He was the dog that caught the car. 00:08:14 Putin has been able to cheaply and easily manipulate electoral cycles in the West. 00:11:13 Perception of an existential threat drove the British response in the Second World War. 00:13:11 Authoritarians no longer believe West capable of standing up against their aggression. 00:15:09 North Korean army has army of 1m plus. 5,000 a month is pocket change for them. 00:18:37 Putin knows that a lot of Americans have lost patience with the war in Ukraine. 00:21:52 Most wars are aggregation of past wars’ tactics - 90% the last war and 10% new stuff. 00:28:39 The notion a wonder weapon can change the entire trajectory of the war is a fantasy. 00:30:39 Conventional deterrence has broken down – we need to reinvest thinking about it. 00:35:57 Zelensky understands his country is at threat of being extinguished by Russia. ---------- LINKS: https://x.com/WarintheFuture https://mickryan.substack.com/ https://www.csis.org/people/mick-ryan https://mwi.westpoint.edu/adjunct-scholars/mick-ryan/ https://x.com/LowyInstitute https://x.com/CSIS ---------- BOOKS: War Transformed: The Future of Twenty-First-Century Great Power Competition and Conflict Hardcover (2022) White Sun War: The Campaign for Taiwan (2023) The War for Ukraine: Strategy and Adaptation Under Fire (2024) ---------- ARTICLES: https://www.forces.net/ukraine/death-thousand-cuts-warns-former-general-ukraine-war-enters-new-phase https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-is-more-dangerous-than-when-it-first-invaded-strategist-2024-4 https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/07/04/it-took-russia-three-months-and-thousands-of-lives-to-capture-one-isolated-ukrainian-neighborhood/ https://edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2024/02/02/exp-mick-ryan-interview-fst-020202aseg1.cnn https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/ukraine-war-how-check-russia-s-momentum ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: kharpp - Reconstruction project supporting communities in Kharkiv and Przemyśl https://kharpp.com/ Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Ryan McBeth is an influential YouTuber, Author, triathlete, Army veteran and programmer. Ryan makes educational and OSINT videos, that look at the war in Ukraine from a military perspective. Today we’ll be talking about the two side’s strategies in the war, tactics, equipment, morale, and training. ---------- CHAPTERS: 00:02:06 From a strategic level North Korea finally has something that Russia wants. 00:07:12 I don't know why the US has manufactured these de-escalatory red lines. 00:08:56 What if they go nuclear? Putin will be dead. That’s not an outcome he wants. 00:11:10 We haven't mentally prepared our populations for fact we're already in WWIII. 00:13:19 Russia is basically a bully that owns a gas station. A mafia run gas station. 00:16:53 One of the issues is that there aren't necessarily enough weapons to give. 00:19:54 At some point you need to mobilise – the bodies to pull the triggers of guns. 00:24:53 I’m of opinion that either candidate is going to be ok when it comes to Ukraine. 00:27:25 Some are rearming. Poland's going to have largest land army in Europe soon. 00:33:35 We may just have more footage of Russian war crimes – executions of POWs. 00:36:06 Russians bombarded with patriotic propaganda and stories of WWII sacrifices. 00:40:02 Even though US supplying weapons we're still collaborating on spaceflight. 00:42:29 If it were a real issue, the US would revoke security clearance of Elon Musk. 00:44:22 Artillery would help Ukraine a lot. Long range weapon systems and the F-16. ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER - A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- LINKS: https://www.youtube.com/@RyanMcBethProgramming https://www.ryanmcbeth.com/ https://ryanmcbeth.substack.com/ https://www.instagram.com/therealryanmcbeth/?hl=en ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Do please subscribe to his channel for videos updates on the war in Ukraine as well as conversations with engaging speakers, expert guests, and other YouTubers. ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER - A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- CHAPTERS: 00:02:05 It's a war of attrition. It's about who can tolerate the horrors of war longer. 00:05:12 How does empire benefit you if you don't have running water and heat? 00:06:41 Ukraine should be going after Russia's thermal power plants in winter. 00:09:56] Donald Trump is working with Vladimir Putin, based on all available evidence. 00:11:55 The only thing dictators want is legitimacy and respect, nothing negative. 00:16:02 I'm going to resist this coalition of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Putin. 00:20:55 In the US we view life as a game. And the scoreboard is your bank account. 00:23:29 10,000 troops sent by Kim Jong Un is nothing in the grand scheme of this war. 00:28:37 Technology will make it impossible for North Korea to remain a closed society. 00:32:56 Idea of frozen conflict entertains the idea Russia would ever stop willingly. 00:35:30 Putin talking to Elon Musk. Musk endorsed Trump. Putin talking to Trump. 00:39:03 Put your head back in the sand is the strategy of a lot of European politicians. 00:42:17 Poland, The Baltics, Finland join NATO. And they all have peace. 00:46:31 During Soviet times, Ukraine was an economic and engineering powerhouse. 00:49:04 We must apply pressure to our politicians to be doing more for Ukraine. 00:51:32 Stay informed. Stay engaged. Keep supporting Ukraine. Russia will break first. ---------- LINKS: https://www.youtube.com/@JakeBroe https://twitter.com/RealJakeBroe https://www.instagram.com/jakebroe/ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jakebroe https://www.patreon.com/join/jakebroe ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.
