So, what is wrong with the West? Asking Pres.Zelenskyy to risk his people's lives and future on the whims of politicians and if they get favorable ratings? What happened to keeping your word and deliver as promised? Courage? Morality? Decency? I just listened to Zelenskyy's interview on Sky - and they have enough men for 10 brigades, but only weapons for 2.5 brigades - you can't send men to the frontline without a weapon! Much respect to Cormac Smith !!
Captivating, wise words Jonathan. Mr. Cormac is giving us advise worth in gold for free. "Wulf already at our door" is more than metaphor. It is cold reality, all too many refuse to see or even worse, deliberately try to conceal. Again, Mr. Cormac is speaking wise, awakening words.

I am wishing I could be in Ukraine right now, but unfortunately I won't be until spring. I am in my seventies and obviously not going there to fight but to do what I can to help. Pat of this is being priced out of any places to live, part of it is to have a higher quality of life and do something constructive with other people. Yes, I am aware there are missiles, etc but the chances of being hit are less than becoming homeless. How very peculiar it's actually safer there than here. I am not alone, either. There are people who will be in Ukraine soon.
Sir at your age, shouldn’t you be going to Bali or Caribbean Islands..,? You don’t need this Ukrainian headache that has NOTHING whatsoever to do with Americans🤝. But do whatever you want sir, just know that Ukraine is a corrupt Lost Cause and they don’t need 70+ yr old people to tell them that.
@JS-ti8ny you obviously don't know any Ukranian people. They're the epitome of what a strong democracy is. Resilient, innovative. The Ukrainian economy is actually growing, what I intend to do is hear what's most needed and do whatever I can. You are entitled to your opinion, but you are short on the facts about the country.
Why is it so difficult for western leaders to explain this as clear and simple as the experts can! Why aren’t our leaders telling this to the dumb and stupid that don’t realise how dangerous Putin is !
@@cuffalobill Oh man, I feel so sorry for you, I'm assuming from your comment you are either a Trumpie or a Russian. Where is your humanity ? 44 million humans don't matter? its doesn't matter that hundreds of woman and chidden are raped, that thousands are murdered, executed, tortured, that 10,000 + children have been kidnapped and held in Russia to be brainwashed. Let alone Putin sending his people into a meat grinder! How inhumane is that monster? Putin believes Ukraine doesn't matter, he believes there is No Ukraine, they are Russian and will be assimilated, removing their history thats genoside. Ukrainians don't, and they have a history older than Russia. This is happening in Europe, it's massively naive if you think this won't affect a self interested American. Russia is partnered with N Korea, Iran and China, the new axis of evil, (used to be America's enemies, until Trump and his love for Dictators) who have one thing in common, the bringing down of America as the controlling power in the world. If Putin is handed Ukraine on a plate by his best friend Trump, then Ukraine will be slowing assimilated and then Russia will have a huge very experienced army ready to move further west and build his empire. If that happens, there will be an actual world war. Even if Trump wouldn't honour (because he has no honour, just self adulation) Europe will be at war under article 5 of NATO (the only time that has ever been activated was by America after 9/11 and NATO came it its aid and joined in the fight). If Europe is in a full war, it will massively affect the America pocket. which I guess is all you are concerned with. Europe is the US's major trading partner, so global trading will collapse. This will trigger China and America could very well find it on a war on two fronts, again. Also, for selfish reasons, be aware most of the funds set aside for Ukraine in the US, is spent in the US. Its giving old kit to Ukraine, then re building brand new updated stock for the US Forces. This increases jobs in the US and markets US weaponry for global sales. Ukraine will need to be re built, it has huge natural resources so any re build will mean contacts for American companies and employment. So , even if you don't have a heart and only see as far as your own nose, don't care about millions of people suffering and the rise of Dictatorships , then fair enough , sad for you , and you should hope you never have to face such horrors upon your family. But isolationism never works, history has proved that. You can't ring fence white township with white picket fence and not be affected by global politics and global confrontations. Peace, Slave Ukraine
Bravo! Thanks for this great interview! Ukrainian nation is resilient, hardworking and great. They deserve and they need ALL the tools they need to WIN.

