  1.  @SuanLuang  More importantly he was not Tel Aviv approved. @ruthelainefry Being a man of principle is not enough. In his position, you have to be tougher than old boots and he is a rather gentle soul.

  2. 21:52 Isn't this method of bargaining well within theJewish tradition? Zelensk and his team are all Jewish, I don't know about Lloyd Austin but Blinken and Sullivan and Vicky \nuland are also of the same ethnicity. You start off with an outrageous demand and the other offers peanuts, so you drop your demand slightly and he offers a few lumps of sugar to add to the nuts and eventually you compromise on somethin in between. It's a very old proceedure.

  3. 11:49 Trump is not fanatically Anti-Russian. That is what makes him different.

  4. 20:27 I am not a lawyer but, I would have thought that it would in effect make the banks that participated in this scheme, in crininal slang, into Fences!

  5. Yes, the point is that you cannot overcome faith with either logic or facts. I once asked a Christian priest: "What is the essence of religion? and without hesitation he replied: "Faith". Since faith means believing things which are not supported by evidence, there is no point in providing evidence to the faithful that their faith is based on nothing or false assumptions. That "don't cut the mustard"!

  6. 19:15 That is exactly the point! It never was about Communism, that was always an excuse for Russophobia! No, thinking about it more, I think it was always fear of any country that might displace the USA as Hegemon or even compete with it to more than a very small extent.

  7. I would be interested to hear your comments on the news from Britain, that the population is turning its back on TV, of all types and turning to the internet for news and entertainment and the other news that one quarter of Britons are living in poverty.

  8. 10:16 I don't know much about Pakistan, but I would have thought that if re-elected, he would feel a good deal more secure in his popular support, than he could have felt the first time.

  9. About "It could have been anybody who made this recording". Yes ! It could. Anyone who hacked into this conversation, even accidentally, having recorded it , could have sold it for a goodly sum.

  10. 12:28 Clichés are a form of laziness. There are other forms of laziness that Blinken uses: "We don't need a plan; we'll just muddle through". "We are so overwhelmingly powerful that it is inconceivable that we will lose, therefore we do not need to think about what would happen if we were to lose." "The good always win in the end so, since we are the good guys, we are bound to win," "Because Russia and China are autocracies, the Russian and Chinese people are bound to get fed up with their rulers and will eventually come over to our side." "Everyone is as greedy and cowardly as we are so all we have to do is to make them suffer a bit and they will give up."

  11. I should think that if the Russians found that their industry was being stretched, they could ask the Chinese for help and it would be forthcoming.

  12. 6:00 Bear in mind that an economy growing at 6%, doubles in size in a decade. So, to put it another way, an economy that maintained 6% growth between 2010 and 2020 is actually increasing in size by roughly the same amount as it was in 2010 if it grows by 3% in 2020.

  13. I haven't been in France for decades, but last time I was there, I had the impression that Russia was regarded with rather warm, friendly feelings. How much has that changed, I wonder?

  14. 16:26 Nepotism. I am reminded of a story from the 70s when a small number of companies adopted the Chinese idea of sending ruling class people to work in the fields or on the factory floor, to gain insight into how their actions and decisions affected ordinary people. Avis was one such company. There was a story that one of the vice-presidents, who was working as a booking clerk, had really messed up someone's booking and was confronted by a very angry customer, who asked him: "What is your position in this company?" and rather sheepishly, he admitted to being a vice-president. "Yeah!! And I'll bet your old man is chairman of the board!" was the bitter reply.

  15. 10:57 You don't know what skeletons there are in Scholtz's cupboard. Probably, someone in Washinton does.

  16. 18:14 Mao understood this. quite early in the Chinese revolution, Chiang Kai-shek captured Mao's sweetheart/wife and his baby and had them executed BECAUSE they were Mao's family. Later, a part of Chiang's army revolted and were going to execute him and Mao stopped them, because he thought that it would hinder the war against Japan if they did.

