But of course it they win the war they will be able to plunder Russia’s gas,grain, and other natural resources. America can then enjoy prosperity at other nations expense just as the British did in the past when they robbed India and Africa.
@@Van1981-xf4vhWhat wealth? They've been robbing Peter to pay Paul since before WW 2. They get Canadian raw resources for nothing, then sue us through NAFTA, but we have to cow under because the USA "protects" Canada. That's a protection racket under the United Fakes of Hysteria's own RICO.
With the help of the USSR, more than 200 industrial facilities were built in Afghanistan, including a hydroelectric power station, a gas pipeline, airfields, a house-building plant, an asphalt concrete plant, a highway and the Salang tunnel, and much more. An entire Soviet microdistrict was built in Kabul.
yet the entire western troops were living in gray military tents for 20 years in Afghanistan. The US claims they spent 3 trillion in Afghanistan, yet they didn't leave anything other than Guns for Afghans to benefit from. However, the USSR built infrastructures are still being used to this day. Sadly they left guns behind thinking Afghans will continue to kill each other for many years after the US leave. Thanks to the former president was smart enough to prevent that from happening by leaving all power to Taliban.
The US is a corportisme society. Big business is running everything, no politicians. Its the most corrupt country in the world if u go buy money volume and the influence they have world wide.
What’s crazy to me is how Americans actually wanted Prigozhin and Wagner to overthrow the Russian government. If that actually happened people would have learned how evil prigozhin actually was and would have made Putin look like a saint in comparison. Prigozhin is a hard ultra right nationalist who wanted total war on Ukraine. And people wanted Prigozhin in power of Russia as if they thought he was going to pull out of Ukraine. No he would’ve probably declared total mobilization and destroyed Ukraine into rubble.
I've doubts Prigozhin would have managed to consolidate enough power & support to lead Russia. Governing Russia the way Putin is doing it is like orchestrating an army of mini-Putins who prefer falling in line for a stable system. Prigozhin would have not been stable.
@@Blashmack yes I agree. Especially a guy like Prigozhin would not have lasted long in Russia. He would have been too much of an unstable and unhinged maniac.
Ukraine is a sovereign country since 1991 - it’s completely daft to compare it to Texas. Imagine Putin coming to take Alaska back - he said recently they have a claim as the sale was not valid. This is the same logic as his invasion of Ukraine
@@benkellyshowand if Texas had a vote to leave the USA and won and the USA sent troops into Texas say they could not leave and called there vote a sham and another country goes to Texas aid with weapons to defend themselves from the USA , near 20 million east Ukrainians have always called themselves Russian those people are forgotten by the west
@@benkellyshowCanada is also a sovereign nation. Guess why it don't pick fights with United States? Canada is wise. Ukraine not so much. Your 'sovereignty' is only as good as the power you have to safeguard it. As of now, it's a sovereign BUFFER STATE like CUBA. Make peace with Russia or perish. Uncle Sam won't come your rescue.
@@benkellyshowUkraine hasn’t been sovereign since the coup in 2014. Unless it’s normal for the country to have its leaders chosen by the likes of Mrs Nuland.
@IsaacTui Yup. They’re going head to head now in the big leagues. Picking on smaller countries has been a warm up for the US in preparation for the big one. Bottom line- an Empire in decline is a dangerous beast.
@denipavlovic7309 ??? Africa is in the pouches of china and russia. they are turning aways from the west and getting further away every day. im the middle east it's only some arb countries because of money. africa dislikes the west because of the shit Europe has done. they are for example removing the french language as official languages or putting export restrictions on europe while trading more and getting closer to china.
@@bonzocleach2496 Texas wouldn't want to be part of USA in few years. When that happens, will you be ok if Russia, Iran, NK, China comes build bio labs, launch sites, and train Texans as a deterrent against USA? If your answer is no, then you have no say in what's happening in Ukraine. Anyways leaving all that aside, we lost 90% of our military according to your MSM and elites yeah. And our nukes are dummies yeah. Then come fight our last remaining 10% military. Our president has already invited you NATO cowards to come and face our military in the battlefield. Not a peep from you COWARDs
USA could prevent invasion if they stop NATO expansion on the east. Putin did not want war and he was trying to negotiate peaceful agreament with USA but Empire think that they are so powerful and don't need to negotiate with poor weak Russia
I have to disagree with one thing this man incredibly intelligent man says....it hasn't been 25 years since our military has won a great victory, it has been 80

the 1st gulf war was rather successful and Korean war quite too.
@RobertBalejik the Korean War is still technically active. I wouldn't qualify the liberation of Kuwait as a major war. It was a small scale oil war.. .
What is it with Americans where they think they’ve got the right to just go to what ever country they want, and do whatever they want they talk about freedom, democracy, and sovereignty they believe in none of that it’s all a sham
WEST is in decline, the world is waking.up! People are rising up. Look at the election in Germany and France. Macron is dead duck, he should stop GRANDstanding!
Trust me, it’s not the majority of Americans, we are sick of the conflict abroad while our own citizens are suffering. All the nonsense is our officials do what they want, then lie about why they are doing it and a good portion of our country has been brainwashed through propaganda.
