Europe basically disarmed themselves after the Cold War. Russian aggression against the "NATO threat" was a self-fulfilling prophecy by encouraging Europe to rearm.
@@jamesgreen1116 russia has lost nearly half of it's raw material exports (it's gas sales have collapsed), it's currency is in free fall, interest rates are at 21%, it has 750,000 killed, wounded or captured, it will have a massive bill for those wounded and disabled, over 1 million young men have left the country, and when it was already one of the lowest birth rate countries in the world, only behind south korea, I am wondering where you get your optimism from. Turns out the 4D Chess you thought Putin was playing turned out to be snakes and ladders, and your mans luck has run out.
@shuathe2nd haha you really believe all those desperate western media fairytales? Here's some reality for you though, Ukraine has lost over 20% of their former country, an area worth trillions. Russia and China have just very recently completed the largest gas pipeline in the world 7 months early. More new pipelines are planned for the future. Stuff in russia is cheap and plentiful. Why not add a few more 0' onto those deaths by the way? You do realise russia will soon have the 2nd largest army in the world? Get off western media ffs.

The other day, in response to a comment I made about Russia violating the Budapest Memorandum, a Russian told me that Russia has not violated any agreements because the agreements they made were with Ukraine, not with the Kiev Regime, and that right now, the conflict is not with Ukraine, but with the Kiev Regime. Some of line of reasoning!!
The Budapest memorandum also states that the signatories agreed to respect Ukraines sovereignty and not to coerce financially or politically interfere. The United States broke that oath when Victoria Nuland was caught in a telephone conversation, talking about who the interim government should be after the removal of the elected president of Ukraine.
@@johnhume4346 Does that rule you are so concerned about only apply to the US then? Is Russian interference, i.e. the sudden and bizarre 180 degree turn in policy which caused the crisis, just an unfortunate fact that must be ignored? If foreign ministers talking about the internal affairs of another country counts as "interference" what does corruption and bribery amount to? That's a more meaningful description of interference - ask any Ukrainian.
@mustafa1name If you bothered to do a little research you would learn that Yanukovych was very pro European, but the loan that the imf offered was not enough and the conditions were tantamount to austerity. If someone says they'll buy a car off you, and then changes their mind for a better deal. You don't go round and turf them.out of their house.
russia has burned through its national reserves, the ruble is toilet paper and it has lost its biggest customer for generations. putler really is a genius 😂
And I thought the second-rate clown Zelensky, who performed at Putin's corporate parties in Russia, was a genius. We need to see how much the Ukrainian hryvnia is worth to the dollar. All that's left is to hold elections
YA THINK?? Once KGB, always KGB, you never lose the mindset of a goon. The ghosts of Yazov and Beria still haunt the Kremlin and talk to Putin at night.
This is not true - the economy in Russia was fine before the war ! Putin was very afraid of the progress in Ukraine because it was much faster than that in Russia ! Putin was not ready to give to Russians the freedom Ukraine got
Prof. Mark Galeotti is simply spitting out what Times Radio wants to hear. He does it for a living! he is paid to say this. The current confusion started in 2014. You are right. And 2014 was created by the cheating West had done in 1990. Feb 9, 1990 James Baker & Helmut Kohl promised a naive Gorbachev that NATO will not expand one inch to the East if Soviet Union agreed for the unification of Germany! Gorbachev agreed (to the surprise of everyone! No one thought this would have been so easy!). East and West united even before the dissolution of Soviet Union. And West cheated on this. Already in 1994 Clinton signed a statement for the expansion of NATO. With the clown Yeltsin in charge of Russia, the West and NATO had a free ride. Majority of Warsaw Pact countries wer admitted into NATO . Also the peanut old Soviet republics of Estonia, Latvia and Litwania. Putin came to power and realized how Gorbachev was fooled by the West. Finally in an interview with Skynews in Dec 2021 Putin said : “It‘s very simple. We will not allow misslies pointing at our Kitchen (from Ukraine)” . As simple as that.
@@johnhume4346 No, Putin is the one who's ultimately behaving irrationally and he's stuck in his own echo-chamber. In reality Putin with his extremely ill-advised Ukrainian adventure has accelerated the schedule for the collapse of the Russian Federation.
I think that the whole population of the RUS society lives with in a concentrated zone.. me thinks that they, in fact should be afraid of the nuke, tell me if I am wrong? Who is really riding the winning horse?
What other concentrated zone? Our borders are open, you can fly or travel anywhere. But in Ukraine, all borders are closed to boys from the age of 18. No freedom of movement. Elections are canceled, which violates their constitution. All channels and opinions other than Zelensky's have long been abolished. Study the information! If you watch only one opinion all day long you can believe anything!
Looking at high interest rates in Russia's future investments and rebuilding efforts are largely laughable. Ukraine should consider future Russian migrant issues caused by any collapse.
So far there is no reason to believe red lines or anything of the sort from Putin, until he makes a point that he'll make good on his word, things will continue the usual laisser faire, carry on!
It was merely a response to the actions of the west. A warning was issued not to shell Russian territory with long-range guns. It was clearly explained that the Ukrainians simply do not even know how to aim these weapons. They do not have satellites. It is the Western military that does this. That has been violated. Oreshnik is a response to these actions. Putin has been offering negotiations for a long time. BUT if you study the information carefully, Zelensky has legislated against negotiations with Russia. By the way, agreements were signed in Turkey, but then boris johnson flew in in a hurry and said that ukraine should fight on!!!!! No ceasefire - he said. Research this information. This was confirmed by the very representatives of the authorities in Ukraine themselves
You can say anything negative about your enemy. Unfortunately that doesn't change d enemy, it just frustrates you when they don't conform to your description.

Nope.Every Unn under the leadership of Rua called himself the Son of Rua or RUS in the 4th century (Rua had no sons of his own) When the Uns, calling themselves RuS, founded Kyiv as the capital in the 430s, the first state throne appeared in them only in 822. The Unns of Kyiv Rus (ancient UKRs) are first mentioned in the annals in 1187 year as Ukraine. So, Ukraine is the mother of the Unn Kyivan RuS (mentioned in the chronicles since 1187 as Ukraine). No Moscow at that time, and if it appeared there after BelaRus as a state (1222 year), then MuscoRus (1721 year) ) must adhere to the principles of state borders, internationally recognized today. I do not think that the world is already destined to surrender its civilization to absolute evil for destruction, because Ukraine is matter.
