You're working on the albigensian crusades?
I know that the cathars were a much bigger deal at the time but It would really be appreciated if you touched on the Waldenses who were killed at the same time. As a protestant I find them fascinating especially since they survived (albeit much reduced) to the present day. I've heard that some of them traced their movement to Claudius of Turin in the 800s although it's more commonly believed that Peter Waldo began the movement with his bible translation contemporary with the cathars.

And what, pray tell, is it?
On a real note, Putin talked about west losing interest a year ago, seems like he’s not wrong.
Sadly :/
Its very bad when your country is absolutely nothing, just a mountain of free meat. In the end, such a toy will break or they will simply lose interest in it.
The problem at least in the us isn’t interest. It’s the fact that Trumps political faction have turned it into a political football against the rest of the government as they seem to be more and more pro Putin
What are you talking about? Only the imbeciles from Murica lost interest. Here in Europe we are talking about possible NATO troops in Ukraine, which we weren't talking a year ago... If anything European interest is increasing! Don't forget the Czech Republic's initiative for the 800K artillery shells, which we didn't have a year ago also. Slowly Europe is waking up, with the exception of Germany ofcourse... They will wake up soon, though.
Well it's not about losing interest
It's about losing business
War is a very good business
The longer it lasts more profit u get
So all this country trying to help Ukraine for freedom and independence and democracy . and u people really think that's the case.
U are clearly brainwashed.
"Sanctions fails to slow Russian war production" No surprise there.
Considering that Russia was not integrated into NATO war machine... Of course Russian military complex has to produce everything itself, from shovels to guided missiles.
@@yamatohime2035 No shit. She has allies but at the end of the day she still has resources to produce the weapons her self. I have no idea why Nato thinks sanctioning countries still works. Especially Russia they clearly don't care.
It's more about optics for NATO members to remind them of it's authority to internal stakeholders, so it knows most of what it's doing is only for show but needs to keep doing so as to not lose it's ability to bring together the united power of it's members.
Another key reason is the simple fact the NATO does not want to be the ones blamed for WW3, if it was not clear for one nation to block trade of another nation against it's will is very much an act of war. So for NATO to block for instance North Korea from supplying weapons or from China from it's own support would be deemed an act of war and this would be used as grounds by the dictators of the three nation as grounds for a global conflict.
SO I know it can be frustrating when the solution to blocking Russia's trade seems simple, but the reality is far from simple and it will take much more hardship and a more clear global threat before any group like NATO is willing to act directly against this current Axis of aggression. @@mrbeep8096

Because the separatist had observed the area and informed the Russians about their secret escape roots like the big tunnel. Which a spetnaz group used to sneak in. Plus the Ukrainian soldiers 5hat defended it were demoralised from the failed counter offensive. So many surrendered instead of fighting.

I think the Ukrainians were more demoralised by the fact they were getting 20-30 fabs dropped on them daily than the counteroffensive. The large majority of Ukrainians that surrendered were immobilised (apparently quite a few were executed), those who could ran away even before the retreat order was given and many of those soldiers died from drones and artillery deployed mines
You didn’t mention the amount of shovels and washing machine used by Russians.. and number of Siberian bears were sacrificed to launch bear wave attacks .😮
sounds like red alert 3
Bro that HistoryLegends joke is 2 years old now. Prigozjin wants his joke back. Yes, he did in fact push the shovel meme. Just look at him using the meme when standing with two russian soldiers. If I recall correctly he calls one of them "bieber". He himself made fun of the Russian army's equipment
You remember when the West said Russia was going to lose the war in a matter of months because of all the old equipment they had for war and how they were loosing too many soldiers.😂...there's videos of americans fighting for the russians

@@ninja.saywhatRed Alert 3 is probably why us millennials used to think Russia was formidable. Tesla Coils + Mammoth Tanks FTW!

