Great video

I think that incident with the Brits and Norwegians might be the one from the story old Top Gear fans may remember the musician James Blunt talking about when he was on as a guest. The 'You're Beautiful' singer was formerly a British tank commander who dismissed an order from General Wesley Clark to smash through the Russian front line, backed up by his Colonel Mike Jackson (not the US king of pop) who told Clark he would not be starting world war three for him.

And what's the point exactly? Adversaries around the world going on jolly cooperation right now to subjugate Ukraine. To everyone's entertainment. Is it the right time to picture ""adversaries"" as acthually "nice and cooperative" people?

@Devin_Laugherin You obviously missed the point.

Because the truth is, politicians hide in their offices and decide who will k*ll whom. For their interests. They are the ones who want more d**ths. None of them want a peaceful coexistence. Almost any conflict of our time could be resolved by diplomacy but we all see what happening today. (Thanks KZfaq, I know that this is a free platform and that’s why there is censorship***)

There is a phenomenal lecture by a French Russian Journalist (Vladimir Pozner) who worked at Pravda(The Soviet propaganda outlet), about how dangerous the hostile sentiments of the 21st century are.

I agree. I've only been to Russia a few times, but I loved it there and am quite impressed with the people. Also, my wife is a Russian interpreter, my dad was a German translator, you're right, the two are NOT interchangeable terms, though most people seem to think they are. I'm more of less monolingual English though, with a embarrassingly little Russian and Spanish.

I'm going to assume the interpreter requires a much deeper cultural understanding than translator; "what they meant" as opposed to "what they said".

@@thekinginyellow1744 Right on.

​@@thekinginyellow1744Not exactly. Translator is written documents, and almost always in one direction. My dad did not and could not translate English into German, only German to English.

One is not really deeper than the other, they are just separate skills.

The Partnership for Peace came about a few years before and there genuinely could have been peace in Europe between NATO members, former Warsaw Pact nations and Russia.

I couldn't agree more, and couldn't have said it better myself

How powerful of an alliance would it be militarily and economically if the US and Russia partnered up. Just seems so stupid to me that we’re enemies.

My unit deployed to kosovo month in Jan 2003. The line company that we supported was patrolling the serbian border and we would resupply them at this coldesac village at the base of the hillside. On one particular occasion while waiting on the line company to show up in their SUSV this russian convoy had arrived at our location. They had dismounted from their vehicles and started gesturing about trading. I guess our Leatherman multi tools were what they were mostly after. Most of the the russian service members were offering their pin on insignia for us service members Leathermans. When this junior sergeant approached me he gestured towards my Leatherman for his insignia. I didn't care that much for the pin on stuff and then he pulled at his cold weather jacket as an offer for my Leatherman. I accepted and he took the jacket off his back for trade for my Leatherman. I still have that thing hanging in my closet today.

Ok, but a powerful force against who? Each side has its own interests and partners/allies. It is hard to imagine how they joining forces would help any of them. I can think of this scenario materializing in the case of an alien invasion, or more generally, to help improve the world. Reduce poverty, advance humanity knowledge on sciences. Have you imagined Russian and American scientists working together to advance space exploration? Or human health? That would be truly amazing.

@@User-jr7vf Against China. Which is a growing Imperialist threat in the east and is powerful enough to completely overpower the CIS all on it's own. Khabarovsk was also a taste of what's to come for Russia. It is quite possible that Russo-Chinese relations might deteriorate further down the line. Russia needs to stop wasting resources bullying small insignificant countries and spending millions in attempts to assimilate them and realize who's the real enemy here. I believe that this will happen in the future. Can't quite say whether that'll be in 10 years or 2.

Russia would be a liability in the vast majority of operations, lol.

Becoming the enemy of the world is the sinister choice of modern American leadership - deal with it.

Russia was powerful in the Cold War but Americans actually don't want powerful allies diluting their leadership (hence why they ally with small token countries instead).

