  1. ​​​ @JohnSmith-fr7js ere ate plenty who could decimate the fleet. It's more a question of would they. I would like to see Ukraine given the abity to sink any Russian ship berthed at a Crimean port. Russian warships in Ukrainian waters... that has to end.

  2. You are.

  3. I think what your guest is predicting regarding China is nonsensical. China is desperate to return to good trading relationships with the west. It's economic survival may well depend on it. You can talk about parallels with ruzzia, but China is not ruzzia.

  4. Additionally, it's complicated. Some people support Isrsel, others Hamas. Some people support Ukraine, others ruzzia. Then there's a weird mix of people who care about one but not the other, or something as crazy as supporting Ruzzia and Israel (maga) OR supporting Hamas and Ukraine (far left/woke). Then there are those who don't give a toss about either.

  5. But far less of a joke than your clownish incoming president.

  6. Joseph is interesting but too often gets things wrong e.g. his comment about the "little bag of bolts". What were the specifics? Did he even know?

  7.  @Tespri He also admitted that he was bored without a war. Putin's own comment.

  8. Thank you for a wonderful discussion with a wonderful guest. Hoping someone can answer this... Why does Russia lie about everything? It needs to focus on fixing itself instead of wrecking its neighbors. Why is Russia so blind to the obvious? As for the Russian language, I've always had a dislike for the sound of it. The language just sounds bad. It grates. No offense intended.

  9. That's not what he said at all. You're the dork for not understanding what he said or lying about what he said.

  10. Given that Russia has a huge spy network operating in the west, why does Russia still not understand the west? Clearly Russia is awfully confused!

  11. Sadly for me, the sound of barking dogs triggers a complete meltdown. I just don't tolerate dogs and I'm all out of valium. I'll have to give this one a miss... but thanks for the great work you're doing.

  12. He might be right but talk is cheap. People have been talking for 20 months. Time for action.

  13. Exactly. I've always referred to it as "the Ukraine" and just accepted that it was Russian territory. That's kind of how it was always presented.

  14. Not really.

  15. That was very interesting and enlightening.

  16. Fake news.

  17. Your guest was incredibly informative. I hope you have him back on.

  18. 30 seconds of research, and you'd answer your own question.

  19. Briliant guest. Thank you.

  20. A broken clock can be right occasionally. Just saying.

  21. Thatcher may well have been a hard women but what would she do against Russia? Well, she would have to consider the realities on the ground as current leaders do. There would still be pootin and to deal will. There would still be nuclear threats to consider and the realisation that Russia has gone mad would still exist.

  22. What's your point, and how does it relate to the topic? I'd suggest you're the one waffling.
    2
  23. Nor do I, and that worries me.

  24. Criticisms of this channel aside, great comment. Particularly your take on Trump and the woke left. That's exactly my position. Yes, those of us outside of the U.S. will never fully understand, but we'll keep trying but there is no excuse for the misrepresentation of Trump etc. I agree.
    2
  25. You're spot on. I've also been saying the same thing.
    2
  26. The comments are are full of lying trolls today.

  27. I feel this commentary misrepresents the overall situation. It shouldn't be all about the US. Europe got caught with its pants down big time. Too many NATO countries slackened off (as said by Trump). I'm not a Trump supporter but he was spot on with his criticism of the European laggards. There are dozens of countries supposedly supporting Ukraine...what the hell are they allow doing right now? If Ukraine runs out of ammunition, we should be blaming the whole of the free world, or at least those who've done little.

  28. Stupidity?

  29. I wonder how the dam collapse is going to affect all of this going forwad? The flooding is likely to be significant.
    2
  30. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the old tired 'whataboutism' argument. Sadly for you your work was in vain. Nice try though. America has done an enormous amount of good in this would. I'm not American but I would be proud of my country if I was.

  31. Who is making the decisions around what and when weapons are sent? I'm guessing it's politicians because actual military experts would likely get it right, wouldn't they? That said, we should never forget that is all due to Russia's barbarity. Russia would us to be blaming ourselves for what they've unleashed.

  32. Nonsense. There's a huge difference between caution which is what the US IS doing and what you are accusing the US of actually doing.

  33. ​@SiliconCurtain wow, I didn't realise the UK was still using miles. I can convert in my head because miles were still used in NZ until the early 70s, but it's likely many can't, and wouldnt know what a mile is.

  34. Stupid pointless hate filled comment.. why?

  35. Ukraine reclaimed roughly 50% of the territory taken by Russia in 2022. I see no reason why they can't do it again. Russia is weaker than it was then. Ukraine is stronger. Taking 50% of the remaining could have them knocking on the door of Crimea.

  36. All true, but hinsight is a wonderful thing. I'm glad you mentioned the LNG trade into Europe. This has had my blood boiling for a while. That and the oil shipped to China and India.

  37. Trump should be impeached for treason, but the Republican party is too compromised and/or too corrupt to do it.
    2
  38. I'm not impressed by your guest. I've seen him on other channels. Was never impressed. Roch Rachon has him on. I turn off. I also think the idea that allowing Ukraine to lose is the goal of the West, even if it looks that way. That's ridiculously simplistic thinking.
    2
  39. China aside... no surprise that Russia defended its right to not lockdown.... no surprise at all given Russia and Russian's apparent total disregard for human life.
    2
  40. I'm struggling to make any sense of this guest's commentary, especially on Syria. His geopolitical position seems to be all over the place? I'm pretty much centrist politically. Your guest seems to be well to the left. That might account for our misalignment?

  41. Trump's words don't indicate anything reliably
    2
  42. What?

  43. NATO is not even fighting. Wagner gradually took bakhmut after 12 months of fighting with massive losses including 20k dead Wagner fighters and 20k dead Russian prisoners. Not something to boast about. Ukraine is retaking the city as we speak.

  44. Anyone who believes ruzzia is "Christian" or "spiritual" needs a brain check. Ruzzia is a hell-hole.

  45. ​ @mebsrea  Is Brexit really due to Russia? If I were a UK citizen, I would have voted leave. Maybe that would have been the wrong choice in hindsight, but my "support" for Brexit related mostly to the EU immigration policies and other EU meddling issues. Nothing to do with Russia. This was pretty much the reason across the board in discussions I listened to. I still view the EU as a bit of a political mess.
    2
  46. That's ridiculous.

  47. ​ @gerryhouska2859 That's a cynical and disingenuous take, and it's obviously not Biden's intent.
    2
  48. Another troll?
    2
  49. TROLL?

  50. The right wing sounded intelligent a few years back when they were exposing the worst extremes of the woke left, but since then they've been pretty much wrong about everything. Kind of the the proverbial broken clock.
