This is taking war profiteering to a whole new level. I'm honestly impressed. This might be the most morbid form of capitalism I've ever seen.
Pure fantasy! This is just globalist, uniparty, wef properganda, pure and simple!

Congrats, GTBT, one of the few pertinent and realistic analysis I have seen on YT... Unfortunately, the main-stream media is more and more disappointing on this matter, it became just instrument of propaganda, on both sides that is... While I do not agree in some points, I must say: Keep up the good work! 👍
14:01 As a resident of Russia, I can say that teenagers are more influenced by social networks. And Putin, politics and war, they don't care
_“Let not anyone pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”_ -John Stuart Mill (1867)
They will care
Please excuse my mental blackout at 11:35. The right numbers are on the screen :)
You may wish to edit this into the top of your already pinned comment instead - I imagine this comment getting buried easily.
It's disappointing to see the West so divided on something that is obviously in its best interest.
russia purchased entire states like Austria, Hungary or Serbia
@@arthurtrommel1438you are 💯%wrong.
I'm all for US tax dollars going to help ukraine but the European don't even care even when it's RIGHT on their doorstep, it's hard to support it.
@@xeevang1023how Europeans don't care? EU have given more money to Ukraine than USA.
@xeevang1023 because we know its not a real threat.
Why the EU keeps up with Orban is beyond me.Article 7 of the treaty of the European Union gives member states the possibility to suspend certain rights of membership. Or with a qualified majority they can put more sanctions on Hungary. Orban is never going to leave the EU, he's the thorn in the side of the EU... . The current model of the European Union where certain decisions depend on unanimous voting doesn't work anymore. Europe will never grow if a few states can block the majority.
Yep, thats why they are reforming it. Probably the results will come to a fruituition in 2025. (which is late, but hey Eu was never built for power projection)
The EU should hardly have any power at all besides economic standardization and the streamlining of trade. Cultural exchanges, migration, etc. should be up to each country. Good for Hungary
you are right the EU should be economic only @@karlisulmanis3810
Some would say, its not exactly a good idea, that when you are prepping for a war, your main concern is how to kill your industry with environmentally friendly BS, and your first concern shouldnt be how to sanction your allies.
Because then Hungary, Slovakia and maybe later Bulgaria will join Russia and EU will become weaker
Can you do a video about Romania & Moldova's geopolitical situation in all of this?
For Moldova everything is very simple. Should Ukraine lose the war either Moldova will be captured (in case of direct Russian control over Odesa) or pro-Russian regime (in case of indirect control over Odesa) will be installed there. This is absolutely inevitable in case of Ukraine´s defeat.
Romania is in NATO. Russia is much more interested in Baltic States. Unless Moldova joins Romania the latter will not be invaded.
Could they ever reunite?
@@thematthew761 of course they could, will they? maybe???

@@Anton_DanylchenkoRussia will push how strong the Rumanian and Moldovan relationship is since if they do join their government will upheld and their sovereignty will be respected but Russia would only deal with the Moldovan government. Just how USA promised to protect Ukraine but the global environment doesn't allow America too focus on one opponent.
However, this is only if Russia really wants land to expand.
Throughout the war we have seen this not to be the case. The issue in Ukraine and Russia is personal Russia will not cause what it doesn't. It for sure doesn't want more wars than it has and so far the International Commitment to Ukraine has failed which was the real test, where countries going to run in and protect Ukraine or where they gonna stand and watch??
Russia doesnt know the case for anyone else. They know if Poland or the Baltic countries get involved they will infact have direct NATO help,... Under American suggestion though i wonder how many european countries would give their soldiers and not tell america to give theirs.
Basically the Zelensky speeches that Russia will be marching in Germany if they don't help Ukraine are wrong, Russia is filling the gaps that NATO hasn't around its borders.
Maybe in the future we can have a united Slavic force against Russia? For now, i can't see Russia involving themselves with a NATO vs Russian World War 3 that you guys imagine. This war is personal and individual. you are wasting your time imagining countries running and fighting Russia. they are strategically moving with politics so if they get in another conflict. It will have to be forces by NATO
I am from Baltics and I am seriously not even considering that Russia will have a good time anymore if they attack us. We are all in same boat as Poland and Finland and due to that we all will fight now as do Ukrainians. Because we already have fought against it all for too long it's Russian imperialism that has made us either give up on ourselves or die anyway so what difference it would make?
Two of the three Baltic 'nations' didn't even exist when Russia took over the area from Sweden. The third, Lithuania was a habitual aggressor against Russian lands which was eventually put in its place
@@mitchyoung93 abolutely!
In fact, identities of these 2 of 3 "nations" were created artificially in opposition to the strong identity of the Baltic Germans, so that Germany could not shake the stability in the region. As for Lithuania, it was only called that, the Principality of Lithuania was inhabited by Orthodox Russians, wrote, spoke and kept documentation in Russian, at one time laid claim to the unification of Russia instead of Moscow, and then had two options: either to be absorbed by Russia under the rule of Moscow, or unite with Poland and lose its influence as a strong state. However, even despite the fact that Lithuania created a union with Poland, it was soon absorbed by Russia.
History is cyclical, think about it.

