You don't need all those men if threatening nukes IMO.
It's like Russia's version of "The Dirty Dozen", only for real.
I like this music a lot
Wow
hahahaha Bellingcat :D
Would you believe it, the former Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen who dragged Denmark into the Iraq war, hired and had Black Water as security firm. As the first PM ever to have something like that in this little 5 million people country of ours. Oh and by the way he was at the Bohemian Grove as well, as the only Danish PM ever.
Oh I forgot we got Lyman territory today
You just showed prisoners lined up and a man addressing how does that relate to recruitment how do we even know if this people are prisoners or not, okay even it was how does really change the fact that the conflict is still raging with no end in sight.
James, there is actually audio that mentioned what he was saying. Secondly, some have already surrendered in Ukraine. It really doesn't change, since it takes training and time to be effective. Russia strategy has always been quantity not quality.
@@blkted2945 yeah I understand the biggest country in the world sending it's best troops into Ukraine leaving it's vast territory in the hands of untrained men, well rather than keep someone condemned to life imprisonment to be feed with state funds and hopefully die in prison one day it's actually a good idea to use them in times like this, Ukraine is doing the same and as for the surrendered soldiers for every 1 surrendered Russian you have a 100 Ukrainians.
@@jamesmiller2735 You seem to be a deeply confused man James...
**GLORY TO UKRAINE**
After seeing the Russians performance in Ukraine i will not call them a major superpower again, an is not like i ever use to but i grow up hearing people saying they are
tolk about mercenaria usa
Unique political dilemma?
Euphemism?
Another name for inhumane requisites of the inhumane?
Or how about, what "super powers" with a UN veto need?
My grandfather fought and killed so the UN could say no more Nazis again.
The trauma he suffered as a result was passed on to his four sons, and their eight children.
Soon it will be passed on to some of their children too.
UN veto is a slap in the face of that trauma and its legacy.
The French foreign legion
Sending prisoners to war because you dont have to feed them, i think thats good thing. Families of tho ones they killed are paying taxes to feed them in prison, so how this is right?
What and where are the Wagner Groups vulnerabilities outside the war zone? Where are they from? Where are their family, friends and neighbors and can they be swayed by, in your face protests?
Wagners are released criminals from prison or might as well be
I don't think I'll reveal a big secret, but Wagner was originally a small group where, in my opinion, poor, problematic people were recruited. But it has grown up a long time ago, Wagner is a big trolling of Russia to Western opponents and Western PMCs. Under an umbrella, with a Wagner patch, anyone can be on the operation, and cannon fodder, but evil, from prison (if this is not deliberate disinformation from Wagner), or the most elite squad of the FSB special operations center. As for curators from Russian state are more convenient. That is, the Wagner brand helps to keep a distance from the state, and use anyone under it.
Well, why not tell us about the American PMCs, a proxy for the CIA, in Ukraine the Russian army began to meet and kill Americans from the "Academy", the former black water PMCs.
moran
What are the French Foreign Legionnaire, British Gurkha, America Black Water and by the way the video clip is fake with a voice over, the video of the person speaking has been super impose on an actual prison video, go and do your research.
America uses PMC's to, Blackwater was an American private military company founded on December 26, 1996 by former Navy SEAL officer Erik Prince.
Blackwater was one of several private security firms employed following the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq.
you know they mentioned Blackwater right.
@@blkted2945 Yeah I should have waited until the end of the video before commenting.
You have the same `Black water` merceneries gang
Wagner were in Libya?? 🤣🤣🤣Oh Bellingcat 🤡🔫
Yes, they were in Libya. ruclips.net/video/w0ZVF8wqUKk/видео.html

Private military, private health care.
Translation, you are a slave.
Sure thing mate lol... They just had 25% of Ukraine vote to join in
Show us that 12 million people voted in the referendum. Have you seen any numbers for votes collected?
Regardless they have voted. American government should accept it amd stop destroying europe.
As a european it is very hard to listen to any news coming out of the US
So 25% of Ukraine were being oppressed?? 98% of the people in those territories were cowering in cellars from 2%?
42% of Crimeans were Ukrainian speakers 8 years ago, ethnic and Tartar. Now Russia says there are no Ukrainian speakers in Crimea.
It's called genocide. It's what Nazis like Putin do.
