Imagine explaining this to someone in 1946: 'Russia are a serious threat but it's ok cause Germany is building up their Army and this makes Europe feel a little safer'
@@quandaledingle7812 Russia were monsters but in 46 at least they were the ones that took Berlin and killed Hitler. No one would have expected them to start a war after specifically mobilising to stop one.
Depends. It might startle people at first, but a lot of people did view the USSR as the next enemy even in 46, and if you added 84 years from now anyone who remembers their history classes would just shrug and assume a new collection of weird alliances. They'd probably be more surprised to learn that everyone in Europe was totally unprepared for this after 84 years of at least notional peace on most of the continent.
He has lots of good quotes about history, but unlike western leaders he's not cited often because he was from the enemy country. “Every society is three meals away from chaos” “The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.” “Capitalists can buy themselves out of any crisis, so long as they make the workers pay” - a version of "Privatize the profits, socialize the costs" “It is necessary sometimes to take one step backward to take two steps forward.”
But, I think those eventful weeks will have been prepared over decades. It's just that the events take place in those weeks. But clearly they do not happen out of nowhere in those weeks.

Holy hell man; the amount of research and the vastly different locations in which you need to pull this information from is absolutely staggering. I know there are likely multiple people doing this research, but such a tight and informative product comes out of you folks at RealLifeLore. Thank you for this.
I like the idea of a "holy hell". I imagine endless mumbling monotone nonsensical sermons delivered by a skeletal preacher while being poked mercilessly in the ribs by your undead pew mates as the tithing basin comes by, again and again and again.
I remember me and my class going through modern conflicts right before the week in the which the war started (of which we had a week off from school), I jokingly said to my teacher: *"Y'know, I hope Russia hasn't invaded Ukraine when we come back to school after next week!"* I swear to God.
It's so weird to me that we had all American intelligence screaming RUSSIA IS INVADING RUSSIA IS INVADING!!🚨🚨 Yet so many people were surprised by it. It's totally sane to be skeptical of American intelligence but coupling that with Russia's actions under Putin up to that point should have convinced most people they were right. I get why Zelensky downplayed it but we should know better.

I have to point out, that even though Russian gas comprises over 90 % of Finnish gas imports, natural gas itself is NOT at all a big component of the Finnish energy mix and contributes only a few percentages to the total.
yes, nordic countries have developed an intelligent strategy of using green energy in their own countries and selling their fossil fuels to other countries, then telling other countries they need to stop using fossil fuels 🤣
You need yo understand that Natural gas is not about energy only. Biggest 2nd user of Natural gas is Oleo chemical industry which translates into daily products.
@@ronvela well that's not the argument. The Putin shills are laughing that Europeans is gonna freeze this winter and people will be mad. But now you moved goalposts and say well certain industries will be impacted. Well boo hoo so fucking what? We need to punish Russia for their warmongering criminal actions.

Huge areas of Canada's prairies last year recorded a record drought which is huge since Canada is the 5th largest producer of wheat, making these situations all the more dire.
I looked it up ,Canada and the US together produce more wheat than Russia. Canada on its own produces more wheat than the Ukraine. China produces the most then its #2 India.
@@Crashed131963 Aaannd how is that relevant? One is that op said that Canada has faced a drought, so that makes her produce wayy less. Two is that Russia and Ukraine combined produce the most than any other country and countries combined even except China, but she isn't relevant to the discussion, and we are grouping them together because neither can export in the situation the two face. And 4, is that this isn't a d*ck measuring contest, when we talk about the world as a whole, even 5% less of anything could be detrimental to everything else. Let alone when we talk about such colossal producers of wheat for the world.
I am from Kazakhstan and the consequences of these sanctions are already being felt here, as Russia was connecting us with Europe. For example, we are experiencing a "paper deficit". We have the initial paper after being produced from trees, but I don't know how they are called, but things needed to make these papers ideal white have been imported from Europe. As a result, schools from example are having serious problems.
I live in Groningen, basically on top of the gas field. Recent polls have shown that a majority of citizens here now support extracting more gas to decrease our dependency on Russia, and I agree with this. However, this will mean that the government has to invest more into making buildings earthquake-proof and compensating people, which it obviously does not want to do. So it took years to get recognition and compensation for the damage up until now, let alone the damage that extracting more gas will cause. For years it felt as if the national government spent the money it made from extracting gas on things that did not benefit the locals at all. If we had been quickly and adequately compensated from the start, the problem would have been much less severe. But now I can already predict the protests that will occur over the next 10 years.
Can’t you make that EU issue? I would say since that gas will come as strategic for whole EU energy policy, there could be some kind of EU fund for such thing. 400 million people splitting the bill for damages to locals would have easier time than government of 17 million.
@@stafer3 The problem is that the government of 17 million sees all the benefit in terms of money, so they should be the ones to fix their own problems that result because of it.

It’s mind boggling to think that no one is concerned about sexism against men. The phrasing of the OP makes it clear he does not care about men. "... more than 2.5 million Ukraine, mostly women and children, have been forced to flee to country ..." That's one way to look at it.

I’m a farmer in Western Australia. In a cruel twist of fate, we’ve been unable to seize on the high wheat prices because of the incredible season that we’ve just experienced. Which has flooded the WA export terminals and severely hampered the states ability to get the grain out of the country. At the same time our overheads have shot through the roof as we are unable to source the essential resources (chemical, steel, fuel etc.) necessary to the ongoing operations of our business.

A Hegemon controls most of Europe, although this time through money (USA). 4.

