@@techarch8851 maybe if Russia wouldn't threaten to invade and attack its neighbors all the time then those said neighbors wouldn't feel so inclined to seek protection from the West and NATO. The fact that Russia considers other countries as rightful part of its own sphere of influence and wants to keep them as puppets says enough. Russia has only itself to blame.
It just blows me away that a Russia actually thinks that it can invade the Ukraine and then be shocked when the Ukraine fights back, and the rest of the free world supports them. It’s like an abusive narcissist who tries to turn the table and make themselves look like the victim when they are actually the one who’s the aggressor.
@James-th9nm And there it is, the hypocrisy of Western nations, lol. Allow Israel to conduct their war in any manner fit. However, when Russia commits any war crimes, let's say, murdering journalists, Western media is all over it. Israel has done this since the start of the war. Lol.
It’s not a school bully, it’s a super power with the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. The democrats in the US are pushing this war, knowing full well Ukraine CANNOT WIN.
Also the west usually does it so that they first topple the anti-western leader, impose a new one(ring a bell?) then threatend the ruling class with tons of sanctions if they do not bow to the west. This is actually what was done to russian 2012 and Russia did not bow to the beast. So here we are.
Putin has threatened Nukes every inch of the way. We keep crossing the red lines he sets. If he crossed that line the world would come down on him, and possible radiation.
Enough with those red line! Our leaders are afraid of being afraid. If we want this war to end sooner, just lift these restrictions and let Ukraine do their thing.
@@Lykosas not really. If it ends in 5 years with Ukraine's surrender, the US and NATO will be humiliated. 30 countries, multiple years of commitment and support, all to end in defeat. It will be a painful reminder of Afghanistan
I honestly thought Ukraine was already giving permission to use the weapons in this area and I am not opposed to it. Ukraine is simply defending themselves. They should be totally allowed to use the weapons in Kursk Belgorod and any other bordering territory of Russia.
That's because russian army is a joke, if they could protect they border they would do that instead of using bots to threat the use of nukes. Putin has made Russia less secure.
Meanwhile in Ukraine, Niu-york city has fallen to Russians, 2 new towns surrendered in Avdiivka region to Russians, and Russians entered Turetsk “fortress city” from two directions .. but nothing to report on DW
But all the Nations of NATO can brag that they entered Russia proper without hardly a good fight. Shame on Putin as he has shamed his nation in front of even his allies.
The French started off light in their action towards Russia's aggression but they changed their tone. They have given a lot and have in recent months pledged all their Mirage 2000s. Let's remember all the support from all nations, big and small.
Early 2022: Russia has the second-strongest army in the world! Later in 2022: Russia has the second-strongest army in Ukraine! 2024: Russia has the second-strongest army in Russia!
Wrong their army was never No 2 from 1992 on as the Soviet union collapsed when they gave up communism and all the arms of the military were in disrepair and was sold of the the highest bidder ( look it up ) as honestly you could have brought any item from subs to fighter aircraft. The Russian army did not really start to rebuild till well after the Georgia Coup in 2004? and where not that strong even in 2014 as they knew by 2020 they had to get their fingers out.. All facts. Cheers
So the USA is putting pressure on Ukraine about how Ukraine is using US weapons. Yet acts like the USA can't tell Israel anything about how they're using US weapons? Right..
Yeah, Kurt Vaulker is the right person to comment in this war he has more knowledge than most analyst in this war as he is the former US Ambassador to Ukrain and he is a Russian expert knows Putin very well.
Even if the bunker should be strong enough, he would never see the sun again ever in his life. The air above would be full of drones armed with hellfire missiles waiting for bunker-grandpa to stick his head out. Thereby he would have lost all power outside his bunker.
Seriously? How long is DW going to carry water for Putler? He knows that pushing the nuclear button will turn himself and his pathetic subjects into cinders.
