If he ever tries to nuke America, the pain he will feel is more than has ever been felt by a country – ever.
Great video! Without the BS or spin!. Thank you for that fact based history and your insights into how the world should really be looking at de-escalation because nuclear Armageddon isn't in anyone's favor!
Let's just be honest the rhetoric coming from Western Media is total and complete BULLSHIT. Ukraine & Taiwan have been chosen as proxies to instigate conflict against China and Russia. Considering the millions the Democrats have taken off Chinese lobbyists and Companies, China has every reason to be pissed as hell.
And you would have to be an idiot to think that the literally billions of dollars that Ukraine has received since 2014 is going towards building Ukrainian Infrastructure.
I mean the huge port expansion in Ukraine came from the Chinese belt and road Initiative! The west has done absolutely everything they possibly could to formant conflict in Ukraine and now they're doing the same thing in Taiwan.
Ukraine since 2014 built up an army of in excess of 600k soldiers and since open conflict began they have lost between 80-90% of them. There are currently 1000's of Polish Soldiers in the Ukraine. As well as Chechnyans, Albanians and other people from the Balkans these are all paid mercenaries. What's more disturbing is the number of Al Queda and Isis Fighters who have been hired to fight on behalf of Ukraine.
All of these various military groups are being paid using US Tax dollars and equipped using US Military Equipment. To say that paying and equipping terrorist militias using US funds is highly ironic.
Russia doesn't need to use Nuclear Weapons to secure Ukraine in fact they have been extremely strategic of what targets they have gone after. But in retaliation the Ukrainians have not their two top targets a huge hydropower dam and a Nuclear Reactor. Both of these have been attacked on multiple occasions and defeated each time.
Personally I think Zelensky is a western stooge he is nothing but a puppet of NATO and the US. If Russia cyber attacks Ukraine's power network as they did previously they can literally cripple all power nationwide including telecommunications and internet. If this happens Ukraine's done Russia will take Odessa and effectively land lock the rest of Ukraine.
Seriously he has a great deal of many options way before nukes. I'm sure if he wants to he can flatten the whole entire country of Ukraine which is conventional missiles. He need not endangering any actual troops. Of course it should be very heavy-handed and look bad. But this is a step way before nukes.
Nato is the USA and vice versa, sorry I'm with Putin on this one. Ukraine has hardcore white supremacist, thank God Putin blowing them up.
……and stones! Haha ogg! Enjoying the content Tom!
Chilling ending statement Tom!
My favorite Russian president was Boris Yeltsin. On one occasion when he was in the hospital, they did some blood work on him.
To everyone's surprise, they were able to find traces of blood in his vodka.
Putin is literally doomed and the way that his rule has screwed up Russia, Russia as a country is doomed. Putin's invasion of Ukraine will be the biggest mistake any Russian leader has ever made because it was bound to fail and it was unnecessary. Ukraine has shown amazing resilience and the morale of their military and their people has been amazing. But mainly Ukraine is such a large country that even if Putin's military was successful there would always be resistance in numerous areas, they would not just roll over like the Czechs or Poles did in the old days and Putin would have to station such a huge military force permanently throughout Ukraine it wouldn't be worth it. Putin could have just kept selling his oil and natural gas and food and kept the peace and work on making Russia prosper, so he has made huge mistakes of aggression that have isolated Russia from the world. Its like the fall of the USSR 2.0, only this time it will be much worse. Putin has screwed up Russia economically and he will be deposed and killed eventually. After decades of Putin's rule getting more and more crazy after he is gone Russia will be in total chaos. Anyone who replaces him will fail no matter how competent they are things are too messed up to fix for at the very least 10 years probably 20 years. So any replacement leader will be criticized and probably killed. Russia is such a vast country with different regions that if it is in chaos it will be practically impossible to unify and lead back to respectability and prosperity. So I do think Putin is desperate and insane enough to use nuclear weapons. Plus even if he uses conventional weapons bombing Ukraine at some point they will have to attack points in Russia or some incident will occur that brings in NATO and the US. No matter how fiercely you fight you can't just take your whole country being bombed and just fight defensively, Ukraine is bound to attack sites inside of Russia.
Russia can't figure out how to get gasoline to a convoy of trucks. Can they really figure out how to maintain unfathomably complex weapons, built 60+ years ago and their launch systems? Doubt it….these people are shelling and bombing nuclear power stations for Christ's sake. How do you know if Russia is lying? It's speaking. Russian nukes don't fly.