3 things... one being easy to propagate the masses into believing what you want them to. Covid and this 'war' are a perfect example. The real war we're facing right now is an info-war. Who's telling the truth?
I trust Germany with a powerful military way more than i'd trust the US, France and the UK. This not conjecture, it's based on historical facts since 1946.
I'm in Poland rn I'm worried bc this guy could end the world with nuclear and atomics and if NATO tryed help if Russia attacks us he could do it and we are scared bc we are like a pipe line and Ukraine's are fleeing alot here also weapons from West go through Poland
@@AIEditz2 It seems like Ukraine is winning the war with all the equipment they got from other countries. Ukrainian's military is so much more organized than russians, after the annexation of Krime and they are defending, which is a huge advantage (not for the civillians, ofcourse...). Russia most likely won't attack Poland (too risky, both a NATO and EU nation AND the Baltic countries are an easier prey if putin wants more land for his delusional dreams of renewed CCCR) Don't worry too much about the nuclear weapons. Only a complete madman would use it in this day and age and they would have to face all the consequences (like open war with NATO, which Russia has no hope at all to win). Even then, look how much help Ukraine is given, imagine how much help Poland would get from all the allied nations. Hope that helps you sleep.
9:40 this map lacks the context of how much of each countries energy production relies on gas, for example the 94% for Finland might seem like catastrophic overextension, but natural gas overall is only 5% of the countries entire energy consumption.
Yes we in germany for example use Gas only for Heating, and it's not the Only Heat Source we use. it Would still be very Difficult but it'll not happen that residents have Cold Houses, that's imposibble. It's always overwatched what this Gas is used for and what not
@@scheto8010 well in Germany we have enough Gas and other Heat Sources that we can guarantee that Houses will stay Warm... Only problem may be the heating of some parts of the Industry
most countries use natural gas for heating. Though there is an alternative that was used before natural gas. Coal gas. SImply gas thats generated from coal.
Disclaimer: the images of broken houses are not directly related to the earthquakes caused by gas extraction in the Groningen gas field. We did have earthqaukes, but did not cause actual direct collapse of buildings.
additional disclaimer: the photo is not from Groningen, looks like a North American house damaged by a hurricane. What the video also fails to mention is that these ''significant'' earthquakes have never been higher than 3.6 magnitude. On top of that, a recent poll showed that 61% of the Groningers are in favour of gas extraction in Groningen to stop the import of Russian gas.
How did you manage to overlook Algeria as a provider of gas to Europe? Algeria is the second largest exporter of gas in Africa, it’s right there on the Mediterranean and has direct pipelines to Italy and Spain.
@@asterdostehhhh??? 60% of Algeria's gas goes to EU. 30% to Turkey, 6% to the UK leaving 4% to go elsewhere like Africa. Either they don't want to trade with neighbors out of fear for arming an enemy, or Africa just doesn't have a huge demand for natural gas or it doesn't have the infrastructure to ship it through land. You tell me.
Hey, I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm saying that it's very misleading when you say that Finland imports most of it's gas from Russia. This is because Gas is such a minor player in Finnish energy. it's mainly used for district heating and for some manufacturing. It's only 6% of all energy consumption of Finland. Were also at the beginning steps of replacing natural gas with biogas and other renewable bio fuels.
Most UA-cam creators usually at least partially misrepresent a lot of core data & usually only get the parts they are experts in, right.

I know you have to use stock footage, but the clip at 12:53 to show damage to Dutch houses is laughably inaccurate. You show complete devastation, presumably hurricane damage, whereas in reality we're talking about cracks in brick walls. Those "significant earthquakes" you mention are indeed bad, but I think it's important to mention here that the most powerful quake was a whopping... 3.6 magnitude.
A while back they talked about a fire at a chemical refinery that happened near me, they showed stock footage of the downtown area of a city a few miles away.
@@michaelb1761 3.6 is a bit misleading. Because the kind of soil in Groningen makes it worse and the fact that the earthquakes are way more close to the surface than normal earthquakes. That combined makes it a lot worse than a normal earthquake of 3.6 (Still not catastrophic but enough for severe cracks)
I'm thinking if its mostly damage over time that causes problems, like how houses start to tilt maybe? But yes 3.6 is laughable for someone in the Pacific Ring of Fire that's just the average magnitude of an aftershock after a magnitude 6 or 7.

You have quality videos, but the endings on some of them bother me a bit because the assumptions aren't completely true. There are plenty of videos about war, terrorism, genocide, and other 'dark' or 'controversial' topics on UA-cam that do not get demonetized despite containing real footage, images, etc. Another thing to note is that age-restricted videos do get picked up by the algorithm; they aren't necessarily the same as unlisted videos. If the video is from an educational standpoint, like most of yours are, it shouldn't get demonetized.
i literally had to look on another site for various educations videos on ww2 and nazi germany as several channels said translating speeches and the like caused community guideline strikes against their channels. i wound up on vimeo
@@im_cart8656 Huh, interesting. Maybe they changed them, but I still get recommended documentaries or shorter videos on those kind of subjects and they seem to be fine.
UA-cam doesn't "officially" tell creators this, but age-restricted videos absolutely perform worse on the platform compared to normal ones. It makes sense from UA-cam's standpoint, since age-restricted content = potentially not advertiser friendly content => if there's too much /the content is too prominent, UA-cam could lose sponsors.
Although this is true, anything that could slightly offend SJWs in any way will get a video demonetized and SJWs get offended by everything. Especially when it comes to education.

funny enough, China becoming obligated to purchase Russian natural gas may reduce their dependence on coal. and Europe is moving back toward nuclear and accelerating renewables. this could accelerate climate goals, unfortunate as the circumstances are.
Oh really? There are talks about reopening the coal mines in Romania. The big boys have destroyed the small countries then offered them help. Everything we make is exported to them. Everything left standing is now owned by foreigners and the chains of supermarkets are spread all around and they don't pay a single dime to function on our land. The economy is not improving because it's meant to stay that way. All the small countries are slaves the the USA and the other powerful fucks thay rule the world. I hope Putin keeps the pressure and shows the world that Nato is just a finctional BS that leeches off of the small countries "in exchange for protection". The world is filled with more BS than polution right now.
I am Ukrainian. Right now in Ukraine. I don't know what to say. Everything seems like a nightmare to me. A couple of months ago, I could not imagine all this. Everyone is scared. Many have run away.

