Russia's Geography Sucks, and Here's How 

this comment is so nice, tysm! but yeah the reason i dont post too many longer videos is just cus they take too much time. i just turned 16 and dont have too much time to manage with school and everything, tryna maintain my 4.0 gpa. currently its just me making these videos, but if i ever hire some other ppl that would definitely speed up the process and make my posting more consistent

@@reedschultzgeo I figured you had something occupying the majority of your time, but I would have never guessed that you are 16. Wow. I don’t think you understand how natural you are at this, because your videos do not reflect how long you have been posting for, or your age, at all. To put it this way, I would say that the only two videos on your channel right now are miles better in terms of production quality and clarity than the oldest videos on channels like RealLifeLore and Wendover Productions. I’m not even exaggerating. Keep striving through your education by all means, but I hope the idea of one day making a career out of this channel is within your hopes. Not only is it possible, but actually inevitable if you get to a position where you can afford to post more consistently. I can already hear you telling me about your new series on Nebula in an outro.

​​@@reedschultzgeo no wonder you made a video titled Finland joining NATO checkmates Russia it's because Finland being able to join NATO would increase the amount of land on Russia's western most border that can be attacked by NATO if Russia went to war with non-NATO countrys also this would give NATO access to the Sea that Finland has control over to prevent Russia from escape into the Atlantic Ocean if another war then the Russian-Ukrainian war that's going on right now! On a side note because of the countries that you mentioned before you said Ukraine twice also means that the part of Russia that's a peace of old 1940's Germany is always going to be at risk of invasion because of being surrounded by countries that aren't neutral to Russia, and NATO if Russia went to war with a non-NATO country then that part of Russia would be the first part of Russia to get invaded by NATO to get Russia's attention to indirectly tell Russia that eather they have to pull them selfs out of the war, or be invaded by NATO, and become forced to surrender!

​@@reedschultzgeo and Russia's economy might be super devastated, or possibly it might as well collapse once electric cars become more common, and/or cheaper than oil powered cars, and they become distributed to most of the world's poorest countries because then oil would become more expensive causing more people who are pretty responsive in terms of decreasing their carbon footprint to buy electric cars making oil powered cars, and oil prices to increase causing more people to prefer chapter electric cars over expensive oil powered cars creating a feedback loop that will cause oil powered cars to become near worthless, and putting the oil car making industry in jeopardy possibly causing the oil powered car industry collapse making Russia smaller if they don't change their resource selling markets to more environmentally friendly methods. 😅😅😅😅😅😅

You know winter even destroyed Russia

​@envectivity2517 but winter is only russia defence if a war happens

why did he not tell about winter that pushed napoleon and hitler back so easily…

​@@parshrajan786you're forgetting the fact that both Napoleon and Germany didn't settle in for the winter. They kept pushing (or in Napoleon's case, retreated after not settling for the winter) Simply waiting out the winter is an easy way to defeat Russia. You're also forgetting the germans beat them in the first world war

In Winter is inposibble 😅😂

The Ural Mountains are too low to affect anything right now.

Yep, and I think many countries will want to trade with murderers.

Интересно, нужно будет почитать про это.

@@Vkusniashka1234 The Russian fleet also threatened to Shell Australian ports along with other British Pacific Colonies if Britain aided the Confederates. A confederate war ship spent a lot of time in Australian waters and was supported by the Australian public, some even signing on as crew members. This Confederate war ship laid waist to the US Pacific whaling fleet and is reported to have fired the last shot in the war. The name of the ship was called the CSS Shenandoah. Russia also helped Thailand (Kingdom of Siam) maintain its sovereignty from being completely Partitioned/Annexed from the British and French around the same time. The very word Thai (ไทย) means 'free man' in the Thai language which is partially to thank to the Russians as they might have ended up being a colony or part of another country/colony if not for their intervention.

I’ll second this, I’d like to know more about the Philippines’ geography

I'll Third This I want to know more about the Philippines Geography ALOT!

this is misleading.. Turkey is committing a genocide on Armenians & the Russians are forced to do nothing about it despite serious national security concerns (google Pan-Turkism, or if you want a real rabbit hole, Pan-Turanism). yes Russia is on better terms with Turkey than most countries in NATO, but that's a low bar. NATO tried to overthrow Erdogan in 2014.

@@constantstudiesBro forgot to update his game to 2023

That is normal tho!

That was back then, now armies are more than capable of handling cold

And the Russians know the cold much better than any of these people who say Russia is “weak”

Winter did not defeat Napoleon. Scorched earth did

@@leonpaelinck as interesting as that info is, neither I nor @Jahmedmansour mentioned Napoleon. My first thought personally was Hitler

@@thelegendaryarceus5618they did scorched earth and it was freezing with the nazis if they didn’t they would have lost

@@XploitZone nope he is third

Yeah and Norway is just one country away from north korea

But the mongols occupied it for 200 years. Grand prince Yuri fallen in 1238 until Ivan III stop paying tribute in 1476. Europeans are just... not strong enough.

Read some more. You're forgetting all the other countries fighting those wars.

For most of the countries you listed, there is Belarus.

@@Vkusniashka1234 I said “almost” every country

No. Its part of Russia since 2014

@@oscaralegre3683 Just bc they illegally entered Ukraine and said "This is ours", Doesn't actually make it theirs. It didn't in 2014 and it still doesn't in 2022/23.

@@DennisTheInternationalMenace yes u fool. Literally every country have their own land by invading and conquering. Deal with it

Turks are Asian lol. literally only fascistic Turkish people think otherwise. start holding your family and friends accountable for genocide on the Armenians.

Germany

i know you're going to think this is a joke but, its not, Lenin has a lot of good writing on this if you're genuinely curious. i'd recommend his work Fourth Anniversary of the October Revolution, but there are lots of others online free to read. this is a very complicated topic that i doubt myself or anyone else could summarize well in a RU-vid comment on the off chance you're going to ignore this unless i give a shorter reply, the shortest description of this transformation is as follows tsarism in Russia caused intense contradictions to mount which led to revolts against feudalism, similar to others throughout the world for centuries. what made the Russian revolution unique was the ideology behind it, derived from German revolutionaries Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels. it led Lenin to writing his Thesis on National & Colonial Questions, which transformed Marxism explicitly into a tool of liberation for colonized masses throughout the world. this was the cause behind the name, Soviet Union, as it was a Union of nations previously colonized under 'the Great Russian'. after Lenin died, unfortunately ethnic chauvinism came more & more prominent. namely under Stalin, all government documents were regulated as to be in Russian instead of local dialects, which unsurprisingly created bad karma which came around to lead to reactionary separatist forces in the worst parts of the USSR, in eastern Europe (such as Poland). of course the main reason for the USSR's collapse was all-out imperial assault, but excluding the obvious this is worth note

@archappreciatorofjasonbecker wow did you write all of that or copied and pasted it but still thanks

@@DaDanish708 np at all, & wrote it for you. most people are afraid to talk about, never mind research, Russian history. especially the Soviet part, so i was glad to see someone interested

thats what im saying, his videos deserve to get more views 😭

People normally don’t care about geography, but me🤓

He did

@@someusernamehere I was talking about very first map. Yes, true that, he uses different maps during the video. But why not stick to internationally recognised borders throughout the video?

the Ukrainian government cut off water access to Crimea over a year before the Russian occupation began. you can shut up now about it being "this or that" country. Russia has objectively not been responsible for attempting to kill the local population, unlike the Ukrainian government. borders change all the time throughout history & will in the future. its dogmatic, conservative nonsense to say otherwise

That’s just like saying “why do people criticize Hitler?”

Old red scare mentality.
