I said this from the beginning. The west organised a coup against ukraine. Put in a westen puppet and created a war whit Russia were there was peace. Ever sinds ww2 Russia wanted to become part of tge west. Part of nato and European Union. The west never wanted that. And know they are using ukraine as a tool to sabotage Russia and hope they crinle so that westetn oligarchs can steak tge wealth of ukraine abd Russia. There will come a time when Ukrainian will realise that Russia is not their enemy. Russia is happy of ukraine as a nutrial party and that they could have peace. They will resent the West for using them like that.

Is Russia to blame?

Let's get comfortable now and turn on our television . . Suppression and Attacks After severe suppression of human rights for ethnic Russian people who are a majority in the Donbass area, as in most of eastern Ukraine, they and their local government desired to function as an autotominous state in order to lift this suppression against them. This began to occur after the installation of a new Ukranian government by corrupt means with the help of US and other western network involvement. The new Ukrainian government initiated attacks against them in response. False information will frequently state this is a result of warmaking from both sides, while Russian forces did not enter until the year 2022. Supporting narratives require repetition rather than comprehension in the context of preceding events in order to create a western consensus in favor of support for this illegitimate government placed into power by corrupt means. US Support and Attacks The local government had no military force to speak of, even while the US has provided military training and weapons to the Ukrainian government during most of this period. Any action at all on the part of eastern Ukraine regions under attack has been through provocation and attempts to defend and thwart further attacks against their people.

Russia now is involved with dozens of other nations who want to conduct finance and trade similarly outside of the dollar and other fiat debt instruments to maintain and increase national GDP and a growing economy -- freedom of a real kind beyond the assumptions we claim out of ignorance. Not since JFK have we even made the attempt.

Russia did not "invade" Crimea in 2014 in breach of the agreement of the 1990s. By staging the Maidan coup, on top of already exapnding NATO, the US had already nullified those agreements. It was the Crimeans themselves who quickly decided to secede from Ukraine after Maidan and join Russia.
Total BS. The Maidan revolution was not staged by the US. There were 100,000 Ukrainians protesting on the streets and they were being shot at aand murdered by the Russians backed Government. Get it right.

Not to forget that NATO membership was already offered to Ukraine by G.W. Bush in 2008 at the Bucharest NATO summit, much to the dismay of Angela Merkel and Francois Mitterrand. And then there was the RAND Corp. paper of 2019 on how to overextend Russia that became the blueprint for Sullivan and Blinken.

As tensions escalated in Georgia after the NATO Bucharest summit in 4/2008, Georgia attacked South Ossetia in August 2008. South Ossetia was also a pro-Russian separatist region like Donbass. So the Russians had already experienced an attack on a pro-Russian separatist region in Georgia and they knew they would expect it in Donbass as well.
Everybody seems compelled, even if they acknowledge that the Russians were provoked to say something like "Yeah, but the Russians were guilty too." No. The Russians had NO options left, or at least not any that a sane and honest person would admit could work to avoid an even worse war within a very short time. The west's deliberate failure to enforce the Minsk agreements had already demonstrated the completely worthless nature of western guarantees, yet Putin made multiple attempts to avoid a war to defend Russia's security space. Every attempt was rejected, clearly in a deliberate attempt to leave Russia no option other than war. Because the Biden administration wanted the excuse to collapse the Russian economy through sanctions. In those circumstances, Russia was literally forced to defend the viability of its security by invading Ukraine. Russia was justified, NATO was not.
Many people understand who the real agressor is : Ukraine and the West : the treatment of the eastern population as second hand and shelling them when they protested, and secondly, the possibility that NATO would expand and put weapons on the border with Russia. Russia did not expand into Europe, but NATO went eastward and expanded to the borders of Russia. But these people always seem to feel the need to state that Russia is at fault with invading. I think that they are scared for their reputation….. what is more crazy is that if the US invades, it never is condemned by the majority. The US has started so many wars, but did you ever notice their sport athletes not having the US flag next their name ???? Not being able to compete,for their country ??? Hypocrisy.

Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity. In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas. If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy. Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time. Russia's national security was compromised once NATO began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining NATO was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns. 20th September, 2021: Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO. NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter). We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster? Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest. Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland. Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”. Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it. Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country. Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list. Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list. There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence). The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present. Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave. Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) R.I.P. The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims). The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter. I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment.

Reality-check, here... Completely irrelevant, to the issue of the non-expansion of NATO, that a formal, written document, to that effect, was not produced: (i) verbal contracts have the same force, as written ones (and all the minutes of the meetings respective of the issue, testify to that contract); (ii) not having any honour, self-respect, or integrity, the U.S. would not have respected formally written contracts, either, Minsk 1 & 2 being case & point... In summary, the Collective West is utterly repugnant, not deserving anything more, than pure disdain and contempt...

