If NATO has an open door policy, why was Russia not allowed to join in 2000?
Bingo.
Must be trust from both sides
@@user-le8sn3xn2i no, America needs an enemy for the MIC.
they didn't want russia intact and strong, they wanted to split it into hundred pieces with the help of the oligarchs and then plunder it.
Because in this case, NATO's raison d'être would disappear, the alliance would lose the enemy that NATO was created to oppose.
ukraine a democratic country? did I hear it right?
Of course, didn't you know that? Only in a democracy do they impose fines for using your mother tongue.
Secondo lui...
Of Course it is a democracy, only in democracies you wage war for economic benefits, only in democracies you make up rules that benefit the richest, only in democracies...
"Democrazia " americana = espansione del imperialismo =sottomettere i paesi, dettando le loro regole, cioè, "non devi fare quello che faccio io,ma devi fare solo che ti dico io" =invadere,guerre, in paesi, per derubare e saccheggiare le loro risorse naturale, energetice, petrolio, gas, etc. = distruggere l'economia di un paese,qualsiasi, che usa di superargli, oppure di equalizzatore loro,economicamente, =sostenere i a paesi alleati loro, nella stessa politica menzionata sopra

Russia will never allow a US military base in Crimea with nuclear weapons. This is the reason for the war 😣😏😣
Yep. And they keep pushing this nato crap onto ukraine. I just don't understand it......
Reason for the war is Russia expansionism.

For years Russia said they didn’t want NATO expanded to their borders through Ukraine. Why didn’t we hear that and reach an agreement rather than just trying to ram it down their throats? This conflict has been insane from the start by poisoning relations between the two biggest nuclear powers and risking WW3.
Since when russia decides who enters NATO?
@@sherion80since the country that wants to join NATO would mean a direct threat to Russia’s borders
@@UncleJay101 Never thought why countries bordering Russia tend to join NATO? Who is threatening whom?
@@sherion80 for many reasons. Mostly political, some see it as a precursor for joining the EU, or being able to reduce their own defence costs.

American veteran writer Noctis Draven - "Ukraine and the West are extremely concerned about Russia's reaction to the Moscow massacre. The truth is that Russia treats Ukraine with caution. Russia has 100 times more power than it used against Ukraine. Russia has so far considered the situation in Ukraine as pest control. Moreover, the pest was Zelensky belonging to the West and his Nazi army. When dealing with pests, you don't burn down the whole house, you expel the pests. The West is concerned that Russia will not be able to hold back for long if there is an escalation like the Moscow massacre. It won't take Russia two years to destroy Ukraine. If she wanted to, then in two weeks Ukraine would have turned into a history lesson for Eastern European children. It would be a crater in the ground."
Thats' pure bs.
What absolute crap. Simply refer to what Putin said was going to be the outcome. Take over all of Ukraine in four weeks without losing a single Russian. Got that wrong, didn't he. Lots of young Russian lives lost.
I agree bs
Remember, Russia said it would take four weeks with no lives lost. Young lives lost, and Russian inferstruture now being attacked????
Well said. Except it wouldnt even take 2 weeks.

From an European perspective: I find Def. Sec Gen Austin embarrassing. I mean what kind of questions he was expecting to receive? He remind me of a student that did not do his homweworks and got examined by the teacher. "how do you define vitory" :well u know ...bla bla no point WTF This is the man who is supposed to direct the defense strategy of US??? God Bless you guys.
It seems so. But senator asking complex questions, but expecting simple answers. That's a bit silly from him. Its not so simple to stop Russia or China. And its not smart to give them, all they want
@@batmanyk Asking Russia to accept Ukraine inside NATo is also "silly". The main problem with this is Russia would lose access to Black Sea. Imagine Mexico reclaming California since that state is full of spanish people. Would the US accept it?? How do you define victory? That was an illuminating question cause Austin has no clear answer. This means that this administration has not designed a path to return to normality, either through a total defeat of Russia or through negotiations. This is not how it should be.
Or they simply do not want to share it with the public. Average Mary and Bill should mind their common men business and note poke their noses into geo-politics.

