It's true that Putin ordered russians troops near Kiev to retreat out of good faith however it's not like those troops were enough to take Kiev anyway. There were just there to put pressure on Kiev regime in order to push them into the negotiations table and they succeeded at that.
it's just a question of "do you want to give the Russians what they demand *right now* , or would you rather wait another 6 months when those demands are even worse for ukraine?"

Therefore, we can finally collectively agree that Zelensky was never elected to negotiate peace. Remembering, correctly, that was the paramount reason for his being elected to his position to date to negotiate peace.
@@JohnJohnson-n3n Zelensky was supposed to speak to (and negotiate peace with) the rebel forces in Donbass, not Putin. He (Zelensky) refused, despite campaigning on it during the election. The Minsk agreements which Kiev signed up to stated that negotiation was to take place between Kiev and and Donbass rebels, not with Russia. Russia eventually concluded that Kiev was stalling for time so that it could build up its forces in preparation to launch an attack against the Donbass and Crimea. Multiple European leaders have now conceded that this was the true purpose of the Minsk agreements.
At it again I see. In 2021, under Minsk II he was meant to be talking to the officials in the Donbass, to arrange elections and what not. Talking to Russia was no more help than Donbass official talking to France or Germany...nice but irrelevant. There was a signed agreement in place, and he refused to adhere to it.
@@jenniferlawrence2701 Especially Merkl and Macron. The Minsk Accords were a ruse enabling accelerated weaponization and preparation of Ukraine for War. It is alleged that Ukraine was one week away from committing genocide in Donbass when Russia struck first - during the first days of the rapid advance signed military documents outlining these Ukrainian plans were captured and published. These have been buried by the West. Why? If they are false then why not debunk them? The long denied Ukrainian biolabs captured during the same push turned out to be embarrassingly real. The coordinated chorus of denials and refusals to engage with the provided evidence at the UN should also tell us all we need to know about US complicity in these intended genocides and war crimes.
Zelensky was elected to implement the Minsk Accords and re-establish friendly relations with Russia. That was the platform he ran on and was elected by a landslide (73%).
"With two Ukranians you'll have one guerilla fighting unit, with three Ukranians, you'll have two guerilla fighters and a traitor" old Soviet saying...
"You're delinquent, Mr Elensky?" 😃😃 Trump immediately changed the tune when it comes to US support, and I knew long in advance that we were gonna get to this fork in the road. There is NO way that the EU would be able to make up for the loss of American support, to Kiev, and indeed it will encourage several EU gov'ts to turn off the taps too and head for the exit door,
There was also the issue of Crimea. Russia stood firm that it was Russian since a 2014 referendum. This was doubly important since Russia used Crimea as a strategic base from which to access the Mediterranean. This took place after the Maidan coup, which Russia feared would lead to NATO invading Crimea. This change of ownership was something Zelenski was very unhappy with also in Istanbul.
Zelenski was seemingly wobbling on the NATO issue in Istanbul - until Biden and Johnson came along ro "stiffen his resolve." The territorial takeover is the big change from the situation before 2014, when Ukraine was neutral. Countries under American economic pressure to join in sanctions have the ultimate option of joining Brics. Using it as leverage against Washington.
The whole Ukrainian country - economic, military etc is akin to a patient in a hospital on life support. Medically "dead" but kept alive by life support provided from the West but eventually that life support will be turned off and the "patient" Ukraine, will simply die. What happen to the country after that is anyone's guess but it will undoubtedly be horrendous for the ordinary Ukrainian who survives it all. All this could have been so easily prevented but you "reap what you sow".
That’s what I figured. Appeal to Rubio’s vanity; put him in a top position for a while and then accept his resignation after a series of failures - or one big one.

I can't imagine we'll be seeing any more of that. They were also given some loans so they can still purchase military equipment and of course European countries can buy weapons on their behalf, too. I wouldn't hold out hope that there will be any more Military aid packages passed by the US Congress.
20, 000 American troops will also be removed from Europe, which gives NATO something to think about. Europe needs to come up with more cash, to get US help.

Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity. In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas. If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy. Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time. Russia's national security was compromised once NATO began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining NATO was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns. 20th September, 2021: Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO. NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter). We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster? Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest. Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland. Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”. Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it. Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country. Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list. Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list. There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence). The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present. Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave. Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) R.I.P. The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims). The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter. I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment. I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion. I have provided a brief summary of events that took place. In order to explain this whole situation in great detail, a book would need to be written. Hopefully someone will write an UNBIASED book, stating facts and allowing the readers to form their own judgments. Everything I said can be fact checked and verified.
"Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity" Poster starts with an out and out lie and it doesn't get much better afterwards in his long screed. Of course Zelensky pre-war offered talks to Putin several times in 2021 with no preconditions. Putin refused them because he was set on war by March-April 2021.
Mr Mercouris. I appreciate being able to listen to your analysis rather than following diverse news. I also appreciate you, in co-opted videos with my two favorite professors (Mersheimer & Sachs) letting them speak rather than interrupting them. This tells me much about you as a person. Very appreciative of you for that! Greetings from Serbia/Sweden/Spain 🙂
Bear in mind that there is ample precedent for temporary halts to military aid even in the Biden Administration. It doesn't override legislation, it's merely day-to-day administrative applications. Simply put, if Biden could do it in his administration, Trump can cite that most recent precedent to do it in his administration. It doesn't require a legislative override to end the Ukraine war, a 90 day temporary administrative pause will do.
Stopping / auditing USAID financing is necessary to stop the wasting n bleeding of the American taxpayers money that is badly needed for domestically n for the Americans.
The priorities are going to be Latin America and Arctic sea lanes. It is likely the case this administration is disinterested in Europe and middle east.
There were referenda in 2022 in which the Donbas, Kherson , Zaporozhe voted to join Russia, and Putin has said Russia has to respect this and of course these regions are part of Russia.
@@baldricksimson They were not. They were monitored by international monitors and were very well run, peaceful and legitimate. Not surprisingly, the majority of the people voted to be part of Russia!

Point is usa offers nothing unique, only reason it a big economy is because goods "flow" threw it (not that it mfg it) & if tarrifs are imposed, countrys will "by pass" usa & trade directely with each other (usa doller too will loose relevenc). Hence tariffs will end up hurting usa more, then they will hurt other countrys & why would any one move manufacturing to usa if goods mfg there get tarrifed in other countrys? it wount make sense. So usa will loose the trade (passing via usa goods) too & not gain/attract the mfg too, for wich the tarrifs would have been imposed in first place. As for usa mfg for it self & not reliant on anybody else, that may be nice, but that will be a very small economy & usa will stand nowere in the world. This is how i see this tarrif thing un-folding, lets see how it goes
The only thing effectively common between Istanbul and Istanbul+ is the name. Denmark should seek Russia's help to preserve the territory of Greenland 😀
Alexander, what would you say about the following idea? Maybe Russia should offer Denmark that they could place warships and subs around Greenland to help Denmark protect this area against a possible US invasion? As a goodwill gesture knowing Denmark and the rest of EU don't really have a chance to stop the US from taking over Greenland even if they really wanted to do that being to weak militarily even with UK helping them. With UK having some bigger ships but to few people who want to work in the military and sail them..

The Istanbul agreement on which Ukr, agreed to sign it also had a second part on withdrawal Russian troops from the Kyiv suburbs before signing it, did they have it on the paper or it was another verbal promise a lie and trick? Russia agreed, got withdrawn it's troops but Ukr,, changed suddenly their minds just b,c the BJ, of Brit,, said no to them. Russia always fulfilled their commitments, always and anywhere but they were and are always duped. So what you expect, you have no surprise, the Russian took all in their hands.
This post is a remarkable twisting of what happened in both Istanbul and at the front in Kyiv and throughout Northern Ukraine, and ignores the Bucha slaughter (discovered April 1st).
Alexander, I think you often overestimate the actual degree of power that the U.S. government holds over countries such as Denmark and Panama particularly in these times of waning empire

