Weekly Perun?
This week's topic:
From protective helmets to Storm Shadow missiles, an analysis of how the West manages escalation, "red lines" and how to inflict a strategic defeat on a nuclear power
Haven't watched but I assume the video will be an extrapolation of something he said last week. Adding new capabilities forces the enemy to adapt. The more capabilities added at once, the harder it is to adapt. Therefore we should have given Ukraine the HIMARS, HARMs, Storm Shadows, f-16s and tanks all at once.
no the video is essentially 'boilling the frog' how to provide aid without getting ur country by reducing risk.
Well, while he has comment to clarify that he was personally for more extreme escalation that wasn't his focus for the video for him
What a complete world salad.
I hate the word pipeline so fricking much. Also, tranche.
>as far back as the 80s, Russian institutiuons conducted a study and found 70% of Russians are functionally illiterate
>the same results were achieved in a similar, smaller scale study conducted in Belgorod 2023
Unironically the exact opposite of what he said last week. Slowly introduce new weapons and tactics to avoid tripping the enemy's red lines so they don't go full moron nuclear.
ive been not watching the last 2 months, and I dont have time catch up. which ones should I pick over the others?
The political and military role of PMCs and private armies in Modern Russia
Russian Hybrid Warfare
The role of Alliances and exporting security services
Japanese Self Defense Forces
Attrition and Casualties
That should last until one's lunch break
>Not having time for a 1 hour video you can play in the background
What is wrong with you?
he's like the Magic School Bus of Military strategy.
if he didnt have his funny accent, literally no one would give a frick about him
>he's like the Magic School Bus of Military strategy.
Loved by millions for wholesome, educational content?
Not sure if Perun can top miss Frizzle taking the class to get jizzed on by salmon though.
>today perun takes us on a magical journey to get raped by kadyrovites
Still no bahmut?
He did Bakmut ages ago. The gist of it was that
>It's a useless city
>Both sides want it for propaganda reasons
>Russia bled badly for it
>Ukraine gets increasingly less defender bonuses as Russia gains more ground, although it's still in their favor
>From a bean counter perspective, Ukraine should have retreated a while ago to reset the K:D ratio to a better rate for them
>Maybe they aren't doing that because keeping Russia focused on Bakmut like it's some bull flag has its advantages
>inb4 not real military analyst, doesn't have any credentials
He said it in one of his videos, that he has a degree in economics and has worked in military procurement. When asked to do a video about Australian defense topics, he was told to refrain, implying a connection to the government/military
Ziggers may now proceed to seethe.
It doesn't matter, it's an ad-hominem you're attempting to reply to. Logical fallacies don't warrant a response, what matters is the content of his videos.
Stop encouraging these glavset roosters.
on my mental register of /k/ regulars, you're
>that one dipshit who tries to shoehorn the word "glavset" into every single reply to zigposters, thinking it's some sort of Shibboleth of Ultimate Knowing or a deeply cutting insult when, in reality, only a tiny % of anons even know what the frick he's referring to
>ed: fits same profile as vranyo-replier anon, who similarly thinks that a fairly unremarkable word possesses special significance
glavset was smallish in scale and largely ineffectual. its crowning achievements were a handful of popular facebook, twitter, and tumblr trashposts with socially toxic themes. glavset-mentioner anon, you are fricking demented.
Ah, here comes the glavset damage control. Notice how they become alarmed when their place of work is called out by name.
kek that's a good one. so invoking glavset in reply to every "america bad" brainlet and pro-russia ziglet shitting up this place is also, somehow, naming the israelite. we are reaching new heights of Guy Who Knows One Word
No fricking evidence of any of that so I'm not going to take some YouTube homosexuals claims at face value.
What does "work in procurement" even mean? Did he scrub the toilets in their building?
Meaningless claim with no evidence. Until there is evidence this is just a DOTA playing nobody with midwit non expert takes.
>references toilet cleaning
>asks for proof
>DOTA
work time already over there?
>Did he scrub the toilets in their building?
You don't know what a clean toilet is.
>when the taco bell hits
To be completely fair: the video game must look appealing.
Daily reminder that Perun has no military or academic credentials and is an ex-DOTA streamer who re-packages information from Twitter onto Youtube for money.
He worked in military procurement
What was his job?
everytime I see Black folk seething about Perun I never see them actually credibly refute anything he points out or has to say. Not a single instance over the course of the past year.
curious
What is there to refute? It's pure pablum
Hell they don't even drop a LinkedIn dox, which would be the most basic evidence for this. It's all "trust me bro, i have sikret documents *~~))"
Meanwhile, from the rest of the sphere (lazerpig et al) perun hasn't only "worked" in procurement, he's unironically barred from livestreams and apparently has to run anything having to do with SEA defense situations through a handler.
He seemed to know what he was doing in his Terra Invicta videos. I trust his strategic acumen.
Military logistics is cool and all, but when’s the next dominions video?
This was a good one. Mind expanding. Russia shrinking.
what the FRICK was he trying to convey here?
That's a Jordan Peterson philosophical graph, it's about how you should CLEAN YOUR FRICKING ROOM, STINKYYYY
watch the video, idiot
If you don't get it, were you even paying attention up to that point in the video?
If you had it on in the background and just looked over randomly and saw that and were confused, then pay the frick attention next time.
