На самом деле, это довольно часто встречающийся "аргумент". Думаю, он появился благодаря социальным опросам, в которых очень "образованные" японцы обвиняли русских в бомбардировке Хиросимы и Нагасаки, потому что они на самом деле не знают, кто это сделал (а если ты не знаешь, кто виноват - значит виноваты русские)

@Max შემიწყალე even if that had anything to do with it (which I disagree with because Japan remained independent) it is sure as heck not ‘blaming’ the Soviet Union.
how's that? you can't compare education in Europe, including russia and older soviet countries, with any other in the world apart from countries like Singapore, Hong-Kong, etc. In the Americas, besides Canada, the rest is really bad, and unfortunately, Africa is still the wealthier continent with the poorer educated (as we wish, of course).

What is the woman at 1:20 blabbing on about? She says the US blames USSR/Russia for the atomic bombs dropped in Japan? As an American, I've never heard this. And said US-Russian relations have never been positive except WW2 but the 1990's things were relatively positive. There was hope that Russia would turn into a normal country but the brutal way Russia fought in Chechnya gave the west and US less hope in Russia. It was under Putin the relations soured.
@@kastus77 Yeltsin, right? Is it Eltsin in Russian? The mid 90's fight in Chechyna was already seen as troubling in the west but they hoped things would change. The 1999 fighting lead by Putin was brutal and that really concerned the US and west. Putin did basically what he had done in Ukraine and Syria which is target civilians and punish them.
I heard several times that Japan was about to surrender anyway, and the bombs had 2 goals : end the war before USSR turn against Japan and take control of the island, and the bomb will show how powerful the US are so the USSR will not turn against them. I guess that's what she refers to
"how can they attack us?" Some people are detached from reality to assume that they can wage war, and not be hit back by those same people. They don't have their own feet attached to the ground.
7:47 "We were on a tour of Bryansk, they were already shelling there, what right do they have?" Umm... the right of any country/person to defend themselves from unprovoked attack. Russia bombs kindergartens and says it's Ukraine's fault for defending itself.
She never said that US blamed Russia about Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing. She said "В японии выстроили такие отошения что виновата pоссия". Translation is "In Japan, they built such attitudes that Russia is to blame". I saw a video where Japanese people were asked about who bombed them and majority said Russia. The question remains - why people think that.
I would imagine the Japanese still remembered defeating Russia in the Russo-Japanese War and other hostilities with Russia, which is a close geographic neighbor, and so in many ways it was an almost natural, albeit incorrect, conclusion that it was the Russians as they had ample historical reason to be vindictive towards the Japanese people.
Stalin invaded Manchuria the same day the 2nd a-bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. So the Japanese people probably felt they were stabbed in the back and blame USSR for them losing WWII, not dropping the a-bomb.
@@iMost067 Japan never invaded USSR in WWII. Stalin didn't want to fight a 2-front war and Japan didn't have enough resources to fight USSR and US at the same time, so they signed a neutrality agreement. Of course Stalin also signed a neutrality agreement with Hitler.
No, seriously, you're allowed to support the government as much as you want. It's like the old saying about Ford "you can choose any color you want as long as it's black", here it's "you can express any opinion you want as long as it matches the government view"
Never mind, here, in Russia, it is normal been in parallel reality and do not see naked facts. It is country of absurd, but be careful- that is why we get victory against Napoleon(he did not expect such unprecedented stupidity from the enemy; our tactics then do not lend themselves to any logical explanation at all).
According to Valentina 2:46, when the US comes to the aid of a people under attack by tyrants, it's "starting a war." Ok then: In that case, when the US began aiding the USSR in the 1940s, it "started" World War II. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 And she's supposed to be an educated person! (Retired economist.)
as a Chinese, the history with Russia is super complicated. China has lost most of her territory to Russia/USSR directly or indirectly. However China had also received a lot of assistance from USSR in the 50s. Today, it was the US led Western world that pushed Russia and China closer. Maybe it's not an alliance but it's definitely a partnership that benefits both sides
@@Thinkaton10 Yes, imo only indigenous people such as the First Nations of Canada, USA, Australia, and New Zealand have the right to complain. The settlers have exploited, genocided, and pushed the native people into tiny pockets of Indian Reserves. Of these countries, New Zealand is probably the one doing the most for reparation. All that's left to do is to change the name back to Aotearoa and elect a new flag, national anthem, and education system as Canada did. Australia and the US should follow suit.
Coming from one of the more neutral countires, there has never been a mention of Russia being blamed for that in the textbooks or any internet articles I've read in my language or in English.

