Ukrainian troops are leaving Google reviews for shops and restaurants they encounter on Russian territory. It's a hoot to read. "Great food but not enough parking for our tanks." "The employees even speak Ukrainian." "They accept payment in Hryvnias." "They had the tools I needed to fix my tank. On my way to Moscow now." LMAO. Clearly morale is very high on the new front.
If you think the corrupt fools in Ukraine are bad asses you need some counseling! They are no better and just as corrupt as Russia is and a chip off the old block. Wake up
Why? March 2014 Ukraine dammed Crimean Canal and 86% of fresh water to 2.2 million, mostly poor farmers, men, women and children just trying to survive in Crimea after Russia annexed it. Obama, Biden and Ukraine didn't give two shits if 2.2 million former citizens starved to death after damming of Crimean Canal and the dam did not get removed until 2 days after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. I support the people of Crimea but FJB, FVP, FVZ and all of the warmongering aholes that support these snakes.
WOAH! Colonel Leighton was my Unit commander when I was stationed at Goodfellow Air Force Base in the early 2000s. I was in the 316th TRS fresh out of basic. One Sunday, a tornado hit the base and he drove down after and knocked on every single dorm door to make sure us young Airmen were OK. He was immensely fierce and sharp but also had a heart of gold. He was the best commander I ever had!
*How many soldiers lost NOW, due to this desperate and disastrous misadventure?? ... These idiots think they can do what France and Germany failed miserably in trying to...?!?!*
@@paulaitix77 Lol, he's right, Boii. Those nuclear countries aren't sending their own troops. This is a country, that gave up it's nukes, going balls to the wall hard against the largest nuclear power in the world.
Bro, it’s a publicity stunt. Why would you invade Russia versus trying to save your own homeland? The Ukrainians are getting slaughtered in the Russian territory, dumb move
*How many soldiers lost NOW, due to this desperate and disastrous misadventure?? ... These idiots think they can do what France and Germany failed miserably in trying to...?!?!*
I hope us in the West realize that the only reason we haven't gone to war with Russia yet, is because Ukrainians are a bunch of badasses and didn't just roll over and let Putin take them
@@bruceradztb russia still holds ethnic Ukrainian lands since ru empire and ussr. Check ethnic population map and you’ll see that cities as Kursk and Bilgorod was Ukrainian
@@Wolfvain-qs5suYes, and we should continue to list the same for every country that is conducting military operations on foreign land to further their own agendas imo
Putin has his entire army bogged down in Ukraine. So, Nobody is defending Chechnya, Siberia, the Finnish border, Kaliningrad, Dagestan, Sakha, etc.When Russia unravels, and it will, Russia will get much smaller, very quickly.
Don't underestimate the Russians. This is not a turning point at all. They are evacuating their citizens so they can go all out scorched earth on the Ukrainians.
@@ght-ps6uf You guys have been saying that for years while you've been getting trounced on the battlefield. What are you waiting for? Do something that isn't pathetic and incompetent. We're waiting. When does Russia stop fighting like a drunk with a back injury?
@@redrick8900 You don't get it Russians and Ukrainians are the same people. Ukraine was formed in 1991 before that it was the USSR or part of Russia. So Russia doesn't view Ukraine as some foreign land to just go complete scorched earth on. If they wanted to completely destroy Ukraine they most certainly could but they would be essentially killing their own. Hearts and minds is a thing
@@redrick8900 Which is also why when they rolled into kyiv two years ago they weren't just leveling everything in sight. They expected to be viewed as liberators from the NATO installed puppet Zelenski but nationalist propaganda is a powerful tool just look at how Hitler used it. You get enough people who form some national or religious identity and they'll fight to the death for it.
Canada is 14th on the Press Freedom Index vs USA's fifty-sixth place and are very well informed vs Americans who think tucker Carlson's love of putin is righteous. Murdoch's parasitic brain fungus has made 1 in 7 Americans dumber than owlshit. Trump supporters say he has never lied. Aussies and Kiwis are also well-informed.
Seems to me Ukraine's problems started around 2013, when Victoria Nuland showed up in Kiev to distribute her poisoned cookies to an unwitting population.
Every analyst keeps mentioning this pipeline as a motive. Have they not noticed that the pipeline already goes through Ukraine? If they wanted to stop it they can stop it anytime. It's irrelevent.
