Ukraine frontline: What the winter killing fields are really like 

The journalist hardly put his life on the line. He went to a very quite part of the front. It is so much worse than this report could ever show. And that’s because I know people on the real front.

i mean ya hes in a combat zone but hes putzing around in medic areas and backline command posts while showing bodycam footage to make it seem hes right there in the action

Ukraine is a cakewalk for journalists compared to Gaza

journalist? This is a propagandist bringing you a screwed view of the story only.

Nobody cares about Gaza you clown.

I wouldn’t call this stark. It’s typical imbedded journalism, what they want you to see. Give the public just a little bit but still make it look hopeful. Same as in Afghanistan and Iraq. The battlefield has become a total horror show with drones coming from nowhere and everywhere. Total revolution in warfare and this report doesn’t show it at all.

After a few minutes, they say "AR-15 assault rifle". Which it is not. It is the semi-automatic knock-off of the American M-16, which indeed has a fully auto firing mode.

@@donaldduck830 Oh no! Yeah lets disregard the entire video because someone didnt have enough experience with weapons so the name he used for this rifle was incorrect.

When I was in the army we were educated to keep batteries under the outer layer of our clothes, dry and warm and only take them out for use. "Oh look, my little drone is frozen" should see the dude get a non-judicial punishment (a black mark in his permanent file), some quick retraining (if needed hands-on) and a retry. Like I really don't get how anybody including the ukrainian high command can be surprised that suddenly it is winter and on top of that, it gets cold in winter in Ukraine. What is happening here and how stupid can people be?

@@donaldduck830 Nobody is claiming that winter took them by surprise - they are annoyed that the batteries on their drones drain too quickly and malfunction.

You do understand that Russia's interests are to take over not just Ukraine, but multiple countries until they can make their borders defensible again right? That means Estonia, Moldova, Lithuania, Romania and Poland. There is no negotiating with Russia here, they will simply rearm, regroup and continue an attack. Peace talks are not an option with the terms Russia wants, not on a principled level, and not in a reality grounded level. Nor would Russia frankly keep the terms.

So I'd like to know what round they feed this SMG with. That is the main issue with an SMG. de SA3BOW

The sad part for me is the EU and the US starting to lose interest and not caring who wins. The best case scenario for the Ukrainians is that they will go back to the Donbass scenario of holding the line indefinitely or until, after a few years, Russia has replaced its losses and has another go. If we'd just been honest and said ' we'll help you not get overrun and after that it's your problem' rather than 'we'll help until you win', they would not have got their hopes so high only to be (apparently) let down. There's a familiar pattern to western led wars in recent decades: we go charging in all guns blazing right up to the point it becomes a difficult protracted conflict and then literally run away, leaving chaos in our wake (Afghanistan, Iraq). It sets a bad example and (imho) encourages players to take action. China has noticed this and so, obviously, has Russia.