Couldn't believe the guy in one video a while back using the apparent Russian equivalent of the "N" word while wearing a hat with the Michael Jordan jumpman logo. Clueless zombies.
As a Chinese I think Russia and China are not allies but we need each other’s support in many situations. China and Russia have maintained very positive relationship, economically and politically, for a long time with mutual respect. Sometimes I think this relationship is even better and more stable and sustainable than allies. No allies can last forever but a good neighbor is possible. Btw, I have seen so many colleagues from Russia and I work as a software engineer. I have met so many talented Russian engineers with superb math and coding skills. I ❤ them
Though China and Russia have a long border, the border is not near to the population center of either country. So, do Chinese and Russians think of the other as "nearby"?
@@johnren5233 It's a simple question about psychological distance. If you don't know the answer, just say so. Here in the US, residents of Boston are more attuned to Europe than to Mexico or China. Miami thinks of Columbia and Brasil as nearby. Honolulu thinks about Japan.
@@jonlenihan4798 I get it. Similarly in northeast China people feel close to Russia and Korea. In Inner Mongolia province of China there live many citizens from Mongolia. In Tibet and Yunan people feel even closer to Vietnam and other southeast countries than some part of mainland China. However that doesn’t mean Russia and China are NOT nearby because there are ppl living in the far east side of Russia and the borderline is so long. I encourage you google a city in China called Harbin and check out how heavy it is impacted by Russian culture. If you don’t know the answer just say no
Maybe he's thinking "Next time I will try an actual Chinese girl instead of a Russky who is just trying to kiss up to me by pretending to like the tyrants running China right now."
It is possible that China will not absorb Russia in the sense of annexation, because the risk is too great for China (social, economic, Russia is too depraved and rotten to the very roots). These are two very different autocratic systems based on different values. But China will certainly colonize and fully pacify Russia, so that it will no longer play any role, at most in the style of North Korea. In addition, China also started to care about good relations with Ukraine (due to its resources and location), which (surprise!) will not turn into a Russian colony and a large Russian concentration camp, as both China and Russia imagined a year ago.
@@tnickknight All it takes is a little referendum. Ask some of the Chinese living/working in Russia if they would like their current locations to become part of China. Then declare that they all said yes, sign a few papers and voila.
@@evbuzzi6749 USA can't expand NATO in any way, so that's a weird angle. Countries can voluntarily seek to join NATO, and it doesn't take a lot of research to understand why all the countries in Europe have joined NATO - not to attack Russia, but to protect themselves FROM an attack BY Russia. If Russians would just ditch their shitty, corrupt dictatorship, Europe and the US would gladly work with a normal, reasonable, democratic Russia.
@@evbuzzi6749 "USA wants nato on russian borders" shows you clearly do not understand what NATO is. No country has ever been forced to join NATO, regardless of what the USA wants. Every single member of NATO joined it of their own free will, with the acceptance of every other NATO member (not only the USA). They are also free to leave whenever they want. This can easily be seen now with Turkey alone blocking Sweden from joining NATO, while the USA has clearly stated that they want Sweden to join. Since every single NATO member joined NATO of their own free will, and could also leave if they wanted to, the question you should be asking is rather: Why do these Russian neighbours want to be a part of NATO? I find the answer to that question obvious considering the history, and what is happening in Ukraine right now. It feels very strange that you should blame the USA for accepting these countries (also accepted by every single other member of NATO) into NATO when they themselves were asking to join. If you want to blame anyone for these countries being a part of NATO you should blame the countries themselves, that actively sought to join NATO.
My dad had a saying that when people are hell bent on destroying their lives it’s best to let them “live their paycheck”. If you try to rescue these people from their personal choices or try change their world views before they experience the natural consequences of those choices and beliefs, it’s not going to work. They will resent you for trying to help, make you responsible for for their lot in life and then embrace those who are trying to exploit them. If people in a culture value the mirage of strength and stability of authoritarianism, you can’t rescue them from the natural consequences of that belief. You can only wish them well and leave them to decide when they’ve finally had enough of the corruption and oppression that authoritarianism brings. Whether we help them or not, Ukraine has spent the last 13 months demonstrating that they will lay down their lives to fight for their sovereignty, freedom and self governance. It couldn’t be more clear that helping Ukraine, by giving them a leg up in this fight, is resources well spent because Ukraine is ready to change. Sadly Russia is probably best left to it’s own devices. Prematurely rescuing them again, like we did in the 90’s, will only perpetuate the problem for both them and for the rest of the world. If they believe that they can go it alone in the world or that they want to trust and partner with China, we should just let them.
I couldn't agree more. I've thought about this every time that I've heard an American say that the Russian people just don't understand what's happening. I'm certainly not saying that all Russians are bad, but most of them support what is happening. This is what they want.
Yeah I don't have much hope for Russia taking a democratic turn... They are in love with strong men who do nothing but exploit them.... They have proven time and time again they do not value or understand politics. At least many of the intelligent Russians were able to leave and I wish the best for that group...
I listened to a Timothy Snyder lecture the other day, where he says that the best thing that could happen to the russian people is the rf completely, decisively losing this war
Russia is now a vassal state to China, the junior partner in their new relationship, a source of raw materials for their industries. 14 months ago Russia was the leader of Central Asia, now the undisputed leader of that region is China. Russia is starting to resemble N. Korea more and more every day.
true. China has absolutely NO interest in building up the russian industry, all it wants is cheap oil and gas and they will just flood the russian market with their own products, as it is way cheaper for them to produce in China. So not having western investors in the russian economy will lead to russia being the new Iran. Only ressources, nothing else. Oh, of course some nukes.
Throughout 3000 years of history, China fought foreign invaders alone, never had allies. We did get help from the U.S. against Japan during WWII. But we won't forget after 1937 when Japan invaded China, U.S. merchants continued to sell oil and steel to Japan to help them kill Chinese. We also won't forget those "allies" who helped build Japan into an empire the first place.
What are you talking about? America is a friend of China for a long time, even when Russia has plans to divide for China, America does not have those plans. America's enemy is not China but the communist ideology. If it weren't for the help of Britain and the United States, I don't even see the possibility that the Chinese Nationalist Army has a chance in the armed struggle against Imperial Japan. America was still in business when the Chinese Nationalist Army still had a chance of victory, but when Japan attacked Indochina and South China, America stopped selling oil to Japan because the supply lines used to send weapons and materials to the Nationalist troops were cut. what is your nationality? Are you a citizen of the People's Republic of China?

It would be good if Russia would use Mexico for its own selfish purposes against the United States. How would the Americans react, would they be fools if they defended their borders? You Englishmen don't have to meddle where they shouldn't, I assure you we live very well in Russia. We are not afraid that we will not be able to go to Europe or the USA, we can go to many other countries. We do not need your technologies, and why should we service your external debt to our own detriment? In the war in Ukraine, the US aggressor against Russia is 100%.
I would rather the question being asked is of “good partners” rather than “allies”. Ally typically means you are all in on most if not all geopol-topics and must come to aid without regards for self interests, or the interests are mostly aligned. You can enjoy very close relationships and help each other economically, militarily internationally, but you should not lose your own national identities. China is a explicitly stated Non-Ally country. So I don’t think they are the ally that you are looking for. Nor should you expect allies in that strict “Ally”definition nowadays. US could be partners but they would prefer to keep larger countries subjugated unless you are small and could never pose any threats or challenges to their hegemony, or they will fuck you over like they are doing with Russia and China today. After all, “自力更生 (work hard yourselves)but with lots of good friends”should every countries motto.

