  1. It sounds like these are Russian sympathizers and, as such, it will be better for the Ukrainian state for them to be used as cannon fodder because after the war they will reside in Ukraine and these men will continue to cause problems for Ukraine while Russia foments unrest in Crimea and Donesk. The Russians will go back to Russia and will no longer be a problem. Let the traitors fight and if they fight let them die. If they go to jail or surrender and support Ukraine,, let them stay. All Ukrainians from the territories who support Russia's invasion should repatriate to "Mother" Russia. They should be expelled from Ukraine. Let the Crimean tatars who have been expelled from Crimea by the Russians come back to their home land.

  2. If Hamish De Bretton-Gordon thinks there are multiple levels of intelligence above those released in this leak then either he hasn't seen the ones I have or he must suspect that Putin's landline is compromised. These are the highest level of classification and product. Other than that he was OK in his assessment and far better than most other military commentors who have been frankly talking ignorant rubbish about these leaks.

  3. American support for Ukraine would continue unabated if the American public was assured that they would be repayed. This could be accomplished if Russia was compelled to pay ALL reparations with Russian oil.

  4. 53 leaked documents on gamer site with the motive to prove this person is knowledgable. Hum. 53 pages with unrelated info like South Korea. Was struck amazed that the Russian TV commentators didn't know more than double Russian soldiers have died in this war compared to Ukrainian soldiers. Then add in Russian March failures. Was that the reason to throw the kitchen sink into the mix so those in the Russian leadership will seek these documents. Is the number dead a measure of who is winning?

  5. The Russians are desperately considering the "leaked" documents while they figure out how it happened because it wasn't them. Exasperation with a little fear from admirals and spokespersons makes it look like we aren't happy about an intelligence compromise, yet it's a known advantage to deceive your enemy, use confusion to induce a desired behavior from the enemy. If nothing else these days is as it seems, neither is this.

  6. If any British SF are in the Ukraine 🇺🇦 I'd very surprised if any information about it would be known in Washington. They are a very insular independent Force ,They are given instructions before a Task, It's up to them to achieve the assignment, Any information gathered will go to the British, Certain bits will go up the chain, but wholesale information on how or by whom specifically, Would be a Total surprise to me .

  7. I like watching propaganda from both sides so the leaks are pretty fulfilling for me. I get to watch people seethe that Ukraine is weaker than the retards believed.

    Ukraine will lose an attrition war especially if the US and Nato go to war with China.

  8. These podcasts are important because it isn't just some arm-chair opinion being peddled and telling a completely different story to other mainstream sources. The truth is – there is no spoon and there is no real truth (war is not so transparent while its unfolding) and for anyone not actually there, theres no real way to know exactly what the outcome will be.

  9. What a pointless waste of time was it to interview the mobilized prisoners . That poor journalist could not figure out anything at all – she said it’s a “pro-russian area” . Does she not understand that Donetsk region has been occupied by Russians since 2014 so nobody who was pro- Ukrainian could survive the first months of that occupation, not speaking of the following 9 years .

  10. Quite fantastic ideas pronounced and, true, huge confusion. Russian VDV are paratroopers just by name now, they are actually used as assault infantry, thats why it makes obvous sense to provide TOS systems to them. Russian fleet can leave Crimea at will at any moment; no chance ukranians can capture the ships. Actually, most of the russian Black sea fleet as based in caucasian ports already, not in Crimea.

  11. Since December it’s been reported that Russia will take Bakhmut in two weeks.. Maybe Ukrainians will kick in the teeth of the Moskals in two weeks! Slava Ukraini! 🇫🇮❤️🇺🇦

  12. They really do have to forget leaks at moment Ukraine really needs things sent fast in next few weeks so they really can be ready for this counter offensive. Let them get the job done while they still have the moral I really think if they have what they need they can do this if the west really war over they really need to stop putting up blockers of red tape . Ukraine deserve for all their refugee around world and them many citizens it has lost and soldiers lost to given chance to go for this big while summer in .don't let them suffer another winter like they just had
