NATO is not a defensive alliance. They illegally bombed Yugoslavia (direct violation of the UN Charter). We must never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.

I’ll say it unabashedly: Alexander: you, Sir, are a National Treasure, nay, a Global Treasure! There, I said it.

The proxy war in Ukraine is the first time NATO has tried to pick on someone their own size and NATO is getting humiliated

Saying the patriot can shoot down Kinzhal is like saying biden can run up the stairs without stumbling

Col Karen Kwiatkowski summed this whole "Ukraine" thing up nicely. She said it's basically a war against Russia by the United States and NATO and Ukraine is the location.

At one time I believed the only way to seek peace in the Ukraine affair was to end the regime of the little-Hitler, Zelensky. I now firmly believe that until the Obiden regime ends, perpetual war is inevitable. I'm sick of the quite unintelligent war-mongers.

Zelensky has been a total and utter disaster for the Ukrainian people

I have been following this program daily for more than two years. I also watch other channels from time to time, but Mr. Mercouris's program is by far the best. That way I can be informed of this fratricidal war between Russians and Ukrainians (with weapons and help from the West) and many geopolitical events around the world. Thank you very much Mr. Mercouris for your wise analysis, for your work and dedication. Furthermore, listening to you has made it easier for me to increase my level of understanding of the English language in which I hope to achieve level C1. Mila esker berriro, Mercouris jauna. Onena opa dizut zuri eta zure familiari. Aurrera!

Ukraine's top negotiator, Ivana Dixonderasse : Russia was prepared to end the war if we agreed to... neutrality, But the US and UK stood in the way

Volatile unrests take place in Odessa between the medical emergency workers vs. conscription staff. Unrests like that can be consequential for a regime in trouble.

I haven't watched Alex for the last couple of months. Been busy moving. I've heard things in the media. I started to believe what I was hearing and reading. It's so easy to get sucked in. Media is dangerous.

A real news would be if Zelensky visited Ukraine.

Russia is not on an offensive. They're preparing a mouse trap.

Great show Alexander! Wishing all Orthodox a blessed Ascension! Christ is risen! ☦️

With recent admission of American senator Graham on national TV that the main target of the American n EU was the 13+ trillions Ukraine minerals/commodities n not fighting for democracy 😢😢😢?

I'm of European and russian origin. When it comes to tell people that I'm from Russian origin, I've been offering some drinks or letting me access the cashier in the department store at the front of the queue! I was astonished at first but I got accustomed right now. Very surprising!

Ukraine bots still whining while Ukraine trolls still trying to cope with all the gaslighting they took in thinking Ukraine could beat Russia.

Nations around the world should cultivate peaceful and prosperous relationships with their neighbors, prioritizing their own best interests over the influence of external powers

The loss of life in Ukraine, will, sadly, never be an element that concerns the Western public to any degree. Inflation, immigration, yes that will get the voters out!

The Luzerne conference will end up being a neocon circle-jerk with Elenzkyy playing the piano with his member for entertainment after which he will pass the hat around for more donations.

The number one enemy of Ukraine is Zelensky, a reasonable man would have never allowed Ukraine to flirt with NATO

*China makes full commitment to back Russia* 🇷🇺 🇨🇳

It seems the angrier Russia gets, the more powerful they become. With NATO it has been the exact opposite. Just sayin.

The club of rejected is rejecting the great Swiss peace summit 😂😂😂

Happy Russia Day to all of the Russian people and we are sorry for our government's belligerence! We are sad for every son lost to this western aggression.

It amazes me how people across Europe/Uk profess shock/horror at the rising popularity of the far right yet say nothing about Netanyahu, s far right goverment

❤😊THANK YOU SIR

Thank you Prof Alexander Mercouris for the update. God bless you.

Gutted Claire Daly lost...rekon EU engineered it

Zelenskys peace conference should focus on climate change 😂

A voice of truth & sanity from Alexander which is sadly lacking in our legacy information providers.

It seems that two out of every three days lately have been terrible days for Ukraine,t there can be little doubt that the Ukrainian army is crumbling, the US can send as much money as they wants but it will take more than money to get untrained men to stand and fight under the conditions of modern warfare.

Today, the G7 countries approved the financing of Zelensky's army for another 50 billion (at the expense of money stolen from Russia). This is in addition to the fact that the United States approved 50 billion for Ukraine 2 months ago.. And except for the assistance that is provided separately by Europe .. In total, this year's aid is at least 110 billion... And they don't have enough weapons?

