Vlad... So nice to see you back in good form talking about Internal Russian structures and issues...
... you are at your best when you speak about what is closest to your heart... Your voice has weight with Slavic People...
... regarding Trump and western Politics... have faith that Democracies can work things out for the best... even while confusion reigns...
... Vlad... Ignore the confusion ... Focus on your bliss... have faith that good will prevail...
Vlad.you are of extreme value to my atrophied abilities of critical thinking.Your chats bring a plethora of questions to mind.Focusing, not on the Whats, but on the possible Whys,along with you sharing insightful sources, gives me a deeper understanding and perspective.Thank you.Godspeed on your journey.🌻
@@georgeanthony6767 excellent insight my friend.
I have only recently discovered Mr Vexler, and as an almost 43 years-old lifelong Australian who has no ancestral connection with the Slavic people (as far as I know without ever having had my DNA tested to reveal my ancestral heritage), and who became deeply concerned - and subsequently highly interested - in the history of Ukraine as a result of the full scale invasion of Russia, I am incredibly grateful to have discovered Mr Vexler's youtube channel.
I feel privileged to be a recipient of Mr Vexler's analysis, and I find him to be an inspiration especially after reading his "about" section of his webpage and learning of the adversity he, along with his family, has endured.
*YOU ARE LOOKING A LOT BETTER* I hope you are feeling a lot better...!
I’m not but grateful to have found space for this Chat!
Thank you so much Vlad for being able to get this information to chumps like me that would have totally missed this and giving your interesting assesment as always even with your helath issues - you are amazing and i hope you read this - thankyou - thankyou so much.
@@VladVexlerChat Do you, as an ME patient, believe a cure will be available in the future?
@eternalbattle1438 hopefully sooner rather than later, especially considering this brilliant man, Mr Vexler, might benefit from such a development.
@@eternalbattle1438Maybe once we understand what causes it, it's a very gray area right now.
Vlad, I'm a historian (European history) whom also suffers from ME/CFS. Being awake at night, and discovering a new video from you is always such a joy. I'm so glad you have the energy to make this kind of content, despite the universe working against you/us. Take care!
Wishing you great courage, strength and gracious blessings of positive energy my friend.
-from an Australian
You taunt and tease me with the promise of a good time.
I hope your health improves, Vlad. We need people who are adults in the room.
Thank you! Health really bad now. Doing everything I can to find moments like these to connect . . .
@@VladVexlerChat Dear Vlad, I understand that you have health issues, but I wouldn't have known about your health issues, if you hadn't told us. You look great and wise.
@@VladVexlerChat Hug
This community is so lucky to have you Vlad. Much love from Canada.💖
The algorithm call skit was great! 😅
Yes, the discussion brought value, as always. You are teaching us much about the intricacies of government and how people cope with authoritarianism. I see how important it is to stay vigilant and seek opportunities, even as individuals, to open conversation with the opposition. All this information may prove to be very valuable then.
Glad to see your health is improving. ❤
I’m 57 and a us navy veteran and gulf war battle ribbon. I sooo look forward to your succinct analysis of the news. Helping to parse the wheat from the chaff.
We are so fortunate to have you here, Vlad. VALUE! 💛💙
Always a good day to see a Vlad vlog…..will watch closely soon……just happy that Vlad is about.
Maybe its just my American narcissism but its depressing how many parallels there are between the US and Russia at the moment politically. Trying to stay positive. The restoration of the legitimacy of institutions is the only way forward
Seems like parallels but the two mindsets are polar opposites.
The more I learn about Putin and his regime, the more I see it too. (1) Every accusation is an admission. (2) Setting subordinates against each other through overlapping assignments/spheres of control and watching subordinates duke it out for control/his favor. (3) Loyalty valued over competency. (4) Nobody is allowed to be more popular, loved, or outshine the boss. There are traits and tactics of both Trump and Putin. I'm sure I can come up with more if I give it more reflection. Is it any wonder that MAGA also holds Putin in high regard?
