While Russia focused on science and technology, USA/NATO focused on how to be more Gay.

The greatest lesson of this war? When the West offers help- just say no.

And our PM in Canada yells “ Slava Ukraine “ at the so called peace conference. What a vile miserable creature. He will support Ukraine to the last Ukrainian.

I'm a professional analyst specialising in the DPRK. Been doing it for 40 years now. Some of the things you got right, but you're still looking through Western eyes, so you miss some nuances. They share a border with Russia, embrace the Juche philosophy, and follow old-style communism. Their equipment might look like crap to us, but it's designed as part of an overall structure. They control everything from mining materials to weapon production, using old designs that don't require imported materials. They've been sanctioned so long they've made their society self-sufficient and self reliant. That's the basic Juche philosophy in a nutshell. They actively don't want trade because that trade makes them dependent on others. They know we think their weapons are bad, but they see our weapons as equally unsuitable for their strategy. Their weapons are designed for immediate activation, mobilising the entire population for war. Everyone in their 25 million population is part of the military and government, working together to produce what’s needed. They don't think of those things as being separate. To be a citizen, you are part of the government and military. They are all one thing. They have a system where labour is free because it earns social credit, which is essential for purchasing anything in the DPRK. Without social credit, money is useless. Since they never westernized like Russia, nothing was privatized, and their production facilities remain fully intact. If the go button is pressed, they can produce millions of rounds per month. Their entire nation is built to outproduce the rest of the world (excluding China and Russia) in wartime, which is why they structured their society this way. They can rival modern Russia in arms production because that's their system's advantage. Their population sits in factories, ready to start producing weapons and ammunition from the moment they’re needed. If they get jobs to make other things they will do it but if they get no jobs, they sit there doing nothing just in case they get the order to make shells. The deals they're doing with Russia aren't about what Russia will give them. They'd give Russia anything for free if asked. (that's a much bigger discussion on multi polarity of the 1950's and China's betrayal from their eyes and Russia coming to their aid with nothing asked for in return. What Russia provides them simply changes what they mass-produce. for example, If Russia gives them T-14 design plans and they can manufacture them with their resources, they'll produce them. If Russia limits them to T-50s, then that's what they'll produce. That's their mindset. They don't ask Russia for anything (it would not escalate Un as a great leader) but will take anything Russia gives them. Always remember, they're old 1950s Russian communists who believe in Stalin's saying, "Quantity has a quality all its own." They think a thousand low-quality rounds today are better than one high-quality round tomorrow, and the same goes for tanks and everything else they make. Also, keep in mind the DPRK hasn't mobilised for war production yet. What they're giving Russia now are just spares. Their philosophy is that when the UN and US decide to invade them again, they'll throw everything from stores into battle from day one and keep building 24/7 to swarm their enemies. Think of Russia in the 1940s during WWII to understand their mindset. They have stayed prepared to do this since the 1950's. They have starved millions and had millions die from other things just so they can be sovereign, independent and fully self reliant. The only thing they desperately crave from anyone outside of the DPRK is respect - earned by helping them. This is what motivates the DPRK: No other great leader has been able to pay back the honour debt to Russia for coming to their rescue in the Korean war - from their perspective unasked and unexpected. When Russia could have let them die or demand restrictive things that would have put them in debt for years, they didn't. No great leader has been able to pay back this honour debt because Russia has never needed anyone else - until now. For Un to get back to equality - to be able to stand next to Putin as an equal in DPRK eyes and give them unwavering support, without question, without expectation and without payment required does something that no other Korean leader has ever been able to do. It escalates Un to be the greatest of the great leaders. Right now, he ins't even a great leader, just the leader. That's why payment is kind of shunned by the DPRK - and why they will quickly and easily activate everyone - and I do mean everyone - if Russia asks. But here's the catch. Russia HAS to ask because giving to them if they don't ask for help is also an insult to Russia - so the DPRK will sit there doing nothing until Russia asks. As to why did Un train into Russia? - old style communist and all of their leaders would have done the same. No aircraft. But Putin took an aircraft into Pyongyang and they didn't say a thing. That's how much they feel the honour debt with Russia. They don't feel it with China because they feel that China is their pole leader and their pole leader didn't die to help them reunify the south and didn't support them when they thought they were going to lose it all - there is still anger there. But the fact that Russia, the head of the European (not Asian) pole did what it did has never been forgotten. (also calling them "North Koreans" is a massive insult to them because it implies acceptance of a south Korea - a nation that they do not recognise and consider a US/UN occupied part of their nation) When people think that the relationship between China and the DPRK is a "big boss little subordinate" one - thats one thing they would never accept. They demand being treated as an equal. Truth is, China and Russia know it. The DPRK know that China is their pole leader, Russia is the European pole leader but they have not forgiven China for it's failure during the Korean war to live up to their title as pole leader and have not forgotten Russia stepping in when it was unexpected. The DPRK have zero fear of China - due to their brainwashing and indoctrination. If Un decides to be serious, they can make many times more ammunition and barrels than most people can imagine.