The problem with the US getting away from global order is that A LOT of countries will seek to build nuclear weapons to protect themselves from countries like russia. Even ukraine will seek them once it is clear that support is not enough.
you mean like many countries allready do for 10 to 15 now so they can protect themselves from the USA and their democracy. How blind or stupi or full of hatered one has to be not wanting to see and not wanting to comprehend how the usa and nato have in so many cases destroyed lives and homes of at least 20 milion innocent people all arround the world. Yes bau russia, aaahahah, remember how they wanted to take konstantinopol 300 years ago, that is important, those.monsters. It is nit of any relevance that izrael in only 2 minths killed twice as many civilians ad russia did in ukraine in 2 years.

I think its a great exagerration that Ukraine was given significant equipment for the 2023 counter offensive
Nah, they were given adequate equipment. But as always, waay too late. The Russians have had 6 months time to bury mines all over the frontline, while Europe and USA were still thinking about whether they should give Ukraine 2 or 3 tanks. Also everything was thwarted when the Russians blew up the Nova-Kakhova dam. At the moment Orban is too busy taking bribes from bawdy Russians and blocking the European Union and Nato
Yeah, all world sent to ukraine is old crap and some rockets... I mean thats not surprising, but more could have been sent. I still don't get why everybody is so reluctant to help. When Russia gets Ukraine and will continue further, it'll be much worse for everyone. Why not help Ukrainian so that does not happen?

This video seems to have been rushed and goes against like 80% of mostly unbiased (or at least informative) sources on the war.
its made by one of those brainwashed polish boys
The copium is seeping out
it's propaganda for idiots
@@mabeSc What-pray-tell-are “unbiased sources”? Kremlin propaganda?!?
One unexpected effect of semi-war-time economy is increased demand for factory workers, which actually helps distributing more wealth among broader group of people. The same things with soldiers from undeveloped parts of Russia, where usual salary is somewhere between $200 and $300 they and they are making 10x of that.
Not sure what propganda ur listening to, but its funny :D
You actually think russians get 200-300$ salaries ? there's even videos about some rural areas and backwaters of russia.. in random places where people salary is 800-1000$ , yet cost of living is quiet low compared to eu and us, what food costs and rents...
@@Microphunktv-jb3kjyes of course, its all NATO propaganda. In reality Russians are even richer than most of europeans and the reason russians kill in Ukraine is that Europe wants to steal russian wealth 😂😂
@@Microphunktv-jb3kj lmao your propaganda is even funnier. Salaries of 1000$ are relevant only in Moscow, big cites and oil gas regions, the majority of Russians get much less than that. Don't take your information on some random videos just ask any Russian who actually lives/lived there, even Russian government-controlled statical office clearly states the average salaries which are closer to 300$ for most regions. And yes it is true that the poorer the regions the more soldiers are conscripted from there and the reason is ofc very low salaries.
@@Microphunktv-jb3kjYe Russians are super rich, that's why they all look like homeless people would look in most of West countries and they drive their 30 years old Lada, because they like it, but they could easily afford BMW.
Лол, солдаты уже давно зарабатывали 500-700 баксов, с учётом казённого жилья, льгот для детей и семьи и выходом на пенсию лет в 45 - это лофа. Да и когда вы говорите про 200-300 долларов, поймите, что безлимитный интернет я могу легко взять за 9 баксов в месяц для телефона и компа, за квартиру у меня уйдёт 20 баксов, без ограничений в горячей воде и электричестве. Это лучше, чем получать 2500 баксов в месяц и тратить 1000 на аренду и 500 на интернет) А вообще, 200-300 баксов получают молодые специалисты или жители мелких городов, а ещё есть тема с МРОТ, когда тебе выплачивают минималку - 160, а остальное идёт без записи. Так что читайте что-то кроме BBC, вы думаете, что русская пропаганда убога, но западная смело стучится со дна. Что говорить, если ваши эксперты за 200 лет не поняли разницы между русским и российским?)

