Came here to rewatch this given recent events. Mike is always ahead of his time
WOW He is
Same, I watched this when I was 13 lol
I remember in Jan 2020 he was talking about a virus in China and that he was buying masks and hand sanitizer and I was thinking um…why is this relevant. He really has his finger on the pulse of the world.
@@AlejandroHernandez-sm1ev how old are you now?
Totally AGREE 👍🏻
You could've also shown all the U.S Military bases surrounding Russia.
USSR and US were nothing but a bunch of bullies taking territories and almost pushing the world into yet another World War.
@@hackman669 well said
He actually did, are you stupid?
US FIRST
India was first at non alignment
Movement
Then Us suppiles weapons terrorist nation pak, also started good terrorusm and bad terrorism...
Those bad, dangerous U.S. bases also surround Madagascar, Peru, Antarctica, and every other landmass on the earth. Who cares? Russia is not special unless You are a nazi who believes that Russia should receive some special treatment unlike every other nation around the world. Like Germans believed that they are special and hence had a moral right to invade and extend their territories into other nations.
Tajikistan,Kyrgyzstan,Turkmenistan,Armenia and Azerbaijan were also part of the USSR.
And the USSR did not take control of Kazakhstan, Ukraine etc. after WW2; they have been member states long before WW2.
@oskrrr92 yes.
@oskrrr92 it's okay if you don't know those countries.
@oskrrr92 you stupid? Ofcourse they are real countries! 😂
you forgot your own country georgia i can tell by your name
They don’t only feel surrounded, they are in fact surrounded
Still no excuse for bombing a neighbouring country. They should consider WHY all these countries are attracted to the West in the first place.
Nobody forced these countries to join nato
@@michalmurawski5040 Yup. These countries joined NATO the moment they got their freedom from the USSR after it's collapse. They knew this day was coming
And they will still be surrounded by nato if they win... like honestly what is on the on the edge of "almost" every border in Ukraine?... NATO... that feeling when you say you're invading a country because you're being surrounded, but just surrounded yourself by the very people you don't want to be surrounded by because you intentionally moved closer to them.
@@michalmurawski5040 Yes like invasion of Yugoslavia...
But hey... nobody talks about US' neighbours wanting their own alliance against the big bully America... it's always Russia's and China's neighbours that are so important they need to be part of some alliance...
Hypocrites...
Oh and look up Monroe Doctrine and see for yourself why NATO is the world's biggest hypocracy... especially after the promise they gave out to not "move one inch eastward" after reunification of Germany in 1989..
The situation in the world has changed rapidly.
Unfortunately, bringing up these relevant facts now is seen as treason.
Thank you for this great information Mike!
Finally a man who can understand what i feel
Nothing he's talking about is controversial. All of this is reasonable from anyone's but ruzzia's perspective.
@@Bambim8 not really. Nato is seen as a threar not only by Russia, Bambini!

Hey Mike,always here!

