      @@SiliconCurtain Jonathan, 5:31 russia has confirmed the Norks' presence. I'm 100% sure I saw Putin himself say it: _"I confirm that there are 12,000 North Korean troops in the Kursk region, stationed near the combat zone."_ I'm quite sure it was in his 19th Dec. "End of the year" conference just before Xmas. [Edit] Thanks for all your hard work. B.t.w. There's a brand new YT channel, "Liber Ukraine", a Ukrainian IT and fundraiser fellow that just joined the military to fight on the front. I think he'll work with drones.

    Well said. Every time Ukraine is supposed to be on the ropes they seem to very much not and a lot of journalists still do not seem to understand Ukrainian strategy. I saw this coming, as did anyone who really watches for the signs. They have been attacking the Russian supply & command system for months. Rather than use up resources defending every field, they hold with as minimal force as possible while building a reserve. Russians by comparison constantly attack everywhere which wastes their combat power, and they then draw from new recruits for big offensives which usually fail.

    • @number1neek
      @number1neek День назад

      The question is: what will this ultimately achieve? Russia will just take it back. It's not like as soon as Trump comes into office then suddenly the negotiations will start. And Russia is not in a rush to negotiate since they know the reality on the ground and the balance of power is vastly in their favour. I guess the only purpose it serves is as a PR exercise which this channel is more than happy to lap up. The sad thing is that many more Ukrainians will die than if they hadn't gone on this offensive and this will ultimately achieve nothing

      DW hasn't been so much towing their line as stubbornly reporting and analyzing in the 1980's style and using sensational and misleading headlines. That isn't as much of a problem with other news, and I love some of their reporting - they had very good analyses of the situation in Syria. They're good at explaining complex issues. But they haven't grasped the fast-changing character of the war in Ukraine, so they end up harming it.

      @@SiliconCurtain edbaker is somewhat correct. The Soviets new about Operation Citadel (the German Kursk offensive) from their Lucy spy ring in Switzerland, but got it confirmed by their double agent John Cairncross, who worked at Bletchley Park, which also had information on the coming operation, and Cairncross passed the information on to Stalin. I don't think Bletchley Park themselves willingly gave the Soviets the information.

    My understanding is that as with Russia at the start of the criminal War of Aggression #aggressive_war of Ukraine by Russia that is still ongoing upon in East Ukraine but apparently soon about to be repulsed possibly thrown back there as well Ukraine started the 2022-present War with many thousands of Main Battle Tanks #mbt none of which as of yet have appeared upon in the Battle Space Ukraine. Presumably with the arrival now of French fighter bombers along with existing US made #f_16_fighter this has now changed. USA Cold War strategy was always to equal but never surpass the USSR at every turn and insodoing open the way for negotiations which was obviously highly effective *"ultimately."* Why then after ahem Russia was "invaded" by Ukraine Russia didn't simply dig in and reinforce the area for a possible defensive battle themselves as clearly Ukraine was doing after the successful July August tactical and strategic surprise Kursk attack I have no idea but predictably Russia instead launched a massive counter attack that has lasted many Months all for almost no "regain" if that be a word and proving to me anyways that this War is a complete disaster for Russia now at *EVERY* level this being a very aggressive attack by Ukraine into an area Russia said they would take back wholly and completely by February 2025 instead now Russia finds itself being attacked and invaded again #kursk_battle_ww2 so this is very well known ground and yet again may prove to be a place where a truly massive battle unfolds greater than already has of course as this Battle has been raging away August, 2024 to present. Rumors that Iran may invade Azerbaijan or even Turkey starting to suddenly appear as well so quite the World War 3 going on over there fully affirmed here today tonight Sunday January 5 2025 😊😊

    Please fix your audience-harming technical problems.
    Your audio quality is terrible because it sounds like "THE ROOM" instead of your voice, and your delivery is both monotone and whisper quiet. This makes the bad room echo louder than your actual words. Speak louder and like a normal person having a TALK instead of reciting a script like a robot, so you can TURN DOWN the pre-amp so the room silence can't be heard anymore, and it won't drown out your voice.
    The horrid blurry background HURTS my brain to watch, because it physically makes the brain think it's been POISONED, since the SEVERE discrepancy between the sharp view and background makes the limbic brain think my eyes have been damaged somehow. Drop the bad chroma-key effect! Just use a real curtain or something, anything else that's REAL.
