I'm here to create brief analysis videos on geopolitical matters and to share videos of my visits to Ukraine, where I provide trucks and drones to the armed forces.
My take on Trump's shadow government
Here’s a quick snippet from yesterday’s episode of the Radicalized: Truth Survives podcast (www.youtube.com/@radicalizedpod/videos) that I took part in. We discussed Trump's shadow government.

On Friday, May 31st, I participated in a live interview on Euronews Serbia, addressing the partial lifting of the American ban on Ukraine using US weapons to target russian territory. Additionally, I provided insights on the frontline situation and highlighted russia's stance on its unlawfully annexed regions, which it does not acknowledge as entirely russian. ➡️ To read my daily analysis threa...
My interview about the situation in Ukraine with Ljubisa Ivanovic from Euronews Serbia

On Thursday, May 30th, I participated in a brief interview with Ljubisa Ivanovic from Euronews Serbia. Our discussion covered the situation at the front and Western restrictions on Ukraine, among other topics. Within 24 hours of the interview, the US eased some of its restrictions on Ukraine's ability to strike russia. #ukraine #russia #kharkiv
I wonder about your stance on Kosovo since Russia unlawful annexed Donbas and Crimea. But I guess that NATO occupation and declaration of Kosovo independence is probably lawful. Lawful by American "laws"
Nice interview!
Thank you Samuel!
What is your take on these issues?
I agree that it is important for Europe to be investing more in defense. The U.S. is being stretched thin due to China's build-up which is requiring more and more resources as well as the ongoing war in the Middle East, so they cannot afford to be as focused on Europe.
@@SamuelDividends Thank you for your comment Samuel! I agree 100%. Europe needs to wake up to this reality. The US does not need to fully disengage from Ukraine and Europe, but a partial disengagement is entirely understandable
@@askolageopolitics 👍
Mark Rutte is a double edged sword. He is a great negotiator. He's nickname is Teflon Mark. He has a few notable screw ups under his name in the Netherlands. But the man is a great manager and a true leader amongst men. The way he rose to power in the Netherlands is worth a Netflix documentary in and of itself. Truly reMARKable.
Good work Joni! Nice to hear sane takes on such outrageous ideas like Trump on Nato.
What are your thoughts on the upcoming French elections? Do you think that Macron's party will win?
Hi Samuel! That's a great question! Macron's party isn't expected to win (and he probably knew it when dissolving the parliament). It looks like the Rassemblement National or the Left wing block (Nouveau Front Populaire) will come out on top. I recently posted a brief thread discussing Macron's gamble a few days ago: x.com/joni_askola/status/1805272325153247351
@@askolageopolitics Thanks!
Very knowledgeable and well balanced information. Thank you for sharing. As an American, we are ourselves struggle to understand the complex structure of the alliance.
Thank you Kalevi!
What do you think about Mark Rutte's appointment? Thank you for your support. Your likes and subscriptions help me grow this channel and I appreciate it!
It is a risk. His politics were quite disastrous to the Netherlands (in some regards ). But on the other hand he was also the longest sitting Prime minister we had. The bigger the scandal in one term the bigger the election victory that followed after it. The man was indefeatable. If anyone can build that coalition it's Mark. Oh don't take the nice peaceful appearance for weakness tho. The man has the power and the restraint to crush his enemies.
6:49 I feel that comparing the large population numbers living in a city to the numbers of attacking forces is misleading. The bombing of Rotterdam by small numbers of German planes resulted in capitulation of the Netherlands. "1,150 people were killed, with 711 deaths in the 14 May bombing alone" - Wikipedia The population of Rotterdam in 1940 was 620,000. This was a punk with a butter knife cowing a population into subjugation, which would take WAY more lives later, including Jews.
4:09 Excuse me but what has the United States told Russia they would do if Russia uses tactical nuclear weapons? From what I've heard it's a Vague Red Line, comparable to Kamala Harris telling illegal immigrants "Don't come." They came and nothing happened. I respect your fine and cultivated intellect and mastery of languages.
I found your channel :) I can't wait to see more :D - Kalevi
Hi Kalevi! Nice meeting you on the convoy! I'll keep you updated when I start posting a bit more regularly!
The whole problem with the US aid is unfortunately you folks are dealing with a senile old man who can't make any decisions. He's not allowed to make any decisions. His handlers make them all and tell him when and what to send you. That fits right in with the Joe Biden for his whole life, too little too late. I lived in Delaware when he was a senator and I learned that he talked a good line but when it came to doing anything about it there was nothing but a lot of🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗The democrat party is scrambling around trying to find someone to replace him in case he completely breaks down before the election. So don't go down in the well with his rope.
What other analysis would you like to see on this channel? Thank you for your support. Your likes and subscriptions help me grow this channel and I appreciate it!
As an American, I am always interested to hear insights on the evolving geopolitical landscape of Europe as a whole as well as individual European countries. It would also be interesting to hear details about how individual European countries are increasing their military capabilities to counter the growing Russian threat.
@@SamuelDividends Samuel, thank you for your comment! Your idea is great, and I will make an analysis video about it.
Howdy - I would be interested in hearing more regarding Asia. I think we hear a lot of Europe and North America. I feel like I am lacking about news from Asia, especially Korea, Japan, China ect...
This Asia analysis kurronen mentions above would be interesting to hear as I only have very vague and mediocre understanding on their positions considering the subject.
American, I appreciate cultural tidbits of heartfelt moments breaking up big grim truths. War is hell, reindeer jerky is herkullinen! War is hell. You are analytical and forthcoming Avoid giving away too much, fudge a little (everybody loves fudge). Maybe less intense topics? Public opinions, weather info, brief updates on EU national decisions, more personal stories regarding international interactions. Been getting learning over here, ty
Great video!
This video marks the beginning of my journey on this channel, where I aim to share concise analysis videos and document my trips to Ukraine for equipment donations. Your likes and subscriptions are greatly appreciated as they will contribute to the growth of my channel.
I am subscribed and look forward to watching your journey!
@@SamuelDividends Thank you Samuel!
As a driver, you will be careful. As a commenter with a grasp of the minutia of the war you have the skills to offer us much more. I hope you will use some of your time to do that.
