Fun fact: After Yugoslavia fell apart, there was a rule/law that people of the former yugoslav countries would have to vote if they wanted to join any alliances/organization, and Montenegro officials on live TV said that they knew that the people would say no to NATO (because nato bombed them) but they would join anyways and not hold the vote
As a Montenegrin, I think joining Nato was best for us .
Imagine not wanting to be invaded and warcrimed by Russia.
Being forced to vote in bullshit elections when some bureaucrat, flanked by two soldiers, appears at your door.
Hard to imagine people want to resist that.
Imagiiiineeee
The narrator sure doesn't seem to understand your point Muskrat. He talks as if NATO is an aggressive Empire, like, for example, Russia and China.
@@tesha199 "Existing" is not provoking. Invading your neighbors and slaughtering entire towns, kidnapping children, etc , now THAT's provoking.
So defending border security from a so-called "defensive alliance" is a war crime?
I’d like to see the european allies to spend more on defence. We can’t always trust that the US will be the one we turn to. I am happy to be allied with the US, but we, as europeans must be able to protect ourselves from Russia without the help of the US.
EU governments are working on it. It just takes time to repair the damage done by 30 years of neglect. Tho it is already paying off. Artillery shell production estimates are at 1.4 million for 2024, and well over 2 million in 2025. The EU being this economic superpower helps a lot, luckily.
Good idea. US is not as powerful as it once was. A powerful Europe can help protect the Western world.
specially when our government can change stances completely with new presidents. I am always for NATO so it would be nice to make a long term agreement before the government changes.
I advise you to take riffle and go to fight in Ukraina , and then to think again about neonazi thing that you talking about
@@ravinraven6913 And especially especially when one of those potential new presidents are known to be virulently anti-NATO. It sucks to say as an American but we are completely untrustworthy on the international stage until Trump is no longer a threat to win the presidency. He's far too erratic and easily swayed into extreme action at almost whim and his whole outlook on foreign relations is one of absolute disdain for diplomacy and looking down on American allies as merely customers. America really is at it's most short-sighted and capricious under his leadership.
Im sure the members of the Warsaw pact all joined of their own free will.
Half of Europe joined Nazi Germany willingly
Quite, just like all the peoples joined the muscovite empire voluntarily.
The USSR's organization? No, the Red Army convinced them at gunpoint. Subsequently joining NATO? Yes, it was in no small part due to the memory of the Soviet Red Army's prior actions.
what do the words free will mean? they definitely joined :P but I don't think the last two words properly translate
Im sure Ukraine's pro west government was also by choice.
One thing about the Warsaw pact, no one joined it, it was just russia saying "now you're part of the Warsaw pact, congratulations, do not resist".
“We are here to liberate you, do not resist”
@@emilskukojs3783 These countries were chained by Russia many years prior to this pact. What changed was something more like "You are here to fight for my life, do not resist"
Everyone joined it, it was necessary to protect borders against NATO aggression.
Putin breathed life into NATO
I thought nato was outdated and should’ve been disbanded. Boy, Putin proved me wrong. My country, the US, spends more than the next few combined. I don’t think it’s enough anymore.
@@SaraphDarklaw yeah same, i thought that my country of Finland should stay out of NATO but after seeing the warcrimes and bombing of civilians my opinion switched to joining NATO asap
NATO will break up in next 5 years. Then we can all breathe freely.
@@KolonE 😂😂😂
@@KolonEIt's by design. This conflict ensures that most Europeans stay loyal to America. And most Russians to their government. Lots of male slavs are dead less threat to the Russian government. Cooperation and development of Europe is successfully severed, so there is no competition to American hegemony in Europe as well.
Serbia (Yugoslavia then) was bombed by NATO, killing 2000 people and getting billions of CIVILIAN infrastructure destroyed (far away from Kosovo conflict). That is the main reason people are against NATO there.
Bear in mind that NATO started bombing Yugoslavia when there were less than 1000 civilians killed (on both sides included) over 2 years of conflicts, where KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army) started the killings and was designated by terrorist organization by the USA.
Compare that to almost 40k dead in Gaza and 1 million displaced over 6 months. And Israel gets "rock solid" support and more weapons.
I wonder why did Yugoslavia/Serbia do to the nonSerb population for NATO to react to it
@@user-irj1nxa3cof2z KLA (albanian terrorist organization) started the killings against Serb police and civillians, then Yugoslav army in turn did it and it escalated. Similar to what happened in Gaza, but Israel gets support and weapons but Yugoslavia got bombed and territory illegally taken away

