11:30 I grew up in East Timor 🇹🇱, i still remember that we were told not to go out the backyard because landmines were active it was just 14 years ago pretty recent. Lot of people died.
this clip has received over 200k views in Chinese Social media right now!
哈哈追溯原视频
Are you talking a bout a different social media platform or are you saying your CZcams looks different in China and shows the numbers differently because I only see 2.4 thousand views so far from my view on my you tube app right now? And you’re not the only person who commented this
@@thatsdaniellelol hey Danielle, Im talking about platforms and apps Chinese people use like ZhiHu and BiliBili, cuz google brand apps are banned in china.
@@sidxu550 ohhhh WOW
That’s…wow. Thank You for sharing that with me
你好！B战链接有吗？
It’s very respectful for a teacher in the USA to point out the similarities between Russia and USA with an unbiased point of view, there is no right or wrong in war, there is only gain or loss, benefit or resource. USA doesn’t have the most military spending in the world for no reason, the world police doesn’t work for free, it’s all about resource and benefit.
There is always right and wrong in war. Most wars are for against some group of people. The American civil war slavery vs freedom etc
It is all about attracting money back to the states, by creating unrest in Europe.
Well I learned a lot today
It's shocking that this video only has 5k views
Some observations:
1) Having watched a number of these clips, the student participating in the discussion seems to be the most intelligent and articulate student to have taken the stage by a country mile. He is actually meaningfully engaging with the topic and questioning the lecturer. Which shouldn't be surprising, but when compared to what other students in this class (across multiple years) have demonstrated, is a pleasant surprise.
2) I assume the lecturer is intentionally simplifying some of the ideas/positions he has thrown out for the purposes of illustrating his point, because the subtext to some of the notions being advanced is rather unsavory (although as he has highlighted, this is not unusual behaviour to witness on the international stage). For example, when illustrating the Russian perspective of NATO pulling countries over to the 'other' side, this mis-characterises what is happening (though may be an accurate depiction of the Russian perspective). NATO cannot simply pull countries into its alliance at will. Countries exert their sovereign will to make decisions, and these countries independently made their own decisions on whether they wished to apply to NATO (or not). To simply regurgitate Putin's rhetoric is to strip Eastern European nations of their ability to make independent sovereign decisions.
Great class
American people should watch the video now!
没毛病
What a great teacher
You should all see Berlin Station season 3 - freakily similar.
this is a perfect of group think, everyone agrees with the Richards no one as a different view

05:25 🇺🇸 The United States has a history of both positive actions and grave mistakes in its international endeavors, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging both aspects.
07:57 🌐 The Cold War context helps understand Russia's concerns about geopolitical interests and its actions to prevent Ukraine from aligning with the West.
11:09 🌍 Horrific actions by the United States, like in Latin America, mirror Russia's actions in Ukraine, revealing shared motivations for geopolitical dominance.
14:13 💥 Crimea's significance to Russia's strategic interests and historical parallels contribute to the current tensions between Russia and the West.

Thanks nafo fella ! Slava Ukraini !
The reason why Russia launched the war is that if Ukraine joins NATO, the US and NATO can place missiles in Ukrainian territory, that's on the face of Moscow. So if the United States wanted to launch a war because the USSR wanted to set up missiles in Cuba, why not Russia? No doubt that Putin's war is kinda cruel, but it's a straight up double standard when people just criticize Russia and don't reflect on themselves. Imagine Canada joining Russia's power and willing to set up missiles for Russia.
Unfortunately lots of people couldn’t relate that it is a very serious existential issue to Russia, or else the gas and petrol price is high AF, how could them launch the war? Very sad, after 2020 pandemic then is this
The US had done the same thing during the Kennedy administration (i.e. placing missile in Turkey) which angered the Russian who in return do a "Tit for tat" at Cuba which resulted the Cuban crisis. But the western media conveniently didn't report the US was in fact the first one who placed missile at the door step of USSR. It seemed US never reflected on their own bad behavior and always turned around and blame other first.
@@mmojave 说的一点没毛病，双标美利坚
Absolutely. I don't understand why is it so hard for some people to realize the similarities. Let's not forget the us funded/ backed 2014 coup to remove a democratically elected government. Not to ignore also is the 25 + biowep labs recently exposed to the international community. In flagrant violation of International laws !!!! Got knows what's hidden behind it...🤔🤔🤔
Look at a map, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania all NATO members and just as close to Moscow as Ukraine, it's not about placing missiles in Ukraine, stop being apologists for this Russian aggression.
While the Crimean Base is very very important Ukraine is the source of 90% of the food produced in Russia. It's called the "Russian Breadbasket" for that reason.
If Ukraine joins NATO, Russia would lose the ability to feed their own population without becoming heavily defendant on importation (and from a now NATO member).
History is not kind to countries that have allowed this happen.
I truly don’t get why we can’t just share. (I haven’t learned anything about that before)
Is it maybe because the country providing the food will focus on feeding their people first and then giving food to others? Or maybe because the other countries who use the source country’s food try to control the source country and force them to give them food? Or maybe because the source country won’t give out food without some type of incentive?
I’m seriously asking, if you know
Ukraine is not Russian, they're their own country so Russia already imports good from a foreign country. They're also not going to stop being able to trade just because they join NATO, NATO is a defence bloc not a trading bloc. NATO countries trade with Russia now and have done for years.
