Is it the rules-based international system, Fareed, in which the US invaded Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan leaving devastation and hundreds of thousands killed? Or is it the rules-based world order which empowered US bombard Serbia with depleted uranium ammo???! Your hypocrisy is disgusting.

You should also mention US destruction of Iraq, Libya, Syria. Regime change in Pakistan and a number of other countries. There should be a limit to hypocracy.
not on this channel, everyone who listens to CNN suffers from memory loss. When he said "Does any other country even come close" - that was super funny. No country on earth will ever come close to what US did around the world.
@@Faceless166 you have to give him some slack. His illness is not memory loss. I think he is perfectly aware that US a country that has committed the most of the atrocities in our modern world. He and many of his MSM cohorts just choose to ignore those facts.
@@biggles106 when people mention “whataboutism” do they mean that laws are not for everyone? Quod licet Jovi, non licet bovi - that’s basically what you’re saying, though we don’t live in ancient times anymore.
Invading without U.N. approval is a violation of international law and can be prosecuted in the ICC as a criminal offense by another country. The only times the U.S. have illegally invaded nations since international law was established was Iraq and Afghanistan because those did not have U.N. approval. Russia’s invasions of Georgia and Ukraine are illegal as well for the same reason.
@@garrettfulks2932 International law only apply to those weak countries Think about honesty how many time has USA been accused of war crimes and none of them is ever arrested Russia is gone be the same
@@garrettfulks2932 ''The only times the U.S. have illegally invaded nations since international law was established was Iraq and Afghanistan because those did not have U.N. approval'' So the ''international community'' put same sanctions as Russia?
Fareed, I have followed you for decades. You support the deaths of millions of people at the hands of the USA. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A WAR YOU DIDNT LIKE. I hope that you leave the USA, you are taken in custody, and you are tried as a war criminal, who supports the death of millions. You are your degenerate ilk need to be held accountable. Your millionaire lifestyle is paid for by the deaths of millions of minorities. Look up Naom Chomsky's article, if the Nuremberg trials were applied every war time president would be hung.
You are absolutely correct! There are many who share your sentiment but are afraid to say so. But the truth will always be revealed to the light of day. This a reality of life.
'Two wrongs do not make a right' my friend. Nor is it justification for what has occurred. Worse, the only reason Russia has taken these actions is based on pure lies spread by a dying 'elected' (ha!) dictator! Who on this planet believes the ridiculous claim of "defeating Ukrainian NAZI's"!!!! Putin is responsible for more suffering, death and destruction of lives and property in this time, than ANY other modern leader from any other country (including the hypocritical Americans!) Putin is a dangerous, megalomaniac; a common thief who has stolen the wealth, and thereby the future of his people, the Russians. He is 'evil' HUMAN (who happens to be Russian) intent on death and destruction. No blame should be leveled at the Russian people, who are similarly his victims, whether they can see it or not!
US does follow the rule based order. . .with the exception of Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iran and many coups it did in South America and the Middle East and so on and so forth.
As always, two wrongs do not make a right. There is zero justification for any Ukraine invasion whatsoever, and the displacement of millions of civilians and killing of tens if not hundreds of thousands by war's end will go down as one of the great evils in history.
it seems to me that the law of the strongest is the principle that rules the world. The Americans have nevertheless accustomed us to the fact that the laws change according to their interests whether the rest of the world likes it or not.
The US is the Centre State of the West. Look at the West’s cover on the globe. The US, UK and Australia. NATO and AUKUS. The five most traded currencies in the World are the USD, Euro, Yen, GBP and AUD. China trades ninth at 4%. Europe at during the early decades of the twentieth century, shares little resemblance to the West, one hundred plus years later. Russia’s only strength is its nuclear weapons. The West’s mistake was the scale to which it moved its manufacturing and technologies to China. China never was going to be an up-sized Germany or Japan.
You need to do an interview with Scot Ritter Fareed and stop just sounding intelligent and knowledgeable. Especially when it comes to Russian matters without being bias os just sharing narrative.
Nono he s absolutely right about everything I think usa china and russia agreed on this conflict this is not a war we cannot fight anymore remember we cant we have atomics. Wake up this is a joke No narratives and propaganda this is world leaders and they cannot be divided or this world ends Wake up
What a beautiful propaganda piece. We all love the US's Rules based system which had done so much for the world. You lost respect a long time ago Fareed.
How many Countries have Russia invaded ... ? Since 1776 America spends 225 years at War (of 246 years or 94%) and only 21 years in Peace (6%). 57%-60% (US$ 718-800 Billion) of Budget is spent on Military during PEACE Time.

