Unbearable for any civilised country, maybe. But Mordor is not civilised. We need to stop thinking that Kremlin will ever use basic logic. If they had basic logic they wouldn't have invaded in the first place.
lmfao this is pure delusion dude but you do you and good luck taking on the Russians with the pathetic array of European military "might" rotting on your derelict bases. Trump waned your idiotic asses 8 years ago and every one of you laughed at him when he told you to prepare. the ironic part is that he did not even agree with the policies that led you here and STILL he gave solid advice that had it been heeded may have provided the necessary resources that the Ukrainians needed WHEN they needed them while the conflict could have at least been stabilized if not won (wtf ever that even means)
@@kevint1910found the orc
Geez, you guys annexed Guyana into Venezuela on one of the maps 😮
Odd mistake to make on a video having nothing to do with that region.
There should be a peace settlement. That's what is going to happen anyway after more have died. It was what was prevented from happening by Western leaders after Ukraine was abt to sign it in Turkey.
We, as Europeans, need to wake up and face reality: the peace is over.
Peace is an illusion. You guys were living in lalaland for far too long
And this war will destroy Western civilization.
you as Europeans need to wake up and face reality: over 50% of your 0-5 population is Arab or African.
And the USA and Canada do not need to be the guarantors of your security.
@@RioAbajoBelen They never were the only country who activated article 5 is USA nobudy else. Do you really think Europe needs US garantided security ha get off your high horses.
We kicked Sweden out of NATO on our maps (Orban style) ;) but seriously, the official ratification (07.03) already came out after the map rendering; next time Sweden will already be in blue
What about Canada?
@@dannywalshft225 It's shown in blue when they're talking about NATO, but some parts show the US sending things to the EU, so it isn't shaded blue in these sections.
That’s ridiculous you shouldn’t fix the problem because Sweden 🇸🇪 had joined NATO both Turkey 🇹🇷 and Hungary 🇭🇺 try to blocked Sweden’s 🇸🇪 Application to Join NATO for multiple reasons but everything is settled now
But besides the peloton conflict with Venezuela 🇻🇪 and Guyana 🇬🇾 that you already covered on there is another peloton conflict my take place in the near future that you might do a video on but this time is in the Horn of Africa a conflict between Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and Eritrea 🇪🇷
That's OK. People often confuse us with Switzerland anyway.
Please don't call the Finns Scandinavian. They tend to not like that. They want to be called Nordic.🙂
"Reportetly commited suicide"
Yeah just like how all those other people "fell from the 10th story"
Windows and tea, very dangerous things in Russia
Also "feeling unwell" and "enjoying your retirement".
Kinda like James Forrestal when he disagreed with Zionist forces in the US government. Then he jumped out of the 15th floor!
I do believe Navalny died of natursl reasons. He was really sick already. The most likely case is that his illness worsened but he didn't get a doctor.
@@stateservant Navalny was intentionally kept in conditions where his health would deteriorate and he would eventually die. Now, whether he did die naturally (as natural as it can be when it's intentionally set up) or Putin and his cronies decided to speed him up along that path is another matter. One we might never know tbh. If they did use something like Novichok they seem to have made damn sure to keep Navalny's body out of sight until said neurotoxin has dissolved.
Polish foreign minister being named Sikorski is great.
What does it mean
@@murnyang8381 similar surname had a guy from Ukraine who fled from the communistic revolution to the US and invented there the first helicopter + created the Sikorsky Aircraft, which is one of the leading aircraft, specifically helipad, manufacturer in the world.( recently bought by Lockheed Martin)
@@murnyang8381 Also, Władysław Sikorski was Polish general in times of Polish-Soviet war of 1920-1921 and one of the main architects of so called 'Mircle of Vistula', and later during WW2 he was president of Polish government in exile. What hobela8515 ment is that in times of troubles caused by Russia it's pretty good to have someone with last name Sikorski in Polish government. :D
"Sikorski" is the name of a notorious japanese doujin ero-game maker. And it mean ir for real. Captain sikorsky. check it on google if you are not believe me. And i am spaniard. Not slavic in any way, shape or form.
I think they’re known for helicopters, lol (the Sikorsky company)
European nations must re-evaluate their arms suppliers and prioritize European companies If US is no longer committed to European security.
You already prioritize european supply. As well as one sided trade. Good luck
There are so many national arms supplers in the EU that it will be a huge win if there can be a standard kit for an EU force. I think American MIC will do just fine in such a competition supporting such an effort.
All Europe needs to do is issue contracts to European arms companies...there are some very good ones.
@@obviouslyadudenot really, especially germany bought alot of stuff from the usa where we could have gotten arguably better supplies in europe
I agree, however the reason why european nations don’t buy european military arms is because they simply don’t trust Europe. Take Poland as a best example, in a war with Russia they have to count on always getting more guns, repair supplies, ammunition, etc. Both Germany and France tried to make Ukraine give up in the start of the battle (not openly but it has been revealed they did). Germany (and EU) got dependent on Russian gas. Germany only wanted to send helmets to Ukraine, only relenting after being pressured by other wester nations. In a war Poland can never find themselves in a similar situation, so instead they buy US military gear.
