I love the fact that Putin himself has made the best argument as to why Ukraine should definitely join NATO. Because if Ukraine had been a member of NATO, none of this would be happening, and we wouldn't be having this conversation. And all of the people who have perished so far on both sides, would still be alive. Because Putin would never invade a NATO country. He knows better..
World can't stop putin because Putin is a spoiled child whose just gonna throw his toys everywhere when he doesn't get his way, by toys i ofcourse mean nukes
Putin is like a guy who's girlfriend left him 30 years ago, and he's never gotten over it. He still thinks he can get her back. Give it up Putin. She's gone. She has moved on. She has had enough of your abuse. More importantly, she's much happier without you in her life.
His obsession over his former "girlfriend" is no different than trump's obsession with make America great again. Two extreme narcissists that only see the world through their myopic glasses. If America wants to survive, it must completely erase any viss
Lol man Americans know 0 about foreign politic’s , 3-4 years and the oligarch that would replace Putin would be replaced by someone from the Russian Mob, then you have a nuclear power run by real criminals good luck with that, how’s Libya, how’s Iraq, how’s Afghanistan, it’s morons like you that think oh it will be better when Putin’s gone , Putin is a true believer in Russia , wait to you get some corrupt puppet in there…. Like America currently has
Maybe people are getting confused with their Geography, North Korea Bad, South Korea Good...individuals shouldn’t be blamed for what their leaders do! Look at the Russian protests!
I think the West is missing the bigger picture here. I believe Putin is using or making an example of Ukraine to send a message to all the other former soviet republics that have distanced themselves from the old soviet union. Putin's Russia wants to bring these republics back under the Iron fist of Russia. By crushing Ukraine mercilessly they will make these republics very wary and much more likely to be compliant when it's their turn.
Over the centuries the misconception of Russia has been fueled by certain special interests who hate Russia, its civilization, culture and its spiritual life. Russia, according to these interests, is a land of slaves who admire cruelty and raw power. This phobia of all things Russian can be traced to members of the so-called "illuminated " philosophical societies; secret Masonic lodges and financiers who undermined France and brought about the Reign of Terror in the 1790s. The concept of the Russian soul, so often derided and misunderstood by the Western media, is in fact real and a great uniting bond among all Russian people. Socialism in Russia was imported from the West and imposed by force and violence at the cost of millions of lives, as it was so alien and incomprehensible to the Russian people. Russian resistance to bow to alien ideologies enraged all the proponents of socialism and liberal democracy. If not gracefully accepted by natives, it must be imposed by force regardless of the cost in human lives and national destruction. Erroneous views of a "dark and obscurantist Russia " made it a justification to impose a "liberating socialism" on Russia. The academic, mass media and show-business controllers of the West always have been in sympathy with Bolshevik and Marxist enforcers who took over Russia in 1917. The people of the world have only one choice: to accept "modern democracy" as defined by media-academic-liberal establishment. If they choose anything else they are immediately demonized and subject to the most violent punishment and enforcement. Russians must forever be prohibited from finding their own way of life and development and retain the culture and history that bound them together. The forces that unleashed communism in Russia from the Western civilization at the turn of the previous century are very much in power today and efforts to subjugate Russia have never been stronger. Russia and Russian people are a friendly universe who should never be conquered by alien systems and ideologies aiming to destroy its history, culture and very nationhood. Was the Soviet Union not created in New York city and london and Berlin by bankers please? Those who created the Soviet Union are the same people who created the State of Israel..
Still remember watching years ago on Polish news TV Khodorkovski's story, his personal fight with Putin's regime, how Putin was trying to destroy him. He was brave, fought for a long time. Balls of steel kind of a guy.

It's just sad that the democratization post USSR went bad. Russia could be a prosperous country keeping all the good sides about Russian culture. It's a textbook example of the dangers of tyranny. Neighboring countries and normal Russians pay the price. The only winner is China, which now has Russia in its leach and can buy resources at a discount. However if a worldwide recession is the result then China will lose, too.
There is little intrinsically wrong with communism in Russia. Where it really goes tits-up is when one megalomanic tyrant takes total power to the extent that there is no-one is ready to discuss alternative approaches in fear of their life. Stalin was one prime example, and Putin is another. He appears to have no moral compass when it comes to exacting extreme outcomes on any who are bold enough to defy him. The murders and attempted murders he has carried out already in the UK show this, and the tory government of the time acquiesced by not making a sufficiently forceful response to the Russian government at the time. We should have turned the sanction on then instead of appearing to the whole world weak and welcoming.

