There's alot of inaccuracies in this videos regarding Putin's early history.
*** early history*** is largely immaterial - what is material is contained in PUTIN'S *Munich speech in 2007*
Such as?
So I've noticed
@@as7riversuch as everything. Lol. This man is jumping to conclusions and making baseless statements
Its heavily narrativised.
bro why didnt you point out that nato said no to have him join
That fact doesn't serve his narrative.
He seems somewhat biased. Idk Putin’s endgame but as an American and decent human being; I really can’t blame him for not wanting to fall in line with the US or being tired of having the US constantly hold Russia down.
@@hopefernandez3770 By "Holding Russia down," you mean not allowing them to continue to invade, destroy, and steal the land of the sovereign nations around him? The Russian propaganda machine is exposed and it's expiration date is showing.
Why don’t you prove that actually happened? Or do you base all your facts on anecdotes by Putin
Yank propaganda
No mention of americas promise to not move nato one inch toward russia. It does proveide a little context
There's no real need to mention it, since this promise was never made.
there was no such promise.
also, putin has done a really really good job at making other countries WANT to be a part of nato 😂
before this war you wouldnt find a single random swede who wanted anything to do with nato. today theres a majority amongst swedes who wants that membership.
same goes with finland.
if putin didnt invade georgia and ukraine we would have a different reality, but ya can never get that into your stupid russian heads
@andreslast2braincells332 смысле обещяние не было дано? нет, было дано, даже стенограмма есть.
What do you mean the promise wasn't made? no, it was given, there is even a transcript.
cos we never promised that and peope keep making this up?
and since we could kick their ass why would we even say something so dumb?
Nice one propagandist, this promise never happened
Would love to see a non bias take...
Cheers for the heads up
Thank you. I've been curious about Putin. I'm an American honestly getting tired of, "Orange man bad," "Putin bad" propaganda. I find Putin intriguing. I started researching him and from what I've learned he seems like a man who loves God and His country. Nobody is perfect but I love manly men as God designed and he's one! I can't stand how people say oh he was a spy 😅 So What! Our own Govt spies on us. I see no difference. The more I learn of Putin, the more respect I have for him and Russia 🇷🇺
@@gol4695Indeed ❤
This guy has his own story, and he left a lot of stuff out.
Correction KGB didint find Putin he went there him self before institute and they said "we dont have plase for you now" but they advice him to go study law. After Putin graduate from law institute KGB came to him with invitation.
Your right. This video is full of inaccuracies.
Totally biased and full of it.
I heard Putin really like Soviet version of James Bond and wanted to be a Agent......but was on papper and Coffee-duty the first years. 😊
@@janicewilliamson2534 I fully agree and especially wiht Euromaidan. In the Donbass manu Ukrainian soldiers deserted or join the revolution and most of the weapons came from local armory's that were abandon. Yes russian did help them wih supplys bust most were from there former government. Locals gave hand account testimony's that local weapon wasnt used since there was a scarcity of ADA equipment almost none existent.
Huge biase and inaccuracies.
Thank you for th effort bu still very one sided presentation of the story. You are not a "mainstream" media. Why would you need to speak like them? Here we expect al least partial freedom to be unbiased and to be able to seek/speak the truth.
100% I am even not completing this
sorry does this not meet the Kremlins standards? geee well I can't wait for the RT version
RUclips guildlines prohibit talking about the more morbid crimes of Putin, so films about him can be seen as biased towards him.
Well said

