Thanks
Kuleba is now urging their NATO/G7 allies to simply refuse recognition of Putin as the legitimate President of Russia. This is just the latest example of their PR campaign storytelling to cast this war as a personal feud: "the World (led by Zelensky and Blinken) against Putin" (and therefore, against the Russian people as his "herd") - much like WW2 was often described as a personal battle against the German Fuhrer and the 2003 war against Saddam. Jokers wild talk.
France has already denied it sent FL troops to Ukraine...
Biden is the worst president in the world....only Obama who has roots in my country comes close.
I'm sitting in my apartment in Krasnagorsk, Moscow watching this . What can i say as my heart sinks watching this posting. Like my wife and people I know here believe that Russia is fighting for its very survival. Can soldiers deployed from various Western countries say the same? Disgusting. As an ex British soldier it's laughable to send our troops to fight against Russia. In truth we haven't even got an army. Thanks Alexander for yet another great posting on your fantastic channel.

great brittain only has a smal contingent force. Not a proper army like russia indeed.
While Western politicians may be irresponsible enough to get into war with Russia, when their respective peoples realise what is happening, they will be restrained.
@@JosephBisio It is clear to everyone in Russia that the US and NATO are at war against them. The game of pretend only works in the west. Your "who invaded who" game is a farce.

It would seem the NATO regimes are not the sharpest tools in the shed, but you see, that's what they have been planning all along. They know they can't get themselves out of the mess they've created, and they know they can't pay their debts, so their only resort is to burn the world so that there is no one to collect, in the meantime the western warmongering politicians, the industrial military complex and their financial enablers will all be safe in their bunkers and in space while you and the rest of the world dies, and then they can come back many years later and rebuild the world to their liking. That's their plan. That's why they want to provoke Russia into WW III. It is up to the rest of the people of the world who do not want to die to bring all the NATO regimes' leaders to justice for all their crimes against humanity.

Force vs counter.-force, a basic strategic concept that seems to be difficult to handle for Americans and NATO fans who have never seen a ground war, and what it looks like, except the quick military promenades of the US against Panama in 1989 or Iraq in 2003 - so they tend to think that's how a ground war should normally play out. :) Also, so many discussions about the do's and don'ts of this war with NATO fans seem to boil down to "do you embrace the idea of the US as the one Global Sheriff with the unassailable right to impose his own laws, or do you not?".

Your very accurate and disturbing analysis is exactly what we all (Mearsheimer, Ritter, Sachs, et al.) were worried about back in 2022 - the West lashing out in desperation when it sees it is being defeated. For both sides, the war is existential, not "simply" political or territorial. The Western pathological hatred of Russia - less a modicum of rationality during the Cold War - is driving the conflict. This all is truly disturbing. In all my 79 years, having majored in international affairs, never have I seen anything like this. I think it is safe to say we now are approximating 1914 or 1939.

Sending troops under french flag, even if these are the freign legion, means France has declared war against Russia. Therefore, Russia is free to attack french troops even outside Ukraine. This would no be a Russian agression, but the reply to a french agression.
Doesn't work like that; sorry in a limited war like this. PRC and Russia sent troops to North Vietnam in the 1960's. USA didn't go attacking targets in PRC or USSR or USSR targets say in Cuba or Eastern Europe or the Middle East...The Russians might do some sabotage in Europe at arms factories (as they have done in the past), or military bases that would be about it.

[BRAVO, Hungary!] Hungary has no intention of extraditing Ukrainian citizens, as Kiev intensifies efforts to mobilize more troops for the army, Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjen has said. In recent weeks, the Ukrainian government has attempted to pressure its citizens who left the country, particularly those living in the EU, to return home, including by asking the bloc’s authorities to support this effort. Many EU members, however, have been reluctant to cooperate. Semjen told Hungarian broadcaster ATV on Monday that Budapest “would not extradite refugees to Ukraine.” “We do not investigate whether, according to the Ukrainians, the person is conscripted or not. Based on basic humanity, we will not allow them to be sent to their deaths.” “Every refugee from Ukraine is completely safe with us and receives all the help,” he added. - RT
For the western propaganda it must look absurd: Ukrainians flee in fact not before the Russians but before other Ukrainians: Azov , SBU and the nazi junta , which hunts them to be sacricifized in a false war against Russia.
Thankyou Alexander
This is reminiscent of the events in 1964 that led up to US military deployments to South Vietnam in 1965
They lost there too!
Of course, but the difference here is that the input of western weapons and oter support has already gone far beyond where it was for Vietnam in 1963-64. Ukraine's army already is a NATO trained, armed and assisted army, and actually much of it was so even before 2022.
Except that this is not South Vietnam.
And the end result will likely be the same.
@@louise_rose So that explains why Russia lost so much stuff than... or that somehow when we look at the loses suffered by Ukraine its all soviet stuff or Ukrainian. Very little western equipment showed up until 2023.
Utter madness, God help us all.
Angry black man who supports Russia no matter what? Russia is on the right side of history and has history on it's side.
Angry old white man here. You took the words out of my mouth.
So are you saying that a black man can be both angry and stupid at the same time Why do you think anyone cares ?
There really was no need to mention what colour you are was there?
@@FoodFestTelevision No it helps that he said he was black. Maybe he should check out how the Russians treat black Africans studying in the Russian Federation (RF) .... His eyes might be opened up.....
Absolute madness

