its also a problem for the younger ones....so this joke doesn't really make sense unless you say thats common symptoms of an autocrat in general.

Who would’ve thought??

Well,isnt that the reason as to why Putin sent the prisoners and mercs to the frontlines of the meat grinder 🤔🤔

Yea who would have seen him becoming the antihero 😅😂😂

I sense a movie coming out about the "War Hot Dog" soon.

Neither is having a president with dementia. What's your point?

for real. they took more russian land captive in 24 hours than russia could have hoped to get in the entire war in ukraine so far.

When they did that last May Day Parade with no up to date equipment, they told the world they really had nothing left. China and the US can conquer Siberia right now IF both nations wanted to with little or no opposition from the Russian military because EVERYTHING is on the frontline in Ukraine.

always has been

It's clear now that Russia relies almost entirely on its nuclear arsenal to prevent invasion. Against an enemy that doesn't have territory to nuke, it's completely helpless.

@@black10872 China or the US can conquer the entire Russia at just about any time if they wanted to and there was no threat of nuclear war. Russia has achieved nothing with their invasion of Ukraine other than demonstrate to the world that they really are just a loud bully with no muscle behind their words and that Wagner is the only halfway capable fighting force in the country since they don't have to play by any rules. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the reason Putin haven't resorted to using nuclear weapons yet is because they are afraid the world finds out that their nuclear arsenal is also just another lie. If Wagner can go from the border to just outside Moscow in a day, then a relatively small, but well planned, invasion by NATO would likely be able to capture the Kremlin and cripple or capture most of Russia's essential military infrastructure (runways and supply depots) in a few days.

And so, that begs the question, where is Gen. Gerasimov?

Hahahaha

Knowing the state of the Russian army, that probably describes the experience of more than a few thousand soldiers

Lol!

So statistically most of the country then 😅😂

But yea, lets keep using the dumbed down version of the words we used to use and wonder why people look at us like idiots.

russia: hold my coffee

It's like USA invaded Mexico to purge it of communists, got several bloody noses and had to withdraw repeatedly. Then a PMC ran by McDonalds got at loggerheads with DoD, seized Austin and drove unopposed at Washington D.C to the sounds of several Apaches being shot down. Biden flew to California and had to be saved by Justin Trudeau negotiating a settlement. I know some people think that USA isn't a serious country, but if someone like that reads this, know that the rabbit hole of absurdity goes so much deeper.

Hunter Biden just got a slap on the wrist for a felony crime...but you know that

As a history buff, I've read a lot more absurd stuff that our ancestors did before that I've more or less been quite decensetized by Wagner's Munity, lmao. Wagner's Mutiny does not come close to Tsar Peter III's decision to switch swides during the Seven Year's War, imo.

