Absolutely! I watched his testimony to the Congress and was horrified to hear that the former President tried to shake down President Zelenskyy, yet was grateful and relieved that Lt. Colonel Vindman had the courage and bravery to speak TRUTH to POWER. Thank you sir! Here Right Matters. 🇺🇸🗽
I really like that Lt Col. Vindman speaks of "compelling Putin to end the war" as opposed to the usual language of 'helping Ukraine be victorious'. It seems to take the global security situation as part and parcel of the entire picture, rather than a few isolated somewhat connected events. Very articulate, even, and realistic man.
What is his actual theory of victory? Saying compelling Putin to end the war or helping Ukraine be victorious are just words. The reason the Ukraine war is still going on because no Western leader has actually articulated how the war comes to an end, they just kick the can down the road. It's like saying a basketball team should win, and then someone asks how, and you tell the person, "You don't want to win?" Everyone knows the West wants Ukraine to win. The question is how? Lay it an actual plan. There's currently no theory of victory, just people like Vindman is just saying what people want to hear.
In other words, the Ukraine war is absent from the news because Ukraine is losing badly, and your favorite news organizations don't want to you to know it because they want you to support sending more young people to die for a hopeless cause? (The cause being to fracture Russia in ethnic lines so that it stops being a regional power.)
Except the west has been consistently failing to “compel” pootin to do anything exactly because it’s too concerned with the paralyzing concept of broader security. There’s no broader security unless you show grit and determination in repelling the aggressor, and the west has been far from consistent here, giving pootin enabling signals to push through further. You can’t compel anyone to make a critical decision when you’re indecisive yourself; it doesn’t work like that, and even less so with “former” kgb agents. What a waste of time and resources.
Alex Vindman is a true American hero. I will never forget the courage he showed in coming forward in 2019 to call out corruption which threatened US national security and the dignity he showed in doing it.
Every time I'm thrilled by a fabulous guest like Vindman, I feel depressed that so few Americans listen and try to understand. I like how clear and solutions oriented Vidman is.
Sir, you are an America Hero and Hero to Europe and Ukraine. you served with dignity and deserved better. Thank you for your service and I hope you continue to have a successful future.
Colonel Alexander Vindman = classic ass-kisser, and Trump hater (why to drag him out now ? , unless he wants to PROPAGADE the War in UKR ( terrible for both Ukies and Ruskis ! )
He's a liar and a terrible human being, service aside. He lied under oath directly to congress (with a straight face multiple times) to have a President impeached. He leaked the call not expecting the transcript to be released.
Vindman gets it when it comes to Ukraine and Russia. Jake Sullivan doesn’t. I remember two years ago Vindman said the longer this war goes on, the more complicated and worse it will get. He was right and still is.
@doughughes5752 from my experience, his attitudes, and his brothers, are indicative of Ukrainian heritage. They understand the concept of freedom from a unique perspective.
Mr. Vindman, first of all... THANK YOU for your service to this country! And second... please consider going on Fox or Newsmax or even the Joe Rogan Show

@@RorkesDriftVCTrump is definitely KGB Putin's useful idiot - an old Soviet term for someone such as Trump who Putin can manipulate to do his bidding without Trump even knowing it
We should assume Putin will make sure he makes a lot of money. Trump is a complete puppet and can be manipulated through cash and vanity. He is not fit to hold office.
One thing not addressed here is terribly slow rate at which the alliance is supplying Ukraine. Soon after the Kursk incursion, Zelenskiy himself said he could only arm 4 new Brigades, even though he was promised enough for 14! Vindman's suggestion for general mobilisation won't work if Ukraine can't equip that many new troops at once. Having said that, I do see an opportunity for Ukraine to push Russia out of Crimea using mass mobilisation next year, but it depends upon the allies supplying the needed equipment entirely over this winter to train everyone up in time for a summer offensive. There's even an argument to continue bleeding the Ruzzians for another year before launching a 2026 offensive because their Soviet stockpiles should finally be (mostly) exhausted by then.
A great big thank you officer Vindman for helping to protect the US and the rest of the world and bringing truth to all of us. God bless you and all of your loved ones.
Today the people of Europe have a very good reason to be worried and concerned. When a country targets and kills innocent civilians with rockets missiles and artillery. Like Russia is still doing in Ukraine. And those 53 Ukrainian civilians killed while attending a memorial service. In the Kharkiv region and village of Hroza on October 11th 2023 comes to mind. Should Ukraine lose the war and Russia decides that it wants more territory than just Ukraine. And last year Russia publicly stated that they want to start a new world order. Then other European countries should expect the same kind of treatment from Russia with their own civilian population. No doubt other European Nato countries are aware of this fact too. And they will do everything they can to give aid and to support the people of Ukraine. Obviously for Europe's own safety and future too not just Ukraine.