China may have access to cheap resources, but that will be a very short-lived advantage. I am more optimistic than Khodorkovsky. I don't believe Putin reaches the next winter in power. Ukraine, while suffering enormously from the indiscriminate bombing, is on the verge of taking the initiative. Putin will have no way around of doing something spectacular, to convince his supporters to keep him in power, after his army is driven out of Ukraine. Attacking Georgia or any other Asian state will just add to his problems - after all, he incessantly repeated, during the last two weeks, that it's NATO and the West that's out to get Russia, not any central Asian country, so going after some weak country, after being punched in the face by Ukraine, and _not_ going after Russia's number one enemy, which is responsible for the hardship that regular Russians must suffer, will be seen as weakness. You don't stay in power in Russia if you show weakness. So he'll either do nothing but lick his wounds and wait for an opportunity to attack a NATO country, or attack a NATO country straight away - his only available non-NATO target, in the West, is Moldova, but Moldova is insulated from Russia by Ukraine. In the first case, Russians will get him. In the second, NATO will gut him (and no, it's not a misspelling). Once Putin is no longer in power, whoever comes after him, will bend over backwards to repair relations with the West - if the West keeps the sanctions in place, the next Russian dictator won't even have time to consolidate his power before Russians topple him too, because of the hunger. In order to repair relations with the West, Russia has to offer something. Guess what will the Americans demand, besides reparations for Ukraine? Typically, at least the first few years after a war are of economic boom - recession comes somewhat later, if at all. Since the war in Ukraine is contained, and doesn't spread (for now, at least) to a wider area, chances are it won't cause a recession. China will still loose, because either way things go (i.e. regardless if Russians gut Putin or NATO guts Putin) Russia will come under EU and US economic and politic dominance.
As a Syrian that gives me hope. Because if he falls Assad will fall too. Because nothing is holding this government except the russian airforce. Maybe I go back and live there then.
Why are we so afraid how Putin understands something we eventually do, how he interprets our steps so that we don't accidentally offend him? To the hell with Putin's opinions. Kremlin has only one policy. To LIE. Kremlin power comes from lying. Lying big, and getting the whole damn world to play along with them. Once they got everybody agreeing with what they know in their hearts ain't true, they've got us by the neck. Putin is liar and faker, who rules trough fear. Atomics? Mutual assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy in which a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two or more opposing sides would cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender. Putin can not launch them by himself, he needs both Shoygu and Gerasimov to do so and they are not mad. Unless Russia is defeated in Ukraine NOW, before Kyiv, Kharkov, Odessaand other cities are razed to the ground by thermobaric weapons, if the west will not confront Putler now, then soon enough will world watch how Putin invades Moldova, Georgia and finally, small Baltic states - the NATO members. And then NATO will again do nothing serious for the same fear of russian nuclear weapons. Risk WW3 for such a little state? Pff. Maybe it is only civil war, better not meddle in it. That day will be the end of NATO as failed phony alliance. To break NATO and west by lies is long term target of Kremlin. If ordinary russian to this day DON'T even KNOW that there is war in Ukraine, then Putin will not stop. You think that after Putin prevails in Ukraine he will crawl back to his bankrupt Mordor and behave, suddenly being a good boy? Wake up everybody. Fuel, long range sams, ciws, iron dome, bring in anything, airdrop food and supplies. World is at war, stop Putin NOW, or else it will be only worse and more tragic. Russian federation MUST IMMEDIATELY feel the consequences of their barbaric war, that is the only way. It is dire need of actual power projection in Ukraine. For God sake give them at least fuel, long range sams, ciws, iron dome, bring in anything, airdrop food and supplies. Make some air bridge like in cold war Berlin. In these very moments there are children in Mariupol who dies from dehydration, there is NO water now, no supplies. Russians not let anyone in or out. All ways from the city are mined and shelled. Hospitals in numerous cities are now deliberately shelled and bombed. It is russian pattern. Encircle the city and shell it with Grad and Smerch rocket artilery, conventional artilery, airstrikes... salvo after salvo. You saw it in Grozny, you saw it in Syria, now you can see this in Mariupol and Khariv. Purpose is one and only - to inflict TERROR, to break morale, by ruthless killing of women and children alike. The most barbaric way to wage a war. It is genocide. Another of long line of war crimes made by Putin. Recent reckless attacks on nuclear energy power plants and blatant cynical violations of the Geneva Conventions show us clearly, that Putin's Russia is terrorist state, unpredictable, lying, deceptive and dangerous to humankind. It is war against western world. How long will be just keep watching. Must Chornobyl, where russians now cut of power for cooling, again leak radiation. Must the biggest european nuclear power plant Zaporizhzhia became another Chornobyl dissaster? Must we see radioactive cloud overe Europe again, and only then we maybe seriously assist Ukraine or what? Do you know that russians there allowed only skeleton crew to hold them as hostages and that russians rigged this facality with explosives? This is nuclear terrorism. Pure and simple. Putin is and always has been killer (rememeber Litvinenko, Politkovskaya, Nemcov and many others), and now we already know his recent stunt - he send "Wagner group" neo-nazi murderers and assassins to Kyiv to kill Zelenskyy, his cabinet members, and even their families. I reckon he is trully mentally ill. After all "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" as Lord Acton said already in 19th century. Quite accurate description of tsar Putin the Bloody . "Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject." - John Stuart Mill, 1867 "Appeasement policy, the policy of appeasing Hitler and Mussolini, operating jointly at that time, during 1937 and 1938 by continuous concessions granted in the hope of reaching a point of saturation when the dictators would be willing to accede to international collaboration. ... It came to an end when Hitler seized Czechoslovakia on March 15, 1939, in defiance of his promises given at Munich, and Prime Minister Chamberlain, who had championed appeasement before, decided on a policy of resistance to further German aggression." - Walter Theimer (ed.), The Penguin Political Dictionary, 1939 Putin understands only power and determination. Everything else is sign of weakness for him. Do everything what is in your power to drive Putin's kleptocracy to the end. I wish there were influential politicians who could see things clearly. Those who would not be frightened, weak, shaky and corrupt through money from the oligarchs of East and West alike. Those who had the determination of real leaders capable of taking responsibility. Maybe they still exist somewhere and maybe their voice will get to the right ears before is too late, I still believe it, I have to. Talk to your representatives. God bless you.

I fully support the sanctioning of EVERY RUSSIAN OLIGARCH. Every one of these people bears responsibility for EVERYTHING that occurs in Russia. If anything, every one of them should be forced to return to Russia and every single "investment" they own be garnisheed back to the country the investements exist in. If however, these "OLIGARCH's" accept responsibility for Russia, specifically PUTIN, and offer ways to REMOVE HIM FROM POWER ....any ways ....AND ACT TO HAVE PUTIN REMOVED ....THEN...considerations to stop personal sanctions could be considered against those OLIGARCHs who embrace and take an active role in PUTIN's removal. Otherwise, EVERY RUSSIAN OLIGARCH SHOULD BE SANCTIONED PERMANENTLY. Once PUTIN is removed, EVERY RUSSIAN MILITARY LEADER needs then to be tried in the World Court for supporting Putin and murdering innocent civilians. If PUTIN was to be tried, the verdict should take him to a public, televised firing squad with 21 rifles ...each loaded with one bullet. Then each of his military team should follow with the same details. This entire process, trial to execution, should be completed within TWO MONTHS of PUTIN's removal. . .

If he was on Putin's side, he would be telling us Putin isn't invading Ukraine and he is winning. When we know that isn't the truth.

The underestimation of the century. Putin really though it would be a walk into the Ukraine and it would be all over in three days. Whoever gave him advice is not looking good right now.
I still believe that putin is just messing about he is waiting for a response from the west so they can escalate it. Just in my opinion I don’t feel Putin would invade if there was the slightest chance he wouldn’t win. I feel like this is just all part of basically his endgame I just don’t feel like he would attack now unless ready with the west been looking for years to dethrone him. Also I don’t buy how much this war is being forced down the worlds throat and manipulated by the media I don’t know what to believe .

