Something BIG Has Changed on the Front Lines in Ukraine
Embed
- Published on Mar 7, 2026
- The nature of Russia's war against Ukraine is changing. Russia ability to conduct offensives against Ukrainian positions is slowing, allowing Ukraine to build up a surplus of material. That in turn has led to a surprising development - Ukraine is increasingly going on the offensive. In this video, I look at the latest updates in the Ukraine War, including how drones continue to change the nature of the battlefield and how Ukraine continues to put more pressure on Russia than ever before.

Ciao. Attiva la traduzione automatica per corsia. 🤷
It would be easier to like if it was more to the point.
@u1zha100%. This guy is dragging it out. I won't finish this. Waste of time.
Get to the point. Until then, no like, no subscription and no coffee.
Liked the opening sentences.
You must red Sun Tzu.
arctic weather and food shortage is a lethal combination
* Freezing weather ;) The Arctic circle is some 20 degrees north of all of this.
Both lead to low morale which is the most lethal to an army. These days you are seeing russians surrender to wounded Ukrainian soldiers they captured..russians dont want to fight.
@ouicestbien It's not even freezing weather in Ukraine right now. It's around 0C, give or take a degree or two. We have a very mild winter this year.
@tessjuel 0C wet conditions are much more miserable, and deadly than dry weather at minus 10C. The lethality curve for temperature has a pretty big bump in the middle.
@tessjuelLet's hope the wind blows in the Russians' faces, though!
1991 borders ... UKR go get em ! 🇨🇦🇺🇦
Yes. Also, Russia will have to give up Rostov. Not really because Ukraine demands it as war reparations, but because the people of Rostov will not want to live in post-war, post-Putin Russia anymore.
@jorr1334 Criminal trials and reparations God, will punish all traitors of Democracy.! 🇨🇦🇺🇦
@tukkajumala Will that have anything to do with reparations ? 🤔 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
@jamesewanchook2276I replied to ypu accidentally. 😊
@jorr1334Diese Menschen haben einfach PUTIN UND SEINESGLEICHEN satt.
Sie wollen in Frieden un ein souveränes Land leben und sich weiter entwickeln können!
Gotta hand it to the brave soldiers of Ukraine! And the brave PEOPLE of Ukraine.
CodyReynolds-c3e Just found out PAMELA HARRIS is back in jail for FRAUD
CarlosAlbertoGonzález-d4i No, it's the past
And the brilliant technological innovation of the Ukrainians. Conventional tanks and armour are now largely obsolete
@flotinaway7 Isn't this the same Harris that was suspected of sexually abusing her ill mother in Canada?
SethGrainger shut up
I work with some Ukranians, one specifically is from Mariupol. Bloody awful what they had to endure. I really hope Ukraine gets the upper hand, Slava Ukraine from Ireland 🇮🇪
They had to endure the Asovs in Mariupol who used the people as human shields. Life there now is much better
@TrevorCrook-c1s they used your mom? what a shame
Better than the Russian population in Ukraine (many millions) having to endure jail, execution or being burnt alive at the orders of the genocidal Nazi goblin, who lives in luxury at taxpayers' expense.
@drchrisjoyce6315 what kind of drug do you takes?
@ukiz- do you 'take' not 'takes'. I suggest you learn English first, then you can make a start on complex subjects such as Russia and geopolitics.
SLAVA UKRAINI 🟨🟦🟨🟦🟨
Offensive by drone looks very like an alternative (cheaper and more flexible) version of the US air offensive concept.
American mega spending on their military will become increasingly obsolete as the Ukrainians are learning on their battlefield of today how the wars will be fought tomorrow. America would do well to supply Ukraine with as much support as possible to get this war over and done with as quickly as possible because on their current trajectory they are setting themselves up to be increasingly toothless in a world that they increasingly don’t understand.
