This traitor makes it sound like Russia is saying it's the average homeless American that wants to destroy Russia. Even though it is the US and UK governments that wanna destroy Russia. But of course the traitor must make it sound that way so his anglo masters can say it's ludicrous
We do want them destroyed, at least the Russians in Ukraine,and they should not exist in a manner where they can threaten anyone, anywhere. They need to have many independent states, but no nukes,they are too irresponsible. I believe Russia will continue much as it is, the West has not provided real help to Ukraine,and the sanctions are very soft. Biden is a very poor leader who is fooled by Putin.
Let's face it. Most people abroad - absolutely did not care about what was happening in Russia. People EVERYWHERE just want to live peacefully and prosper. It doesn't matter if it's the USA, Britain, German, Japan or other countries
I visited Russia in the 1990's, when it looked like we could look forward to having an open and friendly relationship....until the oligarchs, and that little lunatic, took over, and made life difficult for everyone.... Much to like about Russia, and its people, but all of that has been taken away from the world. Sad, sad, sad...
Although I am Russian, but people in my country are very strongly being imposed a negative attitude towards the United States by the media, and this is a pity... As for me, Russia should be friends with the whole world, and not attack neighboring countries and unleash a cultural war🇺🇦. No war! Peace to us people of the earth 🌍
I'm an American and I can assure you that the vast majority of the people living here and most leaders have zero desire to invade Russia and loot your country. Many of us would prefer a good relationship with you and have trade that benefits both our economies. I, personally would love to visit your country some day and experience your culture and interact with the people there because there is a great history there. I'd like for the citizens there to be able to speak their minds and elect leaders they feel with bring prosperity to the country without living in fear of expressing their views or worry about their safety if they choose not to elect certain individuals. I'm only one American, but I can confidently say that at least when this type of content comes up in conversation with people I associate with, none of us want conflict with Russia, and none of us want to destroy your country. So, take that for what it is worth.
@@pacmanc8103 yes, of coase I did. Still, the original statement was "her english was very good", not "I could understand her". As for the punctuation - the same goes for you, egghead
I am an American and I am proud to say it. No one I have spoken to here wants to send any of our troops or weapons there. However, we believe strongly that it is wrong to send troops into a neighbor's country. No one here wants anything from Russia except for them to stay in their own borders and live peacefully. It is baffling to me that so many of the folks you interview think we have something against Russia. We love our peace and freedom in this country. I can speak my mind here. Our government, although bloated, still answers to the people, not the other way around. We wish only the best for all countries. It is only by all countries thriving that there will be peace in this century.
You really think the USA and the West as a whole are democratic and free societies? You must be kidding. For the USA it’s all about ‘you are either with us or against us’’ to begin with. That in itself doesn’t sound very democratic or spells real freedom, at least not to me. And what about the pandemic, the lock downs? What about the vaccinations that were pushed on to us and many people got really sick afterwards? Who made money out of all this? With the West it’s all about money not the people. It’s at best fake democracy, fake freedom.
I can’t help but wonder if the “well informed and rational opinions” happen to suit your worldview, rather than actually being based on information and reason…. Likewise for “the implausible”….
From Chicago, it is hard to believe the toilet level news we are being force fed. The news here said for like six years that trump was installed by putin...

The leaders of a country determine whether or not there will be war, not the people. When a dictator is the head of a country, they decide for other countries, if there is to be war. If the people have no say in the matter, with FREE ELECTIONS, they can only follow what is dictated to them, UNLESS they rise up in revolution, or are defeated in battle! DICTATORS do not listen to reason, ONLY TO FORCE!
Unfortunately, Russians do not know their own history. In the period 1891-1893, the only country in the world that helped the Russian Empire with food shortages was the United States. Even the great Russian artist Ivan Aivazovsky has two paintings on this theme. In 1922-1923, the same thing happened - the US was the only country that helped Russia with food shortages and thus saved 10 million from starvation. The entire industrial base in the USSR was created with the help of the USA, and in World War II the Lend Lease program helped the USSR win the war. After the collapse of the USSR, there was a shortage of food and medicine. And who is this country providing $50 billion in "Providing hope" program? USA, of course. Today, many Russians see China as their closest friend. Well, I have some very bad news for the Russians - China has no friends. China has either vassals or enemies.
Oh dear, u have problems with history in general Chinese system historically: pay us money but we don't give a damn what u do in ur countries and we see how they continue till today their policy. Business yes, what u do in ur internal policy - not interested. Unlike westerbs, they came, made gebocudes, forced their religion and etc and they still continue it. So no china is not a threat and never was
Several people have really thoughtful responses, and the last two ladies represent the "ideal" in life... delightful to "meet" your countrymen who have some moderation in their thinking!
I agree with the sentiments that you have expressed. Unfortuantely, in our lives as individuals, communities and countries, we have to deal with people who do not share your admirable thoughts and life values. The comment by "Vladimir", just the second one after yours, is profferred by one such individual. Filled with hate, vitriolic and venomous rancor, such people still have to be dealt with or avoided in our lives if we seek Peace. It is with much disappointment that we must recognise that not all the other people with whom we have contact in our lives wish to adhere to, or live by the principle of "Peace to Everyone".
@@denysecoop7356 The information environment in the West is nowhere near as restricted and controlled as it is in Russia right now. There's just no comparison.