@Rui Gaspar The purpose of Weapon is kill - This is different from having a good time with Families and Friends, enjoying the fruits o Earth; such as the Mountains, Valleys, Animals and People we Co-exist
Because when you ignore problems that threaten others, those problems will eventually attack you, only you will be alone by then. An ounce of prevention = a pound of a cure (see WW2).
Just like XinJiang? There are those who know and whose who do not know ... Like why Ukraine was attacked ... There must be reasons but many choose to ignore it since 2014. Or like shooters gunning down innocent People in America. We jump to conclusion and take sides in the end more than 1 million American fell for CoVid-19. But we do know why the Marshall Islands were targeted as test-bed for Nuclear WMD - which affected many lives who depended on fishes for meals on table. We also know that many were affected by Agent Orange back in 1973 and the countless of People who dies or amputated due to millions of Landmines, which make land not arable. There must be reasons like you said but we are not God who can judge but instead we are Human Beings and sometimes can make errors, especially when we are One-Sided.
And to think that I once thought that Fareed Zakaria's takes were objective, sensible commentary that slightly irked the political establishment by going against the grain. Boy was I wrong. This assessment speaks to me loud and clear about who's running the show. Zakaria is not only a stooge for the political/oligarchical interests that run the U.S; but worse as he advocates for the reckless persecution of Russia and the irresponsible militarized spending without accountability that the U.S has granted Ukraine in the tune of tens of billions of dollars.
Journalists that are not factual are a danger to America. Trump was harassed for4 years. At the end it became difficult to ascertain whether he was a president or a clergyman.
He's just part of shameless CNN FAKE NEWS ! Just like rest of MSM. Fareed doesn't want to know that most of us, all see through the narrative & it's mirroring.
Kiev calls for evacuation corridor of Azot plant after blowing up all bridges. Evacuation is impossible as the Ukrainian military blew up all the bridges across the river to the other bank.
The rules-based international order is based on Western moral values such as equality of men and women, religious freedom, freedom of speech, and constitutional democracy.
I always thought that democracy is the power of the people, but Comrade Roosevelt clearly explained to me that democracy is the power of the American people. (c) Stalin
Speaking about America defending democracy can anyone enlightened me about what happened to the democratically elected president of Ukraine and how did zalenski became President. What year was the election that he won.
When do America ever follow the "international based order"?🤭In the past 20 years, Russia has invaded 1 or 2 countries but US has invaded 5 or 6 countries... I don't think the math is too hard lol.
The West had the opportunity to set up a proper rules-based international system at the end of the Cold War. The West wanted to tackle more complex problems than what could be done according to the rules like e.g. the allegations about Saddam's WMD and later the Iranian nuclear program. But what the West ended up doing amounted to bending the rules of the existing system, twisting the arms of Russia and China to get along and support UNSC resolutions under Chapter 7 when it was not appropriate to invoke Chapter 7. It would have been far better to have set up a new arbitration system where neutral international law judges would hear cases that would be referred to it by the UNSC instead of the the US and Britain ended up being an involved party, police officer, prosecutor, and judge at the same time in a case like the Iraqi WMD issue. But far from setting up such a system, even the existing system was ultimately not good enough. The cat and mouse games involving inspections of Saddam's presidential palaces in the 1990s were bad enough, but in 2003 the US and Britain could not accept findings of the UN weapon inspectors who were doing their jobs under the rules that the US and Britain themselves had proposed after some arm twisting to get Russia and China to agree. The Iran nuclear case is a similar story. Ideally such an issue is handled best by an independent court where evidence provided by the US, Israel etc. can be examined. Short of that we have the IAEA, but the US argument back in 2002 was that Iran was skirting the rules and formally staying inside the rules but still working toward a nuclear weapons capability. The US used a procedural trick to get the IAEA to refer Iran to the UNSC. Once the dossier was at the UNSC, the US exerted pressure on Russia and China to get along with UNSC resolutions banning Iran to enrich uranium. This led to an escalation of the dispute with Iran, a decade later a deal was agreed to, the JCPOA, that was along the lines that Iran itself had proposed at the start of the dispute in 2002. But in 2002 when the EU and Iran were seeing eye to eye on such a solution, the US blocked it, saying that Iran can never be allowed to enrich any uranium. These and other issues the West has pursued, ended up creating a precedent for strong countries being the police officer, prosecutor, jury, and judge in conflicts they themselves are involved in. Either all countries have the right to act on their own judgments and then e.g. declare that a president of another sovereign country has to leave office on their say-so, or no country has the right to make such decision themselves. The West chose the former (thinking that de-facto all = only the West) and is now paying the price for that.
Grow up, the Iran dispute is about the US agent, The Shah, being kicked out by the people. No different from Batista in Cuba or Venezuela kicking Shell/Exon et al out of their oil fields. Capitalist states wage war to expand their empire -- simple as....
The United States has destroyed itself. We don't back our money with gold or anything else. We back it with the full faith an credit of the United States of America. We've completely destroyed that over the past 30 years. Our word is absolutely worthless. Countries are quietly sneaking out of our orbit, trying their best not to attract attention to themselves because they know it's only a matter of time before they're served up on the menu.
@@Boriqua76 The West is not at fault when it condemns Russia for invading Ukraine. One may, for argument's sake, assume that the West was not wrong to pursue a case against Iraq about its suspected WMD programs in 2002. The issue is then simply one of being an involved party in a dispute, prosecutor and judge at the same time. It's not a matter of being right or wrong in that dispute. If one ends up in such a role for noble reasons, then that ends up setting a precedent. Other actors can later end up doing an intervention based on their own judgment, and it's then inevitable that there will be cases where some party intervenes somewhere for deeply flawed reasons.
"whose rules?" The usual ...treaties, conventions, multilateral agreements, Interpol, the UN, the Workd Bank, the IMF, the Inter-American Development Bank, SWIFT (banking clearinghouse), and dozens more. The existing body of international law is huge, so there is no shortage of answers to the grotesquely unsophisticated question: "whose rules?" Would you prefer to live under Putin's Rules? The rules of communist China? Or you think you are a free man that can live by his own rules? Put your seat belt on, don't fish without a license, dont smoke in bars, and pay your taxes. The world is chock full of rules. Simple solutions to complicated questions was the formula for success for Benito and Adolph. Dont get played by the modern fascist parallels.
It is really great that finally US president had agreed that a big price is needed to be paid by the aggressor. a big step forward to humanity. great news to Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and others. they can start to forward their claim for their war torn damages and civilian loss of lives compensations to their aggressors. funds claimed can be used to rebuild the country and economic and also support for the families of victims.
@festina lente I'm a Ukrainian, only that I grew up in the Las Vegas, right now I'm in Kherson but all English news channels are telling lies about Ukraine. Our soldiers are dying, Zelenskyy is just a corrupt comedian. There's no winning a war against Russia. All the so-called mercenaries from US marine and NATO are hiding in Kyiv. Putin is not the problem here, it's Zelenskyy who keeps pretending instead of peace talks. Bringing NATO to Russia border was just common sense that it would cause problems.
@festina lente our comedian Zelenskyy keeps pretending as if he's blind, Ukrainian are dying here like chicken, almost every road and trench you pass you'll get 10-20 dead
@festina lente Putin warned UK, they're now very quiet. And from Putin's recent remarks, incase any war breaks up between China and Taiwan, Putin may nuke the US. North Korea is also praying for the opportunity
Serbia killed a royal, the war was legitimate. the problem was that Russia did not convince Serbia to accept an investigation asked by Austria to find and punish the guilty.
@@roc7880 To be fair, it wouldn't have worked. Nearly everyone in position of power in Serbia was implicated to some degree. Serbia's president was at least aware of the plot and even clumsily tried to warn Austro-Hungarians. The man responsible for planning the assasination was Serbian army's chief of staff IIRC. Assasins got their training in Serbia and explosives from Serbian army's armory. There was no way any investigation could take place in Serbia that could truly find out the guilty.
Yugoslavia was by all means a bloody and bitter affair but hardly a major land war where one country invades another in order to seize it's lands and subjugate the population. That we haven't seen in Europe since 1945 and it does make a world of difference when it comes to the long term consequences for world order.
"Weak and marginalized" would not be achieved, because Russia is not just a nuclear power but also an economic power. It is a gaint with each leg on different continent one in Europe and the other in Asia. Russian is not going to decline instead it would be the awakening of a gaint in slumber
Biden's administration will never learn. Blinken tried to insult China at Alaska and China heap insults back at him. Blinken will never forget this humiliation.
And united states is innocent 🤔 you must have been living under a rock. United States has killed more people through wars, genocides, foreign leaders assassinations than all the countries in the world combined. Now tell me who is responsible for global destabilization
NATO and the EU don’t want Ukraine to join them. President Putin is in the process of achieving exactly what he didn’t want, being upfront and personal with NATO.
What exactly is the rule based order in the eyes of Washington? On the one hand, US claims to defend Ukraine sovereignty, otoh, US is backing separatists in Taiwan, Xinjiang and Tibet. It appears to me that the so called "rule based order" is just for the convenience of the US in certain situation.
Agreed, if Russia fails - China will not start SE Asia campaign if USA will not help Ukraine it will sign to China that everything goes. So help Ukraine with weapons, inteligence and it is win-win situation to World Peace.
As an American who came from Cuba and endured communism for over 25 years, I tell you defend the First and the Second Ammendment even if it cost you your life because living as a sheep, a slave of communism is worse than death. God bless and save America

