Ukraine: Who supports Russia and why - expert explains

- As Putin’s war in Ukraine rages on some countries still support Russia, but why?
Last week, the United Nations General Assembly held a vote to condemn Russia’s illegal annexation of four regions in Ukraine. The resolution was supported by 143 countries but four voted against and 35 abstained.
As bombs reigned down on Ukrainian cities and killed civilians, why is it that 39 nations either still support Russia, or remain neutral in this war?
Today, our International Editor Lindsey Hilsum tells us about the countries that still back Moscow and explains whether any of them are beginning to change their minds as the war doesn’t go to plan for Putin.

The US did intervene, in Syria. They are still occupying Syrian oil fields
That's not up for discussion you see 🙂 The west can simply present one side, deliberately leaving out details can present a picture that gets accepted by the world by and large, and becomes the only narrative of any conflict. That's going to change now. The US & EU and NATO must be held accountable for the interventions and subsequent war crimes.
And Syrian farmlands: causing huge shortage in food.
Obama has been the smallpox if the middle east and North Africa: not even Carter has been so inept in foreign policy.
No they didn't, they went to occupy the oilfields after starting the war.
It was more beneficial for the Americans to have the civil war go on indefinitely.
Mỹ sẽ nói ! Tôi biết bạn ở đâu rồi nhé 😅
As a Southeast Asian, we actually don't care about the war as long as we can continue living our lives normally. Xi and Modi wants a peaceful resolution so that they can continue focusing on their economy.
Russia, Asia and Africa want and an end to thus war, so they can focus on their economies.
Boris Johnson flew to Ukraine to stop Zelenski reaching a peaceful deal with Russia, because NATO and America wanted the war to continue and weaken Russia, and USA wants to sell oil to Europe instead of Russia.
@Karemy Wasn't this the same behavior Europeans took when the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Palestine was occurring?
@@alextee2005 they only care when it’s white ppl dying.
Because Russia is Not Trying to Control the World, RUSSIA Doesn't have Mass, Shooting, Russia doesn't have Police Killing' Innocent Children and People Everyday, Russia doesn't use PetroDollar and Reserve Currency as a Global Economic Manipulation Tool, or Weapon to Keep Developing Countries poor. Russia Doesn't Abandon Allies and Friends like U.S. did in Afganistan, Russia Doesn't Encroach on American, African, or Asian Territory Like U.S NATO did.
Russia didn't Colonize , or Enslave Other People like the United States did to Africans, Native American Indians.

@@a.esquivel2434 O___o you mean there is someone that is the mastermind behind Putin's invasion to Ukraine and gives UN treaty its total disregard?

Ps... the rest of the world ... S.America/MiddleEast/Asia... exactly how do they support Russia's invasion?
Supporting Russia (the Russia before it starts its colonial empire Rebuilding) is one thing but all but 4-5 country actually supports Russia's invasion of the entire UN body.
T____T don't tell me you never saw the UN vote... or did Ru/Beijing have total control over your internet to show you a different altered result?
Most of the ASEAN does not support it and Singapore which is usually neutral like Sweden IS AGAINST IT.
It is still questionable if RU can stay as the UNSC after this war, regardless if it develops into a nuclear war.

