I want to make sure I have this guy's story straight: He started in Ukraine by providing IFAKs and medical training to Ukrainians, he then went on to become light infantry in the conflict but left to Poland and became a drone operator. After returning to Ukraine he was a drone operator in the legion but ended up resigning his post after some disagreement with the command. After resigning, while other issues were going on with his life like his relationship breaking up, and other family issues he got drunk and decided to text an enemy combatant about an alleged war crime he committed, which he didn't really commit, to make the enemy combatant upset. Some journalists came asking him about his alleged warcrimes and eventually turned the thing into a hit piece and also there was a coordinated propaganda effort with deep-fakes of him saying inflammatory things. In response to all this negative attention his friends in the legion stopped communicating with him because they believed he was actively helping the Russians. Is that correct? Look, I'll be the first to say I am not fit for war, that I would crap myself and cry in real combat, but this dude's story is wild. He has a lot of excuses for everything, which I feel is worse than anything else. He left for the first time for an excuse, he left for the second time for an excuse, he made up that warcrime story being drunk as an excuse, the journalists that interviewed him were "leftists pro-russians" is another excuse. This guy is probably hated because he went over there, gave the enemy a prime propaganda piece and all he has are excuses. I think Willy was trying to be too agreeable with his point about "we all do dumb things and wouldn't you want to crap-talk the enemy," this dude was no longer in the Ukrainian military and claiming he was committing warcrimes under their flag. You really should have needled him on all his excuses especially about what he wrote to the enemy combatant.

a huge and important thing that you said might go unnoticed. "Everyone has committed crimes since 2014. For example, Odessa is a crime and I don't think the perpetrators have been prosecuted...." Imagine if you are pro-Russian and some idiots commit such crimes and the state does not react or relativizes them. It is no longer the crime of a melee group of neo-Nazis that every country has. That is state policy in its bare form.
Both the OSCE and the International Court of Justice have investigated and firmly rejected Russia's accussation of genocide being perpetrated by Ukraine on ethnic russians. Violent separatist militias forcefully occupying civic and government buildings can expect some violence in return, fair game.
They at least tried to be. That’s within jihadists knowing the rules of engagement very well, and have no problem using women and kids as shields. What other countries drop leaflets in areas and cites saying they gonna hit hard so if you are a civilian.. leave.

When I was in ukraine in 2020, they passed laws designed to limit the use of russian language throughout ukraine. My russian teachers in odessa were shocked that they weren't technically allowed to use their native language when speaking to a waiter in a restaurant. And businesses were prohibited from using russian on signs or in advertising. The same thing was happening in latvia when I was there in 2018. Maybe it doesn't justify an invasion, but when people ignore this they are missing the whole picture. Russophobia is a real thing even if it sounds silly.

Im the 1000th comment. So let an actual guy that was in war as kid chime in. I was born in Nova Gradiska, Croatia, right on the border to Bosnia. 91-96 We had many foreign fighters come "help". On both sides. So they got 1000, we got 1000 and in the middle were my family, friends. My Mom and Grandmother, I was a kid. And after a while we realised these people just want to get their kick. Some even went home on Sunday evening to Austria etc. to work from Mo-Fr. We called them weekend soldiers. They didn't give a sh*t about who they fight, civilians. They screamed in joy when civilians died when they tortured POWs etc. (This scream when US soldiers see a bomb explode). When our military realized they are having fun here and were also stealing, murdering civilians, raping, our army didn't let them go home no more. We used them as attack groups were it was exceedingly difficult. We made use of them. And they were great fertilizer for our trees to grow. Thank you nameless adrenaline junky.
Hey Willy I went down a TH-cam rabbit hole last night watching your videos from the start of the war and I just want to say I hope you understand how important the work you did and continue to do really is. I mean like when future generations learn about this war (especially the beginning) you and civ div are gonna be primary sources for historians for God knows how long when trying to get an idea of the situation on the ground for the regular person and that's a hell of a legacy to leave for the future. You're awesome man, thank you.
less than 3:30 in and Willie mentions people supporting Ukraine fighting for their democracy... what democracy would that be exactly??? Can't handle that level of willful ignorance... I tried to listen, but...
I am just wondering why all these foreign people are going to Ukraine and fight there. Ok I understand Ukraine is the underdog, Ukraine is a sovereign country and have been attacked. But why these people are not fighting for Iraq, Yemen, Lybia, Serbia, Syria. Also these countries are sovereign countries and all of these wars have not been backed up by any international right.
Those were religious/sectarian conflicts. Ukraine is literally Europe being attacked by people who identify themselves as descendants of Mongol-Tatars. A sh*tload of people went to fight ISIS alongside the Kurds. Your point is flawed af

