Great interview but I must respectfully disagree with the point made that Ruzzia controls the airspace over Syria. Ruzzia doesn't even control the airspace over Ruzzia - as Ukrainian deep strikes by UAVs on oil facilities have shown.
So by your logic Ukrainian Jets can fly over Russian territory and not be shot down by Russian air defenses? There's a big difference between a low level plastic drone with a few kilo warhead compared to a jet aircraft.
After more than 2 years Western politicians are still talking about what Ukraine should have been given from the start...it makes me so angry! I cannot believe that Ukraine is having to beg for Patriot systems. Ukraine is standing alone on the front line of defence. Without Ukraine, all the civilized world and its people are all at risk.
Are you sure? 1941 to 2021, S&PI 500 fund trend. March 2020, COVID n lockdown, supply chain disruption. Terror attack, Crocus theater, Moskow. Russian deportation of imigrants. Radical islam in Europe. Ten wars in seven months. 2nd American Revolutionary war n naval blockade of Europe

The Roman army was not set up by Augustus. The army in the form that Augustus inherited was created by Marius during the republic. He was the guy who drilled them and trained them so hard they were nicknamed “Marius’s Mules”
The quote that “we haven’t invested in our defence over the last 30 years” must be a British point of view. The US spends $860 billion on national defense. More than China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, Germany, France, South Korea, Japan, and Ukraine combined.
@@user-vc5zt9ci12 The logic is as simple as ABC. After 2014 Toria Nuland coup in Kiev and overthrow of the legitimate government Ukronazis came to power in Ukraine. So,we are fighting them in Ukraine, and the West is supporting Nazis.
Experts have been saying this right from the off predicting he would overthrown a long time ago. I am no expert but from what I have learned Putin has a lot more support from within than we realise. For him to be able to wield such influence persuing this controversial war for so long he has to have a lot of support from within.
Its impossible to measure the support a dictator may or may not have within his country. Especially amongst a population as politically lethargic as the Russians.
This guy is telling us about his wishes, not what is happening in Russia. Putin is liked by almost the entire nation. The most popular leader in our times, more than those who want to rule the world by force.
Liked? Or accepted like a condition that you can't change so you just put up with it. Or the old landlord is better than the possible new landlord that you fear.
Russians who can remember the 90s and the Yeltsin years see that Putin worked a miracle. Whether or not they like him and many do, well informed Russians appreciate him. No Western leader comes close to Putin in popularity.

If you listen to it on 2x speed it's bearable as well as insightful.
He's not a Roman history expert. Rome's professional army pre-dates Augusutus.
@@Klemheist-vf1hx was excruciating hearing him slowly formulate his thoughts and tripping over enunciating them. But he is very insightful indeed.
So that would make the British Empire the worst thing in the 18th Century and the French for the 19th Century.
Very good perspective. History repeats itself over and over.
For playing silly games, Putin will inevitably win silly prizes.

In spite of the hesitancy, Roger Boyes is worth listening to as he has a better grasp of what's going on in Russia and the Middle East than many another interviewee. Unfortunately we don't learn in this video even approximately HOW Putin will be overthrown by the Russian elite. But it's good to know that it's on the cards, anyway!
With enough LSD, any scenario can be imagined.

Trump is a head of putin by 20yrs jn claiming to be chosen son of god 🤦♀️that speaks volumes about trumps state of mind
Someone should suggest that he start building a pyramid now, instead of his current pyramid scheme.
Neither of the two have ever made that claim.. I’m compelled to call BS.
@@gregorylayne9044 then all I can say is you haven't been listening
Trump has compared himself to Jesus. It was part of one of his ongoing whining rants about his so called persecution. He also compared himself to Nelson Mandela. Both claims are utterly ridiculous. A corrupt immoral clown like Trump offers nothing positive or uplifting in his crackpot rants.
trump has a mind?
Thankyou Times Radio.

