We can understand why china , india and Brazil giving support to Russia in this aggression, because India,Brazil is dependent on Russian arms exports and China is Russian future life support for energy consumers market, but UAE AND middle east are also being ally with Russia since recent years after Climate change awareness events by USA and EUROPE... USA cancelled the f35 deal, because UAE allowed China to build PLA Chinese army base in UAE, and USA didn't want to share the technology to opponent Chinese army...on top it has nothing to do biden, it's simply to do with western G7, EU and NATO countries future foreign policy is changed after cop 26 event, where they decided to change energy technologies from fossil fuels, gas and coal to more green carbon free renewable energy technologies, and that's why America needs Africa for rare earth material, a d other raw materials of thorium copper, lithium for ev and industrial batteries for solar energy grid...that's why Russia and middle east countries are trying to get together to protect their current energy market with a united front of foreign policy and military intervention in EU, because soon or later EU will stop purchasing Russian gas anyway...That's why Russia is trying to create instability in western economies to delay the shift changing on greener carbon free technology, because war and instability in economy will delay investment in new technology, on top Russia and middle east will enjoy the higher price of oil for the time being on oil either in western market or in black market...

Eating shitty food, smoking, being mean to others, lie, etc. Does that make us stupid? No, it just makes us human. Besides, we evolved to live in groups of 50-100 people, now we're living in a global society of 8 billion, and people expect us to just manage that without fucking up all the time? I think it's a straight out miracle it works at all! We have created a global society with all kinds of amazing art, technology, we have gone to space, we have done all sorts of really amazing things, while being genetically more or less the same as we were 10 000 years ago when we were living in fucking caves.

Only the US can exert economic pressure and that's because of the dollar reserve currency. Neither France or the UK can individually exert effective sanctions on any nation. Without the dollar, the US is actually of marginal influence on most countries economies. The US is not the largest trading partner, and most countries only have trade contact with the US on IT products especially software. America supplies nothing else that other countries can't supply. So without the dollar reserve currency the US has average economic influence.

Russia has power, not strength. Strength is constructive, it's being able to build something that will last. Power is corrosive, it's the ability to destroy, and when it's not directed outwards, it's influence turns inwards towards itself. Russia has allowed itself, undeservedly, to tolerate this influence for the sake of the perceived security it affords the State. But the true brittleness of the Russian State is now becoming evident, and they are left with two choices. To forsake ambitions of power, and the policies that have turned it into a nuclear Glass Cannon; or double down on it's decisions and drag the rest the world into it's own quagmire.

@@ArawnOfAnnwn It's a way of appraising the utility of something. I can't tell if you're genuinely trying to unpack what I've said or not, but assuming that you are, let me try again. A man with a hammer has what may be called strength. Yes, a hammer could be used to destroy, or kill, but it's design is also able to be useful in the construction of a home. Strength can be thought of as power that is not limited in it's applicable utility to being solely detrimental. A man with a vial of novichok nerve agent can be said to have power, the ability to harm or kill one or many people. But that is it. His tool has it's function, but it's function does not have the utility of a hammer. You cannot build something with a nerve agent, it's value is in it's potential to damage and destroy. And while both of these implements may be used to kill, only one has the potential to be something more than just a weapon. This framing of strength to power can be applied to many things. I encourage you to consider how else this may be applied.

Bro, certain countries in Africa are teaching Russian as a second language to the local people. I've met africans that only Speak French and Russian.

Basically he has stopped American wars in all those regions so I don’t mind it or have any issues

[@glassman1533]

Pakistan will NEVER allow a pipeline to India to pass through its territory.

[@Agorax_gg]

Just like Dike Cheney and black water lol

[@koushikkarmakar7992]

Russia is far advanced in missile technology. It has hypersonic missile which is a nightmare for USA.

[@doujinflip]

If it can afford them, along with the network of long-range sensors needed to keep the missile on target. Hypersonics are _expensive_. Meanwhile the US just came out with a bolt-on guidance kit that can handle moving targets (ships, tanks, etc) for its hundreds of thousands of dirt cheap gravity bombs... Russia apparently exhausted its stockpile of precision guided munitions already.

Hi guys, if you would reduce the number and change the style of annoying musical cut-ins, you would greatly gain the credibility.

[@HackerFlavio]

China has taken Russia as No.1

[@eduardtarniceriu102]

In what ?

