Zelensky should be arrested and put on trial in Ukraine for selling out his citizens. The proxy war could not have been choreographed without help from within..him.
The problem for Ruzzia is not military. Its economy. Any tinpot dictator in some desert shithole can get a couple thousand tanks together and look scary. If you neglect building up your economy and society, you can keep the military stuff going for a very long time. Thats the way these things go. Everything is fine until its not, and then the Berlin wall is being torn apart by the bare hands of teenagers.

The only reason Russia took avdiivka was because UA ran out of stuff to kill Russians with and had to retreat or the Russians still would be trying to take this fortified settlement today.

Russian troops are firmly in control of the battlefield situation and are steadily pushing back Ukrainian forces, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has said. Speaking at the meeting with top Russian commanders on Monday, the minister announced that Moscow had liberated the villages of Pervomayskoe and Novomikhailovka, west and southwest of the Russian city of Donetsk, as well as the settlement of Bogdanovka not far from Artyomovsk, known in Ukraine as Bakhmut. The latter strategic city was captured by Russia last year after months of bitter fighting. He added that the control zone was also being expanded in Berdychi and Georgievka, north and west of Donetsk. ”Our high combat potential allows us to constantly strike the enemy and prevent him from holding the defense line,” Shoigu noted, estimating Kiev’s losses at half-a-million troops since the start of the conflict. - RT

The Americans aren’t in this to help Ukraine,they want to weaken Russia using the lives of the Ukrainian soldiers fighting them.

"Russians need to take Odessa and link with transnistria ASAP " So HOW will they do that since they are on the wrong side of two great European Rivers from Odessa and no longer control the Black Sea areas opposite Odessa? What is your vatnik military plan to get RU 'Boots on the ground' at Odessa ?? It seems like Alex M. you can't read a map....
Alexander. There are strong rumours that the French have put 2000 troops into the Odessa region. Have you heard anything about this? If these rumours are true, would this be an indication that the Ukrainian army is in a critical condition?
😂😂funny the wishful thinking.
The Russian tank is on life support
Another great show. You’re the best 🎉
What what 😮
Big problems for Ukraine it seems with soldiers moral. Soon the rains may begin when Bradleys and fighting vehikles are of no use for Ukrain. Building fortifikations may also be difficult to build in mud, rain and with russian bombardments. The difficulties begin to get so complex they are not to master. Everyone in the West is pulling on a different rope with puting soldiers in. A nightmare is beginning, better an end with horror than horror witout end but Ukranian people still may have the choice what is best for them.
For the Ukrainian people, the main thing is to be free, and not to be under the occupation of terrorists from Russia
❤😊UKRAINE HAS COLLAPSED
big time after a 4th army was built by eu/nato and it.s usa Team leader
Bye bye Gaykraine

Great work. Thanks so much.

Alexander is exceptionally talented in his style of delivering an overview of current geopolitical events.
Always brilliant Alexander.
if the war in ukraine shifts to the west, then I am curious to see whether the ukrainian and nato units will also hide in villages and cities behind the non ethnic russian civilians.
Sure, nobody cares about them either
Good analysis
😮
Guess what? UK troops in Estonia are being withdrawn back to the UK oppppppss.
Some day , I hope and pray that my country will have a leader who loves us, and loves the country. Just like President Vladimir Putin .
Vladimir Putin is doing a great job. No one in history has strengthened NATO more. Thank you Vlad

Getting childish now.
Sounds like the Ukrainian troops have finally come to their senses.
Do Russians have any just asking
1:23:59 Another example is the Vietnamese war. How come the US did not "overwhelm" North Vietnam?
Intervention By PLA.
Because they were the invaders, and it was the Vietnamese homeland
@@user-bg7yb5nl6y Yes. I know that. The point was that some people that Alexander was talking about were saying that because Russia had a tiny little economy and the collective West has a much larger one, the West should be able to "overwhelm" the Russians. It's a non-sequitur.
@@robyenney951 They were better fighters too. However, you misunderstood my post. The question related to 1:23:59 (In the video.) and what was said just before that.
@@brandtbollers3183 My reply related to the part of the video that came just before 1:23:59. In any case the productive capacity of the US was, at that time, vastly greater than that of the Vietnamese and China put together. In any case, I never heard that there were many PLA soldiers involved. I thought that the Chinese help was mostly materiel and fighter jets.
Always an excellent video, Alex. Thank you !

The West continues to make fatal mistakes one after another as if they lost the ability to learn. Europe blindly followed order to crawl onto Russia's door step and caused an unnecessary war. Then they went along with their master's sanctions that backfired badly onto themselves. And each and every European political leader kept mum about the destruction of their energy lifeline that had kept their economies humming in the past 7 decades, perhaps under intense fear of offending the master or perhaps all of them had become victims of blackmail by U.S. intelligence apparatus for their past misdeeds. They kept forking out gigantic amount of money to buy sky-high energy from across the Atlantic in the form of frozen gas -- so much so that nearly all their industries had to move out of Europe and went somewhere else in order to survive, hollowing out their own economies in the process. When Europe followed the U.S. in rejecting Russia as part of the European community, China extended a helping hand. After the imposition of atomic-like sanctions on Russia, the U.S. and its cohorts have been left high and dry when China took over the Russia market worth billions of dollars of cars, trucks, smartphones, computers and peripherals, washers, dryers, fridges, air-conditioners, ovens, cooktops, television sets, sound system, toasters, juicers and everything else in-between, including high tech chips and precision CNC machining equipment, not to mention basic consumer goods like shoes and clothing and Christmas trees and decorations. Now, the West cries foul and "warns" China against closer cooperation with the Russian Federation. How pathetic is that? All the people on the Earth should wish Antony Blinken a successful mission to China, one more time.
" Europe blindly followed order to crawl onto Russia's door step and caused an unnecessary war." Putin had quite a bit to do with the start of this stupid war in both 2014 and 2022 and its continuance into 2024.....In fact his actions have been the "motor" for the conflict. Ukraine and the West have been mainly in reactive mode compared to Putin.
Please keep de accent of village and cities as from the very beginning. It’s charming recognizable. You have a special and friendly tone. Following your great analysis and thoughts every day. Thanks Alexander❤
