Last US Ambassador to USSR Reveals USA Doctrine Of Hegemony | Amb. Jack Matlock.

The USA has "inherited" the Brezhnev-Doctrine, says last US Ambassador to Soviet Union, Jack Matlock. As one of the men who negotiated the Cold War to an end, Ambassador Matlock talks in a candid interview about how the USA has been using regime-change operations systematically and without remorse ever since the USSR has officially stopped doing so and how the motivations for those changes are—as as they were for the USSR—a matter of ideology. To spread "the liberal world order" the USA today would go further than its old rival.

Ambassador Matlock was born in 1929, educated at Duke and Columbia Universities, he entered the Foreign Service in 1956 and went all the way to become US Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987–91 with his duties in Moscow ending only months before the dissolution of the country itself. He was famously working with President Reagan and Bush Senior to end the Cold War which he keeps emphasising happened due to mutual agreement and good diplomacy, not because of the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Jack Matlock is exceptional. He speaks from experience and puts today's conflicts in a new light. Most retired US officials fail to speak out on the flaws of US foreign policy. Thank you.

95 years old and sharp as a tack. Amazing man and exceptional diplomat. Thank you.

95 years old, almost, Ambassador Jack Matlock. Wise and balanced. And brighter and more coherent and more rational than our current occupant of the White House. Peace on earth and goodwill towards all mankind. God bless the United States. God bless Russia.

Pascal Lottaz,
Your interviews with Ambassador Matlock are absolute WORLD CLASS HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL TREASURES! Congratulations! Please save them, don't let them perish, spread! And your conduct (patient, un-interrupting, smart) was exemplary.

Older than Biden yet sharp and precise, wishing this legend good health, thank you for the knowledge.

Just imagining there was a real chance of peaceful and prosperous coexistence, which was carelessly thrown away makes you want to cry.

Sadly, nobody in US bothered to learn from these wise people.

[rosemaryspiota]

The days when the USA actually had ambassadors who had knowledge and even sympathy, NOT INGRAINED HATRED like Michael McFaul, allowed fruitful communication and decisions. Congratulations Pascal on finding Jack Matlock, a genuine treasure.

Despite the age mr. Matlock seems to have a clear and sound mind. Nice interview

[necsoiub]

This esteemed gentleman is 94 years old and everything he said in this interview makes a lot of sense. I watched the whole thing. Would love to see him more often.

[ai_serf]

how fortunate we are to be such times wheres so many historical figures can talk freely and it can reach us all.

[Neckbeard-ltmi]

Thank you for bringing Ambassador Matlock on. It is always great to hear from the eyewitnesses. It I sad more people are not interested in what he has to say.

[everettholland]

Love Ambassador Matlock. Intelligent, truthful, and most of all humane.

[richardlozier]

Thanks -- as US citizen first visiting the USSR in December 1986 and moving to USSR in August 1991, days before the end of the USSR, I've been watching all this while working as a scientist and editor in the USA, Hungary, USSR, Germany, and Russia.

[lampeshade]

Very good conversation with somebody who was there and is honest

[remicaron]

This maybe the greatest interview the world has ever hard. I will send this interview to everyone I possibly can. I hope everyone does the same. This is beyond important at this time.

[francoisguyot]

These are very important living statements in witness of historical events from first hand protagonists that will serve a reference to clear any doubts from those who are inclined to rewrite history on their behalf. Thanks for inviting the former US ambassador under the Reagan administration.

Amen ! We need many more people like US Ambassador Jack Matlock. His ability, intelligence and experience is badly lacking in present American policy . Our so called "diplomats " need to learn many lessons from him .