@@machovalkarie7896they keep blabbering about red lines when clearly there aren't any. If you compare the February 2022 putin statement to what is taking place today, the "red line" is about 20km behind, figuratively speaking
@@sergeybebenin you don't understand. they built an empire of lies, funded by zillions of euros/dollars where experts are paid for "research" and for speaking their "knowledge" about scary russia, red lines and such. if there are no red lines and russia is just a mockery what about all there good for nothings who lived off this lie for decades?
Before Putin invaded Georgia, Crimea, Donbas and the rest of Ukraine, he stopped talking about any reference to invading them. When Putin threatens to use nukes is when he is least likely to use them. When you have to worry is when he stops threatening to use nukes. As far as I can tell, he stopped talking about nukes when Ukraine invaded Russia. Normally you would think that would be the time when he would most threaten to use nukes. Just an observation.
Unfortunately it dosent matter. As soon as he threatened the use of one the 1993 Budapest memorandum came into play and the united states is obligated to defend Ukraine under treaty or have their nuclear umbrella collapse which scientists in the 1970's and 80's concluded would lead to an eventual nuclear war.
@@jamessmithson-br7rm I suspect he was at least developing a plan to use it. Because of the distributed nature of decision making in launching nukes in Russia, it isn't just pressing a red button. Putin probably realizes he can't just use nukes tactically in Ukraine. If he uses nukes, he would have to at least develop a target list of concentrations of NATO and other US militaries as well and make sure that targeting information is sent to every launch group.
Haven't heard drunken Medvedev make any new annihilation threats against the West since Ukraine marched into Russia. So I guess it was a drinking joke all along 😂
They have had men sneaking around red square for over a year I remember a soldier posting his patch in his hand in front of that famous building in red square and posted saying “we are closer than you think”
Russia is not yet in a desperate situation to use nuclear weapons against a country without nuclear capabilities and not even in NATO or the G7. It would be so humiliating if Putin used them.
Ukraine has all the rights to do EVERYTHINGS, ANYTHINGS, WHATEVER until Russia gets out from all Ukraine territories which included Crimea...as simple as that...
Kursk and Belegarod are historically Ukrainian land too. I think giving them to Ukraine for 50-100 years before a referendum sounds like fair compensation.
How come nobody's asking the good people of Russia in Kursk yet what they want? Maybe they want to be a part of the EU & NATO too some day. Maybe Kursk wants independence as badly as the Ukrainians all do. At least ask them & give them a hand to play in their own future. Never hurts to ask, nothing ventured, nothing gained, and the answer may shock you, possibly even help your position, making Ukraine much stronger, not weaker. If Ukraine can spark off a new bid for independence inside of Russia, it's possible the Ukrainians could quickly flip Putin's own population against him if they thought the Ukrainians & the West would back their own play for independence from Russia. What will give other regions the courage to come forward to also seek independence. Putin would be finished. The Ukrainian military can be what gives ordinary Russians the courage to fight back against Putin. Maybe the only ones that can do lend that type support they so desperately need right now. Ukraine can flip the whole narrative of this war by turning it into a rescue mission to save Russia from Putin's grip.
Putin can deal with Kursk whenever he wants, it is a low priority. The West will never allow Ukraine's sovereignty over Kursk and the Ukrainians will never be able to keep it. The fact Ukraine had to go there and has given up on the Donbass and Crimea means Putin has won, as that was what the war was about
@@Umm-p6wthat's because the USD was a tool used to ruin the russian economy. They almost exclusively trade oil and gas in Yen 💴 Becuase their currency is useless.
My question is why we have so many restrictions on Ukraine to preserve Russian monuments and statues, but we have zero restrictions on weapons being used in a civilian genocide in Gaza?
@@cwpv2477 we are all too busy rolling on the floor laughing at putin crying to the United Nation when hes the one who wants a world without rules but cries at Ukraine is not following them🤣
Russia's army used to be considered the second most powerful army in the world. Then it was considered the second most powerful army in Ukraine. Now it's considered the second most powerful army in Russia.
