NATO secretary General Stoltenburg said Ukraine can win this war if the Russians withdraw from Ukraine. That was the most foolish statement of the century.
The most foolish statement of the past two centuries was made by Vladimir Putin in around 2008 when he claimed that "The fall of the Soviet Union was the greatest catastrophe of the 20th century."
Someone was listening! Ukraine cant win this war, as Russian withdrawal means defeat. Defeat is unacceptable. The window for negotiations was 5 days. Now Russia may never stop the war machine. Shall we wait for game 2 - the measured shift of economic levers by the glorious elected honorable King Putin with 100% support of Russians.
'There is a political realism that needs to be injected on how we assess each other" ... Samir Saran said it bluntly. The West assumption that they know what's good for everyone needs to stop. Don't expect the developing world to support any stand that you take without considering their own socio-economic interests. They can't afford to unlike the developed world.
I don't see it as a question of the west knowing what is good for everyone here. Ukraine wants to be a part of western Europe and not a part of the Russian federation. Putin should just accept that.
you do understand, that developing world is getting humanitarian help mainly from the west through UN. What socio-economic interest West has in this? Or is this help based on the princples, that developing world is rejecting?
yeah its the other way around actually! Developing world is showing not only their apathy but also by doing so their support for authoritarianism. Which is curious because there's plenty authoritarian governments in Africa and Asia
The collective West, led by the US, has to be one of the most evil forces in human history. They have been waging war unchallenged for 30 years. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Lebanon (via Israeli proxy), etc. Sanctions and embargoes that starve to death children and destroy whole communities. Over 500,000 Iraqi children STARVED TO DEATH because of US-led sanctions. Pure, unadulterated evil.

@@corinnem.239 Tell me a country which doesn't has an internal issue. Sweden, a country of mere 5 million people, last year as well as this year had serious communal riots. Sweden, supposedly a flag bearer of 1st world country of Europe couldn't handle it. We, India are 1.4 billion people. Just take a second to comprehend this figure. 1.4 billion people 933 times the population of Sweden. So it's obvious. Now let us come to second country USA. It had more than 50000 gun violence case just in 2020 that too it's just reported figure. Now here comes my counter. It becomes so essy to condescend a person or country from brown or coloured race. Am I right?😏 No offense though.
NATO assaulted Yugoslavia and bombed it for 78 days straight. They murdered thousands of people and reduced entire neighborhoods and towns to rubble. They bombed news agency buildings and murdered journalists. NATO bombed Libya for 45 days until the government collapsed and al-Qaeda (aka The Libyan Fighting Group) took over. NATO bombed and killed Afghani men, women and children wholesale for 20 years . US-led NATO forces are occupying Syria and stealing Syrian oil and preventing its reconstruction. All this, yet they have the gall to demonize Russia!! Pathological!

India doesn't have a stand. It gives Russia blood money. If China invaded and decided India didn't exist, you'd expect a response from "The West". You won't however reciprocate even to the point of just buying normal priced oil.
Pretty lame discussion from the Western world representatives. The Finnish guy shows the classic inferiority complex of a little nation that was historically a 'province of Russia'. The woman who had a pretty irrelevant and poor contribution. Samir made it clear that the rest of the world does not want a unipolar world, because it basically it is on its way out. I prefer a multipolar world, where small and middle sized nations are able to have a bigger say and are able to align with whom they want. That gives them more power and chance to do things independently. As far as Europe is concerned, please get your act together. Every three to four decades your continent puts the whole world at risk. Now it is even more dangerous with nukes. Europe please solve your own problems and leave the rest of the world in peace.
Are you aware that it was Putin who invaded Ukraine, not "Europe" or any "European nation" who invaded any other nation? How then are you able to imagine that Europe is the source of your disturbed peace?
Had the Europeans been so capable enough to solve their own problems the world would not have seen / Witnessed World war I & II. I was Supporting Ukraine for the first 30 Days of the War, now am sick and tired. There are no dearth of problems for Europeans. They are Born with Problems, Live with Problems And die with Problems.