If we’re talking about hiroshima and nagasaki can we please also talk about the massacre of katyn and the invasion of poland by russia? Or how the soviets were friends with the nazis and helped them defeating france in 1940? Remember the hitler-stalin pact!
@@willthecat3861 Stalin attempted to justify the occupation of poland, etc, by saying he knew Hitler was going to attack the east so by pretending to be his ally he occupied some of the east and protected it from Hitler. That might almost sound logical and sensical, if it was not for the massacres you mention, the fact Stalin in fact used the occasion to exterminate all the people with military experience, teachers, intelligentsia, politicians, anyone able to organise any kind of resistance against the nazis or against himself, in the countries he occupied and 'saved' from the nazis. This too I suppose although never mentioned in USSR was probably attempted to be portrayed or justified as self defense against capitalists anti communist or fascist partisan traitors - although they were too many for that to make sense.
On 6 and 9 August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively. The two aerial bombings together killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict. The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia prisoners of war carried out by the Soviet Union. Almost the same numbers. Did you mean The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? (which gave soviets some time to prepare for a war with a country with an ABSOLUTLY OPPOSITE IDEOLOGY) Should study history a little more. Ussr reconqured polish lands, annexed by Poland during Polish-Soviet War. But it's useless to enlight you, cause your mind is a dark side of the Moon.
@@danilabychkov7398 Your answer does not make a reasonable and fair comparison. Katyn massacre was only one among very many the soviet union conducted. In every country they occupied, they deported and killed very large number of civilians. They deported millions to Siberia; of those a large proportion died, already a much greater number than civilian deaths in japan. 22 000 is nothing, you have to add the civilians deaths in general the soviet union caused - in the second world war alone these are millions. The excuse it gave them time to prepare for war does not explain why they killed all military officers and any people able to organise a resistance in all the countries they occupied, countries they knew nazis wanted to attack. The truth is at the time, soviets thought genocide of populations was justified if it could help them enforce what they pretended to be a utopy, and was in fact a totalitarian state. There is no reason to excuse the disregard for human life of the totalitarian soviet union.
I visited Russia about 10 years ago on a tour. It was eye opening as Russia was painted as the evil for so many years by the Western media. Anyway my tour guide was a lady in her thirty. She was sad to see Russia stopped the space industry which was world leading due to economy, and had to share the knowledge with US for the money. People were looking for quick money instead of building up their competitive edge. China has probably done better in this regard.
@@freefree1219 Ideology talks aside, I think that's why some Russians like Putin say that the downfall of the USSR was a huge geopolitical catastrophe. Russia basically sold their entire country for cheap and that cost them decades of their future. During the same period, China was just about to jump on the globalization bandwagon and boom in economics, and the policymakers most likely have taken notes from the story very carefully.
"We've always had a fairly positive relationship with China, except for the conflict on Damansky Island" I guess she didn't learn that island is part of Outer Manchuria, which the Russians forcefully took from China in the 19th century. That's over one million square km worth of land, now giving Russia access to the Sea of Japan. I'm sure China would love to take that back. Russia is the only European country that still holds historically Chinese territories.
Imperial china ceded those lands without a fight because their control was nominal. There were no chinese subjects to bring under Russian rule. Few chinese habour irredentist thoughts wrt to russia and nobody claims those lands as you fantasize.
Well, Russia in one way or another will lose the Amur region including vladivostok. It will remain a russian city by name only. Maybe - prior to 2022 I never thought of that - it will be for the best. Amur and Siberia under chinese influence and indirect rulle could thrive. If Russians can t develop the eastern regions possibly the Chinese can?
@@formikulo nor did any Russians ever live there until they stole it from china , china had official territorial claims in the UN for most of Siberia until the mid 2000's If you think that the Chinese will provide one pence of assistance without reclaiming that lost territory , likely you haven't spent much time in china , their stolen Siberian land is more of a hot button issue to average Chinese than Taiwan

In Japan, it is not customary to say that America bombed their country with nuclear bombs. Young Japanese, I have seen interviews, often do not know who did it and some believe that Russia did it.
Watching this made me think of how the sentence "When one run out of arguments one resort to violence" also holds true to countries & geopolitics. Interesting topics & opinions as always Daniil.
You are correct: "One of the most senior US officials in the Pacific has refused to rule out military action against Solomon Islands if it were to allow China to establish a military base there, saying that the security deal between the countries presented “potential regional security implications” for the US and other allies. 26 abr 2022"
The US never wait until it has ran out of arguments before resorting to violence. Violence is the only thing they think of all day! They killed more Americans than all the world combined.
There were no arguments anyway. From very beginning, as in past, so now, the West only wants colonies, with cheap labor and resources. They don't need allies because they are possible competitors. Looking at arrogance of west, I don't mind if this world burns to ground.
Let’s get this straight: China’s purpose is to develop. Not war, not to beat other countries, just develop. And if you want to develop properly as a big country, you need to kind of stay neutral. Because the moment you pick a side, you limited yourself. That’s exactly what Europe is facing right now, they want to develop, they want to cooperate with China, but they’re “on America’s side”. Even a trip to China by Macron will be seen as "controversial".
Leon is 17 years old and already he has a greater understanding of geopolitics than most Russians. Gives me hope for a different Russia in the future that can work with other countries.

