How the NATO Summit Turned Out To Be Biden's Last Dance 

Thank you for uploading epicness as usual 😎

Good video. The scholzing by Ukrainian allies - in particular Germany and the United states - is frustrating. Wich is quite an understatement. So we see the curse in disguise: how aid is delivered with a big catch : limitations in numbers, as well in targets. But this might result in a unforseen development. On the other side, money flows into Ukraine, supporting the current innovation in warfare technology - in particular in drones, but also other systems like missiles. Not to mention the domestic weapon industry, as well international partners placing their factories in Ukraine. Its a paradox: we aid Ukraine, but we also stimulate them to become more independent. In particular the U.S wants to contain Russia, but it might create a new military powerhouse. A nation with western standards - but not overreliant on western (and in particular - american) systems. So when Ukraine enters NATO it will not be just a new member - but it might become the next power after the U.S, even before France, Turkey and even the United Kingdom. There will be cooperation - but also a strong Ukrainian-based military industrial complex: exporting, not just importing. U.S politics dominates NATO and western politics. They want Russia contained and Ukraine to survive - but still keep the Russian nation intact to some degree. But keeping a balance intact will not only prolong the war - it will prove to be impossible in the end. Thus, the unstoppable force of Ukraine could eventually adapt and overcome its restrictions by developing its own powers and weapons, tipping the scale to its advantage. Russia slowly degrades, Ukraine slowly upgrades. True - this is just ONE scenario. Ukraine is kept under constant pressure and this might continue for years. Pressure can make diamonds from coal - but can also crush it. Its a purge, wich shows whether it will be forged into steel or goes back into the rubble. This vision is certainly not the playbook of the United States. And when a new administration in Washington drops out of NATO or steps back in participation, this might result in more nations to consider their own nuclear weapon program - accelerating the proliferation. Then, you get a new military power in Eastern Europe with nukes, bordering a wasteland of the failed Russian Federation. Either a weak state with nuclear weapons, or several warlords, civil wars and other states like Turkey and China projecting their power, compensation the gap. A future carved by choices - and no vision or choice is also a choice with consequences. Predictions rarely manifest as foreseen - rather then a mix of scenario’s, or another variant. Also, new flashpoints will turn up in later times, weaving a new path. But to some degree, we should consider a more solid vision as western nations how we want Ukraine to evolve on the long term. I dont say this scenario is a bad one - some people will love it. But as it can manifest in many different variants with dangerous side effects, we should consider a more solid approach. As stated by many : the western world has no real vision, just kicks the can on the road.

The war would not have happened if NATO had not forced Ukraine to become a NATO country and carried out the 2014 coup.

NATO has figured out that war brings profit to companies and also to them personally. How many politicians have told Ukraine to kick back a portion of their aid to certain NGO's and "Charities" in exchange for continuing to get aid from the West. Trump is having none of this corruption. Russia will be stopped and Putin will lose, but their is more than one way to skin a cat.

You've been brainwashed by the globalist mainstream media

I agree. British populists claimed that after Brexit there would be millions of extra money for the National Health Service. The NHS is still waiting for that extra money...

Biden bears a lot of blame for this. He occupies the leader’s position the whole time during the war, but never made a clear case on why we need to stop and how to defeat Putin. Not everyone follows international relations or is familiar with history. It leader’s job to explain and bring people around to support important causes. A leader needs to lead, not just issue commands. Needless to say, I won’t be voting for him again.

@@PapaOscarNovember If my memory serves me well, the USA's biggest concern after the collapse of the USSR were the nuclear weapons that were stationed all over the USSR. The US didn't like the idea of many former Soviet republics (Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and others) becoming independant and having nuclear weapons. I believe there is a similar fear that Russia might collapse into chaos if they militarily loose the war. I guess Biden (and his security advisors) have decided it is in America's interest if Ukraine doesn't kick the Russians out with a big victorious blow.. But it is also in America's interest if Russia bleeds and weakens. So the solution is helping Ukraine just enough so they don't crumble. Just my two cents of course. It is very cynical, but that's how geo-politics work.

They’ve been stepping up. Europe has surpassed US in terms of Aid. But Your cult leader just wants Putin happy

Stop this doomerism, Trump has a history of being harder on Putin, he won't avoid supplying Ukraine with support.

This assertion is based on what?

But this signal that the US is unreliable was already sent with Trump's first election. The second election will only foreshadow what will happen in the EU: a further push to post fact populist right parties.

Buddy the European governments aren’t any more competent and reliable than the American governments is.

