Does PUTIN want to create his own EUROPEAN UNION? - VisualPolitik EN

Let’s fix the news. Together.

The Soviet Union disappeared around Christmas 1991. But did your family never argue at Christmas parties? I’m sure they did.

That’s similar to what the Kremlin thinks, “family is still family”. This explains why, in recent years, Russia has tried to become more Mother Russia than ever, and has gathered four other former Soviet republics to create the Eurasian Economic Union: Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia.

Now, what exactly is the Eurasian Economic Union? How much does Russia pull the strings? And even more importantly: Can it become a community similar to the European Union? We’ll tell you all about it in this video.

We asked for the bald guy, we got a bald guy....

This channel requires a british accent, glasses, terrible shirt, and baldness.

Technically, the Baltic republics weren’t consensual members of the USSR. They were invaded and occupied during WWII. They were considered occupied territories by the UK, US and other western states. Thus they didn’t secede from the USSR at the end of the Cold War, they regained their full independence. For this reason alone, there’s no way they’d ever want to go back into any Russian-led Union.

You can’t tell me anything Grant. You’re not my real dad

We just got used to the new guy and here comes another

Truthfully, Baltics had money before the Russians invaded. You seem to assume there was a great benefit from the Soviet Union to Baltics but there wasn't, quite the opposite. Better would be to say "Baltics had to live at home with an abusive parent until they were 18, at that point they left and never talked to the parent again".

[asdefasdef]

Bit inaccurate describing the baltic states as like relatives who emograted did well and didnt want to come back. More accurate to say that they are independent countries forcefully and brutally occupied for 50 years and now want to remain independent

I can’t concentrate on the video because I’m too busy reading all the comments about the new beardless Simon.

[estatecapitalhr]

This man needs a beard and glasses, and maybe ill get used to him.

[biscuit]

Wait a minute this isn’t the bold man that I want

[ashenafiadugna]

You can try 100 person but no one can fit the bad boy Simon ❤🇷🇺🇪🇹

[georgejoseph]

Ok taking away Simon was one thing, now you're taking away josh! Seriously man just shave josh and bring him back.

A Russia-Ukraine-axis is like a Belgium-Congo-axis. Not a Germany-France-axis.

As a citizen of Uzbekistan 🇺🇿, I don't want my country to be a member of this organisation. We have had enough experience to be under control of Moscow for 70 years. I really want my country to have diverse economical, political relations with developed countries. Developing country with Russia 🇷🇺 is difficult enough since Russia itself isn't developed well. Russia could have powerful army. However if you compare life standard of Russia to western countries 😔

[SamtheIrishexan]

Good job Grant. You do Simon justice and I have no problem watching you!

[zviadakhlouri]

and what about Georgia? why you didn't mention that we lost 20% of our territories due to our struggle to join NATO and EU ? please, don't forget us. we love you, bald guys :)))

[TOFKAS]

If he want this, then he is still very far away. Russia is not powerfull enough to creat an asian version of the EU. Russia is havin not much power economicaly and is also weak on the political and diplomatic stage. Its more likely that russia will be a part of the chinese sphere of influence in the future.
