Many weapon systems sent to Ukraine or deployed by Russia have been characterised by at least some commentators as potential "game changers."
From Javelin to Lancet and the Leopard 2, many new systems have been introduced and/or scaled up in use over the course of the war, and some have entered in dramatic fashion (as with the recent ATACMS strikes).
In this episode I review a sample of "game changer" systems, discuss how we might evaluate whether or not a system deserves the title, and figure out what each did, or didn't, do to change the war in Ukraine.
“Hype & advocacy”
Indeed.
YouCraine Must be Funded BEFORE the needs of Americans.
Hey there! THAT's a title.
Maybe yes, maybe no. Could be or couldn't. Did or didn't.
Since Perun uploads his YouTube content from Australia, maybe the Oz folks have a different way of expressing themselves? Or maybe not.
As he says in his "About" section of the channel: "It should go without saying that all views expressed by me in any of this content are simply personal opinion and nothing I say at any point should be taken as financial advice.. "
The only ones winning this war are the arms makers and the politicians (ie, “The Big Guy”) getting kickbacks.
American super rockets will change every thing. Watch Russia cave in under the accurate fire of these Wonder Weapons! Victory by next Spring! Russia is running out of men and tanks. Soon they will have no more shells to shoot and the barrels of their cannons warped by over use. Watch the video’s of masses of Russian Troops surrendering (to be shot as war criminals). Look at Ukraine and not Israel! Send us the money! Not the jews. Send it now, the people of Ukraine are starting to see that Zelensky is more of a problem than Putin.
We have the Battle of the Lobbies, being fought in the media courtesy of the State Dept, and being consumed by dulled Americans, too dazed and confused to see what's happening.

Title utilizes a common literary device. Perfectly applicable and no problem with it.
:)
"Israeli army releases footage of first operational use of ‘Iron Sting’ munition destroying rocket launcher (or doesn't)"
"Venezuelans take top spot over Mexicans for illegal border crossings into the U.S. (or don't)"
"RUSSIAN Economy Collapsing - Net Loss Hits 1.7TR, Oil & Gas Revenues Fall 70% & War Costs Rise (or isn't)"
John F. Kerry approved this common literary device, before he didn't.
