Yes because Putin is a clever man and he knows it. For those who still support and love Ukrainians check out Part 6 of 'Roses Have Thorns' the Odessa Massacre and google Stepan Bandera, funny enough Blinken has marched with them.
Right, because when Trump was POTUS in 2014 Putin knew he could play him and walk right in. Then again, when Trump was President in 2022, Putin used flattery, and likely, money, to get permission to invade with the idea of taking Ukraine for good.

The Europeans went to Irak twice. For years. Boots on the ground. Including Ukrainian troops. Because we thought is correct. The Europeans went in Afghanistan with the US. Afganistan did not attack the US. A group of terrorists, AlQaida, did. Yet for years the European troops stood there. Boots on the ground. The only time when the art. 5 was activated.

Trump was the one warning about Europe using Russian oil, and pushing hard for NATO members to spend more on defence. Trump doesn't like American money going toward Ukraine, but he also may respond very negatively to Russia if Russia angers Trump by not doing what Trump wants in a peace deal.

I don't agree with the ambassador. Trump may very well look for some other conflict to play strong, but not necessarily when it comes to Ukraine, where he could please Putin. It would not be the first time that other people's interests are being sacrificed because of US interests. Simple question: who obstructed the military aid to Ukraine, causing great pain and losses to that country? Why did Trump not show strength then? Because he is playing his own games, with disregard for other people suffering. Europe better be prepared to hold up their own trousers, which in my opinion they should do anyway. The USA cannot take care forever of a prosperous continent with a larger population than the USA itself, that also is Russia's direct neighbor.
Yeah but in the past he was still surrounded by sane people that was there for their merit, now he surrounded him self with loyal people, with less wisdom and knowledge to guide him. 🎉😢
@grandrapids57 Trump, like his supporters hate intellectual elite, because to them, it make them feel inferior. You may have never observed that trend, and this is why you are surprised with my comment. And it's okay 👍
What does it matter if Trump pulls all support for Ukraine & even/esp pulls out of NATO? Nothing Trump says is going to matter in Europe once he’s chosen to isolate/not help. I fully expect Russia to test NATO if the US withdraws, probably with attacks on the Latvia etc.
If Putin does that, certainly it would be a losing move. More likely Putin will take Ukraine and then have full control of the international wheat market, as well as control of much of the food stuffs going into Central Europe. Putin will be able to rule without having to send in troops.
@@FionnCr Europe can beat Russia on its own, but it’ll require an increase in spending obv. I think people ignore something important & that’s that Europe not increasing its military over the years has been part of maintaining the peace. A large coalition (Europe & US in NATO) has meant all the forces being spread out & not on Russias borders. Without the US they will all be in Europe with both sides militarised. That’s obv very different to before & a much higher risk of a large war now, even during peacetime and these are no longer times of peace.
Well, Trump believed Putin, when Putin told him all he wanted was the Crimea. He also believes Putin when he says that it was Biden that started the fulscale war in Ukraine, becuase he encouraged the Ukrainians to fight, rather than to roll over and let the invading Russian army just take it.
No one knows what Donald and Vlad have been planning, but I think it's a safe bet to invest in Russian language courses for Alaskans. For sure Donald's missile attacks did nearly no damage to Russians stationed there, gave Syria some nice new jets, and the runways were operational almost instantly. The whole operation made both Donald and Vlad look good at home and made Donald money on his Raytheon stock.
I think Ukraine joining NATO is part of the solution. I understand this can't be done while they are at "war". Putin has repeatedly stated the Russian actions in Ukraine are not a war but "a special military operation". Therefore if it is not a war then why can't Ukraine join NATO immediately? Couldn't this be part of Trump's solution to NATO taking more responsibility for their overall defence?
Trump not be fooled? No he can't be, he doesn't even remember what does it means to be fooled. Just don't let him speak alone without earpiece, please. He needs his whisperer.

Bravo 💯 The former US Ambassador to Ukraine is a sharp individual and should help the Trump Admin form successful policy with playing chess with Putin for lasting peace in Ukraine! Just peace through strength!!
I voted for both Biden (2020) and Harris (2024). But as a moderate Democrat, I feel that the Democratic Party has gone too far to the left. Essentially Biden governs at the direction of Bernie Sanders and AOC.... which explains Biden's low approval rating of around 40 percent. Now, there are two pathways to a Democrat Presidential victory in 2028: 1.) Economic collapse under Trump 2.) Democratic Party moving back to the center.
