And now we're sending this woke army into a potential sh!t storm. I fear this won't end well.

@vanja2565 For those who have a decent knowledge of that history it's quite amazing how much more fierce the Serbs fight when fighting for the Ottomans.

@vanja2565 If you look at the historical record that isn't exactly true. If it were they wouldn't have been so easily occupied for so long. If they actually fought as well as they did for the Ottomans (which was quite often) when facing them (which was rare) the situation might have been different. Honestly I'm not sure if the Ottomans would have expanded as fast and as far without the extreme loyalty of Serbian fighters. I guess you could say Serbians deserve some credit for the growth of that empire.

@vanja2565 It would be false if that specific grass you're referring to was dying and yellow. You underestimate just how many times the Serbians joined the Ottomans in battle during the Empire's growth phase. Delving into a few books would remedy for that. Just like looking at dying grass and understanding it's yellow and not green.

@vanja2565 You've gotta be kidding me. I'm not even a historian and I can rattle off 3 major wars the Serbians turned the tide of for the Ottomans. When the conquered South Eastern Anatolia, (Kings and Generals has an entire episode on it) an entire Serbian detachment helped them win. When they had to fight Timor from the east, again the Serbians fought like maniacs for the Ottomans. One of the Ottoman's major incursions into modern day Romania was also done with a huge Serbian detachment. These are just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are 100s more if we bothered looking them up. Fact is the Serbians played a HUGE role in how fast and how far the Ottoman empire grew.

Armenia won the first Karabakh war because they were armed to the teeth with Russian weapons while the Azeris had nothing. It was basically fully armed military fighting civilians. When they had to actually face people who shoot back, well we know how they reacted to that in 2020. I do agree with you that Armenia is corrupt to the gills though. But they do seem to have bigger problems than their corruption. The mass delusion and societal cognitive dissonance forces them to make some really bad decisions as well.

@Denisk751. That situation is so bad our government doesn't even bother giving a justification for it. They just say ISIS over and over again, as if that is why our troops are magically stationed near all the oil reserves lol

@Prato do Povo, the EU wasn't silent. They made remarks condemning the Azeris but they also had to be super careful. It's not a good look when you're condemning the side which is enforcing international law and defending the side breaking it. The EU was put in an awkward position. But their behavior on the matter wouldn't have changed anything, EUrope doesn't have that kind of clout. The Azeris would have basically just told them to piss off.

@Pouria Jafarikia, So you're going to pray for the side which illegally invaded it's neighbor and ethnically cleansed 800,000 civilians? What are you praying for exactly? That they do it again?

@plasmaticmedia518 no Iranian ever tried to take my freedoms away either

@Chris Tos, You're right this was kind of like justice for Armenia. Frontier justice.
1
@thecossackcrusaderofholybr8448 I guess when the Armenians figure out that invading other nation's internationally recognized territory and brutally ethnically cleansing 800,000 civilians was not the best of ideas. They'll be fine, when they figure that out.

