Your logic is wrong. "Ukraine was attacked because it have chosen western values and democracy and wanted to join NATO and russia invaded to stop it". The root problem about russia is in its imperialistic history (historical experience as an empire). Read about Holodomor if you dont understand what I mean. So, judging by your logic, Ukrainians had Holodomor because they wanted to join NATO ??? Actually Ukraine was attacked because it was OUT OF NATO (out of powerfull protection). Muscowy (the true name of modern russia and their first independent country after Mongols with their Golden Horde) and its history of becoming an empire lately is whole of blood and bones. Its empire is built an blood and bones of conquered bordering nations (which were all made into modern "russians"). Evrywhere russia goes - it erases history, culture or commit genocide if a conquered nation is resisting much (like they did to Ukrainians during 300 years of occupation). Muscowy ussia attacked Ukraine because they have such barbaric mentality (as I asaid because of their bloody historical experience as an empire). Why do they hate NATO and USA so much? Because they superior in cultural and civilizational ways and because they are STRONGER. Theya hate that NATO cant let them freely commit crimes futher in Europe like they could during the peak of their empire (Soviet Union times). If Ukraine was a part of NATO they wouldnt attack Ukraine but attacked someone else who is out of any protection (Georgia, etc.). If for example Latvia was not in NATO or Poland (and Ukraine was) then they would invade the ones who were out of NATO. They constantly WAGE WARS during all their history starting since Muscowy state (which is several centuries). Aggressive wars mostly (only a few were defensive - like when Napoleon or Hitler attacked them). But 1 thing I agree with is that russia is obsessed with Ukraine a bit more than with other neighbours\countries because they tried to steal our early middle-age history of Rus which collapsed after Mongols empire Golden Horde invaded (muscowians ussians even created their impostor names like Russian Empire or Russian Federation).

In WW2, they just really did something, helped, AFTER Japan attacked and after Germany declared war on the US. They decided to help Europe first, but still, it was after France was gone, the UK struggled, the USSR asked for help and needed help, Japan was far away, the USSR promised to help vs Japan and Germany overall was the bigger threat, should it establish it's control over Europe and especially over oil fields and resources in Northern Africa or the USSR 🤷♂️

You don't have a clue of wtf you're saying. Denial of something is not the same that knowing that crap is in fact happening.

Ukraine should ask if the ROK wants to send a battalion or two to get some combat experience against the DPRK soldiers, it would be blatant hypocrisy for the Russians to protest that... (Though I fully expect they would)
The ROK is probably playing the same role the US is, sitting by and watching its primary existential enemy expend its strength in a place that hardly matters to us. When this is over, hopefully Ukraine will still exist and I would strongly support its being allowed to join NATO to protect the rump, but the Russian land forces--the ones we once feared would roll over central Europe--would be decimated and spent. The ROK probably hopes to some degree so will North Korea.
If you watch AJP Taylor's excellent lecture series "How Wars Begin", he makes the point that the question about World War II isn't how it began, or even why it began, but *when* it began, for all the reasons you just went into, plus the Japanese shenanigans in Manchuria going all the way back to 1931. You can see the same pattern in WWI, with the various Balkan conflicts following 1908.
WWII began "traditionally" the 1. September 1939 with the German attack on Poland. Before that, first the Sudetenland and then the"rest of Czechoslovakia" was annexed, which was crucial because it provided the Panzer 38(t). Before that the Anschluss of Austria, and as a very first step, the Saarland (was demilitarised). None of these were wars but still serious crises that resulted in more territory and power for the Nazi. Meanwhile, the Spanish civil war was more or less independent, nevertheless German (Legion Condor) and some Italian troops were involved and used it to implement and test new tactics (same in Abessinia). So, "independent" war but still taking part in the overall development. The shenanigans in Asia were not limited to Manchuria either but covered the near, middle, and far East, specifically in Palestine, Persia, India and the (former) Dutch colonies were turmoils. One can look at these as independent events, or as elements of a complex cascade. If you want to set the start of WWII as the "point of no return", I'd go with the Munich conference dealing with the Sudeten crisis. (The peak of appeasement politics.) After that, an escalating war (in Europe) was no longer preventable.
@@noinfo5630 you are forgetting 1935 Anglo-German Naval Agreement, and that Brits more like fascist and Nazies then Bolsheviks so they denied a few time Stalin proposal of cooperation against Hitler.
About the US intervention in WW2 and what it means today: Remember, Germany declared war on the US after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbour. It was not like the US declared war on Germany and showed up because their allies there, especially the UK, were in great danger. The west took a VERY long time to really respond to Germany. Hitler took over in 1933/34, The war in spain started in 1936, Germany took parts of Czechoslovakia in 1938, *took Austria took Poland in 1939, Norway, Benelux countries and France in 1940, took Greek in 1941, attacked the USSR later in 1941 and declared war on the US november 1941, AND were fighting in North Africa since late summer 1940. Just AFTER that, the US took action. Before that, it was the UK with Canada, Australia and other commonwealth nations fighting in North Africa and trying to survive in europe. What we have now, is comparable to Spain, or Czechoslovakia, but they fight back. Imo if the US doesn't wake up, and other European countries, we will have the same situation again: An direct attack on the west, including the US, most likely over Taiwan, which the US HAS to defend for microchips, and CAN'T replace, in a few years. The new axis' forces that fight in Ukraine now, will get stronger, will train, and will attack Taiwan, South Korea and a weaker Ukraine, plus maybe even the Baltics, maybe even Poland, shouldn't the west defeat them in Ukraine now, and then make sure, Taiwan is safe... Edit: * Also after Ukraine, Russia will fight even more in Africa, like Germany after France, and they might take more of Georgia, because Russia needs money. Africa has mines. Russia would just do, what Wagner already does and Germans and Italy did
Oooooor we snap back to reality where Russia got forced into a war in europe because of west greedyness , no sane Russian would allow warmongers that dont care about internatinal law install military bases in Ukraine. And go back to selling gas to europe which is better business than war. Wake up from the fantasy land And they already lost, dno why are ppl saying if still, moving goalpost every 3 months. As far as i remember Zelensky is getting crimea back right.
I don’t think you get it bub. Hitler wasn’t 72 years old by then 1. The False Prophet Figures Century of ideo-materialism is over, people no longer are so motivated fight on behalf over-regulatory institutions that they don’t trust. When They can just move 2. And 3. A non nuclear Europe was already crippled by the previous war. America Focus on Taiwan Solely for China might just attack anyway once seeing The West over-preoccupied winning Ukraine
Remind me again how many billions of dollars in aid has Ukraine received? Stop acting like Russia is overwhelming it. This war is entering into its final chapter both side are jockeying for position to get the best bargain footing they can get. There will probably be two new countries made and mineral rites agreements.
Until Pearl Harbor the gov tried to hide an diminish the war in Europe they didn’t talk about it a lot on news papers/ radio and they stayed out of it purposely because they thought it had nothing to do with us . The start of ww2 was Germany taking Poland that’s why we are supporting Ukraine Russia is pretty much doing what the nazis did at the start of if, it leads to it the start of ww3 would be Russia trying to take Ukraine it’s history repeating its self essentially
Yes, I've thought this for several months now. Thank you, Paul. If you consider Russian activity around the world, including PRC activity in Africa and in the Middle East, and political interference in other countries, Zalushny is right.

