Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine | Fiona Hill

Fiona Hill is an British-American political scientist, former deputy assistant to the president and senior director for European and Russian affairs on the US National Security Council. The lecturer has a reputation as one of the world's best political scientists - specialists in Russia’s questions.
According to Gill, pre-revolutionary Russia is the birthplace of the ideology of terrorism. Her and Clifford Gaddy's book The Siberian Curse (2003) is considered as one of the most cited works among books and articles on Russia's development prospects published since the beginning of the century, as well as an economic analysis of modern Russia Energy.
Hill also testified publicly in Congress in the case of the impeachment of President Donald Trump, where she refuted the accusation of alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 US presidential election. After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Hill said she believed World War III had begun.

Absolutely excellent discussion. Fiona Hill is one of the sharpest mins on Russia

[@zpcossack]

Thank you for organizing this conversation. Very insightful questions from the host and commentary from Mrs. Hill

Fiona Hills Book ‘ Nothing for you here ‘ is one of the finest political books I’ve read . Highly recommend, please read if you can .

[@superassao2049]

She was amazing once again . Her offering help really touched me .

[@axlslak]

I appreciate the discussion and also as a Romanian I do appreciate our similarities over the years. Some of these empires you guys mentioned, we had to deal with them at one point or another in time. It's quite surprising we are still here, and nobody actually is saying we don't exist either.

[@mikesmovingimages]

The information analysis, what they're told & what they want to believe applies to all autocratic leadership's ? The ones that end up on the top of the greasy pole don't necessarily have to have a depth of intellect to get there ? Just the neck & opportunity & chance is enough ? 'Ruthlessness' ! fits the bill ?

[@sheikhrahman1991]

Ukraine provided the technology to construct the hull of the Chinese aircraft carrier. Earned credit that could be used to gain their moral/material support. Right?

[@glisteningwaters3312]

Yup! Putin struggles to escape the ancient past. Pray for his deliverance from the ancient ego's sinister prison. War is so ancient it's out of fashion and ridiculously pathetic!

1:10:43 I understand your frustration at India but look at from Indian Govt and Indian peoples point of view. Indian people, the citizenry is with Ukraine but the Indian Govt's hand are tied because of two major issues that the Govt has to deal with both related to its security. 1) India depends upon Russia for its defense needs, almost 60 to 65 % of equipment are Russian made, but it is coming down but slowly. The Indian defense still needs Russian spare parts, If Putin decides not to send in the spares , it will be music to Xi and ccps's ears and it may give xi jing ping new ideas. 2) To check mate china and their buddy pakistan or to keep them at bay we(India) need our defense sector and forces to be functional, prepared and ready at all times 24/7/365. This directly reinforces the point 1 above. If for any reason it becomes clear that we are out of Russian spares or "spark plugs" then china is going to test again as they did in Galwan, Himalayas in June 2020. India has helped Ukraine with lots of medical supplies, food stuff etc. So do not be judge mental or too critical of India. Look at India's neighborhood, we are in a dangerous one.

[@MINITMANRADIONETWORK]

She has stated that pre revolutionary Russia is the birthplace of terrorism.Kind of cheeky coming from a Brit,don't you think?

[@Rjsjrjsjrjsj]

Is that gentleman okay? Very jumpy. Hopefully just excited about his guest. 🤔

[@superassao2049]

He used zoom croma key background which makes the one in front ( ivan in this case ) look funny .

[@MINITMANRADIONETWORK]

Cocaine will do that.Look at the leadership in Kiev.

[@Rjsjrjsjrjsj]

@@MINITMANRADIONETWORK How about instead of trying to imply something you just make a statement? Like an adult. 🙄
