Me as ex-russian it is rear to hear a detailed and logical explanation of what’s going on right now on post-USSR territory from western perspective and especially US representative and government official, who can very objectively point on the whole issue with russia. Why nobody listen to her, when she presented this speech?
After the recent informational bashing - lies, fraud and disinformation as a mandate in the news from the DT Minions - Americans find it absurd to worry about foreign affairs. Russia & China like this condition. Wars will be eminently more reasonable when viewed from thugs like Putin & Xi. America has just elected its own national liar, felon and thug, who will puff himself up by bending over for Russia and China. This, NO MATTER WHAT DT PROCLAIMS AS TRUTH!
Politico Magazine available free online has an interview with Fiona Hill from roughly October 2024, it is structural & addresses Elon Musk, Trumph, and Putin phoning each other.
If American and European companies hadn't made fortunes readying the Reich, WW2 might not have happened. Look up how Koch industries alone benefitted Hitler, Stalin (later Reagan, Bush and Trump). Then see Ford, IBM, Standard Oil, General Motors contributions to German war machine. Industrial Companies in France, Switzerland, Norway, Belgium, The Netherlands all knowingly aided Germany's militarily and industrial buildup.
I agree with you, however certain countries like the USA and the UK, could send soldiers in as medical helpers, or NATO could let the Government controlled part be part of NATO now.
@evilfingers4302 yep...he single handedly showed to the entire World how useless NATO is and how the entire NATO cannot fight against one Russia. No wonders! NATO has never won anywhere 😆😆😆
@@MrM.Pwho is evil every country do work for self interest and benefits. Have you not seen nato killed Iraq Syria Afghanistan people for self interest.
She's not speaking in public anywhere near enough. Always well worth the effort of pouring a cup of tea and sitting down to listen to. Let's hear more of her please.
Excellent! Keep in mind that this has been recorded before Russia's full invasion of Ukraine. Still highly interesting to listen to . She was spot on. Big Respect for Fiona Hill. Thank you!
She’s from where I was born and grew up.County Durham England uk . Her accent is a northeast of England Durham city Accent, ie a lighter accent version of a Newcastle accent illustrates a Geordie accent. Durham lass born and bred .also where’s George Washington ancestral members of his family yours are from 6 miles away Washington Hall County Durham.ie she’s the Chancellor of the university of Durham honorary.The 3 university of the uk. After Oxford and Cambridge University’s. So don’t think she’s not higher educated and she knows her stuff as we Durham city people say.but she’s an American citizen, so look after her and listen to her .
Great job, it is obvious that Russia violated the UN charter, my question is, why is Russia still a member of the UN, and specially a member of the UN Security Council, with veto power? Enough, the UN needs to suspend Russia membership, and get Russia out of the security council, at a minimum take away the veto privileges.
It is obvious that US violated the UN charter when it invaded Iraq, my question is, why is US still a member of the UN, and specially a member of the UN Security Council, with veto power?
If you are Russian or back Russia this will make you mad and you'll say "nonsense total hogwash" , if you are Ukrainian or back Ukraine this will be a rallying cry of sorts and make say "yes! That's right".... This whole conflict has changed the way I look at war, this should be a decision by Ukraine for Ukraine, not made by the rest of the world , you wanna fight? Then they should be able to, and willing countries should be able to give whatever they want.
Willing countries should mind its own business and help itself first. As if there are no any other problems besides Ukraine/Gaza. No poverty, no student debt, no medical debts. It's not the first war and not the last war. There will be plenty of wars in the world. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
West did unbelievable job with convincing people that Russia is the enemy. Nobody cared about Ukraine before the war kicked off. Most said the most corrupt country in Europe. Wait, I know Ukraine is not in European Union, i say Europe,I know loads of brain rotten people might not understand this,so I explain my self. Is Ukraine in European Union? No. Is Ukraine in nato? No. So simply, ukriane is used to inflict damage to Russia, because they were doing to good. And Ukraine, nato cares as long as there is people.
@@СергейМонин-д7с that apply best for Russia. Alot of poor people, crumbling infrastructure, catastrofical demographic problem with lowest birth rate in 24 years in Russia, no much possibilities people moving out more than inside the country. Men have really low life expectansy even before there war, bad healthcare with Russia list is long thats how good job Putin is doing. Now becose of the war all relationship with neighboring countries ruined, nobody wants to touch ruble, even India tells Russia what currency they should use, revenues from fossil fuels sales lost for decades, interestrate 21% and getting higher as the central bank trying to desparetly to cool the heated economy, already serious problem with shortage on work force. This pointless war is digging deeper whole in Russian economy, future and society. Russia will just be alot smaller in the future, many predictions say its less than 100 million Russians in 2100. Yeah, i m sure that alot of Russian think of your last saying in the future.
The reason why Eastern European countries bordering Russia wanted to join NATO is specifically due to Russia's aggression. Just look at the recent wars against Georgia, Chechnya, Moldova, Ukraine etc... Literally every former Warsaw Pact country begged to join NATO as soon as they could for good reason. Nato is just his excuse what Putin really wants is the natural gas reserves in Ukraine. Which most happen to be in the Donbas and off the coast of the Black Sea.
It'a actually the opposite. Russia became aggressive because NATO (the US) encroached on its borders, threatening it DELIBERATELY. This was planned, there are documents PROVING it, but people like you are brainwashed by US Kool-Aid into believing RUSSIA BAD. We are doomed.
The question is what consequences would the Us and Russia have imposed if they hadn't given up the weapons. We may never have seen the emergence of democracy or Euromaiden if they hadn't. Of course, acquiring weapons _now_ would be viewed differently by the West.
Yes anyone speaking against war and the lying legacy media's narrative which LOVES banging the war drums must derrr be a PUTIN BOT. Dr Hill didn't speak a word of truth, is obviously a lying propagandist for her corrupt donors. How's those WMD's in Iraq going, has the lying MSM found them yet? What about the US ship sunken in the Gulf of Tonkin which never happened yet started the Vietnam war. Or what about the sophisticated terrorist tunnels in Afghanistan? nope. Makes NO DIFFERENCE how many times the US gov do this, people like you fall for it EVERY TIME. TAIWAN'S NEXT you going to fall for that one and call everyone a "Chinese bot"
Fiona Hill would make a great representative of the US on the international stage. She is incredibly competent and knowledgeable about eastern Europe. Her 2022 analysis of Putin was spot-on. This is who should be a presidential advisor.
Da ,you been living in a hole man ...she is a classic colonial EU type....just like the Nazi who thought they could take what they like...game over for the EU expansion....