The American government is not the heart of our nation,it’s our people. I suspect the same is true in Russia. Just because our governments can’t make peace it doesn’t mean our people are enemies. Thank you for the video! Great job
First comment I've seen making this distinction. So many people saying "as an American I never cared about..." as if that has any relevance to their government's long term foreign policy objectives... Would be interesting if the interviewer followed up the same way. I would guess that most of the people interviewed here when talking about "America" mean the state not the people. Not saying they're right or well-informed, but people commenting in this thread as if what an average American thinks has any bearing on imperial policy are just as deluded. Average American didn't give a crap about Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, or Syria either. Completely irrelevant to whether the foreign policy establishment has designs abroad or not
Also, just my personal experience but in my travels I have met plenty of Russians who believe in all kinds of anti-Russian conspiracies in Washington, but still have very favourable views to everyday Americans as people. It's a distinction I wish was made more often in both directions. Leaders and businessmen making war shouldn't be a reason for regular people to hate each other
@@СергейМонин-д7с That money will be used to rebuild Ukraine (your dictator thought he could destroy their country and there would be no consequences).

And to remark the appreciation, Finland is building a wall. All the countries bordering mordor must build a wall and make russia pay for it (i dislike trump, but the idea of making russia paying for it is awsome)
The fact that Finns think their fascist WWII leaders & soldiers were "fighting for their freedom" is exactly why Russia doesn't want Finland in NATO. It's only a matter of time before they invade Russia again with NATO's help.
It's a joy to see young people who know what's happening in Ukraine and why, but such a shame to hear older people who don't have access to the internet for whatever reason who are so bitter and believe everything they see on TV. The west doesn't want Russian resources nor does it want to conquer your land, we all want to live in peace and live in a world where we are unafraid of our neighbours and become prosperous so people can live in the comfort that they've worked so hard to provide. Great job Daniil
Lol, I’m not excusing what Russia is doing but the West isn’t currently a beacon of virgin hope in itself either. The USA especially acts as an empire and is known to invade other countries for resources. You are as indoctrinated as the people you speak about.

She knows how the society is being indoctrinated. There is still hope for Russia if the next generation survives this indoctrination but since 2014 the propaganda has been on steroid and it has reached every level of society including kids in schools. The generation that grew up between 1991-2014 is the only hope for Russia. That is people who were either born right before the Soviet collapse in the 1980s or after the Soviet collapse but were old enough to make their own judgments before 2014

That is so true. My elders (Native American) know wisdom very much unlike these Russian old people. (Not elders!) Its a state of despair for the younger people in russia I assume.
It does apply in Russia. The old people experienced how America tried (and is still trying to) to destroy their country in the 90s! They installed that traitor Boris Yeltsin and he sold the country!
Have you ever wondered why the United States refused to admit Russia to NATO when Russia asked the United States about it? Why didn't the European Union cancel visas for Russian citizens when they asked for it? Russia tried for many years to make friends with the US and Europe, but the US and Europe pushed Russia away. For many years, the Western countries themselves defiantly separated Russia from themselves and made it clear that it was an enemy for them. What do you want after that?
Yes, it is good hope for the future and the young. Putin should probably cut the internet connection to the world if he wants his propaganda to work better at home... But this time Russia will have to prove itself, before being invited to work with the democracies of the world.

