Since the upheaval in 2014, Ukraine has not found peace. The bloody battle for Bachmut is the latest sad climax of the conflict between Russia and Western states. Why did this war break out, and what lies ahead for Ukraine, Russia, and the West?
On May 12, 2023, renowned political scientist John J. Mearsheimer came to Germany at the invitation of Max Otte to speak about the Ukrainian crisis. His lecture covered the following four topics:
1. The reasons for the Ukrainian war.
2. Who will win the war?
3. Prospects for a diplomatic solution.
4. What will the future relationship between Russia and the West look like?
In this video, you can see Max Otte's introductory speech as well as John J. Mearsheimer's full lecture. In the last part of the video, Mr. Mearsheimer and Mr. Otte discussed questions by the audience moderated by Jasmin Kosubek (‪@JasminKosubekOriginal‬).
Soon, on Max Otte's video channel, you will be able to watch another conversation between the two in which the topics were further explored.
Mearsheimer is the Chair of International Relations at the University of Chicago. His notable books include "The Tragedy of Great Power Politics" (2001), "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy" (2007), and "Why Leaders Lie: The Truth About Lying in International Politics" (2011). Mearsheimer is considered the leading advocate of the so-called realist school of thought in international relations, which aims for a balance of interests between states.
Mearsheimer gained attention from the general public through his comments on U.S. foreign policy. He criticized U.S. influence in Ukraine starting in 2014. His lecture titled "Why is Ukraine the West's Fault?" from 2015 has already been viewed 29 million times on KZfaq alone: • Why is Ukraine the Wes...

Seit dem Umsturz im Jahr 2014 kommt die Ukraine nicht mehr zur Ruhe. Der blutige Kampf um Bachmut ist der jüngste traurige Höhepunkt der Auseinandersetzung zwischen Russland und den westlichen Staaten. Warum ist dieser Krieg ausgebrochen und wie geht es weiter für die Ukraine, Russland und den Westen?
Der berühmte Politikwissenschaftler John J. Mearsheimer kam am 12. Mai 2023 auf Einladung von Max Otte nach Deutschland, um über die Ukrainekrise zu referieren.
Sein Vortrag umfasst die folgenden vier Themen:
1. Die Gründe für den Ukrainekrieg
2. Wer wird den Krieg gewinnen?
3. Aussichten auf eine diplomatische Lösung
4. Wie wird die Beziehung zwischen Russland und dem Westen in Zukunft aussehen?
In diesem Video sehen Sie die Einführungsrede von Max Otte sowie den Vortrag von John J. Mearsheimer in voller Länge. Im letzten Teil des Videos sehen Sie die Podiumsdiskussion mit Fragen der Gäste, moderiert von Jasmin Kosubek (‪@JasminKosubekOriginal‬ ).
Auf dem Videokanal von Max Otte können Sie in Kürze ein weiteres Gespräch zwischen John Mearsheimer und Max Otte sehen, in dem die Themen weiter vertieft wurden.
Mearsheimer ist Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Internationale Beziehungen an der University of Chicago. Zu seinen vielbeachteten Büchern gehören The Tragedy of Great Power Politics (2001), The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy (2007) und Why Leaders Lie: The Truth About Lying in International Politics (2011). Mearsheimer gilt als wichtigster Vertreter der sogenannten realistischen Denkschule der Internationalen Beziehungen, die auf einen Interessenausgleich zwischen Staaten abzielt.
Der breiten Öffentlichkeit wurde Mearsheimer nicht zuletzt auch durch seine Kommentare zur US-amerikanischen Außenpolitik bekannt. So kritisiert er den US-Einfluss in der Ukraine ab 2014.

I agree with almost everything the professor says.I only disagree with the term decisive victory that he uses. Destroying the ukrainian army, securing that Ukraine wont join NATO and annexing the areas that will be conquering after the war is a decisive victory for Russia. That are the aims that they have set before the beginning of the war. I would also add that if Putin had imperial aspirations would have already annexed Belarus and conquered the whole Georgia back in 2008. These are all nonsense by the western media to keep the audience on war mode. The only thing that the russians want from us europeans is to respect their national security concerns and business.

