I don’t think the Lithuanians would surrender, to the cost of getting their cities destroyed. With the Soviet occupation in the 1940-50s they had a large part of population deported to Siberia until the fall of the Soviet Union. Lithuanians, Latvians and Estonians have not forgotten.
@@johnreinhart22 the thing is, even with all that they would need the Chinese to start something big in the Pacific for it to matter. There's a reason they suck so bad. They were on the path to becoming like what they are in this series, and then the U.S started a series of sanctions under Obama and they're gone from a problem filled country rampant corruption and still a decently strong military, to being overrun by corruption so much that they can't even function as a competent military force. A new leader can fix the corruption, but they're out of money and without China they have no real shot of ever doing anything major.
@@extraordinarytv5451 in these series they're in kahoots. I'm pretty sure Europe is just an opener in this phase to keep NATO pinned down and unable to react quickly in the Pacific
@@nobstompah4850 I remember he said that but I haven't seen them do anything yet. And it's been what? A couple weeks of war. I don't think even with the new leadership Russia could put on enough pressure after two weeks, even one is iffy. China would have to try something first or they would have to be right on the Russians heels. China has the numbers and situation for a massive, devastating surprise attack. The cold war has left so much stacked against Russia that even without their economic failures they would be hard pressed to get a huge devastating surprise attack that could really take off pressure.
@@extraordinarytv5451 I'm not willing to discount this (in the video) scenario, especially considering recent strategic ineptitude. The opening salvo in the first view videos are largely why we are here now: a fixed, untested force (NATO) which itself had not been expecting the attack, vs. a fresh Russian army that has largely purged its rot and revitalized its military. Furthermore, NATO regional command in the Baltics was eliminated after a commander neglected SIGINT security (very likely), and got his entire staff killed, leaving the force headless. Couple this with the fact they invaded multiple countries, and are apparently bracketing the Polish border, it's very likely that the Baltics, a nation already regarded strategically as a "speedbump" would collapse in a few weeks without reinforcements. Invaders almost always have a first-strike advantage, and Russia's Ukraine gambit could have paid off if their logistics had not failed them, had their forces been more (mentally) ready, and had Kyiv's forces been more rigid/hardened in their defense, causing them to suffer massive losses, as opposed to their more liquid, unconventional defense.
Is sergeant Artūras Šimonytė a transgender? First name is an ordinary male name, but the last name is of a non-married female. In Lithuania a male would be called Šimonis, his wife Šimoniene, daughter Šimonytė
@@Zul_H the sad part is we may be watching the beginnings of this in the Russia Ukraine war. I view that war as something similar to the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s where a lot of the European powers sent their new weapons to be tested and then they were used in World War II

This is better story telling than Hollywood can dream of! A true edge of your seat experience! I'm so glad I found this channel when you dropped episode 1 ! Here for it all.
Artūras Šimonytė🤣🤣🤣What an idiocy to name a guy with a female form of the last name an unmarried woman. It was impossible to watch the rest, couldn't stop laughing🤣🤣🤣
*TRULY AMAZING&* A Gripping Series!! I Really Hope you get An Award For All the work & research to even TRY and put this all together But you pull it off Every episode!! Your not only a really good writer , but researcher & graphics editing & Sound!! Can't wait for the next one!!
@@flatcirclehistory Also you should consider to add a 1938 “War of the Worlds” interruption to the broadcast to clarify frequently that this is fiction. Or is it not?
Outstanding. Cannot praise you enough for this superb Channel. Can’t wait for the next episode. There are moments that give me profound chills. Thank you all for your fine work and Dedication.
Every episode has been just thrilling to watch. Thank you very much for the time and effort put in, I look forward to every notification for a new episode.
Outstanding John, I have been following this series and you are doing an excellent job of story telling. It also has a strong sense of knowledge. Well done.
Another absolute banger!! You've really got something here John! I hope this blows up even bigger for you! I could only imagine how this would look as a live action series!! 10 out of 10, would buy the box set! He'll, I'd buy the box set as it currently stands! Love this so much! Please keep up the great work!
I have watched the movie Red Dawn, and read the book by Tom Clancy 'Red Storm Rising' and this series is already more interesting than both of those or in fact any world war 3 scenario I have watched or read about for that matter. This series deserves more attention and I hope there are people in NATO, preferably those higher up, who watch this series and pass it on to others because this is the most realistic portrayal of what a Russian invasion of Europe could look like. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for yet another thrilling episode. Its as well written as a book and the visuals are extremely well edited, making a great series. This is Red Storm Rising mated with Operation Flashpoint and the outcome is better than the sum of its parts. Keep it up, cant wait for the next part.
Tom Clancy would be proud. What a great effort - massive kudos from me for this excellent series - particularly like the absence of backing music and just the occasional menacing synthesised riff - super!
Lithuania would not surrender 🙏 As a Lithuanian soldier I can say we are the green devils. Since the Pagan times.

Yes, Lithuania never been in soviet union, we was occupied by soviet union. Fuck ruzzia
The Russians in this story appear to be more competent than they are in Ukraine.
I think the first episode talks about them getting bloody in the Ukraine and modernizing their military under new leadership

This Channel should receive awards for its story telling!
..although should not receive awards for deleting comments

Screw awards. Give them $$money$$ so they can up the staff and put out episodes faster!
This should be a movie
hopefully it going to be an epic movie

Without a doubt.
