  1. America doomed itself in Iraq when it disbanded the Iraqi military. If they had just kept all those guys on the payroll, then maybe no insurgency would have developed. Whatever it would have cost to keep paying all those guys, it would have been worth it.

  2. Russia disinformation and propaganda in America has been very effective. 20% of Americans think America is the bad guy right now and Russia is the good guy. These people are idiots.

  4. I've discovered that a lot of people living in Europe watch these videos. So if I upload in the morning in America, then people in Europe can watch it in the afternoon.

  6. It's been over 2 months and the average Russian still has internet. At this point their deniability in the act of genocide as a nation can no longer be excused.

  9. You can believe what you want. But the international community disagrees. The international community condemned the United States for invading a sovereign nation in violation of international law. Goals and objectives are irrelevant. The outcome is irrelevant. The world doesn't like it when powerful large militaries decide to invade other countries. It's not complicated. George Bush wanted to invade Iraq and he just went ahead and did it.

  10. The point I was making was about the comments section. A single person can leave a million comments and start trolling and arguing with everyone, but 98%+ of the people watching these videos are horrified that Russia is killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Ukraine.

  11. I have gotten this comment before that I am an "uptalker." I would love to speak differently if it would improve the listening experience, but I am not sure how.

  12. It's not my map. It's a famous map printed in Time magazine in 1950. Take up your complaints with the editors of the magazine who all died 40 years ago.

  13. It was a joke. I am making fun of a mass murderer by comparing him to a vampire. I have all the respect in the world to people who learn to speak a second language.

  14. Yep, live recording yourself while speaking can lead to easy mistakes. Cheers!

  15. I used to teach English as a second language in South Korea. I have the highest respect for people who learn a second language and I normally would never make fun of someone trying to speak my native language, but Putin is a mass murderer. So I cracked the joke.