Ukraine was bombing their own people. Someone needs to interview American Journalist Patrick Lancaster. He lived with his family in Ukraine. Now lives in Russia. He was there before all this started. He can tell you what happened and how it started

Putin went into Ukraine to get rid of Neo Nazis killing Pro-Russian civilians, nothing less and nothing more, America and Europe esaclated it!
@@pheymee88 it's called feet on the ground. To control the situation, you have to control the territory. It is noteworthy that until August 2022 there were no such requirements and withdrawal of troops was possible.
America has no business in Ukraine 🇺🇦. Ukraine was never going to win the war in the first place and to implicate the American taxpayer in this pathetic war is a crime.
It's crazy to me how many leftists were anti Iraq War, they say Afghanistan was a mistake we should've never been there, it was all for profit and destabilization etc. And now they nonstop parrot the MIC talking points basically pushing for war with Russia.
Trump is the little horn y’all better wake up an pay attention the ultra wealthy are the ones complaining an using the poor an middle class as shields justice is coming for all of them
Prince idea of the Contactor Airforce for Ukraine would definitely NOT have stop Russia from invading. He contradicts himself during this interview, saying about Russia and the expansion of NATO from 1992.
It's insane for him to think that would ever fly politically in the US or EU. Private contractor air force using old US planes, under the command of Erik Prince or someone similar (given the Blackwater legacy in the public memory). It's some warlord type shit.
The #1 deterrent force would have been "No, Ukraine will not become part of NATO and we will agree they remain neutral henceforth." A few words would have stopped this situation!!! This IS NOT Russia's fault.
Absolutely not Russia’s fault there was no need for Ukraine to join NATO, there was no threat from Russia, NATO needs to fall apart no use to anyone just a warmonger!!
Dont buy all this shit This is about controlling europes food supply. EU farmers are being destroyed Ukrsine iLand Price is going doen Its all bought up by Blackrock and such And we already see import stops of ukraine grain and stuff thats flooding europe that used to got o africa Its bever what is talked about Noone gives a fuck about Nato extension in europe Africans are the weslthiewt goubtries being held back by not having a single car factory, a single stractor factory, bo aurplane is build in africa You thi k anything is different then 1700s ?

I love the quote about 1%, 5%, 90%, etc. It reminds me of Orwell’s 1984. “If there’s hope, it lies in the proles” The 90% could be the most powerful - they just need to wake up first.
Adequate and more informed people occasionally come to them. But these guys either have a memory like a fish, or they have a training manual, from which, no matter what, you can not retreat)
Scott Ritter, a convicted underage sex offender, has already been on the show, and shared the "facts" that Russia is killing Ukrainian soldiers at a 7:1 or 8:1 ratio, based on the Russian PHOTOSHOPPED version of the Pentagon leak, which actually showed Ukraine killing Russian soldiers at a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio.
Bizarre how Mr. Prince says that the Russians were wrong invading Ukraine, and immediately afterwards he explains in detail how NATO expanded after 1992 and how this represented a red line, etc... Bizarre!
@@Natedawgontherightfor example cancelling the Minsk-agreements... the west poked and poked poked and now wondering why the bear is angry. Putin was/is always willing to talk this case but the west is too arrogant for that.
The Russians weren’t wrong and they didnt invade Ujraine they went to aid their ow people that were slaughtered by Ukraine cause they chose to join Russia .If you speak the truth speak all of it don’t freaking lie so someone approves you more or better.
If they love Russia then move there lol 😂. It like you live in the US and start saying you hate it and want to be part of Canada. Then pack your bags 💼 and move there. The whole war is greed on both sides. The rich getting wealthier from war while the poor and innocent die.
Я русский,поставьте себя на моё место - что бы Вы делали,если Россия строила свои военные базы на границе с США? Просто задайте себе этот вопрос. Нам уже надоело это терпеть.
Why do you think that we in the West want to strike Russia? We don't. We have military bases because we are NATO and we think that down the road USER, you Russians will attack us.
6 to 8 trillion to replace the taliban of the taliban and have nothing to show for it. American are suffering and we are wasting trillions on useless wars.
Prince contradicts himself. Is the problem the US helping Ukraine or the problem is the US not listening to Prince when helping Ukraine. Comes off as a man just scorned by the DOD.
He’s not a dictator. He is very much anti war actually, and doesn’t want this war. Tried to make a peace deal multiple times. From a half Ukrainian, half Russian.
@@fishmonger7020 Ritter is the best US diplomat today, even though he has no official role. If he is not called to be interviewed by this crew, they too are not independent .
"Russia was wrong in invade Ukraine." There are many reasons this is incorrect but the most obvious was the Donbass Region. The Luhansk and Donetsk Peoples Republics are Russian Federation and Russia has an agreement to defend them if they are attacked. Forces were building up since 2014 and Russia performed their POLICE ACTION or Military Operation on the 24th February the day before a mission to genocide the Russian Speakers of the Donbass. Ukraine Borders were never declared to the U.N. in 1991 so technically Ukraine is still Russia.
This isn't exactly true. In 1991 after the fall of the Soviet union a lot of countries voted for their independence and Ukraine is one of those countries. UN recognised Ukraine as an independent country. Yes the area of Donbas was more about being Russian and Ukrainians were horrible to the people in that area. Ukraine was also recognised by Russia before 1991. Stalin tried to genocide the Ukrainians. Look into holodomor. So Russia was in fact wrong in invading the west of Ukraine even if they had their reasons.