[@HackerFlavio]

@@eduardtarniceriu102 military, economy, geopolitical power, just about every field that classifies a country as a world super power.

Sharks door are always open for mother Russia

[@gowthamanjaiganesh3210]

If russia had an economic power and had a strong economy like China just imagine how Russia would have increased its influence in Europe and split Europe into two. If russia needs allies like China and India they need to have a strong economy and give an alternative to USA based on economy.

Russia dominates energy oligarchs

Nice new graphic intro

[@davorinrusevljan6440]

They also gain influence by (indirectly) financing various NGO-s, and good old fashioned bribe. Both can be had for quite cheap in developing countries

[@vasilzahariev5741]

Russia is a paper tiger.

[@destroyerarmor2846]

Paper Tiger with nukes

[@Argozification]

That's why NATO refuses to engage in frontal war and instead prefers to set up missiles in every country possible. You're delusional.

[@malumbosiwale3832]

I thought "Third World" was offensive and "developing" nations was more appropriate....

[@Andrew-ob5ij]

Russia is a paper tiger

[@Argozification]

If that were true then it wouldn't have dismantled Ukraine's air force in 1 hour and 22 minutes.

[@samanparsi6187]

And in all of this , look at Iran position in map which can export oil and gas to china and India as well as EU. But Russia don't want Iran in the market just to keep share as high as possible before world fasses out oil. Simple politics

You could make this story about CIA, everything is identical

Were S-400's used? how did it fare against Mig29's which are russian aircraft used by ukraine.

[@xxxxandercage7455]

Good

[@ianthesiow3013]

Please follow US footsteps and call it "Liberation" instead of "Invasion". That was what US call it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and the list goes on... Why the double standard?

Ya no shit America dropped the fucking ball although with Russia it LITTERALLY is a land grab. BUY CRAZY FUCKING IDEA HERE Just because we didn't care when someone else does it doesn't mean we shouldn't care when Russia LITTERALLY INVADES A LIBERAL WESTERN DEMOCRACY. Ya you'll find the majority of people don't give a fuck about Yemen or Afghanistan lmao.

[@Argozification]

@@PressXtoDoubt ukraine isn't a liberal democracy lol. They are the most corrupt country in Europe after Russia according to international surveys. Zelensky banned 3 opposition tv stations. Zelensky has imprisoned opposition leader. Zelensky criticized Poroshenko for tax evasion and hiding his wealth in offshores accounts. Yet according to the Pandora Papers Zelensky also hides his wealth in offshore accounts. Zelensky has also actively engaged in nepotism.

[@PressXtoDoubt]

@@Argozification alot of that is not justifiable but par for the course with alot of countries as well. Although I'm gonna need sources on the imprisonment of an opposition leader because his opposition is on news networks uniting against the Russia Invasion, and even if there is corruption I would rather live in a free Ukraine where you can openly criticise the Ukrainian government rather than live in Russia where if you criticize the government and get thrown in a fucking gulag as seen by the protests.

[@nomanor7987]

What’s with the Nigerians trying to leave Ukraine but being denied entry into Poland? Because they’re Black?

[@ben5056]

It’s called racism, pretty prevalent in that area of the world sadly

[@Andrew-ob5ij]

We know alot of poles are incredibly racist, is that somehow meant to be news?

[@gsheverything_2716]

You answer your OWN damn question

[@TA-un8mv]

They get from time to time tourists from lukaschenka, they are suspicious and ukrainians do not loook black, easy to understand? If you have for example a belarusian stamp in your passport you can expect extra questions.... By the way, have you every entered US border? They ask a lot of questions there and they are very rude to forigners, even it your face is white like a snowball. Nigerians are on PL site now, so focus on positive, houpfully they get to they homes or find a safe place.

[@summerjacobson4577]

Because they're Nigerian... not Ukrainian. They have a home to return to

Do you go out of your way to pronounce any words foreign to the English language incorrectly? Mind you, the only sound in Russian which English doesn’t also have is the tapped R.

[@muthanaalheetimi9708]

Lol and it makes them sound so misinformed. Like they just read some article for the first time, and made a video. If you follow world politics, AT ALL, then you know it’s pronounced Vagner. Homie pronounces it Wagner. Doesn’t really make you look like you know what you’re talking about.

[@randomrandom7208]

With all due respect, I like your channel and subscribeed(bell included) but the way you butcher this slavic names is unimaginable. Will watch you anyway but try to find someone who will pronounce them for your hosts.
