Reality is irrational only the the indoctrinated, dumbo.
The Ukraine War has depleted the American arsenal , there's not many MANPADS and drones left in inventory. Taiwan is ripe for the taking....
This presentation is probably the most frightening and complete realistic analysis deconstructing the reasoning behind Putin's thinking I have heard to date.
Why?
Putin's logic is pretty basic, he doesn't want Perishing missiles 4 minutes flight time from Moscow in Ukraine. Think Cuban missile crisis in reverse....Pooty isn't giving up!
He is inside Putin head he can read Putin' mind. He must be CIA MI6 agent.
I live in uk for 31 years I still not able to know what is inside Boris Liz truss the queen's mind.
Two idiots, CIA AGENTS
@@StompingRabbits Baloney! What about the Iskanders in Kalinigrad? There are no nuclear-tipped US missiles in the former Soviet bloc countries, yet Russia has this dagger aimed at the heart of Europe.
@@StompingRabbits what's stopping NATO putting missiles in Lithuania if they want to hit Moscow (there is only 100km difference) which is nothing at mark 2.5.
Or in Estonia or Latvia.
The Nuclear threat propaganda is just pure putin fiction.
Many won't take seriously the main point made by Dr. Felshtynski. I don't want to do it either. Problem is he was warning about upcoming, aggressive Russian conquest for at least 15 years now.
lol
and their were people warning the West that if they keep expanding and meddling in politics it would antagonize the Russias and Chinas of the world...
Doesn't mean he was wrong haha, it's finally happening. It's same as people warning China was quickly building an army 20 years ago, now just wait til they flick a switch, and move much more of their massive manufacturing might from goods (junk) to armaments and become the 'god of armaments' (more than both US and USSR)
Being late is not the same as being wrong.
world needs to see this interview ... ! Wooooow! so true was said.
Rubbish. A load of toss.

yuri felshtinsky is one of those who should appear on all the televisions and all media in our time.
I read the review of Yuri's book on the oxford student site. Thanks for this important interview.
I loved his facetious comment that Russia "needs more territory." They are already the largest country in the world in terms of land mass and most of it is undeveloped and unused. We in the West need to say this more.
Plus the diminishing population, we must remember. More and more land for the less and less people.
Most of it is underdeveloped and unused because it isn't hospitable to human life. But that's no excuse to try and annex someone else's country. They have more than enough land for their disappearing population.
Not really. Eastern Russia is a desert and 60% of their North is in permafrost. Only about 20% of Russia has the right climate.
The people living there are Russians, they speak Russian and they have been abused and want to be with Russia....
@@StompingRabbits Let them move, then. And let's go ask the grocery store clerks snatched off the street at gunpoint, and sent to the front in tennis shoes, armed with a WW2 bolt-action, how in love they are with Russian governance.
And while we're at it, how does Russia treat seperatists who no longer want Kremlin rule? What did Russia do to the Chechens? Why was that okay, but this not?
I can’t stop listing to this over and over again
Dementia ?
What a great interviewer and interviewee.
Agreed
To be fair, before WW1 and 2 started people thought they were unlikely too.
By comparison, what's happening now is obvious - Russia has being signalling this development for 25 years. Everything we need to know about it is just 'hiding in plain sight'.
Yes indeed, history is chock full of wars nobody expected to happen.
Everyone in the West thought WW1 was the war the end all wars. They couldn’t believe the war had already started until it was too late. Same here… we remember WW1 starting in the 30s. The scary thing is though that the rise in globalization & nukes raises a much bigger threat to humanity than ever before.
They didn't though
True talk sir , life is cheap in Russia.
And that's what makes Russia so dangerous.. a country with nothing to lose but the highest number of nuclear weapons..
Cheaper than Iraqi lives?
Human life is cheap, unfortunately, everywhere. İts just at some places they make u think its worth more.
Talk is cheap in Ukraine
I tell my friends we maybe witnessing the beginning of WWIII, they only laugh at me. When I tell how I think WWIII will start they laugh at me. Yes, Russia, Ukraine now China and Taiwan is in conflict with each other and we are living under red alert each day, I believe if India and England starts to exercise then we should be worried. We can now try to prevent WWIII.
