  1. This video literally state that it didn't start year ago. It is ongoing conflict from 2014 (and including hybrid warfare from 2000), what only escalated to full invasion in 2022. Unfortunately huge part of West, chose to ignore not only this conflict, but also hybrid warfare launched against own land. Fortunately not everyone in NATO was "brain dead".

  2. Clarification. Mercenaries are illegal in countries for security concern reasons. There is a good reason why they stop being used in 19'th century. But that doesn't mean that they can't be used abroad. Blackwater was closed (rebranded) purely because poor branding issues. Simple fact is that with exception of Wagner, what is actually a Russian Black-Ops Colonial unit, only posing as PMC. PMC's are usually tasked with body guard jobs and VIP extraction, but that is purely they unreliability and morale issue (no one die for money). It is not to circumvent law, because technically there never was proper worldwide ban. Internal bans are practical, what Prigizhin rebellion basically prove.

  3. Beaker actually promised not expanding NATO into East Germany, not the East Europe. The later claim is revision of Hitler Reborn. It was because FRG was part of the NATO, so with integration of both Germany, GDR also would become NATO. Americans also keep the promise, not establishing new bases on East until annexation of Crimea. Here it is worth to mention that Poland did get agreement of USSR to join NATO, what debunk whole big lie of Putin.

  4.  @NeostormXLMAX  My guess is that Black Water is basically defunct. They even change name on Academy, but it didn't help. Anyway, Western PMC's are highly exaggerated, as they actually are security companies doing security task. The Iraq was exception, because after rapid victory over Saddam, it changed in prolonged COIN. And there was no point of deploying elite mecha units to safeguard village in middle of desert. It is why US start hiring security companies. In fact most were from Iraq.

  5.  @CaptainFritz28  Propaganda is mostly on one side. What Russians claiming Martian hexa-nazi biking Jews conspiracy is largely consistent opinion of every other media. Including they supposed allies. It is because Russians mastered art of being deranged lunatics to perfection. And to be clear I do not trust what Ukraine is saying, but most of that it either omission or understandable. Far from transparent and self-contradictory lies and denial of Russian media and fanboys.

  7. Ukraine stated clearly that clearly that they don't want join NATO but the EU. Ukraine wanted to have the same relations as back then Finland. But paranoid Putin basically start self-fulfilling prophecy basically forcing Ukraine and Finland to NATO. Future of Belarus is also undetermined at this point.

  8. Yup. Thanks! I'm sick of people who think that drone warfare is anything new. When the term originated from Star Trek.