Macron is a heartless figure. I saw him welcoming a foreign diplomat with a smile when close to him just a few meters away a young french soldier in historical uniform collapsed from an illness or heart attack and he Macron just ingnored it. One of so many omens that had happened. Another one was Angela Merkel shaking and trembling when standing next to Selensky while the german national anthem was played by the military.
I saw this video of the collapse of this French soldier Macron is so disgusting 🤮
@@akamarabawah9921he is 'babojebac', it's a pathology on its own.
@@hohnr2310 what does that mean? psycho?
what does that mean for merkel? why was she shaking?
Macron is demon... Speaks with forked tongue, not to be trusted ever... Merkel is unwell, guilty for the lies and her involvement in the Minsk agreements...
Good that Alex is back. I found myself suffering withdrawal symptoms yesterday with no broadcast.
Heroin would be less harmful, kid.
Isn't that the truth

❤😊UKRAINE IS COLLAPSING FAST
If it results in nuclear war though, everyone loses...
Oh honey ur oneliners are so cute
An Italian news agency defining "NATO red lines" is ludicrous. May God have mercy on our souls. Uncertainty is always a prelude to disaster and certainly not an adept understanding of Diplomacy.
Alexander, you truly are a gentleman and a scholar. A rare bird, these days. Thank you for your tireless efforts to keep us informed as these historical events unfold.
Well said.
People often forget that the US inherited the mess created by the French in the Indo-china War after the defeat of the French at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, which later morphed into Vietnam War.
Good luck to everyone, it's starting.
Godspeed to us all.

Easy to lose but not easy, if it's impossible, to beat the Mighty Russia which is fighting a war on its doorsteps against an enemy threatening to inflict a strategic defeat to it. Ukraine was meant to be a proxy to attack Russia, but it has turned out to be a Bermuda Triangle for the western equipment, mercenaries and NATO military advisors to disappear. NATO troops won't have any better future if they were to be officially deployed. That is my take of the overall all situations. God bless and protect Russia and its people.
Really this s what you have come up with genius?
It also 100% confirms Mr. Putin's point, NATO is always wanting to tear Russia apart.
Thank you, Alexander!
I enjoy these geopolitical analyses by Alex more than details of military maneuvers. There are a quite a few military channels but very few that explore current geopolitical machinations and faux pas.
Thank you for your great work, Alexander ❤
Under JFK the number of "advisors" in Vietnam reached 14,000.
Indeed. Yet he always gets a pass on Vietnam.
JFK was a peace President , he was pulling back the advisors in Vietnam , in 1962 he avoid together with Chroesjtsjov WW3
@@user-on5mf7fk3bHe got a pass alright, right through his gourd.
@@user-on5mf7fk3bnot from me. I had a go at him last week.
Just imagine the incredible depth of wisdom that 14,000 advisors can advise you on
Western money there's plenty, they can print more if needed. Weapons are a different matter, you can't improvise that, and you can't get weapons to Ukraine when there are none left to send.
the petrodollar ( fiat dollar), is being inflated away by war debts from recent wars. Inflation is actually a tax on the people and is one of the things undermining Bidens dwindling support amongst his base. The key linchpin (President signature of bills passed by the Uniparty House and Senate, *except for a minority in the House and Senate*). Biden will not win due to this (they won't be able to cheat enough to be believable by the people).
None left? The National Guard alone could supply Ukraine for three years. What a numpty you are!
Let’s all hope the reports of depleted arsenals are true and that this war has also demilitarized NATO.
There are 40 Blackhawk helicopters over in Afghanistan,,,, maybe “They”can get their hands on ???
They can print money, purchase a 3d printer and print weapons... Shells at least. Or they can hire an army of artists to draw a dozen of patriots... On huge billboards
Italy may well be advised to follow Africa's example and kick out the US bases and it nukes .
Yes, ditch the US now and save yourselves!
I have feared this situation everyday for the last two years
Me too.
Long live the Russian Federation ❤
Xi has went to France to tell them to stop sending or talking about sending troops to Ukraine.