Also Croatia,Serbia and Bosnia are starting te beef
@@matijastanic8810 I also heard France is stealing oil from India.
Your right
Unfortunately, WW3 will happen, the worst period of human history is ahead of us
The War will start soon they are just preparing
His theory of having nukes fired from Belarus seems pretty logical if Russia has predetermined they're going to use them.
I thought this, they could use Belarus or some bogus state as a sacrificial lamb to launch a nukes from.
Nukes are useless against military. They can only be used against civilian cities. So ... they would not change much of a result of a war when all sides have them. Japan didn't had the capacity in WW2, so that is why it worked back than
@@Gwaredd86 Okay, quite an acceptable idea from their point of view, not much sillier than the rest of it. XD
Russia will anyway deny it was the one who used nukes - unless they will start to lose so bad their doctrine of "existential risk" can be said become actual.
My guess is if russia uses tactical nukes in Ukraine they claim it was a US (or Nato) false flag attack
@@bekanav Something tells me they could do that, but it just seems really hard to pull off. Unless they have ones small enough to smuggle in. Sure hope not.
I didn’t believe this might escalate that far but I’m starting to believe it. Especially if he annex’s Kherson and then uses a nuke in some kind of fake homeland defense I could see it happening
Well, that has sure put a downer on my day!
This is one of the most excellent interviews I've seen yet on the Ukraine situation.
Indeed.
I also recommend any of Peter Zeihan's presentations. Look for the 50+ minute length presentations. He called this back in 2014.
The very best and most accurate analysis has been by The Duran (TH-cam, Rumble.)
Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris accurately predicted the trajectory of this military operation back in March, as well as the utter failure the US/EU sanctions would be. They provide the most intelligent, informed, and thoughtful geopolitical discussion of current events with incredible historical context.
@@kimberleystewart8457 Did they diagnose the FSB failures that informed the poor military plan and performance? Just asking.
@@chrishooge3442 “FSB failures”??
Very interesting analysis for me who has lived in Russia for 7 years.
I also lived there for 4 years. Moscow and Peter and nice, the rest is far less developed than Balkans after 2 wars and zero natural resources. How Russia still exists is a paradox for me. Poor, uneducated, underdeveloped, 3rd world healthcare, hundreds of Ferrari's in Moscow but 20% of population has no indoor plumbing..
Russia, no natural resources? Simply not the case, natural gas and oil in abundance along with gold, platinum, rare Earth minerals, lumber, fertilizer, food, steel, tin... Russia has a load of natural resource....
@@StompingRabbits re read. The Balkan have no resources yet are more developed than Russia.
It it obvious that Russia has a lot of natural resources. Well known. That was not an important point of interview. It dealt with that power balance in Russia. I suggest to read Billingtons axes and. Icon as a reference to 1000 year of Russian government and reference to interview
What a great and truthful analysis. While everyone else is trying to dance around the inevitable, this guys tells it like it is. I know its a hard thing to hear but facts are facts!
World war 3 is here the American petro dollar is no more it started in 2014 ! Scary times
Putting nuclear weapons in Belarus is a red herring. Russia already has them in Kaliningrad and they can reach anywhere from Russia anyway.
Not if they are destroyed in a first strike which is ultimately NATO's goal for Ukraine, to make Ukraine a projection point into Russia....
This guy talks a lot of sense. I hope he's wrong but the west should stand up and listen when this man speaks.
Nuclear Missiles can be launched from Russia anyway, so why should they be moved to Belarus first?
th-cam.com/video/Kyznp8qUEkg/w-d-xo.html
@@zenokarlsbach4292 it's all about speed
Right, the side that strikes first wins....
@@StompingRabbits that’s untrue . Nobody wins because as soon as the first launch is detected off goes everyone else’s ….
The most complete and logical explanation I've heard concerning the current situation.
This one is pretty good too: th-cam.com/video/tt-SgfaTX4o/w-d-xo.html
27:08 Ukraine and Russia so called "shared history" is only shared in a sense of the constant occupation that Ukraine lived in.
I survived Cold War, love parade, Amsterdam. 9/11, Lehman, Euro Crisis, refugee crisis and Corona.
Seen enough for a life.