It's incredible how mocking and dismissive these guys are about the Russian military, when even Josep Borell said recently that Europe couldn't sustain a conventional war with Russia for more than few weeks. And Russia is fighting with a very limited force and winning. These guys are clueless or just play the same propaganda tune we already got used to.
Though I did not judge, I did not really understand India’s position until Samir laid it out. Thank you for your clarity and helping westerners, like myself, understand and see this situation from another perspective. Very well done Samir!
India is very clear in terms of its stand when it comes to Ukrain-Russia situation. Problem is that west and EU want to see that only from their lenses without putting much of deliberation.
It is not Indian perspective. He heads a Think Tank and is sold on western media inputs. Look at what Indian generals are saying about Russian weapons- they are all very happy about it. India like others are looking for energy security and will definitely pick up cheap Russian energy. The distance and cost negates the discount. But, it is in India’s interest to have a healthy Russia. India has 55% of its weapons from Russia and therefore cannot afford them to go away. India is also trying to get Russia not to move firmly into China’s corner. The west unfortunately is trying very hard to push it there.
What he says is partially true , if u want to know India's interest and perspective watch Interviews of India's Army Generals , Navy chiefs , Indian Foreign ministry. T.b.h india doesn't trust west at all , at all , when I say at all , it really means at all. India has made its own Camp , India itself is a pole and many countries are part of it like Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Serbia, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal.
That lady forgets how much of Russian oil,gas,non fossil fuel did EU countries purchase since the so called war has begun in Ukraine? She talked about russia being become international pariah but is it really? For example Russian rubble has strengthen its place against dollar with all odds of sanction,isolation from west bloc since the conflict emerged
USA caused the original dispute and loaned Ukraine money to buy their own US armaments! Now they have lent Ukraine more money to buy more out of date armaments from the USA. USA do not want Europe to buy gas from Russia and delayed the installation of Nord Stream 2, because USA wanted to sell Europe its liquified gas at twice the price. (There are insufficient tankers or ports to provide all the gas Europe needs!) As a result, Russia increased sales of gas to China leaving Europe out in the cold and causing the price increase of gas worldwide! Then with all the silly war games around Russia's borders and now 100,000 troops on their borders, what do you expect Russia to do but to amass troops on their side? USA have started so many false wars since the second world war, won none and destroyed so many of the countries they invaded! USA needs to stop believing 007 films depicting Russia as the dangerous warmongers. 007 films need to concentrate in future as USA being the bad country. USA needs to worry about China since they are taking the world over by stealth! So could Russia be helping China to amass everyone's troops and armaments around Russia so China has a free hand to invade elsewhere! Ukraine failed to follow the terms of the Minsk agreement edition.cnn.com/2022/02/09/europe/minsk-agreement-ukraine-russia-explainer-intl/index.html ; See Putin's speech ua-cam.com/video/1qS6J-WbTD8/v-deo.html ;
Sanctions have escalated the value of the Russian currency, increased the revenue of oil, gas and grain, cut off oil gas and grain from the west and USA and strengthened the BRICS community economy! Soon all these resources will be sold to the BRICS community and none will be available for non BRICS countries in the future. Talk about a massive backfire! The BRICS community will rule the planet and China's war machine will become the world police force, as all the armaments from USA, Europe and Russia are used up and these countries become bankrupt, starving and will fail to provide enough energy for homes, businesses and transport!
You dont know much about economics, do you? Rouble goes up because Putin artificially pumps it with reserves, think what will happen once the reserves will end? If Russia will still be as sanctioned as North Korea, Russia goes back into 13th century. Also Russia is a friend of China, Indians are fools for supporting russia that is an ally of china.

I can't believe they are talking about retaking Ukraine including Russian occupied territories. This can't be an objective once a majority of Ukraine is conquered.
@@grahamt5924 "A say?" They can say whatever they want, but if you mean in terms of agreement, Zelenskyy has already repeatedly said Ukraine would not only not yield any territory to the enemy but their total objective is to regain Crimea and other Russian controlled areas. My point was that with military supplies dwindling and being intercepted and destroyed, Russia is likely to continue their advance, and the more territory they occupy, the more difficult it will become for Ukraine to "retake" their country on their own. It appears there will be a point of "too late," to be optimistic about Ukraine retaking all of its land.