I am so sorry you have to endure this, I could not imagine what you must be going through. This war does not bode well at all for the world we share. Greed and arrogance always leads to conquest, dragging the lives of the innocent allong with it's morally bereft ambitions.
Just a pedantic side-note: Francis Fukuyama didn't "unilaterally declare the end of history." His thesis wasn't "Russia will never pose a threat again" or "major historical events will cease occurring from this point forward." He wasn't referring to that kind of history: the history of wars, conflict, and historical change. That sort of history will never come to an end. Fukuyama was referring instead to the historical progression toward an ultimate final form of government. In *The End of History and the Last Man* (which has to rate among the most misunderstood books ever written), Fukuyama considered the possibility that, with the death of the Soviet system, viable and legitimate alternatives to liberal democracy had effectively ceased to exist. He concluded that the only viable, legitimate form of government left was liberal democracy. He wasn't wrong about that. All dictators worth their salt at least pay lip service to democracy, or claim that their system is the *real* form of democracy. And for that reason (among many others), such regimes struggle with legitimacy. Other systems (communism and fascism) do not appear to work in practice and therefore are not viable (not to mention the legitimacy issues they suffer from). Liberal democracy remains the only system that can stake credible claims to legitimacy and long-term viability, ergo: we have arrived at an *apparent* end to a *very specific* sense of history. Fukuyama at no point claims that wars will stop happening after 1991.
How did Egypt go from being the breadbasket of the Roman Empire to not having agricultural land to feed their population? Did something change the Nile?
Nile got dammed by Ethiopians (Wendover did a video about this), also the population of Roman Egypt was estimated at max 8 millions, not even 1% of today's Egypt population.
Back in 1980 Egypt's population was around 43 million, in 2022 it's 106 million! The country looks quite big on a map, but only a small stretch on the banks of the Nile river is habitable/can be used for agriculture.
I feel like there is one more part that is understated when it comes to the wheat situation, any area that has seen fighting that produces wheat may very well be destroyed, will not be in production for around a year after the war is over, and likely not at pre-war production levels. Meaning that wheat from Ukraine is most likely to be substantially lower for the foreseeable future - and this is not even mentioning any farmers who have died or injured and now cannot work said fields anymore.
Can we also acknowledge the fact that the biggest wheat crisis comes from feeding most of the wheat to farm animals, and that humans can be healthy eating just plants. If we ate the wheat directly there would be no problem.
@@Proxymated Yeah, plus a large amount of the food we give to animals consists of things like grass, corn stalks, and the like. None of those things are edible, yet they are practically upcycled to meat, eggs, and milk/cheese when served to animals.
8:32 Germany, and Europe as a whole, also chose to embed herself with Russia because of a new economic style of thinking: that if Europe's economies are economically dependent on each other, nobody would declare war because of the economic cost. However, this has completely failed, as shown in Ukraine
....I'd say it has also worked.

@@kenbee1957 but the difficulty on declaring war in the modern day isn't caused because of the world's interlocking economies. Russia planned hundreds of millions in foreign currencies and used Europe's natural gas supply hostage. It was the political and easily-accessable media that led to the harsh response toward Russia
People used that reasoning before WW1 occurred. To them, countries were too interconnected by trade, and they would never declare war on each other. They had no idea that the 20th century would be one of the bloodiest, most destructive eras of human history.
That’s because we believe that people are generally rationale and logical, which is furthest from the truth. We’re still the same people who wage non stop wars over the last century, generally filled by ideological, emotional and power hungry reasons.

Well, the thing with the German army is that it’s been neglected for years. Their condition is pretty bad. But it’s still crazy that the government wants to stock up the army this much.
One thing everyone knows is that if Germany wants to re arm then they are capable of doing it very quickly and efficiently. If Germany wants a real army it’s not difficult for them to build one. Germany can whip up a top notch military force in three to five years if they were so inclined. I feel like Putin made Germany inclined.
What my real concern about all this is the neglect of the environment. As RealLifeLore said the immigrant crisis was never so high as right now but will increase into hundreds of millions in the climate crisis. There many and many people have to leave from all over the world and not just from one country... This will be the real challenge for the next decades. So the decidement to increase the budget that much and to 'neglect' budget on environmental protection is very worrying. And i know the background, im a student of environmental protection and do my master thesis in germany right now...

Environmental protection agencies have been blinded by their own idiocy and are directly linked to the looming energy crisis in this particular situation...good job, go fix it.

the NATO is not defensive, the USA, the NATO leader, started "defensive"wars all over the world the last decades in order to free those poor people, and killed thereby thousands. That they deeply want to see Russia fall, does not it better. When there is a fitting time, USA would just again switch everythign accordign to their own wishes and needs and start a war, while giving others the fault. Thats what they always do. Also, NATO was created by the USA in order to be able to fight Russia. Another reason why Russia does not like the fact that they come closer and closer.

Correction: Germany forced themselves to become dependent on Russian energy imports by getting rid of and not further developing their nuclear energy facilities.
@@Crashed131963 Just because one person starts emptying petrol all over themselves then begins playing with matches, it doesn't mean it's a great idea for everyone else to follow suit. Trouble with German coal is that it's trash. Sludgy brown lignite with poor energy density and high toxicity. If Germany must use more of it, they're going to need to refine CO2 capture tech.
It blows my mind just how important ukraine is when it comes to wheat supplies. It's amazing how certain small countires basically keep everyone else alive and fed.
Lithuania also has an LNG terminal, it can supply all Lithuania’s need + exports gas to Latvia and Poland. Also, as of 2nd April 2022, Lithuania no more imports any Russian gas.
Florida sends love to Vilnius. We love our nato Allies. We just hope a certain ex president doesn’t get re-elected that he wouldn’t abandon our Baltic brothers to a fascist Russia because the leader of Russia has a video of him pissing on Russian prostitutes. Allegedly
8:33 "Germany has had no other choice but to import..." Well, this is so not true. Germany, due to powerful lobbying, was shutting down its nuclear power plants (because reasons) to be replaced with Russian gas. That is why they have built Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. Utterly dangerous energy strategy that was probably fueled (pun not intended) by Moscow.
The problem is that not much will change with nuclear energy because even there a significant part of the uranium was supplied by Russia. The only difference is that there is no need for a continuous supply.
@@szymonokun9841 Uranium yes, but no raw uranium is being fed into the reactor. The fuel must have certain parameters and switching to another manufacturer is not a completely trivial matter.
@ Merkel wanted to bring Russia into the globalist system. She hoped that, once integrated, they could be forced to tow the line. Being heavily integrated with the west's financial system is exactly what allows USA, UK and other western countries to implement effective sanctions, but Putin is liberating Russia from the need to be involved with the west, thus taking back Russian sovereignty. Merkel didn't count on Putin implementing measures to increase Russia's self-sufficiency, even as Europe handed theirs over to Russia. Russia now produces most of what it needs domestically. What it doesn't produce domestically, it can get from friendly countries, like China and India. Just look at the Ruble - Yes, it took a hit when the sanctions were imposed, but it has almost fully recovered already to where it was before this round of sanctions in the few weeks that have passed since. Blocking SOME Russian banks from SWIFT (not the ones Europe needs to pay for Russia's biggest exports - oil and gas) is just leading to the development of alternative inter-bank messaging systems, such as the one China has developed. Russia even developed a small one of their own. Russia and China are quickly abandoning the western economic order, and as they do, sanctions do less and less damage to them. Other countries are increasingly following their lead. What next? After USA and the west abused their position as leaders of the global order, other countries are revolting and building a whole new one. The US/Western Empire is crumbling, and the Sino-Russian empire is rising.
It's the same problem in Spain. Only France seems to have the right idea with nuclear plants, which is why electricity is so cheap there compared to the skyrocketing prices in the rest of Europe