On top of that like Russia can threaten smaller nations like Sweden if they supply military supplies to a nation they are in war with, but they can never threaten USA.
On top of all this a nation like SKorea can just supply military gear cheaper and much quicker than European nations, to buy the tanks or artillery from western nations would take many many more years than buying from SKorea. European military industry is just too small.
So while I agree that we need to buy our own military stuff, it’s also legit reasons why nations don’t. And European military producers only has themselves to blame. But we can change, and we should change. We need to stop fearing military, and realize it’s what makes democracy and freedom possible.
I like that the French are putting themselves in a political leadership position, but I wish they would do the same when it comes to arms deliveries. Quantitatively speaking, things don't look that strong for the French arms delevarys.
The French have some nice expeditionary force projection capabiities but only in a few tens of thousands --- French power needs a lot more boots on the ground or must cede that to Germany --- very different capabilities so a true EU force against russia must first have those two come together.
1) France has the army they needed and still has more real soldiers ( with combat experience) than any current EU country.
2) FR is the only EU country which makes its weapons and uses them. Moreover Fr is still present in many parts of the 🌍 globe, FR can't give away all its weapons like Denmark because it will be than naked. What the point to be the strongest EU army and been unable to defend itself in case of new troubles emerge.
3) FR uses what it manufactures, as they are no real EU military joined industry ( everybody is buying American/ for protection guarantee) the quantities are small. FR can't give them away, it will take her a decade to replace them. FR can't be naked meanwhile.
4) As mentioned above FR to be independent, produces most of its stuffs in little quantities because of a lack of EU market .SO all the weapons systems are french+/- , so FR can't give them away like that. It is easy to give away old soviet stuffs, and be paid by EU to buy new US weapons. If FR drops its stuffs, gets the money, FR will have to produce the replacement because FR DOESN'T BUY FULL US STUFFS.
5) In this video, the guys mention "Billions giveaway" as if it was cupcakes😂. First, all countries are not in the same economical state, and giving more could have massive consequences in FR and empower oppositions ( far right and far left are supporting Putin in FR). GER can give more they are the 3rd economy in the world and has some kinda responsibility in this mess ( RUSSIA CHINA BUSINESS DEPENDENCY). Poland gives a lot, well it's economy is in a better shape than the French one and less debts. Plus Poland is directly involved in the matter. If Poland was located in Portugal, I'm not so sure Poles would give that much ( just saying😊).
6) The only real & effective solution since the beginning is to generate Euro bonds for EU defense industries and to guarantee the orders for the manufacturers but since so far GER is not so keen on that, that why we are falling into this stupid contest of who gives what.
@@curiositykillsthecat Poland's economy is better than that of the French first time I've heard that
@@mongomuller2025 You are confusing " developed / stock" and 'growth / dynamic ".Let me explain: Yes FR economy is more developed and generates more wealth but FR economy has far more debts and the growth rate is very low since at least 2 decades. FR is like rich patient with a lot of heath conditions (nothing fatal but things must be addressed). Pol produces less wealth, but has been growing fast for the last 2 decades with higher growth rates. And Pol has a lower debt level and a lower debt burden. Your economy generates profits when FR cumuls deficits. Pol is like a healthy middle class+ patient who is active and doesn't have any particular health conditions yet. So he can take more risks and has more freedom compare to the French patient who can't do this, can't eat that, etc. . due to his health .
France was the top supplier of weapons to Ukraine from 2014-2020.
More recent deliveries are not fully disclosed.
I’m reminded of a scene in a lead up to WWII docudrama in which the British government finally acknowledges Winston Churchill’s warnings of a resurgent Nazi Germany. When Churchill is told they’re finally ready to listen and start preparing he sighs and flatly responds “I think we may be too late.” I worry that Europe finds itself in the same predicament again.
This reminded me of that British ww2 poster, that had a guy pointing at the sky with bombers in it and saying “try to negotiate with that!”.
I loved the ending statement, well done
So according to the author the USSR was a democratic country that prevailed over Nazi Germany. Well done!
I'm very happy to see that our political leadership seems to finally be waking up here in Europe. Let's hope it's not too late yet. The last statement in your video does give me confidence that we'll be able to overcome the russian invasion and perhaps rebuild the military industrial complex in Europe to match the other great powers. We've got the money for sure, just the political willpower drags behind.
Europe has the money? Whom is asleep and whom is awake?
Why would you want war in Europe?
@@brandonlance3601 I mean we have alot of resources which we put into welfare, or taxes on thing we dont raise. I dont know if you are trolling or just st*pid. I live in Austria and looked at our budget. We can safly send Ukraine 500mil a year without destroying our economy. And we are a pretty small country.
