Wars aren't just won by line going across map. Haven't you seen situations in Hearts of Iron for example where a frontline is mostly static until one side attrits enough to suddenly collapse?

​@@ctrlaltdebugbut if you are a major power, ideally the situation wouldn't be attrition. And even in best case scenario for Russia, conquering Kramatorsk and the Donetsk oblast would take another 8 months.

@@ctrlaltdebug brother is using HOI to inform himself on real war

Exactly, Ukraine, getting 40 tanks from the west, isn’t going to change anything, especially when all of the resources to maintain those tanks needs to be built from scratch inside Ukraine. We are talking about a population of 150 million against a population of probably 34 million at this point the sanctions aren’t hurting Russia anywhere near the extent that people were convinced they would, most of the world isn’t even taking part in the sanctions because they view this as a war between NATO, led by the United States and Russia, with Ukraine, stuck in the middle. Russia will not, and cannot let Crimea fall into the hands of NATO, because that cuts off, rushes access to the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean, which is what this entire war is about in the first place.

@@conors4430 you know sochi and novorossiysk are on the black sea right? Losing Crimea would be a strategic blow but it's incorrect to say it would cut off access to the black sea.

Russian propaganda is hyping up their forward offensive even more, but doesn't actually do anything I'm not sure what point I was making, but I am positive about the ukrainian liberation, since they were doing really well

Plus the US has estimated that they will have moderate gains. I’m all for Ukraine winning but I think we should be realistic.

@Conor S The Black Sea is an irrelevant lake whose sole outlet is controlled by a NATO nation. There are NATO air bases and missiles all around the outlet so no Russian attack can possibly succeed. In other words, the black sea fleet is a waste of resources maintained for the sake of nostalgia.

Didn't bother to listen to this, Don't know what to believe...what's happening? Is Ukraine gaining the upper hand

@@basantatamang2249Well they lost about 74 tanks/armored vehicles in the first week, so not exactly. Though I would wait for further moves from both sides to deduce an ultimate conclusion

Just like the winter offensive video 😂😂😂 Must pay well to spout the msm line. Credibility will never return however, the internet never forgets. Short term gains exchanged for long term losses....

Not in my stomach, and I'm not lactose intolerant

XD that one got me laughing

Why does this not have more likes this is gold

If it’s a battle, that doesn’t mean anything, why is Ukraine pouring? Absolutely everything into it. It’s a major junction, which allows either side to project power into the Donbass. And the Russians nearly have taken all of the city. They have more men to spare, and they’re economy is not doing anywhere near as bad as Ukraine’s is.

@@conors4430 having eastern portion of your nation occupied obviously isn’t good for economy. Also your grammar confuses me, but I think the deal that it’s supposed to be some sort of moral victory and also for attrition in some kind

​@@conors4430if this were 1930s and 40s, you would be a traitorous quisling to the Nazis.

This comment is the only thing that didn't age well...

@@funnycompilationvillage7753 now YOUR comment didn't age well.

@@TheInfamousCanadian Now YOUR comment didn't age well.

I'm rooting for you

The whole world has your back... The whole world is amazed at what you and your fellow Ukrainians have done with so little... The whole world is horrified at what you've had to endure.... And once you have liberated whatever lands you are satisfied with... The whole world is going to help you rebuild...

Is it your impression that the offensive is overhyped? I have the impression that people are going out of their way to tone down expectations to the point where I think it's a deliberate information strategy. Some even express doubt there will be an offensive at all. That's ridiculous. We haven't seen any of the new weapon systems on the frontline. Which means they are somewhere, getting prepared. And any successful push, no matter how localized, will be able to really badly hurt Russian supply lines, thus laying the ground for pushing them out further. I too root for you and keep my fingers crossed.

@@antonnurwald5700 I second this feeling. There was a whole fuzz about ukrainians uparmouring the frontal weakspot of the Leo2s and cruising around in an assortment of western IFVs, yet there are eerily few if not zero videos going around about them being used in combat. western media has really tried to play up the supposed conflict about bakhmut between big Z and the generals, yet nothing came of it either. I am not saying they are going to somehow overrun the russians, they had far to much time to dig in, but if one of the fronts breaks like during the kherson offensive this going to be a real shitshow for the russians.

As an American I cant wait for the liveleaks, either way rooting for this like a football team.

makes sense, a tritium core would sell for alot of money, plus it's expensive to keep maintained. considering how much russian oligarch love scrapping their equipment to sell it for profit.

Tritium is produced as a byproduct by their nuclear powerplants, which are still very much operational. Also, their nuclear deterrent is absolutely crucial to their defense. I think even among all the corruption and incompetence, they would have their nuclear forces as a priority. Finally, their nuclear maintenance facilities are open to weapons inspectors. If they weren't being well maintained, the Americans would know. So they are very heavily incentivised to make sure they do. With all that in mind, I would put good odds on at least a significant portion of the Russian nuclear arsenal being functional.

@@jackroutledge352 Perhaps that was why Trump was so eager (or goaded into being eager) to end the mutual inspection treaties. It's certainly possible that the reason the US seems to be (cautiously) happy to provide so much support to Ukraine is because things aren't quite as scary as they could be behind closed doors.

​@@jackroutledge352 we do however know that weapon inspection is a very flawed process. There are tons of examples, but the retention of a massive biological weapons program by the USSR springs to mind. I am no expert on nukes, but faking radioactivity fingerprints would seem somewhat easier than hiding spore-milling machinery large enough to fill warehouses and virus labs requiring security features that can take years to get right.

​@@jackroutledge352What if the US claims that the Russian nuclear arsenal still functions, as an excuse to pour money into their military.

I didn't get that part, because I wasn't sure what the Taliban had to do with Iraq since that's an Afghan regime.

Afghanistan borders Iran.

Taliban were already US allies initially, so there's really nothing special about that

@@ianshaver8954 And Iran and the Taliban haven't always been on the best terms. In 1999, the Taliban massacred the staff of an Iranian consulate. Iran almost invaded. More recently, Iran has had repeated border classes, and also hosts Republican refugees.

Hey, at least a junkyard gives you a honest deal and plenty of options to work with… unlike Ivan’s junkyard

With that mindset, the goal is to get within artillery range of those rail lines in the south, so they can't be used. That seems very viable.

there is a lot of political pressure for something "big" though. a slow, grinding war is poison to keeping support up. I don't think ukrainians have the luxury to decide from a purely military strategic standpoint.

@@dmks2146 On the contrary, I think they do. The Ukrainian identity itself is on the line here, and what's happening now is basically what happened to the UK during the Blitz. All they're doing is making the population angrier and more willing to put up with even more shit just to make sure the other guy gets kicked out.

​​​@@dmks2146 I don't know, though. Western support, despite being slow, still doesn't show signs of pulling back down anytime soon, despite some divisive popular pressures. I don't think Ukraine can afford to just sit there forever and grind down the Russians in a static trench war forever, and it *sure* would be all the better if it gets its stuff together and do a reasonable push forward to keep and uplift political morale abroad. But I also don't think it needs to be something ultra spetacular on the level of the Kharkiv offensive to gather the eyes of the world towards it, so long as it shows it's still on the fight and that it has promisses for future operations. Whether this actually becomes true remains unknown and is yet to be seen, of course.