I like how everyone says trump will start ww3 but then they get mad at him for being friends with Putin.
Like who? Ukraine? Ukraine isn't part of NATO, therefore we have 0 responsibility for them
How will he become "Putin's puppet"? If you actually believe the story CNN spams daily about Trump being Putin's BFF.. you don't deserve to talk politics.
We should've just stayed neutral.
+privatebandana Let me guess ... because it's "fake news"? LMFAO, this one is not just a "story", naive one. What about the FACTS reported by the intelligence agencies? What about Trump openly supporting Putin and Russia over his OWN citizens (who he called "stupid" for daring to accept the facts reported by their own country's agencies over Putin's claims that he had nothing to do with the hacking)?
By the way, the US was not the first to be targeted by organized Russian hacking. Look for Estonia, 2007.
And you're talking about "deserving to talk politics"? While you take the side of a PROVEN liar? Pfff...
P.S. By the way, Hillary was lying too, with those emails and stuff, so I'm not taking her side by any means. The reality is that due to the 2 party system in the US, they had to choose between two liars ... and they chose the one with (direct or indirect) ties with their main rival (to say the least).
Matt G are you serious? He cares for his people?!? He KILLS people that criticize him and is accused of rigging the votes and kills the people who says he does. Please tell me if I'm wrong and state how he does care for his people
USSR didn't break apart in 1999
I find it impressive how Russia is still the largest country by far, even after losing its "provenances". It's a moment of realisation of the sheer size the Soviet Union actually was.
Backed by massive Chinese power
*Sad Pluto noises*
@@robertwilson214 you mean now or back in USSR times?
Its deceiving. Russia's landmass is massive but it's mostly inhospitable terrain. The bulk of Russia's population lives in the European side. The size of the country is Russia's Achilles Heel and always has been. It's why she has been invaded on average, once every 35 years. There's just too many gaps/hoke points to defend with nothing but flat terrain in the West making it easy to invade.
@@StevenSmith-mk5fg Russia's landmass actually gives an advantage to Russia. U can see this in operation Barbarossa during WW2. When Germany did advance too far into Russian territory and ended up encircled by the Red Army in Stalingrad.
You dates from 1989 are all wrong. Communism ended in Poland in 1989, we joined NATO in 1999 together with Czechia and Hungary. Baltic states joined NATO in 2004. USSR ended in 1991 when Belarus, Baltic states and Ukraine became independent!
Also Albania withdrew from the Warsaw pact in 1968. So many mistakes.
They simplified it so they didn't have to make an individual slide for every event, the presentation isn't suppose to be that detailed...
USSR ended in 1991 when Belarus, Baltic states, Georgia (country) and Ukraine became independent!
Georgia is old as coal, there is no need to type (country) because its fucking obvious. However there IS need to type (state) when you talk about Georgia in US.. not the other way
I agree with you, but some people don't know about that.
5:59 You have included Georgia to russias territory? Man, you had one job and you screwed it
He screwed a lot of things up when it comes to the map, but that was not what the video was about.
He knows & has apologised.
You couldn't even make a correct map of USSR^)
ikr. armenia and azerbaijan arent even included
@@internetuser9342 and georgia is missing too
TheLegend27 im pretty sure georgia is there
Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan & Tajikistan should be part of the USSR too..
Lâââ Did you seriously say something that dumb?Why....just why?
How can you even say that CZECHOSLOVAKIA joined NATO..By that time we were the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Learn that already, thank you.
Matěj Gorniak, ну и как? Всё ещё хотите быть в НАТО?

Czech republic and Slovakia a.k.a. Czechoslovakia. :)