@@JP-vb5cx this guy is clearly white supremacists and a Nazi. Ukrainian Nazis have an ideology that they are pure white race, and Russians are so called "orcs" because they mixed between Slavs, mongols during golden horde, turkofonic people like Chechens and Dagestani, Chinese in the far east and dozens of natives from Siberia like burjati and jakutian and many others.
Does the US have interest in letting this war drag on as long as possible? That would explain the half ass assistance it is giving Ukraine, enough for Ukraine to resist and carry on fighting, insufficient for it to achieve a decisive victory and end the war quickly. The longer the war lasts, the more devastating it is for the Russian economy and military, never mind the destruction it causes to Ukraine.
@@aliennoviny Ukraine Nazis killed far more children than that. 15,000 unarmed civilians in Donbass murdered. Logic tells me out of 15,000, at least 1 out of 5 was a child making a low ball figure of 3000 kids killed by Ukraine's armed forces before Russia ever crossed the Ukraine border
@@aliennoviny was there thousands of passengers on that plane? Of coarse not for no plane can transport anymore than 300 at the most.

This guy is such an apologist. It's hard to get past the impression that he's a straight up propagandist. I lost count of how many times he said "but the Russians did it too" and " but it happens on both sides." Most of your guests are what they appear to be-not this guy. You're doing a great job guy; keep up the good work; and best of luck with the health situation.
From the 13th minute you say that Russia is not diverse in terms of nations... But you probably didn't know that 180 nationalities live there, each with its own language and customs. In what country is there such diversity? Probably only in the U.S. and that's because it's a country of migrants.
Man telling a random dude online that you slit a guys tendons and pushed them in a river is like the dumbest thing you can do especially if you meant it as a joke/didn't do it......
@@yam2050 Really? You've done something more stupid than slitting a guys tendons, and pushing him into a river while drunk? A very oddly specific story.
It is very ignorant to say that Russia is less diverse than Australia! Educate yourself, sir. Russia is racist, fascist and all this, but it is insanely diverse and has had millions of migrants from Asia before war. Russia had more migrants that the US before the war.
Funny to hear Americans talk about indiscriminate firing into civilian populations like Dresden wasn’t fire bombed in World War Two with civilians literally melting into the pavement
Yep, some peoplen doing those just to bozer russians with theyrs stupid "cult of victory". Many russians when they see some german tatoos freeking out. But When i was in Russia in 2015 i also saw alot of right wing russians in Moscow with german eagles and zig runes. As i know even in US you have a bunch of those.
The problem with the Ukraine war as it's not even about Ukraine they're just centre-stage to a huge geopolitical play that's going on worldwide many ukrainians and Russians are caught up and dine for propaganda purposes. In my opinion the Ukraine war is not about Ukraine at all but rather it's about the current geopolitical and cultural war going on around the world.
this guys story is crazy..bat shit crazy. like hand manufactured ifaks crazy. i believe like 25% of his story. but i guess ya never know till your in someone else shoes..i just hope willy is doing some vetting on these guys.
"this war is not like tik tok" "well this war is on social media so we basically are seeing how it is" ....willy who da fuck is this guy. AI deepfakes of him giving russia there perfect propoganda...like honestly this guy should fuck off....i get we dont see eye to eye..but this is eye to asshole.
Let me see. After serving in the Ukrainian foreign legion during a serious war, this guy gets drunk, runs his mouth with strangers, makes preposterous gay-taunts against foreign country, confides in journalists who he can only be half-arsed to identify, and wonders why things turn out badly for him. Not a very high-watt bulb IMHO.