Sort of neighbour that can't help but throw cat poop over your garden fence then cry about it when you punch them and leave them shitting their teeth out.
It's really sad to know the average Russian people believe it's logical to use war/death to exchange something that can be purchased 10000x cheaper with money.
This is absolutely completely true. Why fight a war a war if it is cheaper/easier/faster/more reliable to just buy it? russia doesn't do value-add manufacturing very well. The rumor is that they are having trouble producing the right kind of steel to manufacture replacement barrels for their artillery. Will we buy the methane? Sure. Buy the iron or semi refined pig iron? Sure. Nickle, Chromium and Baltic Birch? OK. Masses of wheat? Yep. But anything that requires sophisticated manufacturing is of course not under consideration. Why send people to die if you can just buy the bulk raw resources? Who wants to pay for the reconstruction of russian infrastructure which is currently a mess anyway? A poll indicated that 20% of russians have no indoor toilet. Yeah, no one from the outside is chomping at the bit to fix that - except for maybe China.

All russian oligarchs buy properties, school children, and let families live in the West while telling dumb population that russia has it best
these interviews mirror the conversations i had with many Russians while living there years ago. The young people didnt want war they wanted to raise their kids in peace. The older generations wanted to go back to Soviet times and believed the propaganda spewed out on their tv's nightly. How the big bad west is out to get them. I hope someday the truth will emerge. Not holding my breath but sometimes miracles do happen.
@@urbanurchin5930 Well, also in the "West" we tend to forget to tell that Japan was under blockade, trying tpo starve the Japanese war effort in Asia. So the attack on Pearl Harbor was a completely logical attack from a war-waging megalomaniac imperialistic military regime ruling Japan at that time. The US just were to self confident, and also applied their own logic, instead of trying to think like the opponent. That's how the US was caught off guard in Pearl Harbor. So teaching "the whole story" isn't a strong point in a lot of western schools either. So the story can be told in another way, from a Japanese view. And it is. Japanese are extremely aware that the root core of the problem, was having a military almost dictatorship ruling Japan, with delusional imperialistic ideas of ruling the rest of South East Asia. (As if Japan seriously could congquer China?!? That was never going to happen.) Hence Japan up untill lately, has been so extremely pacifist and weary of any kind of military, and guarding democracy, that it has taken decades for the western democracy's to convince the Japanes people and government to step up militarily. Incidentally, pretty much eactly the same goes for Germany. And in both countries, arguing for larger military budgets has not been a winner in any elections. Only lately, with China's and Russia's agressive behaviour, has public opinion shifted somewhat. Unwillingly.
@@andersgrassman6583 Fully agree... except one minor point. During the XIIIth century, the Mongols conquered first the Jin China (North), then the Song China (South), establishing the Yuan dynasty till 1368 (rule of China). In 1644, thank to civil war, the Manchu State took control of China, establishing the Qing dynasty till 1911. In addition, remember that Japan defeated the mighty Russian Empire in 1905. Therefore, with the civil war in China at that time between War Lords, Kuomintang, and Communists, Japan could envisage to control China, especially thank to a military superiority (and terrific atrocities, cf. Nanjing Massacre in 1937).
This American doesn't hate Russia or any other country. I share the opinions spoken by the last lady in the video. NO mother wants to see her children die.

@pamelagileno5483 Americans have been subjected to 7 years of intense Russophobia starting with Clinton's use of the British ex-spy's fictional dossier to prove that her opponent was a Russian asset.

The same arrogance of the US political elite and its MSM have greatly underestimated the Russian military and Russia's international support.
What you need to know is their track record starting with the Tzars up until Lenin and Stalin. Then read Alexander S. poems. All you need to know for the true culture.
@margotgorske6986 Do you really think that in the period of two or three hundred years, spanning feudal monarchy, communism and robber baron capitalism there were no changes in the culture and civil society of this country primarily known as Russia. There are in excess of 180 ethnic groups in Russia today. No changes? To dispel your claim, the architects of the Soviet Union were worried that unchecked Russian nationalism would wreck havoc in the new communist state so they created a 'Soviet' culture. It was manifest in the political system with very few 'Russians' ever becoming the leader of the USSR. S.'s poems would be easier to find if you provided us with his surname if you know it. Grossly stereotyping a demographic group by alluding to some unspoken character traits or flaws in usually the prelude to demonizing them so they can in the extreme be justifiably attacked and murdered. This is the opposite of @pamelagileno5483 compassionate post directing people's attention to the economic elites profiting from the death and destruction of a very provoked US Proxy War in Ukraine. I am not an American but have had a ring side seat at the newest variant of US anti-communist McCarthyist red-baiting that was used to explain why the contemptible and vile Hillary Clinton lost the presidential race for the White House to a Hollywood game show host. Her political party and the deep state used it to undermine his administration and his policy of rapprochement with the Russia because in his simple mind he did not see why the United States had to be the enemy of Russia. Ukraine has been destroyed, millions fleeing as refugees and hundreds of thousands dead because one evil woman could not look in the mirror and see the revulsive person the majority of Americans saw when they looked at her.
What I find so special. is that the Russians think they are an economically powerful country. Why does Danill not ask the question, how is it possible that two small Western European countries, the Netherlands and Belgium, together have an economy about the same size as Russia? This is to put the Russians' conceived 'economic' power in a different perspective
Russia is the 9th largest economy in the world, and Russian economy is extremely resilient being the most sanctioned country in the world, and it is set to grow slightly in 2023 according to the IMF. Looking at GDP nominal isnt really accurate as there are much more things behind the scenes, you should look more towards GDP PPP which Russia is the 6th largest in the world.

