  1. also Israel benefited a lot also in trade business deals with the Chinese and its the Chinese military they are dealing with, the largest megacorporaton in China who have their own companies producing everything from weapons to washing machines. arms deals make money between nations but it also branches out to other stuff, its a gateway. to other investments

  2. it should not be called checkmate, instead it should be called chuckout.
    28
  3. Hamas will be renamed HUMMUS soon
    25
  4. Russia is currently begging the countries who it sold and gave weapons to to either give back its weapons or sell them backto Russia, yep Russian desperation. Another sign Russia is losing this war.
    21
  5. its not only stuck in the 80s, its stuck in shit. using poor Soviet style centralized command and control leadership. Russian army has never fought in a real major war since 1945. Chechnya and Georgia are not real wars, chechnya was a guerilla war. Georgia, was a minor war. Russia's weaknesses got papered over in those wars, so the Russian military heads had to reason to change their military doctrines, now vs. NATO 21st century tech and doctrine, Russian doctrine and tanks fail. couple that with corruption with hollowed out the Russian army in many ways.

  6. Ukraine is simply the best investment USA ever did in its fight vs. Russia, imagine, we give Ukraine lots of money and weapons and Ukraine manages to downgrade Russian power massively without boots on the ground hahaahahah, this is simply amusing with Russian military looking totally incompetent like a homer simpson army hahahaha,
    18
  7. I think the poles might fight to the death, they probably know what happened in history so they will not surrender. they'll probably get captured weapons and use them vs. the Germans and soviets.

  8. Putin's days are not only numbered but so is Russia's , Putin's actions will have great effects on the Russian federation, I forsee after the war is over , post Putin Russia has lost the war, Political economic and social chaos in Russia. Something similiar to 1917 all over again. which will last for a few years. I dont think it will be a civil war, but it will be the breakdown of law and order, in Russia, collapse of the Russian economy, many PMCs and militias popping up all over the place and being the law and order of the area, power plants break down, many areas of Russia without power and internet, criminals , anyone with the gun and can organize become the new rule of law. Millions of Russian refugees will flee to their neighbours many will die when winter sets in and they get stuck at the borders in the dead of winter out int he open. with inadequate winter clothing and heating. Millions of Russians will die from this time of chaos which will last a few years, not only due to murder but also to the breakdwon of transport infrastructure, and the Russian ruble becoming worthless, Russian economy effecitvely becomes a barter economy where USD EUro UK pounds, Chinse Yuan and crypto are accepted and Russian ruble is toilet paper which makes food expensive and valuable , also millions of pensioners will lose their pensions and have to cope with hunger and bad winters. Im not surprised if UN Central Asians, Chinese and NATO troops are forced to deploy to Russia to maintain peace and order . and to stop the massive flow of refugees to their countries.
    17
  9. in short Russia is running out of missles that it has use its strategic IRBMs and ICBMs to hit Ukriane, its that bad, and the Russians are buying North korean missles ahhahahah. its that bad.
    16
  10. the Ukraine war is not only more embrassing than the Winter war but will have much more far reaching implications. you would have thunk Russia learned the lessons of hte winter war with their decades of studying the war but nope, its even doing worse with its current strategies and tactics.
    16
  11. I think the Russian offensive will fail, we are talking about lots of poorly motivated Russian troops attacking at lots of Highliy motivated Ukr troops in trenches and fortified positions. True the Russian have a lot of AFVs and artillery and are smartening up in their command. Leadership still is abysmal. The Russians are probably trying to untangle their logistic problems. Putin last throw of the dice will fail and Putin I think might use a lot of chemical weapons to keep his army from being destroyed by the Ukrainians. war ends both sides declare victory, Russia annexes eastern donbass Ukraine joins the EU. Later Ukr economy booms due to massive investments and aid from the west, Russian economy mired in depression and Putin is dead before the year ends. Political chaos in Russia. Chinese take oever the Russian economy
    16
  12. a leaked US state department article mentions possible 700K Russian casualties already and the Russians are low on convicts so much they are closing prisons, and the Russians are relying on thousands of foreign volunteers from poor third world nations like India, Nepal, countries of Africa , Latin America Middle East etc. Ive heard Storm Z cannon fodder meat units are made up of a mix of foreign volunteers , convicts and the unlucky Russian regular army personel.
    16
  13. well this video assumes the Chinese navy is competent and has formidable ships, however from what I hear, the Chinese navy and air force while better disciplined and less corrupt than their Russian counterparts they suffer from: 1. lack of combat experience . 2. Centralized Soviet style military doctrine. 3. Chinese ships copied Russian and Soviet designs however have been made on the cheap and made fast which have compromised damage control systems. Hey does it seem familiar to the current Russian navy or ships like the Moskva. 4. Chinese air force and navy are trained by the Russians, need I say more. 5. Also Chinese hadnt had a major war since the one month short Sino Vietnam war of 1979 which the Chinese armed forces performed badly. The Chinese never had a succesfful naval campaign in the last several hundred years. I think while the Chinese navy heavilly outnumbers the Japanese, the Japanese will much punch above its weight , and not only hold back the Chinese navy and air forces but also savage it, and when the US pac fleet comes in...its GOOD NIGHT IRENE for the Chinese navy and air force.
    15
  14. yah 3 years and the RUssians still fighting in Ukraine boasting they would defeat Ukraine in 3 days hahahah. and all these Russian bots are trying to reason out that they are winning since they are taking territory , yah very slowly and at 1500 casualties a day. yah like Kursk, 3 months already and the Russians have not kicked out the Ukrainians. very embarassing Russia.
    15
  15. and also not only does ukraine heavilly outnumber the Russians but also add in the force mulitipliers that Ukraine has highly motivated high morale, troops, know their home terrritory, better tactics, armed with the latest ATGMs from NATO, bit better managed logistics, good coordination better military leaders, superior intel and you compare that to the Russians who have: low morale low motivation, poorly trained, poor coordination , no unified military coommand, poor morale , mismanaged bad logistics, poor military leaders, more fragile political situation the only things superior for the Russians are artillery, navy and air power.
    14
  16. I find it quite amusing despite the supposed strength of the Russian air force and air defenses, the Ukrainains manage to hit Russian with drones. and Russians cant even achieve air superiority in Ukraine, that smells heavilly of corruption and incompetence in the Russian air force command.
    14
  17. and the quality of the Russian front line ground trooops suck bad, their elite forces are OK but badly used, Russian conscripts are even worse quality . Only good as bullet absorbers. Despite denails, I think Putin sent it lots of conscripts and passed them off as frontline troops.
    12
  18. USA UK, Canada and others will probably military intervene in Guyana if venezuela invades, Maduro is really stupid to do so.
    12
  19. The Venezuelan army sucks, not motivated, poorly trained. vs. USA and UK, it is kaput. USA again, fixing Latin American problems.
    11
  20. well the whole point of the Ukrainian defense is to inflict maximum casualties on the advancing Russians while trading space for time. and making the Russians pay heavilly for every mile taken. and its doing just that, I think the way the war will be won will be to economically tire Russia out of the war. If Russia cannot economically support the war, then war is over, and Ukraine can go over the counterattack.
    11
  21. its quite amusing US 90s weapons tech has set back the Russians in 2023 , very amusing. Russian miliatry tech is the 80s.
    11
  22. yah like how Russia lost 75 percent of its elite airborne , marines and Spetsnaz troops in the fiirst 6 months of the war. due to stupid Russian command using them as cannon fodder.
    11
  23. Even if Russia walks away from this war with 20 percent of Ukrainian land blustering about victory in the Ukraine war, the war will not be seen as a victory esp. after suffering around 1 million casualites in 3 years tens of thousands of kaput military vehicles. Russian military prestige in the gutter and the fact the Russians had to call in help from the North Koreans to help defeat the Ukrainians will make the Russians feel that they did not win in the war, esp. with the 20 percent of Ukraine that is mostly ruins they have to rebuild. I think Russia will go into some sort of civil war after the war is over even if they quote on quote "win" the war. as the Russian elites blame Putin for leading them to this kind of humiliation. along with a whacked economy and the Europeans still hostile to teh Russians. and many Russian PMCs or private armies that can resist if Putin tries to do a purge to secure his power post war. Putin will blame his subordonates for his mistakes, and his elites have their own PMCs take on Putin.
    10
  24. and for future Russians, Putin will be looked at as a curse to Russia, the worse Russian leader ever, they will wish he was never even born. and his name will be a curse word no monuments built for him no streets named after him. Meanwhile Zelensky will be looked by future historians as the Churchill of the 21st century, one of the most decisive and effective world leaders who not only preserved the sovereignity of his country but also destroyed a world power in a upset victory, monuments streets etc. will be named after Zelensky. In short , Putin will be compared to hitler/saddam hussein, Zelensky will be compared to Churchill/Franklin Roosvelt. Putin's legacy will be all but destroyed, Zelensky will live on for a very long time.