Europe together is the third largest economic power in the world. But they have still not put their industries on a war footing. With the USA out this is needed to defend Europe on its own. It just takes the political will.
This is just my opinion but there will always be war. Because history if you study it always has a terrible habit of repeating itself. Meaning some leader of a country somewhere will sooner or later do the unthinkable and start another war and it never fails to happen. Unlike America who is always alert training and ready for war. Many European countries have forgotten this fact. And only now with the illegal Russia invasion of Ukraine. European countries are now starting to rebuild their own militaries. Again history if you study it. Just like clockwork there will always be another war and Europe has to be better prepared for it.
The good news for Europe's. The world is watching what America does in Ukraine and here is the reason why. Not only is America supposed to be the leader of the free world. But all other free democracies from around the world look too and depend on America being that leader. This means supporting Nato and the free and democratic country of Ukraine. Who as we all know was illegally invaded by a larger much more powerful and aggressive foreign power being Russia. Also some people and leaders of other foreign countries. Are familiar with and have even studied America's own Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. The very beliefs and principles that America itself was founded on. Which of course greatly strengthens the faith hope and belief that other people and the leaders of like minded Nations will have in America. To always do the right thing when they are asking America for help.
I agree that Europe certainly has to get their act together. As an American I think that it is imperative and very important that America continue to support the good people of Ukraine. While at the same time recognizing Americas continued leadership and importance to remain a strong and reliable member of Nato. It is well known that Trump and his people do not support these two very important issues. Should America fail to support Ukraine and these two important issues. 1 It will only emboldened Dictators like Putin and other aggressive foreign countries. Giving them the green light to illegally invade their neighbors and other free democracies around the world. 2 A Nato without America as Trump has suggested. This would mean Europe assuming if need be that they are militarily capable of stopping Putin and Russia from further aggression and expansion of Europe by Russia should Ukraine lose the war. Also America being a nuclear power unlike any other on earth. All free democracies from around the world. Look too and depend on America to be the leader of the free world.
@@brianquigley5743 The way they were designed. NATO is built on unanimity. To change that you need unanimity, and a country about to be kicked out wouldn't vote for that rule change. EU actually has a paragraph to suspend, not evict, a member, but it was added as an afterthought, and very easy to subvert.
It’s so good to hear from Alexander Vindman. I really trust his judgment….i don’t know too much about geo-politics, and he’s a true patriot….as is his brother! These men are much more “manly” than Trump.
Vindman’s wife has announced her desire to depart the country because of too many MAGA’s in the US. Hope she takes Alexander with her or perhaps she needed a reason to leave him.
Indeed, a hero you are, Mr. Vindman. Very instructive explanations. My own take about last year was a bit different, i.e., that Ukraine was waiting for U.S. support, too long, given the Russians to create insurpassable mine fields. In other words: it was our fault, not Ukraine's.
To get it passed, aid to Ukraine was also tied with aid to Israel because the Left is currently divided when it comes to aid for Israel. It seems like one hand is supporting an authoritarian and warmonger and the other hand is opposing a warmonger and authoritarian.
The only reason Ukraine has not yet defeated ruSSia is due to the lack of resources. No point of increasing the size of your army when the west over promises and under delivers on resources. Also, Ukraine had no air cover, as does Israel. NATO would have never tried offensive operation without air dominance.
Ukrainian troops are continuously underarmed. Why would you mobilize 18 year old boys? If you don’t have arms to equip them, no place to train them. I don’t understand. Russians had advantage all this time in artillery supply with help of Iran and North Korea. Ukraine is underperforming in artillery having US and EU. So, can we get to reality rather than theory.
Moldova is an ancient country from the time of Bogdan-1 and the principality of Moldavia. 2/3rd of the ancient region of Bessarabia lies in present day Moldova.
