Several people have sent this video interview requesting opinion. The video reflects an interview between two Australians. The interviewer is a podcaster the person being interviewed explains his background on the ground in Ukraine as “officially” an “aid worker,” however, what he describes is more like a mercenary.
The interview is rather lengthy and starts at 02:13 with a question about what is happening in Bakhmut in the Eastern Ukraine fighting battlefield. The unknown Australian merc in the interview describes the Russians overwhelming the Ukraine forces in most battles. The Ukrainian military units have made several strategic mistakes that have played into the hands of the more capable Russian forces.
The main Russian element being described is the Wagner group who are well known to be brutal and strategic special force fighters. The interview is from a pro-Ukraine, pro-western alliance perspective. However, in the bigger picture the Ukraine military units are being ground down by attrition, despite the massive amount of aid being delivered by NATO allies. The description is a rather brutal assessment of the devastation created by horrific modern warfare. WATCH:
.
Summary: Ukraine not winning. Wagner PMC/Russian tactics and technology vs. Ukraine. Chinese tech advisors helping Russians. Non-existant Medi-vac. Western Military Aid Stolen 60% off the top 40% sold on black market. Russian Artillery Domination. Ukrainian Officers Incompetence. Ukrainian Soldiers Lack Basic Equipment.
I think the war masters don’t care who wins. This war was manufactured as part of the world destabilization plan, build back better psychopaths. The goal is probably nuclear war and the ushering in of the new world order of one world currency, one supreme governance, and all their domination psycho agenda. It just doesn’t matter to them who or how many are killed in the process. Covid was a start, world war is the next play.
IMHO nato, biden and the western countries are using this war to weaken russia financially, use up all their energy (oil and gas) revenue and forget about the people, making them desperate for new leadership. russia is winning the war but losing the narrative and we hear about putins health, if he goes away what is next for russia.
Lavrov, Medvedev, Maria (she’s hot!) There’s plenty of continuity there.
This war will not put a tiny dent into Russias recoverable reserves.
Russia has massive reserves of both oil and nat gas and have been anything but financially weakened. Either Biden and his CIA conspired alone to blow those three pipelines under the Baltic Sea or did so in concert with the “Five Eyes” – same cadre that initially conspired against Trump (CIA London Station Chief at the time was a unit named Gina Haspell). Russia is taking in more O&G revenue now than it did prior to the Nordstream sabotage (note well how the headlines ceased within DAYS) and they’re doing it in NON-DOLLAR denominated currency… Selling it with both hands to the CCP, Turkey, India, Mongolia, Pakistan and more and more Afghanistan and Japan. ALL of it now in economic alliance with Saudi Arabia. I firmly believe had Trump had a second term, though actually he never had his FIRST term, Putin would be well on the way to becoming a non-NATO ally though I don’t view any of NATO as being existentially U.S. aligned. He would also have likely been on the way to a far better relationship with NKOR as well. Instead? Biden and the EU Matriarchy run by lefist shrikes have driven Putin and the others to our existential enemy China/CCP, trashed our energy independence, driven energy and food prices to historical highs in their lust for self extinction and in ALL arenas worse. BRILLIANT, no?
Your assessment is brilliant, yes. Not their plan 🤥
Yes. 100%.
Part of it is that their Russia-Ukraine hoax thoroughly collapsed under the weight of the leftist’s volumes of lies, slander, deceit, a sodomite desire to destroy this country. In essence, treason. Parallel all these self inflicted existential threats this country is very close to becoming unnfit for mortal men. I well remember a time not long ago that the leftist had a running love affair with communism – the former USSR, Cuba, and more like them as now evidence in South and Latin America including thge their tacit facilitation of the CCP. Their narrative adapts as easily as their useful idiots.
The idea that Russia would ‘lose’ in this conflict vs Ukraine, in any conventional sense, is preposterous.