Henry Kissinger suggested that Ukraine should give up part of its territory. Luckily ukranian president told Mr. Kissinger to pound send. Because that's exactly what happened before WWII when Nazis took first parts of Czechoslovakia and then took over the whole country.
mchertonok is clueless as to what the war in Ukraine is all about, and why Russia invaded. A literally clueless comment comparing it to Germany’s imperialist tendencies in WWII. He probably doesn’t have a clue about the origins either, how the US installed their own pro-west puppet post-Maidan (reference Victoria Nuland’s call with the Ukrainian embassador), how Ukraine has refused to follow the Minsk agreements, how the fascists have been bombarding the Donbas since 2014, and how the US envoy to Ukraine stated that this will not end in a stalemate, it will be a war to the finish, until the almost defeated Ukrainians are destroyed. This is what you get for watching establishment media exclusively at the expense of the truth.
You're 100 right. Now, can you please go to Paris and Berlin and explain this to Macron and Scholz and tell them to stop looking for off ramps for their buddy?
This is why peace will always continue to be elusive. There will always be men hungry for power and dominance. And there will always be people who will die for that hunger.
Thought the same thing. Western mentality has always and forever seen Russia as the nothing but evil nation. All actions are condemned no matter how ideological it is.
@@nbell5050 exactly! I support Russia, if this war didn't happen UNFORTUNATELY World War III would have become much more likely. The EU and US should have simply said Ukraine will never join NATO and life would be normal right now for all.
I respect Fareed’s take on certain issues, people make mistakes its good that we admit to it. However, one’s take is one’s assessment and point of view it doesn’t necessary mean that it is true, there is always a flip side to that coin, no one is innocent or a bystander here, there is no fire without smoke.
The West and the Middle East are very much going to take Russia to a level where it is not a problem. China will get the same treatment. Right now Ukraine is a death trap and Russia has stupidly bulled in with not a military actually but a gang. Russia never had a real military to start with. Just a bunch of bodies to throw. They are now facing an actual military. Something they have not done in a bit.
@@mustaphaosmani9127 Shut the hell up. We whipped Al-Qaeda and ISIS’s butt all over the battlefield. We whipped Bin Laden….etc. You don’t even know what you’re talking about.
Sorry to disagree, Rules based order is a rule concocted by USA, & has nothing to do with INTERNATIONAL based order according UNITED NATIONS!, not according to a specific country.
When you impede a military super power security system there is a price to pay. And the consequences of a prolong proxy war with Russia will probably result in a nuclear conflict. Which is dangerous for the whole world. Sadly, the conflict in Ukraine is purely unnecessary and is based on geopolitics to antagonize Russia. Certainly, the narrative would have been different if Russia was to perpetuate the same in Cuba or Mexico. Unfortunately, wisemen and women around the world are silent about the geopolitical crisis’ being fermented. And are being intimidated to make room for unwise and dangerous policies to flourish. Instead of encouraging peaceful settlement to the crisis in Ukraine they preferred escalation. They propagate dangerous speculative propaganda and comments. Undoubtedly, monetary consideration and self aggrandizement are more important to them than human lives. Blessed are the peace makers.
The narrator, however skillful and good he may be in his vocation/ career., his time will be up, and be subject to judgement ....! Meanwhile, 'harvest' whatever he can, in the land of the plenty... umm,,, still ok!
Nobody impeded anything, except perhaps an unjust invasion of a sovereign country. Russia was not antagonized or threatened. Your talking points are both false and foreign, straight out of the Kremlin.
All of this is a lie . The whole Ukraine crisis is to stop the import of the 40%of ammunition from Russia to the U.S. for the New World Order agenda CULLING Great RESET PERIOD. The U.S. traitors Biden administration is LITERALLY sending America's assets to use AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLES REPUBLIC. FYI with 4 TRILLION DOLLARS plus you can create a country,........let that sink in for a moment
Fuck off, there was NEVER been a war free of cost and non interference, just because invading forces have nukes. USSR supplied SAM systems to Vietnam and vice versa USA send weapons to Afghanistan, and neither used nukes in retaliation because it's obvious what will happen next. I see what you did there with Cuba, but to compare it to Ukraine is just ridiculous, US explicitly denied sending to Ukraine any long range rockets exactly for this reason, let alone nuclear armed. Ah and yes Russia is still suppling conventional weapons to Cuba, should they also stop doing it just because US has nukes?! The thing about proxy wars is, that they are perfect for grinding down invading forces till the war becomes to costly to continue, and serve as a deterrent for any other countries who think that they can just subjugate countries with force.
We had a rule based world? Maybe we had to tell USA a few decades ago so they would also know. And so funny he is talking about a declining state and didnt mentioned USA.
@@KingOfParrots The debt is way to high. The dollar is not backed by anything and that is going to be a problem since they started to let the dollar be less importand/used in the world. They made way to much enemies on the world with their absurt foraign polacies where they dont even respect their own rules. they are going to loose allys cuz of all the backstabbing they do. Dont get me wrong they are still powerfull but not as how it was. I just hope for them Europe continue to play as a puppet but sooner or later they stop doing that if USA continue to behave like they did for the last few decades.
