Steven Moore might not give up hope for Ukraine if Trump is elected………but why take the chance!

[@18_rabbit]

that's exactly right! Overall re DJT, what ppl continue to fail to grasp is that the odds are not good for positive outcomes for many things, if he wins election: this is bcuz of what we saw in first term, where a combo of chaos, incompetence, savage sadistic unamerican cruelty like separating kids from parents without a system of any type to reconnect them later, KNOWING it would be nearly impossible to do so? that's what DJT gave us, an intentional sadism: If ppl think that he'd treat the actually poor Ukrainians well, ie a 'weaker' ppl/power in his eyes that were 'lil russians' in his mind (he married a Ukr or a Belarus btw, so he probably has his own condescending take on such matters), but the whole pt is that he sees humans as a hierarchical exploitative system, and that is what a lot of ppl do/think in life and it's a pathetic way of being. Add some sociopathy, and u get the new hard-right radicals. Centrists need to start friggin grasping what conservative middle aged and older white american males (which i am) are about: there IS resentment, there IS anger--and when confused and misdireted, u can get a hellscape.

i think that the point is that the 'America First' people --who i dislike utterly -- may be persuadable. This was news to me. I was in Washington in late April (right before the vote) with the Ukraine Action Summit; we were lobbying Congress at the same time Steven Moore was there, a very intense time. His take on Mike Johnson had a ring of truth. His access to Republican circles makes his perspective interesting, I've been tempted to despair over the prospect of 2nd Trump term and the implication for Ukraine. But in wartime, despair is an enemy. As an activist, it is valuable to me to have hope about a possible way through if things go badly in Novemeber.

[@millerwtf]

Steven Moore is a realist and has first hand experience and of course Jonathan must be the greatest host Britain has - he knows the topics to be discussed and is not out to make guest feel uncomfortable. America can walk away from the Ukranian conflict if , for instance, Trump is elected but until Kingdom come, American will be in a war or conflict as it's enemies will be taunting them relentlessly and the Military Industrial Complex will be churning out weapons and the taxpayer will HAVE to pay. America can decide not to be the "Policeman of the West" and become an isolationist country but then their present enemies will take over the rest of the world and "poof"!there goes the USA. Heaven forbid the stories about American states wanting to go independent never happens .

I find myself strongly disagreeing with this speaker a lot. The US vote for Ukraine aid SHOULD have been 100% in favor, because any rational assessment of the situation would lead a rational and ethical actor to make that determination. A representative who is not acting rationally is, frankly, not doing their job. The fact that many Americans are irrational isn't any kind of excuse for their representatives acting in irrational ways. It highlights how the problem lies on both the governmental and the population level, and it really makes me despair as to how we are going to move forward from this incredible lack of reason and ethics that seems so baked into our species.

[@vonries]

Very nice interview. That was a nice touch having your moderator send him a message to clear the background because of the distraction. Very professional in my opinion. The show was very informative. For me it's all about the children. Never forget all of the Russians who abused children and their families in Ukraine. From the mass graves (in Izium) to the stolen children. Now if Ukrainian parents don't become Russian citizens and go to flight against their brothers and cousins Russia will take their newborn children at birth. How many children are now sex slaves? They can not be allowed to win. Speaking of Izium. What did those 414 people see? The Russians thought it was better to murder them and bury them all in a mass grave instead of letting them testify. Whatever they saw must have been truly horrific. At minimum I'm guessing rape and torture. With an average of 150 war crime per day who knows. If Russia want's to sign a treaty they must first prove they will stand by one. If Russia or Putin wants to negotiate, start with your original written agreement. Putin on January 28, 2003 signed the boarder agreement. He's signed several agreements he doesn't honor. Pull back all of their troops back behind their original boarder and then you can start negotiations. If they don't show they will honor the original agreement how can you expect them to honor any further agreements. It's our war to lose. Russia can NOT win. Unless we choose to not support Ukraine of course. It is on us in the global West to pick the world we want to live in. Choose wisely. Thanks. Glory to Ukraine.

His focus on where accusations of people operating as russian propagandists are unfounded or reaching too far, rather than true by intent or not, is disappointing. He also weaves in some ahistorical talking points around moscow Mike Johnson and the blocked aid. Not sure if he sees what the modern GOP is, and what that means in our (possibly pre-WWIII) context. I think the blocked aid and political uncertainty in the West means everyone at all levels needs to prepare for worst outcomes, and work to prevent those. Organizations, agreements and networks that are resilient to what we face will leave us in a better place even if the worst doesn't come to pass.

I asked him this, and he thinks not. A weak Russia is not only in the interests of the west though - given the chance, it would likely attack more of its neighbours, but now is too strained to do that. The US policy of ‘holding back’ is much more likely from a fear of nuclear confrontation. That threat comes explicitly from Russia.