@@helenemasour9256 He seems like a guy who likes to embellish his stories. I don't know the guy but that's my impression. The fact that he would fabricate a war heinous crime simply to get a rise from some foreigner shows how strikingly bad his judgement and impulse control are. He says the crime is not true, and I want to believe him. But who knows what to believe when it comes from a guy who talks like this.
All wars won and lost with logistics... That s a correct statement but, fog of war and media bias is so heavy at Ukraine that we actually have no idea whats going on at the war. Which side has better logistics now ? i have no idea... What are the casualty numbers ? i have no idea...
There's this interview on a channel called Azeal titled: "This Marine fought Russians in Ukraine". It's an eye opening experience about the reality of war. He goes into detail about his first kill as well as how he and his friend pissed themselves during an artillery barrage(he has never seen active combat prior to Ukraine).
it's just ticking in my ears when any time the guest is talking about horrible Russian propaganda the very next Willy comment is always "propaganda is awful on both sides". Especially, when it's not related to the context of the story.
The arrogance & ignorance here is off the charts. If you can't see or understand the role the US (the collective west) played in creating this and many other conflicts, you have no business speaking on these things.
The NeoCons/ Victoria Nuland should never ever of backed the coup against the ELECTED government of Ukraine 8 years ago that started this nightmare off
Adopt Germanies anti Nazi policies to kick out all the Nazis Zelensky keeps his promise to let eastern area basically be independent. Zelensky allows international investigation into the 12k genocide alleged by Russia. NATO keeps its promise to not expand NATO east and proves it by Ukraine constituonal amendment. Can we all agree these are all good things? (Firing Nazis, keeping promises , taking claims of genocide seriously ) It may not stop Putin if he really does want to expand Russia, but it will completely remove every stated reason for Putin's invasion.
It's very interesting how this interview starts out with the point that many Russians know very little about the nature of the conflict, and right after he suggests that Ukrainians also knew almost nothing based on their commonly held belief that nothing too serious was going on. It reminds me of Willy's man-on-the-street video of Ukraine the day before the SMO. So many of the people he talked to were completely clueless as to what was about to take place. Such a surreal situation.
@@LiberalinOregon well, zelensky also said that Russia will not invade. But he knew that they will, Olaf sholtz and macron both went to kiev multiple times to convince him to give up NATO aspirations and stay neutral, but he refused, and he knew what was coming. maybe Russians believed that some solution will be meet. I think that was Russian biggest mistake. They negotiated behind half closed doors, and although outcome was public, it was not widely reported. They should be open from the beginning and say to the whole world that if security concerns over Ukrain NATO membership they will have no other choice but to invade a hostile country
2 ND SS PANZER DIVISION "DAS REICH" THAT IS THE STANDARD AZOV USED TO REPRESENT THEM. What game do you hunt when you go on safari? What kind shit did you do, by missing the 20,000 dead separatists, not just fighters, slot are non combatants, killed from random shelling,. all over the city, not just the airport. Russia lost twenty five million to the Nazis, they kinda see things differently.
This channel has some interessting interviews but the host is just so blatantly pro russian. Every time a guest says something like "the russians did this horrible thing" he quickly adds something along the lines of "well yes, both sides have done some bad stuff". It's straight out of Putins relativist-playbook.
@@rdsc.455 not really, I have lisened to a few episodes in full now and relativistically excusing Russian barbarism is a recurring theme. And it's kind of past just being fair and honest; it's an over the top attempt to make what the Russians are doing seem like just normal war-stuff that everybody does.
@@randomnobodovsky3692 as I said the opposition. Remember this all started coz of a trade agreement that went Russias way and not the eu. Coup army split Russian army (green men) came in. Here we are
