France, Germany and Poland: A New Alliance Against Russia
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 03. 2024
- Macron, Scholtz and Tusk have announced a new alliance designed to prevent Russian victory. Behind the facade of unity, there are long historical animocities, past misdeeds, deportations, massacres, and distrust. Here I discuss official policy against the background of popular attitudes, views of Germany in France and in Poland, the ways the Germans perceive their neigbors and the way the Russians see the French, the Germans and the Poles, as well as animocities between the Poles and Ukrainians.
Dr.Brovkin is an American historian, now retired, born in the Soviet Union and educated at Georgetown and Princeton, an emigrant who became a Harvard Professor of Soviet History, the author of many books on the history of Russia, the latest being: From Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin: Russia in Search of Of Its Identity 1913 - 2023. All his books are available on Amazon books.
How come Putin was the only one to call for negotiations in this senseless, stupid waste of human life?
He is the only leader who understands suffering.
Nato is the team of dacoity organization
Russia did not start that war they don't want Ukraine but the usa/ cia started the war to destroy Russia economy but it back fired ! Russia is doing great and the usa is going broke!
The other guyz are fanatical dumbshirtz.
This is a Oil War
Its against Western Profits to make Peace
Putin is to naive.
He belives stupid false notrious Liars will be reasonable
The world is getting sick of these non stop trouble makers,including full NATO.
thank you for your comment
smartest russian bot blaming nato for the war which you caused 😂
There is inly one troublemaker in europe who invades his neighbours, hugs with Taliban, hamas and Iran and threatens to launch nukes. And this isn't NATO. Everyone praising Putin i invite you to live in Russia

Hello Vladimirr.
I am an australian citizen but born in Europe of Dutch, german and maybe a bit of Hungarian background, I have visted Europe on and off and found exactly of what you described in your Realpolitik video.
My daughter lives in France and on a visit we interacted with her French friends, I have a broad Australian accent so all was very friendly until one of my young grandsons called me Opa, this happened on a number of different occasions, I asked a Dutch friend about this antagonism between europeans, she replied it is a fact of life and it will never disappear, I made the mistake twice, of mistaking the polish accent for being Russian (you would think I would learn after the first time) the hostility directed against me was palpable.
The good thing is Russia is standing up for herself and by extension for the global South who sees Putin and Russia as their champion and a chance for sovereignty.
best wishes.
Where's your ball and chain?
@MC … whatever :
It appears your imbecility & stupidity go hand in hand together!
However …
Dear Dutch Aussie, we lived for 5 years in Down Under, our son lives in The Blue Mountains. A fortnight ago my wife and I returned to France, where we live, after 3 months staying with our son. We are Dutch. I agree with you!
""Russia as their champion and a chance for sovereignty" - tell it to Chechen, Georgian, Czech, Romanian, Polish, Hungar or Austrian. And last two years to Ukraina peolpe "Russia as a chance for sovereignty" More people will be surprise, cause Russia was mostly oppresor to them long, long years!
Most of Poles DO NOT hate Russians. They’re our brothers. We share the same DNA, we are Slavic.
Today’s Russophobia was created by media, it’s been progressing since 1989 to manufacture consent for future war Anglo Saxons have been planning against Russia. 30% of the nation fell for it. You can’t even imagine the level of propaganda and historical revisionism taking place in Eastern Europe. Do not put the rest, normal Poles, so 70% in the same bag with those easily manipulated and poorly informed minority. Loud minority but it’s still a minority. I’m a Polish Russian and I grew up in Poland, so I can assure you that I never experienced anything like hatred while speaking Russian being out and about and I lived in Warsaw and spent every weekend at my grandma’s place in a masovian village quite far from the big city.
Polish government ≠ Polish people and that’s not even me saying that, that’s what president Łukaszenka says all the time.
I’ve noticed now The dehumanization of Poles, so when the government pushes people into this war, nobody will feel bad for them. Stop spreading this made up madness; it really doesn’t help, Poles living in the west (like me now) now experience a lot of bs, because of alleged Russophobia. I was called out on it and that person was really sure of himself, not knowing one bit about Slavic brotherhood, shared culture and customs. I responded that actually I AM RUSSIAN as well. They didn’t know what to say and finally apologized.
Stop generalizing PLEASE.
Surprisingly, the most russophobes indeed live in the west, but they hate Germany, Ukraine, Lithuania and themselves, because they have always been marginalized and used as cheap labor. They’re also not that big in numbers. It’s also caused by huge competition in finding a well paid job. This issue is not as easy as it seems and I’m really saddened when people try to pour more gasoline on this already huge media and c*i*a* created drama.
Not only Germans are memorable for their WWII time feats. Romania is remembered in Ukraine and Crimea for that as well.
especially in Odessa
Whenever people talk about that, and WWII in general, they forget to mention how scared people were of the soviets and the "freedom revolution" that were "liberating" the people. It always starts with the rise of the far right in the retelling. Not even sure if you are being ironic or not, it basically depends on who's propaganda you believe. @@vladimirbrovkin4052
@@vladimirbrovkin4052Oh yeah, a system where if your last name is not Putin you can't be president and steal money from the treasury and sends soldier to slaughter like in Ukraine, is better. And treats its neighbors like potted plants,bombed,just there to beautify Russia.Thats for sure.
What about the Baltics.
And yet the people of ukraine and especially Odessa worship the aryans as a superior race.
For what? To die together? They forgot Russia have also Iran North Corea and Chine?
Nah Russia can take all three of them, no problem. None of their armies are currently capable of defeating Russia
..and if push comes to shove most of Afrique and the Arab world including Turks
@@izajahmed8863Russia is invincible, but wait: the plan was never to beat Russia in the first place. The American plan was to attrition Russia and bleed their economy into weakness all the way using Ukis as cannon fodder, then adding more poles into the meat grinder. Then France never understand anything and they will spoil the whole thing.
Russia doesnt have China XD China doesnt have allies. You have no idea what you are talking about. Even recently chinese banks stopped serve Russian customers. 😂 China wants Siberia. They will wait for best moment.
@@izajahmed8863 Only with the help of the USA, but they only want Europe fighting with Russia while they watch.
A wonderful lesson for those who know nothing of historical facts, which is majority in the WEST!
Thank you Dr.Brovkin🙏
This is Russian view propaganda. Bandera as a Polish hero -really? Half of the belarus was a Poland not a occupied state. There was no Belarus before 1991. My famyli lived there for centuries. Now i live in Gdansk and bekive me no one in Poland want to change that. It is over. And it is Moskovia which is doing mess in Europe now. Who pledged to Ukraine ihat they borders will be safe after resigning from nuclear wepons?
Alliance of three stooges ..
he twisted the history on purpose, do not listen to him he "forgot" to tell you that Stalin took big portion of Poland in 1945 and made it part of USSR
Thank you mr. Brovkin. Always happy to watch your videos.
Wonderful to listen to recent history...pity no Americans will understand.
I do...and there are others. It's people in our government that either don't or care not to.

