Hi Tamara, I was struck by your reference to "our community". Understand that I am an American who is very pro-Ukraine and anti-Russian. How do you define your community? Is it referring to Ukrainian men and women who are using social media to support Ukraine's war effort?
@ I’m sorry , John, I only meant the English speaking community that is interested in cultural and political aspects of the russian war against Ukraine
One conscripted Syrian soldier said he was getting paid $40. a month and given food , the Assad government stopped giving food, hunger is an issue with soldiers?😅 Wave of meat Orc's warfare, denudes basic man power across working industrial complex! Oops! 💸 Putin dumb down the military complex out of fear of accountability for stealing and abuse of the legal system! He had more KGB (FSB) agents than military and conscripted he reduced training from 2 yrs to 1yr. (No time for real training!)
@13:20 You're very wrong about Russian strategic planning. Their psyops and disinfo communities are the epitome of strategic planning. They play the long game of fomenting social political revolutions measured in decades. They operate under the premise that the fringe eventually becomes the center, and if they can infiltrate, influence, and shape the fringe of society, then within 1-2 decades the ideas and worldviews they sede there will migrate to mainstream political discourse. They did exactly that with the US - started with the far left during the Cold War, expanded to the far right online fringe communities like 4chan in the internet age. In 2016 it came to fruition with the election of their puppet Trump as President. Don't underestimate Russian long-term strategy, don't be blind to it, and don't get complacent.
It's possible but considering what's happening in Georgia and how Ukraine gained independence, I would say that their intelligence game is ineffective.
Ukraine has a lot going for it, major untapped natural resources, a leading exporter of agricultural products, a highly educated technically savvy and innovative population. So the potential for western investment and profits is huge. Private investment will only take place if Ukraine's long term security is guaranteed. And as Ukraine becomes more prosperous it will be a major market for American companies. So if the idea of defending democracy and the rules based order doesn't thrill Donald Trump too much, maybe the idea of making a lot of money will.
I agree. The other thing a prosperous Ukraine will do is an indication to the people of Belarus and Russia of what their lives could be like. Perhaps with a change of leadership in their countries.
@@nigelgarrett7970 That's a good point. Of course it's exactly what Putin fears. It would be the end if him. Russia is already teetering on the brink of collapse, militarily severely weakened, economy in tatters. I just hope that Trump doesn't give Putin a lifeline by denying military aid and forcing Ukraine to accept a deal tantamount to defeat.
Disastrous overreach. Perfectly put. 140 million population. sort of second world petrostate that had pretty much destroyed its industrial base. Furthermore, the indexes of income ranges has outsize amounts going to the top 1 percent. Finally this ignores the pervasive large scale corruption and siphoning off of cash and depreciation of capital stock except in a few areas. BRICS? Outside huge amount of Russian Petro income, Brazil, for example, has a larger population, basic balance of payments w/o oil income, probably larger industrial base, a number of islands of economic production in addition to the huge size of San Paulo metro area 20-30 million, a profitable mid level commercial and civilian aircraft industry, some munitions plants. There is no conceivable reason to crank up Brazilian military to Russian levels, but if there were, Brazil could crank things up in a few years like the US in 1940. So how could Russia think it could successfully intervene all over the world.
I think Joseph Brodsky once said that Russia/USSR/Russian Empire (adjust the term to the right time) is like St. Petersburg, an impressive facade built on a swamp. Let's remember that the term "Potemkin village" was born there.
The question of our time "how is all going so wrong"...for all powers are suffering the same problems... China could well be next, or Iran ....or North Korea.....or Nigeria.....The Junta in Myanmar is about finished..
How about the farmers in Britain? Somehow or another we have ended up with an untrusted government. If we had a government we did trust there would be more hope and fewer problems in our country.
@@20chocsadayThe question I would ask you is this - why is the UK government untrusted? Has it been particularly worse than previous governments? Did previous governments look after the farmers any better, for example? Ignore Brexit for this question.
@nigelgarrett7970 I think it is partly because we expected more empathetic leadership from them despite the the rumours we heard about the then Leader of the Opposition from the conservatives. I know they were not specific about how they would govern, but when they immediately made excuses rather than explaining what we could, not must, do they began to alienate themselves. Of course, it might be that so few people bothered to vote they knew that a government would not have enough people behind them so they decided to use the whip rather than the carrot.
I'm reading Kotkin's excellent Stalin biography and there he suggests Russian expansion in the 19th century was driven by a sense of insecurity, which compelled them to drive their border further afield, but which itself generated even more Russian insecurity and a need to take the next place to protect what they had just won. And so on, all underpinned by a Russian belief that she was a great power - and needed to act like it, and prove it, to prevent undergoing the same colonisation as other non-great powers, such as China had experienced. Seems we are seeing the same process today. Of course, the 19th century 'great power' Russia became the defeated power after the Japanese war in 1905, leaving Russia near-bankrupt, chastised, and in ferment - which led to the eventual overthrow of the regime.

