Shut up, Meg.
A good comment from a YT poster:

When I’ve been out among normal sane people and come back to these people, the mind boggles at their insanity.
This guy has just admitted that the last 30 years since the breakup of the Soviet Union when Russia dominated all its member countries that Russia can’t handle being Russian alone, that Russian nationality doesn’t exist, that they can’t survive as themselves.
So they are playing this insane game of pretending they’ll know who they are if they include Ukranians, Poles, Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians etc.. who all DO know who they are - and it’s not Russian - and CAN all live happily and proudly as nations!
The Russians are pretending they own 4 oblasts of another country.. because Russia is the only country of the ex Soviet Union that can’t live with itself, the regime imprisoning or assassinating or forcing into exile any Russians who DO know who they are and could make Russia a proud and great nation...
This is totally bizarre altogether.
Now they are going to pretend they have a national holiday about territory in another country??
Do they have any idea how ridiculous they sound??
I’d place all our NATO troops and equipment in Poland and the Baltics. The rest of Europe is on it’s own.
Poland needs a break. Always dominated by others. They appreciate us more than the rest of them.
Putin has talked about this for more than a decade. That is the goal.
They genuflect and repeat this aloud together as a prayer.
Until they try to take Alaska back, what they do in Eurasia is their business, and Europe’s/Asia’s business.
Of course putin won’t stop. That’s the point of stopping him now in Ukraine.
putin is evil and insane. he wants to rule the world
Nature abhors a vacuum.
Okay. I say Russia withdraws from the occupied territories by February 29, 2024.
If not I pay up. If so then you do.
How is our little wager looking Megan?
We're the ones that promised the Russians no eastward expansion of NATO and than expanded it right into their backyard.
We fomented an illegal coup, installed a puppet government, set off a civil war that resulted in the mass genocide of ethnic Russians, funded and trained a 600,000 man Ukrainian army, armed Ukraine with lethal weapons and were running biolabs there with deadly pathogens in them.
If China or Russia were doing anything like that in Mexico, wed, justifiably, invade.
What's going on in Ukraine is modern-day Western imperialism, the kind that has benefited scum like the Bidens, Soros Inc, BlackRock, the WEF, etc.
This post is the ultimate case of projecting onto Russia when is true of our elitists.

I kinda respect the way he is quite honest about Russia’s real intentions. Too many online pro Russian warriors are too eager to hop on the fight nazis theory. ( Which would be way more believable if Russian soldiers in Ukraine now did not behave like...what’s the word I am looking for...oh yeah. Nazi’s. Atleast this guy is quite open that you can call it what you want but it is mostly about Russia taking back what they think is theirs. Restoring past glory if you want. Which, ofcourse, a lot of people, including myself, always figured.

Despite the costs, for the Soviet Union, of the Soviet-Afghan War not being overwhelmingly large compared to other commitments, the war left a long legacy in the former Soviet Union and, following its collapse, for the Russian Federation. Along with financial, economic and personnel losses, it brought physical disabilities and widespread drug addiction throughout the USSR and subsequently, to the Russian Federation.
According to scholars Rafael Reuveny and Aseem Prakash, the war contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union by:
—— undermining the image of the Red Army as invincible,
—— undermining Soviet legitimacy, and by
—— creating new forms of political participation.
I can see the same patterns emerging in the Russian WAR against Ukraine.
The WAR that Russia is waging on Ukraine is going to have a far greater impact on the Russian Federation than the Afghanistan WAR had on its predecessor, the Soviet Union.
It may be possible, because of pride, arrogance, hubris and even jealousy, that the Russian Federation believe they have nothing more to lose and will keep fighting till they are beaten to a stand still - Total Defeat.
Afghanistan - Soviet Casualties and losses {in 10 years - 1979-98}
Soviet Union:
14,453–26,000
9,500 KIA {in combat}
4,000 died from wounds
1,000 died from disease and accidents
Ukraine - Russian Casualties and losses {in 18 months - 2022-23}
275,000 KIA

A quarter of the way through the 21st century and we’re still having to deal with this 19th century “great countries need big empires to oppress” cr*p? Come on. At least the 19th century Russians were also making some great art, music, and literature.

As others here have said: At least he has dropped the pretext. It’s not about Nazis or saving people from shelling in Luhansk. I’s about empire building. No other country you admit that in the 21st century, but then Russia is not in the 21st century!

I always tell myself that conflict is never straightforward, that there are no clear-cut good guys or comic book supervillains in war. And holy sh!t I’m wrong sometimes.

The disconnect Russia has between what it wants to achieve and what it can achieve is just astounding. Russia is the second best military in Ukraine, let alone the world. They are more like an annoying pest, rather than some existential threat, lol.

I am SO putting this on my calendar! Every year we can celebrate the territories and satellite countries lost by Russia.

So one man I don't know says some stuff and that means all of Russia believes it and acts on it, particularly Putin? No, it's propaganda but it's hard to say WHOSE propaganda. He may be a Ukrainian shill - we have them on FR, too. Claiming this video proves the Russians are coming, is like the FBI propping up some guy with horns and fur at the Jan 6 'riots' and claiming the nation is at risk...
Here's two comments posted below the video at the link:
"Actually, this is not NAZI rhetoric. This guy, and pretty much all Russian propagandists, share two ideological traits with nazism: 1) Nationalism (rather common in right leaning circles) 2) Disdain for liberal democracy. I don't think fascism is a clearly defined term, but those first two traits at least bring him into fascistic territory. Here's a nazism checklist: Anti-Semitism? Don't think so. Anti-Communism. Definitely not. Anti-Slavism? Most definitely not. White supremacy? No. Scientific racism? Nope. I think he'd need to show more of those traits to qualify as a Nazi. We throw that term around far too easily these days. It's more than just a "bad word".
"Don't you think that hailing actual Nazi veteran in parliament might be a bit stronger?"
Oh Lordy. Our daily neocon spume. Obviously you have no clue how the USSR came about and how ridiculous it is to think Putin could pull it off again.
“(Russian) Propagandist explains Russia is restoring its empire.”
To the loud applause of the neocons.
Hands off Alaska. Fort Ross, forget about it.
Other than that, I could care less.
I thought this was a American conservative site. Not a site for politically motivated pro-Russian irredentists and revanchists to rationalize a new Russian empire at the expense of the U.S. and the entire world.
It shows how hollow and superficial American conservatism can get.
