Do I want to leave Belarus? (update)

Honestly, You are the only person from abroad talking about Belarus I listen to.
I have a feeling You deeply understand the inner prosses in our contry. It might be cause of the same historical prosses in our and your country (I mean that GB was not "polite" to irish people, so do Russia to us in some historical periods)
But you actually see the benefits of being a belarussian guy. I love Belarus, i won't move, I belive that there's no perfect place on earth so I choose the one I live in.
Thanks to you for your interst in our history, culture and beer ;)
Mf'er, you've spelt Belarus and Belarusian wrong
Being Irish or part of the irish diaspora gives us an understanding of those kinds of relationships. I see Russia and Britain as bullies. They both bully and mistreat their closest neighbors. I see the Irish fight for freedom as the same struggle for freedom that Belarusians and Ukrainians have as being very similar to the Irish Republican struggle.
@@MCKevin289 Niall doesn't see Russia as bullies though, Niall loves Russia cos Niall thinks it's the commie USSR, when in reality Russia is a much more evil incarnate version of the USSR. His opinions are not being forced cos the Belarusian regime does not force foreigners to parrot Russian propaganda at least not yet, Niall has been directly and indirectly spouting Russian propaganda for at least 2 years now in some streams and videos.
@@apjpisared
Yeah I guess I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. As someone who’s family is Irish it’s sad to see “one of us” fall in with the bullies. My bachelors was in Irish history and I’m working to get a master’s in Slavic studies. The way I saw the Soviets treatment of the Belarusian language was the same as how England treated our own native language of Irish. I see Crimea and the Russian separatists in a similar way to how I see the Ulstermen marching through my grandfather’s neighborhood on the 12th.
He s just here to fuck the women. Look up bald and bankrupt exposed, he s on there as well
Niall is the only person i know who says Belarus weather is “abdolutely amazing” ;)
Happy Birthday.
Well maybe compared to english usual weather it is.
Proves he has no idea what he is talking about. He wanders around bars with a lovely woman and videos himself, wearing an Izod shirt from 1985 no less. Yes lovely Belarus lol.
@@johnsmith1474 Huh 🤔
Very well said Niall, keep up the good work.
"Learn your history, learn your culture", says the guy who just spent 10 minutes with the most delusional history lesson of all time 🤣. Also the blind optimism and delusion about the situation in Belarus, where all the young want to leave or get a new leader just demonstrates that he clearly hasn't bothered to properly engage with anyone in Belarus. Sad.
@@jimsully9851 I live in one of the cheaper areas of Czech Republic. Putting yourself in that economic situation as an Irishman doesn't actually cause you to change your opinions drastically. Ireland is a kip for young people rent wise, but to say living in a Belarusian dictatorship, or by extension the even more repressive and more evil Russian one whose propaganda Niall loves to spout every week, is a better life, is clearly a pisstake. Niall supports Russia. He lives in Belarus for ideological reasons, not just cos it's cheaper. Poland and Czechia and Slovakia and the Baltics are all cheaper than Ireland too, and have much lower rents as a percentage of wage. He's a communist and he likes living in what he sees as USSR mark 2. That's why. We have all met dopes like this in college, he's a fanatic, and ironically supports fascism and imperialism in his quest to live out the ghost of the USSR by promoting Russian propaganda constantly and condoning the Belarusian regime's complicity by extension.
@@apjpisaredI think you are right
So, bottom line it’s the US fault. Not even a word about the Ukraine. I guess you don’t have enough freedom to speak and you’re ok with it. I really hope Belarus don’t get directly involved in this war more than it is right now.
You still have the choice to get out of there asap. Hope you reconsider. Things will get tougher.
Love your videos, wish you good luck! 🤞
He's analagous to the Western sexpats in China who bend over backwards praising the CCP and exaggerating the West's nefariousness. Anything to maintain that cheap booze, easy tail, King-in-a-3rd-world-country lifestyle.
Because it is US fault, he is right, the US is a declining power ¿Iran, Irak, Syria... do I have to go on? ¿Taiwan provocation, I mean WTF was that?. Ukraine made their choice 8 years ago, the war didn´t start on 24/02/2022, it started in late 2013 and early 2014. What did you expect? To Russia let NATO(US) to have taken the ports of the Black Sea just like that?? Get a grip on reality dude
@@bnp4292 I'd hesitate before suggesting to anyone that he or she should "get a grip on reality," buddy, considering that it was the Russian government who aggressed Ukraine, and not the other way around. Why should Russia have to worry about NATO if the former isn't getting up to sketchy shit? Putin and his criminal cronies don't deserve to command such a formidable nation as Russia. They will die and be remembered with scorn, while Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, Gagarin, Tchaikovsky, etc. are and will remain immortal.
@@christiantorres6640 Keep dreaming dude, and I repeat, get a grip on reality. Its a proxy war, like it or not.
