@@antonolufayo7804 Well, it's been clear they're trying to prolong the Ukraine war as long as possible until the war itself becomes an existential threat to the stability of Russia. That's all of the left-wing of the Western countries and most of the right-wing... although for a lot of people it's just unwitting. Most people fall for propaganda immediately; their thinking doesn't go further than putting a Ukraine flag in their Twitter bio. And the easiest way in my mind to think of Putin is to relate him to Trump's big narrative, in this case: "Make Russia Great Again", except he's a lot shrewder. He certainly isn't going to stand for Russia crumbling.
if you're saying Putin is getting humiliated by Ukraine then we definitely got humiliated by Afghanistan. We couldn't get the job done in 20 years fighting guys in sandals and then left them billions in weapons while we left....
@@Avogadros_number Dude Russia has taken over 4 regions since the war started and controlled 15% until a week ago . What he said is not far from the truth ...
On 9/11 I was in high school and a classmate asked the teacher why we had been attacked. Her answer was "Because those people hate our freedom and way of life." Even as a freshman, I knew those were the words of a stupid person.
It’s crazy how much misinformation we are fed on a daily basis by our rich and empowered officials. It’s absolutely nuts and I always said since the beginning “why would they accept missles that close to them?” It made no sense. But hey, what do I know? Great interview.
We staged the coup in Ukraine the US according to Victoria nuland who was caught on a hot mic saying it cost $200 million to stage the coup in Ukraine and it wasn't going to happen the way the EU thought it was
Turns out they have been able to hit anywhere on earth with those missiles since the 80s. Nuclear Armageddon is gonna happen once those nukes start flying regardless of how close the first missile launched is. So they've decimated their already old population distribution even more for a moot point. But hey, what do I know?
missiles close to them? my guy this aint ww2 anymore what are you waffling about NATO doesn't want missiles but eastern europe does want protection against their schizo neighbour. Funny how you didn't talk about them, you know the subject matter, the actual people living in sovereign countries who have been terrorized for all of recent history by one country. One country which doesn't get to decide what eastern european countries do. But sure, believe this guy who is straight up lying about simple historical documents which are not disputed in any respected forum.
The sheer amount of propaganda aimed at Ukraine coming DIRECTLY from the Kremlin was insanity. This dude, Dave Smith, didn't mention Russia's insane attempts at taking over the culture of Ukraine nor did he mention the OVERWHELMING vote of the Ukrainian people in 1991 to separate from Russia. What a fool!
This guy is an idiot and he knows nothing about Vladimir Putin's behavioural patterns. If any peace deals were to take place, Russia would invade a couple years later - after demilitarising Ukraine - making the occupation that much easier. This was never a war for Donbas, and if you still think it was then you're misinformed. Americans miss the urgency of this kind of stand that Ukraine is making against their invaders. This interview is months old, so I'm going to give the clown in the video the benefit of the doubt, but we've learned just how irrational Putin is since the war broke out. The fact that Russia has so clearly attempted to genocide the Ukrainian peoples and we still have people like this calling for "peace" makes me lose hope. Imagine if the tables were turned. Imagine Russia was trying to take a part of the US. You wouldn't be so quick to call for peace now, would you? If you don't involve yourself in Eastern European politics and you don't have an active interest in this situation, its best you just be quiet and abstain from sharing your opinion.
I usually gloss over episodes where Joe interviews comics, but I'm so glad I took the time to listen to this. This was one of the best episodes with a comic in a long while where they discuss real world problems.
Russia could unilaterally win a nuclear war. For nearly a year now they have been manufacturing more air defense missiles than the entire world combined. Meanwhile their nuclear missile capabilities are far superior to the rest of the world. They can predictably intercept the solid fuel systems that western nukes use.
I realized he was full of shit the moment he mentioned "the simple decision to give up Donbass". I wonder what states USA would give up in the beggining of a war to stop an invasion
Now y'all know what Russia-gate was all about. Getting you ready for the big hate-fest when the war starts. Hope y'all are supporting the current thing!!
As Americans, we've allowed our government to become too big, too strong and too corrupt. It's hard for me as a 24 year Army veteran to sit back and watch our country's power and influence disrupt / create conflicts often to distract us from horrific actions conducted behind the scenes of our elected leaders! I'm terrified of the world we're leaving for our children and grandchildren...
The problem is dumb people voting other dumb people into power. The fact that Herschel Walker - who can't formulate a single sensible thought - almost got 50% of the votes says enough. You all need to take some serious lessons in critical thinking.
I'm not trying to be a dick here. I have utmost respect my man. I'm British, my point I guess, is historically if our two countries along with other allies hadn't meddled/influenced and engage in proxy wars along with other forms of warfare. The world would look very different. It's not perfect, it's far from it. But better the devil you know. If the UK hadn't meddled in Hitler's great plan in 1939 along with France and 8 British colonies and former colonies and declared war to fight against a tyrannical state, the world would have a very different power dynamic that I'm not sure would be a lot of fun to live in. When Churchill visited your congress in 1942, had the United States decided not to meddle or continue to sit neutral like so many did then let's be honest mate we wouldn't be in a position to be sharing our opinions over a Joe Rogan podcast on the interwebs. Anyway, I appreciate your service, you should hold your head up high, I think it could be so much worse.

