USA: Fights a 20+ year campaign half a world away with 0 supply issues and relies soleley on a volunteer force Russia: Currently fighting a country directly on it's border and after just 7 months is suffering from disastrous supply problems and has issued a partial mobilization of it's population
The US has always been good about logistics because their geography makes it a logistical nightmare to project force and they've always had to keep up to date with modern logistical tactics. Even when the US was in "isolationist" mode, their Navy was still excellent.
USA also has paid universities for which you either gotta take a loan (and indebt yourself for the rest of your life) or join the army for a couple years.
The USA isnt fighting an international legion which stands with their enemy. The USA isnt fighting an enemy supplied by nearly all of the major and superpowers of the world. The USA isnt fighting an enemy while being sanctioned by the worlds largest economies. The USA isnt fighting an enemy while having to deal with international backlash and public opinion turning against them. Its a completely different situation
@@someone-wh2rb the underdog narrative Russian bots portray the current situation is extremely comical. Since NATO began in the 1950's, Russia has had the stance of preparing for war against NATO country's and take on the full force of said country's. The Russian military was supposed to be ready for a war exactly like this one and they're failing against a country that would be considered a militarily weak NATO country if Ukraine was in NATO. Believing the Russians are the underdog in this war is as silly as believing in the US you have to serve in the military if you don't take out a student loan.
It is proven statistically that a conscripted Soldier majority of the time will not fire their weapon in combat. The only way to have a truly motivated and effective fighting force is for them to willingly want to be there and serve their country conscription is a terrible thing.
yeah, we can see that in ukraine already, ukranian conscripts are unwiling to fight outside their regions most of the time, same for separatist republic conscripts LPR forces refused to help DPR, probably will be the same for russians, although from what i heard they want to use the for rear guard duty to free up the profesional troops
Hello from greece , i m so grateful that someone shared my thoughts so accurate. Wish more people could learn from history and adapt it to present rather than cheer a warmonger.

Pre-record to not be able to get missile strike while filming or if someone cyber warfare and shuts down broadcast mid speech, it causes harm to economy/ego.
I was going to say, I've been involved in some call ups and the parents are usually so proud or happy while the kid is miserable. And thats in a western country that isn't at war.
Chamberlin was a fucking hero and people don't realize it. The British military was outdated and needed obvious support from the other allies to stay afloat long enough to hold out, he gave the allies the required extra few months to prepare for the long war. He risked his job, name, family, and reputation for generations to come all for a few extra months.
He is an easy scapegoat but the British army was woefully unprepared for war in 1938 ESPECIALLY the airforce which is what ultimately saved the UKs ass. The army was still unprepared in 1939 so imagine in 1938. That extra year was crucial
Britain was unprepared, but so was the the case for the Germans too. Hitler made wild proclamations expecting to get denied, only to have his insane demands met unopposed. Had Hitler's bluff been called as early as it should've, the war wouldn't have dragged on for as long as it did.
I completely understand this, however, I would disagree. By aquiecing at the Munich conference, Chamberlain had set the Molotov-ribbentrop pact into motion, which was a catalyst for the war. Stalin felt betrayed that the British had sold out Czechoslovakia and therefore decided to ally with Hitler. The alliance gave hitler confidence as he felt that a two-front war could be avoided. From my knowledge, this is what gave him the will to invade. Not to mention the vast amounts of British equipment left behind during Dunkirk. Of course, I feel both opinions are valid and this point is debatable. After all, Britain did win the war. So yeah, that's my point of view.
There was a video on Russian alcoholism I saw recently. The video talked about the possibility that the Russian government, even back during the Tzar pushed Alcohol as both a way to raise revenue and keep people to drunk to be a threat to the government.
Russia is losing because of a weakness they’ve always had, lack of NCOs. It’s just officers. Without NCOs providing battlefield leadership and direction it’s all a very top down leadership style which means you just have to target the officers to throw armies into disarray. It’s why Russian generals keep getting sent to the front and dying. There’s a reason America has NCOs, China is trying to develop NCOs, and Russia is suffering militarily.
