Yeah, he was quite right on Western weakness, actually - not fully, but 65% right I would say. But as all dictators, he disposed everyone who could critize him, therefore he will eventually make bad decisions.
Well said. It is rare for a person to not only very publicly stand up and speak out with personal risk to himself but he has consistently done so keeping his campaign going for a long time. These are the type of people you would want to work for and have your back, a true leader.
When you are weak, feign strength, the Soviet's knew the Sun Tzu. It also means he's vulnerable and that's the time to deal with the cornered predator once and for all. The natural kingdom does give some examples on dealing with wolves who are intent on treating others like prey. Putin's biggest weakness is that he spent so much time in the second chief directorate at the KGB, that his skillet at disinformation and counterintelligence doesn't include gathering hard actionable intelligence. Well that and he probably isn't a patriot that cares about his country or it's citizens, he's a dictator who would throw all under the bus for his gain. Problem with a career in disinformation with no grounding in genuine intelligence gathering, you tell the big lie often enough you might start to believe it. When the Sun Tzu observed that war is the art of deception, it wasn't advocating being self deluded, that would be delivering the disadvantage on one's self, rather than the people he chose to make war with
Vladimir Putin’s arrogance and miscalculations have plunged Russia into chaos. He’s squandered his gas market, frozen billions in reserves, and sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers into a meat grinder-all to cling to power. Like a delusional poker player, he doubles down on a losing hand, indifferent to the suffering he inflicts. Surrounded by yes-men too scared to challenge him, he rules through fear, not wisdom. His gamble isn’t about strategy but ego, a desperate bluff from a leader whose vision extends no further than his own survival. Whether Trump becomes his savior or his nightmare, Putin remains a dictator on borrowed time.
I canna understand why someone has not 'offed' him already. Are they all aligned with him in Mokba or is he protected from/by the oligarchs, yes? But the average senior Joe or Ivan really, with a grudge, could seek retribution could they not? Does he always wear, sleep with his flak jacket on?
America debt 36 trillion dollars, France debt 3.3 trillion dollars, Uk debt 3 trillion dollars Italy debt 4 trillion qdollars. DEBT TO GDP RATIO IS OVER 100% in these countries. You want to give more money to Ukraine and want inflation in your country Good luck with that.
With the war against Ukraine, Putin has strengthened and united NATO, reduced Russian oil and gas exports, weakened the Russian economy, brought about the fall of Assad and thus the loss of Russian bases in Syria. As a result, Putin's war and weakening will also lead to the end of the Kim regime in North Korea and the Mullah regime in Iran.
@@Derek0846 I am European and I know that Putler will attack us as soon as Trump desolves NATO. Trump said it himself that he would drop support for NATO and encourage RuZZia "to do whatever the he'll they want" educate yourself!
Excellent interview, Sir Bill Browder understands Putin’s mentality and his ruthless nature. I like that he doesn’t make predictions, he just suggests possible scenarios. It would have been interesting to ask Sir Bill what he thinks might happen were Putin to involuntarily step aside, so to speak.
A Russian uprising likely depends on a generational shift. The older population, shaped by Soviet-era resilience and fear of chaos, tolerates suffering. Younger Russians, exposed to dissenting ideas online (vpn), harbor frustration but remain cautious due to repression. As the older generation fades, the youth’s growing dissent could reach a tipping point, turning passive frustration into action. But it will take some time.
Won't happen as Russia are taking large areas of land daily .but if the Russian were being pushed back then things might have changed then but it's past point of no return for Ukraine so why let more mem die when your already loosing large amounts of land
Nearly a million people involved in the war and many more who are close to it. What do you think they see? They see that much of what they've heard is true. And they also see the “made in USA/Germany...” label on what killed their friend or relative.
Isn't it more likely to depend on there being people within the elite circles who have reached breaking point? It's difficult to see how ordinary Russians could rise up effectively as the starting point. They'll need to know there's a viable alternative they can support before they move. That's why getting rid of people like Nemtsov and Navalny - and Prigozhin, from a different perspective - has always been a core element of Putin's strategy to retain power. With no legitimate alternatives, ordinary Russians have no-one to throw their weight behind, so there won't be any uprising until the elites coalesce their support around one of their own.