@@ericsneary5430 ok i think he says "banksters" as in bankers/gangsters, so people in financial sector who were tangled in shady business that enabled foreign influence for profits... that would make sense. I initially (and maybe you) didn't catch the drift, and thought he just says western bankers are in trouble.
This dude is not just "a russian", he was the richest oligarch in the whole Russia, before he dared to harshly criticize Putin and was imprisoned for 10 years, all his assets taken away and stolen, and then forced in exile. I've seen him years ago, in a documentary on Putin dated 2018, he was already vehemently spewing shit on him, he HATES Putin's guts lol
As a result of corruption schemes, the assets of the company, which became known as Yukos, were stolen from the state. The value of assets on paper at the time of privatization was $ 300 million. Within a week, this asset was worth $ 6 billion, and in a few years $ 50 billion. Putin returned this asset to state ownership. He didn't take it for himself, not for friends. So the phrase "corrupt bankruptcy process" is not appropriate here.
He’s right about adding more sanctions they need to really feel the pressure unfortunately the Russian will be punished but they need to stand up to Putin

Journalist: "If we sanction all these billionaire oligarchs will they press Putin to stop the war?" Russian oligarch: "No, things in Russia don't work like in the US, where presidents have to respond to the billionaires that financed their campaigns. In Russia, Putin controls the billionaires, not the other way around."
@@D.A.OhK. Not really. The oligarchs, in Russia, are just the deep pockets the dictator and his cronies in the secret services can reach when they need it. Any oligarch can be stripped of all of his wealth, unless he's smart and leaves Russia in time, with whatever he can transfer abroad, before the secret police catches on. Any oligarch that steps out of line, besides being stripped of his wealth, also lands in prison, or is even killed, depending how bad his deviation is. It's feudalism in its worst form. Putin owns everything. Oligarchs only get things on lease, and need to pay tribute to their feudal overlord.
In case it isn't already clear enough, I want to stress how clever Mikhail is and how we should be listening to his advice. Also, in my personal opinion, we should find a way to connect and support Russian people who do not stand for any of this.
Thank you for your support. I stopped watching the news at all after he was jailed back in 2002 cause I realised the news would only get worse. I only started again when I emigrated in late 10s cause it seemed more bearable since then. Now my heart bleeds for my country being destroyed by the ambition of a single madman. Even those who support Vlad back there only do so because they are detained from the truth. They simply don't know that civilians are bombed and killed. They are not bloodthirsty people - just show them the truth and no support would remain. That's the mission that no one talks about, everyone talks about sanctions...

I don’t know any Russians but a lot of them actually do support him. He has studied communism well enough to know that to be successful, you need to silence all opposition and force the media to spew out only your views and narratives. This is difficult in the age but not impossible, and easier in a proud country that has lost its former glory.

Very insightful observations by this gentleman. Actually, militarily, this invasion wasn't handled with any of the tactical acumen I had thought the russians possessed.

Knowing the Russians, I think the overall battle plan was known to the senior commanders, of whom a few are now dead, so going down the chain of command, parts of that plan had been lost, and now we know their secure comms had been compromised as well. So, probably more than one unit were left poorly supplied with only a vague idea of what to do and where to go, but they seem to be regrouping.
And, their commanders experience is declining with the loss of high ranking officers. However, it's good and bad. As Russia's invasion has stalled, Russia is just using artillery indiscriminately on cities. He doesn't need competent tactics to continue that. Which means, the less successful Russia is, the more devastating the damage is as Putin lashes out.

