@robertroot3790 Nobody had a strategy in the Western world, the Brits following the US direction, the EU following an unelected president commissioner called Ursula VonderLeyen, NATO following the US lead. It amonts to brainless gaming that killed 1/2 a million Ukrainians, destroyed their country, caused 2 million refugees and left Ukraine without a young generation. And the cynics want even more money to be invested because they can't afford to lose face and admit reality. Keep listening to Vlad, it will serve you well.
America has become something I don’t recognize anymore as a democracy. If we continue down this road. I’m losing hope in people’s ability to discern truth from fiction and outright lies. We seem to following in Russias footsteps not Europes. And that is giving Putin and fascism so much oxygen it’s frightening.
The heck your talkin about? Are you ok? Fascists killed at least 20 mil people and how many killed Putin? America is a true terrorist state just the Iraq war has taken 1 mil Iraqies lives.
Vlad is doing a great service to philosophy. And illuminating the places where we can go to look for the insights we need to begin formulating the questions we need to ask.
Thank you both for your integrity and sustained efforts! I hope we all think more about what we can further do to help Ukraine, its region and the international “order” in which such an extreme, agonizing war has happened.
@@guydreamr 25:27 "I treat experts as sacred." Unless they're John Mearsheimer, Douglas MacGregor, Scott Ritter, or any other expert who says things I don't like...
I really love the first 15 minutes so far!!! Really loved the critique and acknowledgement. Very grown up and very very refreshing. I am so proud of you both so much.
This is a magnificent, real conversation and exploration of the most foundational issues facing the world today. I would like to think about this more deeply and respond right now, but it is 2:00 am and my 76 y.o. Brain is exhausted, so I will return in the morning. On another note, all of my 5 or so favorite analysts of the Ukrainian crisis, and the world’s response, are becoming noticeably more sophisticated, knowledgeable and seasoned in their presentation of the issues, events, and policies they are engaged with daily. I will return to this tomorrow. But my thanks to both of you.
Sweet!! My two favorite content creators in a thoughtful exchange if ideas. Something I value in a video is leaving it with something to think about. This video was a banquet of food for thought. Thank you so much!
@stephie52 That immediately proves how absurd your thinking is. You want him to interview somebody who thinks like you. You do love your bubble where everybody thinks the same. Very comfortable giving you the feedback you expect. Why don't you have the courage to listen to somebody who does not think like you and then judge if you are right or wrong.?
One of my notions is that social media has no sense of proportion. It appears to be a conversation but that's an illusion of virtual reality. There is none of the concrete reality of conversation, the body language, nuance of expression, smell or taste. It's a pitfall of our social being that we can be blind to the difference.
Have you ever read a book? Where is the "concrete reality" by which I assume you mean the senzorial aspect of conversation if you were reading this? You're asking for senzorial from an audio video environment? Were you high when you wrote this comment?
It’s quite remarkable actually when (if you have seen it) Twitter hawkish personalities end up having an in person debate on RUclips or by live stream - it’s almost like they exist in a different parallel universe because as you say the way that exchange goes is usually far far less aggressive, and far more charitable and productive.
@@larsvaahlmar1784I mean your comment/reply is sort of a good example of what he is talking about isn’t it - if we were in person in real life you probably wouldn’t talk like that to someone making a quite unobjectionable, general observation about social media , or question if they are intoxicated by drugs.
Yes everyone that has opinion of their own is on drugs. I agree though the guy is reading script and talking circles n saying nothing. IMO poutine is ded they just delaying their collapse
@@euromoneysOf course, you lack the intellectual rigour to comprehend the deep thoughts and advanced discourse displayed by Vlad. They’re leagues above you! SMH. 🤦🏼♂️
Thank you Jonathan! Another great interview! This is my 1st. time hearing Vlad 's take on where things stand. I look forward to hearing more thoughts from him on this subject.
Great discussion, and I want to point out that both of you gave each other a lot of space to give long, detailed answers without interrupting each other. So many interviews get derailed because otherwise interesting people don't have self-control.
❤Thank you, both! I enjoyed your conversation & insights very much. I am listening to this 9 months after your talk which makes it even more interesting.
One very important factor to consider regarding the Russian Federation is alcoholism. Like, straight up alcoholism. No detour, no beating about the bush. ALCOHOLISM. Russians need to talk about that openly.
Certainly raising issues, I for one had not given thought to. Thank you for a such intelligent, balanced and reasoned discussion. I am even more convinced now, as I thought previously, that the stall in capability supplies to Ukraine, was a definite choice,to limit military exuberance and somewhat slow a sudden regime collapse
Except when criticizing a public figure, who's personality exists, and is expressed, within the public realm. And in that vein, RUclips personalities, particularly those with subscriber bases and viewer bases in the 10's of thousands, hundred's of thousands and/or million's, certainly are public figures/public personalities, even if within only a certain bubble. And Vlad did that in the most well meant, and most polite, not to mention sincere and effective, manner imaginable. As well, it was delivered KNOWING the recipient would be receptive of, and acknowledge such criticism. As Johnathan was, and did.
Thank you Jonathan and Vlad soo much! 🌞💙 It’s refreshing to see an alliance of many pro-Ukrainian voices on social media! How can you use this collective power to puncture the main stream media bubble?!?
USA´s greed to bring it´s weapons near to Russia via new NATO members is the real root to this war. BTW, who wants to be helping to a country(Ukraine) which kept killing civilians(russian language speakers) since 2014 ? It is like someone would start helping to a person who started with killing people.......( Russia is helping to civilians in Donbas since those civilians were killed by thousands since 2014) What is the point in this video? It is empty talking only....