Great summary. Really appreciate your channel and effort.
the epitome of grounded and objective political commentary
Russia using nukes is pretty much the end game for that country. Who cares if Putin can afford to loose or not. Using nukes is not a winning option. Most probably the war will be long and could extent to involve NATO although it has successfully avoided direct conflict until now.
Fantastic video. Love the way to explain historical events.
I don't think he's bluffing either. But pretty sure Putin knows that using nukes threatens everybody on the planet and ergo NATO will act quickly and decisively. There won't be any negotiations.
Thank you Tom. Most westerners have no clue (myself included) we need this history to better understand the greater perspective.
a sledgehammer to kill a fly 🙁
Tom, you are full of BS this Video. Nothing about the 10 million Russian persecuted in Ukraine and other minorities. Nothing about Romanian, Hungarian. Poland territories. There are two possibilities: or you don't understand what is going on or you are making cheap propaganda. Ask yourself. at least, why, in 2014 Victoria Nuland was in Maidan? Sorry for you buddy.
I like you taking a deep dive into questions. Or market analysis
Great video!
Awesome, Ladas lol Thanks for the history lesson Tom.
In all seriousness, Putin appears to be an insane murderer, not to say anything else, with what you have shown us here…as though he kills his own people to achieve his goals. Looking at the way things are going everywhere, depression is starting to weigh morally and mentally on the entire world, markets and economies and this guy has no compassion for anyone and anything by carrying out this war, specially at this point in time. By the time he's done, there will be no resources left and the entire world will shame him and he shall feel ashamed by accomplishing nothing. Just another Hitler, a sick person with powers beyond justification. One thing leads to another, chain reaction and domino effects are not easy to stop until everything falls… Sad world we have, systems that destroy instead of building intelligently, systems that allow the few to control the many by keeping the majority of the masses poor. Sad, sad, mad world.
One of your best work Tom. Yea, WW3 seems inevitable looking at Putin's dilemma. However, the creator of the earth has assured that He will never allow humans to destroy the earth. His original purpose for the earth must be carried out. Those who know, knows!
It's all bullshit, when they steal money, and he's in on it, as much as the rest of them. They often use the cover of nuclear war.
or they could start peace negotiations. that's always an option. but let the military industrial complex make their money first, obviously. Cant rely on Afghanistan anymore for the Christmas bonus.
Given the Tech they are running… Would die nukes even work? Can they keep up the reaktiv material?
I agree totally. Thank you for your detailed research and hard work on this video. Where does that leave you strategically as an investor? I would like to hear you on this.
with all respect who do you think did blow up the pipes? you looked at the camera like the answer was obvious but not for everybody. why don't just say it…. it's UsA
Thanks Tom! This video made me understand more in depth this subject.
It will end one of 2 ways. It's either the end of the world or the end of Russia. A nuclear war with the west is the end of the world.The end of Russia means Putin has a falling accident, like half the board of Gazprom. Out of a Window, down some stairs or off the side of a yacht. Take your pick.
This will likely be an internal accident or an accident caused by someone outside of Russia. Someone who is sneaky enough to blow up a gas line under the baltic sea. I think the Putin accident theory is as probable as a nuclear war. Putin does not really have a choice. He is a dead man walking, whatever the outcome, Its a bit of a Hitler in a Berlin bunker scenario.
The issue will be who has the balls to be the next president of Russia? Whoever it is will need to be one tough cookie to stop a Russian civil war. With Putin gone and most of the Russian military left as scrap metal in Ukraine, there will be a few states around Russia who will relish a pop at independence. Maybe even China might have a go at grabbing the 350,000 square miles of land it lost to Russia a few centuries ago.
Whoever fancies a shot at being Russian president will need to do it soon before Ukraine wipes out the Russian military, or there will be no defense left within Russia's borders. There is no doubt that this is one screwed up situation as there will be millions of lives affected by one mans ambitions and the meddling of the pro-western lobbyists in Ukraine. Even if the Putin accident theory pans out, there could still be a nuclear war. Ukraine may end up being one of the European super powers because they will have so much NATO gear in their borders, they may fancy a pop at Russia themselves.
This mess is a long way from being over.
Nice end quote that hopefully will never become a reality! With Putin openly saying he is willing to use nukes, it should not be taken as a bluff but raise awareness that it is a realistic possibly and a risk to the whole world in the end!
This is the best breakdown of the conflict and past history summarized in 20 minutes that I've ever heard. Way better than history professors or any book could have said it. Tom, you nailed it! MSM should be using your talking points. Just FACTS and TRUTHS. No spin.
