This has been such a fascinating series! Thank you, from all sides this has been just so insightful.

If you're interested in continuing this series, I would like to see your views on the U.S., and how you think the polarization of U.S. politics will affect the war, especially if the Republicans win control of Congress and/or the White House over the next few years.

Interesting lecture series thus far. Fascinating to hear this perspective, impressive guy. Many questions come to mind but better to park them until the end of the series - ranging from geo-strategic to tactical in nature.

Great series, very clear, precise and thought-provoking. Would be excited to see more episodes on topics of Ukraine (the whole series is obviously very much about Ukraine, but still, it could be interesting to hear your observations of Ukrainian perspective). Also on the UK as it took the leading and unique role in supporting Ukraine. Thank you very much for your work!

Another insightfull video about the geopolitical we are going through. Cheers from Canada !

[richtenney]

Very thoroughly enjoying this. So great to hear an opinion that matches mine; that russia is an aggressor and even if Ukraine is a corrupt nation, putin must he stopped.

Thank You. For your entire series, I appreciated 1.) your format 2.) reference to outside resource eg Marti Kari 3.) a non North American view. Hope to hear more …🤠

[sharoncloete]

What a brilliant mind! Wow! Thank you Professor from South Africa 🇿🇦. I listened to all your lectures. So insightful. Please keep them coming

Thank you for offering Rana Mitter as a source of further reading on China as well as the other texts.

[sugarly]

Really appreciate this European assessment of china. I suggest reading some Lee Kuan Yew’s analysis of us china relations and the future of that relationship

[anastasiialucykyv]

Thank you, this is a very interesting set of lectures. However, I feel it unfair not to have a separate video about Ukraine, about its history, mentality and leadership. Like you treat Ukraine as an object, but not a subject in this war.

[simplexj]

A simply outstanding lecture series on the geopolitical subsumption of Russia's attack on Ukraine! Highly recommended.

[ianthesiow]

Great points. Your opinions are well justified and supported + balanced.

Keep up the great work.

[shook-puilee-martin]

Your analysis on China spot on. The government and its people have long memories and they know their history very well. This is a country with more than 5, 000 years of history of which its people are direct descendants from those 50 centuries ago. People are proud of its past but not imperialistic. Continuity is important, so does mutual respect. Hope you could do another episode and a longer one, to delve deeper into the many aspects briefly covered in this episode. Thank you

[johnhogan]

Absolutely the best round-up out there. Thank you Alex/EUI

[katympress]

Thanks Alex. I really enjoy listening to these lectures. Your appearance on Sky news bought me here

[johnspence]

Your students are lucky that you're willing to share your knowledge, insight, & experience with them. I know very little of Finland, & those that I've met were living in the US at the time. Thanks for posting these mini lectures & allowing an old man a small amount of continuing education.

I do wish I had your faith in the current generation. In the US, it seems that chasing diversity & fairness has unfortunately weakened what little moral character & strength Americans had.

[alexanderstubb]

Much appreciated. Work in progress. Right now crafting stuff on power in the 21st century.

[emesejohn]

What a delight, keep up the great work Alex! Much appreciated

[montieeveritt]

Fantastic lecture. Thank you for this mind opening world evaluation.
