Sikorski is the best FM you can ask for. His UN speech about 2 days ago was amazing.
That was amazing... there was a DW doc re: RU gas... it showed Sikorski in UA during the Maidan hence his lambasting of the RU FM @ the UN... how RU maintaines it's seat on the UNSC is totally beyond me.
100% true
@@georgek1234 bkz of tanks in Berlin that's how it works
Sikorski's arguments show that with his Oxford Uni. political science degree, American journalist as a wife, and coming from Poland - a country with a thousand-year experience with Russian imperialism - he knows what he is talking about and is a perfect contributor to this discussion.
ua-cam.com/video/I8XKThDw2QM/v-deo.html Watch his famous UN speech. It was epic.
The Polish Foreign Minister is certainly brilliant and a welcome contributor to this critical discussion about supporting Ukraine and the advantages of a strong NATO alliance. Hence his comment about not sending an invoice to America for 2,500 Polish Soldiers going to Afghanistan while 10,000 American Soldiers are stationed in Poland was even more shockingly absurd.
Like many Oxford educated, European politicians and American journalists, he calls on America to do more for Ukraine after 75 years of America always meeting her commitment to NATO spending 6% of GDP for defense, covering 70% of NATO's financial expenditures in 2022 and sending $70. He employs that Oxford education and journalist wife's knowledge demand more from America while ignoring those 20 NATO allies, like Germany & France and Poland until recently, failing to spend at least 2% of GDP after committing to do so in 2014.
Like the American saying, "You only beat the hardest working horse to get more work done and never the rested, lazy horse." Brilliant! He's a natural for the next President of the EU Parliament.
@@506thparatrooper Poland has been spending 2% of its gdp on military for about 15 years!!! Today it is almost 4% so what is your point?
@@Blanka1100Exactly. With incorrect data, this seems more of an emotional opinion rather than an argument based on facts. Sikorski is good at giving numbers to support his position, as this video shows.
@@Blanka1100 As an American Soldier, I am grateful for Poland's increasingly strong contributions to NATO and Ukraine. My point is while the Foreign Minister calls on America to do more for Ukraine touting Poland's efforts, he would do well with the American people comparing Poland's efforts with America instead of only mentioning invoices for Polish troops, Poland's most recent percentage of GDP for defense and recent Polish contracts for advanced American weapon systems. Percentage of GDP: America's 6% GDP for 75 years compared with Poland's 2% of GDP average beginning in 2015, invoice for 2,500 Polish troops annually to Afghanistan compared with an invoice for 10,000 American Soldiers in Poland, and Polish military contracts for Abrams tanks, Patriot air defense and F-35's fighters (All top military technology America spent trillions of dollars researching & developing) compared with America's millions of dollars pumped annually into Poland's economy also good for Polish business as those 10,000 American Soldiers spend on the local economy, local nationals on American bases pay, etc. According to Polish government information, Poland spent 2% annually for defense 5 times over 15 years 2009-2022, 2.1%, (2015), 2% (2018 & 2019), 2.2% (2020 & 2021) and 2.4% (2022). From 2000 to 2011, Poland spent 2% once in 2007.
Poland is a great ally and strong force for NATO's collective defense. America demonstrates her commitment to Poland and NATO always meeting her NATO commitments and putting American lives on the lone stationing 10,000 American troops in Poland in addition to the 100,000's of American Soldiers in other NATO countries.
To all 3 of them , but especialy to mr. Radoslaw Sikorski .... RESPECT !
Paradoxically, the USA is the only member of NATO that has taken profit of article 5 a couple of times. For instance after 9/11 in 2001.
That is a very fair point. The Iraq war was the beginning of this mess and weakened NATO.
Well, Afghanistan, Egypt, ....
To be fair to Americans they have been carrying 80% of the costs of NATO and Europe defenses. Their current position is disapointing but it does not change the fact that much of western europe had a free ride on defence.