As Austrian, we had the unique chance to compare to being occupied by the four allied powers from 1945 to 1955. It turned out that USSR was far supreme in what Russians fear in this video: They were perfect in looting, raving, and illegally imprisoning for deportation into GULAGs. It took decades for Soviet-occupied territories to catch up economically.

@@histriamagna1014 Yes, Yugoslavia developed better than the Warsaw Pact. But Austria and Western Germany did still better. Communism works only in cloisters and without Marxism.
No government is made by the people for the people, as Churchill may have said "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” But even in the country where I am from "France" where we have a reputation to protest whenever we're unhappy with something I saw how it got worse and that ppl become more and more apathetic and lonely, the west is also facing an identity crisis and we may laugh at Russia for now but we might end up like them if we don't stand up for our rights.
Yes, I agree. Especially after what Macron just did with China. Xi is no one’s friend, not Macron’s, nor Putin’s. Democracies are the worst form of government because any time the majority gets to force their way onto the minority, it never works well. The U.S. was never supposed to be a ‘democracy’, but that’s all you hear our ignorant, stupid government crow on about…
What about standing up for what is right and what is wrong? It's easy to see someone's face get beaten, but to do something about it, is a different story. This is like 1939 again in Europe. How the collective West, stands up against an evil regime and doesn't back down, is going to have an impact on the near future. Peace through strength!

Thank you for continuing to give us a glimpse of public opinions in Russia. Especially the difference between the generations. Might it be possible to disclose the number of respondents in each video and quantify your survey? For instance, number of people that speak for or against SMO, etc? These numbers would help us all better understand the reality of public opinion vs. official reporting. As always, stay safe and thank you.
You won’t get any accurate surveys from these interviews, because speaking against the government and against the war will get you in prison for many years, in ungodly conditions.

I grew up during the Cold War, in a Southern US city that manufactured rockets and missiles. Our parents and teachers told us over and over that the USSR had our city no. 1 on its Nuke target list. We felt so important, so vital to America's security. Then the Wall came down, the USSR dissolved and the Kremlin's real target list surfaced We weren't even in the top 1,000. That's how I feel when I hear these people say, "They want what we have."
Resources in Russia don't benefit the average Russian much, their government just gives them the leftovers to pay some meager pensions. I as a Spaniard don't dream about Russian resources at all and we have almost none. I also don't think about NATO 99% of my days. The economy and free markets work differently. For example, Argentina and Congo are big, have vast resources and still their population is poor, same as Russia compared to its wealth. On the other hand, you see The Netherlands, a small half-submerged country in the sea, with 0 resources and they are capable of having an outstanding wealth. Actually, I believe that having natural resources plays a negative role at the end to some countries.
You're lying. If so, then return back $300 billion dollars of frozen assets that you stole from us. Why do you say "I don't dream about Russian resources" if your govenment chasing Russian money every day? Why do you chase Russian oligarchs? Why do you arrest yachts? Why do I get notifications of "your investments could be frozen" in my brokerage account? Use your own democratic money! You're rich and we're poor. Return back what you stole and we're done.

Why would the USA want to fight a nuclear power to access resources?

