‘Defeat in Ukraine could be the end of Putin’ - expert explains
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2022
- Russia's Vladimir Putin is obsessed with his legacy. He has compared himself to Peter the Great, the tsar who founded St Petersburg and created the modern Russian empire.
That was Putin’s plan but with Ukrainian forces now pushing back and Russian men fleeing the country, it’s not going the way he had hoped.
So is he losing his hold on power?
We speak to Angela Stent, an author, professor and an expert in all things Russia and Putin. She explains that while Putin’s legacy is damaged and his hold on power is slightly weaker - it’s too early to say if this is the beginning of the end for the Russian leader.

Very good guest. Good interviewer who did not constantly interrupt the guest. Thank you.
Putin is finished, but the question is, will Russia let Putin drag them down with him ??✌
Here is the recommended clip that says it all :

They already did.
@@BinkyTheGoddessDivine Indeed !
putin is russia . it belongs to him , not russian citizens . you can see that with police kicking civilians in the face. he even owns belarus government and many others.
Very good commentary by a very knowledgeable Angela Stent. Thank you!
It was rather too generic to be of much use. Also factually incorrect, Biden never stated article 5 would ve invoked if radiation reached nato countries. Big difference to a 'coalition of the willing' type of thing.

She pretty much told you why the pipelines got hit, the globalists were scared that countries would fold and drop sanctions for energy, the wef globalists couldn't have that.... they want to make you suffer so you will except the NWO ..... putin don't want this war or maybe he one of them playing good cop bad cop for a narrative, either way real people will suffer and die at the hands of the liberal western globalists ✌
This woman is a scholar, a pleasure to listen to.

She is fantastic, so clear and balanced
Deep condolences to all mother, father, children and family who lost their lives in this war.
One must wonder if all the deaths in this war could have been avoided if Ukraine had kept its nuclear deterrent. It is possible that the Russian invasion would not have happened. Nuclear weapons are terrible, which they must never be used again.
Much less for the Russians than for the Ukrainians, as far as I am concerned. Let’s not put an equal sign between aggressors and victims. The Russian population is complicit of its elected president.
@@nigeljohnson9820 Depressing but true. This only makes nuclear seem more necessary.
@@nigeljohnson9820 No. If so, the war would have erupted then. In addition, those nukes were Soviet Unions; Ukraine didn't really control them
@@ming10000 Umm, the Soviet Union ceased to exist. Are you saying the same about Nukes in Russia? They were really the USSR's?
Angela Stent is very confident in every piece of information she is sharing. Very informed, knowledgeable and a good judge of her work.
Sure is.another profesor from america who knows anything

I could listen to this woman for hours, and the interviewer is world class, thank you for posting this fascinating talk.
Angela Stent has this most wonderful speaking style, many pundits could take more than a few lessons here.
This woman is exceptional in providing insightful information regarding Putin. Her analysis of his rise to power in Russia is spot on!
She speaks so well, thanks for posting !

Steady there.
The guest was so knowledgable and professional. Haven’t seen Channel 4 do such a long segment before but this was awesome. Podcast level value.
I also hope that they keep up with this level of reporting
It's always good to listen to experts in their given field when you want understanding and truth. Great interview
Just one nuclear weapons on Europe will change everything in second
The truth in mainstream media??? They lied about the whole lead up to the war, they lied Ukraine been bombing their own people for 10 years.
When people finally realised that most media is controlled by black rock and vanguard?
Lol, a state department lackie, the same state department that caused the coup in 2014 that has lead to this madness.

remember experts said Iraq has WMD? yer 3d model to illustrate what was in their head to manipulate the sheeps
This was a great interview. The guest was on top of the topic.
i agree completely: 'top of the top' in fact! bravo channel 4, thank you Angela Stent

