@@markmierzejewski9534 nothing, I don't blame Ukraine for anything and want them to win that war outright. I'm making fun of Putin's logic of keeping NATO away by taking Ukraine which is still bordered by NATO on any side Russia could make the new border. It's the lamest and dumbest excuse for warfare since the war on Terror in Iraq
@@YeeSoest They want to push the boundary of their influence westward as far as they can. It is reasonable from that point of view. No one makes war, I presume, just for fun. The point should be how are they prevented from pushing their boundaries towards Europe, not wether or not the goal is righteous. NATO expansion was a good way to do this, right or not.
Kaliningrad would probably like to remain as a demilitarized self-governing exclave of Russia. Since the original inhabitants were exiled after WW2 and replaced with various Russian citizens, there doesn't seem to be an obvious answer
Again I would like to thank Putin for single handedly heading up the 2022 NATO membership drive. Let's see if he can top himself by convincing the caucus countries to join.
just a reminder Russia continues to defeat the entire NATO block with a 600,000 peace time force. Russia is the #1 military power in the world. NATO is no match against Russia.
@user-gi6ok7wf8h Just a reminder that NATO hasn't suffered any casualties yet and are not even on the battlefield. Yet Russia already suffered massive loses.
What communication to close with Kaliningrad? Even with Swedish Gotland in NATO, there are still several tens of km of naval corridor. The entry and exit from the Baltic Sea through the Scandinavian straits is completely different.
Sweden and Finland combined defence spending just got added to the rest which totals something like $1.2 trillion annually , in the meanwhile lets be honest, Russia is going nowhere fast now after having been officially outed as all smoke and mirrors , a cold war relic and seriously lacking the know how to wage a modern war , as a blue water Navy its finished with no credible means to protect its ships at sea far from its mainland airbase's
Really? The Russian Army arguably has one of the largest and most well trained armies in the world because of the Ukraine War. NATO tech, NATO intel and NATO Advisers have made Russia much more confident in its abilities and have turned Russia onto a war footing. Their economy has shifted away from the West, which is now crippled due to energy being 4-5 times more costly. Russia has weathered the sanctions, and so there is not much NATO can do anymore unless they wish to risk nuclear conflict. Considering Russia has expanded its army almost 8 fold, has refined its strategies and tactics to fight this new type of warfare, has negated much of the sanctions effects, has opened up new trade with the rest of the world and has crippled Europe economically, and continues to expand it territory further into a collapsing Ukraine, I dont think Russia needs to be the ones fretting right now. We shouldnt forget, it isnt just Russia that hates us, it is the entire world and for good reason.
Self belief ! is as one knows is the process where example a country believes in its ability to fight and win , but to achieve the tactical goals you have set yourself requires judgement and an honest thinking that one is actually capable of success, its that judgement that is presently at fault as to why Russia after some 600 + days and counting has not achieved its tactical goals ! and unable to outrightly defeat a much smaller Armed force
@@almaddow3229 Russia lacks the manpower and economic weight to maintain expanded borders. In a couple decades, NATO is more likely to end up helping Russia defend itself against an expansionist China then it is to defend itself against Russia.
I hate exclaves/enclaves. They're simply a temporary solution that starts to stink after a while. Just give it to Poland and/or Lithuania (Germany gave up on it in exchange for reunification). Of course such a thing is not likely to happen under peaceful circumstances.
Lithuania was offered it but we are not stupid enough to take it given amount of Russians living there and Russian excuses for their wars Though. Why should Russia give it to Poland?
From WC USA, just one person’s opinion, I think Kaliningrad should go back to it’s rightful owner, Germany! You can steal something, but it has to be given back to it’s rightful owner sooner or later!
The other side of Sweden & Finlands joining NATO is the nortern fleets access to the Atlantic is hampered as any vessels have a much greater coastline to travel past of the Scandinavian countries.
This means securing the four provinces along Ukraine's Black Sea coast is even more vital for Russia to survive as a Naval Power in Europe. No wonder they are going all-in.
Going all-in? Looks more like folding after you've bet the pot. Putin's genius at work. Since its inception and without firing a single shot towards Moscow, NATO has collapsed the USSR, doubled its membership and ruined the Russian economy for a decade. They did all that by being mostly peaceful.
