Ukraine War: How Sanctions on Russia Will Backfire Against Western Imperialism, w/ Prabhat Patnaik
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 พ.ค. 2024
- The fighting in Ukraine might be a European war but its consequences are global, and it may even cause changes in geopolitical balances, relations and multipolarity. How can we understand this war as anti-imperialists? What will its global economic consequences be? And what will be the result of the unprecedented sanctions imposed on Russia?
To help make sense of it all, Rania Khalek was joined by Marxist economist Prahbat Patnaik, professor emeritus at JNU and author of “A Theory of Imperialism” and the more recent “Capital and Imperialism: Theory, History, and the Present,” both co-authored with Utsa Patnaik.

Love this young lady for her relentless pursuit of truth and its dissemination.
Here's a truth: The USA is a troublemaking drama queen!
Leslie Thomas just hates USA 🇺🇸 & prosperous western countries. It’s just jealousy over powerful USA 🇺🇸. People are dying, fools
I am an American. You are doing an excellent job! I appreciate your videos! I agree that our foreign policy analysis and summation on Russia and Putin are based on slander, gossip, rumors and lies.
Then it falls on your shoulders to educate your fellow Americans about the truths.
We Zimbabwe Communists fully support Russian intervention against Nazi-led Ukraine and the USA and NATO. But we welcome sanctions against Russia because they delink Russia from Western economic control. And, unlike Zimbabwe, Russia has the will and capacity to reorganise its economy.
Nazis who elected a Jew to run their country?
This is rediculous even for a Russian bot
Yep - it also lets russia get free from the pro-west russian elites.
@@DBWELDER100 yeah it's seems surprising but pro-zionist israel zelensky dosen't seem to have any problems with bandera neo nazis . Maybe all of 'em far right found a common ground.
You might be surprised but there were jews in Wehrmacht also. The highest profile Jewish figure serving was undoubtedly Field Marshal Erhard Milch, Air Inspector General of the Luftwaffe, who, with Hitler’s permission, was later reclassified as an honorary Aryan. Another interesting figure of Jewish descent was Emil Maurice, an early member of the National Socialist Party, a founding member of the SS, a personal friend of Hitler and fellow prisoner in Landsberg, and for a time Hitler’s personal chauffeur. Hitler in fact rescinded Himmler’s attempt to expel Maurice and his brothers from the SS, and personally designated Maurice an honorary Aryan.
Being a Jew is not an alibi. One of the Ukrainian oligarchs is a Jew also - his name is Igor Kolomoisky, he was calling himself "zhidobanderovets", which literally means "a Jew who supports Ukrainian Nazi "hero" Bandera". Stepan Bandera was a Jew himself but was still responsible for mass murderers of jews in Ukraine. Kolomoisky was the main funder of Zelensky's 2019 Presidential campaign. He financed about 8 Neo Nazi militias in 2014/2015 also, including the Azov Battalion.

Omg, they somehow literally almost made me believe that they were the world. Watching their media is hypnotizing. I literally forgot about China Africa Latin America India etc....and Russia itself.
This is such a unique site for gathering another point of view. We won't hear any of this on CNN. Thank you.
I admire you Rania for your capacity to bring so many amazing guests to your show! Thank you for sharing.
Rania and her team are excellent journalists
Rania is so bright she keeps surprising me with the breadth of her knowledge and articulate questions. Her choice of interviewing the awesome Professor Prabhat Patnaik confirms it. Well done.
I'm so glad Prahbat made the point about there being two different kinds of nationalism. I've always said Palestinian nationalism is historically a lot different to German nationalism. One is a anti colonialist and pro-liberation and the other is pro-colonisation and anti-liberation. It was something I had thought independently but never seen anyone else say, and people think i'm smoking too much ganja when I try make the point.
Dear James, you can watch Prof. Prabhat's lecture on Nationalism here. Perhaps it will help you to enhance your knowledge on nationalism. With love from India.
th-cam.com/video/raASsPtU7iQ/w-d-xo.html
The Nationalism of the NS Germans was a purely reactionary force and never had any progressive potential. But the Nationalism of the Chinese, who fought against their fascist occupyers, was progressive.