What an eye opening interview, it’s my. first experience listening to this gentleman’s take on the Trump - Putin - dynamic and he lays down some strong points why Putin will continue the War in Ukraine no matter what the West wants. Sad.
Bill Browder has incredible fortitude, and James is a top-tier interviewer...it is obvious he really knows the subject and isn't just reading questions. Ty Times Radio!
We all admire his approach and knowledge he has on the Russian situation. I just wish that the western world would have the same outlook and understanding.
I hope that after Putin is brought to justice. A worldwide new law should be passed for all leaders that they can be removed from any office of leadership if they use nuclear weapons as a bargaining chip
Before you blame Russia for using nuclear weapons as bargaining chip first think of military alliance with over 27 members and with half the world military spending. NATO is threat not just to Russia but the entire world but for Russia the threat is immediate. If country like uk, Germany etc are to want to go to war with Russia alone do you think Russia would be threatening with nuclear weapons? Obviously no because that would be a fair fight or war. For Russia a full scale war with NATO is a nuclear war and NATO will not fight a war with Russia that they are not the one who started it because Russia is weak to start a war with NATO. Russia will suddenly use nuclear weapons first in a war with NATO and the target will be one of those weaker Baltic Nation if that did not stop NATO attack on Russia more will follow but uk, France and USA with nuclear weapons will most likely not be attacked first they'll decide whether to retaliate with nuclear weapons and the ultimate distraction and serious nuclear exchange will start from there or they will just decide to stop the war. Any escalation between NATO and Russia it's safe in Uk, France and USA than in others place.
Putin must be the joke of the Century, he says Zelensky is a Comedian!, who’s the Comedian now!!. He’s 3 Days has turned to Weeks, Weeks to Months, Months to Years, and still going on with the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of Russian Men and Women on the Battlefield
Putin is a joke! But Zelensky truly is a comedian, or I d rather say he was. Have you watched Servant of the people? It s a nice series if you don t mind watching it in ukrainian/russian with subtitles. Reagan was also an actor before he became President btw.
its ukraine with women on the battlefield and chill regarding the 3 days - another 7000 days to go before he reaches the american achievement of going into afghanistan to displace the taliban and leaving the country under taliban control
@ I hope you’re right. Unfortunately, Canada has had to deal with American dreams of Manifest Destiny several times in its history. When the next door Commander in Chief of the most powerful military and economy in history pitches an idea like that, well, it would be reckless to ignore it imho.
Trump doesn’t want military dominance of Europe. That’s a silly notion to begin with. Trump wants economic dominance of the globe, and the military invulnerability of US economic interests. If Europe grows militarily more powerful, that doesn’t cross any of his purposes. It rather frees up money in the budget for other things. And those other things are pointed at economic dominance. You don’t need to dominate Europe militarily to secure trade agreements, particularly when that dominance costs more than it’s worth.
i kept seeing people mention the book Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane in the comments of so many videos. at first, i thought it was just overhyped, but after seeing it pop up everywhere, i decided to give it a shot. turns out, it really is as powerful as people say. the way it explains how to align your energy with what you truly want is something i’ve never seen before. it’s not just about thinking positively-it’s about actually understanding the process of manifesting your dream life. i can see why so many people are talking about it now.
