I've heard that the Ukrainians FINALLY got the message that they are being used and abused by NATO! See no results of it 😭😭😭

Funny thing is that we already know what happens in the next main battle. Step 1) Ukraine says it’s a fundamental city, strategically important. Step 2) They say they will defend it to the last Ukrainian. Step 3) Russia encircles it and opens a new franchise of the meat grinder. Step 4) When the meat grinder is working, Ukraine sends everything they have to be destroyed by it. Step 5) When the situation is critical, Zelenskyy sends even more bodies to the meat grinder. Step 6) When they lose the battle, they say they will retreat to preserve the lives of the soldiers. Step 7) Ukraine says that the city is irrelevant and was never strategically important. Step 8) New city, new battle, repeat steps 1-7.

Typical Hun/Mongol/Russian maneuver. Encircle an enemy but leave a narrow exit open to that enemy. A completely encircle enemy will fight to the death, but will quickly break down as everyone tries to save themselves by using that lone exit. The encircled enemy must try to break out elsewhere, that "Hole" being left open is a trap, as the enemy enters it, formation break up and then destroyed as the "Hole" is shut down. This was the favorite tactic of Attila the Hun, Ghegis Khan, Timurlane and other leaders of the people of the Steepes (including the Russians under Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great's generals). A good commander see that escape route the trap that it is, but it is hard to keep your troops from rushing to it if they see it as they only way out of complete defeat.

@boxingstarcmbballer8797

Ай бұрын

Actually they do cut off roads bro . They will cut them off to point the Ukrainian troops (terrorist) whatever you want to call them only have 1-2 ways in and out of the pocket the Russian soldiers will have semi surrounded. And as you stated this is to control what comes and goes . If possible they will try to make the one way in and out the worse possible road of travel so heavy equipment will struggle mightily making them easy target which end up jamming up the pathway making a traffic jam of even easier targets which end up blocked while already destroyed equipment is in the way and Ukrainians will be trying to move to unblocked pathway whole time being under fire 😂 The way Ukrainian generals and officers allow themselves to fall in these traps repeatedly is complete utter failure of knowledge of warfare logistics. The Russians on other side also have been doing something utterly insane getting a bunch of their equipment destroyed and soldiers being turned into casualties by repeatedly up and down battle lines for a year or more now by sending these armored assaults across long areas of wild open ground with no way of combating drones which come in slowly hovering literally over assault fists dropping grenades and some fly directly into the armored vehicles with explosives ! From the footage these drones are world beater speed are not anything special ! It’s absolutely absurd to me Russia hasn’t figured out a way to give these armored assault drone support . They literally could easily make fast moving drones that are sent above their armored assaults that are like former wars air support. These drones could be used to literally fly into the Ukrainian drones to take them out keeping the armored assault largely intact when it reaches destination so the attack will have much greater chances of success with WAYYY LESS losses . Eventually better drone air support could be created where these Fighter drones could take out the enemy’s drone without taking themselves out in process but for now at least make small fast cheap drones that can go in a swarm above your armored assault and simply fly into Ukrainian drones that come to drop the grenades or fly into the vehicles. Crazy to me no one has figured this out in over a year of seeing this repeatedly happen and over past few months happening much worse because it is all Ukraine has to stop these assaults and it’s effective which absolutely proves how vital and game changing this would actually be if armored assaults have protection from enemy drone attacks ! Just like how in krosnigorivka however it’s spelled that turtle tank made so much progress for example just this past week. Now imagine if over the past few months back to say October if all those armored assaults that have been slaughtered by little cheap drones would have been protected. Ukraine wouldn’t be there anymore I believe Kiev would have already fallen and thousands of armored vehicles and troops would never have been hurt! I really hope Russian forces get this message and idea from me or someone thinks of this themselves finally because if they literally do that one thing this whole battle would be over in months ! Just that turtle tank alone proves the ground you can make when them drones can’t cause havoc . I literally beg /pray Russian army to listen and make fighter drones in small swarm over their armored assaults using them to hit Ukrainian drones that come to use grenades and fly into vehicles with explosive and see how much benefit they get and how fast they will crush any resistance!

All I can observe is that his stuff is very Russia friendly & he follows the RU propaganda line in almost every case from Bucha to Bakhmut. And he did apparently receive money from RT at least sometime in the past.

