Comments by "Antony Wooster" (@antonywooster6783) on "Alex Christoforou" channel.

  1. Probably this speech needs to be printed up as a flyer and distributed very widely indeed. Maybe we could stick it in bus shelters and on suitable walls. I have not seen this done for a long time. Do people still do this sort of thing? As Alex said it is pretty certain you will not read it in the MSM.

  2. 3:11 According to the Iraqi and Syrian governments, it was not just militia targets that were hit but also civilian housing, killing a dozen or so civilians.
    115
  3. No. It's not only people out in the streets that scares them, it's information that scares them too, perhaps, even more.
    69
  4. 25:46 "Mad Vlad threatened to kill me" Clearly, Putin is aiming to boost his popularity in Britain!
    67
  5. At the start of the SMO, Finland was a somewhat hostile neighbour which was militarily weak. NATO was "The greatest Military Power the World has ever Seen" The SMO has, essentially, shown that NATO is a hostile neighbour and militarily weak. Too weak to take on Russia, anyway. So you might call this the "Finlandization" of NATO. There is also the making overt the previously covert NATOisation of Finland. So I give the WH scriptwriters 50%. "Should try harder."
    66
  6. 12:05 The reason they could not shoot these drones down (even after a year) was that they had send all their anti - aircraft apparatus and missiles to Ukraine.
    64
  7. 3:07 According to Borzzikman, referring to that Russian threat to attack the decision-making centres, he notes that in the last few weeks there have been a large number of NATO Top Brass, who have mysteriously died in 'plane or helicopter accidents or have fallen off their horse and broken their necks, or died in a car crash.