Not once did we ever hear from this administration, that we should negotiate an end to this conflict . Why ? Because a certain 3 letter agency believed very early on that the war would bring down Putin.
The guy says people fall for propaganda and proceeds to repeat propaganda himself saying that there's an agreement to NATO not move in those times Soviet "Union"? They were talking about not moving eastward from the Berlin wall in Germany
I’m Russian and I can say that this man is incredibly smart and if people like him were in the White House, we would have big problems, but thank God you have a weak-minded grandfather in the White House.)😄
Understandably, Russia seeks a buffer zone ... USA should not participate in obscure European conflicts. We owe honor to our young American fighting forces.
27 million SOVIETS (not ethnic Russians) died in WW2, with Ukraine losing up to 8 million, with many of the Soviet states losing high percentages. The guy's statistics show he's a 🤡. And what about the Budapest Memorandum that was out in place to secure Ukraine's future? And Putin lies just like Hitler did. There is no negotiating with the likes of these aggressive monsters. The West has to work together against Russia, China, Iran etc. The guy's not smart, he's just a dumb ass spouting bollocks that Russia will be delighted with.
lol just because you are wealthy doesn't make you the 1% that control everything. I worked for his father on his jets and met Erik when he was at Annapolis. They're anything but the 1% that DC loves. Just look at all the attacks on him and fines etc. The elites of DC hate him because he makes sense and can't be controlled.
He is right that many dont know wat happened in ukraine n thought that the war started in feb 2022 but infact it had started since feb 2014 n many dont know about this.
Please be so kind and have a look at history of Eastern Europe. If it is too difficult for you then please do not write this nonsense comments. Thanks.

Nations must not Sniff around others Borders..Even less from accross globe... Everywhere NATO has approached.. Second stage conflicts arise..Putin has right to keep one step ahead of this manoeuvre....
Pro-Ukraine internet warriors always call out the Russian security assurances in the Budapest Memorandum, but neglect to note that the Ukrainian Declaration of State Sovereignty specified neutrality.
"but neglect to note that the Ukrainian Declaration of State Sovereignty specified neutrality." What is written (translation) in it: "The Declaration established the principles of Self-Determination of the Ukrainian Nation, Rule of the People, State Power, Citizenship of the Ukrainian SSR, Territorial Supremacy, Economic Independence, Environmental Safety, Cultural Development, External and Internal Security, and International Relations." One important part to notice is, that even when it says "Self-Determination" meaning they can determine themselves what they want, their hands are tied what comes to EURO, as it dictates "Economic Independence", and you can't be economically independent if you join EU, or you take a euro as your currency. As on that moment Ukraine will take dictations from EU and IMF. And right now, Ukraine has been taking commands from IMF since 2014, that is against their constitution by every government since then. The last democratically elected president was 2010, and he chose to keep Ukraine independent economically by choosing better deal to do business with Russia than EU. And EU and USA didn't like that idea as they lost the power on that moment. So already taking any loans from USA, EU etc for weapons etc, selling land to Black Rock and so on, is violation of their Declaration of Independence, constitution. "The declaration also proclaimed that the republic has intent to become in a future "a permanently neutral state that does not participate in military blocs," and that it would not accept, nor produce, nor procure nuclear weapons." And that right there is as well about the wrong doing part, Russia didn't even suggest any military block with Ukraine as it was against their constitution. But that doesn't matter to NATO (USA + EU etc), as they are the violators, not the Russia. Just getting Ukraine illegally join NATO is great win for USA as they get to threaten Russia. What Russia has demanded, is that Ukraine will honor their declaration of independence and constitution, as well exactly the Budapest Memorandum, that they will not become a part of alliances that open influence to their domestic politics, economy etc. That is what EU and NATO wants. And as well people forget that Budapest Memorandum dictates that signing parties do not intervene at all to Ukraine domestic politics. That is violated by the USA in 2008 by inviting Ukraine to join NATO. That was violated by the USA and EU in 2014 by organizing government overthrow, assassination attempt to democratically elected president and before those even to organizing Ukraine to become member of EU to be under laws and commands from Brussel. Russia didn't do anything of that kind. Their deal was to extend land lease for their naval harbor, in exchange for lower price of the gas and oil. Nothing political influencing, no currency changing, no dictations for Ukraine laws or their domestic power. And Russia didn't even invade Ukraine 2022. That is a myth really. And now people will get angry and upset. But they don't understand that by the UN Charter, the right for self-determination and self-governance is on the people, not governance. The people who own the lands and who live on the land, has the only legal right to decide who governs them. That is corner stone of every democracy, that people choose their representatives and leaders among themselves. No one else can choose who governs the other people. And when a people by themselves want to change governance, become autonomic, become independent... It is the right of the people, not right of the government to deny that. The Vladimir Putin personally asked leaders from Lughansk and Donetsk to hold off their independence declaration, saying that Russia will not recognize such and they need to stay part of the Ukraine. Finally when 2022 Zelensky declared Minsk II treaty invalidated by the Ukraine, a treaty that defined Donetsk and Lughansk autonomy as people wanted in those oblasts, the Vladimir Putin was pushed to corner as he had no negotiation leverage anymore over