This is honestly the most helpful video on understanding the “why” of the situation I’ve yet seen. Fantastic work!
@dimasbram And using your Russian Putin logic, since Putin invaded a peaceful ally of NATO and NATO didn’t help defend Ukraine, Russia proved to be a bigger threat to NATO than NATO is to Russia. So your logic would mean that NATO would be right to invade Belarus since Russia actually staged an invasion from Belarus?
Too bad it’s all wrong. It’s about Putin’s clinging to power and nothing else.
Ukraine fought & won for a new leader, Putin panicked. Putin’s “term” is up in 2024, and he’s done some dirty dealings to get the wealth he has. He’s in all or nothing mode at this point.
Yup
Let’s take a moment to appreciate RLL and his hard work. This is fantastic research and very informative. Bravo sir
Money can make people do stuff, so do women.
@Деннис Чернышевский ukrainian trolls r so funny 😀
@BL I am not ukrainian. Most Russians are against the war but if you go out in public you get locked up and your life ruined
“She shouldn’t of worn that dress”
Putin probably
Let’s start with honest reporting. It’s the US that wants it. However, Ukraine was Russia friendly, so they (the US) started a media campaign, toppled a DEMOCRATICALLY elected president in Ukraine, disenfranchised the ethnic Russian population and they rebelled. Then, the US seducing the Ukrainian people, just as it had tried with Belarus, and Georgia, talked pretty to them and dangled the carrot of the EU or NATO membership. This, violated the NATO agreement with Russia that NATO would not expand into Russian border countries. All was peaceful until NATO began expanding and neglecting the agreement. NATO went for Georgia, Belarus , Poland and Ukraine. So, if you’re the Russian president trying to protect your country, what’s your next move…YOU FINALLY RETALIATE! Especially when your Oil lines already go through Ukraine, and the US won’t approve Nordstream 2. Make no mistake, the last thing the US want’s is for Ukraine to have it’s own pipelines and Russia to have another. The US doesn’t want to lose it’s influence in Europe because China has already encroached on 40%!
Honestly, I don’t know what to say. Words can never convey the horrors going on in Ukraine today, and I never expected these events to pass. I began making this video 5 weeks ago and I genuinely was not expecting the invasion to take place a few days ago. Once it did, I struggled with whether or not I should still release this, and ultimately decided that it still offered valuable perspective and went ahead. My heart and full support is with the Ukrainian people, and the Russian people who did not want this war.
слава україні!
This is a massive eye-opener for me, thank you 💙
They ONLY way for to invade is include national communism a in their politocs as well!..
@The GD Jordan attention seeker
Why won’t NATO agree on Putin demands, they seem reasonable
I am from Belarus and currently living in Russia. Maybe this will be shocking for you, but I am almost sure that no one of the usual citizens in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus knows about all of that! Either they know, but not speak about it at all. Everything we are told is that Nato developing on the east is dangerous for Russia and that Russia’s “demilitarization” operation gone far beyond as soon as regular houses and kindergardens were shot. Really, me, and no one of my friends in all these three countries didn’t know about all the reasons you listed here. Thank you! Please, please, can you make russian subtitles?
UPD: to all the people doubting I am from Belarus just check my channel – in the video section you can see me there speaking russian. My mistakes in words may be seen because I am using Google Translator. I know subtitles don’t change much, i sent this video to several belarussian and ukrainian mass medias to check all this information and inform to people one more time that there are way more reasons beyound all of this than what we are told by tv, newspapers and internet users themselves. The more you know – the more chances you have to save yourself and your mental state.
Taking this opportunity, I want to say that all Belarusians are very hurt by the fact that all of Ukraine sees us as traitors. This is very painful. I personally live every day with a sense of shame and guilt. Lukashenka has once again dishonored our country, and this time more than ever before. I want to say that Belarusians go out into the streets, fight against what is happening in every possible way, but you know our country – everyone, even women and children, who go out into the streets are twisted up and put in a paddy wagon, and after that you can’t contact or recognize the date and place of the trial. I feel in such a way that Ukraine is now fighting not only for itself, but also for the future of countries that can repeat its path – Belarus, Finland and other countries. Ukraine is fighting not only for itself, but also for the future of all neighboring countries without Putin. Even if Belarusians are imprisoned, and our guys are already being sent to Ukraine (i know that in city of Baranowichi people of military age receive subpoenas, and I am sure a lot of them if will be sent to Ukraine – will fight for it, not against, as well as russian soldiers who didn’t even know why they were sent to Ukraine and now are fighting on it’s side), we will find ways to deal with this. Belarusians do not want to bear the shameful stigma of traitors, and we will not. We will fight.
That’s all i wanted to say, thank you for attention. Жыве Беларусь, Слава Украiнi.
