Don't think the Chinese Commuists are not planning on the return of the Amur-Ussuri region, including Vladivostok, Russia took from it 1858-60.
The Russians know that the Chinese don't forget... and not just the Chinese.

China is drooling at the thought of a Russia breaking up - they are running out of water on the East side of China and would like access to those large Northern Russian rivers.
Stop projecting

Are you serious ? This war is just as much about the Russian people as it is.about that cellar dweller so dont tell them, " We don't have a problem with you , only Putins regime" no no no ! These sanctions better not get lifted for a long long long time!
stupidity... political correctiveness harming the truth...
Why are you still here? Go back to Donbas to fight for your country.
You are absolutely wrong with your assessment of the people of Russia. There are plenty of people in Russia who do not like or support Putin. But, they have little to no strength against their government because of how ruthless and cruel Putin and those that support him are. Also, hundreds of thousands of Russians that do not support Putin have already fled Russia. Then, there are the Russian fighters that are fighting against the Russian army because they wish to rid themselves of Putin. The bottom line is that not every Russian is evil.
U people arnt very smart
Ultimately, the purpose of the sanctions is to put pressure on the Russian economy and the regime, not the Russian people necessarily. But it goes hand in hand that the sanctions will affect the Russian people as well. Still, it is ridiculous to think that ALL the people of Russia support the war. Plenty of them don't. But, since they live under a dictatorship, they have no voice to speak up. Unfortunately for the good people of Russia. The ones that fully support Ukraine, they will always be judged as being evil simply because of them being from Russia.
It's not correct. Putin is there because of Russian culture and belief system. So even if Putin is gone, it will come a new Putin as long as the Russian aren't changed in the same way as Germany was 1945.
Nobody can be as bad as Putin.
Then there is no way of reaching a peaceful resolution, and we should no longer drag our feet.
Putin is small man ego
The secular West hates Christian Russia.
@@johno1104Wrong, it's Micron.
To a large extent I disagree with that ending statement: "We do not have a problem with Russia, we have a problem with Putin." What do you think is holding Putin in power, some kind of force field?!? He is held up by millions of people who are loyal to him, have been brianwashed for generations and will not accept a rational argument no matter how much you try. My take is that "We have a huge problem with Russian culture of feeling superior to smaller nations." This is part of the thinking of many Russian people, it needs to be changed and that is going to take generations...!
You nailed it! I guarantee you that Russians are taught in school that they won WWII; ignoring the Lend Lease program from the West, and the 150,000 airmen that died making sure that Russia only faced 300 Tiger Tanks and not 13,000. And look at the way they fight - just keep on sending those Meat Waves; Russians take a sick pride in the fact that they are just cannon fodder through sacrifice for the Motherland.
Like the Americans?
@@SickBastard69 That is a red herring. The OP's comment had nothing to do with Americans.

@@SickBastard69can you name one country that America has annexed?
The irony of Russia fearing a future of their own creation. Had they respected their own borders, refrained from invading its neighbours, their military power would have remained unkown and intact. Their economy would have continued to grow. Instead, they're distrusted worldwide. Their arms sales have collapsed. Their neighbours are building up their military capabilities. NATO is enlarged and considerably strengthed and their exports are contracting. Now China is rapidly emerging as the dominant partner. Putin has totally misjudged his strategic manoeuvres at immeasurable cost to Russia.
you dont have a cue lol

