  98. So you can sell products to them and not insult them in the process. There is literally no other reason for it besides mercantilism. Unfortunately, PR being about the media, people often get PR terms mixed up with real life terms and scientifically deduced knowledge. Like the word Alpha, what "class" country you live in (First world, second world, third world), and so on. These terms were originally marketing buzzwords that made it into the lexicon of human speech without an actual definition and then the definitions started to take on new meaning as PR firms saw need. It all revolves around your government, it's agenda and the type of propaganda it spews as well as large, multinational corporations that have interest in changing narratives and the propaganda they spew. We really need to take our vocabulary back as many people sound like they have no idea what they are talking about using these catch phrases that literally were derived from a PR meeting and from very greedy individuals that would like to unlock the human mind so they can sell you whatever they want to. In other words we are all proving them right, that we are sheep and can be controlled, when we roll with their ideas, mannerisms and speech. I believe that knowing things like this is the basis for being "woke" or "aware". And those buzz words are as useless as tits on a snake due to the fact that the words themselves have been tampered with and people constantly use them incorrectly for their political campaigns and sales campaigns but guess what? That's why they changed their meanings to begin with. So you think you know the "real" meaning. Meanwhile it never had a real meaning, it's just another buzz word in a world full of click bait ads and click bait videos.

  160. In 1912, Teddy Roosevelt was shot in the chest by a wealthy man named John Schrank, that wanted to stop Roosevelt from being elected for a 3rd term. Schrank had been following him on his political campaign, waiting for the chance to assassinate him. Roosevelt had a metal glasses case and his speech in his vest pocket, which slowed the bullet, but it still penetrated Roosevelt's chest. He was then driven to the auditorium he was to give his speech at, bullet lodged in his chest, bleeding, and delivered a speech that was over an hour long in that condition opening with "Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot—but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose." He was taken to the hospital after the speech where it was determined that the bullet was so far lodged into his chest that it would be more risk to remove it than to leave it. He lived the rest of his life with that bullet in his chest. He went on to win his third term. This is what Trump wanted to emulate. Trump was grazed and didn't continue his speech. Roosevelt had a chunk of lead in his chest and went on to deliver a speech of over an hour. Trump is no where near Theodore Roosevelt was one of the greatest American presidents. Trump isn't worthy to hold his jock strap. I am NOT a liberal or a dem. In fact I do not bother with politics since I learned of the electoral college. Since I learned that we as Americans DO NOT elect our president and that the president is elected internally by other politicians. Bill Clinton has a vote in the electoral college, for instance. Speaking of Clintons, Hillary won the popular vote. Trump lost to her. However the electoral college chose Trump over Hillary. Now we have Harris vs Trump. After Trump proved he cannot follow orders, there is a very slim chance that the electoral college will vote on his side, even if he won the popular vote by a landslide. So many people do not understand how the US political system works, especially it's residents. At this point in time elections are a money laundering scheme to help the rich once every 4 years which I find insidious. I would rather go back to the way it was when two people ran, the winner was the President and the loser the Vice President. This way someone from both parties is always in office. I feel that in this respect they would be able to get more done through cooperation that does not exist when you have two of the same in the office and the rest of the system is the opposite party, making sure nothing useful gets done.

  310. Tate claims genius. Claims high IQ. And he claims he is a chess champion. None of which are true, and exemplifies it by NOT knowing why we are giving out military aid and watching from a distance. What an idiot. This guy is a grifter and has the intelligence of sand fleas. It's how and why he got caught with the porn. Twice. Not once. Twice. Insult my intelligence once? Shame on you! Insult my intelligence twice? Shame on me. Do not let this charlatan continue. Give him no more platform space. It's bad enough he is fleecing the 12-17 year old crowd for $50 a month for access to things you can clearly find on both YouTube and the internet in general. Nothing he hands out is new or useful. He also relies on people that owe him. Which he gaslights into making them believe he is owed to begin with. It's all sad and I no longer want to see it or him. Do our young men need a call like this? Yes. But it doesn't have to be from him. He is a confidence man. And it is so obvious it's laughable he's not still in jail. Obviously Romania is corrupt. How else do you get away with ripping people off through deceit? After the BRITISH tipped them off that he was under investigation when he fled the UK. He didn't have UK money to get out of jail but it looks like he had Romanian money. He chose his new headquarter location pretty well. Did the research on that I can see. And he took the hit and went to jail because he became too popular in his particular brand of BS that if he didn't he would have lost half his fan base. Wish they all knew he fled London for the same reason and this is his second time being looked into for this. Wake up Tater Tots, this is what the Antichrist WILL look like.

