Ukraine Just Doomed Itself | Prof. Michael Rossi

- Ukraine's incursion into Russia might not be a game changer the way the Collective West is hoping for, but it might well be the beginning of a new phase in the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine. Russia's last peace offer is now (probably) off the table and the Afghanisation of Ukraine is one step closer, but maybe not the way the neocons were hoping for. Listen to Dr. Michael Rossi explain the grand-strategic situation after the Kursk incursion.

Dr. Michael Rossi is a lecturer at Rutgers University in New Jersey where he teaches political science and international relations, focusing especially on the connection between culture and politics. He is also the host of a UA-cam channel “Michael Rossi Pol Sci”, on which he keeps publishing very valuable primary sources in the form of uncommented speeches and press releases from the Russian state, making those video documents available to many more people in the english language.
Let me put this as simple as possible... I'm a 54 year old British born guy and never would I have imagined that the United States would treat Europe like they have treated the Middle East.
The result is the same... chaos, refugee crisis, death and destruction.
USA has been bulid on violance, what friends with USA will end up on Violance form, europe has to realise this, their ecomony, politics and social is based on Violance, slavery and expoitation of theirs.
I am a 50 year old British-American, and I disagree. Europe forges it's own destiny. The US just renders support where needed.
Correct, because Middle East with oil reserves land, unlike Europe that willing to die for the States no matter what!
@@ActiveDodger wrong the puppets of the United States!
@@ActiveDodger if "Europe forges their own destiny" then Ukraine would had made peace in 2022, more or less. US interests do not give direct orders, but they make things go their way.
We forget that 84 % are not any longer for the Western hegemony. It is shifting to a multipolar world.
We, the Sodom 2.0 baby killing drug addicts of the world never had hegemony!
Wrong. The American empire still holds over 60% of the world's GDP and even more so of the high tech. This is not changing.
Only China is a plausible rival and its growth is halting, while politically and militarily it has hardly ever contested American domination.
Even now, with Russia clearly struggling, fighting the entire American empire by itself, China stands idly by.
You can't deal with an aggressive, militaristic, Manichean empire, other than contesting them with force, which China refuses to do.
Russia meanwhile allows the empire to wage a war against it, while pretending it's not so. It's hardly a proxy war, when the proxy is fully armed, organized, financed, led, trained, provided for with C4ISTAR...the empire thus openly attacks Russia, bombing, targeting its assets and Russia doesn't retaliate. In doing so, they're only emboldening potential future American intervention. Why not? Empire escalates, Russia backs down like a third rate power. This is a demonstrable pattern. If Russia so far has done nothing to respond to the empire's aggression, what would it do if the US went all in with its air force for example?
@@johngod1680You seriously misunderstand both the Chinese and the Russians.The Chinese are FAR from inactive and only appear to be so.As for the Russians,they for the moment have only two options.Fight the way they are now,hoping the Anglo American empire does not escalate which would push Russia to actually use nuclear weapons,thereby bringing about the end of the empire but also seriously harming Russia.
@@johngod1680 We control nothing. The world is not going to bow to us nor should it! This evil empire was sent packing by lightly armed goat herders with rusty old rifles.

@@johngod1680 Contesting them with force? Says who? You liberal emasculated anti gun make feminist manginas?
Did you notice there was a protest in Germany against the placement of American missiles in Germany? Some were waving the Russian flag!
We also protest in Italy. We don't want to become a target for anyone. We want to be sovereign in our land. The real threat to world peace is the United States, they should stay at home and solve their problems instead of dragging every country they touch into misery.

