- “If Russia loses the war, then whoever replaces Putin is not going to be able to hold onto 11 timezones of nation. Manchuria was only stolen from China 200 years ago. They want Manchuria back and they’re going to get it.”
Diane Francis discusses the fragile relationship between Russia and China, and how "China will pounce" when Putin is replaced.

Putin opened the ultimate can of worms by invading Ukraine and eventually it will backfire spectacularly.
Tiny Ukraine didn't even have a military 3 years ago and they've turned the russian army into a complete joke
Russia has lost at this point. Who would have thought tiny Ukraine, which didn't even have a military 3 years ago, would defeat russia. I'm not sure putin should have screamed the whole "Kyiv in THREE DAYS!" bit🤣
Why? Because you girls are going to throw your tampons at Russia?
@@dpelpalUkraine had the largest, best equipped military in Europe, prior to the invasion. Also 8 years of NATO integration and training. 2-3 brigades per year 😂
Or not
Return the children of Ukraine!!!
As soon as ukraine stop being a warzone...
When Russian troops go home, children of Ukraine do too
Russian Trolls … the lowest of the low
1975 the US conducted operation baby lift out of Saigon where 3.000 babies were airlifted to the US. These babies didn't even come with names. So these now adults have no idear who their parents are, who there families are.
On the very first flight the rear door of a C-130 failed and 80 babie in cardbourd boxes flew up to heaven. Those babies are buried namless in a communal grave in Saigon. Victims of America's last bombing run...?
@@samsungtap4183 so what MAO killed 1000's thousands of babies with famine and millions of his fellow country men what your point?
Times Radio is really some of the best content on the internet!
Yup agreed and just subscribed and shared this interview!
Always a pleasure to listen to someone with a clear vision of the situation.
Diane Francis always impressive acumen , no nonsense 👏 Have her on MORE!
Yes, please!
But please work on her sound settings. It is fairly consistent in her videos that her volume is way off balance.
no, she's lying about France doing more than Germany for instance. Either she doesn't know what she's talking about, or she does know and is just lying.
@@lqr824 Macron specifically has said clearly to put boots on Ukraine...What else do you want to show leadership?...and its better for Germany to share leadership in that way...
This lady is excellent and should be on a lot more. She knows what she is talking about and frames it perfectly.
She is broke with the reality if she believes Macron is the leader of Europe :)) The french president is not the leader of its own country. The only leader of Europe is USA lol.
Thank you Diane Frances, I am only wishing this interview was on a MARJOR TV NEWS SHOW, NOT JUST YOU TUBE,
💯 mainstream media PICK THIS UP!!!!!
Share it and the word will spread 💜
Agree 100%
This interview is dire and needs to be aired all over the world.

Diane Francis is a brilliant thinker and observer. Please do more interviews with her. Thank you.
Don't forget the Scandinavian countries are also serious about the defense of Europe from Russia.
Have they started a "go fund me" yet?
What about the defence of the US vassals from the US that already has army bases in most countries & is their de facto ruler.
RuZZia is gambling everything to try to win, they will likely be sent back to the stone age the way they are neglecting their infrastructure and services.
The public servants are government malicia instead of supporting the people they restrain them. Such a great society held down where Putin believes they belong 😢
RuZZia is gambling everything to win the war and will likely return to the stone age ignoring the maintenance of infrastructure and services. The good people are being held down where Putin believes they should be 😢.
Oh we Americans know that. Rock on.
China.....forget Taiwan, let's take Moscow 😂
China doesn't want Moscow
It does want Eastern Russia though for the natural resources
Manchuria....whatever...
good luck with that you woke man or are you a woman? a fish??lol
Vladivostok
Does Putin see the funny side of this saga?
China will take MORE than Manchuria... they will take enough to ensure their claim to arctic resources. Besides, if Russia is having trouble with security in the west and it affects residents east of the Urals, i would think that under the auspices of the Shanghai COOP agreements, Russia would FULLY UNDERSTAND that China has to "protect the Chinese speaking citizens and residents in these areas that were Chinese in the past.
Diane Francis does make and hold reasoned considered opinion, somebody who actually talks sense through being well informed - refreshing!
Professor John Mearsheimer, Colonel Douglas McGregor and Scott Ritter just to name a few are all truly informed and would disagree with your assesment.
@@jimbrown4456 So what? Everybody’s allowed to disagree even when they’re wrong……
@@jimbrown4456not just informed, but actually from a military backround, unlike this clueless old duffer….
Diane Francis pretty much nails it. Impressive woman.
Just call her "Miss Five Percent." She embarrassed herself.
I didn't watch. It was her voice and the rag of a face which put me off.
Agree. Brilliant woman!

