   I recently fell into a rabbit hole of YouTube docs about wars from WW2's end till 2000

   Most of those wars were mostly caused or perpetuated by the US or USSR not wanting countries to go to the other side.

   In any video that shows the timeline of any war, there's scenes from the war, then it cuts to photos and scenes of politicians in the "master countries" sitting in their offices making decisions,

   looking worried, on the phone, arguing, exasperated etc but otherwise comfortable, in their armchairs or on their sofas, far far removed from the people dying in the war..

   ...It's amazing how people keep agreeing to that.

      Do you happen to know the video? I'm noticing a lot of channels putting out these history videos that tell a very anti us narrative because they leave out half the story.

         Real Time History was one, and I think it's good. Includes the USSR's blunders as well e.g in Afghanistan etc. not just "anti US"
