For nearly a thousand days, Ukraine has resisted full-scale Russian aggression: the heroism of its armed forces and its people stand as an example to all free nations.

Edition No60 | 07-11-2024 - This is a piece I had planned on writing as a rebuke to Biden administration, in the event of a Kamala Harris victory. Perhaps the topic becomes even more urgent now, as the US government enters a transition phase to a second Trump term of office. With the US apparently supplying only 10% of the promised and approved aid to Ukraine that was mandated in the April aid bill, we must ask, can Trump really be much worse than this? It’s a point Ukrainians have been making for some time – that delusions and weakness under the Democrats may be more dangerous than facing the stark reality of a Trump presidency. ~~~~~ 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 ~~~~~ At the start of November Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Ukraine’s allies to stop just ‘watching’ amid the threat from North Korea, and before the troops sent to Russia by Pyongyang reached the battlefields of Kursk and Donbas. The geopolitical rubbernecking continued, and little seems to have been done of any impact. No new supplies to address the significantly escalatory threat and no lifting of existing of red lines. Pathetically John Kirby announced that ‘no new red lines’ would be imposed in response to Russia’s successful attempts to drag North Korea into the war, a statement that has the deterrence power of brandishing a limp lettuce to deter a charging bull. ~~~~~ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ~~~~~ NEWS SOURCES: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/02/volodymyr-zelenskyy-urges-allies-to-stop-just-watching-amid-north-korea-threat https://www.independent.co.uk/news/ap-ukraine-russia-kyiv-vladimir-putin-b2640107.html https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/10/31/ukraine-has-received-only-10-of-latest-us-aid-package-zelenskyy-reveals/ https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/zelenskyy-criticises-poland-for-failing-on-military-aid-and-defence-front/ https://www.politico.eu/article/volodymyr-zelenskyy-confirms-tomahawk-missiles-victory-plan-blasts-us-for-giving-away-secrets-ukraine-white-house-russia-war-leak/ ~~~~~ USEFUL LINKS: Vatnik Soup https://twitter.com/P_Kallioniemi http://www.medbat.org.ua/en/ Real World News https://kyivindependent.com/ https://www.kyivpost.com/ https://english.nv.ua/ https://www.themoscowtimes.com/ https://meduza.io/en https://meduza.io/ https://novayagazeta.eu/ https://www.newsweek.com/topic/russia...

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.

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.
