"We Will Have To Fight Russia" British Colonel Predicts Chilling End To Ukraine Conflict
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2024
- The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has reached a critical point, with both sides locked in a fierce battle amid a harsh winter. Former British Army Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon sheds light on the situation, highlighting the static fighting, precision-guided artillery strikes, and attacks on civilian infrastructure.
As the world's attention is diverted elsewhere, de Breton-Gordon emphasizes the importance of Western countries, particularly the UK and NATO, maintaining their focus on Ukraine to avoid a potential war with Russia. The recent escalation in attacks raises concerns about the future and the possibility of Western allies sending troops to Ukraine.
In the past week, Russia has intensified its attacks on Ukraine, prompting a swift response from Ukrainian forces. De Breton-Gordon explains that Russia had been stockpiling precision-guided drones and missiles, which they are now unleashing in an attempt to force Ukraine's hand.
Despite Ukraine's effective air defence, Russia sees an opportunity for victory and is throwing everything it has into the conflict. With Ukraine barely hanging on, President Zelensky urgently requests more ammunition and air defence missiles. The upcoming elections in Western countries also add to the complexity, as politicians may reconsider their support for Ukraine.

How can Europe put troops in Ukraine if they can't provide ammunition now?
You don't seem to get that European countries just provide ammos that reached shelf-time and near only cold war era gear!
You underestimate the European countries, Germany lost WW1 and was on its knees and in less than 20 years it started, WW2 stronger than it was . And don't forget that almost all of the Russian weapons technology was stolen from Germany
@@harounel-poussah6936
Nonsense.
Britain just admitted to completely depleting all of their surplus ammunition.
They have nothing left to support any type of military intervention.
Who says that they CAN'T provide the ammunition, all they have stated is that they WON'T provide the ammunition!
@@harounel-poussah6936 No man 155 mm shells or any ammo for modern equipment is from the stocks or production of Nato.
This guy was telling us Ukraine was winning 6 months ago. He is part of the problem too.
That is a pretty long stretch from goalpost "Ukraine will win Russia and Putin will be brouht to Hague." to me. Also like the casualties and narrative is well and deeply biased.
Pointless war and idiotic politicians fault.
Wef puppet in action
Russia never advanced anywhere for like 8 months straight except towards Moscow. If Ukraine had 10% of what Russia had they would have won this war long ago. They have destroyed 75% of Russia's arsenal and caused 350 thousand Russian casualties. Unfortunately NATO doesn't want Russia to lose because if they lose outright it would mean regime change and they are afraid who may come after Putin or afraid he may launch nukes. They should have been all in from day 1. Putin wouldn't have invaded if NATO built up troops on the border from day 1
@@mikejones6065 or worse China would overtale Russia. This is deep hate and enmity that is going on, Russia knows that nukes would be end of the game, but if they partner/surrender with China and 200M troops march from the East, then it power shifts significantly between nato and russia

@@pieman9 what has escaped your attention is the Russian Defence Doctrine which is making nuclear war eligible once they have "no chance of beating" an enemy.
Europe is more united than ever, It's also weaker than ever.
"...It's also weaker than ever."
I do not believe that. Economically we are much stronger. And even militarily speaking, countries like the UK and France can deal with Russia on the conventional level, Ukraine shows us right now because they are holding back Russia with a much smaller force.
I don't see it that way, much of Europe is re-arming. There are armaments factories curently being built.

