Pat (Valuetainment) has 6.5 million subscribers. He has interviewed some of the most powerful people in the world and his explanation is clear, concise and thorough. He gets it!!! It’s a pity that many, many people worldwide just dismiss Russia as being a backward hole where the people live in 3rd world conditions and Putin is a tyrant!! How wrong they are!! Russia is a Democracy and the West have propagandised it. This is one country we need to be an ally with but sadly, I think that will never happen now. Putin doesn’t trust the West or the EU and UK.

BTW The very thing that happened/started in Ukraine/Russia some 16 years ago, is happening this very minute in GEORGIA - which incidentally has borders with Russia. See a pattern??