  25. USA moved fast thru iraq and Kuwait during the 91 desert storm and 2003 Iraq campaigns, due to a number of factors namely 1. superior training leadership and coordination. 2. Coaltion tank rushes were well coordinated with coaltion infantry. 3. Coaltion had air superiority, and support aircraft ranged at will over the battlefied. 4. Iraqi air defenses were well suppressed before the coaltion attacked. 5. and the Coalition had a massive technological superioirty over the Iraqis. and I would like to point out that in the 2003 invasion of Iraq , the US lost a few M1A1s and as I could remember a US massed helicopter attack was driven off by Iraqi air defenses. but the USA conquered iraq in a month with minimial losses. and the M1A1s lost were the result of the US tanks outrunning their infantry support and being hit by mobile Iraqi anti tank teams (on motorcycles and civilian vehicles). Looks like the Russians in Feb 2022 tried to emulate the US tank runs in Iraq but failed very badly. A year later I see the Russian army degraded devolving , not even achieving air superiority over Ukraine despite outnumbering the Ukrainian air force by a scale of ten. arguably having technologiacal superiority over the ukrainians. and overall numerical manpower and vehicular superiority. nad having at least 10X the industrial strength vs. ukraine and surprisingly and embarassingly , the Russians lost 50 percent of the territory their conquered from Ukraine from Feb to april 2022.
    10
  26. no mass attacks due to the presence of lots of very effective ATGMs esp. javelins and NLAWS, also very bad Russian logistics. Also good leadership and coordination for the Ukrainians using a decentralized command and control system early in the war. The Russians tried to do mass tank attacks early in the Ukr war but it ended in disasters, the Russians outran their logistics and resulted in Russian tanks running out of fuel whichi resulted in lots of Russian tank abandons. and out of fuel Russian tanks or low fuel tanks turned into sitting ducks for ATGMs.
    10
  27. I think a Chinese invasion of Taiwan will be a disaster. and I dont think China will overrun Taiwan.
    10
  28. The Iraqis also did mass tank attacks on the Iranians early in the Iran Iraq war of the 1980s and these were successful due to Iranians officer corps being purged and them replaced by inexperienced troops, many of them students, despite the Iranians having superior tanks like the chieftain, they got slaughtered by the iraqis equipped with T-62s and 55s, Later these Iraqi mass tank attacks became dangerous since the Iranians got a lot of RPG-7s, Saggers from the Chinese and North Koreans and used them in mobile hunter killer teams on motorcycles. and jeeps.