In Ukraine’s interest to keep the gas flowing as some of their allies still need it to get by. Cut off the gas and those allies may not be so allied going forward.
just like the pipeline that was destroyed. Russia could have just shut off the valve feeding europe. US bombed it and showed how much they really care about Europe in general.
Yes, the Ukrainians could have blown the line at any time. And yes, the Ukrainians realize their allies would suffer (with possible blowback to Ukraine) if they blew the line. But don’t underestimate the significance of the line actually being destroyed not by the Ukes but by Russia. The huge pumping station was just blown by Russian stupidity. The monetary loss to Russia will be huge. The repair zone is under Ukrainian control. The pipeline is not irrelevant.
@@randyscrafts8575 Is that why Russian flags are flying in Ukraine...oh wait, Ukrainian flags are flying in Russia now. Tell tucker carlsson to do a road trip to Ukraine.
@@randyscrafts8575 Yet they're now in Russia taking town after town... not bad for a nation that already lost. Continue underestimating your enemy, it works in our favor.
Personally as a Ukrainian Greek this is actually the best news ever Russians need to learn the actions have consequences they have not suffered how normal Ukrainian does every day buy Russian soldiers and missiles so seeing their own place being taken over maybe for a while should bring him a point of view and leave Ukraine permanently
Just imagine how easy it would be for NATO to invade the place, with all their weapons and having superior air power as well. Ukraine has done all of this with virtually no air support at all.
Putin said Hitler invaded Poland because it was historically German, and justified. Mexico could use the same logic for half of America if a Mexican Putin/Hitler was around.
@@zenith7024 Lmao okay Ivan. Tell Putin to stay with from windows and food in general in his many mansions too, while russian casualties flirt with ww2 numbers.
Great work? Billions and three years later and just decided to go on the offense? Time to de-fund and walk away from Ukraine who is just as corrupt as Russia.
Это говорит о том что у людей в целом память как у рыбки гуппи. Посмотри какую территорию и как быстро заняла армия России в начале сво. У России ОГРОМНАЯ граница с Украиной. Вторгнуться числом в 1000 солдат, пройти 20 - 30 км и закрепиться это не так уж и сложно. Особенно если по пути нет оборонительных сооружений которые 10 лет к ряду заливали бетоном. А вот полноценно контролировать эту территорию и удерживать продолжительное время.... Это уже другое дело.
@@ДаниилДаниил-к1ы The truth is that Russia fights like a bunch of neanderthals including their tactics. The only reason for their advances was huge material superiority a brutality. Nothing else.
@@ДаниилДаниил-к1ыRussia didn't occupy any new territory at the beginning of the war. It made incremental gains and then lost them. Russia is entrenched along the territories it stole from Ukraine in 2014. Yes, it's easier to take territory that is not defended, but there are now 4 Ukrainian brigades in Russia (4000) and these are well trained, battlehardened troops up against Russian border guards, security forces, and drunk, ill trained conscripts. And the Ukrainians are digging in. This is obviously going to be another battle line. Russia doesn't know how to strategize.🤷🏻
I think Col. hit on a key point. This could be, along with their efforts in weakening the defenses of Crimea, setting the stage for Ukraine to be able to safely begin using their F-16 assets to degrade the Russian forces on Ukraine territory. They’ve said a lot of the attacks come from the Kursk region.
I thought that I saw a report which said that Ukrainian forces had figured out an effective way to take out Russian air defense systems and were taking out one per day and that Russia had only 50 such air defense systems left at that time. Take that with a large grain of salt but if true that would be very good news for Ukraine in regards to being able to use their F-16 jets effectively.
Should they though? I don't think so. As long as Ukrainians are able to get more territory, they increase their bargaining power for peace talks which are likely years away as currently there is zero to no incentive for Russia to admit defeat. If and when the real peace talks come, the outcome to look for is full return of the annexed and contested land and reparations for years to come Germany-style.
You propaganda victim dont even know that ukrainians were always a minority in Crimea, so outcome was always the same, especially after Ukraine shut down water supply and electricity supply to people, who they call their "citizens'.