No it doesn't.3.4% fiber optic coverage,and cashierless checkouts(which we've had in America,UK,etc for over twenty years Germany are promoting as new tech(maybe for those who come from eastern europe or other developing nations its high tech but for western nation not) I´ve lived in Germany and their tech is years behind even Polands(since getting billion from EU)and cannot even touch Turkeys advances in engineering and tech,medicine(Turkey has built two modern Airports and Bridges and the Berlin airports isnt even finished or up to standards for a modern airport).From wire card to Postbank software problems to other apps not working,Germany from VW to SAP have been caught bribing rating agencies,game developers etc for good press,ratings etc etc.Its the same way America and Germany pay to play when it comes to government ran or financed NGOs,institutions who always managed to criticize all but their pay masters.
well the "high standard and productivity of germany" is going down the tubes isn't it? because of no cheap russian energy. So what's the future for France then in light of that?
No enriched uranium from Russia - France closes down
Bleak. They wish take could take over, but they cannot. They're self-sufficient with energy from their nuclear power plants and that's about it. German economy going down means a recession in France just as well. Another curious thing is after Brexit, plenty of financial houses moved their headquarters from the City to the EU. Paris was one of the potential favourite destinations, but the French couldn't pull it off. Paris taking over London City would have been a coup in finance! It would be interesting to see the exact numbers how the financial emigres dispersed into Europe, but from what I know, some went to Frankfurt, others to Brussels and Amsterdam.
The propaganda of high standards Germany product is in large supported by cheap Russian energy and cheep Chinese technology. Both things have vanished so, there is a very dark future for Europe and specially Germany
This is the best commentary on the political situation in central Europe. I am an Indian living in Germany since over 50 yrs. I was a poltical science student. So I, too, follow the politics of Germany. I agree, very few Germans go to France for vacation and very few French vacation in Germany. Also the Germans I talk to look down at the French. But respectfully!!
good observation
All the EU countries (and the UK too) are rapidly declining in geopolitical influence and economic power. Europe is increasingly just a colonial outpost of the US. Basically, the colonisers of the recent past are rapidly becoming the colonised themselves. This has affected the entire European outlook on the world. They harbour bitter resentment against rapidly rising countries like China and India who they had dominated within the last 100 years. They resent their current status, and resent even more there is little they can do about it. Europeans look down on the rest of the world and also look down on each other. It is a complex situation brought on by its own decline, and the complete lack of any foresight by their elite to reverse the tide. To stem the decline would actually require Europe to drag itself by its own feet, quit being slavish colonies of the US, and start rebuilding economically and start asserting its independent geopolitical interests (which are very different from those of the US). But they are unwilling to do any of these things.
Namaste. You picked wrong stuff to educate about history of Europe , just check how Poland was presented here and compare of map of Europe from 1000 CE . Do you see any Germans there ? Look at the borders closely and try use history based on facts which are missing in this video
@@WitcherDADThe map of many countries would look very differently if you back a 1000 years. Many states did not even exist then.
@@pineapplesareyummy6352 - difficult to either disagree with your assertion or believe the onslaught of cultural change and mass immigration in Western Europe has not been orchestrated
Also difficult to envisage any "slavish colonies of the US reversing the decline" while they remain slavish colonies of the EU elite, owning nothing and being happy seems to be the preferred option for most of the electorate
Germany has committed economic and cultural suicide, the EU is a few yrs from finished and any pact between France, Poland and Germany against Russia would not be so much an alliance as a suicide pact.

