i agree , economically the rubble is crashing and almost worthless , Russian S300 and S400 defence systems have proven to be hopeless . look at the latest destruction of all the S300 systems in Iran , all destroyed by Israeli F35s and Iran is left blind . look at the russian T14 and T90 tanks $5 million a pop, destroyed by the US hand held javelin valued at 100k . [ 90% success rate ] now India is running to the US to get rid of its hopeless russian defense system. the truth we are finding out is that russian defence would be 30 t0 40 years behind the west . we are finding out that the Russian military strategies are the same as WW2 just meat waves . All command comes from officers way behind the lines , with no officers ar sergeants in the front . well no sergeants exist in the russian military . it is just a terrible loss of life on both sides . By a sociopath and Narcist who wants to be the next Peter the great , well or Catherine the great . read Putin's essays , there his heroes . the invasion of Ukraine is one of the greatest military blunders in modern History . if the Ruble keeps falling , which it cant any more because it is not being traded privately , the russian Reserve bank can not hold its value any more , so it can not be traded , so it is probably worthless , Russia is finished . locals are trading Euros and US currency as a medium of black market exchange . the real rate of the Russian rubble may be toilet paper . No reserve bank in the world or commercial enterprise will accept Russian rubble's . the value of the Ruble represents the value of the Russian economy. artificially inflated by printing . home loans are now 30% .
Instead of offering Ukrainian oblasts occupied by Russia for peace, ala Reagan, Trump could shock Putin by doubling down on support for Ukraine. ala Gorbachev, Putin would see the writing on the wall and capitulate. This could happen BEFORE Trump sent another dollar of support to Ukraine!
@@thor9563yeah yeah dream on. USA 35 trillion in deficit.. trump wants to default on that n the the USA will suffer for some years .. they can't afford to support Ukraine anymore trump knows that
Small gains can sometimes precede a significant collapse of the front. Talks alone of lowering the age of conscription to 18 make me doubt the overall narrative of this video Russians are losing in other places but Ukraine This is by no endorsement of Russia. I can’t trust the same media that tricked people into believing Kamala Harris would win the election n
At the moment Putin won't invade Georgia or Moldova - because he's busy enough with Ukraine and now Syria. I completely agree, we should give Ukraine everything to defeat Putin now, when he's weak! If we'll give him time to recover - we all know what will happen. Unfortunately it's not very popular, neither in Europe nor in the US to send troops in order to help Ukraine (exception: France and Poland). But this is what we should do!
@@Comm.DavidPorter anything could happen but take into account that there are already thousands of mercenaries or volunteers from NATO countries fighting on the side of Ukraine.
Sadly I wouldn't count on help from Trump. I hope Europe can help Ukraine keep fighting. The pressure on Russia needs to be kept up until their economy implodes.

Them going down because of economic hardships is so unlikely, that we shouldn't waste so much time talking about it. Of course, sanctions must be tightened and pressure increased, but it will be very tough to solve this problem this way alone. If they are not defeated militarily, this confrontation between the future and the past can go on for decades, and with increasingly large losses everywhere, imho.

With multiple war fronts and diverse enemies, Russia may not survive into 2025. Military assets are diminishing, with over seas deployment a significant factor. As more and more mercenaries work for Moscow, Putin's strategic plans may be compromised, both on the Ukrainian front and elsewhere. When thinking about the past three years, the 'Weather Wars' are often ignored. In the first years of the war, Russia believed it could win on the sales of natural gas. That didn't happen as both 2022 and 2023 were relatively mild winters allowing the Europeans to switch to LNG and avoid a crisis. The forecast for 2024 looks a lot different with exceptionally cold weather impacting the northern oil and gas fields, placing greater demands on electric generation and centralized heating, and a exposing a mix of untrained conscripts and foreign mercenaries to a death by freezing on the battlefields. The sinister word: 'hypothermia' caught my attention with your comments about 'soldiers sleeping on the ground'. While quietly freezing to death is not a painful departure, but it is preceded with poor thinking, a loss of focus, and foolish decisions. Isolated soldiers in a trench are one thing, but tank and artillery crews working with radar and surveillance teams need to be alert and able to coordinate activities without compromise. When lulls on the battlefront slow life down, the cold prompts alcohol consumption leading to intoxication, unconsciousness, and death.
And more breakdowns in Russia’s civil society as more infrastructure succumbs to the brutal cold. No money for maintenance and repair coupled with a shortage of men to do the work. Same for their oil production equipment. Mild days or breaks in the weather will present opportunity for visits from Ukrainian drones. It is going to be an interesting winter for Putin. I’m sure he thought his success in the U.S. election and the dissension he has sown in Europe would ameliorate much of his mismanagement in Ukraine, but the tipping point may have arrived a hair sooner than the dividends he was hoping for. May the good people of America and Europe hold strong and see Putin’s folly fail, finally and completely.
@@The1DUIGuy Agreed! The world and US media refocus on elections, a Middle East war, and other concerns over the past 12 months leads many news watchers away from the many challenges affecting regular citizens in Russia and Ukraine. Most viewers forgot the urban infrastructure break downs in Russia resulting from poor maintenance and freezing weather. I remember Russian city dwellers who lost central heating and gathered around wood fires to keep warm. The shift to a war economy didn't solve this dilemma as municipal services continue to falter and collapse in the months ahead. Aside from public services, the future of Russia's gas and oil fields, along with their aging refineries, will continue to haunt their subsistence economy. There is a point when recycled equipment becomes more dangerous than useful, costing lives on the home front like casualties on the battle front.

