  2. My father being a proud Ukrainian suffered under Salin, his sister served 7 years in Siberia for just being Ukranian. You had the holodimor, which means murder by starvation that took place in 1933, millions and millions of Ukranians suffered and died of starvation. Stalins goal was
    to wipe out the Ukranian civilization. This act of terror was fortunately exposed by a fabulous journalist called Gareth Jones from Wales, tragically he was assassinated years later, probably by the KGB, however, there was no direct evidence. 2014 Crimea was annexed and in 2022 Ukraine was invaded, re the special military operation. I do not believe that this was solely down to the threat of Nato. Stalin was Putins false god and i believe was waiting for any excuse. This psychopath will not rest until he gets what he wants and anybody in his way will ultimately varnish or die.
    If Ukraine dont win this war, Putin will continue to press and take new territory from other eastern countries.
    Western allies must allow Ukraine to use all of its weapons for the sake of all the other baltic nations and the rest of the world.
    R.I.P Vladimir Putin.
    Slava Ukraini ❤

  5. Yes exactly… that is a good thought… however this is War! … War is not motivating anyone to fight… especially in Russia… if they didn’t volunteer for the money, they Aren’t going to volunteer for this …

    If anything more Russians will leave the country if they can. Winter is coming.

    Ukraine had to do something & it was great for a morale boost. They can pull back if they want to like they did in Krinky .. this is war. Surprising the enemy is huge! … being able to use maneuver warfare & swallow up a lot of land without having to fight in the trenches for every meter.

  6. So on the one hand, Putin wants to tell his people that everything is under control and there's nothing to worry about. But on the other, he wants to scare them so they fight? I don't see it happening. Unfortunately, however, Putin has no choice but to keep fighting, because a peace settlement at this point, where in the end, they actually LOSE RUSSIN TERRITORY, well that would get him unalived.

  7. That's because they're playing I'm gonna say it.I don't believe it's real because russia would already defend its defeat to them

  10. Ukraine doesn't need as many troops in Kursk as Russia needs in Ukraine to hold it because in the area they have gone into it was 80% Ukrainian and Ukrainian speaking already!

  11. Ukraine is pushing Russia to use nuclear weapons to get more support from the Biden administration which is what they all want. Putin is just waiting for Biden to be out of office to make their next move. Either way Ukraine had no chance

  14. 13 US soldiers died in Kabul and Biden didn't give a crap. He then handed over $85billlion in brand NEW weapons to the greatest terrorist organization, the TALIBAN. 4 Years later the world is a mess 2 major wars riots in Europe, 35,000 children into the sex slavery trade and skyrocketing food cost. They destroyed Trump's peace and prosperity. VOTE TRUMP!!!

  17. I totally agree with the point. Putin understands how important the motivation of troops and civilians is which they lack. It would turn on the mood of "mother land is in danger"

  18. What is the principal reason the Democrats are going to lose this election?

    Is it paedophilia ? Is war mongering ? Or is it total control of the media ? The answer is very simple.

    All of the above is relevant.

    But the principal reason for losing this election is Bilderberg LIES.

  21. This is brilliant analysis; not something her male colleagues have even thought of. We need more women more positions as fast as possible – (written by a white man).

  23. Fuck the theory.
    U the media hype russia and narrow minded leader second greatest miltary after United states.
    Fuck putin and russia miltary exposed by tiny country like ukraine.
    Nobody care ur miltary power
    U can't teach courage for ur miltary
    Courage u have it and u don't have it.
    Ukraine military has courage.

  25. I have a question to which I can't find an answer. If this is war, why is Russia showing restraint against an enemy with no nuclear capabilities? If Russia nukes Ukraine, no one is coming to the rescue and no one will retaliate against them.

  30. Sorry to say, but CNN seems to be exaggerating the situation. Instead, check out SKY News for a more in-depth analysis from former military and geopolitical experts.

  31. Nobody in the media gets it. Ukraine carved a circular path around many forward Russian positions to a) destroy ammunition depots and drone launching sites; b) boost their morale and sap Ruzzia’s (it sucks to defend ALL the time); c) encircle a large number of Russian soldiers to cut them off and either destroy them or force them to surrender. That will pay dividends later on when it comes to negotiations. Not everything has an immediate impact. Our 24/7 news expectations reduce military strategy to short-term transactional maneuvers. Can you imagine modern journos covering WW2 or the 100 Years War?? With hourly coverage and paid experts asked to make sense of every aspect of those wars?

  32. Slava Zelenskyj, the greatest general of all time. Unable to hold his front at home, he sends combat units on the offensive to Russia. Awesome. Followed by his constant loop: More weapons, more money! More weapons, more money! More weapons, more money! Zelenskyj (in the service of ???) always just asks about that. Of course, to end the war…

  35. Sometimes I ask, sometimes I wonder how an obvious thing becomes complicated, how the solution escapes the poor and the brain

    Well, we have expert scientists from earth to heaven, how come we didn't give a solution to something so simple, is it intentional and if not is it stupid

    And nowadays it's much easier as a combat pilot, I often used isolated fire and it's quite easy, there's a target, you lock it on the base and shoot at the target and the rocket does the job of chasing the target until it's destroyed, and today you can also do this on a laser and other anti-aircraft systems, especially with regard to a drone that moves much faster Low and foreign will save a lot of ammunition, but as mentioned, this system can also be assembled with all kinds of tools for shooting drones which, as mentioned, move slowly, that is, the solution to the problem in Ukraine, Israel, etc. exists, you just have to implement it, every pilot knows this, so why is it not in use to this day and everyone knows that how much he is needed

    and back and by the way the Russians can be attacked from behind that is from Boldorod towards Dumbas with air support they convince the Russians much more than they dream

  36. Kursk is a liberation of Russian not a threat of Russians. That is the difference between terrorist Russia and attacked Ukraine.