@@valentindegen why does putin attack ukraine?
@@vonunterberg4313Because the CIA, fomented a coup against the democratically elected government and then killed 17k ethnic Russians in Donbas. Then set up 20+ bioweapons labs and threatened to get a nuke. There’s way more but the point is that we’re the baddies on this one.
The military surge that Russia has been enjoying since last year has not been due only to the lack of ammunition for Ukraine, but also by the supply of North Korean artillery shells to Russian troops. The country of Kim Jong Un have huge stockpiles of those shells. They can probably continue their deliveries at a high level for months, but probably not for years. If Ukraine can limit their human and territorial losses this year, I’m optimistic it would be able to return to counter-offensives next year.

That would be a war crime.
Europe really taking a long and hard time to learn that North America and Europe are different continents with different priorities.
Even within the EU itself, there are differences in perspective on priorities. East and West Europe have a different perspective on this.
Which has been clearly visible over the last 20 years. Poland and many other countries warned Germany and France about the threat. However, business with Russia was the most important thing. It was France and Germany that blocked Ukraine and Georgia from joining NATO.
It was Germany, despite warnings, that built gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea despite the clear opposition of Central Europe. This is nothing more than the arrogant attitude of the political and business elites towards the countries of Central Europe.
I don't think anything has changed. The West is ossified, egocentric and blind.
@@bratbrata4974perfectly said 💔
I'm optimistic Europe will stand together. We are strong enough to step up now that USA is stalemated by Putin's allies. Germany has thought twice about everything, which s understandable, they will have to pay a lot of the bills. In the end they came to the same conclusion as everybody else: We need to stop Putin in Ukraine now, or we'll need to fight him in Poland.
The US very much relies on Europe being a stable and reliable economic partner.
Russia does everything it can to make sure that Europe is the opposite of stable and reliable.

History legends is idiot
Also Europe for decades has been insanely weak on military spending procurement and production. Like take out America France and UK what do you have left not a lot. Only in the recent 2 yrs has Europe start waking up to what's going on.
czcams.com/video/idK_0abnAKc/video.html
Poland and the Baltic states are among the highest defence spenders in terms of portion of GDP. Polands military is fast becoming one of the preeminent ground armies in Europe.
More like Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal, the rest is mostly spending around 2.5% long term with fluctuations during large procurement plans.
@@TevelDrinkwater Dont forget Greece and Finland who both punch well above their weight. Finland has the most artillery pieces in EU and they are good ones.

И толку? )
From a historical point of view, we shoyldn’t forget just how massive NATO is. Even without the US’s support, and even with an underfunded military, NATO support is still a considerable threat to basically any polity it is pointed towards, just due to the sheer scale of Europe’s and Canada’s economies.
Hi, just an update on the Czech initiative - it's done:
Yesterday, the Czech president has announced, that 1,5 billion € was collected and we are therefore going to organize the transport.
BUT, there is a catch - the 1,5 billion € was for 300.000 shells only, that means for the remaining 500.000 additional money needs to be collected...
In total, it should be around 6 billion €, as it contains the exact opposite of what you've said, namely 500.000 NATO standard 155mm shells and 300.000 152mm Soviet shells (really 152mm, not the mentioned 122mm)..
The first delivery of the 300.000 is mixed from 155mm and 152mm and it should be in Ukraine in 2 weeks.
And btw., no South Africa, Turkey or South Korea, but Philipines is the seller, as they have both the 155mm and 152mm ammo - they don't wan to be disclosed because of their troubles with China, but there is the Philipines presidents visit to Prague next week to sign the deal...
it just showes that this video is overly opitmistic talking about all those hypothetical numbers that has proven to be always way lower than anticipated, if delivered at all. Just look at the promised 1 million artillery shells. How many thousand of those have we delivered so far? comical at best.
I cant find anything about your "catch"
All the news I see is about
According to the Czech President, the country’s representatives managed to find about 500,000 155-mm artillery shells and 300,000 122-mm shells abroad.
The British newspaper Financial Times wrote that the total value of such contracts could be in the range of $1.5 billion. Czech officials did not comment on the value of potential deals.
I guess we wil find out more soon enough.
@@John_Doe448 I agree, though EU has delivered over 300.000 of the promised 1 million..
The factories are now being enlarged, so from December 2024 we will be able to produce 1,5 million per year, from June 2025 even 2,5 mil...
That's why we are for now looking outside of the EU nad NATO and have made the deal with Philipines, as they have both the 152mm and 155mm calibre...
The 300.000 already paid shells are on the way, it shoud be in Ukraine 2 weeks and the rest of 500.000 will be discussed with the Philipines president during his visit to Prague next week...
@@shaddapforever The aditional informations are in our local news, in Czech language though..
