@RKA RKA l don't agree. USUK warmongers have in recent times written their own propaganda against both China (through their money-laundering citizens and employees in Hong-Kong which had recently been returned to China as per agreement which they were very unhappy about)and also in all Russian outlets they had any access to to unsettle the population, many who've gotten used to believing the rubbish they read in these.
@Beast Mode I won't cry about it when hypersonic missiles come to see you off. Make sure you let us know when you're there so we can start launching the missiles 😁 you won't be going home in body bags 👻
Despite this short interview Benjamin Norton' manage to deliver the answers to the questions with precise facts. Salute to his professionalism as journalist.
I like the premise of the content but I didn't catch any of those answers to statements made. Think you should watch again and make sure you are seeing questions and answers here. This is not as clear as you presume. I like questioning narrative and forming my opinion as an individual, but that doesn't just stop when I get here.
@@ivanho7268 I appreciate that concern. But my issue is that I am not the journalist in seeking my questions to be answered. Real journalists ask the right questions and get answers. I am just advising here in regards to this media piece and your comment that all these people are doing is making propositions and statements, but not clearly stating anything unobjectively. The news is supposed to be unobjective, unbiased and given with transparent factual and verifiable rationale.
@@MuffinManUSN You are right, but in reality it is hard to hear the true from certain media sources that has agenda. To be said bluntly most western MSM has agendas, you may not agree with Benjamin Norton narratives, that is your prerogative.
@David Lillecrapp of course a kin like you would vomit to see people exposing imperialism and illusion of freedom in america like him. It touches your nerves isnt it? Stay mad, anglo.
Ben is so articulate and his diction is so clear, it is always a pleasure to listen to him speak. Of course he speaks truth to power without fear and that is why he is doing a very important job in today's world.
@Beast Mode get a grip. He was saying the same thing when he was living and working in the US. That is why it's so polished, same spiel for years. The premise and frame work are always the same. Wang was great in pointing out that one basic frame comes from Noam Chomski's manufacturing consent, the other is the US regime change narrative. Ben is a well read socialist/communist, he has his rhetoric down, and can fit any current events into that frame work. It's not McCarthy times anymore, you can be a communist in the US and nobody will bother you. It's the right wingers that want to overthrow the government these days, as January 6th demonstrated. Those are the ones that should move to Russia.
Shame that just having Ben on shows like this gets him labeled as "funded by the Chinese government". People are beyond dumb these days. Thanks for having him on.

Excellent video to hear the opinions on a wide spectrum of issues around the world, from a very well-read and knowledgeable guest BEN NORTON of Multipolarista. Tqvm Mr Wang Guang of CGTN for your Qs and enquiries on the pressing affairs of the world. I have been following Ben and I found that my whole outlook of the world has truly & thoroughly been educated by this young man whose concern about the welfare of the world and humanity as a whole is truly remarkable. I hoping that more people will come across all his educational videos! One can tell from all his videos how much work he has put in to produce each and every one of them. He deserved our help in spreading his videos as well as the public deserves to know what is going around us in this 'dark-age' era.
This Benjamin Norton has a great Potential to become one of the greatest Journalist in the world because of his true objective Analyses of Facts . He has a clear knowledge of what he is saying and a very Sympathetic Rhetoric Tone. Great Video of the Discussion. Schapo 👍👏👏👏🥰
Thank you for sharing this gem of a reporter. As a Latin American, I appreciate his work as well as Tele Sur. It's difficult to find good center-left, honest journalism. Gracia, again to Ben and CTGN/HUB.
Wang Guan does an excellent job with interview questions showing he has done his homework. Ben Norton is one of the handful of US independent journalists who have complete credibility and integrity.
Benjamin Norton's thorough knowledge of geopolitics and its moving parts in today's world is just amazing. This has been a most enlightening interview.
Thank you Ben for your insight. You are obviously knowledgeable and intelligent. I really enjoy listening to you talk and agree with your assessments on all the matters you talked about. Keep it up, dude. We need more like you.
CGTN, you have just invited a wonderful guest Mr Ben Norton. Thank you. Please don't forget to invite Max Blumental, The Grayzone. And of course not forgetting Vijay Prashad.