2:31: the Têt Offensive was a major loss. For the Viet Cong. It was initiated by extremists among the Vietnamese Communists, that out-maneuvered moderate Communists. They were later pushed aside themselves. The aftermath was that Viet Cong almost lost its fighting power, there were no territorial gains, and there was no general uprising in South Vietnam. The war stalled for two years, and after the offensive, the North Vietnamese People's Army was virtually the sole armed Communist force.
What you say is basicly true but understand Hanoi was not going to share power with anyone not even the Vietminh and that Uncle Ho was marginalized and General Giap fled for his life to Hungary. The US never understood Ho Chi Minh was a moderate same as they don't understand Putin is a moderate ?
@@jaimepatena7372 Not because of the Vietnamese though, rather what changed opinion was Walter Cronkites negative reports after the Tet Offensive, which was odd since VC was practically annihilated after it.
@@panzergrenadier2946 Yes because the Vietnamese never gave up. When you rebel against an occupier..you do not have to win conventionally. All you need to do is survive and pester the occupier until the occupier gives up. There is the famous exchange between and American officer and a Vietnamese officer during the Paris peace talks. The American told the Vietnamese that they never defeated the Americans in a major battle...and the Vietnamese officer replied "True...but irrelevant."
instead they are losing territories like never before and to date ukraine lost 980 000 troops and now they resort to abductions to force even ukraine old men to join the army against their will.
'Decolonization of Moscow🇷🇺 empire is the only way to end its imperialism', And I don’t mean Putin´s imperialism, but Moscow imperialism in general , from Solzhenitsyn, Pushkin and Brodsky to Navalny and Dugin.
There were and are shades and gradations. You shouldn't lump Navalny in with Dugin. Navalny was nostalgic about Crimea as ruzzia's quondam seaside resort, but he recognized that pursuant to the UN Charter, the 1991 agreement on dissolution of the USSR, the ensuring referendum, the Budapest Memorandum, the Russo-Ukrainian Friendship Treaty, ruzzia had no business waging war against Ukraine to retake Crimea.
I think China and India will be helping out the Russian Army again this winter as they did in the first with no response from the West. The Ukrainians are crying out for military equipment to create new brigades, but they are not getting it, even though they have the manpower. From what I understand, they are still chronically short of artillery ammunition. After nearly three years, we are still doing the bare minimum to help them. Ukrainian prospects have improved somewhat mainly due to their own ingenuity by attacking refineries, for example.

Chuck needs to have a closer look at a basic map over Syria. A rebel-held Aleppo will most definitely NOT cut off Tartus from Damascus. A rebel-held Hama might. A rebel-held Homs will. Geography matters.
For all the advice from experts, there are certain realities which will happen no matter what the strength of Russians are. If only the age-old style of funding and supporting dissidents of Russia is secretly done, the fall of Putin's Empire would be much faster.

10:42 Leadership still needs to coalesce in Georgia, the two danger points that are immediate for the current illegitimate government, are right now, and the 29th of December. Because right now will probably bleed right through into the 29th December, the current illegitimate government might have created this very situation that they needed to avoid. I'm going to extend a metaphor. The tip of the spear, the edge of that tip is there already. The very body of that tip is there and growing. The shaft is absolutely there, 85% of the population supports becoming part of Europe never mind all the other non-russian actions. The fiber that holds the shaft and the tip together are not entirely defined yet, and that would be the philosophical basis, which is in addition to the already well spelled out desires of the Georgian people for being European and not Russian. What is currently missing is the true leadership necessary to direct that spear, in other words the hand that directs the spear to its goal. The current president of Georgia is making a good attempt, and so are the two main leaders of the two main parties of opposition. But I'm not actually of the belief that they will be the true leadership for a new maidan, a Georgian style maidan. That will come from somebody already in the tip, or maybe the sinew that connects the tip to the shaft. It might be the very leadership that I just talked about, but I think we will see new leadership come up from the young protesters, the very protesters that are avoiding violence while violence is instigated on them. This will take time. Having said all that, the more violent the illegitimate government becomes, and the more quickly that happens, the more likely that there will be an overthrow from the people. What has not been mentioned, is the role of the military in all of this. Unlike the security forces, the military has been very careful not to be involved, and this is partially because the military is composed of the people, and unlike 2008, the military is in fact on hand. The illegitimate government has not used the military precisely because it cannot depend on the military not siding with the people. I don't think the military will become active except if Russia decides to bring in security forces and/or military into the equation. At which point Russia loses. I honestly think Russia loses anyway, but right now there is a path, as tenuous as it is, and as narrow as it is, for Russia to retain control of Georgia. But I'm of the opinion that that's actually a mirage, an illusion, and that Georgia was lost in 2008 permanently it is just taking time for it to show up

