- A lot of people blame the war on Ukraine, saying that if they never desired to join NATO, Russia wouldn't have attacked. Maybe they are right. In this video, we explore why.

I remember there were youtubers after 2014 asking people on streets whether or not Ukraine should join NATO. And east region was mainly against this idea. Ironically, this region suffered most
Ukrainian population support for joining NATO:
Before 2014: 15-25%
After 2014: 40-60%
After 2022: Over 80%
Russia made Ukraine joining NATO a possibility themselves.
100%.
This is to forget USA involvement altogether. You have to remember that it is very much in the US interest to recruit more countries especially Ukraine.
@@Mike-id7bh you know that the US is just one of 32 countries that are members of NATO and headquarters are in Belgium. It's not led by the US. Under the Trump government, the US was even debating whether to leave the alliance.
@@Mike-id7bh No it isn't in the US interest. If you remember US was suggesting Europe defend itself. Germany and France STILL continue to waffle on this. There is absolutely NOTHING in it for the US except for cheaper cooking oil, but that's everyone.
BS.@@Headhunter-5000
Putin is NATOs best recruitment officer 🤣
President Trump will finally put an end to USA funding NATO and Ukraine during his 2nd term as president.
😂😂😂
Funfact putin wanted Russia to join nato and got rejected
It’s one of putin’s lie. The same as denazification, demilitarization etc.
One question which broke all reasons that putin said: “Why russia annexed 5 Ukrainian’s regions and wrote them down in it’s own constitution?”. It’s breaking international law, doesn’t it?
Russia always fought for the new territories. Always.
Just look at the map or open Wikipedia and check count of the last conflicts.
There is no sense in looking for explanations in the actions of a maniac
The US is also bordering Russia.
As a Finnish guy who has lived in Sweden for nearly a decade i can confirm that joining NATO was not on the agenda of either country before Russia invaded Ukraine.
But soon after that our leaders decided that we must join NATO for protection against possible future Russian aggression.
And Finland basicly speedran through the joining process in record time. It took a lot longer for Sweden because of Turkey and Hungary.
But yeah thanks to Russia NATO has 2 new members and more maybe on the way in the future.
Stay safe out there Johnny.
Finland was already in NATO from 2014. This joining was only a show.
@@nazarijmanchenko7213 If it was a show it would have been faster lol. Finland and Sweden have been partners with NATO for a long time that is true. But only full members are protected under the arcticle 5. So being just a partner was not enough anymore that is why we joined NATO as full members. And it was definately no show since not all the NATO countries see eye to eye in some things. Hungarys prime minister is a Putin lover and Turkeys president has his own agendas. So yeah it was not an open and shot thing. Btw its pretty hard to join NATO but its easy to leave it if one so wishes.
@@j.p.h.8126 Tiedätkö että artikla 5 ei tarkoita oikeasti sitä että muut maat tulevat suojaamaan.
@@nazarijmanchenko7213 No mitäs se sitten tarkoittaa?
5:15 NATO is solely a defensive military alliance and NATO can authorize use of force only if a member state is under attack.
Which didn't happen in 1995, nor in 1999.
In case of Yugoslavia and bombing in 1999 the UN Security Council could have ordered the use of force but it didn't happen because Russia and China would have been against it and you need approval from all 5 permanent members.
Great segment.
Ukraine was always interested in the EU for economic opportunities.
The whole Yugoslavia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Serbia conflict was disastrous. Europe was in shock while humanitarian war crimes were happening much like the Holocaust. That's why America and NATO got involved.
We are seeing it again in Ukraine.
Taiwan has been trading partners and a friendly nation with America for a long time. The CCP aggression in the region is downright bullying.
If the CCP just let Hong Kong continue doing what they have been doing for a century, then international business would continue to thrive.
My understanding is that international businesses are shying away from Hong Kong now do the CCP.
Thanks and agreed 100%.
I will say otherwise. Until 2014, the majority of Ukrainians were against joining NATO, because they did not understand why they needed it and who could attack them. And after the occupation of Crimea and the invasion (by Russians without identifying military insignia) of Donbas, the majority of Ukrainians already saw that this was a necessary measure for security against further Russian aggression.