Surviving nuclear war is a whole different thing. Billions of people will die. Pray this never happens.
Dr Yuri should write for the NYT or ADL.
One of the best testimonies in The Telegraph.
Yuri is great! But some of the interviewers questions are just ridiculous. Calling Yuri's observations 'too simplistic'!? I would normally say dont waste your time with this video except Yuri is a good source of info. So now i say...this is a great segment inspite of the guy interviewing him.
I thought the interviewer's questions were valid. Plus he let Felshtinsky talk at length without making it about himself. I think I don't generally agree with him (the interviewer) from other videos, but his question actually let Felshtinsky support his views in detail.
A transcript would be good
It’s quite easy to understand
Fantastic interview. The perspectives are scary.
At 38:00 , what the West is doing to avoid war with Russia is eye-opening.
@@LarryArrow
There's another one (and others) towards the end.
@@narkelnaru2710 They are trying to break the country up like they did with Yugoslavia. Ukraine will end up as 2 states .... Poland and Hungary are eager to annex in the West of the country. Ukraine will finish up the size of Lichtenstein.
Eye-opening! Civil war ended centuries-long global Slavery.
- WWII ended centuries-long global Colonialism.
- WWIII ends centuries-long global Colonization, from North/South America to Australia/New Zealand to Siberia/Far-East Asia.

we are not in 1937. Germany was actually a competent country with competent industry and competent army. Russia is a rotten empire in terminal stages of its decline and collapse, it has inferior technology, inferior army, inferior economy.
Russia have gaz, oil, gold, rare material, hypersonic missiles and everything everybodies need to have their economy working correctly.

Blowing up Russia
Mr. Presenter: Ukraine was an independent country even before 1991. It was a free state in 1918, until the Communist Bolsheviks invaded. In addition, Ukraine was struggling for its freedom for hundreds of years prior.
The Holodomor, can't leave that out or the Bolsheviks who created it....
Lolzlolzlolzl.......... wishful thinking. Question... what would a pole with "ukrainian" citizenship say where he's a citizen of ?.
As the first all the countries started from the Kievan Rus. The city Kiev was the beginning of Ukraine, Russian and other nations. Then hundreds of years later, Russia came into being as a breakaway territory from Kievan Rus.
Ukraine was truly terrible. Literally one of the most corrupt countries in the world and just as shady, authoritarian and unpleasant to live in as Russia. It even had nuclear weapons of its own until 2001.
There were early signs of improvement in recent years, but that's surely on ice now.
@@yolandacarrillo3681 Russia was not a breakaway territory, the duchy of Moscow started to gain prominence over the other territories in a quite natural way as it happened in Spain and most European countries
This guest knows what he's talking about! This is what I've thought all along.
I fail to see how Russia could even dream of occupying deep into Europe, given that it's population is only around 144 million.
easy..one at a time🧐
They're just not good enough or large enough, simple as that. The more they occupy the more overstretched they get. They'd get blown away facing a modern military.
Excellent guest. Everybody in the Central and Eastern Europe with brains understand this. The naivete in the countries west of us of is just staggering. We had our experience with Soviet occupation, never again, never. The reporter is horrible. Parroting Russian propaganda. Really poor journalism.
I agree about the naivete of much of western Europe, and I would say much of the US, especially the right. They are cynical, or compare this war to Iraq, blame it on Biden, or simply repeat Russian propaganda. There is some of this on the left as well. I recall hearing French intellectual Bernard Henri Levy say more or less that Macron did not understand Putin or know anything about him. I wonder how widely his observation applies. I find it breathtaking.
@Diossvk. I agree with the general naivete, it's predictably wishy washy, and absolutely terrifying at this point in Kremlin progress.
There's no time for wishy washy anymore.
But, I offer a different view of the reporters' questioning, because I was put off at first too, but I think the intent was to make the interview as 'propaganda proof' as possible by asking clarification in the very areas that propagandists will try to attack Yuri's analysis.
I've been reading the typical trolling comments, and it's obvious they've not had the 'hooks' needed to really bring out their standard reaction seeking points.
@@50milliondownthedraintonym16 Ridiculous comment. The Central European countries are every bit as "civilised" as the British. The immigrants to the UK after 2003 were probably much better educated than the British working class with whom they competed for jobs.
