@robertroot3790 Nobody had a strategy in the Western world, the Brits following the US direction, the EU following an unelected president commissioner called Ursula VonderLeyen, NATO following the US lead. It amonts to brainless gaming that killed 1/2 a million Ukrainians, destroyed their country, caused 2 million refugees and left Ukraine without a young generation. And the cynics want even more money to be invested because they can't afford to lose face and admit reality. Keep listening to Vlad, it will serve you well.
@stephie52 That immediately proves how absurd your thinking is. You want him to interview somebody who thinks like you. You do love your bubble where everybody thinks the same. Very comfortable giving you the feedback you expect. Why don't you have the courage to listen to somebody who does not think like you and then judge if you are right or wrong.?
@@guydreamr 25:27 "I treat experts as sacred." Unless they're John Mearsheimer, Douglas MacGregor, Scott Ritter, or any other expert who says things I don't like...
America has become something I don’t recognize anymore as a democracy. If we continue down this road. I’m losing hope in people’s ability to discern truth from fiction and outright lies. We seem to following in Russias footsteps not Europes. And that is giving Putin and fascism so much oxygen it’s frightening.
Thank you both for your integrity and sustained efforts! I hope we all think more about what we can further do to help Ukraine, its region and the international “order” in which such an extreme, agonizing war has happened.
Vlad is doing a great service to philosophy. And illuminating the places where we can go to look for the insights we need to begin formulating the questions we need to ask.
One of my notions is that social media has no sense of proportion. It appears to be a conversation but that's an illusion of virtual reality. There is none of the concrete reality of conversation, the body language, nuance of expression, smell or taste. It's a pitfall of our social being that we can be blind to the difference.
Have you ever read a book? Where is the "concrete reality" by which I assume you mean the senzorial aspect of conversation if you were reading this? You're asking for senzorial from an audio video environment? Were you high when you wrote this comment?
It’s quite remarkable actually when (if you have seen it) Twitter hawkish personalities end up having an in person debate on TH-cam or by live stream - it’s almost like they exist in a different parallel universe because as you say the way that exchange goes is usually far far less aggressive, and far more charitable and productive.
@@larsvaahlmar1784I mean your comment/reply is sort of a good example of what he is talking about isn’t it - if we were in person in real life you probably wouldn’t talk like that to someone making a quite unobjectionable, general observation about social media , or question if they are intoxicated by drugs.
Yes everyone that has opinion of their own is on drugs. I agree though the guy is reading script and talking circles n saying nothing. IMO poutine is ded they just delaying their collapse
@@euromoneysOf course, you lack the intellectual rigour to comprehend the deep thoughts and advanced discourse displayed by Vlad. They’re leagues above you! SMH. 🤦🏼♂️
I really love the first 15 minutes so far!!! Really loved the critique and acknowledgement. Very grown up and very very refreshing. I am so proud of you both so much.
Afraid you are right, their culture does not allow them to not conquer. Any change is internal with external guidance and will take 3-4 generations to purge out the old and to just begin with the new. Wait or immediately decimate empires like Romans, Hannibal, Golden Hordes etc. but they just didn't change actively, the people who were in charge died off and new people effected change. Just ask history. The not so good empires were replaced and new bad start ups also faces the same thing, ask that guy Adolph.
I agree partly. Only force makes sense in a mind like that. Crimea must be retaken and defended. That will shake up the gameboard (so to say). It will balance the weight of concerns on both sides (east/west). When that balance is achieved maybe discussions can occure (balance of concerns may, in that context, be aquated with balance of power (like the cold war))
@americanidle76 And meantime what should be done with the Southern border. I know; you are one of those Americans who are more interested in Ukraine than in the USA.
This is a magnificent, real conversation and exploration of the most foundational issues facing the world today. I would like to think about this more deeply and respond right now, but it is 2:00 am and my 76 y.o. Brain is exhausted, so I will return in the morning. On another note, all of my 5 or so favorite analysts of the Ukrainian crisis, and the world’s response, are becoming noticeably more sophisticated, knowledgeable and seasoned in their presentation of the issues, events, and policies they are engaged with daily. I will return to this tomorrow. But my thanks to both of you.
Thank you Jonathan! Another great interview! This is my 1st. time hearing Vlad 's take on where things stand. I look forward to hearing more thoughts from him on this subject.
❤Thank you, both! I enjoyed your conversation & insights very much. I am listening to this 9 months after your talk which makes it even more interesting.
Cold War barracks mentality in Russia never ended. That was clear to me back in the 1990s but we loved the collective high (and naive peace dividend) from believing so. Soviet legacy was never crushed and judged like the Third Reich. And since the Russians acquired nukes (unlike Nazi Germany) it was always impossible to dismantle the Soviet mindset. Strange how the end of the USSR and emergence of Russia has brought the world closer to nuclear disaster than ever before.
You are very correct. I spent time in Russia then, and the mentality is deeply rooted. Nothing in reality had changed. The exact same ship, with a new mafia captain
Indeed. The journeys Germany and Japan have made since 1945 are what one would like to see in Russia. There are (at least) two conditions that need to exist for this to be possible. 1. Defeat of the Russian state. 2. Disciplin and a sense of loyalty to the collective among the population. Even if Russia was to be totally defeated, I doubt the culture posesses the determination to adhere to a political vision of democracy and equal opportunities.
I made a few business trips to Russia in the late 90s and was rather alarmed at the inhumane nature of their society and their utterly absurd rewriting of the WW2.