Yeah, everything went according to plan alright ... according to John McCain, the CIA and Victoria Nuland's plan to turn the Ukrainian people against their own Russian brothers in an attempt to oust Putin so that Russia would fall apart again, thus causing chaos among the Russian people so that Western powers could swoop in and seize Russian territory and it's natural resources. I thank GOD Putin saw this coming!
From the Ukrainian point of view, we were already in nato before. To be more precise we had damn nuclear warheads and the most modern nuclear airplane in the world (still no better) but the Americans came and started pushing us to disarmament, supporting the idea of Russia. They ordered us to cut our powerful aviation to metal and put it on the open field that would fix the fact from the satellite, even the planes that were released in the same year we had to cut otherwise we were threatened with economic blockade, and the other part to give to Russia from these planes we are now being killed. And when Ukraine asked the US to help, we said that we gave you everything we had (our forces, nuclear arsenal), we could have destroyed half the world with this arsenal, but we got rid of it to live in peace and made the first step to this peace. For this we got talks about how many millions of liters of Ukrainian blood should be spilled so that the rest of the world could sleep peacefully, or suddenly escalate. We were even forbidden to destroy the airports where those damn OUR airplanes were stored in Russia, because damn EXCALATION. And if we hadn't given up our nukes? Do you think we'd be bombed now? I'm sure the whole world would be afraid of us and respect us and say don't excalate in front of Ukraine, or it might not like it. So there's only one lesson for us. Paper with treaties is worth nothing, it's toilet paper. Only the power to destroy our neighbors is valuable.
PS: Yes, I realize that Ukrainians are fools themselves for agreeing to this offer. But we lived in a Soviet dictatorship and our leaders were Soviet clerks. Unfortunately, our society is still learning.
PS2: Perhaps instead of talking we should have launched a nuclear weapon somewhere in neutral waters and then we would have been offered better terms instead of this crap we got.
💯
USA had a trustworthy reputation before, so I wouldn't be too hard on Ukrainian leaders. Nowadays no one wouldn't trust them on similiar matters.
USA had a trustworthy reputation before, so it's understandable what happened. Nowadays no one wouldn't trust them on similiar matters.
@@MalikDnD Sir , those nuclear weapons you speak of were aging and entering a phase where decommissioning was being considered and was concerning the U.S . Moscow had the firing codes for these and they couldn't be repurposed , so Ukraine couldn't have fired them as you speak of .
@@ianmaonaigh7215 We had specialists, I'm sure “code in moscow” is not “impossible”. And having learned the truth about old airplanes according to documents that were actually released from the factory 2 months ago, I don't trust very much that all missiles were obsolete and it is impossible to use them.

Thanks for the update Johnny. I did not know about the 1994 "treaty" that stated if Ukraine gave up it's nukes the US/UK gave assurances to Ukraine that they would provide aid in the case that Ukraine was attacked. Good stuff. Again, Thanks..
I'm glad I could share the info!
@@JohnnyFD I think most people in the west already knew this Johnny. It’s crystal clear Putin just wanted to grab land before Ukraine joined nato. Just look at how much Poland has improved in the last 20 years. Russia couldn’t touch Poland now and Ukraine was going in the same direction as Poland. Thanks for keeping everyone updated Johnny. Your channel is 1 of the best places to get the truth about what’s actually going on inside Ukraine. From England
@@stu-9144Poland Is Better than before not only because usa spent much many in that country but for othet motivs.
That was no treaty. It is called the Budapest Memorandum, where the signatories reaffirm their commitment to respect iUkraine independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity in accordance with the UN Charter and make noise, so to say, if somebody violates that.
