Clueless or Gaslighting take your pick! These so called experts.

[jaymacpherson]

I was with him until Dr. Ferguson said an “oil embargo should’ve been implemented immediately.“ So select EU nations should have simply decided to crash their economies with limited information? As to the US administration statements, yes some have been highly provocative…and when a bully is acting out, most often the most effective response is to stand up to them, and risk a fight. Sadly, Russia’s choice to invade has made the insanity of nuclear weapons all too clear.

.for the best answer just watch Professor John Mearsheimer of the university of chicago!

[billkramer]

ANOTHER narrator stuttering way too full of himself narrator! My God shut these guys up and let the guest speak 95% of time NOT the narrator!!!!

[caveman]

These guys just won't let go of their exeptionalism 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Academic with humility 🤦‍♂️
In order to win the war you need loads of money. West is bankrupt since the 80ties, and trillions in debt

[nateone]

Fukuyama has been consistently wrong, Mearshimer has been consistently correct.

[Utuber-hkxj]

I don't need to listen any further, academia is for the most part part of the problem. Which problem? Take your pick! They are paid handsomely for their contribution and this is why they are given freedom to publish their meanderings!

[caveman]

Glad watching this month after🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good old Henry was asking them to finish whatever they are doing within 2 months. How is young Winston doing?

[nateone]

Ukraine was bombing and shelling Russian civilians for 8 years before this conflict escalated. Ideologues not analysts

[jaketan]

Any rising power is a concern to the status quo. It happens to be from the far east in this era, namely China. It used to be Japan, Germany, Mongolians, etcetera. And then, maybe India, Brazil and any large and highly coordinated group of nations.

[Michaelbradysanjose]

Why are the fucking questions so long?

[jaketan]

Isn't Russian gas to Europe what Middle Eastern crude oil is to the US?

[Orsonu]

25m The Second Cokd War’s first hot war: “we’re at the most” risky phase — cf, the Cuban Middle Crisis. Indeed. Nearly a year later, as a war of attrition faces escalation, maybe more so.

[Conor_Rafferty]

Is this the usual old Neocon / Neolib charade?
Youtube autoplayed it after the latest video from "the Duran" (geopol) finished... funny that

[starlightlake]

Sorry but when did the articulation of the English Language become so degraded as to include 'um' and the variation ' erm' after less than a handful of words interspersed with 'sort of ' at regular intervals and needless repetition of words. This has become quite common now and does not reflect well on the knowledge of the speaker(s). It is very common now and very irritating to listen to and appears to be contagious when people talk to one another without awareness of their presentation.

[agnesbeckers]

Interesting observations. Surely a lot more interesting than the warmongering chatter with his bellicose US friends in Goodfellas!

[patriley]

To end the run of Russia's imperialist attacks on Ukraine, Europe must give hundreds of billions dollars more in weapons and supplies to the Ukranian leaders. Zelensky is a once in a lifetime heroic figure who can save Europe from Russian domination if given the tools.

[jasminealixandranorth]

Can't listen to the voice of John Bew - so affected, pedantic and grating.

[agarwalamit]

One needs to look at it from a long term perspective. This is a RACIAL war which can go on for years where the white Imperialist countries cannot come to terms with other countries prospering. The UN charter of fundamental human rights was created in 1948 but race segregation laws remained in effect until the late 1960s and several institutions across the US still have racial segregation in place. Most countries gained independence not because racism had ended but only because after WWII the west could not afford to maintain their colonies. What was the need for NATO after the collapse of the USSR? One only needs to look at the past of NATO with all these men such as Hans Speidel, Adolf Heusinger, Friedrich Guggenberger, Hennig Strumpell, Franz Josef Strauss. NATO is no longer a defensive alliance but an offensive military alliance and its scope is not just limited to NATO member countries but has interfered in countries such as Korea, Serbia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Libya, Bosnia and Herzegovina to name a few. Instead of being disbanded after the collapse of the USSR and being integrated into UN peacekeeping, it now has ulterior racist motives. NATO was supposed to limit its influence over just the North Atlantic and yet it has invaded and destroyed countries around the world. Moreover it is not a legitimate military alliance as it has no support from neither the United Nations nor the global south. The preamble to the NATO treaty clearly states its objectives of protecting the 'white race' and 'civilization'. Article 5 says that an attack on one is an attack on all and hence it also implies that an aggression by one NATO country is an aggression by all NATO countries and NATO strives for the racial hagemony of the whites around the world. Also there is no separate inventory of weapons and an army of NATO. So an aggression by any of the EU countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America should be considered as NATO aggression. USA and Ukraine are the only two countries who voted against the resolution, entitled "Combating Glorification Of Nazism, Neo-Nazism And Other Practices That Contribute To Fueling Contemporary Forms Of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, And Related Intolerance". The former leader of Azov, Andrew Biletsky had said in 2010 that the nation’s mission was to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade… against Semite-led Untermenschen [subhumans]” and NATO/EU have been supporting such forces in Ukraine. A solution to Ukraine will just buy some time before the west makes their next misadventure to destroy China to create a Christian white empire in the northern hemisphere and dominate the world and reinforce imperialism. If Russia and China fall, there are no other countries to protect the global south. Non-whites in EU/NATO countries are minorities and the most downtrodden communities and they can easily be wiped out. If a genocide could take place in the last century then it is more than possible in the near future. The white imperialist countries now use economic sanctions as a new weapon to freeze or seize foreign exchange and gold reserves of countries as these are normally held in banks of western countries.

It will have good ending, UA will be liberated
