Dear President Putin, Congrats on your amazing special military action in Ukraine. Things are going swimmingly! 1. You attacked Ukraine because NATO had expanded. As a result of the invasion, Sweden & Finland joined NATO, yay! 2. You have 500,000 dead/wounded Russian soldiers, and you've take a land area about the size of the U.S. state of Tennessee. 3. You have lost at least 3,000 tanks that cost up to $4.5 million each. 4. Also, for the first time since WW2, Russia has been invaded. 5. Soon you will beg North Korea for troops to repel the Ukrainian invasion into Kursk. I hope you are happy with this outcome, President Putin. The west certainly is!
Finland has not have eny restrictions what so ever that we have send or have devolped in some time in hisrory like licence producted Patria AMV variants.
Same for my country, Germany. Ukraine is defending all of Europe, not only themselves, and we owe it to them to support their fight the best we can! There's no sane reason to restrict Ukraine, especially not after the umpteenth "red line" for Russia has been crossed...
Russian troops are really good at running away if there’s no blocking units behind them. But I can’t really blame those conscripts for just giving up. They got hardly any training, no decent leadership, probably little to no awareness of the battlefield and they are up against highly skilled troops.
Some of those running away could have won track and field medals in the olympics, if only Russia was allowed to compete, what a waste of talent - ho hum.
People understate the combined arms assault Ukraine did at the beginning of this invasion. Artillery barrage followed by immediate assault group to pave the way for main forces. Plus how they moved AA closer to boarder at same time to stop potential airstrikes.
Lukashenko is nothing ... period. Mussolini led Italy ten years before Hitler got Germany. Hitler idolized Benito and learned from him almost everything he did to take over and create all the horror In Germany. That's not the story today.
Pffft, how generous! Lukashenko is being way less than Mussolini as of now. He doesn’t have the balls to go to war and start his own front. If anything, joining in would almost guarantee an eventual repeated fate that’s reminiscent of Mussolini’s, done by hands of his own people.
I found it extremely hilarious as the Ukraine soldiers are posting comments on Google maps regarding the businesses and restaurants in the towns that they have captured from Russians.
Putin giving nukes to Lukashenko is a ruse, it looks more than it is. Tsarina-Diktator Putinescu still has control of them; to threaten Belarus, EU, Eastern Ukraine, and try to make typical Soviet-KGB idea that if he does use them that it wasn't Russia/his fingers on the activation keys.
I was just thinking that he like Mussolini seems to be the sort of guy with no scruples who spends his time trying to figure out which side is going to win the war so that he can be on the winning side and he doesn't want to get involved in the war until he feels that he is sure which side is going to win. Though as much as Mussolini tried to follow that strategy he still got it wrong.

The Russians experience in this war has predominantly attacking or defending fixed positions. It will be interesting to see how they manage to stop a dynamic onslaught. With every passing day they will need more military support.
When it comes to a reason as to why Russian military aviation consistently falls from the sky, incompetence on their own behalf is their go-to explanation. I can't wrap my head around how that would be just fine amongst the population, while also considering themselves so powerful militarily. One would think they'd have figured it out by now.
Lack of spare parts and overstressing the planes. Those military planes have gotten so much more usage in last year than decade before special military operation.

@@rudolfkasanpawiro644 another crime? that implies there's a first, as of yet unknown, crime and that going on an offensive against your attacker in an active war, is also a crime. As far as I know, neither condition is true. Care to explain yourself?
It would be very easy to stop the fight. Four-step process: Russia withdraws from Ukraine, which includes Crimea. NATO troops occupy the formerly held territory so if Russia renegs, they attack NATO which would be war. Russia pays reparations. THEN Ukraine withdraws from Russia.
The biggest reason why Lukashenko hasn't got into this war is simply because his people are not exactly loyal as Lukashenko wants us to believe. He needs his army in Belarus just in case of a very possible uprising. Lukashenko might be crazy. But he's not stupid. Well.... not yet anyway.
Doesn't have to be that way. Luka could invade Russia and grab whatever they wanted at this point. ALL countries around Russia should be taking advantage of the situation
MORAL and MORALE are completely different words with entirely different meanings. MORAL relates to ethics and values; MORALE relates to feelings. The correct word here is MORALE.