@Belinda Short y
youtube is western imperialist propaganda, all pro russian views are censored.
the kindergardens were shot by ukrainian nazis to blame it on russia. russian forces are very politely advancing, they could also turn kiev in a 2nd grozny, but they dont. up till now it’s the most polite operation in human history, usa in iraq for example was much more violent.
THANK YOU. YOU SIR, ARE 1000% CORRECT.
@Mitsubishi Dion You’re the Karen.
Bro you’ve explained more in 30 minutes than hours and hours of news every could.. hope your channel keeps growing and more people use you a source on info keep it up. Ill recommend your channel to everyone
@Troma 333 Putin is bad, you goober.
@C Dawg If that small minority of Republicans stop acting like fascists, then they won’t be called that. Not that hard to comprehend, now is it?
@D B Read before replying. People in America get Called Racist/Nazi just for being on the right and just right not extreme right. Not because of any other reason.
The news is not there to explain or inform. It’s there to tell you what to think.
The informational war is very real and serious.
People should know the media can’t be trusted at all.
Hey my brother with all do respect, unless you are part of this channel to MIS-inform people, It took 30 minutes of this video to completely convince you? (brainwash you?). Please allow me to get you the REAL truth. Check Out Jimmy Dore on Rumble, then do more research and you’ll see that this channel is what you just saw on this channel is 100% FALSE. Real Eyes Realize Real Lies God Bless
This was excellent. You really looked at so many different facets of what could be fueling this conflict.
RUSIA vs UKRAINA
(dalam versi sinetron drakornya agar mudah dimengerti)
Saya yakin semua orang bingung. Jika versi berita Rusia vs Ukraina terlalu rumit, disarankan untuk membaca versi sinetron drakornya 👇
Cerita ini dimulai lebih dari 20 tahun yang lalu, Ukraina (istri) menceraikan mantan suaminya (Rusia), dan atas kesepakatan bersama, beberapa anak menjadi miliknya.
Mantan suaminya juga sangat akomodatif padanya dan meninggalkan banyak harta keluarga untuknya. Setelah itu, mantan suaminya juga melunasi lebih dari $200 miliar utang untuknya.
Setelah menyingkirkan mantan suaminya, Ukraina mulai bergaul dengan para begundal dan mulai tergoda oleh seorang kepala preman (AS) dan sekelompok anak buah preman tersebut (NATO) sampai dia benar-benar dalam pelukan mereka. Sang mantan suami tidak peduli terhadap kelakuan mantan istrinya, tapi sikap sang mantan suami mulai berubah karena merasa terganggu ketika para preman tersebut mulai memanfaatkan mantan istrinya untuk mengancam dan berniat mengkerdilkan dirinya serta merebut hartanya di desa tersebut.
Sang mantan suami mulai marah dan sebagai peringatan pada mantan istrinya, dia mengambil kembali salah seorang anak mereka : Krimea.
Sang mantan istri mulai menyimpan dendam dan mimpi. Dia ingin menikah dengan keluarga preman (NATO) dan bermimpi suami barunya nanti akan membalas dendamnya ke mantan suaminya. Namun kepala preman dan keluarga preman menolak untuk menikahinya. Dia hanya digunakan mereka untuk memprovokasi mantan suaminya.
Melihat kelakuan ibu mereka yg semakin melunjak, dua anak mereka (Donetsk dan Luhansk) ingin keluar dari rumah ibunya, tidak mau lagi tinggal bersama ibunya. Mereka memohon pada ayahnya untuk mengeluarkan mereka dari rumah ibunya.
Kepala preman dan keluarganya terus-menerus mendorong sang mantan istri untuk berani melawan mantan suaminya. Sebagai tanda dukungan, mereka terus mengirim senjata-senjata usang dan amunisi kadaluarsa (yg sudah tidak mereka pakai lagi) agar sang mantan istri memiliki keberanian untuk bertengkar dengan mantan suaminya. Mereka juga memberi janji akan membelanya dalam pertikaian ini.
Karena terus menerus diprovokasi, sang mantan suami akhirnya bertindak mengambil kembali dua anaknya yg memohon untuk dibebaskan dari rumah ibunya (Donetsk dan Luhansk).
Sang mantan istri mengira ia mempunyai backing yg kuat, namun ternyata ketika sang mantan suami sudah benar-benar murka dan menyerang, para preman justru bersembunyi, hanya berkoar-koar mencaci sang mantan suami dan mengajak seisi desa memusuhi sang mantan suami.
America an nato fueled this conflict. Do ya research
Indeed great work,but one vital angle is missing. NATO and EU interests. They supported anti-russian protests and consistently invested money into further fall out of Ukraine from alliance with Russia. I guess they also want their gas and better access to Russian borders.
