“Russian overall strategy is unknown” then he lays out Russia’s overall strategy
apparently they know the timing schedule of the battleplans too... from "unknown sources" too
seriously , how stupid do these clowns think people are
Russian reporters in helmets and bulletproof vests crawl over the ruins made by their own troops, looking for traces of the Nazis, behind which there were no ruins here.
Yep
@@umenhuman7573 US professor John Mearsheimer warned US multiple times about this scenario we now see for many years, US didn't care.
US invested billions since 2013 in Ukraine military, trying to provoke Russia.
People should see some education videos from US Professor John Mearsheimer, he knew what US planned in Ukraine for many years.
Many videos about it, all professor John Mearsheimer predicted would happen.
We see now, he was right about everything.
It's his job to know what US does, US would not listening to his warnings.
Bad move by US provoking world most powerful nuclear nation, idiots...

Ah.... I was wondering!
@@michaelsmith7425 🤣
Game over? I thought that Ukraine was winning the whole time 😂
Sounds like we were led astray. He made it sound like Russia was a few moves away from “game over”. What happened to all of the weapons we were sending? No effect? Where are the midrange rocket systems that were going to make a big impact? Where are the 155 mm m777 artillery?
This is what you get from a liberal general, throw the white flag instantly. Be grateful Ukrainia is not led by liberals 😉
Russia always was winning. It can unleash its arsenal from outside Ukraine's borders. Bearcats lauching missiles from Caspian. The US just spread disinformation.
@@dmdale3598 if Russia has always been winning then why the projected 2 or 3 day special military campaign still going after 100 days. Why the withdrawal from the capital and other major targets. Why Ukraine has sunken 15 major naval ships. Lost over a quarter of the Russian military already. Putin is now begging experienced ex military over 40 to join for triple the salary. I ask if Russia is winning so easily then why is Russia asking for terms of a cease fire and Ukraine pulled all terms off the table and said they won't stop till all Ukraine is back united even what they lost before!!!. I can tell you my friends that are in the front lines there fighting don't feel like they are losing!!!

Russia always loss heavy on the battle but not the war, they are the one who learns upon history making them more stronger.
Amazing!! Just a week ago we were told by American press and experts how Ukraine was winning and Russia was suffering defeat after defeat or unsustainable loss of troops and personnel. Also Putin was a broken man close to being overthrown. Simply an unbelievable turn around!
Putin is dying.
Just look back and see what they said about Iraq and Afghanistan.
Things can change ya know, it's war, it's a fluid situation
Still some channels like MSNBC reports "devastating defeat" and DW how "Russia is loosing" right now. And from sources at battlefield we know that Ukraine now faces tremendous loses in combatants, like 500+ a day.
Any intelligent person will know that nothing is constant during war. Press reports what happens at a particular stage of a war.
And more so, considering the amount of equipment and weapons the Russian brought at the beginning one can say they are loosing.
Absolutely criminal what Russia is doing.I just hope if and when this comes to an end Russia will have to pay reparations for years to come to rebuild Ukraine.
it's gonna be there country to rebuild anyways looool

