You 2 don't know enough about the topic - either Russia, Ukraine, economics, etc. and can't hide that the decades of exposure to pro-American/West prop aganda is difficult to overcome... although in order to overcome any false belief, you first have to fully acknowledge it, but you like it too much 😂😂

UKR. The war is lost, Russia is advancing not just steadily but with increasing momentum. As for the shit-for-brains commentator and wacky general condoning missile attacks into Russia, which requires USA and NATO technology and expertise: first of all it would be ineffective nor are there sufficient numbers of weaponry. It is a proxy war, Ukraine is a vassal, they need to do as told or risk money & weaponry being cut-off. Ostensibly, USA leadership (or lack thereof, considering the president is non-compos mentis) doesn't want WW3 or to involve NATO in direct confrontation with Russia. The "Ukraine army I know.," comment is not just fanciful but amusing in its low rent arrogance. As for the Ukraine army: this is its third or fourth iterations: the first two being eviscerated. The mere existence of 40 year old conscripts is an indicator. As for Kursk, the UKR troops are soon to be cut-off and they can surrender, be captured or die. It's an Ukraine Dien Bien Phu. You two clowns sound like a cheering section for the Ukraine. The sum of your posits and analysis is delusional.

What’s the cost for Russia to take territory, and what’s Ukraine’s cost to defend it? In a war of attrition, doesn’t this matter more than territory?

How to win against nuclear power?

Ukrainian folks doesn’t want to be mobilized, they’re all trying to get the heck outta Dodge. These knuckleheads keep saying Russia got the same problem, yeah right. The most ukranians that wanted to fight are either dead or maimed. These cats keep talking like it’s a war game with bunch of Toy solders. It’s Real lives, what a disgrace as human beings. Russia ain’t in no financial trouble, the western countries Only sanctions ain’t working, it’s actually backfiring……

The grain ship was smuggling weapons, aka Lusitania.

Ukraine is out of conscripts and ammo.

Ukraine lost 17,000 in Kursk.

What a wonderfully inconclusive analysis

It seems obvious that Ukraine is f’ed. I find it disgusting that everyone knows this, and yet they promote and lobby for endless war; more forced conscription, death, and destruction for their own personal and geopolitical reasons.

I like Kofman but what annoyes me is that he never reaches any conclusions. He just tells you what the information is and doesn't commit to any interpretation of that information. I understand it is a hard thing to do but isn't that kind of his job. I am not expecting him to be 100% accurate but saying something plausable is better than nothing.

Uou guys talk like Ukraine has an economy... the west has run out of equipment, and they are pivoting to Iran. Ukraine will be traded to Russia for Israel defeating Iran. Ukraine has 410k soldiers and will be 300k in 3 months.

Jesus wept, that Australian guy is completely insane.

Ryan will get us all killed

Could be wrong but I 'm thinking the US government is wary of getting caught in some kind of escalation not getting their fingers grabbed in spinning gears so to speak

"Fluid" but in one direction sadly.

“Russians are defeated” “Russians won’t stop in Ukraine” What is it then? It can’t be Both?! This is told that the baboons . And they can vote..

19:42 There is zero evidence the Russians are willing to take large losses. That is pure western propaganda..

Unconditional surrender of Ukraine, no NATO, Zelensky crown clown sentence to life as a toilet cleaner in Kamtchatka penal colony.

Thanks WOR. Excellent as always! Kofman is brilliant and measured. The decision on the end of this war will be taken in Washington on the level of continued support that will be provided in Ukraine. We must all pray for a Harris victory. I have included a link to a Davis Centre analysis of the Russian war economy which is led by two of the top experts, including Sergei Guriev. They concur with Kofman. Russia has about 12 months left, without further coercive and dangerous measures on their part, to continue the war. They are under huge pressure. ruclips.net/video/F7Ur8D7LR7o/видео.html

Been listening with bemusement to this nonsense for about 18 months now. Pretty impressive to have achieved a near 0% success rate in terms of predictions vs outcomes on the ground, even exceeding what you would anticipate from random variation within probability theory. The only situation where that is even possible is if there is an extreme bias, rather than any form of analysis. Still, it’s always fun to hear the fictional narratives.

