You are such a pleasure to watch Ray McGovern. Not only are you brutally honest, but fearless in sharing your information. You are a true American patriot and the 99% are fortunate to have you.
Of course the best analyst in USA. That's how he was in CIA for 27 years and briefed President Ronald Reagan as head of National Intelligence. Fortunately Ray is still around to interpret and give us the real news about the Ukraine war and Gaza debacle. God bless you Mr McGovern .
“Neutrality Studies” is a front organisation for Russian propaganda. A trial for war criminal dictator Putin who started the war. Russia has no right to a zone of influence where it dictates the government of other nations.
I don't think we need to be normalising the idea that using nuclear weapons and nuclear war is inevitable. We should be doing everything we can to let our govts and leaders know that nuclear war is unacceptable at every level. It seems that the West has totally lost it's collective ability to engage in diplomacy. Conventional war itself should be the last resort....NOT nuclear war.
Let the Russian people inform their government that nuclear war is unacceptable see how fast they will fall out of a window! Who is constantly threatening with nuclear war? Is it the west? Is it Ukraine? I think not. When did Biden or Macron said we are going to nuke Russia? The only one ratteling the nuclear sable is Putin for years now. If you do this or if you do that there is a risk of a nuclear war. That is the cowards way of saying if you do this I will drop the bomb. Nuclear missiles don't lauch themselves. No there isn't a risk on a nuclear war unless he fires one first but if he does then he will have no country left to rule like a tsar. Putin is a cry bully "please stop me before I go berserk" kind of guy. Relax! he won't go nuclear because he may be a maniac he is not a suicidal maniac. The west is not responsible for the nuclear threats Putin makes. The threats are entirely his responsability. Stop the gaslighting
Russia doesn' need the US to make a fool out of itself they are doing it on a regular basis themselves just fine. From a 3 day SMO to being invaded themself 3 years later. Sad silly toothless circus bear that is the Russian bear for you. US did not make a fool out of themselves they made a coward out of themselves by their constant fear of escalation and self imposed redlines under what conditions their old crap weapons can be used by Ukraine. Russia has no redlines bombing an terrorising Ukraine so why should we have redlines. USA must send their help to Ukraine unconditionally and learn to trust Ukraine using those donated weapons as they see fit.

The fact that foreign policy is dictated by defense contractors and their oligarch investors and not by the public through elections should dispel all myths about western democracy.
I am very very angry about all NATO politicians who said yes to the Kursk invasion. And I am also very angry that Joe Biden approved the use of ATACMS on Russian territory.
Biden didn't make that decision, but Winken, Blicken and Nod of our state department which is actually the voice of Bibi Netanyahu and his minions that have infiltrated themselves into the U.S. government at all levels and directs our military to defend Israel without a declaration of war.
The US merely replaced the UK at the head of the Anglo American corporate Military empire, and continued to use 1800's tactics to project power around the world, which worked very successfully for Britain and various other European powers during the 1800's, in the first half of the 1900's the UK EU & US (aka the collective West) had a technological advantage over the rest of the world, which they chose to focus on projecting military power, entertainment & fast food, followed by Neoliberal policies to deindustrialize, before military adventurism into Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, various skirmishes in Africa and Ukraine. Today Europe is collapsing with the US on shaky ground. China and other Asian countries appear to have better technology & far more manufacturing capacity than the US, UK & Europe combined. Russia which the US spent decades deriding has better military technology and far more Military manufacturing capacity than all of NATO, yet China could quickly surpass anything Russia has achieved to date and yet some of the Neocons and Chiefs of staff are still delusional enough to think the US can survive a major confrontation with Both Russia and China at the same time. That's not just Ludicrous, it's suicidal.
I agree there can be potential but in russia it cant be... their current regime is simply beyond corrupt culture. of china im not so sure, they have their issues. midsized growing countries nobody "notices" now could grow to fill void if collapse happens. we are very testing times and all cards are on US single point of vulnerability.

What a wonderful show, Pascal! You have done such an amazing job with this channel. Ray McGovern is such a wise and compassionate man! Please invite him back. You have so many wonderful questions and he has so much wisdom to impart.
My greatest surprise as an Australian CIA skeptic for 50 years I am really surprised there were people in the CIA with the intellect, knowledge, wisdom, common sense, patience and integrity of Ray McGovern. So can I ask Ray, Why didn’t you do something to stop the rot even way back in the 70’s. Even in Australia there are many of us who believe the CIA orchestrated a coup or at least undermined the government, in the 1970’s of a popular elected progressive government whose policies challenged US hegemony.