Saying the Kursk had "minor technical difficulties" is like saying that JFK had a minor headache.
Headache due to an extreme case of mibraine.😢
Was a 8mm migraine
its not like he is the only one that is lying ... i mean i know nothing else from the american presidents..
Haha it was more of a shit show than the battle of Kursk. But yeah, Putin used to be called the butcher of grozny for years before he was widely known. He's keeping up the tradition of Russia getting curbstomped abroad, Japan, Finland, Ukraine, Afghanistan, they always lose as the aggressor hahaha. The people saved the day in WW2 in spite of Stalin.
hahaha, JFK was the last politician worthy of respect.
howeverm im someone whos a strong advocate of the notion that no one and nothing should be exempt of satire, the target of jokes, criticism etc
You're off on his early history. Putin got sent to Dresden specifically because he was not outstanding among his peers at the KGB. The more favored roles were in Leningrad and Moscow. If you were sent to a different country, you wanted to be in the capitol, not a secondary city. At this point in his career, Putin was somewhat floundering. It wasn't until the fall of the wall and him standing down the crowd outside the embassy that we get the first idea that this guy is maybe a little more than meets the eye.
Absolutely agreed. Putin viewed (views?) his placement in Germany as a major black eye. He never wanted the defensive counterintelligence role. He wanted to do the really high level work that was based out of Moscow & Leningrad.
@@Doubt-us7tv I thought _The New Tsar_ by Myers was very well done.
Totally off on his history! Agreed 💯

Don't ever expect to see any RUclips documentary speaking 100% facts about Putin .. RUclips doesn't allow that😂
Putin is a patient man. He waited till Prigozhin and Wagner leadership felt secure enough to all get on a single plane inside Russia, and BOOM, Wagner problem solved. Don't underestimate this man, he is a formidable adversary.
he s reckless and has doomed russia. It should be an industrial, financial and military powerhouse with deep reserves. Instead it's a pariah that needs to find friends with frigging NK; the economy is in shambles, the industrialization inexistant and 70 years of military stockpiles are being destroyed in the mud of Ukraine.

As a Canadian, I'd rather have a leader like Putin than Trudeau the spinless clown who's destroying my country since 2014.
I didn't know that Canada is sanctioned by the biggest economies on the planet and is trying to annex land that don't belong to them. If you think that Trudeau is worse than a dictator who don't care about his people then you should seek help.

Maybe if the video was about Ukraine, and not Putin, that would be the case.
I like how only ppl outside Ukr know about interference of west, yet when u fact check with a local Ukrainian, they tell that businesses refused to serve if u spoke Ukrainian not russian in Kiev. 😂😂

That line "world wars have been started over less" is a classic! Seeing as there's only been two world wars, lets check that. WWI: The immediate trigger for the war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary on June 28, 1914, in Sarajevo, Bosnia, by a Serbian nationalist named Gavrilo Princip. WWII: Germany invaded the sovereign nation of Poland after repeatedly committing acts of aggression against other sovereign nations and abandoning the limitations imposed after WWI.
a lone incident of someone shooting down an airline over a conflict zone... Not so much 🤣
Can't wait for the Netflix adaptation where he is played by Idris Elba or Djimon Hounsou.
More like Dwayne Johnson

He would be played by Chris Rock and slapped over and over again on stage.

For people interested in Putin's view of multipolar world and in general his goals and how he sees US - check out his Munich speech in 2007. His idea of multipolarity isn't something born recently, seems like he was carrying this idea for a while.
💯 %. I'd say about 95% of civilian Americans haven't got a clue that the administration is playing War Games with a military that's never known war, communism, or even conflict for fcks sake. With the US military as weak as they are under whoever is really in charge, the regular citizens, and China as a brother in arms?! What chance do WeThePpl have? We who don't hate other countries or want war with anyone, or have zero trust in our Gov't and who just want to live freely.

How do "dummy" torpedoes detonate, prematurely or otherwise?
Huh?
I have no clue but maybe the engines which push them through the water malfunctioned leading to an explosion?
As far as I know, the assumed theory is that the fuel mixture of the torpedo exploded. The explosives themselves are rather inert as long as there is no sufficient detonator, but the fuels are highly volatile and reactive. A simple leak and contact with a wrong material can cause a runaway reaction, maybe not a detonation but a very fast deflagration, which in a confined space becomes an explosion by itself.

I was born in 1999. I can't wrap my head around the concept that someone has been president of a country for as long as I'm alive.

