  • Like father, not like son. GHW Bush was a lot better than his crackhead son. I think hes underrated as an effective president.

  • It's nothing short of a miracle that events back then didn't actually come quite to this. Gorbachev was facing a huge and hostile military and party establishment, and yet he could manage to deconstruct the Soviet state. Russia is still a long way from being a true democracy but if there is a Russian Spring, it may yet well become one.

  • Holy Mother Russia had a lot of plans during those days. Russia and occupied Syria started it by blowing up the US Marines in Beirut, Lebanon. Then they just kept attacking the American people including myself.. I'm not a part of any global, international conspiracy, I'm just a citizen of the United States/ Every time I had a child, I was attacked like a dog. My name is LA (Bell). After 30 years, some Russian came to the college that I was attending and threatened to arrest me..my name is LA.

  • Too bad this didn´t happen.

    "The Warsawa Pact is for now on known as the Eastern Alliance."

  • Government's suck at doing things. They do only that which is necassary to keep their country safe and clean. That's it. Other than that, stay away

  • This is an AWESOME documentary. GOD JOB!

  • Man, I love the use of rreal clips, it's a great edit job. And....it shows that GWB (Senior) was LIGHTYEARS more knowledgeable about foreign policy issues than his own son....LIGHTYEARS....

  • @20thcenturyfilmdocs Well that is true, but there are still people in this country that think Jr. was a heroic figure. Now invading Afghanistan was one thing and for Bush to invade Iraq and those who support him are complete idiots and will say some of the most ridiculous shit ever uttered. Including that Bush Jr. freed 50 million Muslims and deserves the NPP for it. I ask these same people, if Iraq is such a great democracy then move there. No takers.

  • Death penalty for homos in Iraq and for apostats in Afghanistan.

  • @Fridaey13txhOktober As it should be!!

  • Ah, Senator PHYYYLL GRAAAAAAHHAM!  The Human Turtle

  • bullshit...it was well planned and that is why gorbachiov was not killed and coup failed...with the largest army in history of the world...bullshit...satanists planned this some 60 years before it happened.

  • Russia is still the enemy

  • @trifulquita15 It sucks, but it's true. That's just the way it is

  • The guy who made these clips deserves a medal, a real thinker, past politics, he knows whats happening, so rare, he could"nt be American....could he??? IF so, KUDOS to you mate!!:)

  • What an idiot, how the fuck did HE get into power, Gorbachov was HOPE!!! What a disaster!! So sad!!

  • When one considers the nature of politics and crowd morality, the breakup of the U.S.S.R into Russia and its satellites states, how does an individual rise to levels of power and responsibility in government?

    Hitler, Stalin, and Mao Tse Tung rose out of the political underclass of civil society. WW I & II provided the military milieu wherein "Law and Order" functioned as "The Technological Society".

    National Socialism and Communism were largely national organizations based on a "Police State."

  • @spiritech999 Good to see a well thought out, intelligent comment, well done!!:) A breath of fresh air!

  • @spiritech999 Problem is though, police states, by whatever name they hide behind, are becoming more common, whether the people know it or not. It creeps in slowly with the changing of laws, only for the GOOD of the people,lol Rights are gradually eroded to the point where a sane man cannot deny it , we are being controlled more and more, the States at the moment , they have all the excuses to take more of your rights away, What. With the war on terror[American proclaimed] flat out!!

  • oh please and there are boogymen too

  • @debbyLYT The claim that the attack on the twin towers, pentagon & flight 93? / shanksville, was planned by your own goverment is American lead, it's also claimed members of your goverment & military had JFK murdered. Personally i think all those claims are bollocks, i've seen US shows saying you did'nt go to the moon it was faked again to me bollocks you went & if you want a bogeyman what about Nixon & if you want boogeyman what about John Lennon. America land of the free home of the cheapshot

  • @tharleyify Look at the evidence, are you blind, deaf and stupid, JFK WAS murdered by your own government, thats obvious to anyone with a brain not WASHED!!!Australian, and proud of it. We, are not perfect, but, we dont get up to the crap your CIA and other agencys do!!!! And try to make sense, not that drivel!!

