- Russia has organized 30 international-wannabe events in 2024. Why is it trying to look important so desperately?

Nero was not as bad as people think he was. Most of the Nero hate came from his enamies who replaced him and produced a lot of propaganda which served as post hoc justification to replace the first Roman Imperial dynasty the Julians.
Caligula one of his predecessors was much worse.
Konstatin, I am an American that found your channel a little while ago. Love your in depth analysis about what is actually going on in Russia. Thank you so much for bringing us the real news with an objective look. I hope one day the Russian people can truly be free from a corrupt system
serious question, is this objective?
@@vornnachn8156 he deals with the facts objectively , his opinions of the facts, he has discovered are subjective
hope that helped
Russia could be one of the most visited country's in the world, because of it beautifully architecture, landscape, and it's amazing dive.rsity, only for it rulers don't seem to want to see there country and its people ,prosper, I'm from Ireland and it's one country I've always wanted to visit, only ye afraid of being kidnapped for any money ye have, lol lol😂😂😂😂
russian media crowing about putin's visit to North Korea is one of the most comically bizarre things I have ever seen.
yee it was specialy wen thouse tow drive in a parade on a german mercedes tha was top ;)
@@paulomarques1976pt Yeah the general lack of self-awareness of russians is very amusing. They some oblivious to the fact the world is laughing at them.
That's exactly right: Russia is small compared to the EU and the US except for the landmass which is mostly unproductive.
Yep. 💯👍
Germany alone has Double economic Power. EU might be Like 20 Times more
The Chinees like to take a bid off Russian land in the east.
GDP is less than the state of Texas
Russia is rich in natural resources, but most of the land mass is basically uninhabitable.
If anything the war in Ukraine has shown Russia has lost it's superpower status, their army is clearly not as impressive as one might have thought before the war started.
Only if you follow the war as it's been misrepresented to us from the start. Nearly every narrative told to us by our media and pro-Ukraine commentary has been a lie.
If you do some research you'll find that what Russia is doing, and how they're doing it is very smart and will lead to victory. They will win. There's literally nothing Ukraine can do to win.
The biggest criticism Russia gets from us is the slow pace of the frontline and each battle.
This is a perfect example of our overall misunderstanding.
Also keep in mind that Ukraine's military is very good. Not so much anymore, but when Russia went in Ukraine had by far the best military in Europe. If you took the US out, the entirety of Europe's NATO military could not have taken over Ukraine.
Russia hasn't been a superpower since 1991
Russia hasn't been a superpower since 1991
They still have a blue water navy including missile subs, and long range bombers, and ICBMs, and that sort of thing. Their army though, OMG... mercenaries in mad max vehicles?! Imagine if the US took 2 years to move their army 15 miles further into Iraq, and lost half a million soldiers during the first half of that war.
But then again, we don't know in what state their blue water navy, bomber force and ICBM's really are outside paper.
That attitude reminds me a lot to East Germany (where I grew up), which always wanted to be the "greatest DDR in the world" (old GDR joke) and spent a fortune of precious hard currency for paricipating in thousands of useless international congresses, partly inside partly outside East Germany, only to make the own poeple believe that their country was internationally respected. Thank you , Konstantin, for this stream!
@@horatiowinterbottom1158 Fake it till you break it
I understand why Russia is desperately trying to appear important and normal. What I do not understand is why. They are only delaying the inevitable collapse of the Russian Federation and assuring that it will be far worse for their people than it needs to be.
Great nations do not negotiate with terrorists.
Forget Nero... Putin is more like Bigus Dickus from Monty Python's 'Life Of Brian' 😅
Wewease Bwian!
Putin will play the fiddle while Moscow burns.
"WE ARE THE KNIGHTS THAT SAY KNEE!"
He has a wife you know, Incontinentia Buttocks.
Putin will play the fiddle while Moscow burns.
Did that lone Russian at the BRICS games pass a drug test? 😂
💥💥💥
Not sure how he could go up sober
Obviously he did. They were informed what not to test for. It was RuZZia after all.
@@felixalbion No, he didn't, but got the silver medal, which is very good in that extremely demanding test.