Well, 'Joe Potatoe' can't help it. He's been traumatized by so much in his personal life. He should retire to a nice retirement home, someplace warm. The extra 'e' is intentional.😉
He is not objective, though better than the other clowns in the panel. He thinks that the Russian special operations is wrong without looking into the root causes of this conflict.
Russia, Putin, and the Kremlin are indeed aware of what we think and say about this war either personally or on our News outlets. In one of Putin’s most recent speeches he said “We have often heard that NATO wishes to fight us to the last Ukrainian”. Well that “to the last Ukrainian” bit is straight from John Mearsheimer. Mearsheimer, ever since this war began, has given an incredible amount of interviews, lectures, and debates, his lecture on Ukraine from 2015 reached 25 Million views! For an academic lecture that is incredible!
Thank you . But we don't so proud in this fight, its terrible but it has to be done. Just now fresh m777 artillery are bombing civil Donetsk, there are no troops there , 20+ locals were killed . Its not explainable. Zelensky army is loosing and the last thing to do , is to bit any home or civil target with running back. Thats what we see from 2014, and thats what are happening RIGHT now. No one in MSM media will tell you this truth. You know what MSM did? They just swap russians with ukranians , all they taking its about Zelensky swap with Putin and everything will stand on places.

Thank you for clearing this up for me. The United States Government and the manner in which the U.S. banking system is wired is dangerous for American democracy. Banks in America unlike their Japanese counterparts are allowed to hold enormous amounts of equity in American corporations. If you extend this network of banks out over the sanctioning network, the E.U. and the Eurasian Continent you can see that the entire system is stacked in favor of the dual citizen elites and the internationalizations of the World. If you get my drift. The U.S. government owes it's soul to the wealthy elite. Representatives are bought and sold. It is no wonder that the U.S. Government were so eager to give the Zelenski regime 44 billion dollars and gave the American farmers 250 million to boost American fertilizer output. America needs that Russian fertilizer and that Wheat for Keloggs and other's. This proves that there is more going on than American job evaporation to Eurasia. Eurasia is nothing more than a bigger market for these international jet setters. The amount of corruption within the U.S. Government and the disconnects from America to the European Union, means that these people can evade tax and do whatever they want. Individual Nation States within the E.U have veto power, and have the final say in what they consider favorable policy concerning corporations. The E.E.A. is another layer of complexity and means that nobody is in control of public policy other than the U.S. led NATO situated in Washington D.C. U.S. government is operating outside of its territorial jurisdiction. This is a conflict of interest for the the Citizens of the U.S. and the Citizens of the E.U. It will not be long before riots will break out all across the world. Democracy as we know it has been hijacked by the elites. There is nothing new about this. It has happened multiple times throughout history. There is only one problem. This time these fools have Nuclear weapons and they are going to use them. Pull up fool.
Among all these people no one is trying to talk peace the west has no morals at all they have more blood in their hands so instead of making peace they're putting more fuel to the the fire already talk peace ✌️

They're probably worried about Russian rockets and shells landing in their living rooms. I'm sure you'd leave too if you feared for your family's welfare.
The west and Russia need to sit down and come up with an acceptable to all solution . however, It’s much more difficult at this stage . Unfortunately , the warmongers will continue to have their day and are prepared to sacrifice many many more young lives on all sides for their own power and prestige .
Too soon to make that mistake of precluding Russia's absence from future. One may like to see the future with absence of US, UK, China or say Germany for example from dominance from future. Again, assuming the entitlement of sitting in complete control forever has brought US allies out from the room, may not be the building. The institutions made by US and UK are, if anything, not founded on a peaceful future. It must have warring as its key business and the reasons would keep changing, then there are divisions and the reasons would keep evolving. The world is getting closer to ethics and reading the unethical within it, with time, and reading it loudly now, is the real truth that is most discomforting to those who sit with assumptions.

