NATO is collapsing like the Soviet Union, by the same mistake. 

Western media, aligned with Washington always lies, about everything except sports scores. The US is known throughout the world as the "Empire of Lies"

yup, I studying medschool in kyiv when the orange revolution went down, at first I was go Ukraine uhuu... than they sent their army to bomb civilians in Dombass for over 2 years and our very civilized continent "Europe" said shit about, I was horrified. when I went back to Portugal politicians were already lobying agains the "mad russians", what freak show, its not a question of bent moral compass is more like the total lack of it.

Yes, it's even started around 2014 after the USA and NATO sponsored coup of Ukraine opposition to overthrow a democratically erected president in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian government started killing its own minority citizens in Cremea and Dumbas area.

It's one of the most infuriating things liberals say. It started when fascists coup'd the original government in Kiev in 2014, and bombed thousands of civilians in Donbas for resisting. They then broke the Minsk agreement by attempting to join NATO and blamed Russia for Crimeans voting to be part of Russia.

Thats true, it started in 2014 when russian soldiers invaded Crimea and parts of Donbass under the disguise of civilian clothing. In the beginning putintold it were local TDF units but over time he dropped the lie and told it like it was - it were russian forces. One might say the invasion of Georgia in 2008 was the precursor for invasion of Ukraine

Fighting terrorism was never their objective they wanted to clear south east asia from so called enemies or future enemies of the zionist apartheid state Israel who would dare to stand up against the plan the zionists had from the start to expel all Palestinians like they attemt to do now and all the west is doing now is protecting the genocide committed by the zionsts today.

It was a pretext to invade Iraq and occupy the middle east. They created ISIS and Al-Qaeeda and every other terrorist group you name it. Not to mention the voices they silenced starting from Malcolm X, to JFK, and Julian Assange. On the other hand, you have war criminals being awarded peace prizes like Bush Blaire and so on.

There is still a lot of brain washed fools who think otherwise.

As a european (Swedish in Stockholm) I mourn this separation but I congratulate you).

Lol. China and Russia were bound to "unite" since they share a very long border, like Canada and US

@@Andyground11 There is nothing peaceful about Russia.

As Russians we feel eternal sorry for the policy of EU these few years, and we see sane Europeans as natural friends and neighbours and partners. From our side we did everything we could to keep good relations with Europe, but European authorities did what they could to ruin them. Sad that ordinary people like you guys and us have to deal with consequences...

@@amylee2405 What Russia could've done to keep good relations with Europe would've been to peacefully coexist with your neighbors instead of waging wars of conquest against them.

We are controlled by US what did you expect

But it’s not the British people , we have no say because our democracy is a sham .

heureusement, il était temps.

In Yugoslavia, the elites ( Tito's administration...) were the ones keeping the regular everyday people from committing genocide on each other, just like how the heavy-handed Baath Party kept Iraq's Shiites and Sunnis from killing each other. Regular, everyday people aren't naturally as innocent and good-natured as we wish they were.

Russia tried diplomacy but the west took it as weakness well not anymore

You have to understand that trying diplomacy is an option. Failing empires don't.

Putin was the one who invaded Ukraine. Smh tell that to Putin.

Of course

The hard truth is that one country (or group of countries) cannot decide unilaterally not to fight because the enemy gets his vote.

oh it is going as planned, and served it's purpose very well.

Zbigniev could’t predict one thing in hes book-China and it’s influence in Asia,Aftica,So America and Middle East to some extend. Also,US is not what it was 30-40 years ago.

War beings with it, unforeseen consequences... The academic ideologs in Washington do not know history. @@volodymyrbuchak1852

What kind of experience is this? For the first time in its history, Ukraine is at war with Russia.

@@HupRino I am basing that on comments I have heard on diverse channels. What I think about is what the Ukrainians learn sbout the way Russia responds to diverse things. Drone warfare, jamming signals, the effectiveness of tanks or lack thereof, air defence and Russian missiles. I would believe the Ukrainians know more about the Russians strength and weaknesses than what the rest of NATO does. I have also heard (even if they may stupid cliches) that the American mercenaries complained about lack of air support. Many mercenaries went home as they had not imagined that the war would have been fought in that manner. So. Yes I feel the Ukrainians are more suited to fight a war in their neighbourhood than NATO troops which is said to be using outdated methods.

@@SSEnrich Of course they are suitable, only because you don’t feel sorry for them; they will be forgotten exactly 5 minutes after the end of the war.

​@@HupRino America havent fought a enemy that have equally big guns as them. The last was in ww2?

NATO exists to dominate Europe not Russia. It is a US imperial project.

not wise enough to realize that the very vast majority of "terrorism" is, in fact, false-flag terrorism.

So what is the alternative action the West could have? Please offer more than "should not let Ukraine in to NATO" as it is now too late for that.