This is a universal theory, not only in the United States, but in the civilized world.
I always wonder how accurate these bloggers are when they report on such bullshit. Waste of time listening to them but yet here i am listening to this man.
If we are to rely on Russina collapse it just goes to demonstrate we, in the west, may not have a full grasp of the real situation.
We can all hope it will collapse but it would be very foolish to factor it into our defence thinking.
We in Europe must start thinking it is we who will carry this fight. The US is no longer (if it ever was) a reliable ally.
It will be happy to supply Europe with military might for as long as we have the ability to pay for it. Thus we must relyj on Euro industries to supply our needs and we need to be rebuilding our stocks to a higher level than Pre Ukrainian war. We are extremely vulnerable on all fronts and it need not be that way if we wake up now!
"The US is no longer (if it ever was) a reliable ally" - the US is NEVER anyone's ally. At best, it is a "dominant symbiont" who, at bad times, eats YOU alive when it has nothing better to readily consume (THIS is actually happening with Germany first and the rest of the EU, too).
Did you ever realize that you are watching a piece of lowly propaganda, full of lies, spins, incompetent statements, delusional projections and forecasts, and so on and so forth? I counted about a couple of dozens of these, grew tired and annoyed... someone would need to create a dissection video twice as long only to highlight them. The very beginning already reeks of retarded idiocy: "Putin tries to control / maintain the NARRATIVE..." - as if at war narratives matter more than projectiles do!
Countries all over Europe joined NATO because they are guaranteed military support in case of an attack on them.
There is NO such guaranties. They can send you food or letter of compliance and understanding and this basically fulfills their mutually agreed duties. Even less than they do for Ukraine. You can try and sue your NATO member states for "insufficient commitment", demanding anything greater than "basic" but your chances are quite flimsy, just as with WTO nowadays. In brief, those who want war will join, and those who do not - would not.

@@galvinstanley3235 Well that was the plan but if the Orange egotist wins the election in the US (and it is possible he will) Europe will never be able to rely on the US from one day to the next again. On a Sunday he would profess his undying love for Europe and offer to back us to the hilt because nobody in the history of whatever has more determination than him and he'll finish any invasion in Europe in 24 hrs and on the Monday he's as likely to return all US assets homeward and leave us high and dry. He'll tell anybody at any time whatever he thinks they most want to hear and then move on to the next line of bullshit - it's what he does!
There could be a knock on effect for this fickle sociopath inasmuch Euro money goess to Euro industries only to manufacture our way to salvation. At that point he might start some serious thinking but not before.
Best we start building that industrial base to enable our own defence right now. Not in a year but right now.
To think otherwise would be highly irresponsible and possible terminally dangerous for some parts of the alliance.
Both the EU and the non EU nations needs to work together or maybe face the defeat of democracy within our continent once more.
It's not like we haven't been given enough warnings!
The problem for Russia, it’s always been that its population is declining. There are fewer babies being born, than old people dying off. Keep this cycle going long enough, and even without warpRussia will collapse and die. Actually, this is not true for all Russians, only the European ones. Muslims in south, and central Asia, or actually growing in number. Sooner or later, the Muslims will grow in tolerant of orthodox Christians are marginalizing their religion. That’s when the rebellion will happen.
Europe knows the feeling too
same in EU
Are you serious? Europe is facing the exact same problem but much worse. Do you think Western Europe population is growing? It's declining at the same rate than Russia. The thing is that we are taking huge amounts of muslim refugees that are NOT part of our culture so it makes the illusion that we are not falling apart even tho we are. In Russia at least, the muslims and minorities they have are part of their culture and history. The risk of a rebellion is much higher in the West.

