Comments by "" (@ericsaxon5736) on "The 3 great MYTHS of the UKRAINIAN WAR - VisualPolitik EN" video.

  1. I'm glad they are discussing Mearshimer's videos, ONE MASSIVE point to be remined of is that, the video in question "Why Ukraine is the West's Fault" is SIX years old, that's right 2016. As in, he's not some guy who started saying this stuff 4 months ago in 2022, this is a video from 2016. So when someone is spewing nonsense about it being wrong about 2022 or Russian propaganda, just remember, this is an American professor and an America political analyst's opinion, that was not formed based on the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. And he predicted the stupidity, greed, posturing and false promises of NATO to Ukraine. And he also informed everyone how and why it would force Putin to do exactly what he is doing. This is a guy who made his analysis known, during President Obama's term in office, not Trump's or Biden's.

  2.  @Ushakov_Mykyta  So you should watch the video. Essentially however, NATO specifically the US, extended an invitation for NATO membership, to both Georgia and Ukraine in 2008. The idea is simple, allow the US to have a military base in the Ukraine and in return the US will give you $$s and American service men will spend $$s in your country. Kharkhiv is 750 kms from Moscow, for us Americans that's 500 miles away. The US wanted access to an invasion launchpad 500 miles away from Moscow. I promise you, Putin remembered his history of 1940 and 1811, he remembered the last two Superpowers and how they affected Russia's National Security, when permitted to be much further way from Moscow, it is very possible he made his decision based on that history. Volodymyr Zelenskyy decided to force the issue. We knew Russia's troops were gathering on Ukraine's border on April 5th, 2021, almost a year before it was an article here in the West that told us about it. Volodymyr decided to escalate things, instead of giving Russia reassurances. He taunted Putin and he did so for almost 10 months.

  4.  @ShubhamMishrabro  The US almost started WWIII because the USSR wanted a military base in Cuba (1,131 miles from Havana to Washington D.C.) Bush put missile systems in Poland in 2006 or 2008, I don't remember which since I can't research this right now (its 700 miles away from Warsaw to Moscow) and I assure you, we HAVE military bases and a presence in Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, etc... so you are blowing smoke if you claim otherwise. NATO membership absolutely means hosting a US military base in your country, at least if you are close to Moscow. It isn't forced, but $$s make politicians very flexible. Just ask "any" politician on the planet. I am very cynical about politicians and the sort of stunts they pull, so please forgive me for that.

  5. ​ @ShubhamMishrabro  NATO does not plan nuclear arms or bases in Finland, PM tells paper. That was in my Google search. I wonder why she felt the need to say that? What do you think? Do the other NATO nations hold US nukes? I hope we never find out. But I have a feeling that the agency that replaced the KGB knows, and probably so does Putin.

  6.  @ShubhamMishrabro  Not sure why my reply didn't make it, I was replying to your deleted/unposted response about how the NATO membership is just a Russian Boogeyman propaganda. You should have a look at the Brookings Institute US (A Think Tank) article from May 6, 2008. "Ukraine and NATO Following Bucharest" You should tell my fellow American countrymen in 2008 how this is just propaganda and how the Russians have no reason to feel threatened about it. Because I've been aware of this issue for quite a while and 14 years of warnings apparently fell on deaf ears and now innocent people are dying because people couldn't be bothered to take this matter seriously.