@jessiejb4684 Жыл бұрын

Well said. Also the Russian parliament (Duma) gave Putin the power to use the military in Ukraine in 2014. He could’ve taken whatever he wanted of Ukraine at that time, instead, following Crimea referendum Putin took Russia’s soldiers away from the Ukraine border and the duma rescinded those war powers. This was while the civil war in Donbas was kicking off and while the violently ousted president of Ukraine was proclaiming a coup was waged against him, meaning that Russia would’ve had a persuasive argument for military intervention at that time in particular.

@@VSP4591 Apart from being quiet, you must also consider that Mearsheimer is a supporter of Bernie Sanders which places him to the Left of US politics. So, not only he refuses to comply with the stereotype of the University of Chicago academics being overwhelmingly on the side of Biden (whose supporter John is clearly not) but he also has immense courage as a realist to frame issues the way mostly right conservatives do (John is as Anti-Trump as you can get). So here you have a clear voice, unshackled by the usual partisan rhetoric, that uses reason and science as his guiding principles which is the very definition of being a classical Greek. In that sense, John is very much a European scholar who happens to live in America.

Russia didn't even have 190,000 troops as most people think about it. They had 56,000 soldiers in combat units, this according to the CIA and it's in Wikipedia in the order of battle. they had 70 brigade tactical groups. those are 800 men when at establishment. the rest of the soldiers near Ukraine were truck drivers, nurses, email pushers, for lift operators, hospital attendants, cooks, janitors, etc. This is a typical ratio, called tooth to tail. It's often near 3-1 for a modern army. so maybe 190k total soldiers, but only 56,000 are actually fighters. That's not even enough to occupy Kiev, nevermind the rest of Ukraine. Let me give you two examples of this. in 1991 when America attacked sadam hussein in kuwait we brought 270,000 total combat forces and the total size of the armies in the middles east were supporting was over 1,000,000 men. And that wasn't even an invasion force. That was just to kick them out of Kuwait. then in the 2003 Iraqi invasion we had about 127,000 combat troops and a total army size of about 500,000. That of course turned out to be not near enough to even garrison Iraq and many more combat troops and contractors had to be brought in to garrison it later. but still they had 3x the combat troops Russia did and Iraq was half the size and had 40% of the population.

@lightcable Жыл бұрын

You just proved the point that Prof JM made - Putin has no intention to conquer Ukraine. Before the invasion, Zelenskyy's approval rate was ~30% max. People forgot that back in time Zelenskyy wasn't a hero portrayed by the western medias. Ukrainians weren't happy and Zelenskyy was struggling to win the re-election. Russia was betting Ukrainians saw their invasion was aimed to Zelenskyy's government but not the Ukrainians. This is the only explanation the Russians dared to only use such a small sized troop for the invasion. Of course their bet went horribly wrong. They terribly underestimated the power of hypernationalism. When Russia attacked the Ukrainian government, Ukrainians couldn't distinguish this was just targeted to Zelenskyy's government. The Ukrainians saw this an invasion to their homeland. It ignited hypernationalism. I don't blame the Ukrainians. They rightfully defend their country. I do blame Zelenskyy and his government to bring Ukraine into chaos. One consequence of hypernationalism in Ukraine after Orange Revolution is the Russian speaking Ukrainians were marginalized. They had no option but developed dependency to Russia which planted the seed of the current war. Even worse, the current war wiped out an entire generation of young Ukrainians. I know that it is too early to predict what history will say about Zelenskyy. But I am willing to put money he won't be cited as a national hero.

