=== Russia, Ukraine, and NATO (10:36) ===

[00:00:06]  Before we start today's video, we have a message from our sponsors.
[00:00:09]  Hey, are you worried about how bad inflation is getting right now?
[00:00:12]  What if food gets too expensive to buy?
[00:00:15]  What will you do?
[00:00:17]  Listen, there's a way you can escape the tidal wave of inflation coming our way.
[00:00:21]  Yeah, all you have to do is invest in long-term storage emergency food for my friends at MyPatriot Supply.
[00:00:29]  They are America's preparedness experts and they've already provided emergency food to millions of American families just like yours.
[00:00:36]  If you thought you didn't need this kind of food, think again.
[00:00:39]  This food lets you lock in today's low prices, getting you through the skyrocketing inflation that's just getting started.
[00:00:46]  Right now, you can save $50 on a four-week emergency food kit that gives you a four days worth of food, breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and snacks, enough for four full weeks.
[00:00:58]  It's a strategic stockpile that helps you soften the blow of high food prices.

[00:01:14]  Yeah.
[00:01:16]  All right, we want to talk about what's going on in Russia.
[00:01:19]  And I don't think I'm...
[00:01:20]  Not Russia to Ukraine.
[00:01:23]  Well, Russia invaded the Ukraine, Jim.
[00:01:29]  Well, that's missing context.
[00:01:31]  It's Russia and Ukraine.
[00:01:32]  All right, well, thanks for fact-checking me.
[00:01:34]  All right.
[00:01:34]  All right, but anyway, a lot of people don't really understand what's going on.
[00:01:39]  People are like quick to call Putin a dictator, which I...
[00:01:42]  He is.
[00:01:43]  He's a damn communist.
[00:01:46]  I mean, everybody should know he's a communist.
[00:01:49]  Yeah, he's a.
[00:01:50]  Yeah, he's a communist, right?
[00:01:52]  So what people failed to understand is like when Russia fell apart.
[00:01:57]  Yeah, break it down to him, man.
[00:01:58]  People don't know.
[00:02:00]  People ain't down with all that geopolitics.
[00:02:03]  I'm a geopolitical expert.
[00:02:06]  I didn't read a couple articles on Google and now I'm an expert.
[00:02:10]  No, hey, hold up.
[00:02:12]  Let's get serious on this.
[00:02:14]  It's Biden's fault, though.
[00:02:15]  Yeah, let me say this.
[00:02:18]  NATO, when NATO was started, was to keep the USSR in check.
[00:02:23]  Yeah, they didn't want them expanding the United Kingdom, Norway, Ireland.
[00:02:28]  USSR, the Soviet Republic of Communists or China, Socialists, whatever the hell their name was, there was a very powerful country.
[00:02:35]  And that's why NATO was formed.
[00:02:36]  They're to expand it into the United Kingdom, Germany.
[00:02:39]  Man, it's too powerful.
[00:02:42]  The more powerful U.S., I mean, Russia gets, the more concerns it has for free countries.
[00:02:47]  Yeah, around the world.
[00:02:48]  But when the USSR fell apart, like Putin, I think it was the early 90s.
[00:02:55]  He said, look, okay, we fell apart.
[00:02:58]  NATO, you better watch it.
[00:03:02]  Yeah.
[00:03:04]  Y'all expanding eastward?
[00:03:06]  Yeah.
[00:03:06]  Closer to us.
[00:03:07]  We don't like that.
[00:03:08]  Yeah.
[00:03:08]  And they ended up expanding, taking some of the countries that used to belong to the USSR.
[00:03:14]  This has been going on since Clinton was in office.
[00:03:16]  This has been well known.
[00:03:17]  Russia, Putin, NATO, better fucking watch it.
[00:03:23]  This is nothing new.
[00:03:24]  Yeah.
[00:03:25]  Now, Ukraine, that used to be the pillar of Russian society.
[00:03:31]  Back in the USSR days.
[00:03:33]  I mean, those people are Russians.
[00:03:35]  Yeah.
[00:03:36]  Right?
[00:03:37]  But they started their own country, right?
[00:03:40]  They wanted to be their own sovereign country because they didn't want to be associated by just a bunch of communists.
[00:03:46]  Right, right.
[00:03:46]  Right.
[00:03:47]  So, but NATO and Ukraine been doing some talking and Ukraine's made it public they want to be a part of NATO.
[00:03:55]  Right.
[00:03:56]  Now the U.S. has been helping them with money, weapons.
[00:04:00]  Yeah, and right now them being attacked, NATO's sending all kinds of weapons there.
[00:04:05]  So essentially, they're not a part of NATO on paper, but it's going that route.
[00:04:10]  And Russia's always said, I told y'all I'm not feeling this.
[00:04:17]  That's a red line for Russia.
