I love Magic Spoon, but they’ve discontinued the original cinnamon 😭 I tried the cinnamon roll and I just don’t think it tastes like cinnamon. Simon, please persuade them to bring it back!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
They don’t ship anything to the Eu so it’s sadly a useless sponsorship for all Europeans
this time it was not invasion, in ukraine from "international law" pov it is, but here he was destroying separatists, - arab terrorosts vakhabists that flooded ichkeriya and brought vakhabism to chechen islam
Putin on Chechnya: State unity is more important than self-determination
Putin on Donbas: Self-determination is more important than state unity.
You know, never really realized the irony in that. Pretty interesting.
Putin on anything: What is expedient to me and my agenda must be the truth.
Putin: “We must invade bcuz 10,000 years of Dumbass children attack from Kiev regime”
Same goes with west when speaking about Ukraine and Serbia.
Oh no it was Serbia who started all the bloodshed, shame on them
I want to add 2 more important names:
Alexander Litvinenko: He was a former FSB agent who was killed in 2006, poisoned with Polonium for writing a book about how the 1999 apartment bombings were a false flag attack by FSB.
Anna Politkovskaja: She was a journalist who was shot and killed in 2006, for exposing Russian war crimes during the Second Chechen war.
And another.
Zelimkhan Khangoshvili: Murdered by FSB in 2019 in Berlin, a hero who fought the Russian savages in Chechnya.
@@es68951 It's you Chechens, savages with a wild mentality. You forgot how you Chechens in 1991-1994 killed and raped ethnic Russians, just because they are Russians. You freeloaders all your life sat on the neck of Russians and ate Russian subsidies.
The coping machine that had no actual evidence and just spew bullsh*t for years showing how much he care for russia.
Like the guy divorced his wife with whom he had kids with and married a ballroom dancer then run of the england
He latter made ridiculous allegations with no f*cking evidence he accused putin of being pedophile and latter wjen nobody believed him and was calling him out litvenko on his bullsh*t one of his friends said the following Litvinenko still had the mind-set of a security officer and "could not understand the difference between truth and operational information."
Basicaly admitting he was pathological liar
Politkovsjata was killed by kadyrov for writing about kadyrov. No one in ryssia is allowed to say anything bad about kadyrov or chechens will invade your home beat you up and record your apology on camera. Not TH-camrs not pop stars not elected or nonelected government people no one is safe from chechens you can google thousands of videos with apologies
Days without Poles whining about Russia: 0
Akhmad Kadyrov's betrayal of Chechens forces had a lot to do with Russian victory I. 1999 as well. Today his son Ramzan Kadyrov rules Chechnya as a vassal kingdom.
Ramzan has had some disputes with Putin over the Russian military banning beards for it's soldiers so you never know how long he will remain the Kremlin's lap dog.
Without Putin there is no one to pay for his villas, yachts, supercars and women.
Not defending Kadyrov or Putin but I’d say betraying terrorists who decapitate prisoners, kidnap civilians, including children and bomb civilians isn’t a bad thing. The Chechen rebels were vicious and barbaric
@@ZeroResurrected The irony is that the Russian state does all of those things...
@@ZeroResurrected you are a lying pro-putin shill, take your 15 roubles, comrade
Interesting fact there are many young Chechen men following in their fathers' footsteps by fighting against the Russians as volunteers in Ukraine.
They known what Russia is doing and will do in Ukraine if the world lets them. Additionally, at least some probably hope losing in Ukraine will weaken Russia enough for Chechnya to try to liberate itself again.
When you know the terror that soviets or now Russians bring...
In the first month's there where busses coming full of Georgian men ready to fight same with Chechens. Pretty much everyone that was ever harmed by Russians are now fighting them in Ukraine. Shit if Poland and the baltics weren't in NATO I have no doubt they would've send there army's not just volunteers.
Chechnya is also a great source for Russian conscripts and mercenary companies to fight against the Ukrainians.
I'm sure Russia giving their disgruntled minorities battlefield experience and PTSD won't bite them in the ass later.
More are fighting on Russia's side though
@@Dizle81 It is expected that more will fight for Russia because the citizens of a country will toe the government's line.

