Let's be honest, Poland is not the only country in the world that has provided aid to Ukraine. It is enough to mention the Baltic countries, which provided Ukraine with 50% of their military budget and most of all their military equipment. Slovakia gave the most valuable thing in this war, the S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems. Well, if it weren't for the USA and Britain aid, the russian troops would have been near Przemyśl a long time ago. As for helping refugees, Poland is in a big profit, because most of them are already working and paying taxes.

@Kronosfobi 8 ай бұрын

Anti-air ground defenses had some trouble getting rid of the drones until some Russians realised a jammer works far better than bullets in stopping said drones. Which made those defenses easy targets to Ukrainan troopers. So now Russian commanders needed to create pockets of defenses around said jammers to prevent drone bombardment. Which forces said units to stand still instead of attacking or reinforcing other units. Which results in Russia moving in artillery in said pockets to bomb cities and trenchlines. *Which* results in Ukrainian counter-offense. Drones cant win you a war, but they were pretty damn good at forcing a change of strategy towards Ukrainian favor.

@@jxfwliz5ldnheegRussia's VDV units paradropped into Hostomel to secure the airfield and allow forces to come in by aircraft. They successfully secured the airport but to prevent the use of it Ukraine shelled the runway. Because of that the VDV became trapped as Ukrainian forces closed in. The battle was short as they were surrounded on all sides. Unfortunately during the battle, the Antonov An-225 Mriya, the largest aircraft in the world was destroyed by Russian bombing. The VDV was wiped out, which was devastating for Russia. That was their elite forces. It's safe to say that if Ukraine didn't sacrifice the airfield's capabilities over the potential advantage of recapturing it intact, Russian reinforcements could've arrived and overran Kyiv once the main forces arrived. Ukraine's victory at Hostomel was crucial to their continued fighting in the war.

9:38 For more context for this number, western governments have very rarely spent actual money on aid packages to Ukraine. The majority of them are just taking weapons from stockpiles and sending them over, and the 'XX million dollars' on the package is actually the cost of the weapons when the military originally acquired them, whether that's from 2020, 2000, 1980, etc. So if you're worried about the government spending too much money on Ukraine, trust me, it's not NEARLY as bad as you think. Especially compared to actual military or federal budgets.

Russia has thrown away the lives thousands of promising young men from both Russia and Ukraine, dooming them to a pointless, miserable death in the trenches on the Eastern Front. In his vain attempt to deter N.A.T.O. 'aggression', he has instead inspired them to be more precocious, with Finland joining N.A.T.O. and Lithuania blockading Kaliningrad. Not even to mention the brigade of sanctions making life progressively worse for Russian citizens. Putin has also started a civil war. An I'm not even exaggerating, the failed Wagner coup and the Russian Volunteer Corp and Freedom of Russia Legion raiding Russian military bases WOULD, by definition, be a civil war.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” -Sun Tzu Putin underestimated Ukraine and overestimated his own forces at the start of this war. Which can be seen in the small size of his invasion force, the expectation that Ukraine would fold in days, and the lack of supply for that invasion force when Ukraine did not fold. Because of that initial failure this war is built on he is now struggling in every battle and has basically trapped himself in a war that he does not have a winning strategy for.

@@AaSs-ln9mm weither Putin can hold them remains to be seen. Russia has already lost 2 provinces and the biggest city that was captured (Kherson). They are also losing military leaders very quickly. Regardless of if he does achieve minimal land gains he has lost a lot of influence and power on the international stage. His army before the war was seen as the second strongest in the world and now it is seen as weak and with little strategic thinking skills. Economically many European countries depended on Russia for natural gas and oil now that source of stable revenue is gone. NATO is now stronger then it has ever been with Finland and soon to be Sweden joining it. Before the war Ukraine had a large portion of its nation that favored stronger ties with Russia the war has burned that and United the nation against Russia. Putin has lost 10’s of thousands of troops and Millions of dollars in military equipment. Any one of these make his land gains costly, all of them make the gains not worth it.

That said the way that SupaSillyThyme said it comes across a little weird and almost obsessively. I'd agree with you, if it wasn't for the context of them thanking Armchair for his work and the good it brings to the world in terms of education and understanding.