Atleast you didn't vote Trump, he will most certainly cause a fucking war with Russia
Zachary Klump He's more likely to cause a war with China, but yeah, Russia is chinese ally.
No he won't he is actually the only candidate who wanted good relations with Russia so don't worry.
EmulatorNoob dnt you forget democrats never had any war in us history they already detsory russia in a good way economy
and remember republicans = war ;) always
EmulatorNoob I think the most likely war Donald Trump will cause is a war with Mexico
This is crazy how accurate it is to what is happening today!!!
I don't think Russia is scared of any nation all they want to do is live peacefully with equal relationships.
shaw Lingham ukraine, georgia and the baltics agree
Taphos any hard proove? if not this are just conspiracies mate. the russian soldiers in crimea however are officially (also by putin) regocniced to be russian soldiers
Taphos whats wrongg about georgia wanting to join the NATO? Yes the expansion eastwards violated treatys from the 90ties, but the expansion is none the less a DEFENSIVE treaty which russia answers with war? (which also violated treaties with both ukr and georgia, so stop complaining treaties are broken and everyone does so).
and were is your evidence for "CIA activities" against Ukrainian goverment? Maybe just Maybe Russia the country that threatens gas shortages wasnt so popular in ukraine anymore...
and your mind play about russia winning the cold war. yes that would be exactly what happend. and if the people in westeurope and canada wanted communism that would be their right and no one should blame them, just because the us sphere of influence would have gotten smaller. but since there were many uprisings in the warsaw pact nations, i think there would be a massive revolt against the soviet on west europe, but surprisingly there is non in the former warsaw pact states... could it be that live is now better there than before? could it be that people in the baltics have a higher standart of living than in russia? Maybe the people just like coca cola and mercedes, more than lada and soljanka. Maybe being part of the wealthy west seems more lucrative to them then sticking with reactionary russian, living (mentally) in former times of superpower status and complaining about the present day. and maybe, just maybe russia has isolated its self and is noow playing the victim card.
+shaw Lingham
Which is why they stole Crimea and are now trying to take over the rest of Ukraine while threatening most neighboring countries? Oh, I see you're a Russian government propaganda worker...
+Taphos
"And as i said the way i see it every action russia did in the past 2
decades are direct results of actions from the west...Stop being the
aggressor"
What Russian territory has "the West" invaded in the last two decades? What Russian territory has "the West" militarily occupied in the last two decades? What Russian territory has "the West" annexed in the last two decades? You got nothing. The Obama administration famously tried to "reset" relations with Russia, which the U.S. had been ignoring since the collapse of the USSR, and Putin responded by stealing Crimea and is now trying to take over the rest of Ukraine. "The West" has done absolutely FUCKING NOTHING to Russia, which invades and threatens its neighbors while engaging in propaganda campaigns calling "the West" the source of all evil in the world.
"there is no need for an expansion of NATO now that the cold war is over but some guys in NATO obviously want the cold war...Thats why they provocate russia."
The phrase "NATO expansion", another invention of the Russian propaganda machine, is absolute bullshit. If you wanted to be honest, you would use the phrase, "Once the countries enslaved by Russia were able to break free they obviously sought protection to prevent Russia from doing it again." No need? How are you going to convince the Ukrainians? Or anybody else, given your history and what you are currently doing? Your troops are occupying or creating bullshit civil wars in a handful of neighboring countries. Because it's NATO that's causing all the problems right? No one's provoking Russia, everyone just wants Russia to stop invading and taking over its neighbors.
"every defensive treaty also is an aggressive one"
You're willing to throw Communism under the bus but you still live in an Orwellian paradise.
Who made this presentation, is not very well versed in history and geography. Why Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Azerbajan, not in the USSR? Wtf?
lol he said the USSR ended in 1999
MK _82rus do u fucking expect him to mention every country that was in the ussr he said “Kazakhstan Lithuania and many more” get your ears open dipshit
Kieth Scott The map was incorrect too
MK _82rus and Georgia
@@tonycipriani6234 He said so "Kazakhstan, Lithuania and others" because he does not even know which countries were included in the USSR, since the Amerikans know very little about geography and history. I know better, since I myself was born in the USSR and live in Russia.
just don't mess with our best friend Russia....we Indians are not afraid to help....
Tehaam Hashmi but you should do something against your population and the hundreds of millions poor people, even though it's getting better.
And Nazi Germany showed what you can do against Russia. But Russia was in luck, because Roosevelt helped them, because he knew they were less bad than Nazi Germany. If America wouldn't have helped half the world would be fascist...
Woah, the Indians are getting offended. Watch out lol
What a great opportunity for Pakistan!
Charles Hildebrand yeah and the most important thing you can do is to not let your country mess with the SCO especially or you could face annihilation
Dude, I'm in the Navy and seen the type of arsenal we're packing. If you think your countries 200 nuclear warheads could take on our 6,000+ you're insane. Especially considering 1/3 of your countries population is borderline starving meanwhile your entire country's political system is all corrupt. You really think India stands the slightest chance? Before you could even send troops over, we got nuclear subs stationed all over your coastlines. Try again buddy.