@@dabrack9350What it should have done was seriously and honestly negotiate with Russia in December 2021 to set up a sustainable security framework in Europe. But, when Russia asked for those negotiations NATO told it to get lost. Now what it should do is put pressure on Ukraine to come to a ceasefire. Ukraine will have to make territorial concessions, but that is the price of walking away from the ceasefire and neutrality deal it almost signed with Russia in April 2022. I don’t know if NATO leadership is lying to the public about its priorities or just daft, but if Ukraine continues to fight, it will lose and that loss will not be a few territories in historically Russian lands and neutrality, it will be total. There is no stalemate, Ukrainian military activity is unsustainable at its current pace, while Russian forces are becoming increasingly capable and much larger. Retaking territory in the annexed regions is now a complete fantasy and retaking Crimea was always a blatant lie, I don’t believe a serious single Western military analyst actually thought this was a real possibility no matter what they say to a gullible public on CNN.

@@QualityPen It is true that every analyst, all politicians and most members of the public thought Russia would roll over Ukraine just as they did in Crimea. And almost no one in America imagined Europe would even join in sanctions. I cannot abide bullies so chose lockdown sanctions with as much money and equipment as Ukraine can learn to use. We are running out of that stuff and out of Ukrainians to train so the whole plan cannot last much longer but then it seems Russia cannot last either.

blunder is too light, diaster is more like it

@@QualityPen Ukraine *did not* "almost sign" any deal with Russia in April 2022. Neutrality and territorial concessions were both thing Ukraine adamantly refused. And claiming those territories are "historically Russian" is a blatant lie. And NATO told Russia to get lost in December 2021, because Russia's demands were completely insane. Russia's idea of "a sustainable security framework in Europe" was for all former Warsaw Pact members to be kicked out of NATO and consigned to Russia's "sphere of influence". Which was obviously never going to happen. NATO would rather go to war with Russia than agree to such a thing. And rightly so.

As a German in Germany the most frustrating part is that still 3 out of 4 people see the US as the peacekeepers of the world and we can have total trust in them because they are not acting in their self interest but only for "democracy" and the good in the world. Allthough nobody ever listened to one single speech of Putin or Jinping they are all absolutly sure that they are monsters and want to conquer the world. When we went to school and they told us about Hitler they said one of the problems was that people blindly followed whatever the government told them no matter how ridiculous it was. And people who stood up were ostracised by society. And this is why we educate you now to self-thinking rational human beings who question their government so you won't believe any propaganda so that something like that will never happen again.....and what do i see now? ridiculous propaganda and who ever points to US crimes or mentions russias security concerns or europes economy problems is blamed a lunatic, a russian propagandist, a conspiracy theorist and is ostracised by society. They never told us who blew ip our pipe line. they said most likely russia. this is how much respect for us is left in them.

It is. I'm full of rage whenever I think about foreign policy. I have to limit exposure to certain topics due to health reasons.

The last time any Western European country was under its own government was 1945.

this was due to America making a deal with them to buy American bonds for oil and allow them to print money the way they have been hence the petrol dollar.

The USSR did not collapse. It was ended by decree. Russia's economy crashed when the US forced Yeltsin to do a very harmful instant privatization of all state assets. That meant selling all state assets which was 90% of the economy caused a new oligarch criminal class developed, the only people who has much cash, all the state industries were sold off almost free and the oligarchs suddenly were multibillionaires and many stopped paying wages in their industries. The US plan was to break up the country into 6-8 poor countries where the US could take control of the resources. It almost worked but Yeltsin decide to resign and secretly transfer leadership to a relatively unknown middle level administer in St Petersburg city administration , before being tapped to be a highly effective legislative assistant. Yeltsin kept it secret that he found someone he said was incorruptable. It was kept secret or the CIA would have murdered Yeltsin. Yeltsin was out of his depth as president and had listened to US "advisors" that included opening every agency in the government to have US "advisors" in every agency. That is what crashed the economy, not USSR. Appointing Putin as temporary PM for 1 year came as a total shock to the US which thought it had total control of every government agency. Putin challenged the Oligarchs, gathered them all in a large meeting and gave them 3 options, 1: be legal, pay taxes, pay employees and stay out of government , 2:, leave Russia, and take their ill-gotten gains with them but never interfere with Russia again, or 3: go to prison for their crimes. A few decided to stay and work legally, most moved to London or NYC where there were bidding wars for them by the two cities, all their crimes were forgiven but never had to be admitted, and they could get instant citizenship. When news of the change seeped out, washington was in shock that someone was honest had taken and shut down their power play and right from the beginning the west media has been fed with crazy claims of corruption and evil Putin, when in fact the rise of corruption was due to the US involvement and the people they just gave instant citizenship and immunity to, was just the opposite of what they planned. By the end of the first year as president everything changed, a little at first and then accelerated. Every year from 2000 to 2008 when the Wall street meld down crashed world economy, the growth rate of Russian economy between 3.8 to 7,4% Quality of life increased dramatically every year, corruption was weeded out, the police were reformed, incomes rose crime was almost eliminated, because it was not needed to eat. Savings rates rose and the middle class overtook the US and Europe in quality of life and freedom from debt, but cost of living remained low. Small business exploded. Real poverty dropped through the floor. I visited often starting in 1976 and very often in the 90s, but after hearing of Putin's impact as PM, I moved to St Petersburg in early Jan 2000 and have watched the changes in real time but also watched the decline of the west, the exploding poverty political corruption cost of living and feel sorry for those who are filled with daily propaganda as their only hope. IT is far more pleasant safe an fun in Russia today than trying to keep above water in the West