I have a quick question for you guys at Kings and Generals; The list of unit losses for both Ukraine and Russia shows 290 drones and 350 drone losses respectively.
But when it comes to a loss of a 'suicide drone' like the shahed types, Are you counting it as a loss if the Shahed has been shot down or destroyed on the ground before launching it?
Or are we counting the drones that successfully hit their targets as losses? Technically the drone has been lost, but it did its job successfully. Afterall the Shahed's are designed to be destroyed.
No, these are bigger drones, think Orions and Bayraktars
@@KingsandGenerals Ahh, I see. Thankyou for clearing that one up.
Shaheeds are technically funny-looking missiles masquerading as drones.
I think a successful strike with a drone isn't a lost drone. Mostly because you wouldn't put a successful missile strike as a loss of a missile.
@@gunterthekaiser6190 True, but ALL missiles are designed to strike targets. I was trying to make the distinction between drones that were essentially missiles and ones that were reconnaissance assets.
russia also produce 3 million shells per yea compare to 1.2m of usa and europe combined
That stat was reported by CNN, if I am not mistaken. Thing is Russian number is for all calibers and the western number is for 155mm only. Still not pretty, but this context matters.
@@KingsandGenerals We've scaled down production of almost everything military related here in the US. All of that money reportedly going to defense most certainly isn't. The criminals in the government are pocketing the money for themselves. Over half of our Congress are millionaires.

Regarding the "decision on the new mobilization is not made yet"
This is not very correct statement because mobilization in Ukraine continues on daily basis and never stopped.
It is not as efficient as we expected but it is in progress. The new "decision/law" is NOT about the additional mobilization. It is about the increasing efficiency of current daily mobilization via increasing the punishment for draft-dodgers and via promotion of the recruiting and via reducing the minimum age for mobilization. From what I heard Zelenskyi also decided to make an "audit" of the already mobilized stuff since many of them are in the rare and have never been to the front-lines (due to corruption, bribes, influential relatives or other factors such as alcoholism or zero physical form).
a defender is mobilized by the offender ORC!...
expect the cats and dogs to turn against your kind...!
Zelensky is afraid to announce an official mobilization because then his ratings will drop. But in fact, there are no men left in the small country villages - they have all been taken away.
Avg age of the Ukrainian soldier is Around mid-40's. The younger generation isn't interested in fighting
@@drunknklr3071According to Ukrainian law the minimal age for forced mobilization is 25. So those who are below 25 are only accepted as volunteers. Moreover, students do not have to fight according to the same law. In Ukraine you are a student from 16 to 23 years in general. That is one of the main reason of the average age mid-40. The other reason is the population pyramid of Ukraine. The number of people aged 40-60 is MUCH bugger than the number of people aged 20-40 (1990s was a very hard time in Ukraine due to hard transition from communism to capitalism - the fertility level seriously declined).
@@Anton_Danylchenkoeven in the capitalist west birthrates are dog shit. Just to point that out. Communism and capitalism kinda both have that in common.
Kings and generals: what was supposed to be a short victorious war has turned into a war of attrition.