There are so many reasons why they're losing. Lack of NCO's, still relying on trains for supply , lack of encrypted radios, etc. They're using Cold War tactics in modern warfare.
Lol, tommy is a bit wrong about quality of the reservists. They are taking everyone, literally everyone. A groupmate of my former roommate from uni is working in medical checkup in Vladivostok. That guy told that they are taking even people recovering from cancer, with half vision and partial paralysis and even elderly 60+ year old. These lists were made in a hurry and only to make up the numbers
My friends' houses in Ukraine got bombed to hell, man. Same shit was going on in Azerbaijan by Armenia. Or Georgia by Russians. Ruzzia regime needs to be eradicated like cancer.
Yeah, who cares about brown people getting bombed in the middle East? Not like I'm friends with them anyway. Giving greater importance to a war because your family or friends are involved isn't good for anybody. All wars suck and turning a blind eye to the ones that happen far away just because it doesn't affect you in any way is rotten.
when it comes to foreign volunteers, I've seen a lot of people suggest early on in the war that you shouldn't go to Ukraine if you don't have prior military experience as you won't be a good soldier and training you would take resources away from training Ukrainians who already speak the language and are fighting for their homes. Ukraine is not in a position where they are struggling for manpower, just equipment and training.
So basically to put it in hoi4 terms: Putin decided to declare war on Ukraine, having on the get go the national spirits : sanctions (+20% civ factory, -100 opinion from nato), a brotherly war (-50% war support, -0.10 recov rate) and corrupt army (-20% org, -0.20 recov rate, -20% attack and defense ) After launching huge assaults suffering a shit ton of attrition, he now has lost a lot manpower and equipment. He is facing Ukraine that has nice national spirit like :defense of Ukraine (-10 surrender limit, 20% attack and defense on core territory, -0.1 compliance rate on occupied territory) Plus massive lend lease form nato members . The Ukrainians are now counterattacking which forces Putin to go from volunteer only to partial mob . A lot of special events give some random but negative debuffs to the Russian side. The only help they have is lend lease from NK and Iran. He is now going trying to send inexperienced and under équiped division against fully equiped, super experienced Ukrainian and foreign volunteers. We will have to see what the future gives.
mobilization is only for Reservists ..the ex professional military who still receiving benefits and it stayed in their contract. They are mobilized every month for few days of training it happened this time its not during peace time but during war. Its their families who are usually protesting now (very low numbers tbh)..but it was good when receiving salary and benefits in peace time now when they actually need to earn that money some of them protesting : )
i think unarmed UN and nato humanitarian troops should move in to kiev and build a large medical and food and set op evac corridors so those civs suffering can get food and aid for this coming winter
That would be the humane thing to do, but we all know Russian media will seize on it being “NATO finally showing their hand and moving into Russian territory” no matter if it’s unarmed Kenyan troops handing out food in Kyiv
Only UN, unharmed NATO humanitarian troops? NATO is not an humanitarian alliance, it's a defensive alliance. NATO being anywhere in Ukriane would make Putin jizz all over his pants and declare an western act of aggression

13:45 As a Russian I find this part so relevant! In big part to WWI, Civil War, Stalin’s terror and WWII Russian society is not a mentally healthy one. We have the highest male suicide rate in World and 85% of Russian youth has non-zero Adverse Childhood Experience score while only 50% in US do. For the Russians born in 1940s this percentage is about 100%. Trying to heal both past generational trauma and the one currently generated by war is one of the big reasons I started working as school teacher this year: people working in the Russian system of advanced STEM education are main reason I’m mostly mentally healthy and have some prospects in life and I want to assist those teachers in healing and helping the kids who are the basically the future of Russia.
