“The Americans’ love of doing good business may lead them to denude us of all our realisable resources before they show any inclination to be the Good Samaritan.” - Winston Churchill
Have we banned all russian travel? Seized all russian business assets and personal assets? How many buildings in the US are actuality owned by russia? Hotels? Office buildings?
Remember - Zelenski got a very warm welcome in Washington in 2022 - but last year he got the 'brush off' from this dependable ally. Now, there are enough objectors in Congress to stop the President's aid to Ukraine!! Putin was once a colonel in the KGB - that means that he can now use these operators for his own purpose. Putin is VERY RICH (from all his theft) and politicians are VERY CHEAP - do I have to spell it out?
Putins KGB career amounted to being an office boy behind a desk in E. Berlin- a nobody. The stories about Putin, the brilliant Soviet James Bond and exceptionally capable spymaster tasked with running the most important and dangerous operations during the Cold War, are all lies. And the only American politician dumb enough to try to get away with taking a large bribe from Moscow, was Biden when he took that $500k from the mayor, but I doubt they would even approach him with an offer today. Biden has refused to properly supply Ukraine militarily for 2 years, slowly drip feeding and supplying Ukraine in a way that allows them to be only strong enough to survive, but not win or even cause serious damage. Unless Biden finally starts supplying Ukraine with what it needs to actually win, theres no reason for the US to waste more resources and tax money just to prolong the inevitable.
It is very painful that the USA has abandoned Ukraine, this is what Putin felt would happen... the USA's failure to supply weapons is an appalling lack of courage as the USA sits back and watches Ukrainians die and cities being completely destroyed. But is fits the US goals in Ukraine, they have never been supportive of Ukraine to win this war... the USA will sit back and watch Russia conquer Ukraine.... sad these AMericans, an undependable nation, it seems the Americans are not trustworthy!!!!
Why should American citizens be responsible for Zelenski's war? America can't even protect its own border let alone a country 2000 miles away. Get real
Ukraine is making weapons, however no where in Ukraine is free of Russia missiles... how successful they will be is just a guess! Ukraine falsely put their hopes on the West and USA, this was misplaced as Western nation are too slow, lacking in commitments and will not give the weapons they need to win this war.... the Americans have never been supportive of Ukriane winning the war...and now the USA faces a collapse of governance, the nation may become a "Failed State" soon. far too many Americans are supporters of Putin. the Republican Party is the Putin Party today!

Mr. Chapman mentioned that the support for Ukraine is quite cheap, with which I agree, and mentions 0.02% of GDP per year - that number is rather inaccurate, even for the UK. According to Ukraine Support Tracker the contributions from different countries until now is shown below, this includes allocated money which means it is over more than two years, but still its never going to be 0.02% of GDP. 1. Estonia 4.09% 2. Denmark 3.06% 3. Lithuania 2.04% 4. Norway 1.72% 5. Latvia 1.67% 6. Netherlands 1.45% 7. Slovakia 1.43% 8. Poland 1.32% 9. Finland 1.29% 10. Germany 1.06% ... 20. Hungary 0.69% ... 22. France 0.65% (though ifw Kiel does say the magnitude of French contributions is uncertain) ... 26. UK 0.55% ... 33. US 0.32% The US would have to increase its support by 10 times to reach the top two. By the way, two of the top 4 supporters as proportion of GDP (Denmark and Norway) have never been Russian (or Soviet) vassal states.
Putin is not afraid of anyone otherwise he would have to stop messing with Ukraine. Unfortunately it does seem that NATO is afraid of Putin otherwise they would had already added Ukraine to NATO no questions asked. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 .
Hope you are right.Most seem to say sanctions have made little difference. Russia finding ways of exporting huge amounts of oil (secretive transfers at sea)......British companies parts finding their way into Russian rockets via Kazakhstan or similar...
Get there firstest with the mostest. Logistics in six words. Ukraine's allies have played into the hands of the Russian dictator by blowing both the firstest part and the mostest part.
The overal Russian economy looks good but this is due to military spending. The social economy has contracted by 25%. The Russian economy will collapse within 2 years. More importantly with their increasing weak economy it would not be possible for Russia to occupy all of Ukraine. Their economy could not afford it and they don't have enough soldiers to occcupy such a large country anyway.
Send troops to defeat the enemy? Their reinforcements compensate for the losses monthly! After elections (and Vlad is well secured in another term), there will be a general mobilization. I was hoping Avdiivka would hold another month. I was sad when Ukrainian forces strategically withdrew. #wereitsoeasy 🥺
Can someone weigh in on why the sanction most likely to succeed is not to simply not recognize the Russian passport or trade anywhere in the west period!
Better spend money on hiring heating engineers/plumbers than on imported methane gas. Many gas furnaces in Britain are controlled by on/off thermostats (inefficient), rather than by weather compensation. Weather compensation reduces the power down to the needed level, which is more efficient (less gas used to keep the same level of comfort). Making sure the heating systems gets optimised for low running cost, will reduce imports and keep the handy, skilled people busy. (and help end the recession)
I dont believe that sanctions alone are nearly enough. Pour in that sweet military aid.

