Xi is right, since putins "logic" doesnt work out. He says that the NK soldiers will just stay "on russian soil" to regain kursk,but wont step in urkaine. With that logic, ukraine could "invite" the US to regain their own territory.
@@nenadmitrovic3469 Their European neighbors who would be next for Putin. That's who. It's in their own self-interest to act. It's no longer up to the US to keep Europe safe from every threat. We can *support*, but no longer lead. Europe really has gotten more than enough from the US for decades now. Time to stand on their own (or at least take the lead on their own security).
☘️The simple answer to the rise in military tension around the world is because Western powers are too soft and too slow in addressing issues when they arise. Europe uses the US as it’s deterrent and therefore feels it does not have to invest in military defence. War in Ukraine and the death of innocent people could have been avoided if only western powers were more proactive in their military support for Ukraine. West is all about capitalism and money first, everything else takes second place. When you see the UN General Secretary shake the hand of a murderer and a wanted man ( Putin) then you know the real world order is all about money and power☘️

@@alfal7113 Very true, just look how China treats its "Friend" I talk of Australia, When Australia asked for an independent investigation into COVID, China's response was "If you ask for that Australia Will regret it" within weeks China put obscene tariffs on Australian goods, we as a family avoid at all chances anything China has had anything to do with, and the same with Russia. people need to stop and think where the money is going when they buy that Chinese car or cheap electronic item. every cent spent goes into the CCP.
A few years ago China openly claimed part of Russia as its own. They used the historical ownership argument. Forget about Taiwan. China may just march into Manchuria if they see Russian weakness. Putins many wars have weakened it. For example, the Wagner military group led by Prigozhin, marched on Moscow in June of last year. He got to within 60 miles of Moscow before he backed down. There was nothing that would have stopped Wagner from marching into Moscow. Its a mystery why he stopped. He should have know he had committed the unpardonable sin. Yes, Putin killed him but it shows how fragile Putin is. Every day Putin is more vulnerable. Will Russia stop its war if Putin is removed?
China considers itself a Near-Arctic power. With the return of Hashienwai *cough* sorry... Vladivostok, that dream could be fulfilled. On the other hand, I can't imagine today's Japan having the strength to reclaim the Kurile Islands and Sakhalin that Russia got after declaring war on Japan, after the atomic bombs while Hiroito and his crew hesitated in their surrender.
Putin is losing what? His troops have been advancing for 6 straight months, his economy is 11th in GDP, BRICS is moving along with an entirety new financial system, totally independent from the west and he’s not at all isolated as was predicted by western experts. It’s Starmer that’s losing
North Korea has continued with the facade that war is still ongoing. Mainly for internal propaganda purposes. Electricity fails, no food, no anything, it's all the fault of the US imperialists.
There is a rich history of state collapse following wars, revolutions, system breakdowns, economic crises, and other epochal events. Napoleon’s empire collapsed after his disastrous march on Moscow and subsequent defeat at the Battle of Leipzig. In 1918, the Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, German, and Russian empires all collapsed in military defeat.
If the powers of a country gets defeated, surrenders, the country doesn't function anymore and other parties take over. A normal process people support because the former leaders failed them. But in that political vacuum there is a risk of becoming more radical in this or that direction. That's the fear of the US and western countries. Russia when politically collapsing could become even more radical (in the sense of doctrine) or even unpredictable instable. What's even more of a horror scenario, because of its huge arsenal of nuclear weaponry. To balance this out from outside is pretty difficult, that's why the US and others are pretty carefully. People tend to believe there are simple solutions, giving Ukraine ALL what it needs to be victorious. The US could, not so others (because their own military capabilities are weakened over time, as well as production), but the hesitancy is due to the circumstances that a implosion of the Putin regime could cause much worse scenarios, even for Ukraine. Reasonable? I think so. And we shouldn't forget that any government is sworn in to protect its people first and foremost! That doesn't mean we shouldn't support Ukraine much better than by now, or over time. No, we should do better! But as it turns out the government, as well as the high command structure, in Ukraine fails itself, over and over again. There's even some sort of a mistrust between the west and the leadership of Ukraine. "Things happen" in Ukraine and many people who once supported the government in Kiiv are pretty upset. There are a lot of bad things happen where political friends of the leader/leaders are involved and bad commanding causes heavy losses of men, equipment and territory. Zekwnskij becomes more and more of a populist. Knowing or not knowing what's going on in his country he's responsible for that and doesn't do what's necessary. Pretty bad and the allies, behind closed doors, know everything and ask themselves one question. Is the leadership in Ukraine still able to act accordingly to the situation they're in when facing a relentless Russian army that does not care about huge losses. Many players make the music and the orchestra plays a "awful" sound, still. "Winning" depends on the strength you build to get the upper hand over your enemy. If you have allies that means everyone involved must have one goal by using thought through strategies and tactics using everything available while securing own recourses and minimizing losses. That's not what's happening!
