Russia Advance Paraskeyevka; Out of Ammo West Urges Kiev Adopt NATO Tactics; Hawley US Over-Extended

USA doesn't need a military. Economy and USA are destroyed without a single shot fired. Military is useless against this. They use security State against the citizens. It's only to control you. It did nothing to protect the country.

Sure backfired. Who's economy crashed and now Russia is bleeding NATO out. Careful what you wish for. Lol

With no air superiority these things are targets. Gorilla warfare won't work. Once the area is taken then you simply hunt the soldiers down and is much easier to exterminate them.

Of course, from a political standpoint, the civil war union was the "ukraine" and confederacy was "russia". The south was conservative.

Great video. Thanks

THE 30,000+ : BAKHMUT WAGNER & THE REALITY OF WAR–
But the most astounding thing that Kirby had to say may have been this: “I do want to say this about the Wagner Group, and particularly with respect to Bakhmut. I mean, again, they’re treating their recruits, largely convicts, as basically—as cannon fodder, throwing them into a literal meat grinder here, inhuman ways, without a second thought. (cont. in detail below)

And while fighting in Ukraine, we estimate now that Wagner has suffered more than 30,000 casualties, including approximately 9,000 killed in action.”

Of those 30,000 casualties, the U.S. estimates that over half have come in the last two months. And of the men that Wagner has sent to the slaughter at Bakhmut, 90% are thought to have been prisoner recruits.

“Men that [Prigozhin] just plucked out of prisons and threw on the battlefield with no training, no equipping, no organizational command, just throw them into the fight, “ said Kirby. “Ninety percent killed were convicts.”

Not only were most of those lost convicts, U.S. intelligence believes that Wagner continues to lean almost entirely on these prisoner troops for its recent gains around Bakhmut. So the idea that they’ve been cut off from a fresh supply of this cannon fodder may be the best indicator yet that what Ukrainian forces in the city are weathering right now is temporary—the last fitful squall of a storm front rather than a change in seasons. There have already been reports from parts of the front that Wagner’s role in areas both north and south of Bakhmut is fading. Pro-Russian military channels and bloggers continue to credit Wagner with everything that happens around Bakhmut, but Ukrainian sources have reported Wagner forces being replaced with Russian regulars.

Considering the widening, highly-visible schism between Prigozhin and the the Russian military, and the admission that they’ve been cut off from access to more cannon fodder courtesy of the prisons, it’s unclear if Wagner Group will continue to be a force in or out of Ukraine. Five years ago, Bloomberg estimated the total size of Prigozhin’s mercenary force at around 6,000 men. By last December, the estimate was of 50,000 men, with 40,000 of those being convict recruits. Since the time of that estimate, Wagner has burned though at least 15,000. It’s not clear what they have left, but they are a declining force whose power is apparently no longer being refreshed.

The zergs … are running out of zerglings.

I am watching your videos with automatic voice translation from Yandex with great interest, but for some reason this video is only available with subtitles.

As an American, Student of History, and Marine, it is very sad and embarrassing how often the United States has abounded its allies and stabbed them in the back

Great listening, thank you Alexander.

In governing positions of USA there is no "hard liners" and "realists", but "hard liners" and "rats. First ones want achieve pyrrhic defeat by continue in bitter end, while the second ones want leave sinking ship before it does even more damage. And non of them are realists. Idea of "state building" in present day USA is hilarious joke, completely out from reality. They are debuilding their states. Robbing poor and middle-class, giving more money for super rich, while everything is rotting, including infrastructure.
If you are realist, one place where you definitely are not, is governing or prestigious positions of USA.

Hi Alexander, I have just come across your programs published on YouTube by @greatpower. Do they have permission to publish your programs?

One thing I still don't understand is the fact that whenever I think the Ukrainians are finished and beaten, there are more, like the blades of grass, somewhere fighting intensively. My question is: where are they getting these soldiers from?
