This also removes much reputable factual reporting, combat footage, first hand accounts, in-depth reports and similar. I get that some people don't like videos as a source of information but others do - remember some people read, others listen/watch to get news (think of those who read a newspaper vs watch news on TV or listen to it on radio) - people have different ways of absorbing information. I personally use multiple formats. To imply, deliberately or not, that all youtube videos are just created by "anyone" and are just clickbait or similar is sadly misguided.

I call piles of BS. Denial to the enemy is not liberation. There's no way to get Ukrainian boots onto Crimea until all of Kherson Oblast is liberated. And as it stands, across all fronts Ukraine has liberated perhaps five to six hundred Km2 in 2026; so all of Kherson is a hard ask.

Probably so. At the same time, Kherson Oblast can hardly be liberated without the destruction of the Russian air force, missile and strike UAV capability in the Crimea. Tavria is flat; crossing it today is suicidal.

I have a reoccurring dream where the Ukrainian navy secures the sea to the west of Crimea and then a half dozen modified grain carriers depart Odessa on a seemingly normal transit towards the Bosphorus Strait, before they divert and race onto the beach north of Yevpatoriya, where a hundred or more AFVs and thousands of troops offload. Unlike most LSTs, these are likely one-way trips onto the beach.

Once the beach is secure, a Mulberry Harbour is set up to keep the men provisioned with food, arms and ammo. Meanwhile a swarm of Ukrainian drones keeps the defenders on the back foot.

By spring 2027, the Third Siege of Sevastopol (1854-55, 1941-42) is well underway. The place seems destined to be besieged every 86 years or so.

Which is why I've put on "ignore" our most prolific poster of YouTube vids. No offence or request for change, but I just needed to clear my feed on this topic of all the YouTube opinion pieces, one-sided clickbait, "expert" taking heads, repurposed/Ai footage, and wishful thinking. This still gives me the option to click "unignore" for when I want to peruse the latest steaming pile of YouTube content.

While I agree with you on most youtube videos I do pay considerable attention to videos featuring retired senior NATO military officers and other similarly qualified persons. I also watch some that are time consuming but feature turret tosses (getting very rare) and ammunition cook offs. Time wasting yes but very pleasurable.

And yes I agree with Dimlee Dimlee - predictions of immanent Crimea and other major liberation's are bat shit crazy brain farts.
