Paul Warburg pointed out that Zelensky made a speech in which he said less than 10% of promised US military aid has arrived. This means Ukraine can do without US military aid in a pinch. Trump has very little leverage in this regard. Moreover, the Ukraine industrial-military base has developed now, enabling long-distance strikes into Russia. Also, Ukraine has refrained from hitting certain Russian oil targets on the Black Sea, as this will drive up oil prices, causing the US President some grief. If Trump removes aid, they are free to wreck havoc on oil prices. Without leverage, Trumps threats to Ukraine are useless.
And then there's that small issue that if Ukraine feels abandoned and Zelensky believes they have nothing left to lose, they could just build a few baby suns, attach them to drones, and fling them at Russia's oil refineries. The radiation would make it impossible for people to repair the sites for years.
@@WatcherCCG "Zelensky believes they have nothing left to lose," Well, i don't think that, that is kinda blackmail. There was a treaty signed by both US and Russia who pledged to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity and borders. Russia already broke that, so if US stops supporting, partnering with Russia or decide new borders would brake that treaty, and other treaties around the world would be questionable, can other countries trust US?. I mean, thats how i see it.
The EU population is over 3 times that of Russia and the EU economy is hugely more. The EU should be well placed without the US, to cope with Russian aggression. If they can’t then it needs to change and change quickly.
Additional multi-year packages have been commited by Denmark, Uk, Sweden, Portugal and Lithiania. European countries have provided the most aid in total (military, financial and humanitarian). Most of the US funding supports American industries who produce weapons and equipment.
As the North Koreans are on the ground. I think it’s only a matter of time before Poland 🇵🇱 find an excuse, not that they need it, to enter the fray…… For example protecting the northern boarder…. That’s what I’d do…. And I’m only a Sparks ⚡️
Whoever will control Crimea - will control the black sea,due to strategic location. Russia controls areas in Ukraine now, worth at least $12 trln in natural resources only. and Russia is already monetizing on that.
I have had enough of all these self defined "expert" pundits commenting on things that didn't happen yet, through the glasses of their ideology. Trump didn't say anything yet about his plans for the russo-ukrainian war, let him speak first and only then go ahead and comment. Learn how to do proper journalism.
Much of this analysis is reasonable but your comment on Trumps motivation around the 2.5% of GDP is absurd. Trump is not actually a “businessman”. This is such basic thinking. He was just using the 2% number as a tool. Now that’s been crossed he will up the number. It’s not strategic at all. It’s not a business deal. It’s all for political theatre. How do you not see that.
Trump peut décider ce qu'il, que ça penche en faveur de la russie ou de l'ukraine, Poutine s'en fout et se moque de lui derrière son dos. Quand je vois tous ses pays qui "aide" pas comme il le faudrait l'ukraine je pense à cet adage: "aide-toi et le ciel d'aidera" Zelensky doit penser à sa bombe de dissuassion, POINT.
L'Europe se réveille... lentement. Une aide continuera d'affluer. Entre temps l'économie moscovite est en train de se planter. Il va faire du vilain là-bas.
OK Look. For Trump, helping Ukraine against Russia is too difficult to achieve especially if Ukraine should win. Easier is to sell Ukraine. Also cost more and Trump would be seen OK by people who voted for him. So because he is a weak person, Ukraine will have to loose.
Times Radio brought out another loony.😂😂😂 Putin stated his conditions for even starting negotiations on the basis of Istanbul quite clearly. 1. Full Ukrainian withdrawal from the regions that are included in Russian constitution; 2. Recognition and acceptance from Ukraine that these regions are Russian; 3. Acceptance of Ukraine's neutral status. Istanbul also included restrictions on Ukrainian army armaments and a number of personal. Russians categorically rejected any freeze of the conflict Korea-style. These conditions can get only tougher by the time. Even Trump wouldn't be able to accept these conditions explicitly without a coup attempt against him, but he could do it implicitly by cutting Ukraine's sustenance and turning the page.
With a Google search, you can see who and how much European countries have supported their own defense. Philip commented that some lately haven't met their obligations to NATO. I will point out that most have never met their obligations. One commenter pointed out on another channel about this topic that summed up this whole thing, "You want to know why the US doesn't have universal healthcare and pays 500 percent more for medicines..." Countries in Europe with more per house incomes let others pay their bills. And then they buy Russian gas. France stands up and says EU money to buy weapons for Ukraine needs to be EU businesses. In all of EU, they have one, ONE, assembly line to make shells that go boom. ONE, three years later. I support NATO as an American. I support EU as an American. I support Ukraine. Don't play me as a fool. Once we get this solved, we are done. - EU GDP vs US GDP (PPP) go look it up.
Linking healthcare to defense spending is absurd. The reason merkins dont have UHC is because they would rather pay massive amounts of income to private profiteers than vote for slightly more tax and regulation. Next you be saying Europeans have less school shootings because they spend less on defense............
I like your suggested settlement, with demilitarized zones (donbass) and protectorates (Crimea), and Ukraine not joining NATO for 10 years. I would add this proviso: "If Russia attacks again at any point, Ukraine WILL IMMEDIATELY join NATO."
Putin wants to subdue, annexe, control the entire Ukraine. He couldn't do it with his puppet Yanukovych. Then he tried with a coup which failed. This turned into a full scale invasion and war. His failing again. Therefor he asks Ukraine to be neutral (not protected by the West, by NATO) and with no army, leaving Ukraine totally vulnerable. If Russia attacks, Ukraine won't be able to join NATO since NATO do not accept countries with territorial conflicts. It's all about Ukraine's territories, population and rights that are given away because of a brutal aggression. Neither Ukraine, nor the West nor the world can afford it. It's not about territory, it's about population, resources, strategic land giving Putin much more power (control of energy flow to Europe, huge part of world's grain export, military industry, control over the Black Sea, ...). Think about what Putin can do with it. Also, a DMZ would require an entire NATO army... for how long? This is very costly.
How can Zelinsky agree to anything when his presidential term has long expired. In the Ukraine non democratic country.why should Putin agree to anything, especially when he is winning and had all the cards in his hand.
Putin loves you too. He loves seeing you at the frontline defending his regime, so that he can maintain power. If you love Putin, either there is something you don't know or understand or there is something really wrong with you.

