Merry Christmas .Putins war machine is falling part .Wheres Greta????One wonders what the inside story is on the sinking of this ship .
i don't understand how in 21st century there are some people's which saying in a manner "that is not our war" or "putin can be reasoned with". the very same talking points was in 1939 world-wide. and we can google photos of it now! does history really teach people nothing?
For a minute there Professor Wilson I thought this was the 4th ship. It's as if the collapse of Russia is in 'extreme slow mode'. Merry Christmas to you and your online community Sir.
Maybe it of Russia's own making ? They decided to invade their neighbours, be a rouge State, and have the F you Jack I'm alright attitude? Push back from ' the west ' is not our making ? I think any push back is to little to late .
I think the time for talking with Russia expired a long time ago.
Ships spilling tons of oil is a disaster, Russian airplanes falling from the sky is a nuisance.
Seems to fit the Russians well in their destructive nature…
Great!
Russia is not going to lose this conflict. They have significantly weakened NATO, and the leaders of major countries like Germany, France, and the UK have faltered. Their economies are on the brink, and they can no longer support Ukraine because they refused to pursue peace. Germany continues to purchase oil and gas from Russia but at a much higher cost.
The Labour Party came into power without a solid plan A, let alone a plan B. Meanwhile, America has seemingly given up on both Ukraine and NATO unless these countries begin paying their fair share for defence.
When you poke a bear with a blunt stick they should expect a reaction. Russia could have resolved this situation earlier with a single nuclear strike, which might have compelled the West to take them more seriously. That action could have saved lives. Putin has shown restraint from the beginning, unlike the Americas, who would not have reacted the same way if their neighbour had been supported by multiple countries supplying Ukraine with outdated stockpiles before decommissioning them.
All those lives wasted along with the money going to big business and the City of London, are rubbing their hands, as it is only business to them, on a global level.
It is all about control, and as the scriptures tell us in the Book of Revelation tell us of the end times.
All the main players have gone only Putin and Zelensky left and Zelensky will end up in one of his bolt holes, if he isn't assassinated?
Putin, BRICS and still selling their oil and gas, who as come off the better?
Has always big business, the bankers.
Putin doesn't care he is fighting for his life
What a load of codswallop prof. The US has lost 16 vessels and 2024 isn’t over yet. If you include the 12th April Twenty-six barges broke loose in the Ohio River near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania going down stream sinking an unknown number of small boats at Peggy's Harbor marina. One barge sank near Dashields Locks and Dam. Nothing to do with sanctions just pure misrepresentation
We can’t lift those sanctions. At all. It’s a shame as to what’s happening as a result, but Russia simply can’t be allowed to win this war. I truly hate to say it, but while war is terrible and results in ecological and human disaster, alloying a tyrant to get his way is worse. We should all know how Hitler acted and how the lack of will to stop him resulted in WWII. We can’t allow Putin, who has stated numerous times that these countries that broke from the USSR aren’t legitimate and need to be brought back into Russia. He won’t stop, and so he must BE stopped. With nuclear weapons, we can’t just put forces there, so strong sanctions, and as far as I’m concerned we screwed up by not making them very strong at the beginning of the war, but gradually, as it became that weak ones weren’t having much of an effect, need to be made even stronger.
in the tradition of the Russian navy
Tim this current sinking means most of Russia troops unable to celebrate Christmas next year who cares does Vova Putinka cares no he will spin and bullshit ordinary Russians blaming the West . What's worse than a seaman in Kursk submarine in 2000 .
Some Russian ships were absolute wrecks long before sanctions…Seem a couple of fishing boats in the channel that looked in shocking state…almost on par wirh their aircraft carrier..
The rf does whatever they want, and the West sits around bickering and wringing their hands. Do something or stop complaining.
There is no reason to talk to russia. They're not to be treated like adults.
Never forget that the Kremlin's most powerful weapon is propaganda, and their goal is to bring all of eastern Europe back under their heel. They want us to think like this, to feel sorry for them. You cannot acquiesce to tyrants. Though I do agree with your statement that environmental enforcement needs to be dramatically stepped up. And that doesn't just apply to Russian ships, they just happen to be the most notable offenders at this moment.
