WHY can't creators like THIS GUY be our news providers?!? Completely understand the logics of nations, countries, and situations better because of him. Thank you
They want to hide the truth am also curious as to why NATO wants to expand to the east
Because people might get bored and its easier to scare people to generate money and views. Im sure theres many reasons
@@ameame32 well, if NATO want to stay relevant, they need a new enemy to fights with. Besides, NATO were created to fight with USSR before, now it is Russia until everyone who oppose of NATO's way of thinking is no more.
@@ameame32 Presumably the same reason Russia wants to expand west. Whoever expands the farthest has the advantage in a theoretical war. Ironically though, Russia is providing plenty of motivation for said eastern european countries to want to join NATO. After all, that's the reason Russia can get away with attacking them, they're not in NATO.
Because they HV their own agendas

@@KichatovAY and what is aa lie here? For example?
@@Gibsan1a Russia started a war with brotherly people for resources? This is a propagandian lie. If this were so, Putin would never have mass support from the people of Russia. Many russians have family and friends in Ukraine. Wanna true? After defeat in the Cold War, the USSR broke up into 15 US colonies. And the United States has been pitting us against each other for 30 years. Putin was forced to start a war because Ukraine was planning an attack (NATO had been supplying it with weapons for this since 2014), and there was even talk about nuclear strike. Russia had no other choice. Ukraine is a victim, but of American occupation, not of Russian aggression.
i suggest you to go deeper every time you hear the word suddenly here. Cause it’s not suddenly at all 😅
This video was really well researched, well explained and much needed to get everyone informed on what's happening rn. Thanks for making it, it'll only serve to educate everyone on current events.
hey
E
you again
you are every where
Good information but a bit slanted towards the Ukrainian side. There is no mention of the fascist elements that took over Ukraine from the 2014 color revolution. There are laws that prevents Russian from being spoken among Ukrainian. If Ukraine consider Crimea part of Ukraine, how can they take away a fresh water for over 2 million residents? Not in the mood? It's a war crime. NATO isn't a pacifist block. It has engaged in invasions after USSR collapsed. I hope the Nebula video is more balanced on why Putin behave the way he does instead of for the glory of the old days. He is trying to protect the best interests of Russian citizens which is why he is popular in Russia.
This is a pretty solid glimpse into the complexities of Ukraine and Russia’s history. It was thorough enough to have most of the major details, but short enough to keep people’s short attention spans in check. Thanks for posting!
One thing I've never got an answer for: Why was the US justified in blockading Cuba and threatening war because they wanted to host Soviet weapons; but Ukraine joining NATO is their "sovereign right"?
@@GrigRP there's no objective answer to that question imo, it's all about perspective
Because the USSR lost the Cold War.
@@GrigRP that’s another reason things escalated in Ukraine. I can see where that would make me feel uncomfortable. I wouldn’t like it if China was putting missiles on our Canadian or Mexican border pointed at the US.
Mainland Europe relying on Russia for natural gas is just stupid. I'm glad the UK mainly gets it from the US & Norway
I think you might have it. The saying "follow the money" comes to mind and this makes sense, but more in the higher macro level of energy..."follow the energy".
Most wars can be boiled down to land and resource grabs. You can estimate the price tag on those.
BEST Video Ever AND gave me better knowledge about their interest! !
This is a bs video. Ask me how I know
Thank god for this. I’ve been following the current Russo-Ukrainian conflict for about a month now but I’ve never really managed to really organize the information in my head, and because of that the only context I’ve really had was just “Russia doesn’t want Ukraine to join NATO”. The existence of this video means that I don’t have to go through several dozen news articles to have an organized understanding of the situation
War not just conflict
If you want more information watch the documentary called Ukraine on fire and you will understand more about the politics behind this. It started 2014
If you want to fully understand you should go back to the ussr and 2014 after the coup
you actually have, since this video is simply worng
True! US also helped fuel this conflict by offering NATO membership to Ukraine , which was hopeless and went against the opinion of most of the world. It could never join as Ukraine has its own internal conflict and corruption, so first and foremost- US needs to drop any offers of Ukraine joining NATO. A similar agreement to the Minsk 2 agreement is the best we have to solving this.
The way you flipped the map making the NATO countries to the East at the top of the map and showing the shape of the European Plain made this so much easier to understand. Thank you for an informative and in depth video.

