President Putin has initiated a damage limitation exercise by addressing security forces in Moscow. It is uncertain whether the Russian troops are now more vulnerable to collapse than before the recent events. However, it is anticipated that once Ukraine launches its counter-offensive and commits the majority of its forces, a breakthrough could be decisive and potentially lead to a collapse of the Russian side.
Air Vice Marshal Sean Bell discusses the impact of the recent events in Ukraine and the potential for a counter-offensive. He suggests that the alarm created by the March on Moscow would have had little impact on Russian forces currently stationed in Ukraine. The success of mercenary forces deployed by Russia has surpassed that of the Russian army, but their confidence may have been diminished. The frontline Russian troops, while likely to hold their ground, may be affected by the withdrawal of reserve forces.

He's clueless as to the complete power that Putain has...Putain is out to lunch, he's unaware of what is really happening only listening to his closest circle such as Shoigu and Gerasimov and Lavrov who lied about the happenings in Ukraine to launch the war, desperate for the spoils of the oil and gas rich fields or Eastern Donbass. Putain has been hand fed lies by his circle that he doesn't know what's going on and he's lost in his fantasy world of the Soviet Supreme returning. He's been described as insane by his inner-most circle for over 10 years. He's a manipulator and liar, not as intelligent as people make him out to be.

It's useful to have these craven appeasers on occasionally to remind everyone what Ukraine is up against, not only in its east and south, but also to the west. These are the type of people who have carefully and deliberately drip-fed just enough amount and quality of weaponry to keep Ukraine alive, but not enough to drive the invader out of its territory and actually win. This coward so much as said it: winning would put Putin's back against the wall, and who knows what he will do then? Much better to assure that Ukraine will have just enough to prevent further Russian advances, but will exhaust itself - meaning sufficient additional Ukrainian blood will soak the ground - to be ready to capitulate.

The problem with appeasing dictators is that they're never satisfied, and if you give them an inch, they'll want to take a mile. If any part of Ukraine were ceded to Putin, he would just go back to Russia, bide his time, rebuild his army, replace his weaponry, and then he would come back and attack again. The only way to ensure world peace is to shut Putin down completely. His armies must be disbanded, and he is to depart these lands, never to return, preferably for a lenghthy stay in the Hague.

Well in fact the US is indeed short on ammunition and weapons. And, more importantly, it is broke and deeeeep in debt and getting deeper with every passing day. Its credit card is already maxed out but it's still spending like there's no tomorrow. The day will soon come when no more credit is available, and that will be the end of the US. No more imports of any kind, no foreign gas, heating oil, diesel, no bananas, no chocolate, no rubber, no more entitlement programs, no more welfare, no more retirement, no funding for police or firemen, , no post office, no national parks. They'll still have the military but its roll will be different. It will be used not to ensure liberty but to contain and control the people and to enforce the totalitarian rules resulting from the economic collapse. The US is pouring its future down the Ukrainian drain.

This isn't WW2! Counting for inflation etc, a WW2 fighter, cost approximately £700,000 in today's terms. Today's aircraft are not so "cheap". Hence why, US aside, airforces don't have thousands of aircraft, not even many hundreds of aircraft. Would you bankrupt allies, leave them defenceless? This isn't DCS World. It's not a flight sim where you get shot down and press reset. It's not only the planes, aircraft. It's the maintenance, it's the training, if something happens to one set of ground crew, one aircraft, one pilot, then it's a huge cost lost. Ukraine is doing magnificently. But, it's easier to defend than attack. It's going to be a war of attrition, who loses their will first or alternatively, who runs out of equipment, first. To quote some figures, from 4 or 5 years ago, "The three Joint Strike Fighter aircraft all cost much more than their predecessors. A F-35A Joint Strike Fighter costs approximately $100 million, far more than the $35-40 million of the F-16 it replaces. The $131.2 million carrier-borne F-35C Joint Strike Fighter replaces the $65 million F/A-18C Hornet, a 100 percent increase. The Marine Corps' F-35B costs $131.6 million each, way up from the $50 million AV-8B Harrier II and the $60 million F/A-18 Hornet. The biggest cost difference is in air superiority fighters. The F-22 Raptor cost approximately $250 million, replacing the F-15 Eagle which cost $65 million each. The most cost-effective replacement on the chart was the F-15E Strike Eagle, a multi-role fighter and strike aircraft that replaced the F-111 Aardvark. Both cost approximately the same amount, about $80 million each. "provide it!" indeed!!

Follow that up by end of year when F-16s will become viable and Crimea can be freed from Russian!