[00:04:19]  Now, look at it from Putin's standpoint.
[00:04:21]  This is how Putin's looking at this.
[00:04:22]  Let's say California.
[00:04:24]  That communist shithole, that damn communist country they call a state here in America.
[00:04:29]  Yeah, California.
[00:04:30]  Let's say they succeed from the U.S.
[00:04:32]  Yeah, say the United States fell apart and one of the countries that succeeded was California.
[00:04:37]  Well, it didn't fall apart.
[00:04:39]  They just succeeded.
[00:04:40]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:04:41]  Same thing Ukraine did.
[00:04:42]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:04:43]  They left.
[00:04:43]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:04:44]  Right?
[00:04:44]  Russia found out about it.
[00:04:46]  Say, hey, I heard y'all communist now.
[00:04:50]  Would have joined the Communist Party of Russia?
[00:04:52]  Yeah.
[00:04:52]  Y'all need some security.
[00:04:55]  We got some nukes.
[00:04:56]  Bombs will go coming until we can put that stuff right there in California.
[00:04:59]  You could be a part of Russia.
[00:05:00]  They're like, okay, let's do it.
[00:05:02]  Yeah, what do you think Biden or Donald Trump's going to do?
[00:05:04]  They're going to invade California.
[00:05:06]  I mean, I would think.
[00:05:07]  I mean, do you want Russia and that nukes pointed right at us right here?
[00:05:11]  Yeah.
[00:05:11]  He says that's what Ukraine was going to do.
[00:05:14]  Yeah, if Ukraine becomes part of NATO, that's essentially the same thing.
[00:05:18]  That's why Putin invaded.
[00:05:20]  I understand he's a communist.
[00:05:21]  I understand he's a dictator.
[00:05:23]  But all this could have been avoided.
[00:05:25]  Yeah, all you had to do was, like Biden, you cool with Ukraine.
[00:05:28]  All you had to do is, hey, send Hunter over there.
[00:05:33]  All you had to do is say, look, thank you.
[00:05:35]  This is all Biden had to do is look, Ukraine, look, thanks for giving my son a job.
[00:05:39]  Y'all even cut me in 10%.
[00:05:41]  We cool, but look, I'm telling you.
[00:05:43]  I can't help y'all.
[00:05:44]  Y'all can't be a member of NATO.
[00:05:46]  Y'all need to shut the hell up about this NATO shit.
[00:05:49]  Because when Russia invades y'all, we ain't doing shit.
[00:05:52]  Yeah.
[00:05:53]  I mean, who wants to go to war with Russia?
[00:05:56]  That's like, who the hell wants to go to war with China?
[00:05:59]  I mean, those Kawasaki rotten mother.
[00:06:02]  You ain't going to win there, boy.
[00:06:04]  You can't win a war with Russia.
[00:06:06]  You can't win a war with North Korea.
[00:06:08]  A war with Russia, North Korea, or China.
[00:06:10]  Everybody's dead.
[00:06:12]  Yeah.
[00:06:12]  We could even win a war in Afghanistan.
[00:06:14]  We was there for 20 years and still lost.
[00:06:17]  We pulled out.
[00:06:19]  The next day, it's like we was never there.
[00:06:20]  Yeah, left the weapons and everything there.
[00:06:22]  So who wants a war with Russia?
[00:06:24]  Yeah.
[00:06:24]  Y'all should have told Ukraine, say, look, I got the perfect metaphor for Ukraine.
[00:06:30]  Yeah.
[00:06:30]  Y'all stuck between a rock and a hard place.
[00:06:33]  Yeah.
[00:06:34]  But Biden and NATO, they got a, they are the reason why Russia invaded Ukraine.
[00:06:41]  They pushed their hand.
[00:06:42]  I mean, I'm not saying what Russia did was right.
[00:06:45]  It's totally wrong.
[00:06:46]  Ukraine wants to be their own sovereign nation.
[00:06:48]  They don't want to be a communist.
[00:06:49]  They want to be a free, you know, a democracy.
[00:06:51]  Well, that's what y'all should have stayed as.
[00:06:53]  You should have left NATO out of it.
[00:06:54]  Because Biden or the United States, they're not going to help you guys.
[00:06:59]  And on top of that, we're going to have to flip the tab for this.
[00:07:02]  I mean, gas oil, it's going to go through the roof.
[00:07:05]  Everything here in the United States, the prices are going to go higher because everything's flown here, shipped here, drove here.
[00:07:11]  Well, across the United States, when gas prices go up, everything goes up.
[00:07:15]  Well, Russia's a, they provide a lot of gas and oil for the entire globe.
[00:07:20]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:07:20]  You know, them people they putting sanctions on.
[00:07:22]  You think that's a good idea?
[00:07:23]  Like, like they shut down the Keystone pipeline here.