@@ip5430Oh good man, don't lie intentionally or unintentionally if you aren't familiar with the issue. It is named Memorandum but is officially registered in UN as a treaty. So, legally it's a treaty. Furthermore, it's issued in four equal versions and in both Ukrainian and Russian it's named as "guarantees" not "assurances". Technically speaking, Russia violated this international treaty (let's have another signed?). Moreover, US and UK must've introduce their armed forces to defend Ukraine and support Ukraine's sovereignty and integrity. Legally, Ukraine may suit both US and UK for not providing adequate support. Not to mention Russia. Formulation of this Memorandum is very similar to article 5 of NATO. Funny enough 😊
For f*** sake, Sarajevo was under siege for 4 years!!! FOUR YEARS.
Russia knew that Ukraine was making repeated requests for consideration to join NATO before 2014. I think that it is disingenuous to suggest the 2014 attack on Crimea was the catalyst for inspiring Ukraine to join NATO. It may have increased public support for joining NATO, but that is not what drove Russia to invade.
Russia warned Ukraine not to even attempt to join NATO. Fair enough. Russia didnt want NATO on its doorstep. In reverse, no NATO country would allow any of its super-power enemies, to camp on ITS doorstep.
Right !!! ABSOLUTELY CORRECT !!!
It probably had something to do with Russia invading one neighbor after the next, and Ukraine knowing their turn was coming. The largest standing military in Europe, also having the longest shared border with Russia, remained neutral until the invasion. Now they (Finland) and Sweden are both NATO members. None of the nations of Europe have ever had designs to invade Russia. The projection coming from the Kremlin is over the top.
A clear piece of Russian propaganda. You didn't even listen to what Johnny said.
I can still remember you and Ben walking around the city just before the invasion saying " Russia will never invade Ukraine " and the US kept saying oh yes he is going to invade lol. Oh how we miss the good O'le days. Stay safe my friend.
Agreed, me too. Prior to the invasion, we thought Putin, and Russia was sane...it turns out we were both wrong.
Just checking - are you ok? It does look like Russia is ramping up the bombing of Ukraine. It's not worth losing your life over vlogging - so at some point do consider whether you're staying....
It's been a tough week here, but anyways I already had a flight scheduled from Warsaw this week before it happened. It'll be good to escape for a bit.
@@JohnnyFD keeping you and friends in thoughts and prayers.
...except Sweden and Finland were not part of the Minsk Agreement.
Ukraine was 😉
All you have to do now is find out in the dictionary what an “Agreement” is and what a negotiation protocol is. The Minsk “Agreements” exist only on Russian TV channels. What Ukraine signed was a standard protocol. Which is signed at regular meetings.
This protocol confirmed that at the meeting Russia demanded capitulation from Ukraine and Ukraine’s signature means that Ukraine confirmed that exactly these demands were made at the meeting and not, for example, for everyone to get together and go to a restaurant. But this signature does not mean that Ukraine agreed. There is also a second part of the “Agreements” where
Ukraine has put forward its conditions for negotiations and Russia has signed them too. This signature on both sides certifies the topic and essence of the negotiations and not the decision on them.
In such meetings, it is a standard procedure for both parties to sign the minutes of the meeting and what was discussed in these meetings. The goal is that one of the parties does not later change the essence of the negotiations and cannot renege on their words.
The Russian gangster state must not be allowed to spread!
Hey John, that’s really strange what you’re talking about how come you did not bring up the Minsk agreements do you know that the Minsk agreements was just a sham to build up an army in the Ukraine to overthrow Russia?
Pretty much NATO really is the United States and the reason why Russia invaded the Ukraine is number one correct they wanted a gas pipeline that can run through the Ukraine, but that would also mean that NATO would be on Russia’s doorstep. Russia talked about the NATO expansion on its border, many many times which is technically the United States Pretty much this war is really the United States trying to topple Russia, but it will not work the United States NATO. North America is falling apart because of this stupid war that the United States has spent billions of dollars where they should be investing that money on people in North America not giving that idiot Zielenski billions of dollars so that Ukrainian army can go and die for the United States of America on a endless war they will not win . Your your little documentary is just brainwashing.
You should do a documentary on when Russia invaded the Ukraine how is it that they found bio labs in the Ukraine you should also talk about the human trafficking ring you know the little tunnels they have underground in the Ukraine and you know the children are just exported out of the Ukraine or they went missing you should investigate that
VERY WELL SAID MY FRIEND. YOU NAILED IT !!!
