War in Ukraine: Putin's speech explained
On September 21st Vladimir Putin announced the partial mobilisation of 300,000 Russian reservists to strengthen his forces in Ukraine and warned he would use all weapons at his disposal-chillingly warning, "this is not a bluff". Our experts discuss how far he’s willing to go.

@@vadimaksenin5892 the west is not the conquistador, Russia is the destroyer of Ukraine. Russia is guilty of war crimes.
Or, if you refuse, you go to jail for 10 years😡 what a monster Putin is. How many ppl, Ukrainian and Russian have died needlessly for his insane need to turn back the clock. Are his offspring out there in the firing line?? Bad luck for us he is not!!! but no, he is hunkered down in a bunker with Lavrov and other evil cohorts. Russiais being run by KGB thugs. Russian ppl need to wake up & deal with him before he destroys them all. Already a pariah,, terrorist state🤬
Welcome to Russia! One friend of mine came to protest against the war and got the summons to the army.
This video ended far too early.
He’s basically say that if he doesn’t get his way then everyone loses.
sounds like something my 5yo would say
@Apsoy Pike you wrong, Russia have more than a million of soldiers, and till now they has deployed below 50% of they force, but what you say might be true about they tank or apc and navy.
@Apsoy Pike 20-25% . Forces on the contract.
@Apsoy Pike Look. Russia can't pay such high salary to 70% of all armed forces. It's a simple logic. Putin is mobilizing to hold new territories and probably to let experience forces to advance to Odessa.
u r right, he is a madman
I think that nuclear disaster is unavoidable anymore. Very scary what is going to happen next. Future is unpredictable, but looks dire.
This adds nothing to the speech. I was expecting more analysis, less stating the obvious.
*You just repeated what we have already known from media! The question we want an answer for is; is Putin really going to use nuclear weapons or not? What would happen to the world if he did?*
Western politicians want Nuclear world war to happened. The shadow dark force is recruting young politicians in Europe. Very young ones and females. They prepared their caves and bunkers, you are not. After the disorder, another order will arise from the ashes. There will be tactical nuclear war in 2023. Guess full blown thermonuclear ww3 in 2029. 2030 a new peaceful 10 transcontinetal governments. In 2063 one world government, capital city: Jerusalem, currency: digital on hands and heads of everybody, law: Noahide law. UN is universal Noahide.
Putin did not say "nuclear weapons" at all. He said that in the event of an attack on Russian soil, he would be ready to use all the means at his disposal for defense. The fact that this is a threat of the use of nuclear weapons is already an interpretation distributed in the Western media.
@@WatcherSCP Put is tough and mad, it will be great mistaken to take his words lightly...
@@docajeet To take seriously Putin's words about nuclear weapons, which he did not say and which are fiction / interpretation of fragments of his speech in the Western media? This is real madness.
@@WatcherSCP you mean like when when Russia says it's going to sink the UK with a nuclear weapon
The more times he does , the less he has of the war from Ukraine and beyond. When you become in power of something, no one will begin to not and forever support or help you.
it is very surprising that the Russians do not know where the Ukrainians commanders are while the Ukrainians know where the Russian commanders are.