Those who advocate war need to be on the front line. Especially if they think they are right. Let’s see the courage of your convictions.
These are the words of an ostrich. Back in the real word, with heads out of the sand, far from all wars are wars of choice to every participant. Often the only choices are (i) war now vs. (ii) war tomorrow vs. (iii) subjugation and destruction of ones life. Therefore, every human being on the planet except a _tiny_ minority of very extreme pacifists "advocates war" in certain imaginable and possible situations. Yet if/when the war happens, they can't all be "on the front line" as wars are not fought on the front line only. An unsupported front line is an intrinsically absurd concept. Wars are resource hungry undertakings. Who supplies the resources to those on the front line?
Why is poo-tin not on the frontline then? You need to preach to him!
War comes to you anyway, if no one stops it where it happens.
@@eng.makolal1367 exactly. Bunker boy stays home and sends thousands to die.
Has any politicians on both sides experienced war like in trenches, cold, hot, bad food & water, butt and groin rashes, lice, etc. Worse is loosing eyes, painful burns, etc. Gunshot to abdomen may not kill instantly, tear up intestines, liver, pancreas, etc. Slow painful death… rotting away… if surgery, belly can not be closed and stays open.
NATO and Ukraine need to face reality. They thought economic sanctions would collapse Russia. They got all the oil and gas, cola minerals they need. Babushka and Ivan in Urals plant their own rows of potatoes, beetroots, onions, plus chickens… store in jars in basement. Get stuff from China sac cross the border. What sanctions?

In the end Russia cannot win this war. NATO will never allow it 😊
The krem-bots are here! 😆
NATO fighting Russia will not end the war.... Poor analysis Sir.
It will get Russia out of Ukraine after which Tsar Putrid if he survives the turmoil that will bring to the Russian defenstration programme will have to make a whole new decision on how to save face. I doubt NATO troops will be ordered into Russia unless Russia does something very dangerous and stupid.
Why wouldn’t it?
This guy brings the phrase 'the first casualty of war is truth' to another level.
Yes, you're right on target there. Too many talking heads, not much value.
Russia means no harm. As Lavrov recently said at a conference in Asia, Ukraine invaded Russia, the Russians did not want this, did they? Besides, Russia is only 'bashing the fash' and, in any case, there is no such thing as Ukraine. Never was, right? "Ukrainian identity doesn't exist and never had", Dmitry Medvedev
@@user-yl1xy5eg7b And do you think the US regime actually cares about the fate of their latest proxy warrior, other than to make a hefty profit and give their 'enemy' a bruise?

@pragmaticskepticthe most maddening thing is they really think we are THAT dumb. Their arogance knows no bounds.
This British colonel has contradicted himself several times.
Like many Western military commanders, political correctness is more important than objective reality.
Western military manufacturing capacity is less now than it was in WW2.
The WW2 bankrupted the British empire...it had a debt of 240% of the GDP...it had to hand over all gold reserves to the USA to avoid sinking...The cold war era then bounced back the economy somewhat ...but after the financial crisis every body wants to rich on printed/speculative money and nobody spends on real assets....
Britain is unable to defend itself from some "fake-refugees on dinghies"...never mind against a real army-powered resilient and tough and rough forged Russia...
of course it is less and you know why? because they were at war in ww2, unlike the following years, there was no point to manufacture weapons in masses up till now.
He’s utterly delusional 😂
Because artillery is only useful if you don´t have air superiority, since NATO has, it stopped relying so much on artillery, this is why production has decreased. Ukraine is fighting in a WW1 scenario.
@@PaulojnPereira there is no evidence that NATO and / or Ukraine is exercising any degree of air superiority ?
British colonel predicts "We will have to fight Russia". Question, WHY?
'We' is he.

