9:30 That "the German invasion was doomed once winter came" narrative is inaccurate. Just look at the dates. The Germans launched their invasion in June 1941 and the turning point on the eastern front, the Battle of Stalingrad, was in the winter of 42/43. That means that the Germans were on the offense for more 1,5 years, including the winter of 41/42. It wasn't the winter that lead to Germany's defeat, it was the over extension of their supply lines. It's 2500km from Berlin to Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) without decent roads, railroads or ways to bring in supplies by sea. Supply lines were constantly under attack by partisans and the frontline itself was more than 1000km wide.

It's interesting how everything fits within my knowledge except it's missing a very important event in 2014: The Ukrainian revolution, also known as the "Maiden Coup". It was due to that revolution (ousting the president) that Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk became "separatists" (and protected by Russia) as they wanted nothing to do with the forced "regime change", supported by the US. That alone changes the perspective of the rest of the video and the history when it comes to Russia's invasion. It is obvious that the creator of the video "chose" to not include the "reason" (as he did on other historical instances), as it would change the current perspective of the 2022 aggression and likely removed or demonetized by KZbin. > Never forget: Crimea was taken because of that coup (not the other way around) and they have now taken (helped) the Donbas regions as they begged, since 8 years of Minsk failed and Ukraine was taking advantage of the peace treaty to develop a super-army to destroy Russia (this was confirmed by Poroshenko himself - his words, not mine). In other words, in 2014, the Ukraine-countryball (along with an American countryball hiding behind a curtain) should have had split into 5 countryballs: Ukrainian flag (citizens), Crimean, DPR, LPR and... dun dun duuun... Ukrainian countryball with an SS symbol. This last one is the one that the World is choosing to ignore and therefore, the "disinformation" is born as this countryball was shooting all others, mainly LPR and DPR for the past 8 years. For those of you that 4 months after the invasion have still not understood this, I am sorry for you. Look at the OSCE website and read their reports. All of them. Just as I have done for the past 5 to 6 years... proving the country was in an internal war long before Russia invaded in 2022. I hope my message is clear and... you're welcome.

The dug in tanks i think are a refrence to the battle of kursk, where they barried t-34s in mounds with only the head showing, and even if they small target heads were shot the damage wouldnt be lethal, and as the main advantage of the german panzer IVs was there range, it was neutralized because they would have to get in close range to shoot the t-34s, and is why the german tank core got destroyed in the kursk salient. Anyway this was after stalingrad was encircled even though it was first in the video. (kursk 1943, stalingrad 1942.)

Eastern Europe, 1945: “You have freed us!” USSR: “Oh I wouldn’t say ‘freed’. More like ‘under new management’.”

[@krimzonstriker7534]

Drew's never heard of the Chechnya and the wars between them and Russia when they tried to break away? Grozny is their capital and all....

[@dyawr]

Yes, I'm surprised also 🤔🤷‍♀️

[@ULTIMATEGAMINGING]

It’s safe to say that the winter wasn’t on the Soviet’s side through some of the winter war

[@Vintag3r]

18:05 that ball is Chechyna, they had their own republic but the Russians invaded in 2000, they kinda does out 2008/2009

[@valentinechuprikov960]

Chechnya is Loyal to Moscow. Who are fighting right now?

[@gutboi777]

Bruh nobody is fighting in Chechenya

[@LancesArmorStriking]

Other way around, Chechnya invaded Dagestan (Russia) in August 1999 What are they telling you in the us?

[@LancesArmorStriking]

@icky Vicky No, sorry, at the time it was and still is legally a part of Russia. And even if you think it should not be part of Russia, the Dagestanis would never want to be part of Ichkeria. They fought the Chechens as soon as they entered, which took them by surprise- Shamil Basaev thought he would be greeted as a liberator. But nobody wanted his Sharia

[@LancesArmorStriking]

@icky Vicky Yes, it was. Western sources confirm this account as well. Are you going to try and tell me that Shamil Basaev and Ibn al Kattab _didn't_ declare jihad and invade Dagestan with 2.000 soldiers? And yes, that is why Russia re-absorbed Chechnya. If they had not, more Saudi militants would enter and keep attacking Russia. It needed to be stopped before it repeats over and over