If you were watching the whole time, and felt you understood so far, and STILL don't get it, then I'm afraid you probably didn't ACTUALLY understand what was being said so far.
>ha actually WATCHED the video
lmao
>he didn't actually WATCH the video
You're not supposed to watch it. It's second monitor content.
That's just something Russia say when Perun makes a really good video.
I don't think you know what second monitor content means.
I don't think you have a 2nd monitor, lol.
cool
I think I do, so it's my word against yours.
Sure, but with one small caveat. It's the word of a smart person (me), against someone with the intellect of a mollusc (you). Put that on your 2nd monitor, my boy.
That's still one against one.
Welcome to the democratic world buddy.
>the democratic world
The one where an individual vote in Wyoming counts nearly four times as much in the Electoral College as each individual vote in Texas?
Well I don't know how they do that in the US, here votes always count as one, no matter if it's a university professor or a 30 year old down syndrome baby.
>here votes always count as one
Here? You aren't some Australian staying up at 4am, are you?
No, I'm a europoor.
Damn, it's almost like the US is a collection of distinct states with their own people and governments, and the writers of the constitution didn't want bigger states raping the smaller ones so that they'd agree to join a Union.
To be fair, that just means you're not supposed to sit there staring at the content on screen the entire time, you're still supposed to see and read every slide though as well as follow the spoken content.
Second monitor content is content you watch casually on your second monitor.
Background content is content you don't watch at all (usually obscured behind another window or on a different tab).
- means you know they won't do shit.
? means you don't know how they will react so you have to go slowly and measure how they respond to avoid runaway escalation.
what did he actually mean by this, Russiabros?
The only thing I'm certain of is that Full Conventional War benefits Ukraine.
But I want to escalate.
>russia advantage
>conventional war
Against an Ukraine not supported by the West? Yeah, probably. Their infrastructure is wrecked and their capabilities of resuppling ammunition to the systems they have are limited. They would probably be forced to regress to guerrilla warfare in a couple of months (note that this would not still not be easy on Russia however).
That said I can't really imagine a world where, say, Poland stops to supply Ukraine with materials.
Yes
In a true 1-on-1 with no or very little aid for anyone Russia has a massive advantage
that's what that row describes
He's kind enough not to mention the comittments China has made:
>they have warned Russia against the use of WMDs or China will intervene
>they have asked certain NATO countries to please not use WMDs on Russia because it would be awkward
>commitments
>if you start a global thermonuclear war
>YOU LE LOSE
Its pretty simple:
>Ideal Russian state: They fight Ukies conventionally and the west doesn't intervene
>Current state: The west is pumping the ukies full of weapons
>If Russia escalates in any way, shit gets vastly worse for them until it reaches the point of national suicide in exchange for severe damage to the west
>Ergo, there is no incentive for Russia to actually escalate beyond the current point
Awesome, I love Dominions 5 content
>former minecraft youtuber
>obviously young with zero experience
>droning, unexciting voice and cadence
>overlong, boring powerpoint presentations about things we could easily find elsewhere
>little substance, all filler
Yeah, no thanks. I wouldnt watch this guy unless i was having trouble sleeping
get new material
bump
So where do you think the true red line is?
What does Russia have with which to escalate with that isn't nukes?
Nothing that anyone has come up with, so far it seems that they have no workable avenues for retaliation against NATO. Everything would either have too much risk of US/NATO (at least) conventional response. They’re right now just playing for time and hoping some other geopolitical event gets them off the hook. I have nothing but contempt for the ziggers.
>So where do you think the true red line is?
The Monke bunker
The largest escalation they can pull off right now short of nuclear weapons is pulling China into it.
Though the Chinese never do anything for free, this would basically be selling a significant portion of the country to the chinks and basically becoming a vassal state (which they’re on track to become either way) for China.
If the offer is tempting enough I’m sure the Chinese would go for it and the chuggers would start talking about how traditional and based China is
I don't think China has appetite for joining putin in his escapades. If anything Xi is hoping Putin oversteps so he has an excuse to retake the formerly Chinese territories and probably satellite Siberia. He could even back door some support by telling Japan they can have the Kurils. And the west would probably think a China that has to absorb new territory would push the Taiwan issue off for another decade so we'd be indifferent.
>Xi is hoping Putin oversteps so he has an excuse to retake the formerly Chinese territories and probably satellite Siberia.
If the situation for russia gets bleak enough he may be able to convince them to hand those territories over in exchange for military aid
Early this year, there was a United Nations resolution cindemning the war and basically saying that Russia ought to frick off back to its own side of the border. Russia voted against it, along with six other countries, including such names as Belarus and North Korea. Instead of voting with Russia, China abstained.
If they're not even willing to spend their diplomatic credibility to state that they agree with Russia, I can't imagine them committing troops.
i love me some dead vatBlack folk but Perun is cringey as frick
Lots of YouTube consumers hungry for propaganda so I can’t hate the guy for serving it up. If he had a good YouTube content production pipeline I’d be doing the same.
if you honestly believe that this shit – slide decks from a nasally melbournite who summarizes the contents of recent thinktank publications while maintaining an allergy to synthesizing new claims himself – is "propaganda", you are responding to the medium, not the message. boring wonk shit is very far down on the list of things to pearl clutch over.
Well I for one really enjoyed this week's video