The Americans have a vested interest in a weak Europe. It is the same concept in old Europe, where a king requires all of its lords to maintain armies, but none of the armies can be strong enough to challenge the king. It is simple, NATO is necessary because there must not be a European army that does not answer directly to Washington, for if the Europeans had its own army, listening to its own leaders, pursuing its own interests, then America would lose its leverage in Europe immediately. It would also mean that the Europeans and Russians would be able to settle the Ukraine issue with the Russian army and European army being joint security guarantors. It means that there would be no incentive to blow up nord-stream. It means that there would be no real compulsion to force Europe to participate in American follies like Iraq or Afghanistan, because Europeans would be self sufficient in its own security, where as the Americans can always threaten the European leaders with 'defunding NATO' if the European leader did not go along. For this security arrangement, Europe effectively can rely on American military spending in NATO and save some money, but at the cost of its own soveriegnty. At the same time, these American escapades has cost Europe greatly, because every failed adventure in the middle east means more hatred, more terrorism, more refugees, more shame and diplomatic hypocrisy on the world stage. No Iraqi, no Libyan or Syrian is going to walk to America, but they can all cross the chanel or walk into Europe to seek asylum from the countries that is a part of the alliance that ruined their economy and killed their leader. China wants to see a stronger Europe, a richer Europe, because China is looking to diversify selling consumer goods to America, and Europe must remain rich and strong to be capable of soaking up all the supply. It is for this reason that China is trying desperating to extend its belt and roads railway from North Korea to Spain, and it is for this reason why China is trying to speak to as many European leader as they can, to stop going along with America in antagonising Russia, Serbia, Iran, and just get along and do business. If China does not accomplish this, Europe would just be by passed and China would seek alternatives in the global south, like Vietnam, Laos, and all the way to Africa. Worse still, if the European leaders does not grow a spine, and shift from trying to encircle Russia to cutting off the Chinese trade iniatives, then perpare yourselves. If you think the Russian army raise from a population of 150 million people can withstand combined NATO intervention in Ukraine, then wait and see what the People's Liberation Army will look like raised from a population of 1.5 billion people with mandatory military service for all their males.

@JM-vh7oc Жыл бұрын

Your last paragraph is very ominous but afraid likely

@the1onlynoob Жыл бұрын

@@JM-vh7oc Sometimes, China and its leadership is too serious for its own good. During the cold war, when Americans planned a nuclear exchange with the USSR and China as a threat/bluff to get its way, Chairman Mao famously delivered a speech which was named 'the Chinese people cannot be cowed by the atomic bomb'. In this speech, Mao explicitly say that violence is the last resort of empires and each time excessive violence is used, the world shifts left. He points out that the first world war produced the USSR, the second world war ended the British empire and created the entire left wing movement that saw revolutions across the world (including China), and if the capitalist class resort to another world war, then they would have no where else left to exploit once the mushroom cloud settles. He also explicitly said that in a nuclear exchange, there would be hundreds of millions of casualties on all sides, but the cohesiveness of the CPC and Chinese people will rebuild their country, and he trusts the anarchy of capitalism will turn America into post apocolyptic hellscape like mad max. He also walked the walk. Until about 1970 and the detente, US had nuclear missiles deployed in Taiwan, on its bases in Japan and South Korea. The exact numbers are unknown, but it should be noted that these deployment of nuclear weapons are only 80-130km off the Chinese mainland, and minutes flight to major population centres. But this did not prevent China from resisting America in Korea, assisting Vietnam, etc, or pursuing policies against American interests in the region in sake of independence. Like he said, China was prepared for and also not intimidated by nuclear weapons. Today's China is much stronger and I'd wager it would similarly trust in the spirit of its long civilisation. This means that China would not easily be provoked to start a military campaign, but it also means China is not easily intimidated into concessions and retreats. The other thing is that China has a much larger manufacturing base, and much more direct control over its factories from the government. Their officials can 'direct' the factories to cease on profit making and instead to produce for 'the greater good'. Today, close to 60% of all merchandise on amazon are made in China. Almost everything from covid masks, to pet toys, to electronics parts, etc are all dominated by China. War is all about logistics and resources. If Iran can supply 10000 suicide drones to Russia to be used in Ukraine, then if necessary, it is entirely possible that China can reverse engineer these drones and manufacturing them in the millions easily. If the Russians can make 2-3 million artillery rounds in a year, then China can probably do close to 10x that without general mobilisation. There has been satellite photographs of their shipyards building 4 destroyers simultaneously at the same dock. While keep in mind that they exceeded the US navy in terms of ships when they only started really investing their navy less than 20 years ago. Last year, when Pelosi visited Taiwan, they mobilised close to 300,000 troops in 24 hours (Russian's operation in Ukraine started with 160,000 troops), and they held almost 20 fleets of ships doing live fire exercises around Taiwan for a week while launching missiles and firing shells non-stop 24 hours a day. JUST AS A GESTURE, they could afford to waste that much ammunition. Not to mention, when America withdrew from the IMF treaty, China expanded their nuclear arsenal and has been photographed building missile silos 70-80 silos at a time. It really doesn't matter if their missiles only hit 10% of the time if they have tens of thousands of missiles. They alone account for 20% of human population on this planet. The entire G7 is about 8%. Its not a fight we should contemplate and it is not one we should win even if we could. Better to make friends and live let live.

