I'm only about 25 minutes into the film but i hope there will be some discussion of how the US helped fund Soviet industrialization during the 20s and 30s.
At least one Fed enriched banker in NYC during the Confederate free traitor globalist Wilson administration sent Trotsky back to Czarist Russia to foment Bolshevik terror.
I was born in the USSR, in Azerbaijan SSR city of Baku. My family moved north to the Northern Caucasus in ‘87 becoming a Russian citizen in ‘91. Moved to US in ‘96 and now I’m a Russian American citizen 1st generation! It’s kinda scary to see this country slowly turning into my old one. Hope The Don can turn it around and make America Great Again!

Last time he was in Office he added $10.2 trillion to the debt, $7.8 trillion through spending and $2.4 trillion by giving billionaires tax breaks.
it's fascinating to hear about your journey from the USSR to the U.S.! When you say it feels like this country is slowly turning into your old one, could you share more about what specific changes or similarities you've noticed? Your unique perspective as someone who's lived through both systems would be really interesting to hear!

Because it’s pushed by academic professors that have never lived in the real world and never had to use the capitalist system to advance their life or career. It’s advantageous for them to push socialism because if they had to live in the real world and had to deal with life outside of a classroom they would abandon it very quickly. Socialism sounds like an ideal way to go on paper. In reality it’s the most corrupted. But academics in colleges don’t live in the real world, they live in a fantasy world of theories and ideas. And when that’s pushed on dumb kids that don’t know any better they soak it up like a sponge. It’s blind leading the blind in a way. Sorry for the long winded answer but it’s pretty simple concept of how it is popular. That’s why you rarely see socialists that are middle aged or older. They realize how corrupt and evil of a system it is. I think more children should read the book “animal farm”. I read it in 8th grade and watched the movie and it shows the problems with it. But like most things in this world. If it doesn’t confirm the ideas they already have they won’t research it.
@@Cenotaur1 You're partly right, they are diametrically opposed but Fascism wasn't started "specifically" to fight against bolshevism. It was able to rise to power due to the fear of communism in Italy and later in Germany.
Everyone mentions this unlimited manpower. Before saying this compare the population of Germany+ Austria+ Hungary+Italy + Romania vs Soviet Union. This stupid term is kept using today. Come'n . Russian population is about 130+ mln , does not grow, a lot of old people and high death rate. US population is 300+mln and growing . Europe : Germany - 80, France - 60+, UK + 70, Poland - 30+ .
@@sergeilyubski852 No, there is a distinction between native Russian territories and 'satellite states' actually. Wider Soviet Empire does not have the same unifying force. It's like saying Roman Empire is the same as Italy, or the entire British Empire was 'British'. No, no, and obviously no.
The bloody history of the US pales in comparison to the bloodshed of even a decade of the USSR. There you'd seem some 40+ million dead in a decade while throughout the entirety of the US history of development you'd have less than half that in conquering the whole territory. Sooo you're idea of a bloody history for the US is more just you feeding off your own propaganda for a narrative that isn't real 🤷🏾♂️
Well , the USA and USSR at least share that in common. Both sent troops into other regions pointed guns at people's heads and said " we are one big happy family....a Union " 😅
I don’t know why Russians think we want there country I’ve never been above the 40th it is far too cold the only people who would want to go there are Eskimos 😂

On the referendum of 17 march 1991 majority of the Soviets, more than 70 % actually voted to keep the ussr.
Gorbachev acted against the will of the people and committed treason according to the constitution of the ussr.

The greatest irony of WW2 is that former waffen SS volunteers fought in Korea and Indochina against communism
Nazis generally had Anticommunist stance
Uhm...they are diametrically opposed.

It wasn't just Russia , it was 12 conutries together.....the active personnel was 32 million..........largest personnel humanity has ever seen.

different names of the same country.

Don't simplify. The dynasty fell and it was short period of provisional government (Feb - Oct 1917).
In Soviet Russia handguns and RPG’s are standard voting tools 😅😂😢
They lasted 69 years? Nice
So, Russia has a history of being warned about attacks against them, but not taking it seriously and then paying the price?