  380. No no and no Roman. Affirmative action put people with little to no skill in positions they could not possibly hold. It was done on purpose to prove affirmative action did not work. It was one party against another as is the usual in the US. If everyone had taken it seriously and made sure their candidates for hire or education came with credentials to begin with, it was fine. It was the opposition that sandbagged the outcome. As per usual in this country. Next: A nerdy looking white kid is treated like a normal man in Russia. That is par for the course as Russia is a patriarchal society. In America we have a quasi equality going on. As in, law says we are all equal but not everybody treats each other that way. In Russia, it is the straight white male that dominates all corners of society. From gynecology to make-up. Weird that men would be the heads of those fields in any country. Not saying they can't, just saying the truth. For the first time in his entire life this guy feels like he is part of something. This is the issue we have in America now. Men, boys, are being marginalized on purpose as if two wrongs could make a right. They do not. What we need is true equality. It can't be forced. It will take time, study and understanding on everyone's part. Sooner we start the better. I understand this as I was born a long enough time ago to have lived most of my life in the male dominated society I grew up in. It wasn't until the 2000s that we started to see any type of equality for marginalized groups like LGBTQ+ and now they are no longer marginalized. Each group of people have watched another group in another time period retain rights and then follow suit. Italians were considered non white around the turn of the 20th century. Now, Italians in America are grouped as whites. Same as Puerto Ricans. They are grouped as white. They organized and fought for their rights and proved they deserved to be part of the system. In doing so they get labeled as "white". Not European, or even Native Puerto Rican, "White". That's how it works here. Instead of listening to the constitution, we constantly test it's limits to see what is broken and what is not. And we also seem to push it's boundaries in directions it was never meant to go. What you do not seem to understand is this guy is not complaining about entitlement. He is saying he was being left out due to being a straight white male. Don't you get it Roman? Straight white males are the new target for the woke system. Anything we do is "Toxic" anything we physically do is "Toxic masculinity", anything we talk about is "Mansplaining", anytime we want to help we are regarded as a puppy hopping up and down eager to be part of what's going on. Instead of being looked at as the tech pioneer and engineering genius that the group needed to complete the project and your space was taken by "Your female, LGBTQ+ or non binary name here" that knows about 1/10th of what you do but they don't want "your" help because you are a straight white male. Sheesh. It's tiring. Knowing two wrongs do not make a right, males never needed the rebuke, we just need to wake up to the fact that we are not the only humans here by a long shot. Best part? Gens Y and Z know this and treat females accordingly. Gen X is still struggling with these situations and the Boomers will all be gone soon so it's irrelevant.

  386. Americans spend absolutely no time talking about Russia or Ukraine. That was up last March. Since then, the average American stopped caring. Do not get me wrong, the average American does not wish war on either country. But they no longer care. It is happening far away and literally has nothing to do with us. YouTube isn't just an American company, they are worldwide, so if some people from EU YouTube booted Shaman, what are Americans going to do about it? How is protesting in front of an empty embassy about something no one in the embassy can fix going to solve this issue? And if the idea was to "alert" Americans to how angry Shaman's fans are about his YouTube issues? What did anyone think a concert would do? No one was there to watch it and report it to America outside you, Roman. Thank you? I guess....? Also, no one in this country knows who he is. Not unless they are living in Brighton Beach, NY or thereabouts...and even then, it's a slim chance...I didn't know who he was until I saw him on this channel. Nothing they are doing makes sense in any way shape or form. Looks like more pot stirring to me. Getting the people ready for the inevitable nuclear war that Putin will start and then blame on the "West" especially "America". Do you know why Russia has a crap army? They spent all of their military funds on Nukes. No lie. It's why the Russian space program barely gets by. That space program is about 100000X more important than a Shaman concert to poop on America. Yet here we are. I need a break now. This is hurting my brain and my heart.

