Thank God there are still some Americans who recognise evil when they see it. Best interview so far - well done.
Most of us know. Social media has just given every idiot a microphone
Hatefull idiots. Literally everything he said is delusionaly wrong
Russians looking out for russia bro.
@@stephenlyon1358 what?
@@TyllerBoom censorship. Telegraph are cowards.
I agree with Ambassador Sullivan. We should definitely NOT TELL RUSSIA WHAT WE WON'T DO. Thanks all.
@@kimsundermeyer3295 Yes and unlike another comment that said Sullivan was anti biden, Biden doesn't talk that much about what he will and won't do. It's Trump who talks about what he will do which is force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withdrawing all support. It's very obvious Sullivan is shouting shut up to Trump
@@sebastianforbes1 Yes. Because he does have a lot of influence. He has a 50/50 chance of being president, and he is telling Putin that if elected Putin will win. Trump is saying that he will force Ukraine to cede the conquered territory to Russia. The only and the sure way to end the war quickly is to tell Ukraine trade territory for a cease-fire because the US is cutting off all aid. Putin won't settle for less and Ukraine will have n choice if Trump cuts off all support otherwise. As I recall, the x-ambassador did not limit his comment to people holding political office. It will also encourage Putin to push to grab as much land has he can before the election and if Trump wins before inauguration day.
@@sebastianforbes1 There are many cases of presidential candidates interferring in relations with hostile powers to aid their prospects. Reagan and Nixon, for example. Trumps statements will certainly encourage Russian election interference in his favor, if they needed it.
@@sebastianforbes1 Trump has influence. He controls all the Republicans are the majority in the house He's likely enough to be the next president. Sullivan was shouting at influential people he said, not just current president. Also past political officials he was clear about that
FASCINATING INTERVIEW !!!
COLOSSAL GUEST... AND HOST. Keep them coming please.
Super great interview with the x ambassador near the end. He knows Russia and can speak his mind openly
No he doesnt, he is a neocon fraud.
Holy smokes! Sullivan brought his A game to this one.
Thanks for bringing the interview with Ambassador Sullivan, great man to listen to. From Denmark.
Greetings to Denmark from Czechia 🙂
There is no house to hiuse fighting in Donetsk. Everything quiet, just spoken to a friend, citizen of Donetsk.
Beczuse the US has had several military misadventures, now, when it matters the most, it cannot act. What history appears to be showing us is that the US always misunderstands or incorrectly assesses its geopolitical position and its military position. At heart the US is isolationist but wants to reap the benefits of being a global superpower with none of the costs.
I am starting to see that if we want to fight these authoritarians we must make other alliances. The US does not care enough about freedom to fight. It seems they are willing to give up on their own democracy.
This is one of the bad results of fighting unnecessary misguided wars like Afghanistan, Iraq, VN. Those administrations not only squandered precious resources for stupid reasons they created a resistance to military action when it is important
I agree with Sullivan, that we Americans (I am a snowAmerican and are even worse on defense issues) are sleeping at the helm in a world full of danger, this is indeed a super dangerous time for Western interests and democractic societies around the world.
Great interview 👏👏👏
I am happily a subscriber and a daily listener to this podcast. Listening from Colorado US, except when I am listening from Ukraine as a volunteer there.
The guy is spot on. Good interview. The scourge of our time: people think they have to talk about E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. What happened to discretion, "the walls have ears?" No sensible person faced with a threat would tell their enemy what they are doing or what they would or would not do in the future. It's madness.
Great testimony and perspective from the ex-US Ambassador to Moscow.
Did Sullivan facilitate Trump's gifting of Covid tests to Putin? John J Sullivan .. " overblown accusations about Trump's relationship with Putin.." ... Really ?
Great interview with the former US Ambassador to Russia.
...couldn't agree with him more that "US Govt Politicians need to shut up"...as boasting about certain Military successes (especially how it was done) gives away future "Tactical & Strategic" advantages more often than not that then become harder to replicate & thus endanger friendly military forces more than possibly needed.
...Play the game smart from start to finish.
7:25 Thanks for mentioning the Baltic defence projects!
I listen daily via Spotify… I had to jump to YT to comment. Was anyone else getting “Michael Douglas” vibes on this episode?
