3:44 Poland is bordering Russia in Kaliningrad if u forget and Belarus is like a stubborn little brother to Russia, so Russian troops can do anything they want on their territories and that makes a very long border to share with Russians
I think you meant "spineless suck-up lacking a moral conscious" little brother who can't stand up to a bully. Ukraine is the willful, spirited, independent, strong, and capable little brother saying, "I don't need you! You're just a big bully and I can do better without you."
@@youareliedtobythemedia only 498 have been killed, meanwhile Ukraine has lost of 2000,they are just showing their own T 84s which were destroyed by Russians and then send it to Western media and then say "trust me bro"
@@nahfam5164 true but Russian civilization has been more or less the same ever after they fought of the mongols. Communism, capitalism, tsarism at state level the Russian government has always been similarly brutal and opressing. Partly is the case for Chinese too. Where this CCP is basically just another dynasty. Seen it be attributed to cultural inheritage and geological causes.
To be fair Poland is similar to Ukraine (historically, culturally and religiously) and the Ukrainian refugees are temporary, lastly they are direct neighbours. So not requiring visa for Ukrainians going to Poland makes sense. But in the bottom slide it shows countries that are very different from poland (in all categories). Also, they aren't neighbouring countries, and those countries are not going going through a war. So it makes sense to require visa from them.
Yes, but most of them were exchange students or foreignerers with a residency status in Ukraine. They have no opportunity to apply for a visa right now and couldn't leave the country otherwise. To hold them back at the border without shelter is simply a violation of human rights and segregation based on ethnicity.
Franco-American restaurants have been getting lambasted for serving poutine... a traditional Quebecois favorite. People think its somehow named for Putin who wasn't even born when the dish was created. Oh, we've also been boycotting "Russian" vodka... at the cost of jobs in Latvia and the US because it "sounds" Russian and therefore must be Russian but in reality, its not.