Hi Rachel, i like most of Simones Vids and his humor very much. But: Have he ever made a video of the sinking of the Lusitania (with the subsequent pogroms in the UK?) used to manipulate the US population into WWI? Churchill secretly had weapons and ammunition loaded onto the ocean liner Lusitania. Germany was deliberately informed of this and they sank the ship as hoped. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Lusitania It is well known that in every war the truth dies first. And again and again the famous en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Basic_Principles_of_War_Propaganda were confirmed. These have proven themselves over 100 years and are scientifically backed. And not only Russia and China can lie, but also the West. Above all the Anglo-Saxons (whom I appreciate and like very much). See all invented war reasons like: 1) the attack in the Gulf of Tonkin invented by the USA to intervene in the Vietnam War, as has long been declassified: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_incident (that was because it was another CIA -Action didn't work, in which they cowardly murdered 22,000 Vietnamese teachers and intellectuals. Each dead person had an ace of poke card stuffed in their mouths as a warning, pure mafia fanaticism. The USA also worked with the mafia because they were from Italy and knew his way around Sicily. That should help to have fewer casualties in WW2.). 2) the incubator lie that Busch senior used to attack Iraq: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony (the alleged witness was a total fake!) 3) Alleged weapons of mass destruction in Iraq so Busch junior could invade Iraq: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationale_for_the_Iraq_War 4) Yugoslavia or Balkan War: "they drive them into concentration camps", with a photo through a fence so that the people behind could be portrayed as prisoners etc pp The Anglo-Saxons invented reasons for war again and again. And then always leaving chaos (why is Biden rushed out of Afghanistan just before the Ukraine war? And what happened in Afghanistan then?). Why have the US and NATO trained and equipped Ukrainian military since 2014? Is it known how Hitler's army was celebrated in Ukraine? The Ukrainians quickly created huge SS units that carried out the worst massacres of Poles and Jews (it is also interesting how the Hitler army took Crimea and what Germany did there. At that time, tobacco was grown there with over 20 thousand forced labourers. Thousands of them Children And the effort with which the Soviet Union recaptured Crimea. Just don't tell anyone it was a long time ago. Every year in the UK a big feast is celebrated for their victims in the Crimean War 1853-56.) There used to be a big movie about fakes like this: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wag_the_Dog with Dustin Hoffman and Robert DeNiro. In it, the world is led to believe that there is a war with the small, unknown Albania in order to distract attention from a misdemeanor on the part of the POTUS and to save its election campaign. The United States has also organized revolutions abroad on several occasions. Declassified US government documents show how this was organized by the CIA in Iran as early as the 1950's: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat This was the blueprint for many more such Actions. The so-called color revolutions, like the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004. Also already on the Maidan. And because that didn't help, then again in 2014, as evidenced by telephone recordings by Victoria Nuland from the US State Department (at least the snipers didn't come from the then President of Ukraine). How convenient that Selinsky comes from the media business. He famously became president for playing a Ukrainian president in a TV series. Although his election results outside of Kiev remained low. His party had not won any of its candidates in the last elections just before the war. Incidentally, he had already banned many parties and media before the war. And many more when the war started (see also the torture center in the Mariupul library). In contrast, there has been little coverage in the West of Putin's 2001 Shanghai 5 project. This resulted in a very large trade association, which was completed in 2017. And why Russia is known to be less affected by the economic sanctions of the West than the West itself. The West has also ignored the fact that the Cuban Missile Crisis was a USSR success. The US not only had to pledge never to intervene in Cuba. But they also had to withdraw from Turkey the nuclear missiles that could easily have hit Moscow. Russia successfully prevented this. But the West lied to its people that only they had won. But the plans for war lies were already prepared. For which even US citizens and a popular astronaut should be murdered. See OP Northwoods: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods The Russians have been invaded from abroad several times in history. Over a third of all WW2 dead worldwide were USSR citizens! Putin is an old fox and secret service agent. He knows exactly what he is doing and is well informed. A wise man from the CIA also confirmed this: Andrew Bustamante at Lex Friedman: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipl2dpqirqerip8.html&pp=ygUXbGV4IGZyaWRtYW4gYnVzdGFtYW50ZSA%3D (also confirmed by a longtime adviser to the U.S. Secretary of State Collin Powell that: Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson t.co/1FOr702hsC ) So be careful what they want you to believe! The famous Karl Krauss once said that you could see bombs exploding over a city just because it was mistakenly reported by the press. He also said that what is being done in newsrooms today will be atoned for by the peoples on the battlefield tomorrow. It must finally be an end to all the wars. We are in the 21st century and we should make sure that every child in the world can go to school and to the doctor. We need more real medical doctors than spindoctors. And much more peace and better understanding. Understanding the West knows exactly who blew up the Nord Stream Pipeline. The Pulitzer Prize winner Seymore Hearsh has also demonstrated that the combat gas for the poison gas attack in Syria came there via Turkey. On the same way on which a son of the Turkish president bought the IS oil from IS cheaply. Later, Turkey was allowed to occupy military areas of Syria. And it is looked away when Turkey attacks NATO partner Greece militarily. Whether in Cyprus or in previous years at sea. There are many exciting stories for videos here, right? But please not just CoFR lies. With the structures of the US-American Council on Foreign Relations (CoFR), the public has been manipulated in the states of the West for decades. Incidentally, a very large American thought factory also explained many years ago that the borders in the Middle East would have to be re-drawn. Back then, a lot of things went wrong under the British mandate power. Hillary Clinton had already announced for flight advertising zones there, as it also existed in the Iraq war. Because Wikileaks knew that, they decided to support them because they didn't want to support war. Ukraine was never equal to Russia. Russia is a completely different league. As a nuclear power and far, far more staff. All the best to you and your family. And to the people of Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine is culturally much closer to Russia than to the west. There you see the same films, hear the same music and have a long, long history together. YT-channel Bald & Bankrupt has been to Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus and Russia several times: the same everywhere: too little money and job opportunities and all had family members in prison camps in Siberia. PS: the West has to be careful when believing its own lies. A German minister was amazed as he drove to a conference on the Ukraine war at the US base in Rammstein. In a major TV interview, he said that he had assumed that everyone there would scold Germany just because that was constantly being said and written in the German media (CoFR structures there have been particularly strong for decades). the reality was very different. If even the secretary of defense doesn't know the true situation... PPS: As in Gaza, it is in Syria also about routes for pipelines. It's always about money and influence. No matter what is shown to us.