Agree. I don't care if I pay $20 a gallon at the pump, it is nothing compared to the horrific state of Affairs the Ukrainians are dealing with. And everyone world wide is paying high prices at the pump, not just the U.S.
Why are we so afraid how Putin understands something we eventually do, how he interprets our steps so that we don't accidentally offend him? To the hell with Putin's opinions. Kremlin has only one policy. To LIE. Kremlin power comes from lying. Lying big, and getting the whole damn world to play along with them. Once they got everybody agreeing with what they know in their hearts ain't true, they've got us by the neck. Putin is liar and faker, who rules trough fear. Atomics? Mutual assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy in which a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two or more opposing sides would cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender. Putin can not launch them by himself, he needs both Shoygu and Gerasimov to do so and they are not mad. Unless Russia is defeated in Ukraine NOW, before Kyiv, Kharkov, Odessaand other cities are razed to the ground by thermobaric weapons, if the west will not confront Putler now, then soon enough will world watch how Putin invades Moldova, Georgia and finally, small Baltic states - the NATO members. And then NATO will again do nothing serious for the same fear of russian nuclear weapons. Risk WW3 for such a little state? Pff. Maybe it is only civil war, better not meddle in it. That day will be the end of NATO as failed phony alliance. To break NATO and west by lies is long term target of Kremlin. If ordinary russian to this day DON'T even KNOW that there is war in Ukraine, then Putin will not stop. You think that after Putin prevails in Ukraine he will crawl back to his bankrupt Mordor and behave, suddenly being a good boy? Wake up everybody. Fuel, long range sams, ciws, iron dome, bring in anything, airdrop food and supplies. World is at war, stop Putin NOW, or else it will be only worse and more tragic. Russian federation MUST IMMEDIATELY feel the consequences of their barbaric war, that is the only way. It is dire need of actual power projection in Ukraine. For God sake give them at least fuel, long range sams, ciws, iron dome, bring in anything, airdrop food and supplies. Make some air bridge like in cold war Berlin. In these very moments there are children in Mariupol who dies from dehydration, there is NO water now, no supplies. Russians not let anyone in or out. All ways from the city are mined and shelled. Hospitals in numerous cities are now deliberately shelled and bombed. It is russian pattern. Encircle the city and shell it with Grad and Smerch rocket artilery, conventional artilery, airstrikes... salvo after salvo. You saw it in Grozny, you saw it in Syria, now you can see this in Mariupol and Khariv. Purpose is one and only - to inflict TERROR, to break morale, by ruthless killing of women and children alike. The most barbaric way to wage a war. It is genocide. Another of long line of war crimes made by Putin. Recent reckless attacks on nuclear energy power plants and blatant cynical violations of the Geneva Conventions show us clearly, that Putin's Russia is terrorist state, unpredictable, lying, deceptive and dangerous to humankind. It is war against western world. How long will be just keep watching. Must Chornobyl, where russians now cut of power for cooling, again leak radiation. Must the biggest european nuclear power plant Zaporizhzhia became another Chornobyl dissaster? Must we see radioactive cloud overe Europe again, and only then we maybe seriously assist Ukraine or what? Do you know that russians there allowed only skeleton crew to hold them as hostages and that russians rigged this facality with explosives? This is nuclear terrorism. Pure and simple. Putin is and always has been killer (rememeber Litvinenko, Politkovskaya, Nemcov and many others), and now we already know his recent stunt - he send "Wagner group" neo-nazi murderers and assassins to Kyiv to kill Zelenskyy, his cabinet members, and even their families. I reckon he is trully mentally ill. After all "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" as Lord Acton said already in 19th century. Quite accurate description of tsar Putin the Bloody . "Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject." - John Stuart Mill, 1867 "Appeasement policy, the policy of appeasing Hitler and Mussolini, operating jointly at that time, during 1937 and 1938 by continuous concessions granted in the hope of reaching a point of saturation when the dictators would be willing to accede to international collaboration. ... It came to an end when Hitler seized Czechoslovakia on March 15, 1939, in defiance of his promises given at Munich, and Prime Minister Chamberlain, who had championed appeasement before, decided on a policy of resistance to further German aggression." - Walter Theimer (ed.), The Penguin Political Dictionary, 1939 Putin understands only power and determination. Everything else is sign of weakness for him. Do everything what is in your power to drive Putin's kleptocracy to the end. I wish there were influential politicians who could see things clearly. Those who would not be frightened, weak, shaky and corrupt through money from the oligarchs of East and West alike. Those who had the determination of real leaders capable of taking responsibility. Maybe they still exist somewhere and maybe their voice will get to the right ears before is too late, I still believe it, I have to. Talk to your representatives. God bless you.
If Ukraine wanted to join Russia's influence, they wouldn't have left the Soviet Union in the first place ... they would have stayed ... but they wanted to go their own way and align more with the west ... a soverign nation that wants to determine their own future.
Their government was pro Russia and heavily influenced by it until a U.S. backed coup in 2014. Russia took Crimea shortly thereafter. What Putin is doing is wrong, but it is far more complex than Russia attacking a sovereign nation.
@@louiss.7765 the amount of people welcoming WWIII disturbs me. Yeah, let’s cause millions to die just to stick it to Putin. Maybe we should keep our nose out of other countries governments and these proxy wars would be avoided.
@@benjaminw309 if the situation is so complex why did Putin decide to simply attack Ukraine? No I don't want WW3. Putin stuck it to himself because of a bruised ego.
@@louiss.7765 what? Either you failed to communicate your message or you don’t make any sense. If Putin complexly attacked Ukraine would that be better? What is a simple attack? I’d say there’s a lot of complexity that the public knows nothing about when it comes any military action, especially one on the scale we see. Few things are as simple as the seem. Furthermore, history goes back a long time and many important factors become lost to time. Most importantly in this situation, everyone has an opinion, many people even have convictions that may or may not be based in truth or fact. Most of us with opinions have no connection to any of this… most of us are thousands of miles away from this, most of us know nothing about what is really happening elsewhere. I highly doubt the US public is very informed about current foreign affairs aside from the skewed view we get from the media. It’s easy to claim that it’s simple, and see it as good guy vs bad guy, and it could in fact be that simple, but in reality nothing is that simple. Good vs bad is an easy story to tell, it does make things much more simple than real life. A bad guy vs bad guy is much harder to tell, and much harder for others to follow along with, and it makes it very hard to know who to root for… there’s also a good chance that one bad guy defeats the other… then you’re left with a very complicated situation! I’m not saying one side here is bad, but I am saying that both sides are human! No human is pure and good, that’s a fantasy! I doubt that any human is pure evil, but I can’t be sure… No matter what, in this situation, there’s no winners, only losers! Russia can’t win, even if they achieve 100% success the long term cost will be high! Ukraine has already lost, even if they repel Russia and suffer no more loses, they’ve already paid a grave price but beyond the immediate, there’s not a way to remove the literal tons of weapons that have flooded into their county. Long after this situation has been resolved there will be copious amounts of undocumented weapons floating around the region, we have ample proof that will be a problem for many years of even decades. But hey, if you think it’s as simple as Putin bad then I guess that makes it a lot easier to get through the day, then by all means live in your fantasy
This guy was almost the leader of Russia but Putin jaled him, took all his billions of dollars that he had and took his oil and gas company. I hope that he can become the Russian leader after Putin will lose his power and he should get Yukos back.
Pres Biden made that point .. his years of experience in foreign relations are the reason he is being very careful to try not to let this happen .. kudos to him .. he deserves much more credit than he is given .. this terrible situation requires cool heads & clear thinking & hopefully, an Assassination!! ⛪🇺🇦💙🇦🇺
But, he has first hand experience with Putin that we do not!!! He gave us the answer... Freeze 💯% or defend Ukraine!! I say send NATO planes in... Equal number from each country!!! Bomb Russian airstrips, clear the path, send in our best and take him/ them into custody. Irradicate the communists and proceed with charges of war crimes. Everybody else breathe a sigh of relief!!!
Listen to this man, he has wisdom. It's not, in the first place, to bring Putin to his knees (although that is also important), but to STOP the war, and bring back peace to the poor people of Ukraine. This man has been on the summit of international finance, he knows what he is speaking about.
But u can see that the west(US) n the ppl over there have 2 different meanings to this conflict. The west keeps talking about getting Putin to his knees n ppl over there are lk look we just want this war to end whether Putin is "on his knees" or not. It's NOT gonna be easy to take Putin out of Presidency. We gotta live with him being in the world as a leader of a massive country.

Stop calling them "oligarchs." There is virtually no difference at all between these super wealthy Russians and your typical American billionaire who owns multiple businesses.
Russian Bot. They have far more influence over Russia than billionaires do over America (which is saying a TON bc billionaires do already have a lot of play over the US).
In post Soviet countries these people are oligarchs. In USA a businessman couldn't affect the presidential election or who is to become a senator, but in such countries as russia they can. Although this man wasn't an oligarch, I'm aware of his biography, he was just a Putin's enemy and spent ten years in prison because of this.
not true, the Oligarchy was given when the USSR was disbanded in the late 1900s. all businesses that were seized by the state were just handed to these businessmen for no reason other than being friends with the new parliament. once Putin rose to power he gave even more of the state controlled businesses over to his closest friends. there are several oligarchs with nicknames such as "Putins chef" and etc. a lot of American billionaires started from the bottom. very few made it to the top without shady dealings as the climb to the top is easier when you use people's throats as a ladder.

Reminder that Khordokovsky was the one that during a public meeting told Putin Russia needs to curb corruption in order to succeed, which angered Putin so much he marked him as an enemy.
That's not what happened, khordokovsky had people killed and didn't pay taxes and broke lots of rules and transferred the profits of yukos offshore. Acquired yukos in a rigged auction in the first place.
@@СтаниславКечин-м9и True, here in the "west" there is only one story being told, I feel like the west have done something major to upset Putin recently, we just are not told what it is.
Khodorkovsky is one of many thieves and corrupt officials, suspected of organizing contract killings in order to seize someone else's business, Putin released Khodorkovsky from prison by his order! Now this thief is portraying a fighter for democracy and receives bonuses for anti-Russian activities! Europe has entered schizophrenia! Nazis and fascists were brought to power in Ukraine, and Putin is to blame! Russia supplied gas and oil at low constant prices, and European speculators inflated wild prices and again Putin is to blame! The US is pumping capital out of Europe and solving its economic problems at the expense of Europe, prices are rising and Putin is to blame again!
I think this is infuriating. I see differences between Russia and the rest of Europe, but there is no reason why Russia can not remove issues with Europe apart from Putin and Cold War mentality.
You "see differences between Russia and the rest of Europe"? Huge differences, there are zero cultural similarities between Russians and other European nations.
@@jandarmofeurope2676 It used to be. Then during the Soviet era, when normal Russian civilians were effectively sealed off from the rest of Europe, entire generations were born indoctrinated into the Soviet system with no real understanding of 'European culture' beyond that which the Kremlin permitted. Then the Soviet era ended and Russians realised how different they were when the West opened up. Now they are being ostracised again - only this time there is a generation of Russians who know what they are losing. You don't need to look far to see the reports of the Russian brain-drain as the nation's brightest and most creative minds try any means to leave a sinking ship.
@@jandarmofeurope2676 "Stupid"? Ok, that's a start, you get -1 just for being obnoxious. There is a shared history of "exchange" of culture, like music, art and literature, but that's about it, little more. There are more cultural similarities with North Africa and the Middle East than with Russia (alphabet, numerical system, etc.). Any territorial similarity is, and always has been, through belligerence, little more. Try telling a Pole or a Hungarian that they are culturally similar to a Russian and their reaction will be far more distasteful than your own, demonstrably ignorant, comment.

