Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, there's been a lot of talk about NATO - the continent's preeminent security alliance. However, NATO is far from the only military alliance on the continent, so in this video we run through some of the biggest and most interesting.

Well all Europeans do share a lot of culture of course. Especially in places as centrally located as Poland.
I grew up in Austria. We share a lot of heritage with Polish people as well. As do people in Germany, Ukraine, Slovakia, Czech Republic and so on...
Romania is not in Visegrad, Czechia is. Instead, BTW, Romania has its own (bilateral) alliance with the USA :)
In addition, Rep. Moldova is NOT alone, as Romania will always be there. Sure, Transnistria is an unresolved problem (for now).

@@evilmex1962 Considering Russia is in shambles it would be pretty easy to take back, especially with western support
@@evilmex1962 probably not, but don’t we all expect it to be solved in short order if Putin falls and Russia gets weak enough? Same with South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Probably the Kuril Islands as well. Karelia and Königsberg will be harder to solve.

7:21 Jack says Czech, but the map shows Romania as member in the Visegrad group. Believe Jack!
I always heard Visegrád pronounced the Hungarian way also when speaking English. That is vee-sha-graad. I think Jack has a unique way of pronouncing it. Just like when he says HerzegovANIA instead of Herzegovina.
Pronunciation is forgiveable but confusing two countries, IDK, I've been questioning this channel for a while now.
@@sogerc1 yea, and for a channel making short videos, i feel like they should’ve been able to identify and convey small details like this correctly so as to not make people like us speculate on their work.
@@sogerc1 I've been having the same feeling lately
@@sogerc1 They always make silly mistakes. But that leads to people like us commenting to correct them, which YT probably measures as higher "engagement", so it works out in their favour and expands their audience further.

@@neolexiousneolexian6079 Well, in this case it's just Google, not the whole civilization. Once they had a good product called "Search", but they messed up everything they touched since. Including Search.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Belgian-Dutch naval cooperation. There's a joint admiralty, multiple joint schools, same ships, and more.
Why is Finland on the map? Not a real country. It's historicly an Swedish territory.
Because you're wrong and it is a real country.
@@OHOE1 Because you're wrong and it is a real country.
It's not like a Belgian-Dutch alliance instills fear... two weak countries together are still weak (military-wise).
@@srccde The Dutch navy by itself is already a "green-water" navy that's capable of global force projection, meaning it's just one tier behind France or the UK (which have 3 to 4 times the population).
At 7:25 when the V4s are shown one of the lines go to Romania instead of the Czech republic. Still guys, you are making a great job day by day, keep it up and thank you for all the quality content.
That's not a mistake it just show future lol. As a Czech I really hope so. V4 is just not in the interest of the Czech republic certainly not with countries like Poland and Hungary whose democracies are consistently backsliding.
Romania for sure won't get involved in v4 unless AUR party will win and I hope that will never happen
@@statsguy1446 Czechia! Don't leave us! You are our only hope! We will change that unlawful government in Poland eventually...
@@statsguy1446 Poland can improve, they changed the ban on TVN and so on but I am more worried about Hungary which still loves Putin
@@JakubikF I know I also always loved the concept of the V4 but it's really becoming less and less beneficial for our country. I'm not saying there are big chances of leaving but I'm sure that if Orbán wins the Hungarian election there would be a huge discussion going on. I mean the polemics about leaving were always there but now those sentiments are showing more and more both in the media and public. To be honest the Turów conflict and Hungary's attitude towards Russia didn't help at all.
You are a democratic state in eastern europe:
😃
Russia mentions your shared ethno-cultural ties:
😰
"Ethno-cultural ties" those times Russian invaded and engaged in forced population migration.
We should make a joint European force and put those "ethno-cultural ties" to good use. Russia is wasted on Putin and his friends. Europe could do much with all that land...