Russia eventually concluded that Kiev was stalling for time so that it could build up its forces in preparation to launch an attack against the Donbass and Crimea. Multiple European leaders have now conceded that this was the true purpose of the Minsk agreements.
At it again I see. In 2021, under Minsk II he was meant to be talking to the officials in the Donbass, to arrange elections and what not. Talking to Russia was no more help than Donbass official talking to France or Germany...nice but irrelevant. There was a signed agreement in place, and he refused to adhere to it.
@@jenniferlawrence2701 Especially Merkl and Macron. The Minsk Accords were a ruse enabling accelerated weaponization and preparation of Ukraine for War. It is alleged that Ukraine was one week away from committing genocide in Donbass when Russia struck first - during the first days of the rapid advance signed military documents outlining these Ukrainian plans were captured and published. These have been buried by the West. Why? If they are false then why not debunk them? The long denied Ukrainian biolabs captured during the same push turned out to be embarrassingly real. The coordinated chorus of denials and refusals to engage with the provided evidence at the UN should also tell us all we need to know about US complicity in these intended genocides and war crimes.
Zelensky was elected to implement the Minsk Accords and re-establish friendly relations with Russia. That was the platform he ran on and was elected by a landslide (73%).

Trump and Rubio are sending a message loud and clear to the political class in Ukraine. Gravy train is grinding to a halt.
"You're delinquent, Mr Elensky?" 😃😃
Trump immediately changed the tune when it comes to US support, and I knew long in advance that we were gonna get to this fork in the road. There is NO way that the EU would be able to make up for the loss of American support, to Kiev, and indeed it will encourage several EU gov'ts to turn off the taps too and head for the exit door,
Maybe Denmark could ask Russia to put some military bases in Greenland to protect from the US? 😂😂😂
Danes are c ucks and won’t even defend themselves based on how quickly they tapped out in ww2. Why would anyone defend them
Let them address NATO with a claim on USA! 😂
That’s a good suggestion
Will EU sanction USA and stop trade if USA annexes Greenland? Ha hahaha
@@elin4e83 I think EU has to get rid of American totalitarian gas!
Thank you for such an intelligent analysis! I am also very impressed by your attention to the pronunciation of Russian/Ukrainian toponyms.
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
There was also the issue of Crimea. Russia stood firm that it was Russian since a 2014 referendum. This was doubly important since Russia used Crimea as a strategic base from which to access the Mediterranean. This took place after the Maidan coup, which Russia feared would lead to NATO invading Crimea. This change of ownership was something Zelenski was very unhappy with also in Istanbul.
Dixonderasse, fnarr, fnarr.
Zelenski was seemingly wobbling on the NATO issue in Istanbul - until Biden and Johnson came along ro "stiffen his resolve." The territorial takeover is the big change from the situation before 2014, when Ukraine was neutral. Countries under American economic pressure to join in sanctions have the ultimate option of joining Brics. Using it as leverage against Washington.
If Zelensky isn't a dictator. Who is?
That is incorrect. Zelensky would have been murdered by his own Nazis if he made an agreement with the Russians.
Thanks Alexander for your up-to-date, insightful and knowledgeable analysis.

Supp in serbia? Do protest going crazy there??

No israel, know peace.
The whole Ukrainian country - economic, military etc is akin to a patient in a hospital on life support. Medically "dead" but kept alive by life support provided from the West but eventually that life support will be turned off and the "patient" Ukraine, will simply die. What happen to the country after that is anyone's guess but it will undoubtedly be horrendous for the ordinary Ukrainian who survives it all. All this could have been so easily prevented but you "reap what you sow".
The Ukrainian grift is coming to an end
Thank you, Alexander.
Thank you Alexander, I do not believe there is anyone in the west that can hold a candle to President Putin, he is about to call check mate.
My impression is Rubio wont last very long in the Trump cabinet.
I hope you're right!
That’s what I figured. Appeal to Rubio’s vanity; put him in a top position for a while and then accept his resignation after a series of failures - or one big one.
Rubio first trip to Panama could be first step in starting Canal Sabotage War if purpose is to send U.S.troops for occupation of country or operating canal without Panama approval.. A BIG SHTICK approach will not work in the jungle, Canada, Greenland, or Ukraine.

