@MrBahjatt 'Nielsen is an idealist.....'
I do not think so, he has a typical western colonial mindset which believes in innate superiority, the belief that the west sets the rules for others, but can flout any rules when needed. Nielsen is a neocon, the same as Boris Johnson, Blinken, Biden etc...
'He doesn't think NATO expansion should be seen as a threat to Russia.'
Whether it is a threat or not is decided by Russian perceptions. He should know that Russia has been the victim of countless invasions, the last one being from Nazi Germany. Soviet casualties were 20 million. Hence, the Russians are paranoid (with good reason) about being attacked. It was highly insensitive of the US to push NATO expansion.
Russia does not fear any of the Europeans. They know the Germans, British and the French are yesterday's powers. The British talk big and act Churchillian because of US cover. But the US is the threat. The Russians know NATO is just a cover for the US. The US plan was to have naval and missile bases in Ukraine to shut off Russia from the Black Sea. There is Rand Corp. report which the CIA commissioned on how to contain Russia, and it actively describes methods to stir up anti-Russian sentiments in surrounding countries.
'He doesn't know that it is a threat and may not know the Manroe doctrine.'
If he does not know what is Monroe Doctrine, he should not make videos. He knows everything.

@SVSky You have view that is self absolving. It was the US that pushed NATO expansion. Merkel and Sarkozy warned against inducting Ukraine, fearing to would lead to war - but Bush twisted their hand. It was the US that financed the 2014 coup in Ukraine that brought neo Nazi, anti Russian nationalists into power. From that day on war was inevitable.
You have not bailed out anyone, you created the Ukrainian problem with the 2014 coup - and you are going to walk away. This is after saying you will support Ukraine for however long it takes, after refusing to reply to Putin's request to guarantee Russia's security, and after scuttling the peace agreement reached by Ukraine and Russia in Turkey. The US incited the war, you dragged Europe into it, you blocked the peace agreement in Turkey, and now that you are defeated, you say Ukraine is Europe's problem, we are sick and tired of your wars! Shameless fellow.
Europe and Ukraine are at fault no doubt - for consenting to be US vassals. They deserve what they are getting. But don't put on airs of innocence. Get it, scumbag ?

The British below are fondly quoting Churchill as if he was a great savant. Churchill went to see Stalin and prostrated himself to get Soviet support. If Churchill had been around, he would have behaved just like BoJo, Sunak, Starmer. He would have talked big about the need to fight Russia, but would have expected America to do it for him.
As it is, America created the crisis in Ukraine by staging the coup in 2014, and now it wants to exit after seeing the mire. But the British want to be more American than the Americans, thinking it is a great Churchillian moment for them to shine and save the free world !
Boris Johnson stated recently that Russia must be defeated as otherwise it ends western hegemony (his exact words). No doubt that is the thinking of the collective west. But the collective west has been defeated in Ukraine, as the US is looking to exit, and EU + UK cannot save Ukraine. Western hegemony is ended for good. There is a new world order, the west can join it. Churchill was the epitome of western hegemony but it is not sustainable.

@AlexKarasev 'The Germans and the Poles are pretty good in that regard also, to be fair, but that's about it'
I don't think present day Germans can fight. The Red Army gave them such a thrashing that the German temperament has changed, and they have become a peaceful nation ! Mind you, neo Nazis are awakening in Germany, but fighting Russia does not appeal to them anymore.
I don't know why you think the Poles can fight. In the WW 2, they were over run by the Germans, till the Red Army came and liberated Auschwitz. The Poles are barking chichuas. They are rabid xenophobes, with an inferiority complex. They badmouth the Russians, and Germans also (while demanding money from Germany). But I don't think they can fight. When Russia moved some of those Wagner musicians near to the Polish border, the Poles had a shaking fit.
The British and Anglo Saxons are Russophobes. They do not have fighting ability, but they have great manipulative skills, and are masters at using proxies. The British ruled India by pitting one group against another, telling the Hindus and Muslims there they were different; they broke the Ottoman empire by inciting the Arabs against the Turks, when they had a lot in common as Muslims; now they and the Americans have pitted the Ukrainians against the Russians, telling the Ukrainians they are Europeans and they have nothing in common with Russians. The Anglo Saxons want to break up Russia like they broke the Ottoman empire, this time using the Ukrainians. Make no mistake of their intentions.
The fighting ability of the British in the past has been based on using Indian soldiers (Sikhs, Muslims, Gurkhas etc.) to fight their wars. They cannot do that anymore, so now they try to use the Americans to fight for them. Starmer went to see Biden to incite him to give Ukrainians the licence to fire their missiles into Russia. But the Americans refused as they are like the Brits, they don't want to die. If you look at the American army, it is full of Hispanics who were given citizenship in exchange for being a fighting force for the US.
The only one left in NATO who can fight that you missed out are the Turks ! They have the largest army in NATO, and they too are brave fighters. However, the Turks will never fight for the Anglos because they know how the British are.
In summary, NATO is a paper tiger, an expensive and cumbersome bureaucracy, run and controlled by the Americans, but the minor vassal states like Norway, Baltics etc. are given the post of Secretary General etc. They praise themselves as the richest and most powerful alliance, but none apart from the Turks can fight, and the Turks won't fight for any NATO cause ! The Ukrainians can fight, NATO would love to have them, but Russia has stopped that.