08:55 Don't necessarily need to believe the NATO is or could be aggressive. 1st: Look at their expansion and the expansion of their allies since the cold war (while they clearly don't want Russia or China to do the same) 2nd: ... They have nukes.
Why would it matter that NATO has nukes if they aren't/won't become aggressive?
Are I really think that. NATO so thread to Russia Iook on NATO army it does not exist
wow, its amazing that the news in my country talk all day about the war and just say the same things over and over and this video just taught me in 32 mins more than almost all the people in my country know.
So true…. Almost as if the media was a giant echo chamber
What country are you from?
Does it really matter?
Where are you, dear Mr Biden?
thats news in general for every country
Honestly, I don’t know what to say. Words can never convey the horrors going on in Ukraine today, and I never expected these events to pass. I began making this video 5 weeks ago and I genuinely was not expecting the invasion to take place a few days ago. Once it did, I struggled with whether or not I should still release this, and ultimately decided that it still offered valuable perspective and went ahead. My heart and full support is with the Ukrainian people, and the Russian people who did not want this war. слава україні!
END THE WAR LIKE IF YOU AGREE
End the war
yep
I don't think anyone expected it to be honest. I'd also appreciate if you made a video of what happens next. The ripple effects on other nations that depend on exports from both countries and what Russia's next move might be.
hi
And now you need to make a video about Us interest toward Russia and the reason of the hundreds of military based around the world. Especially the ones surrounding Russia.
I refuse to get involved in conflicts...unless its war, i turn my cheek
This was so much better than anything in the news or on TV. More objective, calm and not speculation based. Just the facts what is happening in Russia, the history etc. No political agenda but just trying to explain the matter to millions online. And all for free and not behind a pay wall. Thank you for that!
The US State Dept (filled with former Eastern European Jewish refugees) and the US military industrial complex who for 30 yrs (since the fall of the Soviet Union) have indulged themselves to expand NATO at all costs, forcing all former Soviet republics to submit themselves with the threat of coups and toppling their Democratically elected governments at will. The latest one being Kazakhstan this January. Earlier in 2014, it was Ukraine. Before that in Georgia. Next on the list is Belarus and Kazakhstan. All in the hopes to encircle Russia, place nukes close to Moscow to counter Russian hyper-sonic delivery capabilities and neutralize Russia military superiority in that region. Unless US/NATO expansion is halted eastward and Russia's security concerns are taken seriously and not dismissed with the usual US arrogance, things will only escalate. US war establishment will keep constantly poking the Russians to enrich their coffers. Putin's rational and measured actions pertain to the Donbass region where the CIA trained (arms supplied) Ukrainian neo-nazi militia are committing genocide against Russian speaking civilians in that region of Ukraine. For 8 yrs, Russia has been pleading with Ukraine to abide by Minsk agreements and no attention was paid to it by Ukrainian puppet government installed by US/Israel and flanked by NATO vassals. Now exhausting all options, Putin has finally drawn a red line and took action to secure the lives of ethnic Russians in the Donbass region. For any concerns regarding unilateral actions by Russia, read the US 'Monroe doctrine' on how it set the stage. Imagine the Russian and China start placing their military assets in Cuba Lain America. The US does everything unilaterally, whenever it pleases and wherever it wants. Does Yugoslavia ring a bell and creating a Kosovo? It will make sense why Russia is always on guard with the constant US expansionism impulse under any pretext. You can fool the western public using misinformation, disinformation, fake news and decades of carefully choreographed Hollywood propaganda from childhood. But facts are facts and it rings louder eventually. US establishment with its usual media propaganda and on the ground CIA operations wanted to make sure that Russia gets dragged into Ukraine and other wars in order to effectively place sanctions on it and cripple the Russian economy so that a weakened Russia can be brought into submission and allow NATO to expand to their borders and eventually into Russia itself to oust Putin, their penultimate enemy before taking on China. While the US global dominance declines rapidly, it will get more and more reckless and desperate to create conflicts everywhere to present itself as the solution. The US dollar hegemony is cracking immensely and the other big powers are getting ready to take action at the appropriate time. Until then, the US will engineer as many new conflicts as possible with its global peers while the situation at home gets worse and worse as the quality of life for ordinary Americans goes down significantly.
Yea, welcome to reality. People need to stop acting like it's impressive that someone does a better job then mainstream media. They are propaganda and money driven, so the bar isn't even there

