"You have to provide bullets and artillery rounds, but smart weapons are. That's where the game changer is genuinely provided by the West."
Ukraine could "find a different way of fighting the war" as US missiles and British boats sent to Ukraine will enhance their capability to strike Crimea, says retired Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell.

Absolutely agree: no bully can be stopped by begging! We have to stand united against terror!
You just can't appease megalomaniacs...
You are right. And please don't forget the Chief-bully-in charge. The bully who stepped into Iraq claiming they had weapons of mass destruction (wink wink).
When Putin kneels before Kim Jong Un begging for weapons he's like a Slavic Oliver Twist. "PLEASE SIR CAN I HAVE SOME MORE".
@@ikechukwuogbu9306Please do tell how invading your democratic neighbour because they didn't want to be ruled by your puppet is soooooooo much better?
Thinking NATO can stop Putin/Russia is a Joke. NATO led by the US could not defeat Talibans who only Had Russian AK47s, No NAvy, No Airforce or even nuclear weapons only Russian AK47s( rifles), could fight US and NATO for 20 Years. Stop dreaming NatO weapons cant even stand Russia AK47s
This guy is spot on!
Are you so thick you can't see the sun coming upon the morning.
In both Junior High and High School, we had two different bullies always picking on the weak. At first, I observed a minor incident but when bully #1 threw a mentally handicapped boy to the gym floor intentionally, I challenged him. Then he lunged at me. I knocked him flatly on the floor. No more harassment of the weak. All the bullying stopped. Same with bully 2. Sometimes you have to make a stand and do the right thing to protect the weak. It’s no different with Putin & Russians. NATO should provide support troops and free up UA soldiers to fight on the front line. Russia knows if they use nukes, they can expect the same. Most politicians never took on the bully in a school yard so they just don’t get it. And there is no guarantee Russia may not strike first regardless as they want us not to interfere. The bully does not want to be challenged. Stand tall!
The whole world failed Ukraine right at the beginning before Russia even considered invading. In the 90s Russia marched in when the war in Bosnia started (kind of makes you wonder HOW that really started now?) but British forces followed them in under UN flags, and Russia turned tail. Consider Russia is a member of the UN… When the so called none Russian soldiers started fighting before the full invasion, the UN (of whom Russia is a member) should have stepped up and said they would send peace keeping forces made up of Russia, Britain, and France. This would have put Russia on the spot immediately while implying they were there as a supportive role. In this scenario they would have had no choice but to de-escalate, giving legitimate reason for external forces to be alongside Russian forces without a war footing to watch over them.
Ukraine can take a lot of that blame on itself as well. Just look at its history since the collapse of the USSR, the corruption, playing Russia off on the west and vice versa to get what it wanted for its Elites who've robbed the country blind for over 30 years. Especially, its former President Kuchma and his Oligarch son in law Viktor Pinchuk, who by the way has the Pinchuk foundation (a whitewashing organization)who's attendees have included Bill Clinton, Niall Ferguson, Kissinger, Tony Blair and a whole host of other prominent westerners in an attempt to cleanse the reputations of these 2 scoundrels. Slava Ukraini, Heroyem Slava! P.S. I lived and worked in Ukraine for 20 years from the late 90s.
NATO is the bully.
You sound a beast Terry, but thankyou for your efforts.
While most of the world see USA as the real bully.
Finally someone said it loud - what future generations will think about our cowardice.
So your willing to die for Ukraine a country more corrupt than Mexico millions of Ukrainian men of fighting age fled defending their country because they hate Zelensky and American investers like Blackrock Who now own all the crop growing land in Ukraine
Not wanting to fight for the wrong thing is not cowardice. And when many try to make you fight for it anyway.. staying the resolve is in fact courage. 80 years later.. people dont speak of courage when they talk about those that cooperated with the nazis.
I think you are being a bit too harsh there. Cowardice??? I feel like our hesitation and caution is a more correct term. Sure hindsight is 20/20 but I think history won't be as harsh if Ukraine wins in the end.
Hopefully future generations will continue to exist once these idiots are done f-ing everything up. It’s not looking like the most solid bet these days…
Dont be a coward, enlist in Ukraine foreign legion tomorrow.
Stop telling Russia what we are going to be sending, if they dont know they cant be ready ??

Sean Bell & Michael Clarke are legends for their summarising of strategic & tactical events that anyone with a modicum of interest can follow. This conflict is literally the reverse, east to west version of pre WW2 with the appeasement danger so very obvious.