Funnier thing is that you're making the bots seem like they're existential. The intelligence is truly shining everytime someone mentions the bots in comments..
No one is calling it nonsense buddy, Russian bots are celebrating the imminent collapse of the former state of Ukraine because its supporters were too stupid to realize that its army got decimated and it is not able to defend itself. The map put out by Ukraine itself shows Russia controls 20% of it. Now go back to sleep
@@fishythicklips Do you have any idea what the meaning of the word coup is? The Ukrainians were not going to accept the Russian bullshit of manipulating their government and the Ukriainian people sent Kremlin a clear message. They wanted to look west for their future and if their leader had carried out what he promised to do and take them into the EU then he might, just might still be in power in Ukraine today. He lied, he allowed Russia to dictatce to him the terms and he sold his people and his principles out. The barbarism came from the rulling party in Ukraine and was encouraged by the Kremlin.
@@ИгорьСуратов-с1ц No NATO nation has attacked Russia since its birth in the late 40's - Give me one example of when that happened. Russia on the other hand has repeatedly invaded/attacked/interfered in the governance of just about all of its neighbours. Far more dangerous to have a border with Russia than it is to have a border with a NATO nation. In fact if any country has had a border with a NATO nation the first thing it did after getting rid of the Russian oppressors was to apply to become a part of NATO. Wake up fool!

Coming from a western country who actually Nuked Japan, Killed African leaders, Ran multiple coups, invading many nations for their resources, Killing many opposition leaders including their own president JF Kennedy, attempting to Kill trump. Trying to contain and suppress all countries to be under their thumb, you have the self smug righteousness to call someone else evil. You people are deranged tyrants unfortunately. If only you analyse all the things you do, Putin will look like an angel in your eyes. But you think the world is all about your Hegemony. Your kingdoms are collapsing and you are just crying foul for all your own evil. You have a Monroe doctrine that no one can have influence near your borders, but you violate the agreement not to expand the puppet Nato, and you are the good guys with all your fake FBI movies. By now with the US elections result, you know no one believes all your BS anymore
@@AllMagasGoToGitmo You must be confusing me with the neocons and Hillarybots who lied us into such things as the Iraq War; or into the NATO Libya War, making the Orwellian claim that the War Powers Act wasn't being violated because bombing Libya didn't constitute "hostilities"; which dishonestly read the text of the UN resolution upside down (just as neocons had done to support torture and other war crimes prior), to pursue a NATO war on false pretexts of preventing non-existent preparations for genocide (which same people are okay with in places like their ally Israel, also guilty of aggressive wars and anbexations etc); another NATO war based on Big Lies which even Obama admitted was his worst mistake as President, that turned into a "shitshow," as that Big Lie NATO war brought about such things as a return of Black slave markets in Libya, continued large mass drownings of Black Africans in the Med as the lying and racist NATO countries of Europe preferred to see such humans be enslaved and killed and drowned than to gain refuge in their countries; the further lies of Hillary and her supporters covering up how a US ambassador was killed in Benghazi at the hands of a resurgent al Qaeda there on the orders of Zawahiri, and so forth. You stop posting garbage. Time and time again, it was only the Ukraine and the US that voted to okay the glorification of Nazis, and the central role of Ukrainian Banderist Nazis has been clear and undebiable from the time of their so-called "Revolution of Dignity" (aka US supported anti-democratic insurrection and coup d'etat.) And answer the question: has the military of Finland stopped officially using swastikas yet?
Agreed. That was a detailed credible assessment of Putin's history of 'control' over what were once member countries of the failed USSR. She could have simply stated Putin's goal since 1999 has been to resurrect the failed USSR. Putin invaded Ukraine knowing full well when it did become a NATO member country it would be impossible for him to include Ukraine in his 'New USSR'.
@@vishitokinny6927 Never met the Guy, I do have a personal interest. For many years I have been following his actions in all 15 countries that were once republics of the failed USSR. I can assure you all Ms Hill stated in this presentation is correct. If you do your own research into Putin's actions and influence since 1999 you too will find much more evidence, that's evidence not propaganda. Write down dates of ALL his military actions, assassinations, installations of puppet governments even financing and arming of separatists to maintain 'control' of what were the15 republics. You should get a better understanding of Putin and his ultimate goal.
@@rossevans1774 I have. And 99% of what she said nothing but innuendos. Sakhashvili in jail for the havoc he wrecked in Georgia - must be Putin who's responsible. That's not facts, it's a typical West's intel analysis of "highly likely". She forgot to mention Afghan's bounties and microwaves.
Yet another very insightful and quite excellent lecture, Ms. Fiona Hill really is one of the foremost experts on the subject matter. Those that do not know already are highly advised to pay close attention to this and the various other pieces of work by Ms. Hill‘s.
I question when exactly this presentation was created. As others commenting have noted, other than references indicating Putin’s domestic political situation was being considered from a 2024 pre-election stance, much of this evaluation seemed to be extrordinarily relevant to ongoing geopolitical issues and perspectives. Dr. Fiona Hill should be recognized for her brilliance in evaluating the complex geopolitical landscape as it relates to Putin's short and long term objectives and motivations and ultimately his actions and their impact, both then and now.
why o why do they even ask that question - land grab pure and very simple - take something for nothing - remove the inhabitants - install your own - it's been going on for millennia - sheesh
Valery Zaluzhnyi former commander of the Ukrainian army: "I personally believe that the reason for what is happening in Ukraine today is the logical consequences of the reluctance of a collective measure, which first of all declares its democratic values, these are the logical consequences of the reluctance of a collective measure to influence the global security system..." Video: In conversation with Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK in Chattam House
The crisis was indeed manufactured, but not by Putin. The West promised at the end of the Cold War that NATO would not expand eastward, and yet that is exactly what happened, before Putin even came to power. Curious how this basic fact is ignored. Ukraine then becomes a NATO country in all but name, armed to the teeth with one of the largest armies in Europe, and Putin is just supposed to be okay with this? What would we say if Russia was funding the training and the equipment of the Mexican Army? What if they argued they were simply guaranteeing Mexican independence with these moves? We would rightly deride the argument as ridiculous. That army would clearly be aimed at us. How is the U.S. support of Ukraine halfway across the world any different? Rules for thee, but not for me? Parroting establishment talking points does not make you the smartest person in the room, it proves you a puppet of more powerful men.
A small remark: Poo-tin invaded in Ukraine in 2014. NATO expansion wasn't the reason pOO-tin/kirill invaded. It was to keep Ukraine from turning west, joining the EU. Also, a medieval war to unite the slavs, though this has no basis in historical terms, which pOO-tin has little understanding. And, this was a land and resource grab.

