Lovely! Cuppa coffe and fresh news from JP. Take care team!
I'm drinking coffee out of my new Ukraine 🇺🇦 mug and catching up on the news, all while four big dogs wrestling. 😊 Enjoy! ☕
@@surpriseitsus9622 Four dogs? That is a full time job right there!
I don't understand why the EU seems to have no will or mechanism to kick Hungary out. They may as well invite Belarus. The EU needs to start implementing a Defense component and make working for the common defense mandatory. But then again NATO doesn't do that either. We're idiots
Times have changed in unforeseen ways since these organisations were created. They need to make it mandatory for membership to continue to abide by the conditions which were originally created for joining.
@davidhowse884 Same thing should apply to the U.N. Circumstances have "slightly" changed since 1945.
@@cstaub5147 Yes. The UN needs reform.
@@davidhowse884 Badly, particularly the Security Council. The idea that the five permanent members should have an absolute veto, based on the idea that they all want peace and global security, is rubbish.
I would propose removing the Security Council and replacing it with a "Legal Council", and aim to move disputes or conflicts from "might is right" to "what is right", that is from power hegemony to a legal framework. But I know not in my lifetime.@@cstaub5147
Love your videos jp

Hey hey
Hi Jimmy ❤🇩🇰
Uppsala Sweden approves and agrees.
Thank you Jonathan ❤ Love to Team ATP ❤ Love to Ukraine ❤ 🫂
china is complicit in crimes against Ukraine
Time to review Hungary's and Slovakia's membership in NATO. What use are they to the organisation? They have the power of veto - that is, they can hinder any step against Russia and in favour of Ukraine. NATO should act fast
Agree 100%.
Afternoon JP 👍😊
Hi Jonathan, thanks once more for your interesting video and sidetracks. I could not agree more!
I have deleted my rant about Hungary and why the EU and NATO do not have a downgrade status in which a country has to proof itself again to become full part of the EU and/or NATO once more.
1. If Hungary is no longer a democracy, it has to go
2. If Hungary is a democracy, where votes count and Orban can be send home, the Hungarians have to be reminded we have different moral fibers in the EU.
In both cases they have to step back until they know how to place nicely. I doubt Russia will give Hungary the same benefits it currently gets from the EU, especially if the play nice.
But in current position Hungary is too big of a liability for our security and it is way to easy for them to undermine our democracy with a veto.
I vote for a status downgrade!
A significant smaller rant later…
Cheers, Rick

Hungary should be threatened with exclusion from NATO and EU, there must be rules in both orgs that have been violated which can be used for leverage. Off they go, put up borders with them. They are also part of Schengen which should really sound some huge alarm bells. I also hope that many of the european corperations who have located in hungary moves out to other parts of Europe.
Fresh as a daisy indeed.
I stopped watching the BBC due to its regular News presenters bias against Corbyn.
Thank you, Jonathan, for your excellent presentation of the latest geopol news. You do an amazing job.
Cheers Slava Ukraini!
I used to listen to the BBC WorldService, and got to know the guy who operates the transmitter in the Waitakere Ranges, west of Auckland.
Now I listen mostly to Radio NZ National. RNZ had a scandal last year with an on-line journalist editing the coverage of the Ukraine conflict in favour of the russians. A few months ago, when a series of SU-34 was shot down, RNZ reported that two F-16s were also shot down. In the last week, RNZ reported that over 100 Ukrainian UAVs were intercepted during the massive strike. Now I am figuring out how to educate their news editor about the credibility of the russian news media. Art H
Yes, I reported the scandal
@@ATPGeo I know. I just included the scandal for a bit of background.
RNZ may just be understaffed, and parroting other naive mainstream media. But they could certainly do with a little education. My bit for the fight against mis/disinformation.
Great video thank you so much

I think it’s time for the west to start cooperating but not mention where their cooperation will be.
Going forward I don’t see any reason for any cooperation with any government who isn’t already 100%above the board on NATO side .
It’s time to make room for the couple countries who truly want to be NATO then get rid of a couple players who are there as Russian spies.
Maybe the more apparent it is that Russia and China are working together against the west, the more this will be realised in the US, and the stronger the US will support Ukraine. Ben Hodges has advised that it's in the US interests to wrap up the Ukrainian conflict in advance of any potential Chinese conflict, 2027. being the year it is thought China will be ready to attack Taiwan.