In post-apocalyptic radioactive wasteland while you skin peeling from your face, you lamenting: How could this possibly happen?! we had 256 warnings!!!
The fact that Ukraine has been beating back the Russians this long with 1 arm tied behind their back is beyond impressive... of course Ukraine should be allowed to use its weapons as it see's fit... they are in a just defensive war
Elephant in the room is, why is he so adamant on sacrificing everything Russia to acquire just 18% of Ukraine? He seems like a die-hard cult fan. You'd think the option on the table of simply not invading Ukraine would be something people would be offering, asking about etc.
Top soil erosion. Controlling strategic points. Other ( than top soil ) resources. Which is - advantage. Exactly the same motivation the other side has. Everything in the MSM is bull. Common, people, are being. Played.
Bcuz Putin wanted to go down as Alexander the Great. Putin thought it would be easy to take all of Ukraine before Ukraine joins NATO and Putin thinks a Trump presidency will give him Ukrainian land, which Trump would totally do for his little boyfriend w/man boobs but Trump won’t be winning the election. I’m sure they will try all kinds of stunts, conning supporters into believing Harris stole the election. They will try to not certify elections, saying there r a lot of irregularities, trying getting the suit up to the Supreme Court, hoping the judges Trump placed on the court will choose loyalty over law, etc but in the end, like 2020 election, Trump and Putin will lose the 2024 election and Trump will possibly move to Russia to escape charges and possibly prison/home confinement.
what do u mean he still gained way more land, economy is growin, west suffering more (less growth) n west isolates china further giving him an forever ally. I dont like all this. But its what it is
Russia has a spent and constrained force. Throwing men at Ukrainian defensive positions allows them to slowly gain ground without regard for the death toll, but Russia can’t defend the entire border, move men effectively to other locations, and does not have the forces to respond in Kursk.
We need a petition to lift the restrictions. Let European tax payers vote where their money should go. UK alone spends 500 billion pounds on forced migration per year...
Prigozhin crossed these “lines” long ago, were any nuclear weapons relesed? Scared Europeans thinking about every outcome possible instead of preparing for war. Europe is just one big bystander effect
What were they going to do like, nuke ther own country? Prigozhin was nothing like this situation and people will sharp think differently if Putin decides to rage nuclear attacks. Unfortunately Ukraine has zero chance of winning this war and anyone that thinks differently is living in a Hollywood movie
Lets all keep in mind, all other things being equal, that an 80kt nuclear warhead used tactically is going to cause very different destruction than 80kt nuke used strategically. Right?
Good, send everything you can and finally lift those ridiculous restrictions and allow Ukraine to hit anything they like. And if the US is holding UK back, then just ignore it, give green light and revert back to US after (as always) nothing escalated due to this and say: see? Now go and search your backbone
Canadian doctor Ben Thompson tells the story of a doctor in Gaza who was forced to strip naked and stand for two days by Israeli occupation forces, urinating, and deficating where he stood. He was only allowed then to treat his patients while naked.
Many Putin supporters believe that Ukraine mistakenly attacked Russia. Some naively made up that Zelenskyy had declared regret. Fourteen reasons why Ukraine attacked Russia: 1) Switching from defense to offense boosts the morale of the Ukrainian army. 2) Makes the Russian people distrust Putin and shows Russia's inability to defend. 3) Russian pilots and missiles cannot freely drop bombs or fire as they did on Ukrainian soil. 4) Russian troops have to spread out to protect thousands of kilometers of the border. 5) Makes Russian troops lose morale when the rear (Russia) is attacked. 6) Putin will be angry and fire personnel (change generals, ministers, etc.), which will cause many inappropriate changes. 7) Russia will have to spend time and money to build a new defense line. 8) Russian pilots and missiles have to fly further because airports near the border are destroyed. 9) There are conditions for negotiations. 10) Make NATO countries support and trust. 11) Have to spend effort and money to evacuate >120,000 Russian civilians. 12) Putin forced the Russian parliament to approve the use of Nuclear when Russia was attacked, making NATO & the US afraid of this red line. Ukraine's attack on Russia proved that Putin did not dare to use Nuclear but only threatened. 13) Captured many Russian soldiers because most of them were children of high-ranking officials, so they were allowed to stay in Russia and used them for negotiations. 14) Obtained information on Russian troop movements and military supplies.
