- Col. (ret.) Lawrence Wilkerson's last positions in government were as Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff (2002-05), Associate Director of the State Department's Policy Planning staff under the directorship of Ambassador Richard N. Haass, and member of that staff responsible for East Asia and the Pacific, political-military and legislative affairs (2001-02).
-
Before serving at the State Department, Wilkerson served 31 years in the U.S. Army. During that time, he was a member of the faculty of the U.S. Naval War College (1987 to 1989), Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-93), and Director and Deputy Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia (1993-97). Wilkerson retired in 1997 and began work as an advisor to General Powell. He has also taught national security affairs at the George Washington University.

I belive this too. I was born and lived in the UK but am now an Australian citizen. Let's not become a UK.

I'll be 62 in 3 months and have been Voting since 18 ( my Daddy said that when I turned 18, I WOULD register for selective service and participate in the Electoral Process) and I'm done with it. The lesser of two Evils doesn't cut it anymore. The Colonel and others are Correct that what is now an Empire is Collapsing.
Why is Trump a lesser of 2 evils in your eyes?
_"All People's have the right to self defence from Colonial rule, including armed resistance"_
UN Charter: Protocol 1
Call for Government by People's Referenda:
Peaceful Encampment of our Capitals until it's installed, or run Mascot Candidates
Single Issue Referendums with thresholds and a social contract means Communities can vote their own laws.
A Public Authority can audit police and prosecute bad cops in our own courts.
Nationalise resources and give Indigenous peoples the right of Sovereignty over them as Guardians.
This can be achieved through a General Strike or Velvet Revolution, much like the Occupy movement, peacefully occupying State Buildings until a People's Mandate can be implemented.
With the appropriate checks and balances, you could have a national digital forum where qualified professionals can debate the issues in a public setting without all the disinformation and bad faith antics, hatespeech etc.
Any vote would need to pass the 70% threshold, with a veto or _rewrite_ vote needing 30%.
The issues would be debated, the public educated, and then a vote taken. Votes that fail will have to wait a year before trying again. Any new proposal (Citizen Initiated Referendum) would have to reach a threshold of support before it made it onto the register.
This would be subject to a Social Contract (New Constitution) that forbids human rights abuses and discrimination.
That can be written in the same manner based on the core principles we all share. Councils and Boards could operate in the same fashion at Scale.
It works in a way that obligates people to better educate themselves ( that is to use logic and evidence in their reasoning ) for a better understanding of the issues, and then take collective responsibility for the outcomes. As opposed to the divisive US v them scapegoating and bi-partisan finger pointing the current Capitalist Pyramid Scheme runs on.
Enough is enough
We need a Party of Peace: Government by People's Referenda, either through Mascot Candidates or Peaceful Encampment of the Capitals until one is established.

@@lovestrong3582 probably so.
While I understand, not voting ensures the fanatics control the outcome. Rational, reasonable people need to turn out in droves to vote for a rational, capable adult ...if there is one on the ballot.

NIMA is very good ,
Getting the best from his guest .
Me too
Larry, China was _the_ hegemon 600 yrs ago, a "gentle, polite" but well armed. It never took more than a fair share and helped vassals through bad times. I guess China will do the same, eventually, after the US thieves retreat. The Chinese understand power must be tempered but the US never learned.
"gentle"? --- china always been brutal, despotic
Col Wikerson's quote on Benjamin Nathanaël "He is a genius who is so evil, it make me wanna just spit" What a Epic Quote, Hero and respect. Thank you.
"Not voting" sends a message. Voting for a 3rd party sends a message too, and may also send more alternative voices to Congress!
That was a great dialogue with Larry Wilkerson. I wish there was many people as smart and humane like him running the USA then we wouldn’t be in this current mess and having to pick the lesser of two evils that is dumb and dumber. God bless you Larry Wilkerson for your integrity and compassion.
Thank you Nima for ur interviews. Ur questions are spot on and you are a masterclass for listening!
Was just thinking that. Nima questions are spot on.
He gives his guests great space to pontificate and then when they complete their thoughts hits em with a zinger.. and off they go again..great stuff
Larry is a star, sir i salute you.
Larry's analysis is a standout amongst so many. I listen when he speaks and only wish Western leaders would, too.
Col.Larrry Wilkerson ,you are a real humane
Colonel Wilkerson really is the most impressive commentator on most aspects of geo-politics ATM. I always learn something off kilter and fascinating.
Once again the Colonel...is on Fire!
And unlike Joe Biden, he can talk, process his thoughts; reason.
One of very few people who know what they're talking about .
@@lelanalela7932 Indeed.
These are the best commentators online today. Great questions, real answers.
Col. I think you are a wonderfully intelligent man. Always a pleasure to hear you speaking. You are 100% on everything you say, so far. Thanks, love and admiration from Ireland 🇮🇪 God bless the truth speakers.

