If you didn’t know. In 1954 the USSR asked to join NATO. NATO declined this offer.
The same was in 2000 when Russia asked to join NATO. And Bill Clinton said NO.

It’s the closest we’ve got to a Franco-American Split and like the Sino-Soviet Split afterwards they became allies again after the Cold War ended
France and America signed an undercover secret deal in 1966 essentially telling France that if the international situations require France's complete involvement in the NATO structure, they would need to rejoin. From 1966-2009, this wasn't a big issue. Politically, this decision had great support by the French people in 1966. They were kinda busy with other things at that point. If NATO requested that they joined the NATO structure during the time period of 1966 to 2009, they were required to do so. However, this never happened and they simply rejoined fully in 2009.

Russia is definitely the underdog in any conflict against NATO. NATO currently has a military spending of $1,307,329,588,778 ($1.31 trillion dollars) with 10,260,945 square miles of land compared to Russia’s $109,000,000,000 ($109 billion dollars) in military spending with 6,323,142 square miles of land. NATO has over 8,671,080 military personnels to Russia’s 3,708,000 military personnels. Seeing this trend, NATO might have a military budget that surpasses Russia’s entire nominal economy.

Interesting how former Warsaw Pact members are now in NATO. Especially Poland who went through excessive Soviet interference from 1945 is now poised to be the leading member of NATO in the East against Russia.
Our countries suffered alot cuz of the soviets (and not only them), it was only logical to join NATO
@chinsaw2727It's kind of fair enough considering that the Russians were the primary force behind the partitions of the PLC and a participant with the Germans in 1939. The Russians and polish have been geopolitical rivals fighting over eastern Europe for the last 500 years. The Russians are like enemy number 1 for them historically. That type of animosity takes time, respect and effort to change, and neither side seems willing to do so.
@chinsaw2727 i mean poles never chose to join the pact, thats just want the puppet regime did
dude they all were ussr proxy states with 0 independency
@chinsaw2727nah it was because they installed a puppet stalinistic regime which had to do whatever Moscow commanded. We wouldn't join Warsaw Pact otherwise no matter who "liberated" us (just clarifying since you clearly got the spirit of the message right :p)

So you're faulting them for spending years trying to avoid armed conflict? Would this war have been somehow better if it was fought decades ago for far fewer and less justifiable reasons? Shills have no thought process.
they didn't "let" anything happen. it wasn't their choice in the first place
Such a great hidden lie on the second point. Russia was against expansion from beginning and started war when NATO got too close. Isn't that obvious? What is the cause of expand after Soviet Union collapse? The answer is simple. Greed, control, power.
России плевать на Швецию и Финляндию,но России не плевать на Украину, вступление Украины в НАТО опасно для России, вступление Швеции и Финляндии в НАТО безразлично для России,это очень слабые в военном отношении страны с маленьким населением,и не сильно увеличивают опасностью для России,но если НАТО нападёт на Россию, Россия применит своё ядерное оружие, понимая что в этом случае не будет победителей,но если в мире не будет России,то не будет и мира вместе со всеми странами НАТО, Россия это не Югославия и не Ливия,по зубам НАТО от России получит очень сильно.

I love all the extra little details, like the blowing of the kakhovka reservoir and doing it by month rather than by year!
small thing, I don't think Tunisia or Morocco were ever covered by NATO. Algeria was as it was a part of metropolitan France, but other African territories by NATO member states aren't covered unless specified (like how Algeria was specified specifically to be covered by NATO when it was a part of France), so France's other North African territories weren't covered, including Spain's African cities of Ceuta and Melilla
Indeed, nor were remote islands in the southern hemisphere.
I think this map just shows the territory of NATO members
NATO officially protected anything above the Tropic of Capricorn. So that’s what I went with.
@@EmperorTigerstar fair point, but not technically true
NATO officially states in Article 6 that the treaty only covers the territories above the tropic of cancer which are in Europe, North America, Turkey, and North Atlantic islands, not just anything above the tropic of cancer, Algeria was a special case which France argued for
Kind weird to paint accurate frontline movements in Syria, but for Ukraine to use russian annexation claims instead of actual current frontline. This video makes it look as if Russia currently controls Zaporizhia and Kherson cities, but it doesn't
Ukraine looks so off without the Kakhovka Resevoir