I have friends who were on the front line in trenches during the signing of the Minsk agreements. Russia violated the agreement days after signing. Putin cannot be trusted.
@@JohnnyFD Stop talking Rubbish you imbicelle,it was the UK Boris Johnson that told Zelensky NOT to sign the Minsk agreement!
You are right. Also don't forget the coup in 2014 was one of the many reasons this war started. Nato only makes the world more dangerous by expanding and expanding. They don't need to built military bases close to the border of Russia. Why not try to negociate peace with Russia instead of provoking and escalating the situation. The only solution to peace is do what happened in Yugoslavia and make new borders, let a piece of Ukraine join Russia otherwise this war will never end. Around 25% of Ukrainian population are Russians and they do not want to be part of Ukraine anymore after everything that happened.
nothing to do with nato. was never a threat to russia. russia just wanted ukraine's newly discovered oil. russia's losing geopolitical relevance and is desperate.
Exactly this, look at the timing of offshore reserves discovered, then the "uprising", then hunters job was with who? its pretty clear cut, sure the strategic importance of crimea played into it, but, ukraine supplying europe its oil and gas, would be catastrophic to russian power in the region.
They why ukraine rejected istanbul peace
@Johny FD can you please explain to us the situation with reporters like Anne Laure Bonnel and the situation in Donbass after 2014? I am really trying to find out the truth, the actual truth. I really have my doubts because Ukraine used people like AZOV, especially Poroschenko to do their dirty work on people who where separatists. What really is the truth there? There are tons of videos that claim Ukraine basically acted cruel to people there.
The truth is that if Russia didn't send unmarked soldiers and weapons into Donbas in 2014, nothing bad would had happened to anyone: www.johnnyfd.com/2022/10/ukraine-faq-donbas-2014-2022-russian-war.html
Just watch Vice News. They have a huge video series of weekly reports, visiting the hotspots and interviewing people from the start of the Donbass conflict in 2014 on. Really great. You see that both sides were bad towards each other and both sides lost innocents. I don’t think this style of reporting would be allowed now. It’s a long Saga to watch, but you will have a better understanding than what anyone now will tell you.
@@JohnnyFD Wrong again Johnny. The truth is if the United Stolen Asset (USA) didn't send the John McCains and the Victoria Nulands to Kyiv and manipulate Ukrainians into ousting their democratically elected president (which you know would NEVER happen in the USA. Imagine what would happen if Trump was ousted after Jan 6th), then Russia would have not declared Kyiv a rogue US puppet. Being a US puppet and as per BUSH "Ukraine is the only non NATO member participating in every NATO mission" means Ukraine has no choice but to abide by whatever the US wants it to do just like how many of NATO "allies" participated in the invasion of Iraq.
I don't think you understand how Sovereign countries work "vanfja."If Mexico started to send weapons and unmarked soilders into AZ, CA, TX, and some Spanish speakers there wanted those states to leave the USA, you can't do that. Especially if Mexico started blowing up commerial planes flying overhead.
Ukraine is not sovereign. The US already admitted that it organized the coup in 2014.

Thank you very much for this informative video, Johnny! It just so happens that I am writing my master thesis on the whole Russo/Ukrainian conflict, and I spend a lot of time debunking some of these common prorussian talking points. The most known is the NATO expansion outcry, which you touched upon, but also supposed genocide in the Donbas for straight 8 years.
As someone who lives in the three seas region, I understand what the Ukrainians are going through, and I sincerely hope that the winds of change will also favor them in the near future.

The NATO expansion myth is well addressed by the NATO on their web site.
Strange that they didnt invade Finland & Sweden who recently joined NATO.
How can they invade Sweden or Finland if they are in war stupid
You do great work Johnny
Even Mearsheimer himself warns that Ukraine giving up on its nuclear weapons poses a security risk, and is not in its interests in a 1993 article
Since the turn of the 21st century, things have really changed, got far more complicated.