Professor Wilkerson makes more sense than anyone else on foreign policy issues. Someone sane and prescient in the US.

Straitforward. Love this man. Really wakes you up. Very wise.

@@sasapopadic384 Those who vote decide nothing, those who count the vote decide everything. Joseph Stalin
One cannot draw such general conclusions from a single instance.
@@stavroskarageorgis4804 In the UK Labour got 33% of the vote and reaped 63% of the seats. The smaller parties (i.e. the parties that are not the two major establishment parties) got 40% of the vote and won only 17% of the seats. The end result is just more of the same corrupt government that ignored the needs of the people while bending over backwards to pursue the interests of the entrenched political establishment (composed of neocons, globalists, oligarchs, etc)
Over in the US, ALL candidates that are not deeply corrupt members of the entrenched political establishment are filtered out via primaries, leaving us with absolute dog-shit choices such as McCain, Biden, Clinton, Gore, and even Obama. The only outsider to manage to get past the heavily curated primaries was Trump, and his presidency was so heavily sabotaged by the corrupt establishment officials he chose (Robert Gates, John Bolton, etc) that Trump may as well have been a corrupt political insider for all the difference he made in office.
So it goes for Western country after Western country, where our political systems have - by now - been completely figured out by the well-resourced big interests (Military Industrial Complex, Big Pharma, Wall Street, Big Tech, Big Agri, Big Retail, etc) that now regularly game our system to ensure the continuation of the ruinous-for-us-but-beneficial-for-them status quo.
The French elections is nothing more than they latest clown show, in which the recipients of the largest amount of votes (Le Pen's party) received fewer seats than the leftist coalition AND the party of the much-despised Macron.
A true gentleman and wonderful guest.
The past 25 years have been so internationally catastrophic and if not so personal would be funny if a movie plot. My childhood was nothing but Hope & Lies. In 25 years the American Dream became a Nightmare.
Hi Nima, I'd like the opportunity to talk on your show some time about how the position of the Irish government doesn't reflect the opinions of the Irish people, when it comes to the Ukrainian conflict.
I'm part of a group in Ireland called The Truth And Neutrality Alliance, and we recently attended the Victory Day celebrations in Ireland and 2 of our group, I was one, were key speakers. We were very well received by the Russian and pro Russian, and ex Soviet community there.
I've been on radio 1 time with a Russian friend and it has been the only time where the other side of the story has had a chance to be aired to the Irish public.
Ukrainians have tried spreading their propaganda and Russophobia in my country but I think people here are tired of them for the most part.
My wife is Russian and lives in Moscow, where I hope to move to soon. I wouldn't have her come here and face the humiliation that a Russian would have to face when entering Ireland.
Maybe you could find the time in your schedule to talk to someone who is not a renowned expert or a professor but an ordinary Irish man who has a good understanding of the conflict and I know my organisation would be very proud to see us get exposure on such a large platform like yours. I know our Russian comrades here would also really appreciate an Irish voice speaking up for them on the international stage.
Many thanks Nima, and keep up the good work. ♥️🙏
🇬🇧🇷🇺🇬🇧🇷🇺🇬🇧🇷🇺❤️❤️💪🐻
The people has to try spread the truth, the establishment only supress it
Always enjoy the Colonel's input. 👍
Thanks Nima and Larry for such a comprehensive discussion. Sad to see how this has played out. Evil has not only survived but has thrived.
Every time I listen to Larry he presents truth and logical advice Larry even go's deeper to the source with simple examples.. He is a delightful person with wisdom and knowledge and guidance just like Jeffrey Sachs coronal McGregor Scott Ritter Gerald Celente and many more other's keeping The world peaceful and relaxingly safe

The "Bild" newspaper in Germany is an absolute rag. It's all about big headlines, no in depth journalism (whatever that means these days). Just letting you know.
PS: Also, the Bild is Zio.
The tentacles of the Zio clasp the main stream media in projecting its evil propaganda against Truth. But Truth will prevail, its the Law of Nature/Sunnatullah.
That's all Establishment Catholic Media
Is there any newspaper in Germany that is good and not Zionist?
@@moriyokiri3229 If you are asking about mainstream media, then the answer is no. There are some decent independent outlets that you can find online, but they mostly avoid bemoaning Zionism, which I consider weak. I can think of one exception and that's "Apolut" who will talk about it on occasion. They've got some good criticism of German foreign and domestic policies which are worth listening to and/or reading.
@@moriyokiri3229you have to look to the independent media. German Legacy media are streamlined and controlled by the regime. Quite similar to the former communist part of Germany, called „DDR“…
Great guy, Col. Wilkerson!
Always very distressing to listen to Col Wilkinson. Thank you for your invaluable work Nima and your insights Col Wilkerson.