  8. I want Clare Daly for President!
    57
  9. 8:57 Is this a new low in hypocrisy? "Despite our utmost efforts not to harm innocent civilians, last night there was a tragic mistake." "We are investigating the incident and will obtain a conclusion because that is our policy" Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell us about it! Tell us about your "utmost efforts", do. How many men, women and children have you killed so far? How many more "Tragic mistakes" are in your pipeline?
    52
  10. 27:29 I wonder if Lloyd Austin's complications were caused by a Kinzhal missile while he was visiting a bunker in Kiev?
    50
  11. IIRC the Japanese community in the USA, was very badly treated during WW2. They were systematically robbed. No other word for it. Businesses were taken from them and handed over to Americans who were good friends with the government, while the owners of the businesses were locked up in camps under pretty poor conditions. After the war, they were given no compensation. Ron Unz wrote a long account of it. It is in the Unz Review archive.
    50
  12. Don't forget BoJo!
    46
  13. 12:28 The game changing Stigers, the Patriots, the Challengers, the underwater drones, the 777 artillery pieces, the Cesare artillery pieces, the Bayractor Drones, Vanity, vanity, all is vanity!
    44
  14. 15:13 It was not just Russia whose assets they seized! They have done it multiple times, but recently to Venezuela, and to Iran. It could not be clearer than it is, that it is not safe to hold large amounts in dollars.
    42
  15. 21:06 Giving money to VW at the same time that the EU is complaining about China subsidizing its car industry, would be a quite peculiar embarrassment! Has Scholz got the chutzbar to do it?
    42
  16. 22:53 Mongolia's President also said "Putin has committed no war crime in Mongolia."
    41
  17. 15:53 Since Britain sent Depleted Uranium shells to Elensky, talk about "Food safety" is, at best, a cover-up!
    37
  18. 4:35 That story about the US Ambassador to Serbia: WOW! You really could not make this stuff up!
    35
  19. 24:13 Don't imagine for a moment that these officials, that want 6 - 8 months more war in Ukraine, would/will be any more protective of English, American, German French or any other nationality of lives! They do not care who dies, so long as they get their money and do not lose too much face.
    33
  20. 23:44 I think the reason the Irish are turning so against the Israelis in this war, is that the behaviour of the Israeli army reminds them of the behaviour of the British army in and before their war of Liberation (1916-1922).
    30
  21. 19:20 It is quite obvious that General Surovikin has been taking lessons in strategy from Alex and Alexander!
    30
  22. The Telegraph's advice to Elensky seems a bit optimistic! It reminds me of the old joke about the Enlish tourist in Ireland, who asked the way to Dublin and received the reply: "Dublin is it, yer wantin'? Oh Dear! I wouldn't have started from here, if I was you!"
    29
  23. Hearing you talk about "all the money that has gone to Ukraine, caused me to realise that it is something like four times the Russian Defence budget for a year. Pretty amazing that! More bang for your buck, huh?
    27
  24. 19:08 Who convicted, come to that who tried Maduro? And who gave the the US the power to amnesty him?
    26
  25. 13:12 This re-writing of history was Winston Smith's job, in the novel "1984" wasn't it? It's a long time since I read it, but I think that was his job.
    25
  26.  @akt3292  Высматривать! Без ежей слизни съедят всю вашу капусту!
    25
  27. The point that seems to be being overlooked, is that it is not just Ukraine or Russia that is threatened by the use of these weapons, but because Ukraine supplies a lot of food to Europe and dome to much of the rest of the World, and because plants take up uranium from the contaminated soil, a very large part of the population of the World is threatened by this action of the British government.
    24
  28. 5:49 If CNN were to admit that the Base where these soldiers were killed is in Syria, they would be admitting, in print, to an illegal occupation. That is why this "happened in Jordan." I believe, that in fact, the Al Tanf base is very close to, if not actually on, the junction of Syria, Iraq and Jordan.
    23
  29. Is Elensky going to the 80th anniversay celebrations to represent the losing side?
    22
  30. I know this is silly, but this story about the "spying cranes" conjures up a picture of these cranes leaving the dockyard and running around their cities, like "Wee Willy Winkie, running through the town, upstairs and downstairs peering through the windows.."
    22
  31. 14:53 Though Zelensky is in nominal charge, the conduct of the war is surely really under the supervision of NATO Generals. I cannot believe that they, even they, would be stupid enough to hand over something as important as this war in Ulraine to an actor. Would they?? To my mind this defeat just goes to prove that the NATO generals are incompetent. They have almost, if not quite, admitted to Western journalists that they were providing intelligence and targetting info and micromanaging the war.
    20
  32. 6:38 The IAEA reaction is exactly analogous to the UN's reaction to Israel's killing of UN aid workers. Unbelievably feeble. "If a crime is commited by a member of the CW, that is a matter of no importance." It shows that the IAEA is in the CW's employ.
    20
  33. В военном и социальном плане дела у России идут очень хорошо, однако ее пропаганду и рекламу на Западе необходимо как-то улучшить. Западная пропагандистская машина постоянно очерняет репутацию России. К сожалению, они очень преуспевают в этом.
    20
  34. 2:45 There will never be a stable peace while the Vicious Circle involving the MIC, Congress,the USG, the Media and the lobbying industry, determines US Foreign policy. It does not matter who endorses whom, while that structure is alive and well, there never will be a stable peace. Sorry!
    19
  35. The people of France are "Sans culottes" to Macron?
    19
  36. 4:22 Nuland, Blinken and Sullivan tried to build a "house of cards", but even a house of cards needs a table-top to rest on and that is something they lack!
    19
  37. 31:58 Is there anyone daft enough to think that the Russian would agree to sit idly by, while NATO recovers from the debacle in Ukraine?
    18
  38. 2:22 Bojo trying to shame the British lions into an army led by Donkeys. To follow the trail blazed by Ukrainians. (And the Light Brigade!)
    18
  39. No you can't have a list of EU Values! That would be a breach of International Security! EU values are an intrinsic part of the International Rules-based Order, which as everyone knows, are not published anywhere!!
    17
  40. 11:50 the overwhelmingly important factor in the utter uselessness of trying to stop the technological advance of both China and Russia is that they both have a lot of clever and highly educated STEM graduates and their governments will fund their research.
    17
  41. It's all right, Alex, it is the type of mistake that anyone can make. In Lizz Truss's case, we all had the impression that she did not know the difference. We know that you do!
    17
  42. 33:39 I wonder if Ursula's 2nd term will be as profitable as her 1st? How is the investigation into corruption going?
    17
  43. 9:33 To me it looks like support for Zelensky's pitch to the Baltic Nations. "Give me money, or the BIg Bad Bear will come and eat you all up!"
    17
  44. Они помогли и Германии, хотя и не так сильно, как другим, которых вы упомянули.
    17
  45. 20:31 It's all like the kidnapping of Huawei's CFO, with the arrest of Julian Assange.
    16
  46. " if the the Jews downed 99 % of the missiles", since at least three targets were hit, there must have been 600 Iranian drones, cruise missiles and hypersonic missiles, so if the Israelis tried to shoot all of them down they must have fired off at least 1200 Patriot missiles or equivalents. So, since Patriot misssile cost arround $3million each, the estimate of $1.3million cost of last night's exercise must be a gross under-estimate. Alternatively, they did not shoot down all they claimed.
    16
  47. I think the point is, that the ships that were attacked in Sevastopol were mine sweepers, needed to clear the sea-lanes for the grain ships.
    16
  48. Let's hope that the people training the Ukrainian pilots can understand Texas English! Not everyone can.
    16
  49. I agree with you that the Russian invite to the Ukrainian athletes is not cynicism but, any UA who took up the offer would have to go into voluntary exile until the Elensky regime has ended.
    15
  50. 32:40 I understand that the Russian government is giving land to people who will farm it. This sounds like an opportunity for ex-Dutch farmers to me.
    15
  51. 15:24 The name of the Irish parliament is pronounced the "doil" (to rhyme with oil.)
    15
  52. 11:20 I would imagine that one thing the Chinese will certainly take away from the Ukraine war, is the necessity to build up vast stocks of weapons, particularly drones, missiles and ammunition.
    15
  53. It is already. "The air is thick with chickens coming home to roost!"
    14
  54. I think people in Germany have been jailed(?) for "liking" something pro-Russian.
    14
  55. 14:10 Ben Wallace comes from a military family. His father was a soldier. When he left his private, military-associated school he became a cadet. Eventually he became an officer and retired aged about thirty to become a politician. He has been a politician since. This explains the sort of thing he says. He has never had a "real World" job. Neither most officers nor most politicians know diddly-squat and it shows in Ben Wallace's utterances.
    14
  56. Not surprising at all! The West has been abominably cruel on many occasions in all its dealings with the poorer countries in the World. Take the Madeline Albright remarks on the 500,000 dead Iraqui children or the way Ghaddafi was killed. Just two example from an effectively endless list.
    13
  57. 34:28 Perhaps, it was Blinken's way of calling Biden a "pain in the neck"?
    13
  58. 15:03 It's not just embarassing, it's also improbable or damaging to the US, because there is supposed to be mechanisms that prevent US weapons from shooting down US aircraft. The so-called "Friend-or-foe" scheme.
    13
  59. 27:03 That game was called "Russian whispers". It was said by the teacher that during WW1 a message: "Send up reinforcements we are going to advance." got back to the HQ as: "Send up three and fourpence (3/-4d) we are going to a dance."
    12
  60. 2:25 I should think the Putin despatched the two dodgy characters who somehow poisoned the Skripals without ever going near their house. Sounds like their style.
    12
  61. 29:37 It would be a first for NATO if they actually defended someone who was attacked. Normally it is they that attack. Another point that occurs to me is that they kept saying that "any country had the right to join NATO" if they wanted to. Well, Russia applied but was turned down, by whom? I wonder. Were all the members consulted?
    12
  62. It's called "The Rules-Based International Order".
    12
  63. I recall Jay Leno showing a vox pop interview with a passer-by in some town in the US. The question asked was: "I am standing on the bank of the River Po. Which country am I in?The answer, confidently given for once was "Poland!"
    11
  64. 6:37 Hydrogen. There are a number of problems with replacing natural gas with hydrogen. Hydrogen atoms are so small that keeping it in, is much harder than keeping in methane ethane or propane or ethylene or butane or whatever the natural gas happens to be. It seeps through apparently quite solid materials. It burns much hotter than natural gas. At the very least, every German gas appliance will need its burner nozzle(s) changed. It is much lighter than air and has no smell of its own. It is also very explosive when mixed with air and it is so over a big range of concentrations. However, in its favour, it is not poisonous or corrosive. Unlike NG, condensing it into a liquid is really hard work. At atmospheric pressure, its boiling point is -259.5 degrees C or about 24 degrees above absolute zero. That's cold.
    11
  65. 15:36 Could have been an S-400, Buk, or Panzir that hit the F-16.
    11
  66. 3:49 I was watching the Duran just now, and Prof. Morandi made the point that there is a sort of stand-off between the US and Iran, in which if the US attacks Iran, their camps and oil installations, in the mostly Iran-friendly countries of the Middle East, will be destroyed, together with their battleships. He made the point that the thing to look out for, is the US moving its ships out of harm's way, not their presence in the East Med or the Persian Gulf. Their presence there, being a sort of pledge, that they are NOT going to attack Iran!
    11
  67. 23:34 In WW2 the British, to their credit, did not stop playing German music.
    11
  68.  @Србомбоница86  Не задуго, мислим. Свет се буди. Откако су Руси доказали да је НАТО тигар од папира, велики део света је поново пронашао своју храброст.
    10
  69. 5:55 Who tried to take out Trump? Who was looking after Trump? Didn't the FBI play a large part in the "Russiagate" business? Don't you think that they might think that Trump, were he to become POTUS, might be just a wee bit vengeful?
    10
  70. 6:16 "But the worst of it was: he had wholly forgotten his name! He would answer to "Hi!" or any loud cry, such as "Fry me!" or "Fritter-me-wig", to "Whatch-may-callem" or "Whatwas'isname" but especially "Thingama-jig"! "The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carrol.
    10
  71. 8:22 It was a long time ago and I don't know that it is still true, but I heard that the commonest line in a Hollywood film was "Let's get out of here!" How appropriate for Zelensky!
    10
  72. 17:22 I don't know about te intention of this move, to resctrict export of LNG, but the effect will be to further damage the German economy.
    9
  73. 0:33 "Ah! Those were the days ! My friend! We thought they'd never end!" Hard Luck, Trudeau!
    9
  74. 29:46 The Greeks did not just suffer under the N*ZIs, during WW2. After the end of the War the British, the collaborators who had supported the Germans and the German troops who had surrenders to the Allies, fought the Greek Partizans, who had fought with the British against the Germans, and having defeated them installed a group of Fascist Colonels who governed Greece until well into the 1970s.
    9
  75. 27:00 Not only are Poland, Slovakia and Hungary going to be blocking Ukraine trucks but I see headlines saying that Turkey is leaving NA*O over NA*O's attitude on Palestine!
    9
  76. Have you seen the "CRUX" video (Up today) where they say they are are "beginning to question the veracity" of the Ukrainian government and its western allies? Such perspicasity! Such analytical awareness! It makes me gasp with amazement!! Who'd a-thunk it?
    9
  77. ABC reports 9 Iranian missiles hit two targets in Israel. Three targets were hit. So $1.3 Billion looks even more unlikely. I notice that I miswrote "million" for "billion" in my original comment.
    9
  78. 35:05 It doesn't make Netanyahoo look incompetent. It makes Netanyahoo look like a plotter whose plot went out of control. A plot to get an excuse for wiping Gaza out, that triggered far more opposition than he expected and triggerd far less enthusiastic support from Biden than he expected. Acunning but badly misjudged plot.
    9
  79. A piece of advice to the MOD, if you are going to send British troops to conquer Russia, please make sure you don't sent them in standard British .Army boots! They will need Valenki! When my regiment staged its own little winter exercise, in Germany and we encountered 16 degrees C of frost, not merely did all our vehicles fail to start, but our feet froze too, to the extent that the MO said that if the CO did not call off the exercise he would resign his commision.
    8
  80. 1:48 Those things, one of which seems to be on fire, are called cooling towers.
    8
  81. 21:13 It was longer ago than 100 years. Lord Elgin bought the marbles from the Turkish authorities who were occupying Greece at the time. The British Museum say, that while the marbles which are in the British museum, are almost as they were in classical times, the ones that Lord Elgin left behind have been eroned away by air polution since, My proposal would be this : it is now possible, using modern machinery, to make very exact copies of three-dimensional objects, in easily worked materials like marble. Let the Greeks and the British governments commision such copies to be made in marble from the same quarry and then toss a coin, at a special public ceremony, to decide who goets the real thing and who gets the exact copy.
    8
  82. Havana syndrome, I always thought it was a bad batch of coke.
    8
  83. 18:00 To me it looks like a variety of "scorched Earth" policy. "You can have the Donbas, we will have the people."
    8
  84. 2:15 The whole discussion and Trumps speech is founded on a false prememise; namely the Idea that N@0 is a Defensive Alliance. It is not and it never has been. It has never "Defended" anyone or anything, It has only ever attacked, always in support of some USAmerican aggression. It is, in effect, the USA's "Foreign Legion" with these diferences from the French Foreign Legion, that the French pay 100% of the costs of theirs and they honestly admit that it is their mercenary organization dedicated to advance the interest of the French State. If Trump thinks it is not "Value for Money, well, hip hip hooray! Let's abandon it! Good riddance! It was set up to help the US to conquer Russia. That is, in any case, now obviously impossible, so it's time to wind it up.
    8
  85. 17:04 And after that, the same reatment as Ghaddafi!
    8
  86. 10:33 The US has been asked to leave by Iraq too. So they are there illegaly as well.
    7
  87. 8:32 They will "help Ukraine mitigate" the effects of cluster munitions on the civilian population, just as they have (NOT) done in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Where people, of all ages, are still losing lives and limbs to US Cluster Munitions. One of the worst things about these US cluster munitions is, that the fragments that lodge in victims bodies, are often made of plastic, which makes them almost impossible to locate with x-rays.
    7
  88. 17:05 The Economist will get more and more reliable info on World affaires from watching your videos, than they will get from the "Integrity Initiative".
    7
  89. In1955-56 In Germaany the Unit I was doing my NS in, had an exercise in Lüneberger Heide when the temperature dropped to -16 centigrade (Celcius.) All the vehicles froze up and we had to light little bofires under each of them to get them to turn over, never mind start. I made sarcastic remarks about us "defending Democracy" against the Russians, which did not go down well. Shortly after, the exercise was cancelled, because our MO threatened to resign if it were not, because he "could not guaranteed the health of the unit" under these conditions! That was the Cold War, that was. Ludicrous and all entirely pointless.
    7
  90. 21:00 But in spite of all the magical thinking, Putin can walk up stair to get into an airplane without stumbling! Clearly, the man is spell-proof!
    7
  91. 20:00 Even in Europe 8 countries are rebelling.
    7
  92. 5:15 I did read some weeks ago, that some Russian soldiers had loaded up a very old tank, with about 8 tons of explosive and set it going in the direction of a Ukrainian position. When it got right into the Ukrainian position somebody had the bad idea of blowing it up and the resulting explosion cleared everything of the ground for hundreds of metres around.
    7
  93. 13:45 Trump needs to watch you and Alexander! Oh! Yes! and Brian Beletic and Col MacGregor too.
    7
  94. The US will not like having competion from European arms manufacturers.
    7
  95. Happy Easter to you too! Alex.
    7
  96. 3:56 The West certainly did, no dispute about it, use depleted uranium weapons in Iraq.
    6
  97. 34:48 Trump chose some pretty bloody awful people to form his cabinet last time. Let's hope he doesn't do the same thing again!
    6
  98. 8:30 Not talking to the Russians but talking at them.
    6
  99. 2:04 Ohio should, as a matter of the utmost urgency, change its name to Ukraine! East Palestine should likewise change its name to Kiev.
    6
  100. 10;28 Elensky does not typically come as pills. It's more like an ointment or possible an unguent, a cream. Anyway, something slippery or slimy or oily.
    6
  101.  @hongry-life  Yes, but I am told that being pro-Palestinian is being Anti-Semitic.
    6
  102. Tortoises are called "turtles" in US English. In UK English, "turtles" is the name given to the aquatic version of tortoises. As far as I know, in the US turtles, tortoises, they are all just called "turtles".
    6
  103. 2:46 It is usually to buy land cheaply, for development.
    6
  104. 12:30 Might it be that the US is really scared of Hamas but grossly underestimated the Russians?
    6
  105. 12:01 The Empire Strikes Back! (Well, at least the colonies do.) The wars in Syria and Ukraine have shown the whole world that the Empire is no longer all-powerful, that one can stand up to it and survive and that you may find powerful friends who will work with you, if push comes to shove.
    6
  106. 5:28 Even Stoltenberg did not like the statement Baerbock issued!
    6
  107. 20:14 At a guess: Ukraine pulled out of the shipping deal because the inspecttion of incoming ships was going to be too rigerous.
    6
  108. 9:48 That sounds like Sirsky Dena*ifying Ukraine!
    6
  109. "Just peace and security can only be attained through strength" Maybe my memory is playing me, tricks but somehow that dictum reminds me very strongly, irresitably, of the sort of slogans that came out of Berlin, some 80+ years ago!
    6
  110. 36:10 "The fall of Putinis only a matter of time." Who can argue with that statement? Of course it is! The man is not immortal and has never claimed to be. The problem for the Telegraph is that it will, probably, be a rather longer time than they would like!
    6
  111. 6:27 Maybe the problem was that the figure of 100,000 was floating around as the rough figure in EU HQ and van der Lying thought that "everyone knew" that figure and did not realize that it was supposed to be secret?
    6
  112. I read some time ago that some scientific research had shown, that a random selection of people to be leaders of teams given a particular task, gave the best results! This was btw, more or less, the system in ancient Athens: selection by lot of any eligible adult willing to stand for the office. Ref. book by Thucydides "The History of the Peloponnesian War" I would add, that there are now, quite effective ways of weeding out psychopaths. Pity they are not used in modern political selections of candidates for high office!
    6
  113. 25:26 This account of the Yale Prof suggests to me, that he has been playing too many computer games and has entirely confused the World of his game and the real world. Previously, I have heard of this happening only to people aged 12 years old, or so but I suppose it is possible, in adults who grew up that way? Or perhaps, he thinks that the Pentagon is just being mean with their toys?
    6
  114. 14:31 To me there is also the implication that by Fec. 24th, Ukraine might no longer exist.
    6
  115. 20:07 IIRC shortly before Trump became POTUS, BoJo said that the did not want to go to the US, because "I might have to meet Trump!"
    6
  116. 40:00 Can the US handle war on four fronts?
    6
  117. 32:30 Every statement about politics, that comes out of a US or EU official, can be best understood as pure projection.
    5
  118. 12:30 Remember Operation Paperclip? that was an example of "Western-style De-NAZIfication". After WW2, in West Germany, the Judges were left in office and so were the school teachers, so were the police and the german army was reconstituted as "The German Service Organization". West Germany did not at first have an army, but you might have been forgiven, for thinking that the GSO was not very different from an army. It had tanks, for example.
    5
  119. 18:12 & for the 800+ bases abroad, I hope!
    5
  120. 40:39 Unless I am mistaken, the original Olympic games, were intended to bring together the athletes of the warring states, in friendly competition.
    5
  121. This is a "Democracy" to go with the "Rules Based International Order".!
    5
  122. Ursula is Macron's handler?
    5
  123. 22:22 Perhaps one could say that Ukraine is a "Virtual Democracy"*. Therefore it holds "Virtual Elections"* as a result of which, Elensky is "VirtuallyElected"* as "Virtual President"*. *Newly invented terms to cover a need.
    5
  124. 8:56 ISIS was founded by CIA.
    5
  125. Alex, have you ever read "the Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carrol? I think you would enjoy it. There are so many parallel situation in today's politics.
    5
  126. 2:45 I think it is characteristic of reactionaries that they are fixated on material things, on financial values on , gold and silver and Land, and consistently, undervalue people and ideas, but particularly "ordinary" people. As Edward III said in the film "Greatheart", "There's plenty more where they came from!"