In democracies there is more than one TV Channel, main political parties and main Christian denominations aren't banned, no mass extrajudicial killings, disappearances and torture, men from 18 to 60 aren't banned from leaving the country, people aren't rounded up in the streets and dragged to their death. Democracies hold elections after all. Well, it's a quote from The Time article. Zelenskyy top advisers say about him: “He deludes himself, ” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that. It is immovable, verging on the messianic.” According to the Economist Zelenskyy is literally screaming at his generals at this point. One Austrian artist was in a similar state in 1945 . Zelenskyy "achievements" to date: 790,000 Ukrainians are dead, 3x that mangled and crippled for life, half of Ukraine's population is living as refugees scattered all over Europe and Russia right now, they're drafting women because they've run out of men to kidnap off the streets. NYT wrote about these mass kidnappings that were happening only in Zelenskyy Ukraine and Hitler's Germany in 1945 in an article ‘People Snatchers’. According to Zelenskyy latest statement only joining NATO or nukes can save his hide. These are lunatic ramblings of a desperate dictator before the imminent collapse of the regime.
Hearing Mr. Snider and others saying that Russia is to blame for the invasion I really, really, really would like to know what exactly Russia should have done facing the very probable Ukranian military operation in Donbas and maybe also in Crimea? The only time I heard an opinion on that was when Prof. Mearsheimer was confronted with this question and he kind of un enthusiastically said: "They should have tried to talk to Macron more". I won't comment on that. So, please, as a pacifist, I am asking what should Russia have done? Secondly, Ukraine is not going to blame the US soon. I know very many Ukranians abroad and even abroad maybe one person in 100 is doubting the Ukranian/ western mixed nazi/ demonizing the Russians propaganda. The western sponsors will find the proper scapegoat for the Ukranian defeat.
Le but des us et même de l'Allemagne depuis très longtemps est de diviser la Russie comme la Yougoslavie pour pouvoir l'exploiter. Le reste sont des détails. Regardez le développement des églises penta, évangélistes,...depuis 1990 et leur financement. Curieux et prémonitoire. (déjà tenté au Niger en 1973 sans succès)
I think that was Hilary Clinton one, who claims 10 maybe even 20 hears ago, that it is "Just unfair, thatis Russia so big and that Russia have so many assets". She "propose" back than, that those assets should be more fairly dividend among more stated. I believe, she thought in first line that USA should have a biggest "slice of cake".
I have only listened to half of it yet, but I really hope you don‘t forget to mention the plans to regime change Russia through sanctions and war which is definitely strategic aggression. And considering this, there is no question as to who is responsible for this disaster and what Ukraine‘s sorry role actually is: yet another country being abused and sacrificed for US hegemonic interests. You two understand Russia‘s reasons for 2014 and 2022 - and I concede that these actions weren‘t legal according to international law - however, you can see how a self-defence narrative holds true to a large extent as well.
Russia invoke UN Article 51: the right to self-defence before beginning the SMO in Ukraine. Hence, if challenged, the Russians could argue that their action was legal.
Zelensky is not a true Ukranian .. he is not Slavic or orthodox He is using the Slavs to weaken Slavic Russia Like a janaserry that the ottomans used ..
The Poles were told by the UK and France to be supported against Germany, and despite having received little help, but great suffering are still licking Britains boots. Those people infected by a certain extreme ideology will never turn against the west and reunite with Russia
The Budapest memorendum is not a treaty : Ukraine refused to sign it. And even a (hypothetical) treaty of respect of the border is not a white card to kill the ethnic Russians of the Donbass for 8 years, from 2014 till 2022.
I keep hearing people talk about " Giving back the regions of Ukraine Russia has taken" Russia does not have the lawful right to give these regions back, because the people voted in internationally recognised elections by a huge majority to became part of Russia! All these regions were historically part of Russia anyway. Everything that has occurred is within international law. So why is every body talking about this as a negotion subject; when Russia will never ever consider such a thing; and nor should it under any circumstances.

Pacifism is such a cop-out in this situation. Imagine somebody taking a gun, loading it, taking it off safety, aiming it at a child's head and then pulling the trigger. At what point do you have the moral right to shot this guy? And if somebody shoots a guy that was aiming at a child's head, would you say "Oh, I'm against violence. So it was wrong to shoot this guy. Yeah, sure, part of the blame lies on the guy, who was aiming at a child's head, but still you should not have done this." He admitted that Russia had legitimate concerns, Ukraine was massing troops, etc. When was it right to do it? After a 100 000 dead civilians? After a 1 000 000 dead civilians? Never?
The issue is that "historical narratives," once established in millions of brains, are difficult to counter. Overwhelmingly people will always fall back onto "the narrative" they feel comfortable with, not the one which sounds like it turns their "side" (own governments and states) into the role of the opportunistic exploiter. Reality? The reality of strategy is that the US/NATO would happily fund the Ukraine to "fight to the last Ukrainian soldier" and that it has a historical example as France after May/June 1940. France surrendered, even though London (her ally) would have been very pleased if France had "fought to the last French soldier" even as GB withdrew their soldiers and refused arial support to France. The historical reality as SYSTEMS using STRATEGY rhymes, because in both cases most people believe that London fought to save the planet, same as the USA/NATO today. Wrong. London fought WW2 (after 3rd Sep 1939) to protect her Empire, and the USA/collective West support the Ukraine to keep the status quo intact, as "US primacy in the world" (Wolfowitz Doctrine), not because of saving any poor people anywhere.
T. Snider seems to have the need to buy his right to say the US by was responsible for the war by constantly stating that Russia is to blame. A lot of good people do this, like stating nevertheless Putin is a criminal, and they are pacifists. But they do not say what Russia should have done as an alternative to the SMO, or what would have happened if Russia kept quiet. Even Chomsky had this very comfortable position.
Well spotted, many people miss this point. Snider actually went as far as saying Russia's invasion breached the Budapest agreement whilst also pointing out that it had already been breached before they invaded.
It was the USA who violated the Budapest memorandum. Its enough to read it. The USA promised to respect Ukraine's sovereignty. After a coup Russia had to choose which side to support, because Crimea and Donbass refused to recognize the regime .
Russia and Ukraine used to have The Frienship and Cooperation Treaty. Under that Treaty the sides took obligations do not make anything that could harm the interests of the other side.
As a Yugoslav I am living proof of this. We looked to the US as an ally. I have very different feelings about the US today. I know the part they played in the breakup of my country. When you try to explain this to people they just do not want to know. Today the former countries who were part of Yugoslavia are not celebrating their “freedom”.
@@vazeuax If they were pragmatic, they would reject NATO.