In relation to the US, Canada's no different from the UK.
Even less so me thinks ...
Historically the people of the home country fair better after the empire collapses. Since they no longer need to support those ambitions. They rebuild their domestic situation instead which usually has been suffering. Sound familiar.
Are you drunk? It will be neighbor VS neighbor in America once the collapse happens...be careful what you wish for dude
Still have to overthrow the stranglehold on govt, otherwise you just get National Socialism, and no one on the left has a spine

Exactly. Empires decay when they become instruments to enrich the upper classes, and collapse when that decadence reaches critical mass. There follows a period of chaos and violence but after that there is nowhere to go but up. It may never reach the levels of wealth and technology it had before, but the quality of life of the average person paradoxically improves.
I just love to listen the Colonel! I am not an American, in fact belong to millions of those wronged by the Empire...but his perspective is so clear and well explained...I always learn so much and I can only hope that are more like him in US before we all are dust
seriously! What a man! What a wealth of knowledge and such a spirit! It truly is an honor to benefit from your conversation ...thank you both..
This man is smart!
Great perspective. Enjoyed this
Colonel, We creating the crisis started 2014, China has't come east, we sailed 6,000 miles west to S, China Sea. We went 7,500 to Russian border to cause trouble on Russian border for what reason I don't know. US has no f-inn idea what war is. I'm concerned what is a stupid US created death trap by our hubris!
Follow the money! All about the MIC
Hi its called an empire, the British had one, USA is probably on the cusp of pulling back a bit on theirs 😂 World is changing fast
Don't agree with all Col. Wilkerson's politics but I appreciate his global military and strategic perspective. His historical insights are fantastic with respect to our current debt and historical dilemma.
Larry Wilkerson is an amazing orator. I love coming back to this channel everyday.
I hope we can see the downfall of Netanyahu.
Keep up the good work Nima.
Wilkerson is excellent. His analogies are concrete and easy for anyone to understand

To my fellow American Tax payers, the government is adding 1 trillion dollars per 100 days to our tab. That's $10,000 every 3 months for every tax payer. Imagine seeing that on your monthly credit card statement.

Brilliant analysis. But, so depressing.
A great guy , a true humanitarian.. thanks for this talk.

It is way worse, we still are looking at the ripples on relatively calm waters... From our rutterless boat.
More like watching the water drain from the harbor before the Tsunami of economic collapse comes racing in 😂
Stop the wars!
I love this man!
Larry or Nima ?
Very good insights!
Has anyone thought that maybe China, Russia and other countries have decided that they don't want to watch continuous wars and the poorest countries being pilfered by the west, particularly by the US? China, Russia and India have managed to bring a huge number of their population into the middle class from poverty, over the last 20 or so years. Just because the West constantly thinks war, doesn't mean other countries do. I believe many other countries, as in BRICS, are thinking about their ECONOMIES!! All countries could work together on this but unfortunately the West can't see it.
exactly! We want (the little countries that got into cross hairs) a chance to develop in peace..afford basic stuff..just basic stuff and just live out our days in peace..
the BRICS countries bring fwd that vision...I like it and want to be a part of that world...
we've seen war...destruction, poverty, stagnation, humiliation...to most of us that's all we've known..no hope...until now...when ppl offer us a clear vision of a shared future for all of humanity...
Either we build it or we all perish but status quo has gotta go (as kids say)
I remember people saying the US National Debt couldn't go on when it was Single Digit Trillions, nearly 30 years ago!!
Back then it could because trust in the dollar was high and they could just export their debt indefinitely. Now that whole ponzi scheme is starting to crack. I think it can still continue for another decade on its current momentum alone, but the hammer WILL fall. And the longer it goes on the harder the collapse.
Hopefully people decide the duopoly is over and they vote Jill Stein. We need a new direction which requires new parties.
LMAO...you actually think Americans will wake up? LOL...keep drinking the cool aid
They won't. The worse the situation gets the more people will hold on to the system to find some semblance of order. If they can't find virtue in their own candidate they'll just demonize the other to rationalize a bad vote.
You can really sense the fear in Larry's voice. This whole situation we're in is becoming surreal. Add in v0ting problems & I can't see this ending well.. 😬

Zelensky is not going to seriously negotiate with Russia. Russia will not negotiate with Zelensky since he no longer holds the office. The Ukranians want more money, arms, and ammo, and will say or do anything to get them, even "negotiate" with Russia. The only important factor is the rate of Ukranian casualties. Ukraine is bleeding bad, that is the only pertinent dynamic that will change the status quo.😢 3k a day.😮
Its been coming out for a while re changing demands. Its slowly changed over time so is not a bluff. Zel wanted to negotiate last year but USA said no
You got to remember, with the losses so high, a total collapse gets closer every day. Its VITAL to Ukraine that they negotiate before that happens
Very astute analysis. Thank you.
Thank you gents.
Wow, that was dark. The stuff at the end about Israel and Netenyahu was so depressing. But it seems absolutely spot on.😢
Zelensky has NO authority. He is back to being a third rate comedian.
