Hey guys, Good news, the Ukraine video is coming this week! In addition, I'll put together a separate video about the potential Russian invasion. In preparation for that, I'd like to touch grass with you on some issues, to make sure we're on the same page (i.e. reality). Here are some important points to consider: 1) NATO is a defensive alliance. Countries join NATO by popular vote. When people use the term "NATO expansion", what they (should) mean is "sovereign countries voting to join".

나토는 방호조약이고 투표에 의해서 가입하는것이다 2) NATO will never invade Russia. Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal on the planet. If NATO invades Russia, the world ends. Nobody wants that.

나토는 절대 러시아를 선제공격하지 않는다. 러시아의 핵무기로 세계가 멸망할것을 알고 있기 때문이다

3) The Russian elite knows that NATO will never invade Russia. "Fear of NATO expansion" is just a cover for the actual goal, which is rebuilding the former Russian/Soviet sphere of influence. Some people want to treat Russia like some scared and confused animal without any agency of its own, lashing out against a perceived threat. This is an exotic misunderstanding of the situation.

이 사실은 러시아측도 알고있으며 나토확장에 위협을 느낀다는것은 실제 목표를 가리기 위한 기만책이다

4) If Russia feels "threatened" by sovereign countries joining a defensive alliance, that's Russia's problem. Imagine an abusive ex-husband feeling insecure about his ex-wife taking self-defense courses after he assaulted her multiple times following their divorce.

만약 실제로 러시아가 나토 확장에 위협을 느낀다면 그건 러시아의 적반하장이다

5) If Russia doesn't want NATO to expand, they shouldn't have created a puppet state inside Moldavia (1992), shouldn't have invaded Georgia (2008), shouldn't have annexed Crimea (2014), and shouldn't have maintained a low-intensity conflict in the Donbass (2014, ongoing).

러시아가 나토 확장을 원하지 않았다면 주변국을 공격하지 말았어야 했다

6) It is possible to be critical of both US and Russian imperialism at the same time. In fact, you should be. It is also possible to say that both are bad, AND acknowledge that Russian imperialism is worse. After all, both powers engage in foreign interventions, but at least the US doesn't annex neighboring countries, or threaten them militarily. US imperialism tends to happen through "soft power", i.e. capitalism, economic pressure, etc, while Russian imperialism is more "scorched earth", i.e. rolling in the tanks immediately after a country tries to drift away from their sphere of influence. See Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968, Ukraine in 2014, and so on.

러시아의 제국주의적 침략을 비판하는것은 미국의 자본주의적 침략을 변호하는것이 아니다. 하지만 미국보다 러시아의 침략이 악질이다

7) Supporting geopolitical enemies of the US will not help bring about a leftist utopia. As bad as the US is in many regards, its geopolitical enemies are far worse. Russia is an oligarchic autocracy that rigs elections and jails political opponents*, while China is a surveillance state tech-dystopia. Since there is no "third position", we choose the lesser of two evils, because above 80 IQ we do politics based on rationality, not raw emotions. *No, the US wanting to jail Snowden is not the same as Russia jailing Alexei Navalny.

미국의 지정학적 적을 돕는것은 좌파적 유토피아를 이루는데 그다지 도움이 되지 않는다. 미국이 아무리 나쁠지언정 러시아는 그를 초월한다