Yes, one positive thing has come out of the headless war in Ukraine - expansion of NATO. Could only have hoped that the expansion had taken place under more peaceful conditions. But then it probably wouldn't have happened.
It might be positive for NATO, but its also negative for countries that see them as a threat. Its all a matter of perspective
(IF) ,,Japan and Taiwan will eventually join NATO since authoritarian China is sending same signs as PUTIN?
@@excentrik5725 What countries see NATO as a threat? Any you name are likely autocracies who oppress political dissent.
@@excentrik5725NATO is there for its members. For outsiders there should be no impact unless your plan was to attack any member.
@@excentrik5725
NATO is purely defensive. Countries that belong to NATO may be a threat, but not NATO itself.
NATO is only a threat to countries like Russia because it makes aggressive wars difficult.
In history, Sweden has been in war against Russia 11 times... We certainly don't need another one... 🙄
Yes, we (Sweden and Finland) are small countries, but during the "neutral" era, both countries have built strong defenses according to our size. That means that we can contribute quite well, defending this corner of the world against anyone threatening our lifestyle, democracy and freedom.
The 20 something thousand troops of Sweden would be decimated in less than a day. Nazi Ukraine loses 100 thousand troops a week.
Putler be like: THIS DEFENSIVE COALITION IS THREATENING MOTHER RUSSIA WE ARE PEACEFUL *invades georgia then ukraine"!!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WhY eVeRyOnE hAtEs Us!?
If russian didnt react in georgia abhazua ukraine cecenia kazahtan russia will be suroundedby nato and isolated and colaps of russia. The only road to africa for russia will be ...... hahah its not easy to guess tanaaa iran . And if iran fall to wester hegemony that russia will be isolats and colaps .look the map where is serbia total surounded .thats will happen to russia, you are unware what nato do to serbia how much humaliation insane to the bone. Russia will stop wester hegemony and brics will win
remember obomber talked about Georgia and Ukraine entering nato. What was that 2008 and when did they enter georgia, 2008. Then Ukraine in 2014. remember having land occupied by someone else prevents Nato and EU membership.
@@brett76544 its every countrys own choice where they want to belong, not Russias.
@@brett76544 and you completly miss the point that its not up to ruZZia to dictate. If ruZZia wasnt a parasitic nation ( putin nmanyway) no-one would have felt the need to join NATO.
ruZZia very good at blaming everyone else
@@martonszerda so it is russian choice how to react on that
Japan, South Korea, Australia don't really need to be in NATO to have the protection of the major players in it. They are so integrated into the US game plan for China and North Korea being in NATO wouldn't be adding much other then they get a flag at the HQ.
They also do not touch the NORTH ATLANTIC, which is part of the name. Arguably, any country in Central or South America with an Atlantic Coast North of the Equator could be a member, including Guyana or Morocco.
QUAD(US, India, Japan, Australia) and the Trilateral(Japan, Philippines, US) was Washington's answer to China. Vietnam is the wildcard they would likely favor US as they loathe the CCP and newer generation of Vietnamese view the US more favorably in recent poll.
It also helps that the stronger members of NATO are already close allies with the Pacific nations so no doubt if China pushed her luck and tried expanding outwards beyond (or even including) Taiwan, France and the United Kingdom would soon be donating a few ships to that part of the world. May not be able to commit as much to the Far East as the United States can and would but two or three ships is far better than nothing at all!
It wouldn’t hurt them either
They could not deny Spain, it would not be logical.
Spain was a stable country in the sense it was doing good in economic terms, you can't do that if the situation is too bad.
Also their position helps to allow the closing and control the Straights of Gibraltar and makes logistics to Nato partner Portugal easy over land.
Also their plain power, that's hard to resist.

