Ukraine doesn’t get 60 billion in cash most of the money goes to US arms suppliers.

Ron Johnsons next door neighbor should decide one day to move their property line 40% into his and claim it. Unbelievable this guy holds the position he does.

Ron Johnson is almost a tie for the dumbest US politician!

Ron Johnson is a disgrace! 😤

How to debunk Ron Johnson's entire debate 101: >Appeasement 1930s

Sen. Johnson is absolutely disgusting.

We won't call Ron Johnson "America first." Ron Johnson is Russia first.

Ron Johnson is a lot of what is wrong with America nowadays. A putin apologist i'm curious how much he has been paid to hold russia's talking points.

This should have happened a year ago, taking into account the initial, sensible caution. Twice before everyone dived in and we know what happened there, Meanwhile Ukraine has proved every day of the war that they are worthy of all the required assistance, by stepping up and defending itself.

Those poor people in Ukrain, they were living a happy life, and then putin happened, I feel so sorry fior them, life must be unbearble for them, I think of them al the time, may this end soon for them , I am an Australian, originaly from the Netherlands, may peace and happines return to you soon ❤❤❤

Ukraine 🇺🇦 has all the right in the world to protect its people and how they want to live free from Russia influences fight for your freedom Ukraine slava Ukraine

Funny how Ron Johnson thinks two years is too long for a "proxy war" in Ukraine while simultaneously thinking that 20 years was not long enough for a *direct* war in Afghanistan.

I can't stand people who cry about 'all the money' this is war, we have to do what we can.

Thank God we dont have many politicans like Ron Johnson here in Europe.

The support of The UK has been incredible

The problem with giving Ron Johnson air time is that he doesn’t know what he is talking about: US taxpayer spent this money decades ago when the weapons that are being sent to Ukraine were built. The US taxpayer will continue to pay for secure storage of these weapons and munitions until they are either given/sold to a cause like Ukraine or they are dumped. It’s not that current US taxpayers can’t afford to give them; its that it makes no economic sense to keep then when allies (people whose interests are aligned with the US’s) could use them to advance shared interests. So many Americans don’t understand that the US can’t exist without a global mindset. Even when someone in a country on the other side of the world hacks their identity or bank account, with the connivance of that country’s government. How did so many people become so ignorant so quickly? People like Ron Johnson were given air time.

Ron Johnson sounds as though he would appease Vladimir Putin and likely ask Putin, "How much of Ukraine would you like? All of it? OK, let's move on with it."

Bolton, who worked for Trump, says that Trump really does intend to withdraw from NATO. The House had enough signatures plus promised signatures for the discharge petition to pass. That is why Johnson and Trump changed their stance.

Starkey so good to see and hear from you.Slava Ukraine🇺🇦 from an American👀😊🤗.

@12:25 Sorry, my friend, but Ttump is _not capable_ of nuance. What happened is that the discharge petition for the pre-exisiting Senate bill was building support. So forestall that (and to make it _look_ like the Republicans could actually function) Ttump was notified that Johnson (in a weird act of reasonableness and responsibility) was going to move the House bills to the floor for a vote. Once they reached the floor, it was all over because there *is* actually overwhelming support in the US for Ukraine ... just not in the far right fascist wing of the GOP.

Ukraine should be given everything and military capabilities that they can defend their territory and defeats Russian aggression, thank you for the insights. Glory to Ukraine! How many innocent Ukranians have died because of this delay ! All over the media all we see is "free free Palestine" WHAT ABOUT THE GENOCIDE IN UKRAINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's time for allies to take real action!,,

Thanks. Glory to Ukraine. God Bless Ukraine and her people. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

It is so excruciating listening to this guy and other republican like Marjorie Taylor Greene talk like this 🤦🤦🤦🤦

To see and recognise the threats now out there, should wake up everyone. Get the defences out there

1 Billion from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤❤

The moral boost for Ukraine from the aid package being approved (and the demoralising effect on russia of course) is worth considerably more than $61. It's priceless.

Always good to listen to Mr. Clark. Expert and realistic.

USA GDP $25.44 trillion. USA Defence Budget $857.9 billion Ukraine aid $61 billion So about 7% of defence budget About 0.24% of GDP. Your tax bill will barely show a thing. USA spending on Iraq and Afghanistan $2.313 trillion from 2001 to 2022 Ukraine gave up their nukes with the understanding of having protection. Also, over 6,000 Ukrainians performed military service in Iraq and Kuwait during the war, including a permanent presence of 1,600, and 18 Ukrainians were killed

The Americans were late to both World Wars so no surprise to the Ukraine delays.

@Times Radio thanks much 🌻🇺🇦

Michael Clarke actually knows what he is talking about, one of the few observers who understands the military details, contemporary Russian politics, as well as the historical context of this conflict. We are are lucky to have him

Slava Ukraine ! We must vote blue to help keep Europe and the world free !

Michael Clark is such a smart man, very interesting to listen to.

Thanks a lot, Brits!🇬🇧🇺🇦

I love hearing someone with a British accent telling our senator how to spend our money. Compared to any other governments in Europe we have pulled our weight, time for everyone else too. Our border is a little more important!