In order to know the present you must learn the history. The US lost the Korean War and also the Vietnam war(which the US started with a bogus story), both with Chinas assistance, the aggressor was always the US coming 8000KM to fight a war on someone else’s land.
Vietnam sure, korean? it was North Korean backed by Russia who invaded first, if not for US intervention, most of Korean will become pariah state like today's north korea. as a matter of facts US manage to push north korea way to the back to china when china decided to also send troops and push back US advanced into DMZ today. so the war was South korean +US vs North Korean + Russia + China
@@pindot787 and the UN still lost despite china’s poorly equipped voluntary army. Whilst the yanks enjoyed thanksgiving and Xmas the China team caught them by surprise.
@@bricheun Lost? dude, south korea exist, the US still has military base there, plus korea is like china backyard while the US has to fly half across the globe. think about it this way, north korea has china man power and soviet equipment which was on par with the US (combined they should be able to conquered all korea) and yet its stalemate.
USA lost to Taliban in Afghanistan after fighting for 20 years. They lost in Iraq to Iran.
@@bricheun agreed Brian. This special operations from Russia make me remember with Palestine, which was invaded by Israel (with the support of us government) for more than 20 years. But the US government plus Europe did not impose sanctions on Israel?
it feels weird and not fair
Nobody talks about the illegal war in 🇮🇶 Iraq by US and UK. Where are the weapons of mass destruction?. IF America cannot tolerate Missiles in CUBA why should Russia tolerate NATO at its doorstep.
Woow very sensitive questions, well articulate.
And they still can't believe they are being lied to again.
Facts
HT lets not forget Russia has tolerated usa aggressive moves for years and years and warned that a continuation of admitting Ukraine and Georgia into Nato would trigger a war but the west constantly ignoring Russia and so they've decided to take things on their hands.
Valid points but slightly misguided, people do talk about the illegal war in Iraq, lest we not forget Iraq was an aggressor in invading Kuwait which cast the die as they became an unstable entity in a powder keg region and (ironically given the events that have unfolded) needed a regime change to protect an awful lot of the Arab countries around the region, however given regime change was not a legal mandate for war the WMD story was pedalled, but was well known they did not have any of sufficient quantity to pose a true global risk. The US could not tolerate missiles in Cuba because they were directly targeted at the US rather than being based there for generalised defence of the USSR and its allies (aggressive not passive), which at this juncture Cuba was not a Warsaw pact ally, NATO is not an aggressor as its prime function is the defence of the members. History has shown that even though the west is far from perfect it does not brutalise and slaughter dissidents, opponents, etc whereas dictatorial regimes do. What you also have to realise is that Kalingrad, parts of Finland, parts of Georgia and parts of Moldova were never parts of the Soviet Socialist republic but were taken by force however land grabs still are going on in certain parts of these regions and Russia will not cede the territory it acquired through armed conflict. Putin is trying to rewrite history so to compare what has happened with what is happening is not a true reflection on why the war started. He uses NATO as a foil to stop his own people rising up against him, but he must remember that the October revolution started when the returning conscripts saw all that was wrong with the country and demanded a change in repayment for their blood spilled on the failed battle field.
The war in Ukraine and the sanctions against Russia seems to weaken Europe for two generations or more. NATO did not adhere to the Minsk accords and stirred the pot by encroaching into Ukraine. The West needed this war and wanted this war. This might come back to bite Europe more than Russia. A very good interview none the less.

Russia had been asking for years that the Minsk agreements be adhered to and that NATO would stop its expansion as was promised. Antony Blinken stated that NATO has been training and arming Ukrainians forces in Donbass since 2014. Also since 2014 ethnic Russian citizens of Ukraine were shelled on a daily basis. In the days leading up to the SMO, the shelling became more frequent. Adhering to the Minsk agreements and curbing NATO expansion would have prevented the SMO but the absolute opposite was done.
So the SMO is justified?
The West should have done more in 2014 or before

Anyone with some knowledge and sensitivity. Also, NATO's Nazis have to be defeated in this proxy war.
Which is exactly what Russia is doing.
Lol only 8+ years? Probably more than 70+ years..
As a person from a former British colony with popular secessionist movements, I completely understand Donbass and I admire Russia for doing what needed to be done to save its own people. If Russia cast a glance inour direction we'd sing songs of Putin. All of this is because the UN has failed and is still failing to decisively deal with human rights violation petitions submitted to it.

Wouldn't Lindsey Hilsum be a fantastic PM , or government advisor ? Great interview, I have learnt so much from this knowledgeable and sensitive reporter
Better than liz truss… don’t be silly 😂
She is definitely better at Geography laughs = Lindsey is very articulate and intelligent.
She is an ignoramus- she has zero knowledge on most geopolitical issues
There's a lot of points she made that were questionable. But the main 1 being the invision of Ukraine. Where was she in 2014 when the the majority Russian speaking part of Ukraine was being bombed by Kiev after the coup? When actually they see the Russians as liberators. I'm saddened to see how we in the UK do not see any arguments or debates that are balanced about this war. Its so 1 sided that you have to ask why. Even in Parliament there isn't 1 pm that has stood up and argued the case for peace talks. People just need to stop and wonder why this is
Where was she…?
Prolly took a nap, or maybe washing the dishes.
I cant remember it was so long ago 😁
@@arel4333 or in Syria supporting isis sorry I meant rebels against Assad.
The coverage in the UK has been ludicrously one-sided
The invasion is happening on one side of a border
@@christopheradrien4643 And?
Colonialism Is not the reason.
During the cold war most African countries adopted the non-aligned movement. In a sense they won't be dictated who their friends are. Also NATO bombed libya despite AU saying no. France is still acting coloniser in West Africa. So it's not in reaction of the past transgressions but current ones
You fail to mention that Russia has been suggesting peace talks to end the conflict in Ukraine, and the West and the Ukrainians have absolutely refused to talk.
Well, why do you think Ukraine refused? Perhaps, because their very existence is on stake?
Yes, but Russia's condition is that Ukraine abdicates part of its territory. Unacceptable.
Haha are you serious? They have bizarre conditions.
The Donbas region and Crimea populations are Russian speakers the Kijiv regime bombing/killing/raping them for 8 years. Western media turned blind eye. The US supporting/training the neonazi groups in Ukraine like Azov to go on killing sprees ect. Russia rightfully took it upon themselves to take protective measures towards the Donbas populations that greeted Russians soldiers as saviours. They deserve to have their own states. No different then the UN advocated for Kosovo. The same terms and conditions. But the US controlled UN can't say a boo without the US approval. US controls the UN it's nothing new. Twisting the rules to suit themselves.

