  1. I won't watch your second video. Your bias is glaring with an uplift in your voice at Russian defeats and a dejected tone at the British defeats. I know why you Brits have hated Russia for centuries. I could point out the West, the EU, and the UK have not been doing so well of late, the godless b*****ds.

  2. Oh, Mr. Drach – Get your Balaclava and Crimea River…
    Things haven't changed much from then to now, have they? Those Eastern European nations are constantly harassed by Russia to rejoin the Warsaw Pact yet they always refuse. This is probably why they're known as the Balkin' States – b-dum-tss 😎
    Mea Culpa…couldn't help myself and now you must keel me 🤨

  3. I really appreciate the honest attempt by the allies here at limiting damages to only government targets. The fact that in some cases, civilians were so unaffected that they ended up conducting minor trade with the invaders makes me smile a little. Modern war has so many civilian casualties in comparison, which is tragic.

  4. Oh that history could be learned from more than sometimes. The first minute and a half here puts a situation that is arguably not that far off from the motivations that prompted my country and it's dependencies' current proxy war in Eastern Europe. The one depopulating the Ukrainian male population. Evidenced by increased adds for Ukrainian mail order brides. A pity the entire situation's debilitating backlashes. There is also the ganging of other nations happening to feel threatened too much to the Russian side.
    .
    That many will indubitably disagree is arguably relegable to unaccountable political element info influence and ongoing failure of "free world" journalism to live up to the free and impartial press charter. That's a thing in my nation of the ongoing legacy of William Randolph Hearst and Edward Bernays, forwarded today by our present architects of social control via the Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex and corporate monopolized mass media. There is also that we Americans, being Exceptional, have nothing to learn from history, but, I do like it well presented.

  5. In front of the Sevastopol the ships wait
    Fire the statute cannon, the earth moans
    The Fourties and The Sevens help us
    Let us please captain Pasha
    Our fiances praying for you in motherland

  6. Thank you for actually talking about the French. The only channel that enlxtensively explores the Crimmean War is the Armchair Historian, and for whatever reason they make every effort to never speak of French military actions despite being one of the major players.