@@KenC56mm Ukraine understands that this is a war between the dictatorships of the world (Russia, China, Iran, North Korea) against the Western democratic rules-based order established by America after WWII. If Russia succeeds in Ukraine, that is basically the green light to China to go for Taiwan, North Korea for South Korea, Iran for Israel, etc. - and they can trust the West won't sacrifice it's sons (and daughters, to be inclusive) when they can't sustain material aid for 3 years in a war others fight on their behalf.
@@johnjohnson3370 I remember the aftermath of 9/11 very well. It's how the current toxic political environment came to be that we are all contending with today in some way, shape, or form. To include the current situation in the Ukraine and that entire hemisphere of the world...
I personally am waiting for the 69th one.. but seriously, if you already have 2 world wars for reference, the cold war doesn't come close and it wasn't a world war.. There might have been some proxy conflicts but it isn't a world war
This is probably your most important video. Thanks for pointing this out. Only the ISW has also pointed out this parallel, which is getting more and more pertinent over time.
Depends on if they come to peace talks when trump gets in office. Trump is already planning on cutting support to Ukraine so if the war ends when Trump meets with Putin and Zelenskyy then there’s no WW3. But if they can’t come to peace and Trumps cuts support to Ukraine then other NATO countries will have to step up and at that point we will experience World War 3. Sad times we live in but I hope everyone reading this will thrive in this world and give back to the less fortunate 🙏
@@abramschwarz3142 That’s where you’re wrong, 9/11 was done by our own government. That was just a way for Bush to finish what his dad started.. You gotta keep up with things and make sense out of what’s true and what isn’t true..
Paul, to be fair/accurate there was no European nation that could have successfully challenged Hitler's moves into Czechoslovakia OR Poland. Britain's army was too small and very far away. France had plenty of reservists and on paper had some good weapons but was led by incompetent Generals with WW1 style thinking and still not close enough geographically to have any appreciable effect. None of these limitations apply regarding Ukraine. We have the weapons (in serious numbers), we have the logistics to deliver them but they re still being 'rationed'. This is nuts quite frankly !
Ah, and we want to do the same thing as the US did before. Isn't there a saying that goes like "doing the same thing and expecting different results". It never worked before it will not work now.
I think you meant defeat not conquer. Ukraine just wants to survive as they see fit. They don't want to conquer anyone. They were invaded. They don't even want to keep Kursk just trade it for their own territory.
And you didn't read enough history to realize that germany and russia both invaded poland in 1939... it was about 17 days apart because of distance the russians had to cover, but yeah, russia and Germany started WW2. Italy joined Germany alliance later after shit went down. Paul, do some basic history research before going on tangents.
Il y a plein de similitude avec ce qu'a fait un certain Hitler et un certain Poutine. Difficile de ne pasa faire le parallèle quand tu connais ton histoire
Russia began preparing for the genocide of Ukrainians even before the full-scale war started, according to Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine's military intelligence service HUR. The Kyiv Post reported on the matter. According to Budanov, Russia had ready-made plans at the outset of the invasion on how to eliminate individuals who might oppose the occupation. Learn more - Preparations for the genocide of Ukrainians by Russia […] included creating kill lists, deploying mobile crematoria, and planning mass graves, Budanov stated. Before the invasion, Russian soldiers were given lists that included, among others, teachers, war veterans, journalists, scholars, writers, pro-Ukrainian clergy, public figures, and local politicians. In the areas occupied by Russia, these kill lists were put into action. This was seen in practice in places such as Borodyanka, Bucha, Hostomel, Izium, and Mariupol.
Yes. In the 1930s the U.S. had a huge isolationist movement. WWI caused a lot of Americans to say they wanted no involvement in foriegn wars. Only Pearl Harbor changed that. There were fascist and communists movements then too. My father was in his 20s. He told me it seemed that the U.S. was on the verge of some kind of revolution or the other. Read about Heuy Long on Wikipedia. But we have no Great Depression now. Not yet anyway. But we have inflation but economics are not as bad as the Great Depression.
The sad part of this video is that after 3 years of war we still have to explain to people the consequences of letting Russia win in Ukraine To many people are to short sighted

