@@kYnTso you dumb or something? Prepping for war takes a long time, sometimes even years. These are way different than annual exercises, plus, no exercise ever takes this long. Not to mention that those exercises never include the transport of field hospitals and perishable blood supplies.
@DC_Kamehameha what did he do to help you? Put up a song?
It's literally satellite photos of a Russian base in Russia.
The most funny thing is that these bases are in these places for decades. The distance is 400 km to the border - oh God, they are on the border with Ukraine. To us where to remove the troops? On the North Pole? Western media will begin to shout that we want to capture it.
And now?
Turns out, sometimes the stories people tell with photos are right.
Correction: The Iskander-M has a range of 500km easily and is not very likely to be armed with a nuclear warhead because the missile is only a 1 stage system so you can’t really attach a nuclear warhead unless you take apart the entire missile.
Theatre nukes
No country will ever use nukes again trust me because everyone has them now 1 side fires and so dose the other then end of the world so
@@tafdiz I’ve thought about this too but it’s very rare to have a one piece missile that stays completely together till impact to have a nuclear warhead on it. But who Knows there probably are some. But I’ve heard Micheal Kofman, a man I respect greatly state in the past that you can just go to a warehouse and exchange the missiles warhead to a nuclear one. I disagree I’ve seen the missile up close and there is absolutely no screws to remove the upper cone where the usually 1,500LB HE warhead is. So your theory is a way better one and I respect the comment!
@@dackbowland1876 I am only talking about the 9M723 ballistic missile which the manufacture has explicitly stated is not nuclear but the Iskander-K variants 9M728/9M729 which are cruise missiles can have the front section where the warhead is switched out rather easily so I don’t doubt that this can be done. I also don’t doubt that some missiles from the factory are already armed with low yield nuclear warheads in secret.
@@dackbowland1876 China is already a nuclear power.

It was a bad decision to try to help them as it ended up doing nothing but how was it based off a lie exactly? 3. Syria was a dominoe effect after Iraq. If we didn't go in we'd end up with a bigger problem. ISIS was in control of a lot of income. 4. Iraq is the only one that you said that makes sense. And this is completely different. Our allies are on our side. We're not going rogue like in 2002. The truth is we (the public) were way too trusting after 9/11. We aren't making that mistake this time.

I couldn't agree with you more, but it seems to me that the Russian government wants a war all the same. My dad once said to me, but I think he was quoting someone, 'Imagine it's war and no one goes there'. I used to think the way to prevent a war was simply to refuse to fight. But if Russia wants to invade Ukraine for its own reasons, then I wonder how they can be stopped. Certainly not by the western nations just saying 'We're staying out of this', because Russia would be b like 'Great, that's just what we wanted and now this country belongs to us'. And especially because, if I have this right, Ukraine has wanted to join Nato since 2008, it seems cruel to just leave them to Russia. We're basically saying 'No you can't join our club' and then 'Now we won't protect you because you're not in the club'.

interesting.. I hate to think where this is going my optimism is wearing thin..🤔
Am I the only one or does it not make sense for them to invade at this point in time? It seems like a psychological tactic and training exercise in the event Russia ever was to invade again or protect it's border with Europe
Russia doesn't need to protect their border, NATO hasn't invaded any countries near Russia. Russia has. Also Russia already had a build up of around 100k troops next to the Ukraine border in April but there was little attention given there because it wasn't as likely they were going to invade as it is now. According to FP there's around 175k troops now.
Exposing your military power before a legitimate invasion is just a bad strategy

@@america1754 On the border with Russia? No. But it did invade Serbia, both a country near Russia and a Russian ally.

You can’t broker a peace if someone made up their mind months of not years ago. The issue is that sometimes, the only thing you can do is to prepare for all eventualities and often, the world doesn’t wait for you to catch up. Case in point, Europe going through a lot of major crisis in the last 30 decades which lead to a dependency on Russian energy - sometimes you hope that something is not going to happen because you can not stop it and then it does and you got to improvise.

In a perfect world this issue wouldn't have escalated. NATO was formed to counter USSR. But NATO still flexes it's muscles, even though USSR is long dead (officially).

It's US disrupting the region, not Russia. All of Russia's actions are reaction to US provocation.
True. The real question is why didnt the world act like this when USA attacked Iraq and Afghanistan on false premises. And why doesnt the world sanction USA for stealing land i Cuba, illegaly occupying areas in Syria. Why is the world silent when Israel is occupying almost all land of palestine (1947 lines) and Golan Hights. Makes me wonder.
True. Russia reacts to Ukraine trying to defend itself after it was deprived of a few parts of its territory by Russians. Poor poor Russians, they are just forced to react, again and again, killing more and mire people in the process, stealing the land and destabilizing the neighbor countries as much as they can.
Russia historically hardly uses soft power such as sanctions and geopolitical alliance building/maneuvering. Russia historically gets what it wants through military force aka hard power. The Soviets did it all the time, with Afghanistan, and eastern Europe. Now modern day Russia uses hard power when they invaded Georigia, Annexed Crimea, and instigated and funded civil war in Ukraine for the past 8 years. Russia only understands hard power, and we should have responded in the only language Russia can understand. As soon as Russia started placing troops on the border of Ukraine, America should've placed troops in Ukraine as well. Russia knows they'd lose a conventional war against NATO, invading would mean nuclear war which russia wont risk
These people in control don't represent Russia.
Бред полный! Что вы все говорите!!!

