Glad you enjoyed it

I wonder what Ukraine's strategic and natural resources played in the calculus of its importance to both sides?

JM is correct doesn't mean the Russia didn't also want more influence over Ukraine, the JM critics miss the point every time, with moralistic analysys. Ever wonder why the NED deleted its ukraine grantees from its website for this period? People are to propagandised to follow where the truth leads. Ukraine was a trap USA sert for Russia, war was totally avoidable but that just wasn't the goal. Nice work on the video subbed.

But zelensky and putin nearly had an agreement (aspirations ukrainians) which was overridden by Biden. Now that's either wrong or the aspirations criticism fails isn't it?

[@agun214]

can you provide a reference for this Biden override?

[@sheephillkennel2004]

a 'counterargument' that ignores the initial argument !

[@kevinlaing8712]

Did the majority of Ukranians want to join Nato before the Russian invasion? If so, why shouldn't their aspirations be respected? Was that just US and Western propaganda? And where does Russia's invasion to defend the ethnic Russians in the Donbas region come into this argument?

[@agun214]

"Russia had NO interest in conquering Ukraine until 2014" i doubt that, but how was this related to NATO expansion? i dont remember that being the justification A more truthful statement: Finland and Sweden had no interest in joining NATO until February 2022 ...did Putin not foresee his aggression backfiring?

[@RINODWIKIY]

You Clown, Finland Joins Nato in 2021. They are stay Neutral all the time but suddenly in 2021 they Join Nato, The NATO Marching East towards Russia Border. That makes Russia's Security is Threatened. That's Why Putin said that If they expand More, they will Going on War. And they did, NATO trying Gives Ukraine An NATO Member.
