    Fun fact: during the 2023 Czech presidential elections, one of the candidates said that he would never send soldiers to defend Poland.
    The next day, his opponent, a retired top NATO general, presented him with a framed Article 5 on live TV and proceeded to win the elections.

      Russia really is doing terrible against a smaller military force. The thousands of verified photographs from Ukraine of dead Russians littered across Ukrainian land and of destroyed Russian vehicles is evidence of just how terrible the Russian military is. How many times has Putin replaced his top General now? 2,3,4 times??

      Outdated and rather broken gear that isn't updated since 1980s. Low morale due to not having enough food. Terrain is muddy and swampy. Braindead logistics (they literally attempted to dig trenches in Red Forest, which is a part of Alienation Zone of Chernobyl NPP). Authority so deeply rotten and corrupt that they throw the poor and racial minorities first into the war, censoring and burning books and jailing people for criticizing Putler. The current absolute state of Russian army is that they are held by fear, toothpicks and duct tape.

    • @visiblechunk
      @visiblechunk Год назад +159

      You’re also throwing out the fact Russia hasn’t declared war so they are using minimal forces while going up against 30 nations and still gaining ground. What Russia is achieving, the US and NATO generals have wet dreams about every day. So far Russia is the only nation to win battles against a country that has modern forces, weapons, jets, navy, and intelligence with bunkers that costed billions. And still win. Was there set backs? Were there mistakes? Of course! And Russia learned the hard way that every mistake they make the US and NATO intervention will make Russia suffer for it.

My guess is to continue the military industrial complex grift using Russia as boogeyman. Russia wasnt communist, they’re Christian’s like us and Putin even wanted to help the US fight terrorism after 2001. Bush kept rejected Putin’s cooperation, while also invaded a bunch of countries, so putin started doing the same.

      We are also under threat, especially China and America because the nuclear submarines that will be made in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore agree on that but still Indonesia, which is always negotiating to make the two countries, does not agree and it can create a big fire in the ASEAN region. . Now the war with Russia, Ukraine, moreover, many ASEAN countries are neutral except for Singapore (a country that is always the source of problems that always follows the wishes of western countries).
      Southeast Asia, in fact, Asia, for centuries was at the crossroads of imperialism, domination of great powers, exploitation, destruction. We are the most affected by the great power competition, and because of that, we have arrived at our own way, the Asian way, to solve this challenge. Our shared experience of being dominated, enslaved, exploited forces us now to try to create a peaceful environment. In essence, friendship.
      We have differences, we have competing territorial claims. But our view is, we should strive for mutual understanding, for communication, and we are proud that we achieved nearly 50 years of peace, friendly cooperation and prosperity.
      So we are never afraid to fight against other western countries even though we are given sanctions, we are ready to face these sanctions or have to side with whoever we choose to be neutral because your enemy is not necessarily our enemy.

    NATO Article 5 is a clause in the 1949 treaty establishing the NATO alliance between the United States, Canada, and the majority of European countries. According to Article 5, an attack on one member of NATO should be interpreted as an attack on all members of NATO. This means that if one NATO country is attacked, even another NATO country is obligated to go to war.
    As tensions around the world heated up in 2022, especially after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine many feared that Article 5 might be invoked and lead to a world war. Memes such as the Poland Wojak Pushing Nato Article 5 Button meme responded to this anxiety with jokes and dark humour.

    Russia and it's allies love to complain about the expansion of NATO and yet never ask the question WHY a bunch of nations close to Russia are choosing to join a military alliance for mutual security of their own free will. The biggest cause of NATO expansion is Russia itself. If post cold war Russia became a liberal, democratic and responsible actor on the world stage, NATO would likely be pretty much redundant by now. As it is, Russia has chosen constant belligerence, blackmail and violence against it's neighbours, in essence not accepting the USSR is gone and it has no right to meddle in it's neighbours affairs.
    If Russia deems NATO a threat, it's only because Russia is a threat.

I understand that you only watch Ukrainian videos, where there are only solid victories. But no one will ever say how many losses she has.
      And as for Europe, let's think about it normally, Russia basically has no reason to do this. But if this had happened (without nuclear weapons), half of the countries would have laid down their weapons.

    I think there are many reasons preventing Russia to destroy Europe. The fact they can’t win against the poorest country on the continent gives a glimpse of how they would do against France, the UK or even Germany. They would get absolutely wrecked.

      What worries me is the fact that westerners actually believe in this garbage. Russia has been trying to establish friendly relationship with EU and USA, but only got ridiculed in return. Germany wanted to be friends with Russia, and every time it was punished for it by the satanists from the White House. US doesn't want EU and Russia being allies. They want a constant war everywhere except for their own continent. That's their idea of how to stay in power.

    • @RobiePAX
      @RobiePAX Год назад

      The most likely outcome is that both countries will be left to sort it out on their own as member countries agreed to defend each other against external threats, not fight amongst each other. The country who attacks may be kicked out of NATO over time for resorting to war against fellow NATO member.
      So if France attacks Germany. Most members most likely won't get involved. If while they fight Russia attacks Estonia then NATO members would probably all go to war against Russia. France and Germany would delcare war on Russia too, but won't get involved too much as they are busy with each other.

    Let's be honest here. NATO Art. 5 isn't 'keeping Russia from destroying Europe'.
    Russia, as it is right now, couldn't hope to defeat any medium to large European country without full mobilisation ... and even then ...
    And even if it tried to conquer, say, Poland in earnest, the EU couldn't afford to sit by. France and Germany wouldn't want any incursion in the EU's sphere of influence -- and neither would any other European (sans Serbia maybe?).
    And yes, nuclear weapons exist. But they do in Europe, too. Not in the ridiculous overabundance as in Russia, to be sure. But more than enough to retaliate and target any major western Russian city. Let's not forget that countries like Germany are only nuclear weapons-free on paper. Firstly, they have American weapons in their country. Secondly, they have the means to make them at relatively short notice should they need to. Or just start developing more with French in a low-key agreement like they initially planned to do (in the sixties, I think?).
    Anyway, NATO Art. 5 surely is important, no mistake.
    But let's not pretend that Europe is trembling at Russia's posturing.