The Russian Baltic Fleet has been a dud (as a bluewater force) for decades already since they would have to navigate Skagerak (separating Norway and Denmark) into the North Sea where Norway, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and the UK hang out and play together both with their navies and airforces. Russia might as well have built a 1500 km channel to the Black Sea before remembering that Turkey is policing the Bosporus and Spain is happily caring for Gibraltar. They have one way into the Atlantic, and that is from Kola, and that is not changing anytime soon. Can we foresee Russia getting a good enough friend in Africa to set up a naval base in, say, Angola? Maybe (though I think Belgium would enter the chat pretty quickly). It is however a pretty risky investment, as long-term political stability is not defined as "long" on the West African coast. Nothing really changes. Norway, the UK, Canada, the US and (partly) Denmark do the primary work of caring for the G(reenland)-I(celand)-UK gaps since the entire 2nd wave Russian strategic nuke arsenal and basically the entire Atlantic fleet is located on Kola. Yet it is funny: Russians have some big ships stuck in "lake NATO" at the moment. It must be interesting to be a sailor knowing that if you break as much as a fart on a Russian naval ship, listening buoys from Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and the entire Joint Expeditionary Force (a UK led regional expeditionary naval force consisting of the UK, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway) hanging out in the lake, reporting said fart supported by UK, German and Norwegian P8 surveillance aircraft in addition to NATO designated American and British electronic sniffers plus the substantial Swedish and Finnish SigInt prowess from centuries of relying on own data on top of the entire Baltic being sensational on HumInt. I do not know if Russian warships are equipped with microwave ovens, but If they are, NATO knows when they are used while being stuck in Kaliningrad. I can only join in and nominate Putin as the NATO Friend of the Year (again). It is a weird thing, as we remember Putin wishing to join NATO less than 3 decades ago. Now he is in a situation where everyone will blow his Baltic Fleet out of the water before they even can reach Gotland.
Russia has expended most of its weapons in Ukraine and proven most of their stuff doesn't work. Now would be a good time for Europe, America and China to discuss what parts of Russia each will keep for themselves after the war. Will their nukes work any better than their other unmaintained equipment? They have nothing.
The whole "it's running out of weapons!" or "it's gonna collapse" it's pretty much bullshit. I mean the running out of weapons could be problem for the future but they are still making more weapons. And the collapsing things was disproven.. I am not even on Russia's side in the war or at all, your just saying stupid things.
@@ramadankadriu5336, I think you are right about Manchuria. Moscow will lose its grip on the far east and China will sieze it. I don't know about the US taking Mexico. Seems like we already have a pretty good economic setup in North America with prefential trade relations between US, Canada, Mexico.
Its more china you should look at. The reason their 'support' of russia is so half hearted is because they want huge chunks of it themselves. The reason russia didnt initially invade ukraine with more men was because they kept about 50% of their forces in the east
A blockade of Kaliningrad could force Russia to do something that NATO can´t ignore. Both Russia and NATO don´t want war with each other. NATO could sanction certain goods but I think they wouldn´t play this so hard that Russia has no other choice.
Th ebiggest single concentration of military power in the world is on the Murmansk Penisula. There is something like one major highway and one heavy railine connecting the Murmansk Penisula with the rest of Russia. The area is heavily wood, with lots of bogs, and sparely populated. There is now a 250 mile (give or take) long border that must be secured against Finnish (or NATO) commandos who may be sent to booby-trap the rail line or roadway.
The next thing you know a couple of cargo ships crash into the Suez canal wrecking the EU economy even more, as far as Kaliningrad is concerned, it would be better if they go independent and rename themselves New Prussia/Konigsberg and relearn deutch.
@VisualPolitikEU As far as I know, Kaliningrad region must be German by now, since this territory was given to Russia for use for several years and must be returned to former owner, which is Germany. This was signed after the war. Maybe you can dig this dipper and spread this point of view if this truly has something under it.
Second person to view the video. Yay. Russia should not have a problem operating in the North Atmosphere, since they have a lot of icebreakers and they can do everything they want north Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Although building the infrastructure in northern Russia will be challenging, it seems to be possible. Especially if China decided to change the shipping routes to pass North Russia, rather than the Suez Canal.
