  1.  @Life-Is-A-Meme-t5h  There is literally not enough gold to support international trade. It is why gold standard end in 19'th century. Furthermore you always could trade with resources or other currencies. Nothing new.

  2.  @mubpfc  Here is the problem. Status of dolar is not a conspiracy. Countries already can trade with alternative currencies and resources. Reinventing wheel is only a rhetoric. China has no real solution to this problem and they know it.

  3. Russia already break guarantees it give to Ukraine, alongside no border disputes agreement after WW2. Previous agreement work on assumption that until now Russia didn't break its word. So Finland and Sweden have no reason to believe Fuhrer Putin anymore and can enter NATO purely on fact that Russia break his word.

  4.  @limo7779  Lol. Your brainwashing's is amusing. Cyprus is not in NATO. Poland is not on Ukraine. Russian little green man are. But as hired troll, you know that. So I would not waste time on you.

  5.  @markjackson7467  You have really bad info for someone backing himself with some inspector? Moving fast doesn't mean moving effectively. Rommel didn't run out of fuel. Also literally everyone know that despite one milion army of Russia, they actually can't move it. They have after all huge territory, several potentially hostile neighbors, internal ethnic tensions and potential risk of provoking NATO. And that assuming post-Soviet hardware can even work and post soldiers can use guns. Assuming that Putin in fact hold himself from mass shelling, it still doesn't explain lack of air superiority, with bombers going into actions after missile stockpiles started drying. Generally most of what actually has offensive combat value (expedition forces) was already deployed. According to US there are no signs of mobilizations of additional forces, only attempt to unclog machine in hope that Ukraine break fast enough. Lot of analytical data anyway.

  6.  @rohankishibe8259  Basic understanding of economy is sufficient to know that Dolar is not a conspiracy, but simple fact that it is reliable and free currency. What China is doing is actually to menage exchange of the resources by equivalent of Soviet Transfer Ruble. So virtual currency managed by China, to allow simple transfer between BRICK countries. If you ask what happen to Transfer Ruble. Well... Russia never payed it back. Same would happen to Transfer Yuan.

  7. @Akash Yadav "Trading in gold coins with value set by international community is much more reliable" Only if in Communism would size control over entire planet and rid of black market. Not happen. Gold circle already break in 18th century. As people would rather use more available silver at this point.

  8.  @Luredreier  Northern Europe would not spend even penny on this project as it is entirely pointless. Even in case of Russia that is loony vanity project from times of Tzars (US CVBG can park on Indian ocean making it pointless. Not to mention that Azerbaijan is allied with Turkey ad hostile toward Iran). In fact only people who make profit on it is India, what could expand into Central Asian and Caucasus. So Russia basically shot itself in the feet.

  9.  @lalit5408  Like literally thousandths before them. People pick dolar for practical reasons. Petrodolar was a thing to remove currency and resource fluctuations. Reverting it would only weaken position of petro-States.
    14
  10.  @dislikecounter6392  It is why they weren't in NATO now. Plus fact that Finland was created as part of agreement with USRR. But there is one difference now. Completely illegal attack on Ukraine! In this context they would still be better of in NATO, then Putin randomly deciding to invite them next for lolz. Honestly what we see now is almost like clastic case of Putin being hit by dementia (he is 70's after all) as his actions lost any logical coherency.
    13
  11.  @JohnSmith-vg6hb  Honestly if not numbers, Russian pathology would stop exist long time ago.
    11
  12. That is both true and false. Yes. In some regions it is true risk. But on the another time Russia straight refused to acknowledge that world moved forward and repeat circle of misery they caused themselves. Problem is that territorial expansion over mostly poor and undeveloped countries, instead actually reforming own economy and making use of own resources. Turn Russia in they nickname "largest third world country on the world". It is also source of conflict on Ukraine. People there realized that Russia is nothing else then parasite, sucking blood from anything around to fuel own paranoia and competition with enemy what strength doesn't care to come.