In the section about the visegrad group, romania is highlighted instead of the czech republic.
The FNC sounds really good. It's a very good idea to have the smaller militaries specialise.
I'd love to see a video on all major non-european alliances as well.
He did that one already.
whole lot of regional alliances, then the US who is allied with half the world.
This is TLDR news EU
Would be interesting, but you know you're watching TLDR News ---EU---, right?
You got it completely wrong on Central and Eastern Europe. First, as previously mentioned, Romania is not part of the Visegrad Group, the Czech Republic is. Second, the most important military alliances in the region are the Three Seas Initiative(The Baltics, Visegrad countries, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Croatia) and the Bucharest 9(which includes the former countries, minus Slovenia and Croatia).
Neither V4, TSI B9 or even B3 are "alliances" in any shape or form.
None of them mention military cooperation or mutual defense.
At most you could mention Lublin Triangle.
A Russian invasion of Poland would be political and economic suicide for Russia, Poland is quite a lot richer than Ukraine and more modern but more importantly, they are in the EU, I know we have article 5 with NATO but it's just a word that hasn't been tested, not really much holds those countries together in NATO because they are not really integrated together.
The EU is quite different, from the early days shortly after the second world war with the Coal and Steel Community which was designed to pool resources among its members and make it almost impossible to go to war with each other, well that impact the same if a country was to invade any of them, basically, it would hurt them all which would compel them to get involved in a much more forceful way than we are seeing in Ukraine out of self-interest, integration is key to how much effort others are willing to do to help.
It's also the reason why with talks of Ukraine going neutral, they are willing to put NATO on the table of not joining but they are not mentioning the EU because the EU is the real prize they want that more or less offers the same security and protection plus a lot of other benefits, the truth is, an attack on an EU and probably a NATO member could quickly escalate into a major war, something I highly doubt Russia is willing to do with its poor performance in Ukraine.
With all that said, Ukraine should try to join both the EU and NATO, every level of protection adds more security and stability to the region, NATO does have its uses but because some of the big members are far away from the conflict zone, it doesn't impact them as much, whereas the EU with a war on its door step, well all of a sudden, there's a much bigger incentive to intervene, the problem is, the EU is quite powerless to do much on the military front as it's mostly a national thing, thats a major problem because the members are pulling in all directions which is the weakness Putin plays on and it really makes me wonder if the EU had its own military and one voice, put 60,000 peace keeping troops in Ukraine before the war started that we could have prevented the war from starting, the US could have done the same but the reality is, they rarely care about things outside it's boarder, the EU being as the war is on its door step would likely intervene because no one wants a war zone on its door step, so basically, Putin is taking advantage of our division in Europe and not just Europe, but even the divisions the EU and US have shown over the last few years.
Very well said. We need the United States of Europe to defend ourselves from maniacs like Putin
What do you think that the Americans did after 9/11? Not invoke Article V?
I agree, the one thing NATO has over EU is it's military structure. NATO was build for war, the EU not so much.
The EU is also a mutual self-defense union. It’s not just NATO that is.
@@cultural-and-historical The EU has a military aspect, too. It’s all been negotiated in advance and it’s all there in the treaties, waiting to be activated. We are also allowed to use the NATO command structure for EU operations… that has also been negotiated in advance.
We are working hard behind the scenes to reduce our dependency on US equipment (from certain weapons to troop transport planes)… take a look at PESCO and Thierry Breton’s DG DEGIS for the public details.
You missed a few, the Dutch Belgium naval alliance and the UK Ireland memorandum on mutual defence.
The Poles and Germany had a shared heritage too
It would be great to add a link to the Nebula video so that it saves us time searching on it in the site itself, like other creators have done so.
Why is Finland on the map? Not a real country. It's historicly an Swedish territory.
Great video!
7:20 - there is a little mistake, you changed Czech republic with Romania 🤣, but I as a Czech guy forgive you. Great video ❤️
Hello Sir, which software do you use to create such beautiful layouts and contents?
Good one
2:14 While technically correct. It could/should be pointed out that this obligation to come to the fellow NATO state's aid does not require the member to do so militarily.