"We'll be home by Christmas."
Yep...
Arguably, Putin is in the best position he's been in in a long time. He crushed the Wagner Uprising, and subsequently eliminated both Yevgeny Prigozhin and Wagner's influence. And now with his most outspoken critic Alexei Navalny dead, the last major symbol of opposition has pretty much crumbled. And with Russia cut off from much of the global economy due to the sanctions, Putin was able to capitalize on that and expand the state's influence over the economy.
I said before that Putin's real war of attrition wasn't with Ukraine, but the West. He was banking on the alliance breaking apart through his opponents losing political power, and it seems to be working. Arguably, the biggest winner in the Israel/Hamas Conflict is Russia. And with the USA's political infighting, it doesn't even matter to Putin if Trump loses the election, as long as the results keep Congress in gridlock.
And while Ukraine's ammo stockpile continues to dwindle, Russia is able to both keep pumping out ammo in the factories, as well as getting new shipments from other powers like North Korea. At this rate, all Putin has to do is just keep up the slow march of attrition, and he likely will be able to claim victory.
This ignores a multitude of factors
Could you go into more detail? I think the commenter's thought that Putin's position is more solid than it has been since the start of the war is accurate.
As for the war of attrition, I wish I had a better idea of materiel production from both sides. Absolutely fascinating how modern war (excluding the US' barbaric invasions of Middle Eastern states) has become highly dependent on drones and anti-aircraft capabilities. I wonder what is going to be the next great military technology borne out of this war.
Correct. The West ( especially the U.S ) are only interested in quick easy victories. Once it’s clear that not the case they quickly loose interest. Their populations are tired of war after all the pointless conflicts their “leaders” have dragged them into the last few decades.
@@KingsandGeneralslike what?
@@jooseppielleese7156 like the fact that 80% of the Russian National Wealth Fund has been spent over the last 2 years. Or that most Soviet tank/ifv/artillery storages have been ransacked and there is a limit to how many tanks/ifvs/cannons they can field. Russia has the initiative, but this is hardly over.
The grimmest the forecast has looked for Ukraine since day three of the war.
The night is darkest before the dawn, it could very well be that this turn of events will push NATO towards bigger involvement from fear of Russia gaining further legitimacy from it's allied nations and how this unity among dictators would spell the end to global peace as we know it.
Currently a possibly outcome would be for Putin to be assassinated by a local Russian leader as part of a internal political upheaval (of course it would be likely with support of foreign nations looking to end the conflict without a direct engagement).
The litmus test for this outcome would boil down to Russian public opinion, the west lives in hope that Russia is wanting to be free of Putin but the reverse could be proven to be true should Putin be taken out of the picture and it be shown the the average Russian is as fanatical as the media portrays them to be (uniting behind an even worse dictator and pushing towards WW3).
A key reason the average Russian dislikes the west is around the global energy revolution, Russia is still very much a traditional energy producer and faces economic destruction should it not be able to remain viable in a renewable's led energy future (it's massive troll campaign is very much also directed at attaching renewable's at any given chance).
In fact the invasion of Ukraine was very much to buy time (along with other reasons) for it's energy sector to buy time while the world moves away from it's products. Ukraine's electric grid and it's nuclear/renewable growth meant it could undercut the nord pipelines or any attempt at Russian electric offerings to Europe (the massive amount of land between would make Russia's product more expensive then any offering by Ukraine).
So it was no surprise when Russia invaded and systematically destroyed the energy infrastructure whenever it had the chance.
No amount of equipment would have saved Avdiivka. Tactical mismanagement on the Ukranian side caused the collapse. Multiple units have been noted to have been fighting for months (some since the start of the war) without being cycled for freash troops. The point is, the Ukranian lines shattered because the regiments there were just left there by their commanders to be eradicated by the Russians. Also, it's poignant to note that Avdiivka is the battle in which the Russian army finally figured out how combined arms warfare works. Before it seemed that the Russians had no idea how Close Air Support works.
correct. The extended use of russian FAB bombs with the new gliding kit hammered down the ukrainian lines. These bombs can glide over 60-70km and the jets are out of reach from UA air defence.
So...why do you think they haven't been cycled? Because one simple explanation is there were no experienced, trained units to replace them.
Nah it's very clear that ever since the west lost interest in the war, ukraine stopped having any momentum.
Before, ukraine was gaining ground.. Slowly, but they had victories.
Now it's the other way around.
I suspect the war to end in a complete russian victory as soon as trump is elected.
@@akhsdenlew1861 "Before, ukraine was gaining ground.. Slowly, but they had victories."
Not gonna deny that in 2022 Ukraine made serious ground and the Russians were forced to retreat. However, while in 2023 they did gain ground they were minor and the Ukrainians wasted too much of their potential at that time. And if you actually look at the gains in 2023, at the actual land and the tactical significance of it compared to the general state of the war effort on both sides, at least in my opinion the Ukrainian offensive was disastrous for Ukraine. The only goal Ukraine achieved in 2023 was in PR and that was only true in the first part of the year. After that its all downhill.
And the downhill part was so predictable because Ukraines offensive at least to me seemed like a guy who really pumped himself up, told all his friends how he was gonna fuck this guy up, made a trailer about how this guy who previously ran away was gonna get his ass handed to him, swallowed his own koolaid then ran straight into a brick fucking wall without a helmet.
And well now hes brain damaged, lost a lot of his competency and decided it might be time to start building up a wall. Then when all his friends saw the state of the guy they kinda went...well you know...maybe we should rethink this.
@@Butmunch666 ok first you need to understand 1 thing.
That even if west is giving ammunition and equipment, it is STILL a war between Ukraine and Russia.
The fact that this war is still going and russia hasn't won already, is enough of an upset.
EVERYONE around the globe were 100% of a quick russian victory.
NOONE would believe that this war would end up in a 2year+ struggle.
The ONLY reason that ukraine was, is and will be for a little bit longer in the game is becouse of the western support.
Without the western support ukraine will just be part of russia.
As i said... the west has already gained what they wanted to gain from this war.
it is very clear that the west has no more interest in ukraine.
Trump's election will be the final nail in the coffin.
THE ONLY reason ukraine was making progress in 2022 and 2023 was becouse of some limited western equipment... 16 HIMARS vehicles did more damage to russia than russia's last 3 wars.
thanks for the update

