why don't you ask some communists to do it, you can tune in any mass media to hear liberal take on it, which is exactly what this channel will give you. he even uses "full scale offensive" - it's literally not even an offensive, they mostly got in, and sat in the same place for over 2 years now waiting for kiev to send them more targets, that's the opposite of offensive, and even if you could argue it was an offensive, tho I don't see how, it would still not come anywhere close to being full scale. they cannot by law do full scale offensive, cause they cannot deploy more than ...% of their troops. and, to make "full scale" part of his "mainstream media propaganda promulgation" more absurd, there's been constant stream of eager volunteers in Russia trying to get their medals as national heroes with least amount of personal sacrifice or risk to life, ever, that they've been sending them back home for stupidest of reasons like "you are missing one eyelash, can't fight, sorry". and out of masses that have been taken, most of them were training all this time and haven't seen a day of fighting. meanwhile, he claims that there's mass mobilization. yet some more parroting of western propaganda. pretty sure he, or one of his compatriots, falsely claimed that Russia is just as imperialist as usa, for doing a purely defensive war in ukraine

Well this is something to wake up to

Wild how you act like Bakhmut was a huge recent Ukranian loss, when it happened over a year ago now. It also was performed at a huge loss on Russia's side, with them losing 4x more troops than Ukraine to take the city. And then you skip over the entire Kharkiv and Kherson counteroffensives, where Ukraine pushed Russia out of huge swaths of land just prior to Bakhmut. If you wanted to pretend to be just reporting recent advances, you should have stuck to Avdivka and the border incursions near Vovchansk. This skips over the recent developments of the US and Germany allowing their weapons to be used (limitedly) on Russian soil, which has lead to the _actual_ recent advances near the Russian border to start being pushed back. This was even argued for by both sides in the US, noting that the aid bill didn't specify any limitations on the weapons. And as to why western support suddenly dropped, the US piece of it was actually because of Trump taking a pro-Russia stance, holding up aid bills with his MAGA compatriots in the House. Biden held strong against giving aid to Israel without aid to Ukraine, so both tranches of aid sat in limbo for over 6 months. As soon as Trump stopped blocking it (something that he finally figured out was a losing political play), the bill passed nearly instantly. You also skipped over over $1 billion in existing artillery shells being procured by a Chech-led initiative, which is due to start arriving this month. France has also been talking about sending troops to Ukraine mainly as a training or support role, not to fight against Russia directly. Macron did broach the subject of sending them to fight, but that was mostly seen as a diplomatic move to set up further escalations if(when) this war continues. And none of that even gets into the Russian propaganda that is the "oh, NATO did an eXpAnSiOn" lie.

It means you can't trust the west. That is the lesson.

Why don’t you mention the Budapest memorandum?

7:41 Watched only to this point, and already want to clarify a couple things. Minor ones. First one is really non issue, but a wrong name used. You called the 2014 coup "the orange revolution" which is wrong. The orange revolution happened around 2004. It did involve Yanukovich, but rather than overthrow. He did win a 2 stage election, but mass protests claimed that the election was rigged and demanded a re-vote. Which was eventually conceded and instead of Yanukovich the elections were won by Yushenko. The 2014 coup is called "the revolution of dignity". And second part is on Ukrainian success in repelling initial Russian advances. Most of those "victories" were less about western support, and more about Russia assessing that the initial plan to topple Ukraine by fast push failed, and so territories that were hard to support logistically were abandoned and a retreat was ordered. And the really reason for less than stellar Ukrainian performance during later countetoffencives is more about them running into territory Russian forces are actually trying to hold, rather than diminished western support. While the western support is actually slowly but steadily increasing.

This is pure propaganda. If anyone thinks that a man like Putin, a former KGB agent, doesn’t know that Ukraine (or even a large portion of it) could not be conquered with just 200,000 - 250,000 soldiers, that person must be insane. Anyone who knows at least some things about military matters will tell you that. Instead, what Putin did was to enter Ukraine, push towards Kyiv, and try to scare the Kyiv regime into signing a treaty to solve the long dispute about NATO membership. More specifically, it was the Istanbul draft treaty. The request from the Ukrainian side at that time was for Russia to retreat their troops from Kyiv as a means to assure them that they are negotiating in good faith. So they did. At the same time, while the Ukrainian delegation to Istanbul was prepared to sign the treaty, Boris Johnson arrived in Kyiv and "assured" Zelensky that if they didn’t sign, the West would continue to support Ukraine’s war effort with weapons, intel, and so on. Naftali Bennett was there; he knows that. The head of the Ukrainian delegation for the peace talks in Istanbul (Davyd Heorhiyovych Arakhamia, who also happens to be a member of Zelensky’s party, Servant of the People) said a couple of months ago exactly what I described here. You can literally just google his name, nothing more, and after the Wikipedia page, it will show you a couple of articles on this exact topic from various western media outlets. In regard to the myth of the Ukrainian army successfully repelling Russian forces from the Kharkiv region in the winter of 2022... yes, that’s exactly right, it’s a myth. Anyone can search a ton of articles from that time from western media outlets and see Ukrainian commanders complaining about massive losses. After the Russians acknowledged that their first plan (the only one they had, I don’t think they expected it wouldn’t work) was a failure, they retreated in order to build fortifications and because they didn’t have the logistic means to sustain such a stretched front. Most importantly, they did so in order to switch to a new plan of massive attrition (prevent massive losses on the Russian side, inflict massive losses on the Ukrainian side). The myth of the Russian goal to conquer Ukraine in 3 days has been made up from the beginning to make the Russian military look weak, and to keep Ukraine going and domestic support for money and weapons flowing into Ukraine. But more and more people are starting to acknowledge that this is not the kind of war in which land gains are the metric to use to make an educated guess on which side is more likely to win. It’s a war of attrition, so you have to look at how many losses in terms of men, machines, and resources each side takes, and how capable each side is of replacing those losses. When you look at that, you will see that the balance is on Russia's side and it is going to incline more and more on the side of Russia. We are already to the point where this balance can never be reversed. The Ukrainian army is already cannibalizing its own reserves, and the Russian army is in a position to stretch or tighten the frontline as they wish.

