Ukraine interior minister is a Neo Nazis. One of the founders of the Azov Battalion. Do they have political power in Ukraine or not? You must be pro west. Why didn't you mentioned about the burning of Russian speakers in Odessa? The bombing in Donbas? Russia is winning and will forever occupy the liberated lands. So this video is bias

Oh, You forgot to mention that ukranian Nazis also burned 50 Rússian speaking ukranians Alive, and a dozen more atrocities during those years... This is in fact Western/US propaganda pretending to be unbiased.

The one thing I have to say is 69 is considered old when the life expectancy in the country is only 73. Western countries have a much longer life expectancy with the USA being north of 78. I would expect Russia to use less efficient industry with almost non-existent environmental regulations. Higher pollution equals ever present toxic compounds. I wouldn't rule out neurological problems at that age in that case.

I enjoyed the video. It makes sense based on the information I am fed through my screens. Dear George Orwell, those screens you said that were full of propaganda that we could not switch off. Well it's us that struggles to turn the screens off. Good news though because in a few small countries they genuinely have structures in place to help ensure democracy and that the government works for the people. Unfortunately this isn't spreading to the large countries very well. Do you have any advice?

Meh man i don't think that you know much about people who lives in post soviet states.Highly likely that if the war would last too long people would desire to end it.But that will not be a negotiations.Most likely people would demand a victory,so it means a mobilization of troops,not a 200 k troops but about a 5 million to overcome the Ukraine forces.Thats the true.And its the the worst outcome for Ukraine.Highly likely if this happens that Ukraine will lose independence.

An end to the war that resolves all open border disputes would allow Ukraine to join NATO

Can we include US State Department Efforts since 1950 to employ former Nazis Soldiers to perform espionage in Ukraine? Can the idea that Victoria Nuland used political influences to create a seperatist Nation that was another Colony of the US to threaten Russia? That seems to have some significant proof of the intention to find some return on investment in the Kyiv Government? The IMF handed over a $16 billion "Loan". that seemed to purchase allegiance..... The US and British Military trained some of Ukraines Troops.. The US claims they have delivered over $5 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine since 2014. We might begin to suspect that William Spaniel gas an agenda and his presentation is simply another one sided presentation of partial facts.....?

and if that is the case, then so be it. The Ukraine historically, has been used to INVADE Russia 5 times of note, and the Ukraine is the one with the distrust ? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.

This take on the conditions for peace assumes something known as REALISM, where every nation acts only in self benefit, but they will behave rationally, react to incentives, and are predictable. Trust is irrelevant in this form of analysis, neither side needs to "Trust" each other nor do they need to Trust each other at all, and peace is achieved when both sides believe neither can realistically accomplish their objectives, nor realistically be able to do so in the near future. This utilizes "Balance of power" theory, where a balance is created, where both sides have an opinion of where they see the line should be drawn. In the Information Convergence section, he mentions this. Those aren't arbitrarily drawn lines, but rather where both sides see the stalemate is and where further action by either side would no longer result in any gain for either side. Evaluating trust is just too difficult, since its already assumed that no nation states "trust" each other in the first place. For example, NATO isn't held together by trust, but it is by the collective incentive of protecting each other against a threat. Each nation will respond to NATO since not doing so will see them kicked out, and they would lose all incentives that NATO provides. I know its odd to have something that seems rather random to be approached empirically, but there's some very neat studies into this if you're interested. People have been compiling their thoughts on state-craft and peace for centuries

The whole point of this video is to illustrate why "substantive explanations" like territory are insufficient to explain wars even when it seems like obviously it's a win-win to always negotiate based on balance of power so neither side needs to suffer the costs of going to war. The part you are quoting is the video's example of an outcome that appears rational but due to "bargaining frictions" it's actually impossible to achieve a rational settlement. It's presented from the Ukrainian POV but the exact same logic holds from the Russian POV - if you use some economic function to convert Russian war costs to territory, then it is rational for Russia to compromise on some territory gains to save themselves the equivalent amount in war costs. The is known as the "bargaining model of war.". IR begins with the (obvious) truth that going to war is inefficient and irrational for both parties because they both incur costs and would have been better of negotiating a settlement that saves them those costs. Yet equally obviously, people obviously start and fight wars all the time, so we need to be able to explain why. This is known as the "inefficiency paradox of war." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bargaining_model_of_war

@@grymckr starting a war is inefficient/irrational, but going to war to preserve your sovereignty is often the only viable choice. If the choice is to negotiate away territory and/or sovereignty every time your neighbor attacks you eventually he's no longer your neighbor but your ruler.