The unblackmailable Trump point is a really important one, but it just occurred to me a couple of days ago there's another thing about Trump that totally confounds the Kremlin's way of doing things and probably has them quite alarmed at this point. I should probably state first for clarity (just so you know where I'm coming from) that I'm not a Trump fan when it comes to his overall political views. Having said that, here's the thing: this whole ideological project that Putin is engaged in, resurrecting the Russian empire both by violence and by stealth - all of it relies on the West and NATO being unwilling to violate the international norms we've set for ourselves. That means, for example, not getting involved directly because Ukraine isn't in NATO. Because after all, NATO's military power, combined, is formidable. If we were to use it by unleashing open war on Russia, it would be a catastrophe for Putin. But not unreasonably, he assumes we'll all just keep talking, talking, talking, and try to do the absolute minimum required to help Ukraine. So, he presents NATO as a bogeyman to his domestic audience to drum up support for his war, telling the Russian people that NATO is a direct threat to them, and selling the propaganda narrative to gullible foreigners that he's only acting out of "legitimate security concerns" provoked by NATO - but it's all nonsense, of course. He knows very well that NATO is a defensive alliance and the NATO powers have never had any intention of attacking Russia. And - importantly - that unless he attacks a NATO country openly and directly rather than underhandedly, no-one is going to invoke article 5 and go to war with Russia - because none of us actually wants war with Russia. Now, here's Trump back in the White House, and what do we see? Certainly no indication yet that Trump plans to relax the sanctions. Instead, chaotic rhetoric about taking over Greenland, Canada, Panama - not ruling out the use of military force. Even just the possibility of this potential for American hard imperialism being discussed on American TV channels with some sympathetic treatment is the Kremlin's worst nightmare writ large. Trump is freely signposting that he does not respect well-established international norms. But Russia can't win unless the West sticks to all its international norms, because that's the only way Putin will be able to take everything sneakily slice by slice until he achieves his dream of restoring the empire. At this point, strategists in the Kremlin must be seriously worried about being squeezed between China and a potentially outwardly aggressive US the likes of which hasn't been seen before. So if this is poker, Putin must be increasingly aware he's holding a painfully weak hand. He can't stop the war or he'll lose his power and possibly his life; he can't continue the war indefinitely unless he can convince Trump to relax the sanctions; he has no leverage over Trump because he can neither blackmail him nor bribe him, because he has nothing Trump wants. What, then, can he do?
Your so right about Europe being the super power if it wakes up. Wars are never pretty. But defence has to be that a defence no longer a fence to be sat on. Just it takes a lot to unite Europe.
I know even one death in war is tragic. Mr. Browder said in a democracy, 10,000 troops lost would be enough to end it. So then if both countries were democratic, what would be a "normal" troop casualty total for one of the sides? And what would be a normal acceptable limit?
last year, i watched my cousin go from feeling completely stuck in life to absolutely thriving. they’d been talking about a book called Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane and how it wasn’t about “just think happy thoughts,” but more about getting real with yourself and your goals. at first, i didn’t pay much attention, but then they started landing dream opportunities, meeting new people, and just carrying themselves differently. it’s not some miracle story-they worked for it-but they said the book helped them focus in a way that made everything feel possible.
Geez, why do you even consider that Trump might be thinking even slightly deeply? Most often he just reacts on his feelings of the moment. And he's vastly ignorant of history and international politics.
Yep. The man can barely carry one thought in his head - which is basically "Aren't I great". He's reactful, which may not be a terrible thing, giving how many evil people surround him. But it also makes him dangerous.
I don't think he'll make any effort to do something because it's right. But he might do it by accident if Putin insults him and Zelensky praises him. Trump is spiteful, vindictive, and loves flattery. Zelensky knows this. With luck it will be Trump's ego that helps Ukraine - god knows it won't be a sense of decency or good judgment.
And yet for four years, Trump "did the right thing" by stopping Putin from expanding in Ukraine; unlike Obama-Biden before him and Biden-Harris after him.
@ Russia has warned nato since the early 2000’s not to expand because of security concerns but they never listened and now nato + Biden thought they could do it again with no repercussions
I am here to listen to the analyses of your distinguishED Guests. And to listen to the English Language spoken by the English, as well. From a Pole, in South Africa.
You speak as if a Europe with a credible military would hurt America's interests. The opposite is true, as Europe has benefited economically by cheap-riding on US protection, while the US pays the bill without even being loved by Europeans.
Exactly. Its the dismissive arrogance of Europeans have for the US that caused this desire for us to stop paying for their defense. No matter what happens, Europe’s free ride is over. I don't think the US will leave NATO but we aren't going to fund it anymore
Without World War II, the United States may not have become extraordinarily wealthy, as it was the war's minimal domestic destruction, wartime economic expansion, global demand for goods, technological and industrial advancements, establishment of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, infrastructure investments, and its emergence as a global leader that propelled its economic dominance. Now times are changing...