  127. 22:33 They could knock out the spy sattelites.

  128. 21:12 This report comes from an American source. So, It could be wishful thinking. It could be an attempt to sow suspicion between Putin and Gerasimov or it could be an attempt to discredit Sy Hersh.
    5
  129. 13:57 Anyone would think that Putin had been watching you and Alexander!
    5
  130. 17:13 Very interested to hear about this book telling people that if they thought something hard enough and with sufficient faith, it would happen. I had the misfortune to go into business with someone who had this idea. It took me months to realize that this was his thinking and it nearly bankrupted both of us. I did not know of this book until just now, but it explains a lot. Twenty years ago, hmm, this happened about thirty years ago.

  131. 5:16 IIRC the Red sea project was called "Operation Prosperity Guardian".

  132. 21:40 One might also ask, when it was that NATO ever defended anything or anybody against an attack?

  133. 10:35 About the secret sauce: When I was a child, ladies who wanted to visit the bathroom, would excuse themselves with the words that they "needed to powder their nose". Just saying!

  134. Interesting video as usual. Thank you for your hard work. Nice to see Yerevan too. It looks like a really cool place to visit. Did you go there just to see the place, or are you going to interview someone?
    5
  135. 6:45 FBI and comedy. It is very noticible that there are many fewer comedy programs in e.g. the BBC than there used to be before Tony Blair. I have the impression, probably you would know better than I, that the same is true in the USA.
    5
  136. 3:35 Of course, they did it without the knowledge or help of the CIA!

  137. 21:45 $61 Billion to make matters in Ukraime worse than they already are.

  139. 30:25 Victoria Nuland, I was interested to learn yesterday, that VN, as a child/young woman frequented Ukrainian exile N*ZI camps in the wilds of the USA.
    4
  140. 23:33 It sounds a bit analogous to the action of Sakashvili. Macron should remember how vigerous the US's response to his plea for help was.

  141. 20:57 The Times of London is owned by Rupert Murdoch.

  149. It occurs to me, that at the next meeting of the shareholders of Fox News, there will be a few angry questions!
    4
  150. The whole thing makes sense if you assume that the CW and Ukraine's intel worked together to carry ou the Moscow attack. It would also explain the reply of the Chief of Ukrainian Military Intel when a reporter asked him how he felt about the Moscow events, he is reported as saying that he was "Very Happy" about them.
    4
  151. 29:06 I don't know if it does, but it should also label VOA, Radio Free Europe and DW as "State funded Media"
    4
  152. With any luck this codswallop will stimulate a wide discussion of Sy Hersh's report. The story of the hire of the boat in Rostock, the going to the pipelines (How did they find them, 90ft down?) and then just blowing them up, is so improbable that I imagine a lot of professional divers will be outraged by the story. Where did they get the explosives? I imagine that that much explosive would cost quite a lot. Ah well, now we know how much credence to give Die Zeit!

  153. 11:50 It seems that the trouble with the Kiev government is that it cannot take a hint.

  154. To my mind, the Biggest Threat to Humanity by a long way is the group of Warmongers of Washington. (WoWs)

  155. 34:30 Take heart! Quite a lot of churches in England and Europe took hundreds of years to complete. I think Milan Cathedral took more than 100 years to finish.

  158.  @olgatarasova-chelpanova1109  Right! "Where the broom does not reach, the dirt will not disappear of itself!
    4
  159. 5:03 I just want to draw attention to the hypocrisy of the US talking about the Russians "depriving the poor countries of food", while their forces, illegally in Syria, burn the Syrian's wheat fields, just before they can be harvested, "to prevent them falling into the hands of IS". (IS, which is being protected by the US.)

  160. 11:13 I wonder how the French and British militaries (Particularly the squaddies) think about Macron's plan?

  161. 3:07 A low intensity genocide?

  162. Happy victory to you too!

  163. 24@54 Odessa, Odessa! You know? These warmongers and globalist are always projecting. The allege without evidence that "Putin is trying to reconstruct the USSR". Could this be a projection of their own intention to reconstruct the British Empire? If so, the same motivation for wanting Crimea would still apply and would explain their apparent obssession with Crimea.
    3
  164. Happy Christmas to you too!
    3
  165. 1:40 It's more like a credo than an opinion piece! As I said to Alexander just now, it's reminiscient of the speech of a Crusader King to his troops on the eve of leading them into a battle against the Saracens.
    3
  166. I am surprised neither you nor Alexander has mentioned the Ben Wallace prank.

  167. 12:38 Eine Wunder-Taktik.

  168. 22:25 Another "Shock & Awe" type action. I may be wrong, but I think panicking the Russian Army is a tall order.

  169. Thanks!

  170. 4:11 In other words the US is, as usual, trying to "have its cake and eat it" too.
    3
  171. 6:56 Today, I saw a video from "DeepinMoments" which said that Germany has offered China $7 billion to reconstruct the NS pipelines.
    3
  172. 14:15 This statement by the White House that he South African allegation of Genocide by Israel is worthless and without merit, means that the thousands Palestinians who have been killed, just recently by Israel were, in the view of the USG, also worthless and without merit!
    3
  173. 37:41 There is nothing wrong with the translation! During the Cold War, Britain was prohibited, on security grounds, to export woolen bathing costumes to the USSR, because, the cunning Soviets might unpick them and use the wool to make winter uniforms for the Red Army. Not a joke, a memory. Refrigerator bulbs? Yes, no doubt you need low power light bulbs to light the instrument panels in the cockpits of fighter jets. Makes sense, doesn't it? How else would the Russians get them?

  174. Was that by any chance "Freedom for Avdiivka night"?

  175. 39:19 Wasn't Lloyd Austin in Kiev the other day? As to why Vissigrad "killed off" Gen Gerasimov, I should think it is more wishful/magical thinking.

  179. 16:42 I do hope that you are right about Tokayev!
    3
  180. ​ @davidlazarus67  Yes! With the USA and Israel, it is difficult to tell which is Tail and which Dog! I remember as a rookie soldier during my NS, my Sgt (Who had just come back from Korea.) saying: "If you fight alongside the Yanks and you come across, say, a machine-gun nest that you can't deal with yourself, you can get on your radio and call in an airstrike; but if you do, you'd better make sure you are somewhere really safe, because otherwise, you'll get flattened yourself, like everything else in the area!"
    3
  181. 26:47 The Containment Strategy" i.e more of the same, is a continuation of Magical Thinking. It is, to cion a phrase: Doing the same thing over and over again and exppecting a different result." Which is generally thought to be a sign of insanity.

  182. 16:21 Do you think any Russian tourists will be holidaying in Turkey? How about Turkstream?

  185. 21:04 All the Islamic terrorist organizations I have heard of previously, have been offshoots of the CIA. Some were funded directly by the CIA, some were funded by Saudi Arabia some by Turkey, some by Qatar, some by wealthy donors. Personally, I have not heard of ISIS-K before the events in Moscow.
    3
  186. 25:20 It seems that reactionaries are ALWAYS more interested in conquering territory than in people, even their own people. It was the same in the second WW and in the Chinese revolution. Before the Long March there was a faction in the communist side, that had this obsession with territory and it very nearly led to the defeat of the Communists. Mao argued against them, saying that lost territory could be recaptured but dead comrades could not be reanimated. He also advised that if you don't think you can win, you should avoid a fight. I think this correlates to your oft repeated "No reverse gear".
    3
  187. 23:54 The explanation of this assessment lies in the last sentences you read. He is working on info supplied by Ukrainian intelligence.

  188. 38:55 To be fair some Germans have a sense of humor. Maybe this general was being ironic or sarcastic! It could happen. I have, occasionally come across German jokes that I thought were funny.

  190. 12:07 Dual-use goods: A ham sandwich could "be of help" to a team making an atombomb. During the cold war, the British government forbade a manufacturer of woolen bathing costumes, to export them to the USSR because they might be unpicked and used to make uniforms for the Soviet Army! At the same time, Australia was happily exporting raw wool to the USSR.

  191. 3:46 How can it be that "it is a very tight race"? I mean, how can anyone regard KH as "Presidential Material"?

