  1. How is Russia going to pay for example Iran after it runs out of its sovereign wealth funds? China might take oil and gas as payment, but I don't think Iran needs any oil from Russia and has little use for it.

  2.  @burnadze  Hyper-modern military weapondry like the tanks built in the 60's that even Ukrainian farmers are towing away? 😂

  3. People like you also said joining NATO would be a bad idea until reality hit.

  4.  @golagiswatchingyou2966  "People in the past lived lives of pure poverty and had more kids than we do today by a long shot across the globe." Yes and a) they were dumb by todays standards b) did it because the chance of a kid not making to adulthood was much higher.

  6.  @jbcom2416  Germany built an LNG terminal in 6 months, Slovakia didn't even try to divert because Fico is obviously corrupt.

  7. It's better to be positively rather than negatively surprised so expecting the worst is a sound strategy for survival.

  8.  @patrickc8007  Best decision with 0 benefits so far. Not even the British themselves think it was a good idea but majority admit it was a mistake.

  9.  @DrakonPhD  "Over the past few decades, social scientists like me have found consistent evidence that there is an almost zero association between having children and happiness. My analysis in the Journal of Socio-economics (Powdthavee, 2008) is a recent British example of parents and non-parents reporting the same levels of life satisfaction, on average."

  10.  @mysterioanonymous3206  UN isn't clairvoyant and can't see the future exactly. Population shrinking is only a temporary problem when during the change smaller number of people have to support more elders. Besides that, population decrease is a benefit as limited resources are spread among fewer people and things like housing become more affordable. Also, productivity growth will compensate for the temporary problems of large age groups being retired.

  11. So much control of Moscow that they were not able to remove them without the treaty many years later. If they actually had control, they would have been moved in 1991 or 1992.

  12.  @alexsnow5092  Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland: all have much stronger GDP growth after joining EU, better quality of life than for example Russia and much lower corruption than as they had as part of CCCP.

  13. It's the type of mentality that is not even that uncommon: rather than packing their bags and simply moving to place they would be welcome start problems in the place they happen to be at that moment, no matter how they got there.

  14. Population collapsing is about as much a problem as having the amount of cancer decreasing would be a problem. The disaster is having 8 billion people on this rock with scarce resources, the disaster certainly isn't having that population decrease by significant amount.

  15.  @tracym8952  Your country convinced Ukraine to give up 2000 warheads in exchange for security assurances from you. Now you pretend this war has nothing to do with you 🤦🏼‍♂

  16.  @Bustamaru  Going by your logic, US was Soviet Union before Soviet Union. EU as a union of countries or a single country has next to nothing in common with Soviet Union.

  20.  @aachoocrony5754  "that's not true." Yes it is. Even ethnic Russians rather live in Estonia than in Russia. Otherwise those in Narva would all go back to Russia. Reason why they stay in Narva is that even though it's one of the poorest cities in Estonia, it's much better than what they could have in Russia.

  22.  @dallastaylor5479  Good, it's the most nonsensical target: to try to promote higher population in a place that is already scarce in resources.

  24.  @Kaiserboo1871  About 650 from UK alone died in those wars, to you that is just a "token" ?

  25.  @Kaiserboo1871  You expected a country 1/10 of your size to send as many to the pointless wars YOU started? 🤦🏼‍♂ Did you take the short bus to school?

  26.  @Kaiserboo1871  UK casualties per million are almost exactly the same as yours in the the wars mentioned, you can't do elementary school math?

  27.  @tracym8952  And now instead of honouring the spirit of the deal you made with Ukraine, your president is helping the aggressors that invaded them.

  28.  @patrickc8007  I didn't claim, all was caused by Brexit, I claimed many companies went bankcrupt solely because of Brexit and others suffered more because of it. And not just companies but consumers also. "Brexit has already contributed to Britain’s particularly high inflation by introducing friction into the country’s most important trading relationship, and hitting the value of the pound, which has made imports more expensive. A recent study by the London School of Economics found that Brexit was responsible for about a third of UK food price inflation since 2019, adding nearly £7 billion ($8.8 billion) to Britain’s grocery bill."

