Thank you for your coverage and insights 🇬🇧🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🇪🇺

The USA defined the policy between Russia and Ukraine and now Ukraine's problem is Europe's problem? Ukraine was the third country with the most nuclear weapons and handed them over to Russia at the hands of American policy.

Thanks for having me on. It was a terrific discussion and look forward to joining you again.

Thank you, Jonathan. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Thank you everyone involve in this great discussion. Love from Indonesia.

Thank so much for having me on the show. Always great to join you.

Thanks for the update and views 🇺🇲🇺🇦 Oklahoma USA 🇺🇦🇺🇲

US, defeated by POLARISATION.

A general comment regarding the situation we find ourselves in: It's not US policy to help Ukraine win. It's US policy to help Ukraine survive until the political mood in the country changes. This is frustrating enough, but as the internal political crisis deepens, the country's commitment to defending its allies and international law in general is growing weaker as well. I'm Finnish. It's in our national interest that Ukraine wins. That international law prevails. We're used to navigating these kinds of threats alone. What really gets me is that the USA is starting to block European initiatives. Why? The USA wants Europe to do more, right? Well, yes, unless that means going against a nuclear power like Russia. Then, all you can do is duck and take cover. This is very short-sighted but not unexpected from the point of a view of a nation that's been in the situation that Ukraine is in now.

Thank you Jonathon Great interviews

(FWIW I strongly recommend James Ker-Lindsay's presentations. I never comment on them because I always watch them on my kitchen screen thing, first thing in the morning, after they come out.)

I must give admiration to Pyotr for his statements about President Biden after the assassination attempt. I see Biden as a lifelong statesman which gives him a good grasp of gravitas. This ability is invaluable, and completely beyond Trumps vulgarity.

If the thought of another Trump presidency without judicial guardrails this time sends chills down your spine, then your instincts are in proper order.

Putin was KGB. He knows how to affect the thoughts and feelings of people. And internet is a gift. A massively powerful gift

I was thinking recently Scott Lucas would make a great guest for Silicone Curtain, lo and behold here he is.I do think that the Trump incident would give the Democrats some sort of explanation if sticking with the Biden bid for presidency fails in the end result,thanks gentlemen.

Thank you so much for sharing ❤

Did I miss it, or was there not much in this discussion about how a Trump presidency might affect Ukraine -- the subject indicated in the title of the video?

Professor Lucas is a favourite guest for sure, up there with keir Giles and Sir James Sherr et .al. He's also the only one I have heard since this incident to point out that Trump peddles this politics of violence, the guy that said he could "shoot someone on the street and get away with it". But the poor Don, he is reaping what he sowed and now he''s the "victim".

Thank you, Jonathan, Scott Lucas, James Ker-Lindsay, and Pyotr Kurzin for your conversation. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Great analyse, thank you. You pas YT scrutiny.

Scott Lucas thank you, that was so interesting and well observed

Us pulls out of nato...will eu increase its arms and phase out us hardware..will us arms be diminished...will this be the decline of us arms industry

Not only for Ukraine. Taiwan is also absolutely screwed if the Trumpists take power.

He is usually a good Ukraine commentator, but is 100 % partisan ;(demokrat) when it comes to US politics

(Skipping ahead for this one, but not taking anything out of the queue!)

This is ridiculously biased. Why bother gathering three Trump haters. So you can all listen to one another?

I was watching live. I do not think this was staged. However, what I saw when trump got up and told the Secret Service to ‘wait, wait, wait’ and the fisted and yelled ‘fight fight, fight’ while the SS stood there! There was zero concern for their wellbeing, or trump’s or the crowd. They didn’t know there was a shooter so they had to assume there might be another. There was ZERO hurry and it just looked like a Reality TV episode set up for ratings. At the RNC, the crowd is now fisting, yelling ‘fight, fight, fight’! This is not defiance. Defiance would be getting the hell out of the situation, trying to protect others and then talking about it afterwards. It’s marketing! Please help others understand this.

I was hoping for some considered assessment but was treated to the youtube equivalent of a bunch of old women hand wringing for 27 minutes. At that point I gave up.

Excellent as ever. POLITICIANS TAKE NOTE!

I have a question for Dr. Lucas. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, a great deal has changed in terms of global economics, not just global security. Prior to the war, the EU offered Russia a very sweet economic deal, NATO was dwindling in terms of actual armed forces and was really more of an economic union. Now Russia has effectively been kicked out of economic dealings with the EU, and the US has benefited hugely, most especially in terms of oil and LNG sales. Could Trump really convince the US to shutter a huge portion of its industry and give it all back to Russia along with a chunk of Ukraine? It seems unlikely.

Silicon you should get Alan Lichtman in your channel. author of the 13 keys to the white house

Sorry, but I won't waste my time listening to Scott Lucas. This is the first of your videos that I am unable to give a "like".

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

To me the biggest issue of the Assassination attempt was the total break down of the secret service that was supposed to be protecting Trump. If competent people were running the show the attempt would have never happened. I don't think that the secret service is incompetent, and that is very concerning.

Jonathan Curtain and guest, you even had me a little bit scared on this one.