@@MeldersJnr Maybe my reply got removed as it was harsh. I said look at Kim Jung Un look at Mohammed bin salman. It doesn’t matter in fact the young ones are more daring
The amount of POW in this offensive is crazy. Russia has too large a border and can not handle a large front. That is why they had to pull out of half the area they took at the beginning of the war. I think Ukraine was hoping the foreign legions could cause Russia to pull troops off the main fronts to protect their borders. They did not, so Ukraine just upped the anti. Every time Russia shores up a front Ukraine can dig in and open another front. Russia will NOT be able to handle this. Ukraine can just keep doing this until Russia is spread so thin they can not hold any fronts and start driving them out of Ukraine.
Ukraine does not have the manpower to just endlessly expand the front. They were running out of men already. This invasion is a Hail Mary pass. The goal is a bit less clear. It could be to try and force Putin to the table and trade Kursk back for territory Russia has seized. Or it could be an attempt to get Putin to cross a line that would bring NATO into the war. Or maybe it's something else. Maybe they just want to force Russia to fight them on their own land for once.
@@peterlawrence3152 Look at how much they struggled the first year. Kharkiv and Izum collapsed, they pulled out of the north around Kiev, and they were driven out of Kherson. Then they dug in heavy in the South so they could focus on one major front at a time. First it was Bakhmut, then Avdiivka. Then they shifted back up to Kharkiv and mostly failed. You will see no advances now as they are digging in in the East and pulling troops out to build up the North, but until they stabilize things their defenses are too weak. By the time they fix the new front lines Ukraine can just open up a new front. Russia has never had a mobile military doctrine like the US has and they are not very good at logistics. Everything is WW1 and WWII tactics with brute force. Ukraine is being trained by NATO and picking up this mobile doctrine and Russia is struggling against it. Ukraine can bring 10,000 troops to bear in a day or two and it takes Russia 2 weeks. They just poor fodder into the area to slow Ukraine until they can move in their experienced troops and build up real defenses. So far they have only stabilized a small portion of the this front. Really I think Ukraine should make an offer. Let Russia keep the Donbass area as they had before the 2022 start of this part of the war, but give back EVERYTHING ELSE... including Crimea and all the land in the south including Mariupol and the areas north of Donbass. Let Ukraine join NATO as long as no other country places troops or nuclear weapons inside Ukraine. Let Ukraine keep the seized money to rebuild and the sanctions against Russia will lift in stages as long as Russia shows no aggressions against Ukraine over the next few years. No charges for war crimes will be pursued. That is more than fare. I just do not think the people of the Donbass will give enough support to Ukraine.
Ukraine without the Donbas means it will become a financial strain on the rest of the EU. Presuming they still have a country. The 12 trillion dollars of oil gas and mineral wealth under the Donbas and Black Sea is what this war is all about. Nothing to do with Neo Nazis and NATO threatening Russia. However Russia is dug in there for 10 years now. They are still advancing in the East. They still have a numerical advantage by 5 or 10 to one in shells. Numerical advantage in jets, numerical advantage with tanks and troops and finances. NATO countries combined GDP is ten times that of Russia but still can’t match Russian shell production. If Ukraine are going to prevail they should have been a hell of lot more up to now and in future. Also I think it is the Belarusian generals not wanting to fight unnecessarily in Ukraine not their current President is why they are staying out. Unfortunately I don’t see this war ending any time soon a tragedy for all people especially the young soldiers and their families.
The Russian rail network is collapsing. They don't have enough locomotives due to a shortage of ball bearings. The rail yards in major cities are blocked by broken-down trains that can't be moved to clear the lines and the Russians are limited to using flatbed trailers and trucks to move vehicles and equipment around. That's why they can't muster enough forces in Kursk to stop the Ukrainian advance. Russia is falling apart before our eyes, and something major has the potential to happen very soon. Their situation is critical, and Putin and his inner circle are near panic now. The head of the Russian rail system is threatening his subordinates with firing squads if they don't get the trains running again.