@trytwicelikemice3190 The problem is the Baltics and Poland have become belligerent, and they are living dangerously because they think they have US support. Ukraine also thought the same, and tried to misbehave with Russia, and it got beaten into a pulp.
Look at Lithuania. In 2022, it tried to show off by organising a blockade of Russian trains to Kaliningrad, piously stating it was enforcing EU sanctions. Lithuania's independence was based on giving Russian trains to Kaliningrad a land corridor. Two weeks later a Russian politician said it was time to reconsider Lithuania's independence. The media reported Russia can seize the Suwalki corridor and cut off the Baltics. Within a few days, Lithuania climbed down and abandoned the blockade. If it had not, Russia would have seized the Baltics regardless of Article 5 - and the Lithuanians would have found the US would not come to fight for it, and the rest of the Europeans are useless.
As for Poland, it acts like America's attack dog. Putin reminded that Poland was a gift of Stalin. If it had been left to Germany, there would be no Poland. The Poles were unable to free themselves from the Germans. If they had waited for the British, they would have been waiting a long time. It was the Red Army that got to Auschwitz and freed the Poles. Stalin could have incorporated Poland into the Soviet Union, but he did not. Stalin gave one of the Red Army's greatest generals, Konstantin Rokossovsky, a Polish officer who became a Marshall of the Soviet Union, to become Poland's defence minister. I would advise the Poles not to be ingrates.
So don't put on self-righteous airs about the Baltics, Poland, EU and NATO. You want to bait the bear, then don't cry when the bear mauls you.

Victory for the Ukraine is not possible, and the leaders know it. Biden's strategy for Ukraine is to try to prevent it collapsing before elections. If Biden wins, he will delegate Ukraine management to the Europeans, who are useless. He will focus on his next war against China. If Trump wins, that is curtains for Ukraine, he will not even pretend otherwise, and he may also withdraw from NATO.
Hence, don't indulge in wishful thinking, the Ukraine war was lost in 2023. Ukraine cannot retrieve Crimea and the four oblasts, and if it persists, it will lose more.

@angusmatheson8906 'Baker had no authority, it was off the record...'
You mean you want something for nothing. Listen son, with Russia either you play straight, or you don't play at all. If you agree to pay 10 roubles, they will not ask for more, or settle for less. If you indulge in your customary mischief and try to cheat afterwards, they will punch you in the face. Get it ?
'russias actions prove that NATO membership is pretty crucial to prevent Pooty from playing soldier'
So has Ukraine got NATO membership after Russia's action ? Biden said in the Vilnius NATO summit in 2023 Ukraine cannot join NATO and there is no road map. Lately, Blinken made statements that Ukraine will join NATO after the war - it is face saving statement to hide defeat. After the war, there will be no more Ukraine to join NATO.
If Ukraine had not announced after the US sponsored coup of 2014 it wanted to join NATO, Ukraine would have had the borders of 1991, including Crimea. The day it announced it wanted to join NATO, Putin took back Crimea. And Ukraine lost 4 more oblasts, and is in the process of losing more.
Then what evidence is your statement of NATO membership being advantageous, based on ? You are a numskull.

@williamzk9083 The rejection of western hegemony disguised as the 'rules based international order' by the rest of the world burns deeply in your western soul. Russia, China, India, Brazil, Iran and Muslim countries reject it and that is causing burning.
Here is the proof. In 2022, Boris Johnson said 'we must not let Putin win, as it would end the rules based international order' according to which the west sets the rules, and flouts them when convenient (as in Iraq). In 2024, Boris Johnson said that victory for Putin means end of western hegemony (that is the term he used). He was pleading with Trump not to allow a Russian victory.
Clearly, from Boris Johnson 's words, 'rules based international order' means western hegemony. He knows what is at stake.
You need to get real : Russia has created a new world order with BRICS, it has triggered de-dollarisation, and weakened NATO with a superior arsenal which the west cannot match. The west's main asset was its control of the financial system, and that is undergoing change too, and Russia and China are going to drive it. Ex Soviet states are irrelevant in the global importance of what Russia has done.
