the us should get out of EVERYWHERE
@sneksnekitsasnek * America being the biggest arms dealer in the world is what causes the anarchy
@sneksnekitsasnek
More like US economy would plunge and their society will become anarchical as a result of it.
no, it is to counter others influence and If we withdrew everyone outside us would live in or in the influence of an oppressive regime
@@janplays4019 Oppresive regimes are made by the US. Latinamerica can live without the US intervention, the world isn't just you.

Not only in Latin America same thing in the middleast, and Africa something… they study your cultures… for example they make Hispanics/ Latinos kill each other over drugs… Middle East they hire and train ppl to bom and kill in the name of Islam, in Africa it’s same thing name of religion or $$$.
The U S needs to get out everywhere, not just Latin America.
@Theonlyonestanding *It's 'Laziest' dumbass! Who are you referring as "LAZYEST RACES"?
@Theonlyonestanding you mean thr rich?
They even suck at the number one sport in the world too
True
@Dang cut off foreign aid & the migrant crisis quadruples. Is that what you want?
Wow, I am impressed with your confrontation of this despicable man and for exposing the hypocrisy of the US.
The name too - "Otto Reich" ..... I think I hear the tinkle of paperclips ..🤨
It's funny how ppl r dismissing mehdi as being ignorant simply because he is questioning Americas foreign policy. Didn't know Americans are not interested in free speech but dogma
I agree. In fact, a good journalist is a journalist who challenges and provokes his interviewee to get as many answers from him or her as he can. Let alone that the very idea of this program is to challenge. That's why it's called Head to Head.
When a person tells you
who they are, BELIEVE THEM!!
it will save you a ton of grief!

Cheesit! Thats EASY!!!
THEY ARE ADULT CHILDREN OF ALCOHOLICS!
They'll hate the one pointing out the abuse, BUT WILL DEFEND & PROTECT the ABUSER..
My Rx; theyre hopeless, dont even spare a minute
It will COST you way more than you thought
They dont want help liberating themselves!
Its only subservience that THEY KNOW,
Its their oppression that gives them meaning
Their SLAVERY defines them (its allegence, its noble & seemingly voluntary, in there own minds)
& If/when THEY ARE ready
Something shatters &
the become blessedly disillusioned
& they WANT now to hear
what we have to say
They know where we are..
GODSPEED!🤩
Some Americans still do... Every and everybody should be scrutinized
stop generalizing.

Although not explicitly stated within the text of the 6th amendment, what SCOTUS ruled, in the case of Coffin v. United States (1895) established in UNITED STATES LAW, the RIGHT of all accused to the presumption of innocence.
To listen to so many justifications to overthrow LatAm leaders while embracing the oh-so-democratic Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, etc. is like a bad psychedelic experience.
I think it's a step worse than a bad psychedelic experience; it is positively sociopathic.
@Flash Gordon h
exactly. embargo on cuba is a joke if you compare to us friends in arabian world
Not really.. the leaders who don't allow access to american businesses get overthrown. It's very simple.
Anyone that thinks politics is about fairness and justice is pretty naive. It’s a game that needs to be played.
As someone born and raised in the USA, if I were President, the first thing I would do is apologize to all of Latin America for what all the different governments have done throughout the years.
😂😂😂
Latin America is all the different government's from the beginning.
Whenever you think about anything to do with Latin America.
Spanish and then Mexican 🌮🌯
It's way too deep for the poorest . the turmoils of the government's from other countries. Have brought.
Are now that they're collapsed
The next phase of the conquest
Security forces of other government's. Are now going to have a blood bath and you know.
What with the murders in Mexico. People disappeared. Drugs. War. Perhaps you should live in Mexico. As someone who has no patriotism. You could live in Mexico.
Apologies wouldn't be enough. Do like America did to Europe, REPARATIONS! Including AFRICA!
Otto gets redder with every question????????

Mrrkal Jnnes No, it's something your mom says a lot about my personal matters "it's getting redder" nudge, nudge : )
The rejection of Islam is a legitimate political stance and shouldn't be coupled with fear, that's a false equivalence, moron.
I just think Islam is pure bullshit......are you offended : ( Deal with it you PC A-hole.
Frankly, the fact that you equate the notion of being critical towards Islam or Muslims in a country were the free exchange of ideas are encouraged as racist makes my point even more relevant.
@@normster1000 So....would you say you're Christian? You don't act like it. No true believer would push for war. You are really a sad soul. You are one reason I am embarrassed to be American.