It always amazes me how the adepts of understanding Putin neglect the subjectivity of the states smaller than US, Russia or China. For them the world consists of «great powers», and the other ones are too insignificant and we should disregard their opinion. Usually this POV is pronounced by the citizen of one of «great powers» as they seem it.

Absolutely, the situation in Ukraine is incredibly uncertain. It's kind of surreal how history is being shaped right in front of us. There's this tension, you know? Ukraine isn't exactly winning, but it's not losing either. And with the US reconsidering its support, it's like the whole future of Ukraine's standing and alliances is up in the air. President Biden's words about a potential change in support just make everything even more unpredictable. It's a critical time where every move counts. Let's all try to stay updated and informed about what's happening.
Ukraine has allready lost. Hence why they're trying to recapture lands atm, both crimea and donbass.
Finishing the conflict as is would not be a neutral outcome, it would be a huge loss.

I hear you speak about wartime production, what i don't hear is "logistics"
It's all fine and dandy to have production but if your logistics are being shot things will stall and end up in an trench warfare scenario
Also what you don't speak of is the face the NATO countries, unlike Ukraine, can and will impose air dominance and this is a game changer.
Additionally they have direct access to military satellites and strategic stealth bombers (thank you USA)
there is ZERO chance that NATO can achieve air dominance over Russia. even in your dreams it cant happen.
BTW no, your assessment is completely wrong on Bakhmut. Urkainians lost Zaporozhia exactly because of Bakhmut. If they have attacked right after their offensive near Kherson, they could probably cut the demoralized russian forces into two. They instead walked into the trap, used up resources and manpower to defend a city, which they knew by january that they will eventually lose, and gave a ton of time to the Russians to fortify the frontlines. NATO high command literally begged them to give up the city and focus on Zaporozhia. The main reason why they dont get half of NATOs operational equipment, which would be needed to crush the Russians is because they make these great mistakes and not following advice.
Strategic and war studies is not your area of expertise, I’m sorry to say. Your assessment on the war in your comment is far off
Of course its not my idea, as I told you, it is a NATO assessment. Even Ben Hodges referred about Ukraine politely, as not too strategic in their thinking recently. Mistake no 1: they underestimated their enemy Mistake no2: they focused on political objectives instead of military ones Mistake no3: They thought that NATO tries to outsmart them, and not listening to good advice. Now the problem is, that if you give them the tanks and airplanes and they lose them because similar incompetence, then with what will you defend NATO? This should be priority No1. NATO equipment is under NATO command, they can chose the general and staff they like from our rosters, who will direct the military operations from now on.@@alfredchurchill2328

The full scale invasion of Ukraine made no sense too.
Just one by one. Do you really think all NATO members will send their soldiers to die for Estonia? I mean, the best what NATO can do right now is to support Ukraine like crazy
Putin started this war proclaiming "nato get away from here to where you were in 1997". According to Putin all eastern Europe is a property of renewed Soviet Empire. It includes Finland, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Chech republic, former Jugoslavia, Bolgaria and of course baltic states
"History is like a river, forever flowing, so one should not lose vigilance"
That went deep
Thanks!
It will take decades for Russia to requip its army. And even after an armystice they will need to keep a lot of defensive forces on the border with Ukraine, meaning that they will have much less to threaten the baltics. In any case, both Poland and the Baltics need to raise defence spending, and to create a fortified line on the border with Russia.

