Ukraine has been attacking civilian targets in the Donbass and Belgorod and Crimea. More than 14000 civilian lives were lost. Yet, the host brings up an allege russian missile over two children.
Any person can choose their side as far as how they wish the world order to look like. But only an ignorant person, or one who can’t make the simplest deductions, can blame Russia for all the criminally stupid NATO expansion and general provocations made towards them since 1991. If you want democracy and freedom then start by stopping the lies, regaining the integrity of the media, and fixing your own autocratic governments before you even dare to judge or condemn others.
I have no tolerance for people make stupid comments like Russia should never have invaded or started the war. It shows an alarming ignorance and prejudice.

Do you take Bellingcat at their word even when they admit that they tampered with the photo? and the real photo blurry as it is does not resemble something Russian but everyone has their own opinion I guess..

@@collybeans586 ahhh the host is such baby. He looks and sounds like someone from heavily brainwashed by neocons country - Scandinavia, Holland, Germany, Belgium, etc.
The unenhanced video on Telegram does look much more like a Kh-101 than a AIM-120. So I have to go with the Kh-101 theory. However, saying that Russia wasted a $13M weapon to deliberately target a hospital with no military significance makes no sense. Especially right before a major NATO summit giving Zelenskyy talking points. The other possibility is that the Ukrainian defense system knocked it off target. It could have been knocked off target by a projectile or GPS jamming.
@@michaelwilson9921 if Russia targetted or hit that children hospital, it would be all destroyed, not with few suffered. Itveas definitely debris from the lousy Ukrainian air defense They are very what we say hands growing from the ass. Check the history. Ukrainian air forces shot by mistake many aircrafts, incl one with 300 children following on vacation to or from Switzerland 10-15 yrs ago. I m sure the Malaysian aircraft was hit by them as they took it for Russian. One thing you need to know - Ukrainians as workers are very lazy and lousy. They do things somehow. Not how they should be done.
You don't have to destroy an entire runway. All you have to do is damage one area on each segment that denies the fighter jet sufficient runway to land or takeoff. So, if it needs a quarter mile, just damage those portions that deprive the jet of a quarter mile on the runway. My guess is you would not need more than a foot deep crater to deny a jet a safe landing. Russia will easily destroy them all. MIT physics professor Ted Postol who was a weapons specialist/analyst for the Pentagon believes based upon the designed range, the trajectory, path, speed and point of origin, the destination was the center of Sevastopol which has no military targets.
@@user-bg5dw2nk4x the host is very negligent about so many things. So Alexander had to explain and speak to his questions like to a baby, e.g. in very simple terms.

no, it's worse than that - the rules are defined in terms of giving the Western plutocracy total right over the world, the USA being a mere instrument of that basic rule
Nah, rules are not equal to laws. Laws are usually a result of a democratic process. Rules ➳ doesn’t that define the EU. The WTO doesn’t have foreign ministers, military commanders etc.,.