The most important, and effective foreign policy changes we need in this country involving engineering situations where we are NOT to "Decide the Fate of the World". Dominance is poisonous. Our policy disasters toward Latin America, for instance, which have driven much of the problem people whine about regarding immigration, are from our engaging dominance behavior instead of a perspective of world democracy and diplomacy. The disaster in Gaza is driven by dominance policies allying with a violent and murderously bigoted Israel, rather than being concerned about the lives of the Jews, Christians, and Islamic people there as all equally human. Even the war in Ukraine has its seed in U.S. dominance behavior neglecting to help Russia after the fall of Yeltsin, and letting the country needlessly become a disaster under a delusion of "free market" bullshit. We can ONLY make things better with evidence based policy and world cooperation, and being Dominant instead of being democratic and diplomatic ALWAYS is a failure. I appreciate the work and professionalism of Alexander, but we ALL need to see this need and make it integral to our political attitudes and conceptions, or our stupidity will soon kill us all.
I am worried as an Aussie that if Trump wins Australia will have no choice but to close all US bases and facilities here and strengthen ties with Vietnam, Philippines and ASEAN generally from which position there can be no turning back.
interesting and thank you. Is the purpose of the USA to rule the world like the colonial empire. our own democracy is crumbling..Of course it was always about shutting my tax money overseas. IMHO, the world is unlikely to make it through another round of colonialism. My concern is people and the environment, both of them are at risk right now. #SHAME
Also, I call BS on the russia-Ukraine war being a war of poor and middle-class people. That’s 1000% true for russia, but it’s a nationwide war for Ukraine. There’s an economy we have to sustain; where someone feels they can contribute more as a volunteer or sponsor while staying in their regular job, they do so, which is one of the critical reasons why our country has been able to withstand the war this long (instead of the west-predicted two-three weeks, remember? Goes on to show you the value of analytics from people who have little influence or indeed understanding of what happens on the ground).
My take on his comments about this are, as always, rich Ukrainians are not being called to fight...the rich have often bought their way out of military combat
The argument that Ukrainians security is vital to the security of NATO implies that if the NATO nations do not admit Ukraine they will fall to Russia strikes me as similar to Conservatives’ Domino Theory of the late 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s.
@@krisdockers2047 this channel consistently offers serious interesting guests but there is almost never engagement in the comments or the many views I think the videos merit.

What a fever dream and false narrative. He talks about forcing rich Ukrainians to fight the war. They are fighting against their will!! How do people buy into this nonsense. Where is the compassion and common sense.
That is Russian misinformation and propaganda. It never happened. What did happen is the signing of the NATO-RUSSIA founding act in which both parties agree that every nation is free to join whichever alliances they choose. That includes Ukraine joining NATO.
It’s not what you say (conscience deception) it’s how you mean it (subconscious truth) perfect law (wisdom) = perfect love (God) Wisdom (Jesus christ) is the son of love (subconscious truth): unconditional life (Holy Spirit) You cannot steal it by conscience living (adherence to the law apart from believing in wisdom, who is God in your heart) You will be an eternal hypocrite (terrorist in the subconscious truth) I.e. white washed tomb; son of the devil (conscience deception = heartless/Godless)
Europe needs a stern warning from the USA to step up its support of Ukraine. Trump would do that. But we need a strong strong NATO. My Canada needs a warning to! Get our military up to standard.
The biblical prophet Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testifies: Time to learn that GOD is in total control, with our only input being our desires and beliefs. Irrational desires and beliefs build a fire that requires PAIN so that we learn not to go there. And this Country and the world has followed the anti-Christ (ego) mentality (selfishness) into insanity so deep that the destruction and pain will match it, as prophesied in the Bible's Book of Revelation. Then GOD and Truth and Sanity will be able to get everyone's attention, and the Phoenix of Truth will eventually rise from the ashes.

The only reason Ukraine has not yet defeated ruSSia is due to the lack of resources. No point of increasing the size of your army when the west over promises and under delivers on resources.
Also, Ukraine had no air cover, as does Israel. NATO would have never tried offensive operation without air dominance.
Ukrainian troops are continuously underarmed. Why would you mobilize 18 year old boys? If you don’t have arms to equip them, no place to train them. I don’t understand.

interesting and thank you. Is the purpose of the USA to rule the world like the colonial empire. our own democracy is crumbling..Of course it was always about shutting my tax money overseas. IMHO, the world is unlikely to make it through another round of colonialism. My concern is people and the environment, both of them are at risk right now. #SHAME
What happens to NORAD if Trump gets back in?
What will Canada have to do to survive being sandwiched again between Putin and Trump?
You think?
Also, I call BS on the russia-Ukraine war being a war of poor and middle-class people. That’s 1000% true for russia, but it’s a nationwide war for Ukraine. There’s an economy we have to sustain; where someone feels they can contribute more as a volunteer or sponsor while staying in their regular job, they do so, which is one of the critical reasons why our country has been able to withstand the war this long (instead of the west-predicted two-three weeks, remember? Goes on to show you the value of analytics from people who have little influence or indeed understanding of what happens on the ground).
