Well done & well said!! An intellectual from Finland is exactly what we need to understand what is happening. Thanks for sharing 🤍
I think you need to do a bit research on this "intellectual" :) No one takes him seriously in Finland. He is a joke here.
@@Nobody-Nowhere your loss maybe
Good to have you back, Prof Stubbs... Looking forward to this series.
Great first episode. Really enjoyed the cool calm Finnish take. Look forward to a lot more.
just to add to that, you observe this very sane, insightful, cool former Finnish politician and then you compare to what a paranoid, delusional, unhinged little maggot-ridden cretin Tsar Putin is, it really makes me angry to hear pundits say "Putin is not crazy and he is not stupid" - well I beg to differ, he is crazy and he is really f*****g stupid., a geo-political clown who got more NATO not less and wrecked his country's economy for his demented views on the world! 🙃
Is Putin THAT unpredictable? He said many times over many years what he intended to do with Ukraine. This partial mobilization was written all over the walls for some weeks, and unavoidable since the successful counter-attack of the UAF. If one puts himself/herself into his shoes (and most importantly his mind), then what he does makes sense and is predictable.
What is more unpredictable is what the people around him will do or not do. I think that not even Putin himself knows...
..Hes growing more and more desperate, a cornerd and desperate animal can become highly unpredictable...
yes thers been a mobilsation of volounters for about a month...volunnters that would sign up freely for return pay to thir famillies in case thay didnt survive...
about 100 000 was sent to the front...a front that collapsed the 20st..
now reservist forces are activated (home def units), that doesent even want to fight...the only wich thay had was to defend russia if ever attacked....the motivation to go fight in another country is below low, and we se signs of it on the streets of russia, the airport, the borders, and train stations...tens of thousands flee russia in panic.,
I doupt it will have any effet at all on the outcome besides more Russian deaths.
The threath of weaponds of mass destruction is faar more serious, not that it chenges anything, thers a slight possibility that in desperation a limited number would be used, but it would also effectivy destry Russia as a nation.
Alex: we will ofc defend Finland once again if nessesary...u know who...
@@Patrik6920 keep deceiving yourself. Ask the Ukrainians.
On what the people arround him will do there is a simple aswer. He took care of that on februari 21 just before the start of the invasion. It was televised and completly misunderstood by western "Russia specialists".
He invited all the people that could pose a risk to him. Heads of intelligence, army, political figures, oligarchs,.... One by one they were asked by Putin basically the question if they supported the upcoming "special operation" or not. There responses were all televised. So no one could show up later to say that they were against it from the start.
Here is a short clip of this event.

“Do not negotiate with Putin -- any time you show any weakness for his demands, he will just push forward”. Absolutely! Any negotiation he has ever done is just to further his other aims: identify assassination targets amongst negotiating teams, buy time to reposition and rearm his forces. Allowed Crimea, he had to have Donetsk & Luhansk. Allowed those, he had to have all of Ukraine. Once having Ukraine, he would have rolled over all of Moldova in a day. And so on.

From an interview with Columbia University Professor Paul Christie in 2014:
Question:
"That is, the West does not intend to give Ukraine to Russia?"
Paul Christy:
“And what does Ukraine have to do with it? Whether a united Ukraine will remain on the world map or fall apart, it has absolutely no significance for solving the main problem.
The main task of the events in Ukraine is to separate Europe from Russia so that the Europeans completely refuse cooperation with Russia and reorient their economy towards full cooperation with the United States. The main goal is to tie the European economy to the US economy. And what will happen in Ukraine in general is of no interest to anyone. The agreements of February 21, when the leaders of the Ukrainian opposition and representatives of France, Germany and Poland signed an agreement with Yanukovych on early presidential elections in Ukraine, were doomed to failure in advance.
- Why?
Yes, because if this agreement were implemented, the discord in Ukraine would subside, and then there would be no question of any severance of economic ties between Ukraine and Russia.
Therefore, it was necessary to grossly violate the agreement, which was done. Both Russia and Europe were to become hostages to the complete unpredictability and illogicality of the actions of the new Ukrainian authorities. In order to break the economic ties between Europe and Russia, it is necessary to intimidate the Europeans with the Russian threat so much that they themselves wish to do it.
The media must constantly talk about the growing tension in Ukraine, about the violence and brutality perpetrated by the Russians, so that Europe is ripe for a break."...............
@@rosemarin4750 my god, you callow , shallow child! I was in the Baltic in the early 1990s when Putin, fresh from being sacked from the mayor’s office in St Petersburg for corruption, was appearing all over Russian TV stations, being grovelled to by their TV news anchors (a period where he now claims he was a taxi driver!). Everyone knew the prosecutors would have to be suicidal to proceed with their case. He was already infamous as someone who had his enemies assassinated. He was making such hawkish noises on TV that people in Latvia & Lithuania thought invasion was imminent. (Ironically,mhe was part of what propelled them so enthusiastically into the EU and Nato.) He was already, not councidentally, said to be the richest man in Russia. Take your cut and paste irrelevancy and shove it!
Nice series. Hope there will more soon.
As always, clear and informative. Thank you