Time's Radio, thank you for existing. From a U.S. listener.
This channel is great! Hope it keeps growing. Way better than normal mainstream media.
PERFECTLY SAID !!!!!
Very good!
That's something I've always wondered, why not just give all the Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine. Then instead of cobbling together some new and old bits to make the Challenger 3, we could just buy some shiny new tanks like those nice Korean K2s. They could be made in the UK under licence, much like the Poles are doing with their K2 purchase.
Not even 1 did appear on the battle field!!!

It is always easier to do the wrong thing instead of the right one.
Yeah? How'd you work that out?
I'd be curious to go back the past 2 years and see how many times the Times had said his regime is at risk or over. I'm getting pretty desensitized
Don't forget this war was expected to last a week. Here we are 2 years later.......
One of the myths of this war is that the Russians thought they would win in a week . The myth that Russia would take Kiev in 3 days came about because US General Milley said he thought it would take that long, and he was wrong. The Russians have never given out any timetables or plans. The only thing the Russians have said is they plan for the war to last until 2025.

Russia’s mobilisation is causing problems in Russia with the loss of workers to maintain cities with complex heating systems breaking down. It’s been a very cold winter.
One of the best interviews on this war analysis. A really clear minded military man
So much loss it's hard for me to comprehend.
Watching Times Radio is like looking into a parallel universe!
Hi Russian shill/Bot How R U today ? Please explain your response with some clarity , if possible.
Yeah crazy how incorrect this is. Sanctions have only hurt the west. My gas bill just came in, at 255 for 5 weeks when I did a meter reading. Not including electric I'm, not sure what that will be but it's was 445 the last quarter. Russia is doing fine. It's killed off its do nothing and criminal population on the front while draining Ukraine of men. Ukraine doesn't have enough men left in country to mount anything. Not unless the west is involved and these people are losing grip on their power so much as people wake up since covid that they will probably cause a world war to get themselves out of it distract everyone then rise as the saviours of a problem they caused. thsts the plan.

Someone’s been primed to think the way others want them to. When will people realise the internet is a thing and has all the information on everything on it? People seem to prefer to be in a small bubble dictated to by others.
@Dude0000 who you talking about?
There's definitely "magic" weapons. Ones that change the tide of a battle upon their first deployments. One's without answer, that alter warfare. The sword. The gun. The mortar, The ship, the plane, chemical and nuclear at their time where game changers that leaped their opposition by decades eliminating modern tactics.
and these new high tech (for their time) took decades to develop...... Has Ukraine got decades? I'd give them a few months at best
there probably ARE magic weapons but USA is saving them for the Taiwan/China conflict without revealing their hand. Drones have pretty much changed warfare in the last 2 years