Anyone watching in November 2024?
Yes. Terrified for my family in Finland 🇫🇮. NATO will literally be the death of us.
Poland freed itself in 1989, before East Germany.
kinda hard to belive but i can see why
commander demicleas Yeah but it's true and I hate the fact that most people in the west don't know about it.
ya poland hated ussr so much sence ussr conqerd it so its like being ocypid by another enamy so ya
No they didn't, do you even know what happened in 1981?
Also if that was the case then why did Czechoslovakia need a military intervention.
You should read about it or something before trying to educate people.
Good job. You are doing what the Media is SUPPOSED to be doing.
Like what? misleading people? He's doing that so he is doing the same thing the media is doing....
The information he gave is wrong. I was a child during that time. 1991 the USSR ended.
No winner nowadays in a war.
Russia has asked three times to join NATO. The first time was during the Yeltsin period, when Russia was most pro-Western, but all three times the U.S. sternly refused. Why can all other Eastern European countries join NATO but not Russia? Simply, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States felt unprecedentedly powerful and had to find an imaginary enemy to maintain its dependence on the United States in Europe and elsewhere. A peaceful world without a powerful enemy is not good for the United States, at least not for the U.S. military-industrial complex and the plutocrats behind it who control both parties in the United States.
Sitting next to such a powerful nuclear power, Ukraine should have been a neutral/buffer state like Singapore
Singapore has no natural resources, but as a neutral country, it knows how to navigate between powers and has become one of the richest countries in the world. Ukraine, on the other hand, after independence, either fell to Russia or became completely pro-Western, and even became a base for Western money laundering, and eventually the whole country was torn apart between powers.
The problem of Ukraine is not a question of sovereignty and freedom, it is a question of survival of the world. Accept the reality that Russia is not an ordinary country, it is the country with the most nuclear weapons in the world. I don't think anyone in the world wants to go through a nuclear war, but the truth is that what people in the world are doing is pushing for a nuclear war to come.
Doesn't excuse Russias actions. Yes, I believe Russia is pushing the world toward using nukes. Not because they're backed into a corner but because now the world is questioning how effective russia's nuclear arsenal is. FYI, the soviet union collapsed. You might not like it but it did. It's ideas and ways of doing things we're proven inferior. Russia can be a great country but not by reaching back to the soviet days
@@saeed7099
I agree that Russia can be a great country if it went with the western way, but it also requires the Western world to work to integrate Russia into the mainstream world, rather than shifting the imaginary enemy from the Soviet Union to Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s and just continually excluding it. as I said, Russia has asked three times to join NATO. the first time was during the Yeltsin period, when Russia was most pro-Western, but all three times the U.S. sternly refused.
Now, no matter how much you disagree with what Russia is doing and how much you disagree with Putin's ideas, the fact is that Russia is the country with the most nuclear weapons. It doesn't matter to mankind if it's an excuse for Russia to get out of the way, and it doesn't matter how backward you think Russia is in regressing to the Soviet era. In the end, the most important thing is how to avoid a nuclear war, but this is the most important thing that the vast majority of people who support Ukraine do not mention.
The two sides in this war are foolishly working together to lead humanity into a desperate situation without the world knowing it.
Russia wanted special treatment to join NATO, they didn t want just to simply wait like the other countries which waited a few years for their request to be approved, they wanted to join instantly, which I think it was a thought move because they knew they couldn t do that so they used that as an excuse to say "hey we tried to join nato but they didnt approve us"
@@DS-qt4uj no, Russia would be a shithole I've went the Western way.
Why? The West would bring false Hope of a Democracy, but in the meantime it would devide Russia, so the just could export all there Natural recourses like gas and Oil for cheap through western Cooperations that are fraudelent in essence.
@@sikexvk0 come on, men don't be so childisch like. People like your attitude thinks the West is the Center of goodness.
To be clear, a lot of the former 'states' of the USSR were countries long before the soviet union or even Russia existed. They have their own languages, cultures and people. Nazis were seen as liberators during the second world war by these places, to say they were simply a part of Russia is quite ignorant.
LondonSpade Yeah, I read that before the follow up units that supposedly came to kill the non-Aryans etc. squandered this friendly attitude of the locals, the first line troops were greeted welcomly.
To kill non Aryans lol. Show me a video when Htiler express his wish to kill non Aryans, and there are a lot of videos on youtube with him. WW2 wasn't about races , it was politicaly and economical.
Zavate George I meant that in a simple term. Obviously he did not intend to annihilate everyone. I'm talking about the undesirables, Jews etc.
Indeed, and Russia stole Germany's and Poland's lands, messing up their borders. The real Germany borders is from the Weimar Republic, and Poland's is from 1930 border. Russia is not so innocent like they pretend.
Imperial79 Comparing Russia post 1993 is like comparing Mongolia with Mongol Empire, Iran with Persia so on. We Romanians had hard times with Russians to, but after 1993 they were neautral with us, becouse jews were no longer in power in Russia.
Every time I go to American political videos I see so much ignorance.

