Ukraine is Just the Beginning - Russia's TRUE MOTIVE Behind the War

🕒 Two years into the conflict, Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine shows no signs of a quick resolution. Despite initial expectations of a rapid victory, the situation has escalated into a grueling war of attrition, with neither side gaining decisive ground. 🌍 NATO's support remains crucial, providing military and financial aid to Ukraine. What's really behind Russia's persistence?

You may want to stress that not a single former Soviet satellite state wants to get back to the old status quo and that all the new NATO members pushed into the alliance while there was time.

Estonian here and I want to say that we wanted to be part of NATO. They INCLUDED us, accepted us. "Expanded" sounds wrong,

[allanmetsar]

Russia doesn't see the US and Nato as agressors, but obstacles in invading other countries, this video on a general level makes several questionable claims and there are some factual errors as well

[virgilmicknet]

Russia can't even get thru Ukraine, what makes you think they'd risk NATO?

[CHixon]

I've a degree in B.S. and can tell you that Russia is full of it. Just like in the countries in S.A., corruption limits their influence.

- Russia's GDP is high because of the Russian state is pumping money into the economy. Russian civilian industries are losing their market shares to Chinese companies while they are forced to help the war effort producing military hardware. The moment the war ends Russia's economy is going to tank unless Russia will keep spending its large but limited reserves to buff its industry.
- China is not happy with Russia's invasion and much less the poor performance of the Russian military but like India they will happily accept cheap fuel.
- Russia has already become the weaker partner in trade with China. What Russia should instead fear is China wanting some of its former territories back.

the US never invaded Iran so they couldn’t have “retreated from Iran”. 10:21

What people will forget is just how close they were to actually achieving a swift victory. It was both Ukrainian determination and Russian errors that we got to even see future improvements.

It's not that NATO "had a plan" to include former Warsaw-bloc countries. These countries wanted NATO-membership. And they have every right to make their own choices, as does Ukraine.

I see so many channels say Russia will close the Suwalki gap. Poland will just make it much wide and erase Kaliningrad in a would say, no more then a few hours. Suwalki gap becomes much wider.

Call it right way it was a pure form of colonialism, Russian occupation of Eastern Europe. People living in the USSR couldn't even go abroad and it was one big prison.

[veyuslavic]

There's no way, in an all out NATO/Russian war, would Nato allow themselves to get bottle-necked in that 60 mile stretch between Kaliningrad and Belarus. NATO would just take over Kaliningrad.

Important Note: The US/western powers didn't say "We won't station closer to Russia, " they said they wouldn't station units in Eastern Germany after Germany reunified. Neither NATO, nor the USSR, were thinking that the Warsaw pact would dissolve within a few short years so the idea that they would even be considering this to be the deal is absurd.

NATO did not jump at the opportunity to expand - rather they basically declared they'd make it easier to join and the very second that most Warsaw Pact nations were freed from Russian influence they - and the majority of their populations - immediately demanded entry. FFS Poland was even planning on creating its own central-European defense treaty with other nearby nations to resist Russian invasion. Literally everybody wanted independence and NATO was the best way to guarantee Russia wouldn't invade you. Ukraine was one of those, by the way. They literally wrote NATO membership into their constitution at one point, they were so eager to get there.

The problem with this video is that it suggests that Russia, post-USSR, was or even could be a great power. It isn't, and it can't. Not for a very, very long time, at least. Russia lost its prestige and power when it could no longer subjugate nations to its will and has deluded itself into believing nothing has changed despite it being out-competed by *individual US states.*

Quite frankly the whole Ukraine situation is born from Putin lying to his people for so long that he genuinely believed his own lies when told right back to his face, then acted on those lies only to be hit with the cold reality that Russia is not, and will never be, the USSR again.

Wish your images had textual explanations of what they are as they slide on by

Putin’s Endgame is his very own concrete coffin.

[jwick]

A so called superpower struggling with a country that has no navy a limited air force and having had to use old russian equipment. Makes no sense at all.

[sammyjimsmith]

Maybe Nato and the US should start discussing with China taking back Siberia and leaving Taiwan for later

[eltonsalvador]

it is not up to trump for the US to withdraw from NATO, it has to go through congress, which they definitely reject to do

[_TheRealGod]

Ruzzia now has more submarines than when they started the war on Ukraine. Be it they are a new modern type of sleeping seabed vessels that were formerly used for on-surface activities. 🤣

[damnbrosky]