(5) Capture of institutions including the church (Fundamentalist Christian church in the US with attacks on Church and State separation in the US...no separation in The Russian Federation). (6) "Only I can fix it" messaging. I quoted Trump here. No need for collaboration because Dear Leader hold all the solutions in his "great brain".
good to see others noticing this... I have been saying for years now, millions of Americans have much in common with Russians... both will accept any lie, deceit and corruption by their cult criminal leaders. both societies have much in common and it is becoming clearer each year.
Console yourself with this notion. Americans voted for an Orange Wrecking Ball because inflation reached around 8% for a few years. Russians can’t vote PooTin out even though inflation there is at 9% and shows absolutely no signs of abating.
Jake Broe showed a video of displaced Kursk residents appealing to Putin. I thought the grandfather who delivered the speech showed a liberation from the obstruction to normative thought. He was certainly focusing on how things should be. He also showed no concern for any suffering that has taken place since Feb 2022.
Yep. Seen that, heard that. "Population" is apolitic, elsewhere too. Greek called "idiotes" those who do not care the "deeds and things of the state" (maybe not precise quote). Only theri own "everydays". Population are not always citizens.
He was appealing, kindly, to Putin, pointing out injustice. This is because those villagers are on the verge of becoming homeless. villagers can't afford to live in cities and pay for apartments in cities, they weren't compensated correctly and pensions are literally scraps, they HAVE NO CHOICE. Plea for help or live in an igloo. RuZi life!
It amazes me how selfcentered Russian soldiers or civilians are. As if they did not start an unjust war and now they are just so very outraged that their lives don´t go on smoothly, them being the good guys turning to their wonderful leader to help them.
Excellent update on Putin's Russia
Vlad, without rose colored glasses, cup half full? Good to see you posting lots of thoughts.
Thank you for your constant work in support of better understanding
Indeed!
Thanks Vlad - these kinds of insights about developments within Russia are uncommon (at least in my social media “bubble”). They are appreciated.
The Trump presidency was exhausting and
it’s already exhausting to wait and see what
a second Trump presidency will bring.
might be some coping,
but so far, ive heard slightly positive expectations...
and the lame duck period of Biden...
Domestically, I am afraid (looking from Hungary) that Chaos in many domains is around the corner in the US. Foreign, and this topic: will see how strong his ties with putin are compared to his current interests. He may inadvertently cause positive outcomes. My problem with Biden/Sullivan : they were so cautious that they caused immense suffering by self-paralysis. By the same occasion weaking substantially US global stance. Blind /egoist action vs Over-tought inaction....Pick your favorite.
@ Trump entertained Hungary dictator Viktor Orban at Mar-a-Lago, last year 😠
Uncertainty can be exhausting. Focus on what is predicable, the elected people that are already engaged at making a difference and resistance. Be well.
@@mvjh2277 Maybe he needed to refill his kitchen's paprika stockpile, I know I buy kilos of the red powder, smoked and not! Conversations you're not invited to can go many ways, let's not paint an unreasonably grim picture yet. Know that many people meet with head of states, people whom aren't heads of states. People meet people. Focus on what you can do, change, influence. Be well. 💛
Vlad this chat was absolutely valuable, thank you for taking the time. Wishing you better health.
Btw the CIA said their check to you got lost in the mail and they'll try sending it again.
Thanks - it did bring value
Thank you Vlad. Take care.
It’s illuminating and depressing to watch the 1420 channel where the Russian public is interviewed- I hope this is not in store for the US..
The left have become very apathetic and are talking about what the point is after Trump's win... Authoritarians LOVE when a population thinks it can't change things 😑
Less than a decade ago I bought a gigantic audiobook course on the history of Russia which was supposed to also have a part about the present Putin regime. The last part about Putin was ridiculously useless. Here, in your two youtube channels, you provide everything I wanted to learn about Russia and Putin, and of course much more. Even when you are exhausted. Thank you and take care. ❤
Dear Vlad, so good to see you in seemingly better shape! Thank you for your insight and the work you are doing to keep us all informed. All the best for you and lots of love
This is why the chat channel is my favourite. Thought provoking. Thanks Vlad.
