- “Ukraine will be able to hold their own plain for the future and make it impossible for the Russians to squeeze Ukraine into a political crisis.”
The US and UK’s aid package to Ukraine will cause a “disaster” for Putin as it will provide long-range missiles and ammunition to strike the Russians, explains Michael Clarke.

get arms industry expansion and job creation.

Ron Johnsons next door neighbor should decide one day to move their property line 40% into his and claim it. Unbelievable this guy holds the position he does.
You nailed it ! Exactly correct
He is a charlatan.

Ron Johnson is a lot of what is wrong with America nowadays. A putin apologist i'm curious how much he has been paid to hold russia's talking points.
Next year another 60 billion will wipe out putin.😅😅😅😅.Lobbyists are criminals

Those poor people in Ukrain, they were living a happy life, and then putin happened, I feel so sorry fior them, life must be unbearble for them, I think of them al the time, may this end soon for them , I am an Australian, originaly from the Netherlands, may peace and happines return to you soon ❤❤❤
Tiny Ukraine didn't even have a military 3 years ago and has now completely humiliated russia. Putin and his "Kyiv in THREE DAYS!" didn't work out so well lol
Russia has now lost more than HALF the land they held 2 years ago in Ukraine.....and Ukraine didn't even have an army or any weapons 3 years ago. My money is on Ukraine.
If this is your understanding you must be seriously obtuse.
What about the people of Donbas that Ukraine shelled for eight years? Don't you feel sorry for them?
@@throughput6674 eh??
@throughput6674 Are you telling us Ukraine completely leveled entire cities in Donbas region? Which ones are no longer there?
This should have happened a year ago, taking into account the initial, sensible caution. Twice before everyone dived in and we know what happened there, Meanwhile Ukraine has proved every day of the war that they are worthy of all the required assistance, by stepping up and defending itself.
Meanwhile Ukraine has proved every day of the war that IT IS worthy of all the required assistance, by stepping up and defending itself." Right.

Absolutely! The USA has gone utterly mad! I don't know what the outcome will be in November but they're already saying that this aid package will be the last that the USA gives them. I won't print the words that go through my head when I think of the USA!
@@iansaliba-curtis1041No. The US has not gone mad. The US has a high national debt, it has minimal local manufacturing, it has maximum dependency on foreign attained manufacturing + resources, but beyond this - it has high internal divide driven by ideological stand points; one is nationalistic - the other is globalist, and that is what is playing out in the US political sphere right now.
If you look around, you will see that same thing playing out in many nations - and it's creating massive divides, and what is driving it is how open primarily left wing parties have been to immigrants, to a point that it is breaking nations: and the citizens of those nations are tired of it, growing more fed up with it, and you are seeing a rise of racist views, as well as nationalistic outlooks. And as problems grow - you are going to see more Nationalistic governments take over.
Oh, and Nationalism is not the only thing that is going to play into this. The entire left wing driven woke movement has created it's own boundless amounts of internal hostility - just most of it has been contained, and restricted in where it was spoken out with, but - slowly but surely, everyone has gotten so desensitized to the attacks, that it is starting to emerge very blatantly.
The short of this: There is a LOT going on, that is all playing into this - and if your answer is to jump to blaming the US, you should be looking at your own nation.

