I like Novara Media. They provide a different view of the world, one which is interesting, though not one I always agree with. But they are biased and this video is an example of that.
People forget the aggression of Russia towards its neighbours. At the end of The Cold War, a peace dividend took place. Following German unification, NATO promised no further Eastern expansion, but then Russia invaded Moldova and Georgia to "liberate" Transnistria and Abkhazia, both of which happened to have large Russian populations. After seeing this, other former Warsaw Pact nations wanted to join NATO. We have seen expansion continue with Sweden and Finland joining NATO following the second invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
So while Novara Media has a paranoid view of the threat of war, they forget that Russia has been the aggressor. Many may cite the actions of the west in Kosovo, Lybia, Iraq and Afghanistan, but none of those military interventions were acts of colonisation to recreate an empire.
