What is the woman at 1:20 blabbing on about? She says the US blames USSR/Russia for the atomic bombs dropped in Japan? As an American, I've never heard this. And said US-Russian relations have never been positive except WW2 but the 1990's things were relatively positive. There was hope that Russia would turn into a normal country but the brutal way Russia fought in Chechnya gave the west and US less hope in Russia. It was under Putin the relations soured.
@@kastus77 Yeltsin, right? Is it Eltsin in Russian? The mid 90's fight in Chechyna was already seen as troubling in the west but they hoped things would change. The 1999 fighting lead by Putin was brutal and that really concerned the US and west. Putin did basically what he had done in Ukraine and Syria which is target civilians and punish them.
I heard several times that Japan was about to surrender anyway, and the bombs had 2 goals : end the war before USSR turn against Japan and take control of the island, and the bomb will show how powerful the US are so the USSR will not turn against them. I guess that's what she refers to
На самом деле, это довольно часто встречающийся "аргумент". Думаю, он появился благодаря социальным опросам, в которых очень "образованные" японцы обвиняли русских в бомбардировке Хиросимы и Нагасаки, потому что они на самом деле не знают, кто это сделал (а если ты не знаешь, кто виноват - значит виноваты русские)
I KNOW And she got a carry out boyfriend from china so that’s where her loyalty lies, but how stupid not the poor girl but the system that Indoctrinated her such. And she needs to take a breath and really think before she talks
She never said that US blamed Russia about Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing. She said "В японии выстроили такие отошения что виновата pоссия". Translation is "In Japan, they built such attitudes that Russia is to blame". I saw a video where Japanese people were asked about who bombed them and majority said Russia. The question remains - why people think that.
I would imagine the Japanese still remembered defeating Russia in the Russo-Japanese War and other hostilities with Russia, which is a close geographic neighbor, and so in many ways it was an almost natural, albeit incorrect, conclusion that it was the Russians as they had ample historical reason to be vindictive towards the Japanese people.
Stalin invaded Manchuria the same day the 2nd a-bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. So the Japanese people probably felt they were stabbed in the back and blame USSR for them losing WWII, not dropping the a-bomb.
@@iMost067 Japan never invaded USSR in WWII. Stalin didn't want to fight a 2-front war and Japan didn't have enough resources to fight USSR and US at the same time, so they signed a neutrality agreement. Of course Stalin also signed a neutrality agreement with Hitler.
@Max შემიწყალე even if that had anything to do with it (which I disagree with because Japan remained independent) it is sure as heck not ‘blaming’ the Soviet Union.
"how can they attack us?" Some people are detached from reality to assume that they can wage war, and not be hit back by those same people. They don't have their own feet attached to the ground.
It's just that she's only heard propaganda and is convinced that Russia was never the one attacking anyone in the first place, but has to "defend" it's souvernity. Can't blame her, she's old and probably only watches TV.
No, seriously, you're allowed to support the government as much as you want. It's like the old saying about Ford "you can choose any color you want as long as it's black", here it's "you can express any opinion you want as long as it matches the government view"
Never mind, here, in Russia, it is normal been in parallel reality and do not see naked facts. It is country of absurd, but be careful- that is why we get victory against Napoleon(he did not expect such unprecedented stupidity from the enemy; our tactics then do not lend themselves to any logical explanation at all).
how's that? you can't compare education in Europe, including russia and older soviet countries, with any other in the world apart from countries like Singapore, Hong-Kong, etc. In the Americas, besides Canada, the rest is really bad, and unfortunately, Africa is still the wealthier continent with the poorer educated (as we wish, of course).

@@peristicas3119Here in Spain I think the education is pretty bad. However I've met classmates that went to a US highschool and said it was much easier.
as a Chinese, the history with Russia is super complicated. China has lost most of her territory to Russia/USSR directly or indirectly. However China had also received a lot of assistance from USSR in the 50s. Today, it was the US led Western world that pushed Russia and China closer. Maybe it's not an alliance but it's definitely a partnership that benefits both sides
According to Valentina 2:46, when the US comes to the aid of a people under attack by tyrants, it's "starting a war." Ok then: In that case, when the US began aiding the USSR in the 1940s, it "started" World War II. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 And she's supposed to be an educated person! (Retired economist.)

I would rather the question being asked is of “good partners” rather than “allies”. Ally typically means you are all in on most if not all geopol-topics and must come to aid without regards for self interests, or the interests are mostly aligned. You can enjoy very close relationships and help each other economically, militarily internationally, but you should not lose your own national identities. China is a explicitly stated Non-Ally country. So I don’t think they are the ally that you are looking for. Nor should you expect allies in that strict “Ally”definition nowadays. US could be partners but they would prefer to keep larger countries subjugated unless you are small and could never pose any threats or challenges to their hegemony, or they will fuck you over like they are doing with Russia and China today. After all, “自力更生 (work hard yourselves)but with lots of good friends”should every countries motto.
I'm yet to hear what legitimate harm did the West do to Russia? What and when exactly was done to Russia by the West? All I hear is bitterness that Russia is not treated as an equal partner by USA and EU combined, which is farcical when Russia has an economy the size of Spain. But no specific explanation is ever given, what did the West do to Russia to deserve hate?
Coming from one of the more neutral countires, there has never been a mention of Russia being blamed for that in the textbooks or any internet articles I've read in my language or in English.
>> I don't ever remember being taught Russia was to blame for bombing Japan. Was you taught about mass imprisonment of innocent men of japan origin in the USA??
As a Chinese I think Russia and China are not allies but we need each other’s support in many situations. China and Russia have maintained very positive relationship, economically and politically, for a long time with mutual respect. Sometimes I think this relationship is even better and more stable and sustainable than allies. No allies can last forever but a good neighbor is possible. Btw, I have seen so many colleagues from Russia and I work as a software engineer. I have met so many talented Russian engineers with superb math and coding skills. I ❤ them
Though China and Russia have a long border, the border is not near to the population center of either country. So, do Chinese and Russians think of the other as "nearby"?
@@controlLyapunov It's a simple question about psychological distance. If you don't know the answer, just say so. Here in the US, residents of Boston are more attuned to Europe than to Mexico or China. Miami thinks of Columbia and Brasil as nearby. Honolulu thinks about Japan.
@@jonlenihan4798 I get it. Similarly in northeast China people feel close to Russia and Korea. In Inner Mongolia province of China there live many citizens from Mongolia. In Tibet and Yunan people feel even closer to Vietnam and other southeast countries than some part of mainland China. However that doesn’t mean Russia and China are NOT nearby because there are ppl living in the far east side of Russia and the borderline is so long. I encourage you google a city in China called Harbin and check out how heavy it is impacted by Russian culture. If you don’t know the answer just say no
Russia is now a vassal state to China, the junior partner in their new relationship, a source of raw materials for their industries. 14 months ago Russia was the leader of Central Asia, now the undisputed leader of that region is China. Russia is starting to resemble N. Korea more and more every day.
true. China has absolutely NO interest in building up the russian industry, all it wants is cheap oil and gas and they will just flood the russian market with their own products, as it is way cheaper for them to produce in China. So not having western investors in the russian economy will lead to russia being the new Iran. Only ressources, nothing else. Oh, of course some nukes.
It would be good if Russia would use Mexico for its own selfish purposes against the United States. How would the Americans react, would they be fools if they defended their borders? You Englishmen don't have to meddle where they shouldn't, I assure you we live very well in Russia. We are not afraid that we will not be able to go to Europe or the USA, we can go to many other countries. We do not need your technologies, and why should we service your external debt to our own detriment? In the war in Ukraine, the US aggressor against Russia is 100%.