Russia and Putin have a position on the world stage it doesn’t deserve. We must see the economic, technological and military “power” of Russia in perspective. Russia is indeed a huge country in square km, but only has (a declining) 144 million inhabitants (Mexico 128 million, Japan 123 million, Indonesia 270 million). This is about 30% of USA or Eurozone. The GDP of Russia however is only 4% of the GDP of the Eurozone + USA, this is equal to the GDP of the small countries Belgium + Netherlands + Luxembourg. And less than the GDP of the state of California. Relatively (per capita) the GDP of Russia is very low. Beside that the economy of Russia has signs of a 3th world economy. Half of the income is coming from oil & gas. Based on this, Russia isn’t a world power. And for sure, it isn’t a economic power. This is the reason they can’t build up and maintain a big army. The army they have is far beyond normal proportions in relation to their GDP. This hurts their budgets and prosperity permanently. In this perspective, Russia is a mouse with a huge superiority complex and dangerous megalomaniac dreams. It will lead to a downfall.
You're only talking about surface level nonsense. The ego just wants to blah blah blah a lot, in order to get some kind of self-confirmation. Once you pop your ego, you'll be able to dive deeper into the world construct, where you'll realize - nothing is as simple as it seems.
You're comparing raw GDP numbers, without taking into account exchange rates. If the average monthly rent in California is $2,800 that does not mean the rent in Russia is also $2,800/mo. Moreover, most of the GDP are services, such as law firms, accounting, consulting, insurance and so on. The example with Belgium/Netherlands/Luxemburg is irrelevant. Can you imagine Belgium under 10,000 sanctions fighting a war against 50 economies and not collapsing? Or can you imagine Luxemburg single-handedly saves its friend Bashar al-Assad from losing a war? Though I agree that Indonesia is a powerful country, but it's neutral for the most part. They are trying to keep status quo and not choose any sides.
This is the most ridiculous analysis of the Russian ecomony one can find! 😂😂 Seriously??!! Is this the reason why Russia by itself has been able to fight against the entire NATO++ for the last 3 years and to see the economy growth at the same time?! OK then..🥴🤪
@СергейМонин-д7с Sergei, there are so many really dumb people.. I bet they all study at some western universities 😂😂 and learn how to compare apples to oranges.
What BUSINESS is it of Russia's, what happens in Ukraine?? Would the U.S. invade Canada because of a perceived "threat" to Anglophones in Quebec?? Russia's people parrot the phrase "we are not interested in politics!" Then WHY are you so interested in Ukrainian politics??
Yes they would,and rightly so, but it's only people who can think, and see outside of the western NARRATIVE MSM, that know America has destroyed countries that they thought were a threat to American security thousands of miles,and would do the same to Canada or any country that posed a REAL military threat to America, and if you believe anything else , you obviously go with the western narrative, just brainwashed by anti russian propaganda,to the extent that your comparing the Russia\ukraine conflict with a self thought up comparison that America wouldn't treat canada as a threat if it was in the same volatile situation, you obviously don't understand the meaning of comparison.
@@wamingo In the west, all the great leaders are labeled as "dictators" or "autocratic" .. You just have to, perhaps, invert a few pieces, in order to construct the puzzle correctly.
Well, after observing this since 2014 I can assure you most of her ramble is imaginary. Its made up mostly. Half of it has no bearing on the war, the other half is more due to domestic political issues in Russia and zero to do with Ukraine. Shes shielding the U.S. and the failed foreign policy it pursued. And it IS a proxy war thats been ongoing for 20 years. And having known dozens of people from Ukraine I can assure you most are ethnic Russians and almost none spoke anything other than Russian. Including Zelensky who is the president. So just that should tell you something.
Because Putin has nothing in his life ..He has never really known life ...only that which he thinks will fill his empty soul ..as history has shown us ..but we never learn ? Money , power, fame , control. ends up in a graveyard ..sometimes with a gravestone ..? So what power , control have you now..
What for? lying to you. The Ukrainian crisis was manufactured in 2014 when the US and EU backed a Neo-nationalist coup in Ukraine. Instantly followed by the US and NATO FLOODING Ukraine with BILLIONS and BILLIONS in weapons and integrating themselves into the Ukrainian military and intelligence. ALMOST instantly followed by the Ukrainian military BOMBING the Dombass into submission killing 14,000 Donbass civilians because they voted for independence in the 2014 Donbass status referendum and because NATO wanted to drag Russia into a war. Which the US also did in Afghanistan hoping to repeat the outcome which led to the collapse of the Soviet Union, mass Russian poverty and the mass privatisation of Russian public assets. Because the corporate greddy's want Russia's hydrocarbon resources as they do Iraq's, Syria's, Iran's, Libya's, Venezuela's etc. The only thing these grifters care about is YOUR tax paid money for MORE WEAPONS AND MORE WAR to help further enrich their corrupt donors. Which means LESS money for social programs like schools and hospitals.
Because no one wants her to be except the most disliked government we currently have. It's not all her fault since she grew up very, very poor (even worse than a lot of the immigrants). Now, she is being rewarded excessively it is hard to not take the neocon money, chancellorship of Durham Uni and be appointed to a position by the current government. Career girl.
If Ukraine is forced to give up land the war might be stalled but it won’t be over. If you allow Russia to keep any territory you encourage them to do this again and again!
Maybe Russia will be encouraged to invade again, but not necessarily. They didn't invade re-invade Finland for example after the Winter War. Plus, any ceasefire gives Ukraine an advantage as they will use the time to build huge networks of trenches, bunkers and fields of landmines.
@@michaelasamoah2390 The combination of a failed war abroad and a brittle, strained system at home is increasing the likelihood of some sort of implosion inside Russia.
@@Jagonath Russian historians explain their own history as a pendulum. Rusian empire kept expanding to the east into China until they we beaten by Japanase. Then they kept expading south west until get beaten by Ottoman empire. Then expanded to north west until get beaten by Sweden.

This country seams to be the weakest neighbor of Russia. They might not try to re-invade Ukraine, they might focus on other former members of USSR.

