Debate Assessing Ukraine's Battlefield 

Debate: Should Congress Stop Funding the War in Ukraine? Full debate video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rdtCyiKHtqE.html

This debate perfectly represents US politics. Two women with no military experience arguing about a war with two men with substantial military experience. It's just them emoting at the guys the whole time

Two women with no military experience, emotionally arguing about the war and getting support from the crowd is beyond me.

Did Putin or Russia say they are taking over entire Ukraine in 4 days ?!? I have heard the West say this but can’t find when did Russia say it.

Professor John Mearsheimer is just exceptionally intelligent.

Are these women sales persons for the military industrial complex?

she should send her children then, I guess it would not be that easy to talk about the war in that theoretical way

amateurs vs. professionals

The two women echoing the claim that if only we send them weapons then Ukraine will win is a fallacy. First there is no capacity to produce them right away, most of the money is backfilling inventories, secondly, wonder weapons cannot be counted on to change the war. So far none of them have, thirdly, Ukraine has lost 500K+ soldiers and have run out of new recruits.

These women want to send long range nuclear weapons? Where do they think this will end? Do they want nuclear weapons next? Warmongerers.

It is worth watching the whole debate. Thanks Open to Debate.

It’s scary that these two uniformed women get a stage to debate with prof Mearsheimer and Danny Davis. I know who’s opinion I’d listen to.

Russia's grain is also flowing. They are the largest exporter.

This video should be studied in the future to distinguish between *Delusion* and *Reality,* and Ukraine by then would have become a great example for that study.

Total disregard for the interests of the Ukrainian people by the two ladies. Just like disregard of their bosses for American people. Who are they? What is their expertise? Sad times.

Ukraine didn’t win any great victory in Kharkiv or Kherson. Russia withdrew from those areas when their initial invasion plan stalled. Ukraine simply drove into abandoned land and reclaimed it, they didn’t win some huge battle. As for the Black Seas Fleet. Ukraine could sink the whole thing and it woudn’t change the outcome of the war as this is a ground war. These women are delusional.

Ukraine has recived more than $100bn since 2022. If that's not enough, nothing will be...

Reason vs emotion. That pretty much sums up this debate.

Two women with no military experience at all and clueless about the war.

Show the whole debate please

Action speaks louder than words. I wonder if these two women would bet their life-savings on Ukraine winning?

The women, what are they talking about ? 😂😂😂😂

I once served in the Chinese army. My military career taught me that modern warfare is a military system versus another military system, not a weapon versus another weapon. Modern armies hope to use the same tank chassis with different combat turrets, the purpose of which is to be able to repair them with the same set of parts when damaged, reducing logistics pressure.

The military guys don't want war, and the ambassador lady doesn't want diplomacy. Ironic.

Two women who have never heard the sound of a gun in their life are arguing about a major war in Europe. Wtf

The lady mentioned Russia lost another vessel. Why doesn't she mention the Ukrainian losses??? 😂😂😂

What are they (the ladies) writing down, i wonder?

where is the full debate?

Why should we sacrifice our economy ?

Manpower seems to be essential.

Women.

😂.... this lady is speaking Nonsense

I would be very relieved if most of the western political elite were at that lady’s level but not Prof. Mearsheimer’s😂😂😂😂

Who are these women?

It's not really the number of troops but the superior tactics of the Russian armed forces

Women don't know combat of anyform.We're not the same. Their reasoning on anything us obscured ,just emotional outbursts

So sorry but I just see two blind and two realistic persons. I'm sure just by listening to them you know which is which.

1. If ukraine defeated Russia on the battlefield, Russia would resort to the weaponry it has intentionally refrained from using. 2. The issue with Ukraines ability is man power. You need men to use weaponry. Ukraine simply has far less manpower than the Russians.

Gets the impression that John Mearsheimer does not quite understand what he is talking about. What does the phrase “significant defeat under Bakhmut ” mean? Bakhmut is a small village, the population is 6 times smaller than Kherson, recaptured by the Ukrainian army. In that battle, the Russian army lost more people than the Soviet Union during 10 years of war in Afghanistan. In fact, today the total area (and population) of Ukrainian territory occupied by the Russians is still less than in April 2022. Where did the professor see the victory of the “second army of the world”? The issue of resources is not only a matter of population, the Russians can mobilize another million people, but the problem is that they have nothing to dress them in and nothing to arm them with, this is not a medieval war.