I am African, and I have come across many other Africans from different countries that wholeheartedly support and love Russia. Some on social media are bots, but from some of the people I have spoken to, I have said, "Yelling Americans have invaded other nations before, and Russia should be able to defend themselves." I am honestly very impressed by how the Ukrainians are holding up against Russia and wish them all the best. It's quite embarrassing for Russia. Stand with Ukrainians
How exactly are they defending themselves by invading Ukraine, and killing its civilians?! 🙄

A fascinating interview, especially when facts are so few and far between.
Agree she missed so many facts. From iraq war to western hostility to india on day 1 on independence. To great contribution of soviet union in rest of world’s independence and growth
The reason why Third World countries remain non-aligned in this conflict is that we have access to different media where the pro-Russian perspective is not censored. We can compare and contrast different versions of the same events, and see which ones are backed up with evidence, which ones are debunked, etc. We can see the shelling of Donetsk city, and have access to information on the atrocities committed in Mariupol by the Azov batallion. There is a broad spectrum of support from our publics for the real victims of this conflict (started in 2014 by the post-coup government), the people of Donbass resisting Ukrainian terror.
So true. Most Western countries are only showing one side of the conflict otherwise their citizens would not support the decisions their governments are making. France has shown both sides of this conflict and their citizens are protesting sanctions and the resulting high gas prices and cost of living. The media has tried hard to hide it just as they hide the truth about the Ukraine/Russia conflict but there are videos of it on the internet. The audience on Channel 4 News particularly has a hard time accepting that they have only seen one side of the conflict and become quite agitated if you point out anything that goes against their beliefs and dismiss any proof you have as non-valid.
You believe the Russian media?
Yes, am sure Pro-Russian media isn't censored and you get the absolute truth from them. Try going to Russia and calling this invasion a war and see what they do to you.
@@Corolla97ww you believe CNN nerds?
@@FayeDragon I have access to many channels of information about this conflict. The Russians are proven liars about this war.
Very informative and more balanced than anything from the other mainstream media 🙏🏽
Still wrong. Mentions nothing about the American sponsored maidon coup in 2014. Also still deluded enough to think that there's any chance Russia will lose.

Yes the other channels like BBC, SkyNews and CNN are just western propaganda at this point.
Many at the BBC could learn a lot from this style of interviewing. Especially Nikki Campbell on R5.
How would the United States react if Russia started setting up military bases in Mexico?
It's be attacked, quite simple, no question. Remember, the Monroe doctrine, it's still in use
We found out from 1962 just a presence of Russian weapons within our hemisphere equals time to get out the nukes.
About 60 years ago Russia had a few missiles in Cuba so we decided that would be a very nice time to threaten the end of the world if they didn’t take them away. We didn’t do anything nearly so diplomatic or moderated as the saying, “Please stop advancing towards our borders or we will do something to ensure our security going forwards.” Nope we went from zero to plutonium immediately.

Another good interview by Channel 4. Thank you!
Great interview, but two key points about US China not correct.
16:30 1972 US approached China because it's losing the Vietnam war. By getting China away from USSR to side with US, in 1973 US could pull their forces away from Vietnam.
17:20 China didn't want to see US as enemy. In fact with friendship building from 1972, both the government including Xi and the people have mostly seen US as a friend, despite having small differences or disputes. Yes China wants to catch up and join ranks on the world stage, but see the world big enough for friendly competition and cooperation for all countries. It was the US who suddenly turned very hostile towards China, starting from Trump era, using China as an election campaign pivot, and put China on the opposite side of everything to counter its rise. China is forced to start seeing US as a foe rather than a friend.
Ask this question to the neighbour of China,they will say China is the aggressor,India is giving importance to quad,because China wants to prove its dominance and Indian will not accept.
Nope, US counter china actually since obama era, started with banned china from ISS at 2011