Time for the US to back out of this stupid conflict that is none of our business. Why must we repeat these stupid, unwinnable forays into the Iraqs and Afghanistans of the world? We win absolutely nothing. We waste billions and trillions of dollars that could go to a number of productive ends, pick your favorite. We kill millions of innocent civilians and destroy the infrastructure of people who pose zero threat to the US.
We need a fundamental rethinking of all the military installments and personnel we have all over the world that cost a bloody fortune and do not represent good investment choices. We waste $$ on foolish forays while our infrastructure is old and crumbling, our borders are wide open, the bottom half of America lives in near-poverty (could go on).
Wake up and smell the coffee, dude.
The MIC is in control of the Congress. Political campaign donations would dry up from those “defense” companies if the warmaking was halted (they are actually offense corporations, as most of their products are for offensive military purposes).
The second entity pushing for war are the banks.
Same is it ever was…
Good luck wishing for “fundamental rethinking”.
I had a surprising conversation with an intelligent educated 73 year old yesterday. Lifelong Democrat, first voted for McGovern, then would have chosen RFK in 68. Not a hippie, but working class background. He thought it noble that we were resisting Putin’s imperialist plans…WTF? When the U.S. was in conflict with the aggressive USSR for fifty years these types were all about disarmament and nuclear freeze, and Reagan was a dangerous cowboy, etc. Now they are rabid warmongers who thirst for the blood of Russian soldiers.
Honestly, I think these people have issues with their parents.
They have been propagandized to the max. There was no internet. Only print and radio, then television. Look at who owns it all. These owners of information are the reason we got into all wars of the past 100 years. Especially WWI and WWII.
It’s a divide and conquer strategy with information. One side left, the other right. They get us fighting over things that do not threaten them in any real way. Everything still chugs along if our energy is sapped over abortion, trans bathrooms, vaccines and even guns etc. They still control the information which is mind control.
Back in my wars, John Mayer wrote a song which included the line “when they own the information, they can bend it all they want.” (A reference to the Bush administration and perceptions of war mongering- yellow cake, etc).
I suspect you could now find this musician voicing support for the current campaign- because his preferred mouthpieces are the ones doing the bending today.
We’re all susceptible- heck, if Tucker says something I’m going in with certain preconceived notions. But in our society today, even the very well educated lack discernment and will eat anything fed to them if they like the person holding the spoon (Covid hysteria anyone?). It’s pathetic- and I’m not limiting my critique to liberals. We ALL have a responsibility to think critically and evaluate the information we’re fed.
I appreciate this forum, and we’re all here because WE aren’t satisfied with being spoon fed.
Critical thinking- a lost art.
Democrats have 4 voting groups:
1. Forever welfare dependent, including illegals.
2. Old school democrat (as described above) & blue collar – criticize welfare, never comprehending they vote for politicians protecting all things welfare
3. Government, Unions, Rich, media, academia, WOKE, abortion / trans deviants
4. Mail in ballots, pre-programmed Dominion voting machines, CIA Hammer&Scorecard election-altering Computer Program.
Republicans have 2 voting groups
1. RINO Traitors
2. MAGA Patriots
Many so-called liberals are incapable of critical thinking and hopelessly brainwashed by our powerful and corrupt MSM. Research Dr. Malone’s or McCollough’s explanations of “mass formation psychosis”
They’re called “Baby Boomers” or spoiled little brats I like to call them. They sired a sightly bunch no less too.
Calm down I’m not forecasting the future. The power of the MIC is well understood, they aren’t going to be moved overnight. I am offering opinions on useful, but of course difficult, changes.
If you want to roll up and stay fetal position, defeatist, and accept your fate, then stay on the couch.
I’m glad General Washington and Sam Adams and the rest did not say ‘forget it dude, the British aren’t going anywhere, wake up and accept our fate. Don’t challenge the status quo.’
I’ll choose to keep speaking up and challenging the waste of taxpayer dollars and idiotic foreign policies.
Keep sharing. Keep speaking up. Keep looking forward to set sights on the end goals we want to ultimately reach. Appreciate it.
If the individual state legislatures still decided who sits in the US Senate it would make it more difficult for the MIC and special interests to buy influence.
