You skipped over the eight years of geno cide that Ukraine committed against the Russian speaking Ukrainian citizens or did you forget to add that bit in? If any country can be accused of breaking agreements it is the western nations. NATO agreed not to expand eastward into Warsaw Pact countries if the Soviet Union left Eastern Germany.
FAKE HISTORY NATO/UKRAINE BROKE THE BUDAPEST MEMORANDUM BY OVERTHROW THE PRESIDENT AND THEN AFTER SCRAPING TREATIES MADE WITH RUSSIA YEARS AGO AND PASS ANTI-RUSSIAN LAWS LIKE NO RUSSIAN SPOKEN IN PUBLIC OR IN SCHOOLS SCRAPING THE LEASE RUSSIAN NAVAL BASE IN CRIMEA ALL OF THIS WAS BY UNELECTED NEW GOVT WHICH NO ONE VOTED FOR AND WAS FUNDED BY NATO NATIONS SO TRY AGAIN WITH BS FAKE HISTORY
I love how the channel omits how in 2014 a democratically elected government was toppled and an anti-russian government was installed with Victoria Nuland choosing who will rule the country. Then elections start which can't be held in the DENSELY POPULATED pro-russian Donbass region because of the civil war and the separatist entities. The Donbass and Crimea were the reason why Yanukovich was even able to get so many votes in the first place. The overthrown government in Kiev did de facto not represent the people of Donbass and Crimea. But of course, if you hold elections without them which generate results that are completely different from what you had before the overthrow it looks like the thing before must have been fake. What a joke.
@@cunning-stunt Precisely. There is more: Germany was the guarantor of the Minsk Accords. In January 2023 Ms Merkel admitted on record that the accords were not for real and were never meant to be implemented. Her statement was confirmed by Poroshenko and Hollande as correct. In other words, both accords were effectively a farce aimed at deceiving Russia. Both were legally binding in international format. Thus it is the West that made a mockery of international law.
Yeah, NATO military as whole maybe weaker than Ukraine. The sheer land mass of the NATO is their strongest suit, I won't think Russia can take them in current shape, not a chance

I guess that if you're the kind of person that gets offended quickly then yes this is distasteful etc. But from an objective perspective, learning about war/strategy/geopolitics through games is actually usefull, especially in today's contexte. I think if more people played these kind of games, we would collectively have a better understanding of how war and geopolical relations can pan out. Games like CIV are actually quite great for that. Of course it's a simplification of things but it does help broaden one's perspective. So yes it is a bit... provocative. But it does serve a purpose. I wouldn't through a stone at him for doing that.

@@EUMadeSimple Yo, it's literally the slightest of annoyances. Not a big deal. At least you provide a lot of value with these concise yet informative videos. You earning some revenue is well-deserved.
@@albevanhanoy issue with this is, it's not that simple. When a sponsor comes, they have their wishes. A YT'er can negotiate but taking too much time in negotiating ultimately hurts the video as too much time is being lost to negotiating. Also putting it in the beginning or end is a tough one for sponsors as they are not stupid and know a lot of people will just fastforward that section or well at the end, nobody will finish the video to watch the ad. Though when the sponsor paid, they paid. So it's a very logica thing that they have their demands on how and when. It is a difficult position to negotiate from when you're a smaller YT channel. I'm fairly sure that EUMS would continue without any sponsors and such if it was a possibility. They seem very driven on bringing quality videos first and that's something we gotta cherish. Adding sponsors is a thing that will always have some impact and it takes time to get it right and the feel to negotiate and how long to put time in it to negotiate so it doesn't hurt the video nor the viewer. In the end it's a calculation the channel has to make .. maybe upset x people but don't lose x time in negotiating, thus bringing x more value to the video and so on. It's a very difficult equation. Anyways, keep going EUMS, as always good job. I don't think this sponsor was a bad choice, only thing for me is that I wouldn't sell your 'opinion' as in, "I enjoy this game a lot, etc" .. if it is true, sure say it but if you do this with all sponsors eventually people will think.. hmm.. what's the credibility of the entire person and thus channel? That's something important afaik.

Estonia should be working hard to develop a functional Baltic Council, and interlop their military functions across the 3 states, in both military procurement, to bring down the per-unit costs of equipment, and to centralize defense planning, in particular for anti-tank, A2AD, and mine laying operations. But they don't do any of this, rather their military organization is still very much ran like a post-soviet clown show. They would be wise to take some notes from Poland.
@EUMadeSimple It actually surprises me that you, a EU channel didn't bring up Article 42.7 as a mutual defense within the EU. It also has much stronger wording then Article 5 of Nato. "If a Member State is victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member Stats shall have towards it an obligation of aid and assistance by ALL THE MEANS IN THEIR POWER." I would say that doesn't open up for any question what to do, as it basically say that all member stats has to do what ever they can, and Germany fore sample has tanks, and its possible to send it, that means they has to as its in their power to do so... Which also would include sending troops.
"in their power" could be interpreted like what EU is doing toward Ukraine and wouldn't mean all members will join the war, it need a more direct wording like "if a member get attacked by another country all members must declare war on the attacking country".
@@dragonfire3727 Yes I would agree if its only said "in their power", but it said "all the means in their power". Its in our power to send troops to Ukraine now, we just choose not to, but in the Article 42.7 you have an obligation to use it if its in your power to do so. I guess any country could lie and say its not in their power, but that would be a flat out lie. I do agree it would be best if they made the wording a bit more clear by saying that if someone attacks anyone in the EU everyone else would join the war, "declare war" on the attacking country would not be right though, as they are not attacking, but defending, so they would see it as the attacking country declaring war on everyone.
well that is not going to end well for any EU country. They have already stripped themselves bare in the matter of defence. Ye should hope that Russia is no where near the monster ye have painted her as, because when the Ukraine war is over, Russia would be able to invade right up to the English channel without resistance, and with the state of the royal navy likely cross it too. Not that I predict that, because taking it and keeping it are two different things.
"aid and assistance" is not equal military intervention. That's the trick US made for the NATO, you think NATO will actually to defend their eastern meat shield, sorry, allies? Do you know what happened to Poland in 1939? Western won't do a thing.