@@Epaminondas371 Their "great patriotic war", starting by raping Finland and splitting up Poland between themselves and Nazi Germany. Only to see Hitler stab them in the back and launch a full scale invasion. The "Russians" of Ukraine being the ones to take the major hit, right after Stalin had his way with them in the 30's. Nice people the Russians, not! (Although, admittedly, Stalin was from Georgia.)
Sweet!! My two favorite content creators in a thoughtful exchange if ideas. Something I value in a video is leaving it with something to think about. This video was a banquet of food for thought. Thank you so much!
Thank you Jonathan and Vlad soo much! 🌞💙 It’s refreshing to see an alliance of many pro-Ukrainian voices on social media! How can you use this collective power to puncture the main stream media bubble?!?
Except when criticizing a public figure, who's personality exists, and is expressed, within the public realm. And in that vein, TH-cam personalities, particularly those with subscriber bases and viewer bases in the 10's of thousands, hundred's of thousands and/or million's, certainly are public figures/public personalities, even if within only a certain bubble. And Vlad did that in the most well meant, and most polite, not to mention sincere and effective, manner imaginable. As well, it was delivered KNOWING the recipient would be receptive of, and acknowledge such criticism. As Johnathan was, and did.
It’s funny but until now, I completely forgot why I unsubscribed from Vlad’s channel and his lovely community. And it may be hard to put it in words, but first 13 minutes of conversation reminded me why …I don’t understand his prolonged thinking, his whole persona is indigestible to me. So all in all, I am listening to „silicon curtain” nearly every single day, but today I need to make an exception. Great channel, great guests ( mostly), thank you
It just occurred to me that Vlad's constant going on about how he fears democracy decline in the west actually is a russian propaganda talking point of sorts. He sneakily sows the distrust he fears. Maybe we should check up on his sponsors?
I would like to invite you to invest a little effort to get past Vlad's persona (which I fully understand can get on people's nerves) to his messages. They are an extremely important contribution. Like in this very case, where Jonathan's rightful anger at the Russian aggression led him to lose his cool and make divisive comments within the realm of democratic debate.
Fully agree. If I had a friend or colleague who waited until the tape started recording to dedicate 15 minutes for a drawn out critique of me for two tweets I made I would not be impressed. Strange individual. My respect for Jonathan went up a tonne though as he dealt with it very well and with humility.
Vlad walks his viewers through his process of thinking in a prolonged way because his aim as a political philosopher is to encourage people to deeply reflect on and improve their ways of thinking about a given situation, rather than his primary aim being to persuade us to adopt a certain opinion. He also has pretty severe ME which means he's often slower at articulating what he's trying to say than he otherwise would be. If you are able to adjust to the slower pace he has the most thought provoking content I've seen on TH-cam by miles!
@@horrisnorris6478 To be honest I don't think he even talks at a slow pace, he just speaks normally, like a normal person would in a normal conversation at the dinner table, in a lecture or down the pub. I can only think perhaps that complaints stem merely from the fact that he *isn't* following that hyperactive, TH-cam-y, never-stopping-to-take-a-breath-or-wonder-what-the-point-was style that seems overly prevalent on this and similar online platforms. (And yes, I'm fully aware that makes me sound like a moany old man. But it's also a real phenomenon!) It's like the number of people who I've seen online (in all sorts of different places and contexts, so it's not unique to any specific community) who say they play online videos at faster speed as a matter of course through the video settings: I don't understand it. I generally don't hold much truck with vague complaints of youngsters these days having short attention spans/not reading books anymore/playing too many video games/all of that sort of stuff. But the video speed impatience is a concrete thing, and it's genuinely baffling!
Great discussion, and I want to point out that both of you gave each other a lot of space to give long, detailed answers without interrupting each other. So many interviews get derailed because otherwise interesting people don't have self-control.
USA´s greed to bring it´s weapons near to Russia via new NATO members is the real root to this war. BTW, who wants to be helping to a country(Ukraine) which kept killing civilians(russian language speakers) since 2014 ? It is like someone would start helping to a person who started with killing people.......( Russia is helping to civilians in Donbas since those civilians were killed by thousands since 2014) What is the point in this video? It is empty talking only....
Fantastic interview. Thank you for sharing. This is the insight that more in the west, particularly our leaders, need to be hearing. Some of them lack any sense of realpolitik.
@@SiliconCurtain Still laughing over how Putin fcked himself with that comment about Poland allegedly starting WW2 by not being nice enough to Hitler. Set off alarm bells all over Europe, encouraged his US lackey to say he'd let Russia take NATO territories that don't pay their dues. They could not have done a better job of dipping themselves in sht.

We must stand up to him. No appeasement. He can only be stopped by force.

Very useful discussion. Thanks
I always feel that personal criticism (even well meant and politely delivered) is best served in private.
Visceral conversation around trust and audience capture in our informational environment is not personal criticism. It is vital public discourse.
Except when criticizing a public figure, who's personality exists, and is expressed, within the public realm. And in that vein, TH-cam personalities, particularly those with subscriber bases and viewer bases in the 10's of thousands, hundred's of thousands and/or million's, certainly are public figures/public personalities, even if within only a certain bubble. And Vlad did that in the most well meant, and most polite, not to mention sincere and effective, manner imaginable. As well, it was delivered KNOWING the recipient would be receptive of, and acknowledge such criticism. As Johnathan was, and did.
Both parties offered a masterclass of criticism, well served, and well received, publicly.