  29. Please more alternate history stuff.

  30. so far 800K Russian casualties 400K Ukrainian casualties. they can both still go on for a while. however if Putin mobilizes ethnic Russians, he will get a civil war.
    9
  31. I thought the Russian gov said in March 2022 the Ukrainian army is on the verge of collapse, now the Russian gov is saying the Ukrainians have fewer opporunities for an offensive hahahahaha. if Russia has to beg millions of artillery ammo from the North Koreans you know the Russians are losing this war, desperate to the wall. hhahahah. Even if Russia "wins" this war, and when I say "win" this war turns into an armistice where Russia gets to retain captured Ukrainian land, and Putin regime survives. Russia will be a much downgraded power and a economic slave to China. and a military a shaow of its pre war self which it probably wont recover back to pre war levels. Yah Russians you get thank your stupid leader Putin for making Russia the laughingstock of the world.
    9
  32. I think Putin's life will be the subject of several movies and tv shows, just like hitler.
    9
  33. I also find it very amusing that the Russian black sea fleet is turning into a submarine fleet by the Ukrainians who have no navy hahahah. In fact teh recent strike in Sevastopol which sank two Russian ships and sent part of one flying all over the city. was so embarassing that a pissed off Putin actually ordered the Russians commanders be placed in Russian assault units in Avdiivka hahaha. also another Russian oligarch ally of Putin Vladimir Egorov fell to death from his window haha, a few days after the strike, hey maybe he sold the intel of what was in that Russian ship hahaha. very amusing, . HOW EMBARASSING RUSSIA
    9
  34. yah WW3 will be a disaster for Russia China North Korea Iran and anyone else dumb enough to join the Axis. Russian cant even win vs. Ukraine what more vs. NATO.
    9
  35. After this war is over, the Ukrainian war will be much studied for how incompetent the Russian army ran the war to defeat.
    8
  36. the Russian army has been a failure, yah like Russia with a GDP and military firepower 10X that of Ukraine was actually held back by dwarf Ukraine. and given a bloody nose with 85 percent of the standing Russian army trying to defeat Ukraine, and now has to beg the North Koreans to help...Even if Trump brokers a peace, Ukraine comes out of this war proud to have given the Russians a bloody nose and really embarassed the Russian army. as the Russian army is shown to be a pathetic army. the Russian army of 2024 can be compared to the Iraqi saddam army of 1991, its that bad.
    8
  37. I have a prediction, by 2026, Russia will be buying lots of North Korean tanks hahahaha it will be that bad.
    8
  38. well as Ukrainian soldiers commented, the Russian glide bombs are inaccurate however they make it up for blast radius , FAB500 bombs are big so if its a near miss, the shockwave alone is deadly. however from what I hear many miss with a long distance
    8
  39. a operation olympic with 1 million US casualties would have deterred the USA from conducting operation coronet. Olympic would take several more months to finish and the UK ANZAC allied reserves would have been sent to the battle . Im not surprised if the US accepts KMT Chinese troops to fight in Kyushu. Even French Indian & Filipino troops would be sourced. Heck not surprised those units slated for Coronet will be sent it to fight in Kyushu. Operation olympic or the battle of Kyushu would have lasted in 1st or 2nd quarter of 1946 and deemed the most bloodiest battle in USA history. The Japanese army would be wrecked. The USSR on the other hand while successful in conquering Manchuria and the Sakhalin and Kuriles have suffered tremendous casualties and bogged down trying to break into Korea. The Japanese gov seeing while its a defeat as it has lost a tremendous amount of territory sees that the Allies are tired and have suffered tremendous casualties enough to give them pause. The Japanese use this to negotiate thinking they could negotiate a way out keeping the Japanese empire intact. The USA suffering a million casualties in Kyushu decides not to invade the rest of the home islands and settles on blockading japan and now using anti crop chemicals and attacking anyone attempting to fish. sinking fishing boats etc. The Soviets dont have a viable navy in Asia to conduct a invasion of Hokkaido. and Korea is proving difficult to conquer. Meanwhile the Japanese have withdrawn from most of China only occupying the east coast. GB with the help of the USN recapture Hong Kong and Singapore, Malaya , Burma and oust the Japanese from southern China. Japanese surrender unconditionally in August 1947 after mass famines and Soviets conquering Korea and Soviet invading Hokkaido. Japan post war is administered by the USA Kyushu and Honshu, Shikoku , Okinawa, while USSR administers Hokkaido. Honshu and Shikoku are given to local Japanese administration in 1949 US admin of Okinawa , Iwo Jima and Kyushu are not given back until 1992. The Soviets never give back Hokkaido and turn Hokkaido into a Soviet oblast , all Japanese in Hokkaido are forcibly deported to Japan. and Hokkaido is resettled with Soviet citizens. Also large Soviet forces are stationed in Hokkaido. Japan SDF is stronger and bigger during the cold war and better armed. larger number of US troops are stationed in Japan. to confront a possible Soviet invasion, there is national conscription of all Japanese males age 18 and above for compulsory military service similiar to West Germany.
    8
  40. Im not surprised after this war is over , for the next few decades Russia will still be using the same weapons it used int he Ukraine war. the Russian economy will simply be too bankrupt and dysfunctional and the Russian gov focused on economic survival to focus on Russan weapons production, heck not surpirsed if a post war post putin Russian army starts buying weapons from China hahahah or North Korea LOL
    7
  41. my view: operation olympic is a shit show USA captures teh southern part of the island but loses a substantial amount of men , equipment and ships in the process. The Americans are surprised by the amount of resistance they got from the Japanese plus the thousands of planes the Japanese threw at the Americans. as the Americans thought the Japanese air forces have been rendered neutered. Operation coronet does not happen, instead Japan is blockaded subjected to daily bombings and pressured to surrender. its nayv is sunk and fishing fleets attacked, also fire bombings of rice fields and forests. farms in an effort to starve Japan to submission. The Japanese gov probably surrenders in 1947 or 1948 after extensive famines ravage Japan. The Soviets then invade Manchuria, Kuriles Sakhalins declaring war on Japan. as the Japanese are about to accept USA unconditional peace terms. USA warns USA not to invade Hokkaido. Faced with this Japan surrenders. HIstory is preety much the same as what happened in OTL 1945. However the difference is that USA does not give back Okinawa and southern Kyushu back to Japan until 1972 and Southern Kyushu has extensive AMerican military bases more than OTL Also USA is more vengeful here in this timeline and more Japanese military and civilian leaders are tried and hanged.
    7
  42. I think with a new trump presidency peace will come to Ukraine in mid to late 2025 with Russia annexing 20 percent of Ukraine, Ukraine not joining the EU and NATO. lifting of all sanctions on Russia, unfreezing of all its assets. In return Ukraine gets hundreds of billions of USD in rebuild aid, Ukraine military allowed to rebuild. DMZ across the Russia Ukraine contact line manned by UN and NATO troops in what is the largest UN troop deployment in history. Long term will be better for Ukraine than Russia. Even if Zelensky steps down or loses the elections, any Ukrainian gov in power will be hostile to Russia. while Ukraine wont be going to NATO or EU anytime soon, there will be defense pacts between Ukraine and the major powers of Europe namely UK< France , Germany , Poland, maybe even Sweden and Finland. and the Russian army has proven itself to be a peacock incompetent army who got humiliated by a Ukraine with 10X less the economy and military than Russia. I dont think Putin will be attacking any country in the next decade. or more.
    7
  43. and when Biden wins in 2024, he will massively increase aid to Ukraine in 2025. in fact Putin will desperately start negotiating for a ceasefire armistice in 2025. since the Russians are set to run out of their war chest war fund in 2025 and start having tank shortages in 2026. I can see war ending sometime in late 2025 with the Russians getting rid of Putin and withdrawing completely from Ukraine in exchange for lifting of all sanctions, and normalized relations with teh west , they will blame Putin (who is probably already dead) and his close buddies(who have probably all fallen from a window maybe even including Patrushev and medvedev or even Shoigu). for everything and the withdrawal with be messy and chaotic essentially the Russian army is abandoned in Ukraine by their officers and the Russian soldiers are forced to go back to Russia on their own. Russia will probalby abandon most their hardware in Ukraine. turning Urkaine into a massive Russian junkyard of Russian weapons. due to political chaos in the kremlin leading to economic chaos as the economy collapse and the Russian ruble becomes worthless. thenyou will see collapse of law and order in Russia made worse by tens of thousands of returning psychotic angry unpaid Russian soldiers from Ukraine, not surprised if they do rape looting and rapine on Russian cities towns and villages. Russia will be in chaos for a few years before things settle down.
    7
  44. Russian failures are all across the board here. Putin only wants good news, you give him bad news realistic assessments he will fire you. so his own people gave him the wrong assesments ti keep their jobs. bad corruption for several decades hollowed out the Russian army. Poor centralized doctrine not much different from the Soviets times, poor morale, unmotivated. corrupt poor Russian army leadership across the board. poor pay of Russian soldiers poor equipment , poor logistics. Yep the Russian army really blundered into this one, very simliar to the winter war of 1940. and the Russian army currently is a huge elephnat with arthritis and can only do limited offensives and cannot win the war. so is scaling down its objectives to like only the Donbass, LOL. in fact, I htink the Ukrainians are in a bit better positions the Russians have run out of reserves, they cant call up general mobilization since PUtin might get kicked out and you are only throwing in even more poor quality soldiers into the meatgrinder. The Ukr army stil has tens of thousands of reserves being trained and the Ukr army will soon go into counter offensive, the Russian army is a good target to be hit by a major knockout blow offensive and can collapse a major portion of their army similiar to what happened to the German army in Bagration 44. Im thinking this will happen in the next month or two. However I do think Putin with his army collapsing will probably use massive amounts of chemical weapons to stop the offensive then on to peace talks. and in the peace talks for the Russians the war is lost but Putin still waves around his nukes and chems to try to get what he wants. but his army is gone. Probably suffered a 25 percent loss. I think the peace will end up with the Russians keeping part of the Donbass. a withdrawing from the rest of Ukraine. many of teh sanctions will end. but some will remain. Also Ukraine will not recognize Donbass and Crimea both of which will be annexed by Russia. Tensions still bad between Russia and Ukraine, and NATO gives assurances, that they will intervene if Ukraine gets attacked again. putin still keeps power and tightens up his control over Russia, millions of Russians fleet from the country and refugee to Europe and North America, Austrralia. Many Russian soldiers dont go back to Russia and refugee in Europe.
    7
  45.  @MrMatmulan  hhahahah Ukraine is done, spoke another Putin fan boy as they did last year, more like Russia is done I predict after biden wins 2024, Ukraine war will end in 2025 to 2026 with Russians kicking out Putin and withdrawing totally from Ukraine in exchange for lifting of all sanctions and normalizing relations with the west. Russia cannot stand another 4 years of war with increase USA support.
    7
  46. Very true, if Russia did not have nukes it would have been 1991 desert storm all over again. with the Russian army being the Iraqi saddam army. the Russian army is that bad. and after this war whether they quote on quote "win" or not, the Russian army will not be in a state to invade another country again, I predict the Russian army will be busy trying to secure Russia after teh war, as I predict a lot of destabilization as the Russians blame Putin for their problems. or each other.
    7
  47. after this war is over and Russia loses, Russian historians will say that this war was unnecessary and whoever supported this war should be sent to the mental hospital. It will billed the unnecessary war that destroyed Russian prestige. The Russian army whats left of it will not recover to pre war levels for the next few decades. if ever. Future Russian historians will bill Putin as the most stupid Russian leader ever who had so much potential but threw everything he did good, threw away his legacy for an obsession with recreating the USSR or the Russian empire. No statue or monument will be built for Putin , no street named after Putin, his mistake in Ukraine will much overshadow everything good that he did. Future historians will point out that Putin's rule of a oil rich Russia will abundant natural resources could made Russia an economic power(its not an economic power with a GDP the size of Italy and after the war is over a GDP the size of the Philippines). Instead Putin tried to make Russia into a military power, trying to recreate the Russian empire of the Czars but instead ended up embarassing Russia, and resulting in a decades long economic depression and hardship for Russia.
    6
  48. I highly doubt it if the Japanese will intervene in any war in Taiwan or outside Japanese waters vs. China due to guilt from the second Sino Japanese war 1937 to 1945. However the Japanese navy will do self defense if the Chinese attack into Japanese waters. and if that happens , the Japanese navy will be backed up by the USN plus navies from Australia, NZ, UK, China will be really stupid to start a war here or in Taiwan.
    6
  49. if NATO intervened in the Ukraine war NATO airpower would overwhelm the Russian air force hard, and NATO airpower combined with Ukraine ground forces would slaughter the Russians like it was Desert storm 2.0 heck even Russian artillery is shit, like the recent probe by Russian forces at Kherson, Russians fired 1000 arty shells at the Ukrainians which killed only 2 people, since many missed or were duds. The Ukrainians repelled the Russian probe with many Russian losses. and even now according to ISW, Russian arty superiority is only 2 or 3 to 1 on average compared to before with 6 or more to 1. the Russians are running out of ammo,so much they have to source from the North Koreans and even have to bring out antiquated T-55 tanks from storage . and NATO is minimally supporting Ukraine and the Ukrainians have given a bloody nose to the Russians and are holding them back having inflicted 800K casualties in nearly 3 years of war withstanding the full force of the Russian military. which 85 percent of its current standing army is deployed vs. Ukraine , and half of those casualites in 2024 alone. its that bad. the Russian army is totally mismanaged throughout this war.
    6
  50. in th event of war , USA UK France , Canada, New Zealand, would side with Australia. massive sanctions on Indonesia, probable miiltary intervention and assistance. from UK, NZ and Canada to protect a ANZAC nation. I dont think anyone would side with Indonesia except words of support in the UN. In the even of war, Indonesian economy would crash. possibly collapse from the embargoes I dont think the Aussies would actually invade Indo territory since there is no point in taking land from them but repel an invasion. I can see in the event of a Indo economic collapse there will probably be a coup to remove the current regime and its back to business again.
    6
  51. wait...the Russian air force supposedly the 2nd strongest air force in the world...SUPPOSEDLY...Cant achieve superiority against the much smaller Ukrainian air force hahahahah HOW EMBARASSING RUSSIA
    6
  52. My view battle for Gaza ends in mid 2024. with 250K Palestenian casualties, 25K IDF casualties.
    6
  53. well 2023 is the bloodiest year of the war esp. for the Russians, last year same time Dec 29 2022, the Russians suffered 100K casualties. Now the Russians have suffered a total of 360K casualties half of those deaths. in short Russians suffered more than double the casualties of 2022 in 2023. that is very bad. Not surprirsed the Russians have been using human wave meat attacks on fortified Ukrainian positions and getting mowed down. and Im not surprsied the Russians will be continuing this moronic strategy. where pre war the Russian army trained on massive wide sweeping mechanized movement and battles of mobility complete with breakthrus , exploitation and encirclements , now the pathetic Russian army of Dec 29 2023 likes to brag about taking towns and villages in the 20 percent of Ukraine they occupy while they suffer tens of thousands of casualties for every town or village they capture in stupid WW1 style attacks. The Russian army has actually devovled from a modern army to a 1930s Soviet army. commanded by morons trying to emulate stupid failed Soviet generals like Buddyonny and Pavlov. Zhukov and Rokossovky and Konev would be so ashsmed of the Russian army of 2023. Oh and the the frontlines in Ukraine have not changed much since Dec 2022.And the Russian army like to brag its the greatest army in the world and will conquer all of Europe hahahah. Very amusing.

