The recent escalation in hostilities in Ukraine has put at least 7.5 million children in grave danger of physical harm, severe emotional distress, and displacement. Save the Children have been in Ukraine since 2014, and are on the ground near the Ukrainian border providing people with life-saving assistance as they flee the conflict. Please donate, every little bit counts.
This is Putin’s war and to understand it you have to look at the story Putin tells himself and the Russian people that helped justify this invasion. In this video I explore Putin’s motive and make the case that Russia has already lost this war.

HAHAHAHAHAHA😂😂😂
Update needed😊
He’s too embarrassed to update this. Anyone who watched this and believed him was intentionally misled.
Many things he predicted were right btw@@martell203
Here's an update. 1. It is true that while Ukraine is not entirely run by neo-Nazis the Azoz Battalion, the Banderites, those guys have a 90% impact to the country. There is a video where they bragged that during the Maidan protest they only had 10% support, but they caused 90% of the mayhem. That is enough for the Russian who have never forgotten the evil Nazis. All the previous Presidents since 2014 have a weird relationship with the neo-Nazis. On one hand they are afraid of them fanatics, but on the other they need their powerful military. Any government that allow Nazis to be in their military should be condemned. 2. Zelensky is a Jewish so there are no-Nazis. It is like the argument that one cannot be racist if they have a black friend. During WW2, there were Jews who served in the Wehrmacht. 3. Putin does not have to conquer all the territories in Ukraine only to be faced with the nightmare of governing them. He only need to conquer those border Oblasts including Crimea that would be enough. The eastern and southern parts of Ukraine are mostly ethnic Russians and they prefer to unite with the Russian Federation. 4. As for the rest of Ukraine, they will still be in a permanent state of war forever - perhaps some missile exchanges and some skirmishes here and there instead of a full scale conflict using ground forces and tanks. It will be not unlike the Israel / Gaza situation. As long as this keeps Ukraine from NATO membership, Putin's objective of defending Russia from NATO encroachment had been reached. 5. Eventually everyone wants to get back to normal life. They can choose to remain with Ukraine which is now a broken dysfunctional country with broken economy, or apply to become Russia citizens. 6. Russia's economy is the size of Texas. Big deal, how many countries economies are larger than Texas ? 7 Ukraine is a vital security red-line to Russia. It is a flat open country terrain that would be easy to sweep through should NATO decide to invade and break up Russia into several smaller countries. This is not the 80s Afghan war or the Vietnam war thousands of miles away. These are lands where actual Russians live in. They will defend and give it everything they've got. 8. It is true that Russia and later Ukraine started from Kievan-Rus, Ukraine and Russia weren't a country until after the Mongols were kicked out. Russia established as a country first, then Soviet Union and Ukraine. 9. Anything else this guy said about Putin as a person is all Western bias. There are many people in Africa, Asia who disagrees with the Western view (which they called the "World View") of Putin. 10. One can armed all Ukrainians with small arms fire but these are useless against artillery barrage, missiles and bombs those things can kill from miles away.
@@alexman8800 Thank you for the update, you've more or less nailed every important update. On the Russian economy and Texas part, it is also worth mentioning that in 2023 Russia's economy not only grew but actually outperformed the entire G7 in terms of growth. Sanctions were predicted to make the Russian economy shrink by 8% in 2022 but instead is only shrank by 0.8% in 2022, not a great performance (it still shrank) but pretty good when you consider it became the most sanctioned economy on the planet say for North Korea, in 2023 it grew by 2.3% outperforming every G7 nation that year.
Seeing the unity of the Ukrainian people gives me goosebumps.
Passengers of a falling plane who remain calm produce goosebumps.
its not the good times, but the bad that tempers the soul.
Putin will never lose any long as he has 6,000 nuclea weapons. Liberal world order will collapse if he decides to use it on NATO 😂😂
Similar to Israel Invading Palestine and moving there own people into it. While been funded by america to help them invade
@@Saiputera Those nuclear bombs are useless. It's basically a suicide Weird thing to laugh about.
As a Russian I feel terrible about what has already happened to Ukraine as well as about the upcoming economical catastrophe we're flying towards because of this war nobody asked for. I'll probably get mobilized if the war won't end soon, until then I'm going to protest for as long as I can.
I admire your bravery! I am not sure if I would dare to do the same in your situation. I wish you and the other protestors all the best!