Great video. Small thing - Greenland is part of NATO as it is part of Denmark, as are the Faroe Islands.
You forgot to draw Greenland and the Faroe Islands as part of NATO. They joined together with Denmark. :)
It is hard to believe that Putin was surprised that Finland and then Sweden joined NATO. Since the end of the Cold War both countries have been partners to NATO, held exercises with NATO and formed a close military collaboration with each other. I think that Russia wanted to make the division between East and West clear for internal political reasons. Putin was afraid to loose his grip over Russia and wanted to unite the people against the West behind the Kremlin regime. For the same reason he started the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, to prevent Ukraine from joining EU and becoming more democratic and with a better living standard for its people. It could threaten his autocratic regime if the Russian people started to demand more democracy and closer ties to EU. The full-scale invasion of Ukraine was important for the decision of Finland and Sweden to join NATO, but mostly as a display of what the Kremlin regime actually was capable of. This process started already in 2021 when Russia decided to threaten its neighbours, and then broke the informal connections to the Finnish leadership.
Absolutely. Well said! Exactly what Putin was thinking, yet he miscalculated immensely. 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
He sees the West as weak and expects them to tremble with fear. He does not understand the West at all.
While NATO is being touted , it is the E.U that needs to get its act sorted on collective defence. Rationalizing defence needs and cutting overall spending costs, on so many nationals equipment , without compromising individual countries defence, is something to be seriously considered.
One the E.U. is an economic alliance.
2. They have experimented with a European army, it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
3. NATO fills the purpose better
@@marseldagistani1989 No it does not , the NATO alliance is far from that, it is the U.S doing the lifting and everyone else on a cheap ride under paying. If you knew what NATO countries positions where during the Cold war you would be worried also. The E.U is more than the common market , if you haven't learned that since Brexit you really are dumb.
Are you on drugs ?
"Montenegro needed NATO..."
Son there was Milo Djukanovic on power , communist and ex communist leader who was in power , from 1989, who was deep in criminal and coruption , and he was ideal puppet . NATO was bombing Montenegro , people were killed .Why in hell you seek security from somebody that attacked you ? That is like joining gang only for reason not to be bullied by same gang .
People of Montenegro loves russia , that goes back in time . Montenegro wouldnt existe without Russia . So NATO needed Montenegro, so Russia wouldnt put there ships in Montenegro . Basiclly it was occupied by NATO , without any referendum , against will of it people
cry about it
Very good video in describing what NATO really means to the common person regarding world stabilization.
NATO should just focus on defense rather than meddling with other matters. NATOs images as stabilizer of Europe was deeply tarnished in modern times.
@KSmifune Yet it is a stabilizer of Europe by its very existence. Only the US really does anything though because it's the only one powerful enough to do so.
@@KSmifuneNato was commonly seen as obsolete RIGHT up till 2022. Despite the actions in Crimea and the dombas, Georgia etc, it was the full scale invasion that got everyone on board with NATO.
Nato is focused on defense. All the countries who have joined don't want to be invaded.

What an outstanding video ! Thank you so much !
21:00 i think you misplaced lichtenstein a tiny bitt :D
It's not that Austria is just remaining neutral, they also have a treaty with Russia back when they were the USSR to stay neutral. A treaty they're still upholding.
You know things going bad when country that was neutral for decades join alliance
*centuries
*neutral
Yep, Sweden and Finland are the two most advanced militaries in Europe.
They were never really 'neutral', only West aligned while at the same time trying to not provoke Russians. Sweden has had defence pact with USA since Cold war, I believe, in case Soviets started advancing again.
Deccades? 210+ years...
The heading of this presentation should've been "How NATO grew after 1991".
Hello. Well made graphics and an informative video. Thank you.
Being in the Alliance is useless if most of these European countries don't want to spend money, enlist, or fight.
That was the whole issue President Trump was pointing out. I believe one of the NATO requirements was a minimum 5% of the countries gdp had to be devoted to military spending. At the time he pointed that out, some countries had been as low as 1% of their gdp. This is why he accused them of not paying their fair share and relying on us (USA) to continuing footing the bill.
@@ericlondono4251its 2% of the GDP, and some of the smaller countries couldnt afford that after covid. But now both Sweden and Finland have joined, two of the richest countries in Europe with their own sub and fighter jet production. 💪💥
Not most, some. Most are spending 2% gdp on defence now.
Why did you put Liechtenstein to Stuttgart?
Good video with a huge omission: What about Bosnia and Herzegovina? Yes, it is a small country, but it fulfilled all the requirements for NATO membership, except internal verbal obstruction by Bosnian Serbs. Serbia has been correctly mentioned that it disqualified itself by the "observer status" in the Russian version of NATO. However, Serbia and Bosnian Serb population are strongly AGAINS NATO, and very much PRO-PUTIN and Russophilic. It poses an existential threat to NATO security. Why? Imagine that Putin installs his military bases in Serbia and Bosnian territory under Bosnian Serb control... Measure the distance to the main capital cities in Europe from Banja Luka... Btw, Bosnian Presidency already approved Bosnian membership in NATO, the Parliament adopted the Defense Law which clearly states that Bosnia will be a NATO and EU member.
I live in Serbia, I am of Serb ethnicity but I hate Putin and his regime.
Bosnian Serbs have veto power.
They are against NATO because NATO attacked them in 1994 and 1995.
Armenia has recently left CSTO
The door in the north was hardly an open one. The Nordic countries have an agreement ( NORDEFCO ), that would then quickly include 2 NATO countries, being Denmark and Norway, who would come to aid.
This video mentions fascism in Germany running throughout Europe but fails to mention fascism in Mucellini's Italy.
Noticed that too
Or the fact that Franco's Spain was also Fascist, yet refused to join the Axis.
It is because Italian food is so good we collectively have decided to forgive Italy and give all blame to Germany.