If Putin is successful in setting up a puppet Gov in Georgia he can be successful in replacing the Gov. in Kyiv after carving out the 5 Oblasts in Ukraine. Creeping across the map. .....Such a lot depends on the courage and determination of the Ukrainian Forces and to not support them completely at this difficult stage of the war is very foolish indeed. Slava Ukraini
Gents... I'm with you 100% regarding financial & military aid to Ukraine. But please, don't insult those of us who chose Brexit as being Putin's fools. I'm a lawyer and was opposed to membership of the EEC / EC / EU on constitutional grounds before Putin had been heard of. Back on topic... other methods have failed, so we need to shame our 'leaders' into doing right by Ukraine.
Stop Hitler at Poland 1939 and 182,000 American soldiers didn't have to die in Europe. This is the last chance for the West to get this Russian dilemma right.
@@dirkhouben9960deary me get back to school. That was the USSR, NOT Russia. And of those 20 million, 40% were UKRANIAN. And you conveniently omitted 1939-1941, the first 2 years when Russia had agreement with the nazi's called the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact Wonder why you omitted that well known FACT

During WWII, at the vast Willow Run plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan, the Ford Motor Company performed something like a miracle 24-hours a day. The B-24 Liberator long-range bomber had 1,550,000 parts. One of these planes came off the line every 63 minutes. The United States of America launched more vessels in 1941 than Japan did over the course of the entire war. Shipyards turned out tonnage so fast that by the autumn of 1943 all Allied shipping that had been sunk since 1939 had been replaced. Today, while Russia has spent two years waging war against Ukraine, Russia has not replaced a single lost ship or jet. I don't believe even a single new Russian tank has been produced since the war began! All Russia produces is destruction, lies and propaganda. - j q t -
It could be that Trump may be figuring that, if Putin realizes he is not going to get better treatment after all from Trump than from Biden, he will then have no options but to give up his quest, and then Trump can claim credit for a successful outcome. If that happens, he may get credit that is not rightly his, but that would not be as bad as Ukraine losing.
You could put RAF, RAAF and RCAF C-17 Globemasters and Hercules (plus other European alliance partners) on a transatlantic airlift… plus European cargo ships in a concerted effort to get donated US equipment to Ukraine. Everyone needs to pitch in on the heavy lifting.
Just so we’re clear. 😊 NOT EVERY AMERICAN VOTED FOR TRUMP!! Only the gullible, ignorant and greedy. Thank you both so much for your insights and staunch support for Ukraine. Never forget the children kidnapped to russia at the beginning of this terror brought by russia. I think of them and their parents and all Ukrainians whose lives have been taken. From a dyed in the wool Democrat. Strength. Slava Ukraine, Heroyam Slava.
Oh definitely, and MI6 runs these assets at behest of CIA who control the whole world as part of a deep state cabal of Marxist globalists... something something... *checks Q Anon notes*
Confiscated shadow fleet cargo and ships is nessasary.sell the cargo,give proceeds to Ukraine,,scrap the ships,give proceeds to Ukraine or make artificial reefs out of them.
You said it Cormac, that the Russian populace does not have a track record of rising up, quite the opposite in fact; they mobilise. That is why there is incrementalism. Dial back the tone for a more balanced view on the West’s approach.
I completely think Trump's narcissism is quite underplayed in these discussions. He is Lex Luther with control of the strongest military the world has ever known. I don't think either party involved's wants or escalations have any merit in HIS deal.
Blame the Ukrainian diaspora for this slow delivery of ammunition. If they got radical, vocal and political,the politicians and media would give Ukraine more attention and assistance. I am part of the Ukrainian diaspora and our leaders are political people pleasers . They want community funding grants. The diaspora that ran away after the war have forgotten Ukraine and taken advantage of visas and humanitarian aid . I don’t see them active in Australia, I assume the situation in USA UK and Canada .
First Russia needs to get NK out of Russia, if not Ukraine can have foreign troops in Ukraine. That may make Putin sit up and listen and do this before negotiations start. Let’s see his reaction to that. It will tell a lot.