@@Rob_F8F Do whatever they want in the Arctic? A ice breaker is not a warship. Russia lost their Black Sea flagship to a country with no navy by Air to Sea missiles. What's a icebreaker going to do?
@@Crashed131963 With climate change, the Arctic polar ice cap is melting. The Arctic will eventually become a navigable sea. That allows new shipping routes to be created. There a lot of hope that this will enhance North Hemisphere trade.
I hope you guys continue this trend, shorter videos but more videos. I would rather have two to three 7 minute videos a week, then a single 20 minute video.
Sorry I want the company to succeed. Shorter content videos are the way to do it. It equates to more videos, with more views, for more opportunity for them to expand.
idk why it's so hard for Sweden to fullfil that turkish demand about deportation of kurdish militias, they already have a list. it should be very easy.
@@bebekdragon7604 First of all Sweden won't deport it's own citizens, no country would. Secondly, Turkey have a completely different definition of terrorist than Sweden. Erdogan calls everyone he doesn't like a PKK terrorist :P
Hmm, I'm sure imposing a shipping blockade of Russian trade through the Baltic Sea won't cause any sort of friction or cause for future conflict. Sure hope Europe gets its act together and fund a military 🪖
@Suksass perhaps you enjoy conflict and war. I do not. I spent 3.5 years of my life in Iraq 🇮🇶, and for what? Until someone experiences war, they boldly talk about waging it like it's a game. It's not. For some reason, the US and by proxy, all of Europe 🇪🇺. Are now locked into a conflict with Russia 🇷🇺 by virtue of surrounding them on all sides. We taunt Russias Red Lines while never enforcing our own. Europe, however, is in big trouble. They have outsourced their defense and defense industrial manufacturing, leaving their entire industry in peril. With $34 trillion in US debt. Our country has a finite amount of time left before we are going to be unable to keep funding $800+ billion annual defense spending. That means priorities will shift. The US views China as its near peer adversary, not Russia. This is why Europe needs to massively scale up defense spending so it can take the lead and allow the US to fall back into a supporting role.
@@jonsvensson5630 The answer to the first question is easy to answer. Sweden's constitution states that the Swedish people must be allowed to have a referendum on the matter.And the second question is also easy to answer, The popular support fell below 50% at the beginning of November
The Real difference is Ukraine + Sweden+ Finland + Georgia +Moldova + Austria + Ireland + Switzerland All taking a clear stance against Russia like never before
If Russia fails apart AND doesn't just become a land of heavily armed warlords and drugs traffick, the US gets to indulge its isolationist tendencies in the West while concentrating its forces to the East. The Europe gets to demilitarize and indulge in its democratic socialist tendencies. World Peace in one half of the world.
@@muratdagdelen8163 For the USA most likely however I'm not convinced that Europe is as interested So NATO would become North Pacific Treaty Organisation?
Whether Kaliningrad / Koenigsberg wants to seperate from Russia and join the EU / NATO is up to the people of Kaliningrad -.though the current environment wouldn't allow a vote. (Look how difficult it is for, for example, Scotland to be allowed a vote for independence).
@@mrhappyendland Yeah, fair point. Maybe I should have used the Basque country as an example. The UK must be one of the only places which accepted such a vote in recent times - it seems unlikely Russia will, at least in its current incarnation.
Königsberg was, is and will be part of Deutschland. This unlawful occupation from Russia must stop. And they need to pay for all the damages they did to that area. And take their people to Russia proper. Anything short of that is an insult.
Russia was not using a lot of its navy and Baltic sea is completly overvalued .Even in greater Moscow there more people then in Baltic area with Sweden,Finland and Baltic states.
being further from the front lines (slash potential front lines) tends to lead to more technological advancement vs raw power / military strength. it's one of the advantages of your nation being in a safer environment. :)
@@alberarthure After 1721 Finland still belonged to Sweden. And even after 1809 when Russia took Finland Sweden kept the position as the major naval power in the Baltic.
