Vloggers make videos for views. They use information they can find from the western Russian media. Unfortunately, when you are indoctrinated and not given reality, you develop false narratives as truth. My guess is your vlogger will make a video in several months on why sanctions failed. When you review the economic data at a later point, you will also see the light, or perhaps you just know better than the economic experts and world leaders? Just like you Mr Comrade Trollsky Foot. Did you get called home for re-education? It's so nice to read such unbiased analysis followed by the pot calling the kettle black ... Mann oooh Mann. No matter how this turns out ... and nobody knows for sure ... I won't be expecting any attempt to balance the narrative from you.
September 30, 2022: Ukraine started claiming encirclement a week ago. It's still under Russian control. 500 Russian soldiers have been defending against 6000+ Ukrainian soldiers.
Four battle groups of the Russian 58th Army, reinforced with armors en route to Liman to deblocade it and change the tactic situation on the ground. Bombers armed with FAB-500 (500kg) and FAB-3000 (3t) bombs scrambled:
That was outstanding analysis. We have loads of wannabe authoritarians in this country. Which one(s) of them pissed in your coffee?

Once again Russia's strategy has been to destroy soldiers and equipment. Everything else will be available afterwards. Even western research institutions acknowledge how outnumbered Russia was before the partial mobilization. And by the way, separatist troops from the DNR/LNR are not well trained Russian soldiers. www.rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/return-industrial-warfare/These withdrawals a will be remembered as strategic defeats for Ukraine. The men and equipment lost was catastrophic. Even western media admits Ukraine lost thousands of tanks and men while going on their 'offensives'. Yet, the western media tried to chalk it up as some sort of victory. www.nzz.ch/international/krieg-in-der-ukraine-der-schuetzenpanzer-marder-reicht-nicht-ld.1720036?reduced=trueNow we have 700,000 well trained equipped Russian soldiers VS. less than 200,000 poorly trained conscripts who are running low on artillery.

justme, Looks like the European resolve is a little stronger than you think. Russian oil price is capped. Hot off the twitter press.

It's going so well for Ukraine, the Prime Minister of Italy (Giorgia Meloni) stated: This is after he signed a law several months ago not allowing for negotiations with Putin. Polish media Onet wrote and article stating how 'the USA is running out of ammunition to supply Ukraine'. wiadomosci.onet.pl/tylko-w-onecie/alarmujacy-scenariusz-w-sprawie-ukrainy-zachod-moze-miec-duzy-problem/wt0fh9tRemember when Russia was running out of ammunition and missiles last March?  If Russia is this heavily sanctioned, broken economically, incompetent, and inefficient country, how is it winning the war and out manufacturing the collective west in artillery ammunition?

justme, Hard times for your comrades are coming in 2023... You are more than welcome to continue posting your Ukrainian TV videos, that are funded by the Ukrainian government.  However, I would recommend using neutral sources. If you have been following closely, the majority of Ukrainian news has been propaganda from the start. I will continue to stick with real world economic data and common sense. I live in Texas and have no Russian ethnicity. I simply am a realist, that calls things how I see them.

For those who want to follow an unbiased and neutral source, the Duran is one of the best channels to follow. They have video updates almost every day. Sometimes multiple per day.

Thankyou Justme....I don't know what I'd do without you 😊 He is a voice of reality. The Ukraine War reporting via Western Media resembles reporting on AGW. More 1/2 truths and made up shit than one can shake a stick at it. Russian oil prices currently at $78.00/barrel. India, China etc buying. Both have bypassed SWIFT and are using Native currency. BRIC countries are learning to trade in native currency. Brazil is selling soybeans and corn to China in yuan. Beef as well. The US is loosing its grip on world finance.

Sigurdur, According to every source I can find China and India are buying Russian crude at steep discounts of 20.00 per barrel or more vs Dubai benchmark crude. www.cnbc.com/2022/05/20/china-quietly-increases-purchases-of-low-priced-russian-oil.html

There are multiple crude oil blends sold by Russia. USA WTI Crude is currently selling for $73.26/bbl. Russian Sokol and EPSO are selling for $73.25 and $71.37 respectively:  oilprice.com/oil-price-charts/#pricesKeep in mind Russia is now selling to other countries in different currencies (not USD). Additionally, Ural crude prices were significantly cheaper in 2015, 2016, half of 2017, and most of 2020. I would also like to point out when governments sign contracts, there is an agreed upon price for a time period. Europe had some of the cheapest natural gas in the world under contract prices. They no longer get any discounts. Could you not ask the same question about Russia several years ago? How can Russia's economy survive by giving big natural gas discounts to Europe?

Media bias fact check rates The Duran as a questionable source for promotion of Russian propaganda, questionable sources, failed fact checks etc... mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-duran/ They have been far more accurate then anything in the western media. Additionally, I use open source / uncensored news. So I see battles recorded by drones, geolocate lines, and even see photos of tens of dead soldiers daily. Much of what is reported by the western media, is often not the case. Time always tells. Incidentally, I could code and create a fact check website in about 60 minutes. I am curious where you think this conflict is going, and how it will end?

I am curious where you think this conflict is going, and how it will end? I have not the slightest idea where it is going or how it will end. The most likely scenario is a negotiated peace settlement that involves land for peace. With the amount of aid coming in from the west, HIMARS, Patriot missile systems, Leopard II tanks and M1 Abrams it will be hard for the Russians to just march through Ukraine. And if they do I see a multi year occupation ending the same way the occupation of Afghanistan ended for both the Russians and the US. When all is said and done and this mess is resolved I can't see it being a win for the Russians. They will have lost all the market share in Europe for their fossil fuels and western economic sanctions will take a toll over time. I think Putin underestimated the resistance from Ukraine. It's clear he thought he would be welcomed as a liberator and his troops would be marching through Kiev in a matter of weeks.