Kadirov was assasinated not by a car bomb, but by bomb placed on a stadium. There is even footage from local news depicting the incident.
Great video, Simon, but a couple of inaccuracies, the most significant of which was that Putin was NEVER the head of the KGB. Putin worked as a KGB foreign intelligence officer for 16 years, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel before resigning in 1991 to begin a political career in Saint Petersburg. He moved to Moscow in 1996 to join the administration of president Boris Yeltsin.
a couple? the entire video is qanon bullshit disproven by western sources and blatant lies that go against every historical record

I mean, they did invade Dagestan... Russia can't just let that happen. You can criticize the how but it really had no choice but to go to war.
this whole vid is garbage there were terror attacks every single month for 30 years and fake money and drugs
all western sources denounce this conspirology and at the time pukin was a nobody. only when he became a proper dictator and closed all rpess he invaded sacartvello 2008
the extremist invade dagestan without asking permission from maskhadov because they want to take over chechen gov bit by bit
Poor russists... if they only had any other choice then to go a war
Bullshit not true at all they knew that these were a group of defected islamists acting on their own that had nothing to do anymore with the chechen army under the chechen government led by president maskhadov. Thats why they started to bomb their flats all over russia. They terrorised their own country, blamed it on chechens. They got exposed later but the ones who exposed the bombings were poisened, murdered etc. Litvichenko died 2006. He worked as former fsb. Go check his documentary

Also what has the islamic deserter group to do with the chechen army at that time. It was a defected group acting on its own so to put the blame on the whole chechen goverment under maskhadov is pruely done so to have a reason to break the peace treaty
@@general_romanbarkov Chechnya has never attacked Dagestan, you fool. These were people who entered the territory of Dagestan, and Chechnya had nothing to do with them, and those who attacked Dagestan did not represent Chechnya in politics or anywhere else
Chechnya did not attack Dagestan, stop lying. President Maskhadov condemned the actions of terrorists and offered cooperation with Russia in their suppression.
Very informative! Thanks 👍🏼
Gotta love how he said Russia attacks civilian targets, what about Nato and America in Iraq, Yugoslavia etc? Next Simon will say how deplated uranium ammunition and bombs are not a health hazard, just go and see ex Yugoslaviab rate of cancer on territory bombed by Nato with same bombs during 1999, if you insist on painting one side as evil don't ignore same things from other side.

why are you so offended when someone points out that russia did bad things?
Most of my college roommates (my second diploma was in the mid-2010’s) were Russian- one of them (born in the mid-80’s) mentioned at one point that even decades later most Russian landlords will NOT rent to Chechens due to the apartment bombings that happened. I don’t remember what we were talking about for that remark to come up but he didn’t go into much detail about why at that point.
And ironically those bombings were done by Russians
Sounds like they'd be better not renting to the FSB.
@@davescott7680 Yeah, but tell that to a Russian back in the 90’s. Doesn’t matter who actually blew those apartments up, it still resulted in that belief. Or he’ll, try it today, since they don’t have the same access to free and uncensored news media that we do in Europe and North America and anyone following this channel now knows just how much Putin has been propagandizing over the years.
The "we only rent to slavs" ads existed long before the apartment bombings. And still exists. Which is why when Russians started immigrating last year, there are were a lot of "we only rent to non-Slavs" memes made by Kazakhs, Kyrgizians and probably other neighbours as well. But that's just memes, in reality they showed hospitality.
@@belsempai2671 Russians do not rent apartments to migrants from Central Asia, not because they are racists. This is revenge for the Russian genocide arranged by representatives of these Central Asian peoples. Plus, these migrants, the Central Asian peoples, while in Russia, violate the rules and social norms in Russia, rape Russian women, sell drugs, and commit crimes. If you settle migrants from Central Asia in an apartment, they will drag another 20 fellow countrymen, destroy the apartment, make noise and interfere with neighbors because of this, the landlord will have problems with the police. Because of this, Russians do not rent apartments to migrants from Central Asia.
Thanks

Technically the Chechen wars is not an invasion like it is in Ukraine. Chechnya never was recognized as sovoreign nation, yes they had de facto control after winning the first war, so it is Putin just weeding out separatists in his own country.
the Taliban recognized it 🤣
But this conflict was somewhat anti colonial
Chechenia isn't putin's own country, his country is Russia. Chechenia is an occupied country by russian imperialists and communists.
Ok CCP shill.

