Tell Ukraine how to fight the was or suggest tactics and strategies? We have a perfect right to do the second, as long as we are respectful and not domineering. Delicate task to walk that line, however. But we are not always right, and Ukrainians have learned A lot in recent years. About strategies at the upper level?

People keep talking about negotiations. But Putin can end the war in under a minute - withdraw his army from Ukraine. Done. If he is such peace dove - let him put his money where his mouth is

Fantastic ! Spread the news ! I wish you great enthusiasm and good luck. The russian propaganda machine is huge and includes many robots / AI. Putin is a master of illusion who creates votes from thin air. USA must be strong to ensure a legimate election process. Regards from UK
Jonathon, you are a gentleman and a scholar and your guests are top shelf... Mariia helped me understand the BS we were fed re: 2014 Ru invasion and Minsk agreements/accords. My parents told us stories about war torn Vienna and its surprising to me more people in the EU don't realize their freedom is in peril if Ukraine falls or capitulates due to outside pressure. I'm also bewildered as to why De hasn't sent Tarus to Ukraine... I'm sure Canada would send them if we had them but something tells me our missle stocks are limited to wooden harpoons.
She provides telling insight after telling insight. Lack of West’s ability to intellectually grapple with implications of Russian collapse, Russian state possible collapse.
Good article addressing the very point you make in the Atlantic Council website by Casey Michel, title; Russia Tomorrow: Five scenarios for Russia’s future
Thank you artmcteagle. I looked it up and listened to the podcast version. Downloaded the paper but haven’t read it. You are right, seems like an informative, very accessible article by a guy who seems bright and digs deep.
Tucker Carlson let Putin talk mostly uninterrupted for around 2 hours and just sat there looking like an eager puppy. That's CNN (formerly Fox) journalist Chris Wallace's take on the interview. Great metaphor, eh?
I would surmise that the new general will take a more offensive strategy. Zaluzhny was taking a positional, defensive, attritional strategy, but such a position could only be effective for a limited time. He will try to take the initiative, use military deception and take destruction of Russian logistics and fuel supplies to another level.
Zaluzhny tried to preserve manpower (soldiers' lives) rather than engage in meat wave attacks like the ruSSian do, and presumably Syrsky ( Cheesey?) might do as well.
Speaking of regional security, the guest's expertise, I am baffled at the lack of concern about that in Germany by almost anyone you ask. The average person just has no desire to look into where the Kremlin plans to go next if it takes Ukraine. Germans have internalized the "do no harm" part completely, but do not yet seem willing or capable of thinking about what to do if someone else is doing harm. It's literally deer in the headlights.
Classic abuser strategy.... Cycle of abuse: tension, explosion, repentance, love bombing. Same pattern in a family or 8nternational. I believe your title and am already listening!
The parallel to Stalinism, where during WWII Ukraine as the locus of a power struggle (Russia unwisely signed a non-aggression agreement with Hitler) and was treated as THE most important territorial ground in Europe, as both strategic and logistical elements. Putin seems to be using the same lens to Ukraine and fails to understand any cultural or humanitarian sensibilities.
5:25 Rhos, Rosia, Ruthenia or Regnum Russiae was not a proto-Ukrainian but simply Ukrainian state because there is a legal continuity in between them. And there is no such continuity in between Russia and Muscovy, these countries never bordered or even coexisted in time.
Two topics not mentioned in many places: Putin warmly says Musk is a genius. After US suspension of lng projects, Sholtz visits Biden. Am I nitpicking? Putin tends to throw praise to those who have done him a favor. Germany has had a love/hate relationship with Russian gas.
Yes, just reading her short cv I am impressed. But just in the first 5 min she makes a vital point. Significant events are taking place in Ukraine. Carlson interview is propaganda/ a totally different phenomenon
Split bill has been sent to House from Senate with 2/3 majority. Ultimately a possibility that next week’s byelection may cut R margin to one or two votes.