Who lost China? Then comparing the debates about the Korea Civil War and the Vietnam Civil War with the debates about this war, you will find that policy scholars have made many wrong judgments, because they don't confess the war is another socialism war after Communist Manifesto, so Dr. Kissinger makes the right judgment on Ukraine socialism warfare. Since the Democratic Party and the Communist Party have provoked each other and started another socialism war, we should defeat enemy quickly with all weapons, and not be afraid of the enemy's all weapons, because we have to defeat socialism parties. LORD bless us, may LORD has mercy on us.

Those women don't know what is happening on the battlefield Sorry to say. Just telling the lie's of the main steam media.😅

This debate is not meaningful,Ukraine only has two options,first one is continuing fighting by exploiting all of available resources,otherwise amalgamating in federal Russia again and enduring long-time national oppression.

This old crone said Kherson and Kharkov? That was at the beginning of the war. LOL.

It is a lame excuse that Ukraone is losing the war because the US doesn't want to donate weapons that can change the battlefield. Pure madness from the two ladies.

If you said, Ukraine doesn’t has enough ammunition it’s wrong because the west provided weapons to Ukraine more than Russia has.

Just before the failed countre offence the Ukranian generals and Zelensky said that they had had received all the weapons they needed to retake Crimea within a few month. So what these two women said at the end of the video that it's failed because of lack of equipment is actually misleading.

This lady is warmongering

Russia never said that war would take 4 days and in the initial phases of the war due to western interference in refusing negotiation, Russia did not retreat they withdrew to consolidate and built an impregnatable line , mounted an aggressive defense which has destroyed Ukraine's men and equipment! The Naval question never made any dint in Russian naval forces other than being a nuisance that had to be addressed!

I am still listening but isn't finding women to promote the war a sign of incredible concern from the lobby? Perhaps Mearsheimer should find a women expert in Offensive and Defensive Realism or perhaps I should. He has given a tremendous amount but asking him and others to promote individual women to counter the women fronted pro war / MIC = Military Industrial Complex might help? Shall ask AI...

to explain to women nicely. First, the presence of the Russian army in Kharkiv and Kiev does not mean that they were occupied or captured because here there are 4 million Ukrainians in the municipality of Kyiv and Kharkiv about 2 and here Russia cannot put people in power so easily without killing 2 million and Russia will not do such a thing something because it is not doing as Israel did, so it was a fake attack to divide the Ukrainian army and it was easier to capture the Black Sea, so there is no success here from the Ukrainian side, do not rejoice, except Kherson is here and that is the only success for Ukraine. Other Russia is BRICS and BRICS is half a world economy, so don't expect Russia to collapse, and Russia's war industry and army is 10 times bigger.even if Ukraine manages to penetrate deep into Donbass, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Crimea, it will face an Afghan war for the next 20 years because 8 million Russians or 90% live there. Do you think that Ukraine has enough strength and power for that? , the western powers are losing at the world level, the Russians are chasing them out of Africa and are losing resources, money and power, and BRICS already has a GDP 2-3 times larger than the western powers, so yes, that's it, Ukraine has no chance.

When you have two military men arguing to end war and two people from a think tank preaching war go with the people with experience in war. Eisenhower once said it NATO was around for more than 50 years we didn’t do our job. Meaning within 50 years Europe would have built up a military to defend themselves without US aid

This women is only providing talking points.

These lady’s represent all the failures over American Military Engagements for at least the last 30 odd years and going further back Vietnam

I detest this Mearsheimer. It would be all good if he just defended his Offensive Realism thesis, as flawed as I think it is. But he takes an active role against Ukraine and that I can't forgive him. Russia is not in good shape. Their economy is degrading every month and the only thing that went wrong for Ukraine was insufficient and inadequate support from the West: - Support comes slowly and with restrictions - Pressured to take a quick win results in a disastrous summer offensive with no air support (even if it had I would not have supported it) - Then months without getting even some ammo. If they get what they need, maybe Ukraine can't get a win, but they can certainly prevent Putin from getting his win and that is a lot.
