American Green Berets had been training the Ukrainian's for quite some time prior to this. They are without question the worlds best force multipliers and specialize in the area they are assigned to include culture and language.

That vehicle line-up comment hit home too hard. Every end of day for us in the US Army we had to go down to the motor pool and make sure each vehicle was straight in line perfectly, same with the trailers behind the vehicles. They were also numbered so they were in numerical order as well, and if the command came by and saw it out of place he would pull every soldier from their barracks to go back down and fix it. Even while deployed it was the same. The key was to train at home the exact way we'd do things deployed.

General George S Patton "I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me"

A military youtuber called lazerpig has done two videos covering Ukraine i highly recommended

For a better understanding, why and what is/was going on in Ukraine, you can react to: Good rockets / Truth about the War in Ukraine (English subtitles) Артём Гришанов - Лишь бы не было войны / Don't need war / War in Ukraine (English subtitles)

Whenever they talk about France i am thinking "it wasnt a 100 years war is still boiling in an English mans veins"

Talking about “mud season”, every time I see the Ukrainian countryside it looks like home. I bet they grow a lot of sugar beets.

General "Stormin" Norman Schwarzkopf once said in a press conference "That's what I love about the French, they're always there when they need you!" 🤣

Well this video got a little outdated rather quickly because now Russia completely abandoned their northern offensive their now only focusing on the east and the south

Watching Russian artillery unload a truck of munitions directly onto the floor and by hand is more than slightly disturbing. You ever heard of a forklift or pallet jack? The US and British militaries palletized logistics in the 90s so it's odd to see them waste 10 men who could be fighting to unload a truck.

China's military has its own set of problems which includes not only "yes men," but also the troops having to devote 1/4 of their time to studying "Xi Jinping thought."

Thought you guys might like something a little more light-hearted. A Ukrainian woman is giving a 'Life Hack' to help people drive abandoned Russian vehicles. It is pretty funny. One link is below. Nastya has removed this video since she is based in Russia now. At least as far as I can tell it is gone. It may have been posted on Tik Tok. This video shows a few other Ukrainians 'making off' with other Russian equipment.

This. is. what. happens. when. You. Give. Up. Your. Nukes.

A big reason Russia wants Ukrainian is to basically have a buffer between nato countries and Russia … going through Ukraine is also the easiest way to infiltrate Russia by land as far as the terrain needed to be crossed

I don’t know about TikTok, but China has the Chinese Anti-Indulgence System (CAIS) that limits how long people can play games in a day, as well as what hours they’re allowed to play during. The system works off peoples’ NID (equivalent to US SSN), so it tracks time played between games on the same platform; without a valid (and verified with the government) NID, accounts are treated as under 14 with full restrictions.

Best video, best reaction you ever did!! I could feel the emotion from across the pond. It definitely gives me goosebumps at what the Ukrainian military and people have been able to fight through. Their efforts will never be forgotten! At a later date, you guys should start a weekly series reacting to the coolest and most badass military operations of all time. Every country has to have had a few over the milliniem. Something that you guys might enjoy exploring. Keep up the great work! Cheers from Phoenix, AZ.

It's really easy to sit back and judge France. They have a terrible track record over the last 40 years of getting involved and then getting absolutely demolished for it while the rest of the Allies just stand there and shrug their shoulders. If we want France to do more, then we gotta be willing to back them up, and traditionally we haven't done very well at that.

It hasn’t happened quickly, it’s been going on in the east of Ukraine since 2014…8 years on a smaller scale

Hello everyone!

Speak the Truth is a good channel with 1-2 daily updates with maps, videos, and stats concerning this invasion. Edit: It's hosted by a former Army sniper who's seen a good bit of combat.

Please make reaction on - A response to Arnold Schwarzenegger by Maryana Naumova / Ответ Арнольду Шварценеггеру . Thank You!

Watch answer to Arnold Schwarzenegger video...Russian American speaking on the Russian Ukrainian war...real eye opener

World cup England vs USA in Nov 2022 in Qatar. Now the blokes hate America... (90% of of the folks here have no clue what i am talking about its such a minor sport.) In 1950 USA beat England in the World Cup. Google it. I think USA needs another decade before we can take on England in their national sport.

