The best video that I've seen was the one on the earlier crisis in Ukraine (from 2014).

John Mearsheimer is a professor of political science at U of Chicago and his presentation is spot on. You should watch the video to its end. The Q&A session has some amazing insights as well (such as the impact of the media and the greater threat posed by China, and the fact that the interventionist U.S. foreign policy ironically leads us into many wars and then many lost wars because we never have a magical exit strategy).

In the end, the U.S. foreign policy promoted by the liberals and neo-cons is causing great harm.

The Mearsheimer video is a good video. Beck hits on some of the same themes, actually. Russia and China are nationalist in outlook and will do what they feel is in their best interest and to hell with other countries.

The EU and US are trending toward a more unified, global identity, albeit at different rates and with some starts and stops (Brexit). One thing for sure, once a government gets control of some facet of your life, it seldom wants to relinquish that control.
