​​@@grapefruitsimmons explain please your statement

[@hivemind8817]

They don't cover modern topics because the info on those conflicts would be wrong. 10 years from now portions of this video will (most likely) be inaccurate. This is mostly due to the fact that most of the information about the Ukraine war is top secret and is unknown to the general public not to mention the only information we do get is from the government and is also often altered from the truth.

We live in a time where Armchair Historian made a video about a war that started only a years ago. What a time tobe alive ❤

[@TheArmchairHistorian]

We wanted to make sure we covered the war with a delay (only talking about 2022 events) so that we can give at least some time for the information to settle. We also made sure not to mention any specific figures for troop numbers/casualties, as those numbers vary widely and are a huge point of contention. Still, we find it useful to help inform people about what is going on in the real world, and being as objective as we can.

Interesting enough Ukraine gave up its nukes in the 90’s. Only on the condition that both the east and west would guarantee not to interfere with their borders.

[@marcusaurelius5837]

Exactly. It’s the ruscists that are breaking the agreements.

[@DRAGON-of6zg]

Sadly this is so. And Ukraine was attacked by a country that promised to defend Ukraine. And the US did not help Ukraine in 2014. Pity the Ukrainians who exchanged their nuclear shield for the useless promises of politicians and bureaucrats. Moreover, some of our politicians think that we should stop helping Ukraine, hearing their words makes me furious. Instead of increasing the scarce aid to Ukraine, some hypocrites and egoists demand it be stopped and Ukraine be left at the mercy of a dictator. The world is beginning to lose confidence in the pacts and agreements because they are not respected.

[@Jnivella]

So? Ukraine wouldn’t have been able to do anything with them. To begin with, they weren’t Ukraine’s nukes, they were the USSR’s, and in any case they would have never been able to use them bc the codes were always in Moscow. Fun Fact, Russia would have detonated those nukes if they were still in Ukraine. They could have just said that Ukrainians were messing with the missiles and they blew up accidentally.

[@eliasziad7864]

Sorry, but if the war ends and both sides are at peace, this would not be taught in any history class except for in Russia or Ukraine. This is simply because Ukraine is a poor country, nothing to offer the world. So it's fall would not do much to Europe or the world. That is unless the Ukraine war is the start of a chain reaction. Other than that, it would most likely be forgotten in the future. The only thing interesting in this war would be to see how military operations would be carried out in modern warfare.

Maybe for europeans an americans its both sad and amazing but for ukrainians its tragedy becouse every day russian rockets kill innocent people and every day people lose their relatives. Аnd recently the russians created an environmental disaster in the Kherson region by blowing up the Kakhovskaya HPP. Thousands of people lost their homes, and elderly people who could not swim drowned, and the russians do not give permission for evacuation. There is even a video of a Ukrainian drone giving a bottle of water to people who are forced to sit on roofs due to a flood. And the most disgusting thing in my opinion in this situation is that the UN celebrated the day of the Russian language on the day when it all happened. Why then was the UN created if not to protect the environment and human rights? It is very unfortunate that I (and many other children and teenagers) lose childhood in constant fear while the russians rejoice at every death of Ukrainians

It's like Armchair Historian's other war videos from old times long ago most people forgotten, except this one happen just last year and still ongoing. Crazy times we live in to witness all this.

[@DC-it2ng]

There's very few channels that can provide information and discussion of a modern war, let alone an ongoing on, in such a clear, non bias, and informative way. Far too many capitalize on the conflict and provide info that is either wrong, heavily biased, or with so little info on. This is why you're the best history channel on this site, I will eagerly wait until next year for your follow-up vid on this conflict.

Die Ukraine

[@commandervile394]

This is already extremely biased right from the get go. It did not "start" with annexation of Crimea, CIA/Obama administration supported the coup de tat` during Maidan Protests and started arming/funding far right-wing neo nazi militias in Ukraine such as Azov Battalion and Right Sektor. They did not want the pro-russian Yanukovich to win the elections because he was very popular. The west did was it always does and interfered and sewn conflict and that eventually led to the Odessa Federal Building Massacre in which ukrainian militias and civilians firebombed a building full of russian-speaking ukrainians, killing women (some of which were pregnant) and men, any survivors were shot or strangled or were forced to leap to their deaths from the windows. This is all documented, recorded by video and photos by the way. After the massacre pro-russian militias started popping up everywhere and a resistance formed against the neo-nazi militias, in which Russia supported, THEN Crimea WILLINGLY joined Russia without firing a shot, they were welcomed with open arms, Crimea did not want to be part of the western puppet nazi country of Ukraine. And now we are where we are..

[@PolishTortoise]

Many Americans seem not to understand how important for Poland and whole NATO is Ukraine's survival as indepemdent state. If they fail, we will have Russians in several places at our borders (Kaliningrad Oblast, Belarus and Ukraine). This is also important to NATO, and in turn to USA's imperial status. If USA looses all it's allies, then you guys will have to change your politics to isolation, which will bring you even higher prices of your life. Ukraine's survival is Poland's safety. Poland and Europe's safety is American well-being. Not to mention how Poles have enough of wars with our neighboors. Poland, Ukraine and whole Western & Central Europw deserves peace.

He is far from objective. He intentionally ommited the information that any Pro-Ukranian would like to close their eyes for. This conflict did not start with Crimea, started earlier when Ukraine massacred their protesting citizens and conducted a coup.

Yeah, I like how he didn't romanticize any battles, groups, or individuals. *But* he didn't do justice to the crimes and atrocities committed by Russian forces. Objectivity would include highlighting the Ukrainian Genocide as well.