Make Kaliningrad part of the EU. It should never be part of Russia. Konigsberg (the original name for Kaliningrad) the capital, is historically Prussia, one of the old Baltic speaking countries/cultures. Prussian, Latvian & Lithuanian languages are the proto-european (very old europe) languages and cultures of this area, it is not a Slavic/Russia area. So Russia has only occupied the area since WW2. Prussia (this is where Fredrick the Great and the philosopher Kant came from), it was a country which became part of Germany, but was also part of Poland and Lithuania. Russia is a newcomer and only recently occupied it. So Russia has no historic, cultural or political right to the area. It was part of the mistake after WW2 when the west sold out eastern and northern europe and gave it to Russia/USSR. The solution would be to drop the Russian name, call it Konigsberg, create an area which is managed by Lithuania, Germany and Poland. It could be the first part of the EU which is run ultimately from the EU/Brussels. Russia is afraid that the Baltic states will attack Russia, this is ridiculous. And it would be like Luxembourg needs to be destroyed before it attacks France or Denmark attacks Germany. Russia has long term economic and political problems so it attacks neighbours to avoid the problems of solving internal Russian problems. Be careful if the west allows Russia to occupy Ukraine, the people of Ukraine will be shot like in Bucha, sent to siberia then who is left will be used by Russia to fight against Europe. Russia today, uses people from their minorities and poor areas to fight in Ukraine while Russians from St Petersburg and Moscow areas are not sent to war. Read Russian history, when Russia is in trouble is externalizes its problems and attacks outwards.
The Baltic Prussia was ethnically cleansed by Germans a thousand years ago. It's also knows as old Prussia. And it was never part of ether Poland or Lithuania. Germanic prussia from where Frederik the great came is what you think off. As it was subservient to commonwealth before gaining independence. If we gonna start splitting Europe into historic lands, a lot of borders would change. Lithuania and Poland have no claim to these lands as they gave it up centuries ago to get help from Prussia against Swedes. Germany gave up all the claims to any non current territories post ww2. You own countries probably historically belonged to someone else so I would pipe down with historic claims if I were you. You might give others ideas on getting back what is their.
Kaliningrad is in fact Königsberg and thus should be separated from Russia. My Idea would be the recreation of the Grand Duchy of Prussia organized in the same manner as the principiality of Andorra. The co-dukes of Prussia would be the bishop of Telsiai and the Czech president. Well this is just an idea, but a way has to be found to solve the Königsberg issue.
And by the way, over the last 2 years westerners have been saying that Putin was autistic,senile, had at least 3 cancers, parkinson, schizophréniea.........but he is still alive despite 10 heart attacks😂😂
People with cancer can live for decades depending on the specific cancer and the treatment, unlike regular Russians Putin has access to excellent health care. I didn't know it was possible to survive and even post comments on CZcams without a brain though!
If I were Russia, I would sell as much crude oil as possible and hope global warming is as disasterous as the doomsday predictions make it out to be. A year round ice free Arctic would be the lifeline Russia needs as they can shift all military ports there and have access to the open ocean and eliminate its Four Seas problem.
Good luck building new infrastructure on melting permafrost! When you have solved that challenge, you can then watch as vast areas of western Russia are flooded from rising sea levels over the next century.
The next step for NATO should probably be an offer by Turkey to allow the remains of the Russian Black Sea Fleet to exit the theatre via the Dardanelles. They will do Russia no good in the sea of Azov, and can await the scrapyard more usefully in Vladivostok or Murmansk , where they can contribute to the facade of Russian sea power. After that, Finland can begin negotiations with Russia for the return of Karelia and the Kola peninsula, Putin having exhausted his military capacity in a fruitless adventure further south.
This helps Sweden how? This helps Finland how? This headache for Russia benefits who? The Baltic countries benefit who? Your videos don't address the big-picture issues.
That isn't how it works though. So long as owners call it Kaliningrad, Kaliningrad it remains. Lithuania calls Poland, Lenkija after all. So does Poland not exist then?
@@Suksass Of course I agree, that it doesn't matter how other countries are naming You. In Latvian languge all foreign names are remade and "latvianized", to correspond to our languge laws or to reflect our cultural norms. But wat conserns Northern Prussia, Russia owns it now - yes and Germany owned it in past. But bouth countries occupied it. There was and still are native population, who considere it their native homeland. Thou tooday that population is scattered throught world, mostly because of forced ressetlement, deportations, wars and so on.