@colingenge9999 american and western air power doctrine is actually more effective than it has ever been. Air power is about taking out C3, logistics, training, and strategic weapons, this chokes the forces on the front lines allowing a much smaller land force to overwhelm and actually utilise the enemies larger force size against themselves (because their larger size means they are more reliant on a now non-existant supply line). People have been saying air power and western docterine is dead for decades but that assertion is consistently disproven time and time again. People have a short memory, the 12 day war reaffirmed this position.
It's pure cope.
You're not "offensive by anything" without infantry that has to hold positions. Which Ukros deeply lack.
This is another PR stunt before all is lost.
@gc99289 the air offensive concept is a sequence of actions, such as suppression of air defense, then destruction of ground defense. Only then the ground offensive takes place. It does not replace the ground offensive, it precedes it.
Only in some relatively few cases has the US used air offensive alone. Typically because it did not want to send in ground troops in the first place. That is a different problem.
This is why the Ukrainian offensive in spring of 23 stalled. They didn't have the air coverage. This was before the heavy use of drones we see now. They were still depending on WWII tactics.
Thank you Paul - that was very uplifting - not that it was ever doubted that Russia will fail in the end. You reap what you sow!
@Mary-i2k2t Why did you believe him? How could you fail to see through his lies?
Bet you $1000 000 Russia will win.
Ukraine has done well but overall they have been on a slow back foot, both sides are taking astounding losses.
thanks as always Paul,

And it stands with the Palestinians trouble makers, and with the Muslims ,and with the Iranienii and ao on .I wonder who the heck stands with the Aussie bathlers.
Thanks for that.
Since Europe agreed on the 100billions loan, I feel quite optimistic on Ukraine's chance to win this.
Yeah as long as they are not being sold overpriced end of life ammos that 100b should go a long way..unlike what happened to 40b from the US..
And the fact that Russia has three times the casualties.
Lovely .. but IF you have savings, then get more than financial advice .. the dollar is going to collapse .. everything depends on the US dollar .. tell everyone you care about!
People who fell for western propaganda feel optimistic since the war began. Why not, those Ukranian numbers look good, why should they lie lmao
Finland has offered Trillions in support ! Money is not the problem - getting the weapons from US is the issue !
4 years ago, Vlad thought he, in just 3 days, could just march his army down the road to take over Kiev and the Ukrainians would welcome them. HA. Slava Ukraini! 👍💙💛
💙💛
Classic 3 Brain Cell comment, US General Milley said 3 days.... we are 4 years into this phase of the conflict and you don't know this ????
Yeah and Ukraine has been losing territory and lost an entire generation of men and destroyed the country 👍
@Magnum_G.I I assume you meant to say Russia destroyed itself by attacking Ukraine? Because that's how it looks at the moment. Ukraine will be closely tied to Europe, likely both EU and NATO member once the dust settles. Even without Ukraine, NATO has already doubled its border with Russia and increased their defensive budgets significantly. Russia, on the other hand, is weaker than ever and effectively at the mercy of China. The economic realities once the war ends, might well cause a full collapse.
So, in the end, Russia will have destroyed itself from yet another dictator fabricating threats that did not exist. But hey, perhaps after this they'll rise again as a democracy. That would be nice now that America looks like it's settling in to take Russia's place at the dictators' holiday retreat.
@Magnum_G.I Russia has lost a generation and worse in this travesty!
1991 borders !!! 🎉🎉🎉 🇩🇪 go ahead.
The bravest 🇺🇦 country in the world, rising again and again with dignity, strength, and an unshakable spirit.

Zelenskyy and his team will be written as heroes, the David taking on the Goliath.
And there will be a lot of study and learning from what Ukraine has developed.
unfortunately the US is on the wrong side of history...as Putin's lapdog because of the orange clown
@tryscience Agreed, this should have over long ago.
Zelenskyy is a traitor and is going home to Israel.
@rlemacs a traitor to whom? trump? putin?
@pauliusgecas472 To the Ukraine people. He works for his people, the jews.