All you need to do is survive and pester the occupier until the occupier gives up. There is the famous exchange between and American officer and a Vietnamese officer during the Paris peace talks. The American told the Vietnamese that they never defeated the Americans in a major battle...and the Vietnamese officer replied "True...but irrelevant."
@@samsungtap4183 Pootin is not a moderate. He listens to the most extremist of "thinkers" in Russia, like Alexander Dugin.
Let’s hope the Ukrainian military can make progress before Trump becomes president and NATO steps up. 🇺🇦💪🏻
All they need to do is hold on til russias economy falls and/or military then putin falls.
Trump will give more than Biden...I hope russia doesnt collapse before then!
Of course they can’t do anything
instead they are losing territories like never before and to date ukraine lost 980 000 troops and now they resort to abductions to force even ukraine old men to join the army against their will.
Enlist first
Stay strong and never give up

I love Chuck's analysis, keep doing interviews with him
A warmonger that makes millions out of wars.
Slava Ukraine ❤❤❤
'Decolonization of Moscow🇷🇺 empire is the only way to end its imperialism', And I don’t mean Putin´s imperialism, but Moscow imperialism in general , from Solzhenitsyn, Pushkin and Brodsky to Navalny and Dugin.
There were and are shades and gradations. You shouldn't lump Navalny in with Dugin. Navalny was nostalgic about Crimea as ruzzia's quondam seaside resort, but he recognized that pursuant to the UN Charter, the 1991 agreement on dissolution of the USSR, the ensuring referendum, the Budapest Memorandum, the Russo-Ukrainian Friendship Treaty, ruzzia had no business waging war against Ukraine to retake Crimea.

LMFAO !

Ivans are 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ everywhere in Syria 😂😂❤
I think China and India will be helping out the Russian Army again this winter as they did in the first with no response from the West. The Ukrainians are crying out for military equipment to create new brigades, but they are not getting it, even though they have the manpower. From what I understand, they are still chronically short of artillery ammunition. After nearly three years, we are still doing the bare minimum to help them. Ukrainian prospects have improved somewhat mainly due to their own ingenuity by attacking refineries, for example.
Exactly
Trump will soon announce a military package for Putin😅. Don't you worry, just a month to go.
@@mentalretard2359 If he tried that, he would be ridden out of the White House on a rail. There are limits to what he can get away with.
LOL! China is already helping itself to Siberia, which the Chinese consider their own territory. Russia's list of allies is growing shorter.
[YT video headline] Russia Empties Tartus Naval Base in Syria of Ships! Abandoned?

Satellite imagery shows that Tartus Naval base in Syria has been abandoned of Russia's ships.
Great work
👍🙏👏💪🤞🇺🇦
Great propaganda that was rejected by US voters
Hope is an important force ❣🍀🍀🍀🇺🇦🇳🇴
Hello Chuck and Jay, again.
I follow Your videos every time, with interest.
The Great Emperor, Vladolf Putler, is following the same path, from "Little Father", from 1942, in Rzev!

Russia brought in 50,000 sausages to be fed into the meat grinder …
Yep, the problem is the dictator Putin between Russia and North Korea have plenty sausages.
If this fella had a drop of shame in him, he would have died of it now.

Good one.

Keep going thanks, we are watching this Ukraine Russia channel all the time on RUclips, thanks mate see yall
War Russia Ukraine Putin losing
Without proper planning you can't win any war though one may have huge armaments in the arsenal
Dying for 1% of foreign land
It is much much much less than that.
Thank you gentlemen💪🏼🇺🇦🤝🏼🇺🇸💪🏼
Optimism is very important!😊
Russia are winning on paper....whatever that means 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
Hope Ukraine starts focusing on logistics supply chain hits and training facilities.
Thank you
Vlad the Imploder indeed
Russia to Gen Kissel: tea or window?
here in uk the supermarkets are still selling russian vodka and its advertised on tv , how come it hasnt been sanctioned?
Are you sure 🤔thought it was taken of the shelves ages ago
There's none in the Swansea area supermarkets. I'm missing my Bloody Marys !
@@brianfreeman8290There is great Polish Vodka lol
@@brianfreeman8290there are ample alternatives to Russian vodka and I personally enjoy using a fine gin instead. Canada pulled Russian vodka immediately but then again we never had a version of Londongrad here.
I believe Ukraine and Moldova produce Vodka.