Putin's surrender is not enough, Russia must pay for the damage done to Ukrainian cities and they must pay for the weapons Ukraine had to buy to defend their sovereignty from Russia's "special operation". Russia must also pay for reparations to Ukrainian families for lost soldiers... Russia must pay for any and all Ukrainian debt and loss caused by Russia's unlawful war...
Thanks as always keeping up with the progress of Ukraine. Lastnight i didn't think you had live stream but i knew you guys would've because i had to go to your you tube channel and had to look for it and sure enough i found it. Usually i get notice but i think you tube messing around again.
Wow, may be the best news/info channel I have seen yet providing updates on this conflict. I'll have to share this with some friends. I have friends on both sides actually.
Im sure everyone will agree that russian military are just about done and absolutely no motivation and the mind set of russian soldiers are giving up calling it done. They know its lost cause and would be killed over nothing.
I see three choices on the crashed bomber. 1) as parts wear out they are replaced by cannibalized parts from other planes that look like they might be okay, but aren't 2) the planes are not getting required maintenance at the required scheduled intervals. 3) Counterfeit aircraft parts from China, Pakistan or elsewhere have entered the Russian supply chain. All threechoices are good for the world, butkind of bad for Russia.
And than there is Gen. Douglas McGregor. One would think if a Russian dictator feels pressured by NATO and America that they could go to the UN to make a case against the oppressors before they go full scale war. At least try to use some words to bring understanding to the your plight, before kicking the neighbors butt!

5:15 Belarusian military is quite small, could easily be overwhelmed by a 50,000 man force or less, and their people are overwhelmingly against a war with Ukraine, who they consider a brother/sister country. There is 0 popular support for such a war and the Belarusian people/military would Likely revolt in such a scenario. It’s funny cuz the nukes and Putin is all Lukashenko has, and the nukes are from Russia, Belarus didn’t create them. He’s basically showing his whole cards, admitting he’s a paper tiger or I should say a paper 🐻
An alternate view I've heard is that when the tanks ran out of gas, well, everyone else had already moved on. That said, if morale wasn't rock bottom, I imagine the tankers would have found a way.
I root for the Persian people against their government. However, we should see the conflicts separately. In Rus vs Ukr, the good guys and the bad guys are well defined, so it's easy to support Ukraine without much discussion. Not so much in the case of Israel. While I think that the Iran regime is clearly worse than the Israel regime, the latter also commits atrocities and war crimes, just as the Palestinian regime they're fighting. Basically, no involved party in that region escapes the blame. Maybe the Lebanese because they've been overrun and shot to ruins by both parties for decades now.
@@mjouwbuis If you think that Iran is not committing atrocities, either themselves or via proxies every day, you live in a bubble. The IRGC has forced Israel to retaliate by sponsoring a genocidal war. The majority of the Israeli population desperately wants peace, but strongly supports the IDF. Peace is only possible when the Islamic Republic ends.
Kursk to Moscow - as a straight shot road trip w/ no interruptions - is an 8 hour drive. Think about that. Thats less miles than San Diego to Sacramento. Now just imagine if Ukraine troops were in Moscow by this time tomorrow AM, knock, knock, Putin.

German Tanks are back in Kursk and they even have British tanks crewed by men that would have been enemy when they were designed.
Wow, these videos are great. So much better than the news channels that endlessly discuss and debate with little facts/evidence.
It would be very easy to stop the fight. Four-step process: Russia withdraws from Ukraine, which includes Crimea. NATO troops occupy the formerly held territory so if Russia renegs, they attack NATO which would be war. Russia pays reparations. THEN Ukraine withdraws from Russia.
And the kidnapped children are returned to their parents.
Of course it would always have been very easy to stop this. It's up to one man. Putin just had to leave Ukraine alone from the start.
Lets be real, its fairy tale. It wont happend.
Nato troops in ukrianie is why russia attacked
Lol so Russia attacked a country because of that reason :\
Belarus, do not, I repeat do not even think about doing something stupid like that !!!
Oh let them, because then NATO would be forced to enter the war and finally end it, since Russia would most likely move in to defend its puppet state
LSA LSA LSA! 🎉 Thank you for the excellent news update, Enforcer!! I hope Enforcer Matt is feeling better today, and wish him a speedy recovery!! 🫖🍵
Russia needs to stop letting their pilots smoke in planes
Lukashenko knows his fate is tied to putin's.