I don't think you know what annexation means. Chechnya was part of Soviet Union proper, and Russia inherited it's territory. They waged two wars, but both of them were considered civil conflicts as it was within internal national borders. Armenia is more closely aligned with Russia, historically, although some ties were weakened due to lack of Russian military support. Azerbaijan is more closely aligned with Turkey, both in opposition to Armenia, as well as Azerbaijan's reluctance to be swayed into Iranian's sphere of influence. Lastly, Georgia was drifting towards EU/US influence, until the most recent election, which seems initially to be more pro-Russia.

It’s a miracle that it survived this long, and it was through utter corruption. It don’t think it was supposed to ever be a country. Ukraine means “borderland”… it was always just a cushion between Russia and Europe. It’s kind of fabricated… and the region has been annexed by many powers over the last 700 years, including the Mongolians, but also the Poles, Ottomans, and now Russians. There’s almost no ancestry or nationalism there that is separate from Russia or Poland. There’s no reason to be sentimental… Unless you fear for fighting in a war.
Speaking of the necessity of europe having the ability to defend itself is true, but strength is not everything. As the US's lost wars have shown, strength can only get you so far. Europeans need to be willing to fight. Otherwise, all the ability in the world won't make a difference
The US military didn't "lose" Vietnam, idiot politicians did. Our strength is aircraft carriers, accurate missiles, long range artillery and the fact our troops aren't illiterate peasants who'd rather be back home with mommy.

i dont understand why people keep pointing out the PPP for russia military spending. It would only be relevant if all their products and ressources are domesticly produced which it is not. Also most of what they are producing is being used in Ukraine. Its not like they can do anything else currently, even with all that spending.

Nothing will happen to europe. Moldova and Georgia might have to worry but besides that putin would have gained all he could reasonably achieve. All the polish and baltic paranoia stems from (a) exagerated trauma of soviet occupation, mixed with hate for russians in general and (b) comparing putin to hitler while conveniently forgetting that hitler only attacked poland because he thought britain and france wouldnt intervene.
In my opinion, he doesn't even need to attack Baltic states to get what he wants since they are in EU. He only needs to send money to all Russians who were wronged by Estonian Government and tell them 'go to Strasburg.' The EU will do the rest and Estonia may lose billions in paying damages alone. That is more costly than any war.

Russian and Russian-speaking is not the same thing. Although it's true that a big chunk of the people in the East of Ukraine are ethnically Russians due to the soviet deportations and starvations of the local population and bringing Russians instead (kinda what they do now in Mariupol), a lot of those you call Russians are still Ukrainians who just happen to speak Russian due to the centuries of russification. Thank you for your coverage though, all this is so important for the people in the West to know! Thank you for your support to Ukraine.
Joining NATO is and always has been voluntary. Any country can join, as long as other NATO members agree on it. So no one is forcing countries to join - they do it because they're sovereign states that can decide on their own.
If you're hinting at Ukraine's desire to join NATO, I'll tell you that originally we hadn't wanted to join the alliance. Like, why did we even need this, while Russia undertook to protect us in exchange in our nuclear weapons? But later Russia occupied Crimea and showed that it doesn't give a damn about Budapest agreement, and we understood that NATO is the only way to get protected from Russia. Russia also substantiated its decision to invade Ukraine as the consequence of our desire to join NATO. Well, the invasion made Finland and Sweden to join it, and now Russia has much longer border with NATO as if only Ukraine had joined the alliance; and now NATO fully dominates in Baltic sea. And for "some reasons" Russia hadn't invaded Finland when it declared its desire to join the Alliance 🤔
@@Nezalezhnyi Indeed. Some people call Putin the most successful NATO agent in history - if it wasn't for his aggressive behaviour toward his neighbors, Finland and Sweden would've never joined the alliance. And even taking Ukraine doesn't make much sense because then Russia will share a border with Poland and Romania, which are NATO countries. The thought process of the Kremilin bottox dwarf just NEVER made any sense.
Belarus is in a tough spot right now, heavily influenced by Russia, almost like a vassal state as you said. But it’s important to remember that not everyone in Belarus is on board with this. The country is divided: the older generation and some others lean towards Russia, but a large portion of the population dreams of a future with Europe, free from tyranny. The massive protests in 2020 showed that many people want change. There are still groups and organizations quietly working towards liberating the country. I believe we could see another wave of activism soon, driven by these passionate individuals and the general public’s desire for a better future.