Very good analysis and explanation. But what was really the cause of Russia’s special operation in Ukraine and why was not prevented? Would’ve the neutrality of Ukraine and even the Donbas independence been a better choice rather than the the current situation? Or the unproven yet the narrative that Russia would’ve invade Ukraine is more powerful? Why NATO is extending and why is not considered a threat for Russia?What America would’ve done if it was in Russia’s shoes?
Wel dan
I noticed these were barely mentioned, yet sooo obvious 🙄
Also add the fact that USA wants to replace Russia in selling oil to Europe...at twice the price.
I think you have been drawn into the narrative Russia wants you to be talking about. An easier explanation can be found simply by a thug state being pissed off nobody close wants anything Russian these days. That a comedian in a country next door sits on massive energy reserves. That Russia can steal those and show that comedian who is boss. That massive failings in Russia can be hidden by revisiting old cold war mentalities. Talks of Donbas or Nato are just the plausible excuse to their own audience.

The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend..!
This is a very good and comprehensive coverage of geopolitics, past and present. Top marks for both the interviewer and the interviewee.
HISTORY...we learn histories about the mighty Romans, the Mongols, Napoleon, and of course the British Empire. But like the common saying..."history is written by winners." Yes indeed. There are many facts, atrocities, exploitation, cruelties, etc, that never get to the ink on paper stage. And that is the kind of history that comes back to influence how we think, how we behave, and what to believe , or not to believe.
"Forget and forgive". The winners would often hope the losers would simply do just that, to forgive and forget the past when atrocities were leveled at them. But resentment merely simmers beneath the surface, and rears its head to bite.
Deny it if you may, but I believe that there is some elements of racial tone in the current geopolitical arrangements. How so? Well, think of the G7, think of NATO, the AUKUS, the QUAD, etc, who run the show? The very colonists who used to rule the world. Sadly for them, the world has moved on, and they no longer hold the whip and the megaphone. The ex-masters now are struggling to work out how to deal with the situation where their exclusivity in terms of power and technologies, is eroded. So now they wanted to carve out the world into two...one led by the US, and the other a conglomerates of nations which are "unlike-minded" of the US such as China, Russia, part of Asia, Africa, and South America.
Interesting times indeed.
Flat out myth.
There are other countries surrounding these countries and witnessing events. History is not written by winners and even in many cases the winning countries have recorded atrocities done in their names. "victory written by winners" only applies within records of own country if you live in totalitarian regime.

Oh...I got more...Did the British colonists take responsibility for the opium trades, and went as far as forcing China to accept opium, and went to war to shut the Chinese up?
I do agree with you on most of your points. The winners get to write history to suit themselves and their views. This influneces how we see the world. We never often get to know the unvarnished truth because the losers have been vanquished so their story often is not told. We have to take what we are taught about history in schools "with a grain of salt". I have learnt alot more about history since then. The US and some European countries have a tendency to still see many of its former colonies in Asia and in particular Africa as backwater countries needing their aid. Many of these countries have moved on however and have significant middle income populations and this China has recognized and is exploiting and trading has largely shifted in that direction. Many of these countries are largely ignored by western countries, they are not given a seat on any international institutions that matter, China comes closest to getting that recognition. So why would these countries want to show strong support for their former colonial masters?
Hurray!!
Someone with lots of common sense 👏👏
Well said bro!
Britain is also struggling to keep their power on world now , because the people in the world are changed! 🤣
They understood English cunning 😂🤣
People in the world are very smarter than an English now and English people are slowly realising it. But still they will show their hypocrisy.
It’s laughable. 😀
@@sushantrajput6920 England, and the British Empire, was strong and rich because of the colonies it forcibly taken. India was the one major country which gave the British a spring board to eventually become the British Empire. From India, the British Empire expanded into Africa and Asia, with China getting the worst deal in the form of opium trades.
Look up "Syria's Assad wrote to Putin over military support: statement".
No sound for me either
Why not
Ukraine is just the poor piggy in the middle.
Ukraine is not a passive participant in this conflict , it is a leading participant. It is fully in charge of its own decisions , are you seriously suggesting that if the west wasn't helping it , then Ukraine would be happy to invaded and would have accepted it ? Have you paid any attention at all , to what the Ukrainians themselves have been saying ?
Great interview learned so much thank you
Hmmm, much of the discussion was interesting how other countries feel about the conflict, but a large part of the Ukraine situation was left out. The coup in 2014 supported by the UK mi6 and US spooks to oust newly elected Ukrainian leadership friendly to Russia. The new leadership that emerged aliegned with a militant Nazi faction that is a negative force against Ukrainians of Russian heritage in the civil war conflicts for years before the Russian invasion. Also there was no mention of the lopsided vote of of the people in the eastern areas of Ukraine to join Russia and it was the UK that was instrumental in breaking down the most recent diplomacy discussions between Russia, Ukraine and western interests.
Irrelevant! That’s a logical fallacy called a whataboutism! Wikipedia says so!
Wikipedia has the same moral compass as a teacher who watches the kid get bullied all day but doesn’t do anything until he stands up for himself.
Very good and informative. Thank you!