Well, if it's anything like the military, he probably did. But he is just an analyst and those who led the CIA chose to ignore what he was saying, and/or were just extensions of the political class. In the case of the CIA, the compartmentalization of information means he probably didn't even know 20% of what the CIA is up to
I think he'd answer that there were 2 CIAs back then...intel & analysis vs operations/everything else/wetworks...they were not on the same page, even hated/opposed each other. The later is all there is today Or so I've heard him explain it beforehand
@@GenghisDon1970 McGovern was not the head of CIA. Even a President like JFK couldn't stop the CIA and hence speculation still exists that JFK was killed by a CIA operation and covered up.
The " F""" the EU" recording , really was accurately undesirable , it was undeniably...a very sadly striking unforgettable experience for all who have heard it, those few years ago...🤐☮
Does one really have to wonder where Victoria Nuland's hubris originates? Just look at what ethic group runs the U.S. state department, congress and has a desk in every congressional office in the U.S. and has bought off every administration of the U.S. since the CIA coupe de tat of America with the assassination of JFK. and the introduction of the 51st state of Israel and its AIPAC installed overseers into all 50 states of the union. To know those who rule over you, simply find those whom you cannot criticize.
It was always my basic worry that US will be using nuclear weapons first and not Russia. They did it to Japan, for the reason Ray is pointing out. The world war was already over, but they still needed to drop it. It is just difficult to describe this idiotic way of foreign policies.
Oh hooray! Ray is a dear marvel. One of the most trustworthy people I follow all the time. Every story, every perceptive anecdote, I remember.

Thank you Pascal, for letting your guest complete his thoughts and fully express his ideas. Too many interviewers waste time trying to impress their audience with how bright they are by constantly interrupting and changing the subject.
I've got too say that Ray McGovern explains all of this so well! In a world where we can only assume that a narrative is true, he presents a narrative that is so honest that I must agree with what I hear from him. Sounds, too me, like he is directly over the target! Ever since I found him on YT, I always found that his assessment of why things are happening, as they are globally, he paints a picture that is understandable, and acceptable.
Honest informed discussion of very topical issues that indeed impact the whole world, thank you Ray and Pascal for your efforts to promote discourse which seeks sanity and peace.
Superb interview! Pascal, you posed the most enigmatic question of all: who is actually running US foreign policy? The probable answer does not inspire confidence. Thank you both.
If BRICS can get China and India, who are not enemies, yet sometimes are like respectful next door neighbours who have minor border issues that are unpleasant sorted out and show a great example of how nations can cooperate, the world will benefit hugely ☮🕉
I really doubt that people like Sullivan and Blinken ever learn something. Maybe they are driven by fear at some point. But I expect the worst of them.
Sullivan seems like corporate loyal worker in highest level (Executive level, yet not CEO type boss)... what is that grand plan going on, i dont know. By this I mean only great exceptional statesmen in history had CEO type self agency... it is extremely rare luxury nowadays due to machinery of politics.
The idea that this attack in any way hurts Russia SMO is difficult to accept. Ukraine has not taken the city of Kursk; they have merely taken some, mostly rural, parts of the oblast, or region of Kursk. The largest town they have taken is Sudzha, which has just over 6,000 people. Much of the territory they have captured is empty fields. Even if they manage to take Kursk proper -which isa highly unlikely, it is a city with less than 500,000 people and one that is not significant to the Russia’s plans. The idea that Russia will break down and negotiate with Ukraine is a fantasy; Russia needs not to rush to such ends. Russia has plenty of volunteers, whereas Ukraine is running out of them. They will simply wait and slowly take their land back, inch by inch, throwing as many troops into the field as necessary. When they’re done, the situation will look even worse for Ukraine than when it started: Ukraine will have lost men, used up arms, and gained nothing. Russia will, in the meantime, have slowly continued chipping away at Ukraine’s territory in the south, as it is now doing.
For the interest of disclosure I am not on your side. I will say though, Ukraine isn't attemping to use the Kursk region as a bargaining chip. It is a buffer zone that will be (held/attemped to be held) to beyond the end of the war.
The delusions of Russian/Russian-biased individuals never end to amaze me. Even if Moscow were to fall, these folks would still be saying, "Oh! Its just 10% of Russia, which has been captured, we still have 90% of barren land which we can still use to fight gorilla warfare". Same with Ukrainians. No wonder its a fight b/w two idiot brothers.