I visited Russia about 10 years ago on a tour. It was eye opening as Russia was painted as the evil for so many years by the Western media. Anyway my tour guide was a lady in her thirty. She was sad to see Russia stopped the space industry which was world leading due to economy, and had to share the knowledge with US for the money. People were looking for quick money instead of building up their competitive edge. China has probably done better in this regard.
@@freefree1219 Ideology talks aside, I think that's why some Russians like Putin say that the downfall of the USSR was a huge geopolitical catastrophe. Russia basically sold their entire country for cheap and that cost them decades of their future. During the same period, China was just about to jump on the globalization bandwagon and boom in economics, and the policymakers most likely have taken notes from the story very carefully.
It's insane how throughout history russia has had countless oppurtunities to make itself one of the most prosperous and powerful nations on earth, at times even coming so close, but has squandered it every single time through authoritarianism, war and corruption.. to what end. The cycle simply repeats and probably will for as long as russia exists as a country.
My dad had a saying that when people are hell bent on destroying their lives it’s best to let them “live their paycheck”. If you try to rescue these people from their personal choices or try change their world views before they experience the natural consequences of those choices and beliefs, it’s not going to work. They will resent you for trying to help, make you responsible for for their lot in life and then embrace those who are trying to exploit them. If people in a culture value the mirage of strength and stability of authoritarianism, you can’t rescue them from the natural consequences of that belief. You can only wish them well and leave them to decide when they’ve finally had enough of the corruption and oppression that authoritarianism brings. Whether we help them or not, Ukraine has spent the last 13 months demonstrating that they will lay down their lives to fight for their sovereignty, freedom and self governance. It couldn’t be more clear that helping Ukraine, by giving them a leg up in this fight, is resources well spent because Ukraine is ready to change. Sadly Russia is probably best left to it’s own devices. Prematurely rescuing them again, like we did in the 90’s, will only perpetuate the problem for both them and for the rest of the world. If they believe that they can go it alone in the world or that they want to trust and partner with China, we should just let them.
I couldn't agree more. I've thought about this every time that I've heard an American say that the Russian people just don't understand what's happening. I'm certainly not saying that all Russians are bad, but most of them support what is happening. This is what they want.
Yeah I don't have much hope for Russia taking a democratic turn... They are in love with strong men who do nothing but exploit them.... They have proven time and time again they do not value or understand politics. At least many of the intelligent Russians were able to leave and I wish the best for that group...

Very good. This is among the best of your videos, Daniil. Congratulations to you and Artyom!! Sheer luck, really, as you bumped into a large number of articulate and well-informed people to interview. Thanks!
@@romanz9342 If true, I am all right with that, Roman. But viewing from my little New York City bubble, I am very glad that Daniil and his crew are giving me the opportunity to listen to views from urban and semi-rural Russia. It gives me a small (though imperfect) window into Russia that I would not have had otherwise.
It is possible that China will not absorb Russia in the sense of annexation, because the risk is too great for China (social, economic, Russia is too depraved and rotten to the very roots). These are two very different autocratic systems based on different values. But China will certainly colonize and fully pacify Russia, so that it will no longer play any role, at most in the style of North Korea. In addition, China also started to care about good relations with Ukraine (due to its resources and location), which (surprise!) will not turn into a Russian colony and a large Russian concentration camp, as both China and Russia imagined a year ago.
@@tnickknight All it takes is a little referendum. Ask some of the Chinese living/working in Russia if they would like their current locations to become part of China. Then declare that they all said yes, sign a few papers and voila.
He's Asian looking, but that doesn't mean he must be Chinese. He could be Russian (there are many Russians with Asian features) or he could be from a different East Asian country.
Guys, she didn't say here that the US blames Russia for the bombing of Hiroshima. This is not a correct translation. She said that after a long time, Japan began to believe that the USSR was the cause of this bombing. You were brazenly deceived in the translation, it is completely incorrect in some moments.
Watching this made me think of how the sentence "When one run out of arguments one resort to violence" also holds true to countries & geopolitics. Interesting topics & opinions as always Daniil.
You are correct: "One of the most senior US officials in the Pacific has refused to rule out military action against Solomon Islands if it were to allow China to establish a military base there, saying that the security deal between the countries presented “potential regional security implications” for the US and other allies. 26 abr 2022"
The US never wait until it has ran out of arguments before resorting to violence. Violence is the only thing they think of all day! They killed more Americans than all the world combined.
There were no arguments anyway. From very beginning, as in past, so now, the West only wants colonies, with cheap labor and resources. They don't need allies because they are possible competitors. Looking at arrogance of west, I don't mind if this world burns to ground.
7:47 Valentina, 70: "What right do they have!?" Great question! :) They don't have right shelling, but do russians HAVE right shelling Ukrainian cities? Russian logic - we DO have right to do bad things to the whole world, but the whole world DON'T have right to do bad things to us!
Character in a French play: "Cet animal est très méchant. Quand on l'attaque, il se defend!" ["This animal is very vicious. When you attack it, it defends itself!"]
If we’re talking about hiroshima and nagasaki can we please also talk about the massacre of katyn and the invasion of poland by russia? Or how the soviets were friends with the nazis and helped them defeating france in 1940? Remember the hitler-stalin pact!
@@willthecat3861 Stalin attempted to justify the occupation of poland, etc, by saying he knew Hitler was going to attack the east so by pretending to be his ally he occupied some of the east and protected it from Hitler. That might almost sound logical and sensical, if it was not for the massacres you mention, the fact Stalin in fact used the occasion to exterminate all the people with military experience, teachers, intelligentsia, politicians, anyone able to organise any kind of resistance against the nazis or against himself, in the countries he occupied and 'saved' from the nazis. This too I suppose although never mentioned in USSR was probably attempted to be portrayed or justified as self defense against capitalists anti communist or fascist partisan traitors - although they were too many for that to make sense.
On 6 and 9 August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively. The two aerial bombings together killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict. The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia prisoners of war carried out by the Soviet Union. Almost the same numbers. Did you mean The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? (which gave soviets some time to prepare for a war with a country with an ABSOLUTLY OPPOSITE IDEOLOGY) Should study history a little more. Ussr reconqured polish lands, annexed by Poland during Polish-Soviet War. But it's useless to enlight you, cause your mind is a dark side of the Moon.
@@d_initial Your answer does not make a reasonable and fair comparison. Katyn massacre was only one among very many the soviet union conducted. In every country they occupied, they deported and killed very large number of civilians. They deported millions to Siberia; of those a large proportion died, already a much greater number than civilian deaths in japan. 22 000 is nothing, you have to add the civilians deaths in general the soviet union caused - in the second world war alone these are millions. The excuse it gave them time to prepare for war does not explain why they killed all military officers and any people able to organise a resistance in all the countries they occupied, countries they knew nazis wanted to attack. The truth is at the time, soviets thought genocide of populations was justified if it could help them enforce what they pretended to be a utopy, and was in fact a totalitarian state. There is no reason to excuse the disregard for human life of the totalitarian soviet union.
Throughout 3000 years of history, China fought foreign invaders alone, never had allies. We did get help from the U.S. against Japan during WWII. But we won't forget after 1937 when Japan invaded China, U.S. merchants continued to sell oil and steel to Japan to help them kill Chinese. We also won't forget those "allies" who helped build Japan into an empire the first place.
Thank you very much for your videos, the questions are always respectful, interesting, smartly focused on one subject and the answers offer a large variety of what the Russian people could think. I really appreciate getting to know the closest-to-real point of vue of your people!
I like it when the interviewees come out with some bizarre fiction that they have been taught, like the USA blaming Russia for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Here is the West's version of events. 26th July, USA, UK and China issued Potsdam Declaration (surrender or be destroyed). Japan didn't surrender. Aug 6th, USA bombed Hiroshima. Aug 9th, Soviet Union invaded Manchuria and USA bombed Nagasaki. Aug 15th, Hirohito announced surrender. What is Russia's version, I wonder?
The questions are provocative as always. It is especially unpleasant to listen to ignorant zoomers. People who choose USA, as if they did not understand that the current level of relations is the level of the Cold War. As Emperor Alexander 3 said, Russia has only two allies: its army and navy.

