Biden said today that Ukrainian troops at the front line cheered, when the House passed the military aid bill. Apparently they had been watching the vote on the internet. This aid from the US is absolutely critical to their effort to drive back Putin's invasion of their beloved country.
They were waving American flags on the front yesterday. These are guys that are dying for THEIR country, flying a US flag. Anyone who thinks Ukrainians should be "more grateful," they feel every shred of US support, when it comes.
The West CANNOT let these guys down.
@billy2807 thank you for your comment. And compare Ukrainians with Afghans and Iraqis, the latter having received US training to the tune of billions to defend their own country, and scattered at the first sound of gunshot. Whereas the Ukrainians are fighting like tigers to defend their lands against difficult odds but with no intention of yielding. The Ukrainians are partners we can count on.

Well done Times Radio, another non biased interview. James is a good interviewer. 😊
You genuinely think TR is unbiased. 😬. My gods…
"non-biased"????? Please.
@@brianhammer5107 i dont think this is non biased channel. But there are many factual points noted. This is way better than general media shouting fear mongering. Is Ukraine lose this? Is Ukraine that? And now all general medias past 4 weeks fear mongering titles and videos are entirely garbage now with the inflow of new investments from UK, US, abd other nations
🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Unreal, the stupidity!
Unbiased interview, ???this guy is supposed to be American saying we can’t be counted on, um excuse me, ww2 , globalization where America literally sacrificed our economy so the rest of the world would become civilized and be included in industrialization, people forget that America allowed itself to be put in a more vulnerable position after ww2 and tried to rebuild countries, instead of doing what it could have, which is literally make the entire world American. So please quit with all this irrational bash America talk, your allowed to wine about how bad America is only because America has allowed it.
What a great explainer, i wish i had him as my Professor.
He's still only half right lol

Ok, just understand that his understanding of current events is skewed.
This man is really smart and clearly explains how thins go down. Respect the knowledge.
Great insight. Thank you both!

Yep this aid is the game changer unlike all the previous billions...
Ukrainians were making progress until their ammunition supply dried up.

Reasoned, cautious, informed analysis. Worth the 28 minutes.
I never watch this trash. I just read the sad comments. They reveal NOTHING.
It has also been credibly reported that Johnson met with a fellow Evangelical Christian, a Ukrainian man who had lost both his wife and daughter in the war. I suspect that hearing this man’s personal story brought it home. I am grateful to whoever thought of bringing them together, because seeing that his “brothers in Christ” are affected may have given him the moral backbone to stand up to the extremists.
Having a moral backbone only for fellow religious fanatics in Ukraine is no moral accomplishment at all. People were dying in Ukraine (and Russia, let's not omit) a long time before Johnson discovered his compassion for his fellow man. Because Mike Johnson is immoral.
Wow...
The extremists are the USA. They are the cause of most of the grief in the world.
Agreed, in fact there was a group of evangelists. I think that coupled with his daily intel' briefings flipped him.
I read that the Ukrainian also told him that Evangelicals were being tortured by the Russians.

They are also reporting pro-Ukraine UA-cam channels, with several being de-monetized or having their content taken down by UA-cam's blind algorithm

Oh yeah HOW? what a clown thing to say.
Did Putin really think this aid wouldn’t come? He must have know that the delay in aid was a window for him, at best.
''Window'' being the operative word.
@@philiplbrown and POLONIUM 👌🤣👍
If I had to say, given my knowledge of Putin, he likely WAS counting on it, but knew also he needed to plow forward with his aggression, which of course he has done. He uses every opportunity possible to work the situation. On many levels though, this is a significant defeat, it is NOT consistent with his narratives that Ukraine can't win, must compromise, there's inadequate support etc. Praise all that is good in the world!
Why do you think he has never deployed his best 300,000 plus troops and equipment? He doesn't trust NATO not to attack. He's being super slow and careful grinding down (very successfully) the Ukrainian army. Even the very pro Ukraine BBC now admits on it's website Ukraine losses are as much as 12 to 1 compared to Russian losses, figures that now back claims made by many independent news outlets who have been claiming this ratio for over 12 months.
Putin isn't bothered how much aid the US and EU give to Ukraine. One article stated $6billion worth of military weapons won't arrive in Ukraine for years. Russia would have won the war long before then!!
I am impressed. Scott has a mind of his own. And good questions here. He's correct in my own collective thought, understanding world affairs and their importance. I enjoyed it. I would enjoy more of it as this considers an important subject considering the world, communism, and world politics now and in the future. It matters, alot.