the leaders of those oblasts to hold off from declaring independence. There was treaty, nothing, to base any diplomatic solution. Because USA and EU made Zelensky cancel those. So Vladimir Putin was forced to accept independence declaration if people in those areas so wished, and they voted again for it, and Russia duma processed it and decided to accept it, that then Russia's president signed as Duma asked. On that signing day (22 february 2022) Donetsk and Lughansk became independent countries, they were separated from the Ukraine. They were two new countries between Ukraine and Russia. And after that as first signing, they signed treaty with Russia as well. And that treaty dictates that if either party request military support when under invasion, other is required to assist in defense. It is not weak like Article 5 in NATO, but it dictates to give it and not just discuss about it. And so on, 24th February DPR and LPR independent countries, requested military support from Russia, that started the special military operation to assist neighbouring country defend against invasion, that Ukraine had doing since 22th February against its two neighbouring countries (DPR and LPR). The UN charter 51st dictates that any member of UN can participate to cooperation defensive actions by first informing UN Security Council about it. And UN charter as well dictates that UN has no power to deny such from happening, there is nothing in the UN charter to act against such actions. In other words, UN General Assembly nor UN Security Council have any legal rights to hold any votes against DPR, LPR or Russia. The Russia informed Security Council by the book, in 24th February 2022 video and as well delivering the message to every Security Council member before the SMO started, it was mere hours before, but it was exactly as the UN Charter dictates it. "Article 51 Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.” The Russia is part of United Nations, the Donetsk People's Republic and Lughansk People's Republic formed collective self-defense by the treaty between those and Russia. Making it completely by the UN Charter. Nothing in the UN General Assembly can deny that self-defense until UN Security Council has taken measures for the peace and security. And this is why UN General Assembly is powerless, because their power is given to them by UN Security Council, not otherway around. The Security Council didn't get its powers from UN members. And this gives the ultimate power play happen only in UN security council, where all five permanent members can dictate everything until they come to agreement. And when DPR and LPR independent people decided to hold referendum with couple other Ukraine oblasts, as UN Charter as well dictates them to have that right, and only they have it - to join Russia. Russia accepting those people and their lands to become part of Russia is 100% by the UN Charter and international laws. There is nothing anyone else can say about it. We - the west, have nothing to say that it was illegal what Russia did, because we have no right to dictate who governs the people living in those areas! It is exactly same thing as a USA would dictate that who is next Chancellor of Germany! Or that Texans would dictate who is the representative in the French government! How many US citizen would accept that a UK people would vote who is the next governor of Texas? We wouldn't accept that, but we don't accept that people in Donetsk, Lughansk etc choose who is their leaders! We don't accept democracy! We do not accept the freedom to those people! We whine, lie and terrorize about those people so they would obey OUR LEADERS, they would be oppressed to be under OUR LAWS! That is like a Chinese people would demand that people in New York would obey the Chinese political party!
It's clear people in the west don't understand Russian politics and how crazy it really is. Putin is the least of our problems. Although his government is anything but formally democratic, he's really quite a moderate politician. Especially in comparison to a lot of other people. Putin is the same guy who wanted to get Russia into NATO and integrate with the west, on the basis of mutual interest and making Iran a common enemy. So ousting Putin would be extremely stupid.
Putins government is far more democratic than the US, Canada, Uk etc. there’s more freedom of press, how many Russian media outlets are allowed to broadcast/publish in the above countries? None, everything was labeled “propaganda” and shut down a long time ago. In the meantime, in Russia where there’s “no democracy” people have free access to ANY western media. Anyone in the west trying to say anything against supporting Ukraine is being cancelled, the “democratic” government doesn’t allow you to know the other side of the story whereas in Russia opposite voices are allowed to be heard, they go to the largest prime time talk shows etc in the west if you support pro-Russia views - you’re in danger of being sanctioned, your properties/assets can be taken away for “wrong thinking”, in Russia foreigners walk free, do whatever they want without fears they get discriminated because of what their government is doing. A simple example, my government has banned all communication with Russia, they banned to sell to Russia, even banned ordinary mail to Russia. So democratic of them, people can’t post mail to their friends and relatives to Russia, in the meantime in Russia no such bans ever existed.
So let's get this right you think America is Democratic. Lmao 😂 I live in Britain and it certainly isn't Democratic. Both Britain and America have sent billions to Ukraine without a by your leave off there citizens. Some Democracys its our money there spending not there's and we don't even get a say in it.
Dr David Martin dismantled machine ofCovid19 and WHO with his M-Cam Institute, where they used money tracking, evaluating law processes etc. to give explanation based on big data, chronology and cause-effect logic to form conclusions, that more than enough for truth seekers. Why not we ask Dr David Martin to put some senate and congress members with finances and committees efforts with comparison to the Ukraine budget and its strong policy for invisible transparency...
Can completely understand this, the leader in Ukraine looks tormented but some there seem so oblivious as if nothing has happened, detached somehow. How can this be?