Very much so, he's terrified of Putin failing.
The biggest reason why Lukashenko hasn't got into this war is simply because his people are not exactly loyal as Lukashenko wants us to believe. He needs his army in Belarus just in case of a very possible uprising. Lukashenko might be crazy. But he's not stupid. Well.... not yet anyway.
Lukashenko will flee to the West if Putin's regime implodes
Doesn't have to be that way. Luka could invade Russia and grab whatever they wanted at this point. ALL countries around Russia should be taking advantage of the situation
@@justin-time5880 Lukashenko owes his job to putin.

Wait is that plushy a Pokemon? Ukraine really is catching 'em all it seems, from tanks, soldiers, towns and more.
It kinda looks like an Igglybuff or Jigglypuff but a bit off. Probs a cheaper knock-off
@@zamalamahama4894 reminds me heavily of igglybuff, probably a knockoff plush of one.
I was thinking the same thing. Russia best hope Ukraine is the one that gets them, and not the Pokemon Company lawyers.
Great Breaking News/Short War Summary as always Enforcer! 👏
Thank you, Enforcer.
Hi Enforcer thanks for the news x
Moral is low, but not all of them have lost their senses, it seems. They surrnder instead of fleeing
MORAL and MORALE are completely different words with entirely different meanings. MORAL relates to ethics and values; MORALE relates to feelings. The correct word here is MORALE.

If Ukraine's troops arrive in kursk. They'd be closer to moscow than the Russian army is to kyiv
Thanks mate.! 👍 👍
The amount of POW in this offensive is crazy. Russia has too large a border and can not handle a large front. That is why they had to pull out of half the area they took at the beginning of the war. I think Ukraine was hoping the foreign legions could cause Russia to pull troops off the main fronts to protect their borders. They did not, so Ukraine just upped the anti. Every time Russia shores up a front Ukraine can dig in and open another front. Russia will NOT be able to handle this. Ukraine can just keep doing this until Russia is spread so thin they can not hold any fronts and start driving them out of Ukraine.
You may be right hopefully.
Ukraine does not have the manpower to just endlessly expand the front. They were running out of men already.
This invasion is a Hail Mary pass. The goal is a bit less clear. It could be to try and force Putin to the table and trade Kursk back for territory Russia has seized. Or it could be an attempt to get Putin to cross a line that would bring NATO into the war. Or maybe it's something else. Maybe they just want to force Russia to fight them on their own land for once.
@@peterlawrence3152 Look at how much they struggled the first year. Kharkiv and Izum collapsed, they pulled out of the north around Kiev, and they were driven out of Kherson. Then they dug in heavy in the South so they could focus on one major front at a time. First it was Bakhmut, then Avdiivka. Then they shifted back up to Kharkiv and mostly failed. You will see no advances now as they are digging in in the East and pulling troops out to build up the North, but until they stabilize things their defenses are too weak. By the time they fix the new front lines Ukraine can just open up a new front.
Russia has never had a mobile military doctrine like the US has and they are not very good at logistics. Everything is WW1 and WWII tactics with brute force. Ukraine is being trained by NATO and picking up this mobile doctrine and Russia is struggling against it. Ukraine can bring 10,000 troops to bear in a day or two and it takes Russia 2 weeks. They just poor fodder into the area to slow Ukraine until they can move in their experienced troops and build up real defenses. So far they have only stabilized a small portion of the this front.
Really I think Ukraine should make an offer. Let Russia keep the Donbass area as they had before the 2022 start of this part of the war, but give back EVERYTHING ELSE... including Crimea and all the land in the south including Mariupol and the areas north of Donbass. Let Ukraine join NATO as long as no other country places troops or nuclear weapons inside Ukraine. Let Ukraine keep the seized money to rebuild and the sanctions against Russia will lift in stages as long as Russia shows no aggressions against Ukraine over the next few years. No charges for war crimes will be pursued. That is more than fare. I just do not think the people of the Donbass will give enough support to Ukraine.