  193. 10:09 Probably a government of the AfD and Sahrar Wagenknecht's party could patch thing up with Russia.
    3
  194. 39:18 The English do this all the time. In fact they get comparatively few foreign place names anywhere near the pronuciation of the natives of the place named. Muenchen becomes Munich, Padova becomes Padua, Fiorenze becomes Florence and Paris changes its pronunciation from Paree to Pariss. Bruxelles goes from Bruxelles to to Brussels (The Czechs, BTW, call Nueremberg, Norimbek. and the French call Aarchen, Aix la Chapelle.)
    3
  195. 23:15 Lt Col Stewart Crawford. Another like Ben Wallace, went from school, to university to more learning and then into the /army and then into politics. Similar outlook, similar lack of contact with reality.

  196. 22:38 Anent Lord Cameron. "A prince can mak' a belted Earl, a Marquis, Duke and a' that. An honest man's aboon his might, Faith! He canna fa that!" Robert Burns. For a' that and a' that.

  198. 26:51 I think I have realised why it is that over the last few decades, I'm not sure when it began, the CW has lost all its great statesmen and stateswomen and now has only mediocraties in leading positions.. It is that promotion, in the CW, does not depend on your success in your doing your job, but simply upon your willingness to agree with your boss and to not ask embarrassing questions.
    3
  199. I wish you and Alexander a very fufilling and satifying New Year. (By the look of it, at the moment , thereis no point in wishing anyone a Peaceful New Year!)
    3
  200. 17:13 "Alexander and I" Congratulations! You are correct! Though there are not a lot of people that know that! Most British and US journalists get it wrong, all the time. Most British people leave school confused about it, though it is dead-simple. The fact that there are/were two of us in the sentence does not change the case of the pronouns! For example: "I went to the station. " "You went to the station." Therefore: "You and I went to the station, together." is correct. AND "Mother met me at the station." "Mother met you at the station." Therefore: "Mother met me and you at the station." is also correct. It's not really so difficult is it?

    3
  205. 13:04 This is the usual inversion; turning reality on its head! "We must be kind to defeated Russia and trade with them once they have been defeated," In Fact, Germany is desperate for trade with Russia and Russia is winning the war in Ukraine. A sort of text-book example.
    3
  206. "Why should Russia be the only country with such a leader." Russia isn't the only country with "such a leader". China is another. As to why the West is lacking such leaders, even one such leader, I wonder if the answer lies in JE's "Little Black Notebook." Or does the answer lie in a system, which picks its leaders from among the most conformist and almost exclusively from among the children of rich families, children, who have been to the "right" schools and the "right" universities? And that rewards failure in one job, with promotion to a more important job?

  207. 19:28 I bet that there have been Neightough troops involved since 2014.

  208. That opening was Quite Something! Do these White House inhabitants have no self-awareness at all?
    3
  209. Yes, right! They talk in sorrowful terms about the "Cultural Genocide" in Xinjiang (NB Cultural) while forcing Ukraine to commit a real suicide in this offensive.
    3
  210. This sounds very like a typical color revolution!
    3
  211. As Gonzalo Lira pointed out in a recent video, the MSM is losing money and as it is the government's principle propaganda arm, they subsidize it. so they would almost certainly memory hole the Sy Hersh story.
    3
  212. 6:28 No proof yet, that Ukraine was behind this terrorist attack but, Ukraine has been waging terrorist attacks on Donetsk City for the last ten years and more recently on Russian civilians in Kursk and Belgorod.

  214. 3:19 Depleted uranium ammunition catches fire when it hits and somewhat radioactive smoke settles on the ground around where it lands and poisons it, not for decades, but for centuries. In my view this is a war-crime, as it means that the food grown on this land is contaminated with uranium and pregnant mother will eat this food and absorb atoms od DU. A single atom of DU, decaying inside a cell is enough to cause a mutation, So, where DU ammunition has been used, as in Iraq, hideously deformed babies are born. DU is only mildly radioactive so it has a very long half-life. It is a disgusting weapon and I am very ashamed that it is a British government which is sending this revolting weapon to be used.

  215. 32:05 Probably, the notoriuous, sneaky, Russian-owned, Putin-propaganda site called : "The Duran".

  217. 21:15 There are approimately 1 billion Europeans. $50 billion is there fore approximately $50.00 per European man, woman and child. Generous? Huh? Considering that some of the are homeless.

  218. Yeah! Never mind the ostensible meaning of a statement by a USAmerican official. The important part, is to be found in the "nuance"!
    2
  219. 18:21 Elensky should go as Dictator of Ukraine.
    2
  220. I think this is propaganda based on the belief that most people will not bother to look up Putin's speech but will infer from Blinken (etc.)'s remarks that Putin was threatening to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. It could also be projection: "We would, therefore, they will." It is typical of the propaganda of the Collective West, that they make things up and then treat them as facts and go on to reinforce the idea that they are real, by talking all round them. E.g. "Putin's Price Hike", "Russia's refusal to supply Europe with Gas".

  222.  @judyyee4163  The mining dust will be a lot lighter than uranium oxide, being mostly silicon dioxide and coal dust, but yes, some uranium oxide dust, no doubt, will be blown further afield.
    2
  223. 28:11 This operation involving "Anti-Putin Russians" fighting on behalf of F*scist Ukraine, reminds me of the Anti-Castro Cubans attacking Cuba in the Bay of Pigs operation. The Pentagon is a beacon of stability in a rapidly changing, chaotic World! It's nice to know there are some things one can rely on.
    2
  224. 12:35 I have read about solar powered drones like that.
    2
  225. End. I bet the Brazilians know how many beans make five beans!
    2
  226. It is, of course possible, though extremely unlikely, that a Patriot missile collided accident-tally with a Kinjal missile, just as it is not completely impossible, that a woman who threw a tin of tomatoes at a Russian cruise missile hit it. This does not mean, however, that the Patriot system is going to be a useful defense against Kinjal missiles, it won't be, Nor that the Ukrainian anti-aircraft force should invest in a supply of canned tomatoes!
    2
  227. 7:13 You don't seem to understand, Alex. The SPD is proposing a ban on the populist AfD to SAVE DEMOCRACY!

  228. All that Putin is saying simply that "Two can play at that game!" "Nuke us and you will be nuked back."
    2
  229. 20:56 Your description of Georgia, is almost like a scene from a novel writen by Lewis Carrol called "Sylvi and Bruno" where there is a street demonstration, with people more or less violently petitioning the government demanding: "Less bread and more taxes!"
    2
  230. This attack on civilians to try to intimidate people into not resisting, is absolutely typical behaviour of reactionaries. In WW2 The Germans did it, the Japanese did it, the Baderarites did it, The Nationalist Chinese did it, so, come to that, did the US and Britain. Vide Dresden, Hamburg, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It never worked. Even Hiroshima and Nagasaki cannot be cited as proof that it sometimes works as the Japanese were already putting out peace-feelers before that was done. In the Korean war the US boasted that "Not a stone was left on top of another in North Korea." But it did not win them the war.
    2
  231. 9:54 Ukraine's military was also battle hardened, after fighting the LPR and DPR for eight years, which no other EU country's military was on 24/2/22.
    2
  232. 32:20 It is an interesting admission by Aristovitch that Ukraine's policies are NOT decided in Kiev.
    2
  233. 23:10 I think Putin is a bit like the Mills of God, which, as you probably know, "grind slow, but grind exceeding small."

  234. 19:34 Did I read, or did I imagine it, that Schwab's bank is going belly-up?

  235. 24:06 IIRC when George Orwell was working for the BBC, MI6 had an office in the Shepherds' Bush BBC building, Was it "Room 101?".
    2
  236. 24:27 The CW also stole Venezuela's gold reserve, that were deposited with the Bank of England, and gave them to Juan Guaido!
    2
  237.  @Khayyam-vg9fw  There is a reason for that. Leaders in the Collective West are selected for their wealth, their ability to sound encouraging , their ability to "talk the talk", their friends, their university, their parents, their good looks even, . . . . All sorts of reasons, not for their proven ability. And IT SHOWS!
    2
  238. I have heard that "1984" was based not on the USSR but on his time working in the BBC!
    2
  239. 25:20 Do you think that Ursula, Anthony, Jake, Josep and Joe would recognise the Truth if it bit them on the backside?
    2
  240. $200 billion Would be a drop in the bucket.
    2
  241. 0:37 Body double?
    2
  242. 31:47 I think reactionaries always see wars in terms of territory lost or gained, To them Land = Money. Money is Important and people are not.
    2
  243. 14:34 For "Chaos" read "Exit from wars".
    2
  244.  @hadhkamusa740  Thanks.
    2
  245. Where, I wonder, is a de-indusrtialized Europe going to get the money to pay for this "Indian", "Chinese" or "USAmerican" oil? Perhaps they can develop Ursula's piracy idea into piracy on the high seas? No trouble getting arms they can buy them from Elensky! Government Sponsored Piracy has paid well at times in the past. (E.g. 1560 - 1603.) We have nuclear powered submarines now.
    2
  246. I heard that the 14th sanctions package is a response to a begging .letter from Putin to Ursula
    2
  247. 20:40 It seems quite likely that Ursula is an existential threat! Oh! &BTW, was there ever any investigation of her deal with Big Pharma? You know, the purchase of 9 billion Euro's (Was it?) worth of "vaccines"? After the pandemic was largely over.
    2
  248. 2:33 As I said yesterday, depleted uranium weapons pollute the environment with radioactivity but that is only half the story! The other half is, that Ukraine is the "Breadbasket of Europe" and unless Europe is going to stop eating Ukrainian food all Europe is in danger from these weapons.
    2
  249. 10:15 IIRC, Starlink was used by the Ukrainian military for communication between the battlefields and the HQ. Then Musk asked for payment and did not get it (?) and turned off the link. AFAIK Starlink did not provide guidance systems.
    2
  250. 19:28 OMG! Doesm't that make the US stupid for pissing off the Chinese!? I mean, if the US had been just a little bit more careful over Taiwan, Huawei and TikTok, maybe the Chinese would have supported the Russians less or not at all and Zelensky would have won last summer!
    2
  251. 29:09 Dominic Cummins for PM?
    2
  252. 13;40 Exactly right! They are worried that the alternative narrative sounds more convincing than the BS the CW MSM pumps out. Worse wait a little while and you can see that the alternative media corresponds to the facts on the ground. E.g. " The Russians are losing, losing, losing.." Fact: the Russians are occupying 20% of Ukraine. "The Russian economy is in tatters!" Fact. The rouble is where it was against the dollar. before the war.
    2
  253.  @freedom4639  Yes, there are other resemblances too. An ancestor of mine, who though a protestant clergyman, because he dared to campaign for civil rights for Catholics, was hanged for it.
    2
  254.  @Skanzool  & so?
    2
  255. I think the British ministers, generals and newspapermen (Correction!) Newspaperpersons, can give then a good run for the money! If anything, the British hypocrits are a wee bit more polished!
    2
  256. 1030 Not so much "Incredible" as "Discreditable".
    2
  257. 38:42 The River Seine. The English word which most nearly resembles it, is "sane". (Oppiste to "insane".)
    2
  258. 14:24 I am sure you feel that you have "your work cut out" with Ukraine and the other things that you cover, but please take a look at the WHO's extremely alarming Power Grab. It needs airing and if you don't do it, who will? Dr John Campbell has made a start on it but it needs all the publicity it can be given.
    2
  259. 21:14 Can you imagine the joy in the US MIC to hear that Europe is going to be big in the Arms trade? Can you also see where Europe is going to get the fuel to drive this industry? To me this enterprise sounds like another flight of fancy. Are the Russians, having de-militarised Ukraine and the CW, going to sit and watch while the West builds up a new improved, deadlier version of its previous self? Really? Pardon my skeptical nature, but I have to say: I doubt it!
    2
  260. I think one can see just how dumb the idea of seizing the 4£00million is by asking "Would you accept a Russian donation, to the CW, if the condition on which it was made, was the destruction of any trust in the dollar as a store of value?"
    2
  261. 25:32 I think I am right in believing, that the largest manufacturer of washing machines in the World is HAIER, a Chinese company.
    2
  262. Palpable = can be felt. Palatable = tasty, easy to eat.
    2
  263. 36:31 With electronic warfare tools, it is possible to create virtual missiles (I believe the Kinzhal missile create six "simulacra" of itself as it homes in on its target.) So, perhaps, this missile was not "real" at all!
    2
  264. Russian, Chinese or Iranian ships would be OK, I imagine.
    2
  265. Don't forget Venezuela!
    2
  266. I forgot 29:33.
    2
  267. 34:10 This is no surprise at all. Hamas was set up by the Israeli intelligence, to discredit the Palestinian cause. So it is "controlled oposition". Naturally they would plan their operations with their handlers and naturally any "warning" of forthcoming "surprises" would be unwelcome news - to be suppressed.