He's right. We haven't invested in de fence. We need to invest in de gate

@@davidosalsero2519 your stuttering (repeating) is just as annoying.
Great speaker - and an amazing amount of information - previously not realised in my 43 years of existence. So you claim you do have the mental capacity and absolute razor sharp coherence to talk reasonedly - for 40 minutes, especially at this gentleman's age? Give him a break. He has tons, tons of knowledge you wouldn't dreaam of (I'm just guessing based on your lack of patience) - and people with great minds often aren't the best "charismatic" speakers, if that's what you're after. You should be ashamed to criticize someone solely based on his manner of speech. Be more patient. Good luck!
Very interesting - carefully chosen words and thoughtful analysis.
Important information, but I did find the speaker increasingly difficult to listen to as he verbally stumbled along trying to get his ideas out.
My point exactly ummm ahh umm ahhh
Yeah, it's difficult to expressed a clear line of thought when making it up on the spot. 😂

Maybe you should take note of Putin’s speeches.
He shows up the _entire_ G7 group of, lolol, 'leaders' for what they are: on-the-payroll, look-after-No.1, empty-suits with as much political IQ as a baked potato.
It was largely the Marian reforms that transformed the Roman army into the structure that we are more familer with today - not Augustus.

5:33 We stopped investing in defense? So NATO defense spending went from $600B in 1990 to $500B in 2000, but by 2011 it reached $1T and sits now at $1.2T. That is called stopped investing in defense?!? I need some of the stuff these people have been smoking!
a lot of pensions and some research into new weapons but very little capacity to pump out volumes of ammo and equipment, unlike Russia
@@GeraldBeagan-ee6se All of that is considered investment. What they should say is not, that they stopped investing, they should say, that the whole Western political class was totally corrupt and invested in useless weaponry that only served to make the rich even richer. But I don't expect any Western media anymore to criticise those in power, that would be such an undemocratic thing...

The Ukrainians are a naturally happy, cheerful lot. The ruzz dont like that, determined to stamp it out.
Whatever happened to good old assassination, once an American tradition, and why is Putin the only one allowed to do it in Russia. Come on folks, it's amazing what you can do with modern plastics, you can even print your own daggers at home.
Such great Democrats
However we may hate him, Putin is smart. He has been considering all kinds of scenarios that might throw him out - much more thoroughly than anyone who may want him out. And he has prevented all those potential scenarios - political competition, popular uprising, dissent of oligarchs and "elites", large military mutiny (what made Prigozhin suddenly change his mind?), even external intervention (countries that in principle could get rid of this regime are actually scared of this possibility - the US especially).
@@kazkaskazkas8689 Invading Ukraine was not smart. Its showed how out of touch with reality Putin is.
@@proselytizingorthodoxpente8304 And he's getting away with it. His power domestically has consolidated. And there are no external powers that would do anything to oust him (those who maybe could, are scared or not willing).

The question is who could replace Putin and what. If is a palace coup or the system just crumbles down.

@@Piden-l4b No it’s exploring all avenues. I’m not speculating what actually will happen.
Putin as all despots, have carefully removed potential contenders from power. So a palace coup is unlikely. But there’s always hidden player’s, so it’s not totally impossible.
A system collapse is more likely. Putin these days, can barely handle one major crisis. Several in a short time could topple him.
Also Putin will die or succumb to ill health.
Russia is simply too big to ignore. Therefore we must look at all scenarios. To develop a framework of international response.

A fine and fascinating interview. We've learnt so much. Thank you. I wanted to ask heaps of questions...
How can you have learned so much from someone who has learned nothing?
Ummm ughhh?
¡UFF! 🤷
When will you realise realise that people are beginning to question Democracy, while Putin is doing it we will procrastinate, as for the US I am disgusted with what is happening to this once powerful great Country.
When do we get actual news from Times Radio , and not just more endless speculation about what might happen ???
It’s a propaganda outfit. You’re wasting your time looking for news.
How's the troll farm, tovarich? Has last month's salary potato come through yet?
PS Real news below.
World Bank figures according to ‘Purchasing Power Parity’ have China USA India Japan and now Russia as top 5.
‘Looking at GDP in PPP (purchasing power parity) terms removes price level differences and allows a better comparison, especially of living standards, between countries. In these terms Russia has just overtaken Germany to become the fifth wealthiest economy in the world and the largest in Europe, worth $5.3 trillion’.
there is no news. russia is fighting in ukraine, that is about it.
Times Radio isn’t a news station - I suggest you go elsewhere if that is what you are looking for.
Those trees looked good shot through a wide lens! I haven’t cycled there before but plan to do the NF 100 in June. Look forward to watching your next post.

