Peter Hitchens: "We've used Ukraine as a battering ram against Russia. Ukraine is the victim of our militancy. We've done the shouting, they get bombed."
#peterhitchens #mikegraham #ukraine #russia
Thank you Peter for standing your ground on this subject. Talking sense and facts. No dramatics.
Will he apologise for taking the injections so he can travel for his job? No mention of that any more.
He's talking rubbish and presenting a very distorted pro Russian version of recent history. This is Putin's long term plan. It has not been caused by NATO or the Ukraine.
@@robertstorey7476 There may well be a valid argument from the Russian side, however invading Ukraine is not going to get anyone to listen to it. The 'expansion of NATO' argument no longer rings true in light of the invasion as Putin is by definition moving his forces closer, not the other way round.
He'd better watch out he also doesn't get banned!
@@robertstorey7476 that's some high quality satire. I needed a good laugh today. Do you do stand up?
No matter what you think of Putin, you have to give him credit for ending the pandemic.
I'm pretty sure western governments just spin a wheel to decide which doomsday disaster they will terrorise the world with next. We've already had impending environmental collapse, a pandemic and those pesky Russians, maybe we're due a flying saucer invasion sometime soon.
Peter is right to say Putin is finished now.
Biggest mistake he ever made.
Europe is going to collapse...no more energy from russia, iran and china
And what of China and its puppet states?.
No customers.
@@TheGreatGodPan they have to remind us why we need them
Hitchens was right at the beginning of the 'pandemic' and he's right now.
No he's been wrong. He said Putin would not invade Ukraine. I still agree he's mostly correct about most things and definitely covid.
@@steadfastandyx4947 No. He said if Putin invades then he's mad. Cant you read?
@@steadfastandyx4947 , except he didn't. He said perfectly clear that he wouldn't rule it out because he didn't really know one way or the other. He said he thought it was very unlikely due to various reasons he outlined previously.
@@oliverreno4734 Indeed I can read but I did not need to because I heard (listened) Mr Hitchens say it and I interpreted it as I have. Btw this was two or so weeks sgo.
@@SagaciousFrank Mr Hitchens is very, very good. Nevertheless, a couple of weeks ago he stated Mr Putin would not invade Ukraine.
As a Pole living in Great Britain, I am extremely positively surprised by what I hear. Mr. Peter Hitchens, my compliments for the courage and objective assessment of the events taking place in Ukraine. People like you should definitely occupy state positions.
His brother was better (Christopher), but yeah, I agree with everything he said here.
You don't know this person Lukasz.... he says whatever he thinks will get ratings. Whilst he may say one thing he is actually part of the ideological group that have been instrumental in bringing about hatred and division across the world...
We do have many old Communists in government as it stands already
I agree Lukasz. Peter upsets many people by speaking truth.
@IonCrox is that it? He upsets people? Do you have any idea what he is a part of? No, probably not. There is a wave of hate that has been building in this world for at least 10 years and that person is part of it, intolerance, racism, xenophobia. And when hatred rises across the world what happens... let me tell you. Violence is what happens, violence and war. And here we are and that person is part of the machinery that created a world of hate. Look around.
A balanced & level headed take on the issue, rather than the jingoistic & ignorant hivemind. Great stuff!
I agree. What we're seeing is frenzied one-way propaganda from the mainstream.
I can’t believe that more people can’t understand what is happening in Ukraine, or what had previously happened to lead us here. It doesn’t take much digging to find out. People really have been manipulated by the media. Peter is spot on here.
pablofitzy Folks truly are "sheep" having presumably outsourced their understanding of world events to MSN. The resulting ill-informed masses appears to be how said media wants it. Since turned to terrestrial channel 133, notably, RT, yesterday; to find words to the effect of 'service not available'. Also a purge of 'non Russian' news channels appears to have occurred at the same time; in this instance, US indigenous Trunews removed from TuneIn Radio app-there may well be others-many others.