22:08 This is so made up it's literally unreal. Especially the 'guy who worked on atomic bombs overheard about a random patient's gamma spikes' lol.
Exactly
yup, gossip not factual.
I grew up in a communist-leaning family so it's hard for me to not be biased towards Russia if that makes any sense. I often find myself falling into fanatism and I always try to correct that tendency. Having that said I don't think it's entirely accurate to say that the Ukraine war is Russia vs Ukraine. I'd argue it's already a World War albeit by proxy. The amount of support Ukraine is receiving from many countries around the globe is astounding and I'm sure Russia is getting more help than what they'd like to admit. The whole situation is concerning because it's very close to being a direct confrontation just like in the old days. I can only wish a direct confrontation never happens.
Yea, it's easy for me not to be biased towards an authoritarian government actively committing genocide
@@Dankatron69usa: 👀
As an American who loves his country, there’s no doubt in my mind that this is a proxy war between East and West. It was provoked on both sides and I won’t legitimize my presidents solution to the invasion. I wouldn’t even legitimize biden as a leader. Maybe in a better world where we have a coherent president there could of been a diplomatic route or at least a cease fire.
Finally one that can actually understand both sides. The thing is, you'd only get this mindset if you were brought up on the Eastern Bloc. NATO idealists don't even try to understand Russia. I'm surprised they are so afraid of Russia given how small Russia's economy is, but still resillient that couldn't get crippled by sanctions.
The whole "Free" world is backing Ukraina and as of today there's only 23 million people left there. Not to mention America stopped their financial aid as they ran out of money. haha.
Well Russia is certainly not a communist country...and Putin doesn't want to return Russia to communism..that would not be in the interest of his regime. His flavour of revanchism is something totally different. I dont understand your bias to something that no longer exists.
Cant wait for Gracieies kitchen and maybe some Sams if its clean Ill take a peak back there.

An interesting video touching on many events in Russia. But very often some events are not disclosed, for example, conspiracy theories about “Ryazan Sugar”, a submarine (the question was asked immediately after the joke and in the original it is clear how almost immediately Putin begins to talk about it seriously), about the causes of the war in Georgia, when Russian UN peacekeeping troops were attacked first by Georgian troops. An interesting video containing a lot of useful information, but the one-sidedness of the position and all these missed moments created specifically to show Putin in a certain light are very noticeable.
And when I talk about missed moments in the video, I don't mean a small number, there are a lot of them throughout the entire video. Living literally in the modern agenda of Russia, living through some of these moments in real time and having been on opposite sides of the barricades, all this, as if a special understatement, is very noticeable. As politicians say, the best lie is the one that contains only the truth.
This is clearly biased one sided video and very deceptive. Just look at USA 🎉🎉🎉🎉 all corruption and running government in Ukraine and war in Donbass. Seized democracy in USA it is overturn of a government in USA war in Iraq . Excuse me pardon my frennch

That would be nonsense. If Russia doesn’t play the evil, who will? They are the ultimate evil and the US is the eternal good one. They can’t belong to the same band 😄
For that, Russia first needs to be a democracy.
He is telling the story from western perspective.
@@user-ms9nh2gw4w He is telling the story from the perspective that Putin CLEARLY stands against all of the personal liberties that the west values. Putin runs Russia as a terrorist. His leadership holds no true freedom for his people. He stands against personal liberty and freedom of speech. He poisons, jails, and murders his political opponents. It's not told from a "Western perspective," its just irrelevant for Putin to join NATO if he stands against the values of the NATO countries.

I feel like Putin's past with the Mafia, and years inbetween Germany and becoming a political figure, are important and there is material about it.

One minor issue about the NATO membership countries under Clinton. There was no “idealism” with Clinton but simple politics. What we now know from State Department communications during 1995-1996 was that Clinton was basically forced to admit Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. Poland threatened to develop nuclear weapons and the others appeared with John McCain and threatened to campaign against Clinton in 1996. Clinton tried to assuage Yeltsin, and didn’t announce the news until Yeltsin won the election. Ultimately, it was political expediency that lead to the NATO membership.