Paul, your analysis is bullet-proof....I seriously am starting to believe even Crimea can be recoverable. Thanks, Paul, as always
Just hang in there Ukraine - Russia can be beaten if Europe ups its game just a bit more! When the win comes it will have been against two 'superpowers' (Russia & Trumpistan)
@rogermorris8737 TDS. Has taco stopped support for Ukr? If he did the front would collapse. Taco has just got the Eu to stump up cash, not just hot air. I don't like Taco but just maybe his idiot weasel words are for the oligarchs. Putin knows he can't survive without a huge victory, because his inner circle and oligarchs want him gone.
Putin is a Thug. He doesn't care one wit about his own Russian Soldiers or the Russian Citizens. We are all judged by our actions in this life. He is no exception. The Ukrainians are a brave and determined people. They are also extremely intelligent and find ways to win not only by strategy but also innovative methods of war and organization. They understand what is at stake and are willing to fight to the end. I have a tremendous respect for the Ukrainians ability to take it to Russia. In our world today, you either have character or are one. God's speed to Ukraine. Stay the course! 🙂👍💣
It's like my PM said at Davos. You're either invited to the table or you're on the menu.
it dose look like a power swing for sure , push up Ukraine!
Pure propaganda. Russia is strong, and Ukraine is on the brink of collapse. The mayor of Kiev wants to evacuate the capital for goodness sake
@1237barcajust wondering, is the Putin regime still able to pay 15 roubles per comment?
@MrCinemuso no. Two potatoes and one pint of vodka per post.
@MrCinemuso is reality hard to grapple with so you claim that anything you don’t like is being paid for?
@1237barca Righto troll, whatever you say.
Be Brave!!!………. like Ukraine 🇺🇦!!!!
Be smart, like Russia. Dont be dumb and pick a fight that will end fatally.
@1237barca Bot farmer.
I am here for Putin's rage-tears.
I bet he's shitting his short little pants! 😂🇺🇦♥️🇨🇦
You misspelled 'pootin' 😂
Putin can't afford to pay his propaganda trolls anymore, that's why it got so quiet in the comments last year.
How many times has Ukraine counter attacked only to loose it all back to the Russians, achieving nothing....
@maryginger4877 So funny that you say that when Russia holds less Ukrainian land today than they did before the Ukrainians counter attacked in 2022. Literally every dead Russian in the last 4 years had died trying to retake land that they already used to hold LOL.
We Canadians stand in solidarity with Ukraine's will to preserve their sovereignty. Slava Ukraini.
@NoJoke-r5oHm.. Can't say I've known of any invasion here.
Canada has proven to be a stalwart ally. Thanks from Ireland.
If it wasn't for our effing President, Ukraine would be on the verge of victory by now.
bit hard when they have 4x less the population Ukraine only have so many young ppl
@JacobMatters They are smarter and much more highly motivated than the Russians.
@JacobMatters5 to 1 death ratio means Russ getting wrecked every day since the initial attack. Absolutely senseless waste of effort and humanity. Dictators waste and destroy everything for nothing..
If you haven’t noticed 21 century wars are won by technology not numbers!
In 15 minutes a Delta Force squad won a war in Venezuela and changed its history.
Ukrainian young ones are not being sacrificed. All the fighting is done by Ukrainian parents, grandparents and uncles. They’re thinking about the future.
Russians are still fighting like in the XX century and dying in masses!
@JacobMattersit is the American bullshitting which has created the biggest problems and losses for Ukraine.
SLAVA UKRAINI!

Slava Ukraini from California...all good news. Thanks
It isn’t news. It is propaganda. Selectively chosen little details which paint a picture the opposite of reality.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Here in CA… with Ukraine 💯
It would be a shame to let Russian aggression go to waste by letting them quit on their terms, before their territory can be permanently partitioned into several or dozens of smaller fiefdoms.