The wording of article 5 was chosen carefully in order to facilitate this. And is an important pretext to European leaders questioning whether the mutual protection provided by NATO is good enough.
Cyprus was invaded by a NATO member
3:48 While the hilarious irony of the chapter on the EU being overrun by the chapter on NATO is not lost on me.
It did mean that you didn't touch on article 42.7. Which is the direct equivalent of NATO's article 5!
And possibly even quite a bit stronger than the NATO article, is it forces every EU member to actually join the fight.
Unlike article 5, which leaves room to assist however the NATO member sees fit (so possibly not militarily).
Article 42.7 does not oblige EU members to join the fight because it allows for the neutrality of Ireland, Austria, Sweden and Finland.
@@redred7289 yes no direkt fight but
There, Art. 42(7) TEU stipulates that in the event of an armed attack on the territory of a Member State, the other Member States shall owe it all the aid and assistance in their power, in accordance with Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations [UN Charter]. Article 42(7) TEU also makes clear that obligations and cooperation in this area shall remain consistent with those undertaken within the framework of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO].
What are the consequences of invoking Art. 42(7) TEU?
The obligation to assist described in Art. 42(7) TEU clearly goes beyond the content of Art. 5 of the NATO Treaty. Indeed, Art. 5 NATO Treaty only requires a duty to render assistance that is deemed necessary, whereas Art. 42(7) TEU obliges Member States to do everything in their power. The use of armed force can therefore be demanded from the member state declaring an alliance situation by invoking Article 42 (7) TEU.
However, Art. 42(7) TEU does not offer a limitless obligation to assist. All measures must be taken in close coordination with the United Nations, since NATO's tasks and objectives under Article 42(7) TEU may not be impaired by the activation of the European mutual assistance clause.
Invoking Article 42(7) TEU also has the advantage of appealing to the solidarity of member states that are not members of NATO, such as Austria, Ireland, Sweden or Finland.
@@redred7289 well that's not completly true, the wording "all the aid and assistance in their power" would include joining the fight. The exceptions to that are only other international agreements or other specific reasions like historical/legal neutrality. It would seem strange if any EU country could bring forward such special reasoning.
Anyway it definitely should have been mentioned in the video.
your TLDR office is coming along quite nicely!
Swedish experts on the matter read through all of the agreements, every single one of the 18 we participate in. Not a single one specifically mentions anywhere that foreign troops would defend allied territory. They all only cover military training, data sharing, economical and lethal aid. Only NATO (of the avail "security" alliances) specifically states that direct military assistance is given to allies in case of an invasion.
As it should be! Nato should, in addition, require that member states not to enter into other mutual defense agreements, because otherwise it would be a de facto expansion of Nato, where other nato states don't have a say.
@@cat-.- yeah, but not really. If Turkey had an ally that was attacked, and Turkey had defend that country, NATO is not obligated to get involved and help Turkey.
Article 6 actually specify which territories not in Europe / North America are also covered like the Asian part of Turkey
Could we be given additional information about the polls, who conducted them and if they are reliable?
Finland and Sweden have had a de facto military alliance since the 1970's, when Sweden secretly had Draken fighter jets stored and ready to be flown to combat by Finnish pilots. Nowadays the navies and air forces share an integrated operational air and maritime picture. Troops, ships and aircraft train together around the year. After all, they will be geopolitically in the same boat if a war comes.
Even the Freemasonic Grand Lodges of Sweden and Finland allows each other to operate in each other's countries. There's definitely much integration between the two countries. After all there are Swedish speaking areas within Finland.
Good video
I cant find the Europes true leader video on youtube or Nebula, which channel is it on?
There is an alliance between Turkey and Azerbaijan with mutual defense. A declaration of war against Azerbaijan is also an attack against Turkey and vice versa. Turkey also is the guaranteer of the independence of TRNC, which is a de facto state.
There are also alliances between Russia and some former Soviet republics, especially the Union State between Belarus and Russia.
There is also Anglo-Portuguese Alliance, which is the oldest active alliance in the world.
Imagine a German Council (similar to the Nordic Council) between the Federal States of Germany, and Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Austria