It’s actually all really about the energy and mineral resources, the NATO part is Putin’s bs excuse.
@@ladyelainefairchild3546 Haha. At-least he made an excuse unlike the Americans sniffing out oil.
@@ladyelainefairchild3546 the problem is not Nato, it USA , if Georgia and Ukraine join NATO, Russia will be surrounded by USA military base, and their missile will right to the boarder from Baltic to Caucasus . It like USA point the gun right to Russia head. And with surrounding Russia, USA has chance to stop every missile from Russia to USA outside of USA boarder. It mean Russia lost nuclear advantage to USA. And without nuclear, Russia will be vulnerable and will hard to defend themselves especially you can see on the map, they will lost may be in 10 days and Nato has prove they are just “defensive” on paper, Yugoslavia and Iraq Afghanistan prove it. And replace Russia government with a new puppet like in Iraq has the most benefit for USA. They will has access to the Russia oils and without Russia, their only problem left is China who they also surround by their ally Japan Korea and Taiwan and with Russia fall, China has surround on the north too. And believe me get Russia out of global power is the thing the USA will love to do.
@@ladyelainefairchild3546 considering how long it take to fire missile to Moscow from Baltic to Black Sea and how long it take to Russia use there nuclear weapon and even Russia is dare to use nuclear weapon in Kaliningrad where is very near to Ukraine and is Russia oils. . And with USA record from Iraq Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, the possibility is actually very high. Moreover take Ukraine help USA to have chance to keep Russia missile out of USA border and even their western follower by stop it in Eastern Europe. Ukraine and the east country can be the shield to protect Germany and France and uk from Russia missile so Russia nuclear missile is really not that threat and without nuclear weapon, Russia is actually vulnerable. By take Ukraine , USA is really hang the gun into Russia head with kallinigrad and Moscow.
@@ladyelainefairchild3546 This is not about nato or the west vs Russia. This is about USA vs Russia. The chess piece is Nato and Ukraine sadly is just the board.And even the west get destroyed it not affect to much to USA , one get rid of an superpowers opponent, the other will have to depend more on them if Russia use nuclear missile.