@@oldbloke135 What the girl in the video said was that someone interviewed young Japanese, and many young Japanese blamed Russia for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This is the result of Japan's long-term vassalage to the United States and the propaganda and education it has received.

In Japan, it is not customary to say that America bombed their country with nuclear bombs. Young Japanese, I have seen interviews, often do not know who did it and some believe that Russia did it.
"We've always had a fairly positive relationship with China, except for the conflict on Damansky Island" I guess she didn't learn that island is part of Outer Manchuria, which the Russians forcefully took from China in the 19th century. That's over one million square km worth of land, now giving Russia access to the Sea of Japan. I'm sure China would love to take that back. Russia is the only European country that still holds historically Chinese territories.
Imperial china ceded those lands without a fight because their control was nominal. There were no chinese subjects to bring under Russian rule. Few chinese habour irredentist thoughts wrt to russia and nobody claims those lands as you fantasize.
Well, Russia in one way or another will lose the Amur region including vladivostok. It will remain a russian city by name only. Maybe - prior to 2022 I never thought of that - it will be for the best. Amur and Siberia under chinese influence and indirect rulle could thrive. If Russians can t develop the eastern regions possibly the Chinese can?
@@formikulo nor did any Russians ever live there until they stole it from china , china had official territorial claims in the UN for most of Siberia until the mid 2000's If you think that the Chinese will provide one pence of assistance without reclaiming that lost territory , likely you haven't spent much time in china , their stolen Siberian land is more of a hot button issue to average Chinese than Taiwan

Good to see a diverse spectrum of answers, but I am indeed surprised by the percentage of people expressing favorable views toward EU & US even at this historical moment, with ongoing war happening. Not sure how many Americans will express their favorable views toward USSR back in Vietnam. Many Chinese do not really have much clue on historical events on Russia-China relationship, and sadly it seems the Russian side wasn't much better on that neither. Both side were only educated on events where they got screwed by the other side, but clueless on events where they screwed the other side. Victims of propaganda barking at each other all the time.

Given that US used this as display of power. Why would US accuse USSR for developing nuclear bomb, cutting edge at that time and most impressive scientific and military achievement. Ridiculous.
USSR did not declare war and invade until two days AFTER the first bomb was dropped. The US was pushing USSR to get in the war. They probably think that it was because the US had to drop the nukes because USSR was getting into the war.

Nostalgia for past eras is the inevitable part of humans growing old. In the US, we're seeing a huge surge in the belief that things were better in the 80s, for example.

I see it as a problem when to the crimes committed by the Russian government you simply say 'these are our traditions, we are like a big family and a common house '. So is that enough to stop you from having a conscience and listen to your inner voice? If your father goes to the neighbour, kicks his door in, kills the wife and children, destroys the flat all you say is 'these are our traditions ' ? Well in that case people do mind and certainly would not want to come to your country. You killed 40.000 in Grosny, devastated the city, just like Aleppo, Mariupol and Kharkiv, invaded Georgia and Ukraine, have Journalists and Politicians in huge numbers killed, kidnapped children, imprisoned civilians with different opinions and keep telling yourself everyone else is evil and against you? You are bullies! Let me tell you, as a German, you will deal for generations with the consequences of you, the people, supporting crime and war by your country and making wrong excuses for it. And you deserve it.
I love watching your channel because it is such an incredibly strong illustration of the power of propaganda. Over the last year, I've heard a continuous change in the comments and tenor of the Russian people. The older people especially (whom I assume are not really reading any external news via VPN), have said increasingly crazy things and forget the logic of the early invasion (Ukrainian Nazis). It reminds me to consider news from multiple sources, and those outside of those of my own preferences. If you don't hear multiple viewpoints, you only reinforce your own beliefs, which may be false. I know we are all susceptible to these manipulations. I hope they, and we, can see the truth behind the propaganda.
"If you don't hear multiple viewpoints, you only reinforce your own beliefs, which may be false" Good point, something happened in the UK a couple of years ago which surprised part of the population - because they only read/watched/heard views like theirs.
Preach. Watching these videos are so eye opening to how powerful media is. I've started watching EU news stations live here on YT because American political reporting is so polarizing, superficial and not very deep from both sides of the political spectrum. And as a Moderate/Centrist/Independent voter I just can't stand US Journalism anymore. It's interesting to hear about other news and stories going on around the world that just doesn't get any airtime in the US.
Countries do not have friends or enemies. They have interests. Russia is entitled to pursue its interests, but what they cannot do is go around invading countries unless there is a reason like an attack or something (which is not the case)
I'm amazed how educated these people are, regardless of their ending viewpoint. I can confidently say that it would be hard for your average American to name another world leader than the U.S. president.
It's hard for you're average Russian to do that too. For every semi-intelligent interview in this video, there was probably10 that went absolutely nowhere. Most humans are on a 'need to know' basis.
Saying that the US tried to blame Russia for the atom bombs in Japan is not very intelligent. The US came straight out and said "Those were our bombs, and there's more where that came from". Then the war ended.
You can't call them educated because they just hear a lot of news and in that news they hear all of the names of politicians it doesn't make them intelligent at all.