Instead of implementing Minsk agreement which allignes with EU standard of minority rights, Kiev regime attempted ethnic cleansing of Donbass and here we are... West might keep sending weapons but Ukraine has no men for endless war.
Ok, Ukraine will win, so what's next? The country is almost destroyed, it will take 10 years or more to join the EU & NATO and you as a European will pay for it. Do you really want to throw your taxes into that when Europe already has a life cost crisis and lowest birth rate since ww2?
I definitely agree with the opinion expressed: EU needs its own army, it cannot continue to rely on the US and cannot trust Russia to honor anything. I do think a different sponsor would have been more tasteful.
Europeans should be concerned firstly of their own security. It made sense post war as the means to do so were limited, but at this point, the entirety of the EU is somewhat on-par with the US.
If EU would honor anything from Russia, then Russia would honor EU. You can't sit on the 1 chair and pretend to not to. Russia is not attacking EU, but EU with USA attacking Russia.
Having a European army as such doesn’t solve the free rider problem (inherent in nato today). European countries not directly bordering Russia don’t have a need to spend money on their militaries.
Didn't like the style how this video was made. Secondly Baltic states where forcibly occupied states within Soviet Union, there is difference by just saying, that they where part of it.
Thank you for propaganda. Nobody wants the war, they told that again and again from both sides, but all you do is pumping the military conflict and its idea, instead of looking for a consensus.
You say at the end of the video helping Ukraine would avoid the influx of refugees, as one of the goals. However, Europeans Countries have already a policy in place forcing all EU members to receive refugees from middle east, otherwise they receive sanctions. So, it's the same.
One of the best realistical ways out would be to negotiate new borders and put Ukraine in a position to be defendable in the future. We should go towards a realistic settlement, but without the security condition everything becomes harder... I'd like to know what the available options actually are.
Funnily enough, I've recently finished watching Michael Palin's New Europe series that he did in 2007, and when he was in Ukraine he remarked about how some parts of the country are actually quite pro Russian, particularly Crimea, which is interesting. Everyone makes such a big fuss about the annexation, but most people there are ethnically Russian anyway, plus the Ukrainians didn’t exactly do much for the place, so would letting the pro Russian parts of Ukraine join Russia necessarily be such a bad thing? After all, the Bosnian War ended with the country being divided between the Serbs and everyone else, so perhaps something similar could be the solution for Ukraine
@@Inkyminkyzizwoz That's the reason why I think taking back Crimea now would be a grave mistake, even IF it was somehow possible. The situation was already complex before, but although I strongly condemn militarily annexing ANY terrain, with Russia's great interest in the region now you can pretty much safely bet that the majority of the population wants to stay with Russia (whether because they are receiving more care or because of more blunt actions to control public opinion). I'd like to reiterate though that taking any region from another country with the military IS a big deal that no one should ever try and a big fuss SHOULD be made about it.
I'd agree with former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Miley, when he urged Ukraine to sue for peace immediately following the retaking of Kherson and Kharkiv. You negotiate from a position of strength, not weakness. This was in December 2022. If Ukraine were to negotiate today, it would be much more difficult.
@@Inkyminkyzizwoz It would be prudent for Ukraine to have access to Odessa, along with Kiev. However, this should have been negotiated at the end of 2022 at the latest.
@@fakestiv I could understand some ethnic Russian's sentiment in preferring to be a part of Russia rather than Ukraine. Ukraine after all had been increasing it's anti-ethnic Russian stance, in particular with the school systems. This stance also did not do the Ukrainians any good as they gave away further justifications for Putin to invade. Pretty dumb to repress any type of ethnic minorities or languages, be they Russians or otherwise.
I know ads are very important for a channel to survive. But this is the second time you say that the specific ad you're running is one of your favorites or helped you a lot.. is it truly so? Or is it just an easy way into the subject? I would also recommend choosing ads more carefully.. BetterHelp is known as a shitty service with their patients info leaking, etc.. and this war game.. well for some people this a touchy subject and promoting a war game (that you do play?) might hit a wrong note with some people.. defeating the purpose of receiving a deserved return and ways to grow the channel. I know monetizing a channel somewhat is difficult, YT gives way too little to smaller channels but do consider reading the comment section, etc. You'll see that definitely the BH ad wasn't welcomed and this one also seems a bit of a miss.. not for me, I kinda giggled and only questioned in myself like.. does he really mean what he says about his ads, it's been twice now that you talk kinda biased.. but for example if BH didn't actually help you or you didn't have a rough time like you said.. it does offend people that DID/DO have such issues and definitely hurts. The war game is whatever but I can't imagine a world where you truly play this game?? I dno, maybe you do.. anyways, ad companies will often give you a script or like 'what you need to say' .. don't be shy to negotiate it and definitely don't sell yourself out.
Dear Vahn, I appreciate your comments and I will take them with me for future videos. Actually I read most comments :) so I know what people think and saw the BH backlash. It is a difficult balance that we are trying to get right. Like you said, we are still small so we aren't exactly in a position of strength :) hopefully this will change . Thanks for watching our videos though!
@@EUMadeSimple When I wrote it, I was quite sure you did already read them. Of course it is difficult to react to the backlash when the sponsor recently sponsored a video. Can't exactly let them sponsor you and then 'sh*t' on them in the comments and say you'll never work with them again because of a backlash. I understand that fully, I hope other viewers do too. Growing a youtube channel and getting the right amount of revenue to grow it further and make it less stingy to keep putting in the same work (usually the work increases) is difficult. At some point you're also prompted with, "I've put so much effort into the channel but I also wanna be rewarded a bit for it" (as in wage for your honest work) and that also poses a big challenge. TH-cam's monetization is no way sufficient for proper let alone proper growing and rewarding the creators behind it. A lot, such as your self work with Patreon which is good but then you have people like me that aren't really in the position (or simply don't want, let's be honest) to be patreon of multiple channels. For me I consume so much knowledge on TH-cam.. if TH-cam made some kind of tier that my views would generate a lot more for the channels I view.. then I would do it within a heartbeat, but going to everybody's patreon and sign in is a bit too much for me and also too costly afaik. Though, such a model by TH-cam would be too much, they'll 99% chance want the biggest piece of such a tier and that hurts the entire thing also. It would be fair if they add other perks into it but heh, complicated. I doubt they'll ever do such a thing. I do know there's a platform like Nebula who does it fairer (according to some YT'ers I follow) but I don't know, YT is still firstmover and thus Nebula feels to me more like an Amazon Prime, a Netflix, a Disney+, a HBO Max and so on... TH-cam is just too big and you also don't want to split your focus amongst platforms I think. Like imagine people using one browser or one search engine.. they're not gonna be like ah yes, let me try another browser or search engine for all the rest. (And even pay for it - that's kinda Nebula) same functions, just different platform and paid. It's more honest towards creators but I doubt people will do the effort to really move out of the way. Anyways back to topic, well it was on topic kinda.. it shows once again how important in channel and video monetizing is and that ads and sponsors are crucial to the growth and wellfare of the channel. I'm no YT guru, I think you did a very good job already and keep doing it. I truly hope you find and strike the right balance for you and your team. All I know from viewing other YT'ers, they all said that negotiation is possible. But of course, they were big fish channels already. But I do believe there's always room for negotiation, regardless of each involved party's strength. I've learned so much from my carreer in sales. But also there you gotta feel how much and how long such negotiation takes because sometimes it's actually a net loss if you count the time on negotiating compared to what kind of a backlash you'd get. I believe for example the war game backlash wasn't too big, it were mainly people saying that it was ill timed and so on. But that's 'easily' changed by making it more clear when the sponsored section is coming. Then you have the people who sadly skip it, that's no bueno either. I've seen some channel put like some time bar on the bottom for how long the sponsored content will still take up in the video. I don't know what's best really but certainly I don't think this was a TOTALLY wrong sponsor. Like I said, I giggled for obvious reasons. Then again, I'm not easily offended. I'm no emotional replyer let's say, I always think bigger picture before I reply thus more rational reply. Anyways, another wall of text by me. In short, keep doing what you're doing, it's a lovely channel and I hope it's growing at a decent rate, especially now with the election period. The EU definitely needs more people to get into it because we need to stay relevant in geopolitics. I think you also bring the material very good, I've seen reporters from Belgium (e.g. Van Impe from Het Nieuwsblad) on her podcast being mega mega mega subjective and biased. It was a shame to watch and give my view to but I just needed to see all the media about the upcoming election. We need to be informed and preferably by journalists and such that are unbiased or at least bring it in a fairly unbiased way. So again, kudos, hats off to you and your team.
It's so funny to see examples given that don't relate to the topic. It's also funny to watch other facts being ignored. Oh yes, they are not convenient for the west. I'm sorry
It makes no sense for Russia to go to war with any other countries, the issue with Ukraine is one which has been going on since 2014. Since Russia already has troops in Transnistria there is no need for war, they can merely ignore Moldovan demands and let Transnistria effectively operate as a republic within the federation without it legally being so. The Baltic states, Poland, and Finland all detest the Russians so military occupation or a Russian puppet government will just not work and will be far too expensive to maintain, imagine the US's fiasco with Afgahnistan and then dial it up to 11. Russians look at fact and logic without considering the emotions, that is the Russian mentality. The West act on emotion without considering the purpose of military conflict from the Russian view. After Ukraine there will be no war with NATO countries, if anything NATO will probably do a false flag operation to justify war since they are so adamant about escalating the war in Ukraine. And yes, the Western governments are stupid enough to pull such a move considering the current state of the US and Europe.
Honestly, I disagree. I doubt Russia would do much else if they were to win. They don't really have much interest in the rest of Europe besides trade. As for the refugees, its not like we have to let them in. Ukraine really isn't our problem. May as well be some Middle Eastern countries fighting each other.
Right so something doesn't work with the multiple option thing here... I don't want peace ASAP, and I dont want a reduced budget. I know what each party stands for and I clearly disagree with the left generally and on this topic. Yet that's what was given me as "the party I most aline with". The only thing I agree with them on when it comes to defence is that a united eu army is not necessarily a good idea. I actually agree with the center right wing in France which is tied to the EPP. But I guess the ECR stance is also relatively in line with my views, even though I wouldnt vote for the french party representing that group for various other reasons. The problem stems from an automatic redirection to page 1 when I click on no to a united eu army stance, which assumes I said I didn't want the EU to provid military and economic aid. But I clicked on yes to military and economic aid. I see what you tried doing here and it's a good idea if well done, but you tried cutting some corners and that lead me to a wrong conclusion at best and "mis-information" at worse. I recommend re-trying this video style but with a much more in depth approach, which I suspect would ask more time than you have to spare. If you can't spare the time to do this properly, I think this serves as little more than a gimmick which is a shame. Quality content and information should be more important than gimmicks. Also the pros and cons are quite limited in their complexity and... kind of subjective lets say. So that's my two cents anyway. Keep it up though, overall, I like your channel !
Could've mentioned Russia recently wanting to unilaterally revise the Baltics maritime borders, and who would want to go to war with Russia for some water and then the next boundary pushed and the next and the next.
Moldovan here I was scared but let's be honest Russia has been messing with us since 1940 at this point it's annoying. They are scared of us reuniting with Romania that simple Oh and I'm for peace I don't like seeing people die "crazy" I know. Also remember Romania i.e. our brothers drafted a law allowing troops and intelligence too protect us if we were in danger due too their being over a million Romanian citizens here.