Der Mr. Clark - straightforward sober analysis !!!

Complete nonsense .Negotiations only the answer .Thats if Russia still want one .This is the USAs fault i am afraid .The politicians need to eat humble pie . But they probably wont .End of story

How will these aid packages do that when the previous ones didn't? What is the difference? At the moment it is a bl00dy stalemate. Around half a million have died on both sides.

Great professor, well informed 👍💖💯vielen dank ✅ Slava ukraina 💙💛✌💯

You can only imagine the Ukrainian death toll in avdiivka. The USA didn't expect thermobaric weapons and glide bombs.

That's wrong to say one thing can be a game changer. Air power is always the game changer.

Michael Clarke British guy he is a good listen, knows his stuff ..Also liked end part American guy Daniel Freed regards Putin well said . Ukraine must win this war .

It's a marathon. But Ukraine has a chance.

Of course Michael Clarke is right! Slava Ukraini!

We had a rough patch of doubt (thanks, MAGA), but Putin has to read the writing by now...

It’s a shame but when anyone connected to the Sun is talking I move on straight away. The newspaper tars all of them unfortunately.

They may have thousands of glide bombs but they don't have that many planes.

Thank you for saying the truth on KZfaq. It is devastating to me as a US citizen to feel so betrayed by my Congress.

It is time that NATO plan to take him out. You have to take some risks, but it’s worth the risk taking him out. How hard is that?

This old man should be ashamed of himself. So many people dying.

Amazing strategic points! Every NATO think tank should use these points to layout the next year of objectives and strategic models to achieve these objectives. Thank you very much!

300 km is NOT a long range. 500 km is barely mid range, 1,000 is a long range. Ukraine needs at least 500km range which Storm Shadow can deliver provided it is the for own use French British version, not the 250km export version. The 500km range would allow Ukraine to hit the Russian Black Sea fleet in its home ports as well as the Kerch bridge.

Great conversation. I maintain a positive view of Ukraine's future given the tragic dithering of the Republican - led House in delaying necessary support to Ukraine's defenses. This is that without sufficient munitions and machines both offensive and defensive Ukraine has had to dig deeper within their rather substantial capabilities to fight and survive (I doubt even Americans could match one for one the fierce Ukrainians in a contest!). Now with a considerable supply of munitions Ukraine will use them with greater efficiency and deadlier effect. Add to this, that Ukrainian's European neighbors have been stepping up to their responsibilities to link arms together with Ukraine, to fight this scourge within their own region!

He’s a Chamberlain defeatist. Who is also well “informed” on Putin’s desire. A lot too much informed.

Well done to the gentleman and his most able analysis of the war market in Ukraine. Brilliant straightforward delivery of a most - complicated piece of intellectual capacity to analyse.

from my research, America has already prepositioned around $1 Billion into Europe in the anticipation of the aid package approval. So that $1 Billion will get into Ukraine within the first week of May.

I hope you are right, sir 🙏 Time will tell...

. They can have as much tech and munitions they need but without increasing troop number it's not going to change much at all

Top Notch info from this man, ( Michael Clark ) & explains his thoughts with great detail, that we the pullic, can understand !!!

I’m from uk 🇬🇧I hate the government giving our tax payers money away. But if someone is going to attack one of our neighbouring and friendly countries. Then it’s game on as far as I’m concerned 🤷‍♂️

damn I love the analysis of this man

I was looking for something to listen to while mowing the lawn… sure enough Michael Clarke comes up big!!!

How 'bout providing Ukraine with the means to assert air supremacy over its territory? Say 200+ F16s with trained crews and pilots under a revived Flying Tigers banner if needed? Get Erik Prince on this for a billion bucks and chances are it can be done fast. It will turn out cheaper in the long run.

SLAVA UKRAINI!!

Johnson has thousands of ghosts on his back.

I suggest that you guys NEVER have Ron traitor Johnson on again ever

I love Prof. Clarke's analysis. He always talks so much sense.

❤❤❤❤ 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 ❤❤❤❤❤

Well, the Dutch people largely still don't understand who Putin really is, I'm afraid.

Nice to see a credible ex UK Prime Minister speaking sense. Superb interview and assessment 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 💪

It's only a so called stale mate because any aid has taken too long to get there. If aid was sent when it was first requested the war probably would've already had ended. And very much in Ukraines favour.

😢Did he not get the memo? American manufacturing in China is moving to Mexico. America has to invest in Mexican infrastructure to move products from Mexico. We don't need a border. We need a stable and safe country that isn't shipping Chinese FENTANYL into America. 😢

Russia has already lost half the land they held 2 years ago. That ain't winning.😂

A glide bomb is dirt cheap. A Patriot missile is a 100x more expensive.

As Usual Very well said Thank You for your insite!

Ukraine can recruit 100,000 willing "volunteers" from around the world to help solve its lack of manpower problem!

FAb 500 and bunker buster Bombs as well as lidar mapping to see Russian trench networks and command posts. Give Ukraine everything they need and stop providing just enough not to destroy Russian capabilities. The providing of just enough brings a great shame to us all in the west. Political games making President Zelenskyy beg is disgusting and shows how arrogant leaders and representatives are. Disgraceful.

