- “It’s clear Russia is totally dependent now on China. So in the end, this is not really a winning strategy from Putin.”
Chatham House’s Timothy Ash says China is ‘exploiting’ Putin’s weakness from the war in Ukraine.

Remember when the Nazis and Russia were friends, that turned sour.
Both were invaders and acted like gangsters. China is more like a racketeer. Instead of military invasion, Beijing could simply blackmail Moscow due to economic sanctions.
Remember when the USA armed Sadam Hussein to the teeth to fight Iran
both were funded to create the war in Europe, North Africa and Asia..
And when did this happen? Stop spreading lies.

Israel is fighting for us Hamas is coming after us. Then Biden makes up all these excuses takes billions more from taxpayers that we don't even have to build these buildings for the supplies that Palestinians need. So Hamas took all the supplies and sold them their billions of dollars richer thanks Biden you've made the cartel richer you've made everyone Richard especially yourself
How about that? Russia in debt to North Korea. Where do you go from there?
What will north corea do if Russia doesn't pay back ?
Putin wasn't "dragged in" to the Ukraine war.
CORRECT--BUT, THE WEST GAVE HIM THE EXCUSE, BY CREEPING SLOWLY TOWARDS RUSSIAN BORDER'S. BREAKING THE REAGAN . GORBACHEV AGREEMENT.
Yea he was
Putin took the appeasement after the initial invasion of 2014 as invitation to take some more.
@@paulurban2472 You are talking as if Putin have no power over his own actions or do you think someone else then Putin is in charge of Russia?
@@paulurban2472 hardly. He could stop this war in 5 minutes anytime over the last 2.5 years. But oh no - he thinks Ukraine is Russian.....
China knows that once Putin is dependent on foreign assistance and if he loses that’s the time China would likely take advantage of the situation
In June 2014 after the Invasion of Crimea the Russian Ruble was 33 Rubles to 1 US Dollar ... Today the Russian Ruble is 91 Rubles to 1 US Dollar Looks like Something Collapsed but it was Not the US Dollar 😀😀 The Russian RUBLE has Collapsed Against All Major Currencies ...

what was the ruble in 2021?
Just before the invasion I spoke to my friend who is a military strategist in the Finnish army. He just said Ukraine now has a lot of western weapons and it won’t be easy for Russia.
and now the USA’s people are against war - biden will lose to trump, the russians have better manpower & artillery than the ukrainians… so perhaps your finnish friend was wrong 🤔
China might think that invading Russia is a good option…?
Indeed, but possibly China can attain their objectives without invading.
It's already taken a little bit. A strategic island in a river way over in the east.
Why wouldn't they do that? They only care about Asian looking people (Han) apparently.
There are so many sick folks the MI6 has bred in the UK for their disinformation
China will take over eastern Russia with same tactics as they do in Tibet.
Silent masses crosses the borders. New "voters" for Chinese citizenship.
3 points. 1 Putin was not dragged into this war, he chose it. 2. Whilst Putin might want to negotiate, it will only be a stalling tactic to allow time to re-build his military and 3. Don't ever underestimate his willingness to use WMD, Putin cares for no one other than himself and if he sees all is lost for him he will take as many people with him as he can.
Correct
Incorrect 😂
Please stop drinking the kool aid. too much already !!!
I would say that as long he brings them up we are safe. When Russia stop speaking of them we know something is up.
Total ignorance on display here.
How come everyone but Putin could see this coming?
The arrogance of an extreme narcissist knows no bounds. The irony is he has created a whole government based on people telling him what he wants to hear. They are all simply too scared or have too much to lose to do anything other than that. This has led to Putin believing his own BS and having it constantly reinforced by all those around him. His illness will eventually be his downfall.
Putin is in a bubble, completely surrounded by his yes-man. He doesn't like to hear bad, objective news or opinions. Typical gambler, losing wealth hoping for a big win in a casino.
Because it all just made-up nonsense?
Because he is taking advice from the man in mirror.
Because it isn't?

