    Absolutely the correct interview technique used here to get the best out of Peter Hitchens. This was a great listen

      I absolutely agree. Mr. Hitchens is immensely knowledgeable and articulate.

      The question at 45.15 stumped Hitchens for a few moments, which is quite unusual!

      @@mikepen918 I think it's more frustration than being stumped. Because he knows the answer of the west responding is locked in the past, and it's now almost too late. What is happening now is partly because of the west's lack of response after the collapse of the USSR, and that sigh he let out was a sigh of despair. He knows it's probably hopeless and knows the west will just carry on doing what they always do

    Can't get enough of Peter, you can love him or hate him, but he is constantly proved right, he called it spot on with every aspect of the pandemic and subsequent backpeddling/economic ruin in the first months of 2020! 👍👍👍👍

    Thank you for the video.
    Points that I didn't hear discussed:
    1. Why did Putin invade Ukraine?
    2. Were the referendums valid? proof?

    The past history of Russian, Ukraine, the world & the present state of power distribution is well covered.
    Why does nobody discuss Russian forward planning, that fact Russia after absorbing Crimea & Southern Ukraine will/would acquire better access to the global south, to a degree, bypassing Europe. The global south being the market with the greatest growth potential.
    The fact that if the climatic trend continues, Siberia is likely to become far more hospitable & productive.

      Russia will/would gain sole access to the Sea of Azov.

      Investigative journalism may now be a limited phenomenon. I would be interested in Peter Hitchins view on this.

    American may have salt water on either side but it’s about 50 miles between the east coast of Russia and the west coast of Alaska, with an island half way between. That puts Russia about 25 miles from America. They are not half a world apart, they are next door neighbours. I agree though, we are still treating Russia as if the USSR is still in effect, despite it ending 30 odd years ago. It must make people question what that was for.

    • @murkzmontana
      @murkzmontana Год назад +2

      In theory yes but the main populated parts of Russia don’t live anywhere near there so in practical terms they are a lot further away