Factually it is an invasion
As a Brit, every time Simon gets as far as Dag in Dagestan, my mind inserts Dagenham.
I think it's a local nickname for the area.
*Chechens deserve respect for their valiant resistance to a military Superpower, If only their population was in the 10s of millions they could have easily defeated and kept their independence from the Russians.*
Nah bro, they were fundamentalist Islamic, where the Sharia was the law, hell even the current ruler backed by Putin is more moderate than the last Chechen government, if Chechens were a democratic society the world might have backed up them, but being a landlocked country with not port and less than the size of the Donestk, Russia yes or yes will win.

The total loss of human life, including both combatants and non-combatants, is estimated to be over 60,000.
Way more. 2002 report alone was more than 200k that Bullshit with 60k came out 10 years later. Kadyrow himself said 300k…. His ministers was the one who at the beginning of 2000 said over 200k and then in I think 2010 on Russian order said 60. fuck Russia

It was the stadium. Even to this day when you visit the football stadium in Grozny, there's a dozen police officers patting you down thoroughly. They even pried my powerbank to check if it wasn't an explosive. And Ramzan was there as well, watching the game.
Dude, you at least had to talk about the Russian Theater incident when discussing this particular war.
This guy is pretty much straight up reading the Wiki page about this conflict. I have noticed very similiar things about his other videos. Theyre all just the Wiki pages

I find it shocking that Russia (as a political entity, not a cultural one) is perfectly content with slaughtering its or scarring its own military one generation at a time.

@@Silver_Prussian well Georgey, by sending an entire generation of young men to die in a needless war with no factual motivation other than political ambition and posturing, Putin is crippling the future of Russia. Are hundreds of thousands of battle-scarred troops good for Russia? For their economy? For the culture?
The Kremlin frames this conflict as a righteous, anti-fascist cause, but the only person to really gain anything of substantive value here is Putin. He has all the control he wants because the billionaire oligarchs give him money to do what they want. It's literally Stalin all over again

And I still find it shocking that Americans bomb civilians more than any other nation in the world calling it "rightful".

Things were about to get a whole lot worse..... But now cereal!!! 😂
This war affected me as a kid & I’m not even Chechen, but a black African. I saw the picture of innocent death civilians on the web & I’ve met traumatised Chechens in Belgium. I feel bad for the innocent people. My hate towards Russia increased significantly just because of this senseless war.
If not for this war we would have as much terrorism in Russia as there is in Syria or Afghanistan now. 20'000 chechens died out of million and there's absolute order and safety on the Caucasus rn.
I don’t. Let not forget these were the same people who terrorised and enslaved people. They were rules Islamic extremist.
Too be fair Robin Mangala make no mistake the Chechen's were just as bad and evil as the Russian's in both of the Chechen war's! Islamic terrorism were rife. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇦

Conservative Christain Right in Russia vs Islamism in Chechneya, if I was a westerner atheist of Christian background probably would have sided with the Chechens. But as an Arab of exislamic background, if i would have to choose would prefer Conservative Christians over Islamists. Nothing in the world is worse than Islamism maybe only Communism is as bad.
this war was not about religion but territorial control over a tiny piece of land
It's more of an Anti Colonial ethnic conflict, Not a Religious one
And besides Islamists do Rule Chechnya, they just are Pro Russian
1. It is you Arabs that brought your Islamic religion to the Caucasus and forced it upon us.
2. Russia isn't "conservative Christian", it's a post-soviet post-communist secular society.
3. No country sided with us, we were left on our own against Russian imperialism.
4. I am an ex-muslim myself and that's why I don't support you Arabs, cuz you are the source of problem to us, non-Arab people that were forcefully converted to islam in the past.
there are no conservative christian right in russia