This guy is the definition evil. Blackwater was killing civilans at the same rate as Israel. He was indiscriminately killing anyone that looked muslim. The fact that he’s not in prison and only got fined is mindblowing
As an American patriot that’s not brainwashed into believing that the USA is a democracy I hope for all the is good that Putin grows in his faith and remains in power but at the end of the day what ever is the will of the god the father is what’s best for humanity. I think that what the USA is, the USA is not a utopia it’s the best possible way to live the most possible healthy life in a fallen world.
Since I was a boy and learned what Stalin and then Hitler and then Stalin again, did to Ukraine I have always been for no more foreign dictators controlling the people there. I know a ballet coach who used to coach the Soviet Olympic team and after the fall he got to the United States and used his experience as a ballet dancer and coach, to coach ballets including the younger girls who had promise and were training to dance with the professional company. He told me on one of our many lunches together how terrible the Soviets were to Ukrainians, including his grandmother who was declared a non-entity. No home, no job no money no one could give her food or water or money, but thankfully many did in secret. So I do support them over Russia, corruption or not. Corruption is rampant in politics and you have no farther to go to find it than the USA, especially Congress. Locally, look to your city council and county supervisors and you will probably already know who is suspected of corruption. But I do believe that this has to stop. I have no doubt that President Trump, when he becomes president in office again, will end it quickly. If the UN was not totally corrupt it would step in the middle and at least make it harder to wage battle. If the UN had been in place in 1863 then there would be a Confederate States of America now, and most of us are glad that reunification took place and that a great healing took place but now Leftists are dismantling that, acting as though those Confederate statues are going to hop down off their pedestals and make black people slaves again as well as killing all the alphabet community.
Every agency in the world knows Ukraine is as corrupt as it gets & nobody was surprised at shit😂..I need me a CASH GRAB !!..where can i get usa clearance on a COUP DE TE!
The man who made those promises had NO authority to do so. Period. Look it up! That "promise" was worthless. The man with no authority took it to the people with authority and they said no. That's that.
I'm a Vietnam Veteran, always believed in my government and supported our actions, believing we were doing the right thing. At 77 years young, my years have learned from experience, my gov't, the one I trusted and believed in, is not the Hero, not the hero riding in on the white horse. We're dirty, driven by men of power and greed. We've toppled more governments than we can shake a stick at, while the whole time saluting the flag and pretending we're righteous and all for good and holy. Not so! and certain elected officials who continuously bang the drum of war, while their cowardly lack of serving themselves, oh, you can't go to Vietnam because you have a sore shoulder..oh, ok, you get a deferment. These are the same people, who if they were trying to take out one of our elected officials or leaders, would demand war. But because we're the US, all we do is blessed by God, even when it's immoral. Sorry LG and DC and BN, that sounds like Iran. I love my country, I love the citizens here, but we are no longer the leader of the free world. But we can still lead by being a moral country, who help other countries when they really need it, not because corporations or it's puppets in Washington need more profit.
Everyone knows what the CI A does . The rest of the world's only request to the COA is please turn your attentions to your own people . America is going through a huge crisis . Sympathies .

In Afghanistan after 20 years and $3 trillion we replaced Taliban with Taliban.
Guys, just look into CANVAS.
They prompted Kyiv for this.
CIA has everything to do with this.
They use NGO's like CANVAS to spread their agenda.
Not only that. Taliban was trained and funded to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. Osama kept sending kisses to the US for all that help.
😂😂😂
I'm afraid that was their plan from the beginning.

As an American citizen i am disgusted by our for ever wars. The military industrial complex is now fleecing our nation's wealth.
But of course it they win the war they will be able to plunder Russia’s gas,grain, and other natural resources. America can then enjoy prosperity at other nations expense just as the British did in the past when they robbed India and Africa.
lol. This conflict is beyond cheap.
No shit!
How do you think your great nation built its wealth over the years? Lol
@@Van1981-xf4vhWhat wealth? They've been robbing Peter to pay Paul since before WW 2. They get Canadian raw resources for nothing, then sue us through NAFTA, but we have to cow under because the USA "protects" Canada. That's a protection racket under the United Fakes of Hysteria's own RICO.

All turned into Rape Rooms by Taliban.
None of it lasted after 1989
Thanks for that..

The US claims they spent 3 trillion in Afghanistan, yet they didn't leave anything other than Guns for Afghans to benefit from. However, the USSR built infrastructures are still being used to this day. Sadly they left guns behind thinking Afghans will continue to kill each other for many years after the US leave. Thanks to the former president was smart enough to prevent that from happening by leaving all power to Taliban.
CIA needs to mind their business and stay out of other countries . Americans did NOT vote for this . Politicians did .
Americans dont vote for anything...
CIA is backing nazis in Ukraine since end of ww2
Yes. Politicians with bought & paid for corrupt agendas!
No. Defence contractors paid politicians to vote for this.
The US is a corportisme society. Big business is running everything, no politicians. Its the most corrupt country in the world if u go buy money volume and the influence they have world wide.
What’s crazy to me is how Americans actually wanted Prigozhin and Wagner to overthrow the Russian government. If that actually happened people would have learned how evil prigozhin actually was and would have made Putin look like a saint in comparison. Prigozhin is a hard ultra right nationalist who wanted total war on Ukraine. And people wanted Prigozhin in power of Russia as if they thought he was going to pull out of Ukraine. No he would’ve probably declared total mobilization and destroyed Ukraine into rubble.
