Vladimir Putin: Life of a Modern Warlord 

I see what u did there and I approve

👍🏼

Agreed.

*🥁

😂

Thank you Simon for bringing us Vladimir Putin: The Movie

​@@carlramirez6339😂😂 same thing can be found everywhere on youtube for MH17 has been turned to politics attack and Simon forgot to state that even Malaysian president did not believe the West biased investigation. That alone discredited Simon as a real reporter 😂😂. At least he got money from utube anyway congrats 😂😂😂

​@@tamdang8346So....what do you think happened?

@@Genghis-Jon Well it is not hard to deduct especially russia has given the number registered of the rocket indicated that it belongs to ukraine military arsenal. Besides Ukraine has been building up military bases around that areas and fire rockets into donbass to terrorize population. The russian population at donbass has no rocket to launch back let alone shotting down a plane. And an investigation like that took maximum only 2 to 3 years to be completed, the fact that the West dragged it on for more than 8 years just to try to set up fake evidences, spread bad reputation for russia and concluded with a fake trial with paid judges and a bunch of self made evidence

@@Genghis-Jon youtube deleted my comments perhaps it is the truth lel

You underestimate the size of RU-vid

​@Leo-ok3uj you underestimate the amount of Simon's channels.

@@noahgray543 Is not bigger than the amount of Mr Beast copycats channels

That's because he's just a narrator who has a massive staff doing the majority of the work.

@user-wj1kg8qo3p well, yeah. I don't think anyone thought he did all this himself. There is a reason he says, "we here at warographics" or even credits specific writers and editors on other channels. Speaking can be a job if you are good enough at it.

What the hell is your username lol

Its tragic how often people discredit the Russian's sacrifices in WW2. I've heard many Americans claim that the USA saved the day in WW2, but I find this hard to believe given the Russians lost tens of millions of souls to the germans... if the Russians hadn't taken so much of Germany's attention, it is doubtful the allies would have progressed the way they did. If Americans have the right to call their enemies "terrorists" then the Russians certainly have the right to call their enemies "Nazis"

@@JackPitmanNica you do realise that neither the USSR nor Russia have ever cared about how many of their citizens would die, so long as their strategic goals are accomplished. In the eyes of the west, the loss of tens of millions of people is tragic. To countries like Russia or China, it is a small and insignificant price to pay for victory. The truth is, without USA's industrial might, even USSR would have lost in WW2, they themselves admitted it. The allies were willing to win the war with their money and wealth. USSR was willing to win the war by using its citizens' lives as fodder. USSR was as responsible for their terrifying loss in human lives as the Nazi Germany was. It was not the reason why the war was won, human lives were worth less than a penny to them.

Fair enough; but why must we give all the credit to one side? Why must we always paint a picture where somebody comes in as a hero? From my pov, thats all nonsense, and to dismiss the dead Russians is incredibly disrespectful to the Russian people themselves. But hey, most people love to disrespect Russians so I'm sure people will agree with you@@lonefish8128

​@@JackPitmanNicaI think that's the cold war. From what I've learned in America... if it wasn't for the US, Europe probably would've fallen to the Nazis, and Russia probably would've reached a stalemate on their front. IOW, the Russians weren't going to liberate the rest of Europe, if the US had stayed neutral. And then, once Germany had developed nukes before Russia, which would've happened in that scenario, then Russia would've surrendered. However, even though Russia helped Germany attack Poland at first, their later opposition was necessary to split the German army between western and eastern fronts. If the Germans could've focused all of their efforts on western europe, then in that scenario, the US might've arrived too late (Germany would've been in a much better position, if they hadn't had to battle Russia). So, Russia was definitely an important ally for 3 years. It took everyone's participation to win - Germany had the premier military, and the latest technology, when the war began. Russia was in somewhat rough shape, but the had a scale that Germany couldn't fathom.

⁠ “The British gave time, the Americans gave money, the Soviets gave blood”

Same 😂

I absolutely busted out in laughter when he tried to describe a battle of wits between Joseph and Vlad 😂😂😂

I love it when Simon slips in some hip lingo ❤

ur just making him sound sensible

Go away spammer

Don't lump him in with me.. Putin is the kind of guy to read the terms and conditions and agree. Then the people setting the terms and conditions mistake a window for an elevator and he has their replacement change the terms and conditions.