For years, Russia state media has considered 'the west' led by america as their biggest enemy. Since Feb 2022, it has gotten worse, and they have shown maps of how they could bomb us and claim they should just nuke everyone.

During the American Revolution, a captured American officer, Daniel Morgan was allowed to demonstrate his marksmanship skills for English nobility. They were impressed and asked how his skills compared with other American rebels. Morgan replied that every American could shoot that good. So… “average (American ) infantryman.”

I was a 11B in the 101st Airborne Infantry, 1st Brigade, 1/327th Infantry Regiment. When I went through Boot Camp and AIT at Benning I was in Bravo 2/54.

Except those were not rebels but people fighting for their country that ruzzia wanted to keep occupied.

Funny thing is, the US warned Putin about the Moscow terrorist attack a couple months before then a couple days before. Putin went on national TV and mocked the US and the West. Then when the attack happened, turned around and blamed the US and Ukraine for the attack. Lol. The US intelligence does not play games and no matter who might get attacked, they'll give information. Always have.

Everyone hated Al Qaeda in the early 2000s. Even the Chinese collaborated.

Their intelligence communities have backchannel dialogues. Probably much fewer of them now, though. That's one reason the US was so confused when those Wagner schmucks decided to attack a US outpost in Syria. "Really? You don't have anyone attacking US targets in Syria? Then who are these guys in Mockba's shooting RPG's at us? Okay, if you say they aren't yours then you wont mind us obliterating them." The disproportionate response in fending off that attack was a deliberate bit of posturing meant to reinforce the importance of those backchannels.

I hate to be that guy but the Chechens are the reason putin was able to rise to power. And we all know what happened after that

Depends on how an "invasion" happened. If aliens landed and said "Hey, North Korea, we'll give you rayguns and help you conquer the planet in our name!", it would probably take the Norks about 5 seconds to decide to betray humanity.

Great memories. Are you currently serving?

Yeah of course you didn't know, the Americans helped to create the wars in Yugoslavia by giving the ethnic Russian Serbs the green light to create a Greater Serbia. I saw the American General who was at the meeting stating it in a documentary that they gave Serbia the option of reversing the independence of Slovenia and Croatia, or letting them make a Greater Serbia, and the Russo-Serbs elected for creating a Greater Serbia - that was the deal. So they made war in Slovenia to link up Russo-Serbs in Slovenia and they failed miserably. Then they made war against Croatia and took 1/3rd of Croatia through ethnic cleansing and expulsions and genocide. Then they made war in Bosnia and took half the territory again through ethnic cleansing and genocide. They started to cleans Kosovo of Albanians but NATO bombed them and stopped them as it was looking like a masacre again big time. They slaughtered 10,000 Albanians in no time, and NATO quickly jumped in. NATO stopped it happening in Macedonia and Montenegro too, because the Russo-Serbs would have attempted to annex territory there too. Kosovo was their homeland originally called Ruskia, but the Turks came and they fled north into todays Bulgaria. The turks took Bulgaria too and the Russo-Serbs managed to ethnically cleans Western Bulgaria of Bulgars even under occupation by the Turks. British forces liberated Western Bulgaria during the first Balkans war and Britain created the new state of Serbia upon Bulgarian territory, and Bulgaria had to go along with it because the Russians (The brothers of the Serbs) had capture Bulgaria. Albanians filled the vacuum after the Serbs fled Kosovo/Ruskia.

I wonder if those Russians you mentioned are alive after ukraine crisis??

I hope that you realize that "south Kosovo" is basically a bit down south from Priština. Were you maybe in Metohija, down around Peć and Prizren?

Scammer bot.

Saying that Yugoslavia was carrying out an ethnic cleansing is not a fact, it's a straight up a lie used to justify the attack. In reality US strikes killed more albanian civilians than Yugoslav police/military did.

Don't people sense strong cognitive dissonance ? US supported the same forces in Kosovo. And then when they gave a country to those terrorists they built a base in there and stopped supporting the same forces in South Serbia and North Macedonia. Serbia also runed several operation to get rid of this groups.