@@shelonnik274 kalingrad
How does he think that putting NATO troops in Ukraine would not invoke an armed response from Russia on NATO countries?
Because Russia does not have the forces or armor to do anything more than they are. DUH
If NATO troops went into battle with Russia, since the Russians are clinging desperately to their much vaunted Surovikin Line, {RIP Suroovikin} that was built to protect the Russians from the Ukrainians, I really believe that the last thing on the minds of the Russians will be to raise an armed response from Russia on any other NATO countries. They will be trying to cover their a$$3s from the buck-shot as they flee back to their own borders.
Consider Russia's real capacity.
Russian T-14 Amata Tanks.
"According to TASS on August 22, 2023, sources within the military-industrial complex confirmed that the T-14 Armata tank will finally enter into its finalization phase, which is the process of completing or perfecting the development, design, and production of a vehicle to render it prepared for operational deployment."
{Note: "The T-14 was first unveiled in 2015. The Kremlin ordered production of 2,300 of the tanks by 2020, but this was later stretched to 2025, according to Russian media reports." There have been about two dozen built to date. (Jan 2024)}
"A total of 2,300 MBTs expected to be supplied by 2020, modernizing 70 percent of the Russian tank fleet. The Uralvagonzavod plant was expected to roll out around 500 T-14 Armata tanks per year. In 2017, the order was scaled back to a test batch of 100 tanks by 2020, with the program extended to 2025."
"In January, British military intelligence reported Russian forces in Ukraine were reluctant to accept the first tranche of the tanks because of their “poor condition”.
{Having to be towed from Red Square during a parade would, presumably, not have enhanced its reputation.}
"It also said any deployment of the T-14 would likely be “a high-risk decision” for Russia and one taken primarily for propaganda purposes.
“Production is probably only in the low tens while commanders are unlikely to trust the vehicle in combat,” the British military said.
“Eleven years in development, the programme has been dogged with delays, reduction in planned fleet size, and reports of manufacturing problems.”
"The T-14 was first unveiled in 2015. The Kremlin ordered production of 2,300 of the tanks by 2020, but this was later stretched to 2025, according to Russian media reports."
Apparently, there are still only a few dozen that have been produced.
"To address various problems, Russia also decided to restart the production of the T-80 combat tank {first produced in 1980}, a Soviet-era model, mainly due to its performance in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The T-80 has shown certain capabilities useful for the Russian Armed Forces, offering valuable insights into their potential usefulness. They have also introduced a new variant of this, the T-80BVM in 2023."
{Is it possible that the lack of availability of electronics, chips and other components, previously supplied by "Free World" {West aligned} sources have influenced the decision to revert to the T-80 tank variant ? I believe that may be so.}

India Takes a Step Away from the Russian Defense Industry Matthew Stein
Abstract
India and Russia have had a long-standing security cooperation partnership, with India relying heavily on Russian weapons and equipment for its armed forces. However, Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi launched the Make in India initiative in 2014 {interesting year date} to develop the country’s defense industry and reduce dependence on imports. The war in Ukraine has caused India to accelerate this process and end negotiations or cancel agreements with Russia on several weapon system acquisitions. Indian officials cited Russia’s logistical problems in delivering new systems as the reason for the cancellations. This article examines how the conflict in Ukraine has impacted one of Russia’s key security cooperation partnerships and how India’s defense industry is developing to produce replacements for these systems. The study provides insights into the challenges and opportunities for India to achieve its goal of self-reliance in defense production.
The End.
That is why NATO exists, to protect its countries. There is no choice. This is why Ukraine needs to win.
russia can’t even beat Ukraine, they have no chance against NATO

I guess our pampered youth are in for a massive shock, instead of just having a Ukrainian flag in their bio they can actually go and show their solidarity first hand
You won’t enjoy it.
Lets face the facts here. Only ones flying the Flag of Ukraine is Government Buildings and the Media Propaganda Machine. Most of the UK are thinking why the hell are we involved in this Farce.
I am in my 50s and if I had the skills and experience to be useful there, and didn't have 2 still at home to raise, I'd go. American youth, both pampered and not, rose to the challenge in WWII. The Pacific and Atlantic Oceans weren't going to protect us then and wouldn't now if things broke bad. It is beyond shameful that now we can't even muster the consensus to provide military aid (much of the funding actually helps us employ our own to build up a more modern weaponry for ourselves while we send our old military stock to Ukraine). We aren't being asked to go or send our young, only help Ukrainians fight to preserve the order we set up after WWII., freedom and supporting democracy..and we won't help defend it with material support this year. That's shameful and cowardly and absurd. There is a cost to doing something, yes, but there is also a cost to not doing it. The cost of not pushing back against Putin can eventually be American lives, both pampered and not....like WWII. Speaker Johnson is a disgrace.
I guess the youth would respond generously as they did in previous generations,
Not sure why you would gloat about this.
You silly Billy
I guarantee nobody will like it if or when war is declared. War is absolutely the worst endeavor of mankind. The word "war" is always spelled in blood and its definition is "death."