A WAR OF " NOT 1 INCH TO THE EAST ", BUT YOU DID NOT MENTION IT. THANKS ANYWAY.
Yuval Noah Harari (the historian who wrote Sapiens) wrote an article making a similar point, Putin has already lost this war. He argues this conflict will *define* Ukrainian nationalism in contrast to Russia from now on.
Then putin will just kick all the ukranian out of the country and fill it with russian people.
I saw an interview with an ethnic Russian teacher looking at the ruin of her classroom, in a school shelled by the Russians. She said she was apolitical before, but now, she was a Ukrainian, and a nationalist Ukrainian, at that. This conflict has created a monster Putin is unprepared for.

I like this one.
Ukraine got all the help from West yet when the Palestinians asked no one stepped up, no help nada. They are suffering as long as I can remember. Everyone is condemning Putin's motive and deed yet no one is condemning the war crimes of Israel.
Ukraine didn't get nearly enough help from West that's why Ukraine is losing. So even in this situation West didn't care enough, even so they cared much more.
Palestinians have gotten loads of help from Western and Arab nations for decades. But they squandered the money on weapons and used donated concrete to build tunnels under Israel. Now everything is being wrecked and their people are dying. All of the millions of $ went to waste.
Palestine doesn't rank high on the West's priority. Russia is an enemy the west wants to fall. All that oil. All those nuclear weapons. All that land. All under democracy and capitalism? The West will do all to see Russia fall, before it even notices that Isreal is committing genocide. You shouldn't be surprised that nothing is happening now. Palestine has been under aparthied for so long, and if nothing happened since, my dear don't expect anything to happen now. The world is not a just place. Politicians and capitalists are snakes and will only use the money they worship to further their course of making more money. Again, the West has nothing to gain from helping Palestine. The West doesn't even care about Ukraine; they are just a means to an end: Russia. Sorry, but it's true. I wish you well!
In all fairness ( and given the investigative resources now at his disposable in the form of his excellent team) Johnny needs to make a further video on this subject in which the following facts/events are covered: - The declaration at the end of the 2008 NATO conference in Bucharest that Georgia and Ukraine were to targeted for NATO membership - The fact that the 2008 declaration would have been an INVITATION rather than a watered down declaration but for the efforts of Merkel and Sarkozy and why the idea so appalled. - The role of Victoria Nuland and Ambassador Pyatt in orchestrating the 2014 coup as documented in that phonecall and subsequently confirmed by their liasion on the ground Andrii Telizhenko who then served in the coup government - The Minsk accords negotiated between Ukraine and Russia by Merkel and new French president Francois Hollande in 2015 and why - mysteriously - they were never implemented - The December 2021 draft treaty based on the same previously agreed Minsk accords which Vladimir Putin offered to Joe Biden to avoid the need for invasion to address Russia's security concerns and Biden rejected while maintaining a media blackout of the event - On the matter of the legitimacy of security concerns for a nation, America's Monroe Doctrine which deems any military activity in the western hemisphere by a nation not located there an act of war against America and accordingly the reason why Kennedy would not have had to get congressional approval for invading Cuba in the Cuban Missile Crisis, or, indeed going the full monty and launching nuclear missiles at the Soviet Union itself - in relation to security concerns, what relevance if any the agreement made by Gorbachev and the Bush Sr administration in 1990 that Russia would allow German re-unification provided America undertook to not expand NATO "one inch East" - The fact that just a couple of weeks after this video was made - and over 500,000 Ukrainian lives ago - Erdogan of Turkey successfully brokered a ceasefire treaty between Ukraine and Russia - again in principle the same as those Minsk accords - which both sides were happy with but Joe Biden sent Boris Johnson to Kiev to persuade Zelensky not to sign - For completeness, it would also be helpful for Johnny to square the public statements of senior members of the US establishment such as Mitch McConnell about " fighting to the last Ukrainian" and the conflict being about "bleeding Russia" - which manifestly puts it in the neo-conservative Liberal Hegemony Project, best delineated by John J Mearsheimer - with the "unprovoked aggression by Putin" position he leans into in this video.
Wel explained ...
I sit in switzerland, considered one if the safest places on earth. but there is something in the air ever since this war started, that makes many of us worry, many of us alert. we are a generation that was gifted with peace and democracy, built on the blood of our grandparents. we have to face the fact that it is not to be taken for granted. seeing ukraine suffer is a vision of what could happen to many more countries. thank you for giving us a perspective of hope. i hope europe/ukraine stays brave and doesn't back down. it is not a matter of ukraine alone, it is a matter of all of us, of our home and our prosperity. ukraine is fighting for the kind of democratic freedom we are born into. They give me hope that people can still unite, and withstand terror.
I like that… “we are a generation of peace and democracy built off the blood of our grandparents and on”
"There is something in the air ever since..." i've felt it too, this will go bad soon