YES!!!!!!! Finally someone else has said it!!!!! Why the hell do people care SOOOO much now but no one was tossing their shit 8 years ago?? And the ones who are acting like this is the first issue that has occurred there
People actually think Ukraine will be a free country after the war, it wasn't b4 the war ... Some people think Iraq will be a free and safe country one day, we been there for 20 years and its worse than b4 we took out Saddam.
1) Blue Shirt guest Benjamin Reed glosses over the lack of prosecution of murders committed in Odessa against protesters (2014 Odessa clashes). 2) Benjamin excuses using civilians as shields while he is a combatant being transported on trains 3) Benjamin conceals the practice of Ukraine Armed Forces in 2014+ using civilian airline flights as human shields on their bombing runs against Donbass when discussing MH17 (just like Israel has done against Syria off the coast of Lebanon).
Lol, I don't get why people try to defend people with Swastikas, yes they are actual Nazis they have swastikas and totenkophs and Nazi flags. Doesn't mean Russia was justified invading Ukraine but it's mental to try and say someone doing a Nazi salute with swastika tattoos and Nazi flags isn't a Nazi.
This interview is interesting for everything he inadvertently admits to. The guy shows little insight into what he experienced tbh. He just presents the Ukranian point of view, for example causally dismissing Odessa massacre- even weakly trying to justify it. Frankly, I don't trust anything he says about his drunk admission of war crimes and his statement now that he never witnessed Ukranian soldiers committing war crimes.
The ever fitting: "do stupid things win stupid prizes"... Trolling the Russians was a quite the brainless move, the IQs of Americans soldiers extend to getting a burger when they are hungry, and this guy is an example.
Thanks for the interview. It was great hearing from another eyewitness to history. Next time you have him on it should be pub talk style as you two would have a wonderful conversation.
You don't admit to a war crime even if you're being tortured, let alone as a joke. I don't think you will live long enough to see retirement. For some reason, I can imagine him dying by suicide.
Wow literally an hour of talking about nothing. This guy is, to well versed in, he seems like an executive, just gives nothing away, tells you nothing, just talks about nothing of value or note.
Amnesty international wrote a full report on Ukrainian Azov and their war crimes, no report war written about the russian separatists, your on the wrong side of history.
Lol, because Homo Sovieticus maybe. In the Tsar's time, before the Bolsheviks bloody coup, there were more than 300 ethnic groups there I think, but then again it's the world's largest country.
Most of these groups are so small that they can fit in one village. And roughly 80% of the population are ethnic Russians. There are a lot of foreigners in big cities like Moscow (workers from places like Tajikistan or students from Africa) but aside from that there ain’t that much diversity going on. No matter how hard the officials try to push the “multinational people of Russian Federation” narrative.
@@ivansmirnov7342 translation - "they married and bred outside their groups and their groups started to look the same".. like it or not Russia is more diverse than the EU or UK. According to the UN population Division estimates, the Russian federation was second only to the United States in the sheer number of immigrants and refugees.
@@B5152g “bred outside their groups” - not really. Genetic studies show that Russians didn’t mix with other ethnicities. Not at any significant scale at least. Some ethnic groups (like Chechens for example) straight up forbid it. “Russia has lots of immigrants” - yeah, but most of them return to their countries after getting enough cash. Very few of them actually stay.
People keep saying he’s sketchy cause he’s prob throwing them off with his mannerisms and rhetoric but remember he was in a place called war where people don’t comeback the same. They can be quiet angry have ptsd or seem sketchy cause you’re lack of interest or care makes him your scapegoat to vent on the subject atm js