Keep showing anything related to Kissinger and you’ll show us you could care less about all those who despise the man for what he was and did. Though I do recognize that Fareed has shown an incredible grasp of events and our world. Having shown for many years a concern and empathy on countless subjects. He’s mature and cares. His audience includes those all too familiar with Kissinger’s “legacy”..
Tactics and campaigns of the information warfare branch of the Chinese Army 4th branch (4PLA) are important for all Americans to read and know by memory. The US Army War College is a great resource online, free to the public.
It's worrying to see the fatigue in supporting ukraine. Some politicians in Europe are still living in a fantasy that Russia will stop after donbas or even the whole of Ukraine
@raj That's why NATO (or at least the USA and UK) ned to go in, boots on the ground & fighter jets closing the skies to kick Russia out of Ukraine NOW. Before more fatigue sets in. Before more people are murdered by Putin.
everything depends on the behavior of the West, the more aggressively Ukraine is pumped with weapons, the further Russia is ready to go. Russia did not claim the territory of Ukraine, it was enough to fulfill the Minsk agreements and the Donbass would remain part of Ukraine.
@@nebonaladoni2678 we know u just a Russian/ Chinese troll bot. But nevertheless ya we are not stupid to think Russian aggression and barbaric behaviour is limited to what they say in the media. We know what is next after Ukraine and Donbas. So just keep your stupid Soviet era propaganda within your uneducated family
@@michaelgl8516 I think Russia may take that as an attack on the Russian state which triggers their nuclear policy. I really am not an expert but nato could explore securing Ukrainian territories along the west down to the Central areas since Russia promises it is only interested in donbas and south. Also they could possibly send a coalition to the black sea. But I know right wing nationalist politicians will make a lot of noise about this suggesting their countries are starting a war with Russia. Just a tragic mess 😢
@@nebonaladoni2678 The more the West sends in the weapons that Ukraine needs the more that Russia bleeds weakening it and the closer Putin is to being ousted. As for Putin's goals in Ukraine it is ultimately to conquer it and forcibly incorporate it into Russia.
It's funny that Fareed mentioned about world war one, and compare Russian vs Ukraine as Austria-Hungary vs Serbia, so from that sense, Maidan revolution (or coup since it's same as January 6 event in Capital Hill) is same kind of event as Archduke Ferdinand Assassination. The case study about world war one indicate he is totally wrong.
Correct and incorrect analysis. Russia has been the glove but China is the fist for Russia would not be able to be as aggressive without the quiet waiting of China on its side as its moves are more subtlety strategic and longer term. They are a tandem interlinked pair with China being the money backstop to Russia's aggression.
Mr. Austin from USA said: "We want to weaken Russia! " And what happened after that? Russia is humiliating NATO already, winning economicaly and militarily as well- crushing western guns every day. West is suffering from sanctions which are harming the west itself. Rubl is stronger now, dollar weaker. NATO is not credible anymore and USA´s hegemony is over. Or anybody could believe that USA would retaliate , if Russia would send a NUKE against Poland for instance to stop arms deliveries? Would USA risk for the sake of Poland , that Russia would turn USA´s big cities into radioactice glass within two hours? After this war it becoming clear, NATO is only good for promoting USA´s interests in Europe, not for real war....It is all done, Russia under sanctions, Ukraine on steroids from USA and Europe.. and it is already clear what is going to happen... What USA should have given to Ukraine was just one signature, prior this war- assuring Russia , that NATO(understand USA) would never expand in to Ukraine... That would be the easy and cheapest way to keep Russians home. USA´s greed did not let this to happen(even Putin was asking for it last year several times) Russia under sanctions and during the war was capable to show it´s new extraordinary capabilities making Russia unbeatable, Zircon hypersonic missile is turning USA aircraft carriers in to sitting ducks...see this video commented by USA´s expert on Zircon missiles matter: th-cam.com/video/dLbVD9M63KI/w-d-xo.html
I’ve never heard a Fareed op ed that sounded like it was actually an opinion he came up with rather than one that was placed on his desk. When all you ever do is voice the sentiments of the establishment, it’s hard to gain people’s trust.
Chairman Xi has probably read and studied his favorite General, the one who authored " The Art of War"- Sun Tzu, so no war or Taiwan takeover anytime soon, " Patience Grasshopper "- i think some Monk said that.
The rules-based order came out of the establishment of the United Nations, where Russia was a signatory. A world without the rules is a world with anarchy. Not a good prospect.
@@Ed_Downunder You don't get out much or you just don't pay attention to outside of US? US is a banana republic, and US does not abide to your so called international rule base order. Go ask any Africa nations, better yet go ask your neighbors South America what they think of US snakes.
- "I like..." Are you sure you didn't forget the word "don't" from the middle, like this: "I don't like..." - "...how Americans always..." Always? Really? - "...talk about abiding to "International Rule Based Order" but really meant US rule base order." It doesn't seem like you actually know what you are talking about. First the obvious: Fareed Zakaria isn't the USA. Secondly, the world is governed and guided by large number of international laws, norms, agreements and treaties, which together are sometimes referred to as the international rule based order. Those norms weren't dictated by the USA, nor does the USA always even like them. A large part of them were decided by the United Nations, where each member country has one vote.