It has to be done or Russia will just keep causing problems like they have for the last 200 years
@TalanRosen A lot longer than 200 years. 350 years at least, and I'd be inclined to say even longer.
All that death and destruction on both sides - all just for Putin's self-agrandissement. There was never any other benefit than Putin wanting to appear to be a strong leader to boost his flagging ratings. Even this talk of Putin wanting to be like Ivan the Terrible or Catherine the Great just shows it's really for his self-agrandissement. Putin the flaccid.
@TalanRosen If the RF splits up into several smaller nations, this would also be better for their own people.
Oh, Russia ain't finished collapsing yet. Not for a while.
Glory to Ukraine.Glory to the Heroes 🇺🇦🙏❤️!!!!!
Thank you

Slava Ukraini! From UK 🟡🔵
You forgot to mention that they also banned telegram on top of blocked starlinks, just destroyed communication in army! I expect a big shift because of that. I would say it could be the end of the story for russia.
Long live the fighters!
Theiy´re having it short
The truth matters , Paul continue reporting!
One thing is certain, the truth is elusive.
or lies
I am pro-Ukrainian, but Paul is not accurate with his assessment at all. According to the ISW (which holds a pro-west bias) "Russian milbloggers initially portrayed [new Ukrainian] counterattacks as a broader Ukrainian “counteroffensive,” but Ukrainian military sources and some Russian milbloggers have since indicated that the Ukrainian counterattacks are limited in scale and span." Also, if you look at DeepStateMap you will see the same of what we've seen the last 3 years -- slow Russian progress at the expense of high casualties on both sides, with Russian casualties being higher, but arguably similar to Ukrainian casualties per capita.
This is excellent news.
But untrue.
Ukrainians are amazing!
Good for Ukraine! Looks like they did "have the cards" after all!
Whenever the Putinists push that line, you know things are about to take a bad turn for them.
Imagine what ukraine could do if America was on their side
The Yanks have given enough to destroy the Russian Army and economy. Now the EU has to stump up.
@jcoker423If only Trump wasn't Putin's puppet. Russian money built the Trump businesses.
@johnfitzgerald2625 TDS. If Taco was a Russian asset he would have stopped all support for Ukr. And in a week they would have collapsed. Taco's money did not come from Russia, that's more of the RussiaGate which has been discredited except by TDS conspiracy theories. But the Biden laptop and Hillary emails were real.
I DO NOT LIKE Taco, but IMO he is talking over the head of Putin to the oligarchs 'I am reasonable, get rid of Putin).
Putin can't end this SMO without Kiev or all of Ukr. He will be hung off a lampost. The only way out of this nightmare is removing Putin.
…. but what incredible heroes to do it without America .
@johnfitzgerald2625wow you are another one with STAGE 4 TDS DISORDER it warms my heart to know TRUMP continues to live rent free in you little brain 24/7 🤣🤣💩🤡
No Starlink + blockage of Telegram for Russia =THE END
Thanks. I hate vague clickbait.
Also the plummeting russian soldier morale. Russians dont care about fighting putins war when half starved and frozen, they are surrendering whenever they get a chance
@TrumpstienPhile plummeting Russian economy as well
ah yea bruh makes total sense. this is the end.
go back to this guys comment section a year ago: this is the end
two years ago: this is the end
three years ago: this is the end
reality is you guys are delusional morons who think what you WANT to happen determines reality. and you never learn your lesson lol.
@chrishayes5755 Kiev in 3 days is still a valid claim?
"If regular army is not wining - it is loosing. If Partisans are not loosing they are wining" - Gen. Westmoreland, Who was commander in chief of US Army in Vietnam said this great truth. The same can be said about war in Ukraine. If Russia is not wining, it is loosing, if Ukraine is not loosing it is wining. It was like that aslo in Afghanistan. The Afghan People managed to survive 10 years of war of attrition with The Mighty Soviet Union - and finally it was the Soviets who had to withdraw from the country. The same is going to be in Ukraine - particularly that Ukraine is much bigger and stronger than Afghanistan and is having much biger sdupport from its friends. Slava Ukreaini !!! Down with russian evil !!!! Greetings from Poland to All The Friends of Ukraine !!!!
