That threat go, it does seem like the fishermen in ireland are the only ones who are doing anything about it. this is what the head of the fissures organization told the local press, he said, quote, it is a bit funny that it is up to us, but we will take the opportunity to represent our fishermen at whatever level and whatever way we can. well today, two representatives from the russian -- irish fishermen the travel from court to dublin to meet with the russian ambassador. the meeting lasted a l...

Space for diplomacy it doesnt seem to be -- the russian government has really quite dismissed it so far. >> well, i cannot read putins mind. i wish i could. but if you look at the bidens reply to the initial proposals, clearly its a mixed bag. on the one hand the u.s. administration cannot promise a nonee enlargement of nato, it cannot make formal commitments, but on the other hand there are a couple of positive opportunities, maybe not game-changing opportunities but still important opportuniti...

>> its been the crossroads of civilization. its one of the earliest places youll see. its in a warm spot, a lot of fertile lands and rivers across there, much like the meopotamia and the tigris. but what i like to focus on is not necessarily what the foreign empires are doing, but the people themselves. for people to consider that there are victims of genocide in ukraine, as my friend spoke to you last week, not just of the stalin genocide against ukrainian people, but they were ethnically clean...

I would hope its not. i would hope it would happen -- in fact, it might even be logical to think that if there are displaced persons and they are moving in the direction of western europe to get out of ukraine, i am not sure russians would try to stop them. and if there was a requirement for a noncombatant evacuation operation even though we emptied out our embassy, we still have tons of american citizens in ukraine and if they became identified and we could locate em and the united states has t...

Declaration from ukraine and nato that says were not going to be expansive and when you look at a map of nato as it exists, existed in the 1980s and then with the acceleration post 1999 and 2004, russia is all those former buffer countries, buffer zone russia had with the soviet union they all belong to nato other than belarus and ukraine. that is why he wants to lock up ukraine. ukraine is the second largest country in europe. it is monstrous. he would love to have that under belly, that avenue...

Nato that says were not going to be expansive and when you look at a map of nato as it exists, existed back in the 1980s and then with the acceleration post 1999 and 2004, russia is, all those former buffer countries, buffer zone russia had with the soviet union, they all belong to nato, other than belarus, and ukraine. thats why he wants to kind of lock up ukraine and ukraines second largest country in europe. its monsterous and he would love to of that underbelly, that avenue of approach into ...

Huge amount of support from this audience and from the world. and dont forget, president putin has already essentially failed in the two things that he wanted to stop. he wanted to, you know, keep ukrainians having a high opinion of russia, and now that has plummeted with president putins new aggressive posture over the last several months. and he wanted ukrainians not to join e.u., nato, or anything like that. of course now the sentiment for ukrainians to join nato has skyrocketed since these p...

And therefore sort of more limited hold seems less likely and he is likely to go for what he views as that cultural capital of greater russia which is kyiv. and even then, how far does he want to go? from his calculus, potentially stopping if he can. this of course all depends on the morale, the ukrainian army and their reserves and willingness to resist, of course. but potentially his calculus is he wants to go beyond kyiv if he can and establish a buffer zone with the west of the country split...

Invasion, we are going to be in for the long haul, there is no way that ukrainians are not going to resist. —— we are going to be in for a long war. so, they have plenty waybill to have a go at the russians, what they need is western support, and i am sure in those circumstances we will give it, stopping short of fighting the russians ourselves. the sunday telea-rah, the russians ourselves. the sunday telegraph. jo. _ the russians ourselves. the sunday telegraph, jo, president _ the russians...

Belarus is essentially a vstate of russia, would love to establish the same type of relationship in ukraine and the countries we need to be concerned about are estonia, latvia, poland, hungary rorks mania. in 1999, three countries -- three additional countries joined nato. then over the course of the next 20-plus years beef gotten it up to 30. that includes slovakia, slovenia, et cetera. so weve got this great expansion from putins perspective, this is encroachment. this used to be my buffer zon...
