Meanwhile they’re discussing threats to Putin and the Russian economy and how much leverage the West has in negotiations. Some of that leverage wouldn’t exist had things been done more aggressively.
Trump is a horrible negotiator. Sorry to inform. Only deal he will do is one that engorges his dynasty of property. He could care less about the future of Europe or opinion of his legacy. For every negative fact his fans will have an alternative set of facts. Ukraine and Zelensky already know this. This war will go on forever with or without trumps blessing. Watch.
Great points that Timothy Snyder has also made in terms of bang for the buck. I never thought I would support the military industrial complex but we sure need a much bigger one in Europe.

He faces federal charges in a years-long exporting conspiracy. The arrests of Robertson, Buyanovsky, and a Latvian associate in March 2023 came as the U.S. increased sanctions and financial penalties on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
@@williambrown5966 True. Most european militaries are very high quality and on Nato standard, but litteraly not even 1/10th the size of ukraines and ruZZias military.

Costal defences and naval presence of NATO in Nordics can easily enforce a zero tolerance lockdown, Sweden is not to be played with in the Baltic waters.
Regarding the cable in the Baltic sea, IMO, the captain as well as the entire crew need to be arrested and sued. The company of the ship also needs to be sued and sanctioned. The entry points into the Baltic sea needs need to be controlled, any ship foreign to the sea need to be boarded and their crew, captain and company be examined.
The buttons on my shirt has more value than the Russian Ruble..I also believe that if Putin gave the order to use Nuclear weapons, his order would not be obeyed. Using these weapons would be suicide for Russia.
"A lack of long term strategic thinking". He just hit the nail on the head. This is the main problem of the West in general and also the main reason of the democratic decline. It is so sad and obvious if you see it once.
I really get the impression that things are beginning to fall apart for Russia this month. Fingers crossed these trends will continue to accelerate over the winter, and that Russians will be figuratively eating their hamsters.

