Id like to comment on the issue of Ukrainian/Russian/Soviet names. Prompted by Alexanders mention that maybe the Russian officials continuing to use Soviet names is somehow connected to Soviet sympathies. That is completely off the mark and requires clarification. Actually while the Donetsk and Lugansk oblast were partially under control od DPR/LPR and partially Ukraine, Ukraine had been "decommunizing" names in the area, changing them. Naturally DPR/LPR and naturally Russia do not recognize the authority of Ukraine to administer these territories, therefore all names of places Russia uses are as they were on the date of declaration of independence by DPR/LPR, Ukrainian renamings nonwithstanding. Soviet sympathies/antipathies have absolutely nothing to do with it, its a matter of legal affirmation of authority/sovereignity or lack thereof. I hope Alexander could mntion this in the next program as I feel otherwise a rather misleading impression may have been created by todays comment.
In regards to the Hersch revelations and inferences of disillusioned palace intrigue, “the rats are leaving the sinking ship!”Captain Biden and his Gilligan’s Island crew are the convenient scapegoats offered up by the true and hidden masters of the imperial Anglo American Zionist cabal. In the new psychopathic version of the Wizards of Oz, we will be exhorted to “pay no attention to the men behind the curtain!”
Bakhmut now experiencing withdrawal symptoms
They are using your information that’s a few days old. Being a HUGE FAN I noticed right away ❤️
In Russian from the name Soledar… as you rightfully said Sol = salt, but also dar = gift. So it's a Saltgift or "Gift of Salt"
I would love to see video of the salt mine and the antique weapons. I bet they have some awsome antique guns.
Russia is weak
When the alleged worlds second largest army can’t take a small town like bakhmut after 8 months of attacks the world knows the truth
Russia is a paper tiger
Good Day! This is Alex. I've found I can earn over 200 USD every single day by making multiple simple YouTube videos pandering to my pro-Russian/anti-West audience. It needs constant reassurance that things are going well for Russia and my channel is here to provide that. The keys to my success are to find a few themes and talk about them over and over again. Bad news and critiques of Russia are to be avoided or minimized most of the time, but sometimes I'll mention setbacks but also discredit the sources or use the lowest possible loss estimates. This creates an illusion of impartiality while still not leaving too bad a taste for my sensitive audience. For variety, sometimes I will feature special guests who basically do the same thing I am doing and we can validate each other, giving our community a sense of breadth and diversity. I approach this with a genuine enthusiasm and passion because I genuinely appreciate the revenue this channel is generating for myself and family and I'm here every day to give it my all. Cheers.
Deep State needs to destroy your following and reputation – the truth must not be allowed to get to the people, so they set up BS channels pretending to be you.
They are just sad motherf/ckers.
And regards to the objects being shot down in & around the US it's probably more figments of the imagination as to make the United States look like their really on their toes after dragging their feet on the first balloon.
This game of chasing after UFOs has indeed acquired an eccentric cartoonish character. Evokes images of Dastardly and Muttley in their flying machines
A remark on the value of high ground from a military historian. In modern war one of the key advantages the high ground offers is actually not of visual, but of actual cover from direct dire. Who controls the high ground can place stuff (reserves, supplies, artillery, HQs etc) on the reverse slope of the hill and the decensive positions just below the ridge, also on the opposite side if the hill. Then the enemy who wishes to advance is unable to fire directly into those positions from anywhere except on top of the ridge, where, as you can imagine, the attacker is extremely exposed and isolated from friendly fire support. That makes hills excellent defensive positions. The lower topography, however, offers no such cover and the enemy is able to fire at an angle into trenches, dugouts etc and also the near rear of the front is extremely vulnerable to fire from the hill. Imagine a tank, for example, appearing from the back slope for merely a few seconds, taking a shot and then disappearing back behind the hilltop only to reappear a few minutes later at a different location. The defensive advantage high groind gives is enormous and depressions are killing groinds where its extremely tough if not impossible to find cover.