Opposite to its opponent Rusland does not easily sacrifice unnecessarily many lives of its soldiers so they let for now have the opponent a bit of control over the western part of that sea while consolidating there and doing offensive action where they win more with less victims. The predictable outcome on the long term: Russia will officially take the eastern part of Ukraine back, the western part will either remain independent or go back to European countries.
You can tell this is something like a Troll because it wrote "Rusland". Probably a German, maybe paid actor, but no sane person would claim that after 2 years of deliberate meat grinder and thousands of examples of human wave tactics, the RUSSIAN side was the one caring about lives 😅 Ukraine is fighting for its existence, of course they're willing to sacrifice as much as the Ukrainian people are going along with!!! What else? "Sorry, we're not doing this anymore! Go home, Russia!" ???
Sweden was de-facto if not de-jure NATO member before 2022, and the Finnish political elite was already pro-NATO and moving in that direction. It was only a matter of time before both joined. Inaction on Russia's part would have meant that Finland + Sweden + Ukraine would have been in NATO in a decade or so. At least now there is little chance of Ukraine being accepted into NATO.
Nope, only kokoomus leadership was pro-nato, others were more mixed bag, other right wing party PS was opposed of joining. Biggest NATO support for joining before invasion was about 25% and when invasion started it jumped to high 70s at best. Many finns me included hoped, falsely it seems now, that our big neighbour would not really attack its other neighbour.. but they were stupid and blind enough to do so.. what other stupid stuff they would be able to do in futute.. like influensing or invading Finland militarily. So switchded my position over night. Sweden may have had deep ties to NATO but they were even less enthusiast on joining because of their 200 years of neutrality...
Joining Nato was the most stupid thing ever made by both Sweden and Finland, whose realtionship were not even comparable to Ukraine. Your politicians worked secretely for decades at your peoples' back and sized the right moment to make you swallow the Nato membership.😢
@@salvatoreventaglio3782 Uh huh. Of course. And while we're discussing stupidity, how clever was your boss to invade Ukraine in the first place? One of the (many) reasons he and his bunch of clowns has given was to stop NATO expansion. Tell me, has that worked?
In Black Sea, once Crimea is liberated, I guess Georgia will be added to NATO and this way Russian access to sea cut out completely for good. Kaliningrad will secede and liberate itself from Russia, will join EU & NATO as the 4th Baltic state.
All these talk sheat about democracy was still the same, anti communist and anti Russia. We all preach about democracy yet we cannot respect people's right to be communist. What hypocrites we all are.
probably has to do with the fact that communists are one party states. Even if it was their right to choose communism, their government won't let them change that opinion. Since even America has more options than a commie state

This sounds a lot like "Ukraine is beating Russia and will reclaim its lost territories" First off, closing the Strat of Finland is Cassus Belli, and would likely mean nuclear war. Second, Kalingrad is an exclave of Russia, but is still Russian with Russian population. It also has a naval port and Russia will never give that up without letting loose the nukes. This entire video is NATO circle jerk and frankly, Russophobic. NATO is the reason there is a Ukraine War at all. Also, Russia is winning and will win that war. Lastly, Ukraine going to NATO would mean Russia will not stop until Odessa is taken. They arent that far. Ukraine is collapsing and nobody is sending them the arms they need or the money they need to run their dictatorship. The question is: Are we (NATO) the badies? Yes, yes we are.
Nato and us department supporting the ultra right wing government coup from 2014 in maidan, kiev. Turchinov sending ukrainian troops to east ukraine as a anti-terrorist operation against the russian separatists. Russophobia in east-ukraine for nearly a decade.
Lol, NATO's combined forces would decimate Russia. Russia can't even beat one country that is less powerful than them. How are they going to stack up against almost every modern country in North America and Europe? Cope harder.