Hello from Moscow. Thanks for speaking truth!
Mike your recent video, which contains the link to this video, is one of the most important I have watched in a long time. Your balanced and rational view is inspirational. It is unfortunate that, for the most part, it is wasted on the majority. They lack the power of critical thinking and analysis.
I note that your tone and demeanor in your most recent video's demonstrates how grave the situation has become and how it is at the forefront of your thoughts. I pray that you are able to take care of your own well being while you immerse yourself in these matters to educate others on the lessons of history and the dangers of ignorance and apathy.

Yes, also Georgia was marked as part of Russia in 2004
Exactly
He explains in a recent video that the correct frame was dropped, in which he says 1999. Carry on and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
He was mortified when he realised his error and has clarified the dates and maps. I believe he's dyslexic and has to memorise everything he says in a presentation with only pictures for guidance. And he's very good at it. It does no good to anyone when the point is ignored in favour of fixating on an obvious typo.
How about a presentation from the perspective of the eastern countries. How they can be safe without being part in a military's alliance. No country will ever attack Russia, a country that has 6000 nukes. How about Russia chills and let Belarus be a democracy, works to make the region safe.
U didn't even do enough research on USSR, Turkmenistan also was a part of it.
United Vlogs not to mention the caucus states
Yeah, Azerbaijan and Armenia. And Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are also missing from the USSR.
so instead of investing in peace and in the fight against cancer or anything else that would help humanity you invest in war.....
John Morgan first of all I didn't insult you so shut up...second I didn't insult USA...I just maid a claim about peace and war...also America is always interfering on the internals of other countries...also no today Russia is fighting Ukraine while yesterday America was invading Vietnam...and no bitch there isn't a cure for cancer...America is just using more chemicals. ...this is not cure because non cancer cells still die so shut you mouth you fascist prick
Not saying that the US should be the world police, but the last time the US stayed neutral I do believe it was almost taken over by Nazis Germany and the Japanese came and bombed them anyway so is it any safer to remain neutral and how neutral is too neutral?
Digitizeddragon wwr 2 is something different...because it was a war...we are not in war... (yet)...and I do not say it only for the US but for all the globe(including Russia)...i do not day that what Russia is doing is good but things can be settle down with diplomacy.not only bombs
American understanding of the history and geography :D :D
I know right LMAO. Armenia and Azerbaijan are not part of USSR and then Georgia stays on as part of Russia after fall of USSR. Can't take this joker seriously.
Armenia and Azerbaijan were part of the USSR, and now they are separate states and Georgia is also a separate state
I know, I'm referring to the map he's using. If you look at the map he's showing, Armenia Azerbaijan were not in it. And it shows Georgia as still part of Russia.
*National Geographic, Discovery, and History channel are far superior to anything Russia has.*
How would you know? Have you ever seen Russian programming? And History channel in recent years has turned into a complete joke. Either way your comment has no ground here because the maps he's showing are downright false on many levels, and Americans are pretty infamous for their lack of knowledge in the field of Geography.

As an American myself. I want a friendship with Russia, China, and whoever else in the world. I agree, who (wants) a war? North Korea needs to de-escalate and in the end Russia and China will be the ones to accomplish that.
doesn't change the fact that you're surrounding them more and more, at some point russia has to strike first
Sousuke Aizen why does Russia need to strike first . This is their conflict ?
A local conflict in Syria or Ukraine will be useful for our defense industry. Too much new weapons are not tested.
Wilson Guaman exactly nobody wants a war except the power tripping rulers that have been corrupted by power
Did a child draw the 1949 map? Why are the Czech Republic and Slovakia split? Why are Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkmenistan not in the USSR? What's with the colonies in Africa? Dislike
It's probably an overlay of territories over top a modern map.
***** it still shows russia controlling Georgia, but not Armenia and Azerbaijan right next to it. Also, Moscow is put much more south than it should be. This whole presentation, which probably cost a lot of money, is filled with mistakes.

Little remark. You forgot to put Turkmenistan and Tajikistan as parts of USSR.
Americans please don't spread propaganda. Russia doesn't want to start a war!
Let's consider NATO members:
- USA fought in Vietnam (one of many unnecessary wars)
- Germany started WW2
- Austria was pioneer in WW1
- Great Britain conquered half of the world during cross ocean expansion (destroying ancient cultures)
- My people were under Ottoman (Turkey) empire for 500 years
On the other hand:
- Russia, India, and China have never had slaves
- They expanded their territory but not by killing natives
To conclude, Russia has had their bad moves, but NATO members probably have had much more. Russians are mainly Slavic people and through the history, we suffered a lot. We learned that we have to protect our territory and our people by our forces. China is doing the same thing.
(Check how many Chinese and Russians were killed in WW2 and who began the war)
Класична Србенда
Both India and China had slaves, moron.
"Americans please dont spread propaganda"
Meanwhile in RT, Russia Insight
A few minor errors with dates and mapping but the general message this video conveys couldn't be more true. Thank you very much.
I noticed those errors too. The former Soviet Union countries had actually been part of the Soviet Union since its foundation in the early 1920s. And the USSR collapsed in ‘91 not ‘99.
Georgia wasn’t even on the map
Mike maloney understands geopolitics financial system's better than 95% of the politicians one of the politicians and 99% of the population he called this 5 years ago what's happening today so don't you think his call on gold and silver going to be right it may be a few years early but he called that 1 too If you don't hold it you don't own it
Maloney was spot on
Moscow isn't that close to the Ukrainian border, WTF?!?
The map is wrong this means the Americans don't know Geography really well .
The Americans themselves are scared, we are with you guys .
Look at a map, it is that close
Johan Bendiksen This is clearly a wrong map, look on google map or a map on your phone and you'll clearly see that Moscow is closer to the Belarusian border instead of the Ukrainian border....
Who are you? Some kind of Geographic Specialist, Tell me man, give proof that this is all right in the video, if you don't have proof then you're a weirdo instead...
True. Moscow is closer to the Belarus Latvia border than Belarus Ukraine