If any nation, especially first world european nations, has to rely on the defense of another nation via USA. Then, you deserve to be conquered in no other era of humankind. Does another nation rely on another independent nation for defense. Unless they are protectorate, puppets, clients, or vassals. All of which the European countries are not so get your head out of the sand and start taking things seriously.

The European governments are in terminal decline. Their economies peaked in 2019 and will not surpass trap point in our lifetimes due to demographic collapse. If anything, the Ukraine conflict has shown that Europe is too weak to fight back without American support. Don’t be surprised if in the next 50-80 years that Europe becomes a colony of the U.S. in much the same way that Greece was to Rome

@@AmericanAdvancement Europe peaked in 2019 ? My country has been in decline for 60 years. The UK has been in decline for 80 years. Until then, the pound sterling was the world reserve currency, not the dollar. Anyway let's say that Europe peaked more than half a century ago. Some European countries even peaked much longer before that. Europe does not need to be stronger than the US. They only need to be stronger than Russia. And that is not a problem. Russia's GDP is the size of Italy's GDP. It will take more effort and time, and the human cost (for Ukrainians) will be higher. Bur Russia won't win. As for Europe becoming an American colony. Nah, the USA has also reached its peak. They're in decline but don't realise it yet. Putin did not give a sh*t about the US when he invaded Ukraine. He (rightly) believed the US would stay out. China won't ask Washington for permission when they decide to invade Taiwan. The Saudis refused to lower oil prices when the US asked for it. The US doesn't tell Israel what to do, it is Israel who tells the US what to do.

he's sticking to fairly popular opinions. Even most of Bidens supporters recognize that he's well past his prime and just get contrarian because they dont like agreeing with Republicans and similarly many Republicans support aiding Ukraine but dont like to do that openly since they dont like agreeing with the Democrats. I know some diehards in either group and most liberals i know even said in 2020 that they were voting for Harris more then they were voting for Biden since many people didnt even expect him to make it this long and similarly I know quiet a few diehard Trump fans who still support Ukraine. Hell my boss has had a "Vote Trump" bumper sticker hanging over his desk for the last 8 years straight and he's gotten his friends and employees to boycott celebrities that support Russia, like my boss is a rare Steven Seagal fan and he stopped watching a movie the second he saw the actor and went on a tirade about him all because Seagal is a Putin supporter. Partisan politics has lead to a lot of weird stuff like that where people toe the party line even when they disagree with it, sometimes they do it fully knowing that the part itself doesnt even really support their own line but both the voters and the party keep it up simply because they dont want to agree with the other side.

A lot of Europeans don't really understand what Trump is about, because their perspective is mainly informed by media soundbytes. > Trump's position about this conflict has always been that it shouldn't have happened, that it was a result of diplomatic breakdowns and opportunism (the botched Afghan withdraw being pointed to frequently as an example of the US signaling weakness, creating a perceived opening for a strike) that came as a result of bad policy on the part of America and several European countries, particularly Germany & the aforementioned United States. > Trump's solution to the conflict has always been to get both parties to the negotiating table to foremost hammer out an end to the fighting. Both Russia and Ukraine at this point are too invested to just *stop* without some kind of strong international pressure on both sides to stop. Outright military victory against Russia in this issue is a pipe dream. Sure, if the conflict is drawn out we can make it hurt Russia more and more, but the cost to do so to the people who live in Ukraine is monstrous. As an aside, If you, as an international person looking in, are okay with spilling gallons of Ukrainian blood just to further weaken Russia in a conflict they really can't lose w/o escalating things into WW3, then you don't really care about Ukraine - what you care about destroying Russia. Which, if that's what you want fair enough, I can absolutely understand the perspective of wanting to make Russia cease to be a threat. But, don't hide behind the sentiment of "We HaVe To SaVe UkRaInE!!" - be honest about what you're trying to achieve. > Thus, if the situation were to evolve in such a way that Ukraine was willing to negotiate, but Putin wanted nothing more than a surrender in all but name? Yeah, Trump's going to escalate on that, and escalate hard. Similarly, though, if it's the opposite, where Putin and Russia are willing to negotiate but Ukraine is going to fight to the bitter end, he'll cut funding. That's just how he works.

Trump is all about populism. If leaving from Afganistanie would have been cheered for, he would brag that this is him who planned it and pushed for it. He will do anything that his supporters wants, whenever its good for America or not

@@ASNS117Zeroyah that’s a load of bullshit, and and the populist isolation crowd he has been cultivating, including naming an isolationist Vp, won’t accept it. If you think he can end this war you’re an idiot.

BS populist propaganda by the republicans

Loss for the USA? I thought USA didn't even arrive to the conflict yet. By the way, Putin has stated that Russia will never stop before its minimum demands are met.