Corruption plain and simple😢😢😢😢
The free world have to step up the support to Ukraine. Besides arms also humanitarian assistance; generators, fuel, food and cash funds - Use WFP's sublime systems to handle the massive humanitarian needs. Use the frozen Russian funds to fund it all.
Will this guy ever acknowledge Ukraine's losses?
We don't need a 20c-style invasion game.
I just hope what Chuck says, is truthful.
Chuck needs to have a closer look at a basic map over Syria. A rebel-held Aleppo will most definitely NOT cut off Tartus from Damascus. A rebel-held Hama might. A rebel-held Homs will.
Geography matters.
Russian ineptitude on full display
How many Georgian fighters from Ukraine, fully armed and battle hardened, are going back to Georgia ?
For all the advice from experts, there are certain realities which will happen no matter what the strength of Russians are. If only the age-old style of funding and supporting dissidents of Russia is secretly done, the fall of Putin's Empire would be much faster.
Great news so NO Ukraine in NATO NO peace NO DEAL
👹
The amount of trolling on this site is ridiculous. You can stop posting your dumb one-liners , we know who you are, and no, russia is NOT winning anywhere any more. Get used to it, and find another job , trolls.
Ukraine is a beacon of democracy
Can't say the same about the USA now.
... becon of democracy, that is
@Truthb4bullshit 🇺🇸 America is a 🌈 Nation.
Beacon of democracy with soldiers stripped of legal rights, men being abducted on the streets, trade unions rights heavily curtailed, press/media freedom curtailed, a President whose term expired...
@hazelwray4184 A country under invasion must adapt
Ukraine is winning

By quickly advancing toward the Polish border. 🤣🤣

Elementary School drop out I see ! LMFAO !
If Ukraine can remain fully operational until December of next year, at the latest, Russia will fall.
10:42 Leadership still needs to coalesce in Georgia, the two danger points that are immediate for the current illegitimate government, are right now, and the 29th of December. Because right now will probably bleed right through into the 29th December, the current illegitimate government might have created this very situation that they needed to avoid. I'm going to extend a metaphor. The tip of the spear, the edge of that tip is there already. The very body of that tip is there and growing. The shaft is absolutely there, 85% of the population supports becoming part of Europe never mind all the other non-russian actions. The fiber that holds the shaft and the tip together are not entirely defined yet, and that would be the philosophical basis, which is in addition to the already well spelled out desires of the Georgian people for being European and not Russian. What is currently missing is the true leadership necessary to direct that spear, in other words the hand that directs the spear to its goal. The current president of Georgia is making a good attempt, and so are the two main leaders of the two main parties of opposition. But I'm not actually of the belief that they will be the true leadership for a new maidan, a Georgian style maidan. That will come from somebody already in the tip, or maybe the sinew that connects the tip to the shaft. It might be the very leadership that I just talked about, but I think we will see new leadership come up from the young protesters, the very protesters that are avoiding violence while violence is instigated on them. This will take time. Having said all that, the more violent the illegitimate government becomes, and the more quickly that happens, the more likely that there will be an overthrow from the people. What has not been mentioned, is the role of the military in all of this. Unlike the security forces, the military has been very careful not to be involved, and this is partially because the military is composed of the people, and unlike 2008, the military is in fact on hand. The illegitimate government has not used the military precisely because it cannot depend on the military not siding with the people. I don't think the military will become active except if Russia decides to bring in security forces and/or military into the equation. At which point Russia loses. I honestly think Russia loses anyway, but right now there is a path, as tenuous as it is, and as narrow as it is, for Russia to retain control of Georgia. But I'm of the opinion that that's actually a mirage, an illusion, and that Georgia was lost in 2008 permanently it is just taking time for it to show up
Sorry to say but they're not losing in Ukraine, Ukraine is losing in Ukraine.
Old men lying ! Shameful!!!
50% of every business/cash inheritance in Ukraine for the next decade should be divided and given to the people who have served on the frontline
Their fellow Ukrainian citizens owe them everything
Anyone who hasn't volunteered for frontline service should not be allowed to inherit more than one domestic property
Ukrainian cowards who lived abroad should be unable to inherit anything from Ukraine
Is this for real? The Russians are advancing on every axis.