Dear Maria and Jonathan, this was an incredible conversation. It's very important to dissect the Krim and Donbas myths Russia spreads compulsively. I hope the shake up in the Ukrainian military leadership is for good reasons. Unfortunately I have some doubts about it. Zalushny is a great commander. Zelensky is a great politician, but a green shirt does not make him a soldier.
Zaluzhney (sp) removal sounds like policy issues in conflict, but what do I know. Civilian control of military is painfully earned in US and not permitted to be challenged (see Lincoln, Civil War, Korea 1950) therefore tendency to support Zelensky’s right to do this. Not clear WHY this decision made!
Extraordinary interview!!!! thank u both! yes, the 'green corridor' in Donbas was a tragedy AND the most profound type of treachery possible & showed that Ru was an absolutely malign entity that needed to be pushed back against by all good countries, and/but that didn't happen. We americans, many of us, have been writing to our gvt officials about this and about the war since '22, and have not gotten far enough obviously. We have A-10 aircraft retiring right now, which are the ideal plane, or the main ideal plane, for Ukr going forward, if there's also adequate other systems and assets and 'so forth' and possible 'other assistance'. The fact that we americans and the british have helped in a major way to put Ukr military and civilans at increased risk for the past 2 years, by definition, also means we have an obligation to do the wise and righteous thing from here -on, which appears to be the sort of MUCH ENHANCED arming and 'ableing' of Ukraine. This strategic and tactical set of ideas is not difficult to comprehend. I do not know what is truly possible, so i hesitate to say this is entirely possible, but it would seem to be, and without it, there is clearly no major moving forward 'against' Ru's occupied areas. So basic.
You only have to remember what happened in Georgia to see what Putin's game is. He just wants peace to rearm retrain then attack again. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Like anyone will fall for that again. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Do you remember Putin said he was only having military exercises before the invasion of Ukraine 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
@todd1770 SO YOU MEAN WHEN PRESIDENT VIKTOR YANUKVYCH CLAIMED TO HAVE WON THE ELECTIONS WITH A HUGE MAJORITY. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE KNEW THIS WAS UTTER BULLSHIT AND PROTESTED ON MASS. THERE WAS NO CIA PLOT. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 WHEN PRESIDENT VIKTOR YANUKVYCH ORDERED TROOPS TO FIRE ON THE PROTESTERS AND SOME PEOPLE WERE SHOT. THE UKRAINIANS ROSE UP AND CHASED PRESIDENT VIKTOR YANUKVYCH OUT OF UKRAINE BACK TO HIS PUPPET MASTER PUTIN. SO CUT THE BULLSHIT WE ALL KNOW HOW PRESIDENT VIKTOR YANUKVYCH WAS REMOVED. IT WAS THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE THAT REMOVED HIM.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I found the pootler interview to be more of an indictment against his invasion. I don't think it helped him much. Also, i was actually quite impressed with Tucker pressing him and asking him uncomfortable questions. I wasn't expecting anything but softballs.
And russia is doing so well? Remember the war, excuse me, the special operation was supposed to be over almost two years ago, and some 400,000 russian casualties less. By the way where is the admiral in charge of the black sea fleet, and the Russian general chief of staff?.
Republicans and Trump will support Ukraine. It’s just domestic politics. Trump will pivot to Ukrainian aid after election once corruption issues are resolve. All my Republican representatives support more aid. Only a small group of the party doesn’t’. The party needs these people to win. If republicans get a bigger majority, they will push for more support. I’ve seen it happen before in both parties. Glory to Ukraine!
@@carolwilliams8511 Today I watched a video of a very intelligent Russian journalist who said that Zaluzhnyi didn't listen to Zelenskyi, that he does only what he feels is right. And therefore Zelenskyi fired him.