The interviewer at all doesn't understand about 4 terrotories. By Russian Constitution they are russian territory now. Russian troops will never withdraw and let some UN troops there. Unbelievable that he didn't even read and prepare for such topic to discuss.
Can't fight a war with hotch potch of weapons that don't work with each other. Why start and continue a war with ammunition shortages? That stupidity at its peak
@michaelwilson9921 It's 2 years going on 3 and there is no sign of that happening in fact all analysis of facts suggests that Russia is only getting stronger than it was before the start of SMO.
Alexander was amazingly polite and diplomatic with the host of this programme, who very obviously has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to anything Russia does. One does not have to like Russia, to realise that the 4 territories of Novorossiya will NEVER return to Ukraine. Nor does one have to like Russia, to realise that they are fighting with great restraint - the actual evidence of true war crimes is overwhelmingly against the Ukrainians and their Western backers. This host is an embarrassment - he is profoundly ignorant and deeply uneducated. Mercouris is erudite and hugely impressive, as always.
NATO is stronger as ever has been, don't make me laugh. Of course, with countries like Estland, Letland, Litouwen ( = they do not even have an army at all), Nederland, Belgium, Duitsland ( = ammunition for 3 days) and all the other countries do lack ammunition and their super weapons are of no use at all in Ukraine
We can say more than that. Ukrainian have mobilised 4 times now and are currently doing the 5th mobilisation forcing people or taking people by force to fight. Ukrainian dead is over 650,000 KIA. With over 1.3 million wounded and no longer able to fight. The evidence are in the dynamics regarding mobilisation and subsequent trainings given to new Ukrainian conscripts who are thrown into fights after just two weeks of training. That is the dire situation the Ukrainians are with dwindling personnel. Why is Ukraine asking for Ukrainian refugees in the EU be deported to fight. We must remember that Ukraine started this war with 450K strong in Feb 2022. Before that year ended, they mobilised twice or so. And twice last year 2023. Forceful fifth mobilisation is ongoing in 2024. I do not agree with the presenter of this channel " blaming Russia for the invasion". The issue is who engineered and caused the war? I think we all know who that is. The Russians have every right to go in. Everyone seems to forget that the whole of Ukraine is the ancestral Russian origin when Kievan Rus was established before capital were moved to St Petersburg and Moscow. I wonder what the Americans will do if similar is done to them? We all know the answer to that.
@@tomfarrell8434 He's too steep into Western narrative like most Eiropeans are. They really believe that Russia is out to conquered Ukraine and then Europe! But that what their media said 24/7. So lies become truth! And who believes otherwise is brainwashed by Putin, they say.
The Dutch guy, the show host clearly doesn't get it. Time wasted, Alexander. One thing that does need to be understood by the West is that Ukraine as a state appeared in 1991 with the following conditions: 1. Military neutrality 2. Respect for it's ethnic Russian and Russian speaking population including their cultural and religious rights. And this is not a minority, but a majority in that country at about 60% Ukrainian authorities have grossly violated these principles after the West supported coup in 2014. Russia's mistake was to allow this coup to happen and not to support uprising against the coup in at least 10 oblast (regions) where people wanted to restore constitutional order. Now they are paying for their mistakes and procrastination with a prolonged bloody war.
I think the Russians consider the four oblasts as part of Russia now. They've had referendums with majorities. Lughansk and Donetsk have had at least 2 referendums won desiring independence.
With every interview this man conducts, he proves that no one should trust his understanding of the world and his judgement, especially with their financial future.
Excellent geopolitical analysis by Alexander, thanks! But you need to do research on the Ukrainian coup and its aftermath in non Western sources, he seems to believe in all the Western lies about the conflict. You condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine!!! How could Russia, who had exhausted all diplomatic means, up until December with its mutual security proposal to NATO and the US, solve this existencial threat to both Russians and Ukrainian Russians? Kiev had been bombing the Donbass for 8 years when the Special Military Operation began!
Thankfulness to both the interveners. I also think that Europeans have the burden of peace over their shoulders, meaning that they shall promote peace if they wish to avoid still more difficult times, worst than those to come. Thankfulness to both the very wise speakers.
"I blame Russia for this war", says the host. Is he really that ignorant. I see he invites some very prominent analysts, how has he not learned a thing about the war's roots. Incredulous that after more than 2.5 years, independent people like him are so "blue pill". Hope he learned something from Alexander.
I have a question: Do the Americans and the Europeans really believe that the loss that they will be enduring from a war break is less than what they will rake as gain from their military industrial complex??!!!!

This was a good conversation. I appreciate both sides honesty and straightforwardness. I do disagree however. I don't think we are listening closely enough to the Ukrainians, Moldovans, Polish, Latvians, Estonians, or Lithuanians. These are all former Soviet republics. We need to listen to those people. That's where you get the truth. The bombing of that Children's hospital in Kiev was awful. The countries I mentioned above could probably explain worse. We need to let them speak.
Yeah if you listen to them they are rabid for war and even support escalating the conflict, especially the Baltic states. They (Baltic states) were some of the only countries willing to send troops when Macron proposed to send the french military to Ukraine. And the governments of these states fervivdly represent the nato line. Personally I question their sovereignty considering how beholden they are to the EU, nato and the U.S. Listening to them is just like listening to an even more hawkish version of the U.S. or nato
It is not that simple Pretend for just 1 minute this was USA and Mexico and go back 20 years with the same progressing changes instigated by the outsiders