Imo in 2025 the Ukrainian goal should be to defeat Russia and support supplied to achieve that goal.
The polls do not look to good when november comes.
Never believe our polls here in America. I never have…
It's so hard to tell if people like Orban genuinely feel positive about russian policies and methods or if Putin has some kind of Kompromat on them. I feel the same way about Trump and Olaf Shultz. I always felt it might be better for the US to have 10 super carrier battle groups instead of 11 and spend the 50-100 billion $ on foreign influence. Clearly russia which has an economy half the size of the single state of California has vastly oversized political influence worldwide.
The Speaker of the Georgian Parliament has accused the Foreign Ministers of Lithuania, Estonia and Iceland, who participated in a Tbilisi rally against the law on foreign agents, of attempting to overthrow the Georgian government.
I consider the sympathies some Germans especially in the east have for Russian as a variant of the Stockholm syndrome. Understandable but misplaced.
@atpgeo The international community have no leverage of Hungarian internal politics, so how can they put that preasure? It is impossible. If all western countries threaten to remove their businesses which are located inside hungary to other eu countries, I mean, how far do we go with this cancer?
Many people MASSIVLY UNDERESTIMATE THE VIDEOGAME PSYOPS. Alot of online spaces are constantly staffed by propagandists and with many in games not aware or caring about the political factions they represent it is a very fertile ground for spreading propaganda. Growing up playing alot of online games i have been forced to deal with trolls doing things like abusing reporting features in games for saying anything anti russian/ccp since childhood. This ABSOLUTLY has altered the information space people inhabit and thus their thoughts beliefs and actions...
23:20 I would like to see a precedent set for allowing privateering of goods evading sanctions.
This was a good one jp. My thoughts
1) I think you misunderstand the concept of cooperation between China and ruzzia in communications. My interpretation is creation of a closed or heavily censored media space. I take to mean bringing the greatvfiewall and fire hose to ruzzia effectively creating a controlled environment in relation to the internet.
2) hungary out should be out.
3) bbc =cbc. Definately left and extremely diverse. The scourge of badwhar.
4) regarding usyk I get you don't enjoy the fighting. However you should be referencing in terms of the "z" speaker in ukraine who no longer identifies as z. Never forget usyk is crimean was OK with 2014 and has totally flipped now.
Keep up the solid work.

DW (deutsche Welle) is also financed by the US
And why is that a problem? Financing by russkia is like being financed by a druglord, drugaddict, killer, rapist, moron and lier all in the same. Financed by some institusion in US is to prefer. DW is owned by the German government so I think you are actually lying. You are a troll.

Is it not russian stuff that goes throw kyrgyzstan to UAE and western stuff goes throw kyrgyzstan to russia?
Exactly!! 😂
🤔
One thing you need to understand about Serbia, ALL our politicians are from Bosnia or Montenegro.
I dont understand how several countries, especialy those that were invaded and mauled by Russia/USSR for so many years, can feel some sort of admiration for Russia in 2024. Whats wrong with those people? Their grandparents fought the russians for them have freedom today. Dont they have memory or pride?
Is it Stockholm syndrome?
Is very hard for me as Portuguese, to understand that. The Portuguese people dont admire any countries or foreign leaders in that way.
JP,, what you do is to get some maggots in there to eat out the rot,, thats what Harper would have done,,
Getting me fix of ATP Geopolltics!
Because both Russia and China are refraining in large extent hitting their ai and iot should be easy and not effect the west so much. They might have the upper hand propaganda wise even though it's rubbish. In ai and iot keeping rubbish inside it's ream should be fairly simple.
AI and IOT go far beyond some bot farm services. They can control weapons and decide on targeting. The less technology Russia gets the better.
The same situation with NPR and PBS in the USA 🇺🇸 as with the BBC in the UK 🇬🇧. Trump hated them, wanted to defund them.