How come this "Oligarch" word being used so much only for russian influential people and but not others? Feels like intentional stereotyping. Never heard of this word so much before the Ukraine issue.
Whilst I agree there are other rich people in power who the word could apply to, in the USA they are often companies/lobbies more than individuals. The fall of the Soviet Union created a situation where a lot of oligarchs (as in one businessperson, whose wealth grants them great influence - at least over the "common" people) were able to rise to power in a way that isn't so common in the rest of the world - a lot of wealth in Europe is generational, a lot of wealth in the Middle East is a mix of nobility/warlord/oil money and of all of those are territorial wealth... The oligarch is not a uniquely Russian phenomenon, but it is a specific kind of wealth and influence that there was more space for, in the collapse of the USSR. I'm unfamiliar with East Asian wealth patterns, so I can't speak to how those are addressed in the news, but I'm assuming you're referring mainly to the disparity between how Russia and the USA are addressed in media.
I love the fact that Putin himself has made the best argument as to why Ukraine should definitely join NATO.
Because if Ukraine had been a member of NATO, none of this would be happening, and we wouldn't be having this conversation. And all of the people who have perished so far on both sides, would still be alive. Because Putin would never invade a NATO country. He knows better..

Over the centuries the misconception of Russia has been fueled by certain special interests who hate Russia, its civilization, culture and its spiritual life. Russia, according to these interests, is a land of slaves who admire cruelty and raw power. This phobia of all things Russian can be traced to members of the so-called "illuminated " philosophical societies; secret Masonic lodges and financiers who undermined France and brought about the Reign of Terror in the 1790s.
The concept of the Russian soul, so often derided and misunderstood by the Western media, is in fact real and a great uniting bond among all Russian people.
Socialism in Russia was imported from the West and imposed by force and violence at the cost of millions of lives, as it was so alien and incomprehensible to the Russian people.
Russian resistance to bow to alien ideologies enraged all the proponents of socialism and liberal democracy. If not gracefully accepted by natives, it must be imposed by force regardless of the cost in human lives and national destruction.
Erroneous views of a "dark and obscurantist Russia " made it a justification to impose a "liberating socialism" on Russia.
The academic, mass media and show-business controllers of the West always have been in sympathy with Bolshevik and Marxist enforcers who took over Russia in 1917. The people of the world have only one choice: to accept "modern democracy" as defined by media-academic-liberal establishment. If they choose anything else they are immediately demonized and subject to the most violent punishment and enforcement. Russians must forever be prohibited from finding their own way of life and development and retain the culture and history that bound them together.
The forces that unleashed communism in Russia from the Western civilization at the turn of the previous century are very much in power today and efforts to subjugate Russia have never been stronger. Russia and Russian people are a friendly universe who should never be conquered by alien systems and ideologies aiming to destroy its history, culture and very nationhood. Was the Soviet Union not created in New York city and london and Berlin by bankers please? Those who created the Soviet Union are the same people who created the State of Israel..
Ukraine has created all this ,and of course NATO
Still remember watching years ago on Polish news TV Khodorkovski's story, his personal fight with Putin's regime, how Putin was trying to destroy him. He was brave, fought for a long time. Balls of steel kind of a guy.

He's absolutely right, in saying EVERYTHING meaning EVERYTHING must be stopped IMMEDIATELY...
It's just sad that the democratization post USSR went bad. Russia could be a prosperous country keeping all the good sides about Russian culture. It's a textbook example of the dangers of tyranny. Neighboring countries and normal Russians pay the price. The only winner is China, which now has Russia in its leach and can buy resources at a discount. However if a worldwide recession is the result then China will lose, too.
There is little intrinsically wrong with communism in Russia. Where it really goes tits-up is when one megalomanic tyrant takes total power to the extent that there is no-one is ready to discuss alternative approaches in fear of their life. Stalin was one prime example, and Putin is another. He appears to have no moral compass when it comes to exacting extreme outcomes on any who are bold enough to defy him. The murders and attempted murders he has carried out already in the UK show this, and the tory government of the time acquiesced by not making a sufficiently forceful response to the Russian government at the time. We should have turned the sanction on then instead of appearing to the whole world weak and welcoming.
Bill Clinton and particularly George W. BUSH/CHENEY were incredibly enept during the demise of the Soviet Union.