There was apparently a misunderstanding between the reporters and our government, as we have said from the very beginning, that the 1,5 billion USD are for the first batch only, the whole package of 800.000 will cost around 5,5 billion €..
Nevertheless, the 300.000 shells from the first batch are already on their way, it should be in Ukraine in 2 weeks..
The aditional 500.000 will be discussed next week with the Philipines president during his state visit to Czech rep....
Chad president! Make him president of Europe lol
Sweden and Finland are new members of NATO and European NATO spending has accelerated. Europe is waking up to becoming defenders of Europe. Seems like it is going in the right direction. Time will tell. Wake up Europe, you are next!
yes...and don't spend 10 years talking hoping things change.
Let's hope Europe takes the lead here.
The only thing us Europeans are taking lead at is burning trillions of Euro on some green projects that don't work, only for us ending up using coal even more.
Don't forget about the hate speech laws, for we are world leaders at oppressing white people from voicing their opinions.
Please, by all means. We in the United States got tired of being the backbone of Ukraine's military a couple years ago.
Americans have a problem with understanding Europe and its because of the English language.
"Europe" is not one place.
We speak of 'the Americas' (plural). Which separates south, central and north America.
But 'Europe' is taken to be just one place. A singular name. So it must be just one place .... no, its not.
What if there was no difference between north, central and south America on maps.
We just have one big continental area called 'America'. From Canada to Argentina.
One day Brazil has a war with Chile, and we say 'what is the US doing' about this war? ...this war is an American problem, for Americans.
After all people in the US are Americans, Brazilians and Chileans are Americans, so its the US's responsibility.
They're all Americans after all.
America is one place. From Canada down to Argentina. One continent.
Im in the EU, Im commonly referred to as a European.
People in parts of Turkey and Russia are also living in continental Europe, they're not referred to as Europeans.
Ukraine is in continental Europe, but are they called Europeans?.... they're not in the EU. UK was in the EU, now its not. Are they considered the same as EU Europeans?
There are ambiguous terms used when speaking about "Europe" and Europeans. And I see Americans come to some logical conclusions about who's responsible for what. But the same logic is based on false assumptions.
The EU wasn't part of the Budapest memorandum. US was. And UK.
A European in Portugal, Denmark, etc doesn't have the same legal obligations to Ukraine which Americans (US) have.
Not just because 'oh Ukraine is part of "Europe" '.
By that same logic of responsibility based on the name of your continent Washington is to blame for the Mexican cartels because Mexicans are continentally considered 'Americans'.
We in the EU (and UK) do have a responsibility to Ukraine, but its not because 'oh Ukraine is under the category of "Europe" '.
@@tedcrilly46 As an American, I know that Europe is not one country. What's your point? Why are you putting words in our mouths? I'm not your talking puppet.
@@KonglomeratYT because im sick of it. The theories i see coming from Americans about Europe are almost always based on fiction, they rarely bother to actually check. They just parrot what some yahoo said before. And it often originates from some u.s tv politics host with an agenda or from some celebrity tinfoil hat
As an American, I wish we could ramp up support but unfortunately our nation needs to fix itself right now. Hopefully we will continue to support but if Europe can take the lead it will allow America to recover and be better positioned to take the lead again in the future
It's time we take responsibility and step up in Europe. Hope you'll join the effort again later though
It's really more we need to stop getting in our own way than that there is something in urgent need of fixing.
If Leadership position is lost, no one will gift it back later.
I sure HOPE European politicians will wake up and take the lead. Because otherwise our continent will be lost. Being European it is [YT c€nsored word] why Euro politicians have ignored the issue for 2 years. That the Americans ignore Europe getting d€stroy€d is more understandable. They don't care about us because they don't live here. But Euro politicians live here. And they're just sitting on their hands while the continent 🔥.
US will care only as much as Europeans do-no more than that. Right now it seems that Europeans don't feel any urgency to act, which explains a little of the attitude in the US-I think.
@@icu17siberia Remember the incident where Blinken spoke about working with the Polish government about the delivery of old Soviet MIGs to Ukraine. Poland then came up with a plan to deliver these jets to the US base Ramstein in Germany, so that the US would then give them to Ukraine, but Washington declined, citing the risk of escalation.
How many Abrams tanks did the Americans send to Ukraine, in what conditon and how long did it take to make the decision and get them delivered?
The UK and France delivered cruise missiles to Ukraine (seemingly with crews) and what did Washington do?
Did the US commit any F-16s to Ukraine?
So far, Washington is happy to press the Europeans into escalating the conflict and their involvement, while cheering them on from the sidelines. Biden has categorically rejected the idea of US boots in Ukraine. Dying and fighting would be a purely European thing.
Btw, who pressed the other NATO members to accept a future membership for Ukraine and Georgia against their wishes? Right, George W. Bush, the man who rubber stamped "robust interrogations", invaded Irak under false pretext and essentially pooped on international law.
