NATO's Infighting is the Biggest Threat to Ukraine

Ukraine's war defence against Putin's full-scale invasion relies significantly on consistent and generous NATO and Western support. However, the longer the Russia-Ukraine War continues, the more pressure it puts on European and US economies, as well as increasing socio-political polarisation and tensions. For some, the West's restraint is only weakening Ukraine and that NATO should 'give them everything', while to others, it'll never been enough.

In this part 1 of 2 l am joined my @VladVexler - fellow YouTuber and political commentator - to breakdown the rapidly and unpredictably unfolding events, with focus on the internal Russian psyche. We explore the political and military aspects of the conflict and potential risks and challenges faced by Ukraine. We debated the West's inconsistent support and Ukraine's geopolitical indispensability, and why the need for a clear conception of victory is reaffirmed. We then begin dissecting the limitations due to the deepening domestic challenges for EU members and US.

Thank you, Pyotr, for inviting Vlad. Thank you, Vlad, for your eloquence. Amazing.

Vlad has taught me so much this last couple of years. Really. And in the most refined and kind way. I highly recommend his channel.

As a Dutch/European, I am ashamed and frustrated by the fear politics of Biden and Scholz. I hear sounds around me that people are even turning away from the Americans and Germans. These sentiments will be even louder in Ukraine and many Eastern European countries. This will have negative consequences for the Americans and Germans in the future. After all, it is they who have abandoned freedom and democracy for their own fear, politics and selfishness for their own wallet.

[kemperdurand]

It’s a treat to see you two together! The best from Chicago. 💙💛

[JamesKerLindsay]

A great discussion. Always fascinating to hear Vlad’s view on Russia and the Ukraine War.

[golddigger]

This is absolutely amazing, you managed getting Vlad Vexler in your show (got so much respect for Vlad Vexler, his approach to world's biggest threats and...well, in general the man's ability to explain complex, multilayer stuff to average joe like me, is almost unparalleled)

Oh, almost missed - great host of course 😄👍

There's a 'nuclear' consequence to avoiding escalation. Vlad is one of the few who point this out. It's really a wash, IMO. We can't sit and let Russia continue on its present course. We need to let Ukraine defend itself and we need to give Ukraine what it needs to protect its airspace.

Perhaps a larger point is that Putin views the west's restraint as weakness; he'll take advantage of that.

[georgine]

I alway enjoy and appreciate Vlad’s views. I am a new subscriber to you, Pytor, and now I’m also a fan. Thank you both for your insight and deliberations.

[poobum]

yes, Vlad, a good commentator to bring in .. insightful

[calebdowns]

The best interview on Ukraine I have seen. Perfectly articulated advocacy for THE most important geopolitical issue of my lifetime

[jpoeng]

You’re getting some great guests lately!

[collinbillingsley]

I’m American and watched many vlogs since the war began (Ben Hodges, Bill Browder, and many other geopolitical, military, Putin & Russian experts) and these analyses on motivations and potential consequences across all significant entities has been exceptionally unbiased and the most informative by Mr. Vlad Vexler. Your questions were also spot om Mr. Kurzin. Thank you both very much!

[collinbillingsley]

If the threat of nuclear weapons use by Putin is low currently, this seems like the perfect timing to formulate the Ukraine and NATO strategy to completely liberate Ukraine to its 1991 international borders, especially for European and American security and stop hiding behind fear of Putin escalation?

[AlexLacorum-hfie]

I pity zelensky its a lesson learned for them and to the world. Never trust NATO and the US. Every nation should work for their defense.

[royhorologic]

Sometimes it's difficult to know what's more depressing; the war in Ukraine or the average intelligence of the comments on YT.

[liviadix]

Yes while I agree with you about the squabbling in NATO, I guess two of the main problems are Turkey’s and Hungary. What can be done about that?

[RAZR-]

Finally, an intelligent discuss. Well done.

[neil]

Excellent interview. Articulates the current state of play exactly. Thanks!