Yup. I remember when Prigozhin wanted the Russian Military to go in and be more brutal and show no mercy.
I've doubts Prigozhin would have managed to consolidate enough power & support to lead Russia. Governing Russia the way Putin is doing it is like orchestrating an army of mini-Putins who prefer falling in line for a stable system. Prigozhin would have not been stable.

"Russia was wrong in invade Ukraine." There are many reasons this is incorrect but the most obvious was the Donbass Region. The Luhansk and Donetsk Peoples Republics are Russian Federation and Russia has an agreement to defend them if they are attacked. Forces were building up since 2014 and Russia performed their POLICE ACTION or Military Operation on the 24th February the day before a mission to genocide the Russian Speakers of the Donbass. Ukraine Borders were never declared to the U.N. in 1991 so technically Ukraine is still Russia.
This isn't exactly true. In 1991 after the fall of the Soviet union a lot of countries voted for their independence and Ukraine is one of those countries. UN recognised Ukraine as an independent country. Yes the area of Donbas was more about being Russian and Ukrainians were horrible to the people in that area. Ukraine was also recognised by Russia before 1991. Stalin tried to genocide the Ukrainians. Look into holodomor. So Russia was in fact wrong in invading the west of Ukraine even if they had their reasons.
He was right when they said "they are idiots" the Soviets used to call them "useful idiots"
you're the smart one
Not once did we ever hear from this administration, that we should negotiate an end to this conflict . Why ? Because a certain 3 letter agency believed very early on that the war would bring down Putin.

Pro-Ukraine internet warriors always call out the Russian security assurances in the Budapest Memorandum, but neglect to note that the Ukrainian Declaration of State Sovereignty specified neutrality.
"but neglect to note that the Ukrainian Declaration of State Sovereignty specified neutrality."
What is written (translation) in it:
"The Declaration established the principles of Self-Determination of the Ukrainian Nation, Rule of the People, State Power, Citizenship of the Ukrainian SSR, Territorial Supremacy, Economic Independence, Environmental Safety, Cultural Development, External and Internal Security, and International Relations."
One important part to notice is, that even when it says "Self-Determination" meaning they can determine themselves what they want, their hands are tied what comes to EURO, as it dictates "Economic Independence", and you can't be economically independent if you join EU, or you take a euro as your currency.
As on that moment Ukraine will take dictations from EU and IMF.
And right now, Ukraine has been taking commands from IMF since 2014, that is against their constitution by every government since then.
The last democratically elected president was 2010, and he chose to keep Ukraine independent economically by choosing better deal to do business with Russia than EU. And EU and USA didn't like that idea as they lost the power on that moment.
So already taking any loans from USA, EU etc for weapons etc, selling land to Black Rock and so on, is violation of their Declaration of Independence, constitution.
"The declaration also proclaimed that the republic has intent to become in a future "a permanently neutral state that does not participate in military blocs," and that it would not accept, nor produce, nor procure nuclear weapons."
And that right there is as well about the wrong doing part, Russia didn't even suggest any military block with Ukraine as it was against their constitution. But that doesn't matter to NATO (USA + EU etc), as they are the violators, not the Russia. Just getting Ukraine illegally join NATO is great win for USA as they get to threaten Russia.
What Russia has demanded, is that Ukraine will honor their declaration of independence and constitution, as well exactly the Budapest Memorandum, that they will not become a part of alliances that open influence to their domestic politics, economy etc. That is what EU and NATO wants.
And as well people forget that Budapest Memorandum dictates that signing parties do not intervene at all to Ukraine domestic politics.
That is violated by the USA in 2008 by inviting Ukraine to join NATO.
That was violated by the USA and EU in 2014 by organizing government overthrow, assassination attempt to democratically elected president and before those even to organizing Ukraine to become member of EU to be under laws and commands from Brussel.
Russia didn't do anything of that kind. Their deal was to extend land lease for their naval harbor, in exchange for lower price of the gas and oil. Nothing political influencing, no currency changing, no dictations for Ukraine laws or their domestic power.
And Russia didn't even invade Ukraine 2022. That is a myth really. And now people will get angry and upset.
But they don't understand that by the UN Charter, the right for self-determination and self-governance is on the people, not governance. The people who own the lands and who live on the land, has the only legal right to decide who governs them. That is corner stone of every democracy, that people choose their representatives and leaders among themselves. No one else can choose who governs the other people.
And when a people by themselves want to change governance, become autonomic, become independent... It is the right of the people, not right of the government to deny that.
The Vladimir Putin personally asked leaders from Lughansk and Donetsk to hold off their independence declaration, saying that Russia will not recognize such and they need to stay part of the Ukraine.
Finally when 2022 Zelensky declared Minsk II treaty invalidated by the Ukraine, a treaty that defined Donetsk and Lughansk autonomy as people wanted in those oblasts, the Vladimir Putin was pushed to corner as he had no negotiation leverage anymore over the leaders of those oblasts to hold off from declaring independence. There was treaty, nothing, to base any diplomatic solution. Because USA and EU made Zelensky cancel those. So Vladimir Putin was forced to accept independence declaration if people in those areas so wished, and they voted again for it, and Russia duma processed it and decided to accept it, that then Russia's president signed as Duma asked.
