“Enjoy,” is not quite the term I can use. Though sometimes you can be highly entertaining, in the right context. “Value,” “Benefit from,” “Learn from,” and feel a sincere gratitude for, certainly. But, let’s face it? We all WISH we, none of us, had to be here. But, it’s those who get up and go there, when so many of their peers would rather not, who could have a much easier life by just letting things roll over or by them, yet they stand up and are counted, without ever counting the cost . . . people like you . . . those people are so necessary now. You have my abiding thanks.
Please forgive and be patient with me if my gratitude may seem a little too effusive? It is sincere. I know I am not unique in feeling deeply disturbed by the images of a teenage girl, shell shocked, sitting in the wreckage of her home in which her parents were yet to be found in the rubble, several flaws above the street, looking down into the horrified faces of an equally shell shocked community below. There is nothing special about me. So, I know I must be speaking for so many when I say that the feeling of horror and impotence to intercede takes it’s emotional toll on so many thinking people.
This channel and others like it (though this channel has no other quite like it) provide an outlet for those of us who, “need,” to do more than simply offer money and write to their politicians. It is not just the relief of hearing adult, honest, realistic analysis, nor the reassurance of seeing by the list of your guests that there are so many people in real positions of authority working hard to remedy Ukraine’s plight. For me, at least, the soothing balm is that I can write a response and interact with other decent human beings. Even if I my comment overlooked or ignored and I simply screaming into the void, the mere act of expressing my feelings is a relief.
Every time I see an image, like the horrors of Buchar, or the recent bombings, I picture my home town, here in Scotland and see it vividly in my imagination. My wife admonishes me that I am making myself ill and she’s probably right, to an extent. But even in that, I know I am not alone. I cannot be the only person who sees their own children being raped, tortured, robbed and murdered by these undisciplined Russian marauders with a practically medieval attitude to warfare. There will be others who cannot get these thoughts and images out of their heads, who take them to their work, their play and are woken by them in the nights, surely? You simply cannot know that this is happening on your doorstep and not see how easily this could be you, or can you?
I promise I won’t, “outpour,” like this on a regular basis. But I thought it might be something you would want to know about what you’re doing for people that might not be obvious to you? From your enthusiasm, your deep knowledge, your sharing of your equally deep experience, and by interviewing people from all walks of life who can speak with experience and knowledge about this conflict, you are also having a MASSIVELY morale boosting effect on people like me; lifting my spirits and proving that humanity is not yet a lost cause.
I have tried to express something intangible (very poorly I fear) about the sociological, psychological value of your unique (long overdue) channel. It’s value cannot be calculated in gold.
For me, personally, I needed this. Thank you, from my soul, thank you.
@@ashroskell Very thoughtful comment. Thank you
Damn it, Paul, we are very lucky to have a friend like you. As a Ukrainian, I am eternally grateful to you for your help, for your coverage of the situation. You are one of Ukraine's best friends.
Really nice of you to say. Ukraine fights for us all
@@apmassaro3Can you please elaborate in what way does the Ukraine fight for let’s say Spain or the US or Iceland? And the answer cannot be “well if they aren’t fiighting for those countries per se, they are fighting for democracy” because people in for example Germany were against sending Leopards and the govmnt still sent them. However people want to look at it, now these countries are actively in this war, this is now a NATO v Russia war where the rest of the world that isn’t Europe & US looks at it and thinks that they are more alike the Russians than the West. This is now a problem for the West due to escalation.
Those countries you mentioned are all NATO members.
The majority of the German public is in favor of sending tanks to Ukraine.
Sending weapons to support a country in need is a part of the Human Rights Laws and the same laws assure that in this case the donating country does not become a party of the war.
It dosen't matter what opinion the russian goverment has in this case, they are not above the Human Rights Laws.
Most of the members of the UN have agreed on condemning the russian aggression against Ukraine.
@@tindobranic4791 Whatever, however when the rest of the world outside US & Europe looks at it, they should be very concerned about not wanting to help & support the west as to do otherwise would be to live in a world where every "rich & technologically advanced" "1st world nation" is rearming for war, not sure anyone in the south is educated enough, beyond "how much more money does dodgy ccp deals bring in that western transparent deals" to understand that this stuff only happened in world wars, and their countrys would get rolled over in one.
Paul, thank you for supporting Ukraine 💙💛
Your commitment and your analyses are impressive. I really enjoy to watch your channel. Greetings from Romania.