The concept of the Russian soul, so often derided and misunderstood by the Western media, is in fact real and a great uniting bond among all Russian people.
Socialism in Russia was imported from the West and imposed by force and violence at the cost of millions of lives, as it was so alien and incomprehensible to the Russian people.
Russian resistance to bow to alien ideologies enraged all the proponents of socialism and liberal democracy. If not gracefully accepted by natives, it must be imposed by force regardless of the cost in human lives and national destruction.
Erroneous views of a "dark and obscurantist Russia " made it a justification to impose a "liberating socialism" on Russia.
The academic, mass media and show-business controllers of the West always have been in sympathy with Bolshevik and Marxist enforcers who took over Russia in 1917. The people of the world have only one choice: to accept "modern democracy" as defined by media-academic-liberal establishment. If they choose anything else they are immediately demonized and subject to the most violent punishment and enforcement. Russians must forever be prohibited from finding their own way of life and development and retain the culture and history that bound them together.
The forces that unleashed communism in Russia from the Western civilization at the turn of the previous century are very much in power today and efforts to subjugate Russia have never been stronger. Russia and Russian people are a friendly universe who should never be conquered by alien systems and ideologies aiming to destroy its history, culture and very nationhood. Was the Soviet Union not created in New York city and london and Berlin by bankers please? Those who created the Soviet Union are the same people who created the State of Israel..
China may have access to cheap resources, but that will be a very short-lived advantage.
I am more optimistic than Khodorkovsky. I don't believe Putin reaches the next winter in power. Ukraine, while suffering enormously from the indiscriminate bombing, is on the verge of taking the initiative. Putin will have no way around of doing something spectacular, to convince his supporters to keep him in power, after his army is driven out of Ukraine. Attacking Georgia or any other Asian state will just add to his problems - after all, he incessantly repeated, during the last two weeks, that it's NATO and the West that's out to get Russia, not any central Asian country, so going after some weak country, after being punched in the face by Ukraine, and _not_ going after Russia's number one enemy, which is responsible for the hardship that regular Russians must suffer, will be seen as weakness. You don't stay in power in Russia if you show weakness. So he'll either do nothing but lick his wounds and wait for an opportunity to attack a NATO country, or attack a NATO country straight away - his only available non-NATO target, in the West, is Moldova, but Moldova is insulated from Russia by Ukraine. In the first case, Russians will get him. In the second, NATO will gut him (and no, it's not a misspelling).
Once Putin is no longer in power, whoever comes after him, will bend over backwards to repair relations with the West - if the West keeps the sanctions in place, the next Russian dictator won't even have time to consolidate his power before Russians topple him too, because of the hunger. In order to repair relations with the West, Russia has to offer something. Guess what will the Americans demand, besides reparations for Ukraine?
Typically, at least the first few years after a war are of economic boom - recession comes somewhat later, if at all. Since the war in Ukraine is contained, and doesn't spread (for now, at least) to a wider area, chances are it won't cause a recession. China will still loose, because either way things go (i.e. regardless if Russians gut Putin or NATO guts Putin) Russia will come under EU and US economic and politic dominance.
How about we stop buying Chinese junk they allready destroyed us for 2 years
As a Syrian that gives me hope. Because if he falls Assad will fall too. Because nothing is holding this government except the russian airforce. Maybe I go back and live there then.
Why are we so afraid how Putin understands something we eventually do, how he interprets our steps so that we don't accidentally offend him? To the hell with Putin's opinions. Kremlin has only one policy. To LIE. Kremlin power comes from lying. Lying big, and getting the whole damn world to play along with them. Once they got everybody agreeing with what they know in their hearts ain't true, they've got us by the neck.
Putin is liar and faker, who rules trough fear. Atomics? Mutual assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy in which a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two or more opposing sides would cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender. Putin can not launch them by himself, he needs both Shoygu and Gerasimov to do so and they are not mad.
Unless Russia is defeated in Ukraine NOW, before Kyiv, Kharkov, Odessaand other cities are razed to the ground by thermobaric weapons, if the west will not confront Putler now, then soon enough will world watch how Putin invades Moldova, Georgia and finally, small Baltic states - the NATO members. And then NATO will again do nothing serious for the same fear of russian nuclear weapons. Risk WW3 for such a little state? Pff. Maybe it is only civil war, better not meddle in it. That day will be the end of NATO as failed phony alliance. To break NATO and west by lies is long term target of Kremlin.
If ordinary russian to this day DON'T even KNOW that there is war in Ukraine, then Putin will not stop. You think that after Putin prevails in Ukraine he will crawl back to his bankrupt Mordor and behave, suddenly being a good boy? Wake up everybody. Fuel, long range sams, ciws, iron dome, bring in anything, airdrop food and supplies. World is at war, stop Putin NOW, or else it will be only worse and more tragic. Russian federation MUST IMMEDIATELY feel the consequences of their barbaric war, that is the only way.
It is dire need of actual power projection in Ukraine. For God sake give them at least fuel, long range sams, ciws, iron dome, bring in anything, airdrop food and supplies. Make some air bridge like in cold war Berlin.
In these very moments there are children in Mariupol who dies from dehydration, there is NO water now, no supplies. Russians not let anyone in or out. All ways from the city are mined and shelled. Hospitals in numerous cities are now deliberately shelled and bombed. It is russian pattern. Encircle the city and shell it with Grad and Smerch rocket artilery, conventional artilery, airstrikes... salvo after salvo. You saw it in Grozny, you saw it in Syria, now you can see this in Mariupol and Khariv. Purpose is one and only - to inflict TERROR, to break morale, by ruthless killing of women and children alike. The most barbaric way to wage a war. It is genocide. Another of long line of war crimes made by Putin. Recent reckless attacks on nuclear energy power plants and blatant cynical violations of the Geneva Conventions show us clearly, that Putin's Russia is terrorist state, unpredictable, lying, deceptive and dangerous to humankind. It is war against western world.
How long will be just keep watching. Must Chornobyl, where russians now cut of power for cooling, again leak radiation. Must the biggest european nuclear power plant Zaporizhzhia became another Chornobyl dissaster? Must we see radioactive cloud overe Europe again, and only then we maybe seriously assist Ukraine or what? Do you know that russians there allowed only skeleton crew to hold them as hostages and that russians rigged this facality with explosives? This is nuclear terrorism. Pure and simple.
Putin is and always has been killer (rememeber Litvinenko, Politkovskaya, Nemcov and many others), and now we already know his recent stunt - he send "Wagner group" neo-nazi murderers and assassins to Kyiv to kill Zelenskyy, his cabinet members, and even their families. I reckon he is trully mentally ill.
After all "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" as Lord Acton said already in 19th century. Quite accurate description of tsar Putin the Bloody .
"Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject."
- John Stuart Mill, 1867
"Appeasement policy, the policy of appeasing Hitler and Mussolini, operating jointly at that time, during 1937 and 1938 by continuous concessions granted in the hope of reaching a point of saturation when the dictators would be willing to accede to international collaboration. ... It came to an end when Hitler seized Czechoslovakia on March 15, 1939, in defiance of his promises given at Munich, and Prime Minister Chamberlain, who had championed appeasement before,
decided on a policy of resistance to further German aggression."
- Walter Theimer (ed.), The Penguin Political Dictionary, 1939
Putin understands only power and determination. Everything else is sign of weakness for him. Do everything what is in your power to drive Putin's kleptocracy to the end. I wish there were influential politicians who could see things clearly. Those who would not be frightened, weak, shaky and corrupt through money from the oligarchs of East and West alike. Those who had the determination of real leaders capable of taking responsibility. Maybe they still exist somewhere and maybe their voice will get to the right ears before is too late, I still believe it, I have to. Talk to your representatives. God bless you.
Wish you the best! Hopefully, you will live in your country in peace some day.

