Because these videos are directed to the audience of a channel with an already established following base

I think so too. I mean i do my best to actively follow the developments in Ukraine and even for me these sorts of channels are just too obsessive about every little minutiae of the battlefield. These videos really don't have much mass appeal beyond a very specific audience that is hyper-focused on following the most up to date updates of every FPV drone strike and every single building and tree line taken. To me this frankly isn't very interesting... i have a limited amount of free time and there are many other global events to keep up with, but i do think it's important that there are people who document everything and keep track of the maps so that the big picture analysts have solid data to draw from. Anyway, all that is to say that his audience probably understood the joke.

Nope.

They're not pro-Russia, they're just realistic.

Thanks for posting about this. I was actually looking for a good source to share.

Also, just fyi for those unfamiliar with the political situation in Georgia, a few tidbits of info:

1. The current president of Georgia who is conspiring with the opposition to try and deny the result of the election is actually a French citizen educated in the US. She barely even speaks Georgian.

2. The opposition is deeply tied not just to western intelligence agency funded NGOs but also to the Ukrainian Nazi movement, and a prominent Nazi who participated in the mass murder of pro-Russian protesters in Odessa in 2014 has recently been seen in Tbilisi.

Also, a bunch of Ukrainian and European politicians were literally on the ground and took part in the last attempt to overthrow the Georgian govenrnment when the opposition astroturfed protests against the anti-NGO law.

And yeah, i know that some people have pointed out in the past that Georgian Dream is by no means perfect and is or has been in the past associated with some notorious Georgian oligarchs with ties to the West (though, after all, the same can be said for Putin's party too). The fact remains that if both Nazis and Western imperialists want to overthrow you, you must be doing something right.

This is definitely true. I mean they wouldn't be making videos literally every day covering the most minute and for the most part not very relevant developments in obsessive detail if they didn't think they could monetize this. But as far as this particular video title is concerned I think it was more of a joke as i explain in my other comment.

Okay so i have to clarify here, this is a joke title. As far as military summary channels go this one is not that bad, it has actually been fairly neutral (not that that's necessarily a good thing, but they're Singaporean so they have a complicated relationship to the anti-US camp) in covering the conflict, and some minor clickbait-y sensationalism aside they admit in most of what they post the obvious, which is that Russia is clearly winning and advancing, and that this is a trend that is going to continue.

The guy tweeted about exactly this video title telling the pro-Russia viewers to basically chill, this video just covers specifically the one day in a very long time when Russia didn't make any advances (according to him) while Ukraine made some very minor regains (this is completely normal and it's why i always tell people don't obsess about the most minute day to day shifts of the front line); these are likely to be reversed in a few days anyway.

Don't get me wrong, there are tons of channels out there that unironically post videos with titles like this, and yes the pro-Ukraine social media crowd really does live in an alternate reality (with very few exceptions), but this channel isn't one of those.

I'm not a military expert so i don't know what "peace configuration" means exactly in terms of organizational structures (BTGs vs brigades, and so on, i'm not into all these technical details), but what the article says about Russia entering with a very small force is true and has since been confirmed even by western sources.

As for whether or not the article is credible, that's up to you to decide but i'll just point out that all the article really does is cite Ukrainian sources. You are free to disagree with the analysis but the facts are what they are.

This whole internecine shitshow happening in Bolivia is starting to smell more and more of CIA...

Excellent analysis!

This is literally what liberal economic theory promises though. The main selling point of capitalism when it's pitched to you in school as to why it's supposed to be something that you as an average person should support is that free market competition will supposedly bring innovations in production that drive prices down and then everyone can afford more stuff. Material abundance for the everyman is supposed to be THE main appeal of the whole system. That's the trade-off you're promised for accepting to be a wage slave while a few people get obscenely rich off of your labor.

Yet now constantly the capitalist media tells us that stuff being cheap is actually not good, that it's "bad for the economy". And while they love to talk about "fiscal responsibility" when they blame the poor for being poor, they simultaneously berate you as being selfish and harming the economy when you don't spend enough. At some point even the most apolitical person will start to ask themselves: if stuff isn't getting cheaper but rather the opposite, then how are we supposed to afford to do that, and why the fuck are we even supporting this system anymore?

And the irony of ironies is that what the liberal fairy tales promised us would be happening here if we just did enough capitalism is now happening in socialist China, and most decidedly NOT in the neoliberal West where inflation is rampant, a majority of people are in debt, and a considerable chunk of us are struggling just to deal with the costs of living.

Ukraine isn't a sovereign country.

They can't understand the kind of diversity of thought and respect for national sovereignty that exists in BRICS, the fact that each country first and foremost looks to their own national interests. Because in the Western bloc ideological uniformity is ruthlessly enforced, and dissent from the neoliberal Atlanticist line is absolutely not tolerated (as we are seeing by how they have been treating countries like Slovakia and Hungary), and national interests are totally subordinated to the greater imperialist project (hence why Germany allowed its own critical infrastructure to be obliterated without as much as a protest).
