  1. 1:22:26 It seems to me that the insecurity that plagues the World and has done so since 1945, is almost entirely caused by a small group of warmongers in Washington DC and their hangers-on in London and Brussels. These people form what I call for lack of a better term (I think that no one has given this phenomenon a name previously.) a "vicious circle". It consists of a complex of several parts; the USG, the firms making military arms, the members of the Congress and the Senate and the lobbyist industy, insofar as it relates to the arms industry. These components form a self-reiforcing ring-structure, where the congresscritters and USG officials are investing in the arms industry and profit from its dividedends and the notorious "Revolving door". The arms industry, in turn pays the Lobbyists to keep the congress-critters in line, by subsidizing their election expenses and the USG fuells the whole set-up by extracting taxes willy-nilly from the US public. It seems to me that so long as this Vicious Circle exists, there will be no peace in the World. Because it is very stable, ruthless and self-protective, it is very difficult for anyone or any ordinary organization to dismantle it. However, the present and the near future are far from ordinary times. As there is almost certainly going to be a Russian victory in Ukraine, it seems to me that the Russians would be in a position to insist on the dismantling of this Vicious Circle, which could be done by making an International law that said that all firms making military equipment, had to be state owned and that no private individual or corporation was allowed to own shares in such a firm. I think it might be much easier to get agreement to such a measure than to agree to complete disarmament.

  2. 1:27:38 The Russian have had the experience of settling down Chechnia after a very damaging war, maybe they can apply what they learned from that to the Western parts of Ukraine? (If they can stop the CIA meddling!)

  3. 26:24 What was the purpose of Zelensky's visit to Norway? The Norwegians, as you said, have been enthusiastic supporters of Ukraine in this war AND they have a very large Sovereign Wealth Fund.

  4. 1:22:58 Peace and security in Europe is not enough! It would just allow the WoWs to switch all their attention to the Indo-Pacific.

  6.  @jonthomas9708  Yes, I agree that is a risk. However, I think that reducing the persuasive, attractive, seductive power of the MIC for people not directly involved in it, (shareholders) would be worth taking that risk for. It would also reduce the financial power and the incentive of/for warmongers to make propaganda for war. After all, that governments organized to defeat the Axis Powers, was only to be expected. That was a response to a real threat. The "Drive for War" that has afflicted US policy since the end of WW2, was not a response to a real threat, it war an artifact. Remove the financial muscle from the group that made that "Threat", and I think you would probably so;lve the problem which looks otherwise almost insoluble.