@@kaelanskinner8298 NATO only sent older equipment, it's clear that they are worried of using their newest equipment. And in numbers alone NATO trounces Russia, which is a very important number in war. At least compared to Ukraine which is easily smaller but holding them off

Russia is able to destroy both Sweden and Finland by pushing a single button. And by the way NATO tactics and weapons seem to be overestimated after Ukrainian failure with its counter offensive

Since its inception and without firing a single shot towards Moscow, NATO has collapsed the USSR, doubled its membership and ruined the Russian economy for a decade.
They did all that by being mostly peaceful.
Why so sort video?.
The Russian Baltic Fleet has been a dud (as a bluewater force) for decades already since they would have to navigate Skagerak (separating Norway and Denmark) into the North Sea where Norway, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and the UK hang out and play together both with their navies and airforces. Russia might as well have built a 1500 km channel to the Black Sea before remembering that Turkey is policing the Bosporus and Spain is happily caring for Gibraltar.
They have one way into the Atlantic, and that is from Kola, and that is not changing anytime soon.
Can we foresee Russia getting a good enough friend in Africa to set up a naval base in, say, Angola? Maybe (though I think Belgium would enter the chat pretty quickly). It is however a pretty risky investment, as long-term political stability is not defined as "long" on the West African coast.
Nothing really changes. Norway, the UK, Canada, the US and (partly) Denmark do the primary work of caring for the G(reenland)-I(celand)-UK gaps since the entire 2nd wave Russian strategic nuke arsenal and basically the entire Atlantic fleet is located on Kola.
Yet it is funny: Russians have some big ships stuck in "lake NATO" at the moment. It must be interesting to be a sailor knowing that if you break as much as a fart on a Russian naval ship, listening buoys from Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and the entire Joint Expeditionary Force (a UK led regional expeditionary naval force consisting of the UK, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway) hanging out in the lake, reporting said fart supported by UK, German and Norwegian P8 surveillance aircraft in addition to NATO designated American and British electronic sniffers plus the substantial Swedish and Finnish SigInt prowess from centuries of relying on own data on top of the entire Baltic being sensational on HumInt.
I do not know if Russian warships are equipped with microwave ovens, but If they are, NATO knows when they are used while being stuck in Kaliningrad.
I can only join in and nominate Putin as the NATO Friend of the Year (again). It is a weird thing, as we remember Putin wishing to join NATO less than 3 decades ago. Now he is in a situation where everyone will blow his Baltic Fleet out of the water before they even can reach Gotland.
@@arlekino4688 Quiet, don't reveal secrets, Ukraine has already defeated Russia five times with the help of NATO...🤣🤣🤣

Russia has expended most of its weapons in Ukraine and proven most of their stuff doesn't work. Now would be a good time for Europe, America and China to discuss what parts of Russia each will keep for themselves after the war. Will their nukes work any better than their other unmaintained equipment? They have nothing.

A blockade of Kaliningrad could force Russia to do something that NATO can´t ignore. Both Russia and NATO don´t want war with each other. NATO could sanction certain goods but I think they wouldn´t play this so hard that Russia has no other choice.
Th ebiggest single concentration of military power in the world is on the Murmansk Penisula. There is something like one major highway and one heavy railine connecting the Murmansk Penisula with the rest of Russia. The area is heavily wood, with lots of bogs, and sparely populated. There is now a 250 mile (give or take) long border that must be secured against Finnish (or NATO) commandos who may be sent to booby-trap the rail line or roadway.
Psst that service rout travel's less than 250km for over 700km so Finland by it self can reach those service lines on conventional weapons.
The next thing you know a couple of cargo ships crash into the Suez canal wrecking the EU economy even more, as far as Kaliningrad is concerned, it would be better if they go independent and rename themselves New Prussia/Konigsberg and relearn deutch.

Russia should not have a problem operating in the North Atmosphere, since they have a lot of icebreakers and they can do everything they want north Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Although building the infrastructure in northern Russia will be challenging, it seems to be possible. Especially if China decided to change the shipping routes to pass North Russia, rather than the Suez Canal.

For some reason, the US and by proxy, all of Europe 🇪🇺. Are now locked into a conflict with Russia 🇷🇺 by virtue of surrounding them on all sides. We taunt Russias Red Lines while never enforcing our own.