Good luck getting Crimea back buddy
Crimea has been Russian since 1783 and Ukraine basically were only administrators. Most people in Crimea are employed in Russian tourism or employed by the Russian navy. There is nothing there for Ukrainians. It is a holiday destination for Russians. If Ukraine gained control what would they do with it, nobody could afford to travel there and holiday from Ukraine. Crimea would be bankrupt inside 2 years.
@@awalk5177 The whole point of Crimea joining Ukraine is to put a USA base in the Black sea. The rampaging hegemon has lost the plot.

I posted “no more $ for corrupt Ukraine “ and YT pulled the comment. I wonder how long this will stay up. I guess you can’t say corrupt and Ukraine in the same post
Ten days now
Isn't the nato thing what started the war???
No, the US started it in 2012 when Obama/Biden/Nuland stages a coup with the help of Georgian snipers and authentic Nazis that ended democracy and a war when the Nazis tried to invade the Donbas region. Russian speakers were stripped of all right so they could not vote, all broadcast was changed from Russian, a language everyone knew to Ukrainian which was spoken mostly in the west where there was less population. Russia did not enter until 2022 when the newly independent LPR and DPR had legally declared independent and 17,000 Russian speakers has been murdered in the east. Almost all the war has been east of the Dnieper River which is legally Russia. Everything you have been told by the media and US is dead wrong, completely fabricated but so has every war or invasion by the US. Just since 2000 the US has staged coups or invade 202 times and not one was reported honestly.
Which country invaded Ukraine can you remind me please?

What a small minded person not fit for office
That's why he is in the office! In order to encomplish they dirty plans they need small minded one's otherwise they would have disagreements in the office.
Before the coup d'état of the NATO countries in Ukraine 2014, Ukraine was neutral and independent. Why then did NATO do the coup d'état that started the conflict where the Russian speakers became second-class citizens without rights. This NATO war is abominable considering all the fallen and injured Ukrainians who may now be at least 1.5 million soldiers.
Austin does not know what to say. Lies are the only things he can say with ease
I hadn’t thought of it that way but He made a really good point saying that our military arms producers are not producing the equipment that will help America if something were to happen. Instead they are busy producing arms for Ukraine all for the purpose to launder money.
STOP LIE.
The defense industry isn't producing arms for Ukraine. The US is giving Ukraine old equipment that has been collecting dust. Nearly all of the foreign aid is spent on US defense firms to replenish US stock after giving Ukraine the older equipment.
@@GentlemanJack705if that's the case then the U.S. dosnt really want Ukraine to win this war. Either way the U.S. is dishonest here.

Do many American know how this war was really started? Or just a handful seriously understand where their money is being spent?
Very weak questions. Will there be another request post September
Zelinsky will continue asking for money even after the 60billion of dollars sent soon. All because Zelibsky doesn't care of any ukrain victory, but care and love US dollar.😂😂😂😂 Zelinsky does not like Europran Euro currency at all😂
Geez, to say this was discouraging is an understatement. If Austin is the best we got for Secretary of Defense Washington DC gotta big problem. That was 4 minutes of mumbling, and a lot of ah, ah, ah, ah ....
It’s a common theme for this administration
Ukraine is honestly a bottomless pit for US tax dollars. Russia manufactures its own weapons at a cost vastly lower than that of US supplied weapons. Socialism is winning against capitalism in this case.
Russia is more pure democratic than any NATO country In a typical federal election there is no barrier to running, the 40 main parties plus individuals can run without any money. All candidates get free equal broadcast airtime and all are invited to nationally televised debates. The second most popular party is the oldest Communist Party because the elderly still favor communism but everyone else prefers one of the liberal democracy parties so the main difference is specific policies. Putin has won due to every person you talk to agrees that their lives and the country has improved every single year, the only country where the people actually see increases in rights and services. The people hating Russia have not been to Russia, know only western claims about it It is safe, very low crime, has more access to culture than any country on earth, great free medical care, very low cost of living, great cheap public transportation so it is faster getting somewhere then driving, 58 min paid vacation days, no taxes.....sales tax is included in the listed price, nothing is deducted from the payment for work, the employer pays the tax, long paid family leave, grants to buy larger homes if they are having a baby. Most people over 20 own their home clear of debt, twice the percentage of population with college degrees than the US, and no debt for university, police who do not kill people, the last time police killed anyone in a country of 150,000,000 was 4 years ago. Crime is so low that in 2017 73 prisons were closed due to lack of inmates. All the 200 native ethnicities that make up the population get a long, no homelessness etc. Doctors even do house calls, free. It is very easy and cheap to start a business. The population is highly educated and highly cultured, healthy and if you have ever seen a Russian woman and don't fall in love, check your pulse, you are clinically dead. If you see someone fat or badly dressed, you know they are tourists

