Correct, in a strategic sense - but the back side of this over-reliance on the US is that European leaders (and their unelected viceroys, the EU commission) have reduced themselves to little more than cleaning-maids and spokespersons for the US and its excesses on the world stage. European leaders lack the freedom to talk to Moscow, Beijing etc truly on their own, with their own diplomatic and business resources and without having to "secure what we're saying" with Washington. The last thing the US would want to see is a mainland Europe whose leaders feel strong and confident enough to say a flat No to some of what the US is doing on the world stage, to refuse to help out with some American adventures, and even to criticize them (the Iraq war for example wasn't very popular in mainland Europe, but practically *no* European government made any official noises about it - the protests were all within civilian society, appeals in newspapers and reviews and so on, and the US can afford to ignore that kind)

You are viewing the situation very subjectively. No one mentions that it was NATO that was the first to violate all non-expansion agreements with Russia. Over all these decades Russia has not violated a single agreement with the West. NATO has been teasing Russia for many years with its actions, which they swore they would not take, and now everyone is wondering why the Russians are agressive. And let's not forget that Russia was ready to sign a peace treaty in April 2022. The West did not want to do that. Let's take this into account.

I would first like to ask what agreements "NATO" broke that it made with Russia. Don't bother mentioning the one time Gorbachev was given a verbal assurance that NATO soldiers wouldn't be stationed in East Germany regarding Reunification. I already am familiar with the usual Russian talking line originating from said misunderstanding, of which was never something regarding "NATO expansion" . No such treaty regarding the inclusions of East European nations into NATO exists, something that Gorbachev himself admits. There are however multiple accounts of Russian imperialism and blatant disregard for international law, such as when they recognised Ukraine as independent and their borders in 1991, or the 1994 Budapest Memorandum where Russia doubled on agreeing to and protecting Ukranian sovereignty. This is just against Ukraine by the way, and I've yet to mention Russia's soviet past. Current peace talks that Russia will only ever agree to will evidentially mean a Ukrainian defeat, as it would mean giving up your own territory permanently and being demilitarised, of which will undoubtedly make it perfect for overall annexation and the demolishing of Ukraine as a ntion

@@Intel-i7-9700k Russia has strategic depth and the ability to absorb attrition and take devastating losses without breaking. No war against Russia is ever going to be short if they're in it to win it. NATO's biggest mistake was giving Putin the moral high ground in Russia and actually in general if you really look at how everything happened. Russians support Putin because he hasn't even had to lie about the reasons for war. NATO has been actively instigating this all along. NATO was actively provoking Russia. NATO supported the 2014 coup, then continued backing the new puppet government even as it carried out atrocities against Russian civilians in the Donbas, indiscriminately bombing populated areas during the ongoing civil war. Russia tried to get an agreement. The borders obviously had to change. That land was full of Russians and Ukraine gave up the right to rule over them when it started bombing their cities, and kept bombing them for 8 years. Every day that Ukraine and NATO delay peace talks is another day of foolishness and madness by NATO's leaders. Russia is only going to keep winning more. Eventually they're going to want everything, plus extra from NATO. Their army isn't getting weakened. They're getting battle hardened. They're learning how to fight a real modern industrial war again, after the world spend 80 years forgetting following the end of WW2. They're years ahead of NATO. NATO doesn't know what it's like to fight a real war against an enemy that can fight back. NATO doesn't know what it's like to take a hit and bleed any more. NATO isn't prepared for hundreds of thousands or millions dead in a new war. NATO isn't even prepared to supply that many soldiers with bullets for more than a few weeks at best. Russia has at least 20 million men that can fight, and China has 200. This war will cost NATO at least millions dead, if not tens of millions or even more. Perhaps billions will die around the world before it's finished. Supply chains will break down. Fertilizer will get scarce. It already is a little. Pesticides and other agri chemicals too. It's going to get worse.

In the field it takes a nominal four soldiers to look after a wounded comrade. This is a probable explanation why Russian front line casualties are simply left to their own devices. The numbers available as combat troops are not substantially reduced. Then, if the Russjans lose ground, there is the added benefit of the Ukraine combat troops having to provide many troops to look after those Russian casualties. You must have wondered why wounded Russians combat troops are deserted by their fellows, and if a Russian wounded by a Ukrainian drone does not get the benefit of the Geneva Convention, and is delivered the Coup dé Grace? But to the most important ratio, as with most conventional armed land forces, to support one combat soldier on the front line takes a phenomenal number of support personnel and associated hardware. Some 95% of the total manpower is for support. Of those in actual combat zones only 5% are "manning the line" as it were. Two things - to me it seems Ukrainian Armed Forces are treated with honour and respect, if not cherished so one would expect exceptional support for combat troops. The other - check my statistics as I've been out of the game some time now and I'm not keen on going through a Citation process, and I'm sure some one will. Its called all care, but no responsibility.

You managed to talk for half an hour and failed to mention that the United Kingdom is second only to the United States in it's financial and military support to Ukraine and you also failed to mention the operation Steadfast Defender may have 32 nations attending but again the United Kingdom is supplying 60% of the man power and 47% of the military equipment. Facts matter and don't forget that a good many of the NATO members still don't spend the minimum 2% of their GDP on their military..... shameful.

