If Russia invades Ukraine, would we press the button? If Russia invades Moldova, would we press the button? If Russia invade Geórgia, would we press the button?
The fact is that Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova were part of the Russian empire for several centuries and they will be that again if they want to survive the current economic crisis.
@@Irina_89user-zl7ve2wp2e Finland and (part of) Poland were part of Russia. It proves nothing. If it did, Russia should beg to go back to the Tatar yoke. There is no crisis which necessitates Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine to be annexed by Russia. The only current crisis was created by the Russian regimes' attempts on Anschluss.
@@thiagodeandrade7081 The global economic crisis began a few years ago. This is due to the collapse of the world's dollar system. Only those states that have real resources will survive. Neither Ukraine, nor Moldova, nor Georgia, nor the European Union have them.
@@Irina_89user-zl7ve2wp2e The crisis of the dollar dates back to Nixon at the earliest. Most recents crises have either been wethered like the 2008 one or are of Russia's regime own making (the war on Ukraine) or are local/structural issues (deindustrialization in Europe and the USA) with little to do with the dollar. Countries like South Korea, China and Japan seem to be faring much better than Russia despite their relative lack of resources. Same for the European Union, all things considered. Russia has plenty of resorces, but keeps wasting it just as it did under the czars and under the commissars.
@@thiagodeandrade7081 Unfortunately, you have little understanding of the causes of economic crises and their connection with the dollar system (for example, the war in Ukraine is a consequence of the crisis, not a cause). The deindustrialization of the United States is a consequence of the hegemony of the dollar. Russia has practically no public debt. On the contrary, it was robbed by Western countries of $300 billion. At the same time, Japan, South Korea, the European Union, and Great Britain are in horrendous debts. The European Union will be eaten by the States, it is for this that the United States has unleashed a war in Ukraine since 2014. This winter, Europeans will pay dearly for gas, oil and heating after the New Year, but next year they will be left without them at all. And I don't feel sorry for them, because they support Ukrainian fascists, followers of Hitler's collaborators Bandera and Shukhevych.
Every few years, things start to happen, which reminds me of an episode of Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister. And I was born in a different country, more than twenty years after the last season. Great TV-show, with great writing and great actors.
February 26, 2022, Russian troops invaded Ukraine, have complete control of the air, have entered Kyiv, and Putin is making oblique threats to use nuclear weapons if Western nations take action against him.
I am watching after @wangzhi1948 0秒钟前 I came back when America invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Republic of Haiti, Lebanon, Honduras, Kosovo, North Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Liberia, Cuba, Somalia, Dominia, Yemen, Bosnia and Herzegovina
@@wangzhi1948 oh really? And what did you do after russia murdered 40000 Chechen people, invaded Georgia, Moldova, annexed Crimea, invaded eastern part of Ukraine in 2014 and started full-scale invasion in Ukraine?
Funny enough I saw this so long ago and it didn't occur to me that we could be using the same against russia. Case and point the so called "red lines" the UA war. Now Ukranians are in Kursk and they have F16s. Next they will probably get authorisation to use ATACMS
The nuclear option only defends the one who can press it. Who is going to risk destruction of their entire country just to defend the sovereignty of another?
It's now 2023, western support for Ukraine started with Javelins and NLAWs, progressed to humvees and MRAPs, then field artillery, then HIMARS, then tanks, now we're poised for F-16s. Turns out the Russians aren't the only ones who can use salami tactics :)
for last decades,half the world was keeping reminded by American bomb and army,but since all you can see is Putin,I guess it's fine,just the world is much bigger than you think.

@@wangzhi1948 Do you view americans helping south korea after being invaded the same as ruzzia invading a sovereign country and stealing ukrainian children, imagine if the US didn't help south korea, they would've lived under the north korean regime instead of thriving. Do you know the reasons why the US was involved with these countries? or is any intervention bad?
My parents loved Yes Minister and I did too when I got old enough to understand it. Just magnificent comedy/satire. It's quite amazing how little has changed too hehe.
@@alexanderpetrov1171 Ukrainians protested against an oligarch who back tracked on closer relations with Europe, who resorted to gunning down protestors, which caused protestors to demand that he be removed form office. How was any of this Salami tactics? I don't know how anyone who has any idea of whats going on in Ukraine as anything other than the Russians doing salami tactics, as seen with the recent escalation
So this clip is relevant again in 2022
Today it's getting interesting to watch this. 👀
Sadly, yes.
Hmmmmmmm

Who's watching this in 2022?
yep :( I notice the laughter kind of trailed off as he played out the scenario...
Ah. Seems like people are pressing the button

How can we defend ourselves by commitig sucide......Truth

In February and March 2014, Russia invaded and subsequently annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine. Here we are again salami tactics.
It's now 2023, western support for Ukraine started with Javelins and NLAWs, progressed to humvees and MRAPs, then field artillery, then HIMARS, then tanks, now we're poised for F-16s. Turns out the Russians aren't the only ones who can use salami tactics :)
@@Werrf1 This is exactly what I am thinking. Ukraine is now allowed to strike within Russia near Kharkiv. Soon they will be allowed to strike anywhere
Coming here from 2024, and this has never been more relevant.
Yeah. Funnily enough it was used against USSR.
I was reminded of this when Putin walked into Crimea ...
for last decades,half the world was keeping reminded by American bomb and army,but since all you can see is Putin,I guess it's fine,just the world is much bigger than you think.
@@wangzhi1948world is big, but The Shithole (aka russia) is acting exactly like this lol
Salami tactics is not a joke. The chinese are doing it in the himalayas. This show predicted the future.

Ukraine is now one slice of that salami we are watching Putin munching on.
Nope. Maidan was salami. Russia's reaction was the button.
@@alexanderpetrov1171 The button being Polonium?

I thought this was written today. It was prescient.