When some westerners get's intoxicated by Hollywood movies so much thinking all their speculations are facts, I don't expect so much, but damn, people should travel a bit out of America and countries that speaks only English. Why the heck you don't go to Russia to learn about Russia instead of watching a video of someone who's not even close to a historian, someone who maybe never put his leg on the Russian soil.
Thanks for doing "RUclipsr voice" tastefully and subtly, not over enunciating every single word. It makes watching some other history and geopolitics channels nearly impossible...

Dude this entire video was horseshit. It’s one of the worst videos on Putin/russia/Ukraine. Completely bypasses 95% of whats really going on and gave a half ass assessment you could get off google. This was dog shit. Honestly probably written by AI
His view, has a lot of truth in it, but it left a lot out, and it is also very one sided. This is one view on the matter. But if you believe that this is completely objective and without any bias then you are naive my friend. I am not a fan of Russia, and sure as hell against their criminal war in Ukraine. But that should not be an excuse for being complacent and letting yourself being pulled in a one-sided biased view and pointing the finger at Russia for everything bad and wrong. I understand that it is emotional and that it is comfortable to see Putin and Russia in auch a way, as evil. But we have to ask ourselves is this really the objective truth, or is there more to the story. I am not a geopolitical expert but I am well read on this topic. I for one believe that the matter is much more complex than presented here. I believe that the US foreign policy, military industrial complex and Nato played a role in estranging Russia in order to build them up as their enemy once again. I think that it is naive to believe that the West did nothing wrong and just wanted a democratic Russia and help the surrounding countries without any ulterior motives or agenda. That they never did anything to antagonize the Russians but tried to help them the best they could. I cannot believe that especially after reading "the grand chessboard" by Brezinski the former foreign policy adviser of many presidents and chief architect (with Kissinger) of Americas strategy for the late cold war and after, among other reputable books and authors. Please research the topic more in depth to get a more nuanced and objective perspective on the matter, instead of those one-sided biased views clearly with an agenda. I am not saying you should not watch channels like this one, but you should be knowledgeable in order to understand where they are coming from/where their bias lies/what they are leaving out (on purpose or because of bad/superficial research). There are so many channels talking about geopolitics with authority even though they hardly read one book about it but just repeating mainstream media talking points. There are many really knowledgeable and good channels/authors out there, please check them out. If you are really interested in understanding/getting a grip on the matter you should start by reading the book I mentioned above; "The grand chessboard" by Brezinski. That is a good introduction into the psyche of the US/Western foreign policy elites and their strategy to deny Russia any power and remain the undisputable global superpower. For all the critics saying that I am somehow anti-American, I can assure you I am not. I am in favour of US global dominance. I am a realist, so I see the benefits but also the problems/failures of politicians/industries/agencies and I cannot be in favour of a one-sided analysis whereby the entire responsibility is given to the other side without any reflection what so ever. That I cannot do.
Subscribed!!
It is a very one-sided documentary. There is no mention of how well Russia's economy is doing, despite all the sanctions. No mention on how low NATO's weapons stock piles are. He kept on mentioning how close NATO are, yet their contries are in recession (Germany, England, USA). No mention of how Ukraine is already destroyed and is only surviving due to western help. No mention on how the rouble was the best performing currency in 2022. No mention that the 2014 massacre in Ukraine was an American backed coup. No mention of how the West wanted a regime change in Russia, but got regime changes in Italy, England (x2) and soon Germany instead.
This was a biased documentary to make Putin look exactly the way American wants the world to view him.

Correction, Christianity was not imported in the Slavic world from Constantinople via Kyiv. It was imported via Bulgaria in 870. That is more than a century before the Christianisation of Kyivan Rus in 988 and around seven centuries before Russia was created in 1547. Bulgaria is also where the Cyrillic alphabet was created and where many of the initial original church scripts were translated from Greek to Bulgarian.