  55. well from what I read, the USA and NATO leadership threatened Russia that if nukes were used in Ukraine then NATO would actually sink the entire Russian black sea fleet for starters and use air power to support Ukrainian troops. and possible NATO troops entering Ukraine and that is just for starters. in addition the following will happne: 1. TOTAL economic sanctions on Russia, if you thought the sanctions right now is bad, they can get much worse. and other countries will be pressured to participate or get the same sanctions 2. Seizure of Russian assets not only by NATO and EU nations and their allies but other countries will be pressured to do the same. Those alone will cause an economic collapse in Russia. and not only that plus massively increased military aid to Ukraine. basically the use of nukes by Russia will make Russia lose the war in Ukraine, Russian military simply cannot stand vs. NATO and even if NATO brings its air power to aid the Ukrainains , it will be a disaster for the Russian military they will lose the war in Ukraine and in the process cause an economic collapse in Russia.
    5
  56. Fro Germany , while they would view WW2 as a success up front , I think behind the scenes overall it would have been a failure for them. the loss of millions of lives and massive amounts of resources and a massive hit on their economy resulted in them gaining Western and Eastern Europe, a large part of North africa, and part of the USSR they did not really gain anything of value. In fact probably after negotiations the Germans would only control the baltic states and half of Ukraine. Their goal of conquering the USSR is a massive failure. Post war, hitler would still remain in power maybe might die in the 50s or 60s. But I dont think Germany would be ready for another push vs. the British and USSR any time soon. too exhausted to do so. Not surprised Germany goes into economic depression mode after the war, and the nazi party after the death of hitler is deposed. and maybe replaced by a coalition of civlian and military leadership.

  57. war between USA and China will be China possibly North Korea vs. USA/Taiwan/Australia/UK/New Zealand/Canada and possibly Japan and South Korea. the Chinese have the largest navy in the world but the CHinese navy while having electronics and sensors approaching the US Navy but the USA is still superior in all aspects, also Chinese ships have poor damage control and sink easilly when damaged.
    5
  58. meaning the UMPK kits are a sign of desperation by the Russians. Not surprised the components are made in China, the Chinese probably sold them the cheapo electronics at big inflated prices.

  59. they are well trained at ....abandoning their vehicles and running away.

  60. this is a good sign Russia has bad manpower issues, I heard Putin wants 150K NKs to fight the Ukrainians yah when Rusisia has to stoop this low to buy NK arty ammo missles and recruits you know the Russians are in trouble. so far since Jan 1 2024 the Russians sufferd 350K casualties and 10K destroyed tanks , APCs IFVs and conquered around .5 percent of Ukraine. 3 months already and the Russians cant kick the Ukrainains out of Kursk. Russian army prestige is down the toilet. and even though Trump coming in manages to get a peace favourable to Russia, it wont feel like victory, it will feel more like a defeat. with Russian economy seriouslyi damaged its military in the shitter, and embarassed fighting a perceived much weaker enemy the Ukrainians and the UKrainains giving the Russians a bloody nose and holding off the Russians for nearly 3 years in a brutal conventional war not seen since WW2. its that bad and embarassing at it has revealed how weak the Russian military really is with a bad combat doctrine corruption and command and control , if it werent for Trump , Russia would lose this war. haha. After the war there will be recriminations and Putin has to purge people since his hold on power will be tenous. the elites will blame him for all their problems .

  61. well here is my take, the Syrians sent thousands of mostly Allawite Shia Syrian troops to Russia to fight in the Ukraine war starting late 2022. from the most loyal units of the Syrian army, where they were treated as cannon fodder and thousands were kaput, these Syrians masqueraded as Russian army troops. So Assad had to fill up his army so he filled it up with local volunteers and of course with Syrian sunni troops and the SUnnis are the majority muslim sect in Syria but the rulers are Shiites. These Sunni troops consituted 75 percent of the Syrian army and the Syrian army was corrupt as hell, sold weapons and even intel to the rebels. also poorly trained, incompetent low morale and the sunnis hated the Assad regime. and the only ones who were effective vs. the rebels were Iranian IRGC and Hezbollah troops and Russian airpower and the thousands of Russian conscripts and hundreds of Russian Spetsnaz and PMC troops who were at the forefront of the fighting and were the most effective troops of the Assad regime, so when the Russians and Iranians withdrew , in the face of the rebel offensive it was game over, Assad's army fell apart in mass desertions and defections and so did the Assad regime.