Ron Johnson is a disgrace! 😤
You clowns prefer to hear the lies instead? Only happy when you hear good news? Well this guy tells the truth so that this NATO Hype parade gets real and stops imagining Putins collapse. Go to Ukraine for yourselves and you will quickly agree with Ron
MAGA is the treason wing of the Republican party.
They are Pro-Kremlin and advocates of overturning elections.
I fully agree, and I am out of words as to what to say about him. Anything would be an insult to those very words.
And Tucker just interviewed Aleksandr Dugin.
@@LA-kc7ev Yeah. A. Dugin is the dicktator's chief ideologist, the RU equivalent of the Nazi's Alfred Rosenberg.
Ron Johnson is almost a tie for the dumbest US politician!
Ron Johnson sounds as though he would appease Vladimir Putin and likely ask Putin, "How much of Ukraine would you like?
All of it? OK, let's move on with it."
Ron Johnson is a failure as a human being.
Pretty much what Greene is doing she so pro Russia/Putin. The fact she doesn't even have the basic sense to understand how bad that is to let be known out in the open demonstrates how mentally unstable she is.
We won't call Ron Johnson "America first." Ron Johnson is Russia first.
Exactly
Do you mean Mike Johnson (James Michael Johnson ) the speaker of the House in the US congress, who delayed bringing the bill for a vote for Ukraine aid for six months?
Dry your eyes fud
@franceyneireland1633 no, I am ok with him. He tried to force Biden to secure the border. How can I blame him for trying? It didn't work, so it was time to fund Ukraine and he did. The delay scared Europe and due to the delay, they really stepped up and now Speaker Johnson pushed aid through. This aid will keep Ukraine afloat until Europe gets its new programs running and continually arming Ukraine. So, I forgive the Speaker for the delay. Btw, Russians are crossing the Mexican border. Border control is essential. Hopefully they will get there.
Open borders are destroying America.
How will a destroyed America save Ukraine?
Funny how Ron Johnson thinks two years is too long for a "proxy war" in Ukraine while simultaneously thinking that 20 years was not long enough for a *direct* war in Afghanistan.
Funny how hypocrisy always slaps them in the face without them knowing what hit them
The difference is Ukraine never attacked anyone.
If you are not intelligent enough to understand the context of the Afghanistan war and Ukraine war, maybe speaking out on the internet isn't a good fit for you.
Also, I'm not positive that the Honorable Representative Johnson believes that 20 yrs was not long enough...just putting that out there to consider.
@@Maja-Danmark I don't think that word 'hypocrisy' means what you seem to be presenting it to mean. There is a requirement of similarity or likeness to be compared to determine a judgment of hypocrisy. From a US point of view, there is no similarity between these two wars, other than the fact they are both wars. It isn't as if the USA is blocking anyone from helping Ukraine, or even denying selling supplies to those who are assisting Ukraine. Your dislike of the positions isn't enough to establish likeness or similarities.
@@robertevans2450 Actually, the US for a long time blocked transfer of "made in the US" weapons by their European owners. Think F16, for example. Or Maven.
The support of The UK has been incredible
@12:25 Sorry, my friend, but Ttump is _not capable_ of nuance. What happened is that the discharge petition for the pre-exisiting Senate bill was building support. So forestall that (and to make it _look_ like the Republicans could actually function) Ttump was notified that Johnson (in a weird act of reasonableness and responsibility) was going to move the House bills to the floor for a vote. Once they reached the floor, it was all over because there *is* actually overwhelming support in the US for Ukraine ... just not in the far right fascist wing of the GOP.
no wars under Trump and he's not paid off by the MIC like the Democrats are.
Sen. Johnson is absolutely disgusting.
No, he'll be proven right. Either time will prove him right or the woman saying "There's a stalemate because funding dried up". No, there was a stalemate when Ukraine was given $100 billion and they only advanced 10 km. This is a forever war, and when this $60 billion runs out you people are going to say the same thing.
No, ALL of congress is disgusting.
He is a stingy scared bird.
Oh, he just doesn't want anybody to die(!)
As if any of his reasoning makes sense
I thought a Senator would be more intelligent than a Representative - my bad
@Maja-Danmark It's how most Republicans reason, stupidly. Have you ever listened Majorie Green Taylor, you would just cry.
Slava Ukraine ! We must vote blue to help keep Europe and the world free !
Vote for the Reagan half of "red" in order to "keep Europe and the world free." Don't forget that it was Reagan's policies that led to the collapse of the USSR and the liberation of eastern Europe.
As to the current situation, we are in this mess because in 2014, Obama/Biden refused to discharge the obligations under the Budapest Memorandum to "protect the territorial integrity of Ukraine," and because Biden displayed such monumental weakness in Afghanistan that Putler saw his chance.
Presumably you mean vote for tories, which is insane. The Tories have been taking Russian money for years. can you answer why they accepted all those donations? Why under Boris was London called Londonstad? When are they going to fully release the Russia report? They're not fit to govern and have been traitors to the UK by taking their money amongst other corruption.
Russia is only 2.4 miles distant from the US if you cut the world map in two and paste the other parts together. 🤣
yeah right, free from peace with these insane demon rat incited endless wars.
Bolton, who worked for Trump, says that Trump really does intend to withdraw from NATO.
The House had enough signatures plus promised signatures for the discharge petition to pass. That is why Johnson and Trump changed their stance.
Thank God we dont have many politicans like Ron Johnson here in Europe.
Your Orban is worse.
We do have them though.. Orban and few more like like him.. And the far left, far right in most eu countries too
Johnson is just one more CATHOLIC TRAITOR.
R and D mean nothing. A third of all ‘elected’ are CATHOLIC, not Americans. 150,000 Russians invade Ukraine. What about the 500 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC invaders from 'down south'. Invading the USA? ? ? ? Biden, CATHOLIC TRAITOR is inviting them!
The far left is much more prevent and is the real danger to Europe.
Good grief, you're short sighted. Were those running Europe's governments who decided to underfund their militaries for three decades space aliens?
Scholz is worse. Dragged kicking and screaming to provide _lethal_ aid to Ukraine. And this debacle is due to Chancellors Schroeder and Merkel. Both in Putin's pocket and the problem goes deep into both the SDP and CDU. Germany refusing Ukraine (and Georgia) a membership action plan in Nato in 2008 set this catastrophe up.
Cheap gas has a large cost, doesn't it?
To see and recognise the threats now out there, should wake up everyone. Get the defences out there
The threat I see is US influence in Eastern Europe (to a lesser degree in Western Europe). We must start to resist!
Put your sons and daughters into the army then. And shut your face.
What threats?
The threats are already in our countries, and most are still not awake.. in fact, they hold hands and sing 'don't look back in anger' when we are attacked

