I've got a new video out, finally. You can watch it, or if you prefer reading or want to check my sources, the script is below.
We’re now nearly a year and a half into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. When the war started, many predicted a swift Russian
It’s pretty bland, they don’t present any new ideas and mostly just try to summarize some YouTuber’s video essays which are already summaries of a journalists summaries.
The amount of times they say “it’s not really that simple” is a bit embarrassing seeing as how they continue to make conclusions based off those same statements.
I had like a whole 10 paragraph thing about the history of the USSR. Written out then my phone died lol. Other posters are already making good points about how this is a pretty big oversimplification that ignores the reality of the collapse and downplays the economic incentives for NATO to continue the war. They also really downplay the US role in NATO making it seem like it’s an Eastern European organization which is laughable.
Edit: just realized this is the dunk tank lol, was wondering why such a low quality article was posted to news
It is so fucking painfully bad I’m still angry about it.
It’s so slimy how they ““criticise”” the DSA at the start in order to associate themselves in the mind of the audiences as “I’m like the DSA but I support the war and disagree with every single point they make”. The early association technique casts the author as a socialist when they are anything but. I’m convinced that they know what they’re doing here and know their misuse of these words and terms. They are intentionally misleading.
Bookmarked! This looks like a good read/listen.