How do the Russian have a 7 to 1 manpower advantage ? If it was material advantage like 7 to 1 artillery ok i guess.
But manpower ?
In the begging of the war Ukraine had the manpower advantage.
Last year about equal.
Now the Russians have 7 to 1.
How does that make any sense ?
7:18
Because people like to compare all of Russia vs all of Ukraine. When in reality, it's around equal. If Russia went full YOLO then yes. But people are really bad at analyzing stuff. No one on youtube is an expert. And the "experts" are incredibly biased. Russia needs these pitched battles because they can't push against the whole line. They have to concentrate around a single battle.
@@nicholasgutierrez9940 well of course, but that is a local superiority. If both sides are equal it means that if 1 side concentrates force in one area, the other side can do the same or concentrate it's forces and push in another.
But if the numbers discrepancy is 7 to 1 over all, the battlefield would look like the Ukraine 2022 offensive. they would just rush B.
Maybe it could reach 7 to 1 theoretically in certain places where the manpower was concentrated but it it’s unrealistic if we mean total numbers probably like 500K Russians in the war zone vs. 700-800K Ukrainians.
In the case of Avdiivka, where Russians did have a total air and artillery advantage, defending with fewer numbers was prudent.
Russia keeps adding people to the ranks while Ukraine struggles to do so, that's one difference anyway
Half of every video is about arms deliveries to Ukraine, I wonder how come Russia can outproduce all these tens of billions of dollars of deliveries and sustain war for so long?
because all of this are mainly promises until 2027, what ukraine gets this year might be like a 25%, probably less of all of that so basically thats why. That in the grand picture is very little. than what a big country like russia can produce or buy. since these same countries keep buying russian gas , oil, grain...
@@horoshkoaleksandr273ad hominem
Well russia do receive a ridiculous amount of shells from north korea and another factor is they are not outproducing the rate of losses they are pulling out a bunch of equipment the soviet already make. The west isnt as committed to that degree as russia is.
They are buying shells from North Korea which has been stockpiling since the 50s and more than likely buying ammo from Iran and China
For one, Ukraine has only received a small portion of pledged equipment. For another, countries are not giving all they can produce to Ukraine. They are giving what they fee they can spare