Basically just commenting for visibility, I personally didn´t
Thanks for showing the lost moments before. The war.
Much of US media was portraying Sullivan as being conciliatory toward and fearful of Russia.
Our diplomats failed Ukraine.
The Russians talking about a NATO "threat" was just a distraction from the true reason. NATO was never a threat and anyone with a mind that thinks understands how ridiculous that is. Unfortunately the US has some very parochial low information people.
Multiple souvereign countries have been invaded and destroyed by NATO members. Try to convince the Libyans, Iraqis and Afghans that NATO is not a threat 👍
EEEERRRR and the presence of nuclear misslies on Cuba was never a threat to the USA ????????????
How glad I am to have a mind that never thinks... ( I jest)
Can someone tell me how many troops Russia invaded with in Feb 22, and how many Ukraine had in the same month?
I wish you’d name these myopic Republicans. Another thing we deserve to know
I don’t think that would be hard to figure out with a little research
Excited guest! Wery wise words🫡
🤞✌️🇺🇦
Some countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have accepted the invitation to attend the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a press conference after the results of his participation in the 19th East Asia summit on Friday.
"A whole number of ASEAN countries have been invited to attend the [BRICS] summit and these invitations have been accepted," Russia’s top diplomat said.
"I have no doubts that the approaches being developed within BRICS to various issues of the agenda can quite be of interest for participants in East Asia summits, especially for member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations," Lavrov said.
The BRICS association was established by Brazil, Russia, India and China in 2006. In 2011, South Africa joined BRICS. On January 1, 2024, Egypt, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia became full-fledged members of the BRICS association. This year, Russia holds the rotating chair in the association. The summit in Kazan on October 22-24 will be the main event for BRICS in 2024.
Literally insignificant 😂😂😂😂 nobody gives a shaite about your association of losers
❤Ukraine ❤
If he didn't say "As I wrote in my book" every 10 secs this episode could be half as long
SLAVA UKRAINE!
One hurricane is sufficient to cancel the president’s travel abroad; two hurricanes makes cancellation critical.
Very interesting.
Great to hear from Sullivan. Putin has never been open to negotiation and that will not change until the West helps Ukraine to achieve victory on the field.
"...Putin has never been open to negotiation"
Looking at Russia:
1. 2014 Russia/Putin negotiated Minsk 1.
2. 2015 Russia/Putin negotiated Minsk 2.
3. 2022 (March) Russia/Putin negotiated peace talks with Ukraine in Istanbul.
Looking at the USA:
1. 2002 the USA unilaterally withdrew from the IBM Treaty, trashing that negotiation.
2. 2019 the USA withdrew from the INF Treaty, trashing that negotiation.
3. 2022 the USA (along with the UK) killed the Istanbul peace talks.
It has been the west, not Russia, who have evidenced anti-negotiation tendencies.
Keep up the good work. Your cope series has entertained me for at least a year. 😅 I'm looking forward to your explanation as the front collapses. P. S the kursk front has just collapsed. Would love your cope on this.
Make this guy president , surperb
Superb ? Did Sullivan facilitate Trump's gifting of Covid tests to Putin? John J Sullivan .. " overblown accusations about Trump's relationship with Putin.." ... Really ?
Where comes all warmongerers from, and why does they all end up here.
Russia.
RuZZkiy
Tories pensions and arm deals, follow the money as per usual.
Bcause GB is a failed former empire with nothing to plunder and it hurts, hurts alot

Torezk, not Donetsk
Well...😂
Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Turkmenistan's capital city of Ashgabat, where he will participate in the international forum on "Interrelation of Times and Civilizations-Basis of Peace and Development," and meet with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
Leaders of over ten states are expected to attend the forum, as well heads of international organizations, including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Economic Cooperation Organization, the Organization of Turkic States, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
During the meeting with Pezeshkian, the Russian leader plans to discuss bilateral issues and the abruptly escalated situation in the Middle East, Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov said. Other bilateral contacts are also possible on the sidelines of the forum, the aide added.
Jake, like all other living US ambassadors, is definitely a never Trumper.
Brilliant interview
What if he is just lying most of the time just to sell his book?
