Though this gentleman - Phillip Karber - deserves all possible respects as a former marine and then analyst, this presentation is a mix of absurd (major part) and truth (minor part).Very good to learn that the absurd part is being sold so good across the military folks. The farther they are from reality, the better

His thoughts and imaginations about strategies (to invade "poor neighbours"), all those "fronts" (that exist in Ukraine) and so on.

Well it's thought very bad form in Europe to invade your neighbours........ and, TBH, history suggests it doesn't really work

The USA ?? Maybe not so..................

Technical capabilities? No-one with any sense has ever underestimated Soviet/Russian capabilities... but there really isn't a lot of cash behind them .... rolling them out in quantity is tough when people have a vote

There are not my " biggest threat " rofl but you really should watch and inwardly digest the focus of their electronic warfare on the battlefield especially the elimination of enemy emitters and command hubs...

No, too much work, no rest for the weary. But I put in my two penny worth. Just gone digging the weeds at my dacha. Will be a fan of the English football team tomorrow as I was in 1966 being just a kid but still clearly remembering that play and even key players.

Doing Soviet history at university we were told that in the 70 odd years of its existence the USSR had invaded the territory of every one of its neighbours. Putin's got a long way to go but he has made a start.

Strictly speaking we dont have any neighbours other than the Republic of Ireland and I don't think we have ever invaded them.

"Britain has invaded all but 22 countries in the world in its long and colourful history, new research has found"

It's not RT, it's The Telegraph :

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/...uxembourg.html

And so what? The key point is interpretation of the word "invasion".USSR, Britain and US invaded Germany in 1944, was it for bad or for good?
USSR invaded a part of China in 1945 to take away the Japanese. And so on and so forth....
