Ukraine Is Too Strong--Russian Offensive Is Doomed - Econ Lessons

Although I am an economist, I needed to make a video on Ukraine and the defense of Kharkiv. Here, I break down Russia’s 2025 summer offensive toward Kharkiv—why it's not a genuine military breakthrough but rather a strategic bluff. Ukraine remains deeply entrenched, with a robust territorial defense and unwavering commitment to life, liberty, and sovereignty. We contrast this with Russia’s historical pattern of using mass casualties and psychological intimidation as tools of war.

But today, the situation has shifted. Russia’s economy is faltering, and its attempts to project power are more about perception than military success. With supply chains strained and morale uncertain, this offensive is unlikely to achieve its goals. Ukraine stands resilient, not only defending its land but exposing the hollowness of Russia’s geopolitical theater.

All life is sacred, and Ukraine’s wisdom and fortitude will prevail. Good wins over evil. Thank goodness for that as we want to make the world a better place.
