Anytime I heard Russia is LOSING the war, it brings me joy in my heart.

[videoinformer]

Those closing words were music: "I think they're gonna go all the way" "to push the Russians out". May it be so!

[jamesschafferius]

If Putin believes Ukraine is part of Russia he must the Ukrainians are his people. Nevertheless he doesn't mind slaughtering them. Ukraine was not part of Russia when it was joined to Lithuania and Poland. Ukraine has an independent history and Kyiv is a much older city than Moscow.

Most the russian tanks are on the Ukraine side anyway

"If all our adversaries were this brilliant, we'd be in really good shape."
"He doesn't even have enough tanks to fire all our javelins at."

This guy's dry comments are hilarious.

Putin's army has become "combat ineffective" due to casualties, loss of equipment, supply problems, and inclement weather. 35+% of their armored combat brigades have been destroyed. Putin refuses to withdraw them, and by the time he realizes there is a serious problem, his army in Ukraine will be trapped in place; unable to attack, and unable to maneuver. I had expected that by the time Biden met with NATO on 3/24/22 - that the Russian military in Ukraine would be combat ineffective, and from that point they will be subjected to encirclements and "Special Mop Up Operations." And today, those things are happening.

This guy articulated Russia's defeat so perfectly. This is checkmate for Russia

I was afraid I was going to get right wing bs reporting when I took a chance on this channel. I'm pleasantly suprised that the discussion of the NYT opinion piece, that I had read earlier, was informative and a good rebuttal. But, I'll watch a few more episodes before I become a fan.

When a three day invasion takes over a month and is still not sorted even I know this war is not going well.

[mlo]

I applaud all sanctions. But it's the spontaneous and unseen activities that are not being lauded and which I think are very effective too. Namely that many of the movers and shakers like transporters, shipping, factories etc. simply refuse to handle Russian goods and services sanctioned or not. It's like the unseen ants in the anthill. You only see them when the anthill gets kicked open. Kudos to all you silent marauders. Decline to transport. Decline to store. Decline to harbor, ships and goods, gas, oil, lubrication and toilet paper.

"If all our adversaries were this brilliant, we'd be in really good shape."
bwaahahahahaa

[jeffmcdonald]

The world, and especially those 14 United Nations countries who "condemned" this, need to completely cut off Russia with total sanctions.

[mr.pjcrowley]

Putin just can't get a break maybe he could call the country of Georgia to ask them if they can find the 11, 780 soldiers who deserted which is one more than he needs.

05:05 - Or is this misdirection? I've never seen a chess player sacrifice all their pawns in the first few moves. Well, at least not a good one.

[TheLoyalOfficer]

That map is very pro-Russian and this reporter is pretty lame. Putin can "take" whatever his army has right not - ok. But can he HOLD? No way.

[JiTiAr]

Dmitry is my favorite source.
Keep him showing up in this channel.

[barryc]

This is an analysis I finally agree with.

[marijanmadunic]

From Croatia: Let's not underestimate Putin. We don't care what he planned and didn't accomplish, who misinformed him, etc ... that's his problem.
That would be the same mistake he made, underestimating the opponent and thinking that we will be easy with him .... that he will win himself .... He will not!
We must understand him as the strongest opponent and launch such a plan that will drive him out of Ukraine.
It must not retain even a piece of Ukrainian territory, including Crimea.
People are dying, civilians, children, cities are destroyed, there are even more wounded .... all this is a very serious crisis and we must all unite and help the Ukrainians to expel him from Ukraine.
A lot of war material is spent every day and we have to supply them with constant quantities, and the Ukrainians will do the fight very well.

[majungasaurusaaaa]

They need more than just shoulder launchers. They need heavier stuff like jets and tanks to go on the counter offensive and push the russians out of crimea and donbas.

[wtang]

the point is not for putin to get more oil and gas. the point may be to prevent europe from having an alternative source of oil and gas, which kills his leverage.
