see the problem is that russia think it's neighbors belong to them, now you might not care at all because it's far away from you but those living there have a very real reason to want protection from this insane country and the only thing to do that is NATO, now if russia wasn't such a garbage country maybe those neighbors wouldn't bee seeking shelter in NATO
They just meandrele leat 150 millions est europeans on Russia Mercy. You know those billions of dollars in contracts usa company's get from Est Europe. You can say by by.
You do understand that he doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about. He’s just regurgitating propaganda that he likes go do some research we’re nowhere near World War III.
eh, not much of a country if you cannot guarantee your responsibilities as a member after one (albeit a big) conflict near the border areas. This is the type of discussion that benefits Russia to the detriment of its neighboring (and a lot smaller countries) - despite having many internal (and external) problems they're able to sow uncertainty among western world and the alliance
I LOVE THIS FORMAT. Bring on guests and your staff is great but THIS type of video is detailed and dense without being cluttered with opinion and conversations. Kinda like a fine whiskey, straight.
@JasonRodriguez-kq7jt I whole-heartedly agree, Brother! Amen. Christ died so a sinner, like myself, might have everlasting life! ( was it because I referenced 'whisky'?)
Six more countries were recently added to BRICS: Egypt, Ethiopia, United Arab Emirates , Saudi Arabia , Argentina and Iran which I think brings their world population to over 50%
In Argentina its looking like their next President might be a bit of an Anarchist, who just so happens to want to replace their currency with the Dollar.
No. Saudi arabia has not joined brics yet. All the online articles on your google page are filled with lies just for clicks (money). They are still just discussing it. These countries were invited. But western media has become so desperate for more views they straight up lie.
I've been watching this channel since PBD had the life sized cut outs of the movie characters on set. The interviews were always compelling, but in the last year, this channel has SOARED over its competitors. The quality of the sets, the production work before and after, the obvious value of the conversations; this has really turned into something that could become a franchise news outlet for the foreseeable future. Congratulations to PBD and the entire team; really great work.
hahaha if you get educated by this you have just been taught a lesson in history that was completely ahistorical and omits key reasons why countries voluntarily joined nato.
PBD does not understand geopolitics, history etc.... He just talks in a nice way......................People in Europe want to joint NATO becouse we know that Russia is a Mafia state that always invades their neighbors.......................PBD is just ignorant
All the dictator minds people fear nato because nato is here to stop dictatorial fantasis and shows the world and people the beauty of freedom and democracy. You are rich because of the freedom and democracy. Otherwise remember where the Iran is now, you birthplace. All the dictator in the world here to supress freedom. People love Nato, so they join Nato. Nato is a peacekeeper, nato didn't attack any democratic country.
@@vindicate7971 part of my is starting to think we’re in the middle of it. Definitely not winning. We are loosing in every way, shape and form possible and I’m not sure why
We hate the hypocrisy of West politicians. They say one thing and do the opposite. Look at EU they ask India to stop buying Russia oil while they themselves still buy it.
Exactly, what they don't realize is India is part of QUAD group, and Russia hates QUAD. Russian FM even said publicly that countries like India shouldn't be part of QUAD because it's western imperialism, but India has actually increase its engagement in QUAD. If India would be pro russia it wouldn't have joined QUAD
Also keep in mind that Russia also wanted to join NATO, but was refused. That, combined with NATO slowly trying to surround Russia and take in ex-USSR states, and the fact that Ukraine has always been Russia's red line, its not surprising why the war in Ukraine is happening
sure NATO keeps poking the Russian bear after world war 2 look what comprised Nato after its conception,look at the encroachment now,hey we,the US didn't like Communist aggression in Cuba
What else is never talked about is our country selling one of the largest American sources of uranium to a Russia based company. Which still own it today….
@@jillzy1182Russia supplied the U.S. nuclear industry with about 12% of its uranium last year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration Pls don't spread lies as someone might believe you😉 educate your self and then let's talk
NATO is very needed in today's world. Without NATO, Europe would be in perpetual war because NATO was able to stop war in Europe for over 50 years since it was formed. The problem is USA who invaded Iraq and Afghanistan illegally, that had nothing to do with NATO but with influence from certain corporations over US govt. NATO, however, is an organization that saved more than one country from extinction. You can argue about illegal interventions but as an organization, NATO was never on the wrong side of history.
Man I’ll tell you what I’m so grateful for having people like Pat and Tucker and the entire info wars as well as Joe Rogan who does things differently but reaches a different audience. Pat has really been on point lately. ✊🏻
“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion […] but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” ― Samuel P. Huntington
That is such an absolutely incorrect statement. The sole fact that immigrants from all over the world head to the US is a clear indicator that they do so for a better idea. Not because they favour violence. Western idealogies are superior (not perfect). Hence the world as we know it...
Superior principles may help you win allies, or they may make you enemies. To this day, Britain still "owes reparations" for "involvement in the slave trade" (taking a stand against it)
@@KopperNeoman😂😂 speaking as a Brit, we don’t owe shit, if anything our families are owed from the African slavers for the thousands of lives our people lost combatting the African and Muslim slave trades 🎉 Shit it wasn’t a few centuries prior that slave boats would patrol UK and Western European coasts looking for villages to capture and transport to the Middle East and African continent. The Empire on which the Sun, never sets 😂🇬🇧
I've been following valuetainment since early covid - 12/10 in value! Your approach to these topics is top notch. I've been talking BRICS for a year with people eye rolling me, now I have a quick 20 minute video for them! Keep it up!
I was part of deployment group called SNFM. Standard NATO Forces Mediterranean. Just about most of the countries we had visited hated NATO and protested the group. I was young and dumb and did not understand. But this thing we are going thru has been boiling in other countries for a long time. It’s like the bully on the playground is about to get whooped by the rest of the kids on the playground cuz then can’t take it anymore. Now they are getting together to get rid of the bully
I am surprised PBD is not addressing why the US is funding Nato the most. It has nothing to do with America being rich. America has 332+millions citizens, Germany 84+ and France has 65+millions. so the contributions would obviously be different in percentage. Also, this huge gap confirms that the US rules over Europe for contracts: military and industrial. That is the colonialist process. We all know who messed up in Ukraine in 2014. Victoria Nuland and the US government she represents. We know so let's stop pretending we are trying to save the world. Democracy as they love to say they defend (DS) is non existant. The priority the US gives to Ukraine is continued corruption. The democrats in the US are implementing the WEF, UN, NATO, WHO etc Agenda 21. everyone wake up.
100% NATO is causing WWIII what peace have the brought between Russia and Ukraine? Zero. In fact NATO encroaching on Russia’s border is what caused this war. The United States is using Ukraine to fight their proxy war and NATO is standing by doing nothing to stop it.
Bingo. As an Indian majority of us share this pov. The respect for the US is falling with each passing war. And we aren't even that affected by US wars, but when u look at the middle East and most of Africa(which is fighting imperialism even now ex niger) they absolutely hate what NATO and especially US has become. And better believe it, Africa and Asia is absolutely on the side of Russia when it comes to direct conflict and don't underestimate BRICS, it's growing big-time now. It's sad what a great country US was and what it's becoming now. Only trump, ramaswamy and maybe RFK really get what's going on, the western politicians have absolutely no idea of geopolitics and they are sleepwalking their own citizens into a major disaster ( both economically and military).
