Putin's offensive capability will be gone 'within a decade' | Peter Zeihan 

They hit the power station engine room in Dnipro. They said the Ukrainians were planning to open the floodgates and flood Zaphorizhe. Now they can't open the gates.

He’s no longer pretending that he’s only attacking military targets. He’s said he wants to reclaim Ukraine into Russia and if we stop helping Ukraine defend itself it’s game over and if we send soldiers to fight Russia or we send soldiers into Russia it’s World War III.

Why don’t you post some images from around the city?

@@noahbrooks8939 That would give the ruzzians battle damage assesment.

Hello John I hope you’re okay my hart goes out to you all in the Ukraine.

We in the Netherlands are in debt by the Poles. Especially those who fought in Italy and Falaise and Arnhem.

The Poles are great people! 🇬🇧🇵🇱🇺🇦

@@ducomaritiem7160 😍

If you didn't know, he has his own channel where he does daily updates. (just lately, whilst hiking in the mountains.) It's called Zeihan on Geopolitics. Plus, there must be a dozen wanna-be channels that straight up steal his videos and repost in whole or part.

OK, but she always goes "uuuhm, aaeehhm" which is annoying and not professional.

Same guy that said Ukraine is winning 😂😂😂😂😂😂 joker

​@@antitakt8196 I thought those ummm and ahhhh s were part of a proper etiquette? 🤷‍♂️😄

So very true. US media like to opine and frankly, yak, over, under, around and through their guests. Interestingly, one of the few interviewers who knows how to ask a question and then shut up is sports guy, Dan Patrick.

@@Fhkky I have been listening to him be wrong for 2 years. It will be interesting to watch him eat crow.

By which you mean the Times is an echo chamber that validates your deeply held pre-existing opinions.

Come on now this guy is terrible he described the US war in Iraq as a modern war lol, It most definitely was not. They surrendered and didn't put up a Fight. There's a lot in here and it's just ridiculous.

@@insanebe1 Not a fight? Sure if you get your news from aircraft carrier banners.

The trolls are getting better educated in obfuscation techniques.

I've been a permanent resident here for 10 years,, I totally agree, Mr. Zeihan is on point, can't fault anything he said at all.

​​​@@irongronI used to recall some of these analyst/authors saying they cant or wont launch nukes. Also its not a button, it takes other to hit the buttons besides one dictator. This could be the one thing to get his allies to flip on him. Thats what they keep telling us, China will cut them off, etc..

By spreading fake propaganda

@@jjcdrumplay Yea exactly, there's a chain of command and PAL's (permissive action link's) with US weapons tha prevent unauthorised use without the codes, but the Soviets were too backwards to ever implement them, and it's doubtful the russians are any better. But yes, it's not someone in the kremlin "pressing a red button". They probably give out the launch codes over the phone, who knows.

​@@abdirahmanahmadalifarah926If he's spreading fake propaganda then you're saying he's telling the truth. But you're too thick to understand the meaning of your own comment.

Tell that to the politicians and billionaires of the world, who make massive profits on war and division.

These are platitudes. No one can stop nuclear war, and how do you know it can't be won. Yes it will be horrible, but so is life

@@antoninolandolina8174 ****the politicians and billionaires**** of course that is WHERE THE BIG MONEY IS !

So, anytime someone threatens nukes we have to surrender to them?

Aha! Just as I thought: the Dutch are thinking of invading Flanders.

That means you be nuked... not very intelligent. Ukraine planning invading Russia with nato. So Russia Africa China asia North Korea. Muslims, against no military NATO. Lol. Russia is not Soviet union. Bunch republics . Asians to Muslim states. Mixes of people. Diverse and accepting. Not good idea to go after Russia. Putin wasnt president you ben nuked all ready to preserve Russia. They just protecting themselves. Russia was on are borders we blew up Canada in a second or Mexico. All a sham. Looks like west be wiped out . Too out of shape and military small. All the immigrants can join military and coo your government helping Russia or anybody who hates us . Lol. Sad truth of situation. Immigrants can build military force with your own weapons . Lol.

Mr Zeihan on point 100%. Great return guest.

Kate, posh English academic living in a north London bubble. Anyone who doesn't vote democrat is filth in her eyes

yes, one of the most informative broadcast this month.

It's always good to remember that no matter what the state of Russia is at the moment, it will only get worse.

Russia "will" pay the highest price, but the Wider West should support Ukraine fully who are paying a high price currently just for being Russia's neighbour!?!

​@@TomTomicMicyeah man Russia brought it on itself

Stay away from western media!🤦‍♂️

Trajectory is currently irrelevant. The sanctions imposed up until now will take at least a decade to recover from. Every month that passes adds close to another year to that. Further enforcement steps like secondary sanctions and holding sellers responsible for where their goods end up will multiply these effects. I like Peter's idea of a blockade though. That would have a drastic impact on the rate that other sanctions bite too. Plus reduce willingness to evade sanctions by folks that don't already do it for the likes of NK/Iran.

So you look forward to see Medvedev as president?

@@Jensbaj Are you asking him or putting words into his mouth?

Yes, Little Piggy. I do not understand the EU being so tolerant: he & the cronies get 67 billion EUR/budgetary period from the EU in return for the sabotage he delivers. EU should consider either revoking Hungary's voting rights or getting that country out of EU. They harm our interest for safety and security.

@DMG380 His party has increased its percentage in every election. The man has popular support, unlike, oh, the unelected Sunak (not EU) or the flailing Scholtz. You don't see Hungarian farmers protesting.