Yes your commentary is always of value.
Always value from time well spent with you Vlad. Thanks
Thank you, Vlad. This brought value to me. The jockeying for position and wealth preservation amongst the elite must be quite strong at the moment.
This was interesting.
Look after your health as you must be doing, it is always lovely to hear a "khello" from you.
Thank you, your insight is always valued and very educational, as this type of mindset is extraordinarily complexed to understand which makes it hard to come to terms with. I appreciate how you translate and describes things so succinctly, with your expertise is priceless. A big thank you and I hope you’re feeling better.
Hi Vlad, glad to see you are feeling up to a long chat. I saw your video when your were not feeling well and what that actually looks and feels like, great respect for all you do despite the difficulty. Excellent discussion as always.
LOTS a value! Thanks Vlad for this recap and revue of the dynamics as feed for and in the same time keep in check of our creative imagination. Best of everything from Hungary!
Terrifying words. Read to us like poetry. Yes it brought great value
Vlad is the best.
23:50 look how great Vlad is - the algorithm is calling him personally 🎉
And yes - this chat brought value to me
Thank you, wishing you an improvement with your health soon!!
you may have covered it in another post but did you get your channels re-monetized Vlad? And dont spend it all on soft drinks. You do know better Mr.Vexler.
😆 Cute!
Amazing value, thank you. It reminds me of the comments of a friend of mine, who has deep connections in the Russian business world, after the Salisbury poisonings. He said that he was hearing that this was much more about the succession to Putin than an act by Putin. Theresa May even alluded to same in the commons by suggesting that Putin had lost control of 'his' stock of Novichok.
I still don’t understand if Dr. Pepper’s power is weakening relative to Pepsi.
Excellent. These looks into what is happening inside are illuminating and rare.
Vlad definetly covers the topic in detail. Check out Sebastian Sas, Romanian guy, also does well regarding Ukraine and Russia. 👍
Thank you, Vlad. Knowledge is power. I am much comforted to know that you are in the world. Kind regards from Laguna Beach, CA, USA.
Vlade is the best!!!!!
Thank you, Vlad! Your conversations bring lots of value!
You always bring value. Thank you
Yes this was very helpful. Thank you for using your limited energy on this topic.
It brought much value, Vlad. :) Thank you!
Definite value. I'm looking at the text and feel inadequate, I can't read Russian! Yet I appreciate your feel of it, albeit a wonky translation and your feeling wonky yourself, at times... Maybe you feel all over the place yet I'll tell you this: my adhd goes out the window, even on your worst days, we connect, and I find this crucial. You make me eat things I could never remotely find palatable before you and make me want much more. Furthermore, I understand so much, I'm even able to connect it to all my previous experiences and projected ones as well, helping me to form a personal strategy; as opposed to a stragedy!
Definite value. Thank you! Rest well, you crazy diamond! 💛
Al Gorithm,, appreciates your work.
Good video. Thank you for your work.
thanks Vlad
You sound more coherent than I do at the moment (typing doesn't count). As to value, pearls of wisdom, surely. if only some of our leaders were capable of such humility, but maybe selection bias is against that...
Cheers and warm regards as always beautiful Vlad:)
Khello, present
Khello absent
Khello. Absent while being present.
Thank you. Gives me flashbacks to my university time, and I feel the joy of just doing my best to understand things again.
_Patriotic lawlessness_ is a perfect description of trump and his followers
What happens if Europe can't reach a concensus on what security guarantees to Ukraine mean? This thought makes me more worried than any temporal development on the front to be honest.
Even France & Germany refuse to commit to the idea of NATO membership for Ukraine, not to speak of Hungary..
First things first;
There is not even a consensus what the NATO article 5 security guarantee to other NATO member states means;
Ukraine had experience with western guarantees in the Budapest memorandum, so I highly doubt they will go for anything less than western forces on the border...
@@peka2478 Article 5 is the the sole reason why NATO exists.
