  1. This is insane Russia has more than three times the amount of troops and have a lot more manufacturing than the usa and Europe put together where do they find these clowns everyday to lie to us they should hire some journalists from the times of india who seem to be right instead of this channel being wrong everday

  3. Putin can't win this war because NATO won't let him, they will send troops if needed. And he can't make peace because the only thing keeping the Russian economy afloat is war spending, and if that spending stops or even slows, there will be a depression in Russia, and that's a huge risk to Putin's power. All Putin can do is keep fighting, keep spending, and try to destabilize the world. That's what he's doing because it's all he can do. His goal is — as usual — to create some kind of chaos somewhere that he can exploit to find a way out. He was hoping his visit to Chins after the lection would provide a way around seconday sanctions, and barring that, he would have really liked it if China had invaded Taiwan. But none of that worked out and now he will do the only thing he can that offers a small chance of getting out of the war. He will continue to destabilize Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and take advantage of any problems that emerge which might distract the West.

  5. It's only you guys who stoll talk about Putin's losses. You must be living in an alternate universe.
    Ukraine is losing bro, the wonder and game changing weapons have done nothing.
    Stop the madness today and call the both parties to compromise.

  6. Spain was ruled by blacks for 750 years.

    Blacks defeated Italy.

    Turks were from Central Asia, Mehmet II, Turkey ruled Greece for 400 years.

    Avars were from Central Asia, Avars ruled Austria for 200 years.

    Hungarians were from Siberia.

    In the battle of Singapore, Japan lost 1000 soldiers and took 100,000 POWs.

    In the battle of Hong Kong, Japan lost 700 soldiers and took 10,000 POWs.

  8. Russia just doubled the initial, one time payment for individuals who sign a contract to fight in ukraine.

    Its been increased to $4600. Considering many thousands were willing to sign up when it was only $2300, im guessing putin will unfortunately have many more thousands who decide to fight.

  13. What is actually interesting is the prisioner exchange. Did not involve the Kiev regime at all. They were keep out of the loop completely. This is not good news for Kiev

  17. USA is out of personal to and having many fronts to controll. And Russias backyard aint ideal area to employ due to 8 decades of cold war witch now is a fackt again. And its not popular to start bring in many to millitary education now befor the elections in USA. China and USA having a cold war in asian sea. so Russia aint aolne to having limits on people and material. 155 shells seams to be a big problem in NATO.

  19. I like Hanson and his enthusism for the Ukrainian cause, but he ignores that fact that you cannot give weapons sensitive for fear of them selling it to the Chinese. American/Nato background support for the F16 is not suitable. The Swedish planes have been put in that space. They are not sensative to theft and are of no consequence risk.

  20. Ukrainian losses are causing Zelensky lack of men. Zelensky's mobilization is not replacing the losses. The title of this video contains the word 'could'. Could, would or should does not work a in war. Could, would or should are used for wishful thinking policies. God knows, we heard enough of that in this war by politicians, media and military brass. Look at a map where the front is moving.

  22. I believe a 129 F-16s have been pledged to Ukraine, and some Mirages as well.
    Not all of them airworthy though, a couple dozen are mostly for spare parts.

  23. I served and was wounded in Ukraine. I will forever consider myself Ukrainian on some level. I have grave concerns about the pathetic level of response provided by the West, my country and particular. That said, I also have grave concerns about the mobilization. The fact that it's not ages 18-65 and that people are not beating down the doors of the enlistment offices to serve, makes me question the will to win…live… among the younger Ukrainian population. It makes me very sad. This war makes me sad on every level. I would prefer that wars be fought by old guys my age, but that won't keep Ukraine alive.

  25. so what he says Russian looses could be a problem but Ukraine looses which are 4-5 times more no problem maybe not to him not so sure about Ukraine how they feel

  26. Gorbachev was right when he said that alcohol had destoyed the country. It's a country that doesn't need critical thinkers, only obedience and tv. And the tv is winning over the fridge.

  27. Civil war broke out in ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ UK already ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ”ฅ

  35. I am curious why your channel is the only channel that is reporting that Russia is losing. Every other channel is saying that Ukraine is losing, badly.

  36. Quite awesome power the Russians still seem to be exerting over poor Ukraine. We must continue to support Ukrainian aerospatial developments so that they stand a fair chance to win.