It also falsely supposes that both parties are tied to a rules-based order. A negotiated settlement based on cost-benefit model doesn't work when one of the sides breaks international agreements at the drop of a fury ushanka hat.

I agree with James. You cannot annex territory by conquest, and you cannot allow dictators to annex territory by conquest; it's appeasement. Russia attacked a country, calling it a war between Ukraine and Russia is dishonest or just false. It's a invasion of conquest by Russia onto Ukraine. Russia needs to stop doing conquest and go back to Russia, Ukraine can only stop doing war when Russia Leaves.

I would go as far back as the 2004 orange revolution, where Ukrainian protesters blocked the pro russian presidential candidate from declaring victory in a fraudulent election. This demonstrated Ukraine's determination to be self-governing and free of russian influence. We could also look at the issues around the black sea fleet being based in Sevastopol (Crimea) and the lease agreement and payments for this base on Ukrainian soil. You are correct. Putin will keep on launching new invasions until he controls the government of Ukraine and most of its territory. Ukraine can not agree to peace without a NATO guarantee to interven if Putin attacks again. Putin will never accept such a term. So the war will continue. The sooner the west get serious about supporting Ukraine with the equipment it needs to defeat Putin the sooner this will be over.

True but one key thing to rebuttal your last paragraph. Russia absolutely has myriad resources and could easily outlast Ukraine in that aspect. However, does Russia have the economic resources to withstand widespread sanctions from the west? They’re turning themselves into the next North Korea; a pariah state. As I think we’re all aware, North Koreas economy is the equivalent of the steamy shit my dog took before bed tonight. Russia cannot stand an economic war of attrition, with sanctions of this magnitude. They don’t want attrition. They want exactly what you said in your first paragraph. They want UA to let go of the land. Russia has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Btw, nice analysis my guy. 💪

@@levicastle8731 some interesting points for sure. However, if the war ends Russia will clamor (and I suspect would succeed) in lowering and removing sanctions from the west as their "reward" for the "not as big of a dick as you could've been" award. So their economy would slowly start up again, and I think that they will start to pivot their military imports towards China who is more aligned with Russia and less likely to sanction it. This kind of change takes years, and cannot be done within this current conflict, it requires a period of licking their wounds after the war. They KNOW they can restart their war much later with these changes, and they would want to have the best starting platform in the third Ukraine conflict. Lastly, Don't forget that Russia is largely a resource economy, and the people in power get their financial power from that sector. A lot of the sanctions hurt regular Russians, who the government doesn't really care about, just enough to have them enlist and to have them be able to be conscripted.

You are correct that Russian's hatred for Ukrainians has had an effect on both sides. I keep wondering how a population could care so little about human lives, whether their own or others. Is it only due to the effects of propaganda, or is there something more?

America england NATO EU and zelinsky started this war . I find a lot of what you are stating is only what America and England want you to say if reading between the lines you have not stated the full truth that makes it something to be very wary of as half truths are not the truth.

like the west and ukraine did with minsk? its russia that should be skeptical about anything nato the usa, the eu says. it was all lies to buy time tp arm ukraine and move nato closer

@Jasper Percabeth What?

@Jasper Percabeth how?

@Jasper Percabeth You kept avoiding answer the question.

@Jasper Percabeth You would need to be part of the negotiation team to know the truth is as the interpretation of the terms were taken differently. Russia negotiated in bad faith as it claims it is not a party to the dispute and therefore not bound by it's terms. With that view M 1 & 2 were not so broken but evaporated. It repudiated the whole concept of a negotiated settlement. In any case you are avoiding the Budapest agreement which was broken by Russia in 2014 very blatantly. How many times have you bought Brooklyn Bridge?

Both Minsk 1 and 2 were broken by Ukraine. German chancellor even admitted that it was never the intention to stick to those agreements but use it to buy time to arm and train Ukraine for the upcoming war. When Ukraine and Russia had a peace agreement again in Budapest Borris Johnson flew over to tell Zelenskyy to not go forward with it. Zelenskyy was also threatened to be hung from a tree by the far right if he did. Soon after that Zelenskyy made it illegal to make a peace treaty with Russia while Putin is in office.

Good idea!! Better one is add the ones made by CIA. No, it's not necessary, it's enough ask it to Julian Assange. Oh, hurry up before the US kill him!