  62. you mean the Russians hahaah

  63. In a Japanese non surrender, the Soviet invasion of Manchuria and Kuriles will take a lot longer since the Japanese would fight to the death there and they substantial military forces in those areas, also the Soviets would probably postpone the war with Japan until the Americans are fully in Kyushu and wouuld continue to build up their forces in the far east waiting for the Japanese to withdraw military units to the Japanese home islands, not surprised if the Soviets attack after the US invades Honshu in operation coronet in 1946. in the meantime, the Soviets build up their naval assets in the far east , building more landing craft with a plan to invade Hokkaido.
    4
  64. the war in Ukraine shows how incompetent the Russian military leadership is. If they were on the level of the USA. they would have won in 3 days but nope, 3 years and only holding 20 percent of Ukraine. booo hooo.
    4
  65. The west wants to grind down Russia in Ukraine. the longer the war goes the weaker Russia gets. so 8 months into the war Russia is already doing partial mobilization , something not seen since WW2. Russia cannot keep on mobilizing or its risks damaging its economy and provokes unrest. Also the sanctions can get worse later, and sanctions are just slowly grinding down the Russian economy. Also Russia has suffered more than 100,000 casualties in this war, 3K tanks and 6K APCs, number not seen since WW2. This is not just some insurgency like Chechnya or Afghanistan its a real full on conventional war fought with a bit more firepower than WW2. according to Prigozhin, the Ukraine war , the Russians are burning ammo 2X that of the battle of Stalingrad. and makes Chechnya look like kindergarden a walk in the park. The longer Russia is fighitng the war the worse it will be for Russia after the war. I think the Ukrs have to endure 2 years of war, I dont think Russia can keep up the war for 2 more years, Russian people are not the same Russian people of WW2. who were more hardier, and their morale was a lot higher and they were fighting for national survival , here the Russians view this war as a mistake.
    4
  66. I predict after this war is over Putin gone Russia lost , and the chaos in Russia settles down, Russian federation will more or less be intact, however Moscow and the Russian army will be really weak and the puppets of the real powers the RUssian oligarchs and their PMCs who will never allow someone like Putin to become leader. Russian provinces will have a bit more autonomy not only for self rule but also foreign affairs, and they will have their own PMCs. Russia will become a massive decentralized state with its provinces acting like seperate countries but owing fealty to Moscow. Russia will become a massive narco failed state. where anything can happen and become a great game between USA and China EU Turkey, etc. Time of troubles 2.0 is coming back to Russia , and you can all thank Putin for this.
    4
  67. what does that tells us, SU-35s will figure prominently in hte upcoming Russian civil war I predict whatever is left of Russia will still be using hte SU-35 as it main combat plane well into the 22nd century LOL
    4
  68. however while 2023 was in important year 2024 will be the most important year of them all, the USA presidential elections of 2024 will determine on the final outcome of this war, however whether Russia manages to lose this war or gets out a good deal from this war and the Putin regime surviving its economy will still be in ruins, it will still be under bad sanctions, its military much weakened, its economy dangerously on war footing, no more investments from the west, and a worldwide pariah. Russia will have much great difficulty recovering from the war. Im not surprised if Russia experienced a 21st century version of the time of troubles after Putin dies or his removed from power.
    4
  69. not surpirsed after Russia loses this war , the UN may need to deploy peace keeping troops in Russia hahah Russia will become a massive failed state
    4
  70. what is making the difference is the quality of teh soldiers ont he ground, Ukraine, defending, knows its own area and highly motivated. Russians attacking poorly motivated does not know its area of combat. Ukraine is becoming like Winter war 2.0

  71. the Chinese army is even more suckier than the Russian army. hadnt had a major war since 1979 and during that war, the Chinese retreated from Vietnam and claimed it won hahahah

  74. I highly doubt it that China would conquer Taiwan and more Okinawa. any attacks on Japanese territory wil lincur the Japanese coming into the war. Disaster for China.

  75.  @gobomanaga5615  very real wonder why the Russians begged the North Koreans to intervene. and despite Russia being 10X bigger economy and military firepower, Russia has not much expanded beyond 20 percent of Russia it controls. also wonder why 4 months alrady , Russia cant seem to kick Ukraine out of kursk. hmmm.....
    3
  76. syrians also lost lots of tanks during their civil war, using tank rushes without infantry support vs. Syrian guerillas armed with US and Russian ATGMs, that is why the Russians had to ship them lots of replacement T-72s. and had to intervene.

  80. after this war is over , the Ukrainian economy will boom due to trillions of USD in investments and reconstruction money and Ukraine being fast tracked to EU and NATO membership much admired by the west as the country who defeated Russia , something NATO leaders have been dreaming of. Meanwhile out of the goodness of their hearts Ukraine might need thousands of Russian refugees escaping from a chaotic Russia to be very low paid janitors, construction workers or maybe the ukrainians will just import foreign workers to do the job since Russians will still be hated in Ukraine. However I do predict many Russian refugee prostitutes will again line the streets of Kaiserstrasse Frankfurt, St. Pauli Hamburg and Pigalle Paris, like the 90s never went out of fashion. Heck you will see many Russian women refugees become human trafficking victims and end up as far as papua new guinea to be hookers. Hey just like the 90s.
    3
  81. why not? 1. lots of ATGMs and artillery to kill massed Russian armor. .2 BTGs not enough to provide security for Russian tanks. 3. Russian logistics is so bad, its cant seem to support massed Russian armor attacks. as shown in the Russian offensives in 2022, when the Russians tried, their logistics fell apart, that is why you have a lot of abandoned Russian armor getting towed by Ukr farmer tractors. 4. no air superiority.6. Poor Russian coordination, training , leadership.

  83. USA, while having stayed out of WW2, it suffered economically with lessened trade, probably the weakest military among the great powers with its military probably on level with a pre war 1941 OTL levels in 1950. Japan is viewed as the biggest threat and tensions with Japan are great esp. with the freezing of Japanese assets in the USA. While the US military is starting to exapnd and rearm it still really underestimates the Japanese military esp. after its poor performance in the border battles with the USSR between 1945-1950. However the USN is woefully unprepared vs. the IJN or Japanese navy which is much stronger than it was in 1941.

  84. In the negotiations , PUtin will threaten to use more chems and maybe even nukes to stop more Ukrainian offensives. They'll claim they used chems since Ukrainians have just invaded Russian territory. or some BS like that.k Putin by this time knows his army is kaput. so wants a face saving reason for peace. with great bitterness. the Ukrs agree to part with the eastern part of the donbass but again Ukraine does not recognize this and Crimea's annexation. Ukraine will still not be part of the EU and NATO however very close cooperation with them. Massive marshal plan trillion dollars at least to repair Ukraine. For Russia, lifting of many sanctions, some still in place due to Russia's occupation of Crimea and East DOnbass. While its back to business as usual, Russia's economy has been badly hurt by the war and sanctions. war scared off the investors. Putin tightens his hold on Russia, scaring millions to leave the country. Europeans really offended by the large scale use of chems by the Russians which not only kills Ukr soldiers but also lots of civilians. boycotts of Russian products worldwide esp. in the 1st world continues. Economic chaos in Russia. China steps in besides lending money to Russia to keep the the Russian economy alive, China starts also getting Russian resources are bargain prices. China also buys a lot of Russian weapon systems , submarines missles etc. However Putin's leadership stops the Chinese from buying off Russian companies. Putin tries to reform the Russian army downsizes it massively tries to make it more professional but this is slow going since Russia has other more pressing matters to attend to. The Russian army has stopped becoming a strong monolithic army to a territorial defense force. Putin probably dies in the next five to ten years. Reputation broken, legacy kaput , Russia is in sort of political chaos first free elections in Russia. Next Russian leadership is more acceptable to the west. However Russian economy while stabilized is still in bad shape, just like the 90s. and with Putin gone. China steps in more, buys up more Russian corporations, extends her influence into Central Asia Caucasus for their very important resources. The war in Ukraine has really been beneficial to China having gotten CHina access to cheap resources , upgraded its weapons tech, not surpirsed CHina hires out Russian scientists to upgrade its weapons systems for a future showdown with the USA. Russia has effectively become a economic vassal to China. Belarus , LUkashenko gone, democratic Belarus gov. which similiar to Ukraine goes heavilly to the west, lots of USA , 1st world investments that fled Russia go into Ukraine and Belarus. Im not surprised after Putin is gone, wih the price of massive economic aid and lifting of the rest of the sanctions, , Russia can agree to have Ukraine and Belarus join the EU but not NATO, probably even Moldova. Giving back Crimea and Donbass are very dicey political topics the Russians will not give those up. Due to the war Russia has lost prestige, and has become a scorned laughingstock. Its oligrachs have also lost a lot since the west sequestered confiscated a lot of their assets due to the massive use of Chemical weapons by the Russians.