@@AZ-rg3rf Didn't think that Max and Ben had a fall out. They are both in different countries reporting different things. Max is residing in the US and Ben is in Nicaragua. His specialised in Spanish. Where did you get the info?
@@AZ-rg3rf There are lots of rumours over the internet. Example there are rumours that Gonzola Lira had conversation with Scott Ritter and he confirmed that he did not. George Galloway had a reply from Gonzola however he cannot confirm that it was actually Gonzola's reply. Remember that internet and mass media are tools of the West to spread disinformation.
So gladly to know the Worlds finally saw the Truths in favor's of 🇨🇳, 🇷🇺 and those like mindsets 4 🕊 & Prosperity..👍 Benjamin Norton's comments and 😍 the host of The HUB..🌹😁🌻😉💐..
ABSOLUTELY!! US MAIN STREAM MEDIA LIE ALWAYS. THEY MUST SUPPORT THE USA OR ELSE! IF THEY SAY SOMETHING I KNOW IT IS WRONG!! THEREFORE, I HAVE QUIT THEM FOREVER. I DO NOT BUY ANYTHING ADVERTISED ON THEIR CHANNELS , EVER. THANK GOODNESS FOR NEWS FROM YOU ALL. 😊
CGTN have broadcast stories that have been manufactured by the Chinese government. It is not independent, it is not subject to fines or risk of loosing its broadcast licence for broadcasting false information. It is no better than the worst.
Is it? How is their reporting about events and politics inside china? I mean as citizens we want to know what our own government is doing first of all, and we want to be well informed about policy decisions that affect our lives directly.
@@sabinereynaudsf Their report might be quite different from what you expect, which doesn't mean they are not objective. As a Chinese, I found their report is quite updated.
@@sabinereynaudsf Agreed. How much we know our government? Hunter Biden? Military Industrial Complex? Unlimited money to buy politicians? How much we know?
When one uses the phrase " You're either with us or against us" , not only does it sound undemocratic but frankly bullish and strongly authoritarian. No sane individual would use that if a democracy is functioning because it's definately against freedom of speech and ability to have a rational discourse! Sadly, real democracy is damaged by those US politicians who fantasizing unipolar global dominance. No sensible people wish to live in a world where there's no balance of power. A world without the balance of power leads only to chaos, increase in crime, exploitation of ordinary people by increased number of billionaire gangesters who end up assassinating one another for grabbing absolute reign of power.
Anyone who doesn't submit to the oligarchs and puppet politicians. Will be automatically perceived as the 'enemy'. The CIA is the largest and most influential terrorist organization in the world. The USA itself is a failed rogue terrorist state which is rotten to the core with corruption. I can't stand being trapped within the confines of the USA. Let alone having been labeled falsely as a boogeyman for things my parents subjected me to as a child wrongfully. The majority are too stupid to realize they are stupid I.E. Dunning Kruger syndrome. Constantly seeking never ending over stimulation in an effort to deny reality. A reality in which they've predominately checked out of. In favor of excessive hedonism and consumerism. The oligarchical elites have retreated into their forbidden cities or Versailles. The police have become corruption enforcement. The masses have always the modern equivalent of slaves or serfs. The infrastructure is crumbling in a state of extreme neglect. The system caters exclusively to the corporate oligarchy. Devoid of universal healthcare or affordable proper education. Lacking affordable housing or living to living plus wage jobs. Human lives have been completely commodified in nearly every aspect of society. Mendacious propaganda is churned out 24/7 and disseminated in various perniciously insidious forms. Constant hobgoblins and boogeymen are blamed for all the failings of the system. People render swift often completely inaccurate judgements upon one another. Infinite greed rugged individualism and toxic competition have entranced the overall populace. The age of spectacle leading to the rise of demagogues and fascist resurgence. People are railroaded into a plethora of industrial complexes for acts they've not committed. Or for no reason or fictitious fallacious often outrageous baseless allegations. The bleak reality of the dystopian hellscape a prison without walls or cells. Slaves who've grown accustom to the master's lash. The vast majority of the population consists now primarily of narcissists and sociopaths. An overwhelming majority are ignorant and proud of it they don't even care for the most part. The list goes on and on of how extensive this collapsing empire's atrocities are. Billions have died under capitalism's watch. The USA is responsible for more deaths and irreparable pain or suffering than the former British empire could ever have dream of...
