    Here’s an extra video for the week. Expect a normal video Friday!
  • There's having a successful union, then there's not having a successful union, and then there's having a union that even the Aral Sea decides to quit...
  • I like how he doesn't bother to map out the changing frontlines of conflicts, yet he perfectly shows the year-by-year destruction of the Aral Sea
  • @julianodriozola
    funny enough, i like how the aral sea gets drained alongside the video
  • @cow1816
    Funny how the CSTO was created for defense, and then Russia invaded a CSTO member. There might have been regional conflicts between NATO countries, but a full on war has not happened.

    At the world junior hockey championship in 1991, which started Dec 26, the day of the collapse, they continued playing as the USSR until Jan 1, on which the were renamed the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) with all but three players not being from CIS countries,
  • Half assed Nato Half assed EU Half assed great power Would hate to be Russia ngl
  • @Rynewulf
    I love how the have to put 'independent' in the title, just to make sure we know how totally independent they all are
  • @KamepinUA
    Nagorno Karabakh isnt supposed to exist in the final slide
  • @ocularzombie6679
    I prefer the Confederacy of Independent Systems, thank you very much.
  • @Wesyan1999
    If you look closely you can see that the Baltic states wanted way less than none of that
  • @BengVideo
    you could have removed the Karabakh independent nation in Aserbaijan in "Present" because it was dissolved and when Donbass was shown as "independent states" you could have showed the actually controlled regions and not the whole regions but still nice eye for details like correct flags based on the timeline
  • @haroeneissa790
    I love how the baltic countries never even bothered to join. They were just happy that they finally managed to escape.
  • @Simon-ki8wq
    Doomed to fail like the CIS in StarWars imao
  • There's a small mistake that the Republic of Artsakh is now fully integrated Azerbaijani territory and is thus part of CSTO
  • @PopEwLair
    Russia never fails to embarrass itself in most of its conflicts 🗣️💯💯💀🔥🤡
