I guess we've reached the "Infinite Revenge Loop" portion of this war, where we forget how it started and spend the next few years fighting to avenge our unnecessary losses.
"but if we just send more men in this time, we'll win, and it will have all meant something. all we need to do is send more. then more. then even more."
It is only natural for this to happen. Normal people do not think of higher goals or objectives. "You killed a relative or mine, you are the enemy and all the hate goes to you."
Yep.. war only ends when one side annihilates the other side. This Biden theory that we can just wear them down till they quit is fanciful thinking. This war will go on till the US gets tired. I say 2 years then Russia slowly engulfs Ukraine. US can not win if they worry about "red lines " . Ukraine is a sacrifice to bolster nato.
And one thing about war, historically, will always remain true. It does not matter who started it or for what reasons… 20 minutes in, for the little people that have to fight and die, it’s personal. “It doesn’t matter why you killed my son, my father, my brother, my mom, my sister, my friend… They’re dead and you will pay“
In good time the truth will be revealed, just like it was in the Iraq war, the Wuhan lab leak and hunter bidens laptop. Anybody that listens to CNN and doesn’t question what they report on is a fool
It's hard to lose family to something that would embarrass you. The question is how long your antidotal observation holds. Once families have grieved will they start asking better questions or will they bury themselves in the informational vacuum.
it doesnt matter if they understand it or not, what is important at this point is to make sure the russian people or the nationality of russia no longer exists after this war, they have proven time and time again throughout history that they only know how to wage war, conquer and kill so it is time to eliminate them ALL and make sure they cant invade ever again.

I have often wondered what do the Russians believe they are fighting for? Having witnessed how Americans are prepared to believe the lie that a a fair and free election was stolen it is possible to appreciate how Russians can be persuaded to believe that they are fighting to preserve their country and their way of life. Propaganda works in America because American law does not differentiate between free speech and hate speech. Which enables an ex president and his acolytes with the aid of entities like Fox News and its amoral owners and personalities to spread lies for monetary gain. In Russia there is no effective free press, just a Kremlin controlled propaganda machine.
I found the same thing reading my German grandfather's WW2 diaries. At the start of the war he was writing that the venture was idiotic and Hitler was a fool; a couple of years in, he was fully "bought in", not to the Nazi ideology, but to the need for military victory.
And we have a plethora of people like that nowadays; denying that this has to be stopped; sooner, rather then later! Most of them still wearing the commie-red caps!
I've been saying this even before 2022 - the "total war" narrative and "fortress Russia is under attack' are the same today. Putin learned from Goebbels.
People understandably don't want their loved ones' deaths to be in vain, but they also have no idea the true extent of the losses and what is actually going on.
@@lbb101 Yet they still back Putin, Russian people have been cut off from the out side world they are getting lies rammed down their throats and they are buying it! just how bright are they?
I witnessed the coverup of a negligent manslaughter while serving in the Iraq War on the #USSPrinceton. Look up Robert Macrum and you'll read about his "mysterious" death. Nobody wanted to admit that their negligence killed him, so they just made him "missing in action" and then smeared his widow when she expected the life insurance. That same command covered up one other death and 2 (or more) sxl aslts on that deployment.