People generally don't care.
Peter Hitchens one of the very few sane intelligent people on this topic.
in the world
Yeah right - two weeks ago he was saying on GBNews that he couldn't see any reason why Putin would invade. I see he's been downgraded to having to speak to concrete boy now.
@@abbienormal1411 I'd say he changed his mind as soon as Ukraine joined nato,,,, nobody saw that coming,,, absolutly nobody,,, insanity it is,,, it's like the Russians putting a military base in Mexico or Cuba for that'matter like they did before during the cold War,,,, I'm seeing a lot of discrimination towards Russia people who have nothing to do with it,,,,, the EU and nato have caused this,,,
@@abbienormal1411 He made it very clear that it would be a very bad idea for Russia to attack Ukraine, just like many other people who are well-versed in this area. Russia's mistake doesn't undermine his reasonings.
@@abbienormal1411 Why do you expect perfection from people? I bet you like our politicians who've never a mistake, with spotless records.
Peter Hitchens is one of the few talking any bit of sense on this issue.
Also check out David Starkey's take.
He said there'd be no invasion.
@@stephfoxwell4620 Yes - I recall Peter last week on Talk Radio saying "Putin would be crazy to invade Ukraine" and that it wouldn't happen, that the Media and western governments were hysterical. Points about the West's role up-to this point aside, he was wrong in his prediction of what Putin would do.
Washington has been very quiet.
Letting Putin dig his own grave.
Hilarious.
@@stephfoxwell4620 so the media would have you believe.
Poked a bear and now shocked at the reaction. Crying war crimes when we have been bombing countries for years
It’s important that we understand how we got to where we are now, and I found Peter Hitchens view very informative. We have been so badly led by the elites for so many years.
He's spot on best take most honest take I've heard.
Here...here.
We (Britain, Europe, North America.) voted for the politicians who have led us here.
The Conservative party? Those elites?
@@deanwalker972 ...woof woof 😂
The Ukraine should be a neutral buffer state and should not be enticed into the EU and NATO. Nor should it be aligned with Russia. The Ukraine should trade with the whole world, attract foreign investment and fight its own endemic corruption.
That's really Putin's only demand.
I am afraid, it is too late.
Too late now
@@alexandrekodentsov9398 It was always too late.
@@carlvandenberg140 Looks like Ukraine is winning the info/social media war and Russia is winning the ground war, the one that counts. Soon now Russia will be in command.
Peter expressing some common sense on the issue. If only more would listen to him.
They are brainwashed
@@andresviveros3994 no help for the 🐑. The media barks and they flock to their enclosure
Peter always talks absolute sense and reason. His knowledge of these matters is second to none. He is of high principle and values. He is so right about the UK Governments over estimation of itself.
He has values but they are quite estranged from the real human struggle. I've never seen him smile or express genuine understanding towards us proletariat's lol, he often condemns groups such as poor abused women who seek alternatives to continuing on with birth and pregnancy or those far removed from the 1 percent, who make un-educated but innocent decisions that trap them in poverty and degradation. I couldn't imagine him living amongst socially housed citizens experiencing the constraints of disability, lack of access to social resources and living completely and utterly alone, with him then having any personal feelings of emotional warmth and understanding.
No he doesn’t. He is clearly incredibly arrogant and will not admit when he is wrong.
He's victim blaming, if you agree with him you're extremely gullible.
Hitchens amongst the debris gathers gold. Appreciate the non-hysterical types left in the world.
I think your conflating "non-hysterical types" lol with people who don't smile lololol or people who are just completely devoid of empathy and joy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤
I like him but he said something along the lines of "Putin would have to be insane to invade the Ukraine" which implied he didn't think Putin would do it.
@@lewisner he didn't think Putin would, he got that wrong. Everyone else knew it was coming.
am sure he could have found good reasons for the Germans attacking Poland in 1939
the problem is that he is totally wrong about the war and tits consequences for Russia and the world - typical western blidness, thinking Russia will suffer mujch due to the sanctions
When the elite and all their dogs align and go into overdrive on a single issue I start having massive suspicions.