Fiona managed to handle the Congressional hearing previously with some direct contradiction of some of the members who spoke, word for word, Russian talking points. That was embarrassing to see.
How would England like a Chinese base in Ireland or America with a Russian base in Grenada. I guess we know the answer to that. Ignorance is bliss or evil?
There's a big difference. You refer to Russia and China. They're fundamentally authoritarian regimes with expansionist aims. Constantly talking about themselves in imperial terms and telling us which lands they believe belong to them that they're going to take by force. There's more to it than that obviously. The USA makes no such claims. We aren't trying to annex territory into the USA. Having a US base means security and safety AGAINST Russia or China or North Korea, etc. That's the difference. Russia and China's allies are not democracies. What does that tell you? Meanwhile, the USAs allies consist of the freest, happiest, most democratic nations in the world. Is it any wonder that free, democratic, HAPPY nations would want the USA's help protecting against a nation like Russia who, especially after 2022 has been proven for the 20th time or more that it is aggressive and wants to invade other nations? There are US bases in other nations because those nations' governments wanted them there, not because the USA are there by force or coercion. The USA's bases around the world are reverberations from the Cold War in which free democratic nations wanted security AGAINST the tyranny of the Soviet Union as most of Warsaw Pact Europe had to endure. Ask Romania or Poland or Latvia or Lithuania or Estonia if they'd like a US military base in their country.
The US and it's military are the greatest example of a war criminal state. Read some of your own history...They've been responsible for most of the human suffering, via war and conflict, since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Freedom and Democracy...my ass@@wowomah6194
Are you talking about your own ignorance? For example: - Could Hitler allow the closure of the Danzig corridor?! And what can you say, does this change anything in the essence of the Hitler regime and its goals?
Russia did not excists befor the moscowitz city state. Kyiv city state had allreadu excisted hundreds of years before. Violent Tzar empire stole by violence the wast landsmasses Russia made USSR upon. Putin like to see stolen land from that time rise in USSR shape, just without Communism that was all that USSR was about. Russia has no rigths, Putin is not really a president. It is all lies and crimes. Russia shall do as they are told.
'this is not a proxy conflict...this is an act of post-colonial revisionism' why can't it be both? When George W Bush pushed for inviting Ukraine to join NATO in 2008, both Merkel and Hollande resisted it, believing it would be seen as an act of aggression on the part of the West, and why wouldn't he believe that? As Noam Chomsky points out, it would be like China inviting Mexico to join a military alliance, imagine how that would go down in the White House? But of course we don't have to imagine that, we only have to think back to the Cuban missile crisis that brought us to the brink of nuclear war, and amazingly we're right back now at the brink once again, absolutely insane!
Until 2008 Russia itself was in the act of joining NATO and sitting in on all the meetings, only without voting rights. They pulled out because they didn't want to meet the requirements that every other country has to do. They thought they had an exceptional right because of the size of the country. When admission on those grounds were denied they pulled out and attacked Georgia. Ukraine should have been given art. 5 rights the moment that the Budapest Memorandum was signed in which ALL parties guaranteed the sovereign territory of Ukraine, including Russia. And by which Ukraine gave up the right to possess nuclear weapons. The reasons for not abiding by that memorandum have never occurred. Furthermore as earlier said ALL parties guaranteed the sovereign rights of Ukrainian territory, which means that the US and UK have every right to intervene with boots on the ground. They have been cautious with exercising that right, but that can change if needed.
Ukraine was already supposed to be protected by GB, USA and Russia when they gave up their nukes. Ukraine is purely a landgrab and has nothing at all to do with Russia's security. Russia is the only one invading and taking over countries.
@@telebubba5527 yes, that appears to be correct, but as far as I can see a series of actions coming from the US also soured the relationship and weren't necessary in my view...'In early 2008, U.S. President George W. Bush vowed full support for admitting Georgia and Ukraine into NATO, to the opposition of Russia. The Russian Government claimed plans to expand NATO to Ukraine and Georgia may negatively affect European security. Likewise, Russians are mostly strongly opposed to any eastward expansion of NATO. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev stated in 2008 that "no country would be happy about a military bloc to which it did not belong approaching its borders". Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin warned that any incorporation of Ukraine into NATO would cause a "deep crisis" in Russia-Ukraine relations and also negatively affect Russia's relations with the West'
@@lauriethompson740 You are only confirming their vile nature and plans not to recognise Ukrainian sovereignty. Putin himself already in 1999 stated that the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact was a mistake that needed to be corrected. That has been the basis of all of their actions ever since. The approach towards NATO was a fake and was only meant to blow up NATO from within. The 'crisis' was in fact already there from the start and it doesn't matter really that others only confirmed it. NATO does not expand and it is only a defensive organisation. It has never, ever acted in a negative way towards a. the Soviet Union and b. towards Russia. Putin has always had an imperialistic 'dream' from the start. All former Warsaw Pact, Eastern European countries recognise that. Which is the sole reason for them wanting to belong to NATO. In fact NATO was living on it's last legs and nearing dissolution itself, until Putin invaded NATO for the second time. He is the one responsible for its reinvigoration and for two other countries, who had remained neutral, to join NATO. The argument about having a large military bloc right next to Russia is a void argument, as if they would be able to wipe Ukraine of the face of the earth, they would be the ones creeping up to NATO. Only with ill means. The arguments you are presenting are mute and don't hold for even one second. They only expose the vile, aggressive nature of Russia and nothing else.
The short of this (and certainly not to take away from the depth and scope of Dr.Hill's analysis which for me begs the need for her and people like her to have their analysis become mandatory and repeat viewing by the wests leadership so that they could repeat it vebatim on demand with a three-dimensional understanding of what she is saying) is simple. Our own internal inablities to properly administer foreign policy successfully is one of if not the greatest momentum-building tools the enemy has at it's diposal...for which they require little if any effort on their behalf to fuel. It is in fact a gift from the west to putin. It is also in fact our in-fighting and our lack of genuine resolve to address what we in the west view as "potential crisis" rather than the genuine and very real CURRENT crisis that has allowed even the current situation with Ukraine to be viewed as singular in its genesis and without tether by not only these administrations but, most importantly in democratic society...the public to whom they administer rather than the multi-point attack that it really is. There is MUCH work to be done and the truncated schedule we face does not favor us...at all.
Most of you understand what the Monroe Doctrine represents, for those that don’t should search for it and you will quickly understand that if any nation that imposes itself militarily in America’s sphere is considered an existential threat to American security and will therefore be dealt with through military action if need be. The Cuba crisis in early 1960’s is a perfect example of this. Even though America had already placed nukes in Turkey, the Soviet Union was not permitted to do the same in Cuba. Putin told western leadership starting in 2008 that nato would not be permitted to set up shop in Ukraine and Georgia for the exact same reason that the Soviet Union was not permitted to set up shop in Cuba. Rather than recognizing Putin’s position and backing away from their plans they double down every time Putin said no. Even the current cia director warned this would likely result in conflict. Any talk that does not address this is disingenuous and is to deflect blame. This conflict could have been avoided as recently as April 2022 but Boris Johnson convinced Ukraine to turn down an agreement for peace and neutrality and instead they chose war. This is fact. You decide if the narrative fits the facts.