@ FritzSchober just watch American’s government take American’s money from theirs bank account! Americans leaders are too Arrogants when they realized they are broke they are not like Russia 🇷🇺 they are 🐀🧟♀️Our leaders are a rats they will stole money from their own people this is democracy 😁🤣
By 1989 Gorbachev had been in power for 4 years and the TV was full of shows promoting reforms. I think you have to go back to Stalin times to find anything like we have now.
It's about when you've invested in a bad relationship and you've sunk too much into it to call it quits. Parents want to make the death of their sons meaningful by pulling out a win but it's just a waste of life.
Yes, this is understandable, but if the war gets to the point where all those sacrifices look like they are only producing a real defeat, everything will change.
Let's hope so. We don't want to occupy or destroy Russia, There could be a lot more to gain in the future from cooperation in a lot of fields. We just want them to stop trying to take over and controlling their neighbors against their wills. Life was more pleasant in the west when we were barely aware of russia except for its space program and the space station Which we admired very much.
I believe it is really about these mothers and women not wanting their sons to die in vain or their husbands or fathers. And that their deaths helped gain a victory for something not a loss- hence more support of Putin and the war- so their child’s death, their husband’s death, their father’s death has a greater purpose and meaning. Big aspect missed in this reporting
US government is sending again heavy and special weapons to Ukraine but didn’t tell us how much it was? Soon they will take American’s bank account money! Watch it happens !! It’s happened in South America President Color de Melo took the people’s money from theirs bank account and after 10 years they pay it back devalued !! President Color de Melo did it in South America
Yes. But also, Russians tend to be quite petty. A mother who loses her son wants other mothers to lose their sons, too. Why should she have to suffer alone? Russians still think like peasants. That is the big thing that makes them different from Ukrainians.
I think they are supporting in revenge for their loss. They are brainwashed by Putin's propaganda. They are not seeing what the world wants and that is to stop the war.
What also needs to be taken into account is those soldiers sent to the meat grinder that eventually comes back home. Possibly injured. And what they and their families will say. Although loosing most of the troops sent to the frontline might actually be a strategy for putin. Then they will become martyrs instead of costly and complaining war-sick veterans. Would be interesting to know how many and how often non-injured russian troops are rotated… I.e. sent home to family after a “tour”. Also… When putin can’t manage to mostly draft men from the “countryside”/smaller towns away from Moscow, but will have to draft more and more Muscovites and men from St Petersburg, the response likely won’t be as positive.
So true but it's been the Russian solders that have committed the atrocities, murdering civilians raping and murdering women and girls, when this war started I felt for the Russian solders that had no choice in going to war,were even lied to about where they were going,not any more I don't feel sorry for them. Long live Ukraine.
It may be explained by a phenomenon called “cognitive dossonance’, in which psychological stress (the dissonance) basically is relieved through justification of the cause of the stress. I.e. if you paid too much for something, you make it special to justify the price paid. In this case, the pain of the loss is relieved by justification of the war, otherwise the death of the loved one, the price paid, has been for nothing.
It's basically just an extension of good old russian Vranyo; nothing changed in their mindset really. Vatniks will keep licking up the bloody stains from the floor that papa Putler left for them.
So to put it simply it’s difficult to face the truth and accept the fact that Russians are dying for nothing. Personally I wouldn’t believe anything that comes out of a dictator country. Citizens are brainwashed and therefore can’t express their opinions.

"Shocking" it could be only for Westerners. For those who knows the way Russians perceive the world it's not a surprise. In my native Bulgaria there is a popular expression dating back in the soviet era that "Russian" is moreover a diagnosis rather than a nationality.

This war harms Ukraine, Russia and Europe. USA the only beneficiary from this war. That is why USA was blocking execution of Minsk agreements for last 9 years. And they blocked negotiotaions between Ukraine and Russia in march of 2022. The war could be stopped year ago. But USA said to Ukraine elite that they must continue this war and fiht till last ukrainian. Otherwise usa will freeze all their money in west banks.
Maybe impossible to forget but easy to twist. At the 23 February rally they claimed Russia fought in WW2 against the "collective West". Russians are dumb as logs.
a couple of points. First, reporting the opinion of dead soldiers' mothers is incomplete, although it's significant. We also should know what others think, especially those mothers who may be forced to send their sons to war. Second, those mothers probably tend to accept the idea that their sons died for a good cause rather than aggression. Third, if the more loss would mean greater support, why Putin didn't disclose a larger number? Looks like even he didn't believe this reporter's story.
Much of polling results are highly dependent upon the phrasing of the question. “Do you feel proud that your husband/son answered Putins call to go to war for Russia?” “Do you angry that your husband/son answered Putins call to go to war for Russia?”