It's one thing to make a statement, it's a whole other thing to realize that American soldiers are going to enter into a full scale conventional war. I'm sure there will be some degree of hesitation. Will it be total hesitation to the point of not going to war at all? Unlikely.
i don't think america has anything to gain from keeping nato around anymore, we don't gain anything from being the world police
@@uknwarrior7980Zero chance that will occur overtly, maybe covertly. It’s naive to believe any administration would succumb to military defeat rather than using WMD’s. Such a conflict would mean millions dead, a cost nobody is realistically willing to pay for Ukraine, hence why they were used as the stick. Imagine the cost of confronting Iran or North Korea, now imagine Russia with 7k plus warheads. If you truly calculated that such a conflict will occur, then we should be ready to be drafted. Furthermore, if somehow we’re victorious without WMD’s being deployed, how would we ever confront China, or Iran, North Korea and other actors. With what remaining capabilities? It’s stupid tbh, not worth it.

NATO controls almost every trade lane Russia uses, if you think political sanctions on a few key personnel and products is harsh just wait until any ship leaving St. Petersburg, Murmansk and the black sea is blocked...
Anyone who thinks NATO is threatened by Russia is not worth listening to, it simply isn't.
Thinking it could gather such a large army in the Baltics, while apparently just leaving the Finnish border wide open for them to strike at the roads to Murmansk and the Russian northern fleet.
Thinking Ukraine wouldn't take the chance to restart their war with Russia and letting NATO trough Ukraine as well.
Thinking "Belarus would also be active" against NATO when it isn't even active against Ukraine.
Thinking 150k men would be enough to take the Baltics before reinforcemence would show up
Thinking NATO wouldn't react at all to Russia aligning 150k men along the Baltics.
Thinking taking the Baltics would only lose a few armored and mechanized divisions to take the Baltics.
Like, come on.
What in the world is giving anyone the idea that NATO wont react to direct attacks on it?
Every single time anyone in history said "if we attack them they don't have the stomach to fight back" it has gone horrible for the attacker, just considering the assumption that the invaded wont fight back in your plans is retarded.
NATO will fight back, because of course it will and Russia does not stand a chance to be more than an annoyance against NATO, just Europe alone without USA and Canada would waltz trough the Russian militaries.
What is this based on besides wild wishes by people that hates NATO?
> Russia does not stand a chance to be more than an annoyance against NATO
A bold statement about a country that has the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons, equipped with hypersonic missiles and a fleet of nuclear submarines and an unmanned underwater system called Poseidon that can cause tsunamis off enemy shores.
This will no longer be a war in which one can speak of an "unfortunate nuisance." It will be a war in which both Russia and the whole of Europe and the United States will die. Do we really want to bring it to this point? All it took was to hear Russia and its concerns about NATO expansion. But no, we will do what we want and listen to no one.

The thread of Russia invading was higher during the pre-invasion era than now.
Latvia has also attempted procurement of HIMARS and ATACMS. Furthermore our JTAC forces are being trained up.
As long as we have support and a little land to maneuver, along with Finland and the two sisters, we’re not too shabby. We can hold ‘em off until the others come to support.

We're already at WW3. It's different than WW2 as WW2 was different to WW1.
Every one of them is fought with the technology and means of its time. Today we have Internet and open borders, global supply chains.
We are vulnerable at fronts that didn't exist in the last century.
Putin knows how to fight all types of wars: hybrid war, informational war though he might be poor in fighting physical wars.
The endgame in WW3 is about democracies vs. dictatorships.
Ukraine is important not only becuase its the just cause. It's also the ultimate challenge for democracies to proove their resilience and decisiveness to stand with each other.
NATO was never challenged through its time being. If Russia is not stopped, the unity in NATO can easily break.

