Ukraine: On the Brink of Invasion

[@sidgentle9634]

Been praying for an extended Mad Mac video since the Ukraine and Georgia NATO mini doc. Please let this be it!

[@stepanyurtsiv3525]

Thank you for an informative and pragmatic video. A lot of people agree that such an invasion is simply not viable for Russia politically and economically. I hope it's really the case. Btw. it's not "Holomodor" but "Holodomor"

[@MadMacGeopolitics]

Thanks for the correction!

Well, it happened... :(

I love these videos. Always feels like I watch a class presentation from the top student in the school 🎓

[@infernosgaming8942]

Something not a lot of people understand is that Ukraine has effectively been in a one-handed fight with russia for years. In 2015-16 they were almost successful in putting down the uprising in Luhansk and Donetsk, however a swift Russian invasion destroyed their army and pushed them back out of the Luhansk and Donetsk territories. This wasn't Russian advisors helping these rebels or supplying them with equipment. This was a full-blown invasion with Russian tank armies invading Ukraine, and no one said a word in western media.

I saved this video into my "watch later list". I stumbled upon it now. Oh well... good prediction :(

[@CairnsG]

I’m Russia did invade Ukraine would they annex the entire country or just parts of it?

[@MadMacGeopolitics]

I feel they would annex only parts, but turn Ukraine into a puppet regime, similar to what Belarus is today.

[@roberthoyt7921]

​@@MadMacGeopolitics Turning Ukraine into a pro-Moscow puppet regime will be Russia's greatest geopolitical mistake and it will fail miserably. Ukraine will remain pro-European no matter what Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin and his cannibalistic forces may try to do against it.

@@roberthoyt7921 that’s why they shouldn’t bother invading in the first place

[@roberthoyt7921]

@@MadMacGeopolitics Russia should be one that should NEVER bother invading Ukraine (and Georgia) in the first place.

[@ArdaSReal]

This is the perfect moment fro Turkey to establish itself in the Russian territory around the Black Sea, and I really want to believe that the West will help Ukraine. The outcome could be great but we'll see

[@Heres_Fatih]

This video aged very well

[@matthewtymczyszyn8948]

What is Georgia’s position in all this? Will this spill out into a wider Black Sea conflict?

[@MadMacGeopolitics]

I cannot say at the moment for certain, but I feel as if an invasion of this type occurs in Ukraine, it could end up giving Russia an excuse to invade Georgia as well, with them somehow finding a reason to do so

[@androtchitchinadze3450]

@@MadMacGeopolitics After the cetrainty of Invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the US increased Georgias Military defence budget by twice as much as it used to be. Which is more beneficial to us Georgians. But still, nobody can withstand such a Monster like Russia.

you said that southern and easter part of ukraine wanted to had ties with russia, more than eu, this is not true. the most pro russian region was donetsk with 38 pecent of prorussian people tho

[@demos5302]

i think it is posturing to look strong. russia is a evil country but they are not stupid and they are definitely not leaving hundreds of tanks out in the open. if there is a invasion. i think it would be best to liberate Ukrainian territory as of today. rather then push into russia due to nukes.

[@markaleksanian3628]

Can you give arguments on why you consider Russia an "evil country"?

[@demos5302]

@@markaleksanian3628 the fact that it decriminalized fomestic violence. It invaded foreign nations with no cause. And the fact that its a autocracy

[@markaleksanian3628]

@@demos5302 Okay. To begin with, Russia never decriminalized domestic violence. It did some changes to law which where, unfortunately, not very effective. I know some of you snowflakes are especially sensitive to this topic. But nature is violent, humans are violent too. There will be always domestic violence in every single country of the world, you like it or not. The problem is, you state that the country is evil but the vast majority of Russians do not approve of men hitting a woman for example. You could try doing that in the middle of the street, some other guy would knock the sht out of you. There are always EXCEPTIONS but it doesn't make RUSSIA AS A WHOLE EVIL. Next point: It invades countries for no particular reason. I am not going to discuss. You don't seem to have your facts in check. It is an autocracy? Yes, so what? Who defines what governing system is the most correct? You and your inflated ego? V. Putin has done a marvelous job taking the country from absolute shithole to a very strong position. You probably even think, as most of rusophobes, that Russia has a weak economy. I can assure you that university graduates stay in Russia to work in Russia because the salaries are excellent and the quality of life is growing year by year. He has protected core values of humanity like family, husband, wife. Literally what every basic mammal does and we, as a degenerate race of lust driven species, have been neglecting as of lately. The citizens of Russia.... no, the CHILDREN and future generations of Russia are SAFE of western degeneracy. They are safe from it's weakening brainwashing, they know their past as a country, they know if they are a boy or a girl and who is their mother and who is their father. They will live in a good family. And that is thanks to Putin. You have two options: you either reconsider your whole perception of the world around you, because it is infantile. Or you stay as an ignorant very special snowflake.

[@demos5302]

@@markaleksanian3628 funny how you call me a "snowflake" and then scream RUSsOPhoBIA1!1!! When your bullshit is challenged. Ok 1. You are technically correct they never de riminalized it formally. But it went from a felony to a misdemeanor with 3 days of prison or a week of community service. But mostly fines. And police did not even have to respond to phone calls about it. After decriminalization it happened in 1/4 russian homes.

Interesting that you didn't mention US' backing of the Maidan revolution, which is a VERY important factor of Ukraine's past and current situation. 🤔

[@ahmedsaleh9509]

San marino backed it too

[@Subject82]

The US has already stated it won't deploy any troops to Ukraine. NATO will follow whatever the US does. So Ukraine is already lost.

Turkey is a member of NATO. This intervention you speculate on would cause WW3.

[@andrei1971]

Perhaps Turkey would like to reclaim Crimea for what the Soviets had done to the Turkish Tartars.