Look like Kissinger dead in Vietnam for christ sakes, sand this Fareed bum is always talking appeasement and sucking up to our enemies.
Zakharia is one to talk about "last second chances"! China is a real problem, not an imaginary one like Iraq was in 2003. Maybe that is why Zakharia is blind.

The focus needs to remain on Russia, not China. The US should be wary of China and keep and eye on them but it doesn’t help anyone to be constantly poking and antagonizing China before they’ve even done anything.
I really disagree. China has already been doing something, and even though that is not an attack on a sovereign country it doesn't mean that they are not a real threat that US has to take into account and adopt their plans to. Otherwise it is most likely that thing eventually will happen, that US cannot prevent. If they can now even.
China is using loans as Trojan Horses to poorer countries. When the countries default, China will gain military bases in lieu. Might take another decade, yet China is preparing to take on the West.
@@user-yp9nz6bs9q Oh yes, the Ukraine was completely capable of accepting billions from the US to instigate a war by violating international treaties and agreements by trying to enter into a military alliance with NATO/US that would result in a US missile base on Russia's border. It was bad for the people of the Ukraine, but Zelensky became a billionaire as did many other Ukraine politicians. Did you know Zelensky bought a 48 million dollar home in Florida to flee to when the money stops pouring in?
Mr. Austin from USA said: "We want to weaken Russia! " And what happened after that? Russia is humiliating NATO already, winning economicaly and militarily as well- crushing western guns every day. West is suffering from sanctions which are harming the west itself. Rubl is stronger now, dollar weaker. NATO is not credible anymore and USA´s hegemony is over. Or anybody could believe that USA would retaliate , if Russia would send a NUKE against Poland for instance to stop arms deliveries? Would USA risk for the sake of Poland , that Russia would turn USA´s big cities into radioactice glass within two hours? After this war it becoming clear, NATO is only good for promoting USA´s interests in Europe, not for real war....It is all done, Russia under sanctions, Ukraine on steroids from USA and Europe.. and it is already clear what is going to happen... What USA should have given to Ukraine was just one signature, prior this war- assuring Russia , that NATO(understand USA) would never expand in to Ukraine... That would be the easy and cheapest way to keep Russians home. USA´s greed did not let this to happen(even Putin was asking for it last year several times) Russia under sanctions and during the war was capable to show it´s new extraordinary capabilities making Russia unbeatable, Zircon hypersonic missile is turning USA aircraft carriers in to sitting ducks...see this video commented by USA´s expert on Zircon missiles matter: th-cam.com/video/dLbVD9M63KI/w-d-xo.html
The US strategically lost when blindly marginalized pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine and one-sidedly supported right nationalists presenting them as democracy builders. Kyiv has never been a strategic player in Eurasia rather populist nationalist - a kind of Pinscher, barking a lot, sucrificing itself for the owner. US can be proud of such loyal dog but Moscow is of crucial importance for the West to survive competition with China. What made things worse is that absolute majority of non-Western world rejected to support US in Ukraine. Even India and Arabs despite obvious strategic value rejected to side with US, practically leaving West on its alone, first time in history. How Kyiv can win in such conditions? More likely we can see collapse of EU.
i would love if u mention the last 80 years what USA did !!! vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Japan nuclear bomb, and for Fareed do u remember the article you published i mean u stole it
Fareed Zakaria talks total codswallop. His example of Austria-Hungary as the cause of World War I ignores the fact that it was Germany that was intent on war. This is what Germany communicated to Austria-Hungary when it consulted their treaty ally. Had Germany not wanted war, they could have dissuaded Austria-Hungary from going to war against Serbia and precipitate war. This was unlike when in 1913 Russia consulted British Foreign Secretary Edward Grey. He dissuaded Russia against precipitating war over Serbia. Russia's war in Ukraine was not inevitable. The West's failure to incorporate Russia into the European architecture has precipitated this war. The chess pieces were moved in such a way as to make the war inevitable.
Is it the rules-based international system, Fareed, in which the US invaded Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan leaving devastation and hundreds of thousands killed? Or is it the rules-based world order which empowered US bombard Serbia with depleted uranium ammo???!