I'd like to see the organisers try to pass a drug test.
“Friendship” games 🤢🤮
Is that a euphemism for trying to eradicate your neighbour with a genocidal war?
Clever.
And true.
That's it! To the freedom cage, with you!
Been going on....
Is Russia inviting Ukraine?
When was the last time Putin said "Everything is going according to plan"?
I havent hear him say that in 2024....I guess he thought people would believe him in 2022 and 2023....but the special operation has been a big failure and everyone knows it now....
Konstantin there is 1 open and standing invitation for Vladimir Putin come to The Hague in front of the international Court they will send an Uber to pick you up freely give you a nice shiny set a silver bracelet luxurious room and board " COME WE DARE YOU " ❗🤔🤷🏼🤗😉😂
Thank you again K. ❤ When I first saw some pictures of the BRICS alternative Olympics, I thought is was a joke. For real. It is actually sad and pathetic.
The NarcOlympics or the Dope Games, drug use is mandatory.
Ah, the BRICS games, where the medals were participation trophies.
They don´t even bother to fake competition
@@larzkruber822the participation trophies were house bricks ???
The medals were chocolate..
LOL, that tennis crowd. I saw an old lady trip today and a bigger crowd formed around her.
Well, Russia has 11% of the world's land mass, over twice the area of the U.S. and Canada combined. This feeds into Russia's megalomania. Russia is simply too big.
agree. They have "we are the biggest" mentality. outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg living conditions are very basic or worse, most have no running water and toilets, mud roads and very poor conditions. I read the living standards on the outskirts of Moscow and St. Petersburg have been dropping since the war. Soon people may wake up and realize they can love their country but don't have to love their leader (dictator).
Yes it’s a large country but much of it is not very habitable
@@jennifercox576 For my taste Russia isn't habitable at all. I am into the taste of truth and justice with lots of freedom.
@@KEVINBAKERREALESTATE hopefully...it continues to be a long and difficult road for Russians to walk.
There's a famous quote in English 'Nero Fiddled While Rome Burned' the next will be 'Putin lied whilst Moscow, Burned, Flooded and Collapsed'
Not the Game of Thrones, but the Game of Clowns
There was a rebellion in Rome and Nero was forced to flee Rome and commited suicide.
Nero pushed things too far and paid for it. Hopefully, Putin will follow the same path of downfall.
And so shall it be again
Great vid Konstantin. Thanks.
@INSIDERUSSIA: JUST GOT BACK FROM VISITING MY GRANDSON FOR THE FIRST TIME. 7 LB 14 OZ. HE'S A KEEPER🎉🥳
@JeffreyS536. G'DAY JEFFREY AND A GREAT BIG CONGRATULATIONS !!! YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY MASTER !
❤️🙏👤🇨🇦
LARRY BARTH. 🇨🇦
❤❤❤❤
@JeffreyS536 THESE ARE THE SADDEST AND JOYS THAT JUST MADE ME DECIDE TO ALLOW A REFUGEE OR 2, TO MOVE INTO MY HOME IN FLORIDA USA. I want no money I want nothing but good friendship! I have alot of food and most things needed! I need nothing but quiet to work. If you know of anyone who needs a home temporarily...6 months POSSIBLY longer!
Concrats, Jeffrey S! ❤
@JEFFREYS536, WONDERFUL NEWS...HOPE MOTHER AND BABY ARE DOING WELL .❤
Russia already had bricks games before BRICS. It's called Tetris, and it's pretty amazing. They should've stuck with that.
Right on
I thought it said game of pricks, I thought that sounds right 😂
Game of pricks - good tune btw
It seems these days are the days of the worst leaders of most countries. We in Canada can see this.
@rickellis7312 True. My own country has such a terrible leader.
But you can vote him out
We hope the UK is changing the direction...
Change is our power as a people and don’t loose the right to vote and more over term limits. That is the first power move a dictator makes.
@@birgitlucci9419 True but who is in here has no where near half the people supporting him. More about back room deals in corruption and alliances.
Great analysis and loved the Nero Comparison!!
😂 BRICS = Trying to win Monopoly with hotel's on Old Kent Rd.