It's not due to naivety of Westerners, it's because the Western News Media is constantly lying about Ukraine.

@Hannibal Sulla no he is not, he is a russian historian and knows what he says , he is not they only historian that says what he says, most agree with him. All Who know russia well understand this
@Hannibal Sulla said the repeat reaction seeking commentator. ....🧐
I don't believe him..... Putin never demonstrated any intentions of heading into Western Europe or even Western Ukraine..... He only seems interested in Eastern & Southern Ukraine and he is getting it....
Surrender or complete destruction and annihilation. Ghengis Khan would be proud.
There are a lot of references he could have called on to illustrate the ideological underpinnings for his concerns - concerns that are perfectly warranted. I also felt he struggled to construct a plausible mechanism for engineering a show-down with NATO, and he didn't seem to have any thoughts about how Russia could realistically plot a course to a win beyond just threatening nuclear war. So I'd call it all a bit short on imagination. Personally, I believe that Putin does have a goal here and a viable path to achieving it. I also strongly suspect that the clever people at NATO have an idea of what's necessary to counter, along with being cognizant of what an immensely difficult challenge it will be. Has WW3 actually begun? That depends entirely on Putin - events to date say both no and yes, and Putin's Brain is the final arbiter of which answer is the reality we are now living.
“Has WW3 actually begun.” I would more say it depends on how the West reacts to Russia’s 🇷🇺 military operation, especially in how it now being described as a war of attrition and the negative consequences it is having on Western governments and society.
@@josb6141 It's also a bit of an unique Historic moment for Russia. She has a window of opportunity that has never been hers before and it's a case of 'use it or lose it'. She has a significant strand in her geo-political ideology from over the last 25 years that provides the rationale for hitting the West now (or now-abouts). She has being making what, from without, look like the right sort of developments over the last decade in her military capacity. She has created the right sort of crisis in the right place to set the wheels turning. If this attack on Ukraine is 'for Russia', purely about Ukraine, then how the West behaves in response is significant from an escalation perspective. If it's about more than Ukraine, then what the West does or doesn't do is immaterial - we'll be getting whatever Putin has in mind and we need to be considering the possibility (not the liklihood) of a bona fide existential threat and preparing accordingly. We don't and can't know the true Russian intent, so the magnitude of the worst-case scenario gives the West no choice but to do whatever is necessary, even if those steps appear to antagonize Russia further. We are, 100%, in a very dark place. It's a Catch-22..
Wait until Winter time and 1\3rd of Western Europe is without heat. I'm thinking Germany will be the first to jump ship and crawl back to Russia for gas and oil.

A third world war? With Russia? Is there some other, more professional, competently led, modernly equipped Russian army we don't know about? One that isn't tied to railroads for logistics? Or a daily diminishing number of military trucks to carry those supplies from the railheads to the units at the front?
Because this current Russian army is struggling to supply its troops mere dozens of miles from its own territory.
And it is clear to anyone that the old WW2 and Cold War era model of deep armored thrusts and encirclement battles is over. The Donbas operation was clearly meant to be a pincer movement to entrap and destroy a large part of Ukraine's best units. Instead, Russia gives the impression of an exhausted marathon runner just barely able to heave itself over the finish line.
your right, but if china and iran decide to jump in, we gotta fight them on multiple fronts, also we can"'t win a war against Russia cause they are one of the rare countrys who will actually use nukes if it doesnt go their way
About a Russian army that is so lazy and inept that rely only on artillery to obliterate to dust a city and later to claim that they have taken it over. Russian is the biggest joke ever. Thanks to putin we know how worthless the Russian army is😂🤑
@@krokodilpil8335 Does a country with 6000 nuclear warheads really fear invasion by a conventional foreign army?
I'm thinking...no.
This isn't about Russian fear. This is about Russian pride. Russia wants to be a player again. But with this shambolic military, I don't see how that is possible.
Putin cannot use tactical nukes in Ukraine without the fallout polluting Russia! It's just not possible given the fact the prevailing winds blow from West to East in Europe. If Putin uses any nuclear weapon the fallout lands in Russia, China, Korea & Japan...... Not going to happen unless it's WW3.