Perhaps the 200,000 troops who were proposed to keep-peace in Ukraine should be dispatched, instead, to Greenland?!?
I have better idea, the 200 000 troops should be dispatched to Antarctica to protect the Cesar pinguins from freezing. Minus 70 C degree will make them sober.
Or Better yet…to Palestine , Lebanon and Syria to kick out the Zionists, HTS , Turks and Americans.
How about putting them to work on building housing for America's homeless?
How about get your military back in your own country and stop creating problems around the world?
Morning U and Alex are the only people with listening to the rest of the news id absolute rubbish . great work
The numbers are almost inconceivable now between Ukraine and Russia, we are looking at a ratio of 60:1 in favour of the Russians.
Regardless of the number of casualties this war is insane and waged by a bunch of corrupt people playing power games. The wrong people always suffer for these demonic idiotic games.
The old man have been swinging to vodka bottle again…
@@damn6 pretending facts are irrelevant always becomes clear at the end.
@@klausschwabshubris So Ukraine and NATO has lost around 60m people in Ukraine?
@ that’s the ratio in Kursk presently. They just did a body swap.
Russia should upgrad its demands to unconditional Ukraine surrender, before Ukraine accepts the current russian demands
But who is officially able, by Ukraine law, to accept any agreement?
You forget Trump has great animous towards Zalensky, Russiagate began with a phone call to Zalensky
They are auditing everything right now. Pretty sure their plan is to exit Ukraine with claims of corruption placing the blame firmly on Biden admin.
I think his 1st impeachment began with that call. Russiagate was created by Clinton campaign in 2016.
Correct. But take Zelensky out of the picture, then what? Trump is a snake.
Trump was never honest in his business dealings so why may he be trusted in dealing with Putin?

They are not cut from military aid
@@Ana-sk4wxnot if they have some left over from the last package passed by Congress. However the last several package that were sent were done using the Presidential Drawdown Authority by Biden. I can't imagine we'll be seeing any more of that. They were also given some loans so they can still purchase military equipment and of course European countries can buy weapons on their behalf, too. I wouldn't hold out hope that there will be any more Military aid packages passed by the US Congress.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to stop military aid and continue normal aid?
20, 000 American troops will also be removed from Europe, which gives NATO something to think about.
Europe needs to come up with more cash, to get US help.
Europe does not need American help. Help with what? There is no serious conventional threat from Russia and if it comes to a nuclear threat America will not help them. It won't sacrifice a single American city for Europe.

Thank you, Alexander. 👍💕
Kellogg is a total disaster. It's time to acknowledge this, Alexander.
Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity.
In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas.
If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy.
Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements.
Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time.
Russia's national security was compromised once NATO began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining NATO was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns.
20th September, 2021: Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO.
NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter).
We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.
Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster?
Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest.
Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland.
Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed.
Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”.
Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it.
Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country.
Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list.
Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list.
There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence).
The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present.
Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave.
Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) R.I.P.
The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims).
The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter.
I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment. I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion.
I have provided a brief summary of events that took place. In order to explain this whole situation in great detail, a book would need to be written.
Hopefully someone will write an UNBIASED book, stating facts and allowing the readers to form their own judgments. Everything I said can be fact checked and verified.
All of this is a lie I seen it on Instagram been mass spamming it for 3 years FYI I just soiled my pants about 10 minutes ago
"Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity"
Poster starts with an out and out lie and it doesn't get much better afterwards in his long screed. Of course Zelensky pre-war offered talks to Putin several times in 2021 with no preconditions. Putin refused them because he was set on war by March-April 2021.
Gracias Alexander .
Mr Mercouris. I appreciate being able to listen to your analysis rather than following diverse news. I also appreciate you, in co-opted videos with my two favorite professors (Mersheimer & Sachs) letting them speak rather than interrupting them. This tells me much about you as a person. Very appreciative of you for that! Greetings from Serbia/Sweden/Spain 🙂
Bear in mind that there is ample precedent for temporary halts to military aid even in the Biden Administration. It doesn't override legislation, it's merely day-to-day administrative applications.
Simply put, if Biden could do it in his administration, Trump can cite that most recent precedent to do it in his administration.
It doesn't require a legislative override to end the Ukraine war, a 90 day temporary administrative pause will do.
Correct. However, Alexander is blinded with Trumps support for White Nationalism. Alexander wants fascist controlling Europe.
Great content Alexander