US American Nationalism doesn´t have any positive potential. The Nationalism of the Vietnamese in their war of liberation against the French and later the US is a completely diffrent thing.
British/English Nationalism has to be reactionary, whereas Scottish, Welsh and especially Irish Nationalism have progressive potential and most Irish Nationalists are Socialists or at least progressive.
It´s Nationalisms of opressor nations as opposed to those opressed and striving for liberation.
If the Palestinians are so anti colonial why have they not asked Jordan to return the Palestinian area that makes up 80% of Jordan? As for Palestinians being pro liberation when after seizing power in Gaza did HAMAS hold an election? Prahbat is a good speaker but talks nonsense!
A perspective of how the world, outside of EU and USA, react to sanctions on Russia:
Africa
Total no countries :53
Number participants in sanction: 0
Latin America
No. of countries: 33
Number participants in sanctions:0
Middle East
No of countries: 22
Number participants in sanctions: 0
Asia:
No of countries: 48
Number of participants for sanctions: 3
Japan, South Korea and Singapore
Pacific island/
Australia/NZ
No of countries :16
Number of participants in sanctions: 2
Australia and NZ
How does one interpret these numbers ?
When the western politicians say the world, they are only referring to themselves only.
Thank you for excellent work!
On ‘Russian nationalism’: the Russian Federation has over 300 formally recognized ethnic groups. It is a multi-ethnic nation and probably one of the first if not the most diverse country in the world. Due to its ethnic diversity the USSR was organized on the basis of respect and friendship between nations. Diplomacy based on respect and finding mutual benefit is at the core of Russian diplomacy and is in drastic contrast to the Western hierarchical domination approach.
Facts...
Thanks you so much brother
Well delivered.
@@mv8897 If you were Historic Educate you would know the answer to your question.
What a lot of rubbish the USSR was kept together by fear and violence. It was an empire built on oppression. Look at Russia's satellite state Belarus where it's leader threatened to shoot its own citizens who opposed him.
Your show is of very high quality. The guests are perfect. Thank you for all you do.
i heard (i think it was in an Al Jazeera article) that the president of South Africa (Ramaphosa), while not approving of the invasion, has blamed NATO as the root cause for it.
That is correct.
It is very easy to be on the side of Ukraine, because the media narrative of an underdog taking the challenge to an "Evil", "Dictatorial" regime under a "Nazi" strongman is one we have been acclimatized, and primed to, over millennia through narrative storytelling.
I work in this business, so I know this game.
That is exactly what is happening, and has been happening, in the mainstream media bureaus of the "West" for as long as "narratives" and storytelling principles have been in use. In there narratives, the sources to proliferate them are funded, controlled, and proliferated are predominantly "Western" and what is considered "wrong" is valued in a spectrum defined by neo-liberal ideologies--which are also defined based on their own experiences and standards--so anything, anyone, any event, any idea not falling into that realm is immediately denounced, rejected and tried to be eliminated by brute neo-liberal-imperialistic forces led by the United States (the examples are numerous: Vietnam, Iraq, Panama, Cuba, Syria, Libya, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, Yemen, the goes on).
It is not easy to be a Putin in these times, to stand up against this world order, and to do what he is doing, with the interests of the Russian people on his mind. However, to demonize him and dismiss his motivations just because the media narrative swings to a certain well-used and manipulative playbook, is just patently wrong.
If we really want to solve any problem, we have to look into context and motivations, not just appeals to emotion--which never solve anything--here are some arguments that make a very clear case of why we are where we are.
There is actually substantial proof, you just have to search. There are even currently declassified and "unredacted" documents to show the chain of broken promises. Some proof is also so blatant, on camera itself that it's mind boggling how much propaganda is being spewed in English speaking Western legacy media.

And he is absolutely right about it. But the main culprit behind it is the US regime, the state terrorist; who is using terrorism to fight those who will not bend to its demand.
What an intellectual discourse! We need more of this to enlighten the uninformed the dynamics of international politics
It has been a rude awakening for Russia. Because Russia since break up of Soviet Union had been trying to be a member of the western club not knowing that US & Europe selectively view themselves as Superior race.