Another treat. Always enjoy.
Paul, thank you for your supporting Ukraine!
Thank you for your enthusiasm and support
Paul, thank you for keeping fighting with us! You keep doing and great job. We will never forget this.
Glad to see you, Paul ❤
Glad to have watched the new video!
Great content!
And thanks for supporting Ukraine)
You are totally right! Hope, German minds will change in more proactive way. Currently I am in Germany, so, smth in this society is really changing step by step.
Thank you very much for helping 💛💙
Oh, how I was looking forward to hearing your responses in the light of what Jake Broe (the marvellous CZcamsr who’s interview switched me on to you, sir) is referring to as, “Tanks Giving Day.” I knew that the implications of this decision are laden with a ton of complex baggage. I find I cannot even write a simple comment to summarise all the issues that spring to mind! But, that’s what you are for: to express that deeper, policy laden, analysis and to help us form our conclusions through a deeper knowledge.
Your value cannot be weighed in gold. I’m sincerely grateful for the fact that people like you are here at times like this. ✌️👍🇺🇦
As a German, I can tell you have done your research. You definetly know what you're talking about. Good analysis.
Thank you Paul for your great support of Ukraine.
Great discission! Looking forward to Germanys transformation !
I think you're right here 8:15 about Ukraine's natural resources and that Ukraine and Germany as well as other partners will benefit from investing in it as the war ends. Ukraine still has a large natural gas pipeline network which also makes this idea appealing, if we're talking gas here of course 😄
You output is huge video wise. Impressive.
God bless you!
I'm German. You're pretty much right. The energy prices rise.
This is not just due to the war and the shift to more expensive LNG gas. It's also because of the shift to renewables that is forced by government while still ending nuclear energy.
Since our geography is not well suited for renewables, there are huge additional costs to make them work. And we rely heavily on coal which is the only big backup energy source.
In EU the CO2 taxation is planned to increase further and all signs indicate that energy costs will rise further.
In my view, this will end the german industry model. We want to improve into a high tech industry but since US is already attraction chip giants and our education system struggles it's quite unclear if or how much we will succeed.
Greetings Pavlo!
Привіт!
Germany has natural gas in contrast to popular belief. The country can be self sufficient for about 50 to 60 years. German politicians don't want to see it extracted from the ground for two reasons: 1) They believe in climate change and this homegrown gas is the only gas they can guarantee to stay away from the atmosphere. 2) Germany exports far to much products and has therefore a huge trade imbalance. Therefore it needs to import something and that is energy and raw materials.
Great video Paul
Excellent video, Paul. Many people do not appreciate the radical changes in foreign policy that the last 12 months have brought upon Germany. There have been outcries of frustration about Germany's lack of immediate support for Ukraine. You have helped to clarify the process that is taking place within Germany. Thank you.
Many people talk about a deindustrialization of Germany these days. I think they fairly overestimate the influence of energy prices in the overall economy. Germany had already a strong performing economy before gas pipelines from Russia have been built and it will find alternative ways to run business again. This is not the first time a business model had to be changed and it won't be the last.
Great video Paul!
It might be a bumpy road for the necessary changes, but things will be much better in the long run.
Victory, Freedom, Full Reparations, and all of Ukraine's Land for Ukraine. 💙💛
So excited to see how Ukraine change when all it’s over and we join NATO and EU. Our IT sector already strong, good land, intelligent workforce, resources, many other opportunities for business investment different kind. All this will be possible and reliable because society will push government to eliminate corruption as much as possible to have a strength of the law and democracy as top priorities 😊
I think Ukraine will do spectacularly after the war no matter what happens. I think tourism alone will lift Ukraine to new heights, as Ukraine went from a country few knew anything about or even heard of, to a country many now admire and are learning about for the first time and seeing on TV how beautiful Kiev looks.
The only thing Ukraine really needs to get a grip on is corruption. I think Zelenski is doing a good job at weeding that out, but the culture itself must change! So many sacrificed to save Ukraine. Every corrupt act, no matter how small, must be viewed as disrespecting those who gave their life. After all this suffering it simply can not be tolerated and must be stomped out ruthlessly.
@@a5cent Completely agree with you, wish that time would come soon and thank you and everyone who supports 🇺🇦 I know how tough situation with economic everywhere, grateful for each cent from tax payers pockets and do everything possible as individual to prevent dirty hands from stealing it.
and gorgeous wife candidates ....