So basically - the Cold War never stopped! It was just contained for 30 years, but was still bubbling under the surface. The 'frontline' has just shifted from Germany to Ukraine. So interesting, and kudos to you for explaining everything so neutrally and insightfully!
It likely will never stop. Russia is a civilisation unto itself in the way Europe is. So its perogative is always going to be expanding influence West.
@@nutyyyy as long as 500 war heads that can annihilate the earth are in possession of a temperamental country as far as power constraints go. Never!
you have a lot to learn. a lot to catch up on lol
It would be more accurate to say the cold war ended with the fall of the Soviet Union. But the "end of history" never actually occurred because neoliberal policy adoption has been lackluster at best in Asia since they were given time to watch its failure in South America. What we're seeing now has very little to do with military or colonial expansion, but instead resource management as a consequence of western interference during the maidan revolution. Had that never occurred, Russia and Ukraine would have likely reached equitable deals on gas exploration ages ago.
@@TropicalPriest the USSR never fell. It only transformed. And it transformed into something horrific, with even more blatant lies, with outrageous hypocrisy on display. Putin is a former KGB agent and a lot of his gang mates can be traced back to USSR. The dictatorship never left, Russian people never had a chance to voice their opinion and be heard. '91 started a mad dash to the finish line (which was indicated by the presidency/how hard you can squeeze the public after it got the taste of freedom), this is when the true nature of elites became very apparent. Putin won, whether by being lucky or purposefully getting close to Eltsin, it doesn't really matter now. The man holds the entire country hostage for over 20 years, strips it of everything valuable, plays the emperor: just as he was taught under the sickle and hammer. He will NEVER do or propose a productive or peaceful solution to a problem, because he was brought up by a language of violence and power.
In fact, the Russo-Georgian 2008 war began Aug 8 with Georgian troops shelling the capital of S. Osetia and the peacekeepers' base, followed by the advance of ground units.
Strange thing, really. Everybody is provoking poor russia, and it constantly has to attack its neibghors, make henocide and take other countries' land. Mentioning a peacekeppers' base, do you mean the Russian military base? Well, then I have to ask how can you consider an initiator of the conflict to be a peacekeeper?
There's more. In south of RU is Abkhasian republic. For some reason no one knows that Georgian also came in there from sea to Abkhasia. Abkhasia and Russia have a frontier, so Georgian military was like 20 min away from Russia.
I once had a Ukrainian friend who listened about the war and Stefania Orchestra. And he was smiling and laughing. *It haunts me.*

@PHX Swan Nato doesn't exist just for Russia. It's an alliance for whatever comes in the future. Don't you know that Nato was involved in Afghanistan? It offered aid in 9/11 too among other things. Nato has never been the aggressor in a war like what Russia is doing now.

By far the most detailed account of the situation I have seen on youtube or on mainstream media for that matter. Great insights especially on the gas fields and water factor in Crimea. There are of course other sociological and perhaps "spiritual/ideological" issues at play here which are outside the scope of the video (Russia's "origin story" in Ukraine, the power dynamics behind the various regime changes, the historical significance of Crimea for Russia and the reasons why the takeover of Crimea was so popular in Russia and had such little international backlash, historical reasons for the population makeup across Ukraine vs. the Donbas, the important historical contrast between Abkhazia/S.Osettia and the new "republics" in Ukraine, etc.) but I honestly can't see how you could make a more insightful, concise and professional 30-minute overview on this appaling situation than this.

This shows exactly why energy independence is not only essential from the perspective of the envornment but also for the national security of countries all over the world.
Exactly.
Clean and renewable energy that every country can afford is the cure
For Europe, energy independence is just not feasible. If Europe as a whole started building nuclear power plants (the fastest, cheapest way to get off fossil fuels), the demand for uranium would boom. Kazakhstan is one of the biggest exporters of uranium and is also another ex-Soviet Union country. If Europe went truly green (solar energy for example) they would still need to import the materials to build large scale solar panel fields and the demand for these materials would be so high that basically it would be the new oil. There's just no winning for Europe. There's a reason why historically Europe has been at war in one way or another for the majority of its history - lack or imbalance of resources.
there's no such thing as energy independence.