Being a former Logistics/Embarkation guy myself I knew Logistics would be Russias weakness...190,000 men seems like alot but if they are 190,000 straight up assault troops then who the hells gonna supply them, if Logistics guys and support forces were included then it's more like 60,000 assault troops which isn't enough to conquer a nation of 40 million especially broken up into 3 different prongs of assault...Logistics have dictated empires, with the blokes being British, you are well aware Britain never had the best or largest Army in the world during The Empire Days but with the Royal Naval ensuring routes stay open, a small professional army could be shuttled to and fro to deal with threats where they occurred, America, China, India, Europe, Africa, didn't matter, British Logistics keep guys fighting and supplied anywhere the Navy could reach, Putins Logistics are having a hard time reaching troops in a neighboring country.

something i feel bad for is the mindset of the russian soldiers, they were sent to the border to do exercises and were told to enter the country or tehy would be tried for treason, in their minds they're liberating Ukraine as lied to by their superiors

Wendover productions and Half as Interesting are great channels created by the same content creator Sam. Check out more of his stuff. He makes the mundane interesting and he makes the interesting more complex.

Excellent content and discussion

In April 2021, within three weeks, two armies and three airborne units were successfully transferred to the western borders of the Russian Federation in the areas of combat training tasks. If we consider that the sun never sets over Russia, then this is a very good result. In Russia, there really never is a night all over the country. If it's morning somewhere, then it's night at the other end. And vice versa. The question of such a rapid transfer of troops is only expediency . This is not required for Ukraine, there is a limited contingent fighting there and not a single army in full strength.

Corruption needs to be removed they did not want the easy way

I think Russia just launched a competitor to KZfaq called RuTube. I don't speak Russian so I can't understand it but you can translate the descriptions to English and it's pretty interesting to read the state owned media info.

Do Russia's nukes even still work? Do they even maintain them? I feel like maybe not.

Love the longer videos guys

React to oscars Will Smith's vs Chris Rock

Just goes to show you that Russia if in a fight against nato Russia will lose badly against nato, as Russian military technology and readiness is no comparison to nato l.

The correct pronunciation is Kiv. We no longer use the English version of many cities-Mumbai is no longer Bombay, Calcutta is no longer used, etc. Qatar is pronounced “cutter.” It is a recognition of how it is actually pronounced. On aside, totally agree with Daz about France-they often whore themselves to what is in their best interest rather than standing up for others. It is quite disappointing. Ukraine is the biggest agricultural producer in Europe as well as rich in minerals.

The legendary founder of the city, about 1500 years ago, was called Kiy. In Slavic languages, the ending of the word "-ov", "-ev", "-iv" denotes belonging to something. For example, Ivanov is the son of Ivan, Chernigiv is the city of Chernig (prince of either the end of the 8th century or the first half of the 9th century). Kyiv - on behalf of Kiy. The language of the 9th-12th centuries differs from the modern languages ​​​​of the Eastern Slavs, therefore the Ukrainians have Kyiv, and the Russians have Kiev. In fact, Kiy + "-iv" or "-ev" or -"ov" (Kijow - in Polish, Kyjev - in Czech). We will never know how the city was called Polyans (Slavic tribe ruled by Kiy) about 1500 years ago.

Hey blokes, Jxmmyhighroller has a new video on the Lebron vs. MJ GOAT debate that's really well done. Think yall would enjoy it

Have these guys seen the John Oliver Last Week Tonight videos on FIFA being a disaster?

This Ukraine invasion is a lot like the Soviet invasion of Finland in 1939. They won that war but got completely embarrassed in the process.

Speak The Truth , review guys . You won't be disappointed in the least . In fact , I'm willing to bet you will be very surprised.

Wars today are so civil. I feel we have gone back to colonial or pre-colonial war. I wish no war on anyone, but any country could decimate any country (or each other) by actually going to war. Russia could of dropped 5-10 tactical nukes and the war would of been over. The entire planet would of retaliated, but wars are now fought by winning hearts and minds.

You guys should definitely make a video on Russia's human rights issues like you mentioned. It's atrocious Edit: and also you're right Daz. If Russia has no nukes, they could be invaded and would have barely any ability to counter other than numbers. They could be pushed out of Ukraine in months.

Guys: Kyiv is the Ukraine pronunciation - Kiev is the Russian pronunciation. And their radio system? They have an encrypted communication system, but it's cr*p and doesn't work very well. That's why they had to make radio and phone calls "in the clear" - which is intercepted by Ukraine. Two or more Russian generals are dead because of that - not to mention a lot of regular Russian soldiers.

5:42 Is that the "stars & bars" flag, minus the stars? Whose flag is that?

New policy - Asian Russia = Russia, European Russia = New Ukraine.

