I remember watching walter cronkite talk about the vietnam war every night on the news. I guess that's why this podcast is such a disappointment.
Dom will explain that a town is twenty kilometers north of another town , sixty kilometers east of another town and five kilometers west of a village. Since I don't know any of these towns or villages all the words were meaningless. Walter Cronkite didn't explain how a hand grenade works In the middle of a report about american vietnamese deaths.
Great podcast.
“In the past 24 hours, the AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] losses amounted to up to 400 Ukrainian troops and 17 armored vehicles, including one tank, two armored personnel carriers, 14 armored fighting vehicles, two artillery guns, one MLRS launcher, two mortars, and 10 motor vehicles,” the Russian ministry said.
“Since the beginning of hostilities in Kursk region, the AFU losses amounted to up to 5,137 Ukrainian troops, 69 tanks, 27 infantry fighting vehicles, 55 armored personnel carriers, 350 armored fighting vehicles, 158 motor vehicles, 34 artillery guns, five SAM [surface-to-air missile] launchers, 11 multiple-launch rocket systems, including three of HIMARS system and one of MLRS [multiple launch rocket] system, six electronic warfare stations, as well as four units of engineering vehicles, including two counter obstacle vehicles and one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle,” it concluded.
Welcome to Ukrainian Poesie. One of the English speaking Propaganda Chanals of the Ukrainian Agenda.
What if all NATO troops who shared country borders with Russia would amass large armies along the border. Then Putin would have to start pulling people from Ukraine to be on the ready for these possible attacks? That’s what he did with Ukraine before he attacked so maybe he would assume the same thing. Couldn’t hurt right? If nothing else good training. And now Belarus is doing it!
Russia has a dwindling population with a low birth rate yet needs more land … don’t get it .
Modi is a snake. He tries to be a super power, which he is far from. I don’t see him lasting but he won’t go if outvoted, as with all pretend democracies. I wouldn’t trust him as an ally to the West, as far as I could throw him. He seems to have a huge chip on his shoulder where Britain is concerned.
Love the podcast guys. Being in Australia I download each morning and listen on my way to work.
Ukrainian forces will try to attack the Tendra Spit and the Kinburn Spit in the Kherson Region from the Black Sea and the Dnieper-Bug estuary, regional Governor Vladimir Saldo said.
"According to the information at hand, there is a large number of unmanned boats, assault boats and helicopters among the equipment deployed there. Clearly, the enemy will once again try to land at the Tendra Spit and the Kinburn Spit from the Black Sea and the Dnieper-Bug estuary with the only goal to put up flags there and show the West that they have allegedly gained a foothold in the Kherson Region," he wrote on Telegram.
"NATO Special Operations Forces are coordinating the deadly plan. As always, the act of provocation has been scheduled for a symbolic date, Ukraine’s Independence Day," Saldo added.
Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov is expected to return home from Washington in October, a diplomatic source in Moscow told TASS.
"As for Antonov’s return from Washington, preliminarily, this will happen in October, the source said.
Antonov, 69, has been Russia’s Ambassador to the United States since August 2017. Prior to that, he was Russian deputy defense and foreign minister.
Modi’s got some plucker, rocking up in Kiev while India runs on Ukrainian blood.
Risible analysis from uberbiased ‘journalists’…
Ukraine’s administration is filled with Zionist Jews that cannot be trusted and are full of lies from morning till midnight And the British are supporting all of the corruption and lies that come out of Ukraine
The Ukraine, advancing backwards at a great rate of speed
😂😂😂 does anyone believe Ukraine anymore
I know what Ukraine has one is very risky. Putin is a mad person. He can react badly. However, I also know that Ukrainian strategists considered this risk.
Zelensky is a JEW
whyte folks(the same ones who are against palestine) have been saying that for DECADES now.
Love this podcast. Nice job team!
seems to me the country of my birth has handled this "project Ukraine" horribly. Ukraine is a cash cow for uniparty America. when all is said and done, Ukraine will probably not be much of a country after the west divides it up with Poland, Hungary, Russian Federation. Odesa will be in the Russian spere of influence where it belongs. UK and the weak states of NATO with still be lead by the USA leash. Europe is a dying old man of the globe. Russian Federation will NEVER have Ukraina NATO member on its western boundaries. It will not be Putin making that decision but Russia.
Haha. Look at this pathetic lying attempt to convince anyone that the psychopathic state of Ukraine has a remote chance of not being completely destroyed through its propaganda and terroristic actions!
Ukraine took Kursk with less manpower or armor than tge German army. In a few days.
Lots of fake Ukraine channels now, reported already three
Best wishes and good luck to Russia in pursuing their investigation of an illegal border crossing by a CNN journalist! That's the sort of Invasion the Russian security forces are capable of handling…..
Regarding Syria, let's not forget that the West did indeed try to intervene in Syria to oppose Assad. The problem is that the opposition to Assad is so fractured and disparate, with a range of agenda, and all completely untrustworthy, that the west simply could not work out who it was safe or effective to support.
Ukraine never win russian
❤❤💙💙💛💛
Putin needs to get the gloves off
Putin will not go to jail just like bush gets to sit at home n paint for the rest of his life after he got thousands of Iraqis killed who were innocent
I think Dom touches on a way to beat Russia, they are recruiting and training new soldiers at the same rate they are losing them. This is a balance system, one-in one-out. Now, developing the frontline and stretching the Ruskies past their paper thin margins to maintain an operating army to the point that soldiers production is less than soldiers loss. The house of cards could collapse (suddenly?)
India is probably peeved with the situation in Ukraine, while the war runs on India economically benefits from cheap oil. Now that oil depots in Russia burn that cheap oil is drying up.
The Russians are saying they are destroying Ukrains …. Who to believe ???
UATL gone rogue! DTDK (Don’t Tell David Knowles) shall be a proper branding for future episodes such as this. Spin the war yarns. PNW US sends.
While dreaming of a black swan for President Putin (LOL), the Kursk initiative is failing miserably, as one might have expected from the beginning.
Bunch of bollox. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lies
With Zelenski stupidity your country eventually end up in a borders of a Snake Island!
By the way, why ukrainians adapted internationally recognized flag of retarded people??
good example of "manufactured concent".
No mention of a biggest Russian rocket and drone attack over night which wiped electricity and water supplies across entire country and wiped all airfields across Ukranian territory. gas storage facility was hit again in West Ukraine. Total failure of Ukrainian air defence and no sign of new western aircrafts.
Plus not a word about massive Russian advance on front line in Donbass area, where Ukrainian defence collapsed allowing the fastest Russian advancement since 2022.
The Telegraph Joseph Goebbels Propaganda Kompanie channel is still at it. Broadcasting megaphone pap for the moronic masses. According to the Telegraph, Russia ran out of bombs missiles, artillery, computer chips and conscripts back in 2022! 😮😅😂
Fun propaganda. Selective steering around, twisting, inversing. God will judge.
One corrupt country fighting another corrupt country. Fanboying for one country or the other doesn't make sense.
Waiting for the rest of humanity to realize theyre all dirty. Ukraine isnt faultless, neither is Russia.
