Putin has ‘failed’ by not taking Kharkiv since his invasion of Ukraine began | John Herbst

- “If Ukraine had F-16s and permission from the United States to attack Russian military in Russia, the siege of Kharkiv would not be such a problem.”
The fact that Putin has never taken Kharkiv since this invasion began is “a failure”, despite Zelensky asking the US for stronger aid defences, says former US ambassador to Ukraine John Herbst.

It is only natural that those who break the law, whether individuals or nations, are condemned. It would be strange if they were not condemned.
Europe should step up and show strong leadership and take responsibility of the defense architecture of Europe, instead of relying and blaming US.
The EU is a Confederacy, not a Republic like the US, so its hard to imagine how that is at all possible, especially when it comes to national defense. The US Federal Govt has control over the Texas National Guard, but there's no mechanism you can imagine where (for example) Poland would give control of its armed forces over to Berlin or Paris. However NATO is and has always been the best solution to this problem - the problem is that Europe hasn't been taking it seriously enough. The EU's defense industry is token boutique weapons here and there with no strategic depth or capacity. Europe needs to become a better partner to the US, who listens to and consults more closely with allies who have significant capacity for defense.
US is the one who signed the Budapest memorandum and so has a moral if not legal responsibility for supporting Ukraine. The EU didn't, yet has supported Ukraine to the best of their ability, unlike the recalcitrant US.
Xxxxing bullshxt.
@@gerryhouska2859 Excuse me? Oh OK, $175 billion plus other support is what you consider recalcitrant. But you mean the recent delay in the House, well how about all the EU states such as Budapest who try to derail the aid on that side? And finally the EU has contributed about $107 Billion so who is providing more aid and day to day military/intelligence support? /idiot
John Herbst - on of the best minds in America and with the most accurate views on Ukraine . Thank you Ambassador J. Herbst
That’s not as impressive as you think…
Just ignores that 2/3 of the world has already started to look for ways out of the dollar system, merely because of the rumors about seizure of the Russian assets. But then again, he probably has hedged against inflation and couldn't care less if the average American could buy say half as much with his salary.
Thanks!
That is correct!
But anyway we should support Ukraine as much as we can! ❤❤❤❤
I know I am.
@@user-ge5vf5md7rWe believe you. Don't come cry to all normal people how you were used and lied to afterwards, though.
No
Throwing more money into the pockets of corrupt people who were supposed to build fortifications with that money? No thanks I'm tired of this idiocy
And what,?by sending more the tax payer money?🤷🤷🤷
Never too late is what I always say
I don’t understand why nato can’t send as many patriot systems as possible? They have the money. Send them to Ukraine!!!
Firstly they don’t have the money, as the West is in debt up to its eyeballs, and secondly the weapons have to be built which takes time, of which Ukraine doesn’t have much of left.
No
Its not that simple, no NATO country has enough Patriots to cover their entire territory - not the US, and the US Army literally has none to spare given its world wide commitments. As for just buying them, well hindsight is a perfect crystal ball isn't it?
There are experts who would disagree with John Herbst. They have said that Patriots and their ammo are expensive and in short supply. Replacing the ammo is also a time consuming process.
"I don’t understand why nato can’t send as many patriot systems as possible?"
There are 230 Patriot systems in total. We are not sending them to a worthless sunflower field.
Us caters to the russians and to the iranians.Trying to appease the enemy won’t avoid future wars as we know from what happened prior to the outbreak of ww2
Yeah Russia looks like it's failing. Thank you for your wisdom, Mr. Expert.
Send them everything now
We would not want the Rich People to be upset about Thier Investments

He might has well for putinlooks like he's running the show too many hold ups with there politics ECT lost lives of ukrane forces and land all this makes america look weak in the eyes of Russia and the world president Biden needs too put Russia in it's place by allowing ukrane too attack Russian interest and defences
Scratches the back of his head with a pen while the Zelensky sound bite was on. Some of these Radio guys are having trouble adjusting to video. LOL.
Is that all you took from this? You must lead a sad life
With every second that Russia spends in Ukraine, the reparations liability grows......Russia has only one major problem with regard to Ukraine, and that is how to disengage as expeditiously as possible
This is hilarious. We all know Ukraine is losing badly. Stop all the bias
Is there any flight to travel into this world, where these people are living or we can see this part of world in our dreams. If anybody knows please inform me
This man one of the best minds in America!?!? For a moment, I started pitying America. Luckily, I know and listen to a few truly smart Americans. Hope their views prevail. 🙏
Is that the case, RuSSky🇲🇳?

Anything for your money, keep paying...