BY HIS HANDS 6 wagner went all in and staged a fake coup while he still had supporters 7 having good bargaining position wagner negotiated escape plan, being safe from step 5 8 if wagner actually wanted he could plausibly take over moscow, pukin is now publicly weak, russia is a fucking failed state and now european polititians who helped pukin for the last 20 years saw it just like 30% of russians were telling them all this time and 50% knew but were not talking to anyone

not really russians expected just that 30% liberals knew 50% conformists knew that nothing works in this country only the remaining 20% of nazis believed in coup

What is a WhistleBoy?

​@@mosessupposes2571I think he meant to call him FactBoy

The reason Belarus volunteered to welcome Wagner is because of the threat to Lukashenko. Immediately following Wagner starting their march, people within Belarus and exiled military Belarusian commanders were calling for a revolution to drive out the Russian army and overthrow Lukashenko. Lukashenko is deeply unpopular and only in power through intimidation and force, in large part with Russia's assistance. The loyalty of his own army is questionable. Having Wagner there who he can pay to enforce his rule will stave off regime collapse. For Russia, this helps stabilize their sphere of influence for the time being. Cracks are appearing all across their sphere of influence. Kazakhstan's cold diplomatic attitude, flair ups in Nagorno Karabakh, unrest in Georgia, tensions in Transnistria. With Russia's flagging strength, their whole sphere is unstable. A single volatile event in one of their satellites could cause the whole thing to collapse. And the implosion of Lukashenko's regime could do just that. And as we just saw, Russia's military strength is almost entirely tied up in Ukraine. If all these flash points went off at once, they would have no means of reasserting their presence or even securing their borders

Declassified US government documents show how this was organized by the CIA in Iran as early as the 1950's: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat This was the blueprint for many more such Actions. The so-called color revolutions, like the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004. Also already on the Maidan. And because that didn't help, then again in 2014, as evidenced by telephone recordings by Victoria Nuland from the US State Department (at least the snipers didn't come from the then President of Ukraine). How convenient that Selinsky comes from the media business. He famously became president for playing a Ukrainian president in a TV series. Although his election results outside of Kiev remained low. His party had not won any of its candidates in the last elections just before the war. Incidentally, he had already banned many parties and media before the war. And many more when the war started (see also the torture center in the Mariupul library). In contrast, there has been little coverage in the West of Putin's 2001 Shanghai 5 project. This resulted in a very large trade association, which was completed in 2017. And why Russia is known to be less affected by the economic sanctions of the West than the West itself. The West has also ignored the fact that the Cuban Missile Crisis was a USSR success. The US not only had to pledge never to intervene in Cuba. But they also had to withdraw from Turkey the nuclear missiles that could easily have hit Moscow. Russia successfully prevented this. But the West lied to its people that only they had won. But the plans for war lies were already prepared. For which even US citizens and a popular astronaut should be murdered. See OP Northwoods: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods The Russians have been invaded from abroad several times in history. Over a third of all WW2 dead worldwide were USSR citizens! Putin is an old fox and secret service agent. He knows exactly what he is doing and is well informed. A wise man from the CIA also confirmed this: Andrew Bustamante at Lex Friedman: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipl2dpqirqerip8.html&pp=ygUXbGV4IGZyaWRtYW4gYnVzdGFtYW50ZSA%3D (also confirmed by a longtime adviser to the U.S. Secretary of State Collin Powell that: Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson t.co/1FOr702hsC ) So be careful what they want you to believe! The famous Karl Krauss once said that you could see bombs exploding over a city just because it was mistakenly reported by the press. He also said that what is being done in newsrooms today will be atoned for by the peoples on the battlefield tomorrow. It must finally be an end to all the wars. We are in the 21st century and we should make sure that every child in the world can go to school and to the doctor. We need more real medical doctors than spindoctors. And much more peace and better understanding. Understanding the West knows exactly who blew up the Nord Stream Pipeline. The Pulitzer Prize winner Seymore Hearsh has also demonstrated that the combat gas for the poison gas attack in Syria came there via Turkey. On the same way on which a son of the Turkish president bought the IS oil from IS cheaply. Later, Turkey was allowed to occupy military areas of Syria. And it is looked away when Turkey attacks NATO partner Greece militarily. Whether in Cyprus or in previous years at sea. There are many exciting stories for videos here, right? But please not just CoFR lies. With the structures of the US-American Council on Foreign Relations (CoFR), the public has been manipulated in the states of the West for decades. Incidentally, a very large American thought factory also explained many years ago that the borders in the Middle East would have to be re-drawn. Back then, a lot of things went wrong under the British mandate power. Hillary Clinton had already announced for flight advertising zones there, as it also existed in the Iraq war. Because Wikileaks knew that, they decided to support them because they didn't want to support war. Ukraine was never equal to Russia. Russia is a completely different league. As a nuclear power and far, far more staff. All the best to you and your family. And to the people of Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine is culturally much closer to Russia than to the west. There you see the same films, hear the same music and have a long, long history together. YT-channel Bald & Bankrupt has been to Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus and Russia several times: the same everywhere: too little money and job opportunities and all had family members in prison camps in Siberia. PS: the West has to be careful when believing its own lies. A German minister was amazed as he drove to a conference on the Ukraine war at the US base in Rammstein. In a major TV interview, he said that he had assumed that everyone there would scold Germany just because that was constantly being said and written in the German media (CoFR structures there have been particularly strong for decades). the reality was very different. If even the secretary of defense doesn't know the true situation... PPS: As in Gaza, it is in Syria also about routes for pipelines. It's always about money and influence. No matter what is shown to us.