SCRAPING THE LEASE RUSSIAN NAVAL BASE IN CRIMEA
ALL OF THIS WAS BY UNELECTED NEW GOVT WHICH NO ONE VOTED FOR AND WAS FUNDED BY NATO NATIONS
SO TRY AGAIN WITH BS FAKE HISTORY
I love how the channel omits how in 2014 a democratically elected government was toppled and an anti-russian government was installed with Victoria Nuland choosing who will rule the country. Then elections start which can't be held in the DENSELY POPULATED pro-russian Donbass region because of the civil war and the separatist entities. The Donbass and Crimea were the reason why Yanukovich was even able to get so many votes in the first place. The overthrown government in Kiev did de facto not represent the people of Donbass and Crimea. But of course, if you hold elections without them which generate results that are completely different from what you had before the overthrow it looks like the thing before must have been fake.
What a joke.
@@cunning-stunt
Precisely. There is more: Germany was the guarantor of the Minsk Accords. In January 2023 Ms Merkel admitted on record that the accords were not for real and were never meant to be implemented. Her statement was confirmed by Poroshenko and Hollande as correct. In other words, both accords were effectively a farce aimed at deceiving Russia. Both were legally binding in international format. Thus it is the West that made a mockery of international law.
Moldova might be next but it's insane to even think Russia would invade the Baltics.
A war with Ukraine is nowhere near the same as a war with NATO.