Are you being serious? The US is literally the only reason that Europe wasn’t folded into the Soviet Union. That’s Europe’s problem. You can’t accept the fact that you aren’t the center of the world anymore. Europe is now largely second rate powers that are more interested in turning their countries into vacation resorts for their citizens than actually sacrificing at all to defend themselves. I was in Afghanistan, the European contribution was minimal. The only country that truly made a difference was the UK.
@@Pawelec801 To be fair the EU is carrying all the refugees that come from those interventions.
Polish guy exactly correct it nothing about Ukraine it's very good business for America
Also, excellent business for Poland is the presence of over 10,000 American Soldiers stationed in Poland since the war began in Ukraine. This includes an American armored brigade & combat aviation brigade, America's Fifth Corp Forward Headquarters in Poznan, missile defense system in Redzikowo, equipment & ammo depots in Powidz.
All those benefits for "America" really go to 1% of wealthy people who benefit from military contracts, ammo purchases, etc. The general population in America is disillusioned and realizes they will never see any of those benefits, so this argument won't change their minds
@@506thparatrooper and Poland is paying for these 10,000 American Soldiers. God bless them...
@@marcinpok4264 I would agree with you but then we would both be wrong. Having worked for two US Army Generals in Europe, 2013-2017, I understand the difference between host nation financial support and the much larger unreimbursed expenses to the American taxpayer.
Poland will pay about $300 million for infrastructure like barracks, naval & aerial port improvements, etc. The largest initiative is $93 million for new Army barracks & dining facility in Powidz, a major aviation and logistical hub for the U.S. military. Other projects include a $35 million rotary wing apron in Powidz, fuel storage and rail improvements in Swietoszow, and aerial port and taxiway upgrades in Wroclaw and $16.2 million to establish a “company operations facility” for U.S. special operations troops doing missions in Lubliniec. Source - Stars and Stripes
Poland will recover most if not all its expenditures through the millions of dollars injected into the local economies and Poland assuming control of these bases whenever the American forces withdraw.
Maybe so, but that's not the type of business we Americans want to be working on. We would be much happier building EV charging stations and working in our state-of-the-art factories making things in the world actually needs. I know Ukraine needs these weapons right now, but nobody feels good about making things that kill people.
I might be biased. But Sikorski is really on point.
I was thinking the same, and in a way, I'm biased, too... as I live in the UK but shop mainly in my local polish mini market. 😊 It can be a bit challenging to translate some products, but the quality vastly outweighs the language barrier.
What I'm trying to say is that the Polish people deserve more credit than what's given to them, especially in the UK
He is on point
You're not biased. He's totally on point. Good man. Excellent communicator. Good to have him on board again. From a Brit in Europe.
See Coupmoron shows his true colours about his intentions towards The E.U.
Did anybody actually vote for him?
Not at all… I too found him succinct in his analysis and I’m not polish, I’m Australian but originally from Austria 😊
This was a great discussion. It showed how mature, intelligent, and intellectually honest politicians think and talk. Not the clowns of AfD, Die Linke, Trump Maga, Orban Fidez, Poland Pis, Erdogan Justice party, etc.
I like to disagree.
In any case, the clowns are currently in the German government and the effects of their disastrous policies are already clearly noticeable.
Anyone who talks about "honest" politicians has not understood politics.
must be sarcasm i hope
British level sarcasm detected. Well done 😉
The clowns were clearly sitting in this round, unmistakably.😊
Its not a great discussion when three people who already agree with each other get together and talk. Its just a hi profile chit chat.