  13. Venezuela and Iran destroyed themselves. Iraq is perfectly fine.

  14.  @Vsor  First of Saudis. They may have Patriots, but not proper NATO system. Plus they are Saudis. They lost few Abrams tanks to insurgents. And yes. Thing is already in working.

  15.  @jamiemarsden3823  So degrading from WW2 to WW1 tactic (as it ever worked). Yes please!
    8
  16.  @derbaeumaed8158  Oh no! How slaves dare to defend themselves! Russia need defend itself from defensive pact, who only attack them in they dreams. Because you know. It is a defensive pact and only Russian TV claim otherwise.
    8
  17. And by extend angering everyone and speeding up own downfall, as its own population start realizing that they life and wellbeing are sacrificed for worthless territorial gains and ego stunts.

  18.  @Morlev44  Probably related to 14 wars and constant threats from side of Russia.
    7
  19. You miss important detail. That was before the war. China basically kill they north belt project after the war started. Chinese are fully aware that Russia would weaponize pipes, so they actually aren't too happy to trade with them. But until Russia paying and China has alternatives, they would treat them the same was as Iran. So resource colony, trading with them because West refuse and so they must offer them lower price. But only when it is convenient for Xi.

  20. France and Germany themselves undermined they cooperation with Poland. Germans are famously hard to work, with lot of delays regard Leo2 modernization. They were undercut not only in Poland, but even famous German fanboys like Czechs, pick Swedish CV90 over Lynx (when Germans sell tanks to Orban?). French on other hand, not only have army more fit to Africa then Europe. They were also selling weapons to Russia, what basically kill any trust toward them in East Europe. France also kick out Poland from almost dead Eurotank project. What result with Poland pick K2PL platform instead (and yes. Polish K2 would also be largely made in Poland and fit to European needs and Poland also participate in the K3 project). UK was only trustworthy, high standard partner in Europe. But ground forces aren't they strong side.

  21.  @TheUltimateOpportunist  Because it is. Countries always could trade with what they want. The big question is if it is profitable? And from what I see such actions are done purely do to spite.
    7
  22. It make more sense then US-China (it is actually about profits from mutual trade) or EU-Russian conflict (Europe doesn't care about Russia). In fact there is high probability that if Russia invade and fail to dominate Ukraine ending with next Afganistan (and Ukrainians are furious due to treason). China could simply backstab them, what they even said they intend to do in the near future (they have claims to Vladivostok, what was sized from them in the past).

  23. They did plan and do use artillery. Problem is that they didn't expect so heavy resistance and huge part of they core assets was surrounded, making it hard to utilize if not destroyed (outside towns on East). People also miss it is about initial phase week ago. Now Putin in full Grozne mod and yet not much of progres.
    6
  24. 1) They did but they failed. They lack of precision and intelligence. When US observe movement of Russia and send warning to Ukrainians, who scrambled they forces. 2) Because they didn't have it and probably still don't have. Russia now mostly do short range incursions and lost few dozen planes anyway. How many actually work is another story. 3) Because they run out food, fuel and lack proper command. When they are surrounded by partisans, in convoys desperately pushing to do outdated orders. In short. Because Russia is Russia and those supposedly should be elite units.

  25.  @TheUltimateOpportunist  I know. China is still trading in Dolar. It just it try bamboozle those who couldn't make own currency stable and would buy crypto.
    6
  26. Also Transfer Ruble already was tested and failed. Transfer Yuan would do the same.

  27.  @Vsor  You clearly don't know much about NATO systems.
    5
  28.  @prometheusjackson8787  You mean Russians? Ukrainians have still numerical avenge. It is just that Russia is deluded that they are Soviet Union and Red Army. When lacking personel. Russia still have advantage in equipment though, but it deteriorating.