I love the way you date every episode. I just have to adjust for New Zealand time.
The priorities are going to be Latin America and Arctic sea lanes. It is likely the case this administration is disinterested in Europe and middle east.
There were referenda in 2022 in which the Donbas, Kherson , Zaporozhe voted to join Russia, and Putin has said Russia has to respect this and of course these regions are part of Russia.
this referendum was done at gunpoint , how fair do you think it was ?
@@baldricksimson They were not. They were monitored by international monitors and were very well run, peaceful and legitimate. Not surprisingly, the majority of the people voted to be part of Russia!
Probably the ballot boxes were stuffed judging from the depopulation of the areas in question and the supposed vote totals. United Russia does that at home. Why wouldn't they do it in Ukraine... ??

@@RSingh100the US doesn’t need anything from anyone and will still have the largest economy in the world. It is countries that need to export into the U.S. market (over a quarter of the worlds economy) that are worried, it’s why they are all talking about it. Do you think India has anything worth buying as an export? You already have poverty on a level seen nowhere else on earth besides China, which is why your leaders BOTH pay the tarriffs happily👍🏻
@@baddaddy8718🤣🤣🤣 nobody is paying any tariff, but the buyers.
@baddaddy8718, you got it wrong, what has usa got that anyone would buy from it? cars? its japs, oil? its saudis, grains? its russia, electronics? its jap, clothes? its india, metals? its africs. Point is usa offers nothing unique, only reason it a big economy is because goods "flow" threw it (not that it mfg it) & if tarrifs are imposed, countrys will "by pass" usa & trade directely with each other (usa doller too will loose relevenc). Hence tariffs will end up hurting usa more, then they will hurt other countrys & why would any one move manufacturing to usa if goods mfg there get tarrifed in other countrys? it wount make sense. So usa will loose the trade (passing via usa goods) too & not gain/attract the mfg too, for wich the tarrifs would have been imposed in first place. As for usa mfg for it self & not reliant on anybody else, that may be nice, but that will be a very small economy & usa will stand nowere in the world. This is how i see this tarrif thing un-folding, lets see how it goes

Alexander, what would you say about the following idea? Maybe Russia should offer Denmark that they could place warships and subs around Greenland to help Denmark protect this area against a possible US invasion?
As a goodwill gesture knowing Denmark and the rest of EU don't really have a chance to stop the US from taking over Greenland even if they really wanted to do that being to weak militarily even with UK helping them. With UK having some bigger ships but to few people who want to work in the military and sail them..

The Istanbul agreement on which Ukr, agreed to sign it also had a second part on withdrawal Russian troops from the Kyiv suburbs before signing it, did they have it on the paper or it was another verbal promise a lie and trick?
Russia agreed, got withdrawn it's troops but Ukr,, changed suddenly their minds just b,c the BJ, of Brit,, said no to them. Russia always fulfilled their commitments, always and anywhere but they were and are always duped. So what you expect, you have no surprise, the Russian took all in their hands.
This post is a remarkable twisting of what happened in both Istanbul and at the front in Kyiv and throughout Northern Ukraine, and ignores the Bucha slaughter (discovered April 1st).