43:00. China has been doing that Years before you ate your first Ginger Snaps Dave. United States President Richard Nixon Opened China Commerce to the west in the early 1970s.

Did you guys see the Oscars?!! Please react to it.. it was insane

Great video and banter, blokes

the sound llevels are off, you guys are too low, the video is too high

LOL Daz is just worried about Chicken Kyiv now.

It's Kyiv, not "Kiev", because our native language is ukrainian. And "Kiev" it's on russian

France has already surrendered! 🤣😂

The only aspect I would disagree with here is that Russia resorted to attacking civilians and its scorched earth policy only after it was "backed into a corner." Russia employed the exact same tactics in Syria--bombing hospitals, and even using biological weapons against civilians--and essentially that war, as well as their excursion into the Donbas, were practice runs for the full invasion of Ukraine. If Zelensky had fled Kyiv and UKR had just rolled over in the first few days, maybe it wouldn't have happened, but Russia was bombing maternity wards and sending cruise missiles into office buildings within the first week.

Shout out to Dave for the LGBTQ reference.

It's because Turkey plays both sides so isn't really a European/Western ally despite being part of NATO somehow (Basically just because NATO needed a safe home somewhere in the middle-east, to counter Soviet influence and aid in repelling any attack on NATO. The most important asset, is the NATO airbases in Turkey which have seen tons of use in the middle-east and Eastern European conflicts and interventions. A NATO airbase in Turkey is also one of the few homes of US Nuclear weapons outside the US, with aircraft nuclear bombs and air launched Nuclear cruise mssiles stored under guard in case something bad enough happens that we need to use and also share our nukes with NATO allys.) An example of Turkeys questionable loyalty was them picking Russia's S-400 Air Defense System, because of its great performance and critically, Obama kept stalling on selling them the US made Patriot Air Defense System. This resulted in the US kicking Turkey out of the NATO F-35 Program, their pilots training in the US told to leave, and their economic and material role in manufacturing parts for the plane removed and being redistributed to Germany. 2 F-35's were already delivered to Turkey, but not the rest with some given to Greece instead. Think the US refunded Turkeys money put into the F-35 and bought back or at least tried to get back the 2 already in Turkey. Unfortunately they already have the F-35 data since they were a key member of the program which could be shared to or stolen by Russia, and is likely being used for Turkeys new "indigenous" 6th gen stealth fighter to "beat the F-35" (Turkey's also a big weapons manufacturer in NATO). This also pissed the turks off as another reason also questioning their loyalty, their conflict and border disputes with their NATO "Ally" Greece... apparently Article 5 doesn't include conflicts between NATO members, only outsider attacks against NATO members. Turkey and the US also back warring factions in the Syrian Civil War, with Turkey declaring the US backed faction "terrorists". The most recent example is Israel/Hamas, when the Turkish president declared that Israel responding to Hamas's attack on them was "Genocide" against Palestinians and if no one else would help, they "would" if Israel crossed into Gaza to root out Hamas, ya know, the Terrorist organization and self-appointed dictators of the Palestinian Gaza strip. (IIRC they've also been denounced by the "technical" government that's supposed to run and lead Palestine, but ignored by all the fanatics with all the guns and rockets so there's not much they can do). Meanwhile the US has an aircraft carrier group parked off the coast of Israel, and have pledged to defend them in the case that someone opens a second front against them. This was mainly meant to tell Hezbollah in Lebanon and Houthi's in Yemen to "sit", but could also now result in war between Turkey and the US if Turkey attacks Israel for defending themselves from further Hamas attacks, and we intervene to defend Israel like we recently just did with a USN ship shooting down some Yemen/Houthi Missiles fired towards Israel). (Another reason for Turkey being allowed in NATO is probably NATO needed said airbases AND IRBM missile fields/sites in Turkey as part of their planned defense against the Soviet Union and Com-Bloc/Warsaw-Pact countries. For instance a little known fact is part of the Cuban missile crisis was that the US had IRBM's in Turkey, Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles that close to the Soviets gave them an extremely short time for "Early Warning" in a first strike scenario compared to ICBM's from the US or aircraft bombs/missiles which alarmed the Soviets more than expected, so the Soviets put their own IRBM's in Cuba creating the same issue for the US. Part of the de-escalation ending the Cuban Missile Crisis not widely publicized at the time, was JFK quietly agreeing to remove our Missiles in Turkey if they removed theirs from Cuba.)

Its only one view on the issue and therefore the reaction is only one sided, nof objective at all.

