I made a comment on one of Gerdes' early videos. I mentioned Anna, about one of her early videos. She had said that the air raid sirens sounded, her class had to be dismissed, how the basements at her university weren't large enough for everyone to seek shelter there. All the lights went out in Lutsk. Street lights, traffic lights, store lights. Since there was no room in the basements for all the students and staff many had to walk home. Cars still had headlights but there were no traffic lights to control intersections. Imagine being in a large city. Many intersections with no lights, wide streets with multiple lanes going each direction, and you need to cross the street. Sirens sounding, explosions going off and you need to cross six or seven lanes of traffic at an uncontrolled intersection. Anna said a student of her university was killed. She didn't say it was one of her students. I could have been, it might have been. I mentioned this incident in the comments of one of Gerdes' videos a long time ago. His reply to me, paraphrased, was that he could relate because is also a professor. As If I couldn't tell by his username which was even longer back then, that he's a professor. How can he relate to Anna's experience? I stayed subscribed to Gerdes because he supports Ukraine but I disabled notifications. I've seen many of his community posts asking his audience what they want to see. Several polls asking what interests people. I decided to watch this video in spite of Gerdes. I'd give him another chance. I'll continue to watch your videos but I didn't hear anything enlightening from Gerdes. Well it was stated that he's a professor of management. Last I heard it was leadership. I still haven't heard him give any insights that I haven't gained from other sources. Slava Ukraini !!
I have to wonder if Biden hesitancy is from his memory of the Soviet Union and the danger it represented. Dan Carlin on one of his podcasts (I think about WWI) pointed out that having witnessed the horrors of WWI the fatal desire for peace makes sense. Similarly Biden grew up while the Soviet Union was a major power and threat. Similar to the WWI survivors blindness, could Biden and the folks saying restraint be similarly blinded by a memory of what the Soviets and Russia were.
Your perception on percentages is somewhat wonky. Russia took a little over half of Zaporizhzhia in the initial weeks of the invasion and has not taken a single percent since then.
@@enpakeksi765 serious or not your boys are losing but you feel offended by society that has offered you hope with the false narrative that Ukraine is winning. You live in the West the same as me the difference being you believe and I question
@@michaelreed5684 "your boys" Who is this nebulous group that you ascribe me to belong to whose "boys" are losing in Ukraine? As far as I am aware, I am not part of any group, much less a group that is engaged in Ukraine. "you feel offended by society that has offered you hope with the false narrative that Ukraine is winning" This seems highly incongruous. If someone is given hope, even if unbeknownst to them it is a false hope,, why would they be offended? Are you sure you're not describing how you feel yourself? "the difference being you believe and I question" You believed 90% of Zaphhorizhzhia was lost, and I put that claim to question.
The one thing the grass roots support for Ukraine shows is that the people support Ukraine. Since the people support Ukraine the government could easily support Ukraine and not face any backlash. The people would support a greater involvement. Parents against Russia For me it's all about the children. Never forget all of the Russians who abused children and their families in Ukraine. From the mass graves (in Izium) to the stolen children. Now if Ukrainian parents don't become Russian citizens and go to fight against their brothers and cousins Russia will take their newborn children at birth. How many children are now sex slaves? They cannot be allowed to win. Speaking of Izium. What did those 414 people see? The Russians thought it was better to murder them and bury them all in a mass grave instead of letting them testify. Whatever they saw must have been truly horrific. At minimum I'm guessing rape and torture. With an average of 150 war crimes per day who knows what they did. (That is a very old number they are way north of over 138,000 documents war crimes a month ago). If Russia wants to sign a treaty they must first prove they will stand by one. If Russia or Putin wants to negotiate, start with your original written agreement. Putin on January 28, 2003 signed the border agreement. He has since signed several other agreements he doesn't honor. Pull back all of their troops back behind their original border and then you can start negotiations. If they don't show they will honor the original agreement how can anyone expect them to honor any further agreements. It's our war to lose. Russia canNOT win. Unless we choose to not support Ukraine of course. It is on us in the global West to pick the world we want to live in. Choose wisely. Thanks. Glory to Ukraine. God Bless the children, Ukraine, and her people. God bless the heroes 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Dear prof, After the Smith’s filing - please consider to publicly join “the republicans voting for Harris” - your vote may not change anything in your state - but your courage to take such a position may motivate someone in one of the swing states to do the same AND there it could make a HUGE difference! As a conservative you have a duty to your country to protect it against a 2nd term of Trump Good luck with your decision. Manda
They PROMISE their soldiers tons of money, but in case after case I hear soldiers saying they are NOT getting the "promised" money. And complaining to their superiors is like talking to a wall ! It gets them nowhere. So I don't think you can include soldier's salaries as an expense of Russia's.
Where you miss the point is that Putin never told "this is a red line" but it's alway's the west that tels this is a red line for Putin. You need to listen in place of to guess and to think that you can decide what the other person think.
Great, a book worm with no military experience thinks he knows something just like every armchair QB. Does RUclips videos because nobody wants his knowledge.
Thank you both for your support!

Love the perspective from Professor Gerdes! Thank you for continuing to have quality analysts and experts.
He is not a professor lol he is a clown
He has a degree in business from Liberty University, he is no expert. The guy is full of BS
Our inaction is louder than Putin’s threats!

How old are you? I mean MENTALLY. @@ruthwolfer4154
Trump the traitor held up aid to Ukraine for four months.
Thank you for the interview 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇩🇪
Thanks for the update and views 🇺🇲🇺🇦
thanks Professor
thank you for your positive reaction!
Thank you, Sergej, for another interesting episode.
🇺🇦 Перемоги та миру всім українцям! 🇺🇦
That was very nice to listen with straight personal answers from Darin Gerdes = very appreciated
indeed, we love his direct way to answer questions a lot!
lol you like to listen to propaganda? 🤦♂️

Gerdes is a cardboard cut out. Typical American. And he's an educated one. But only repeats other people's propaganda.
Thank you Professor.

Love this channel. Ukraine still winning when they have lost 83% of the Dondas, 90% of Zaporizhzhia but winning .
Your perception on percentages is somewhat wonky.
Russia took a little over half of Zaporizhzhia in the initial weeks of the invasion and has not taken a single percent since then.
@@enpakeksi765 I find it strange when people defend percentages. Let just say Ukraine are losing big time. Is that better ?
@@michaelreed5684 And I find it strange when people present patently erroneous figures and then expect to be taken seriously.

Putin Is 🔃
There is only one way to find out for sure..
Professor Gerdes won't vote blue because of principles. Imagine what happens if Trump gets to the white house again. Hate that guy

The russian peaple need to say no we’ve had enough.
25 years of the same person at the top, time for change, and for the better.
What about the 7 months dat the speaker off the Republican Party was blocked the aid Gerdes like to forget
I survived the 90s in Russia you kidding me.