Imagine you call yourself 2nd army in the world and you feel threatened by the baltic states…
Imagine a so called superpower needing 3rd world countries like Iran and North Korea for weapons .
Spain has a gdp 3x larger than Iran .
I''ve seen some people from the Baltic states expressing confidence they can hold their own until help arrives. Sorry to say it guys but your assumption that help is actually coming might be overly optimistic. Imagine this: US decides to fall into isolationism or simply gets too busy with China to provide significant support. Right now they have about 10k soldiers in Europe and that's not nearly enough to make a significant difference. They'd need to send tens if not hundreds of thousands and there's no telling if they'll be willing to enter a full scale conflict with another nuclear power.
Put yourself in the shoes of a US president, whomever he could be (heaven forbid if it's Trump or another isolationist). Russia chooses to attack the Baltic states. What are your options?
1. Mobilize and send at least a hundred thousand US personnel with necessary equipment to Europe and throw them into the meatgrinder just so you can defend countries most Americans never heard about. On top of that take a risk of situation spinning out of control and seeing nuclear explosions over american cities.
2. Just pull back and make a deal with Russia. Sure, NATO will disintegrate and US will lose a lot of it's credibility. It will have to resort to bilateral deals with other countries when it comes to collective security and no one will trust them quite the same way as they do now. It will be costly for sure but if the alternative is a potential nuclear war what do you think he'll choose?
So, if US support cannot be guaranteed do you think French or Germans will be ready and willing to pick up the slack? How about Italians or Spanish? Politicians in Madrid will have a hard time convincing their population they now have to send their men to Latvia to die while US does nothing - they'll likely just follow the american leadership rather than jump to the fore. Poles or Finns would likely want to fight but without help from anyone else they'll be hard pressed to defend their own borders, let alone waltz into the Baltic states where they might easily get cut off from their supply base and be destroyed.
I'm afraid the idea of supplying Ukraine with just enough arms to keep them in the war but not quite enough to win is extremely short sighted and might have catastrophic consequences. Just like giving a patient enough antibiotic so he can survive but not enough for him to get well you might end up with one hell of a disease that's more dangerous than ever and highly resistant to your antibiotics. We might get to having WWIII on our hands simply because of the myopia and the sheer stupidity of Washington, Berlin or Paris. Putin already sees them as weak and undecisive, so he might well be willing to play chicken knowing they don't have the balls and they'll cave in first. I'm not sure what is worse - that he'll turn up to be right or wrong. In the former case we might see brutal occupation of eastern Europe and the break up of NATO. In the latter we might see nukes flying around - or at the very least the bodies of thousands of men and women.
Blame Biden for defending Netanyahu, instead of crying about Americans wanting Peace with Russia and no more wars on our behave!
Well said. Poland and Ukraine must acquire nuclear weapons in large numbers. Russia the perpetual invader can have no significant advantage in any area. The US is an unreliable but often useful ally for Europe and everywhere else. Sweden would be wise to also acquire nuclear weapons but psychologically this would be too big a jump for them but when the shyt hits the fan it would then be too late. Sweden could in the mean time develop the platforms needed for the delivery of nuclear weapons.
The Baltic states are in the EU and thus will be defended by Europe. Unless Russia manages to compromise every government in the EU, then there is no way they wouldnt intervene to defend.
Russia has pretty much destroyed it's economy and military just to take eastern Ukraine. And as much as Russian bots will say that Ukraine is finished if aid stops, they arent going to completely fall. Putin carried out one of the biggest geopolitical blunders in all of human history and invading the baltics would just be outdoing himself.
That's a spot on analysis. I don't believe any German would defend Baltics or Poland. All I see is Scholz sending his army a message not to interfere and pull back as soon as Russians invade. There is a long history of Germany playing only on it's pure interest over interest of it's EU eastern nieghbours. Despite the war is waging - Germany is unable to fulfill it's NATO obligations and spend 2% of it's GDP on defense. I think that deep in their hearts they still believe they will have NS2 in operation in some time.

Not at all. Russia will not attack Baltic states without confidence in victory. Should Trump lead US to exit NATO the Europe would be doomed. There will be a big chance Germany and France will sacrifice Baltic states in this case. The reputational loss will be extremely huge. The influence of US and European countries will be severely decreased. China, Russia and other big countries will dictate the new World order and will de facto control all major World organizations via corrupt authorities, including in Olympic sport. That is the direction where our World goes now. The defeat of Ukraine is the first step in the chain of events and it is the major battle that will severely influence everything. That is why it is so critical to win this battle or at least not to let Russia win.