I find that Vlad's musings have become ever more vague and hazy since I had first begun following him back in early 2022. Personally, I would like the conversation to be more grounded, or at least as grounded as it was back then. Now, you get videos 15-20 minutes long conveying a message that could have easily been done in just a few and in a clearer fashion. I still value his takes, but trying to keep up with him has become increasingly more challenging for me over time.
Omg, I was just thinking the same and how to say it. Exactly the same thoughts and same time. How odd is that. I wish they could be more understandable and easier to follow.
Cold War barracks mentality in Russia never ended. That was clear to me back in the 1990s but we loved the collective high (and naive peace dividend) from believing so. Soviet legacy was never crushed and judged like the Third Reich. And since the Russians acquired nukes (unlike Nazi Germany) it was always impossible to dismantle the Soviet mindset. Strange how the end of the USSR and emergence of Russia has brought the world closer to nuclear disaster than ever before.
You are very correct. I spent time in Russia then, and the mentality is deeply rooted. Nothing in reality had changed. The exact same ship, with a new mafia captain
Indeed. The journeys Germany and Japan have made since 1945 are what one would like to see in Russia. There are (at least) two conditions that need to exist for this to be possible. 1. Defeat of the Russian state. 2. Disciplin and a sense of loyalty to the collective among the population. Even if Russia was to be totally defeated, I doubt the culture posesses the determination to adhere to a political vision of democracy and equal opportunities.
I made a few business trips to Russia in the late 90s and was rather alarmed at the inhumane nature of their society and their utterly absurd rewriting of the WW2.
@@Epaminondas371 Their "great patriotic war", starting by raping Finland and splitting up Poland between themselves and Nazi Germany. Only to see Hitler stab them in the back and launch a full scale invasion. The "Russians" of Ukraine being the ones to take the major hit, right after Stalin had his way with them in the 30's. Nice people the Russians, not! (Although, admittedly, Stalin was from Georgia.)
That was great To be analysed by Vlad I learned alot I have watched you everyday since the start To me you were the outside world finally seeing Russia for it's horror
Afraid you are right, their culture does not allow them to not conquer. Any change is internal with external guidance and will take 3-4 generations to purge out the old and to just begin with the new. Wait or immediately decimate empires like Romans, Hannibal, Golden Hordes etc. but they just didn't change actively, the people who were in charge died off and new people effected change. Just ask history. The not so good empires were replaced and new bad start ups also faces the same thing, ask that guy Adolph.
I agree partly. Only force makes sense in a mind like that. Crimea must be retaken and defended. That will shake up the gameboard (so to say). It will balance the weight of concerns on both sides (east/west). When that balance is achieved maybe discussions can occure (balance of concerns may, in that context, be aquated with balance of power (like the cold war))
@americanidle76 And meantime what should be done with the Southern border. I know; you are one of those Americans who are more interested in Ukraine than in the USA.
The opening of this dialogue was interesting & I’m glad you both can exchange constructive criticism & agreed with Vlad on the difficult information environment & we’re all trying to be as saintly as he…
Fantastic interview. Thank you for sharing. This is the insight that more in the west, particularly our leaders, need to be hearing. Some of them lack any sense of realpolitik.
@@SiliconCurtain Still laughing over how Putin fcked himself with that comment about Poland allegedly starting WW2 by not being nice enough to Hitler. Set off alarm bells all over Europe, encouraged his US lackey to say he'd let Russia take NATO territories that don't pay their dues. They could not have done a better job of dipping themselves in sht.
Friend of Vlad is a friend of mine glad to find another sane voice in the face of the horrors of war.
Vlad is an absolute gem of a human being❤
He’s also a little full of himself. Anyways, Jonathan keeps it interesting. Respect.
I like him even if I disagree on some of his positions. Iam convinced he is a great lad to have an intelligent discussion with
You two should get married in your ivory tower.
15mins in. What you guys just did and the way you dealt with it is the epitome of civil discussion.
Well said.
It has been a most excellent discussion!

Excellent episode - Vlad is always a welcome voice of sanity.
Im subbed to all of Vlads channels, good man
Love it! Keep going strong mr Fink. We will prevail.
This was a much better interview than the long rambling interview I watched with the ‘other Vlad’.
@treesetc3305 You most likely do not have the mental capacity needed to understand what the "other Vlad" said or meant.
Jonathon--your point @ 15:20 about a lack of strategy--spot on!
@robertroot3790 Nobody had a strategy in the Western world, the Brits following the US direction, the EU following an unelected president commissioner called Ursula VonderLeyen, NATO following the US lead.
It amonts to brainless gaming that killed 1/2 a million Ukrainians, destroyed their country, caused 2 million refugees and left Ukraine without a young generation. And the cynics want even more money to be invested because they can't afford to lose face and admit reality. Keep listening to Vlad, it will serve you well.

'Boring' is the new 'banal', you heard it here first!
@@RuneDrageon that already meant that! ordinary is banal is boring.
@@RuneDrageonBeing witty is not the new banal, just the same old...
@@pontusmalmstrom1055 It was a play on words with Hannah Arendts 'Banality of evil' in relation to the totalitarianism of the Nazis.
@@RuneDrageon Also the earlier feudal word was ''bannal'', a lord's mill, as in a ''bannal mill'', that was common to all for use.