A friend of mine was trapped in Kyiv and slept in air-raid shelters and after days, with a lot of luck, made it to Hungary and back to Germany. We were worried sick and what she told us was just disturbing. My mother has friends who are Polish by birth and their relatives still live in the villages on the Ukrainian border and there is also pure fear. Polish TV shows the full extent and misery of the poor refugees - in Germany you see much less of it at least on TV, my mother visited her friends, and they translated the TV program into German and all the people in the living room were crying. Half of us were also once part of the Warsaw Pact (GDR), we are also terribly worried. We are collecting clothes and food, many are signing up on lists and offering housing for refugees, some of my friends are travelling to the border region to help despite the horrendous gas prices (equivalent to $8.40 per gallon currently, diesel even more!). We need to meet this insane clown in Russia with full force. And always keep in mind: This is Putin's war, not the war of all Russians! Here, Russian migrants (of which there are many in Germany) are already being hostile and threatened in the worst way. That makes me sad. Free Ukraine!
yes, some russians some out of germany but also other parts of europe with an adress in russia got notified that they are welcome to return to russia to fight... thats hiarious
I hope all well and this ends soon, it's so sad that it's the good people that pay for politicians greed

@@libertas-goddessofliberty5664 Um, in case you didn't notice, many of the people who were shown here WITHIN UKRAINE ready to fight for their towns and homes when the invaders arrive were women....? It sounds like their military may be only accepting male volunteers, leaving women to organise the evacuation of their vulnerable older & younger population (others may be able to confirm if that's correct?) but that cannot be seen as some strike against the courage of the women there.
@@libertas-goddessofliberty5664 I'm a girl, I'm in Ukraine, as well as as most of my female friends. Hope that "makes you feel better." Most women who leave have small children
That picture of the elderly Russian lady protesting is heart wrenching.....and then u see the law enforcement take her away ☹️
Her name is Yelena Osipova, she’s one of the last survivors of the siege of Leningrad
I read she is actually one of the last alive survivors of the siege of Leningrad that has been sieged for more than a year by the Nazis during WW2. This makes her protest even more meaningful.
God bless her and protect her from Evil.
But it will never be shown on Russian TV.
It's heartbreaking.
Johnny, before you start talking about the topic, learn the topic!!
This did not age well.
People of Ukraine are still not going to welcome Russia or pro Russian government. Even less. And Nato has only expanded since 2022. Russia just strategically lost Baltic Sea
This is why I always say “It’s important to distinguish a people from its government.” Not all Russians are bad but because of the war now they all will suffer from a decision out of their hands
Russian people made their bed and now putin sleeps in it so that's what you get for looking away Or supporting war and dictators

Putins video at 5:20 was true. The US was meddling in Ukraine. I like your videos but I think you’re wrong on Russia
I hope one day humanity will reach to a point where the government actually serves the people, one can only hope
When I think about it, IF Putin actually use the military budget to build infrastructure, create jobs, invest in technological development, all of which for the prosperity of the Russians, IF he did all that, I'm sure many Ukrainians would have favored closer ties to Russia. It's like getting to someone's heart by kindness vs force. Unfortunately, he chose the latter.