@@evbuzzi6749 USA can't expand NATO in any way, so that's a weird angle. Countries can voluntarily seek to join NATO, and it doesn't take a lot of research to understand why all the countries in Europe have joined NATO - not to attack Russia, but to protect themselves FROM an attack BY Russia. If Russians would just ditch their shitty, corrupt dictatorship, Europe and the US would gladly work with a normal, reasonable, democratic Russia.
@@evbuzzi6749 "USA wants nato on russian borders" shows you clearly do not understand what NATO is. No country has ever been forced to join NATO, regardless of what the USA wants. Every single member of NATO joined it of their own free will, with the acceptance of every other NATO member (not only the USA). They are also free to leave whenever they want. This can easily be seen now with Turkey alone blocking Sweden from joining NATO, while the USA has clearly stated that they want Sweden to join. Since every single NATO member joined NATO of their own free will, and could also leave if they wanted to, the question you should be asking is rather: Why do these Russian neighbours want to be a part of NATO? I find the answer to that question obvious considering the history, and what is happening in Ukraine right now. It feels very strange that you should blame the USA for accepting these countries (also accepted by every single other member of NATO) into NATO when they themselves were asking to join. If you want to blame anyone for these countries being a part of NATO you should blame the countries themselves, that actively sought to join NATO.
Yeah Sinno-Soviet relations have always been great, unless you count that time the Soviets were preparing to wipe China off the face of the earth with a nuclear strike. Then the US president got on the phone and threatened a nuclear response if the Soviets acted. Other than that, stellar relations.
As a Chinese I understand and appreciate the certain neutrallity opinions. Be self-dependent, that probably is the best common goal China and Ruassia could agree on and work together.
as a russian roots guy (and IT guy who worked with chineese and indian developers over 15 years) - i would say that we will never trust the people from india and china - the culture distance is to wide
The answers many, many Russians give (not all!) remind me of my sister. Always thinking about what other people do to her - or can do of favours for her; but she never ever thinks about what she does to people or what favours she could offer. Russians (Sorry for generalizing, I know not all Russians are like that!) speak a lot about what other countries do to them, never vice versa.
...and how it is in the US today. We are accusing Putin to be a "war criminal" because of "kidnapping children in Ukraine", but throwing napalm bombs on children is no war crime?!
Давай объективно у России есть геополитические влияние сравнимое хоть с одной страной хотя бы из списка стран Европы? Вот и я думаю что нет. Окей идёт война и она явно не в пользу России в данный момент. Но при чем тут фраза что Россия делает или может делать для других стран? Ман, мы бензоколонка, которой управляют выходцы из КГБ, либеральной части КГБ, свергшей прошлое правительство СССР. Но это все те же ставленники из советского союза, в русском есть хорошее пренебрежительное слово для описания этого монстра 70 лет разьедавшего Россию. (Sovok) так вот ты споришь и возводишь в абсолют мнение каких то людей на видео, как я. Который являются русскими и могут ошибаться или быть наивными или очень последовательными в своих политических убеждениях. Вот только мы не имеем власти, никто из того кого ты видишь. Система с советского союза сложилась так что социальные институты стёрты, а институты силового подавления работают как часы. У нас могут посадить ту часть людей, включая автора, которых не стоит опрашивать. Потому что их слова в нашем законодательстве будут нарушать 2 а то и 3 статьи. И сулит это не 2-3 годами тюрьмы, понимаешь? Ты понимаешь? 15 лет, для примера. Ты можешь ответить про свержение режима, про что угодно. Но во первых обсуждения таких вещей это статья. а во вторых ты можешь загуглить сколько в России в разных итерациях было революций за 100 и за 200 лет ?! Все было только хуже, исторические части в составе империи и позже sovka отделившиеся от России в ещё большей нищите и бесправности. Но по своим новым локальным проблемам. И не считая стран из востока Европы, которые не имели отношения к России и имели свои институты во все времена. Ты можешь это узнать и наконец поумнеть, перестать смотреть на Россию как эксперт, будучи хорошо накормленым парнишкой с розовыми очками( в плане с наивным представлением реальности)
@@HahaMate FWIW i did translate your long post: Objectively, does Russia have geopolitical influence comparable to at least one country on the list of European countries? I don't think so either. Okay, there is a war going on, and it is clearly not in Russia's favor at the moment. But what does this have to do with what Russia does or can do for other countries? Man, we're a gas station run by people from the KGB, the liberal part of the KGB that overthrew the last Soviet government. But they are still the same proxies from the Soviet Union, there is a good derogatory word in Russian to describe this monster that ate up Russia for 70 years. (Sovok) so you argue and absolutize the opinion of some people in a video, like me. Who are Russians and may be wrong or naive or very consistent in their political beliefs. Except we don't have the power, none of the people you see. The system since the Soviet Union has been such that social institutions have been wiped out, and the institutions of suppression work like clockwork. We can lock up that part of the people, including the author, who should not be questioned. Because their words in our law will violate 2 or even 3 articles. And that promises not 2 or 3 years in prison, you know? Do you understand? 15 years, for example. You can answer about overthrowing the regime, about anything. But first of all discussing such things is an article. and secondly you can google how many revolutions Russia has had in different iterations over 100 and 200 years?! Everything was only worse, the historical parts within the empire and later sovka separated from Russia in even greater poverty and powerlessness. But on their new local problems. And not counting the countries from the east of Europe, which had nothing to do with Russia and had their own institutions at all times. You can learn this and finally wise up, stop looking at Russia as an expert, being a well-fed kid with rose-colored glasses( in terms of having a naive view of reality) Translated with DeepL
Let’s get this straight: China’s purpose is to develop. Not war, not to beat other countries, just develop. And if you want to develop properly as a big country, you need to kind of stay neutral. Because the moment you pick a side, you limited yourself. That’s exactly what Europe is facing right now, they want to develop, they want to cooperate with China, but they’re “on America’s side”. Even a trip to China by Macron will be seen as "controversial".
It's difficult for most in the west (perhaps less so in Europe) to truly understand the level of propaganda that the Average Russian citizen is/has been exposed to, and it seems to be a fact that very few people in either the west or Russia have bothered to learn history and are aware of their biases or how they were formed.
But u don't live in Russia? Lol, propaganda it's American u don't even live in Russia and you talk about it based on information from US propaganda sources (OH, respectable magazines and websites).
Yeah I agree... It's insane that these people... After knowing the corruption and brainwashing that went on during the Soviet times.... Are not able to put things together in their minds today and realize the TV is constantly lying....
It's really sad 😪 they don't realise we wish very hard to be friends of russia, but they don't understand how Putin's actions are destroying any atempt for peace or friendship. He printed so hard that the west wants to take russia in their head that they think any aggression from Russia is just a response against west actions...
Not difficult at all. With all the free speech, and free press, and free social media, in the US polls show that 40% of Americans are convinced that president Biden stole the elections. And they believe it because of the propaganda of conservative media like Fox News. I have seen interviews of Trump supporters: they are as deluded as Putin’s supporters.
They forgot the American Civil War. The Russian Pacific fleet wintered in San Francisco and the Russians provided the Union with updates on European artillery updates.
Somehow most people on both sides have missed the fact that for the past 200 years , china and Russia were mortal enemies supporting opposing armies during the cold war Beyond that china had territorial claims against Russia for most of Siberia until 2017 including Vladivostok If you actually spend time in china , average Chinese are furious about this. They vent more about losing Siberia and Mongolia than about Taiwan which plays big in the west. It is because in china everyone knows and believes that Taiwan is a part of china , because Taiwan never declared independence and no major countries recognize or claim it , this is not a big concern for normal people debated about , where as you will hear them moan and groan and claim that everything from the Pacific to lake Baikal is Chinese
@@knyghtryder3599 I knew China and USSR had an on again-off again relationship, but I didn't know Chinese claims from the Pacific to Lake Baikal. Right now I see it both as an alliance of convenience and perhaps an attempt by China to add the biggest spoke yet to its Belt and Road program. It would be ironic if Putin set out to rebuild the Soviet Empire and ended up turning Russia into a Chinese client state.
@@knyghtryder3599 The pair of Russia and China right now resemble the Soviet Union and Germany before the WW2. I wouldn't be surprised to see WW3 in the near future, where the USA would be ironically helping Russia to fend off the Chinese invasion.
Fascinating how russkies don't seem to remember they were in Afghanistan FIRST, or that they were in Syria as well, using chemical weapons, no less. And...uhh...darn them for Hiroshima?
That girl with the guy under umbrella... Alternate reality.. what is she smoking? It's Russia who is constantly attacking neighbors so US doesn't support that andshe thinks US blames Russia for atom bomb on Hiroshima? Nothing she says makes sense
I am really sad for some youth in Russia, there are too ignorant , the elders are more concious , cooperation is about give and take, but they always selfishly expect others only to give .In addition, Russia and China are neighbors that can never move away, so peace and cooperation are of greatest benefits for both sides. China obtains the market, Russia obtains the commodities that are sanctioned by the West and obtains foreign exchange, which is beneficial to both sides. and China has been stable in its policy towards Russia without back-and-forth. as for what is the common interest of China and Russia, is to deal with the pressure of the United States. China didn't agree sanction Russia like other countries , that has become a stain for many countries to criticize, what did russia do for China? why should China be asked to confront the mainstream world for Russia ? China relies heavily on the EU and the US for its scientific and technological sources and economic trade. Don't forget that it was Russia that hurt China more, when the Tsarist Russia stole more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land from China. something you might don't know, The price of oil and gas that China buys from Russia is also more expensive than that of the Middle East. Don't they know the collapse of the Soviet Union is because of the oppression of the United States in the Cold War, and the predicament after is also made by the United States, If you can not distinguish between the enemy and friends , there will be no wonder Russia has no friends, even the Central Asian Soviet Union countries to betray, because that hurts the heart of the friends.
0:30 and at 50 seconds are both right. China is not true ally of Russia. No loyalty between the two unlike the collective west. it's a relationship of pure convenience where one side will drop the other at the moment the other side isn't beneficial to their short term goals.
@clemathieu JT There are 26 photos of the SS-750 Russian navy ship, which carries a small submarine that is designed to carry out underwater operations. A Danish patrol boat detected a Russian vessel near the Nord Stream gas pipelines four days before they were sabotaged in multiple blasts, according to media reports. The defense command confirmed it had 26 images of the SS-750 Russian navy ship, which carries a small submarine that is designed to carry out underwater operations, photographed from a Danish patrol boat in the vicinity of the pipelines on September 22, 2022, local newspaper Dagbladet Information reported Thursday.
It's nice to see one guy remembered we started having decent relations in the 90s. It was a time of cooperation and many deals were signed in this time period. Putin even inquired about becoming a NATO member around 2000.
Well it's like you want to have a friend but they just won't take their meds and now they're attacking one of your other friends. It's seriously mind-blowing how some Russians can believe that the West was after them... It's all our fault for thinking Russia would drop the anti-western sentiment. There is still obviously a lot of resentment. Haters gonna hate.
The last Russian girl who speaks Chinese, she was saying she is majoring Asian economy and politics in university. That’s why she knows things. These are the kind of people that will become a diplomat someday.
Russian govt has been trying to integrate to Europe, since the fall of USSR & that is on record. After the fall of USSR, Russia asked for help from US & western Europe to create Russian Constitution & help with the economy, but Russia was flat out rejected, accdg. to Jeffrey Sachs who were there. US & western Europe helped others tho like Poland.With the declassification of US records, we now know that US has viewed Russia as their enemy even when Russia was weak. The plan has been always to expand NATO to ex-soviet states, create chaos within & surrounding Russia, & divide Russia into many smaller countries, which for me are all existential threat to their country, Russia. China is not Russia's natural ally, but they do not have a choice but to have good relationship with them, as they share similar problems. West is Russia's natural ally, but they never want Russia anyway. It is a mistake in US foreign policy, esp with the emergence of upcoming Superpower, China. This video baffles me that they seem to think that US is better than China, when declassified docs & history of actions of US has been to dismantle Russia. lol
On a positive note, I find impressive how good most russians are at expressing themselves, even talking to a camera. Specially the younger ones, I really like it
Omg the difference of insights between the young and the older generations is so vast! Some young people have absolutely no idea about the world! Respect for the elders they know!
It’s ironic that in past videos a good proportion of the Russian interviewees said they were apolitical whereas in this video people are very eager to express their opinions on international relations. Just avoid any topic related to putin and then russians become very politically charged….
When has the US ever blamed the USSR for the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? And what would be the purpose?