Thanks Al jazzira
We do kinda know about this it’s in the History books taught in school and the documents have been declassified since back in the 90s it’s not like it’s a secret that the government tries to keep the public from knowing. Quite honestly when you’re in the center of politics in the world your attention span for a particular issue in a particular part of the world is short unless if the public thinks it’s important enough and the president makes it important you can argue that this stuff in Latin America is important but when it gets blurred into the countless other issues in all corners of the world it becomes just another place with problems to the average American there’s good and bad of being the world police. From the perspective of an American. I think this show lacks perspectives of Americans.

They seem to take people from other countries educate them give them all the information and resources to return and establish their goals for their country and culture is preserved but the black people are the thorns of our lives too.
Mehdi is as sharp as a tack. Man i wish we had US journalists like this. Or even just close to this.
will do thanks
We do they are just not on T.V. and if you're looking there for journalists, you are barking up the wrong tree! As a matter of fact, there are too many to name!
You must be bullshitting! How did I get to a leftist liberal video? I’ll admit he crushed this dude. But from my perspective, the old Americans arguments were correct. Amazing how our preconceived political beliefs can change the whole essence of a debate. I think the host was a far superior debater(?), but not on substance. The old guy is absolutely correct with most/all his arguments. I’m an American conservative and agree we shouldn’t be meddling in other country’s affairs, like we are in Venezuela. WTF? And we’ve made mistakes in the past. But in aggregate, our contributions to the entire world have been a net positive. This Mahdi character (the host) was able to control the narrative, the pace-and he had the audience and network on his side! That’s why it appears to you-and even I-that he won the debate. But dig deeper-MUCH DEEPER-into the facts and realities/situations as they were in the past, and you’ll see that the American was just as persuasive with the substance of his arguments (to me, at least) as was the host. Same thing they do on all “news” networks these days. Even Fox, but they take the conservative point of view. That there exemplifies the problems of our politics today. Sides have been chosen, loyalty to party has superseded logic, and open minds no longer exist. It’s terrible. I’m more liberal than the Republicans on many issues. Yet I’ve only 2 choices. Not good. Sorry for ranting, but finally, WE DO HAVE US “JOURNALISTS “ SHARP AS AND SHARPER than this limey bloke. Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Sean Hannity, Gavin McGinnes, Mark Levin, Candace Owens, Larry Elder, Ann Coulter,....the list goes on. Any of these mentioned would destroy this leftist Limey with no problems.
@@spidermight8054 Anyone one who thinks that the aggregate of America's contributions to the entire world have been a net positive has got to be doing something very strong to be so delusional! Or the other possibility is that you have very little regard for the life and well being of others, if it means you can make a buck. Because those are the morals behind the actions of the government. I would not even try to recall all the lost lives due to America 215+ years of war. I can only imagine that you are ignorant of the true history and have inculcated the myth that you are attempting to pass of to the unknowing! The real sick and sad thing is its done for a Dollar which is debt. No one has to enslave you, you do it yourself.
@@spidermight8054 bwahahaha!!!! Hannity!?! Lmao, all MSM does is lie and project, nothing of substance. This isn't a left wing news site. It is called real news, real factual evidence against USA regime change wars, costing us TRILLIONS!!!!
This is not a question, it is a statement. No us colonialism. The us has to get out of Latin America.
Does this even warrant discussion? It's like saying, should that stranger breaking into my property leave?
Break into your property, murder your pets and and any relatives in there, steal your valuables and bring in and instill a stranger as a new owner.
"There are some very bad people in the world."
Like Reich.
He was so composed at first but half way through his reactions start getting funny.
I honestly find it quite ironic on America gets involved in other country’s governments and rulings, but doesn’t allow the same to be done to them. We see these again and again. All because these countries do not meet the political or economic agenda of United States. Is got nothing to do with the leaders of these countries being communist or evil. Is all about who has benefit for USA and how can United states fain these benefits.
Just take a look at Libya, General Gaddafi, he was best buddies with America and the West because he did what they wanted him to do, but the minute the rules changed and he wanted to do something for his country, they overthrow him for same the same reason as they put him on there. Just pure hypocrites.
Or something to do with nations that reject the US petrol dollar or centralized banking...
Lool, Libyans overthrew Gaddafi and dragged him through the streets.
They were tired of Gaddafi dictatorship.
Hes right..same as saddam.happy to supply him with weapons whren it suited them.the worlds police thats the united states..
MEHDI, YOU ARE UNBIASED, KNOWLEDGEABLE, WELL RESEARCHED AND VERY FOCUS. YOU ARE THE BEST AT WHAT YOU DO IN THIS REGARD.
The imperialist is so out of touch. He knows he's in the wrong and he cares not about it, he is more concerned with his dreams of empire crumbling before his eyes.
Great crowd. Young and smart. Brilliant interviewer.
Give him credits for showing up for some tough questioning
Oh hes getting paid gracefully to take this beating. Just like any other politician.
Quite a show! One can see how Empire just doesn't care if it is out of touch. Congratulations to Mr. Hasan and the team that produced this!
Very impressive interview.well done Hasan. We have the most understanding what America did and still doing in Latin America and why. Knowledge is power
Thank you Mehdi Hasan
mehdi is such a brilliant journo I have ever seen.extraordinarily talented
He is childish. Try to make childish, insulting jokes.
@@farzana6676 most of the interviewees lie in such a way that insults mehdi’s and the viewer’s intelligence, so it’s understandable.
@@hcaballero1992 No. Mehdi always try to talk over the interviewee. You are not supposed to hear interviewers voice more than the guest.
Yes we need to get out of South America. We have no business trying to run any other nations. We need to get our globalist corporations out of all other countries too. I agree with the young lady wearing glasses and has pretty long hair. American Corporations should be held responsible for their actions and damages performed in foreign nations. eg., oil leaks into their rivers, crimes committed, and other laws that the US maintains within its' own borders. As American businesses they reflect our values...and I'm not happy about their abuses. .. I'm 100% American.
This journalist is absolutely godsend awesome 😎
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account?