Why didn't the European Union cancel visas for Russian citizens when they asked for it? Russia tried for many years to make friends with the US and Europe, but the US and Europe pushed Russia away. For many years, the Western countries themselves defiantly separated Russia from themselves and made it clear that it was an enemy for them. What do you want after that?
@@46mrph Not really, it's just that minority states are most likely to join the army than other places. BTW, it is not really "minorities" it's regions, you're more likely to be mobilized in Novosibirsk than in Moscow regardless of your ethnicity. Kind of like how US mostly conscripted rural people.
Unfortunately, it seems that those who rise to power are either someones puppet, have too big of an ego where they make bad decisions thinking that they are always right and like a spoiled child must have it only their way. With the power that they hold they seem are either corrupt before they get into office, or become corrupted while in office... At any rate their corruption grows. Money also corrupts. Then they lie about, threaten others, possibly manipulate the voting process, or elliminate their rivals. I think that Bernie Saunders got screwed . Possibly Trump would have never gotten into office. What is going on in the U.S.A. right now is ungodly in the so called leadership department in Washington. There is no logic behind it. These people that we see here are wonderful, in Russia. I agree about what you said. I have a number of ideas. One really harsh one is that all world leaders and their mediators must find a way to create peace. Any country rivaling with another must make peace together. Otherwise top leaders and those directly involved in communicating peace would fail and be exicuted. I mean leaders from all countries involved. Horrific? How horrific is it to send beloved strangers off to die or to be destroyed in other ways during and after war? It effects the whole planet. It is better to lose a small number of people who don't want peace badly enough to fix it. If they cannot handle a position they should not accept it. I believe that peace would come quickly under these circumstances. I have my own ideas as to how things should be changed to make my coutries political voting , etc. better. God help us all. I look forward to meeting all of you good people when we graduate from this School of Life, into Almighty God's Great Beyond. I do like most people that I meet. I do love everyone, want good for all people and I am grateful for my and for their blessings. This is Mrs. Ace X, in Florida.
I want to give those last two women a hug and shout "Yes sister! I am with you!" If it were up to us, all wars would cease immediately, and young men would go back to their families. If a country needs something another country has, they pay far market value for it. Unfortunately, we don't run the world. Wealthy men do.
It never ceases to amaze me what Russians believe they "know" about American history -- Philippines, Libya, really? They bring up some aspects of history, which Americans have rarely ever heard of or don't exactly think of frequently.
To be fair, most Americans don't seem to know much about American history either. I mean, how many of the 105 wars/rebellions USA has been involved in (in its relatively short history) do you think about "frequently"? Every country has its own perspectives. Russians have been fed a diet of their very own version of Fox News for the last decade or two--it should be easy for an American to imagine how damaging that could be!
Lol, that's a delusional statement, Russia is China's most important ally, without Russia, then China would be surrounded by enemies on all sides and they cannot hope to survive any war with the US. Russia is key to China's survival.
It's good to see that the majority of the people in this episode are aware of the misinformation & manipulation. Now I wish that those in the west could be as aware of the information environment as some of these people. Well done 1420 team.
In reality, China is prohibited from investing in the Far East. Oh, come on, you didn't know, did you? CNN does not write this because it is not profitable for American propaganda.
I"'m Brazilian and that's the same preocupation for us. However, it's not really like that. War is more costly, WAY MORE, than trading resources on a normal global setup.
I have never understood the thing about resources. What are these resources that the world can only get from Russia and that, it seems to these people, the US is obsessed with?
Primarily fossil fuels, of course. Beyond that, it's assumed that Russia has minerals and timber. Some assume there are rare earth minerals that may or may not actually be there. It's a propaganda ruse regardless. The US moved towards energy independence after the Iraq war because citizens of both parties demanded it. The US is far less reliant even on Middle East oil than previously. As for the other materials not available in the US, there's already longstanding trading relationships with suppliers that have a long history of friendlier relations with the US. It's just a Russian xenophobic conspiracy theory. China has more need for Russian resources than the US. Far more.
Propaganda is doing its best to distract people's attention from huge internal problems and think only about imaginary external "existential threat." It works well for the older generation because that's the same propaganda they were fed in the Soviet times.

We do want them destroyed, at least the Russians in Ukraine,and they should not exist in a manner where they can threaten anyone, anywhere. They need to have many independent states, but no nukes,they are too irresponsible.
I believe Russia will continue much as it is, the West has not provided real help to Ukraine,and the sanctions are very soft. Biden is a very poor leader who is fooled by Putin.
Let's face it. Most people abroad - absolutely did not care about what was happening in Russia. People EVERYWHERE just want to live peacefully and prosper. It doesn't matter if it's the USA, Britain, German, Japan or other countries
I visited Russia in the 1990's, when it looked like we could look forward to having an open and friendly relationship....until the oligarchs, and that little lunatic, took over, and made life difficult for everyone....

