Well informed and articulate guest. He knows the facts of the many various issues and expresses it to the point. He is a Truth-Teller.

The first sensible and honest analysis of the European/Western situation that I have heard so far. In honestly recognizing the problem as fundamentally rooted in the racism of Europe, both the biological and cultural traditions and the superiority and supremacy complex of Western cultures, the gentleman has opened a door for a genuine and meaningful dialogue and understanding of the issues that are at the core of the Western Hemisphere’s relationship with the rest of the world. Do the western countries and their thinkers have the guts to go through this open door and confront heads- on these fundamental problems of racism and global white supremacy that is threatening the future and continued existence of all life on earth?!!

Russia is defeating Ukraine, but at their own pace, for reason. This is currently the 3 rd iteration of the Ukranian Army, that's being decimated in the field of battle. Most crucially, in these slowly but surely processes, the original SMO of demilitarization of Ukraine has expanded clearly into demilitarization of NATO itself ; Thousands of heavy armour, including tanks, APC's & artillery, from a combined 40 allied nations have been destroyed, not to mention numerous types of Air Defense batteries. Hence, there's actually a method to this madness by the Russian High Command. All the while the Russian Armed Forces are growing stronger, larger, more advanced, adapting remarkably & vitally, gaining the dust settles, Russia will have the most powerful, battle hardened army on the planet and as such, they'll Never go back ; exactly as the Soviets did after years of attritional warfare in 1945.
Pretty brilliant, really!

South Korea's break from recognizing Taipei in 1992 was the biggest single turning point ... stability becoming the main popular issue amongst the electorate thereafter ... with first direct presidential election in spring of 1996 being decided in favor of the incumbent Lee Deng-hui.

the u.s. may have two parties that occasionally differ on some domestic policies, but they are conjoined when it comes to wars !

Russia's SMO is not illegal. Russia had a valid reason to intervene under the R2P provision of international law. Anyone who disagrees can try to take issue at the UN. Good luck with that.

Talking about international law is in reality just a waste of time.

Things will be decided on the battlefield. Good luck with that, too😂

Most Taiwanese opp9se warscand only the DPP separatists keep instigating wars. People in China are able to rate their leaders and are trained and nurtured for years.

In the UK ordinary people use to bet bet on anything. The bet I suggest to them is " How many additional inhabitants will Russia add up incorporate in the end of the war." My take is 9 million

Dr Bricmont gives the impression Neo Colonialism may or may not be a thing but simultaneously see African immigration as a possible cultural problem in France.

Are too many fashion shows and exotic beauties and too much fashion culture responsible for this?

[МарияСухих-ич]

Ukraine does not have a historical strong anti-Russian sentiment. That is peculiar to the areas that were annexed in 1939. He probably knows this and misspoke.

[melkamumisganaw]

Glory to anti colonialist RUSSIA. By the way how can i get Russian Flag & Putin's Picture/Photo?

Why don’t you introduce yourself and your guests. Who are you and what is your background? Who are your guests?

[marshabennett]

Russia already has a plan for the F-16's Holland is giving Ukraine. No fear, just preparation - which can only be accomplished by the competent.

Taiwan is a weird one: it was called Formosa for centuries, and the people, known as Formosans, had nothing to do with China. In fact, they had more in common with the Hawaiians. But they got invaded and colonised by Japan in the late 19th century. It was only after WWII, when the Chinese Nationalists fled there to escape Mao's revolutionary army, that Taiwan began to be thought of as Chinese.