I never thought much of that concept at all. Why give elites any more control than they already have?
Everything Buck said is true, or should be.
And everything you say, Cole, is true as well.
Everybody can see the truth of what’s happening.
We can thank the internet for that, I believe.
But the war pigs won’t give up the game without a fight.
There will have to be a radical paradigm shift;
Like the dollar losing it’s status as the global currency,
ending the petrodollar, thereby stopping the printing presses.
Cole, Western central banks are calling the shots, pun intended, as directed by filthy, mostly faceless billionaires. Our captured and corrupted neo-con politicians, who represent a large part of our (s)elected uniparty, are simply and shamelessly following orders, often without any sincere questioning or resistance. The endless wars and globalist elite schemes, such as the plandemic, are well-funded, well-orchestrated operations fueled by MSM/BigPharma propaganda used a means (i.e., borrowing/laundering trillions of tax dollars) to an end (NWO control, aka Great Reset). Indeed, same as it ever was. They will continue to operate with impunity until “we, the people” unite, educate ourselves and our children, and demand true freedom and justice. #GreatAwakening
This is assuming these agents are not manipulating elections. They are and we don’t have the means of wresting control back until an intervention opens that door.
I agree the Russian won’t allow a ‘lose’, the Ukraine has been a de facto part of Russia for ~350 years. The Russia/Ukraine ties predates our Revolution by 100 years.
I don’t want to be callous but at the very best this is a European issue. Let them duke it out.
As for Americans living near the poverty level, for decades the Liberals have always been saying everytime we go to war it’s the Poor or Minorities that die. They used that as a rally call against the Vietnam War, funny now that they can’t be drafted, they have no problem letting the Poor and Minorities die for a war that has no security issues for the US.
Funny that Liberal are hypocrites who want to literally bathe in the blood of Minorities and poor now.
I read on online source that not one of the Ukrainian elites in government have adult children who have been drafted or who are in the military.
similar to most US democrat politicians.
Using other people’s blood and sweat for self or ideological progress.
Evil is very boring. Same methodology, different cover.
Why do they push environment? Control over other people’s lives-just like the commies.
Why track people-control movement-just like commies.
Wait-they are marxists with fascist approaches. Materialistic, collectivist with religious zeal.
“We” are not running the show WEF NATO are……and their doing as they damn well please.
I appreciate the point, but cut off US $$ from WEF and NATO and they are toast. These entities kick up a lot of dust and draw a lot of attention, but they don’t do much without support of the (criminal) US govt.
If the US were to pull all support out of the debacle in Ukraine, for instance, game over.
That $$$ is funded by you every time you buy from a WEF-endorsing company.
Unfortunately, we need the NWO to keep doing what it’s doing. Putin WILL break them.
Western Military Aid Stolen 60% off the top 40% sold on black market.
Follow the money back to Congress and their families.
Start with the State Department for the most target rich environment on graft.
AND THE BIDEN FAMILY!
This corresponds with what Col. MacGregor has been saying as well.
This merc guy is crazy ? What is his motivation ? Money ? war /action junkie? Idealist( don’t think so } ? Didn’t listen to whole part – how many western mercs are there , is that mentioned ?
I see history repeating itself once again in the Ukraine. US military advisors on the ground to assist the Ukrainian forces against the Russians and Chinese. Hmmm, Vietnam anyone?
Quagmire in the making? Exactly. Just as planned by DC to distract from their evil deeds.
“Look! Squirrel!”
The Russians have no interest in quagmire, and they have irresistible tools to discourage Europe who would have to play the role of Laos in such a scenario. Fiat money has its limitations. So far the Germans have felt the joy of an alliance with the Brandon regime in the form of economic destruction and no heat. Pretty soon their idiot class will be thrown out and then Germany will likely choose to join Russia-China for a better, actually survivable, future. Europe will follow them.
Brandon and his ivy-league geniuses have lead us to the brink of annihilation, as they historically tend to do. They have succeeded in uniting Russia, China, much of Europe, India, portions of latin America, Africa, and the ME against the U.S predatory abuses. We have no future with this bunch of nihilists.