"You're either with us or against us". This statement always reminds of Obi Wan's famous quote "Only a Sith deals in absolutes.” before fighting the now evil Anakin. As an article states, "But let’s think about the distinction between what Obi-Wan said and Anakin saying, “If you’re not with me, then you’re my enemy.” Now, that is an absolute; it’s a statement that slices all the complexities out of relationships and principles, leaving nothing but a binary choice. All or nothing. And only someone who respects nuance and thoughtful consideration of, well, anything would never throw down such a dangerous gauntlet."
@@nutec6034 Sure he did say it. Had that stated by China, or any other country in Africa or Middle East, it would have followed by sanctions, possibly proxy war and a range of abuses in the US media. The war on terror was a myth! It was more like colluding with terrorist & ultra nationalists in proxy wars in Middle East in an attempt to change regime or replace puppets! Sad!
About which Vlad the Terrible War Lord said, regarding any criticism of his absolutist message on Ukraine, “These traitors are like flies which have flown into our mouth. We will spit them out on the pavement”.
This interview was one of the best geopolitical classes, and I have watched a lot of specialized people in this field. God bless you and protect you; the world needs to know the truth, including the American people
ZELENSKY: Rule 97. Human Shields Rule 97. The use of human shields is prohibited. Practice Volume II, Chapter 32, Section J. Summary State practice establishes this rule as a norm of customary international law applicable in both international and non-international armed conflicts. Human shields are legally protected persons-either civilians or prisoners of war-who are either coerced or volunteer to deter attacks by occupying the space between a belligerent and a legitimate military target.[1] The use of human shields is forbidden by Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions. It is also a specific intent war crime as codified in the Rome Statute, which was adopted in 1998. ZELENSKY the demands civilians cannot be used as human shield. Azov Free The Civilian Now. Shame on the media for their silence and lack of interest on this Ukrainian-Russian civilians
Same thing happened when they tried their attempted coup in Hong Kong. Even Jackie Chan got smeared for speaking out against the violence of the so called "HK protests."
We should also talk about U.S Secret War in Laos during the Vietnam War where you mostly hear about Vietnam and Cambodia. Laos on the other hand been silent about it while now making loud noise about Lao's development for its own people and the human right to spreading American Democracy under the U.S that brought the destruction of Laos in the first place!
Sadly, American democracy is built on a war based economy and freedom TO do what they wish! In other words to run the economy they must first sell "Democracy". Ergo, it always starts by finding an excuse to preach about delivering or saving democracy to start engaging the intervention which is always plagued by freedom TO do what and how to do it. So to deliver or sustain the democracy it's acceptable to first create redlines, sanctions, chaos, fear, tension in and about the area for sometime among TARGETTED opposing fractions who will be carefully monitored to start running the shitshow and effectively puncturing and discrediting any viable solution to peace. Depending on a nature of localised issues the provocation can include youngsters, rebels, merceneries but to be more effective in most cases they also start colluding with ultra nationalist or dogmatically religious groups against the central power who also could be their own old puppet but must go now if not rolling on their commands any more. That opens the door for anything from selling arms to training the targeted groups but also including neighbouring countries in order to spread war and proxy wars . The main aim to use the weapons already sold in order to enable the continous sale of arms, and for that reason wars and proxy wars must be kept going on for years. It's astonishing to hear that the official line EVEN predicts how long for example the Ukr war is going to last. One wonders how do they know!!! Or if one leaves one war for example Afghanustan, one has already planned another one to replace it with because those running the country, I.e the war corporates/ contractors run by billionaires & their other closely linked minion corporates have majority of legislators and media editors in their pockets and demand it by making fool of the way the administration ended the war until they succeed in starting one already planned. And the real losers are always the ordinary people who die either in the war or from malnutrition or their life and future seriously impacted by a range of disastrous economic consequences of war. Unconscionable!
U.S. foreign policy can easily be summed up as imperialism & propaganda. To call it a foreign policy is just sugar coating such crimes against humanity, home & aboard.
@@YCHTT I agree in-part, it is the exporting of a mixed form of Feudal-Capitalism surreptitiously targeted using psychographic segmentation marketing using ideology called democracy to lure said audience to its web abroad for the kill.