You need somebody who knows about historical maps, and is aware of the timeline when did certain countries separate or unite.
"looked to be stoking tension" implies they were being intentionally provocative. Some might see this as a political slant. Just saying
the only real battle in the abstract is between statism and individual freedom.
Everithing is fine and dandy, but everyone fails to mention population No of nordic countries. They dont pose significant threat to Russians, its only their lands that are big. Beside, Russian navy could cause sirious damage to their marine infrastructure.
21:09 seems the video completely forgot one country: Bosnia-Herzegovina. Serbia and Kosovo were mentioned, even the Vatican but not this Balkan country? or did I miss it? 🤔

@@alexm.h.8270 and made a spelling mistake which you promptly took up.^^
@@embreis2257 ups :)
The easiest question to answer. They needed security against the Soviet Union. They still need security from the Russian Federation.
Not really. Maybe the tiny countries, but Russia is struggling against a Ukraine, who has no real air force or navy and a very limited production ability, in open land that favors Russia, and despite a huge numerical and equipmemt advantage. There's no way Russia would win against a decently sized NATO member with a modern military.
Putin did more then get Sweden and Finland to join. many governments and citizens questioned the point of NATO. The chance of a major conflict in Europe seemed near zero, and the need for such an alliance was questioned. When Russia attatcked Ukraine, it showed not only is another conflict in Europe a possibility, it got governemntes to increase spending and unified citiziens across political spectrums of the need to have NATO
Australia should be able to join though imo, they helped the world in many ways too🤷🏼♂️

We Swedes seem to be the most proud of our Russophobia, we do really mean it.
Not a very good reason for pride, because Russophobia is not only hatred towards the Russian government, but often also towards the Russian people. This is especially strange to hear from a Swede, because thanks to the Swedish policy of neutrality, at least from the 1950s to 2014, relations between the USSR (Russia) and Sweden were the most successful in their entire history, especially in economic terms, for both sides. Yes, there were incidents with submarines swimming into territorial waters, but there are not even theoretical threats for Sweden.
Hard to forget Poltava, i bet.
They also call Russia Mordor these days.
Don't think it's russophobia. More like russorealism.

By the way, Vatican is a 'Church State', if that's a good name for it. For me it's not a country per se as the others. I would consider Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Lichtenstein under NATO Protectorate Clause that could be included in Article 5. Or the same type of clause be activated or if not already in existence of the countries' territories in which those four are be written.
Pretty sure they have overlapping military alliances with individual members

Great video, it was very informative about history of forming NATO, I really enjoyed it
1:59: _"lay their differences aside"_ ... _"in a war with Russia or Germany"_ - a very important *_correction_* here: the correct phrasing should be "in a war with the Soviet Union or Germany."_ Despite Russia being the legal successor of the Soviet Union, it was an entirely different type of ideological state: a quasi-religious faith-based internationalist system alleging the power of the workers, whose intentions was to cause revolution wars worldwide and take over all power. A bloody terror state for sure, but not an ordinary kind of dictators-ship where all power belongs to one man. Ukraine, Russia and other states were part of this ideological monster, but very different from Putin's revival of the Russian Empire where everybody is slave under the dictator. It was far more dangerous at that time.

