Yourube keeps deleting my comments. But hope you see this . I commend and respect you for doing this video. I been researching and noticed this also. Even I'm putting press conference he talks as if he wants peace the west is just greedy for power .
Yeltsin was the man responsible for getting Putin set up in power. Inside Russia it is known, at least by some military higher ups and political figures, that the West had basically "neutered" Yeltsin after his failed attempts to bring Russia into the European group of nations. It is said, that in a meeting between Yeltsin and Putin in St. Petersburg where Yeltsin was introducing Putin to many political people as he was backing Putin as his successor, that Yeltsin told Putin that he had tried to help Russia integrate with the rest of europe and the u.s., but he was rejected at every turn and now the u.s. is trying to have it's large corporations and wealthy individuals buy up Russia and tear it up into small pieces for their greed. He said he could no longer do much for Russia as he is seen as a powerless puppet of the West. He supposedly told Putin that Russia needed a strong leader to defend the Motherland and all it's people, try to advocate for peace, but never surrender Russia and it's people. And Putin did succeed, with a term by Medvedev, and then Putin's return. There are many incorrect beliefs about Russia. Russia is an authoritarian state, yet no one gives verifiable proof, just allegations from people who could well have been paid by the the u.s. government to say anything they want. Did you know that newspapers, even State owned ones will print articles by presidential candidates stating that Putin is taking the country down a bad path of ruin for Russia, and yet they are not imprisoned or assassinated as the West would you believe? Did you know that not every bit of legislation Putin brings to the Duma gets passed? Putin is not a dictator, nor is he an authoritarian leader. He doesn't even direct the war in ukraine, he leaves that to his generals, who do of course inform him and consult with him on matters that may bridge into the political realm. Yes, Russia has a centralized government, which I'm told many Russians have believed is right for them because of the huge size of their country. Personally, I believe more money should be spent in outlying cities and villages, but having to deal with constant sanctions under the West's plan to destroy Russia (see Rand report 2019) and take control of it's natural resources and of it's political governance. So, though there is hard evidence of the u.s. involvement in election interference via vote rigging, highjacking of media sources, funding and equipping terrorists groups to intimidate voters, assassinations, etc. all of which the proof has always come to light sooner or later of the horrible actions of the u.s. and some it's large and wealthy donor contributors such as musk, bezos, gates, microsoft, facebook, X, and on and on. Anytime you see the name "National Endowment for Democracy" an u.s. State Dept. run NGO which is the funding vehicle the u.s. government uses to channel money to various other groups, including ISIS cells, in order to keep and step or more between the u.s. and other donors and these horrible groups they find to do their dirty work. Yes, I abhor the anti-LGBTQ+ laws in Russia, as well as China. There is zero justification for these, and even less in China, which is not much of a religious country and therefore can't rely on religion for their anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry and hate. Russia falls back on religion, which in my book is no better excuse than anything China comes up with. And the one thing that bothers me about people that point out all these great things about Russia and China, is no one talks about how the LGBTQ+ community has to live in these countries! WTF guys, these folks have to live their entire lives in a closet!!! Would you like that? Or are you not LGBTQ+ and therefore just don't give a damn about how these people are treated? Are you that damn cold and hateful? I've brought the subject up to local politicians where we have property and where my wife grew up because I thought it was important and yes, technically I could have been fine for it, but these men understood my passion and my brother was gay, until his murder at 34, and so they said personally they didn't really care if people were LGBTQ+ or not and don't really want to find or arrest people. If some people made a big public issue they said they would be forced to act, but they don't really want to get into people's personal business. I thanked them for their attitude and their time, willingness to talk with me. I think they didn't want to arrest me as they had never met an american before, especially that would so loudly be against many of his own country's actions in foreign policy! It was an interesting discussion.
The reason why Russia was never allowed into the EU and NATO is because the military industrial complex which controls The US and NATO needed a Boogeyman to ensure continued high spending on military and defense infrastructure that justifies the existence of NATO. Not only that, much of the recent policy decisions from the US government were designed to provoke Russian aggression in Ukraine.
Exactly!!! by the US blatantly violating the treaties it signed with Russia by encroaching on Russian borders. It's no wonder the US and the west have so many enemies world wide. Not just NATO, even the UN would seize to exist if all wars ended.
As a Russian I can verify everything you said from a perspective of an average citizen. Those who remember the 90s take everything the US says with a bucketful of salt. The irony is that we started to forget and a new generation of adults appeared who haven't witnessed those dark and desperate years. That's why Navalnyi managed to get that much support from the younger generation. But after February 22 when they'd seen all that hatred generously poured on every single Russian no matter what their political views were many of them drastically changed their mind. During the last two years the West has actually done an outstanding job to make the Russians support Putin. Lots of us changed our opinions from "Why the f* they've decided to invade?!" to "Oh, that's why! Go get 'em!"
Even I, western european, felt the same thing. As I was digging i was starting slowly to admiring Putin. Today, I wished I had a leader that was 1/3 of what Putin is. Not only he brought Russia up from its knees, he vowed to end the US hegemony that was bringing so much terror in this world(munich speech 2007). And he grabed US and NATO by the horns as he said he would.
@@JoaoDuarte-ru2ue The whole process is still not going that smoothly for us Russians as you can imagine. But it seems like the whole world is not in the right place now anyway. So we prefer to stay cautiously optimistic as it's still far from as bad as it was back in the 90s.
You are absolutely right. I’m this person. I was Navalny’s supporter but Feb 22nd opened my eyes. Now I see how much I was wrong and how much the west hates us. And I’m so happy that the majority of the Russian understand it and support our president mow
Immediately after 9/11 the US Bush admin spoke to Putin about the 9/11 attack stating they did not suspect Russia of involvement but the US would be increasing its Defcon nuclear threat level as standard security protocol. Putin agreed/understood and said he would actually decrease his threat level toward the US as a show of solidarity and offered to provide FSB intel on terrorist groups in Pakistan that Russia themselves had been observing since the Soviets left Afghanistan in 1989. Condaleeza Rice was in close discussion with her Russian counterpart at that time and later said this was the closest the US and Russia had been aligned diplomatically since Putin had entered power particularly on tackling global terrorism and relationships were very good. Bush however refused Putin's attempt to provide free intel. Later at a meeting of global nations circa 2002 in Europe Putin remarked when would Russia join Nato. American diplomats under Bush said Nato was invite only and in the case of Russia that would be never.. In short, the US Bush admin snubbed Putin's attempts at alignment more than once within the first couple of years of him taking power even to the detriment of the US foreign policy. During Obama's admin it would be proven that Pakistan NOT Afghanistan was the central hub for the very same terrorist networks Putin highlighted a decade earlier in 2001 when in 2011 the US found and dispatched Bin Laden in Pakistan, not Afghanistan. During the UN debates on the proposed invasion of Iraq, Putin stated he didn't believe the intel on WMD's in Iraq made a compelling enough case for war with Saddam and stated that removing Saddam would only heighten global terrorism, destabilise the wider middle east region for decades to come. British MP George Galloway said the same. Both suggested other routes of diplomacy with Saddam other than the crushing sanctions imposed on Iraqi's, that included denying vital medications into Iraq for sick children. Bush saw this as opposition to his planned invasion almost on a personal level and western media began to vilify Putin as a staunch ally of Saddam. Putin would later point out the hypocrisy of western powers taking offence to the minor Russian conflict in Georgia to oust terrorist factions there who had bombed areas within Russia an were tied to Chechen rebels whilst the west fully supported a far larger invasion into Iraq on fabricated evidence of Saddam harbouring al qeada and amassing WMD's. WMD's that were never found along with no links to Saddam and the 9/11 attack.
