#Russia #GeographyNow #Ukraine
This was actually a pretty accurate take on war in Ukraine by Geography now. I wasn't expecting this since they typically never mentions any politics in their videos.
Make sense since he tried to present Russia in better look few years ago.
And since then things went in worst way possible.
I learned a lot of extra details from this breakdown, good analysis

This piece with Crimean Tatars is inaccurate. It is true that nobody really cared about Crimean natives (Crimean Tatars, Crimean Karaites, Krymchaks) before, but now Ukraine recognizes these three as indigenous nations and promotes their cultures and languages. Many Crimean Tatars fled to mainland Ukraine during the annexation of Crimea, which clearly shows whom they generally support. Russia has jailed many Crimean Tatars on the basis of "terrorism" just because they were somehow related to Mejlis of Crimean Tatars (the representative body of Crimean Tatars in Ukrainian government which was outlawed by Russia). The ICJ ruled that Russia must lift the ban on Mejlis but they refuse. Under Russia, Crimean Tatar orthography was changed from its original Latin alphabet to the Soviet-era Cyrillic alphabet. Heck, Russia doesn't even recognize the deportations of Crimean Tatars and has never formally apologized!
In fact, Russia has ties with Rome. In the second half of the XIV century, the first sovereign of All Rus Ivan III married the niece of the last Byzantine emperor. And just after that, Russia had a symbolism with a double-headed eagle that came from Byzantium. By the way, this is where the theory of "Moscow is the third Rome" came from.
Honestly, native Russians who lived on the territory of where Moscow will be established, are not even East Slavs. They belong to the Finno-Ugric tribes, which is where some of the Russian language comes from.
Mexico and Canada would never want Russia 😂
Why is CUBA still on the grey list?
My take on this is Russia is a giant Karen.....
Most of russian words are slavic or Anglicism(like english word by Cyrillic letters). But Ukrainian language mostly has it's own words and much less Anglicism, that just means that our language more rich and more old. There are many more arguments about that...
@@Maria_Nizhny_Novgorod Noone asked ruzzian opinion LOL🤣 Get lost slave
Wow, if this shows complexity of the conflict and some actual reasons for the war for Russia then it only proves to me that Russia had no actual and justifiable reason to start this war. 90% of things said here by Russian character are no reason for a war whatsoever. The only things that could be solid reasons for going military would be if there was actual persecution of the Russian minority in Ukraine, but I mean really tough ones like putting in jail for no reason, beatings, not allowing work, education, use of social services, speak the language. There is nothing like that documented or at very least Russians didn't bother sharing them with the world. All they did is talk about it. I don't believe in them cause I have Ukrainian colleagues who actually are Russian speakers and no one cared about it, not before the war. Half of Kiev were Russian-speaking people ( and it doesn't matter if it was actually 20% not half, that is still a lot). The other reason would be if there was a real threat that Russia would be attacked. There was no such threat, who would have attacked them? Economically weak Ukraine with almost no army? That would be the "greatest" invasion ever. NATO? if they wanted to do it they would do in the 90s when Russia was really in deep shit. Look at the business western governments were dealing with Russia, western investments in that country. So, these are just made up or born in paranoic minds. All the rest of the bullshit like historical reasons, political mistakes.... if wars should start based on those then the whole world should be on fire. Well, maybe not world but Europe for sure as there is hardly a place in Europe that didn't belong to other countries before. Following such logic Poland would be legitimate to take back Moscow because it was theirs before. It was just occupied for 2 years but who said there is a limit. There are still thousands of Poles in Siberia, Kazakhstan and who knows were who were taken there by force and were actually beaten, arrested for no reason, forbidden to speak their language and with no civil rights at all. There are no polish missiles flying there, are there? There is a lot talk that Polish minorities rights are not really respected in Germany or Sweden but there are no polish missiles flying there neither. Start minding your own business Russia, like your "apolitical" citizens do. World would be so much better place if you did.
You are confusing colonialism with imperialism.
They go hand in hand.
@@DinaricWolf I would say that they moreso intersect in many, but not all aspects.

Personally, I think that the current Russian government is communists, not Nazis. Look, almost all of their political leadership is a legacy of the Soviet system and Communist party. Russia, even on paper, recognizes itself as the successor to the USSR. For example, they still celebrate February 23 as the Day of the Armed Forces (Red Army date). Accordingly, the President of Russia is also a former KGB officer, which is reflected in the level of freedom of speech, severe censorship and a large number of people imprisoned for political reasons, just like in former USSR. An echo of the Soviet past is also their dislike of America and NATO, like Cold War is still going on. Therefore, one can describe them as neo-communists or neo-bolsheviks.
Besides, i disagree with the idea that the Russian government is nationalist. Russia, as a federation, have are many different nationalities (Chechens, Buryats, Bashkirs, etc.). In addition, Russia have a visa-free regime with the countries of Central Asia, which gives a flow of a large number of migrants. In addition, these ethnic minorities and migrants have a higher birth rate than the native Russian population, which is not of particular concern to the government.
One of Putins advisors: Alexander Dugin, wanted a Soviet empire from Dublin to Vladivostok across the Eurasian continent. So it is more imperial ideals and taking over different ethnicities and adhere them to the nation. He is very anti-communist.
But putin is more right centrist in politics
@@ponos8632 meh, я так не считаю 🤷🏻
Да, ты прекрасно описал колониализм. В неоколониализме такого подхода не требуется. Ведутся прокси войны, устраиваются революции и устанавливаются нужные режимы с нужной политикой. Наднациональные комиссии, международные фонды и корпорации - больше не требуется колониализм в традиционном виде. Если ты считаешь что ЕС и НАТО это не оккупация Европы США, а сами эти смешные "президенты" Латвии, Румынии что то серъёзное решают без кураторства из за океана, то тут не о чем говорить. Ты веришь в геополитику. Она работает с античными временами или временами конкисты. Неоколониализм просто эффективнее себя показывает на данном этапе истории, в наше время. Про то что Россия фашистская и нацистская страна ты так и не раскрыл тему. При этом не упомянув в этом ключе Украину совсем. Что у тебя с головой? Вроде ты понимал что Украина для России это как Техас для США. И должен был изучить как из неё делали анти Россию. Видимо вам голову хорошо накачали там, да? Если ты мусульманин - мне ещё обидней что брат по крови и по вере засунул себе американский флаг вместо мозга.
Eh, all that aid Ukraine is getting is not for free
Germany also received aid after ww2. Germany lost ww2, Russia won, you tell me which one is doing better today?
@@anti-emo4721 Which one got pumped full of USD?
@@DarkPsychoMessiah West Germany! Even today, Western part of Germany is wealthier than eastern part of Germany (ex DDR).
@@DarkPsychoMessiah USSR also got hugely pumped of USD and military help + lend-lease. The issue is about communism, a planned economy, and centralized management. While from 1945 Western Germany started to develop as a free-market economy USSR lasted for another 50 years, which led to a painful switch from communism to capitalism in all ex-soviet countries.
Yeah, ruzzian frozen money will figure it out

A, I get it.