@@adamiskandar5107 this time they were thinking Russia will fall and eager to jump the train asap in order to get themselves some leftovers after West's victory. So yeah, still "pragmatic".
But Russia did not invade Crimea, Russia was already in Crimea (legally). And they were allowed (legally) to carry on policing actions to secure the Black Sea fleet, which is what they did.
Russia did not "invade Crimea." As Putin said later in an interview when asked about the "little green men" : "We sent no one. We were already there. We have always been there. We have a base there, in Sebastopol. Quite a large one. You may have noticed it." Total deaths in the Russian re-annexation of Crimea? Three. (3). 2 Ukrainian officers who picked a gunfight with pistols against Russian troops carrying machine guns, and one Sevastopol Defence Force (Russian) trooper
The war in ukraine isn't about ukraine, it always was about Russia. EU always wanted to lure Russia into a war, thinking that it will shatter it. The war is price of foolish, childish plans, but all the death toll is a result of EU's pride, that will not acknowledge their defeat.
Great conversation, very enlightening, but as most news of war is, very sad. All those (mostly young) lives lost or maimed. There are people involved in this that are just wicked.
Defense was the central strategy of the Soviet Union (Russia) in its victory over Germany. As a result, even if Berlin fell in the siege and Nazi Germany was finally lost, the Soviet Union could not control Eastern Europe and collapsed under the weight of Eastern European domination. Russia's strength lies in its vast territorial space, and if it were to embrace the rebellious Ukrainian people there, the cost would be an excessive burden and would result in Russia suffering. Maintaining an expanded "empire" is neither possible nor desirable for Russia today. In addition, because of the widespread anti-Russian or anti-Putin sentiment in Europe (perhaps fostered by what Professor Nye calls "soft power" academically, and the truth is "propaganda"), Russia's territorial expansion through the annexation of Ukraine will further strengthen the divide between Western Europe and Russia. For Putin, both the United States and Britain are objects of "dislike and wariness," but building good relations with Western Europe, especially Germany and France, is essential for Russia's development in all aspects of politics, economy, culture, and history. The emphasis on Western Europe is also important for Russia, which borders China with a long border (7,000 km) and a huge population of 1.4 billion, as part of its policy toward China. Since the ultimate aim of the United States is to weaken or divide Russia from the division between Russia and Western Europe, it is also possible to weaken not only Russia but also Western Europe, centered on Germany and France, and strengthen dependence on the United States, thereby perpetuating the hegemony of the United States unilaterally*. I think the nationalist Putin fully understands this.
No they won't!!!! Ukrainians will NEVER hate their Western lotds - at least those who started all of this. Good example are Polish - admiring the Germans...
Good point Pascal, that tha combination of sending NATO weapons to Ukraine, but keeping out of formal written obligations, has made Ukraine into a "ground zero" test area for a conventional conflict with Russia.
Are you kidding? Really? What Washington and the collective west are doing in Ukraine, they have done all over Africa and have been doing all over the Middle-East. You have not come to terms with what these western governments are. Something is fundamentally wrong with their thought-process. The British empire before the American empire was same. Interestingly, the US was established by migrants mainly from Europe. Do not forget that early American settlers wiped out Native Americans in same way Israelites are wiping out Palestinians now. So, in terms of their meanness, their querilousness, there is no difference between the Americans and the Europeans. They are one and the same.
The strategy from day one was to separate Russia from Europe and it has worked brilliantly. Victoria Nuland's $5 billion is chickenfeed compared to what has flowed into the American arms industry as a result of the conflict. That was the icing on the cake.
Technicaly speaking, France and the British Empire declared war on Germany in 1939 - so were France and the UK the aggressors in WWII? Aren't we "denying" french and british co-responsibility to WWII? On the other side: when Germany declared war on the United States, was it completely unprovoked? What I am trying to say with this is that there's only so much that one can do with diplomacy - of which the Russian government tried every possible way in my opnion. Yet, there's also the underlying motive behind any conflict which might explain why we sometimes understand that an military conflict is inevitable. That's also why we - me included - usually justify most allied "aggressions" that happened in context to WWII. The culprit behind all the mess we're currently in is crystal clear to me. Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote a book about it for crying out loud. The Russians had to go to war because we Europeans let them down badly. We are just like the Arab league but Putin is refusing to become Ghadaffi. The shame is on us - there's no "two ways" about it.
🙏 Thanks for this great interview It's very well laid out how this all went down and where the underlying causes are exposing themselves! Great work! Peace and Love to You all!🙏💖🐺

It is the moral stand of the US while knowingly Ukraine is not going to be allowed in the Nato, knowing that casualties to the Ukrainians and Russians may destroy demographics of the Ukrainian, but for "what" of the US interest to encourage the Ukrainian to fight till the last Ukrainian. When Ukrainian wakes up, when Russians wakes up to recognize the recklessness of the US led Nato who want to see the shrinkage of the Slavic populations!
The problem in Europe is the USA/NATO. Europe should also see to it that the US troops disappear from Europe, because Europe does not need them and besides, the Americans have no business in Europe. But Europe needs a defensive alliance where Europe can protect itself against England, the dachshund of the USA and the USA. The USA is the aggressor that there is always war in Europe.
Why not call a spade a spade? The "rules-based international order" is simply a euphemism for "the empire." Some would call it a euphemism for the Fourth Reich. So why not at least call it imperialism, which is what it essentially is? It is also a justification for imperialism, the contemporary version of "the white man's burden." As long as Banderism and neo-fascism are not made illegal and formally banned in Ukraine, there will never be any unified narrative about the war. Moreover, since the US has literally NO credibility with Russia (or with the surviving Amerindians, either, for that matter), it is difficult to imagine any agreement about the meaning of the war in Ukraine in the near future. The US deep state simply will not allow it. Until the US deep state, which is much, much more powerful than any president and which still believes in "manifest destiny," decides to give up "the empire," there will never be a secure, lasting peace in Ukraine -- or in Europe...or in the world.