The WORST part of all this is so many generations have passed since the end of WW2 especially the Younger generations I don't think they fully comprehend the tragedy of War. I'm so grateful for videos like this that show Historical accuracy & can help guide people in understanding the grave situation in Ukraine. I genuinely hope this gets resolved with the least amount of casualties because it's such a shame.
Not really. Baby boomers and gen x are very much alive and well.
You must be stupid. It was boomers who refused to listen to Russia's concerns and interests. Knowing fully well what war means and what Russia is willing to do when they feel threatened.
I wouldn't go as far to say that the majority, but a great lot of us Russian young people actually do understand what the war means... It's just that in the time when the giants were made, our people were ignorant and weak after the collapse of the USSR. That's how someone luke Putin was allowed to reign... Our promise to the whole world is that we are doing our best to get rid of that deragnged ancient. In the long run, we suffer from the deeds of our idiotic government the most. So hell yeah we are motivated to deal with them.
@@JustinDOehlke I'm not saying they're not alive & well, I was just pointing out that our youngest generations don't have the same understanding & comprehension of the tragedy of War that our elder generations have. I have nothing but the utmost respect for our older generations.

I would Agree with you on this one.
I’ve always been drawn out to why Russia is invading/attacking Ukraine. I have watched multiple videos, read numerous articles, documentaries, news reports, etc. None of which were particularly helpful because all of those have different reasons and concerns. Is it the NATO reason, the Crimean region, or the 2014 crisis? But, now that I have found this video, this really did highlight what is the real reason. EDIT: Help my comment started an argument in the replies :((
This is mostly about Russia wanting to control its former colonies and feeling weak as many of them drift away from Russia. Russia has seen its territory and influence shrink to its smallest in centuries. NATO is a defense pact and would never attack Russia in an offensive attack (when has a nuclear nation attacked another nuclear nation?). NATO would only fight for defensive purposes. Russias concern is that it cannot use force or the threat of force to control/influence any nation if it’s part of NATO. That is why he fears any former Soviet colony joining NATO Since it means Russia will have lost almost all influence and control over it. Furthermore, many Russians including Putin (confirmed it in the speech when the invasion started) have a belief that Ukraine belongs to Russia or the Russian people. So it is even a bigger interest of Russia to control Ukraine thus prevent it from joining NATO or EU.
Well those are the reason but those reasons became broken when they themselves became the threat
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson I am from Russia, and I can surely say that not many people thinks that Ukraine belongs or should belong to Russia, even more - none of us wanted this war, the only person who wanted all of this is our president
@@arjen20 when who became the threat?
@@Kop176 there are polls out there on many russians feeling Ukraine belongs to the russian people. Putin’s speech when he invaded even explained his reasons for invasion - he said Ukraine was made by communist russia, giving aid by russia, and it’s history is part of russia. Many other Russian leaders have been saying this for years and polls of Russian people show they support those views.
Nobody wanted war - war was inevitable.

10:02 a factual error that devalues the author's further work. Income from the sale of oil and gas is not 30% but ~ 4%! The author was mistaken almost 8 times!
I know Russian, Russian websites say very different numbers. On average, about 15%. That could definitely be an exaggeration.
On the night of August 7-8, when Georgia sent troops into the territories that declared independence and shelled the capital of South Ossetia and the positions of Russian peacekeepers located on the line of demarcation of the parties, and then began to establish control over the rebellious region, a large-scale armed conflict began, which became the culmination of the previous tension[35]. On the afternoon of August 8, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev announced the beginning of the deployment of troops into the conflict zone (while some units entered earlier). Within a few days, Russian troops, together with South Ossetian armed formations, ousted Georgian troops from South Ossetia, as well as, in cooperation with Abkhazian forces, from the Kodori Gorge in Abkhazia, occupying a number of areas adjacent to the conflict zones of Georgia. Georgia: 412 dead (including 170 military and Interior Ministry personnel, 228 civilians), 1,747 wounded and 24 missing. Republic of Abkhazia: 1 dead and two wounded (only in Kodori Gorge.