I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
He's nothing more than a mouth piece for Qatar.
"Do you know what white propaganda means? It's advertising" :'D I nearly fell of my chair laughing
You will never see this kind of discussion in the US media. The US has been meddling in Latin America since the beginning of time.
USA needs to get out of other countries mind their business
"USA needs to get out of other countries mind their business" This statement is a contradiction.
@Brian It means he needs to "mind his business" and not comment on the USA
I have never see another journalist like you. Today there are no journalists in the west you are simple the greatest. I absolutely love watching your program. You are ready and well organized. Keep up the good work

How refreshing, an interviewer playing hardball and armed with facts! I am retired military and live in Central American, I see the negative results of U.S. nation building throughout Central and South America.
LOVE watching this type of florid, red faced american politician squirm. But there are others who should be on the hot seat.
I was actually feeling sorry for him by 39:36

After 100 some years , yeah i think its time to come home
Hahaha, at around 3:00. "Unfortunately, yes." As if the US "liberation" is this great burden on the US.
he looks drunk. I don't blame him. I'd need a stiff drink before defending the indefensible.
Notice how often Reich blinks every time he opens his mouth. Classic tell that someone is lying.

It's become comical watching Otto dodging questions. The way he answers questions and everyone just laughs
Listening to this posted in late 2014 video in late 2019. Looking back and making comparisons really gives you insight in regards to 'score keeping' i.e. who was actually bs'ing, particularly worded questions, who continues to shill, ect.

Mehdi Hassan is boss
This is how I like to see politicians interviewed
Hey!!!!!!!! More drug trade emanating from Afghanistan under the US watch. :)
Such a great interview.
The US should leave Venezuela to their own destiny. Further, the US should stand down and give the world a peace of mind. Otherwise 10 years down the road, we will still be debating about the new mistake by the President of US. It would appear that every POTUS carried baggage full of dirty linen to their grave, and Trump is mo exception.
'America' has been interfering in central , south and north american affairs for a century. Evidence of their involvement has made these countries worse. They have also involved themselves in the middle east, and every country who gets their 'help' is worse off.
Absolutely, we should mind our own business !
Is there a subtitled versión of this show? I would like to share this video with some friends who only speak spanish
Gr8 interview!!!
this guy is getting redder as the interview goes on!
i wish Tulsi Gabbard was up on that stage with that guy
There is NOT FREE PRESS even in the USA😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now USA will be cornered. USA has been protected Latin America.
The fact that he lied that the contras didnt do any wrong is simply funny as a Nicaraguan i laugh
Otto is blinking eyes like crazy , a sign of lying.
Otto Reich is not a very smart man. I say that because he showed up to the broadcast. How could he not know this was going to happen? :o)
Exactly - just a typical overconfident fascist.
Wow this was a bold interview...
But vary educational history... wow...
mehdi you are absolute fantastic.
Loved this interview finally we call the USA on their bull..Thanks Mehdi.
This man should be charge for WAR CRIMES and LOCKED UP ....HE'S LIEING!!! LIEING !!!! AND CONTINUES TO LIE !!! With a Red Face !!!
Every Latino must watch this, North American, central and South American.
By far, the best journalist. Brilliant guy. Hats off to you sir.
This guy turned beet red out of embarisment he and his evil cronies has brought upon the usa
Everytime I look at this old guy, I get a motivation to train myself and read books to hurt the US imperialism at its heart.