Why would we love USA? Late to two world wars and made us pay everything we had to save them.USA is only for USA and no sympathy for others.They talk about the bible but never impliment "good Samaritan"
In reality, Trump has signed EO to freeze all US foreign aid for the next 75 days in order to “evaluate” foreign aid assistance. That includes Ukraine..times radio for weeks have been misrepresenting what’s happening here in the U.S. trump has also said he has delegated the conflict in Ukraine to China..yes, China. China In return announced a deeper relationship with Russia..hope this helps.
@ he can’t. The next budget will be in. September. That includes Israel military aid..he & his ilk have already said the aide to Ukraine will stop. So, again, it seems even at times radio ppl continue to dismiss what this man is saying over & over again.
The US has 2,800 Bradley IFV's sitting in storage, that's out of 3,700 of them in total, along with hundreds more A4 variants currently on the way, just sending Ukraine unlimited amount of those with the ammunition they need and some strong anti-drone EW systems attached to them, they could easily push the Russians back if they where used in a spearhead operation in a part of the frontline.
I see every comment you post is about Trump and how much you hate him. And you're not even an American? Move on ... Worry about your own problems your opinion isn't needed or wanted❤
Look at the Russian culture, no, they DON'T care about the numbers of deaths, they never have in the centuries (yes, centuries in that region) where one strongman after another has ruled.
Last month a member of 1420 Daniil Orain interviewed Russian citizens: Interviewer: "How many Russians have been killed or wounded since the beginning of the Special Military Operation?" Citizens: "100s, perhaps 1000s".
From a Canadian point of view, I wouldn't support buying US made equipment if they are likely to turn on us at any time. I'd prefer Korean tanks and European aircraft. We know where we stand with them. Not so anymore with the US.
Trump is not going to invade Canada. He's just trying to scare you into boosting your defense spending to at least 2%, which honestly, you should already be doing.
Don't assume from Trump's trolling Trudeau by joking around, that the US would EVER "turn" on Canada, ever. The North American brotherhood of freedom, which has endured for more than 165 years since the "Pig War,' is much stronger than that.
@@sismith5427thanks for the perspective. Japan was "unstoppable" at that point in time and geography. Putin thought the same thing in Ukraine. Everyone will fold and run.
@@francissantos7448 The thing Putin fails to grasp, is that battles like Japan's victory in Hong Kong, was only really made possible because for Britain it was just a distance colony at stake... it was territory they were prepared to lose, so simply wasn't worth mounting a serious defence to keep it. Putin wishes to destroy Ukraine and its people and claim it at Russian territory. it is trying to obliterate the very idea of Ukraine even existing, so for Ukrainians they are not fighting for only land, they are fight to exist. Their homeland is at stake... that is Putin's misjudgement, he fails to grasp the people... when you push a person to fight to exist that person will never stop fighting.
@@jackcat3745 Which was nothing compared to what Japan had been doing in China and Korea for years, and what they proceeded to do in the Philippines. And then they complained about a couple of tiny nukes.
Trump could be his worst enemy… or his best friend. All depends on what is personally more beneficial to Trump - it’s as simple as that. Don’t waste time looking for any other motivation. A person with narcissistic personality disorder just doesn’t care for the needs anyone else.

So if this is poker, Putin must be increasingly aware he's holding a painfully weak hand. He can't stop the war or he'll lose his power and possibly his life; he can't continue the war indefinitely unless he can convince Trump to relax the sanctions; he has no leverage over Trump because he can neither blackmail him nor bribe him, because he has nothing Trump wants. What, then, can he do?
Your so right about Europe being the super power if it wakes up. Wars are never pretty. But defence has to be that a defence no longer a fence to be sat on. Just it takes a lot to unite Europe.

@@GodwinGodfather But it is already an economic superpower.
I know even one death in war is tragic. Mr. Browder said in a democracy, 10,000 troops lost would be enough to end it. So then if both countries were democratic, what would be a "normal" troop casualty total for one of the sides? And what would be a normal acceptable limit?