@@angelaantonova743 yeap, but I'm sure it would be around these lines btw some analysts saying Russia wouldn't invade Ukraine, were pointing out that Putin wouldn't do such risky thing I guess some people convinced Putin there was no risk

True, Putin apparently fired a bunch of Brass hats but remember the Russian Federation has not been at war like the US and NATO for three decades. They just didn't have the experience; plus, Russia doesn't tolerate failure like the West does. It fires dummies. Not like the United States who continues to promote, both in the civilian world as well as military, incompetence. Example: How many US officers and bureaucrats lost their job at the last fuckup Afghanistan? None.

The Afghanistan model since the year 1100AD. If you consider Ukraine and the use of scorched earth in the past it is not implausible.

@@killingtimeitself I think that would be a bit misleading term.

@@seneca983 definitely a silly term, fortunately for everyone im not a profressional in the field lol

Steven Pinker talks about this sort of thing in his book "The Better Angels of Our Nature". Spaniel is correct in his analysis of why the war should have been avoided, but I believe what you are talking about is vitally important in Ukraine's case. In "On The Origins of War" by Donald Kagan, he talks about how important it is to make sure that victory is unambiguous, so that the defeated aggressor nation doesn't feel like it's worth invading again in a few years (the most obvious case of failure in this regard being the Versailles Treaty after WW1). In fact, the re-occurrence of essentially the same war a few years later is basically what his book is about , and there are MANY cases of this throughout history. That said, if Russia is able to get out of this mess with more than they had when they entered it, I think the conclusion that Putin will reach is obvious to even the most naive child. Ukraine, in a very real sense, is not just fighting for its own survival, but for the future peace and freedom of the entire world.

@@sH-ed5yf No America didn't need to invade, they took control over Ukraine the usual way - Through coup de tat!

US and the west has been even worse at keeping to treaties -- you have to work hard to ignore the west's disregard of Minsk or the Baker agreements.

Bullshit, they knew if they only respected Minsk agreements there would be no war. Why did America invest 4 billion dollars into the coup in Ukraine in 2014?

Ukraine has to accept that Crimea and Donbas - two regions where russian speaking ukrainians are the majority - do not want to be part of the Ukraine anymore after their treatment by Kiev since 2014 - and nor will RUssia relinquish their control they fought to get over those 2 regions. Ukraine lost those 2 regions by its stupidity and brutality.

True, Russia is already seen as the international bad guy so you're right, they won't care about repercussions to their repitation. I guess all we can do is take a page from the american playbook and help the russians enact a regime change. Let's be honest, Putin is an old man... He's likely to keel over any day now.

Who cares how Putin feels at this point? There is no off ramp anymore for this brutal dictator.

I think that PUtin's costs of war/surrender and Russia's costs of war/surrender should not be conflated. So, embarrassment to Putin is not necessarily a cost of surrender for Russia.

This has to be looked at like a game of chess. If Ukraine gives up even 1 inch of territory taken since the resumption of Hostilities they lose. So how do we end the conflict without that happening? Russian agents are working the internet and UKposts all the time trying to convince people that Ukraine should be willing to give up territory for peace. Russia is looking a little like it did before the Russian revolution. They are having frequent anti war protests. If NATO holds strong in its support of Ukraine Russia at some point in time will take care of Putin in its own way.

Ah, so Russia is liberating any bits of Europe that takes its fancy and will tell us that if we do not let them do it they will blow us away or have I missed something? How inconvenient that Ukraine is putting up resistance. And when Russia has had a breather and rebuilt its army we can start all over again.

To make an accurate cost benefit analysis you have to know the price of the your resources you will lose! For the Russians it is calculable, for Ukraine what is the going rate for freedom? I can tell you whatever it is Ukrainians are willing to pay it! My wife is from Kyiv, Ukraine, she grew up under Soviet rule, the Ukrainian people will never accept that again they will fight with rocks if they have to! SLAVA UKRAINI!

​@Jasper Percabeth bruh straight answer

@Jasper Percabeth what a just say .it was a straight answer 🙂

Yeah well the Ukrainian troops were slaughtering the Russian minorities in Donbass at the time. So what was Putin supposed to do? Allow the Ukrainians to keep killing innocent civilians? Somehow ppl like you don't want to remember that fact

So by the same metric you agree NATO does the very same since the very beginning?

I just wanted to make same point as @ Noqtis. there was training camps of NATO on west of UA in 2014. And they intervene there even sooner.

