  2.  @larryo6874  two wrongs don't make a right. Ukraine has the moral high ground and it seems they intend to keep it.

  3. so, wars are probably a bad idea, then?

  5. It's refreshing to see "mettle" used correctly instead of "metal" or "medal." Thanks for that.

  6. $300B is closer to the amount we gave the USSR during WWII after adjusting for inflation

  7. Even back then I knew he was a gangster. I was hoping more for a benevolent dictator, at best.

  9. Imagine being PRC and watching RF depopulate itself in a useless war...

  10.  @Normandy-e8i  as Julius said, Russia will lose economic sovereignty, because no one will buy their currency anymore. Remember when they insisted that all oil sales be done in rubles? Their customers won't be doing that anymore.

  13.  @travisfowler8345  yeah NO. People come here believing in the US and wanting to be prosperous and free, they just don't adopt YOUR culture. Get over yourself.

  17. Coming right out and saying you don't intend to honor any treaties, ever isn't a good look for a country that desperately needs foreign investment.

  18. 13:30 It started out seeming like, after Yelstin left, that Putin was a guy capable of playing the 3D chess game of international politics, but now he just sounds like every other syphilitic meth addict dictator counting down the moments until he eats a gun.

  19. Putin's hands DO move, albeit very little. Also, the chair is moving because his body is moving as he speaks. I don't know where anyone is getting their ideas from anymore, but this is not AI.

  20.  @SteelPorcupine  nah it's actually a new approach for the US when engaging in proxy wars. I'm not calling it that because I think the US started it either, but that's what it is.

  21.  @rogerc6533  why? Russia respects no one else.

  22. A company called Lasoshi sells them in the US if anyone is interested. Not sure if 'TM "Maria"' of Ukraine is the same company as "Maria Sweets And Cookies," since the former's website doesn't show that product and I can't find a website for the latter.

  24.  @Micha-qv5uf  the US' goals are different. Sure we do regime change, but we stopped annexing other territories almost a century ago. Our goal is commerce, with our country at the top of the heap. Yes it's still dirty, yes people still die, but we don't seek to wipe out whole civilizations. We even stopped short of killing all the natives back in the day, maybe someone actually thought about how history would look at us if we did?

  25. Fico got less than he deserved. Slovak politics look more and more like Argentina's every year. Nothing but populist horseshit from the major parties, none of which can claim more than a plurality and all of which only manage to serve in coalition governments.

  26. that video clip is over a year old, he snapped a long time ago

  28.  @Apollonos  no what I mean is it's a proxy war from the West's perspective. I agree with your assessment of Russia's failure.

  29. I'm willing to bet that no matter what else happens, Putin can get Ukraine to stay out of NATO if he just gives up and gives them their occupied territory back. Ukraine could serve as the Russian link to the EU and they can all get very rich together as long as he gets his wish about NATO. I wish he wasn't so willing to destroy everything in an attempt to control everything. It's insane to think that he even can; and now that Finland has joined it's defeated the purpose. From here on out, he's on a suicide mission. I just hope his staff refuses to launch the nukes when he finally loses his mind completely.

  30. Wait till Musk finds out how the Republicans really feel about the space program and electric cars...

  31. As much as I admire and support the Ukrainian cause, I'm pretty sure the US would have been able to complete the same "special operation" within a month, and without bringing back the draft. That's not to say how weak the Ukrainians are, but rather how much more effective the US military is compared to the RF. As long as we don't let the Army handle seaborne logistics, we usually do pretty well against traditional militaries.

  33.  @johncubbin825  some estimates are closer to $60B, but yeah it was still pretty cheap. Do yourself a favor and look at GDP growth in the USSR all throughout the 70s when the USA was living through the "stagflation" malaise and a constitutional crisis triggered by Nixon. The USA had to go deep into debt during Reagan's renewed arms race in the 80s, and ultimately it was other factors that caused the USSR to fail so it wasn't even worth it. The people of the USSR weren't allowed to vote on it, Yelstin and his mafia buddies did it all illegally.

  34.  @callumjohnston858  The USSR never applied for NATO. It was a conversation between two diplomats with one basically suggesting it in a joking way. Now, show me the documents that support your claim or STFU.

  35.  @Fabianvolf  you're the one who is misinformed. Yeltsin expressed vague interest in joining NATO immediately after the collapse of the USSR, but Russia never applied. Huge difference. Read a book.

  36.  @callumjohnston858  you obviously didn't read your own source. Molotov presented a plan to the Soviet Presidium, it was intended to undermine NATO because as a member state they could just veto everything and neutralize the alliance. This speech was reviewed by NATO and critiqued as such. USSR NEVER applied for formal membership. These is no "informal application" process. Stop making up nonsense.

  37. The FoRL and RVC should just steal the heavy equipment that the RF army left behind, and take it with them back to Ukraine rather than continuing operations in Russia. I think that would not only embarrass the RF military, but it would probably get more Russian citizens on their side.

  38. Do you think Albania will ever join with Kosovo? As an outsider it makes sense, BUT are there any reasons why it wouldn't work in your opinion?

  39.  @nielsjensen4185  no need to explain that to me, I agree.

  40. Wendover has a good video about how corruption works in China, it applies to every dictatorship though.

  41. Israel doesn't just want to exist, or they'd stop building settlements in the occupied territories. It's not their land.

  44. whoa whoa whoa wait a minute: Russia was never a democracy as we understand them. The majority of citizens wanted the USSR to continue and the communists won the majority in the first free elections. Yeltsin removed Russia from the USSR illegally. And it immediately fell into mafia rule, there was never rule of law like we enjoy here in the West.

  45.  @karengiersing8547  remember when oil went below $0 a barrel? Well, we didn't get free gas, but US oil companies were forced to cut production. And any increase in oil prices leads to higher fuel prices, which in turn raises the price of everything else within 12-18 months as the real costs of those products (including the cost of transporting them) move down the supply chain. Two things you can always expect are inflation spikes after a fuel price increase, and a recession after tax cuts or major deregulation efforts in the same time frames of 12-18 months. So whatever happens in the last year of a given administration won't necessarily show up until the next one takes office. Trump benefited from Obama's post-Bush economic recovery, but hampered Biden's first couple years (compounded by the pandemic, of course,) and will do so again for whoever else comes after him this time around.

  46. The statement that one call from Xi could end the war isn't as silly as it sounds. Not only would it end the war, it would earn XI a Nobel Prize. That would be a hell of a feather in his cap.

  47. And you have Sky News to brainwash your people just like we have Fox News... yes, we are all in the same boat. The fascist fifth column in the Western world needs to be stopped.

  48. What decline​ @erikrehtlane4890 ? The US economy is doing fine, and China is still buying US dollars. Do a little research to balance out the doom and gloom on the news.

  50. MacArthur got fired, then rehired, then fired again. Think of all the commanders the US went thru in Iraq and Afghanistan... It's SOP, not even newsworthy.