For anyone wondering, the imagery at 12:58 is absolutely not from the Netherlands. The earthquakes in Groningen are minor and mostly cause cracks in houses, making them possibly unsafe to live in. That protest was also not filmed in the Netherlands. Edit: Damn, how on earth have I started a fight in this comment chain? I was just pointing out that this is probably stock footage from different places.
They are both non-Dutch stock footage. It seems UA-cam deletes replies that contain links, so here are keywords you can use to find them with: Destroyed Homes Stock Video FOOTAGE / CROWD / Angry People In Banners On City Street. Anger Crowd At Political Strike Closeup.
The "subsidence earthquake" footage is storm damage from tornadoes in the U.S. The protest/riot footage is from Parisian unrest a few years ago. This is a popular thing to do here in the U.S. to try to show that Netherlands is a hot, raging mess with blood in the streets. It feeds the far right prejudices here.

nuclear? really? as if Europe does not have enough "tactical targets" right now? Nuclear power is exceptionally efficient, however Nuclear power plants are tactical targets. imagine what if the whole of Europe would've relied on Nuclear power stations, and pissed off the wrong country? a single attack of tactical ballistic missile strikes on all European nuclear power plants would be DEVASTATING. not only with Europe lose its ability to produce electricity, it would also become almost completely uninhabitable due to something like that. then the problem with solar energy is that solar energy is not very efficient, and it is also only suitable for very specific regions of the world - dry deserts where it almost never rains and it is always sunny. Europe has none of that, and even Spain and Portugal which are the most "desertish" countries in Europe are not completely suitable to rely on solar energy. the problem with wind is, again it is not suitable for every region, and it is also not efficient enough to rely on, additionally the maintenance costs of wind turbines and the life expectancy of a wind turbine themselves are very costly. the problem with hydroelectric is also, it is not suitable for every region, while it is actually quite efficient you have to rely on natural water streams with a fast enough current for a good hydroelectric dam to be very efficient, and like i wrote above not every place in Europe is suitable for hydroelectric power. realistically the only REAL solution for Europe is to just produce or import natural gas themselves, in fact i don't see why wouldn't it be possible for Europe to create a Trans-Atlantic gas pipeline network from the US to Europe? after all the distance between France to England is negligible, and from England to Greenland is shorter than the distance from St. Petersburg to Germany with the Nordstream 1 pipeline, and the distance from Greenland to Canada is also not that far, and from Canada to the US a network of ground gas pipes wouldn't even be a problem. yeah it would be exceptionally expensive to create a pipeline like that, but once it is done, Europe does not need to rely on ANYONE but its actual allies for energy... additionally, if Russia and China do make a deal for gas supply, China would become Russia's biggest importer of natural gas by a huge margin over Europe, 750 million people vs 1.4 billion people is not even a fair comparison lol and don't forget that if Russia gets the deal with the Chinese, they could then use that deal to also create a pipeline to India and make a deal with them as well. so realistically, its more like 750 million vs 2.8 billion, so i think Russia will be fine lol
Ehhhhhh.... 'Dependant' is a very strong word, it's just cheaper gas. Germany was Russias biggest customer and in less than a year later they don't buy a single drop from Russia and their energy output was still more than enough to send some to France. If anything Russia became 'dependant' on Europe to keep it's one note economy afloat.
6:15 "what I will now always refer to as the Cold War's first phase..." If you step back far enough you can argue that WW1 and WW2 are parts of one world war with a 20-year armistice in the middle, but while the line-ups of countries on both sides are roughly the same, there are such important differences in the conflicts that it makes more sense to treat them as related but distinct. Similarly, historians will probably give what will follow a new name. _Maybe_ the second cold war, or maybe something else.
Hell i can see in the future this will be just thought of as one giant world war. Technically WW1 still haunts us today as many modern conflicts are happening from border disputes drawn up at the end of WW1.
It's easy to speculate in the springtime. But when it's -20 degrees, I don't think it matters where the heat source comes from. Ideology is pointless when your taxpayers are froze.
WWI and WWII is the second thirty year war. The list of conflicts which occurred in the interwar years is staggering. Yhe Polish-Soviet war, to the French occupation of the Rhineland to the Sino-Japanese war. You can make a very long list of conflicts happening across the globe, and you'll see that it never stopped, just lowered in intensity from the highs in 1914-1918 (at least in Europe).
While I appreciate your confidence in a revitalized Bundeswehr, I seriously doubt it will work all that well, considering the difficulties with the procurement process. But I will admit that general opinion towards the Bundeswehr has changed in the last few weeks, which is surprising, considering I still remember the demonstration at our oath ceremony
His "third largest budget in the world" statement is misleading, as while Russia's budget is smaller, they can get more bang for their buck than Germany, as labor and resources are much cheaper in Russia. Germany's budget may be bigger, but it their army will be much more expensive.
@@matthewslentz5481 Russias army is absolute garbage as proven by how this invasion has gone, I suspect France even with less spending is already a pretty good match for Russia. Germany if they actually invest properly - and also invest no just in equipment but in more training exercises with the rest of NATO - will undoubtedly surpass Russia within the decade. Especially with how much Russian equipment is being wrecked and the fact Russia is about to default.
Bundeswehr is managed quite badly, from general decisions down to the indivudual soldier. I've heard from friends how much they got buried in (redundant) Paperwork and how inefficient many processes are. A lot of money will pay for some better equipment, but it won't make it the worlds third strongest army.
@@LordDeathNote Oh I'm not claiming that Russia would be able to defeat Germany in a conventional ground fight. Throughout history, the army of higher quality has consistently beaten the army of higher quantity. I'm simply saying that the German budget, while impressive on paper, in actuality won't make a significant difference on the balance of power in Europe. $100 billion dollars is significant, but European reliance on the United States for military defense will continue for the foreseeable future, even with the boost.