The politicians in Washington were more interested in securing another country's border and sovereignty, while allowing the US border to be left wide open and hampering efforts to secure it.
Then there's the recent Border Bill in the US Congress where the politicians demand that billions of dollars should be sent to Ukraine and Israel first BEFORE even allowing funds to be given for securing the border.
@Johnlanzer this talking point is silly to the point of propaganda. The Republicans FORCED the issue to be spun on a package bill.
@@Johnlanzer Those "billions of dollars to Ukraine" statements are actually misleading BS. What they do is they send outdated equipment that used to cost x billion dollars to produce, but is now useless to the US army and only sitting in storage, eating up taxpayer dollars trying to maintain them. So really, what youre ACTUALLY doing is sending Ukraine old useless toys that you now no longer need to spend money on to maintain them..
Oh and those billions of dollars producing said equipment? Yea that ends up in the hands of american workers who actually designed and built those things.. so in reality, it only brings positives, but your politicians are bought n paid for by putin, so they try to make it into this big deal.. amazing right?
Brilliant work spot on Ukraine has been fighting with one arm tied behind their back.
Thank you for this positive video. Much need. Greetings from Slovakia
As Slovak myself I feel ashamed we are not heard more since Mafia took over the government - with strong Russian sentiment for their electorate. Good news is that this is just a show and in reality Slovakia will not block aid to Ukraine.
There is no stalemate in the US Senate, as the Senate has already passed the aid bill. It is the US House where speaker Johnson is holding up the aid.
That is true, but I think the assessment at 20K ft high remains. The strange alliance of religious fundamentalists, white nationalists, foreign isolationists, and Trump personality cultists called MAGA wag the dog of the US gov.
why send more taxpayer money to the most corrupt nation in world (even more corrupt than russia, google it) that is just going to be laundered which most of it has been. while we have domestic issues ongoing.
Last words: amen!
Military aid for Ukr budgeted for 2024:
FRA 3 bilion
GER 7 billion
Macron talks big, but...
It's not entirely correct. To understand what's going on one has to look closer what Germans deliver. A huge part are vehicles (transport, non-combat), Gear, Food, Fuel and medical equipment. Not high end systems. The 18 Leo-2 tanks were an exception. It took a year of discussions before sent to Ukraine. Everything delayed, . Or partially delivered. And last but not least: Germany counts not only what was delivered but also what they intent to deliver. If you look closer you'll find a majority of military equipment already counted as "military help" in the section "to be delivered".
@@renemagritte8237
Logistics wins wars.
The official list clearly distinguishes what has been delivered and what is pledged.
Among the delivered high tech systems are
2 Patriot batteries (compared to 1 from the US, zero from the UK or POL and 1/2 SAMPT from FRA/ ITA each)
3 IRIST SLM batteries, plus SLS launchers
Additional high tech radars from Diehl
2 Skynex batteries, each worth > 100 million (2 more pledged)
COBRA artillery radar
52 Gepard (modernized and digitized in the 2000s)
Leo2A6 + PzH 2000 + Mars2 (M270 variant)
Marder aren't high tech, yet still saving lives. 90 delivered, 20 coming soon.
30 Leo1 delivered, another 30 used for batallion / brigade scale training in GER right now, and another 40+ coming after that (joint effort with DEN)
Ca 100 ex Soviet tanks delivered via ring swaps
3k PzF3 +8k RGW90HH ATMs delivered in 22 already, 18k more to come.
Compared to a few hundred French MMP...
Etc etc
Not everything sent is publicly disclosed, german or french. It would just be nice if Germany also had the “big mouth”. We are all in this together, the kremlin doesn’t see our respective governments as enemies, they see *all of us* as enemies.
@@renemagritte8237always talking no action.
@@renemagritte8237The way you messaged your post it sounds like Germany is mostly sending "helmets" and food rations. Given how your post comes across, I have to disagree. For starters, it is true that Germany sends much of the basics like hundreds of transport vehicles and trucks and other basic military equipment for combat and logistics operations. I wouldn't downplay this component of the military aid as it is non the less an essential part of any military operation.
Secondly, I don't necessarily agree with your statement that Germany does not send high end systems apart form Leo 2...
Do MARS II, IRIS-T, Patriot batteries and radars, Stinger missiles, PHZ 2000, Biber Bridge layers, Vector reconnaissance drones, drone jammers, Skynex air defense system etc also count as "not high end"...?
Quote: _"And last but not least: Germany counts not only what was delivered but also what they intent to deliver."_
This is irrelevant, every government does this. That is why we have independent organizations like IFW that do a detailed book keeping of the military aid delivered. And from organizations like IFW we know that the Germans contribution was more than just promises.
Bots on the comments are in full force 😂. Good job bro
I thought the Germans had an impressive KDR against the Soviets (~1:4), but the Ukrainians are kicking ass!
Which is probably why the propaganda we're being fed isn't true.