If there'a enough mistakes, I guess it'd be best to pull the video and post the corrected video? Listing all mistakes as well within it.
There is also something called Central European Defense Cooperation (CEDC), interestingly, between the former Habsburg states Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, Croatia and Slovenia.
Can we get a date for the Daily Breifing reboot?
I am on Nebula but can't find these exclusive videos, what am I doing wrong?

Have you done a video on the 1994 Budapest Memorandum?
I can't be the only one who's getting ww1 flashbacks.
Interesting
Your pronunciation of Visegrad made me think of the empty-heads in bottom English at school. Interesting vid though.
At 4:43, don't be too hard on yourself, the brain tends to freeze somet
There is a mistake. You put Romania into "Visegrad" instead of Czeh republic on the map into the group.
Why almost every episode on this channel has errors in the maps?
It would be worth including information about Russia's Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) that offsets NATO. It's rarely mentioned.
You still missed Bukurest's 12, solely a defensive alliance.
The lines all over the place are pretty confusing. Wouldn't it be easier to list the countries in a grid and use ticks or crosses to show what organisations they are part of
You forgot that Switzerland has to protect Lichtenstein
4:41 I'm somewhat saddened to learn this channel uses talking heads just like the mainstream media.
Jef alliance might be my new favorite alliance.
I didn't notice NORAD on the list
There is also Eurozone and Schegen
Isn't Eurozone just an inner EU pact sharing the currency?
The time stamps have been mislabeled as one ahead. eg, the Nordic one is labeled "Visegrad Group"
7:27 - Romania is not the Czech Republic
Why does you "blue map" @ 3:03 not have the UK as a NATO member?
Given the acknowledged blunder in this video, you really need to change your teleprompter font to something which makes a number 1, a capital "i" and a lowercase "L" distinct.
You really messed up that map multiple times lol

It is heartening to see, in spite of the current situation, how unified Europe has become compared to, say the 30 years war. Then a quick glance at the comments.
You mised some other Baltic security treaties between themselves and other countries.
OMGGGG there are so many thing you didn't mention, and so many things you mentioned that are wrong....also there is the 3 seas initiative, that was a economic, and cultural initiative, until the croatian president(some blonde woman) meet with her Polish counterpart, and overnight it became a military alliance of some sort...the Vicegrad is slowly being integrated into the 3 seas initiative
There are a lot of small mistakes in this video when it comes to the visuals. Apart from that, good video
Benelux? Why wasn't this mentioned?
2:44 was Portugal kicked out of nato or something??

There is also an informal military alliance between the UK and Ireland where The UK promised to intervene if war breaks out in Ireland.
On which side?
Please use realistic maps when illustrating complex topics. The simplified map is very confusing.
This is looking a lot like the treaty mess before ww1
I feel the map got wrong time by time
NATO without UK,
Viseguard confusion between Czeckia and Romania...
btw Ireland is in the Nordic Council one
... and looks like it is building an air combat capability.
Also, there are the unofficial alliances for microstates. Spain & France for Andorra. Italy for San Marino...
In the not too distant past NATO had the ACE Mobile Force, which, with supporting air, could deploy quickly to any threatened flank, as a demonstration of NATO resolve. I've lost track of what has replaced it.
You've got mistake on your map. While you're saying that Czech Republic is part of Visegrad group your map shows Romania.
It's Visergrad, not "wise guard"
He says it more like "vice".
why did you show romanian in v4?
Error at 7:25 "Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, & Slovakia." Yet, the map diagram on video shows a line to Romania, & not the Czech Republic.
You've made some mistakes in labeling countries, e.g., labelling Romania instead of Czechia.
