This talk was recorded at Stanford Reunion Homecoming 2023, an event presented by the Stanford Alumni Association.
A very good talk, from a highly knowledgeable and experienced scholar and practitioner in diplomacy.
Aloha 🇺🇦🙏🏼🤙🏼
That's a brilliant speech that I have liked very much. It's a piece of art. Thank you! Best regards from your #1 fan in Zaragoza (Spain) 🇪🇸🇪🇺❤🇺🇦🇺🇸
Wonderful video. We need to do everything we can to protect Ukraine and help them win. Slava Ukraine!
Heroyam Slava!
Thank you Michael for always fighting the good fight! Myself and many others share your fight and support everything you do. Slava Ukraini!
Thanks a lot 🇺🇦
Thrilling news about possibility of building Stanford-like university in Ukraine. I'd suggest Sevastopol as climate there is mild and there will be lots of vacant land after Black Fleet is kicked out of there.
You are absolutely right. Democracy must not fail.
On a different note. I am looking very much forward to the many universities that will be built in Ukraine. I could offer more predictions, but this as a basis needs to sink in. Then the expanse of it can be alluded to.
ty btw
well said
10 mins is too short to explain in full detail, but perfect for ordinary himan to listen.
Thank you.
Powerful.
Thank you. Democracy must not fail.
Thank YOU for spreading knowledge and creating hope for an Ukranian victory. HOPE 🌱💕☉🕊
Great points... anyone who doesn't get it by now simply doesn't want to get it. It's obvious.
It's so important that when Ukrainians have regained their country which of course includes The Crimea that normal relationships are not remade with Russia. Normal relations can only be commenced after Russia has paid full reparations to Ukraine plus they have had normal and fair democratic elections . Putin must also have had to been tried in the Hague along with all others in his regime for war crimes. Until all these criteria are met Russia must stay a pariah and be a lesson to all other dictatorships that aggression will not pay.
Absolutely. After Putin violated the various accords he made with Ukraine, including the Minsk and Budapest accords, he has lost all credibility. Anyone engaging in negotiations with him is worse than Chamberlain.
good luck with that
A small addition to this great video. I live in Ukraine and have many friends and relatives in Poland. And they are really scared because of the possibility of russia winning and a new war in Poland. They are so scared that some of them already bought apartments in other countries in western Europe to have a plan B. When I speak to them I understand that many people in Europe will be ready to negotiate with russia (and China) and do anything to avoid a new war. And I bet it will lead to a huge political changes in EU because of the growth of people who will vote for politics who will make a new peace with russia (and China). And it's really hard to predict the consequences for EU-US relationships but I think pro-russian and pro-China EU is not what US would like to have. My understanding of this situations is having Ukraine not occupied by russia is good for all democratic countries.
Good. Conversation! How will the West. Win!🎈
Amazing speech. Thank you Michael ❤
Think Michael meant our modern history--say, post 1900. Don't think UK or Mexico were exactly dictatorships.
They were dictatorships when the USA fought them. The UK became a democracy only in 1832, 20 years after their last war with the USA, and Mexico had relapsed into dictatorship in 1846 under Santa Anna. It premanently became a democracy in 1855.
It would be interesting to map how fast dictatorial countries defeated by the USA became democracies, as there does seem to be a correlation.
👏👍
Maybe you want to tell that to Henry KISSINGER who, with OBAMA , moved the center of gravity from the U.S. to Asia.
The near future might show if this gentleman speaks out of facts or out of wishes…
This amoeba so called Professor Michael Mcfaul is what is wrong with US foreign policy. Ex US Ambasador in Russia now negates he has something to do withh faled recomendations for President of Ukraine Volodimir Zelenski. He negates due to failure of Ukrainian/US/West side to win war against Russia. And this is shamefull , since his recomendations leg to insane number of dead and maimed Ukrainian soldiers in less than 2 years. He said and i quote " I am just a proffessor that is far from everything, very far" end of quote. This is scandalous since he "forgot " he is HEAD of "the expert" group that developes and provides "recomendations" for Presiden of Ukraine Zelenski....Group is even called "Group Yermak -McFaul" .And Zelenski has met with this clown 4 months ago in Kyev.... But since all failed and so called "experts" cant lie about it they now run from sinking ship like all rats do....criminal enterprise.
!!!
Bad u.s policy thats all he will not tell that
liberal hegemony policy failed again and again but he just wont give up
agree, we have to support Ukraine, it's much cheaper than sending our people in order to defend NATO countries, cause this is what's a stake
Спасибо, профессор МакФол.
Майкл! Пока не поздно, остановите эти выступления сейчас! Иначе вы станете посмешищем во всем мире, а ваш отпуск будет в Тегеране! Майкл! Миша! 🙏
Zelenskyy is running out of cannon fodder. Western allies are running out of ammo. Zelenskyy offensive proved to be an epic unmitigated disaster . Russians rejected any freeze of the conflict. Putin spokesperson said quite bluntly that all Russian goals had to be met (denazification, demilitarization and a neutral status of Ukraine). At this point unconditional surrender is the only practical solution for Ukraine. Hitler's Germany also refused to admit defeat until Hitler killed himself, then Keitel signed unconditional surrender.
If Putin wins in Ukraine, he will attack NATO countries."
But if Ukraine becomes a NATO member, Putin will not attack Ukraine because he would be afraid of attacking a NATO country. Lol😅
Putin will attack NATO countries only if he wins Ukraine.
UKRAINES WINNING! 😂🤡
Ukraine is winning. Really is that simple. This is why Ukraine in fact *IS* being supported...to Victory as appears now imminent and beyond even that. Of course in the alternative support Israel if you can't handle Ukraine Support...what could go wrong with that! I know i support Israel at the expense of all life existing on the entire Planet and love it! *DON'T YOU?*
How is Ukraine winning?
@@felipe-vibor its winning so hard its still begging for money and weapons from us ahah.
Sure - having pregnant women on the frontline is a sure indication that Ukraine's winning.
As are the half a million+ KIA and MIA figures
As is the civil war inside the Nazi government - Elensky vs his Defence Sec
