bruni and Singapore. They are also the only force that is recruited directly by the United Nations as peacekeepers.
I heard that the Nepalese government warn any Nepalese if they become mercenaries they will face prison or worse when they come home. This is simply because Nepal makes a lot of foreign currency from their men being recruited and would not allow any Nepalese man to jeopardise it. Anyway I would imagine if a Nepalese did do that he would not be welcome home ever again.
Or the Cubans, or the Chinese, or the Pakistani troops. Heard they were trying to recruit in Africa as well, but haven't heard anything much about recruits from there.
I had not crunched the 87% number. That's mind boggling.
Soviet dictators don't care about human life . Stalin sent troops against Finland in 1939-1944 and suffered losses as great as the USA's throughout whole WWII. And at that time Finland's population was 3.7 million and the Soviet Union's was 170 million. Putler must have imagined at the beginning of the "special operation" that he had an endless number of people to throw to their deaths.
They arent even covering this fraggin crap up anymore!
"Ruzzian spirit does'nt make you immune from suffering" this right here needs to be taught in their schools.

@@ulfosterberg9116 Russia has taken 20% of Ukraine
@@andrasbiro3007 yes, it advances hundreds meters a day while suffereing an average number of killed soldiers by a thousand a day. There has been far less costly defeats in history.
Here's a clinician drilling down on one possibility: It may be that that Yuri G, now on the lamb for murdering his Howitzer crew comrades, may have brain damage from blast exposures from repeatedly firing the Howitzer. Older soldiers, whose brains are arguably less resilient than younger brains, may be especially susceptible to this type of traumatic brain injury. One thing's for sure: we don't (and will never) know the whole story.
Just FYI, the worst fighting of WW2 was not D-Day, but the Battle of Stalingrad. We can all agree having an average life expectancy of 24hrs from the moment you stepped on the battlefield is not something the americans ever remotely faced.
Really? I can't beleive the soldiers are offing their superior who just told them they will all die🤣 Self preservation is a powerful instinct, you can't reason with it.

I heard that this 57 year old went berserk because Russian artillery shell killed his mother in Kharkov across the border.
6:00 - as far as I remember, the 57 year old guy is actually ukrainian, who was forcefully mobilized on the occupied territory. He just played along till he got his chance to escape and killed several russian soldiers, who actually brought the war to his land, took everything from him except the last - his life. Many ukrainians forced to serve in russian army actually still loyal to Ukraine and just victims to the russian agression and policies on the occupied territories. Many of them work for ukrainian intelligence, many flee and turn themselves to ukrainian forces if they ever had chance to do so. There are many diversions in russian army we probably do not know about, made by men forced to serve the enemy.
Hat offs to the Cubans I expect that out of them 😂😂😂
They were told russia is better because they're capitalist now. Too bad the problem with the soviet union was always russia.
It took the Americans at least five years of combat in Vietnam to decide to start fragging officers they considered incompetent and dangerous. It's only taken the russians two. Bravo.😂😂😂😂.

My uncle was a CB in the initial assault at Iwo Jima. Of his battalion (I think a full strength CB battalion was 530) 200 got across the beach. The battalion that landed next to them had similar casualties. Having gained a bit of shelter beside sand dunes and small trees at the back of the beach, the survivors of the two battalions regrouped and took out the pill boxes commanding the beach. As memory serves me, there was one US infantry unit at Iwo that had 96% casualties.
Combat Engineer Warriors, those SeeBees. A salute to that generation.
Fragging is "to kill with a fragmentation grenade." Vietnam era. Usually against Sergeants and platoon commanders who were pricks.
i should add that the fraggers were draftees who used as cannon fodder.
they literally made a movie about it Platoon
Platoon was fiction. A movie. A Hollywood production. Hollywood! Do you believe what Hollywood produces as truth. George of the Jungle? Mean girls? Once upon a time in Hollywood? Pulp Fiction? 2d. Most draftees, I mean the vast majority of draftees who served in Vietnam, volunteered to serve in Vietnam. You clearly know what you know about Vietnam from word of mouth.
They appear to do all they can to MAKE dying a blessed relief from living as a Russian conscript.