No army would retreat from a position that gives you a 10-1 ratio. Especially if it's just an artillery shortage since retreating doesn't magically create more shells. No one seriously believes the military gap between Russia and Ukraine is larger than the Soviet vs Germany.
Especially when Russia is the one with the general tech and material advantage.
@@spaghettigod43An army would do that if they can't spare the lives and are unable to keep up the ratio. The count is over the full period of defence, not what it is currently. The video kind of makes this point already.
@@declanashmore Except no you wouldn't if these ratios were true.
Retreating does not give you more ammo. So any excuse of "lack of artillery" is absolutely bullshit.
Avdiivka was one of their more fortified positions and we have had countless statements saying that positions further behind are not at all fortified as they should be. So it's not like they're retreating to better positions.
If the losses were so few they also wouldn't have to be throwing just about all their reserves to hold back Russians including sacrificing the Abrams that they treasured and were holding back for future offense.
It's unlikely many positions will give them better than a 10:1 ratio. So they should have probably spent their man power counter attacking and retaking positions.
Or or maybe the ratio wasn't ever that wide? I recall how much people used to say "In Bakhmut we have such a massive advantage 5:1" but somehow we're supposed to imagine in here they were doing twice as good?
Now all we hear about Bakhmut is how Ukraine over committed and spent too nany resources there. That the reason the counter offensive failed was to lack of power and Bakhmut was to blame. I have no doubt that in another 6 to 8 months we'll be hearing "they spent too much at Avdiivka" instead of these wet dreams of 10:1 casualty figures.
@@spaghettigod43 Except yes you would if the past situation is no longer the current situation. Please reread what I wrote.
@@declanashmore Except no you wouldn't. You would commit everything possible to maintain the 10:1 position.
Do you understand how ludicrous 10:1 is?
You would throw so many men in to it to maintain/secure it if you knew in the long run you'd maintain the 10:1
It would be worth doing a major counteroffensive just to recapture that position.
They claim to have lost bout 5k? I would spend another 10k lives to recapture it if it meant Russians would need another 50k.
Then bam the Russians are down 100k and you're down 15k
Like you all realize Russia is only bout 3.3x larger not 100x or something right?
This idea that Ukraine has manpower issues and can't spare men to maintain/reclaim a 10:1 position but Russia somehow can is just not in tune with reality.
As long as Europe works together on this, we can succeed, and if we end up winning this for Ukraine, then i can see Europe evolving into a developed military continent with Ukraine on board finally..
Proud of Czechia's initiative! 🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿
What I have attempted to do is to be quite pragmatic. You have to recognize that it isn't enough just to be for peace.
You have to recognize that there are evil forces in this world that are not for peace. That there are aggressive forces, and unless you stop these aggressive forces, you are not going to have real peace.
You have to recognize that if you, in the name of peace, roll over in front of an aggressor. This may ensure peace maybe not in your time but our time, but it ensures war at a later time.
The Munich agreement is the prime example. I was always against appeasement, not because I was for war. But because I was for peace for a generation for a century rather than peace in my own time."
Richard Nixon, 37th president of the United States

Yes, they are. 😁
They actually are the main item needed, everything else is pointless if you don't have it in this war.
The 🇺🇦 aid issue isn’t blocking resolution of border security. The GOP wrote their own border security bill, but Trump told them not to pass it as he wanted to use the border issue during the entire campaign.
While I don't share Hubert's conservative political views, I completely agree with him on Russia, and the importance of military aid to Ukraine. I wish conservatives from Poland, Germany, Finland, the Baltics Ukraine, and other European countries could scare some sense into Canadian conservatives. Our contributions to Ukraine have been pathetic, and our defence spending is embarrassing.
Canada will not boost lethal aid support for Ukraine unless Conservatives from other IDU member parties speak to the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. I'd like to see that happen. I want my country to move faster on support for Ukraine.
it seems the world is realizing what many of us realized 15 years ago, there is a major competency crisis with western leaders and also with the public to a significant degree.
lets hope this crisis flushes out the bad and we get some real change, long needed.
Thank you for that video. Many of us here in the west hear only bad news for Ukraine .

It’s funny since 16,600 is way less than what they actually lost and the Russian MoD was still furious.

Nice video
Thanks for the video. Your opinion on things is valued under my roof.
This is an amazing video very well done.
As a french with family in Ukraine, it feels good to have a realistic analysis with an optimistic perspective on the future. I’m appalled by how our medias and general opinion in France is negative when not borderline pro-russian.
Continue the great work. Слава Європі і Слава Україні 🇺🇦🇪🇺
Also France could send LeClerc tanks too
produced 876
The lack of artillery shells is the more imminent problem. Also including ANOTHER tank model would challenge the logistics even more.
It's difficult to send armored vehicles when you don't have enough for yourself... thanks to previous governments. There are just 200 operational leclercs in France.