according to the reality now after a month happened exactly what the colonel feared,so Ukraine is going toward the game over.
It looks like Russia was trying to preserve the overall Ukraine infrastructure. But, that plus west's help gave Ukraine advantage, so Russia will now go for railways, gas pipes, etc.
I don't think so.
It's true. The Russians don't want to damage infrastructure in areas they want to take but have now decided that they need to.
@@margaretrutherford5548 look at Mariupol.
This is correct assumption: Kherson had practically no destruction. Mariupol was almost destroyed, but only in the parts where Ukranians dug in.
@@mynext30years41 Kherson fell early and easily.Places they can't capture easily they destroy.
Ukraine has done one regretful thing... They gave all their nukes to Russia in 1994...had they not done so there would be no war.
They did so on the agreement that Russia would NEVER invade. Hmmmmm.
US diplomacy considered it a great victory at that time.
and they got Russian written assurances in return that their territorial integrity will be respected 😂😂😂
Wait I thought Russia lost all of it's forces and missiles and old tanks?
But Ukrainie is still a nuclear state and it can legally obtain nukes. Especially after Russian invasion.
He was talking sense, until he got to "eliminate Ukraine culture, take the remainder of Ukraine, eliminate Ukraine from the map"... None of these have ever been part of the plan.
If you listen to what Putin and his advisors say and write repeatedly, it was the plan all along. They may be willing to accept the Western region around Lviv to be "non-Russian", meaning that it's actually Polish or something like that. Ukraine is not a real country to them and the nation does not exist.
So Putin personally publishing an essay on why Ukraine shouldn't exist titled 'On the historical unity of Russians and Ukrainians' arguing that they are one people and the borders shouldn't exist doesn't suggest that maybe he wants to get rid of the things in the way of him doing that, such as eliminating the differences between them (Ukrainian culture) and removing their ability to ever fight Russia again via annexation? Are you really gonna say the guy quite openly threatening to nuke the British Isles out of existence (despite knowing full well what that means for everyone), has already turned several Ukrainian town and cities into ghost-towns neighbouring mass graves and abducted hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians cares deeply about human life or people's ability to choose?
This isn't about restraint, liberation or anything else - it's a powerplay; many of the countries Ukraine feeds (bear in mind, it's a country of 43 million that produces the food for 600 million) are also targets of China's belt and road initiative. By making not only their economies, but their very ability to live dependent on the Russia/China partnership, they make vassals of those countries - which include Egypt, owner of the Suez canal aka the fastest way for European ships to get to the South China sea and aid Taiwan or any other targets of China in the event of a conflict over there. Should Egypt be coerced to block off or even temporarily sabotage the Suez canal, that could delay reinforcments from European countries (as well as European-stationed American assets) by a week or two at least, meaning it's basically whatever America has in the area plus Japan, South Korea and Taiwan vs China (since India is unlikely to throw itself into war on the American/UK side without a damn good reason), which is much more favourable odds.
Taking Ukraine would also give that co-operative 46% of the world's supply of graphite (China has 26% of the world's supply, Ukraine 20%) - an important resource for batteries/solar panels etc which will be a massive market in the coming age - as well as making it harder for Europe to wean itself off Russian oil/gas, since it'll need Russian graphite to do so. This isn't a 'special operation'; this is the opening play of the new cold war/potential WW3 aimed at cornering certain markets and forcing the world to be more dependent on Russia/China than vice-versa.
This guy totally misrepresented Russian objectives and did so very diliberately.
In what way??
Elaborate please
@@RS-jb1lf Russia has stated from onset that it is not out to conquer or occupy, any territory only to remove threats posed to Ethnic Russian peoples living in these regions of Eastern Ukraine who were being targeted by militias with government sanction for the last 8 years.

The Colonel totally mis-spoke when he said "game over." Taking territory means nothing if you cannot hold it and consolidate it. And at this relatively early stage, Russia has done neither anywhere in Ukraine, except Crimea.
But it sounds great for media. So sick of backseat drivers and. Armchair quarterbacks!
You totally did not understand what he actually said: Cut off and surround the Ukrainian forces in a specific region and crush them. It has nothing to do with taking and holding territory.
Good to see you still have access to the Internet from the battlefield General
The Ukrainians are almost encircled at severodonetsk and lychyshank....12,000 Ukrainians is about to be captured or perish like the 6th army in Stalingrad.
Ur right taking territory means nothing,but the Russians aren't trying to take territory,they are trying to trap the Ukrainians in tiny pockets,cut off their supply lines,starve them out and eliminate them.
The guys at severodonetsk and lychyshank can't move because they are literally surrounded on three sides and the Russians are applying lots of pressure on them
Ukrainians have started their guerrilla war. Two attacks on the heads of the temporary military
administration appointed by Russians on the occupied territories in Melitopol and Kherson.
It’s was game over from the very beginning we all knew that
When trying to fill 24 hours of airtime eventually you reach a point when there is nothing insightful to be said. CNN and Lemon passed this milestone ages ago. Somehow Alexander Mercouis is doing it daily on CZcams and other platforms.