Putin does want to revive the URSS. That is the main reason USA does not want to deal with him. Unlike Japan or Germany, Russia was a threat to USA power.
When it's bankrupted. Which will happen one way or the other. The cost of antagonizing China and Russia among many other issues will get unbearable sooner or later.
@@louisjouvet4548 do you expect the president/presidential elect/presidential candidate not to talk about himself? 90% of the questions are going to be about him lol, and the whole point of the campaign is to put him in office, so what else should he talk about?
As native Russian I’ve walked this path from 1990 to 2024. It’s all true. We believed in west and UK friendship how naive Soviet people. But we got a stabbed in the back. I remember -no food, no job, criminal on the streets. And I grateful to Putin, that he restored honor and prosperity of my country. I would add that Russians are educated, we understand a lot about geopolitics and don’t want to be a puppet of foreign governments. The strong leader is better for us.

Europe, 52. I have been pushed from "average Western bloke minding his own business" to full fledged U$-hater in 20 years. Believe me, that's an achievement, I am not the "hating kind" of person! U$ interference destroyed almost everything I liked, not the least my trust in justice and freedom!
Before social media, people form my country, Serbia didnt like Americans, reason was because Nato bombed Serbia for 78 days without approval of UN and doing so breaking international law, than social medias became popular and we are not hating you anymore, we see that if nothing else you are even more screwed by your government than other countries you invaded. Legacy media lying to you for years that is starting to get debunked just now.
Not you alone. I'm younger Russian and I travel across Canada and US a lot. Happy to see people thinking by themselves, I had so much support and kindness from american people. God bless😊 Canada no, too many hohols and leftists
Protect and support Russia and your leadership all the way. They are really truly yours. The others, mostly most of the West are smiling adversaries and enemies. And sure with only the dignity and respect for Russia and it's (your) interests there can be really peace, ❤ now and forever.
I remember 7-8 years ago how controversial it was to voice your support for those actions, today none of those loud voices are heard much anymore. I guess they have actual, genuine issues to worry about with the current situation.
Putin is a man of his time, he rose to the challenge during Russia's most difficult period he probably saw the direction that Russia was heading towards and he took initiative, Leadership and great wisdom to make Russia strong, u should show the speech he made to the Russia people that he tried his hardest to work with the west and sadly he acknowledge he failed as it takes 2 hands to clap and unfortunately the West/US didnt want to cooperate. Of course the US doesnt want peace in the world, otherwise how would their Military Industrial Complex maintain their high stock price and ensure high dividends to their shareholders.... this is the real problem that is plaguing the US and should not be overlooked or even blame on the Congress the US system of lobbying is legalize corruption which is why the US is fading as a superpower, just look at the costs to maintain the F35 fighter its just a high tech shell but cost a bomb to maintain and is very expensive to buy and to maintain! Its just a ripoff by the MIC to the US taxpayers to buy these expensive toys... when a cheap $500 dollar drone can just destroy a 10million dollar tank.... it should be clear to anyone these are just expensive tools that does nothing but hype up whatever capabilities it has and the Ukraine conflict has exposed all this to the world.
What's interesting is that when Putin initially took power, he was a big fan of America, and wanted Russia and USA to be allies, and he was cast aside and rejected by the US every single time. He one time asked Bill Clinton (or was it Bush, I can't remember) if there's any chance that Russia could become part of NATO, and the American president basically laughed and said "Hahahah, not a chance, buddy". It kinda really proves that America is the one who doesn't want peaceful relations with Russia, because it always needs a boogeyman in order to justify military spending. The guy who is desperately trying to paint himself as the good guy and tries hard to seem a hero, is usually the guy who is the undercover villain.
if NATO ceased to exist, the US Military/Industrial Complex had no more reason to exist either... how those people would enrich themselves if there were no bogus wars to prosecute then ?
Me too. We broke every agreement, promise and treaty. President Putin has been exceedingly patient with “The West” but even He has his limit. The US doesn’t practice diplomacy, they only use a BBB Tactic of Bribe, Bully and Bomb. Antony is a Blinken Disaster and John Kirby is Nothing but a CADmiral in this atrocious CADministration! They have Buckets of Blood on their hands and don’t seem to have a care in the world.
"...and squandered it..." Please consider the following for a starting point: Among the 248 armed conflicts that occurred in 153 regions across the world from 1945 to 2001: A frightening 201 were initiated by the US - 81% of the total number... Since then the US has created and fought some of their seven Middle East planned wars with Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Pakistan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and left misery, death, broken infrastructure and destroyed livelihoods, lives, homes and families. Also, funding and suppling arms for the wars in Ukraine and Palestine. They watch too much of Hollywood war movies where they have believed they won all wars they were involved in when they did not win one war - truly, not one! Whereas Russia, as one of America's WWII allies, lost 27 million lives against the US and UK with approximately under half a million each...
The world has become a board game in which: USA is playing _Checkers,_ thinking *1 move* ahead. Russia is playing _Chess,_ thinking *5 moves* ahead. China is playing _Go (Weiqi_ "围棋"), thinking *10 moves* ahead.
It's not about excusing Putin's actions... But why? What did Putin that the western so named democracies didn't? The only crime done by Putin and the Russians as a whole is that they have desire to live by their own way. Or even to say, desire to live. But I understand that it is not permitted to say such heretic things in public. Even just to say that the Russians are not rude barbarians ruled by a blood loving maniac, it's a heroic deed. Thank you, sir, for doing that.
I can tell you what our crimes are. There are two actually: 1) We dared to place our country above some much needed natural resources. Everybody know that all the oil in the world belongs to the US. Only tyrants oppose this. 2) We refused to trade those resources for beads.
Finland in NATO : Municipalities in Eastern Finland are demanding that the authorities take measures to restore the region's economy, writes Savon Sanomat . The entire region has plunged into crisis due to anti-Russian sanctions. Particularly serious problems are observed with trade turnover, exports and unemployment. "Unfortunately, the draft program for the development of Eastern Finland does not contain any concrete and impressive ideas ," the author of the article states.
Don't worry the US and Nato bases will pick up the slack, but if I remember Finland didn't vote to join Nato their WEF sponsored politicians just took the dollar and ignored any protocol to have a referendum, if you think the demise of Nokia was bad you haven't seen anything yet 😢
The more often and louder anti-Russian slogans are heard in Finland, the more “unnecessary” things appear in the lives of citizens. Traveling by car has now become too expensive for Finns, but what will they not be able to afford later? Officials, in pursuit of the idea of abandoning the Russian railway, ignore the economic decline in the country. However, this is nothing new, because for a good reputation among equally hypocritical countries, it is better to spend money on populist projects than to solve the real problems of its citizens.
I am russian and I used to visit Finland all the time. And many people I know did so too. We got there for a few days, we spent money and went back. But no more. I guess they don't need our business.