I feel like calling Putin Hitler is kind of insulting towards Hitler, Hitler could give good speeches, Hitler actually prepared his army properly for war, Hitler actually won in the early years before invading the USSR, Hitlers ideology was very modern where as Putin is reverting back to Russian Empire levels of incompetent leadership. so in fact you should be glad he's not like Hitler, Putin's regime seems to not be long for this world.
wars of aggresion is how nations expand, hell settler style colonialism is how most major nations have come to be but you also have things such as ideology and depends on policies and actions of the past, like the USA expanding, genociding and waging wars of aggresion to expand to a size close to that of Russia, Germany expanded in the Franco-Prussian war and lost lands due to defending Austria in ww1 and lost more trying to regain lands lost by Poland and expand beyond in ww2. Like war is just an extention of political goals, as it's unlikely for nations to give up land when asked nicely, war becomes the only solution, war is a tool and technology and weapons have made those tools all the more terrible though at the same time technology has also connected people more than ever which makes wars less likely to happen. nations we consider ''peacefull'' wage war on other nations, unprovoked sometimes all the time or don't even declare war and bomb hospitals or schools, that's not to say all war is bad or west is bad and therefor nations like China or Russia are good. war is just a tool that can be used for political goals and people often want war, Putin is very popular in Russia because the people love war, they love victory, they love expanding and proving to the world they are equal to the USA or can match the economic power of say the EU, of course when it's their child getting send to war they hate it when it's other people's children they don't mind as much. we in the west seem to have this idea that weakness = virtue or that war = always bad and they can't imagine that an empire can do good and that sometimes wars of aggresion can be justified by elites or people or both, that still makes war horrible and very destructive but like the old saying goes, the goals justify the means and that's how these things tend to start, Hitler was also popular, people wanted revenge, they wanted to restore what was lost, it's easy to say they were wrong since they lost the war but that's not the point, the point is that war is something that drives all nations, hell it's basically how all nations come to be to begin with.
Corruption and dying economy are true for Ukraine as much as they’re for Russia. The main difference is that Russia’s fighting an unjust aggressive war and Ukraine doesn’t.
8:27 Putin is more of a parody version of Hitler rather than an actual analogy: 1. Putin lacks charisma 2. Putin lacks big ambitions: why only start mobilization on moth 7 and not just try to conquer Ukraine in 2014 when it would’ve been much easier? 3. Putin’s ideology is more of a fascism than nazism: Ramzan Kadyrov is ok cause he’s loyal to the state even though he speaks Russian with thick accent and different race by Russian standards. While Ukrainians who fight against Putin are “scum” cause they don’t want to submit to his regime. Putin lacks strategic vision - if he had a strategy where he will conquer Ukraine it made much more sense to full-scale invade in 2014 when Ukrainian army wasn’t experienced, maintained or prepared. 4. Putin lacks ground support: no-one genuinely admires him and inspired by him other than some babushkas 5. Russia isn’t really militarized: otherwise there wouldn’t have been just 200k actual combat-ready ground troops prepared in February.
This is pretty valid. Putin definitely lacks the ideological drive that possessed Hitler. Like fundamentally Putin only does things that cement his power
20:41 I don't get why chat is saying "it's sad" or "people are dying" since the person tommy said is literally volunteering to go to the frontline and kill the Ukrainians. That's totally different from regular conscripts who didn't have a choice.
at the start of the war, if yyou told me this is what it would look like at this point I would call you crazy. Wild how hard the Ukrainians are fighting.
What's interesting is i m asking myself if this show is intentionally made. Russia lacks some things, but they cannot be this weak. I think its all set up, and the real soldiers are waiting. But i m afraid to think what would come next. Tell me, for a man that raised purely by merit, and work his ass off to remain in power, showing sometimes good qualities of a leader, why would he throw his image and change all that with this performance? I think so the West can think its winnable and to have internal issues as is already happening, only then to be crushed by the reality. He is either a clown or a military genius. I hope he's a clown, cause if he's not, our very survival will be put at the test. And seeing how idiotic most of the people are, there aren't great chances will end up for our species.
