One of the best ever!? We need all the interviews combined and lumped into 8hr + mammoth histories that we can look back on in the future to help guide our reflections.

yes, just doing her job asking questions, listening, following up then going home. truly a lost art.

Kate fails to use gotcha questions and especially fails to push the woke narrative. Annoyingly she actually listens to her interviewees. How can this be allowed?

Are you not tired of this "woke narrative" nonsense yet? Depressing to read under such an illuminating video.

I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I don't anyone will, its on a downward spiral 😢

Hear hear! I think Kate is one of the best interviewers on here. She probes for very interesting answers and allows the interviewee to give a profound answer - far more intesting to the listener. Good long conversations are so much more valuable than 5 min slots on TV news programmes.

@@SimonGardiner-bj3pq has TR been right one single time since the war started..?

@@briancarno8837 "has TR been right" If you listen to the interview, you will hear that Kate asks questions, she does not express opinions. Perhaps where you come from you expect the media to tell you what to think. Если вы прослушаете интервью, то услышите, что Кейт задает вопросы, а не высказывает свое мнение. Возможно, там, откуда вы родом, вы ожидаете, что СМИ будут говорить вам, что думать.

I agree. One of the best discussions on this topic that I have heard in a while. Here is an email I sent to a friend of mine that recommended I watch it. "I just listened to this while cleaning my office/man cave. Wow! What an excellent and informative discussion between three learned individuals. And especially their differences of opinion AND mutual respect that they showed each other was so impressive."

In a sense that the West action was the main reason for this war, you are correct. But it was known for a long time and all real experts could anticipate a war. The fact is that politicians in the West planned the war by playing Putin

Peter Zeihan often makes very far reaching predictions, that are most likely false, and he has an agenda. Still some of his analysis are enlightening.

He makes predictions based upon the best available evidence, and contrary to your claims, he's mostly gotten them right. If you listen to him talk, he's not shy about couching his predictions in uncertainty when he genuinely isn't sure, which means that when he makes definitive statements, he does so for good reason. The man's not a prophet, but he's a better analyst than most.

@@elterrifico9522 Specify what information is particularly fake? What information should counter it. What position do you have to know differently? Anyone can just claim "fake". What matters is the basis for what is said. Example, Russian Ministry claims to have destroyed Ukraine's Patriot system. A few days later the Patriot system downed 5 Russian planes in Bryansk region. Further example, Russia today claimed it destroyed 6 F 16s in Odesa. There were no F 16s in Odesa. These are examples of fake news.

And we will laugh, as we are laughing now at how you are being led by the nose.

You have a great point. Vatniks would use this analogy to say because England did it, it's okay for russia to do it too but in the 21st century I personally think the whole world should stand against any conquest like this. It should be seen as unacceptable on the world stage

Have been - hundred or more years ago. Russia is still the same evil empire that England was at the time of William Wallace. Russia is evil.

@@deadlyey5 So, that would apply to China, but it won't deter them !

When say you "The English in their heart of hearts don't see the Scots, Welsh or Irish as equal to them" I assume hope you are referring to Westminster and Whitehall, and even then I'm not sure I'd agree with you on that. But from a personal stand point, I'm English and I regard the peoples of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as our equals and brethren. Wether they feel the same way or not is a different matter and one that's up to them. But please be specific when referring to certain people and how they feel because I can promise you there are many Englishmen and women in my life whom I've met all over England that have nothing but love for their neighbours to the north, west and across the Irish Sea. And I've met scarcely a handful that feel otherwise. -PS recognise that you might indeed be English yourself! But if so thats all the more reason not to make such a broad generalisation of English public's attitudes to our neighbours and indeed fellow citizens. For the record: I'm a unapologetic unionist and would be absolutely heartbroken to see the United Kingdom break apart, but with that said I believe in self determination and would accept (albeit with a broken heart) any of the aforementioned nations seeking independence and breaking away from the union. Also in closing I do however concede that your point of historical cultural and language erasure, planted population and land theft is not an invalid one. It's sadly a part of our history now. I only hope like so many before that things improve for all mankind, whomever they are, wherever it is they might be.

No race see each other as equals. Humans are naturally tribalistic by nature and will always have preference for those who are more genetically similar to them. Also comparing the English psych as akin to the Russian psych is also an asinine analogy. English are classical libertarians by nature while Russians have always seen themselves as being collective. English and Russian history are not the same

This is a mainstream propaganda. Not an independent media platform.

@@goenzoy712 No, you are dreaming. What inflation doing? What shortages doing? What interest rates doing? What medical shortages doing? What loans rates doing? Etc. Etc.

@goenzoy712 1] Russia's dominance in the Black Sea is gone, in the Baltic Sea dito. 2] Russia's military as a whole is seriously weakened. 3] Less access to advanced technology means less perspective for their future. 4] Over 30 % of the federal budget 2024 is reserved for nationial security including defence which is unsustainable. 4] Breaking international law and confiscating Western firms including billions worth of civilian aircraft has eliminated any trustworthiness in Russia as an international partner. 5] Increased suppression and lack of respect for human life has made Russia's model of society even more unattractive for younger people than before. 6] Average life expectancy puts Russia at nr. 134 [!] of the list [World Bank 2021], by far the worst of the developed countries. Do you still seriously think Russia is 'stronger strategically than it was in 2021' !?