I’m an American and I say that I can’t really blame the rest of the world. We kind of are the bad guy. Our government at least, and collectively many people here seem to have lost their minds in the western world. I think there will be a lot of hardship in the times ahead, but also an opportunity to rediscover family and what’s important.
Hi Niall … spot on political analysis as always; declining empire flailing and lashing out.. yes who will forget the columns of US tanks and military trying this year to lay siege to a European capital Kiev.. yes 4 legs good 2 legs bad
He's some rehab. They can keep the amadán.
Don’t forget the bit about German deindustrialisation. Soon we will be riding horseback.
Thanks for video
All the best in New year to you from Waterford Ireland 🇮🇪
Love your updates...Thank you
I'm in Edmonton Alberta Canada, it's FRIGID (up and down) with snow on the ground since the middle of November. Cheers to you.
I think all of the canadians always say that "everyone's from Alberta".
I think you need to stop watching russian news 😂
And you need to stop watching CNN and the BBC 😂
@@IrishPartizan wake up! Russia is supported by nobody apart from Belarus, Iran , Syria, North Korea and other tin pot dictatorships! Even China, Russia's closest allie, won't support their actions!
He was gulping their "any talk of imminent Russian invasion is Western propaganda" just earlier this year, days before they did it. Now he continues to gulp it, but the tune has been changed from the top. It's obvious where the man gets his ideas, you're spot on.
@@IrishPartizan The BBC is not threatening to nuke anyone daily, neither is CNN. How many times have America or Britain threatened Russia? How many times has Russia threatened Britain, Germany, and especially Poland? You're an f'n disgrace and you better not show your face in Poland or Czech Republic with your borderline fascistic pro Russian opinions. You wouldn't last long around here, people don't tolerate that shit. Some of what you previously said about supporting Russian sponsored separatists in Ukraine in 2022 is also a crime in promoting terrorism in Poland and Czech Republic. Promoting Russian propaganda is also a crime. Stay in Belarus, claim asylum sure, don't cross the border or you'll get 7 lumps of shite kicked out of you the first time you blab these lies to Poles in a bar, and they'd be f'n right too.
I was absolutely astonished when I finally understood that the "flailing empire in decline" was the US and not Russia for you ! As for the political analysis, it's difficult to know where to start, such is its bias. Many comments and descriptions on this channel are not too far from paid propaganda, but it is probably being done for free.
I think both USA and Russia could be counted as very much similar in this case to be fair
@@foreignofficeclub5815 I don’t agree, to be fair
@@Owen9975 and that is your right of course mate
Funny that any failure to comply with the official narrative is propaganda or Russian bots ... look around you the west is in deep crisis. I'm Irish and unpaid by the way. However, don't let that interfere with your theories. 😊
its not just the young in ireland who are disillusioned. early 40s here and feel totally disillusioned with the government and the way the country is going socially and financially. doing ok in life but feel those off who work and contribute are being totally shafted and screwed over with no prospects on the horizon of any rewards for the ordinary worker or small business owner
At least you're not in england.
The weather is amazing 😻 totally agree. I was worried that you leave Belarus after your trip to Portugal but we keep you for awhile 🙏 Honestly I didn’t want to watch just because of bad news.
From a fellow Irishman in Kazakhstan, now in year 23 there, that was among your best videos for a long while Niall. A lot of wisdom spoken in a short time with a beautiful background. We also suffered a big upheaval here in January but TG we overcame that and things are looking as positive as they can be in this time of change as you say. Take care and enjoy the snow.
make some videos on Kazakhstan! I've been to Almaty in 2000 and I'd love to see how life is there now from a Westerner's perspective!
I wonder what the people of Kazakhstan think about Russian refugees in their country dodging the draft and massively increasing Kazakh rents in the process...and the threats of the Russian public propaganda channels to invade Kazakhstan in the media over the last year. I bet they are a lot more wary of the neighbour that starved their people 4-5 times over the last 200 years than they are of the Americans. I wonder why President Tokayev does not recognise Putin's annexations of Ukrainian land? Most of all I wonder what they think of a moron who probably, like Niall in Belarus, only lives there for USSR nostalgia and pro Russian propaganda reasons?
Not really a word about Ukraine . Guess their plight hasn’t a thing to do with any Russian decision or action? Certainly won’t find Lukashenko advocating for their territorial integrity.
Not easy for him to talk about Ukraine honestly when Belarus security services watch this channel…thats why best to avoid the topic for Niall
If Niall is right and Ireland, EU, USA and so on are moving to something not good, then Ukraine, trying to be in coalition with all those countries, have chosen the wrong side. That's what I see about Ukraine from what Niall said.
@@dmitryderevitsky9212 well he isn’t right
The same will befall Belarus. If a western backed opposition comes in, in comes the Russian army.
would you rather the usa just sits back and allows Russia to take over Ukraine?