Chinese dictator must be now calculating if it makes any sense to pursue Taiwan. Frankly, it does not make any sense, in addition that it would be wrong on so many levels.
China is using our dopamine against us, the molecule of more, they are using the internet to saturate division in the West. Crimea was not Russias target, it’s was Chinas, look at what happens to Crimea when water levels rise just a couple of meters around it, strategic terrain, win without fighting, China will probably buy Crimea off Russia it will be an island fortress and port, future proofing.
Swapped equal trade with Europe for being a schmuck for Xi .

Belgium delayed the invasion in WWi... even though they fell, that delay was critical. I fear Ukraine will be remembered the same way.
Ukraine is not just delaying Russia, they completly stoped Russia and we barrely send any help to Ukraine.
In 1944 around 4000 planes were used in France, we haven't even sent yet the few dozens that we promised to Ukraine.

You know, I really find these videos informative, but I hate the “teaser” at the beginning. Put that in a short or something, but let me get to that part of the video on my own. It’s annoying to have to skip ahead to the question being asked first so I can get context.

Kate, your guest is brilliant!
TIMES RADIO - PLEASE - if you are going to post partial interviews, please pin the full interview as a link
Agreed
Russia is losing not because of its technology but despite of it. Don't believe me look how long Ukraine was able to hold out with mainly dated Soviet tanks and Jets.
Russia still relies on old Soviet doctrine. Ukraine has been adapting tactics even with old equipment.
With a name like Wierdo you ain't giving me any confidence 😕
@@robbiekop7 Ignore the name, his point is factually correct.
Russia would lose against NATO, not just because of the tech superiority, but the total loss of mass. They've burned through their total reserves, bringing out huge amounts of cold war assets.
Do you really think NATO would risk nuclear annihilation just for the sake of silly old Ukraine?
@@dalecrocker3213 It's not a question of what it would be over, it's a question of whether Russia will be considered a threat in future, which it won't on any serious level.
I think you’re just coping to make yourself feel good. Your post is not based in reality
@@LudvigIndestrucable Has it crossed your mind that Russia doesn't WANT to be considered a threat? Maybe it just doesn't want to be hassled by greedy Westerners - but is prepared to stick up for itself when pushed too far?
@@dalecrocker3213no but if Putin wants to remake the Russian empire or USSR that includes the Baltic’s who are NATO members
Why take Taiwan when taking Siberia would be way easier and has all the resources Xi needs. China has immense local influence along the Russia-China border and into Yakutsk where there very few people but huge amounts of minerals.
China would still be under threat of nuclear response from Russia, just like the west is now. That's a pretty powerful disincentive.
Putin should have known not to show his hand to those 2 cut throats…
Peer wars are extremely difficult to fight compared to a western country fighting tribesman. We haven't really seen peer wars since WW2 and we know how that turned out. Russia is learning that a determined educated country isn't going to easily fold. Xi should take note and also remember that Taiwan has a moat around it.
That moat can keep our equipment out too...Taiwan needs to raise its military budget to 10% of GDP immediately. All drones and asymmetric munitions, they also need to produce a domestic fighter platform, and need hundreds of them. We will not be able to get a fraction of equipment there that we did in Ukraine.
But it is very, very small.
@@zipperpillow So was Pearl Harbor.

thank you good work
Putin got dragged into a war????
Yes!
@@JairoSouzajcdecade The evil west is to blame or what ?
@julie804.
By his sycophantic subordinates.
Quite simply Putin wanted a huge win grabbing Ukraine in a quick action. His subordinates weren’t brave enough to tell him what he needed to hear, they just told him he wanted to hear. So, he made this big ego boosting grab based on faulty intelligence. In no way was he prepared for a long war. His biggest mistake was completely misreading how Europe would do without his gas AND come together to supply Ukraine with superior weapons. The main result is the world now sees the full result of Russian endemic corruption, poor leadership and the poor quality of weapons.
He had little choice. It was either that of face total humiliation and the loss of billions of dollars a year in income.
A sea invasion of Taiwan would be MUCH more difficult than the land invastion of Ukraine. If you want to understand this better, please read Winston Churchill's excellent tome entitled "The History of the Second World War". He describes clearly why the allies waited and prepared so long for D-day, much to the chagrin of Stalin, but ultimately with success.
Churchill was a dunce.
@@zipperpillow Wow, are you Chinese? Actually, Churchill was a genius. Please read his book, which I mentioned above, before you form an opinion. Also, please look at what he said about China.