Not so, I'm afraid, Stephen. A cold war is where the two sides oppose each other in a stand off. But Ukraine at the moment is fighting this in proxy because Putin already has his eyes on other European nations.
@@GeorgeGeorgeOnly the Cold War was fraught with proxy wars , the Middle East, Vietnam, the Russian occupation of Europe…the Iran Iraq war “ that is a horrifying one for you”.. it really wasn’t all that cold
The difference is that ukraine isn't a NATO ally. If north korea invades south korea or china invades taiwan, we will actually be stepping into the war and not throwing scraps to a different nation. Massive difference in supplying vs engaging.
idk, south korea and taiwan are also not part of nato. maybe closer aligned? but then again ukraine made it very clear it wanted to be part of the alliance for a while and we were giving them weapons and training and talking about future integration. i dont see why we would help those more than ukraine. sure the US might be more inclinded to help because of its strategic position in relation to those countries, but europe would be less likely to help, just like the US is helping less with ukraine rn
@@TheArcticWitch The US has the "Mutual Defense Treaty" of 1953 which is still in effect. It commits the US and South Korea to mutual defense if attacked. Ukraine there was no such treaty with, it was helped because they were obvious victims of an invasion and it was decided to help them. There just wasn't an OBLIGATION to. As for Taiwan unlike with Ukraine the US has long expressed its informal support and it would harm the US trustworthiness on the global field if it were to not defend it. In Ukraine there wasn't a longstanding support of that kind but the US still helped so it should be more likely with Taiwan. And that's not even counting the US interest in the situation, as I prefer to think in less selfish terms and more about what promises have been made and consequences it has for people to withhold support.
@@cyberneticbutterfly8506 didnt the us, uk and russia sign that treaty that promises to protect their international borders in exchange for ukraine giving up its nukes?
@@cyberneticbutterfly8506 Ukraine has Budapest memorandum. Which states that if Ukraine were to be invaded, Ukraine is to be provided security assurances. If US will abandon Ukraine, same exact thing will be expected might happen to every other ally. Also there were many independent security guarantees signed that US will be provide defense to other countries if they were threatened, in return those countries will not be developing nuclear weapons. Which means the moment US abandons Ukraine or not ensure that Ukraine to return it's territories, any other country can't rely on US and therefore must develop nuclear weapons for self defense.
However the Ukrainian loss is inevitable. The Ukrainian military has an extreme manpower shortage. Why do you think Russia is still gaining hundreds of square kilometers every single day? Ukraine does not have the resources to push them back. And in terms of resources I mean men. You can give them all the supplies they want but it’s not gonna stop the rapid depletion of the Ukrainian population.
Only 40K KIA, out of a population of 10 Million men aged 18-48...so Ukraine can keep fighting at this rate for another 250 years, and by then there would have been 10 generations worth of new men to replenish manpower. A surplus of 100 million men. So I disagree completely.
Russia lost the war the day Zelensky called for arms, not a taxi. Putin's original purposes all failed. Ukraine has won honour, admiration, and international support for reconstruction. Even if Russia takes most of the (damaged and depopulated by conflict) territory, the damage to Russian society and economy means there is a high chance governmental collapse will open the door to it being reclaimed. Against a vastly larger population, Ukraine has to run a war of attrition, trading as few soldiers as possible and ceding land if necessary to do so, but withdrawing in ways which set up killing zones. Russian troops are cannon-fodder per WW1; Ukrainian troops are valued. Ukraine's strategy and international sanctions make Russia's after-war situation worse every day it survives, increasing the likelihood of eventual Ukrainian recovery of the occupied territory.
Russia is getting 100,000 North Koreans for free because the West literally didn’t do anything after the first 10,000. These are more troops Kyiv has to fight and less rotations Ukrainian troops can take. This is not good, I don’t care what the KIAs are, casualties can be removed from the battlefield, they don’t have to be dead to be unable to fight. Russia can grind Ukraine down without having to settle for a negotiation if this policy in the West remains and is likely to remain.
The sumo wrestler analogy is spot on. That's how the Vietnam war was lost. The leader of the north even said that would happen - you (the south) are winning every battle, but we (the north) will win the war because we will never give up. He was right. I'm not saying the US should have stayed in Vietnam longer or left sooner. I'm just saying that his strategy was 100% correct. If you understand your enemy's weakness, there is a way to exploit that weakness.
I doubt Trump would cut himself ties to Putin, if anything and I don’t think Zelenskyy is the type of a guy who would simply give up his country in an instant. Ukraine is becoming a martyr at this point .
Among other things. These are not just the words of a former world-respected general. Zaluzhny is now the Ukrainian ambassador to Britain. A more than significant political figure.These words are worth listening to.
Probably the most important video you have made to this point, a clearly defined concern of where current events may lead to. Yes, there is a reason why history is so important.
Actually, in WWII the British were in France defending them. You might remember "Dunkirk" - they even made a movie about it. It was only America that refused to enter the war, no matter how bad Hitler was. They were forced into the war when Japan and Germany declared war on it. There was no dictatorship bad enough for USA to enter WWII, and yet hopefully that's a lesson USA has learnt from. Time will tell.
You see, the West didn't screw it only before 2nd WW. Churchill and Roosevelt made another mistake in Yalta at 1945, when they agreed to pass half of Europe to Stalin. Western called it the victory on acceptable terms. The other half of Europe called it a bloody disaster. England and the US had 2 plans on how to defeat Stalin right after Berlin had fallen, but they dropped it. There is an old Roman' saying: who flees from the battlefield will fight again'. And you are right - the whole world will fight again because our ancestors unfinished business in Rusia.
By that logic, aren't we at World War 50? The many proxy wars between the West and the soviet union alone are several dozen World Wars alone. Then there are the Gulf Wars, the invasion of Afghanistan, etc. A lot of conflicts after WWII had a global component to them.
Yeah, it's for future historians to figure out. I think China is more important. It's like second largest economy in the world. If it goes to war then we are really screwed. Even Ukraine war caused global food crisis and there was global energy crisis before that caused by pandemic. Wikipedia says that global energy crisis is over and global food crisis is still ongoing.
You have to understand that it is pure UE/US propaganda. Everyone, both "friends" and enemies of Ukraine know from the very beginning that the Ukrainian army cannot defeat the Russian army. The only battle in which Russia has no chance is lies and propaganda, they simply appeal to an incomparably smaller number of people than we do. We have crossed a line that no one has ever crossed: US weapons with US supervision are killing Russians in Russia!!! This is a game between the US and Russia, Ukraine, Ukrainians and suffering is irrelevant. If the goal of the US was peace and not war, the Ukrainians would never be in this situation.
This is clearly not WW3 yet and everyone who calls this WW3 already somehow wants WW3 to happen. If the conflict were to end in early 2025 with negotiations, no one in the world would say "Oh boy that was WW3 right there, I'm glad that's over with".
I'm of average intelligence but have worked in a prison environment for 25 years. US would be the "bitch" on the yard. We need to show ethical and moral strength. We must understand we are answering their violence.
I watch your stream regulary, why do Americans always conveniently forget, Britain fought alone for its survival in the 2nd world war for 2 years with little help from any one get your facts right please.
It's a sad reflection from the past the the 'free world' never gave enough support to the elected Spanish government. Can we learn from this and do better for Ukraine's struggle against another tyrant ? On the current basis the same mistakes are being made all over again.

