2 HOURS? You really putin a lot of time on this.
I see what u did there and I approve
👍🏼
Agreed.
*🥁
😂
Simon really asked "is anyone gonna release a movie-length video essay about Vladimir Putin's life?" and didn't wait for an answer.
Thank you Simon for bringing us Vladimir Putin: The Movie
@@carlramirez6339😂😂 same thing can be found everywhere on youtube for MH17 has been turned to politics attack and Simon forgot to state that even Malaysian president did not believe the West biased investigation. That alone discredited Simon as a real reporter 😂😂. At least he got money from utube anyway congrats 😂😂😂
@@tamdang8346So....what do you think happened?
@@Genghis-Jon Well it is not hard to deduct especially russia has given the number registered of the rocket indicated that it belongs to ukraine military arsenal. 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
@@Genghis-Jon youtube deleted my comments perhaps it is the truth lel
YT marketing department : "Viewers have short attention spans, let's plaster all these shorts on their homepage".
Viewers:
Frfr, not everyone has a short attention span 🤣
youtube employees have super advanced metrics about watch time and viewer retention. if they thought it would be more profitable to push this content over shorts they would do that
@@mrmakuman24esp when it comes to site wide retention, which is ultimately the most important thing. they don’t need to market their long form content, everyone already knows it’s fucking there
@@33Avon88what? Short span of what?
@@ProjectionTrolll did you even read the main comment?
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.
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.
Fair enough; but why must we give all the credit to one side? Why must we always paint a picture where somebody comes in as a hero? From my pov, thats all nonsense, and to dismiss the dead Russians is incredibly disrespectful to the Russian people themselves. But hey, most people love to disrespect Russians so I'm sure people will agree with you@@lonefish8128
@@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.
“The British gave time, the Americans gave money, the Soviets gave blood”
I feel like there's a 20% chance that anytime you click on a youtube channel you've never heard of, you'll be greeted with this glorious beard and matching accent.
You underestimate the size of RUclips
@Leo-ok3uj you underestimate the amount of Simon's channels.
@@noahgray543
Is not bigger than the amount of Mr Beast copycats channels
That's because he's just a narrator who has a massive staff doing the majority of the work.
@user-wj1kg8qo3p well, yeah. I don't think anyone thought he did all this himself. There is a reason he says, "we here at warographics" or even credits specific writers and editors on other channels.
Speaking can be a job if you are good enough at it.
Wasn’t expecting Simon to tell an anecdote in which someone ‘absolutely bodied’ someone else today, but here we are
Same 😂
I absolutely busted out in laughter when he tried to describe a battle of wits between Joseph and Vlad 😂😂😂
I love it when Simon slips in some hip lingo ❤
The diction, the smooth delivery, the look. Simon exudes the aura of the history professor who you need to listen to because the test is tomorrow.
What the hell is your username lol
This was a deep one,2 hours without missing a beat. Regardless of which side I sit on,it’s good to hear from different perspectives,so I check out Simon’s content. Hope everyone is having a good week ,take care where ever you are on Mother Earth.
The quality of work you're putting out here on this channel (and the others) is genuinely top notch. Anyone involved in this ought to be proud of how high a standard you're setting with this.
13:35 the ai generated video says otherwhise :P Im just making a joke to, its just visual clutter he puts on the screen for the video, his real work is the amazing reasearch
I recognize that thumbnail. It's the Prime Thantos synthwave lol
@@typicallatenightgamer7122 I will condede some of the visuals are where these videos tend to falter, clips that don't really make sense in context etc. But the substance is the important part, and they definitely deliver there.
Simon is just a talking head.@@typicallatenightgamer7122
All he does is just repeat in NATO propaganda and liberal talking points
Putin is the kind of guy who reads all terms and conditions and clicks "I disagree"
ur just making him sound sensible
Go away spammer
Don't lump him in with me..
Putin is the kind of guy to read the terms and conditions and agree.
Then the people setting the terms and conditions mistake a window for an elevator and he has their replacement change the terms and conditions.
@@dzzope I see this as an absolute win
Because he's got the balls to do what you're all scared to 🙄
I watched this masterpiece multiple times.
Really high quality content from all involved.
Times are wild if you get the most accurate and nuanced documentaries from a bald guy on RUclips 😁 (love you Simon! 😘)
Very impressive work. The information was so abundant that I had to take several short breaks to absorb, so that I wouldn’t miss anything. Thanks
Dobby has actually aged pretty well
😂
That crippling Botox addiction is pulling a lot of weight
😂
Honestly, I think he had the front end redecorated.
