Things have gotten so bad that they&#8217;re even bringing in North Korean missile teams to ramp up the strikes, and have begun using air defense missiles as offensive weapons. But all is not as it might seem. In this video I talk about why Russia&#8217;s ballistic missile campaign is structurally incapable of succeeding strategically. I discuss Russia&#8217;s goals, Ukraine&#8217;s responses, and more, including Ukraine&#8217;s soon to come new weapon systems.<\/p>\n<p>Become an Insider Member to access bonus content, including the weekly Insider Q&amp;A videos: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC0TivKVOs7FmXn-y_VOdD2g\/join<\/p>\n<p>You can support my work by becoming a Patron (Patrons also get the Insider Q&amp;A videos!): https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/user?u=64634118<\/p>\n<p>Buy Me a Coffee: https:\/\/www.buymeacoffee.com\/paulwarburg<\/p>\n<p>Join my email newsletter: https:\/\/paul-warburg.ck.page\/subscribe<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to my channel: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC0TivKVOs7FmXn-y_VOdD2g?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to The Icarus Project for more in-depth analysis from me: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@icarusproject<\/p>\n<p>*For those asking about my gear:*<br \/>\nCamera: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3WhoAyp<br \/>\nWide Angle Lens: https:\/\/amzn.to\/4bU6eta<br \/>\nMicrophone: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YthPdU<br \/>\nWind Screen: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3NHoDQt<br \/>\nTripod: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YF3zjM<br \/>\nBackpack: https:\/\/amzn.to\/4eZJWsz<\/p>\n<p>The links above are Amazon affiliate links, from which I earn a small commission for purchases.\u00a0VIDEO SOURCE<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u200bGo to https:\/\/ground.news\/Paul to uncover the story behind the story.