  268. In 2000 I bought a packet of Soda bicarb and out of idle curiosity I looked to see the "Use By" date. I was amused to see "Best use by June 3002"

  269. 28:50 Don't forget that it was not just Biden! He has such a wonderful support-team! First of all his VP Kamala Harris! Then the master Diplomat Anthony Blinken who has just charmed the whole of the Middle East and crushed (Crushed, I say.) the Chinese FM Wang Yi. And Jake Sullivan and Admiral Kirby the Man who will, given the chance, sweep the seas of the wretched Chinese Navy, which being run by the Army hasn't a clue at sea!
    2
  270. 19:09 Of course one has to excuse the Western planners for this tragic mistake, for who could have foreseen that the Chinese, the Iranians and the North Koreans, after all the kindness and understanding that the US has shown them, would treacherously turn on the US and aid the Russians against the Ukrainians? Talk about "biting the hand that fed them"!!
    2
  271. 28:31 I may be wrong, but I think you will find that nobody can fix up the Ukrainian power grid, without the cooperation of China. Why do I say this? Because the only country that currently makes high-power transformers is China. Before the SMO, I remember an American (US) writer complaining that after the Californian wildfires, the power company was having trouble replacing the transformers destroyed by the fires, as the only source of supply, the only people that made them, was China and there was a 13month delay, between placing an order and taking delivery.

  272. "Wolf Blitzer" This name sound to me like something out of WW2 Germany. (If yer no wot I meen sorta thing like!)
    2
  273. 9:58 Have these criminal idiots really been using DU ammo in Britain? In their own country? Whatever one may think of the morality and cost-benefit analysis, of supplying it to the Ukrainians, to use on the Russians, in the "breadbasket of Europe", (and for all sorts of reasons I think it is criminal insanity) using it in your own country strikes me as actionable treason. Perhaps some lawyer can tell me if it isn't? And if not, why not?
    2
  274. 26:40 You are asking very relevant questions. How are they going to be supplied? How long are their arms going to last? Are they prepared to face the condition on the front line facing the Russians? How are "the old folks at home" going to take having their menfollk being thrown into this battle?

  275. NEWSMAX a prime example of the reliability of the MSM.

  278. 44:08 Can you wonder that the British army is "at an all-time low"? The idiot warmongers in Britain are threatening to send them to fight the Russian! Bah Gar! If I were in the British army I would not hesitate for a moment to get my papers in quick!

  279. 43:16 The point is that Rizz is no substitue for ability. It may be charming. It may attract attention, but when it comes to intelligent reaction to events and far-sighted planning it doesn't cut the mustard. There is no substitutte for intelligence (Both senses of the ward.) and rizz is not it.

  280. The remarks by Trump threatening the European countries with "The Putin" is like a parent or baby sitter threatening a recalcitrant child with the "Bogey-man" coming to get them! (Ooh er! "If the Bogey-Man comes to get you, I shall not stop him! I'll tell him: "Take this naughty child away and do whatever you like with him! I just don't care!" ) Trump does not control Putin and anyway, N@0 is not a defensive alliance as is shown by its record. It has never defended even a single one of its members (None of them was ever attacked or threatened with attack) N@0 has only ever attacked other countries and always to assist the US in doing so. It is an AGGRESIVE, NOT A DEFENSIVE ALLIANCE! A sort of US Foreign Legion, where the Legoinaires, or at least their own taxpayers, pay their own salaries!

    2
  283. The reason why the "Problem" could not be solved peacefully, was that it was not "The" problem, it was a means to an end. That end, was destabilising the Russian government and causing a Regime Change in Moscow, leading to a Navalny government and the subsequent looting of Russia, a la 1990s.

    2
  285. 10:06 Could well be! If I were commanding the Russian troops, why would I bother to defend the second line with more than a couple of men sitting behind a pick-up truck, when the Ukrainians have , so far, failed to reach the first? If and when they start attacking the first, it might be time to send troops to defend the second.

  290. 9:59 At a guess, Cavoli gets all hisinformation direct from the Ukrainian Intelligence Service. Possibly via the British Ministry of Defence. Well known for the quality of the info they supply!

  291. This a continuation of the crass stupidity during the Cold War, when Britain was not allowed to export woolen bathing costumes to Russia, as wool has a dual use. Yes. Wool can also be used to make army uniforms! The idiocy was further confounded because at the same time Australia was selling lots of wool to Russia.

  292.  @wyliamulayye7534  Note the dates! "Obama signed an executive order on 29 Jan 2009 to close Gitmo. " And it stayed working until "Trump signed an executive order to keep Gitmo opened on 30 Jan 2018." So, are all US Presidents just figureheads or are they all just Bullsh*tters?

  293. Does the British PM have the authority to initiate a nuclear war? Really? That much independence of Washington DC?

  294. 32:00 During my NS, I served with soldiers who had just come back from Korea. They told me that on their way towards the battle front they were told "You've not got much to worry about , the Chinks and Slants have no real artillery!" "It was true too! In a manner of speaking, they had very little artillery, BUT, B*gger! You should have SEENkjjj the ROCKETS they had!!"
    2
  295. 28:52 Condering that the US is said to have sent $300 billion to Ukraine and various people have said that the US has spent only 3% of its military budget on Ukraine; If we put these two figures together and we assume they are true, we can, calculate that the REAL US WAR CHEST is $10 Trillion! Which is just a bit more than is usually claimed! Where did it all go?

  298. 14:48 Mao pointed out in the middle of the Chinese revolution, some time in the 1930s I think it was, that all the sucessful revolutions in Chinese history (There have been a good many of them.) have involved an alliance between the peasants and the intellectuals. The European farmers are riled up, but where are the intellectuals?

  299. 12:07 There is no real mystery about where the CIA got the info about the NS Sabotage. They got it from the same place the Irish Central Banker got the figure of the losses that he gave the Irish Government: "I just pulled it out of my *rse!"

  300. Основная проблема в том, что есть люди, владеющие акциями производителей оружия и получающие большие прибыли. Поскольку они очень богаты, они также и очень могущественны. Пока существует такая ситуация, в мире никогда не будет мира, потому что они наживаются на войнах, угрозах войн и слухах о войнах. Я надеюсь, что когда Коллективный Запад потерпит решительное поражение на Украине (что вполне вероятно и произойдет), русские введут закон, запрещающий кому-либо владеть акциями производителя оружия. Я думаю, что такое условие было бы лучше и легче реализовать и обеспечить, чем полное разоружение, потому что большинство правительств не нуждаются или не хотят войн, которые являются дорогостоящими и непопулярными.
    2
  301. 29:10 The Baluchistan Front (Devoted to liberating Baluchistan from Pakistan and China) is either a CIA construct or at least closely connected to the CIA. Its main purpose in life, seems to be to disrupt the building of the China - Pakistan Economic Corridor, CPEC. A very important project, allowing trade to flow easily from the Indian Ocean into China and allowing Pakistan to develop the backward province of Baluchistan. (A part of the BRI.)

  302. The man who never made a mistake, never made anything.

  303. 6:07 I think you are right that this attempt to re-write history is a reaction to losing in Ukraine. The Russians might tell the World in retaliation that the Manhattan Project leader was Major General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers who wanted the A-bomb, not so much to deter the axis powers if they got one, but to use it to defeat the Soviet Union.

  304. 21:12 If the grain is not fit for human consumption by reason of pesticides etc., then it is not fit to feed animals producing meat and/or milk, as they will concentrate these chemicals, so that their meat, milk etc. is even more contaminated than the grain was.

  307. 35:48 Note that the only "benefit" to Washington is that it puts it in a better position to defeat Russia. There is no other benefit that can be adduced from this.
    2
  308. You obviously don't understand the dangers of this! This Putin fella is so cunning and the American public is so innocent and do unused to dealing with sinister, shady characters like Putin, that they will be swept away by his sneaky rhetoric and it will be months of work for the real news outlets to repair the damage!
    2
  309. 21:21 It is even worse than you say! The US, I read, is still buying Russian oil, directly from Russia. How long before they sell some of it to Europe? Another story; last year, the Chinese bought a long-term contract with US suppliers for LNG. At the moment, they have enough gas from Russia to not need this LNG from the US companies, so they have agreed to the Americans selling this gas to the Europeans, for them, at US prices! ( I can't give references, but I am not making this up, it's just that I am bad at taking notes when I read these things.)

  315. 9:55 I don't understand. If the Russian bonds reach maturity, how can a European bank get the Russians to pay up? Maybe it is just my ignorance of financial matters, but I thought that Bonds were loans to a goverment. Perhaps you or one of your commentators can explain it to me?

  316. 11:00 "Arguments in the Kremlin" Sounds like projection.