Not true. Its so that Russia can't invade ukrain if Ukraine is in nato
@@stinkygremlin267 Ukraine's joining NATO is in itself an invitation to world war. The US is constantly scheming to create a conflict. The first wanted to use Poland to transfer their weapons to Ukraine, because Poland is and will probably be the main battlefield between the west and Russia. Then they started poking around the pipeline, roaming the war zone. It's not the US war, don't let them enter the war zone because they are intruders. Inflation is rising because money is going to the most corrupt country, Ukraine.
@@thatsdaniellelol Look at the Holodomor for your answer
Bruh, it's just "Ukraine", not "the Ukraine".
I too hate hearing that, it's like nails on a chalkboard
I wonder if the overlook it again now that almost two years have passed and it has got more clear what russia actually wants to do. Im saying it as a perosn from russia.
Why Russia don’t want Ukraine to join NATO? It should be focused on NATO. Why can’t be NATO, but allow Ukraine to join Europe Union? It’s because NATO is a military organisation.
Zelenskyy wants to join the EU but Ukraine doesn't meet the criteria for it so they can't. And they want to join Nato bc then if Russia attacks they attack all of Nato
@@stinkygremlin267 Zelenskyy is a puppet, he can’t decide anything.
its because nato is worthless as a military organisation
@@leozhang4916 lol do not mistake Zelensky for Medveded
The Russians did not start the cue in Ukraine it was the Americans.
It is not different from crusades of middle-ages, all in the name of Goodness and God, justify violence by saying it is for the enemies's own good.
Muslims:??
Native Americans: ??
@1:40 Well, that aged poorly. Russia tried to do exactly that less than one month later. I could forgive him for just not predicting the future if it weren't for the fact that Russia already invaded an annexed part of Ukraine in 2014. This guy is either uninformed to the extreme or horribly naive.
Yes, he made a mistake here
Seems more of a Poli Sci class than a SOC/
14:53, my answer: why usa trying to expand nato to ukraine?
they're not. It's Ukraine who wants to join. They're tired of the stupid russians telling them how to think and act
从抖音追溯过来，发现并没多少看😅
这位教授分析的非常客观。但是我感觉他的观点在我们中国人的认知里是常识，很惊讶还有很多美国人不知道这些。
The professor is very objective in his analysis. But I feel that his views are common knowledge in our Chinese perception and I am surprised that many Americans do not know them.
1450肯定不懂
@@anthnyg81 或者有些人是装作不懂
Of course these views a common knowledge in China... the CCP has been feeding Russian propaganda to its citizens since day 1 in order to maintain anti-american views, and anyone who disagrees is promptly sent to re-education camp.
If you disagree, instead of writing back, feel free to loudly announce in public how opposed you are to Russia's unlawful invasion of Ukraine, and see how that goes for you.
@@telanos2492 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dead
妙啊！
This vid received more than 10k likes in Chinese social medias, more people should watch this instead of knowing nothing about reasons of Russia Ukraine wars.
没错
Are you talking a bout a different social media platform or are you saying your CZcams looks different in China and shows the numbers differently because I only see 2.4 thousand views so far from my view on my you tube app right now? And you’re not the only person who commented this
@@thatsdaniellelol Another platform actually, I saw this vid from TikTok in China and I found the original vid here.
@@jungledatforest ohhh okay. Thanks for letting me know
I don't like intellectual cynicism, which I think this man has a lot,
Dude, sorry, you have an idea, but definitely, you don't understand in depth what communism is. You are implying that citizens in communist countries want to follow that path?! In the Second World War, people died, but ...
you do ignore the degree of illness of what russia is today. the war? mostly like fashist italy invading albania (while "winning" great britain??) its nkt about communism/capitalism, or nato (look at the map of nato and real distance from nato to moscow being like it for years), nor crimea itself. the war, as a concept, is the illness, but russians wars against chechenskaya repeblic or ukraine, or so many others, are recreations of human tendencies of genocides.
about analogies: exterior politics were pretty close, but inner ones change the game. nihilistic culture of russia plus propaganda and the past politics of ussr equals to absence of opposition ans so justification of the genocides. this is russian nation. the end.
Dude cannot really give a straight answer.
Yes the us does the same or worse for the past 75 years !! In this case Russia is facing an existential situation. Hard to deny.
Hard to deny what?
@@thatsdaniellelol existential situation. Can't read ?😀
@@hanotify wow that was unnecessarily rude. I was asking you a genuine question trying to pick your brain and converse with you to learn your perspective
There was no need for that
You really think that NATO would have invaded Russia if Ukraine had joined? Or what existential situation are you referring to?
@@matthewwright2820 who wants nukes at its doorsteps? . Remember Cuba ?
I'm going on an adventure in the comment section !! So much pathetic desperate russians bots and trolls here !!
To be honest, Russia never said what make Ukrian be part of Russia.
On Maidan it was American snipers working for Blackwater, and the goal was to overthrow legit government what they did. America can't allow foreign troops in Canada, Mexico or Cuba, same thing is for Russia in the Ukraine.
The teacher is not great. He doesn’t know politics and diplomacy , I can tell.
How and what is your experience?
All he does is to perform whataboutism
You mentioned whatabohtism, and it may sound like it but I think the professor is giving us an intellectual perspective for young American students who only perceive world issues from America, influenced mainly by American politics. So we don’t form biased opinions on these issues but be proactive in identifying and preventing impetuous people
@@dldptmej I agree.
@@JJ-mp4oy well, I did say those 'who only perceive the issues from America'