Just take a second to comprehend this figure. 1.4 billion people 933 times the population of Sweden. So it's obvious. Now let us come to second country USA. It had more than 50000 gun violence case just in 2020 that too it's just reported figure. Now here comes my counter. It becomes so essy to condescend a person or country from brown or coloured race. Am I right?😏
No offense though.
Don't bring Europe and European problems to Asia and expect us to toe western narration.

Sameer saran is a gem. Thank you for nailing every answer and keeping India’s stand very clearly.
NATO assaulted Yugoslavia and bombed it for 78 days straight. They murdered thousands of people and reduced entire neighborhoods and towns to rubble. They bombed news agency buildings and murdered journalists. NATO bombed Libya for 45 days until the government collapsed and al-Qaeda (aka The Libyan Fighting Group) took over. NATO bombed and killed Afghani men, women and children wholesale for 20 years . US-led NATO forces are occupying Syria and stealing Syrian oil and preventing its reconstruction. All this, yet they have the gall to demonize Russia!! Pathological!
The collective West, led by the US, has to be one of the most evil forces in human history. They have been waging war unchallenged for 30 years. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Lebanon (via Israeli proxy), etc. Sanctions and embargoes that starve to death children and destroy whole communities. Over 500,000 Iraqi children STARVED TO DEATH because of US-led sanctions. Pure, unadulterated evil.
I thank him for remembering to who, like Mrs Karen, needs "a global government" that we ara all different and that there won't be a homogeneous world.
And I can add that we don't want a homogenous world and even less an American type of homogenity in the world.
Remind me to bring this back to you when China or Pakistan invades the rest of Kashmir and takes that territory away from India.
India doesn't have a stand. It gives Russia blood money.
If China invaded and decided India didn't exist, you'd expect a response from "The West".
You won't however reciprocate even to the point of just buying normal priced oil.
Pretty lame discussion from the Western world representatives. The Finnish guy shows the classic inferiority complex of a little nation that was historically a 'province of Russia'. The woman who had a pretty irrelevant and poor contribution. Samir made it clear that the rest of the world does not want a unipolar world, because it basically it is on its way out. I prefer a multipolar world, where small and middle sized nations are able to have a bigger say and are able to align with whom they want. That gives them more power and chance to do things independently. As far as Europe is concerned, please get your act together. Every three to four decades your continent puts the whole world at risk. Now it is even more dangerous with nukes. Europe please solve your own problems and leave the rest of the world in peace.
By all means, India, do things independently.
Are you aware that it was Putin who invaded Ukraine, not "Europe" or any "European nation" who invaded any other nation?
How then are you able to imagine that Europe is the source of your disturbed peace?
Had the Europeans been so capable enough to solve their own problems the world would not have seen / Witnessed World war I & II.
I was Supporting Ukraine for the first 30 Days of the War, now am sick and tired.
There are no dearth of problems for Europeans.
They are Born with Problems, Live with Problems And die with Problems.

What makes you think, it’s a 'strong' voice? India has hardly found its own position. 'Not our problem' isn’t much of a stance.

Zelenski is definitely out of india's focus
Could someone explain why USA bombs so many countries and their sportsmen are not abandoned when Russian is? When sport and art became a political thing? Do we have situation here that "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" ?

I love @Ian Bremmer. He is so confidently a hypocrite. No shame. It's so European.
It's incredible how mocking and dismissive these guys are about the Russian military, when even Josep Borell said recently that Europe couldn't sustain a conventional war with Russia for more than few weeks. And Russia is fighting with a very limited force and winning. These guys are clueless or just play the same propaganda tune we already got used to.