  320. "Drinking to defeat Putin". Sounds as though they have tried everything else and none of it worked, so why not?! You never know.
    2
  321. Why does the CW always demand that people choose either them or the "other side"? Because their real aim is always total world domination; but except in their own circles and the "Foreign Policy" magazines they publish for their own circle they don't say this out loud. Anyone that is not committed to this aim is of course, an obstacle - "against us".
    2
  322. 28:10 Those look like silver birch to me.

  323. 26:00 It is clear that the US ambassador views himself as not so much an ambassador as a gauleiter.

  324. 27:12 It seems to me that the only place that Elensky will be "relatively" safe, after the sh**show ends, will be in Israel, Assuming there still is an Israel!
    2
  325. There ARE NO BIG BRAINS in the government of the CW. They are a bunch of mediocre brains. "Well, educated" in some of the finest schools and universities, no doubt, but evidently selected for their willingness to obey orders rather than original, joined-up thinking.

  326. 24:41 Half a million people needs $13.5 million dollars? that's $26.00 each? Huh! Cheap at half the price!

  327. In the 1970s there was a surrealist poet whose name I, unfortunately forget. He wrote a poem that seems appropriate to Elensky: it ended with the words: "Don't hope. Take dope. Give up."
    2
  328. 2:49 I understand that the reason the USS Ford is returning to the US, is that some time ago, the bean-counters in the Pentagon, scrapped the Naval Tenders that used to supply ships, when they were away from the US. Now, they no longer exist and so, the ships that run out of supplies they need to function, have to go home to restock!
    2
  329. Comedian Head of State talking about money: remember that in Russian (and I would guess in Ukrainian as well) money is Plural. I.e. he would talk about wanting "moneys", not "money".
    2
  330. 4:17 A little bird tellls me, that Navalny was the illegitimate son of Yeltsin. Is this why the CW had such high expectations of him? Like father like son? (I have no idea if thie bird is right.)

  333. 21:00 How come the Ukrainians have not got a surplus of tanks? Well, they have, the problem is that most of them are BLRs. (Aka beyond local repair.) They even have enough to export some to the EU!

  334. 18:52 If you can't win in reality, you just win in the fantasy world (where it is much easier!) Pretend long enough and it will come true! Or, peoples' attention can be directed elsewhere.

  335. 14:17 Like Theresa May, they don't need to know. It is "Highly Likely"! And that should be good enough for anyone.

  339. 35:05 Talking of freedom and democracy and TikTok bans reminds me that I saw this morning that in Britain (England?) cat owners have a few days to get their cats chipped or they face a fine of £500 if their pet is more than 20 weeks old and unchipped! I wonder did parliament debate this or is it simply a ministerial diktat?

  340. 26:25 I read some time ago that the aquatic creatures that live in the River Thames are suffering from Cocaine poisoning.

  341. Earlier today I read a (I think) Russian blogger ("Latest News") who alleged that the increase in radioactivity in central Ukraine after the Russians blew up that huge ammunition dump, was not caused by destroyed DU ammunition but by destroyed mini-nukes.

  342. 10:49 This "Wish fulfillment stategy". If you believe something hard enough it WILL come true!
    2
  343. Yes it's a possibility.
    2
  344. 14:48 Is Timoshenko by any chance a descendant of the General Timoshenko that fought the Germans in the WW2? My family had a cat named after him, because he (the cat) helped us clear out the rats, that invaded our house when a government - owned granary nearby was bombed.
    2
  345. "The Mirror" is and always has been a rag. I think it is owned by Rupert Murdoch, it is certainly his style. Probably only "The Sunday Sport" is a less reliable source of information.

    2
  348. 26:12 Do these Biden WH officials think that Russia is going to wait, while they work out a stategic plan for victory? Or is it that they think the US public is so thick, that they will not see this as a propaganda ploy?

  358. 9:00 Fighting with less; It is almost as though they have taken inspiration from the Black Knight who barred the way to King Arthur, in the Monty Python sketch. Having lost both his arms and legs in the battle he shouts "Come back, and I'll bite yer legs off!!"

  359. 4:40 I agree with you, Alex, CIA guesses about Iran's future actions are not worth diddly squat!

  362. If Erdogan said he knew how to get that pot of gold that the faries deposited at the end of the rainbow, would you pay him, in advance, for the information?
    2
  363. 21:39 No doubt you are right to doubt that the Iranian government is stupid enough to want WW3 to stop the rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Israel, but ask yourself "Who is it that really, really likes chaos? Who is it that has consistently created Chaos, all over the globe?" The answer is obvious.
    1
  364. 31:08 "Human Rights" Just like the rules of the "Rules-Based Order", are nowhere written down and are exactly defined by US! As and when and how we see fit. So stop mocking the ever-so Democratic Elensky!
    1
  365. It is not that Europe does not know how to fight. There are a number of factors that makes Europe find itself in a position where it is not prepared to fight. For a start the European arms industry has been bought up and closed down by their US competittors. For the last 76-77 years there has been no real threat of a war in Europe except the one started by and largely waged by, the US in Yugoslavia. Another thing is, that the European arms industry is almost entirely privately owned, which means it is run by accountants. So, because there was very little demand for e.g. 155mm shells, the people who made them were mostly sacked and the machines that they were made on, were scrapped as "Stagnant Capital" and a "waste of space." Also, because of "Just-in-time -working" there are no stocks of arms. These too, would be regarded by an accountant as both "Stagnant Capital" and a "waste of space" Because there was no real threat, young men were mostly looking for careers or livings more comfortable than the one typically enjoyed by a soldier or sailor or even an Airman. Without a real,live threat, who wants a life of being ordered around? Some do, but not that many.

  371. No, I don't think the response to the question on troop losses was wrong, had he been a western spokesman he would have tried to spin it, but being who he is he didn't. What he said was factual. Neither upbeat nor downbeat. Your point about the undesirability of taking interviews with the MSM, however, is right.

  376. 31:36 This is the second time that this manifestation of the "British detterence" (Using a US made missile!) has failed. IIRC the last time, off the East coast of the US, the Trident missile went in the wrong direction! OOPS! Fortunately, in both cases the missiles had dummy warheads. In all probability, in the case of WW3, it would make no difference at all, which way the missile went. If it went.

  389. 14:05 I nearly had a loan like that once! A long time ago, I had a large credit card debt. And I thought the interest rate charged by the bank would be less than the rate charged by the credit card company. So, I asked the bank manager for the loan and he said; "I can give it to you, if you pledge your house as security." I replied that my wife would not agree to borrow money from them, unless it was an unsecured loan." To my surprise, after a few minutes thought, he smiled and agreed to lend me the money! (@6%, if I remember correctly.)

  416. 14:20 Having a whole Ukraine was never a priority. As you and anyone who regularly watches this channel, the aim was to get rid of Putin, to collapse the Russian economy, to have a regime change in Moscow and to break up and colonize Russia.

  418. 7:14 The answer is simple. No one is threatening to attack the US or the CW, come to that! They can give Ukraine ALL their weapons and while they might feel a bit exposed, I doubt that anyone would attack them. I mean, think about it. It would be a BIG OPERATION! and no one is preparing such an op. If they were I am sure that you or Alexander would have heard about it!

  419. 11:45 These mafiotic tactics were, no doubt inspired by their Washington masters. They shed an interesting side light on the "unanimety" rule! Everyone in the EU has a veto! (If you dare to use it, look out. We know where you and your family live.)"

  427. The effort to put NATO into Ukraine is part of an effort to keep the USA as the World's Hegemon. It was part of an effort to be able, credibly to threaten Russia with a decapitation strike. The ruling class of the West is OK with this effort, or if they are not, they go along with it, probably because they dare not oppose it. The weakening of Europe is part of the same effort to keep the USA as the pre-eminent country; economically, militarily, politically. Probably, with the US economy being in economic decline, the rulers in WDC decided that it would not "do" to have Europe more prosperous & economically stronger than the US. Many years ago, an old woman who had been a servant in the house of the Chairman of the local Conservative Party, told me how at meetings in this house she had heard in 1947, discussions on how to roll back the measures of "Socialization" introduced by the Attlee government. "They were really keen" she said "to get back to a situation where they could hire a servant for half-a-crown a week." ("Half-a-crown" or one eighth of a pound sterling, was about a fortieth of a living wage at the time.) Our rulers are not discussing amending the economic situation of ordinary people because they "are too busy sticking it to Putin". They are not discussing it, because they are quite happy with the situation of ordinary people, for whom they have hatred and contempt.

  429. 26:14 The propagandistas of the CW do not need any "original" statement to embroider. They frequently make up "Threats", statements, accusations out of whole cloth (much as they make up currency!). For example, the "Threat" by Iran to nuke Israel.

  434. 2:47 In spite of the "Conventional medical opinion" that there is no cure for age related dementia, there is an alternative view that Alzheimer's disease is, in fact, diabetes type 3 (I.e. diabetes of the of the brain). And is caused like DT2 by insulin insensitivity, which is to say that the brain has had so much insulin over a long time, that it has developed an insensitivity to insulin and the result is, that the brain cannot make use of the glucose in the blood, to provide energy for thinkng. However, since the brain can also function on ketones, which are derived from fat, if you stop eating foods which produce blood glucose, such as sugars and starches, and substitute fats such as lard, tallow, mutton fat, coconut oil you can reduce the insulin in the blood and the brain will then work normally, but running on ketones instead of glucose. There are several accounts of this in the internet, with people claiming to have cured their relatives' Alzheimer's disease in this way. I wonder if this is being tried on JB?

  435. 8:32 Maybe, the cheapest solution is to ring up Putin and ask him how much he would be willing to pay for Ukraine "as it stands"? I mean, it woul save lives, both Russian and Ukraine and it would save the Collective West untold $billions, perhaps, $trillions.

  445. 30:22 Whichever way you look at it, the US is financing this war. Biden/Blinken issues a feeble "Please,pretty please stop this war it is damaging out reputation!" And the Israelis ignore them. So who is in command of whom? Isn't it time for AIPAC to register as a foreign agent?

  450. 27:27 I think you are attributing too much "joined-up" thinking to the White House. OPEC+ is pushing up oil prices. Ukraine is damaging some Russian oil installations, which will tend to cut the supply of Russian oil to the world market slightly and will tend to push oil prices higher. Higher Oil prices mean higheer prices at the pump, which, in an election year, is a Bad Move! Therefore, Stop hitting Russian Oil!!

  451. At least some of The Elite, not merely despise the ordinary people but actively hates them. As a Nationalserviceman, I spent some time talking with Army, young, junior officers, who seemed to come mainly from the landed gentry, and I was rather surprised to find how closely they mirrored their cartoon counterparts. In particular, I was surprised to see with what contempt they regarded the private soldiers under their command.