It seems that distrust in China is same for everyone in the world. Also funny that no matter how bad things go, Russian old people still seem to think that every good option for future is to be Soviet Union again. Babushkas are truly soviet to the bone. Golden memories for those who lived in privileged urban areas with no holodomors etc. Even though they were not privileged at all compared to West.
@@РусланЗаурбеков-з6е Communism is rubbish, suffering and poverty, death and despair. Any other fantasies and false memories are false. Old people always love old times and whatever it is today is wrong and terrible. It's always been this way, especially after societies started to develop and grew and technology skyrocketed. There is no answers in ancient false views, religions and other fantasies, and there's no deity controlling anything, and if there was, it's still a moot point, they are the ones controlling everything, puppets ignore their strings and do nothing else what the puppeteer moves them. "I can do no wrong. For I don't know what it is".
Nostalgia for past eras is the inevitable part of humans growing old. In the US, we're seeing a huge surge in the belief that things were better in the 80s, for example. Trump's MAGA slogan is an example of someone weaponising nostalgia, even though Americans were actually worse off in the 80s. Boris Johnson and Farage did the same in the UK, causing us voting for brexit. The phrase "we're no so different, you and I" springs to mind.
@@peterclarke7240 Both MAGA and Boris Johnson and anti-EU and exit movements were something that Russia has backed up and spread with trolls for over a decade now. It's funny how Putin then instantly repaired all the cracks between EU countries and USA by starting a war. Stronger than ever, and instantly also two new NATO members and NATO firmly united from pieces. Democracy won. Easily. Despite Putin's grandiose fantasies that have become a some sort of a religion, or cult. Now the Russian regime and it's corrupt network is destroyed in Ukraine, and it will never rise again.
And the fun part (or tragic more likely) is that they think they are some sort of superpower. 😂😂😂 With an economy and development like a mid 3:rd world country.......

There was a proverb in Russia and I didn't understand it until last year: "Optimists study English, pessimists study Chinese, realists study Kalashnikov".
@Forgot your password? That is really hilarious, but it’s true. Putin screwed up everything, he has no choice to allying with China, Iran even N.Korea.
I am really sad for some youth in Russia, there are too ignorant , the elders are more concious , cooperation is about give and take, but they always selfishly expect others only to give .In addition, Russia and China are neighbors that can never move away, so peace and cooperation are of greatest benefits for both sides. China obtains the market, Russia obtains the commodities that are sanctioned by the West and obtains foreign exchange, which is beneficial to both sides. and China has been stable in its policy towards Russia without back-and-forth. as for what is the common interest of China and Russia, is to deal with the pressure of the United States. China didn't agree sanction Russia like other countries , that has become a stain for many countries to criticize, what did russia do for China? why should China be asked to confront the mainstream world for Russia ? China relies heavily on the EU and the US for its scientific and technological sources and economic trade. Don't forget that it was Russia that hurt China more, when the Tsarist Russia stole more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land from China. something you might don't know, The price of oil and gas that China buys from Russia is also more expensive than that of the Middle East. Don't they know the collapse of the Soviet Union is because of the oppression of the United States in the Cold War, and the predicament after is also made by the United States, If you can not distinguish between the enemy and friends , there will be no wonder Russia has no friends, even the Central Asian Soviet Union countries to betray, because that hurts the heart of the friends.
That girl with the guy under umbrella... Alternate reality.. what is she smoking? It's Russia who is constantly attacking neighbors so US doesn't support that andshe thinks US blames Russia for atom bomb on Hiroshima? Nothing she says makes sense
Actually Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and Sakhalin have their own historical Chinese names for a long time.(Haishenwei, Boli, Kuiyedao respectively.) Chinese people can use either those names or Russian names. Same goes with some American cities (San Francisco-Jiujinshan) and places in South East Asia.
@@ПавелЗольников-п7э Just a plain fact, Pavel. Facts aren't propaganda simply because they don't suit you. Putin has positioned Russia in front of China with its back turned and its pants down.

Countries do not have friends or enemies. They have interests. Russia is entitled to pursue its interests, but what they cannot do is go around invading countries unless there is a reason like an attack or something (which is not the case)
Good to see a diverse spectrum of answers, but I am indeed surprised by the percentage of people expressing favorable views toward EU & US even at this historical moment, with ongoing war happening. Not sure how many Americans will express their favorable views toward USSR back in Vietnam. Many Chinese do not really have much clue on historical events on Russia-China relationship, and sadly it seems the Russian side wasn't much better on that neither. Both side were only educated on events where they got screwed by the other side, but clueless on events where they screwed the other side. Victims of propaganda barking at each other all the time. Both playing victims but in reality both deserve each other, I guess

I wonder if that girl thought (was told) that Russia opening a new front against Japan forced America's hand and therefore were somewhere held responsible for the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs? Or was it some Z propaganda thing where the West claims Russia really dropped those bombs? I wish there had been a follow up question on that one...
Given that US used this as display of power. Why would US accuse USSR for developing nuclear bomb, cutting edge at that time and most impressive scientific and military achievement. Ridiculous.
USSR did not declare war and invade until two days AFTER the first bomb was dropped. The US was pushing USSR to get in the war. They probably think that it was because the US had to drop the nukes because USSR was getting into the war.
The answers many, many Russians give (not all!) remind me of my sister. Always thinking about what other people do to her - or can do of favours for her; but she never ever thinks about what she does to people or what favours she could offer. Russians (Sorry for generalizing, I know not all Russians are like that!) speak a lot about what other countries do to them, never vice versa.
...and how it is in the US today. We are accusing Putin to be a "war criminal" because of "kidnapping children in Ukraine", but throwing napalm bombs on children is no war crime?!
Давай объективно у России есть геополитические влияние сравнимое хоть с одной страной хотя бы из списка стран Европы? Вот и я думаю что нет.

Ман, мы бензоколонка, которой управляют выходцы из КГБ, либеральной части КГБ, свергшей прошлое правительство СССР.

(Sovok) так вот ты споришь и возводишь в абсолют мнение каких то людей на видео, как я. Который являются русскими и могут ошибаться или быть наивными или очень последовательными в своих политических убеждениях. Вот только мы не имеем власти, никто из того кого ты видишь. Система с советского союза сложилась так что социальные институты стёрты, а институты силового подавления работают как часы.

Но во первых обсуждения таких вещей это статья. а во вторых ты можешь загуглить сколько в России в разных итерациях было революций за 100 и за 200 лет ?! Все было только хуже, исторические части в составе империи и позже sovka отделившиеся от России в ещё большей нищите и бесправности. Но по своим новым локальным проблемам. И не считая стран из востока Европы, которые не имели отношения к России и имели свои институты во все времена.

