@@eamonnclabby7067 well, minimal ties is sort of imprecise these days, bcuz the supply chains overall are so vast that even Ukr's formerly substantial production of industrial/commercial components, indirectly affects UK. What we learned due to Covid and other related factors apparently, even China's assistance in secret at first, to Ru, is apparently part of how and why supply chains were disrupted in the West. China has been the ultimate janus-faced (two faced) amoral operator, and their 'recompense' for that will hit them later (via economics). As for emptying NLAWS stocks, it's not really public info as to what that fact really means ultimately visavis defense capacity overall. And as this guest points out, the right weapons at the right times is far far less risky and cheaper for us in the west, than Ukr not being able to hold the line at least, bcuz ultimately if they are over run, then the total costs to the West will be somewhere on a range of truly massive all the way up to incomprehensibly expensive in every way imaginable. Ppl really are not grasping this concept. Each power station of size that Ukr loses is a massive hit to their economy for the entire next decade! 10 yrs to rebuild the one lost in 2nd biggest city Kharkiv three weeks ago. Stupidest single avoidable (presumably) hit if enough countries had gotten enough missile defense systems to Ukr in a timely way. I've closely followed current political and social affairs since i was a teen in the '80's and i've studied a lot more history than most well informed/educated ppl. We r way way too close to Fubar for comfort (fouled up beyond all recognition). This situation requires the J10 Nato members to rapidly prepare for various intervention scenarios visavis Ukr. There is no doubt about that! If we're not doing it quietly now, then we are insane and incompetently governed.

precisely! best point i've seen in comments! It's that issuse that IS the biggest now, bcuz the mission-critical parts of high tech weapons the Ru use, have come from the West, including US co's, AFTER the start of the war. The parts are marked w/ numbers, so Ukr proved this! This is worse than stomach turning, and if i were rich, i'd be using my atty's to legally harangue and harass those co's leaders, owners, etc, and i'd try to sue them or hassle their boards, if they're publically traded. When a big country in an international legal busines order/system like the world got very comfortable in in past two decades, has a situation like today, it makes it difficult for the federal gvt to react in an accurate and balanced way. That means private citizens need to pick up any slack that that creates. That means advocating and haranguing gvt to stop those biz's from doing such trading w/ Ru. Same w/ oil deal for Ru, which is almost all going to India and China, but mostly India apparently. We cannot allow a country of 140M ppl whose income is about 650B, to hold the world hostage. It's nonsensical and it's absolutely creating the 'excess' inflation, ie the additional inflation that occurred on top of the inflation from first the supply chain issues, then Covid/monies etc, and then this war: This was some economists argue is possibly half of all the inflation that europe and north america have experienced. Normally US inflation is far tamer than our peer nations, but not this time. And that concerns me, bcuz it's a bad sign.

@@Ari3870 lol. I get your sentiment but u dn't seem to have been paying close attention these two yrs. Actually europe, namely UK initially (before the US, ie each step-up was initiated by UK, and the US (my country) followed) did disproportionately a massive amount of assistance to Ukr; and it has no ability by itself to close the skies, which means actual engagement procdures & possibly fire-fight actions w/ Ru. It takes the whole group, the J10 of Nato, to get something like that done. The US obviously did not believe it was wise to do that actual military engagement with Ru during the early phase of the war. One thing we know is that the US didn't understand the performance abilities of the Ru military. But there's also the entire world's geostrategic situations to consider, namely Taiwan, which historically the US has been intending to militarily defend against any attacks by China. As for what it can do today, i dn't know, bcuz the Chinese military is far far more capable than not long ago. So, yeah the euro politicians need to create policies together for defense and for Ukr policy. But most of them, even the german leadership, is mostly quite decent in quality, albeit germany made gaffs earlier, i.e one of its ministers did. Not an easy situation for europe. But together, Nato or the J10 members of it, have to make plans for potential coalition creation for future military intervention assitance for Ukr. Bcuz Ru may go all in at some point and try to actually go fully into eastern Ukr including Kyiv in order to cull all the democrat and other civic leaders, so they can try to recreate their fantasy of 'little russians', ie comliant docile subserviant peasants or undereducated folks. Ru's stated desires are plainly genocidal. Nato has a massive interest in preventing that. It's practical to do so, even if it means using our air and naval power.

Hi! Olena, you are a wise and insightful woman, and I totally agree with you! Ukraine should get all the help it needs to win this war and fast! If we let Russia win this war, it's a catastrophe for all the world, especially Europe. I wish you all the best! Keep on keeping on, you rock!

I hope all the people around the world unwilling to help Ukraine get the memo that their country's moral depravity and leadership vacuum now will lead to - more countries seeking nukes to defend themselves, - more autocrats opting to try bite off bits they also want of their neighbors, and - less economic stability for world trade, whose foundation is geopolitical predictability. Even if you have a heart only for your own clan, inaction now is so damaging to any future that features rule of law.

