  1. I look forward to your commenting on the latest idiocy of the US, where a US State has passed a resolution supporting Sikh independence. (!) That should work wonders for India-China relations!

  2. 17:20 I'm afraid that Alex may well be right, that the EU citizens will accept this evil set-up. However, there is a ray of hope which you two have helped to generate: Look back at the comments to your programs over the last, say, five years and you will find that the "tone" of them has changed/is changing remarkably. Keep up the good work and maybe, just maybe they won't! Slowly, slowly, over time people generally are becoming much more willing to speak out, to challenge cencorship and to question authority.

  3. 16:02 The reason they can get away with twisting Putin's words in this fashion, is that so few people go to the original source material. You and the other purveyors of the Truth, have a small audience, the fraction of that audience that takes the trouble to read original speeches of leaders opposed to the US is even much smaller. The rest of the population hardly does so at all.

  4. 9:12 I remember when we had massive unemployment in Britain in the late 80s, the politicians were all cockahoop over "How well the economy is doing". As I had just been offered the choice of "the sack or twice the work, in half the time, for half the pay," (No, I am not making this up!) I felt rather bitter.
    24
  5. Thanks for that one!

  6. 14:25 What Alexander says about replacing the ruling clique/class is exactly what I think too. I think that he has summed it up about as well as it could be put.
    23
  7. 20:25 Are you sure that the sanctions are aimed at Russia? Is it not likely, given that they are quite obviously not damaging Russia, that they are, in fact, aimed at Europe in general and Germany in particular?
    23
  8. 4:56 Do you think that perhaps, just possibly, there might be some Israeli politicians, some military people even who do not like the thought of committing genocide or even ethnic cleansing? Could it be that they are what is holding up the start of this "Operation"?

  9. "Working people must take control of their own lives and works" There are three very big problems that stand in the way of that happening: 1)The disorganized nature of the British working classes and 2) the lack of any credible leader. 3) The MSM's near-monopoly of information distribution. There are other, but those are, IMHO, the most important.

  10. 50:45 The weakness of this discussion is that it ignores the way that there was an underlying sympathy in Britain (Churchill and many British aristocrats) and in America (General Grove, John Foster Dulles)) for the N*zis, which sympathy survived WW2 and was expressed not only in "Operation Paperclip" and the analogous Japanese operation, but also in the wholesale adoption and incorporation of the Gehlen Organization and its use to harass the Soviet Union, not only, but particularly in Ukraine. IOW this cultivation of the extreme right-wing elements in Ukraine is not something that started in 2014 but goes back at least to 1945. Nor should one, in this context, forget that the original idea to research the possibility of making atom-bombs, it seems was NOT "in case the Germans got there first" but in order to defeat the USSR. Seeing how friendly NATO was with almost every F*scist dictatorship there was in the world, (Spain, Portugal, Egypt, Libya, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Greece, Vietnam, China, South Korea, Indonesia, Philippines etc., etc.) and how the US intervened in liberation movements to install F*scist governments, (Iran, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, etc.) it seems to me that the "Political West" was not some relatively innocuous aspect of Western Society or civilization, but more like a powerful F*scist crusade. Put it another way: what would you call people who organize, finance, arm, protect and support in every possible way, F*scists? Liberals? Democrats? Philanthropists?