I remember in school I did this project on how the world is connected in a complex way and that a potential war will be catastrophic. And that no country would be dumb enough to destroy this global system of trading. Boy was I wrong and right. Jesus people, I was in high school and 15 year old. I was not mature enough to understand how world works. I had an optimistic mind back than. So stop blaming my younger self for thinking people are not dumb enough to start a war that might end all of humanity.
Yes you were extremely naive. We who grew up during the cold war and witnessed all our factories shut down to go to China. We new world war 3 was going to happen. And guess what the united States is not in a position to win. We are on china's tit for all our consumer goods. Russia controls Europe with it's fuel. And on top of we under NATO contract to defend western Europe that has zero resources or military 🪖 strength of there own. How are we supposed to win this? With gay pride parades? Lol 😂. You were 🧠 brain washed by your liberal teachers.
This is quite obvious that globalization puts the economy at risk in case of a major conflict. Many think Russia is at war with Ukraine, but they're actually at war with the Western economy. And it's for the people to suffer in both sides. The rich are still rich, the poor are poorer.
Indeed, lets not forget "outside forces" overthrowing the govt of ukraine in 2014. Some here go deep n dirty there, theyll do anything not to be exposed. Have a look at patrick lancaster hes been there for the last 8 years. Funny how many views this vids got. 🤔
@@ByZHellas I think Putin was under lots of pressure domestically. A war distracts his people and his propaganda machine whips them up into nationalist and false patriotic frenzy. I don't know what the past eight years have to do with Putin's illegal invasion. Russia has always been invading an taking from their neighbors.
I note how you're referring to this as the continuation of the cold war, rather than the second cold war. I'm not saying you're wrong, you probably have better arguments than me, but I think it should be called the second cold war, just like the second world war was not a continuation of the first. While the belligerent is the same country (Russia), this was also true for WWII. But the government had completely changed, the reasons for the war had changed, the geographical boundaries have changed, there have been huge leaps in technology, and many countries have changed allegiances. Just like with WWI and WWII.
@@kp-legacy-5477 you're right, and this cold war is happening because of how the previous cold war ended. But the current consensus is that they were separate wars. But it might not be this way forever. My former history professor has argued that they could be seen as the one conflict, and when you zoom out and look at the broader geopolitical questions that went unanswered after the creation of the unified German state, that's how some future historians will see it. I don't agree, I think WWII had almost nothing to do with German unification. So RLL is not being insane here, it's a fair argument. I just don't agree.
Defeated enemy, nominal democratization, weak parliamentary government, then a slow rise to power of an autocratic ruler motivated by dominating and racially changing Eastern Europe, Western Allies that never saw the threat and capitulated in test invasions for fear of disrupting lucrative post-war financial ties, hideously optimistic assessments of military success followed by purges of the military officer class .... Call it what you will, the parallels are striking.
Let me remind you that American sanctions never been removed from Russia (and USSR) even after USSR collapsed. Instead, USA moved NATO to Russian boarders. So if you'd say it's a cold war 2, you have to find a moment when cold war 1 was finished. The thing is: it wasn't.
@@risulight The USA didn't move NATO to Russian Borders, the Russian border states moved NATO to them. And you'd think all the pictures of Clinton and Yeltsin laughing their asses off together is indictive that that Cold War was over.
So glad I don't have to ingest the chaotic breadcrumbs on this subject handed to us over biased media. Good job on putting it together for us so we can understand the big picture.
Wait until the germans sit in the dark and cold. They'll become restless soon enough. And nobody wants an unstable, unpredictable Germany. They might freeze obedient to their masters. Or they might revolt. And that would probably be bad for Europe.
Germans are supposed to be so smart. Why would they make themselves so dependent on a non-friendly and non-allied nation for it's oil? It could've just bought from the US. We have more oil and natural gas than we know what to do with, we could totally supply Europe with the stuff, Canada too as they have even more than we do. Basically, North America is overflowing with the very stuff Europe needs so badly but instead of buying from us, their friends and allies, they buy from Russia? wtf
Bold. Overdue, but it’s hard to blame them. Decoupling themselves from Russia is an expensive proposition. But Putin has proved himself volatile, vindictive, and untrustworthy. Only an idiot wants to be in bed with Russia at this point. And the cynical Chinese government happy for the west to pay any price for opportunities for Chinese domination.
humans were “ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, (and) covetous.” Machiavelli argued that man had the ability to be good, but he was only good when it was in his own self- interest to do so.
What’s interesting here is being a good man is great in the long-term but when people have to force themselves to be good they only do it because they foresee just doing it temporarily
"The Cold War's first phase." That hit me hard. The reality that after this war ends, we will have entered the Cold War yet again. It hits hard. The fear of WW3 and nuclear annihilation was something that I thought I would never have to face in my life, it's now become a reality. The Cold War is now both in history and in current events. May God help us all.
Russia's illegal, brutal annexation of Ukrainian Crimea started this. The world looked the other way and appeased Putin. We got what we fucking deserved for that...
9:55 I would like to point out, you neglected to include the huge offshore natural gas reserves of CRIMEA and UKRAINE. Reserves which are reportedly up to 10-15% of the world's supply and which would have represented, prior to Russia's invasion of Crimea in 2014, a means for Europe to become energy independent of Russia.
About the same time you were writing this script, one of the Baltic nations, I think it's Lithuania, opened a new LNG receiving terminal. You didn't mention that.
@@jesuszamora6949 Yemen is used to it. What you should be asking yourself wrt Yemen is why a far worse war is getting so much less coverage in the media. And Yemen isn't the only such example. For instance, the ongoing Tigray war is also criminally underreported on. Hell the Second Congo War is literally the biggest war since WW2 - it's literally called Africa's world war - and yet most people haven't even heard of it, despite that it's barely two decades old and kinda still ongoing.
@@ArawnOfAnnwn Unfortunately, I think it's the lack of stakes, combined with a general disregard for the regions. Russia's conflict with Ukraine has the potential to spill into NATO, but not only that, people usually only associate the middle east and Africa with chaos anyway. Biases are a horrible thing.
21:14 - There's an irony in the fact that Egypt is currently the worlds largest importer of wheat, being that Egypt was once known as "The Breadbasket of the Roman Empire".
What about India's wheat export capacity. We only really hear about their rice growing, but India has been bolstering their wheat production massively throughout the century. They are also currently building up export infrastructure, so I would expect that India would begin exporting wheat as well soon.
@@ketikteks What do you mean by 1%? If you mean that wheat makes up 1% of their export capacity, that doesn't surprise me, as India exports so many other things. Also, India has actually been a low-key wheat producer for years, and are currently massively expanding their export industries to transporting wheat. I assume that India will be fairly quick to take advantage of the market space opening up.
Germany: "Let me write this down so that nobody misunderstands anything. You want me to: build a massive army, move troops into Poland and fight Russia if necessary?" Europe (nervously): "Yes..."
The German military is in a BAD state. Mostly dumb people go there, others choose medical services/paramedic (very helpful if you want to become a doctor) or other civil services. Our military equipment is mostly from the 80ies and very outdated. No one wants to join the army. We have no military pride culture like the US. We kinda lookdown on soldiers. It’s also very bureaucratic. I don’t have high hopes for our army 🤣🙈

I really like how you always show things with much bigger perspective. You show that world and all conflicts are not as simple as most people or media thinks. It is and always have been a communicating vessels like. I'm trying to see a world like that, but constantly I'm dealing with comments of uninformed people, then there are your videos which are very helpful to have some arguments or just to share it with them. Big kudos for your knowledge and research done! Keep going with that.
The phrasing of the OP makes it clear he does not care about men. "... more than 2.5 million Ukraine, mostly women and children, have been forced to flee to country ..." That's one way to look at it. Another way to loo at it is that women have the PRIVILEGE of fleeing. Why are we even conned about the women that get to flee. That is good. They get to continue living. What about the men that are FORCED to stay and die. That is sexism against men. Just for being both the wrong gender they have to die. Men should be given the same opportunities as women to flee to safety. Why should have to die for women. I don't see women eager to die for men.