À partir du moment ou la Charogne du Kremlin a permis à 10 000 soldats Nord Koréen à joindre ses rangs il a extensionné un conflit local en conflit mondial. Maintenant reste à savoir quel est le prochain pays à se joindre à la danse. From the moment the Kremlin's carrion allowed 10,000 North Korean soldiers to join its ranks, it has expanded a local conflict into a global conflict. Now it remains to be seen which country is next to join the dance.
The entire US Army was only 189,839 soldiers in 1939. There's no way it had 100,000 trained infantry to send to Spain in 1938. And, the air force was part of the Army then. Numbers are from the National WW II Museum. The Army did grow very quickly between 1940 and 1941, so it would have been possible to send 100,000 troops in a year after committing to it.
I can see this guy saying, "WW3 has broken out and you need my bubblegum to survive! Whether running for shelter or fighting mobs of refugees, my bubblegum will save you!".
I’m with you completely and I am damn mad at how ignorant the west is. The only time we get serious is when and only when we are attacked directly as in Pearl Harbor or World trade centers. 0:15
If Russia, China, N. Kore and Iran all attacked at the same time, that would be a handful, but who would jump in on the western civilization side? Japan, India, Australia, Israel, Europe, Australia. That would be a world war. So what would be the result? The Allies would be likely to win based on the numbers and their tech
Dude the Ukrainian men that dont go back and defend their homeland is shameful!!!! This Ukrainian men fighting this war are largely GenX dudes that remember Soviet times.
Everyone kept pretending really hard that everything was going to become OK, just by somehow working itself out, and it ended in very nearly "the end of the world" (which hardly needs those exclamation marks). I hope that's not what's in some history book about our present times, one foul day in a grim future, where people are already beginning to forget forever that once there was a brief time in history where humans had a go at liberty (etc) but only in a half-baked kind of way. (If the dictators finally win this time, they're going to make sure there's no next time. For some things it would literally be the end. They'll do things like take 1984 and turn it into an instruction manual.) No, that shouldn't happen, but you've shown clearly how real the risk is.
So you COMPLETELY ignore the democrats are the ones who FAILED to prevent this conflict in the first place. They are the deep state. They are the military industrial complex. They collaborate and operate with LIZ CHENEY. GO FIGURE. Open your other eye you blind peasant.
It may be of some reassurance to hear that at least two of Trumps cabinet picks for Foreign Policy are hardliners for continuing to support US allies, including Ukraine, as they believe that a Russian victory would be extremely costly for NATO, and thus primarily the US, in the long run. They do also believe that other NATO members need to make sure they are inputting the 2% of their GDP as agreed but they are for continuing support. I take a bit of reassurance from this, but these are fickle so it's hard to say.
You kidding me? Look at there absolute shit show mess the side you support is getting us into. I don’t remember us being this close to WW3 last time trump was in office.
Funny, he didn't point out nato weapons, technical support, and troops involved in the conflict. He didn't mention the 60 billion invested in the war from the west