I agree with you about the Democrats' extreme leftist political positions, and the wokeism movement that led to the downfall of the Democrats, and the Democrats' half-hearted attitude towards Ukraine, their lack of assertiveness towards anti-American groups, and the issue of illegal immigration have made some centrist voters fed up and prefer Trump even though they hate him. But I also fear that if Trump really abandons Ukraine, it will be a stab in the back for his allies, especially Poland, Finland, the Baltics, and of course the Ukrainian people themselves. I really hope that Trump changes his mind. I also hope that the Democrats will learn from their mistakes and return to a centrist position. I hope that Democratic politicians will reflect and correct their mistakes, and return to a centrist position.
As a Republican two things would help the Democrats immeasurably. Actually defending the border with sincerity instead of importing poverty and crime. Two,the woke stuff has gone much too far. I don't think the Democrats are capable of self reflection though.
Start teaching your children to speak Russian. As that will be, the primary language in the USA by the next generation, english will be the secondary language.
Ronald Reagan looking down and thinking, "Russia and its military were heading towards catastrophe and collapse and the United States economy was booming and just like that Trump decides to surrender to Russia and destroy the American economy. What is wrong with that man?".
@ It’s the Europeans who threw away the peace dividend earned by America defeating the Soviets. To have enabled Putin with trade without first requiring democratic change proves that the Europeans are strategic morons.
Here's a thought stolen from the old Fram oil filter commercials: Would you rather strengthen your committment to helping defend Europe now, or storm the beaches later? The US has done the latter before in 1944. Do you really want to let things get to that point when it could have been easily avoided by doing the right thing now.
Without doubt one of the best and most insightful interviews I've ever seen on this channel. Given Mr Herbst is a highly experienced diplomat and not currently engaged in that role, his understanding of the potential the Trump administration has against the weak, WOKE & DEI driven Biden/Harris administration is very encouraging. Unlike 99% of those who commented on this video, I watched and LISTENED from start to finish. I'd suggest that those that comment without listening to Mr Herbst should limit their time watching Ben Hodges interviews so their lefta@rd bigot brains are satisfied. I'm particiularly impressed with Alex's work, not once did he attempt to drive a left leaning agenda and he simply allowed the interview to flow. Great job indeed .... unusual for this marxist propaganda machine.
Trump won't think that abandoning Ukraine and failing to defend NATO is a sign of weakness on his part. He'll say he's showing his strength by never having had any commitment to Ukraine or to NATO in the first place.
He may not be the Brightest bulb in the box ,but he's a Celebrity President with a get out of Jail card 💳, you say Diddy is your friend a good guy you said ,Help him to get out of the mess he is in . A friend in need is a friend indeed !
Very interesting thoughts, feels rather optimistic even, i dare say given the discourse that surrounds this election from where I'm sat. But i sure hope he's right about Ukraine. Slava Ukraine.
I am NO Trump admirer/supporter by any stretch(!), but this sounds like a sober, rational, 'real-world' analysis of what MAY - actually - play out, re. Ukraine. I could end up being totally wrong - as were many election-result 'pundits'(!) - but we live in hope...
I hope he's right, but feel that with Trump's re-election, my nation has abandoned the cause of freedom in the world. Increased suffering seems a likely outcome. I am personally mortified for Ukraine.
Don't listen what Trump says, instead, see what the man does. I think we can all agree that he is good at projecting power and that's what works best with people like Vlad Putin, Ali Khamenneie, Xi, etc. Of course, it would have been much better if he paid attention to details provided by his expert advisors and could speak like a true stateman. Regardless, he did quite good during 2016-2020 (before pandemic).
Did well ROFL created a mess in the Middle East, added trillions to the national dept. Never judge a President by results in his term as the first 2 years are the previous presidents work. Judge him on what he left.
Trump has been boasting about his peacemaking abilities for years. Now is the time to prove that he can handle this in a good way. We can give him 48 hours.
Why, he said he would end it in 24 hours, right after he is elected, before he is in office? He's got about half a day left. I know I am holding my breath (not).
Really good analysis, trump is either going to be really good for ukraine or really bad. The point he made about trump not wanting to seem weak is def in ukraines favor.
Think twice: All dictators in this world love Trump.Why? Because he is so strong? No! Because he so weak! Because he makes America strong? No! Because he makes America weak!
