For what!?
The nuclear warheads did not belong to Ukraine, they were USSR warheads deployed in Ukraine, as they were in Belarus and Kazakhstan. The launch codes were always in Moscow. The only reason the Ukrainians made an issue of returning the Warheads was because they wanted to be paid. Niether of the three countries wanted to spend to maintain a nuclear stockpile.
The secure codes only applied to the ICBMS not the tactical nuclear weapons. Operational control may have remained with Russia but administrative control remained with Ukraine.
@@zzip0 Russia inherited the UN security Council seat and operational control of the USSR's nuclear stockpile. Moscow was always the political and military centre of the USSR.
Being a tad "elderly" I would have thought as a "Westerner" that more folks would have known this. I am dead wrong. Shows the eventual "price" of "assuming" instead of ascertaining. Perhaps we can hope that a "few" can wake up....and realise, no matter how reluctantly where the REAL problem is. Here is a hint. It is NOT Russia.
Young people aren't taught world socializing most young people think Russian citizens in mass don't support the anex they don't even realize 2/3 of the countries around the world chant death to Americans in there own government and on here streets
"Russia invaded Ukraine for the sole reason of plundering it and enriching the ruling class" (c) WAGNER'S FOUNDER AND COMMANDER, EVGENY PRIGOZHIN Here's a hint - the problem IS Russia, as well as creatures like you who don't care for deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
As a another tad "elderly", I can attest to the facts presented are right and even more damning facts were not presented that clearly show how culpable we are. There is something to be said for living a long life and preserving your memories of past events. The media has completely misrepresented the facts to the public.
John Mearsheimer and Jeffery Sachs, both who have spent their lives working on diplomacy have been telling us the deepstate and NATO are to blame for this war since day one. PUTIN was NOT unprovoked.
I suggest you watch his interview with the son of the Shah of Iran to find out what really happened rather than the conspiracy view that it was a CIA coup. In the interview by PBD of the son of the Shah, I suggest you watch it. Bc he says that’s not what happened. This video was absolute dog shit by the way. Absolute anti-west / anti-American propaganda. Complete distortion of the truth
U putting hm btw d hard place n a rock bcz he's American Iranian.He knws wht goin on bt he doesn't want 2 say much abt d injustices of the middle east especially abt Iran his home country n Israel d allie of US whch is his beloved country whch he once saved it's army.
No, he didn't. Just making a timeline and then going to distort almost all of the points to provide a pro Russian narrative is not a "next level amount of research", it's just propaganda
Bro, it sounds to me like someone other than Bet-David watched the same two PBS Frontline documentaries that I did and wrote that piece for him which he read POORLY from a teleprompter.
Nothing new here, except if you are from the west. This is common knowledge everywhere. I'm not surprised it took him 3 years to finally say it, he us in the west
Amount of research? It's funny how Americans think they always know the true story and sides but you fuck up everything every time. Do you know that the "nazi" gave candy to the kids in east Europe when they invaded and occupied, but the "good" Russians raped everything that had a hole and moved. Most of you can't even find Ukraine on the map, but know a well documented research. If a country did so much bad to you spanning hundreds of years, you sure want to have a choice in getting allied with the ones that treat you right.
For the truth, it’s incredibly important to understand the events and the timeline as they are. I think this helps many people see the situation from ‘all’ perspectives. Great work, sir. 👍
"The invasion was done not to protect people of Donbass, but solely to plunder Ukraine for Russian ruling class to enrich themselves" (c) WAGNER"S FOUNDER AND COMMANDER, EVGENY PRIGOZHIN Here's russian perspective directly taking responsibility for the war.

He has the courage to cover some sensitive issues like this and tell it as is without buying into any form of spinning. He searches for the truth and follows the data wherever it leads and then informs his listeners of the raw truth that can't be found anywhere else.

This was all well known. Tucker was saying this in 2022 and he was fired from FoxNews as a result. Did anyone ask why Joe Biden was a Special Envoy to Ukraine just prior to that 2014 election?

@@censorshipagainstthemiddle6198Yes. Did he mention that was the year that Joe Biden was a special envoy to Ukraine and that Hunter Biden opened his Ukrainian pharma company and got a job on the board of Burisma?

@@yastyman It's not cause of good commercials. It's because people were treated like cattle in rus empire, ussr and it was horrible period of time. So naturally the decision of majorities was to run away from moscow. And this NGO nonsense has nothing to do with it.

NATO: Expands eastward. Russia: Please don't! NATO: It's our policy, can't help it. :-) Russia: But you're risking war! NATO: We're a DEFENSIVE alliance with DEFENSIVE missiles and DEFENSIVE military bases. Russia: But we don't want your missiles on our border. Get out please! NATO: We didn't force anyone to join, they wanted to join themselves! Now we'll expand more. Russia: You've crossed the line! I'm done with talking! NATO: YOU SEE?! You're so bad! This is why we have been surrounding you for the past 20 years!
There have been no tactical nuclear NATO missiles in Europe since 1991 and the decommissioning of the land based Cruise missiles as part of the INF treaty.