And liberal Cleese is on GBN just out of spite cos he is Scorpio :)

It is ridiculous to always think we can "win bad actors over" like Putin or Orban -we can't. We tried that with Stalin that was a mistake. IF Hungary was kicked out of NATO and the EU Orban may go to Russia, but the Hungarian people would probably choose other leaders. It is the same with Netanyahu - if Biden had made clear we would not support them without a 2 State Solution Israelis would probably have chosen other leaders, same with Modi and India, who depends a lot on the US for their economy, same with MBS to a degree. We make the same mistake over and over placating bad actors which only helps them to win elections - especially Putin.That is why protesters like the ones in Georgia and Iran ASK for our countries to do sanctions. Doing so makes the leaders less popular
I doubt anyone at that time thought we could win Stalin over, all world leaders knew very well what he was, what he had made soviet into, that is why the marshall plan was set up to build up the western europe to stand up to soviet. I quote wikipedia: "The goals of the United States were to rebuild war-torn regions, remove trade barriers, modernize industry, improve European prosperity and prevent the spread of communism.[2] ". We are at the same place in History today, we need a Biden plan to make the western alliance more robust against russkies. That includes Ukraine and other free countries which russkia tries to ruin with russki mir (Or a shitshow as we call it)
BBC Russia are absolutely wasting their breath.
Some of us old-school types within the MAGA movement still remember the nature of what we are dealing with in Putin and the Russian oligarchs. I'm still upset, for example, with Tucker Carlson for his fawning interview of Putin early in his career as an independent podcaster. It was a self-inflicted hit on Tucker's credibility that, at least in my opinion, he has yet to address, let alone recover from. And there is a lot of willfully-blind pro-Russia/Putin sentiment out there, which I occasionally try to counter.
Retired Gen. Michael Flynn is working hard to educate MAGA people on the nature and tactics of 'fifth-generation warfare,' or asymmetric warfare. The nature of this type of warfare is that it doesn't seek primarily to use military force, but the force of ideas to gain ground. It often combines multiple elements into an overall strategy, especially for enemies that lack the military power to go toe-to-toe with a foe like the USA. So, the combatants seek to use subversion and false or controlled/manipulated information to achieve their goals. An example is China's apparent fifth-gen war (5GW) array of tactics against the USA. China achieves economic strength because they are basically a Communist slave state of 1.3 billion people, and that offers the world a huge labor force of ridiculously-low-paid workers assembling everything from iPhones to Nike shoes. Trump recognized and countered this threat by targeted tariffs and by withdrawing the USA from lopsided trade deals like the World Trade Organization and NAFTA, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and renegotiating new and more-fair trade deals.
But in addition to the economic war, China is also exporting fentanyl into the USA. Coupled with Biden- and Establishment Republican open-border policies and domestic judges and District Attorneys funded by George Soros, who are monumentally soft on crime, the result is an epidemic of abuse of a drug far more addictive and deadly than heroin. And it's wreaking havoc in our cities and people's lives.
It is this Soros faction that's wreaking so much havoc within the USA that, I think, arouses much of the MAGA people's ire with Ukraine. Soros is Zelensky's primary financial supporter, and is viewed as a hero for backing the 'Maidan' protests. And Soros is one of Putin's chief rivals for global influence. And so, as the saying goes, for MAGA people, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," or so many seem to think.
Personally, I view Soros vs. Putin as Hitler vs. Stalin 2.0, with many eerie parallels. And I despise them both equally.
Another example of 5GW is the battle for people's minds with regards to Putin and his war. I frequently see outrage within the MAGA movement over Ukrainian corruption, which is rightly criticized for being 'the 3rd-most corrupt nation in the world.' But left unsaid is the fact that Russia is THE most corrupt nation in the world, and that basically the entire Russian economy was stolen by 'former' Communists -- or at least, those state-run businesses that were worth stealing, while the rest, such as state-run municipal utility and public-infrastructure companies were left to rot, which is a major reason why most of the cities and town spread out over Russia's 11 time zones have decayed to the status of some of the worst cesspits of the 3rd World. And it is Putin who's waging a brutal invasion and war in Ukraine.
The challenge is to sort out just who within the MAGA movement is honest, and who is a paid fifth columnist. Tucker may be riding high within the MAGA movement, primarily due to sympathy over his firing by Fox News, but his financial entanglements with Hungary are a ticking time bomb. I'm just not sure if or when America First patriots will be ready to hear of it. Patriots' concerns are still focused on the disparity between our own largely-undefended border with Mexico and the billions going to defend Ukraine's border. And concerns over Putin's mendacity detract from that. But the issue is strong enough that I think it will emerge, eventually.