@@stuartwray6175 Thank you for that information Mr. Wray. The housing shortage is an issue in Canada as well. I believe that affordable housing is an issue in the United States. I used to think that quantitative easing was the culprit, as it eventually led to low mortgage rates, and thus to lower monthly payments for a given house price, and then to higher house prices. Then I learned that regulation compliance is a major source expenditure in housing construction, at least in Canada and the United States. Perhaps this is also a factor in Germany. I don't know if the increased cost is paperwork or simply better quality construction. I think education is an issue in most countries. The economic return is so far down the road, and learning itself is hardly valued at all. The only reason that primary and secondary school teachers get (or used to get) decent pay in Canada is unionization. At the university level it is also a downhill slope. While private businesses "flattened the pyramid" in the 90s, universities hired middle managers to improve "production". Production being students "satisfied" and number of articles published in a set list of journals. "Quality control" means that many new professors are stuck teaching standardized materials far from their research -teaching from a book or PowerPoint slides instead of "professing" what they know. I am only aware of what has happened in 3 countries regarding universities, so it may not be worldwide. People in most countries admire the vocational system in Germany, in the belief that more people learn useful skills.

What America did when it colonized was to put into power the most ethno-extremist group from Galicia. They are the ones forcing their definition of Ukrainian on the rest of the area.

Later, as Zelensky betrayed his electorate and reverted his electoral promises 180 degrees the polls showed a drop to the miserable 11% approval rating.

I fully agree with both professors. One 1 correction. The populationratio is not 1 to 5 but 1 to 7. During the period 2014-2022 already 10 million Ukrains have left for good. They were mostly relatively young, highly educated people with better chances elswhere. In 2022 Ukraine was already de facto bankrupt and a failed state. The reason many people didn't know this is because the Ukraine government deliberately stopped to count the population since 2014. Many left to Russia, the EU, The US and Canada. In 2016 opened the EU the gates to Nirvana and granted all Ukrainians a free ride into the EU, without a visa and without control. The EU depleted Ukraine and took away the most talented people and caused a demographic disaster for Ukraine. When the war started the total population was about 30 million and then 12 million left or were citizins of the newly annexed Russian oblasts. I estimate the current population between 18 and 20 million.

They tried it in the 90's to disastrous effect from selling their economy to western interests at which time they lost control of it. There population has declined but they have lived in a relatively stable and technologically advanced society for over 20 years. During the 90's, however, when they changed to an unregulated market economy Russia became dysfunctional as a state and culture. Anyway it didn't work in Iran, Afghanistan, Libya, or Vietnam.

Prof Mearsheimer always presents data and facts unvarnished. I am hoping Prof. Mearsheimer is wrong about the possibility of a shooting conflict between USA and China (something he had mentioned in his lecture at Uni of Chicago in 2015). Great intellectual to listen to and learn from. I wish politicians in charge of these situations listened to him.

If there is a shooting conflict USA v China, it will be USA making the first shot before China has been seating on their hands since Trump became US President. If it does happen, it will be of US misjudgment or fake news, for this time, it would be on China home ground. One must not forget the Korean conflict.