@sakogekchyan7366 I'm not exactly sure that detracts from my answer to your question. It's an answer which should be heeded.
1
@sakogekchyan7366 "Your people." You believe you can make decisions for people who you don't live near based on what exactly? Your level of hubris is quite terrifying. As far as Azeris I've never even met an Azeri in my life. Nor do I try to make decisions for them which won't affect me one bit but will change their lives. You know, because you'd have to be a real selfish douche bag to think like that right?
1
@sakogekchyan7366 You say people aren't starving yet when I look it up the per capita income of Armenia is around 1,800 dollars. Compare that with your comfortable income that you probably earn in California. Now within that 1,800 a simple search can show you that doesn't even tell the full story because wealthy people's are also included in that. Not to mention the level of corruption in that country is through the roof so the majority of that wealth is in the hands of the very few. So what does that leave your average poor Armenian villager? Less than 500 dollars per year? I'd imagine that isn't an easy situation for them and the only way to rectify that situation is through trade. You can't trade with the world if you're a landlocked nation with no relation to the only nations which give you an exit route to the sea. Not to mention if you're blocked out of the largest markets in your region. As far as Georgia, they aren't too interested in dealing with Armenia either. Like with their other two neighbors Armenia also has territorial claims on Georgia. The only bordering nation Armenia doesn't have aggressive territorial claims is Iran. You know Iran is basically cut off from the western economic system right? Not to mention you're in trouble when the only neighbor you get along with is the insane Islamic Republic of Iran. I can't think of one nation on the planet which has put themselves in such a situation with their policies on the planet. It seems to me Armenia's biggest enemy isn't their neighbors, it's the fact their country is essentially run by people who don't have to deal with the repercussions of the policies they push. The nation is literally run by people who literally don't live there and the political pressure they push which makes for some of the most self destructive foreign policy I've seen from any nation on the entire planet. Armenia isn't poor because Armenians are idiots or are simply lazy. Unlike Azeris who seem to be nowhere around here in the west I've met tons of Armenians. They aren't idiots nor are they lacking the industrious trait. So again why is the country so poor and in such terrible state? I'd imagine the problem is you and the millions of people like you. Who essentially run the policy of that nation from thousands and thousands of miles away. Until that stops, those poor villagers are screwed. Having massive issues with 3 of your 4 neighbors is nothing short of insanity. You'll claim your neighbors are insane and impossible to get along with but that begs the question on how Georgia gets along with both Turkey and Azerbaijan just fine and does a massive amount of trade with them. You guys want to run a Nazi type ethno centered foreign policy? That is fine, you can do as you please in your own country. But being that aggressive when you're the weakest state in the region is one of the craziest things I've ever seen in foreign policy. No group of people are stupid enough to behave like this, unless of course if you're one of the few nations where people who don't live there control the political atmosphere.

@narukami597 History has seen over and over again how an insulated ruling elite can get completely detached from the reality of things on the ground. Highly intelligent people aren't immune to being delusional.

@thomasthereal4067 You might want to look around sometime. It is easily demonstrable what is going on. The west's share in global GDP is shrinking at an extremely rapid pace and the elites in our nations are panicking about it.

There is no chance France is going to officially step into the Ukrainian war with troops. 1. what troops? 2. The few fighting ready troops they do have, what are they going to fight with? France only has enough ammunition for a few weeks in a large scale wall (if that) 3. France is a 3rd and perhaps 4th rate fighting force. Their troops would get slaughtered over there.
1
@Free World, so you think it was wise for Armenia to be illegally occupying the territory of a nation that much richer than it?
1
@michaelweaver2627 No nation is going to cluster their munitions manufacturing. If it was this easy to destroy munitions pants, wars would never last long. But they do. This idea that Ukraine is going to put a dent into Russia's arty shell manufacturing to a point it will hinder the Russians is a pipe dream.
1
@Z Yes because it's not possible that at that the Azeris are mad because their land was illegally invaded and occupied along with 800,000 of their civilians being ethnically cleansed. Nahhh, that can't be the reason they're mad, no way....

@Nil16179 Come on bro. Germany can't even get Greeks to work, you think they're going to go off and fight a war? lol

@lollllolll. Even though I'm not part of the group you're saying ya'll too and I don't speak for them, I can confidently say you aren't speaking from a position of knowledge. I'm not sure if you're aware of the relationship between the Turks and the EU these days, making a statement like "Ya'll shat your pants when the EU banned talks" is an extremely odd thing to say. As far as them speaking Kurdish and Arabic, at what point has Nato helped that country in any of their conflicts with Arabic or Kurdish speakers? You've also called England a power house. I've never heard of a power house being a vassal state that hides behind the skirts of another. As an American I can confidently say two things. 1. You seem to not know enough about the region you're speaking on to make any rational points. 2. As an American I can confidently tell you that your nation is a vassal state to my government. You don't make policy, we do. You just follow it. That isn't within the definition of a "power house." You're a dying and decaying nation and your government knows your long term existence and survival is through being our vassal state.

@metalmesh7251 I'm not exactly sure what you're asking and what point you're trying to get across. It all just seems incoherent to me.

@Aren Berberian, if collectively as a society you guys didn't believe in this ridiculous notion of your racial superiority over your neighbors, it might have given your society cause to actually prepare a proper defense. But you viewed your enemy as "dumb monkeys." Your leaders didn't "purposefully lose this war." Your society in general went full retard on this one and paid the price.

I don't think this guy has an agenda other than putting out content and making money. I've seen videos with heavy agendas, this isn't one of those videos. He makes a real effort to simply explain what is going on.