Onlyone Nobody thats why all cointrys promised they will never use nuclear bombs never. well at least that they said
Alterate Awful Yes everyone says that but keeps building them up. people say well nukes are deterrents and stop war because people are afraid of that. Yes I would somewhat agree but still there is a chance that some idiot will one day think it necessary to fire em. Then we're all fucked.
the use dropped 2 nukes on japan !! and they did it because no one else had them! so that makes america the number one most evil country in the world.
they claim it ended a war! sure it did! who in their right mind would fight a country with a weapon like that! especially after having two major cities nuked killing countless numbers of civilians.
That is bullshit
Do you know who "warns" (threat actually is a better word) exploding people and then actually explode the whole fricking town, regardless of everything else? The answer my western friend is: terrorists. They do exactly that...

Thank you for this conference !
It wasn't boring like many conference videos usually get, and I'm impressed of how much information I was able to learn ! =D
the USSR broke up long before 1999
I guess he meant the Russian influence sphere from USSR times, which collapsed with the Yeltsin-Putin switch around 1999. (Countries that were more aligned with Russia prior to that were now starting to get influenced heavily by the west so that they realigned themselves.)
It essentially marks the finish of the transition from USSR to modern Russia which happened from 1989 until Putins first term as prime minister.
However, when it comes to the influence sphere (in particular Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan) he was talking crap.
December 26, 1991
This video is so relevant today
"Look how close they put their country to our military bases"... wow, thats's amazing! How dare they move their country!!!
nicely explained and why the media can't do this sort of sorting out the issue is amazing!
Mike this video is extremely relevant now 👏. You looked into the past and foresaw the future!
If Nato invade Russia, fate is waiting for them like Hitler and Napoleon. God bless Russia from Serbia
Not if they learn from past mistakes.
NATO wouldn't have to. NATO would only have to use Nukes, but then Russia would use Nukes.
For Americans war is like a game that they are fighting on other ppl's land tnx to NATO. In that war nobody would win. Putin even sugested to Clinton back in the days that Russia could join NATO but then America is not in the lead. Russia would be able to vote. btw this map was 99% good if u look at south in 2:55 . :)
Yes sure
@RadTheLad EU was ww3
1991 when USSR imploded, not 1999. That mistake would be embarrassing to realize after the presentation.....
woulda miss read the text or brainstorm during multitasking and thought not correct himself, to keep the presentation on track Mike does his homework thoroughly for sure.
@Mike Maloney, the Baltic countries were only part of the soviet union
because they were conquered. Prior to WW2 they were independent.
Well let me remind you that these lands was a part of Russian Empire from 1721 to 1918
You must be a Russian. I am an Estonian. :-)
_The Baltic countries were only part of the soviet union because they were conquered._
Uneducated imbecile, all territories of modern Baltic stats were part of Russian Empire since 1721:
after Sweden has started lost a war declared against Russia, Russian emperor Peter 1 has decided not to invade the territory of Sweden, for to save face and the dignity of Sweden Queen, and then in 1721, Peter has signed a Nishtadt' peace treaty with Sweden weakened by the war, under which peace treaty countries declare the peaceful coexistence with each other, and Sweden is obliged to sell to Russia its southern territory (modern the Baltic states).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Nystad
In Nystad, King Frederick I of Sweden formally recognized the transfer of Estonia, Livonia, Ingria, and Southeast Finland (Kexholmslän and part of Karelia) to Russia in exchange for two million silver thaler, while Russia returned the bulk of Finland to Swedish rule.
Peter has paid 2 millions silver efimcs to swedes (efimcs or thalers - silver coins is very high grade, which were minted in Berlin, Leipzig, Braunschweig), each of which weighed 28 grams. 2.000.000 efimcs - that is about 56 tons of silver.
At that time it was the annual budget of all Swedish Empire, half of Russia's budget or the cost of 56 lyncors - battleships, the most powerful warships of those times. If you take the warships as the standard, then in terms of the day today it is - 300 billions dollars.
Robert you forgot how these countryes became part of USSR, it was Germany who peresent them to soviets, so there was no occupation. As for Molotov-Ribbentrop pack we agreed it wasn't serving to USSR people interests.
So it's not an occupation if two foreign countries make a deal about who's property your country is, and then factually drive armoured tanks into your capital city when your governement refuses to comply? Not to mention they won't leave for the next half a century? It totally was an occupation, and you're merely talking with the russian version of what happened.
This clown should be ashamed of himself. Unreal . We lived in independent countries with own militaries and neighbor communist Russia destroyed all of us in 40's. Who wanna live in some ridiculous buffer zone to please aggressor who managed killed millions when occupied his neighbors? It's back like it was and shouldn't be any Russias problem or concerns. OK ..now we all in NATO to prevent past mistakes . Where is the issue? Russia it's independent and can militarily whatever they like and so are their neighbors. Don't hear Russia complain about Chinese border were military is grown substantially and Chinese migrants taking over empty regions for their farming and other commercial interests.
Damn I was just recommended this and thought it was recently posted 😂😂
Wait inaccurate map I think? Turkmenistan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan were part of the Soviet Union (and Azerbaijan lands, but spell check keeps changing it). Correct me if wrong. Also Georgia isn't still part of Russia today, right?
and ussr did not fall in 1999 it fell in 1991.
You are right, the map is totally wrong.
But didn't Nato came first than the Warsaw pact?
Yes they did, Warsaw pact came as response, also when USSR fell, the agreement was, that NATO wouldn't move East, which they didn't complied.
Funny. If countries like Poland, East Germany, Baltic countries etc. really could make their own choice all those countries have joined NATO 1949.
Андрей Герман ... and russia agreed to not violate ukraine territorial integrety to get ther nuclear war heads back in the 90ties. now whats worse? taking your former sphere of influence where new western ideas just led the countries to independence or actually invading your neighbours for a naval base?
Till Moritz Vater hmmmm..... I was under the impression, that Ukrainian people voted to go back to the Rodina.....
Israel Moreno who would you habe voted for with thousands of Russian soldiers already holding key position in the country. As far as I remember there were no unalignend specialists allowed to overwatch the voting process.
In addition to that I sincerely distrust voting polls with crazy participation (90%+) and even crazier outcomes. Evenmore since they tend do mostly occure in known non democratic countries were there are often irregularities, such as PR China, North Korea, the former DDR or... Russia.