@@HahaMate FWIW i did translate your long post: Objectively, does Russia have geopolitical influence comparable to at least one country on the list of European countries? I don't think so either. Okay, there is a war going on, and it is clearly not in Russia's favor at the moment. But what does this have to do with what Russia does or can do for other countries? Man, we're a gas station run by people from the KGB, the liberal part of the KGB that overthrew the last Soviet government. But they are still the same proxies from the Soviet Union, there is a good derogatory word in Russian to describe this monster that ate up Russia for 70 years. (Sovok) so you argue and absolutize the opinion of some people in a video, like me. Who are Russians and may be wrong or naive or very consistent in their political beliefs. Except we don't have the power, none of the people you see. The system since the Soviet Union has been such that social institutions have been wiped out, and the institutions of suppression work like clockwork. We can lock up that part of the people, including the author, who should not be questioned. Because their words in our law will violate 2 or even 3 articles. And that promises not 2 or 3 years in prison, you know? Do you understand? 15 years, for example. You can answer about overthrowing the regime, about anything. But first of all discussing such things is an article. and secondly you can google how many revolutions Russia has had in different iterations over 100 and 200 years?! Everything was only worse, the historical parts within the empire and later sovka separated from Russia in even greater poverty and powerlessness. But on their new local problems. And not counting the countries from the east of Europe, which had nothing to do with Russia and had their own institutions at all times. You can learn this and finally wise up, stop looking at Russia as an expert, being a well-fed kid with rose-colored glasses( in terms of having a naive view of reality) Translated with DeepL

I don’t know the channel and I don’t know how much cherry picking went on in the process of making this video. What I find impressive is how much these young people seems to care and to be informed about what’s going on. You can’t find that level of interest in Italy, where I live, even in older generations (of course they are much more involved in geopolitical events than we are, but still…) Also, quite brave for them to discuss politics so openly, I truly hope they will not incur in any problem because of it!
I can only guess they are deliberately targeting young people close to universities OR make a huge amount of interviews as I kinda doubt every Russian is that interested in politics.

Somehow most people on both sides have missed the fact that for the past 200 years , china and Russia were mortal enemies supporting opposing armies during the cold war Beyond that china had territorial claims against Russia for most of Siberia until 2017 including Vladivostok If you actually spend time in china , average Chinese are furious about this. They vent more about losing Siberia and Mongolia than about Taiwan which plays big in the west. It is because in china everyone knows and believes that Taiwan is a part of china , because Taiwan never declared independence and no major countries recognize or claim it , this is not a big concern for normal people debated about , where as you will hear them moan and groan and claim that everything from the Pacific to lake Baikal is Chinese
@@knyghtryder3599 I knew China and USSR had an on again-off again relationship, but I didn't know Chinese claims from the Pacific to Lake Baikal. Right now I see it both as an alliance of convenience and perhaps an attempt by China to add the biggest spoke yet to its Belt and Road program. It would be ironic if Putin set out to rebuild the Soviet Empire and ended up turning Russia into a Chinese client state.
@@knyghtryder3599 The pair of Russia and China right now resemble the Soviet Union and Germany before the WW2. I wouldn't be surprised to see WW3 in the near future, where the USA would be ironically helping Russia to fend off the Chinese invasion.
I'm amazed how educated these people are, regardless of their ending viewpoint. I can confidently say that it would be hard for your average American to name another world leader than the U.S. president.
It's hard for you're average Russian to do that too. For every semi-intelligent interview in this video, there was probably10 that went absolutely nowhere. Most humans are on a 'need to know' basis.
Saying that the US tried to blame Russia for the atom bombs in Japan is not very intelligent. The US came straight out and said "Those were our bombs, and there's more where that came from". Then the war ended.
You can't call them educated because they just hear a lot of news and in that news they hear all of the names of politicians it doesn't make them intelligent at all.
I, against my will 😂, have to agree. However, I believe it's like what my son said once, many years ago, as a teenager that just came up with a humorous comment on something, that actually was spot on the "true truth" on the subject. "So, I'm wiser than my understanding?" "Så jag är klokare än mitt förstånd?" Meaning, they aren't aware of what they say is really clever. The words just happened to come out that way.😅

I love watching your channel because it is such an incredibly strong illustration of the power of propaganda. Over the last year, I've heard a continuous change in the comments and tenor of the Russian people. The older people especially (whom I assume are not really reading any external news via VPN), have said increasingly crazy things and forget the logic of the early invasion (Ukrainian Nazis). It reminds me to consider news from multiple sources, and those outside of those of my own preferences. If you don't hear multiple viewpoints, you only reinforce your own beliefs, which may be false. I know we are all susceptible to these manipulations. I hope they, and we, can see the truth behind the propaganda.
"If you don't hear multiple viewpoints, you only reinforce your own beliefs, which may be false" Good point, something happened in the UK a couple of years ago which surprised part of the population - because they only read/watched/heard views like theirs.
Preach. Watching these videos are so eye opening to how powerful media is. I've started watching EU news stations live here on YT because American political reporting is so polarizing, superficial and not very deep from both sides of the political spectrum. And as a Moderate/Centrist/Independent voter I just can't stand US Journalism anymore. It's interesting to hear about other news and stories going on around the world that just doesn't get any airtime in the US.

She never said that US blamed Russia about Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing. She said "В японии выстроили такие отошения что виновата pоссия". Translation is "In Japan, they built such attitudes that Russia is to blame". I saw a video where Japanese people were asked about who bombed them and majority said Russia. The question remains - why people think that.
I would imagine the Japanese still remembered defeating Russia in the Russo-Japanese War and other hostilities with Russia, which is a close geographic neighbor, and so in many ways it was an almost natural, albeit incorrect, conclusion that it was the Russians as they had ample historical reason to be vindictive towards the Japanese people.
Because they were not taught properly in school and ignorant about it, and that’s by design.