@@nicklindberg90 Master has given dobby botox.
Dobby is freeee.
I can't believe his face looks exactly the same as it did when he was a child .
2 hours of Simon? This nap is going to be fantastic.
I swearrrr 😂
I'm about to take a nap now.
If I don't sleep to podcasts I sleep to one of Simon's many channels, something about British accents.😂
3hrs 20mins just dropped on casual criminalist lol
The truth
Literally what i thought when i saw the video pop up! Good nap everyone 😴😂
Outstanding Simon and Warograhics team. Thank you.
This was a VERY well-done video. Painstakingly researched and SAS/MI5 level analysis made this video difficult to pause for a trip to the loo. Well-done sir! Has Simon been officially knighted yet?
~ I see a 2:02:16 long video from Simon,
~ I interrupt what the hell I'm doing;
~ I get some tea;
~ I watch it.
Literally same here lol
2 hours? More like tea and a joint
You are going to need at least, 5 teas
No worries guy, I made LITERS of tea 😎
Sans polonium, I hope?
Don’t comment often, but a 2 hour Warographics? This is pure RUclips gold. Thanks Simon and Team!
Comment more for the algorithm
Putin's one liner to joe biden was the most gangster shit i have heard a world leader ever say
Excellent piece, well done 👍🏾
Putin : "This.....Simon Whistler. Is he a threat?"
FSB : "No, sir. Clone Comrade Daniella infiltrated Whistler team and began deep cover 12 months ago. Many obscure references to 'putting Danny back in cage' but so far, no cage."
Maybe Simon should avoid flying or drinking tea for a little while just in case...
At least there’s no windows to accidentally fall out of in the basement.
This guy went to college
We haven't used the term "comrade" in over 30 years here. Time to keep up with the times, lads, or you'll end up as inept as the last three PMs that you've had since 2022.
@@alexeishayya-shirokov3603wow its almost like its a joke. Not only are vatniks stupid, they also have no sense of humor
More than 2 hours of content?! Thanks! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for a comprehensive and detailed video Simon and team! Really good to get an in-depth analysis. If you've going to do such long videos, could you consider posting them as podcast? And/or maybe signpost parts? I listened to the lot but not in one sitting.
I like how fast you talk. It packs in way more info than the slow coaches.
If a fight is inevitable, you have to throw the first punch? It's 90 seconds to midnight.
So, you want to be the one to get punched first? 😂
I immediately thought of the nuclear strike implications of this as well.
Took me a minute and 30 seconds to get the comment. Yes, we are screwed. We are ruled by madmen.
That's what game theory says
the fact that we're still here means the fight is not inevitable yet, or western leaders are so paralyzed by bureaucracy and indecisiveness and Putin has years still to throw said first punch
Woooop, Warographic, content has been so good! Keep it coming Simon and team!!!!
Astonishing work! Thank you!
Outstanding work guys! Incredibly thorough and captivating.
Haven’t even watched the vid yet…. I’m a simple man; I see a 2 hour warographics documentary on Putin and I click like
Well, the warographic is masterfully done, no doubt, but imho it is really stupid to name Pitin a warlord. He doesn't fall under that defenition.
He is the head of horrifingly-hard-to-control federation with a reereally complex government system, put in his place thanks to a compromise between "Siloviks" and "Oligarchs", in the midst of eternal "War of Kremlins' Towers"
A warlord is a guy in charge of a micro pseudo-state with an ierarchy represented by one straight line.
Putin is an internal compromise representing power of conflicting groups
The amount of Simon and The Fat Electrition videos that I’ve shared to friends in the last few weeks is over 20. This will also be shared, you all do an amazing job. I love the research that goes into it and that you give us your sources. Most of my friends who I share these with attended the same critical thinking and critical researching classes as I did so we’ve been able to really sink our teeth into these topics and have readily available “verified” sources to utilize rather than having to pick through the trash of “information” online. Love you, thank you, and we all hope you and your families enjoy life!💚
Fat Electrician is slept on.
The Fat Electrician is awesome.
It is a really good video, but it really isn’t true that Ukraine had separatism before Russias involvement. If you want to see what Ukrainians think of separatism, please check the map of Ukraine voting for independence, even 53 percent of Crimea voted for independence in 1991.
Dude i hope the ppl you're sending this too will enjoy it or else getting these types of videos can be really exhausting
Good explanation and summary. I have watched this video in it’s entirety and in smaller portions several times.