So i think i understand Johnny Harris, he has a boss and is instructed to speak truth on some topics to gain trust and following and then when it comes to his real job he then smears and discredits whatever is on the agenda of his handlers. This is why his channel is not restricted in growth. Anyone else spitting truth gets restricted and shadow banned or just banned. But this channel has full reign. I think we have a wolf in sheeps clothing here. I don't think this is independent journalism, I think its mainstream in independent packaging, Johnny has the same signature of like vice journalists, i think we have an extension on the mainstream in disguise here who is handled trained and guided and smoothly training peoples brains to believe falsehoods. I could be wrong, or Johnny could be lost in topics and actually believes what he is saying here. It's just you are being far to 1 sided when there is a lot of legitimate concerns from Russia too. It's known that the west has Hijacked Ukraine and it's the capital of the deep state etc etc. This journalism is so heavily biased it is not journalism, that's why I think you are handled and instructed to report propaganda.

As a person from Russia, that (starting from yesterday) can even go to jail for publicly calling this war a war and not a "special operation" I just wanna say - sorry for all that bullshit, we didn't get to choose out president, none of us (real people, not politians and warmongering fascists in government) want any of this and we definitely don't think ukrainians suddenly became our enemy. I mean, half of russian population must have relatives from Ukraine. I can just hope people responsible will get what they deserve.
And yet most russians dont condemn it. Tells you a lot.
That's not enough. You need to kick him out.
It's sick i am sorry for your country and people who have to go along with this sick way of thinking god bless Ukraine and the good Russian people.
@@informant09 Tells you a lot about why Russia had to invade now before it is too late and Ukraine is a NATO and EU member. Western leaders and Western people such as yourself are not supportive of Russia and its people whether Russia invaded Ukraine or not, NATO is an anti-Russia alliance who wants to one day wipe Russia and its people off the map, the expansion of NATO is detrimental to Russian security and the invasion of Ukraine is just the start of what Putin must do to ensure the continued future and freedom of his people and state.
no need to apologize. the USA has done their fair share of bullshit throughout history. although i believe Putin needs to be stopped immediately before WW3 is triggered.
I am russian and just like any sane person I protest against this war, risking imprisonment, as the law is getting tighter when it comes to anti-war acts. However I'd like to point out one thing- it is sort of inaccurate to compare Kiev and Moscow in terms of age. At that time there was Kievan Rus, which is the first Russian state. That division between Russian people and Ukrainians simply didn't exist yet. That's the reason why many believe Russians and Ukrainians are the same people, because originally we kinda were. Only later in history the focus of power moved to the east, hence Moscow and other cities came to be. But a Russian proverb still says "Kiev is the mother of all russian cities". Imagine Washington DC was a part of Canada today, for instance, that would give you the feeling. However starting a war over this historical nuance is pure madness. I hope this comment could give you an insight on why some people believe Ukraine should be with Russia and unfortunately some of these people choose the wrong means to achieve that vision. This war is a terrible thing and it cannot be justified.

I live in Russia, born under Putin. If you knew how many times I have heard that Putin is about to lose, you would cry. One talks and the other acts. That's why Russia has never had a decent opposition to the current government. It's like a pubescent teenager, not yet mature. Regarding the video, dreamer gave his opinion, a year later it becomes even more amusing. Maybe Putin seems so brilliant against the backdrop of the degradation of Western elites, or maybe I don't know much myself, but Putin is a very serious opponent, and videos like this over time only reinforce the belief that he is right. Again, time will tell)
I don't understand why the need of West vs Russia anymore. The Cold War ended a long time ago, we should be working together rather than against.
@@corypalmieri7508 that's right. Especially when there is the problem of terrorism and other global problems. But this is the desire of ordinary people, and "states" do not think so.

