Why Russia Is Beating Ukraine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- For nearly two years Russia and Ukraine have been locked in a state of intense war, and while many of us in the United States have been led to believe that Ukraine is performing well, and that Ukrainian victory is inevitable, an honest review of the Russo-Ukrainian War shows us that Russia is beating Ukraine. The continued endurance of Ukraine in the war with Russia is now almost entirely in the hands of the Western Powers via their support and funding. Efforts in the West aimed toward weakening Putin and Russia have failed to deliver on tangible results, and Russia's economy, in spite of sanctions and war, is restabilizing. So who is winning the war between Russia and Ukraine? Can Ukraine beat Russia? Will Russia beat Ukraine? And will American go to war with Russia?

@PatagoniaAries Ya get my point
I remember when people (mostly the media) thought that Ethiopia would collapse and lose the War in Tigray, this never ended up happening and Ethiopia achieved a massive victory over the region of Tigray but strangely western media stopped talking about Tigray after that happened.
Its the same reason why Russia is lying to his own people too, its all propaganda.
Didn't realize there was a whole war in Ethiopia. Missed that one somehow.
@robertdeckard2136 it's understandable the media only reported on it the first week of the war
@@robertdeckard2136Yeah I mean if it's in the middle east or africa then it's just treated as "another case of war down there", just goes to show just how underappreciated black and brown lives are
@@cavemancult1999 has little to do with race, most powerful countries are either majority European (Britain, France, russia, USA) or Asian (China, taiwan, iran). The war in gaza (a brown people conflict) has a ton of attention and will continue to do so because of the importance of Isreal on the geo-political stage between western and non western powers. Same with Ukraine and Russia. If the country is important people will pay attention. If Ethiopia was very important to any major power it would on the news constantly during wartime.
One thing I think about a lot is how this war has ruined Russia and Ukraines demographics
People forget war isn’t always a zero sum game and both participants can come out as losers. Even if Russia wins in Ukraine, it lost on a strategic scale.
Both sides have been expending their older population first (the ones trained as conscripts back during the Soviet days and near to retirement), Russia has also been using minorities.
I agree, but they were already bad before the war, Russia's luck is that its rivals also have a demographic problem, in the case of Europe just as bad if not worse.
I think the case is much worse for the western countries side. Russia became much more nationalistic than Americans becoming patriotic, i mean look at them you got a bunch of whiny ass colored hair kids who loves attention and pretension.
You're Goddamn right, but I can assure you - Russia's demographic was ruined all along
After one of the first battle's of the American civil war, one of Lincolns generals said that a couple more battles like this and we'll lose half our army. To which Lincoln replied and they'll lose all of theirs.

@@admiraltroll5255 POV: Your 11 and you watched a YT video essay.
Ok but if the south had managed to get outside powers like England or France to support them, both sides generally agree that there’s a good chance the south could have won. Getting or not letting those outsiders support the south was a HUGE political front for both sides during the whole conflict.
@@jamesives4375 The chances of the French and British intervening on the side of the confederacy were almost none existent. Having just fought the Crimean war a few years earlier their respective publics appetite for a bloody war far away wasn't present. In addition defending slavery wasn't a popular rallying cry. And lastly, ironically enough both Prussia and Russia threatened to intervene in defense of the US should the French and British do so. Perhaps an empty gesture on their part but something that could not be ruled out.
@@cajunpowerPOV: you're 10 and can't comprehend there are different opinions.
Is Russia winning? Yes
Is it anywhere as fast as we first thought? No
Will they still be in a worse position than they were prior to the war? Yes.
@CJ-re7bx No? Russia got the most resource rich areas of Ukraine and now they are exporting more oil than before the sanctions, while Europe is collapsing due to their previous overreliance on Russian gas and oil, and them and USA printing too much money for a fruitless effort.
Europe is collapsing? Western Europe economy is the strongest of the whole wide world, get ur facts straight, lol.
@@SocramOlrak What do resources matter? Russia already has a virtually limitless supply.
The fact is, they have thrown their much needed young men into the meat grinder, driven away their best and brightest minds, united the west against them, and proven that they have a second rate military at best.
@@CJ-re7bxWishfull thinking huh
I think Russia was inevitably going to achieve whatever they set out to achieve against Ukraine one way or the other. Russia is just too big for a state like Ukraine to hold off alone.
I imagine Putin is currently waiting for interest/support from the West to be exhausted before heading back to the negotiating table to bring this conflict to an end.
the western support will continue. russia cant win this war. the fact that it even started is a loss for russia.
Russia won’t be able to annex Ukraine unless they control all of it and that’s never gonna happen
NATO equipment for Ukraine though.
It's more like bringing it to an official stalemate until Russia can recover and make a new attack.
I don't entirely agree with the size of a state being a determining the victory of said state, take USA as an example, did the 13 colonises lose to the immense resources & time spent by the British Empire? Did the Vietcong lose to the might of the us military (or even the taliban for that matter)?
But that is if ur America which Ukraine is not so i think yeah they might lose but i also believe the little guy can win out, so let's see how it turns out. In the game of chess, certainty can elude until the final move is made; victory or defeat may dance on the edge of possibility until the very end & life is not too different.

