It’s time for Americans to get over ourselves. We don’t pull the strings of the entire world. Ukraine has agency… and also great courage and genius.

@richardroebuck1915

Worrying the Russia might respond to the drone attack by using tactical nukes against Ukraine is pointless. It’s like saying Russia is basically allowed to do anything they want to Ukraine (kill civilians, kidnap children etc) but as soon as Ukraine hit back in any meaningful way the nukes start flying. If you’re going to fight you have to fight to win, using any means necessary. Also using nukes against Ukraine achieves little if any military advantage, using Russia are prepared to using dozens. If this happens then NATO are likely to become directly involved and they massively outclass Russia in terms of conventional weapons.

The containers were built in Russia. As a general matter, you two are clueless. All of the bombers involved were actually Naval strike assets developed for countering American Naval power. All of them were cruise missile launchers used against Ukraine.
@garryw-vc6qm
June 4, 2025 at 5:35 pm
Absolute hyperbole by Hannah Walters. Pure propaganda. Looks like actual destroyed bombers is closer to 6 to 10 with another similar numbers damaged at best. This strike was audacious for sure BUT this will not change the direction of the war. Not least that NATO special forces probably had a hand in this. Bremerton has been wrong on Russia since day 1. Stopped watching him once it became clear he had a biased approach to what should be a neutral assessment. Ukraine is about to be defeated.

classic american arrogance, assuming only america can provide good intelligence, there are a myriad of allies able to provide ukraine intelligence and much more trust worthy than the US, if ukraine told the US they’d have to assume it would get back to Putin given the number of russian operatives in the US military and intelligence administration under this president.

@ivanzar0929
June 4, 2025 at 9:10 pm
this is BS. Throughout the war roughly 15k Ukranian civilians died. This is unprecedented, as the average civilian to military personnel death ratio is around 50% (Vietnam war 65%, Gaza 75%). Russia, however is only about 5% (assuming 300k ukranian soldiers were killed). So Russia is really, really humane in this regard, much more humane than the absolute majority of other countries and conflicts…

I hate propaganda from both sides because both sides are lying. 41 strategic bombers? Are you serious? According to the latest statements from the American side, 10-12 of about 50. Secondly, when striking Ukraine, usually 4-5 planes of this class take off, so this will not change the situation. Thirdly, strategic bombers are the smallest part of the Russian nuclear triad. Stop kidding yourself. Because you kid yourself and exaggerate Ukraine’s successes, you will not win this war. You think, “Oh, everything is great – these guys are winning, so we will not give them even more weapons so as not to escalate the conflict,” but this is not true.

The claim that Russia does not show restraint and Ukraine shows unmistakable bias of the speaker, who prefers to turn a blind eye to terror acts ,the latest sabotage of passengers trains with civilian casualties. Impossible to listen .. new level of warfare Israel ushered in…to say Russia is going to do smth spectacular, why ,it is the actor who is now performing his star role, it is Ukraine that assassinated Russian generals, dont u think Russia lacks the capabilities to take out Ze? What depth of analysis !! Praising terror acts as new assimetric warfare ..makes me literally sick

What about China’s role? I believe China, the EU, the US, and most of the world will strongly oppose Putin using a tactical nuclear weapon. Of course, it’s always a possibility as long as nuclear weapons exist. Putin’s options seem limited. I expect Russia to do the following: a large (non nuclear) counterattack, seeking revenge, coinciding with a downplaying of Ukraine’s drone attack. But of course, anything is possible here and I am just some dude with an opinion.
@jbsop79
June 5, 2025 at 3:57 pm
And never forget that many Russians support this war, they are mad that they are losing. Ukraine still shows restraint. We have too many reasons to support Ukraine up to and including sending troops. This has gone on for too long. The invaders need to be stopped now.

If Putin uses a tactical nuke.. Zelenskyy will respond in kind somewhere some how -he has already thrown it out there that Ukraine might develop its own nukes. There are only 2 important major cities in Russia St Petersburg and Moscow…so it would be over but I think the United States would try at least to make a move on Putin with conventional military means first if he even tried to use a nuke.

Please. Putin’s going to want assurances before he steps down or he’ll die in office by natural causes; fall out a 4 story window. China will not allow Russia to launch without repercussions. I believe the risk is low concerning the threat of annihilation by nuclear weapons.

Trump will not live forever. He’s very old, out of shape, and beginning to become more and more incoherent. So even though under djt it looks like America stance has been changed. It really hasn’t. There are many Americans who support Ukraine and their efforts against the former Soviet Union. This latest attack and the one against the bridge, shows the world that Ukraine not only can defend itself with help from its friends but is also a competent combatant. Combatant. Ukraine does not Target civilians and adheres to the rule of law. Ukraine deserves to be part of NATO and America should be welcoming Ukraine with open arms into NATO.

Where have we seen these PR stunts before? Aaagh “The Kursk Invasion,” of course, that was heralded by the media hordes in the West and war hawks as a genius tactical victory for Ukraine. Well, how much of Kursk do the Ukrainians still hold? Ukraine now has sealed its fate with the foolish attacks on Russia’s strategic nuclear bombers using drones, an operation allegedly planned and executed under the direction and supervision of case officers from MI6 and the CIA. The Russian people are now fed up with the go-slow, softy approach of Putin. They are crying for blood over this recent PR stunt that, again, is being celebrated by those who, in a cowardly way, have been using Ukrainians to fight Russia because they are not bold enough to take on Russia by themselves. Putin now has no other option but to respond to this latest provocation by war hawks in NATO. A failure to act is no more an option for him. Just like Kursk, let’s wait for how much of Ukraine’s infrastructure will be left after Russia has responded to this latest PR stunt that is being celebrated by the West!