The entire civilized world remembers how the United States killed people in Yugoslavia, Libya, Syria, Vietnam, Iran and other countries.

You can't get more isolationist than with Biden in the White House, he is slow on giving Ukraine aid that actually does anything in the war to hurt Russia, and he is weak against Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, both terrorist groups, plus weak against Iran and China, he also is not talking about ramping up our military like we should be!

All U.S. help (including material help like tanks and replenishing stocks. Those are the things that you need anyway or replace eventually. They also can't be sold for that price on Ebay or be used as homeless shelters. Keep it in mind) is 75 bln dollars. This includes humanitarian help. It's a lot for me, but 2 years of help is only 0,29% of GDP for the most powerful empire on Earth. If you make 5 000 dollars, it's 15 bucks. Is it much? There are some people who in the US live paycheck to paycheck or struggle to put food on the table. But is it worth it to stop sacred democratic institutions? To keep hostage their own country? A few (let's remember that too) congress”people” who use human tragedy as a blackmail tool to keep brown people away from the borders.

It is true that the collapse of the Russian Federation into smaller states would be destabilizing in many ways, but ultimately, I do not think it would be dangerous. In even that Russian loss in Ukraine will bring down Putin (and it almost certainly would), I think the US and NATO would be right there to make sure that 1) Russia’s nuclear weapons remain in responsible hands, and 2) that Russia does not disintegrate into failing states, but some sort of confederation between the various parts of Russia, kind of like the government of the USA. What a lot of people do not realize is that the USA is not really one nation-its more like 50 mini-nations that voluntarily agree to cooperate with each other for collective defense and productivity-which is what the US Federal Government is for. Most services in the United States are provided by the states and many private companies.
Russia likes to pretend its a federation, but it is not. It a centrally controlled autocracy with a veneer of voluntary federation only. In theory, Russian Republics like Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, the Republic of Mari El, etc are independent states with a relationship to Moscow like Pennsylvania is to Washington, D.C., but this is not the case. The leaders of Russian Republics are not chosen by the people in those republics like citizens of American states elect their governors and state legislatures: these are appointed by Moscow, and they must belong to the United Russia party or one of the authorized minority parties.
A Russia without Putin could give a federated democracy like they tried to create in the 1990s another try…but the West would have to show support without trying to direct the process, as we sort of tried to in the 1990s, and which led to the rise of people like Putin simply because corruption runs very deep in Russia, and perceived American interference or stage-managing was resented by Russians.
But a Russia that remains in Putin’s iron grip is a clear threat not only to Ukraine, but also Europe and the European-North American alliance.