  17. 11:23 My fear is, that if anyone were to "turn up", with a real effective policy, committed let's say, to making Britain prosperous or fairer, they would be ragged to pieces by the MSM.

  18. 10:13 It looks to me, I am sorry to say, as though until the warmongers in Washington DC are decisively defeated on the battlefield, they and their soulmates in London, Brussels and Berlin will never stop making trouble.

  19. 1:04:24 You mean like NATO gave Ukraine security? This must be some new definition of "Security" of which I was, hitherto, unaware!

  20. 15:17 The Israeli genocide case is not being defended properly because it is indefensible.

  21. "Johnson - unpopular Biden - unpopular Trudeau - unpopular Macron - unpopular Scholtz - unpopular" It's called Western-style Democracy.
    9
  22. 5:07 You are completely right! Because there is no "Democracy" in European government policies (Excepting Hungary) because they are all, whatever party is "in Power" under the thumb of Washington. They quarrel among themselves but they do not quarrel with Washington.

  23. 17:58 It would not surprise me at all if Bloomberg had been told, by the Integrity Initiative, to "stop rocking the boat!"

  24. Very good suggestion!

  25. 33:40 Before you bring about Regime Change, it is as well to know what/who you want to replace the current rulers. Otherwise, you are taking a leap in the dark and hoping for a soft landing.

  26. 3:47 Being kept waiting fot the Iranian response is costing the US and Israel a lot of money and nervous energy!

  27. Almost the whole trouble in the World, bar a few regional conflicts, which could almost certainly be sorted out by negotiations, is caused by the small group of neo-cons in the US. (Supported by the weird idea of American Execptionalism.) A resounding defeat of NATO/US might provide an opportunity, which might not recur for another century, to deal with this problem, to the advantage of the whole World.

  28. 15:36 You could not be more wrong about the feeling towards the USSR in Britain during the war! I know, Ilived through that period and I can tell you that there was a great deal of friendly feeling and gratitude for the Red Army's and the Soviet people's struggle duringthe war. It was even to be found insuch un likely places as The Daily Mail! It's true that it faded away very quickly afterwards though.

  29. 15:57 There can be no dispute at all that NATO's failure to win an immediate and crushing win over Russia in Ukraine, has already vastly diminished NATO's pretige. It has destroyed the MYTH of NATO Invincibility.

  30. It's not the Greens running the show in Germany, it is the Unohus and the Neocons in Wash D.C.

  31. 5:09 Perhaps the EU should be renamed "The Brussels Pact".

  32. I would like to see would be joint Russian-Chinese-Cuban Naval-air exercises in the international waters of the Caribbean Sea. Preferably, with a Chinese carrier battle group taking part. However, I doubt the Russians, the Chinese and the Cubans will be that provocative.

  33. HT has a report that Elensky is saying that much as he would like a spring offensive, it can't start until his western friends send some weapons and some ammunition.

  34. 1:00:02 I can't reassure you that this is "the darkest hour before dawn" but there are huge changes afoot that have not been touched on in this program e,g. the rapid decline of the dollar and a backlash over the Pandemic and the way it was mis-handled. There is also the accellerating shift away from the domination of the MSM. Partly your's and Alex's work, for which many thanks!

  35. 12:20 Gorbaschov's ideas if followed,would have meant less arms being ordered and hence less money for the shareholders and other beneficiaries of the arms industry, the conress-critters and the lobbying industry and their dependents. That is beyond doubt, one reason why there was a backlash agains Gorbaschov's ideas in Washington. Another, reason was that Gorbaschov's iniative, largely removed the raison d'etre for NATO and the US armed forces. The third and in my view the most important reason for the pushback was the perrenial desire in Washington, to conquer, dismantle and loot, Russia.

  36. The Scots have a proverb that goes something like: "Fact are chiels that winna ding". Which means "Facts are children that won't do what you want." (I think!)

  37. 17:15 I heard this morning that the NYT is worrying about some of the prisoners taken in Avdiivka might change sides. Hmmm!