USA caused the original dispute and loaned Ukraine money to buy their own US armaments! Now they have lent Ukraine more money to buy more out of date armaments from the USA. USA do not want Europe to buy gas from Russia and delayed the installation of Nord Stream 2, because USA wanted to sell Europe its liquified gas at twice the price. (There are insufficient tankers or ports to provide all the gas Europe needs!) As a result, Russia increased sales of gas to China leaving Europe out in the cold and causing the price increase of gas worldwide! Then with all the silly war games around Russia's borders and now 100,000 troops on their borders, what do you expect Russia to do but to amass troops on their side? USA have started so many false wars since the second world war, won none and destroyed so many of the countries they invaded! USA needs to stop believing 007 films depicting Russia as the dangerous warmongers. 007 films need to concentrate in future as USA being the bad country. USA needs to worry about China since they are taking the world over by stealth! So could Russia be helping China to amass everyone's troops and armaments around Russia so China has a free hand to invade elsewhere! Boris annoyed Russia so much with his 'friends' from USA by sending troops and armaments for silly war games around Russia for months and supported the USA's attempt to slow down the Nord Stream 2 so much, that Russia sold excess gas to China. This is a major cause of the hike in gas/electricity prices! Boris you are an idiot. One day, we might have a government that is sensible enough to realise that the planet works better with international trade cooperation. Does Boris believe all the block buster films including the 007 films which portray Russia as a warmongering nation? USA start all the wars, destroy the countries they attack and loan the countries money to destroy them economically and then sell them their out of date armaments. USA is dragging us down, they are not friends of the UK! By whose authority has UK sent any troops/armaments etc to Ukraine?

The US have bases there because they are trusted by the countries they have bases into.

They have a base in Kuwait because the Kuwait people trust the US. They have bases all across Europe as part of Nato as some Nato countries leave their country's defense on the US, they don't put to much spending on their militaries, the US urges them to spend more or else the US will leave.

@@danjohnston9037 What are you mumbling about? Did you have a point? Were you going to recognize the fact that Russia has exactly zero chance of controlling the Bosporus Strait until a time when NATO disappears?
If war breaks out between the US and Russia, it is not only in air or sea, or land fight but it is also in space, satellites against satellites, or warplanes that go beyond the earth's atmosphere destroying enemy's satellites.
What? I don't get it, what kind of plane can get to orbit and crash a satellite
@@Iamrich00 kzhead.info/sun/Z9Odmd6Ke5-DkpE/bejne.html
It will be nuclear missiles lol
No. It is not the cause now the wzr is ongoing. Destroying satalites makes space dust that will destroy ALL satalites... Bye bye GPS... No one will ever do that
russians only got ladas now
Russia does not attack like the US does. Hence the misunderstanding of the pundits in the west.
We the people. Are more concerned about our southern border.. We are sick of the WAR GAMES.
are those from the 90s lol like you seen chemical weapons in Iraq..
No one saw chemical weapons in Iraq.
@@usul573 yea the usa did.lol
It's there's ,Mind your business USA
We’ll mind our business after Ukraine is part of NATO. Russia needs to stay out of Ukraine
@@jtgd you don't give an f about Ukraine, u want their bordera to put US troops and to threaten the sovereignty of Russia cause y'all still regard them as a threat. Ukraine will never join NATO because NATO itself rejects Ukraine due to many factors.
@@lukekor says the person not willing to acknowledge Russia invaded Ukraine. If NATO rejects unkraine, Putin is lying about growing NATO influence through ukraine. Your stupid argument exposes the stupidity of Putin’s justification
@@jtgd Bot troll pathetic. Work on your understanding of logic.
I'm Ukraininan. No, help us
Maybe the U.S. should build up and move his forces in Alaska?
That would cost a lot m8
Russian needs to diversify its industry, manufacturing, etc.I believe they still rely on what they perceive as proven Soviet ways in a world that is moving way too fast.
What they just did today will set them back decade's one would think. Yet, I'm almost 99% sure China is going to back them throughout the sanctions in support of them taking Taiwan
@@nightthebluefoxfemale8816 Yes excatly.The Russian people don't support Putin's invasion. The Russians want a free and open society without corruption..
@@nightthebluefoxfemale8816 you are correct….China is backing them….not only China but Chinas support is huge.
NATO must guarantee Ukraine's borders as per the 1994 Bucharest Agreement. If Ukraine goes then the Baltic states are next.
Nope. Putin should get the F away. The world has enough warmongers like him:/
@@jeckjeck3119 for last few decade who are waging wars across the globe ?
@@Jesus-gr9ig Along with Russia? Many:/ That's why I said we had enough war mongers.
@@AndrewOsbourne No, you need Russia to dissolve into different states. It's run by a war monger dictator.
@@Jesus-gr9ig How does America waging the most wars somehow make Russia's actions in Ukraine justified? If a man kills 100 people, does that mean his enemy who has killed only 10 should be trusted?