Putin realized early on that Russia would ultimately become just another vassal state of the west. The US and EU treated Russia like a defeated nation after the end of the cold war, just like it did to Germany at the end of WWI.
so TRUE. I think it was the devil Kissinger that once quipped "it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is FATAL."
Good analysis and assessment from the professor.
Russia 🇷🇺 ❤️
Being like Putin is one man dream ❤️
Another brilliant guest
Africa should stand with Russia 🇷🇺 even if we go for a peaceful world for all.
Yes, everything in excess is dangerous! This will push countries to do anything rational or irrational. They’ll be forced to build their own services and while they may suffer in the short term they will rise stronger in the long term!
My God very interesting conversation now l really understand what is happening in the Western Countries to European Countries very sad
Excellent segment with a wonderful guest. Prof. Prahbat Patnaik explanations and language are so simple that any person can understand complex issues. Brilliant. Please bring him more often. Regards to you Rania and Prof. Prahbat Patnaik.
Superb guest Rania. Excellent work as usual!
What India does is hugely important. I know China and India are not always bickering, but if they go strongly with China, and Russia is forced to trade with China and India even more, Japan and Germany are going to resent the U.S. more and more for keeping them trapped in the western sphere at their expense.
China and India do not have historic enmity. It only began when the brits left a time bomb when they left India - they drew the borders of India to include parts of china. Thus ensuring lasting conflicts.
th-cam.com/video/b1EZTPt5XvU/w-d-xo.html
russia will for sure be selling to china, methane for instance. if india wants fertilizer, putin will be a happy seller. I recommend anyone thinking of enlisting as an imperial storm trooper not to do it. if the empire messes with the dragon, they will get a lot of troops killed faster than you can see.
The Japanese have no honor, because if they did, then they would've never aligned themselves with their American assassins!
Tough for puppy dogs to leave the dog house.
Thank you Breakthrough News and R. Khalek for this remarkable program. Prabhat Patnaik News Hour coming soon? :-)
This lady host is on point my goodness keep up the good work spot on big kudos for your guest speaker the professor
Great show Apreciate it ..World Peace is the Best Medicine
Great chat, thoroughly enjoyed the conversation
ThanQ BT. Brilliant discussion. Greetings of solidarity with Russia & BT from NZ Aotearoa
Thank you, Rania! I wish the Western so-called journalists were half as decent as you in raising substantial questions and leading such a great discussion!
Thank you, Breakthrough News, for helping us learn and understand geopolitics through different lenses! You guys are truly doing God's work! 💛
Lying about a brutal dictator killing women and children is not God's work
@@DBWELDER100 Truth is the first casualty of war! So in this biased environment when Russian news outlets have been banned and we are made to hear only one side, the least we all can do is at least try to find and also hear ppl who have alternative views for a more balanced examination of the situation. For outsiders like us, it should not be about who is lying, rather focus should be on hearing both the sides. Hope you find your peace ✌️
@@DBWELDER100 Lyiing about what USA has done for the past 80 years is better(USA/Nato killed more civilians than all the other nations combined)?
BTW in the dombass war in the fist couple of months(and the next 8 years), children and women were diying by the hundreds. way more than this invasion. But Ukraine was being helped by USA so its all good
You know who was as well a "brutal dictator"?! All the other presidents of Countries with oil....
You blind people that eat all the shit the west throws at you ARE THE REAL REASON for this invasion.
An excellent contribution to counter the quagmire of western propaganda.
Thank you to both Rhania for her interviewing skill and Prahbat's deep knowledge and intuition that made this an interview to be saved.
BTW is a voice of reason in a manipulated world.
Just as long as China survives. China will benefit. Even if USA does not survive. China and the Entire world will benefit GREATLY INDEED.
Thanks, Breakthrough...Some of us speak & understand English but not at the highest level. For us, it should be helpful to have subtitles.
Somehow everyone views the current situation based on the lifestyle, in the western world mostly, of consumerism and wasteful spending. Such wonton waste can never be sustained anyways. Population in the East, Russia and China in particular, had endured the hardships until recently. I'm sure the collective people can buckle down and survive the setbacks. Can we say the same for the pampered folks in the capitalist west? Hmm!?