Everyone EVERYONE needs to be hearing what PBD’s Team and channel are putting out. The importance of the content they are providing is truly awesome. An unbiased education you don’t see anywhere else. Gutsy and relevant. So grateful for their content, passion, and valuable intelligence. Namaste
FACT CHECK: NATO bombarding Yogoslavia was not defense action. It was the first time that NATO had used military force without the authorization of the UN Security Council. In a 2004 advisory opinion, the The International Court of Justice stated that the use of force by a state is not lawful unless it is authorized by the Security Council or is justified by self-defense or another exception to the prohibition on the use of force.
Exactly and america didn't do it because it's kind and true cares but for personal gain as usual . Western through this behavior nd we don't buy into the lies anymore .
FACT CHECK: Serbia illegally attacked Croatia in 1991, illegally attacked Bosnia in 1992, illegally attacked Kosovo in 1999. Serbs committed genocide in Bosnia in 1995. NATO intervened in 1999, at the END of the genocidal campaign that Serbia did. NATO did everything they could to appease Serbia and stop their genocidal advance but Serbia didn't listen. In the end, with overwhelming support of the world, NATO intervened and bombed Serb military targets to stop another genocide from happening, and NATO was successful.
Who attacked whom or who did a genocide or who started first will now be left for historians to decide. Not a brainwashed Westerners talking about a convenient genocide. Who said there was a genocide? Dont tell me cnn or us govt
Russia and China blocked a resolution by the UN Security Council. Milosevic was commiting genocide, NATO warned him not to attack Kosovo. Serbs knew the exact time the ultimatum ended and they decided to get bombed.
PBD has one of the best shows in the universe and I thank God his perspective exists and so I hate to nitpick, but personally I would avoid all nike, gillete, bud light and the rest of the pozzed filth out there that has its' strings pulled by ESG. Oh well, can't have it all :).
Is he OK though?..why is he dressed like he retired and was on the way to the locker room at the tennis club..not used to this pat..but the information great as usual brother
1. NATO main goal was to protect capitalist, and it still is one of the main goals. At the moment: 2. every NATO member is, basically, occupied by the US. 3. NATO is the US's main tool of maintaining control over the world, and thus the large US spendings on it. 4. hard to call NATO a defensive alliance after so many wars started by it.
Now try convincing the capitalist extremists here of that. They still think burning the Vietnamese alive was for their own good simply because it was for the sake of capitalism.
The title is anything but reason or deduction and 100% click bait emotional. What did he expose? He just stated what NATO does and its purpose and how its funded.
Fair he openly lies in part Example Bio wepons it was US bio lab in CHina with covid ( Fauci run lab and it was his gain of function research also ) And it was US bio labs In Ukraine witch bte Russia shown evidence at UN but in western info sphere not a word on it then he makes lies of ommision buy refusing to acknowledge that it was US backed goverment that started Genocide of Russian speakers in east part of Ukraine that lead to war and just call it russia lashing out Nah he's shit
He sugarcoats his pro-Russian ideals with these little snippets of information while not giving his opinion honestly and openly. I love Pat but I've noticed him doing this salesmen trick already on this issue too many times. Giving up Ukraine strengthens Russia, therefore BRICS, so what's the point of making a whole essay about it, just say what you have to say, you support Russia... Sadly seems like it's true. Russell Brand started out with this rhetoric also a year ago and now he's pretty much waving the Russian flag, not even denying being sponsored by fertilizer money...
I went to NATO’s website and they said they were beefing up the piers in Crimea so it could handle NATO military ships. Anyone surprised Russia took over Crimea to prevent NATO ships from being stationed their?
They were already there. It was their territory and historical base of their black sea fleet for about 400 years, until a Ukr born Soviet President Khrushchev gifted it and the Donbass to his native homeland Ukr. Odessa was built and founded by Tsarina Catherine the Great. That's why it's full of Russ...this was generally considered Ok since at the time, they were all just states within the Soviet Union...like you have Texas and California, but after it's disintegration in 1991. This started causing major issues. Nevertheless they opted to lease it rather than take it back until 2014 when it was clear that they could lose it altogether.
Khruschev new the land didn't belong to Russia. Crimea was never Rightfully Russian. Communist russia performed a made starvation/genocide operation in Ukraine called Holodomor. Then after the Ukrainian people died of starvation, the russian communists stole the dead Ukrainian peoples land. Just like putin is doing today.
Those that have been to war are not so eager to return to it, those that have never been to war, are so eager to go to war, until they are at war. “Only the dead have seen the end of war.” ― Plato
Today is the anniversary of nine eleven. So sad that thousands of lives were sacrificed in order to create a pretext to enter Iraq and Afghanistan unwelcomed.......only to hand over Iraq to Iran and Afghanistan back to the Taliban.
Politicians can't understand that we can't change their culture of over a thousand years because WE think our way is better. The US had only a few choices. Stay in country as an occupying force for a few GENERATIONS to mold the culture to a democracy or pull out and let the country return to its ways. I am actually surprised we stayed as long but there was a lot of money to be had.
Funny how I have been following this entire global game for over 25 years now and really glad that someone with a big following you that is finally covering something way more important then business and entrepreneurs. I would highly recommend interviewing John Perkins who wrote the book "The economic hitman" His position working directly for the evil elite is beyond informative. I would also interview the fed chairman so Americans can learn directly how the president and congress have no power over them. Then every American would question .. why do we vote for a rigged system and why should any American join the military that only is being used by those behind the federal reserve to establish a New World Order. Americans mean nothing to this government and the Evil elite controlling our presidents, congressmen and women and in charge of U.S. Oil that the people will never benefit from like other leaders in oil rich nations that charge close to nothing for Gas. If the people and President our talking about the federal reserve like Kennedy did before he was killed then we are all talking about nothing. Therefore nothing will ever change until the federal reserve is removed. Until I see a title "lets remove the federal reserve" then everything else is basically meaningless. I am all about chess and not checkers. I am denouncing my citizenship next year so my kids wont grow up in the is corrupt place.
It's never gonna happen my brother without a revolution. Which, isn't gonna happen as long as we got food, entertainment, and comfort that only America has. Meanwhile, the world suffers from our greed not just the elite even regular people would pocket more money than help out their community. We're all guilty and we're all greedy unfortunately
i been living back and forth overseas since 2004 and finally going to denounce my citizenship ... never cared about America since lol @@jasonmedina4414
I believe it was in the Bush Sr. presidency we said we won't push NATO eastward towards Russia. We LIED! How is a country supposed to react when an opposition alliance continually pushes towards its border? Keep backing the bear into a corner and it will eventually fight...welcome to current day. NATO isn't supposed to make Russia happy but its also not supposed to make them angry. It was designed to counter aggression not further it.
@@somebody2468 sure it was founded on defense but you don’t have to be physically aggressive to scare/provoke someone. if you are on a subway and someone is continually looking at you at the other end of the car and slowly starts to seat hop until they are right next to you staring. You have no other place to move to. Are you going to feel safe? That IS aggressive and will make anyone feel threatened. That is what NATO has done to Russia.
Back in the day I was told that the Army Corps of Engineers were founded during WW2 to ensure the quality of construction during war time and that these days they spend 90% of their time trying to prove that they are still needed. That is how I see NATO. They are trying to prove that they are still needed.