Exactly. 👍 The people who brought you so many lies to get into wars all over the Middle East are now expecting you to belive more lies and garbage that could end all life on earth.
It's an unprovoked war. Russia must be stopped. I don't see the alternative. If Russia won't negotiate, they need to lose. Otherwise, you have another WWII Germany, just steamrolling through Europe. This is important, more important than people's pet theories on the military industrial complex. Sometimes the military is necessary, and this is a true defensive mission, a battle for the sovereignty of Eastern Europe as a whole.
Unprovoked usually means provoked in the higher realm of political figures. When they say something they usually mean the opposite. These people are souless.

he should have interrupted him and told him all of that he was saying is bs though. 1. Russia had a signed pact with Ukraine to never attack them so they gave up their nuclear arsenal to Russia. Putin also told everyone right before the invasion, that they will not invade Ukraine. So therefore any deal with Putin and Russia is worthless as they will break it. Russia will never leave Ukraine (if not forced). Every eastern country knows that. Russia cannot be threatened by NATO anyway (its a defense pact). How can you threaten a nuclear superpower? Putin only doesn't like NATO because then he could not simply attack a country without activating NATO. As long as you not invade a NATO country there will be no issues. 2. There is no signed contract that NATO will never expand east. 3. To the argument that we need to listen to Putin why he hates the west and why he is attacking Ukraine: here are a couple of fake and random reasons from Putin: - Ukraine is committing genocide against ethnic Russians - Ukraine isn't a real country - De-nazify Ukraine - NATO expansion - Ukraine may be using Nuclear weapons in the future 4.

When I was a teenager, and we went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan, I was completely against it. So were all my friends who I agreed with on almost everything politically.

No, but I can say according to Gorbachev, it was referencing not expanding to eastern Germany. In that time it makes sense too. East of Germany everything was either soviet territory or part of the Warsaw pact so there literally was nowhere for NATO to expand beyond that.
Millons of innocent people lose their lives at the eastern side of the world (with middle east and Gazza) AND millons of innocent people lose their wealth in the US just because US government chooses war and conflict instead of negotiating.

Okay, let’s go from the start. 1. The war is not on Russian border, it’s happening on the large part of Ukrainian soil. 2. Nobody told Ukraine not to negotiate. That’s a made up fact right there. All Russia wanted from the negotiations was to Ukrainian government to resign and the army to stop fighting which was unacceptable. They did not want to change their minds. 3. The only provocation on this conflict was first, the invasion of Crimea, then the Donbas region conflict that was fully made and financed by Russia. It’s nothing about NATO, Putin actually does not give a F about it. The evidence for that is Finland and Sweden joining NATO now. Russia had nothing against it. 4. The 2014 revolution was fully organised by Ukrainian people. And the West had nothing to do about it. People did not want to get closer to Russia all that Russia always wanted and was doing was to destroy Ukrainian culture. They’ve been killing us for hundreds of years and we still remember that. We wanted to join EU, something that meant a greater future for us. 5. The Poroshenko was not fully a pro west president and had nothing to do with it. Actually the majority of his business was done with Russia, but that’s a whole different story. America did not decide who and where would lead Ukraine after it. We had an honest election here. 6. Joe Biden’s son story is his own business story that had nothing to do with politics. 7. Donbas region was overtaken by Russia, then, militarised by Russia, fully financed by Russia, that had a made up referendum with no international observer during the process. Fake referendum. As the one they are doing right now again.