It happened AFTER the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. What do they teach you in school? Yes, I am kidding. 🙂
What is the woman at 1:20 blabbing on about? She says the US blames USSR/Russia for the atomic bombs dropped in Japan? As an American, I've never heard this. And said US-Russian relations have never been positive except WW2 but the 1990's things were relatively positive. There was hope that Russia would turn into a normal country but the brutal way Russia fought in Chechnya gave the west and US less hope in Russia. It was under Putin the relations soured.
Do not lie. USA were quite in good relationships with Eltsin who started war in Chechnya. But with much worse with Putin who finished that war
That poor guy she was with looked like he had to hear her talk a lot...
@@kastus77 Yeltsin, right? Is it Eltsin in Russian? The mid 90's fight in Chechyna was already seen as troubling in the west but they hoped things would change. The 1999 fighting lead by Putin was brutal and that really concerned the US and west. Putin did basically what he had done in Ukraine and Syria which is target civilians and punish them.
@@Stephen85 she doesn't stop yapping ffs!
I heard several times that Japan was about to surrender anyway, and the bombs had 2 goals : end the war before USSR turn against Japan and take control of the island, and the bomb will show how powerful the US are so the USSR will not turn against them.

На самом деле, это довольно часто встречающийся "аргумент".

@Max შემიწყალე cite your source please
@Max შემიწყალე even if that is true, that doesn't mean the US blamed anyone. Do you know what blame means?
She never said that US blamed Russia about Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing. She said "В японии выстроили такие отошения что виновата pоссия". Translation is "In Japan, they built such attitudes that Russia is to blame". I saw a video where Japanese people were asked about who bombed them and majority said Russia. The question remains - why people think that.
I would imagine the Japanese still remembered defeating Russia in the Russo-Japanese War and other hostilities with Russia, which is a close geographic neighbor, and so in many ways it was an almost natural, albeit incorrect, conclusion that it was the Russians as they had ample historical reason to be vindictive towards the Japanese people.
Because they were not taught properly in school and ignorant about it, and that’s by design.
Stalin invaded Manchuria the same day the 2nd a-bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. So the Japanese people probably felt they were stabbed in the back and blame USSR for them losing WWII, not dropping the a-bomb.
@@mintheman7 Ah yes, stabing in the back someone from Axis, who already invaded USSR
@@iMost067 Japan never invaded USSR in WWII. Stalin didn't want to fight a 2-front war and Japan didn't have enough resources to fight USSR and US at the same time, so they signed a neutrality agreement. Of course Stalin also signed a neutrality agreement with Hitler.

@Max შემიწყალე even if that had anything to do with it (which I disagree with because Japan remained independent) it is sure as heck not ‘blaming’ the Soviet Union.
"how can they attack us?" Some people are detached from reality to assume that they can wage war, and not be hit back by those same people. They don't have their own feet attached to the ground.