The fact this was two hours of such detail and more focused on his character building was fantastically interesting. Thank you. Maybe one of these could be done for other global political leaders.
This is insane. Tysm for this!
That it's a British guy commenting that "the age of kings have come to an end" seems ironic.... yet oddly fitting at the same time. 😁😁
Do not translate... भवतः हृदयस्य धड़कनं कतिपयेषु घण्टेषु स्थगयिष्यति, अस्य शापस्य मुक्तिं प्राप्तुं एकमात्रं मार्गं मम चैनलस्य सदस्यतां कुर्वन्तु…...
King Charles has basically no real power. Putin is closer to shut. An actual king than Charles is.
Charles is the most toothless monarch ever, he doesn't even have the late Lizzie's personal popularity. He's basically an empty crown, so yes, it is at an end
Ever since about 1910 the British monarchs power has greatly fallen to the prime Minister. They can cast a tiebreaker vote and ve an ambassador bur that's about it. Queen Victoria and Albert were likely the last real ones.
@AeneasGemini His brother is a pedo and Charles somehow manages to be less popular than him.
I love these long videos. More please. Keep up the awesome work!!
Better than the interview xD thx you & your team for the work
the best news channel and now doing documentarys , thanks simon
*partisan
@@nonamehouse4442 the presenter name is partisan or the guy that worte the script or the editor , anyway good job every body
No, this guy is full of shit.
Just finished watching it. I knew most of the information, which is not meant to say that it isn't well written and informative, because it is. Well done, team!
You're spoiling us Simon, what an absolute treat this is!
I love this , Simon Whistler you and your team are doing an excellent Job
Here, I've finally finished watching this video. Incredible work, incredibly detailed, superb narration all over. You really went out of your way to put this out to the world.
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.
I was born in 52 just like Putin. I’m in good health but time is definitely limited. You don’t have to be ill to feel the pressure to achieve long term goals.
Perfect for my workout, thanks for the video guys
So what're you gonna do for the other 117 minutes...?
Well researched and astonishingly comprehensive for RUclips. Well done!
Its actually not very well reaserched as alot of what this clown says are lies.
Very well put together and presented clearly. Thank you.
What's your opinion on what Volodymyr Parasyuk said Feb 21st 2014?
As a Russian who doesn't support neither his actions nor his words nor his decisions, I thank you for covering this and telling the story of the despot. People ought to know what he's like and what he's putting his country through.
Reporting you to Putin depending on how good your workout playlist is
@@tmo_117it slays ngl
We don’t believe you. God bless Putin and real Russians 🇷🇺🇷🇺
😂😂 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.
Ti si traitor
Im really diggn' the longer episodes! Keep that shit up, Simon, you fuggn' legend
"if a fight is inevitable, you have to throw the first punch. "
Really interesting simon. Long form is your best work IMO
brutal. this is awesome. i see a lot a things much clearer now. this is quality content. hats off evan!
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
@@Matt-yg8ub-> takes whatever the kremlin says at face value, whatever invaded Georgians say as a lie. you kremlin apologists are the worst. this is your brain on soviet propaganda rot. sad.
This was excellent beard guy, great job👏
This is highly informative. Thank you
Loving this channel, only recently just found your videos mate. Thankyou
Welcome to the Whistlerverse. There are like 10 channels. The casual criminalist, astrographics, megaprojects, sideprojects, decoding the unknown, brain blaze, places, science unbound, today I found out, I’m pretty sure I’m missing one or two. Also he presented geographics, top tenz, and biographics 2022 and previous. There will be a few from 2023 but Simon stopped those due to disagreements and having 800 channels of his own ❤ oh into the shadows too lol
this is a work of art' you and your team but alot of work into this and it's one of your best . I applaud!!!😂
This is beyond incredible thank you so much 🙏
Wow, what a production. I very much look forward to watching this.
Yknow what. Even if you don’t like Putin expanding your knowledge is always beneficial. I am very thankful to have Simon and his staff providing so much good informational content. I aim to learn every day and they and many others on RUclips provide us with so much educational content we really should consider ourselves blessed to be living in an era where we can learn so much inside the palm of our hand whenever we’d like. Again, thanks for Simon & the crew for providing this great video and many other fantastic pieces of educational content. 🙏🏻
One of your best, Simon.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together and for making it digestible. Your laying out of the facts surrounding Putin are a necessity and I only hope this reaches the ears and minds of though who haven't already known.
Ohhhh shiiittt im so excited for this episode!!!
You are full of informations not often known to other podcasters. You are doing a great job!