stay strong Ukraine - thank you CNN
The EU weaning themselves off Russian gas and oil is one thing and possible, the world being less reliant on Ukrainian wheat is borderline impossible. If Putin does control wheat export to fund his campaign as a substitute for oil and gas, that is of real concern globally and more complex to negotiate
Russia has already tried selling ship loads of Ukraine grain. Knowing it was stolen from Ukraine no country is buying it.
Europe is burning more coal now 🪨
that's not about to last, the Danish are passing their Harpoon battery to Ukraine with love ...
The U.S. is about to wrap the Patriot system ready for transport ...
The word will swarm on Putin with Fury if he threatens global starvation. There will be no other choice.
EU will never wean itself off Russian Gas. They can't import gas by sea, because they don't have the offloading facilities and they have no intention of building any plants to do the job.
I pray for peace..
Sad that the best evaluator of a land war in all of the MSM isn't a retired Marine or Army officer, but a retired Air Force officer, and he's not very good at evaluating or perhaps realizing and communicating the significance of all the information showing that the Ukranian Army is literally collapsing, with troops not only refusing combat, but openly broadcasting their refusal to fight without proper equipment, support, supplies, ammunition, food and chain of command that is actually present rather than deserting them weeks ago.
You mean the Russians? Or do you just like quoting Russian propaganda?
@Hannibal Sulla lol sounds like you are the emotional one. I've got news for you. One side has big troop morale problems and it's not the ones fighting for their freedom!
having worked on a rail line as a rail line worker, a track, or rails about 40 feet long, can be put into place within 8 hours roughly, depending on motivation.
And that's why Russia will target the power stations instead
Removing a train wreck that is a mile long without the proper equipment is going to take several days and a lot of manpower. This will likely happen to both sides.
@Buddy Rojek
Then the depots will be attacked. The rail network will be shut down.
the biggest cover up there was to forget to mention that russia exports twice as much wheat grain as ukraine and so the effect of sanctions is much worse than ukriane not exporting its crops ...

@@orlock20 also repair of train tracks blown up takes time
How do we solve this after the war? Killing soldiers is war. But killing civilians AND stealing goods on coordinated level?
Since they're not even calling it a war, but a "special operation," I say all the attacking Russians are murderers and thieves, uniforms or not.
Giving a status of a terrorist state to Russia and giving away all of their frozen funds as reparations to Ukraine will be a good start.
you presume the Russians will lose. I'm afraid it doesn't look so from this map. I just hope there is a hell for these people.
The only ones who can solve this are the Russians themselves. No outside force has the ability to intervene without starting the Third World War. And stop being so hypocritical, just because this war is being portrayed a lot in the media it doesnt mean it's something new. Stuff like this has been happening forever all over the world and almost no outsider cared about it yet.
@14 Year old Mexican American not by international law it is not- ask Milosevic, ask Goering. There is also such a thing as winning the peace and "hearts and minds" which any enlightened army would focus on.

The „wise guy“ in the Kremlin realized, that the future „gold“ will be grain and drinking water. If he can‘t any longer dictate anyone with his gas and oil, he (Russia) needs other important resources to keep being an important global player.
Funny how the Russian gov. never thought about growing an economy by inventing things they could then sell. But yeah, this would mean hard work and not theft only!

Long game? You must have missed the last 3 months. They are desperate to force concessions. Time favours Ukraine.
Impartial my foot. That statement and CNN with it's liars and uninformed freaks parading themselves as analyst should not be in the same sentence.

the AMERICAN people were BLACKMAILED INTO FUNDING THE GENOCIDE.
The networks and doctrines of Ukrainian neo-nazis are undeniably in America.
The bombings in Oklahoma in 2019 were a fact that networked it.
Mass shootings that occurred in recent times were also carried out by neo-nazi networks.
They did so in protest at the thought that the American government was lying or at least too slow to deliver weapons to Ukrainian neo-nazis as promised.

Raising neo-nazi groups and then including them in Ukrainian military units
to find out the beginnings of the UKRAINIAN CONFLICT and the growth of Ukrainian Neo Nazis who then for 8 years COMMITTED GENOCIDE or ETHNIC CLEANSING against the people of eastern Ukraine (russian language)

Your other neighbors say, "dude, that's not cool" and stop going to bars with you, stop trading Pokemon with you and don't let you have that money that Josh owes you. They're helping your neighbor defend yourself and are threatening to give Josh's money to your neighbor.