28:30 Wrong, it spends about as much as #2. Considering China's intent to go to war and the fact the intelligence community believes China's actual military budget was 711b in 2022 (According to AEI report "Keeping up with Pacing Threat: Unveiling the True Size of China's military"). China's the most consequential player in this game and instead of waiting like Deng Xiaoping argued for Xi decided to show the CCP's fangs too soon. As much as Russia is existential for Ukraine, striking the right balance between Russia and China are important. This is why I largely agree with Trump on his anti-China stance with forcing Europe to handle Europe's problems. It's mainly because there's a larger threat and the US needs that leeway. Increasing the chances of WW3 by allowing Russia and China to weaken us significantly without responding in any way will only bring us war. Arming ourselves to the bone is what we need in order to prevent this outcome. The EU deciding not to arm itself and take care of Russia is unbelievably irresponsible in the grander scheme of things, but seems fine on the smaller scale. It's the West getting outplayed, and the West finally starting to respond.
I'm willing to bet you that the negotiation will look ever so much like a surrender by the proxy, Cormac. Do you want to take me up on this? How much are you willing to punt?
At what point do we start discussing intentionality ? Three years of this horror . So what if “mistakes” are acknowledged down the road , limbs and lives won’t return . At what point is it recognized that america is detrimental to humanity ?
@@toddfulton2280american policy has long been to control the armaments industries of the west to its advantage . That , combined with the fact that america forced Ukrainian disarmament far beyond just nukes , is why america is to blame for Ukraine ‘s current tragedy .There was never a question that rusha would invade at first opportunity as it did in 2014 and after . Just because america has proven itself to be a steaming pile of $hit doesnt mean rusha isn’t worse . It just means humanity has a bigger problem than the detritus governing from moscow . I’m guess you’re a yank ; no other people have as much difficulty thinking in terms other than the crudest possible dialectic . ie america good , wee people america is bombing to smithereeens bad …
With so many intelligent guests, I'm a little embarrassed to ask. Since I know nothing about Military Budgets, I can't even imagine how many civilians and soldiers will die, or leave a leg or an arm in the mud, in addition to a few hundred thousand orphaned children. mentally scarred or blind with blocked eardrums... My common sense tells me that forcing Ukraine to remain neutral is... cheaper for everyone, or am I talking nonsense?
It is not because Russia will be rewarded for invading and annexing. It won't be cheaper to be a greater risk of low security. More defense spending will go up for europe and america if Russia wins. With nato in Ukraine, spending can be focused and simplified. Also, Russia cannot be trusted not to attack again a few years later.
It is only a crying shame that we are three years of attrition further to finally come to this conclusion. So, no, you are absolutely not talking nonsense, you are 100% right, only in March 2022 negotiators of both sides came to the same conclusion but "the Western elites" decided they wanted war...
It is a complete misunderstanding of the geopolitics to think that Western incrementalism has been about avoiding upsetting or provoking Putin. The incremental approach is the rational approach when you cannot risk destabilizing the regime. How this point is lost on all of these commentators is beyond me.

China's the most consequential player in this game and instead of waiting like Deng Xiaoping argued for Xi decided to show the CCP's fangs too soon. As much as Russia is existential for Ukraine, striking the right balance between Russia and China are important. This is why I largely agree with Trump on his anti-China stance with forcing Europe to handle Europe's problems. It's mainly because there's a larger threat and the US needs that leeway. Increasing the chances of WW3 by allowing Russia and China to weaken us significantly without responding in any way will only bring us war. Arming ourselves to the bone is what we need in order to prevent this outcome. The EU deciding not to arm itself and take care of Russia is unbelievably irresponsible in the grander scheme of things, but seems fine on the smaller scale. It's the West getting outplayed, and the West finally starting to respond.
"Russia respect and understand..."

