👀🤷🏻‍♂️not many views on this. Shame. It’s a very relevant issue. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦✊🏻

[@fredkrissman6527]

Kudos for providing a forum for this brilliant mid-East analyst! I learned a lot about the quite fluid dynamics existing in 2 major areas of ongoing geopolitical conflict... Thanx

[@bron-sconcess.10]

From my UK perspective, this interview was helpful. I glean more patience and wisdom than expected in the Middle East, whilst as mentioned, the dynamics at play worldwide can and do at times, change rapidly. We should seek peace at all costs. War mongers should not win!

Thank you for this.”!

This enlightening interview looks at the bigger picture and helps understand how the Middle-Eastern players see the Russian-Ukrainian war - which is important with regard to creating wider alliances to support Ukraine's fight for sovereignty and also hopefully open avenues to a negotiated end of the war. Russia shouldn't get away with camouflaging its neo-imperialist ambitions by presenting itself as a friend of the Global South. So thank you for providing a better understanding of what is going on in two regions of the world which are more connected than it may seem.

Wuzzup guys 😁 howzit going. Great format thanks. Keep it up 👍

[@xtrajently]

Interesting presentation. I for one, see absolutely no similarity between Israel trying to defend itself and the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.

[@muteness]

ofc there is no similarity, Ukraine isnt subjugating other people.....

Good grief. Stop with the zooming. People are trying to listen to the first 30 secs FFS. Why distract them more? Otherwise good job.

I would have assumed the Arabs don't care... The language of the colonizers lol. Like how did Islam spread but by a sword.

First impression: the producer needs to go to a Production School .... my head is spinning constant zoom in/out/ change angles etc... We, in the Middle East sympathize with Ukrainians & many people support Russia (nothing to do with Ukrainians at all) but simply because the majority believe the US has been net negative in the ME..... many also see the hypocrisy of powerful western countries by advocating human rights, democracy etc... while Middle Eastern people witness their policies and suffer from it my heart goes to Ukrainians who are suffering atm.