No, I would rather if NATO and the US stop acting as the world's policeman imposing their will upon everyone and respect the sovereignty of states and International law.
@@IrishPartizan NATO is just a fancy word for the USA in Europe, justifies it. I respect your answer, you're entitled. You rather just simply let Russia invade a country while the rich powerful country just sits back and allows it.
@@IrishPartizan FFS everyone look over here for Dumbass of the year statement award. WHO HAS INVADED WHO SINCE 2022, AND WHO IS REALLY NOT RESPECTING SOVEREIGNTY IN EUROPE? If you weren't so obviously stupid and brainwashed, you'd have to be on the take to promote these lies. Nato is a VOLUNTARY organisation. The EU is a VOLUNTARY organisation. Nobody forced anybody to join, they can leave anytime, but leaving Nato risks you being invaded by Russia, only a moron or a paid propagandist would deny that. I'm grateful that even if that pro Russian P.O.S. Trump wins in 2024, almost all of Europe will keep supporting Ukraine anyway. And as for you and your nazi lies, God I hope the Belarusian opposition take over when Łukaszenko dies, and they turf your nazi ass out of there.

when i hear ur intro about declining superpower i was for sure u would say the russian federation. not sure about ur analysis. but good look bro . i hope u find what ur looking for in belarus :D
Nice to see you again. The same thing is happening in Canada.
Well, a bit strange that you would suggest that it is the US that is the country lashing out, when it is accepted in even Russia that it is Russia which has invaded its neighbours. If it was the case that it was the US as the aggressor, and that they will cause a lot of turmoil in Europe, surely you are in the worst place in the world safety wise as the buffer state between the entirety of NATO and Russia. I feel there's a bit of cognitive dissonance in you saying that we're in a time of extreme change and instability, and you saying that Ireland, which is an isolated island, is a worse place to be at the moment compared to Belarus, which could be annexed at any moment by Russia.
I started my electrician apprenticeship in now. In 4 years I think I might leave home. Me and my friends are thinking about heading to Australia. I don’t wanna leave my country but it’s not the country is once was when I was a young child. Ireland has changed a lot now and it’s not for the best. 😔 Does Belarus need electricians ?? 😂
Try the Middle East or Norway :)
I’d give Australia a miss in case they reintroduce lockdowns and you can’t get out.
Perhaps try Iceland. They have their own supply of geothermal energy from underground 😎
Afraid too much competition in this niche... And definitely not Australian per hour rates.
I'm in Australia, and we are that far behind, there a attack on the middle class happening right now in the west
I live in swabian mountain , Germany in Baden Württemberg. The weather is nearly similar to Belarus . We have a lot of snow and ice!
Make your Life how you are want.........
So I can have Storys from Belarus ,stay health
Everybody wants stories from Belarus)
If you want, you can visite Loshytsky park on south of the city. One of the best parks in Minsk, in my opinion, with historical stuff and the museam about life of local nobles.
This is hilarious.
Genuine question, how is the US lashing out against Russia?
@@Henry_Jones this doesn’t answer the question lol. Read Putin’s essay on Ukraine and listen to his various nonsensical ramblings since the beginning of the war. Ukraine matters to Russia about as much as it does to America. He even says it in black in white… this has everything to do with challenging US hegemony and bringing Russia back into a multipolar world order to mask his domestic failings.
It’s a huge strategic miscalculation as a result of his fragile, top-down security apparatus, his army is being battered by only a fraction of the NATO defence budget, whilst its sphere of influence is on a rapid decline. There is only one declining empire “lashing out” here, and it’s not America.
Intersting video. It's worth adding that the declining empire lashing out to start WW1 was the Austro-Hungarian Empire (and arguably Ottoman Empre too) rather than British or German Empires, neither of which were declining in 1914.
Good luck over there
Britain was already in decline by 1914 (it had already started 20 years earlier) as Spain was in 1618. They even admitted it as in Joseph Chamberlain's speech from around 1900.
@@IrishPartizan Ah politicians' speeches! Not sure they're the best source of factual info (nowadays as well as then).
Hope you're keeping warm in what was then called White Russiia :)
@@pipmci Britain was well in decline . You must be smoking something 😂
I'm from Belarus and I had to leave recently because of unsafe government which puts you in jail for any different opinion
Than'k you, Niall!
Great video! Greatings from Portugal 🇵🇹
I'm an American and things aren't much better here in the US. But to hear that Ireland is having such troubles is saddening. I've never been to Belarus myself, but from your videos it seems like a lovely place. Albeit I'm not a fan of Lukashenko but that is beside the point here. I honestly wish I could immigrate somewhere else as the US isn't fairing much better. Sadly I am stuck here. I'm a young man and in my prime and I fear for the future of my nation and for Europe as a whole with the current events unfolding.