  87. In the Korean war, the North Korean army performed much better than the Russian army in the Ukraine war, the NKs conquered 90 percent of the country before being pushed all the way back to the Chinese border , the Russians meanwhile only captured 40 percent of Ukraine from Feb to mid 2022 while getting pushed back to 15 percent of UKraine in late 2022. Embarassing for Russia having a supposedly much weaker Ukrainian military reconquer 50 percent of its lost territories in late 2022, I esp. found it hilarious 3 whole Russian XXs collapsed in Eastern Ukraine and the Russians soldiers ran back to Russia using stolen Ukrainian cars and bicycles hahaha and left 450 tanks abandoned many intact hahahah and Izyum and Khkerson has still not been recaptured by the Russians ....embarassing for a supposed superpower called Russia to not only beg the NKs for help but also say that they are actually fighting NATO soldiers not Ukrainians . the cope is that bad in Russia hahahaah

  88. these days with the state of the Russian army, even Poland can defeat the Russian army (without nukes and chems of course).
    2
  89.  SaintFluffySnow  really I know it full well, and so far Russia has the manpower but the will to fight sucks bad. Ukrainians still havfe a strong will to fight. Russia will lose this war of attrition. its not even the population its the economy

  90. After this war is over, Russians cannot anymore use the Great patriotic war 1941 to 1945 to justify everything they do. cant use it as a crutch anymore all you Russians can thank Putin for this.
    2
  91. when the Russians start using chemical weapons en masse that will produce such an outrage the west will provide not only tanks, but ATACMs, even jets. and total sanctions on Russia, and any other nation supporting it. if it graduates to nuclear, possible war with NATO.
    2
  92. If Russia invaded Ukraine , Russia would lay Warsaw under siege but that is about as far as Russia goes before bogging down, and NATO will respond massively. I think NATO would have rolled Russia back by now and the war will end.
    2
  93. The Polish army can capture Moscow the way the Russian army is performing these days.
    2
  94. its amazing that the Ukrs were able to punch thru Russian defenses at Robotyne without air support, the Southern Front is a disaster for the Russians, who are suffering from supply and manpower shortages esp. in artillery and artillery ammo, its so bad that the Ukrs actually have artillery superiority over the Russians in the Southern Front. since the Ukrs are very effectively targetting Russian logistics and artillery with HMARS, JDAMs and cluster munitions which have destroyed a lot of Russian artillery. Russians are desperately shipping more men and artillery to Robotyne try to stop the Ukrs but these are getting interdicted by the Ukr HAMRS and JDAMs. the other fronts have seen Russian diversionary attacks esp. at Kupiansk but all failures. in fact the Bakhmut front is shaping to be a disaster for the Russians as the Ukrs have retaken all the high ground and are encircling the Russian defenders there, supposedly Putin has ordered the Russian defenders at Bakhmut to fight to the death hahahha. I can see the Ukrs going as far as capturing Tokmak and even Bakhmut by Oct 2023. and while the Ukr offensive would be seen as a failure its actually a success, as they would have captured Tokmak at important transportation hub in the area but also Bakhmut for politicla reasons, the Ukr recapture of Bakhmut woulud alone be a political disaster for Putin. Also I think an even more significant blow to Putin would be the loss of massive amoutns of Russian casualties, vehicles and resources. Im not surprised Putin would be forced to do another mobilization heck he may even declare the special military operation a real war. I expect a Russian winter offensive to try to recapture Tokmak. Ukraine is winning by further weakening Putin's political standing. Heck you will probably see another coup vs. Putin after the Ukr recapture of Bakhmut.

  95. from what I heard Ukrs drones are sent in swarms, and vs. tanks they hit them with several drones, from the top, tank is toast.

    2
  97.  @puzzled012  sorry the Russian military in 2022 is probably a lot more inefficent than the USSR of 1945, heck probalby even moire inefficient than the USSR of 1940. its that bad
    2
  98. There will be another war between China and the USA in the next 20 years. or even longer. In the decades post Ukr war. there will be two strong power blocs forming to oppose the USA and EU blocs, teh Chinese and Muslim blocs. The Chinese bloc will be made up of Mongolia, new countries in former Russian fed territories in Central Asia, Siberia and Far east , as well as established countires in Central Asia. and the Muslim bloc made up of Muslim countries all over the world including Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, most of the middle east, the new countries of the former Russian fed Caucasus Iran and Central Asia. There will be a reconcillation between Iran and Saudi Arabia. These two will ally and Challenge the USA and European hegemony by the 2050s. The future war between these power blocs will be the worst the world has ever seen. world war 3 with the war reaching into outer space. Probably happen in the 2070s.
    2
  99. what will end, when one side gives in, Im thinking economic collapse or Putin dies or unrest in Russia. Or maybe the Russians use nukes. What Im sure of, the Russians cant conquer the whole of Ukraine anymore and they have problems keeping what they already have.
    2
  100. yah urban warfare is a battle of firepower and tactics. slow steady methodical with lots of firepower is the way to go , rushing in is stupid and suicidal. The IDF has a massive advantage in terms of firepower compared to Hamas.
    2
  101. USSR...while greatly weakened having lost massive amounts of its manpower and resources and a large portion of its important lands in the west. USSR would still be intact and stable. Im not surprised Stalin gets purged himself. and blamed for USSRs horrible performance in WW2. probalby the Soviet military will take over the wheels of the USSR. with the aim of taking back its lands and taking revenge on Germany. the Japanese are still viewed as a threat but a lesser one. due to its poor performance in post war border battles. War production is greatly ramped up with a view on renewing war with Germany in the future. its military is reformed and revamped and reorganized with better training , tactics coordination. All its tank now have radios for better coordination. Soviet industry is also reorganized with its industry mostly in the urals. also Transportation infrastructure is great expnaded and improved, Soviet army becomes more mechanized and motorized with a motorized supply transportation system , probably anotehr war with Germany in 1950. maybe...
    2
  102. After the Russians are much weakened, out of supply from the hit and run attacks of Ukrs toyota trucks. that is when you unleash the Ukrs strategic AFV reserves. as a coup de grace, very similiar to Mongol strategy with horse archers, pepper enemy in hit and run attacks and when properly weakened, unleash the heavy armored cavalry to coup de grace, .So Imagine Ukrainian fleets of Toyota pick up trucks as horse archers, and the tanks as the heavy cavalry.

  110. well NATO can still hold back the Russians without USA help, meaning holding back the millions of Russian refugees fleeing Russia when it goes into a future civil war in the next ten years.

  111. and I dont think there will be WW3, the Russians and Chinese are deathly scared of war with USA and NATO, heck just a few weeks ago USA threatened to send troops to Ukraine if North Korean troops were sent into ukraine Russians backed off hahahaah. If Poland intervened in the Ukraine war, Russia would lose badly. hahaha.k Russian army is that shit.

  112.  @Klliansimabras  remains to be seen what the USA will do and what the Euros will also do. It will be funny Trump abandons the Ukrainains and the UK French etc. step in to fill the breach. and the war continues on. and money the EUros give Ukraine buys USA weapons

  117. While I dont think Japan would have gone for New Zealand since they were really overextended in the Pacific, Japan would try to go for India. It will push into India but I think would get defeated and pushed back, However they would still attempt this. Also I think the Japanese would conquer China or collapse the KMT Chinese as it planned starting 1942. However the Japanese would still not be able to conquer China as the Japanese would just have a much bigger territory to pacify , the Japanese by 1941 had conquered 25 percent of China however only pacificed 10 percent of that territory due to the Japanese not having enough manpower and logistics to do so faced with a hostile population . The Japanese by 1945 would have collapsed the KMT (Chiang kai Shek fleeing to India, or USSR. ) however would be faced with a massive task of pacifying their supposed conquered territories, the Chinese would still continue to fight now , the Chinese would switch to the CCP. I dont think the Japanese would have invaded the USSR, since 1. it was still preoccupied with China and digesting its conquests. 2. The Soviets were still viewed with fear by the japanese military hence its continuing large army deployment in Manchuria . 3. There is nothing for the Soviets to gain by conquering Soviet territory, they will get nothing but forests and bears and more snow with little natural resources. The Soviets at this time have not developed the oil resources of Siberia and for Japan oil and steel are the most important resources to build up its military . Also Im not surprised after armistice with teh Germans , the Soviets start equipping the Chinese commies with more weapons and equipment making it much harder for the Japanese to pacify China. China becomes a sinkhole for japanese manpower and resources.