When you are trying hard to defend something that is true this is how you sound.
somebody please explain to Austin that Ukraine has upheld its elections and is imprisoning & torturing those who criticize its government and so therefore it is not really a democratic nation
True even if Ukraine is fully in the right. Legally the west will be funding a foreign dictatorship. Not exactly the look I want for my country.
Hmmm. Rouge nation? Sounds like dictator alright over there
You’re right
For a US politician/military explaining what constitutes victory or loss in military conflict since 1945 must be the hardest intellectual task yet!
And that's why Russia will accept nothing less than unconditional surrender from Ukraine... Austin admitted the money is going straight in the pockets of the M.I.C. They don't give a Rat's Ass about Ukraine .....War is a Racket....

independent country, but if they US+NATO does not like the government of any country. They will interfere and remove any leader of any country if they don't like. Just like what happen in LIBYA, Iraq and even in the Philippines during Ferdinand Marcos era.
Administration not able to have any clarity about war, financial burden, what not, not an idea of victory....nice, legislature slowly spins from stones!
Most politicians are not honest enough to give a direct answer bcos they themselves do not want to lose their status at all so they need to keep playing these kind of games until something comes in favour of them
The honesty and intelligence presented by Secretary Austin is a joy to watch. The man is role model for morality and humanity. I am being somewhat sarcastic…
Western and American weaponry has been left with a big question mark, it is only effective against poor countries with mediocre armies or rather against civilians. America will have to enlist superh
No!US and NATO won the war in Ukraine in pockets....in battlefield?you'll knew who?
Keep sending money aid to ukraine for war but not sure hownits gonna win against russia. Ukraine might have more money in the long run but populations decreases and land cannot take back. So its a lose for ukraine what ever might happen

Écoutez-nous bien, ils ne font que contredire ce que la Russie a gagné en Ukraine, la Russie ne s'en prend pas au peuple ukrainien car ils sont même amis et frères depuis 8 siècles, au final, la contradiction Occident contre Ukraine ne produit rien du tout, Russie il faut conquérir la puissance occidentale en faveur de l'Ukraine, sinon c'est comme ça. 64 pays, avec pour leader les États-Unis, tous n'ont pas réussi à repousser la Russie ne serait-ce que d'un mètre. Les États-Unis occidentaux doivent mettre fin à leur théorie contre la Russie et l'Ukraine, etc. Eh bien, les États-Unis devraient sortir de là pour devenir une puissance dans le monde. le monde et son hégémonie ont complètement disparu.
Buying weapons like interceptors does not mean you have people to fly and maintain them that takes years to build up and then they have 0 combat experience. Ukraine has never been independent or Democratic in the first place that's the whole reason of this war, winning or losing it wil not change that.
“What does victory look like”? IT DOESN’T!
NATO is loosing and someone needs to tell them about the news
To whom, is it at war with someone? So far it’s only Ukraine fighting against Russia alone.
Keep spending monies that the U.S. doesn't have to throw down the old rabbit hole. Ukraine is losing and will lose.
Ce sénateur est excellent ! 👍
"I can assure you this request is not dishonest". Can we hold you to that, Mr Austin?
Sounds like Afghanistan 2.0.
The US occupied Afghanistan for twenty years and was building civil infrastructure during that time. The US lost 2,000 soldiers in those twenty years. Ukraine on the other hand has only been going on for three years and already the Russians lost 100,000 soldiers. Calling Ukraine just like Afghanistan is laughable. For context, 9,000 Americans are murdered in American cities every year. It was safer for a twenty year old American to go to Afghanistan than to live in Chicago, Detroit, Memphis, St. Louis, Washington D.C. etc...