The fun fact for poland is they actually have more armies at the german border than the eastern border.

Sorry, NATO (1949) was established before the Warsaw Pact (1955). In this picture, it seems that there was the Warsaw Pact, and then NATO - NATO was forced to form. . . In fact, the Soviet Union once asked to join NATO and was rejected. So NATO was meant to be aimed at the communist state that sacrificed 25 million people to defeat Germany in World War II-and a former ally.
Nice and concise history lesson that explains just enough for the layman to learn.

The question is...why are Russia’s neighbors so eager to join Nato??
Is that because they feel safe as neighbors to Russia or is it the opposite?😉
finland just wants to be neutral
just me ...are you stupid??? The US is a member in NATO... is nothing they own or rule , they have less posts then all the rest of the other countrys!!!(the top chief is Norweigian)
Then to make it a little bit easy for you... compare the livingconditions with Warsaw pact to NATO to 1988... still today 31years later after the wall was bringed down the russians are not a free people to choose their president... people are thrown in jail because they have a different opinion then their goverment... journalists are killed if they expose some negative news about their precious leaders and popular political ”dissidents” are falsely accused of different crimes just just to make them not able to vote on... there is so much write about mother Russia, both bad and good...the people is great but they are fooled to belive a system that in the end just want to control the mass and system want as big mass as possible.🙄

red star we got U.S troops in Norway and Syria with Turkey illegally. For what?

Russia is fighting an insurgency in Chechenya and the older generals probably have experience in Afghanistan. They're also intervening in Ukraine. (Despite their denial.) Not to mention that Russia is bombing Syria at the moment and probably is the only other major power to have significant combat experience. (The other one being America/NATO.)
China, on the other hand.....
It's amazing the extent to which this narrative doesn't feature in Western MSM reporting of the Ukraine war.
It should show you the extent of the propaganda being used by special interests against your interests.
@@joshcourt1393 It sure does. Everyone I speak to is suspicious of NATOs motives, but not sure why. I just use Mike's example of Russia or China setting up military bases in Canada/Mexico. Then it all becomes clear.
I don't think the West is that stupid that they didn't see this coming, which makes the reason for doing it way more sinister than blind expansionism.
The expansion of Nato can be simplified as follows: The former eastern block countries saw the soviet way of life. As soon as they got a chance to join the west, they did. NATO is a way to keep it that way.
right
ITS OK, Bulgaria will brake you down, we may not have military , but we have good shaped stones.... Lol

