ReplyMeanwhile Europe doesn’t care. The Czechia leader has mocked the US. Germany and France are talking to Russia. Western Europe need energy security, not dirty oil tankers filled with tar sands goop from the US. Cutting off Russia from the Dollar is also hilarious, it’ll just accelerate an alternative to the US dollar and Swift banking system. Also good luck freezing Russian money in London and Germany etc. The UK government won’t dare let that happen, neither will any other country that’s reliant on Russian money. As for cyber attacks, the US use Israel for that. Of course I doubt they’d bring that up on an American saccharin talk show. But anyway, ‘the West’ (America), seems to ignore the fact that the Ukraine is soaked to the brim with neo nazis. Their military is literally neo nazi and fascistic in nature. Their symbol is inspired by the nazis. You cannot ignore this fact, no matter how awkward it is.
ReplyDo sanctions matter much when most of Vlad’s revenue is off the books anyway? He’ll get what he needs one way, or the other.
ReplyGod help us…war is a chess game played by political despots. Meanwhile, the MIC drowns in profit.
Replywhat a delightful and insightful guest
ReplyI want us to to do the reverse with North Korea. Fly in and drop A LOT of money and destroy their economy
Replywell, thank you for “…crash them…” replica… This is exactly what we, Ukrainians, want to hear standing on the protection of Western Civilized World… looks like it’s not so civilized as my personal opinion was…
ReplyStephen does great interviews on serious subjects. Thank you sir!
ReplyThank You US for disarming Ukraine in 1994 together with UK and F*cking russia by “Budapest Memorandum” agreement. We are so f* grateful that it’s even hard to describe and defend ourselves
ReplyDo not believe anything that the Russians and Putin say, agree to, or sign. Their history shows that they are not to be trusted. The USA needs to show some serious push-back, or else Ukraine will become the next Crimea…
Replywarmest greetings from Ukraine, I guess… so “crash them” you say, right?
ReplyDoesn’t this feel more and more like a season of The Blacklist?
ReplySo weird that US president Biden even threatened to use military force against a NATO ally when it comes to shutting down the Nord Stream gas pipelines to Germany but never mentions the huge US oil imports from Russia, let alone suggesting a boycott (or sinking some tankers with military force.)
ReplyScared about WWIII but she fione, doe.
ReplyPutin is a liar 101. Putin is not afraid of NATO. There is no logic to it so don’t even give any air to that lie.
ReplyPutin has mother Ukraine by the back if the hair and has been raping her for decades. He is telling Ukraine to love him the way he demands or he will kill her and all that she loves.
He already took Ukraine’s daughter Crimea and has her son Donbas by the balls. Time to start hurting Putin like he will know without question.
4:28 Stephen got it wrong here. Ukraine might want to join NATO all they want but as long as one member state objects it wont happen and there is clearly no appetite for having such a great problem case inside the club. besides being one of the most corrupt countries in the northern hemisphere, unwilling to even initiate some of the reforms agreed to in the 2015 Minsk protocol, almost half of the Ukrainian population wouldnt even mind being governed by Moscow instead of Kiev. so why stick our neck out for this basket case?