But we do know why the Marshall Islands were targeted as test-bed for Nuclear WMD - which affected many lives who depended on fishes for meals on table. We also know that many were affected by Agent Orange back in 1973 and the countless of People who dies or amputated due to millions of Landmines, which make land not arable.

And to think that I once thought that Fareed Zakaria's takes were objective, sensible commentary that slightly irked the political establishment by going against the grain. Boy was I wrong.

When do America ever follow the "international based order"?🤭In the past 20 years, Russia has invaded 1 or 2 countries but US has invaded 5 or 6 countries... I don't think the math is too hard lol.
The West had the opportunity to set up a proper rules-based international system at the end of the Cold War. The West wanted to tackle more complex problems than what could be done according to the rules like e.g. the allegations about Saddam's WMD and later the Iranian nuclear program. But what the West ended up doing amounted to bending the rules of the existing system, twisting the arms of Russia and China to get along and support UNSC resolutions under Chapter 7 when it was not appropriate to invoke Chapter 7.
It would have been far better to have set up a new arbitration system where neutral international law judges would hear cases that would be referred to it by the UNSC instead of the the US and Britain ended up being an involved party, police officer, prosecutor, and judge at the same time in a case like the Iraqi WMD issue. But far from setting up such a system, even the existing system was ultimately not good enough. The cat and mouse games involving inspections of Saddam's presidential palaces in the 1990s were bad enough, but in 2003 the US and Britain could not accept findings of the UN weapon inspectors who were doing their jobs under the rules that the US and Britain themselves had proposed after some arm twisting to get Russia and China to agree.
The Iran nuclear case is a similar story. Ideally such an issue is handled best by an independent court where evidence provided by the US, Israel etc. can be examined. Short of that we have the IAEA, but the US argument back in 2002 was that Iran was skirting the rules and formally staying inside the rules but still working toward a nuclear weapons capability. The US used a procedural trick to get the IAEA to refer Iran to the UNSC. Once the dossier was at the UNSC, the US exerted pressure on Russia and China to get along with UNSC resolutions banning Iran to enrich uranium.
This led to an escalation of the dispute with Iran, a decade later a deal was agreed to, the JCPOA, that was along the lines that Iran itself had proposed at the start of the dispute in 2002. But in 2002 when the EU and Iran were seeing eye to eye on such a solution, the US blocked it, saying that Iran can never be allowed to enrich any uranium.
These and other issues the West has pursued, ended up creating a precedent for strong countries being the police officer, prosecutor, jury, and judge in conflicts they themselves are involved in. Either all countries have the right to act on their own judgments and then e.g. declare that a president of another sovereign country has to leave office on their say-so, or no country has the right to make such decision themselves. The West chose the former (thinking that de-facto all = only the West) and is now paying the price for that.
Grow up,
the Iran dispute is about the US agent, The Shah, being kicked out by the people.
No different from Batista in Cuba or Venezuela kicking Shell/Exon et al out of their oil fields.
Capitalist states wage war to expand their empire -- simple as....
So basically the west is at fault
The United States has destroyed itself.
We don't back our money with gold or anything else. We back it with the full faith an credit of the United States of America.
We've completely destroyed that over the past 30 years.

@@Boriqua76

@@Boriqua76 The West is not at fault when it condemns Russia for invading Ukraine. One may, for argument's sake, assume that the West was not wrong to pursue a case against Iraq about its suspected WMD programs in 2002. The issue is then simply one of being an involved party in a dispute, prosecutor and judge at the same time. It's not a matter of being right or wrong in that dispute. If one ends up in such a role for noble reasons, then that ends up setting a precedent. Other actors can later end up doing an intervention based on their own judgment, and it's then inevitable that there will be cases where some party intervenes somewhere for deeply flawed reasons.