Average American: "The U.S. is in South America?"
Wow Al Jazzera is awesome!
Why the show was discontinued? We need more!!
Bravo! Mr. Hasan...
Accountability! how embarrassing & shameful :(
I almost use that phrase: Otto Reichs got owned!
i wish you have similar program on Ethiopia in the last 28 years to the present day!
funny thing is that Bill Mahar called Latin America our back yard and Ann Coulter on his show said we should stay out of Latin America.
I really love ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Hasan Mehdi. The best straightforward journalist ever!
loll ...Nicaragua not Nicaraguria...lol
Wooow!!!!
it's Nicauguaragua
LOVE watching this type
As a Canadian who regularly visits Cuba. The American embargo on Cuba is inhumane and America should be shamed in the world and not allowed to rewrite history.

I was there 😄
The interviewer approaches this dialog in the stance of a prosecuting attorney. It is not an attempt to exchange information as much as an effort to prove a case and discredit the "witness"
It's a debate. He's an Oxford graduate, trained in Oxford's standards of debate.
Valkyrie Sardo its called head to fucking head...what do you think it means! It means lock horns and debate damn it. Get a clue.
If you have things in your closet, you don't want people to know, don't go head to head.
Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What did the US do to help the people of Latin American? The Army helped the prior President of Venezuela to commit crimes against Humanity. The US gave asylum to that president in Miami.
Thank you so much, Mehdy. THOROUGHLY DISCREDITED, EMBARRASED AND HUMILLIATED.
Old Otto didn't care for many of the facts cited by Medhi so he resorted to the old Republican ploy changing facts to fit his "theories." In fact Otto thought everyone needed to get with the program and use his facts. Medhi should have called him on that.
Latin America has never asked the u.s government to help them in their internal affairs.
Mehdi Hasan is a great journalist. Good to see him push back on the usual US bs rethoric.
Agreed, but I still get the feeling it's not enough. It's as if he's doing all the heavy lifting for critical journalists. I commend him for that, but it's also sad to see he's basically the only one doing it on this level.
anytime mehdi is about to be proven wrong he says "we've got to move on"
There is a case for US to review it's foreign policy to ensure more effective global policing. Unfortunately it's approach is often predicated on sowing discord to change regimes with no regard for collateral.
Thank you for asking questions our press are afraid to !
Hasan is brilliant!
Excellent questioning by Mehdi Hassan to expose the gross human rights abuses, genocides perpetrated by the US (Military Industrial Complex, CIA and MNC -lobby)-supported dictatorships/ regimes in Latin America ! Its probably begs a rhetoric question though-- that if it was not the USA , but any other imperialistic, hedgemonistic super- power-having the same capacity to influence the fate of millions of citizens of the South American nations---would that power do any better or worse !!???
The host is quick. Witty and prepared.
He said that voters were forced to vote for Chavez as they were threatened by his government while later in the interview he says that Latin American people elect whoever they want to. This guy is not just a liar but an inconsistent one as well.
i like how mehdi hasan always like to paint everything black and white, when the real world doesn't really work that way nowadays. good job at interrogating all your guests.
Actually, Hasan portrays all of them in various shades of gray. If you actually knew the topic they're discussing (R2P, Al-Maliki's blunders, and this video), you can clearly see that there are undeniable facts that makes his guests tongue-twisted in their bid to justify the unjustifiable. I think that the guests have been informed before-hand of the ordeal they're facing, otherwise, they could have told Hasan in front of his audience that a particular question has not been agreed upon, or that the guest could simply walk out. There are, however, people who just wants to hear what they want to hear. That's why for them hearing the truth is painting something black/white. Sure, there are nuances but it still remains the fact that injustice has been committed and someone has got to be held accountable.
True, Nick.
ScholarGnome You have no idea of what's happening between the US and some countries in Latin-America so hush! this man Mehdi just proves to be a fool and likes to talk without even doing proper research.
Eli P. So what exactly do you think is happening between the u.s. and some countries, other than those countries prefering to exist without overbearing u.s. control and the u.s. reacting to it?
'Mehdi just proves to be a fool' How?
'and likes to talk without even doing proper research', Which research did he overlook?