“For some time I have been disturbed by the way the CIA has been diverted from its original assignment. It has become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the government....

Normally when I watch a podcast or a video that is more than 10 mins long, I tend to do the 1.25x playback speed to conserve time. But when I started this video, I never had to change the playback speed. This type of informative video is so damn good that you won't see these even if you watch like 100 of videos on YT. Thanks David & thanks @Valuetainment for this video
He can talk can’t he ! I’m always having to check the speed is on normal with him which I like He knows what people want & he’s delivering so hats off to him I’d rather listen to just him in this format rather than when he’s got his cronies in giving it thr 2bits worth
You can argue with their critiques, but it's hard to judge their values. Parts of Ukraine are estimated to be worth a hundred trillion dollars, and that are the parts Russia took over. And that is not hard to believe when Black Americans can't secure concessions or negotiations for reparations, which are now estimated to be worth $40 trillion dollars. Those things isn't hard to believe, especially considering that you can fit more than five United States within Africa, while there some powerful American politicians claim that Africa's resources are worth nothing. That is worth of believing seeing the privilege of corruption continues to persist. 🤔 *The Irish received reparations under the 1944 GI Bill, which meant that even white people received reparations while Black people were locked out of the benefits. Additionally, the Jewish community has received reparations twice - once from Germany, which paid reparations, and the second time under Obama in 2014 when $12 million in reparations were facilitated. Asian Americans have also received payments twice at different times.
Reparations talk is nonsense. It would have made sense back then. Doesn’t make sense 175 years later. Should a child pay for the sins of their parents?
Reparations are a foolish pursuit. The black community needs to focus on getting out of the welfare trap and keeping fathers in their homes. Those two root issues would do a lot to uplift and promote prosperity thus nullifying the need for constant government assistance....the same government that is supposedly systemically racist, why take money from that which is despised. Makes no sense when logic is applied. Just asking for more free stuff will only perpetuate a culture in decline.
Just a few historical facts to consider that are not widely known in the west, that show the NATO's role in the 90's. When in march of 1991 the war in Bosnia was right about to begin, the representatives of the Serb (R. Karadzic), Bosniak (A. Izetbegovic) and Croat (M. Boban) people all signed the Coutillier peace plan which would have prevented the future war and thus future involvement of NATO, then however the Bosniak leader Izetbegovic had a publicly announced meeting with the American ambassador Warren Zimmermаn and by "pure coincidence", Izetbegovic after this meeting "decided" to withdraw his own signature from the peace plan. Just days later the war started with Izetbegovic's militia shooting up a Serbian wedding in Sarajevo, way before any moves were made by the Yugoslav/Serb side. Fast forward to 1999 and the war in Kosovo, American representative in OSCE monitoring mission William Walker went to investigate a supposed mаssacre in the village of Racak commited by the Serb forces against the Albanian civilians, along with him came a forensic from Finland Helena Ranta. They both accused Belgrade and that was used as casus belli for the NATO bombing of Serbia, but as you can already guess, after the war the same Finnish forensic Helena Ranta admitted that the American representative Walker pressured her into tampering with the report, while in reality the supposed "civilian" victims, all male, had bullet holes that were in different places on their "civilian clothes" and on their bodies. Yet, no one in the west ever spoke about it again and to this day NATO and America protect there a majority unrecognized non-UN member self declared republic alike Ossetia and Transnistria, but only Russia is the one that is accused of violating UN rules and territorial integrities of other countries.
you are a Serb.And Serbs and full of them selves. You guys think that your are the "chosen" country of God, in Serbian public television in todays time you got "experts" saying that Elon Musk is Serbian from a tradional tribe in serbia called "Muskovic" (If you dont believe me just type it in) . The cold facts but truth is that the Serbs had under their control the Yugo army, you tried your luck in Croatia and it didnt go as planned, you tried to luck in Bosnia and it kinda went but not totally like you guys had it planned, you tried in Slovenia and coudlnt do it etc etc. They didnt bomb you 1999 only cuz of Kosovo, that was the Karma waiting for you guys to happen. You guys raped, killed, tortured hella Muslim people in a genocide called "Srebrenica" and you killed hella people who were inocent (women,kids, old people) in Ovčara (Croatia) and other cities. Hope you get that karma back in full one day. We stay ready for you guys ;)
You forgot they the guy that shot up in Ossetia and northern Georgia was a CIA asset and celebrated on US media. Then his group shot and bombed up 1000 kids and teachers on September 1st.
Thank you for the info, I don't know much about that conflict but I am not surprised as it sounds exactly like what they did in Ukraine preventing to peace plan.
Thank you, Pat, for saying the important things out loud. You sincerely sound like RFK Jr. In this episode! I love it! I share the same sentiment and know so many, lime us, do as well. It's high time Americans start putting Americans first, and we stop meddling in the affairs of other countries. Thank you for all you do. Keep the great work coming 🌺🌻💫
Yawn RFK is good in one or two things but is terrible with 7-8 other issues, also I would love to see him actually acknowledge the hubris his family legacy overall has had.
There’s literally hundreds of scholars that dive into each of these topics. PBD is just a grifter and fear monger machine. Educate yourself from all angles
im an european and ive been getting increasingly more worried and alarmed by the whole situation... i've been warning people about it all and i usually just get negative reactions, no one is taking me seriously... glad im not wrong about this
Things are what they seem and we are not being told the exact facts. What else is never talked about is our country selling one of the largest American sources of uranium to a Russia based company. Which still own it today….
I'm also European and you should just let it go bro. The midget in Russia isn't going to do a thing, in case you didn't notice by now. And what if he did? Let's hope he bombs us at night so we're all asleep and don't have to live the last few seconds/minutes in fear. People here have had a good life bro, we're the best/smartest/richest continent on Earth and the reason all our enemies are where they are. Without Europe, there would be no Russia, no Middle East, no Israel, no USA. They should thank us.
Eastern-european here. I don't know anyone in this region who would be worried too much. I think the western society is more worried than the countries bordering RU (or former USSR republics). Maybe because that their only source of info is western media or other YT western "experts"? But those who live in RU language media sphere - knows things that make them not to worry so much.
@michaelradisis2980 finally someone with real facts,not to forget how nato bombed civilians with depleted uranium, and pdp attentionally forgot to mention how russia has supersonic ballistic missiles so they don't really need aircraft carrier
@@michaelradisis2980 yeah the Serbians were being good neighbors when NATO smacked the shit out of them? No they were filling mass graves. They were killing civilians in numbers not seen since the Nazis
When the BRICS Currency is fully accepted - first they must have one. And the dollar-dept outside the US is huge, and to get out of the $ the $-debts first must be paid, which will push the demand for $ further. Check out the inflation rate of the BRICS-Countries and specially of the countries, that announced wanting become part of the BRICS. "Want to do" and "able to do" are not the same thing.
There are big changes taking place in the middle east, all Arabian Countries start pulling together the same rope. Israel won't be exited about it, which reminds me of the prediction about how WW3 will be started.
No more war I pray, with the Russian Ukraine crisis, all markets have gone wild. This is the riskiest time to invest! Most expensive market ever, most leverage in market ever, interest rates rising, inflation nightmare, and war!
You can properly diverse your portfolio now. If you didn’t close your positions, you might not be safe and if you did inflation will devalue your money. Consult with a financial advisor, the markets are crazy enough to make a lot of profit likewise a lot of loss.
US is the NATO. US wants to weaken Russia and China to maintain the hegemon status. After Russia, NATO/US is going after China.. So I don't even know where have you been in the past 20 years.
Awesome video! Can you also do a video on what happened in 1971. There were many things that happened in that same year that is kinda suspicious like independence of dollar from gold standard and the formation of the world economic forum. Elon musk also hinted on that year as he was saying in a podcast that the fake idea that is overpopulation was suddenly pushed in 1971. Would be very interesting if there was a correlation in these things.
Many people forget that the decoupling of the Dollar from Gold is merely returning to the roots of the Dollar - it was created specifically because the Loyalists had more gold. (Despite most rich Americans being Yankees, oddly enough)
Thank you for the nato history lesson. I did not know this before. I love your show! It's so easy for the politicians to get the people on their side fighting against Russia because people are ignorant (often unknowingly) of all the facts. Your show is so important for educating people. Thsnk you for doing what you do.