Promises don't mean much, or as much, as they once did. So much for "guarantees" of safety, national security when one country cannot abide by what that promised.
Hopefully this comment is generic enough to stay put. The people of Ukraine deserve to live, in peace, and in a whole country.
I am glad that you set things right: Russia is to blame for NATO's existence and Russia is to blame for NATO's expansion
you know what they say, opinions are like assh*les, everyone has one.
I think you made a good video summarizing the when and why of the war in Ukraine! And after going on for more than 2 years I suppose another generation of young adults around the world are getting aware of the issue and want some guidance. This video can help.
Ukraine wants to join NATO? What did the US Russia ambassador Michael McFaul said???? They lied to Ukraine about NATO membership. That the US would never take Ukraine into NATO. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

thank you for your efforts 💛💙
Russia had taken Crimea, and parts of Donbas
If putin really cared about the safety of Russians people and Russia as a whole. Putin wouldn't always talk about nuclear war 😮😂
Putin "only" talks about nuclear war whenever Western countries threaten to use nuclear weapons on Russia !!! STOP LISTENING TO YOUR WESTERN MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA !!!
It is not Russias choice
Sigh...People still trying to tell me US has nothing to do with Russo Ukrainian conflict when they haven't even heard about Nuland's leaked phone call... Johnny go ahead and listen to it on youtube
Diplomats have calls ALL OF THE TIME talking about who they would rather see win elections, it doesn't mean they select the winners.
A phone call stating a preference does not equate to evidence of any sort of interference or action.
The US has interfered in countries all over the world constantly. They are the great satan ensuring they have world power in the name of so called democracy.
@@JohnnyFD And this still doesn't justify invading another country.
@@JohnnyFD Sorry Johnny, but you are delusional if you think US has no involvement in the current war...Let me ask you this...According to history, how many times has US involved themselves in foreign regime changes?....And what makes this time any different from the previous regime changes?

Serbia was involved in wars against Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia also attacked the Albanian population of Kosovo ( 95% of the population of Kosovo are Albanians). The last Serbian attack against the Albanians triggered a war against the USA & NATO which resulted in the NATO bombing of Serbia & Montenegro. The Serbs have never forgiven the US & NATO in stopping the Serbian attempt to ethnically cleanse Kosovo.

What ive been trying to find out for a long time is what the past incursion was about I do know there's def' enough of a history with russia and the west and we haven't always helped that situation!
Didn't Putin want to join NATO at one point back in the the early 2000s? I try not to follow the news it's just nothing but depressing so I don't really know what goes on.
"we break down why these trolls might be correct" great intro mate. This has been a debate in foreign policy going all the way back to the early 2000's. It's a fact that the US had intentions to bring Ukraine to it's own side and I personally think they failed to look at their own mistakes regarding Georgia in respects to their strategy.
World Powers will always compete and protect their own interests and with this frame of mind it's easy to understand what led to the escalation from both perspectives.

Very true Johnny.
The headline is a complete fib and I am sure you know it.
No one wants a non independent Ukraine . In my opinion, it’s one of the best countries in the world
. The reason of this war was clear : to get rid of the actual Ukrainian government and make Ukraine a satellite state . However , the expansion of NATO during the 90s and the first decade of the XXI century was also a reason. I support the idea that in International relations there’s no “black and white conclusions “ : there’s a huge plethora of reasons, interests and conflicts . During the 1999 NATO expansion even George Kenan ( former Secretary of State ) warned everyone about the risk ( New York Times article , 1997). We should be speaking about how we will reach peace and the future relations with Russia ( cause even if Russia is defeated , we will have a Russian state and a Russian president : Russians will not disappear and the relationship of this country with their neighbors will be determined by the resolution of the security scheme in Eurasia. I just wish the best for my loved Ukraine , which I’ll visit again in winter. We need , as Kissinger said , “ actions from statesman, durable and effective, guaranteeing and protecting “.
Ok, but there was not a problem until Ukraine got rid of its Netrural leaders.
Sweden had peace anyway and they were Netural.