​@@mitchyoung93 I'd imagine it's not a good idea to protest against Orban in case you fall out of a window on the 10th floor

​@@mitchyoung93You must really love fascism and a leader who through his actions is forgiving of pedophiles. Enjoy the weekend, polish your jackboots.

@@chipledhungaman that's an overexaggeration of how the new-right in Hu has seized total power in society, which they did thru clever means of simply shutting down age-old insitutions like public media, university departments etc. It's a social opression that Hu's conformist-enforcement new-fascisti culture is trying to use to dominate all of society. They use it by appointing cronies to courts etc, who are not free thinkers, they're ideologues. Poland did similar or tried to and is now moving back again toward sanity.

It's an accurate analysis even if the future plays out a bit differently than predicted.

Peter speaks what some people think but are afraid to speak out loud.

He's very often right, but when he's wrong it's either thought provoking (which I welcome) or informed wrong if you see what I mean? All in, he's very much worth listening to in the sphere of good information available on this subject.

Rarely correct

No one is always correct. We are humans and we are guessing. The key is to lean on people that are more correct than not correct, and Peter is that.

They are losing regards to losing man power and only 433,237 soldiers dead in around Ukraine, man power is losing…..

If you think Russia is losing, you're taking too much kool-aid.

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅I wonder what they would say if they are winning.

@Karl44444 Use any common sense that you were given laddie, and you will quickly work out that that number is preposterous.

@@SonnyBubba Thanks

There is only one fatal error President Zalensky made and that not to listen to President Biden s warning that Russia was about to attack them..Biden had the intelligence and instead of listening to the warning he asked America to ease back on the Rhetoric. Putin told Zalensky he had no intentions of invading Ukraine and the build up of troops was just a military exercise. Zalensky could have amassed over 100,000 troops on the border but instead he did nothing. They were lucky they were able to save Kiev...

Russia picked the wrong country to bully/annex.

Top sarcasm there

Fighting Russia with grossly overpriced Hollywood NATO chocolate weapons is not smart, its totally Dumb.

@@dessmith7658 Dude, Jog on. No sarcasm just facts the Ukrainians are a very different people to us. We lost our toughness a while back. I wonder why. ✌🏻🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧✌🏻

So you want war

@@deanbryce8263 Doesn't need to be a war, just calling a bluff.

US is forbidding Ukraine to hit Russia oil and Gas infrastructures with their own weapons. How is Ukraine even thinking winning this War ? US is making sure that doesn't happen !

@@deanbryce8263 Europe is already at war for the last 2 years if you hadn't noticed. As Peter said, there will be a wider war anyway, so either in a NATO country or in russia, so let's have it in russia.

@@deanbryce8263 Putin already made the decision for war. And he didn't consult you nor anyone else.

🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, It'll be great when conscription in the USA puts people like you on the front line. Right about that point I expect you start wondering if perhaps peace talks and redrawing borders is a better deal than playing dead in a trench with a drone overhead. It's a constant source of disappointment that people don't want to accept that the past got us to where we are today, and if the past says we're the bad guys then that means... What exactly? I wonder if anyone here can work that out.

Well done France? Will you still say Well done France when the nukes fly?

Upsetting the banker's

Maybe they should send Saint Greta to sort this out?

So you are writing that Ukraine itself became the largest most efficient Green Peace organization in the world?

@@morstyrannis1951 how dare you she might say a woman who was curiously silent about Nord stream rupture off her native Sweden yet commented about the karkova dam breach and the war in Ukraine and about the war between Hamas and Israel

Well played 😂👏

The risk is the US bringing the world to nuclear destruction

A naval blockade is a declaration of war by international law. The country is not United enough like it was back during the Cuban crisis to support such a move, it’s just risking more than it gains.

@@Alastair_Adana It doesn't have to be the Americans. Frankly, it shouldn't be either. You have the Fins and the Swede's in the North with a British and French backdrop, that can take care of the Baltic. Those same countries with additional support from the Americans, Canadians and the Danes in the Arctic. Turkey and to a lesser extent French, British, and the Americans at the Black Sea and the Mediterranian. Europe has to face the idea that American military support is going away, was always going to go away. This is a European conflict and must be dealt with, primarily, by the Europeans. They will hang around for a while with Ukraine, and if things go sideways there quickly, they will be there with NATO. But there does have to be a shift in the Eurozone that they no longer can just focus entirely on trade and production, with the US shouldering the bill for military power, that deal is in its twighlight years and will be gone before you know it.

​@@metalenceladusTurkey isn't going to help 😂 they're supplying Russia with drones

Its strange how no one supported Iraq when it was invaded, a million citizens killed, for WMD that USA knew didn't exist! You people make me sick, you allow Palestinian civilians to be slaughtered, to be exterminated! You do nothing, you say nothing! You are despicable supporters of evil..

If Nato is smart they would topple the Belarus regime.

ISIS last night headed for the border of Belarus after terror bombing Crocus concert hall in Moscow

Belarus isn’t at all unstable and Lukashenko is quite popular, so likely no phony ‘color revolutions for democracy’ in Belarus funded by western intelligence agencies and people like Soros.

You already free Ukraine from the legit elected president - now look at consequences.

Even if he was willing, Lukaschenko is in a poor position to do much. His military is small and focused on internal regime security, not expeditionary power projection. He's had a history of oscillating between closer ties to Russia and emphasising Belarus' identity as an independent state. Better for him to lay low, rather than risk destabilising his vulnerable position.

This is not 1939, give yourself a slap, forgive and forget.

Complicated by the fact the Polish relationship with Ukrainians wasn't exactly fraternal . An enemies enemy isn't necessarily one's friend!