@@roseforeuropa I know. I am just saying the ads should be at the end or at the start.

@@EUMadeSimple Yo, it's literally the slightest of annoyances. Not a big deal. At least you provide a lot of value with these concise yet informative videos. You earning some revenue is well-deserved.
@@albevanhanoy issue with this is, it's not that simple. When a sponsor comes, they have their wishes. A YT'er can negotiate but taking too much time in negotiating ultimately hurts the video as too much time is being lost to negotiating. Also putting it in the beginning or end is a tough one for sponsors as they are not stupid and know a lot of people will just fastforward that section or well at the end, nobody will finish the video to watch the ad. Though when the sponsor paid, they paid. So it's a very logica thing that they have their demands on how and when. It is a difficult position to negotiate from when you're a smaller YT channel. I'm fairly sure that EUMS would continue without any sponsors and such if it was a possibility. They seem very driven on bringing quality videos first and that's something we gotta cherish. Adding sponsors is a thing that will always have some impact and it takes time to get it right and the feel to negotiate and how long to put time in it to negotiate so it doesn't hurt the video nor the viewer. In the end it's a calculation the channel has to make .. maybe upset x people but don't lose x time in negotiating, thus bringing x more value to the video and so on. It's a very difficult equation. Anyways, keep going EUMS, as always good job. I don't think this sponsor was a bad choice, only thing for me is that I wouldn't sell your 'opinion' as in, "I enjoy this game a lot, etc" .. if it is true, sure say it but if you do this with all sponsors eventually people will think.. hmm.. what's the credibility of the entire person and thus channel? That's something important afaik.

Estonia should be working hard to develop a functional Baltic Council, and interlop their military functions across the 3 states, in both military procurement, to bring down the per-unit costs of equipment, and to centralize defense planning, in particular for anti-tank, A2AD, and mine laying operations. But they don't do any of this, rather their military organization is still very much ran like a post-soviet clown show. They would be wise to take some notes from Poland.
?
@@lovelightjoy1868 why not? Are you an Estonian nationalist or a russian bot? Only those 2 groups would say that, for different reasons
@EUMadeSimple It actually surprises me that you, a EU channel didn't bring up Article 42.7 as a mutual defense within the EU. It also has much stronger wording then Article 5 of Nato.
"If a Member State is victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member Stats shall have towards it an obligation of aid and assistance by ALL THE MEANS IN THEIR POWER."
I would say that doesn't open up for any question what to do, as it basically say that all member stats has to do what ever they can, and Germany fore sample has tanks, and its possible to send it, that means they has to as its in their power to do so... Which also would include sending troops.
"in their power" could be interpreted like what EU is doing toward Ukraine and wouldn't mean all members will join the war, it need a more direct wording like "if a member get attacked by another country all members must declare war on the attacking country".
@@dragonfire3727 Yes I would agree if its only said "in their power", but it said "all the means in their power". Its in our power to send troops to Ukraine now, we just choose not to, but in the Article 42.7 you have an obligation to use it if its in your power to do so. I guess any country could lie and say its not in their power, but that would be a flat out lie. I do agree it would be best if they made the wording a bit more clear by saying that if someone attacks anyone in the EU everyone else would join the war, "declare war" on the attacking country would not be right though, as they are not attacking, but defending, so they would see it as the attacking country declaring war on everyone.
well that is not going to end well for any EU country. They have already stripped themselves bare in the matter of defence.
Ye should hope that Russia is no where near the monster ye have painted her as, because when the Ukraine war is over, Russia would be able to invade right up to the English channel without resistance, and with the state of the royal navy likely cross it too.
Not that I predict that, because taking it and keeping it are two different things.
"aid and assistance" is not equal military intervention. That's the trick US made for the NATO, you think NATO will actually to defend their eastern meat shield, sorry, allies? Do you know what happened to Poland in 1939? Western won't do a thing.

I don't think you know what annexation means. Chechnya was part of Soviet Union proper, and Russia inherited it's territory. They waged two wars, but both of them were considered civil conflicts as it was within internal national borders.
Armenia is more closely aligned with Russia, historically, although some ties were weakened due to lack of Russian military support. Azerbaijan is more closely aligned with Turkey, both in opposition to Armenia, as well as Azerbaijan's reluctance to be swayed into Iranian's sphere of influence. Lastly, Georgia was drifting towards EU/US influence, until the most recent election, which seems initially to be more pro-Russia.

It’s a miracle that it survived this long, and it was through utter corruption.
It don’t think it was supposed to ever be a country. Ukraine means “borderland”… it was always just a cushion between Russia and Europe. It’s kind of fabricated… and the region has been annexed by many powers over the last 700 years, including the Mongolians, but also the Poles, Ottomans, and now Russians. There’s almost no ancestry or nationalism there that is separate from Russia or Poland.
There’s no reason to be sentimental… Unless you fear for fighting in a war.
Speaking of the necessity of europe having the ability to defend itself is true, but strength is not everything.
As the US's lost wars have shown, strength can only get you so far. Europeans need to be willing to fight. Otherwise, all the ability in the world won't make a difference

No. Yanukovich never promised that and the EU were always warning that Ukraine can't join them.
If European countries in NATO contributed their fair share to defense it wouldn’t be as big of a concern
Nothing happens, until the war nobody knew where Ukraine is
But they have Finland 🇫🇮 Norway 🇳🇴 and Sweden 🇸🇪 who stand directly behind them literally
Its funny how its only the russians who are named for not honoring international agreements. Hypocrisy at its best.
Why it's hypocrisy? Who broke pretty much every single post-Cold War treaty? Spoiler: it wasn't NATO or the EU.
Just a propaganda
What a joke video. If you believe Ukraine must win, off to the front you go first. Hero.
You should read the annual Heritage Foundation report on the US military. American forces in Europe are so small that they cannot fight anyone. This is why Europe needs to defend Europe and set its own agenda.
Isn't the Heritage Foundation a extreme right wing think tank that also came up with Project 2025?