@@constructiveeconomics6733 Not disagree with you at all. But I prefer to keep it simple so most people can understand & remember it easily. Ultimately it is really about the continuance of the colonialism, slavery & imperialism of the 17-18th century while applying propaganda techniques to control narratives of events and maintaining the world order system that took more than the last two centuries to build up.
Absolutely, my account was banned from the forum of a major Dutch news site, because I mentioned NATO expansion as reason for the Ukrainian armed war and the toppling of its regime in 2014.
Wang Guan is such a good person to ask Ben Norton the most important questions. It’s obvious he has researched current events himself; also lets Norton talk without interruption and he is not biased toward China. I’m grateful to find and subscribe this news channel.
Thank you for this reporting, CGTN! Ben Norton is a great and knowledgeable guest. Thanks for having him on your show! (Everyone subscribe to this channel!)

The US uses censureship through the private companies be it mainsteam media or on the internet, not directly by the state/government. Pretty clever actually, we need to give them that. So, I made a test to see how far does it goes. I made a comment on a video saying that the US was the main country that should not be allowed to have nuclear bombs because it was the only, up until today, that used them, not once but twice. After a couple of days my comment was deleted. I made this very same comment 3 times more in different videos (all western affiliated) and a couple of days after I checked for my comment and they were invariably deleted. Was it google or the owners of the channels? I don't know. But this kind of comment is clearly a big no no.
@@nothingbutokok6491 one guy told me have i deleted my comment that he can't find it but when I check it i could see it then I came to know that my comment was censured too ...hahaaha
@@bigtex1721 I'm confused too. I'm reading your comment on the 04.24.2022 on TH-cam without VNP. I'm portuguese, living in russia since 2013. Shouldn't all western communications from news media to social media be cut off?! Shouldn't I be running to the supermarket for food instead of confortably sitting at home watching videos? Could it be possible that both sides are demonizing the other side for no other reason except to make people hate them (the others!)? Well, maybe I already made up my mind and I'm not confused at all...

REVERSED RETHORIC. "The US Autocratic Regime stole $300 billion from Russia's sovereign reserves. Some American Oligarchs invested in Russia's sovereign bonds were forced to accept payment in Rubles. Will the US Regime Autocrats come to an agreement with the American Oligarchs, or will there be Regime Change?"
A big thank CGTN. we were in thirst of reading unbiased media specially on Ukraine war. It is a pity to mention that mainstream media (almost all) try to create an upside down picture of the Ukrainian war. We have very few TV channels that give us unbiased news reports. You are one of them.
great channel, thank you for speaking the truth and exposing lies we are being fed on a daily basis. what I respect the most about China is that they show to the whole world that in the right hands communism can thrive.
If I had my social media platform I could fix it for good but so happy to see this happening. Everyone should share these videos to help them East fight thru the media monopoly.
Ben norton is so clear and precise in his explanations and very comprehensive in his knowledge of geopolitics. Hope he goes very far in his future career. We need gifted dependable people like him to make sense of this crazy world today.
I'm so glad that more & more discussions about such topics that I have discovered over 15 years ago ( and yes Norton was also right, it just got worse & worse & more obvious today). People around the world needs to know how they were taught since day one to believe in the imperialist narratives on so many things that covers with so many different topics. Thank you for a few remaining media like CGTN & journalists like Norton. We thank you! "... For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed..." - THE PRESIDENT AND THE PRESS: ADDRESS BEFORE THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION, APRIL 27, 1961 www.jfklibrary.org/archives/other-resources/john-f-kennedy-speeches/american-newspaper-publishers-association-19610427

I have been following Ben and I found that my whole outlook of the world has truly & thoroughly been educated by this young man whose concern about the welfare of the world and humanity as a whole is truly remarkable. I hoping that more people will come across all his educational videos!
One can tell from all his videos how much work he has put in to produce each and every one of them. He deserved our help in spreading his videos as well as the public deserves to know what is going around us in this 'dark-age' era.
This Benjamin Norton has a great Potential to become one of the greatest Journalist in the world because of his true objective Analyses of Facts . He has a clear knowledge of what he is saying and a very Sympathetic Rhetoric Tone. Great Video of the Discussion. Schapo 👍👏👏👏🥰
Thank you Benjamin Norton for the analysis and thank you Wang Guan and CGTN for the platform.