Actually, Russia does NOT have a 'huge' population. It is way down (9th) on the list of national populations, squeezed between Bangladesh and Mexico. Furthermore, Russia has a range of ethnic and religious groups all pulling in different directions and also has an ageing population and a very thin population distribution in many parts of the country, especially Siberia and the East. Frankly, the last thing Russia needs is a megalomaniac like Putin trying to run Russia like Stalin ran the Soviet Union. One can only hope that there are enough sane heads in the Russian military to avoid an horrendous large scale war when the inevitable collapse occurs.
russian collapse is certainly not inevitable… ukrainian collapse is inevitable
Thank you for a very balanced appraisal of the Russian future. It was at this point, Putin realized he had f&&ked up
putin can’t f*ck this one up … he brought russia back from the dead - their economy is booming. russia can’t lose …
War covers up a magnitude of sins.

Which UK politicians have said that Putin is a genius?
putin joined the KGB when he was 16 ! he is a genius. zelensky is a comedian with zero experience in military strategy 🤔
@@davereynolds3403 Putin is a genius, Zelenskyy is a comedian and you are a fool.
Farage has said he 'admires' Putin. As has Alex Salmond. George Galloway said he 'trusts him more than Keir Starmer'. All of them have taken Russian money too. Julian Malins, a Reform UK candidate said 'He's a very popular Russian president - as such, he's a good Russian president'. Useful idiots, one and all. The 'Putin is a genius' line though came from the most useful idiot of all, Donald Trump. Not a UK politician, but a US one, so considerably more dangerous. Also on the payroll.
Nigel Farage. He previously praised Putin similar to Donald Trump in US.
Putin has two daughters....Both are scientists ....just saying 🙌
And still, PRC mouthpieces thump their chests, and claim the PLAN can successfully engage the USN.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's very bad situation for our respectable friend Russia.
That's what I thought back in February 2022: a perfect way for China to drive Russia's price down before they buy.
What’s the difference between a google censor and a Russian bot? No it’s not a joke. Asking for a friend whose anti Putin comments are being removed.
Just a reminder:
> Putin's Russia has a 2,615.5 mile (4,209.3 kilometer), shared border with China.
Another bitterly cold winter.....and i wonder what state Russia will be in?
Russia did grab 18% of Ukraine, they didn't win, lost assets they CAN afford (because NATO will never attack them); the Ukrainians did the fighting, the West however failed to mobilize their power, has NO strategy and this is costing Ukraine a lot of civilians and military casualties (totally unneccessary if the West had send enough anti air/missile systems and had put no limits on their usage).
That hurts.
ru "technology"...
1) Remind me again WHERE is the "Silicon Valley" of ru? Ohh you mean these 2 buildings in St-Pet? And the 3 in moskow?
2) Remind me again the amount of Fresh Capital ru has created in that "ru Silicon Valley" over the last 2 or 3 Decades? Yes, quasi none from the inside.
3) ru technology on the battlefield in the last 30 years? I mean ru "proper Engineers" (still) in ru the last 30-years?
Well you get the idea...
I think you are a little mistaken, there are dozens of large manufacturers and developers of microelectronics in the Russian Federation, including their own microprocessors (Elbrus, Baikal, Elvis), there are large manufacturers of SSD memory, many companies produce components. We also have our own production of thermal imager matrices, electron optical converters, satellite equipment, and our own latest generation lithographic machines. The Soviet Union was the leader of computing technology in the 60s, unique ternary computers were created, Soviet developments formed the basis of the pentium processor. It is always worth pointing out that technologies are not only microelectronics, Russia is the leader of nuclear energy, the production and development of unique alloys, jet engines, the production of ultrahigh-temperature superconductors, space technologies (Almost all of Elon Musk's developments are purchased developments of the USSR and Russia).