There was never a ZERO possibility of nuclear war, it's higher now, for sure, but I keep calm 😊 From Czech 🇨🇿 mate PS: if you want to understand how Russian propaganda works, watch Vlad Vexler's video, Russian political philosopher living in UK called "20 years of propaganda knowledge in 15 minutes" ... Especially Slovaks and Hungarians should watch it, states, who are in NATO and EU, but still falling for Putin's BS!
I've agreed with much of what has been said in this video. Even back when the war started I recognized the similarities between this and the Spanish Civil War. Where Ukraine has sort of been taken advantage of as a testing ground for modern conventional warfare. Similarly to how Spain was in the late 1930s. It's a concerning idea that history is repeating itself in many ways and that Ukraine has turned into something of an appetizer for future conflicts and wars. However, another think that I think is worth noting is that the war in Ukraine also emphasizes the importance of having Allies before these wars break out.

In your analysis of the second world war you left out the Molotov- Ribbentrop Pact. Both Hitler and Stalin divided Eastern Europe -:. Stalin invaded the Baltics and Moldavia, while Stalin both divided Poland. A few months later, Stalin launched the winter war - a full scale invasion against Finland. Ironically, they were brought to a standstill. The second world war began as a joint venture.
My grandfather was planing to go to Spain with his buddies to fight the fascists in 1938. He could not go as he had broken his leg a week before they were suppose to leave and never made it.

Your logic is wrong.
"Ukraine was attacked because it have chosen western values and democracy and wanted to join NATO and russia invaded to stop it".
The root problem about russia is in its imperialistic history (historical experience as an empire). Read about Holodomor if you dont understand what I mean.
So, judging by your logic, Ukrainians had Holodomor because they wanted to join NATO ???
Actually Ukraine was attacked because it was OUT OF NATO (out of powerfull protection).
Muscowy (the true name of modern russia and their first independent country after Mongols with their Golden Horde) and its history of becoming an empire lately is whole of blood and bones. Its empire is built an blood and bones of conquered bordering nations (which were all made into modern "russians"). Evrywhere russia goes - it erases history, culture or commit genocide if a conquered nation is resisting much (like they did to Ukrainians during 300 years of occupation).
Muscowy
ussia attacked Ukraine because they have such barbaric mentality (as I asaid because of their bloody historical experience as an empire).
Why do they hate NATO and USA so much? Because they superior in cultural and civilizational ways and because they are STRONGER. Theya hate that NATO cant let them freely commit crimes futher in Europe like they could during the peak of their empire (Soviet Union times).
If Ukraine was a part of NATO they wouldnt attack Ukraine but attacked someone else who is out of any protection (Georgia, etc.).
If for example Latvia was not in NATO or Poland (and Ukraine was) then they would invade the ones who were out of NATO.
They constantly WAGE WARS during all their history starting since Muscowy state (which is several centuries). Aggressive wars mostly (only a few were defensive - like when Napoleon or Hitler attacked them).
But 1 thing I agree with is that russia is obsessed with Ukraine a bit more than with other neighbours\countries because they tried to steal our early middle-age history of Rus which collapsed after Mongols empire Golden Horde invaded (muscowians
ussians even created their impostor names like Russian Empire or Russian Federation).