Is Russia to blame?
Imagine in reverse if a rogue government were installed in Mexico by Russia that proceeds to eliminate all normal human rights for American relatives and expats living there, who object, try to organize and then are attacked over a period of 8 years with thousands dying not far from our border -- how long would we accept those circumstances? . . 8 years? Not likely. What excuse or blame on ethnic Americans would justify the attacks against them and their murder by the thousands?
Very quickly the belligerent nature of the installed government proved the need to take control of Crimea where one of Russia's most important military installations exists. The continued buildup of Ukraine's military with weapons and training by the US has been a serious and increasing concern with the ability at any time to install nuclear tipped missiles that could claim justification through NATO membership.
How is JFK related to the current crisis in Ukraine? . . The character of an individual or nation is measured by their works . . development of gold-backed currency and a legitimate trading network is one of the most dangerous activities that any elected leader can attempt. JFK is the last president to have the courage to do the same in this country -- issuing silver-backed certificates that would retain their value and replace the dollar over time . . effectively eliminating the Fed and restoring a free and independent US economy with real currency. Very few other nations have had control over their money supply . . These are -- Libya and Gaddafi the "terrorist" had created gold-backed currency and a legitimate fund and trading network on that basis to support African nations and replace World Bank IMF loan sharking schemes that bankrupt these nations to maintain the status quo . . Syria, a formerly free and peaceful nation in control of it's own economy and money supply . . and Russia -- also in the process of creating gold-backed currency and a trading network with other BRIC nations -- real currency and a free economy as the true litmus test of freedom -- something that we haven't had the courage to attempt since JFK . . as any means must be found to create crisis and war in the region as US/Western networks installed the current Ukrainian regime in 2014 and have provided military training and weapons since at least 2016. Eight long years during the bombing of the Donbass region and the murder of thousands of ethnic Russians -- proves Russia's efforts to find any other solution to this . .
. . And that's about it -- all others enjoy as we do the benefits of legalized counterfeit "fiat" currencies that funnel the wealth of human exchange out of our economies so that we don't retain what we produce -- in the greatest of resources -- the human resource. Let's get comfortable now and turn on our television . .
Suppression and Attacks
After severe suppression of human rights for ethnic Russian people who are a majority in the Donbass area, as in most of eastern Ukraine, they and their local government desired to function as an autotominous state in order to lift this suppression against them. This began to occur after the installation of a new Ukranian government by corrupt means with the help of US and other western network involvement. The new Ukrainian government initiated attacks against them in response. False information will frequently state this is a result of warmaking from both sides, while Russian forces did not enter until the year 2022. Supporting narratives require repetition rather than comprehension in the context of preceding events in order to create a western consensus in favor of support for this illegitimate government placed into power by corrupt means.
US Support and Attacks
The local government had no military force to speak of, even while the US has provided military training and weapons to the Ukrainian government during most of this period. Any action at all on the part of eastern Ukraine regions under attack has been through provocation and attempts to defend and thwart further attacks against their people.
No Conspiracy is Necessary to Support Corruption
What a coincidence that those interests intimately involved in the laundering of drug money in hundreds of billions of dollars yearly -- and the logistics of contraband in hand with intel networks (now pretty much public knowledge) -- are the same interests controlling fiat currencies and finance in most nations . . and those few exceptions having a free economy under their own currency being where crisis and intervention by any means become necessary -- including network activity in Libya, Syria and now Russia by proxy to create war and intervention by any means. Security narratives for the compartmentalized function of government activity remain in support by which the most substantial form of freedom in those nations developing a legitimate free economy with real currency must be attacked -- and it's no surprise that the dollar and other fiat currency prevail once again in the aftermath, no conspiracy necessary in the normalized conduct of war and supporting narratives in the name of security. Russia now is involved with dozens of other nations who want to conduct finance and trade similarly outside of the dollar and other fiat debt instruments to maintain and increase national GDP and a growing economy -- freedom of a real kind beyond the assumptions we claim out of ignorance. Not since JFK have we even made the attempt.
Normalized Human Behavior and Acceptance
Normalization rather than conspiracy is how influence and corruption create and take precedence so that awareness is hostage to the needs for anything other than ourselves to define what is real and acceptable -- the need for any form of consensus to rule us unaware lest we ever accept responsibility. There is a literal flood of disinformation in western media reports and online sources circulating similar information -- yet the motives are clear for all who retain the ability to look at our recent history elsewhere and what corrupt interests have to gain in support of another war with potential for dangerous escalation that Russia has done everything possible to avoid. Imagine in reverse if a rogue government were installed in Mexico by Russia that proceeds to eliminate all normal human rights for American relatives and expats living there, who object, try to organize and then are attacked over a period of 8 years with thousands dying not far from our border -- how long would we accept those circumstances? . . 8 years? Not likely. What excuse or blame on ethnic Americans would justify the attacks against them and their murder by the thousands?
Risk of Escalation and Nuclear Warfare
How much example do we need for the kind of information we have received from the US government and our media for our involvement -- and the horrible result by which Russia exercised great restraint in trying to find any other possible means than war during all of that time? -- knowing how they would be presented in western media and to the world, giving justification for those who may want to initiate a wider conflict if enough people can be led in support. Will we support even more involvement and enter into war with Russia with heavy risk of escalation using nuclear weapons?
Fascism by Definition Exists Today
Sites such as Wikipedia and similar sources have never been an accurate and unbiased source for controversial issues and events, nor has corporate media retained a culture of true journalistic enterprise. In support of security narratives, a fascist environment has been present with collusion of government involvement and corporate interests by which we don't retain freedom for journalism in this country -- even as independent firms and journalists are frequently threatened and do get censored and canceled from corporate social media platforms as well as payment platforms, making it difficult to function freely in a country that claims to be a democracy. This is the definition of fascism in support of crisis and war that can be inflicted outside of our borders -- even leading to the threat of World War 3 and nuclear warfare.
For the West, it was never about Ukraine or its people, it was just about going against Russia. And Ukraine happened to be the best pawn.

war is provoked, but you still blame the one who is actually provoked 😵💫
As tensions escalated in Georgia after the NATO Bucharest summit in 4/2008, Georgia attacked South Ossetia in August 2008. South Ossetia was also a pro-Russian separatist region like Donbass. So the Russians had already experienced an attack on a pro-Russian separatist region in Georgia and they knew they would expect it in Donbass as well.
Who was it that trained and equipped that Georgian military? Yes, the USA and Israel.
And even the EU admitted that Georgia started
Everybody seems compelled, even if they acknowledge that the Russians were provoked to say something like "Yeah, but the Russians were guilty too." No. The Russians had NO options left, or at least not any that a sane and honest person would admit could work to avoid an even worse war within a very short time. The west's deliberate failure to enforce the Minsk agreements had already demonstrated the completely worthless nature of western guarantees, yet Putin made multiple attempts to avoid a war to defend Russia's security space. Every attempt was rejected, clearly in a deliberate attempt to leave Russia no option other than war. Because the Biden administration wanted the excuse to collapse the Russian economy through sanctions. In those circumstances, Russia was literally forced to defend the viability of its security by invading Ukraine. Russia was justified, NATO was not.
Yes. This compulsion to apportion blame is noticeable.
But 200,000 innocent Russia civilians have been murdered by the NAZIS with Artillery

