@@dpelpal What is your reasons behind this comment when that State is not open to true polls that would reveal this welcome news

😄I had 2 Ladas in the 80's

Good

This system is used to trace missiles back to the launch site, this is why Ukraine hit it.

As the previous person said, this makes the crews operating ATCMS vulnerable. My suggestion would be a strategic move for Ukraine. It would allow further attacks to be made into Russia in the future... But the most sensible reason is - the Ukrainians havevbeen trageting air assets over this last week and a half, paving the way for the F16s they are about to start using. A new batch of pilots have just passed training, and those jets will be in the air in the next few weeks. The aid package from the states, along with all the new funding from the west is going to enable to push the Russians right back to the border in most places. I expect the Kerch is high on the agenda, as well as pusing the Russians out of Crimea and securing their southern border.

Isn't it pathetic that those radars had no defense against conventional drones or missiles, whichever were used by Ukraine to take the Russian radars out.

@@TheLondonForever00 F-16s, any day now,, 😆😅🤣

Under no political definition Putin is a fascist, call him an authoritarian leader or evil but fascism is an entirely different proposition.

Dump Von Shitzenpants in 2024 to prevent the expansion autocrats and tyranny.

Tyrans are the US and UK deepstates while their citizens believe they live in democracies. Obviously you haven't travelled that much to those countries were western media is allowed (not terrorist media though) while in US/UK ALL RUSSIAN MEDIA IS BANNED... And you think you live in a democracy :(

@Stop-propaganda The Ukrainian people's' determination to prevent a murderous, megalomaniacal tyrant Putin and his hench thugs from stealing their country is nationalism, nothing to do with the far-right. Stop repeating the horse dung being generated by the current Kremlin. Quit licking Putin's feet like a lovesick poodle, comrade. He's a loser. He's doomed. Get real.

@@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq Killing people to stay in power?

Nuclear powers can not fight each other ----they know it will be a tie and we all die. We can only be aggressive ( and that is what we are all about ) with banana republics and the Noriegas of the world. As I understand it; when Putin moved into Ukraine He basically threw the first punch on his fight with the whole West. It is obvious that he will rather TIE than Lose.The reason we can not answer, it is because if we do, it is going to be a TIE and WE WILL ALL DIE ! I am absolutely convinced of my analysis.

NUCLEAR POWERS CAN NOT FIGHT EACH OTHER ! THEY KNOW IT WILL BE A TIE AND WE ALL DIE.

NATO, not Ukraine, could do it, but at the risk of nuclear war, is this acceptable to you?

​@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq seems acceptable to those that are echoing this madness.

💩Poo'tin Who?

As someone who grew up with MAD pounded into my head in school, it really is strange to see this conventional warfare mindset occupy the brains of Russia, and it's also concerning as it is shifting the framework away from "nukes is a safety guarantor." Or at least it's shifting that perspective for them. I mean, are they afraid that MAD will become obsolete eventually with technological advances? I imagine it's possible, but it's also equally possible that any nation can conceivably keep up with counteracting MAD counters.

With the possible exception of a Chinese invasion into Russia.

@@NikosZaidGomez I can only offer a crazy idea. I've heard that something called a "neutrino beam" can render a nuke inert. Maybe it has been perfected?

@@NikosZaidGomez then you are really unknowledgeable .. even if u intercept all nukes and avoid destruction of properties its radiation fallout would still fall on the country it was intercepted and I guess it would be near or inside US or NATO airspace since no existing tech can intercept a missiles instantly after they launch .

@@NikosZaidGomez it's a crazy idea that anyone would use a nuclear weapon knowing that the country you fire against will fire a far greater amount back at you

I am an American, and I can tell you that I realize very clearly the risk to all of us if Ukraine does not win. If Ukraine does not win, both the US and the West will wind up fighting Russia later, guaranteed. Putin will not stop with Ukraine.

It's far closer to their home. There are also many in US Congress who seem quite sympathetic and on the take with Putin. I don't know if that's the case in Britain.

The correct term for a regime, such as contemporary Imperial Russia, is 'thugocracy'.

Take a look in your democratic mirror!

As a Brit, I can tell u the people are divided on the Ukraine issue and as for the talked about national service, from most comments I have read nobody wants to send their kids to fight for a govenment that doesn't care about them let alone fight in Ukraine. Asides, most of our politicians are worrying about Palestine and how it's going to effect their votes. Lol.

Многие из нас в России приветствовали бы их. Это правда.

Let's be clear, the only scenario in which this happens is if Russia continues down this path and worsens it. I think that Russians have this vision that Americans want to dominate them, in like a humiliation ritual sort of sense. But it just seems to me like a projection of their own perspective on how they view other countries. I was watching on their state TV a few months ago some guy talking about how Russia should unilaterally annex Kazahkstan because Kazahks love it in Russia because "they come work in Moscow as pizza delivery boys and get a salary." Like, what? I can't even... I could be wrong, but it certainly explains why they would think that's how others see them or want to see them.
