Ben, maybe do a story on how ALL the former Soviet states don’t like Russia, are all afraid of the bully, none recognizes Russia’s new territory in UKR. All are nervous about Russian Russky Mir. Like Kazakhstan.
Putin, take care of your own country, it has more than enough problems. We are not to blame for the shitty situation. Be strong, there is no point in crying every day
@@felipe-vibor And isnt ther 5 million russians with out power right now? This never happened before all money and ressources was allocated to atacking Ukranians. Spend the money on your own country and stop killing your young men by sending them to the front, my friend. ❤
If Ukrain is accepted into the EU ,Will it be accepted with the borders as they were before Putin’s war . Why don’t NATO allow Ukrain to join that would send a strong signal to Putin .
@@Bird_McBride The keyword here is 'former'. After the dissolution of the USSR, Ukraine (as well as many other countries) was internationally (including russia) recognised as a separate sovereign state. NATO is not an expansionist organisation, and no one is forced, or coerced, to join (e.g. Sweden and Finland). However many countries were particularly wary of russia, as russia has a tendency to invade their neighbours. So for protection many countries joined NATO. If Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania hadn't joined NATO they would probably already have been invaded by those who wish to reinstate the 'former' territories of the USSR. It's not meddling, it's just that people prefer to live in a western style democracy, rather than a mafia led dictatorship. Life is simply better in the west, that's why most russian oligarchs, and those in power, send their children to study there, and own villas and yachts there. The RF focuses all its wealth in moscow and st petersburg, rural russia is living in the stone age - no roads, jobs, shops, medical facilities, gas, electricity, or inside toilets. Piece of advice for you - sell all your rubles now, cos hyperinflation is coming (remember the 90's).
Does the Putin economic model have him at the top of the economic chain always getting his take? Would such an individual feel threatened by a system he can’t control? Have oligarchs in the Putin economic system met with tragic ends when not complying with Putin?
Putin inherited the potentially richest country in the world with huge natural resources. And an unlimited power to do whatever he wants. The result is so-so Eastern European living standards in the largest cities and third world living standards in the rest.
The tune of Poland has changed over the last year or two regarding EU. Some of us have not forgotten how Poland and Hungary were best of friends and twarthed the EU's attempt to stop the undermining of democarcy in their countries.
word on the street is its in the kgb training handbook ... all the agents walk with a famous gait apparrantly because with an arm dropped down on one side it enable them the draw their weapon quickly .. so thats why they walk funny .. see arent you glad you asked now? lol
Not sure but Russia could be taken as a free lunch after nato kills its fight. Thats right someone or many countries could try to sweep in for takeover of greater russia for its resources.
@11:50 your guest speaker is wrong about the U.S. & Germany blocking Ukraine's ascension into NATO. The fact is that the NATO Charter specifically states that no Nation can join it while actively engaged in a conflict. The same as Trump could not pull the U.S. out of starting on Day-1 of his Presidency as there first must be a declaration of intent made to do so and then there is a 1-year waiting period, that is also written into the NATO Charter.
There is nothing to prevent NATO from offering membership conditional upon the ending of hostilities, which would mean the membership would be activated as soon as peace was achieved, without any further vote. Most members are in favour of that, or a very similar offer, being made. The US and Germany are not. That prevents NATO from underwriting any peace with membership because membership would lag so far behind any peace deal. So as a simplified version, yes, the US and Germany are blocking it.
Many central and east Europeans have a history of a millenium in Europe and only 44 years as vassals of the muscovite empire, betrayed by the US and UK in Yalta, 1945.
So in the very long term, Russia could eventually join the EU too if Russia managed to become democratic.. This is something that a lot of Russians are dreaming off or envisioned Russia to be, but that´s something you have to fight for.
Ya we understand u think like that😂😂😂sure Russia slowly occupying Ukrainian territory but no he is threatened by EU who depends on USA for defence …and now as trump arrives u can’t even depend on him…but yaa sure Russia is threatened by EU😂😂
Did Russia not occupy over 20% of Ukrainian territory, so if they now say only have 17% they haven’t gained anything but lost territory. With regard to the EU they will become self reliant, for the simple reason that the US is unreliable. So basing Russias future on Trump would be unwise.because the gamble Russia took in western fatigue didn’t work out for Russia.
You didn’t even watch the video did you? It’s about the lifestyle the European Union can offer Ukraine which scares Putin. His own slaves might wake up and see how much better their neighbors live.
Its amazing how the world is being ruined by a small group of 70+ year old autocrats.
Senile dementia matters!
Good reporting. Thank you. Strong Ukraine. Strong NATO.
I also dont buy the corruption argument. I mean we let Hungary in.
(Sorry in advance to all non-korrupt hungarians fighting korruption. )

The EU and NATO are two different things with different requirements for membership.

@@miroslavdusin4325you need to check up on that again. Putin inherited a run down country from Yeltsin. He has made Russia great again

hi...russia does not have anything ukraine needs...

Poland is on the brink to become a very rich EU country and can make essential decision making for the EU..
@@Siranoxz that is not the point though. Three years ago, Poland was BFF with Hungary and had their own wannabe autocrat.

Stop turning between cameras after each chapter, please. It makes me seasick.
At least they lost the rather large, empty, clipboard.
It's not fear I think but total envy.

Its good ukraine in EU but not Nato.
Stop smoking weed.

That’s a joke isn’t it?😹

Is this the same EU that can't control Hungary, France, Greece, Italy, or any other of its members states apart from Belgium and Germany?
EU doesn't dictate to members unlike RF.

Having started off with 20% of land and now down to 17% that is a loss not a gain.