A Trump presidency will be horrible for the USA, but keep in mind that Trump was moving troops from Germany to Poland, Trump did authorize the assassination of the orchestrator of Iran's malicious foreign operations, he did criticise Germany for Nordstream 2. He's given plenty of cause for dread in regards to Ukraine, but for what it's worth, I look at the prospects as unpredictable.

There is a very bad smell around the events of the last three days - Trumps diapers may not be the only source!

That 1st guy lol wat a load if bollocks.

Thank you!

Slava Ukraine

Food for thought! Thanks

NATO has allowed the US to pay for everything for far too long and now with American isolationism rearing its head, is terrified...typical and not very far-sighted. Europe frequently has difficulty looking beyond its nose. France and Germany dealing with the Chinese and Russian hydrocarbon dependence in the case of the latter is an example. The same happened before with Iraq, as all the Europeans had backroom deals with Saddam, ignoring all of these threats and depredations. The USA has not really had a real long-term foreign policy since George Bush Senior. Trump began a long-term policy shift against China, which Biden has carried on. Economically, the US is refocusing on the Americas, bringing industry back and with them supply chains much closer to home. Biden, is non compos mentis. Whoever is running the Executive, it is not Biden but non-elected persons. Biden has no expertise or depth in foreign policy or anywhere else.

that first guy said a whole lot of nothing

💛💙💜💙💛 here i am! Listening uninterrupted 😁 🇺🇦 🌏 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

If people will vote for him because of this attempt on his life then they really are very stupid.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1892">31:32</a> "biden is obvioously ... biggest suporter of Ukraine outside of Ukraine". That's just laughable / ignorant.

I think it would have been even more interesting to have this discussion with people that were a little bit more nuanced about and perhaps a bit closer to trump. Scott Lucas was the dems camp speaking. Better talk to the source than its opponents. I think this very important topic then would have been discussed in an even more correct and precise way. Which in the end is more helpful for ukraine and its supporters. 🇸🇪🇺🇦

Why is nobody talking about how Trump could turn a portion of the trillion dollars a year defense budget to help Russia AGAINST Ukraine?

Always interesting and fascinating Silicon Bites rolls the dice on pure speculation..and WINS!! 😀

This first guy is a total liar, btw.

So interesting today 👍🏼

👍👍👍

Amazing

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2295">38:15</a> "people like to simplify it as black and white. Anyone who does is either naive or has malicious agenda". So is our guest naive or has bad agenda since he just simplified all people into black and white :))))

I like your podcast , but please one of the biggest Trump's haters!

That first hits opening monolog is total nonsance. Thatwas just narrative creating. Total manipulation. Both sides do it and pisses me off. There is no honest fact based dialog from either side. This why I can't stand American politics.

My comment was removed. I see that MAGA's have their comments up though. So we know who KZfaq supports.

What part of the USA is Trump willing to give up tp save money and appease Putin?

What's one more victim to the Board of Education.

Not allowed an opinion or YT will censor it.

Reality....is to sever to pass censor...

Nothing but bad, especially now with Vance.

Great for cryptocurrency

it's kinda sad/bad when you hear the news, and your immediate thought is (beyond "i hope everyone is fine" as you watch the video...) great, just what i/we needed 😥... Trump seems to be way too high on power and can't get enough of it (not to mention he's also likely to go to jail for the rest of his life if he can't win. NOT saying he's 100% a bad leader potentially! in theory! (smh! though i did pretty much lost all hope in him after his EXTREME first term disappointment :(.)) and his followers have drank the whole pool of Kool-Aid and are completely mesmerized by ... what ever it is he talks (well, ceaselessly whines :(.) about all the time. which is a horrible lose-lose generally. for a healthy democracy. in a sense, yanno, if you spend 100% of your time trying to piss half the country off for no real reason other than pandering, that's ... risky business. :( what happened was ugly and not what ANYONE needed, but this topic (yours lol!) will be an extremely fascinating topic to follow. :) his stance on NATO / global defense in general was one of his policies i pretty much agreed with 100% and was much due. let's hope he doesn't mess up too bad on the Ukraine/Russia/China stuff if we get there :) thanks Jon!

👍

I can’t believe you are having this discussion immediately following the most serious presidential assassination attempt since 1981! Jonathan, I have been listening to you for years. I am shocked and sadly disappointed. Shame on you! You have betrayed your profound and elemental bias

Well if definitely makes Trump look more vigorous. Joe Biden looks half asleep in comparison.

I am surprised that otherwise very sofisticated Silicon curtain program in this issue goes down the path of hate speach against Trump. If you critisize a candidate supported by half the countrie's voters you should be able to show concrete exsmples of wrongdoings.

This is a pathetic over analysis with flight of fantasy conclusions, telling you what to think and believe.

You’d think with all the credentials the dribble spouted would be intelligent. The stupidity is embarrassing!

👎 !

DRAMA

If you want to understand the right please interview Andrew Klavan or other Daily Wire people, Megyn Kelly, Dennis Prager, Lauren Chen, etc. listening to leftists about the right is a dangerous slanderous, waste of time.

Don’t over-analyze it.

Quoting Michelle Obama takes the cake. Peak cringe.

Very disappointing - bias participant's. Legty propaganda and ill informed dust. Maybe won't tune in going forward 😞

People voted for Biden because he was best man for job. What if Kennnedy wins?

Wait a sec, what spinn are you trying to put on this? Are you kidding me?
