  1. Lol I met a woman from Russia who now lives here in the Miami area and was telling her about this channel. I told her about the Shaman song and she started laughing hysterically and cringed over it. Needless to say I think she's probably now one of the channel's biggest new American fans.

  2.  @mrnobody9611  Lucky for you, this will never happen. You could, of course, just move to Russia if you really wanted to be Russian.

  3. They're allowed in the U.S. too, at least as long as you don't reveal anything classified. There are a few channels from active U.S. military members, including an F-35 pilot whose channel I follow.

  4.  @RankinImagery  Alina is from Belarus, and lives in Prague. She's not Russian. And they are still friends.

  5. No lawsuits. McDonald's and the new Russian company entered into an agreement over all of that, and McD can buy everything back within 15 years if it wishes.

  6. Wow. As an American this is stunning. If they tried to pull this sort of thing again here, most of the country would simply refuse.

  8. I feel like the CIA would hire Roman after one interview haha.

  9. Ha, it's tough to find a hamburger under the equivalent of $20 USD in Iceland lol.

  10. He said it himself before walking across the bridge over the border: "Russia is a country that always manages to shoot itself in the foot."

  11. If there was any chance of that guy asking a real question, he wouldn't have been allowed in the room. In fairness, that happens in western countries too, but at least we can call out the politicians on YouTube after they lie to us lol.

  12.  @Bozebo  He should be alright as long as he has an EU/US bank account that the demand partner can pay into. I would assume that he has SOME document allowing him to be in the EU at the moment, or at least a residential lease that could be used as proof he is physically located in Portual rather than Russia. It will be a paperwork nightmare but (with some help) it should work out. I'm a dual citizen of the US and an EU country. Never knew how lucky I was!

  13. Yup, exactly! Even my mom (an American lady who's in her 60s) has gotten to love Roman and watch all his videos lol.

  14. All these guys are getting pretty well known... Simon, Harald, Johnny and Roman. And of course Alina.

  15. Interesting you mention this. I know someone from the US (from New Jersey) who just moved to Portugal after meeting another American (from Colorado) who moved to Portugal. It's a very nice place, but I wonder why people are moving there in particular.

  16. Hoping to visit Odessa from here in the US as soon as this war is over. I've been seeing it on the news and it looks like a beautiful city!

  17.  @tonydevos  No, he talked about it openly. He has videos on conscription in Russia. Pretty interesting ones, actually. I might go back and watch them again given what's going on now.

  18. Perhaps it's worth it to check on whatever Canadian law was deemed to be sufficiently analogous to the Russian law in the first place. Maybe this is a sign that it needs to be repealed, lest it be subject to abuse one day.

  19. In fairness, blasting the Russian national anthem would definitely get me awake for the school day...

  20.  @Alias_Anybody  I've driven in five of the seven continents. American drivers are far from the worst, or anywhere near the worst. Among developed/western countries, my experience leads me to believe Italian drivers tend to be the most unpredictable and aggressive. The USA is a massive country – regional driving culture between states varies as much as it does between countries in Europe. People from Alaska do not drive the same way as people from California or Florida.

  22.  @goodrobot1  The UN General Assembly is getting underway. Lavrov is already on U.S. soil. They had to fly here in an Il-96 because they can't use Boeing or Airbus planes lol.

  23. @seaworth3382 I noticed he was back in Russia in his latest video, doing the interviews himself personally. I thought that was a little strange.

  25. There's a huge Russian community in southern Brooklyn, New York, too, but Tblisi looks much nicer!

  26. In the west, they did the same thing when the AI was putting out "misinformation" about climate change. It's always going to be plagued with being slanted toward whether political direction is running the country's institutions at a given moment.

  27. Wow. This very literally looks like the Jersey Shore. (Palm trees are rare in New Jersey, though... a few tiny ones in the southern counties.)

  28. In the U.S., the military has to turn people away when the economy is bad. I remember back in 2008 it was almost impossible to get in a couple branches and/or ratings courses, etc.

  29.  @catarinamelchiorgomes8750  - No, the KGB was split into three agencies. The FSB is an internal security agency (equivalent to FBI), the SVR is a civilian foreign intelligence agency (equivalent to CIA) and the GRU is the military intelligence/direct action agency (equivalent to the DIA). The only country that continues to have an agency called the "KGB" is Belarus.

  30. At least no one can blame the US at the time since we were too busy at war with Britain lol.

  31. Roman - I own a network of digital news sites in the US and my company is part of a Google news partnership program. We have actual names and numbers of some folks at the company (not sure if it's specifically YouTube, though). I have not had to contact them in a couple of years but I will reach out to my contact and see if they can help. I was successful dealing with them once before on a monetization issue. Love the channel, and I've never felt so lucky to be a dual US-EU citizen. If I looked even remotely like you, I'd give you my EU passport to scan and upload lol.

  32. For Americans, it's like Miami and Vegas had a child, but the people who lived there are nicer lol.

  33. I feel the same way, being from the US. I was supposed to have gone on a college trip to Russia during break one year, but decided not to go even though my parents very much wanted me to do so. Now that I'm 10-years older and have traveled all over the world, I very much regret it, because I wonder if relations will ever improve in our lifetimes after the atrocities that were committed. That said, Kyiv, Lviv and Odesa all seem like beautiful cities to visit – though St. Petersburg has always intrigued me.

  35. Ha, their limo is also probably the most stereotypical American vehicle to ever exist.

  36. I thought the same thing. Pretty much every country I've visited has some version of this. In the U.S., there is no national law regulating hours you can sell alcohol, but states and cities can create their own laws. Where I live, you can buy beer, wine and hard seltzer 24 hours a day, but liquor can't be sold after 10 p.m. I have no idea why.

