and Europe and peace in the world. But is not only Sullivan - it is also those, who chose to listen to him and hide behind his back. But we know it all comes down to the US president. Executive power, entrusted by the American people.

@@free2dialogue saidly Americans can only choose between weak and outright evil

I think Sullivan only represents a larger and perhaps older group of foreign relations establishment barons. They are still struggling with the 1815 Vienna Peace Conference and European balancing of Great Powers. In these persons thinking, the Russian Far East is intimately connected to Russia in Ukraine, a Russian collapse. Nuclear deterrence…they came to the table in the Cold War and Kissinger and learned all the wrong lessons then and now.

Reagan was no stronger than Annapolis-graduate nuclear submariner Carter vis a vis Soviet Union, or Bush the elder, for that matter.

Traitors taking over NATO. NO ONE WILL BE PROTECTED NOW COWARD GLOBALISTS BOUGHT THE WEST

You can't trust politicians . They are spinning rhetoric and pretend to obey principles but in fact they are just looking for a new term in power. Beside that either Democrats or Republicans politicians are controlled by corporate interests and none of them have solution . Democrats wants mingling conditional globalism and republicans real politic isolationism , but both of them will bring western world in collapse.

While I agree with what you have to say, however have you ever heard of the space button. It would be alot easier to read if you put a space between each word.

I ran out of breath reading that.

You look like the type of people who wanted ti welcome thousands of illegal immigrants yet does not want to share room with them.

Funny, sad and true

It all comes down to us not wanting to go to war. Appeasement. Hoping that Russia will maybe somehow stop, even if it destroys all of Ukraine. How wise is such a view? It is purely emotional and in lack of courage. If anyone of such Western politician would like to make a reality check, it would be easy. Russia has not in the least been deterred. Russia is upping its military industrial complex. And we are sitting on our hands, praying?

It's more nuanced than that. Democracy won't fall with Ukraine, but it will be weakened, and a Ukrainian victory won't mean the end Democratic degradation, but we will have removed a threat. Russia is not the cause of democratic degradation in the west, it's been merely using it to propagate the Kremin's agenda.

Way before when Russia was destroying Chechnya, the Western leaders were shaking hands with Putin. Then Russia's war in Georgia and nothing changed. So, Putin figured he could go on with the war in Ukraine....

As German person I could not agree more. UK - welcome back - attitude in the UK - for me a true leader, sth we do not seem to have the talent to produce in Germany until now.

That is why Russia spent untold amounts of money in the Brexit misinformation campaign against England.

You can't force a nation to join the EU, just like you can't force anyone to join NATO. The Poms made their choice.

The president is the one who takes decisions. Sullivan is there, because the president wants him. And the other president is even worse. US is not leading and the rest of the West is like a team without a leader.

The Silicon Curtain has been absolutely essential in Ukrainian education and geopolitical understanding in social media.

Yes, but it's also near Moscow... perhaps Xi's most distant provincial capitol if putin continues

I agree with you. Just Focus on who will support Ukraine. For now, everything else must be secondary. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦

👍👍👍

me too, you’re not alone 🇺🇦

This is likely due to Russian troll attacks on algorithms.

I don’t know what would happen if we had real democracy in the west, because we don’t have it. But we do have a measure of democracy, and the people in the west voted for socialist swinery, social program to selfishly benefit themselves rather than prepare their nations for responsible financial management and self-defense. The western swine brought it upon themselves. They are so horrible. People are completely selfish, they will sell out the future for gratification in the present. It is that simple. They have 20 times the economic power of Russia, and steal the Russians are doing pretty well given the circumstances. Russia saved their money for this war, that’s why they are still in it and not yet defeated. I hope they will be defeated. All of the western nations just dug bigger hole of debt, and are borrowing money to finance the war. Who will crack first?

Last time it took the collapse of near all of Europe. People are really lazy.