This guy is completely disconnected from reality. Ireland has a housing crisis but life is excellent and yes there's inflation but less than over half of other EU countries. He is using his nationality in bad faith... ireland built and sold 16,000 new houses last year, which is the most in a single year since the state existed. Ireland has high immigration and many good jobs. Ireland is in demand and stuggling to keep up, Belarus is not...
@@Antiwumao All depends on what you see as 'excellent'. You're looking at it like an economist, Irish as a human being.

Well thought through Niall! Yes the weather here is beautiful as you say, especially the tree lined Mkad this last week! I too, concur from the perspective of living here in Minsk too, with your observations and optimism about the future both here and in Europe! Now's the time to sit tight and whilst it's nice to pop "home" to 🏴 twice a year, it's nice to be here with the family in Belarus! 😉👍👌👋
Was this done in one take? Clearly knows his stuff. Should maybe shift the channel to history presentations, would watch that
I agree with you on the US being a declining superpower and agree more about that there will be peace and stability after this period... but how can you not talk about Russia and their physical lashing out in Ukraine?
I am opposed to Russia's invasion but it wasn't unprovoked. Putin warned back in 2007 at Munich that NATO expansion would bring about a confrontation with Russia.
@@jimsully9851 Have you seen Russian TV?
So you think russias is allowed to bully their neighbors with threats and bombs?
@@stephenhanrahan7638 He thinks it's only natural that countries such as mine (Lithuania) should have to be subservient to their long-time bullies and captors, and serve in their interest (buffer zone) and not our own (attaining security guarantees). Because Putin demanded so in 2007, didn't you hear! That means concepts such as national sovereignty go out the window, because some man in a neighbouring country has big bombs.
@@stephenhanrahan7638 Nobody should be allowed to "bomb and bully their neighbours" and as I said in previous posts I am opposed to the actions of Russia but had NATO not expanded beyond Germany as promised in 1990 and illegally bombed Yugoslavia in the process, we would not be in this situation that we find ourselves in today. Russia has genuine security concerns and interests. Gorbachev and Yeltsin wanted peace and a common European home for all including having Russia in it. The problem was, the neo-cons in Washington took this as a sign of weakness and a glorious opportunity to impose its geopolitical hegemon over Europe. Opportunity for lasting peace and mutual trade & prosperity forever lost.
Stay Right where you are there in Belarus, Niall. You are exactly the right type of person, with the right type of mind, to live in the police state.
Zing!
Thank you that you believe in Belarus !
You fail to mention Russia and Putin's aggression towards Ukraine, the cause of economic instability in Europe at the moment. You completely omit that important and topical fact🙈
You don't want to come back here but I sure do want to go there
You are 💯 right. Thank you for the update.Much love from your Polish girl in America 💓
Not sure the US is declining. It declined from the 1990s until now when Reagan started offshoring America to China. Only seen one declining power lashing out in the last 10 months, but guess you can't mention that. Belarus is awesome, but for me, this video just didn't add sauce to the beans.
Next month i am moving to Belorusia. Your advice?
Don't mess up the registration.
I'm afraid Russia is the superpower that is declining and lashing out, not the United States. I think you misspoke.
As long as Russia got their grip on belarus.. no chnage will come there untortunately. Good luck and stay safe!
Many friends of mine left Croatia, looking for better life in Ireland. And they faund beautiful country, people and opportunities there .Not quite sure you are allowed to contemplate realistically, since opposition is probably silenced in Belorussia.
Your country is emptying out like many on the EU periphery as a source of cheap and exploitable labour, all aided by your petite bourgeois comprador, nationalist ruling class.
@@IrishPartizan Agree what you said about our Government.And my opponion is even worst; they're highly corrupted and hypocrites.
They're busterds and crooks. And I'm allowed to shout it on the streets. If I recall correctly Belarus opposition is already chained.
@@IrishPartizan
I mean if you look at it, Ireland is better off than Croatia at least economically. Belarus and Russia are not socialist or communist. They use soviet nostalgia and imagery to prop up their kleptocratic capitalist oligarchic dictatorships. I’d argue that maybe Belarus and Russia could be considered NazBol. Using Marxist dialectics it makes sense that a fascist movement in a post soviet country would co-opt those symbols and nostalgia to gain support. Same way fascists in America portray themselves as libertarians and use imagery from the American revolution to spread their message. Now I’ve probably been banned from entering both Russia and Belarus.
@@IrishPartizan Croatia is nowhere near as poor as Belarus though, and the people aren't slaves to a brutal regime there. Don't insult members of the EU with communist platitudes that have little bearing in reality. You encourage Irish emigration yet ridicule some Croats for emigrating, that's hypocrisy as well FFS. Anyone who has been to Croatia knows it is a civilised and safe country catching up slowly with other members of the EU, but it's light years ahead of Belarus, even Belarusians know that. Belarusians move to Poland to escape their own evil government too, and to enjoy the political and economic and travel freedoms people in the EU such as the Croats have. So what if some of them emigrated? That's their right as EU citizens.
