Interview Background: Julia Hartley-Brewer vs. Richard Tice
🎦 00:11-02:13⏩
Jonathan provides context for the upcoming interview, explaining that it features Julia Hartley-Brewer interviewing Richard Tice on Talk TV, a UK channel known for its right-wing slant. Jonathan expresses his general dislike for Hartley-Brewer but acknowledges that she excels in this particular interview.

She argues that wars end when one side is defeated, not through concessions to aggressors. Hartley-Brewer emphasizes that Russia's ambitions extend beyond Ukraine, suggesting that giving in to Putin's demands would only embolden him further.

🎦 04:45-06:22⏩