@@anacc3257 Remember we sanctioned Cuba for years because Castro and Russia had missile. Do you think the US will stand still if Russia or China installed missiles in Mexico or Canada?
Would also be interesting if you correlated the timeframe of the Eastern European nations who have joined NATO as compared to when them same nations joined the EU. Another major thing that is also overlooked is that Putin did make continued overtures to the NATO alliance with regards to becoming included in some way as a collective security measure but was continually rebuffed, and given the date it is also worth mentioning he made the same efforts of offer support to the US in the wake of the 9/11 attacks but was also overlooked. Very much reaping what they sowed now !!
@@anthonym8395 former soviet nations have this extreme hatred for the soviet union. how much? well i'm Estonian and we hated soviet union so much we literally got our own branch of the German SS in WW2. my great great uncle was a Estonian Legion SS solider. but this hatred is stupid because our cultures mix allot and the hatred for the soviet has made my country get in bed with the US and now our culture is dying out. people are also blinded by western propaganda. people think Russia is a big evil dictatorship that tortures people and shit like they did in the early soviet union. but Russia is no worse than the USA. actually Russia is better because all the bad Russia does USA does to but just hides it better (which you see now is starting to fall apart and people start to realise) but all the good that Russia does USA don't. like healthcare for example or even the basic human right to a vacation. something that even slave labour in china get's by law. yes by law they have the right to vacation. USA don't have that. you have no right to vacation in the USA.vacations is not a right it's a luxury and it's something the employer decides and not just a basic human right. also 1 mcdonalds job in Russa affords you more than 2minimum wage jobs + food stamps in the US.
At least Trump had the guts to tell the rest of the NATO allies who have been sponging off US contributions for years, to contribute and cough up some cash and carry their own weight instead of getting a hand-out.
Fuck that! NATO is essentially under the control of the US, now the US doesn't want to pay for it anymore coz cash is becoming tight. Why would any other country want to pay more if NATO is purely a vehicle for the US's wars all over the world?
It is not like countries are depositing money to a NATO bank account. He gets it all wrong. US uses 3.5% on defense because it wants to be a military superpower. The money spent on NATO in Europe is a very small fraction of that. 850 billion is the entire US defense. NATO countries are increasing their spending rapidly. Poland from 2% to 3%. Their goal is 5%. Everything has changed in Europe after the war. Pat fails to mention that. Sad.

Excellent post, Pat. In my personal opinion NATO has never been a deterrent against global aggression. The war business has been managed like any other. The exception being, that the product is strategic depopulation and the acquisition by force of ownership and control of resources. Including people. The misapplication of technology in warfare has made wars scalable. You're probably familiar with the global conflict maps which have offered instant situation reports over the last several decades. If you track the conflicts they can be correlated to mineral resources, drug trafficking, human trafficking, money laundering and hence, covert operations. The territorial imperatives reflect the global agendas which until recently were dismissed as conspiracy theories. The game of nations has only escalated since the beginning of the 20th century. In the 21st, it's about consolidation and absolute control over the individual citizens. The unelected multilateral rulership are perfectly willing to have a limited nuclear conflict or to use the threat of one in order to frighten the world into compliance. You're spot on about the cyberwarfare, biological and the psychological warfare. We need an America First policy in order to regain control of economic sectors which have been sold out by the wholly-owned political establishment of Washington DC. If we don't purge our governments, federal, state, county, municipal, and local in 2024, it's game over for the American Republic.
@@anthonym8395 Nearly all former soviet states were couped or puppet states. The people had no freedoms, most of their money went to Russia. Of course they didn't want to be under the threat of Russian occupation.
@@tuncozbora2244 What argument? The question is whether there was a formal application to join NATO. There was not. Furthermore, Russia had an active war with the second Chechan War in 2000 when Putin floated the idea. That is another no-go. None of the previously occupied USSR states wanted to be under threat of Russia again, that's why many joined NATO. There is no WW3 yet. Red herring.
stop pissing off other countries and their people and leaders, stop interfering in other countries, your "help" under fake "democracy" slogan is not needed and not wanted. worry about your own country internal matters

