I agree. The US needs to learn that lesson and needs to stop meddling in the affairs of others, especially where their vital security interests are concerned.

Agree 100% if Putin gets away with 4 more oblasts the West will have LOST and Putin won. Were are here the values, international laws, sovereignty, any international agreements and memorandums, what a BIG loss for the West and democracy if Putin gets away with any piece of violently stolen land.

He repeats Putin's propagandist notions about "existential issue" for Russia. If the loss of all those imperial territories wasn't considered existential by Russians back in 1991, then, this whole question is totally meaningless now. Russians had accepted the loss of all those territories back then and now must adhere to the new geopolitical reality or face the consequences. All these "lords Richards", willingly or not, play into Putin's hand. The main problem is that the West don't want to defeat Russia. The western wiseacres want to prevent Russian disentagration. It is why they didn't give enough weapons to Ukraine.
With respect, speak for yourself Lord Richards. The reason we "in the West" do not feel the "existential threat" is that 70 years of peace and property have dulled our imaginations. Russia constantly declares its ambitions, but we choose not to believe him because we cannot imagine the consequences. Also we cannot imagine a Europe that includes Ukraine and Belarus that would revitalise moribund Old Europe.
Nope. Russia should not be allowed to believe in it's manifest destiny. It is a country like any other, and it should be expected to be able to defend itself from within its own borders. Russia won't accept this until sanctions (and a strong NATO) have depressed the Russian economy for decades, if not a century or two.

Remind me the last time senior leaders in the UK made a true, correct and just call on anything of significance? Most recently, they've turned their back on a genocide in a former colony / dependency - allowing the slaughter of 50,000 civilians as part reprisal, part land-grab, abruptly pulled out of Afghanistan - leaving thousands in the lurch, left the EU - the greatest act of economic suicide in modern times, continue to hold onto Northern Ireland - a part of the world nobody wants or would want to do business with, and all the while, cavalier-like, bound about the globe pretending to be a great nation. What clowns!
Why aren't we in west simply stating what we all believe in and that is we believe in a rules-based international community where it is not allowed for a stronger, neighboring country to occupy, annex territory, invade, or take over a smaller sovereign country? We should say we understand Russia's position, but this is ours. Ukraine is a sovereign nation and therefore we cannot now or ever allow it to be chopped up in pieces and taken a prize by anyone. This is where we stand and we mean no disrespect to others who differ from our point of view.

From this video, it seems Ukraine defending itself wasn’t in its vital self-interest and Russia has already effectively lost the war, but Ukraine still shouldn’t have fought back because it can't 'win.' Makes perfect sense.
This feels a lot like shilling for Russia. We were here with Crimea years ago and we ended up here again. Appeasement because Russia feels strongly about this means we'll be here again in the future. Then what?
What a loser. It's Ukraine's existential issue first and before any Russian "existential threat" . Why give them that argument and not give it to Ukraine? Idiot.
Putin stated in 2022 to the Finnish leader at the time probably in a gaffe that he has now abandoned Kyiv as the goal so now its to take over the whole of the Donbass before negotiations can begin, and yep that is his goal now.
Had Ukraine known the true value (Or lack of) the security guarantees,, The ONLY way they would've given up their nukes would be with a guaranteed full NATO membership.
apart from the subject matter discussed here...the guest wears a collar, tie and jacket and the interviewer wears a dusty old hoody....who wears a hoody to work??? ....ffs
There are two critical factors that must be non-negotiable - Crimea cannot go to Russia( otherwiseUkraine trade will be held hostage), and the nuclear plant in Zaporiza. Both vital.
Lord Richards repeatedly stated that, from the Russian perspective, a defeat in Ukraine poses an existential threat to their country. In contrast, Mikhail Khodorkovsky argued shortly after the invasion that such a defeat would pose an existential threat to the Putin regime, not to Russia itself. He suggested that a Russian loss could ultimately benefit the country by exposing the failures of the current leadership and paving the way for a transformation focused on the prosperity of the people, rather than the perpetuation of an authoritarian regime.
If Russia keeps Crimea Ukraine will fall within 10 years and NATO will fall within 15. We had the opportunity to stop WW1 and WW2. We appeased both times. The only way to stop an aggressor is to stop them. History is crustal clear. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” - George Santayana
Lord of Lies Lol The lord feels emotionally victorious but Mr Lord knows Russia has acquired 20% of Ukraine which is over 150,000 SQ KMS and wiped out 500k Ukrainian men. That’s not a defeat
a lot of wishfull thinking here and on other podcasts. there is this podcast which says something about the real reasons of invading Ukriane, namely the resources in the bottom of the Donbas. Russia and China concocted this since 2012. Language issues or NATO on the border of Russia were just diversions on the real reason of this prolonged war since 2014 which already started in 1991 or early 2000's
Ukraine had security 'guarantees' from the West before 2022, before 2014. How did that work out for them? Nato membership is the least they should accept.
I think I went to war with my cat, because I wasn't sure if the cause was right, my vital national interest weren't right and I never thought I had every possibility of winning.
Putin is like Shelley’s Ozymandias: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
There is no point negotiating with Putin, as the record of the former KGB major has demonstrated for his entire lifetime. Besides, East Germany is where Putin's KGB career unraveled. Overall, the USSR defeated itself.
What a lot of nonsens! The crucial question is: Do you realistically think there will be a Russia to make peace with or is it going to be just simple gang violence on a large territory?
I can envisage a scenario where if the war continues for another year, Russia will be so weakened financially and militarily that it will have to withdraw. Russia will be a in a VERY weakened economic state when this war ends, howsoever it does end.
Finland and Sweden have now joined NATO . The Russian economy is looking bleak. Ukraine have crossed the Russian border. Crimea is extremely important. I feel that there should be a new arrangement there. Ukraine join NATO and not be under constant threat of Russia invasion and being left to fight alone.
if ukraine is neutral and the russians keep the areas they have they won because they didnt want all of ukraine at all and they dont want nato there either so they accomplished there mission
8:16 he’s contradicted himself. First he says plan the long game like east Germany then accepts that NK and South Korea not unified and that the south is economically stronger BUT it is still not a unified country. Does he not think this could happen to UA oblasts?
And now you can see why we didn't win in Afghanistan... led by military commanders like Lord Richards. Maybe if you'd won there, you know defeated the Taliban, you'd have to credentials to pronounce on Ukraine. As it stands you couldn't 'defeat' a poorly armed rag tag bunch of determined Afghans. Clearly you don't actually know what "defeat" actually means. You pontificating fool.
The grand strategic defeat is: the scandinavian expansion to NATO; clear out of RU military assets (it will rebuild stronger but it will take time); exposure of RU's uselessness as a first-rate military power; possible ongoing collapse of the RU economy going forward if sanctions are maintained. Other than that it's (almost) obvious that RU will tactically win in UA to some degree. DE, IT and FR seem unlikely to take a continued war seriously, the USA might...let's see.
I think there could be a time for a good Sun Tzu quote - sitting in an armchair pontificating on a real conflict (while crowing that you saw it all coming) is likely not that moment.
Ukraine will offer Kursk occupied land for Kherson and Zapporzhzhia occupied land, Trump should agree to that so Russia only gets the Bits of the Donbas it already had in 2014 and no land bridge to Crimea.
Putin wants one of those new pink Jaguars. Unfortunately a Type 00 is likely to cost more than the entire Russian GDP. So for the time being he will stick with his 1973 Lada, which is also a fine motor car and, as he says, the pinnacle of Russian automotive engineering.