  410. If a country attacks you and you HAVE to go to war, it's understandable. ALMOST unavoidable (Almost). If you are running low on resources and people and decide to attack a country to pit your best against your perceived enemies power with the stakes being all or nothing? You have lost your mind and should have concentrated on the long term prospect of growing your country. Problem is Putin doesn't have the time to see it through and Russia has a history of transfer of power being bloody, violent, and ultimately rendering the country inoperable for years after due to the new regime needing to reinvent the wheel (government) on the fly. I see why he thought he needed to do it. He szw no one that would see his vision though in the long haul so he went for a quick grab instead. His reach exceeding his grasp he felt he had to go for it. Little did he know he had neither reach nor grasp. It was stolen from him while he was busy elsewhere. One tire at a time. If he had taken the time to take actual stock before going to war he would have realized the error. In the end, however, his lack of sight robbed the country of it's power and influence since his first doomed invasion. And he has been seen as nothing but a pariah to the rest of the world since. In this day and age you do not need to attack a country to acquire it's resources. You just need to pay them the most. This becomes an issue for Russia when it's money is spread all over the place and it's currency is worth so little. McCain once said Russia was a gas station masquerading as a country. A little harsh but not far from the truth at the time. The Russian economy needs to blossom. There was never reason for war. It's all paranoia anyway.

  461. Over a million people fled Russia due to the war or fallout from it. Most of them being military draft age men, so there would be a shortage in labor. It's also come to my attention that Putin thinks he can localize everything. Which isn't impossible but will take a long time to do. If Russia and China got together and did this together, you'd have something. However, even China won't get involved per se until that war is resolved and best I can tell, Putin & Co. have no intentions of going to the peace talk tables unless they get what they want. Ukraine feels the same way but doesn't have enough people. They can have the best equipment in the world, they will still lose when they run out of people. They are not part of NATO so there is no protection, and they are no longer part of Russia and the current neo commie dictator wants Ukraine back. They were, after all, the breadbasket of the Soviet Union. Knowing all this I am sure the Russian military will wait them out and then take over the entire country at this point. And that is the reason there are no peace talks. It's obvious who has the upper hand in man power. The issue with that is the Ukrainians are fighting for their home. They're not looking to loot and raid and take over. They have no choice but to go on to the very last man. Russia wants to loot, raid and take over. The only way Ukraine could pull this off is for Putin to be assassinated. Even if Ukraine gets enough equipment to bring it to Moscow themselves, it would lead to nuclear war. This is a no win scenario for Ukraine. No matter what they get and what they do, they will eventually run out of people. It's plain fact. They can't attack Russia for fear of nuclear retaliation and they can't keep the Russian military off the border indefinitely. I am afraid there is absolutely nothing they can do but lose. Pretty sure the Military Industrial Complex of Russia figured this out long before they invaded.

  498. My grandmother was born in Russia. Her older brother and father (My great uncle and great grandfather) died fighting for Czar Nicholas II. When the Bolsheviks won it necessitated families loyal to the Emperor (Czar) to leave Russia or face harsh punishment and or death. They were penniless due to the economy and what the Bolsheviks took when they came to power and they were wanted even though they were a mother and sister. Not actual combatants themselves. So I get why you left, Roman. It's been happening for hundreds of years. There is a time of prosperity and peace followed by a time of war and famine and it was a vicious cycle in Russia up until Putin. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And here we are. Russia has a dictator calling the shots again and people are running for their lives again. My Great Grandmother and my Grandmother came here ~100 years ago to escape what you just escaped. War, poverty and famine. Let alone basic human rights. This is Russia's actual issue. You do not need a strong hand or a weak one. You need a consistent government. If the Soviets had been left there you'd be in a better place than where you are now. If Putin hadn't turned dictator, you'd be in a better place than you are now. If the Czar was still installed you'd have a better country overall than you do right now. The problem hasn't been with the people or the times. It's with the turn over of government after government over short periods of time that is damaging and has been damaging Russia. If Russia is to survive it needs a new and fair government, economic system and serious upgrades to both infrastructure and commercial industry. Oh and that isn't my opinion I just typed. It was my Great Grandmother's opinion from the 1970s. See, in her 90 year life span she saw all that and as a Russian native wishing she could live at home back in the "Good 'ol days", this is how she felt. And I happen to agree with her based on looking at the evidence available and coming to the same conclusion. Please mind that she never new or heard of Putin as well and still came to the same conclusion. It's a cycle that repeats and repeats. It needs to end, that cycle. The Russian people can do without and are famous for it so why not do it now so Russia can enjoy something in the future? You may never see it but your grandchildren will and would thank you for it. As for you particularly? I think you need to get off the fence. Pick a place and make it home or go back home but either way, make the choice and stick to it. The longer you sit on the fence the less you get done in your life. At the very least go back to Uni for a while and pick up something new while you are away so you have something to show for your sabbatical. Edit: My Great Grandmother did what you are doing now. They moved to the eastern Slav countries, then Germany, the UK (London) and then America. They didn't want to leave Europe. They truly thought a Czar would come back or maybe something not communism would happen. They left for America right before WWII broke out. When it was obvious Stalin, the dictator, was going NOWHERE. That he had a steel grip on power in Russia and was not going to be letting it go. Sound familiar?