It's a fascinating analysis, but leaves way too much of history out of it. In 1996 Ukraine turned over to Russia all of their nuclear weapons in an agreement that Russia would never invade Ukraine. Why doesn't Russia return those nuclear weapons now? It's easy to attack a country after you purposely made it weak before.

It like the guy who made this video thought " How can I best do my part for the western prooeganda establishment media"? And voila! This came out. He must want a job at the New York Slimes one day.

I think that this deal is a very probable outcome of the war. But unacceptable for Putin. Once he is gone (one way or an other), it is a completely different story.

sorry, giving up Donbass/etc is probably cannot be done now without changes in a russian constitution. There's technically a way (just as Russia resolving territorial disputes, for example giving Norway part of it's current oil&gas - so the oil reason in my view non-legit btw, it's incomparable for having import goods in the first place - otherwise it isn't much sense of trading) but I don't think there's a way to resolve the fact that they're kinda russian citizens now. I mean, maybe not impossible, but much harder than people with such kind of suggestions wants it to be - actually I don't even imagining them being in the Ukraine right now the same way I don't imagining Russia occupying Lviv - Ukraine should have thought about it more thoroughly when they bombed them for 9 years (and they don't have money to buy loyalty like Russia did with Chechnya) (also being in the EU never had any economic sense for eastern Ukraine economically but that's hard topic, all this story is overly politicized, I like how some talked about that Yanokovich was 'bribed' - with arguably better conditions for Ukraine?) My guess is a war will end either if Russian leadirship totally fucked up (which seemingly isn't happening), the nato really tried it to win (and for what it need to give way more stuff), if russians will (really) get tired (We already are, fuck off from us...but that then implies funny things such as returning of socialism, you wouldn't want to know real political views of average russian, particilarly their view of the west, the only plausible outcome...well I don't really have in mind a pro-western politican right now so nevermind); if Russia will continue to have artillery & restrained aviation advantages and western vehicles will simply end. Ukraine GDP PPP - 450 billions (now), Russian - ~5 trillion. Putin just thought Ukraine would reasonably calculate it's chances just as Georgia, it isn't, and many people died (all the best to them), end of story. There's also a problem with Ukraine isn't really able to rebuild it's territory for themselves, and I don't think anybody willing give them hundreds of billions dollars, not in military outdated stuff, but in checks (although all these talks need precondition of Ukraine needing rebuilding - I mean having any non-immigrated population by the end of all of this). 'there is an advantage to Russia to having Ukraine in NATO' I mean yes, that's the real reason why Ukraine probably not going be NATO, you don't sincerely believed there's no factor of the US trying to weaken Russia with exactly that in the first place? This one was particularly easy, though. I mean from my point of view Russia simply should been gifted any Ukraine male a free appartmen/room inside of Russia and this issue would have been resolve for the much cheaper price.

Right, invaded Ukraine again in 2022 Not to mention they were firing from time to time on Ukrainian positions even during cease fire Also Putin stated few times that Ukraine is artificial country and shouldn't exist Meaning their plan is to conquer all of Ukraine

If the war is negotiated to an end, the hatred will remain, people who have lost homes and family members to the attack will not soon forgive the Russians, particularly if they hold onto Ukrainian territory. Maybe they don't care much about the Russian speaking minorities, but when you lose a home or family members to the Russian invasion, that makes one less inclined to see the Russian point of view.

you forgot the complete failure of the Ukraine counter offensive

@@julianciahaconsulting8663 I didn't forget because it has not failed

Oh come on now be honest.

@@-Clarky Reality: Russia occupies 25% of Ukraine while Ukraine occupies zero% of Russia - I think that gives you a pretty good idea of who has won or winning the war.

​@@julianciahaconsulting8663 the counteroffensive is not over and so there's no way of knowing if it's gone well, not achieved anything or been a failure you can't reliably decide the result whilst it is still underway

no not really...Ignoring the neo-nazi problem in Ukraine isn't accurate

Ukraine built the North-Crimean canal and irrigated Crimea, flooding huge areas of agriculturally rich populated UKRAINIAN areas AFTER Crimea was transferred to Ukraine. At that point Crimea was in horrible state: without any irrigation, very little electricity, with basically no agriculture after deportation of Crimean Tatars and replacing them with Russians who could not adjust to the climate. Crimea was a burden for Ukraine, that had to bring Crimea to a descent state with Ukrainian republican budget and losing territories to russia "in exchange". ruSSian propaganda ravings about Crimea being Khrushchev's present to Ukraine are just propaganda lies as Khrushchev had no power in this decision: this was stalin's plan, fulfilled after his death by his "comrades", whole signatures (and not Khruschev's) are on both documents legalizing the transfer.