  • @TheZacdes You've lost me fella & I'm English.

  • @TheZacdes Wherever you come from bud, your sadly deluded, and obviously your lost, do some reading, fact, not fiction! My comment was easily understandable, unlike your poorly constructed drivel, so your a pom, big deal, you know nothing of world affairs!!! Ime Australian, and this is not the land of the cheap shot!!!

  • @tharleyify Land of the free, What a joke, free to do what,lol Shove your stupid opinions down other countrys throat ,at gunpoint!!!,lol ha ha!

  • @tharleyify You get lost very easily. Regardless if you are American or not, its very plain from the evidence that JFK WAS killed by his own people, have a good look, there is a mountain of PROOF to back this up! As for the moon and other crap, ime with you, but there are still questions to be answered about 9/11! building 7, for a START, was hit by nothing, yet collapsed perfectly as only the best demolition teams could do, if asked to,WHY?

  • @tharleyify Did you see the President when he heard the news, he was reading to some schoolkids when he was told, he mumbled, and went on reading to the kids!!! Is that the reaction you would expect! Many professional experts in America are crying out for an inquiry, no joy there, thats for sure. Who knows?? But, a proper investigation is warranted! They have been up to some nasty shit in the last 50 years, who knows??

  • Strangely tonight on UK TV there is a show about the USA's plan to invade the UK & Canada ( They had plans for internment camps on the US, Canadian border ) & plans for Australia, New Zeland,& all other places with British ties.

    This is not made up, this is real world.

  • @tharleyify oh please me thinks youve been hitting the happy pills too many times

  • @debbyLYT Channel 5 UK TV " America's planned War On Britain; Revealed. It's on the website watch it.

    The time frame is the 1930's so not for one minute do i expect to be invaded, & everytime i've been to the states the people have been lovely.. oh please i was watching a movie called world war 3.

  • @debbyLYT Get stuck in to em deb:)

  • @tharleyify Scary as it might seem, I cannot see the U.S invading the U.K and the rest of Europe. Where will they get the funds from? They can barely feed themselves as it is right now. And yes, I have heard of these FEMA camps, just thinking of them makes me scared on the behalf of the U.S citizens. Let´s just hope that history will not repeat itself this time. For the sake of every one on this beautiful yet beaten up planet of ours.

  • @TheDraeStar Cant argue with most of what you said,but, America does not have to invade. All those ICBMs just sitting there, Big WORRY!!!

  • @TheDraeStar True, large scale invasion is out of the financial question, these days, but in the past,they had all sorts of plans, sinister, would be the word!! Now, they only concentrate on places that have VALUE for them... DO you see them in Somalia, helping out, no way, theres nothing there for them Global bullies, gotta keep that armaments industry going flat out, JOBS!! And, after who really runs the country, BIG BIZ! America NEEDS an enemy, their economy is relying on it, but, thats NOW!

  • @tharleyify The HAD plans, for world war three, they just needed enough for 1000 more ICBMs and it would have been on, with ACCEPTABLE losses on their side!!! FACT!! Thank christ, they never got the money. I mean by acceptable losses,...What they THINK, not they, have a clue what a widescale exchange would do to earth!!

  • Orsen Wells, 'War of the Worlds'; this is every bit as convincing.

    I was convinced saying out loud to myself, "wait! this is not how it was.

    Forgetting entirely that this is very well constructed fiction. A fiction however that we should remember came very close to becoming fact.

  • wat a propaganda shit. find the real story in the bilderberg group. rothshild, free mason.

    that east german officer in this vid is a german actor and not real.

  • @tbx77 dude, it's alternate history. ofcourse they're all actors!

  • @BattlestarHailfire jep, youre damn right. germany has not even his sovereignty back and is still occupied by the elite through the UK, USA, France. the good news is you cant hide the truth for all times and many people are waking up.

  • @tbx77 no germany is now free and united after years of soviet oppression. more and more people are getting brainwashed by people like you. they should wake up

  • @tbx77 Hehe. There's no pulling the wool over your eyes. Thank goodness we have you to sort the truth from the fiction for us :)

  • @MrRik2 .....so tell me wat you see, tell a german how it is, have you ever been to germany? or do you now anything about international laws? you probably believe in santa claus because he is on tv.