When US army was in Vietnam, or Soviet army in Afghanistan, none of it's soldiers thought it was (or should be) America or USSR. But EVERY Russian soldier (except Ukrainian spies, probably) believe that Crimea and Donbass are parts of Russia, and people, living there, believe the same.
@Robertlee963 But the same is about Ukraine. All Ukrainians belive that Donbas and Crimea belong to them. Moreover it is like that according to International Law and International Treaties that were signe dalso by Russia.
@janbezziemi4162 - "All Ukrainians belive that Donbas and Crimea belong to them." - because legally, they are Ukrainian. And don't try to bring up the elections of secession hosted by russia, because we all know they are a sham.
Gernany 🇩🇪 stand with Ukraine and its people.
They already tried that once, but it didn't work out too well for them.
so many people dead for nothing...for politicians
Only despots.. like putin, trump, Netanyahu, Hitler, etc..
A politician. not plural. None would be dead if one side hadn't decided to invade.
You mean dicktator???
One tyrant.. putin
@phhdvm
Wrong. Putin's wrongful invasion + the weak US and European 'leadership' that lead to this f'ing mess.
Slava Ukraini!
Canada will defend the other front against the USA Axis power. Clearly we know Trump needs to help Russia.
Anyone else noticed the dropoff in bots and orcs across these channels?
I haven’t but I will be more observant going forward.
They are not getting their potatoes on schedule, I expect.
Thank you Paul for your excellent analysis! Greetings from Munich, Germany 🇺🇦 🇩🇪
Ukraine has become so effective with drones that it is now training the British armed forces, and perhaps others
My broken hoover could train British forces
ngl the training programs + weapons lent/given gave the supporters armies the benefit of testing n updating their forces without putting their own soldiers at risk
basically the spanish civil war of 1936 but now
It will be income that Ukraine can depend on. They will be selling their drones to the world and will be considered experts for a long time
@tessagood1 they can’t even keep the lights on. They aren’t going to be exporting anything other than refugees.
@1237barca Sheesh, you're busy today, troll. Your mum would be sooooo proud of you.
A plausible thesis eloquently presented. Thank you.
We are watching the tide turn. What happens when the tide turns, for a moment there is a balance, but as soon as the tide gets moving it begins to gain momentum. This year will be a good year for Ukraine.
Most of us hope against hope that you're right.
Very cool, get them dependent on Starlink and Telegram, then yank it out from under them. The time to strike is now, before they adapt.
The Russians were trying to blackmail families of prisoners of war to provide the information to link into the Starlink system.
The Ukrainian agencies set up a false doorway to get the GPS, names, location, and even the names of Ukrainians wanting the money to provide the information.
The government HAS all that information now. The Ukrainians who though they could get money are caught and face serious charges.
I also heard that because of the coup in China their also lacking supplies and even the drones in Russia their like holding them back or something.
Croisons les doigts !
@ethanwilde4716
China is having a coup?
First Starlinkgrad, and now Internjet... 😆
Hi Paul!
Ukraine is an amazing nation populated with skilled, innovated, unfaltering heroes of democracy, freedom and humanity.
It is covered with full graveyards.
Corruption
How about nazis and criminals!
Lets hope this war is over fast. The rebuilding will be long ❤❤
US warlords won't allow this war to be short. They want to have many more to reconstruct. In the meantime european politician clowns push Ukraine to go forward and die for them.
@dunga309And Orcs ? Technology Zero, Innovators Zero.
Just Man at Arms force projection.
Russians are years behind the Technology race.
I was in Ukraine last summer and roughly around July I sensed the momentum shift towards Ukraine. It wasn't blatant, nor obvious, but it was there.