Not the best argument, Should we invade every single country that is invading another ? No that’s ridiculous When ever I used to speak to people about Crimea, they would act like it’s just another war We had Iraq afghan Yugoslavia multiple places in Africa asia South America, Crimea was “just another conflict” and you can’t blame them at all for thinking that
Now imagine being some IT guy whose the most terrifying life experience was when program didn't compile, and you're being drafted into the military and thrown into this hell on earth war..
@@jf-zq2qz I was thinking of Ukraine's drafted, but works for Russians as well I guess :) If you don't know, Ukraine military is not just volunteers for a long time now.
Just imagine all the college students that have never seen anything like this being drafted. Never been truly cold or hungry never seen people butchered by machine gun fire or blasted by artillery.
The shooting of airliner was Kyiv prank to russians. The aircontroll of Kyiv put the Malesian plane on flight path, which was not normally used by civilian traffick but which was used by army cargo planes, of which the separatists had shot down a couple, with a Buk that was ukrainian army´s property, taken from military base in east Ukraine. Ukraine had close to hundred selfpropelled Buk platforms so the story of Putin giving order to shoot down a civilian airliner was total propaganda. I respect you Willy as you try to get to the truth, which is all that matters, and which could have prevented this war. It's like water is wet, great powers will be interested in their neighbours policy, anti-russian policy was brainfart of the century. Remember Cuba is still at 50´s because USA don't like their regime.
The war doesn’t affect me other than my tax dollars (being used to help Ukraine) but I am very against this war. I wasn’t aware in 2014 that the war had started. Our news has a small segment on world news which can easily be missed. This war has opened my eyes to what’s going on in the world. I now watch news from many other countries. I was clueless like so many of my fellow countrymen.
What country do you live in? I’m an American and I’ve been aware of the Russian attacks and occupations. It was a low priority on my radar, but I was aware.
Carol your tax dollars are already used on our defense budget, you’re not paying “extra” for this. Incredible how people have no idea how tax money works
@@Morningstar_Actual I am aware of the fact that a certain(20%?) amount is allocated to military. One analyst said it’s around 84 cents per day per tax payer. I guess perhaps I should have said that I support the government in military aid to Ukraine.
Have you thought about what it was like during the American revolution? The fact that Ukraine is at war now and actually following the Geneva convention and invited investigators specifically for war crimes no matter the out come. That's a really good thing.
You can’t possibly be so ignorant. This is what’s wrong with our damn media. Unfortunately for Ukraine, they like to video many of their war crimes and brag about it, but still there will never be consequences because it’s inconvenient for the u.s. proxy war. Even the u.s. state dept acknowledges their regular human rights violations on their website, “carried out by the gov or its agents” (2021 human rights report on Ukraine). The UN has well documented and detailed reports. Plus we can watch the videos for ourselves.
UN inspectors have blocked from investigations. The UK was chairing the security council when Bucha happened and blocked the UN investigation from being considered
or even our civil war. Neither side had any problem burning down peoples homes and stealing their cattle, shit even their own side would do it to their civilian population. Contrary to the war in Ukraine, we were actually one people lol.
That man He already has his place in hell secure, no matter what, the only thing he will tell him is that he killed many humans and he did not even have to do it but emotions won over his reason and now he will not be able to go to a better place after dying and so all those who have killed someone ej wars
Oh some atrocities happened here and there, some more crimes maybe, nobody really got in trouble for it blah blah blah. Come on man, he's just gaslighting.
One thing that I can tell you about this military dude he wrestled a lot .Getting hammered and getting on the world wide net can end bad and has for many hundreds of people waking up thinking what did I do/say ?