WW3 has indeed begun, and USA is making Neville Chamberlain imitations.
Ukraine should ask if the ROK wants to send a battalion or two to get some combat experience against the DPRK soldiers, it would be blatant hypocrisy for the Russians to protest that... (Though I fully expect they would)
Putin thinks any defensive response to Russian aggression counts as escalation, you're absolutely spot on he would protest it despite the hypocrisy.
The ROK is probably playing the same role the US is, sitting by and watching its primary existential enemy expend its strength in a place that hardly matters to us. When this is over, hopefully Ukraine will still exist and I would strongly support its being allowed to join NATO to protect the rump, but the Russian land forces--the ones we once feared would roll over central Europe--would be decimated and spent. The ROK probably hopes to some degree so will North Korea.
If you watch AJP Taylor's excellent lecture series "How Wars Begin", he makes the point that the question about World War II isn't how it began, or even why it began, but *when* it began, for all the reasons you just went into, plus the Japanese shenanigans in Manchuria going all the way back to 1931.
You can see the same pattern in WWI, with the various Balkan conflicts following 1908.
You'll always find wars that preceed wars
WWII began "traditionally" the 1. September 1939 with the German attack on Poland.
Before that, first the Sudetenland and then the"rest of Czechoslovakia" was annexed, which was crucial because it provided the Panzer 38(t). Before that the Anschluss of Austria, and as a very first step, the Saarland (was demilitarised).
None of these were wars but still serious crises that resulted in more territory and power for the Nazi.
Meanwhile, the Spanish civil war was more or less independent, nevertheless German (Legion Condor) and some Italian troops were involved and used it to implement and test new tactics (same in Abessinia). So, "independent" war but still taking part in the overall development.
The shenanigans in Asia were not limited to Manchuria either but covered the near, middle, and far East, specifically in Palestine, Persia, India and the (former) Dutch colonies were turmoils.
One can look at these as independent events, or as elements of a complex cascade.
If you want to set the start of WWII as the "point of no return", I'd go with the Munich conference dealing with the Sudeten crisis. (The peak of appeasement politics.) After that, an escalating war (in Europe) was no longer preventable.

About the US intervention in WW2 and what it means today:
Remember, Germany declared war on the US after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbour. It was not like the US declared war on Germany and showed up because their allies there, especially the UK, were in great danger.
The west took a VERY long time to really respond to Germany. Hitler took over in 1933/34, The war in spain started in 1936, Germany took parts of Czechoslovakia in 1938, *took Austria took Poland in 1939, Norway, Benelux countries and France in 1940, took Greek in 1941, attacked the USSR later in 1941 and declared war on the US november 1941, AND were fighting in North Africa since late summer 1940.
Just AFTER that, the US took action. Before that, it was the UK with Canada, Australia and other commonwealth nations fighting in North Africa and trying to survive in europe.
What we have now, is comparable to Spain, or Czechoslovakia, but they fight back.
Imo if the US doesn't wake up, and other European countries, we will have the same situation again: An direct attack on the west, including the US, most likely over Taiwan, which the US HAS to defend for microchips, and CAN'T replace, in a few years. The new axis' forces that fight in Ukraine now, will get stronger, will train, and will attack Taiwan, South Korea and a weaker Ukraine, plus maybe even the Baltics, maybe even Poland, shouldn't the west defeat them in Ukraine now, and then make sure, Taiwan is safe...
Edit: *
Also after Ukraine, Russia will fight even more in Africa, like Germany after France, and they might take more of Georgia, because Russia needs money. Africa has mines. Russia would just do, what Wagner already does and Germans and Italy did

Russia began preparing for the genocide of Ukrainians even before the full-scale war started, according to Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine's military intelligence service HUR. The Kyiv Post reported on the matter.
According to Budanov, Russia had ready-made plans at the outset of the invasion on how to eliminate individuals who might oppose the occupation.
Learn more
- Preparations for the genocide of Ukrainians by Russia […] included creating kill lists, deploying mobile crematoria, and planning mass graves, Budanov stated.
Before the invasion, Russian soldiers were given lists that included, among others, teachers, war veterans, journalists, scholars, writers, pro-Ukrainian clergy, public figures, and local politicians.
In the areas occupied by Russia, these kill lists were put into action. This was seen in practice in places such as Borodyanka, Bucha, Hostomel, Izium, and Mariupol.

In Ukraine there wasn't a longstanding support of that kind but the US still helped so it should be more likely with Taiwan.