I dont buy Tesla because of Elon Musks support to Russia, and I hesitate to buy Chinese products for the same reason. I say hesitate because Chinese products are hard to avoid, since most of the products I can buy in Danish shops are made in China. But what I can do is to avoid sites like Wish and other Chinese net shops.
👍👍👍
I support your decision..Elon has no friends. He is not to be trusted.
I've had the same issue in British Columbia, Canada with products from China being so abundant. A year ago in Costco I bought a can of peaches which was clearly marked a product of British Columbia, when I opened it, I noticed in very small print canned in China - I threw them out.
Don't buy Tesla stock. There is a chance for other companies to totally clean their clocks with new tech with better Battery tech. If Tesla is up to speed they may adapt and be competitive or they may be too committed to the Lithium battery infrastructure and will suffer. They don't have the Government funding Development like they once had.
@@franceyneireland1633 They shipped the Peaches to China? What brand?
Absolutely agree with the lady. The Chinese have NOT forgotten Outter Manchuria. All talk on Taiwan is a bluff (at this stage). Outter Manchuria is the short-term prize. The Chinese are waiting for the right time.
China has already printed the map with manchuria incorporated back into China, I guess putlier has seen that map yet 😂
But as she said, China speaks against the invasion of sovereign territory and 200 years is about as long as my own country has been occupied and called Australia. As she said it may be done by other means of course.
@@ruthwhall3020 he hasn't, but I have...it's the only map used in their schools
End 2022, start 2023 I thought China eyeballing Manchuria, Far East and might size opportunity for it in the coming year, two years.
At this momment idk. Looks more China milking out RF on economic level. Would they trade it out... to avoid or before a RF collapse, break up. 🤔
A lot of resources for China to conquer there. Even Vladivostok has a chinese name.
I very much appreciate hearing from an expert and less from politicians on world affairs. Thank You.
Where’s the expert?
Truth is, we may already have reacted too late. Ukraine has lost a lot of fighters.
And the ones left have little will to fight left.
@@georgev8590 😅the Putinists will pay, Ukraine has been massively boosted by US Aid.
May have? Ukraine is completely lost already. They have no more men. I know men have little to no value to us westerners, but the reality is that men are needed to fight wars and they have none left capable of doing so. I will remember this personally, how little value we have in coming wars. People think we grow on trees.
Powerful and informed commentary by Diane Francis. let's hear more from her in the near future!
Who?
@@kennethkeen1234 Exactly....first time I'd heard of her.

First time I heard Diane Francis. She has a very well balanced and in-depth understanding of the geopolitics and situations of the subject matter. Very well worth hearing from Diane Francis and her opinions backed up by facts. Opinions and ideas not mentioned by other commentators. And well done to Times Radio for bring Diane to our attention.
Refreshing to listen to an interesting and accurate conversation on this topic.
Having served in Vietnam and lived in China and Europe for several years, I am very much impressed with Diane Francis and her grasp of geopolitical world affairs. From this moment on, I will be following her much more closely.

This is interesting as historically Russia pivots from west to east to west when they get their snouts bruised. The idea that in a pivot they get a rug pull is somewhat satisfying.
Their army sure is a joke lol. I'd say their navy is too, but they have no navy left after Ukraine destroyed it lol

This is why we must help Ukraine and stand tall against dictators. If Russia is evicted in Ukraine then China will have a serious discussion with Russia. China invested a lot sustaining Russia’s vanity war.
Not to mention it will make China more reluctant to invade Taiwan
And what do you think a desperate struggle between a bankrupt Russia and failing china looks like?
There are many eyes watching how Ukraine plays out

Sun Tzu basically says whatever your situation, deceive your enemy. If strong, appear weak. If weak, appear strong. If you have a strong ally, appear fractured.
Im concerned this is taking the world to a very bad place.
Thank you.
For this report
Now the USA and Europe are more firmly committed to Ukraine, with a combined aid package of 110 billion, Russia will not win anything in Ukraine. They may get Donbass as part of the peace deal, but nothing else. Russia will lose so much more than it could ever gain.
Not one iota of Ukrainian soil. We should not reward Russia for its bad behavior. They get no land.
Just go back to Russia and stay out of Ukraine.
So in other words Russia will have won as they will have achieved the objectives they wanted, that’s a win.