I am from Russia and I'm ashamed of our current President, and I feel grief for my country and a lot of opportunities we lost, people that died in this pointless war. And the scariest thing is that there are still enough people that support this war
The thing is Tommy, no one cares about any other conflicts. Burma, Yeman, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Palestine, Libya, Congo, Venezuela, Morocco, Xinjiang, Mongolia, Tibet, Nepal, and finally Kashmir. But we only care about Ukraine because it Russia doing it. I fully support Ukraine but why don’t we help these other countries when we caused most of these wars?
@crassgop of course, in an ideal world, we should care about all of these. However, I do agree that especially in Europe that this conflict is the most pressing-- not to mention the sheer scale of the fighting

how would he.. "win them over"? Its like saying stalin could have won hitler over if he tried hard enough with good enough talking points
@@boad8270 cus Stalin didn't try hard enough
@@boad8270 I think he’d have fans on both sides of the political aisle if he made more compromises, I’d be more inclined to listen to him if he made actual constructive criticism to my political beliefs rather than just making fun and roasting the low hanging fruit, but I get that compromise doesn’t get as many views
"Putin did nothing wrong" is the boomer version of "Griffith did nothing wrong"
Tommy fella join NAFO!
YES JOIN US
13:45 As a Russian I find this part so relevant! In big part to WWI, Civil War, Stalin’s terror and WWII Russian society is not a mentally healthy one. We have the highest male suicide rate in World and 85% of Russian youth has non-zero Adverse Childhood Experience score while only 50% in US do. For the Russians born in 1940s this percentage is about 100%. Trying to heal both past generational trauma and the one currently generated by war is one of the big reasons I started working as school teacher this year: people working in the Russian system of advanced STEM education are main reason I’m mostly mentally healthy and have some prospects in life and I want to assist those teachers in healing and helping the kids who are the basically the future of Russia.
This not age well
Bro Grisha’s RUclips is legit embarrassing. Like in 10 years bro gonna get dragged fr
but then. the unexpected ending comes. that the russians actually defended moscow from ukraine
2:00 "Why die for Gdansk?"
Tommy putting hoi4 knowledge into reality?!
Because most of his army been destroyed
I feel like calling Putin Hitler is kind of insulting towards Hitler, Hitler could give good speeches, Hitler actually prepared his army properly for war, Hitler actually won in the early years before invading the USSR, Hitlers ideology was very modern where as Putin is reverting back to Russian Empire levels of incompetent leadership.
so in fact you should be glad he's not like Hitler, Putin's regime seems to not be long for this world.
11:20 fackts man. Straight fackts
Tommy, bleib beim spielen und lass den Politkommentator.
You could shut up too and watch someone else, we will not miss ppl like you.
Warum sollte er wenn er die Wahrheit sagt

wars of aggresion is how nations expand, hell settler style colonialism is how most major nations have come to be but you also have things such as ideology and depends on policies and actions of the past, like the USA expanding, genociding and waging wars of aggresion to expand to a size close to that of Russia, Germany expanded in the Franco-Prussian war and lost lands due to defending Austria in ww1 and lost more trying to regain lands lost by Poland and expand beyond in ww2.
