More lies on lies, the real objective here doesn't appear to be forcing Russia to agree to anything. Seems to be far more about finding outlandish nonsense the empire can use to rob the vassals blind.
It was very clear at the end of 2022 that the sanctions were never going to work, military victory by Ukraine was also a laughable idea.
Hence what America has actually achieved is to make a ton of money selling weapons, grab European energy business and start the process of stealing European manufacturing.
Middle east seems to follow exactly the same pattern, with the war against Iran.
Russians and Iranians are not our enemies. They are people just like you and me. They are our brothers and sisters.
We must strip the psychopathic ruling class of its power once and for all. Then these wars, too, will stop immediately.
Neither Ukrainians nor Russians want this war. The only ones profiting from all these wars are a tiny group that has amassed unimaginable power and wealth: the psychopathic ruling class.
I don't know where you are from BUT you are wrong. In 2022, of course Most Russians did not want war BUT unlike Americans they were fully aware of what was happening to their family members who lived in The Donbass region of Ukraine and also in Crimea. Public opinion in Russia demanded their Govt. stop the slaughter of civilians in Donbass. Now since NATO has turned to killing Russian civilians and using Ukrainian Nazi's to do it, they want the enemy crushed and defeated and a side note if you hear a british accent claim to know Russian thinking it is a lie.
OH FFS Glenn, this is the most ridiculous interview ever. You call this a Russian "specialist" . This clown says " Elenski" knows alot about how Russia works! Glenn, you know better than all this BS. This brit is definitely speaking from british intelligence. Shame on you Glenn
I am sorry to disagree. The only way you could consider this as "interesting" is if you believe the nonsense that the British mainstream media and the Jewish owned US media print. I stopped after 10 minutes when he declared that Putin is indeed a 1 man dictator and he said "Elensky knows because he was a comedian in Russia" And then this guy began talking about Putin's approval rates falling because of these civilian murders by NATO/CIA/UK. Over the course of the entire SMO President Putin went from 80% approval to a horrifying low of 73% (LOL) The UK, Germany and France could add all 3 "leaders" together and not come close to that.
I don't disagree with you. A dwarf comedian robbing a nation and hiding the weath in Israel is not to be respected. But it's still interesting to hear the other sides properganda.
I think Putin is doing the correct thing , winning and not falling for the trap of expanding the war. Only a physipath would want total war

Hi,
thanks for your feedback.
I think, we're on the same page. I've written longer texts about this topic in which I also address the points you raise.
I am from Germany.
I am absolutely disgusted by the propaganda, the incitement against Russia, and the warmongering being pursued by the media and politicians in Europe.
And it is embarrassing and sad that so many people fall for this propaganda.
I know the true reasons for this war.
When I wrote that Ukrainians and Russians do not want this war, I meant that NATO has effectively forced this war upon Russia.
Ah yes, a plan for quick victory and regime change. Those always work splendidly 🤦
Another very interesting discussion . Thank you . I enjoyed this article by Mathew as well. https://brill.com/view/journals/rupo/8/2/article-p206_6.xml
A very perceptive commentator and one of the more balanced interviews on the Ukraine Russia situation.

It's an interesting chat but it ignores the threats against Russia and Russia's restraint.
On balance you are probably correct. I with Britain would actually in it's citizens interest
