    Watched post hours ago from a friendly Russian contributer who believes Putin is in trouble & the rot in Russia is starting to endangering Putin stance on the Russo-Ukrainian war . He presents strong evidence from within Russia that includes falling productivity, shortages of goods etc that fits with Russian war losses & China is actively stopping Putin financial being supported etc

    F16 arrivals in Ukraine are a relief to all involved, excluding any Russian forces, BUT, as I have argued for TWO FULL YEARS, F16's are only A PART of a COMBINED weapons and tactics method of warfare! This platform provides the "umbrella" under which other weapons can be used, including Apache Longbow, Chinook, A10 Warthog, missiles and artillery, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, AIR DEFENSE BATTERIES such as Patriot. NATO utilises "Air Assault" forces which bring the "shock and awe" that won in Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan. STEALTH capabilities and a Ukrainian form of AWACS, would also be essential to maintaining any gains made by air and ground forces, but those can only come with the FULL involvement of the US, the UK, and it's vast resources! Those nations are not yet politically "aligned" with the idea of "wining" this war, ....YET! There is NO ALTERNATIVE to this reality, so the "rest of the world" is just "waiting for the penny to drop"! We ALL hope the new POTUS will see this reality and make the required commitments, that the military experts from east to west and every point in-between have stated are unavoidable!

    six F-16 "dominating on mass the air space" of Ukraine. A quote relevant for the informative quality of this podcast :)
  • @badwolftx2139
    The reason for this is it gets the news focused back on Ukraine. Many casual reporters will not have noticed that the front has shifted West by many kilometers.
  • Thanks for your excellent reporting, and kudos for keeping away from Ai voiceovers.
  • I noticed the views are way down on this podcast. Might it have something to do with the massive censorship in the comments section? When the bad guys don't realize that they're the bad guys...
  • @APW-ry2ok
    Time for the1994 memo Russia signed to be enforced ,also 143 voted at the UN years ago for Russia to go home…
  • I cannot imagine how relieved the prisoners are who were released. I would like to remind listeners that Ukrainian Azov defenders are still being held and tortured by Russia.

    Any information regarding the health status of Kara-Murza?