Thank you for these updates Prof. Stubb’. Would you possibly touch on the Minsk Agreement or Accord? Why is it not being followed? Do you think this war can be negotiated to peace or has it gone to far & also what will the world be like after this war is completed. Thank you for & time & attention to this matter.

Cindy Putin can surrender any day and pull out his invading troops and pay reparations.
He never will talk about that, that’s is reason why i thinks is another propagandist Russophobic, he only focuses on Putin, this Putin that, but he never brings the reality of this conflict, I don’t buy it, in west we start this campaign to demonise Putin, since 2007 after Munich security congress, only just because Putin isn’t Gorbachev or Yeltsin, is someone different with different views of history and he’s country, the arrogant behaviour of western kindergarten leaders is the real reason why Putin become what we are seeing today, after Cold War , they keep humiliating Russians and provoke them with NATO military facilities on their border , surrounded them the mean time they keep saying NATO is peaceful alliances which is faking bullshit, now all this propagandist sitting down keeping their fake news even provocation.
Well actually, I have seen the entire speech and you haven't shown shown what he really said.
What did he say?
Nice job. Thanks for doing this.
Great video Alex, informative telling & extremely timely, well done, looking forward to more sober content from you.
How is Putin desperate when it's the European economy crumbling and their citizens paying 10 times more for energy. Now some European countries are coming up with hush punishment for a citizen who use too much gas. Russia has time, and energy on their side. Stop talking nonsense about Putin desperate.....Numbers don't lie Alex, the European politicians gotta start telling their citizens the truth and get ready for poverty.
A mature man is prepared to die at any moment, but a young man........ 😵
It’s the other way around.
Mature men aren't dumb enough to run towards bullets. That why militaries like 18 year-olds as soldiers.

Thanks for the comments, Rose, but I feel that they should be directed to the author of the film rather than my modest comment. I wish you were right and if we turn the backs on Ukraine and Russia and lean towards the US we solve the problem. In Dugin's publications, that many say it is Putin's cookbook, Ukraine is only the beginning (well, the beginning was Georgia, actually) and once Ukraine is digested, Putin will come back for the rest as a main course. In the simplistic and dogmatic way Dugin sees the world, everything is all a gargantuan fight to the death between the U S and Russia and all else (read Europe) are just pawns in this new Great Game.
To (miss)quote Trodsky "you may not be interested in Russia, but Russia is certainly interested in you..."
Cheers mate
Thank-you. Your perspective and opinions are appreciated.
Wonderful, a new series! Good to see you again. I've been stocking up on books, bought a lot of the books you recommended for the Summer. Love them so far!
Could you do a video on how Europe is getting on since the conflict started too and the outlook for public support in the long term? The price Europe has had to pay is quite high and it may get higher. Re Nuclear, I can see the “Hiroshima” defence argument being used - like the Americans did in Japan (I.e. we had to do it to bring the war to an end). Hopefully not.
That only worked the first time because noone else had nuclear weapons. If Putin pushes the button it has a not insignificant chance to start a full on nuclear war with the rest of the world.
Europe is more or less in a unified opinion on the war, pro Ukrain and anti Putin. The main problem has been the increase in gas and electricity price, but we are slowly getting the deficit from Russia replaced.

