    13:14 You mention the April 2008 Bucharest Summit, where it was stated that Georgia and Ukraine will become future members of NATO; and Russia's negative reaction. You omit to mention the 2008 Georgian War that followed that summer - quite an important event and a foreshadowing of what might happen to Ukraine. Russia could not countenance Crimea (especially) becoming part of NATO.

      You must have heard of it - the February 1948 - communist coup that established totalitarianism. The Czechia (Czechoslovakia) has ceased to be a Western country. However, what is new about the video is that Russia has called on Ukraine to be neutral (2022).

      @@smorcrux426 Yes, Czechoslovakia was democratic before the war, and in a short episode after it. It can be said that the last democratic elections were used by the Communists as well as Hitler in pre-war Germany. By 1989, the elections were no longer free (I experienced that). The communist coup averted the Russian occupation, which did not occur until 1968. The Soviet Union feared that a democratic establishment was forming in Czechoslovakia. Under the pretext of cleansing from Western collaborators and the resistance, there was an invasion led by a Russian general, whose statue was recently removed from Prague. That is why the map of Czechoslovakia in the post-war years is in a different color - we could not be part of the Soviet military pact that attacked us. Austria was lucky in the disaster - the Soviet Union commanded it to disarm and neutrality. Austrian citizens liked the neutrality so much that they incorporated it into the constitution in the 1990s.

    It'd have been relevant to mention the Georgian War resulting in Georgia not being accepted, as well as the fact that Russia's demands to Ukraine far exceeded just not joining NATO, and the fact that the West did respond to Russia's request by saying that while Russia couldn't dictate which countries could join a defensive alliance, there were no plans to accept Ukraine at this time.

      @@abuzarAQ3 I'll add 3 things to what Cochet said:
      1) Finland's military equipment and command structure is much more "interoperable" with NATO forces than Ukraine (even during the Cold War, Finland relied on military equipment that was either Western, or designed to be sold to Western countries, such as certain Swedish weaponry. On the other hand, Ukraine was part of the USSR and used exclusively Soviet equipment. It takes time to transition to Western arms, or modify existing ones to work well with Western equipment - not to mention modernizing everything so it doesn't become obsolete)
      2) A big part of the reason why some NATO nations didn't want Ukraine to join was because they were trying to prevent a war with Russia. Now that Ukraine (but not NATO) *has* an all-out war with Russia, which they may actually win (with NATO support - even without direct NATO intervention) the situation has changed. When this war is over, NATO nations will likely try to fast-track the entry of whatever's left of the Ukraine into the Alliance.
      3) Finland hasn't been seriously considering membership quite as long as Ukraine, and has only jumped on board *after* this war started. If they had tried earlier, they likely would've been rejected for the same reasons that the Ukraine has been stalled. Finland and Sweden were rather committed to neutrality until recently. It was only in 2014 that a bare majority (or plurality - I forgot which) supported NATO membership - and that was only according to polls, not an actual vote. Because of the war, membership is much more popular in Sweden and Finland. There probably was never a time when Finland would be allowed to join and the Ukraine would not be allowed to join. It's sort of an "apples-to-oranges" comparison.

    • @jeffbenton6183
      @jeffbenton6183 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @@abuzarAQ3 I should add one more thing about why Ukrainian membership in NATO would be more offensive to Russia than Finish membership: their shared history. Finland has not been a part of Russia since the end of World War I, whereas the Ukraine has only been fully independent for 30 years. That didn't stop the Baltic states from joining NATO, which are also former members of the USSR, but the Ukrainians are also much more ethnically similar to the Russians than the Finns, Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians (especially the Finns). The Muscovite Rus actually branched off *from* the Kievan Rus during the Middle Ages, there's a sense in Russia that they're basically One People (there's even an English word that academics use to refer collectively to the Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians - "Ruthenian")
      EDIT: I should add the Peter the Great was called "Emperor of *All* the Russias," by which was meant the Ruthenian countries. My understanding is that each of the czars who succeeded him, up until the Revolution inherited that title.