In Ukraine, Russian fascists provoked an energy crisis: destroyed solar panels and windmills
The Sivashenergoprom enterprise suffered badly,
which built the largest wind farm in the region on the banks of the Sivash.
It consisted of 68 giant windmills with a total capacity of 250-300 megawatts.
Note that this project was very expensive,

The Windcraft Chaplinka wind farm, which is part of the 140-megawatt Windcraft-Ukraine wind farm, was also destroyed.
Dozens of solar power plants in the Kherson region were also destroyed. The occupiers beat the panels during the shelling or stole them. It is currently impossible to calculate the scale of the damage. This will be done after the war.
Game over? Death by a thousand cuts? Noose around the neck?! something just hit the fan if you hear this on CNN
Zelensky's army exist of only man above 45 years old, the young guys are killed or heavy wounded
The 'narrative' that the Ukrainians are winning is about to hit a brick wall with 'reality' written all over it. At least the general knows that.

It aint over until the fat lady sings!! wait dang it can not say that any longer lol
The colonel offered a better explanation than the generals who appeared on most MSM .
We live in peacetime, but for some reason it was necessary to expand the military alliance. Military alliances have always been needed only for war. NATO has always been aimed only against Russia. All bases and weapons have always been placed towards the borders of Russia. You live peacefully, but for some reason your house is surrounded by people with weapons. Who has the audacity to say that strangers came with guns to your house with good intentions? Were the bioreagent tanks supplied for your own safety? It would be better for everyone to mind their own business.
Military alliances are formed as deterrent and in the particular case of our eastern european neighbours, they are formed to avoid the influence of an overly aggressive neighbour that claims your land and pretends like your culture doesn't even exist. If anything, the ukranian war has given the eastern european states cofirmation about their decision to join NATO.
The real question is , how does the big guy get his cut out of all this?
🤣🤣🤣
Oh you didn’t hear about the $40 billion aid 😆
10% the last time I heard
Ukraine isn’t winning in either one of these situations , reconstruction is gonna cost hundreds of billions anyway , who is paying for that
We are!
Europe and China will pay for that, thanks to oil prices raised by Biden "green transition to chinese solar panels made by mongolian and australian coal"
All these experts should go to the frontline with Western multi media.

Russia doesn't even need to use nukes to win lmao

Retired colonels are a dime a dozen. This one is happy to talk about what the Russians want to do, without assessing their capability to implement. What was this guy saying on 24 February? 24 March?
Exactly, thanks
All he said was that the Russians hit the rail lines. Why does the truth hurt you so much...

It has become clear that Ukraine needs TROOPS BOOTS ON THE GROUND help to end this. Food in danger is the last straw. Russia needs to be not only stopped, but totally removed from Ukraine. Do it now, or it's going to be too late tomorrow. And tomorrow is just a few hours away.
Then suit up, grab your gun as and get out there and put your boots on the ground.
Absolutely not. America will not participate in yet another war.
Can't do that. White males are the enemy remember? Toxic masculinity, racist, straight etc etc..? Remember all that? But you now you need them again to sacrifice themselves?
Boots on the ground have been there and fled. Ask Wali (the world record Canadian sniper), he knows.

The documents show that many children were killed in the airstrikes.

Highly unlikely as they are already under so much in debt that they will anyways crumble under it. Its either Russia or USA that will control Ukraine and that was US plan all along that's why they didn't right off their debt with IMF instead gave them more debt and weapons see geopolitics is not like the relationship between two individuals rather between two opportunist common man always suffer no matter what..
If anybody actually would have listened to the Russian side you would have know and understand what Russians are doing.
CNN saying they dont know what Russians are teying to do and guy in nice suit is drawing green lines not knowing what Russians are doing but speculates only. And this is western news? 😂🤣😂🤣
Maybe just maybe learn to listen to Russian side also.
Russians provided video evidence including interviews from civilians in Donbass, civilians held hostage in Azostav steel plant all of them said it was Kyev regime thst is bombing them.
Even Sky News interviewed civilian that clearly said it Ukrainian bombs that are bombing houses and not Russian bombs. Sky News reported and showed video of civilians talking who is actually bombing civilians. It aint Russians but Ukrainians.