What about when Moscow, which we all

Im the 1000th comment. So let an actual guy that was in war as kid chime in. I was born in Nova Gradiska, Croatia, right on the border to Bosnia. 91-96 We had many foreign fighters come "help". On both sides. So they got 1000, we got 1000 and in the middle were my family, friends. My Mom and Grandmother, I was a kid. And after a while we realised these people just want to get their kick. Some even went home on Sunday evening to Austria etc. to work from Mo-Fr. We called them weekend soldiers. They didn't give a sh*t about who they fight, civilians. They screamed in joy when civilians died when they tortured POWs etc. (This scream when US soldiers see a bomb explode).
When our military realized they are having fun here and were also stealing, murdering civilians, raping, our army didn't let them go home no more. We used them as attack groups were it was exceedingly difficult. We made use of them. And they were great fertilizer for our trees to grow. Thank you nameless adrenaline junky.

I am just wondering why all these foreign people are going to Ukraine and fight there. Ok I understand Ukraine is the underdog, Ukraine is a sovereign country and have been attacked. But why these people are not fighting for Iraq, Yemen, Lybia, Serbia, Syria. Also these countries are sovereign countries and all of these wars have not been backed up by any international right.
Those were religious/sectarian conflicts. Ukraine is literally Europe being attacked by people who identify themselves as descendants of Mongol-Tatars. A sh*tload of people went to fight ISIS alongside the Kurds. Your point is flawed af

@@JP-vb5cx this guy is clearly white supremacists and a Nazi.

Does the US have interest in letting this war drag on as long as possible? That would explain the half ass assistance it is giving Ukraine, enough for Ukraine to resist and carry on fighting, insufficient for it to achieve a decisive victory and end the war quickly. The longer the war lasts, the more devastating it is for the Russian economy and military, never mind the destruction it causes to Ukraine.

This guy is such an apologist. It's hard to get past the impression that he's a straight up propagandist. I lost count of how many times he said "but the Russians did it too" and " but it happens on both sides." Most of your guests are what they appear to be-not this guy.

From the 13th minute you say that Russia is not diverse in terms of nations... But you probably didn't know that 180 nationalities live there, each with its own language and customs. In what country is there such diversity? Probably only in the U.S. and that's because it's a country of migrants.

The problem with the Ukraine war as it's not even about Ukraine they're just centre-stage to a huge geopolitical play that's going on worldwide many ukrainians and Russians are caught up and dine for propaganda purposes. In my opinion the Ukraine war is not about Ukraine at all but rather it's about the current geopolitical and cultural war going on around the world.

There's this interview on a channel called Azeal titled: "This Marine fought Russians in Ukraine". It's an eye opening experience about the reality of war. He goes into detail about his first kill as well as how he and his friend pissed themselves during an artillery barrage(he has never seen active combat prior to Ukraine).
Seen that, it really was a good and informing interview.
Thanks

It's very interesting how this interview starts out with the point that many Russians know very little about the nature of the conflict, and right after he suggests that Ukrainians also knew almost nothing based on their commonly held belief that nothing too serious was going on. It reminds me of Willy's man-on-the-street video of Ukraine the day before the SMO. So many of the people he talked to were completely clueless as to what was about to take place. Such a surreal situation.
Putin did say he wasn’t going to invade Ukraine.
So there is that.
@@LiberalinOregon well, zelensky also said that Russia will not invade. But he knew that they will, Olaf sholtz and macron both went to kiev multiple times to convince him to give up NATO aspirations and stay neutral, but he refused, and he knew what was coming. maybe Russians believed that some solution will be meet. I think that was Russian biggest mistake. They negotiated behind half closed doors, and although outcome was public, it was not widely reported. They should be open from the beginning and say to the whole world that if security concerns over Ukrain NATO membership they will have no other choice but to invade a hostile country

People actually think Ukraine will be a free country after the war, it wasn't b4 the war ... Some people think Iraq will be a free and safe country one day, we been there for 20 years and its worse than b4 we took out Saddam.
1) Blue Shirt guest Benjamin Reed glosses over the lack of prosecution of murders committed in Odessa against protesters (2014 Odessa clashes).
2) Benjamin excuses using civilians as shields while he is a combatant being transported on trains
3) Benjamin conceals the practice of Ukraine Armed Forces in 2014+ using civilian airline flights as human shields on their bombing runs against Donbass when discussing MH17 (just like Israel has done against Syria off the coast of Lebanon).
how come you dont talk about 2014onward killings in donbas? is it preference or hypocracy?
"In 2014 things went crazy" why? Who overthrew the legitimate Ukranian government? Your guest had clearly not heard the Victoria Newland phone call!
Lol, I don't get why people try to defend people with Swastikas, yes they are actual Nazis they have swastikas and totenkophs and Nazi flags. Doesn't mean Russia was justified invading Ukraine but it's mental to try and say someone doing a Nazi salute with swastika tattoos and Nazi flags isn't a Nazi.
This interview is interesting for everything he inadvertently admits to. The guy shows little insight into what he experienced tbh. He just presents the Ukranian point of view, for example causally dismissing Odessa massacre- even weakly trying to justify it. Frankly, I don't trust anything he says about his drunk admission of war crimes and his statement now that he never witnessed Ukranian soldiers committing war crimes.
I give yall credit for admitting that iraq and Afghanistan was a joke compared to this conflict.
You're doing such an amazing job, I recommend the channel almost daily to people who need perspective