As I had commented last week, a friend had decided to take a contract in Ukraine. I think he lasted 2 weeks and this is a guy who has worked everywhere and in every condition – not young. He said it was a bloodbath and brutal. He knew if he didn’t get out of there he’d be dead. There’s no leadership, plan or direction. From what I’ve read elsewhere this is trench warfare. Back to WWI.
100% agree Aishe you are spot on.
Ukraine will not win without the western boots on their grounds. It’s going to be bye bye Brandon or WWIII. Mark my words. This is the way the defense contractors and politicians roll!
They won’t win with western boots either. We don’t have the manpower, spare parts, weapons, or fuel at this point to do anything but lose badly. We destroyed Nordstream 2, pressured the Germans into sending Leopard tanks, hamstrung our own military with covid mandates, and left half of our equipment in Afghanistan. We don’t have the manufacturing base to supply heavy weapons quickly, we sent most of our stockpile of artillery shells to Ukraine, emptied our Strategic Oil Reserve, and the other NATO forces are in worse shape than we are.
Look at the map. How does Ukraine win this? They have no room to maneuver, they have no combined arms capability, they have no air cover, and they have no resupply as the border is a clear demarcation point. Anything that allies try to deliver has to cross an observable barrier and can be targeted by Russkies. Perhaps more significant by way of being doomed, they have politicized imbeciles running the “defense.” That includes their idiot advisors from NATO. Like Hitler, they have faith in the courage and motivation of the individual soldier, and their tactic is to stand bravely (and helplessly) still and be obliterated while the enemy is free to deploy around them and bring to bear their offensive capacities in serial order. The Wehrmacht lost the war on these same battlefields in 1944-45 by their “Festung” strategy of holding out to the last man in dying pockets. The Russians are, understandably, using the same tactics against the hapless Ukrainians, and they still work. Those poor bastards.
Considering motive; every time an artillery barrage churns up the earth in this region, there is a good chance it churns up Soviet and German bones and materiel from that former conflict. The ones the Russians won, feeling the whole time they were defending themselves against vile aggressors, as is the case now.
I am grimly satisfied to see the immature children of the WEF receiving a dose of reality and hope that this adventure in failure can serve to destroy them and their perverse demonic interregnum. However I suspect that their stupidity is invincible until they personally feel what the Uke soldiers are experiencing. God grant that it comes sooner, before they can do more harm.
Charles, your phrase above, “their stupidity is invincible” is succinct and accurate of so much of the mis-leadership in Washington. One of the most critical communicative end-runs for a great swath of the American public is to let the world know that ‘our’ views are in direct opposition to the moral depravity, and geopolitical rapery of their positions.
Yet the populist, anti-war Trump lost to the dementia-ridden resident campaigning in the basement. That says it all. I hate to break it to you, but there is no democracy or democratic republic in America. This is a Banana Republic! We all need to come to grips with this reality, get off the couch, and start preparing to secure liberty here at home, not in Ukraine… and to save the once-free world. Our children’s and grandchildren’s future depends on it!
Our beloved system of government did nothing to prevent our pending collapse. It was exploited to introduce agents of suicide into every level of leadership, in and out of government. Until fundamental election reform restores decency to our land, the drift will continue. As it is we have no time left to waste. Remember, nature abhors a vacuum, and the US will be quickly brokered into pieces by those nations not foolish enough to place childish progs into power. It’s ALL. ON. US.
Not to worry, Ukraine will be saved by wunderwaffen. At least that was the line that Hitler fed the Germans in WW2 as the Russian tanks rolled across the Siegfried Line. Needless to say, it didn’t work then and it won’t work now. The only difference is that the T-34 has been replaced by the T-90.
I would like someone to ask Biden if he would be responsible if we get into a war on his clock
He doesn’t care.