Putin isn't playing poker, more like playing Russian roulette.
Putin himself created this monster.
Putin got Trump elected. Trump owes Putin big time.
last year, i watched my cousin go from feeling completely stuck in life to absolutely thriving. they’d been talking about a book called Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane and how it wasn’t about “just think happy thoughts,” but more about getting real with yourself and your goals. at first, i didn’t pay much attention, but then they started landing dream opportunities, meeting new people, and just carrying themselves differently. it’s not some miracle story-they worked for it-but they said the book helped them focus in a way that made everything feel possible.
Geez, why do you even consider that Trump might be thinking even slightly deeply? Most often he just reacts on his feelings of the moment. And he's vastly ignorant of history and international politics.
Yep. The man can barely carry one thought in his head - which is basically "Aren't I great". He's reactful, which may not be a terrible thing, giving how many evil people surround him. But it also makes him dangerous.
I fear that too.
Every man & his dog can see what "international" politics has been up to for as far back as social media got focused.
The other day he thought Spain was in Brics...Europe is doomed due to his complete ignorance
Yes, if only he were as knowledgeable as Kamala or Joe
Putin is so grateful that he sent Trump a jar of hummus for Christmas:

Trump has been calling Russia “weak” since the election. He hates being seen backing a loser, and Shaky Pudin is looking like a real loser right now.
Trump supports Putin and is against Ukraine.

I wouldn’t put any faith in Trump. The carrot is incapable of doing the right thing.
100%
I don't think he'll make any effort to do something because it's right. But he might do it by accident if Putin insults him and Zelensky praises him. Trump is spiteful, vindictive, and loves flattery. Zelensky knows this. With luck it will be Trump's ego that helps Ukraine - god knows it won't be a sense of decency or good judgment.
And yet for four years, Trump "did the right thing" by stopping Putin from expanding in Ukraine; unlike Obama-Biden before him and Biden-Harris after him.
The bots are Scared....

These people are stuck in their own lie.
@@saviola5194 NATO was pretty much demilitarised when Russia attacked Ukraine. How did it pressurise Russia?
@ Russia has warned nato since the early 2000’s not to expand because of security concerns but they never listened and now nato + Biden thought they could do it again with no repercussions
True
Putin’s worst nightmare or his rescuer. Don`t count on trump doing the right thing.
Did you hear Trump yesterday a reporter asked him about Ukraine and he sounded like he was gona be on Ukraine side if Putin doesn’t end the war.
Excellent

Wow great thinking man
SORRY, Have we not been saying the same thing for the past few years now 🤷🏼♂️ yet the war goes on
Hope you guys and Bill are not just 'tipping off ' the pootin camp ! And forewarning him about Trump and response.
Team Bill up with John Bolton and you could sort out quite a few problems in the world, two very astute people.
Will he? I really doubt that.
Such a dumb question whether Putin has compromat on Trump.
Very informative
You speak as if a Europe with a credible military would hurt America's interests. The opposite is true, as Europe has benefited economically by cheap-riding on US protection, while the US pays the bill without even being loved by Europeans.
Exactly. Its the dismissive arrogance of Europeans have for the US that caused this desire for us to stop paying for their defense.
No matter what happens, Europe’s free ride is over. I don't think the US will leave NATO but we aren't going to fund it anymore
Can you blame us for hating you?
@ yes, we can. And while I'm not a Trumper that hate is why you will likely be paying for your own defense soon
Without World War II, the United States may not have become extraordinarily wealthy, as it was the war's minimal domestic destruction, wartime economic expansion, global demand for goods, technological and industrial advancements, establishment of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, infrastructure investments, and its emergence as a global leader that propelled its economic dominance. Now times are changing...
Why would we love USA? Late to two world wars and made us pay everything we had to save them.USA is only for USA and no sympathy for others.They talk about the bible but never impliment "good Samaritan"
Putin needs a golden parachute to become a history professor who never engages in politics personally
In reality, Trump has signed EO to freeze all US foreign aid for the next 75 days in order to “evaluate” foreign aid assistance. That includes Ukraine..times radio for weeks have been misrepresenting what’s happening here in the U.S. trump has also said he has delegated the conflict in Ukraine to China..yes, China. China In return announced a deeper relationship with Russia..hope this helps.