I really like the German FOreign minister Mrs Annalena Baerbock. She's a complete opposite from the former minister who was a staunch pro Russian politician. Annalena took a hard stance against Putin and Russia from the very start, much harder than her Chanzelor Sholtz..
I also like the chemistry between her and the ministers from GB and Poland... It's always a good thing when politicians like each other which makes them talk more openly and candidly...
Minister Sikorski knows how to explain thing extremely clearly. Americans have a simple choice and they should make it, quickly . There is to much at stake here for all of us including the safety and prosperity of America.
Ha ha ha 🐑🐑🐑 beeee beeee beeee!!!😅😂

Great interview. Thank you.
I am surprised not to see any trolls posting around and spoiling the debate. What’s happening?
they were delegated to another video. rustard bots and usefull idiots works like a swarm plague
Sikorski is the clever one
THE BEST PIECE: AB forthright and focused; DC clear articulate RS very timely though reserved he is forthright and VERY knowledgeable, equally clear and focused brings URGENCY to the table; ET (WSJ host) eloquent prepared and efficient; guests focused and knowledgeable…. Excellent piece.
Sikorski did his homework and came prepared
Poland has moved from having the worst-but-one government in Europe to having the best.
We will see.
As a Pole I would say that worst government in Poland was until 2008.
You're wrong. Beside Sikorski all new goverment is much worse.
Yes, we have the best government now. They're all incredibly competent, and having almost lost democracy in our country, they're very motivated. At the same time the internet in Poland (and on Poland) is heavily infested by Kremlin trolls. Not surprising at all.
Wrong. Actual government (with Donald Tusk as PM) has stopped all important infrastructural investments in Poland (Central Flight Port combined with fast railways infrastructure, Odra - river regulation for transport, Baltic Sea container port near Szczecin and more - all this moves are very welcome by Germany, by the way). Tusk`s government is also questioning military contracts signed both with South Korea and the USA industry - the future of polish armed forces is very uncertain now. Moreover, Tusk's government brutally violates the Polish constitution, undermines and ignores court decisions, takes state institutions (state television, the General Prosecutor's Office, etc.) beyond all legal regulations, places its people in state-owned companies etc. - all this is the so-called "restoring the rule of law".
As to Radek Sikorski speach, I can not dissagree. Maybe He is the only one in this government whom we can trust, but it is really difficult to convince myself He is out of all described wickedness.
So no. This is not "the best government in Europe", unfortunatelly.
This is incredibly eye opening..Thank you for your session. I will study and continue to equip myself in forging onward despite the many obstacles of those who would prefer that I fail at being a voice for the people. I appreciate all that your organization is doing, it has been life saving and validating for me in this last week. 😊
Europe should take this as a lesson and never again have to rely on the usa
Russia was always better to and for Europe!
That would mean Europe actually funded its own defense instead of cutting its defense spending from 3% to 1.3% at the end of the Cold War.
That would also mean an end to the green agenda that foolishly shut down nuclear power plants forcing them to send billions of Euros in profits to Russia for oil/ LNG imports.
That would mean a radical shift in immigration policy to rebuild plummeting populations for decades in every European country.

We have had big waves of refugees from Africa, and some years earlier from Syria.
What if the US stepped up for once?
US aid to Ukraine is 76 (77) billion USD, the EU has paid, and has promised over 167 billion USD. Add to that the fact that the US GDP is 30% bigger than Europes, so if we pay "the same", the US should pay 30% more.

The USA Senate passed a law in 2022 with the annual defense budget that no president can withdraw from NATO without Senate approval
Trump can fundamentally undermine NATO despite the law by just refusing to honor Article 5. Besides, it is his plan to purge the government with Project 2025 so that he may consolidate the power of law enforcement and the military to serve him instead of the Constitution. There is little doubt that his election to a second term will end democracy in the US, and plunge the country into chaos.
I think the purpose of the law was to convey the importance of the alliance to voters, but we can see that the GOP no longer cares about such matters, preferring isolationism, lawlessness, and dictatorship. Perhaps GOP should now stand for Government of Putin instead of Grand Old Party as it seems to have more in common with Ukraine’s pro-Putin Party of Regions.
Hence NATO countries feel no real urgency to fund their own defenses instead of sticking the American taxpayer with much of their defense costs as well as providing Ukraine with critical military equipment Europe can no longer produce.

Many European countries benefited incredible increases to their economies like Germany home to most of the 300,000 American Soldiers and their families stationed there during the Cold War and the over 100,000 for the past 10 years. Poland enjoys all the benefits of 10,000 American Soldiers stationed there since the beginning of the war in Ukraine.

This is how the game looks like at the moment. The USA support to Ukraine goes mostly to USA companies, create USA jobs and in general activate the USA economy. The EU support is BIGGER in numbers but also goes mostly to USA companies, create USA jobs and in general activate the USA economy. If EU is in troubles we need to "PAY" our NATO contribution so the money keeps going to the USA but when the USA is in trouble, as for 9/11 , we in EU have to send our kids to war and use OUR tax money to support the USA.

NATO is not some “kitty” where countries pay in to the US. It’s an alliance not a syndicate. There is a small fee that countries pay for administrative work to be upheld (i can’t remember exact percentage).
You should clarify your position to indicate whether you are premising the so-called payment of EU NATO members to the U.S on Trump's recent demands in which he stated that he would encourage the enemies of EU NATO members to attack if the members had not paid, or if you are premising the so-called payment of EU NATO members to the U.S on a different basis which I'm personally not aware of.
Biden has not criticised the contributions of EU NATO members as far as I'm aware.
Also, the U.S has already made significant contributions to Ukraine, which isn't a NATO member but is still critical to Europe.
The U.S is obliged to continue this funding, and Trump is causing significant delays to this funding which is causing ensuing chaos.