  454. 10:58 Ooh! Scary!That should frighten the Ruskies! I should think the Security guarantees would be about as useful as the pledge to give Ukraine enough heavy weaponry to decisively defeat Russia "for as long as it takes." There is a phrase for this sort of pledge "on the tip of my tongue" but I can't at the moment find it.
    1
  455. 5:43 It is no surprise to me, that the NYT does not mention casualties, but focuses on losses of equipment. This is characteristic of Reactionaries. They are always focused on losses of money and things. these are valuable. The casualties are just people and not even American people at that! Who's bothered about them?

  456. Why the absence of Liz Truss? Why no Vicky Nuland?

    1
  465. 26:33 You can't kid me that they are not trying all the time! After all, they tried to kill Fidel 600 times. So why would they not be trying to off Putin and come to that, Xi Jinping as well? I mean to say, if they are trying to off Trump, as they apparently are, does anyone believe that they are not always looking for a way to get Putin? Seems improbable. The other aspect to this is: Who would replace Putin? Would they like that?
    1
  466. I think that the misnamed Cleverly, is implying that if we don't give lots of money to Elensky, the dreadful Putin will win and that will be worse than anything that might happen as a result of "just" going broke. So. Turn out your pockets, Lads!

  468. 6:54 The conflict in Israel will, however, play into the Russians' aim in that it will speed up the de-militarization of the CW. Perhaps to an even lower level than the Ukraine war would have done.

  469. I think "The Breadbasket of Europe" comes from the past. Russia has not been a great exporter of food until quite recently. I think if you can find the statistics you will see that Russian agriculture has grown enormously since 2014. IIRC until then, maybe even later that that, Russia had been a net importer of food. I read also that in spite of exporting quite a lot of food, Russia also still imports quite a lot though not from the CW. It looks as though the title "Breadbasket of Europe" could have come from the WEF. They say: "Ukraine is one of the world's top exporters of staple grains." Further on they say: "Often called the breadbasket of Europe, Ukraine boasts roughly 42 million hectares of agricultural land and is home to vast quantities of black “chernozem” soil, which is highly fertile."

  508.  @kateoneal4215  " Depleted uranium (DU; also referred to in the past as Q-metal, depletalloy or D-38) is uranium with a lower content of the fissile isotope 235 U than natural uranium.[2] Natural uranium contains about 0.72% 235 U , while the DU used by the U.S. Department of Defense contains 0.3% 235 U or less. The less radioactive and non-fissile 238 U constitutes the main component of depleted uranium." As you can see from the above quotation from Wikipedia, DU is not a pure substance. I.e. it contains some more radioactive components than the U238 that makes up the bulk of it. It is this part which causes most of the trouble.

That they make such self-defeating decisions is harder to explain, but I think a lot of them must have been compromised by J. Epstein and his girlfriend (aka Mossad). That pair must have been up to something and so far, almost nothing has come out.

  531. As Sherlock Holmes explained if you have exhausted all the rational explanations you have to start considering the apparently irrational explanations. It seems to me that there are no rational explanations for the policies pursued by the leaders of the West. As it is clear that the "Unohus" exert an enormous influence on the leaders of nearly all western leaders (particularly the US ones) and are clearly not opposing, but even "quietly" encouraging them in the idiotic policies they are following, it follows that these policies are (must be) the policies of the said Unohus. Why would Western leaders, almost without exception, follow these policies as they do, even though they are evidently inimical to the interests of their own countries? As far as I can see, there are very few possible (plausible) explanations. The only one that I can think of, is widespread blackmail, which brings the affaire of J.E and his sidekick G.M. to mind. I agree it seems far-fetched, but does anyone have a better suggestion?

  532. 26:35 The Chinese have a new fire-fighting amphibious plane called iirc "A600" which has a huge water carrying capacity. It might be "politically easier" to get it from China than from Russia.

  533. So why are these biolabs financed by not the NIH but by DARPA? AND why was Victoria F.T.E.U. Nuland afraid that the Russians might get their hands on the material that they were working on?

  534. 37:21 Do you suppose that if they renamed Avdiivka, Prage that the US Congress and the other leaders of N@0 would see through the deception?

  535. 29:03 Why doesn't NATO invade Russia when they would only have to deal with 3% of the Russian Army? Three possibilities: 1) 3% is more than they care to confront. 2) They have Ben Wallace's understanding of mathematics and they do not realize that 3% is a very small fraction. Or: 3) that 1-97% = 3%?

  536. It occurs to me that I have had a few friends who were actors and one characteristic they all shared, was that they were not interested in politics. Zelensky and most of his crew, were also theatrical professionals in their previous lives. Maybe they did not know the tragic history of previous US puppet rulers?

  537. Do be careful Alex when you are walking and reading at the same time! It is very easy to walk into something. I know, I have done just that! It can be painful, believe me.

  538. 24:42 I should think it is just within the bounds of human stupidity that Ursular van der Lying and Macaroon believed that the US would not do the dirty on its European allies. "I mean, we're white! They wouldn't treat us like that! Would they?"
    1
  539. 13:47 That's the Plan and it is a Plan worthy of IS/ISIL. It is a plan to hurt civilians to get them to turn on Putin. It won't work any more than fire-bombing Hamburg and Dresden persuaded the Germans to turn on Hitler or the Blitz on London, Liverpool, Belfast, etc., got the British to turn on Churchill. It seems that the CW's military is suffering the same lack of competent strategists as the CW political scene. It seems that none of them can see beyond the end of their nose.

  540. English, French, German, Polish, Dutch, Hebrew?

  541. 16:43 Just imagine! If this was planned by Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, it must have been over weeks and in all that time and all the communications that would entail, no one leaked anything to any of the Israeli secret services nor was anything picked up by any of the 17 US secret services. Hardly seems possible does it?

  545. 10:37 " Analyses" is the word you were searching for. Anyway! Congratulations! You and we have acheived a sort of, no! a not sort of, an Important Victory! We/you have got the idea of the "Sunk Cost Fallacy" as it relates to the Ukraine Disaster out into the Wider World.! That is a truimph. Quite an important milestone. The truth is breaking through the blanket of lies and misrepresentation that the MSM have tried to hide it with. I see that you have 193,000 subscribers. Let's all try to push that up further.

  546. 11:55 Biden, like the rest of the USG, does not care about anybody, not even the citizens of their own country.
    1
  547. 34:44 In a sense, in an oblique sort of way, Matt Gatz's decision not to prosecute Biden, is a plus point for Trump!

  548. 7:46 Del Toro? Does he, by any chance produce "Caca del toro?" I expect it is a job requirement.

  554. 26:12 Does this ban on "helping fund Russia's war machine" extend to buying Russian oil form India? To the US's purchase of Uranium from Rosatom? To Japan's buying oil from Sakhalin? Are they going to sanction Hungary, Turkey?
    1
  555. 15:58 "How is the UK going to fight these countries?" Sactions? I read that the UK is thinking about starting to make gun barrels again. So there!

  556.  @vumba1331  Yes! Thanks.

  557. If congress gives Elensky $61 billion and the Russians still win, they will say it is because Congress went on holiday for 14 days and the money arrived too late. Then they will give the MSM their orders and no one will hear about it again.

  558. 17:54 This talk of "We cannot allow Russsia to win this war" Remids me of the old schoolboy reply to threats: "Oh! Yeah? You and whose army?"

  561. 36:24 I would bet that big commercial interests, such as the Big Pharmaceutical Companies, also wanted people "shadow banned".
    1
  562. 28:35 It would have been a fully armed and trained Ukrainian army backed up by the full power of NATO, not at all like today when NATO looks like a half-spent force and Ukraine is on the brink of collapse. (Practically the only dogs in NATO left barking, are Ben Wallace and Elensky.)
    1
  563. 6:50 Russia's military has been 50% destroyed and yet, and yet, they can't do diddly squat about getting it to admit it or leave Ukraine!
    1
  564.  @sebastianwurtz5294  The main problem is that there are people who own shares in armament-manufacturers and make large profits. Because they are very rich, they are also very powerful. As long as this situation exists, there will never be peace in the world because they profit from wars, threats of wars and rumors of wars. I hope that when the Collective West is decisively defeated in Ukraine (which seems likely to happen), the Russians will introduce a law prohibiting anyone from owning shares in a weapons manufacturer. I think such a condition would be better and easier to implement and enforce than complete disarmament, because most governments do not need or want wars that are costly and unpopular.
    1
  565.  @andydouglas2108  Thanks.

  566. 13:05 Ukraine taking the countries that are embargoing their grain to court, is an admission that the grain was not destined to go to Africa in the first place.

  567. 19:29 Is the US Ambassador in Russia? I had the idea that there was only a charge d'affaires there at the moment..

  568. That is a magnificent Campus! How many students does it have?

  574. 18:20 Note: the TANKS will be ready for Ukraine "by the middle of 2024". He says nothing about the crews.

  575. 27:21 Remember the old Sea Shanty called "Hearts of Oak"? It contained the lines "Steady boys, steady! We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again!" Ah! Those were the days! "Oh where are the days that late we led? Where are they now? Totally dead!" RIP.
    1
  576. 22:12 You are absolutely right to point out that the point of the "Russian Threat" is to cut social spending. The same was true in the Cold War. Right from 1945, there was a constant effort to cut back on social spending. I think the first actual cuts started in 1952 under iirc Harold Macmillan.

  577. 31:18 I'll tell you whose English I find really remarkably good and that is the South African Foreign Minister's. Really impecable stuff! If I could not see her, I would guess that she was really a high class English lady. Quite possibly from an aristocratic or possibly university background.

  578.  @DavyRo  At least you have understood! Burns was usually bang on!
    1
  579. 18:59 Europe has nukes! The French have their "Force de Frappe!" Apart from that, the British sort of have nuclear "Trident" missiles. The problem with these is that when they tried one out, it went in the wrong direction and the UK needs US permissioin to use them. Or so I have heard.
    1
  580. 40:12 If the Russians were competing, their medics could cure this Belgian's e-coli infection in an hour or two with a dose of polyvalent bacteriophage. Perhaps the Georgians have some? They used to make it.

  581. 12:52 This sounds very like Projection.

  583. 18:29 It sounds as though the "Telegraph" has taken over the "Sun's" war correspondent! I thought The Telegraph.though very reactionary, was more grounded in reality than this!

  584. 19:01 The Chinese have proved that you do not need an Empire to become prosperous and abolish extreme poverty. You just need an organization like the Chinese Communist Party to show you how! "Aye, there's the rub."

  587. 24:50 Is this Coup in Niger, by any chance backed by the USG? You know: just finishing off the European economy?
    1
  588. 25:19 Giving up Kherson, is at this stage, a tactical decision. We don't know the Russian plans. Giving up the city permanently would be a strategic decision and a much more serious/complicated matter.
    1
  589. 29:30 100 tons among 2,5 million = 0.4kg (a bit less than 1lb.) each. Better than a kick in the teeth, but not much.

