"Anyone that comes on here saying, you cronazis and all this stuff, you are not rational. Yes, I am pro-Ukraine here because I'm a moral human being. And I can look at the evidence, and the evidence is hugely overwhelming that the Russians are the bad guys here."
Hello Team!
Jonathan introduces this as an extra Ukraine War Update video to provide additional nuggets and tidbits for greater understanding of the events around the war.

Mobik Discontent
- Video circulating of mobilized Russian conscripts who have had enough of horrible conditions and are forcing their way out of a complex
- Reports they may have fought and beat up their commander
- Reflects difficulties Russia is having with mobilization
- Russian general previously in charge of mobilization found dead, his wife said he had no resources and it was a complete mess
- Recent polls suggest dwindling support for the war among Russian population
Russian Losses
- New footage of a Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter being shot down in eastern Ukraine
- Major loss for Russia as crew almost certainly killed and they take a long time to train and replace
- Discussion on tank losses - Russia has lost at least 1538 tanks per Oryx, conservative estimate
- Fewer tanks being destroyed per day now compared to earlier in war
- Suggests Russia running low on tanks as no evidence of major reinforcement
- In contrast, Ukraine constantly getting tank reinforcements and upgrades from allies
Grain Theft
- Bloomberg report that Russia has looted Ukrainian territories of up to 6 million tons of wheat crop worth $1 billion
- Adds to moral bankruptcy of Russian invasion - not only invaded but stolen food to fund their war effort
Pro-Russian Morality
Jonathan discusses the morality and rationality of being pro-Russia in this war:
- Hard to understand motivations of pro-Russian commenters beyond being paid Russian bots, victims of Russian misinformation, or anti-West
- Cannot look at evidence of Russian atrocities and war crimes and still think they are the "good guys"
- Requires cognitive dissonance to ignore overwhelming evidence to maintain belief Russia is right
- Compares to conspiracy theory thinking - clinging to least probable explanation by performing mental gymnastics
- Forcefully argues that pro-Russian advocates are not rationally justified based on evidence of Russian wrongdoing
Ukrainian Training
- Video of Ukrainians doing proper combined arms training with infantry and mechanized units
- Something not seen from Russian side demonstrating lack of preparation
Wrap up
Jonathan reiterates his view that pro-Russian advocates are not morally or rationally warranted given overwhelming evidence of Russian atrocities and wrongdoing in this war. Thanks viewers for their patience and support, requests they like, subscribe and share the video, and mentions ways to help support his channel. Signs off until tomorrow.