Good. You are awake. It is a pity there are not more like you.
They are not elite but criminals and because the population hasn't hold them into account by putting them in Jail for their wicked ways, They will continue to cause mayhem
Also when they censure of TV station that actually has an alternative view on things then we surely know we've reached full Orwelian.
When Russians were bombing Chechnya in 1990-s, nobody in the world cared. At the same time, it is a good opportunity to get rid of Putin, indeed.
@@relaxing2979 When the US were bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria....nobody cared...good job to get rid of Bush and Obama?
And your point is?
Anyone from the generation who lived through the height of the Cold War knows that the face-off was between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. After 1990 the WP ceased to exist but NATO not only continued, but increased its membership. So, then we have the military might of NATO against one country - Russia. Not only that, but they prospect a country on Russia's border and Putin, rightly, would expect NATO to move military hardware in. Now the foolish Western foreign policy is to provide weaponry to Ukraine, when that was the source of the problem in the first place. The jokes are writing themselves.
What time is it in St Petersburg?
You explained it nicely in one paragraph but most of the people in the west don't realise the Ukrainians are being used as a proxy army by nato and haven't learned a thing from all the wars over the last 20-30 years and believe just about every lie they are told
@@chrisj2502 Exactly. Western "leadership" should be working on a strategy which allows Putin to extract himself without losing face, and Ukraine encouraged to declare neutrality.
@@James-gf9jl Ukraine is a sovereign country, it should be up to them what they do. Would you like to be told by someone in Russia we should leave the EU? (haha, funnily that happened). It's not up to us what other countries do, it's called sovereignty, or do you think vassal states are ok?
@@shuathe2nd I'm sure you don't mind if Iraq or Iran decided to go nuclear? I mean it's up to them and no country should intervene right? I'm sure the US would just stand by and watch Mexico forming a military alliance with Russia and having missiles placed along their border? We all remember how they didn't mind having missiles placed in Cuba. The hypocrisy is beyond belief. That's not how the world works, but keep riding your high horse with your rose-coloured glasses.
I remember looking on in shock when Russian speakers in Ukraine were told that they could no longer use their own language anymore. All Russian language newspapers were banned and TV stations taken off the air. The west said nothing.
And the Russian foreign minister said that the Russian language was banned and the media is not listening to him
Imagine if Drakeford banned English being spoken in Wales. There would be uproar in parliament
Exactly, nevermind the Ukraine Army and Neo Nazi Battalions shelling and killing innocent civilians ( Children especially ) . NATO has created this issue!
Was this banning of Russian language recent ?
Hitchens talking sense this is not our War. Boris is happy the heat is off him for the time being acting with promises he can't keep 🙄 shame he has not got the same passion for the people in this country well being
Why has boris gone so mad on this , when at home in UK migrant invasion the biggest threat to UK 🇬🇧since ww2 both financially and socially fix that 🤔
Biden, Boris and Trudeau all see this as a blessing in disguise.
What happened to Boris being questioned about partying and the case about face mask contracts? Swept under carpet! Now we spend money on the war we could have avoided if we agreed that Ukraine remained neutral! And our NHS is in collapsing and needs finance! Brexit borders in a mess , Irish problem, inflation!! Suits Boris now Ukraine because doesn’t know how to deal with domestic problems
Don't be silly Peter this man has been at the top of Russian politics for 20 years this wasn't the act of a madman. This is a calculated move by putin. He is not "mad" as Peter says.
Putin suffers from paranoia, so he is mad
@Jon First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Exactly. He might be an ex-KGB thug but stupid he is not. For all we know this battle is but one more chess move in a war we can't yet see.