thanks for the upload .
Tusk is a prime minister, not a president, that's one thing. The other one is that there is little to none pro-russian activists in Poland. The protests are about the grain import (and also the new EU agricultural regulations, which are protested against in whole Europe, not only Poland), and polish transport companies being pushed out by cheaper, non-regulated ukrainian counterparts. Both of which damage polish economy in a substantial way. There is nothing in this matter that can be called "pro-russian". As a Pole I can assure you, we wouldn't do anything that can be called "pro-russian".
Rafal Mekler, leader of the Confederation Party, is pro Russian and is a leading figure in the protests, despite not being a farmer. Also, why arent the protesters objecting to Russian grain? 12 million tonnes of Russian grain are imported each year into the EU compared to 4.3 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain.
@@mango2005 He is only a minor leader (of a minor party) in the voivodeship bordering Ukraine, imo he tries to make his own local politics on that matter. But yeah I agree, and as I said in my first comment, there are some black sheep in every society, nevertheless, in Poland there is far less of the pro-russian ones compared to some other EU countries. And about the russian grain import: the difference is that we did import russian grain before the war, and we still unfortunately do (though there is a plan to stop this). We also did import some of the ukrainian grain, but now as the war is ongoing, Poland became a literall dumpster for ukrainian farmers to sell their produce easily, without transporting it very far. That is the issue: the massive influx in import of low-grade, cheap ukrainian grain, that replaces the polish one.
thank blackrock
Not only Poland; the Agricultural sectors of other European countries (including France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Bulgaria and Romania) also feel the unfair competition with the much cheaper grain imports from Ukraine.
You're saying this despite slogans like "Putin please come and clean up this mess!" used by protestors? And atleast one person being charged with prison because of it?
I bet someone already pointed this out, but Tusk is the prime minister, not the president.
same difference.
This channel is another propaganda of the globalists of the Democratic Party. There's no truth here
To all you guys about Polish farmers protest!!! Its not thats Ukraine food is just more competitive. Its all about UE regulations hardly hindering the production. Polish farmer can not rival with Ukrainian as they can use like anything making thing way more cheaper but with not known quality. So already costs of production are higher than sell price as the cheap food is still coming with mostly no regulations
This is a complete delusion, in all countries in which grain is imported there are mandatory checks that the grain must pass. If they did not pass any inspection, then it would not be imported. The reason for the cheapness of grain is that the prices on the international grain exchange are lower than usual, and Russia is to blame for this, which stole Ukrainian grain and sells it at reduced prices.
@@nicholasognev8716It's imported without the inspection though, hence the protests.
@@skun406 it is checked in all EU member states. What evidence do you have? Where does this information come from?
In this case I would suspect it's a bit more convoluted then a case of farmers being undercut by foreign growers (yes this may the the end conclusion but to get here there is an elephant in the room needing to be discussed).
That elephant in the room just happens to be international big business, with it's combined power to influence regulation (leveraging things like quality of crop to it's advantage) the end result is the farmers who are forced to work under these rules lose the ability to self produce things like seeds or the ability to self manage fertilisation and pest control over their fields. As time marches on the companies extend their influence over farmland via intellectual property and in many ways can be seen as joint owners in every farm that uses their products despite being paid by the farmers for the product and the business not actually buying the farmland itself (if it does it is with the money paid to it by the farmers in the first place).
There is much debate about how this process of corporate control will take shape in the next stages of it's push to control global food production. One outlook could see mega farms appear and the average farmer pushed out of business (forced to sit on fertile soil and unable to produce commercial offerings due to the seeds and everything else needed being owned by the big companies and the regulations making any attempt at growing food illegal).
The other option would see farmers taking on debt to the companies they get their products from and this debt being leveraged as growing ownership over their farmland until they are run out of business, from here automation would pick up and the farmlands would be run into the ground with only a few major centralised farmlands remaining in each nation (again the big finish would be the mega farms but in this case there would be a few more steps involved).
The European Union like much of the rest of the world needs to contend with the growing power of a few to control the means of food production on a global setting before the world itself if brought to it's knees in a way not yet seen before (Russia would likely be laughing the entire way as it needs global anarchy for it to continue it's goal of toppling the world order in its favour)