Curious if it was you or you tube that removed my comment . I thought it was positive and kind to the channel .
Thank you so much for your warm attitude to our country! It is not easy to find one who is not brainwashed by any kind of propaganda no matter from what side. I agree that changes in our countries will come naturally with change of generations.
I think I understood you to say that the USA is a declining superpower. I disagree with that, but even if that was true, the USA did not start this. It is only reacting in support for Ukraine, along with a number of other countries. Perhaps you are limited in what you can say or maybe your views have been coloured because of where you live but this situation is not as complicated as you suggest. Russia is very bad, USA is mostly good and Ukraine is righteous in their defence.
Nice contextual historical comparison that is at least, arguable.
Sounds like Toronto (where I am from) haha, I can relate. Going on 2 years here in Minsk.
Another reason to stay: the Belorusian chicks compared to the West-European/ Irish chicks
Why would the younger generation want to become like the rest of Europe specifically Western Europe and the entire west in general? I think most people young and old are happy with Lukashenko and the way things are going. They don’t want crime festering or illegals pouring in or drugs pouring in.
Because younger generation has its own preferences.
i enjoyed that speech will be in belarus next week cant wait
any christmas day or new years day live Q&A special this year ?
Your best video yet Niall!
Excellent speech. Imagine living in a world where level headed people are the primary influence on mainstream media. Folks would get along much better.

Fascinating video ... Who would of thought after the fall of the Berlin Wall, or even when Angela Merkel was elected that Germany's influence as a major power would be on the decline in the 2020s?
You have an interesting insight into the next decade or two - in the long run, I hope you are right, we need several decades of peace in Europe for all Europeans to make the most of this great continent. I'm just hoping for the Russia-Ukraine war too end ASAP, but you have thought about what is going to come in the years after this.
Good to hear foreigners speaking Belarusian. Even if that's a few words. Too bad there are still so many stereotypes about Belarus and belarusians in western countries. Thank goodness those are not like all those hollywood movies stereotypes back in the days (like drunk russians in ushanka hats walking their drunk pet bears and play balalaika and drink vodka all the time the whole day long). But there are some other stereotypes that still remain. "I you live in Belarus, if you are belarusian, then you definitely support lukashenka, putin and war". Of course it's not like that. At least in most cases. "Belarus is Russia'. That's a completely wrong idea. Everytime you go abroad you have to explain to foreigners that Belarus is not Russia. And it's not a part of Russia and not a region of Russia. It's two different countries. "Belarusians and russians are the same". Another absolutely wrong idea. It's pretty unpleasant to see how many english-speaking youtube bloggers (like americans or englishmen) who visit Belarus and who live in Belarus say that bearusians and russians are the same, there are no differences between them. They're two absolutely different nations with a different mentality. Hopefuly when everything changes in Belarus there will be many tourists from western countries and from around the world and they will get the right idea about what is Belarus and who are belarusians. And there will be no such stereotypes like "live in Belarus = support putin, support Russia". And then Belarus will become a popular place among international tourists. And people will get to know more about Belarus. Cause in many western countries people still think that Belarus - it is somewhere in Russia. And people will finally understand that belarusians are not russians, they're normal european nation.
Most Belarusians speak Russian, not Belarus. Russian armed forces (orks) attack from the territory of Belarus Ukraine. Belarus and Russia form a common state (Саюзная дзяржава). So when you say ""Belarus is Russia'. That's a completely wrong idea. " . Do you refer to these facts ?