“The Americans’ love of doing good business may lead them to denude us of all our realisable resources before they show any inclination to be the Good Samaritan.” - Winston Churchill
Have we banned all russian travel? Seized all russian business assets and personal assets? How many buildings in the US are actuality owned by russia? Hotels? Office buildings?
We need to pressure India to stop helping Russia
Remember - Zelenski got a very warm welcome in Washington in 2022 - but last year he got the 'brush off' from this dependable ally. Now, there are enough objectors in Congress to stop the President's aid to Ukraine!! Putin was once a colonel in the KGB - that means that he can now use these operators for his own purpose. Putin is VERY RICH (from all his theft) and politicians are VERY CHEAP - do I have to spell it out?
Putins KGB career amounted to being an office boy behind a desk in E. Berlin- a nobody. The stories about Putin, the brilliant Soviet James Bond and exceptionally capable spymaster tasked with running the most important and dangerous operations during the Cold War, are all lies. And the only American politician dumb enough to try to get away with taking a large bribe from Moscow, was Biden when he took that $500k from the mayor, but I doubt they would even approach him with an offer today. Biden has refused to properly supply Ukraine militarily for 2 years, slowly drip feeding and supplying Ukraine in a way that allows them to be only strong enough to survive, but not win or even cause serious damage. Unless Biden finally starts supplying Ukraine with what it needs to actually win, theres no reason for the US to waste more resources and tax money just to prolong the inevitable.
Tremendous arguments in favour of just getting on and supporting Ukraine .
It is very painful that the USA has abandoned Ukraine, this is what Putin felt would happen... the USA's failure to supply weapons is an appalling lack of courage as the USA sits back and watches Ukrainians die and cities being completely destroyed. But is fits the US goals in Ukraine, they have never been supportive of Ukraine to win this war... the USA will sit back and watch Russia conquer Ukraine.... sad these AMericans, an undependable nation, it seems the Americans are not trustworthy!!!!
Both the senate and the house will vote in favor it's just been delayed,
Why should American citizens be responsible for Zelenski's war? America can't even protect its own border let alone a country 2000 miles away. Get real
Ukraine should make their own weapons or fund using taxes or war bonds then, no congress vote needed for that .
Buddy, how do you not realise that is was Biden regime that led to this disaster?
Ukraine is making weapons, however no where in Ukraine is free of Russia missiles... how successful they will be is just a guess! Ukraine falsely put their hopes on the West and USA, this was misplaced as Western nation are too slow, lacking in commitments and will not give the weapons they need to win this war.... the Americans have never been supportive of Ukriane winning the war...and now the USA faces a collapse of governance, the nation may become a "Failed State" soon. far too many Americans are supporters of Putin. the Republican Party is the Putin Party today! The USA is just not a dependable nation!!!! @@kiwisdontfly
Russian economy is struggling, an inflation over 16%, declining income, huge deficit, over 70% of population taking short-term loans to survive.

Thank you General! I love to hear you speak. You are so insightful. If only you and General Hodges were in charge of the Ukrainian Army and had all the tools necessary to defeat the Russians. This war would be terminated thus year, and many lives could be spared. Thank you General. Thank you Times Radio!
The interviewer believes the Kremlin-critical blogger who was publishing the problems with the war took his own life. That’s so adorable!
Chip is well versed in all aspects of this war, and it's great to hear from him. Do you think he has a cat?🙀😺🤔. That would be beneficial to his analysis. The usual excellent job by James. Co2 level, please James
Well versed in all but pronounciation of words like Robotyne and Palantir.
No they are not. The Russian economy is at a higher growth level than all G7 countries, even exceeding the US. Sanctions have helped the Russian economy.
I like watching your coverage and news, but you absolutely must get the level of the audio right. This video has an rms level that is about 10dB too low. When TH-cam interruptus with an advertisement, the volume of the commercial is deafening. The problem is your video's audio level, not the advertisement's audio level.
Good interview. Thanks guys.