Protest sponsored by Russia. Half the people probably didn't know what was going on, they just don't want war.
The comparison with the Afghanistan invasion is not valid. Russia is not only a capitalist economy now but also it has the second biggest economy China as its ally.
It's not really capitalist, and China is not the second largest.
It is THE largest.
China is number 1 real economy, not vapor ware Elon-mask-economy
serf
China as ally. Okay you may with China help get the land your after. After that you are China's slave.
Russia is also on track to become the 4th largest economy on its own. Russia owns the world's largest known reserves of $90T of natural resources
Rule number 1: If your "allies" don't dare to fight, but they ask you to fight. Something is wrong. They are not your allies. You should not fight their proxy war.
It's not worth dying for US/NATO/globalist interests.
Rule number 2: Never forget rule number 1.....
"Wenn Ihre „Verbündeten“ sich nicht trauen zu kämpfen, Sie aber darum bitten, dann stimmt etwas nicht."
Wahrscheinlich stimmt schon nicht, dass jemand die Ukraine gebeten hat zu kämpfen?
Was man den gestorbenen Ukrainern danken kann ist die Erkenntnis, dass man nicht die Millionen Tote wie im WWII braucht, um eine seit Jahren quasi an Ort und Stelle verharrende Front ziemlich unverändert zu lassen.
Alles was ich weiß ist jetzt eine fast 80 Jahre alte Erinnerung. Meine Mutter war eine von der Sorte die glaubte, dass kein deutscher Soldat einen Meter deutschen Bodens freiwillig aufgibt und deshalb wartete sie bis der Donner der Kanonen nicht mehr zu überhören war.
Die Soldaten, mit denen wir auf einem Einspänner mitfahren durften, waren auch noch recht gut zu Fuß und sogar unglaublich schnell im Gras verschwunden, als jemand "Tiefflieger" rief.
Den Wettlauf Richtung Berlin hatten wir gegen die Rote Armee übrigens ziemlich knapp gewonnen.

This completely misses the issue of the genociding of the Russian speaking (Russian) Donbass people murdered by the Kiev regime since 2014.
Many westerners doesn’t know that ..
Most of the west thinks that Russia out of nowhere suddenly invaded Ukraine in 2022 while they are in dark about the horrors the Ukrainians committed against the eastern ethnic Minorities in Donbas since 2008.
Remmer that fire in Odessa where 40 people burnt to death and nobody tried to stop the fire and save them?
My mother shared a room in a hospital with Ukrianian woman from Donbas. That is exactly what she said about genocide and reasons of Putin attacking.
@@Duchodso1 I have a Russian speaking friend from Donbass and her story is the same. Her granny lived near Mariopul but she refused to leave. She is fine now
Ummmm...you do remember that Russia created this war and there was NO murder and there is still NO murder. Go do the dishes.
Kursk is a reflection of NATO's involvement rather than Ukraine's strength
Nonsense.
Indeed, NATO cant cope with a professional army, they can only get the easy results they seek against civilians, so that's where they focus their forces.

According to many experts, this is exactly what Russia has been saying all along. That the expansion of NATO makes an attack on Russia more likely, if not the strategy all along.
It’s no secret that the US wants to break up Russia as it would make it much easier to pressurise the independent provinces to do the US bidding. It also makes it more difficult for China to form relations however the Empire is dying and it’s a dangerous time.