@@buzzy2587 As a scholar, he is the best on the subject. The main difference between him and Sachs is that Sachs was actually part of the transformational process of former communist eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. He was there, he talked with the leaders of that time and he can give a first person account of what happened.
I just wrote the same. Where Minsk agreements were West lied. Where Victoria Newland in 2014? Where history? Never in history Ukraine country existed!! Western Ukraine is a Poland !!! Putin didn’t want war. NATO on the boarder with Russia WHAT about Russia in Mexico and Canada????
Wait, so 90% voted for independence? I think I remember there being a referendum on preserving the USSR in some form or another, and I remember that most of Ukraine voted for preserving the USSR (a few of the western regions voted against it). It could be just me, but I think that took place.
@Aiko-dm7ny but the eastern and Russian speaking Ukrainians did vote to stay with russia. This is why the front lines are where they have been for 3 years.
Btw. It was the EU that said, Ukraine can't join and keep it's economic ties with Russia at the same time. The Russians had not problem with Ukraine joining the EU. They only don't wanted it to join NATO. And for a simple reason, because NATO would station short and middle range Nukes in Ukraine, and Russia wouldn't have enough advance warning time in case of an emergency, to make sure if its a false alarm (which happened multiple times on both sides during the Cold War) or an actual attack on them. You cant make a qualified decision in 3 minutes, if there is a nuklear attack or not.
An aggressive dictatorship did not want a free country to join a defense alliance. Aggressive dictatorship organized an invasion of the free country to plunder it. And you're saying that the country that wanted defense is wrong???
what a pile of bullshit, Finland is now part of NATO and it's next to russia, this people need to educate themselves before repeating russian propaganda, what's next? russia attacks Finland for the same reason?

Ukrainian nukes = U.S. nukes in Germany. Belonged to Moscow, controlled from Moscow, just stationed in Ukraine. Like it was in Kazakhstan and other parts of the USSR. Can Germany say that they have nukes? Even Ukraine's first president admitted that they had neither infrastructure nor resources to simply service and support all that arsenal. And no codes to launch them.
The nukes issue was resolved diplomatically, unfortunately putin failed to keep the provisions to recognize and guarantee Ukraines borders. At this point the only issue is russian troops attacking Ukraine...
@@garyyoung3179 you mean if the stole what wasn't theirs? There was even no talk about such "reengineering" at that time. This is smth new they recently invented as part of their current narrative. They simply had Russian missiles on their territory, which they had to give to the owners. And even tactical nukes still need maintenance every several years and a facility for recycling and storing the waste, which Ukraine couldn't provide.
So why is it ...that every single member of the former Warsaw pact countries...and ALL the Baltic states...have joined NATO rather than return to some kind of 'strategic alliance' with Russia.
@@timb350 The same reason why Finland and Sweden joined.. manipulated and In fear made with propaganda and with some force by some powerful folks.. Why do you think Germany or Sweden don't say who blew up the Nordstream pipeline? same reason.. Swedish people didn't wanted to join and Ukraine didn't wanted to join , but with propaganda for years they got what they wanted.. Imagine we in Sweden gave up nearly 200 years of neutrality. Russia has never invaded Sweden and has not had plans to do that either, and the same with Ukraine and Finland. BUT it's a bigger risk now when we all are in NATO and Nato is the one who wants war. Sorry for my bad English, but if something is unclear, just let me know, and I will try to explain better, my native language is Swedish so :)
@@timb350 They did not "choose". Russia lost the Cold War and became a de-facto colony of the west for almost 10 years. Those countries did not have any choice. If you have any significant foreign forces on your territory - you are occupied. NATO is not "protection", it's occupation. If you think those countries would be able to just exit NATO if they wanted to and not pay for weapons - they cant'.
@@neolynxer Look up the definition of the word 'stupid'. Then go look in the mirror. Every single person in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia knows that if NATO left...the very next day Russia would invade.
@@normundsbrokans9223 that's not true. There are legit documents written by independent experts before the War began of how US and NATO could avoid a war with Russia. For instance, during the Minsk II ceasefire agreement, US was supplying Ukraine with bigger ammunition. This heightened Russia's suspicion of a bigger war and was corroborated by Angela Merkel last year.
@@normundsbrokans9223 your cynicism isn't lost on me but that isn't the point. The real point is the West have economic and political intentions for NATO expansion. Just as Russia also wants influence for the same reasons. But I very much doubt that USA would sit idly for Russia or China to build military bases in Mexico so why on earth do you think Putin would sit idly for that to happen on his border?
@@fidelamoah9115 people bordering Russia want to live without fear of Russia occupying us and only option is NATO and arming ourselves, no other real option for us sadly... we know what Russia is, we see it every day in our daily lives.