Democracies involve the representatives that have been elected, who then proceed with policies outside the mandate they have been given for the policies they claimed in their manifestos. Even to committing atrocities. It has happened throughout history. The people of Britain didn't tell Churchill to get Bomber Harris to drop poison gas on the Kurds, as it destroyed the remnants of the Ottoman Empire. Neither did the people of the USA have any say in the dropping of two atomic bombs on Japanese cities, and there was certainly opposition at home before Blair joined Bush in the war on Iraq on the unfounded pretext of weapons of mass destruction with incredible capabilities to hit the UK. The people of democratic nations have no more say what their elected leaders do than those living under dictatorships, but they can remove those leaders more easily, and without threat to their safety.

what Russian aggression? Putin, has told us over the past 20 years, no NATO expansion, Ukraine must be neutral, having relasions with both EU/US and Russian. You can dismiss this, but it is there on the record. Ukraine means a lot more to Russia, than it does to the UK, France or any other country in the west.

What part of annexing multiple Oblasts & continuing military operations dont constitute Russian aggression?? ​@@RodrickLionheart

@@davidkottman3440 well, wether you like it or not, those 4 Oblasts held their own referendums to cede from Ukraine. In the case of Lugansk and Donetsk, they declared their independence way back in 2014. I guess if Kosovo can declare their independence and cede from Serbia, then it is ok for those 4 Oblast to do the same .

@@RodrickLionheart of course they did so in response to orders from Moscow, rather than deciding to be independent....you know this.

​@@davidkottman3440 ok, lets assume that they declared their independence under duress from the Russian government. Do you not think that we would be seeing an insurgence against the Russians in those Oblasts? The Russian Fedrations would effectively fighting on two fronts, a Ukraine/NATO offense from the western part of the country, and an insurgency behind the lines, with constant harrassement, terrorist and sabotage attacks in those oblasts. But in truth, we are not seeing this

A weak Russia benefits no one. Money blown down the toilet and global economy is suffering.

Except that the same goals could be achieved while supplying adequate air defence to Ukrainian cities.

​@@ak5659absolutely

Looks like the second point regarding China's ambitions for upper Manchuria is already on progress, but also agree with the other reply here that at the very least, significant air defense capability should never have been slow rolled especially after Ukrainian air defenders proved more than a year ago how competent they are on western SAM systems.

and where on earth would the money come from to sustain these conflicts? Have you not seen the US national debt recently? And the fact that countries are slowly but surely moving away from the Dollar. Also, where are all the weapons going to be manufactured on a scale to sustain such conflicts?

Sure. Still not untrue.

Unbelievable! At times I’m not proud to be a citizen of the USA. wtf are we doing?!?!?! Thx Helen🙏🏻

​@@abodabalodid you listen to the podcast?

@@abodabalo what this chap said about Ukraine steadily improving in terms of corruption is true.

Whatever "woke" means.

I can not believe that corruption in Ukraine is greater than in Russia. That's pretty incredulous because that kind of corruption is a hold over from Russian domination of Ukraine for the last 100 years.

totally agree, with you; how to get rid of corruption in Ukraine? At the end of the day, it is not really any of our business, we need to get our own houses in order, before we send our tax revenues to the sink hole called Ukraine

​@@RodrickLionheart No, the active conflicts don't wait for others to get their house in order. If you're a volunteer firefighter you drop everything when the alarm goes off, you don't clean the house & polish the truck first!

@@davidkottman3440 huh???? I fail to see what your metaphore has to do with what my comment was. Getting our house in order means: dealing with OUR economy first. it means dealing with OUR health service first. it means dealing with OUR migrant crisis first...etc ratherthan dealing with a country that has no historic ties to us (if you are from the UK) and is 'the most currupt country' in the euro zone. It really is not a good idea sending our taxes to them

@@RodrickLionheart It can be more expensive, for everyone, not to support Ukraine. Like any emergency, quick response limits the damages, and make no mistake putin is targeting all of us for damage not just Ukraine.