Lavrov’s has been in the Middle East today having crisis talks with Assad, Türkiye, Iran & Hezbollah. That’ll be a fun meeting with all of the above shrugging their shoulders at the situation. Currently the very organised opposition in Syria have advanced on Homs (cutting the main roads to Tartus & Latika), created revolt South of Damascus, cut all road connections with Iran and got a hands-off promise from Iraqi Shi community. Assad is surrounded, Hezbollah are decapitated, Iran can’t supply troops except by their decrepit air assets and the Russian helicopters are flying West to the coast away from the war zone. Quite a day.
You are wondering who helped freedom fighters in Siria. Turkey or Israel. But Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran blamed Ukraine for helping the freedom fighters in Siria
It's Oscar Jonsson. He's a researcher at the Swedish Defence University. His book "The Russian Understanding of War" came out in 2019 and, well, he would be a great guest on Silicon Curtain if you can get him.
Overseas investments more likely…..when you run an oil and gas company (country) you need to deal with competition blocking oil and gas pipelines from the Middle East to Europe sure Syria Romania! Turkey was always wanting a gas and oil hub I suppose they will get it now
Great Guest! I subscribed to iWi. I tend to see Russia as master of propaganda, techniques taught in their journalism schools in order to graduate. This is their most powerful weapon, amplified and tuned to different audiences. Considering Russia's target is dividing democracies where social media is open, this is achieved much more cheaply now, with the use of AI. So, if for instance "nuclear war threats" deter us from supporting Ukraine more fully, then maybe Russia doesn't see the need to spend rubles on superior high tech weaponry? They can just lie and project it's superior and they're ready to nuke any country any time, to ashes. Yet their test Sarmat RS-28 ICBM blew up in its silo recently? I don't think they are as great an army as they want us to believe.
Slavs cannot do long-term planning? That's a racist generalization, though I hope it wasn't meant that way. Btw, the Ukrainians are Slavs, too! They seem to have a long-term plan to sober up...
"Slavic mentality". You know slavs live outside russia too. Ukraina is slavic. Poland is slavic. What the hell are you talking about, Poles and Ukrainians don't make strategic long term decisions? This is just blatant ignorance. Stick to the subjects you know. It's NOT the war against slavs, it's the war against Neo-Soviet Governments!

So irritating this interviewee. And frankly she had nothing to say that is original. Maybe it’s lost in her inability to master the English manguage and control her nervous laughing. As usual Jonathan you make the most out of it and I commend you for your elegance. Zaza from California.
In sense I think Israelis have been super angry and have hated russians for a long time but they have kinda been in cordial / friendly relations with them because of other alliances in order to deter attack on Israel. Israel should poll those israelis who have ties to russia as in those whose families migrates from soviet union / russia to Israel about their sentiments toward russia. 🤷♂️

You do not advance Ukraine's cause by stating that Russia is endlessly incompetent - a realistic view of their strengths and advantages in comparison with Ukraine would be more interesting.
Yes, trashing most of the incoming US leadership in that annoying, giggly way is not really helpful to your country's situation or a good idea. Why don't you wait & see before commenting, so you are at least judging them on their performance & not on whether you simply like them or not.
Wishful thinking here; Russia just gets to focus more on strengthening it's East Med ports, leaving the Syrian desert to the U.S. Turks and the rebel rabble.
The rebel groups have taken Aleppo, Hama, and parts of Homs. That cuts the Syrian ports off from the rest of the country. If the Assad regime falls (and that is an if) those bases on the coast don't have a very Russian future.
@@Kardashian_merchant Have you heard the term JBTB? It stands for Jailed By The British. There are quite a few former world leaders who can put those letters after their names. The charges include terrorism. Didn't stop them becoming leaders of their countries.
@@nigelgarrett7970 The more significant thing that cuts the Syrian ports off from the rest of the country (desert) is a very difficult to deal with mountain range, between that and the Med' the ports are relatively easy for Russia to defend, if it decides it worth to doing so.