Well the Soviets annexed the WESTERN part of Ukraine and Belarus in 1940 which was a former Polish territory
by the end of 1991 all of the soviet cou tries became independent. Not 1999. USSR dissolved in 1991 December 25th
If I were Putin, I would feel the same. US & NATO certainly knows how to find the right solutions acceptable to Russia, but it's their other motives and own insecurities that prevail.
Yes
Even in France the majority are against NATO and especially the integration of France into it.
We must not give Europe to the UNITED STATES! they are stupid
Insecurities like the former Soviet Republics in Eastern Europe remembering what it was like to be ruled by an autocratic state that invaded and occupied them for decades? And while the economy may have changed, that same autocratic state has spent decades invading its neighbors again. When will all those chicken littles learn that the appropriate course of action is to let the fun, peace loving Russians invade and annex them without complaining.
Tankies are so stupid.

USSR ended in 1991 not in 1999 as you stated.
As an American I appreciate people commenting on this thread, using your brains and not emotions. What’s going on today is terrible, but it’s just how it’s been for centuries. All I hear about is Putin is Hitler, reckless, a murderer, his people want to overthrow him, etc. While I’m not a Putin fan, I can respect his decisions, don’t think he’s crazy or just ‘wants his name in the history books’ as so many of my friends and family keep saying.
In 1999 USSR implodes? This guy does not know what he is talking about.
Vladasization ikr even my little brother knows that the Soviet union dissolved in 1991
Vladasization Okay, he made a little mistake. We know what he meant.
That is a major mistake actually. It would have been be little if his tongue would have slipped by saying 1999 instead of 1990-1991 and we would all know what he meant. However even his slides state 1999. Could this guy be so stupid to make the same mistake in both his slides and his speech without even noticing? Is he completely unaware of such a recent history he claims to be expert in? Or is he trying to deceive the public on purpose?
The slide was about the polish inclusion into NATO.
1999 - does this guy think that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania got independence restored in 1999?
He is so stupid.. 😂
Acts 17:26 says GOD lets each nation and ruler rise until He decided it is time the ruler and country must be humbled.
"26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands."
This is the real reason why nations join into Leagues or Blocs that then crumble and fall apart.

I grew up in the "Cold War", my father was a pilot in the US Army... I was really keeping myself update in knowledge of Russian aviation since I was in Jr. high school... By the time I was a Jr. IN high school, I was excited with USSR's ability of "Pulse Doppler" radar systems for their SU-27 "Flankers", MiG-29 "Fulcrums", & MiG-31 "Foxhounds"... They lacked this for some time & didn't know how they achieved this (espionage?). Of course Not knowing of our F-117 "Nighthawks" to have 1st strike capability through "Stealth", I was wondering what next... This makes me realize that we have technology highly advance & remaining secret not only to keep USA on top of the ball, but to also keep the American economy conditions good... We might even now have partial (or total) antigravity capability (TR-3b "Flying Triangle").... It's not being shown due to the collapse of the economy where the government gets a lot of tax revenue... If shown, this would cause the automotive industry & associates the feel a squeeze... I'm looking forward to the next advances in the US military... F-22 "Raptor" & F-35 "Lightning II" where Excellent... But it's hard to believe their age now (entered service in 2005) & the increasing speed of advancement in technologies....

The project in Romania was half way done before Iran actually came to terms about the nuclear program.
You forgot to mention also that Iranian nuclear program was not completely removed just delayed for several years, so at some point they will eventually resume. I say this just so we have all facts, doesnt matter if some obviously consider this irelevant because it would not suit their interests.. anyway lets put all facts out there.
Adrian A those are half facts. Treaty in Washington was for enegry purposes not weapons. If Iran does build nuclear weapons it will be a violation of the treaty.
Well I did read somewhere they may be able to resume nuclear weapons project after some of restrictions go away, 10 - 15 years. But hey I didnt see the documents myself so .. whatever. Dont know what Iran will do in future I do know however the balistic defense system was half way built by the time Iran made this deal.

yes hes kidding click read more.
IKR!!!?
Yeah, but you haven't addressed the real problem. Which is Russian imperialism. Because if Putin, or Russians, believe that independent sovereign democratic states on its borders are a danger to Russia, then clearly the only answer to that would be for those states to be non-independent satellite states under the control of Moscow. Which would be against the interest of Russia's neighbours. So the problem is not that Russia feels 'surrounded', its that kremlin foreign policy is, and has always been, a danger to the existence of neighbouring states. So until Russian policy changes, Russia cannot have normal relations with its neighbours.