Hey Pat, this is one of the best videos you've ever made. However, you've forgotten to address the killing of the Russian speaking population in Eastern Ukraine.
I think the underdog story motive painted ukrain as hero and russia as villian and US superhero suporting the underdog...but that was the mistake. The reality is the other way round. OMG...It is Russia that actually needs the worlds' support.
US President makes agreement and has good relations with foreign government. Then establishment goes behind back and does the exact opposite of what he said. They are then supported by the swamp that is our current bureaucratic system currently running the United States.
NATO exercises. NATO was training Ukraine’s military. Trump did not control the other NATO nations during his presidency, nor was he likely aware that NATO was training Ukraine as a proxy to fight Russia.
Many many errors and completely selective and bias, omitting important facts to spread his fake russian prooganda. Biggest Putin ass-licker in the industry. Wonder how much the Kremlin is paying him.
Ukraine was part of Soviet Union idiot, engineers from all countries of the Soviet Union worked on this. This is not the merit of Russia, that's why it's called UNION!
Вообще странно что говорят о существовании Украины в составе Советского Союза... это как говорить что Байкал оккупирован русскими! Украины никогда не существовало как государства до 1991 года! Да и после они так и не смогли стать государством... просто грабили и воровали собственную страну до полного обнищания и залезания в долги и зависимость от Запада... а теперь просто платят своими жизнями и землями за то что попали в зависимость от Запада!
The foreign agent law is not something unique to Russia: The US has a foreign agent law since 1938. The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) (22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq.) is a United States law that imposes public disclosure obligations on persons representing foreign interests, requiring such “foreign agents” to register with the Attorney General. As amended over the years, it applies broadly to anyone who acts on behalf of a “foreign principal” to, among other things, influence U.S. policy or public opinion.
When Putin went into Ukraine I dug and this is what I found. The news stories never came down people just never looked. tyvm for keep trying to educate the rest of us. G_d bless.
Excellent summary, thank you. One small but important note.. right before Russia started amassing troops in Donbas, Ukraine was already doing the same and there are verifiable reports of several magnitude increase of artillery fire from the Ukrainian side days before invasion. All that to say, that there is a high chance Ukraine was amassing troops and conducting pre-invasion artillery strikes, to go into Donbas and Crimea. This isn't a surprise either, considering Ukraine was set on returning Crimea at that time. As V. Putin once said "If the fight is unavoidable, strike first".
The Russophobia and hate of Putin in Germany is disgusting. Putin gave a very good speech in perfect german at the Bundestag in Berlin days after 9/11.
Google Beslan tragedy - when Putin organized a terrorist attack on school, leading to deaths of 900 children. Google pictures of wiped out Ukrainian cities, look up the aftermath of russia destroying the damn, look up the aftermath of russia poisonin Seym river. If killing of children, raping of women, deaths of animals mean nothing to you - then yeah, you're a good Putin's fan.

The nuclear warheads did not belong to Ukraine, they were USSR warheads deployed in Ukraine, as they were in Belarus and Kazakhstan. The launch codes were always in Moscow. The only reason the Ukrainians made an issue of returning the Warheads was because they wanted to be paid. Niether of the three countries wanted to spend to maintain a nuclear stockpile.
USSR warheads means also Ukraine warheads.
The secure codes only applied to the ICBMS not the tactical nuclear weapons. Operational control may have remained with Russia but administrative control remained with Ukraine.

No, he didn't.
Just making a timeline and then going to distort almost all of the points to provide a pro Russian narrative is not a "next level amount of research", it's just propaganda

Bro, it sounds to me like someone other than Bet-David watched the same two PBS Frontline documentaries that I did and wrote that piece for him which he read POORLY from a teleprompter.
Nothing new here, except if you are from the west. This is common knowledge everywhere. I'm not surprised it took him 3 years to finally say it, he us in the west
Amount of research? It's funny how Americans think they always know the true story and sides but you fuck up everything every time. Do you know that the "nazi" gave candy to the kids in east Europe when they invaded and occupied, but the "good" Russians raped everything that had a hole and moved. Most of you can't even find Ukraine on the map, but know a well documented research. If a country did so much bad to you spanning hundreds of years, you sure want to have a choice in getting allied with the ones that treat you right.