@@kinglu4343 Simple. Putin just don't want more NATO countries around Russia. He sees it as a national security risk. Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Turkey, Romania are current NATO members around Russia.
I just question two things in this video: One - the idea that Putin cares about what Russians and Ukrainians think. Public opinion in Russia and in dictatorships simply doesn't have the same power that it has in the West. It will have some effect on the way he conducts things but in the end, he will continue with his ideas and his vision for Russia and Ukraine against everything and everyone, his own people included. Two - The oligarchs that the West is sanctioning are not the ones that support Putin. The oligarchs in the West are in love with the West and with Western values - it made them rich, famous and it was validating them as serious businessmen until now. Putin is a hardcore Soviet Union type of guy. He despises most oligarchs as most of them made their fortune taking advantage of the fall of the Soviet Union. Their spheres of power and influence are different from the west. Just because you have money doesn't mean you can influence politics like in the west. That's a western capitalist mentality. Putin is not surrounded by people who have yachts in Saint-Tropez. He is surrounded by old-school Soviet Union guys like himself, ex-KGB and ex-USSR military.
You deserve more likes. Your assessment of Russian government is way more accurate than John Harris westernized view of Putin as a simple dictator being backed by oligarchs.
Don't know anything about that, most of the oligarchs are people Putin put in power, mostly ex KGB or USSR military as you said, are people that Putin made. The ones that put Putin in power are long dead due to natural causes or suspicious means. Thats why the sanctions on them doesn't hold the same power, because they owe everything to Putin.
Putin will care what the Ukrainian people think because it makes it easier to occupy and hold if the people accept it. Ukrainian resistance, which will not disappear and will definitely not waver asking as Zelensky holds, will be incredibly costly to Russia in both economic terms and social terms
True - Putin has a nice little boat and house /s
So why is he so close to Abramovich, multi billionaire? I must have overlooked his military experience... Who built his palace? Who paid for his yacht? Putin is surrounded by rich guys because it's a symbiotic relationship where they all fleece the Russian people together.
would love to see an unbiased and full representation of all facts that lead up to and current events. lots of previous information from history not talked about which are very very important details. Great vid!
This aged well.
What you say is not poetic or cliche. As a Vietnamese, I teared up watching this video because of how brave and united Ukrainians are. They remind me of Vietnam during wartimes. In the past, we won over French and US colonialism, which had massively more weapons, ammunition, and far more developed military technology. We won with bravery, patriotism, and great leaders. It is historically proven that when a nation unites, nothing can beat them. Sending my love and hugs to the people of Ukraine
Not to mention kicking China's ass too.
You history is wrong. USA never colonized Vietnam only the French . French people tax you pay . You never pay USA tax in Vietnam
@@khueyang352 Eh... it's fairly right. We were supporting the post-colonialist regime set up by the French.
@@khueyang352 CIA killed the South Viêt Nam président Ngo Dinh Diem. I was born in Saigon so I still support US against Communist block ( including North Vietnam) , but the facts are « têtu » hard to erase. However today the land is reunified and both South and North live together peacefully. I hope the same for Ukrainian people.
North Viêt Nam was backed up by both USSR and China to defeat US.
This reminded me of the Vietnam War, although a shameful history that the US and majority of textbooks in the west try to avoid and sugar-coat, but this history already showed us that when defending your homeland, the number of missiles and machine guns are most definitely not the only factor that determines the outcome. My heart goes out to the Ukrainians, as well as the brain-washed Russian soldiers, everyone is a son or daughter, may there be peace to come.
North Vietnam attacked first tho
They could've won if they burn the trees
Actually the US doesn't sugar coat vietnam...I'm a Gen Xer and grew up knowing the grim reality and black mark we got from that war. I mean,lot of us have relatives that fought that war...and also loved ones who didn't come back from there. There is no hiding or sugar coating that reality
@@DJ_BROBOT apparently we didn’t learn much since we later went and did Iraq.
It’s also amazing you mention Vietnam in this but leave out the context that the US/France propped up guerrilla groups as a proxy force to fight the USSR backed government.

I lived in Ukraine until 2016. My parents left Ukraine just a month ago. So I’ve seen thing first hand It’s a tragedy that this war started and it could be prevented. But anyone who has researched the roots of this tragedy (and not from media of one of the sides) knows deep inside that the conflict has two aggressors. So this video doesn’t reveal the true nature of conflict and merely repeats what’s on the surface