How ‘peace can be agreed within 24 hours’ when Putin has already unilaterally annexed Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, NONE of which Russia even occupies fully? Putin cannot agree any form of ‘peace’ that doesn’t include at least all of those 4 oblasts, else he seems ‘more than weak’. So Trump thinks Putin will just concede these and reverse the changes to the Russian constitution to incorporate them, and that Zelenskyy and Ukraine will obligingly just giving up even the parts of these oblasts they have already lost?
If Europe (Poland, Germany, Baltics) doesn't get their act together, they are next.
Poland is ready, at least according to all the news. Unfortunately, Poland is about the only one who's ready. Everyone else is hoping for the US to come to help.
So true. Every country needs to jettison their old-fashioned liberal leaders and put in a Trump like leader. Make Europe Great Again.

May we all enjoy the rights our respective constitutions embody and just peace💜🙏🕊️
Trump will do none of those things.
That would be wonderfull, but if you belive it will, you're high on hopium
Trump has NO ethical advisors. He has fascists and white nationalists as advisors.
Bravo 💯
The former US Ambassador to Ukraine is a sharp individual and should help the Trump Admin form successful policy with playing chess with Putin for lasting peace in Ukraine! Just peace through strength!!
What a breath of fresh air your guest is! Calm cool and collected. I hope the new Trump administration considers him for an ambassadorship. ❤❤
B.S
I voted for both Biden (2020) and Harris (2024). But as a moderate Democrat, I feel that the Democratic Party has gone too far to the left. Essentially Biden governs at the direction of Bernie Sanders and AOC.... which explains Biden's low approval rating of around 40 percent. Now, there are two pathways to a Democrat Presidential victory in 2028: 1.) Economic collapse under Trump 2.) Democratic Party moving back to the center.
You guys will make even more enemies than the abysmal biden managed .
The world is sick of their fate being decided by yankee hayseeds …
I agree with you about the Democrats' extreme leftist political positions, and the wokeism movement that led to the downfall of the Democrats, and the Democrats' half-hearted attitude towards Ukraine, their lack of assertiveness towards anti-American groups, and the issue of illegal immigration have made some centrist voters fed up and prefer Trump even though they hate him.
But I also fear that if Trump really abandons Ukraine, it will be a stab in the back for his allies, especially Poland, Finland, the Baltics, and of course the Ukrainian people themselves. I really hope that Trump changes his mind.
I also hope that the Democrats will learn from their mistakes and return to a centrist position. I hope that Democratic politicians will reflect and correct their mistakes, and return to a centrist position.
As a Republican two things would help the Democrats immeasurably. Actually defending the border with sincerity instead of importing poverty and crime. Two,the woke stuff has gone much too far. I don't think the Democrats are capable of self reflection though.
If Trump lays those tariffs, the former just may happen.
Don't bet on it boy ! 😮
Putin has already said he wants Alaska back. If USA leaves NATO it will just bet beween Putin and Trump.
No, ,??? Hahahahahahahahah don't count on trump. Big friend of Putin as he said..
This is the first American expert that actually seems intelligent and well informed with well thought out of opinion on widenrang if areas
The orange wrecking ball doesn't need others to fool him, he does it all by himself to himself through his narcissist personality.
Putin runs rings around Trump .
Whilst trump kisses his!
Start teaching your children to speak Russian. As that will be, the primary language in the USA by the next generation, english will be the secondary language.
Bulldust
Ronald Reagan looking down and thinking,
"Russia and its military were heading towards catastrophe and collapse and the United States economy was booming and just like that Trump decides to surrender to Russia
and destroy the American economy.
What is wrong with that man?".
@ It’s the Europeans who threw away the peace dividend earned by America defeating the Soviets. To have enabled Putin with trade without first requiring democratic change proves that the Europeans are strategic morons.
LOL, LOL, LOL needed a good laugh today.
Here's a thought stolen from the old Fram oil filter commercials: Would you rather strengthen your committment to helping defend Europe now, or storm the beaches later? The US has done the latter before in 1944. Do you really want to let things get to that point when it could have been easily avoided by doing the right thing now.
😂 it’s all cosplay! They could be on SNL! Trump is Putintang’s lapdog!
Sure, man. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Without doubt one of the best and most insightful interviews I've ever seen on this channel. Given Mr Herbst is a highly experienced diplomat and not currently engaged in that role, his understanding of the potential the Trump administration has against the weak, WOKE & DEI driven Biden/Harris administration is very encouraging.