Welcome aboard!
Congrats! You have subscribed to listen to biased interpretation of history. This guy spreads Putin's version of history , which is a lie.
You escalate this war, people will suffer greatly. Governments are suppose to offer order, not death.
The US and UK still feel they are sitting safely behind their ocean moats and can move other countries around to fight their wars for them. The American experience of war is fundamentally different from the Russian one, or even the German one (but Germany is more or less an American vassal state, eighty years after WW2)
Governments are manipulated, by those who always profit and gain power, mostly clandestinely.
@@louise_rose Why is the US war experience different from the Russian one?
@@panxd26 Because geography (and a measure of geopolitical superiority) protects the US from military invasions. No part of the regular US homeland (the 48 states at the time) was invaded, or even risked invasion, during WW1 or WW2 - Hawaii was still a colony of sorts in 1941, not a full part of the US, and tere were no Japanese landings, just a wave of bombings. Not a single US city or factory district was bombed, occupied or exposed to artillery fire. The US hasn't been exposed to a regular war within its borders since the Civil War 160 years ago. When the US joined WW2 in 1941, they had the option to wait with launching any offensives across the Atlantic until they felt they were ready and had built up enough armament, ships and supplies.
The Russian experience was opposite on all those accounts...sorry I can't be bothered to delve deeper into explaining what it meant. (no, I'm not Russian myself, I'm from Scandinavia)
Tak, putin szykuje się do ataku na Europę.. Rosja od lizbony po alaske. To cel putina.

If you want to learn about politics of Eastern Europe you should listen to the lecturers of Dr. Snyder.

Dr. Snyder is an American and therefore he is objective in his view of European history.

There's also the issue of the British and French trying to get Ukraine to secure Crimea. Remember 1854-1856 Crimean War when the Anglo-French forces killed thousands of Crimean/Russian citizens especially at Sevastopol?

that "history" is disgusting , lies about Polish land "given" by Stalin from Germany while in fact this land occupied by Prussians for centuries is a fucking joke.

So, tell me how was your "so-called help" promised by British to Poles before war started?

I was in Berlin in Dec89 when the Wall was coming down. What an exciting time! We met kids from all over Eastern Europe and we drank and smoked in cafes and talked about art and the future. We had decided that the only people worried were the Joint Chiefs at the Pentagon and that Thatcher woman... that aside,
During this thaw, there was a move for Germany to reunify. Helmet Kohl took the Initiative. It all seemed to happen over night. The 4 power pact that presided over Germany at the end of WW2 was still in effect. Russia still had veto power and could have stopped the reunification of Germany, It didn't use its veto. In 2923, I thought about this when Germany was sending tanks and arms to Ukraine.... What must the Russians think?
Poland is a different story. Poland would have considerable bitterness towards both Germany and Russia. It was if the entire Polish nation had been moved 200 miles to the West in an accumulations of German territories. German citizens had been expelled. . .The status of the lands had to be legitimized by treaty before the reunification could take place. As for the Eastern parts of Poland taken by Russia, they were attached to Ukraine. Poland still has a valid claim to these territories.
A great oppotunity to unite europe was missed. Responsible are those whowanted to unify europe as a part of nato
What I like about this channel is the fact that it brings up a lot of nuanced details of events of the past and the intricacies of international relations, every program I learn something new, thank you!