While I have no doubt there were balloons which may have very well been surveillance ones, the whole farce was created by media. It was and continues to be a media event. It is another example of "look here, not there", when "there" is where you want to look.
Why do you wear the same green shirt?? Love your channel. Such historical knowledge you have.
Excellent as always!
THEY ARE SENDING THEIR OWN GEAR IN ORDER TO USE THEM LATER ON THEMSELVES, BY PULLING IN ALL THE NATO TROOPS SURROUNDING ALL OF UKRAINE ALMOST, YES THE US AND UK ARE TRYING TO START A WW3, AND THE PLAN IS PROBABLY TO INVADE UKRAINE AND TRY TO DO A KNOCK OUT BLOW TO RUSSIAN FORCES, AND IOT MAY INVOLVE THE NEW GRAVITY BOMB THEY SHOWED THE WORLD FOR A WHILE THERE. AGAIN, THE TANKS ARE NOT MAINLY FOR THE uKRO TROOPS, IT'S FOR THE NATO TROOPS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE. IT WILL HAPPEN DURING THEIR NEXT PHASE. OR THE EXAKT SAME BOMB THAT WERE USED IN BEIRUT SOME YEARS AGO, YES THEY LIED TO YOU, IT WASN'T A FIREWORK ROCKET OR SOME NITRATES GOING OFF, THAT WAS THE COVER STORY, THE TRUE STORY IS: IT WAS A MESSAGE TO RUSSIA AND IRAN AND CHINE WHAT IS AWAITING THEM PROBABLY, AS THERE WASN'T ANY RADIATION TO SPEAK OFF IN BEIRUT, THAT WAS THE SOLE REASON WHY THEY USED IT THERE AND AS A WARNING/MESSAGE WHAT IS BEING PLANNED. THIS IS ME THEORY.
Ukraine needs to speed up the training on the modern tanks
Putin has himself in a bad place as he can’t pull back and lose faith and the Ukrainians will never surrender because of war crimes committed by Russians so with the help of western weapons both countries will be totally decimated
Western tanks will prove like himars far superior to Russian obsolete garbage but will they have enough probably not but they’ll kill plenty more Russians and destroy a huge amount of Russian armour
ive seen these channels, these guys are just capitalising on the popularity of the videos not trying to appropriate the content….. and they dont have your name on the channels, but you get the odd clueless person in the comments praising you though XD
Ive also seen the spambot scambot pretending to be you on your own comments section….. im assuming everyone is intelligent enough to avoid or to know and differentiate the real mercouris etc
Hello Alexander. Is @greatpower your channel as well? Thank you Sir, for your service speaking the truth.
I wish the Ukrainians would concede and agree to peace talks! They are not gonna win. This is terrible for all regular peoples all races
off on a woo woo tangent, anybody know about a pyramid in ukraine…. came across someone recently that said ukraine had a pyramid….. and im obviously linking it to this war fight for ukraine…. not the bosnian pyramid…..
makes sense to me… if the yanks started war in iraq for stuff oil being one of them…. anyway if noone knows then carry on lol i never said anything so crazy and off the wall XD
there cant be many ukrainians left surely! the ones that are fighting are knackered or dead, the ones that dont have sought asylum or also dead….. and or being ratted out by uk government
Russia will kill off a hole generation for some shitty ass land they Dont want.
you are a victim of Shadow Government , that owns YT , you dont scream more war more war , and as such you are under attack . Just like with coronademic
But, why shoudn't the Nations not shoot down satelites that fly over their their territory, those things might be spy satelites as well ??? 🤔 😂😂😂
The Norwegian Intelligence Service (E-service), which is Norway's foreign intelligence service, writes in its recent security assessment that the Russian military has gotten stuck in Ukraine.
The e-service further writes that the war will continue to weaken Russia's military capability through 2023, and points out that poor management, inadequate equipment and heavy losses on the battlefield contribute to weakened morale among the forces and weakened conventional capability.
The e-service writes in the intelligence report that weakened Russian conventional capability increases the importance of nuclear weapons: "With weakened conventional capability, the importance of nuclear weapons for Russia has increased significantly. The Russian strategic and regional deterrent forces have thus become increasingly important for the Russian military power," reads the intelligence report.