Mark Galeotti is the best expert that you can invite, finally an expert who doesn't state the obvious.
I completely disagree... My comment explains why and sits right above yours, if you're interested....
Just curious: Who says the obvious. And what is that. I want to hear.
I want someone who state the obvious. Where do I go?
Galeotti always talks in his superficial and I-know-it-all way. But what he says contains very little 'aha - that's why-knowledge'
From Putin s perspective, everything is about the west. The strength and dynamics of the West pose threats to the regime which is controlled by the Kremlin, and for these reasons, the power and influence of democratic states must be eroded. Instead of identifying solutions to the problems facing Russia, Putin prefers to export them. Therefore, if you can show (and contribute, openly or by less visible means) that the European Union faces many problems and its unity can be broken, that American democracy is not perfect and you can bring a Russian puppet as president, that neighbouring states are free to choose their partners only within limits agreed by the Kremlin, then you can show Russian society that the rest of the world is no better than Russia. In support of his theory, Timothy Snyder provides conclusive examples. Thus, to destabilise the European Union, the Kremlin ordered the bombing of Syria, which led to the creation of large waves of migrants ; funded the political forces that promoted Brexit; provided financial and political support to extremist formations in the EU Member States. To prevent the Western model of social organisation from advancing to Russia's borders, Putin invaded Ukraine. To strike at the foundations of American democracy, the Kremlin was involved in the 2016 US elections.
but the refugee flows were already flowing at maximum in Summer 2015 before Putin intervened to back up Assad end of september 2015, the refugees were actually fleeing the brutal civil war and the isis caliphate which had taken hold. Putin merely took advantage of the opening left by Obama's reluctance to intervene in Syria
Russia is threatened by success. Name one product made by Russia that you have bought.
I thought the russuans just had shovels
Absolutely correct - every dictator fears that eventually their citizenry will see the better lives of the people in the countries around them; and so they attack those surrounding countries.
No it's the meddling and machinations that is the problem.. Being such a stranger to any truth which is the problem.. Always been the problem
Russia has one thing that the Chinese wish for, lots of land....for agriculture.
And many, many minerals for its industry.
Water, water and.........water
@AnthonyOMulligan-yv9cg Indeed water, water, water, and other natural resources.
It is far more about the oil. South China Sea lanes account for 75% of China's oil. If it chooses to go to war as it tries to claim its neighbors' resources actually belong to China, that demand for oil goes way way up and those sea lanes get cut off. There is no good way for China to defend them. Russia is almost a pre-requisite for China if it wants to wage an imperialistic war, and the other autocrat that's been in power long enough for it to go to his head, Xi, shows every sign of wanting that. He needs the land path oil that can't be easily stopped. That means China has to either reclaim its 'Northern Territories' that Russia annexed from China in the 1800's (there are a lot of 'ethnic Chinese' there being discriminated against, they need protection, and the land is really historically Chinese anyway blah blah blah), or it needs a total stooge on par with Kadyrov or Lukashenko who will do China's bidding and give China those resources for peanuts without question. For now, Putin is proving a good little stooge for China, and the icing is he is both weakening Russia tremendously if China chooses to switch to option A of taking their land back, and also draining Western resources and bearing the brunt of the cost for Putin's war that benefits China more than Russia.
@froodtube Outer Manchuria did/does belong to China. Arguably, other areas do as well. They were stolen by Russian imperialists.
Mark is the man!
Great program with inciteful and knowledgeable guests, please do this format again for a longer program duration!!!
My feeling is that Galeotti is naive to suppose that somehow a post-Putin Russia will be significantly different from what pertains today. For several hundred years now Russia has had, despite the Bolshevik Revolution, a consistently authoritarian and at times totalitarian system which the population largely tolerates and enjoys. Russia is never Western enough to combine happily with the West and yet never Eastern enough to become compatible with China, North Korea etc. Whatever changes are introduced after Putin leaves they will neither be permanent nor sincere.
You're totalitarian yourselves all day long.. What are you talking about 😂?
@@bencarter1666 You cannot believe in free speech, individual rights, right to possess property, a justice system outside government control, freedom from arbitrary arrest, equality under the law and be a totalitarian so I guess that makes us non-totalitarian, all day long, and during the night times too! By contrast, the absence of those features qualifies Russia as a totalitarian state. Simples!

@@bencarter1666 You don't know very much about Russian history. The settlement of Siberia was brutal, and land was also taken from the Chinese. Russia (Catherine the Great, Peter the Great) has always wanted to be considered European. In the late 70's Breznev worried about the 'yellowing' of the Far Eastern lands, and also the decline of the % of Slavs, and not just Russians, but Ukr/BeloR too, compared to the Central Asians. They introduced measures to increase fertility, but only in the Russian lands. Russians remember the invasions of the Tatars and Mongols, as well as the Germans/French. If you really think China is allying with you because they like you, I have a bridge I can sell you. The Chinese never do anything, except for their own benefit.

The fact that Putin is blowing up key infrastructure in Ukraine with huge FAB1500 gps glide bombs shows just how hopeless the Russian Army are, there is no way that Putin doesn't want to inherit a well working Ukraine, if Ukraine surrender, he will rebuild all of this key infrastructure, this could be half a trillion dollar alone, but trying to do it without working power stations, water works and other civil engineering is really not in Putin's interest. I could have just said Putin is really struggling, like verge of losing struggling
Love the cat and mouse game Zalinsky is playing with numb nuts Putin.
Russia never rebuild what it have damaged or destroyet. They always steal if something to steal. And they only use themselves, if something cud still use somehow useful after war. That is typically russian way.