That's like telling a Woman who was beaten that if she had just kept in her lane and kept silent, she wouldn't had been raped. The fact that Ukrainians voted for a leader that promised to bring Ukraine to be part of the EU doesn't give Russia the right to invade them, destroy 100,000+ homes, rape, murder, and war.

Johnny, starting this war was horrific. Things like this is why Im against nation states and nationalism. But you know that great powers don't accept military alliances in their backyard. The US wouldn't accept a China-Mexico military alliance. Also, I feel like you're not addressing the fact, or just being up front about that many people in the Donbas are pro Russian and saw Maidan as a coup.
Anyways, I'm against this war, and I think it was a horrific decision to start it. But I just like people to be forthcoming about all the facts instead of biasing.
u dont know what u r talking about. russia was founding those separatists movement at the Eastern Ukraine and Crimea for years. NATO didnt want to except our application, Germany and France didnt want to see us in NATO at all. We had no chance to became a NATO member in 2014
@@KukharyshynOleh, yeah sure, he funded seperatists, which means that there were seperatists there, people who did not want to be part of Ukraine. I've seen so many videos of people from Donetsk etc. who are fighting on the side of the Russians.
The truth of the matter is that some parts of Ukraine feel more affiliated in identity with Russia.
As for the NATO stuff, it's possible that Ukraine wouldn't have joined NATO, but there definitely was talk about it and it was a real possibility. If Mexico was talking about joining a China-led military alliance, you think the US would stand idly by?

You should be congratulated for making NATO, larger, stronger, more prepared, better armed and more galvanised than at any time in the last 50 years.🤔😂

Before 2014 my family said its a big joke about joining NATO, like... "wtf, we dont need that, stupid idea and noone cares about NATO in our country." Now we obviously understand that its not stupid idea. I think we just wanted to be like a Swiss. Absolute neutral country. But... russian can't imagine their existance without their "father" Ukraine, who just created them. Exactly Ukrainian ancestors sent civilization to russian lands in Middle Ages, exactly Ukrainian politician influenced in russian empire creation, exactly Ukraine shared with russia their country name "Russia", because "Rus" is exactly an ancient Ukrainian country name, that translated in Greek - "Rossia", exactly how "Russia" is pronounced in Cyrillic. And because of many many lies by russia for couple of centuries, they can't imagine their existence without whom they based their lies on, otherwise noone will understand what their country is based on - no own culture, no own language(russian language were created in Kyiv based on Slavic Bulgarian language), no own history(the main history chronology is based on Ukraine, they ignore the history of lands they are owning today, they prefer talking about Ukrainian history that they appropriating to themselves)
Kokot...
Russia invaded Ukraine because Russia wants to return all former USSR republics into some kind of "federation" or "union". Putin had this plan from the very start - from when he became the president. In some countries they plan to achieve it peacefully - e.g. Belarusian dictator Lukashenko makes sure Belarus is aligned with Russia in all questions (culture, traditions, language, history textbooks, same heroes, etc). Belarusian opposition and patriots are forced to flee their country and country is slowly transformed into small copy of Russia and will be integrated into Russia. In Ukraine this scheme will not work. They planned to federalise Ukraine and to keep it in Russian orbit under the threat of partitioning. Ukraininas obviously do not want it. When Russia started aggression in 2014 it became obvious that to survive Ukraine should rely on NATO countries. When Russia failed to take half of Ukraine under control in 2014 in a proxy way it became obvious there will be a full-scale invasion in future.
Excellent - Johnny 5 stars
Dude u wrong ,dude u naive quisling your dude thought 3 days to Kiev freed people know
Jeffery Sachs would not agree with you.
How do you explain CIA bases in Ukraine which America has admitted being there for at least 10 years? Do you just ignore that fact and think they were planting flowers all those years there?
Canada was training Ukranian military forces since 2015, is that somehow "suspicious"too? Really? The US has intelligence officers in almost every country on the entire PLANET. So does Russia.
Canada and several other countries were training Ukranian military forces since 2015. Is that also "unacceptable"?