That 'host' is a tongue-tied fool, he made three or four errors in a mere 10 minute chat. Awful.
I enjoy your show a lot but this blaming America for not delivering fast enough, This is frustrating. Why do the American tax payers have to pay for everything and Europe makes promises with little delivery. Not a NATO country. Europe needs to pay. We have our own troubles with 40 trillion debt and climbing !! I'm all for helping Ukraine but stop blaming the US and maybe Europe thank god for our help. YOUR WELCOME
There is truth to some of this. But arguing such fine points when a friend's house is burning just to prove a point isn't a good look. Hopefully Europe sees the folly of what it has done in the past. But for the US image . . . Imagine what Taiwan & South Korea must be thinking. They aren't in NATO. Will they be supported until we tire of helping them?
@@hardtackbeans9790 The EU has given quite a bit of money, only the military aid was lower than one might have hoped. Which is partly due to stocks being low, perhaps we were too optimistic in reducing them when the Russian threat seemed over in the 1990s. Germany had around 2000 Leopard 2 at the end of the Cold War, now around 300 are left. Can't give too many away when you already have the bare minimum.
@@rabiatorthegreat6163 It is apparent we all must be able to switch to a war footing in a much more effiicient way.
@@hardtackbeans9790 I agree that Germany is still being overly hesitant in refilling its arsenal. There is some ramping up of military production, but it could be more.
The obligation to defend NATO member states ranks no higher than the commitment of the US under the Budapest Memorandum to "protect the territorial integrity of Ukraine" in the event of an attack. So it doesn't matter one whit that Ukraine is not (yet) a "NATO country."
Why USA, since the start of the war only gave 1 Patriot system?
I mean, do you believe it yourself what you are saying???😂😂
Isn't this the bloke from the running channel?
Russia should help Ukraine after the war, the same way allied force did for Japan and Germany.
Unfortunately, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya didn't get that help form the occupied force.
The nonsense continues...
Great analysis.
@@DavidGitongawriter thanks. I thought you would appreciate it. The message is contained within a nutshell and yet manages to hit the nail on the head. Thanks for the nod.
The sad part is when TR can’t spin the nonsense anymore they will move on like nothing happened 🤬

Russia hasn't failed..... they are on top of the world order.....the economy has grown whilst European nations are struggling with high priced energy....... Ukraine has the same chances of beating Russia as Arsenal have of beating Manchester City......
😂😂😂😂you are rediculous
RUSSIA HAS NEVER WANT TO TAKE TERRITORY LIKE UKRAINE BUT TO DESTROY UKRAINE ARMY AND IT'S HAPPENS 😅😅
He's taking it now...
Only propaganda
Putin pulled his troops back because they had negotiated a deal when usa heard about it they sent boris over and now Ukraine has suffered insane casualties
100% Correct... Borris now has 500 000 people who have died subsequent to his visit, i think he has some serious questions to answer. This war was over and the Russians were leaving, till Borris flew into town but Times does not want to talk about that even tho the Ukrainians have confirmed it... they still want to blame this on Russia even tho it was Borris who stopped the peace agreement... now why would he do that ? For once in his life he must be forced to answer and account, 500 000 deaths is no small matter.
Is that you Marjorie
Nope, I am Victoria
Ah yes, our daily western propaganda.. I'm so tired of it. Is there someone who still falls for that after 2 years?!
Sadly there’s plenty who still subscribe to their lies. Slowly people are starting to wake up to reality but unfortunately the older generation have been brainwashed all their lives and can’t tell fact from fiction.
I’m not for Russia by any means, but this is laughable. Everyone slates Moscow internal media … this is basically the British version.
Blinking has his name for very good reason, no pun intended
Do you really think Russia wants all big Ukrainian towns to feed and supply right now? 😁
According to the intelligence used to make the Feb 2022 battle plan, Kharkiv was supposed to be full of Russians welcoming Putin's army as liberators with open arms and bouquets of flowers.
Turned out it is full of Ukranians who absolutely hate Russia and who in 2022 manned the barricades to stop Putin.
So now he wants revenge, if he can't have Kharkiv, if the people of Kharkiv hate him, if he can't have a ceasefire where his forces are within artillery range of Kharkiv (and threaten to flatten it) hes going to throw the kitchen sink at getting his forces within artillery range of Kharkiv and flatten it now whilst he still has the opportunity to do so.
50 countries and their puppet master USA proxy Ukraine against 🇷🇺Russia and they lost😅😅😅
The Allies haven't even set foot in Ukraine yet, but somehow you believe that they have "lost"????
Russia is the size of 11 time zones, they don’t want any more land, they never wanted Kyiv but only wanted them to stay Neutral. They only wanted to liberate the Donbas Regions in which Kyiv was oppressing the people. Now since Ukraine keeps attacking Belgorod, this might change. 🤔🤔
So much disinformation in just three lines.
If times radio worked for Putin, not only would he have conquered the entire world, but several alien races as well 😂
The west are nervous😂😂
Never tell the enemy his failures (Napoleon).

America, Israel, times radio, total hypocrites

Hilarious. Yes, black is white and white is black. This channel says so. It must be true.
You fail in your own goals, not those others set on your behalf.
This is a sad channel.