Last thing I heard it that the majority in the senat is down to 1-2 votes
someone has obviously lost touch with reality. the average european most definitely does not spend less than 30% of the income on food!
31:20 thats the second commentator saying the West didn't want to defeat Russia.
I'm willing to bet you that the negotiation will look ever so much like a surrender by the proxy, Cormac. Do you want to take me up on this? How much are you willing to punt?
At what point do we start discussing intentionality ?
Three years of this horror . So what if “mistakes” are acknowledged down the road , limbs and lives won’t return . At what point is it recognized that america is detrimental to humanity ?
Seriously? It isn't just America that has been dragging its feet. Cowardly? Yes. Antihuman? No, that would be Russia.
@@toddfulton2280american policy has long been to control the armaments industries of the west to its advantage . That , combined with the fact that america forced Ukrainian disarmament far beyond just nukes , is why america is to blame for Ukraine ‘s current tragedy .There was never a question that rusha would invade at first opportunity as it did in 2014 and after . Just because america has proven itself to be a steaming pile of $hit doesnt mean rusha isn’t worse . It just means humanity has a bigger problem than the detritus governing from moscow .
I’m guess you’re a yank ; no other people have as much difficulty thinking in terms other than the crudest possible dialectic . ie america good , wee people america is bombing to smithereeens bad …
Forced to negotiating😂 and Britain ruel the waves
Putin will escalate before negotiations. A safe assumption considering that’s what he’s been doing for weeks now. Good you noticed though.
So what is the least best deal you talk about…what does look like in your view.?

With so many intelligent guests, I'm a little embarrassed to ask. Since I know nothing about Military Budgets, I can't even imagine how many civilians and soldiers will die, or leave a leg or an arm in the mud, in addition to a few hundred thousand orphaned children. mentally scarred or blind with blocked eardrums... My common sense tells me that forcing Ukraine to remain neutral is... cheaper for everyone, or am I talking nonsense?
It is not because Russia will be rewarded for invading and annexing. It won't be cheaper to be a greater risk of low security. More defense spending will go up for europe and america if Russia wins. With nato in Ukraine, spending can be focused and simplified. Also, Russia cannot be trusted not to attack again a few years later.
Yes . Have you not heard of rusha ?
It is only a crying shame that we are three years of attrition further to finally come to this conclusion. So, no, you are absolutely not talking nonsense, you are 100% right, only in March 2022 negotiators of both sides came to the same conclusion but "the Western elites" decided they wanted war...
I love the passion of people who want to keep fighting even when they have lost.
People who are against imperialism slavery and genocide tend to be romantic so russian imperialism is not welcome no matter what.
It is a complete misunderstanding of the geopolitics to think that Western incrementalism has been about avoiding upsetting or provoking Putin. The incremental approach is the rational approach when you cannot risk destabilizing the regime. How this point is lost on all of these commentators is beyond me.
Never overestimate commentators on channels like these, intelligence is not a requirement here...

Why does this channel only bring on guests who agree with his stance
If interested in a more balanced take I would be glad to give him some suggestions for him to invite. I suspect anybody I suggest would not fit into his hatred agenda
Pro russian views are as welcome as moustache mans politics her But there are channels where people are pro genocide and pro russian imperialism.
Pro russian imperialism is hard to sell

So Biden and the west allowing long range strikes into Russia is Putin escalating 😂😂 you clowns are hilarious
glad u find it funny ...bots always do the clown thing, nothing about this sht war seems at all funny ...idiot Putin and nasty Belousov thought attacking their neighbour was a good thing ...now everything goes to sht...especially for the russians by the look of it...
Putin involved North Korea first. Limitations on longer range missiles were lifted only AFTER that particular escalation by Putin. It was in response to that. So please have your facts correct before making ignorant comments in public next time 😊
Atacms are not, at 300 km, long range. Ukraine has been given NO long or even medium range missiles.
FSB troll blablabla
@ and yet you have zero proof of North Koreans on the front line. Talk about being ignorant. Typical puppet believe everything because CNN told you, you’re name is fitting Budgie.