@@Rblock777 you forgot to mention bio-labs, mosquitos-warriors, and dirty bomb 😄
@@Alexthunder_V you forgot to check the factuality of my claims before dismissing them buddy 😉
@@Alexthunder_V There is American propaganda and Russian propaganda, the difference between me and you is that you have picked one which you believe
Watching this video makes me think how far went technology in these years. Average youtuber makes far better videos on his phone than US government was making its official videos 30 years ago
With no lights or electricity either. Just me standing by a window during a power outage. 😂
Good summary 👌 Agree with all you said. We met in Budapest in 2022 in front of the Russian Embassy when the war broke out
Oh nice to see a fellow war protestor!
Yeah you lying you don't really know what you talking about
Is that what was suppose to happen to georgia? Or how bout crimea that was previously ukraines
russia still occupies 20% of Georgia
Its to bad that Putin will be remembered for all the wrong reasons....so sad death and destruction...Russia will feel this Mistake , for the next 30 years. God bless Ukrane, and keep her safe. 😪
@williammaher5125 putin has never done anything laudable since he was spawned, what else would he be remembered for but death, destruction, theft and corruption?
I respect you and your opinion, but I disagree for the following reasons. I was serving in West Germany when we, the US and NATO, promised that if West Germany and East Germany could unite, NATO would not expand to the east. This was important because we had treaties in place limiting the range of our land-based missiles to 500 kilometers. NATO violated that promise with each new nation that joined the NATO “defensive alliance”. Each country that continues to join NATO, is another 100, 200 or more kilometers closer NATO’s missiles get to Russia, who happens to be a freakin nuclear power. Why was it necessary for ANY of the countries that joined NATO after 1989 to join? It wasn’t necessary. Ukraine is the victim in this power struggle between the US and Russia.
Further, after this conflict is over, watch what Blackrock and the other western oligarchs do to the Ukrainian people. You should look up the term REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust). They are going to do everything in their power to “legally” evict every Ukrainian from the apartments they received after the Soviet Union dissolved. It will be shameful what will happen.
Hi please show me that signed treaty or agreement. It doesn’t exist. PS I live in Ukraine, no one’s getting evicted. Stop falling for bs Russian propaganda.
1987: On December 8th, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev signed the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. The treaty was the first in which the United States and Soviet Union agreed to eliminate a weapons class and reduce the number of weapons in their nuclear stockpile.
The INF Treaty that I just made reference to, limited the distance land based missiles could travel to 500 kilometers. I was actually a very small part of our forces compliance with this treaty during the summer of 1988. I helped cut the launch structures in half. Nothing secret or special, but I was there. Yes, I am old. lol. I am now 56 years old.
Second, regarding the evictions that I believe will happen, the playbook is happening now here in the US. Investors buy cheap properties here (for example a trailer park) make small investments in the “commons area”, charge a monthly fee for the “commons area” maintenance, and slowly increase the fee each year. If you don’t pay the fee, they take you to court and obtain a lien, then evict.
I believe this playbook will happen in Ukraine with all those Soviet era apartments that were given to the residents when the government collapsed. I rented one of those apartments in Dnipro for over a year before Covid. Nice apartment, terrible “commons area”. My belief is this is how the investors will take possession of these properties.
Outstanding: that was so informative dear Johnny. I love your channel so much.
Thank you kindly!
Good analysis!
16:16 do you hear it too? 😂
Only Russian speaking people can understand 16:16 😂
sounds like he said poooshe dat poooshe
Ukraine was attacked already and occupied for 8 years.... everyone is forgetting this ..... Free as Belarus as Georgia as armenia, as Oezbe, as all those former russian republics.
Thank you Johnny, take care and be safe
💙💛💙💛🇺🇦🙏♥️🇺🇸✌🌻
Wow what a great summary of the history of Russian agression! THANK YOU from Canada❤
I'm glad you enjoyed the vid!
I used to enjoy your videos. I don’t anymore. I’ve bet you’ve lost a lot of subscribers….
Johnny is starting to read the writing on the wall. Eventually he'll come around and realize that NATO along with our own United States CIA, Victoria Nuland and John McCain are directly responsible for causing the proxy war with Russia and all the Ukrainian deaths ... not Russia, and certainly not Putin.