Mad respect to the Indian representative. Preach!!!
Sameer. You da man!!
Though I did not judge, I did not really understand India’s position until Samir laid it out. Thank you for your clarity and helping westerners, like myself, understand and see this situation from another perspective. Very well done Samir!
India is very clear in terms of its stand when it comes to Ukrain-Russia situation. Problem is that west and EU want to see that only from their lenses without putting much of deliberation.
It is not Indian perspective. He heads a Think Tank and is sold on western media inputs. Look at what Indian generals are saying about Russian weapons- they are all very happy about it. India like others are looking for energy security and will definitely pick up cheap Russian energy. The distance and cost negates the discount. But, it is in India’s interest to have a healthy Russia. India has 55% of its weapons from Russia and therefore cannot afford them to go away. India is also trying to get Russia not to move firmly into China’s corner. The west unfortunately is trying very hard to push it there.
What he says is partially true , if u want to know India's interest and perspective watch Interviews of India's Army Generals , Navy chiefs , Indian Foreign ministry.
T.b.h india doesn't trust west at all , at all , when I say at all , it really means at all.
India has made its own Camp , India itself is a pole and many countries are part of it like Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Serbia, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal.

That lady forgets how much of Russian oil,gas,non fossil fuel did EU countries purchase since the so called war has begun in Ukraine?
She talked about russia being become international pariah but is it really?
For example Russian rubble has strengthen its place against dollar with all odds of sanction,isolation from west bloc since the conflict emerged
USA caused the original dispute and loaned Ukraine money to buy their own US armaments! Now they have lent Ukraine more money to buy more out of date armaments from the USA. USA do not want Europe to buy gas from Russia and delayed the installation of Nord Stream 2, because USA wanted to sell Europe its liquified gas at twice the price. (There are insufficient tankers or ports to provide all the gas Europe needs!) As a result, Russia increased sales of gas to China leaving Europe out in the cold and causing the price increase of gas worldwide! Then with all the silly war games around Russia's borders and now 100,000 troops on their borders, what do you expect Russia to do but to amass troops on their side? USA have started so many false wars since the second world war, won none and destroyed so many of the countries they invaded! USA needs to stop believing 007 films depicting Russia as the dangerous warmongers. 007 films need to concentrate in future as USA being the bad country. USA needs to worry about China since they are taking the world over by stealth! So could Russia be helping China to amass everyone's troops and armaments around Russia so China has a free hand to invade elsewhere! Ukraine failed to follow the terms of the Minsk agreement edition.cnn.com/2022/02/09/europe/minsk-agreement-ukraine-russia-explainer-intl/index.html ;
See Putin's speech ua-cam.com/video/1qS6J-WbTD8/v-deo.html ;
Sanctions have escalated the value of the Russian currency, increased the revenue of oil, gas and grain, cut off oil gas and grain from the west and USA and strengthened the BRICS community economy! Soon all these resources will be sold to the BRICS community and none will be available for non BRICS countries in the future. Talk about a massive backfire! The BRICS community will rule the planet and China's war machine will become the world police force, as all the armaments from USA, Europe and Russia are used up and these countries become bankrupt, starving and will fail to provide enough energy for homes, businesses and transport!
You dont know much about economics, do you?
Rouble goes up because Putin artificially pumps it with reserves, think what will happen once the reserves will end? If Russia will still be as sanctioned as North Korea, Russia goes back into 13th century. Also Russia is a friend of China, Indians are fools for supporting russia that is an ally of china.

I can't believe they are talking about retaking Ukraine including Russian occupied territories. This can't be an objective once a majority of Ukraine is conquered.
Does Ukraine not have a say when this finishes.
@@grahamt5924 "A say?" They can say whatever they want, but if you mean in terms of agreement, Zelenskyy has already repeatedly said Ukraine would not only not yield any territory to the enemy but their total objective is to regain Crimea and other Russian controlled areas.
My point was that with military supplies dwindling and being intercepted and destroyed, Russia is likely to continue their advance, and the more territory they occupy, the more difficult it will become for Ukraine to "retake" their country on their own.
It appears there will be a point of "too late," to be optimistic about Ukraine retaking all of its land.
Historical perspective says this isn't over until the fat lady sings....

