The linked channel proves how broken YouTube is: the guy shows just a map during the entire video and yet it has been hit and demonetized. The purpose clearly seems to silence the channel rather than asking for ransom, so I would assume there are Russian actors behind. Let's see how much time will take Google to address this flaw properly, assuming they will.

    Maybe if they're publicly painted as supporting Russians who want to censor news about Ukraine.

I still haven't figured out why a some Indians support Russia in the invasion and genocide of Ukraine. Am I missing some part of history? Or it's just resentment towards the West, and Ukrainians genocide would be a "failure of the west"?

  It may be due to a dynamic of right-wing leaders feeling that they are in the same clique against modern liberal secularism.

  Imagine that Laos gets attacked by Thailand and bunch of nearby countries freak out and ask you to sacrifice a good chunk of your GDP to show you care.

    One thing is to not care, other thing is to go out of your way to help Russia invade Ukraine.

  If you seek the truth, you will find it. In fact, a majority of people in this world are on the side of the Russians, despite what you were led to believe. A good starting point is to listen to Professor John Mearsheimer.

    1) "a majority of people in this world" don't give a fuck, factually speaking; 2) if they did, that still wouldn't be an independent reason to think that's correct--you may not have noticed, but most people are selfish, stupid, and ignorant; 3) "despite what you were led to believe." -- it was never a claim of anyone pro-Ukraine that the majority of people in the world are on their side. Nor should it be. The opinion of the majority does not determine what is right.

    Why do you claim the "majority of people" support the genocide of Ukraine? What have Ukrainians done to more than 5 billion people to support wiping out of Ukraine? If it was the majority, I shouldn't need to seek it, it would be out there to see.

  USSR was seen in a positive light vs the US and Modi appreciates Putin for the same reasons Trump does. It’s resentment and nationalism.