God Bless Mr. Benjamin Norton 👍🙏
Ben Norton is a legend …… amazing clarity of thoughts based on facts
Benjamin Norton is clear ‐ headed and clean ‐ hearted . He is a necessity for the whole world .
Thank you for sharing this gem of a reporter. As a Latin American, I appreciate his work as well as Tele Sur. It's difficult to find good center-left, honest journalism. Gracia, again to Ben and CTGN/HUB.
Wang Guan does an excellent job with interview questions showing he has done his homework. Ben Norton is one of the handful of US independent journalists who have complete credibility and integrity.
Excellent journalism. Thank you for hosting Benjamin. We must share ths
Benjamin Norton's thorough knowledge of geopolitics and its moving parts in today's world is just amazing. This has been a most enlightening interview.
Please keep up the great work. We are relying on good journalism and thank you.
Let China voice speak out. Full support to CGTN!
Thank you Ben for your insight. You are obviously knowledgeable and intelligent. I really enjoy listening to you talk and agree with your assessments on all the matters you talked about. Keep it up, dude. We need more like you.
Excellent interview with Ben Norton!!!
Ben is back on cgtn. Outstanding.

CGTN, you have just invited a wonderful guest Mr Ben Norton. Thank you.
Please don't forget to invite Max Blumental, The Grayzone.
And of course not forgetting Vijay Prashad.
Why did those two have a falling out?
@@AZ-rg3rf Didn't think that Max and Ben had a fall out. They are both in different countries reporting different things. Max is residing in the US and Ben is in Nicaragua. His specialised in Spanish.
Where did you get the info?
@@strongchallenger2269 I hope so then. I saw others talk about them falling out and how much of a shame it is.
@@AZ-rg3rf There are lots of rumours over the internet. Example there are rumours that Gonzola Lira had conversation with Scott Ritter and he confirmed that he did not. George Galloway had a reply from Gonzola however he cannot confirm that it was actually Gonzola's reply. Remember that internet and mass media are tools of the West to spread disinformation.
Don’t forget Richard Medhurst!!
Ben i really hope you taking care . you are a breath of fresh air
So gladly to know the Worlds finally saw the Truths in favor's of 🇨🇳, 🇷🇺 and those like mindsets 4 🕊 & Prosperity..👍 Benjamin Norton's comments and 😍 the host of The HUB..🌹😁🌻😉💐..
"The world...," Such world is still a very tiny minority sadly.
Jia you Wang Guan. Welcome Ben Norton, a creditable journalist from The Grayzone.
I believe CGTN is much more objective and fact based reporting than CNN, WP, NYT, BBC etc.
ABSOLUTELY!! US MAIN STREAM MEDIA LIE ALWAYS. THEY MUST SUPPORT THE USA OR ELSE! IF THEY SAY SOMETHING I KNOW IT IS WRONG!! THEREFORE, I HAVE QUIT THEM FOREVER. I DO NOT BUY ANYTHING ADVERTISED ON THEIR CHANNELS , EVER.
THANK GOODNESS FOR NEWS FROM YOU ALL. 😊
CGTN have broadcast stories that have been manufactured by the Chinese government. It is not independent, it is not subject to fines or risk of loosing its broadcast licence for broadcasting false information. It is no better than the worst.
Is it? How is their reporting about events and politics inside china? I mean as citizens we want to know what our own government is doing first of all, and we want to be well informed about policy decisions that affect our lives directly.
@@sabinereynaudsf Their report might be quite different from what you expect, which doesn't mean they are not objective. As a Chinese, I found their report is quite updated.
@@sabinereynaudsf Agreed. How much we know our government? Hunter Biden? Military Industrial Complex? Unlimited money to buy politicians? How much we know?
I really appreciate Ben's work. Thanks for this interview.
We need independent media like Ben. 👍
Great interview to a bright bold journalist everyone commited with truth should follow.
When one uses the phrase " You're either with us or against us" , not only does it sound undemocratic but frankly bullish and strongly authoritarian. No sane individual would use that if a democracy is functioning because it's definately against freedom of speech and ability to have a rational discourse! Sadly, real democracy is damaged by those US politicians who fantasizing unipolar global dominance. No sensible people wish to live in a world where there's no balance of power. A world without the balance of power leads only to chaos, increase in crime, exploitation of ordinary people by increased number of billionaire gangesters who end up assassinating one another for grabbing absolute reign of power.
