The EU leaders kept saying for years that EU is guarantee for peace, because of EU there hasn't been war for 50 y. Obviously they forgot about some EU countries were involved in bombing Yugoslavia, and other places out of Europe. Like Iraq, Libia. But in Ukraine they were all involved with the starting of hot European war. Why, simple, they didn't condemned the antidemocratic coup in Kiev in 2014, and they openly supported it, calling it democratic revolution. So when the people in Donbas protested and asked for autonomy, because their democratic votes were cancelled, and Kiev said, the russian language will be banned. And the Kiev coup ultra nationalists send tanks to Donbas to suppress the people who were standing up for their democratic rights. And, the EU politicians didn't condemned the sending of tanks to Donbas, and they even encouraged the Kiev nationalists. So that was the beginning of the war in Ukraine, when the Kiev coup nationalists sent tanks to Donbas. So, after all EU proved not to be bastion of peace. When during the Minsk agreement Markel and Hollande signed for the peace it was just fake signature, as they both said afterwards that they just wanted to buy time for Ukraine to strengthen militarily and to fight the russians. So, the saying that EU is bastion of peace has crumbled. Their pro eminent leaders wanted war. They thought Russia will pay the price. But as I see, EU will pay the highest price for choosing war instead of peace. Because if the EU leaders chose peace, the CIA, Mi6 and others intelligence services would have backed down. But they chose war, proxy war against Russia. And they are paying for that.
My dear, like their US master, EU leaders have their own reasons n ambitions for deliberately provoking their proxy war in Ukraine which is beyond the understanding of the ordinary public. You still have a lot to learn
Japan also dismissed the risk of the US using nuclear bombs. They miscalculated this risk because the United States used nuclear weapons in Japan with the objective to intimidate the Soviet Union in the early stages of the Cold War. We should learn from history.
It was also in order to finish the war before Britain would be able to get its economy in order. This because a primary objective for the US was to take the world currency from Britain (and take control over the world's oil producing region which Britain largely controlled). It was vital to be able to dictate terms to Britain as if that country had lost a war too.
The US has always been about intimidation, lies, gaslighting, and gen0cide. It is literally a former colonist state/colony founded by slave owners who broke every agreement they signed with the native population, whom they later exterminated. Not to mention other historical crimes
@@steinbauge4591 Churchill must have known by early 1945 that the British empire had been dealt a mortal blow by the war - not simply by the Axis but because both the Americans and Russians were firmly committed to not restoring it again - but he wanted the story of the war to be one of Britain Triumphant, so he kept that angle out of his history of WW2 (the first volume came out in 1948, after the critical surrender of power over British India). After British India and control of the Middle East had gone, there was no way back.

Elderly Brit here. I live in London, my daughter and grachildren live in S Spain. She said that she and husband had discussed going to S America if nuclear war threatened.

When I said this to her it seemed as if they had cooled off on this idea. Blame our attachment to our jobs and property.