We hold Chinese 🇨🇳 Xi Jinping accountable for the damages caused by the Russian invasion
because of his *"no limits"* support for the Putin war.
Will take around 800 years and 2 billion Russians etc to take the whole of Ukraine at current rate .Russia have lost around 80% of wars fought in the past 200 years plus this one as it looks.A bleak future for Russia is almost certain.
So strategy of Russian diplomacy is rushing?! lmAo I’m not doubting that for a second, if language is a land gauge. But it’s time to step up, from backing Ukraine, to stand with them.
Any takers? US....France, Germany? UK? No, it darn well don't look as if anyone's gonna stand with Zski 🤣
Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava!!! Until Victory
The Ukrainian armed forces are demoralized and rout when facing Russian troops advancing towards Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) on the Avdeyevka direction, according to commander of the Battlegroup Center deep reconnaissance squad, call sign 'Yurist'.
"Our enemies, the Ukrainian armed forces, are fleeing. They are demoralized and try to rout without looking back at the first fire contact. Actually, we slowly, but steadily, approach the city of Pokrovsk, the enemy’s major logistical node," he said on a video, published by the Russian Defense Ministry.
What happened to the Ramstein meeting?
Milton happened
Yeah, about that... Biden ain't turning up, and nor now is Blinken.
The USA starting to walk away from Project Ukraine, mayhaps?
Let's sweep that under the rug, shall we?
The US ambassador can't get a translation of a 6 page document translated within an hour? He also neglected to mention the network of 9 + CIA bases established in the Ukraine before 2020, and the US/UK interrupting the very real possibility of peace with zero territorial concessions (maybe including Crimea) in April 2022. Also, wasn't the sledgehammer thing years ago and in Syria?
Translation was only one barrier. The others were more serious. Why didn't they provide an English translation question? He makes a totally convincing case but Putin had already decided to invade.
ok putin
In Kursk russia is the defender.
Ukraine must maintain supply routes through the winter.
Supply routes 😂😂😂 they dig there graveyard when they enter Krusk 😂😂😂
Thanks UT L .

Si le rire prolongeait la vie, j'aurais déjà vécu éternellement grâce à cette vidéo🍭
"We shall fight on the beaches", - I hear this quote more and more from Ukrainians. It would be lovely to get the Lend-Lease going, a real one.
this guy is anti Biden and pro trump and letting spout russian propaganda without pushback is disgraceful
@elainejustice7646 yes, I'm worried for the integrity of this channel now..... this is disgraceful, and not in the vein of Davids stalwart integrity -feels dirty!
I don't see it that way at all. He doesn't say Trump but I understand him to be primarily criticizing Trump and urging people to vote against Trump
He's totally clear on that. He says that Trump's plan to end the war means victory for Putin and a huge danger to the US
Listen again. He's critical of bidin appropriately for holding back but he damns Trump for wanting to capitulate to evil. The host knows this and gives him free reign
If the victory plan presupposes ceding territories, in effect it's capitulation.
OMG, Telegraph starting to talk about Ukraine accepting ceasing territory to Russia. It would have been a full Ukraine, but for NATO invitation in the beginning. Also, no war. But if lessons have been learned, should not Zelensky leave others to manage a peace treaty? Has ever in history a leader that lost a war, also had to negociate a defeat?
I had to turn it off when he started making excuses for Trump, that KGB asset owned since the 1980s. FML, these people.
Russia is only making modest gains - boy, that's a load off😊
So the problem is not Ukraine but Russia security concern
Duh. What else would it be?
Zalenski is playing musical exile retreats.
I think he'll end up in monaco.
No RuZZian FaZZcists in Monaco. Or Italy. Solovyov wants his Villa back 😭😭😭🤣
Please fact check report of statements regarding prospects of peace in 2025. Heard phrase "russian-milled worker" on this track. Is my phone low-jacked?
No1 cares
I’m number 1 and I care
troll much
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
This ambassador is spot on. He is so right on his views. No negociations, President Zelensky. Only a total surrender of Russua.
🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜❤️
Ceasefire Talks ?
Great interview 👍
Awesome interview!
this guy is anti Biden and pro trump and letting spout russian propaganda without pushback is disgraceful
I don't hear those sentiments at all in this interview.