Brilliant analysis. This should be essential viewing for all politicians in US and Europe.
Btw. It was the EU that said, Ukraine can't join and keep it's economic ties with Russia at the same time.
The Russians had not problem with Ukraine joining the EU. They only don't wanted it to join NATO.
And for a simple reason, because NATO would station short and middle range Nukes in Ukraine, and Russia wouldn't have enough advance warning time in case of an emergency, to make sure if its a false alarm (which happened multiple times on both sides during the Cold War) or an actual attack on them. You cant make a qualified decision in 3 minutes, if there is a nuklear attack or not.
Agreed, but alternatively, what reliable protection against invasion can Ukraine have? This always is not answered.
@roundedges2 Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine SSR has the points and details that will provide reliable protection.

Ukrainian nukes = U.S. nukes in Germany. Belonged to Moscow, controlled from Moscow, just stationed in Ukraine. Like it was in Kazakhstan and other parts of the USSR. Can Germany say that they have nukes?
Even Ukraine's first president admitted that they had neither infrastructure nor resources to simply service and support all that arsenal. And no codes to launch them.
That was true for the ICBMS not the tactical weapons. Ukraines point was they could have re-engineerd the strategic weapons had they retained them.
@@garyyoung3179 They didnt even have the money to maintain them. Not to mention they were known for selling nuclear secrets.

Hey Pat, this is one of the best videos you've ever made. However, you've forgotten to address the killing of the Russian speaking population in Eastern Ukraine.
I think the underdog story motive painted ukrain as hero and russia as villian and US superhero suporting the underdog...but that was the mistake. The reality is the other way round. OMG...It is Russia that actually needs the worlds' support.
Because it plays on American revolutionary war sentiments. It's intelligence agency disinformation.
Lookup the speech of Putin on the Security conference in Munich in 2007. All Europe leaders gave him after the speeach a standing ovation.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You forgot one part, those weapons that Ukraine gave up still belongs to Russia under the Soviet Union. So technically it's Russia Nukes
Also the fact that Russia has paid off all of the debt of all of their former republics
So spot on, Patrick; best historical narrative regarding this conflict by far!
Now Georgia regime change by NATO
By the way, the largest military exercises were in Ukraine during Trump presidency, also, he was first president who gave to Ukraine lethal weapons.
US President makes agreement and has good relations with foreign government. Then establishment goes behind back and does the exact opposite of what he said. They are then supported by the swamp that is our current bureaucratic system currently running the United States.
NATO exercises. NATO was training Ukraine’s military. Trump did not control the other NATO nations during his presidency, nor was he likely aware that NATO was training Ukraine as a proxy to fight Russia.
You missed the Donbass civil war. That period between 2014-2021. Lot of grey areas in Donetsk and Crimea on both sides worth exploring.
Well done PBD

Ukraine never had nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union did.
You know the old saying, ownership is 9/10ths of the Law.
Meaning, if you steal it, it's yours. So much, for civilized Society!
Ukraine was part of Soviet Union idiot, engineers from all countries of the Soviet Union worked on this. This is not the merit of Russia, that's why it's called UNION!
Вообще странно что говорят о существовании Украины в составе Советского Союза... это как говорить что Байкал оккупирован русскими! Украины никогда не существовало как государства до 1991 года! Да и после они так и не смогли стать государством... просто грабили и воровали собственную страну до полного обнищания и залезания в долги и зависимость от Запада... а теперь просто платят своими жизнями и землями за то что попали в зависимость от Запада!

One small but important note.. right before Russia started amassing troops in Donbas, Ukraine was already doing the same and there are verifiable reports of several magnitude increase of artillery fire from the Ukrainian side days before invasion. All that to say, that there is a high chance Ukraine was amassing troops and conducting pre-invasion artillery strikes, to go into Donbas and Crimea. This isn't a surprise either, considering Ukraine was set on returning Crimea at that time. As V. Putin once said "If the fight is unavoidable, strike first".

Lol I didn’t expect to see that 2021 ruSSian propaganda make a comeback
The Russophobia and hate of Putin in Germany is disgusting.
Putin gave a very good speech in perfect german at the Bundestag in Berlin days after 9/11.
Google Beslan tragedy - when Putin organized a terrorist attack on school, leading to deaths of 900 children.
Google pictures of wiped out Ukrainian cities, look up the aftermath of russia destroying the damn, look up the aftermath of russia poisonin Seym river.
If killing of children, raping of women, deaths of animals mean nothing to you - then yeah, you're a good Putin's fan.
So what?
Their brain is washed. Germany has strong propaganda
I saw a lot of anti russian propaganda there
@@owlbobo7504Putin is a different man now than what he was 23 years ago.
He gave a speech in german? He must be a great guy then! All clear! Especially after how much germany suffered in 9/11... 🤡
So there is more to it then Ukraine good, Russia bad!?
The main argument people gravitate towards is russia is the invader so all other valid arguments are void
U.S. bad as well.
All I know is Iron Curtain bad xD