Stress, plus hopelessness, plus alcohol equals stupid things being done.
Imagine losing a war to a crumbling Russian military infrastructure…
One would start to wonder...
as a Ukraine soldier on the front put it so well "with this army they could take over the world, but they fight like morons" Really only a couple countries on earth can produce infantry like russia and none are as proven to keep lumbering forward as you put it. Turkey is one and best of russian military has been chechen ,that have fought for khadyrov, they and dagaestan are Turkic I could obviously be wrong world history getting stretched with all these conflicts.
A sniper in avdiivka interviewed by wsj or wp said how he was having issues running out of ammo and that he was traumatized by site of shooting invaders who would fall on previously shot invaders. Interview got awkward an she asked so you need more ammo as that was starting to become narrative at time, and he insisted it was more issue that he couldn't shoot enough people ammo wasnt issue but simple math. Morale is tested when their is strong resistance or you are on defense. Last time that happened they almost had coup now they have lots of foreign unpaid mercenaries with language barriers and criminals so maybe thats reason for offensive honestly they realize they dont have military at moment for defensive posture. They have all the countries engineers and what not for trenches and fortifications but imagine those bunkers would really become survival of fittest. Especially with former prisoners imagine trying to handle food rations. All of a sudden because they are in uniform they are going to let smaller person eat peacefully...agree sadly all the elements for fragging especially with the drinking too just powder keg
The term fragging originated from the war in Vietnam. Some American soldiers, unhappy with their officers, would throw a live grenade in their vicinity. That grenade being a fragmentation grenade, thus the term fragging, not from the word fraternal.
Morale in the Russian army is a tinder box.
This is a great analogy for us who never been in the military, you explained this well, it makes logical sense to me
Not me.
"If you feel frustrated enough to frag your co-workers, but don't want to be hunted by the law, get some Strike Gum."
Low morale is not a "bug" in the Russian military. It's a feature.
I looked up Russians for quite a while in the late 1990s to early 2000s. Now I look at Russians that play on our hockey teams with suspicion. Putin is ruining my memory of Igor Larionov and Viacheslav Fetisov. I hate Putin with a passion

The American DD tanks crews were told exactly where they should land, the current took them sideways if they aimed for target then they filled with water and sank, the tanks are still there.
On Omaha Beach the German machine gun barrels overheated and they ran out of bullets. I've walked around the American cemetery there.
Here in Britain industry is using foreign temporary labour wherever possible, workers have to be replaced every 12 weeks or given a pay rise. You have minutes to train someone to do a job and they may not speak English. The is no team, no moral and no expectation of a real pay rise. The managers don't care who get hurt so long as they get their bonuses. If we'd had assault rifles at work we'd probably have used them on someone!
On Omaha beach he US Army has lost 3,686 casualties including around 777 killed. Other Allied losses include 539 naval and 10 air forces casualties. The German have lost over 1,000 casualties.
Not great but compared to what Russia is accepting that is not much.
@@RCXDerp the real way to compare casualty rates is by percentage of the force deployed. And the Russian loss rate is considered unacceptable by western nations. If we saw those sorts of losses the commanders would be in prison for incompetence.
Random fact: Omaha Beach was 80 years ago June 6 this year!
For some reason I read it as "Obama Beach" lmao
The average Russian being confronted with the average Russian... just two generations younger.
*degenerations
@@ywgh4387 I wonder why they keep thinking there is something to gain, when there is always something lost each time around?
@@chaosopher23 because left communist seeds which soviets were planting on the west all the time starting from the cold war finally starting growing up - media, art, academia and lastly politics. where under false label of "piece" agents of their influence and receipients of those efforts were promoting stuff which works towards the soviets and against themselves. for me personally the turning historical point was about Obama and Syria - he promised to retaliate if russia would involve, but he didn't did that.
i know that sounds pretty much conspirological, but when digging deeper into the topic it all finds its proofs - my personal Opus Dei was conducting a huge retro-investigation about Maya Shon and Ralph Schoenman - who from 60s were working as soviet agents of influence in US and were the first who were spreading false pro-palestinian narratives which you could hear nowadays on every corner
damn it, youtube almost always eating too long comments, so i'll split it into 5 parts, mb it will get through