I live in Italy, a country that is strongly affected by an enormous public debt, but mine is not the only country in that situation. I worked for years in the financial business and the only logical justification that I see for present attitude of Europe and the US for the WWIII (knowing that the war means new public debt and higher inflation), is the opportunity, whether the war is won or lost, for a large consolidation of respective public debt. This could lead to a new monetary system born on the replacement of many legal tender currencies, with digital IMF SDRs, based on a new parameter no longer linked to the major currencies, as it is today. I know all of that may appear futuristic but, in the case even Trump will persist on the wave of the Biden administration, this picture could be open to the eyes of Western citizens : a "Great Reset"
“Our politicians are interchangeable figureheads on the pirate ships of the Corporatocracy Empire” It's not new If voting changed anything, they would make it illegal " -- Emma Goldman in 1979 And I could go all the way back to Greek philosophers.
Enjoyed the discussion and find it, as always, thoughtful and also thought-provoking. As an American I do just want to say that not all of us support a revenge model and fail to recognize our own culpability in a lot of what happens including attacks on Americans. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans have literally zero influence on the federal governments behavior and choices and any sort of rational discussion of cause and effect is almost impossible to have anymore due to media manipulation and now, as is normal with fading empires, free speech suppression. Politicians themselves have little power beyond "distraction" topics as a few oligarchs wield the real power behind the scenes. It is depressing considering that despite being a tiny portion of the world population, America can have a vastly outsized negative impact all around the world.
It's not the population but the absolute control of technologies n the USD hegemony that has enabled your country's world dominance. Which is why your honourable leaders are using every means at their disposal to try n contain China's technological progress which they consider a threat to your beloved nation's absolute world dominance which has benefited the Americans so massively at the expense of others suffering
I think WALL STREET BLACKROCK VANGUARD MONTESANTO FACEBOOK AMAZON APPLE GATES SOROS ROTSCHILD ROCKEFELLER GOLDMAN & SACHS They get RICHER with WARS. But the poor people die for them. Stupid people!
I do not see America surviving de-Dollarization. Believe me, Anerica will have war on their own soil. They can revenge as much as they wanr. It will happen. This is not the 1990's any more. America will not even be able to get hundreds of thousands of soldiers to Europe. They will end up at the bottom of the sea. Logistics, like weapons, ammunition,food, etc will also end up at the bottom of the sea. So, nuclear it will be. And Trump? Nothing will change.
What Dr. Bistoletti says about him being relatively positive about Trump and Orban, despite him being left wing oriented, illustrates the positive side of the warmongering of neocons and neolibs: It unites the world against the neocolonialist ambitions of the neocons and neolibs.
As a foreigner who lives a long time in Germany, there is no way Europe goes to war against a country like Russia. For an all out war, you need soldiers, who would die for their homeland. Germany and France took last 5-10 years enormous amount of migrants from the Middle East and Africa. There are schools which has classes with more than %90 migrants. These young mans will never die for Germany or France, which i can understand. they are here only for money. Only countries with trustfully NATO soldiers are Poland and maybe Turkey (not in EU), Poland alone is not enough to save the Europe from Russia.
They are not only here for money. They were displaced from their homelands because US Imperialists bombed their countries, stole their natural resources (primarily oil from Iraq and cobalt from Afghanistan for smartphone production) and installed far right dictatorships in those African and Middle Eastern countries, or left those countries to local warlords. And yet, the western media blames it on Islam. If that's the case, then why isn't the largest Muslim nation on the planet, Indonesia, with 300 million people, causing chaos and bloodshed in Asia? I don't see any Indonesian pirates raping Northern Australian women, or pillaging the shores of Japan, Taiwan or New Zealand. Those refugees you were talking about fled to Europe, because those African and Middle Eastern countries from which they fled, were once colonized by the same European countries to which they fled. Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, England all had massive colonial empires stretching from Latin America, to Africa and the Middle East, all the way to the Indian subcontinent, Vietnam, Indonesia, South East Asia, and all those countries have people speaking European languages, and living with European customs. And the argument that Eastern Europeans hands are clean is a lie, because the colonizers sold their surplus stolen resources to each other, including Russia and all the other Eastern European nations. So they might not have colonized peoples away from home, but they sure as hell ate their food and many spices, wore their silver and gold, used their iron ore for weaponry and industry, and used their tropical wood and rubber for construction. Furthermore, I dare you to go and take a look to which people are working in the fast food restaurants, which people are cleaning your train stations and stores, and which people are overrepresented in menial labor jobs, including construction, supermarket grocery stores, markets. Which people work for the municipalities and mow the grass, cut the trees, swipe the streets and carry away your garbage? It's exactly the ones that fled from the former colonies, namely Africans, Middle Easterners and Asians, so no, they are not simply here for money, but fled from countries without any infrastructure, health care, housing, safety, and it was not because of Islam, because Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and many of the Gulf States are in great conditions. It is a bit more complicated, I'm afraid. Think critically, please. You are right about Poland being the only Euro nation with some fight left in them, but it's not because of a lack of foreigners in Poland. It's because of, let me spell it out for your: C A P I T A L I S M, that the rest of Europe has turned into soy, because they are at the top of this cancerous totem pole, their minds turned to mush by porn, video games, drugs and consumer culture, which is built on the backs of the people who you are blaming for the issues in Europe, and by their relatives in war torn countries in Africa, Asia, Middle East and Latin America.
NATO wants to fight Russia by people of Eastern part of EU. They can "kill two flies with one hit" Incite brotherly (Slavic) killing of each other as these countries have treasonous governments fully bought by EU/NATO/US to free space for those migrants... Don´t forget European Union was founded on rabid count Kalergi which wants to create brown race (understand mixing white women with black/brown men) so this brown race can serve Jewish...
Let's put it bluntly: The interest in geopolitics is virtually non-existant. Not to mention any broader historical perspective. Especially the younger generation lives in a weird ahistorical apolitical escapist consumerist limbo. As if the era of sakoku still prevails, at least mentality-wise.
Culturally, I find there are a lot of overlaps between Japan & S. Korea. Unfortunately, they are very much a US-occupied territory. Everything Western, especially culture, the news, and everything contemporary popular culture, is filtered through the US perspective much like Pascal said.
I'm no foreign policy expert, but here's the irony in this madness: that at every opportunity, it is Putin who has shown restraint and even naivety in his response to relentless provocation (and he's supposedly the new Hitler who is bent on conquering the West). Yet, each instance of restraint and naivety becomes an incentive for more daring provocation and escalation, such as the attack on Russia's strategic nuclear warning radar. My fear is that Putin's approach might result in the very outcome he seeks to prevent, for if this continues, it will be only a matter of time before a more spectacular target is attacked inside Russia. (It's not as if the Kremlin itself hasn't yet been attacked.) Then what? Think the very regime change that the West seeks (though by hardliners). Then what would his restraint have achieved even if he himself survived the coup? I'm not unmindful of the risk of a tit-for-tat response: it is in the very nature of such an approach that you end up with unintended consequences. But as he himself once quipped: if a street fight is inevitable, the first punch should come from you. At the very least, why are the 12 acknowledged CIA sites still operating in Ukraine? Why haven't the Nato command centres been taken out? Why is Ukraine's vital infrastructure still intact? Why are Moscow and St Petersburg still infested with known spies masquerading as "pro-democracy NGOs"?
@akpanekpo6025, You wroite :"Yet, each instance of restraint and naivety becomes an incentive for more daring provocation and escalation, such as the attack on Russia's strategic nuclear warning radar." I think, that I know, why the Ukrainian army attacked on the Russia's strategic nuclear warning radar. It almost certainly was not a preparation for a large nuclear attack to Russia, because NATO has not such intensions, it will not start a nuclear war. But the Russians can't be quite sure about that, and so they naturally have to strengthen the air defense near those nuclear warning radars. And then those potential Russian targets, where the Ukrainian army wants to hit, are less well protected. Russia has only limited resources for the antiair defense. Glory to Ukraine ! Glory to the heroes !