Mr. Chapman mentioned that the support for Ukraine is quite cheap, with which I agree, and mentions 0.02% of GDP per year - that number is rather inaccurate, even for the UK. According to Ukraine Support Tracker the contributions from different countries until now is shown below, this includes allocated money which means it is over more than two years, but still its never going to be 0.02% of GDP.
1. Estonia 4.09%
2. Denmark 3.06%
3. Lithuania 2.04%
4. Norway 1.72%
5. Latvia 1.67%
6. Netherlands 1.45%
7. Slovakia 1.43%
8. Poland 1.32%
9. Finland 1.29%
10. Germany 1.06%
...
20. Hungary 0.69%
...
22. France 0.65% (though ifw Kiel does say the magnitude of French contributions is uncertain)
...
26. UK 0.55%
...
33. US 0.32%
The US would have to increase its support by 10 times to reach the top two.
By the way, two of the top 4 supporters as proportion of GDP (Denmark and Norway) have never been Russian (or Soviet) vassal states.
Sound quality not up to usual standard!

I don't believe you can join NATO if you are at war.

Reduced to "war is peace." Can you hear yourselves?

They failed to discuss the sanctions !

Hope you are right.Most seem to say sanctions have made little difference. Russia finding ways of exporting huge amounts of oil (secretive transfers at sea)......British companies parts finding their way into Russian rockets via Kazakhstan or similar...
Get there firstest with the mostest. Logistics in six words. Ukraine's allies have played into the hands of the Russian dictator by blowing both the firstest part and the mostest part.
Europe is stepping up, long live Europe! Nobody can rely on the Yanks.
🤡
Europe isn’t stepping up so much as it’s Stomping Down on Putin
No one can rely on the Republicans.
Except for cruelty.
The overal Russian economy looks good but this is due to military spending. The social economy has contracted by 25%. The Russian economy will collapse within 2 years. More importantly with their increasing weak economy it would not be possible for Russia to occupy all of Ukraine. Their economy could not afford it and they don't have enough soldiers to occcupy such a large country anyway.
LOUDER PLZ!
Enough of this dictatorship. Time to retire Vlad, enjoy your grand kids and what is left of your life..
Cannot hear it
You're number 3 so far. I guess Times Radio needs many more complaints.
might not stop
Send troops to defeat the enemy?
Their reinforcements compensate for the losses monthly! After elections (and Vlad is well secured in another term), there will be a general mobilization.
I was hoping Avdiivka would hold another month. I was sad when Ukrainian forces strategically withdrew.

Articulate and intelligent man
Volume is very low here, folks...
You both need to turn your volume up.
The same old story. Out of men, shovels, washing machine chips and an economy in tatters. 🤦♂
Yeh, they look like they're suffering from sanctions.
Why is there such a substantial difference in volume between the interviewer and Chapman? Isn't making them roughly equal an audio 100 level skill?
The sound on this is very poor... the volume needs levelling and compressing... ads are 5 times louder!
OK, fifth complaint so far. Maybe Times Radio will start caring.
Can someone weigh in on why the sanction most likely to succeed is not to simply not recognize the Russian passport or trade anywhere in the west period!
"Weak men (think Biden, Scholz, Macron, Sunak..... Trudeau, Albanese) create hard times".
I think the sanctions are doing the russians a huge favor as opposed to uk in the brink of recession.
Better spend money on hiring heating engineers/plumbers than on imported methane gas.
Many gas furnaces in Britain are controlled by on/off thermostats (inefficient), rather than by weather compensation. Weather compensation reduces the power down to the needed level, which is more efficient (less gas used to keep the same level of comfort).
Making sure the heating systems gets optimised for low running cost, will reduce imports and keep the handy, skilled people busy. (and help end the recession)