That's the first time I've heard the geological explanation of why Russia needs Ukraine. Very interesting that the Crimea has so many natural resources that Russia wants. Obviously if Russia gets hold of all or most of Ukraine they can also restore the water back down to Crimea.
Geopolitics is multi-faceted and if people read and research enough and are intelligent enough to process info then things become clearer BUT most people are quiet dumb and have a fixed ideology though which they try to rationalize things .... you have to be a realist when it comes to geopolitics

@@HFddHFddHFdd No one has published exact data. But according to open sources, you can easily find information that losses are measured in several hundred thousand people. Moreover, 90-95% of these losses will be military losses. In America's war against Iraq, Iraq's civilian casualties amounted to about 1 million people. And then there were Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and Yugoslavia.
Twisted narrative. Hear John Mearsheimer to understand the whole picture.
True, it does not discuss the aggressive actions of the US/NATO, although the US is the driver and the other countries are its agents. It does give me a better understanding of Putin’s concerns and why America is so obsessed with having control of Ukraine.
Funnily enough one of the first things The Russian Federation did was blow up the dam that was blocking that canal to Crimea you were right on that. I think you've pretty accurately predicted many of the missions that The Russian Federation has planned for Ukraine with this invasion.

Russia has a much larger reserve of gas and oil than Ukraine, and therefore Ukraine can never and will never be the 2nd petro state in the world and compete with Russia. By the way, Russia is friends with Kazakhstan, former soviet republic. According to the official OPEC data, Kazakhstan has oil reserves in the amount of 30 billion barrels, which is 1.93% of world reserves and is ranked 11th in the world by this indicator. In comparison, Russia owns 80 billion barrels, 5.16% of the global oil reserve and has the 7th place in the world. Well, what about Ukraine…Ukraine owns only 0.395 billion barrels of oil and is ranked 41st in the world. Feel the difference, as one says. I mean, there is no point in seizing Ukraine and its so-called "huge" resources, this is a complete nonsense. Russia always tries to maintain friendly relations with all former Soviet republics. And Ukraine mainly imports gas, since it cannot extract its own due to the deep economic crisis in recent years. Quote: “Ukraine's exclusive economic zone within the black sea MAY contain more than 2 trillion cubic meters worth of natural gas”. Pay your attention to the word “MAY” which means the possibility,”highly likely”, but not the confidence about it. There is no evidence of it in the video, just some reflections about it.

Because rationalizing Russia would make USA look bad, since they’ve done everything Russia has done to Mexico, Cuba, and the Middle East So they have to paint Russia as absolute aggressors to remove light from their own atrocities

@@Undecided_ look shit that happened waaaaaaay back in the day pre UN and modern society is trashy and cheapshots. The middle east? sure i guess we could let Saddam invade Kuwait and then Saudi and on and on until it totally controlled the middle east. We backed the UN to remove saddam then after years and years of saddam NOT being cooperative with the UN weapons inspectors we went back in to remove him in a post 911 world. He kept threatening the US and our citizens with destruction of our cities by "holy fire" and "bathe the US in fire" and after 911 we decided that it would be prudent to take him seriously. If you are talking about Afghanistan the government (taliban) was given the option to turn over Osama Binladen and all Alqueda on its soil or we would go in and take them and remove the taliban from power for their actions and support of Alqueda in their attacks on our cities and citizens in the US and Abroad. Libya? they were blatant supporters of terrorism and were responsible for Bombings of Airlines resulting in massive casualties of our citizens and those of other nations. They also trained and supported terrorists in their country who attacked our people and those of others in the world. so saying that , what did Ukraine do to to deserve invasion that is a actual thing? They dared to say no to russia? They wanted to enter NATO so that they could not be bullied into submission by constant threats and use of proxy forces to attack them? how dare they eh comrade? Oh and i can see that you are among the people that say " the us attacked the middle east because of oil" we get 0 oil from the middle east we get our oil from Canada and South America.

That's an excellent analysis.

Turns out it's all about economics and gas fields (here the author is practically describing the reasons why Americans traditionally act to rob the natives). And it's also amazing that the Soviet Union had to look for gas and oil in the taiga, in distant Eastern Siberia, thousands of kilometers away in impenetrable forests, when, it turns out, this wealth was right on the coast of Crimea all along.