What if the ottomans stayed neutral in WW1

What if Sweden joined the central powers
What if Poland won the Polish Sovjet Russian war
Poland did win it tho??
@00martoneniris86 Possible History made a video on the Dutch uniting Germany, although in the video the Dutch united only the protestant North Germany
Then Erdugan will probably be happy
@NAXALAKhalistanCommunist
Don't think so, as if the ottomans would have stayed natural the traffic to the black sea wouldn't have been mined so russia would have been supplied from the west much easier.
Also one less front means more soldiers fighting germany and austria. Same for the westren powers all those soldiers from the middle east would be diverted to the westren front. In short the would have ended much sooner with allies victory
Poland won the Polish Soviet War, They maintained their independence and They kept most of the territory that was worth it
Sweden in the 20th century and was very far from the Sweden of Gustavus adolphus. A Sweden joining the Central Powers would have been somewhat useless since Sweden had too little population and it would be relatively easy for England to invade it. Perhaps it would have been more difficult for Russia to receive military support but that would be in the initial stages of the war and I am sure that by the end of 1915 they would have capitulated.
It is genuinely insane to me how nationalistic some Westerners seem to be for a completely foreign nation, while at the same time demonizing nationalists in their home nations
This was pretty much inevitable.
Anyone who didn't see the writing on the wall after the sanctions, I can give a pass to.
When it comes to the failed counteroffensive, the writing is very clear on the wall.
Ukraine will not win and the West will dump it like a used condom.

Meh not really. Ukraine was created by Germany and Austria-Hungary in WW1. It was a young, artificial puppet state with illusions of nationhood.

Bare respects to you monsieur Z but plz do more alternate history as that's why I subscribed to you in the first place
Russia was supposed to run out of ammo a year and a half ago.
Well that’s what western media told me.
I remember when it was stated that Russia was using only shovels at one point and that half the army was destroyed yet they were still gaining ground. To me this had the opposite effect as if the media was correct that means that a bunch of Russian conscripts were note only gaining ground but also doing it with half their army gone and with nothing but shovels, it makes them seems like those guys with shovels in Warhammer or something.

i have never heard any media say this in the EU

Monsier Z becomed Monsieur ZOV
Mister Z, wanted to give a suggestion:
Rhetoric is fun, and many enjoy it in their day-to-day conversations, but I would advise popping up sources as you speak. I read several articles just today supporting what you say - sources exist, data exists. This would give you more credibility and appear more professional if you did a long-form video.
Love to see the channel grow and mature. Thank you.
True, just more work, more editing.