I guess we forgot that evil tends to eat itself. We need to have faith that good is the only thing that can persist. Evil turns on itself.
I remember a scene in the movie the Patriot , when Mel Gibson tries to recruit a militia in a tarvene by saying " God save King George" , could you imagine a Russian officer said said God save Putin😵☠️👻
Russia is good cannon fodder
Long time viewer here. This is my second comment in the last year. Just want to say I love these commentaries and updates. Thanks.
I'm aware of one incident where the individual killing he "fellow" troops had been a Ukrainian who'd been conscripted in the occupied area.
It used to be grunts fragging their officers, not officers fragging their grunts.
That's true leadership.
If true.
@@spudwesth It IS true.
History says fragging is contagious. Idk. Eyes on this
“If we throw enough people at the bullets eventually they’ll run out of bullets” that was originally a joke and now they’re actually doing it
“Don’t worry about that commissar, I’ll take care of him”
I think it's going to get much worse (or better for us) in the coming years. All these soldiers have internet access, they can absolutely see everything that's being said in their country and the wider web, and with this, they also see their own losses and the comments and actions of their commanders. It's a recipe for disaster.
Right, like they are a bunch of western nerds.
@@kti5682 Their family members or teammates could be though. If I can randomly receive a gore video from an unknown number, then those Russians can absolutely see their own losses, either through sheer curiosity or though other people sending it to them, it would be shocking if they didn't to begin with, which would also explain why these fragging incidents often go under the rug.
This has to be going on for a while, Russian income is fairly low to afford a decent internet connection (actually I'm wrong most Russian households have internet), also Lenin wondered at some point why Russian soldiers don't turn their weapons against their oppressors.
i mean if they didn't figured it out during the last 2 years, it's a bit naive to assume they would realize that in the near future
I wonder how many cases of fragging & fratricide are written off as accidents.
Probably a fair number.
I love phrases like "according to some reports".
Paper tiger seems so inaccurate now, perhaps paper house cat ?
Daily reminder that the Soviets suffered 700k casualties in the first Battle of Kiev when the Germans took it in 1941.
Different psychology though, that was while 'defending mother russia' (against their former ally) which gives a certain morale boost and with support of western countries, this war is a war of invasion against a stubborn enemy (russians are now in the invading nasi position) with condemnation of western countries, so no ideological or patriotic boost to morale..
At that time Ukraine was fighting with the Russians.
This isn't exactly the behavior of a winning army.
It is the behavior often of many forces in the time of war, especially one such as this., which turns soldiers brains to jelly.
All power to the people!✊🏽
reminds me of that scene in "Dazed & Confused" when the teacher gives them a lesson from his days in Nam: _"Men! 50 of ya are going into the jungle tonite, and twenty-five of ya, ain't coming back! ..."_
6:21 or he may have decided to join the good guys, such as the Freedom of Russia Legion
Freedom of Russia Legion is not "good guys". All three Russian Battalions are lead by Russian ultra nationalists
When Rome fell apart, it was largely due to not being able to pay its vast mercenary armies and rebellion once they stopped fighting for Rome.
Loved the last two shows you have a sense of Humour Cheers Paul and Slava Ukraine and NATO
Turns out, when you mistreat your men like trash and then demand them to fight for their lives, they might turn against you, who would've known.
Russia is a joke hahaha
Not to the Ukrainians who are dying.