Before they started expanding their membership, BRICS countries had already explicitly described themselves as a bulwark against Western culture. But this glosses over the fact that an accumulation of wealthy people in these countries have a financial incentive to be territorially expansionist. They need to be expansionist because staying in power means keeping their people "under the thumb." This requires repression that causes corruption to thrive, such that people are dissuaded from creative inventive work, which leads to low productivity. Perversely, they can only allow productivity to certain extent, until that productive stakeholder becomes a threat to the established order.
@@Vzzdak Sounds like you have no clue what you're talking about...The lowest productivity historically is most Western countries currently.... I'd agree with you if you'd attribute this to ideology in the West
Before you form a wall to protect from western civilization, it would be a good idea to understand just what you are protecting. Oligarchy on one side isn't better than oligarchy on the other side. If we don't protect ourselves from oligarchy, we suffer.
@@hugh261 You're missing the point... It's the dollar being used as a weapon that is the issue...Confiscation of assets too...That affect ordinary people and oligarchies in respective counties... Nobody has another option, too much risk involved with status quo
This is when a very Narcissistic & Egotistical leader with " Saviour Complex Delusional Syndrome" ... having held the power for a very long time.... craved again to feel that moment of grandeur he once had from being able to save the Russian population away from the chaotic national instability back in the post soviet collapse days. He turned to become " THE MAD KING ." 😢
I know this has nothing to do with the interview, but the interviewer here is lovely. Not sure why I felt compelled to say that, but it's true. Thanks for the video.
Ms. Francis gives one of the primary reasons as to why America has been quite hesitant and sluggish in its support of Ukraine to enable them to throughly smash russia, knowing that it likely entails the uncontrolled implosion and final full disintegration of russia, which in turn would certainly tempt xi-china to take advantage of the resulting vacuum and make a swift move into Manchuria. America certainly does not wish any inch of Siberia under Beijing de facto control.
Putin has lost the plot- huge country, relatively small population. And he has a pathological focus on Europe from Moscow. He seems to have little interest in the east of the country. China has a long term plan to eventually take Siberia because they need Lake Baikal, all the water China does not have.
That’s a good point, but China primarily wants oil, which it’s already getting, and fresh water. China is also a net importer of food, such as wheat, which Russia and Ukraine supply. China is already imploding from its own policies, and will take advantage of Russia regardless, so I dunno how much impact another year or so of wars will help. :/
Does anyone have the China CCP video showing press conference or Xi Ping saying no Nth Korean troops in Ukraine could someone show the information from China saying it please ?
It doesn't matter who wins or looses, the most important thing is the Ammunition Industry, show must go on. We see and show as per our biases/knowledge.
For Russia, the alliance with North Korea provides both immediate and long-term benefits. 1. Military Support: In the face of significant manpower shortages and a slow recruitment process, North Korean troops and military supplies are a timely resource for Russia's war in Ukraine. These contributions help offset Russia's manpower deficits while bolstering its artillery supply. 2. Sanctions Workaround: North Korea's experience in circumventing Western sanctions would prove useful to Russia, which is facing its own economic restrictions. North Korea's existing networks for illicit trade could help Russia bypass certain sanctions or acquire restricted goods. 3. Strategic Buffer: North Korea's military support could potentially serve as a deterrent or distraction for the West, as the involvement of an additional country like North Korea complicates the conflict in Ukraine and forces Western nations to adjust their strategies.
Creates a lot of problems for NK’s hermit kingdom, too many of them boys come home and talk about what they’ve seen and the media they’ve been exposed to will be a problem.
For me, I’m having trouble seeing why one country who has sent its troops to another and some have died, in combat, destabilizes another country or itself. Can think of few developed nations who haven’t sent troops to foreign nations to engage in and assist in a war. Why is this case unique?
Not really. Standard Russian operating procedures of the last 200 years. Effective because it's simple and ruthless. But when it fails it fails big. It's just checkers where Russia has more stones.
No. It really isn't. Not unless you call flailing around like a madman (because you have run out of options) "serious chess". Putin should just admit defeat. He lost.
LOL. Chess? It's the longest game in history, and he's playing an opponent who only had a bishop and knight to begin with. Seriously, 2.5 years am he still hasn't beaten a weaker neighbour. Putin's only hope is Trump.
Ger your geography right CHINA ALREADY CONTROLS Manchuria You mean large parts of the Eastern parts of Sierra and d the Maritime provinces including Vladivostock
Manchuria is the old name for the Russian/China border. It was taken over by the Russians in two separate military actions and the Chinese were forced into a treaty that they still clam to be unfair. Learn some history!