Excellent and informative
Excellent interview. The Roman Emperor analogy is good as Russia works in a somewhat similar way. Very top down, very dependent on dynamic leader. And when that leader ran out of ideas & power that leader was killed. And chaos followed. Eventually leading to Rome's collapse (Western Empire)
And poo-tin knows what's coming. You see, he went to a fortune teller to learn about his future. The woman said:
_"I see you passing through an immense crowd. People are cheering, clapping, waving at you."_
Happy to hear that poo-tin asks:
_"Did I wave back graciously"?_
_"No... Your coffin was closed."_
We're waiting, come on!
And the Western Empire took about 200 years to collapse
@@ZippyZapBike That would never work in russia. In the last about one hundred years russia has collapsed no less than twice, and each time it all happened pretty quickly.
Is he making it up as he goes along? Erm the demise of erm..erm Musa erm Put, Pu, Putin.
Great interview but I must respectfully disagree with the point made that Ruzzia controls the airspace over Syria. Ruzzia doesn't even control the airspace over Ruzzia - as Ukrainian deep strikes by UAVs on oil facilities have shown.
True
So by your logic Ukrainian Jets can fly over Russian territory and not be shot down by Russian air defenses?
There's a big difference between a low level plastic drone with a few kilo warhead compared to a jet aircraft.
After more than 2 years Western politicians are still talking about what Ukraine should have been given from the start...it makes me so angry! I cannot believe that Ukraine is having to beg for Patriot systems. Ukraine is standing alone on the front line of defence. Without Ukraine, all the civilized world and its people are all at risk.
Been saying this for a few years now and nothings changed 🤷♂️
Really and nobody has taken any notice of you on UA-cam! Politicians should be ashamed 😂
Are you sure? 1941 to 2021, S&PI 500 fund trend. March 2020, COVID n lockdown, supply chain disruption. Terror attack, Crocus theater, Moskow. Russian deportation of imigrants. Radical islam in Europe. Ten wars in seven months. 2nd American Revolutionary war n naval blockade of Europe

Ever since I was a child, I really wanted Putin out of power. I just thought it was impossible to oust him. But with each decade he's in power, I'm more and more optimistic that it will happen soon 😊
obviously. the mans in his 70s. another decade or two and he'll be gone. im just worried the next one to take over will be make putin seem like an angel

Possible the best comments thread Ive ever errhmmm read.
The Roman army was not set up by Augustus.
The army in the form that Augustus inherited was created by Marius during the republic. He was the guy who drilled them and trained them so hard they were nicknamed “Marius’s Mules”

The quote that “we haven’t invested in our defence over the last 30 years” must be a British point of view. The US spends $860 billion on national defense. More than China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, Germany, France, South Korea, Japan, and Ukraine combined.

BOTs are buZy
Experts have been saying this right from the off predicting he would overthrown a long time ago. I am no expert but from what I have learned Putin has a lot more support from within than we realise. For him to be able to wield such influence persuing this controversial war for so long he has to have a lot of support from within.
Its impossible to measure the support a dictator may or may not have within his country. Especially amongst a population as politically lethargic as the Russians.
This guy is telling us about his wishes, not what is happening in Russia. Putin is liked by almost the entire nation. The most popular leader in our times, more than those who want to rule the world by force.
Liked? Or accepted like a condition that you can't change so you just put up with it. Or the old landlord is better than the possible new landlord that you fear.