  29. I need point out that Poland falling in five days, was not actually classified data. It was part of famous simulation done around decade ago, on Military University level (what was actually semi-public). What tested how US could deal with three wars at the same time. Russian invasion on Poland (scenario assume that NATO dissolved), outbreak of Korean War and China attempting to size Taiwan. And yes, it sound too familiar. Simulation done by military students. Reveal importance of NATO and foreshadow need of especially straightening Asia-Pacific flank. But because US "loosing war" was sensationalist, result become quite public. Except that is not what actually did happen. US actually did win, but simulation end before that. As generally after first strike circumstances become random. The conclusion was that it would be long and dragging conflict. With US needing to ramp up its military complex. Lesson what was not learn, as instead choice was focus on prevention. Furthermore in case of Poland, in simulation Russia reach capital in five days. But as war in Ukraine show, that doesn't mean the fall. Furthermore simulation assume that Poles would try hold the ground, what in perspective was actually correct choice. But it was something unclear at the time. Anyway. Modernization of Polish military always was the plan. But after fall of Iron Curtain, Poland focus on rather dry reform of the professional oficer core. What in hindsight was again, a good decision. There was no point in supporting large military without proper spine. Creation of Territorial Defense (what again proved itself in Ukraine), was a good decision and now we would see plans of reserves reform (claims that Poland doesn't have those is based of misunderstanding, they absolutely are, but are not fit to NATO standard, as such were not accounted). Anyway, with proper ranks, time for rearmament come, what to be clear, despite popular meme. Was actually planed in the entire last decade. Only speed up by war in Ukraine. Reforms didn't happen earlier because Germany proved to be unreliable and US move its focus from Europe too much. But with South Korea and US support, things actually did move. Worth to mention that Poland also highly focus on licence production and not buying from shelf.

  30. Yes but it is even before reality hit them. Many Russians stil think that it is operation with 250 killed and minor world sanctions. But they can't hide that for too long.

  31.  @midnightvibes5485  I not see anyone defending Western countries. But for some reason many people defend people responsible of Anschluss of Crimea?
    5
  32. Russia is nowhere near Europe. Like other saying say "NATO didn't yet arrived". One of major problems of this war is exactly that European states are too smart to send they actual weapons.

  33. In short: France pay for ego and lack of respect to they partners. Makron should know that countries of Eastern block would straight not accept alliance with Russia. Dick measuring between France and USA has nothing to immense grudge "Ukraine's of the past years" hold toward oppressive Russia. Even Germans get flag for talking with Putin. It is why from quite some time politic block form inside EU with goal of opposing Russian influences (what meant Germany and France). It was completely ignored as much as many neutral states (like Nordics or Iberia). Who commonly didn't understand what West Europe is doing, but it didn't impact them directly. It is why Makron and Sholtz were in delusion of being in control of they echo chamber, when whole EU was going in opposite way tightening relations with far more reliable (even if still situational and distracted) USA. For reminder Polish Abrams-Patriot deal was a thing before the war (only HIMARS is new). Same Polish-Norwegian K2 deal (Krab was already variant of K9), as people didn't trust in German reliability anymore (for reminder Poland also buy Frigates and SAM's from UK). F-35 supremacy just become clear high profile testimony of France-German block being completely off rail (even if seven NATO members already were part of it, so rest fallowing should not be surprise). Sorry, but France is not a powerhouse, only strongest of equals. And they inability to agree with Germany, definitely would not have impact on they non existing co-operations with others (for reminder it was France who booted Poland from Eurotank for being Russorational). It is why even Germany start jumping the French ship.

  34. Why Xiaoping has basically identical doctrine to Europe? Lot of people forget that EU is a superpower.

  35.  @adr8  No shit. Russia is mostly pretending that they still have military and Ukraine didn't started yet.

  36.  @prim16  Yup. Americans pronounce is as Warsaw (what is kind of bad ass). But correctly is actually pronounced as "Warsshawa".

