Zelensky should be arrested and put on trial in Ukraine for selling out his citizens. The proxy war could not have been choreographed without help from within..him.

Kharkiv was gone the day Belgorod was attacked. Odessa was gone the day Black Sea Fleet was attacked from there.

USA’s actions just prove that BRICS needs to continue to grow. Responsibly, of course, but without a pause. The more countries are out of the dollar system, the better for a dedollarized financial system. And the freer these countries will be.

This is a terrible thing, that our western leaders have done in Ukraine and Gaza, the worry is that our Governments will want to keep this going to the detriment of the ordinary people of Ukraine

I've been wondering how much longer Ukrainian soldiers would go on obeying orders which would ensure their death? They are no cowards, the Ukrainians, but even the bravest have their limits.

Ukraine winning by moving backwards and Russia losing by moving forwards😂

I imagine that the Ukrainian guys at the front are hoping for peace....not more weapons

I bet those ukrainian soldiers are starting to think they were fighting on the wrong side. 😮

Aide to Ukraine come from taxpayers, they should decide, not corrupt politicians.

Russia has moved 10kms westward since the liberation of Avdeevka ! Glory to the Russian Federation !

We Germans have to go out of the US - Natostan as soon as possible. Means immediately.

Here in Midland Ontario nobody gives a crap about Ukraine.

When militarys collapse, it usually happens fast and unexpectedly.

❤😊RUSSIA IS WINNING BIG.

How on earth are you able to recall and pronounce the names of all the Ukrainian villages, towns, and cities, and to do it so well is certainly deserving of accolades. Very well presented with excellent skills at analysing the moves of both armies. Kudos.

This would be a good time for China to take back Taiwan.

Western nations are driven by only one important factor, PR. However, PR doesn't win military nor economic conflicts.

NATO officers like it in the rear

Ukraine is collapsing as fast as Germany in spring 1945 .

"So much Russia winning alone while the EU and Nato lose together" "The situation develops not in Ukraines favour" -Captain Obvious

BRICS GDP was bigger than that of G7. BRICS including its 5 new members in 2024 is even larger, plus many new prospective countries queuing up to join.

Serbian brother is watching in Georgia, USA. Thank you

Most of the 60B is going into the districts and pockets of all the politicians that voted for the bill after the money is laundered through Kiev of course.

Democrats and the Republicans. The value is the same.

Everyone in the collective west and Ukraine that is asked to go to the front or to give up their money must demand whoever is asking them to do that to lead by example. There is no need for anyone to die for their political ambitions and greed. Do NOT let yourself be used by other people. Think for yourself and the welfare of your family. Do not let them be cannon fodder. Hold the evil politicians to account.

Elite units are refusing to deploy. Regular units: wait, you guys can refuse?

Swedes are so prejudice against Russia even in the best of times when Swedish companies boomed in Russia and Eastern Europe during Soviet Union collapse. Coming from the US, they seemed so much less informed and so much more jaded for no reason. I lived in Sweden for 3 years and worked for an international Swedish company for 7.

The Institute for the study of war is the Kagan Nuland comedy show.

Thank you Alexander ❤

people who think it's about Western "resolve" are about to be shown the limits of Western power and how they can do everything in their power and it can be insufficient, if their goal is maniacal and unachievable, as it is in Ukraine

Ukrainian Brigades should save their lives and defi orders.

500,000 dead and counting. When will the Ukrainian troops realize it is over except the crying.

Thanks for your honest non bias reporting - God Bless you Alexander.

Russia will never be defeated by NATO. They are fighting for their survivor.

All this equipment arriving in Ukraine in one big lump is going to make a large easy target for Russian missiles before it can redeploy far and wide.

Ukraine soldiers heard about more military aid to Ukraine they probably responded with “ f USA and f Zelensky “.

Fighting for America and fighting for your own Country is the difference

Thanks Alexander for for todays 88 minutes of brilliant commentary.