9:56 was one of the craziest battles in history liteally there was ottomams, pirates, samurais, spanish conquistators and even aztec warriors involved.
That joke about the American marine with the gun made of three guns is a real thing. A marine essentially hammered a Browning and iirc a garand or m1 carbine together so he'd have a hmg with a shoulder stock. His CO thought it was a tremendous idea, but only like two were ever made.
11:20 Also, I think Drew missed part of the joke here about the Great Northern War. Russia and its allies were the aggressors, as they had all wanted Swedish lands for various reasons. They decided to attack because the Swedish King had died and his successor (Charles XII) was barely a teenager by that point. The nation underwent a 7-month regency until Charles turned 15 and became legally eligible to assume the role of Monarch. Combining this with the fact that Sweden was unaligned and that there was a "small scale conflict" going on in Western Europe called the War of the Spanish Succession, nobody would have been willing or able to come to Sweden's aid militarily or diplomatically. In all, an unaligned empire, a 15 year old king stepping in to take control of a nation as the last surviving member of his bloodline, and 2 voracious neighbors in Denmark-Norway and Poland-Lithuania, caused Russia to seize the moment to forge a triple alliance and invade Sweden.
Yeah. As a Filipino its accurate. As much as want to know about our history. There nothing really interesting about it and sometimes we choose to ignore some of our events in history. "Cough cough" People Power Revolution. And aside from that we didnt know much about the pre colonial times here in the Philippines. All we know is the three colonizers who shape our country.
I just wanna say that as a russian, most of regular russian think that war is stupid. But we, as a regular people, can't do much tho. In this country even dog can be taken away by the police, so even now, when people go out on streets, our voice do not count. We all here just hope it ends soon. Stay strong, Ukrainian people 🇺🇦.
It's quite sad that it is this way. Ukraine managed to actually pull it off, but it was an internal matter at the time, so I guess the sense of urgency forced people to act more radically, so they employed molotov cocktails and various melee weapons (self-made shields, chains etc) against the police force. I understand the reluctance of Russian protesters for doing so, as it appears that the police force in Russia is far more numerous, but hopefully there will be some kind of rallying cry in the future to unite the people, so that they could stand strong against the regime. I mean, the war might end, but it is the aggressive imperialistic ideology that has to die (otherwise there will just be more wars). Only the people, through votes and force, if necessary, can make it happen. So I hope that you stay strong too. And please keep informed, it's the most important thing in the current situation.
It sucks. I don't think the world has anything against Russians as individuals but the people need to rise up against the tyrannical, steroid-raging Putin and his cronies. Government for the people, by the people. It's the foundation of democracy and what Ukraine is fighting so valiantly for. The Russian people need to demand democracy. It is on the Russian people to reform their government. How they do it, if they're willing to follow their moral compass, only time will tell. Some countries have done it peacefully... the vast majority haven't been so lucky. Your "leader" is shelling apartment complexes, hospitals, etc. He is targeting civilians. This is not a policing action or even a war... It is a human rights atrocity and a living nightmare. And lets not forget your oligarchs who rob you blind as a country and then lie to your "leader" about it. If they weren't robbing your government blind to buy superyachts and mega jets, Russia could import the food it needs, invest its infrastructure instead of thinking invading Ukraine is the easiest way to get grain. What you can do is stay informed and fight the Russian propaganda machine. Word of mouth is powerful. Social media is powerful. Social media is why sanctions were so swift and so harsh.
@@Chaotic_Pixie sadly, Russia is now aggressively blocking social media, and vice-versa -- various online services seized operating in their territory. However, there is always TOR, and there are various Telegram channels where information can be obtained. Luckily, Roskomnadzor has proved ineffective in blocking Telegram a couple of years ago :)
Haha. The blitzkrieg tactic actually relies heavily on good logistics. It's just that all the times it was used by the germans, they ended up advancing so quickly that their logistic train always fell way behind (same for the supporting troop regiments as well). The only difference between then and now is that the enemies of Germany were either too incompetent or otherwise preoccupied to take advantage of this fact. In the case of the current war, this is not the case as the opposition has no other enemies and is, quite frankly, only fighting on one front (not to mention arming its civilian population). If a western nation were to attack it from the west and force it to fight on two fronts, however, then you'd see just how effective charging in a straight line with tanks can be 😅😅😅😅
8:50 The joke in here is probably that in mexico (and probably many other spanish-speaking countries) rollercoasters are called "Montaña Rusa" which translated means "Russian Mountain" idk
Russia didn't blitzkrieg at all. They tried to systematically advance. Otherwise they would have laid waste to everything with artillery lol. But still, their tactics could use a bit of work.
5:03 It's not ironic, it's a consistent Polish policy not to let in masses of immigrants from foreign cultural groups. And they are genuine war refugees (women, childrens and elder) and not a group of men that are escaping from conscription and aggresive towards border guards
Poland has experienced enough cultural destruction and destabilization in the last 150yrs... they're allowed to have policies to protect their culture IMHO.
"Genuine war refugees" huh like the Syrian families fleeing from a wartorn hell hole are just there for fun. Simple double standarts. Just say already that Ukranians can be accepted because they are European and white, not like other filthy humanoids who will "replace the culture". The narrative is not impossible to see.
@@aysenur6761 could you remind me since when Poland borders Syria? I agree Syrian people have been living through very difficult times recently. However, there is a handful of countries between Syria and Poland where Syrians could claim being a refugee. And the most important part - the Syrians were coming to Belarus with tourist visas of Belarus. Under what circumstances could they be considered refugees on Polish border? I’m perfectly aware they were used by Lukashenko (and Putin by extension) and yes, they were exploited in that situation but letting them in would only make Belarus & Russia send more. By the way it’s yet another example of how evil these two governments are.
@@rabomarc I don't think that we are responsible for the urgently needy people only from the neighbouring countries. Most of the world is claiming solidarity with Ukranian people right now and a lot of the countries are very eager to accept them as refugees (which they should not bc they are from a particular nation but bc they are fleeing from being bombarded). Also, I don't think that the Syrians have that many handful of choices. We all know that Eastern Europe is not the most immigrant friendly place on earth. Im not gonna mention the names but many politicians always frankly state that they don't give a flying f about the Middle Eastern refugees. There is Turkey that has almost 4 million of them and it's not easy to go further into Europe while Greece over there throwing people in the Aegean Sea. You may be right about the tourist visa thing tho. I can't say anything maybe except that those people are not in a condition to be responsible for some evil governments' actions...