If Professor Mearsheimer is right, and giving the matter some thought that does not, to me at any rate, seem impossible, then we (Westerners) have over the past, say, twenty years been led by a group of incredible idiots. I think it was also Prof, Mearsheimer who said that in the powerplay of great nations there is no room for the consideration of the human suffering caused by their actions. That may be so, but spare a thought for the immense suffering inflicted on the Ukrainian population (more on Russian speakers than on the rest) by the above mentioned incredible idiots. Perhaps Mr Lukashenko was wiser than the rest, he may have had to kowtow to Russia, but the Belarussians' houses are still standing and his people are still alive and not uprooted. Just a thought.

I appreciate the point about desperation leading to risky strategies as a way to warn that the Russians might do something that is high risk/high reward. I would like to point out that when the US stopped exporting to Japan, it was a punitive strategy to try to convince the Japanese to stop their efforts to secure Manchuria and China. The Japanese war in China was an incredible shit show of unimaginable brutality. Yes, the US did create a desperate Japan, but only after the Japanese decided to secure an empire by force using imported goods to fuel it's war machine.

And the Americans are also a bunch of hypocrites. When they expanded westwards (manifest destiny) to create their western hegemony, they brutalized the american indians along the way.

It's more than a little late, but what would have happened had Ukraine moved towards democracy, but renounced joining NATO, accorded Russian-speakers full respect of their language and culture, and offered demilitarization of Crimea and the Russian-majority east in exchange for Russian recognition of their sovereignty?

@ApolloBeatzOfficial Жыл бұрын

Exactly that is what Cocraine f@...ked up! Russia respected their sovereignty for all these years, since the fall of the Soviet Union, until the bloody and illegal government coup of 2014 took place, and then it took Crimea that was all the time autonomous from Kiev and wanted to be part of Russia since it's first referendum in 1991. But that wasn't enough for them, they thought that bombing their own regions that wanted an autonomy aswell, and force them by that nice action to stay under Kiev's control, was a good idea! The outcome we see right now! So the answer is obvious, they just f@...ked it up, with the support of US. There is no Ukraine anymore! One third of it's lands are bought up and in hands of US globalists. The totally corrupt country can't and won't be able to ever pay it's debts back, so it's basically bankrupt, but ok, it still would be kept alive by the western masters, as the enslaved population would sill be good for something. And the regions with the most natural resources and hard working people, are actually in the eastern part and are mostly russian. And you can guess it by yourself if these regions will ever want to live in Cocraine after they were bombed and terrorised for long 8 years by the illegal nazi-regime in Kiev. Easy thing The rest of the bandera Cocraine you got there, the western part, has not as much of natural resources and heavy industry that feeds a whole country and it's GDP. Instead, they sell everything they can, their land, their woods, that were under constitutional protection before the illegal nazi-regime, till they have nothing more to sell. Ukraine? It's no more than just a joke!

His statement that he learned about Japanese motivation to attack Pearl Harbor "in the last twenty years" is damning -- that's incredibly late for an "international relations scholar" born in 1947! At the point that the US cut off exports of scrap metal and oil to Japan, ten years had passed since its seizure of Manchuria and four since the attack on the U.S.S. Panay and the Nanking Massacre.

None the less, we need to take her at her word which destroys all future trust in any agreement happening.

Very insightful speech, great listen. However, I slightly disagree with who the fault lies (if anyone disagrees, id love to hear your reasoning below) Yes, the west is to blame for trying to turn Ukraine into a NATO country. Especially considering the US freaks out whenever China/Russia tried to set up bases in Cuba or wherever. However, at the end of the day, Russia is the one who chose to conduct a full invasion, and as a country, is the one who is directly responsible for the lose of lives on both parts. Sure the West was being difficult, but they never were the ones to initiate any contact. PS i wont defend the US here, just stating my opinion. Honestly this conflict is the School Bully vs the Overprivileged Trust Fund Douchebag. I hate both sides very much lol