half the country lives under saharia law and ignores federal laws

He will probably paint FSA as the good guys
Love the channel, but would still like to request a video on the Spanish Armada of 1587-1588. I know you guys focus on more contemporary stuff, but your perspective on this would be interesting, to me at least!
It's interesting how the excuse to invade Chechnya was very similar to the US excuse to invade Iraq. It's like they gave us an example of how to sell a new war.
Only if you could explain how Iraq did something similar to the US like a military force invading Russia from Chechnya else you do not know what you are talking about.
More like Afghanistan. Iraq was invaded under false pretenses.
@@madzihoveiraq invasion was even worse... because iraq was a sovereign nation...chechnya wasn't....
only diffrence is the chechens were actualy terrorists cuting heads of unlike the iraqis
Don't forget vietnam
Love you're guys channel , dutch greetings and keep it up.
You have to mention the Chechen atrocities too just as much as the Russian atrocities
This guy is like most on you tube, he makes out NATO and US and hero's
You have to mention those atrocities wouldn't have happened had Russia not invaded in the first place
Many Chechen atrocities were invented or distorted by Russia, and Chechen war criminals were punished even by Western countries, unlike russian ones. it is also worth mentioning.
@@kol-b5z same with Ukrainian atrocities now, people just deny that they exist and act like Russia is the only one commiting them, many russian atrocities were just created by Ukraine or done by Ukraine and blamed Russia.
@@andarara-c1p Russia wouldn't have invaded if not for the religious extremists who took control, imagine defending islamic extremists.
It's amusing how eastern Europe, Balkans and Caucasus, demonize Russia yet act like they are any different.
Thermobaric/Vacuum bombs are way older than the 1990s.
If chechens held their ground without much outside suport what could they have achieved with the kind of support that ukrainians get?
I think it was a shamefull decision of western countries to allow russians to do what they did in Chechnya,but at least they finally grown a spine and started to support Ukraine.
george bush decided to end support after 9/11.
@@soheil527 support has never been
There was a support from the west but not to Chechnya, the support was toward Russia in form of huge sums of money all the while pretending on cameras that they care about chechens. Now let the west deal with the beast they have kept alive.
Magic spoon is great except its $10 a box here in the US and its only enough for 1 decent size bowl lol
TFW when you’re a Russian POW and the Chechens start talking about making a skin suit.
You are awesome man, thank You.
Given Putin has gone on to use the same basic playbook in Georgia and Ukraine, I think it's safe to say Putin considers the tactics and methods used in Chechnya to be perfectly justifiable. In hindsight, looking at Chechnya and Georgia, Putin's true nature is rather obvious and the so-called Peace-Dividend was always going to be something of a fallacy.
Magic Spoon contains the sweetener Allulose, which has not been approved in Europe or Canada.
Maybe you should do a video on the thermobaric bomb (also called a vacuum or aerosol bomb - or fuel air explosive). They seem pretty interesting and unique.
He did. MOAB massive ordnance air burst
Or mother of all bombs
I grew up in the US so I really don’t know much about this. Very interesting ironic this was going on while the Balkan wars were happening.
Great video! The West should have given serious support to the Chechens
Not worth it.
The Chechens aren't part of Western civilisation nor do they want to be, they're part of Islamic civilisation. As far as I'm concerned that's something that should be held at an arms length (unless of course you are Muslim in which case idk go ahead I guess)
they did for several years. but after 911, bush stopped support to all jihadist movements and chechnya collapsed soon after that
@@soheil527 frankly in my opinion giving any kind of armed support to a resistance that has Jihad in or around the title should NOT happen
bullshit video. go read western independent sources first
this 911 was inside job is blatant lies and conspircy
for 30 years there were terrorist bombing every single month. every single month. every single month.
do the math while crying about just 1 attack.
your chechens bombed marathon in boston or was it also pukins little green men?
@@soheil527 There were also tons of reports that US troops were fighting Chechen volunteers in the mountains of Afghanistan. Whenever US troops met fierce resistance and skilled fighters they presumed Chechens were present. This phenomenom was investigated, and almost no Chechens ever traveled to Afghanistan to fight - it was entirely mythology with a helping hand from the FSB corroborating fake reports to help plant the seed of distrust.
Something about watching Simon advertise products 🤣🤣🤣
Yep. The Russians have ALWAYS been horrible. This war is a perfect example of the kind of "person" Putzin has always been. So when you hear someone saying "not all Russians are bad" keep in mind that they, either flatly or by indifference, have supported Putzin since 2000.
so what you are go do with them now?
build camps to teach them concentration?
what's your final solution?
pukin will lose soon, waht are you gonna do?
Facts
meh, the second war was inevitable and it wasn't a mistake or CRIME lol. We had an isis-like region full of wahhabites, radical muslims, bands, etc. Ask every inhabitant from Dagestan, Osetia or Georgia about Chechnya at the late 90's, they will answer you that it was a horrible place.
So the second war wasn't like the first (that war was a crime). I hate Putin, but also I hate misinterpretation of facts.
Maybe if Russia did not assassinate Dudaev Chechnya would not go full on ISIS
Russia didn’t did anything that US/UK/Israel/France didn’t do before, stop eating dehumanising propaganda
The colourful and happy advert intro into the subject matter is rather jarring 🤣🤣🤣
Wow. This is a really in-depth analysis. Great job!
it's bullshit flat earth 911 inside job conspirology
none of this qanon bullshit is true
the state was ruined and pukin was nobody
terrorists were bombing russia for 30 years every single month
and investigation showed every single detail with separate investigations from usa
Now search Groznyphile here on TH-cam (extensive brutal footage)