@@davidkendal1361 More than this (Kursk) as a buffer zone, there's already a buffer zone in Zelensky's head that needs to be taken over and stuffed with common sense!
Hi Pascal, you and Ray McGovern have such a beautiful synergy. I really hope you get to meet him in person before it's too late. He's a giant. A legend. Greetings from South Korea.
Putin runs Russia with an iron hand - demanding loyalty and, depending on who, different levels of obedience. He also makes life in Russia better and better for the average people. He is smart, consistent, well educated and the experienced spy. He loves Russia, he is deeply patriotic. I happen to respect him and wish him good health and success in freeing his complex and hard to keep together country, from pesky ukrainian national shovinists (yes - those for whom Stepan Bandera is a national hero). I love Russian tradition and culture - architecture, music and literature. I love Russian language - soft and melodic. I am so lucky for learning it at school. Go Russia!
The USA is the exceptional country, the most exceptional in the historical record. Fear of offending the sensibilities of US citizens forbids me from going into any details.
USA is Mostly Europeans from 16. 17 18 19 century. Nothing more . Irish. English. Holland. Poland. Russians. Sweden. Norway. Scotland. Germans so on.....
The US has been exeptional evil in evry thing rhey have done. The US has been the adggressor in 33 wars sin 1889, alwys used the wolds wost wapons, worst tactics like filling mexico with black slaves so they could attac the peacefull mexico.
The World is rapidly awakening to the fact that America is NOT an "indispensable nation" and that America Exceptionalism is little more than a sophisticated "ad campaign" that would make any Madison Avenue executive swoon.
Given the fact that the US hegemony has practically ended but the illusion amongst western leaders has not, it seems apparent that the situation is increasingly about how other countries manage that. We are essentially all dependent on the good grace and wise leadership of those other countries ie not the western countries.
During the war in Vietnam it was considered close to treason to try and understand the feelings of the North Vietnamese. Jane Fonda was nicknamed 'Hanoi Jane'.
It's such a coincidence that the Ukraine was emptied of people just in time for the Ukrainian converts to Judaism living in Palestine to come back and repopulate Ukraine!
The 90s were rough, my parents had to queue for hours to get basic food rations. You could only have things like jam and chocolate through connections and favors. Gorbachev and Yeltsin sold and squandered what was built up during the ussr. The fall of soviet union left the country weakened and corruption thrived. My parents tell me that ussr were the best years, everyone had jobs, everyone had homes, everyone was educated and polite, no homelessness and drugs.
Love listening to Ray McGovern; plenty have commented on his wisdom, historical knowledge and sensitivity - all good. But, Pascal... Your expressions are priceless!
Zum Thema "Putinversteher": Wer den anderen nicht versteht, der wird zuerst den Frieden verlieren und dann den Krieg. Weil den anderen zu verstehen ist sowohl die Voraussetzung Fuer Frieden als auch fuer einen Sieg im Krieg!
There are at least two scenarios of the US firing a nuclear weapon on Russia, but only one outcome. If the US is intending to fire a nuclear weapon at Russia, in all its narcissist assurance that Russia do not have the balls to fire back on the US with nuclear weapons. But, unexpectedly Russia respond in kind, and of course, on the US. That will take the US nerve, and that would be the end of that. However, if the US in all its hubris ways is itching for an all or nothing end game with Russia, and fires a nuclear weapon at Russia first, itching for Russia to respond, and as expected, Russia responds. We can be sure the outcome, to this scenario, will be entirely different.

Thank you Pascal for having the great Ray McGovern on your show. ❤
If BRICS can get China and India, who are not enemies, yet sometimes are like respectful next door neighbours who have minor border issues that are unpleasant sorted out and show a great example of how nations can cooperate, the world will benefit hugely ☮🕉
if China and India aren't enemies then why do they fight at the border and kill each other?
Ray McGovern is fantastic! Please have him again soon!
Mr.Ray McGovern is a very brilliant intelligent man.
Ray McGovern is exceptional..😊👍
Ray is always wonderful to listen to! Thanks so much Pascal for having him on your channel 💖
I really doubt that people like Sullivan and Blinken ever learn something. Maybe they are driven by fear at some point. But I expect the worst of them.
Driven by "not on my watch" for the loss of EMPIRE.
