@@feedyourmind6713 Russia lies. A nuclear power is not scared of a defensive alliance. And *if* you were, you would not provoke them by attacking your neighbour. This war has proved Russia is not scared of NATO (but NATO is terrified of Russia to the point of being paralyzed) - it does not like NATO because it's dreams of expansion are made much more difficult when land they have set their sights on joins the alliance.
@@alexmiyamoto4832 That you feel NATO is merely a defensive alliance...they call themselves a "crisis management organization", which means the can, and have, operated in offensive actions.

Very intelligent people and good analysis. Russia really is a threat to its neighbouring countries, let alone because the regime is very corrupt and half of the world's neo-nazis reside within that regime. I came to this video from a documentation called "The Soviet Story".
This comment is 11 years old and look what has happened since then Russia has interfered with elections and referendums, 2014 annexation of Crimea and now a war in Ukraine Putin really has gone off the rails
Even Reagan can't do anything as long as Putin is willing to use nuclear weapons. Unless the world invents a technology that can intercept a nuclear missile fired by an enemy reliably mid flight, Putin like dictators would continue to disrupt the world very badly.
@@HeartistMurali Do you really believe that Russian Federation is more willing/brave to nuke Western than the Soviet Union was in 1980s? Believe me, they are bluffing. I know them well. I’m a Pole.
@@HeartistMurali Putin is too terrified to even eat or drink from an unchecked source, he's hired a bunch of food/drink testers to rule out poisoning ffs. If he's so petrified of personal harm, why do you think he'd sign his own death warrant by launching a nuclear exchange? :D Get real.
In 1914, when the First World War broke out, the Ukrainian lands were split between the Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires. Ukrainian soldiers fought on both sides of the conflict; 4,500,000 Ukrainians fought in the Russian armies and 250,000-300,000 in the Austro-Hungarian armies
And we see this emotionality of conflict rearing its ugly head in the China's recent chestbeating over American ships being allowed to dock in Taiwan, or calling Australia 'racist'...as Dr Hanson says: people and nations do stupid things, and dictatorships are more likely to be stupid than democracies. China is a kinda of representative dictatorship, so at least in that there is some hope of sanity breaking through at some point.
@formless777 well america has never ceased to surprise me. what are americans going to do, coz the next time they will be attacking iran, and i wonder now under what pretence!!!
I must say I agree with his stance. The Russian leadership could do much better for their country if they are cooperative with the West. Unfortunately the country is run by a former-KGB-officer who still has imperial aspirations that the country cannot sustain in the long run. Although with our stupid Georgian enterprise we just strengthened this notion that there is still a competition between Russia and the West, while both sides have no rational reason to follow such a competition.
Have you revised this opinion in the last ten years? Do you now understand that the west has never wanted to co operate with Russia, and only to dominate, and that Russia's position is entirely defensive?
@@alexrush3857 his point has been made by Russia in the last 10 years, not sure how you can view it any differently - well I am sure of how actually: propaganda.
@aeronuk1 There are *black* Jews. That doesn't strike you as the least bit profound? A Jew is anyone who cries out to Yahweh and takes part in the covenant. I could become a Jew, if I were so inclined. Any individual can be grafted into the family of God. The Khazars were just smart enough to do it en masse. They have equal claim to "Palestine" as any other Jew.
Who said that the "new world order" was a good thing? And if you believe in democracy, you should not dislike putin. Not saying he was necessarily elected (since I dont believe true/fair elections are held anywhere in the world) but compared to many world leaders we celebrate, the russian people that I met in Russia and abroad actually like Putin and are happy that he came to power.
Putin is apparently still angry 11 years later in 2022!
Hes a hitler. I never was fooled by him.

Mire fear than anger. They've very specifically said NATO/Western expansion was concerning them.

You don't ally with somebody who wants to destroy other members of the organization.
It's not good to say Russia is evil and USA is a angel 😇 or what.
Not really, thats just what people who watch too much movies and spend too much time on the internet says.

@PikPobedy I'll be sure to remember that next election. I'm thinking that Canada needs to be cut loose so it can stand on it's own two feet.
I hope someday romanov will reclaim the russian throne. russia is for the romanovs.
nato and russia should be allies and brothers.no instead some people would rather drive a wedge between our people.
It's really sad to see Victor Davis Hanson being so on point back then, to now being a Trump apologist. Age it seems makes most people regressive.