Nonsense news you try to makes country fight again stop it
Crappy Russia
What a joke :))))))))))))))))))
It is a well known fact that during WWII the USA recruited prisoners to fight. They also asked Lucky Luciano, a well known gangster, to assist in the war effort. And our country did not have a shortage of soldiers at the time. This is not necessarily proof that the Russians are losing.
America kept reporting the numbers killed in Vietnam to try to convince the public that we were winning as support for the war was waning. Much of what was being reported was BS...and we ended up losing that war. The result was a scramble to get out of Saigon...almost as embarrassing as the how we left Afghanistan (except we got Americans and our weapons out).
South Vietnam held on for 2 years after American troops withdrew. Lucky was asked to keep the dock yards safe from sabotage. Americans used soldiers in military prisons for basically suicide missions and it was an extreme rarity.
They were then trained for said mission very well. Russia is trying to fill there ranks with civilian prisoners without giving them training.
@@theodoresmith5272 Very good breakdown. However, my point is that just because Russia is recruiting prisoners does NOT mean that they are on the ropes and ready to capitulate.
Unless the Russians have become soft in their new society since December of 1992 when the USSR folded...they are very tough fighters. We, on the other hand, get fed a LOT of BS about what is going on until the very end when we have to hightail it out of a bad war that we started.
It looks like Biden wants us to get involved in another war where we spend lives, treasure, and efforts on a war that can have no winners. Meanwhile, China is waiting in the wings to pick up the pieces.
Russia is loosing this war. Wait a second. Russia has lost this war already.
@@claudemaggard7162 economy wrecked. Man power is fleeing. Finland and Sweden join nato. Russian military equipment sales will nose dive. 1980s nato weapons have wrecked new Russian equipment. Lastly there army is smashed. It's the loses of specialty equipment and officers like command and control, air defense, jamming, engineering that will continue to be destroyed and can't be replaced.
@@claudemaggard7162 You are sure about that? I could be wrong, but I don't think Putin is ready to give up yet. It looks like Biden overreached by sabotaging Russia's pipeline. I'm not sure he did it...but he said he was going to do it and the USA was conducting exercises with experimental underwater drones in June in the Baltic sea. Looks pretty guilty to me. It is a slap in the face to Putin. I don't think he will take it lying down.

I just listened to Putin's speech prior to incorporating the 4 "liberated regions" from Ukraine.
He did a short summary of the Western colonialism and their oppression. He said Russia was the holdout and helped these Countries and so is hated today.
Well, seeing your list and the historical colonialism, there is a mass of people in the world, who will become an Army. I'd say, these PSC will have to watch out.
Ukraine relies heavily on infantry movements, has limited air cover, has much shorter and limited artillery firepower and move around to meet the enemy.
Not to mention machinery will break down more often and there will little foliage for them seek cover under, as Russia has lots of eyes and guns in the sky.
But even more alarming for Ukraine, the energy crisis and the economic woes that have begin to cripple Europe, will severely hamper the ability and the will to assist Ukraine.
Whereas, Russia has full control of air, longer range and more intense artillery firepower. All Russia have to do to dig in, fortify and defend.
I hope this help you.
I guess you have been witnessing a different war, while some countries are more dependent than others on energy, most have pivoted away from Russia energy and stored their energy to get them through the winter. Ukraine continues to receive aid from western countries with devastating effect, that is why some lines have folded. This war is a war of several things, attrition, logistics, willpower, morale, and plain ole strategy. Russia has never had air superiority, which is why they keep getting shot down and why they moved the planes out of Crimea. So unless you have information we are not privvy to, I suggest you go back and relook at the events or stop lying.
Have you been living in a parallel universe? Ukraine has the upper hand by now and the energy crisis is more of a major invonvenience than a disaster. Air superiority is something Russia does not know and Ukraine has the advantage with nato intelligence.
Russian propagandist? Maybe even a Kremlin bot?
I have no other explanation for this level of stupidity.
Maybe you are not a Kremlin propagandist, but rather someone who has been duped by them?
Hard for me to say.
God bless Mr Putin and mother Russia !
he and Russia is gonna need more than God, better weapons, logistics, strategy, morale, etc.....since ya blessing.
Z forces will win!
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Lol bye putin rest in hell yeah