For North Korea, this partnership offers several strategic advantages. Pyongyang is already sending substantial military supplies, including millions of artillery shells, to assist Russia's war effort in Ukraine. By deploying troops, North Korea is signaling its commitment to supporting Russia in a more active capacity. In return, North Korea stands to gain from this alliance in ways that directly benefits its regime's SURVIVAL and GOALS.
The view that Japan would seek Nuke weapons is flawed, the very last nation that would be searching for those weapons is the Japanese! As the only nation to have suffered a nuke attack, the populace is very aware of the cost of having such a "deterrence", the populace will have none of that!
Yeah... The populace prefers be killed again by a chinese or north korean nuclear weapon than to have it for deterrence proposes. You are a real Einstein.
Complete BS idea to think they are going to use DPRK troops on the Russian border with China. The DPRK has always been very good at playing off it's 2 Northern neighbours. If anything they were really always closer to China though (Kim Il Sung spoke utterly native level Mandarin). I actually think China likes the whole thing at the moment as it gives China leverage and makes China look like not the worst guy.
I remember a year into the war when Russia's train transport decreased by almost half, they forced the thousands of layed off train workers to the front line.
No, Russia does not risk destabilizing China with NK. It is in China's best interest that NK does not remain isolated forever. Believe it or not, Russia and China are the two countries making sure that there aren't NK refugees crashing their borders...and, like it or not, Russia and China are very good allies, fighting the same enemy and their leaders are focused on their own countries interests 🇿🇦🇷🇺🇨🇳
When the soviets invaded Finland , England wanted to get involved, the Nazis saw this as a relief valve to act ,the word your searching for is it's a CONUNDRUM. get real People.
So basically, the Putin-Kim alliance is a "win-win" scenario for both leaders, as it provides them with critical military, economic, and political advantages in the face of Western pressure. For Ukraine and its allies, however, this deepening partnership presents a serious challenge. The involvement of North Korean troops could intensify the conflict, and the transfer of missile technology or other military technology to North Korea could destabilize the already fragile security environment in East Asia.
Still waiting for you to tell us the number of NATO personnel and mercs from Poland, Norway, Brazil, US, UK, Australia, Canada who will not be returning from Ukraine.
Love and enjoy it when you interview Diane, her insights and takes on a variety of issues is educational and very perspective. Always full with well thought through explanations. Thanks.
Decent interview, only really blighted by the propensity for female British reporters to chuck pauses and inflections into their prose on purpose. They do this 'uh, uh, uggghhh' thing. Hugely unnecessary and annoying.
Russias army has lost3000 plus Fanks alone in these few years on oryx they publish geolocated destroyed vehicles and post the picture so that’s a lot . Russia doesn’t have an army to invade another country . They have access to people but that won’t work for long .
Manchuria: I thought we had agreed since the Second World War that borders should no longer be moved by force. No matter how they came about in the past. That must also apply to Russia (Manchuria).
Uk is doing too much propaganda to downplay the greatness of russia but in reality russia is more powerful than western countries in all aspects. The victory of russia over ukrain, eu and usa is an example of its strength. Uk talk and russia does what she want. Amazing!!
Never say never. In the New World Order with the "Defunding the Police" initiative started by Xi Jinping, the strong shall consume the weak. 習近平：『中國現在強大啦！』
@@vladpootin5973Russia took Manchuria by military operation 200 years ago. Now China is capable, can also took Manchuria by force. Remember many Chinese speakers in Manchuria. The same Putin excuses use when he take Donbass - Many Russian speakers. Becareful the excuse you use when you act aggressively. It will boomerang back.
The pact between Putin and Kim shows a deepening strategic alliance - shaped by their mutual isolation and shared interest in countering Western influence. The security pact they signed in June 2023 outlines military cooperation, including pledges to support one another in the event of "aggression". This formalization of their relationship marks a significant escalation in their alliance, transitioning from arms deals to more direct military support.
1. Economic and Humanitarian Assistance: Russia can help North Korea alleviate the impact of international sanctions by providing essential goods, such as food and fuel, which North Korea struggles to access due to its economic isolation. 2. Military Technology and Expertise: Putin showed Kim a space launch facility during his 2023 visit to Russia says that Moscow might be offering advanced technology, potentially aiding North Korea's missile and satellite programs. This kind of technological assistance would be highly valuable for North Korea, which is seeking to enhance its military capabilities, particularly in areas like long-range missiles and nuclear weapons. 3. International Legitimacy: This growing partnership also gives North Korea a sense of greater relevance on the global stage. By aligning himself with a major power like Russia, Kim gains leverage in his ongoing geopolitical chess game with the U.S. and its allies.
Oh dear. More silly nonsense about North Korean troops fighting in Ukraine. N. Korea point blank refutes this. There is no video evidence of N. Korean troops leaving N.Koea and fighting in Ukraine and more importantly anyone with a modicum of intellect will know it is ridiculous to think N.Korean troops fight alongside Russians on the front lines.

