Why the Soviet Coup Failed
ฝัง

- In August of 1991, Soviet Party hardliners, members of the military, and KGB agents attempted a secret coup to overthrow the sitting Russian government in order to prevent the collapse of the Soviet Union. Due to several blunders and shots of vodka the coup planners failed miserably and were arrested. This final failure of communism in Russia helped the already snowballing effect of of the dissolution of the USSR into the Russian Federation we see today.

lol
they just had to wait a few years and Putin would have returned it in all but name and flag lol
It appears similar, but it is more akin to Tzars of the Russian Empire. With the USSR was governed by a large "committee"
@@renaissanceredneck3695 putin doesn't rule alone, lol. He doesn't even have a successor.
Putin doesn't want a return to the Soviet Union. He wants a return to Tsarist Nationalist Russia. He quite enjoys the spoils of psuedo-capitalism.
@@VieneLeaprime minister?
@@renaissanceredneck3695no ruler rules alone.
Engaging with video so Justin doesn't go back to the basement.
Cappy doesn’t believe in dehumidifiers it gets a little steamy down there

Justin did a great job covering this interesting topic.
Whoa good to see Justin back. The most sardonic (in a good way) officer in the US Army.
Problem was, that central authority and repression was the only thing holding the thing together. Lose those and the dominos fall

Decent and interesting story. It takes time to develop a style for public consumption that is both entertaining and provocative. It is with this in mind that for most of the episode you spoke with a monotone that lead me to think that you were reading an ingredient list. A personal perspective with your own sense of humor interlaced within the information given will allow for others to find what you offer in the basement. If that makes sense.
Possible videos. Your thoughts on the performance and usage of the Bradley in Ukraine (if i recall that's your area of expertise M-2).
The way drone proliferation is impacting warfare.
Historical events that directly lead to current world events. For perspective my Joes always used to ask me: why are we here? why are we doing this? something along the lines of answering those questions. While im retired I know a few people who are still in and they use videos like yous the main channel to explain things to the young Soldiers and Marines.
Curious on sources for this because I'm really interested in what Gorbachev and the KGB said to each other 😂
Allegedly Gorbachev pretended to forget the names of the agents that went to arrest him to make them feel less important.
A history of the Russian Wars in Chechnya
Am I the only one worried about how yellow his hands are?
Hey I dig it. although something feels a bit.. different..
🍿
Is this a permanent host ? Or cappy no doing this one anymore ?
Wtf... 😂😂😂
We don’t like your videos, back in the basement you go! 👇🏼 J/K…you’re welcome to stay for juice n cookies. Excellent video topic, it scratches the surface of how dysfunctional the Soviet Union, later Russia was at the time.
Who is this guy where did he come from or did I miss something was he introduced ??
Can you do a video covering the history of modern (post WW2) development of Marine Corps training methodology and culture like the high and tight "mohawks" etc?
How quickly they fell back into despotism. 😞
They didn't know anything else.
Despite of all good things came with dessolution of the USSR and the capitalism take over, there are great number of people left hanging in the air (I'd say a full generation born in 60s). Their profession, knowledge , even their money are not needed now. Not everyone is ready to live in time of so called "Primitive accumulation of capital" (A huge number of lifes was lost due to hunger, criminal activities and such) , and the most who survided got a huge PTSD, left with hate against the idea of capitlism. So now, you got a new leader, for whom the biggest geopolitic tragedy is the end of the USSR, and 15-30% of the nation is not happy about "money talks" life principle... what's gonna happend?
Its Russia, everything is wrong
👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇦🇺🇦
In retrospect if the soviets succeeded the Russian people would've avoided the dark ages of the 90s and yeltsin's incompetence. could've also avoided turning into a billionaire oligarchy had they followed China's slower paced economic liberalization
Unfortunately it's Russia......
"China's liberization"?
I doubt it very seriously. Had the Soviets regained power, I think you would have seen an extremely brutal crackdown that might have even put Stalin to shame.
And I say this because the Russian people, in addition to the outlying republics and countries, we're getting a little taste of freedom and self-determination. And they weren't likely to willingly let go of that.
Either way, you still almost certainly would have had the collapse of the Soviet Union within 10 to 15 years. And I think that that happened we wouldn't have had them go out with a whimper. Instead, it might very well have been a very big bang that Drew other countries into it.
In all honesty, the way it happened was probably the best possible scenario given the setup that could have happened for the Russian people, let alone the rest of the world

AND THE SOVIET UNION WAS NO MORE. HA! As it should be.
hey!