What would be USA's reaction if Texas or California declare self independence?
Texas and California are ethnically American.
Not comparable. They have no legal right to declare themselves indipendent. Bosnias call for indipendence was as legal as chechnyas.
When we consider the fact that the mountain republic was subject forced to unwillingly join the ussr in 1922.
. In their message of 3 December 1917 “To all the Working Moslems of Russia and of the East”, V.I. Lenin, the Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars, and J.V. Stalin, People’s Commissar for Nationalities, condemned Western imperialism, recognized the independence of the national institutions of the Chechens, and of other nations which had fallen under the Russian empire, yet maintained the word “Russia” in order to inherit the Russian Empire, as will appear from the USSR constitution of 1923.
68. The said message of 3 December 1917 was concluded by stating:
“Comrades, brothers, we are advancing towards an honest, democratic peace firmly and resolutely.
On our banners we bring liberation to the oppressed peoples of the world
Moslems of Russia!
Moslems of the East!
On this road towards a renewal of the world we await your sympathy and support (emphasis are added).”
69. This bears a clear recognition of the right of Chechnya to restore and maintain its independence front the Russian empire. The recognition of the independence of the Muslims of Chechnya is made here on the same level as that of the Muslims in other countries of the East, such as Turkey, Iran, etc.
70. As mentioned above, the promised honest democratic peace and liberation of the oppressed peoples were ignored, as the Red Army invaded Chechnya in 1921-1922.
(In the period 1918-1922)
The confirmation of the independence under the first constitution of the RSFSR
71. The first constitution of the Russian Socialist Federated Soviet Republic (RSFSR) was adopted on 10 July 1918. Since this constitution was in force when Chechnya was occupied by the Red Army in 1921-1922, its provisions are applicable as the basic law of the occupying power.
72. This constitution affirmed under article 2 that: “The Russian Soviet Republic is established on the basis of a free union of free nations, as a federation of national Soviet Republics”. This article defines the RSFSR as a federation of various distinguishable “nations” having the international legal form of “republics” arid governed by representative bodies, “Soviets”.
73. The constitution affirmed the freedom to join the union by stating in Article 8:
“At the same time, striving to bring about the really free and voluntary, and, therefore, the complete and lasting union of’ the working classes of all the various nationalities of Russia, the Third all Russian Congress of Soviets confines itself to formulating the main principles of the Federation of the Soviet Republics of Russia, leaving to the workers and peasants of each nationality the right to decide freely, at their own national Congress of Soviets, whether they desire, and upon what basis they desire, to participate in the federal Government and in other federal Soviet institutions,” (emphasis added).
74. This is an affirmation of the sovereignty and independence of the republics constituting the federation, including Chechnya. It is an arrangement to unite to reach certain goals, rather than “one country” organizing itself in a federal form. The reason of this arrangement is recognized in the constitution the various nationalities uniting together to reach their common goals It is in fact a regional organization or a small regional “United Nations”.
75. Moreover, this affirmation of free will and independence, itself negates freedom by stating that the free decision must be exercised by the national Congress of Soviets, and not by a freely established representative body.
76. The subsequent question is whether the constitution envisaged secession. In fact, in its Article 49e it did deal with the “admittance” to and the “severance” from the union as falling within the competence of the All-Russian Congress of Soviets and the All-Russian Central Committee. It stipulates: “The admittance of new members into the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic, and the recognition of the severance of those parts which have left the Russian Federation.” (emphasis added)