According to the latest survey, 27% of Ukrainian citizens use the Russian language in their everyday communication; the Ukrainian language is preferred by 51% of Ukrainians and 21% are bilingual. On April 25 2019, the Verkhovna Rada passed the law 'on ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as a state language'.
The law establishes mandatory use of the Ukrainian language in most areas of public and communal life, including the mass media, education, science, etc.
However, the law does not forbid the use of Russian, or other languages, in private communication and religious ceremonies. Moreover, Russian and other languages can be present in book publishing, the press, including radio and television, education and the service sector.
The law also allows the use of other languages in the healthcare system and law enforcement. In addition to this, the law stipulates that in accordance with the European Charter for Regional Languages and Languages of National Minorities, the government should develop a law safeguarding language-rights of the minorities within six months of the language law entering into force."

China, Iran, Syria, Russia Vs The West
I love it when historians confuse their knowledge with an ability to predict the future.
This is different in so many ways to 1939; not least because both sides, Russia and the West have roughly equivalent nuclear arsenals.
The reality is that Putin has been probing and testing the attitude of the West over the past 20 years, and saw that there was an opportunity for Russia to assert itself again, thinking that Nato has lost its power (see the Trump-induced ruckus inside Nato as one example).
BUT, Nato hasn't simply stood for this - (after all, we have adopted the role of the USSR in Vietnam, and more) - and if this historian thinks Putin hasn't been told DIRECTLY that any step onto Nato territory would result in war, and therefore nuclear war, he is surely mistaken.
I agree that Russia has been moving towards a pure fascist state, though.
It's very early days to draw that conclusion. Wait for the Autumn / Winter when Russia have Germany over a barrel. If Germany buckles then Eastern Europe is lost.
Very few countries not moving to fascism.US Canada UK AUS NZ leading the way.
The world is headed towards an economic depression which will be one thing held in common with WW2. They will be and have already been, warring over monetary supremacy.

"Nice country. Would be a shame if it was invaded."
Nothing is lost in peace. But losing to war is everything...
I hope Putin says this...
The interviewer parroted Russian propaganda… this is not a defensive war by Russia this is Russian aggression and fascism.
Fascism was resurrected at euromaidan coup in 2014. Since then Ukraine wanted to become culturally and ethnically pure. 800.000 people from eastern Ukraine in 2014 fled to Russia, look up even BBC reported that.
Fascism is rule by corporation with ngo running the place. The fascist are in Ukraine.
@@108Marycelestial Yes it is the Russian army and especially the WAGNER group.
Indeed, Putin and his banda are fascists in all respects except by name. They’ve changed the constitution to lead in perpetuity all while poisoning/murdering political opponents and dissenters. They imprison people for expressing their opinions and only allow for state-media. Added to that, they’ve doubled down on the propaganda apparatus, creating a tremendous nationalistic fervor. Putin even has “Putinjugends” going on - NASHI ironically being the name of one of these youth groups.
I think fascism started world wide when USA invaded Afghanistan, and it continued on till this day when they are actively pushing Russia into WW3.
He is right,
Bring it on.
Thanks for the content 🙏🏻. I do think it's less likely after the course this conflict has taken, that Putin would pursue other theaters like Poland or Romania.
Maybe if he had pulled off a blitzkrieg like he expected early on, but he's lost so much capital, and is still in the thick of it, yet.
True. Poland and Romania don't have Donbas and Sea of Azov sitting on 6 trillion cubic metres of gas.
He won’t . He can’t even take Ukraine ffs all this he won’t stop at Ukraine is just propaganda
Edginton seems too intelligent and talented to work for the British tabloid press...

Meanwhile, though, he does provide some “eye candy” for viewers of The Telegraph’s video clips.
Far from it. This has been a rare exception in which he has actually done very well in interviewing an expert.
Most of his interviews don't dig deep or reveal complexities.
This is rare indeed and he has done very well.

A great thinker.
Many people have already resigned to this possibility!
Very sadly, I've been saying very similar things about Putin, for approx 15 or so years. The man is a genius (borderline madman) - this is very dangerous set of personality traits. If I'm correct, Hitler too had these traits.