When I heard that quote from Anthony Blinken in relation to the "International Rules based order" human rights, freedom, .. bs!! I just think he has a lot of nerve to say this.. Makes me pretty angry while the US bows down to Isreali interests while the Criminal Netanyahu regime commits a genocide in real time, while the US enables the Netanyahu regime to get away with it.. Personally I am not to impressed with the US at all. The US government are hypocrites, and many US officials are criminals, & the entire US political system is completely corrupt.. Freedom and human rights!! The US doesn't act with responsibility or these ideals even considered or factored in whatsoever!! For example look what the US did to Syria.. Zero threat to the USA. The US imposed brutal sanctions for over a decade.. The US occupies 1/3 of Syria now & has for over a decade!! Not only this but, the US is in the Oil rich & agriculture rich area of Syria for a reason.. Stealing their resources!! Where does the money go? To the Syrian people?? Pfff Hell no.. The US does this to cripple a Sovereign country that poses absolutely zero threat to the USA. All because of Netanyahu's wishes, Netanyahu doesn't like Syria falsely accused them of atrocities that are minor compared to what Isreal is actually doing, (A real time genocide in gaza). Turkey, & a rebranded terrorist group called HTS was funded by the US since Jake Sullivan's Email to Then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on February 12th 2012. "AQ is on our side in Syria ".. Where is the international rules based order then? Who was going after the US for using AQ in Syria? 10 years from 911? Doesn't this seem like a violation? Al Queada is a terrorist group & so is the HTS. What is this "International Rules based order" ?? Where is this document or written text? There isn't.. Nothing, nadda, zip, zero, ziltch, goose egg.. The US feels that it & Isreal are above the laws of the UN, & the US & Isreal violates the UN statutes all of the time.. Essentially the two are Rouge states, no rules, no legal repercussions of any kind.. Human rights & democracy, freedom.. Sure, what about these false standards for the Syrian people? The Cuban people? The Iraqi people, The Venezuelan people, the Lybian people? The Afghan people? You know I like to listen sometimes to people speak, Lavrov, Blinken, Biden, Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland, Jake Sullivan, the only guy or woman who tells any resemblance of the truth in my opinion is Lavrov.. The others to me don't say anything remotely close to the truth, I don't trust them, I don't believe them, & they have absolutely zero credibility in my eyes at all, but hey. This is just me here with my opinion..
@rebeccasouthall1249 Yes, a Plutocracy I know this already. Most of the US people actually think that this is a democracy, not even close. First people need to understand this basic fact to go forward..
As an American, I agree 💯. Unfortunately, most Americans r clueless and/or in denial of what's really going on, in the good Ole USA! Too many, busy watching/betting sports! N on the other hand, the few that r watching the news, r only watching what the US wants them to think, that everybody is bad, n we're the saviors of the🌎 I sometimes try n educate ppl, but it's tiering n frustrating. Until the day the US collapses, than maybe they'll wake up....
Also, Blinken publicly stated the U.S. doesn't believe in spheres of influence for Russia & China. But the U.S. is trying to influence and bully every country.
I SUGGEST IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH PROFIT IF THERE WAS PROFIT BEING RUSSIA'S ALLIE THEN IT WOULD ALREADY BE HAPPENING NOW PUTIN'S RUSSIA DOESN'T NEED AMERICA AND THERE ALLIANCES ARE TO MUCH FOR AMERICA TO HANDLE. RUSSIA ISN'T GOING TO START A WAR AMERICA DOES THAT
@@dolydoly5679 To feel threatened by, and see the need to destroy Russia when it was at its weakest in the early 90s says a lot. This goes way beyond the fear of losing power. It means the US (unconsciously) sees itself as weaker than Russia. Psychologically it goes beyond just the fear of losing power, and shows that they don't actually feel powerful. The fear is much more generalized, and it's part of the American culture, which can be recognized in things like the amount of posturing, the 'need' for weapons, and even the widespread hero complex, for example.
And how many times Russia saved the asses of the United States from its enemies both within and outside of its borders only to try to destroy Russia by any means necessary???
Western reporters (like NBC) can pose questions to Putin during press conferences in Russia. Russian media (like RT and Sputnik News) can't do the same to Biden during press conferences in USA. Which one is the authoritarian and democracy I wonder?

Mikhail Khazin, Russian economist and analyst: Democracy is considered as ruling of the Democrats, liberalism is considered as ruling of global bankers.
They’re calling Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum as un democrat even though she and her party won the majority of states and the Congress and presidency. But since she doesn’t follow neoliberal ideology and she’s not willing to allow foreign corporations to do what ever they want. She “authoritarian” and helping the cartels.
They go so fast from protesting US intervention right into Putin is the greatest person that ever lived. :D Never mind he wanted to join KGB mostly known for torture of political dissidents already at 13 years old. And he didn't improve from there.
Im glad neither happened. It wasn't meant to be. Russia isn't anything like the United States. it doesn't have a history of brutal force all over the world.
Well, about that... Russia in many forms, like USSR or Russian Empire, indeed caused or was weaved into some wars, even bloody one. But mainly it's a defensive country almost it's entire history. Even modern Russian doctrine is overland defensive one. They don't use carriers to project force, but rather use light and fast naval vessels to protect borders and train troops to mainly work on their own ground.
@@calluxdoaron1903 not "almost" - but always defensive: even military campaigns in the Caucasus and Central Asia - were caused by the fact that from there raids were constantly carried out on Russian lands. Some nations there lived only by raids and robbery, this was the only "profession" for the people living there, other types of activity simply did not exist there: no farming, no industry, no science - if you want to eat - go and take from your neighbor (and this is not only Russia - they also robbed other neighboring nations constantly).
@@alexgainsborough4921 Winter war, a pre-WW2 Finno-Soviet war was started by invasion of soviet forces though. Funny to consider that Finns say they "won" the war, even though they just survived long enough to Soviets to lose interest and withdraw.
Bless Boris Jeltsin for backing Putin. Russia is now stronger than ever thanks because of the right leadership. The West is in steady decline because of no leadership in this dynamic world. From Sweden
That was the only think Yeltsin did right for his country. The man was letting gangsters and mafia bosses run the country that caused untold chaos and destruction in the lives of ordinary Russian people.

No matter what all the various experts say, The only reason the Americans did not want the Russians in the European society or as one of the European countries, because of the amount of natural minerals that Russia has, the value of which is approximately 75 trillion dollars. 1, not strong at least not like European countries, 2. If Russia will be divided into small states, whether it is through conflicts and wars or through the declaration of independence of small areas.
American is a young country Russian is old country so do you think a young country like America should tell Russia and china what to do for they people
The US made two grand strategic errors: the belief that the Sino-Soviet split would be permanent. And the underestimation of the rise of China. Along with typical warmongering hegemonic behavior. To paraphrase Joe Brandon: if Russia did not birth a leader like Putin, they would have to invent a Putin. No large country with a continuous culture can be kept down for long. Russia has endured an era comparable to the Century of Humiliation. But these types of events are cyclical. Those who endure learn to adapt and overcome their circumstances. But Western oligarchs believed that they could maintain the neoliberal model on the ex-Soviet Union forever. This is what strategy looks like when you get your advice from a bunch of lawyers and bankers.
I am glad you have set the record straight here. The people in America need to know these things. Politics in the U.S. has been a megalomaniac in regard to other Nations, firmly believe that they are superior than anyone else and underestimating the strong will of other people to defend themselves from this megalomania. It will be the U.S. own fault if its Empire will decline and ultimately disappear. They should finally realize that without cooperation with other Nations they won't be able to impose themselves ever again. It's a different world than they seem to still pursue. That world disappeared with the New Millennium. They should wake up, look at the clock and what time it is and then smell the coffee. Living in the past is the worst thing anyone could ever do, but the United States seems to be sitting on its past laurels not understanding what the future holds in store for the world, and it is absolutely not waiting for the Nation to move forward. If they lose the train they will be stranded for a long while without anyone lending them a hand. Better if they board the train before it is too late.
But USA want war to assess their superiority. This is why the push for the cold war at a time when we all know that Soviet Union, after WWII wanted only peace and had no intention to attack western europe. But USA needed confrontationin the west and they created war in the east in Korea. They continue today in Taiwan, in spite of all the treaties they signed.
Taiwan presidential candidates have to ne interviewed by US 3 times. They bought 15 Boeing 737, poisoned pork, arms just to please US. Their goal , to have US fight the war for them. They have a shortage in combat unit. No one want to enlist.