Yes, very important to note the "far-right" elements in Ukraine's government, which got 0.2% of the vote - Svoboda got 1 out of 450 seats in the Verkhovna Rada. Completely unimportant, however, is talking about the fact that Russia is more far-right and has more fascistic elements as a nation that Ukraine.

For those that had eyes, this conclusion was obvious from the get go. But.... it seems hundreds of thousands had to die before the others arrived to the same conclusion.

"The US track record of lying about intelligence to further a policy agenda isn't great, to put it lightly" Just having binged all 4 seasons of Blowback, I feel like this country spends almost as much time lying (or at least double dealing) as it does breathing, so to speak. Good vid.

Why not mention the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in which Ukraine, who at the time had the third biggest nuclear arsenal in the world, agreed to Russia's demands of transfering the nukes to them in exchange for a guaranteed independent nation? We see how that turned out. I can't wait until next year to see if this video aged like wine or aged like old milk.

Because this video is propaganda: it nods at condemning Russian aggression, but then blames war on Ukraine for "failing to integrate a diverse ethnic polity". It describes attacks on power grid as military objectives, it ignores attacks on hospitals, and positions the US as extending an unwinable war. FT and Tucker Carlson share the same narrative: the war can't be won and the US shouldn't waste money on it. Russia is doing to Ukraine what Israel is doing to Gaza, the Ukrainians are just more capable of resistance. FT likes talking about Israeli war crimes because it plicates the US, while talking about Russian atrocities might make his audience sympathetic to the US position.

Ukraine got couped by the US in 2014, since then its no longer a souvereign country. Ergo the treaty is void. You could even interpret the treaty as such that Russia is trying to restore Ukraines independence. That would make Russia uphold the treaty and stay by its guarantees. Or you could stop being a little child and remember that ukraine was gleefully killing ethnic Russians for 8 years with full support fo the west, while Russia tried diplomacy, to no avail.

Nice video, but in my opinion, the video lacks some nuance because you focus too much on the negative points about Ukraine. Yes, Ukraine is losing ground, but it is giving it up at a high cost. Russia is losing many tanks and IFVs, and many soldiers are dying for minimal gaines. Since this doesn't look sustainable, you can question who the real winner here is. The Ukrainian armed forces do not employ these meatwave tactics; instead, they preserve their soldiers by conducting tactical retreats. Additionally, you do not mention the aid package of $63 billion from the USA, the arrival of the F-16s, Ukraine's successes in the Black Sea (more than a third of the Russian fleet has been sunk), shooting down expensive Russian military planes, and is constantly improving its army by in innovation in drones and army tactics. Meanwhile, Russia's losses have risen to over half a million soldiers (not independently confirmed), the economy is running on a war economy (a major disadvantage), it has to sell its oil and gas at high discounts, several oil refineries are being destroyed daily, and the country is becoming isolated from the world economy. So once again, the nuance is missing and the outcome of the war is far from certain.

They also have a ton of drones. I'm sure the f-16's will look real nice... for a few days. You're basing your opinions on how Russians were fighting the first few months of the war, things have changed, and the front lines are not moving other than Russia gaining small amount of territory with lives that are expendable to their leadership. They have 300k troops in reserve and can target the leadership with real long range missiles at any time. The fact they are still fighting a war of attrition means they want to drag things out, because they are destroying Ukraine.

Nice video but one crucial thing you're skipping. You can't fast forward to 2014 without stopping in 2008, the notorious NATO summit in Bucharest. There Bush Jr. despite the big reservations from France and Germany promised Ukraine and Georgia NATO membership. In the declaration summit the terms were stated vaguely but the damage was done. Following week Russia has brought 2 counter declarations stating that they consider the NATO membership of both countries as an 'existential threat' to Russia. That's the highest level of state security doctrine in Russia. There is no other step beyond, reddest of the red lines. In the other declaration they stated that (to Europe) Russia is ready for a war in case both countries become NATO members. That part of the history is crucial. You can't analyse this problem without the NATO summit in 2008.

It is more important to know exact divisions and brigades on the frontline, i guess. There are many important points which you didn't mention at all, even though they are not part of internal politics and are crucial in discussing peace and war, such as - OSCE, right for self-determination, illegal and *violent* us-backed coup in 2014 (Not just an "ousting"), so-called Ukrainian Anti-Terrorist Operation, that started week before any "terrorists" entered Donbass, illegal blockade of electricity, water and food in Donbass and Crimea by Ukraine (Seems familiar?) and of course, illegal and discriminating western sanctions. Also, if you want to draw parallels with "Appeasement" - you should turn them around - it was Russia who was trying to negotiate for 8 years (And still open for it) and it was West who lied (And declines negotiations today) - Minsk and Istanbul accords are a great example of this.

Let alone destabilizing one that has always and will always have a grudge against its regional power. It would be one thing if you destabilized Afghanistan, but if Afghanistan had nuclear arms.

There was no guarantee that NATO’s expansion eastward would cease indefinitely. Conversely, the Budapest Memorandum provided written commitments that Russia would never invade Ukraine. However, these commitments were breached by Russia and subsequently overlooked by Western nations, who justified their inaction with the argument that the agreements were not legally enforceable. If one considers a written pact to lack legal weight, yet gives credence to a vague oral agreement from three decades prior, then such standards may be perceived as either highly partial or insincere...