  11. Why is Starmar following the same policy as Sunak was? Because both are puppets with the same puppetmaster.
    22
  12. The USG is a linear descedant of the Mob in 1930s Chicago, so their behaving as crooks is hardly a surprize. It merely thei real nature showing itself. (Can the Leopard change his spots?) This Gangster nature of the USG becomes more and more obvious the more one learns about them.
    22
  13. 17:04 It's not just the British. Throughout the CW there is a mass of mediocre "statesmen" and "stateswomen" and not a single distinguished, charismatic person amongst the lot. It really is a quite extraordinary phenomenon.
    22
  14. 31:40 Add to the Russians producing 130% the STEM students compared to the US, the fact that a lot of the US STEM students are foreign and that the Chinese universities are producing about EIGHT TIIMES as many STEM graduates as the US universities.
    21
  15. No. It's more like two Chiwawas planning to take on a grizzly bear. It's Monthy Python all over again, absurd but, this time, not funny.
    21
  16. Not until they nationalize their MIC and break the power of AIPAC.
    21
  17. 5:56 the Iranians could react in the same way as Germany when they were faced with the accusation "There are German Tanks in Ukraine fighting Russians again." They replied IMMSMC, Those are not German tanks! Those are Ukrainian Tanks! They belong, not to Germany but to Ukraine!" So, These are not "Iranian" precision guided missiles those are missiles of the Popular Mobilization Forces!"
    20
  18. The problem besetting Germany is/was the same as the problem besetting both Britain and Japan, they were living under the control of the USA. The USA which does not like competition.
    20
  19. 23:04 The point about e.g. Lloyd Austin warning an American audience about "the Russians invading the Baltic states and Moldova, Georgia and Armenia" is that the audience has only the foggiest idea of how important or vital to US interests these countries are or what their importance is. Probably most of them think "this is our Secretary of Defense, so probably he knows what he is talking about and if he's worried about it, probably, we ought to be worried about it too!"
    20
  20. 10:22 "Getting rid of Netanyahoo" looks more like a job for the CIA than for Blinken.
    19
  21. 43:23 I bet, you Alexander, never thought of yourself as a Revolutionary! Welcome to the club!

  22. 40:00 You will not get a permanent peace while you have a privately owned Arms industry, which has its shareholders in powerful positions. Isn't that absolutely obvious?
    18
  23. 35:20 The embargo on Russian diamonds will affect the gem trade in the West and it will very badly affect the metal and stone working industries in the West. Particularly industries that are concerned with very high precision will be badly hit, as diamond cutting tools are essential to them.
    18
  24. 4:17 I think you are wrong about this. The fact that Russia is the World's biggest nuclear power is not really important, What is important, is that Russia is such a big (and well-prepared) nuclear power that any war with Russia has to stay conventional or everyone loses. I also think that nonetheless a NATO war with Russia now or in the near future would indeed, be suicide for NATO. NATO is not geared up for such a war. It might be able to prepare for such a war, but of course the Russians would not sit on their hands and wait for them.
    18
  25. 38:00 The countries you are calling Freeloaders have been largely forced/persauded to buy extremely expensive weapons from the USMIC. E.g. F-35s. They have also had most of their arms manufacturers driven out of business because N@0 weapons have mostly been bought from the USMIC. So it is not all US-giving and European-taking. In addition, Eu soldiers have died in the wars that the US has initiated and N@0 has supported.

  26. 10;54 The chief beneficiaries of the USSR were the working classes of Western Europe. They di not have to live in fear of the KGB but because the Western ruling classes felt the need to compete with the USSR, they got such things as : paid holidays, sick pay, a national Health Service, unemployment pay and maybe other benefits I have forgotten.
    17
  27. Why is the Military always "fighting the last war"? Because the teachers in the military colleges are almost always senior, often retired officers, whose experience was, in previous wars.
    17
  28. There are no disputes in Europe or Eurasia that cannot be settled by negotiations. The basic problem is the Anglo-American wish to defeat Russia and/or to be World Hegemon. This is the PRINCIPAL PROBLEM. Unless this is dealt with there will be no permanent peace.
    16
  29. The Chinese have an expression for it: "Lifting a rock, only to drop it on one's own foot."
    15
  30. 21:10 Many of these "Stupid" US pronouncements are principally aimed at the Domestic US audience.
    15
  31. 3:27 Another symptom of the endgaminess of the situation is, that Today, Yahoo's news roundup hardly mentions Ukraine at all.
    15
  32. 12:21 It almost seems that while they are scared to go head-to-head with the Russian army, they still have hopes that with their attacks inside Russia, they will bring about regime change in Moscow.
    14
  33. 8:30 In Leipzig the day before yesterday a fairly violent mob attacked the US consulate, shouting slogans to the effect of "Yankee go home!!" Probably, Putin's work!
    14
  34. 6:36 Isn't it the same in GB? Aren't Labour and Conservative just another Uniparty? I mean, what is the essential difference beyween Rishy Subak and Sir Kier Starmer? (I mean in policy terms.)
    14
  35. 19:56 This legalistic approach of the Soviet/Russian government will have much more force and probably, effect, now that the myth of N@0 invincibility has been shattered.

