Comments by "Arty" (@arty5876) on "Ex-CIA director predicts what's next in Russia-Ukraine war" video.

Betty Swallocks The war in the East of Ukraine began on April 14, 2014. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine announced the sensational news that Russian troops were in the East of Ukraine only at the end of August 2014. By the time Russian troops appeared in the East of Ukraine, the war had been going on for 4 months. At the same time, in August there was only a statement by the Ukrainian authorities. It has no evidence - there is no photo or video. In 2021-22, when Russia was pulling troops to the border of Ukraine, the United States provided the world media with satellite images of Russian troops and called the number. Where are the pictures from 2014? Ukrainian punishers shelled Donbass for 8 years, killing Russian people there. Payback time has come

Russia isn't trying to revive the Soviet Union

@Thinkingaroundthebox Putin says a lot about the USSR - for example, he once said that the Soviet economy was worthless and produced only galoshes. The ideology of Putin's Russia is not to rebuild the USSR. Putin and his party have no ideology or political views at all. He is neutral. Putin speaks of the USSR as something good and something bad. Putin called the collapse of the USSR a geopolitical tragedy, since in 1991 Russia voluntarily gave freedom to the peoples of Eastern Europe, and in return we received NATO expansion to the East. The West did not accept us into its institutions, although in 2002 Russia tried to join NATO. And the Baltic and Eastern European countries retained hatred and wariness towards us

Россия начала называться Россией в 1547 году, а не 1721. Что касаемо Киевской Руси, но я хочу напомнить тебе, что первой столицей Руси был российский город Новгород, а Киев был построен и стал столицей Руси несколько позже. Также если мы посмотрим на карту Киевской Руси, мы увидим, что в состав Руси входило много территорий, которые сейчас принадлежат России - опять же тот же Новгород, который был столицей раньше Киева, территории Рязани, Перми, Владимиро-Суздальское княжество, на территории которого была построена Москва.

Ты демонстрируешь космический уровень глупости и непонимания истории - Новгород, Суздаль и Рязань действительно были отдельными государствами. Я открою тебе тайну - в то время Киевская Русь не существовала как единое государство. Русь была раздроблена на множество княжеств, каждое из которых было отдельным государством. Киевская Русь была единым государством вплоть до 11 века, а в начале 11 века Русь распалась на множество мелких княжеств, среди которых был Новгород, Суздаль, Рязань, потом появилась Москва. Но факт заключается в том, что Москва была построена на коренной территории Киевской Руси местными людьми. Так что Россия - это такой же наследник Киевской Руси, как и Украина, и Беларусь.

Mariupol massacre? There was one?

If you support "human rights", so - what would you say about the fact, that Ukraine was shelling the Donbas for 8 years before Russia came to conduct a peacekeeping operation?

Betty Swallocks Stop talking nonsense - the rebels of Donbass are local residents. What Russian infiltrators?

Betty Swallocks It is impossible from the outside to artificially arrange a civil war within another country. You are spouting utter nonsense. In 2014, people in the Eastern regions of Ukraine raised an armed uprising. The Ukrainian army began to suppress these uprisings, and so the war began. What the hell are Russian agents? What are you talking about, how can you arrange a popular uprising artificially, from another country. Revolution and rebellion is always the will of the people. This always happens with mass popular discontent. It is impossible from outside, from one country, to create a revolution in another country.

Betty Swallocks The Irish, Iranians and others do support or have supported the rebels. But one thing is to support the rebels with the supply of weapons, and another thing is the very fact of the start of the war. It is impossible to organize an uprising from outside

Betty Swallocks Do you remember how America bombed Iraq, Libya and Yugoslavia? You think that territorial integrity is above all, and that Ukrainian punishers had the right to kill people in the Donbas for 8 years. What can you say about Kosovo? NATO countries bombed Serbia because of the conflict in Kosovo, although legally it is the territory of Serbia. You are a Western hypocrite. You accuse Russia of violating the territorial integrity of its neighbors, forgetting how the US and the West themselves violated the territorial integrity of Iraq, Libya and Serbia. Russia has every right to bomb Ukraine. Because you need to play by the same rules that everyone else plays, otherwise you will lose.

@16vjtdalfa Crimea was annexed without any shot, without fighting.

@16vjtdalfa Stop talking nonsense - the protesters in the Donbass seized the administrative buildings in Sloviansk on April 6-7, 2014, while the detachment of Igor Strelkov, who is considered a mishandled Russian agent, arrived in Ukraine only on April 12, 2014. At the same time, there is no evidence that Strelkov his detachment carried out the orders of the Kremlin. Strelkov retired from the Russian special services in 2013, and in 2014 he came to fight in Ukraine as a volunteer. The Russian intelligence services that you blame for starting the war arrived in Ukraine 6 days after the war started. Also, you have no evidence that these people are Russian agents, not volunteers.