​@@dzzope I see this as an absolute win

Because he's got the balls to do what you're all scared to 🙄

It's the most honest and direct conversation two politicians ever had.

Biden does not but he has diapers

Trump after Putin invades Ukraine : Putin is genius dictator! Today’s world: 81 yo who tries to destroy Putin 78 yo who admires and serves Putin 71 yo who IS Putin and doesn’t give AF about anyone but himself., threatens the world with nukes and kills anyone and everyone who passes his path. He, Who wants to turn around the democratic world and understood “you cannot win against democracy with weapons, but through propaganda and internet.”

Man with Balls like no other

Biden and Soul is an oxymoron.

youtube employees have super advanced metrics about watch time and viewer retention. if they thought it would be more profitable to push this content over shorts they would do that

@@mrmakuman24esp when it comes to site wide retention, which is ultimately the most important thing. they don’t need to market their long form content, everyone already knows it’s fucking there

​@@33Avon88what? Short span of what?

@@ProjectionTrolll did you even read the main comment?

13:35 the ai generated video says otherwhise :P Im just making a joke to, its just visual clutter he puts on the screen for the video, his real work is the amazing reasearch

I recognize that thumbnail. It's the Prime Thantos synthwave lol

@@typicallatenightgamer7122 I will condede some of the visuals are where these videos tend to falter, clips that don't really make sense in context etc. But the substance is the important part, and they definitely deliver there.

Simon is just a talking head.​@@typicallatenightgamer7122

All he does is just repeat in NATO propaganda and liberal talking points

😂

That crippling Botox addiction is pulling a lot of weight

😂 Honestly, I think he had the front end redecorated.

​@@nicklindberg90 Master has given dobby botox. Dobby is freeee.

I can't believe his face looks exactly the same as it did when he was a child .

Yep by SIS propaganda department

Sadly, there were a number of significant inaccuracies in the video, and cases of Russo-phobic bias. It could have been better, with fewer errors and better analysis, but then again, it could have been worse.

About the same info as PBS Frontline.

I swearrrr 😂

I'm about to take a nap now. If I don't sleep to podcasts I sleep to one of Simon's many channels, something about British accents.😂

3hrs 20mins just dropped on casual criminalist lol

The truth

Literally what i thought when i saw the video pop up! Good nap everyone 😴😂

Literally same here lol

2 hours? More like tea and a joint

You are going to need at least, 5 teas

No worries guy, I made LITERS of tea 😎

Sans polonium, I hope?

Maybe Simon should avoid flying or drinking tea for a little while just in case...

At least there’s no windows to accidentally fall out of in the basement.

This guy went to college

We haven't used the term "comrade" in over 30 years here. Time to keep up with the times, lads, or you'll end up as inept as the last three PMs that you've had since 2022.

​@@alexeishayya-shirokov3603wow its almost like its a joke. Not only are vatniks stupid, they also have no sense of humor

The Simon train rolls on to victory!

That is a little scary to think about.

@@godswatching2863it’s real life

So, you want to be the one to get punched first? 😂

I immediately thought of the nuclear strike implications of this as well.

Took me a minute and 30 seconds to get the comment. Yes, we are screwed. We are ruled by madmen.

That's what game theory says

the fact that we're still here means the fight is not inevitable yet, or western leaders are so paralyzed by bureaucracy and indecisiveness and Putin has years still to throw said first punch

bot

Well, the warographic is masterfully done, no doubt, but imho it is really stupid to name Pitin a warlord. He doesn't fall under that defenition. He is the head of horrifingly-hard-to-control federation with a reereally complex government system, put in his place thanks to a compromise between "Siloviks" and "Oligarchs", in the midst of eternal "War of Kremlins' Towers" A warlord is a guy in charge of a micro pseudo-state with an ierarchy represented by one straight line. Putin is an internal compromise representing power of conflicting groups

Fat Electrician is slept on.

The Fat Electrician is awesome.

It is a really good video, but it really isn’t true that Ukraine had separatism before Russias involvement. If you want to see what Ukrainians think of separatism, please check the map of Ukraine voting for independence, even 53 percent of Crimea voted for independence in 1991.