Bullshit fake news propaganda
Always great content and opinions
Where is the next episode? So much has happened in the last 10 days and I look forward to your analysis of what it means.
Joe Biden lecturing at the UN about imperialism and condemning countries taking land from other countries was one of the best comedy stand-up routines I've seen in a while.
While I am a liberal American, I agree with your observation. We Americans are delusional, exceptionalist hypocrites. When the dust settles after putting putin in his place, we need to apply these values to ALL nations, including and especially the USA.
Someone send him the book America’s deadliest export by William Blum. do you hear this mr Stubs you read it too.
@@theobserver9131 It would help to have applied the moral values *before* demanding them from Russia. Saying we'll apply it after we force Russia to comply doesn't work imho. Crying about how terrible Bucha is rings hollow when Americans cover up war crimes all over the globe and arrest the journalists who expose the crimes.
And they keep looting sirian oils in occupied territory faking world
There is a fascist faction right in the United States that opposes everything Joe Biden says or does.
I don’t want to be identified with them.
This meeting was not in Kazakhstan, it was in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.

So Nice to see you again Dr. Stubbs! Your lectures are always illuminating.
The narrative Dr Stubbs presented here is not only deceitful but very troubling. This is the same garbage (propanganda) that is being distributed in the west unfortunately making most westerners so ignorant of the real situation.
Before you guys pounce of me and start to spew uninformed comments, why don't you take time to research on the following:
CAUSE OF NATO EXPANSION, MINSK AGREEMENT, PUTIN'S SPEECH (MUNICH SECURITY CONFERENCE)
Also take time to watch & Listen to the following people irrespective that you may consider them to be Russian propagandists: John Meishemer, The Duran, Redacted and a whole lot of others.
We are in dangerous times and all need to be fully informed and aware of what truly is going on. Wishing all the best outcome.
After watching this video, I binge watched the entire lecture series😅
Excellent presentation as usual. Hope some of the supposed waiverers watch this and take note.
Thank you!
Interesting video. Could you make one about the US involvement with the Ukraine uprising in 2014? Specifically the actions of Victoria Nuland. It seems that this is viewed entirely through the scope of a western lens.
And maybe he could do a video on the members of the DPR and LPR who started the annexation process. A lot of attention on Azov but none on the men who are behind the push to secure new territory for Russia.
Why? We don’t need to hear conspiracy theories that feed into Russian propaganda. It boggle the mind that anyone thinks that the events of 2014 were somehow orchestrated the US. And it doesn’t matter any more. Putin has now ensured that Ukraine will never be pet of Russia.
@@veronicamaine3813 It isn't conspiracy. The origins of war don't matter? Your last sentence is a conflicting statement. Russia always wanted Ukraine to be neutral, which is was, it was only when the US pushed them into taking their position Russia reacted. It isn't rocket science. Would the US allow Mexico to keep russian nukes in it? Don't be silly.
@@magpiegirl3783 well, you can do it yourself. There is plenty of information about the whole situation in the beginning. Check out Graham Phillips channel for example, he is an independent British journalist who was covering this situation from the inception in 2014. You can find the interviews with civilians from both sides and see how it all unfolded.
@@valmaks9531 uhhh independent... Not very.
Great video. But it's a little bit naive thinking that someone will be training russians before sending them into the hell. In Ukraine we are now mocking this mobilization, calling it могилізація (mogilizatsya), which is some game of the words "mobilization" and "grave". It seems to be the best description of what will be going on for the next months
If Russia really want you country should look like Aleppo.
Now they are 'drafting' arrested protesters for combat duty . It will be sad, but we can predict the kind of performance from these poor lads when they toss a gun in their hands against furiously motivated Ukrainian men!
@@alexsalemo9137 before russia invaded Ukraine for the second time, I had heard many times that Ukraine would not be able to defend itself against such a huge and powerful war machine. But today, after 7 months of a large-scale warfare, they decided to announce mobilization. The question is: what is the point of engaging 300k people when officially russian army has more than 1 million men. Let's make a presumption which rests on the information available in the Internet. According to these sources approximately 250k men are being engaged in this war. Let's take the highest possible death toll and add 50k killed. There is rule in military science, which points out that the ratio of wounded and killed men is 3:1. So, we need to take into consideration 150k wounded russian soldiers. 250k+50k+150k=450k men, which means that there are more than 500k available. But it looks like these brave soldiers exist only in documentation of russian generals, if mobilization is needed to keep fighting. That is how russia works. Its system is corrupted and unable to function well. And it is not said only by me, but by the russians themselves. For example,igor girkin says that mobilization is being conducted awfully and inefficiently, which can be proved by huge number of videos with drunk mobilized russians, complete lack of discipline and etc.
Remains to be seen who'll be filling those graves though! So far the Russians got you beat 10 to 1 or something like that, no?
For some of us who despise russia and ukraine equally, I can honestly say, beofre you laugh at russia you should look in the mirror. How's your seventh mobilization going in ukraine? Drafting 65 year old men and how's your politicians saying and doing everything possible to instigate this war. Ukraine is the same garbage as russia. You're not victims. You are just as responsible for this war as russia.
Amen to Remo. I appreciate your narrative. Thoughtful.

