@@Dzimko-rc2io What ALOT of people magically forget, is that NATO is the sole reason Putin has gone down this path. Putin wanted Russia to join NATO because Russia saw China as a threat to its existence. US told the Russian Federation to sod off. Germany and France lied to Putin's face with the Minsk Agreement and admitted they were only delaying time until they could get Ukraine into NATO. United States are the ones that caused the Ukraine Revolution that knocked out the Russian leaning government in order to get US companies in the country on discount. When the West has done nothing but spit in the face and deceive Russia, yes he's going to double down. The entire existence of his country is at stake. As once quoted "...The communists have been defeated, but the ideas of freedom now are on trial. If they don't work, there will be a reversion... to a new despotism." The west didn't want freedom to succeed in Russia, they wanted an excuse to drag the fear of war on while not threatening their investments in China.

Then they diverted all their focus into the military during the Cold War, then had a collapse and turned into Russia. Now they just started another war and are running out of force.

There are points that Sarah Paine does not make that should also be considered: 1) EU is viewed as a threat to Russia. Mostly because Russia has a LOT of natural resources that the EU needs. 2) EU and US have done things that Russia views as threatening. Example is the EuroMaidan Revolution in Ukraine in 2013 (ended in early 2014). Ukraine held elections prior to that and elected a leader that was more Russian leaning than EU in terms of economic deals and treaties. EU and afterwards, the US used assets to encourage dissent which broiled into a Color Revolution in Ukraine, ousting the elected president and a pro-EU president was installed. To Russia, with Ukraine literally being on their border, was a much more aggressive move by the West than previously seen. In response Russia moved to retake Crimea (was historically Russian), which is a strategic military and economic territory. The Donbas region was effectively used as a buffer zone. 3) Russia halted moves to invade Ukraine in 2014-2015 when it became clear that Ukraine was not going to be put into NATO. They maintained that position until late 2021 when the US started heavily pushing for Ukraine to join NATO. In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine after asking for Ukraine to agree to maintain neutrality and not join NATO, which Ukraine rejected. 4) The reason why Russia is threatened by NATO and new nations joining NATO is because NATO is a military treaty targeting Russia. Russia's population is dropping like most Western nations but Russia has many more times the land mass to defend. Adding NATO nations on the border with Russia increases the amount of territory Russia needs to defend. Russia's military is already thinned out as it is with the current defensive installations it has set up, so adding more will make sections of Russia's border indefensible. 5) The only solution is for Russia to force Ukraine to surrender and make sure they do not join NATO. Ukraine is the most optimal buffer nation for Russia against the EU. NOTE: I am not advocating for Russia. I think they should be held accountable for every crime they commit but I also think that people need to understand the Russian government's position in the matter. If EU and US leadership had considered Russia's position (or cared about it), alternate methods could have been used to avoid this conflict. The real victims are the people dying because governments either can't figure their shit out or because the governments don't care about the suffering and loss of life that such a conflict would cause. Greed, paranoia, egotism, etc are the root cause in this conflict. And that is on both the West and Russia.

The Russian economy is so "depressed" that the IMF has had to revise its growth estimates upwards for 2024 to over 3%. The sanctions were just a boomerang for Europe.

Certainly, some things need to be cut for time, but a cut every few words makes the video feel a bit frantic and jumpy. All that said, I understand there's a method to managing shorts and that not every small aspect of an original segment can be preserved in such a short form.