That’s how the Mafia operates, selling you the “protection”. Mafia is running the West/NATO.
Anyone who doesn't submit to the oligarchs and puppet politicians. Will be automatically perceived as the 'enemy'. The CIA is the largest and most influential terrorist organization in the world. The USA itself is a failed rogue terrorist state which is rotten to the core with corruption. I can't stand being trapped within the confines of the USA. Let alone having been labeled falsely as a boogeyman for things my parents subjected me to as a child wrongfully.
The majority are too stupid to realize they are stupid I.E. Dunning Kruger syndrome. Constantly seeking never ending over stimulation in an effort to deny reality. A reality in which they've predominately checked out of. In favor of excessive hedonism and consumerism. The oligarchical elites have retreated into their forbidden cities or Versailles. The police have become corruption enforcement. The masses have always the modern equivalent of slaves or serfs.
The infrastructure is crumbling in a state of extreme neglect. The system caters exclusively to the corporate oligarchy. Devoid of universal healthcare or affordable proper education. Lacking affordable housing or living to living plus wage jobs. Human lives have been completely commodified in nearly every aspect of society. Mendacious propaganda is churned out 24/7 and disseminated in various perniciously insidious forms. Constant hobgoblins and boogeymen are blamed for all the failings of the system. People render swift often completely inaccurate judgements upon one another.
Infinite greed rugged individualism and toxic competition have entranced the overall populace. The age of spectacle leading to the rise of demagogues and fascist resurgence. People are railroaded into a plethora of industrial complexes for acts they've not committed. Or for no reason or fictitious fallacious often outrageous baseless allegations. The bleak reality of the dystopian hellscape a prison without walls or cells.
Slaves who've grown accustom to the master's lash. The vast majority of the population consists now primarily of narcissists and sociopaths. An overwhelming majority are ignorant and proud of it they don't even care for the most part. The list goes on and on of how extensive this collapsing empire's atrocities are. Billions have died under capitalism's watch. The USA is responsible for more deaths and irreparable pain or suffering than the former British empire could ever have dream of...
"You're either with us or against us". This statement always reminds of Obi Wan's famous quote "Only a Sith deals in absolutes.” before fighting the now evil Anakin.
As an article states, "But let’s think about the distinction between what Obi-Wan said and Anakin saying, “If you’re not with me, then you’re my enemy.” Now, that is an absolute; it’s a statement that slices all the complexities out of relationships and principles, leaving nothing but a binary choice. All or nothing. And only someone who respects nuance and thoughtful consideration of, well, anything would never throw down such a dangerous gauntlet."
@@nutec6034 Sure he did say it. Had that stated by China, or any other country in Africa or Middle East, it would have followed by sanctions, possibly proxy war and a range of abuses in the US media. The war on terror was a myth! It was more like colluding with terrorist & ultra nationalists in proxy wars in Middle East in an attempt to change regime or replace puppets! Sad!
About which Vlad the Terrible War Lord said, regarding any criticism of his absolutist message on Ukraine, “These traitors are like flies which have flown into our mouth. We will spit them out on the pavement”.
Thank you Ben the true and honest person
Very informative discussion.
Wang Guan love your work, very funny man , great guests and great interview as always.
Pls have him on again, fantastic guest :)
Excellent guest. I applaud you for interviewing people of the calibre of Norton. Would be wonderful to see Alfredo Jalife on your show!
This interview was one of the best geopolitical classes, and I have watched a lot of specialized people in this field. God bless you and protect you; the world needs to know the truth, including the American people
Truth about geopolitics has been brilliantly presented by Mr. Norton
ZELENSKY:
Rule 97. Human Shields
Rule 97. The use of human shields is prohibited.
Practice
Volume II, Chapter 32, Section J.
Summary
State practice establishes this rule as a norm of customary international law applicable in both international and non-international armed conflicts.
Human shields are legally protected persons-either civilians or prisoners of war-who are either coerced or volunteer to deter attacks by occupying the space between a belligerent and a legitimate military target.[1] The use of human shields is forbidden by Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions. It is also a specific intent war crime as codified in the Rome Statute, which was adopted in 1998.