yep! and many of us having been listening to related ideas for more than two years already, and writing our rep's and senators etc etc, to little avail !! Yes the american gvt has a lot on its plate now, to put it mildly. But the militaries of at least ten of the Nato countries are the lead nations in Nato, called the J10. These countries can possibly mount a coalition operation to assist Ukr if Ru does not stop this increasing assault on truely crucial infrastructure that they destroyed recently, namely one plant in Kharkiv, and to some extent another plant in Kiev. The increasing targeting of Odesa and nearby is also extremely damaging and problematic for Ukr, and so many of us having been persistently explaining to american leaders (and others have been explaining to european leaders) that if we cannot stop approx this level of damage level, then the situation can pretty quickly become untenable for Ukr's military, and that is unacceptable to us in the West, who at this point do have an obligation to secure at least what Ukr consists of at the moment. Many of us in the months before the invasion knew that the prior fiveish years had showed american passivity or weakness, namely when Trump got the US military out of Black Sea instantly the moment Ru fired upon Ukrainian naval ships near the Kerch strait, before the bridge was built. So, yeah Trump started the weak impression, and Ru knew exactly what sort of political vulnerabilities the US had, particularly maybe after Jan 6th. Anyway, part of the real problem now is that the delays in getting the right equipment to Ukr has cost some of the best Ukr soldiers and officers their lives. These ppl were the bravest, often well educated members of Ukr society. Many were the top of the brightest and most creative. (whereas weak-willed and cowardly very able-bodied young men left or didn't return to Ukr when the war started. So, when Ukr says its losing its best, most of us don't grasp how profoundly true that is!!!) We need to get truely capable weapons and any know-how or intell we have, into Ukr hands. And if that does't work, then a coalition needs to start rapidly planning direct assistance to Ukr, if Ukr wants it. This is life, whether we like it or not.

It is truly baffling how inept the elites of the western world has become, their only saving grace is that they aren't actively cruel and generally can be trusted to keep agreements, though UK and US failure to uphold the spirit of the Budapest memorandum has put a serious crack in that too.

Olena Halushka is absolutely correct on all points. Politicians, influenced be the "leader" of the west (USA), have sought to manage de-escalation, appease the aggressor and slow walked aid from the very beginning. This is an indelible stain of shame on the west and has forever reduced the trust of many nations in the west with regards to the USA. Finally, this latest package of 60 billion "for Ukraine" (significantly less when the figures are actually analyzed) does not impress me. It is a small fraction of what what spent on the Iraq war. A far less legitimate war given no weapons of mass destruction were ever found.

Listen and squirm...the western allies should be ashamed of the approach of the weapons Let them have a lend-loan supplied .

Sore losers. Time to come to senses let better sense prevail.

Rule of law. If you willfully damage or destroy my property you are liable for the damage caused. If you refuse to pay, the law will force you to pay. If you are forced to pay, you will think twice about doing it again. Yes?

Clearly 4:06 4:06 4:06 4:06 4:06 4:06 Russia has been successful in scaring NATO

What is Ukrainian victory, what does that mean? I've heard that a lot of times. And I am not sarcastic with my question, I just don't understand how can one win against a country that have nukes.

Why did you chose war over peace ?

Amazing peace formula, simple and clear, search: “Freeonis Formula of Peace (animation)”. Russians will be required to watch this every day as part of de-Putinization.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a white guy. It still bothers me a lot that the genocide in darfur in Africa (sp) was watched by the whole world. And the whole world did nothing. If other genocidal political action occurs in the rest of the world from now on, I would hope that as much attention is paid to third world countries populations as is the attention is paid to Ukraine. Don't misunderstand me I do support Ukraine.

Ukraine knew they should have kept ten mobile nuclear weapons just to detour Russia. I remember some Ukrainian saying so.

Because you are in the Russian zone of influence and Russia has over 6,000 nukes. May the Lord bless , protect and keep you.

Infrastructure attacks on Kharkov took place cca 1 week ago. If what she's saying is true ("Russians destroyed ALL of the energy and heating facilities in the town"), how is it possible there is no mass exodus from Kharkov at this point, one week later?

Israel had not received any military help from the USA during the first 25 years of its continuous existential war, until 1973. The Ukrainian War started 10 years ago. Still 15 years to wait for the involvement of the United States

yeah we'd think so, but in this case, the enemies are really quite organized vs the arab's level of organization and capabilities that the Israeli's were up against from '47 to '73. So i think some Nato members and other countries will want to contain Ru one way or another, and that means 'on time', ie a timely manner, ie asap.

I think you should cower your mic with blanket.

Israel pays for it

With the help of MAGA Republicans

As an American whose ancestors migrated from Ukraine in the 1880’s, I don’t think I’ve ever felt this sick to my stomach in the entire 47 years of my life. So so so infuriating. If Biden wins, take back the house majority and solidify the senate majority… Hopefully, a bill can be proposed, passed and signed so that we can start holding every MAGA member of the congress accountable.

​@@LJPayton Yes, in the same way that russia needs to be made accountable for individual actions after the war, MAGA republicans need to be made accountable for the damage they have done both at home and across the world. Slava Ukraini 🇬🇧🇺🇦💛💙🇺🇸

The Ukrainian ladies who speak on behalf of ukraine are always accurate and ' right on, the ball,' as they say. This lady said that the delays, after delays, end up gifting russia time to build good and full defences. It occurred to me, that maybe the delays (and the lame excuses, given) are all part of an overarching deliberate policy?

doesn't make sense. How could that possibly benefit the Ukr helpers? It's entirely counterproductive if minimizing negatives is the goal. It makes less than zero sense, ie nonsensical under ANY context!

How is it possible to win this war when Ukraine depends of outside resources?

Ivan, Ukraine is fighting for survival which can never be "PYRRHIC". An example of "PYRRHIC" was Russian capture of Bakhmut ruins at the cost of 20,000 Russian KIA which caused Wagner to march on Moscow.

Ukraine is a country where almost 50 million people lived in 1991 after the infernal communism. With the advent of democracy, the number of people living in Ukraine today dropped to around 30 million. Listening to the video and reading a small part of the comments, my conclusion is that Ukraine will not end well, and the Ukrainian nation is also under scrutiny. It would not be the first nation to disappear. In the area between the Caspian Sea and north of the Black Sea, from the eighth to the eleventh century, the state of Khazaria spread, and the Khazars disappeared and today are referred to as ghosts.