Ukrainw ia not a NATO member. I would agree if Ukraine would be a member but they aint

@@ysahli I'm perfectly aware. I was using Ukraine as an analogy to how NATO countries conduct security matters.

You have a point. I was just thinking to myself earlier with a different comment that I was writing, that the thing that worries me about European defense isn't so much its funding, as it is its readiness level and it's capacity to expand if a genuine threat were to appear. Honestly, the latter especially is something of a problem all throughout NATO at this point, not just Europe. We've become accustomed to super advanced weapons that are outrageously expensive due to the doctrines adopted during the 2000s-2010s, and are no longer configured to fight a large scale war. Manufacturing for weapons and ammunition that isn't high-end is severely lacking. Combined with the perception of weakness in European militaries - what with them being largely unbloodied for the past 30 years outside of small deployments of forces attached to American military operations - and it's a problem that just throwing more cash at the issue isn't going to solve. At least not quickly.

@@sassenspeyghel4155 For everything.

Political.

@@sassenspeyghel4155 Obviously lol. And they're right. The single biggest thing this election cycle has proven, is that there needs to be an age cap for elected officials. Maybe it can be something we can adjust in the future as technology in medicine improves and lifespans increase, but we really need to see to adding an age cap for political critters. Maybe retirement age +5? So if you can retire at 65, you cap out in terms of being eligible for elected office at 70?

They can't leave because of all the dodgy deals they have done, being in Congress gives them some level of protection

Grab your popcorn, the shows heating up. #Ominous music

How so? This is pretty obviously pro nato

@@SA2004YG having a bias doesn't mean you lie. Views are one thing. Facts are another

Balanced lol.

@@KaloyanKasabov I never said anything about lies, I was referring to the "balanced" claim

Not slightly balanced. Heavily biased.

The problem is Western Europe has not been really great at providing that sort of protection. France and Britain do not have industrial strength or or military equipment to really do that. And Germany isn’t even in the ballpark. If you look at the data, France has 500 tanks inventory, Britain has about 250, and their air forces pretty small. Never mind all of the logistical needs. Western Europe could absolutely provide the protection if they really wanted to, but it would require them to spend significantly more money than they are now. And western European countries don’t seem to really wanna do that.

This take just isn't based on reality. Those "Southern Europeans" aren't even in Europe. Those are the Middle East and Northern Africa, respectively. Western Europe has been almost completely demilitarized since the end of the Cold War and is only now just starting to get back into rearming despite numerous voices outside of Europe practically begging them to get their shit together. Just look at their collective budgets, readiness levels, downsizing, and public statements from Washington officials toward Europe regarding European defense. Western Europe has a verifiable history over the past century of not being able or willing to defend its allies/see to its commitments. Just ask Poland if you want a practical example, or the various horrific state of affairs that Europeans left in their wake upon their exit from Africa. Eastern Europe has every right not to want to trust Western Europe for defense. Look at their track record in the past century - whether they'll even honor a treaty is extremely up in the air. By comparison, the United States is much more reliable of an ally.

@@ASNS117Zero Impressive, you managed to get everything wrong. You have the tiktok level of geopolitic. Turkey against Greece, Morocco against Spain, Libya against Italy. Often USA take the side against Europeans in those conflicts/crisis, that's why Southern Europeans feel very little concerned toward NATO and USA which is at best neutral, at worst an enemy. And let's not even talk about Cyprus that is occupied by a NATO country. NATO is not an alliance to protect Europe, never was, never will. Western European budget is exactly the budget and the army they needs. The biggest threats for us are on overseas territories (which are not covered by NATO) or we don't have any (Belgium, Netherland, Danemark, etc..) Why increase it ? To defend Eastern Europeans ? Why defending territories that are in US sphere of influence ? It doesn't concern us. My great grand father was literally killed in a war started to defend Poland independence, we kept our words, always did. While Polish people begged Germany to invade Czechia in 1938 so they could save their ass (that didn't worked lol). We have 0 lessons to get from them. We also have 0 lessons to get from USA either when it's about leaving Africa or Middle East. We are the one dealing with the worst refugee crisis in human history THEY created by bombing and invading middle east for 10 years. Africa is far better now that the state we found it in the 2010s after USA passage. Sure, Eastern Europeans has every right to chose USA protection over Western Europe. They are a very reliable ally right ? That's why everyone are very confident USA will commit to their role in the next 10 years right ? I mean, it's not like they are about to become isolationist exactly when things start to get heated like they did in the 1900s and 1930s right ? They are reliable remember ! Ask the Kurdes, the Afghan Republic, Hussein, South Vietnam and every other countries they backstabbed how reliable they are. I am sure eastern Europeans are very happy with USA at the moment and are not begging Western Europe for protection at all, because USA is such a reliable ally.