Russian troops are firmly in control of the battlefield situation and are steadily pushing back Ukrainian forces, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has said. Speaking at the meeting with top Russian commanders on Monday, the minister announced that Moscow had liberated the villages of Pervomayskoe and Novomikhailovka, west and southwest of the Russian city of Donetsk, as well as the settlement of Bogdanovka not far from Artyomovsk, known in Ukraine as Bakhmut. The latter strategic city was captured by Russia last year after months of bitter fighting. He added that the control zone was also being expanded in Berdychi and Georgievka, north and west of Donetsk. ”Our high combat potential allows us to constantly strike the enemy and prevent him from holding the defense line,” Shoigu noted, estimating Kiev’s losses at half-a-million troops since the start of the conflict. - RT

Thank you for your great work, Alexander ❤

ISW, or as Andrei Martyanov describes it....."The Institute for the Study of the Whatever They Study Over There". :)

RECORD NUMBERS OF UKRAINIAN TROOPS SURRENDER! Approx 200 have chosen to surrender and preserve their lives in the last 24 hours !

The Doors have a really great song about Ukraine called -This Is The End 🎶 🎼

US digging its own grave

Maybe the brigades want some of that 61 billion.

The Israelis used up over $1 billion in one night, so $14 billion isn't as much as it sounds in the context of overpriced weaponry.

True though, China has never stoked this conflict, the Minsk agreements, the Turkey negotiations at the start of hostilities all would have stopped this needless conflict.

I am not a military person.... You are in fact one of the best military commentators

ZELENSKY TO RECEIVE US BODYGUARDS? It’s been speculated that he is so hated by his own people that out side help is required to protect the failed comedian .

I miss the Alexander shout/yell at the end: "HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!" It always jogged my brain awake The outro lately is so calm and chill I don't know what to make of it; feels like he's holding back

The US is now considering canibalizing 401K accounts for purchases of T-bills.

KHARKIV TELEVISION /COMMUNICATION TOWER DESTROYED! It was a strategic piece of Ukro military and TV communications . No more Zelensky reruns anymore 😂

Is it insubordination to retreat from an impossible situation? Should soldiers lose their lives, and the territory, or retreat and live to fight another day? I object to the narrative that these soldiers are insubordinate because they refuse pointless suicide missions. I saw a video from a retreating soldier saying they have so many killed and wounded they are no longer capable of defense and will try to retreat at night. It’s ‘Ukraine supporters’ who talk sh*t on twitter for these guys saving their own lives. It’s absolutely disgusting.

Here in Midland Ontario the whole Dixon family laughs at the ramblings of Insane Arthur Tane 😂 Marion Dixon 🤣 Geoffrey Dixon 🤣 Stephan Dixon 🤣 Penny Dixon 🤣 James Dixon 🤣 Kyle Dixon Shirley Dixon 🤣 And of coarse myself, Genuine Peter Dixon™️

Rotation of troops on the Ukrainian side seems to have been limited and slow due to poor management of senior officers and advisors from the west.

I genuinely want to see if the much vaunted additional Western military aid will make any difference.

US submerge-level lend lease didn't arrive until after Stalingrad. The USSR's removal of their manufacturing base to the Urals was the definive element that submerged the German war machine. Not lend-lease. That was extremely helpful but not definitive. That IS where the comparison with Russia and China is useful.

Arguing that any Banderite/Zelensky victory in Ukraine would be because of "will" reminds me of the Nazi German film "Triumph of the will" - not unlike that Wagnerian ideology permeating that regime. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Thank you Alexander

24:00 Ugledar - ugle (уголь) means coal, dar (дар) means gift. So, the toponym is about coal gifted place.

Wild bunch - maybe this is the best name for the current American administration! Acting really irresponsible and reckless! Thank you Alexander!

the banana state of america really takes good care offs its citizens, HAHAHA.

Anyone else obsessed with this war? I know I am. I have been following this war religiously since day one. I never miss Alex's daily podcast. Highlights so far? When Wagner PMC was sweeping all before it. Lowlights? Ukraine's Kharkov offensive, the sinking of the Moskva.

It occurs to me that the US approach to China is in line with the US approach to peace talks with Russia. The old "we speak, you listen" strategy that works not at all and perhaps that is the point.

UKRAINE IS LOSING BADLY!

US gona supply Ukraine not what they need, but what MIC ready to sell.