Europe, however, is in big trouble. They have outsourced their defense and defense industrial manufacturing, leaving their entire industry in peril.
With $34 trillion in US debt. Our country has a finite amount of time left before we are going to be unable to keep funding $800+ billion annual defense spending. That means priorities will shift. The US views China as its near peer adversary, not Russia. This is why Europe needs to massively scale up defense spending so it can take the lead and allow the US to fall back into a supporting role.

Whether Kaliningrad / Koenigsberg wants to seperate from Russia and join the EU / NATO is up to the people of Kaliningrad -.though the current environment wouldn't allow a vote. (Look how difficult it is for, for example, Scotland to be allowed a vote for independence).
Scotland did have a vote in 2014 and chose to remain part of the UK. The SNP calling for a new vote every other day doesn't really count.

Russia have never controlled the Baltic.
Sweden have been the major power in the Baltic for centuries.
In 1721, the Swedes were defeated and in fact, before the collapse of the USSR, the Baltic countries were a colony of Russia
@@alberarthure After 1721 Finland still belonged to Sweden. And even after 1809 when Russia took Finland Sweden kept the position as the major naval power in the Baltic.

Make Kaliningrad part of the EU. It should never be part of Russia. Konigsberg (the original name for Kaliningrad) the capital, is historically Prussia, one of the old Baltic speaking countries/cultures. Prussian, Latvian & Lithuanian languages are the proto-european (very old europe) languages and cultures of this area, it is not a Slavic/Russia area. So Russia has only occupied the area since WW2. Prussia (this is where Fredrick the Great and the philosopher Kant came from), it was a country which became part of Germany, but was also part of Poland and Lithuania. Russia is a newcomer and only recently occupied it. So Russia has no historic, cultural or political right to the area. It was part of the mistake after WW2 when the west sold out eastern and northern europe and gave it to Russia/USSR. The solution would be to drop the Russian name, call it Konigsberg, create an area which is managed by Lithuania, Germany and Poland. It could be the first part of the EU which is run ultimately from the EU/Brussels. Russia is afraid that the Baltic states will attack Russia, this is ridiculous. And it would be like Luxembourg needs to be destroyed before it attacks France or Denmark attacks Germany. Russia has long term economic and political problems so it attacks neighbours to avoid the problems of solving internal Russian problems. Be careful if the west allows Russia to occupy Ukraine, the people of Ukraine will be shot like in Bucha, sent to siberia then who is left will be used by Russia to fight against Europe. Russia today, uses people from their minorities and poor areas to fight in Ukraine while Russians from St Petersburg and Moscow areas are not sent to war. Read Russian history, when Russia is in trouble is externalizes its problems and attacks outwards.
The Baltic Prussia was ethnically cleansed by Germans a thousand years ago. It's also knows as old Prussia.
And it was never part of ether Poland or Lithuania.
Germanic prussia from where Frederik the great came is what you think off. As it was subservient to commonwealth before gaining independence.
If we gonna start splitting Europe into historic lands, a lot of borders would change.
Lithuania and Poland have no claim to these lands as they gave it up centuries ago to get help from Prussia against Swedes.
Germany gave up all the claims to any non current territories post ww2.
You own countries probably historically belonged to someone else so I would pipe down with historic claims if I were you.
You might give others ideas on getting back what is their.
Kaliningrad is in fact Königsberg and thus should be separated from Russia. My Idea would be the recreation of the Grand Duchy of Prussia organized in the same manner as the principiality of Andorra. The co-dukes of Prussia would be the bishop of Telsiai and the Czech president. Well this is just an idea, but a way has to be found to solve the Königsberg issue.
There's no issue in Kaliningrad. It's Russian, period
@@felipe-viborПоживем - побачим.

The next step for NATO should probably be an offer by Turkey to allow the remains of the Russian Black Sea Fleet to exit the theatre via the Dardanelles. They will do Russia no good in the sea of Azov, and can await the scrapyard more usefully in Vladivostok or Murmansk , where they can contribute to the facade of Russian sea power. After that, Finland can begin negotiations with Russia for the return of Karelia and the Kola peninsula, Putin having exhausted his military capacity in a fruitless adventure further south.