So was the interviewer.
The best thing about this war is it has made clear to autocrats that if they think it was easy to invade another a country and take land by force, they only need to look at Ukraine to see how challenging it is. Frankly I wouldn't even expect my own country (the UK) to be able to successfully invade a country and take land. China will likely think twice before attacking Taiwan.
Bro the british army wouldnt be able to take paris let alone a country
No, they really won't. The Chinese military hasn't been looted in the same way. Taiwan is an island, no arms from the "West" will arrive as soon as they put up a full blocade. And then we have a senile geriatric who is randomly provoking them whenever they can. I say they, because there are two of them: Pelosi and Biden. -_-,;.
I doubt that very much
When your ego is driving you the possible seems like the possible. Unfortunately I believe Taiwan will be invaded.
@@gdnygma490 Paris would surrender
I dont think the Russian army can recover from this war in the next few decades. if ever
And serve them right.They need demilitarising.They haven’t moved on.Any excuse to grab land and destabilise other countries whilst blaming all and sundry.No wonder the former Soviet countries couldn’t run away from them quick enough.Horrible people.
You’re absolutely correct. This invasion has been a complete disaster for putler. In 50-100 years, history will look back on this as one of the great military/political blunders of the 21st century. Even if Russia somehow wins this, they’ll still have an army which has been mauled, with much of their materiel goods destroyed. Add to that the sanctions, which would only get stronger in the event of a Russian victory & it becomes clear that the Russians will be paying for putler’s sins for the next 30 or 40 years, possibly much longer.
for my childrens sake...... I hope not.
Russia can't afford to fight its HIV epidemic, what makes you think it can afford to rebuild its military that has relied upon USSR equipment since 1989.
Texas has an economy/GDP larger than Russia. That's how small the Kremlin's spending power is.
Reputation is hard earned yet easily destroyed. It will be hard to take Russian military capabilities seriously for quite a while
Very balanced, down-to-earth views by the guest, Angela Stent. Please have more of her in the future programs.
Balanced? Is that why you can practically hear her smirking through her analysis?
You don’t have a very advanced perception of facial posture.
@@decaDBZ the same can be said for your verbal comprehension it seems.
Isn't the idea of balanced to cover both sides/possibilities? This was fairly one-sided
As a Romanian I wholeheartedly support the war effort on the Ukrainian side. I understand why some of my fellow EU citizens are against it and I respect everybody's opinion but I would tell them not to be scarred and bullied by Putin. The EU will get through this and we should support Ukraine in it's legitimate war for freedom. A famous Romanian song says "better dead than a communist", better dead than not free! Slava Ukraini!
Agree with you except the communist part - Putin's Russia is not communist, it's a fascist state mixing oligarchical capitalism with very strange geopoliticall, civilizational visions of a totally new Eurasian empire. If you look at the influences of for example Alexandr Dugin, it's not exactly Marxist thinkers that influenced him. It was Nazis.
Better dead than free?
Ukraine isn't free, its been sold off to Wall Street.
@@farhatqureshi8562; Sir, What this Romanian Citizen wanted to say is that "they learned that's better to die fighting than live in their knees".
Better to die free than to live practically in a dictatorship.
Ukrainians have earned the world respect the moment they decided to fight for the right to remain free. Most of the former USSR satellite states have learned that there's a way of life outside Communism. The "will to fight" is the most important weapon and it's what decides Military Conflicts.
Take care.

Thanks Channel 4 , one of the best interviews so far and questions what faces us up ahead, I wish there was a way of making Ukraine whole again after all this, unfortunately some might never come back as whole Ukrainian families might have been wiped out💔🙏Stay strong 🇺🇦 ❤
Angela Stent is a superb thinker and analyst.
This would be a day of celebrations all over the world similar to the defending of the Nazis in WWII....
When evil Putin is gone.... 🇩🇪🇺🇾
His days are numbered....People like him autodestruct!
Here's also hoping that the poorer ethnic minority regions in the east, who have been disproportionately targeted in the mobilisation, rise up and splinter away from the 'Federation'. That might also help to seal the deal.
That’s pure science-fiction.
That is a new low for human beings to sacrifice ethnic minorities and the infirm to the war, sounds like nazism to me
@@arthursimsa9005 it's valid speculation. Even if improbable, it's not unthinkable.
Even before Ukraine's successful liberation drive these last few weeks, it was clear that Russia's military cred was badly damaged by its poor battle performance. I began to wonder when its peripheral clients would take advantage, throw off the yoke, and oblige Putin to fight on multiple fronts. Tipping point hasn't been reached yet, but that doesn't mean it can't happen.
So there we have it, the interests of the Ukrainian people come a poor second with the Western ruling classes. For their aim seems to be that all the killing in the Ukraine will help to undermine Putin - a leader that has for long been seen as standing in their way of ripping off Russia
@@g.moeller308 Agreed
Kazakhstan has already broken away, with China's support - & there in lies the problem, russia's weakening will only be to China's advantage.
Still, it will now be simpler for China to reclaim its historical territories off russia than to reclaim Taiwan by force.
Excellent interview, Angela Stent wonderful!
Fascinating lady with exceptional knowledge. Thank you.
I'd not heard Ms. Stent before...she is quite good.
the Russian army is so bad right now, even Molodva can not only retrake transnistria but also defeat the Russian army in open baftle.
Ummmm, probably not. Moldovan troops have not been training in the UK, and they don't have substantial US weaponry to my knowledge. If, on the other hand, Moldova could get over its "issues" with Romania -- which they should, as the two nations are ethnically the same and divided only over an alphabet -- I could imagine a Ruzzian defeat there.
God bless all soldiers in the world 🌎 specially those innocent Russian soldiers that fight,,against their own will and all wounded soldiers 🙏😞
How can you fight against your own will? Just shoot your commanding officer and escape.