I am Ukrainian and a citizen of Kiev who woke up form missiles on Feb 24 Watching this videos is some kind of a relief that gets me out of the current context in real life and makes me look at the situation as at some historical event, like when you are watching some documentary. It's sort of adding some mental distance between everyday shit (bombing alerts, danger, anxiety, chaos) and brings some order to head with some helicopter view. Because when you are in a front line you don't have time or right mood to analyze key data and build good picture of the situation, you just being bombarded by trillion fragments of information about stuff that is happening around (with a lot of desinformation) Thanks for spreading this excellent overivew with the world and this "mental distance" for actual participants P.S. shitty stuff that many people don't know Mastercard, Visa, Google, OVH and other companies block my accounts because they consider the whole Donetsk region (Donetsk state) as DPR (DNR). When in reality 2/3 of that region is under control of Ukraine. Google already applied to me sanctions as if I were a citizen of the Russian Federation or DPR. My registration address is in my hometown that is 30km away from the border with DPR but companies don't pay attention to where the border actually is. So some people end up suffering not only from the actual invasion but from mistakenly applied sanctions too :/

I'm Polish and just recently saw in person what was happening on the border with Ukraine. Saw the thousands of innocent people whose livelihood was ruined by Putin's global ambitions, the mothers carrying their children as their husbands waved them goodbye to defend their country. I saw the injured, the sick and the old forced to run away from the barbarism Putin unleashed upon them. My heart goes out to Ukraine, to all the brave people who stood defiant against the invader, to all those who lost their loved ones and to those who lost their former lives as their homes burned, their workplace was bombed and their health was irreversibly damaged. I wish I could do more than just donate the money I can spare and the cans of food I don't need. No matter how much I give I feel like a useless piece of shit for not doing more... Maybe when I get my licence I'll be able to do more- move more food to the border and take people on the way back home. The only silver lining I see in this situation is that for the first time in many years I see my fellow countrymen united above all the internal politics and disputes. For the first time in my 21 years of living I see first hand Polish people working together in spite of all the differences both real and purposefully created, doing what needs to be done and helping our brothers from Ukraine in their time of need. I hope you're right and that this disgusting war will end soon, so that no more people will die senseless deaths in a war that benefits a handful of oligarchs in their ivory towers built on exploiting the people of their own country. I hope it all ends soon and that I'll be able to see all the beautiful historical places Kiev has in abundance. I hope that Ukraine will soon join the EU and receive as much money as EU can pull together so the material damage can be fixed within a couple years. I hope all the best for Ukraine and its people.

Promises repeatedly broken. I also wonder about the gigantic military industry. Weapons accumulations by pentagon have to be somehow used to make room for new ones to be made and sold to them. So despite my hatred of Putin I wonder if Washington decision makers were not involved. The Russians had made it clear that NATO along their borders would be the last straw.

We have unique history before Mongols came, unique history of land divided between empires, struggles for freedom. And here we are yet again...
As a Palestinian, looking at the videos of Ukrainian neighborhoods and towns being leveled reminded me of my family's house in the West Bank (which I've only seen in photo albums): it was demolished by the invaders (settlers) when they came, and coincidentally, it's mostly Russian Israelis who have taken over that town (known as Ariel) today. My parents moved to Jordan and then the Emirates, so I've never lived under any occupation myself, but I can still empathize with all other people suffering under brutal occupations. We stand with Ukraine 💛💙💛💙💛💙 The resistance will never fail.
Hard to compare Palestine and Israel to Ukraine and Russia. Palestine & Arab nations got what was coming for them from a war that they initially aggravated. Ukraine on the other hand didn't aggravate war with Russia but rather considered joining NATO & EU which possessive and insecure Russia was terrified of. It's not the same.