Dude i hope the ppl you're sending this too will enjoy it or else getting these types of videos can be really exhausting

Quack bang Out

King Charles has basically no real power. Putin is closer to shut. An actual king than Charles is.

Charles is the most toothless monarch ever, he doesn't even have the late Lizzie's personal popularity. He's basically an empty crown, so yes, it is at an end

Ever since about 1910 the British monarchs power has greatly fallen to the prime Minister. They can cast a tiebreaker vote and ve an ambassador bur that's about it. Queen Victoria and Albert were likely the last real ones.

​@AeneasGemini His brother is a pedo and Charles somehow manages to be less popular than him.

Right

The closest we got was Mac Arthur, Edgar Hoover and Ulysses Grant. 4 years a term, 8 years max. We have corruption issues, not warlords. Almost like our country was founded to avoid such things.

Why do you do it? Genuinely curious

@@AdamOBrien29 In case someone is interested into a particular chapter

@@ignitionfrn2223 I mean more so why do you grind so hard and do this on so many channels? Must be like full time work lol

@@AdamOBrien29 Well i'm working at factory and work has been quite calm... Besides, because RU-vid is preventing me to edit a comment as i'm watching the video ; i proceed like this - I create a txt file - I watch the video - I take notes of the timestamps of the chapter titles on the file - I copy/paste the resulting table on RU-vid But alas, i also have to index the 3h long Cash Crim episode on Bonny & Clyde😰

@@ignitionfrn2223 fascinating truly, hopefully you get a Simon shout out soon!

But they didn't include the Muscovites amongst the Rus. The Muscovites offered the Mongols their service..🧐

I was born in 52 just like Putin. I’m in good health but time is definitely limited. You don’t have to be ill to feel the pressure to achieve long term goals.

*partisan

@@nonamehouse4442 the presenter name is partisan or the guy that worte the script or the editor , anyway good job every body

No, this guy is full of shit.

Well, well done for Russia increasing the threat by forcing Finland and Sweden joining NATO did to Russian threat. Finland was Neutral for a long time. Now because of Putin their not, when Neutral countries joining NATO, you know Russia is a threat. Well done Russia increasing the threat 👏you did something NATO couldn't do....

Thanks for the assist with Sweden and Finland

@@EdwardOfEastAnglia "Finland was Neutral for a long time" 🤡 what a story bro

NATO is a defensive alliance. If a NATO member attacks another country they revoke their article 5 protection. Ukraine wanted to join NATO because they needed protection from the russian federation. russia had already attacked ukraine in 2014 when they took luhansk and donetsk and formed the LPR/DPR as puppet breakaway regions as well as storming crimea and taking the peninsula from them.

So what're you gonna do for the other 117 minutes...?

Totally out of context for pure propaganda! 2014 coup the Donbass didn't support it, so Kiev invaded with ATO using Azov, Tornado, RightSector go research them, Tornado were even jailed by Kiev for their rape slaughter war crimes against civilians in Donbass, he took things out of time to make Kiev look good, research MINSK and how we lied to arm Kiev, NULAND and the NEOCON agenda NGO and the coup the BUK was Ukrainian the use of Airforce to bomb civilians!! It's like this was wrote by a team of US NEOCON propaganda people.

It can be argued that Charles is literally a douche.

There are actual followers of Trump who have gone on TV saying dumb shit like "America needs a dictator." Conservatives. The "small government" party.

It’s the byproduct of free speech and easy times. Inevitable really.

Don’t have to like a person to respect what they are able to achieve. Hating him achieves literally nothing and makes you blind to what he’s up to leaving you unable to see what will happen next. Kinda how we got into the mess in Ukraine.

lots of westerners are very ignorant to what he's done.

@@SacredOwl nobody cares about your childhood

Funny,no one cares about your irrelevant opinions.

​@@autism-is-unstoppable8017 wrong, I care

How did he not? Not sarcasm I genuinely want your POV

​@@John-sf9jj That's not my point of view, plain fact. The war was started back in 2014 by the CIA-coup-installed Kiev regime by then-president Poroshenko. He sent military on Donbas region for they didn't want to recognize illegal government (and being mostly Russian speaking population didn't want to be under apartheid Nazi-style government - strange people). It lasted for eight years, despite the UNSB resolution (Minsk peace agreement) sabotaged by Kiev, i.e. their Western masters. It claimed over 14,000 lives, in it over 12,000 Donbas residents, including over 140 children. Beginning of 2022 Kiev massed troops around Donbas, significantly increasing shelling for three weeks - clear sign of the intention to attack and overrun the area. Military intervention by RF was unavoidable to avoid onslaught and, guess what - it has fairly good grounds in the UN Chapter (article 51). Btw at that time around 700,000 Donbas citizens had RF passport.