So you even know what he said? All the Indians here seem to reflexively cheer "their guy" like a footbal player.
@@afritimm We definitely know what he said , and we will always be nationalistic and only are only concerned about Indian national interest.
Russia, Putin, and the Kremlin are indeed aware of what we think and say about this war either personally or on our News outlets. In one of Putin’s most recent speeches he said “We have often heard that NATO wishes to fight us to the last Ukrainian”. Well that “to the last Ukrainian” bit is straight from John Mearsheimer. Mearsheimer, ever since this war began, has given an incredible amount of interviews, lectures, and debates, his lecture on Ukraine from 2015 reached 25 Million views! For an academic lecture that is incredible!

Samir nailed it, he cleared all doubts about india
utter hypocrite and ignorant as you can get!!
Thank you for clearing this up for me. The United States Government and the manner in which the U.S. banking system is wired is dangerous for American democracy. Banks in America unlike their Japanese counterparts are allowed to hold enormous amounts of equity in American corporations. If you extend this network of banks out over the sanctioning network, the E.U. and the Eurasian Continent you can see that the entire system is stacked in favor of the dual citizen elites and the internationalizations of the World. If you get my drift. The U.S. government owes it's soul to the wealthy elite. Representatives are bought and sold. It is no wonder that the U.S. Government were so eager to give the Zelenski regime 44 billion dollars and gave the American farmers 250 million to boost American fertilizer output. America needs that Russian fertilizer and that Wheat for Keloggs and other's. This proves that there is more going on than American job evaporation to Eurasia. Eurasia is nothing more than a bigger market for these international jet setters. The amount of corruption within the U.S. Government and the disconnects from America to the European Union, means that these people can evade tax and do whatever they want. Individual Nation States within the E.U have veto power, and have the final say in what they consider favorable policy concerning corporations. The E.E.A. is another layer of complexity and means that nobody is in control of public policy other than the U.S. led NATO situated in Washington D.C. U.S. government is operating outside of its territorial jurisdiction. This is a conflict of interest for the the Citizens of the U.S. and the Citizens of the E.U. It will not be long before riots will break out all across the world. Democracy as we know it has been hijacked by the elites. There is nothing new about this. It has happened multiple times throughout history. There is only one problem. This time these fools have Nuclear weapons and they are going to use them. Pull up fool.
Buddy you nailed it.👍
Or as Victoria Newland said " FUCK THE EU. "
Tell me a country where there is no corruption? You seem to have an u healthy dislike of the USA.
Among all these people no one is trying to talk peace the west has no morals at all they have more blood in their hands so instead of making peace they're putting more fuel to the the fire already talk peace ✌️
Banks in Europe hold much more equity than do American banks.

Too soon to make that mistake of precluding Russia's absence from future. One may like to see the future with absence of US, UK, China or say Germany for example from dominance from future. Again, assuming the entitlement of sitting in complete control forever has brought US allies out from the room, may not be the building. The institutions made by US and UK are, if anything, not founded on a peaceful future. It must have warring as its key business and the reasons would keep changing, then there are divisions and the reasons would keep evolving. The world is getting closer to ethics and reading the unethical within it, with time, and reading it loudly now, is the real truth that is most discomforting to those who sit with assumptions.

The Finns knows what he's saying by acknowledging half of the world population might think differently.....
Good discussion, but I can tell the Indian guy is a little bias when it comes to China. It seems he wants European cooperation with India to take down China. But on the rest he was alright.
I think that is obvious. After galwan we dont exactly have a high opinion for china.
Key word 👉 "the way USA respond against Russia" same would happen in case of China also or any other countries trust me when comes to financial institutions i deal with this everyday......
We Indians don't trust European or Western Countries and that's a fact, so there is no point of a cooperation with europe to take down China.
America has waged war far often for far too little
For a multipolar world china is inevitable .. India can't underestimate china like the west did with china..

Congratulations Mr Bremmer for a robust discussion!
To say that this is Putin war just show how powerful the information war is, and how shalow the speaker to not take deeper and other point' of view.
Finally, guests with independent critical minds who bring up captain obvious ridiculous hypocrisies like UK and France being on the security council but not India, Brazil, Pakistan and Nigeria.
However, "30 years of relative peace" was extremely Eurocentric, given the 4 major US wars since 2001 (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria) and the Saudi war on Yemen.