No, I don't see that like you and disagree. I am russian, but grew up in Germany, speak fluently German and English, so basically I can take a neutral position. But not in that case where I got a whole lot more details and knowledge about my country and Ukraine since the fall of the USSR. But you don't have to know all that deep. You can study the Ukraine since the ilegal and bloody Maydan coup in 2014 and see all the crimes the new nazi regime made in it's own country, including bombing and terrorising civilians in Donbass and Lughansk regions. Russia tried to solve that conflict diplomaticaly for 8 long years, while the people of Donbass were praying for Russia to help them. In the Minsk agreements participated Germany and France, but Angela Merkel confessed last year that they weren't interested in solving that problem there already was, but just to give time for the nazi regime to prepare and get stronger for a conflict with Russia. Her statement wasn't mass spread in the western media, but still you can google it. So here you go, you can openly and officially blame Germany and France for bringing that conflict to the escalation, where Scholz continues escalation with playing dangerous games with Moldova, where part of it wants to be allies with Russia. But all that is just because they are no more then US bitches, and do it in the interests of US, and the globalists who stand behind the US government. But in the end, all they are suffering more then gaining something out of that situation.

@@motionpotionsauce Thank you too for your response. It's refreshing to have a normal conversation with people from the west, while my german classmates and friends can't talk with me on that subject that openly. However, you mentioned that western media doesn't tell much about the bloody Maidan coup in 2014. I can give you a link to a KZfaq video where a german professor tries to position these illegal bloody crimes as the best thing that happened in Europe since the French revolution. I am aware of that some western Ukrainians were happy about that coup, and the new regime, where they could openly revive bandera and nazi ideology. But exactly that brought Ukraine to split apart. Some regions asked after the coup for autonomy from Kiew, like Crimea already was since 1991-1992... But the new illegal president didn't spend a lot of time in negotiations and dialogs, but started his war campaign against these regions! He bombed and terrorized the civilians with his Azov nazi regiments. And it was all clear to anyone who started that armed conflict, it was Poroshenko, but he didn't have an excuse for he's crimes on civilians to the rest of the world, and call them terrorists. Well, until the shooting down of MH17 over Donbass. Poroshenko was the first one to happily call the people of Donbass and Lughansk as terrorists, already within an hour after the tragedy. Kinda suspicious, that the only one who did benefit from that crash was Poroshenko only. I don't know exactly the real case, who did it. But once is for sure, if Donbass army did it, than by mistake. But even that makes no sense, when you saw that they greatly helped the european authorities to get to the crash site and take all the debris, without any hindering. It was totally the other way around, they helped the europeans and secured the region as much as they could from shelling from the Ukrainian side. That's not a behavior of guilty ones or terrorists, so much as I know. However, Poroshenko from then on just called them terrorists, to divert the attention of the real nazi terrorists and justify the war crimes they together did. I mean he had a wonderfully great idea to let these regions stay with Ukraine... by bombing them and do all war crimes on civilians these stupid nazi bastards can do.... It's sarcasm of course, but all that way till 2022 we russians didn't do anything about it. We just saw how the people of Donbass suffered. I personally had an ex-girlfriend from Donbass, but we couldn't do anything to help them over there, back then. But now, all that is the reason why most russians, and me aswell, do support the invasion of Ukraine. Many russians go as volunteers to the front lines, aswell as many Cossacks out of my region I live, in south Russia. But I don't ask anybody to take my or russian side. It's just the case, where people like me will do all possible to stop that shit happen on our people and our brothers again

When he refers to a 'frozen conflict,' it would be interesting to hear John elaborate. How does Ukraine accomplish this when Russia is abundantly capable, by his own account, of pushing Ukrainians entire into Poland and surrounding nations? It would seem to require massive NATO ground forces east of the Dnipro River OR that Russia is unwilling to take and hold the entire country and voluntarily stops at, say, the Dnipro, and bets it can manage (or simply sees this as the best of numerous unpleasant alternatives) a low-level conflict where Ukraine conducts a protracted guerilla war; a problem to be sure, but not an intractable one for Russia, particularly with the Dnipro to the south wide enough to discourage guerilla work and Crimea with its natural protection, the Black Sea. // As for 51:10, it's impossible to see the U.S.'s lunatic aims in Ukraine and as regards Russia as other than a kind of fervent death wish. When rationale analysis concludes that if you get what you want (some or all of Russia out of Ukraine, Russia smashed, Putin tried and executed) or seem likely to achieve those ends, and the chance of nuclear weapons use by Russia therewith soars, then your aims are a madness, self-destructive in the literal extreme. The 'best' case as you, the West, close on realizing your aims might be tactical nuclear weapons used against Ukrainian forces on the verge of entering Crimea, say, and particularly in light of Ukraine's stated aim of assassinating Putin, perhaps against a half dozen key depots and headquarters housing Ukraine's government, effectively decapitating it. I don't doubt current U.S. leadership will be as indifferent to this as they've been to Ukraine's ongoing destruction throughout their proxy war, but that still leaves the problem of decelerating a war gone nuclear. I know John believes that NATO would work to immediately end the conflict should it go nuclear, but NATO may not have a say. Only the U.S. does, finally, and the U.S. may be perfectly willing to accept the risk of a further nuclear exchange if it means Moscow is involved, under the weak assumption that the conflict will remain confined to the continent.