Dear Pascal, everything you said is happening. The hubris of European people( the government comes from the people)after having destroyed not only economically still now,discriminate people that are coming from his colonies and ex/colonies, like Africans, natives from Asia, South America between others. Bad ENERGY or Karma exists, and the governments ,even from small countries, think they are better than people of other cultures. Now because they see where they are , they put the whole world in danger. INCREDIBLE!!! Sorry , very sorry if I am wrong, but I think this is what is happening.
@susanarupolo2212, this current war in Ukraine was strated by Putin, who tried in this way to restore the earlier Russian empire.This will be the death agony of that Russian empire, but not Russia as an independent country. Russia could still be a big local force, but the Russian resources are far too litle to keep up the status of a superpower. And the nuclear weapons are almost useless. Glory to Ukraine ! Glory to the heroes !
Nationalism in Europa is rising not because of immigration or other stuff related as many think it is because Nationalists feel Europa has no sovereignity.
The best way out for Europe is to start having dialogue with Russia. The bargaining now is whether Russia is prepared to return the eastern Ukrainian states in exchange for Ukraine neutrality and peace guaranteed US, Europe, China and India. The problem has always been with US who benefit more from the conflicts in Ukrainecthan war. Only when Europeans learn to stand up to the Americans will this conflict diminish.
East Ukraine will never go back to being Ukrainian. We tried that way back in 2014, and the result was the persecution of ethnic minorities. The people of the don river have made a referendum, they are independent countries now, no matter how much the USA cry about it, under international law they are already independent from Ukraine. NATO set the precedent in Kosovo. Now they wanna bend international law to suit them? Fuck that noise. East Ukraine is not east Ukraine, it's a different country. America just has to suck it and accept they lost.
no,,,the true first best way is take back their spine first from US...when europe still a vassal state of US ...they dont have power to do anything or having dialogue what so ever...is all about what best for their master
It is a good point that we only survived the cold war with luck. The cuba crisis was very close. It is really mind boggling why these European politicians seem to be so eager to have a new large European war. It seems really that these folks have forgotten their history lessons. An other reason could be that they have such a comfortable life that they are completely out of touch.
Very true. I remind people of this all the time. The Cold War was like driving down the freeway drunk on the wrong side of the road .... you make it home alive and then convince yourself there was no risk at all.... since you made it home alive. So why not try it again? Crazy logic.
Paul Craig Roberts, undersecretary for finance in the Reagan administration, says his source at the State Department tells him the Europeans are simply bought off. Apparently, the State flies suitcases full of money to assorted European capitals every month.
Thank you Pascal, always a pleasure to hear your discussions. I would like to ask you to invite Mr. Motofumi Asai, a former diplomat to China and a scholar of international politics, to discuss on your program. He is old now but still writes columns about geopolitics regularly for Japanese readers and I think he is one of the best to talk about this field.
Everyone clamouring to rejoin the EU here in the UK. I wouldn't be so fast to rush towards a contagion if it were me at the moment... Yours Truly, A. Remainer
May i reply to Time4Peace'? "The best way out for Europe is to start having dialogue with Russia. The bargaining now is whether Russia is prepared to return the eastern Ukrainian states in exchange for Ukraine neutrality" But, suppose they don't want to be retuned? In September 2023 the Eastern Ukrainian States voted by huge majorities to0 leave Ukraine and become part of Russia. They have a right of self-determination according to the UN charter. They cannot just be moved around like chess pieces.
There is zero chance Russia will return east Ukraine now. The longer the war continues, the worse for the future of Ukraine. Russians would have to be insane to trust the Europeans at this point.
@wynetsang, areally and checking the amount of population one could make that conclusion, but economically, industrially, politically, culturally and historically Europe has been pretty important. It's importance has decreased clearly during the last 120 years, but it is still rather big. And the vast majority of the European countries are stabile, rich and democratic countries, where the inhabitants are happy. So we can say, that during the recent decades we Europeans have done more the right things than misses. However, I don't see current Russia being a part of Europe. I really hope, that the Russians will change their political course in the near future. Now they are heading strainght to Armageddon. Glory to Ukraine ! Glory to the heroes !
Maybe. But there does seem to be an unhinged effort from the Democrats to shore up support for "dear old leader". Maybe this is a feint for the public. Behind the scenes, the Clintons and Obamas may have the knives out for dear old Joe. We'll see. I predicted Newsom a few months back ...
He's an awful individual as is Biden and most if not all American politicians, however his track record is less warlike and globally destructive than the evil ghoul Biden. Thing is the USA is the arch enemy of the multiverse now.
It's ironic that US kept Western Europe weak form a military standpoint, so they would be easily controlled and in doing that they might be to weak to fight anyone, Russia included. The idea that eu could do anything without being directed by US, I find almost impossible. Maybe after Us degrades enough on the international theater, could European countries start to decide their own fate.
Today was the first time I heard a military analyst refer to the use of a low-yield neutron bomb used by Israel or the US/Ukraine. Never heard of it but read about it and realized it a probable option based on Western threats.
If the Americans are so protective of their citizens, why did they abandon them in Afganistan and why didn't they punish Hamas for taking and killing their citizens on 7th October? Just wondering....!
And why do they let citizens go hungry, go without healthcare, go without jobs that will pay the bills, go without safe water, go without adequate sewage treatment, so without protection from mass shootings?
People should learn the truth about both the US, "War of Independence" and the French "Revolution" which was a foreign Coup D'état and how they are directly connected to each other. In fact it was the same people taking the decisions. The leadership in both of them were unelected powers which a majority came from Freemasons and Jacobinism which ultimately has the same purpose. Benjamin Franklin was the Master at the Freemason lodge in Paris at the time, and was even honored with the actual key to the Bastille after they assassinated the French Royalties. The very same people destroyed Europe and is the people that still control US, UK and Europe, under collective labels as Zionists, heading for world control using neo-liberalism as a tool.

