Putin's offensive capability will be gone 'within a decade' | Peter Zeihan

"Russia is going to cease to have the ability to carry out an offensive military operation within the decade."

Putin is running out of time and allies as the west doubles down on shutting Russia out of the global economy and corruption erodes his military gains in Ukraine, Peter Zeihan tells Frontline on #timesradio

We were bombed this morning in the city of Dnipro, civilian residential areas were bombed, WHERE are the military targets within this city Mr Putin ??? your frontline is 60 miles away from here

As a British second generation Pole, I know the horrors of Stalinist Russia and its oppression of Poland until the late 80s. The moment I started listening to Peter, it was obvious that this guy knows intimately the Russian, its history and likely intentions. A geo-political expert in this field. Many thanks for the opportunity to hear him.

What I like about the lady Journal.
Ist here is that she allows the interview to Speak.
And she does not put her own spin on it.I think that's great reporting

[ezee]

I cannot find many places in US media that is as good at the Times Radio. Thank heavens for the internet.

[DMG]

I like how he described the EU attitude towards Orban. Completely on point. He is a corrupt little troll.

Great interview. As a Ukrainian American, I love to see a bright American speaking the truth

[ACD]

I just love the expression on Kate's face as Peter comes out with some of his more forthright statements!

[nicholasmason]

Brilliant Interview, fascinating and so well informed, so much better than other so-called news media. Thank you so much Kate, thank you Peter. Nicholas

Peter is incredibly well informed. As a Russian-speaking Ukrainian, I totally relate to every point made in this interview.

[Karl-Benny]

Every time Putin Threatens the use of Nukes you know they are Losing

[walterjohnson]

Kate is such a class act and Peter is a bit of fresh air so a great combination.

[tandrichter]

Excellent analyst.Intimate knowkedge about Russia and the risk it poses to Baltic states, Moldova, Romania. To be honest, Mark Galeotti's comments pale, in comparison. As a Brit that knows well the Eastern front of EU, I'd say his analysis was refreshing but particularly on cue.
Very few of your guests venture to talk about a strategy for the Eastern front, when in fact they are most affected. Much appreciated his long term vision for this part of Europe. Thank you

[chartphred]

Two of my favourite people chatting about geopolitical issues.
Great interview Kate.

[sanderdeboer]

The Netherlands just signed an agreement with Ukraine to deliver technology parts for drones plus 200 million euros for building the drones. While Ukraine will share their knowledge on drone building and how to integrate them in warfare.

[steelcross]

real questions from a real interviewer. Thanks to the Times. The real one.

[frOODAloops]

What are the other 8 conflicts by russia since 1989 alluded to by Pete? Is it: Chechnya, Transnistria, Georgia, Khazakstan, Crimea, ... Syria?

[zulubeatz]

I like Peter he is not always correct, but he is not scared to speak his mind even if it is not what people want to hear.

[edsteadham]

I daresay the Poles are serious about defense and have no illusions about Putin. If Putin tried to move toward Warsaw I think Poland will make him wish he hadn't.

[ronlevin]

I saw this video in my email and tried to look it up on YouTube and I cannot find it. I clicked the email link and I am watching it here, but it does not show up in my history even though I can click other videos and they show up. - Weird

It doesn't take a genius to see that, on its current trajectory, Ruzzia is doomed.