In the West they are too soft they will cry.
@@thelovertunisia I’m crying because of Gas Prices. I’m upset cause inflation, I’ve notice a lot more homeless around.
I am upper-middle class, African American. Even though I’m not feeling it, many friends and family are going through a hard time. They are completely onboard with fuck Ukraine
@@thelovertunisia Not my people( F.B.A.), our collective knows nothing but hardship in America since 1619.

th-cam.com/video/b1EZTPt5XvU/w-d-xo.html
Just amazing analysis. Thank you so much Rania!
Fascinating and intellectual.Keep it up .
How could call this a European war? This is an American war from the 1990s. Go back to USSR history after the Last world War.
It's a continuation of western capitalism's long war against the left that began in 1917, if not in 1789.
The cold war is part of it but European powers have been trying to conquer Russia since the 19th century...
Good job bringing out the truth from the other side of the argument! Thank you for being fair and factual. We love you for being you.
Thank you BT. It's a treat to listen to your wonderful discussion.
Very well voiced! Thank you
Good discussion and very informative. Thank you Ranik.
And interesting discussion indeed. Quick note though: neither of the hosts have any idea of what it was like during the 90s in Russia ofter the USSR collapse. It's not even remotely as bad. Second, the ruble has already regained some of its value ralative to the dollar. Check the exchange rates. Thirdly, Russian economy is unlikely to collapse for as long as it maintains its strategic exports and so far it does. Oh and many companies that "left Russia" have in fact temporarily suspended their operations. They are still paying their employees.
I started to think that Russia actually backs up its currency with significant amounts of gold. I think it explains a lot keeping in mind its distaste of liberal and neoliberal world order deeply embedded in its people's cultures and subconscious. I really do not expect even a fraction of the economic struggle almost everyone expects will happen and it explains its self-confidence to initiate the operation.
@@esindirik4447 Well, this conflict was long in the making, so, yes, Russian government made sure to diversify the contents of its reserves including gold. I would add that Russians don't have a particular distaste for liberal values since most would be unable to identify what those even are... What they dislike is West forcing themselves into their affairs. I also do expect quite a bit of an economical fallout but nothing world ending.
@@danielsolodov4222 As for identifying liberal values, many in the west wouldn't be able to Identify what liberal values are, it is a universal concept and acquired through experiences and education.
Brilliant take from a global perspective.
Excellent 👍 Learned a lot from this discussion with Prabhat Patniak.
The professor's explanation is like a soort of trade by barter of the old. Any other medium would be better than the dollar.
Congrats and many thanks for work!

Sanctions are biting back at Americans, as cost of running your vehicles are no exorbitant with rising cost of per barrel fuel.
Loses of jobs, reduced trades reduced GDP performance of such nation. Sanctions might negatively impact Russia, but side effect of sanctions would bite US, and under performed its economic performance.

Very informative. Thanks for bringing such conversation to educate viewers.

It is so refreshing to see a beautiful, stunningly gorgeous, and smart woman with brown hair and brown eyes and overall middle eastern attractive exotic look instead of the usual blonde hair and blue eyes.
I am originally from Lebanon and I am over 60 now but I want you to know you are the copy cat of my first love who unfortunately I lost touch with. Her name is Wafa. She was Muslim and I am Christian but religion is based on our parents religion and it never interfered in our love.
I miss Lebanon the way it was when growing up. I hope you are safe and love the country. I’m so proud of you and your intelligence. May God bless and protect you
always. Keep up your great work.❤️❤️
Let's go Rusia we are with you.
In Russia racism’s makes no sense. I don’t even know what my ethnicity is. In 5 generation my family moved like 9 times all over the Soviet Union territory. My mother and sister speak Lithuanian and my father have 30+ relatives in Kazakhstan.
I was in the 1971 Liberation War, and we received armaments from India and much of them were of Russian made. USA also committed much atrocities in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia at the time Johnson was the President. Millions of people died in Vietnam, Cambodia by bombings by USA.