Yeah, shame on you, this retired general and this CNN producer who decided to air this piece program!
I just hope relations never return to normal with russia.
Russia will permanently turn to the East after this; they'll form closer political, economic and military ties with China and the Central Asian States.
China needs to upgrade and expand its nuclear arsenal and Russia will be central to that.
Just the ordinary hateful murican commenting.
Russia does not need you. So, why not.
When russia openly declared itself as nazis the page was forever turned, if nukes didn't exist we would have already interveent
Agreed, but because relations are always so fragile, better say "its like tearing a piece of tissue, no matter how many times you try to tape it back together, it will never be the same.
Tissue shows the fragility better than paper.
When civilians and infrastructure are targeted do the same back to russia.
The problem is not them wanting to do that but they cant. Ukraine only hope is to defend it's own territory and that's even highly unlikely if this goes for long
Russian reporters in helmets and bulletproof vests crawl over the ruins made by their own troops, looking for traces of the Nazis, behind which there were no ruins here.
You want to target/murder Russian women, children, and their elderly? Have you completely lost your mind Barbara?!?!
With what? other than lobbing the occasional artillery shell across the border, Ukraine does not have the means to cause any serious damage.
No way, that would give Putin another reason to try to justify the invasion.
Friedrich Nietzsche would have something to say here
" The Art of War " is to keep them guessing.
I think people should go watch "HEADHUNTERS CHANNEL....You will see Ukraine's frontline soldieries arguing with their commanders....They are falling apart as they have no ammo or vehicles...
It wil go down in History that we made a big mestake not letting ukraine join nato or make a special defense pact that would have made russia back down

Resignation of Boris Bondarev May 2020:
"My name is Boris Bondarev, in the MFA of Russia since 2002. Since 2019 to now - Councillor of the Russian Mission to the UN Office at Geneva.
For twenty years of my diplomatic career I have seen different turns of our foreign policy, but never have I been so ashamed of my country as on February 24 of this year.The aggressive war unleashed by Putin against Ukraine, and in fact against the entire Western world, is not only a crime against the Ukrainian people, but also, perhaps, the most serious crime against the people of Russia with a bold letter Z crossing out all hopes and prospects for a prosperous free society in our country.
Those who conceived this war want only one thing - to remain in power forever, live in pompous tasteless palaces, sail on yachts comparable in tonnage and cost to the entire Russian Navy, enjoying unlimited power and complete impunity. To achieve that they are willing to sacrifice as many lives as it takes. Thousands of Russians and Ukrainians have already died just for this.
I regret to admit that over all these twenty years the level of lies and unprofessionalism in the work of the Foreign Ministry has been increasing all the time. However, in most recent years, this has become simply catastrophic. Instead of unbiased information, impartial analysis and sober forecasting, there are propaganda clichés in the spirit of Soviet newspapers of the 1930s. A system has been built that deceives itself.
Minister Lavrov is a good illustration of the degradation of this system. In 18 years, he went from a professional and educated intellectual, whom many my colleagues held in such high esteem to a person who constantly broadcasts conflicting statements and threatens the world (that is, Russia too) with nuclear weapons!
Today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not about diplomacy. It is all about warmongering, lies and hatred. It serves interests of few, the very few people thus contributing to further isolation and degradation of my country.
Russia no longer has allies, and there is no one to blame but its reckless and ill-conceived policy. I studied to be a diplomat and have been a diplomat for twenty years. The Ministry has become my home and family. But I simply cannot any longer share in this bloody, witless and absolutely needless ignominy"
Taking Ukraine is one thing. Keeping it is another. We all know how well the invasion of Afghanistan worked out for the Russians.
It's a different ball game here dude
No, after 20 years the Ukrainians will think that they are Russians in fact or at least convinced to agree with that. I have see Moldavian that are waiting for Russia to come.
@@mksensej8701 You will never forget the murder of your loved ones....Ever!
Russia has learned a few things since then. They'll confuse Ukrainians with misinformation and fake news and propaganda until they want to be mindless Russians who get put in jail if they use the word "war."
@@mksensej8701 You forget that thousands of Ukrainians rose up against Stalin when Hitler "liberated" Ukraine. Unfortunately, Hitler considered all slavs to be lesser humans, with no exception for Ukrainians. My point is that the Ukrainians have deep longings for independence and that will not stop even under Russian dominance. It also won't stop when NATO supplies the Ukrainian insurgency.
Ukraine could have exported their grain from the west of the country if they hadn’t mined their own port areas 🙄
Why would anyone go onto the net and give Russia a strategy like this?