Stephen Moore brought interesting insight into US politics, very timely for sure. Especially interesting was his point of view that Trump's advisers could be swayed which he illustrated with some examples. Thanks for eye opening episode. Your interviews are invaluable!

[@18_rabbit]

yeah, his advisors 'could' be swayed, but the mere fact that there's sooooo sooo much instinctive lack of allignment w/ Ukr's interests on part of the hard-right that is DJT's ppl/team, is factually all we need to understand to know the probabilities of outcomes! These new-right americans are extreme in their views and are extremely distrustful (even paranoid) of ppl who dn't see reality as the do). So many ppl since 2016 remain in denial about who/what these new-right ppl are all about. They are revanchist types who are reactionary and reject everything that is uncomfortable to them and everything from the past. It creates a profound illogical path and attitudes that are plainly unamerican to most of us here in the U.S. A DJT admin would at minimum be at odds w/ at least 65% of the population, that's a stone cold fact that would play out if he wins. I would bet a lot of money on that. These new conservatives believe exactly like Pu -Tin does that international law is nonsense and that great powers should have control over smaller and neighboring countries. I'm not young, and i've met many conservatives of this hard-right bent, and they also, when loosened up, say with booze, will reveal that they think strong ppl should exploit weaker ppl. We all should know this by now. I've seen sooo many examples of this and how our personal lives are affected by such attitudes. The new hard-right cannot hide its ugly internals any longer, here in america.

Always enjoy your podcasts, thank you for everything you do for Ukraine. Slava Ukraine 🇬🇧💖🇺🇦

Is the US president as omnipotent as portrayed in the media ?- I think foreign policy is shaped by the Pentagon/CIA - only a small portion of the various inputs is in the public domain - the President is not the US government, I doubt if it will make very much difference who is President - in fact, Trump, lacking credibility, will be more likley to follow the Pentagon/CIA advice. We focus on the slowness of the arms supply ramp up - but note that ; if the policy is to force Russia to keep throwing men and materials into the guns and 'bleed them out' then it's working. A short decisive victory leaving the Russia millitary intact, with a lot of victimhood and vengence, it is the last thing anyone wants. Why the sudden change in Mike Johnson's opposition ? - because the Pentagon/CIA told them that it was time to start resupply. 'Bleeding out Russia' vs. loosing ground, is a fine balance.

[@cenccenc946]

good talk.

[@emikohanano1660]

Great conversation. I want to watch this again.

👍👍👍

[@teeguy100]

Strange Bedfellows. I know this guy is on the side of A victory for Ukraine but I seldom come in contact with such flippant operators. Obviously knows the levers of power and used them for good to get the 65b through. Good on him but Tim Scott? Come on man

[@betterdonotanswer]

1:00 Transcription of the best Muscovite journalism? There is no journalism neither in Muscovy nor among the Muscovite migrants in Europe, so instead of helping Ukraine this channel would spread Muscovite propaganda.

Why isn’t Jake Sullivan managing a chipotle? The same reason condoleeza rice stayed in position after 9/11. The Peter Principle.

[@marimagnusson3269]

Love to acquire more knowledge with your channel❤ But this guy gives too many excuses for Trump and the disgraceful republicans!

[@lsees5753]

Are you kidding? Trump visited Mike Johnson and gave the go ahead for Ukraine aide. That’s the reason it moved, not Johnson’s personal courage. This guy’s spin is crude, insulting, not a bit subtle.

[@MarkyMark6816]

Please America, stop Trump

[@NathansHVAC]

Waaaar much?

[@agh0x01]

While I appreciate the work Steven is doing for Ukraine, I think he's really far too sanguine about or is whitewashing the dangers of a 2nd Trump presidency.

[@Lawrence-f9f]

Point to Consequences : Mr. V. Orban was elected President of the 🇪🇺 . Whatever checks and balances for the integrity o f 🇺🇦 to remain sovereign are inforeced by it's member nations....So, the 🇺🇲 Congress can and will override the President of the United States when it comes to 🇺🇦's sovergnity.

"We are in a defacto World War, because China, Iran, North Korea and Russia are all working together and only our adversaries are behaving as if this is the case" to paraphrase. Exactly this. There is a pattern in play that suggests long-term planning for this scenario and plenty of evidence floating around western democracies these last 12 to 15 years, that we were always going to be here, that is in relation to events in our own countries that make us weaker (collectively as the west) in dealing with the reality we are facing. And yes that reality includes the highest risk of a nuclear war breaking out we have ever had. So the question is how to stop a worst case scenario?

Good to see a Republican view with a brain. What does he think of the ruZZian embassy plane next to il Muzzolini's? Moving boxes or is there more to it?

Great conversation with a great guest! Re the baffling position of Jake Sullivan as the head of the NSA. I get it now! Steve pointed out that he leads the NSA like the risk adverse lawyer he was trained to be. Bingo!