Ukraine is literally exempt from the aid freeze.
Trump making the Putin cry lol.
It doesn’t include Ukraine….
@ he can’t. The next budget will be in. September. That includes Israel military aid..he & his ilk have already said the aide to Ukraine will stop.
So, again, it seems even at times radio ppl continue to dismiss what this man is saying over & over again.
@ refresh your information..as I said before. This is about to be the greatest betrayal in a long, long time.
The US has 2,800 Bradley IFV's sitting in storage, that's out of 3,700 of them in total, along with hundreds more A4 variants currently on the way, just sending Ukraine unlimited amount of those with the ammunition they need and some strong anti-drone EW systems attached to them, they could easily push the Russians back if they where used in a spearhead operation in a part of the frontline.
You are both giving Trump too much credit for "thinking" about anything. He's not capable of it. Seriously.
Of course. That is why his presidential run was such a shambles, and he lost all swing states due to his poor planning. /s
Ukraine will never give up
Slava Ukraine
Mindboggling to see the Yanks failing in getting rid of Trump.
Agreed
The feeling here in the US is one of great rejoicing.

Do the Russian people realise how many casualties their armies have received or don't they care either 😢
give the number and your source
Look at the Russian culture, no, they DON'T care about the numbers of deaths, they never have in the centuries (yes, centuries in that region) where one strongman after another has ruled.
Same for Ukraine and the troops from many countries fighting them dude come on
Russians are like MAGA morons in the USA. They only hear the Trump BS, which is NO TRUTH or facts.

Yes! Simple like Chauncey Gardner, but minus Chauncey's innocence, gentleness and kindness.
Wishful thinking but I wish you are right!
From a Canadian point of view, I wouldn't support buying US made equipment if they are likely to turn on us at any time.
I'd prefer Korean tanks and European aircraft. We know where we stand with them. Not so anymore with the US.
Trump is not going to invade Canada. He's just trying to scare you into boosting your defense spending to at least 2%, which honestly, you should already be doing.
Don't assume from Trump's trolling Trudeau by joking around, that the US would EVER "turn" on Canada, ever. The North American brotherhood of freedom, which has endured for more than 165 years since the "Pig War,' is much stronger than that.
Trump will be Putin's Worst Nightmare
Even now Trump doesn’t respect his old friend Putin 😂
As Browder said, Trump cares about one thing, and nothing else. Himself.

In the battle of Hong Kong, Japan lost 700 soldiers and took 10,000 British POWs.
They did well in Singapore a couple of months later, too.
@@sismith5427thanks for the perspective. Japan was "unstoppable" at that point in time and geography. Putin thought the same thing in Ukraine. Everyone will fold and run.
@seanrm
The Japanese put them in hard labour camps.
@@francissantos7448 The thing Putin fails to grasp, is that battles like Japan's victory in Hong Kong, was only really made possible because for Britain it was just a distance colony at stake... it was territory they were prepared to lose, so simply wasn't worth mounting a serious defence to keep it.
Putin wishes to destroy Ukraine and its people and claim it at Russian territory. it is trying to obliterate the very idea of Ukraine even existing, so for Ukrainians they are not fighting for only land, they are fight to exist. Their homeland is at stake... that is Putin's misjudgement, he fails to grasp the people... when you push a person to fight to exist that person will never stop fighting.
@@jackcat3745 Which was nothing compared to what Japan had been doing in China and Korea for years, and what they proceeded to do in the Philippines. And then they complained about a couple of tiny nukes.
It's Russian roulette, not poker.
Oh the rampant TDS around here.
Trump could be his worst enemy… or his best friend. All depends on what is personally more beneficial to Trump - it’s as simple as that. Don’t waste time looking for any other motivation. A person with narcissistic personality disorder just doesn’t care for the needs anyone else.
Bill Browder = Putin's worst nightmare.
Vice versa. Browder is deeply offended just by Putin's existence. So Putin = Browder's worst nightmare.