Happy belated birthday! 🥳 🎂 🎉

And added props for great lines like the "We've seen the Russian army go from the second most powerful army in the world, to the second most powerful army in Ukraine, and now the second most powerful army in Russia." That one killed me.

@@mikep3226 My buddy wrote this:) Took him hours of intensive research on top of his previous familiarity with the situation & his degrees in the subject area.

I agree partly with your analysis. Mercenaries became upset about too low pay and being used as cannon fodder. The Russian military tried to get rid of them and failed but I don't think it was much looting going on. Yeah, they did get payed off with something but I am not sure of what they got. It certainly is not something that haven't happened before and during the 30 year war it was pretty common since all nations used mercs at the time, some like Sweden in fact had far more mercenaries then actual soldiers. During the viking age, this was also very common and the Romans used a lot of mercenaries too which didn't end great for them. Having people fighting for money have always had it's issues and when those troops are better then their employers armies, the employer are taking certain risks. I don't think we have heard the last of this yet and there are 2 other pretty large and competent Russian mercenary groups fighting in Ukraine who also could act in a way Russia wouldn't like.

@@loke6664 Im gonna be brief: -if a state is incapable of dealing with a bunch of unhappy mercs, can it still be called a state?

​@@LiezAllLiez in general, yes. ruzzia in its current form is still a failed state, but that's not the reason lol

Or some rich enemy paid the mercs to cause some chaos. But the russians got a sniff of it and now the merc boss is really really in danger. Win win for the rich enemy

You know, that sounds pretty accurate.

In Russian, you can say it both ways, motherland [родина] and fatherland [отечество]

Where exactly did they lose ground? The territory is still russian and wagner moved to Belarus 100km from kiev. I call it a win-win situation.

Lol

@@RakibHasan-ee2cd It might have been very temporary,, but russia still lost some ground to wagner. Rostov on Don etc.

Theybare saying it was a 4d chess move. The cope from them is insane

The online Russian sympathizers? How would you know where they are. You're literally in some igloo and don't know your planet.

It is top secret mission to bring 20k people to attack Kiev and capture it, in short :)

Seems to me it's a convenient way to post 25 to 50,00 Wagner troops in Belarus. Allowing Russia to attack from the northwest an force Ukraine to divide there forces and thus put an end to their counter offensive attack..

Haha good one Slava cocaini

Yeah, you guys are probably used to it by now. You saw this in 1991 with the August coup, then in the presidential crisis of 1993, and so on...

I think it would have been interesting to see what happened if they hadn't struck a deal, but I wouldn't have wanted to watch it from Moscow.

@@livethefuture2492 Exactly. I think you are absolutely right. We're just used to it and look at this as a fun, although it's not funny at all. I remember myself at age of 15 in August 1991 and two years later in October 1993. I walked around the city centre and try to be as close as possible to the events in spite of danger. The funniest thing is that some of Yeltsin's supporter in 1991 were on the opposite side of barricade in 1993.

@@livethefuture2492 if someone (like mushustin) kills pukin tomorrow, says well it's time to leave mumbas, crimea and also gift rostov and siberia to ukraina... literally no on would care and proceed with their lives as if nothing happened

@@HistoryteacherAlex some of the people hiding behind yeltsin in 1993 are now sitting in the kremlin and screaming that yeltsin destroyed usssr oh no usssr was so good bad yeltsin bad