No politicians in America will go anywhere if at all if not funded by AIPAC. If they are not approved by AIPAC, their paths will be blocked everywhere. The J*wish lobby is at every level of the society. Not that all J*wish people are alike, many are strongly against the current genocide, and their voices are loud and clear.
Criticism on the existing power structures and policies in the West is a great way to unite people from all over the political spectrum. Much appreciated for this episode.
"Esteemed interlocutors, Preaching Express Pascal and Dr. Ezequiel, I was inclined to proffer a commentary upon an alternative platform yesterday evening, wherein the discourse revolved around the perilous folly of certain individuals trifling with the apocalyptic specter of nuclear conflagration. However, I refrained, for it is my considered judgment that these persons, being of mature intellect, ought to possess the perspicacity to comprehend the gravitas of their actions. When, inevitably, they find themselves seared by the very flames they have ignited and seek solace, they shall be met not with compassion, but with the righteous censure and disdain they so richly deserve." For reasons people choose to ignore and acquiesce to.

we survived the cold war not by luck but by a stability in countries that has declined markedly and has allowed societies become more anxious and fearful and and war- like.

After looking into the napoleonic wars for some time, I definitely define them as “World War Zero”. Although the colonies saw less direct fighting, their peoples indeed suffered. From increased resource exploitation, from loss of local agency, forced “state creations” and cultural alienation, or “change of ownership” - decided by winners & losers in Europe. This includes shaping USA’s emergence and allies, and numerous constitutional changes around the world. Influenced or forced. More philosophically, WW-zero was the point of no return for modernity - modernism as a set of values - that literally brought us to our current state. Our beliefs in economic growth, ownership of capital, progress, “platform evolution” (social Darwinism) - the reductionist imperative. That’s my 5¢, though. My bias is as clear as anyone else’s… 👍
Maybe things are different in Switzerland with recruitment and stuff but it is virtually impossible the U.K. will fight a conventional war. The military is tiny and Sunak (and Sir Keir, his likely replacement) as representatives of King Charles III has no chance of successfully conscripting. They couldn’t even get people to work in factories making bombs. Same with France. Just can’t imagine the man who was running away from farmers sending their sons to die. Probably also true in Germany: Scholz does not seem popular. Estonia does not have an air force and no tanks so even if they’re going go it is irrelevant. Plus there are loads of USA military bases to risk losing in European countries if they try conscription, so you might get a USA vs. Russia war or a nuclear war but I don’t think a conventional war in Europe is in the slightest possible. You know there is still a statue to Field Marshall Haig in the heart of government here: he managed to kill 20,000 in a single day at the start of the Somme battle in WW1? The elites here are completely clueless. It does not matter in the slightest how much they buff and puff.
We live in the Age of Aquarius, that's why the younger generation is not interested in wars like the generations of their ancestors were. The times are a changing, just like the song says.
I feel we´re at a crossroads now, it can get worse, far worse obediently following orders from Washington, or maybe there is a new beginning in there somewhere with politicians (Orban & Co.?) who will work for our interests. It´s sad that things had to get this bad.
Just do what is in your power for Peace Justice and Freedom , but do it ------- don't be indifferent ! Thank you Pascal Lottaz and Ezequiel Bistoletti !
The thing about the war is that the EU can go to war with Russia but without US help (and probably even with), Russia doesn't have to use nuclear weapons to win. Anyone who thinks that NATO could win against Russia right now isn't paying close attention to the details of this war. NATO has no clue how to fight this war and wouldn't last very long.
I have been hearing many West analysts but no one of them had said that US can't fight alone. Even though USA is mercenary country because its arms has been requared to fight in every place on the planet. On the other hand China, Russia, india, Iran, north Koreia meybe Afeganistão will be soon a big organization like NATO is.
the one place that would be vastly improved by being broken up would be the (dis) (un) United States of America. It'd be so nice to have a separate nation of Appalachia. The Mississippi Delta. And the rest. Based on geographical and musical areas. Give it some thought. Hollywood. Mormon Land. The economic possibilities for tourism are cosmic.
22:18 often times our electoral options come down to choosing to continue the status quo or to change direction. Continuity in this case will be disastrous. Change could solve the problem. So changing leaders is probably the lesser evil.
28:30 after the disgrace of the presidential debate, the moment has never been more opportune for 3rd parties. We need a large dark horse wave from 3rd parties, and we need to show it can be done. The logic of 2 party and lesser evil voting has been thoroughly discredited in my opinion.
The game is that Russia must be pushed to do something that the whole world regret and Russia looses the sympathy of the majority of the world and will be seen as a pariah and be handled accordingly
They've already tried that -- it was to force Russia into an invasion of Ukraine. It hasn't worked as they planned although they've thrown everything into the project. A full scale war between NATO and Russia will go nuclear very quickly -- and the world will have problems far beyond worrying about how it started.
Je partage votre inquiétude. Etant né pendant la 2e guerre mondiale, avec une famille à triangle rouge, mes parents m'avaient expliqué ce qu'était une guerre. Beaucoup semblent croire aujourd'hui que c'est un jeu vidéo avec un bouton réstart. Ils auront peut-être le plaisir d'apprécier le résultat de leurs discours bellicistes.
Indians were forced by the British to fight for a country that was colonizing them ; Britain were beyond sick , and what's worse , most British are proud of the rotten empire !
True. But there's been no nuclear blackmail. That narrative is manufactured by Western politicians. I watch actual interviews, both Russian and Western, and know where distortions take place.

I live in Italy, a country that is strongly affected by an enormous public debt, but mine is not the only country in that situation. I worked for years in the financial business and the only logical justification that I see for present attitude of Europe and the US for the WWIII (knowing that the war means new public debt and higher inflation), is the opportunity, whether the war is won or lost, for a large consolidation of respective public debt. This could lead to a new monetary system born on the replacement of many legal tender currencies, with digital IMF SDRs, based on a new parameter no longer linked to the major currencies, as it is today. I know all of that may appear futuristic but, in the case even Trump will persist on the wave of the Biden administration, this picture could be open to the eyes of Western citizens : a "Great Reset"
The West will not be allowed to dictate the coming new global financial order.

Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" IS STILL APPLICABLE!
Unfortunately, common sense has been beaten out of the US leadership as well as in the EU.
Enjoyed the discussion and find it, as always, thoughtful and also thought-provoking. As an American I do just want to say that not all of us support a revenge model and fail to recognize our own culpability in a lot of what happens including attacks on Americans. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans have literally zero influence on the federal governments behavior and choices and any sort of rational discussion of cause and effect is almost impossible to have anymore due to media manipulation and now, as is normal with fading empires, free speech suppression. Politicians themselves have little power beyond "distraction" topics as a few oligarchs wield the real power behind the scenes. It is depressing considering that despite being a tiny portion of the world population, America can have a vastly outsized negative impact all around the world.
It's not the population but the absolute control of technologies n the USD hegemony that has enabled your country's world dominance. Which is why your honourable leaders are using every means at their disposal to try n contain China's technological progress which they consider a threat to your beloved nation's absolute world dominance which has benefited the Americans so massively at the expense of others suffering

