Correct. the lesson went wrong as is war of the last 2 years

I thought this was a wonderful interview, well done! Good, thoughtful questions and wonderfully interesting answers from Anne Berest. Thank you! (And PS the book is wonderful!!!)

Great book. If you will, check out Guns & Almond Milk which is a war related novel

Mr ASMR

I’ve read many books about the Holocaust but this one is so different. I connect to her story; do my family’s genealogy, connecting to my Jewish background. I understand more about cellular memory.

When you say his book was excellent, it sounds like it's not available anymore. I would suggest that you use the Present tense. Dr. Phillip Blood is such a marvellous historian and writer and so knowledgeable about the German forces and Germany leading up to and during the Second World War.

Russia wars were caused by the U.S. Deep State, including CIA, USAID, other NGO's promoting NATO membership, which is just another way of continuing Washington D.C's aggression to surround Russia with armies ( Nato ) and nuclear weapons 5 minutes from most of Russia.

yes accurate in the pinpointing of bullshit ... after the fall of the wall , in the chaos, the western financial elites swamed in to ukraine , waving with lots of money to install sockpuppet governaments , (just like south america in the 50ies and 60ies)....they even managed to install a sockpuppet in russia...JELTSIN ...they were used to destroy the russian federation ... unde guidance of the financial elites russia lost kazachstan turkmenistan kirgistan oesbekistan , georgia azerbeidjan armenia and some othe i cant remember ... when putin took over he kicked out the world financial elites and ended their grip on the banking system as well ... u now can see the turmoil in geoargia and armenia azerbeidjan ...where cia and mi6 operatives are setting up the countries to be run by pro EU sockpuppets ... they will follow ukraine in turmoil when they act against russia .. thats how the world financial elites work ... this girl understands nothing ...

they have no idea about the idiocy they r blabbering ...

what ??? wrong ... ukriaine was swarmed by the western world financial elites in the chaos after the fall of the wall to install sockpuppet governament ...they did the same with russia ... jeltsin was a sockpuppet of the west ... jeltsin was in idiot and constant drunk .. he destroyed russia ... just like the western financial elites wanted ... thats why u have war now ... and georgia is going the same way becouse of the cia mi6 operations there ..armenia azerbeidjan as well ..

My Prof. said that Wilson "owes him a coffee" bevause he made one of students by his book.

I only needed to hear her say it is Russia's war. Well that's not right, as it was thought up in an American think tank called RAND Corporation and the booklet they produced called Extending Russia -Competing from Advantageous Grounds. And as for nazism you only need to know zelensky has allocated a national holiday to Stephan Bandera. Her book would be a waste of time, from her total ignorance. Just google "2018 nazi Ukraine" why does she full so much time talking about history that has nothing to do with this particular war

Thank you for this interview of such an authoritative academic. Great to hear that your town in the Eastern US is showing support for Ukraine, which is also an investment in the security of Europe and the US and the wider world. Professor Plokhy explains the history very clearly. I enjoyed English language translations of his books very much. The Kemlin's worldview is very simplistic and old and destructive - that there are simple 'blocs' of exclusive cultural identity based on language, which should also equate with the borders of political units in the form of states, and that state relations are just based on force. That worldview is a recipe for endless wars - either to create buffer zones of puppet states (which then need to be expanded endlessly) or to unite 'lost' language speakers with the mother country, whether or not those people claim a distinct identity. Part of that Kremlin worldview is to deny identity and agency to other nationalities if they are in the way of imperial ambitions. Putin and Moscow do not have the right to decide whether Ukrainians or Ukraine are real. The world is more complicated and nuanced and multi-layered than the Kremlin worldview. Current events reminds us of other aggressors in the past. Sadly, the West has mostly been managing support for Ukraine based on flawed assumptions of shared global values, ingrained habits about damage limitation, and lack of geopolitical understanding or strategic thought. Western politicians are used to demonstrative gesture politics to meet short term demands of the media rather than effective politics to achieve strategic goals.

Hi does the book has photos of the f-35 or its strictly information book?

Create a threat where none exists Create the condition for a threat And perhaps the threat will materialize What does a lawyer know of geopolitics This isn’t a Cold War The Cold War had the basis of dialogue in the presence of tension The current situation is tension created due to the absence of coherent dialogue Russia is more influential than China politically because it is an alternative to western hegemony. China doesn’t enunciate any alternative and is rather geopolitically insular it instead rides the coat tails of the Russian political sphere Stop thinking economics, the Vatican is influential but has no real economic of military power. The US on paper is richer than it has ever been in economic terms but has lost its political soul

It was a disaster for Britain letting Ireland gain independence. The start of a national decline that is accelerating today. Putin won't let something similar happen to Russia

Pretty accurate point of view

Putin is an imperialist. His support ratings go up when Russia invades its neighbors or when he expands its sphere of influence. He failed to keep expanding his empire through "peaceful means" so he decided to do it militarily, and when that didn't work, he escalated, and because that's not going according to plan either, he's trying to beat Ukrainian civilians into submission. There are all kinds of Russian-minded experts trying to excuse this behavior. What incentive is there for Russia to stop invading its neighbors the way it's been doing for centuries if it keeps working -- if the West keeps thinking that the buffer states are expendable. The people in the so-called buffer states are tired to keep having to ask for permission to exist and to live free, not least from Moscow's tyranny. This stops here.

Great interview with many valuable insights from Mark Galeotti, even tho this is now nearly a year old. But please sack your video editor - the switching to the wrong camera view (of the interviewer while the guest was speaking) every few seconds was very distracting.