I sometimes wonder, despite all the glowing rhetoric gushing over Israel being an exceptional democracy, etc. etc. if some of these outwardly staunch Zionists in European government/elite circles really are voicing their true feelings or opinions about Israel (and its government). We know that Macron was caught on a hot mic basically eyerolling at one of Netanyahu's disingenuous "we only have weeks, perhaps only days until Iran finishes nuclear development and the world as we know it could cease to exist unless they are destroyed ASAP" patented dramatic warnings he gives every now and then (for decades now)... outright deriding Bibi as "such a brazen liar" - yet you'd never think he would believe this (much less actually SAY IT) based on his public speeches/interviews.

Exactly I wrote a similar comment. I remember seeing footage of one of these underground missile storage facilities it’s like a massive tunnel warehouse of unbelievable size and it is absolutely stuffed with missiles . That’s just the missiles in one of these underground facilities as well many across country and of course thousands of drones now have been being produced for years and stored . Then you account Hezbollah and it’s thousands of rockets and it’s missiles and I’m sure they have drones as well . Just between those 2 Hezbollah and Iran 10k projectiles is a massively conservative estimate more likely upwards of 15-20k easy . Then add in what Iraq militants and Syria would have as well as what Houthi rebels would have and you might get up to 30-35k as a conservative estimate of projectile air weapons . People were trying to act like this attack was so large when I know for a FACT that attack around 300-350 projectiles is like a Drop in a Gallon bucket . I would guarantee in a single moment they could release thousands. Way more missiles and missiles that are highly advanced and capable of making huge explosions. Israel is pushing more and more lately to reap what they have sown 10 fold ! 👍 Great insight friend and please stay safe if you’re still in the region .

Whatever it is, it is just a speculation. The fact that Iran doesn't show all its cards is obvious. US can give advanced weapons to Ukraine, Russia realized this game can be played by two players. Iran has nuclear sites and Israel threatens them. Israel also has nuclear sites and its AD shield is suddenly not impervious, so now this game can also be played by two.

G'Day Alexander 😉 If Israel escalates they don't understand that the multipolar countries are going to ban any diplomatic agreements with them. Israel has lost this war.

They're not missing anything. The globalists have stated that humanity must be culled from the earth (6 billion), in order to save the planet and restore balance to nature. This through war, disease, and starvation. They've built many deep underground cities to ride out what's going to happen on the surface. The 1,500 Ukrainian troops killed per day is just a drop in the bucket. Hard to believe until you look at the facts and their statements.

Dear Alexander, I am one of your faithful followers on youtube. You prepare fantastic videos I have greatly admired. You have made tremendous progress learning how to pronounce Russian / Ukrainian proper names. However you keep stressing the wrong syllable in some of them, for instance Mar'Inka instead of M'Arinka, which makes them sound a bit funny for a native Russian or Ukrainian speaker. Mar'Inka is a somewhat disrespectful diminutive for Marina, while M'Arinka is a village name derived from a peasant version of Maria, that is M'Arya. Another example is R'Ybar instead of the correct version, that is Ryb'Ar (meaning fisher). This makes fisher sound almost identical to R'Yba, which means fish rather than fisher. I have come to realize that you have copied some of your improved pronunciations from Dima of the Military Summary vlog together with some of his mistakes, some of which are hard to explain, i.e. Nevolskoye instead of N'Evelskoye (Ukr: N'Evelske) exactly as spelled. Let me suggest which syllable should be stressed in Russian / Ukrainian place names and some other proper names. I capitalize the vowel under stress as follows: Ti'Otkino (a village inside Russia, spelled Tetkino, but pronounced Ti'Otkino, meaning auntie's village) L'Astochkino / L'Astochkine (l'Astochka means swallow, or martinet, also meaning 'darling') B'Erdychi (some say Berdych'I, but no one Berd'Ychi) Bogd'Anovka Ghe'Orghievka Kr'Asnoye Ocher'Etino / Ocher'Etine Iv'Anovskoye / Iv'Anivske S'Eversk / S'Iversk Iz'iUm Lim'An Osk'Ol / Osk'Il (river) M'Aryinka (not Mar'Inka pls, a little girl's name, diminutive for Marina, while the name of the village is derived from a peasant form of Maria) Dni'Epr (Ru) / Dnipr'O (Uk) - the name of the river Piotr (Ru) / Petr'O (a man's name, i.e Poroshenko) Dmitriy (Ru) / Dmitr'O (Uk) (a man's name) Tern'Y (not T'Erny) Belog'Orovka (Ukr: Belogh'Orivka) meaning White Hill village, exactly as Krasnog'Orovka, Red Hill village Gen'Ichesk (not Genish'Ek!) Vor'Onej Gen. Mordvich'Ov (not Mordv'Ichev)