I thought they had run out of artillery shells and missiles, Putin was near death, then they were losing in bakhmut and fighting with shovels. Then there was going to be a coup and Ukraine was going to overrun their defences with a couple of dozen donated tanks. Or am I taking reports on here too seriously?
The US arms manufacturers need to invest Trillions of USD to get to the same production rates as the Russians. That is around 10,000$ per US household. Go ahead and donate, if it is worth that much to you.
@@andreasferenczi7613Do you know why America does not have massive artillery production? Because we don’t fight WWI trench warfare like Russia does, we don’t require massive artillery duals & trains like Russia. The west has moved far past that, we do Combined Arms Mobile Warfare using smart munitions and could roll right over any Russian trench line in a matter of hours. This is why Russia would not last 4 days against a modern western military like America or NATO.

Always good to listen to Mr. Clark. Expert and realistic.
The problem with giving Ron Johnson air time is that he doesn’t know what he is talking about: US taxpayer spent this money decades ago when the weapons that are being sent to Ukraine were built. The US taxpayer will continue to pay for secure storage of these weapons and munitions until they are either given/sold to a cause like Ukraine or they are dumped. It’s not that current US taxpayers can’t afford to give them; its that it makes no economic sense to keep then when allies (people whose interests are aligned with the US’s) could use them to advance shared interests.
So many Americans don’t understand that the US can’t exist without a global mindset. Even when someone in a country on the other side of the world hacks their identity or bank account, with the connivance of that country’s government.
How did so many people become so ignorant so quickly? People like Ron Johnson were given air time.
By neglecting their education system, and the deeply selfish American attitude…
In which decade were the American people wanting to spend money on Ukrainian weapons? We didn't start arming them until around 2010? You would know more than me, Military Industrialist Schill...
The American people do not support giving so much of our money on the world's wars. Its insane to me. Look at historic military spending, it was over 5% for decades! It has never fallen below 3%. Wealthy European countries barely spent 1%, and yet American taxpayers paid for their defense? The defense of the FIRST World, not the third world. Europe owes us reparations if you ask me. They have better healthcare than us. I believe they have better infrastructure, more high speed rail? I wouldn't know, I'm too poor to visit. I believe Europeans are more able to travel the world than Americans. All thanks to the peace they have enjoyed off the backs of harder working American taxpayers.
Where am I wrong?