  37. It's legalized in the most of the U.S. at this point, and more states legalize every year. It usually passes with huge public support, like 70-30 in favor. I'm always stunned Europe is so conservative over THAT, of all things.

  38.  @BennieTarrMusic  It varies by state. It was very rare in the U.S. for anyone to actually be physically in prison for possession of marijuana (selling was a different charge) but yes, they did let people out of jail in some cases, and they cleared their records so they could legally answer "no" if asked if they had ever been convicted of a crime. The issue in the U.S. is that it's still federally illegal, despite many states having legalized it themselves. So you cannot conduct cannabis business in between states, and it is difficult to participate in the banking system. The federal government does not arrest people for possession of marijuana but they will still charge people for selling it. Our system works well in some situations, but very very poorly in this one. The laws need many changes still, even though I can legally buy and consume cannabis where I live with no penalties. I would, however, need a license from the state to sell it.

  39. The U.S. Democratic party has been canceling people for almost a decade now. Fortunately the people are tired of it.

  40. This, ironically, somewhat mirrors Russia's foreign policy. Russia is allied with right-wing governments in Belarus, Syria and Serbia. And left-wing/communist governments in Venezuela, Nicaragua, Vietnam, China. Russia has brought Nicolas Maduro and the Iranian Mullahs together in diplomatic and military relations – think how nuts that is!

  41. As an American, who works in the digital industry, I actually can say I've never heard of this guy before. So I don't think he's too popular here. I am an almost obsessed supporter of Ukraine and may travel there in the next year as part of my job (they asked for volunteers willing to go), but I do have to say that "woke" has a lot of aspects that are very negative, including crackdowns of freedom of speech and censorship of opposing opinions, alienating others and pressuring people to ascribe to certain beliefs. It's essentially a left-wing version of how Putin gripped Russia from the right. These pro-Putin Americans are obviously just crazy, attentioned-starved, or seriously ill-informed (or perhaps paid by the Russian government), but there are many Americans who lean to the right who realize this, and see in the "woke" movement a lot of the things Putin did in Russia over the last 20 years. It's not so simple as a good/bad argument.

  42. Andrew Tate was physically born in the US but is really from the UK, and now lives in Romania. If you think the average American even remotely thinks like this guy, I'll buy you a damn ticket to visit and let you meet some real people! Most American conservatives have no love for Putin, favor arming Ukraine to the teeth, and (in 2022) do favor legalized abortion. Conservative YouTubers do not represent normal people who simply think Biden is an idiot, taxes should be as low as possible and the government should not be regulating free speech.

  43.  @wisemankugelmemicus1701  - There's also the added bonus of the heat in Syria. Being deployed to the Donbass actually sounds a lot better. The other problem with being in the Russian military is having to deal with the Wagner guys who have their own agenda on the battlefield and, in theory, can undermine what the "official" army is doing. The Russian Navy, though, sounds like a pretty cool gig. A lot of their ships are insanely badass and you'll likely see a few interesting ports.

  47.  @RonPaulBot1234  Unfortunately, no. The international driver permit is essentially just a translation of your home country's license into a foreign language. It isn't an official document issued by a government, but rather a private organization that is authorized to do so (in the US, it's AAA, for example). I do not believe you need to take classes if you have a valid license in another country. My license from the US was accepted in an EU country when I lived there, but it very well may be easier to transfer an American license than a Russian one. The thing with the US, though, is that there is no "American driver's license." There are 50 different state licenses, each with their own regulations and small differences. The Florida license, which I have, meets the international standards, but I have heard there are a few US states whose licenses do not as of yet.

  48.  @Igorsov  Nah, we'll be fine in the US/EU. We don't let thugs steal our freedom without doing something about it.

  49.  @LS-Moto  If you have an audience measured in the millions – yes, the government does give a sh*t about you. Even the US and European governments would have you on their radar, much less Russia.

  50.  @Ira88881  I don't think he's "banned" from Ukraine, necessarily. He was not allowed in at the border because his passport indicated previous travel to Russia. This is common practice in some parts of the world – for example, many middle eastern countries will not allow someone in if they've previously visited Israel. The goal is to prevent foreign agents from entering. I assume Ukraine is being super selective given the fact they're at war. If there's a Russian stamp, even in your western passport, they're going to say no. My guess is that he's banned from Belarus because Alina is from there and has been very critical of the regime.

  51.  @Txx00xic  After so many war crimes and atrocities, there's no way Ukraine would allow them to keep Crimea at this point. Maybe in the beginning there could have been an agreement, but the window is closed. You can only murder, torture, assault women, children and the elderly to a certain extent before the people hate you enough to kick you out for good. There will probably, eventually, be a DMZ like the two Koreas in between the Rus-Ukr land border.

  52. Roman my man, great video and great topic! The one thing I wanted to let you know is that sometimes it's not as simple as the "far right" or "far left." I am an American and consider myself center-right. In general, I believe the Biden administration has done fairly well in foreign policy and handling the Ukraine war. I also very much disagree with how his political party has treated those who dissent in the United States itself. Most of us "conservatives" (as they say) know who Putin is, know what he represents, understand his nationalist and racist motivations and oppose him. But authoritarianism can come from either the right of the left, and in the United States, it has been more frequently (admittedly, in small ways) coming from the left. Folks like myself support liberal democracy, a democratic-led world order, and Ukrainian sovereignty BECAUSE we do not want anyone from EITHER side to ever chip away at the rights we have here. Unfortunately, despite his good foreign policy, domestic policy has been a little scary for those who disagree with the majority party and the mainstream media. There are two sides – actually, probably 10 sides – to every story, and having been a huge fan of you and your channel for a few years, I don't want to see you get the wrong impression about me or people like me – just like I have never had a closed mind toward anyone in the five continents I've visited over the course of my life.