Yankees invaded Iraque hoping to find chemical weapons but they "found"reach sourses of oil they keep exploiting to this day!
The leaders of a country determine whether or not there will be war, not the people. When a dictator is the head of a country, they decide for other countries, if there is to be war. If the people have no say in the matter, with FREE ELECTIONS, they can only follow what is dictated to them, UNLESS they rise up in revolution, or are defeated in battle! DICTATORS do not listen to reason, ONLY TO FORCE!
Sorry but ruzzia needs to be cut in smaller countries. And the same with you, and every big country!
It is not a war because there is only one aggressor, the other side are just trying to defend themselves until russia comes to its senses
Unfortunately, Russians do not know their own history. In the period 1891-1893, the only country in the world that helped the Russian Empire with food shortages was the United States. Even the great Russian artist Ivan Aivazovsky has two paintings on this theme. In 1922-1923, the same thing happened - the US was the only country that helped Russia with food shortages and thus saved 10 million from starvation. The entire industrial base in the USSR was created with the help of the USA, and in World War II the Lend Lease program helped the USSR win the war. After the collapse of the USSR, there was a shortage of food and medicine. And who is this country providing $50 billion in "Providing hope" program? USA, of course. Today, many Russians see China as their closest friend. Well, I have some very bad news for the Russians - China has no friends. China has either vassals or enemies.
Oh dear, u have problems with history in general
Chinese system historically: pay us money but we don't give a damn what u do in ur countries and we see how they continue till today their policy. Business yes, what u do in ur internal policy - not interested. Unlike westerbs, they came, made gebocudes, forced their religion and etc and they still continue it. So no china is not a threat and never was
That's right‼️👍
China will of course colonize Russia (and first of all Siberia), exactly like Russia colonized the Caucasus and so many other places.

I agree with the sentiments that you have expressed. Unfortuantely, in our lives as individuals, communities and countries, we have to deal with people who do not share your admirable thoughts and life values. The comment by "Vladimir", just the second one after yours, is profferred by one such individual. Filled with hate, vitriolic and venomous rancor, such people still have to be dealt with or avoided in our lives if we seek Peace. It is with much disappointment that we must recognise that not all the other people with whom we have contact in our lives wish to adhere to, or live by the principle of "Peace to Everyone".

Russia is China's most important ally. Without Russia, China would be surrounded by enemies and they cannot possibly hope to win a war with the US.
The American government is not the heart of our nation,it’s our people. I suspect the same is true in Russia. Just because our governments can’t make peace it doesn’t mean our people are enemies. Thank you for the video! Great job
First comment I've seen making this distinction. So many people saying "as an American I never cared about..." as if that has any relevance to their government's long term foreign policy objectives...
Would be interesting if the interviewer followed up the same way. I would guess that most of the people interviewed here when talking about "America" mean the state not the people. Not saying they're right or well-informed, but people commenting in this thread as if what an average American thinks has any bearing on imperial policy are just as deluded. Average American didn't give a crap about Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, or Syria either. Completely irrelevant to whether the foreign policy establishment has designs abroad or not
Also, just my personal experience but in my travels I have met plenty of Russians who believe in all kinds of anti-Russian conspiracies in Washington, but still have very favourable views to everyday Americans as people. It's a distinction I wish was made more often in both directions. Leaders and businessmen making war shouldn't be a reason for regular people to hate each other

They hate the West in general but want its products knowing that anything russian made is a junk. Hypocrites will sell kidneys for Western runners and iPhones.
All russian oligarchs buy properties, school children, and let families live in the West while telling dumb population that russia has it best
these interviews mirror the conversations i had with many Russians while living there years ago. The young people didnt want war they wanted to raise their kids in peace. The older generations wanted to go back to Soviet times and believed the propaganda spewed out on their tv's nightly. How the big bad west is out to get them. I hope someday the truth will emerge. Not holding my breath but sometimes miracles do happen.
The fact that even Japanese schools do not teach about the attack on Pearl Harbor......indicates that there is STILL a long way to go !
@@urbanurchin5930 Well, also in the "West" we tend to forget to tell that Japan was under blockade, trying tpo starve the Japanese war effort in Asia. So the attack on Pearl Harbor was a completely logical attack from a war-waging megalomaniac imperialistic military regime ruling Japan at that time. The US just were to self confident, and also applied their own logic, instead of trying to think like the opponent. That's how the US was caught off guard in Pearl Harbor. So teaching "the whole story" isn't a strong point in a lot of western schools either.
So the story can be told in another way, from a Japanese view. And it is. Japanese are extremely aware that the root core of the problem, was having a military almost dictatorship ruling Japan, with delusional imperialistic ideas of ruling the rest of South East Asia. (As if Japan seriously could congquer China?!? That was never going to happen.)
Hence Japan up untill lately, has been so extremely pacifist and weary of any kind of military, and guarding democracy, that it has taken decades for the western democracy's to convince the Japanes people and government to step up militarily.
Incidentally, pretty much eactly the same goes for Germany. And in both countries, arguing for larger military budgets has not been a winner in any elections. Only lately, with China's and Russia's agressive behaviour, has public opinion shifted somewhat. Unwillingly.
@@andersgrassman6583 Fully agree... except one minor point.
During the XIIIth century, the Mongols conquered first the Jin China (North), then the Song China (South), establishing the Yuan dynasty till 1368 (rule of China). In 1644, thank to civil war, the Manchu State took control of China, establishing the Qing dynasty till 1911.
In addition, remember that Japan defeated the mighty Russian Empire in 1905.
Therefore, with the civil war in China at that time between War Lords, Kuomintang, and Communists, Japan could envisage to control China, especially thank to a military superiority (and terrific atrocities, cf. Nanjing Massacre in 1937).
This American doesn't hate Russia or any other country. I share the opinions spoken by the last lady in the video. NO mother wants to see her children die. The financial elite pull the strings worldwide. It's a fact and we all suffer for it.