I hope all war stops. I hope people realize that it is not just Putin but all countries that have caused this war and many other wars.
It is just Putin who started this particular war.
truth
I fully support the sanctioning of EVERY RUSSIAN OLIGARCH.
Every one of these people bears responsibility for EVERYTHING that occurs in Russia. If anything, every one of them should be forced to return to Russia and every single "investment" they own be garnisheed back to the country the investements exist in.
If however, these "OLIGARCH's" accept responsibility for Russia, specifically PUTIN, and offer ways to REMOVE HIM FROM POWER ....any ways ....AND ACT TO HAVE PUTIN REMOVED ....THEN...considerations to stop personal sanctions could be considered against those OLIGARCHs who embrace and take an active role in PUTIN's removal. Otherwise, EVERY RUSSIAN OLIGARCH SHOULD BE SANCTIONED PERMANENTLY.
Once PUTIN is removed, EVERY RUSSIAN MILITARY LEADER needs then to be tried in the World Court for supporting Putin and murdering innocent civilians.
If PUTIN was to be tried, the verdict should take him to a public, televised firing squad with 21 rifles ...each loaded with one bullet. Then each of his military team should follow with the same details.
This entire process, trial to execution, should be completed within TWO MONTHS of PUTIN's removal.

MY PRAYERS TO ALL UKRAINIANS, YOU ARE LEGION, YOU DO NOT FORGIVE, YOU DO NOT FORGET, SLAVA UKRAINI
5:30 "We may yet to wait a few years" - omg, Ukraine has no years.
In case it isn't already clear enough, I want to stress how clever Mikhail is and how we should be listening to his advice.
Also, in my personal opinion, we should find a way to connect and support Russian people who do not stand for any of this.
Thank you for your support. I stopped watching the news at all after he was jailed back in 2002 cause I realised the news would only get worse. I only started again when I emigrated in late 10s cause it seemed more bearable since then. Now my heart bleeds for my country being destroyed by the ambition of a single madman.
Even those who support Vlad back there only do so because they are detained from the truth. They simply don't know that civilians are bombed and killed. They are not bloodthirsty people - just show them the truth and no support would remain. That's the mission that no one talks about, everyone talks about sanctions...
20k + in jail in russia already just for saying "No to war"
I appreciate this comment. For thousands of years, the people have always been at the mercy of the humans in power. I think for the most of us worldwide, we want to live in peace, raise our children, shelter, feed and clothe them and see them grow to be healthy and happy.
I don’t know any Russians but a lot of them actually do support him. He has studied communism well enough to know that to be successful, you need to silence all opposition and force the media to spew out only your views and narratives. This is difficult in the age but not impossible, and easier in a proud country that has lost its former glory.
What is the original purpose or goal?
This man is speaking from common sense and experience, I hope america listens to him.
1/2 of America wanted another 4 years of Trump who has literally styled himself WITH Putin, saying in Helsinki that he trusted Putin MORE than 13 American Defense and Intelligence Agencies!!! America is at the BRINK of a totalitarian regime like Putin with the GOP/Trump Loyalist who hate a free press (aka "fake news"), hate NATO, and anything else that smacks of social democracy. I fully expect the Trump Party to take over and keep power after they rig the elections their way in 2022 and going forward.
He says "until this war ends".
OK but for how long until it ends? People will start to complain and become angry if gas prices and food prices continue to climb.
khodorkovsky was a corrupt oligarch who murdered journalists as he and the other oligarchs plundered that country before Putin threw them all out. That's why they all hate him. I can't believe that so many people continue to believe the same liars that brought us the Iraq weapons of mass destruction lie that led to the slaughter of half a million people - but here we are, believing them all over again.

Would hope that Putins inner circle and high ranking Generals are starting to whisper amongst themselves that maybe they need to get rid of him. Russia could be so prosperous given their resources and size of country. The Russian people deserve Freedom. Real freedom.
be careful what you wish for, someone even more deranged than putin could take over. china would install a puppet government before russia ever becomes a true democracy.

it doesn't matter if putler is killed, another kgb agent will take his place. its like saying that killing of hitlary will remove democrats from power

The recession will be starting this fall if not sooner. Remember, keep CHARGING up stuff you can't really afford so you can be sure to really dig yourself into that hole.
I hope all people in Capitol in Washington DC will drink tea or coffe with Novichok
Very insightful observations by this gentleman. Actually, militarily, this invasion wasn't handled with any of the tactical acumen I had thought the russians possessed. I'm actually surprised at the appparent ineptitude of their commanders. It bodes well for the Ukrainians in the short term. Hopefully, we (the West and NATO), will use this time to boolster the ukrainian ability to resist with financial/materiel/and military aid.
Knowing the Russians, I think the overall battle plan was known to the senior commanders, of whom a few are now dead, so going down the chain of command, parts of that plan had been lost, and now we know their secure comms had been compromised as well. So, probably more than one unit were left poorly supplied with only a vague idea of what to do and where to go, but they seem to be regrouping.
Strongly agree 👍 I thought the Russian would be tough turns out this is not the case Ukraine is handling them quite well !
And, their commanders experience is declining with the loss of high ranking officers.
However, it's good and bad. As Russia's invasion has stalled, Russia is just using artillery indiscriminately on cities. He doesn't need competent tactics to continue that. Which means, the less successful Russia is, the more devastating the damage is as Putin lashes out.

Why is Tucker at Fox supporting Putin ?? Troubling.