"Russia might sign the agreement, but their track record to honor them is questionable", you have not heard of the Minsk agreement or this is a convenient memory lapse

Russian speaking is not Russian. They all do not align with Russia and do not have citizenship!
Just as German speaking is not German. I'm Austrian fir example!
True, but that's not what Putin thinks, nor what Russian propagandists say.
Little known fact is that the US had a huge Russian Empire immigration wave in the late 1800's early 1900's. Large areas of Ohio and Western Pennsylvania could be annexed... LOL...

Nothing will happen to europe. Moldova and Georgia might have to worry but besides that putin would have gained all he could reasonably achieve.
All the polish and baltic paranoia stems from (a) exagerated trauma of soviet occupation, mixed with hate for russians in general and (b) comparing putin to hitler while conveniently forgetting that hitler only attacked poland because he thought britain and france wouldnt intervene.
Nice try Ivan... but no, thanks
imagine saying that while the invasion is still happening, wtf
@@jh5kl There is no invasion.
In my opinion, he doesn't even need to attack Baltic states to get what he wants since they are in EU.
He only needs to send money to all Russians who were wronged by Estonian Government and tell them 'go to Strasburg.'
The EU will do the rest and Estonia may lose billions in paying damages alone. That is more costly than any war.

Any agreement on Russian terms would be appeasement, still a dirty word in the UK.
Was this script written by Ursula von der Napoleon or someone? So much cherry picking and misrepresentation even Blinken would start blinking at that. What a waste of time...
Starting a video about a real life war with thousands of real life casualties suffering through it just to mindlessly Segway to a war game ad feels really wrong and heartless, you probably could have found a better sponsor for this video…
Thank you for talk about this important sujet !
Russian and Russian-speaking is not the same thing. Although it's true that a big chunk of the people in the East of Ukraine are ethnically Russians due to the soviet deportations and starvations of the local population and bringing Russians instead (kinda what they do now in Mariupol), a lot of those you call Russians are still Ukrainians who just happen to speak Russian due to the centuries of russification. Thank you for your coverage though, all this is so important for the people in the West to know! Thank you for your support to Ukraine.
Nato shouldn't expand or should disband
Sure, and just let Russia just waltz right over us. You earned your ruble of the day comrade. Not go and drink your vodka.
Joining NATO is and always has been voluntary. Any country can join, as long as other NATO members agree on it. So no one is forcing countries to join - they do it because they're sovereign states that can decide on their own.
If you're hinting at Ukraine's desire to join NATO, I'll tell you that originally we hadn't wanted to join the alliance. Like, why did we even need this, while Russia undertook to protect us in exchange in our nuclear weapons? But later Russia occupied Crimea and showed that it doesn't give a damn about Budapest agreement, and we understood that NATO is the only way to get protected from Russia.
Russia also substantiated its decision to invade Ukraine as the consequence of our desire to join NATO. Well, the invasion made Finland and Sweden to join it, and now Russia has much longer border with NATO as if only Ukraine had joined the alliance; and now NATO fully dominates in Baltic sea. And for "some reasons" Russia hadn't invaded Finland when it declared its desire to join the Alliance 🤔
@@Nezalezhnyi Indeed. Some people call Putin the most successful NATO agent in history - if it wasn't for his aggressive behaviour toward his neighbors, Finland and Sweden would've never joined the alliance. And even taking Ukraine doesn't make much sense because then Russia will share a border with Poland and Romania, which are NATO countries. The thought process of the Kremilin bottox dwarf just NEVER made any sense.
The more you stay scared the more putin will eat you up.
What was in the Budapest agreement?
Belarus is in a tough spot right now, heavily influenced by Russia, almost like a vassal state as you said. But it’s important to remember that not everyone in Belarus is on board with this. The country is divided: the older generation and some others lean towards Russia, but a large portion of the population dreams of a future with Europe, free from tyranny. The massive protests in 2020 showed that many people want change. There are still groups and organizations quietly working towards liberating the country. I believe we could see another wave of activism soon, driven by these passionate individuals and the general public’s desire for a better future.
JUST MORE BS FROM PRO-EU BOT
YOU KNOW THAT THE ONLY CITY WHERE LUKASHENKO HAS THE LEAST SUPPORT IS THE CAPITAL

The West always denies the independency of states that don't want to be with them...
Nothing because Russia is not suicidal and has no interest in a direct conflict with NATO. How stupid do you have to believe any other scenario?
Instead of implementing Minsk agreement which allignes with EU standard of minority rights, Kiev regime attempted ethnic cleansing of Donbass and here we are... West might keep sending weapons but Ukraine has no men for endless war.
Russia never upheld its end of that agreement, making it null and void.
Good channel 👍