Cold War had started by Soviet attempts to prevent the inflow of capitalism. No one can oppose Stalin and he ended up to make the 2 world structure. America used this structure to damage Soviet economy.
Blinken said: “the principal that human rights belong to everyone, everywhere” but he doesn’t care about the victims in GAZA at all ! Why? This guy is one of the biggest liars among politicians😢
It will be in the best interest of your friends to be very interested in their government's foreign policy. For over 40 years, your government had been running roughshod over everyone. Now, the case is not one of a tide that is turning but one in which the tide has already turned. It wont be nice for your friends to only start waking up when bombs are already raining down in their neigbhourhood and it may well come to that. Up to this moment, these wars that your government forment all over the world have been fought oceans away. I believe this has come to a screeching halt with the trend of things in Ukraine and the nature of warfare in today's world. The chicken may come home to roost. Your friends and peoples of the collective west should rise up to their government and say "No more, not in our name" before it becomes too late
Finally, at least someone f*cking said that. Thanks. 90's - it's not just a memory in Russia. It's a whole symbole of poverty, crime and military conflicts rising through previous soviet states. NO ONE wants it to get back. This - is the worst things we encountered, no matter from social class (well, except for oligarhs, of course). Thank you for your video.
I admire the Russian people for having a very long memory regarding negative events in their history in general. We Filipinos has the exact opposite of this characteristics and that's why we keep repeating the same mistake over and over again.
Human rights don't exist . They are only used if needed. Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos have suffered these "human rights". Not to speak about Afghanistan, Libya and Yemen.
'sphere of influence' is the key.. yes, the US wanted Russia in its sphere of influence, but Russia did not want to be in anyone's sphere of influence, because it was a great enough power historically with enough potential to have its own sphere of influence. The US could have accepted this and built a FRIENDSHIP with Russia on equal grounds as two equal powers both dominant in their own regions. This would have been phenomenal for the world, but greed and pride destroyed everything, as they always do. The US made its bed and now must lie in it.
Concept of “sphere influence”should be demolished to protect the sovereignty of small countries. Russian people usually are not aggressive not to accept the end of “sphere influence”, but 90s experience made them aggressive to the west.
There is a point i completely agree with u , international law based on order ,yes that's right , but the international law made by all the countries of world and recognized by those countries . i'm sick of westerners' interpretation of their own version of so-called 'international law' ,besides who authorized you to interfere in others' affairs? you are not the police of the world, you're not qualified to tell other people what u should do or not. i have no idea how long it will take to help Americans understand at this point. American got a bad habit, it always take advantage of its super power to bully ,threaten ,blackmail and force others to follow and accept American domination and ideology.
Wow, the shit that they don’t teach you in these colonizers schools. Thank you for bringing this to the light. Something in the US would’ve never taught their citizens.
I have been listening to your analysis for more than 6 months and I absolutely loved it because of the transparency and truth you speak. Love from Pakistan and kindly speak about Pakistan current Gov which are committing human rights violations by killing protesters in Islamabad last month.
EU would never have accepted Russia because it would have been totally dominant in population and size versus Germany, France etc - it was that simple. The other obvious question is if the EU and NATO are so benign ... why do they continuously seek to expand ? the answer is capitalism - it is always searching for cheaper sources of materials and labour - that is how it works.
Чёрт возьми, разложил по полочкам лучше чем в интервью Путина Карлсону. Хотя не хватает переломных дат типа Мю́нхенской речи Путина 2007 и Войны в Грузии 2008. Если всё время давить на пружину, когда нибудь получите ею в лоб. Damn it, he sorted it out better than in Putin's interview with Carlson. Although there are not enough turning points like Putin's Munich speech in 2007 and the War in Georgia in 2008. If you keep pushing on the spring, you'll get hit in the forehead with it someday.
It's also worth mentioning that it wasn't Putin, who built the authoritarian regime. Yeltsin, who is seen by many Westerners as a saint (and I actually saw some of them defending him, which is funny) did this. In 1993, when Black October (the Russian name for a constitutional crisis of 1993) happened, Yeltsin violated the Constitution over 100 times. It was proved by the Constitutional Court of Russia. He was also impeached by the Supreme Council (it was russian parliament at this time) through a legal procedure (because Yeltsin tried to disband the Supreme Council by decree, which he didnt have a right to do at all. The Council, on the contrary, had the right to remove president from power). But it didn't matter - the army was loyal to Yeltsin. After the violence and death of many, he rewrote the constitution, giving more power to the president in it. He did this all because the Supreme Council was actively resisting his reforms adviced by the West, which harmed the life of the population. Putin already had a ground to stand on when changing the system to his needs. The West basically built himself the enemy.

Thank you. Finally, someone like you started to explain who is the creator of the problem for the destruction of this world. God bless you and long life to the great Tsar Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
If Russia was integrated, the US would have much more leverage over geopolitics today. However, the requirement was to pick diplomacy over warfare, even after the Soviet Union collapsed, the failure of reducing spending on defense and put it into other industries is why nothing changed, it's almost like the United states did not understand how to function without a major enemy. The defense industry needs a enemy to keep spending high. All this loss time and money is now coming back to bite the US. This is no different than Ancient Rome, if conquest is the only solution you have to keep the empire going. It shows a lack of long term planning.
Not backfired. The US destroyed its competitor - the EU, and made them dependent on US LNG. They also forced the EU to waste more money on defense and buy new weapons systems from American companies.
Am a fan of Putin but didn't believe Him saying He wanted to join NATO but America refused. Now I get the logic.exactly who would challenge the US if they are all on one side. That would have been very bad business. For the military's industrial complex of the US.
It is for this reason that the deaths of Gorbachev and Yeltsin were met with regret in Russia. Many hoped that Gorbachev would share the fate of Trotsky or Gaidar.
Cyrus, I've watched your videos since two years ago!!! They're one of the most insightful videos about geopolitics on UA-cam!! I have a little feedback about the video quality. I don't know if it's my computer's problem, but the soundtrack of your recent videos sounds a little bit blurred and electric.
As a Ukrainian living in Donbass region, thank you for actually speaking truth. US chose to fight Russia for no reason. Ofcourse Russia will have to answer, they let US and NATO slide so many, many times. Not in Ukraine.
The therm “United States” stands for the country under such “name” and the colonies that it has conquered so far . And not as reference to the so called states in North America.

Yt deleted my comments but keep spreading the truth sir
Yeltsin was the man responsible for getting Putin set up in power. Inside Russia it is known, at least by some military higher ups and political figures, that the West had basically "neutered" Yeltsin after his failed attempts to bring Russia into the European group of nations. It is said, that in a meeting between Yeltsin and Putin in St. Petersburg where Yeltsin was introducing Putin to many political people as he was backing Putin as his successor, that Yeltsin told Putin that he had tried to help Russia integrate with the rest of europe and the u.s., but he was rejected at every turn and now the u.s. is trying to have it's large corporations and wealthy individuals buy up Russia and tear it up into small pieces for their greed. He said he could no longer do much for Russia as he is seen as a powerless puppet of the West. He supposedly told Putin that Russia needed a strong leader to defend the Motherland and all it's people, try to advocate for peace, but never surrender Russia and it's people.