This guy knows what he is talking about. Very knowledgeable.
This interview with Scott Lukas is great. So much background fact & helpful interpretation of the politics that for so long meant necessary US aid was not on its way to Ukraine.
Thank you Scott for the very fascinating insights. I would like to see ramping up for the release of frozen Russian funds in Western banks to be given to Ukraine. There is estimated $300bl. Although the recent aid package is fantastic, how sustainable will continued aid be, given the politics in US? The US has identified targeting 6bl frozen US assets in the recent aid package. How do you see frozen Russian funds from European banks playing out?

Agreed
Everyone, especially US voters, can see who held up the vote to deliver that aid to Ukraine.
Your guest is spot-on about Marjie Taylor Green. NATO countries do need to spend 3% of their GDP, it is the right thing to do.
Mtg is 100% correct. The usa should not spend billions$ in another wasted war. Look what usa has done to iraq, afghanistan, libya.
Good job Putin. You got NATO to expand and take it more seriously
Trump must not become president again. I think most of the people have enough of him.

Good interview James. You always do a thorough job and are across your brief and the facts. Well done. 👍
I always listen to Scott Lucas.
This guy just shows how far away from understanding what Trump is all about that academia can be. He knows a lot, but understands nothing. You may like or dislike Trump, but he obviously does not understand Trump's goals.
Well, don't. Lucas does not understand American politics nor politicians nor people. Lucas, in his brief and erroneous explanation of the 'stalled' aid package, failed to even mention American's porous southern border. We Americans are desperate to close our southern border. Linking that action to the aid package was an act of desperation, meant to persuade the Democrats to finally secure the border. Only a small handful of Republican legislators failed to understand the serious implications of a Ukrainian loss to Russia. The American taxpayer has been protecting Europe for over 80 years and is about ready for Europe to start paying for its own defense. Professor Lucas correctly identifies the agreed 2% commitment for defense by European nations but makes light of the fact that some nations still do not contribute 2%. Well, if defense of Europe against Russian aggression requires 3% of each nation's budget, Europe better up it's 'ante'. Trump has never threatened to remove the US from NATO, but he has been rather firm about the other European nations paying what they agreed to pay. He's not even requiring those reprobate countries to pay up those amounts they are in arrears. I remind Mr. Lucas that there are thousands and thousands of young Americans in the flower of their youth, buried in cemeteries throughout Europe!
It's assumed the next aid of $75-100B will be needed by August/September as well as fresh troops (ukrainians are massively running from this nonsence.
1:42 he said leverage properly! This is an American that should be listened to!!!

One positive coming from the delay, Russian supply lines becoming vulnerable
Cost of operating the Russian army in Ukraine going up exponentially
Do you see big russian offensives driving into ukrainian territory? No you do not. But the whole line is moving forward isnt it? Good luck going after those supply lines man.
Europe go on a war footing out produce Russia don’t rely on the USA. Europe is rich enough to easily fund this defense themselves. Of course great if USA can too but it’s Europe problem they should get to fixing it
🤔
- Russia has a GDP of $2 trillion USD (and falling fast). The EU has a GDP of $19 trillion.
- Russia's war spending is on their inferior weapons systems. The EU is on much more effective weapons systems.
- Russians are terrible at logistics and riddled with corruption.
Those facts alone show the only tactic/hope Russia has is convincing the EU to do nothing.
There is no problem. Just idiots who want war.

