There is something about a history of colonization that lends a perspective most of the West lacks. Siberians receive no support when they seek self determination why? the "liberals" in the west just don't get it.

You can also ask this Irish leftist: my grandparents fought off an imperialistic bully to our east. US leftists have no concern for those who have experienced colonization because they can't identify with it. Their stance sadly is that of one empire to another.....

I'm amazed and glad to see the acceptence of the fact that decolonization isn't strictly democratization, like with many states like (for example) vietnam, (from the bits I've heard) western countries have tried to "help" it by controlling it to become a baby version of their own countries, we need to accept the fact that the best option is self determination even if it looks like people "shouldn't" want what they want. That is why we shouldn't root for a full and immediate break up, especially before we prepare for the inevitable conflict that break up would cause.

One of these years you will explain to me why such an amazing people, Russians who can do culture, philosophy, all the humanities along with all the sciences why can't they do democratic government? Another strong man (a tsar without the aesthetics) is the best they could do after the Soviet experiment?

10:14 AFAICT, collusion happened within limits of what other countries do. Most of it is shady but the Trump administration was less literate w.r.t. which parts of it were technically legal. Edit: If anything, the appearance of extensive direct collusion might as well have been the goal. Edit 2: Yes, you talk about freakout later :)

4:37 The most common example of this, I think, comes up from Holocaust denial where: 1) It didn't happen, 2) It wasn't that bad, 3) They deserved it, are pedalled simultaneously by the same people.

I could definitely foresee a few small nations seceding from russia, but it wouldn’t be a dissolution of the entire nation. It would be at most a few small nations like Chechnya or Dagestan on the fringes of the country that still have their own strong national identities and don’t see themselves as Russian.

Militarily, I think it is a shift from line warfare to manouver warfare. Kursk is simply the place without a line of minefields and trenches. The Russian army is slow and sluggish when responding to manouver.

I thought the Putin regime currently differentiate between "domestic" and "external" propaganda. It wants to apply one message to its home audience and others to outsiders. The home audience propaganda felt ideologically empty. It lacked the utopian vision of Soviet propaganda. Instead it extols the nationalism more familiar to me, but like a thin varnish of orthodox conservative values and russian-centered history.

There is more useful take on the topic by Michael Epstein, a Russian Jewish linguist working in the US since about 1990 (good for him). (As far as I see) he gives a crisp rational cut, instead of a "mystical" internal "porridge-gruel-slush-jumble", based on deficient loose metaphorical "terms", characteristic 4 Russian "thought". (I'm trying 2 dilute "philosophy" 2 the Russian level, XIX-XX-XXI centuries, which are unmovably the same).

I don't see it happening. For as bad as things are for Russia in Ukraine, it doesn't seem like it's bad enough for people to be upset enough to cause the collapse of the country. If it collapsed, the smaller countries that resulted from it would be very vulnerable to influence from neighbors. Who would guarantee the sovereignty of those nations? China would definitely be interested in taking back the territory it lost from Russia and would not want to see any inevitable influence the Americans might have around the Bering Sea. Any Siberian states might face territorial disputes from the Central Asian Islamic countries. Then there's the can of worms that would open from nuclear weapons possibly being sold on the black market or stolen.

Interesting opinion, yet you glow in the dark. Consider the following: Yes, the nreakup of the russian state will be bad... but how bad will it be if it doesnt break up? Defeating nazism and late stage imperialism cost 40 million something kives and the first use of atomic weapons in anger... but how bad would it have been if we didnt? Also, resorting to whataboutism just shows youre not serious about the topic youre talking about, instead youre trying to find excuses to support your argument.

Hey Vlad. I have a Russian friend who is an apologist for the war in Ukraine and who argues with the threat of Russian citizens in Ukraine in 2014. Especially the fire in Odessa seemed to be a breaking point for many peopIe. On the one hand I would like to argue, that 2014 tensions between Ukraine and Russians cooked over and that in such a climate that was also escalated by Putin crimes like those happen. Moreover, people in Odessa were theraten by pro russian (if not russian) armed and trained forces on the streets of Odessa during those days so unarmed citizens of Odessa seeked every way they could to fight back. Lastly I would like to argue that the pro Ukranian actors but pro Russian actors as well inabled the closer investigation of the burning. I wonder if this is the best way to dismantel the fascination with Odessa. I don't want to loose an incredible and awesome human being to Putins barbarism and lies. I have the feeling (relatively new to your channel) you are more focused on wider topics, but could you make a video that explains how to argue with Russians that against concrete propaganda examples from 2014 to 2022 to dismantel any reason behind Putins senseless war?