  • @tbx77 Yes, as a European, I've been to Germany several times. My point was that this is not attempting to be anything other than an alternative history, a fiction, with actors. Something you appear to have totally missed from inside your bizarre paranoid fantasy.

  • @MrRik2 Dunno about that mate,Thats not what you said at all, you sounded sadly misinformed. You were not talking about any movie, you were stating that germany is not free. Ever heard of the EEC bud, bit behind the times arent you!! There was no mention of an alternative history. Have a look! So i hardy think that anyone else is having a paranoid fantasy,lol .Damn that shit, its on the record,lol.

  • @TheZacdes I think you've replied to the wrong person, chap. I never said anything about Germany not being free.

  • @MrRik2 My Bad man, i"(t was meant for that cretin tbx77

  • @TheZacdes Hehe. I thought so! No prob, man. And good luck talking reason into the unreasoning :)

  • @MrRik2 ......did i got your massage right ? by reading it again i maybe wrong with my first massage ;-)

    ....if so sy.

  • so, why do you even bother have conversation with me dose it make you penis feel a good deal bigger?

    or is you live so damn down the wrong way so you have to try making a bizarre paranoid move on someone.

  • @tbx77 No, I was simply amused by the fact that you seemed to imagine that this was an attempt to fool anyone into believing it was the truth. I was also amused by the fact that you seem to believe yourself to be the only one in full possession of the facts about the international situation and the Cold War.

    I'm afraid you'll need to explain the phrase "try making a bizarre paranoid move on someone". It appears to me to be gibberish.

  • 0:59 hurr durr my birthdap

  • Did he say that the Prague uprising was called "Prague Spring"? As in "Arab Spring"? Sounds like CIA meddling.

  • @hrdknox2000 Yes, Prague Spring. That's where the media got the phrase "Arab Spring" from.

  • in ww3 which i believe will happen in the next 15 years. This time it be a long struggle in the middle east

  • "Bob Dole doesn't think it's good news. Bob Dole thinks it's bad news. Bob Dole, Bob Dole, Bad News, Bob Dole...Bad Dole?"

  • @electrogeek77 Epic. Lol

  • @electrogeek77 Their all IDIOTS!!!

  • Kids today cannot comprehend the Cold War. My generation wondered if this was the night, the bombs fell.

  • imagine being the one to push the button, knowing you had just killed millions and fucked the world....

  • @MegaPatrick1997 it would be the best job in the world, imagine one push of that button and 200 million russian vermin get a perminant suntan.

  • @bluebird19271982 Thats the sort of thinking we need more of, fry those commie bastards, Oh, and dont forget the sand niggas,lol Where the fuck do they come frok,lolhqaha Oh, i got it, under a rock,lol

  • General Soshkin was something rare in Russia, a fully gay homosexual general. He even married a Cuban man-husband with the western name of Bill, (Bill Soshkin). General Soshkin also created the famed 163rd, all Gay Russian Paratroopers known as the flying pink kittens! Vladimir & Bill are now retired and live in Florida, they often lunch with Jeb Bush. (source: Fox News, May 12 / 2010).

  • @48alfaone Great post!

  • @48alfaone Like the honey badger, he don't give a shit.

    

  • @48alfaone I remember the 163rd. Not only were they paratroopers (I loved the hot pink parachutes) but when they assaulted a house, they also did a complete makeover for the house and the folks inside.

  • Comment removed

  • similar thing are going on in yemon and libyria

  • I can see why this gets NO airtime now. Too much talk about protecting Socialism with armed force! Very cool that you posted it, thanks.

  • 04:19 Doesn't he mean Ronald Rayguns lol

  • LOL at the voice over at 7:56 XD

  • Where can I buy this? Searching World War 3 on amazon doesn't help at all.

  • Check out the ginger mullet on 6 mins 30 seconds!

  • Im from the Soviet Union and Perestroika was the worst thing that happened....he could make the Soviet Union powerfull but instead that prick destroyed it .

  • im sorry your country had to go like that, but at least the cold war stopped...

