China will be reclaiming Siberia from its diminished sidekick, Russia.

Just as an observer, my curiosity about so much YouTube reporting these days....

Information on the channel: "USER CREATED" starting on Mar 24th, 2022

Oddly enough, the "content creation" seems to be being done in and posted to YouTube from Panama.

Source: https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UC3KfcvCLVi2PW_QY80hEwTA

Second source:
YouTube's own information --- Location: Panama

https://www.youtube.com/@militaryandhistory/about

One learns: 'The channel "Military & History" is monetized! Since Mar 23, 2022, the channel has generated 5,276,689 views. Assuming all views were monetized from day 1* with an average RPM of $3.00, this channel has generated $15,830.07 over 506 days. That's an average of $11,418.92 per year.

Source: https://isthischannelmonetized.com/

His donation information he publishes in the YouTube account -- IBAN tells that his account is in Sparkasse Freyung-Grafenau.

His Patreon page gives his name -- Torsten Heinrich. And the Wiki page on him says: "Torsten Heinrich (* 9. Oktober 1982 in Würzburg)[1] ist ein ehemaliger Politiker der Alternative für Deutschland. Er lebt heute in Panama und betreibt einen Video-Blog zu militärischen und geschichtlichen Themen, insbesondere zum russischen Überfall auf die Ukraine."

He has his own website -- https://mgeschichte.com/ -- but the YouTube and Twitter exposure is obviously more effective.

He says he is "German military historian (M.A. from the University of Würzburg), former German army armored recon within a mountain division, 30 years of first interest, then studying, then working in the fields of military, military history, and geopolitics. I also created a few small companies and was a defense and foreign policy politician in the past. "

Interestingly, the Würzburg university website does not show "military historian" among their "programs." I invite any German speakers to further read through the total list of "Studienangebot von A - Z"

Source: https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/studium/angebot/faecher/

It seems that many, many channels have twigged onto the fact that YouTube monetizes, and passes on 55% of ad revenues, if a viewer watches more than 30 seconds of monetized video.

His Panama-based channel is not a big earner compared to champs like Kanal13, which the above and other analytic sources tells brings in about $565,194.87 per year.

The German guy in Panama -- a "serious-sounding guy with beard stubble" -- needs to step up his YouTibe game to catch US-resident Kanal13.

Hoping for a megalomaniac tyrant to triumph and reduce its neighbor to rubble and ruin is not beautiful at all. Find a better thing to hope for.

You are going to struggle mightily with Revelations, and especially this bit. This is a fertile field for self delusion. It seems like every interpreter has blithely assumed that it applies to his time, and so tries to torture meaning out of it, but it hasn’t meant squat so far.

Its a global world, oh “worldtraveler” :)

Having grown up in an expat society, to me it seems perfectly normal to find Germans in Panama. Or Britons in Taiwan (another channel), or South Africans in China, or formerly so (another channel). And expats are, generally speaking, a very curious and talented lot.

In the words of Bill Clinton to Juanita Broderick, put some ice in that.

Your interpretation is, as must be, 9/10th faith in your own insight. It cannot be shown to another from the text alone.

This was, in my Catholic education, a major point made against “sola scriptura”.

--- "...expats are, generally speaking, a very curious and talented lot.

No question about that.

My only point to make is that we are now in a video version of Chinese whispers, because not even a "curious and talented" expat such as more than one of us might try to argue, is any of the video "testimony" first-person stuff. Add to this, the rapid development of LLMs and CGI suggest that shortly we can create "content." Or maybe we're there already?

By the way, I count you one of the worldtravlers for such as you have said of yourself. Me, the "once upon a time" is the more informative part of my adventure now slowing down. Decrepitude slowly comes. Fine poem from Goethe about that.

“Its water supply, now just a canal running along the Azov Sea, is getting pretty iffy, as Ukraine expands its bridgehead and keeps crossing the Dnipro into Kherson Oblast.”

Wow, didn’t know they legalized drugs there.

Thanks again for the information. As you’ve pointed out previously, these YouTube “reporters” are in far-flung regions of the world and nowhere near the action. And they’re all making money by putting out these videos.

Where are the on-the-ground reporters?

This is why nobody with any sense believes any of the propaganda being spewed forth from either side.

I posted several links to non-Putin sources for you. You might try intellectual curiosity. It’s a very potent drug, though not recommended for those suffering from Reality-phobia.

These are commenters and news presenters. If you don’t like one fellow, find another. The video bits are independently available if you know where to look, its just a chore. All of them are vastly better than MSM news of any sort, with some exceptions proving better than others. Die Welt and tvpworld.com are two.

I don’t need acid to see that Russia is winning - virtually the ENTIRE Western Media now realizes Ukraine is a lost cause.

Ukraine: The Latest is a podcast by the Telegraph, and frequently features reporters returning from on-the-ground or actually on-the-ground. I’ve always found it informative. Until the Russians overran Mariupol, Patrick Lancaster reported live from there. He’s now embedded with the Russian forces that he favors, and still reporting live.

A Reporter with expertise, who knows how to analyze footage from a military perspective might have a good deal more useful information than an “on-the-ground” correspondent. Nothing should be discounted out of hand.

“This is why nobody with any sense believes any of the propaganda being spewed forth from either side.”

The thing to do is to glean the truth from the propaganda, because even a lie has to have some basis in truth, or it would not be believable. That’s what Goebbels and CNN didn’t get. Find the kernel of truth and you can then explode the lie built on that kernel.

The irrigation canal to Crimea from the Dneiper/Dripro/Dnepr began to be throttled months ago, when the Ukrainians took over the left bank of the Dnipro upon the Russian retreat from the Kherson bridgehead.

And its going to take a very long time to restore it, what with the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam. That put an end to water supplies from the river.

Now, Crimea had local water sources, apparently sufficient for domestic needs for its present population. What military effect the shortage of water will have is an open question.