Many people understand who the real agressor is : Ukraine and the West : the treatment of the eastern population as second hand and shelling them when they protested, and secondly, the possibility that NATO would expand and put weapons on the border with Russia. Russia did not expand into Europe, but NATO went eastward and expanded to the borders of Russia. But these people always seem to feel the need to state that Russia is at fault with invading. I think that they are scared for their reputation….. what is more crazy is that if the US invades, it never is condemned by the majority. The US has started so many wars, but did you ever notice their sport athletes not having the US flag next their name ???? Not being able to compete,for their country ??? Hypocrisy.
Nobody is justified.There is a natural hatred for people of this region for other people in this region….for obvious reasons.
Very sad indeed. No one should have to die for the interests of others.
As per usual in war
Well what was Russia supposed to do? Why is everyone ok with blaming the victim?
Surrender, dissolute and allowed Shell, BP, Blackrock, Monsanto etc to plunder it, of course.
"Your guilt is that I want to eat" - said the Wolf to the Lamb (from a poem by Ivan Krylov).
Yeah, these people always say that Russia didn't have to invade. But when you ask them what options Russia had, they go silent.
What victim?? They allowed themselves to be used as a hostile entity against Russia. What about the donbass victims dying in span of 8 yrs that Ukraine perpetuated. Read back the policy of Ukrainian leaders since 2014. They were itching for a fight and that is what they got.
Is Russia to blame?
Imagine in reverse if a rogue government were installed in Mexico by Russia that proceeds to eliminate all normal human rights for American relatives and expats living there, who object, try to organize and then are attacked over a period of 8 years with thousands dying not far from our border -- how long would we accept those circumstances? . . 8 years? Not likely. What excuse or blame on ethnic Americans would justify the attacks against them and their murder by the thousands?
Very quickly the belligerent nature of the installed government proved the need to take control of Crimea where one of Russia's most important military installations exists. The continued buildup of Ukraine's military with weapons and training by the US has been a serious and increasing concern with the ability at any time to install nuclear tipped missiles that could claim justification through NATO membership.

Suppression and Attacks
After severe suppression of human rights for ethnic Russian people who are a majority in the Donbass area, as in most of eastern Ukraine, they and their local government desired to function as an autotominous state in order to lift this suppression against them. This began to occur after the installation of a new Ukranian government by corrupt means with the help of US and other western network involvement. The new Ukrainian government initiated attacks against them in response. False information will frequently state this is a result of warmaking from both sides, while Russian forces did not enter until the year 2022. Supporting narratives require repetition rather than comprehension in the context of preceding events in order to create a western consensus in favor of support for this illegitimate government placed into power by corrupt means.
US Support and Attacks
The local government had no military force to speak of, even while the US has provided military training and weapons to the Ukrainian government during most of this period. Any action at all on the part of eastern Ukraine regions under attack has been through provocation and attempts to defend and thwart further attacks against their people.
No Conspiracy is Necessary to Support Corruption
What a coincidence that those interests intimately involved in the laundering of drug money in hundreds of billions of dollars yearly -- and the logistics of contraband in hand with intel networks (now pretty much public knowledge) -- are the same interests controlling fiat currencies and finance in most nations . . and those few exceptions having a free economy under their own currency being where crisis and intervention by any means become necessary -- including network activity in Libya, Syria and now Russia by proxy to create war and intervention by any means. Security narratives for the compartmentalized function of government activity remain in support by which the most substantial form of freedom in those nations developing a legitimate free economy with real currency must be attacked -- and it's no surprise that the dollar and other fiat currency prevail once again in the aftermath, no conspiracy necessary in the normalized conduct of war and supporting narratives in the name of security. Russia now is involved with dozens of other nations who want to conduct finance and trade similarly outside of the dollar and other fiat debt instruments to maintain and increase national GDP and a growing economy -- freedom of a real kind beyond the assumptions we claim out of ignorance. Not since JFK have we even made the attempt.
Normalized Human Behavior and Acceptance
Normalization rather than conspiracy is how influence and corruption create and take precedence so that awareness is hostage to the needs for anything other than ourselves to define what is real and acceptable -- the need for any form of consensus to rule us unaware lest we ever accept responsibility. There is a literal flood of disinformation in western media reports and online sources circulating similar information -- yet the motives are clear for all who retain the ability to look at our recent history elsewhere and what corrupt interests have to gain in support of another war with potential for dangerous escalation that Russia has done everything possible to avoid. Imagine in reverse if a rogue government were installed in Mexico by Russia that proceeds to eliminate all normal human rights for American relatives and expats living there, who object, try to organize and then are attacked over a period of 8 years with thousands dying not far from our border -- how long would we accept those circumstances? . . 8 years? Not likely. What excuse or blame on ethnic Americans would justify the attacks against them and their murder by the thousands?
Risk of Escalation and Nuclear Warfare
How much example do we need for the kind of information we have received from the US government and our media for our involvement -- and the horrible result by which Russia exercised great restraint in trying to find any other possible means than war during all of that time? -- knowing how they would be presented in western media and to the world, giving justification for those who may want to initiate a wider conflict if enough people can be led in support. Will we support even more involvement and enter into war with Russia with heavy risk of escalation using nuclear weapons?
Fascism by Definition Exists Today
Sites such as Wikipedia and similar sources have never been an accurate and unbiased source for controversial issues and events, nor has corporate media retained a culture of true journalistic enterprise. In support of security narratives, a fascist environment has been present with collusion of government involvement and corporate interests by which we don't retain freedom for journalism in this country -- even as independent firms and journalists are frequently threatened and do get censored and canceled from corporate social media platforms as well as payment platforms, making it difficult to function freely in a country that claims to be a democracy. This is the definition of fascism in support of crisis and war that can be inflicted outside of our borders -- even leading to the threat of World War 3 and nuclear warfare.

Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity.
In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas.
If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy.
Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements.
Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time.
Russia's national security was compromised once NATO began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining NATO was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns.
20th September, 2021: Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO.
NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter).
We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.
Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster?
Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest.
Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland.
Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed.
Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”.
Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it.
Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country.
Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list.
Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list.
There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence).
The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present.
Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave.
Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) R.I.P.
The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims).
The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter.

This is exactly what is happening .
Reality-check, here... Completely irrelevant, to the issue of the non-expansion of NATO, that a formal, written document, to that effect, was not produced: (i) verbal contracts have the same force, as written ones (and all the minutes of the meetings respective of the issue, testify to that contract); (ii) not having any honour, self-respect, or integrity, the U.S. would not have respected formally written contracts, either, Minsk 1 & 2 being case & point... In summary, the Collective West is utterly repugnant, not deserving anything more, than pure disdain and contempt...

History started for this guy in February of 2022.
Yeah, Ukraine isn't a democracy. Far from it. In democracies there is more than one TV Channel, main political parties and main Christian denominations aren't banned, no mass extrajudicial killings, disappearances and torture, men from 18 to 60 aren't banned from leaving the country, people aren't rounded up in the streets and dragged to their death. Democracies hold elections after all. Well, it's a quote from The Time article. Zelenskyy top advisers say about him: “He deludes himself, ” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that. It is immovable, verging on the messianic.” According to the Economist Zelenskyy is literally screaming at his generals at this point. One Austrian artist was in a similar state in 1945 . Zelenskyy "achievements" to date: 790,000 Ukrainians are dead, 3x that mangled and crippled for life, half of Ukraine's population is living as refugees scattered all over Europe and Russia right now, they're drafting women because they've run out of men to kidnap off the streets. NYT wrote about these mass kidnappings that were happening only in Zelenskyy Ukraine and Hitler's Germany in 1945 in an article ‘People Snatchers’. According to Zelenskyy latest statement only joining NATO or nukes can save his hide. These are lunatic ramblings of a desperate dictator before the imminent collapse of the regime.
The US put Reinhard Gehlen in charge of NATO cold war intel and Operation Barbarossa Nazis in NATO so apparently not much changed since WW2.
Hearing Mr. Snider and others saying that Russia is to blame for the invasion I really, really, really would like to know what exactly Russia should have done facing the very probable Ukranian military operation in Donbas and maybe also in Crimea? The only time I heard an opinion on that was when Prof. Mearsheimer was confronted with this question and he kind of un enthusiastically said: "They should have tried to talk to Macron more". I won't comment on that. So, please, as a pacifist, I am asking what should Russia have done?
Secondly, Ukraine is not going to blame the US soon. I know very many Ukranians abroad and even abroad maybe one person in 100 is doubting the Ukranian/ western mixed nazi/ demonizing the Russians propaganda. The western sponsors will find the proper scapegoat for the Ukranian defeat.
The 500,000 dead Slavs do not care who started the war.
What a brilliant interview 🙏👏👏
Le but des us et même de l'Allemagne depuis très longtemps est de diviser la Russie comme la Yougoslavie pour pouvoir l'exploiter. Le reste sont des détails.
Regardez le développement des églises penta, évangélistes,...depuis 1990 et leur financement. Curieux et prémonitoire. (déjà tenté au Niger en 1973 sans succès)
For this reason alone, Russia should never trust the West again.
C'est un but des USA, pas de l'Allemagne.
Un autre but des USA avec cette guerre en Ukraine est de détruire l'Europe, Allemagne en premier.
I think that was Hilary Clinton one, who claims 10 maybe even 20 hears ago, that it is "Just unfair, thatis Russia so big and that Russia have so many assets". She "propose" back than, that those assets should be more fairly dividend among more stated. I believe, she thought in first line that USA should have a biggest "slice of cake".
I have only listened to half of it yet, but I really hope you don‘t forget to mention the plans to regime change Russia through sanctions and war which is definitely strategic aggression. And considering this, there is no question as to who is responsible for this disaster and what Ukraine‘s sorry role actually is: yet another country being abused and sacrificed for US hegemonic interests.
You two understand Russia‘s reasons for 2014 and 2022 - and I concede that these actions weren‘t legal according to international law - however, you can see how a self-defence narrative holds true to a large extent as well.
What is international law when it exists only for American interests ? When America bomb Serbia , was that within international law ?
Russia invoke UN Article 51: the right to self-defence before beginning the SMO in Ukraine. Hence, if challenged, the Russians could argue that their action was legal.
Zelensky is not a true Ukranian .. he is not Slavic or orthodox
He is using the Slavs to weaken Slavic Russia
Like a janaserry that the ottomans used ..
The Poles were told by the UK and France to be supported against Germany, and despite having received little help, but great suffering are still licking Britains boots.
Those people infected by a certain extreme ideology will never turn against the west and reunite with Russia
The Budapest memorendum is not a treaty : Ukraine refused to sign it.
And even a (hypothetical) treaty of respect of the border is not a white card to kill the ethnic Russians of the Donbass for 8 years, from 2014 till 2022.
I keep hearing people talk about " Giving back the regions of Ukraine Russia has taken" Russia does not have the lawful right to give these regions back, because the people voted in internationally recognised elections by a huge majority to became part of Russia! All these regions were historically part of Russia anyway. Everything that has occurred is within international law. So why is every body talking about this as a negotion subject; when Russia will never ever consider such a thing; and nor should it under any circumstances.