@@TheRezro Finland is overall harder to attack straight on. Expect hybrid warfare rather than some invasion there.
The prize as Putin sees it is that if Russia gains anything, even smallest patch of land, and it holds it long enough for NATO to get tired and resign (vide Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine now), then a) NATO is proven not to work and most probably collapses and b) Putin is remembered as Russian national hero forever.
@@zbigniewp1810 Russia already do hybrid warfare from last decade. For example, burning Quran incident in Sweden was done by Russian agent.
The big problem with Baltic States is that it is officially a NATO, with other countries having own armies there. So attack would definitely trigger response. Even if it is technically a weak spot.
Finland could be perceived by Russians as weaker target, especially due to delusion that Russians are good in winter combat (it is why they do offensive now). But also NATO is technically not yet there and Putin could beat on Western countries not delivering on security guarantees.
Especially if they have delusional believe that they actually fight NATO in Ukraine. And such could try strike Finland, when they deem front in Ukraine as stable enough. But it is hard to predict level of Russian insanity here? It all could be a PsyOp.
Attacking Scandinavia is far from reality. Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark are in alliance. That alone is enough of a detergent. Although we are not gigantic in numbers, we have some of the best equipment in the world. Especially our Finnish friends. They are the most elite army in the world.
Well researched and written. How are we letting this evil win? Our children will shake their heads in disbelief..
Same way people stood by and watched first Nazi Germany and then the Soviets conquer countries. Laziness, apathy and an unwillingness to do what’s necessary.
It’s not over till the fat lady sings.
The same way we allowed the US to win in Iraq.
same reasons as to how we let the US and their partners of western hegemony and their so called "international rules based order" bomb and destroy Iraq and kill 1 million people in the process and bush and blair and co get away with it all.
perhaps "our children" should shake our heads in utter disbelief at the absolute hypocrisy of the people condemning putin and the russians while having done far worse in recent history?
and now the same people who supported the war in iraq, supported the overthrow of Gaddafi and funded the wars all over the middle east suddenly found their moral high horse and humanity in February 2022 and have the absolute cheek and balls to tell putin HE'S wrong for protecting his people in Ukraine. the hypocrisy and double standards knows no bounds.
But then again, I guess war is only "evil" once it's european people with blond hair and blue eyes dying because of it, right?
all of this could have been avoided had the democratically elected ukranian government in 2014 not been overthrown by nuland and her cohorts for the sake of UK interests to "contain russia".
Had the US and European countries minded their business when putin finally decided last year that enough was enough, and stayed out of the war and let the ukranians and russians fight it out between them ALONE, then this war would've been over months ago.
You simply don't have enough sources to compete with Russia militarily, that's all. No such heavy industry
I would say the biggest issue is fighting age men. Not only did thousands leave, but thousands have been killed or injured and Russia isn't producing any babies. You need fighting age men to fight wars and Russia isn't replacing any.
Look up thier population
@@ErrorMati Dwindling by several hundred thousand per year, ageing much faster, and those numbers are before the war saw people die and flee.
Russia already sucked economically, imagine in a few years when the young people are dead or left and only pensioners are left to provide for themselves.
This war is demographically catastrophic for Russia.
@@ErrorMatitheir population is too heavy and their young population leaves at massive rate causing brain drain.

They cant leave, the borders are locked for evading men
Nothing has indicated that the US fears that giving Ukraine aid will threaten stability in Russia, it’s actually quite the opposite. US military leaders see a stalemate that Ukrainians cannot break, thus it is becoming more difficult to justify military aid from the American people without results.
If Russia thinks it can beat Nato then Russia has a shovel up its skrop sideways 🎉😂
Russia already beat NATO. the next strongest NATO military is Turkey. do you see Turkey looking for a fight with Russia? who else is there? Russia has more troops languishing in BeloRussia then Nato has in all of Europe
@@notsure6182 you sound like you got a shovel up your skrop sideways 😭
@@kleinenfuchse5365 LoL. I will take that as an admission you KNOW NATO cant win against Russia in a war the US's Nuland started.
@@notsure6182 how often do you shave your skropple a year? 😭
Russia doesn't care, NATO is collapsing by itself with regressive policies and displacement
If you are going to class the thin skinned HMMWV as _armoured then you had better add the Australian Bushmaster as an armoured vehicle as well. Can you imagine the logistic *nightmare* Ukraine has with such an assortment of weapons especially with the far call 14 Challenger 2, 14 Leopard 2, 35 AMX and the late to the party 31 Abrams.
The American Lend-Least has been IMO all _piss and wind_ with Ukraine being delivered broken and *very old* equipment and in very limited numbers just like the munitions that could have helped the summer offensive the most. ATACMS that would have enabled Ukraine to take out a lot of #russiaTerrorisState attack helicopters *before* the offensive began would have saved a lot of lives and equipment at the beginning. Instead they get supplied with the oldest short range ATACMS way after the #russianTerrorist Ka-52s had taken the supplied armour.
*THREE YEARS* after Defence Minister Resnikov was pleading for Patriot air defence systems, Ukraine now has just three systems. Good thing it's such a small land mass and they can cover the whole country............oh wait. While the West still dithers Ukraine citizens are still being murdered on Putler's orders and Ukrainian land is being infected with #russiaPariahState land mines and the civilian infrastructure still being turned into rubble. How quickly the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam seems to have been forgotten along with so much more.