President Trump once asked "why do we even need NATO" ... and I agree with him. WE DON'T NEED NATO !!!
Trump only cares about NATO because he believes the European countries are not paying their fair share. But he wouldn't disband NATO because it has a purpose. NATO is the only reason why Russia is in check. It' common sense, bud.
@@peterstarzomczyk1613 ... President Trump wants to stop funding NATO completely. He said so numerous times! And everyone knows that without USA taxpayer dollars funding NATO, NATO will ultimately cease to exist.
Trump has said numerous times he will stop funding NATO.
You don't need NATO if you are d.mb as desk. Or if you are Kolya from Perm pretending to be American. Otherwise you need NATO as alliance to protect you allies. Unless you want your allies become someone's else allies against you one day. As it was not far ago.
@@user-hk3tl6iq4h ... Yeah, I'm a taxpaying citizen of the USA (born and raised) and I'm 64 years old. I'm tired of paying to protect other countries borders through NATO or directly to countries like Ukraine. So forgive me if I sound cold, but enough is enough! Frankly, I don't give a damn about other countries. I only care about my country, the USA. We can protect our own borders. We don't have to worry about Ukraine becoming part of Russia. And the majority of us MAGA supporters do not want our tax dollars disappearing through NATO or through Zelensky's corrupt government, as it has been under our current president Biden (the absolute WORST president on planet earth).
Slava Russia 😉 Z yraaa
Very well articulated. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for this much needed video Johnny. You did an excellent job putting things in perspective!
Glad it was helpful!
Hello,
Before the 1999 bombings, the Serbs didn't kill Bosnians.
The Serbs killed Bosnians in the Yugoslav civil wars (1991-1995).
In 1999 the Serbs killed Albanians, not Bosnians.
Hi thanks, I was speaking about the entire period 1991-1999 which I understand is technically two separate wars, but it's also a trend of Serbia attacking their neighbors.
Very informative and nicely produced! Слава Україні
Hi johnny, we appreciate your intellectual honesty
Johnny's feeling a stress none of us can fathom. Both countries he has established strong roots in are both under threat of being annihilated. Makes all our problems pale in comparison. Stay strong Johnny. Slava Ukraine, Slava Taiwan.
Nato Armed Ukraine to bomb Russia. You are misinformed.
@@DarkWoodsPresents That's aid, not intervention.
whats wrong with that ? thought so psssy
biggest donator of weapons to ukraine is Russia. Majority of weapons used by ukraine are Russian.
Ukraine belongs to the Ukrainians. Let them decide what's best for them.
BTW, great analysis. It makes perfect sense.

Stay safe, johnny.
Johnny is not just a body but has a brain too. The total package
Bad vid name and intro. Sounds just like Kremlin talking points even though your vid dispels that notion. Better to have an accurate title and intro. Word to the wise.
It's to sway those who believe the Russian propaganda to watch the video and debunk it.
Every sovereign nation has the inherent right to decide what organizations to join or not join. Russia has no say in the matter. Russia invaded Ukraine not because of NATO, but because they thought they could get away with it. You are wrong, Johnny, just like you were wrong when you said there was only a 5% chance of Russia invading Ukraine.
Soooooo according to your logic, I suppose we are to believe that just because 82% of Russians vote their leader as their president "again" because Russians want to dominate the world? You are such a complete M O R O N @@
I literally said this in my video, "Every sovereign nation has the inherent right to decide what organizations to join or not join."
And there was only a 5% chance Putin was stupid enough to actually invade Ukraine. Unfortunately he did it anyways.
It was important that NATO stepped in back then. And it would be important now too to step in for Ukraine
Great debunking, Johnny! This video has it all, a great troll silencer. You know your subject very well and clearly made an excellent content research and collection.
FREE UKRAINE 🇺🇦
8:11 Boris Elstine was completely drunk again, on auto-pilot, Putin waiting somewhere, to use him as a big drunk key to power.
Thanks Matt!