America is being killed from the inside and most of it's people aren't seeing it happen.
Love the fact that the only "proof is in the pudding" of the alliance working is the alliance being used as an agressor (not a defender) vs Serbia for what was an internal conflict, and which was later proven by release of pentagon documentation that no cleansing of any sort happened.
Let's not forget that the ICC literally murdered Milosevic because the judges couldn't find him guilty of anything, other than petty financial crimes, which are a nation's internal matter.

Pat it's not about destroyers or aircraft carriers that makes our navy different. The thing that intimidates the enemies of the US military is our massive and highly secretive submarine fleet. They are beyond challenging to track and they usually have a nuclear armament on top of their standard counter measures. Those things are terrifying in terms of their destructive power but are also virtually invisible
Russia and China have exceptional modern submarine fleet, and those Russian nuclear underwater torpedo tsunami makers are something else. I think a lot of US arsenal are old and outdated, both naval and submarines.
@@ledzepandhabs We spend exceptional amounts of money on our military. Like, retarded amounts of money that should never have been spent(or would never have been spent) without the military industrial complex purposely creating conflicts the world over.
I can confidently speak on behalf of India , we don't hate anyone. We are taught since a very young age not to hate anyone but we Indians firmly believe in equal and opposite reaction. Even in the case of Pakistan we don't want what is not ours if today Pakistan wakes up and vacates Pakistan occupied Kashmir and stops state sponsored terrorism we will accept them with open arms (and a bit of skepticism)
I don't understand the America first narrative. Everything politicians do is to put their nation's priorities first. Even NATO is an alliance put forth to put member states priorities first - including the United States.
Pat is a numbers and data man and identifies the sort of info that most people ignore or don’t know what to look for. Folks need to really pay attention to what he’s saying.
Also based on incorrect public data. I am russian (unfortunately) and russian army is nowhere near to second place in power. Corruption is on such level that you can’t imagine and the whole army was stolen and sold. That is russia can’t even move into ukraine any further and pass the 2014 occupied lines. What second power he talks about😩 Pat is definitely has views and good ones but politic is not it. China and India are definitely strong but all other countries in Brics poor and don’t produce shit. Imagine being of fan of murder dictators in 2023…
No, These topics are so far over his head and he doesn't even care about it in the slightest. Idk why tff everyone thinks they can so easily deduce these complicated geopolitical strategies? Its batshit wild to me. You can't be this ignorant about anything else and get away with it
America needs to worry about the enemy that's inside its own country that is breaching its information to all who would listen. America is looking real weak out here as a bully on the playground. Everyone trying to cover up what has occurred and not address the real issue. It's impossible to get true friendship with other countries when those countries can see clear as day...America is very divided and the majority has its head in the ass of liars. Big problem.
Part of me feels like WW3 has been playing out and we’re creeping up to the losing end of it. While our military aged youth is arguing about genders and being furries. Great point about the worlds resentment with us as we go around forcing our “democracy” on others, they have strong feelings against us and we have strong feelings against each other and are oblivious to the world. Brics with 45% of the population and us having 13% is also a terrifying.
U dont have to worry about the US being on the loosing end of WW3. There will be no winners if it does. The USA is going to bungle up handling or dealing with BRICS. The reason for BRICS taking shape in itself is due to the USA abusing the dollars role as a global currency. The USA had been asked not to weaponsize the dollar. The rest of the world had called out to the USA to stop imposing economic sanctions unilaterally or the rest of the world will be forced to find an alternate to the dollar as the global currency. As usual, I think the USA no longer answers to its citizens. I mean look at Iraq 2.0 We would have thought that there would have been serious reforms in its approach to foreign policy after that debacle. Not only it had not, but the Warpigs have only become greedier and greedier. Lets not make a mistake. We south east asians are asking ourselves what the eff is NATO doing on our backyard. NATO is responding to Chinese aggression in the South China Sea? Blud, you far far away from home. There is no other way. USA Inc. The evil empire has to have an internal collapse for the world to have a chance. Or its WW3.
I've stepped back and taken a good look at the world since my retirement. I have the time now. And what do I see during my life..... agent orange and napalm in Vietnam, millions killed. I see Iraq in flames. I see Afghanistan crushed. I see Libya descend into madness with mass migration into Europe and slave markets. I see Syria broken open and Islamic extremists running riot there and in Iraq, beheading, raping, stealing. And now we have Ukraine...destroyed in preference to the quite reasonable Minsk Accords. And who is at the root of all this? America. America doesn't spread democracy and human rights....it spreads chaos, slaughter, grand theft and its hegemony. America and the other NATO countries are bringing about another world war.....the only question is will it be Cold or Hot.
There are not going to be any winners if WW3 happens. Regardless of how badly they are neutering our military(literally and figuratively) since that is one war that will end without anybody needing to put boots on the ground anywhere. It's just going to be intercontinental ballistic missiles carrying nukes. Oh yeah, and the biological weapons. Those will do a number on everyone as well.
I remember that! If Russia joined who would the enemy be? Why build or keep a military? Why spend money on weapons? Oops, we must keep the military industrial complex fed.
Pat you always will put the argument! I think most Americans would care to keep it American but we're forced into a system that we have no control of our tax dollars that feed the rest of the world 🤦🏿♂️ I stand with your statement 💪🏿
The book None Dare Call it Conspiracy exposed NATO and our government over 40 years ago. That book is a rare gem that foretold so much going on today...
the reason US puts most money among the NATO partners is because NATO is important for US to maintain their hold in Europe. at one point even European nations were debating if NATO is any good for Europe and if they should dismantle NATO and form EU's US-Independent Military arm (they'd be very powerful if they did that, likely superior to China). This would've enabled Europeans to trade with Russia without American intervention. Also, Germany doesn't want to spoil their ties to China for US, because China is Germany's largest automobile market for their most expensive cars.
yep, this is the part most youtube "experts" do not know or understand. it's a barter between the US and other allied nations. access to their land, seas and airspace and more- priceless, in order to have global reach and dominance at will.
The European economy if combined into a super state would rival even the American one, and if you look at the combined arms of NATO minus the USA then they are almost equals, so the US gets a non united allied front that basically doubles the military size of the American one, except from carriers and nukes.
You dont need to make Russia happy, but also, dont piss someone off. Dont do to others what you dont want yourself. Love your work. Thank you
The US got too greedy and tried taking all of Europe with nato. The Russian Empire is keeping a hostile alliance from its vulnerable border
see the problem is that russia think it's neighbors belong to them, now you might not care at all because it's far away from you but those living there have a very real reason to want protection from this insane country and the only thing to do that is NATO,