Rus is not Russia. The Grand duchy of Moscow under Ivan the Terrible, actually under his grandson, became Tsardom of Russia. You have also stolen the title Tsar from Bulgaria as the first Tsar in the world is Tsar Simeon I The Great of Bulgaria. You are welcome, Russian troll.
@@user-bq8id1qv1qRus isn't russia. The fact that peter I proclaimed empire and renamed his country to russia in 18th century after annexing Ukraine (Rus lands) doesn't make russia Rus. It's another imperialistic historical revisionism from russia politics.
From origin Kyiv was a Swedish viking city conquered by Volodomyr. That explains the colours of the Ukraine flag.
@@user-bq8id1qv1qRussians originated from the Kyivan Rus tribes that settled in the region and what made Russians a distinct ethnicity was two centuries of being servants of the Mongolian Empire, instead of fighting the mongols they submitted to invaders and earned Mongolians trust to control a chunk of the territory until the Mongolian empire weekend and they took over the church they had been governing for mongolians that was much larger than the small territory the Rus controlled when Mongolians arrived. Understanding Mongolian war fighting and empire building tactics along with their Christian/European heritage as a strength, over the centuries they kept conquering and expanding territory to the East, west and south including parts of other weakened empires such as iranian qajar and Ottomans, specially where there were a Christian population as natural allies. Then you had USSR that was aided with US and UK to further expand the empire after the allies WWII victory
8:14 you missed the opportunity to explain how he got into Yeltsin favor. Basically he sabotaged him and than “did him a favor”
Can you explain it in a little more detail, please?
Yes do explain
I saw documentary that said he worked in one of the prisons or in charge of one ?
really superb documentary!
"Why is he actually weaker than ever" wtf
bc its the narative in the video and he cant say hes not bc then some ppl would question all the stuff he sayed before
I mean, look at his health: he’s got cancer. How he’s wrong? Even ruzzian propagandists can him for action and speak out on his weak attitude. I watch ruzzian tv every day, he had better times than the last 5 years
@@Aggressive_architect XD surely he does
Same as
Parkinson
Heart problems
and all other bad illnises the world has to offer
Why?
well bc he has to... i mean he is the bad guy, right?
odd thing, the West internally values democracy (political multi polarity), but on the geopolitical stage it opposes multi polarity (geopolitical democracy). Strange times for definition of democracy.
I agree
👍
Facts. It’s probably to disguise their real agenda NWO.
These are just some thoughts and questions about Vladimir Putin that I been wondering about and as far as the Christmas gift bows I like blue for boys and red for girls?

Great video!
Gotta pay the storage space 50 and get stuff I need from Amazon.
As a Norwegian, I remember Kursk so well. We wanted to help. We really did. There was nothing underhanded about it, just offered to send some of the best folks and equipment. We are kinda sorta good with that stuff, done it for a while now. But no.

Grew up in the Soviet Union and immigrated in 1995, crazy time those early 90's. Wouldn't want my kids living my childhood for sure.
Comparing Russia of today with that of 1995 is an Insult to humanity. Thanks to Putin Russia has become one of the most developed countries.
Really? I think all you Russians/former Soviet People are awesome! Some of my favorite people in the world.
@@hught6885 2 things can be true at the same time. Former Soviet people can be awesome, and the former Soviet republics could have been hellholes.

Very good lesson
Your commentary needs to be shouted from the rooftops - especially in lieu of recent events. Thank you for a factual and holistic report!
Not very factual very one sided. lots of western media used as sources is very obvious.
I feel a snow job with this guy...was the script written in Langley?
mother russia thanks you comrade

About the part where you said Putin seemingly let him escape…sooooo…lets just say he didn’t escape.
Maybe the same guys that planted those sacks were the same ones that put the pipe bombs in front of the R.N.C and d n c on january fifth
This guy is crazy, why did he grinned when he was talking about the people of the submarine?