Thanks you for your work. Greetings from Holland 🌷
You've heard of the two Sergeis. Here are the four Alexanders: Alexander the Great, Alexander Mercouris, Alexander Christoforou, Alexander Dougin.
❤😊THANK YOU FOR THE EARLY NEWS AND UPDATES
There is something soothing about Alexander's speech patterns, or may be it's just me.
Yes,it is calming and soothing indeed!
Yes, but only at 1.5 playback speed!
oh yes its brilliant......his voice is soothing
The French ambassador was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry building, and within just minutes of his departure, the French Foreign Ministry issued a statement confirming that France would not send any military forces to Ukraine,It seems that he was confronted with the information coming from Russia and what could happen to France
is this true? that'd be welcome news
@@frankdipadua7116The French and British ambassadors were indeed summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry in connection with bellicose rhetoric. The German ambassador would have been summoned as well, but he had left for Berlin the day before. Im not aware of consequences of these summonses.
@@Skelterer thanks for the update readout I got from Dima is they're trying to walk back some of the idiocy
Good news they are thinking correctly for a change
Italy calls for a truce in Ukraine and peace talks with Putin - Reuters “ The West mistakenly believed that its sanctions could stop Russian aggression, but it overestimated its economic influence in the world ,” the agency quotes the Italian Defense Minister. According to Guido Crosetto, the only way to resolve this crisis is to first achieve a truce and then peace.
How do we make the warmongers in US and Europe pay for the enormous destruction they have caused? Just think how bloodless this whole affair would have been if Russia had been allowed simply to remove the Zelensky regime. Ukraine is not a NATO member and it has not been in the interest of US or European taxpayers to wage war against Russia. So in my view, warmongers are liable to: 1) pay indemnities to the disabled and injured Russian and Ukrainian soldiers 2) pay indemnities to the families of dead Russian and Ukrainian soldiers 3) pay the reconstruction of destroyed Ukrainian infrastructure 4) pay for the cost of "sanctions" to both EU nations and the Russian Federation 5) pay the cost of military "aid" to Ukraine. It is unclear who is responsible for the bombing of Nord Stream II. But even if the Ukrainians were directly responsible, it wouldn't have happened without US/European aggression.
Connected american warmongers mongers are making money hand over fist paid 4 by american tax payer snd Ellensky Loan buy old American military eqpmnt 4 pennies on the dollar resell 2 Ukraine 4millions its a car wash operation😂😂😂😂😂😢😢😂😢
And pay with hard assets, not "Dollars" that can be created out of thin air. Time to find out what is really inside Fort Knox.
God is so gracious his wonders to perform. US and Europe have done a lot of damage to humanity especially to the black race that there is no way it can go unpunished. The stubbornness of there leaders compares only to the Biblically Pharaoh.... they all benefited from oppression they'll all pay for that sin.
"Just think how bloodless this whole affair would have been if Russia had been allowed simply to remove the Zelensky regime. " ...... Zelensky was elected president of UKRAINE WITH 70% + of The Vote in 2019....Also Putin had other plans for the Ukrainian state & lists of people he wanted to have arrested & actions planned amounting to snuffing out UA independence. A dictator sitting in Moscow should never have the ability to simply wipe out states he doesn't like,.. .What you figured pre-war like super-spy Putin that the Ukrainians would just not fight for their state ?? The world doesn't work that way and doesn't just comply with an isolated dictator's dreams of bringing back the Slavic core of the USSR...
I love listening to your analyses, thank you so much.
Your factual analysis is most appropriate and appreciated at this time.
Thank you Alexander.
Thanks for your analysis, Alexander!
That little corporal in France is going to get it handed to him
He was a cop(Macron)?
He is president of his country, that's not a corporal but a Supreme Commander 😆 FYI, France has a strong military, warships, Rafale modern fighters, even nukes. russia don't want them as an extra enemy.
@@bekeneel Understand. But trust me, France is no match for Russia, pounds for pound.

Russia must stand its ground, its existence depends on it,...many countries and citizens of the world would agree with Russia. Do not poke the Bear!!
I am watching you Mr. Mercouris , you are very independent expression from the west. Good to see such a positive voice within the western caucus. As columnist, not so regular ,but Would love to impart my opinion as well , whenever, you ask. Best wishes!

Great show Alexander! Really appreciated!

I personally hope that the west will seek another solution, rather than direct confrontation. This is ail advise, because Russia has countries willing to contribute troops to it forces, to contain the west aggression against the rest of the world.
Yes hope , but I would rather pray. There is not much brain in these people , who decide about our life.
French, UK, US troops in uniform, not disguised as volunteers? Please provide COORDINATES !!!
" BLACK BODYBAGS "
I would think,French POW paraded in full uniform in Moscow will be the outcome.
Je ne comprend pas la position de Macron d’aller en Ukraine nous avons 1 semaines de munitions !
Rodshild says
That will be plenty your french troops won’t be firing for very long
The French Foreign Legion should go straight to the Front Lines contact the Russian Military then join the Wagner Group as Macron has sent them as Cannon Fodder
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
God help us all.
Great program! Thank you for all your hard work!
According to reliable reports, one from Sergie Lebedev as noted in Borzzikman, a large contingent of French Foreign Legionaries were wiped out in Kharkiv by Russian Iskander missiles in the early hours of Sunday morning, May 5 along with large quantities of shells and other weaponry deliver last Thursday. This shows that the Russians are fully aware of their presence and movements.
There is the last few days not much progress on the front. Like the quiet before the storm
Вы серьезно ? А то что взяли две деревни, которые, открывают путь на Купянск, вы не считаете прогрессом ? Во вторых, вчера у православных пасха была, больших атакующих действий не было.
OR perhaps the quiet before the big fail with high losses....
Orthodox Easter is probably why quieter than usual
