The stakes behind Ukraine’s surprise attack inside Russian territory

1. Kursk: What a folly for the Ukrainians. They are wasting thousands of troops in order to attack territory they won't be able to hold on to.

2. They desperately want to start ww3 smh

3. What military purpose did this gamble carry?Aside from capturing a nuclear power station in that area – there is none. The station wasnt captured. Time to pull out and seek peace.

5. Zelinsky is a traitor to his own people.

6. From opinion polls, I get the message almost 50% of the voters is probably voting Trump. Suppose he wins, I hope that he will continue to support Ukraine. If he doesn't, what use is it to think about stopping China's world dominance. In any case, we have to support the rule of law, and although Ukraine still has a lot of work to do to battle corruption, please recognize how far they've come. I'm shocked about too many anti-Ukraine / pro-Trump remarks below this video. BTW, I'm Dutch, and I've been supporting Ukrainian refugees here in the Netherlands.

7. Go get 'em Vlad!

8. Uh oh

9. If that was a US weapon that was used, then it was a clear act of war.

10. Stalemate? Russia has one fifth of Ukraine now and are taking more territory everyday until they reach Odessa. Where is the stalemate in this?

11. The people who are the main threat to the US reside in Washington. They're the ones who are constantly pushing us towards war.

12. This is one of the many news sources that claimed that the 2023 summer counteroffensive would result in the end of the war and Putin's removal. They didn't even get through the first line of defense. CBS is a propaganda outlet.

13. Check out the initial explosion. Like a small nuke. It seems odd a single drone or missile with conventional explosives could make a 2.5 earth quake. Just my opinion. Mushroom 🍄 cloud and major after shock not normal. 😮

14. If Trump steals another election, Ukraine will be a memory and we'll see Russia attack our FORMER NATO allies!

15. 4:36 I don’t like this general talking about the Ukrainian conflict, they told like getting the Russian wins the fight and underestimate theUkrainian service men, actually they were running away from Ukraine when they saw the Russian getting close to Kiev, now that the Ukrainians are inside Russia territory the only things they wants is a nuclear weapon explosion. So this is a bad energy for the Ukrainian military. Here those so called generals don’t know how to win anything in this modern time. They just not have the bolls to secure a conflict after all it is about uniforms and con-decorations.

16. This "expert" is now commenting on problems he was instrumental is causing pretending he's always just been the observer…. and offering the same advice that contributed to the allowing the problems to fester and grow. That's rich….

17. No stakes. The US needs this proxy war to continue forever for irs military budget.

18. Aren't these Civilians under siege?

19. They are eating the dogs! They are eating the cats! They are eating the pets!

20. Putin, our ammo depots have biggest kaboomsky s

21. Products of russian military industry have become so toxic that the Kremlin is not only losing traditional defense customers but also some of the niche markets it dominated for decades. The latest example is Nigeria, which, despite having an active contract for twelve Mi-35 attack helicopters — a deal russia claims is "partially fulfilled" but Nigerian officials describe as delayed — is now turning to another supplier: India.

22. I don't care what anyone says Russia takes a big risk shooting missiles at NATO countries not saying he won't……….but NATO is 100 times stronger Ukraine

23. Don't tell trump what you don't want pootin to know

24. Nato,usa grow a backbone.stand up to puttin.

25. US must allow Ukraine to fully defend itself. No more of this half way support.

26. Nice picture

27. 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸

28. In order for US to win this war and punish Russia for trading with UK. She needs to put boots on the ground. The Grand Armee can never be defeated.

29. What type of Secret Service Zelynsky go

30. Russia is ending Zionist dreams of world rule!

31. Basicallyi dont understand why we need to be involved at all .. why we have to choose a side?

32. It’s hard to see what military objective this accomplishes. The land cannot be held and from what reports are out there there was really no military to defeat in Kursk. It appears Ukraine used forces to take land they do not need and will have trouble holding through a winter. It’s land they cannot settle or utilize for any economic purpose, either. It’s hard to see the logic of this offensive.

33. Ukraine should have been allowed to use ATACAMS before Russia moved its assets out of range.

34. Fix America First