  124.  @jwdominionpyroraptor4775  well I think it will be tit for tat, USA did not help GB in its time of need, GB will not help the USA in its war with Japan. Also the British are not in any good shape to take on both or anyone for that matter. Best be neutral and support the winner. Im not surprised post war the British support the USA. over the USSR despite the Brits having deployed 1 million men in the USSR to fight the Germans.

    1
  131. also the rough and mountenous terrain of the Caucasus favors the Soviet defenders, the Axis wont even reach the oil fields at Baku. as they did in our timeline.Also extra British troops from Persia would probably be sent to defend the Caucasus, making it even more difficult for the Germans to win there, I think the Germans would still get pushed back from the Caucasus

  132. @MirroredVoid yes that one too, sat drones surveilance. both sides mainly know what the other sides are doing with the Russians having their own recon sattellites, drones and aircraft and the Ukrainians having NATO sats, drones and aircraft. However its funny how the Ukrainians still managed to surprise the Russians , I think also Putin's micromanagement of the war has been disastrous. as well as command and control doctrine which is heavilly centalized and does not really allow deviation and flexibility.

  133. Instead of tanks NATO and esp. the USA should give Ukraine fleets of Toyota Hilux and Tacoma pick up trucks, with weapons mounts, bullet proof bodies and glass windows their speed and mobility can be deadly in the hard ground open plains terrian of Southern Ukraine. hit and run shoot and scoot attacks on roundbound Russian AFV and truck columns. also good surprise night attacks are key. also use swtichblade drone swarms to destroy logistics and Russian artillery parks. from distance . Chadians were able to use these to destroy tank heavy Libyan colums during hte toyota war of the 1980s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsqWmU8oD_M

  134. well PLAN marines are smaller in number than their US counterparts. 36K men and smaller armor compliment, never been in major war combat except for anti Somali pirate duty ten years ago.

  137. WW3 if it happens will be more like WW2. USN mainly fighting the Chinese in the Pacific and the US army fighting the Russian army in Ukraine. (in WW2 USN mainly fought with Japan in the pacific and US army was fighting in Europe vs. the Germans.).

  138. My view, Pacific war , starting in Dec 1950 caused by US freezing of japanese assets in 1950. Japanese plan for conquering the Philippines , Hawaii, panama canal and landings in the US west coast. The Japanese would sweep hard across the pacific, however the going is hard in the Philippines, as the defenders give the Japanese heavy losses while falling. in about several months. Hawaii falls fast. Japanese also capture the Panama Canal. the USN Pacific fleet is virtually destroyed. Japanese make landings in the US west coast. in 1951 and capture parts of it but have a tough time going due to fierce resistance. , lots of atrocities vs. American civlians, while the USA is momentarilly cowed and stunned, there is great outrage and calls for war and revenge vs. the Japanese. While the other great powers would not side with anyone, the USA might probably get Mexico and a bunch of Latin American states on its side vs. Japan. with the USA itself invaded the USA mass mobilizes and swtiches to a war economy. Japanese are pushed out of the US west coast and panama by mid 1951Probalby would take the USA to 1953 to take the fight to the Japanese in the pacific There would be no nukes, and the USA would be fully focused on Japan. with nothing but unconditional surrender in mind despite attempts by the Japanese for a negotiated armistice. while the USA has overwhelming industrial might and a bigger population they are hampered by a poor military position at the start of the war and a much stronger japanese military. the war takes longer than our timeline, maybe takes even 6 years.US is very much straighforward not only evicting japanese military from the Pacific and USA territories but going straight for the jugular and for a possible invasion of the Japanese home islands. USA would probalb win in the end with massive losses and probably the conquest of the japanese home islands and the collapse of the Japanese empire, USSR probably takes advantage by seizing manchuria and Korea.

  140. I predict, I dont think the poles will increase their military in the next decade they might even decrease it, after the war Russia will be in political economic and social chaos, in ten years Russia will lose 50 percent of its territory to secession. Poland will probablyi to recruit more riot police and border guards to keep out Russian refugees.

  148. the Ukr Kharkov offensive in late 2022 was a unmitigated disaster for the Russians, the worst they suffered in the war, the Russians lost several hundred tanks and APC lost , as the Russian front there collapsed, Russian troops ran away abandoned their vehicles and positions even stole bicycles and ran back to Russia, at Izyum alone, the Ukrainians captured 450 tanks and APCs in various states of disrepair since Izyum was a Russian logistics and vehicle repair hub. Also the Russians in their desperation sent in their conscrupts who were barely trained many only trained for a week at most. sent with T-90s and 80s and whatever tank or APC was at hand but they also got creamed and defeated by the Ukrainians resulting in these new recruits panicking abandoning their vehicles and running away. It was that bad. So the Russians just gave several hundred tanks and APCs including a handful of T-90Ms, one of which was last seen being shipped to the USA for study. haha. Many of the abandoned tanks were in good condition, Ukrs just repaired refuelled them and deployed them against their former Russian owners...LOL. it was that embarassing for Russia hahaha and I find it amusing that Russians like to crow about the few Leopard 2s the Ukrs lost hahahaha. while the Russians lost several thousand Russians tanks ranging from vintage museum T-55s to the latest T-90Ms, so far in this war, the Ukrs lost far less. In fact its so bad the biggest tank donor to the Ukrs are the Russians Its that EMBARASSING. Its so bad that before the war , 75 percent of Russian tanks in service were made during the time of the Russian federation. now 1.5 years later, 75 percent of Russian tanks in service were made during the time of the USSR. its so bad not only are the Russians bringing out their T-55s from storage which the last time the Russians used them in large numbers was during hte invasio oif Czechoslovakia in 1968, the SOviet never used them in Afghanistan. heck its even worse the Russians are bringing out their T-10 heavy tank, made before the T-55 hahaah. So what next , will the Russians bring out....IS-3s and T-34s hahahahaah.

  149. if the war went on for one more year like 1919 , The USA would have conquered all of Canada and the British Carrabean. Stalemate in the western front, Probable armistice as Communist revolutions sweep the Austro hungarian empire , Russian empire, Germany and France. Maybe , the whole Western and central europe would turn into Commie states. with the exception of Great Britain., Spain , Portugal , Greece, Ottoman Empire would maintain hold, Italy later becomes a socialist fascist dictatorship under Mussolini. The Soviets would win the Battle of Warsaw in 1920 paving the way for direct intervention in the German and Austro Hungarian revolutions. WW2 might look like USSR and allied German, French , Turkish, European communist states vs. USA, British and Japanese empires fighting over the Middle East and China.

  157. In retrospect the Japanese leadership at the end of this WW2 would have viewed their strategies as a success. and would probably the only power that can threaten its dominance of the Pacific is the USA and the USSR. I think on paper Japan would be seen as a Asian great power with a super charged military and economy however in reality, Japan would still have a depressed war time economy, sinking a lot of money and resources in pacifying its conquered territories as well as building up its military to face the USA and USSR. In short Japanese economy woulid be shaky and unstable at best. Great Britain is not seen as a threat but a vanquished foe. Germany would still be seen as a ally but a distant one. Japan would not have an oil problem controlling the Malaya, Dutch east Indies and Burmese oil fields but it would have an industrial one, cranking out more weaopns and building factories cost a lot of money as well as extracting more resources to build more weapons which is massively impacting the Japanese economy which has never switched to a civlian economy but continue on a war economy, Also its economy sucks bad sicne there would be no trade with the USA which is its biggest trading partner, and germany and the axis cannot pick up the slack even close with the loss of the USA. the Japanese gov would still be ruled by militarists and expansionists preparing for war with teh USA. Also im not surprised there are border clashes between Japan and the USSR and tensions in the pacific with teh USA between 1945 and 1950. I think the Japanese would still get beaten badly in these border clashes with the USSR. which results in the Japanese focusing on the USA as the easier nut to crack.