@North Korea Is Best Korea whatever Russia did is totally wrong and unacceptable but please check history and biggest violator of rule based law and human rights is USA in the world because a country from Europe is suffering then global human rights and law are things are highlighted what about Syria, Libya , Afghanistan, Uganda that have been destroyed by NATI forces it is just that if usa & it’s allies invade then they are doing great work and if some others does this they cry human rights and this hypocrisy of west has been exposed in this war and I feel pity for European countries except Germany and France rest all are puppet of usa and these countries also can’t be called sovereign nation and I want answer what does people of Ukraine got due to rhetoric of leaders of Ukraine to join NATO political elite class of Ukraine will survive or they may run to western nations for shelters in case of extreme situation but it’s the people of Ukraine that are suffering due to west and Russia and also to some extent because of incapable leaders in Ukraine who are just west puppet
@North Korea Is Best Korea you yourself accepted that west commits crimes and crime committed by west east india china Russia all should be condemned equally and if west doesn’t take Asia seriously then why the hell they have quad or they give importance to Indo pacific region and lastly if Europe is some much considered about Ukraine then they should all kind of trades with Russia but this shows their hypocrisy and also USA has not banned fertilisers and metals form Russia because of metals are banned then why will happen to their profit making defence industry out of war so west is the biggest hypocrite and I also appreciate they few western countries like FRANCE & Germany is trying to end this conflict not like USA who wants this war so they their politicians and defence manufacturers can make money and I don’t want to say but CHINA shows USA the mirror and if Europe and usa has so much care abt human rights then they should question china action in Xingiang and how did covid occur but they can’t do that because they that CHINA will hit them hard and they won’t have face saver also in that scenario

@North Korea Is Best Korea why should india vote in favour of Ukraine when Ukraine over the years have voted against india and at the same time Russia has always stood in support of india and also you can’t expect india to everyone do what west thinks we are sovereign nation not like few European countries who are just puppet and also india is sending medicines and humanitarian aid to Ukraine not weapons like western countries and also india always sends humanitarian aid to countries when required we sent vaccine doses to various countries around the work not like western countries which didn’t sent vaccine to poor nations and hoarded it so that they can make profit out of human suffering so please don’t lecture india and also india has some issues and india also commits some blunders but we accept it not like west who are king pin of hypocrisy and best at profit making out of human suffering
@North Korea Is Best Korea I have said that no one is saint it’s just you people don’t accept western flaws because of colonial mindset and expects everyone to follow you but China shows you the mirror

No one in this meeting matters whatsoever to any side. All clowns plus 10 that don't know nothing lmfao!
Beautiful conversation
Samir Saran u beauty
This is so much crap. Everytime I cut on the internet all I see is Russar taking land and winning battles but the first thing I hear from these so called experts is that Russar can't win. It's like they are asking me, "who am I going to belive them are my own lying eyes".
Waste of time. Especially the lady in the middle is completely out of touch of reality.
agree with the lady part
She used to work for UN - the most useless organisation in the World. !
Now she has resorted to "the blame game" asking why the Indian speaker who has tried to explain the intrinsic differences between world peoples...has not blamed China for the pandemic! This resort to anti China ism, following her Russiaphobia speaks to the bankruptcy of her "position". As a former U.N. employee it is a shame..why not mention any possible approach to peace & settlement.
Surprisingly weak they took over 30% of the country fighting against a nato trained country with live nato strategy and nato intelligence.
With 3x less force and peacetime army
10x manpower & weapons? Seems important.
I hope they had an ambulance ready for the guy asking questions about Putin's health. He appeared ready to keel over any minute.
I’m pleased that some people are ALLOWED to speak their minds, we need to hear these opinions rather than the MSM rubbish. There will be much ‘talk’ before the fog clears and we will see what has happened to change our world.
As a Russian it bothers me that you don't allow Russians to talk.
you are always ALLOWED didnt you know, its the " free world"
@@greglitvinov422 It's what you think, but I don't see anybody from Russia on this panel.
Bhai ne point Bola !! Lekin ye log apni Galti nhi manege