What you need to know is their track record starting with the Tzars up until Lenin and Stalin. Then read Alexander S. poems. All you need to know for the true culture.
@margotgorske6986 Do you really think that in the period of two or three hundred years, spanning feudal monarchy, communism and robber baron capitalism there were no changes in the culture and civil society of this country primarily known as Russia. There are in excess of 180 ethnic groups in Russia today. No changes?
To dispel your claim, the architects of the Soviet Union were worried that unchecked Russian nationalism would wreck havoc in the new communist state so they created a 'Soviet' culture. It was manifest in the political system with very few 'Russians' ever becoming the leader of the USSR.
S.'s poems would be easier to find if you provided us with his surname if you know it.
Grossly stereotyping a demographic group by alluding to some unspoken character traits or flaws in usually the prelude to demonizing them so they can in the extreme be justifiably attacked and murdered. This is the opposite of @pamelagileno5483 compassionate post directing people's attention to the economic elites profiting from the death and destruction of a very provoked US Proxy War in Ukraine.
I am not an American but have had a ring side seat at the newest variant of US anti-communist McCarthyist red-baiting that was used to explain why the contemptible and vile Hillary Clinton lost the presidential race for the White House to a Hollywood game show host. Her political party and the deep state used it to undermine his administration and his policy of rapprochement with the Russia because in his simple mind he did not see why the United States had to be the enemy of Russia.
Ukraine has been destroyed, millions fleeing as refugees and hundreds of thousands dead because one evil woman could not look in the mirror and see the revulsive person the majority of Americans saw when they looked at her.
What I find so special. is that the Russians think they are an economically powerful country. Why does Danill not ask the question, how is it possible that two small Western European countries, the Netherlands and Belgium, together have an economy about the same size as Russia? This is to put the Russians' conceived 'economic' power in a different perspective
Is this why life of Americans and Europeans became harder when they decided to fully sanction Russia?
Russia is the 9th largest economy in the world, and Russian economy is extremely resilient being the most sanctioned country in the world, and it is set to grow slightly in 2023 according to the IMF. Looking at GDP nominal isnt really accurate as there are much more things behind the scenes, you should look more towards GDP PPP which Russia is the 6th largest in the world.

As Austrian, we had the unique chance to compare to being occupied by the four allied powers from 1945 to 1955. It turned out that USSR was far supreme in what Russians fear in this video: They were perfect in looting, raving, and illegally imprisoning for deportation into GULAGs. It took decades for Soviet-occupied territories to catch up economically.
Not quite that unique , it happened in Germany too.
A friend of mine from The Czech Republic hates the Russians because of the looting. They stopped at his families 500 year old house where the whole front porch was a huge block of granite. They said this is ours and off it went never to be seen again.
Austria kind of deserved it, don't you think? Weren't you all too happy looting and raping with the Germans in the East?
Tito the leader of former Yugoslavia knew it. He parted with USSR in 1948 and he was right.
@@histriamagna1014 Yes, Yugoslavia developed better than the Warsaw Pact. But Austria and Western Germany did still better.
Communism works only in cloisters and without Marxism.
No government is made by the people for the people, as Churchill may have said "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” But even in the country where I am from "France" where we have a reputation to protest whenever we're unhappy with something I saw how it got worse and that ppl become more and more apathetic and lonely, the west is also facing an identity crisis and we may laugh at Russia for now but we might end up like them if we don't stand up for our rights.
Yes, I agree. Especially after what Macron just did with China. Xi is no one’s friend, not Macron’s, nor Putin’s. Democracies are the worst form of government because any time the majority gets to force their way onto the minority, it never works well. The U.S. was never supposed to be a ‘democracy’, but that’s all you hear our ignorant, stupid government crow on about…
What about standing up for what is right and what is wrong? It's easy to see someone's face get beaten, but to do something about it, is a different story. This is like 1939 again in Europe. How the collective West, stands up against an evil regime and doesn't back down, is going to have an impact on the near future. Peace through strength!

