I appreciate the comments about Poland and Baltic states! We have been affected by Russia in the past, and we know what it means to let them win, they must be stopped

[larssoderstrom]

The only relevant question here….Why not 2 years ago??

[michaelmazowiecki]

US gives the impression that it hopes that, by stalling on allowing Ukraine to properly defend itself, that would encourage Putin to reciprocate by ceasing his attacks on Ukraine. He has done the opposite, taking full advantage of said stalling again and again.

We in Europe have to understand
That we have to manage defense of Europe in our hands.

It was nonsensical to put any restrictions on Ukraine.

[Aaron-rwlv]

Great news but there should have never been restrictions!

[Puleczech]

Why do we keep playing Putin's game? We react to Russia's non-existent red lines, bluffs and black mail. We react to what Russia does first.

Great to hear from people who actually know what they are talking about. Thank you.

Excellent assessment of The War by your guest, Keir Giles. Please invite him more often:)

[OakleyMoodie]

Classic - America can be trusted to do the right thing....after they have tried everything else.

[kenhardy]

I could never understand why Russia can attack inside Ukraine killing innocent civilians and driving them from their homes but Ukraine can’t attack inside Russia.

[MarkCox]

This was an excellent interview! Well done and well said! A+++

[ahartify]

What about defending areas like Suny, for example. Why only Kharkiv? It makes no sense at call.

There’s no Queensbury Rules in war US 🥊

Another really good interview, thank you Kate, Times Radio, and your guest Keir Giles.

The Republican Party did NOT have "...its foot on the hose..." if one were to objectively investigate that situation in Congress. The Democrat Party is likely much more responsible for this.

Just watched to the intro. Almost two years ago I listened the book mentioned. It was one of the most interesting books I've read/listened to ever, and very eye opening. I thought I already knew the most important things (living in Finland, sharing a 1300 km long border with russia), but I still did not know how far the tentacles of russia reach the countries around the world. Highly recommended: Keir Giles: _Russia's war on everybody and what it means for you_ . Read / listen, it is worth the time and the money.

That transition from indoors surrounded by books to outdoors surround by plants was fairly seamless!

It's late but not too.late. The ruzzian threat is still there with troops and equipment massed near the border.

Why are we so concerned of what May or may not happen? Evil has no power over what’s the right and good. Prepare and be watchful but don’t let it control Your actions. Meanwhile people are dying needlessly…these lives are gone forever and the fear and desperation continues
