      Why Russia stands for the family, for religion, traditional values. It stands against wokism against same sex marriage, against changing the sex of your children. Against the cashless society so you can be monitered from the cradle to the grave. Russia stands against the globalists and their cloud economies. Dont go to your local shop..order on line

    When it comes to Bucha all you need to remember is that was their marching orders. That's not war fatigued soldiers who have been shell shocked, nor conscripts scared at their own shadow. These were the marching orders from the start.

    • @samsungtap4183
      @samsungtap4183 Před 4 měsíci

      Why aren't the forensics from Bucha released. Because these people died when Ukraine shelled Bucha as the Russians were leaving. Next day these unfortunates were thrown out of a slow moving truck after their corpes had been doctored. They even know who did this black flag opperation...elements of the Cracken Battalion. All the Russian soldiers in Bucha were interegated extensively by the Russian inteligence agencies. Believe me the truth is well known.

    Forgetting her name, the head of RT said they’d retrain the brains of willing Ukrainians and eliminate the unwilling. Now, she’s not Putin, but she is influential and speaks the mind of Russian leadership. Her words don’t surprise me. But, when we talk about Ukrainian suffering, giving Ukraine to Russia is just not an option.

    If Ukraine wins this, it will not be through a military victory or any significant military advance. It'll be won through the collapse of russian economy so it can no longer fuel its military. We are well on the way to that happening. To say this has been a stalemate for a year is simply to not understand what progress towards victory actually looks like in this war. Ukraine is well on the way to that victory and should be helped over the last hurdles. The clock is against the russians not Ukraine.

      Some think that Russians are ready for a long run in this war up to 10 years. And could be true because globalization helps them to run their country. In a real war you have to surround the enemy and cut the economical ties. With Russia is quite hard to do it.

    Thank God we have a Silicon Curtain! Where but a beautiful intellect can such guests be found and interviewed with such skill?
    This channel is an OASIS of SANITY in a world gone mad! Bless you Jonathan..x
    In response to Scott's request I would say that this war has moved me more deeply than any in my life. I have never witnessed such barbarity on the part of an industrial nation, the scale of the massacres, the sheer number of rapes and the casual acceptance of torture, the unlawful imprisonment of civilian police and the rape and kidnap of hundreds of thousands of children mark this as the most barbaric and horrific conflict of our age. I used to be a man of peace and sought peace above all, but I am a changed man. Deep down Russia has shown me that there are many fates worse than death and I pray to God for the safety of the stolen children and their eventual return and give praise to Ukraine for her resolve and her heroism apparent on every level.
    I wonder where we would be without Ukrainian bravery and I do not like the picture my mind takes me to. Slava Ukraine and kindest regards to both Jonathan and Scott..COMPELLING stuff!

    With regard to the closing comments, its also telling that Poland and the Baltic states who have recent history with Russia are pretty determined NOT to fall back into the Russian sphere. Any country that could get into NATO or the EU pretty much has or is trying to. You don't need to be a genius to figure it out.

      Yes, one would think that russians maybe should start to wonder why it is other peoples don't want to be ruled by them. Somehow they don't seem to do that.
      This podcast has an interview with James Sherr, around 4 months ago. He lays out how the russians see the world and how what we see currently fits into Russias history (spoiler: It has always been like this since a long time ago).

  • @ianespingswanson
    @ianespingswanson Před 4 měsíci +4

    This has been very interesting. Thank you. My greatest fear, however, is while there is no winning in this pointless war, Russia may not lose it. I sense Ukraine is in a worse place than the Internet wants to acknowledge. My fear is irrespective of Russian losses, pressure from foreign parties, or even the trickle of military support from the West, Ukraine could never inflict enough damage to move the Russian people. They have a long history of enduring incomprehensible hardship for leadership they praise in the streets and dispise in their homes. I refuse to believe all these stupid polls saying Russians support the war and so on. That's nonsense. I believe they will say anything and do anything to avoid getting hassled or worse. Russia is a dismal place and life there is extremely bleak, but the average Russian doesn't seem to care and only wants to get on with their lives. They don't care about each other all that much because it's hard enough trying to get by yourself without sticking your neck out for someone esle. The decadency of the West is code for "the higher living standard social mobility" of the West. Ukraine can't fly a drone in to social complacency.

  • @max.fleming1045
    @max.fleming1045 Před 4 měsíci +4

    Very in-depth & much appreciated conversation, so thank you both.
    I would however like to pose a few questions and observations to you both, Jonathan and Scott ?.
    I've recently seen two different in-depth stories/ studies into illegal immigrants into the US. It appears that a significant majority of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border from Mexico into the US are in fact Chinese nationals?. How are tens of thousands of Chinese affording such an expensive journey halfway round the world only to walk across the Mexico American border illegally?. I smell a rat !!!.
    My second question is regarding Putin's/ Russians ability to continue this war long term?. I hear so many pundits saying time favours Russia, but I question that ?. I don't actually think time does favour Russia. Think about the world Russians lived in just over two years ago. They had access to all the technology and luxuries available to anyone anywhere in the west & now that's gone & their basic needs are now nearly double the price. Eggs just an example!. No more IKEA, Macdonald's, BMW's etc. now the best quality china has to offer heading to the west & the rubbish quality heading to Russia.
    Something else i wonder is the real reason Putin hasn't called up a new mobilization?. Maybe it's a bit to do with his election, but i suspect there's a much bigger problem ?. I don't think the Russian economy can afford it. After the last mobilization, mass exodus & ramping up military production, the only people in Russia unemployed are literally the unemployable. Retirees etc. those newly mobilized will have to leave a job at a supermarket or restaurant or ammunition factory etc. millions are already freezing because basic services have been so severely compromised. Strip even more whilst at the same time massively expanding the already too large military budget & Russia will not survive that ?. I don't actually agree with the assumption that time is on russias side. I think the Russian economy & Russian civilians will power well collapse long before Ukrainian defence lines?.
    Ukraine doesn't need another offensive. What they need is to hold the difference lines and bleed Russia dry. Russia can only wage this war as long as it can afford to. A few more refineries off line in Russia and that may well be the breaking point?.

      The problem is, countries like these end up totally incapable to win a war. Very much like France in 1940. To win a war you've better turn into a dictatorship for the duration, or else woe of you, you will have no chance.

      problem is there was no right voice until the left bombardment of the 70s dictated the forming of right media.
      all the largest media is left, all tvs news leans left, NY Times, Wash Post, Chicago Tribune, LA Times the largest papers all lean left.
      Hollywood leans left.
      Sadly when there is no balance then you get what you have.

    so many exceptional quotes in that that it should deserve at least hundred times the attention (and as always with Scott Lucas - a better sound quality).
    Just the right diet, at a time,
    - where the former beacon of freedom dropped out of supporting democracies and complying with multilateral frameworks,
    - where the actual chains of reasons and effects gets twisted,
    - where - as an outstandingly visible example - a Kremlin-leaning and certainly Kremlin founded, likely soon the government running, party in Austria changed its Grafik design further to now not only using RuZZian colors, but as well literally the RuZZian flags in form of power symbolizing flames,
    but where as well, when thinking things further,
    Ukraine very well might have found a lever to get RuZZia to the brink and safe the rest of the free world from it.