. . How is JFK related to the current crisis in Ukraine? . . The character of an individual or nation is measured by their works . . development of gold-backed currency and a legitimate trading network is one of the most dangerous activities that any elected leader can attempt . . JFK is the last president to have the courage to do the same in this country -- issuing silver-backed certificates that would retain their value and replace the dollar over time . . effectively eliminating the Fed and restoring a free and independent US economy with real currency. Very few other nations have had control over their money supply . . These are -- Libya and Gadaffi the "terrorist" had created gold-backed currency and a legitimate fund and trading network on that basis to support African nations and replace World Bank IMF loan sharking schemes that bankrupt these nations to maintain the status quo . . Syria, a formerly free and peaceful nation in control of it's own economy and money supply . . and Russia -- also in the process of creating gold-backed currency and a trading network with other BRIC nations -- real currency and a free economy as the true litmus test of freedom -- something that we haven't had the courage to attempt since JFK . . as any means must be found to create crisis and war in the region as US/Western networks installed the current Ukrainian regime in 2014 and have provided military training and weapons since at least 2016. Eight long years during the bombing of the Donbass region and the murder of thousands of ethnic Russians -- proves Russia's efforts to find any other solution to this . .
. . And that's about it -- all others enjoy as we do the benefits of legalized counterfeit "fiat" currencies that funnel the wealth of human exchange out of our economies so that we don't retain what we produce -- in the greatest of resources -- the human resource. Let's get comfortable now and turn on our television . .
@@stopitnow7762 Nothing but facts in this doc. Where's the propaganda?
And now Prigozhin has died in a "plane" crash, putin ended him like everyone else he has ended.
You are missing Prigozhin? You think the world is better with him? You are insane, do you even know who he is?
@Jeed92 nope just stating facts russia kills whoever it wants, look at the latest news, prig was a pig
"Putin could only see one threat" Then a fucking soup commercial plays
Why do videos from 2008, when youtube and digital cameras where in full use, look like it could have been recorded in the 1960's?
It’s been a month and parts of this have already aged like milk. We live in interesting times.
we do indeed not that this guy didn't discredit himself the second he said that putin is responsible for destabilizing the world while being from the country that withdrew from the anti ballistic missile treaty and is edging nuclear war for money all while gaslighting Russia by saying that they (the russians) are responsible for the breakdown of global order at the same time Russia itself was willing to negotiate the entire way through this ordeal so long as it meant that Ukraine couldn't join nato of course probably not any more now that the Russians are winning
@@kfchundur4087 Except that the "negotiation" from the Russian side right before the Ukraine invasion consisted of demanding for NATO forces to leave all of Eastern Europe. The demands were deliberately unrealistic, so that Putin could invade while keeping the pretext of being willing to negotiate.
Yeah, for those who know more of the history of the Russia-Ukraine war, this video conveniently omits America's role in the 2014 coup that provoked the war.
Tell me more
Pretty interesting look at what this guy shaped up to be through connections being so damn strong, just shows you. Also out of curiosity, song at 35:20, anyone got a name? Heard this before being used on numerous war videos. Great video!
I was born in Leningrad (but was living in both Russia and Ukraine until 10 years old), and I lived in Leningrad/Saint-Petersburg, where Putin is from, for 27 years before leaving Russia for good. I was in middle school when houses were blowing up, and you can guess throughout all my life I was watching very closely into Putin, his circle and everything related to it because it had direct impact on my life. Video is very good, even though to really dig into Putin and understand him, can't really put everything into 1 hour, would require series with at least 10 hours of intense coverage. In short, Putin is the sleekest phony in the world. He is all about career through treachery, his deep connection to the criminal world / Russian mafia that indeed is still ruling the country with him as the head. We can see how he is getting more and more delusional, unlike his Chinese counterpart Xi. Putin's invasion into Ukraine was his fatal mistake. Idk why I suddenly felt the desire to share it personally with you, maybe because I was not sure, what you meant exactly saying : "just shows you" (?) Could you be so kind to elaborate, what exactly did you meant. Is it shows us that connections are the most important to get into power? Or maybe more than just that. Thank you in advance, looking forward to your reply.