Crimea (and the eastern part of what was the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, an administrative division of the late non-lamented USSR) ARE Russian. Their populations are almost entirely ethnic Russians - well, at least after Stalin exiled the ethnic Tartar section of the population from Crimea to Siberia! They have been Russian - part of the Russian Empire and then the USSR - for hundreds of years until Kruschev, for some benighted reason, allocated them to the Ukrainian SSR in the early 1950s. There never WAS a Ukrainian state until the collapse of the Soviet Union.

There seems to be a misunderstanding of the position of Western nations involvement in this conflict, the West's influence is in providing vital support materially and logistically to Ukraine, if it was withdrawn yes it would be very difficult but Ukraine by all reports of their disposition will carry on until the last soldier. The point is the west diplomatically has no status to have a say in how this war comes to an end, its actions may influence this but its political input and dialogue has no relevance. It is not for any former or current military or political figures to tell Ukraine what is or might be the point at which this conflict ends they either back Ukraine until Ukraine itself decides or they don't . Either way it is Ukraine's decision what is an acceptable outcome in liberating its people and internationally recognised territory .

The reply was unanimous - "We are fighting for our country - we won't give up!" Their resistance in the face of *apparent* overwhelming odds has exposed the West's own falling for Russia's own overconfidence. Putin was told how mighty the Russian war machine was ... and was as surprised as anyone when they were fought off.

Putin fell victim to one of the classic blunders of a dictator. He surrounded himself with yes-men, and let them know that he didn't like bad news. So, when the subject of Ukraine came up, they said, "Oh, Ukraine isn't a real country" and "They'll welcome our soldiers with flowers." But when the Russians actually showed up, the Ukrainians welcomed them with bullets, and it's been going downhill for Russia ever since. Unfortunately, Putin has painted himself into a corner. Once he committed Russian troops to his "special military operation", he couldn't stop. If he withdrew his forces without anything he could claim as a victory, he would look weak, and he's afraid he would be removed from power. But now Putin's losses are starting to affect the Russian people. Support for Putin's war is starting to crumble as people see their grocery store shelves getting emptier by the week. But if Putin can't stop, the only way for this to end is for the Russian generals or the FSB to remove Putin from power. I hope this happens soon.

And so the defeatist language starts to get louder. This reminds me of Mearshheimer's "realism", which has a lot more in common with capitulation than anything else.

Perhaps they know that we are creeping into use of nuclear weapons and a general conflict in Europe so they can pull back and say well we showed Russia up and wasted their military with minimal casualties and kept the fighting in Ukraine but if it comes to a nuclear exchange best to tap out knowing Russia is bled out by this after all is a multicultural Europe really going to rally against Russia the African and Asian newcomers are aloof and indifferent to what they don't see as their own quarrel

I was hoping to hear fighting talk here based on the title. But more of the weakness and appeasement which has characterized the entire Putin era. Russia lost this the moment they launched the invasion. (It's astonishing to me that anyone EVER thought Russia could just stroll into the capital of a major European and take it over). Russia IS a paper tiger-the opportunity here is to inflict outweigh military defeat upon them and recapture ALL of Ukraine's occupied territory including Crimea.

@@nilsvanteijlingen9591 To be fair if you watch the whole interview he does sound more combative. But I'm sick to death of hearing people saying recovering Crimea is "too much too ask". Losing Crimea will show Russia (and others) adventurism will not only be resisted but risks losing what you already control.

Nice video. I strongly disagree with Air Vice Marshall Bell when he says that in negotiations Ukraine will have to give up territory. That is unacceptable. If Russia is allowed to keep 1 millimetre of Ukrainian territory they have stolen, they win. When the parties to the conflict get to the negotiating table Russia must be told in no uncertain terms that they must pull all of their troops out of Ukraine, all of their citizens that moved to Crimea in and after 2014 must return to Russia and reparations must be paid to Ukraine. In return for this sanctions will be lifted and their overseas assets will be unfrozen.

If there is a kind of stalemate (which is not at all clear since Ukraine has not put all its resources into the counter-offensive), it's because the West has not given Ukraine the support they need to win. It's because of the cowardice of the Western countries. Also, it's not up to Bell or any Western country to decide if Ukraine starts negotiating, it's up to them. And any negotiation with Putin will not be worth much since he repeatedly says one thing and does another. It seems that Bell talks about Putin and Russia as if they are rational according to how we in the West would see it and as if they share Western values, and neither is the case. Putin is a whole different animal.

I hope for a quick end to the conflict, but NATO will never let Ukraine join, unless it is split in half and we take the west bit. I think Turkey has too much sense for that.