  745. Hey hey hey now! There is NOTHING important about LA. Rampant crime, a huge homeless problem and plastic people litter the landscape along with gang violence and the occasional riot. Hell no LA is not important. This is where the Manson family killed. This is where the Zodiac stalked. LA? It's a joke. They call it tinseltown because all that glitters is not gold. It is very fake and what you see of it in media, that isn't what I have described, is filmed by people that would like to increase tourism. Now. I live in WA on the West Coast. I was born and raised in NY East. A 40 minute drive (sans traffic) from NYC proper and a 20 minute drive from Queens which was considered East NY and not part of the city until the early Aughts. And I can tell you from experience that it's not like that. In America there are pockets of EXTREMELY wealthy people that reside within throwing distance of each major city and if anyone had issues with a city, it wouldn't be a major one as this country is decentralized on purpose. They would have issues with places like Park Slope or Calabasas where the Rich exceed the rest of us by a large amount and entry into these places sometimes comes with prejudice undertones and downright racist real estate agents steering people. Even Calabasas had issues with it's first Hip Hop label moving in and tried to remove them. This did not work and now 1 out of 10 Top 100 Rappers live there. Ironic what happens when you tell people no. To sum up, if we have a problem with anywhere in the US it's Florida. I am sure you have heard the "Florida Man..." stories. They are all, sadly true. However even Florida has it's mega rich and ultra expensive areas that keep others out with armed security. The division between the haves and have nots continue in this country and will, eventually, spark another civil war.

  770. As for your initial question, am I happy? With the political climate is what you are actually asking: Not really. No matter who was elected it was going to be a dumpster fire floating down main street USA in a flood. I am OK with Trump repealing term limit laws. I am. But I do not feel he personally should be that person to sit in power for years. He is simply too old. It wouldn't matter anyway. If you have seen recent photos of him, he looks really old and really tired. Kind of like Biden did at the beginning of his presidency and surprise surprise they were both the same age at their inaugurations. Trump will be Sleepy Trump now. Or maybe Trumpvanwinkle. Who knows. But I do know he is 78 and not getting younger. He is now tied for the oldest person to take office with Joe Biden. This all said, I will circle back to having term limits relaxed or changed. I do not want to see a Putin, however no one can get anything done in 8 years, let alone the 4 years of 1 term, when the two main parties that exist barely agree on anything. Seeing someone in there for an FDR length term would be nice. However, said person needs to be what the country needs. And right now, we need to reassess priorities and check a few things happening. The government needs to be involved in food pricing, as it has gotten out of hand. They need to stop printing money, and we need to balance the budget which includes national debt. And that is just the absolute tip of the iceberg. Rampant capitalism and the raping of the American wallet needs to stop. Elon Musk having some proprietary and mostly useless role is next to hilarious. I think it is ridiculous he named the dept. D.O.G.E. to boot. There was a song where an MC burps on the mic to prove that he has a record deal and can do anything. That same MC never had a hit after that. I do not think Musk will last long doing anything for Trump. To conclude, no, I am not happy. I feel World War III coming on, and fast, but I hope I'm wrong and I can only hope that there is a large silver lining to this very ominous rain cloud.

  787. Interesting. A Russian YouTuber, one of the bigger ones, making a good amount of $$$ talking about Russia, the Soviet Union and visiting every spot in not only his home town but also a few other places. With the exception of one video where workers turned you away from filming the sludge that was dumping into a small pond of it in front of a government building, most of your videos depict the life of what seems to be the average Russian male your age. Do you really think Russia was happy you left? That you didn't stay to see what happens? That you are no longer there to tell your fans you are Z and proud? No? You must be young. Russia moves slow from jump but they are also in the middle of a war. Each request for another person to get citizenship in another country is a punch in the nuts. And whereas they will eventually process each and every one, yours would take special precedence and consideration. And that's from Russia's side. From Portugal's side? Some people saw the buildup of military along the border of Russia and Ukraine and left the country. They knew what was coming. You waited. You are in the mix of people running from the war and based on your age, size and health? Should have been drafted. They have many draft dodgers there already. They will do their due diligence in vetting everyone. Why give citizenship to a Russian that is fine with returning the day the war ends? It's a waste of office time which is money. So they are probably putting all of those into a "We'll see" basket and processing them more thoroughly. I could only imagine how hard it must be having people from both sides ending up running to the same place for the same reason. Europe is now a refugee camp. Not like it wasn't before, but these new refugees act privileged.