And Putin did succeed, with a term by Medvedev, and then Putin's return. There are many incorrect beliefs about Russia. Russia is an authoritarian state, yet no one gives verifiable proof, just allegations from people who could well have been paid by the the u.s. government to say anything they want. Did you know that newspapers, even State owned ones will print articles by presidential candidates stating that Putin is taking the country down a bad path of ruin for Russia, and yet they are not imprisoned or assassinated as the West would you believe? Did you know that not every bit of legislation Putin brings to the Duma gets passed? Putin is not a dictator, nor is he an authoritarian leader. He doesn't even direct the war in ukraine, he leaves that to his generals, who do of course inform him and consult with him on matters that may bridge into the political realm. Yes, Russia has a centralized government, which I'm told many Russians have believed is right for them because of the huge size of their country. Personally, I believe more money should be spent in outlying cities and villages, but having to deal with constant sanctions under the West's plan to destroy Russia (see Rand report 2019) and take control of it's natural resources and of it's political governance. So, though there is hard evidence of the u.s. involvement in election interference via vote rigging, highjacking of media sources, funding and equipping terrorists groups to intimidate voters, assassinations, etc. all of which the proof has always come to light sooner or later of the horrible actions of the u.s. and some it's large and wealthy donor contributors such as musk, bezos, gates, microsoft, facebook, X, and on and on. Anytime you see the name "National Endowment for Democracy" an u.s. State Dept. run NGO which is the funding vehicle the u.s. government uses to channel money to various other groups, including ISIS cells, in order to keep and step or more between the u.s. and other donors and these horrible groups they find to do their dirty work.
Yes, I abhor the anti-LGBTQ+ laws in Russia, as well as China. There is zero justification for these, and even less in China, which is not much of a religious country and therefore can't rely on religion for their anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry and hate. Russia falls back on religion, which in my book is no better excuse than anything China comes up with. And the one thing that bothers me about people that point out all these great things about Russia and China, is no one talks about how the LGBTQ+ community has to live in these countries! WTF guys, these folks have to live their entire lives in a closet!!! Would you like that? Or are you not LGBTQ+ and therefore just don't give a damn about how these people are treated? Are you that damn cold and hateful? I've brought the subject up to local politicians where we have property and where my wife grew up because I thought it was important and yes, technically I could have been fine for it, but these men understood my passion and my brother was gay, until his murder at 34, and so they said personally they didn't really care if people were LGBTQ+ or not and don't really want to find or arrest people. If some people made a big public issue they said they would be forced to act, but they don't really want to get into people's personal business. I thanked them for their attitude and their time, willingness to talk with me. I think they didn't want to arrest me as they had never met an american before, especially that would so loudly be against many of his own country's actions in foreign policy! It was an interesting discussion.
Gorbachyov name is pronounced MihaIl GorbachYOv. Not MikEl GOrbochyov.
The reason why Russia was never allowed into the EU and NATO is because the military industrial complex which controls The US and NATO needed a Boogeyman to ensure continued high spending on military and defense infrastructure that justifies the existence of NATO. Not only that, much of the recent policy decisions from the US government were designed to provoke Russian aggression in Ukraine.
They also didn't wanna invest that money into it's people because they would be too smart to control and it would be a true democracy
The very same people brought about Communism in Russia.
It all flows from the gate Keepers which are the Freemasonic Zionists.
excellent Observation!!!! !! High Usa military Spending at the expense of the American Taxpayer!!!
Exactly!!! by the US blatantly violating the treaties it signed with Russia by encroaching on Russian borders. It's no wonder the US and the west have so many enemies world wide. Not just NATO, even the UN would seize to exist if all wars ended.
Russia was developed before USA and European
As a Russian I can verify everything you said from a perspective of an average citizen. Those who remember the 90s take everything the US says with a bucketful of salt. The irony is that we started to forget and a new generation of adults appeared who haven't witnessed those dark and desperate years. That's why Navalnyi managed to get that much support from the younger generation. But after February 22 when they'd seen all that hatred generously poured on every single Russian no matter what their political views were many of them drastically changed their mind. During the last two years the West has actually done an outstanding job to make the Russians support Putin. Lots of us changed our opinions from "Why the f* they've decided to invade?!" to "Oh, that's why! Go get 'em!"
90s demonstrated, that Russia is only viewed as source of resources, and expected to give them for cheap, if not for free.
Even I, western european, felt the same thing. As I was digging i was starting slowly to admiring Putin.
Today, I wished I had a leader that was 1/3 of what Putin is. Not only he brought Russia up from its knees, he vowed to end the US hegemony that was bringing so much terror in this world(munich speech 2007). And he grabed US and NATO by the horns as he said he would.
@@JoaoDuarte-ru2ue The whole process is still not going that smoothly for us Russians as you can imagine. But it seems like the whole world is not in the right place now anyway. So we prefer to stay cautiously optimistic as it's still far from as bad as it was back in the 90s.
You are absolutely right. I’m this person. I was Navalny’s supporter but Feb 22nd opened my eyes. Now I see how much I was wrong and how much the west hates us. And I’m so happy that the majority of the Russian understand it and support our president mow
Navalnyi only get between 2-4% anyways
Immediately after 9/11 the US Bush admin spoke to Putin about the 9/11 attack stating they did not suspect Russia of involvement but the US would be increasing its Defcon nuclear threat level as standard security protocol.
Putin agreed/understood and said he would actually decrease his threat level toward the US as a show of solidarity and offered to provide FSB intel on terrorist groups in Pakistan that Russia themselves had been observing since the Soviets left Afghanistan in 1989.
Condaleeza Rice was in close discussion with her Russian counterpart at that time and later said this was the closest the US and Russia had been aligned diplomatically since Putin had entered power particularly on tackling global terrorism and relationships were very good.
Bush however refused Putin's attempt to provide free intel.
Later at a meeting of global nations circa 2002 in Europe Putin remarked when would Russia join Nato.
American diplomats under Bush said Nato was invite only and in the case of Russia that would be never..
In short, the US Bush admin snubbed Putin's attempts at alignment more than once within the first couple of years of him taking power even to the detriment of the US foreign policy.
During Obama's admin it would be proven that Pakistan NOT Afghanistan was the central hub for the very same terrorist networks Putin highlighted a decade earlier in 2001 when in 2011 the US found and dispatched Bin Laden in Pakistan, not Afghanistan.
During the UN debates on the proposed invasion of Iraq, Putin stated he didn't believe the intel on WMD's in Iraq made a compelling enough case for war with Saddam and stated that removing Saddam would only heighten global terrorism, destabilise the wider middle east region for decades to come. British MP George Galloway said the same. Both suggested other routes of diplomacy with Saddam other than the crushing sanctions imposed on Iraqi's, that included denying vital medications into Iraq for sick children.
Bush saw this as opposition to his planned invasion almost on a personal level and western media began to vilify Putin as a staunch ally of Saddam.
Putin would later point out the hypocrisy of western powers taking offence to the minor Russian conflict in Georgia to oust terrorist factions there who had bombed areas within Russia an were tied to Chechen rebels whilst the west fully supported a far larger invasion into Iraq on fabricated evidence of Saddam harbouring al qeada and amassing WMD's.
WMD's that were never found along with no links to Saddam and the 9/11 attack.
OH SURPRISE SURPRISE ITS OVER FOR AMERICA TRUMP IS TOTAL DESPERATION NOTHING MORE ,PUTIN IS FOR REAL AND TRUMP ,WELL DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS 🍁🇷🇺🇨🇳
Putin does want to revive the URSS. That is the main reason USA does not want to deal with him. Unlike Japan or Germany, Russia was a threat to USA power.
And then the US lost the Iraq War anyways. Thanks bush

As native Russian I’ve walked this path from 1990 to 2024. It’s all true. We believed in west and UK friendship how naive Soviet people. But we got a stabbed in the back. I remember -no food, no job, criminal on the streets. And I grateful to Putin, that he restored honor and prosperity of my country.