I agree that she would make another excellent politician because I am truly amazed about how well she articulately glosses over the points of history and geopolitics, that she’d rather not discuss, because it may end up putting too bright a spotlight on Western hypocrisy... great job Lyndsay!!!
Yes that's a bit disappointing

Lindsey Hilsum has such a succinct, frighteningly clear but charming way of explaining her impressions and understanding of conflicts. As a Yank, I find her courage as a correspondent to be exemplary since the 2004 Falluja campaign, again in Rwanda and now during Ukraine's quest for survival against the thugs of Russia. Her well-earned insights are useful and accurate. I guess we'll again see her in her next assignment when we go to war with China. Be safe, clever girl.
She's amazing
You that last sentence, it makes my heart skip a beat. I often wonder how many of these rich Chinese people so deeply ingrained in the US and other Western nations are sleeper agents and are gonna get us, from such a strategically placed position, it would be the worse. Living here with a secret deep hate waiting...yea I think about that and not just Chinese we've let all our enemies in. We are sitting ducks💔
Abiy is not a human right abuser. He is fighting Tplf, a notorious gang operating in the country for nearly sixty years. In my opinion, the interviewee could say the exact reason for Abiy to engage in the fighting. The national defense force was bulldozed by the rebel in midnight while they were sleeping. Which of the country in the world would tolerate such an attrocity? Probably none.
I can't hear anything
NATO is trouble, yet the comedic president want to bring it in😅

At the end of WW2, germany was divided by the victorious allies. it's not 19th century history, it's been going on forever.
They never learn from their past thats their problem.
....it is not about Russia trying to recolonize Ukraine. Simply put, NATO and the US wanted to expand to the East through Ukraine, not abiding by the Minsk Accords
This is a complete lie and reported as such...
reminds me of old conversations on CSPAN
No sound, what's up with that
How rare it has become to hear a neutral evaluation...
This is not a neutral evaluation! She is heavily loaded on the side of NATO.
Watch Ukraine on Fire by Oliver Stone and Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins. Find out the truth.
@@yassebutt2838 Thank you, I will watch them!
Well, it's all relative. In the midst of all the propaganda that is thrown at us, this was refreshing for me to hear.
I would recommend Jacques Baud, a Swiss expert. Very thorough evaluations.
At what point does she put any blame on the West for the catastrophe in Ukraine? This is a very one sided view point being dressed up as impartial, classic propaganda
Excellent analysis.
People are dying, the family's tragedies are out of the scale and we debate for geopolitics and inflation. The Human civilization was never been so degradated in the known history 😪
Who paid the price with the deaths of Iraqi civilians, Libya, Syria and Vietnamese?
May be but you allow one nation to annex another it’s a precedence. It gives a green light for little countries to be invaded.
You mean like the US in Iraq or Libya...
You mean like Serbia , Libya , Palestine , Iraq, Yemen , Vietnam, Nicaragua , Syria etc? If america can tolerate missiles in Cuba , Russia won't accept missiles in Ukraine either
We should annex Mexico, clearly they want to be American
Putin knew he would have alternative markets and at the very least a lot neutral friends who wouldn’t be bent by the west. Russia is still a major power militarily(largest nuclear power) despite the setbacks, major energy power with a heavy hand in OPEC, and no matter what Western media says, the backing of China whos a counterweight to the US. The Russians were pretty well balanced and that’s why the west got it all wrong believing that they could sanction Russia into leaving Ukraine.
I think that Russia is definitely not going to leave Ukraine as a loser, or at least in a bad way. Because the Russian society is very easy to unite during the external negative impact. At the moment, almost 90% of opposition opinion leaders have left Russia, some of them have criminal cases in court. Russia's problem is that a democratic change of government, say, every 4 years would not lead to anything good. Because Russia is the largest country in the world, and in order to effectively carry out large-scale reforms and changes, one presidential term is not enough. Imagine how well the special services must work to eliminate all drug trafficking, prevent terrorist attacks and etc.
Great interview! what an intelligent woman, interesting to listen to
What a world we live in ay