"No severe censorship" Are you joking? You can go to prison for 8 years or more. That isn't censorship?
No, seriously, you're allowed to support the government as much as you want. It's like the old saying about Ford "you can choose any color you want as long as it's black", here it's "you can express any opinion you want as long as it matches the government view"
@Wonder Nine... yes, I had to replay that bit about censorship, as I felt I must have misheard or that they were talking about somewhere else.
Never mind, here, in Russia, it is normal been in parallel reality and do not see naked facts. It is country of absurd, but be careful- that is why we get victory against Napoleon(he did not expect such unprecedented stupidity from the enemy; our tactics then do not lend themselves to any logical explanation at all).
I think he was trying to be ironic.
He just meant Russian censorship is not as severe as Chinese one. It is like saying Russia is more democratic than China.
These Russian people understand the relationship with China better than I would have expected.
We can no longer return to cooperation with Europe and the United States without losing sovereignty, so China remains the only option.
how's that? you can't compare education in Europe, including russia and older soviet countries, with any other in the world apart from countries like Singapore, Hong-Kong, etc. In the Americas, besides Canada, the rest is really bad, and unfortunately, Africa is still the wealthier continent with the poorer educated (as we wish, of course).

I would rather the question being asked is of “good partners” rather than “allies”. Ally typically means you are all in on most if not all geopol-topics and must come to aid without regards for self interests, or the interests are mostly aligned. You can enjoy very close relationships and help each other economically, militarily internationally, but you should not lose your own national identities. China is a explicitly stated Non-Ally country. So I don’t think they are the ally that you are looking for. Nor should you expect allies in that strict “Ally”definition nowadays. US could be partners but they would prefer to keep larger countries subjugated unless you are small and could never pose any threats or challenges to their hegemony, or they will fuck you over like they are doing with Russia and China today. After all, “自力更生 (work hard yourselves)but with lots of good friends”should every countries motto.

As a Chinese I think Russia and China are not allies but we need each other’s support in many situations. China and Russia have maintained very positive relationship, economically and politically, for a long time with mutual respect. Sometimes I think this relationship is even better and more stable and sustainable than allies. No allies can last forever but a good neighbor is possible.

Russia is now a vassal state to China, the junior partner in their new relationship, a source of raw materials for their industries.

true. China has absolutely NO interest in building up the russian industry, all it wants is cheap oil and gas and they will just flood the russian market with their own products, as it is way cheaper for them to produce in China. So not having western investors in the russian economy will lead to russia being the new Iran. Only ressources, nothing else. Oh, of course some nukes.

I visited Russia about 10 years ago on a tour. It was eye opening as Russia was painted as the evil for so many years by the Western media.
Anyway my tour guide was a lady in her thirty. She was sad to see Russia stopped the space industry which was world leading due to economy, and had to share the knowledge with US for the money. People were looking for quick money instead of building up their competitive edge. China has probably done better in this regard.
@@freefree1219 Ideology talks aside, I think that's why some Russians like Putin say that the downfall of the USSR was a huge geopolitical catastrophe. Russia basically sold their entire country for cheap and that cost them decades of their future.

And blame it on the west, the cynical cycle of delusions never end with Russia.

My dad had a saying that when people are hell bent on destroying their lives it’s best to let them “live their paycheck”. If you try to rescue these people from their personal choices or try change their world views before they experience the natural consequences of those choices and beliefs, it’s not going to work. They will resent you for trying to help, make you responsible for for their lot in life and then embrace those who are trying to exploit them.
If people in a culture value the mirage of strength and stability of authoritarianism, you can’t rescue them from the natural consequences of that belief. You can only wish them well and leave them to decide when they’ve finally had enough of the corruption and oppression that authoritarianism brings.
Whether we help them or not, Ukraine has spent the last 13 months demonstrating that they will lay down their lives to fight for their sovereignty, freedom and self governance. It couldn’t be more clear that helping Ukraine, by giving them a leg up in this fight, is resources well spent because Ukraine is ready to change. Sadly Russia is probably best left to it’s own devices. Prematurely rescuing them again, like we did in the 90’s, will only perpetuate the problem for both them and for the rest of the world.
If they believe that they can go it alone in the world or that they want to trust and partner with China, we should just let them.
I couldn't agree more. I've thought about this every time that I've heard an American say that the Russian people just don't understand what's happening. I'm certainly not saying that all Russians are bad, but most of them support what is happening. This is what they want.
Yeah I don't have much hope for Russia taking a democratic turn... They are in love with strong men who do nothing but exploit them.... They have proven time and time again they do not value or understand politics. At least many of the intelligent Russians were able to leave and I wish the best for that group...

It is possible that China will not absorb Russia in the sense of annexation, because the risk is too great for China (social, economic, Russia is too depraved and rotten to the very roots). These are two very different autocratic systems based on different values. But China will certainly colonize and fully pacify Russia, so that it will no longer play any role, at most in the style of North Korea. In addition, China also started to care about good relations with Ukraine (due to its resources and location), which (surprise!) will not turn into a Russian colony and a large Russian concentration camp, as both China and Russia imagined a year ago.

Guys, she didn't say here that the US blames Russia for the bombing of Hiroshima. This is not a correct translation. She said that after a long time, Japan began to believe that the USSR was the cause of this bombing. You were brazenly deceived in the translation, it is completely incorrect in some moments.
Watching this made me think of how the sentence "When one run out of arguments one resort to violence" also holds true to countries & geopolitics. Interesting topics & opinions as always Daniil.
You are correct:
"One of the most senior US officials in the Pacific has refused to rule out military action against Solomon Islands if it were to allow China to establish a military base there, saying that the security deal between the countries presented “potential regional security implications” for the US and other allies. 26 abr 2022"
And the US is the most violent, militaristic country on earth
The US never wait until it has ran out of arguments before resorting to violence. Violence is the only thing they think of all day! They killed more Americans than all the world combined.
There were no arguments anyway. From very beginning, as in past, so now, the West only wants colonies, with cheap labor and resources. They don't need allies because they are possible competitors. Looking at arrogance of west, I don't mind if this world burns to ground.
you are right, all the countries that fought germany in ww2 did so only because they ran out of arguments