"Russia can make 300 tanks per year"- Laughs in Soviet Tank-o-grad. Those are rookie numbers, got to get those numbers up!
they just can't, cuz russia is not USSR. diffrent economy, population, resources
Stalin was using 300 tanks as a decoy per week...
theres no way its that low. russia loses that much in a month. if they only made that many tanks, they be out of tanks which isnt the case
they would not be out of tanks because they had over 10,000 in storage. You mix new production and restoration of older tanks together like they have been doing, and they would still be fine. This is what is happening@@Theaverageazn247
@@Theaverageazn247The 300 is specifically newly produced. They're also refurbishing outdated tanks from the rather large Soviet era stockpiles. It's estimated to be roughly breaking even now.

@@liantuanghawlhang What is your source for that statement lol
How many Ukrainians killed in avdeevka ??
Fewer than Russians, that's certain.
"Estimating the start at such an early stage, even before the end of the operation, is very difficult and carries the risk of quite large errors. After the above warning and coming to the point:
The minimum personnel losses of the RUS can be estimated from October 2023 in the battle for Avdiivka at:
15-18 thousand dead
38-45 thousand injured
total loss of people: 53 - 63 thousand
I emphasize that these are estimated and minimum values. Realistically, they may be higher, but in my opinion, writing about 50,000 deaths and 100,000 deaths. this is wishful thinking with no support from anything other than AU propaganda.
Ukrainian losses are estimated by pro-Russian sources at 5,000-7,000 dead, but in my opinion they are greatly overestimated. Based on my sources, I estimate very uncertainly at up to 3,000-4,000 dead and about 15,000 wounded. But this value will certainly be revised.
I estimate the irretrievable personal losses at approximately 5:1 minimum in favor of the Ukrainians. Return personal losses, however, are less favorable and amount to a minimum of 3-4 to 1. Again, I emphasize that these are the first estimates" J.Wolski 19.02.2024

@@technologystrong5190 avdeevka is russian spelling, avdiivka is Ukrainian spelling.
@ns987 Авдіївка is Ukrainian spelling, it also did not change since its settlement in 1778. the Russian spelling however is Авдеевка and because it's now controlled by Russia you can argue that but it still is disputed territory therefore should be named Авдіївка (avdiivka)

Thank you very much for your great content
Now no new video on this war😮😮😮
I dont really understand the claim that ukraine is outnumbered 7/1 when we know for a fact this to be untrue
7-1 advantage in Avdiivka. Because not enough ammunition. Which forced Ukrainians to fight in a more dispersed formation and allowed the Russians to build up forces without worrying about the artillery barrages.
@@KingsandGeneralsthat should have been better explained. It sounded like it was talking about the entire front
@@LEFT4BASS
Entire front is around 1 to 1 in manpower. However, Russia artillery has significant advantage in numbers across, which allows Russia to concentrate forces by stripping other fronts.
All this is based on speculation. Ukraine says something they believe them instantly because of heavy bias. EU and US frogs. I don't believe none of them and I am from Russia. Their numbers always screwed in their favor either to claim an advantage or a victim status (women right, gay rights, LGBT you know, used to it).

@@profinneupane6883 That was proved to be a lie.

Manufacturing of 60-70 T-90M a month is a lot especially since the Russian Federation is under extreme sanctions. It is way more than what many Nato countries can produce in domestic production.
That is most likely a Ukrainian exaggeration. We are not seeing even 200 new T-90Ms annually.

