  1. Instead of sending different models of Leopard to Ukraine, donor countries should send them back to Germany and Germany should send the equivalent number of a single model to Ukraine. The Germans can then upgrade the Leopards they received back to a single standard. It would also probably be better to offer the 14 Challengers to another country that could then send a dozen of its Leopards to Ukraine via Germany.

  4. Big love and kudos to our Baltic neighbor of Poland for all your support and assistance to Ukraine…as a Swede I feel it is paramount that the Russian army isn't just defeated but soundly defeated and essentially CRUSHED!
    Simply because it looks like Sweden will not be 'accepted' to become a NATO-member-state, partly because of the pro-Russian sentiments of Hungary but mainly because of the anti-Sweden sentiments of Turkey….so, IF the Russian war-machine isn't completely wrecked – I'm afraid that the Russians will take revenge on Sweden, as the then only non-NATO-member who have provided both military- & humanitarian-aid to Ukraine. And we'll stand alone against a country with close to 20 times larger population….or, in other words – Sweden will be totally extinguished, wiped from the face of the earth. As we'll have no Art.5 to 'lean on', and no other NATO-member – which is then essentially going to be ALL of our both immediate neighbors (since Finland will most likely be 'allowed' to join-which was our only country we have/had a strong joint military force with), as well as all other European countries….which I guess is the reason Sweden has further ramped up our military support for Ukraine.
    So yes – as a Swede, I am both quite worried what will happen to our country after this conflict, as well VERY keen on seeing the Russian war-machine utterly destroyed.
    And, the way that Russia "Operates" – it might very well also want to 'show the world' their "military might" while at the same time 'punish' Sweden for trying to join NATO….something that Turkey seem hellbent on denying Sweden.
    So – if the Russian war-machine isn't utterly destroyed, I fear that Sweden is next on their list….DAMN Russia, and their medieval state-structure!
    But a big shout-out to TVP and the Poles in general! Love this channel.
    And victory and freedom to Ukraine!

  6. The whole civilization world help to stop the genocide Ukrainian peoples from internal occupiers – Ukrainian officials, who forcibly force all people to go to war against their will, catch them everywhere and send them to war at a time when all their children, brothers, godfathers, friends, relatives are resting at resorts abroad.
    Forcibly sent to war against will of a person this is a violation of the right of choice of every person, please help to leave this country where corruption is at the highest level and laws are against simple people 🙏🙏🙏

  7. BIDEN: INSTEAD OF TAKING 31 ABRAMS OUT OF THE 500 IN GERMANY THAT COULD BE DELIVERED TO UKRAINE TOMORROW!!
    BILDEN WILL HAVE 31 BUILT NEW BY CHRYSLER COST 300 MILLION AND TAKE ONE YEAR!!! WHO'S SIDE IS BIDEN ON UKRAINE OR RUSSIA?

  8. Release the falcons sounds nice.
    But F-16’s are not optimal for flying from roads in the forests.
    Gripen would be best but that’s probably not going to happen. At least Sweden will not be first movers on that.
    Then Hornets or Super hornets would be best.

    So start a release the hornets campaign!

  9. 31 ABRAMS MEANS ONLY 8 OPERATING AT ONE TIME(ONCE PER WEEK YOU ROTATE A UNIT FROM THE BATTLEFIELD= 24 +6 SPARES) THAT UNIT WILL
    BE OUT OF ACTION AND NON OPERATIONAL AFTER A MONTH OF FIGHTING. WILL BIDEN REPLACE ABRAMS TANKS THAAT ARE DESTROYED
    FROM TANKS IN STORAGE IN GERMANY OR TELL UKRAINE TO WAITE A YEAR FOR CHRYSLER TO BUILD A NEW ABRAMS TANK?

  10. THE ABRAMS STEERS LIKE A MOTORCYCLE WITH HANDLE BARS. I DROVE AN USMC ABRAMS AFTER 5 MINUTES OF INSTRUCTION.
    THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH ABRAMS TANKS AND BRADLEY'S IS THAT THEY ARE BUILT FOR A PERSON THE SIZE OF A 12 YEAR OLD OR SIZE 10 FEMALE.
    A NORMAL 6'1 MIDDLE AGED MAN COULD HARDLY FIT IN AN ABRAMS OR BRADLY OR A HELICOPTER. THESE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE VEHICLES
    TO DRIVE, RIDE OR WORK IN. SUPPOSEDLY RUSSIAN T72 AND T90 TANKS HAVE MORE LEG ROOM.

  11. Great spoof w Sir David Attenborough,
    Along the line of your fellow countrymen supplying MIGs to Ukraine as a full set of spare parts, the Dutch need to modify their F16's with tinted glass, cat back exhaust system and an air freshener then send these to Ukraine as MH17's.

  12. Who the hell dreamed up this shit. At first I thought I was watching bullshit from Russia Today, then it was obvious that this was dreamed up by some idiot who does not understand the English world, who thinks they can do a mirror image of Tucker Carson or Russia Today and somehow find that magic combination that will spectacularly impress viewers.

    Yes it sure impresses, it grates, its annoying, its poor quality script, poor quality video and an abysmal attempt at humour.

    This is the wrong guy for the job and it negatively affects how the world views Polish press.