Unlike 99% of those who commented on this video, I watched and LISTENED from start to finish. I'd suggest that those that comment without listening to Mr Herbst should limit their time watching Ben Hodges interviews so their lefta@rd bigot brains are satisfied.
I'm particiularly impressed with Alex's work, not once did he attempt to drive a left leaning agenda and he simply allowed the interview to flow. Great job indeed .... unusual for this marxist propaganda machine.
Of course he will be fooled, he is a fool
Ukraine will do what is best for Ukraine not what is best for Trump, Vance and Putin.
Trump won't think that abandoning Ukraine and failing to defend NATO is a sign of weakness on his part. He'll say he's showing his strength by never having had any commitment to Ukraine or to NATO in the first place.
Does Herbst even know the dictionary definition of "woke?" 🙄
Trump was practising for his next meeting with Putin with that mic stunt the other day.
Point.
Putin has his inside man in place and Ukraine will be lucky if the aid slated to head there doesn’t get rerouted to Moscow.
He may not be the Brightest bulb in the box ,but he's a Celebrity President with a get out of Jail card 💳, you say Diddy is your friend a good guy you said ,Help him to get out of the mess he is in . A friend in need is a friend indeed !
Very interesting thoughts, feels rather optimistic even, i dare say given the discourse that surrounds this election from where I'm sat. But i sure hope he's right about Ukraine. Slava Ukraine.
So do I, but he is almost certainly not. We will soon see.
I am NO Trump admirer/supporter by any stretch(!), but this sounds like a sober, rational, 'real-world' analysis of what MAY - actually - play out, re. Ukraine. I could end up being totally wrong - as were many election-result 'pundits'(!) - but we live in hope...
I would give Trump about a 10% chance of doing right by Ukraine, but I hope the bozo on this program is right.
I hope he's right, but feel that with Trump's re-election, my nation has abandoned the cause of freedom in the world. Increased suffering seems a likely outcome. I am personally mortified for Ukraine.
😅 wow i didn't realize so many Russian bots and Democrats listened ti times radio
Don't listen what Trump says, instead, see what the man does. I think we can all agree that he is good at projecting power and that's what works best with people like Vlad Putin, Ali Khamenneie, Xi, etc. Of course, it would have been much better if he paid attention to details provided by his expert advisors and could speak like a true stateman. Regardless, he did quite good during 2016-2020 (before pandemic).
Did well ROFL created a mess in the Middle East, added trillions to the national dept. Never judge a President by results in his term as the first 2 years are the previous presidents work. Judge him on what he left.
Trump will do what Putin tells him to do,
This guy is in denial.
Trump has been boasting about his peacemaking abilities for years. Now is the time to prove that he can handle this in a good way. We can give him 48 hours.
Why, he said he would end it in 24 hours, right after he is elected, before he is in office? He's got about half a day left. I know I am holding my breath (not).
Really good analysis, trump is either going to be really good for ukraine or really bad. The point he made about trump not wanting to seem weak is def in ukraines favor.
Yeah, but the person he doesn't want to seem weak in front of is Putin.
@jjbud3124 well yeah, thats good for ukraine, appeasing putin would be weak.
Think twice: All dictators in this world love Trump.Why? Because he is so strong? No! Because he so weak! Because he makes America strong? No! Because he makes America weak!
are you kidding me?
I hope he's right, but Trump will not keep any sensible adviser who deny his gut self-interest. And don't forget Putin's Kompromat...
Trump bends over backwards for Putin.!?!?
😢😮😢😮
On day one he will offer
Half of Ukraine to Putin.!?!?
On day two he will get out of NATO.!?
😢😮😢😮😢😮
Which puts the ball in the lap of NATO. Even Europe understands its need to support Ukraine. Free rider question?
"Trump will not be fooled by Putin" ... As if.
To be fair, he is thw biggest fool the world has ever seen
Lets hope he does over play his hand when Trump makes his offer. Nothing nastier than a narcissist scorned.
Is this man in a fishbowl?
Let the gaslighting begin
How ‘peace can be agreed within 24 hours’ when Putin has already unilaterally annexed Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, NONE of which Russia even occupies fully? Putin cannot agree any form of ‘peace’ that doesn’t include at least all of those 4 oblasts, else he seems ‘more than weak’. So Trump thinks Putin will just concede these and reverse the changes to the Russian constitution to incorporate them, and that Zelenskyy and Ukraine will obligingly just giving up even the parts of these oblasts they have already lost?
Let's hope he is right about Trump in regards to Ukraine and other foreign policy.