With every month I'm getting more and more convinced that our chancellor Scholz is being blackmailled by Russia over some of the questionable or possibly criminal actions of his in context of the Cum-Ex scandal.

Thank you for another great video!
Great content. It would have been even better if you presented a slide with the numbers of aid donated by countries to help us better consecptulise it. You've done this in the past with equipment donated.
Lots of numbers presented in a narrative can make the stats hard to grasp in perspective.
Great videos, keep them coming.
Nice video! Thx!
I think It is strange that you are more in favour of the French position towards Ukraine than the German one.
France has sent far far fewer Weapons, supplies and money than Germany, both in Absolute and Per Capita terms.
thats because he is polish. a polish person that talks positivly about germany does not exist.
Another Amazing Video! Thank you. 🇦🇺👴🏻
You are 100% spot on 95% of the time. Thank you.
Great video as always. I just need to stress that the bill you're referencing at 4:00 is not securing the U.S. border. It caps single daily total of illegal border crossings at 5,000. That is 5,000 per day are allowed to enter. Imagine if U.K. or France had 5,000 migrants enter a day. That's allowing over 1.75 million illegal crossings per year friends.
❤️🇺🇦❤️

Your rational for why Johnson is blocking aid is incorrect. This is 100% about the border issue NOT about isolationism or Trump.
It's not. Not even a little bit.
@@adrien5834 Your rational for this?
@@blckbirdoftrees6218 Biden offered Republicans everything they could ask for, far more than Trump ever did about the border, Johnson won't even consider it, because he doesn't care. All he cares about is denying aid to Ukraine.
@@adrien5834 Link? I ask for a link because we have been down this road before and usually democrats offer a lemon in exchange.
Further usually in American politics in order to clear a logjam one party will pair something they care about with something the other party cares about. I think we can all say republicans do not like the current state of the border so why would democrats pair that up with something they believe republicans also hate? Namely foreign aid.
@@blckbirdoftrees6218 Oh, but Republicans love foreign aid. Foreign aid to Israel that is. They'd simply love to send aid to Israel but they can't because Biden paired that with aid to Ukraine, and they can't vote for that, it would make Putin sad.
Great video, very informative
All able free people should come to help Ukraine defend itself against New Ivan
Considering USA isn't even present anymore?
Yeah I think we can say Europe is taking the lead.
Europe has a huge advantage in the form of being decentralized, when 51% of politicians in USA don't want to send more aid then no more aid is sent from USA, when 51% of politicians in Europe don't want to send more aid then Ukraine is still getting 49% of the aid.
But other than that, far more people and politicians in Europe are for aid anyway.
Europe will not stop helping Ukraine any time soon and is already locked on a path to much higher military production than Europe needs for itself, Ukraine will keep getting more munitions and at an increasing rate which will overtake Russias own production(if it hasn't already) with a rapidly expanding gap as the years continue.
While USA has abandoned Ukraine and Europe the rest of the West is firmly behind Ukraine, USA is not needed for Ukraine to win, but I hope that USA understands that Europe wont feel any obligation to help in a war in the pacific after this.
USA using its allies for its own expeditions to the sandbox for decades and then bailing from only sending material after less than 2 years the first time it was Europe asking for aid is really disappointing.
The only ally to go into Iraq with us was Great Britain and some minor Polish troops. -Afghanistan, same thing, except Germany joined in. Where was the rest of Europe then?- You guys only shout when it comes to your borders; we've subsidized your defense long enough without any gratitude.
@@ariyune7007Because the Iraq war was dumb and imperialist. That's why nobody joined in.
In Afghanistan the whole of NATO joined in to help, the only time Article 5 was enacted, and by the USA!
Learn your facts.
@@ariyune7007 You mean the Iraq war that was sold to you on the grounds of non-existent WMDs? Sorry we didn't participate on the lie.
Okay, fair enough, I didn't realize most of NATO joined in Afganistan.
Even so, I'm still sticking to the fact that the US has contributed more than it's fair share in NATO spending over the years while Europe got to reap the benefits. What's wrong with saying Europeans should stop complaining about the US and maybe take a look inwards and increase their own military effectivness first? Unlike Europe, the US has to focus on multiple theatres of war halfway across the globe. Yet they just complain about what we do with our own money, despite all we've done for them throughout the cold war, post-cold war, and not to mention deterrence, etc. over the years. Anyone will tell you the US has contributed far more to NATO than it's European members combined.
@@ariyune7007 It's true Europe relied on the US too much for its defense, in fact now we're finally starting to get our shit togheter.
Still, this means the US should abandon Europe? Russia is your enemy too of you hadn't realized yet.

Lol. You talk about war economy mode of Europe when the individual economy of each NATO country is un a mess, just look at deindustrialized Germany and dying Britain.
@patrino that was Germany before the war. EU is already suffering protest left and right from it's people fed up with the war in Ukraine; turning into war economy would result in massive protest as EU people quality of life wil further decline than it is already is.