Agree. I don't care if I pay $20 a gallon at the pump, it is nothing compared to the horrific state of Affairs the Ukrainians are dealing with. And everyone world wide is paying high prices at the pump, not just the U.S.
Why are we so afraid how Putin understands something we eventually do, how he interprets our steps so that we don't accidentally offend him? To the hell with Putin's opinions. Kremlin has only one policy. To LIE. Kremlin power comes from lying. Lying big, and getting the whole damn world to play along with them. Once they got everybody agreeing with what they know in their hearts ain't true, they've got us by the neck.
Putin is liar and faker, who rules trough fear. Atomics? Mutual assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy in which a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two or more opposing sides would cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender. Putin can not launch them by himself, he needs both Shoygu and Gerasimov to do so and they are not mad.
Unless Russia is defeated in Ukraine NOW, before Kyiv, Kharkov, Odessaand other cities are razed to the ground by thermobaric weapons, if the west will not confront Putler now, then soon enough will world watch how Putin invades Moldova, Georgia and finally, small Baltic states - the NATO members. And then NATO will again do nothing serious for the same fear of russian nuclear weapons. Risk WW3 for such a little state? Pff. Maybe it is only civil war, better not meddle in it. That day will be the end of NATO as failed phony alliance. To break NATO and west by lies is long term target of Kremlin.
If ordinary russian to this day DON'T even KNOW that there is war in Ukraine, then Putin will not stop. You think that after Putin prevails in Ukraine he will crawl back to his bankrupt Mordor and behave, suddenly being a good boy? Wake up everybody. Fuel, long range sams, ciws, iron dome, bring in anything, airdrop food and supplies. World is at war, stop Putin NOW, or else it will be only worse and more tragic. Russian federation MUST IMMEDIATELY feel the consequences of their barbaric war, that is the only way.
It is dire need of actual power projection in Ukraine. For God sake give them at least fuel, long range sams, ciws, iron dome, bring in anything, airdrop food and supplies. Make some air bridge like in cold war Berlin.
In these very moments there are children in Mariupol who dies from dehydration, there is NO water now, no supplies. Russians not let anyone in or out. All ways from the city are mined and shelled. Hospitals in numerous cities are now deliberately shelled and bombed. It is russian pattern. Encircle the city and shell it with Grad and Smerch rocket artilery, conventional artilery, airstrikes... salvo after salvo. You saw it in Grozny, you saw it in Syria, now you can see this in Mariupol and Khariv. Purpose is one and only - to inflict TERROR, to break morale, by ruthless killing of women and children alike. The most barbaric way to wage a war. It is genocide. Another of long line of war crimes made by Putin. Recent reckless attacks on nuclear energy power plants and blatant cynical violations of the Geneva Conventions show us clearly, that Putin's Russia is terrorist state, unpredictable, lying, deceptive and dangerous to humankind. It is war against western world.
How long will be just keep watching. Must Chornobyl, where russians now cut of power for cooling, again leak radiation. Must the biggest european nuclear power plant Zaporizhzhia became another Chornobyl dissaster? Must we see radioactive cloud overe Europe again, and only then we maybe seriously assist Ukraine or what? Do you know that russians there allowed only skeleton crew to hold them as hostages and that russians rigged this facality with explosives? This is nuclear terrorism. Pure and simple.
Putin is and always has been killer (rememeber Litvinenko, Politkovskaya, Nemcov and many others), and now we already know his recent stunt - he send "Wagner group" neo-nazi murderers and assassins to Kyiv to kill Zelenskyy, his cabinet members, and even their families. I reckon he is trully mentally ill.
After all "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" as Lord Acton said already in 19th century. Quite accurate description of tsar Putin the Bloody .
"Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject."
- John Stuart Mill, 1867
"Appeasement policy, the policy of appeasing Hitler and Mussolini, operating jointly at that time, during 1937 and 1938 by continuous concessions granted in the hope of reaching a point of saturation when the dictators would be willing to accede to international collaboration. ... It came to an end when Hitler seized Czechoslovakia on March 15, 1939, in defiance of his promises given at Munich, and Prime Minister Chamberlain, who had championed appeasement before,
decided on a policy of resistance to further German aggression."
- Walter Theimer (ed.), The Penguin Political Dictionary, 1939
Putin understands only power and determination. Everything else is sign of weakness for him. Do everything what is in your power to drive Putin's kleptocracy to the end. I wish there were influential politicians who could see things clearly. Those who would not be frightened, weak, shaky and corrupt through money from the oligarchs of East and West alike. Those who had the determination of real leaders capable of taking responsibility. Maybe they still exist somewhere and maybe their voice will get to the right ears before is too late, I still believe it, I have to. Talk to your representatives. God bless you.

@@louiss.7765 what? Either you failed to communicate your message or you don’t make any sense.
If Putin complexly attacked Ukraine would that be better?
What is a simple attack?
I’d say there’s a lot of complexity that the public knows nothing about when it comes any military action, especially one on the scale we see. Few things are as simple as the seem.
Furthermore, history goes back a long time and many important factors become lost to time.
Most importantly in this situation, everyone has an opinion, many people even have convictions that may or may not be based in truth or fact.
Most of us with opinions have no connection to any of this… most of us are thousands of miles away from this, most of us know nothing about what is really happening elsewhere.
I highly doubt the US public is very informed about current foreign affairs aside from the skewed view we get from the media.
It’s easy to claim that it’s simple, and see it as good guy vs bad guy, and it could in fact be that simple, but in reality nothing is that simple.
Good vs bad is an easy story to tell, it does make things much more simple than real life. A bad guy vs bad guy is much harder to tell, and much harder for others to follow along with, and it makes it very hard to know who to root for… there’s also a good chance that one bad guy defeats the other… then you’re left with a very complicated situation!
I’m not saying one side here is bad, but I am saying that both sides are human!
No human is pure and good, that’s a fantasy!
I doubt that any human is pure evil, but I can’t be sure…
No matter what, in this situation, there’s no winners, only losers!
Russia can’t win, even if they achieve 100% success the long term cost will be high!
Ukraine has already lost, even if they repel Russia and suffer no more loses, they’ve already paid a grave price but beyond the immediate, there’s not a way to remove the literal tons of weapons that have flooded into their county. Long after this situation has been resolved there will be copious amounts of undocumented weapons floating around the region, we have ample proof that will be a problem for many years of even decades.
But hey, if you think it’s as simple as Putin bad then I guess that makes it a lot easier to get through the day, then by all means live in your fantasy

Stop calling them "oligarchs." There is virtually no difference at all between these super wealthy Russians and your typical American billionaire who owns multiple businesses.
Russia is cool, so they need cooler words
Which would you be referred as an “Oligarch” or an “American billionaire”?
Russian Bot. They have far more influence over Russia than billionaires do over America (which is saying a TON bc billionaires do already have a lot of play over the US).
In post Soviet countries these people are oligarchs. In USA a businessman couldn't affect the presidential election or who is to become a senator, but in such countries as russia they can. Although this man wasn't an oligarch, I'm aware of his biography, he was just a Putin's enemy and spent ten years in prison because of this.
not true, the Oligarchy was given when the USSR was disbanded in the late 1900s. all businesses that were seized by the state were just handed to these businessmen for no reason other than being friends with the new parliament. once Putin rose to power he gave even more of the state controlled businesses over to his closest friends. there are several oligarchs with nicknames such as "Putins chef" and etc.
a lot of American billionaires started from the bottom. very few made it to the top without shady dealings as the climb to the top is easier when you use people's throats as a ladder.

Now they are being ostracised again - only this time there is a generation of Russians who know what they are losing.

How come this "Oligarch" word being used so much only for russian influential people and but not others? Feels like intentional stereotyping. Never heard of this word so much before the Ukraine issue.
Yup. Why not elites
Whilst I agree there are other rich people in power who the word could apply to, in the USA they are often companies/lobbies more than individuals. The fall of the Soviet Union created a situation where a lot of oligarchs (as in one businessperson, whose wealth grants them great influence - at least over the "common" people) were able to rise to power in a way that isn't so common in the rest of the world - a lot of wealth in Europe is generational, a lot of wealth in the Middle East is a mix of nobility/warlord/oil money and of all of those are territorial wealth... The oligarch is not a uniquely Russian phenomenon, but it is a specific kind of wealth and influence that there was more space for, in the collapse of the USSR. I'm unfamiliar with East Asian wealth patterns, so I can't speak to how those are addressed in the news, but I'm assuming you're referring mainly to the disparity between how Russia and the USA are addressed in media.
It's the only way or this could turn into decades long conflict with Ukrainian diaspora and they are a clever clever people 😉
Make it happen!
