[@smorcrux426]

I love your videos because they go very thoroughly over well known events, and therefore uncover tons of details I've never heard about, for instance I have never heard of the 1948 Czech coup, Nato sending aid to Pakistan and Darfur, article 5 being triggered after 911, and Greece leaving the command structure of NATO.

[@DL-kc8fc]

You must have heard of it - the February 1948 - communist coup that established totalitarianism. The Czechia (Czechoslovakia) has ceased to be a Western country. However, what is new about the video is that Russia has called on Ukraine to be neutral (2022). That would be against the interests of Russia, which did not say that, at most in its propaganda somewhere in Moscow :)

[@smorcrux426]

@@DL-kc8fc I haven't heard of the czechoslovak coup beforehand. Of course I knew they were western and democratic before ww2 and were communist afterwards, but I always just assumed they had communist governments installed by the soviet union, such as in Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, etc

[@DL-kc8fc]

@@smorcrux426 Yes, Czechoslovakia was democratic before the war, and in a short episode after it. It can be said that the last democratic elections were used by the Communists as well as Hitler in pre-war Germany. By 1989, the elections were no longer free (I experienced that). The communist coup averted the Russian occupation, which did not occur until 1968. The Soviet Union feared that a democratic establishment was forming in Czechoslovakia. Under the pretext of cleansing from Western collaborators and the resistance, there was an invasion led by a Russian general, whose statue was recently removed from Prague. That is why the map of Czechoslovakia in the post-war years is in a different color - we could not be part of the Soviet military pact that attacked us. Austria was lucky in the disaster - the Soviet Union commanded it to disarm and neutrality. Austrian citizens liked the neutrality so much that they incorporated it into the constitution in the 1990s.

[@jeffbenton6183]

@@abuzarAQ3 I'll add 3 things to what Cochet said: 1) Finland's military equipment and command structure is much more "interoperable" with NATO forces than Ukraine (even during the Cold War, Finland relied on military equipment that was either Western, or designed to be sold to Western countries, such as certain Swedish weaponry. On the other hand, Ukraine was part of the USSR and used exclusively Soviet equipment. It takes time to transition to Western arms, or modify existing ones to work well with Western equipment - not to mention modernizing everything so it doesn't become obsolete) 2) A big part of the reason why some NATO nations didn't want Ukraine to join was because they were trying to prevent a war with Russia. Now that Ukraine (but not NATO) *has* an all-out war with Russia, which they may actually win (with NATO support - even without direct NATO intervention) the situation has changed. When this war is over, NATO nations will likely try to fast-track the entry of whatever's left of the Ukraine into the Alliance. 3) Finland hasn't been seriously considering membership quite as long as Ukraine, and has only jumped on board *after* this war started. If they had tried earlier, they likely would've been rejected for the same reasons that the Ukraine has been stalled. Finland and Sweden were rather committed to neutrality until recently. It was only in 2014 that a bare majority (or plurality - I forgot which) supported NATO membership - and that was only according to polls, not an actual vote. Because of the war, membership is much more popular in Sweden and Finland. There probably was never a time when Finland would be allowed to join and the Ukraine would not be allowed to join. It's sort of an "apples-to-oranges" comparison.

[@jeffbenton6183]

@@abuzarAQ3 I should add one more thing about why Ukrainian membership in NATO would be more offensive to Russia than Finish membership: their shared history. Finland has not been a part of Russia since the end of World War I, whereas the Ukraine has only been fully independent for 30 years. That didn't stop the Baltic states from joining NATO, which are also former members of the USSR, but the Ukrainians are also much more ethnically similar to the Russians than the Finns, Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians (especially the Finns). The Muscovite Rus actually branched off *from* the Kievan Rus during the Middle Ages, there's a sense in Russia that they're basically One People (there's even an English word that academics use to refer collectively to the Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians - "Ruthenian") EDIT: I should add the Peter the Great was called "Emperor of *All* the Russias," by which was meant the Ruthenian countries. My understanding is that each of the czars who succeeded him, up until the Revolution inherited that title.

People can search for days and year's years back how many attacks Ukrainian military azov have had on Russian speak regions in Ukraine on OSCE site. Worst are that US training Ukrainian military azov for years, desember 2021 US helping Ukrainian military azov bomb Russian speak regions with drones. Was it training Ukrainian military azov how to use drones. Killing Russian speak Ukrainian citizens ?? Ukrainian military azov killing thousands Russian speak citizens in Ukraine since 2014. Truth are scary and insane, most scary part about this tragic scenario. Are how western governments control western mainstream media to hide genocide in Ukraine going on since 2014. Are registered proof why Russia went in, to stop genocide in Ukraine. OSCE site. www.osce.org/special-monitoring-mission-to-ukraine/512842. Do some research on your own, western media hides the truth. Truth are scary, devil's behind this tragic situation.....

[@leevikaunismaa9652]

Why would have they allowed USSR to join tho? Main threat of Europe has always been Russia/USSR, and NATO was formed because USSR was a asshat country like Russia still is. If US tried to join Warsaw Pact, I don't think USSR would have allowed that.

the iron curtain did not include yugoslawia. The later was actually slightly hostile to the soviet block and had pretty open borders towards western countries and solid economic ties. Albania also also wasn't part of the soviet block though they definitly had their own little iron curtain. They had a more North Korean system and have been extremely isolated from all their neighbours. Just to give you an example, after the fall of comunism in albania I met several albanians asking me if humans really landed on the moon or where utterly baffeled when they saw a television set. Not to mention the old woman I once drove to an hospital which was so scared from driving in a car that we had to halt and help her calm down.

Ukraine and Georgia can not join NATO because they have unresolved territorial disputes. Same goes with Moldova

[@SorbeX555]

@@Sceptonic Russian-occupied territories to be specific

[@jeffbenton6183]

@@Sceptonic Ukraine did not have unresolved territorial disputes in 2008, that wasn't until 2014. I think that's what the OP meant. What I've heard on the matter is this: Part of NATO membership is integration. Due to how much Soviet-era equipment the Ukraine has, it was estimated that - even as late as 2020 - it would take years for Ukraine to achieve sufficient interoperability with NATO (they had been receiving significant imports and gifts of NATO weaponry ever since 2014, but it still wasn't enough; I also don't mean to say that no Soviet equipment is sufficiently interoperable, but it does need to be modified and modernized. EDIT: I should add that Finland and Sweeden are much closer to being integrated with NATO, so their membership path should be relatively quick.

[@jeffbenton6183]

It also would've been interesting to talk about what took Macedonia so long to join - there's was a dispute with Greece that was holding it up. (As for Montenegro - no NATO member objected to its entry, but they traditionally have had close ties with the Serbs, even splitting with Yugoslavia peacefully, so they perhaps felt that they didn't need to join NATO).
