Paul Jay says while the Russian invasion of Ukraine is illegal, brutal, and unnecessary for Russian national security, it takes place within the context of U.S. aims to suppress the growth of potential regional powers like Iran and Russia. Russia was not incorporated into Western Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union because it could have challenged U.S. dominance in the region.

Jay has called Jacques Baud a Russian stooge and propagandist. The cognitive dissonance and social pressure must have been overwhelming. especially after years of fending against Russiagate hysteria to the detriment of his first media project. Jay has made himself irrelevant. There is no "two sides" and twisting yourself in knots to try and find everything within that kind of fake natural fake balanced framework is monumentally foolish and cowardly.

Paul Jay must be included in the top clear educated and fair minds on the planet on geopolitics

What Jay seems to misunderstand or not realize is, it's not up to Ukraine or Zelensky what happens, it's up to the U.S.. The U.S. successfully couped the democratically elected Ukrainian government in 2014, installed a puppet government and made Ukraine a client state of the U.S.. There was the Minsk Accords 1 & 2, that Ukraine agreed to, but failed to implement because of strong arming by the U.S.. Then there was another peace deal on the table on the eve of the invasion that Ukraine ignored, then there was another peace deal in April of 2022, which is when Boris Johnson flew to Ukraine and told Zelensky if he agreed to it, Ukraine wouldn't get anymore western assistance and he might not see his next birthday, and here we are.

A lot of Russian propaganda is here. There is Western propaganda but also Russian Putin propaganda. From the beginning of the Maidan uprising, hundreds of thousands of people were protesting and wanted to change the corrupt President, Putin' started his propaganda about the US coup. He obviously does not like popular uprisings. That popular uprising resulted in the president escaping to Russia. The popular uprising did not bring what people wanted, It brought another corrupt and nationalistic government, but was not a coup. The new elections were done very soon. Ukraine's capitalist class wanted to be part of the EU, not to be run by Putin or Russian oligarchs who had the appetite for Ukrainian resources. Minsk Accords failed because both sides did not respect the agreements. Russia never withdrew their army forces from Donbas. Stop repeating Putin's propaganda and his views on events in Ukraine. Plenty of independent views analysed those events, especially among Ukrainian and Russian leftists.

I don't know what the truth is in Ukraine. I'm only certain that whatever we're being told most of the time is carefully spun to promote a pro-US narrative. It's interesting to hear someone argue for a hands-off approach. I'm relatively certain that US involvement anywhere in the world is probably not good for whoever lives there, and it's further probably not good for most US citizens either. It's laughable for the US to criticize Russia or Israel's human rights abuses, as awful as they may be.

I don't know how legit Russia's elections are, but I do know Putin does well in independent polling. His approval rating now is like 85 percent with Russians.

All good until you start with the very Americanised talking points about Iran and Russia got bored after that as you just simply don't know muscj the people of those 2 countries

I wonder what's the largest country with a functioning democracy? Not just voting, but where the opinions of the masses actually influence govt.

Who is he to tell Ukrainians what they ought to do? Would he have said the same thing to any group fighting the US hegemony? Suspicious and wrong. I stand with Ukraine, just as I stand with Palestine. Sovereignty and freedom for ALL.

Jay fails to mention the fact that NATO wouldn't promise not to expand their borders into Ukraine. That's the reason for the war. This isn't my opinion - this is what Jens Stoltenberg said was the reason before the EU parliament.

Class analysis got its limitations and they clearly doesn't understand global power balance. And the main corrupt oligarchy in the world is the US. Not Russia or Ukraine.

As I recall the people of the Donbass asked the Russian's to intervene several times before Russia actually did. Putin initially didn't want to defend them but only later realized they had to.

When you say people of Donbas, which people? The majority of people are Ukrainians and Russians are just around 40%. Yes, they all speak Russian but the majority of people never wanted to be part of Russia. What Jay misrepresented about that worker uprising using the words of Kaligartsky, who also misrepresented those events, was that the worker uprising was very short and abused and used quickly by Russian nationalists and also very quickly we had an illegal Russian army coming to Donbas and plenty of Putin's propaganda in that area misrepresenting events in Ukraine and creating fear of Ukraine response and nazis coming to kill all Russians,

@@sandicirak6223 The Donbass asked the Russian's for help before the west's "little green men" nonsense started. But the coup d'état that installed Zelenskyy was a western regime change operation after all why was Victoria Nuland doing there passing out cash, 5 billion worth over how much time I don't know. In the meeting between Gorbachev and Reagan James Baker and this is verified by several people he said NATO would never move another inch towards Russia. If your word means nothing why should the Russian's believe what you say? Many people who are supposed to be Russia experts have no Russian friends or contacts. So how could you know Russia if you don't know their history, culture and current status. Well short answer you can't otherwise the west wouldn't have sanctioned them over 16,000 times. Believe it or not. I'm Ukrainian by heritage and wanted a completely neutral country that wouldn't join NATO or a bridge between Russia and the west not this nonsense by right wing crazies and psychopaths. This is American control on Russian's borders and a nuclear weapon's within 5 minutes of Moscow. I don't support nuclear war so why push it?

@~10:10, new boss, same as the old boss

But what about the Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory, this has helped to cement support amongst the Russian population?

Mostly, I agree with Paul Jay but I am very dissatisfied with this discussion. Both participants have big knowledge gaps. If they had read Putin's justification for the military intervention or if they had read the Minsk agreements they would know that there was not only the issue of Russian national security but also the discrimination and even the reign of terror against the ethnic Russian Ukrainians (about a third of Ukrainians) and a permanent shelling of the civilian population of the Donbas. Putin justified the Russian intervention with a large-scale Ukrainian attack on the Donbas Republics starting on February 16 and the expectation of genocide in the Donbas. In 2021 the Ukrainian parliament had passed a law that obliged the government to reconquer the Donbas. The aim of the CIA/Right Sector Coup in 2014 was not only to bring Ukraine into NATO (which the large majority of Ukrainians did not want, according to US polls) but also to provoke a Russian military intervention. This was assured by bringing the racist Russophobe Ukrainian NAZIs (Banderites) to power. Zelenski's advisor Aristovitch reported in an interview that the Americans promised NATO membership of Ukraine if it managed to provoke a Russian military attack. I suggest reading this paper by Jacques Baud: www.thepostil.com/the-hidden-truth-about-the-war-in-ukraine/ Baud was a member of the Swiss General Staff, an intelligence officer for Eastern Europe and worked for NATO and the UN. He was a member of the NATO observer mission in the Donbas. He wrote several books on the Ukraine war.

Isn’t it a tad to late to be asking, why the war started n could the war been prevented?

And he has no knowledge of the Russian people or Ukrainian people. The former have no political consciousness or will (in their society that assures survival). The latter have a political will for freedom and democracy and the mental means to practice them. They have also suffered under Russian-URSS genocidal repression, physical, linguistic and cultural, for centuries and do not want to live under that threat ever again. If their governments were corrupt, the actors were mainly assimilated into the Russian system and its mafia-style organization, and that's where they fled when the country revolted.