Like war is just an extention of political goals, as it's unlikely for nations to give up land when asked nicely, war becomes the only solution, war is a tool and technology and weapons have made those tools all the more terrible though at the same time technology has also connected people more than ever which makes wars less likely to happen.
nations we consider ''peacefull'' wage war on other nations, unprovoked sometimes all the time or don't even declare war and bomb hospitals or schools, that's not to say all war is bad or west is bad and therefor nations like China or Russia are good.
war is just a tool that can be used for political goals and people often want war, Putin is very popular in Russia because the people love war, they love victory, they love expanding and proving to the world they are equal to the USA or can match the economic power of say the EU, of course when it's their child getting send to war they hate it when it's other people's children they don't mind as much.
we in the west seem to have this idea that weakness = virtue or that war = always bad and they can't imagine that an empire can do good and that sometimes wars of aggresion can be justified by elites or people or both, that still makes war horrible and very destructive but like the old saying goes, the goals justify the means and that's how these things tend to start, Hitler was also popular, people wanted revenge, they wanted to restore what was lost, it's easy to say they were wrong since they lost the war but that's not the point, the point is that war is something that drives all nations, hell it's basically how all nations come to be to begin with.

Haha
"what went wrong for russia"
Corrucption i guess. And the fact russia's ecomony is dying from the beginning.
Corruption and dying economy are true for Ukraine as much as they’re for Russia. The main difference is that Russia’s fighting an unjust aggressive war and Ukraine doesn’t.
@@Carl-Gauss very true, it is for this reason putin can not mobilized his country but ukraine can.
8:27 Putin is more of a parody version of Hitler rather than an actual analogy:
1. Putin lacks charisma
2. Putin lacks big ambitions: why only start mobilization on moth 7 and not just try to conquer Ukraine in 2014 when it would’ve been much easier?
3. Putin’s ideology is more of a fascism than nazism: Ramzan Kadyrov is ok cause he’s loyal to the state even though he speaks Russian with thick accent and different race by Russian standards. While Ukrainians who fight against Putin are “scum” cause they don’t want to submit to his regime.
Putin lacks strategic vision - if he had a strategy where he will conquer Ukraine it made much more sense to full-scale invade in 2014 when Ukrainian army wasn’t experienced, maintained or prepared.
4. Putin lacks ground support: no-one genuinely admires him and inspired by him other than some babushkas
5. Russia isn’t really militarized: otherwise there wouldn’t have been just 200k actual combat-ready ground troops prepared in February.
This is pretty valid. Putin definitely lacks the ideological drive that possessed Hitler. Like fundamentally Putin only does things that cement his power
You are literally clueless of what it's really happening.
20:41 I don't get why chat is saying "it's sad" or "people are dying" since the person tommy said is literally volunteering to go to the frontline and kill the Ukrainians. That's totally different from regular conscripts who didn't have a choice.
at the start of the war, if yyou told me this is what it would look like at this point I would call you crazy. Wild how hard the Ukrainians are fighting.
What's interesting is i m asking myself if this show is intentionally made. Russia lacks some things, but they cannot be this weak. I think its all set up, and the real soldiers are waiting. But i m afraid to think what would come next.
Tell me, for a man that raised purely by merit, and work his ass off to remain in power, showing sometimes good qualities of a leader, why would he throw his image and change all that with this performance? I think so the West can think its winnable and to have internal issues as is already happening, only then to be crushed by the reality.
He is either a clown or a military genius. I hope he's a clown, cause if he's not, our very survival will be put at the test. And seeing how idiotic most of the people are, there aren't great chances will end up for our species.
I am from Germany🤣🤣🤣
When ww3?
Amazing talking points. Definitely need a podcast
I am from Russia and I'm ashamed of our current President, and I feel grief for my country and a lot of opportunities we lost, people that died in this pointless war. And the scariest thing is that there are still enough people that support this war
The thing is Tommy, no one cares about any other conflicts. Burma, Yeman, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Palestine, Libya, Congo, Venezuela, Morocco, Xinjiang, Mongolia, Tibet, Nepal, and finally Kashmir.
But we only care about Ukraine because it Russia doing it. I fully support Ukraine but why don’t we help these other countries when we caused most of these wars?
@crassgop of course, in an ideal world, we should care about all of these. However, I do agree that especially in Europe that this conflict is the most pressing-- not to mention the sheer scale of the fighting
All the Russian women imma get at 🥶🥵
You aren't getting at any women buddy