THANKS K . YOU ALWAYS SURPRISE ME WITH THE SUBJECTS OF YOUR STREAMS. YOU HAVE A GREAT WAY OF TEACHING ME SOMETHING NEW EVERY TIME. ❤️❤️❤️
always nice to see you in the live streams, I can't always make it, for me its nice to see usual suspects when I can. If I don't catch live I try to watch another time.
@@KEVINBAKERREALESTATE greetings my friend 🖐️
They called it (game of bricks) they should have changed the B…….!!!!! to a letter P pmsl 🤣
As usual, very informative, Konstantin.
I had one the other day, proclaiming russia as a superpower.
asked "you had an economy the size of italy. is italy a superpower? now, it is much smaller. you are no superpower. you are a paper mache bear that we were afraid of, only now it's raining and we see what you really are."
The fake importance is also for the Russian public , to distract them and give them a feeling of relevancy or normalcy.To a lot of people, image means more to them than reality because for them, reality sucks.It`s amazing how some people are easily manipulated.
@inside Russia please don't forget to pray for the single fathers that are struggling to raise their children right by themselves. I know plenty of men that put their children above everything and ended up raising them alone.
Russia, all show and no sustenance!
I feel so sad. I had hoped the destruction of the wall ment something
There is an expression in Australia to describe someone who was terrified.. "he was 💩ing bricks..." An understandable side effect of that pointless bloodbath..😐
Thank you, Konstantin.
The best thing in Soviet Union was the Circus. I visited it many times. Well, the ballet was good as well, though that was not for people who were not more equal than normal equal people.
The best thing in russia was spirited out of the country by my cousin. When he was building Oil Refineries in russia, he fell for a girl from the Ukraine and brought her home with him.
@@dr.williams5251 not from the Soviet Union but from Russia I took home one moscovieta and had two daughters with her
@@karilang93772 mini'moscovietas or just two small normal girls ?
@HNH421 Two small western girls were born
All that money and yet Putin can't supply food, water and other supplies to their soldiers. Good on one hand but sad on the other.
Amen
Keep up the great work Konanstin 😊
You can call for Nero, but Potemkin village is so russian.
Spaceships go...zoom!...zoom!....ZOOM!!!....so only fitting the BRICS Aerospace Conference is held on a Zoom meeting! BAHAHAHA!!! (so lame....so russian....)
Potemkin events. What is new is old.
Was just about to write that within "panem et circenses", bread has predominant importance over circuses and you Konstantin came exactly to that conclusion.
@@MarcoVadagnini Circenses ad nauseam.
Great analogy!
You're mistaken, for the Roman emperors it wasn't just the circus, but 'Panis et Circenses', which means Bread and Circuses. I don't think our Russian friend is considering the people's bread!
Aw, "Let them eat cake", no?
Bric(k)s game must be a synonym for Tetris.
Unfortunately there are two sides to propaganda. There is the propaganda that makes You think you have it better. Then there is the propaganda that makes you think They have it worse.
There once was an "International" car race in Russia. Only two cars entered: a Russian and an American. Naturally the American won. The Russian press reported: in the international car race held in .... the American car finished just second from last, wheras the Russian car finished in a very reputable second place.
Game of Brics! At 7:30 I finally realised. Lol!
BRICS+ (the 'plus' version of BRICs) is quite literally the 'poor relation' of the global economy. While BRICS+ has 45.77% of the global population, it only has 28.33% of the global GDP (and if it wasn't for China, it would be a rounding error in terms of global GDP). Given Russia and China's current demographic and economic issues, we may have already passed 'peak BRICs' in terms of BRICs' share of global GDP. The commentary has already switched from China's "economic miracle" and speculation as to when it might become the world's biggest economy, to discussion of China's economic problems, and whether it can now *ever* overtake the US economy, especially as the aging demographics start to bite in coming decades. One of the few positive outcomes of Russian invasion of Ukraine is the international response with economic sanctions on Russia has probably given China second thoughts about any future military action outside of mainland China. After all, the sanctions on Russia were limited by global reliance on Russia's oil, gas and food exports -- but China is a net importer of oil, gas and food, and it's economic success is largely dependent on exports (due to a limited domestic demand vs. capacity), so China would be even more badly hit if it ever came under even moderately severe economic sanctions. It will be interesting to see if things deteriorate amongst the BRICs economies, whether in-fighting between these 'friends without limits' starts to eventuate in coming years...
