How Putin's 'reckless' military strategy will be thwarted by US-Ukraine aid package | Michael Clarke

80% of the money loaned to Ukraine by the US stays in the US, ie used to create weapons and ammunition. Am I hearing this right?

Maybe one silver lining in regard to that six month delay in US funding is that this helped get the EU to step up their own funding.

Do people really pay for this ‘intelligence’?

When civilian "military analysts" talk about an air defence battery, it sounds as if they're referring to a single missile launcher. In actual fact, a battery is a unit comprising of a hundred soldiers with eight to twelve launchers.

I wonder if MTG is still gonna get paid in full or the Kremlin will want a refund.

We as Europeans really need to step up and take this seriously. We can’t (and shouldn’t) expect to rely forever on the American tax payer to defend us. This means putting our differences, both political and national, aside and coming together. We can easily out produce Russia, as long as we realise that there is a genuine threat.

Has Times Radio ever been right ??

Great interview and I appreciate our English bothers and sisters. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦!

I like how the interviewer doesn’t have to ask any questions cause the Professor knows the answer before the question is asked 😆! Love it

I love it "when they're having a bad day, they threaten nuclear war" 😂😂🤣😂🤣 that sums up the ruzzians 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂

Wait till he'll "explains" why this not happened, like with "counteroffensive" before...

God bless and protect the brave and valient people and soldiers of Ukraine all our prays are always with you night and day alf

This guy is a great commentator. No nonsense, no posturing, just brass tacks, on point, boilerplate analysis. The best I have received on the conflict so far.

🇬🇧 Mr Clarke 🇬🇧 is one of the most honest and well informed. He’s been legendary from the start of the invasion of Ukraine 🇺🇦

I don't know how Russia will cope they ran out of missiles 18 months ago

At one time russians were firing 60 000 artillery rounds a day, not 20 000.

We are a dysfunctional family politically in the US, aid is late, but most of us see Ukrainians as too valuable for the world to lose any more of.

I'm a Viet Nam veteran. If the U S has already provided $75 billion in military aid to Ukraine, the U S & NATO has not been successful in defeating Russia, what makes you magically think $60 Billion dollars U S aid will do the job?

Why is my country expected to fund this war when there’s almost 20 other countries between me and Ukraine. This war should have been done 2 years ago without our involvement.

Reading a lot of very uninformed comments sadly. Just to make it clear: The EU/individual European countries has given more money to support Ukraine than the US has. If we look per capita GNP spending, the US is down around 10th place on the list. The reason the US is so important in this, is because no matter how much money the EU throws at it, the US is the only western nation that has the military industrial complex to produce all this stuff so fast, as well as having large stockpiles that they can send off right this moment, whereas Europe is still in the process of setting up manufacturing plants for all this stuff. I keep reading again and again that "Europe shouldn't rely on the US". Let's make this clear: The US has specifically worked, FOR DECADES, to ensure that they would be the primary arms suppliers for Europe. They have actively worked to ensure that EU military spending happens in the US. Unsurprisingly, when the US then suddenly says "Yeah, no", then that creates a massive problem. Let me say it again: The European countries have given more aid to Ukraine than the US has, and per capita WAY more than the US has. The reason the US is so important, is that they're the ones who purposely built up a massive military industrial complex for exactly this situation.