Douglas Macgregor describes the war similarly. In one video he mentioned that he had been reading something by George Soros. In it, Soros says that Russia and China are the last nationalist countries (countries that care about their borders and want to maintain sovereignty), and thus the war in Ukraine is an attempt to destroy Russia’s sovereignty. In an article on the war, https://www.globalresearch.ca/ukraine-hammer-about-fall/5805101, Mike Whitney describes the shocking level of incompetence:
“How do we explain the fact that the NATO nations have been frantically scraping the bottom of the barrel to find weapons for Ukraine? Did our leaders really start a war with Russia not knowing whether they had sufficient supplies of weapons and ammo to fight the enemy? That appears to be the case.
“And were our leaders so sure that the conflict would be a low-intensity insurgency that they never planned for a full-blown, combined-arms, ground war? Once again, this appears to be true.
“These aren’t trivial mistakes. The level of incompetence in the planning of this war is beyond anything we’ve ever seen before. It appears that all the preparation was focused on provoking a Russian invasion, not on the developments that would happen soon afterwards. What’s clear, is that the Pentagon never “gamed out” the actual war itself or the conflict as it is presently unfolding. Otherwise, how does one explain these glaring errors in judgement:
Is there anything they got right?
Macgregor says the Russians fire around 66,000 rounds a day, the Ukrainians are lucky if they fire around 6,000. The Ukrainians have lost around 150,000 men, with about 35,000 wounded, the Russians have lost around 35,000…. Putin’s popularity in his country is around 85%.
Who stands to benefit from fighting this war that Ukraine cannot win? To Russia, Ukraine’s neutrality vis a vis NATO is of critical national security importance. It would be how we in the US would feel about China taking over Mexico and Canada. But Ukraine is not essential to US national security.
Who benefits by the spending of billions and billions of dollars we don’t have on a country that is not essential to our national security, and which will have to be rebuilt with more billions of American dollars?
Those billions come right back to the Democrat Party!
I suggest every elected official at the federal and state level who supports the US funding and assistance of Ukraine should get a uniform, gear and a gun and be airdropped into Ukraine to fight. It’s truly a win win for the voters.
The Russian military has an axiom, “It isn’t the best army that wins, it’s the least incompetent.”
The Ukrainians are more incompetent than the Russians.
We know that the Piano Man of Kiev is scamming the world.He and his cronies live like kings,while the army is unable to even evacuate the wounded.Our aid is subverted,a healthy percentage sold on the black market,and none of the profit goes to the people or more than a percentage of the equipment to the armed forces of the Ukraine.Yet the Piano Man demands more.The European governments seem all to happy to play in this scam,but why should we?We’re giving the scammers equipment they can’t even run without our help,which will inevitable lead to our soldiers being in the line of fire.We know these things,and the facts we know are bad enough.Can you even imagine what we don’t know yet?What’s being hidden behind the scenes of the whole debacle?
Follow the money.
Lockheed-Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, BAE Systems, L3 Harris, Huntington Ingalls, Leidos, and Amentum are the top 10 defense contractors with the highest revenue.
The real question is this: If the reality on the ground is that Ukrainian forces are being wiped out at a high rate that is unsustainable, and Russian is about to bring on line 200k more fresh troops to sweep away the dwindling Ukrainian forces, and NATO views a loss in Ukraine as unacceptable, and Russia views this as an existential threat, then what happens next? Moscow has placed anti-ballistic batteries on buildings to prepare for a decapitation strike. They have a nuclear hypersonic equipped ship in the Atlantic that can strike America if a nuclear attack is incoming. Scott Ritter described our situation as 1 second to midnight on the nuclear clock. If the world survives this situation it should be paramount to insist that none of these peoples or nations has the right to hold the world hostage with their civilization ending weapons IMO.
What an absolute unmitigated disaster-for us-this has been. If we still have a country a few years from now, those of us not communists or woke (same thing) will look back in complete amusement-shock-disgust of how the West was conned into this disaster. Well, we all know who the con men are…What a farce.
I don’t think the powers that be were conned, they started the whole thing! If it wasn’t for the U.S. and NATO there would be no war. It’s always been about breaking down countries so the the parasites can rule over all.