Considering annexing lands as a sign of desperation is rather creative thinking.
Winners annex lands, a Finn should remember. Well maybe this dude has had too much education in USA and UK🤗
If 150 000 russians were defeating ukrainian 1 000 000 man army, albeit slowly, 450 000 might do it a bit faster vs 350 000 that is left.
That is actually what India and China begged Russia to do...and it obliged.
USA is impotent in land war. Their only option left is to wage limited nuclear war in Europe, they have been equipping for atleast 30 years now. Our only hope is that they believe when Russia says, they will not tolerate that. But USA thinks nuckear war will not escalate to their home and Russia will response only in Europe. Will we see that🙄

Excellent 🎉!
An unpredictable Putin who has us guessing what his next move will be is a real power trip for him .
thats why it needs to be made clear to Russia that any use of a nuclear weapon will result in a retaliation by the West and destruction of the Russian forces, there can be no ambiguity about this
I love this guy's analysis.
Thanks a bunch.
I just have one question.
What are we going to do about it?
Fight or flight?
If Russia reports it's KIA's as less than 9K why would they need to mobilize? Maybe that number is much higher? Too little too late. Thanks for the great vid.
RUSSIA NEEDS to mobilize to secure a new 1,000 km border. The entire Russian force, including allies is about 130,000 soldiers. The professional soldiers in theater are on 6 month contracts. The mobilization is for another year. The Russians lack the manpower in the field to advance and address the terrorism. More manpower is needed to deal with NATO DEPLOYMENTS AND SUPPORT.

This analysis is a pure diamond. I concur with every single word you said.
If nuke's are needed by Ukraine , give mailing address to send cash.
Tnx Pro.Alex,I learned good academic way of understanding events.But you mostly side to say (...lost this war).Geography is a power to win some how/what in any aspirations.How be it managed to gain more profite through time? we will see more than to days news.
Kiitos Alex! *
Impressive analysis, Alexander really did his homework.
Finland, not only its military but just as much its political capabilities will be a great new asset to NATO.
Welcome in the family, Finnish sisters and brothers, together we are stronger in our strive for a more peaceful world.
Finland is a nice looking cake, but inside it is a piece of shit. 1. Look at us now, we are the only european country letting Russian tourists in, because we can't make a simple decision.
2. The whole world was praising Finland, how great prepareness it has for pandemics. Reality was a total catastrophy. 3. And then the corruption level in Finland, it is said it is least corrupted country in the world. Let me tell you a secret, we are the only country where corruption is not measured. So of course there is not much corruption, visible. 4. Oh I could continue this list of hidden flaws of Finland like country sized casinos (Highest addiction level gambling machines in grocery stores) or our bad elderly care or our fucked up school system or kindergarden where kids gets only water. THESE ARE ALL FACTS.
Haha, if only _some_ would just verify us entering finally.
Finland next to Russia tooo