The previous Chancellor of Germany said if Ukraine joins NATO it's immediate war with Russia. In 2021 she left office. In 2022 Ukraine starts proceedings to join NATO and here we are. Also Russia wanted Ukraine's offshore oil rigs primary reason they took Crimea in 2015. Putin wants Ukraine's oil and doesn't want weapons there pointing at Russia. He panicked when his puppet fled the country.
Exactly sure the West and Russia have been trying to get their way in Ukraine for years. But what do the actual majority of the people want ? There can be no question what the majority of the Ukrainian people want. The Ukrainian people have demonstrated there will. The 2015 Donbass referendum was no better than the one in Crimea or the latest one. The only referendum that was legit was in 1991. That the Russians agreed with incidentally.
Because it’s not actually about that. If that was the case the billions being wasted and thrown around would be in humanitarian aid and medical supply not military aid Unfortunately the people of Ukraine are just pawns
Yeah this was a very "America centric" view of Eastern European politics. Completely ignores the historical situation of the Ukraine and Russian relations and the modern views of Ukraines. Also devoid of a realistic idea of what the donbas means for Ukraine. The power Putin has over Belarus is due to the dependance on natural resources. Cut out the Donbas and Russia can blackmail Ukraine till the ends of the earth.
Because everyone who follows the politics of this war, knows it's West vs Russia, Ukraine is the puppet to be used for the war, because NATO doesn't want to involve directly as that could mean nuclear war. Also what Ukrainians want is really confusing since part of them votted to be with russia.
The military industrial complex have totally orchestrated this war from before Ukraine was even a country and have been pushing to keep it going and escallating it every step of the way. The war was totally and completely provoked.
When you're learning that will happen until you look at opposing viewpoints eventually you'll get a feel for it, depends how quickly your mind breaks free. If you're skeptical that's already a good thing.

As Georgian, even for me its pretty hard to go back and look at it all to understand the roots of the cause as it dates way back before even WW1 (1783 for Georgia). Short version is, our countries are subdivided into provinces similar to states in USA and they have local governments, under USSR officials were put in place to govern those provinces. As anything in soviet union they were corrupt people who decided to steal and plunder, eventually turning into local war lords. It took years to get rid of them and curb corruption as they were armed better than our own military in some cases. Why did we get rid of them? well they were abducting people both local and foreign, obstructing development and keeping people poor and uneducated. Now for all those people who think USA is the bad guy scheming in the background in every conflict, you're right USA provided intelligence to help win those internal conflicts, however what you forget is that Russia never sat doing nothing. Russian military was still present in Georgia after collapse of soviet union and they refused to leave, we were ready to accommodate them even build barracks for their men and provide food and infrastructure yet they refused to sign non-aggression treaty. In 2008 they activated their military in response to us trying to prevent acts of terror in Tskhinvali region (insurgents blowing up civilian and police infrastructure killing both policemen and civilians). Now why did they ignore other conflicts prior? (exception Apkhazia) well simple, they stopped military intervention once they got within reach of gas pipeline in Georgia supplying Turkey and EU so the answer is painfully clear. Ukraine is the same, its never about those people in Luhansk and Donbas, if it was about civilians then Russia wouldn't indiscriminately bomb civilian infrastructure, in Georgia we put our military infrastructure ways away from civilians yet they still came under fire, honestly if Russia wasn't a threat we wouldn't need to join NATO so...
Which was all one country called the USSR 30 years ago. Russia didn't invade Moldova. They never left when the USSR fell. In Georgia not all wanted to seperate from Russia. South Ossetia had a UN endorsed military Pact with Russia as its peace keeper and that's why Russia got involved. With Ukraine there own president in 2014 asked Russia for military assistance. TL;DR Russia isn't the argessor you think they are.
Sounds good and all but no, they're lying to you. America didn't need to start a cue, the people didn't want to join Russia and that's why Russia had to bribe their corrupt president and thats why they're currently defending themselves against Russia and not simply joining them but of course (since Russia has nukes we must give them whatever they want, countries, your house and maybe your wife too because Putin wants to "liberate" her from you and who cares what she wants) - Putin fanboys.