  • @QuitePossiblyANinja

    cold war stopped with russia and usa and now OIL war started....

  • @DJMikaelito Indeed, it is the start of the resource wars. Those are the wars that will destroy the world.

  • @gtaclevelandcity

    Usa and Russia need to combine forces....they all together with the EU have too many enemys mostly radical shitslam.

  • @DJMikaelito

    Heh, "make it powerful", right.

    And what would YOU do with that? What does "powerful" mean? To have the war machine with the ability to destroy civilization? or to have a society that's free?

    Yeah how it collapsed, and what happened after wasn't good for the Russian people, but they've been through far worse (think 1920's) and got back up. A generation or two needs to pass before life gets to normal.

    The USSR was unsustainable. The fact that it collapsed is a good one.

    Period.

  • @DJMikaelito trying to imperialise a bunch of satellite nations was destroying it, between that and the arms race the conservative leadership had bankrupted the entire soviet union, the fiscal hardship of the 90s was going to happen anyway but the difference is Gorbachev put in place the ability for recovery in recent years as the CIS. When the hard liners took over in 91 all they were doing is becoming the corruption in Russia now. If they took over earlier there would be no CIS or USSR today.

  • @01vanir

    But there is not USSR today >_>

    im not a commie but i would like to live there.....you dont know it was a PURE STATE....

  • oh my god, have you seen the ridicolous argument below me? hahahhaha, those guys are funny, man..

  • Some would say the U.S. needs a non fictional version of this fictional alterante version of events

  • @vardiss22 I'd like to know who would say that. :/ Anyone with half a brain in the world realizes we should be grateful the Cold War did NOT end like this.

  • We need a Fictional History Channel

  • @gonadcancervictim We do. It's called the History Channel. Check out their programs for Nostradamus, the Bible Code, and the like. It leaves a bad taste in one's mouth

  • @gonadcancervictim We already have one! "Ancient Aliens", "Chucucabras", and other nonsense! Bring back the Hitler Channel! :)

  • @antimatterXXXIII i think he means alternate history, and yeah lol the history channel really isnt all that real, the should focus more on what they used to.

  • @gonadcancervictim Yeah, Hitler doesn't invade Russia, Switzerland and Spain join the Nazis, Japan invades Siberia and Australia. Thought about this a thousand times.

  • @gonadcancervictim : You already have numerous ones....they're called CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC.

  • @gonadcancervictim That's what the History Channel is right about now.

  • @gonadcancervictim Yeah, one where they play fictional Ice Road Truckers and fictional Swamp Men.

    Wait... that doesn't sound good at all.

  • @outwrangle Their version of Ice Road Truckers would be footage of Zamboni drivers on rinks sets to dramatic music.

  • @gonadcancervictim It would be pretty cool!

  • @gonadcancervictim We already have a fictional history channel,its called the history channel. its like that scene out of V for Vendetta,"We dont make up the news,thats the governments job,we just report it."

  • @gonadcancervictim More like brain cancer,lol Fiction??? Get an education IDIOT!!!

  • @gonadcancervictim

    i thought we allready had one !!

  • A good puting  together of the real footage of the hard line coup agianst Gorbachaov that did happen in August 1991with this alternative history. I remember in those 3 days the world did fold its breath to see who would come on top.

  • loled at the dub 7:56

  • @Trimiant Sounds like the translator; the question was obviously answered in German' assuming the question was also asked in the same language.

  • To be quite honest it doesn't matter what economic ideology was/is superior be it State Capitalism or Free Market Private Capitalism, if they launched the missiles the human race would have committed suicide they're would have been no point in living after nuclear holocaust. Fuck the Soviet Union, Fuck the USA and fuck anyone who would consider using nuclear weapons.

  • Thank you for uploading this it's really interesting to watch this.

  • The moment someone like Honecker started talking about "Chinese-style solutions" to political problems (in this movie), that would have been the signal for the U.S. and NATO to get ready to lock and load...

  • god given right? how arrogant the yankees are

  • @graciemaemarie11 ya how stupid of us to think we can walk into terriorty we are in control of after world war two...fucking moron

  • Facinating.

