  1.  @pavelslutsky3114  OK typical Kremlin tactic demonize your enemy, anyone who is against Russian control must be a Nazi. The separatists had no aircraft so there was no reason for Ukraine to deploy anti aircraft weapons against them, don't waste my time claiming that they were trying to shoot down Putin and then blame the separatists. On the day MH-17 was shot down the Russian media company Life News reported that the separatists had shot down a Ukrainian transport aircraft in that location, they of course deleted the story very quickly when the truth became clear. The Kremlin actually originally produced evidence that a Ukrainian fighter jet was responsible, radar images, satellite images and even eyewitnesses. Of course when the fragments of the BUK missile was pulled from the bodies of the pilots they decided to conveniently forget all this.

  3.  @LancesArmorStriking  easy to prove a wanna be Russian who desperately tries to distract away from the issues and conflate them with pointless references

  4.  @LancesArmorStriking  You've speculated that Russia did not try to 'negotiate' back control of because of the the state of Russia following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Historically when Russia or the Soviet Union wanted to extend its territory this was done by force or at least the threat of force. Ok specifically then why couldn't Russia enter into talks over Crimea with Ukraine. So you do engage in whataboutism then, right let's see. You are aware that it's actually illegal in Russia to even campaign for succession? You are aware that Russia refuses to accept the existence of Kosovo? So here's the problem then Russia doesn't allow its own citizens the rights that they say people in Crimea had while Crimea was part of Ukraine......a right that was immediately taken away once Crimea was annexed...irony? Now we can look at the alleged referendum itself, just looking at the results claimed by Russia are typically those found in rigged elections in dictatorships such as North Korea. A referendum arranged by the Kremlin, with their man Aksyonov running things.... Are you familiar with the term 'fox in the hen house'? So Yeltsin was an advocate for the creation of a Presidency of Russia, can you suggest an alternative? Maybe a new tsar? It just seems like you are looking for ways to undermine Yeltsin at this point. Did Yeltsin ask Clinton for help in his reelection campaign.... yes. Is there any evidence that Clinton did...... no and certainly not in the ways you're claiming. The people behind the reelection of Yeltsin were the oligarchs, they were the ones who financed and supported his campaign, they were the ones who owned the news media that could destroy Yeltsin or elevate his popularity. Clinton couldn't do anything. Got it.

  7. Not even close

  8.  @ferdinand8994  nope, why don't you actually bother trying to find out the truth for a change instead of just inventing one that suits your opinion

  9.  @neres5795  you're still not crying over that...... when will ever begin to respect democracy? Stupid question I guess if you believe in the EU

  13.  @DVHeld  For decades the US and UK guarded the German border so don't deny something that's obviously a fact. Fairly recently even Trump pointed out that the apparently wealthy Germany wasn't paying its way in NATO. At no point did I mention anything about perceived threats... you've implied that
    2
  14.  @DVHeld  you've claimed NATO has nuclear weapons on the Russian border which clearly isn't true You keep claiming there are NATO bases on the Russian border..... how about backing that claim up? Yes there are NATO member countries that border Russia, but why should NATO deny membership to these countries just to placate Russia? Don't forget these nations were either forced into the Soviet Union or had Russia impose a puppet government, they have a right to distrust Russia. Ok if you are going to start making stuff up this is pointless, the US did not start trying to get Ukraine to join NATO..... that is a lie. You claim that Crimea is historically Russian, not exactly true is it? Only people like you could possibly try to legitimize what Putin has done in Crimea. The Tatars have far greater claim to Crimea but we have acount after acount of the brutal illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia. Again there is no evidence that Georgia was being groomed by anyone for NATO membership. The fact is countries that remained under the Russian sphere of influence has been kept poor by Russia, it's hardly a surprise that they would seek to improve their situation by turning to the west

  15.  @superhumantrueman  point is that they still have a navy that shouldn't be taken for granted

  16.  @tk5gqj514  there was British warships in the Black Sea not that long ago, you're talking nonsense

  17.  @tk5gqj514  point is NATO warships can enter the Black Sea if necessary, the only restrictions Turkey impose is the size

  23.  @LancesArmorStriking  You just can't stick with Ukraine and Russia, it's always what about... with you. We have the Bupapest Memorandum and the Black Sea Agreement in which in both agrees to respect the territory of Ukraine, the Black Sea Agreement is specifically about Crimea. These are agreements signed up to by Russia so stop trying to conflate the issue by constantly referring to western countries.