There's no such thing as "Western propaganda", cope. Propaganda implies governmental control over the media which is non-existent in the freedom of media democracies.

i dont know how ukraine can win againts russia....200 billion more aid and only bring ukraine to this situation right now. some people are crazy enough to think ukraine can win this war....can somebody on this channel explain to me how ukraine gonna win this war?
First you need to understand that wars are not linear. "If we invest X amount of money, we will win" is not how wars are fought. Second is the limited information we have on the opposing forces. For instance, unlike the first months of the war when Russia used mostly BMP-3s, now BMP-1s and MTLBs are used to desant the infantry. What does that mean? Does that mean that Russia lost too many 3s and can't replace them or that 1s are more numerous? We don't know. Same with the tanks - older, less modernized tanks are now in use more than before. Again, we don't know why. What about the will to fight? How can you quantify it? In short, no one can give you a number.
They're not going to, I doubt anyone is expecting them too. I don't think there is any chance of status quo ante bellum, and little chance Russia will give anything up without some major event shifting the tide entirely.
What is being played for is exhausting Russia to the point they are unable to launch more special operations, but not to the point where the state collapses.
@@KingsandGenerals i mean that 200 billion aid is not bring ukraine to a good position in this war....now they give them less...you can conclude that yourself. ukraine backed by Nato+ country strugle to provide ukraine with 1 million shell....that saying something.....trump is going to be president....it still unclear to me how ukraine gonna win this war
Because you are thinking linearly. Wars are not won or lost on paper. And they are rarely rational.
They will lose the sooner they negotiate a peace deal with Russia the better they will get a better deal now than in 6 months time the question isn’t weather Ukraine will lose but when

Okay I give up, RUclips keeps deleting my comments. Why can't I say that losing 8*2K for that is not an accomplishment to be proud of?
This is by all means a world war, proxi as it may be, but a world war nevertheless
There is no need to call every regional conflict a world war. By that criteria, we had 10+ world wars in the second half of the XX century.
When over half of europe and half of north america( call it 2/3rds)are involved in ukraine, with some asian countries lending a hand here and there to one side or another…i cant really call it a regional war. But be it what it is…this forever war state of the world is not fairing well. How true the saying” only the dead have seen the end of war” is …

Nice bots
So pretty much no country in NATO or the U.S. has the stock piles nor the economies for a modern war vs Russia
The US has the stockpile but not the political will to use them in this fight.
Which honestly feels even worse then just not having them in general. This is the best chance to knock out Russia as a geopolitical rival for the rest of the century, but congress is just sitting in their thumbs because it's an election year so everyone insists on acting more absurd than normal.
@FallingPicturesProductions regardless of what the US decides, it will be shit on by the global community. If we didn't get involved at all, if we put troops on the ground, or if we met in the middle and ramped production. Someone would cry "well the US Should've done this instead". We have a ton of issues ourselves, although the vast majority of Americans favor Ukraine, we can't ignore our own problems either. Its important to not that a lot of US media is incredibly left leaning, like the New York times, so the world only sees 1 perspective. Europe is just as much to blame, they were all incredibly relaxed on defense spending, until Russia scared them into action.
It would leave the pacific front vulnerable as well. US values Taiwan more than Ukraine, not that they care about the Taiwanese people though, they’re just a puppet interest for US influence in the pacific.
If Russia was half as mighty as the world thought it was, Ukraine wouldn’t have survived the first year of the war.
I’m not too worried about the west being able to beat Russia.
US don't need to go full total war, if they need no other country can match USA war industry.

The problem with the UKRAINE aid bill is that it also includes Israeli and border security funding and other measures not involving Ukraine. I don’t think all republicans are against aid to Ukraine, just how the bill is written.
The party, which at this point is openly pro-authoritarian and anti-democracy, are against any form of aid, but they won't prevail.
Depends on the Republicans. There's a split in the party that the leadership is trying not to exacerbate in advance of an election.

People on the internet should start taking Ukrainian propaganda with a grain of salt instead of believing that they are inflicting "unimaginable" losses upon Russia, despite their shell shortage and Russia's superiority in fire power. Usually the attacker will have more losses than the defender, but in this war it's equalized by the attacker having much more quantitative fire power (both through artillery and air superiority). Both having 60k dead seems therefore much more feasible.
@@colonelpanic17 Except Ukraine is mostly fighting this war defensively which would obviously lead to much fewer losses. All those days where Russia was fighting for weeks over single blocks in Bakhmut for example, you're crazy if Russian and Ukrainian losses would be about equal.