Well, I understand that people who are only still following western mainstream news really think Ukraine are still winning huge. So you genuinely believe that Ukraine are able to keep this area inside Russia?? If Russia leave them alone, made agreement with responsible politicians in Washington. Do you remember that huge prison exchange between the US and Russia right before Ukraine went into Russia !? That's a sign that they have a started talking to each other, I have heard from a formerCIa that the only way to get peace. Is if Russia agreed to give Ukraine something to negotiate with, he said that responsible politicians in Washington would choose doomsday before they get completely defeated and look weak and foolish for the world. He said that Russia have to give them a little media victory and have something to negotiate with. He believes that Russia would do it, agreement to save politicians in Washington. And choose to be friends with the US again, they understand that responsible politicians would never accept being completely defeated in Ukraine. People need to start thinking themselves, looks like people are swallowing mainstream front Pages straight down without thinking 🤔 It's not any secret anymore that Ukraine have a serious lack of manpower, not able to hold the Frontline. And people still believe Ukraine are able to hold on to area's inside Russia !?? Hello, anyone home !?? Start thinking 🤔 I hope that the US and Russia agreed to give them something to negotiate with public, because it's very strange that US and Russia had that huge prison exchange right before Russia open the doors for Ukrainian military. It was no fighting, Russia let them in. I find it very strange that people still after over 2 1/2 year's still are swallowing gov controlled western mainstream likeCNn propaganda straight down without thinking 🤔 😢 It's probably time to wake up....
I dont believe the allies have consulted this mastermind that wants force the world into World War 3 yet. My hope is they won’t either, they have played this strategic game quite well so far.
Imagine if in 1942 the Allies' major goal had been to sit down at the negotiating table with Tojo, Hitler, and Mussolini. There is no negotiating with a mosquito. It wants your blood.
International Crime Court, arrest warrants: Maria Lvova-Belova, Vladimir Putin, Sergei Kobylash, Viktor Sokolov, Valery Gerasimov, Sergei Shoigu. No further comment necessary
@tealsquare yet. Thats the issue, if one country in the world is stupid enough to use nukes... Its most likely russia rn. If they had no nukes, I would argue this war would already be over and russia under NATO hand. Starting a war, threatening to freeze europe, threatening to destroy the world with weapons of mass destruction... Russia lost its right to exist in this form, in 2022.
Putin asks Stalin ghost: "What shall i do ? German tanks are again in Kursk" Stalin answers: "Ask more help from americans and send ukrainian troops to the frontline!"
🤣 Putin: And what if they don't want to help us anymore and are now our enemies? Ghost of Stalin: Pray for General Winter! Putin: And what if they have better equipped soldiers and power generators for the civilians sponsored by Europe/US? Stalin: Trust in the Russian meat grinder! Putin: And what if - Ghost of Stalin: Son, why the hell did you repeat Hitler's mistake and piss off so many people??
Russian winter? You know we have climate change now. Russian grinder? Oh, Russians are drinking instead of procreating since your rule, Stalin. We don't have enough young people.
Just look at the recordings released by Ukranian soldiers on tanks in that area you see almost all houses still standing. Then look at the recordings of Russian soldiers running through villages they have conquered that's all the evidence you need. You will also see recordings of Ukrainian soldiers talking to the elderly left behind in Kursk oblast they are just talking friendly with them. Can Russia show such recordings? Again it cuts straight through all propaganda on Russia's side.
The US is just using Ukraine to bleed the Russian military of power & resources for fighting a war without provoking further escalation. Like putting a frog in a pot of water & gradually turning up the heat.
You don't get it. The US wants Ukraine to win, sure, but it's even better if they degrade Russia's capability as long as possible. It's a card game where everyone cheats. If the war drags on another ten years that's just a bonus for the US.
You assume they have the weapons and can use them freely. For the sake of argument, lets assume you are right on this. Ukraine still would need the manpower that is available in volume for a push and trained in the send weapons to make use of the weapons. Considering the stressed line in Donetsk I think that may be a problem and this is a move for tactical reasons with relative small number of men.
Sometimes in life. A group of little guys will become burdened by the control dictated by the bigger guys. And that group of little guys will hit that bigger guy all at once with everything they got. Food for thought.
@@CCSERVE-cn1ly I think you´re getting pretty mixed up about which side you are talking about. ruzzia´s `suicide mission´ is losing a thousand troops a day.