@@Separatist777I am new to this channel so your words got me intrigued
@@CLAROSCURO-uu7vs ok, he posted a video about it too if you're interested
Yeah if keep going Ukraine will not be country anymore
Even if they won they will just become a vassal of west
I believe the stance that one side has to be winning and one side has to be losing is one inherently based on the fact that humans love a good story and love it when things are explained and told as such. One must look at the facts as it is:
The Russians set out to control Odessa and the Donetsk oblast completely, having failed to do so. I have watched many Ukrainian Supporter's videos basing the theory that Ukraine is winning on this, and sure, you could definitely bring those two points into the argument.
On the other side: The current occupation of the Ukrainian south. It is a fatal mistake to compare this to the German occupation of most of Belgium and northern France during WW1, with the war as it is right now and its current belligerents, Ukraine will have no choice but to accept that Russia has control of its current territories. While not the success they wished for, a success nonetheless.
One more perspective: Mapping videos demonstrate the wild ride that was the Russo-Ukrainian front in its earliest stages well, with the Russians coming incredibly close to the center of Kyiv. The Ukrainians beat them back and several counterattacks worked out in their favour: This too is a success in its own right.
There are far too many things to count here and I wholeheartedly believe it is nonsensical to state either that Ukraine is winning or Russia is winning. Both have economical ramifications as a result of this conflict, manpower-wise as well with their already dogwater population and birth demographics.
Calling Ukraine offensive a success is like calling NATO a defensive alliance.
So, a completely accurate statement? Got it.
NATO is a Defensive Alliance.
@@GermanConquistador08Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and Ukraine are defensive actions?
Yeah, @@Based_Lord_Waifu, Albanians were defended in yugoslavia, ever heard of srebrenica? Or maybe far - right russian groups entering Ukraine in 2014?
@@iiiinvestor7817 they volunteer to help Donbas
@@Based_Lord_Waifu "Afghanistan" and 9/11 wasn't an attack on the US.
To the rest, not all NATO members partook in Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq, Syria and not a single country has intervened in Ukraine.
Point is, NATO is a defensive alliance and all those states that intervened did it out of their own interests and not because of some requierment enforced by NATO.
And that’s what no one will admit; Russia is winning this war.
Yes. Seems to me there should be more explicit emphasis that US support for Ukraine is a national security issue, not a “foreign aid” issue.
In order for the US and Europe to keep support for Ukraine they have to sell people the lie that the war is winnable.
Winning at a great cost of the minorities, not the Muscovites.

Something telling about this war is that war as a whole is suicidal moreso than at any point in recent history. Any armed conflict between developed countries destroys their ability to recover from collapsing birthrates and ruins their ability to defend themselves in the future. It just so happens Russia is dying off much more slowly due to recent initiatives and sheer size. They will win the war, even if it means possibly losing future wars
your comment clearly just means you want russia to lose an you have no solution for it
russia isnt going to lose from the birthrate issue as they arent a country with birthrate issues as your comment explains
so why even mention the birthrate issue like its gonna hurt russia at all? you mention it as it is a problem for other countries an you want it so be a solution for russia as well but it isnt
Neither nations are developed countries. Definetely not 1st world countries, and a hard "maybe" on being 2nd world. I personally think that both countries are going to have a rebound in birth rates after the war, as does happen with any other under developed nation. There's just a lack of information what happens with, what most conservatives would call "white countries", after a war in the modern day, and that's what might be muddying the waters. Though I wil admit that whoever loses the conflict in their populations perspective, if not both, is/are going to expierence a smaller rebound in birthrates.
LOL. Who is Russia going to lose to, especially in a long form land war? The Chinese are friends, the North Koreans are friends, the Euro-peons are weak and don't want the smoke, and the less said about the central asian former soviet republics, the better. Even Japanese are weak and don't want the smoke and a war with them plays into the naval side of the war tree which Russia to this day historically lags in because Russians can't swim apparently. But in terms of putting down arty downrange? No one's beating them at that and no one wants to.
China is allied with Russia due to shared enemies, they hate each other in every other way though. Cooperation between the 2 will happen, but it'll be dogshit. @@VunderGuy
@@VunderGuy If Xi smells blood in the water and the USA is out of the picture, you better believe Outer Manchuria, Outer Mongolia, and Tuva will look pretty tasty to China. Same with Finland with Karelia/Kola, Poland with Kaliningrad, as well as Siberian nationalists, Chechen nationalists, Tatarstani nationalists, etc.
I am using examples that have caused Russia trouble in recent times, not some possible crisis with zero precedent or relevancy. If I were Putin I would be cautious about overplaying my hand. If the US weren't holding the Poles back, I'm pretty sure they would have acted by now.
If that’s winning I don’t want to see what losing looks like lol