Colonel we understand your frustration from the loss of the Empire, but you can not reverse history unless you suffer from the Cervantes syndrome which borders the ludicrous. And since you want to prove your valour again, the place to start is the front line; so let us see some action before you disappear into the sunset.
This makes me sick!! This guy is off with the fairys.
In 1990 the british army had 600 MBT. now 140.
160,000 soldiers, now 70,000.(mostly administrative)
1990 navy had 65 effective fighting surface ships, now, 18 mostly unserviceable ships. RAF Had 700 effective combat aircraft, now. 123 combat aircraft (no ground attack /bombers). Our armed forces are a sick joke. The sas abs marimes paras all excellent but are only small in numbers. Also we've just scrapped all their reliable hurcules transport. They now have dodgy A 400
This Is enough for the English if they do not want to attack small country thousand miles away
This guy should have won Warmonger of the Year award for his contribution to endless war
Really "STUPID" and utterly "IGNORANT!!!"
Ukraine, didn't start this war, Putin did!
What part of Russia is a "dictatorship" do too many people not understand?
'Dictatorships...' don't even allow their own people to speak out, or know the truth!
So why on earth would think for a moment they would tell "you" the truth?
If a Russian person even calls this a 'war...' they can face upwards of "10 years" or more in jail, or worse be murdered by the regime. Putin has said this 'war...' has to be called a "special military operation."
Russian soldiers are brutalised, lied to and tortured by their own government. The families how lose loved ones, few get the death payments promised them, and soldiers themselves are left often with no pay or weapons with substandard equipment, which left many to freeze to death in winter.
There are no free fair elections in Russia under Putin - all free media and political opposition has been shut down, journalists, politicians and ordinary people - imprisoned or murdered!
Many have been taken in by Russian disinformation: by the way it was Russia under Stalin and the KGB in 1923 which arrived at the concept and coined the word 'disinformation!' They even gave it a Western sounding name, so we would more easily adopt it... so that worked?
Putin has murdered "100 000s" of people in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, Moldova, Belarus and Ukraine and elsewhere in the world.
Syria, was a people's uprising as a result of the Arab Spring, which began in Tunisia in 2010, as a result Assad slaughtered peaceful protesters with gunships. The people fought bravely for years, but when Damascus was about to fall, Assad called in Putin. Assad and Putin then murdered "100 000s" of people, dropping bombs on children in their schools, burning them alive!
In Russia itself, if people even call the Ukraine Russia War, a "war..." they can face up to "10 years" in jail, or if someone is a high profile politician or public figure, then can be imprisoned or even murdered.
A recent UN stated the in a terror campaign orchestrated by Putin... "children" as young as '4' years old are being tortured and raped.
We must act to stop this, and support the people of Ukraine to ensure this ends... in defeating the Putin Regime this could be a turning corner for humanity, in our search to end war, and all injustice?
And in this day and age making warmonger of the year is quite an accomplishment. Lots of competition.
As I said to someone who applied to you:
Your ignorance is "shocking" and to be honest... I don't think you care a jot about the people, you're just showing off on an anti-West ego trip!?
Tell us Robert, how many countries has Putin invaded?
Tell us how much of Georgia and Moldova Russia still occupies?
Tell us of the "100 000s" of people Putin killed in Syria alone, along with Assad?
Tell us of the napalm Putin dropped on children in their schools... burning them alive?
Or in Georgia, women who had their eyes gauged out, and breasts cut off when they were alive I think, before being shot?

No. Because they are shills for the Military Industrial Complex.

Diplomatic solutions are to be found in Russia completely withdrawing, otherwise it's useless.
They may all wish for it but Tsar Putrid cannot do anything other than press ahead - he's painted himself into a corner. If he becomes diplomatic he also becomes airborne defenestratively.