For North Korea, this partnership offers several strategic advantages. Pyongyang is already sending substantial military supplies, including millions of artillery shells, to assist Russia's war effort in Ukraine. By deploying troops, North Korea is signaling its commitment to supporting Russia in a more active capacity. In return, North Korea stands to gain from this alliance in ways that directly benefits its regime's SURVIVAL and GOALS.
The view that Japan would seek Nuke weapons is flawed, the very last nation that would be searching for those weapons is the Japanese! As the only nation to have suffered a nuke attack, the populace is very aware of the cost of having such a "deterrence", the populace will have none of that!
Yeah... The populace prefers be killed again by a chinese or north korean nuclear weapon than to have it for deterrence proposes. You are a real Einstein.
Or they might reason that if they'd had one they wouldn't have been attacked with one.

Never underestimate the stupidity and ignorance of a large portion of the American population.
Complete BS idea to think they are going to use DPRK troops on the Russian border with China. The DPRK has always been very good at playing off it's 2 Northern neighbours. If anything they were really always closer to China though (Kim Il Sung spoke utterly native level Mandarin).
I actually think China likes the whole thing at the moment as it gives China leverage and makes China look like not the worst guy.

i love your psyop headlines. thats some genius 5d chess move time radio. i salute you
I remember a year into the war when Russia's train transport decreased by almost half, they forced the thousands of layed off train workers to the front line.
At the attrition rate, North Korea's gonna have to up the number of troops sent to Russia.
No, Russia does not risk destabilizing China with NK. It is in China's best interest that NK does not remain isolated forever. Believe it or not, Russia and China are the two countries making sure that there aren't NK refugees crashing their borders...and, like it or not, Russia and China are very good allies, fighting the same enemy and their leaders are focused on their own countries interests