This video was completely false. U.S. besides EUROPE, wants to topple Russia and THE E.U. & N.A.T.O. do also. THEY ALL WANT RUSSIA’S ENERGY. NATURAL GAS. N.A.T.O. wants Countries to join so that they are the biggest bullies, have the biggest ARMY in this planet. Check out the Jimmy Dore Show on Rumble. He’ll tell US the TRUTH. Thanks. Real Eyes Realize Real Lies
@Rogue Trooper chill, this is just looking at this conflict from a neutral position and listed the biggest reasons why Russia are invading Ukraine. This video didn’t include NATO and the U.S perspective because the purpose of the video is just that
Super excited to hear this. Nice to have a less biased view of the situation – hard to come by these days! Signed up via your link as well 🙂 My girlfriend who is super into documentaries will also be happy, win/win 🙂
So basically – the Cold War never stopped! It was just contained for 30 years, but was still bubbling under the surface. The ‘frontline’ has just shifted from Germany to Ukraine. So interesting, and kudos to you for explaining everything so neutrally and insightfully!
@roflmatol bottom line is, if Russia wanted Ukraine on their side, maybe they should’ve been a nice neighbor and work together, instead of treating them like they did. This is all the response of a butthurt kid of a president that can’t accept the other don’t want to play with him when he’s being a bully.
@Alin Stoian The reality is that Putin was cornered into an unwinnable position by NATO, and the West pulling Ukraine away from Moscow’s sphere of influence. Russians see Ukrainians as brothers, and would much rather not have to resort to this.
NATO gave Russia security guarantees that were reneged upon, and not doing anything as Ukraine pulled themselves closer and closer to NATO would have been seen as weakness.
@roflmatol I hate when people like you say “don’t swallow whatever your media says” when your incredibly biased views shows blatant russian propaganda.
If you had a more balanced and nuanced view I would be more inclined to believe you but this just screams state media propaganda.
@xt osu Please point out what part of what I said is factually incorrect
@Mike Pastor. K sadly, America is too like this. Every superpower is a mad elephant and America leads them.
The problem is that everyone has pain for the white not for the all.
America invaded Iraq (merely on speculations), iran, libya. Were they children of lesser God?
West was sleeping all this time. The only time west has awaken is the time when the war is at their own doors.
Now suddenly world is in danger. Even the two world wars before were the product of the west shoved on the whole world. NUKES too are American invention and yet it becomes too dangerous for other countries to have it unless it is America or one of its allies.
This shows exactly why energy independence is not only essential from the perspective of the envornment but also for the national security of countries all over the world.
@egg With fossil fuels, that’s definitely true as they’re all global commodities. Yet another reason why we need to develop clean & renewable energy sources and we need to do it yesterday.
@savioblanc Got some big news for ya. With fossil fuels, there’s no such thing as energy independence because they’re all global commodities and sold on the world market.
yes and here in germany we want to go green, shut down coal and almost all nuclear, now run on brown coal and gas wich half of it comes from russia, some solar and some wind but no infrastructure to get it around were its needed or store it for times the sun isnt shining or the wind blowing…now we make sactions against russia and stop buying gas so we will sit in the dark and freeze in a few weeks cause goverment is full of people without any sense of reality…oh and we already got the highest prices for electricite prior to that…so nope unless you got your own small plot of land and provide for yourself you are more or less screwed here…
@je19662008 energy independence doesnt mean no global trade.
Being energy independent means not having to solely rely on a foreign nation or nations to meet your energy needs
@Nathan Torres LOL these comments. Still fk Russia though.
Great video and very informative! I tried to explained this to my parents but they blamed me for being pro-russian and that i want war in Ukraine. No, i don’t want that, i was just trying to point out the reasons. Subjectively, from both perspectives.
Objectively: anti-human Putin and his oligarchs are assaulting Ukraine to obtain power and energy.
Putin does not represent Russians. Putin represents only himself and anti-human oligarchs.
Putin isn’t what you think he is.
Thank you for this. Sensationalism sells, which tends to lead to a void in content. Everyone is focused on WHAT is going on, and in that environment, media has failed to explain WHY it is going on.
I think this video also serves as a pretty good prediction on what is being talked about in the current cease-fire negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. The results of those talks will likely be the greatest insight we ever get into what Putin was thinking with this invasion.
This just shows how complex world conflict really is, and how a small difference in perspective completely changes one’s reality
@Clayne151 In other word, the real benefit from this war is USA and China. Especially USA, no one in Europe, both Russia or Ukraine benefits from this war.
@Clayne151 with Putin , NATO =USA and his pawns
@Hồ Phương Nam Nguyễn The USA has absolutely nothing to gain in attacking Russia. Those missile shields won’t change that, ONE missile coming through would be too high a price for anything to pay.
And the European countries would not allow them to attack Russia over their territory. NATO is a defensive treaty after all, there would be no obligation to do that even if anybody thought that would be a good idea.