The shocking geopolitical ignorance of some of these military analysts sometimes makes me alternatively laugh and roll my eyes.... NATO committing troops on the ground? That's an insane statement. No country will do that. Putin will not stop there? Another ridiculous statement. When has Russia ever had any other concern than its own immediate sphere of influence?
question is what Putin thinks is the size its own immediate sphere of influence... back to the Russian empire??
@guywuytack7099 hmm, your question is a bit loaded, don't you think? There were many expansions. Do you mean the 1895 borders, which more or less were the largest extent? If yes, probably not. Putin has never indicated any firm intention of re-incorporating the Baltic countries, Byelorussia is a firm ally, the old Polish-Lithuaninan commonwealth is long gone, the modern Poland is a totally different entity both ethnically and geographically than it was at that time... As for Finland, they've gone their own way since before World War II, Putin and the Russians have never indicated they were interested in pursuing an invasion or conquest of the country. So, no, Russia is not interested in going back to that version of the Russian Empire.
Difficult to answer your question since goal posts seem to move all the time: started fighting nazis, then an old map was shown with no Ukraine, last week it was the West as enemy, not Ukraine.... one thing is constant: lies, lies, lies
@@guywuytack7099 hmm.... I don't think so. Do some geopolitical reading on post-cold war breakdown of the Soviet Union and Russian geopolitical strategy. It'll help you to understand better the Russian mentality and their national security policy.

The world needs to wake up to this.
You mean the world needs to be more propagandised about this...
The “world” aka nato needs to actually take action but are scared too
@@phillies842 What do you think scares them? WWIII? You can easily volunteer to fight the Russians if you wanted to but...demand others go die instead, right?
I suspect all European leaders are awake to it. There will be a lot of activity and anxiety playing out backstage, that we will never see. What we're told on the news is surface level stuff. In the US it's different, because they tend to look at things for a more local perspective and less global; what will this cost America? Is war in Europe really any of our business? etc..Plus they are more committed to helping Israel unconditionally and if it came to a choice between the two, then Israel would get all the money and support.

They say lots of things but nothing about negotiations, and peace. Perhaps better to get people like Jeffrey Sacks, Mearsheimer to give them lecture on "there is more than war for survival". The people of UK must put Boris on trial for scuttling the peace negotiations that were on the table.
Peace negotiations? You would not negotiate with the burglar stealing your stuff in the middle of the nighgt would you? Well think about it.
You are a comedian -
You should be on trial for credulousness. Here's a pointer, if the HinduPootin Times says it, it probably isn't true.
Perhaps negotiating with Hitler and Hirohito would have been a better alternative.......but I doubt it.
Oligarchs in Russia are not meddling into politics as US's or EU's Oligarchs (Newland, Pelosi, van der Leyen and so on). Also Russian oligarchs are making good collecting money, so they are not interesting in pushing Putin down....

I posted several comments half way through this guys screed. At that point I thought he was half crazy. I got through the whole thing and now know for certain that he is full blown crazy and should never again be asked to provide "expertise" to the public. Russia defeating Ukraine/NATO in this war is beyond what his head can handle.
Colonel Hamish is a Colonel Blink. He hopes to become Britain's future Field Marshal Douglas Haig! What funny substances Hamish have you been smoking in your pipe? Russia doesn't end in Moscow. It extends as far as the Pacific Ocean. Do you know that yet?

NOT OUR WAR!
Oh dear, the very retired warmonger de Bretton-Gordon with his degree in agriculture is trying to tell us we need to send troops into Ukraine. Thanks Hamish, next insane idea please.
Yeah, to him.soldiers are just vegetables and poultry.
Yes, "He attended Tonbridge School and has a degree in agriculture from the University of Reading (1987)."
Hamish de Bretton Gordon? This country is still classist and stuck in the past
Georgia in the 90s and 2008 (the latter saw 20% of the country forcefully taken and subsequently occupied in a week)
Crimean peninsula 2014 (forcefully taken and occupied in in a couple of months?)
Ukraine 2022 -
And someone says that Russia has no interest in territorial (overt or not) expansion.
Option A. don't do anything.
(We know that works out)
Option B. help out to ensure that the Ukraine remains in a sovereign state.
The British have a history of using Aussies as cannon fodder for their wars.
Hamish is clueless about military tactics, he amazes me with his naivety.
He probably watches the Black Adder WW1 TV series to pick up military ideas.
I am vexed listening to him, he is devoid of logic!