Thank you Paul for your huge support of Ukraine, we appreciate it
I really hope Germans (I am one of them) get over a lazy complacent attitude, face reality, and face that they have to put in a huge amount of work to induce change.
Germany is also allowing USA to send Abrahams tanks! Skillful of Scholz/Germany. Might turn out to be the best for Ukraine.
Then again I mostly appreciate USA for being able to change their own decisions to enable or force Scholz, depending on how you se it.
The thing is. Who do you think is paying the bills in the EU? EU does not work without german money......
That doesn’t necessarily mean Germany deserves or needs the unfair advantage of corrupt energy. Let’s build a better EU on equal terms!
German position is very frustrating, thanks for video Paul!
2 videos, 1 day!
Birthday present for Zelensky
Boost volume please
Renewables are definitely the long term solution and the potential for cheap energy is much higher than what oil companies and their beneficiaries wants you to believe. Short term, restarting nuclear is a better solution than more coal plants. The risk for tsunamies in Germany is exaggerated!
100%
❤️❤️❤️💪🏻🇺🇦
Germany recognized reality now, 100% 😉
Get UA into EU and nato as some point.
Germany doesn't want nuclear reactors on their soils fine.
UA could build new plants and export cheap energy. Win win on all fronts.
Absolutely a no brainer to get UA in.
I'm sure the French happily help build some after there commitment end 2022 to rebuilding Ukraine.
@@murphy7801What?
„Wandel durch Handel“ or „change through trade“ sounded good back then, but it had one big flaw. Who is changed?
your mic isnt working very well.
Your audio needs turning up a bit. It is better than on the video with the Ukrainian soldier but still low.
The trans Atlantic deal previously had all sorts of sub clauses that would been terrible for nationalised services and great for American corporations.
People in the EU see USA people as allies, it's government as an ally except when it's been influenced by corporations. USA corporations are not allies, they regularly flaunt our laws and violate our rights (USA citizens too). In the EU we don't want more of that.
There is more logistics in Germany than industry. The future of Germany will not be changed with natural gas prices that’s why low income increases faster every year and the low wages are even better than before. Germany has the population, the experience and the regulations that other counties don’t.
!!!!!!!
not even Ukraine wants to get away from Russian gas
Take all correct facts and make the most wrong analysis out of them - this is the art of Paul Massaro and Peter Zeihan.
Russian gas was not cheap. That is a common misconception.
Thanks Paul! Information I never thought about before last March. I really enjoy your podcasts. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 Glory to the Heroes 🇺🇦
Thank you for supporting Ukraine!
With both China and Russia the German State and industry was feeding the 30’ long crocodile that took their snacks. However, both China and Russia was always going to consume the complacent Germans.
All Germany has to do is look at Pakistan’s situation and see the end result of doing business with China. The Russians are very much the same leading countries engaged with them to destruction.
In Germany, what is good for Volkswagon is good for the country. Follow the money back to Scholtz through his rich friends and the story will be told I think.
How about, just a thought here... but let's all encourage the EU to submit to an independent audit of all of its financials? And the USA as long as we're fantasising. Wouldn't that be exciting?
Corruption is as corruption does. heh
Germany 🇩🇪 having trouble breaking up with it’s narcissistic boyfriend.
🇺🇦🫂
Ist FUECHT....
Brexit. If English is your only language you shouldn't phantasize what the EU should or shouldn't do
💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛
Germany pretend to be the EU leader but living here now it seems their leadership is in the past. Wish the whole Europe all the best but it seems that the future of the EU is the Eastern Europe
Wow 🙄
Can you please tell us more about the trade volume of the US with China, India, Arabs,…
Where do microchips, cheap labor, plastic toys, oil, cloth, rare earth,… come from?
After watching into the mirror, please prove me wrong in another video.
I‘d appreciate.
Germany can get gas from Ukraine eventually.
WRONG!
Everytime everyone has to pile up on top of Germany with all their weight for weeks and months, to squeeze even a smallest piece of aid, and as soon as they do finally manage to get something out of it, which is always with grat delay and often too late to be helpful, Germany presents itself like that great and merciful benefactor, bestowing divine blessings on ungrateful Ukraine that won't appreciate the grandeur of Germany's generosity, won't say "please" and "thank you" often enough and, God knows why, won't stop calling for more...
German is back to their origin 1939.
