  1. Thank you for your fine reports Alexander. The notion that Switzerland is a suitable venue for serious talks of this nature is ludicrous.

  2. President Trump will have to decide between restoring the American dream for US citizens or stomping around the world like a deranged hegemon. It's one or the other.

  3. Thanks Alexander for a marvelous programme.

  4. Great comment.

  5. Indeed the European Union project needs to be ended. The more modest EEC needs to be restored and the pretend parliament dissolved.

  6. Hi Alexander. The picture and sound are fine, we are here for your analysis. Insightful as always. Thank you.

  7. Yes indeed. The last European dictator and his wife met a grizzly end in Romania.

  8. Well another 2 or 3 years of conflict should thankfully put an end to the European project.

  9. Marvelous report Alexander. Thank you for the long hours and the fine work.

  10. Hardly a surprise

  11. Thanks Alexander for these exceptional daily updates. It is an extraordinary achievement. I always get a sinking feeling when you mention negotiations. The Russian economy might be doing great, there is considerable progress on the battlefield but when it comes to negotiations the Russians and particularly Putin are pretty grim. The Europeans are a pit of serpents.

  12. I have seen videos on the restoration and reconstruction of Mariupol. It warms my heart after watching the shocking videos of Graham Phillips and Patrick Lancaster during the conflict.

  13. Great analysis, always something new to learn. I think the criticism of Viktor Orban is ridiculous as far as I know he left that meeting with billions of euros for Hungary, funds that had been frozen.

  14. A superb detailed report as always from the best analyst in the business. Only point I would make is in relation to opinion polls, you can basically get an opinion poll to say whatever you want. These cannot be taken seriously no matter which side is paying for it.

  15. And there was the helicopter crash in Iran.

  17.  @michelemcneill3652  precisely. Brexit was a fantastic opportunity for Europe to abandon the toxic transatlantic relationship but sadly their hatred of Russia was too strong.

  18. Thanks Alexander. 18% seems colossal but bare in mind interest rates in the ECB increased from 0.5% to 4.5% a nine fold increase, now that is colossal.

  19. Good one.

  20. Trudeau realises exactly what he is doing. They all do.

  21. Same in Ireland. Population is extremely dispirited and very dissatisfied with the political elite who invariably represent the World Economic Forum.

  22. International Law does not apply to Israel and if there is fertile land that can be swiped then they will swipe it.

  23. Tel Aviv not Miami

  24. Dragons. They need the dragons from Game of Thrones. Which seems to be in progress in Kiev.

  25.  @riccardodececco4404  very well put.

  26. A really interesting comment.

  27. Outstanding analysis again today by Alexander, the political shenanigans we are witnessing are fascinating.

  28. The exact same thought crossed my mind today. These things are astonishing targets.

  29. The Egyptian president was perfectly entitled to express his outrage in whatever way he saw fit.

  30. The Europeans are hardly blameless. The United Kingdom has always been obsessed with Russia. And the French and Germans were dishonest during the Minsk accords.

  31. I suspect there are huge numbers of NATO advisors and special forces active there. And an even larger amount of recently "retired" european soldiers.

  32. Alexander is a fine presenter of very difficult issues. Highly informed and not infected by narrative. Immeasurably better than the hysteria and sound bytes of Legacy Media.

  33. Great analysis all this week. I'm not sure if they have tabloid newspapers in Russia but when it comes to British wars, who could forget the headlines from the Falklands war. "ARGIE BARGIE" and "STICK IT UP YOUR UP YOUR JUNTA". Of course that war would have turned out very differently if the United States didn't stop the French supplying Exocet missiles to Argentina. It's all about logistics, I guess.

  34. There is no point in President Putin and Biden meeting . It would be like visiting poor grandad in the care home. Biden doesn't seem to remember much. He would probably tell President Putin about how he scared off Corn Pop.

  35. Lindsey Graham announced from his closet that Ukraine was worth 10 trillion dollars.

  36. Diplomacy has been replaced by arrogance and supercilious lecturing along with a generous dollop of virtue signalling. A craven bunch.

  37. Isn't it amazing that people swallow the anti Putin nonsense they are fed by the media. His speeches are extraordinary, if only people would listen.

  38. I really appreciate your programmes Alexander. While there is no doubt that Russia is winning the economic war especially in Europe I'm getting concerned that this is not the case on the battlefield. Sometimes it seems that while Russia is very capable when it comes to missile technology it doesn't seem to have have any real airforce capability in a supporting role for ground forces. The area on the west Bank of the Dnieper seems like a seriously difficult situation.

  39. Thanks Alexander. Great analysis as always.

  40. He needs to stop negotiating, he's not really very good at it. Why change what's working. According to the Russian statistics the Dnipro Oblast is worth 5 trillion in resources.

  41. This is so true. Putin is a conviction politician. There is a depth to his speeches that is so different to the soundbite nonsense we are used to in the west.

  42. Dear God, no, 4 hours of that.

  43. Cameron, Johnson, Truss, Sunak. And soon Starmer on the way things are looking very bleak.

  44. Great analysis as always. I do think however that although President Putin may not have mentioned it the situation in Estonia and Latvia which have significant Russian populations is not ideal. There is ongoing persistent Russophobic behaviour and harassment. Russian culture is being denigrated, the Russian language is being suppressed and there is shameful destruction of memorial monuments. Narva is as Russian as Odessa or Mariupol. These part of the Baltic would be a significant strategic fit for Russian security in a rather difficult area. I suspect that Lithuania will join with Poland and Western Ukraine when the SMO is concluded.

  45. Great analysis as always Alexander. The Zelensky gang are so desperate they will attempt anything. We must remember that it was the US/UK that were orchestrating the false flag gas attacks in Syria and the sabotage of Nord Stream so they will be up to their necks in any dirty bomb attack.

  46. Not really. If anti war is your number one priority then OK but if you have concerns about Irish issues, look elsewhere. I am always impressed with Clare and Mick but I won't be voting for them.

  47. For historical reasons due to to Britain's naval and colonial past it is obsessed with the Black Sea, Crimea and the battle of Balaclava. Perhaps they learn it at Sandhurst.

  48. 404 no longer exists

  49. The purpose of the Special Military Operation is denazification, demilitarisation, the liberation of Donbass and the security of Crimea. Has something changed?

  50. It seems to be resolved, Gerasemov and Shoigu will go. The conductor will take a rest in Minsk and be back to liberate Kramatorsk presently.