What is this guy talking about China is the largest help for Russia during this war. Russia would not be Abel to produce missiles and ammunition and tanks and all military equipment without Chinese help. I'm not sure this guy knows what he's talking about or is a Russian asset
Does that mean you're a western fascist by actual definition... I'm certain of that..
The "help" China gives Russia is completely to China's benefit. Desperate Putin is giving away Russia's resources for a song, and greatly weakening Russia in the process as well as making Russia entirely dependent on China. It is a great spot for China to be in. Continue to get cheap resources another few years while Putin decimates Russia, then take back the 'Northern Territories' Russia attacked and annexed from China in the 1800's. Putin is making Russia a bona fide 'Stupidpower' of a country.

Where do you get these people from?
The BBC and British Intelligence (!) has an endless supply of them. They haven't realised how much the World has changed in last 20 years.
Much of Russian thinking about its Western neighbors leans simply on the fact of its relative size of population and sees an advantage. When they apply this perspective to China, the Russians see a severe disadvantage for themselves. This is a legitimate basis for their having existential fears. Add the relative economic power to the equation and their fears are legitimately increased. Where Russia gets off the rails is insisting on an expanded jurisdiction through force rather than a more peaceful course of pursuing security through alliance. In this the Siloviki have concerns of being gradually assimilated by superior Western engineering and business skills. It's an ongoing problem of too many psychopathic brains stuck in their paradigm. Somehow European countries sort out their nationalisms and cultures and for the most part stay in the EU (hey Brits, starting to relate to a Russian concern?) An important carrot to hang out in front of Russia is that a more respectful relationship with Europe might provide a genuine counterweight to Chinese power. Sadly, Putin is unlikely to be the man that brings Russia to such a posture.

Read the Bible. The last prevailing empire is Iron (Russia) and Clay (literally China soft power). Both countries don't trust each other since the ancient history, they're different in character. Chinese see them the barbarian in the north. However, US and allies are pushing iron and clay to stick together. China is slowly tilted towards strategic military alliance with Russia in the long run. Daniel 2:41-43 (ASV) 41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43 And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay.

Very right in one way but totally wrong in another Russia wants to stand on 3 legs in ideal situation ( Arctic,Asia,Europe ) Only one leg ( Europe ) is broken and will not be repaired anytime soon So Russia can influence Europe only indirect via Africa and Middle East . So Russia will be more of an Asian country in future. And also an Islamic one with at least 30 million muslims in 2035
Hopefully Russia will have a new leader (of sorts) by then and be less autocratic.
And those Muslims will rebel
It could be but it is clearly not certain.Russian society is different from society in the West
Even a democratic Russia is a danger to Europe

@Paul-yh8km Poo-tin's built-up reserve since 2014 will be depleted eventually. Ronald Reagan told the C.I.A. that the Soviet Union couldn't possibly beat the U.S.A. in an all-out arms race because our Columbian economy was double that of the Soviet Union then. We had the all-out arms race but Reagan reined in his incendiary rhetorics with the Old Guard leaders of Bolshevik Communism dying like flies (70 years is the usual human lifespan so in the early 1980s the Soviet Union changed its leaders a few times very rapidly due to their deaths.) Gorbachev was from a new generation who wasn't there in the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.

What can happen to Russia and China's relationship eventually? The worst is that Russia's relationship with China will be like the Europe and USA relationship. Nothing really to make a big deal out of it. However, Russia can be a stronger ally for China because it has plenty of resources and a huge manufacturing base. For years the policy of the USA was to keep Russia and China as separate as possible. However, their clear mistake not only made the two closer than ever, but for the first time in history, Russia shifted the majority of its dealings from the West to the non-western part of the world. The idea that any leader in Russia will give up on Russian interests and submit to the USA is just a delusion and the only way to make such a thing happen is for the USA to install a poppet in Russia.