Politics is not for the people, it's self interest period.
Japan is done!
With the US there are not really good options. This is even worse as Europe has no independent foreign policy .
What Dr. Bistoletti says about him being relatively positive about Trump and Orban, despite him being left wing oriented, illustrates the positive side of the warmongering of neocons and neolibs: It unites the world against the neocolonialist ambitions of the neocons and neolibs.
As a foreigner who lives a long time in Germany, there is no way Europe goes to war against a country like Russia. For an all out war, you need soldiers, who would die for their homeland.
Germany and France took last 5-10 years enormous amount of migrants from the Middle East and Africa. There are schools which has classes with more than %90 migrants. These young mans will never die for Germany or France, which i can understand. they are here only for money.
Only countries with trustfully NATO soldiers are Poland and maybe Turkey (not in EU), Poland alone is not enough to save the Europe from Russia.
Turky is on it's way to BRICS, it will leave NATO.
Germany is safe from Russia unless Germany attacks Russia... Russia knows that Germany is a servant of the US
No one needs to be saved from Russia. Your very premise is psychotic natsoc propaganda.
They are not only here for money. They were displaced from their homelands because US Imperialists bombed their countries, stole their natural resources (primarily oil from Iraq and cobalt from Afghanistan for smartphone production) and installed far right dictatorships in those African and Middle Eastern countries, or left those countries to local warlords. And yet, the western media blames it on Islam. If that's the case, then why isn't the largest Muslim nation on the planet, Indonesia, with 300 million people, causing chaos and bloodshed in Asia? I don't see any Indonesian pirates raping Northern Australian women, or pillaging the shores of Japan, Taiwan or New Zealand.
Those refugees you were talking about fled to Europe, because those African and Middle Eastern countries from which they fled, were once colonized by the same European countries to which they fled. Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, England all had massive colonial empires stretching from Latin America, to Africa and the Middle East, all the way to the Indian subcontinent, Vietnam, Indonesia, South East Asia, and all those countries have people speaking European languages, and living with European customs. And the argument that Eastern Europeans hands are clean is a lie, because the colonizers sold their surplus stolen resources to each other, including Russia and all the other Eastern European nations. So they might not have colonized peoples away from home, but they sure as hell ate their food and many spices, wore their silver and gold, used their iron ore for weaponry and industry, and used their tropical wood and rubber for construction.
Furthermore, I dare you to go and take a look to which people are working in the fast food restaurants, which people are cleaning your train stations and stores, and which people are overrepresented in menial labor jobs, including construction, supermarket grocery stores, markets. Which people work for the municipalities and mow the grass, cut the trees, swipe the streets and carry away your garbage? It's exactly the ones that fled from the former colonies, namely Africans, Middle Easterners and Asians, so no, they are not simply here for money, but fled from countries without any infrastructure, health care, housing, safety, and it was not because of Islam, because Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and many of the Gulf States are in great conditions.
It is a bit more complicated, I'm afraid. Think critically, please.
You are right about Poland being the only Euro nation with some fight left in them, but it's not because of a lack of foreigners in Poland. It's because of, let me spell it out for your: C A P I T A L I S M, that the rest of Europe has turned into soy, because they are at the top of this cancerous totem pole, their minds turned to mush by porn, video games, drugs and consumer culture, which is built on the backs of the people who you are blaming for the issues in Europe, and by their relatives in war torn countries in Africa, Asia, Middle East and Latin America.
NATO wants to fight Russia by people of Eastern part of EU. They can "kill two flies with one hit" Incite brotherly (Slavic) killing of each other as these countries have treasonous governments fully bought by EU/NATO/US to free space for those migrants... Don´t forget European Union was founded on rabid count Kalergi which wants to create brown race (understand mixing white women with black/brown men) so this brown race can serve Jewish...

@@MrRespectable-gw2xd It is Bistoletti.🤗
I'm no foreign policy expert, but here's the irony in this madness: that at every opportunity, it is Putin who has shown restraint and even naivety in his response to relentless provocation (and he's supposedly the new Hitler who is bent on conquering the West). Yet, each instance of restraint and naivety becomes an incentive for more daring provocation and escalation, such as the attack on Russia's strategic nuclear warning radar.
My fear is that Putin's approach might result in the very outcome he seeks to prevent, for if this continues, it will be only a matter of time before a more spectacular target is attacked inside Russia. (It's not as if the Kremlin itself hasn't yet been attacked.) Then what? Think the very regime change that the West seeks (though by hardliners). Then what would his restraint have achieved even if he himself survived the coup?
I'm not unmindful of the risk of a tit-for-tat response: it is in the very nature of such an approach that you end up with unintended consequences. But as he himself once quipped: if a street fight is inevitable, the first punch should come from you.
At the very least, why are the 12 acknowledged CIA sites still operating in Ukraine? Why haven't the Nato command centres been taken out? Why is Ukraine's vital infrastructure still intact? Why are Moscow and St Petersburg still infested with known spies masquerading as "pro-democracy NGOs"?
Several of your points and questions are very good. We'll have to wait and see how much restraint the Russians are willing to show .....
@@randygraham926 They've already shown more restraint than anyone had the right to hope for
@akpanekpo6025, You wroite :"Yet, each instance of restraint and naivety becomes an incentive for more daring provocation and escalation, such as the attack on Russia's strategic nuclear warning radar."
I think, that I know, why the Ukrainian army attacked on the Russia's strategic nuclear warning radar. It almost certainly was not a preparation for a large nuclear attack to Russia, because NATO has not such intensions, it will not start a nuclear war. But the Russians can't be quite sure about that, and so they naturally have to strengthen the air defense near those nuclear warning radars. And then those potential Russian targets, where the Ukrainian army wants to hit, are less well protected. Russia has only limited resources for the antiair defense. Glory to Ukraine ! Glory to the heroes !
In the short term it might be fantastic for the Americans but an impoverished Europe won't be spending money in America.