ZELENSKY the demands civilians cannot be used as human shield. Azov Free The Civilian Now.
Shame on the media for their silence and lack of interest on this Ukrainian-Russian civilians
Great interview. I gave up on the western media long ago. The arrogant bias is unbelievable.
#FreeJulianAssange
Free those Journalists whos reports the truth story in Ukraine.
Same thing happened when they tried their attempted coup in Hong Kong. Even Jackie Chan got smeared for speaking out against the violence of the so called "HK protests."
We should also talk about U.S Secret War in Laos during the Vietnam War where you mostly hear about Vietnam and Cambodia. Laos on the other hand been silent about it while now making loud noise about Lao's development for its own people and the human right to spreading American Democracy under the U.S that brought the destruction of Laos in the first place!
Have a look what is underground in Laos and Afghanistan then you will know why the West is there.
Sadly, American democracy is built on a war based economy and freedom TO do what they wish! In other words to run the economy they must first sell "Democracy". Ergo, it always starts by finding an excuse to preach about delivering or saving democracy to start engaging the intervention which is always plagued by freedom TO do what and how to do it. So to deliver or sustain the democracy it's acceptable to first create redlines, sanctions, chaos, fear, tension in and about the area for sometime among TARGETTED opposing fractions who will be carefully monitored to start running the shitshow and effectively puncturing and discrediting any viable solution to peace.
Depending on a nature of localised issues the provocation can include youngsters, rebels, merceneries but to be more effective in most cases they also start colluding with ultra nationalist or dogmatically religious groups against the central power who also could be their own old puppet but must go now if not rolling on their commands any more. That opens the door for anything from selling arms to training the targeted groups but also including neighbouring countries in order to spread war and proxy wars . The main aim to use the weapons already sold in order to enable the continous sale of arms, and for that reason wars and proxy wars must be kept going on for years. It's astonishing to hear that the official line EVEN predicts how long for example the Ukr war is going to last. One wonders how do they know!!! Or if one leaves one war for example Afghanustan, one has already planned another one to replace it with because those running the country, I.e the war corporates/ contractors run by billionaires & their other closely linked minion corporates have majority of legislators and media editors in their pockets and demand it by making fool of the way the administration ended the war until they succeed in starting one already planned. And the real losers are always the ordinary people who die either in the war or from malnutrition or their life and future seriously impacted by a range of disastrous economic consequences of war. Unconscionable!
Do you know the history of Laos? You make no mention of the French colonialists.
@@cosac6 what is it?
Ben is doing good to balance the Empire vs the rest of us.
Ben norton is one of the best, thaks for having him !!! great work
We need more Benjamin Norton
He is a traitor to freedom
David Lillecrapp LOL! Your comment makes no sense!
Ben is for Freedom! Freedom of every Sovereign nations from the US Bully and regime change.
Well rounded discussion. Thanks gentlemen.
Thank you so much for the balanced reporting!
Excellent analysis of the U.S. foreign policy.
U.S. foreign policy can easily be summed up as imperialism & propaganda. To call it a foreign policy is just sugar coating such crimes against humanity, home & aboard.
@@YCHTT I agree in-part, it is the exporting of a mixed form of Feudal-Capitalism surreptitiously targeted using psychographic segmentation marketing using ideology called democracy to lure said audience to its web abroad for the kill.
@@constructiveeconomics6733 Not disagree with you at all. But I prefer to keep it simple so most people can understand & remember it easily. Ultimately it is really about the continuance of the colonialism, slavery & imperialism of the 17-18th century while applying propaganda techniques to control narratives of events and maintaining the world order system that took more than the last two centuries to build up.
@@YCHTT Sounds about right.
Absolutely, my account was banned from the forum of a major Dutch news site, because I mentioned NATO expansion as reason for the Ukrainian armed war and the toppling of its regime in 2014.
Very True...This guy is Definitely right...
Great Conversation.
Wang Guan is such a good person to ask Ben Norton the most important questions. It’s obvious he has researched current events himself; also lets Norton talk without interruption and he is not biased toward China. I’m grateful to find and subscribe this news channel.