A survey reported that 62 per cent of Ukrainians would fight for their country, while a third wouldn't, the survey might have been carried out for family fortunes. The third who wouldn't fight must be men aged 25 to 45,according to figures showing hundreds of thounds escaping Ukraine rather than dying.

The refusal to go into combat by certain Ukrainian units is reminiscent of the mutinies of 1917 in the French army. These mutinies followed extremely deadly and inconclusive offensives, led by a high command that did not care much about the lives of the soldiers.

PERVOMAYSKOE AND NOVOMIKHAILOVKA LIBERATED! In less than 12 hours both village strongholds have been captured by Russian liberators!

Excellent analysis

Micron is a funny guy, he’s got the brain of the Cro-Magnon man.

❤😊GOOD DAY SIR

What defences can they build to survive a FAB 3000 ?

What if China starts dropping US debt bonds in the market?

Beginning of the end...

Undying thanks to the illustrious present-day Anglo Saxon Chronicler, Alexander Mercouris. A lifeline towards a relatively objective understanding of harsh truths.

Sure signs of the Dam starting to collapse at multiple locations

Good day Alexander

Thank you Alexander, take good care friend

Donald Trump sold out

Russians need to take Odessa and link with transnistria ASAP instead of falling for the trap in Kharkiv. If they don't they'll regret it later.

Alexander. There are strong rumours that the French have put 2000 troops into the Odessa region. Have you heard anything about this? If these rumours are true, would this be an indication that the Ukrainian army is in a critical condition?

❤😊UKRAINE HAS COLLAPSED

Big problems for Ukraine it seems with soldiers moral. Soon the rains may begin when Bradleys and fighting vehikles are of no use for Ukrain. Building fortifikations may also be difficult to build in mud, rain and with russian bombardments. The difficulties begin to get so complex they are not to master. Everyone in the West is pulling on a different rope with puting soldiers in. A nightmare is beginning, better an end with horror than horror witout end but Ukranian people still may have the choice what is best for them.

Another great show. You’re the best 🎉

❤😊THANK YOU SIR

if the war in ukraine shifts to the west, then I am curious to see whether the ukrainian and nato units will also hide in villages and cities behind the non ethnic russian civilians.

Alexander is exceptionally talented in his style of delivering an overview of current geopolitical events.

Always brilliant Alexander.

Great work. Thanks so much.

Good analysis

Guess what? UK troops in Estonia are being withdrawn back to the UK oppppppss.

Some day , I hope and pray that my country will have a leader who loves us, and loves the country. Just like President Vladimir Putin .

Sounds like the Ukrainian troops have finally come to their senses.

1:23:59 Another example is the Vietnamese war. How come the US did not "overwhelm" North Vietnam?

The West continues to make fatal mistakes one after another as if they lost the ability to learn. Europe blindly followed order to crawl onto Russia's door step and caused an unnecessary war. Then they went along with their master's sanctions that backfired badly onto themselves. And each and every European political leader kept mum about the destruction of their energy lifeline that had kept their economies humming in the past 7 decades, perhaps under intense fear of offending the master or perhaps all of them had become victims of blackmail by U.S. intelligence apparatus for their past misdeeds. They kept forking out gigantic amount of money to buy sky-high energy from across the Atlantic in the form of frozen gas -- so much so that nearly all their industries had to move out of Europe and went somewhere else in order to survive, hollowing out their own economies in the process. When Europe followed the U.S. in rejecting Russia as part of the European community, China extended a helping hand. After the imposition of atomic-like sanctions on Russia, the U.S. and its cohorts have been left high and dry when China took over the Russia market worth billions of dollars of cars, trucks, smartphones, computers and peripherals, washers, dryers, fridges, air-conditioners, ovens, cooktops, television sets, sound system, toasters, juicers and everything else in-between, including high tech chips and precision CNC machining equipment, not to mention basic consumer goods like shoes and clothing and Christmas trees and decorations. Now, the West cries foul and "warns" China against closer cooperation with the Russian Federation. How pathetic is that? All the people on the Earth should wish Antony Blinken a successful mission to China, one more time.

Always an excellent video, Alex. Thank you !

Please keep de accent of village and cities as from the very beginning. It’s charming recognizable. You have a special and friendly tone. Following your great analysis and thoughts every day. Thanks Alexander❤