Thoroughly enjoyed that interview. Thanks Gentlemen.
Pacifism is such a cop-out in this situation.
Imagine somebody taking a gun, loading it, taking it off safety, aiming it at a child's head and then pulling the trigger.
At what point do you have the moral right to shot this guy?
And if somebody shoots a guy that was aiming at a child's head, would you say "Oh, I'm against violence. So it was wrong to shoot this guy. Yeah, sure, part of the blame lies on the guy, who was aiming at a child's head, but still you should not have done this."
He admitted that Russia had legitimate concerns, Ukraine was massing troops, etc.
When was it right to do it? After a 100 000 dead civilians? After a 1 000 000 dead civilians? Never?
The issue is that "historical narratives," once established in millions of brains, are difficult to counter. Overwhelmingly people will always fall back onto "the narrative" they feel comfortable with, not the one which sounds like it turns their "side" (own governments and states) into the role of the opportunistic exploiter.
Reality? The reality of strategy is that the US/NATO would happily fund the Ukraine to "fight to the last Ukrainian soldier" and that it has a historical example as France after May/June 1940. France surrendered, even though London (her ally) would have been very pleased if France had "fought to the last French soldier" even as GB withdrew their soldiers and refused arial support to France.
The historical reality as SYSTEMS using STRATEGY rhymes, because in both cases most people believe that London fought to save the planet, same as the USA/NATO today.
Wrong. London fought WW2 (after 3rd Sep 1939) to protect her Empire, and the USA/collective West support the Ukraine to keep the status quo intact, as "US primacy in the world" (Wolfowitz Doctrine), not because of saving any poor people anywhere.
It was clear 3 years ago, ukraine would lose
WE PLEAD ROR THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE TO FORGIVE US FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP THIS!
Excellent interview.
T. Snider seems to have the need to buy his right to say the US by was responsible for the war by constantly stating that Russia is to blame. A lot of good people do this, like stating nevertheless Putin is a criminal, and they are pacifists. But they do not say what Russia should have done as an alternative to the SMO, or what would have happened if Russia kept quiet. Even Chomsky had this very comfortable position.
Well spotted, many people miss this point. Snider actually went as far as saying Russia's invasion breached the Budapest agreement whilst also pointing out that it had already been breached before they invaded.
It’s always the academics.
It was the USA who violated the Budapest memorandum. Its enough to read it. The USA promised to respect Ukraine's sovereignty. After a coup Russia had to choose which side to support, because Crimea and Donbass refused to recognize the regime .
Russia and Ukraine used to have The Frienship and Cooperation Treaty. Under that Treaty the sides took obligations do not make anything that could harm the interests of the other side.
Sanctions was supposed to defeat Russia, not one military historian ever thought UA had a chance
But war was needed to sanction Russia
The sanction were being used to grab the European energy market to begin with. Next will be European industry etc etc.
As a Yugoslav I am living proof of this. We looked to the US as an ally. I have very different feelings about the US today. I know the part they played in the breakup of my country. When you try to explain this to people they just do not want to know. Today the former countries who were part of Yugoslavia are not celebrating their “freedom”.
I wonder whether the US and NATO will do the same to Finland that they did to Ukraine. 😢😢😢
Finns are too "pragmatic". Just recall how they flipped the side in WW2 and started enthusiastically fighting Germans?
Finland joining NATO was undemocratic.
But that won't matter.
Reclaim your country.
@@vazeuax If they were pragmatic, they would reject NATO. Russia never threaten Finland before it joined NATO and they would suffer the most because the are at the forefront of any war between NATO and Russia. If they had remained neutral, any war between NATO and Russia would leave them safe due to their neutrality.
@@adamiskandar5107 this time they were thinking Russia will fall and eager to jump the train asap in order to get themselves some leftovers after West's victory. So yeah, still "pragmatic".
There are signs this is already planned and on the way.
One of the best program on this channel. Thank you.
Pascal, Ukraine violated the Budapest Memorandum first, repeatedly. Also, Memoranda are not Treaties.
Thanks for this comprehensive historical review and analysis.
But Russia did not invade Crimea, Russia was already in Crimea (legally). And they were allowed (legally) to carry on policing actions to secure the Black Sea fleet, which is what they did.
Russia did not "invade Crimea." As Putin said later in an interview when asked about the "little green men" : "We sent no one. We were already there. We have always been there. We have a base there, in Sebastopol. Quite a large one. You may have noticed it."
Total deaths in the Russian re-annexation of Crimea?
Three. (3).
2 Ukrainian officers who picked a gunfight with pistols against Russian troops carrying machine guns, and one Sevastopol Defence Force (Russian) trooper
The war in ukraine isn't about ukraine, it always was about Russia. EU always wanted to lure Russia into a war, thinking that it will shatter it. The war is price of foolish, childish plans, but all the death toll is a result of EU's pride, that will not acknowledge their defeat.
Great conversation, very enlightening, but as most news of war is, very sad. All those (mostly young) lives lost or maimed. There are people involved in this that are just wicked.
The USA was 100% to blame.
NO! One Can't HATE someone else when One Can't EVEN THINK for ONESELF !!🤣🤣🤣
But When One WAKEUP, One can Hate ONESELF!!😥😥😥
No 2 war , No 2 nato . Peace and prosperity for all citizens of the planet .
Defense was the central strategy of the Soviet Union (Russia) in its victory over Germany. As a result, even if Berlin fell in the siege and Nazi Germany was finally lost, the Soviet Union could not control Eastern Europe and collapsed under the weight of Eastern European domination. Russia's strength lies in its vast territorial space, and if it were to embrace the rebellious Ukrainian people there, the cost would be an excessive burden and would result in Russia suffering. Maintaining an expanded "empire" is neither possible nor desirable for Russia today. In addition, because of the widespread anti-Russian or anti-Putin sentiment in Europe (perhaps fostered by what Professor Nye calls "soft power" academically, and the truth is "propaganda"), Russia's territorial expansion through the annexation of Ukraine will further strengthen the divide between Western Europe and Russia. For Putin, both the United States and Britain are objects of "dislike and wariness," but building good relations with Western Europe, especially Germany and France, is essential for Russia's development in all aspects of politics, economy, culture, and history. The emphasis on Western Europe is also important for Russia, which borders China with a long border (7,000 km) and a huge population of 1.4 billion, as part of its policy toward China.
Since the ultimate aim of the United States is to weaken or divide Russia from the division between Russia and Western Europe, it is also possible to weaken not only Russia but also Western Europe, centered on Germany and France, and strengthen dependence on the United States, thereby perpetuating the hegemony of the United States unilaterally*. I think the nationalist Putin fully understands this.
No they won't!!!! Ukrainians will NEVER hate their Western lotds - at least those who started all of this. Good example are Polish - admiring the Germans...
The western part yes. The Middle part, Malorussia will split
А как сеёчас японцы любят США, даже боятся вслух сказать, кто бросил бомбы на Хиросиму и Нагасаки.
Сейчас в чатрулутке украинцы выпрашивают ядерку по ним. Это на полном серьёзе!
waiting for pascal to host scott horton
Thanks Pascal for sharing this very insightful and inspiring conversation.
Are there any real winners of the Ukraine war? The young men that lost theirs lives?🌻
Despite all this negativity, Merry Christmas All.
Sorry , not including Ukrainians !
Thanks!
WOW, aren,t you the generous one. Pascal can retire now.
Please do take away the blame from Russia... how many times would the Russians be ignored while the weapons kept flowing into Ukraine?
Russia never left the Ukraine, (Imperialist Russia)
Ukraine needs to be free from all imperialists , USA, Russia, China.......?
Thank you Pascal for this interview! And for all of your great conversations!
Evil in DC..
A great guest. I totally and sadly agree. Chapeau, Pascal, for this conversation.
if they lower the draft age to 18, the government falls
Excellent guest. Thank you for this.
Toxic land, unexploded cluster munitions, land mines, ecological loss, population loss, freedom and democracy USA style.
Great talk thank you very much, the world will wake up to this madness.
Not only nato , but don't forget the Nazist nationalists called Banderites and in the Verchovna Rada their political arm Svoboda .
Thank you...wonderful talk
Great analysis as usual
From the day they pushed Russia to attack, we new Ukraine was a cooked goose.
Good point Pascal, that tha combination of sending NATO weapons to Ukraine, but keeping out of formal written obligations, has made Ukraine into a "ground zero" test area for a conventional conflict with Russia.
Thank you, both for this deep understanding and the explanation of the situation. This is my favorite conversation so far
The US and Europe has to appease Ukraine -bottomlessly- _as long as they can_ to mitigate any consequences of their abject callousness.
What appeasement? They should pay reparations for the destruction of Ukraine! How many Ukrainians died?
Are you kidding?
Really?
What Washington and the collective west are doing in Ukraine, they have done all over Africa and have been doing all over the Middle-East.
You have not come to terms with what these western governments are. Something is fundamentally wrong with their thought-process.
The British empire before the American empire was same.
Interestingly, the US was established by migrants mainly from Europe. Do not forget that early American settlers wiped out Native Americans in same way Israelites are wiping out Palestinians now. So, in terms of their meanness, their querilousness, there is no difference between the Americans and the Europeans. They are one and the same.
The strategy from day one was to separate Russia from Europe and it has worked brilliantly. Victoria Nuland's $5 billion is chickenfeed compared to what has flowed into the American arms industry as a result of the conflict. That was the icing on the cake.
Nailed it ❣️
Technicaly speaking, France and the British Empire declared war on Germany in 1939 - so were France and the UK the aggressors in WWII? Aren't we "denying" french and british co-responsibility to WWII? On the other side: when Germany declared war on the United States, was it completely unprovoked?
What I am trying to say with this is that there's only so much that one can do with diplomacy - of which the Russian government tried every possible way in my opnion. Yet, there's also the underlying motive behind any conflict which might explain why we sometimes understand that an military conflict is inevitable. That's also why we - me included - usually justify most allied "aggressions" that happened in context to WWII.
The culprit behind all the mess we're currently in is crystal clear to me. Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote a book about it for crying out loud. The Russians had to go to war because we Europeans let them down badly. We are just like the Arab league but Putin is refusing to become Ghadaffi. The shame is on us - there's no "two ways" about it.
A very good discussion for observers who wanted to hear the geopolitical conflict ducks lined up in a row.
HOW WOULD RUSSIA STOP UKRAINE MILITARY AGGRESSIONS? SPEAKER WITH PEACE?/ THEY TRIED???? HE HAS TO BLAME RUSSIA? RIGHT
🙏 Thanks for this great interview
It's very well laid out how this all went down and where the underlying causes are exposing themselves! Great work! Peace and Love to You all!🙏💖🐺
The U.S. corporations have moved operations abroad for increased profits. The de-industrialization of the U.S. has basically left the MIC as the only remaining heavy industry driving the economy. As a result, perpetual war is existential for the U.S. economy.

