Comments by "Arty" (@arty5876) on "The Ukraine War From Russia's Perspective" video.

  1. Putin is trying to say that Russia had invaded Ukraine, because Ukraine wanted to join NATO, and NATO is threating Russia. NATO isn't threating Russia - both sides have nukes. If the war between Russia and NATO would start, this would be the shortest war in history, and both NATO and Russia's armies wouldn't have any opportunities to use their positions, such as a cotrolled by someone Ukraine... Russia don't need expansion, and Russia isn't targeting the expansion, because if Russia wanted the expansion - in 2008 Russians had an opportunity to conquer Georgia, but Russians didn't fully occupied Georgia in 2008. This is the evidence that Russia isn't trying to edpand and the goal of war isn't the expansion. Russia had invaded Ukraine, because : 1) Russians aren't seeing the Ukrainian people as people, they see Russians and Ukrainians as one people. 2) Ukrainian army was fighting against Russian separatist regions in the Donbass region, and this factor made Russian population feel angry towards Ukrainians ( I live in Russia and I know what people, that are surrounding me, are thinking). Russians are suppourting war and Putin, because for 8 years since 2014 Ukrainian military was killing Russian separatists in the Donbass region - unrecognized DPR and LPR governments. And Russians are counting this war as a "Crusade against Ukrainian nationalistic government, that was killing Russian rebels for 8 years". And this is true - Ukrainian government and governmental ideology is really nationalistic and anti-Russian in terms of history books and monuments. And war in the Dobass was happening for the last 8 years. NATO, as a nuclear operator, isn't threating the Russian security, and Russia, as a nuclear operator too, also isn't threating the NATO security. Putin is liar, and he is lying when he is talking about NATO expansion to the East. The reasons of war are ideological - Ukraine wanted to join the European Union, the Western World, and Ukrainian government and ideology are nationalistic and anti-Russian, while Ukrainian forces were killing the Russian separatists in the Donbass war since 2014. But "security of Russia", as Putin says, isn't the reason of war.

If Ukraine had entered the European Union, Russian economic elites would lose Ukrainian market, and Ukraine would become more richer country, and such dictator as Putin don't need democratic and more developed country near his borders. And also Europe would use American nukes in Ukraine as an instrument in question of Russo-European gas trade - gas pepelines are located on the Ukrainian territory. NATO, as a nuclear operator, isn't threating the Russian security, and Russia, as a nuclear operator too, also isn't threating the NATO security. Putin is liar, and he is lying when he is talking about NATO expansion to the East. The reasons of war are economically-ideological - Ukraine wanted to join the European Union, the Western World, and Ukrainian government and ideology are nationalistic and anti-Russian, while Ukrainian forces were killing the Russian separatists in the Donbass war since 2014. But "security of Russia", as Putin says, isn't the reason of war.

  7.  @sztallone415  Putin showed his nukes to the World, but there is zero possibility that Russians would really use them. Putin isn't mad and he isn't suiciditial

  8. Russia is gradually falling behind the West technologically, and the Kremlin understands this. So, in 15-20 years, the Russian nuclear arsenal would be useless. And then, Ukraine as part of NATO would really pose a threat to Russia - the time of the approach of missiles is low, the Russian air defense does not have time to react. Back in 2013, Dmitry Rogozin, the head of the Russian space industry, gave a speech in the Kremlin, where he said that the American strategy of nuclear war is to use intelligence and amazingly high-precision missiles to destroy the infrastructure of enemy nuclear forces. Russian Russian military intelligence, Rogozin said that the Americans would need about 5,000 missiles to destroy 80% of the Russian nuclear forces, the Americans have anti-satellite missiles. Rogozin said in 2013 that Russia has nothing like this. And think about what the situation will be in 2030. Putin can be understood - the expansion of NATO to the East is an existential threat to Russia.

  9. Sanctions wouldn't affect Russian economy - Europe can't refuse the Russian gas, and even in case of such events Russia would have Asian market. Also, gas is very small part of Russian exports. The main Russian export products - oil and wheat. Europe can't refuse the consumtion of Russian oil. Due to the war in Ukraine Russia would partitially replace Ukraine in wheat market. Russia started to trade gas for roubles, and at now dollar had fallen lower than pre-war level, Russian currensy is growing. Economically war in Ukraine opened the way to development to Russia. The only problem are logistics and computer tech, but Russians were able to produce their own computers even in Soviet times, and also China, South Korea and India refused to end trade with Russia. South Korea wants to trade with Russia despite the fact of war in Ukraine. Everything would be alright with Russian economy, war in Ukraine opposite would make Russia more powerflul in terms of economy.

Russia had invaded Ukraine, because : Putin is caring of hus popularity, because he is a dictator, he need to hold his position in power, and Putin is trying to make the dreams of Russian people into the reality. 1) Huge amount of Russians, especially elderly generation, aren't seeing the Ukrainian people as people, they see Russians and Ukrainians as one people. 2) Ukrainian army was fighting against Russian separatist regions in the Donbass region, and this factor made Russian population feel angry towards Ukrainians ( I live in Russia and I know what people, that are surrounding me, are thinking). 40% of Russians are suppourting war and Putin, because for 8 years since 2014 Ukrainian military was killing Russian separatists in the Donbass region - unrecognized DPR and LPR governments.