Really ? By the way honestly did you listen Mr. Putin speech ? This so called Pro. DUMB lying from very basic about Mr. Putin's speech .
Nice and clear, rational analysis, thank you for sharing. I have to agree that Putin doesn’t know when to stop digging his hole and perhaps sees no current option but to dig further.
Very interesting. Thanks 👍
Well, how much do you know about the current situation?
From an interview with Columbia University Professor Paul Christie in 2014:
Question:
"That is, the West does not intend to give Ukraine to Russia?"
Paul Christy:
“And what does Ukraine have to do with it? Whether a united Ukraine will remain on the world map or fall apart, it has absolutely no significance for solving the main problem.
The main task of the events in Ukraine is to separate Europe from Russia so that the Europeans completely refuse cooperation with Russia and reorient their economy towards full cooperation with the United States. The main goal is to tie the European economy to the US economy. And what will happen in Ukraine in general is of no interest to anyone. The agreements of February 21, when the leaders of the Ukrainian opposition and representatives of France, Germany and Poland signed an agreement with Yanukovych on early presidential elections in Ukraine, were doomed to failure in advance.
- Why?
Yes, because if this agreement were implemented, the discord in Ukraine would subside, and then there would be no question of any severance of economic ties between Ukraine and Russia.
Therefore, it was necessary to grossly violate the agreement, which was done. Both Russia and Europe were to become hostages to the complete unpredictability and illogicality of the actions of the new Ukrainian authorities. In order to break the economic ties between Europe and Russia, it is necessary to intimidate the Europeans with the Russian threat so much that they themselves wish to do it.

I enjoyed the format. I hope this series continues. Easily digestible. I am currently in gobal studies and our topic has been about russia and the Baltics.
Hi Alex.. how about evaluating the events up to feb 24 and critiquing zelenskis behavior.
What was Bucharest 2008 all about.
How about Minsk agreements.
Zelenski could have avoided this easily.
Why no talk of peace right now.
Great presentation Alex.
Thank you Alex .🇬🇧
Dude's insights are always intellectually solid.
Alexander, I truly loved your series and your ongoing work. Please translate all your videos in Russian and get it out so Russians can try to understand what value driven liberal democracy actually means. They all indeed fall for political realism and see no other explanation of Putin’s actions.
As a Russian who dreaded this war before it even started, I have to agree this type of content is actually inspiring. There is gravitas in the analytical and rational approach Alexander shows to the conflict. Whyle there is tons of misinformation flying around from both sides, it's extremely important to have this kind of reliable analysts and public educators who show that the situation is being carefully studied and is actually well-understood by the policymakers. Keep up your great work, and deep appolagies for the crisis the shortcomings of our political culture has created.
Also, I can answer some questions if anyone is interested in what's going on from our side.
Ты просто очень глупы. У тебя нет Русский душе.
Russians will not understand it, unfortunately, our society is a lost cause.
Today when i saw messages about “what to take to the protests”, listing “water bottles, charged power banks and a photocopy of passport” - then i have lost any illusions that i had for our people. We have created this madman with all of his wrongdoings, and we deserve what’s coming next.
I read your comment with its reference to 'political realism' As a novice and a newbie in the discipline of international relations I am curious to learn more what p.r. means. I have watched Dr. Mearshimer, advocate of the 'realism' school of international relations defend Putin's position in the current conflict. Putin has stated that NATO's steady encroachment and encirclement on Russia's border is an 'existential threat' to the people of Russia. I would say that the UN's 'encroachment' is simply sovereign nations choosing to join a club and if Ukraine wants to join it's none of his business. In fact, the liberal democratic values held by NATO represent an 'existential threat' to Putin's kleptocrat autocracy. I would appreciate any instruction you may have regarding 'realism' in ir.
Because the the actual world functions on realism not fairytale values...
Thank you.
Thank you Alex …
Glad to hear your take on this. The series felt like so long ago... And I agree, we must not budge one inch! He has far and beyond anything that can be accepted internationally!
I have been missing your content for a while now. Right or wrong ... I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on ruZZia's insane war, they help me formulate my own. This is all new to me, I've never watched a idiot take a country from world power to pariah state before.
I never realized how big of a idiot he actually was until this shit show. He’s a dullard who’s doomed to repeat history.
I guess the American Administration didn't initiate this entire crisis from day 1 with proxy Ukraine to degrade Russia and destroy the Rise of BRICS et al 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 at all Costs to ensure American Imperialistic World Dominance of the 💲💲💲💥🚀 !
No , America wouldn't do that but they did murder millions of Vietnamese Civilians in Vietnam 63/73 for NO good reason . Assassinate adversaries around the World by the droves and multiple Coups to present day !🤣 And saying Russia defending 33 thousand Civilians in Odessa was a Coup against Georgia proves where your brains are at !
Pure western brainwashed numbskulls 🤣 Science 101: There is No smoke without 🔥
Well summarized. 👌🏻
The thing is Everyone thought Russia would win within a week...No one saw a superpower crumbling
Pariah state in whose eyes, given that 85% of the world isn't on board the self-harming, and Europe destroying, US imposed, Russia sanctions band wagon? In the eyes of the permanent wars-conducting Anglo-Atlanticist neoconservative neo-feudal, neo-imperialist class of globalist b illionaires?? WTF?
You're incredibly thoughtful Alex.

