In 1989 China was targeted by the CIA following student demonstrations in Tiananmen Square. Fortunately, the hardline Chinese communist party elite took firm action.
Imagine a world after the fell of the USSR where Russia became democratic and got into the EU. The EU would be a true superpower, mostly indipendent from China and America except for specific technology or prime resources… it wouldn’t be a perfect world, maybe the tensions wouldn’t be between the west and the east but maybe would be something like a near collapse of a USA without much political power in the world or something idk.

Those two idiots didn't end the Cold War. The Soviet Union collapsed because its model wasn't sustainable. The reagan cultists will ridiculously tell you it was all because of him.
Unfortunately we were too complacent back then. When Bush says "Eastern Europe is free", that may be being undone if we dont step up and support Ukraine. It borders several Eastern European countries.
Why? Russian Federation didnt try to rebuild its empire. They invaded Ukraine just to avoid them to join NATO and put them nuclear bases few meters from Moscow. In First 10 years as Russian president, Putin tried all the way to establish good relationship with US but was rejected every time.
@@gioilcreatore3547 Have you heard of the Russian Reset? Besides, whose fault is it that Ukrainians want to join NATO? They were going to do no such thing until Russian aggression compelled Ukraine to go from loving them to hating them. NATO doesn't force countries to join it, they open the door to allow them to. And NATO barely but already bordered Russia when they invaded Ukraine. How does taking Crimea stop the West from making nuclear bases a "few meters from Moscow" ? How would they even do that??
@@woozy7405 Ukraine didnt want to join NATO till 2014, when there was a coup that lead another party at the government. A corrupt government (you can find many articles about it) that want to join a military alliance that can only destabilize all the situation in the eastern sphere of the planet. There were specific agreements made at the end of the Cold War that Ukraine had to remain neutral. Yes, NATO already bordered Russia but not a such huge border. US would have done an invasion too if Mexico or Canada wanted to join a military alliance with Russia or China, we both know that. They did it for far less important reasons in Iraq and Afghanistan (just to tell the last). Zelenskyi doomed his own people and before that he slaughtered tons of thousands of civilians in the eastern part of Ukraine for 9 years. You forgot that. But Im not surprised.
The hope. Thats what we need again. Everyone says that it was diffrent back then, but it wasnt. Our toys have changed but man has stayed the same. We need to have hope again
George Bush was a great president. It's a shame he wasn't given a second term in office. I will forever be pissed off at Perot for taking away votes that would likely have gone to Bush. More people voted against Bill Clinton in 1992 than voted for him. This speech from Bush shows his grace and class that we don't see today. Many people in his country were mad at Bush for not celebrating the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He calmly announced it and did not gloat the obvious loss of the Cold War by the Soviets. Gloating could have caused hard liners to launch a coup.
Why do you love this neocon establishmentarian looser so much? If Bush cared for the hard working man and women of this country, he would have received another electoral landslide. Instead, he sold them out in horrific atrocities like NAFTA. This led both Democrats and Republicans to vote for Perot the only candidate who cared for the American people.
Looking back, though I didn't vote for HW, he was a good president. Reaganomics (Laffer curves, trickle down economics, increasing the national debt) had to explode eventually. It exploded on HW's watch and, relatively honest man that he was, even as he was head of the CIA before, he raised taxes and was booted. Bill Clinton gets abuse from Republicans and Newt Gingrich types, but he was also a good president. He cut spending and, as I recall, even cut taxes. The economy did well, he was re-elected.
From 5:25 it is a good lesson to the extremists who do not want to support Ukraine! What the president warns for is happening now and the US is falling back on the world stage. Listen up, the free world needs you! We stand together against tyranny🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦

The United States cannot be blamed for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Instead the rule for the people there was advanced. In the end, there is no difference between the Teaser regime and the Soviet Union. The one-party regime was the main reason for the collapse of the Soviet Union
World peace will probably not happen for centuries, if ever. Humans find too much to fight about, and if they don't, they make stuff up. Hell, the US doesn't even have national peace. Look at the political divide - now worse than ever.
The final collapse of the Soviet Union was chaotic and in some places warlike. Civil war in Georgia and the Nagorno-Karabakh war in Azerbaijan. Nevertheless, it was the best thing that could happen, that this dungeon of nations would collapse like a house of cards. Multiethnic states that come into being under coercion are doomed to failure, like Austria-Hungary, Yugoslavia, the Ottoman Empire, the Roman Empire and the Soviet Union. But if this multiethnic state is a voluntary project like the USA, then the house will continue to exist.
Hence why China’s growing empire is more than likely not gonna last, with the imprisonment of Uyghurs in China, HK falling into the CCP’s control, and the possible future invasion of Taiwan, I can’t see people wanting to side with China in the long run
Yes but you need to remember that in WWI, US entered by the end of the conflict against a tired opponent who already lost million casualties. In WWII without the Soviets US would have not been able to win, not without nuclearizing Europe. In the Cold War they won because Soviet Union self destroyed itself. So, yeah they won all this conflicts but we need to specificy how and the circumstances.
The Soviet union was losing most of the time in in World War II. Actually the only one by lucky winter in fact, in World War I, six soldiers, who were infected by the Spanish flu, still managed to beat Germany soldiers just saying.
@@chummygun Yes, it was. Without the control of the socialist world, it gave us the situations that whole world is in today, and it only got worse thanks to the constant wars that the US keeps pushing against other countries.

While 1991 began the era in America when our country truly began to lose itself, it must have been nice hearing that at the time. Let it serve as a lesson to all: Ideological wars don't collapse with nations. Any political that is done can be undone. Nothing is "settled law"
I thought it started on 9/11 though? No?
@@professional.commentator it actually started when clinton took office.
The Cold War was so not worth for the USSR which just quit the challenge against the US due to their economic imorovement not gained after recovering from Brezhnev-era Stagnation.
In an alternate timeline, Georgy Malenkov or his succesor was giving a speech about the end of western imperialism and the death of the USA
What is wrong with you freedom Hating commies
Ended in 1991 and began again 8 years later with NATO's eastern expansion despite promising that it wont happen
when exactly was it promised and by whom? repeating delusions don't make them true btw
@@jolly-rancher Secretary of State James Baker promised that NATO would not expand into post-Soviet states.
It was the Eastern Europeans who wanted protection from U.S in case of Russian aggression. Ukraine didn't join now they are facing invasion.

Liberalism is utopia
Meanwhile millions continue to starve from capitalism and billions are trapped in a life of poverty and corruption caused by capital interests
In 1989 China was targeted by the CIA following student demonstrations in Tiananmen Square. Fortunately, the hardline Chinese communist party elite took firm action.
Bush: "Eastern Europe is Free."
Putin: *"I'm about to do what's called a pro gamer move."*
Imagine a world after the fell of the USSR where Russia became democratic and got into the EU. The EU would be a true superpower, mostly indipendent from China and America except for specific technology or prime resources… it wouldn’t be a perfect world, maybe the tensions wouldn’t be between the west and the east but maybe would be something like a near collapse of a USA without much political power in the world or something idk. But I don’t think it would be much worse than now
If Russia had been more democratic and allied themselves with the EU, then the world would be a much safer place than it is rn (except for China’s rising power).
1991 thru 2001 was America at its peak. Before the dark times

Unfortunately we were too complacent back then. When Bush says "Eastern Europe is free", that may be being undone if we dont step up and support Ukraine. It borders several Eastern European countries.
Why? Russian Federation didnt try to rebuild its empire. They invaded Ukraine just to avoid them to join NATO and put them nuclear bases few meters from Moscow.
In First 10 years as Russian president, Putin tried all the way to establish good relationship with US but was rejected every time.
@@gioilcreatore3547 Have you heard of the Russian Reset? Besides, whose fault is it that Ukrainians want to join NATO? They were going to do no such thing until Russian aggression compelled Ukraine to go from loving them to hating them. NATO doesn't force countries to join it, they open the door to allow them to. And NATO barely but already bordered Russia when they invaded Ukraine. How does taking Crimea stop the West from making nuclear bases a "few meters from Moscow" ? How would they even do that??
@@woozy7405 Ukraine didnt want to join NATO till 2014, when there was a coup that lead another party at the government. A corrupt government (you can find many articles about it) that want to join a military alliance that can only destabilize all the situation in the eastern sphere of the planet. There were specific agreements made at the end of the Cold War that Ukraine had to remain neutral. Yes, NATO already bordered Russia but not a such huge border. US would have done an invasion too if Mexico or Canada wanted to join a military alliance with Russia or China, we both know that. They did it for far less important reasons in Iraq and Afghanistan (just to tell the last). Zelenskyi doomed his own people and before that he slaughtered tons of thousands of civilians in the eastern part of Ukraine for 9 years. You forgot that. But Im not surprised.