Smaller groups of like minded countries having and looking forth at making treaties. North alliance, central alliance, Balkan alliance... and their projected collaboration and their processes. Could be a great thing and I think some of these are already on their way! Smaller, faster, better!
Is Cyprus a member of NATO? You can't become a member of of NATO with part of your territory under occupation.
@@stefansekulic7903 Look in front, you might otherwise hit your nose.
It bought value Vlad! I used to work as governor (tutor) for a family in the elite close to Putin. I hope they are doing ok…
Hello present! Thank you Vlad you are looking well
Lots of love, Vlad ❤
Vlad, wishing you abundance of health!!!
Thank you Vlad. Personally I think of the chat channel as a post graduate group. For your longtime followers it is highly informative, condensed and stretches the brain. The main channel is your showcase and attracts a different audience (obvs most of the chat followers also watch). Imo the main also helps attract those who are really interested in further deep analysis that happens here. That’s a Double Plus Good - how Orwellian! 😉 Lots of love my friend! ❤️
You always bring value
Exactly. When you are buying contemporary political philosophy in volume, your most economical choice is going to be Vlad Vexler.
Thank you, Vlad, for "translating" and contextualizing for us, very much appreciated. Lots of love to you and to the Beautiful Community. 🤗
Thanks. Stay safe and well.
Thank you for this and all your commentary.
The glasses really suit you and you're looking much better Vlad. Thank you for helping me figure out things as I navigate my journey through this incredibly complicated life❤
I admire you. Honest insightful commentary while struggling so much with your health.. I hope your health gets better. You really deserve it.
Wondered if you could cover what’s been going on in Abkhazia and if that’s linked at all to Putin and the weakening stability of Russia.
Excellent Vlad!!! So interesting!!!
Thanks Vlad for listening to your beautiful community and providing more long form content. Very much enjoyed your video.
Great analysis, thank you and a friend who shared this with me
Yes it brought value.
24:06 frame should become a meme
I cannot thank you enough for the work that you do.
We that cannot, owe you.
There is always value in hearing your grapple with things which for all of us remain uncertain. Thank you!
Always valuable, Mr Vexler.
On algorithmic content- I always feel like that’s what I’m getting with The Times’ coverage on this platform. Is that a correct hunch? I do not feel informed enough to know.
@@lkyuvsad Vlad has actually specifically called out their video thumbnails for being manipulative for the RUclips algorithm, so your hunch seems pretty good to me
Worthwhile and valuable! Thanks again and great to see your health gradually on the improve.
'Biological endgame' is a beautiful euphemism!
Wonderful insight.
Brought much value as always, Thanks Vlad.
Hello Vlad awesome job it did bring value! Waving from Canada be well!
Excellent video as always!
It is precisely for this balanced, responsible analysis that your contributions are so valuable. Thank you!
Thank you Vlad, your video much appricated. cheers ❤
Indeed soft drinks are my dark lord, Vlad
Very good analysis, and totally accurate. Thank you for this
Much love from the beautiful community!❤
Thank you Vlad!
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE, that a lawyer who would struggle with conveyancing work, was allowed to become a ridiculously incompetent US national security adviser and who, after getting it completely wrong for 33 months at the cost of thousands of lives, is not charged with criminal negligence??
Thanks
It did bring value. Thank you.
You are a wise soft voice in a maelstrom. I’m grateful.
Deeply interesting...thank you Vlad.
Thanks, Vlad!
Greatly appreciated 👍
Hey Vlad, thanks for sharing even while you aren't well. It's inspiring frankly, and im striving to do the same.
I hope that you are feeling much better!!! Thank you, dear Vlad! This has helped me to “feel” better those “tendencies”…
It brought value.
Excellent 👍🙏
Hello Vlad! Have a hug! xx 🎉
Thanks V, really stimulated by this one. The insight you help provide is a gift
24:15 I think the algorithm thinks that sarcasm is oh very clever, but the algorithm thinks if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. 👍
It can’t come fast enough