@@dannyle4574 the points listed sims somewhat true, but what did we know that great man think to do with his silence as he do before the war in ukrian!? I have a doubt some thing horrible for ukrain...
Ukraine was a red line..You would be fool to ignore that. He was patient for years about Ukraine..Stop pushing people to do stuff they dont want to but have to..That will in the end be the lesson for the west..We are not the only ones in the world who have concerns about security..
The Budapest Memorandum is null and void. That means Ukraine should be allowed to do whatever it needs to restore it's borders, i.e. be allowed to restore their nuclear capabilities.
putin is too scared to use nuclear missiles, they will be sanctioned by China and NATO will step in with their own army. putin is frightened of NATO's army and also there will be a total collapse of the economy if China sanctioned russia. There is nothing to gain with using nuclear weapons
The only problem with those threats is that your amateurish journalism is doing Putin's bidding. With click bait titles like this one you are fulfilling Putin's purpose, to scare some Europeans who don't understand the situation but could influence decision making. It doesn't matter what the video actually said. Too many people only look at the title and you are damaging European security this way.
By bowing down you increase the chance of nuclear war. It sends a clear message that he can use these threats to get anything he wants. There is no other path forward, Ukraine must be supported until Russia is defeated.
they cant win against Ukraine, if they use a nuke they will be at wat with a large part of the world... If Ukraine can capture 60 towns in 10 days. what do you think germany, poland or the USA will do to russia?
@@imperatorvespasian3125 Putin has shifted redlines a dozen times, first with if nato helps Ukraine it will attack nato, that never happened, if nato supplies ISR it’s in a war with nato and will attack nato aircraft, never happened, if USA sends f16s so on and so on
Russia is using other countries' weapons on Ukraine with no restrictions. Weapons given/sold to Ukraine shouldn't have any restrictions. NATO also has nuclear weapons that can destroy Russia as well
I wish you would stop talking about this and focus on Ukraine's victories. It's almost like you're making it worst for Western countries to do their thing during this war :( :( :(
People dont realise that Ukraine is using EVERYTHING they have, BILLIONS in money and weapons from the West. Russia is using a small amount of what they have.
I'm sure they were just buying artillery shells from North Korea and drones from Iran for fun. Not because they have trouble making those themselves. Noooot aaaat aaaaaall..
Tiếng Việt sau nầy; bây giờ là tiếng Anh. Ukraine's successful advance into Russia at such depth in such a short time => Russian defence is very, very bad (and Russia is about to surrender), # or Russians let open a trap, # or Russian people now have a mortal reason for a do-or-die war. # The main purpose of this Ukrainian attack into Russia is MONEY + MONEY + PROFIT. # Ukraine would need at least 200,000 troops attacking Russia on many fronts if it hopes to make a significant change to its current grim situation. # With only a few thousand troops in a pocket on Russian territory, the Ukrainians would soon all perish, or surrender. # Maybe the real purpose of this Ukrainian suicidal attack is to draw NATO troops into the war. # => Larger war, more soldiers => More profit for the US coorporate owners' war-making business of selling ammunitions and guns, bombs and tanks, military hats and boots, .... plus LNG (replacing Russia's) and wheat (replacing Ukraine's), plus Ukraine's signing debt papers non-stop, plus Ukraine selling its land and assets on the cheap, .... # That is, more profit for the US thousand-billion-dollar business.