If we’re talking about hiroshima and nagasaki can we please also talk about the massacre of katyn and the invasion of poland by russia? Or how the soviets were friends with the nazis and helped them defeating france in 1940? Remember the hitler-stalin pact!
Ya. They've got no clue about that. They never heard about it.... and, wouldn't believe it if they did.
Western Belorussia not Poland
@@willthecat3861 Stalin attempted to justify the occupation of poland, etc, by saying he knew Hitler was going to attack the east so by pretending to be his ally he occupied some of the east and protected it from Hitler. That might almost sound logical and sensical, if it was not for the massacres you mention, the fact Stalin in fact used the occasion to exterminate all the people with military experience, teachers, intelligentsia, politicians, anyone able to organise any kind of resistance against the nazis or against himself, in the countries he occupied and 'saved' from the nazis. This too I suppose although never mentioned in USSR was probably attempted to be portrayed or justified as self defense against capitalists anti communist or fascist partisan traitors - although they were too many for that to make sense.
On 6 and 9 August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively. The two aerial bombings together killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict.
The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia prisoners of war carried out by the Soviet Union.
Almost the same numbers.
Did you mean The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? (which gave soviets some time to prepare for a war with a country with an ABSOLUTLY OPPOSITE IDEOLOGY) Should study history a little more.
Ussr reconqured polish lands, annexed by Poland during Polish-Soviet War.
But it's useless to enlight you, cause your mind is a dark side of the Moon.
@@d_initial Your answer does not make a reasonable and fair comparison. Katyn massacre was only one among very many the soviet union conducted. In every country they occupied, they deported and killed very large number of civilians. They deported millions to Siberia; of those a large proportion died, already a much greater number than civilian deaths in japan. 22 000 is nothing, you have to add the civilians deaths in general the soviet union caused - in the second world war alone these are millions.
The excuse it gave them time to prepare for war does not explain why they killed all military officers and any people able to organise a resistance in all the countries they occupied, countries they knew nazis wanted to attack. The truth is at the time, soviets thought genocide of populations was justified if it could help them enforce what they pretended to be a utopy, and was in fact a totalitarian state. There is no reason to excuse the disregard for human life of the totalitarian soviet union.
Throughout 3000 years of history, China fought foreign invaders alone, never had allies. We did get help from the U.S. against Japan during WWII. But we won't forget after 1937 when Japan invaded China, U.S. merchants continued to sell oil and steel to Japan to help them kill Chinese. We also won't forget those "allies" who helped build Japan into an empire the first place.
Thank you very much for your videos, the questions are always respectful, interesting, smartly focused on one subject and the answers offer a large variety of what the Russian people could think. I really appreciate getting to know the closest-to-real point of vue of your people!
I like it when the interviewees come out with some bizarre fiction that they have been taught, like the USA blaming Russia for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Here is the West's version of events. 26th July, USA, UK and China issued Potsdam Declaration (surrender or be destroyed). Japan didn't surrender. Aug 6th, USA bombed Hiroshima. Aug 9th, Soviet Union invaded Manchuria and USA bombed Nagasaki. Aug 15th, Hirohito announced surrender. What is Russia's version, I wonder?

There girl at 1:04 seems really well informed. I wonder what she thinks of Putin.
I don’t know the channel and I don’t know how much cherry picking went on in the process of making this video. What I find impressive is how much these young people seems to care and to be informed about what’s going on. You can’t find that level of interest in Italy, where I live, even in older generations (of course they are much more involved in geopolitical events than we are, but still…)
Also, quite brave for them to discuss politics so openly, I truly hope they will not incur in any problem because of it!
I can only guess they are deliberately targeting young people close to universities OR make a huge amount of interviews as I kinda doubt every Russian is that interested in politics.
Well if Italy was rolling its tanks across the border into Switzerland, the probably everyone of all ages in Italy would be informed of the situation.
It’s not hard to be interested in geopolitics while your country is in the middle of the war which has no benefits to anyone besides the current government.
@@CoIdHeatI, as a Russian, will tell you that I am as actively interested in politics as all my classmates and friends, I think 80% of Russians are interested in politics, and I was shocked when I found out that my friend from Austria knows practically nothing about politics, I thought Europe is also interested in this

@@EcoZen24I dont care what the traditions are in your country, but I do if you think it gives you the right to invade a neighbouring country! I see it as a problem when to the crimes committed by the Russian government you simply say 'these are our traditions, we are like a big family and a common house '. So is that enough to stop you from having a conscience and listen to your inner voice? If your father goes to the neighbour, kicks his door in, kills the wife and children, destroys the flat all you say is 'these are our traditions ' ? Well in that case people do mind and certainly would not want to come to your country. You killed 40.000 in Grosny, devastated the city, just like Aleppo, Mariupol and Kharkiv, invaded Georgia and Ukraine, have Journalists and Politicians in huge numbers killed, kidnapped children, imprisoned civilians with different opinions and keep telling yourself everyone else is evil and against you? You are bullies! Let me tell you, as a German, you will deal for generations with the consequences of you, the people, supporting crime and war by your country and making wrong excuses for it. And you deserve it.
I love watching your channel because it is such an incredibly strong illustration of the power of propaganda. Over the last year, I've heard a continuous change in the comments and tenor of the Russian people. The older people especially (whom I assume are not really reading any external news via VPN), have said increasingly crazy things and forget the logic of the early invasion (Ukrainian Nazis). It reminds me to consider news from multiple sources, and those outside of those of my own preferences. If you don't hear multiple viewpoints, you only reinforce your own beliefs, which may be false. I know we are all susceptible to these manipulations.
I hope they, and we, can see the truth behind the propaganda.
"If you don't hear multiple viewpoints, you only reinforce your own beliefs, which may be false" Good point, something happened in the UK a couple of years ago which surprised part of the population - because they only read/watched/heard views like theirs.
Preach. Watching these videos are so eye opening to how powerful media is. I've started watching EU news stations live here on YT because American political reporting is so polarizing, superficial and not very deep from both sides of the political spectrum. And as a Moderate/Centrist/Independent voter I just can't stand US Journalism anymore. It's interesting to hear about other news and stories going on around the world that just doesn't get any airtime in the US.
It's an echo chamber of idiocy.
Great comment John Wiser, 👌👌

Saying that the US tried to blame Russia for the atom bombs in Japan is not very intelligent. The US came straight out and said "Those were our bombs, and there's more where that came from". Then the war ended.

yes, USA wants nato on russian borders because they love russia and want stay as close as possible...
@@evbuzzi6749 USA can't expand NATO in any way, so that's a weird angle.
Countries can voluntarily seek to join NATO, and it doesn't take a lot of research to understand why all the countries in Europe have joined NATO - not to attack Russia, but to protect themselves FROM an attack BY Russia.
If Russians would just ditch their shitty, corrupt dictatorship, Europe and the US would gladly work with a normal, reasonable, democratic Russia.
@@evbuzzi6749 "USA wants nato on russian borders" shows you clearly do not understand what NATO is. No country has ever been forced to join NATO, regardless of what the USA wants. Every single member of NATO joined it of their own free will, with the acceptance of every other NATO member (not only the USA). They are also free to leave whenever they want. This can easily be seen now with Turkey alone blocking Sweden from joining NATO, while the USA has clearly stated that they want Sweden to join. Since every single NATO member joined NATO of their own free will, and could also leave if they wanted to, the question you should be asking is rather: Why do these Russian neighbours want to be a part of NATO? I find the answer to that question obvious considering the history, and what is happening in Ukraine right now.
It feels very strange that you should blame the USA for accepting these countries (also accepted by every single other member of NATO) into NATO when they themselves were asking to join. If you want to blame anyone for these countries being a part of NATO you should blame the countries themselves, that actively sought to join NATO.
Rather than China
Yeah Sinno-Soviet relations have always been great, unless you count that time the Soviets were preparing to wipe China off the face of the earth with a nuclear strike. Then the US president got on the phone and threatened a nuclear response if the Soviets acted. Other than that, stellar relations.