Humanity is incapable of looking itself squarely in the proverbial mirror and taking honest responsibility. The more advanced our tech is, the worse we get. It will finally end in collapse, but the Lord will assemble his better country from the remains. This is where my hope lies. The US is a cesspool and will get flushed.
I use certain vids and podcasts to put me to sleep. It’s not because I’m not interested or invested in the content, they just have a certain high-concentration element combined w a monotonous quality, like tonal or hard to understand, that exhausts the mind and puts me right out. I’ve added this to the list. Good find, thanks.
Top notch geopolitics. Mostly about Ukraine daily. https://rumble.com/c/theduran
The article is no surprise to me. I listen to the above podcast daily. Highly recommend.
The Duran has Scott Ritter on as a guest today.
Someone on Red State keeps writing that the Ukes are winning and Russia is losing big.
Several people I know understand that we have been lied to about nearly everything important for at least 40 years. They also believe that Russia attacked Ukraine without reason and that Russia will conquer Europe if they are not stopped. Fortunately, in their minds, Russia is being defeated and they will be driven out of the Donbass and Crimea.
I never know where to begin.
Russia is on our side in this. They took out 42 biolabs and rescued thousands of children. Ukraine is not a country as much as it is money laundering entity.
The MSN narrative to keep your $$$ flowing into Ukraine!
Lot of armchair generals out there.
IMO, the goal of the Western world, as it pertains to this war, is to simply kill off as many humans as they can. The fact that it’s mostly white people is a bonus to the woke scum. Anyway, everything they do seems to be designed for depopulation. If they actually cared about peace, they would have made peace already.
100%.
So.. as suspected the “throw money at it” agenda is just fleecing the US taxpayer scheme.. Will we ever end the “Nation Building” plan of corruption ever end ..?
Planned disaster from the start.
Decent human beings want peace
Thank you for the map, Sundance!
The very same people who were vociferously against the war in Vietnam and against the War on Terror are suddenly now the most rabid advocates for a nuclear war with Russia..? One is forced to wonder what’s really behind all this insanity.
Perhaps we could begin with Trump’s phone call to Zelensky – worthy, according to 99% of the putrid, congenitally dishonest Uniparty/media, of an impeachment. Take a look who’s side everyone is really on.
If any of this was true how would the Ukrainians hold onto Bakhmut for so long?
Russia husband’s their troops. They do not use them as cannon fodder. They somehow realize they’re real people.
They lay waste to the fields and the opposition with artillery before they advance.
devastation created by horrific modern warfare
but are both side modern ? are both side horrific?
Shiny thing video. This is what gets the people hooked on manufactured crisis.
Zelinsky is committed to fighting to the last Ukranian as long as our government keeps lining his pockets.
There’s people out there who think the US has done a great thing by arming 404.
Everyday people, mostly libtards, but also conservatives.
I don’t get it, either.
When did supporting ridiculous war become a thing?
The internet works both ways, I guess.
What we here believe to be another wasteful, horrible war of bankers, WEF, MIC concerns,
Others believe to be a justifiable defense of a Western nation under assault from Russia.
Theres some serious info war stuff going on. Propaganda from both sides.
But I continue to believe that Russia was provoked into invasion by NATO countries.
And Russia will win, whatever “win” means in this war.
Russia is winning the war. Their economy is doing fine.
Non-English European news admit that. One headline was claiming an “economic tsunami” in ’23 as a result of the energy crisis and fertilizer issues.
A weakened West is fodder for russia and china.
These US deep state people are destroying everything to cover up their crimes: chemical warfare research labs, personal family fraud, war complex growth, malthusian philosophy, and a paper tiger economic growth.
There is no way out of this except via MAGA and its victory. We must pray, fast and act towards that goal.
God help us!

The US can be legitimately viewed as either the Great Savior or Great Satan, alternately. Right now the only good is found among the citizens, most having no place or power in big business or government. We are what is delaying a Sodom-related end to this nation.