  40. 3:59 Abkhazia is not Ngorno-Kharabakh (Excuse my spelling!). Methinks your mind has "slippped a cog." Abkhazia was a break-away part of Georgia, that Georgia attacked under Sakashvili and was defended by Russia.

  41. 18:12 Had the White House done what Alex suggested, they would have faced an enormous barrage of criticism from the MIC and the Media (N0t to say death threats!).

  42. Attacks on US bases, arms dumps and ships could make supporting Israel much more expensive, and Israeli military sites, such as arms dumps arms factories and airfields, could embarras Israel.
    7
  43. 10:59 The military may also be alarmed at the thought that if things go on as they are at present, they may find themselves having (God forbid!!) to fight the Russians.

  44. 14:45 Considering how many Italian leaders who wanted to follow independent paths have been assassinated or died mysteriously, one can easily understand Meloni's hesitation!

  45. 40:59 Immigration helps to keep wages down. This is good for the employers and bad for the employees. Without Class Analysis, politics is "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

  46. 11:57 What happened to the "Left" in Britain? The Communist party, the CPGB was at its strongest ever at the end of WW2. I don't know how it happened, but quite a number of communists and left-wing social democrats, got into the Education Corps during the war and had quite a radicalising effect on the armed forces, boosting the reputation of the Red Army. This effect was large enough to alarm Bevin and Bevan and the High command. Probably it was part of the reason why "Operation Unthinkable" never got off the drawing board. In the election immediately following the end of the war, which Churchill had expected to win, the Labour Party won. They introduced what they said was Socialism and was in fact a mixed economy. However, it was also a fraud, in that the state owned enterprises, were all charging large private industries rock bottom prices while the price to retail consumers was 4 -6 times higher and all the while the MSM kept up a contant mantra of "Socialism is all very well in theory, but inpractice it always makes a loss!! Around 1952 the Conservative party managed to be elected and immediatly started whittling away at the "Socialism" first by declaring "The War on Drugs" and making prescriptions for addictive drugs no longer free. This was a really destructive move, because up until then, there was practically no "Drugs Problem." There were a very few people, who had been working in the Far East and had become addicted to opium and were on diminishing doses of other narcotics to get them off their habits. The MSM made a great fuss about "Ordinary folks subsidizing these evil peoples' habits!" This change opened a way for organized Crime to make a huge financial ,killing which has never stopped since and it provided funding for organised crime and the excuse for many more policemen with much greater powers. "The Socialism" was used to take the old worn out industries, coal mining, iron and steel manufacture, road transport, railways, electricity generation and distribution, gas manufacture and distribution, Post Office including telephones, and modernise them at the taxpayers expense. These measures by Labour governments were followed by Conservative government that then sold off the refurbished enterprises to "friends" at rock-bottom prices. Very profitable for the moneid and very bad for leftwing thinking. In fact it was a very successful campaign by the Right and the Ruling Class. I don't remember exactly when but some time after Stalin's death the CPSU(B) pronulated a new doctrine called the "Parliamentary Road to Socialism" .(As opposed to the revolutionary road that had been the doctrine since about 1917) the CPGB of course followed the Soviet lead but when the Chinese Communist Party objected, it split not just the World Communist movement but a split occurred also in the CPGB. After the split occurred and the more left-wing faction left the Party in disgust, the leftists did not unite, but split up into numeroud little groups which each claimed to be more Marxis-Leninist than all thee rest occurred, a My impression is, that probably all of them were infiltrated by the Special Branch and gradually everyone in them got fed up and resigned. At least, that is how it looks to me.

  47. 36:20 In other words, it would cause no more trouble than stealing Lybia's gold.

  48. The British Ruling Class want the US in Britain. The population has never been asked.

  49. 19:38 The horrific scenes that are bring plyed out in Gaza, seem fairly likely to put so many people off supporting Israel, at all, that it will make even one-party support for Israel impossible to achieve.

  50. 6:12 Maybe the authors of the two articles in the Telegraph and the Spectator, met and had a discussion in their club, before they went their separate ways and wrote their pieces for their respective journals?