  37. Small correction, as I understand it is not obvious. There are actually three air-defense plans: -Vistula, what is strategical Patriot batteries. Protecting crucial infrastructure. -Narew, what is mid range CAMM based air defense, primarily intend for coastal operations. And... -Pilica+, what is SHORAD also utilizing combination of shorter CAMM, Piorun and AA cannons. Project was vastly expanded, after increasing risk of drone attacks become more prominent. Chance the plus.

  38. Correction. Those are not dragon teeth, but weirdo pyramids. Dragon teeth need to be constructed up to standard. With highly resistant material, dig in deep and raised on sufficient high. Plus in several rows (usually two or three), so even after ramming first line, you could not go further. Russian weirdo pyramids can be moved by the truck. And most likely serve only psychological purpose.

  39. @pm I mean. I can understand if they want replace French colonial currency with Chinese colonial currency.

  40.  @theeccentrictripper3863  I'm not against diversification. But there is obvious propaganda/wishful thinking about it.

  41.  @Kenneth_James  And companies move from China to Vietnam, or back to US. Chinese native industry is relatively primitive.

  42.  @evryatis9231  Yes. In Taiwan.

  43.  @nemisous83  Except they didn't. Ukraine was interested in trade with EU, but intended to continue military alliance with the Russia. What they made clear. NATO also refused them membership, what was known to happen from the beginning. And they did ask only after confirmed Russian military personel invaded Crimea and disputed regions. Russia even by coincidence publish result of Crimean referendum, showing that they failed it. As local population wanted true independence. Anyway whole Ukrainian-NATO thing was from beginning big lie of Kremlin (same as some imagined NATO forces what supposedly were there, but somehow still aren't). The question is only is Putin misjudged situation and due to paranoia basically backstabbed and pushed his "brother" country into NATO, and now struggle to pull back, due to whole propaganda. What may end with Ukraine actually abandoning disputed regions to enter NATO. Or he truly went Hitler? We would see.

  44.  @YiannissB.  Oh yes! China, Mongolia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and dozen separatist minorities approve Russia "not holding back" anymore. Lol!

  45.  @jaybeebee9288  And now because of that few other countries want join NATO. Good job!

  46.  @SQSNSQ  In normal country. Russia is not normal country. They base they whole defense plans on ancient urban legends. Russia is not a Tzar Russia or USSR anymore.
    4
  47.  @jyotirmayamohanty5723  It would not, because it literally CAN'T. NATO countries could do that on they own merit though, but not as part of NATO. What you saying is Russian propaganda. Only invading force on Ukraine is Russia. Though countries like Sweden and Finland, possibly other ones. Would reconsider they NATO applications. But sady Ukraine can't be NATO country, due to contested regions. At least for now. Though Ukraine could be Vietnam for Russia and China only wait on opportunity to reclaim own past territory from Putin.

  48.  @TheBann90  It is what they did said. So why you argue with that? True threat to Russia is the South and East. Russia agree on freedom of Belarus and Ukraine after end of the Cold War and then fail to hold influence, what should not be surprise when then act like drunk who beat his wife and act like victim at the same time. Fearing invasion of the defensive pact, what has no reason to invade. Hell, was demobilizing forces, what only lead to Russia again becoming self-destructively aggressive.

  49.  @Vsor  Not denying that. But Saudi also lack proper SHORAD. For reminder stuff what already do exist on West, just was unloved child until rise of the drones.

  50. There is one factor omitted in this video. India. India is forced to juggle they relations between Russia, China and Pakistan to keep local balance. Where both Pakistan and China are hostile toward them. But with weakening of Russia what was counterbalance to other two and deterioration of alliance between Pakistan and US. Relation between US and India started improving, against China. But that actually doesn't solidify alliance of China and Pakistan. On the contrary! Alliance between US and India would be problematic with China being unreliable, especially after they already dump Russia. It is why in bussines of Pakistan is actually to keep status quo.