Depends. It might startle people at first, but a lot of people did view the USSR as the next enemy even in 46, and if you added 84 years from now anyone who remembers their history classes would just shrug and assume a new collection of weird alliances.
They'd probably be more surprised to learn that everyone in Europe was totally unprepared for this after 84 years of at least notional peace on most of the continent.

I live in Groningen, basically on top of the gas field. Recent polls have shown that a majority of citizens here now support extracting more gas to decrease our dependency on Russia, and I agree with this. However, this will mean that the government has to invest more into making buildings earthquake-proof and compensating people, which it obviously does not want to do. So it took years to get recognition and compensation for the damage up until now, let alone the damage that extracting more gas will cause. For years it felt as if the national government spent the money it made from extracting gas on things that did not benefit the locals at all. If we had been quickly and adequately compensated from the start, the problem would have been much less severe. But now I can already predict the protests that will occur over the next 10 years.
I guess if we still want gas we have to sacrifice even more money for better earthquake resistance. What have you done Putin?!
Can’t you make that EU issue? I would say since that gas will come as strategic for whole EU energy policy, there could be some kind of EU fund for such thing. 400 million people splitting the bill for damages to locals would have easier time than government of 17 million.
@@stafer3 The problem is that the government of 17 million sees all the benefit in terms of money, so they should be the ones to fix their own problems that result because of it.

It’s mind boggling to think that no one is concerned about sexism against men. The phrasing of the OP makes it clear he does not care about men.
"... more than 2.5 million Ukraine, mostly women and children, have been forced to flee to country ..."
That's one way to look at it. Another way to loo at it is that women have the PRIVILEGE of fleeing. Why are we even conned about the women that get to flee. That is good. They get to continue living. What about the men that are FORCED to stay and die.

They are now going back to Ukraine based on latest data. It seems Russia can’t take over the west so in a sense many are confident and started coming back.
I’m a farmer in Western Australia. In a cruel twist of fate, we’ve been unable to seize on the high wheat prices because of the incredible season that we’ve just experienced. Which has flooded the WA export terminals and severely hampered the states ability to get the grain out of the country. At the same time our overheads have shot through the roof as we are unable to source the essential resources (chemical, steel, fuel etc.) necessary to the ongoing operations of our business. Who would’ve thought three years ago this kind of global instability would result
I wonder if any of this has been orchestrated in advance as part of a wider reset of the West's economic and political architecture.

9:40 this map lacks the context of how much of each countries energy production relies on gas, for example the 94% for Finland might seem like catastrophic overextension, but natural gas overall is only 5% of the countries entire energy consumption.

What the video also fails to mention is that these ''significant'' earthquakes have never been higher than 3.6 magnitude.

@@asterdostehhhh??? 60% of Algeria's gas goes to EU. 30% to Turkey, 6% to the UK leaving 4% to go elsewhere like Africa.

You tell me.

Hey, I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm saying that it's very misleading when you say that Finland imports most of it's gas from Russia. This is because Gas is such a minor player in Finnish energy. it's mainly used for district heating and for some manufacturing. It's only 6% of all energy consumption of Finland.

I know you have to use stock footage, but the clip at 12:53 to show damage to Dutch houses is laughably inaccurate. You show complete devastation, presumably hurricane damage, whereas in reality we're talking about cracks in brick walls. Those "significant earthquakes" you mention are indeed bad, but I think it's important to mention here that the most powerful quake was a whopping... 3.6 magnitude.
A while back they talked about a fire at a chemical refinery that happened near me, they showed stock footage of the downtown area of a city a few miles away.
I dispute that an earthquake of 3.6 is bad. But, then again, I live on the Pacific Rim where anything below a 5.0 is barely noteworthy.
@@michaelb1761 3.6 is a bit misleading. Because the kind of soil in Groningen makes it worse and the fact that the earthquakes are way more close to the surface than normal earthquakes. That combined makes it a lot worse than a normal earthquake of 3.6
(Still not catastrophic but enough for severe cracks)
I'm thinking if its mostly damage over time that causes problems, like how houses start to tilt maybe? But yes 3.6 is laughable for someone in the Pacific Ring of Fire that's just the average magnitude of an aftershock after a magnitude 6 or 7.

You have quality videos, but the endings on some of them bother me a bit because the assumptions aren't completely true.
There are plenty of videos about war, terrorism, genocide, and other 'dark' or 'controversial' topics on UA-cam that do not get demonetized despite containing real footage, images, etc. Another thing to note is that age-restricted videos do get picked up by the algorithm; they aren't necessarily the same as unlisted videos. If the video is from an educational standpoint, like most of yours are, it shouldn't get demonetized.

@@im_cart8656 Huh, interesting. Maybe they changed them, but I still get recommended documentaries or shorter videos on those kind of subjects and they seem to be fine.
UA-cam doesn't "officially" tell creators this, but age-restricted videos absolutely perform worse on the platform compared to normal ones. It makes sense from UA-cam's standpoint, since age-restricted content = potentially not advertiser friendly content => if there's too much /the content is too prominent, UA-cam could lose sponsors.
Although this is true, anything that could slightly offend SJWs in any way will get a video demonetized and SJWs get offended by everything. Especially when it comes to education.