It is possible that China will not absorb Russia in the sense of annexation, because the risk is too great for China (social, economic, Russia is too depraved and rotten to the very roots). These are two very different autocratic systems based on different values. But China will certainly colonize and fully pacify Russia, so that it will no longer play any role, at most in the style of North Korea. In addition, China also started to care about good relations with Ukraine (due to its resources and location), which (surprise!) will not turn into a Russian colony and a large Russian concentration camp, as both China and Russia imagined a year ago.
@@tnickknight All it takes is a little referendum. Ask some of the Chinese living/working in Russia if they would like their current locations to become part of China. Then declare that they all said yes, sign a few papers and voila.

Russian:”USA is our ally.” 😂 Do these people understand what is happening?
Some ppl seems don't even understand what had happened to them back in 1990s. They reckon the USA helped them instead of dismembered them.
yes, USA wants nato on russian borders because they love russia and want stay as close as possible...
@@evbuzzi6749 USA can't expand NATO in any way, so that's a weird angle.
Countries can voluntarily seek to join NATO, and it doesn't take a lot of research to understand why all the countries in Europe have joined NATO - not to attack Russia, but to protect themselves FROM an attack BY Russia.
If Russians would just ditch their shitty, corrupt dictatorship, Europe and the US would gladly work with a normal, reasonable, democratic Russia.
@@evbuzzi6749 "USA wants nato on russian borders" shows you clearly do not understand what NATO is. No country has ever been forced to join NATO, regardless of what the USA wants. Every single member of NATO joined it of their own free will, with the acceptance of every other NATO member (not only the USA). They are also free to leave whenever they want. This can easily be seen now with Turkey alone blocking Sweden from joining NATO, while the USA has clearly stated that they want Sweden to join. Since every single NATO member joined NATO of their own free will, and could also leave if they wanted to, the question you should be asking is rather: Why do these Russian neighbours want to be a part of NATO? I find the answer to that question obvious considering the history, and what is happening in Ukraine right now.
It feels very strange that you should blame the USA for accepting these countries (also accepted by every single other member of NATO) into NATO when they themselves were asking to join. If you want to blame anyone for these countries being a part of NATO you should blame the countries themselves, that actively sought to join NATO.
Rather than China
My dad had a saying that when people are hell bent on destroying their lives it’s best to let them “live their paycheck”. If you try to rescue these people from their personal choices or try change their world views before they experience the natural consequences of those choices and beliefs, it’s not going to work. They will resent you for trying to help, make you responsible for for their lot in life and then embrace those who are trying to exploit them.
If people in a culture value the mirage of strength and stability of authoritarianism, you can’t rescue them from the natural consequences of that belief. You can only wish them well and leave them to decide when they’ve finally had enough of the corruption and oppression that authoritarianism brings.
Whether we help them or not, Ukraine has spent the last 13 months demonstrating that they will lay down their lives to fight for their sovereignty, freedom and self governance. It couldn’t be more clear that helping Ukraine, by giving them a leg up in this fight, is resources well spent because Ukraine is ready to change. Sadly Russia is probably best left to it’s own devices. Prematurely rescuing them again, like we did in the 90’s, will only perpetuate the problem for both them and for the rest of the world.
If they believe that they can go it alone in the world or that they want to trust and partner with China, we should just let them.
I couldn't agree more. I've thought about this every time that I've heard an American say that the Russian people just don't understand what's happening. I'm certainly not saying that all Russians are bad, but most of them support what is happening. This is what they want.
Yeah I don't have much hope for Russia taking a democratic turn... They are in love with strong men who do nothing but exploit them.... They have proven time and time again they do not value or understand politics. At least many of the intelligent Russians were able to leave and I wish the best for that group...

true. China has absolutely NO interest in building up the russian industry, all it wants is cheap oil and gas and they will just flood the russian market with their own products, as it is way cheaper for them to produce in China. So not having western investors in the russian economy will lead to russia being the new Iran. Only ressources, nothing else. Oh, of course some nukes.

Throughout 3000 years of history, China fought foreign invaders alone, never had allies. We did get help from the U.S. against Japan during WWII. But we won't forget after 1937 when Japan invaded China, U.S. merchants continued to sell oil and steel to Japan to help them kill Chinese. We also won't forget those "allies" who helped build Japan into an empire the first place.
What are you talking about? America is a friend of China for a long time, even when Russia has plans to divide for China, America does not have those plans. America's enemy is not China but the communist ideology. If it weren't for the help of Britain and the United States, I don't even see the possibility that the Chinese Nationalist Army has a chance in the armed struggle against Imperial Japan. America was still in business when the Chinese Nationalist Army still had a chance of victory, but when Japan attacked Indochina and South China, America stopped selling oil to Japan because the supply lines used to send weapons and materials to the Nationalist troops were cut. what is your nationality? Are you a citizen of the People's Republic of China?
You don’t need to minimize the help US and Australia provided in WW2, it was a large reason China was liberated.

I would rather the question being asked is of “good partners” rather than “allies”. Ally typically means you are all in on most if not all geopol-topics and must come to aid without regards for self interests, or the interests are mostly aligned. You can enjoy very close relationships and help each other economically, militarily internationally, but you should not lose your own national identities. China is a explicitly stated Non-Ally country. So I don’t think they are the ally that you are looking for. Nor should you expect allies in that strict “Ally”definition nowadays. US could be partners but they would prefer to keep larger countries subjugated unless you are small and could never pose any threats or challenges to their hegemony, or they will fuck you over like they are doing with Russia and China today. After all, “自力更生 (work hard yourselves)but with lots of good friends”should every countries motto.