77. Firstly, Chechnya did not join freely but was occupied by the Red Army in 1921-1922 after it had regained its independence by the fall of the Russian empire, This means that, legally, it never formed a part of the RSFSR of 1918-1922.
78. Secondly, if Chechnya would have united freely it would have had the status of a sovereign independent nation and a “union republic” uniting with other nations and having the right to leave the RSFSR union.
79. If Chechnya would be considered to have been part the FSRR (Federation of the Soviet Republics of Russia) which emerged in 1918, Chechnya would nave been entitled to free association and free secession.
80. But Chechnya did not join freely and was prevented from secession In fact, the Czar empire was revived under a new form called “All-Russian Central Executive Committee”.
81. Front the outset, a dictatorship emerged calling itself the dictatorship of the proletariat or the working people, while the communist party assuming this kind of dictatorship was and remained a minority.
82. That committee decreed on 20 January 1920 to annex Chechnya and Ingushetia under the Gorskaya Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic of the RSFSR. The Red Army carried out the new imperial decision by annexing Chechnya by force in 1921-1922.
83. On 20 November 1922, Chechnya was separated from Gorskaya ASSR and made an Autonomous Region under the RSFSR.
84. Since Chechnya was forced to be part of the RSFSR, its legal status can only be qualified as an obstructed independent sovereign nation and an obstructed state under international law.
Why do you ask stupid questions instead of illustrating a point yourself? Tell us the answer to your own question.
Chechnya legally seceded from the USSR. And it is impossible to compare the USA and the Russian Federation. The Russian Federation is a failed-state with corruption and dictatorship, where people have practically no rights.
And there are a lot of people who would like to join the United States, even to join NATO there are a lot of restrictions.
Yo, a lot of this sounds familiar. Like Iraq, maybe?
True. Iraq comittes horribel warcrimes in Iran and in its Terror against the kurds. Even used Gas on them
It does. Not argue in that. It is just how war is this days.
West on Kosovo - Self-determination is more important.
West on Donbas, Crimea, Catalonia, Scotland, Syria, etc. - State unity is more important!
Stop being openly hypocritical. World is watching and will act accordingly!!!
Samir al suawelim aka Emir khattab-the Legend of chechen wars
Imagine being a russian and putin tells everyone he is anti corruption 😂then steals every bit of money that was supposed to go towards their military
Chechnya was never really independent and it is insulting that Countries call them refugees.
Wrong.
It is wildly hilarious that "classic moves from the russian playbook" 20 years ago are now accepted practice in the Ukraine war.
To be fair their strategy hasn’t really changed much since WWII. It’s very much a total war mentality. If they could, I’m sure they would be even more unhinged in Ukraine.
@@MrWompz I mean more in terms of Ukraine doing the exact same thing as to what Simon was talking about.
@@thelordofcringe How so? At what point did Ukraine destroy entire cities?
@@angrydoggy9170 That's not what Simon was talking about when he said that, did you even watch the video or are you just trolling the comment section to fight a cyberwar over the honor of the most corrupt nation in europe being invaded by the only more corrupt ethnically european country in the world?
Hahaha, “neutral perspective” you’ve got to be kidding me. When it comes to Russian conflicts you wouldn’t know “neutral perspective” if it died in your bed Simon
Yeah can’t really invade your own sovereign territory
Sure you can.
Yeah you can
It was not legally their own sovereign terretory.
Factually still an invasion even if.
@@Ц1ечой95 what treaty states Chechnya is a sovereign independent territory? From my understanding none
@@jeylonblake3407 The fact is that Chechnya seceded from the USSR according to the Constitution of the USSR even before the creation of the Russian Federation. And Chechnya did not sign a federal treaty with Moscow, as other republics did. so by all laws, Russia occupied Chechnya. Don't you dare lie.