Imagine voting on NATO membership...
Ukraine was ready to promise to not join NATO if just Russia would not invade but Putin did not listen, so that invasion has nothing to do with NATO, just Putin wanting to expand his country like his idols of World War 2.
Also important to remember that Russia promised in written agreements never to invade Ukraine if they removed their nukes (which they did). And, NATO/US never promised not to expand eastwards, that specific discussion with Gorbatjov & James Baker was regarding not having Warsaw pact and Nato membership at the same time in the same country, which is something completely different.
false, false, false, minsk agreement were never respected, also in 2014 they changed the constitution and prior 2014 ukrainian constitution obliged ukraine to be neutral go look and if you remember since 2008 nato and ukraine looking for nato, especially western assets in ukraine and even made a coup.
@@user-kb2ww8mk8o No, no, no, Russia broke the Budapest Memorandum with the 2014 invasion of Donbas and Crimea. And then on 22 February 2022, Putin declared that the Minsk agreements "no longer existed", and launched the full scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022.
And then it was Russia that first broke the Minsk agreements by the second battle at Donetsk airport. Again, they break their promises, time after time.
Of course Ukraine wanted to scare Russia from doing a full scale invasion (the countries was at war already from 2014) but Zelensky is clear he is not pushing for it or thinks it is possible in short time.

It's kinda true but has nothing to do with Putin personally, most Serbs feel deep connection to Russia as a country for many factors.
Cultural, Historical and we see Russians as brotherly nation.
Also Serbia is not in NATO and hopefully never will be because they illegally bombed us (not all NATO countries), took peace of our historical territory , gave local Albanians free hand to do what they want there and actively working to integrate it into NATO.
Serbia is not super powerful country but we do have our army in good shape and entering this kind of alliance that is just geopolitical scheme with no real combat value is not really wise.
Being neutral should be ok.
First of all that land was always Albanian land . Second , Yugoslav leaders were doing some horrible stuff to the NonSerb population and that’s what got NATO to react to it . Third the earliest record of Serbs being in the Balkans dates back to 7th century when Romans documented the Slavic migration to Balkans. So in the ancient times the “Balkans” were called Illyrian peninsula which means that Albanians are natives , the descendants of Illyrians. When the Slavs arrived in the region, Romans invaded both the Illyrian and the Slavs

CSTO is no "NATO equivalent" whatsoever. At best, if it worked at all, it'd be "NATO analog".
The photo representing Estonia is from Riga, Latvia, lol...
Funny that mighty Luxembourg was one of the founding members😊
On a less important but more geeky note; NATO is not covering Europe as an area, but the northern hemisphere. It is limited to north of the "Northern Tropic" (tropic of cancer) which includes US and Canada.
From Wikipedia:
"NATO has thirty-two members, mostly in Europe with two in North America. Some of these countries also have territory on other continents, which is covered by the security agreements only as far south as the Tropic of Cancer, which together with the Atlantic Ocean defines NATO's "area of responsibility" under Article 6 of the North Atlantic Treaty."
Doesn’t include Hawaii and Guam.
this is also the reason that Article 5 couldn't be activated when the UK went to war with Argentina over the Falklands
So basically Russia is but hurt he wasn't invited in the gang so there his villain ark😂😂😂
Neutrality is just a joke and mostly just countries benefiting from their geography and the belief they would be defended by others. Especially Austria haha.
Well, to be fair, after WW2, Austria was caught between the Soviet Red Army and the Western Allies. They got both sides to end the occupation by promising to not just remain neutral, but also be the location for both sides to meet and negotiate.
@@davidford3115 Austria had such good PR that everybody forgot they were equally responsible for WWII and painter was from there. Another thing that they were one of the Western countries which expelled Soviets citizens by under the order of Stalin and provisions of the Yalta Treaty. A lot of people killed them selves not to be sent to that horror that awaited them. Many killed, tortured, most sent to gulags... Especially the fate of the "White Russians" was known.
@@quandmeme9970 And people forget that Stalin was a Georgian. Are we to blame that country for the horrors of the USSR? Blaming Vienna for the crimes of the German Chancellor is just as intellectually dishonest.
@@davidford3115 Hitler had the support of the vast majority of Austrians. In the same way, a mass of Austrians manned the death camps... Many prisoners later spoke of the exceptional cruelty of the Austrians. Or do you know names like Eichamann, Goeth, Stangl, Kaltenbrunner, Globocnik? The Germans have somehow come to terms with the past, the Austrian conscience is still burdened. In the same way, now it is not a war between Putin and the Kremlin, but the Russian people support Putin and the invasion and want to rebuild the empire.
The analysis is weak and superficial, the conclusion is questionable to say the least
When you know what N.A.T.O stand for. I wonder why Turkis are in nato. They are not even close to the north sea/coast. Its a Europa thing, not a Turkis problem. And i dont think we need nato anymore. Its waste of our money. Until now nato have only doing aggressiv attack wars, not defence war.