Excellent !
Thank you very much for your very insightful analysis. I would like to add a few more thoughts. One of the first UN secretaries-general, Dag Hammarskjold, said: "The UN was not created to take mankind to heaven, but to save humanity from hell". Given that the UN was founded after the end of the Second World War in order to prevent humanity from falling into such a catastrophe ever again, it seems to me that now is the time when it should react. Unfortunately, the Security Council is a toothless tiger because of Russia's expected veto, and I also don't see any sense in repeated condemnation of Russian act in the General Assembly (I highly doubt that China, who has its own interest would condemn this latest act of Putin, and it would be very likely remain abstained again). The whole thing is strongly reminiscent of Hitler's times, when a lot of people died and suffered because of one man. How many more will have to die? If the UN was created to save humanity from hell, I think now is the time to do much more and prevent a catastrophe. We can't just wait on the reasonable behaviour of one dictator and asking would he use a nuclear weapon or not.
One question: What do youu think should be the solution for the Donbassproblem?
Putin is a good man. The ones stoking for war is US,UK...NATO.
Why not consider NATO expansion and its consequences?
Please think also of the people in the Donbass, of the 8 years of war and since the US coup by the Kiev regime murdered 14,000.
They wanted accordingly Minsk treaty to be Russians, free from fascists in Ukraine. Well now it's different.
World war 2 certainly didn't happen because of one man, just like this war hasn't happened just because of Putin. There's no "good" or "evil" sides in the real world. It's all complex geopolitics and history, gambles, alliances, betrayals, calculations...
If you were Russian you wouldn't consider Putin evil, if you were American you wouldn't consider NATO expansion as a problem. That's why I try to have an objective view, and then decide which side is more in the wrong.
If you put yourself in the Russian government, NATO expansion is definitely a threat and a problem. Just like Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba were a problem for the US, and understandably so.
Sadly people are viewing Russia as an evil imperialist empire led by a mad dictator, which is so far from the truth. There is no reason to impose sanctions on Russian civilians and their culture, that's a violation of human rights in my view. Trying to make the common folk in Russia revolt by specifically targeting their basic human rights.
And lastly I want you to consider this fact. There were peace talks back in April and almost an agreement, but western governments discouraged Ukrainians from signing the deal. Why? If they truly cared about the Ukrainian people they would have solved this diplomatically, especially before the military operation started, because it was much easier to negotiate back then. Now with the partial mobilization, Russia is going all in, and all peace talks are thrown out the window. Why do NATO and EU have to decide the faith of Ukraine, isn't Ukraine supposed to be a sovereign state and not a puppet of the west? This is all so ironic and twisted, and Ukrainian people are paying with their lives.
My assessment is Putin is doing his best to save his own skin regardless of the consequences.
Save is own skin from who ? Another stup*d expert 👉🏻🤡
Thats absolutely right.🇷🇺👍
Go Russia 🇷🇺. The world is watching you that you are right, and fight against evil west, corrupted by evil leaders. Russia is serious of their words. They have the word of honor. unlike the liar western countries who posted fakes news.
Pretty sure Russia is ok. Alot of propaganda floating around. Never know what is real or fake anymore.
Yeah stupid analyst