I'm not personally military but I think this shows a big reason why we in the US are so good at war and why we've only lost wars where the opponent was a guerilla force. It's not just having the best tech, it's getting it to where it needs to be that leads to victory. And the US has always been great at that and Russia has historically been awful at it.

I've been waiting for you guys to react to something related to this.

Slava Ukraini !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing is: America has been fighting wars CONSTANTLY since the Cold War. Vietnam, Korea, Desert Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia.... We have the constant experience, evolution, strategy, heuristics, logistics. What's Russia done since the 80's? Take Crimea in 2014? They're clueless. They're spending money on nukes, nuclear delivery systems. They've no idea about maintenance, discipline, command, strategy, logistics. This is the second downfall of Russia (considering the USSR as the first).

Really liked this video Dave you just said you been to barons quay in northwich and seen the big unit under the cinema that’s been made in to a donation centre for you Ukraine. I’m the manager of the H&M store there and a massive fan you all have kept me going through lockdown’s and everything else if your that close come in so I can get a selfie or I will even buy a pint.

Disappointing to me the the US won’t commit to tanks or planes but that is the kind of thing Putin will use to further justify the war which makes it tricky. We have a large Ukrainian and Russian population here in Washington State and overwhelmingly both sides are against this, many left the USSR to escape it.

Watch “Putin’s war on Ukraine, explained” by the channel Vox it explains some of the plans and history behind this war.

Putin is like Humpty Dumpty trying to put the Soviet Union back together.

I believe the lad on the far right has no clue in what his talking about. The administration in turkey is the worse in its history but they have helped ukraine more than all the countries combined i suggest him to do some research before talking sarcastically with a smug face, ignorance is bliss!

top episode here guys!

What is the difference between the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israeli invasion of Palestine and the American invasion of Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq?

Didn't Russia need them Siberians' help in WWII when the Germans tried to invade??? Siberia=The REAL Winter Soldier(s)

Daz is absolutely right about Macron.

It's a bit weird that you made such a big thing out of the name. "It was always Kiev" because Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union used the Russian version of the name, Kiev, and not the Ukrainian version, Kyiv. It was called chicken kiev and dynamo kiev because the Soviet Union was around when these terms started to appear. There's no big mystery to it.

Ok, I get that you guys have been in competition with the French over centuries, but seriously, the surrender jokes about a country that mastered partisan resistance definitely falls flat, and it's Germany, Italy, India and China who are continuing to trade for Russian oil at the moment. Come on, y'all are better than that

Faik

Kiev is russian version of spelling. Kyiv is ukrainian. We (ukrainians) joke that only this damn war (or more like full scale attack) made most english speakers to use actually ukrainian versions of our names. Which we have been requesting for ages.

actually in 2006, the usa changed all the english names to their actual real names, like kiev to kyv and in 2019 the name kiev was disbanded as an alternative name making kyv the sole name.

Imagine getting your News from Facebook...

1st pound 50

It hasn't been "Kiev" for years. It changed to "Kyiv" some time ago.

So much of this stuff is incorrect

So… in other words….Russia Vs. America on our land would be the same as an average high school teen fighting a college sports pro jock.

From my understanding Kyiv is the Ukranian (correct) spelling Kiev is Russian/USSR spelling

I've been a fan of your show guys.. but boy you guys know nothing do you?

Sorry Ruskies, it's not as easy as the US makes it look, is it? Put this invasion side by side versus the Iraq invasion. The scale of the Russian invasion is LAUGHABLY inadequate. They didn't even send enough troops to overwhelm the numbers of the Ukrainians, let alone their inept supply line and logistics. (Yes, I understand the humanitarian side of this is no joke.)

Kyiv 100%

That wasn't a vacuum bomb. It was a failed nuclear power battery for one of their secret super sonic nuclear powered missiles. Its a broom with a battery practically

I wish the best for ukraine but I'm 100% certain at the end of this unless nato intervenes russia will probably take ukraine, ukraine doesn't have enough firepower and men to fight off russia, it's the sad truth.

Kiev is the Russian name for the capital of Ukraine and Kyiv is the name in Ukrainian. From what I know, everyone in Ukraine is able to Russian and Ukrainian, and the westernized Ukrainians, who want to join the free-western nations, have decided to use the Ukrainian name of their capital in order to distance themselves from their Russian controlled passed.

The Russian military was never strong before n today ,, they do the same way in the WW2 today as well,, don't you think the reason why they lost so many soldier During WW2 n today too,, because they always used thier man like a shield running toward the bullets ...