How can anybody support a country, that has made former nazi collaborators & butchers into national hero's, having new monument created for them in main city squares, rehabilitating organisations like UPA, which was directly involved in Massacres of Poles in Volhyni, the Babi Yar massacre or just google lviv pogroms in 1941 (when the Germans took control of the city). The sadistic nature of Ukrainian nationalist shocked even the Germans and were recruited for the dirty work. Justin Trudeau and the standing ovation to a nazi was not a mistake and nobody is able to see it and call it out from the western allied countries that helped defeat nazis and liberate death camps. 27 Million of Soviet people died in the WW2, is Russia not allowed to have its security concerns over Ukraine, most of the invasions came through those lands, what is so hard to understand here? Americans dropped nukes on defenceless civilians, while winning and having no real threats to American mainland and these clowns have no moral right to criticise Russia and the way its conduction operations on the ground.

Kaufman is an idiot and has been wrong for 10 years already.

The lengthy Western supply chain to sustain the war in Ukraine gives Russia an advantage in attrition warfare, as its shorter supply chain allows for more efficient resupply and endurance.

🇺🇦

I can see the future, let me... let me take a look into 2030-s... Ukraine is a small country with 2 villages somewhere in Carpathian mountains, the rest is Russia. West crumbles economically and resorts to a full scale war as the last ditch effort to escape trillions of debt. One by one US allies switch sides or take neutral stance. By the end of first year of full scale WW3, most industrial military complex companies just steal funds never delivering any ammo, troops desert in large numbers because the government is too afraid to do rotations, preferring to keep unhappy soldiers overseas, further away from Washington. With large scale sabotage all over the country, food shortages sweep through the US and riots begin. Peace is signed, Russia puts military bases along US coast, Russian soldiers distribute buckwheat and solyanka soup to locals to soften a humanitarian crisis. West eventually lost, becoming one large trailer park living off food stamps. Decades later you leave refugee camp to visit your old house and find a screenshot of a RUclips comment from September 2024 on your old phone that predicted it all. Curtains close.

14:30 "Foreign policy has been described as the art of..." I didn't understand the word he used. The art of what?

Allowing strikes into Russia with long range, nuclear-capable missiles that are basically going to be operated by NATO is not just escalation, it is nuclear war.

time will tell . . .

🇺🇦

still huffing each other farts

Ukraine is winning for 2 years but losing all of a sudden, strange

ruzzian troops off themselves knowing they have no chance to get medical help or extraction from battle, ruzzian troops shoot at their own who are in process of surrendering, ruzzian civilians do not care what happens in this war as long as it does not affect them directly, ruzzia is paying out more and more just to recruit new troops. Numerous top military commanders have been arrested for corruption. This does not seem to be the motivated nation that will win a war.