Pootler to Xi: "i may need a ride, and 300K body bags..." Slava Ukraini!
Nah we've seen the evidence, they rarely retrieve their fallen. They leave them behind, easier and don't have to pay for the body bag etc...
They do not have to pay the families of soldiers that are missing in action.
So they do not take the bodies. They refused traincars full of dead soldiers.
So Ukraine snuck a bunch of trains across the Russian border and left them in russia in August.

Just on the point of Putin harping on colonialism, the Russian Empire was one of the most ardent colonial powers, colonising states as widely scattered as Armenia, Poland, Finland and Alaska.
Poland had an empire, parts of it were Russian territory and Russia had Alaska since 1784, and then sold it to the USA.
Texas was taken by force from Mexico, and the British had the largest empire in history.
Don't push this hypocrisy.
@@toonmag50 Steady boy. He was only making the point that Russia is as much an imperialist power as anybody else. Surely an undeniable fact. Yes, we do have a hypocrite in our midst and it is President Putler. The man who tries to fill the shoes of the great imperialists, Peter the Great and the dress of Catherine the Great. He admits this freely so there is not even any debate on the matter. Fortunately, he does look good in heals.
so les than the usa
@@toonmag50 it is russia which is being hypocritical. Britain etc don't pretend that they didn't colonise in the past. Russia denies its colonialism.
@@stephenhill545 Czar Nicholas 11 and cousins in the British royal family always referred to the "Russian Empire" in the same way as the British Empire.
My condolences to the bereaved families of this war.
This interview was very informative.
Really interesting and balanced interview 👍
Putin in a nutshell: I am right, even when I am not. Anyone who disagrees is wrong. Everybody who is wrong that isn`t me dies
As an individual living roughly just 2000km away from the frontline in ukraine in central europe, support for ukraine is not just about sending weapons, but also personally enduring shortages and consequences of this war, like blackouts, no heating, financial losses, social hardship, etc., without questioning the western military strategy.
I agree Herr Baumschnitzer
You never 'sacrifice' your right to interrogate your representatives as to their decisions and conduct and hold them to account...I may be Welsh but I'm no sheep!
Spoken like a true WEF bot.
France - Germany - Poland - Ukraine
This is the large countries of Europe.
We cannot afford to lose one.
Putin is there invading and murdering peaceful families in their own home.
Putin did the huge bomb blasts that have obliterated apartments with people inside them.
Putin attacks the water, so they die of thirst.
Putin attacks the food supplies so they die of starvation.
Putin attacks their electricity so they cannot cook, no lights so they cannot see in the dark, no heat, cannot work their internet.
Putin jams all communications so they cannot talk to their family and friends.
Mass murderer.
Putin is the worst killer of Slavic people since Adolf Hitler.
Well said! Europe should look at this as a model and source of inspiration in the upcoming winter.
Hitler obsessed about his legacy as well - just saying. There is a Gandhi quote which is apropos here:
_"All throughout history there have been tyrants and murders, and for a time they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Think of it, always."_
This madame is an excellent analyst and on target .. congrats ma’am
Wonderful interview with a great interviewer and a great interviewee. Thank you channel 4.
One of the better interviews on the channel
Soviet Army had high morale and an ideological objectives. Moreover the territories were invaded by Germany. Here the war is for Putin. The participation of the common Russian people is negligible.
Silence is compliance. Russians mumble under there breath, when the should start a revolution. Gutless turds.
One of the best interview - thanks a lot
you don't come this far to bail at the 11th hour.
SLAVA UKRAINI !
Here is the recommended clip that says it all :
ruclips.net/video/mFnlLsX7eiwi/видео.html
The idea that "Russia is destined to have authoritarian rulers" is ridiculous. Democracy is only 100 yrs old in most western countries, which had long-ruling authoritarian rulers or limited oligarchies up until that point. Even if you don't consider women's right to vote, (which only appeared in France in 1945 for example) universal male suffrage only appeared in most western countries about 100 yrs ago. Democracy is the anomaly, not authoritarianism. We need to work had to maintain it.
Actually black and women only had voting rights in the 70s, so technically only 50 years
Very true, we typically rely on "the benevolence and wisdom" of our kings and czars way to much....
Based. Also dispute the supposed idea that republicans will be softer on Putin. Zero evidence of that, and it's no coincidence that Putin never launched an attack while republicans were in charge. Trump's unpredictability would most likely have been the end of Putin.
And we have a king 👑
Well said.