Radek was very diplomatic about possible Trump's second presidency :)
Radek was also historically accurate that it was President Trump who sent lethal military equipment to Ukraine after Russia's two invasions and annexation in 2014. President Trump also provided military advisors to Ukraine. Biden withdrew these American Soldiers in 2022 before Russia's third invasion. This training is producing some of the best results on the battlefield in Ukraine. Additionally, President Trump pushed for critical military and civilian hierarchy changes from Soviet to Western leadership models and tactics. Biden's idea of supporting Ukraine was offering President Zelensky a ride out of Ukraine and delaying for months and years in some cases critical military equipment and ammo requested by Ukraine.

Please keep in mind that the US made a security promise to Ukraine in 1994, which the US has now broken because of a guy like Trump.

But we Germans are also to blame because we bought cheap Russian oil and gas for so long and thus financed the Russian military.

Dave is jealous that he is not in the spotlight 😅 unlike Radek Sikorsky with whom he used to be colleagues with in Oxford,body language speaks volumes 😅
I don't think they realise the extent of the threat from Putin. It just doesn't look to me like they get the seriousness of Putin.
My rozumiemy. Ale czy to coś zmienia ?
Treat that is created by america..... Russia is our neighbor ...
They get it. But they're professionals, it would serve no one to sit and panic. Also I can't speak for Germany, but in the UK there's no wavering, they know exactly what's the right thing to do, and how it impacts their own security.
Imagen Trump taking part in a discussion/interview like this. Him going into details and arguing his position. It would be short, ugly and dumb! And he might soon be potentially a central figure in all of this. Scary!
Probably. But at least he would look to end the war and not send your son to the front 😮
@@rokadaprliinnysystemyaczno4761 Putin is the one that must be placed in a position where he has no options but to end the war.
Exactly as it was last time he usurped power- when he spoke on geopolitics I cringed for Americans.
Great conversation but somehow with too repeated talks from Germany's foreign minister. To me, Annalena tapping on David Cameron's shoulder multiple time in a very friendly and emotional way was very strange.😊
Real statesmen, especially Cameron and Sikorski.
What an excellent discussion. Putin and his OCG isn’t just Europe’s problem. That can’t be stressed enough. Please, support Ukraine.
Why is Germany sending more armaments to Ukraine, including the long range Taurus missiles so Ukraine can defend itself?
Annalena Baerbock made a very strong point, we elect our politicians to lead, not to blindly follow a perceived 'will of the people'.
Yes, they must be accountable, but I think we've all seen the damage that populism leaves in its wake.
That's an alarming notion. Terrible.
This is why Germany's leaders led them to build pipelines to import Russian oil/ LNG sending Russian billions in Euros in profits. Profits that Russia with an economy as big as Spain used to produce the weapons and ammo destroying Ukraine and threatening Europe.
Kinda like the blind leading the blind off a cliff.
Annalena berbok is in a party "the greens" which have no more than 15% of support and falling, in my book this is not a democracy.
Ich halte Frau Baerbock für eine Eklektikerin. Das Führerprinzip war ein Grundpfeiler einer Partei mit der sich in Deutschland jeder Vergleich verbietet.
What is the point in having a detorent if you are afraid to use it.?
Deterrent
Very interesting and very informative conversation 👍 👏 👌...GOD BLESS FROM ALL OF IRELAND 🇮🇪 🙏
@Mr. Sikorski. I might possess a suspiciously attitude towards your political party. However, your performance here was truly awe-inspiring. Sharp, to the point - from the Polish perspective brilliant, maybe patriotic! Thank you!
Minsk agreement? What happened to it?
The same thing that happens with any agreement made with Russia-discarded the moment it is adventagous to Russia to do so.
Putin didnt really care for it......
It never worked
Radoslaw Sikorski! is the best MoFA of all NATO nations in EU.
Everyone should try to put themselves in Ukrainians place. Noone wants this to happen to their country. Therefore we should all help Ukraine and make sure to stop it together. Help each other to peace, prosperity and happiness.
They should have not shown the middle finger to Russia! If you poke the bear don’t expect me to fight the bear for you.
@@TheSereneWanderer87 the west miscalculated, Ukraine feel for the west’s BS. Ukraine should tell the to F off subs it should go and ask Russia very nicely for a good deal. If this continues, Ukraine will lose Odessa on top of the 4 provinces there Russia has annexed. This is my advice to Ukraine: stop while you are behind!
@@markmarcas6523 Russia is not a bear. It is cheap gas station which can not stand it does not own Eastern Europe anymore. What is Ukraine's sin? Being independent? Deciding on its own? Russia is not Ukraine's master.
@@markmarcas6523 poke the bear? I think you mean that russia is attacking Ukraine? With no honor bombarding civilian people, schools and houses.
@@Blanka1100Ukraine is lands are Russian read history and stop the nonsense.
20:13 Sikorski at his best ❤
Much Respect to Ukraine 🙏🏻🌠✨
Where's Victoria Nuland?
Hiding?