dude. russia coundlt even take bahkmut in a few weeks. russia wont win this war. the fact it even started means russia lost.
I think western leaders miscalculated, and failed to consider that their prolonging of this war has backfired in the sense that it has given Russia’s military invaluable combat training and experience in waging a modern conventional war; while also hardening the Russian populations resolve in the face of armed conflict.
But all experiwnced russian soldiers are diying acording to what I heard.
@@arturonotari8235Well according to what you heard, Russia is collapsing, they are fighting with shovels, and over 500,000 russians are kia ( the entire russian army in ukraine lol )
Mediazona says about 120k dead and 300k wounded. That would line up with what Prigoz said before his rebellion when run out to todays date.
@@peasantjeff4731 prigozhin also said that ukraine lost over I believe 80,000 or around that and 100k+ WIA.
So perhaps.
But im checking mediazona now and it says 40,559 KIA.
Dk where you got that number.
By the same token, the west isn’t kicking their feet up on this conflict. NATO is also analyzing this conflict to gain knowledge of tactics and Russian capabilities.
Also, it’s not a miscalculation to support a faction that inevitably cannot win a war against a stronger opponent. While ideally NATO would have liked to see Russia fully removed from Ukrainian lands, a pyrrhic Russian victory over some eastern lands is an acceptable consolation prize.
Having invested so many resources and manpower into what ultimately amounts to insignificant territorial gains puts them in a far more precarious position against their ambitious rival China. They too have been learning from this conflict and I wouldn’t put it past them to be more confident against a weakened Russia and make moves/demands in resource rich Siberia.
When the whole ukraine thing kicked off in 22, Konstantin Kisin of Triggernometery said on BBC Question Time that there would come a day when Ukraine had to arrive at the conclusion to settle ans Britain (with other NATO allies) would need to jave a very honest conversation as a country about putting boots on the ground on Ukrainian soil

Well, Ukraine and Russia seem to be mostly technologically equivalent on their own. If nato and other countries stop support Ukraine, yeah it would immediately quickly (relatively, assuming none of the stuff given to them is given back) the tech needed to hold off Russian mass. Russian people are willing to suffer. Putin is willing to cause them to suffer.
With no outside support, Russia has just got more mass to throw. It all depends on it nato (mostly US) support continues.
US support seems mostly unwavering though, and is mostly aimed at whittling down Russia rather than saving Ukrainian lands. At least from my point of view. There is just no political difference between a whole or partial Ukraine (specifically) for NATO or the USA.
If the democrats lose the election, It's very likely gonna end the moment Trump gets into office

@@Dr.Bladeractually many nations benefit in the long term from loosing populations in the short term. China lost huge swaths of their population multiple times.

@@DoktorDomoNo nation has ever benefited from losing large parts of their population.