That's wrong to say one thing can be a game changer. Air power is always the game changer.
Air power has been nullified in this war due to effective air defence. Economics is the game changer. It costs a lot less to shoot down a state of the art war plane than to replace one. It also costs a lot more to shoot down a cheap drone than to replace that drone. We are finding out that Iran backed a winning horse in the 80's by investing in cheap drone technology. The future of this war maybe cheap decoys to drain the other side economically. I wonder if thats why the US have just bought 81 cheap Russian 70's war planes??
Amazing strategic points! Every NATO think tank should use these points to layout the next year of objectives and strategic models to achieve these objectives. Thank you very much!

USA GDP $25.44 trillion.

So about 7% of defence budget
About 0.24% of GDP.

Ukraine gave up their nukes with the understanding of having protection.
Also, over 6,000 Ukrainians performed military service in Iraq and Kuwait during the war, including a permanent presence of 1,600, and 18 Ukrainians were killed

Great conversation. I maintain a positive view of Ukraine's future given the tragic dithering of the Republican - led House in delaying necessary support to Ukraine's defenses. This is that without sufficient munitions and machines both offensive and defensive Ukraine has had to dig deeper within their rather substantial capabilities to fight and survive (I doubt even Americans could match one for one the fierce Ukrainians in a contest!). Now with a considerable supply of munitions Ukraine will use them with greater efficiency and deadlier effect. Add to this, that Ukrainian's European neighbors have been stepping up to their responsibilities to link arms together with Ukraine, to fight this scourge within their own region!
How 'bout providing Ukraine with the means to assert air supremacy over its territory? Say 200+ F16s with trained crews and pilots under a revived Flying Tigers banner if needed? Get Erik Prince on this for a billion bucks and chances are it can be done fast. It will turn out cheaper in the long run.
FAb 500 and bunker buster Bombs as well as lidar mapping to see Russian trench networks and command posts.
Give Ukraine everything they need and stop providing just enough not to destroy Russian capabilities.
The providing of just enough brings a great shame to us all in the west.