@@sirojajam55ты ошибаешься. Украина 8 лет бомбила Донбасс. Устраивала фашистские марши. Устроила геноцид русских. Наращивала военный потенциал, с помощью Америки, конечно. Минские соглашения не соблюдались, а ведь Россия верила, что Украина перестанет обстреливать мирные города, но все бесполезно. На Донбассе мирные жители и военные просили Россию защитить их. Вот и пришла Россия на помощь.
@@---Svetlana--- Putin der Retter & Rächer😂 Wie in Moskau 1999
Schon mal etwas von False-Flag- Taktiken usw gehört ?
@@---Svetlana--- Dear Svetlana, there was first the Russian invasion to Donbas, killing of civilians, then Ukraine tried to protect its borders and people and then there was bombing of Russian soldiers at Donbas. If there was no invasion from Russia, there would be no war.
@@sirojajam55 Wow you did great research on Putin, how much research did you do about Azov Brigade? Did you research how much oil you took but didnt pay? Did you research what happened before the invasion regarding a coup financed by the USA (Maidan protests).
Stop trusting propaganda, get diffrent perspectives. Putin has not started this war, what started the war, was that Ukraine glorifies Nazis and attacks Russians. Imagine your leader is a jew and your trained military consists of 10 - 15% neonazis. Ukraine is absurd. And so was the war on Donbas. Also that the weaker country rejects peacetalks is beyond me and ukrainians have to suffer this dumb decision.
Idk but I wanna leave next month then its either he wants to help me this time or do that.
Hmm interesting but look what happened to Prigozhin
32:57 the moment when I realize you don’t understand what are you talking about and just reading the text
The funny thing is given all that he has done I still don’t disagree with most of what he says about the West. It’s not like they have clean hands either if we’re honest.
When your a powerful nation sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Even when it’s horrific and most who haven’t seen combat or what goes on behind the scenes will react badly to it. Understandably though. This world isn’t unicorns and fairy dust, bad things happen. Sometimes for the worse and sometimes for the good. Pick your poison. I agree that the US can be just as brutal. Every empire throughout history has done some messed up things to maintain power. Especially China and Japan. Their war was brutal.
Life really has always been and always will be a big game of pick your poison. Yes, every empire and even every state or really any larger collective organsiation does evil things. The difference between "The West" and countries like Russia or China is "The West" will use violence to coerce people into unfavorable deals, whereas Russia will slaughter a population and loot their remains wholesale. As seen in the current conflict.
China is a bit more inspired by the American way in their international dealings, but is also fully committed to violently quelling any form of dissent. In my view of history these kinds of approaches work very well, moreso nowadays with today's technology and avenues of control, but I doubt it can work longterm. Might be wrong though. Can't say for sure.
But the Russian way is absolutely a dead-end to my eyes. As much as Ukraine may be a walking zombie - and a last line of defense before the biggest war in history - propped up by Western influence, Russia due to the unsuccessful nature of the "military operation" has fully transitioned into a puppet of the CCP. Russia is completely and utterly dependent on Chinese influence, and even the deal with Kim Jong-Un is just a Chinese arms deal in disguise.
@@YaBoyJakaLilJ yea but western media uses the "you cant invade other countries" card which is never used against America obviously, thats just so hypocritical and laughable. I get now why school education is low quality in US its just much easier to brainwash people with low knowledge of history and geography
The West and Russia both get up to skulduggery. But Russia continually makes a strong case against the West's actions (betrayal of UN charter, etc), whereas the US state dept just come across as imbeciles talking put of their arses
Like the US starting a war to invade a sovereign country steal oil over lies of WMD’s
They do somethin like 80% if their business with russia, if they had joined nato that woulda been cut off.
A straw with floating bubbles with the humans inside the bubbles the floated straight to the top of the water
Excellent work