People.
So basically, the Putin-Kim alliance is a "win-win" scenario for both leaders, as it provides them with critical military, economic, and political advantages in the face of Western pressure. For Ukraine and its allies, however, this deepening partnership presents a serious challenge. The involvement of North Korean troops could intensify the conflict, and the transfer of missile technology or other military technology to North Korea could destabilize the already fragile security environment in East Asia.
Which is why China wants this to end

Still waiting for you to tell us the number of NATO personnel and mercs from Poland, Norway, Brazil, US, UK, Australia, Canada who will not be returning from Ukraine.
Shouldn’t the headline be “destabilizing” not destabilising?

Decent interview, only really blighted by the propensity for female British reporters to chuck pauses and inflections into their prose on purpose. They do this 'uh, uh, uggghhh' thing. Hugely unnecessary and annoying.

Russias army has lost3000 plus Fanks alone in these few years on oryx they publish geolocated destroyed vehicles and post the picture so that’s a lot . Russia doesn’t have an army to invade another country . They have access to people but that won’t work for long .
North Koreans not in Ukraine if anywhere they are in Russia, Kursk is Russia.
How many nato troops or advisers in Ukraine?
The joke is that North Korean troops will fight for food .....Russians don't feed their troops either .

Manchuria: I thought we had agreed since the Second World War that borders should no longer be moved by force. No matter how they came about in the past. That must also apply to Russia (Manchuria).
Russia opted out of that framework
@@edc1569 That's unfortunately true. But it has to be stopped, otherwise we'll have war everywhere.
Are you for real, what has putin been doing for the last twenty years. Go back to your cartoon
Im making a president or im dead.
Uk is doing too much propaganda to downplay the greatness of russia but in reality russia is more powerful than western countries in all aspects. The victory of russia over ukrain, eu and usa is an example of its strength. Uk talk and russia does what she want. Amazing!!
China's chances to take back Manchuria are the same as Russia's chances to take back Finland, or Mexico's chances to take back Texas.
I think you are correct. The nukes would most likely be flying. Terrible times-

@@vladpootin5973Russia took Manchuria by military operation 200 years ago. Now China is capable, can also took Manchuria by force. Remember many Chinese speakers in Manchuria. The same Putin excuses use when he take Donbass - Many Russian speakers. Becareful the excuse you use when you act aggressively. It will boomerang back.

The pact between Putin and Kim shows a deepening strategic alliance - shaped by their mutual isolation and shared interest in countering Western influence. The security pact they signed in June 2023 outlines military cooperation, including pledges to support one another in the event of "aggression". This formalization of their relationship marks a significant escalation in their alliance, transitioning from arms deals to more direct military support.

😂😂😂 what logic is that 😂😂
1. Economic and Humanitarian Assistance: Russia can help North Korea alleviate the impact of international sanctions by providing essential goods, such as food and fuel, which North Korea struggles to access due to its economic isolation.
2. Military Technology and Expertise: Putin showed Kim a space launch facility during his 2023 visit to Russia says that Moscow might be offering advanced technology, potentially aiding North Korea's missile and satellite programs. This kind of technological assistance would be highly valuable for North Korea, which is seeking to enhance its military capabilities, particularly in areas like long-range missiles and nuclear weapons.
3. International Legitimacy: This growing partnership also gives North Korea a sense of greater relevance on the global stage. By aligning himself with a major power like Russia, Kim gains leverage in his ongoing geopolitical chess game with the U.S. and its allies.

Oh dear. More silly nonsense about North Korean troops fighting in Ukraine. N. Korea point blank refutes this. There is no video evidence of N. Korean troops leaving N.Koea and fighting in Ukraine and more importantly anyone with a modicum of intellect will know it is ridiculous to think N.Korean troops fight alongside Russians on the front lines.