First time I have come across Lindsey Hilsum. Honestly one of the (if not the) best journalists (in the world) on the subject of geopolitics I have experienced. Her ability to Analyse the situation at the global/UN level and dive deep into the history and current politics of any country (it seems) is impressive. I feel she has just saved me hours upon hours of research to try and understand the recent UN vote with this brief interview! Thank you

Hands down Lindsey is top 3 EVER
Brits had some exceptional minds & they were exception. Good observation but narrowminded understanding of Eastern social vs Western individualistic (divide & rule).
at last some one who knows the real situation of what happening in Ukraine.
Not even one mention of the maidan coup and no mention of Ukraine bombing its own people in the donbas regions for the last 8 years 🤔 🙄 and no mention of the Minsk agreements. Very strange 🤔 this is British propaganda as per-usual. Trust me I'm an Irish man, we know British propaganda when we see it
Patrick Lancaster
She didn't go far enough though 😕
It happens on the world stage, in domestic politics, local government and yes - even in families. It is the principle of "Buying Loyalty" or BL. It is not loyalty obtained by integrity, but a filthy brand of loyalty procured through bribery disguised as "assistance". The wise see through it clearly but the simple-minded take the bait.
Thank you for such an interesting conversation.
I really hope she's a government diploma cause she's absolutely amazing 😍
All I can say about wanting to put Russia back a generation or two, is that's what happened at the end of WWI with Germany. Put them back a generation or two and then they rose up even more powerful than before. Have to be very careful how you do that.
So did Japan but both nations have done so without a continued path of aggression. Would there be hope that Russia, if set back, could come back stronger and better than before? Economic success might be the centre of it.

Hitlerism was a result of the wall street crash and longstanding antisemitism in europe. Until then, the weimar Republic was stable.
Both Japan and Germany are successful economically, however both were essentially demilitarised.
Russia, though poorer economically, is less likely to demilitarise...
Look what happened to Libya, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, Somalia, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Yemen...and many more.
All countries with resources America wants, but not the military to protect itself.

If we don't support Ukraine , then it will be the Baltics next , Putin said that the breakup of the USSR was one of the greatest tragedies in Russian history.
Putin does not want the Baltics.
He also said that trying to recreate it would be one of the stupidest things in history. But hey, let’s not get that in the way of your propaganda.
@@MayThaiMayThai hahaha
Facts! 👍
Why no condemnation of Israel. The Palistine population is being devastated every day. But condemnation for the Russian general?
Very interesting.
Countries supports Ukraine to intimidate Russia. But west gets down fall not Russia. 😆😁😂
Many countries have some % of their populations that are native to an adjoining country. Based on the Russian current model (similar to Germany in the 1930’s), any county is authorized to invade and incorporate a portion of their adjoining neighbor that contains that %.
With respect to Saudi Arabia, they have only one resource; oil. When it is gone, they are done. So, they need to obtain as much $ for the oil as possible. Why should they produce more of their only finite resource at a lower price?
All that money goes to the royal family. There are still beheadings and stonings in that country. Totally backward.
J'ai hâte que la France libère le Québec! Ça commence à être long 😒
Yeah for the west to have announced their intention to stop using oil and then be surprised that the price is going up and the supply is going down is absolutely moronic.
Saudi and other oil producers will carry on using oil and have the benefits that easy production of energy provides whilst the west struggles to create and maintain a reliable green energy source.
Russias leverage on your %s is to "motivate" Russian speakers to migrate then to protect those Russians.
@@howardsimpson489 That has what to do with the Saudi's and their genocide they've commited over the past decade how?
The world hasn't given two shits about the million + lives that have been lost in that genocide, or In the Turkey/Syeria war, or any of the wars in Africa ......... but we give 10,000 shtits about 10 lives lost in Ukraine.
I mostly do agree with her explanation, it makes very contentious arguments
I think you have a good insight on the matter, what I think we should do is to encourage Europe and America to work with the United Nations to seek an alternative to the cataclysmic effect of the expansionist war between Ukraine and Russia through diplomacy and dialogue. Brave and bright people like you should be able to speak out against the war.