@@mogznwaz Russia and chin have been hoarding gold since 2008. The Russians and Chinese have been playing 4d chess around the clowns in the West
No way you can get to that position and stay there for decades without being calculated
Peter speaks truth
At last. Peter is someone who gets it but something you won't here on the MSM
@Soul of a robot You are absolutely correct. Sometimes though you just have to separate the wheat from the chaff. It's about making the right decisions I suppose and informed decisions. Maybe I should go back to listening to the BBC, CNN, ABC channels instead??
I hear that Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and Justine Trudeau are doing well and looking out for the people lately

We need more people like People Hitchens to raise this, the West seems to have lost it's moral compass. We are only seeing one sided view in the British media, where is the free press especially banning RT News. So Sad.... :(
West nor the rest of the world ever had a 'moral compass' dummy. What planet are you living on?
RT is Russian propaganda. Russia has verbally and openly threatened the world with nuclear weapons while murdering women and children *en masse*. If you remain interested in hearing what RT has to say, I'm guessing you'd have remained interested in listening to the N'azi propaganda machine during the Second World War.
'RT News' is Russian state propaganda, literally. It spreads lies, knowingly. That is not part of having a free press. If a newspaper behaved like RT is would be shut down within the week for fraud.
This man is 100 percent right well done peter good on ya.
The truth is rarer than gold. Hitchens at least tries harder to find it.
if only we had leaders like Hitchens, he actually knows what he's talking about. Ukraine has been used.
Perfectly predictable. Zelensky is a fool. Or is compromised.
@@Torgo1969 zelensky wants to keep his ill gotten position and ill gotten gains. Nothing more.

@@yetidodger6650 😂
@@yetidodger6650 he has no trouble working for the Daily Mail group - he's a social conservative, after all. It's not unthinkable.
But while I might disagree with him on drug policy or gay marriage, Hitchens is decent, honest and one of the very few informed and sane commentators on foreign affairs. He doesn't just repeat official talking points. He spent many years in Russia, reporting admirably on the decline of the USSR and the Yeltsin era. I believe he'll be proved largely right about Corona too when all the facts have come out.
finally someone saying it exactly as it is! stop poking Putin simple!
Correct again. The man is a treasure
Bury him then.
Yet another national "treasure"...The list of national "treasures" is growing...
👏👏👏👏very good Peter I finally found someone with balance with this so called war .
Very very few people are talking the truth about the matter and instead jump on the same bandwagon of people that told us we weren't allowed to go outside or visit our dying family members in hospital....last week it was to dangerous to step outside ,now it's ok to risk nuclear armageddon
Yes agree & talk radio has been scaremongering & scaring our young like they haven't had enough! been suffocated with stinking muzzles etc & get injected or you kill granny ,pure evil . talk of world war puts fear into folk ,not me I'm critical thinker !send that lot in parliament let pepper pig go first .don't volunteer youngsters again .do they care about them after? no they don't .more homeless ex military that civilians .not 1 phone call with another narrative to this.Its now like MSM run by same people . Anyone see clip with film crew with sirens & all screaming & said cut & camera crew 2 takes 🧐🤯
Mike, yes West could easy stop Russian Intervention by accepting Russian demands and negotiate. West said "NO" to every single Russian proposal.
The West has no moral grounds to criticize Putin. Do you know how many countries Americans invaded after WW2? How many of them were "legal"?
Absolutely 💯 spot on!
Agree %100 well said
Unfortunately that's so true. I'm sick of the UK 🇬🇧 sucking up to the US too. Biden is just as bad as Trump and all those before him.
So good to hear you, Mr. Hitchens - a voice of sanity in sad, depressing times.
You do know only a few weeks ago he said there was no way Russia was going to invade Ukraine right?
@@testudohorsfieldii7052 I didn`t write ´infallible` ;o) - I think most people were wrong about how far Putin was prepared to go concerning Ukraine. But - to add a hopeful note - you may want to check out John Mearsheimer, 2015, about the Ukraine being lead down the primrose path by the West and in the end being crushed. He also said that Russia had accepted both the 1999 and 2004 NATO expansion - but that Russia said from 2006 onward that the integration of both Georgia and Ukraine was unacceptable.