@@natastudyN All true but going forward there will only be (I am afraid) a small Ukranian reservation, land locked, with borders controlled by Russia, like Israel controls Ghaza imports. Please read about founding of OdeSSa, and other cities. You can also read fiction, which though tells much about the country, White Guard by Bulgakov

@@paruhblgen4222 hahaha you know NOTHING about my country. And also cited the Ukrainophobe Bulgakov as an example, what a shame. Do you know who else wrote about Kyiv at that time? Pidmohylnyi and Domontovych. Did you read them? One day people will be imprisoned for public Ukrainophobia, it will become as disgusting as anti-Semitism. And the Russians are lying about some lands there, let them give us the ethnic eastern Slobozhanshchyna and the Kuban region. The territory of Ukraine was supposed to be 700,000+ km, but the Bolsheviks reduced it. By the way, YOU please read about well known since 14 century city Cacybei, which was RENAMED as OdeSa. And no one will conquer Ukraine, unskill Russians can only zerg-rush style, which will end with and of human meat, and even with the occupation there will be a guerrilla war for decades, weak jackals have no chance, Ukrainians have always fought more skillfully and bravely, we simply did not have enough international support. Now it is, so you can urinate on Putin's portrait. ^_^

@@natastudyN Plain lie. USSR build North-Crimean canal, we have documents what confirm one simple thing: Ukraine Respublic leaders admit what they can't build such canal alone, so USSR create huge company and people all around country gather together to build canal from 1961 to 1971. While Ukrainian SSR struggle to build canal alone in 1957-1961 until they give up and ask for help. North-Crimean canal have NOTHING with Ukraine after 1991, it will joint-efforts project

It is not only "Political Prestige" or the absurd fact of "Imposing Wills" on Ukraine. NATO does not feel "Betrayed" by Ukraine, because Ukraine is NOT part of NATO yet. In fact, Ukraine does not have the support of NATO, beyond the sale of arms. Do you want to know why Russia has not been removed from the UN? Or WHY don't send fighter jets against Russia? Cuz If anything, IF the US really wanted to resolve the crisis in Ukraine, the US would break up with NATO forever. In 1991, when the USSR collapsed, the Russians dissolved the Warsaw Pact. However, NATO was not dissolved. It was the opposite. NATO grew in power, in territorial extension and in the number of allied countries. (And NOT precisely "Allied Countries", but rather "Countries Subordinate to the will of the US", which is the correct name). In this war Mr. Putin is DEFENDING his Homeland. Mr. Putin is fighting today against only ONE Country (Ukraine), cuz if he doesn't fight Ukraine today, then tomorrow he will have to fight against 30 countries that make up NATO. At the end of WWII, NATO had 8 allied countries. During the height of the Cold War, NATO already had 14 countries in total. Today, when the USSR and Communism no longer exists, there are 30. Just in case we all forgot. Mr. Zelensky was a television Comedian who won the Presidency of Ukraine thanks to Mr. Petro Poroshenko (this one of great academic and political merit), who was ridiculed for the Parodies that Mr. Zelensky made on TV. And why didn't Mr. Poroshenko stop these taunts and slanders against him? Answer: Cuz Mr. Poroshenko did not want to "Affect" the Freedom of Expression in Ukraine, and cuz Mr. Poroshenko never thought that a Comedian without experience and without political stature (without political or physical stature), could beat him in a vote. (The same case with Hillary/Trump. And for that same reason, Mr. Zelensky sent the two opposition leaders to jail and controlled Ukrainian TV militarily, with the support of the US). Well... Already as President, Mr. Zelensky dazzled him by the proposals of the International Monetary Fund (Headquarters in Washington, DC), in which he would be filled with money if he agreed to join NATO, it was easy for him to challenge the power of Russia. Today Mr. Zelensky is ALONE and friendless. Mr. Zelensky faces Mr. Putin in absolute solitude. What does Mr. Putin want? Answer: Russia cannot allow a NATO Military Base on its immediate border. What does the United States want? Answer: The US has almost 800 Military Bases spread all over the world, and they need another 800 more Bases, to subsume Russia. That is what the US wants: Subsume Russia. But... BUT, the US will not enter a war to defend Mr. Zelensky, cuz China would side with Russia. End of history and possibly end of the United States. Governing a country is serious business. A country cannot be Governed by a TV Comedian. Finally, for the US the issue of its National Security is something non-negotiable. (The Pentagon is PARANOID on this point). However, this same Right to Defend Itself, US is denied to Russia and it is also denied to all the countries of the world. No one in the world can pose a threat to the US, but in reality, the US is a real threat to everyone. Now, please read the words of Mr. Vladimir Putin: “Russia has always advocated for the creation of a system of equal and indivisible Security. A system that is vital for the entire world community. In December last year (in 2019), we proposed to conclude an agreement on Security Guarantees. Russia called on the West to an honest dialogue to search for reasonable compromise solutions. To take into account each other's interests (US-Europe/Russia). All in vain. The NATO/US countries did not want to hear us, which means that in fact they had completely different plans from the beginning… And we saw it”.