For far too many years, the West and America placated Putin. If he thinks he's invincible, it's because we allowed it.
The mothers of the "motherland" must stand up.
An American saying that foreign governments are monsters 🤡
Thanks for ypur completely unfounded phsycological analysis on a KGB agent galaxybrain.
If Putler is such a genius why did he launch this catastrophic war? It will only end badly for him as well as the rest of us.
A former KGB agent, that organization along with the Soviet Union are defunct and have been for decades. Contemporary Russia is not communist moreover it's a Christian nation. These brother wars need to stop! Peace with Russia is ultimately in better interests of the West. Tis pitiful some won't let it happen.
And Lavrov said Hitler had Jewish blood.
He forgets Napoleon’s invasion in 1812.
Napoleon didn't go out of his way to attack merchants so he's cool with Napoleon's ghost. 😃😛😯
The irony. We're preventing several regions from breaking away from Ukraine, and aiding Taiwan from breaking away from China. Guess what really matters is not the wishes of the inhabitants, but that it frustrates our adversaries.
What a Blander of history!
in the east of Ukraine, the people speaks russian in the cities. But in the villigies people speaks ukranian. Speak russia do not means to be russian. As irish are not english.
MOSTLY MIXED
Irish and Anglo Saxons are two different races, that's not the case between Russians and Ukrainians, they are racially identical.
I fowt the Irish was same as English. I heard der is a plaice called southern eire.
This guy forgot that Russia started ll war
But his compatriot Viktor Suvorov reminds of this obvious, but not very widely accepted fact:
"Chief Culprit: Stalin'S Grand Design to Start World War II".
18 months down the track, still no WW111. Any update ?
Unfortunately Its not a new vision.
Agree
If Putin's overarching goal is to topple the West by starving Africa thereby creating a mass migration crisis, then he really is playing chess.
No, that isn't chess. That is common sense. Putin's overarching goal IS to topple the West. The starving of Africa isn't the way he is planning on toppling the West. His use of food is his effort to increase instability in Western Europe. The primary front in his campaign against the West is on social media. Russia has been using social media for YEARS to divide the West. Take the US and the Black Lives Matter protests. Russia would post on social media using "leftist" language to organize a protest at a certain location, say the intersection of 1st and Main. At the same time, Russia posts on social media using Conservative talking points to organize a protest for Blue Lives Matter at the same time and same location as the Black Lives Matter protest they ALSO organized. They then sit back and let us kill each other. Russia was the major driving force of the Brexit Movement. January 6th was the crowning achievement of Russia. Russia DID interfere in the US elections that led to Trump's becoming President. The Democrats in the US then did them the biggest favor ever by fixating on it as the reason Hillary Clinton lost. They impeached Trump claiming he colluded directly with Russia to win. That didn't happen though. Russia interfered because they thought Trump was easily manipulated and they knew Hillary was one of the most unpopular candidates to gain the nomination in history.
@Uriah Lathrop Or any independent institutions to protect the rights of the citizens. No free speech or press, no independent judiciary, no separate law-making branch of government, no right to be innocent until proven guilty. I'll trade some wokeness not to live in totalitarian police state where my life is controlled by the government. So did our forefathers.
@sam sam True. We created Khomani for one.
But Africa support Putin. Why would he do that?
Russia and Ukraine both agreed to allow grain to be exported so Africans will be fed. The problem is going to be heating Western Europe without cheap Russian gas & oil.
It is disturbing to note that a critical discussion of a possible nuclear holocaust, the host mispronounces it as NUKYULAR.
That nucular refers to the dice they use before the red button is pushed. Than we can hope "it won't work and nothing happens". XD
Maybe if they can't pronounce it - they figure out how to use it...

funny
Correcting historical mistakes. That is huge.
Would Putin advise the Russian population of a Nuclear weapon launch so that their citizens could prepare for a retaliatory Nuclear strike from the west?
Would it be advantageous to publicly ask that question in order to test Russian civilian support? No answer from Putin would potentially translate to a "NO". The question of Russian citizen support was not discussed and particularly regards invasions beyond Ukraine. I think there is a good reason why Putin has not called for mass mobilisation. Most of what was discussed was based on history in particular Russian and Hitler, times have changed. The interviewer should have asked Dr Yuri Felshtinsky questions based on contemporary positions and assumptions.
