Fundamentally the entire video is based on a position that the 1:7 kill ratio Russia:Ukraine is true. I do not find this kill ratio credibe.

I believe the US General Milley's statements, and I dont believe they should be laughing about his statement. This is an example of not being serious on the part of the presenter and ritter.

With brevity, the US is NOT doing everything it can, he should have caveated his statement to something like "based on how we have both of our arms tied behind out backs, i do believe we are doing the best we can, with what we are allowed to do, to give ukraine a chance."

There is ample evidence to support that Ukraine has inflicted catastrophic damage to russia mechanised vehicles (tanks) and there are numerous historic examples as well as youtube current video's to support the notion that Javalins have been incredibly successful (Charlie Wilson's war, which i previously linked was a perfect historical example of how cheap weapons can destroy expensive weapons).

It is accepted that the Russians are firing more artillery, and that Ukraine is heamoraging, but this 1:7 ratio just does not make sense. It may exist on one battlefield, its not clear to me what the is ration refers to, its from the start of the war? its current deaths ?

I also think that the presenter/scott ritter are very niave to think that the american people will give a damn about whether ukraine wins or not, or whether the US government is lying or not. It is allready accepted by virtually everyone that politicians (and governments) lie/spy/whatever, and more so if they are american. I do not see any evidence to support that the release of this (or further) leak will create a fundamental cultural shift in american politic's. i completely disagree with the analysis presented in this video.


I think you're over reacting, they discussed the documents and only a very small portion of the video talks about that ratio (that ratio is presented in the documents)

Did you watch the entire thing?

yep the whole thing. just finnished it now. i made a couple of edits.

The entire video is based on the concept that Ukraine is completely finnished(based on kill ratio) and from that platform we have this analysis. This idea that the war will be over in the next 2 months, it makes no sense to me. If you simply look at the map of Ukraine and see how there has been f*** all movement for months (even before winter) it should be accepted that this makes no sense whatsoever.

The leader of a small online gaming chat group where a trove of classified U.S. intelligence documents leaked over the last few months is a 21-year-old member of the intelligence wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, according to interviews and documents reviewed by The New York Times.

The national guardsman, whose name is Jack Teixeira, oversaw a private online group named Thug Shaker Central, where about 20 to 30 people, mostly young men and teenagers, came together over a shared love of guns, racist online memes and video games.

Nice info, and very possible since few thousands U.S officials had access to these documents.

Meaning that higher classified level documents are "safe".

But let's not forget that many of these docs have been modified or can still be fake. Also:
While dozens of secret Pentagon documents have been circulating around social media in recent weeks, the Post said it reviewed hundreds of photographs of classified documents that were shared in the server, adding that many of these were not made public.

Most restricted accesses i had in my life were on international banking network severs or admin acces on very big insurance structure but i wasn't so young. I would NEVER give access to 21 years old. Really weird.

It's a vey broad analysis, everything from politics to the American journalist, the kill ratio you mention is discussed briefly with Scott reiterating that he thinks the war will be over by the end of summer (this is based on Ukraine's ammunition availability which was discussed in another interview, old Soviet ammo is running out, the West has already sent everything of that stuff that they had, mostly former Warsaw Pact nations.)

This makes sense, no more ammo means no more shooting and Ukraine has far too few modern NATO artillery systems and even those suffer from ammo shortages.

well then, we will know in 3 months time if it was true or not. time and events are the ultimate judge.

whats your view on it ? you believe it was planted? for what purpose? all that this leak does is discredit the US. I mean when everyone calls you a spy, and knows your a spy, and then you spy, and get caught, so what, you know?