Putin is losing
George Bush was a great president. It's a shame he wasn't given a second term in office. I will forever be pissed off at Perot for taking away votes that would likely have gone to Bush. More people voted against Bill Clinton in 1992 than voted for him. This speech from Bush shows his grace and class that we don't see today. Many people in his country were mad at Bush for not celebrating the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He calmly announced it and did not gloat the obvious loss of the Cold War by the Soviets. Gloating could have caused hard liners to launch a coup.
Why do you love this neocon establishmentarian looser so much? If Bush cared for the hard working man and women of this country, he would have received another electoral landslide. Instead, he sold them out in horrific atrocities like NAFTA. This led both Democrats and Republicans to vote for Perot the only candidate who cared for the American people.
Iraq
@spawnerist6241 ok
Dude Perot didn't even get any electoral vote
Looking back, though I didn't vote for HW, he was a good president. Reaganomics (Laffer curves, trickle down economics, increasing the national debt) had to explode eventually. It exploded on HW's watch and, relatively honest man that he was, even as he was head of the CIA before, he raised taxes and was booted. Bill Clinton gets abuse from Republicans and Newt Gingrich types, but he was also a good president. He cut spending and, as I recall, even cut taxes. The economy did well, he was re-elected.
From 5:25 it is a good lesson to the extremists who do not want to support Ukraine! What the president warns for is happening now and the US is falling back on the world stage. Listen up, the free world needs you! We stand together against tyranny🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦
Ukraine stole billions of US taxpayers money and didn't use it to fund their war..
Then it all went down hill during the Iraq war…

The United States cannot be blamed for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Instead the rule for the people there was advanced. In the end, there is no difference between the Teaser regime and the Soviet Union. The one-party regime was the main reason for the collapse of the Soviet Union
German empire failed but...
CIA worked hard to miss a chance for World's peace after that😅
World peace will probably not happen for centuries, if ever. Humans find too much to fight about, and if they don't, they make stuff up. Hell, the US doesn't even have national peace. Look at the political divide - now worse than ever.
what would you say now?
IS THAT THE GUY FROM BLACK OPS 6
And then we lived happily ever after
I like to learn with George Herbert walker bush even though it is propaganda
And now look at where we are.
The final collapse of the Soviet Union was chaotic and in some places warlike. Civil war in Georgia and the Nagorno-Karabakh war in Azerbaijan. Nevertheless, it was the best thing that could happen, that this dungeon of nations would collapse like a house of cards. Multiethnic states that come into being under coercion are doomed to failure, like Austria-Hungary, Yugoslavia, the Ottoman Empire, the Roman Empire and the Soviet Union. But if this multiethnic state is a voluntary project like the USA, then the house will continue to exist.
USA is a voluntary project? Native Americans were not massacred to establish United States of America?
Hence why China’s growing empire is more than likely not gonna last, with the imprisonment of Uyghurs in China, HK falling into the CCP’s control, and the possible future invasion of Taiwan, I can’t see people wanting to side with China in the long run
World War 1 Won By USA
World War 2 Won By USA
Cold War Won By USA
Yes but you need to remember that in WWI, US entered by the end of the conflict against a tired opponent who already lost million casualties. In WWII without the Soviets US would have not been able to win, not without nuclearizing Europe. In the Cold War they won because Soviet Union self destroyed itself.
So, yeah they won all this conflicts but we need to specificy how and the circumstances.
The Soviet union was losing most of the time in in World War II. Actually the only one by lucky winter in fact, in World War I, six soldiers, who were infected by the Spanish flu, still managed to beat Germany soldiers just saying.
No
And that's why America is the only superpower pretty much, Whatever comes our way the US will be at the forefront
World War II won by 24 million dead Soviet soldiers, you disrespectful dolt
And now...
And sadly we squandered this incredible historic victory...the US became insanely arrogant and now we are paying the price.