'A problem of our own making'? Are you on drugs? It is a problem of Russia's making. They should not have invaded Ukraine, they should not be operating defective ships and they should not NEED to evacuate an army from Syria. … OF OUR OWN MAKING? Absolutely not Tim.
I shall wait before i agree it's sanctions. Incompetence, neglect, GUR for this one?
The Ursa Major’s untimely demise proves that Russia’s naval strategy remains consistent: why worry about maintaining a fleet when the ocean floor offers free drydock?
Western warmongers laid an explosive charge on that ship imho . A war crime and 2 crew lost.
DO NOT THINK THIS WAS A ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT WASNT LIKE THE SINKINGS IN THE BLACK SEA RUSSIA IS DOING THIS OUT OF HATE FOR PPL THAT CARE ABOUT OUR ENVIRONMENT TO HURT THE WORLD TO HURT THE PPL THAT HAVE SOULS RUSSIA SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE A SHIPPING INDUSTRY IF THEY NEED TO SHIP OIL OR GRAIN CALL SOMEONE OR BETTER YET WE SHOULD BAN ALL PASSPORTS OUT OF RUSSIA NO MORE TRAVEL FOR RUSSIANS UNTIL THEY PAY THE PPL IN THESE AREAS FOR THE DAMAGE THAT WILL NEVRR RECOVER WITHIN 1000YRS THEY ARE DISGUSTING NATION
Russia cares even less about the environment then they care about human rights. They know that no one will hold them accountable!
It's amazing how some industries continue to supply goods to a brutal aggressor, completely unaffected by the horrific war crimes being carried out against a civilian population and creating irreversible ecocides on our fragile planet.
Talk to russia? Nuts.
Unsouled World
It's interesting that you think sanctions were a mistake in the first place. I'll have to look to see if you have a video explaining your reasons. I hate to see sanctions hurt escaping Russian dissidents who refuse to participate in Putin's war, but otherwise, I like the idea of oligarchs' money being frozen – and then hopefully given to Ukraine for the war effort and later rebuilding. Thanks for the video and Merry Christmas!
Easy fix Tim – Russia ceases war. There, done.
I am sorry professor, but no sanctions on Russian oil would be handing Ukraine to Russia. Russian oil sales to Europe essentially paid for Putin's invasion. With or without sanctions Putin will behave without any regard for the damage he is doing to the evironment. The ecological catastrophe caused by blowing up the Kakhovka dam was not caused by Western sanctions.
War crimes?
Very powerful speech put together. Very well in sort space of time and you know it's the truth.
Now i see the path you've been tracing. Fool
You are completely right. Everybody knows of the risks of Putin's shadow fleet. But nobody seems be willing to do anything. The anybodies that should do something are for sure the recipients of the that oil Could it be that India and China should perhaps show some hint of responsible actions?
Russia has already won the war, it just needs to wrapped up now on their terms.
How much experience have you had with British merchant ships? Of course now there aren't any, but once the British merchant fleet was very large. Do you think those ships were well maintained? Safe for the crews? Safe for the environment? I remember the tank cleaning that happened on the way out to Mina Al Mahdi from Europort. Thousands of tons of contaminated sea water regularly pumped out at night into the ocean.
The war in Ukraine, waged by the USA and NATO, for the purpose of destroying Russia so that it can be asset stripped by US corporations, is supported by the sanctions. Do you want to stop the war? Would you like the US neocons to be neutered so that the world can be rendered safe from US domination?
How many countries are having their internal affairs violently interfered with by the CIA and their front groups? (Assisted by that disgusting lackey Britain).
It sank because Russia invaded Ukraine. An environmental disaster thanks to Putin. He doesn't care about the sea, just his own ego.
Ban these ships
Professor if one of your I am six pal's sabotage the ship, i take it's still the Russians fault.
merry christmas 🎄
the question we should ask, when see the title of the video is not that sanctions work" but what prof wilson does with linking sanctions, ligitimate and meant to shorten the war, with the echological disaster, not unlike the Novokahovka dam. You listen and think professor is for Ukraine, but I cannot but ask , why the title?
We must, as you say, talk to Russia first and suggest they pay up for the clean up of these spills. Failing their agreement to do that, perhaps some of the environmental cost could be financed by the $300 billion sitting in frozen Russian assets.
Surely an intelligent man as yourself knows talking to Putin is like talking to a stone!?