FVD would not like George Galloway, nor the Houthis, Iran, and China. FVD are apologists for Dutch colonialism, which they proudly call the golden century of the Dutch. FVD flirts with fascism through Julius Evola worship, which is monarchist and imperialist. Galloway is basically a populist socialist, if not a Marxist, which is infinitely better than any neoliberal and neoconservative ideology. But you can't act like all of the parties you mentioned are a monolith.
Dear Pascal, everything you said is happening. The hubris of European people( the government comes from the people)after having destroyed not only economically still now,discriminate people that are coming from his colonies and ex/colonies, like Africans, natives from Asia, South America between others. Bad ENERGY or Karma exists, and the governments ,even from small countries, think they are better than people of other cultures.
Now because they see where they are , they put the whole world in danger. INCREDIBLE!!!
Sorry , very sorry if I am wrong, but I think this is what is happening.

@susanarupolo2212, this current war in Ukraine was strated by Putin, who tried in this way to restore the earlier Russian empire.This will be the death agony of that Russian empire, but not Russia as an independent country. Russia could still be a big local force, but the Russian resources are far too litle to keep up the status of a superpower. And the nuclear weapons are almost useless. Glory to Ukraine ! Glory to the heroes !

The best way out for Europe is to start having dialogue with Russia. The bargaining now is whether Russia is prepared to return the eastern Ukrainian states in exchange for Ukraine neutrality and peace guaranteed US, Europe, China and India. The problem has always been with US who benefit more from the conflicts in Ukrainecthan war.
Only when Europeans learn to stand up to the Americans will this conflict diminish.
East Ukraine will never go back to being Ukrainian. We tried that way back in 2014, and the result was the persecution of ethnic minorities. The people of the don river have made a referendum, they are independent countries now, no matter how much the USA cry about it, under international law they are already independent from Ukraine. NATO set the precedent in Kosovo. Now they wanna bend international law to suit them? Fuck that noise. East Ukraine is not east Ukraine, it's a different country. America just has to suck it and accept they lost.
Why should Russia return those areas now? They offered it at the Istanbul peace talks , when Boris Johnson made Zelensky refuse it
Considering that most people there a pro-russian, returning them to Kiev is cruel, you know. Guess what would happen to them then.
no,,,the true first best way is take back their spine first from US...when europe still a vassal state of US ...they dont have power to do anything or having dialogue what so ever...is all about what best for their master
Russia will not return anything! According to the constitution of Russia, those regions are now part of Russia.
It is a good point that we only survived the cold war with luck. The cuba crisis was very close. It is really mind boggling why these European politicians seem to be so eager to have a new large European war. It seems really that these folks have forgotten their history lessons. An other reason could be that they have such a comfortable life that they are completely out of touch.
Very true. I remind people of this all the time. The Cold War was like driving down the freeway drunk on the wrong side of the road .... you make it home alive and then convince yourself there was no risk at all.... since you made it home alive. So why not try it again? Crazy logic.

In September 2023 the Eastern Ukrainian States voted by huge majorities to0 leave Ukraine and become part of Russia. They have a right of self-determination according to the UN charter. They cannot just be moved around like chess pieces.
There is zero chance Russia will return east Ukraine now. The longer the war continues, the worse for the future of Ukraine.
Russians would have to be insane to trust the Europeans at this point.
Those provinces are Russian.
Europe is a peninsula of Asia just like India is a peninsula of Asia.
Correct.
@wynetsang, areally and checking the amount of population one could make that conclusion, but economically, industrially, politically, culturally and historically Europe has been pretty important. It's importance has decreased clearly during the last 120 years, but it is still rather big. And the vast majority of the European countries are stabile, rich and democratic countries, where the inhabitants are happy. So we can say, that during the recent decades we Europeans have done more the right things than misses. However, I don't see current Russia being a part of Europe. I really hope, that the Russians will change their political course in the near future. Now they are heading strainght to Armageddon. Glory to Ukraine ! Glory to the heroes !

Today was the first time I heard a military analyst refer to the use of a low-yield neutron bomb used by Israel or the US/Ukraine. Never heard of it but read about it and realized it a probable option based on Western threats.