I don't forget too that putin really angered the west when he banned gay pride parades and made it state policy to uphold traditional family values.
and now Trump is doing the same😂
I remember 7-8 years ago how controversial it was to voice your support for those actions, today none of those loud voices are heard much anymore. I guess they have actual, genuine issues to worry about with the current situation.
What business is it of the West whether Russia bans gay pride parades or not?
😂
USA had already lost ALL VALUE.
I am sick of all those hypocrisy of American politicians and the media!
this is what US plan from the start, EU now must buy from US with Arab gas and oil. meanwhile the industry move to US.
Putin is a man of his time, he rose to the challenge during Russia's most difficult period he probably saw the direction that Russia was heading towards and he took initiative, Leadership and great wisdom to make Russia strong, u should show the speech he made to the Russia people that he tried his hardest to work with the west and sadly he acknowledge he failed as it takes 2 hands to clap and unfortunately the West/US didnt want to cooperate.
Of course the US doesnt want peace in the world, otherwise how would their Military Industrial Complex maintain their high stock price and ensure high dividends to their shareholders.... this is the real problem that is plaguing the US and should not be overlooked or even blame on the Congress the US system of lobbying is legalize corruption which is why the US is fading as a superpower, just look at the costs to maintain the F35 fighter its just a high tech shell but cost a bomb to maintain and is very expensive to buy and to maintain! Its just a ripoff by the MIC to the US taxpayers to buy these expensive toys... when a cheap $500 dollar drone can just destroy a 10million dollar tank.... it should be clear to anyone these are just expensive tools that does nothing but hype up whatever capabilities it has and the Ukraine conflict has exposed all this to the world.
What's interesting is that when Putin initially took power, he was a big fan of America, and wanted Russia and USA to be allies, and he was cast aside and rejected by the US every single time. He one time asked Bill Clinton (or was it Bush, I can't remember) if there's any chance that Russia could become part of NATO, and the American president basically laughed and said "Hahahah, not a chance, buddy". It kinda really proves that America is the one who doesn't want peaceful relations with Russia, because it always needs a boogeyman in order to justify military spending.

Me too. We broke every agreement, promise and treaty. President Putin has been exceedingly patient with “The West” but even He has his limit.

They have Buckets of Blood on their hands and don’t seem to have a care in the world.
"...and squandered it..." Please consider the following for a starting point:
Among the 248 armed conflicts that occurred in 153 regions across the world from 1945 to 2001:
A frightening 201 were initiated by the US - 81% of the total number...
Since then the US has created and fought some of their seven Middle East planned wars with Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Pakistan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and left misery, death, broken infrastructure and destroyed livelihoods, lives, homes and families.
Also, funding and suppling arms for the wars in Ukraine and Palestine. They watch too much of Hollywood war movies where they have believed they won all wars they were involved in when they did not win one war - truly, not one! Whereas Russia, as one of America's WWII allies, lost 27 million lives against the US and UK with approximately under half a million each...

Such a shame.😢
Don't worry the US and Nato bases will pick up the slack, but if I remember Finland didn't vote to join Nato their WEF sponsored politicians just took the dollar and ignored any protocol to have a referendum, if you think the demise of Nokia was bad you haven't seen anything yet 😢
The more often and louder anti-Russian slogans are heard in Finland, the more “unnecessary” things appear in the lives of citizens. Traveling by car has now become too expensive for Finns, but what will they not be able to afford later? Officials, in pursuit of the idea of abandoning the Russian railway, ignore the economic decline in the country. However, this is nothing new, because for a good reputation among equally hypocritical countries, it is better to spend money on populist projects than to solve the real problems of its citizens.

Makes me pretty angry while the US bows down to Isreali interests while the Criminal Netanyahu regime commits a genocide in real time, while the US enables the Netanyahu regime to get away with it.. Personally I am not to impressed with the US at all. The US government are hypocrites, and many US officials are criminals, & the entire US political system is completely corrupt.. Freedom and human rights!! The US doesn't act with responsibility or these ideals even considered or factored in whatsoever!! For example look what the US did to Syria.. Zero threat to the USA. The US imposed brutal sanctions for over a decade.. The US occupies 1/3 of Syria now & has for over a decade!! Not only this but, the US is in the Oil rich & agriculture rich area of Syria for a reason.. Stealing their resources!! Where does the money go? To the Syrian people?? Pfff Hell no.. The US does this to cripple a Sovereign country that poses absolutely zero threat to the USA. All because of Netanyahu's wishes, Netanyahu doesn't like Syria falsely accused them of atrocities that are minor compared to what Isreal is actually doing, (A real time genocide in gaza). Turkey, & a rebranded terrorist group called HTS was funded by the US since Jake Sullivan's Email to Then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on February 12th 2012. "AQ is on our side in Syria ".. Where is the international rules based order then? Who was going after the US for using AQ in Syria? 10 years from 911? Doesn't this seem like a violation? Al Queada is a terrorist group & so is the HTS. What is this "International Rules based order" ?? Where is this document or written text? There isn't.. Nothing, nadda, zip, zero, ziltch, goose egg.. The US feels that it & Isreal are above the laws of the UN, & the US & Isreal violates the UN statutes all of the time.. Essentially the two are Rouge states, no rules, no legal repercussions of any kind.. Human rights & democracy, freedom.. Sure, what about these false standards for the Syrian people? The Cuban people? The Iraqi people, The Venezuelan people, the Lybian people? The Afghan people? You know I like to listen sometimes to people speak, Lavrov, Blinken, Biden, Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland, Jake Sullivan, the only guy or woman who tells any resemblance of the truth in my opinion is Lavrov.. The others to me don't say anything remotely close to the truth, I don't trust them, I don't believe them, & they have absolutely zero credibility in my eyes at all, but hey.

Fear of losing power...
@@dolydoly5679 To feel threatened by, and see the need to destroy Russia when it was at its weakest in the early 90s says a lot. This goes way beyond the fear of losing power. It means the US (unconsciously) sees itself as weaker than Russia.
Psychologically it goes beyond just the fear of losing power, and shows that they don't actually feel powerful. The fear is much more generalized, and it's part of the American culture, which can be recognized in things like the amount of posturing, the 'need' for weapons, and even the widespread hero complex, for example.
And how many times Russia saved the asses of the United States from its enemies both within and outside of its borders only to try to destroy Russia by any means necessary???

The appearance of Vladimir Putin was the best thing that could happen to humanity after the dissolution of the Soviet Union
What a joke !
Tell that to the Ukranian people or Navalny or Jamal Khashoggi or anyone who protest peacefully against Putin lol
They go so fast from protesting US intervention right into Putin is the greatest person that ever lived. :D Never mind he wanted to join KGB mostly known for torture of political dissidents already at 13 years old. And he didn't improve from there.
Maybe you should ask Navalny's wife.
Friendship with Russia or China means less weapon sold to other NATO countries
Not about the money. Where did all the nazi go after WW2? Why are the Russians and people of color considered less?
Weapons, NATO doesn't need knock off firearms😂
The globalists wanted to make a fool out of Russia. But instead, the globalists ended up making fools of themselves. Let that be a lesson.
A lesson to whom? Common people pay for globalists' mistakes with their lives.
A true HERO.
❤well said and well OBSERVED
❤well said and well OBSERVED
Extremely insightful. Every American needs to see this video. Our government needs to change its foreign policy!
It will get worse
Im glad neither happened. It wasn't meant to be. Russia isn't anything like the United States. it doesn't have a history of brutal force all over the world.
❤well said and well OBSERVED
Well, about that... Russia in many forms, like USSR or Russian Empire, indeed caused or was weaved into some wars, even bloody one. But mainly it's a defensive country almost it's entire history.