Not sure which country you are talking about . UK trade deficit with China is around 45 billion per year now and trade between Russia and China doubled on Yuan basis

China can deliver any import need of Russia so believing Russia being cut off technology is just nonsense.Baltic and Black sea are totally irrelevant for world trade Poland the biggest country there is less important then Switzerland and Baltic states are just dwarfs . In Ethiopia more babies where born since war started then whole Baltic countries population combined.And in 5 years it will be even worse when Germany supplies are all coming via Belgium,Adriatic sea

It was actually before the USSR collapse -- the 1980's created the gangster-like KGB which became obsessed with making money.

Does Peter even speak Russian - what qualifies him as an expert on Russia?

People who quote this statement usually take out of context, whether due to ignorance or malice. There’s a second part to it that explains what he meant. He spoke about Russians who, as a result of the collapse of the Union, “suddenly found themselves abroad” without the opportunity to return to their homeland. “It was impossible for them to return, to reunite with their relatives. There was no place to work, no place to live. This is a great humanitarian tragedy, without any exaggeration.”

Putin also said "Those that don't miss the Soviet Union don't have a heart & those that want it resurrected don't have a brain".

​@@natalieblack1698 congratulations on the remembering 👍

@@smalex The USSR claimed that all the time ... where is the USSR now, botski? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

but he started a catastrophic war that he cannot win, therefore the chances that Putin can stay in power go down. He won't be there in 2 years. If he makes progress in Ukraine , the West give Ukraine more advanced weapons to push Russia back,

The collapse of empires can take decades.

Not always, see how the US declined in just a year! They loose the Ukraine war against Russia and can’t even beat the Hutis in Yemen or H@mas in gaza. It is a very fast paced decline, the debacle is very near.

As for Putin, hmm, all's well that ends.

Nothing they said about modern day is based upon things actually happening. You can easily check for yourself. Wishful narratives (or fables) are not real.

Pavel (or Ivan), you should pay attention to the word "vital" that appears in the following letter from Stalin to Roosevelt: "Your decision, Mr President, to grant the Soviet Union an interest-free loan to the value of $1,000,000,000 to meet deliveries of munitions and raw materials to the Soviet Union is accepted by the Soviet Government with heartfelt gratitude as vital aid to the Soviet Union in its tremendous and onerous struggle against our common enemy - bloody Hitlerism. On instructions from the Government of the U.S.S.R. I express complete agreement with your terms for granting the loan, repayment of which shall begin five years after the end of the war and continue over 10 years after expiration of the five-year period. The Soviet Government is ready to do everything to supply the United States of America with such commodities and raw materials as are available and as the United States may need. As regards your wish, Mr President, that direct personal contact be established between you and me without delay if circumstances so require, I gladly join you in that wish and am ready, for my part, to do all in my power to bring it about. Yours very sincerely, J. Stalin "

We're not listening to this like they are psychics 😅 You take everything with a grain of salt.

Yeah and all of NATO predicted the exact same thing pre-war.

Could anyone have reasonably predicted that, with colossal ex-Soviet military resources, the Russian military would have been so staggeringly ineffective? I think that we all continue to be surprised.

All fake

@@elterrifico9522 yes you are fake. I know the truth hurts🫵🏻😂👍

This is how you sound: 😭

Even if some of the things you said is true it ignores the reality Russia is stronger now not weaker and only at the end we will know how it ends

Russians, and especially Soviets were taught to be this way. In the West people are taught from an early age to make choices; maybe 100 per day. The Soviets, and later the Russians were taught to obey; and that choices would be made for them by more "qualified" people. In Soviet times, these "qualified" people were the Party honchos; now that role has been taken by an authoritarian Putin regime for the benefit of the oligarchs. I had such hope for the Russian people in the early 1990s but in hindsight I don't think they ever had a chance to learn to live in a free pluralistic society.

Throughout history, Russians had a very special relationship with people who wield power. Tzars and emperors were referred to as “The Lord’s Anointed”, the one who reigns by the divine right, and their power was believed to be sacred. That's why these days the Russian “government” is thought to be a separate, almost miraculous entity, something entirely different from the people. As a result of this unhealthy relationship with the government, the regular Russian person is born with a rare genetic malfunction: an inborn submission to any authority.

​@@christianevanherck6023 It is hard to describe just how alien that mindset is to an American. We fought a revolution to get away from a Monarchy and we bristle at the very thought of a hereditary aristocracy. Our nation was founded upon a bedrock of distrust of government and elites of any sort.

@@goenzoy712 You offer no facts that might support your opinion. Therefore it looks like wishful thinking. In 2021 Russia was not under international sanctions and had gold in their hands economically speaking. Among other things, well paying reliable clients from the EU for oil and gas exports, joint ventures with western companies and know how to exploit those resources efficiently and hundreds of modern aircraft from Airbus or Boeing to maintain the necessity of Russia's civil aviation. And now? Do you really believe you know better than Binyon or Zeihan who analyze developments and both conclude that Russia is declining with even a risk of disintegration?