  29.  @aachoocrony5754  And about sovereignity: the Baltics are sovereign but your country is a CN vassal.

  30. ​ @aachoocrony5754  Russian economy isn't even close to 5th largest, you are using old PPP adjusted numbers. We don't care if potatoes are cheap in Russia, it was the 11th largest and is nowhere near that anymore. It had already smaller economy than places like California and Texas alone, and now the only thing growing there is military spending which doesn't improve quality of life. Estonian is a NATO member, it's some buffer only in your imagination. I discuss it, because it's a great example of what happens when a country leaves the RU influence and moves to EU and NATO instead. Life is much better in Estonia compared to RU.

  31.  @aachoocrony5754  I lived in Estonia, life there was good. Little corruption, supermarkets full of things to buy that I could easily afford. Now I live in southern Europe, same thing and life is great. Unlike in Russia where babushas try to survive on 200 a month without indoor plumbing. Anybody that has been to RU outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg knows what a pathetic country it is.

  32.  @hyhhy  Russia isn't going to be able to produce and sell many modern jets to Iran in the future because it will need them themselves and production is limited.

  33.  @nubitynub1757  "When did Europe go to America's aid?" You have short memory or just ignorant? Only one to ever invoke article 5 was US, many lives of NATO soldiers from other countries were lost in your wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even Ukrainians were there backing you up without even being in NATO.

  34. Nope.

  35.  @mysterioanonymous3206  Great way to demonstrate you have no clue what you are talking about. You suggest people move to western Europe when many countries there are highly indebted and almost all are more in debt than Latvia. For example France 100% of GDP in debt, while Latvia is something like 35% and Estonia under 10%. If Latvians wanted to move somewhere to avoid tax increases, Estonia would be the obvoius choice. Flat tax at about 20% and almost no debt at all guarantees that they have a fraction of of the pressures to raise taxes compared to many if not most western European countries. The issue of demographics is a small problem when productivity is growing steadily and the country has little debt. There is no threat of huge tax hikes, especially when comparing to other EU countries.

  36.  @aachoocrony5754  Russia has never had a positive ratio for them in the war in Ukraine. They are still losing about 3 or more per every Ukrainian casulty. Nobody takes your silly numbers seriously.

  37.  @aachoocrony5754  By GDP Russia was 11th before the war, and now probably something like 20th if you take into account real numbers. The numbers coming out of RU are 1) Falsified 2) Inflated by defense spending which means nothing because it can't go on long term and doesn't improve quality of life. Countless people don't even have indoor plumbing and toilets in Ru, explaining why they steal toilets from Ukraine.

  38.  @vario8414  no society is collapsing just because of a population decline, it would actually cause society to thrive if population would go down drastically.

  39. It should be NATO making the threats, not the other way around.

  40.  @alispeed5095  EU isn't afraid of Russia🤦🏼‍♂ France alone could likely deal with Russia at the moment and the production capacity of EU is something like 20 times what Russia can do. If there would be another world war and Europe would really go into a war economy, Russia would have little chance.

  46.  @emmeadowmitbbs3537  as the video said they don't even have the capacity to deliver such amount of gas to China and China isn't going to buy Russian oil more than it self needs and then sell it to third parties because that would obviously risk China being sanctioned also if it so blatantly started helping Russia circumvent sanctions.

  47.  @Shyhalu  Oil, gas, fertilizer, grain and weapons are pretty much the only things Russia produces of value. The fact that the country is large doesn't mean much, their economy is smaller than some individual states in US.

  48.  @Shyhalu  Pointing out the realities of Russian exports isn't "cope", learn the meaning of words before embarrasing yourself online. You are correct though on the Taliban, they are Russia's peer group with places like NK.

  49. ​ @tracym8952  It was you that convinced Ukraine to give up 2000 warheads so enabled ru to invade them. Now you pretend you never signed that deal and this was has nothing to do with you, while your own president is appeasing the aggressor.