Sullivan seems like corporate loyal worker in highest level (Executive level, yet not CEO type boss)... what is that grand plan going on, i dont know. By this I mean only great exceptional statesmen in history had CEO type self agency... it is extremely rare luxury nowadays due to machinery of politics.
They are not there to learn, they are there to serve the MIC and AIPAC . And they have been exceptional successful in doing that .
Ray brilliant as always..Greetings from Ireland
A pleasure to listen to Mr McGovern.
The idea that this attack in any way hurts Russia SMO is difficult to accept. Ukraine has not taken the city of Kursk; they have merely taken some, mostly rural, parts of the oblast, or region of Kursk. The largest town they have taken is Sudzha, which has just over 6,000 people. Much of the territory they have captured is empty fields. Even if they manage to take Kursk proper -which isa highly unlikely, it is a city with less than 500,000 people and one that is not significant to the Russia’s plans. The idea that Russia will break down and negotiate with Ukraine is a fantasy; Russia needs not to rush to such ends. Russia has plenty of volunteers, whereas Ukraine is running out of them. They will simply wait and slowly take their land back, inch by inch, throwing as many troops into the field as necessary.
When they’re done, the situation will look even worse for Ukraine than when it started: Ukraine will have lost men, used up arms, and gained nothing. Russia will, in the meantime, have slowly continued chipping away at Ukraine’s territory in the south, as it is now doing.
Spot on man!
For the interest of disclosure I am not on your side.
I will say though, Ukraine isn't attemping to use the Kursk region as a bargaining chip. It is a buffer zone that will be (held/attemped to be held) to beyond the end of the war.
The delusions of Russian/Russian-biased individuals never end to amaze me. Even if Moscow were to fall, these folks would still be saying, "Oh! Its just 10% of Russia, which has been captured, we still have 90% of barren land which we can still use to fight gorilla warfare".
Same with Ukrainians. No wonder its a fight b/w two idiot brothers.
@@davidkendal1361Held after the war as part of a Treaty of Versailles?
@@davidkendal1361 More than this (Kursk) as a buffer zone, there's already a buffer zone in Zelensky's head that needs to be taken over and stuffed with common sense!
Hi Pascal, you and Ray McGovern have such a beautiful synergy. I really hope you get to meet him in person before it's too late. He's a giant. A legend. Greetings from South Korea.
Thank-you for having Mr. McGovern on your channel. Very informative !!
You two guys. A pleasure to read the respect in Pascals face.
Amazing mind of Ray is my favorite analyst. Always listening him with ears wide open to learn. Thx for bringing him on your podcast!
Ray you are a hero, thank you patriot.
Putin runs Russia with an iron hand - demanding loyalty and, depending on who, different levels of obedience. He also makes life in Russia better and better for the average people. He is smart, consistent, well educated and the experienced spy. He loves Russia, he is deeply patriotic. I happen to respect him and wish him good health and success in freeing his complex and hard to keep together country, from pesky ukrainian national shovinists (yes - those for whom Stepan Bandera is a national hero). I love Russian tradition and culture - architecture, music and literature. I love Russian language - soft and melodic. I am so lucky for learning it at school. Go Russia!
Nice to see Ray on Pascal's channel. Much respect to you both!
If Ray were in New Zealand, I woyld adopt him. He's everyones kindly and most wise Granddad❤
The USA is the exceptional country, the most exceptional in the historical record. Fear of offending the sensibilities of US citizens forbids me from going into any details.
Exceptionally naive
USA is Mostly Europeans from 16. 17 18 19 century. Nothing more . Irish. English. Holland. Poland. Russians. Sweden. Norway. Scotland. Germans so on.....
Exceptionally ignorant
The US has been exeptional evil in evry thing rhey have done. The US has been the adggressor in 33 wars sin 1889, alwys used the wolds wost wapons, worst tactics like filling mexico with black slaves so they could attac the peacefull mexico.
I read this as sarcasm. it can be either way, both are still valid viewpoints.
Amen Good afternoon Mr Ray and Pascal ♥️🌍🦾😇🕊️
Ray is the sane voice of America.
🧡Ray🧡
⭐VIPS⭐
Thanks! A lot more truth here than MSM
Excellent résumé de l'histoire, merci.
its too dangerous for EU and US to understand Putin because he makes sense
The idea of using nuke in Ukraine is just insane!