How could China supply troops on the island of Taiwan, with the US Pacific fleet below them, and air force above?
If Putin continues in Ukraine, he will lose Siberia to China. China will get that oil and gold back.
@@biblehistoryscience3530 I think Martin is talking about Russia-owned Manchuria (as per the video) not Taiwan.

Thank you so much Diane! You are great!
This was a beautiful interview, great lady’s ❤
Manchuria (Vladivostok) has vast amounts of water which is short supply in northern China where cities are sinking because of drawing off ground water.
Putin be Worried be very Worried
Not to mention that most of China's water is too polluted for human use of any kind.
Lake Baikal with its huge freshwater supply is Lebensraum. All of the territory south of it was Chinese. China must control Lake Baikal's entire watershed to ensure the cleanliness of the lake's water for the 1.5 billion Chinese people.
Furthermore China would like to have a buffer-zone around the heart land, and the Sakhalin island has one of the largest coal reserves in Asia and the world.
And a few years ago China tried to position themselves as a "Near-Arctic State"
One of the most upbeat interviews I've heard about the relationship between China and Russia, and ultimately, the long-term future for Ukraine. Let's hope Europe really steps up and funds Ukraine not just to resist, but WIN the war! Good job Kate.
I can’t help but remember that time in the early 70s when Mao played the America card on the Kremlin when the least expected it. The members of the Politburo must have shat their pants in unison.
Axis Sally - 😂😂😂😂😂😂What a pile of 🗣💩
Unfortunately, these ladies have no clue what they are talking about.
They are either delusional or just towing the party line and blowing sunshine up your asr.
This $61 Billion tax payer package they are celebrating will do NOTHING to help Ukraine, except line the pockets of defense contractors and politicians.
Ukraine is running out of troops and no amount of money is going to fix that.
Instead trying to negotiate some kind of deal last year or late 2022, when Ukraine had some leverage, the main stream. media and politicians decided to continue down this path waiving their Ukrainian flags as is they are cheering on their favorite football team, while the Ukrainian’s are sent to the meat grinder.
Leading to over 500,000 Ukrainian casualties and imminent collapse of the Ukrainian army and any leverage Ukraine has now vanished.
I don’t know what’s more disturbing, the main stream media’s propaganda and the people who buy their BS, or the American politicians who are fine with sacrificing Ukraine to line their pockets.

She is a Putin stooge. Straight up. Anyone who believe her bullsh*t is a fool.
Diane Francis is providing clarity and relevance. Please again.
A poison dwarf you mean like Tokyo Rose or Axis Sally
What does she have to say about the collapse of the US $$ -
Is ut going to happen ?
not really. I didn't know the LePen stuff so i googled it, and what did i find? She got a loan from a Russian Bank before the invasion and has recently paid it back, is that the same as Putin giving her money?. I am a Canadian. If i get a loan from an American bank does that make me a Biden supporter? also she has retracted her support of Putin since the invasion happened, I think I have said a couple of nice things about Putin during the Beslan Massacre, does that make me a Putin supporter in 2024? if she lied or misled about that stuff, what else is she lying/misleading about?
Are you serious? I hope to God not. Use what God gave you upstairs.
This is a most interesting and important broadcasting of information and enlightening lightning about this conflict between China and Russia the way the speaker presents angles within Russia about Putin like the drafting of the Eastern Asian Russian ethnic groups into Putin's military to fight this Ukrainian War and I'm sure none too happy about doing it.
Extremely enlightening .Thank you for posting

No appeasement of Putin!!!
Will China remain alone among its enemies? This means that it will be captured and colonized by the West, and divided. He needs to intervene in the war in Ukraine, help Russia, help Iran with weapons, money in the Middle East in order to survive.
Just wait till trump gets in (if he gets in). All this will change rapidly as he emboldens Russia and abandons Europe. Comrade Trump is even worse than comrade Carlson because he has power. Carlson only has influence over trumpers and some GOP cult members
That’s pretty huge saying Schroeder and Merkel were in Putin’s pocket.
Those are our worst two chancellors,
they made russia so military strong to attack Ukraine,
the first one sold his soul to become russian oligarch.
The other has let millions of Islamists into the country, claiming that they are our specialists. Now, almost 15 years later, those people still don't work and will never work and are producing children as do-nothings for Generations.
So was Trump, still is.
In retrospect the Ostpolitik was a mistake. We were trying to pacify Russia by buying gas, but that didn't work.
Gep Schroeder was personally enriched. I hadn’t heard anything about Merkel before this video.