  24.  @justinblake420  and you know what's happening in Russia? I doubt that

  25.  @mrsupremegascon  no there's absolutely no evidence that Russia has learned from past mistakes quite the contrary. In more than two years now Donbas which Russia has illegally claimed is still part of Russia is still partly controlled by Ukraine now if that doesn't open your eyes up to how useless the Russian military is what will. Yes you mentioned a few captured places but progress is nowhere near 10km a day and the progress being made is at the cost of staggering casualties that Putin won't be able to hide for much longer. It's simply wishful thinking on your part to think there's a political/military crisis in Ukraine, yes some will voice their opinion because they're free to unlike in Russia where being critical of the military will get you 10 years in prison....spot the difference? The Russian economy is in crisis without support from China it would have collapsed already but you can guarantee they'll be a price to pay

  27. @unformedeight  you've confirmed my suspicion that you didn't like the video so seek to undermine it, I see this all the time. You have nothing.

  28. Oh they definitely do far more research than you hence the success of the channel

  29.  @Ganjor420  do you even know why NATO went to Afghanistan? A NATO member was attacked by terrorists, NATO charter Article 5. The Taliban were asked to hand over the terrorists they refused

  30.  @DanteLovesPizza  not a very convincing argument he seemed very willing to appease Putin even after Merkel had gone. When it came to condemning Putin I don't recall seeing them at the front of the line but of course Merkel had left Germany completely dependent on Russia for natural resources not exactly a smart move given how often Putin used natural resources as a economic blackmail tool

  31.  @Kafei01  thank you for confirming that the EU is an authoritain state that strips countries of their freedom

  32. If you can't see what Putin's plan is you're blind, he's stated his goals several times yet you ignore this

  35. You're delusional if you think Ukraine is going to vote for a pro-Russian president. So you were happy with Serbia committing genocide? The invasion by NATO was UN approved. If you want to see corruption and a complete disregard for democracy vist Russia

  42. ​ @pierocavolino1057 same applies to many countries. Yes you need certain documents but fake ones can easily be purchased over the Internet....go on try it. The visa system isn't that difficult once you know how it works. The repression of legal immigrants? Evidence?

  44.  @JJDelft  again it's irrelevant it doesn't matter if the average person can tell the difference between a German or a Russian one, you're fixated on a meaningless issue

  45. no Russia?

  46.  @cathaneisdying  Ukraine is 100% europe whereas most of Russia is in Asia.......its not propaganda
    1
  47.  @cathaneisdying  it's an independant country in europe....using your logic the Baltic states would not be in europe but they are in the EU. Ukraine was actually part of the Austro-Hungarian empire.....Russia did obviously invade Ukraine after WWI and then forced it into the USSR
    1
  48.  @cathaneisdying  "Like 2-3% of Ukraine was in the Austro-Hungarian Empire" OK you litterly made that up and it''s very very easy to spot. "Geographically speaking, Russia's European part is about half of Europe anyway" another made up fact, I suspect you don't know where european Russia ends So your'e to ignnore the Baltic states? What about Finland is that in Asia too??? There's a very good reason I know these things
    1
  49.  @cathaneisdying  you're just digging yourself a hole now. My family was from Ukraine so I know exactly how much was part of Austro-Hungarian and no it wasn't part Russia for most of its history. I used to live in Perm/Пермь which is right next to the Urals there's actually a hotel there called The Ural. I would spend time in Chusovoy/Часовой which is in the Urals are not 40%in Well you claimed if a country was part of the Russian Empire it must be Asian? Finland was part of the the Russian Empire, so it must be in Asia right? I'm not ignoring the geography or the history I'm just pointing out the huge flaws in your reasoning
    1
  50.  @cathaneisdying  Russia is considered Eurasian part Europe part Asia so that's possibley why it didn't make it the although I can't explain why Turkey did. I can guarantee Ukraine is in Europe, along with Belarus and they are definitely not Asian influenced. I'm as white as you can get. You're trying to use a faulty logic that if a country was once part of the Russian Empire or USSR they must also be Asian or Eurasian. That's no different than saying any nation part of the British Empire must European, American, Canada, Australia, India? Are obviously not European Russians aren't necessarily Slavic because of the size of the country, Chechens are not Slavic neither are Tatars or Chuvash. The Ukrainian language and alphabet isn't the same as Russian