Im not saying the USA are the good guys, they have started their share of conflicts over oil und stuff.
But the age of oil is ending, nowadays they are just playing the stupid “whack the terrorist” game. Which also has absolutely no connection to Russia.
@Clayne151 nah they have and it actually big, get rid of Russia out of global power so their only real opponents is China. Who with Russia fall is surround on the north .
@Clayne151 nato is a “defensive “treaty , yeah how long since the last time war on nato nation? Yugoslavia is not Nato and nato attack and well they broke into 6 pieces, same with lybia, Iraq and Afghanistan. I don’t know but most of nato war is on non Nato country, how is it defensive?
Thanks for providing context to the background on WHY this area is now being contested by Russia. It was absolutely great and thanks for the research!! Cheers
Это нужно зараспространить! СРОЧНО!
Это действительно невероятно чёткое объяснение многих вещей!
Это только побочная экономическая часть вопроса, политическую часть автор решил умолчать.
@dushasЕсли политическая — НАТО и т.д. так он осветил ..О чем ” умолчал”?
@KhZina умолчена вся 30-ти летняя роль США с её расширениями нато, в разрез обещаний и цветные революции устроенные из вне по всей границе рф, что собстевнно и явлется умолченой причиной конфликта.
Эта экономическая часть это второстепенный интерес, бонус к первопричине.
Сейчас смотрел лекцию дядьки, дал хронологию событий которые к этому привели по подробнее. Посмотрите если интересно “Scott Horton Speech on the History Behind the Russia-Ukraine Crisis SLC, Utah 2/26/22”
@dushasНе обольшаюсь насчет США , но вы сильно преувеличиваете их роль , они лишь подхватывали и поддерживали уже существующие тенденции .Но то что можно было не доводить до конфликта и договариваться с Путиным – это да .
its amazing, yet also kinda depressing that i wait to know “whats really going on” until a youtuber i trust posts world news. and rather than just spamming headlines for the attention, this is a 30 min need to know about not just what is happening, but why. you’d think corporate news could learn a thing or two from this. this is proper journalism.
Because money is always the solution to make people follow.
For example Fox News usually announces putin as the good guy.But right when putin invaded they changed their mind.
AKA those who trust them,(us) will now consider them as bad people.
Funny how so many people have formed solid opinions on this situation based on 130 character tweets. I’m Grateful for your work!
As someone who was entirely clueless of what to make of this current event, you single handedly gave me great insight. Amazing video. You are concise, your graphics are perfect, and you offer both objective points and subjective opinions fantastically.
Can you please continue to make videos as things unfold? You’ve 100% landed me as a new subscriber.
Unless you are also a fake, check out Jimmy Dore on Rumble. If you are truly an honest person which i HOPE you are, Then you’ll agree that this here channel, is TOTALLY FALSE.
Amazing research and analysis! It is definitely one of the most informative and clear explanations possible.
I’m from Ukraine, people here are well-informed. But I have many friends in Russia and Donetsk who aren’t and who don’t know English to watch this video. It would help Ukraine a lot if more people become aware of what and why is going on.
Please let me know, would it be acceptable if I make russian subtitles for this video so that you can add it here?
(not sure how it works on YouTube)
Then we’ll be able to spread it among lots of people, it can make a difference nowadays. Hope for your understanding and thanks for awesome content!
Great atittude if u ask me. Well done mate
For the past what, 8-10 years? didn’t Ukraine bombed Donetsk & Luhansk mercilessly and murdered Tens of thousands of Innocent Russian men, women & children? and the media remained quiet? FACT: N.A.T.O. & The E.U. Needs Russia’s Natural Gas Energy. So, what do they do? They build up a REALLY BIG BULLY (ARMY), Get many Countries to join, Then Topple other Governments, Then STEAL Their RESOURCES. No other country will be strong enough to protect itself. This isn’t about Ukraine, THIS IS ABOUT stealing Russia’s Natural Gas That Supplies Germany & ALL Of Europe. Ukraine, Georgia, Crimea is Part of Russia isn’t it? So, here’s the truth; Real Eyes Realize Real Lies
It’s a gorgeous analytical analysis of this situation! And I hope, someday, there also would be NATO and Ukranian points of view videos on youtube as well.
Such educational materials have greater affect on stopping this “democracy war” (denationalisation, whatever that means, is one of two official main purposes of war) then screams “Peace to Ukraine. Death to Putin etc.”, I think.
When people know reasons and goals of all sides, they can create mottos inspiring combotants to stop execute felonious orders, kind of that also could be heeded by government, because of its’ reasonableness.
Now I see only hypocrites in my country that cares only about their wealth. They are screaming about peace and provoking people to go to meetings with requirements never could be acknowledged without arguments. It is just like Russian requirements to NATO. Furthermore they never go themselves.