No word of world order in case of Libya,Sirya?Not to mention Iraq,where intervention had direct impact on Europe when people starting to flee due to chaos wich leads to rise of ISIS.Where was your world law&order was back then?
1. Libya was ruled by a megalomaniacal dictator who was routinely testing the waters with aggression. His people rebelled, and we assisted. Simple as that. 2. Syria is similar. Assad is a murderous dictator like his father before him. We helped certain rebel factions who wanted to fight against Assad and we also of course helped fight against ISIS. 3. Iraq is an EASY one. Saddam Hussein was a murderous dictator who subscribed to the Baathist fascist party. He invaded Iran, he gassed the Kurds, he murdered politicians, journalists, artists and frankly anyone who spoke out against him or disagreed with him. He jailed those he didn't murder. Then he invaded Kuwait and claimed it was now part of Iraq. On 9/11 when Al Qaeda agents destroyed the World Trade Center in NYC, what did Saddam do? Why he celebrated and made it an Iraqi holiday. That motherfucker had it coming big time and what did many Iraqis do? There are literal videos of people celebrating in the street and coming up to American soldiers to talk and smile and laugh. UNLIKE in Ukraine. Funny isn't it? Iraq was a clusterfuck but it wasn't what you are pretending it was. Plenty of Iraqis liked American troops and America did in fact create democracy in Iraq. Iraqis are more free now than they ever have been and can vote for their future. Democracy wasn't going to come from Saddam, in case you think so. ua-cam.com/video/fZfFP5I5gQw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/h3gFUhGJp04/v-deo.html
Is not the "special operation"'s objectives to 1) go ahead and allow the two warring eastern states (2022) to cede and 2) have Ukraine be a non-nuclearized buffer zone in the interest of peace and stability? They stated this many times prior to their army entering and leaving from the north border.
Who still remembers Kosovo and Putin's warning he might use it as a precedent in future? NATO committed a lot of crimes, yet always tries to shift the blame.

Humanity is like a single body, with each nation as an organ. When one organ malfunctions-like the Russian Federation attacking Ukraine-the whole body feels the impact. Ukraine becomes the suffering organ, bearing the brunt of the damage, while the malfunctioning organ disrupts the harmony and balance of the entire system. Just as a body’s immune system mobilizes to heal and protect its affected parts, the global community must respond. This response may include offering support to Ukraine, isolating the source of harm, and addressing the underlying issues causing the dysfunction. The goal is to restore balance, heal the suffering organ, and reintegrate the malfunctioning organ into the healthy functioning of the whole. For humanity to thrive, its 'organs' must work together in harmony. Every nation has a role to play, and the health of the global body depends on the collective effort to address conflicts, prevent harm, and build a system where such malfunctions are less likely to occur.
@@PimvP I agree with your analogy of a single body as ideal, but because we „biological humans „ have some problems in be-coming psychological humans too, the reality differs greatly/the ideal is marginalized respectively. When it comes to the „unprovoked „ invasion by Russia I disagree entirely with „your „ statement (which is a repetition of the narrative dominating in the West) Publicly available information from certain think tanks shining light that this is about defending of ethnic Russians from the shelling by their brothers (organized by the West/to the last Ukrainian as some psychological monsters say), but no public debate about this, instead denying of proofs and gag orders.
Me as ex-russian it is rear to hear a detailed and logical explanation of what’s going on right now on post-USSR territory from western perspective and especially US representative and government official, who can very objectively point on the whole issue with russia. Why nobody listen to her, when she presented this speech?

I'm liking Fiona more and more. She makes a lot of sense.
If Hitler had been stopped in Czechoslovakia in 1938, WW2 might not have happened. It’s the same with Ukraine 🇺🇦 now.
If American and European companies hadn't made fortunes readying the Reich, WW2 might not have happened. Look up how Koch industries alone benefitted Hitler, Stalin (later Reagan, Bush and Trump). Then see Ford, IBM, Standard Oil, General Motors contributions to German war machine. Industrial Companies in France, Switzerland, Norway, Belgium, The Netherlands all knowingly aided Germany's militarily and industrial buildup.
I remember Bohumin in 1938. I was 11 and free. Semper Fidelis.
I agree with you, however certain countries like the USA and the UK, could send soldiers in as medical helpers, or NATO could let the Government controlled part be part of NATO now.

Great job, it is obvious that Russia violated the UN charter, my question is, why is Russia still a member of the UN, and specially a member of the UN Security Council, with veto power? Enough, the UN needs to suspend Russia membership, and get Russia out of the security council, at a minimum take away the veto privileges.

If you are Russian or back Russia this will make you mad and you'll say "nonsense total hogwash" , if you are Ukrainian or back Ukraine this will be a rallying cry of sorts and make say "yes! That's right".... This whole conflict has changed the way I look at war, this should be a decision by Ukraine for Ukraine, not made by the rest of the world , you wanna fight? Then they should be able to, and willing countries should be able to give whatever they want.
Willing countries should mind its own business and help itself first. As if there are no any other problems besides Ukraine/Gaza. No poverty, no student debt, no medical debts. It's not the first war and not the last war. There will be plenty of wars in the world. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
West did unbelievable job with convincing people that Russia is the enemy. Nobody cared about Ukraine before the war kicked off. Most said the most corrupt country in Europe. Wait, I know Ukraine is not in European Union, i say Europe,I know loads of brain rotten people might not understand this,so I explain my self. Is Ukraine in European Union? No. Is Ukraine in nato? No. So simply, ukriane is used to inflict damage to Russia, because they were doing to good. And Ukraine, nato cares as long as there is people.

The reason why Eastern European countries bordering Russia wanted to join NATO is specifically due to Russia's aggression. Just look at the recent wars against Georgia, Chechnya, Moldova, Ukraine etc... Literally every former Warsaw Pact country begged to join NATO as soon as they could for good reason.

The crisis was indeed manufactured, but not by Putin. The West promised at the end of the Cold War that NATO would not expand eastward, and yet that is exactly what happened, before Putin even came to power. Curious how this basic fact is ignored. Ukraine then becomes a NATO country in all but name, armed to the teeth with one of the largest armies in Europe, and Putin is just supposed to be okay with this? What would we say if Russia was funding the training and the equipment of the Mexican Army? What if they argued they were simply guaranteeing Mexican independence with these moves? We would rightly deride the argument as ridiculous. That army would clearly be aimed at us. How is the U.S. support of Ukraine halfway across the world any different? Rules for thee, but not for me?