NATO is very needed in today's world. Without NATO, Europe would be in perpetual war because NATO was able to stop war in Europe for over 50 years since it was formed. The problem is USA who invaded Iraq and Afghanistan illegally, that had nothing to do with NATO but with influence from certain corporations over US govt.
NATO, however, is an organization that saved more than one country from extinction.
You can argue about illegal interventions but as an organization, NATO was never on the wrong side of history.

“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion […] but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.”
― Samuel P. Huntington
That is such an absolutely incorrect statement.
The sole fact that immigrants from all over the world head to the US is a clear indicator that they do so for a better idea. Not because they favour violence. Western idealogies are superior (not perfect). Hence the world as we know it...

I am surprised PBD is not addressing why the US is funding Nato the most. It has nothing to do with America being rich. America has 332+millions citizens, Germany 84+ and France has 65+millions. so the contributions would obviously be different in percentage. Also, this huge gap confirms that the US rules over Europe for contracts: military and industrial. That is the colonialist process. We all know who messed up in Ukraine in 2014. Victoria Nuland and the US government she represents. We know so let's stop pretending we are trying to save the world. Democracy as they love to say they defend (DS) is non existant. The priority the US gives to Ukraine is continued corruption. The democrats in the US are implementing the WEF, UN, NATO, WHO etc Agenda 21. everyone wake up.
100% NATO is causing WWIII
what peace have the brought between Russia and Ukraine? Zero. In fact NATO encroaching on Russia’s border is what caused this war. The United States is using Ukraine to fight their proxy war and NATO is standing by doing nothing to stop it.
Bingo. As an Indian majority of us share this pov. The respect for the US is falling with each passing war. And we aren't even that affected by US wars, but when u look at the middle East and most of Africa(which is fighting imperialism even now ex niger) they absolutely hate what NATO and especially US has become. And better believe it, Africa and Asia is absolutely on the side of Russia when it comes to direct conflict and don't underestimate BRICS, it's growing big-time now.
It's sad what a great country US was and what it's becoming now.
Only trump, ramaswamy and maybe RFK really get what's going on, the western politicians have absolutely no idea of geopolitics and they are sleepwalking their own citizens into a major disaster ( both economically and military).

FACT CHECK: NATO bombarding Yogoslavia was not defense action. It was the first time that NATO had used military force without the authorization of the UN Security Council. In a 2004 advisory opinion, the The International Court of Justice stated that the use of force by a state is not lawful unless it is authorized by the Security Council or is justified by self-defense or another exception to the prohibition on the use of force.
Exactly and america didn't do it because it's kind and true cares but for personal gain as usual . Western through this behavior nd we don't buy into the lies anymore .
The ‘elites’ made laws for us, not themselves.
FACT CHECK: Serbia illegally attacked Croatia in 1991, illegally attacked Bosnia in 1992, illegally attacked Kosovo in 1999. Serbs committed genocide in Bosnia in 1995. NATO intervened in 1999, at the END of the genocidal campaign that Serbia did. NATO did everything they could to appease Serbia and stop their genocidal advance but Serbia didn't listen. In the end, with overwhelming support of the world, NATO intervened and bombed Serb military targets to stop another genocide from happening, and NATO was successful.
Who attacked whom or who did a genocide or who started first will now be left for historians to decide. Not a brainwashed Westerners talking about a convenient genocide. Who said there was a genocide? Dont tell me cnn or us govt
Russia and China blocked a resolution by the UN Security Council. Milosevic was commiting genocide, NATO warned him not to attack Kosovo. Serbs knew the exact time the ultimatum ended and they decided to get bombed.

1. NATO main goal was to protect capitalist, and it still is one of the main goals.
At the moment:
2. every NATO member is, basically, occupied by the US.
3. NATO is the US's main tool of maintaining control over the world, and thus the large US spendings on it.
4. hard to call NATO a defensive alliance after so many wars started by it.
So true. A little known fact is that NATO has committed terrorist acts in the past (in Italy) and recently too, by blowing up Nord Stream 2
Now try convincing the capitalist extremists here of that. They still think burning the Vietnamese alive was for their own good simply because it was for the sake of capitalism.

Nah he's shit
He sugarcoats his pro-Russian ideals with these little snippets of information while not giving his opinion honestly and openly. I love Pat but I've noticed him doing this salesmen trick already on this issue too many times. Giving up Ukraine strengthens Russia, therefore BRICS, so what's the point of making a whole essay about it, just say what you have to say, you support Russia... Sadly seems like it's true. Russell Brand started out with this rhetoric also a year ago and now he's pretty much waving the Russian flag, not even denying being sponsored by fertilizer money...
Saying that all the countries hate Americans it's not based on reasonable things
he has no clue about geopolitics.

I went to NATO’s website and they said they were beefing up the piers in Crimea so it could handle NATO military ships. Anyone surprised Russia took over Crimea to prevent NATO ships from being stationed their?
They were already there. It was their territory and historical base of their black sea fleet for about 400 years, until a Ukr born Soviet President Khrushchev gifted it and the Donbass to his native homeland Ukr. Odessa was built and founded by Tsarina Catherine the Great.
That's why it's full of Russ...this was generally considered Ok since at the time, they were all just states within the Soviet Union...like you have Texas and California, but after it's disintegration in 1991.
This started causing major issues. Nevertheless they opted to lease it rather than take it back until 2014 when it was clear that they could lose it altogether.
Khruschev new the land didn't belong to Russia. Crimea was never Rightfully Russian. Communist russia performed a made starvation/genocide operation in Ukraine called Holodomor. Then after the Ukrainian people died of starvation, the russian communists stole the dead Ukrainian peoples land. Just like putin is doing today.
Russia took Crimea because it is a vital port for them.