And we have a plethora of people like that nowadays; denying that this has to be stopped; sooner, rather then later! Most of them still wearing the commie-red caps!
Wow, this sort of story is very important for people to share. Real world experience with the corruption of culture, how it happens.
I've been saying this even before 2022 - the "total war" narrative and "fortress Russia is under attack' are the same today. Putin learned from Goebbels.
If they don't toe the line they'll end up pushing up daises. Wouldn't you?
How did man get this far thats the big question here .
When Adam & Eve were thrown out of the garden & God cursed Mankind & the Earth . You know how the story of humanity ends don't you?
Once you sacrifice something for a belief system, your need to believe increases to justify the sacrifice.
That's because the ones that don't support the war have left and the some of ones who didn't leave are afraid to be called out and arrested.
In Ukraine right?
@@hassandzimba3048 Russian proxis always have to chime in.🤦Putins lap dogs
Lol. You must know a lot of Russians. So silly
People understandably don't want their loved ones' deaths to be in vain, but they also have no idea the true extent of the losses and what is actually going on.
In some small towns villages they have 50, 60 new graves. They understand the true extend.
That is true. Most are just "lost without a trace" - left in the fields, in Ukrainian refrigerated wagons or destroyed in mobile crematorias.
@@lbb101 Yet they still back Putin, Russian people have been cut off from the out side world they are getting lies rammed down their throats and they are buying it! just how bright are they?
I witnessed the coverup of a negligent manslaughter while serving in the Iraq War on the #USSPrinceton. Look up Robert Macrum and you'll read about his "mysterious" death. Nobody wanted to admit that their negligence killed him, so they just made him "missing in action" and then smeared his widow when she expected the life insurance. That same command covered up one other death and 2 (or more) sxl aslts on that deployment.

very insightful
My question - Out of the people she has polled, how many are biting their tongue?
Just watch clips from Russian TV from 1989. Shortly before the whole system collapsed. They sounded identical to the current propaganda.
@ FritzSchober just watch American’s government take American’s money from theirs bank account!
Americans leaders are too Arrogants when they realized they are broke they are not like Russia 🇷🇺 they are 🐀🧟♀️Our leaders are a rats they will stole money from their own people this is democracy 😁🤣
By 1989 Gorbachev had been in power for 4 years and the TV was full of shows promoting reforms. I think you have to go back to Stalin times to find anything like we have now.
True. Also support for WWI as late as 1916.
It's about when you've invested in a bad relationship and you've sunk too much into it to call it quits. Parents want to make the death of their sons meaningful by pulling out a win but it's just a waste of life.
Not if the "win" means permanently stopping a man hell-bent for supreme power!
@@aaronthenorm5400 that’s Putin and he already has supreme power in Russia lol
You had a crappy day, didn't you?
@@zarkojokic8823 LOL nope, just calling it as it is
The Russian troops all die with dishonor.
Yes, this is understandable, but if the war gets to the point where all those sacrifices look like they are only producing a real defeat, everything will change.
At this point we all need (including russians people) to defeat Russia.
Let's hope so. We don't want to occupy or destroy Russia, There could be a lot more to gain in the future from cooperation in a lot of fields. We just want them to stop trying to take over and controlling their neighbors against their wills. Life was more pleasant in the west when we were barely aware of russia except for its space program and the space station Which we admired very much.
Where can I find putin saying that the war should not last much longer then 3 days?
I predicted this months ago. It's the same lie every time: "Let their deaths not be in vain!"
I think the shift toward Putin is a mirage: it’s due to liberal people fleeing…
I believe it is really about these mothers and women not wanting their sons to die in vain or their husbands or fathers. And that their deaths helped gain a victory for something not a loss- hence more support of Putin and the war- so their child’s death, their husband’s death, their father’s death has a greater purpose and meaning. Big aspect missed in this reporting
US government is sending again heavy and special weapons to Ukraine but didn’t tell us how much it was? Soon they will take American’s bank account money! Watch it happens !! It’s happened in South America President Color de Melo took the people’s money from theirs bank account and after 10 years they pay it back devalued !! President Color de Melo did it in South America
Yes. But also, Russians tend to be quite petty. A mother who loses her son wants other mothers to lose their sons, too. Why should she have to suffer alone? Russians still think like peasants. That is the big thing that makes them different from Ukrainians.
I think they are supporting in revenge for their loss. They are brainwashed by Putin's propaganda. They are not seeing what the world wants and that is to stop the war.
@@vasso6131 When their fathers, husbands, sons, brothers and uncles die in this war? It becomes their war.
What also needs to be taken into account is those soldiers sent to the meat grinder that eventually comes back home. Possibly injured. And what they and their families will say. Although loosing most of the troops sent to the frontline might actually be a strategy for putin. Then they will become martyrs instead of costly and complaining war-sick veterans.
Would be interesting to know how many and how often non-injured russian troops are rotated… I.e. sent home to family after a “tour”.
Also… When putin can’t manage to mostly draft men from the “countryside”/smaller towns away from Moscow, but will have to draft more and more Muscovites and men from St Petersburg, the response likely won’t be as positive.
I think there’s a good reason they aren’t going to go against the war when a camera is shoved in their face.
This is atrocious for the families of the dead soldiers that was forced into a war that was caused by a man who only cares for himself.
All wars are caused by a small group of people.
So true but it's been the Russian solders that have committed the atrocities, murdering civilians raping and murdering women and girls, when this war started I felt for the Russian solders that had no choice in going to war,were even lied to about where they were going,not any more I don't feel sorry for them.
Long live Ukraine.
*Long Live Ukraine!!*
😂😂😂 we are sacrificing Ukraine for the globalist gain.
@mike jones Agree ! Zionist have been terrorizing Palestinians for years, but they are not White or Christian enough to get liberal support.
It may be explained by a phenomenon called “cognitive dossonance’, in which psychological stress (the dissonance) basically is relieved through justification of the cause of the stress. I.e. if you paid too much for something, you make it special to justify the price paid.
In this case, the pain of the loss is relieved by justification of the war, otherwise the death of the loved one, the price paid, has been for nothing.
It's basically just an extension of good old russian Vranyo; nothing changed in their mindset really. Vatniks will keep licking up the bloody stains from the floor that papa Putler left for them.
So to put it simply it’s difficult to face the truth and accept the fact that Russians are dying for nothing. Personally I wouldn’t believe anything that comes out of a dictator country. Citizens are brainwashed and therefore can’t express their opinions.

