Thank you for this very informative video. I can see your arguments are well-thought-out and you also have direct experience to base your opinions on.
I too have some direct experience as my parents used to live in both Russia and Ukraine and my father speaks Russian. I also have had several Russian and some Ukrainian friends and have heard their stories from both sides.
As I said I am not an apologist for Putin. I do not see him as a "nice guy" if you will. I am also not far right or far-left although I am a trans woman and so I can see things from many different angles here.
I respect your views and I think your voice is something we need to listen to in order to have a fuller picture. However my primary argument really has to do with your statement that we are living in peaceful times when in fact we are living in extremely aggressive times and many people are suffering though not from bombs and gunfire and displacement but through coercive measures and punishing tyrannical government overreach. I do not believe we have a leg to stand on to condemn another leader when our own leaders are committing evils against their citizens that I will never forgive and we shouldn't ever forgive them for it.
Though it is disaster in Ukraine, it is good for agressive Putin's Russia to experience Ukraine kicking their arce. The aggressor will learn respect and the aggressed will have confidence.
As the world leaders (including Biden) used to say during these 2 years of this "plandemic": "Stay home, and stay safe". So dear Americans, EU members, and anyone else, stay home & stay safe.
Nah, I'm with Putin on this one. Biden and his cronies have instigated this and, unfortunately, innocent Ukranians (and guilty Ukranian conspirators) will suffer the consequences. Us Americans want nothing to do with this bullshit propaganda "war". We have seen nothing but fake videos and fake photographs from this so-called war. It is just another distraction to manipulate and divide us. Don't buy into it, question everything you see.
This war is real and European people are dying and suffering. We can't play into the hands of politicians. I blame NATO and the west for this. The best one can do is not getting involved. Ukrainians shouldn't fight either so every thing will be over as soon as possible.

Putin is threatening to use nuclear weapons and the majority of this chat is defending him. Absolutely insane
Brittany, talk to Martin about using this opportunity to fight the only good war against Islam in Europe. Compare the Ukrainian refugees with the Muslim one. Spot the difference? Also see Ukrainians fighting for their country? That’s what an homogenous society does.

I say let the warhawks pick up a rifle and fight for Ukraine.

There’s been a war for 8 years, targeting civilians, an estimate 20 k or more dead .. nobody was talking about .. right at the Russian border ., in donbas and lugansk .. They started shooting about a week ago .. In fact is was the ukrain forces fighting their own people in the east.. I can imagine the russians saying this is enough, check telegram ‘ nieuws uit donbass’ a dutchman living with his family in that particular region
