  1. Most countries have condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine (but did they the US invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya?), but countries representing 57% of the world's population have not. And most countries have not imposed sanctions on Russia. Only the West, representing less than 16% of the world's population, has imposed sanctions on Russia over Ukraine. Some countries, notably China, have blamed the US for the war in Ukraine. Many countries, including India, Pakistan, and others, have increased their cooperation with Russia following Western sanctions, to scoop-up the business Western countries have abandoned. As one Israel article said, the West is entertaining delusion within its own information bubble about Ukraine. The world is not with the West on Ukraine. And it is the West, not Russia, which has been isolated from the rest of the international community on Ukraine.

  2. Your given backstory of the events in Ukraine which led to the current situation is filled with incorrect information. Based on your offered backstory, it sounds like you're somebody who just reads NYT and the like, and takes what they say as gospel. It's disappointing as I hoped you would be more thorough and objective. Now I have to assume there's as much one-sidedness and incorrect claims in other videos that you make. By the way, most countries have condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine (but did they the US invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya?), but countries representing 57% of the world's population have not. And most countries have not imposed sanctions on Russia. Only the West, representing less than 16% of the world's population, has imposed sanctions on Russia over Ukraine.

And it is the West, not Russia, which has been isolated from the rest of the international community on Ukraine. Also BTW, most of the world doesn't regard Crimea as occupied by Russia. Only 62 govt, representing less than 17% of world population, still support the view that it is. nd Ukraine has just submit to Russia's key demands, which are that Ukraine not join NATO (an anti-Russia military alliance with a track-record of illegal invasions and destructions of countries based on lies), and that Ukraine never pursue WMDs. Reportedly, it was Ukraine's President's threat to pursue nuclear weapons that made Putin finally decide to invade Ukraine.

  3. There was no invasion of Crimea by Russia. Since the dissolution of the USSR, Russia has kept a large military base in Crimea, and was allowed, by treaty with Kiev, up to 25,000 troops in Crimea. At the time of the US-backed coup in Kiev in 2014, there were 15,000 Russian troops already stationed in Crimea. When the coup in Kiev was happening, Ukraine's then-President, Yanukovych, formally requested and authorised Russia to use its troops to secure Crimea. Russia did that. It was not an invasion. The post-coup Ukrainian govt's Chief Prosecutor confirmed that Yanukovych authorised Russia to take control over Crimea. And the people and government of Crimea took that opportunity to hold the sovereignty referendum which they'd tried repeatedly for the previous 2.5 decades to hold, but which Kiev had repeatedly, illegitimately, obstructed from being held. Additionally, and this holds more weight that your 'Russia isn't the inheritor of the USSR's UNSC seat' theory, since Ukraine's constitution was nullified in February by the illegitimate process to remove Yanukovych and form a new government that wasn't backed by Ukraine's constitution, it can be argued (as Crimea's government did) that it was no longer a part of a Ukraine that no longer existed at the time of its referendum. Ukraine's constitution is clear on what process needs to be followed to remove a sitting president. And basically none of the steps of the process were followed, the the impeachment vote failed to receive the constitutionally-mandated 3/4ths support from the legislature. BTW, if Russia isn't the inheritor of the USSR's seat, then Ukraine has even less of a claim to keep its UNGA seat following the 2014 US-backed coup in Kiev. You're as partisan (as opposed to fact-based) on these matters as as any self-identifying stringent Republican or Democrat in the US. Facts, reason, and logic are being surrogated with personal emotion-gratifying preference in your telling of things.

  4. He has cared about and abided by international law a whole lot more than the US, UK, and NATO have.

  5. Your commentary about how Russia gained the USSR's old UNSC seat is absurd and amateur hour. Russia took on all the debts and obligations of the USSR in order to be recognised as the official success state of the USSR. The other former Soviet states were unanimous in supporting Russia's request to be regarded as the successor state to the USSR. The whole UNSC accepted that view. It's disappointing that your biases come through so clearly in certain topics. You're entertaining what is baseless and just about a conspiracy theory or urban myth, and is befitting of a hack, because the concept seems pleasing to you. And with your egregiously remiss and flawed summation of the backstory to Russia's intervention in Ukraine, this should be embarrassing. This is amateur hour, here.

  6. The backstory he gave for what's caused the Russian invasion of Ukraine is filled with incorrect claims of they type you'd hear about the Democrats if you entered a Trump chat-room, or that you'd hear about the Republicans if talking to someone who only reads NYT, watches CNN and NBC. Russia is not seeking to restore Ukraine as part of a union with Russia, BTW. And Ukraine has just submit to Russia's key demands, which are that Ukraine not join NATO (an anti-Russia military alliance with a track-record of illegal invasions and destructions of countries based on lies), and that Ukraine never pursue WMDs. Reportedly, it was Ukraine's President's threat to pursue nuclear weapons that made Putin finally decide to invade Ukraine.

  7. Your given backstory of the events in Ukraine which led to the current situation is filled with incorrect information. Based on your offered backstory, it sounds like you're somebody who just reads NYT and the like, and takes what they say as gospel. It's disappointing as I hoped you would be more thorough and objective. Now I have to assume there's as much one-sidedness and incorrect claims in other videos that you make. BTW, Ukraine has now submit to Russia's primary demand and reason for invading Ukraine, which was that Ukraine never join NATO, a nuclear-armed, anti-Russia military alliance which has invaded and destroyed numerous countries in wars of aggression based on lies. Ukraine has also pledged to not pursue nuclear weapons, and it was Zelensky's threat to pursue nukes which reportedly made Putin decide to invade Ukraine.
