I have one question and it is not about Ukraine/Russia. Did Krystal Ball’s parents have a sense of humour to name her ‘Krystal’
Thank God saagar is back. I hate that blonde hair lady
Saagar are u growing taller? The brick lines in the "decor" provides a point of comparison and your seat relative to the Krystal.
It's cute that Saagar thinks that China, Turkey, India and Russia weren't allies before Ukraine. Read a fucking book dude…..
If Ukraine actually ends up winning this war it will be interesting to see how these two continue to defend how wrong they've got this conflict the whole way through.
Looking backwards we now understand why Fiona Hill, Vindman and others turned on Trump. They knew what was at stake and wanted to be sure they got their cut.
John Mearsheimer has been saying exactly the same thing ( 3:24 ) since the conflict started.
If Russia can't have it… they'll wreck it. That's also exactly what the West are 'helping' Russia to do.
By making sure the conflict doesn't end. The continuation of the utter destruction of the country as a nation.
It'll wreck the countries infrastructure and scare away all of the intelligent Ukrainians into the West.
What will be left… will be near unfixable and filled with Ukrainians that like to kill things,
have lots of experience doing it and armed to the teeth.
Echoing that I like you guys, but you are wrong on Ukraine.
Get Julia Ioffe on the show to provide some real insight into the war and Putin specifically.
Saagar "Been wrong a lot but think thats fine." LOL Aren't you the ones who told us Russia wouldn't invade Ukraine?
Biden is destroying the US with this…. Ugh.
Congrats Saager ✌️
Where is this going to go other then world war 3 someone is getting nuked
ukraine is gone no matter what happens. almost all the young and middle aged men of ukraine have been killed. The ukranian people is in massive trouble. When the war is over ukraine owes america 100's of billions of dollars. Western business is going to flood mass immigration into ukraine to rebuild it. Also the end of ukraine.
Saagar totally sounds like Ron Swanson whenever he talks about Europe 'this is a filthy place and I hate it and all in it'…. ^^
Congratulations Saager!!!!!!!!
Biden Admin's pet phrase about giving aid to Ukraine is "As long as it takes." sounds all macho, but really quite open-ended. As long as it takes to…bloody russia's nose enuf? as long as it takes…to dry up USA support for the war at home? "as long as it takes"….to let us say "Hey, we gave them a lot of stuff, man!" meanwhile, it could also mean: as long as it takes to deplete our weapons stocks. "as long as it takes…to get in a hot war with russia and end the human experiment.
There is no way Ukraine is entering the EU with that level of damage
90% chance saager girlfriend is white
How does your stupid house metaphor fit with the Vietnamese and the taleban in Afghanistan? Fighting on home soil for your own country and family has always been a powerful Motivator!
I'm cured. This kid is a fuckin plank 🤣 .
Russia will face total defeat. It has very few well-trained soldiers left. It cannot long outlast the continued pressure being put upon it. Long live Ukraine forever.
Firstly, congratulations Saagar.
Secondly, it's interesting how the fog of war can result in such drastically differing analyses. Krystal and Saagar's assessment is that sanctions against Russia hasn't been effective at curtailing its industrial capacity whilst US stockpiles are dwindling to the point of affecting preparedness. Meanwhile, amateur analysts such as Perun's (who is Aussie, and thus whose biases would presumably veer towards wanting to preserve the US's capacity to pressure China) assessment is that sanctions have been effective, resulting in visibly poorer quality/poorer performing productions and Russia using up its deep stockpile of Soviet materiel (which once used, can't be easily replaced due to lost capacity since the fall of the USSR). Meanwhile, Perun opined that the materiel the US has been providing – barring ammunition – are equipment that the US military would never realistically use themselves without it leading to a scandal (due to their being old and drastically inferior than its current generation of equipment) while the large figures attached to them is due to US accounting practices that calculate them based on the cost of replacing said vehicle with a modern equivalent – as opposed to the vehicle's theoretical present value (which would be much lower due to depreciation and the passage of time since it was originally built).
Hey, Saagar! How was scuba diving in Lake Huron? We know you were there…don't try to lie to us! Did you find anything interesting?
Breaking Points team, please get on the right side of history. Regarding our domestic policies, you guys rock, but Ukraine… I get that you have to uphold your anti war principles, but when a nation is fighting for its survival like Ukraine, it's not a good look. We've abandoned Kurds and Iraqis while they are STILL imprisoning thousands of ISIS fighters. Glory to Ukraine!