People should learn the truth about both the US, "War of Independence" and the French "Revolution" which was a foreign Coup D'état and how they are directly connected to each other. In fact it was the same people taking the decisions. The leadership in both of them were unelected powers which a majority came from Freemasons and Jacobinism which ultimately has the same purpose. Benjamin Franklin was the Master at the Freemason lodge in Paris at the time, and was even honored with the actual key to the Bastille after they assassinated the French Royalties. The very same people destroyed Europe and is the people that still control US, UK and Europe, under collective labels as Zionists, heading for world control using neo-liberalism as a tool.
Pascal Lottaz is right to tell the European that there actions lead to catastrophic outcomes.

No politicians in America will go anywhere if at all if not funded by AIPAC. If they are not approved by AIPAC, their paths will be blocked everywhere.

"Esteemed interlocutors, Preaching Express Pascal and Dr. Ezequiel, I was inclined to proffer a commentary upon an alternative platform yesterday evening, wherein the discourse revolved around the perilous folly of certain individuals trifling with the apocalyptic specter of nuclear conflagration. However, I refrained, for it is my considered judgment that these persons, being of mature intellect, ought to possess the perspicacity to comprehend the gravitas of their actions. When, inevitably, they find themselves seared by the very flames they have ignited and seek solace, they shall be met not with compassion, but with the righteous censure and disdain they so richly deserve."

After looking into the napoleonic wars for some time, I definitely define them as “World War Zero”.
Although the colonies saw less direct fighting, their peoples indeed suffered. From increased resource exploitation, from loss of local agency, forced “state creations” and cultural alienation, or “change of ownership” - decided by winners & losers in Europe.
This includes shaping USA’s emergence and allies, and numerous constitutional changes around the world. Influenced or forced.
More philosophically, WW-zero was the point of no return for modernity - modernism as a set of values - that literally brought us to our current state. Our beliefs in economic growth, ownership of capital, progress, “platform evolution” (social Darwinism) - the reductionist imperative.
That’s my 5¢, though. My bias is as clear as anyone else’s… 👍
Very good channel, intelligent knowledgeable people having an honest, common sense discussion.
Maybe things are different in Switzerland with recruitment and stuff but it is virtually impossible the U.K. will fight a conventional war. The military is tiny and Sunak (and Sir Keir, his likely replacement) as representatives of King Charles III has no chance of successfully conscripting. They couldn’t even get people to work in factories making bombs.
Same with France. Just can’t imagine the man who was running away from farmers sending their sons to die.
Probably also true in Germany: Scholz does not seem popular.
Estonia does not have an air force and no tanks so even if they’re going go it is irrelevant. Plus there are loads of USA military bases to risk losing in European countries if they try conscription, so you might get a USA vs. Russia war or a nuclear war but I don’t think a conventional war in Europe is in the slightest possible. You know there is still a statue to Field Marshall Haig in the heart of government here: he managed to kill 20,000 in a single day at the start of the Somme battle in WW1? The elites here are completely clueless. It does not matter in the slightest how much they buff and puff.
We live in the Age of Aquarius, that's why the younger generation is not interested in wars like the generations of their ancestors were. The times are a changing, just like the song says.

The thing about the war is that the EU can go to war with Russia but without US help (and probably even with), Russia doesn't have to use nuclear weapons to win. Anyone who thinks that NATO could win against Russia right now isn't paying close attention to the details of this war. NATO has no clue how to fight this war and wouldn't last very long.
Perhaps Kaja Kallas would agree to single armed combat with Putin, instead of a war.
I have been hearing many West analysts but no one of them had said that US can't fight alone. Even though USA is mercenary country because its arms has been requared to fight in every place on the planet. On the other hand China, Russia, india, Iran, north Koreia meybe Afeganistão will be soon a big organization like NATO is.
The Seven Years War was probably the first true World War (second under Pascal's count).
@tyn6211 exactly what I was thinking.
"Old Europe..." Are you telling me Rummy was onto something?
the one place that would be vastly improved by being broken up would be the (dis) (un) United States of America. It'd be so nice to have a separate nation of Appalachia. The Mississippi Delta. And the rest. Based on geographical and musical areas. Give it some thought. Hollywood. Mormon Land. The economic possibilities for tourism are cosmic.
22:18 often times our electoral options come down to choosing to continue the status quo or to change direction. Continuity in this case will be disastrous. Change could solve the problem. So changing leaders is probably the lesser evil.
28:30 after the disgrace of the presidential debate, the moment has never been more opportune for 3rd parties. We need a large dark horse wave from 3rd parties, and we need to show it can be done. The logic of 2 party and lesser evil voting has been thoroughly discredited in my opinion.
The game is that Russia must be pushed to do something that the whole world regret and Russia looses the sympathy of the majority of the world and will be seen as a pariah and be handled accordingly
They've already tried that -- it was to force Russia into an invasion of Ukraine. It hasn't worked as they planned although they've thrown everything into the project.
A full scale war between NATO and Russia will go nuclear very quickly -- and the world will have problems far beyond worrying about how it started.