She didn't mention Trump's weakening of US commitments to NATO, but that seems to have played in as well.
Russia and Putin have a position on the world stage it doesn’t deserve. We must see the economic, technological and military “power” of Russia in perspective. Russia is indeed a huge country in square km, but only has (a declining) 144 million inhabitants (Mexico 128 million, Japan 123 million, Indonesia 270 million). This is about 30% of USA or Eurozone. The GDP of Russia however is only 4% of the GDP of the Eurozone + USA, this is equal to the GDP of the small countries Belgium + Netherlands + Luxembourg. And less than the GDP of the state of California. Relatively (per capita) the GDP of Russia is very low. Beside that the economy of Russia has signs of a 3th world economy. Half of the income is coming from oil & gas. Based on this, Russia isn’t a world power. And for sure, it isn’t a economic power. This is the reason they can’t build up and maintain a big army. The army they have is far beyond normal proportions in relation to their GDP. This hurts their budgets and prosperity permanently. In this perspective, Russia is a mouse with a huge superiority complex and dangerous megalomaniac dreams. It will lead to a downfall.
You're only talking about surface level nonsense. The ego just wants to blah blah blah a lot, in order to get some kind of self-confirmation. Once you pop your ego, you'll be able to dive deeper into the world construct, where you'll realize - nothing is as simple as it seems.
Do you deserve?
You're comparing raw GDP numbers, without taking into account exchange rates. If the average monthly rent in California is $2,800 that does not mean the rent in Russia is also $2,800/mo. Moreover, most of the GDP are services, such as law firms, accounting, consulting, insurance and so on. The example with Belgium/Netherlands/Luxemburg is irrelevant. Can you imagine Belgium under 10,000 sanctions fighting a war against 50 economies and not collapsing? Or can you imagine Luxemburg single-handedly saves its friend Bashar al-Assad from losing a war? Though I agree that Indonesia is a powerful country, but it's neutral for the most part. They are trying to keep status quo and not choose any sides.
This is the most ridiculous analysis of the Russian ecomony one can find! 😂😂 Seriously??!! Is this the reason why Russia by itself has been able to fight against the entire NATO++ for the last 3 years and to see the economy growth at the same time?! OK then..🥴🤪

Yes they would,and rightly so, but it's only people who can think, and see outside of the western NARRATIVE MSM, that know America has destroyed countries that they thought were a threat to American security thousands of miles,and would do the same to Canada or any country that posed a REAL military threat to America, and if you believe anything else , you obviously go with the western narrative, just brainwashed by anti russian propaganda,to the extent that your comparing the Russia\ukraine conflict with a self thought up comparison that America wouldn't treat canada as a threat if it was in the same volatile situation, you obviously don't understand the meaning of comparison.

Money , power, fame , control. ends up in a graveyard ..sometimes with a gravestone ..? So what power , control have you now..
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love this woman.
Thank you Dr. Hill and Helsinki Commission.
What for? lying to you.
The Ukrainian crisis was manufactured in 2014 when the US and EU backed a Neo-nationalist coup in Ukraine.
Instantly followed by the US and NATO FLOODING Ukraine with BILLIONS and BILLIONS in weapons and integrating themselves into the Ukrainian military and intelligence.
ALMOST instantly followed by the Ukrainian military BOMBING the Dombass into submission killing 14,000 Donbass civilians because they voted for independence in the 2014 Donbass status referendum and because NATO wanted to drag Russia into a war.
Which the US also did in Afghanistan hoping to repeat the outcome which led to the collapse of the Soviet Union, mass Russian poverty and the mass privatisation of Russian public assets.
Because the corporate greddy's want Russia's hydrocarbon resources as they do Iraq's, Syria's, Iran's, Libya's, Venezuela's etc.
The only thing these grifters care about is YOUR tax paid money for MORE WEAPONS AND MORE WAR to help further enrich their corrupt donors.
Which means LESS money for social programs like schools and hospitals.
Thank you for getting this out there
Why I do not see this lady in a Secretary of State at least?
Because no one wants her to be except the most disliked government we currently have. It's not all her fault since she grew up very, very poor (even worse than a lot of the immigrants). Now, she is being rewarded excessively it is hard to not take the neocon money, chancellorship of Durham Uni and be appointed to a position by the current government. Career girl.

Amazing speech! 👏
Nobody took her seriously, and look what happened.

I wish Dr Hill would read a little more slowly. The matter's complex and there's a lot to take in🤞🤔

You can slow down the playback speed in the settings.
Is she related to Ben Shapiro?
Priceless and intriguing as I watch this in 2024. Spot on and a prophecy somehow given what has happened since.
If Ukraine is forced to give up land the war might be stalled but it won’t be over. If you allow Russia to keep any territory you encourage them to do this again and again!
Encourage or discouraged what will you guys do to force russia ?war which you know you will loose
Maybe Russia will be encouraged to invade again, but not necessarily. They didn't invade re-invade Finland for example after the Winter War. Plus, any ceasefire gives Ukraine an advantage as they will use the time to build huge networks of trenches, bunkers and fields of landmines.
@@michaelasamoah2390 russia is evil and cannot overcome Ukraine
@@michaelasamoah2390 The combination of a failed war abroad and a brittle, strained system at home is increasing the likelihood of some sort of implosion inside Russia.
@@Jagonath Russian historians explain their own history as a pendulum. Rusian empire kept expanding to the east into China until they we beaten by Japanase. Then they kept expading south west until get beaten by Ottoman empire. Then expanded to north west until get beaten by Sweden.
For the whole history Russia was expanding in a direction of least resistence. Speaker of russian parlament now openly speaks about invding into Uzbekistan. This country seams to be the weakest neighbor of Russia. They might not try to re-invade Ukraine, they might focus on other former members of USSR.
As I said before...this is Putin's game of RISK on a real world board...and the game continues..who will be the last player still active on the board...?

Fiona managed to handle the Congressional hearing previously with some direct contradiction of some of the members who spoke, word for word, Russian talking points. That was embarrassing to see.
Fiona Hill thank you for keeping a close eye on Putin and your superb
analysis!
It won't do much good, since we will never be members of the neocon clique, only useful idiots to act as canon fodder, donors and supporters.
Excellent ! F.Hill really knows her stuff.