Medvedev has stated with some finality that Russia has 'closed the book on cooperation with the West'. They have basically said the last 30 years of trying are finished and, from now on, they will prioritise other alliances. I don't blame them quite frankly. The West are incapable of facing up to their own evil and all the self-righteous posturing of the USA has made half the world heartily sick of all things American.
Spot on mate👍
Absolutely 💯 spot on Rhys. America is the root of most of the ills on planet earth today.

The only voice of reason in this whole debacle.
There's a few actually. But it seems none of them run countries.
Peter Hitchens. A man who knows what he's talking about, certainly on Russia. He was a correspondent there, and lived there, for many years. I hope people will listen to him.
They won't. The hysterical dopamine addicts who inhabit social media won't allow it.
Remember, the TRUTH is always the first casualty of War.
Watch the documentary ‘Ukraine on fire’ for an insight into the events that lead up to Russia’s incursion.
@IonCrox Yawn.
Peter makes sense and highlights how poor quality our leaders and ministers are.
They don't serve us that's clear as day they're taking orders from elsewhere it's painfully obvious.
How many countries has America invaded ? !
I totally agree with Peter.
The more I listen to this man the more I come to the conclusion that he may well have been the better of the two Hitchens(RIP Christopher) and that is saying a whole lot. I really liked Christopher but I found his militant atheism a little problematic even though I am agnostic myself(and no agnosticism and atheism are not the same thing). Peter has been spot on, on virtually every issue for the last 7 years that I have been following him. How lucky we are that Mrs Hitchens gave us not only one but two great men and when god decided to take one from us we still had the other.
Oh my this guy is great. And brave. He speaks closer to objectivity.
Wish there was another journalist to keep Mr Hitchens company. When he is gone it will be the end of an era. Perhaps courage is toxic masculinity today..

Beaurocracy and banking, rather than bombs and bullets; but the end is the same.
It's not a war. Its a fight between Russia and Ukraine.
Why didn’t we take President Putins concern seriously???
Because the west wants to paint him as a tyrannical lunatic. I have long thought that they pushed Putin far to much. I’m not saying he should be killing civilians and bombing Ukraine but he was pushed into this and given the means through his oil and gas pipeline to do it. The west is overly concerned with stupidity and nonsensical issues while the rest of the world just want to survive and make a decent living for themselves and their families.
Who is we?
@IonCrox Watch the documentary.
Peter Hitchens always rational.
Rational thinking people know who's to blame for this madness, just like they didn't believe msm over covid .
Ah yes, right, it's not Putin's fault that he's invading a sovereign country, it's the West's. Holy sh*t, I shudder to think what depths of self-loathing and bitterness have driven you to that conclusion. Also, whenever I hear someone use the phrase "msm" I know I'm dealing with a paranoid nutter sitting in his mom's basement frantically wondering why his QAnon heroes haven't yet taken control. So tell me this: which media is it that you believe? Please be as specific as possible. And one last question for you to chicken out of answering: the "msm", and Biden, and even Boris Johnson, said that Putin would invade Ukraine. Putin and Lavrov and Russia Today and the "alternative media" sneered at the idea and said there would be no invasion. Who was right and who was wrong? Let's see you demonstrate your "rationality" by answering that very, very simple question.
@@garyengland9549 I'm not sure which is more pathetic, the passive-aggressive little attempt to slither out of answering the question or your infant's grasp of grammar. Either way, you seem scared of the point I'm making. Why does it frighten you so much? Here it is again, in case you ever grow a pair and decide to answer it. Who was right - Putin and Lavrov and RT, who said there would be no invasion, or Biden and Johnson and the BBC, who said there would be? It's strange that such a simple question would have you quaking in your boots. Face your fears and answer it. You'll feel more of a man when you do.