Politicians can't understand that we can't change their culture of over a thousand years because WE think our way is better. The US had only a few choices. Stay in country as an occupying force for a few GENERATIONS to mold the culture to a democracy or pull out and let the country return to its ways. I am actually surprised we stayed as long but there was a lot of money to be had.
Funny how I have been following this entire global game for over 25 years now and really glad that someone with a big following you that is finally covering something way more important then business and entrepreneurs.
I would highly recommend interviewing John Perkins who wrote the book "The economic hitman" His position working directly for the evil elite is beyond informative. I would also interview the fed chairman so Americans can learn directly how the president and congress have no power over them.
Then every American would question .. why do we vote for a rigged system and why should any American join the military that only is being used by those behind the federal reserve to establish a New World Order.
Americans mean nothing to this government and the Evil elite controlling our presidents, congressmen and women and in charge of U.S. Oil that the people will never benefit from like other leaders in oil rich nations that charge close to nothing for Gas.
If the people and President our talking about the federal reserve like Kennedy did before he was killed then we are all talking about nothing. Therefore nothing will ever change until the federal reserve is removed.
Until I see a title "lets remove the federal reserve" then everything else is basically meaningless. I am all about chess and not checkers. I am denouncing my citizenship next year so my kids wont grow up in the is corrupt place.

You can argue with their critiques, but it's hard to judge their values. Parts of Ukraine are estimated to be worth a hundred trillion dollars, and that are the parts Russia took over.
And that is not hard to believe when Black Americans can't secure concessions or negotiations for reparations, which are now estimated to be worth $40 trillion dollars.
Those things isn't hard to believe, especially considering that you can fit more than five United States within Africa, while there some powerful American politicians claim that Africa's resources are worth nothing.
That is worth of believing seeing the privilege of corruption continues to persist. 🤔
*The Irish received reparations under the 1944 GI Bill, which meant that even white people received reparations while Black people were locked out of the benefits. Additionally, the Jewish community has received reparations twice - once from Germany, which paid reparations, and the second time under Obama in 2014 when $12 million in reparations were facilitated. Asian Americans have also received payments twice at different times.
Reparations talk is nonsense. It would have made sense back then. Doesn’t make sense 175 years later. Should a child pay for the sins of their parents?
Reparations 😂. How about you start asking for reparations from Africa first since they sold off what are now black Americans.
Reparations are a foolish pursuit. The black community needs to focus on getting out of the welfare trap and keeping fathers in their homes. Those two root issues would do a lot to uplift and promote prosperity thus nullifying the need for constant government assistance....the same government that is supposedly systemically racist, why take money from that which is despised. Makes no sense when logic is applied. Just asking for more free stuff will only perpetuate a culture in decline.
Reparations. laughable, just be happy you are an American and get a job, quit begging for a handout you don't deserve, and have no claim for.
Yep. Russia needs that cash.

Good morning everyone!
Thanks so much for this information
Just a few historical facts to consider that are not widely known in the west, that show the NATO's role in the 90's. When in march of 1991 the war in Bosnia was right about to begin, the representatives of the Serb (R. Karadzic), Bosniak (A. Izetbegovic) and Croat (M. Boban) people all signed the Coutillier peace plan which would have prevented the future war and thus future involvement of NATO, then however the Bosniak leader Izetbegovic had a publicly announced meeting with the American ambassador Warren Zimmermаn and by "pure coincidence", Izetbegovic after this meeting "decided" to withdraw his own signature from the peace plan. Just days later the war started with Izetbegovic's militia shooting up a Serbian wedding in Sarajevo, way before any moves were made by the Yugoslav/Serb side. Fast forward to 1999 and the war in Kosovo, American representative in OSCE monitoring mission William Walker went to investigate a supposed mаssacre in the village of Racak commited by the Serb forces against the Albanian civilians, along with him came a forensic from Finland Helena Ranta. They both accused Belgrade and that was used as casus belli for the NATO bombing of Serbia, but as you can already guess, after the war the same Finnish forensic Helena Ranta admitted that the American representative Walker pressured her into tampering with the report, while in reality the supposed "civilian" victims, all male, had bullet holes that were in different places on their "civilian clothes" and on their bodies. Yet, no one in the west ever spoke about it again and to this day NATO and America protect there a majority unrecognized non-UN member self declared republic alike Ossetia and Transnistria, but only Russia is the one that is accused of violating UN rules and territorial integrities of other countries.
you are a Serb.And Serbs and full of them selves. You guys think that your are the "chosen" country of God, in Serbian public television in todays time you got "experts" saying that Elon Musk is Serbian from a tradional tribe in serbia called "Muskovic" (If you dont believe me just type it in) . The cold facts but truth is that the Serbs had under their control the Yugo army, you tried your luck in Croatia and it didnt go as planned, you tried to luck in Bosnia and it kinda went but not totally like you guys had it planned, you tried in Slovenia and coudlnt do it etc etc. They didnt bomb you 1999 only cuz of Kosovo, that was the Karma waiting for you guys to happen. You guys raped, killed, tortured hella Muslim people in a genocide called "Srebrenica" and you killed hella people who were inocent (women,kids, old people) in Ovčara (Croatia) and other cities. Hope you get that karma back in full one day. We stay ready for you guys ;)
They dont care bcs they dont know, thanks for reminder
You forgot they the guy that shot up in Ossetia and northern Georgia was a CIA asset and celebrated on US media. Then his group shot and bombed up 1000 kids and teachers on September 1st.
And you forgot that the bomb in the ban in the Russia and Georgia border was NATO job and the whole Sakashvili mess was NATO/CIA situation.
Thank you for the info, I don't know much about that conflict but I am not surprised as it sounds exactly like what they did in Ukraine preventing to peace plan.

When the BRICS Currency is fully accepted - first they must have one. And the dollar-dept outside the US is huge, and to get out of the $ the $-debts first must be paid, which will push the demand for $ further. Check out the inflation rate of the BRICS-Countries and specially of the countries, that announced wanting become part of the BRICS. "Want to do" and "able to do" are not the same thing.
There are big changes taking place in the middle east, all Arabian Countries start pulling together the same rope. Israel won't be exited about it, which reminds me of the prediction about how WW3 will be started.
No more war I pray, with the Russian Ukraine crisis, all markets have gone wild. This is the riskiest time to invest! Most expensive market ever, most leverage in market ever, interest rates rising, inflation nightmare, and war!