I grew up during the Cold War, in a Southern US city that manufactured rockets and missiles. Our parents and teachers told us over and over that the USSR had our city no. 1 on its Nuke target list.

That's how I feel when I hear these people say, "They want what we have."

Resources in Russia don't benefit the average Russian much, their government just gives them the leftovers to pay some meager pensions. I as a Spaniard don't dream about Russian resources at all and we have almost none. I also don't think about NATO 99% of my days. The economy and free markets work differently. For example, Argentina and Congo are big, have vast resources and still their population is poor, same as Russia compared to its wealth. On the other hand, you see The Netherlands, a small half-submerged country in the sea, with 0 resources and they are capable of having an outstanding wealth. Actually, I believe that having natural resources plays a negative role at the end to some countries.
You're lying. If so, then return back $300 billion dollars of frozen assets that you stole from us. Why do you say "I don't dream about Russian resources" if your govenment chasing Russian money every day? Why do you chase Russian oligarchs? Why do you arrest yachts? Why do I get notifications of "your investments could be frozen" in my brokerage account? Use your own democratic money! You're rich and we're poor. Return back what you stole and we're done.

Why would the USA want to fight a nuclear power to access resources? If they want oil the can approve the Keystone XL and get oil from the 4th largest producer in the world and which is currently selling for US$54.42. They could also get uranium, gold and diamonds from Canada which is, respectively, the 3rd, 4th and 5th largest producer of those commodities. With out firing a shot and paying less than a war would cost.
Nobody needs Russian resources.

Sadly the world works on irony, you should never give power to those that seek it, but only those who seek it will ever get it.
Unfortunately, it seems that those who rise to power are either someones puppet, have too big of an ego where they make bad decisions thinking that they are always right and like a spoiled child must have it only their way. With the power that they hold they seem are either corrupt before they get into office, or become corrupted while in office... At any rate their corruption grows. Money also corrupts. Then they lie about, threaten others, possibly manipulate the voting process, or elliminate their rivals. I think that Bernie Saunders got screwed . Possibly Trump would have never gotten into office. What is going on in the U.S.A. right now is ungodly in the so called leadership department in Washington. There is no logic behind it. These people that we see here are wonderful, in Russia. I agree about what you said. I have a number of ideas. One really harsh one is that all world leaders and their mediators must find a way to create peace. Any country rivaling with another must make peace together. Otherwise top leaders and those directly involved in communicating peace would fail and be exicuted. I mean leaders from all countries involved. Horrific? How horrific is it to send beloved strangers off to die or to be destroyed in other ways during and after war? It effects the whole planet. It is better to lose a small number of people who don't want peace badly enough to fix it. If they cannot handle a position they should not accept it. I believe that peace would come quickly under these circumstances. I have my own ideas as to how things should be changed to make my coutries political voting , etc. better. God help us all.

It never ceases to amaze me what Russians believe they "know" about American history -- Philippines, Libya, really? They bring up some aspects of history, which Americans have rarely ever heard of or don't exactly think of frequently.
To be fair, most Americans don't seem to know much about American history either.
I mean, how many of the 105 wars/rebellions USA has been involved in (in its relatively short history) do you think about "frequently"?
Every country has its own perspectives. Russians have been fed a diet of their very own version of Fox News for the last decade or two--it should be easy for an American to imagine how damaging that could be!
These "arguments" are coming directly from the "toilet-level-news" of Russia.
It goes both ways.
If Americans rarely heard about that and many Russians do, then Russians know USA history better than Americans.
You forgot to mention that the USA started this war as well, apparently. Oh and of course the US wants to destroy Russia????

Primarily fossil fuels, of course. Beyond that, it's assumed that Russia has minerals and timber. Some assume there are rare earth minerals that may or may not actually be there.
It's a propaganda ruse regardless. The US moved towards energy independence after the Iraq war because citizens of both parties demanded it. The US is far less reliant even on Middle East oil than previously. As for the other materials not available in the US, there's already longstanding trading relationships with suppliers that have a long history of friendlier relations with the US.