China is just very observant and they play a careful game while still testing boundaries I don’t believe after watching the war in Ukraine that they will Test anything regarding NATO … Until forced too they will than try to Overkill .. but will definitely be sadly mistaken
I think China should occupy all the eastern half of Russia. I would be interested to hear Putin's view of that possibility !
You say don't get involved in a war you can't win that is exactly what Germany did in 1939 Russia and china are allies and always will be

From a narrative point of view that would be a similar mistake as the Trump/Biden debate that was supposed to give Biden the *advantages*
Ukraine was instrumental in stopping/preventing WW III.
More dependent than they like but not Totally. India's huge purchases of Discounted Oil is a big help too. Natural Gas is still going to Europe, (through the Ukraine no less). Iran is also doing what it can. Stories of their imminent collapse are huge exaggerations. Saying "Putin got dragged into the War" is as an erroneous a statement as you are going to hear anywhere.

@6:40 He keeps saying"we", but that's a weird American accent.
Are your attention yet proceed Russia again tryout English accent turn Russian 😅
I believe Putin will go the same way as Mussolini.
Russian bear has got thinner. Now needs food from China.
It's an understandable analogy with Russia Ukraine to China Taiwan, but territorial area for defenders to move back into, and to extend the offensive logistics, with clear lines of supply from allies, are totally different. If China go, as a nuclear power, will US knock down their planes and ships? And even if they wanted to I'd guess China will build up more and more until they're sure they can do it quick, so there'd be no point.
China helping Ruzza via N. Koria. We have been played but this is just talking point for the west.
I suggest a bi-lateral agreement between China and Japan. China will support Japan's rightful claim to the four small islands north of Hokkaido, and Japan will support China's rightful claim to northern Manchuria, including Vladavastok.
China and Japan have too much friction to form an alliance. Both are arguing over territory.
What, murderous psychopaths are using each other….?!
Chinese military technology was taught to Chinese student engineers at American Ivy League Colleges who's institutional constitutions are built around D.E.I. (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). These Chinese nationals pay HUGE tuitions as foreign nationals. During Trumps (Im NOT a Trump fan) meteoric Presidency, he attempted to stop Yale, Columbia, Harvard, and the rest from teaching our adversaries how to destroy America but failed because the money from tuitions were just too good. And the academic suicide continues as I write this... Plus there are a few Chinese convicted spies recently with more to come...
You spend your time sowing seeds of discord among people that are neighbors, friends and families. Then for those that are in mutually beneficial relationships, you generate and orchestrate narrative of heavily tilted benefit. These two are evil. Give yourself to building, not destroying
What would Putin want? I think Putin is gaining time, expecting changes in foreign politics to help him. What did Trump say about China? What did Trump say about Putin? An easy way to help Putin would be to focus all attention on China.
This so called 'Ambassador' to China needs, perhaps, to talk less (without evidence/experience) and 'listen' more to what is happening globally. IMEO.
Yep you’re right.
Is that what happened to the ex Chinese ambassador to the US, who's gone missing since October? How are his listening skills, have they improved?

Imagine one guy deciding that half a million people get to die because he has an agenda to take another country. AND, a lot of them still support him.

I think the jury is still out
They know they can't take Taiwan but a weakened Russia would fall easy
But Russia has nukes. They could play scorched earth
Chinese invasion would be pooping where it is eating. Russia is dependent on China for money and goods to circumvent sanctions. Beijing could get more from Moscow by using economic blackmail instead of military force.

No surprise!
The China guy has in mind to subjugate Putin and Russia, but Putin seems, " all but gone " Vladimir gonner " . . .
Russia has a debt to GDP ratio of 20%, resource economy, gold reserves. Putting the Rouble on a gold standard is the nuclear financial option. Better than nuclear war. America has to sell new debt to pay off old debt, default looming.
Russia on the gold standard would have to stop the war, no path forward, no money printing. Do it, rooskies, go on the gold standard.
Because the US controls the dollar a US 'default' is impossible.
A poor nation with little debt and is a resource economy.