On that signing day (22 february 2022) Donetsk and Lughansk became independent countries, they were separated from the Ukraine. They were two new countries between Ukraine and Russia. And after that as first signing, they signed treaty with Russia as well.
And that treaty dictates that if either party request military support when under invasion, other is required to assist in defense. It is not weak like Article 5 in NATO, but it dictates to give it and not just discuss about it.
And so on, 24th February DPR and LPR independent countries, requested military support from Russia, that started the special military operation to assist neighbouring country defend against invasion, that Ukraine had doing since 22th February against its two neighbouring countries (DPR and LPR).
The UN charter 51st dictates that any member of UN can participate to cooperation defensive actions by first informing UN Security Council about it. And UN charter as well dictates that UN has no power to deny such from happening, there is nothing in the UN charter to act against such actions.
In other words, UN General Assembly nor UN Security Council have any legal rights to hold any votes against DPR, LPR or Russia.
The Russia informed Security Council by the book, in 24th February 2022 video and as well delivering the message to every Security Council member before the SMO started, it was mere hours before, but it was exactly as the UN Charter dictates it.
"Article 51
Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.”
The Russia is part of United Nations, the Donetsk People's Republic and Lughansk People's Republic formed collective self-defense by the treaty between those and Russia. Making it completely by the UN Charter.
Nothing in the UN General Assembly can deny that self-defense until UN Security Council has taken measures for the peace and security.
And this is why UN General Assembly is powerless, because their power is given to them by UN Security Council, not otherway around. The Security Council didn't get its powers from UN members.
And this gives the ultimate power play happen only in UN security council, where all five permanent members can dictate everything until they come to agreement.
And when DPR and LPR independent people decided to hold referendum with couple other Ukraine oblasts, as UN Charter as well dictates them to have that right, and only they have it - to join Russia. Russia accepting those people and their lands to become part of Russia is 100% by the UN Charter and international laws.
There is nothing anyone else can say about it. We - the west, have nothing to say that it was illegal what Russia did, because we have no right to dictate who governs the people living in those areas!
It is exactly same thing as a USA would dictate that who is next Chancellor of Germany! Or that Texans would dictate who is the representative in the French government!
How many US citizen would accept that a UK people would vote who is the next governor of Texas?
We wouldn't accept that, but we don't accept that people in Donetsk, Lughansk etc choose who is their leaders! We don't accept democracy! We do not accept the freedom to those people!
We whine, lie and terrorize about those people so they would obey OUR LEADERS, they would be oppressed to be under OUR LAWS!
That is like a Chinese people would demand that people in New York would obey the Chinese political party!

It's clear people in the west don't understand Russian politics and how crazy it really is. Putin is the least of our problems. Although his government is anything but formally democratic, he's really quite a moderate politician. Especially in comparison to a lot of other people. Putin is the same guy who wanted to get Russia into NATO and integrate with the west, on the basis of mutual interest and making Iran a common enemy. So ousting Putin would be extremely stupid.
Putins government is far more democratic than the US, Canada, Uk etc. there’s more freedom of press, how many Russian media outlets are allowed to broadcast/publish in the above countries? None, everything was labeled “propaganda” and shut down a long time ago. In the meantime, in Russia where there’s “no democracy” people have free access to ANY western media. Anyone in the west trying to say anything against supporting Ukraine is being cancelled, the “democratic” government doesn’t allow you to know the other side of the story whereas in Russia opposite voices are allowed to be heard, they go to the largest prime time talk shows etc in the west if you support pro-Russia views - you’re in danger of being sanctioned, your properties/assets can be taken away for “wrong thinking”, in Russia foreigners walk free, do whatever they want without fears they get discriminated because of what their government is doing. A simple example, my government has banned all communication with Russia, they banned to sell to Russia, even banned ordinary mail to Russia. So democratic of them, people can’t post mail to their friends and relatives to Russia, in the meantime in Russia no such bans ever existed.
Putin is one of the most pro western politicians in Russia. But NATO doesn't need partnership, they need submission.
So let's get this right you think America is Democratic. Lmao 😂 I live in Britain and it certainly isn't Democratic. Both Britain and America have sent billions to Ukraine without a by your leave off there citizens. Some Democracys its our money there spending not there's and we don't even get a say in it.

Why not we ask Dr David Martin to put some senate and congress members with finances and committees efforts with comparison to the Ukraine budget and its strong policy for invisible transparency...
We need to point at the most evil people of this world. Eric is literally one of them, If you look at his actions.
It is all about dirty filthy money...
What about the Budapest Memorandum?
What NATO did in 99 in Iugoslavia???...defense?!....NATO it's a political weapon
This man has a lot of blood on his hands. Patrick needs to expose this........
Russia was wrong to invade in 2022. They should of invaded in 2014.
No they had to prepare
Can completely understand this, the leader in Ukraine looks tormented but some there seem so oblivious as if nothing has happened, detached somehow. How can this be?