Ukraine might very well lose, but any Russian victory will be not be worth it. They’ve lost an incredible amount of military equipment according to visually confirmed losses (source: oryx) and still only taken a relatively small part of Ukraine (but still a significant amount). Exploiting this land will also not be economically worth it, as it’s been devastated by the war and will likely be faced by a western backed insurgency that will suck resources away.
Also, NATO is using only a small amount of its power. If the trends in public opinion start to shift towards more support for Ukraine and we provide them what we need, Ukraine can win. NATO has also only grown stronger while Russia has grown weaker.
NATO is the true victor of this war
@xgiorgiox how lol?
Sorry, Russia isn't beating Ukraine.
1st: Territorial losses aren't enough to determine who is losing, speacilly in this war, where territory is traded for massive casualities. Currently its very expensive for Russia to take any land as we seen in the last offensives since last winter even: at Bakhmut, at Vuledar, ar Adivka. Russians are taking very high losses for very little territory. Ukraine can afford to trade territory for russian casualities or time since most of these settlements are already vastly depopulated. additionally, ukraine showed multiple times it was able to liberate territory like in Kyiv, Kharkiv and Kherson, so saying they haven't been able to do so its just a plain lie or ignorance.
2nd: No, the Russian economy isn't restabilizing, the sanctions sucedeed in hiting trade and domestic growth, but specially, they denied the Russians of some complex eletronic imports needed for war production and thats why we are seeing Russian employing increasingly older tanks like the T 62 and T 64 even though they have more modern designs in theory.
3rd: The Ukrainian reliance on Western Support is overrated. At the beggining of the war Ukraine was able to stall the russians at multiple different fronts before Western support was significant. ukraine is home to many indigenous modern systems. Off course we can't compare its capacity to russia's, but saying Ukraine would be defenseless is dishonest, at most, and more likely, not having western help would make Ukraine's situation much more difficult, but not impossible like we saw in 2014 and at February 2022.
4th: You say you re looking into the bigger picture, well, Putin's plan of stoping NATO's enlargment failed miserably, with Finland joining adding 1,340 km to NATO-Russia frontier. Sweden is also in the process of joining and Ukraine will join as soon as the war ends (even if russia "wins", its unlikely Ukraine will stop being independent).
5th: Western support is still strong and long term help was just promised to Ukraine: Fighter jets, maintainace and weapons plants, humanitarian help, EU acession.
6th: It took 9 years for Russia to leave Afeghanistan, so it might take some time for the russian system to colapse again, I believe there are some signs of ware (families of desease ones are unhappy because they were paid with literally bags of onions and potatoes for the loss of their loved ones; Mercenaries are on the rise; the average russian will live worse due to the implementation of the war economy; Russians are facing very high losses and are unhable to even defend their territory from Ukrainian raids).
In short, I believe saying that Russia is beating ukraine is quite of a stretch, only feaseble if we look at territory but thats ignoring the big picture like you claim you re looking into. The war is most likely at a stalemate, with Ukraine trying to ware down russia after it failed to take Tokmat. Maybe the arrival of F 16s will change something or maybe ukraine is wainting to rebuilt some lost strengh.
agree, Moscow horde sucks
lots of mental gymnastics.
@@antoni1124 I also love speaking words
Wow. It's truly incredible how all this is wrong.
Alright, let's do this.
1. Ukraine's offensive last summer was literally them taking little land for massive losses. Practically everyone agrees they failed and didn't do much for the amount people and equipment lost.
2. Yes, russia's economy is stable if not improving.
They still produce new planes and modern tanks like the t90M while modernizing older t72s and t80s with optics. Not to mention missiles, drones, helicopters, warships, etc.
Again, everyone agrees they are still producing these things.
Yeah, they pulled t62s out of storage, the west dumped modernized t55s and leopard1s on ukraine as well, so what's your point??
And on top of that. WESTERN agencies have said that russia's economy has grown in 2023.
3. Western support is not overrated one bit.
Yeah, ukraine held off russia during the beginning weeks. Is it the beginning weeks still??
Ukraine's artillery force is almost COMPLETELY run on Western stuff since their soviet guns and shells are mostly used up or destroyed.
Mine clearers for their offensive, personal training and equipment, armored cars like humvees vital for their 2022 offensives, air defenses, long-range missiles like HIMARS and storm shadows, tanks, western and soviet. Without us, ukraine would have been rolled over by late 2022. There's a reason they are constantly asking for more
4. Bro, we're talking about the war, not outside stuff, like Finland joining NATO or whatever.
Yeah, I know the reasons for the war starting and all that, but I'm focusing on the war, who winning, and all that.
And for what's its worth, ukraine in nato is far worse for russia then Finland or sweden.
5. Western support Is not really strong. The US is out of money to send, and congress doesn't seem to be trying to past any more bills for them.
Uk is FULLY out of stuff to send to ukraine. Their military admitted this themselves.
France barely sends anything besides some AMXs that Ukrainian soldiers hate.
The only Western power still sending anything substantial is Germany, and it's mostly scraps of shells, some recon drones, and bunch if none armored trucks for like logistics.
Some vagueness about building military plants is air or far off and would probably get attacked by russian missiles anyway.
Yeah, a couple of F16s and maintenance aren't going to keep ukraine going, my guy
6. Yall STILL yapping about russia collapsing? Wild.
Anyway, you got a good source about people not getting paid/getting paid with potatos or you pulled that out your behind?
Mercenaries on the rise?? Their coup failed, booted off to belarus, leader killed, and are now going back to the war under government management.
"Unable to defend their territory", lol!
The belgorod raid was a farce that got beaten back in a day by defense forces and have never really happened again.
+it was only meant to really be a distraction from ukraine's loss of the battle of bakhmut hilariously.
In fact russia has done so border raids after that bumbling which had some purpose in destroying bridges, ambushing Ukrainians, etc.
And if you mean artillery strikes against belgorod, not like they can put up a shield, only counter battery or flat out taking ukraine's border territories (which they probably plan to do) xan stop the shelling.
If you actually want to look at the big picture, the west has mostly given up on ukraine, the lack of big aid being sent+calls and talks of making peace with Russia.
While russia goes an offensive that is not only reversing ukraine's little gains from their failure offensive, but also beating ukraine in fortress cities like avdiivka.
+ russian missile strikes destroy Ukraine's remaining scraps of industry, power supply, military storage, airfields, and Barracks.
While ukraine gets ready to mobilize 500k people who don't have feet, are weak to the cold, or who are midgets.
yeah, big picture buddy
You do infact realize that without western aid, the Ukrainian economy will collapse?
Ukraine has recently been forced to cut spending on all government institutions as well stop funding major systems. Which is why reclaimed cities like Izyum or Kherson still look like hellholes whilst mariupol is almost completely rebuilt. Ukraine is going to fall apart if they dont gain total victory in this war.
Yes, Ukraine did stall russia early on but Ukraine had no effective counters to Russian tanks in large numbers till western equipment showed up. May I remind you that Ukraine had the 2nd biggest army in Europe and was quite massive.
Adding on russia only started with 200,000.
And whats your source for high russian loses?
Ukraine has had 13 mobilizations
Is now calling for 500k new men
Said it had 1.1 million in 2022
Now it has 600k in 2023
Versus Ukrainian MoD claims
Only 39k ukrainians have died
328k russians Kia and 1 million WIA
This number is 4x the initial russian army in ukraine
And 2x the army after partial mobilization
Its easy to see who is taking more losses and who isnt.
Mediazona also approves of us, a BBC sponsored source which lists russian kia as around 30k-60k.