Yet a rus president will bend the knee to a chinese emperor...🤣🤣🤣🤣🫡
@@sababugs1125 Europe does not have enough resources to build up abruptly and fast. They need to buy many things and manufacturing is far more expensive for them than Russia or China. Today, most of the factories in Europe are assembly lines. in case of a conflict with China, everything should come from the US and they should cross their fingers hoping the Middle East cooperates with them. Britain is no longer an empire that could access resources across the world. the price for one 155mm shell had risen from 2,000 euros ($2,171) at the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion to 8,000 euros ($8,489.60). For comparison, the U.S. currently pays $3,000 for its most modern shells. Most of the production in Europe is by private companies. So the government doesn't have much control over it. The technological gaps between Russia, China, and Europe are not as big as you assume. As this war showed, the gaps are easily manageable by increasing the quantity of production. I don't talk about potential. I am talking about today's situation. Russia now has the most experienced army in the world as no country in the world was involved in such a war after WW2. EU military is badly broken and understaffed. They cannot even produce enough ammunition for the Ukraine. Not enough air defense missiles, not enough artillery shells, and even not enough bullets. Russia alone produces more than the collective West at this time. According to CNN, the artillery shell production is at least 3 times more and expanding.
@@rouz0 Europe is rich , they can buy a lot of resources , they're advanced so they can make more with less .

it is to Europe's benefit to have a good relationship with Russia but it is highly against the USA's interest. A Russia that is not a threat to the EU will make the whole NATO alliance obsolete. It makes Europe more independent from the USA and easier for them to say no. The US made this war for the sole purpose of stopping the improvement in the relationship between Russia and Europe and detaching Russia. Many of such policies have already been written and can be found in publications such as Rand Cooperation and Brooklin Institute. For Russia, Iran, china, and so on, different plans are laid out for how to drag these countries to war while emotional people have no clue about it and just see the tip of the iceberg and are unaware of the rest. Anyway USA hegemony appears that is finishing, similar to the British empire it will slowly and slowly melt away, but it will be accompanied by various conflicts and misery across the globe.

Btw the West/US have been constantly warned by all the eastern countries but simply where like the 3 apes: blind, def and mute. In my view it's not only putler and his regime, it's the whole country.
you understand nothing about politics, world affairs, and even Russia. Go after your life. it is to Europe's benefit to have a good relationship with Russia but it is highly against the USA's interest. A Russia that is not a threat to the EU will make the whole NATO alliance obsolete. It makes Europe more independent from the USA and easier for them to say no. The US made this war for the sole purpose of stopping the improvement in the relationship between Russia and Europe and detaching Russia. Many of such policies have already been written and can be found in publications such as Rand Cooperation and Brooklin Institute. For Russia, Iran, china, and so on, all different plans are laid out to how to drag these countries to war while emotional people like you have no clue about it and just see the tip of the iceberg and are unaware of the rest. Anyway USA hegemony appears that is finishing, similar to the British empire it will slowly and slowly melt away, but it will be accompanied by various conflicts and misery across the globe.
@@rouz0 if Russia wants to ally with Europe they can start by leaving Ukraine , Georgia and Moldova alone
@@sababugs1125 Why they should do it? It is their sphere of interest and security. And you clearly did not study enough to understand the full extent of planning by the US and how these sorts of conflicts are planned years in advance! You may think a war happened . but it is not true ! A war was planned and was supposed to happen. Of course, these countries can act as sovereign neutral countries but if their actions put the interest and security of Russia at risk, Russia will naturally react. The problem is the way that the USA and Europe are trying to divide the world. They use their economic power to attract other countries or pressure them to act based on their interest. The states do not assume the future is safe if such division is actively on the way. Why it should not be possible to live without diving the world to them and us and discriminating those who are not part of our group? Telling people who are part of us deserve a better life and we act against the interest of the rest? Practically, one does not need to be part of NATO or any security pack to be safe because international law gives permission to defend any country against the aggression of other countries when this aggression does not have any good reason.
@@rouz0 Russia pushed all 3 to the west with its imperialist policy . All 3 countries were neutral until Russia attacked them
@rouz0 Pax Columbiana has been great for peace and prosperity of the 亡國奴 (the "slaves" who lost their countries [to the Americans/Columbians]) as my Dad called them. He was talking about postwar Japan decades after he had been there with the occupying Americans. He didn't like the fact that the Chinese people didn't live any better than these so-called "Losers" when China was on the winning side in *BOTH* World Wars. There's nothing out of Africa's control preventing Africa to impose Pax Africana to foster peace and prosperity of African Nations in an analogous manner as the U.S.A. did for Germany and Japan.