This guy is an idiot and he knows nothing about Vladimir Putin's behavioural patterns. If any peace deals were to take place, Russia would invade a couple years later - after demilitarising Ukraine - making the occupation that much easier. This was never a war for Donbas, and if you still think it was then you're misinformed.
Americans miss the urgency of this kind of stand that Ukraine is making against their invaders. This interview is months old, so I'm going to give the clown in the video the benefit of the doubt, but we've learned just how irrational Putin is since the war broke out. The fact that Russia has so clearly attempted to genocide the Ukrainian peoples and we still have people like this calling for "peace" makes me lose hope.
Imagine if the tables were turned. Imagine Russia was trying to take a part of the US. You wouldn't be so quick to call for peace now, would you?

1. Russia had a signed pact with Ukraine to never attack them so they gave up their nuclear arsenal to Russia. Putin also told everyone right before the invasion, that they will not invade Ukraine. So therefore any deal with Putin and Russia is worthless as they will break it. Russia will never leave Ukraine (if not forced). Every eastern country knows that. Russia cannot be threatened by NATO anyway (its a defense pact). How can you threaten a nuclear superpower? Putin only doesn't like NATO because then he could not simply attack a country without activating NATO. As long as you not invade a NATO country there will be no issues.
2. There is no signed contract that NATO will never expand east.
3. To the argument that we need to listen to Putin why he hates the west and why he is attacking Ukraine: here are a couple of fake and random reasons from Putin:
- Ukraine is committing genocide against ethnic Russians
- Ukraine isn't a real country
- De-nazify Ukraine
- NATO expansion
- Ukraine may be using Nuclear weapons in the future
4. The referendum from 2014 was fake and everybody knows that. There was also a referendum about the annexed parts of Ukraine. everybody could witness live how they lied, threatened people and faked the whole thing.
The real reason is to expand Russia and gain more power
Imagine his next Guest is being Andrew Tate!

Unfortunately, somehow, all my friends who were so against war and warmongering as teenagers now seem really hyped to project American military power. What changed?

Okay, let’s go from the start. 1. The war is not on Russian border, it’s happening on the large part of Ukrainian soil. 2. Nobody told Ukraine not to negotiate. That’s a made up fact right there. All Russia wanted from the negotiations was to Ukrainian government to resign and the army to stop fighting which was unacceptable. They did not want to change their minds. 3. The only provocation on this conflict was first, the invasion of Crimea, then the Donbas region conflict that was fully made and financed by Russia. It’s nothing about NATO, Putin actually does not give a F about it. The evidence for that is Finland and Sweden joining NATO now. Russia had nothing against it. 4. The 2014 revolution was fully organised by Ukrainian people. And the West had nothing to do about it. People did not want to get closer to Russia all that Russia always wanted and was doing was to destroy Ukrainian culture. They’ve been killing us for hundreds of years and we still remember that. We wanted to join EU, something that meant a greater future for us. 5. The Poroshenko was not fully a pro west president and had nothing to do with it. Actually the majority of his business was done with Russia, but that’s a whole different story. America did not decide who and where would lead Ukraine after it. We had an honest election here. 6. Joe Biden’s son story is his own business story that had nothing to do with politics. 7. Donbas region was overtaken by Russia, then, militarised by Russia, fully financed by Russia, that had a made up referendum with no international observer during the process. Fake referendum. As the one they are doing right now again.