[00:07:26]  Yeah.
[00:07:26]  That's supposed to be.
[00:07:27]  Because of the damn tree huggers here.
[00:07:28]  Yeah, them damn tree huggers, them damn tree masturbators.
[00:07:33]  Yeah, we don't want them to.
[00:07:34]  They said, no, it's bad for the environment.
[00:07:36]  Okay, we just let Russia do all the digging and shit, and we just get it from them.
[00:07:39]  Yeah, but it's like we're being more oil dependent on foreign countries now because you shut down the pipeline.
[00:07:45]  Where are we going to get all from?
[00:07:46]  We can't get it from Russia.
[00:07:48]  Can we still get all from Russia?
[00:07:50]  You're probably going to raise the prices on.
[00:07:54]  I mean, I don't know what to say.
[00:07:56]  I could see, I could see it from Russia's side.
[00:07:58]  I could see it from Ukraine's side.
[00:08:00]  This could have been avoided with a simple conversation at the table.
[00:08:03]  Yeah, I say, look, we're not going to join NATO.
[00:08:05]  We're not going to be a Russia.
[00:08:06]  We just want to be our own sovereign nation.
[00:08:08]  Yeah.
[00:08:09]  I think it would be a cool.
[00:08:10]  I mean, it's worked for like 10, 15 years the way it's been.
[00:08:13]  Yeah.
[00:08:15]  I mean, NATO and Biden and the United States, y'all screwed over all those people in Ukraine.
[00:08:20]  Essentially, you screwed them over because you're not going to go in there and defend them.
[00:08:24]  You're not going to send Americans over there to die.
[00:08:26]  I've seen this dude on Fox News.
[00:08:28]  He was in the government for Ukraine.
[00:08:29]  Member of the parliament, right?
[00:08:31]  Right.
[00:08:31]  He was on Fox News talking about, hey, USA, we need some air support.
[00:08:36]  We ain't sending no fighter jets over there.
[00:08:39]  Nobody wants to go to war with Russia.
[00:08:42]  Nobody.
[00:08:43]  They're actually giving guns to their citizens, Ukraine, to fight with Russia.
[00:08:49]  Just because they got a gun don't mean they know how to use it.
[00:08:52]  Yeah.
[00:08:52]  I mean, imagine giving a gun to a whole family.
[00:08:55]  Say, look, when the Russians come, just start shooting.
[00:08:57]  They got tanks, they got jets.
[00:08:59]  I mean, it doesn't make any sense.
[00:09:00]  Y'all, it's like.
[00:09:02]  Fighter pilot.
[00:09:03]  Man, it don't make any sense, man.
[00:09:05]  It's just crazy.
[00:09:06]  These politicians, Biden and Kamala, I mean, not only did y'all screw up the U.S., y'all actually screwing up the entire globe.
[00:09:14]  Y'all spread like cancer all over the freaking globe.
[00:09:18]  Y'all cost all of this with a little diplomacy.
[00:09:21]  Look, you can't join NATO.
[00:09:23]  Yeah.
[00:09:24]  Just be your own sovereign nation.
[00:09:25]  Just leave.
[00:09:26]  Ah, fuck.
[00:09:27]  Hey, remember that video he posted?
[00:09:28]  He said, oh, Biden?
[00:09:31]  Yeah, This one Biden before he got in the office.
[00:09:38]  This is what he said about Putin.
[00:09:39]  Because Putin knows if I am president of the United States, his days of tyranny and trying to intimidate the United States and those in Eastern Europe are over.
[00:09:49]  I'm going to stand up to him.
[00:09:51]  He's a bully, just like the president.
[00:09:53]  And I know he doesn't want me to be president, but to tell you what, when I'm president, things are going to change.
[00:09:59]  And what is he doing now?
[00:10:00]  Some shank, some, man.
[00:10:04]  Sanctions?
[00:10:05]  He's all talk.
[00:10:06]  Sanctions.
[00:10:07]  Biden is the biggest liar.
[00:10:09]  He lies about everything.
[00:10:10]  Everything that comes out that man's mouth is a lie.
[00:10:13]  Like COVID.
[00:10:14]  He's going to stop.
[00:10:16]  Man.
[00:10:18]  He lied about everything.
[00:10:20]  Everything that comes out that man's mouth is a lie.
[00:10:24]  And in Ukraine and the United States of America and our citizens, we're going to pay the consequences.
[00:10:30]  For the people that voted for that jackass.
[00:10:32]  Yeah, inflation.
[00:10:32]  And ain't nobody fighting Russia.
[00:10:35]  Yeah.
[00:10:35]  And y'all forced...
[00:10:36]  Nah, I'm just, I'm just repeating myself.
[00:10:39]  Biden, you f how you get a job and fuck Everything
