becouse youre capitol near russia border, and russai fighting last 10 years and they have bigger human resours much bigger, and if they winn Ukraine this resourse will be much higher, and their will have couple of millions people with military new war experience
Romanian here, and I agree 99.99% with this. Although here we don't have Vanya, we had the black ambulance stuff 😂 where people are doing illegal organ things. But we have stories that are the same with everyone else's
There is more culture in my morning cup of yogurt than there is in muSScovy. I regard "ruSSian culture" as an oxymoron, just like "ruSSian intelligence".
Thankfully, the vast majority of people who watched President Zelensky’s interview with Alex Fridman saw exactly how naive Fridman was being. Zelensky came across extremely well whilst Fridman showed himself up badly. In fact, a number of potential subscribers to Fridman’s channel were lost in the process. Fridman left himself down very badly indeed. 😮
I remember my father saying that half of Europe is missing, hidden behind the iron curtain. My idea of Eastern Europe was Poland, Czechoslovakia , Hungary, Yugoslavia, Austria but never Moscow - Moscow was somehow different - conjuring up images of Mongolians with submachine guns ?? Slava Ukraini
I’m flattered that Oleksii gave us (Finland) 10 days-that’s generous compared to the 3 days Western analysts gave Ukraine. But, much like those analysts, Oleksii would end up eating his words. Anyone familiar with the Finnish military, our geography, and our level of preparedness wouldn’t be surprised. Unlike Ukraine in 2022, we have a well-trained, well-equipped military that’s ready to go from day one, including a 900,000-strong reserve. On top of that, we embrace the concept of total defense, involving every aspect of society, with over 80% of the population prepared to defend the country. Russians are fools if they cross our borders and dead soon after. We're not afraid. We've done our homework. Besides, the war game that came up with the 10-day timeline wasn’t even about Finland-it was focused on the Baltics, with the Suwalki Gap as the main target, if I’m remembering correctly. Other than that, great interview. Slava Ukraini!
He should focus on "media" and "politics", there is no way in hell Russia can take Finland, they have tried when Finland was less prepared and equipped without a lot of allies and that ended bad for Russia. Norway and Sweden would be in Finland assisting them in 24 hours. This guy os delusional.
100 % agree with you. Europe does not understand the danger russia is for all of us. Eastern europeans warned the rest of Europe for the danger russia posse for decades. It's a tragedy that now ukrainian die because of this misunderstanding of russian methods. We here in romania will be forevever in your debt for your sacrifice. Thank you!
I would not discount everything Russian, they did make great contributions to Western civilization. They were dragged into the Western world kicking and screaming by their czars and their education leading to these contributions was entirely European. Where did Dostoevsky and Tchaikovsky spend their time: in Germany. The very concept of writing books and composing symphonies is European. Russians are more like us than their Mongol overlords or China or Mesoamerica. Their penchant for gratuitous violence, sado-masochism on the other hand is very un-European. Not that Europe lacked brutality, but it evolved and the probability to run into someone that enjoy torturing because they like to see the victims suffer is much higher in Russia than anywhere else in Europe. The Nazis had to set up the concentration camps because the average soldiers got sick killing Jews, so they reduced the number of actual perpetrator of violence to a tiny portion of the German population (the SS camp guards). For Russia to receive a peace agreement it needs to give up its gains from this war and the one in 2014. You are very correct that this war is a global war, and the west refuses to accept it is in the face of overwhelming evidence. Who in his right mind would deny that Russia’s best friend is North Korea and more importantly wants to live at the North Korean conditions.
Canadian here. I've never bought into the"great Russian culture" myth and I feel so badly for Ukraine. You've been treated do shabbily by the Western countries. I feel that the myth of Russian culture is mainly an excuse and the bigger reasons that Ukraine had not been given the support it deserves are fear and greed. Fear because the West bows to Putin's nuclear blackmail and greed because of the many ways that Russian money has corrupted western politics and businesses, It's tragic that the US has elected Trump because he's not that different from Putin. Historically, the US has dominated Canada culturally and economically and now Trump is trying to crush Canada in much the same way Putin's Russia is trying to crush Ukraine. Smaller pets need to unite for their freedom and sovereignty,