I think Ukraine will still be around as a viable state, but NATO membership will be a solid no from the Russians and it has been for decades. Perhaps Ukraine can form another military alliance with Poland, Lithuania, Romania, etc. independent of NATO and other nuclear powers, but the Russians don't want nukes or the potential for nukes that close to them. The USA didn't like it when the USSR put nukes in Cuba, and so the Russians in this matter have a right to put their foot down too.
Militarily the Russians are doing miles better than the beginning of the war, which was an absolute disaster. Just from mobilization numbers I think we too can get the picture that Ukraine is coming away worse for ware in what is currently an attritional conflict. We can see 1 Russian mobilization of 300K and we've seen 4 Ukrainian mobilizations with more willing volunteers, always with talks of more mobilizations. It's not looking good for Ukraine and for Ukrainians and this isn't me putting them down. They've fought hard and good, they have more competent military commanders than can be found in ANY NATO country, they've done a very good job. But I blame NATO for this debacle and the writing was on the walls for Ukraine all the way at the start of Bahkmut and NATO still pushed for the war to continue. For what? A population of people that don't even want to be Ukrainian? Of course across the river is valuable farm land, but it shouldn't be valued with the amount of casualties Ukraine is taking for it
Ukrainian membership of NATO is not Russia's business. It is a matter for NATO and Ukraine only.
@@rogerphelps9939 No. I understand and sympathize with the Ukrainian position, but America wouldn't like Russian, Iranian, Chinese or Afghan soldiers stationed in Cuba or Mexico and they wouldn't like the ability for nukes to be put into these countries. It wasn't nice when the Soviets did it, why should that be a possibility now?
If it's a matter of defense, Ukraine should seek to making mutual pacts with countries that have a dog in the race; Poland, Czechoslovakia, Finland, the Baltic states, Romania etc. most NATO countries just don't have a risk in it beyond monetary value they could gain or lose from the conflict