Thanks for the interview. It was great hearing from another eyewitness to history.
Next time you have him on it should be pub talk style as you two would have a wonderful conversation.
You don't admit to a war crime even if you're being tortured, let alone as a joke. I don't think you will live long enough to see retirement. For some reason, I can imagine him dying by suicide.
Wow literally an hour of talking about nothing. This guy is, to well versed in, he seems like an executive, just gives nothing away, tells you nothing, just talks about nothing of value or note.
There are things you can glean from it. For one there are massive casualties on the Ukranian side.
Amnesty international wrote a full report on Ukrainian Azov and their war crimes, no report war written about the russian separatists, your on the wrong side of history.
Russia has 190 ethnic groups. How are they not diverse??
Lol, because Homo Sovieticus maybe. In the Tsar's time, before the Bolsheviks bloody coup, there were more than 300 ethnic groups there I think, but then again it's the world's largest country.
Most of these groups are so small that they can fit in one village.
And roughly 80% of the population are ethnic Russians.
There are a lot of foreigners in big cities like Moscow (workers from places like Tajikistan or students from Africa) but aside from that there ain’t that much diversity going on. No matter how hard the officials try to push the “multinational people of Russian Federation” narrative.
@@ivansmirnov7342 translation - "they married and bred outside their groups and their groups started to look the same".. like it or not Russia is more diverse than the EU or UK.
According to the UN population Division estimates, the Russian federation was second only to the United States in the sheer number of immigrants and refugees.
@@B5152g “bred outside their groups” - not really. Genetic studies show that Russians didn’t mix with other ethnicities. Not at any significant scale at least.
Some ethnic groups (like Chechens for example) straight up forbid it.

When ever I used to speak to people about Crimea, they would act like it’s just another war
We had Iraq afghan Yugoslavia multiple places in Africa asia South America,
Crimea was “just another conflict” and you can’t blame them at all for thinking that
Wherever there's a war you can almost guarantee that the US has their fingerprints on it. Either directly or indirectly.

The shooting of airliner was Kyiv prank to russians. The aircontroll of Kyiv put the Malesian plane on flight path, which was not normally used by civilian traffick but which was used by army cargo planes, of which the separatists had shot down a couple, with a Buk that was ukrainian army´s property, taken from military base in east Ukraine. Ukraine had close to hundred selfpropelled Buk platforms so the story of Putin giving order to shoot down a civilian airliner was total propaganda. I respect you Willy as you try to get to the truth, which is all that matters, and which could have prevented this war.

The war doesn’t affect me other than my tax dollars (being used to help Ukraine) but I am very against this war. I wasn’t aware in 2014 that the war had started.

You can’t possibly be so ignorant. This is what’s wrong with our damn media. Unfortunately for Ukraine, they like to video many of their war crimes and brag about it, but still there will never be consequences because it’s inconvenient for the u.s. proxy war. Even the u.s. state dept acknowledges their regular human rights violations on their website, “carried out by the gov or its agents” (2021 human rights report on Ukraine). The UN has well documented and detailed reports. Plus we can watch the videos for ourselves.
UN inspectors have blocked from investigations. The UK was chairing the security council when Bucha happened and blocked the UN investigation from being considered
or even our civil war. Neither side had any problem burning down peoples homes and stealing their cattle, shit even their own side would do it to their civilian population. Contrary to the war in Ukraine, we were actually one people lol.