Just a pedantic side-note: Francis Fukuyama didn't "unilaterally declare the end of history." His thesis wasn't "Russia will never pose a threat again" or "major historical events will cease occurring from this point forward." He wasn't referring to that kind of history: the history of wars, conflict, and historical change. That sort of history will never come to an end. Fukuyama was referring instead to the historical progression toward an ultimate final form of government.
In *The End of History and the Last Man* (which has to rate among the most misunderstood books ever written), Fukuyama considered the possibility that, with the death of the Soviet system, viable and legitimate alternatives to liberal democracy had effectively ceased to exist. He concluded that the only viable, legitimate form of government left was liberal democracy. He wasn't wrong about that. All dictators worth their salt at least pay lip service to democracy, or claim that their system is the *real* form of democracy. And for that reason (among many others), such regimes struggle with legitimacy. Other systems (communism and fascism) do not appear to work in practice and therefore are not viable (not to mention the legitimacy issues they suffer from). Liberal democracy remains the only system that can stake credible claims to legitimacy and long-term viability, ergo: we have arrived at an *apparent* end to a *very specific* sense of history. Fukuyama at no point claims that wars will stop happening after 1991.

the NATO is not defensive, the USA, the NATO leader, started "defensive"wars all over the world the last decades in order to free those poor people, and killed thereby thousands. That they deeply want to see Russia fall, does not it better. When there is a fitting time, USA would just again switch everythign accordign to their own wishes and needs and start a war, while giving others the fault. Thats what they always do.
Also, NATO was created by the USA in order to be able to fight Russia. Another reason why Russia does not like the fact that they come closer and closer. Check your facts and try to look at both sides next times
You do realize that the history of the whole world is wars and preparing for the next one
the world rarely changes it's just the people that change often.
Wars are part of our history it's always war happening before and war happening after just at some point later in the future.

8:33 "Germany has had no other choice but to import..." Well, this is so not true. Germany, due to powerful lobbying, was shutting down its nuclear power plants (because reasons) to be replaced with Russian gas. That is why they have built Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. Utterly dangerous energy strategy that was probably fueled (pun not intended) by Moscow.
The problem is that not much will change with nuclear energy because even there a significant part of the uranium was supplied by Russia. The only difference is that there is no need for a continuous supply.
@@roundpenguin3072 Uranium can be easily imported from all around the globe. Russia makes only 8% of it.
@@szymonokun9841 Uranium yes, but no raw uranium is being fed into the reactor. The fuel must have certain parameters and switching to another manufacturer is not a completely trivial matter.
@ Merkel wanted to bring Russia into the globalist system. She hoped that, once integrated, they could be forced to tow the line. Being heavily integrated with the west's financial system is exactly what allows USA, UK and other western countries to implement effective sanctions, but Putin is liberating Russia from the need to be involved with the west, thus taking back Russian sovereignty. Merkel didn't count on Putin implementing measures to increase Russia's self-sufficiency, even as Europe handed theirs over to Russia. Russia now produces most of what it needs domestically. What it doesn't produce domestically, it can get from friendly countries, like China and India.
Just look at the Ruble - Yes, it took a hit when the sanctions were imposed, but it has almost fully recovered already to where it was before this round of sanctions in the few weeks that have passed since. Blocking SOME Russian banks from SWIFT (not the ones Europe needs to pay for Russia's biggest exports - oil and gas) is just leading to the development of alternative inter-bank messaging systems, such as the one China has developed. Russia even developed a small one of their own. Russia and China are quickly abandoning the western economic order, and as they do, sanctions do less and less damage to them. Other countries are increasingly following their lead.
What next? After USA and the west abused their position as leaders of the global order, other countries are revolting and building a whole new one. The US/Western Empire is crumbling, and the Sino-Russian empire is rising.
It's the same problem in Spain. Only France seems to have the right idea with nuclear plants, which is why electricity is so cheap there compared to the skyrocketing prices in the rest of Europe

I hope this forces countries to move rapidly towards other energy types such as nuclear, solar, wind and hydro.
Perhaps Germany could finally reverse it's stance against nuclear power.
nuclear? really?
as if Europe does not have enough "tactical targets" right now?
Nuclear power is exceptionally efficient, however Nuclear power plants are tactical targets.
imagine what if the whole of Europe would've relied on Nuclear power stations, and pissed off the wrong country?
a single attack of tactical ballistic missile strikes on all European nuclear power plants would be DEVASTATING.
not only with Europe lose its ability to produce electricity, it would also become almost completely uninhabitable due to something like that.
then the problem with solar energy is that solar energy is not very efficient, and it is also only suitable for very specific regions of the world - dry deserts where it almost never rains and it is always sunny.
Europe has none of that, and even Spain and Portugal which are the most "desertish" countries in Europe are not completely suitable to rely on solar energy.
the problem with wind is, again it is not suitable for every region, and it is also not efficient enough to rely on, additionally the maintenance costs of wind turbines and the life expectancy of a wind turbine themselves are very costly.
the problem with hydroelectric is also, it is not suitable for every region, while it is actually quite efficient you have to rely on natural water streams with a fast enough current for a good hydroelectric dam to be very efficient, and like i wrote above not every place in Europe is suitable for hydroelectric power.
realistically the only REAL solution for Europe is to just produce or import natural gas themselves, in fact i don't see why wouldn't it be possible for Europe to create a Trans-Atlantic gas pipeline network from the US to Europe? after all the distance between France to England is negligible, and from England to Greenland is shorter than the distance from St. Petersburg to Germany with the Nordstream 1 pipeline, and the distance from Greenland to Canada is also not that far, and from Canada to the US a network of ground gas pipes wouldn't even be a problem.
yeah it would be exceptionally expensive to create a pipeline like that, but once it is done, Europe does not need to rely on ANYONE but its actual allies for energy...
additionally, if Russia and China do make a deal for gas supply, China would become Russia's biggest importer of natural gas by a huge margin over Europe, 750 million people vs 1.4 billion people is not even a fair comparison lol
and don't forget that if Russia gets the deal with the Chinese, they could then use that deal to also create a pipeline to India and make a deal with them as well.
so realistically, its more like 750 million vs 2.8 billion, so i think Russia will be fine lol