@@dpelpalRussia never said it’s going to take Kiev in 3 days. It was US general Mark Milley. He didn’t understand the situation on the ground then, and he doesn’t understand it now. So, blaming Russia for not leaving up to the standard that was placed on it by the US is at least disingenuous…
Thank Heaven for retired Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell; I reckon he should be brought back into service to advise on the UK's faailing military situation right now. Such encouraging words of wisdom I've not heard in a long time. Big respect to you sir.
There's nothing that will save the UK but a full on regime change.
Air Vice-Marshals retire on FULL PAY so its not unreasonable to ask them to work for it .. ..
A refreshing and straight forward assessment...thank you
Same old same old! POLITICOs sticking their beaks in something flower powered! War is fickle and real!
General Ben Hodges has been stating this since the start of the war
He is an idiot
he is idiot whit 0 expirience on front line
Agreed. General Hodges is an excellent tactician and historian. I really enjoy his interviews. Wish there were more of him.
You really enjoy his propaganda nonsense how can Ukraine take back crimia if they cant even take back occupied land😅😅 do you have brain? Pls use it
He also said Ukraine would retake Crimea by August 2023. He's a joke who hasn't predicted a single thing right this war
It's really time that somebody speaks out what has to be said. Thank you; Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell.
Hes right, this could have been a much shorter conflict, had nato stepped in and declared a no fly zone over Ukraine a month after the invasion started, i say month because thats when it became very clear that Russia wasnt gonna walk over Ukraine
How I agree.
You know why NATO (USA) didn’t impose a no fly zone in Ukraine because that would mean going to war with Russia and you need to understand that NATO (USA) is not prepared to fight Russia they are scared of Russia. Europe and the USA weapons stocks are depleted they have no weapons to give Ukraine… the British army is to small to fight Russia British army is only around 70 thousand soldiers France army is around 100 thousand soldiers Germany army only has around 80 thousand soldiers now compare that to Russia 1.2 million soldiers and advance high tech weapons 😂
@@mannysosa592the fact that you say NATO (USA) means we can discard the rest of you response😂😂😂
@@mannysosa592No one has given weapons to Ukraine that damages their national security. Not one. UK gave old stock that was either already replaced, or in the process of being replaced. Same with the US, Poland, France, Sweden, etc .. unlike Russia, western countries are still fully armed. They are also now starting to gear up production levels in more and more countries. Do you have any idea how lob sided this contest actually is, if it went live. Russia understands/understood this. Even during the cold war they understood this. Russia has conscription at the moment. Of course they have a large army and at the moment NATO doesn't. Europeans doing a limited conscription similar to Russia, on their own would dwarf that number by a factor of around 2.5. Europe is 440mil, Russia is only 140 mil pop. People used to say don't wake the bear, Russia's biggest mistake was waking a quiet sleepy Europe. Making her re-arm. That's not even counting that America is gearing up now too.
Yes hindsight is wonderful but they have to calculate how far putin is/was willing to go Nuclear is a very scary scenario

This fool doesn't realize he is giving the reason why Russia has every right to do what they are doing. Crimea hosts their naval base they have had for centuries and now NATO wants to take over Ukrainia including Crimea. Every fool should have known (and offcourse the West knew) that would be unacceptable for Russia. But The West/NATO went ahead anyway and basicly forced Russia into this war...
@@anthonymitchell8893 A lot of us knew of the secondary base of Novorussisk. And from its performance, it looks like Russia holds most of the deuces.

@@normplatt7549 Why did Churchill claim that the Soviet Union wanted?

He used the term "iron curtain" to describe how the Soviets were exerting dominant control over Eastern European countries." What did Winston Churchill accuse the Soviet Union of? "In particular, he warned against the expansionistic {and imperialist} policies of the Soviet Union. In addition to the “iron curtain” that had descended across Eastern Europe, Churchill spoke of “communist fifth columns” that were operating throughout western and southern Europe." "Churchill claimed that the Soviet Union wanted the fruits of war and the indefinite expansion of their power and doctrines; so that communism can spread." Where the word "communism" is used, replace with "Russian revanchism" and the "Russkiy mia" "Russkiy mir"The "Russian world" (Russian: Русский мир, romanized: Russkiy mir, lit. 'Russian world', 'Russian order', 'Russian community') is a concept and a political doctrine usually defined as the sphere of military, political and cultural influence of Russia. This concept is sometimes also phrased as Pax Russica, in parallel to the Pax Romana, and as a counterweight to the Pax Britannica of the nineteenth century and the Pax Americana after WWII."

Interesting how military experts and strategists know what to do, vs politicians who care only about their personal political survival.
The strategic importance of Sevastopol is negated by modern weapons to which the formerly intimidating Black Sea is but a (shrinking) puddle. Seas awkwardly force transit to be vulnerable surface traffic or submarine traffic and both are increasingly vulnerable.

Crimea was conquered by Russia in 1783 , taken from Ottoman Turkey and the native Mongol Tatar people.
was stolen by catherine the great
Before the Russians stole it Crimea belonged to Ukraine because everything Russian used to be Ukrainian. Moscow was founded in 1147 by a Ukrainian prince called the Grand duke of Kyiv but then the Mongolians took and had it for a few hundred years. Hence why Russians are good at being obedient slaves.
