      Easy way just stop sanctioning Russia that starves the masses in Russia which forces them to nationalism, conduct social movements among youth in Russia and connect the Russian people to European social movements automatically they see no need authoritarian government. When you say Russia all time the as enemy people will be defensive of their country just attack all ruling MPs.

    Returning to these slightly older string of videos in the current day in age of the Ukraine-Russian standoff issue is really starting to draw a clearer picture of what has been happening for the last century or so in Eastern Europe, where I have struggled to quantify the "good vs bad".

      As far as i´ve come to understand, both sides are at fault, ( some more, some less, in some way or another). Both Europe and USA have their own interests, that as any state, country or union are very entitled to have and to pursue. I would say that the western interests are overall more benefic to the world and benign to society as a whole. Russia's interests in other hand are more focused inwards and to certain elites.
      Where the West failed was to de-escalate, very well known "worries" from the kremlin in regards of pursuing their agenda no matter what, and where Russia failed, was to cope with neighbor countries to have their own free will to join whom ever they want and to respect their sovereignty due to fears of the past. Also, all this is handy to Putin´s plan to close weak point in Russia that the former USSR controlled in the past. As many are saying, I dont think Putin wants the USSR back, but he wants the same strategic locations that allowed the Soviet Union the strenght geopolitaclly that it had. Putin also failed in this, instead of adapting his own country to cope with geopolitically weaknesses through more openess to the west, more transperency and social politics to his own people and foreign people he and the kremlin have instaed to deal with it by strengh, intimidation and military action. The west has failed in coping and validating russia's concerns in a way to avoid conflict and russia's has failed misserably in changing its own social-political system that will inevitably be its downfall. If russia had since Gorbachev a more favorable and friendly atitude towards the west relations between the two would be far more healthier.
      Also, I bet you will love this:

      @@jabloko992 It's not my game. I don't care about it and don't play it, just stating facts. Videos, where a lot of people comment, get paid better. It's called engagement and it's the reason why many youtubers ask you to write comments under the video. All the people complaining are literally proving that there is no bad publicity. If 10% more people comment under the videos with a Raid Shadow Legends ad, even if it's just to complain about the game, that is good for Shirvan. And the sponsors will see growing numbers of engagement when their ad is being played and offer more sponsorships. It's not like there is someone at the Raid Shadow Legends office reading youtube comments on small channels to figure out whether people are saying good or bad things about the game. if you want to stop the ads, you should stop watchign the videos that, not like/dislike, not share and not comment.

      Bottom line is that the game on the Central European plains is a zero-sum game and Russia knows this.
      Do you know that Poland will not be extending any contract for natural gas with Russia and plans to become independent in that matter within 2-3 years? It's an enormous shift.
      Also: look at all the disinformation that Russia spreads all the time including the COVID19. They send aid to Italy while spreading fake news about Poland ceasing the transport or not allowing the planes to fly over Poland. It's meant to harm perception and create an atmosphere where Russia is seen as a reasonable good guy and Central European counters as obsessed idiots.
      Goal: lift the sanctions and get back to BAU.

      ​@Ring-a-ding-ding baby As a Serbian I'm very content with my government. I like that my president and people in government slowly turn back on our true enemy, Germany and satellite states of Croatia and Albania. Also, it is good that some west poltroons have less than 5% approval with ordinary people. Only true friend of Serbia is Russia who never in our history, which is 6x older than some baby states lifespan (read US), attacked us, and which people died defending us, with they bones scattered all around our land, and they never took anything from us, like EU and US, who robbed us of our land in south. As we ordinary Serbians are alive our Brothers from Russia will have dedicated ally..

But sure if Serbia and Turkey decide to make an alliance they'll spin history as they see fir. Serbia received large investments from Turkey in the last decades.