I believe Russia is best understood in the context of the history of central banking systems around the world. And the best such work was done by author G. Edward Griffin in his highly-readable "The Creature From Jekyll Island: A Second Look At The Federal Reserve." One of Griffin's key points is that the entire fiat-money central-banking system is a mechanism of plunder, via endless large loans to governments around the world, with vast interest revenue reaped thereby. And one of the chief mechanisms to induce governments to go into massive debt is WAR. So, it's in the big financiers' interest to foment war at every possibility. Which is why WESTERN financiers bankrolled the Bolsheviks in 1917, even at the expense of the first post-Tsar government in Russia, the Kerensky regime. Griffin's chapter, "The Best Enemy Money Can Buy" gives us a timeline of this vital history in Russia, from the Bolsheviks to around 1990, about when Putin was vaulted into power. The latest (5th) edition of the book ends about the time of the transition from Boris Yeltsin to Putin's election, so the chapter offers little detail of that critical transition, but everything up to that point provides important historical context for the transition. And the subsequent consolidation of power by Putin becomes much more understandable in that context. The book (originally published in 1989, with subsequent updates through its current 5th Edition) is obviously a bit dated in terms of current events, but I still recommend it highly.
In the end, BOTH Soros and Putin are creatures of this global financial establishment: as Griffin puts it: the best enemies money can buy.
Imagine
F16s moved to secret base with details of defences
Hungary EU member and NATO member then informs Russia and F16s and base destroyed
Ukraine will never win this war
Spies openly within the EU and NATO
America dictating where Ukraine can hit
A drip feeding defensive weapons
Meanwhile Russia get weapons openly from dictatorships who dont care whete the weapons hit
Wish you would stop saying you understand US political stances. I have been a life long Republican and me and most my associates can’t stand Trump or Orban of Hungry. Just stop you show your ignorance
Budapest had literally been chosen for the US conservative conference, including this year when it will return for the THIRD time. Trump literally laid out the red carpet fitter Orban. Many analysts have Trump the overwhelming favourite fur POTUS. Punchbowl News reported 2 days ago:
"McConnell took to the Senate floor Thursday to deliver a forceful rebuke of members of his own party who have fawned over Orbán - though without mentioning Trump by name, of course. Hungary is a European Union and NATO member, which complicates the dynamic even further.
But McConnell pleaded with pro-Orbán conservatives in the GOP to cut it out, citing Orbán’s open hostility to the Western alliance and his deference to U.S. adversaries like China, Russia and Iran.
“This isn’t where America should be taking our foreign policy cues,” McConnell said. “I didn’t think conservatives had any time for those who suck up to Iran.”
The longtime Hungarian leader has won fans in the American right for challenging European governments’ embrace of progressive causes and championing right-wing culture war issues. Trump and many of his allies have hailed Orbán’s government as a model."
Read the article "Conservatives want to make the US more like Hungary. A terrifying thought" by Andrew Gawthorpe.
Or perhaps the WSJ piece from only three other week:
"MAGA on the Danube: Inside the Love Affair Between U.S. Conservatives and Hungary" with the tagline:
At CPAC in Budapest, Republicans pay tribute to Viktor Orban; ‘It’s a natural alliance’
Johnathan you cover the war very well but you must live in a tic toc eco chamber because there’s o no ability for objectivity in politics. As an example when you say the mags republicans were holding up the money for Ukraine when both the democrats and republicans had positions holding it up. The Republicans would have passed the bill immediately if the democrats would have passed legislation securing the borders. Your preferences are showing, and you do this every time you speak of politics in the US.
I think you will find that it was the republican who didn't want a border bill because Trump wanted it as a victory "when" he is elected, so I think you are extremly wrong. You are either a "nice" troll or an ignorant (choose whatever).
What BS!! Trump from 2016 had the opportunity " to secure the borders ". And nothing happened. Why?
Because US needs this labor. Farm workers are in great demand and they contribute to US economy. No American want's to harvest lettice or grapes. The American rural economy would collapse if it wern't for the so called wet backs. Actually nobody want's a closed border to Mexico. It's just something MAGA's are reiterating to attract misinformed American voters. Money talks my friend.