This will go down in the history books as one of the most humane wars in history. Against all expectations and projections by experts, Russia has yet to launch an all out offensive against Ukraine and it's not levelling Ukrainian cities either, only focusing like a laser beam its military attacks on military related Ukrainian targets and doing everything in its powers to avoid civilians casualties unlike the Israelis in Gaza or the US in Iraq, Libya, Vietnam, and Afghanistan, just to name but a few. Even as Russian armored tanks rolled into Kyviv, back in February 2022, at the beginning of the SMO, it quickly pulled back in the aftermath of the Instabul peace conference agreement, which the treacherous West, notably, British PM Boris Johnson, pressured Ukraine to ignore and trash. There's no question that Russia, as a global military superpower, which Zelensky himself has admitted could never be fought and defeated by any single country on this planet, has the military power to reduce the entire Ukraine country into a huge pile of rubles, has consistently been holding back its military offensive in Ukraine. Why is that? The reason for this apparent reluctance to go all out on the offensive and get it over with, in a smoldering blitzkrieg, has been clearly articulated by President Putin himself. He said Russia doesn't consider itself at war with Ukraine as such but rather with the collective West fighting Russia using Ukraine as a proxy. So killing Ukrainian people and decimating the country, which are considered their brothers is a bitter pill that Russia is forced to swallow as a collateral damage. That explains Putin's minimalist approach to the SMO against the pressure from political hawks in Russia to rub out Ukraine and get it over with. That by the way, also explains why the conflict has not yet been elevated into the status of a war by the Russians and remains a low-key SMO. But for how long will Putin hold back on Ukraine? No one knows for sure but one thing for sure: Putin will not hold back forever. With the new peace offer from Putin, however, Ukraine has probably the last chance to head off doomsday scenario of Russian final solution in Ukraine. He has to choose between saving his country or losing it altogether to please his evil mentors in the West.

No one has EVER wanted to talk to Russia. Only talk AT them.

I'm sick of the politicians here in the uk 🇬🇧 and also the warmongers in that awful American Administration.

Now it’s the 14 th set of sanctions, please I’m broke already can the e.u. Just stop? From France!😅

Well, the West chose to decide it on the battlefield. So be it.

Saying there are no nazis in Ukraine is like saying there are no nazis in the Canadian parliament. R.I.P. Gonzalo Lira

Putin visits Vietnam: Why it matters? Like Ukraine, Vietnam borders a great power, China. Unlike Ukraine, Vietnam's leaders understand that it's in their best interest to do business with everyone, not to ally with one and against the other. As a result, one country is prospering and the other is in ruins. I hope they stay the course.

This was one last attempt to stop, now peace will come from victory and when it comes it will come quick.