This is wrong. America had 127k combat troops, that is troops in combat units in the 2003 invasion. the total force including support personnel was closer to 500k. and this famously wasn't near enough to garrison iraq. in 2022 Russia had close to 190,000 total soldiers (including support) near the borders with Ukraine, but the CIA said specifically they had just 70 BTGs, battalion tactical groups, and when those BTGS are fully establish they have 800 men. so 56,000 combat troops. so America attacked Iraq with over 2 times the combat troops with complete air supremacy they could even fly chopper close support missions and even then it wasn't enough they had to bring in many more people to garrison the place. And Ukraine was twice the size and 250% of the Iraqs population. Plus they had the 3rd best AD system in the world, america had trained every single officer to nato standards, and they had the best ISR in the world. You can look all this up on the order of battles. This is the 2003 invasion OOB: 1st Marine Division (reinforced)[2] 20k 1st (UK) Armoured Division[2] 16k V Corps (LTG Wallace) 3rd Infantry Division (Mech)[2] 12k US 101st Airborne Division 12k 82nd Airborne Division[2] 16k 4th Infantry Division (Mech) 12k Corps Asset[2] 18k Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force-North (TF Viking)[3] 11k Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force-West (TF Dagger) 10k 127k total Here was Russia's 2022 order of battle using the CIA's most aggressive estimates: Southwestern Belarus estimated strength of 6-7 battalion tactical groups Southeastern Belarus grouping (Kyiv offensive direction): estimated strength of 7-9 battalion tactical groups Bryansk grouping (Chernihiv offensive direction): estimated strength of 3 battalion tactical groups Kursk - Belgorod grouping (Sumy offensive direction): estimated strength of 4 battalion tactical groups Voronezh grouping (Kharkiv offensive direction): estimated strength of 13-14 battalion tactical groups Smolensk grouping (operational reserve of the northern front): estimated strength of 6-7 battalion tactical groups Rostov grouping (Donbas and eastern Sea of Azov offensive direction): estimated strength of 6 battalion tactical groups Crimea grouping (southern Ukraine offensive direction): estimated strength of up to 13 battalion tactical groups Kuban grouping (operational reserve of the southern front): estimated strength of 6 battalion tactical groups The truth is Russia barely brought enough men to take Kiev.

Ukraine sky are so open that Russia have been striking every 48 hours with drone and missile for many months now. Ukraine doesn't even have s-400.

In retrospect we allowed far too many lefties to teach the Germans post WW2. Castrating them culturally was a mistake, brow beating them forever was a mistake (as it was in the Southern US about the Confederacy), because I know Biden is a little too willing to drag us into WW3 and it'd be real nice if Germany, France, and UK were back to at least their Cold War military sizes. The biggest mistake we made was making all these alliances with these tiny countries. Israel and Ukraine have too much interest in trying to drag us into their conflicts. Plus to be honest what is occurring now is Europe is evil. Europeans fought for centuries not to end up under a Muslim anything and that should NEVER occur in Europe. If that means the WEF crowd has to go then I'd rather see a few crazy rich people dead than eating bugs for their entertainment all while they try to replace us with more docile (I mean politically) minorities. The upside of all of this is maybe those oligarch tyrants controlling the West are finally overthrown.