I my opinion russia will probably win this war for the reasons you just mentioned, however something you didn’t mention is the wider implications which have been made worse due to this military operation, such as population, arms industry and soft power.
Russian Soft power will only increase for the world. She destroyed the Western proxy and went against the whole West, withstood the sanctions. Now the Russian propaganda plays everything off as an uprising of civilizations against the West, which is ruled by people from Epstein Island. coordinates are changing. In this coordinate system, Westerners KNOW that half of their elite are f***g ped_ op_ hiles and they can't do anything, NOTHING. they are just morally destroyed, they no longer have such a concept. These are already post people. and world civilizations are restoring the culture of mankind
I'd be shocked if they weren't winning.
ukraine isn’t going to win lol
Russia 🇷🇺 is winning , I support this fact @monsieur z
Historically, people have both overestimated and fatally underestimated Russian capabilities and ambitions. The start of this war was a bad showing for Russia, due to overconfidence and Putin's weird desire to retain a degree of 'normalcy'. Like the Winter War was a HORRIFIC showing for the USSR. This led people to see Russia as a dying power, as a collapsing power, that will see Zelensky marching through Red Square a conqueror.
But they underestimated how long Russia is willing to hold out. They underestimated how much Russians are willing to take to win this conflict now.
I was convinced, early on in the war, that both sides pundits and shills, had started to huff their own supply too much. I think many in the West especially, have huffed too much of their own propaganda, basically now seeing the war through a 'narrative' and through a 'facade'.
Ultimately: Russia will win without direct NATO intervention. But one can win the war, yet lose the peace. Russia can win all this land, take everything on the Dneiper, and suffer a hellish insurgency campaign which destroys them.
insurgency? ukrainians are not afghans. they live with Russia for centures. Their independence is much shorter in time than Russia's power on this land. Moreover, the most active Ukrainian nationalists will die in the war. The population is being selected. And the cultures are too close (de facto one)
If there's a future insurgency in Russian aligned independent Donbass, then far more likely the Donbass militias will do the counterinsurgency fighting - they have battle hardened regiments fully up to the job.
What you don't understand is this was not a war of conquest rather the defense against genocide on an ethnic group. Yes they started the war clumsily underestimating Ukraine's capabilities but after a few months of back and forth Russia has gained grounds almost the size of UK in 2 years that's more than US did in Afghanistan for 20 years against an army equipped with state of the art NATO weapons. Plus Ukraine also has mercenaries from NATO countries especially UK France Canada Poland and US basically Russia is fighting the collective west in Ukraine by itself.
@@marshalljulie3676Russians and Ukrainians are both mainly slavic tough
There will be no insurgency as eastern Ukraine is majority Russian speakers and sympathetic to Russia. This is just a pipe dream of west. Ukraine is inherently a divided country.
Personally i think Ukraine is winning for the reasons that they have had an underfunded military for decades, have managed to hold out for nearly three years against the supposed second most powerful military despite being the poorest country in Europe, have managed to retake the land in the north as well as large sections of land on the Kharkiv and Kherson fronts. Meanwhile russia has lost far more men with casualties being over 300k, have had a coup attempt, nearly a million russians have fled the country further contributing to their brain drain and russia has found itself in a war of attrition where in the space of two years has lost over a decade's worth of military production.

@@teyrncousland7152 what part of it specifically
@@xnosniper3874 All of it.
@@teyrncousland7152 well if you look at GDP per capita Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe, from 1991 - 2013 Ukraine spent less than 2% of its gdp on its military (2% military spending is considered the minimum that should be spent by most countries), Ukraine has retaken land that Russia occupied first off with the land Russia occupied in the north in their attempt to take Kyiv which failed and they were forced to consolidate their forces in the south, followed by Ukraine's offensive in Kherson and Kharkiv in mid to late 2022, as for casualties according to the guardian, the new York Times, BBC and CNN Russia has over 300k casualties while Ukraine's casualties are between 170k -190k, according to Reuters on Oct 6th 2022 700k Russians fled upon hearing of Putin's partial mobilisation, as for Russia losing over a decades worth of military equipment in 2 years let's look at tanks for example, Russia looses on average 4 tanks a day that's over 2900 in 2 years and russia produces 250 tanks a year so if you do the math it will take Russia over a decade to recouperate it's losses so far.

You can gain territory in a conflict and still lose it. You can lose more soldiers in a conflict and still win. Is Ukraine closer to the west? Is NATO bigger? Are the Caucasus still as weak and subservient as they were?

NATO tactics, intelligence and weaponary turnd up to be an overrated junk. Mmmm...again... :)
It's just numbers, Russia can lose 100k men a year and not blink, if Ukraine loses 100k men it's devastating.

Theoretically, Russia should have the manpower and supplies to win the war, but it has been extremely ineffiect in mobilising them. Yes, Russia has taken territory, but it would cost unfeasably much for them to win. So long as the West (South) is supplying Ukraine they can keep fighting. Is it really a victory if your economy is damaged, your military is exhausted and you've forced a potential ally toward your enemy?
I should point out though that NATO didn’t just swallow Eastern Europe Willy Nilly and against the countries will. The governments of those countries and even the people wanted to join NATO. Also that agreement that they wouldn’t expand into Eastern Europe was really just a verbal agreement with Gorbachev and was nothing official.
Yeah, Verbal agreement is not binding. But that still doesn’t explain why NATO still exists. The fact it continues to exists suggest the US still views Russia as an enemy
The reality is that NATO expanded eastern and kept increasingly trying to destabilize Russia despite Russia was no longer in any position to threaten the west. Now Russia is stronger than ever and capable of withstand the bullies at NATO.
This war has showed, to the world, not only how WEAK NATO actually is, both economically and militarly but also how powerful and resilient Russia is.

