Pepe Escobar: Putin’s Bold Reply to the U.S.

[eerieforest]

Russia has no reason at all to ceasefire anything. They need to increase their intensity.

[lukeboshier]

How does America get to act as negotiator for a war they started and funded, and lost

[robertsmith-vxof]

That moment you realize a ceasefire is a strategy of war when you are losing your ass....😂

[DavidGreenwood-nudd]

Pepe understands very well the vileness of our British ruling class.Class hatred in Britain is intense, and getting worse.

[MousieBrown]

"Minsk-3 in Drag!" EXCELLENT & accurate description! Not fooling anyone, either.

[tjcint]

Pepe Escobar is brilliant. Clear-eyed and brilliant.

Nato should have been disbanded years ago, we dont want as europeans to be a buffer zone for the yanks.the less area of the world america has i fluence over, the better.

[doonn]

"When the Soviet Union collapsed and the Berlin Wall came down, NATO no longer had any reason to exist. It could have dissolved in 1995 and the dismantling of NATO would go hand in hand with the dismantling of the Warsaw Pact. Today, these same Warsaw Pact countries are all members of NATO and have no other goal than to harm Russia."

Russia is too sophisticated and expert to be impressed by haphazard western amateurish antics.

[TheodoreAndor]

Russia should stand fast on conditions and terms. No ceasefire but the Ukraine should wave white flag.

[DavyRo]

There isn't one rational reason for Russia to agree to give the Ukrainians a break for 30 days to rearm & reorganise. They'd be stupid to allow this. How come Ukraine & America believe they can decide what where & when. How Russia should act, why would Russia have any trust in these people anyway?

I LOVE Pepe's metaphors. Makes me crack up laughing! 😂🤣 Yet the depth of his knowledge and analysis is spot on. 👏👏✊️
Thanks, Nima. Your knowledge and questions are also refreshing 👏👏

[chrisbowen]

In this interview Pepe is off the charts on point. "Russia fights with one hand behind their back", and thus, describing all nuances of this conflict with metaphorical precision and accuracy. Everything out of his mouth is meaningful in multiple ways. God bless and protect Pepe Escobar!

[steveogle]

Go ahead rub it in Pepe 😊 Much thanks to you both.

[jwayne]

‘Narrative confectionary’ is brilliant! Thanks Pepe.

The USA does not have diplomats. The New York Businessman is the best the Americans currently have.

[TMe-pc]

The subject matter is depressing but listening to you two is refreshing.

[LeonidasKostas-wq]

I love the expression of "they are in the narrative confectionary business".

[rohinajohnston]

Amazing how well Lavrov speaks English..his diction is perfect.