so basically you repeated what he said??? great analysis
Imagine when this Will happen in Europe..
Европа всегда была пороховой бочкой всех мировых войн. Наверное ww3 не исключение
So . . . what is that strong response exactly????
Specific threats include wiping out the Russian Black Sea fleet. This would, of course, mean destroying Sevastopol, Russia's navy base in Crimea. Completely destroying that would render Crimea useless to Russia... and that's one way to end this problem. I'd dismiss Putin's nuclear threat with "only an idiot would do that" but then I said the same thing about invading Ukraine, and here we are. The only consolation is that Putin is saying he's not bluffing, and recent history shows that man always lies. I'd be more concerned if he was swearing up and down that he'd never use nuclear weapons first.
Nothing, USA and EU really does not care what happen in Ukraine.
Why a sensible human being will always be thinking on how to spit blood of human being fellow, why will a sensible human being will loose so much lives and start to make another arrangement for more lives to be lost. .
Classic media dramatization with the ominous music and the opinionated analysis.
He fails to realize that forcing a person to carry a gun and going to war that they don’t want, now those soldiers have high-powered rifles they could be turned against their commanding officers.
My thoughts exactly. Lets pray they do that.
Let's pray they start attacking the Kremlin, like when Boris Yeltsin sent tanks to the supreme soviet back in the 90s civil war.
In Russia, the people are well aware of who is at war. And for what. Believe me, this will never happen.
@@forabolsonaro924 Putin is not Yeltsin. Pray for yourself.
This war is a terrible mistake and what do they think will be a end point a Ukraine that excepts a military occupation like what happened in Afghanistan in the 80s I just don't understand this situation.
It’s a warning, not a threat, clearly!
Hillarious that you cut out the part where he says he will do it in retalliation
Do you guys at ANY time present the other part of a story?
Gonna be a cold winter🥶
“Very strong response” can be also taken as a threat. In both cases, on both sides, it looks to me like a warning.
We just need one man… just one….
We could only see what happens
As a “brainwashed” citizen of Russia I just want to remind - there is always an opposite point of view. The regime is more stable than you think, and for the majority of Russians this war is the existential challenge. So there could be only one solution - diplomacy and negotiations. Putin once said “Why do we need a world if Russia is not in it?”. Now I think that was not one of his bad jokes.
Петр Лаврентьев But don't you agree this is complete exaggeration? It's like drama from a suicidal teenager with an otherwise potentially great future. Sure life is tough and competition is fierce, but nobody is about to erase Russia from the map. Seems more like the desperate attempts by a corrupt government to remain legitimate and relevant in the eyes of the population. Mind you, there is plenty of corruption around the world as well. And the world has no particular hatred for Russian people, maybe only for those who condone, encourage, or perpetrate war crimes... similar to what the world thinks of Nazis, Mussolini's fascists, the Khmer Rouge, the KKK, terrorists, and so on...
The West media dismisses all opposing views. All opposing views from Russia and China are from “brainwashed” citizens. That is exactly how you make war.
The problem is they dont know what real goepolitics are and how negotiatings work. Major geopolitical analysist and profesors like mearsheimar woudl tell you that the western world is at fault here and they have been since the 90s
Totally afere :) Just imagine Biden saying he’s ok with world existing without USA in it :)
So much misinformation everywhere today
What I want to know is: what is 'very strong response'?
Same here? Seems like a counter threat that can only include nukes as well?

Now we wait to see how large, effective the mobilization will be and if it will change anything in Ukraine. It seems that we may see a massive protest and lack of enthusiasm by newly indoctrinated troops.

New York will be hit with a tsunami caused by a tactical nuke detonated off the coast and blamed on the Russians pushing the USA into war. Unbeknown to the world it will be the USA deep state who detonated this nuke using it as an excuse to enter the war. Don't be fooled.
Have you looked up the word "factual" in the dictionary ??
Putin is absolutely cringe. Waging a war and sending tens of thousands of young Russians to die, just because of his ego. Hopefully this is the end of Putin.
Putin doesn't have enough options that is why he is doing mobilization

@@yousufmalik110 NATO didn't expand. Nations joined it because they wanted to join and applied. They were afraid of Russia, and Russia has proved them right. NATO doesn't have an agenda to expand, it's just that it accepts some states that want to join.
In this war, there is a huge ammount of confusion, misconception, and a lot of unrealistic thinking . . . there is enormous propaganda and chatter on all sides . There is a huge Space between the chatter and name calling and the realities, and that space and confusion provides lots of potential for Error and stupidity. "Know Your Enemy ?"

I like phycological shock, new phrase that sums everything up, to the military strategy that could be used to see who will do what, when and why. I bet NATO would be called in to order, as they would not retaliate with nuclear, which make this game more interesting
Putin has warned nato not to cross the red line!!! So nato & eu & us will pay the price!!!