Even modern Russian doctrine is overland defensive one. They don't use carriers to project force, but rather use light and fast naval vessels to protect borders and train troops to mainly work on their own ground.
@@calluxdoaron1903 not "almost" - but always defensive: even military campaigns in the Caucasus and Central Asia - were caused by the fact that from there raids were constantly carried out on Russian lands. Some nations there lived only by raids and robbery, this was the only "profession" for the people living there, other types of activity simply did not exist there: no farming, no industry, no science - if you want to eat - go and take from your neighbor (and this is not only Russia - they also robbed other neighboring nations constantly).
@@calluxdoaron1903 Well, about that, USSR was created and run 1st by a Jew, then a Georgian, then Ukranian, when all that bs happened!!
@@alexgainsborough4921 Winter war, a pre-WW2 Finno-Soviet war was started by invasion of soviet forces though. Funny to consider that Finns say they "won" the war, even though they just survived long enough to Soviets to lose interest and withdraw.
The US didn't make “mistakes.” They did exactly what they intended to do from the git-go. They attacked Russia.
When did they attack Russia? I don't understand.
Love Cyrus .. NO FEAR.
He’s learning
👍
Bless Boris Jeltsin for backing Putin. Russia is now stronger than ever thanks because of the right leadership. The West is in steady decline because of no leadership in this dynamic world. From Sweden
That was the only think Yeltsin did right for his country. The man was letting gangsters and mafia bosses run the country that caused untold chaos and destruction in the lives of ordinary Russian people.
I miss Volvo and IKEA in our market. Greetings from Russia :)
@@Egor8488 Luckily you have Geely who owns Volvo and alot of Ikea furnitures were made in Russia.
Better having true friends than someone who can flip on you because of orders from the Usa.
Geely is not what we need, real Volvo makes great and reliable cars. Same goes for Ikea. My friend's IKEA kitchen is still in perfect condition, and by the way, the kitchen is already seventeen years old. It's a pity that we can't all be on good terms, a lot of potential is lost that could work for the benefit of all humanity. Dudes in expensive suits make life more and more difficult for ordinary people.
Maybe that is Yeltsin's middle finger to the collective West just my opinion.
The U.S. & EU are digging their own demise. Don't blame the world. Itś citizens are unfortunately the ones to suffer for their horrable reign. The U.S. deserves what they have voted for, only too bad for the rest of the world that will suffer along with their policies/decisions/actions.
❤exactly
No matter what all the various experts say,
The only reason the Americans did not want the Russians in the European society or as one of the European countries, because of the amount of natural minerals that Russia has, the value of which is approximately 75 trillion dollars.
1, not strong at least not like European countries,
2. If Russia will be divided into small states, whether it is through conflicts and wars or through the declaration of independence of small areas.
Let the truth come through
American is a young country Russian is old country so do you think a young country like America should tell Russia and china what to do for they people
@@Sebeline Да я смотрю ты потомок предателя и палицаев =)
The US made two grand strategic errors: the belief that the Sino-Soviet split would be permanent. And the underestimation of the rise of China. Along with typical warmongering hegemonic behavior.
To paraphrase Joe Brandon: if Russia did not birth a leader like Putin, they would have to invent a Putin. No large country with a continuous culture can be kept down for long. Russia has endured an era comparable to the Century of Humiliation. But these types of events are cyclical. Those who endure learn to adapt and overcome their circumstances. But Western oligarchs believed that they could maintain the neoliberal model on the ex-Soviet Union forever. This is what strategy looks like when you get your advice from a bunch of lawyers and bankers.
I am glad you have set the record straight here. The people in America need to know these things. Politics in the U.S. has been a megalomaniac in regard to other Nations, firmly believe that they are superior than anyone else and underestimating the strong will of other people to defend themselves from this megalomania. It will be the U.S. own fault if its Empire will decline and ultimately disappear. They should finally realize that without cooperation with other Nations they won't be able to impose themselves ever again. It's a different world than they seem to still pursue. That world disappeared with the New Millennium. They should wake up, look at the clock and what time it is and then smell the coffee. Living in the past is the worst thing anyone could ever do, but the United States seems to be sitting on its past laurels not understanding what the future holds in store for the world, and it is absolutely not waiting for the Nation to move forward. If they lose the train they will be stranded for a long while without anyone lending them a hand. Better if they board the train before it is too late.
But USA want war to assess their superiority. This is why the push for the cold war at a time when we all know that Soviet Union, after WWII wanted only peace and had no intention to attack western europe. But USA needed confrontationin the west and they created war in the east in Korea. They continue today in Taiwan, in spite of all the treaties they signed.
Taiwan presidential candidates have to ne interviewed by US 3 times. They bought 15 Boeing 737, poisoned pork, arms just to please US. Their goal , to have US fight the war for them. They have a shortage in combat unit. No one want to enlist.
Cold War had started by Soviet attempts to prevent the inflow of capitalism. No one can oppose Stalin and he ended up to make the 2 world structure. America used this structure to damage Soviet economy.
Blinken said: “the principal that human rights belong to everyone, everywhere” but he doesn’t care about the victims in GAZA at all ! Why? This guy is one of the biggest liars among politicians😢
He only care about power and money. Why is US in Syria? Who invited them? Rule of law? my arse
Cyrus, I’m sending this to all my friends who don’t seem to be interested in US foreign affairs.
I doubt that will make them interested
Tru the all in forum with Jeff Sachs and John M
It will be in the best interest of your friends to be very interested in their government's foreign policy. For over 40 years, your government had been running roughshod over everyone. Now, the case is not one of a tide that is turning but one in which the tide has already turned.
It wont be nice for your friends to only start waking up when bombs are already raining down in their neigbhourhood and it may well come to that.
Up to this moment, these wars that your government forment all over the world have been fought oceans away. I believe this has come to a screeching halt with the trend of things in Ukraine and the nature of warfare in today's world.
The chicken may come home to roost.
Your friends and peoples of the collective west should rise up to their government and say "No more, not in our name" before it becomes too late
"Wealthy well connected Russians" (Oligarchs in the 90s)
What a euphemism.
It is known to everyone what ethnicity the oligarchs belonged to
what ethnicity were the oligarchs?
Mhhhh.were they Jws?😂😂.just asking 😂
Who nose?
Actually, this explains so much.
@shawnshan9817 of the little hat variety
They were asset stripping Russia. Putin ended it. That's why they hate him
I am glad to hear information close to the truth.
Thank God Russia didn't join NATO.
If you believe China is a peaceful and progressive country, raise your hand ✋🙋👍
Nah I still believe China is a dictatorship but I believe is not as agressive as the USA tell us
Hello from Greece. Total support to our Chinese brothers. 我喜欢中国，中文化何种历史！我学习中文！
🖐👊👏
🙋🤚💪
✋
Finally, at least someone f*cking said that. Thanks. 90's - it's not just a memory in Russia. It's a whole symbole of poverty, crime and military conflicts rising through previous soviet states. NO ONE wants it to get back. This - is the worst things we encountered, no matter from social class (well, except for oligarhs, of course). Thank you for your video.
I admire the Russian people for having a very long memory regarding negative events in their history in general.
We Filipinos has the exact opposite of this characteristics and that's why we keep repeating the same mistake over and over again.
Human rights don't exist . They are only used if needed. Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos have suffered these "human rights". Not to speak about Afghanistan, Libya and Yemen.
Pure evil nato war😢
'sphere of influence' is the key.. yes, the US wanted Russia in its sphere of influence, but Russia did not want to be in anyone's sphere of influence, because it was a great enough power historically with enough potential to have its own sphere of influence. The US could have accepted this and built a FRIENDSHIP with Russia on equal grounds as two equal powers both dominant in their own regions. This would have been phenomenal for the world, but greed and pride destroyed everything, as they always do. The US made its bed and now must lie in it.