  36.  @bogdanmeleszczenko1271  Dream on, little matey!

  37. One of my memories of my NS time in Germany is of being in a pub when a man came over to me and indicating a chair beside the table said: "Is this place free?" "Yes" I replied. ( I was in fact, on my own and unusually, in uniform.) He plonked his 'Stein down on the table and sat down. "I was in the Waffen SS." he announced, proudly. I don't remember what I replied but it was something non-committal. Probably, I asked where he had fought and it turned out that he had fought in southern Russia. "Rough, I imagine." I said." "ROUGH?! You can't imagine how rough it was! It was beyond anything I could have dreamt up! In the warm weather there were biting flies like you have never seen and dust, great clouds of dust and partizans and when it was cold there was mud like three metres deep! And when it froze it froze so hard that nothing would start.. Anything that was bogged down when it froze needed explosive to dig it out! And we had summer uniforms. God! It was awful and always there were partizans!"
    13
  38. 15;00 Not merely did they not crash through the Russian lines and sweep all before them all the way to the Sea of Azov, but there was never the slightest sign of it happening! They got stuck almost as soon as they started and though they struggled mightily, it availed them almost nothing to write home about.
    13
  39. I wonder, were any British or US citizens among the killed or wounded in the attack that did take place?
    13
  40. No. The US started on this course before WW2 ended.
    13
  41. 14:42 It really pleases me to think, that one of my pet hates the "JITW" or Just-In-Time-Working, is responsible for this inability to crank up Western production of 155mm shells. When I was working in the UK in the '90s, it was derisevly called "JTLW" or Just-too-late-Working.
    13
  42. 6:16 I should think that the US presidential candidates refer to Russia as "The SovietUnion", not so much in error, as knowing that this is a "Button" which when pressed produces a reaction in an American audience which, for some tactical reason, they want at that time.
    13
  43. 4:45 At a guess, the "Deep Structural Problem" is called the CIA.
    13
  44. 29:00 Very interesting issue! I liked the summary of the impact of Putin's speech. Boy! What a speech that was! That speech said out loud, almost all the things I have wished over the years, that Soviet, Russian and Chinese leaders would say. That Putin felt able to say them Today, is a measure of Russian power and the confidence it gives him. It is also a signal to the World outside the West (WoW) that the West is a paper tiger and that it is past its peak power.
    13
  45. 41:42 It is hardly neccessary to point out that this situation has been brought about, very largely by the US vetoing resolutions critical of Israel, for decades. They made this problem and yet it has taken them by surprise!
    12
  46. This reduction in insurance trade is entirely due to sanctions on Russian oil. The CW forbade Western insurers to insure cargos of Russian oil. I said at the time that it was a transparently stupid policy, because anyone with a deep pocket can insure such things and it was simply pushing business over to Chinese, Indian, Russian or Indonesian insurers and it was. Insurance, after all, is a profitable business! (The Two Ronnies: Insurance Against Becoming Jewish 3:16)
    12
  47. 25:19 You are absolutely spot on with your analogy to the British situation in 400AD! There is not one problem, there are a miriad and they have no skill in any of them! They have no diplomats not enough engineers, not enough skilled metal workers, not enough inspectors, not enough engineers and even management in Britain is mostly done by amateurs. (Only 1/4 of managerial staff in Britain had a formal qualification of any sort last time I heard.) They have no experienced generals and with the armed forces being so small, almost certainly, no corpus of NCOs. As I have said before, if you are going to make explosive devices, drones, no less than shells, you absolutely have to have skilled inspectors. Without them you will lose factories and everything in them.
    12
  48. 19:45 This switch from the "Blitzkrieg Ukrainian push to the Black Sea and beyond" to "It's a marathon" reminds me of a wartime cartoon the day after the sinking of the Battleship, the Scharnhorst. It had Joseph Goebbels, in front of a microphone making a broadcast and saying: "And yesterday our glorious Navy increased our submarine fleet by 38,100 long tons!"
    12
  49. How does NATO intervene without 155mm shells?
    11
  50. 56:00 No one seems to mention the ethnic rights of the Greek-speaking or Hungarian-speaking minorities in Ukraine , who were equally oppressed by the Kiev regime. Maybe it's time they were mentioned. Maybe also there are other oppressed minorities of which I am unaware?