@@JO-nh6mo @JO No, i reffer the facts that Ukraine sponsored 3 Bln. $ to Lukashenko in 2021 saying "we need bitum, we need to build roads. It doesn't matter to us that belarusians are being beaten and tortured and killed at the very same moment. We only want to make money. Lukashenko, putin m devil anybody, just give us money. Our mister President Zelenskiy will never meet you elected president Tikhanovskaya. Because we want to trade, we want to make money with Lukashenko. Not with her. And we want to play real politic. Before the war, after the war long after the war. Like our President Zelenskiy himself frankly said. And our ex-president Poroshenko praised Lukashenko skyhigh when he was president. Because Ukraine made good money with him. And Lukashenko was the most popular foreign politician till 2020. We never listened to protesting belarusians in 2020, who asked to support them, not Lukashenko and who told us constantly that L. will sell Ukraine to Russia eventuall. We supported L. not the protesters. Yes WE were stupid but we blame Belarusians. Because we only wanted money and we would and will make business even with the devil himself, just bring us the money. Money, money, money. You konow we, ukranians are totally pragmatic to the bone. It doesn’t matter to us that a Belarusian died for us in Maydan. That 10000 people were arrested in just one day on 27th of February 2022 in Belarus only because they were protesting against war. That there are so many Belarusians who fight against Russians on our Ukrainian side (Kalinovsky brigade, Pagonya brigade and the others). Who fight and die for us and our country, which is a foreign country for them. We in our way will never help them to free their country. There was never and will never be a single Ukrainian in Belarusian Maydan. Because we Ukrainians are very smart and totally pragmatic guys. We always only look for personal gain on everything. And we only want money. Bloody money, dirty money. It absolutely doesn’t matter to us. Just money. Even if those are money of robbed Belarusians, beaten protesting Belarusians or killed protesting Belarusians. It doesn’t matter to us at all that all Belarusian sportsmen spoke against war and many of them publicly supported Ukraine. Remember our dear totally pragmatic Ukrainian girl tennis player Marta Kostyuk, who being a noname in tennis-world constantly attacked a tennis legend Azarenka, only for her beaing Belarusian? While our other non-pragmatic tennis-player Stakshovsky said, that Azarenka was the only one who offer help to Ukraine and who openly supported it. It absolutely doesn’t matter to us, we only want to ban each and every Belarusian sportsman only because he/she has a Belarusian passport. We know well that Belarusian sportsmen don’t support war and we know well that neither Belarusian people nor Belarusian sportsmen weren’t the ones who made the decision to participate in war and support Russia. But we want them all banned from everywhere, cancelled everywhere. Because we are pragmatic guys who only cares for our personal gain in everything. For us Ukrainians doesn’t matter that thousands of Belarusians around the world donate directly to Ukrainians or to Belarusian brigades who fight for Ukraine. L. offered to transport Ukrainian grain. We say yes right away, cause we well make good money from it. Everything else doesn’t matter to us. You know why Ukraine still don’t attack war objects in Belarusian territory? Not because we are afraid of Belarusian soldiers. Like our President Zelenskiy said? We hope to make business with L. after the war. We can’t make him angry because of that. Zelenskiy still don’t want to have a meeting with Tikhanovkskaya for the very same reason. Right now you will think that we Ukrainians are stupid and don’t understand the simple thing that the most Belarusians are against war and support Ukraine (even though we Ukrainians never supported them and only made money). And we simply think that a Belarusian means support war, Russia, putin, L. (Belarusian = support war, Russia, putin, L.). No. We’re not stupid and we understand everything right and well. We just pragmatic to the bone and we always only care for our personal gain, and we’re envious to those workaholic Belarusians who achieved a lot through their everyday hard work. And we simply want to destroy and cancel everything and everyone Belarusian only because they have Belarusian passports. We want to totally discriminate them. Being totally pragmatic yes we don’t value at all that much everything what Belarusians did for us through years and decades (help, donate, support, fight for Ukraine, die for Ukraine, fight for urkainian freedom and democracy and likes) and we will never do the same for them. Because you now we Ukrainians are totally pragmatic and Belarusians are well-known Samaritans of the world. Who are kind, who help everybody without asking for anything in return (that’s unthinkable for us Ukrainians). Even knowing that if Ukraine don’t help to free Belarus there always will be a danger of another wear and attack from that side for Ukraine, we will never go help them. Even for our own good. You know why we Ukrainians discriminate and bully Belarusians (even though we perfectly know that most of them against war and support Ukraine and we know that nobody askes bealrusian people whether they want that war or not and they weren’t the one who made that decision. And in 2020 we Ukrainians were the ones who saved L. by supporting him with 3 BLNs $). Because like our President Zelenskiy himself said few months ago we want to make business with L. after the war and we can’t blame him. He ‘s innocent for us. We need him and we don’t need common Belarusian people (because we can’t make money from them).” THAT’S what I wanted to say.
@@JO-nh6mo I also refer to the fact that Ukraine has never lived for some many centuries under Russian occupation as Belarus did. Otherwise you might all have spoken Russian (and many ukranians still do). Also I refer to well-known historical fact that it was your Ukrainian national hero Bogdan Khmelnitskiy who betrayed the Great Duchy of Lithuania. By pledging his loyalty to the Russian Tsar Alexis. The Pereiaslav Agreement[1] (Ukrainian: Перея́славська рáда, romanized: Pereiaslavska Rada, lit. 'Pereiaslav Council', Russian: Переясла́вская рáда), was an official meeting that convened for a ceremonial pledge of allegiance by Cossacks to the Tsar of Russia (then Alexis, who reigned 1645-1676) in the town of Pereiaslav, in central Ukraine, in January 1654. The ceremony took place concurrently with ongoing negotiations that started on the initiative of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky to address the issue of the Cossack Hetmanate with the ongoing Khmelnytsky Uprising against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and which concluded the Treaty of Pereiaslav (also known as the March Articles[2]). The treaty itself was finalized in Moscow in April 1654 (in March according to the Julian calendar).