  158.  @gabrielteo3636  Im thinking Russia becomes a confederation of states , meaning, Russian states get a lot more leeway in ruling themselves rather be centralized from Moscow. Russia will be like several different countries calling themselves part of Russia but nearly independent I dont think Russians will want and even allow Russia to go back to the USSR days. I think a power struggle will ensue which will look like a civil war then out of the power struggle there will be a new Russia. The new Russia will probably be worse off economically than the Russian fed, have a much weaker military since its monies will be focused on economic rebuilding and survival after the war. The Russian confederation will be influenced by USA/EU, Turkey/Saudi Arabia and China who will influence their own Russian puppet states. Russia will become a great game. between these powers for its resources and possible source of illicit products I think these natons best interest to get a stable Russia but well weakened so it does not become a threat to them in the future.
    1
  159.  @gabrielteo3636  yes in this scenario Putin is gone probably kaput . the guys ruling Russia are not even Putin's inner circle since they will also be purged and former Putin allies will turn on Putin and blame everything on him. Russian politics post war will be chaotic, and so will the economy it will be the 90s again but this time on steroids.

Russian army is that embarassing and bad.

  172. the war in Ukraine is like a mini mi midget (or the midget from Game of thrones)Ukraine that is well armoured and has good melee weapons and skilled too vs. a massive big ogre with a big club. clumsy but hits hard if it hits at all, in a gladiator fight, and already 3 hours they are still fighiting and the Midget is holding off the ogre. the Russian army is that shit.

  173.  Brandon Palmer  yah that is why Putin is saying he does not to committ conscipts since they would really be useless, What kaputed their army is their horrible logistics and its management, and Russian generals in 2022 are General Budyonny level its that bad. The corruption in the Russian is really that bad, so bad in fact, that officers get promoted for ass kissing rather than real ability and achievement, if you achieve too much and show off, you are demoted or kicked out of service. and the Russian officers are gbood at stealing the mlitary blind, like many of the Russian vehicles in long term storage were found not to be working since hte maintenance money was stolen and many vehicles were cannibalized for spare parts.

  178. While the army is much hampered in pacifying China and facing the USSR . The Japanese navy is preparing for war with the USA. as it views the US presence in the Philipipnes and Hawaii to be a dagger pointed at Japan. Also continuing US embargo on Japan and maybe even ramping up the embargo by seizing Japanese assets in the USA and starting US miiltary buildup would lead to war. with Japan. Maybe in the 1950s. Imagine a Japanese navy that has continued to expand up until war with the USA (probably in 1950) vs. a US navy and military that has not really expanded since 1939. So please binkov make a what if pacific war in 1950.

  186. another one, I think the Loss of India due to independence would probably lead to the gradual decolonization of the British empire in the 60s like in OTL becoming a commonwealth, this esp. in the face. of a new power balance post WW3 1950 to 1956. (I posited WW3 in this timeline would be Germany vs. the USSR, Japan vs. the USA with the British neutral. I think Germany vs. USSR round 2, would result in the USSR pushing all the way tot he Pyrenees. conquering all of Western and Eastern Europe with the exception of Spain and Portugal(British troops land there to protect them from the USSR). commie revolutions in France and Italy make conquests easier. Japan is conquered by the USA and later turned into a USA territory like Puerto Rico, I posit the USA lost like 1.5 million dead in the pacific war tht the USA would not give the Japanese independence(the Japaanese probably lost like 15 million dead in the war or roughly ten percent of its population. ) and turn it into an American territory. purge its military and civlian leadership with thousands hanged is post war war crimes trials. USSR would probably conquer manchuria, Korea, and Hokkaido and the Sakhalins. China woud turn commie under the CCP and support commie rebellions in indochina, Burma. New cold war between USA and the USSR. starting 1957. Again no nukes are developed in this timeline's WW3 but a bunch of innovations are used like mass use of jet fighters, long range missles.,.use of computers(USA) for logistics management, mass use of assault rifles(Germany , USSR). Atomic bombs are probably devleoped during the cold war but not used in war. Maybe in WW4 between the USA and USSR.

  187. well the longer the war goes, the more the Russian economy bleeds and with the coming worldwide recession depression will crash oil and gas prices and crumble the Russian economy will impact its war making capabilities, the Russian economy will simply be unable to the fund the war resulting in unrest food shortages etc. that will end the war. that is why I think the war will end by late 2023. Collapsing Russian economy leading to unrest , by that time, the Russians will probably have taken the donbass but bogged down trying to form a bridge to transnistria . The war is an expensive static in eastern and southern ukraine, becoming like the later stages of the iran iraq war. a war of attirtion with tanks and modern aircraft. However the Russian forces in Ukraine are in a poor shape using weapons from the 20th century(not surprised they are fielding T-55s). Putin and his inner circle is purged and a new gov takes over that declares a arministice ceasefire, meanwhile, Ukraine has enjoyed battlefield victories taking advantage of the sorry state of the Russian army and discruption of command and control due to the unrest in Russia. manages to take back huge porition of Ukraine. In the end , there is a negotiated peace for hte Russian army to withdraw completely back to Russia but still keep the Crimea. However the withdrawal is chaotic and the Russians practically abandon their troops in Ukraine who are forced to go back to Russia by themselves with no support. Crimea is later given back to Ukraine a few years later in exchange for the complete lifting of sanctions and economic aid. the burden on the Ruissian economy is simply very catastrophic with very bad sanctons which results in the Europeans mostly stop buying energy sources or even trading with teh RUssians , to a global recession depression which results in the collapse of the oil and gas prices whcih the Russian economy is reliant on along with the expense of running the war in Ukraine. The Russian economy simply has fallen apart resulting in a Russian revolution. and the decade of the 2020s will be historic for Russia as it will see Russia lose from 25 to 50 percent of its current territory to secession as multiple Russian republics declare independence due to political chaos and economic depression. and the Russian army mainly demobilizing as its economy collapses. and collapse in morale due to the defeat in the Ukraine war. Russia becomes a proxy battleground between USA and China. for its resources. By 2030 Russia still exists but 25 to 50 percent smaller with the secession of its repubclics in the Caucasus , Siberia and the Far East.

  193. for Great Britain while they would have viewed the war as a great loss, they would still have kept control over the majority of the British empire , in fact they will probably gain more territory annexing the former French and Belgian territories in Africa. India would probably to independent with Japanese help. India would leave teh British empire , Pakistan would still become independent but will be close to the british empire, the Indians might be more close with the Japanese. Great Britain would even have a worse economy post war than in our timelne but I think britain would still hold the empire together however at great difficulty. Teh British would probably restore normal ties with Germany, Japan and USA to help ease its economic problems.
    1
  194.  @le_draffar5370  the war would have also ruined the Germans, the British yah they have a ruined economy but their African colonies are intact and I daresay they would actually annex the rest of French and Belgian Africa and the Middle east. however teh loss of India would be a huge blow on the british, I think the British empire will probably decolonize later and turn into a commonwealth, the Germans and italians or even the Vichy French are not in a position to take advantage of british decolonization since they have a huge threat of a resurgent USSR facing them, also the British still have control of the seas. and the Germans are not in a position to get back its african colonies as the british navy still has overwhelming superiority in the seas.

  195.  @le_draffar5370  I dont think its really a German victory, the Soviets will resurge under a vengeful Soviet military at the helm. minus Stalin. They have the motive to do so that they were almost destroyed by the nazis.
