It's not Ukraine that must must win, but the principle that borders should be established by agreement, not imposed by force. Moscow has agreed several times to the currently recognized borders of Ukraine and has repeatedly violated those agreements. We need to end the age of conquest and that’s worth fighting for .

In regards to the question on the effect of Brexit around 36:00-37:00. Unfortunately it has only weakened the UK and divided Europe, much to the delight of Putin. We should start on the path to rejoining the EU with all haste to repair the damage Brexit has done.

Non governmental assets of oligarchs must far transcend 300 billion in gov assets. Maybe after the first week of November US can tighten legislation further and head in on a trillion or so. I suspect a lot of these assets truly are in Russia. Also, a multi national governmental research and prosecution team with plenary powers and lots of money freezing, seizing and litigating ill gotten gains. Temporarily seizing assets is absolutely a no brainer. Look at WWII. Ukraine is Russia’s Poland, 1939.

@@henriikkak2091 I completely agree with you that the frontline states of central and Eastern Europe don't think this way. They have a similar historical experience with the russians as Ukraine has had and they understand what russians are, how they think and how they behave. It's the USA and western Europe who don't want the russian empire to collapse. For different reasons, Germany falls under this category too, despite having experienced some of the worst russian atrocities (I'm sure many elderly Germans in their late 80s and 90s will remember them).

Just as expected, this speaker didn’t recognize the fact that the sanctions have failed, but instead called for doubling down on said failing sanctions. If you want to know about why they failed, listen to Chichvarkin (Russian businessman who fled to London 15 years ago). But in a nutshell: 1. These sanctions are the first in history which didn’t target the country’s exports, but instead targeted imports. Case in point, when they sanctioned Iraq and Iran, they banned all oil exports. Meanwhile, Russia is free to export as much oil, gas, grain, fertilizer, and timber, as people are willing to buy. And people are willing to buy them, including westerners. Needless to say, the Russian government is making bank. Enough bank for them to buy whatever they need. 2. Sanctioning imports to Russia. You wouldn’t need to do this if you would have put an embargo on their exports, as they wouldn’t have any money to buy foreign goods. 3. Barring Russians from the west. Chichvarkin puts a LOT of emphasis on this. But this guy here totally misses the point. The fact that various Londongrads existed actually hurt Putin, because the drivers of the Russian economy could park their money away from his control. Now, that has gone out of the window, and capital flight from Russia almost impossible. Meaning that money made in Russia, stays in Russia, and works towards the war effort. Compounding this is the fact that it is nearly impossible for Russians to immigrate to the west, transferring their capital. Take a successful businessman, engineer, IT professional, etc. A lot of them wanted to move to the west after the war started. However, they have difficulties getting visas, registering businesses, opening bank accounts, etc. If they want to move to the west, their only option is to leave everything in Russia, flee as a refugee, and start from scratch somewhere in Europe, working odd jobs just to barely get buy. In fact, a lot of them went through this and decided to move back. Imagine going from making $150k+/year to bagging groceries at a Walmart. The result? Most of them ended up staying or returning to Russia, and they are now contributing to the Russian economy, either directly or indirectly fueling the war effort. Therefore, it is the western sanctions that prevented a capital flight as well as a brain drain. Why am I so fixated on Chichvarkin? There is a quote he made, “The West basically put up an iron curtain, preventing anything from leaving Russia and coming to the west, while at the same time throwing large sums of money over that curtain”. On top of that, he noted that apart from the occasional lip service, the west rarely engages with the Russian opposition. For example, they didn’t facilitate the creation of a government-in-exile. This is why he, as am I, are convinced that the west not only wants to keep an open door with Putin, but they would prefer to deal with him than anyone else on matters regarding Russia. And this makes sense as for 22 years, they have been reliably doing business with him. They don’t care about “democracy” or “freedom”. All western leaders have ever cared about is a reliable flow of goods and capital. Saudi Arabia is another good example of this. They can turn their opposition into minced meat (literally), but as long as the oil flows for a good price, nobody cares. Furthermore, and you can hate on me all you want, I am 99% sure that Russia will win this war. Not because they are powerful or anything, but because judging by their actions, the leaders of the west don’t want a Ukrainian victory. Nor is the western public for that matter. The speaker brought up secondary sanctions. And yes, combined with an embargo on exports from Russia, it will probably work. But nobody is going to do that because it will tank the western economies. Nobody in power is going to sign off on such a thing, as it means losing the next elections.