This guy is the definition evil. Blackwater was killing civilans at the same rate as Israel. He was indiscriminately killing anyone that looked muslim. The fact that he’s not in prison and only got fined is mindblowing
😂😂😂They should ask Napoleon and Hitler about their experiences in Russia😂
And you should find out from Finnish, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Poles and Ukrainians their experience of Russia.
The CIA's point man was Alexi Navalny
What happened to Prigozhin?
@@PWIJsneus Pride
They now have Vladimir Karamuza
As an American patriot that’s not brainwashed into believing that the USA is a democracy I hope for all the is good that Putin grows in his faith and remains in power but at the end of the day what ever is the will of the god the father is what’s best for humanity. I think that what the USA is, the USA is not a utopia it’s the best possible way to live the most possible healthy life in a fallen world.
Since I was a boy and learned what Stalin and then Hitler and then Stalin again, did to Ukraine I have always been for no more foreign dictators controlling the people there. I know a ballet coach who used to coach the Soviet Olympic team and after the fall he got to the United States and used his experience as a ballet dancer and coach, to coach ballets including the younger girls who had promise and were training to dance with the professional company. He told me on one of our many lunches together how terrible the Soviets were to Ukrainians, including his grandmother who was declared a non-entity. No home, no job no money no one could give her food or water or money, but thankfully many did in secret. So I do support them over Russia, corruption or not. Corruption is rampant in politics and you have no farther to go to find it than the USA, especially Congress. Locally, look to your city council and county supervisors and you will probably already know who is suspected of corruption. But I do believe that this has to stop. I have no doubt that President Trump, when he becomes president in office again, will end it quickly. If the UN was not totally corrupt it would step in the middle and at least make it harder to wage battle. If the UN had been in place in 1863 then there would be a Confederate States of America now, and most of us are glad that reunification took place and that a great healing took place but now Leftists are dismantling that, acting as though those Confederate statues are going to hop down off their pedestals and make black people slaves again as well as killing all the alphabet community.
I could listen Erik Prince all day.
I read that most of the aid money has stayed in the US.
When such a person says: stop spending money on war. It costs a lot.
If the Ukrainians have showed anything to all of us, then it is that they fought better and bravelier than anything we have seen since WW 2.
Every agency in the world knows Ukraine is as corrupt as it gets & nobody was surprised at shit😂..I need me a CASH GRAB !!..where can i get usa clearance on a COUP DE TE!
I will never watch another one of your segments after hosting Erik Prince
Thanks for telling the truth…. Some people are delusional about this proxy war 🤦🏾
The man who made those promises had NO authority to do so. Period. Look it up! That "promise" was worthless. The man with no authority took it to the people with authority and they said no. That's that.
I like this guy Erik very straight forward very down to earth and yes everything he says makes sense 👍
Erik Prince is a smart man. I enjoy listening to him.
I'm a Vietnam Veteran, always believed in my government and supported our actions, believing we were doing the right thing.
At 77 years young, my years have learned from experience, my gov't, the one I trusted and believed in, is not the Hero, not the hero riding in on the white horse. We're dirty, driven by men of power and greed. We've toppled more governments than we can shake a stick at, while the whole time saluting the flag and pretending we're righteous and all for good and holy.
Not so! and certain elected officials who continuously bang the drum of war, while their cowardly lack of serving themselves, oh, you can't go to Vietnam because you have a sore shoulder..oh, ok, you get a deferment. These are the same people, who if they were trying to take out one of our elected officials or leaders, would demand war.
But because we're the US, all we do is blessed by God, even when it's immoral. Sorry LG and DC and BN, that sounds like Iran.
I love my country, I love the citizens here, but we are no longer the leader of the free world. But we can still lead by being a moral country, who help other countries when they really need it, not because corporations or it's puppets in Washington need more profit.
Erik Prince didnt want any smoke from the Wagner forces!
Ask a guy who is not in the CIA what the CIA is doing because he was a Navy SEAL. Well done PBD.
Everyone knows what the CI A does . The rest of the world's only request to the COA is please turn your attentions to your own people . America is going through a huge crisis . Sympathies .
80% of that money is going to end up in the US economy (military supplies), Patrick. And try to say you don't know that!
Interviewer thinking : "Damn... I can´t find Ukraine on a map eighter !" 😂
Who is giving guarantees he stops in Lugansk??? You ?
I know where Ukraine is. I do not agree with you and I would debate you. I wish that I could interview this guy.
Bro I'm from Pakistan this man talking some real shit 🔥🔥
This gentleman is amazing
This guy sounds really smart and not as bad as advertised also sounds like Russia isn't as bad as portrayed in the media, I know he nailed Lindsey Graham as the warhawk and instigator as I've always thought
I can tell you this. Because of Erik Princes' credentials, if I were Ever in a life or death situation, this man is whom I would hope would head the extraction team.
Now this guy is logic! Why cant our world leaders be like this.... especially America!
Prolonged wars that go nowhere are perfect for the military industrial complex...?
do we truly really believe that Erik’s portfolio is completely void of shares ? 😂
Its more like 0.0001% that directly controll things, which is 800 in number. certainty not 1%.
The people overthrew their government in 2013-2014. Eastern Ukraine had ties to Russia.
I’m tired of my tax dollars going towards another useless country how is it our problem we need to just let Ukraine deal with there own war
He’s not a dictator. He was elected overwhelmingly.