  590. 12:11 Does it, perhaps, mean that the Russians have captured some (well-known?) Azov men who are going to spill the beans on camera in the near future?

  594. 5:12 After many decades of ignoring Saudi Arabia's abysmal human rights record, and helping their regime to suppress any protest or political movement against the ruling clique; to start virtue signaling now, is really, really a bit late!

  596. 10:30 Ukraine setting the democratic example for the rest of Europe ? I don't see any problem with that.

  597. If it comes from the Ukrainian government I woould bet it's a lie.

  598. When did the US steal weapons from Iran? Those must be some "fairly" old weapons! Are we talking about Iran-Contra weapons?

  599. 29:10 Coud it be part of the campaign to discredit Zelensky? Sounds very odd!

  600.  @duellingscarguevara  Because there was less of a contrast with the present reality?
    1
  601. 21:23 You know where all the world goes to buy big transformers? China. They make the steel for the magnetic parts and they make the copper wire for the electrical parts. They also build the complete assemblies. I am not sure of this, but I think that all the firms that used to make them in Europe and the USA, have been driven out of the field by the competition from China.
    1
  602. 21:55 There seem to be a lot of Russian who are more hawkish than Putin's government. Maybe, they don't like Shoigu because he is not hawkish enough for their taste. As you say, it is hard to fault the preparations for this war, all in all.
    1
  603. 33:57 I don't imagine that this support for European arms mfgs will go down very well in the US MIC. Will it? They don't like competition. State-supported competition at that!

  607. 35:32 No. Not anthrax - washing powder.

  608. 27:18 And it is all the more inexplicable that China should do this when we have been so friendly to China! They have entirely ignored all the brotherly gestures we have made towards them! Ingrates!

  609. Sorry! I mis-heard. That should be $13.5 Billion ! Right, that means $26,000.00 each. More reasonable than I gave credit for.

  616. 32:21 It is going to be, ehem! "difficult" (Not to say chilly.) for Europe, if the Russian stop selling them LNG as they at present do.

  618. That should have been time-marked 3:02.

  621. 12:51 Let's hope the French engineers are well insured.

  622. 31:10 Over and over again, they come back, obsessively to Crimea. I am not a militarily trained man, but it seems to me that this focus on Crimea is not going to help Ukraine or N@0 in the ground war. It is not rational, it is obsessive. It is not as though it is Crimea that is supplying the Russian forces with weapons and other supplies, all that stuff comes from the rest of Russia. I don't know for certain, but I would be surprised if Crimea supplies more than some food and drink. It looks as though, the old British desire for Crimea, that provoked the Crimean War, is still operating. Almost as though the British Ruling Class was still miffed about their "defeat by those damned Ruskies!" As though they wanted Revenge for the way "The Charge of the Light Brigade" ended!
    1
  623. The reason that Elensky could not agree to the Minsk accords or anything like them is that he is not in control and the neocons in Wash DC, who are, wanted a war with Russia. They probably believe(d) their own propaganda that the well-trained well-armed Ukrainian troops would/will defeat the Russians.

  624. 25:07 I was surprised to find recently, that ordinary, civilian trains, run several times a week, from Chishinev (Capital city of Moldova) to Kiev.

  625. 16:58 Seems to me that theo ONLY place Zelensky would be safe would be Israel, if there is an Israel.

  627. I wonder, had the Ukrainians had enough time and enough weapons to really apply "combined arms warfare" in their attack on the Russian Surovikin Line, would it have succeeded? Or would the outcome have been just the same?
    1
  628. It would be interesting to see how the stockmarket behaved in the run-up to the attack. Before 911, there was quite a flurry of activity.

  636. 25:00 You can't figure out Musk's angle? He is of the elite class but he does not behave like the typical member of that class? Right. I think there is an analogy to be drawn between the behavior of molecules of water and a mass of water, and the behavior of members of a class and classes. For example, you can say that the river Thames flows from Oxford and the water later passes through London. It's in general true, but you cannot say the same about any particular molecule. On its way to London it might evaporate and go up into the sky, or it might be drunk by a cow or a fish and stay in Oxford. In the same way, in general you can predict the behavior of classes, but you cannot use that classification to predict the behavior of individual members of a class. Individuals are individuals and for all sorts of reasons they may act in unexpected, unpredictable ways. With Musk, we shall just have to wait and see!

  637.  @kathylarson8876  Right!

    1
  644. 30:35 It is also, that the Machines that Europe would need, have been scrapped or if not scapped are, at least, 80-90 years old. Where do you go these days to get new machine tools? China! Oops!

  645. 15:55 Time was when a country that aspired to EU membership, had to be at peace! Neither Ukraine nor Moldova come close. Both are at war. Ukraine with Russia and Moldova with Transdniestria.

  647. Sidewalks: It is the same in Italy.

  648. 37:59 In the CW, there are thousands of unexpected deaths of people of Navlny's age, that the Western governments refuse to discuss, never mind investigate. TV personalities, sports stars ordninary office workers, people across all walks of life, but particularly in the 19-59 year age range.

  664. Berlineren, berliners. This is either an inhabitant of Berlin, or a berliner sausage. There was some mild mockery of Kennedy, who famously said in a speech in Berlin: "Ich bin ein Berliner!"

  665. Correction! Fake news! Berliners are not sausages but doughnuts. Sorry!

  666. How is this for hypocrisy? Jake Sullivan complaining that Russia is "attacking grain ships and infrastructure in many cities in an attempt to conquer territory that belongs to another sovereign state"! Just as though this was not the usual US MO since way back. Not to mention their burning the wheat fields in Syria, just before the harvest, to try to starve the Syrians! To listen to him, you would think that the US had never even thought about destroying another sovereign state's infrastructure!
    1
  667. 25:51 It also shows that they are mathematically illiterate! Even supposing that 20% of Russians go abroard, there are only about 20% of Russians opposed to Putin, so while the Pro-Putin Russians are on holiday there will still be about 76% of the Russians in Russia in favour of Putin!
    1
  668. Glad you agree!
    1
  669. 9:36 Once upon a time, the thought of having to fight NA*o would have been enough to scare almost anyone. Today, rather less so. The Putin has been tearing shreds of paper off the paper Tiger which is looking decidedly tattered!
    1
  670. 25:23 Yes! Probably you have explained this apparent lunacy. Contracts and down payments. Makes sense now!

  671. I2:00 it is just a statement in line with all the other statements that come from the warmongers. Stand it on its head and it is perfectly true.

  683. 13:30 Could it be to make negotiation to end the war impossible?
    1
  684. Yes. I am sure you are right in this video, but what hubris! What arrogance this betrays! These people in WDC must either have some "secret weapon" that none of us have any inkling of or they are right out of touch with reality. Firstly what sort of "wedge" do they think they are going to use to separate Russia from China? For a start, both countries know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they "either hang together or will hang separately". Together, they are probably at least equal to the US militarily. Economically, they are much stronger than the US. Economically, the USA are very dependent on supplies of vital raw materials from both. Financially, they have just, gratuitously, shot themselves in both feet! Truly a case of "Whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad."

  690. 0:47 There you have it in his own words: "We have to remember who we are, we are the United States of America, we are the United States of America, and there is nothing, nothing beyond our capacity, if we do it together!" This is their delusion. We don't need to plan, we don't need to build up stocks before we wage a war, we can do anything we like because WE ARE AMERICA!

  692. Why doesn't Ben Wallace just send in the British Army to conquer Russia and install a British puppet? Should be easy!

  693. 30:18 If Poland, for example entered the war on Ukraine's behalf, would that not also enable Russia, legally to attack targets in Poland?

  697. Business Insider has a piece quoting Elensky as saying that while it is true that hamas is fighting with weapons from Ukraine, these were not sold to them by Ukraine. No! These are weapons that the Russians captured in Ukraine and gave to Hamas to embarrass the West in general and Ukraine in particular by smearing them as selling western supplied weapons on the Black Market. (A thing which, of course, they would not dream of doing!)

  699. 24:20 It occurrs to me, that CW's underestimation of the Russian military's fighting capacity, is, perhaps, another example of "projection"?

  701. It would be unfair to an extremely small minority of people, if the IOC were to define men as humans with a "Y" chromosome and women as humans that lacked a "Y" chromosome. They could perhaps institute special events for trans athletes? The "Transolympics" by analogy with the Paralympics"?

  704. You say that the behaviour of the EU politicians in general and the Greek and Cypriot politicians is "incredible". It is happening, so you have to believe it. What I wonder is how many of these politicians visited Jeffrey Epstein?

  707. 4:05 Google translate is usually good at translating German to English and back again, with one persistent failure to note(!) It frequently fails to notice the word "not"! which, of course, makes the translation somewhat different to the original.

  708. 16;05 The reason the Hague will not investigate the Sabotage of the NSPs is that the USA does not recognize the ICC and has threatened to bomb it if they try to investigate US crimes.

  711. Wrong! The job of a national army is to protect the Ruling Class against the rest of the population, They are a sort of backstop, after the educational system, the police and the MSM have all failed. Nato is the last layer of protection,

  713. 23:23 $400 million is almost nothing, in the context! An insulin producer alone could easily cost that. There is an epidemic of diabetes in both the US and China. This really is a cheap bet with potentially huge gains. However, I doubt that they will win.

  714. Elensky cannot negotiate a peace because the purpose of this war is to damage Russia. However much he may want it personally, he is a puppet and puppets do not make decisions. Peace will come when either Russia scores such a decisive victory that the Neocons/-libs see that further fighting is pointless or they see that the war is becoming too unpopular or maybe when they get trounced in the midterms and the Republicans put a stop to it. (Some hope, that!)

  716. 8:38 Come to think about it, the orders given to Elensky's forces in Donbas are very nearly the same as the orders given to the Light Brigade, in the poem about the Crimean War. Same result too!

  717. 30:04 Can anyone remember when the BBC criticized the government in power at the time? Or even in retrospect? I can't. Can anyone remember the BBC criticizing the warmongers in Washington DC? I can't remember a single instance of that. If it isn't a government-controlled organization, then it must be controlled by the "Integrity Initiative", which as is well known, is an arm of the Five-eyes intelligence organization.

  718. 24:19 Yeah! I bet that being sent to fight the Russians, without weapons or ammunition, is a bit offputting!

  719. 35:07 I'm afraid they would want to make up for the shortage of conventional weapons by using "mini"-nukes.

  720. 32:00 Maybe, Zelensky is going to personally invest in Africa. Have you thought of that?

  721. 7:37 It really does sound, if one is to believe Szijjarto, as though these ministers were all high on something like cocaine or maybe, on cocaine. Apparently, a small dose of the white nose-powder, is enough to give one 1000 X the normal quantity of dopamine (The neurotransmitter causing pleasure sensations.) in one's brain.