GREAT, INFORMATIVE INTERVIEW ... THANKS TO YOU BOTH

Really informative!!!
Excellent interview
I have learned a lot from this interview. Glad I listened to it.
Superb analysis.
It seems that Angela Stent, our interview guest here, disagrees with Generals Patraeus and Hodges on American Support. So far, those men both feel that Bipartisan support has been terribly strong for Ukraine and believe Ukraine would continue to be supported by the U.S. even if there was a change in control of the House/Senate.
The GOP is the minority thankfully.
Agreed. No idea where the US political section came from. I don't know of anyone or any politicians as a group that are not supporting Ukraine. It benefits the US regardless of party.
Excellent interview. Very clear and informative. Thank you!
Best analysis of Russia that I have heard. She’s excellent.

Fabulous interview with a highly intelligent knowledgeable lady.
My thoughts goes to all the Ukrainian people, and also the russians who doesnt want to have anything to do with the war, and Putin.
Bless you all ❤
It’s the end for him regardless
Hopefully
@@ianmuir3640 yeah he's done.
In order to survive as any kind of power, Russia MUST repair it’s relationship with Europe. Europe is Russia’s only trading partner that matters.
The only way to do that is to blame this whole thing on Putin, and, metaphorically, deliver his head to Europe. Probably more realistically, arrest him and deliver him to The Hague. Every other option ends with Russia shattering by the end of the decade, and what is left of Russia being nothing farther than a thousand kilometers from Moscow.
Excellent work.
Thank you for spending the time to create and share this content🙏🏾

Agree, after his 70th birthday.. In a few days!
I bet that he will end up in a shallow grave. I worry about what crazy things he might do to hold onto his life and power, though.
He has been following Hitler's footsteps so precises its unnerving,, like 1938 - 1944 is just repeating but with different names. And Putin keeps paralleling Hitler's moves, like taking over command of the army when he's the most incompetent one to do that.
Phenomenal interview!

It was known that the US trained a Ukrainian NCO corps in the model of the US military. Many western military experts have noted this, so the idea that the Ukraine had a bad military, equipment aside, was not a widespread assumption.
From what I can glean from a variety of sources, the Western military style training started after 2014, in a serious effort anyway. Seems the Brits were doing more work but maybe the US Army was keeping their role quiet.
Very Smart individual

Good interviewer who did not constantly interrupt the guest. Very balanced, down-to-earth views by the guest, Angela Stent. Please have more of her in the future programs.
This woman seems quite knowledgeable and this was a very informative interview.
That being said, I'd like to add my two cents to a comment she made. She stated that there might be a change in the level of support to Ukraine from the United States, following next months mid-term elections. While there is little that the Republicans and Democrats seem to agree on currently, one thing that they DO agree on is sending aid to Ukraine! And if and when the Republicans take back the majorities in the House and Senate, that support to Ukraine WILL CONTINUE!
NOTE TO THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE: We stand by you! We will NOT abandon you, no matter our political leadership! The majority of Americans are in favor of sending aid to Ukraine, and any politician in America running for office knows this!
If Vladimir Putin is counting on America's support to Ukraine to diminish in any way, he can add that to his long list of miscalculations involving the invasion of Ukraine!
SLAVA UKRAINE!
When dems take more seats in the house and senate the aid will continue without constant wrangling with gop.
Exactly. There are a few Republicans questioning the amount of aid to Ukraine, but they are very few. The caucus as a whole is solidly behind Ukraine, as Ukraine is fighting for the core Republican value: freedom!
Russia needs to take care of what it already has instead of all the neglect and depravity you see all over the country
great interview.
The Russians forgot how to play chess..
When you talk about geography I wish you would show a map highlighting the area you are talking about. Most of us are not that familiar with Ukraine geography.
you’re right but news in many channels (biggest channels of each country ) have shown repeatedly in which territories the most war is happening so if you’re daily informed you wouldn’t ask