6:15 "what I will now always refer to as the Cold War's first phase..."
If you step back far enough you can argue that WW1 and WW2 are parts of one world war with a 20-year armistice in the middle, but while the line-ups of countries on both sides are roughly the same, there are such important differences in the conflicts that it makes more sense to treat them as related but distinct.
Similarly, historians will probably give what will follow a new name. _Maybe_ the second cold war, or maybe something else.
Hell i can see in the future this will be just thought of as one giant world war. Technically WW1 still haunts us today as many modern conflicts are happening from border disputes drawn up at the end of WW1.
I personally call the period between 1991 and now “the Thaw”
It's easy to speculate in the springtime. But when it's -20 degrees, I don't think it matters where the heat source comes from. Ideology is pointless when your taxpayers are froze.
Cold War 2: Ukrainian Boogaloo
WWI and WWII is the second thirty year war. The list of conflicts which occurred in the interwar years is staggering. Yhe Polish-Soviet war, to the French occupation of the Rhineland to the Sino-Japanese war. You can make a very long list of conflicts happening across the globe, and you'll see that it never stopped, just lowered in intensity from the highs in 1914-1918 (at least in Europe).
While I appreciate your confidence in a revitalized Bundeswehr, I seriously doubt it will work all that well, considering the difficulties with the procurement process. But I will admit that general opinion towards the Bundeswehr has changed in the last few weeks, which is surprising, considering I still remember the demonstration at our oath ceremony
Yeah, just throwing money at the problem hasn't worked during the last decade, so why should it work now?
His "third largest budget in the world" statement is misleading, as while Russia's budget is smaller, they can get more bang for their buck than Germany, as labor and resources are much cheaper in Russia. Germany's budget may be bigger, but it their army will be much more expensive.
@@matthewslentz5481 Russias army is absolute garbage as proven by how this invasion has gone, I suspect France even with less spending is already a pretty good match for Russia. Germany if they actually invest properly - and also invest no just in equipment but in more training exercises with the rest of NATO - will undoubtedly surpass Russia within the decade. Especially with how much Russian equipment is being wrecked and the fact Russia is about to default.
Bundeswehr is managed quite badly, from general decisions down to the indivudual soldier. I've heard from friends how much they got buried in (redundant) Paperwork and how inefficient many processes are.
A lot of money will pay for some better equipment, but it won't make it the worlds third strongest army.
@@LordDeathNote Oh I'm not claiming that Russia would be able to defeat Germany in a conventional ground fight. Throughout history, the army of higher quality has consistently beaten the army of higher quantity. I'm simply saying that the German budget, while impressive on paper, in actuality won't make a significant difference on the balance of power in Europe. $100 billion dollars is significant, but European reliance on the United States for military defense will continue for the foreseeable future, even with the boost.

Jesus people, I was in high school and 15 year old. I was not mature enough to understand how world works. I had an optimistic mind back than. So stop blaming my younger self for thinking people are not dumb enough to start a war that might end all of humanity.
Yes you were extremely naive. We who grew up during the cold war and witnessed all our factories shut down to go to China. We new world war 3 was going to happen. And guess what the united States is not in a position to win. We are on china's tit for all our consumer goods. Russia controls Europe with it's fuel. And on top of we under NATO contract to defend western Europe that has zero resources or military 🪖 strength of there own. How are we supposed to win this? With gay pride parades? Lol 😂. You were 🧠 brain washed by your liberal teachers.
I bet trump is back in office in no time.
No country would be dumb enough, true. But you should not underestimate dumbness of one person with severe senility(Putin).
This is quite obvious that globalization puts the economy at risk in case of a major conflict. Many think Russia is at war with Ukraine, but they're actually at war with the Western economy. And it's for the people to suffer in both sides. The rich are still rich, the poor are poorer.
Indeed right, it takes 2 braincells of baldimir putin to realize it wan't a good idea
It was only “unthinkable to everyone”...who hadn’t been paying attention since 1991...or for the first 8 years of this war.

True, half the people I know and myself expected Russia to invade, seems like quite a few saw it coming lol
@@ByZHellas I think Putin was under lots of pressure domestically. A war distracts his people and his propaganda machine whips them up into nationalist and false patriotic frenzy. I don't know what the past eight years have to do with Putin's illegal invasion. Russia has always been invading an taking from their neighbors.
I note how you're referring to this as the continuation of the cold war, rather than the second cold war. I'm not saying you're wrong, you probably have better arguments than me, but I think it should be called the second cold war, just like the second world war was not a continuation of the first.
While the belligerent is the same country (Russia), this was also true for WWII. But the government had completely changed, the reasons for the war had changed, the geographical boundaries have changed, there have been huge leaps in technology, and many countries have changed allegiances. Just like with WWI and WWII.
Sorry but WW2 literally happened because of ww1 and was a huge factor in everyone harbouring hatred for each other.
@@kp-legacy-5477 you're right, and this cold war is happening because of how the previous cold war ended. But the current consensus is that they were separate wars.
But it might not be this way forever. My former history professor has argued that they could be seen as the one conflict, and when you zoom out and look at the broader geopolitical questions that went unanswered after the creation of the unified German state, that's how some future historians will see it. I don't agree, I think WWII had almost nothing to do with German unification.
So RLL is not being insane here, it's a fair argument. I just don't agree.
Defeated enemy, nominal democratization, weak parliamentary government, then a slow rise to power of an autocratic ruler motivated by dominating and racially changing Eastern Europe, Western Allies that never saw the threat and capitulated in test invasions for fear of disrupting lucrative post-war financial ties, hideously optimistic assessments of military success followed by purges of the military officer class .... Call it what you will, the parallels are striking.
Let me remind you that American sanctions never been removed from Russia (and USSR) even after USSR collapsed. Instead, USA moved NATO to Russian boarders.
So if you'd say it's a cold war 2, you have to find a moment when cold war 1 was finished.
The thing is: it wasn't.
@@risulight The USA didn't move NATO to Russian Borders, the Russian border states moved NATO to them. And you'd think all the pictures of Clinton and Yeltsin laughing their asses off together is indictive that that Cold War was over.
So glad I don't have to ingest the chaotic breadcrumbs on this subject handed to us over biased media.
Good job on putting it together for us so we can understand the big picture.
I feel like Germany finally convinced themselves that "We'll figure it out" and deal with the fallout of lack of Russian natural gas in the future.
Somewhat, yes
Wait until the germans sit in the dark and cold. They'll become restless soon enough. And nobody wants an unstable, unpredictable Germany. They might freeze obedient to their masters. Or they might revolt. And that would probably be bad for Europe.
Germans are supposed to be so smart. Why would they make themselves so dependent on a non-friendly and non-allied nation for it's oil? It could've just bought from the US. We have more oil and natural gas than we know what to do with, we could totally supply Europe with the stuff, Canada too as they have even more than we do.
Basically, North America is overflowing with the very stuff Europe needs so badly but instead of buying from us, their friends and allies, they buy from Russia? wtf
Bold. Overdue, but it’s hard to blame them. Decoupling themselves from Russia is an expensive proposition. But Putin has proved himself volatile, vindictive, and untrustworthy. Only an idiot wants to be in bed with Russia at this point. And the cynical Chinese government happy for the west to pay any price for opportunities for Chinese domination.
it is called self delusion. like going green.
humans were “ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, (and) covetous.” Machiavelli argued that man had the ability to be good, but he was only good when it was in his own self- interest to do so.

Men should be given the same opportunities as women to flee to safety. Why should have to die for women. I don't see women eager to die for men.