Ya. They've got no clue about that. They never heard about it.... and, wouldn't believe it if they did.
Western Belorussia not Poland
@@willthecat3861 Stalin attempted to justify the occupation of poland, etc, by saying he knew Hitler was going to attack the east so by pretending to be his ally he occupied some of the east and protected it from Hitler. That might almost sound logical and sensical, if it was not for the massacres you mention, the fact Stalin in fact used the occasion to exterminate all the people with military experience, teachers, intelligentsia, politicians, anyone able to organise any kind of resistance against the nazis or against himself, in the countries he occupied and 'saved' from the nazis. This too I suppose although never mentioned in USSR was probably attempted to be portrayed or justified as self defense against capitalists anti communist or fascist partisan traitors - although they were too many for that to make sense.
On 6 and 9 August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively. The two aerial bombings together killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict.
The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia prisoners of war carried out by the Soviet Union.
Almost the same numbers.
Did you mean The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? (which gave soviets some time to prepare for a war with a country with an ABSOLUTLY OPPOSITE IDEOLOGY) Should study history a little more.
Ussr reconqured polish lands, annexed by Poland during Polish-Soviet War.
But it's useless to enlight you, cause your mind is a dark side of the Moon.
@@danilabychkov7398 Your answer does not make a reasonable and fair comparison. Katyn massacre was only one among very many the soviet union conducted. In every country they occupied, they deported and killed very large number of civilians. They deported millions to Siberia; of those a large proportion died, already a much greater number than civilian deaths in japan. 22 000 is nothing, you have to add the civilians deaths in general the soviet union caused - in the second world war alone these are millions.
The excuse it gave them time to prepare for war does not explain why they killed all military officers and any people able to organise a resistance in all the countries they occupied, countries they knew nazis wanted to attack. The truth is at the time, soviets thought genocide of populations was justified if it could help them enforce what they pretended to be a utopy, and was in fact a totalitarian state. There is no reason to excuse the disregard for human life of the totalitarian soviet union.

I visited Russia about 10 years ago on a tour. It was eye opening as Russia was painted as the evil for so many years by the Western media.
Anyway my tour guide was a lady in her thirty. She was sad to see Russia stopped the space industry which was world leading due to economy, and had to share the knowledge with US for the money. People were looking for quick money instead of building up their competitive edge. China has probably done better in this regard.
@@freefree1219 Ideology talks aside, I think that's why some Russians like Putin say that the downfall of the USSR was a huge geopolitical catastrophe. Russia basically sold their entire country for cheap and that cost them decades of their future.

I guess she didn't learn that island is part of Outer Manchuria, which the Russians forcefully took from China in the 19th century. That's over one million square km worth of land, now giving Russia access to the Sea of Japan. I'm sure China would love to take that back.
Russia is the only European country that still holds historically Chinese territories.
Chinese people never lived in Manchuria. Manchurian nomads invaded and conquered China.
Imperial china ceded those lands without a fight because their control was nominal. There were no chinese subjects to bring under Russian rule. Few chinese habour irredentist thoughts wrt to russia and nobody claims those lands as you fantasize.
Well, Russia in one way or another will lose the Amur region including vladivostok. It will remain a russian city by name only.

You are correct:
"One of the most senior US officials in the Pacific has refused to rule out military action against Solomon Islands if it were to allow China to establish a military base there, saying that the security deal between the countries presented “potential regional security implications” for the US and other allies. 26 abr 2022"
And the US is the most violent, militaristic country on earth
The US never wait until it has ran out of arguments before resorting to violence. Violence is the only thing they think of all day! They killed more Americans than all the world combined.
There were no arguments anyway. From very beginning, as in past, so now, the West only wants colonies, with cheap labor and resources. They don't need allies because they are possible competitors. Looking at arrogance of west, I don't mind if this world burns to ground.
you are right, all the countries that fought germany in ww2 did so only because they ran out of arguments
Let’s get this straight: China’s purpose is to develop. Not war, not to beat other countries, just develop. And if you want to develop properly as a big country, you need to kind of stay neutral.

I like it when the interviewees come out with some bizarre fiction that they have been taught, like the USA blaming Russia for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Here is the West's version of events. 26th July, USA, UK and China issued Potsdam Declaration (surrender or be destroyed). Japan didn't surrender. Aug 6th, USA bombed Hiroshima. Aug 9th, Soviet Union invaded Manchuria and USA bombed Nagasaki. Aug 15th, Hirohito announced surrender. What is Russia's version, I wonder?
The questions are provocative as always. It is especially unpleasant to listen to ignorant zoomers. People who choose USA, as if they did not understand that the current level of relations is the level of the Cold War. As Emperor Alexander 3 said, Russia has only two allies: its army and navy.

Nostalgia for past eras is the inevitable part of humans growing old. In the US, we're seeing a huge surge in the belief that things were better in the 80s, for example. Trump's MAGA slogan is an example of someone weaponising nostalgia, even though Americans were actually worse off in the 80s. Boris Johnson and Farage did the same in the UK, causing us voting for brexit.
The phrase "we're no so different, you and I" springs to mind.

I am really sad for some youth in Russia, there are too ignorant , the elders are more concious , cooperation is about give and take, but they always selfishly expect others only to give .In addition, Russia and China are neighbors that can never move away, so peace and cooperation are of greatest benefits for both sides. China obtains the market, Russia obtains the commodities that are sanctioned by the West and obtains foreign exchange, which is beneficial to both sides. and China has been stable in its policy towards Russia without back-and-forth. as for what is the common interest of China and Russia, is to deal with the pressure of the United States.
China didn't agree sanction Russia like other countries , that has become a stain for many countries to criticize, what did russia do for China? why should China be asked to confront the mainstream world for Russia ? China relies heavily on the EU and the US for its scientific and technological sources and economic trade. Don't forget that it was Russia that hurt China more, when the Tsarist Russia stole more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land from China. something you might don't know, The price of oil and gas that China buys from Russia is also more expensive than that of the Middle East.
Don't they know the collapse of the Soviet Union is because of the oppression of the United States in the Cold War, and the predicament after is also made by the United States,
If you can not distinguish between the enemy and friends , there will be no wonder Russia has no friends, even the Central Asian Soviet Union countries to betray, because that hurts the heart of the friends.

Good to see a diverse spectrum of answers, but I am indeed surprised by the percentage of people expressing favorable views toward EU & US even at this historical moment, with ongoing war happening. Not sure how many Americans will express their favorable views toward USSR back in Vietnam. Many Chinese do not really have much clue on historical events on Russia-China relationship, and sadly it seems the Russian side wasn't much better on that neither. Both side were only educated on events where they got screwed by the other side, but clueless on events where they screwed the other side. Victims of propaganda barking at each other all the time.