I think this is the stupidest thing the Ukrainians could have done. They gathered the best-trained forces and threw them north. The Russians will cut off supply routes and encircle these forces. The fate of Ukraine is not being decided in PR campaigns, but in Donbas (eastern and southern fronts), where the Ukrainians are suffering defeats every day, losing thousands of soldiers every day, and fortified areas that were built by the best NATO contractors over 8 years. They are suffering defeats due to a lack of ammunition and people, but contrary to logic, their command took people and weapons from there and threw them north for the media effect. The goal of the invasion in the north was to distract the Russians from Donbas. But the opposite effect happened. The Russians did not transfer forces from Donbas and increased the intensity of the offensive by one and a half times, and in the north, the Russians were using reserves. Do not forget that the Russians have several times more soldiers than the Ukrainians. The Russians have no shortage of ammunition and weapons because they have a powerful military-industrial complex left over from the Soviet Union. They produce three times more shells than the USA and all NATO countries. Unfortunately, an invasion in the northern direction will end in disaster for the Ukrainians.
You're full of it> yeah they produce so many shells they had to go to NK for some, they make so many missiles & Drones they had to turn to Iran. Tanks? 30 a month at best mostly not new, just refurbished. Couldn't mass-produce T-14 armata, can't mass produce it's fighter planes, new ships? Guess who was the backbone of that mighty MIC/IMC? ...Ukraine. Who built the Carrier (that Russia can't maintain/operate properly), the Moskva? Ukraine.
@@georgeporge7124 Exactly and the crazy thing is, how easily led people are by I think an over exaggerated news report that is to manipulate people to back more financing and more weapons being sent to the Ukraine. This is far from over, but people here seem to think it is, haha. It is crazy, very few people are able to think for themselves, so they rely on over exaggerated news reporting instead.
@@georgeporge7124 they are a democracy and aligned with your interests, full of resources (both material and human) and could be the final buffer (along with Turkey) to stop sh*t like this from Russia, every happening again. Don't forget, pin Russia there so you don't get f*cked in the Arctic race, in the middle East and in Africa 😉
Those F-16s, HMARS, Tanks, Drone's, Javelin have had a huge impact in the War!! Ukraine remember all those citizens, kids, elderly that were executed in cold blood defend your country..
@@Wolfvain-qs5su it would actually threaten the elites that support putin as this war as multiple analysts and political scientists pointed out, this war exists partially because the people in Moscow and Petersburg are untouched, once the elite get touched they will pressure putin one way or the other to end the war. They still have children who could die you know, an army at your doorstep is different from random drones flying in.
@@Wolfvain-qs5sulooks like you’re new to the human race. Moscow is the capital. Capital falls, government starts to fall. I guess you can take a selfie watching the city burn 🤳
I'm about sick of reporters thinking that they can just ask about specific military activities on national television, and expect an answer. It's like if two people were playing chess, and asking one person what move they are planning on making, before the other has made their move.
My thourght dead on dono why there giving then a hourly update of how the attack or defence is going like does no one know hush up and suprise instead of there at this location maybe moving over here 😂😂 fake details would be awsome but not the real plan sure the russians are sat on youtube watching everything vlad thats us on bbc wave for the camara 😂😂😂
If the Ukrainians wanted to cut off gas supply from Russia to Hungary that can do this at any of the many block-valve stations in Ukrainian territory, they don’t need to go to Kursk for that.
muSScovy / muSScovite Federation Muscovite tsars (Ivan the Terrible, Peter I) have stollen name "Russia" from Ukraine and Belarus. So it is better to use name muSScovy
@@Wolfvain-qs5su ooow, the scary banderites. Sorry bro. In the context of the soviet union conquering Ukraine in 1921 and subsequently the fight to free Ukraine from occupation in WW2, any Ukrainian admiration for Bandera is understandable from that perspective. If Russia hates banderites, they shouldn't have invaded Ukraine and give more people a reason to fondly remember all previous struggles against Russia.
It's weird how we live in weird times where a country allows another country to let gas flow through their country but the other country attacks X country but the one being attacked is still allowing gas to flow
Ukraine can't even do 25% of what they want due to UN leaders. This is a global political war while thousands of Ukrainians die. Also, it's never a good idea to destroy important objects. When you control them and can use the said items for negotiations..it 1000% better
As a Republican I don't care for Biden or Harris, but the one issue Biden has been great on is his support for Ukraine. Why didn't we see this invasion MUCH EARLIER IN THE WAR.
Our offer at the negotiation table is...we gonna let you go home, however along with your departure we gonna send you home with a bill of between 3-5 trillion dollars for all the stuff you broke while you were here