Cracks are appearing in both Russian support for this war and in ground force competence so far. Those of fighting age are the cause of the biggest cracks. These 2 issues alone introduce significant weaknesses in the grand plan, not to mention increasing financial pressures and the opposition forces economic and military power.
I am sure Russians may shoot above their pay grade but I am sure they would consider now, as an inappropriate time for stupidity. To go from Georgia/Ukraine as opposition to NATO is a leap into the abyss.
It is my impression the West is issuing weapons to Ukraine commiserate with Russia depleting its weapons stocks.
Polish-soviet war, the objetivd of marxism was always to enslave the world, pure evil
Russia is number 2 arms supplier to the world. The west donated 250k artillery rounds to Ukraine. Russia uses between 500k-600k artillery shells daily. Much os western media spouts propaganda for western public consumption.
Unfortunately, the supply of materiel from the West is not commensurate with what Ukraine needs to defeat Russia.
It will be,
@@awuma Thanks for picking me up on commensurate. I do think the slow supply is intentional that is 1.Not is upset Putin so US/NATO don't get dragged in and 2.Attempt to exhaust Putins weapons cache, at the expense of Ukrainians, as sanctions and declining Russian revenues for energy progressively bite. I think the West aims at Cold War 2.0 to slow Russian aggression for a similar period as 1.0.
The west has been training Ukrainian servicemen for say 8 years at great expense, and assume would have taken stock of their armaments. I would believe they would have known the shortfall in weapons Ukraine would need to beat Russia way before the war started.
Well done to the interviewer for calling out at least some of this guy's Russophobic nonsense and strawmen. Not that or stopped him mind
Russophobic. Now THAT is fcking rich, guy.
It is rather obvious he has a visceral hatred of Russians and it's obvious where he's coming from.
There is some truth in his words, but also misconception about world warfare today.
Hmmm , got me thinking someone should right a book called “ blowing up my rubber dingy “ .

Russia has plans beyond Ukraine. Moldova, Georgia, and possibly Belarus for dessert once Lukashenko has outlived his usefulness.
If Russia were to _completely_ flip out and decide to invade somewhere significant and well respected such as Poland, then that's it. We'd be living through a real life version of the Terminator 3 outro with nukes flying everywhere.
The Belarus argument holds little water, since Russia already has Kaliningrad where it has all sorts of missiles based. However, while the nuclear ultimatum is very real, a limited nuclear war is not necessarily Armageddon. Putin's bluff must be called, and if necessary, a limited nuclear war fought, particularly when the prevailing winds are usually blowing toward the East. NATO's strategy always was that any attack from the Soviet Union would be met with a nuclear rebuff, allowing NATO to spend much less on conventional forces than the Soviet Union. This may no longer be the case, but is the West now decidedly superior than Russia in conventional warfare, especially in the long run?
How does 2 nuclear armed nations, fight a limited nuclear war if one is losing? I keep hearing that and it makes no sense, I guess ppl haven't thought it all the way through
@@yvesdi Exactly 😂
@@yvesdi Yves and Sea: I live 200 km from the Ukrainian and Belarussian borders, 250 km or so from Kaliningrad. A comprehensive defeat of Russia is needed to keep the world safe, just as Germany and Japan were defeated, and re-educated by the US after WWII. The pathologies infecting Russia and China will bring about their fall and breakup, making the 21st century the true Euro-American Century. America has its own serious pathologies, but unlike its adversaries, it has the structure allowing it to cure itself... maybe.
Before the nuclear age it would have been sufficiently frightening. In the current age it is absolutely terrifying.
If we do not stop Putin NOW, we learned nothing from WWII.
Weather we like this dire situation or not the answer would be in my opinion: Yes, I think we nearing WW3.
whether is correct weather is climate related
Yes, at war. Klaus Schwab versus the rest of us.
Selenzky should have si and negotiate and respect the minks agreements rather than killing its own people.
Actually the Interviewer still do not understand the crisis of the conflict inside both countries and also the economic depression that have cause the Russians political leadership in the last 350 years. I believe the Interviewer needs more help in understand global toxic conflicts sponsor by the Soviets and now by the last 22 years Russian regimes…..