Thanks Pascal. This is a great video.
Zenlenkey could end up like Saddam and Gadafi
Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year Pascal!
As WW2 started it was necessary to do so, not many people have a problem with that.
Russias actions in Ukraine was also necessary to stop the Anglo Saxon continuing aggression to the world decline of the colonial powers is a historical necessity. Greetings from Norway
I think that the 'treaty of Versailles 1919' contributed to world war 2.
🇫🇮♥this detailed & informative discussion/analysis.
It is the moral stand of the US while knowingly Ukraine is not going to be allowed in the Nato, knowing that casualties to the Ukrainians and Russians may destroy demographics of the Ukrainian, but for "what" of the US interest to encourage the Ukrainian to fight till the last Ukrainian. When Ukrainian wakes up, when Russians wakes up to recognize the recklessness of the US led Nato who want to see the shrinkage of the Slavic populations!
The US want to balkanize Russia, install a puppet and loot their resources they're not really hiding it.
The problem in Europe is the USA/NATO. Europe should also see to it that the US troops disappear from Europe, because Europe does not need them and besides, the Americans have no business in Europe. But Europe needs a defensive alliance where Europe can protect itself against England, the dachshund of the USA and the USA. The USA is the aggressor that there is always war in Europe.
Why not call a spade a spade? The "rules-based international order" is simply a euphemism for "the empire." Some would call it a euphemism for the Fourth Reich. So why not at least call it imperialism, which is what it essentially is? It is also a justification for imperialism, the contemporary version of "the white man's burden." As long as Banderism and neo-fascism are not made illegal and formally banned in Ukraine, there will never be any unified narrative about the war. Moreover, since the US has literally NO credibility with Russia (or with the surviving Amerindians, either, for that matter), it is difficult to imagine any agreement about the meaning of the war in Ukraine in the near future. The US deep state simply will not allow it. Until the US deep state, which is much, much more powerful than any president and which still believes in "manifest destiny," decides to give up "the empire," there will never be a secure, lasting peace in Ukraine -- or in Europe...or in the world.