That's roughly about the same time the US president chose to stick his nose into the Russian occupation and came up with Witkoff and Kuschner.
Regardless, the soldiers I have contact with are still determined to KEEP ALL of Ukraine.
Unfortunately because of the US involvement, the Ukrainians lost trust in the USA.
Ukraine IS a sovereign independent country 🔱🇺🇦💪
The US can never ever be trusted again. By nobody.
Very good to hear the excellent news ! I expect 2026 will be a huge win for Ukraine.
You could not be further removed from the truth.
Ukraine is loosing badly and with that NATO too.
@bernardkerkhof3794 Maybe you mean losing? Or have the troops been loosed upon Russia?
Regardless, Ukraine is now pushing Russian troops out of the South, and for the second month in a row have inflicted more Russian casualties then there were new Russian recruits for the war. By about 5,000.
NATO is not in the fight. If they were, Russia would lose in about 2 weeks. *By all means, keep up your Russia fanboy comments. I'm delighted to counter them with hard verifiable facts.*
TY Paul 😍❤. 💙💙💛💛Slava Ukraine!!!!!
A tipping point for sure Paul. Now Ukraine doesn't need NATO : NATO badly needs Ukraine ! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
That's funny!!! Ukraine wouldn't be in the position it is in right now if it wasn't for the $$$ and equipment they have received, think before you speak so you don't make yourself look foolish.
I support Ukraine 🇺🇦 💯
They are Nazis supported by NATO.
Ukrain is CREATIVE!!
Paul, thank you for another analysis and for your continued support for Ukraine!
Great analysis Paul
USA
Russia has also shutdown Telegram which the Russian military uses. It is largely believed this was done, because the Putin regime is worried about Telegram may help civil unrest/revolution. This is a sign Russia is in trouble and in some ways it may create a self fulfilling prophesy. 1917 is coming.
The russian frontline terrorists has started toake videos begging Putin to re-establish telegram.
Telegram is working. small lags
So let it be done…
It’s going to crack open. Putin has made a huge mistake with shutting down Telegram
Wonderful to hear positive news. Thank you
Thanks for the update
This is encouraging news!!!
Thank you for the informative videos
SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦
I agree Russian morale is rock bottom. By fragile.
Just for Parity: _After Russia surrenders and withdraws all of their forces, should Ukraine keep bombing Russian Civilians for the next four years?_ 🤔 - j q t -
Thanks, Paul!
Happy news! With Ukraine and her people ALL the way!
Thank you Paul for this indepth and clear analysis. You have given us hope that Ukraine can defend, infiltrate and eliminate the enemy by using the strategy that you have explained and that their perseverence, commitment and sheer determination can help them win this war. Slava Ukraini!
I cross my fingers !
Slava Ukrainia ❤
From Paris France with love.! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Slava Ukraina. pour les siècles des siècles ❣🇺🇦
Thanks Paul, greatly appreciate your perspective.....
Thanks for the update, puts a lot of the recent political manoeuvrings into context.
Nice piece of information. Cheered me up more than anything else I have heard lately.
Add in the fact that they now can't use Telegraph, and I think this is gonna be an interesting couple of months coming up.
Thank you - this is positive.
As usual thanks Paul. Interesting and considered analysis
One of the most spurious arguments that I've been hearing since the war started was that we needed to capitulate to Russia to shorten the war and save Ukrainian lives. At first it was anti-American leftists like Noam Chomsky saying these things out of pure sanctimony. Then it was Donald Trump and the far right making this argument out of pure bad faith.
These idiots had it exactly backwards. The vast majority of invasions and occupations eventually fail, the fact that we attempted it is the only reason Americans soured on foreign intervention in the first place. We tried to protect a capitalist regime in Vietnam, not understanding that several centuries of often brutal foreign rule had conditioned them to resist our intervention as if the fate of the universe depended on it.. We offered humanistic secularism to the medieval tribal people of Afghanistan. This was unnatural and like a Crocodile's preternatural immune system their fanatical warrior cultures simply outlasted our willingness to stay.