Awesome video! Can you also do a video on what happened in 1971. There were many things that happened in that same year that is kinda suspicious like independence of dollar from gold standard and the formation of the world economic forum. Elon musk also hinted on that year as he was saying in a podcast that the fake idea that is overpopulation was suddenly pushed in 1971. Would be very interesting if there was a correlation in these things.
Many people forget that the decoupling of the Dollar from Gold is merely returning to the roots of the Dollar - it was created specifically because the Loyalists had more gold. (Despite most rich Americans being Yankees, oddly enough)

It's about time someone is speaking out about this reality.
At least Trump had the guts to tell the rest of the NATO allies who have been sponging off US contributions for years, to contribute and cough up some cash and carry their own weight instead of getting a hand-out.
Fuck that! NATO is essentially under the control of the US, now the US doesn't want to pay for it anymore coz cash is becoming tight. Why would any other country want to pay more if NATO is purely a vehicle for the US's wars all over the world?
It is not like countries are depositing money to a NATO bank account. He gets it all wrong. US uses 3.5% on defense because it wants to be a military superpower. The money spent on NATO in Europe is a very small fraction of that. 850 billion is the entire US defense. NATO countries are increasing their spending rapidly. Poland from 2% to 3%. Their goal is 5%. Everything has changed in Europe after the war. Pat fails to mention that. Sad.
Yes Trump has our best interests at heart. He even got us out of the who and green new deal. We need to get him back into office!
Lol as if US does not have all the control and most benefits from nato

Excellent post, Pat. In my personal opinion NATO has never been a deterrent against global aggression. The war business has been managed like any other. The exception being, that the product is strategic depopulation and the acquisition by force of ownership and control of resources. Including people.
The misapplication of technology in warfare has made wars scalable. You're probably familiar with the global conflict maps which have offered instant situation reports over the last several decades. If you track the conflicts they can be correlated to mineral resources, drug trafficking, human trafficking, money laundering and hence, covert operations.
The territorial imperatives reflect the global agendas which until recently were dismissed as conspiracy theories.
The game of nations has only escalated since the beginning of the 20th century. In the 21st, it's about consolidation and absolute control over the individual citizens. The unelected multilateral rulership are perfectly willing to have a limited nuclear conflict or to use the threat of one in order to frighten the world into compliance.
You're spot on about the cyberwarfare, biological and the psychological warfare.
We need an America First policy in order to regain control of economic sectors which have been sold out by the wholly-owned political establishment of Washington DC. If we don't purge our governments, federal, state, county, municipal, and local in 2024, it's game over for the American Republic.

Great point about the worlds resentment with us as we go around forcing our “democracy” on others, they have strong feelings against us and we have strong feelings against each other and are oblivious to the world.

U dont have to worry about the US being on the loosing end of WW3.
There will be no winners if it does.
The USA is going to bungle up handling or dealing with BRICS.
The reason for BRICS taking shape in itself is due to the USA abusing the dollars role as a global currency.
The USA had been asked not to weaponsize the dollar.
The rest of the world had called out to the USA to stop imposing economic sanctions unilaterally or the rest of the world will be forced to find an alternate to the dollar as the global currency.

We would have thought that there would have been serious reforms in its approach to foreign policy after that debacle.
Not only it had not, but the Warpigs have only become greedier and greedier.
Lets not make a mistake.
We south east asians are asking ourselves what the eff is NATO doing on our backyard.
NATO is responding to Chinese aggression in the South China Sea?
Blud, you far far away from home.
There is no other way.
USA Inc. The evil empire has to have an internal collapse for the world to have a chance.
Or its WW3.
I've stepped back and taken a good look at the world since my retirement. I have the time now.
And what do I see during my life..... agent orange and napalm in Vietnam, millions killed. I see Iraq in flames. I see Afghanistan crushed. I see Libya descend into madness with mass migration into Europe and slave markets. I see Syria broken open and Islamic extremists running riot there and in Iraq, beheading, raping, stealing. And now we have Ukraine...destroyed in preference to the quite reasonable Minsk Accords.
And who is at the root of all this?
America.
America doesn't spread democracy and human rights....it spreads chaos, slaughter, grand theft and its hegemony.
America and the other NATO countries are bringing about another world war.....the only question is will it be Cold or Hot.
There are not going to be any winners if WW3 happens. Regardless of how badly they are neutering our military(literally and figuratively) since that is one war that will end without anybody needing to put boots on the ground anywhere. It's just going to be intercontinental ballistic missiles carrying nukes. Oh yeah, and the biological weapons. Those will do a number on everyone as well.
Awesome Breakdown.. Pat always keeps it educational.
Did you know that there was a time that Russia Once Tried to Join NATO and the West says NO?
I remember that! If Russia joined who would the enemy be? Why build or keep a military? Why spend money on weapons? Oops, we must keep the military industrial complex fed.
That was USSR, not Russia.
No the USSR wanted to join NATO and get special treatment and follow none of the democratic principles...
@@Mister_HoldsworthNo, kid, it was Russia when Putin asked Clinton to join Nato and was told a big NO!
@@Xcepter
TH-cam video in 2008 still exist and we can see it was russia that ask to be NATO member
Pat you always will put the argument! I think most Americans would care to keep it American but we're forced into a system that we have no control of our tax dollars that feed the rest of the world 🤦🏿♂️ I stand with your statement 💪🏿
Вы живете за счет всего мира.🤌🤌🤌
The 51st Article of the UN Charter created NATO. Let that sink in.
Taxation without representation, sounds familiar
The UN & the WEF created BRICS. Let that sink in.
Americans have a choice, but they choose not to protest their government. People are too comfortable.
The book None Dare Call it Conspiracy exposed NATO and our government over 40 years ago. That book is a rare gem that foretold so much going on today...
This is one of the best channel I can have ever subscribed to.
Always brilliant assessments. Best channel on the World Wide Web. 🙏💪💪💪
the reason US puts most money among the NATO partners is because NATO is important for US to maintain their hold in Europe.
at one point even European nations were debating if NATO is any good for Europe and if they should dismantle NATO and form EU's US-Independent Military arm (they'd be very powerful if they did that, likely superior to China). This would've enabled Europeans to trade with Russia without American intervention.
Also, Germany doesn't want to spoil their ties to China for US, because China is Germany's largest automobile market for their most expensive cars.
yep, this is the part most youtube "experts" do not know or understand. it's a barter between the US and other allied nations. access to their land, seas and airspace and more- priceless, in order to have global reach and dominance at will.
@@glambor1Yeah.
I know that guys like Pat want US out of NATO even if they don’t say it publicly.
Once we get out, our global reach is gone.
The European economy if combined into a super state would rival even the American one, and if you look at the combined arms of NATO minus the USA then they are almost equals, so the US gets a non united allied front that basically doubles the military size of the American one, except from carriers and nukes.
this comment didn't age well
As always pat I love what you do and how much you care for our great nation.
he is not. He is making money
So glad that you actually have the guts to spill the truth. Bravo 👏👏
Thank you Pat for highlighting this injustice ❤