@16vjtdalfa I mean there wasn't a war, when Russia invaded Crimea. The war started in april 2014, when Ukrainian punishers started to kill Russian people in the Donbass
1
Betty Swallocks If you consider the Russian peacekeeping military operation in Ukraine illegal, because you think that Ukraine have rights to bomb people on its territory, then what can you say about the bombing of Serbia in 1999? NATO countries recognized the independence of the Kosovo separatists, which by the way contradicts the UN Charter - the UN Charter puts territorial integrity above the right of peoples to independence. After NATO recognized the independence of Kosovo, NATO carried out a military invasion, tearing away its legal territories from Serbia.

@16vjtdalfa Russia took Crimea without any shot. There wasn't a war, when the annexation of Crimea happened in march. The war started in april

@16vjtdalfa Igor Strelkov resigned from the FSB in 2013. You have no evidence that he was following orders from the Kremlin. Maybe he went to fight in the Donbass voluntarily, of his own free will. Igor Strelkov is a Russian nationalist with the highest degree of chauvinism. Strelkov volunteered, unauthorized, went to fight in Yugoslavia and Transnistria, but why did you get the idea that in 2014 he acted in Ukraine on behalf of Putin? There is a completely incomprehensible situation here. Even if you are right and there are documents, we will know the truth at best in 40 years, when the Kremlin archives are opened, for example, after political changes in Russia.

Crimea is a historical Russian territory that is populated by Russians much more than by Ukrainians. However, in 1954, Russia transferred Crimea to Ukraine. Those were Soviet times. In the days of the USSR, no one could have thought that the USSR would cease to exist, and therefore Russia transferred its territory to Ukraine for maintenance - Crimea does not have a land connection with Russia, but it does have a connection with Ukraine. Therefore, in 1954, Russia decided to transfer this territory, because all communications and infrastructure went to Crimea from Ukraine, and it would be more logical to manage Crimea from the Kyiv administration. However, I repeat - this is Russian territory. In 2014, 60% of the population of Crimea are Russians, and only 16% are Ukrainians. In 2014 there was an anti-Russian coup in Ukraine, so Russia decided to get its property back

@16vjtdalfa And why did you get the idea that it was Strelkov who was responsible for the downing of the Boeing and the delivery of the Buk? Maybe these were already other Russian agents, and Strelkov acted independently of them of his own free will. In addition to Strelkov, there were many Russian nationalists and volunteers in the East of Ukraine who came there to fight. And all these people have nothing to do with the Russian state and Putin - they went to fight in Ukraine of their own free will. These people have nothing to do with the state and Putin. They didn't follow anyone's orders.

@16vjtdalfa Pro-Russian protesters in the East of Ukraine announced the independence of the DPR and LPR on April 6-7, 2014. At the same time, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Turchynov announced the start of an anti-terrorist operation. Strelkov and his detachment crossed the border of Ukraine on April 12, 2014, and the first skirmish that started the war took place on April 14. By the time Strelkov and his detachment ended up in Ukraine, the protesters in the Donbass had already seized administrative buildings, and the Ukrainian authorities had announced a military operation. Even before Strelkov's arrival, armed men had taken positions on both sides. Armed rebels set up roadblocks even before Strelkov arrived. Strelkov simply struck a match, which was already smoldering.

@16vjtdalfa You know, I agree with you about the "historical lands" and the fact that this is the wrong foreign policy. This is what Hitler did when he annexed Austria and invaded Poland over Memel. I agree that this should not be done. But in 2014 we were forced to. There was a coup in Ukraine. The pro-Russian president was overthrown, and anti-Russian forces came to power. Crimea was part of Ukraine while Ukraine was a friendly country. The USSR collapsed in 1991, and since then Russia has not made any claims to Crimea either in 1991, or in 1995, or in 2000, or in 2008, or in 2011. Crimea was part of Ukraine for 23 years after the collapse of the USSR, and this suited Russia until a coup d'etat took place in Ukraine.

Betty Swallocks The Albanians also carried out the genocide of the Serbs. But for some reason they bombed Serbia

@Brexmachine00 Why the hell do you blame Russia for the crimes of Stalin and the Soviet communists! Boris Yeltsin, the first president of Russia, played a key role in the collapse of the USSR. Russia itself has removed the soviet shackles from itself, and from all the countries of Eastern Europe. It is precisely because you Westerners associate Russia with the USSR that the war is going on now. Because for 30 years after the collapse of the USSR, you conducted a biased distrustful policy against Russia, expanding NATO to the East.