Ukraine wins every day by not loosing.
Think Vietnam.
However the Ukrainian loss is inevitable. The Ukrainian military has an extreme manpower shortage. Why do you think Russia is still gaining hundreds of square kilometers every single day? Ukraine does not have the resources to push them back. And in terms of resources I mean men. You can give them all the supplies they want but it’s not gonna stop the rapid depletion of the Ukrainian population.
Only 40K KIA, out of a population of 10 Million men aged 18-48...so Ukraine can keep fighting at this rate for another 250 years, and by then there would have been 10 generations worth of new men to replenish manpower. A surplus of 100 million men. So I disagree completely.
Russia lost the war the day Zelensky called for arms, not a taxi. Putin's original purposes all failed. Ukraine has won honour, admiration, and international support for reconstruction. Even if Russia takes most of the (damaged and depopulated by conflict) territory, the damage to Russian society and economy means there is a high chance governmental collapse will open the door to it being reclaimed.
Against a vastly larger population, Ukraine has to run a war of attrition, trading as few soldiers as possible and ceding land if necessary to do so, but withdrawing in ways which set up killing zones. Russian troops are cannon-fodder per WW1; Ukrainian troops are valued.
Ukraine's strategy and international sanctions make Russia's after-war situation worse every day it survives, increasing the likelihood of eventual Ukrainian recovery of the occupied territory.
Russia is getting 100,000 North Koreans for free because the West literally didn’t do anything after the first 10,000.
These are more troops Kyiv has to fight and less rotations Ukrainian troops can take. This is not good, I don’t care what the KIAs are, casualties can be removed from the battlefield, they don’t have to be dead to be unable to fight.
Russia can grind Ukraine down without having to settle for a negotiation if this policy in the West remains and is likely to remain.
@ The west told Russia no North Koreans in Ukraine. They are all being deployed in Kursk.
The sumo wrestler analogy is spot on. That's how the Vietnam war was lost. The leader of the north even said that would happen - you (the south) are winning every battle, but we (the north) will win the war because we will never give up. He was right.
I'm not saying the US should have stayed in Vietnam longer or left sooner. I'm just saying that his strategy was 100% correct. If you understand your enemy's weakness, there is a way to exploit that weakness.
I am beyond tired of the ignorant Americans who think Putin is a good guy.
Exactly
I doubt Trump would cut himself ties to Putin, if anything and I don’t think Zelenskyy is the type of a guy who would simply give up his country in an instant. Ukraine is becoming a martyr at this point .
Among other things. These are not just the words of a former world-respected general. Zaluzhny is now the Ukrainian ambassador to Britain. A more than significant political figure.These words are worth listening to.
Probably the most important video you have made to this point, a clearly defined concern of where current events may lead to. Yes, there is a reason why history is so important.
Russia is close to exhaustion! Ukraine needs increased support now!
Wonderful analysis, good job. We will forever repeat history
Actually, in WWII the British were in France defending them. You might remember "Dunkirk" - they even made a movie about it. It was only America that refused to enter the war, no matter how bad Hitler was. They were forced into the war when Japan and Germany declared war on it.
There was no dictatorship bad enough for USA to enter WWII, and yet hopefully that's a lesson USA has learnt from.
Time will tell.
You see, the West didn't screw it only before 2nd WW. Churchill and Roosevelt made another mistake in Yalta at 1945, when they agreed to pass half of Europe to Stalin. Western called it the victory on acceptable terms. The other half of Europe called it a bloody disaster. England and the US had 2 plans on how to defeat Stalin right after Berlin had fallen, but they dropped it.
There is an old Roman' saying: who flees from the battlefield will fight again'. And you are right - the whole world will fight again because our ancestors unfinished business in Rusia.
By that logic, aren't we at World War 50?
The many proxy wars between the West and the soviet union alone are several dozen World Wars alone. Then there are the Gulf Wars, the invasion of Afghanistan, etc. A lot of conflicts after WWII had a global component to them.
Yeah, it's for future historians to figure out. I think China is more important. It's like second largest economy in the world. If it goes to war then we are really screwed. Even Ukraine war caused global food crisis and there was global energy crisis before that caused by pandemic. Wikipedia says that global energy crisis is over and global food crisis is still ongoing.
Yeah that is not a WW. Sorry mate
@@kotenoklelu3471 there's been a food crisis for most of human history... famins have always been a thing
You have to understand that it is pure UE/US propaganda. Everyone, both "friends" and enemies of Ukraine know from the very beginning that the Ukrainian army cannot defeat the Russian army. The only battle in which Russia has no chance is lies and propaganda, they simply appeal to an incomparably smaller number of people than we do. We have crossed a line that no one has ever crossed: US weapons with US supervision are killing Russians in Russia!!! This is a game between the US and Russia, Ukraine, Ukrainians and suffering is irrelevant. If the goal of the US was peace and not war, the Ukrainians would never be in this situation.
This is clearly not WW3 yet and everyone who calls this WW3 already somehow wants WW3 to happen. If the conflict were to end in early 2025 with negotiations, no one in the world would say "Oh boy that was WW3 right there, I'm glad that's over with".
Bro, you making a lot of good, logical points in this vid.
You are not alone in that analysis. 🎉
I'm of average intelligence but have worked in a prison environment for 25 years. US would be the "bitch" on the yard. We need to show ethical and moral strength. We must understand we are answering their violence.
I watch your stream regulary, why do Americans always conveniently forget, Britain fought alone for its survival in the 2nd world war for 2 years with little help from any one get your facts right please.
A bit unfair, say the major independent, but under the Crown, nations, which sent valuable assistance even after their borders were attacked.
There are a few remaining merchant Marines in the Northeast and the Canadian maritimes who might disagree.
It's a sad reflection from the past the the 'free world' never gave enough support to the elected Spanish government. Can we learn from this and do better for Ukraine's struggle against another tyrant ? On the current basis the same mistakes are being made all over again.
ppl have been saying it’s ww3 for over a year
Bang on 👍
You know what , as much as it was wrong , but the republicans during the Bush years would have understood this explicitly
Hell, WW3 started on 24 Feb 22 when Russia invaded from the north…
try a decade earlier, when NATO instigated the Ukrainian civil war and put in the current puppet regime.
@@StrangeBrewReviews How many countries that been forced to join NATO?
Who invade Ukraine first in 2014 and 2022?

@dailylifeofnobody819 NATO isn't some innocent bystander. They are just as active if not more so. The world needs a balance of super powers. Not a one world government.
Go back to Maidan 2014. US financed usurpery as they have done so many times before. I get we are always told we are the good guys because of the side of the fence we are standing on. But man... our leaders are just as corrupt as the other guys and they always send the common man to die for their own enrichment. THIS... is what HAS TO stop.