Russian culture is absolutely awesome...No doubt what the Russian people have gone through has produced some of the best literature, art, intellect, music, food and spirit we will ever see....all who are in the know, know this war isnt an indictment on Russian culture as a whole...I feel grateful to have grown up near Sheepshead bay/Brighton Beach and have been exposed to some of your wonderful culture in the Russian neighborhoods that exist there! as Irina Allegrova once said, drug druga nam boyat'sya nechego
be proud of who you are! that is the one thing nobody can ever take from us is who we are and where we come from so be proud! I as an american first generation my family was born outside of america. Im proud of my heritage but also proud to be an american. I stand for equality to all and freedom for all. I do not have hate and believe in peace like most americans do. We are not against russians and we stand with Ukraine. But Putin is a dictator and the world is now seeing what he is capable of and we all stand against Putin not the russian people. We want russians to be free and to see a strong russia emerge from his reign. A strong russia means a strong america and along with that a strong world. The people of the world must unite and see that without the people there is no government or need for one. They know this and try to suppress us into thinking we need them. They need us more than we need them because without us there is no them! Power to the people! Glory to Ukraine and their fight against Putin! The power is within the Russian people not Putin he fears the people! Take your country back and watch it emerge and flourish! The west doesnt want war! NATO is a defensive alliance not an offensive one. Read the NATO pact its there to read for anyone who wants to. Putin fears NATO only because of its influences that will expose the wrongs he commits onto his people everyday! Thats what he fears! The russian people need to know this!
As a Ukrainian I thank you so much for this video. I'd just like to add that Putin doesn't bring it as a war to russian people, but as a "special military operation" in order not to make any bad asociations with "friendly" nation.
It's a war of propaganda, whatever Putin says maybe just to fool the people into thinking he is crazy when in fact he's trying to secure one of the largest farming areas in the world so that he can feed his armies in the upcoming World Wars. He probably doesn't care how many ukrainians he kills. It's all collateral damage to him as long as he gets the food to feed Russia and his allies for the upcoming World takeover now that there is a mindless weakling in charge of the USA military... Don't forget, the the Socialist Communist Russians killed somewhere between 10 and 16 million ukrainians by starving them to death during their last expansion.
Nobody in Russia thinks it's just a military operation whatever media says
Believe me friend. The whole Western world knows that Putin is a liar.
@@veeforteeto5976 It's hard to say if they killed them during Golodomor or not. It was a hunger all accross the country and It doesn't seem that there was a genocide against Ukrainians or if they were treated differently. Golodomor is so infamous because the wheat was produced in the lands of Ukraine and then Ukraine suffered the most from the hunger. Most likely it was outrageously poor logistics and planning from the soviet government. Not a direct genocide. The video is almost perfect but got one thing wrong. Ukrainians don't have a separate 1000 y.o. culture. Kievan Rus was basically Russia. Ukrainian nation shares this origin. Ukrainians have their own character and culture, but it's not a different nation in a sense you may think. Ukrainians and Russians are like south Korea and North Korea, not exactly different nations but already have some differences at least in the mindset. I'm telling you that because it's very unlikely that ukrainians were being killed with hunger, since noone doesn't actually treat them as "non-russian" and never did.
@@Freddis , one would have to be very naive to believe that you can starve 16 million people to death in the breadbasket of Europe by accident. Socialism always has to get rid of large sections of the population so they can take their stuff and give it to other people who tow the party line so that they don't rebel.
This video did not age well
But right after both Russia and USA agreed to leave occupied Germany, they signed a treaty that NAto would not expand 1 centimeter to the East.
They didn't
they agreed on this in words, not on documents thanks to the alcoholic president who was too naive and took America's word for it
Stop lying 🗣
“There isn’t one of us that doesn’t wanna be somewhere else. But this is what we do. Who we are. Live for nothing or die for something. Your call.”
Did you just quoted Rambo?
‘’If he dies, he dies’’
Yeah straight bias
@@elvijus yes he did
Ukraine war is not a "Freedom War". It's the Globalist expansion. THe Biden administration and the EU. They are not free. Look at what they did with the pandemic! They hate Putin Russia because of the LGBT, the women rights and to checkmate him from gaining their world dominance before the West collapses due to its mistakes(welfare, inflation). You want to fight for Globalists? The West is no longer the free world. The political paradigm has changed. It's a bunch of Globalists that push LGBT, women's rights and communism. And they got their ass kicked in Afghanistan because of that. It's either the russian chinese fascists or the western globalist communists. That's the world we live in now. And Ukraine regimes are corrupt as hell. Especially this one that has been established by the globalists during Obama. The West is running out of money because of its own welfare and inflation, they're gonna make it to be Russia Putin's fault from now on. And in this case the Western communists made the first move to nuclear missile arm Ukraine. Which is like SOviet arming Cuba. Putin is backed to a corner now. This is their checkmate. He has to stop it. Which he did by the way. Easily. Screw the propaganda of 'Heroic successful resistance of Ukraine.' It's crap.
As a Ukrainian, I'd like to say "Thank You" so this video. We continue to protect of our live and our property on 22nd day today 😇