@@roseforeuropa The short-sighted ignorance of the Putin fanboys is just mindblowing.
Ok, Ukraine will win, so what's next? The country is almost destroyed, it will take 10 years or more to join the EU & NATO and you as a European will pay for it. Do you really want to throw your taxes into that when Europe already has a life cost crisis and lowest birth rate since ww2?
Cherry picked nonsense
I definitely agree with the opinion expressed: EU needs its own army, it cannot continue to rely on the US and cannot trust Russia to honor anything. I do think a different sponsor would have been more tasteful.
Europeans should be concerned firstly of their own security. It made sense post war as the means to do so were limited, but at this point, the entirety of the EU is somewhat on-par with the US.
No need for an European army. Several Europeans armies, outside of Nato control, would have a better effect.
If EU would honor anything from Russia, then Russia would honor EU. You can't sit on the 1 chair and pretend to not to. Russia is not attacking EU, but EU with USA attacking Russia.
@@SenatePalpatinetroller Russia is absolutely attacking the EU with hybrid warfare. Wake up.
Having a European army as such doesn’t solve the free rider problem (inherent in nato today). European countries not directly bordering Russia don’t have a need to spend money on their militaries.
Didn't like the style how this video was made. Secondly Baltic states where forcibly occupied states within Soviet Union, there is difference by just saying, that they where part of it.
Thank you for propaganda. Nobody wants the war, they told that again and again from both sides, but all you do is pumping the military conflict and its idea, instead of looking for a consensus.
You say at the end of the video helping Ukraine would avoid the influx of refugees, as one of the goals. However, Europeans Countries have already a policy in place forcing all EU members to receive refugees from middle east, otherwise they receive sanctions. So, it's the same.
One of the best realistical ways out would be to negotiate new borders and put Ukraine in a position to be defendable in the future. We should go towards a realistic settlement, but without the security condition everything becomes harder... I'd like to know what the available options actually are.
Funnily enough, I've recently finished watching Michael Palin's New Europe series that he did in 2007, and when he was in Ukraine he remarked about how some parts of the country are actually quite pro Russian, particularly Crimea, which is interesting. Everyone makes such a big fuss about the annexation, but most people there are ethnically Russian anyway, plus the Ukrainians didn’t exactly do much for the place, so would letting the pro Russian parts of Ukraine join Russia necessarily be such a bad thing? After all, the Bosnian War ended with the country being divided between the Serbs and everyone else, so perhaps something similar could be the solution for Ukraine
@@Inkyminkyzizwoz That's the reason why I think taking back Crimea now would be a grave mistake, even IF it was somehow possible. The situation was already complex before, but although I strongly condemn militarily annexing ANY terrain, with Russia's great interest in the region now you can pretty much safely bet that the majority of the population wants to stay with Russia (whether because they are receiving more care or because of more blunt actions to control public opinion).
I'd like to reiterate though that taking any region from another country with the military IS a big deal that no one should ever try and a big fuss SHOULD be made about it.
I'd agree with former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Miley, when he urged Ukraine to sue for peace immediately following the retaking of Kherson and Kharkiv. You negotiate from a position of strength, not weakness. This was in December 2022.
If Ukraine were to negotiate today, it would be much more difficult.
@@Inkyminkyzizwoz It would be prudent for Ukraine to have access to Odessa, along with Kiev. However, this should have been negotiated at the end of 2022 at the latest.
@@fakestiv I could understand some ethnic Russian's sentiment in preferring to be a part of Russia rather than Ukraine. Ukraine after all had been increasing it's anti-ethnic Russian stance, in particular with the school systems. This stance also did not do the Ukrainians any good as they gave away further justifications for Putin to invade. Pretty dumb to repress any type of ethnic minorities or languages, be they Russians or otherwise.
Lies! SO many lies in this video
Like…?
You are so BIAS. Try to make a more profound study on the topic and not just promote your opinion.
very interesting video thx
I know ads are very important for a channel to survive. But this is the second time you say that the specific ad you're running is one of your favorites or helped you a lot.. is it truly so? Or is it just an easy way into the subject? I would also recommend choosing ads more carefully.. BetterHelp is known as a shitty service with their patients info leaking, etc.. and this war game.. well for some people this a touchy subject and promoting a war game (that you do play?) might hit a wrong note with some people.. defeating the purpose of receiving a deserved return and ways to grow the channel. I know monetizing a channel somewhat is difficult, YT gives way too little to smaller channels but do consider reading the comment section, etc. You'll see that definitely the BH ad wasn't welcomed and this one also seems a bit of a miss.. not for me, I kinda giggled and only questioned in myself like.. does he really mean what he says about his ads, it's been twice now that you talk kinda biased.. but for example if BH didn't actually help you or you didn't have a rough time like you said.. it does offend people that DID/DO have such issues and definitely hurts. The war game is whatever but I can't imagine a world where you truly play this game?? I dno, maybe you do.. anyways, ad companies will often give you a script or like 'what you need to say' .. don't be shy to negotiate it and definitely don't sell yourself out.
Dear Vahn, I appreciate your comments and I will take them with me for future videos. Actually I read most comments :) so I know what people think and saw the BH backlash. It is a difficult balance that we are trying to get right. Like you said, we are still small so we aren't exactly in a position of strength :) hopefully this will change . Thanks for watching our videos though!
@@EUMadeSimple When I wrote it, I was quite sure you did already read them. Of course it is difficult to react to the backlash when the sponsor recently sponsored a video. Can't exactly let them sponsor you and then 'sh*t' on them in the comments and say you'll never work with them again because of a backlash. I understand that fully, I hope other viewers do too.
Growing a youtube channel and getting the right amount of revenue to grow it further and make it less stingy to keep putting in the same work (usually the work increases) is difficult. At some point you're also prompted with, "I've put so much effort into the channel but I also wanna be rewarded a bit for it" (as in wage for your honest work) and that also poses a big challenge. TH-cam's monetization is no way sufficient for proper let alone proper growing and rewarding the creators behind it.