First to watch and First to comment Good evening Alexander greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹. Long lives putin and Long live Russian people God almighty bless you all

For the love of god get yourselves out there and vote

Alexander your great keep the truth out, This Texan loves you and the group here

Please get Pepe Escobar, Michael Hudson and those who attended the St Petersburg Summit for a roundtable. From the excitement of Pepe's voice (when is he never excited?), it was the rock concert of the year and many more years to come. I'm excited already talking about it. Please, please. Your loyal viewers will benefit greatly from it.

Thank you for your tireless work, superb analysis and information. ❤

zelensky is not living in ukraine and hear of F-16 is sickening news, it is this the oldest aircraft.

China has the biggest drone fleet. Russia nr 2. Then there is nothing, then nothing, on limping 5th place comes Iran, on 6th and for no prize comes USA.

Alexander, you pronounce names in Russian quite well and even make the correct accents, mostly. So it's not a compliment, but a fact. Keep up the good work.👍

Thank you, always worth listening to 👍

It's not they can't see what's driving discontent. It's they don't care. Same as in US.

Cheers Alex great show😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊CHEERS😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉

There must be vast European and american investments in Ukraine. I can see no other reason for them to persevere when their war is so obviously lost. Given the various serious crisis threatening the debt ridden western economies the loss of those investments might precipitate a more general crisis on the scale of the 1930s. I suspect that is what they fear

❤😊UKRAINE IS COLLAPSING FAST.

Thank you again Alexander for another timely update.

Thank you❤

The involvment of the US in the Taiwan question is a totally unnecessary potential disaster for the entire region and perhaps the world. Great stuff as always Alexander, Stay safe !!

The patriot system is crap so why not give them all away?

And now we see Assange was right all along

Gracias Alejandro.

❤😊RUSSIA IS WINNING BIG.

❤😊YOU ARE THE BEST.

Sadly the Europeans have lost their sovereignty and sanity. Difficult to imagine isn’t it ??

Thanks for good information sir

3/4 of Russian casualties in Bakhmut were wounded of whom 95% survived

Please, please… Leave China alone… Taiwan and China are brothers and sisters… Let’s mind our own business

Remember this quote about these so called 'leaders' ...And if you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what a weak man can do - Jordan B Peterson

Many thanks for a great report.

Thanks for the update

❤😊STOP POKING THE BEAR.

“Leave the situation alone? Respect the status quo?” Not in the Neoclowns’ playbook.

Keep up the good work, Alex, God bless 👍🇬🇧😊

What happened to all the NAFO claiming Ukraine 🇺🇦 was winning❓ Now they are just posting derogatory comments, they pulled out of their arses..

Russian doctrine appears to rely mainly on ground-to-air defenses to defend against NATO aircraft and tactical rocket attacks. This means that Russia has the capability to producing huge numbers of S-300 and S-400 missiles on a production line basis as well as the radars and associated equipment. These are Russia's long range air defense assets. There are of course several effective shorter-range systems such as Pantsirs that coordinate with these systems and are particularly effective against cruise missiles and smart bombs. Aircraft play rolls in defense, but not nearly as heavily as in Western doctrine. Huge numbers of air defense missiles and radars systems are likely also in inventory. Figure at least one S-300 or S-400 missile for each NATO aircraft and ballistic missile in NATO inventories. This means Russia has thousands of these missiles and, as noted above, the capability to mass produce many more, at least 100's per month. In the West we are accustomed to viewing aircraft as representing airpower, with ballistic and cruise missiles playing specific, secondary rolls. We don't begin to understand how Russia views airpower. Patriot missiles now cost $4,000,000 each. A wild guess is that an S-400 missile, at cost to the Russian military, is 10% of that cost. Very high quantity production with its inevitable cost reductions, and as importantly, missiles designed for mass production, are keys. Lower inherent costs in Russia are another. As a simple calculation, if it takes 10 S-400 missiles to shootdown a Western aircraft that costs $25,000,00 to $100,000,000 with the loss of a highly trained pilot, the advantage in the tradeoff goes to Russia. As a side note, both Germany and Japan ran out of excellent or even good pilots before they ran out of aircraft. If we believe the nonsense that NATO aircraft will only have Ukraine pilots then the Ukraine fleet of NATO aircraft will quickly become combat ineffective in weeks due to a loss of pilots. Zelinsky could get his 150 F-16's but would have no one to fly them.