These three countries, despite their mutual hatred, have joined hands against Russia on the principle of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". These are very callous people who periodically invent mechanism to keep Ukraine in the war till the last Ukrainian.

Interesting analisys. This gentleman touchs human sentiments, humors, the real stuff in human interactions.
I like those maps, photos too.
Very interesting video, but I have an alternate theory about one point you mentioned. You suggest that the bourgeoisie in Germany want cheap energy, but in any bourgeois democracy like Germany or the US, the national policy tends to already represent the will of the bourgeoisie. Why is it then that German policy favors US interests in Ukraine? Is the German ruling class spiting their bourgeoisie? No: the German bourgeoisie are part of an international capitalist class and they are already moving their factories to other countries. Why, then, did German leaders originally work so hard to create a German dependence on cheap energy from Russia at the risk of German national interest? Because this is how they appeased their bourgeoisie in the short term, but now that the gig is up capital is fleeing Germany and the average German citizen is left holding the bag after the rich profited for years.

With all that said, the abiding dislike/suspicions of Frane with Germany and vice versa, the historical memories of the Poles toward Germany and Ukraine……. would it make sense for the US to withdraw from NATO? Afterall, it’s happened TWICE where the US ended up in Europe fighting and dying for European interests. And where does the UK fit in all of this?
We should declare neutral like we should have done in 1914 when France allied with Russia against Germany and Poland fought on both sides at the same time.
Not that it will make much difference with the fallout from the Russian nukes.
Thanks to Putin's leadership the United Russia Party now has the necessary political numbers, nous and military productive capacity to do whatever it deems necessary to defend Russia's state borders, people and sovereignty. Neither NATO nor the EU are capable of diminishing either of these geopolitical and military facts. Apart from the two viable opposition parties ie; the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and 'A Just Party - For Truth'; there is a minuscule number of street protester types (less that 2% of the population) who are either pro Western pro Navalny liberal activists, or they are the relatively extreme Russian nationalist types who actually think Putin is too soft on the West.

@@vladimirbrovkin4052 And I think you do very well. I don't know how you measure up to your own aspirations but from here you do wonderfully well. And because, as I said, you speak of People.
No one else does, sadly.
In all the earnest, profound and scholarly discussions nation names: Russia, France, England, Germany, etc. all turn out to mean when you look at what they're talking about, who did what they say the did or will, govts, or claques. Not the people.
They carry this nonsense so far that they make scholarly predictions of what these nations MUST do because of their history and their 'essence' etc,, etc..
All of which the populace are largely unconscious of.
Or when they are conscious of it they certainly don't mean it to go as far as for instance what is happening now in Ukraine or Israel. Do Kiev Ukrainian people want half a million of them to die for the sake of ethnic cleansing of Donbas in order to build a brave new Ukraine? I think not. Do ordinary working Israelis want babies and children etc. crushed to death, blown to pieces in order that they might 'teach the Palestinians a lesson' ? I think not.
To me the missing thing is the voice of the people.
The machinery is in place: democracy. Imperfect as that machine is still it can be used to good purpose.
But the people never could. Too difficult, in truth, and insufficient interest and honestly not enough information.
Now is 2024. All those constraints are gone. Or on the very edge of being gone.
Let 'digital democracy' or 'popular democracy' or 'online democracy' appear and suddenly we're up and running.
I really hope you see what I mean and see the merit in it:

Now that Germany is severely weaken economically, diplomatically and internal politics is a mess... it would be interesting to see if EU experiment breaks up .
that has been the playbook of the British from the start, I do not understand that so many Experts do not see beyond their nose...BREXIT is the elephant in the room that nobody is seeing.......how Johnson stopped the Peace talks and are the drivers of more and more war, which is breaking the economies and social harmony among EU states...this has been their plan......they are suffering Brexit, they cannot go back to the EU as their people have demanded to leave...so they need the union to collapse and create a new union where they can be the top dog.
No, it will take a lot more than disastrous political mismanagement by the Germans to totally destroy the European Union. You write like an English Brexiteer who predicted the collapse of the EU donkey's years ago when it was the European Coal and Steel Treaty. ha! ha! Glad to see the back of the malcontents.
God willing! Amen
Cheers from Australia
