How the survival of modern Ukraine doomed Putin's 'Greater Russia' | Nick Lloyd

Putin's aim to recreate Russia's pre-1914 empire has floundered in Ukraine says Historian Nick Lloyd explaining the history of the Eastern Front in WW1 and its historical role in bringing about war in Ukraine.

A very good historian. He and Prit Butter have done much to shine light on this forgotten conflict.

Times radio you are a blatant instrument of power . Propagada kings

James as an interviewer goes from strength to strength. Interesting questions put to an interesting and knowledgeable guest. I hope the politicians are paying attention. Military men and the historians are all singing from the same song - Russia will not stop its current course of action until it is stopped.

The crescent of countries that border Russia are where the worst wars are fought.
The Geographer Mackinder and later Spykman describes this region as the Rimland that surrounds the Russian Heartland
Britain is mercifully in the outer Maritime crescent.
Petr Pavel Czech President seems to have started a COLLECTIVE SECURITY agreement that incorporates all the countries from Norway to Ukraine ....the Arctic to the Black Sea ...Scandanavia + Eastern Europe ..a new power bloc ?
Norway has $1, 626 BILLION in its wealth fund. Putin has 150 bn at most.

Putin is the most obsessed leader of any country since WW II. Obsessed by an assumed great Russia from the past, obsessed to be recognized as a global player, obsessed by Ukraine and obsessed about his legacy.

[kevantautsagae]

I'm still wondering what really necessitated this war!! barbarism or bullying???

[nickhtk]

Russia still coming to grips with loss of empire.

Ukrainian mentality give hope for all occupied states of the Russian “federation” . Push back a d stop feeding the Moscow octopus that gorges on the resources of its occupied territories

[srb]

Britain just cant get over the fact that it became an irrelevant peon of Washington. Britain lost the "great game", Russia prevailed.

[trmon]

What an Amazing individual, wish are politicians were half as intelligent as Nick Lloyd . He truly understand what are politicians can not it seems. Wish I could afford to send them his book.

-funny how Ukraine became a democracy and russia became a fascist state

[bsmwey]

Very interesting, especially comment about how russia cannot be great state without Ukraine shows very deep understanding by the speaker

[bmunson]

The difference between the Austro - Hungarian empire and the Russian empire, is that the constituent parts/subjugated peoples were approximately the same size as either the Austrians, or Hungarians, who themselves are different in language, ethnicity, etc.

The Russians were and are the largest single (by far) ethnic group in the Russian empire, then, and now.

You should put chapters in the video to make it easier to skip the intro.