Excellent analysis

POPULISM: WHAT IS SO WRONG ABOUT CARING DEEPLY FOR YOUR OWN NATION? Who likes to be made to comply with actions that we feel are detrimental to us or those around us? Is it so odd that we revolt against this harm to us and those we love? Most of us grew up with some affection for the nations we were born and raised in. In our youth we saw much we wished to change no doubt. The young tend to believe that radical changes are required so that the ideal we visualise can be reached with minimum delay. It is only with time that we discern the reality that for the adults and for us who become adults there are benefits to stability that tend to be overlooked by the young. However, by and large the vast majority of us identify with the country of our birth. And why not? So we come to the subjects of populism, patriotism and nationalism. And of course in analysing these we must also look at those in the centre ground, the mainstream if you will, who tend to sit in judgement as the entitled elites to whom all but their ideas, activities, thoughts, narratives, talking points and policies are suspect. The recent elections in Europe brought success for many who those who tend to hold the central ground (as they like to think of it) call far this, far that, populist or nationalist. If particularly strident some of these might also be given the epithet authoritarian, another term from the comfortable, entitled centre to designate those beyond the pale. These are looked upon with disapproval. The voters got it wrong in voting for them. Only those in the centre are worthy of a vote. Perhaps Russian propaganda, misinformation or fake news got to them. It couldn’t be that they simply have another way of looking at things. There WAS only one way of looking at things. The term populist tends to be spoken with a sneer embedded within it, an attitude of disdain, almost spoken with a sigh that uneducated primitives have acted in an uneducated, primitive way one again and they have to somehow deal with these idiots by blackening their name until they learn better. The liberal centre loves itself. As seen in the USA for a great many years now there are abiding attitudes of exceptionalism, of being at the pinnacle of human organisation and capacity, supreme and incapable of being challenged. The ultimately successful winners at the end of history, now willing and able to do whatever is necessary to the lower life forms across the rest of the world who act in variously degenerate fashion compared to us. A populist is basically the scum of the earth to such people, a no-nothing, an idiot, scoundrel, tawdry troublemaker who will mess up the project to make everything perfect in the enlightened liberal image. You see how all the pejorative terms used across the central political spectrum and their fellow elites across the mainstream media world are generated and the use made of them. Who are they to call people populists? And what are populists really anyway? A populist tends to be someone who wants the best for his or her country and is focused upon this goal rather than being focused on a wider project that inevitably emerges from those in what we could call central control. A populist wishes to safeguard his or her nation from negative influences many of which stem from outside influencers or influences. To the central controllers this presents a problem. These, who are often called globalists need to be able to manipulate entire swathes of nations to bend them to their own goals, and these goals can often be boiled down to buzzwords such as human rights, freedom, democracy, values and free trade. Those who have ambitions to unify and homogenise areas connected to these buzzwords have an overwhelming need to undermine those who wish to protect their own nations in respect of their sovereignty, traditions, culture and independence. Therefore their names must be blackened. Take recently elected Robert Fico as an example. He has sworn to do what’s best for Slovakia. This is a mortal sin the the central controllers within the EU, an institution beholden in turn to the central controllers of the USA. It is absolutely not okay in their eyes for premier minister Robert Fico to be focused on his beloved Slovakia. He must be made to fall back in line with the mores of the EU superstate as demanded by Brussels and the policies that it mandates. Mr Fico does not agree (along with Viktor Orban of Hungary) that fomenting further war in Ukraine is a good thing, not for Ukraine and not either for Slovakia, nor the world in general. But this is not okay, looking after your own country or having a different way of looking at things from the mandated Brussels policy is simply unacceptable. Mr Fico and the man who will become president of Slovakia very soon, Mr Pelligrini both see their job as protecting the sovereign nation of Slovakia. They are adamant that Slovakia remains a nation capable of expressing the will of the people who vote governments and presidents into power based on the clearly expressed views and intentions of the candidates for those positions. All else, the normal conditions and agreements made in signing contracts to join the European Union remain in place. Nothing in that contract demands total obedience however. That is why the veto exists within the EU rules so that nations are not required to obey by demand from the centre. Note that there are powerful force which wish to eliminate this veto and allow policy change by majority instead. Mr Fico and Mr Pelligrini were elected by popular vote. They are obviously therefore popular. They are popular, it can be assumed because the Slovak people by a voting majority liked the policies they espoused, one of the main and most prominent being that humanitarian aid to Ukraine was fine but that no further military aid should be given and that there should be an early start to peace negotiations. For the EU central controllers this is an unacceptable point of view. Despite diplomacy being seen in the past as the most optimum route to resolve conflicts those controllers, controlled in their turn by those in the USA, have decided all possible military means must be used instead. Fico and Pelligrini are expected to go against their principles and against the clear wish of a majority of Slovak voters for them to carry out the mandate for peace as campaigned upon and simply submit to those who would completely deny they are being authoritarian. Irony and hypocrisy much? You can find me as AEARNUR on Substack.