Honestly, blaming the West for not arming Ukraine beforehand, is a bit over the top. I mean, how would we know how Ukraine would react? What if they would just welcome the Russians like the 1939 Anschluss of Austria, where the calculus in Wien was -" we got an Austrian Chancellor, we got to place our people high up, so we pull the strings of the new empire.". What if the combined armies of RU, UA and BY would have stormed Tallin or Vilnius with western weapons, among other kit? That would have been a risk nobody wanted to take. The brits were the first to place their bets that Kyiv would stand, and soon the civilized world followed. It was just self-preservation, both political and moral. Albeit, at the expense of Ukraininan lives.
Because they’ve been fighting since 2014. That’s 10 years of evidence, if we had 1) bothered to focus and 2) not been influenced by Russian threat and propaganda.
I am an American and retired military and I think you mistake Trump and what he will do or not do. Trump will not abandon Ukraine. Joe Biden is a weak leader and has held up what Ukraine needs to win. Trump will not do that.
If this is true I will be surprised. Pleasantly so. And it will help revise my opinion of the man. As Boris Johnson's stance on Ukraine raised him in my estimation despite his domestic mess ups. Ukraine is my litmus paper of the worth of today's politicians.
Trump obviously is rooting for russia. There is no doubt about it. Why? Because he feels more at home in the company of authoritarian dictators than in the company of democratically elected representatives of the free world.
I would love to think that you are right, but every every statement Trump has made so far about both Ukraine, and for that matter NATO does not fill me with optimism.
I'm a Canadian and believe it's wishful thinking that Trump will do an about-face and support Ukraine... IMO - and this is not a jab @ the GOP - Trump is crippling the party for his own personal gains... he's a delusional liar that should be locked up for what he's done... the man isn't going to make America great again just as Pulter isn't going to make Ru great again.
Please, enough already with the 'Putin interfering in U.S. elections' nonsense--we are quite capable of choosing between the 'High Popalorum' and the 'Low Popahirum' on our own. The truth is that Ukraine is 20 years too late to the party.
Just another ruzzian troll providing the debunked nonsense that ruzzia never interferes with foreign elections....ruzzia spends billions of dollars in election interference around the world.....
Believe me, I would evaluate the knowledge and how much eloquent any person is, it was my job as a communication professor. It seem to me those girls aren't so smart and eloquent.@@SiliconCurtain
@@cirohernandezrodriguez2928 I know an university professor who in the 60s was recruited by a kgb operative. He's been spreading putin's propaganda for over 2 years and was financially rewarded. He recently bought 2 luxury car. And 5 years ago he drove Toyota. He's your kind....
What’s the obsession with “pretty faces” in your comments? Are intelligent people meant to be physically repulsive so unable to deceive? Where’s your ‘intellectual’ theory coming from?
What a passionate propagandist! - while Ukrainian troops have been suffering such awful losses. How much death and suffering do you two want for your version of the myth? The lack of conscience on both sides is almost inhuman. But someone can make a career scavenging on this heartbreaking situation🇺🇦
@@SiliconCurtain I said that both sides are utterly lacking conscience. Why don't you examine your own conscience, before pushing the remaining Ukrainian troops, bravely hanging on, to their deaths? For your myth. Truly disgusting.
@@MonteRosa849 About joining a cult?: join Silicon Curtain, as it devolves into a Russia-hating cult, that ignores the heartbreakingly devastating human loss for Ukrainians. The artillery and manpower situation has become so dire for the Ukrainian troops, but the Cult will still admit only one view, until these brave people are crucified. I think Jonathan honestly believes the lies, such is self-confirmation bias plus the (half-)fantasy world of Vlad Vexler. Shattering for the people on the ground and in the trenches, our fellow human beings...
Tell ruzzia to get the F out of Ukraine then this stupid war ends. A terrorist war criminal is keeping this going , not the free West. Our troops are not in there. All we are doing is giving aid. Just as putler gets aid from fellow terrorist states. But he gets it to continue aggression. Ukraine gets it to resist a bully.