I wonder if that girl thought (was told) that Russia opening a new front against Japan forced America's hand and therefore were somewhere held responsible for the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs? Or was it some Z propaganda thing where the West claims Russia really dropped those bombs? I wish there had been a follow up question on that one...
I'm f*cking wondering that too!😂
Very strange, everyone knows it were whale and dolphin.
Given that US used this as display of power. Why would US accuse USSR for developing nuclear bomb, cutting edge at that time and most impressive scientific and military achievement. Ridiculous.
USSR did not declare war and invade until two days AFTER the first bomb was dropped. The US was pushing USSR to get in the war. They probably think that it was because the US had to drop the nukes because USSR was getting into the war.
The answers many, many Russians give (not all!) remind me of my sister. Always thinking about what other people do to her - or can do of favours for her; but she never ever thinks about what she does to people or what favours she could offer. Russians (Sorry for generalizing, I know not all Russians are like that!) speak a lot about what other countries do to them, never vice versa.
It´s a very favourable position to always see yourself as victim. Pretty immature position but tempting as you are never responsible for yourself.

Ман, мы бензоколонка, которой управляют выходцы из КГБ, либеральной части КГБ, свергшей прошлое правительство СССР. Но это все те же ставленники из советского союза, в русском есть хорошее пренебрежительное слово для описания этого монстра 70 лет разьедавшего Россию. (Sovok) так вот ты споришь и возводишь в абсолют мнение каких то людей на видео, как я. Который являются русскими и могут ошибаться или быть наивными или очень последовательными в своих политических убеждениях. Вот только мы не имеем власти, никто из того кого ты видишь. Система с советского союза сложилась так что социальные институты стёрты, а институты силового подавления работают как часы. У нас могут посадить ту часть людей, включая автора, которых не стоит опрашивать. Потому что их слова в нашем законодательстве будут нарушать 2 а то и 3 статьи. И сулит это не 2-3 годами тюрьмы, понимаешь? Ты понимаешь? 15 лет, для примера. Ты можешь ответить про свержение режима, про что угодно. Но во первых обсуждения таких вещей это статья. а во вторых ты можешь загуглить сколько в России в разных итерациях было революций за 100 и за 200 лет ?! Все было только хуже, исторические части в составе империи и позже sovka отделившиеся от России в ещё большей нищите и бесправности. Но по своим новым локальным проблемам. И не считая стран из востока Европы, которые не имели отношения к России и имели свои институты во все времена. Ты можешь это узнать и наконец поумнеть, перестать смотреть на Россию как эксперт, будучи хорошо накормленым парнишкой с розовыми очками( в плане с наивным представлением реальности)
Victimization is a general human trait, acknowledging our own faults goes against our nature.
@@HahaMate FWIW i did translate your long post: Objectively, does Russia have geopolitical influence comparable to at least one country on the list of European countries? I don't think so either. Okay, there is a war going on, and it is clearly not in Russia's favor at the moment. But what does this have to do with what Russia does or can do for other countries? Man, we're a gas station run by people from the KGB, the liberal part of the KGB that overthrew the last Soviet government. But they are still the same proxies from the Soviet Union, there is a good derogatory word in Russian to describe this monster that ate up Russia for 70 years. (Sovok) so you argue and absolutize the opinion of some people in a video, like me. Who are Russians and may be wrong or naive or very consistent in their political beliefs. Except we don't have the power, none of the people you see. The system since the Soviet Union has been such that social institutions have been wiped out, and the institutions of suppression work like clockwork. We can lock up that part of the people, including the author, who should not be questioned. Because their words in our law will violate 2 or even 3 articles. And that promises not 2 or 3 years in prison, you know? Do you understand? 15 years, for example. You can answer about overthrowing the regime, about anything. But first of all discussing such things is an article. and secondly you can google how many revolutions Russia has had in different iterations over 100 and 200 years?! Everything was only worse, the historical parts within the empire and later sovka separated from Russia in even greater poverty and powerlessness. But on their new local problems. And not counting the countries from the east of Europe, which had nothing to do with Russia and had their own institutions at all times. You can learn this and finally wise up, stop looking at Russia as an expert, being a well-fed kid with rose-colored glasses( in terms of having a naive view of reality)

Somehow most people on both sides have missed the fact that for the past 200 years , china and Russia were mortal enemies supporting opposing armies during the cold war
Beyond that china had territorial claims against Russia for most of Siberia until 2017 including Vladivostok
If you actually spend time in china , average Chinese are furious about this. They vent more about losing Siberia and Mongolia than about Taiwan which plays big in the west.
It is because in china everyone knows and believes that Taiwan is a part of china , because Taiwan never declared independence and no major countries recognize or claim it , this is not a big concern for normal people debated about , where as you will hear them moan and groan and claim that everything from the Pacific to lake Baikal is Chinese

I love watching your channel because it is such an incredibly strong illustration of the power of propaganda. Over the last year, I've heard a continuous change in the comments and tenor of the Russian people. The older people especially (whom I assume are not really reading any external news via VPN), have said increasingly crazy things and forget the logic of the early invasion (Ukrainian Nazis). It reminds me to consider news from multiple sources, and those outside of those of my own preferences. If you don't hear multiple viewpoints, you only reinforce your own beliefs, which may be false. I know we are all susceptible to these manipulations.
I hope they, and we, can see the truth behind the propaganda.
"If you don't hear multiple viewpoints, you only reinforce your own beliefs, which may be false" Good point, something happened in the UK a couple of years ago which surprised part of the population - because they only read/watched/heard views like theirs.
Preach. Watching these videos are so eye opening to how powerful media is. I've started watching EU news stations live here on YT because American political reporting is so polarizing, superficial and not very deep from both sides of the political spectrum. And as a Moderate/Centrist/Independent voter I just can't stand US Journalism anymore.