I give this war another 6-18 months. Six months because both sides are gambling and it will take that long to see if their respective gambits pay off. The Ukrainian gamble is that they can inflict enough damage on critical Russian assets and capabilities while demonstrating to the Russians that they can endure the long haul and thus be able to negotiate from a favorable position. They still won't regain their 1991 borders, that's impossible at this point and we need to recognize that. The Russian Gamble is that their strategic bombing campaign of Ukrainian Energy and Water infrastructure succeeds in essentially crippling the Ukrainian Economy and results in mass desertions as soldiers seek to safeguard their families and possibly flee west with them allowing the Russians to seize those parts of Ukraine they want and essentially destroy Ukraine as a state. I say the war can't last longer than 18 months because that is both sides limit of equipment and manpower. Ukraine is unwilling to destroy her own future by drafting those under 25 and her hitherto manpower losses have been severe. Another 18 months of that is all Ukraine can really manage without seriously jeopardizing the nation's future. Likewise the Russians are at the limit of the manpower available to them by throwing money at the populace for them to sign contracts and thus will find recruitment of replacement manpower in the future with volunteers difficult and the Kremlin has shown great reluctance in jeopardizing regime survival with additional mobilization and are likely to sue for peace rather than mobilize another 300,000. Ukraine and Russia also will both face a severe equipment crunch in the future as neither have the productive capacity to replace losses and have been making up the difference with foreign donations and pulling from storage respectively. Much has been published recently about Russia's diminishing stockpile of Soviet equipment and that is likely a hard limit on Russia's willingness to continue the war as they are unlikely to risk fully depleting their arsenal to the point it'll take decades to replace their inventory. Likewise Ukraine is only able to stay in the fight because of foreign donations of heavy weapons, but the West doesn't have much more to spare as Western Europe scrapped most of its Cold War legacy hardware and is unwilling to deplete their conventional deterrence against Moscow further lest Ukraine still lose and suddenly there's not a tank, SPG, or IFV between the Russians and Paris(an exaggeration to be sure but the point stands). Meanwhile the Americans are hesitant to send more heavy weapons because the Pentagon feels they need that stockpile in case of contingencies in Korea, Taiwan, or the Persian Gulf and needs those thousands of Bradleys, Abrams and Paladins to act as deterrence against China, Iran, and North Korea. In short we are entering the endgame of this war and it should be clear over the next six months whether the war ends in an uti possiditis armistice in 2026, or one side manages to claw out a hollow victory in 2025.

Thank you for this podcast, super important given the amount of data coming out of the war zone

First

Canadian firm Davie Shipbuilding has completed the purchase of Helsinki Shipyard, maker of Arctic icebreaking vessels, from Russian-owned Algador Holdings after securing regulatory approval. Regulators said the deal was not in violation of sanctions on Moscow. The transaction was funded by a combination of Davie’s own funds and by 77 million euros ($81.77 million) of financing from the Québec government. Davie conclut l’achat des actifs du chantier naval finlandais Helsinki Shipyard Oy

Who is taking Canada’s commitment to this agreement seriously?! I’m certain at least 2 of the 3 hosts of Net Assessment would scoff at their commitment to any Defense-related agreement

Given the shortage of skilled labor in the shipbuilding industry, perhaps Congress should fund a vocational shipbuilding school and make it FREE for Navy, Coast Guard and Marine personnel (or maybe for all US military personnel) -- nearing the end of their service term. Shipbuilders are well paid. (A cursory Google search suggests they make something like $65K to $150K depending on seniority, position level, skill type, location, and performance.) Thus it shouldn't be hard to attract students from a pool of outgoing military personnel who would otherwise be entering the civilian world with no prospect for a lucrative job. Moreover, a free shipbuilding school would likely pay for itself by way of lower costs for the US to get its ships built and repaired in a timely manner.

When I read "Smartest" I knew it would be women speaking 🤣Tell us about your "really neat trips", ladies.

This podcast makes me want to get my thoughts out to my service as well! What are some of the mainstream USMC journals that I could write to?

Why do you think you are so important and so Expert Mode ? Not thinking about low-level Citizens view-points etc

LAMEST high-pitch Voice thing they are Important. You are NOT important, looking forward to near furture litigation

Absolutely enjoyed your podcast on all topics. Very much helps me with my future in Cyber. Thank you

The red d n the 2 Jason are good cut our of the picture now its going on Shane Henderson now that I know who's what final appointment he use to be investigator back 2016 this happen

I'm kind of surprised that none of you mentioned the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, which seems like an obvious target.

The Kursk Incursion is definitely a game changer. Even Russians started drawing borders of Ukrainian control in Kursk on their daily update map.

Thermobaric bbbombs can spreadd blast waves around corners.

Iran is attacking Israel with drones. The US priority will be to defend Israel.