  • Really good. Lots of things in it refers to real events.

    1. The coup really happenned but failed.

    2. In 1983 stanislav petrov didnt tell his superiors that he detected a launch. He believed that a single launch was a joke. It was a malfunction.

  • great shit, not seen this.

  • Great fiction!

  • ЭТО 1:48 АКТЕР СОВЕТСКОГО СОЮЗА , я не помню как его фамилия !

  • Socialism is EVIL PERIOD! 

  • @NOBULLSPIN1 Yeah, too bad too many people see otherwise...

  • @NOBULLSPIN1 Not as evil as capitalism

  • @06hurdwp capitalism is NOT evil. liberalism or socialism or communism is PURE EVIL.

  • @SocratesTheGadfly

    Elaborate.

    

  • @SocratesTheGadfly HAHAHA cuntservatives are so fucking stupid

  • @DaytonaRoadster ah yes, yet another brain dead, mindless and gutless liberal trying to be funny and failing miserably. so how do you function in society with such a limited intellect, diminished IQ and a solitary brain cell. if you actually had an original thought you would surprise the world. otherwise, your banality and utter lack of originality PROVES that you are a FOOL. you have my PITY!

  • @SocratesTheGadfly call me a liberal, my entire channel is about guns, LOL. I'm glad all cuntservaties are as retarded as you

  • @DaytonaRoadster well pardon me little man, maybe when you grow up and find some wisdom you will understand. until then it is quite obvious that you must fantasize about playing with guns to compensate for an inferior intellect and manhood. you have my sincere PITY!

  • @SocratesTheGadfly fantasize..lol i'm a gunsmith, its my job. It odvious your a butthurt jealous faggot reaching for straws in a argument you already lost, enjoy your fail

  • @DaytonaRoadster actually quite the opposite. when someone of your limited intellect, diminished IQ and retarded intelligence resorts to petty insults of name calling it is YOU who have LOST the argument. now run along home little man and crawl under your bed and fantasize about whatever thrills you. you have my sincere PITY for your cognitive dissonance

  • It's a good topic, but the movie isn't edited very well, and that kind of lessens the impact.

  • doesn't the person at 2:12 look retarded ???

  • wow they wove this together well, i dint even realise when it moved into the fictional phase of the story! excellently done, the general guy actor over acted thats when i realised this is the fakeness. really good tho anyway. glad it never went like that, it easily could have. hey ill take a bog mac while watching mtv over soviet oppression any day!

  • Sei de uns web sites famozos onde se pode dar a nossa opinião sobre outros sites e acho que vou lá fazer umas queixas más sobre o YOUTUBE pois eu não sei o que se passa mas o youtube parece que me esta a abrandar a velocidade de upload dos videos......pois chego a estar 20 minutos para ver um video de 5min......

  • Around 4:20 "There is a man who had his finger on the nuclear button that shall we say was not playing with a full deck" hmm, Ronald Reagan and George W Bush were?

  • @millertas Actually, it was George Herbert Walker (H. W.) Bush. Not to be an ass, but that's who was president in 1989

  • Russia, Libya, Syria, Iraq - all of america's enemy fall. Sooner or later.

  • @davidstein250 Nope, nations rise and empires fall, right now it's the fall of the american one, America wont last long, they will just be the romans of the 20th and 21st centuries and it is almost certain that it will collapse under it's own weight.

  • HAHAHAHAHAAH

    He laughs at the general for thinking that the british and amerikans had a masterplan against soviet union?

    WHAT THE HELL DIDN'T THE AMERIKANS THINK ABOUT THE USSR!? xD

    Fucking bullshit CIA nigger... They always had plans against socialism, alongside USSR having plans against capitalism.

  • @Sottef "They always had plans against socialism..." Socialism??? ...Communism with a Dictator as the cherry on top is what I saw growing up.

  • General Shushkov = General Petraeus

  • if dukakis had gotten elected in 1988, i believe the russians would have attacked us just to avoid economic collapse. thank God the soviet union collapsed before clinton got elected. they would have smelled weakness.

  • A lot of heated debate on this channel. Better with words than guns.

