Nataliya Bugayova Explains How Ukraine Can Still Win | Andrew Roberts | Hoover Institution

[@eoincathalkavanagh4226]

A wonderful talk. Great to see an insightful and courageous analyst from the eastern edge of European civilisation discussing with such fluidity these kind of strategic considerations. 👏👏 All the more so to see her holding her own with an eminent (and also eminently readable) historian from the West of the old European continent. It would be great to hear a discussion between Baron Roberts and a native historian residing in Ukraine the Baltic States or Poland on the oft misunderstood history of the eastern half of Europe. Conversations like this are part of the intellectual battle for the collective imagination of the West. They are in many ways as important as the battles in Kursk and Donbass regions today. This explains the multiple negative yet often anonymous comments to this video.... Indeed the Petersburg bots seem to be remarkably twitchy given the allegedly 'unstoppable' advances of the Russian army..... @HooverInstitution is there any initiative in the US to set up a fund for translating such books as the one Nataliya mentioned into English? There is a lot of great history writing from Ukraine Poland and elsewhere to be translated. Such an initiative would be an essential component of 'winning the peace' after Ukraine's victory. For Example the Polish and their allies won the battles against Moscow in the 1660s and also ultimately in 1920 yet they lost the subsequent peace. Lessons must be learned.

Who finances the Institute for the Study of War?

Natalia holds a Master's in Public Policy from Harvard University’s Kennedy School, and that shows. Thank you for making a good analytical framework this presentation is based on.

[@felixvandiggelen8731]

Institute for the Fantasies of War. Natalya Bugeyeova speaking.

[@taxofonas]

Thank you, very interesting talk!

[@0HOON0]

And Ukrainian lives.

[@firasbouhamdan9917]

Ukraine is the one who wants to fight back.

[@SlntFrtr]

Of course a woman with zero combat time or sense of military actions would hold this laughable line of thought.

[@felixvandiggelen8731]

Yes this is the Great Natalja Bugeyeova,specialist at the institute of war.

[@paulwooton4390]

It's more a question of how badly Ukraine will lose.

[@firasbouhamdan9917]

Another three days prediction for Ukraine? :)

[@Mahoneyyay]

With even more American money.. gimme a break

[@nryle]

Help me understand this view. I don't understand why it's so crazy for the US to spend money in the name of peace keeping? A primary role of our federal government is keeping us safe from foreign enemies. Is it that you want complete isolationism, or that you don't think that aiding Ukraine in its defensive war with Russia promotes a more peaceful world? Quickly to make the argument, if Russia were able to easily capture territory then it will continue the tactic. If they meet opposition from the native populations they invade then they will be deterred from future invasions. The amount of money is well within our national defense amount, perhaps it should be better budgeted, and maybe we need to root out tons of corruption, but that doesn't mean it's inherently wrong. I very much agree that Europe should be the head of this whole thing, but let's face it, Trump made progress with EU's NATO commitments, but they're not where they need to be yet.

[@sc3pt1c4L]

quick answer: they can't and they were never going to.

[@firasbouhamdan9917]

The afghans in the 80s and the chechens in 96 did it, so Ukraine easily can:)

[@sj4632]

Forget it...

[@SB-hy9iq]

It’s interesting how in the 80s there would be no question about us stoping the spread of communism and dictators under Reagan to now people becoming isolationists. Many people had this mindset about Germany prior to WW2. How soon people forget what happens when we allow dictators to take and take without answering to anyone and having absolutely zero accountability.

[@maejohannsebastian7142]

Dream on ...

[@arumatai]

They cannot. At best they can limit their losses.

[@Mike-jm5wt]

Russia will win because there is no price they aren't willing to pay, the West is not "all in" to use a poker term. Winning however will look a lot like losing for them, but Ukraine will pretty much cease to exist as an independent nation.

[@michaeltbarry2096]

Quite brilliant. Thank you. Zelenskyy should appeal to the Russian people: to pray for Ukrainians that God will give the Ukrainians strength and faith to forgive the Russians. *That* would be strategic. Appeal to who they say they are, and see how they respond.

[@jimpossidente5004]

It sounds like nonsense to me.

[@petrovicmotors3775]

In they DREAM!!!!!

[@captainahab9602]

‘Here’s how Bernie can still win’ vibes

[@hokroeger]

Hitler also believed that he "could still win", that there was a "Wunderwaffe" in development which would save Germany.

[@felixvandiggelen8731]

Natalja Bugeyeova knows!

[@firasbouhamdan9917]

Isn't putin the one playing the role of hitler in this analogy?:)

[@spyrosandreopoulos5922]

How Ukraine can still win? Let’s defeat Trump, for starters.

[@sc3pt1c4L]

I didn't hear her explain that USA has to keep piling in money because companies like Blackrock and Haliburton want their reconstruction and mineral extraction payouts.

[@johnowens5342]

The law was changed so foreigners could buy up land. Now that all those young men will not be around to occupy their native land, it's almost a moral issue that companies like Blackrock take control.

[@firasbouhamdan9917]

Americans support Ukraine:)

Whats this new comedy format ?