Why is Chechnya even mentioned? It's no different than the US preventing it's own state from illegally leaving the union. It's a huge stretch.

@@nbell5050 exactly! I support Russia, if this war didn't happen UNFORTUNATELY World War III would have become much more likely. The EU and US should have simply said Ukraine will never join NATO and life would be normal right now for all.
I respect Fareed’s take on certain issues, people make mistakes its good that we admit to it. However, one’s take is one’s assessment and point of view it doesn’t necessary mean that it is true, there is always a flip side to that coin, no one is innocent or a bystander here, there is no fire without smoke.
Very good analysis. The Question is, will the west come together and avert Russian aggression in UKRAINE. Will the west walk their talk.
The West and the Middle East are very much going to take Russia to a level where it is not a problem. China will get the same treatment. Right now Ukraine is a death trap and Russia has stupidly bulled in with not a military actually but a gang. Russia never had a real military to start with. Just a bunch of bodies to throw. They are now facing an actual military. Something they have not done in a bit.

What about Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia etc?
What about Yemen, Syria, Chad, Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, .....
Mr Fareed's this take about existing rules based system is also biased in my opinion, he should welcome the new change in his mind and belief.
Sorry to disagree, Rules based order is a rule concocted by USA, & has nothing to do with INTERNATIONAL based order according UNITED NATIONS!, not according to a specific country.
If you think you can emerge “victorious” or “defeat” the Russian Federation, you need to change your history books!
Ir'a true that history is written by the victors. and the truth is the first casuality of war.
When you impede a military super power security system there is a price to pay.
And the consequences of a prolong proxy war with Russia will probably result in a nuclear conflict. Which is dangerous for the whole world.
Sadly, the conflict in Ukraine is purely unnecessary and is based on geopolitics to antagonize Russia.
Certainly, the narrative would have been different if Russia was to perpetuate the same in Cuba or Mexico.
Unfortunately, wisemen and women around the world are silent about the geopolitical crisis’ being fermented. And are being intimidated to make room for unwise and dangerous policies to flourish. Instead of encouraging peaceful settlement to the crisis in Ukraine they preferred escalation. They propagate dangerous speculative propaganda and comments.
Undoubtedly, monetary consideration and self aggrandizement are more important to them than human lives. Blessed are the peace makers.
The narrator, however skillful and good he may be in his vocation/ career., his time will be up, and be subject to judgement ....! Meanwhile, 'harvest' whatever he can, in the land of the plenty... umm,,, still ok!
Nobody impeded anything, except perhaps an unjust invasion of a sovereign country. Russia was not antagonized or threatened. Your talking points are both false and foreign, straight out of the Kremlin.
All of this is a lie . The whole Ukraine crisis is to stop the import of the 40%of ammunition from Russia to the U.S. for the New World Order agenda CULLING Great RESET PERIOD. The U.S. traitors Biden administration is LITERALLY sending America's assets to use AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLES REPUBLIC. FYI with 4 TRILLION DOLLARS plus you can create a country,........let that sink in for a moment
@@deborahfreedman333 Thank you--totally agree. Christopher seems to have wandered into the poppy fields.
Fuck off, there was NEVER been a war free of cost and non interference, just because invading forces have nukes. USSR supplied SAM systems to Vietnam and vice versa USA send weapons to Afghanistan, and neither used nukes in retaliation because it's obvious what will happen next. I see what you did there with Cuba, but to compare it to Ukraine is just ridiculous, US explicitly denied sending to Ukraine any long range rockets exactly for this reason, let alone nuclear armed. Ah and yes Russia is still suppling conventional weapons to Cuba, should they also stop doing it just because US has nukes?!
The thing about proxy wars is, that they are perfect for grinding down invading forces till the war becomes to costly to continue, and serve as a deterrent for any other countries who think that they can just subjugate countries with force.