Khmelnytsky secured the military protection of the Tsardom of Russia in exchange for allegiance to the Tsar. An oath of allegiance to the Russian monarch from the leadership of the Cossack Hetmanate was taken, shortly thereafter followed by other officials, the clergy and the inhabitants of the Hetmanate swearing allegiance. The exact nature of the relationship stipulated by the agreement between the Hetmanate and Russia is a matter of scholarly controversy.[3] The council of Pereiaslav was followed by an exchange of official documents: the March Articles (from the Cossack Hetmanate) and the Tsar's Declaration (from Muscovy).
@@JO-nh6mo The council was attended by a delegation from Moscow headed by Vasiliy Buturlin. The event was soon thereafter followed by the adoption in Moscow of the so-called March Articles[4] that stipulated an autonomous status of the Hetmanate within the Russian state. The agreement precipitated the Russo-Polish War (1654-67). If your national hero Khmelnytsky (in whose honor you still name the streets) didn’t do that the story may had a different flow. Well that’s what you wanted back then. To side with Russia and to betray Belarusians again. Instead of helping them for your own good.
I also refer to the fact that ukrainians have never lived under a true disctartorship. And they don’t have a slightest idea what that really is. There are how many 7 or 10 or 15 presidents changed in Ukraine in those 30 years after the USSR fall?
And to a fact that neither you ukranians nor your dear European friends don’t want to officially accept the fact that Belarus is more and always was under more occupation of Russia than Ukraine has ever been. You simply don’t want to accept and state that officially, because you don’t see profit in that (and as we remember Ukraine is always after the profit and personal gain and totally pragmatic). You want to make business with L. and Russia and that’s why you don’;t want to offend them. And you pragmatically want common Belarusians to do everything for Ukraine while you never do anything for them.
Niall does support Putin though, at least every geopolitical 'idea' Putin stands for and kills for.
I’m buying you a new Irish hat: that one has seen better days.
Are you still teaching over there? What’s the atmosphere like at the moment?
Spot on.
Stay safe man !!!
I would say that your strange geopolitical analysis (blaming the USA for Putin's transgressions) can only be explained by you self-censoring and self-preserving. I really hope you are not under that much pressure.
You should take a trip to Yugoslavia and its former capital Belgrade to see for yourself the effects of the US led "transgressions". Better still read up on Syria and Libya. I am not saying that what Putin did was right (it wasn't as it was in contravention of the UN Charter) but to say that he was unprovoked is not only incorrect but disingenious.
@@IrishPartizan You are telling lies about what is causing problems in Europe NOW, we are not talking about things that happened in the Balkans 30 years ago(that was started in almost all cases by Serbia from 1991-2000 FFS but anyways) WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, AND IN THE VIDEO YOU TALK/RAMBLE ON ABOUT WHAT IS CAUSING INSTABILITY IN EUROPE NOW, AND DESTABILISING SOVEREIGNTY NOW, NOT IN 1990S OR 2000S-The only cause of that RIGHT FN NOW-is Russia's war and the ructions thereof. You are using a particularly garbage slanted view of history to promote LIES about the here and NOW.
I enjoyed your historical perspective. Nobody here knows history; in fact, the government and media try to erase it and most people are too wrapped up in the phones and pursuit of hedonism to notice or care. I admire Russia, and Belarus presumably, for their respect of history. Great video.
there is absolutely no problems with industries, neither in Germany or other free democracies. If just Ruzzia is defeated real bad, then world can be whole again.
Thank you for the real info! I'm from London and always wanted to come to Minsk, I hope one day soon and meet you for a pint and a meal! However , I have a question for you: Is it safe to visit Minsk while all these political problems still exist ???
It is always safe in Minsk.
@@АндрейКресс-е5п how to contact you if I'm coming to Minsk?
True words👍
Great to see you again and very insightful comments. I completely agree about the declining empires lashing out and all you've said there. Change will come - and I think to the words of Mao Tse Tung: "Change must come, through the barrel of a gun" Actually I believe the correct translation is: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun".
Even more difficult times are ahead of us, quite likely I expect, but let's enjoy consciousness and life as it unfolds before us - whatever it shall bring. Very insightful video my man!
Also, I can recommend Uniqlo Heattech gloves to keep those hands warm mate!
You are right. We are witnessing the fall of an empire and they are going down swinging.
Now I'm old and over the hill. Was I young and with skills I would go to Belarus
It's a solid retirement destination. Just list pros and cons from your perspective.
Excellent
I fiercely recommend you the book "The decline of the West" by the German philosopher Oswald Spengler published in 1918.
Good call. Someone else recommended me that book to me. I'll definitely check it out.
will you go to pub in minsk for WC final ?
Of course mate.
@@IrishPartizan which one?)