BlackRock n the western forces have destroyed Ukraine already .....Ukraine is no man's land WW1 already😢
BlackRock n the western forces have destroyed Ukraine already .....Ukraine is no man's land WW1 already😢
This is the most worrying time. When rhe western block is wounded. It might lash out very foolishly
Maybe that's why Russia is moving so cautiously in Ukraine !
Great job! Thank you for making this available gentlemen. May the next American republic listen to Mr. McGovern!
❤Mr. McGovern you are great analyst on latest situation. Thank you. O. S.
Not quite as much russiaphobia in Germany. The Alternative for Germany party is doing quite well. They want peace with Russia.
Clear❗ To favorite and save this for much needed education for everyone! Thank you, gentle gentlemen ❣✌
That's how they went after Scott Ritter, ...better declare that free cup to the IRS Ray!
The thing abt the US empire nowadays is that nobody is at the helm anymore. It's just institutions on autopilot moving chaotically.
Congratulations for a fantastic interview, Mr Pascal. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Mr. Ray.
Why don’t we talk about the World Economic Forum, a fascistic organization unelected dictating our foreign and domestic policy
The World is rapidly awakening to the fact that America is NOT an "indispensable nation" and that America Exceptionalism is little more than a sophisticated "ad campaign" that would make any Madison Avenue executive swoon.
Usa 🤮
Thank you, for this interview!
love you Ray, thanks
Lavrov actually hinted Russia might hit DC, not the bases, say in Romania.
I would'nt say DC but a base in US territory

Thank you, Mr Ray McGovern, for your wisdom. I hope the collective West’s so-called leaders will listen to you and think.
REAL History
Carriers are big Targets now.
Rey is fantastic as always! America has learned nothing from history!
Given the fact that the US hegemony has practically ended but the illusion amongst western leaders has not, it seems apparent that the situation is increasingly about how other countries manage that.
We are essentially all dependent on the good grace and wise leadership of those other countries ie not the western countries.
Ray, we out here ❤ you.
The absurdity of Gunship Diplomacy for land lubbers.
I am very happy that this channel was recommended to me. What a treasure trove to find.
Thank you Mr. McGovern. Thank you Pascal. Best wishes.

During the war in Vietnam it was considered close to treason to try and understand the feelings of the North Vietnamese. Jane Fonda was nicknamed 'Hanoi Jane'.
Huge thanks to Ray for all you do to inform
God bless you all...
It's such a coincidence that the Ukraine was emptied of people just in time for the Ukrainian converts to Judaism living in Palestine to come back and repopulate Ukraine!
I said the same
😂 Who is actually running the US foreign policy?
This is just incredible situation...it's a sort of coup? Shadow democracy?
Ray maguvern thanks for the great content once again God bless you stay safe and well
Most enlightening! Thank you. ❤
The press in the United States is far from being free, and you certainly know it.
The 90s were rough, my parents had to queue for hours to get basic food rations. You could only have things like jam and chocolate through connections and favors.
Gorbachev and Yeltsin sold and squandered what was built up during the ussr.
The fall of soviet union left the country weakened and corruption thrived. My parents tell me that ussr were the best years, everyone had jobs, everyone had homes, everyone was educated and polite, no homelessness and drugs.
Love listening to Ray McGovern; plenty have commented on his wisdom, historical knowledge and sensitivity - all good. But, Pascal... Your expressions are priceless!
Fascinating, thank you very much !
Zum Thema "Putinversteher": Wer den anderen nicht versteht, der wird zuerst den Frieden verlieren und dann den Krieg. Weil den anderen zu verstehen ist sowohl die Voraussetzung Fuer Frieden als auch fuer einen Sieg im Krieg!
thank you
Thanks Gents, great discussion. And don't worry Ray, your secret's safe with us....😉
There are at least two scenarios of the US firing a nuclear weapon on Russia, but only one outcome.
If the US is intending to fire a nuclear weapon at Russia, in all its narcissist assurance that Russia do not have the balls to fire back on the US with nuclear weapons. But, unexpectedly Russia respond in kind, and of course, on the US. That will take the US nerve, and that would be the end of that.
However, if the US in all its hubris ways is itching for an all or nothing end game with Russia, and fires a nuclear weapon at Russia first, itching for Russia to respond, and as expected, Russia responds. We can be sure the outcome, to this scenario, will be entirely different.
The outcome of both scenarios is the same: the end of life as we know it throughout most of the planet.
Ray is such a great man!