Wow well explained 👏👌thanks
Excellent conversation, I learnt a lot there.
Rania , you're a gem! I really appreciate Breakthrough news.
The JNU mentioned at the beginning is Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi. I had to look it up as there are lots of JNUs around the world! Prabhat Patnaik is a Professor Emeritus there.
My university - which has been completely taken over by our right-wing government
@Rhythm backwards i guess lol
Eastern Ukraine will separate and eventually join Russia it’s historic home.
Well, that's for the Ukrainians to decide for themselves, right?
And Western Ukraine belongs to Poland before WW2.
One critically important and lasting consequence is the demise of globalism!
He's right : Multipolarity is no liberation. And the imperialism is finance capital. It will operate under every partition. Vandana Shiva talk so well about that.. Thank you for this clever interview.
Great interview and great to see you.
indeed much thanks for airing good solid interviews where facts and numbers are presented
Sanctions are devices similar to double edged sword to persecute the non compliance by warlords.
Those who loves to play, dancing with this double edge sword cannot escape all the time the consequences of using that toy
Great reporting 👍
Excellent discussion, highly informative
Thank you Rania !!🙏👍👏👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing. Very interesting insights. Glad to see things from many perspectives.
Thumbs up to TH-cam for recommending.
Western countries have imposed sanctions against Russia and have suffered what will happen when Russia imposes retaliatory sanctions.
Wonderful discussion. I learned so much. Thank you
Excellent interview, as always! Love the work you do Rania, and appreciate that you are mainstreaming these incredibly important thinkers and POVs.
One thing that I have seen tho is an argument that would disagree with your claim that Russia isn’t offering anything other than capitalism and Russian nationalism. While those are certainly present, I think that fails to acknowledge that anti-capitalists and left forces in Russia and Ukraine have expressed varying levels of support for the operation, and it reflects the anti-colonial nature of Russia’s confrontation with NATO.
It’s true that the dominant forces in Russia aren’t ideologues, but in this present crisis won’t Russia be forced to move away from neoliberalism and toward genuine geoeconomic multi-polarity? I think that this is valuable in its own way for progressive forces, as it will push the Global South increasingly toward regional alignments and renewed strategic autonomy during a period where U.S. economic power has reversed when compared to the NIEO period of the 60s and 70s. Progressive forces will have room to seize leverage against their bourgeoises who now see that NATO is not guarantor of their grip on power, and that the imperialist system will happily sacrifice their country for its own purposes should it be advantageous to do so.
It was eye-opening to me, thank you!
I'm discovering your channel, and it's 👍👍👍
Great interview
Truth will always come out.
Wow! 28:00-29:00 this video is so important.

important and instructive
Mr Patniak is right Rania. A currency is solid when there is faith in it. If it is guaranteed by the government and has faith in it then trade can be done with that. It is nonsense to do trade based on one currency like the dollar. When the country is self sufficient then even better because the currency remains in the country. Actually, Russia will become stronger economically. For most of the European countries this is not the case. It is Europe that will suffer most, especially with the extra burdon of Ukrainian refugees and the higher cost of living. Look at Greece, they are not self sufficient and will suffer more because it is under pressure by near bankrupt U S banks just to pay interest. The U S has been a basket case since 2008 financial crises with 30 trillion dollars in debt and has resorted in stealing from other countries that it sanctioned. Selling weapons will not solve the problem.
To counter US arrogant behaviors ,Not war but DUMP the USD is the best solution !
he did not mention the 30 chemical usa research labs in ukraine, with pathogens, which the usa has admitted to, we could have another pandemic.