We also need to stop people getting into our country who have shown that they wish us harm, they should also not allow people who are not of our ILK be in any way able to be in positions of POWER! We need to put SELF PRESERVATION AHEAD OF EVERYTHING ELSE! Our family are ex-forces and we wholeheartedly believe we need to look after number one, ie us!
Michael Clarke actually knows what he is talking about, one of the few observers who understands the military details, contemporary Russian politics, as well as the historical context of this conflict. We are are lucky to have him
"Europe realises it's its problem". It was stunning to read pro-Putin posts and anti-american rants at the start of the war, from France. Today we can also read pro-china post. NATO, EU and US may not be perfect (far from it) but Putin and the China may not be Europe's best friends like some think.
I'm not sure the average europeans gets is quite yet....
I remember when NATO b o m b e d the G M R in L i b y a. which is/was a w a r c r i m e.
So why would Russia want NATO as a neighbour?
Good to know you support w a r c r i m i n a l s and NAZIS
Well how would we know who's the better friend really? I dunno but the past decade have really not been exceptional as far as NATO, EU, US or even the "liberal world order" goes. I'm no real fan of Russia, China or Iran etc. however it's way more then just a good or evil scenario at play here but if that were the case, we are very often the bad guys... and to be entirely frank, if we had the same kind of advantage over these "evil nations" as we do in Africa etc. we would just simply exploit them to no end... so if i was living in any of their countries i would probably also desire a though and more independent government ready to stand up against "the west" and it's imperialistic endeavors.
If you think France having anti-American Attitudes is strange: Lets just say, France had made arrangements to buy O&G from Iraq in Euro's rather than in USD. The US failing to negotiate that away, found an excuse to go to war - and terminated that arrangement by gun point, and France holds a grudge. The amount of money France has sunk into it's intelligence apparatus to shut out the US is absolutely ludicrous.
The truth is, France and Germany both have reason to be unhappy with the US. If they can figure out how to develop without ties to the USD, they will - and part of that, is understanding the importance of China right now, as well as automation, and advanced technology, but to get there - France and Germany need to strengthen their own local economies, AI development, and Militaries. As much as you might not realize it, but the war in Ukraine has been a huge justification for European countries, long having let their military languish, receive renewed focus to develop it, grow it, and that is mildly terrifying.
With China flooding the market with cheap items - maybe, the view will shift on China, but pretty much the entire west has a debt problem - and it's crippling the cost of living, it's crippling job income value, it's crippling the birth rate.
Well when calling for "Peace" and "Negotiations" in Ukraine and or Gaza makes you Pro Putin, expect a lot more of them.
Senator Neville Johnson has lost my vote.
This is the funniest channel on UA-cam when it comes to the Ukr/Rus war.... I come here to get my laughs in😂😂.. and change to more honest and legit channels to get the real information
21 minutes in and I still don't know why they keep cutting to the bearded smirking guy 😂
Russia has already lost half the land they held 2 years ago. That ain't winning.😂
Russia has also sacrificed its future. Those dead young men aint coming back to be a productice part of society. For an already overaged society, this is a tragedy.
@@frederikzinn6568 Not to mention their army is now the joke of the world😂
@@dpelpal The Russian Navy is even more of a joke 😂😂😂😂
@@Gaz9845 When did that "same guy" claim that? Please tell us, botski.
@@WuFu-ku8si I got my intel from the same guy that told me russia has now lost half the land they held in Ukraine 2 years ago. Turned out to be accurate😏
more people will also die this year
It's truly amazing to hear people talking like this. Ukraine is on the point of collapse. It's all over. Face facts.
Thank you,😊❤❤❤
Take Putin out and stop the carnage.
or zelenski -same thing
US and Boris too
But he keeps going. He must be removed
When russia lost all of kharkiv and Kherson, that ain't going forward. Russia has now lost 50% of the land they held 2 years ago, and has lost all their black sea fleet

The long rage ATACMS has a range of 300 km for the unitary model. This is the model that makes all of Crimea, including the Kerch bridge. Combined the with the naval munitions from the UK, the key Kerch bridge in significant jeopardy.
Ron Johnson trying to be a star on Russian TV. I'm sure he is getting plenty of air time over there.
I'm sure he's full of air himself. never sit in the direction of one of his farts.
shame on putin
He shouldn't have screamed the whole "Kyiv in THREE DAYS!" bit. I think the world just laughs at russia now lol
cute, Merry-Cans talking about dictatorships believing they are somehow free and moral

Viva Putin😂
Thank you.
The help that Ukraine 🇺🇦 needs is now be for it too late
Istanbul April 22 is looking prety good at the moment...Boris
I dont see why the F16's have not come into play. You would think a few runs with cluster would blunt any meat attack.
They Maintainers and Pilots are still training in a number of places. They are being joined by Air Operations Folks. They are learning how to plan and carryout strike missions. I imagine a number of the F-16s will be held as spares and instructional birds. Not sure how many aircraft they plan to field in their Squadrons but that is also being worked out along with basing. Not sure how many F-16 pilots are training in Europe or Arizona.
@@calvinlee1813 my guess would be in the high multiple's of hundreds for pilots alone. They will want to swap pilots in and out. Some on call while others in rest etc. What I am more intrigued by, is what pods are they supplying with the planes. Especially the surveillance pod, which version. As some can tie together with planes, himars, patriots batteries etc. Giving you a massive increase in lethality to incoming missiles, and ground attacks.
@@calvinlee1813 Its been a year and a half since they were announced. if it does not happen soon Ukraine will not have enough ground forces and the planes wont matter.
You don't win a war with planes and cluster munitions.
I have never been a Tory supporter, but I sense they are more committed to countering Russian aggression than Labour is.