I couldn’t understand why the French election was triggered. It seemed an unnecessary risk.

Thannk you for program brother @Alexander

I can tell you as a french that Macron is litteraly hated

i saw a video of prigozhin giving his pitch to prisoners - he told them straight up their chance of survival was at best 50-50

Your pronunciation in Russian is good enough 👍I appreciate your efforts to find right way to pronounce difficult Russian words

These weasels poked the bear two years ago. They better have endurance for this marathon war.

I'm amazed of the cristal ball some of the people have.

Very good pronunciation Mr Mercouris of Severnyi Veter :) Just in the word severnyi the stress is on the first vowel :) Big fan of your daily broadcasts. Through my origins i'm very familiar with the roots of the conflict. As I live in the West I was shocked by the propaganda and outright lies that main media feeds to unfortunately completely ignorant majority. Please continue to deliver the analysis of the factual information! I'm very grateful for your efforts to find facts, considering you do now speak Russian or Ukrainian, which makes it harder as I imagine. Wishing you all the best!

Thank you. The war is terribly sad and catastrophic.

Ukr is losing a battalion sized element a day? Wow!

If Taiwan were independent and the Chinese did not attack the US forces that would have to be there to prevent a Chinese invasion. The Chinese would not trade with Taiwan and the US would then have the job of keeping Taiwan supplied with everything it needed as well as keeping a very large force in place to deter the Chinese. It does not sound like a feasible plan to me.

US General Paparo described “hellscape” war over Taiwan strait by flooding with hundreds of thousands of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) is a joke itself for two reasons; Firstly where to purchase key components and where to build these UAV or UUV? China already put export restrictions on both UAV and UUV products and key components to limit supply, and also Ukraine war had battle proven US-made UAV is a sub-standard product and US-made UUV is about the same quality level too. Secondly, how and where to deploy these UAV or UUV? Ukraine war had battle proven Britan-made UUV has limited shipping distance and can NOT hide from land-based coastal radar or ship-based surveillance radar. The chines had also put export restriction on export explosive and propellent to kill weaponry production once for all. So the bottom line is that the Chinese will again view General Paparo’s comments as optics to attract congressman/woman for budget only. Period.

Well it looks like Macaroni is cooked.☺️

Thanks for your always trustworthy reporting. Your standards vastly exceed the standards of western mainstream media. I have learned so much from your community!

Russia has a nuclear armed naval task force a couple dozen miles off Florida, including a strategic missile submarine ( almost close enough to South Carolina to pee on Lindsay Graham).In fact they are transiting the international seas of the Caribbean and will visit Cuba and Venezuela for training exercises. The mission is supposed to last all summer. This hasn't happened since the early1960's , during the times of the USSR, when Kruschev was in power. Personally i'm glad to see it.

Thank you Alexander.... Keep up the good work

For decades China hv been preparing n big possibility very well prepared to defend their sovereignty against the American led west. Hopefully the American government/military does not underestimate the will of the Chinese nation to defend their national interests.

May be one day Russia can help US here in the USA get our country back.......... OUR Govt has gone BAT SH*T crazy..........

The way war is being talked so carelessly about is accommodating us sleepwalking into a major actual war.

This war has acquired a momentum of its own. These wounded and dead are brothers, fathers, friends and even speak the same language. Enough is enough. This senseless slaughter must stop immediately! 🙏

As always Alexander your assesment is spot on

Bravo Ruussiiaa 🇷🇺 🎖️ 🇷🇺 Annihilating AZOV NAZIS UUURRRAA 🙏💞 Avante Glory

78 countries visiting Elensky's moneymarketis still a lot...

Excellent

It is good that Russia doesnt fall into NATO distraction games and continúes its progress in the military operation avoiding unnecesary overspending.

Perhaps Zelensky should give away luxury cars and italian vilas to dipomats that attend the "Peace Conference" to increase participation, LOL!