Kim Iverson interviewed col Wilkerson who stated USA is aiming to collapse both Russia and China simultaneously , that elements in USA and NATO want a hot war with Russia and they are indifferent to the consequences. Americans always assume the evil people don't live in their country when it comes to geopolitics…regarding ammo col Douglas MacGregor raised this issue months ago, it's inexplicable that you don't interview the man or even col Wilkerson. He also raised the issue of manufacturing lead times for the high tech weaponry.
Problem is if the war hawks are saying it’s time to make peace because we can’t win. Putin might not want to negotiate because now his position is going to grow stronger.
So this seems kinda like when they told us the vaccine would prevent infection….. Then the goalposts were moved and it prevented spread….. then the goalposts were moved again and it prevented hospitalization
Ukraine never had a chance and the media has been flat out lying about everything about ukraine for over 6 years and this president has made money with his son off this entire situation. It should disgust every american.
my congratulations to you, Saagar.
Saagar if you can recommend where to get the good Saag Paneer I'm all ears
Congrats Saagar. Good fortune for you and your wife. But the Ukraine War sadly looks like it's going to end when the Ukrainians try to launch their attack and get massacred. The Russians outgun them 8-1 in artillery, the Ukrainian Air Force doesn't exist except for a small smattering of pilots and planes and helicopters hiding in Poland and Romania, and the Ukranians have lost over 150k troops according the Israeli Mossad while the Russians have only lost about 21k, and let's not forget that the Mossad is a far superior intelligence gathering agency than anything in the West, and NATO's armories are now barren while Russia is outpacing them in all factors. The war should have ended with the peace deal they made before NATO and the West killed it to give the neocon warpigs and the Military Industrial Complex their gallons of blood money.
I guess non paying members didn’t get the memo but from the few words Saagar got engaged in London. Sucker.
[2:40] – NATO will be united and our support for Ukraine will not waver.
Wait… Ukraine isn't a NATO country. Why is NATO basically de facto supplying Ukraine with tons of military assistance other than actual fighters?
It's funny how Biden talks about other world leaders as "HE"!
Saagar brings an excellent point. Ben Shapiro has been saying pretty loudly destroying that much of Russia’s military for our investment has been a really good deal. I agree with Saagar that depleting the west’s munitions is a valid China plan. Always wondered why we never heard of Russia disrupting Ukraine’s supply chain.
US foots 70% of the bill for Ukraine to join EU then what? They rip us off economically?
Wow, this is the first time I’m seeing one of you guys clips. I’m so glad you guys went to Joe Rogan for me to find this.😭😭, I listen to stay tune from time to time, but they don’t exactly have any serious news, I used to listen to #TYT I think that’s what they’re called🤮 when they report their stuff that shits, always one-sided😒, then again might be my fault,They never claim to be a news platform I don’t think🤔🤷🏾♂️. All I give a shit about is the news of WTF is going on, I DONT care too much about your opinion and what YOU think😠. #BreakingPoint. 😌 keep up the good work 🙂
I don't understand why these articles don't mention the fact that we would and have already started production on more ammo and such.
We're giving them a low percentage of our military expenditure. I don't get where they are getting their info from.
That analogy is missing a part. It is like somebody comes into your 10 bedroom house, squats 2 rooms. While they are destroying those 2 rooms and causing damage to the other 8 you are lopping off their feet and hands, trapping them into those two rooms and depleting their bank account.
Really??? C'mon man – Remnick is a deep state apologist (you must know that) The fatuous house metaphor has one fallacy – a rather important one. The homeowner was raping and killing the wreckers' relatives for 8 years before it all began. Gotta do better than that
It’s time for NATO to step in
On the world stage of international politics, Russia has shown it's ass. They lost the second it took longer than a week to secure the country.
🌎 UKRAINE MAP of the Soviet USSR in 1984 🌍 maybe Putin is just in a time machine — he's still using the map from 1984 🌏 Map of the USSR https://youtu.be/Hlb-HwxUxSU?t=66
Ok I’m sorry but Krystal, this dress🤩🤩
God, can Biden speak in a normal tone of voice? He sounds like the crazy old guy next door yelling at his cats. Then on the other side of the house there's delusional Trump lecturing the birds at the feeder about what a great leader he is. We are in crazytown.
China values stability. I am not convinced they’re going to rush to give Russia arms because they know that will result in escalation and more disruption for them and their people.
Sure they’re annoyed with the US over the balloon stuff and over Nancy Pelosi visiting Taiwan but clearly not enough to support any sorts of kinetic warfare.
Russia is winning and always was . Stop lying you two
Putin has shown himself to be completely unreliable in past negotiations going back 20 years. This hasn't changed. So what is a negotiation going to do with this man? He buys time and attacks them again with a larger force?