I learned a lot. Thanks Simon.
This and the “guns” special are amazing. Perfectly in depth and fitting for those of us who want “complete” analysis. Appreciate the work you and your team put in Simon.
I know making this is time consuming, but I look forward to more!
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
@@TKUA11 yeah, no shit. (???)
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.
Absolutely fascinating and probably the best documentary on the life and movements of Vlad The Invader available on the Internet - massive thanks Warographics!
great work as usual simon
2hrs 😮
Simon & Crew's transition from variety show to hardcore investigative reporting is truly unbelievable.
i wish we had a leader like him tbh. He loves Russia and loves his people.
I love how sharp and pointed you got at 1:37:58. This is exactly the kind of analysis I come to this channel for, great stuff!
Amazing episode!!
Thanks for the great video, Simon. If you don’t mind, CH in the word dacha is pronounced the way you do in a word change 😊 Cheers!
So much information. This guy is genius. 2 hours longgg and god knows how much it took him to gather all information to simplify it for his audience. Great job!! 👏
Thank You Simon you did it again!👌🏻
nice extensive analysis, no shortcuts, thank you
Impressive work! 👍
This has to be one of, if not, the best report you have ever done.
Simon be always looking over his shoulder after this amazing take.. Hahah like he be sipping that tea and wondering if he's been poisoned
Thank you, I enjoyed every minute of this. I took my time and it was well worth it, as always.
I hate this history channel trend of presenting historical figures as Hollywood marvel villains.....it's the yellow of journalism
@@SacredOwl nobody cares about your childhood
I was going to sleep now I'm prepping
A coffee. Cheers si 😂
that is actually me right i was laying in bed.
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.
One of the better videos on this channel. Well done
2 hours of Simon, let's go!!!!
Young Vladimir looks like the kid from home alone
He's way cooler than you and your gay jokes. He won. You didn't

What a terrific presentation sir…well done
Simon, what a superb work you and your team are doing in RUclips with all your channels. Congrats!
At this point, I strongly suggest you to make your content available in spanish, so a huge more amount of people like me could keep up accurately with all the information you provide us and not get lost in translation. Greetings.
Damn, I deserve a worm for being this early.

Amazing, well done Simon!
Great documentary. I actually learned a lot that made me inquire further reading. This channel has turned into something great for modern geopolitics. I also think Simon got actual interest in this and not just a host.
“The Age of Kings has ended.” I don’t know man, AOE2 is still popular and getting updates all the time.
This!
2 hours? What a treat! Thanks Simon
Thank you for making the world a more informed place
Do you ever sleep? 😅
Fantastic quality as always!
You know Simon's content is quality when he cites sources for information as he says it. I can count on one hand how many other channels do the same thing.
Citing sources doesn't make someone moral you know. Intellectuals have come to see citing sources as like, morality. It isn't. It's an empty action even the most evil of people can do. It's a sign of doing bare minimum intellectual research requirements. Not saying anything bad about Simon. Just weirds me out that people who pride themselves as intellectuals have made a false god out of anyone who cites their sources.
Watch better channels maybe? Unless you're verifying the sources, you have no idea what kind of information you're consuming.
@@mariusvanc I watch more informative videos than I honestly need to
@godwarrior3403 was making Simon out to be a shining example. Just saying it's nice to have a channel to watch that makes it clear (even if it's the bare minimum thing) where they are getting their sorces from.
The 'Yes Man' phenomenon is the most interesting to me.
When someone in power stays there too long....
Well, they don't need reality, right?
Before this, I haven't thought much of this channel. My thoughts oscillated along the lines of entertainment rather than serious business. Though this, gives you credibility of a substantial and profound talker
This was really good speed notes of this dudes entire life. I guess it's hard to get deeper into someone's so secret life.
Perfectly timed, considering that he just threatened World War Three. It's essential to comprehend the man in order to comprehend the depravity of the war we've only just begun to fight. Well done!
Edit: mind dropping a link to the Putin biography/biographies you used? Thanks again!
Not a link, but search "How KGB took back Russia and then took the West" by Cathrine Belton, it's a good read.
@@shaiaheyes2c41 Thank you so much!
He never threatened WWIII, this information is absolutely wrong, it's brainwashing from MSM!!Study J.Mearsheimer, Col.DouglMcGregor or Scott Ritter, there are many others,too, then you will be informed better.
I am from Germany
He didn't threaten WW3
Simon still doesn’t know there’s 2 “in”s in Kaliningrad
I think he does and is trying to annoy us pedants