Sun Tzu approves of Ukraine's tactics.
Ukraine without the Donbas means it will become a financial strain on the rest of the EU. Presuming they still have a country. The 12 trillion dollars of oil gas and mineral wealth under the Donbas and Black Sea is what this war is all about. Nothing to do with Neo Nazis and NATO threatening Russia. However Russia is dug in there for 10 years now. They are still advancing in the East. They still have a numerical advantage by 5 or 10 to one in shells. Numerical advantage in jets, numerical advantage with tanks and troops and finances. NATO countries combined GDP is ten times that of Russia but still can’t match Russian shell production. If Ukraine are going to prevail they should have been a hell of lot more up to now and in future. Also I think it is the Belarusian generals not wanting to fight unnecessarily in Ukraine not their current President is why they are staying out. Unfortunately I don’t see this war ending any time soon a tragedy for all people especially the young soldiers and their families.
I wouldn't say the crew that abandoned their tank was not brave I would say they are smart. Why fight for a nation that wants you dead for no reason.
The Russian rail network is collapsing. They don't have enough locomotives due to a shortage of ball bearings. The rail yards in major cities are blocked by broken-down trains that can't be moved to clear the lines and the Russians are limited to using flatbed trailers and trucks to move vehicles and equipment around. That's why they can't muster enough forces in Kursk to stop the Ukrainian advance. Russia is falling apart before our eyes, and something major has the potential to happen very soon. Their situation is critical, and Putin and his inner circle are near panic now. The head of the Russian rail system is threatening his subordinates with firing squads if they don't get the trains running again.
A plushie in a tank 😂 didnt expect that

Thank for another informative update 👍🏼
Putin evacuating, AFU advancing
Enjoyed your take on the war today....great video mate....keep up the good work........cheers
All this because Putin is shorter than N Korea's leader Little Kim. Bitter little man in Moscow will go down in history as a loser.
It's always the little guys that start the shite 😂 Hitler, Napoleon
Ukraine pulling an uno reverse on Putin is priceless!
Putin's surrender is not enough, Russia must pay for the damage done to Ukrainian cities and they must pay for the weapons Ukraine had to buy to defend their sovereignty from Russia's "special operation". Russia must also pay for reparations to Ukrainian families for lost soldiers... Russia must pay for any and all Ukrainian debt and loss caused by Russia's unlawful war...
You have to be careful with that sort of thing. Too much punishment and you breed resentment. Too lenient, and the message doesnt sink in.
Hats off you and Matt
Great report, Enforcer. See you tonight.
Ukraine Special Operations is helping liberate Kursk from putin. Slava Ukraine!!!
Thanks as always keeping up with the progress of Ukraine. Lastnight i didn't think you had live stream but i knew you guys would've because i had to go to your you tube channel and had to look for it and sure enough i found it. Usually i get notice but i think you tube messing around again.
Ukrainians: Engage the enemy upon contact
Russians: 😱🏳️🏳️🏳️
“A little bit of personality, but not enough bravery” indeed 😂
Wow, may be the best news/info channel I have seen yet providing updates on this conflict. I'll have to share this with some friends. I have friends on both sides actually.
Im sure everyone will agree that russian military are just about done and absolutely no motivation and the mind set of russian soldiers are giving up calling it done. They know its lost cause and would be killed over nothing.
Well done Andrew 👏 cheers 🍻
According to Scott Ritter all the Ukrainian forces have been killed in their fallen back towards keep
Well, he is MAGA, so no trust in him at all
why believe to A Pooptin potato paid bot 😂😅
I see three choices on the crashed bomber. 1) as parts wear out they are replaced by cannibalized parts from other planes that look like they might be okay, but aren't 2) the planes are not getting required maintenance at the required scheduled intervals. 3) Counterfeit aircraft parts from China, Pakistan or elsewhere have entered the Russian supply chain. All threechoices are good for the world, butkind of bad for Russia.
Ukraines doing a little "SPECIAL OPERATION" in Russia.
Love you guys! Keep up the good work!!
Ukraine should hold a vote in Kursk to see if they want to be annexed by Ukraine
Lol Ukraine cares about voting just as much as Russia does.