It seems that Polish President Duda's visit with Trump might well have affected his Ukraine position. Trump is an admirer of Duda who years earlier had proposed naming a Polish base "Fort Trump". Now that the Americans have committed, the Germans will now follow.(As they have since the beginning of the invasion). France is currently engaged in thwarting Russian ambitions in Africa and see the Ukrainian front as their their best opportunity.The Allies seem to be coalescing behind Ukraine.Americans thank the UK,the Baltic and Nordic countries,Poland,Czechia, the Netherlands,other Eastern EU countries that have helped keep Ukraine supplied until the US sorted out it's rather uniquely bizarre political issues.👍👍👏

Ron Johnson is a perfect example of why we need age limits for politicians

"Europe realises it's its problem". It was stunning to read pro-Putin posts and anti-american rants at the start of the war, from France. Today we can also read pro-china post. NATO, EU and US may not be perfect (far from it) but Putin and the China may not be Europe's best friends like some think.

Every word by that Senator is verbatim Russian talking points. Time for him to move to Moscow.

This is a brilliant man and well spoken.

21 minutes in and I still don't know why they keep cutting to the bearded smirking guy 😂

"How the US and UK’s aid package to Ukraine will destroy Putin" Come on, the UK package is a drop in the water. Denmark is providing more aid than the UK

Bye Bye Putin

Excellent! Thanks for this information! Eleanor in DC.

Thank you.

I dont see why the F16's have not come into play. You would think a few runs with cluster would blunt any meat attack.

Take Putin out and stop the carnage.

We need to stop talking up war and find a way to start talking peace . There are too many vested interests in prolonging this dreadful war .

Ron Johnson trying to be a star on Russian TV. I'm sure he is getting plenty of air time over there.

more people will also die this year

Don't forget Canadas donation with small arm ammunition Hand grenades An rocket motors And cash

The long rage ATACMS has a range of 300 km for the unitary model. This is the model that makes all of Crimea, including the Kerch bridge. Combined the with the naval munitions from the UK, the key Kerch bridge in significant jeopardy.

But he keeps going. He must be removed

GEN Syrskyi is NOT a legacy Soviet maneuver leader like GEN Zaluzhny. GEN Syrskyi was born in Russia and trained as a Soviet Commander. Nevertheless, GEN Syrskyi spent much time in Ukrainian Military Command acting as a NATO liaison. He seems far more NATO influenced in head military philosophy. It was GEN Syrskyi who actually Commanded Units defending Kviv in 2022. It was GEN Syrskyi who also Command Units which liberated Kupiansk, Izium, and Lyman in the Ukrainian Kharkiv Offensive. These were good signs of NATO schemes of maneuver being executed. GEN Syrskyi took over Military Command just prior to the fall of Ukrainian defenses in Avdiivka. GEN Zaluzhny did not leave GEN Syrskyi with a robust Avdiivka defense plan. This forced GEN Syrskyi to use a NATO scheme of inserting a fresh battle hardened Unit into an immediate difficult fight so that another mauled Unit could be retrograded and salvaged to as great a degree as possible. This was achieved at Avdiivka by GEN Syrskyi. Additionally, GEN Syrskyi used another NATO scheme called a fighting retreat as rear defensive lines were hastily constructed. This Operational Level strategy was executed in a series of Tactical Level maneuvers and bought time to build 2 Defense Lines. So far it has only failed at part of 1 point where a Russian breach succeeded. NATO allies of Ukraine are stepping up in terms of Industrial Level war support. However, Ukraine’s current biggest weakness is self made: a manpower shortage. Ukraine needs to recruit about 150,000 troops per year. They need 10,000 to 15,000 per month or 35,000 to 40,000 per quarter. All these troops need NATO quality Basic Training and AIT (equipment/specialty) training outside Ukraine in NATO countries. This 2 part training takes 4 to 8 months depending on AIT. Next is 3 months in Germany to train as Companies and then Battalions. Those troops AIT for Battalion Staff support need all 3 months in a Battalion TOC, battle planning and also monitoring Company Level training as if they were monitoring a battlefield operation. Finally, Battalions will be inserted into Ukraine in low risk areas along the Polish, Slovakian, Hungarian, Moldavian, Romanian, and Belarus borders. For 3 months they will practice Brigade Level maneuvers including moving to new locations. Then it’s 3 months along the Russian border from Kviv to Kharkiv. Finally, it’s up to 18 months on an active frontline with daily challenges. This is how 36 months of mobilization will look like to a good military training program. No trained troops will be demobilized until after the war. KIA and WIA beyond return to battle, are the only troops removed from the register. After 36 months, all fit troops will be reassigned to National Guard Units near their homes and families. They will drill monthly and train annually as a Unit. They can be Activated for service at anytime for up to an additional 18 months. All time served will count towards retirement points and preferred employment points in government jobs. This is in addition to any medical or disability benefits earned.

Thank you,😊❤❤❤

Putin will never honor negotiations