@gorishokgo5825 There's not much difference between living in China vs living in Russia right now other than China is much more modern. And under Trump, the US will become more like both of them. Americans have maybe 1 or 2 more elections to save what's left of their crumbling democracy. There are a lot of smart, fair progressive people in the US but 95% of them are too close and can't see what's coming. And if the US becomes like Russia and China m them we're all fucked anyway.
Tucker Carlson is a human cartoon character. Fox News even stated in court that this was not a person who should be taken seriously, rather as entertainment only 😊
Please explain to me what makes Lex Fridman far right. I have no idea of his political leanings on the right-left scale. Please be precise with your words.
Friedman is not a child, he is a paid Moscow mouthpiece he knows exactly what he is doing and knows a lot about the situation in Ukraine but of course he wont show it to you in his channel. the guy is a fraud, and he does not want to offend his FSB paymasters.
3:50 in some otherwise good historical programs, especially British about WW2 there are only Russians on Eastern front, which annoys me. Of course everybody is allowed to make sometimes shortcuts, but these "experts" in 2 hours never even said "Red Army" or "Soviet Union" which is simply shocking for educational program
Look, I don't think Fridman's necessarily ignorant of the truth. Maybe he's willfully ignorant. I've been referring to him as a propagandist, but maybe he's not even that. Maybe he's ideological. Maybe he's chosen to place some kind of unshakable faith in the current Russian government. I personally consider Russia to be a fascinating country. I have since I was in elementary school, and I'm fifty-two now. I also happen to be an American. I deeply regret not having had the vision, when I was of traditional college age, necessary to have studied the Russian language, become fluent in it, and to have spent time in the country. I do feel that the only responsible way, to look at Russia, is to look at it objectively, and to see it for it's negative contributions to the world, as well as it's positive contributions. We have to see the good, and the bad. And, right now, the Putin Regime's actions, in Ukraine, are downright evil. There are no legitimate excuses for what's going on, and people have to stop making, or entertaining, excuses for what's going on.
Thank you for a great interview! SLAVA UKRAINI!🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Why do people continue to underestimate the Finns? Finland did keep their guard up even after the Cold war ended. Not like rest of Europe.
I wonder that too. They have a standing, functional military that’s trained to fight on its terrain.
becouse youre capitol near russia border, and russai fighting last 10 years and they have bigger human resours much bigger, and if they winn Ukraine this resourse will be much higher, and their will have couple of millions people with military new war experience
Because actually Finns lost half of their country in that war.

I'm not Finnish but there is no way in hell that Russia takes Finland in 10 days or at all for that matter.
Russia have eaten better part of Finland eighty years ago. It is fed up with Finnish territories for now.
You can feel save for decades ahead.

When some Russians say: "We are the Europeans", I always respond: "What was then the reason for Peter the Great to cut the window into Europe?"

@@AndyWoohoo666He did not estimate by himself. He said that this was estimated in some "war game" (?). Do not be strict to him.
Umm the 10 days he quoted were from 'War Games' the Finnish did themselves lol. Check your facts
@@dundun8640 If you’re referring to the war game reported by The Guardian (in 2023), no Finns or even Russia experts were involved.

When you "lol" like a professor just add the link to your claim.
Thanks for this interesting conversation! I hope many more will watch it and share it.
The Russian strategy for 300 years has been to occupy the East Bank of the Vistula and the Danube
Topic: "What does (Putinist) Russia really want?" was also quite well addressed on Sunday 12th on "Inside Russia".
100 % agree with you. Europe does not understand the danger russia is for all of us. Eastern europeans warned the rest of Europe for the danger russia posse for decades.