The biggest US foreign policy mistake of the 1990's was not trying harder to make Russia a real friend. We spent that decade mostly ignoring them and then when they started recovering from the fall of the USSR we went right back to the cold war policy of containment.
If you think that you are blind the US and the West tried, but Russia rejected. Look how much slack the West gave Russia. 1992 invasion of Moldova, 1994 invasion of Chechnya, 1999 invasion of Chechnya, 2008 invasion of Georgia and even after the 2014 invasion of Ukraine Russia still could have repaired relations with the West.

The US has done nothing but pillage and take advantage of Russia post soviet era, and when a tough and anti western president essentially says “stop”, THEN they get mad.
Think for once
It wasn't ignoring, it was years of draining financially
I think from a strategic perspective this will be a success for atleast the US. For germany and the eu this will take russia as a trading partner of the table for awhile, but with a little bit of luck ukraine will retain the black earth region and the newly discovered gasfields. The US has successfully depleated russias manpower and military propably permanently, from how their birthrate looks and weakened its economic rivals like germany and china. All this at the low cost of weapons and ammunition they were already replacing anyway. The bonus is that a lot of russias neighbours joined nato, because of this conflict
Russia cant be swept by funding a small country with Uplift in technology, even though ukraine might have better equipment and soldiers that isnt seeming effective as ukraine hasent even reclaimed its land
Better equipment my ass...😂
What do you mean, do ukranians use Airsoft guns?@@milandavidovic4499
Happy New year everyone
Happy New Year, pal!
In case Z didn't mention it in this video, it is important to remember that Russia's war on Ukraine is actually Russia's war with the entire West. Ukraine is just the front line.
Are those western troops in the room with us?
@@MetallGecko1They got clapped in Kharkov and Kherson offensive
@@TurtleChad1 That doesnt prove the existence of Nato troops in the Ukraine but ok
@just_a_turtle_chad thats why russians retreated with massive losses? Name one NATO batallion fighting in Ukraine!😊😅
@@MetallGecko1Just ignore the biological labs
I think predicting the future is largely a gambling game. In the end anything could happen.

as soon as isreal is in trouble Aipac and the war lobby would and did throw ukraine under the bus
We had some ridiculous news yesterday. Americans won't let Ukraine have anything now but Israel will get 15 f 35s for free
The brass tacks of it is Ukraine has advanced far enough in key locations to put the Sea of Azov coast in HIMARS range compromising fatally Russian supply lines from the Russian East, and can place direct pressure on the supply line coming through Crimea via the Kerch bridge.
War is an exercise in logistics, this is going to be a very uncomfortable Winter for the Russians who have already lost 25,000 men in the last 2-3 months. It only gets worse from here for them in the near term as Ukraine presses on their carotid... Now that is all contingent on the US congress providing the needed funding for resupply. Given how the GOP are acting like Russian puppets and dragging their feet? It is going to take some serious arm twisting to get those treasonous dogs to get back in line with American values.
Russia is getting supplies in just fine, Ukraine has no "carotid" to pressure, and those casualty figures are a fantasy that only exists in the heads of those obsessed with supporting Ukraine. Russia has won, the Ukrainian state has collapsed and is only being held up with charity from the west (which is beginning to end) and the demographic collapsed the war has caused to the Ukrainian population means they're drafting retirees and asking foreign countries to round up refugees and send them back.
@@Matt_AlaricThat’s because of Ukraine doing really dumb strategies like rushing at guns like ants or zombies.
neocon staging of color revolutions to undercut russian oil sales are "american values", and opposing this is treason? sure, if you're george w bush, lol.
i bet you crank it to pictures of nikki haley. or bibi. don't lie, i'll know!
The only honest thing ever said about this war in English
Keep up these awesome videos! 😎
altho i do agree with some of this I seriously think that if Russia loses back donetsk luhansk zaparozhiya & Crimea the people would be sick of sanctions and etc... and probably protest and heck maybe even coup the government if russia does win it's gonna be fucked over anyway Russia is practically almost dying from EU/NATO sanctions and is also already having heavy protests and riots against the government i mean idk maybe history repeats itself
Short answer: Russia is not winning and has not learned from its mistakes. The defeat of the Black Sea Fleet is historic.
Russian Orc click bait
Ok nazi
why do ukraine shills have the most cringe insults