You seem to be suffering from delusions.
Who Paull Warburg a idiot with out USA money there is no Ukraine war

Thank you editor for actually starting at the start, keep it up 👏
This!!!! Definitely this! It's so annoying
donald need to be told he has 2 options, either back Ukraine or stay out of it. They really are his only options.
It all sounds logical, but treating Trump like a rational actor doesn't work.
Additional multi-year packages have been commited by Denmark, Uk, Sweden, Portugal and Lithiania. European countries have provided the most aid in total (military, financial and humanitarian). Most of the US funding supports American industries who produce weapons and equipment.
most? all of it...100%
❤Ukraine ❤

4 minutes in this guy makes it sound as if trump has feelings
Interesting analysis 👏👏👏
Whoever will control Crimea - will control the black sea,due to strategic location. Russia controls areas in Ukraine now, worth at least $12 trln in natural resources only. and Russia is already monetizing on that.
He who controls the Bosphurus strait really controls the Black Sea.
If trump says he won't defend Germany because of something, how would that statement effect NATO?
As soon as Philip says Russia would accept a Crimea 'protectorate' where no one gets it I know he's detacted from reality.
Good thing you have inside info on Trumps plan /sarc
China/Taiwan are not in South East Asia. Pls get your geography correct.
Should have settled in Istanbul.
He is totally right to demand that the europeans pay for their defence.
Repetitious. This could have been done in 5 minutes not dragged out to fill 17

Is this fact . Ten percent of promised funding has been delivered ? From the us . 🤬🤬
More importantly how much of my government promised support has been delivered? Mike from Tasmania, Australia . I’m asking the question
Trump is going to try and throw Ukraine under the bus, and it is not going to be pretty! 😂😂
... and it's not going to work either.

Name calling is ignorant
Putin can play tough guy, but it's not going to stop his economy collapsing leaving him unable to back it up.
Putler will be asked nothing about it.
Your comment is all one sided .you comment on what is good for Russian but not what is suitable for Ukraine .It takes two to tango
Look, Tass Russian news agency has spoken!😂 2 potatoes for a poor troll 😂
Trump is our modern day Chamberlain. Weak in negotiations
Roosevelt.
Weak in everything
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Putin prevented the election due to the war. It states in the Ukrainian constitution that elections cannot happen during times of martial law.
😂 you should be on a stage
Look! Putin got elected with 145% in the occupied oblasts…not that he had armed soldiers everywhere near the voters and polls and booths.
How many European countries held elections during the Second World War?
В скольких европейских странах прошли выборы во время Второй мировой войны?
Did you think that up by yourself?
NATO will invite Russia to join. Problem solved. Easy peasy peace 😅
"NATO" It was considered a while ago, but the guys in charge of Russia * * * * ed it up as usual.
Too dangerous. Putin will highjack NATO and you will end up with a dictator as chief of NATO.
Canada and ?,time to name who isnt paying their way.
Keep talking putin did this Putin did - but we love Putin 🇷🇺❤️✌️
Nothing to love there. 😂
I love my wife but whatever 😂
How many innocent children and families dead because of an unnecessary war ? How could anyone love a murderous dictator?
A country stuck in 1830 would.
Putin loves you too. He loves seeing you at the frontline defending his regime, so that he can maintain power.
If you love Putin, either there is something you don't know or understand or there is something really wrong with you.