À partir du moment ou la Charogne du Kremlin a permis à 10 000 soldats Nord Koréen à joindre ses rangs il a extensionné un conflit local en conflit mondial. Maintenant reste à savoir quel est le prochain pays à se joindre à la danse.
From the moment the Kremlin's carrion allowed 10,000 North Korean soldiers to join its ranks, it has expanded a local conflict into a global conflict. Now it remains to be seen which country is next to join the dance.
Thank you!
This was a great analysis.
Lol, there is also a Life of Brian Coliseum fight that comes to mind...
Had the same thought. “I think I’m about to have a cardiac arrest!”
Is CCP offering weapons sales? If not, then they are cautious. If so and it favors Russia to win, then what?
The entire US Army was only 189,839 soldiers in 1939. There's no way it had 100,000 trained infantry to send to Spain in 1938. And, the air force was part of the Army then. Numbers are from the National WW II Museum. The Army did grow very quickly between 1940 and 1941, so it would have been possible to send 100,000 troops in a year after committing to it.
I can see this guy saying, "WW3 has broken out and you need my bubblegum to survive! Whether running for shelter or fighting mobs of refugees, my bubblegum will save you!".
Huh?
Well under those circumstances some caffine would be advisable...
The US should help Ukraine more!!

Nobody wants to die in war.
Everyone kept pretending really hard that everything was going to become OK, just by somehow working itself out, and it ended in very nearly "the end of the world" (which hardly needs those exclamation marks).
I hope that's not what's in some history book about our present times, one foul day in a grim future, where people are already beginning to forget forever that once there was a brief time in history where humans had a go at liberty (etc) but only in a half-baked kind of way.
(If the dictators finally win this time, they're going to make sure there's no next time. For some things it would literally be the end. They'll do things like take 1984 and turn it into an instruction manual.)
No, that shouldn't happen, but you've shown clearly how real the risk is.
It's more cold war with extra steps right now

It is frustrating how many Republicans in USA are Russian bots repeating Kremlin talking points.
Not all, just the rabid anti-government ones. The rest unfortunately drank the cool-aid provided by charisma. May G_d have mercy...
It may be of some reassurance to hear that at least two of Trumps cabinet picks for Foreign Policy are hardliners for continuing to support US allies, including Ukraine, as they believe that a Russian victory would be extremely costly for NATO, and thus primarily the US, in the long run. They do also believe that other NATO members need to make sure they are inputting the 2% of their GDP as agreed but they are for continuing support. I take a bit of reassurance from this, but these are fickle so it's hard to say.
You kidding me? Look at there absolute shit show mess the side you support is getting us into. I don’t remember us being this close to WW3 last time trump was in office.
Said one Sage !" WW3 might be fought with Nuclear Weapons, but next WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones!"
Funny, he didn't point out nato weapons, technical support, and troops involved in the conflict. He didn't mention the 60 billion invested in the war from the west
You lost all credibility when you got on the "nato weapons" part.
When it comes to doing anti american propaganda, you are completely useless.

PS: if you want to understand how Russian propaganda works, watch Vlad Vexler's video, Russian political philosopher living in UK called "20 years of propaganda knowledge in 15 minutes" ...
Especially Slovaks and Hungarians should watch it, states, who are in NATO and EU, but still falling for Putin's BS!
I've agreed with much of what has been said in this video. Even back when the war started I recognized the similarities between this and the Spanish Civil War. Where Ukraine has sort of been taken advantage of as a testing ground for modern conventional warfare. Similarly to how Spain was in the late 1930s. It's a concerning idea that history is repeating itself in many ways and that Ukraine has turned into something of an appetizer for future conflicts and wars.
However, another think that I think is worth noting is that the war in Ukraine also emphasizes the importance of having Allies before these wars break out. Places like South Korea, Taiwan, and even Israel (despite currents events) who have pretty strong international support already. I would say too that the War in Ukraine highlights the risks inherent to naturality and part of the reason for the mediocre support given to them. The lessons learned here lighting a fire under other neutral nations like Sweden in Finland who only until very recently joined NATO.
At least that's my arm-chair general analysis of things...
I've heard it called WW4. The Cold War was WW3, and the USSR lost that one.
7 years war was the First World War , so this is world war 5
where did they state that its ww4

A Good, clear-headed take. Well thought out and grounded in fact.
WW3 was the cold War, this is cold war 2.0
The Cold War was more political than military. Dks were measured yes, but never W and E confronted themselves in the Battlefield. Ukraine is both, so logically really the most likely craddle for a WWIII to begin
History geek here. The Cold War was not a world war because it never escalated into a direct global armed conflict between superpowers. Instead, it was a period characterized by ideological rivalry, proxy wars, and geopolitical tension.

In your analysis of the second world war you left out the Molotov- Ribbentrop Pact. Both Hitler and Stalin divided Eastern Europe -:. Stalin invaded the Baltics and Moldavia, while Stalin both divided Poland. A few months later, Stalin launched the winter war - a full scale invasion against Finland. Ironically, they were brought to a standstill. The second world war began as a joint venture.
Edit: both Hitler and Stalin divided Poland
My grandfather was planing to go to Spain with his buddies to fight the fascists in 1938. He could not go as he had broken his leg a week before they were suppose to leave and never made it. He a;ways felt that he had let his friends down. (none of them made it back, as was the fate of the majority of Canadians who volunteered) I wouldn't be here if he hadn't broken his leg. Fate is a strange thing.
Something else to take into account: italy sent massive amounts of resources to Spain and couldn't replace the equipment loss.