Simon clarifies a lot of things, but…. clarifies them from a strictly hardline Western perspective that leaves absolutely no room whatsoever for the official Russian explanation of their actions. Simon speculates on the motivations for many things based on western opinions, rather than the clearly stated Russian explanation for why they did what they did. For example, he acts as if there were some secret battle with the west for supremacy over Georgia, on the contrary, Putin was very straightforward about exactly why he did what he did… Azerbaijan was attempting to export oil from the Caspian sea through Georgia, and that’s why Russia got involved, because the west was attempting to put an end run around their oil and gas industry

​@@Matt-yg8ub-> takes whatever the kremlin says at face value, whatever invaded Georgians say as a lie. you kremlin apologists are the worst. this is your brain on soviet propaganda rot. sad.

Oh no the big scary DEFENSIVE alliance. Go drink your vodka bot might make the bullshit taste better.

It is, but please be critical of everything you watch on the internet: Ukraine had no separatism before Russia intervened and there is no evidence that majority of people in Crimea Donetsk and Luhansk wanted to leave Ukraine. There are still millions of Ukrainians in occupied and unoccupied territories that want Ukraine to get its 1991 borders back

@@TKUA11 yeah, no shit. (???) I fully believe in and support Ukraine’s campaign to reestablish its ‘91 borders… can you not recognize an ally or do you just presume to know what everyone is inherently thinking or subscribes to based off a general statement? lol in what world does my comment evoke such a response? You really think I sit here and listen to everything I see on internet and take it for fact? Don’t presume to know anything about me or my education. I’m a trained journalist who left the trade because I lost faith in the narrative publications push... from both sides. I support small market journalism and I believe Simon and his team are an unbiased treasure in an otherwise hostile and unbiased world. Whether you believe there was a separatist movement in the east of Ukraine or not, the fact of the matter is that they are under Russian control as we speak and the Russians will not give it back easily. Whether it was Putin’s “little green men” circa 2014 or the full scale invasion of 2022… history can’t be changed and it must be recorded. And-quite frankly- Ukraine’s east has been the ultimate form of Russian “Active measures”. It’s a confusing, complicated time in history… not everything is going to be black and white. With that said, and since I feel obliged to let you in on a little of where I stand: Do I believe those regions are Ukrainian? Yes. Do I believe the invasion of Ukraine was an attack on Europe, and by extension, an attack on the western world? Yes. Give em f-16’s & long range capabilities & free Ukraine now.

that is actually me right i was laying in bed.

@@droger1448 so all of the people in the comment defending Putin are Simon simps?

It's gross. 😂

I think he does and is trying to annoy us pedants #cancelsimon

PBS Frontline has good ones too.

Citing sources doesn't make someone moral you know. Intellectuals have come to see citing sources as like, morality. It isn't. It's an empty action even the most evil of people can do. It's a sign of doing bare minimum intellectual research requirements. Not saying anything bad about Simon. Just weirds me out that people who pride themselves as intellectuals have made a false god out of anyone who cites their sources.

Watch better channels maybe? Unless you're verifying the sources, you have no idea what kind of information you're consuming.

@@mariusvanc I watch more informative videos than I honestly need to

@godwarrior3403 was making Simon out to be a shining example. Just saying it's nice to have a channel to watch that makes it clear (even if it's the bare minimum thing) where they are getting their sorces from.

This!

thank you all so much 😭

Welcome to the Whistlerverse. There are like 10 channels. The casual criminalist, astrographics, megaprojects, sideprojects, decoding the unknown, brain blaze, places, science unbound, today I found out, I’m pretty sure I’m missing one or two. Also he presented geographics, top tenz, and biographics 2022 and previous. There will be a few from 2023 but Simon stopped those due to disagreements and having 800 channels of his own ❤ oh into the shadows too lol