I’m frustrated with people saying what politicians should have done. Time has passed on that, the question is whether they are going to do anything now. I can see a lot of the blame game in the future and very little political action to fix past inaction.
Blame the Ukrainian diaspora. They have not put much pressure on our politicians because they rely on community grants . Don’t bite the hand that feeds. Shameful behaviour
Jonathan , why does no one talk about the impact/ risk of Russia ‘winning’ / completing the take over of Ukraine and controlling UKRAINE’s wheat harvest and the consequences of using this leverage for political purposes. He did it with Gas … difference is you can just turn up alternative supplies of wheat … Is this not a big issue / risk ? RUSSIA = ~10% of global wheat exports , Ukraine ~ 5%
The cost of sending weapons to the US is practically nothing. Most of the money Comgress approves stays in the US. The weapons we send with few exceptions like Patriot are obsolete, sitting in warehouses waiting to be decommissioned. ATACMS are obsolete. The replacement models began production in January. In a war of the te Ukraine is fighting these are weapons we'd never use. A 40 mile long column of tanks and artillery is ten minutes work for a couple of squadrons if F15s deploying CBU105s. Each one destroys 40 heavy weapons and an F 15 can carry 12 or 16 of the. Each of the bomblets uses AI to find a target. If it doesn't hit anything it self disarms. The only cash we send is to run the government and everything we send is audited. The new weapons we buy for ourselves would be bought anyway.
I don’t have a problem either as long as the dollars come from the wallet and not the money printer. As long as congress not approving new money, it’s ok. They should just add a check box to your W-4 withholding. __ Veterans __ Border _✔️ Ukraine Like that.
He never said "We/I overestimated the effectiveness of sanctions, and putting myself forward as a 'voice to be listened to', I should have". Mistakes only lead to a loss of credibility when honesty/accountability regarding errors/oversights has gone missing.
I agree completely that Putin is an existential threat to the West. We are living in the modern equivalent of the 1930s and have failed to learn the lessons of appeasement, inaction, and indifference.
Putin’s a threat but not quite in the way that most people think. Russia’s basically doomed at this point. It can’t win in the long or even medium turn. Russia can do an immense amount of damage, however. It can also cause enormous immense suffering & continue to destabilize Western alliances.
@GrahamCStrouse yes it is unless you can provide a specific reason why Putin should not be regarded as a genocidal, expansionist dictator determined to establish an empire in the heart of Europe ?
I often think of what would have happened if Russia indeed took Ukraine in a week. Back then we as western European countries would have been caught with our pants down. I can imagine he would instantly go through to the baltics .
There is ignorance with respect to Russian petroleum assets. One hard freeze and gas and petroleum is off line for up to 10 years or more. Russia is out of engineering options and support.
It would be great if you‘d invite Torsten Heinrich from the channel „Military & History“ for an interview. In addition he has a German channel which is one of the most popular in the German speaking world analyzing the Ukrainian war. He is an absolutely legend!
This channel is a top tier comedy. I've seen videos like this one every late autumn/start of the winter and it's the same story every time. These people are clueless or just refusing to acknowlege that this is a normal financial cycle at the end of the year and it's been like this for a very long time.
The price of potatoes 🥔 in Russia has increased 72.7%. Onion 🧅 27.6% Cabbage 🥬 14.4% Beetroot 21.7% Lamb 🐑 25.4% Bread 12.5% 🥪 Butter 🧈 is so expensive expensive people are stealing blocks of it and it has security tags. While all this fighting is going on women are having to feed families!
It will be so much worse when the war economy ends. The wage spiral for a lack of workers has shot salaries up, temporarily good for average Russians. But suddenly they will lose this extra income and be unable to afford hard to get food.
Here’s a question that leans on an American figure of speech, which is being a Monday morning quarterback. If, say, we had an American president with enough guts who put 20,000 US troops into Ukraine say in late 2021 or early 2022, would such a move have been enough to ward Putin off from attacking Ukraine in Feb. ‘22?
Is there an option for the US and Britain, as signatories to the Budapest Memorandum, which guaranteed the protection of Ukraine in return for Ukraine relinquishing its nuclear arsenal, to help restore the Ukraine nuclear arsenal? If the nuclear option is only ever to be used by any nation as a last resort in defense of its territory, than surely Ukraine would be justified in using that option in self defense against a brutal nuclear armed invader, which is systematically destroying the whole country???
As a USA citizen I don’t mind my taxes going to help Ukraine. At the same time, I am getting tired of people complaining we are not doing enough. Time for Western Europe to step up much more.
very little of the America tax dollar goes to support Ukraine...very little of the Military budget goes to supporting Ukraine...the idea that the war in Ukraine is costing the average financially is Republican propaganda. Europe in general has actually contributed more financially than the US...but clearly American support is essential.
@ Sorry. I didn’t know the American taxpayers were not paying the billions of dollars. My mistake. If you think W. Europe is carrying their fair share then we agree to disagree. As far as Republicans propaganda, I suppose you think this administration did a great job in Afghanistan and Ukraine. BTW, that evil Republican Obama was in office when Russia took Crimea. He did nothing. Nice try tho.
An old lady fell as she got off a bus. The passengers clambered to the windows to see her bleed. The driver and I were the only one to get off to help her. It's like our governments today.
Just think if the West had been more active in this war way back when Putin took over the Crimea. If the West had strengthened the Ukraine's "hand" and given it the tools to stabilize and strengthen its border with Russia, then perhaps we wouldn't be having to consider any scenario where Russia destabilizes the Ukraine to the point of taking over the country and thereby increasing all of that military industrial complex sector that both countries presently have. The two combined bring to mind some very frightening possibilities.
I think Obama gave too much credit to leaders like Putin being reasonable and intellectual in their approach to issues - he thought he could maybe ‘disarm ‘ them via respect and intellect. He should have been made more aware of how Russian leaders think and act. No soft approach was going to work.
Everyone seems to be forgetting that Ukraine has a say in these negotiations. Zelenskyy isn’t just going to rubber-stamp an unfavorable deal between Trump & Putin.
I suppose I will be accused of being an orc, but the “death of Russia” to paraphrase Mark Twain, has been greatly exaggerated. I hope Putin goes and more importantly the Russian troops recalled from Ukraine.
It's part wishful thinking part reasonable foresight. Russias economy IS absolutely in free Fall by any metric the global capitalist use, that isn't reported by Russia. The other metrics, Like GDP(PPP) that is based on information from the Russian government publications, Russia is the fourth biggest economy in the world and growing.

While loosing infrastructure related to its biggest export material as well.