Outside of the EU, they only mentioned the US in this segment. They also didn't mention any numbers about the make-up of the NATO training operation.

The few times I have seen Europe, North America, NATO actually move faster than frozen molasses was when people within go on strikes or protests in large enough numbers.

All that NATO had to do is honour their agreement not to expand to Russia's borders. But rather than respecting the agreement made in early 90s to freeze NATO expansion and invite Russia into the alliance, NATO chose to create ongoing conflict for over 30 years culminating in today's Ukraine war. Now we need to stop the war through negotiations and conciliation. If not?, EU future is bleak and will soften and destroy the economies of the West and open up a clear path for China to become an undisputed economic power house

If you notice the rethoric that Russia used throughout the war, there are like 15 reasons, and NATO is only one of them. At the start of the war, it was not about NATO, now they are making it look like it is about NATO, because they tell their citizens that they are fighting whole NATO in Ukraine, and not Ukraine by itself.

There is more to it than that. - No country in the EU will stoop to anything other than a fully robotic production line. Money. - Shells need to be of identical shape, size, weight, rigidity/impact strength but also of heat treating - maintaining shrinking and expanding of the steel in very tight specs. The rough shape of the shell is made with hot pressing (+forging?) - these machines are all huge and cost a pile of. Money. - Military production is not a constant process. It's very costly for an arms company to stay active even when no large contract is on schedule. Money For a decent capacity company, it would have to have a 120% load of work for the first year and 80 for at least 15 years to make everything profitable and to exit with no "bankruptcy" method involved.

If your country gets invaded and you can't find soldiers then you already lost . After japan attack the US some young men would kill themselves if they fail the recruitment exam. Canada with only 11 million people recruited 1.2 million fighters in ww2 and they were not even endanger of being invaded at anytime by Germany .

Last time Trump was President, he floated ending NATO support. At the time people in his cabinet were mostly non-MAGA Republicans and they talked him out of it. This time the MAGA's are mostly talking about massive capping of funding for NATO or pulling out altogether. It is a very real danger if Trump does what he and people like Marjorie-Taylor Greene are already saying and in a Trump Presidency second time around, it will be very heavily MAGA-centric so fewer people will be saying don't leave NATO and more will be agreeing with Trump and Taylor-Greene. Congress did approve a bill blocking leaving Nato in 2023 but bills can be changed when a new majority appears, so it is not necessarily a guarantee that pulling out of NATO will remain blocked - with a large enough majority in the house, Trump could just bring in a new bill and hey presto! US leaves NATO. This would really change the European theatre and massively embolden Putin.

First of all the so-called west is not directly at war with Russia. So the stakes aren't as high for them. Second, it's a political issue. Russia isn't exactly a free market economy. Private corporations are not above governments, as is the case in the west. Therefore, if ordered to produce ammunition they will do so, no questions asked. On the other hand, western corporations won't do that unless there's profit in that.

Lastly, I'll give my guesses on the matter. I do not agree with the statement that Russia is now weakened. The opposite is true. Russia is immensely strengthened by combat experience on the European battlefield. Russia tested its weapons and technology and at the same time learned how NATO weapons and technology work. No NATO country knows this and it is a huge handicap. Also, don't be like little children and understand that NATO's ammunition and weapons warehouses are empty. "With what" would NATO want to wage a possible war against Russia? Should I remind you of the high figures on the consumption of, for example, artillery ammunition? NATO is not enough to supply even Ukraine, and thus, the NATO armies are without the necessary amount of ammunition. In other words, within two weeks NATO would have to capitulate! Because it would find itself in the same and even worse situation than Ukraine. I understand the current feelings of individual actors "against the Russian resistance". They are afraid. And you will be afraid for the next several decades. That fear will destroy you even in peacetime. Because you can't afford the announced weaponry. Especially in Europe. The only ones who will be comfortable with this will be American arms companies. The European ones will be suppressed - including by the "unification of NATO weapons and ammunition". And this, plus other huge existing economic, economic, security and social problems, will destroy the entire EU and NATO. Not Russia. I think this real opinion of mine will burn you like fire. The truth is sometimes very uncomfortable. Especially for those of your "security experts" that you talk to, but they don't really understand anything and their answers to questions are laughable to those who, on the contrary, master these things.

Other arguments - trivial, unimportant things are introduced in the show. They deliberately avoided WHO guaranteed aid to Ukraine in the months of March-April 2022. It was British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who intervened on the Ukrainian president not to ratify the peace treaty negotiated on 28.3. 2022. Based on B. Johnson's promises, the Ukrainian president chose war with the Russian Federation. So now, when even in the studio, they are "looking for culprits", in a very unprofessional way, the main culprit has been "forgotten". The USA and the UK wanted war. They pushed Zelensky into war. So now let the USA and the UK be responsible for why Ukraine is "losing". Many "unknown clues" will be revealed. For example, in the fact that specific persons from the USA or the UK, not to mention the incompetent figures-puppets from the EU, had no real knowledge of what they were pushing Ukraine into. They knew nothing about Russia's capabilities. Thanks to their typical immense arrogance, they unleashed a huge war, which will have consequences for its planners from the USA, the UK and other henchmen, especially from the absolutely incompetent EU.