Like another brilliant Economist article recently ended with: Peace will [only] come when Russian citizens understand that Mr Putin is losing and cannot win.
Only brainwashed Russian liberals will do that....
A war outside the territory of Russia is always better than a war on the territory of Russia itself, because the Russians will not surrender.
Russia can not lose against a small country like Ukraine. If they do lose Putin have to resign.
@@gbxmusicchannel3836 there is no winner here. It's what the dictator needs to understand.
@@gbxmusicchannel3836 I agree that Russia will not lose, but Ukraine is the 2nd largest country in Europe after Russia, it is not small (larger than France, which is in 3rd place), Ukraine will lose at least because it is itself a poor country in Europe. Now 55% of the Ukrainian budget is loans and subsidies from the US and the European Union, but they cannot be endless, especially against the backdrop of the global inflation crisis. Having a 5-fold superiority in soldiers due to the general mobelization in February, Ukraine could fight. After mobelization in Russia, forces will equalize in a couple of months, the Ukrainian front will collapse.
As a great card player, I don't listen to what my opponents say because everyone lies.
Согласен. Я из России. Архангельск. Изнутри моё мнение: Путин врёт. Все дети элиты России в Европе и США. Все деньги яхты олигархов в Еропе США и офшорах Кипр.. Армия России это говно.

If nukes are on the table; you can bet chemical weapons are too. I believe that would be the response. Nuclear fallout would affect Russia, and the global condemnation would last for generations.. It's chemical weapons that Russia will goto first and exclusively; mark my words.
Russia already used chemical weapons. Even that isn't helping them.
Marking your words. Also, I doubt the west will retaliate with nukes if Putin uses a tactical nuke, the loss of life with escalation is just too much. “You can’t just do nothing” yes I know, its a tough situation and will it show him that the west wont do anything and whats to stop him then using more.

Volunteer detachments are being formed there. Most likely several battalions will be formed there Там формируются отряды добровольцев. Скорее всего несколько батальонов будут там сформированы.
The most prudent response to Putin's threats is not military escalation, but rather economic escalation.
where will they escalate more? Sanction NS 1? Germanys economy is going down anyway and btw. ucraine is completely done.
No, that's just not going to work. We need to double, nay, triple down on the military assistance we give Ukraine. We need to massively increase the rate at which we manufacture arms and ammunition. We need to prepare for war to preserve peace. It is the only language Putin will understand.

Even if Russia were to end up taking all of Ukraine, it wouldn’t be worth it at this point. The cost Russia has paid and will continue to pay has been catastrophic.
Ww3 will have no winners
The Russian budget now receives 2 times more money than last year. Russia now has a huge budget surplus, that is, income is more than planned expenses. Now, of course, the military budget will be increased, but this does not worsen the economy in any way. Inflation is minimal now, the ruble exchange rate is higher than a year ago. If we take military losses, they are certainly high, for 7 months of the war, Russia lost 6 thousand soldiers killed, but for example, Ukraine lost 61 thousand soldiers killed during the same time, plus more than a thousand foreign mercenaries killed, mostly EU and US citizens. Бюджет России сейчас получает в 2 раза больше денег чем в прошлом году. В России сейчас огромный профицит бюджета, то есть доход больше чем запланированные расходы. Сейчас конечно будет увеличен военный бюджет, но это никак не ухудшает экономику. Инфляция сейчас минимальная, курс рубля выше чем год назад. Если брать военные потери, то они конечно высокие, за 7 месяцев войны Россия потеряла 6 тысяч солдат убитыми, но например Украина за это же время потеряла 61 тысячу солдат убитыми плюс к этому более тысячи убитых иностранных наёмников, в основном граждан ЕС и США.

Who have killed more people in last two decades ? America or Russia how many people have been killed and wounded in Iraq since the 2003 United States invasion. However, we know that between 184,382 and 207,156 civilians have died from direct war related violence caused by the U.S., its allies, the Iraqi military and police, and opposition forces from the time of the invasion through October 2019. The violent deaths of Iraqi civilians have occurred through aerial bombing, shelling, gunshots, suicide attacks, and fires started by bombing. Many civilians have also been injured. Because not all war-related deaths have been recorded accurately by the Iraqi government and the U.S.-led coalition, the numbers are likely much higher. Several estimates based on randomly selected household surveys place the total death count among Iraqis in the hundreds of thousands. Several times as many Iraqi civilians may have died as an indirect result of the war, due to damage to the systems that provide food, health care and clean drinking water, and as a result, illness, infectious diseases, and malnutrition that could otherwise have been avoided or treated. The war has compounded the ill effects of decades of harmful U.S. policy actions towards Iraq since the 1960s, including economic sanctions in the 1990s that were devastating for Iraqis. Despite more than $100 billion committed to aiding and reconstructing Iraq, many parts of the country still suffer from lack of access to clean drinking water and housing.