Actually it’s a Chinese New Year balloons 🎈 😂😂😂
The Barricade – nice
Alexander is a fraudster so he’s as capitalistic as you can imagine.

NOT A GOOD DAY: "Retired army colonel-general Leonid Ivashov last year called for Vladimir Putin to resign, saying he had been pursuing a 'criminal' policy in 'provoking' an 'artificial' conflict in Ukraine. He has now said Putin is leading Russia to defeat and humiliation in the war…….Mark Milley says Russia has LOST the war: Chairman of US Joint Chiefs claims Putin has been defeated 'strategically, operationally and tactically' and is now a 'global pariah' .
Bakhmut….it might cause Mercouris to have a major stroke.
You know who also shaked like Mercouris?
Life in Fascist Russia. And before you sad sheep think this is "propaganda" because it's a BBC report, it happens to be factual:
University student Olesya Krivtsova has been missing a lot of classes. That's because 20-year-old Olesya is under house arrest. She has an electronic tag on her leg. Police can monitor her every move. Her alleged crime? Olesya was arrested for anti-war posts on social media. One of them concerned last October's explosion on the bridge linking Russia to annexed Crimea. "I posted an Instagram story about the bridge," Olesya tells the BBC, "reflecting on how Ukrainians were happy with what had happened." She had also shared a friend's post about the war.
Then the drama began. "I was talking on the phone to my mother," Olesya recalls, "when I heard the front door opening. Lots of police came in. They took away my phone and shouted at me to lie on the floor." Olesya was charged with justifying terrorism and discrediting the Russian armed forces. She faces up to 10 years in prison. Olesya is only allowed to leave home to attend court
"I never imagined anyone could get such a long prison sentence for posting something on the internet," Olesya says. "I'd seen reports of crazy verdicts in Russia, but I hadn't paid much attention and continued to speak out." A student of the Northern Federal University in Arkhangelsk, Olesya has now been added to Russia's official list of terrorists and extremists. "When I realised I'd been put on the same list as school shooters and the Islamic State group I thought it was crazy," recalls Olesya. Under the rules of her house arrest she's banned from talking on the phone and going online. Olesya has a striking image tattooed on her right leg – Russian President Vladimir Putin depicted as a spider, with an Orwellian inscription: "Big Brother is watching you." It appears that in Olesya's case, it wasn't Big Brother watching her, but her fellow students. "A friend showed me a post about me in a chat," Olesya says, "about how I was against the 'special military operation'. Most of the people in this chat were history students. They were discussing whether to denounce me to the authorities." The BBC has seen extracts from the group chat. In one comment, Olesya is accused of writing "provocative posts of a defeatist and extremist character. This is out of place for war-time. It must be nipped in the bud". "First let's try to discredit her. If she doesn't get it, let the security services deal with it." "Denunciation is the duty of a patriot," someone else writes.
Later, when the list of prosecution witnesses was read out in court, Olesya recognised the names from the student chat.
It's one year since the Kremlin launched its "special military operation" in Ukraine – the term it uses for Russia's full-scale invasion of its neighbour. Within weeks of the assault, President Putin was calling on the Russian public to separate "true patriots from scum and traitors". Since then, across Russia there have been reports of Soviet-style denunciations against critics of the war. They include students informing on teachers and workers denouncing colleagues.
The war is so even in terms of combatants and military equipment, weapons etc it's going to take years to resolve, looking at the territory that's occupied, Ukraine definitely pushed Russia right back to what the Donetsk and Lugansk territories were before the invasion, well done Ukraine!🇺🇦
Ukraine has had all the major victories, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kherson and Izium, glory to the heroes!
Say goodbye to Russian federation and say hello to the USSR as gosplan returns
The fools are firmly in control of the White House and its primary fool occupant.
This is what happens when you elect a piece of rapidly deteriorating Swiss cheese as your Commander in Chief and surround him by a bunch reckless, homocidal, extremely corrupt fools.