Then why don't they do full mobilization?
Why should we? 3\4 of mobilized troops are still far from frontlines, training for summer offensive. No need for mobilization.

200,000 is complete BS.
"Shocking" it could be only for Westerners. For those who knows the way Russians perceive the world it's not a surprise. In my native Bulgaria there is a popular expression dating back in the soviet era that "Russian" is moreover a diagnosis rather than a nationality.
How a population can be so submissive and unnecessarily suffer so much from the government's horrible actions?! It's a Stockholm syndrome situation I guess...
No it's not, we saw the same thing happen in Nazi Germany as well.
Sadly many Bulgarians support Russia 😞
@@jonknestrick5219 Russians are slaves by nature. This mentality is a part of their DNA. Another key element is, you know, the narrative that the entire world is against Russia, so they are obligated to take extreme measures to protect themselves. And all other bullshit of this kind. For example that Westerners are a bunch of egoistic materialists and Russians are so spiritual and human.

@@harrisonhonda3745 Do you think everyone studies war history? This isn't common knowledge. It's actually a pretty advance look into wars that most never bother to get too.
Not sure why you added in Vietnam. That literally lost support, because of the combination of body bags returning home and live footage of what war was really like.
It's the one single example that doesn't fit what you're talkin about.

This is a well known Slavic phenomena and it goes like:
1. A Russian assaults you in the streets and you beat him in a fist fight.
2. The day after, he will show up at you door with all his brothers.

She's spot on and brave.
Most welcome. Keep watching.
Stunning and brave 👏
I believe this error of logic the Russians are falling into is referred to the "sunk cost fallacy" or at least partially.
It's quite normal for any population to want revenge for the death of loved ones.
Wars are easy to start, difficult to end and impossible to forget. If this sentence is forgotten, history repeats itself.
This war harms Ukraine, Russia and Europe. USA the only beneficiary from this war. That is why USA was blocking execution of Minsk agreements for last 9 years. And they blocked negotiotaions between Ukraine and Russia in march of 2022. The war could be stopped year ago. But USA said to Ukraine elite that they must continue this war and fiht till last ukrainian. Otherwise usa will freeze all their money in west banks.
Maybe impossible to forget but easy to twist. At the 23 February rally they claimed Russia fought in WW2 against the "collective West". Russians are dumb as logs.
Bullshit youare saying.
a couple of points. First, reporting the opinion of dead soldiers' mothers is incomplete, although it's significant. We also should know what others think, especially those mothers who may be forced to send their sons to war. Second, those mothers probably tend to accept the idea that their sons died for a good cause rather than aggression. Third, if the more loss would mean greater support, why Putin didn't disclose a larger number? Looks like even he didn't believe this reporter's story.
Much of polling results are highly dependent upon the phrasing of the question.
“Do you feel proud that your husband/son answered Putins call to go to war for Russia?”
“Do you angry that your husband/son answered Putins call to go to war for Russia?”
It is spiritual, things which used to be shameful today it is celebrated,so do not be surprised.
