Besides Ukraine has been building up military bases around that areas and fire rockets into donbass to terrorize population. The russian population at donbass has no rocket to launch back let alone shotting down a plane. And an investigation like that took maximum only 2 to 3 years to be completed, the fact that the West dragged it on for more than 8 years just to try to set up fake evidences, spread bad reputation for russia and concluded with a fake trial with paid judges and a bunch of self made evidence

    Regarding "de-nazifying": Russian education doesn't emphasize the anti-Semitism of the Nazis, so the word has a different cultural connotation. Russia suffered absolute horror at the hands of Germany (and themselves but no one's admitting that) Their Holocaust is focused on the loss of Russian lives, not atrocities committed against Jews; this means being a "Nazi" has become synonymous to being an enemy of Russia.

    • @JackPitmanNica

      Its tragic how often people discredit the Russian's sacrifices in WW2. I've heard many Americans claim that the USA saved the day in WW2, but I find this hard to believe given the Russians lost tens of millions of souls to the germans... if the Russians hadn't taken so much of Germany's attention, it is doubtful the allies would have progressed the way they did. If Americans have the right to call their enemies "terrorists" then the Russians certainly have the right to call their enemies "Nazis"

      @@JackPitmanNica you do realise that neither the USSR nor Russia have ever cared about how many of their citizens would die, so long as their strategic goals are accomplished. In the eyes of the west, the loss of tens of millions of people is tragic. To countries like Russia or China, it is a small and insignificant price to pay for victory.
      The truth is, without USA's industrial might, even USSR would have lost in WW2, they themselves admitted it. The allies were willing to win the war with their money and wealth. USSR was willing to win the war by using its citizens' lives as fodder.
      USSR was as responsible for their terrifying loss in human lives as the Nazi Germany was. It was not the reason why the war was won, human lives were worth less than a penny to them.

      ​@@JackPitmanNicaI think that's the cold war. From what I've learned in America... if it wasn't for the US, Europe probably would've fallen to the Nazis, and Russia probably would've reached a stalemate on their front. IOW, the Russians weren't going to liberate the rest of Europe, if the US had stayed neutral. And then, once Germany had developed nukes before Russia, which would've happened in that scenario, then Russia would've surrendered.
      However, even though Russia helped Germany attack Poland at first, their later opposition was necessary to split the German army between western and eastern fronts. If the Germans could've focused all of their efforts on western europe, then in that scenario, the US might've arrived too late (Germany would've been in a much better position, if they hadn't had to battle Russia). So, Russia was definitely an important ally for 3 years. It took everyone's participation to win - Germany had the premier military, and the latest technology, when the war began. Russia was in somewhat rough shape, but the had a scale that Germany couldn't fathom.

    Personally, I think that if he really has cancer, it has to be responsible of a lot of his actions for this war. Cancer has a way of making people realize that they're under a time limit to accomplish life goals or enjoy "bucket list" moments. His actions definitely strike me as those of someone whose time is running out.

      😂😂 there's over 100 million Russians most support Putin for a reason. Did you really want Russia to stay poor and weak like in early 2000? People couldn't afford a decent life. Nowadays you have cheap meds you fly Americans to space you are the first to create a hypersonic missile that doesn't need to go to space to build up speed you have one of the largest submarines. Let's not forget the most advanced nuclear reactor is built by the Russians. The government helps families build homes and encourages people to have large families. The second largest grain exporter in the world. This guy has brought the whole country up from its knees without Putin Russia would have ended up like Yugoslavia. So there are lots of reasonable points why people support him.

      Simon clarifies a lot of things, but…. clarifies them from a strictly hardline Western perspective that leaves absolutely no room whatsoever for the official Russian explanation of their actions. Simon speculates on the motivations for many things based on western opinions, rather than the clearly stated Russian explanation for why they did what they did. For example, he acts as if there were some secret battle with the west for supremacy over Georgia, on the contrary, Putin was very straightforward about exactly why he did what he did… Azerbaijan was attempting to export oil from the Caspian sea through Georgia, and that’s why Russia got involved, because the west was attempting to put an end run around their oil and gas industry

      It is, but please be critical of everything you watch on the internet: Ukraine had no separatism before Russia intervened and there is no evidence that majority of people in Crimea Donetsk and Luhansk wanted to leave Ukraine. There are still millions of Ukrainians in occupied and unoccupied territories that want Ukraine to get its 1991 borders back

      I fully believe in and support Ukraine’s campaign to reestablish its ‘91 borders… can you not recognize an ally or do you just presume to know what everyone is inherently thinking or subscribes to based off a general statement?
      lol in what world does my comment evoke such a response?
      You really think I sit here and listen to everything I see on internet and take it for fact? Don’t presume to know anything about me or my education.
      I’m a trained journalist who left the trade because I lost faith in the narrative publications push... from both sides. I support small market journalism and I believe Simon and his team are an unbiased treasure in an otherwise hostile and unbiased world.
      Whether you believe there was a separatist movement in the east of Ukraine or not, the fact of the matter is that they are under Russian control as we speak and the Russians will not give it back easily. Whether it was Putin’s “little green men” circa 2014 or the full scale invasion of 2022… history can’t be changed and it must be recorded. And-quite frankly- Ukraine’s east has been the ultimate form of Russian “Active measures”. It’s a confusing, complicated time in history… not everything is going to be black and white.
      With that said, and since I feel obliged to let you in on a little of where I stand:
      Do I believe those regions are Ukrainian?
      Yes.
      Do I believe the invasion of Ukraine was an attack on Europe, and by extension, an attack on the western world?
      Yes.
      Give em f-16’s & long range capabilities & free Ukraine now.

    I have to say, of all of the videos you have produced so far, this is (in my judgement) by far your best. Packed with very important information. While its impossible for anybody to be truly impartial you have made an effort and it shows. Good to see somebody in the west finally understood how important the Kosovo question is to Putin, and the people around him.
    Now there are ofc tons of questions that come up. One such is, can WW3 be averted? What is Chinas role in this.