Thanks for the video.
It's difficult to imagine numbers when you don't write them :(
NATO societies fear NATO stepping in Ukraine...
It should have been done in 2014. Russia said those were not their troops so what would have been the issue ? All this tragedy would have been avoided. Hell, even a few divisions in Ukraine for " exercises " after the anexation would have been enough.
But no, appeasing tirants it is. When will people learn ? And now, not even proper miltiary support ( forget about intervention ) after two years from the wealthiest nations on the planet. Utterly umbarassing.
Like you said my polish friend, unwavering support from east NATO members is most likely what pulled everyhing into the right direction. I still think without it in the initial stages, Ukraine would have been thrown under the bus by weaker leaders from NATO.
Makes me really proud that even our small country made a difference towards that. And I hope we continue to do so, that we ALL continue to do so.
2 points. Why is Europe even still reliant on the U.S 80 years after World War 2 ended?. Perhaps the U.S is finally sick and tired of having to clean up Europe’s mess. I sure would be.
Europe should be self-sustaining when it comes to arms and shells instead of buying from the US.
Because the US have done all they could to perpetuate this state of affairs for 80 years. Even the British are reliant upon the US. Only the French have wisely refused to fall into this trap.
That is quite a lot of negative talk about Germany and how Macron is filling the shoes of USA, very weird take as well when you follow it by pointing out how much more Germany has been showing with its actions.
Despite how undetermined Germany speaks and its weird reluctance on some niche cases it is definitely leading more than France when it comes to actions, though as you say Eastern and Northern Europe leads even more.
Germany doing far more than France also happens in a space where it is Germany that has been hurt most by sanctions and the gas situation out of all European countries, it is providing a substantial amount of aid despite also having to have subsidized its own energy market and industry by several hundred billion Euros as a direct consequence for having sided with Ukraine.
Also strange to single out Europe as being slow when you then present numbers showing that it has been increasing production of artillery shells at a faster pace than USA, definitely faster than Russia as well. Europe lacked stockpiles, that is the only reason there is a perception it is moving slowly, it is in fact moving faster and did move faster since the start than both USA and Russia.
Europe might be called slow but also definitely going at a determined pace towards peak production far higher than Russia, when you look at what Europe is actually doing instead of the surface level politics and sowing of doubt it is clear Europe is going for an Ukrainian victory and always has so.
German elites have been a disgrace, they helped fund the Russian warmachine and even helped building training tools for their soldiers, the German info leak also shows a deep penetration of information networks in Germany, this is unacceptable for any nation that wants to show both national and international leadership, Germany needs and deserves beter! Europe deserves better!
Yep. Macron talks big, but...
Military aid for Ukr budgeted for 2024:
FRA 3 bilion
GER 7 billion
What German actions ? They still haven't reached the 2% floor for spending and just said no to sending Taurus missles. In the red sea they sent one ship and after shooting down two drones are reporting that they are critical on ammunition and need help to get what they have to their ship
@@jerrymiller9039 GER is spending more than 2% this year (and the next).
And for 2022+23 GER has provided DOUBLE the mil aid that FRA (or UK) has provided.
Including 2 Patriot batteries, one of which is currently downing lots Russian jets.
@@positroll7870 Germany is claiming that it will spend more than 2% this year. It has not done so yet and if it does it will be based on a one time appropriation. Two years ago I heard Olaaf talking about sharply ramping up spending but have not seen it. In 2006 Merkel committed to the 2% but never met or tried to meet it and it should have been over that before 2006. I believe German commitments when I see them not when I hear about them

They will try and once again realize that the EU was never intended for more than trade and therefore it is not really capable to lead such an undertaking. It needs to be fundamentally reworked. From the ground up towards goals that will be important in the future.
Europe is already successfully taking the lead.
Well, now's a good as time as any to do such reforms. The free trade world that the EU took advantage of is now gone. If the pandemic didn't do it, then Russia's invasion if Ukraine was that nail in the coffin.
I feel like such reforms will come, but only because Europe will have absolutely no other choice

Mike Johnson was elected thanks in-part to over $10,000 in campaign donations from American Ethane. Russian oligarchs own 88% of American Ethane. And American Ethane is exporting billions of dollars worth of Ethane to China thanks to a deal Donald Trump signed with China in 2017.

Anglo-Saxon used as a term for the West in general is inappropriate and inaccurate. It is used by Russian state media to spread disinformation for this purpose, to artificially create an ethnic dimension and to resurrect Soviet propaganda vocabulary.
No it’s perfectly accurate. The west is an Anglo Saxon project. Non of us in it have a political system derived from our cultures and we were all forced into Anglo democracy
The British have nuclear weapons as well as the French; maybe what you meant was, "France, as the only European power with their own tactical nuclear weapons" although this is not exactly accurate as the U.S. has a nuclear sharing policy with Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Turkey.