A lot, such as your self work with Patreon which is good but then you have people like me that aren't really in the position (or simply don't want, let's be honest) to be patreon of multiple channels. For me I consume so much knowledge on TH-cam.. if TH-cam made some kind of tier that my views would generate a lot more for the channels I view.. then I would do it within a heartbeat, but going to everybody's patreon and sign in is a bit too much for me and also too costly afaik. Though, such a model by TH-cam would be too much, they'll 99% chance want the biggest piece of such a tier and that hurts the entire thing also. It would be fair if they add other perks into it but heh, complicated. I doubt they'll ever do such a thing. I do know there's a platform like Nebula who does it fairer (according to some YT'ers I follow) but I don't know, YT is still firstmover and thus Nebula feels to me more like an Amazon Prime, a Netflix, a Disney+, a HBO Max and so on... TH-cam is just too big and you also don't want to split your focus amongst platforms I think. Like imagine people using one browser or one search engine.. they're not gonna be like ah yes, let me try another browser or search engine for all the rest. (And even pay for it - that's kinda Nebula) same functions, just different platform and paid. It's more honest towards creators but I doubt people will do the effort to really move out of the way.
Anyways back to topic, well it was on topic kinda.. it shows once again how important in channel and video monetizing is and that ads and sponsors are crucial to the growth and wellfare of the channel. I'm no YT guru, I think you did a very good job already and keep doing it. I truly hope you find and strike the right balance for you and your team. All I know from viewing other YT'ers, they all said that negotiation is possible. But of course, they were big fish channels already. But I do believe there's always room for negotiation, regardless of each involved party's strength. I've learned so much from my carreer in sales. But also there you gotta feel how much and how long such negotiation takes because sometimes it's actually a net loss if you count the time on negotiating compared to what kind of a backlash you'd get. I believe for example the war game backlash wasn't too big, it were mainly people saying that it was ill timed and so on. But that's 'easily' changed by making it more clear when the sponsored section is coming. Then you have the people who sadly skip it, that's no bueno either. I've seen some channel put like some time bar on the bottom for how long the sponsored content will still take up in the video. I don't know what's best really but certainly I don't think this was a TOTALLY wrong sponsor. Like I said, I giggled for obvious reasons. Then again, I'm not easily offended. I'm no emotional replyer let's say, I always think bigger picture before I reply thus more rational reply.
Anyways, another wall of text by me. In short, keep doing what you're doing, it's a lovely channel and I hope it's growing at a decent rate, especially now with the election period. The EU definitely needs more people to get into it because we need to stay relevant in geopolitics. I think you also bring the material very good, I've seen reporters from Belgium (e.g. Van Impe from Het Nieuwsblad) on her podcast being mega mega mega subjective and biased. It was a shame to watch and give my view to but I just needed to see all the media about the upcoming election. We need to be informed and preferably by journalists and such that are unbiased or at least bring it in a fairly unbiased way. So again, kudos, hats off to you and your team.
These are pretty realistic assessments and wise conclusion!
It's so funny to see examples given that don't relate to the topic. It's also funny to watch other facts being ignored. Oh yes, they are not convenient for the west. I'm sorry
Peace will reign and the warmongers will be disappointed. Europe then will focus on its real internal issues!
This narrator is a propagandist who completely ignore NATO's expansion to the east.
"expansion" yeah no, you are the propagandist
It makes no sense for Russia to go to war with any other countries, the issue with Ukraine is one which has been going on since 2014. Since Russia already has troops in Transnistria there is no need for war, they can merely ignore Moldovan demands and let Transnistria effectively operate as a republic within the federation without it legally being so. The Baltic states, Poland, and Finland all detest the Russians so military occupation or a Russian puppet government will just not work and will be far too expensive to maintain, imagine the US's fiasco with Afgahnistan and then dial it up to 11.
Russians look at fact and logic without considering the emotions, that is the Russian mentality. The West act on emotion without considering the purpose of military conflict from the Russian view. After Ukraine there will be no war with NATO countries, if anything NATO will probably do a false flag operation to justify war since they are so adamant about escalating the war in Ukraine. And yes, the Western governments are stupid enough to pull such a move considering the current state of the US and Europe.
Honestly, I disagree. I doubt Russia would do much else if they were to win. They don't really have much interest in the rest of Europe besides trade. As for the refugees, its not like we have to let them in. Ukraine really isn't our problem. May as well be some Middle Eastern countries fighting each other.
Right so something doesn't work with the multiple option thing here... I don't want peace ASAP, and I dont want a reduced budget. I know what each party stands for and I clearly disagree with the left generally and on this topic. Yet that's what was given me as "the party I most aline with". The only thing I agree with them on when it comes to defence is that a united eu army is not necessarily a good idea.
I actually agree with the center right wing in France which is tied to the EPP. But I guess the ECR stance is also relatively in line with my views, even though I wouldnt vote for the french party representing that group for various other reasons.
The problem stems from an automatic redirection to page 1 when I click on no to a united eu army stance, which assumes I said I didn't want the EU to provid military and economic aid. But I clicked on yes to military and economic aid.
I see what you tried doing here and it's a good idea if well done, but you tried cutting some corners and that lead me to a wrong conclusion at best and "mis-information" at worse.
I recommend re-trying this video style but with a much more in depth approach, which I suspect would ask more time than you have to spare. If you can't spare the time to do this properly, I think this serves as little more than a gimmick which is a shame. Quality content and information should be more important than gimmicks.
Also the pros and cons are quite limited in their complexity and... kind of subjective lets say.
So that's my two cents anyway. Keep it up though, overall, I like your channel !
Could've mentioned Russia recently wanting to unilaterally revise the Baltics maritime borders, and who would want to go to war with Russia for some water and then the next boundary pushed and the next and the next.
Moldovan here I was scared but let's be honest Russia has been messing with us since 1940 at this point it's annoying. They are scared of us reuniting with Romania that simple Oh and I'm for peace I don't like seeing people die "crazy" I know. Also remember Romania i.e. our brothers drafted a law allowing troops and intelligence too protect us if we were in danger due too their being over a million Romanian citizens here.
Poutin never said he wants Europe, he wants Ukraine's neutrality and no NATO membership, which Ukraine is not respecting
