  1. Putin was never intending to join the world community, just like China and other despots, they want access to tech and markets but dont like the fact they are not a super power and as such dont get their way.

  2. Why do you continue to call Putin president?
    This man is nothing but ruthless criminal and a dictator. Nothing will stop him, his own people doesn’t a clue as to what’s happening in their own country.

  3. Putin is a horrible criminal; he is now the gangster boss of a Mafia State that has become a terrorist state! He must be opposed, defeated, deposed, arrested, handcuffed and taken to The Hague! While they’re at it they should round up Yanokovitch and have him tried in Ukraine for several dozen crimes! Putin must go! We are sick of all his criminal acts.

  4. Russia signed a treaty with France and Britain and after the Crimean War in the 1850's, they obviously broke the treaty, so when Russia annexed Crimea, why didn't France and Britain speak up, even though their balls fell off decades ago

  6. Wow. Between 7-min mark, Ukraine gives up nuclear weapons and then skips to Crimea event, completely ignoring 20 years of NATO encroachment and instigation. Imagine if Russia buddied up with Mexico and gave them tons of weapons, what would the USA do? Lol
    This isn't history, it's NATO propaganda. I'm a USA citizen,.but you cannot be honest and deny the role of your own country, whether right or wrong.

  7. I’d like to see a documentary on the Crimean War of the 1850s in which Ukraine bravely fights against Britain and France…….oh wait, l mean Russia because l looked at a map from that period and wouldn’t you know it I couldn’t find Ukraine on it, only Russia and Crimea was in Russia so l guess it’s true that the made up country of Ukraine only came into existence long after Crimea became a part of the Russian Empire, like nearly 200 years after Crimea became Russian!

  8. First , Crimea is not attached to Russia. Crimea is separated by a straight which is why they had to build a bridge.

    Second Catherine was the first psychotic Russian autocrat that violated a treaty guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty.

    Third Muscovy was a bunch of huts in mud flats when Kyiv was the capitol of the Rus.

    Fourth Russian language is dominant because Catherine deported the Crimean Tatars . Then Stalin deported the balance. Then Russia imported Russians into Crimea.

    Fifth, Stalin starved to death 4million Ukrainians in the Holodomor then imported Russians into Crimea. These were primarily into Donbas and Luhansk.