USA does not send much money 90% is spent in the states.
This is just ludicrous. The chickens are coming home to roost😂😂😂
You first
Peace is the solutions
It seems that in recent decades, also in the West, processes have taken place that have brought into military and political circles people who are apparently brought up on propaganda and therefore have a defective understanding of reality. Russia has at least proven that its soldiers can die in the thousands for what are extremely important geopolitical interests to it. Are NATO soldiers capable of this, who actually do not have the same interests and ties with Ukraine as Russia? What about experience in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and many other unfortunate conflicts? What didn't work there? Wouldn't it be easier for them in this case not to go to war, but to reelect their governments to more reasonable ones? And does this colonel really think that their armies will fight better than the Ukrainians for Ukraine? And does he really think that if NATO troops, due to their numbers, actually go to war with Russia, she will not use nuclear weapons against them, which, among other things, will turn them into the ruins of what they are now. And they would like to take this risk because "they think” that Russia will not stop at Ukraine??? Yes, much of the self-understanding and myths of many military men and politicians in the West would be destroyed, but this is not a reason to go crazy.
Colonel is a joke! Tell him to eat his bread and shower his hot water ans leave a war with Russia aside! He is out of his mind.
Of course the Ukrainians I know, as work colleagues here in UK, overflow with incessant enthusiasm about their "ties with Russia". It is of course these very "ties with Russia" which first induced them to travel west and seek employment in the UK. But then on reflection I suppose it's foolish of me to waste my time listening directly to Ukrainians talking what Ukrainians want and who Ukrainians have "ties with", when I could instead just ignore them and sit at the feet of the great Russian tsar and soak up the more authoritative second-hand information he relays to me about the minds and souls of Ukrainians.
Try to look for "privateer station" videos in connection to this question.
US top brass are almost as out of touch with reality as British top brass!
You have got it totally wrong. NATO depends on overwhelming superiority so its soldiers face far less risk than Russians. That has become abundantly clear.
The moment you said Russians are firing civilian / Ukrainian firing to military ... The video is ended for me :)))
100% correct but I assume he took money to spout this drivel.

The former British Army Colonel, knows full well, we cannot go to war, even with NATO Countries,we don't have enough troops, the British Army has been cut to the bone, The Chief of Staff British Forces,has already stated after 13 weeks we would be spent, and that includes the Army Reserve, insufficient supplies of Ammunition, Equipment,Troops, just like the Royal Navy, they are withdrawing ships because they have insufficient manpower, all of this cost cutting is not helping the situation, and also talking of getting rid of another ten thousand troops at this moment in time to balance the books.
We are a spent force, our allies have said that, what we need is one two two things, recruit more men and women, with a good wage and a good standard of living , or make us a nation of no standing forces,the present wage is insufficient for working a twenty four hour day, on call 365 days of the year, any leave booked can be stopped, it's not like that in civi street is it.
Nonsense. It wouldn't be JUST the British fighting in Ukraine- it would be NATO. You seem blissfully unaware that NATO dwarfs Russia, it has far more manpower and hardware than Russia and Putin KNOWS it too. NATO would obliterate Russia in a conventional clash. The Russian's are militarily inept. Anybody who has served in the military and has a grasp of even small unit tactics can see that the Russian's are inept. They repeat the same school boy errors over and over again, they don't know how to utilise infantry effectively to support armour and vice versa. If they cannot conduct effective small unit actions, they would be completely clueless about conducting large scale combined arms operations- the US and UK EXCEL at such operations, and every NATO country is capable of such operations. The Russian mentality equates to trying to use sheer weight of numbers and throwing lots of artillery into the fray. It simply doesn't work today, all it's doing is incurring mass casualties amongst the Russian army. NATO would go through the Russian army like a hot knife through butter.
The UK is in no position to fight this growling aggressive bear. What planet is he living on.
When you say "We" did you mean you will go yourself to the front or you want to force some others to go to the front? There is more than one way to identify a coward.