How would England like a Chinese base in Ireland or America with a Russian base in Grenada. I guess we know the answer to that. Ignorance is bliss or evil?
There's a big difference. You refer to Russia and China. They're fundamentally authoritarian regimes with expansionist aims. Constantly talking about themselves in imperial terms and telling us which lands they believe belong to them that they're going to take by force. There's more to it than that obviously. The USA makes no such claims. We aren't trying to annex territory into the USA. Having a US base means security and safety AGAINST Russia or China or North Korea, etc. That's the difference. Russia and China's allies are not democracies. What does that tell you? Meanwhile, the USAs allies consist of the freest, happiest, most democratic nations in the world. Is it any wonder that free, democratic, HAPPY nations would want the USA's help protecting against a nation like Russia who, especially after 2022 has been proven for the 20th time or more that it is aggressive and wants to invade other nations? There are US bases in other nations because those nations' governments wanted them there, not because the USA are there by force or coercion. The USA's bases around the world are reverberations from the Cold War in which free democratic nations wanted security AGAINST the tyranny of the Soviet Union as most of Warsaw Pact Europe had to endure. Ask Romania or Poland or Latvia or Lithuania or Estonia if they'd like a US military base in their country.
The US and it's military are the greatest example of a war criminal state. Read some of your own history...They've been responsible for most of the human suffering, via war and conflict, since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Freedom and Democracy...my ass@@wowomah6194
Are you talking about your own ignorance? For example: - Could Hitler allow the closure of the Danzig corridor?! And what can you say, does this change anything in the essence of the Hitler regime and its goals?
Lame excuse. NATO does NOT have any base in Ukraine.
Russia did not excists befor the moscowitz city state. Kyiv city state had allreadu excisted hundreds of years before. Violent Tzar empire stole by violence the wast landsmasses Russia made USSR upon. Putin like to see stolen land from that time rise in USSR shape, just without Communism that was all that USSR was about. Russia has no rigths, Putin is not really a president. It is all lies and crimes. Russia shall do as they are told.
'this is not a proxy conflict...this is an act of post-colonial revisionism' why can't it be both? When George W Bush pushed for inviting Ukraine to join NATO in 2008, both Merkel and Hollande resisted it, believing it would be seen as an act of aggression on the part of the West, and why wouldn't he believe that? As Noam Chomsky points out, it would be like China inviting Mexico to join a military alliance, imagine how that would go down in the White House? But of course we don't have to imagine that, we only have to think back to the Cuban missile crisis that brought us to the brink of nuclear war, and amazingly we're right back now at the brink once again, absolutely insane!
Until 2008 Russia itself was in the act of joining NATO and sitting in on all the meetings, only without voting rights. They pulled out because they didn't want to meet the requirements that every other country has to do. They thought they had an exceptional right because of the size of the country. When admission on those grounds were denied they pulled out and attacked Georgia.
Ukraine should have been given art. 5 rights the moment that the Budapest Memorandum was signed in which ALL parties guaranteed the sovereign territory of Ukraine, including Russia. And by which Ukraine gave up the right to possess nuclear weapons. The reasons for not abiding by that memorandum have never occurred.
Furthermore as earlier said ALL parties guaranteed the sovereign rights of Ukrainian territory, which means that the US and UK have every right to intervene with boots on the ground. They have been cautious with exercising that right, but that can change if needed.
Ukraine was already supposed to be protected by GB, USA and Russia when they gave up their nukes. Ukraine is purely a landgrab and has nothing at all to do with Russia's security. Russia is the only one invading and taking over countries.
@@telebubba5527 yes, that appears to be correct, but as far as I can see a series of actions coming from the US also soured the relationship and weren't necessary in my view...'In early 2008, U.S. President George W. Bush vowed full support for admitting Georgia and Ukraine into NATO, to the opposition of Russia. The Russian Government claimed plans to expand NATO to Ukraine and Georgia may negatively affect European security. Likewise, Russians are mostly strongly opposed to any eastward expansion of NATO. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev stated in 2008 that "no country would be happy about a military bloc to which it did not belong approaching its borders". Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin warned that any incorporation of Ukraine into NATO would cause a "deep crisis" in Russia-Ukraine relations and also negatively affect Russia's relations with the West'
@@lauriethompson740 You are only confirming their vile nature and plans not to recognise Ukrainian sovereignty.
Putin himself already in 1999 stated that the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact was a mistake that needed to be corrected. That has been the basis of all of their actions ever since. The approach towards NATO was a fake and was only meant to blow up NATO from within. The 'crisis' was in fact already there from the start and it doesn't matter really that others only confirmed it.
NATO does not expand and it is only a defensive organisation. It has never, ever acted in a negative way towards a. the Soviet Union and b. towards Russia. Putin has always had an imperialistic 'dream' from the start. All former Warsaw Pact, Eastern European countries recognise that. Which is the sole reason for them wanting to belong to NATO. In fact NATO was living on it's last legs and nearing dissolution itself, until Putin invaded NATO for the second time. He is the one responsible for its reinvigoration and for two other countries, who had remained neutral, to join NATO. The argument about having a large military bloc right next to Russia is a void argument, as if they would be able to wipe Ukraine of the face of the earth, they would be the ones creeping up to NATO. Only with ill means.
The arguments you are presenting are mute and don't hold for even one second. They only expose the vile, aggressive nature of Russia and nothing else.
I believe that
The short of this (and certainly not to take away from the depth and scope of Dr.Hill's analysis which for me begs the need for her and people like her to have their analysis become mandatory and repeat viewing by the wests leadership so that they could repeat it vebatim on demand with a three-dimensional understanding of what she is saying) is simple. Our own internal inablities to properly administer foreign policy successfully is one of if not the greatest momentum-building tools the enemy has at it's diposal...for which they require little if any effort on their behalf to fuel. It is in fact a gift from the west to putin. It is also in fact our in-fighting and our lack of genuine resolve to address what we in the west view as "potential crisis" rather than the genuine and very real CURRENT crisis that has allowed even the current situation with Ukraine to be viewed as singular in its genesis and without tether by not only these administrations but, most importantly in democratic society...the public to whom they administer rather than the multi-point attack that it really is. There is MUCH work to be done and the truncated schedule we face does not favor us...at all.
Not an inch Eastwards, they said.
He calculated that 1+1=3. The world is flabbergasted over the idiocy.
So Hill would be ok with an enemy on her doorstep.
All she is doing is singing and dancing. No content.
This is an old video, it’s a great video but should have been said straight up.
When magical tricks performer shows you his right hand - look at the left one.
It's not Russia, but Putin, Putin, Putin...
Thank you for speaking truth and for continuous support of Ukraine
❤
That is accurate
Most of you understand what the Monroe Doctrine represents, for those that don’t should search for it and you will quickly understand that if any nation that imposes itself militarily in America’s sphere is considered an existential threat to American security and will therefore be dealt with through military action if need be. The Cuba crisis in early 1960’s is a perfect example of this. Even though America had already placed nukes in Turkey, the Soviet Union was not permitted to do the same in Cuba. Putin told western leadership starting in 2008 that nato would not be permitted to set up shop in Ukraine and Georgia for the exact same reason that the Soviet Union was not permitted to set up shop in Cuba. Rather than recognizing Putin’s position and backing away from their plans they double down every time Putin said no. Even the current cia director warned this would likely result in conflict. Any talk that does not address this is disingenuous and is to deflect blame. This conflict could have been avoided as recently as April 2022 but Boris Johnson convinced Ukraine to turn down an agreement for peace and neutrality and instead they chose war. This is fact. You decide if the narrative fits the facts.
Absolutely correct
Fairly literate & verbose response from an apparent Russian propaganda bot. May we fairly presume this was copied & pasted from yet another bogus YT account that spouts El Putito's cynical opinions as fact?
I would like to see a debate between this lady and Jeffrey Sachs or Oliver Stone or John Meirshhimer
Countries Putin has invaded and attacked this far…
1 Moldova. 1.1 Transnistria (1992-present)
2 Georgia. 2.1 Abkhazia and South Ossetia (2008-present)
3 Ukraine. 3.1 Crimea, parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts (2014-present) 3.2 Invasion of Ukraine (2022-present)
4 Japan. 4.1 Kuril Islands.
Your 4 is wrong. Kuril Islands were taken over during WWII by Stalin not Putin.
What nonsense. These are places where Russia DEFENDED itself from attacks. Right on its border. Unlike some foreign adventures by some other powers.
Japan was bombed by US, not Russia
Our leaders of the world communicating with accusations , not solutions
We are one planet
Respectively communicating with all who is involved and in territory would have been more effective outcome
People are dying because of these conflicts in communication or a lack thereof
Peace works for everyone conflict does not ✌️❤️😀
My love Fiona Hill, great keep advocate for Ukraine rights and freedom.
Donbas has significant natural resources, coal, oil, gas, minerals as well as a population that could be usefully put to work in Siberia freeing up Ukrainian real estate. Thats all you need to know.
God speed.
Well well, history will have to judge what geopolitical power struggle was in play since the break up of USSR leading to the many wars and international interventions leading into the Ukraine war.
No word of world order in case of Libya,Sirya?Not to mention Iraq,where intervention had direct impact on Europe when people starting to flee due to chaos wich leads to rise of ISIS.Where was your world law&order was back then?
1. Libya was ruled by a megalomaniacal dictator who was routinely testing the waters with aggression. His people rebelled, and we assisted. Simple as that.
2. Syria is similar. Assad is a murderous dictator like his father before him. We helped certain rebel factions who wanted to fight against Assad and we also of course helped fight against ISIS.
3. Iraq is an EASY one. Saddam Hussein was a murderous dictator who subscribed to the Baathist fascist party. He invaded Iran, he gassed the Kurds, he murdered politicians, journalists, artists and frankly anyone who spoke out against him or disagreed with him. He jailed those he didn't murder. Then he invaded Kuwait and claimed it was now part of Iraq. On 9/11 when Al Qaeda agents destroyed the World Trade Center in NYC, what did Saddam do? Why he celebrated and made it an Iraqi holiday. That motherfucker had it coming big time and what did many Iraqis do? There are literal videos of people celebrating in the street and coming up to American soldiers to talk and smile and laugh. UNLIKE in Ukraine. Funny isn't it?
Iraq was a clusterfuck but it wasn't what you are pretending it was. Plenty of Iraqis liked American troops and America did in fact create democracy in Iraq. Iraqis are more free now than they ever have been and can vote for their future. Democracy wasn't going to come from Saddam, in case you think so.