Yes there was, unfortunatley there is russo phobia in the upper eshelons of the UK power brokers that go back centuries, in the US, there are still those in both houses that still thinks that Russia is communist, also, see how Russians are portrayed in Hollywood (just like Arabs)

Не порушує угоди? Ще й Мінські? А чому ж ОБСЄ, весь час звітувало про порушення? Чи може ви не чули заяв Путіна, де він казав, що й не збирався їх виконувати, а про Будапештський меморандум що казати? А ще договори про границі, про дружбу з Україною, про оренду військових баз в Криму, про будь-що, будь-який договір з Україною назвіть, який вони не порушили. І забирають не лише землю, а катують і вбивають людей вже на окупованих землях, а інших, навіть дітей "перевиховують", щоб завоювати їх руками наступні. От заяви, що існує лише "право сильного", справді варті уваги, бо він не визнає жодних меж, окрім іншої сили. Навіть коли Путін говорить про мир для України, то ставить за умову знищення України разом з населенням, щонайменше витісненням його і заселенням росіянами, Це вже відбувається на захоплених територіях. А на тих, що ще не вдалося захопити, теж діє раціонально. Нове бомбардування -нові загиблі і біженці гарантовано звільнять для них територію. Нові погрози - зволікання з підтримкою і боєприпасами навіть захисту населення і черговий потік біженців. Знищення електростанцій - змерзнуть, залишаться без води і будь-якої можливості жити й працювати, тому знов будуть залишати власні домівки і цілі регіони. Путін дійсно раціональний, на противагу вам. А для таких як ви він часто в інтерв'ю каже "шучу", коли говорить про плани, і справді лукавить про намір щось виконувати. А потім через роки визнає, що "конечно это не местные жители, российская армия там была (щодо Криму і так званих народних республік Донбасу) і підтверджує про Мінські угоди, що "всем и так должно было быть понятно, что мы не собирались их выполнять" і звісно він ніколи не брехав про "звільнення України" - повне "звільнення" від домівок, дітей і життя. Як мінімум від життя на цих територіях. Виключення лише для тих, хто перетвориться на "русского". Проте і їх поступово переселяють подалі, щоб гарантовано розчинились в РФ. На окупованому півдні навіть плакати розвісили з агітацією змінити українське прізвище на російське (буквально), бо краще звучить, а дітей забрали в табори для "відпочинку", звідки батькам і на рідну землю не повертають. І такі як ви певні "в виконанні домовленостей росіянами і Путіним" в ЮНІСЕФ навіть виділяли кошти на вивіз дітей "на оздоровлення" -від батьків, країни і пам'яті про них назавжди. Дітей легше перетворити на правильних росіян..Щоправда багатьох дорослих, як вас, теж можна теж навчити: "вона - это мир", "никогда не нарушали, договора, потому что не собирались выполнять, так это не настоящее нарушение и ненастоящий договор", "украинцев никогда не было, поэтому их нужно уничтожить"...

What a dupe. Do you think for 1 second that Putin will honor a cease fire?

@@robertmiskey5502 == You can't comprehend that a ceasefire gets Ukraine into NATO, and that NATO deters Russia?! Did you fall on your head?

What prevents Ukraine from joining NATO? Answer: NATO forbids adding a new member nation that is in a current hot war. Forbidden! ...but a ceasefire, such as South Korea's Armistice of 1953, would allow Ukraine to apply for NATO membership. With no hot war, Ukraine would be eligible to apply for NATO membership. NATO would no longer be forbidden to Ukraine. These concepts are too intellectually advanced for an entire swatch of youtube reply-bots. The most common response when they get called out on the above is for them to pretend that mere border disputes prevent NATO membership. Nope. Greece has had an on-going border dispute with Turkey since prior to joining NATO. Same for Turkey and Syria. Didn't stop either from joining NATO. ...then the reply-bots run away.

@@aircvr4175 something tells me UA will not be admitted to NATO overnight once the "ceasefire" is in force. And a deal with poo teen isn't worth the price of ink it's signed with.

@@aircvr4175 I am sorry, but that is simplistic fantasyland. What possible guarantee is there that Ukraine would be given NATO membership if there was a ceasefire. It hasn't even been given a roadmap towards membership - particulary in light of recent US statements. Work out a clear path that guarantees Ukraines security and then you can talk about peace. A ceasefire is only a pause in the fighting and from Putin's point of view just another means to defeat Ukraine.

ok, If I were Russian, I would have seen how the 'allies' have acted in the first 30 years of the 21st century; bombing, invading, occupying, and supporting mass murder, and I would laugh when you call us up for atrociies and war crimes..It would be the pot calling the kettle black