@@pavelsemenov3002 Hosper, Klever or Gvozd.
@@IrishPartizan it would be great to meet you live
Now we know the semi finalists we can be 100% sure it’ll be a fascist loving country v muslim country final 😛
Cheers Niall, look after yerself there
I'm American, but my husband is from Belarus and I lived and worked in Minsk off and on between 2005 and 2009. I have very fond memories of my time in Belarus and the people I met there. This seemingly unbridgeable rift between formerly almost interchangeable societies like Russia, Belarus and Ukraine is a tragedy in and of itself, but politics aside, my heart goes out to the people of Ukraine and their daily suffering and terror. I am also deeply saddened by the loss of all of those individual lives on both sides of this unnecessary conflict. What a horrible waste. I hope for a time in the future when things reach some kind of peaceful conclusion and I can eventually go back one day to visit a truly free and independent Belarus.
interesting but weird conclusion, you'll stay in a country that has been ruled by a nostalgic of the USSR for almost 30 years... and you will do that to get rid of the issues caused by the current declining power..sounds like living in a cavern during the industrial revolution, I love you channel though and I hope I can spend some time in Belarus I really want to experience that
Chicken ranch Ballybeg
Excellent analysis Mr. Partizan.
nice video
Can you leave Belarus?
Of course 😂
I stopped @ 01:00, right after "So", and imagined that the words "let's talk now about the elephant in the room" will follow. Alas, it was not to be. ☹
You should have stayed until the end. You missed the message.
Very interesting perspective, thank you. It is becoming more difficult to travel as someone who refused the covid jab, especially after COP 27 and their plans for a global digital vax-ID.
Who would want to? With pilots having heart attacks mid flight, etc.
@@ruth.greening well, yeah, there's that too.... i'm kinda resigned to not travelling anymore. I'll never test and never inject.
really like the way your mouth moves x
excellent video well presented and truthful!!
Thanks for sharing! Belarus is a very safe country and is not occupied by the globalist so enjoy your life there. 👍👍
Belarus is occupated by Russia
We're getting the snow cyclone in the US too. When you said superpower in decline lashing out I assumed you meant Russia. My wish for 2023 is peace and democracy worldwide!
Stay safe.
Insightful and educated video 👌
When you started describing a country as a declining world super power I thought you were going to say Russia not the US.
You describe Dublin like many people describe London. Like it’s NYC in the 80’s (or so it was described to me)
I 100% agree to promote people to travel.
Love the videos 🍀👍
Great video with a perspective, which is unfortunately not currently widely spread here in the west! Thanks!
wau snow )
Blaming ww1 and 2 on Britain is utterly ridiculous. You don't really believe that?!
@@Henry_Jones I know it's unfashionable to do so, but shouldn't there be some mention in there of the Germans and Japanese being responsible for their own actions?!!!
@@Henry_Jones that's dangerously close to thinking there was a moral equivalence(both equally bad) , when the reality was that the nazis behaved significantly worse.. actively exterminating millions with an evil ideology, and German people actively complicit in more than they would like to admit. Thinking there was moral equivalence basically neuters your ability to decide what's right and wrong which sometimes requires acting on a national or international level to prevent the wrong things happening.
Except for 'the U.S. is on the decline', I disagree with your historical point of view. As your (former?) home boys, U2, sang in "October": "...nations rise and nations fall...".
When I was younger I toyed with the idea of moving to Ireland, Dublin to be more precise.
I had good times there in Dublin and I always had the feeling that Dublin seems to be the only place to find work, I could be wrong but you also said that.
What you do with your life is up to you but for now I think you are making the right choice.
you'd want to be a millionaire to consider moving to dublin today, house and rent prices are crazy
@@shutup2751Oh god yeah!
You are one of the first I have seen, that understands exactly, what is going on on in this world
Slava Ukraine !
Someone turn on the lights!
Always good comedy to see Westerners consume media criticize your area yet look at how it’s operating like a Japanese train. Like it or not. I’m currently in the west too and do not have a false sense of democracy at all. We have on the other hand a huge train wreck! Even Canadians blame Putin 😀
HUm hum ... i doubt any period od stability could occur till Putin or Luka remain in head of both dictatorships Belarus and Russia
We love Putin and Lukashenko. And you can enjoy your libtard fascism and high energy prices.
I'd let the Russian and Belarusian people decide that one, not Tony Blinken, John Bolton, Vladimir Putin or Vicky "F*ck the EU" Nuland.
@@IrishPartizan smart indeed. Even if peoples have in reality no choice at all. August 2020 is another evidence in Belarus
@@alexg8637 Trolls here too !
@@jeromehubertable You mean opposion on eu and USA money? By the way some of these "oppressed" now openly say that they are fashist and fight in ukraine. Why you always support Nazism? What's wrong with you? Navalnyi also started his career as nazi.