It's worrying to see the fatigue in supporting ukraine. Some politicians in Europe are still living in a fantasy that Russia will stop after donbas or even the whole of Ukraine
@raj That's why NATO (or at least the USA and UK) ned to go in, boots on the ground & fighter jets closing the skies to kick Russia out of Ukraine NOW. Before more fatigue sets in. Before more people are murdered by Putin.
everything depends on the behavior of the West, the more aggressively Ukraine is pumped with weapons, the further Russia is ready to go. Russia did not claim the territory of Ukraine, it was enough to fulfill the Minsk agreements and the Donbass would remain part of Ukraine.
@@nebonaladoni2678 we know u just a Russian/ Chinese troll bot. But nevertheless ya we are not stupid to think Russian aggression and barbaric behaviour is limited to what they say in the media. We know what is next after Ukraine and Donbas. So just keep your stupid Soviet era propaganda within your uneducated family
@@michaelgl8516 I think Russia may take that as an attack on the Russian state which triggers their nuclear policy. I really am not an expert but nato could explore securing Ukrainian territories along the west down to the Central areas since Russia promises it is only interested in donbas and south. Also they could possibly send a coalition to the black sea. But I know right wing nationalist politicians will make a lot of noise about this suggesting their countries are starting a war with Russia. Just a tragic mess 😢
@@nebonaladoni2678 The more the West sends in the weapons that Ukraine needs the more that Russia bleeds weakening it and the closer Putin is to being ousted. As for Putin's goals in Ukraine it is ultimately to conquer it and forcibly incorporate it into Russia.
It's funny that Fareed mentioned about world war one, and compare Russian vs Ukraine as Austria-Hungary vs Serbia, so from that sense, Maidan revolution (or coup since it's same as January 6 event in Capital Hill) is same kind of event as Archduke Ferdinand Assassination. The case study about world war one indicate he is totally wrong.
Correct and incorrect analysis. Russia has been the glove but China is the fist for Russia would not be able to be as aggressive without the quiet waiting of China on its side as its moves are more subtlety strategic and longer term. They are a tandem interlinked pair with China being the money backstop to Russia's aggression.
Still can’t get over the Russians in the Oval Office back slapping and giggling with Trump. Why wouldn’t they feel they can do whatever they want?
Mr. Austin from USA said: "We want to weaken Russia! " And what happened after that? Russia is humiliating NATO already, winning economicaly and militarily as well- crushing western guns every day. West is suffering from sanctions which are harming the west itself. Rubl is stronger now, dollar weaker. NATO is not credible anymore and USA´s hegemony is over. Or anybody could believe that USA would retaliate , if Russia would send a NUKE against Poland for instance to stop arms deliveries? Would USA risk for the sake of Poland , that Russia would turn USA´s big cities into radioactice glass within two hours? After this war it becoming clear, NATO is only good for promoting USA´s interests in Europe, not for real war....It is all done, Russia under sanctions, Ukraine on steroids from USA and Europe.. and it is already clear what is going to happen... What USA should have given to Ukraine was just one signature, prior this war- assuring Russia , that NATO(understand USA) would never expand in to Ukraine... That would be the easy and cheapest way to keep Russians home. USA´s greed did not let this to happen(even Putin was asking for it last year several times) Russia under sanctions and during the war was capable to show it´s new extraordinary capabilities making Russia unbeatable, Zircon hypersonic missile is turning USA aircraft carriers in to sitting ducks...see this video commented by USA´s expert on Zircon missiles matter: th-cam.com/video/dLbVD9M63KI/w-d-xo.html

I like how Americans always talk about abiding to "International Rule Based Order" but really meant US rule base order.
The rules-based order came out of the establishment of the United Nations, where Russia was a signatory. A world without the rules is a world with anarchy. Not a good prospect.
@@Ed_Downunder You don't get out much or you just don't pay attention to outside of US? US is a banana republic, and US does not abide to your so called international rule base order. Go ask any Africa nations, better yet go ask your neighbors South America what they think of US snakes.

Are you sure you didn't forget the word "don't" from the middle, like this: "I don't like..."

Always? Really?
- "...talk about abiding to "International Rule Based Order" but really meant US rule base order."
It doesn't seem like you actually know what you are talking about. First the obvious: Fareed Zakaria isn't the USA. Secondly, the world is governed and guided by large number of international laws, norms, agreements and treaties, which together are sometimes referred to as the international rule based order. Those norms weren't dictated by the USA, nor does the USA always even like them. A large part of them were decided by the United Nations, where each member country has one vote.

Long live Putin, long live Russia
Did 🇺🇸 and West considered such invasion of Iraq 🇮🇶, Afghanistan 🇦🇫 and other sovereign countries? What are such invasions called , ruled base international invasions!!! Double Standard laws!!!
The focus needs to remain on Russia, not China. The US should be wary of China and keep and eye on them but it doesn’t help anyone to be constantly poking and antagonizing China before they’ve even done anything.
I really disagree. China has already been doing something, and even though that is not an attack on a sovereign country it doesn't mean that they are not a real threat that US has to take into account and adopt their plans to. Otherwise it is most likely that thing eventually will happen, that US cannot prevent. If they can now even.
China is using loans as Trojan Horses to poorer countries. When the countries default, China will gain military bases in lieu. Might take another decade, yet China is preparing to take on the West.
America has done more my friend just recall Afghanistan,Lybia and Irak twice !!!
There both a problem!! But one time we had to fight Germany and Japan at the same time, so I suspect we may have to prepare for both??

A rhetorical question that should never be asked by an American MSM because the majority of the world knows the answer except most Americans..
The long American History makes one puke and puke .
The US strategically lost when blindly marginalized pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine and one-sidedly supported right nationalists presenting them as democracy builders. Kyiv has never been a strategic player in Eurasia rather populist nationalist - a kind of Pinscher, barking a lot, sucrificing itself for the owner. US can be proud of such loyal dog but Moscow is of crucial importance for the West to survive competition with China. What made things worse is that absolute majority of non-Western world rejected to support US in Ukraine. Even India and Arabs despite obvious strategic value rejected to side with US, practically leaving West on its alone, first time in history. How Kyiv can win in such conditions? More likely we can see collapse of EU.

So you support Japanese war ciminals raping Chinese, Korean, and other civilians in Asia?
Fareed Zakaria talks total codswallop. His example of Austria-Hungary as the cause of World War I ignores the fact that it was Germany that was intent on war. This is what Germany communicated to Austria-Hungary when it consulted their treaty ally. Had Germany not wanted war, they could have dissuaded Austria-Hungary from going to war against Serbia and precipitate war. This was unlike when in 1913 Russia consulted British Foreign Secretary Edward Grey. He dissuaded Russia against precipitating war over Serbia. Russia's war in Ukraine was not inevitable. The West's failure to incorporate Russia into the European architecture has precipitated this war. The chess pieces were moved in such a way as to make the war inevitable.