Давай объективно у России есть геополитические влияние сравнимое хоть с одной страной хотя бы из списка стран Европы? Вот и я думаю что нет. Окей идёт война и она явно не в пользу России в данный момент. Но при чем тут фраза что Россия делает или может делать для других стран? Ман, мы бензоколонка, которой управляют выходцы из КГБ, либеральной части КГБ, свергшей прошлое правительство СССР. Но это все те же ставленники из советского союза, в русском есть хорошее пренебрежительное слово для описания этого монстра 70 лет разьедавшего Россию. (Sovok) так вот ты споришь и возводишь в абсолют мнение каких то людей на видео, как я. Который являются русскими и могут ошибаться или быть наивными или очень последовательными в своих политических убеждениях. Вот только мы не имеем власти, никто из того кого ты видишь. Система с советского союза сложилась так что социальные институты стёрты, а институты силового подавления работают как часы. У нас могут посадить ту часть людей, включая автора, которых не стоит опрашивать. Потому что их слова в нашем законодательстве будут нарушать 2 а то и 3 статьи. И сулит это не 2-3 годами тюрьмы, понимаешь? Ты понимаешь? 15 лет, для примера. Ты можешь ответить про свержение режима, про что угодно. Но во первых обсуждения таких вещей это статья. а во вторых ты можешь загуглить сколько в России в разных итерациях было революций за 100 и за 200 лет ?! Все было только хуже, исторические части в составе империи и позже sovka отделившиеся от России в ещё большей нищите и бесправности. Но по своим новым локальным проблемам. И не считая стран из востока Европы, которые не имели отношения к России и имели свои институты во все времена. Ты можешь это узнать и наконец поумнеть, перестать смотреть на Россию как эксперт, будучи хорошо накормленым парнишкой с розовыми очками( в плане с наивным представлением реальности)
Victimization is a general human trait, acknowledging our own faults goes against our nature.
@@HahaMate FWIW i did translate your long post: Objectively, does Russia have geopolitical influence comparable to at least one country on the list of European countries? I don't think so either. Okay, there is a war going on, and it is clearly not in Russia's favor at the moment. But what does this have to do with what Russia does or can do for other countries? Man, we're a gas station run by people from the KGB, the liberal part of the KGB that overthrew the last Soviet government. But they are still the same proxies from the Soviet Union, there is a good derogatory word in Russian to describe this monster that ate up Russia for 70 years. (Sovok) so you argue and absolutize the opinion of some people in a video, like me. Who are Russians and may be wrong or naive or very consistent in their political beliefs. Except we don't have the power, none of the people you see. The system since the Soviet Union has been such that social institutions have been wiped out, and the institutions of suppression work like clockwork. We can lock up that part of the people, including the author, who should not be questioned. Because their words in our law will violate 2 or even 3 articles. And that promises not 2 or 3 years in prison, you know? Do you understand? 15 years, for example. You can answer about overthrowing the regime, about anything. But first of all discussing such things is an article. and secondly you can google how many revolutions Russia has had in different iterations over 100 and 200 years?! Everything was only worse, the historical parts within the empire and later sovka separated from Russia in even greater poverty and powerlessness. But on their new local problems. And not counting the countries from the east of Europe, which had nothing to do with Russia and had their own institutions at all times. You can learn this and finally wise up, stop looking at Russia as an expert, being a well-fed kid with rose-colored glasses( in terms of having a naive view of reality)

Let’s get this straight: China’s purpose is to develop. Not war, not to beat other countries, just develop. And if you want to develop properly as a big country, you need to kind of stay neutral. Because the moment you pick a side, you limited yourself. That’s exactly what Europe is facing right now, they want to develop, they want to cooperate with China, but they’re “on America’s side”. Even a trip to China by Macron will be seen as "controversial".

It's difficult for most in the west (perhaps less so in Europe) to truly understand the level of propaganda that the Average Russian citizen is/has been exposed to, and it seems to be a fact that very few people in either the west or Russia have bothered to learn history and are aware of their biases or how they were formed.

Yeah I agree... It's insane that these people... After knowing the corruption and brainwashing that went on during the Soviet times.... Are not able to put things together in their minds today and realize the TV is constantly lying....
It's really sad 😪 they don't realise we wish very hard to be friends of russia, but they don't understand how Putin's actions are destroying any atempt for peace or friendship. He printed so hard that the west wants to take russia in their head that they think any aggression from Russia is just a response against west actions...
Not difficult at all. With all the free speech, and free press, and free social media, in the US polls show that 40% of Americans are convinced that president Biden stole the elections. And they believe it because of the propaganda of conservative media like Fox News. I have seen interviews of Trump supporters: they are as deluded as Putin’s supporters.
They forgot the American Civil War. The Russian Pacific fleet wintered in San Francisco and the Russians provided the Union with updates on European artillery updates.
Frankly I'm surprised that so many Russians interviewed seemed circumspect or distrustful of China as an ally. Putin has made a great deal of this.
i think its defensive reaction to not agree that dependence on China is too high
If China wanted something bad it would be do it already
Somehow most people on both sides have missed the fact that for the past 200 years , china and Russia were mortal enemies supporting opposing armies during the cold war
Beyond that china had territorial claims against Russia for most of Siberia until 2017 including Vladivostok
If you actually spend time in china , average Chinese are furious about this. They vent more about losing Siberia and Mongolia than about Taiwan which plays big in the west.
It is because in china everyone knows and believes that Taiwan is a part of china , because Taiwan never declared independence and no major countries recognize or claim it , this is not a big concern for normal people debated about , where as you will hear them moan and groan and claim that everything from the Pacific to lake Baikal is Chinese

I am really sad for some youth in Russia, there are too ignorant , the elders are more concious , cooperation is about give and take, but they always selfishly expect others only to give .In addition, Russia and China are neighbors that can never move away, so peace and cooperation are of greatest benefits for both sides. China obtains the market, Russia obtains the commodities that are sanctioned by the West and obtains foreign exchange, which is beneficial to both sides. and China has been stable in its policy towards Russia without back-and-forth. as for what is the common interest of China and Russia, is to deal with the pressure of the United States.
China didn't agree sanction Russia like other countries , that has become a stain for many countries to criticize, what did russia do for China? why should China be asked to confront the mainstream world for Russia ? China relies heavily on the EU and the US for its scientific and technological sources and economic trade. Don't forget that it was Russia that hurt China more, when the Tsarist Russia stole more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land from China. something you might don't know, The price of oil and gas that China buys from Russia is also more expensive than that of the Middle East.
Don't they know the collapse of the Soviet Union is because of the oppression of the United States in the Cold War, and the predicament after is also made by the United States,
If you can not distinguish between the enemy and friends , there will be no wonder Russia has no friends, even the Central Asian Soviet Union countries to betray, because that hurts the heart of the friends.

Russian govt has been trying to integrate to Europe, since the fall of USSR & that is on record. After the fall of USSR, Russia asked for help from US & western Europe to create Russian Constitution & help with the economy, but Russia was flat out rejected, accdg. to Jeffrey Sachs who were there. US & western Europe helped others tho like Poland.With the declassification of US records, we now know that US has viewed Russia as their enemy even when Russia was weak. The plan has been always to expand NATO to ex-soviet states, create chaos within & surrounding Russia, & divide Russia into many smaller countries, which for me are all existential threat to their country, Russia.
China is not Russia's natural ally, but they do not have a choice but to have good relationship with them, as they share similar problems. West is Russia's natural ally, but they never want Russia anyway. It is a mistake in US foreign policy, esp with the emergence of upcoming Superpower, China.