@@bradbuckinghamhandsomeprin6027 can’t take credit for a quote about 2000 years old.. Ancient Greek I think
Unless you live in Russia, in which case the truth died long long long before the war
The previous Chancellor of Germany said if Ukraine joins NATO it's immediate war with Russia. In 2021 she left office. In 2022 Ukraine starts proceedings to join NATO and here we are. Also Russia wanted Ukraine's offshore oil rigs primary reason they took Crimea in 2015. Putin wants Ukraine's oil and doesn't want weapons there pointing at Russia. He panicked when his puppet fled the country.
As A Ukrainian I like how the conversation is all about Russian and USA but Ukraine and what Ukrainians want isn’t ever taken into account
Exactly sure the West and Russia have been trying to get their way in Ukraine for years. But what do the actual majority of the people want ? There can be no question what the majority of the Ukrainian people want. The Ukrainian people have demonstrated there will. The 2015 Donbass referendum was no better than the one in Crimea or the latest one. The only referendum that was legit was in 1991. That the Russians agreed with incidentally.
Because it’s not actually about that. If that was the case the billions being wasted and thrown around would be in humanitarian aid and medical supply not military aid
Unfortunately the people of Ukraine are just pawns
Yeah this was a very "America centric" view of Eastern European politics. Completely ignores the historical situation of the Ukraine and Russian relations and the modern views of Ukraines. Also devoid of a realistic idea of what the donbas means for Ukraine. The power Putin has over Belarus is due to the dependance on natural resources. Cut out the Donbas and Russia can blackmail Ukraine till the ends of the earth.
Because everyone who follows the politics of this war, knows it's West vs Russia, Ukraine is the puppet to be used for the war, because NATO doesn't want to involve directly as that could mean nuclear war. Also what Ukrainians want is really confusing since part of them votted to be with russia.

That’s the thing that everyone doesn’t realize. The issue with Ukraine and Russia goes back years…
Sure. EVERYONE doesn't realize but you. What an arrogant and immature thing to say.
The situation goes back to Georgia, Moldova and all other coutries Russia invaded for last 30 years
As Georgian, even for me its pretty hard to go back and look at it all to understand the roots of the cause as it dates way back before even WW1 (1783 for Georgia). Short version is, our countries are subdivided into provinces similar to states in USA and they have local governments, under USSR officials were put in place to govern those provinces. As anything in soviet union they were corrupt people who decided to steal and plunder, eventually turning into local war lords. It took years to get rid of them and curb corruption as they were armed better than our own military in some cases. Why did we get rid of them? well they were abducting people both local and foreign, obstructing development and keeping people poor and uneducated. Now for all those people who think USA is the bad guy scheming in the background in every conflict, you're right USA provided intelligence to help win those internal conflicts, however what you forget is that Russia never sat doing nothing. Russian military was still present in Georgia after collapse of soviet union and they refused to leave, we were ready to accommodate them even build barracks for their men and provide food and infrastructure yet they refused to sign non-aggression treaty. In 2008 they activated their military in response to us trying to prevent acts of terror in Tskhinvali region (insurgents blowing up civilian and police infrastructure killing both policemen and civilians). Now why did they ignore other conflicts prior? (exception Apkhazia) well simple, they stopped military intervention once they got within reach of gas pipeline in Georgia supplying Turkey and EU so the answer is painfully clear. Ukraine is the same, its never about those people in Luhansk and Donbas, if it was about civilians then Russia wouldn't indiscriminately bomb civilian infrastructure, in Georgia we put our military infrastructure ways away from civilians yet they still came under fire, honestly if Russia wasn't a threat we wouldn't need to join NATO so...
no it doesn’t. There was no issue Untill 2014. Stop spreading lies
Which was all one country called the USSR 30 years ago. Russia didn't invade Moldova. They never left when the USSR fell. In Georgia not all wanted to seperate from Russia. South Ossetia had a UN endorsed military Pact with Russia as its peace keeper and that's why Russia got involved. With Ukraine there own president in 2014 asked Russia for military assistance. TL;DR Russia isn't the argessor you think they are.
This man is the first one I've heard say the truth of American policies in our countries in the Arab world and Europe
Sounds good and all but no, they're lying to you. America didn't need to start a cue, the people didn't want to join Russia and that's why Russia had to bribe their corrupt president and thats why they're currently defending themselves against Russia and not simply joining them but of course (since Russia has nukes we must give them whatever they want, countries, your house and maybe your wife too because Putin wants to "liberate" her from you and who cares what she wants) - Putin fanboys.