NATO is not a defensive alliance. They illegally bombed Yugoslavia (direct violation of the UN Charter). We must never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.

Today on Telegram we see the first use of a FAB 3000 bomb. The result was devastating for the target, I believe in the Lyman area. From the drone footage, it was apparent that, for several minutes following the strike, absolutely nothing moved in the large area surrounding the blast center.

❤😊STOP POKING THE BEAR.

Thank you for you work alexander i am gratefull as i am sure are many others. love to truthers.

Russia has a “wide arsenal” of political and economic countermeasures to respond to the potential confiscation of its sovereign assets, including a tit-for-tat seizure of Western property in Russia, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said. Zakharova pointed out that Russia has a “significant” amount of Western funds and property under its jurisdiction. “All of it may be subject to Russian retaliatory policy and retaliatory actions. The arsenal of political and economic countermeasures is wide,” she told reporters at a regular press briefing on Wednesday. - RT

The boarder skirmish between Ukraine and Russia has little to do with NATO and everything to do with the end of Western Hegemony. The only question is how much damage will the failing empire do in it's decline.

I live in the USA and almost all Ukrainans here believe that Ukraine is winning! That's crazy!

Rootin' for Putin. Slava Russia!

Incredible analysis 👍 Thanks

Saying the patriot can shoot down Kinzhal is like saying biden can run up the stairs without stumbling.

Russia to Ukrainian forces “Come on, ‘ave a go, if you fink you’re ‘ard enough” 😮

Ukraine's top negotiator, Ivana Dixonderasse : Russia was prepared to end the war if we agreed to... neutrality, But the US and UK stood in the way

I dont bother with mainstream media now. Weve all had a little taste of freedom listening to unbiased well informed broadcasters like Alexander on the duran.

Alexander, you are a bright light in a very dark time. Thank You

EU conned by US, We could all see it but the politicians couldn't?

Alex...you are one of the most cogent analysts on the web and I respect your analysis.

Ukraine shall soon be known only as the “former Ukraine “.

Alexander is clearly mastering the art of analysing military operations, one year ago he used to say he was not a military person.

Wow Alexander what a commentary

Nero fiddled, Blinkin strums.

I have the feeling that the Russian Federation has done everything to reach peace. Now they are fed up with the foolish West and prepare to take Kiev to impose an unconditional surrender and a new constitution. Of course this has several implications for which the RuFed is preparing. Timing will be key.

Thank you Alexander .

Watch and listen to Scott Ritter, his analysis is excellent. The Russians rotate out their front line troops on a regular basis. They are debriefed so that the next wave can learn from the previous wave. The 750k are not just sitting and waiting.

Alex IS A SUPER STAR!!❤

I hope Zelensky didn’t catch another dose of the clap from Trudeau when the met last week.

Greetings from Leipzig, Germany!

Excellent

❤😊RUSSIA IS WINNING BIG.

It’s all over for Ukraine… six months?

It is so heartening to see that the Russians and North Koreans make such lovely friends, and that the North Koreans have so many millions of pretty tank shells to share.

Best work yet. Chess game. The Russians keep removing NATO chess pieces from the board. Correction. Ukraine is not at war. NATO is at war, still convinced of its own false narrative of Russian weakness.

Thanking you

When you try to negotiate by diplomacy later you realize you dealing and talking to a deaf ear, it gives you no choice but using a sign language.

❤😊THANK YOU SIR

thank you Mr Mercouris

I never miss a day (if I can help it) of these reports and analysis; they explain so much.

It sounds like Russia fighting a very professional war.

Penal military units generally have a POOR record historically. This kind of thing is one step away from fielding Volksturm.

As always Alexander your assesment is spot on

Thank you for your great analysis, Alexander ❤👏🏻

One more interesting chapter by a great analyst story teller ❤

Thank you ❤

yep, well said again......thanku

Asian nations have Russian back.