What pacifists, America firsters and to some extent even the Biden administration failed to notice was that for once, the people willing to endure hardship 'til the bitter end were the ones fighting to join our team.
Wars of liberation are fundamentally different from wars of occupation.
If we had intervened forcefully from the start this would have gone the same way as the liberation of Kuwait in Desert Storm, a quick, vindicating, lopsided victory with American casualties you could count on your fingers. This would have been made all the more glorious by the fact that Ukraine (unlike Kuwait) is actually a country worth fighting for. Ukrainians embody the values we only pretend to believe in.
Our failure to recognize this home field advantage made us take the road of maximum pain for Ukraine. This war will take decades when it should have taken months. Every American should feel deeply ashamed of that.
Ukrainians will endure nevertheless. Their victory is inevitable even though it won't be quick.
I've got to wonder, did Trump and Chomsky co-ordinate their bogus talking points in between "Massages" at Epstein's place?
100% Should have given Ukraine the tools to drop the Kerch bridge two weeks into this debacle, and strategically escalated from there to make the gain not worth the pain.
Ukraine is sparing its own lives only to hold the european deslusion
Well written. I am no fan of Taco, but consider this
a) Taco has forced the Eu to put their money where their hot air is, they have been promising to up military spending for 10yrs, Nothing until now when they are panicking.
b) After the failure of this SMO Putin is in a real corner. When this 'SMO' ends he will be facing an open 5th floor window. Unless he can take Kiev and most of the rest of Ukr. And even then it will be guerrilla warfare. The Red Army only managed to crush Ukr partisans 8yrs after the end of WW2.
c) Maybe Trump is not appealing to Putin, but to his inner circle and oligarchs who want to save their own skins. Trump appears to be reasonable, Putin is intransigent! The oligarchs want to end this conflict to get back to their Western loot.
d) Don't beat yourself up about US support, the USA saved Eu in WW1, 2 and ended the Cold War. You have supported Ukr, despite Taco's words.
e) Look at Ukr elections 1991-2020. A 50-50 split between pro Western and pro-Russ. That has totally changed, even Russ speakers (Ukr voted 90% for independence in 1991) now want nothing do do with Russ. A similar pattern was in Ireland in 1910-20.
In the longer term Putin has achieved the destruction of Russia and the unification of the Ukr's
Slava Ukraine and God Bless America,
Putting Chomsky and Trump in one team!🥴
@Keepyourheadupalways That last line is tounge in cheek of course but It's ironic that they both make roughly the same argument about Ukraine. I think the common thread is that Chomsky hates America so much that he reflexively makes excuses for foreign autocrats and spreads propaganda to help them. (Orwell has some good quotes about people like him).
Trump on the other hand simply likes autocrats, has spent his life doing business with them and wants to be one of them. If you look at how many hard core leftists have defected to Trump/Putin's side (Tulsi, RFK, I could name 20 others), I think there's indisputable evidence that horseshoe theory is real.
Love you Paul❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
great news! thanks for encouraging analysis. Glory to Ukraine and it's defenders of freedom and democracy. Down with Putin and his evil regime.
Good insight
Thanks Paul. I have high hopes for Ukraine demolishing pooptin. You give me hope it will happen.i believe they will do it. Ukraine WILL WIN. VICTORY TO UKRAINE!!
Thanks for the bigger picture.
Thank you so much again for helping me stay sane in this Times. I say it sometimes, but not often enough.
Selenzkj should send Trump a set of cards that are labeld "I have the cards"!
I've seen a few videos of Russian POWs in the last week, they all looked like skin and bones, and most of them were wearing 4 or 5 layers of jackets and still shivering so much they had difficulty eating. It's truly nightmare stuff and you know within the Russian military there are constant battles between factions over supplies and who gets what. The fact we see so many russian soldiers publicly appealing for donations for basic equipment should be utterly humiliating for Putin, but he's so desperate he's got no choice.