Love your Analysis
Delusional
I am so happy I found this channel :) . Your'e lectures are so nicely communicated and just great! Thank You Alex!
Thank you for spending the time to create and share this content. Sometimes temporarily lose track of how much of a powerhouse Stubb really is, he’s up there with the worlds upper echelons such as but not limited to: John Kirby, Bill Clinton(referring to intellectually/etc in his prime, not all the other baggage obviously), Stoltenburg, etc
Should exclude Bill Clinton. Speaking as an American, Bill Clinton is not in the same league as Mr. Stubb. Bill Clinton cannot be trusted nor does he have the geopolitical understanding to be heard as Mr. Stubb. Both Bill Clinton and his wife are habitual liars and fakers. This man is a true, honest intellectual, a statesman who understands what he is talking about. America has no leaders in office currently who are capable of speaking as Mr. Stubb did in this video.
He was a mediocre prime minister at best, not the sharpest tool in the toolbox.
I wouldn't waste time listerning his nonsense.
@@Hervast1 I totally agree with you my friend. I'm not polish but his series aren't sharp or special or anything as other listeners might think. It is shut like talking in circles and not giving real answers.
Great speech! Thank you.
Thank you Alex!! We love your videos
Great job Alex, always thanks for your insight!
I honestly think that Putin's stubbornness is leaving only 3 possible ways to end this war:
* his death
* the collapse of Russia because at some point it simply cannot continue anymore
* nuclear war, which would be the end of Russia as a country, as well as the end of millions of people around the world
I really hope that the Russian people understand the consequences of these three options, and will choose the one that their country will be able to survive.
Trouble is, whereas the majority of Russian citizens probably realise that the nuclear option is to be avoided at all costs, a few crazy people in the Kremlin would be all for it (and the Kremlin crazies control the button).
Putin will destroy the planet before ever seeing Russia collapse like Iraq or Libya or via deep state interference from the US.
take him out the only way

Awesome content- subscribed and thank you. We saw a vote… not specifically on the invasion, but on allowing Zelinski’s ability to address the assembly in absentia. Quite interesting results…
Love how he uses "unpredictable" to be diplomatic - when really he means "crazy"
Putin is s mediocre tactician and a bad strategist. He was just lucky and picked on so weak opponents that no one noticed all the deficits and mistakes.
Which world are you referring to?
Great content
Delusional
Great episode Dr. Stubb, thank you for your insight. The UK gave Ukraine a lot of training but would Finland be able to train them in winter warfare to keep pressure on the russians during the winter.
Ukraine winter is not so cold and bad as Finnish winter. But if Russia attacks to Finland, I guess we could use some Ukrainian troops in Finland and then training of them would be sensible.
This man is a total stooge. Even the longtime ministry employees and colleagues have said as much that this man was an incompetent fool.
Great, thanks a lot

Force is the language to be used against an aggressor !
I must disagree. You don't end wars by providing weapons to one of the players. You just extend and it causes more deaths.
you think yielding to an imperialist dictator's first steps will lead to less wars and deaths? History teaches us the opposite. You either stop him at his tracks or figth a bigger empire tomorrow, closer to home.
@@vasileios9086 the mathematics is simple: you give more weapons for a hostile country, more people will die. It is naive to believe that by providing guns to Ukraine they will win this war.
I have always said this. I don't see the logic in giving weapons to Ukraine when it's fighting a militarized and power country like Russia who also happens to be it's neighbour
@@michaelopoku4837 because it's less expensive both financially and in terms of human life to fight Russian aggression by providing training, finances and intelligence to a motivated opponent.

NOTABLE POINT there is no 'partial mobilization' you either declare general mobilization or you don't. There is no limit to how many will end up being drafted!!
No one is even talking about what caused this war in the first place all I'm getting here and there is power, just to let you know what Putin is doing now has been discussed in SCO meeting so don't think he's losing international support, they all know what US is up to
What caused this war? Easy. Putin desire to restore failed Soviet Empire.
People have stopped talking about what caused this war because it's common knowledge, russia didn't want to lose its influence over European countries.
Khazarian mafia anyone?
I’m so bored with people like u.
Who cares why criminal/corrupt states do what they do, we are simply free democratic countries, with acces to all information, try it once, you will never go back, no one should fear Putin and his corrupt regime, Russia will be history, if they try any nuclear action and Putin knows it, IT IS BLUFF !!!
I am thankful that you were not my lecturer. I would have failed. He never once said he would use nuclear weapons to attack. He did say if Russia was attacked and could not defend itself fully with conventional weapons he would then use nuclear weapons.
Great analysis.