@wowomah6194 So why then US dont interveene in "democratic" Saudi Arabia?
Helinski Commission is an "independent commission" of The "United States".
Right....
Every country does work for self interest and benefits not other.
Really ...you think Europe worked for self interest ? Europe worked for self suicide as an American lapdog !
Is not the "special operation"'s objectives to 1) go ahead and allow the two warring eastern states (2022) to cede and 2) have Ukraine be a non-nuclearized buffer zone in the interest of peace and stability? They stated this many times prior to their army entering and leaving from the north border.
As early as 2014, NATO criminally failed to show Putin his limits by re-annexing Crimea!
Well ,they cant,cus NATO never been in real war where u cant call for air support every time when you see some babushka with AK.
Who still remembers Kosovo and Putin's warning he might use it as a precedent in future? NATO committed a lot of crimes, yet always tries to shift the blame.
Great Britain attacked against Crimea already in 1853! Crimea was part of Russia in 1954! Khruchev ilegally moved Crimea part of Ukraine in 1954! Ukraine shot down russian civil passanger air plane! Ukraine blow out gas pipe line to Germany! Western world have supported Ukraine 150 billion dollars military help! Russia their milatary budjet 72 billion dollars! Russia have only 3% of world total military budjet! War mongers shouting we need More weapons!

We must not think that anyone is criminal
Humanity is like a single body, with each nation as an organ. When one organ malfunctions-like the Russian Federation attacking Ukraine-the whole body feels the impact. Ukraine becomes the suffering organ, bearing the brunt of the damage, while the malfunctioning organ disrupts the harmony and balance of the entire system.
Just as a body’s immune system mobilizes to heal and protect its affected parts, the global community must respond. This response may include offering support to Ukraine, isolating the source of harm, and addressing the underlying issues causing the dysfunction. The goal is to restore balance, heal the suffering organ, and reintegrate the malfunctioning organ into the healthy functioning of the whole.
For humanity to thrive, its 'organs' must work together in harmony. Every nation has a role to play, and the health of the global body depends on the collective effort to address conflicts, prevent harm, and build a system where such malfunctions are less likely to occur.
@@PimvP I agree with your analogy of a single body as ideal, but because we „biological humans „ have some problems in be-coming psychological humans too, the reality differs greatly/the ideal is marginalized respectively.
When it comes to the „unprovoked „ invasion by Russia I disagree entirely with „your „ statement (which is a repetition of the narrative dominating in the West)
Publicly available information from certain think tanks shining light that this is about defending of ethnic Russians from the shelling by their brothers (organized by the West/to the last Ukrainian as some psychological monsters say), but no public debate about this, instead denying of proofs and gag orders.