Wearing layers of clothes doesn't help, when you have no calories to burn, and you are soaking wet. Totally done.
And a funny thing is that the shutdown of telegram will probably lead to a significant reduction in the donations reaching the frontlines.
@globetrottingtore.640 It's already happening, donations have slowed to a trickle. But they will set up alternatives, getting those donations is a life or death matter for these poor bastards.
@kanojo1969bastards, yes. But I won't use the expression poor. The more they suffer, the better it is.
Yes, Russia will do workarounds. They are actually good at doing workarounds. I just hope the telegram and starlink blackout will result in tangible positive results for the Ukrainian team.
@globetrottingtore.640Soliciting domestic donations doesn't require realtime video and data, so fixes here would presumably have no effect on battlefield communications.
Thanks for your insightful analysis, Paul. This was an important episode.
Go Ukraine from New Zealand
Thank you for the update. I really hope, the war will end soon!
>excess drones, other targets
i've heard that there are still a lot of working substations in the moscow area...
Ukraine's gameafacation of drone kills was brilliant, allocating the best equipment or the newest equipment to the highest scorers. I have never doubted their ability to win this war as long as they continued to get the necessary supplies. It's been a long time since I had any heros, now I have an entire nation of them. I have also gained respect for Europe for keeping them supplied, and I am ashamed at how the United States has failed it's obligations to humanity.
Thanks again Paul top video. Slava Ukraine 🏴👍
the clearest lesson from the Russian invasion of Ukraine is in command structure. the greatest weakness of authoritarian/totalitarian states is *paranoia*, which never allows any unauthorized thought among the generals. democratic states have civilian oversight and freewheeling generals focused on results.
Russian generals always lie to the czar
Ukrainians are brave and smart. They deserve great respect for their wise decisions regarding the defense of their country.
Well done Paul and glad to see your feeling better! It shows😊 The most lucid and cogent analysis!
I've said from the beginning that ruxxia's centuries old tactic of using their own soldiers as "cannon fodder" and "meat waves" is solely designed to use up the enemy's ammunition. That is a terrible thought to realize that the ruxxian government and Tinpoop deliberately use their own soldiers as targets just to use up the ammunition of the enemy. And Rump invites the bloody, terrorist dictator to Alaska and gives him the red carpet treatment, while the US Congress sits MUTE. DISGUSTING!!!
Well if you've said that from the beginning you've been wrong since the beginning. No side uses their own soldiers as cannon fodder or meat waves. You don't do that if you want to win and obviously both sides want to win, so your point is nonsense. Ukraine have been particularly guilty of holding men in undefendable positions and sending in more men to get slaughtered in order to try to delay Russian advances so that is somewhat closer to your description of cannon fodder, but even then Zelensky can claim that he is sacrificing them because the delay is worth it in his mind. It's still terrible though.
@libertarianireland3239 You obviously do not have knowledge of the horrors of ruxxian history. It is a well known fact in ruxxian military history that they use their own soldiers as ammo targets to use up the enemy's ammunition. ruxxian psychology is not normal like yours and mine. Human life to the communist oppressors in ruxxia are not worth more than a jeep or a tank. Humans are just another tool to achieve their aims. They are a deadly dangerous and psychopathic culture based on hundreds of years of murdering and taking over their neighbors. How do you think ruxxia has become the largest country in the world? It wasn't by being "friendly." It was by brutal invasion and murder, the same plan the head chopping muslims have except the muslims are smarter and they take over countries from the inside through immigration and a massive large birthrate. Read about the Holodomor. Read about the horrors inflicted recently on the people of Chechnya and Georgia. Keep in mind that human shape does not guarantee safe or normal human.
@libertarianireland3239 Look at the history of Russia. They use their troops as cannon fodder. Except now they have a low birth rate.
Hi Paul... 😊