Interesting

RT and Sputnik must be telling the truth as they have been banned in France. Did she miss the bit where Bandera and co went on the rampage for the nazis and when WWII ended managed to escape to Canada only to start reviving Bandera's memory in 2014 in Kiev. Russia was forced to do the special military op as Ukraine had assembled a large army ( with the help of NATO/US) to invade and occupy the Donbass but Putin pre-empted them by a few days. Truth will out. Perhaps Jade needs to dig deeper and find out the west is lying through it's teeth.

Thank you for giving the opportunity to connect with life and beauty. I can hear the warmth and deep appreciation in the tone of your voice, when you tell about Bakhmut. Such a deep mourning.

They are a bad culture since centurys-just saying to save the person in Russia

Real situation between a Russian man and I: One day before invasion, he denied Russian troops near the frontier to invade. "All is NATO propaganda", he said. One day later, after invasion... all justifications. And, of course that kind of chorus line "Russia never attacked anybody". It would be funny if it wouldn't be so bloody and horrible.

I can't convince my Soviet grandma that UK was on our side in WW2 lol...

Do Russians conflate the Soviet Union with Russia the way the West often does neglecting that the USSR was made up of many nations, essentially the Warsaw Pact? I can’t understand how Russians can consider themselves victims when it’s Russia trying to control its neighbors. It’s so bizarre to think Russians are fighting the N.A..-zi? It’s as if we in the US would characterize that we are in a war against King George. It’s bizarre. Lastly, how do Russians approve of fighting and killing those whom they characterize as fellow Russians (Ukrainians)? They want to save them by killing them. If Russia wants to remain or become a strong respected sovereign nation again, then How can they fail to empathize with the Ukrainian’s wish to also be sovereign? Why feel they have to conquer their neighbor and impose Russian rule on them in order to “free” them?

I love the term "The Age Of Grass" to sum up premodern logistics.

Thanks Jade 😊

I would like to hear Dr McGlynn to a commentary on Putin Carlson interview,

One of the best interviews on the Ukraine war so far, and Owen's 25 years of working in Russia gives him an edge over other writers . Owen does not regard Putin as an imperialist about to attack Latvia, but he certainly is a polished murderer of Nemsov , Prigozin , Magnitsky etc, and his prisoners are subjected to terrible torture in his jails . I would like to have heard Owen's opinion on a peace deal, would Putin agree? I think not . So far his only peace deal is with Xi Jinping

if ruski are not guilty. who is then? who is at the front? who is supporting the dictatorship..? what a a load of b* this vid

I loved that Thank you very much. I will hear it as Podcast durin my Train Ride to work.

Jade is amazing. A TRUE expert. The host is annoying and clueless though.

Through the Rand corporation document from 2019 on Ukraine, we now know that the NATO war with Russia in Ukraine had been planned for decades despite what was promised at the time of German reunification and the closing of the Warsaw Pact. Who would dare to trust NATO again after this and after the deception with the Minsk agreement. If I were Putin, I would be pissed off at NATO.

More people should listen to her.

More Jade McGlynn. 👍

Really interesting discussion

Can i have a link to that telegram channels study?

Excellent, highly credible analysis. Thanks.

wow ... another wonderfully intelligent fascinating piece ... Just gets better and better

Calling on her vast experience of politics and the military🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If it involves a super weapon they sound as if they are going in a dangerous direction. It would be better if Stalin hadn't agreed with Hitler 1939.

everyone should listen to this amazing lady <3

Jade has certainly studied her subject. If Stalin had stood against Hitler in 1939 instead of collaborating with him there may have been a very different outcome to the war and less casualties in Russia. Russia may have invaded Crimea in 2014 but we are aware that this did not include the water supply. Russia was able to establish naval strength in the Black Sea. Both Russia and Ukraine were not in the frame of mind to have diplomatic negotiations which could have benefitted the population of both countries. A little give,a little take and calmness on both sides. They all shout at each other. Boundaries of behaviour, it's just give me or I will become furious. Russia does treat their own citizens in a tough way. In the east the lack of care medically and lack of transport, schools and care is so transparent.Russian people accept the corruption involved with daily life as normality. This comes from the top to the bottom. Sheer greed . The riches of Russia were seized by the few who squander it on ostentatious lifestyles.Ogligarchs. The vouchers given to factory workers in an attempt to give them something were sold because they needed food.They hadn't been paid. Investors were like sharks circling in the water. The government in collaboration with Ogligarchs became all powerful and Putin had the political power to put himself at the top of the pile. He had the chance to put Russia in a great place with a fairer division of wealth but Moscow is the jewel in the crown. A show city. Criminal Russian religion teachers hate and not love . The top dog benefits from the allowances in tobacco and cigarettes afforded to the church. Allowing an individual to be in power for years and years is dangerous. I wonder if Russian people will take matters into their own hands and take power. Start the country on a new footing and gradually spread the power and wealth of the country. Putin is so calm and hypnotic. He exudes confidence and is very convincing. I wonder how well informed he is. Russian culture is lovely in some things . The writers, music, dancers and art are beautiful. Designs can be fabulous. It's a shame Russia has become an enemy. The world would be a richer place if peace existed amongst us all. Not love maybe but at least understanding and acceptance of differences.

Ukraine was an important republic USSR. The late USSR was ruled on many levels by ukrainians. The Ukrainian SSR became a co-founder of the UN together with the USSR and others. Even this small part of history proves that Putin not only does not know the history of Russia and the USSR, but also works against russians and ukrainians, pushing them into an unnatural struggle for them, leading both peoples and states to destruction increasingly tearing states apart culturally. Putin is the preZident of North Korea not Russia nor Ukraine.