Putin seems to be using the same lens to Ukraine and fails to understand any cultural or humanitarian sensibilities.
Negotiating requires trust in advance. Thenafer, it requires an arbiter in case of violation. Or the contract will be toilet paper.

I found the pootler interview to be more of an indictment against his invasion. I don't think it helped him much. Also, i was actually quite impressed with Tucker pressing him and asking him uncomfortable questions. I wasn't expecting anything but softballs.
But it's irrelevant
The audience for this interview was US voting public maybe even some European s
And Putin s power base is still Russia and Eurasia
@@goenzoy712 Yes. I live in the US
Ukraine's got a deep bench of dedicated democrats, example number 923!
Zolkins brother,sister or wife?🤔🤨
Ukraine is getting seriously battered
And russia is doing so well? Remember the war, excuse me, the special operation was supposed to be over almost two years ago, and some 400,000 russian casualties less. By the way where is the admiral in charge of the black sea fleet, and the Russian general chief of staff?.

Republicans and Trump will support Ukraine. It’s just domestic politics. Trump will pivot to Ukrainian aid after election once corruption issues are resolve. All my Republican representatives support more aid. Only a small group of the party doesn’t’. The party needs these people to win. If republicans get a bigger majority, they will push for more support. I’ve seen it happen before in both parties. Glory to Ukraine!
Do you believe that? I so hope you are right. I have many doubts.
Trump will be in jail before the next election the way it’s going for him.
What corruption? Trump was corrupted by Putin.
100% *NOT* true.
@@TrollBeGone 😂 he already has. 61 billion coming. It’s all politics.
That’s not correct Zelenskyy has stated how he wants the military to be with the clear implication that Zaluszny wasn’t doing it
Zele is a four-time dodger who has a better understanding than a general...
There’s more to this story I think. There may be an interesting task awaiting The general.
@@SiliconCurtain....yes like peeling an onion....
Far more to it than that. Zelensky has to speak to world leaders and 'sell' Ukraine to the allies.
@@carolwilliams8511 Today I watched a video of a very intelligent Russian journalist who said that Zaluzhnyi didn't listen to Zelenskyi, that he does only what he feels is right. And therefore Zelenskyi fired him.
Honestly, blaming the West for not arming Ukraine beforehand, is a bit over the top. I mean, how would we know how Ukraine would react? What if they would just welcome the Russians like the 1939 Anschluss of Austria, where the calculus in Wien was -" we got an Austrian Chancellor, we got to place our people high up, so we pull the strings of the new empire.". What if the combined armies of RU, UA and BY would have stormed Tallin or Vilnius with western weapons, among other kit? That would have been a risk nobody wanted to take. The brits were the first to place their bets that Kyiv would stand, and soon the civilized world followed. It was just self-preservation, both political and moral. Albeit, at the expense of Ukraininan lives.
Because they’ve been fighting since 2014. That’s 10 years of evidence, if we had 1) bothered to focus and 2) not been influenced by Russian threat and propaganda.
I am an American and retired military and I think you mistake Trump and what he will do or not do. Trump will not abandon Ukraine. Joe Biden is a weak leader and has held up what Ukraine needs to win. Trump will not do that.
If this is true I will be surprised. Pleasantly so. And it will help revise my opinion of the man. As Boris Johnson's stance on Ukraine raised him in my estimation despite his domestic mess ups. Ukraine is my litmus paper of the worth of today's politicians.
Trump obviously is rooting for russia. There is no doubt about it. Why? Because he feels more at home in the company of authoritarian dictators than in the company of democratically elected representatives of the free world.
I would love to think that you are right, but every every statement Trump has made so far about both Ukraine, and for that matter NATO does not fill me with optimism.
Trump is already holding up help via Johnson.
I'm a Canadian and believe it's wishful thinking that Trump will do an about-face and support Ukraine... IMO - and this is not a jab @ the GOP - Trump is crippling the party for his own personal gains... he's a delusional liar that should be locked up for what he's done... the man isn't going to make America great again just as Pulter isn't going to make Ru great again.
Please, enough already with the 'Putin interfering in U.S. elections' nonsense--we are quite capable of choosing between the 'High Popalorum' and the 'Low Popahirum' on our own. The truth is that Ukraine is 20 years too late to the party.
Just another ruzzian troll providing the debunked nonsense that ruzzia never interferes with foreign elections....ruzzia spends billions of dollars in election interference around the world.....
What party? 🧐
Catfishing is no good

They are also smart and eloquent.

What’s the obsession with “pretty faces” in your comments? Are intelligent people meant to be physically repulsive so unable to deceive? Where’s your ‘intellectual’ theory coming from?
What a passionate propagandist! - while Ukrainian troops have been suffering such awful losses. How much death and suffering do you two want for your version of the myth? The lack of conscience on both sides is almost inhuman. But someone can make a career scavenging on this heartbreaking situation🇺🇦
It’s your comment that is disgusting. Russia is the aggressor. Ukraine did not ask to be invaded and is fighting for its very existence.
@ zetristan4525 Pooootin bot, your bs is so stale, go home!
@@SiliconCurtain I said that both sides are utterly lacking conscience. Why don't you examine your own conscience, before pushing the remaining Ukrainian troops, bravely hanging on, to their deaths? For your myth. Truly disgusting.
@@zetristan4525 You sound sooooo intelligent…??? Say, I always wanted to join a CULT!! Can you tell me more about this??
@@MonteRosa849 About joining a cult?: join Silicon Curtain, as it devolves into a Russia-hating cult, that ignores the heartbreakingly devastating human loss for Ukrainians. The artillery and manpower situation has become so dire for the Ukrainian troops, but the Cult will still admit only one view, until these brave people are crucified.
I think Jonathan honestly believes the lies, such is self-confirmation bias plus the (half-)fantasy world of Vlad Vexler. Shattering for the people on the ground and in the trenches, our fellow human beings...
Propaganda!!!!! Guys stop warmongring.... for real...
Tell ruzzia to get the F out of Ukraine then this stupid war ends. A terrorist war criminal is keeping this going , not the free West. Our troops are not in there. All we are doing is giving aid. Just as putler gets aid from fellow terrorist states. But he gets it to continue aggression. Ukraine gets it to resist a bully.
Cry more Vatnik.
Putin's propaganda. How much do they pay you?
😂 cry more, id10t…