  • @ron22696 Hear hear. I'd rather call you an asshole and you call me a cock-sucking mother fucker, then someone go to arms. This shit may be retarded but it beats hurting each other, eh?

  • @ron22696 Well said.

  • @ron22696 then what happens when your country gets invaded? what will you do? talk them to death? i understand war is not good thing but peace will never be an option unless EVERYONE is up to it. and as you can see today, in certain countries, talking to them just isn't their thing. better luck next time

  • I personaly believe that we were REALLY LUCKY as humanity that we survived this so called "Cold war crisis".It was a total madness back then.Both superpowers had their fingers on the buttons and the rest of the world was looking stuned for the next move.You were falling to sleep and you didn't even knew if you will see the next morning.How pathetic we are as a specie...

  • when was this made?

  • I hope Russia,USA and UK unite.Nobody will fuck with them after that.

  • @Morozov97 How small brain you have.How unexistable thing you can be.So that what it counts for you?Another one who wants to be enslaved?You live in the matrix and you are so attached on it that you will even fight to protect it.We are Terans.We are humans.We should be united without any war.Any political agentas going underground.Any scandals or whatsoever.Humanity stayed behind in evolution because there still exists "meta-modernized" apes like you.I am so sorry for you cause you are doomed...

  • i am british and i like russia it is a beutifull country we were allies in the past and i hope britain and russia will one day become allies again...

  • the people who want out of the US have never traveled overseas.

  • @muktuklou, In your opinion, we're moving to the UK from the US next spring. The US isn't the 'Land of milk and honey' it was once thought to be.

  • @AdrianInflorida I don't believe that to be true 'just yet'

    Still , only in the USA can you come here with nothing and make a fortune or become what you want to be because of all of the opportunities here.

    From what I gather from my overseas travels is that it is almost impossible to do those things unless you already have money or a connection.

    What us 'eyes wide open' Americans see is the present trend to move toward European Socialism. Heavy taxes and a massive dependant class.

  • @AdrianInflorida Also, a massive govement and hedonistic liberal social policies. The destruction of family and the devalument of life with abortion on demand and uthinasia (However you spell it).

    What we still have can be lost if the democratic party has its way in the long term. The UK have lots more muslims than the US ; who are pushing to "Islamise' the UK. Muslim women have to get 'clitorectamies' (genetal mutilation) and have to wear burkas. The UK is being over-run by Muslums.

  • Is that duckie from NCIS?

  • That is what I would have done, cleansed the streets of Berlin with flame-throwers and heavy machine-guns.

  • the russians should have left with everyone else when they agreed to leave. thus reaviling another example of the corruption

  • The voice of the Narrator sounds like Solo's U.N.C.L.E agent buddy!

  • @Magni56

    Just out of curiosity, how will Iran import and export anything. They are blockading the GULF themselves.

  • Step to destroy Irans Air Force. Nobody in the world reports that Iran has more than a few hundred state of the art Jerts

    Blockade Iran, Even the best jets can't operate without parts, destroying all aircraft that enter a war zone will ensure that they are unable to fly.

    Declare that anyone caught fighting out of uniform will be executed as a spy and cremated.

    Declare that acts of terrorism will be seen as Islamic and that terrorist will be executed and created.

  • @CSATexan

    @CSATexan

    Too bad that the Iranians produce the vast majority of their airplane parts indigenously. Oh, and the fact that Iran will answer a blockade by blockading the Straits of Hormuz in turn.

    Your tough guy shit about executing people is completely useless. The Soviets did that kind of thing in Afghanistan and it only made matters worse.

  • @Magni56

    The Soviets and US also did the same thing in Germany.

    And if that isn't recent enough for ya, Saddam did the exact same thing in 1991 during the Iraqi uprising . He put it down in a few weeks.

  • @CSATexan

    False. Neither the Soviets nor the Allies committed anything thew like in Germany. Not that there was an actualinsurgency in the first place, which makes the comaprison nothing more but utterly stupid.

    All your grand tough guy mass murder routine will net you is the complete political isolation of the US and a population that will fight you to the death in a guerilla war that will make Vietnam look like a fucking picnic.