Their vote is if the walk to the new border or not..
I think many of them would be happier in Ukraine.
No vote needed historically the area was part of Ukraine, using Putins logic it should be returned 😂
They already did. Captured villages voted 99.9% to join Ukraine. One old babushka voted to stay with Russia and was deported to Siberia.
Ukraine's track record with voting is about the same as Russia's.
Thx for the update.
You do need to update your frontlines, they are a little outdated.
He does that for “operational security”. Russians and Russian supporters watch this. His maps are usually a day or two behind.
@@lowellwhite1603 thats a week old map. Maps are available on many other channels, they are usually a day or two old, not a week.
Imagine how Putin and his body doubles live in this huge palace together 😂
Thanks for the information.
I doubt that Ukraine would want to attack Belarus at this point and expand the war further by bringing a third country into the actual fighting.
IF ;o)Belarus is owerthrown,, russia has a new VERY long border to a non friendly state ;o)
Why not? They're close to a coup there, and it would give the opposition cover to get rid of Lukashenko.
Thank you The Enforcer Andrew
But remember... according to Jordan Peterson, this cannot happen because Russia is "invincible, so just deal with it!".
He should reassure by calling Elon Musk?
Don't forget the other Russian apologist retired Gen Scott Ritter LOL
They can't even drive 80km to Kiev
@@dennisgraham3087 Ritter is a TOOL
And than there is Gen. Douglas McGregor. One would think if a Russian dictator feels pressured by NATO and America that they could go to the UN to make a case against the oppressors before they go full scale war. At least try to use some words to bring understanding to the your plight, before kicking the neighbors butt!

Only problem is the road is 300 miles

5:15 Belarusian military is quite small, could easily be overwhelmed by a 50,000 man force or less, and their people are overwhelmingly against a war with Ukraine, who they consider a brother/sister country. There is 0 popular support for such a war and the Belarusian people/military would Likely revolt in such a scenario.
It’s funny cuz the nukes and Putin is all Lukashenko has, and the nukes are from Russia, Belarus didn’t create them. He’s basically showing his whole cards, admitting he’s a paper tiger or I should say a paper 🐻
Nukes were made by USSR, not Russia.
A lot of rocket industry of USSR was in Ukraine.
An alternate view I've heard is that when the tanks ran out of gas, well, everyone else had already moved on. That said, if morale wasn't rock bottom, I imagine the tankers would have found a way.
What will the Iranian people do when israel turns all government buildings in Tehran to rubble?
Despot Netanyahu must be removed
I root for the Persian people against their government. However, we should see the conflicts separately. In Rus vs Ukr, the good guys and the bad guys are well defined, so it's easy to support Ukraine without much discussion. Not so much in the case of Israel. While I think that the Iran regime is clearly worse than the Israel regime, the latter also commits atrocities and war crimes, just as the Palestinian regime they're fighting. Basically, no involved party in that region escapes the blame. Maybe the Lebanese because they've been overrun and shot to ruins by both parties for decades now.
@@mjouwbuis If you think that Iran is not committing atrocities, either themselves or via proxies every day, you live in a bubble. The IRGC has forced Israel to retaliate by sponsoring a genocidal war. The majority of the Israeli population desperately wants peace, but strongly supports the IDF. Peace is only possible when the Islamic Republic ends.
I dont like that normal guys, basically forced in a war, which surrender are called cowards.
Personally, I would call them smart.
It's only the Russian TV propagandists calling them cowards, anyone else thinks they're too smart to die for Putin.
ukraine had no choise. its the only way for them at this moment to get a stronger position in peace talks
Ukraine could of Not invaded Inderpent country of Finstan
Kursk to Moscow - as a straight shot road trip w/ no interruptions - is an 8 hour drive. Think about that. Thats less miles than San Diego to Sacramento. Now just imagine if Ukraine troops were in Moscow by this time tomorrow AM, knock, knock, Putin.
Never underestimate how much suffering Russian people will endure for their country. Doesn't matter who their leader is or how ruthless he is.
They didn't seem to have too much trouble or tapping out on 1905 and 1917.
Yes, they will fight hard to repel an invader of the motherland, just ask Napolean and Hitler.
