Really like this channel, the most neutral insights I have come across. What would improve it further would be a visual on the studio
This broadcast is the gold standard for thoughtful electronic journalism.
I agree with Roland. Few tanks after a year? Abrams another year until delivery? They should start training long ago. Are we really dedicated to help them win or not? Everyone is saying that Putin understand only the power, but we are afraid. No country should be allowed to do what Russia is doing in Ukraine, but because it is Russia…
And some countries do not care, business as usual. African countries, what they have against Ukraine? They are independent for so many years, yet they still blame the West for colonialism. How they think Russia became so big, with friendly diplomacy?
Who would have thought Ruby Wax would have such a deep insight into the Russian state church. Amazing.
How would England like a Chinese base in Scotland, happy about that
There is no evidence of mass casualties bh the Russians, where is the Drone footage to prove it? Why are spreading such lies?
Russian Orthodox Church survived the Soviet era. They back Putin today because the line of least resistance is how they survive. The Church of England has gone woke but is that really any different?
Russia has lost all of its experienced troops. They have nobody to train new troops. However, they don’t have Sergeants so who knows how they were ever going to train their soldiers.
Some say that USA should provide ATACMS rockets. These have the range. But Russia can shoot them down and the effects of cluster bombs will politically damage Ukraine.
EU cannot afford to accept Ukraine. Their massive agricultural industry would collapse the Common Agricultural Policy.
Every occasion might have a hidden treasure: at least the reluctance of the West means that the Russians keep underestimating. They have to forget their tactics for the next mobilization, because they didn't count on those tanks. And then they optimistically expect that it won't come to anything with the F-16, and they again have to find another tactic. Their confusion about the West being confused is also a tactic 🙂
What a sad cope of a podcast. Wagner is spent? Lol. I enjoy watching your island sinking into geopolitical irrelevancy. Enjoy the dismemberment of NHS, Bongs.
Didn't NATO put sanctions on Russian exports which caused the energy problems?
Germany was happy with the energy they were getting from Russia.
I think Ukraine probably will join NATO after the war if the new border of Ukraine is the dnipro River.
Western democracy.. that's where the FBI shuts down all pro Trump support and gets Joe Biden elected despite his criminal actions in Ukraine starting in 2014.
Because Orthodox Christianity is a Caesaropapist (try saying that three times fast) religion, what that meant in ancient times is that the Roman, Byzantine, and eventually Russian emperors appointed the Patriarchs of the Orthodox faith and ultimately the Emperor had final say on what the Church could and couldn't say or do. Emperors and Tsars may be gone, but this tradition of political leaders controlling Orthodox religious leaders still remains.
I'm so glad to have found this resource on YouTube. I'm just an average middle class American from Southeastern Ohio but I can't quit thinking about what the people of Ukraine are going through everyday. I completely relate to Roland's comments and he shouldn't apologize for getting emotional. I am ashamed that the collective West did not rise up immediately and crush this Russian belligerence from the start. The comments regarding Hitler were completely appropriate. It's sad to imagine the lives that would have been saved if Hitler would have been met head on from the start especially while his military was still weak. What well meaning peace loving people can't seem to learn from history is that immediate and overwhelming force applied to unprovoked aggression could save more lives than it costs.
The Russian church advocating war and genocide is not surprising. Brutality is integral to Russian culture and society.
Olga is an American, what a surprise. Not!
Good work, good guests, good for ukraina
Im in Norway and married to a Ukrainian. So biased I guess. I did enjoy the podcast.
Russians arent throwing wave after wave of troops with no artillery. Thats a huge exaggeration. Wagner doesnt have waves of troops. It does have artillery and assault troops to prode the defenses of Ukraine and take advantage of the weaknesses. Both sides are taking big losses so lets not act like its just the Russians.
💙💛🇬🇧
51:15 "finally after a year send some tanks" …….. and too late before the major Russian offensive….
It seems that the west did not want to feel guilty in case of a massacre of the Ukrainians, now they can say "we gave them what they needed" .
What an amazing piece of information, brilliant, so much research, knowledge and work !
Strange perspective.
Omg lady losing her teeth as she hits the crack pipe or what.
Set $1 billions reward for Putin dead or alive.
How someone can be religious after realising what religion and "religious people" doing to their flock 🐑🐑🐑🫏? It's a tool for politicians, swindlers and dictators using people as they feel like.
Because kgb buddy.
Hahaha,,, 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 the Ukrainians are winning 😂😆😂😆 don't worry Russia will run out of artillery shells in a few days 😂😂😂😂
this is propaganda radio
Why was nothing said or done when the Ukraine nationals refused to honor the Minsk accords – and we learn that they had no intentions of honoring them, but instead, bombed the ethnic Russians in a genocide. Zelensky gives those of us in the West no accounting for the billions of tax dollars we have given.