Concept of “sphere influence”should be demolished to protect the sovereignty of small countries. Russian people usually are not aggressive not to accept the end of “sphere influence”, but 90s experience made them aggressive to the west.
I remember thinking it was so obviously fake when Kirby shed those crocodile tears that I bursted out laughing as soon as I saw it.
Me too (or "Jag med"). It is tragically comical.
There is a point i completely agree with u , international law based on order ,yes that's right , but the international law made by all the countries of world and recognized by those countries . i'm sick of westerners' interpretation of their own version of so-called 'international law' ,besides who authorized you to interfere in others' affairs? you are not the police of the world, you're not qualified to tell other people what u should do or not. i have no idea how long it will take to help Americans understand at this point.
American got a bad habit, it always take advantage of its super power to bully ,threaten ,blackmail and force others to follow and accept American domination and ideology.
You are great, you described the history of Russia and the root causes of the conflict so accurately in just 15 minutes like no one else.
Professor Jeffrey Sachs has mentioned this a few times.
Wow, the shit that they don’t teach you in these colonizers schools. Thank you for bringing this to the light. Something in the US would’ve never taught their citizens.
What do you mean by colonizer schools? I am asking because I am curious and want to learn. Thanks in advance! 🌹
Black man from the US and former US army soldier I love President Putin and Russia 👍🏿
Thank you for your support! 🌹
Europe destabilised Europe.
Russia 8th century, u.s.a 1776AD. So Russia is not new to this
Excellent presentation Cyrus, you are a brave man to voice it in the USA. Lets hope for a better world.
I have been listening to your analysis for more than 6 months and I absolutely loved it because of the transparency and truth you speak. Love from Pakistan and kindly speak about Pakistan current Gov which are committing human rights violations by killing protesters in Islamabad last month.
Vladimir Posner was like The Russian Larry King back in the day. He's a brilliant individual and worth listening to. Thanks Cyrus 👍🎯
i am not surprised. by this. Your report is correct.
EU would never have accepted Russia because it would have been totally dominant in population and size versus Germany, France etc - it was that simple.
The other obvious question is if the EU and NATO are so benign ... why do they continuously seek to expand ? the answer is capitalism - it is always searching for cheaper sources of materials and labour - that is how it works.
Appreciate your voice of balance, objectivity and integrity! Love your videos. Keep up your good work!
One of the best historically correct commentaries I have heard. Kudos to you!
Doesn’t it just make you sick? But ha all these Fox people will sort it all out.
I came here thinking that I cannot be more ashamed of my government. Where did I hide the vodka?
Us is the worst country in the world...😢
The leaders policy makers ideologues are the worst in the world . The country is amazing but the people are being brainwashed exploited and shat on…
Every country is beautiful, it's not about the country, it's about boomers in expensive suits.
Чёрт возьми, разложил по полочкам лучше чем в интервью Путина Карлсону. Хотя не хватает переломных дат типа Мю́нхенской речи Путина 2007 и Войны в Грузии 2008. Если всё время давить на пружину, когда нибудь получите ею в лоб.
Damn it, he sorted it out better than in Putin's interview with Carlson. Although there are not enough turning points like Putin's Munich speech in 2007 and the War in Georgia in 2008. If you keep pushing on the spring, you'll get hit in the forehead with it someday.
Had the EU accepted Russia in, they wouldn’t be in this dire situation.
"How US Foreign Policy Backfired" - Literally every single US foreign policy decision ever
I totally agree the point you say. It's very deep minded thinking, but very important as well.
It's also worth mentioning that it wasn't Putin, who built the authoritarian regime. Yeltsin, who is seen by many Westerners as a saint (and I actually saw some of them defending him, which is funny) did this. In 1993, when Black October (the Russian name for a constitutional crisis of 1993) happened, Yeltsin violated the Constitution over 100 times. It was proved by the Constitutional Court of Russia. He was also impeached by the Supreme Council (it was russian parliament at this time) through a legal procedure (because Yeltsin tried to disband the Supreme Council by decree, which he didnt have a right to do at all. The Council, on the contrary, had the right to remove president from power). But it didn't matter - the army was loyal to Yeltsin. After the violence and death of many, he rewrote the constitution, giving more power to the president in it. He did this all because the Supreme Council was actively resisting his reforms adviced by the West, which harmed the life of the population. Putin already had a ground to stand on when changing the system to his needs.
The West basically built himself the enemy.
Let's Roll
I find your podcast very insightful and a great lesson in debunking the west lies against Russia.
1. Pivot to Asia 2011 - challenging China
2. Maidan Revolution 2014
3. Russia sacked from G8 2014
These 3 big mistakes by stupid USA made, combined Russia China to fight america...
Thank you. Finally, someone like you started to explain who is the creator of the problem for the destruction of this world. God bless you and long life to the great Tsar Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
modern social media makes hypocricy obvious to anybody.
why tf u use it then ??
use Chinese SMs
I’m resharing so much of your content! So many people need to hear this!
If Russia was integrated, the US would have much more leverage over geopolitics today. However, the requirement was to pick diplomacy over warfare, even after the Soviet Union collapsed, the failure of reducing spending on defense and put it into other industries is why nothing changed, it's almost like the United states did not understand how to function without a major enemy. The defense industry needs a enemy to keep spending high. All this loss time and money is now coming back to bite the US. This is no different than Ancient Rome, if conquest is the only solution you have to keep the empire going. It shows a lack of long term planning.
Good video bossman
Not backfired. The US destroyed its competitor - the EU, and made them dependent on US LNG. They also forced the EU to waste more money on defense and buy new weapons systems from American companies.
Great channel. Great commentary.
Am a fan of Putin but didn't believe Him saying He wanted to join NATO but America refused. Now I get the logic.exactly who would challenge the US if they are all on one side. That would have been very bad business. For the military's industrial complex of the US.
It is for this reason that the deaths of Gorbachev and Yeltsin were met with regret in Russia. Many hoped that Gorbachev would share the fate of Trotsky or Gaidar.
Cyrus, happy Christmas to you and your family ❤
Me too.
Cyrus, I've watched your videos since two years ago!!! They're one of the most insightful videos about geopolitics on UA-cam!! I have a little feedback about the video quality. I don't know if it's my computer's problem, but the soundtrack of your recent videos sounds a little bit blurred and electric.
Russian was fooled 😢back in the 80s and 90s....but trust me Russian will never surrender, to the collective west, we will keep fighting 💪
As a Ukrainian living in Donbass region, thank you for actually speaking truth. US chose to fight Russia for no reason. Ofcourse Russia will have to answer, they let US and NATO slide so many, many times. Not in Ukraine.
17000 Dead Children None had GUNS. ?
Great Content Cyrus...Thank You.
Thank you for sharing... this Brilliant
Appreciate this form of fact-based presentation.
Please just one good decision the U.S. have made in there foreign policy?
A country doesn’t need foreign policy. USA have a “foreign policy” because their goal is to conquer the entire world.
The therm “United States” stands for the country under such “name” and the colonies that it has conquered so far . And not as reference to the so called states in North America.
Not a thing since before Woodrow Wilson
I don't know about such a thing.
Excellent and truthful reporting on this dire situation.
Thank you for your insightful analysis of the current situation in Ukraine and US
А Познер грамотно говорит на английском, и даже акцент зачётный!
Russians remember chaos of 1990th, when Americans "loved" Russia". Exactly. Thank you for saying that.
yeah loved in every pose imaginable...
Stand firm president Putin