568,931,510.00 Swiss Franc, which Sunak considers to be the highest in U.K. history. praises an unprecedented aid package for Ukraine and makes it a big deal.
16:15 "Avdiivka wasn't that important town". If it wasn't that important, why Russian forces couldn't conquer it for the past 10 years? If it wasn't that important, why the Ukrainian forces organized the retreat so badly? And so on.
It was important and not important for various reasons depending on the context.
@@toby9999 So, it was Schrödinger's town? How nice. But it doesn't do any favours to the speaker. Plus, next he tells about how "they [Ukrainian forces] knocked out another warship a few days ago... ...it was a recovery vessel". There is one issue: there are no proofs of it and it doesn't look really damaged on the published satellite images. No witness images/video => it most likely didn't happen or was exaggerated, so he just spreads propaganda.
Europe alone could kick Putin out if they really wanted to! They did get a wake up call, will they now fall back to sleep?
Doesn't matter if they fall back to sleep or not. Without a large and reliable source of oil and gas they can't mount any military action. Nothing they can do about that even if they try. No fossil fuels, no military. Ain't no electric tanks or trucks or planes out there folks.
At this point, russia could be invaded and lose land to Poland. That's what a joke the russian military is.
She is a chaos Congress woman who's primary job is to cause chaos.
@mtam7575 and how much did Moscow pay for this? this is how money talks and the paid mouth opens to talk about what is paid for!!and the kiss was given by a completely toothless mouth
I think the credit of “convincing” Trump should go to Poland and Japan. They know how to deal with him. The relationship has to be transactional based on realpolitik rather than ideological, because Trump doesn’t have any ideology.
Foreign governments just need to dangle real estate loans and development opportunities in front of Donald Trump.

I can’t find anywhere that Trump supported Ukraine aid before the Saturday vote on house or since. I think your guest needs to reveal his sources otherwise I am inclined to believe he produced this claim out of thin air. I hope he can
There is circumstantial evidence already in the public domain suggesting that Trump most likely changed his mind on Ukraine, albeit for self-serving reasons. It's unlikely you'll see the kind of proof you're hinting at. Trump doesn't work that way.
How about Hunter getting paid over a million bucks because he was an energy expert. This guy. I’m so done with times radio. They’re getting worse than the BBC. So biased.

On trump’s sudden shift, maybe someone was able to sweetalk him. Touched his ego as a businessman. But it really wouldnt have mattered because congress were planning on something that will make the whole thing happen with or without this sudden shift because Ukraine is in dire need of it. So they had no choice but shifted anyway to get a little credit that they did in time.
i mean i'm all for saying facts but please when talking about aide to Ukraine do not leave out Biden "you aint getting the billion unless you fire the prosecutor". I'm very glad Biden has been supporting Ukraine since but it could have easily gone a different way. I am very very happy the USA has, and continues to support Ukraine. The GOP still has some members which are on the right path, sadly not all. They need to do more internally. Europe must do more also in the range of 3-5% spending on defence. This should be driven by the EU on member states.

Excellent interview. I'm not sure that the Russians have a window of opportunity to attack Ukraine before the bulk of US military aid reaches the front lines. The Russians have lost a huge amount of material and manpower in achieving their modest gains over the last few months. I think they are at least depleted and spent as the Ukrainians.
$60.8 billion of US military aid will jump start the world-famous Great Ukrainian Counter-Offensive. You can do it Ukraine. Dont create another world-famous embarassment AGAIN. LOL

Hah! That is so interesting to hear that take on Duda. Great analysis.
I think the headline I read about it read like Poland was doing it to hedge their bets in 2024, which to be fair very likely could be as big of a factor, or at least more factors were mentioned in the body of the story that I didn't read, so I'm glad to get this information and see that perhaps we actually got a tangible benefit from it.
Though thinking on it further... So if the procedural votes were already scheduled by John (I'm presuming those facts based on what was said), it seems like he made that decision independently of Trump's switch.
So unless I'm missing something, what benefit is gained in terms of passing the bill?

As a guy who grew up during the Cold War, it is staggering to me that ANY American elected to Congress could be viewed by Russia as someone whose position they view as beneficial to their war effort. As a Republican myself, it's even more amazing that these individuals in Congress, that the Kremlin is gratified by, are Republicans! I'm old enough to remember when the Republicans were viewed as the hawks on national security and the Soviet Union/Russia. I thank my father in heaven that half the Republicans in Congress voted for this economic/military assistance package to Ukraine (and Israel and Taiwan). It is a tremendous relief that the USA still stands with our allies in Europe against the unmitigated evil that still resides in the Kremlin. Ukraine is clearly the most significant winner. America is a winner. So is Europe, so is the EU, and NATO and our entire Western culture is a winner. Perhaps not as obvious, however, is the fact that the Republican party is a winner. 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 🇹🇼 🇺🇳 🇪🇺