That Nero dude sounds like DJT with the show.
russia are not happy with chinees cars
They don't like chinese cars either 😉.
Would you be?
The make good land mines. Probably.
Oh, they are not THAT bad. But Chinese car vendors misunderstood when Putin was asking for more lemons. Or maybe they misheard and sent 'rogue cars' instead of 'rouge cars'
@@fredverkerk838 Today the chinese cars, tomorrow the chinese Czars.
Can't watch the games etc. if you have no electricity though.
😂 This episode is one of the best ever. If not the best. ❤from Finland🇫🇮, the worst enemy of Russia ever, according to Radio Kremlin.
Slogan,""perkeleen ryssä", were in the peoples mouth.
What have the Romans ever done for us, apart from the sanitation, the medcine, education, wine, public
order irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health....what have
the romans ever done for us?
Monty Python
Brought peace!
Hey Constantin you dyed your hair it makes you look so much younger and handsome! I love watching all your videos and I love all the news updates that you put out! Sending you and your wife and children love and greetings from the USA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well said, Constantine. Well said
The BRICS logo is five squares linked together. 😅
What I am afraid of is that Nero was not a good emperor, but there were even worse emperors.After him. At the end of the game Nero was not the worst one. I guess you understand what I am trying to let you think about the successors of Putinero.
Maybe they should have called it KRABS ?
Best wishes grandpa, the games were going to be sponsored by Lego.
I just found you on TH-cam and started to watch you and I truly feel your passion in your show. I love your show and I hope you will keep it free. I would subscribe or buy you a coffee but I am living on social security disability and I am terminally ill with stage 4 cancer so I can just barely, barely pay my bills and my medication. God bless you sir.
I'm from Knoxville, Tennessee
_Eli from Russia?_ Redhead Tatar with freckles 😊
I have been watching her traveling across the world. At some point she visited her own town and her family. She speaks several languages but she could not speak her mother tongue. She was speaking Russian with her family.
This was so disappointing that I stopped watching her channel.
Same here. She was very disappointing.
@@irenemulindwairen4138 Glad you see things the same way.
Wasn't her dad a Russian arny officer or something? There's something about her that makes me distrust her. Like she's sponsored by the Russian government. I can't work it out.
@@drc1247 I don’t know about her father but you are right. There was something about the videos. They were “too well done”, too perfect. She had some 500K followers when I saw her last time. At those numbers you can have your team of camera people, others who fly drones, etc. But her channel was interesting so I watched her until she went to her town of Ufa.
Stay strong Constantin! Thank you again.
If you haven't listen to Jake Broe last, you won't believe how many Russians soldiers were lost in Karkiv fir the short period they had fought there and a soldier saying is the last soldier of 300, left alone with corpses everywere( his word on a short video)
What's the value of life for Putin, a big O, and now he's asking for babies but how?
I think he will have to find not natural fertilizers😮
HI Konstantin Just Jimmy form the chat. Great stream as Always. I asked if I could mention a friends channel who is raising money for Emergency Med Kits for the Ukraine medics. They will save lives on both sides. She needs about another $500 but is struggling. No problem if it not allowed. Thanks for the info over the last few years 👍👍
Aw no, that one man competition winner, is he holding a cup of tea?
Aw shit there goes another victim
Trying to look big is a natural primitive threat response in the animal world. Some insects also use this tactic.
Usually it's a last line of defence.
A bit of humor;-)
Forum, in the Caribbean it's ForRum
So In Russia, it should be ForVodka😁
Keep laughing is good for you.
Best wishes
PS. I was going to email your pi colada from here in the beach in the Caribbean, watching the sun going down, however for some strange reason it has been disabled on this planet.
Work perfectly well on Star Trek 😋
Brics: that reminds me of the USSR propaganda, or (more exactly) a caricature of it.