I find it terrifying I know the inventions they were referring to in one of the panels. Here they are if you wanna know: The Japanese invention is referring to the I-400 Class submarine which is a capable of carrying 3 planes underwater hence why it is referred to as a submersible aircraft carrier in the comic. The German invention is referring to the Type VIIC U-boat which were fitted with high-pressure toilets that did indeed require a specialist to operate. One of them actually sank due to the system not functioning properly. The panel with the Frenchball is referring to the Goliath, a remote controlled bomb device which was used to destroy tanks, but since it required a wire to be connected to the controller, it was effectively useless. The British invention is most likely referring to the Bristol Brabazon, which was essentially a flying cruise and while it only saw flight in 1949, development started before and continued during WW2, even though the company behind it was tasked with building heavy bombers. It was deemed financially unacceptable by airline companies and failed to get buyers so it was scrapped. The bonus invention for the Americans is the M2 Stinger, made out of the body of the AN/M2 (a version of the M1919), the bipod of the BAR and the stock of the M1 Garand. It was made by marines as a balance between mobility and sustainable fire. It was famously used by Corporal Tony Stein, who received the Medal of Honor and was KIA during the Battle of Iwo Jima.

China claiming lands that was part of China in last 100 years, the world: no!
Israel claiming lands that was part of Israel in last 2000 years, the world: yes!
What a hypocrisy
But everytime when Drew update, me: let see what memes Drew read.
Me as European can say that in Europe Israel in public debate is still contoversy. There are many people that don't agree with that. That's why they don't have support from Europen countries at they conflict with Palestine.
Yes oregon:drew durnil
Drew finding out that Oregon is Washington
Him: 6:12
How did the Ottomans reach the Philippines? Can someone explain to me? 9:47
The Ottomans came from the Sultanate of Aceh on the island of Sumatra which is now part of Indonesia
Also the Sultanate of Aceh was the power of the Ottoman Empire in Southeast Asia
@@compass187 I mean that it is part of the Ottoman Empire or a state belonging to the Ottomans
@@Hashemaljarah1
they were part of the ottoman empire
Also through their ports in the Red sea and Gulf of Aden they dominated the sea trade in the indian ocean prior to the Portugese and Netherlands.
Do people... usually not fry spam?
3:25 seeing as russia is struggling in ukraine, Poland's more organized and more modern army would probably wipe the everfucking floor with them.
Then america and nato is useless because they also struggle in afganistan lol
Usa is not country it is business
Road to 1 mil subs for Drew
Isn't it sad that Drew and company have to blank out text in a country ball meme to prevent utoob from oofing the video or even the channel?
Freedom of Speech?
Inhouse-rules of a private corporation. Welcome to capitalism!
Zamn that was such a video.
I find it terrifying I know the inventions they were referring to in one of the panels. Here they are if you wanna know:
The Japanese invention is referring to the I-400 Class submarine which is a capable of carrying 3 planes underwater hence why it is referred to as a submersible aircraft carrier in the comic.
The German invention is referring to the Type VIIC U-boat which were fitted with high-pressure toilets that did indeed require a specialist to operate. One of them actually sank due to the system not functioning properly.
The panel with the Frenchball is referring to the Goliath, a remote controlled bomb device which was used to destroy tanks, but since it required a wire to be connected to the controller, it was effectively useless.
The British invention is most likely referring to the Bristol Brabazon, which was essentially a flying cruise and while it only saw flight in 1949, development started before and continued during WW2, even though the company behind it was tasked with building heavy bombers. It was deemed financially unacceptable by airline companies and failed to get buyers so it was scrapped.
The bonus invention for the Americans is the M2 Stinger, made out of the body of the AN/M2 (a version of the M1919), the bipod of the BAR and the stock of the M1 Garand. It was made by marines as a balance between mobility and sustainable fire. It was famously used by Corporal Tony Stein, who received the Medal of Honor and was KIA during the Battle of Iwo Jima.
4:56 just wait until BRICS become RICS and a meme about RICS astley
Dam if only 1 country that starts with a K joins before South Africa

Been waiting for more countryball videos, thanks drew lol
If we’re going by the „invade for historical reasons“ argument, we should really, really keep an eye on Italy…

British empire: good day, chap.
(Mainly because we at territorial peak in the empire covered 26.9% and held 64 countries.)
Frank probably already told you but in Spanish, Russian mountain, are what rollercoasters are called
probably some reference to the Ural mountains
In French too
Drew is back!
He makes a video every day...
@@RedRocketthefirst he missed like 3 videos this week, but he's human like all of us and probably has other priorities