If you watched the video, you would know most of the incentives for war he listed weren't monetary. Not sure what you are aiming at.

Well said

I am agree 100%

economy was a factor in all of those though.

Putin does it on every victory day, the day is literally meant to commemorate these veterans and the many deaths along with them

There is no plan to reconstruction any old Russian borders and if there would be, he wouldn't start with fucking Ukraine. Dude, stop consuming so much war propaganda. It's not good for your logical thinking abilities.

There are other counties with 2 different populations, no hostility betwen them and most peoiple are bi-lingual and do their military service together.

Wow. You couldn't be more wrong. This conflict started when the US armed and funded the right sector in Ukraine who then went on to massacre people in maiden Square. They then burned specifically Russian speakers in the odessa trade union building.

@@TheRatlord74 Were the 1 million protesters in Kyiv alone all Right Sector members armed with the (checks notes) bats, signs, and the occasional air rifle, all funded by America? Is that the best America could provide? How was it a massacre? Pro Russian soldiers gunned down protesters with machine guns and sniper rifles. 9x more Maidan protesters died than anti Maidan counter protesters died. Why do you Putin simps grasp onto Ukrainians that speak Russian like a mother to their baby? It's a language. Speaking Russian doesn't instantly make you pro Russian, it goes no further than what people around you speak. The only reason Russian is spoken more in Eastern Ukraine is because of the genocide targeted at Ukrainians in the 30s, with Russians colonizing the Ukrainian lands. Also I love how you mention the Odessa fire when it occurred nearly a month after Russia invaded Eastern Ukraine to create the DPR, and about 2.5 months after Russia invaded Crimea.

@@ranjaschildt9966 If one of the population is Russian you must forget your mother tongue . Otherwise Siberia or dead by bullet or through starvation as it happened in Ukraine ,Crimea many times. The dead and exiled are substituted by loyal colonists.

@@carlustin4034for real russians are one of the only people who would force people in other countries to speak russian even though they are a minority

America doesn't have the influence to force Ukraine to fight against its will. Wars are fought over emotions as much, if not more, as they are about resources and geopolitics. If common sense policy were the way of the world, we wouldn't have any reason to fight. There is always a way out of war when you stop and think about it. It's just that now so many lives have been destroyed and ruined that there is a resolve to finish it. If Ukraine or Russia is unable to make significant progress by this time next year. Maybe they will be ready to start talking peace. These things take time to play out.

Like, a golden retriever.

Funny he forgot to mention the Leaked victoria nuland calls , funny that .

@@parabot2 or the $5 billions invested in russophobia...

Also, you should read the comments from Y Ukraine? Maybe he can take some of the puzzlement out of why the Ukrainians are willing to fight this war.

The real cause of this war is due to foolishness of a leader because of his personal ambition.

Eric, I think you are right. Russian historical/magical narrative seems to play a big part in this. Putin may or may not believe it but he appears to place a lot of value upon it for his vision of stepping into the shoes of Peter the Great: E.g. the "it falls to us..." speech.

Definitely worth mentioning

You are wrong Ukraine owes Russia everything they got so much free gas never paid back never paid back anything and it's questionable who's pipe that is to begin is

@@335isuprayou are wrong! Ukraine owes Russia nothing! Russia agreed with Ukraine and AMerica that America and Russia agreed to protect Ukraine if it got rid if it missiles. It did! The only country that isn’t living up to what agreed to! Which is nothing new! The economy is Russia is so bad that people can only get jobs in Russia’s military! Putin is an evil monster! He gets rid of his opponents by either murdering them or putting them in prison! There are NeoNazis in Russia!