I would love to see you compete in synchronised swimming by yourself with no other competitors and winning first place. The thought makes me laugh😅
You are one of these Russians I remember as friedly and warm people in the late 70th during my service in the field of electron microscop.
I wish You all the best for Your future,
Brilliant, Konstantin! Thank you
So Putin establishes himself as a world leader in the Global Village, except that in this case, it's a Global Potemkin Village. My, how things have progressed since the era of Nero; why, Putin has just caught up to the era of Catherine the Great.
I doubt he will be remembered as Vladimir the great...
@@Thelostgoldhunters Vladimir the Terrible? Or maybe Vladimir the Just Awful?
This is terrible, and sad.
Good on you
Who and what is---'BRICS',, Only heard tiny to nothing.
Brasil
Russia
India
China
South Africa
The original BRICS states.
New members are Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and United Arab Emirates.
The sad thing is I would watch the BRICS hockey tournament either way. I have been commenting for a year asking you to cover the war and mobilization’s impact on russian professional hockey. I have been following the russian/belarus khl but it would be interesting to see more info on it.
Children of Asia Games? So Russia is an Asian country? Given the "friendship without limits" is Mandarin going to be the official 2nd language???
In some areas it already is...
Actually, a huge chunk of Russia is in Asia.
@GrahamCStrouse The reply cuts directly to Putin, and his attempts at being a strongman leader. Given how poorly Russia is doing in Ukraine, Russia is going to be a periah, 100% reliant on China for survival rather than an active partner in a global community.
❤Keep praying, Konstantin! 😊
My yongest daughter studied in Portugal, a very nice country
@INSIDERUSSIA while Nero did do some bad stuff it needs to be kept in mind that he was the victim of a couple of roman historians who made him out to be bad, I'd argue there were Roman emperors who were far worse than he was.
The lack of water is also affecting cattle and poultry. The next trouble will be famine. Russia is experiencing the plagues: fire, flood, ice, draught, famine, soon disease and death...
6:51 The BRICS Games ran a trial where imaginary athletes from imaginary countries could compete, in an attempt to increase attendance. Of course, this resulted in official attendance records and results becoming inconsistent, not only because the officials struggled to find them, but also because some of the imaginary countries had country codes that clashed with real-world countries, including those Russia considered "unfriendly".
I dident see bricks🤔🤣.but congratulations to The man From Russia winning 😂😂😂
BRICKS organisation
Bravo on the Emperor Nero comparison, great stream today bud👏
Bread and circuses, without the bread...
Keep up the good work
How funny would it be if the US Embassy protested that singer's protest by closing. Nothing sends a message like packing up and leaving lol.
I like this guy.
Lol the very example of the meme
BRICS: "we have sports at home"
Thanks for posting this video
This channel provides a perspective and insight that 1) I did not know about and 2) is very interesting, presented in a relaxed and easy to listen to style. Especially impressive the way “unusual Russian” speaks continuously at length with no chopped editing. This episode “How Small Russia Is Desperately Trying To Look Big” is a fascinating look into the hall of mirrors that the state attempts to implant into the people’s minds. One wonders what proportion of the population actually lives in this reality, probably a good many. George Orwell would be impressed (and depressed).
That's a really funny take-- compete in the event where you're the only one! Good one Konstantin lol!
Our small Native American tribe has zoom meetings with a lot more people than that! We just had a small meeting today with 3 more people than that. 🤦🏻♀️
Be careful of windows my friend
I love your videos! ❤ thanks for keeping us informed. Stay safe.
I enjoy your irony and sarcasm because you aren't as bitter as many who use sarcasm/irony. Your good heart makes it more fun to listen to your analysis of Russia today. Thank you for making your point of view accessible. I learn a lot and it gives me insight on my country, USA, as well.
Sadly for Rome 3.0, there is no Vespasian waiting in the wings to take over from Putin's Nero.
The BRICs Games causes me to remember how important the Olympics used to be to the Russians and how great their gymnasts and skaters and hockey team was.
When I think of russia in the Olympics I just think of the drug enhancing and cheating.