A Onipotência do SENHOR JESUS CRISTO Vivo; ELE Mata, e Faz Viver, ELE Fere, e ELE Sara, e as Suas Mãos Curam; é o que nos Revela o ESPÍRITO SANTO de DEUS Vivo em Nome do SENHOR JESUS CRISTO *** Palavra da Boca de DEUS Vivo em Nome do SENHOR JESUS CRISTO com o ESPÍRITO SANTO escritas nas Escrituras Sagradas:- Deuteronômio 32:39. - I Samuel 2:6. - Jó 5:18. - Isaías 38:16. - Jeremias 17:14. - Jeremias 33:6. - Mateus 12:22. - 19:2. - Lucas 4:18-19. - 6:18-19. - "Vede AGORA que EU, EU o Sou, e mais Nenhum DEUS Comigo; EU Mato, e EU Faço Viver; EU Firo, e EU Saro; e Ninguém há que Escape da Minha Mão. O SENHOR é o que Tira a Vida e a dá Faz Descer à Sepultura e Faz tornar a Subir dela. Porque ELE Faz a Chaga, e ELE mesmo a Liga; ELE Fere, e as Suas Mãos Curam. SENHOR, com estas Coisas se Vive, e em Todas elas está a Vida do meu espírito; portanto, Cura-me e Faze-me Viver. Sara-me, SENHOR, e Sararei: Salva-me, e Serei Salvo; porque Tu És o meu Louvor. Eis que EU Farei Vir sobre ela Saúde e Cura, e os Sararei; e Lhes Manifestarei Abundância de Paz e de Verdade. Trouxeram-lhe então um Endemoninhado Cego e Mudo; e, de tal modo o Curou, que o Cego e Mudo falava e via. E Seguiram-no muitas gentes e Curou-as ali. O ESPÍRITO do SENHOR é sobre MIM, pois que me Ungiu para Evangelizar os Pobres, Enviou-me a Curar os quebrantados do coração, A Apregoar Liberdade aos Cativos e dar Vista aos Cegos; a por em Liberdade os Oprimidos; e Anunciar o ano Aceitável do SENHOR. Os quais tinham Vindo para o Ouvir, e serem Curados das suas Enfermidades, como Também os Atormentados dos espíritos Imundos: e eram Curados. E Toda a Multidão procuravam Tocar-lhe; porque Saía DELE Virtude, e Curava a Todos."
It’s basically them admitting they can’t beat Ukraine 🇺🇦
Russia should just try to defend Donbas and Crimea and send troops to friendly countries and support Cuba,Venezuela and Nicaragua etc. Plus plant seeds in Mexico like the US did in Ukraine.
Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua? Hahaha, all failed latin countries, as Putin's mind. Who with normal mental conditions would like to be an ally of a failed state? XD
This is pure delusion. Americans don’t want to get involved on that level. For now it’s just supporting a nation under attack
Here is what Trump said about Putin: “I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius,’” Trump said during an interview with conservative radio hosts last month. “Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine - of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. They say, ‘Trump said Putin’s smart.’ I mean, he’s taking over a country for two dollars’ worth of sanctions,” Trump told a crowd at a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, according to a recording of the event. “I’d say that’s pretty smart. He’s taking over a country - really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people, and just walking right in.” “Yesterday reporters asked me if I thought President Putin was smart,” he said. “I said, ‘Of course, he’s smart,
President Donald Trump also said that if he was in Office, Putin wouldn't be in Ukraine. So in light of that acknowledgement, Putin is smart.
@@Tyrone950 Then you know very little of Putin's ambitions. Putin considers Ukraine not only central to Russia but key to Russia's Orthodox Christian Churches. Putin will not give up his lifelong ambition, no matter who is in power in Washington.
@@RafaelGarcia-dt3wt that's right, it's a family beef and the US has no business in it. Putin waited on Joey to steal the US election, put troops on border for 3 months and Joey did nothing and Putin went in. US military NATO instigated this fight and now Putin is threatening nukes. When President Donald Trump was in Office, Putin did nothing. This is how I see it.
Rusty rifles can point on officers.
The best leader! Greetings from the U.S.
We are on the edge of war because of 1 mad man who acts like a toxic boyfriend who won’t let his ex go
