    TURKEY: he has them in a pincer with Syria and Ukraine. He doesn't care for Europe, he wants year round shipping through Mediterranean…. something Russia does not really have. Hence Mauripole.

    Why didn't Russia invade Belarus? It seems like a better choice and easier? No would come to help Belarus.

  9. @Delred1

    February 20, 2024 at 2:23 am

    If Russia TOTALLY takes Ukraine, I think theyll carry on and roll right over Europe.

    Being in N.A.T.O, those small countries that allowed US missiles on their shores don't HAVE names as far as Russia are concerned, they are all now marked with 'target', signs, ALWAYS be careful who you aline with. The US will just use them in any 'proxy' war they have, I think Russuan eyes have turned towards Norway for the treacherous act they did against NORDSTREAM 2.

    It is easy to forget Belarus, recent leaks actually shows a full Russian annexation of Belarus by 2030.

    Putin is not distracted by Ukraine. There’s something bigger going on. In my opinion he’s distracting everybody with Ukraine war. Do you really think he’s gonna be distracted by one thing come on folks use your head the man is sneaky and he’s very very very wealthy. And he knows how to play chess while he distracts everybody in the entire world with Ukraine. He’s doing something other than fucking with Ukraine. He’s planning he’s planning to take over other countries and he’s planning on how to do that. I bet you. Human brain is an amazing thing.

    February 20, 2024 at 2:23 am

    Everyone is gonna think I'm pretty stupid for commenting this butt it's my own opinion Instead of a war they should have handled it differently Like a massive competition or sports Whoever Country wins the series They get to have the country without any violence and bloodshed But I know the world doesn't work that way it has to be violence Because that's all the human race has known for violence

  22. @pal6636

    February 20, 2024 at 2:23 am

    This is well thought out .
    The one factor that I feel should have more weight is Putin's popularity at home. He needs a quick in and out victory and a big parade . A won war equals instant patriotism. Patriotism is control. I think if he weren't getting his butt whooped in Ukraine he would have tried a Baltic earlier in the list . He's been working heavy propoganda there in recent years which is often a precursor . It shows definite interest at the very least . Specifically he's trying to get the West to distance itself from smaller NATO countries. They do brutal fake news articles like " new study reveals more Baltics have a copy of Mein Kampf than the bible in their homes". I could not believe that story and most others, get picked up by media in the UK . It sells a story so they all play the game . But the 8ntent is to have allies say "why would we ever support people like that ". Lots of prep has been going on out of Moscow

    February 20, 2024 at 2:23 am

    This is such nonsense, how much did you get paid?Have TV brainwashed you so much and you don't know where the coming threat and terrorists are?Russian were forced to enter into a conflict provoked by NATO for the sake of their own safety and the safety of ethnically Russian Ukrainians.Russia does not need your territories.Those whom you call separatists are Russian-speaking and ethnic Russian citizens of Ukraine living in their cities, houses and territories, exterminated and oppressed by their own Ukrainian government.What would you do if your government started exterminating a certain nation in your country?People used the right to self-determination, asked for the help of the European Union to hold referendums, but of course they are against it.Most likely, you will suffer if you join nato, when Nato organizes a conflit, and you will find yourself a party to the conflict and a legitimate target for nuclear missiles, and then the Russians will not feel sorry for you as Ukrainians

  24. @qzov9343

    February 20, 2024 at 2:23 am

    Very many Finns do not want to join the criminal organization NATO. Finns are just waking up to the truth, but it is inevitable sooner or later. We just want to live in peace with all our neighbors, trade, tourism and
    maintains cultural relations.

  25. @1stfittt738

    February 20, 2024 at 2:23 am

    On your very same channel you have a video telling why Finland is uninvadable. Keep the logic mates.

  26. @carymnuhgibrilsamadalnasud1222

    February 20, 2024 at 2:23 am

    Might as well invade Mongolia, Kuril Islands of Japan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Georgia, and possibly Kazakhstan or Turkmenistan.