I like this Colonel he is unbiased and straight forward
By now it was supposed to be a Afghanistan situation of insurection,, in stead Russia is still stuck in the east,
Ya, that’s a lot of “ifs”.
Basic rail (non-electrified) can be repaired at dozens of kilometers a day if you have the crew and equipment for it.
No amount of bombing is going to significantly damage the earthen works, so its mainly filling in craters and laying track ... stuff you can do on an industrial scale.
The allies barely made a dent in german railway infrastructure, and they had months of total air supremacy.
Of course its going to be annoying and slow down logistics, but there is no chance of a permanent knockout whatsoever.
I guess rail bridges takes a lot longer to fix?
Lol yeah that ended that stupid point for sure
Wait I thought Russia lost all of it's forces and missiles and old tanks?
@@titanproductions3628 +5 roubles
Fair observation. However, interrupting supply lines, especially of NATO munitions does seem to be a sensible military strategy given the situation in the East, especially if it can be done consistently ... A Ukrainian army without arms, ammo and food can't fight and could be surrounded.
Good high level analysis. Hard to believe Lemon is still employed. Just how much stupidity does a TV journalist need to display in order to get fired?
Just how much stupidity do YT viewers require to miss the fact that a Colonel is NOT a strategist? For STRATEGY, get a STRATEGIST, i.e a General, 4 ranks above Colonel.

Probably Less than you just did
I wish our top strategist would stop telling the Russian Generals how conduct and strategize their aggression.
He knows nothing about how the Ukrainians are fighting. They are not using the heavy machinery as much as the Russians. They move fast in smaller vehicles and make sting operations on Russian convoys with drone.
and the Ukrainians are being wiped out.
Question : how do you think all the missiles and supplies we give the Ukrainians are shipped to the front lines ?
@@dawidb2848 ...hey God botherer, no one is asking so why are you interfering with your smug, self-righteous religious arrogance ??
Kharkiv basicly a trap for Ukrainian troops. There's no way out. No chance to get reinforcement nor weapons. It will end like azov that got trapped inside steelplant in mariupol.
You still want comforting lies. Smh. Another network shows ukrainians reading a letter begging to retreat. Its not what they been feeding you. I understand you hate Russia and wish ukrainians could win but they're are not. Their command structure is breaking down.
"Never tell your enemy what he is doing wrong". -- Sun Tzu
I am a farm boy from north dakota. The grain market is overlooked wealth. Besides us Ukraine is a huge world supplier of wheat. Food resources are for the long game,Russia wants this productive land,and are willing to kill to get it,how is this even allowed in this age. like our invasion of Iraq we need a real world power to shut down aggression. The UN is gutless.

🇺🇲🇺🇦❗The people and government of Ukraine, led by President Zelensky, must decide for themselves the question of the possibility of territorial concessions, said US Secretary of State Blinken.
According to the head of the State Department, the United States does not intend to impose its position.
It should be noted that the topic of the loss of territories by Ukraine to end the war is increasingly debated by the leaders of the European Union.
Western media has been changing the tone.
Ukrainian forces need to destroy Russian rail and supply lines inside Russia to force them to draw back resources from the front
And how do you propose they do that?
Attacking Russians inside Russia is not only a bad strategy for Ukraine, it's a bad "look" for the defending country. It's better to allow much of the Russian forces to come inside the border of Ukraine, and meanwhile, wait for all of the "good stuff" to arrive, the stuff that will allow the stronger Ukrainian will to ultimately prevail. If and when the Ukrainian military does push back, with most cities already destroyed, and most civilians gone, there will exist a very "target rich" environment for Ukraine!
