After yesterday's events, I had to come back to these outstanding lectures, simply to say my congratulations on the new job as a newly-elected President of Finland. This lecture series was what convinced me that you are a thinker and a leader Finland needs at these times. Because of this series, you got my vote long before your campaign was announced.

With the exception of war fatigue, everything Stubb says here still applies.

If I had to choose one source for an informational overview of the Ukraine War, history and geopolitics, this man would be it. He is the adult in the room.

Two years later your conclusions and summaries ring more true than ever. Critics like to play the blame game after events are known and yet most were either silent or most plain wrong regarding their predictions. President Subb has shown both clarity and strong moral character in his analysis and guidance. The wild card, that Subb couldn’t have predicted is Trump, an antithesis of President Subb’s thoughtful moral beliefs. Let’s hope that both Trump and Putin stumble into history as forgotten, little men not worth remembering.

I am in the Justice camp for sure. No loss of Ukrainian territory! I'd rather starve and go hang out in a warm country over winter. My resilience pales in any case to the bravery of Ukrainians.

I, we in the Phillipines very much appreciate this series of conversation about the why, how and when this Russian Ukrianian conflict shall end, and what world order it shall spawn. I trust that you shall continue your lectures, Prof. Alexander Stubb, and thankj you.Good evening.

Once violence starts, War takes on a life of it’s own. We might be mistaken in thinking that we can control events, but rather, events will control us. The best thing to do in order to bring the War to an early end would be to exert the maximum effort to help Ukraine win. The incremental approach we have taken so far could turn out to be a grave mistake.

Hello Aleksander! As Ukrainian I want to thank you for the true! No one in Europe can understood the putin's ruzzia policy except their neighbors! Totally agree with your view!

This has been my weekly dose of level-headed discussion about world events. I am a bit sad about the break. Hopefully, we'll see Professor Stubb back soon.

I need a good laugh and this man provides me with that.

I’m really disappointed that this lecture series have no episode on Ukraine itself. It uncovers that there is really no knowledge on this country among European intellectuals, and politicians. As a consequence, no agency has still been recognized for Ukraine, after all what have happened and is still happening. However, thank you for this lecture series. It was very interesting to learn the European academic prospective on the war.