Thanks once again for this excellent video. India doesn't need to take sides and support the conflict. But it should be ready to do business with anyone who wants to support India's stance. Indian literacy (not even education) is still at 75%..so most Indians don't know where is or what is EU/NATO/Ukraine/Russia..they are more concerned about 'food' and 'survival'. The Indian media goes left and right with tantalising music in the background to cover the conflict. The Indian leadership is dependent on Russia for its military supplies. It wanted to go with the west but always received a could shoulder for the past 70 years. We asked for computer chip manufacturing and we got 'lays', 'ruffels' and 'pringles'. We asked for weapons like B83, reaper drones, assault rifles, F-35 (denied and now India built its own Tejas and very soon the AMCA will be built), M777 Howitzers (we have our Dhanush now), Abrams tanks (we have Arjun MBT now), Ohio class submarines, tomahawk and patriot missiles but we're denied and India has built several missiles on its own (Ago, Prithvi, Trishul, Aakash), aircraft carriers..but all were refused and India has been spending decades to build these in its own.. then India asked for nuclear power plants and again a no..We asked for cryogenic engines for its space program but we're denied.. thankfully Indian have made them on its own.. India asked for GPS at a critical juncture and it was denied and we have our own Navic. UK owns the Kohinoor and nearly 2 trillion in compensation which we will probably never get back..India is still not a permanent member of the security council due to western hypocrisy. The west has very restrictive entry into their countries denying visas..and yet those who managed to get there have shown their commitment to the west.. so India doesn't need to take sides..or I would say it is taking both sides..India is against wars, and has seen no attempts on either side to stop..so it can't support much.. it will not support much since it has too many domestic limitations and not much support from the northern hemisphere..I believe that it's best for the world to leave India alone if it can't be helped..we can and will help ourselves..and it is not fighting either for the Russians nor for the west..and lastly this is a RACIAL war and EU/NATO would like to take over both Ukraine and Russia and resurrect the Third Reich in the northern hemisphere and dominate the world..we can't be parties to racist ideologies and will have to fend ourselves. One must also not forget the genocide commited by the US in the Bhopal Gas tragedy where half a million people had been massacred in 1984 and no compensation was ever paid. India can and will take its own decisions and it needs no explanation.
The imperialistic policy of west can be seen with respect to India, the current India government which is an extension of RSS largely owe their existence thanks to continued support of US and British in initial years, while moving past cold war relations, decreasing dependency on Russian arms was good from Indian point of view but at the same time increasing dependence on West is also a not a good idea long term, it has potential of forming an anti India alliance in neighbourhood as they are increasing looking up to alternatives namely China, multi polar world is most suitable world for India which I am not sure it can achieve with current power(soft and hard) which has decreased drastically with rise of China and foolish policies of this government, the permanent goal Indian foreign policy has always been self reliance as in everything like what China has done since the times of Nehru and it should be permanent goal, all other things comes secondary.
great interview as always :)
i like this guy
I love listening to you thank you for sharing all your knowledge
Well if they are having a deterimental affect on the USA, l would say yes.
I think it would be more accurate to describe it as "neoliberal destruction" as opposed to "neoliberal reform".
Fantastic program! Thanx for being realistic! The Wests' propaganda machine is as usual,working overtime!
very nice video i love keep doing it
good show as all ways
Imperialism still alive
The easiest way to keep people in bondage is to tell them they are free.
55:25 i think Chomsky once mentioned that when South Korea developed, they prevented capital flight by just making it illegal. and the punishment they had for capital flight at the time, was the death penalty! they went from being a poor country (similar to some African countries today) to one of the wealthiest and most developed countries.
after economic development capital constraints can be (somewhat) lifted again, because then short term money can be made by investing in the high tech sector. while pre development short term money could largely be made by resource extraction (like in third world countries), because building knowledge intensive sectors would take longer (meaning: capital wouldn't invest in it, the government has to do it).
Ummm...the south Korean economy was built on the back of mass-prostitution and genocide
Bartering sounds a good idea in the intermediate disaster period till countries recover, only needs to get together and negotiate. Even citizens can do this as long as they produce essentials locally. Produce biogas from refuse, grow your food, wear the same things, go back to basics.
Build houses on elevated platforms to avoid rising water levels while the drains, water diversion schemes take place. The professionals in the first world can help design, global citizen power need to start now. The planet is in danger. The citizens need to take charge and help each other in the world at a large scale. A challenge for the bright young in the first and third world, so called.
And most importantly, get rid of the government. They are the problem, not the solution, especially so that of the US.
You should get Utsa on too sometime - she’s brilliant.