I take issue with the idea that the Russian army is well trained , considering how many of the combat troops are either on contract or conscripts . To compare them to the SS is misguided and in not a very good comparison . Historically Russia has always used 'bluderbuss' tatics and to my mind this has always indicated a lack of training and incompetance. When comparing Russia to the rest of 1st world , they have always seemed to 'run' as second level country , with importing / stealing hi tech equiptment and 'pretending ' to function like Europe / USA/ Canada/ Japan et all in a social society and crucially wanting to be accepted by the world as a real 'Superpower' ...With a population of only 147 million living In a country that is so vast , they have always had an issue with control / management of said country . Russia is not wealthy compared to the EU/ USA and pre invasion was rated as only being 10th richest in the world . To manage / control an invaded country could be far too costly and time consuming . This war is costing Russia $300, 000, 000 per day / every day. They are fast becoming isolated, with only a few countries offering support . I don't think Russia wants to control the world , that could be 'China's' mandate but certainly not Russia. This current situation could be about not being recognised as a comparable 'superpower ' especially with the USA -This is the bully treading carefully within the confines of taking back something that was lost and also something they feel the rest of the world will not physically get involved in . Putler is playing a game of poker with the EU and the rest of the world ...Sometimes viewing a situation from a distance can give a better overview during the process. I am old enough to have lived through the cold war / Cuban missile crisis and subsequent division of Europe . I also lived in West Germany during the 1970's and served as a 'civilian' in the UK armed forces. I had unlimited entry and exit into the East and visited several times . There was always an uneasy calm and an acceptance of the situation . After watching this whole interview and taking all points as being valid and informed - I conclude that DR Felishstinksy has good many ideas and some are very valid but could be somewhat 'entrenched ' and too absorbed in his studies . There are so many 'Experts' right now expressing their own agenda's / view / studies ... and all seem to be very different in outcome !- Best to read as much as is possible about the historical / current situation and then make up your own mind . As a footnote Russia has always been weaker without controlling Ukraine . Ukraine is possibly the most important country of the two and Putler is well aware of this . Bully's need to control , without that contol they are very weak and like the bully at school they are fundementally inadequate and very lonley isolated individuals who are aways seeking some sort of attention because of their lowered self esteem - NB when I left Germany in 1978 I then spent the rest of career working in Psychiatry ( 31) years I'm certainly no expert and am still learning about the conflict of the human psychi. To finalise 'Putler' is in every way a true Psychopath, he ticks all the boxes we should consider this in every communcation . The rules as we percieve them do not apply to him , this could be a fundemental flaw in our understanding of the 'why' and 'what ..! Our inbuilt sence of right and wrong are , not very helpful when discusssing these matters , somehow we have to comprehend the way 'he' functions and base our assessents on that process ( somehow) !- 'Every KIng Must Fall ' historically that has always the case and this war will end -one day ...!
Its essentially a resource grab (a la Germany/Japan 1939). Donbas has oil gas reserves comparable to North Sea.
To put the grab beyond contest he also seeks to destroy Ukraine as a political entity
Even though the orcs are bumbling eejits (digging trenches in radioactive soil f ex., clear Darwin Award there), they still cause a lot of damage.

So fighting back against them is essential.
He's definitely playing his hand.. he spent a week or so in a bunker at the beginning of the war because he wasn't sure how far NATO was going to go with their response. I think it's a lot of bluff

51.00 doubt very much that ordinary Russians care whether they are part of an Empire or not. Most people just want to be able to live, to have a family, to have opportunities to develop their talants, to learn & grow. Just to have a fulfilling life.
What happened in Germany and Japan? The havoc those countries caused was very much with the support of their populations. The reconstruction and re-education of those countries by America after WWII created more or less model peaceable democracies, but this did not happen in Stalinist Russia. The same process is probably needed to reform Russia and make it a non-dangerous player, but how to comprehensively defeat such a major nuclear power presents quite the puzzle.
Reeducation has turned Germany into a Islamic Hell hole but the good news is without heating gas and oil there might be civil unrest in Germany.