Peter tries to have a grown up conversation unlike the large majority of the hysterical media.
I would whether Mike can arrange a debate with Peter and maybe Konstantin Kisin.
Hitchens and Russell Brand have assessed the prelude to this situation well..
Thank you, Peter. 🙏
As always Peter is spot on.
Peter Hitchens is a national treasure just as his brother. What an intelligent knowledgable man 👍👍
Hitchens is wise and measured. He should be listened to intently by all.
I like Hitchens and I agree with him quite a lot about Russia and NATO, but I'd hardly describe Ukraine as a "battering ram". If that was how the west was using it, it would have been a NATO member years ago, or at least moving in that direction.
Nikita Krusthew played high in 1962. But he won. The US removed the rockets from Turkey.
And he made a epic statement:
"We must avoid the big war, because in this war, de living will envy the dead!"
Mr Hitchens, who decries any Western political 'expansion' into countries that he considers akin to Russia's property, is presumably much quieter regarding Russia's direct interference in the election of Donald Trump, which let us not forget, nearly brought American democracy down, as well as the potential involvement of Russia in the Brexit referendum. Care to comment, Peter?
3:51 - '. . . once the elite decide on a particular policy, all those who are expert in that matter in the civil, foreign, military and intelligence services are marginalised BUT all those who sing the government tune are promoted and listened to - a universal feature of governments everywhere' - happened just recently I seem to remember - LOCKDOWN MASKS SOCIAL DISTANCING ETC ETC
Yep. Brexit in a nutshell
Peter was absolutely sure Putin wasnt going to invade, its hard taking his perspective without a grain of salt on this subject now.
Sounds like he's a bit of a hack, no?
Exactly
Opinions are like.Well you know. Reasons why its happening dont matter,,it is,,what we need now are solutions
No-one thought he would because we assumed Russia has been entirely cowed by Western military dominance since the end of the Cold War. But never underestimate the actions of an ex KGB autocrat who hasn't gotten over Russia's humiliating loss of its Empire
Pet Hitchens. Start a damned RUclips channel and you’d have all the time you need to say what you want to your own audience. Build it and they will come.
Don’t think that he would get air time on RT at the moment. Peter is a communist and always has been so no surprise where his loyalties lie.
M JS He was a bolshevik in his younger days. He has explained that process and how he is no longer a bolshevik.

No!
Of course I was terribly terribly drunk....
I don’t “think”🧐
I really hope he does and records it all for future generations to learn from
Well said Peter I blame NATO and the west
Blame Facebook, Twitter and all the dopamine addicts, none of whom have a scooby-doo.
Nobody can accuse this man of being a Putin shill, he has been sternly anti Putin for years and still is. If anyone has the right foundation to criticize our foreign policy involvement in this conflict, it’s this man.
He's absolutely on the money. Make no mistakes former USSR no angels but history shows wherever America have gone its ended in disaster.
Our hearts are with everyone and every single innocent who suffer
Peter Hitchens: "If I see a child annoying a wasp and the wasp stings the child and I say to the child "Well, that was your own stupid fault", am I defending the wasp? No, I'm attacking the stupidity of the child."
A version of 'she was asking for it'
Except we're not talking about an insect that can't understand human language. If Putin and his cronies are annoyed by something, it's their problem to fix. Seek counseling, etc.
Peter is like a breath of fresh air.
What a pair of parents to create to such a pair of sons 👏
Nice one Peter - nice to hear someone say what I think.
Don't know why, but I always agree with everything I hear Peter H saying.

He never changes tact.

All that help in moneys and arms has done Ukraine very little good by the looks of it. Perhaps staying out of their affairs would have been a more appropriate course of action. Now we should all get behind the latest negotiation effort to seize the carnage.

Very balanced quick explanation.
So let me get this right. The west invaded Ukraine? What a Pratt this guy is.