Thank You Alexander. The best from Texas.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST BLASTS YOU'LL EVER SEE in video above - reportedly as a result of first-ever use of Russia's Glide FAB-3000 bomb on a Ukrainian troops deployment point in Liptsy, Kharkov, East Ukraine, decimating several buildings in a massive explosion with a jaw-dropping shockwave. Bomb's blast radius reported at 230 meters, while fragments maintain deadly force of up to 1240 meters - and Kiev's regime thought the FAB-500 was unstoppable - Intel Republic

Thank you Alexander. Good day.

The West is not going to talk, neither will Ukraine

Thanks for the focus on the possibilities in the ongoing situation.

merci, obrigado, thanks

One interesting question that few ask dudes is what happened to the museum grade tanks supplied by the Brits. Heard early on that they burn easily on the Steppes and that they have been withdrawn from front line service due to the Ukies refusing to serve in them because they were death traps. Very much a case of a “Challenge” than a “Challenger”. Which is, presumably, why the Brits offloaded their junk on the Ukies in the first place, rather than paying to have them towed away to the junkyard to be scrapped.

Putin should invite Biden and Blinken to Moscow

Thanks you Alexander great analysis, greetings from Ghana

❤😊PUTIN IS IN VIETNAM🎉🎉🎉

The more you hear the statements and announcements made by the West the more you wonder who these crazy bunch of characters are.

Thanks for the update

Right on, Alexander. The Ruskies have mastered the art of battlefield management, e.g., using target acquisition drones and aircraft to find artillery pieces, then directing Lancet FPV drones to destroy them. Shoot and scoot tactics become a morbid joke.

Bravo Brave Russians...,

❤😊YOU ARE THE BEST.

That kind of psychological thing happened all the time during the Great Patriotic War. The Russians knew everything about the opposing German units, even down to the individual soldiers names and taunted and demoralized them relentlessly with broadcasts and leaflets. Ninety percent of the German units were relatively immobile leg infantry so often fought the war in one place / region, unlike the panzer forces which moved around a lot. You only get this history when you start reading ordinary soldier's memoirs from the war which are often extremely graphic and detail oriented.

Thank You.

Thank you Alexander for your analysis excellent as always. Good Day . 🇦🇺

Excellent analysis

Good evening sir. I just had smoked sausage waffle sandwich and am pleased to view my favorite military analyst. Be well.

Thank you sir.

❤😊UKRAINE IS COLLAPSING.

My contacts in the Russian army stated that during the so-called Ukrainian counter offensive, in most areas of operations approximately 5000 Russian soldiers were stopping approximately 20,000 Ukrainian soldiers from even reaching the first main line of defense of the Russians. During this entire conflict, the Russians have had to only commit a small fraction of their forces. The main body of their forces have been continually training, not only waiting to conduct an offensive against Ukrainian forces, but also watching to see if NATO formations will enter the fray.

Thanks for all your 0:38 information .watching from,Communist Kanada

Don’t think Putin expected the talks to get anywhere but I feel he has a Christian philosophy on life so out of Christian obligation he had to try maybe an angel with eyes as red as fire and her white as snow as issued a sword from his mouth

Zelensky can show his buddies by doing a triple sault.

One must remember that a lot of countries are, according to the common "asian mentality", obligated to, "returne the russian (sovjet) help to them", back then, when they themself was in need after the aggression on them.

The freeway without off ramps.

Gracias Alejandro.

I just enjoy listening.

As my friend Chadimir Putin has said , Slava RUkraine 🇷🇺

❤😊GOOD DAY SIR

FAB3000 been used recently

Remember the words of the great Bruce Lee. Water has no form. Put it in a cup, it becomes a cup. Put it in a kettle, it becomes a kettle. That's adaptability. American football is their favorite sports. If you want a win, you bang heads. That's the difference in approach. Guess which will prevail?

Another 1st Class Geo-Political update. Thank you Alexander!

I’m here.