why EU allowed Russian oil sales to India, if not sanction India.
Because the west needs India to counter China 😂😂 West hypocrisy
India is a free country and decides for itself. The EU has nothing to say there, of course it can sanction India, but it is well advised not to do so, because the economy is going down, especially in Germany, and India will certainly give an answer.
That would certainly not improve future economic relations.
If you interpolate the current process, you see economical losses, which will destabilise existing political systems. This could easily trigger a big war in Europe, cos you cannot sustain power otherwise. It is a dangerous time.
Big thank to west for supporting Ukraine ✌️
just a few corrupt leaders in the west
I always liked Radeck, even when he was minister of defense in a previous government. His original answers about a european army was to create a european foreign legion. So integrated from day one.
Dammit. Aunty Baerbock is quite a load to be ashamed of. I feel so sorry for our German neighbors. 😢
in did good conversation. Europe united ✌
Our relation with China: China is our ancient friend, Neighbour, enemy, business partner, BRICS partner, SCO partner. Religiously, the two nations are very much related to Buddhism. We live side by side for thousands of years and the two great ancient civilizations on Earth. Only one time we fought with each other. This is a world record for the world.
We, Indians, keep all our doors open. So that any country may advise us on what to do and don't. But it is up to us to decide what option is appropriate for us and serve best our national interest as we are a sovereign country. We are not like Japan, South Korea or Germany, Historically China once had severe ties with Russia but India never left Russia. Our friendship has been steady since our Independence. The US and USSR made great contributions to the Chinese Revolution. So their relation is multi-dimensional. Common understanding cannot measure these. We are for business and global peace.
I share these wise words and think this is the way forward, Germany has unfortunately lost its way. However, I hope that a new government will leave the wrong path.
As a German, I feel shame when I see Bärbock speaking for our Country. The worst foreign minister in the last 75 years by far.

Please support Ukraine. i don't want to go fight in Europe. 😢
Baerbock is a joke 😂
AHHHH germany.....
terrified to act huh?
Wie erfreut und beglückt können die Deutschen über ihr "Aushängeschild" Baerbock sein?
Your glass is half empty without
US
It’s very funny for the German foreign minister to talk about the threat of the worldwide war..
Annalena you are wrong !!! Sanctions worked 🤡 Record loss for the Bundesbank
In 2023, the deficit will be almost 22 billion euros. The fact that all reserves are released does not result in a loss on the balance sheet. Commercial banks won.
So comforting to see and hear such unity amongst these stalwarts of NATO. World democracy will continue to survive and thrive as long as we have such leaders. No argument: Sikorski possesses a towering intellect.
Good loard u r well brainwash
There are lives in Palestine as well.UN
Annalena Warmonger: go fight in the frontlines and stop fueling war.
Putin fuels war
of course the US owes Ukraine big time for the folly of nuclear disarmament in 1994. Ukraine did warn it would leave the country vulnerable to a Russian invasion, but the US pressured Ukraine into giving all its nukes to Russia... But apart from that moral obligation it's in the US interest to support Ukraine to have Russia defeated thoroughly. 10 USD a month, which is the US assistance on per capita basis, isn't a high price to pay for avoiding sending US troops to fight Russia in Europe.
Sikorski right now is the best foreign minister in Europe.
That German 'foreign minister' is simply an embarrassment to Germany. She is completely out of her depth and has all the political nouse of an adolescent teenager!
So true. Just compare her to Sikorski
Anything of substance to add to your criticism or are you only going to throw insults like an "adolescent teenager"?
What to do that's how most germans are today
Dear Germany, how come a land of intelligent people can elect a foreign minister like Baerbock?
She's great FM
She wasn't elected. Her party formed a coalition with other parties and she was appointed (unfortunately).