Excellent reporting
Interesting interviews thank you
Thank you for this reporting, CGTN! Ben Norton is a great and knowledgeable guest. Thanks for having him on your show! (Everyone subscribe to this channel!)
INSIGHTFUL & EXCELLENT ... THEREFORE DEEP RESPECT for both Interviewer and Interviewee. Thank you for this upload CGTN.
Great show.thanks for having Ben on as he's pretty switched on.
.
Ben is an outstanding journalist: knowledgeable because of real investigative, hardwork, both scrutinizing the media and what’s happening on the spot. Backbone being: integrity. Respect ✊
The US uses censureship through the private companies be it mainsteam media or on the internet, not directly by the state/government. Pretty clever actually, we need to give them that. So, I made a test to see how far does it goes. I made a comment on a video saying that the US was the main country that should not be allowed to have nuclear bombs because it was the only, up until today, that used them, not once but twice. After a couple of days my comment was deleted. I made this very same comment 3 times more in different videos (all western affiliated) and a couple of days after I checked for my comment and they were invariably deleted. Was it google or the owners of the channels? I don't know. But this kind of comment is clearly a big no no.
@@nothingbutokok6491 one guy told me have i deleted my comment that he can't find it but when I check it i could see it then I came to know that my comment was censured too ...hahaaha
It's getting more and more creepy...
@@bigtex1721 I'm confused too. I'm reading your comment on the 04.24.2022 on TH-cam without VNP. I'm portuguese, living in russia since 2013. Shouldn't all western communications from news media to social media be cut off?! Shouldn't I be running to the supermarket for food instead of confortably sitting at home watching videos? Could it be possible that both sides are demonizing the other side for no other reason except to make people hate them (the others!)? Well, maybe I already made up my mind and I'm not confused at all...
@@bigtex1721 You need to read my comment again... Go on, you'll find the answers by youself...
@@bigtex1721 It is exactly people like you that are the problem. Your unwillingless to understand what I wrote is dishonest or it says a lot about your intelectual capacities in case you really can not understand.
Exactly, I am listening to you, from Africa. Good platform, I support.
REVERSED RETHORIC. "The US Autocratic Regime stole $300 billion from Russia's sovereign reserves. Some American Oligarchs invested in Russia's sovereign bonds were forced to accept payment in Rubles. Will the US Regime Autocrats come to an agreement with the American Oligarchs, or will there be Regime Change?"
We need sane conversation Thanks! Ben, Thankyou! CGTN.
A big thank CGTN. we were in thirst of reading unbiased media specially on Ukraine war. It is a pity to mention that mainstream media (almost all) try to create an upside down picture of the Ukrainian war. We have very few TV channels that give us unbiased news reports. You are one of them.
Absolutely truth and unbiased conversations.Thanks video.
Very informative sir Ben Norton, hope for more interviews/explanations from you.
MANY THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU!! BRILLIANT AND HONEST ANALYSIS!
great channel, thank you for speaking the truth and exposing lies we are being fed on a daily basis.
what I respect the most about China is that they show to the whole world that in the right hands communism can thrive.
I like Wang Guan of The Hub. He knows what is he saying!! Bravo!!
Hello! I am a new subscriber. So glad I found you! I've seen a couple of your shows and this was a fantastic episode. Thank you!
God bless all truth teller's and journalists. Free Assange. 💛
If I had my social media platform I could fix it for good but so happy to see this happening. Everyone should share these videos to help them East fight thru the media monopoly.
They always flag such things as nonsense and either take it down or ban you for a while.
What a refreshing change of perspective to listen to this journalists.
thanks great show...
Ben norton is so clear and precise in his explanations and very comprehensive in his knowledge of geopolitics. Hope he goes very far in his future career. We need gifted dependable people like him to make sense of this crazy world today.
Brilliant interview!
Love to see ben norton ❤️
Absolutely right god bless you.❤✌😭
Ben, you are a unique voice, please stay safe. Humanity, boldness and integrity.
I'm so glad that more & more discussions about such topics that I have discovered over 15 years ago ( and yes Norton was also right, it just got worse & worse & more obvious today). People around the world needs to know how they were taught since day one to believe in the imperialist narratives on so many things that covers with so many different topics. Thank you for a few remaining media like CGTN & journalists like Norton. We thank you!
"... For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.
Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed..."