​@@mrsupremegasconok your arguments are typical Russian propaganda lies at this point.

This is a joke right? Western Europe has sold out Eastern Europe multiple fucking times.

judging by the calls of the rest of maga, I doubt this

Trump will stop aid to Ukraine and claim it as a victory because he "ended" the war.

L?

Can't he blame it on Biden? (Which would be factually correct too.)

@@hyhhy Trump got his pals in Congress to cut off military aid for 6 months, so he deserves blame too.

If a war between NATO and Russia breaks out then the Russians will go straight to the nuclear option since they cannot win a land war against the alliance

Wait until the next German election, and there won't be much left, but a neoclassical ex Black Rock manager (Merz) who won't see the profits in helping Ukraine, fixating on outdated austerity politics while further engaging in the typical corruption where a lot of money is spent on purely bureaucratic bills that have no real-life effect whatsoever, and merely serve marketing purposes. His party has always been about maintaining power without changing anything, but also personally profiting from this situation.

Not at the expense of the USA. USA have funded this guarantee with free money from your printers. Not to mention that being the worlds police come with certain privileges in terms of self-interests like oil and other ressources and diplomacy in general. When Trump inevitable wins and starts pushing nationalism and semi-abandoning (he won't leave NATO) allies. EU will be forced to stand on its own, but by doing so, it will also be more independent in the future. This means USA will have less leverage on the geopolitical stage. Is all this good or bad? I don't know - you can decide for yourself.

True

@@Furri1bia I would say that author just presents the perspective of east-european coutry. It should be obvious that eastern europeans won't hold russia side of this conflict. Who once was under russian thumb knows what it brings, and definitely will not want the history to repeat.

@@Furri1bia No arguments here. What exactly is here pro Wester or pro globalist? Where do you see wishful thinking. Are you just making stuff up?

Because european nations didnt believe there to be a war so spending more on military made no sense. Only after russia invaded ukraine they wanted to spend more on military to support ukraine. There was always money for military but no will

you are missinformed on the "fair share" the 2% is not the share to pay to NATO, it's what the alliance, back then, saw as the target that each country should spend on THEIR OWN defence. the military budget is just for each single country and include wages of soldier, office workers, provvision and maintanance (which in avarage take 60%ish of the total budget, depending on the country military profile) it is NOT a budget that is payed to NATO Also, for hell's sake, the USA budget need to be shared across 2 effing ocean ( among 11 aircraft carrier, 100s of other ships, 1000 of tanks, other vehicles and the army wages)

So in other words during the 60s 70s 80s 90s and early 2000s European militaries put less than 2% of their budget into their own military defense is that what you're saying and their belief was why should they they had the United States protecting them and to be quite honest with you we should not be in European affairs anyways somehow we got stuck with that over 100 years ago and we're still all up in your guys's business

Nobody made the "US" pay for its defense. It was a request approved by the US themselves

@@tomsmith476 again, missinforamtion and missintepetration. -USa need to ship their army oversea, rasining cost a lot (i suggest ryan mcbeth for some info on the matter) and again, thei budget cover BOTH ocean, and maint of honestly too many vehicles. -the GDP increased in all this time you know? the 2% of 100 is 2, the 1,5% of 200 is 3, the 1% of 400 is 4. The detractor of state that do not reach the 2% always skip on this part -again, the idea that USA did all the heavy lifting is wrong, and the bases in europe they are using are paid by the country they are in -the spending depend from country to country. on top of the wages, upkeep of building, provvision of food and ammo, maint of vehicles, maint of aircraft (more expensive), eventual maint of naval vessel (awfully expensive) what you need change depending oon the country. for example, italy will spend less on land vehicles but more on aircraft (like the 7 billion euro for F35 and F22 they are sending to USA) and way more on ships -some country are logistically incapable to spend that much. if luxenburg actually spent on their army (which is 900 men btw) 2% they'll need a bigger country just in parking lots -AGAIN, Nato is about collaboration within existing infrastructure, not cumulative budget -most manufactoring of weapon happen in the USA, for which EU country are paying the USA, with their budget, not NATO, but the detractor also skip this part

All live in Germany now…

XDXDD

That is stupid. Neither Russia nor NATO want it. Russia, becouse they want to play role of indemendent imperium. NATO because noone trust Russia at this point. Not to mention, they had a chance for it in early 2000' but Putin demanded they would be asked for it, and they would be let in without asking for permission to other allies. He thought he can make deal with America to split "spheres of interest" just like they did in ribentrop-molotov pact. That just show what is Russian perception of alliances of equals, and obeying of treaties

Lol