My take on his comments about this are, as always, rich Ukrainians are not being called to fight...the rich have often bought their way out of military combat
I was never impressed with bondsman’s point of view on anything …..this re-enforces and vindicates my low opinion
The argument that Ukrainians security is vital to the security of NATO implies that if the NATO nations do not admit Ukraine they will fall to Russia strikes me as similar to Conservatives’ Domino Theory of the late 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s.
Ever heard of divide and conquer?
What an insane person!
What a thoughtful and meaningful comment 🤪
this interviewee sounds like a pro-Israel person. i support Ukraine on morality. i disavow the axis against Iran via Israel.
Isolatises
So a pretty low stakes election then
Tell that to Putin.

Zelensky wants more yachts and mansions
Whats the story This channel doesnt ask for likes or subs. Is that why nobody is here? Like wtf , you have to be asked to encourage engagement?
Whats the story??, whats your point???
@@krisdockers2047 this channel consistently offers serious interesting guests but there is almost never engagement in the comments or the many views I think the videos merit. My comment about the subs and likes is that we are used to being asked to sub or like. Is that what it takes? Do people have to be reminded to like?
@@clarkpalace yes, this is one of the most sober, sensible and high quality discusdion/ interview shows there is- probably not the type of Arena for the pop culture of button pushing and comments of discent or love heart ❤️ emojis
This is investigative journalism, not a popularity contest.
@@trevinbeattie4888 also pretty sure Christiana and professional team ( who, probably have a massive audience on global cable and free to air media) dont rely on or pay much attention to TH-cam viewership.
How bloodthirsty is everyone else feeling this morning 💛🧡❤️
What a fever dream and false narrative. He talks about forcing rich Ukrainians to fight the war. They are fighting against their will!! How do people buy into this nonsense. Where is the compassion and common sense.
You have to remember Nato had said it would expand no further than Germany, a broken promise to Russia.
Russia breaks treaties whenever they choose, so your comment is hollow.
@@rossr6616One word - Lavrov.
Nuff said.
That is Russian misinformation and propaganda.
It never happened. What did happen is the signing of the NATO-RUSSIA founding act in which both parties agree that every nation is free to join whichever alliances they choose. That includes Ukraine joining NATO.
Your misinformation and propaganda supports Russias war crimes and genocide in Ukraine. Reported.
TH-cam is a disgrace. My comments get censored while the Russian propaganda that supports genocide remains.
Shame on TH-cam.
This guy talks like a warmonger, not much different than Puddin'. In his book, Hegemony or survival, Noam Chomsky tells the truth of it all.
Chomsky is so far left he cannot come to criticize Russias invasion and their war crimes.
You're badly misguided. And helping Russia.
It’s not what you say (conscience deception) it’s how you mean it (subconscious truth)
perfect law (wisdom) = perfect love (God)
Wisdom (Jesus christ) is the son of love (subconscious truth): unconditional life (Holy Spirit)
You cannot steal it by conscience living (adherence to the law apart from believing in wisdom, who is God in your heart)
You will be an eternal hypocrite (terrorist in the subconscious truth)
I.e. white washed tomb; son of the devil (conscience deception = heartless/Godless)
I'm still trying to comprehend
Enjoy the process

Slice docu yt has a doozie about ru, pvtin , trvmp
Europe needs a stern warning from the USA to step up its support of Ukraine. Trump would do that. But we need a strong strong NATO. My Canada needs a warning to! Get our military up to standard.
Be careful with what you wish for ??
The biblical prophet Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testifies: Time to learn that GOD is in total control, with our only input being our desires and beliefs. Irrational desires and beliefs build a fire that requires PAIN so that we learn not to go there. And this Country and the world has followed the anti-Christ (ego) mentality (selfishness) into insanity so deep that the destruction and pain will match it, as prophesied in the Bible's Book of Revelation. Then GOD and Truth and Sanity will be able to get everyone's attention, and the Phoenix of Truth will eventually rise from the ashes.
Nonsense. Just because you were indoctrinated from a young age to believe this BS doesn’t make it true.
@@Brent233 One should believe nothing until one has good reason to. That is the path I have followed; the path of wisdom, which is why I was agnostic most of my adult life. But I no longer have to believe, as I KNOW. You do not know, nor do I expect you to. I make statements only so that the wise will "hear me now and believe me later," as Hans and Frans used to say....