  807. McCain, a US senator and war vet used to call Russia a gas station masquerading as a country. Now, that isn't exactly true but it rings so true. Russia was once the forerunner in the space race. Russia was once a tech giant. Russia was once a military juggernaut. But it came at the cost of her people. The new way gives the people more but makes the country look poor. No more innovation. Brain drain, all the top minds move to other countries. Cities getting so old it's ridiculous. Only Moscow is kept up in any positive manner and it's not all positive there as well. I do not understand why leadership cannot see this. And for the ones that do? How can they sit by and not care? It is very sad to see. I said before that one day I wanted to go to Russia and live there a while. A few years to a decade was the thought but I do not think it will be viable within my lifetime. Not after everything from 2013 on. I guess I missed my shot in my 30s. I pray that it will happen but I do not have hope that it will. It seems too remote. Too far off to think that all of a sudden the people running the show will realize how much damage they have done and reverse full course. I just can't see it. In my own country my contemporaries think that we actually hold sway, as common citizens, in our elections and we do not. The electoral college does. It was put together at the time of our countries inception and was put in place to make sure that if for some reason everyone decided to vote for Putin to be OUR next president, he couldn't be. The other 9/10th of the vote belongs to the Electoral College and they would never let that happen. The only thing the citizens do here is have a "popular vote". That's it. 1/10th of the vote. That's it. 400 Million people get 1/10th of the vote. Which means we don't vote at all and all the damage being done by drawing lines is symptomatic of ignorance of the way our government works. Which is how they get you. The only way through is in. You have to go in but those that do never come out the same. See how that works? No, a new, single world government is needed. I am pretty sure this is what got JFK killed. I do believe he was planning on explaining this to the people. Also, on a local government front, the elected officials in the US do not hold the sway that the internally elected leaders do. Not even close. All elected officials can be shut down by people that own that section of that town, county, village or state. In order to get actual justice you often have to have your case moved to another jurisdiction that is not in league with the people that own the one you live in. And in other cases it is impossible without serious awareness. Awareness in the 10s of millions of people is a minimum.

  851. 19:38 Apple is a multi-national corporation, and each branch will work with the government in which it is located, in this case, Russia. American corporations are soulless entities with the legal rights of a living breathing person in a court of law. Their one and only sole purpose is to make money for the shareholders or owners. They have no other function. Russian corporations are the same. There is no real difference in how to apply or maintain these. It is ironic that way. All of the PR and Marketing would have you believe they care, and they do care, about money. Apple in Russia is doing what the government is asking it to do based on the agreements it signed in order to operate in Russia as a company. Apple Russia also does not report to Apple America, but to Apple International. And so long as they make money, they will continue to. Google deciding to take issue with the war and Russia banning Google products like YouTube have contributed to Apple Russia's market share to grow from about 20% to 30% since the war started. This beats even the Chinese companies like Xiaomi. Apple is huge in China as well for the same reasons. Apple produces underpowered, overpriced devices that have incredibly developed and streamlined software in order to get the most out of its products. They produce many of their products overseas, so they do not have to worry about American taxes and tariffs and the countries in which it operates are usually grateful for that. Their OS is regionalized for each market, and they have a presence in each market they are in with stores and offices. They hand out many jobs and they offer a way to make money in each economy. Having Apple in your country is a win-win for each country they are in and their multi-national approach to business is the reason why.

  881. Did you really compare Texas to Poland? Last time I checked you have been to neither. I have been to both. You are patently incorrect and are spreading misinformation by saying that. Roman, why are you all of a sudden acting like RT pays you? You are literally telling people what Texas USA is like and you have never BEEN in the USA. Let alone Texas. Before that you were talking about Poland, you have never been there either. Why would you talk on topics you have absolutely no clue about? You need to understand something. The US states are not like Russian Oblasts or former Soviet Satellite states. The United States is one unified system. Each individual state operates and generates its own people and minor policies however they are all AMERICAN. If you were to throw a person from each state in a group they would find commonality as Americans. Are there extremists that may make it seem through the lens of the public media that the states are each different? Yes. Are they? No. We all do the same things. We get born, educated, work, pay taxes, live, and then we die. The only two guarantees in this country are death and taxes. And that is something every American can agree on. And moreover, most of the world. When I visited Poland it was both beautiful and friendly. I did not once have an issue with anyone and I did not see barefoot, pregnant 17 year old Polish girls running around markets before dinner time LMAO! Nor did I see a country full of bigots, racists or misogynists. Although you can find these people in every country. Come on Roman, you can do better.