Soviet Union tried to join nato in 1954, if that happened the Cold War would be WAYY more stupid. Imagine having Italy be communist but Czechoslovakia be democratic due to the coups being “allowed” because everyone’s in the same alliance.
The only coups in Italy were attempted by neo-Fascists and former monarchists that NATO protected in its secret structures.
i don't think coups are allowed in between nato countries.
if the ussr did join, nato would basically just become like the un security force localised to europe. only ever used for conflicts that would've had both sides agree anyway (ig like the boxer rebellion or the somali pirates stuff but during cold war europe)
the west would just make a new nato without the ussr anyway

A good way to refute the official purpose of NATO - that it's a defensive alliance - is by simply pointing out where Portugal, one of it's founding members, is on a map. There are only two circumstances in which Portugal would be in need of collective security: Either it gets attacked by one of it's nearby neighbours, all of whom are in NATO, or it gets attacked by an enemy that has steamrolled through Europe and defeated most other NATO states first. Either way, any scenario in which Portugal needs NATO's help is one in which NATO doesn't work.

Fun Fact about why austria isnt in NATO:
Austria had been devided by the allies much like germany after the second world war, and Austria quickly moved to reunify all of its country back into one piece. The allied parts of Austria weren't an issue, but the north-eastern side occupied by the USSR didn't budge. So eventually Austria made a promise to te USSR that they would not join any military alliance against them in exchange for a fully united Asutria, and both sides agreed to this trade-off. Since then, Austria has been unable to join NATO because of this, and therefore remain neutral to this day. Can't tell you much about Switzerland though, they barely had anything to do with either world wars.
Switzerland is pretty easy. They've maintained a policy of neutrality since after the Napoleonic Wars, and joining NATO or any other military alliance would pretty quickly end that.
You know you’re on the wrong side of history when a 200 year old neutral country since the time of Napoleon joins against you.
Tbf. Sweden and Russia always disliked each other but yes Russia is on the wrong side here

But no reaction to that at all, which just shows that Putin is using it as excuse, in reality he knows darn well that NATO doesn't pose any threat unless he would invade NATO country and thats EXACTLY why countries in Eastern Europe joined NATO because they have known all along that Russia could one day again be threat to their independence and Russia showed exactly that when it invaded Ukraine and Georgia before that in 2008.
RUSSIA/Putin have only themselves to blame that European nations see them as threat and they have proven to be exactly that
Is this the 4th time you had to remake this video?
As someone told Putin: “You caused this.”
🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇳🇴 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 💪
Literally nothing happened
As NATO is based on the couple of the physical presence of American troops ,You should also have done in my opinion on your map indicate the countries which accept American or Canadian bases on its soil for example France hosted bases between 1950 and 1967
If Saar was a French protectorate until Jan 1 1957, shouldn't it also be blue in the same way Cyprus and Algeria were until their independence?
Nope. Legally it wasn't a NATO member but French Algeria and British Cyprus were.
the Saar protectorate was a seperate entity from France, whereas Algeria was considered a core part of France itself, and where Cyprus was considered a core extension of Britain as it was a crown colony which was in Europe and above the tropic of cancer which fits the definitions to a NATO member's territory covered by NATO
Love how he even got the land reclamations of the Netherlands
Another good reason to go to live in Ireland or Austria
the horrors of a united west.
What happened with Ireland, Austria and swizzerland?
Nothing happened to them, they still exist today
@@Mahakhala Those three countries are neutral well except austria. Austria didnt join NATO but the EU in 1995 alongside Sweden and Finland and austria could have joined nato too cause that treaty with the USSR is not valid anymore. Now austria has political problems thanks to Karl Nehammer which he is against EU, Ukraine and NATO and Pro Russia. Also he vetoed Romania and Bulgaria (two NATO Members that are also EU) To join schengen area. Now if Austria wants to join NATO they will get not only from romania and Bulgaria but also from Turkey,Greece,Germany,Italy,France and Slovenia a Veto cause their democracy and the schengen accesion of romania and Bulgaria wasnt even fair
Putin has made NATO stronger and more unified than ever. Best sleeper agent ever!
They literally do nothing lmao best cope ever no wonder why russia is winning
@@KNİGHTSSS324 you have a point. Russia has been stuck for 2 years fighting against Ukraine alone, if NATO intervened directly to the full extent of its capabilities Russia would be wiped out by Ukraine
@@Nisselak hhaahha
Now NATO shouts “Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby! BAD DOBBY!”