Nobody is seriously going to invade or attack Russia, They have 5500 necluar weapons. Nato is not a threat to Russia and Putin knows that. It is all a nonsense. This is just an embarrassment to Putin.
Considering the legacy of the 1941-1945 German invasion a Russian response was a foregone conclusion. If Putin had no invaded he would have been replaced. This leads me to believe that US/NATO expansion was designed to egg Russia on to a conflict.
@@opheliaelesse but the grass does not die
I will help you with more news.
The attention is always focused on Kursk, but that is completely unimportant
The second phase of the Ukrainian/Nato offensive is now underway towards Kursk.
And the Ukrainians continue to waste men and material in their advance to the east and concentrate. Best troops on this task.
I understand that they have been receiving extra attention since yesterday afternoon because they have to leave Kursk....
Because they have no business there...
There have been and are still ongoing several Ukrainian attacks. So far without great success.
Now the most important thing comes namely the Donbass, In the direction of Kupiansk, the Russians are advancing west of Pishchane and are only a few kilometers from the river, which would effectively split the front into two parts.
Towards Toretsk, Russian images show they have secured the southern "Artyema" mine.
After the Russian advances south of Zalizne, the threat of encirclement became too great for the Ukrainians, forcing them to withdraw.
Heavy fighting is currently taking place in the village of Nelipivka, located between Novgorodskoye (formerly New York, which was already liberated the day before yesterday) and Zalizne.
The Russians continue to advance in the direction of Pokrovsk and are now directly in front of Novohradivka.
According to some pro-Russian sources, the first Russian soldiers are already in the village.
The Russians are also continuing their attacks south and fighting for villages west of the Karlivka reservoir is expected to begin soon.
If the Russian forces manage to reach and liberate the front and the city of Pokrovsk, it will be over for the Kiev Regime.
Kursk is merely a distraction for the Western mainstream media.
No, I am not a Russian troll, I am a Dutchman who uses his brain and has been following events since 2014.
Have a good afternoon,👍🏻
If you think the east is more important you read too many bot comments and too much propaganda, because the whole idea of Kursk is to make the east not matter. It was actually the best and only option they had available. It will take many, many months to clear this. Until the potential for new fronts opening (which is guaranteed now) the north is far more important. Bots and propaganda has now accepted how weak Russia is in the north. It isn't stabilised, advances are still happening and when new fronts are opened there is only one weak line to defend.
Supply being an issue is just totally brainless from the bots and propaganda channels, especially referencing Germany - people are actually believing that the Germans failed as the supply lines were 15km long? There are supply lines hundreds of km long in the east, and it has not led to collapse.
Writing what the bots are saying in a much longer way then claiming to use your brain is funny. 😂
👍☮️
The claim they are about to collapse and be kicked out is propaganda. The news they are shipping men from Kaliningrad was the important news this week and revealed the 50k soldiers in the north don't exist and the situation is critical and has the potential to lose further territory. Russia would not take away troops from their warm water European port and leave that undefended unless they *really* had to.
How's the weather in Moscow vatnik ? 😅
I am pro Russia but people have not accepted that once all the invasions are finished, probably 3 crossings to go - all the world will begin pressure on Russia to negotiate immediately, turning international opinion against them as they won't make peace. The plan will probably fail but it literally was Ukraine's ONLY possible strategy that has ANY potential of getting back land in the east.
WTF?? an incursion of Kaliningrad from Ukraine? Well Prof Rossi, may I suggest attending kindergarten geography 101?
He's saying Poland will allow UAF to move through like Russias incursion from Belarus. I don't put anything passed NATO
Also Prof. Michael Rossi thinks there could be a reason for Russia to now accept a deal. I believe that after Kursk, Ukraine sealed its fate and there will no longer be a Ukraine.
Russia is dominating so completely that it is unreasonable to think that Russia will be subordinate to NATO/USA.
Russia will dictate the terms after it over runs Kiev.
Zelensky will swing like Mussolini.
Material aid from the US and Europe has its limitations. One day the West will have nothing to offer and Ukraine will be without resources. And it is logical that the West cannot afford it. Both financially and logically.
The armies of the Western countries must have their own supplies, for a possible war. I see this situation clearly for Russia.
Ukraine has no chance.
And the pressures from inside Ukraine, against the Zelensky regime, will increase. Ukrainians are not interested in dying for American arms companies paying puppets in the state leadership. Ignorance of the Slavic nature will take revenge on you Anglo-Saxons.
teach a man to fish?
@@AprMonkeyKing Try to say something to the point. Specifically.
What "Slavic nature", exactly? Is it the Slav's nature to deliberately let his country get swallowed by a leviathan?
Poles, all Slavs to the last bone in their bodies, vehemently oppose the Putinist madness, as does virtually any non-Russian Slav, because all Slavs in the world have been hard done by the Russian daydream that they could subjugate the East. The fact that Ukrainians don't want their country to get genocided is what you need to focus on, not worry about supporting the winner. BTW, even if Putin wins, there will come a time when that sad dwarf will eventually be changed, and hopefully the next guy along has more than a cavity of lukewarm air atop his shoulders.
You also conveniently neglect the fact that Russians don't really want to die for a vainglorious war intended to satisfy the internal-Russian war machine and oligarchs, either. Really, no one wants or needs this war. So why, why? Why do Ukrainian cities need to be levelled to the ground? Just how unreasonable is all this, needless suffering...? Have you seen it...?
He doesn't take into account that the West ie. the US will not be main world arbiter for a long time...He overlooks that the US is in an irreversible decline!
China is not your friend.
Explain how you see the US as in irreversible decline. I'd like to contrast this with, as an example, the complete collapse of the Chinese demographic structure.
@@matthewobrien7326 Well so called woke ideology is an obvious sign of decadence in the society as a whole. I remember a professor of political science with a PhD in US politics also told us that the US is in decline. It was 7 years ago. Then he compared it to British decline, and how they didn't see it when signs were already there. Then this move towards dedolarization. Signs are there....
@@1952bane Okay, the "woke" ideology is a meaningless phrase. The US has 5 of the 10 strongest air forces on earth, the strongest navy by a factor of 12, and we can project power in a way no other nation on earth can.

@matthewobrien7326 USA 🇺🇸 is bankrupt, lost control of its borders, and crime and drug abuse are out of control. RIP USA

Point of correction, AMerica cannot take this kind of war in Ukraine for one week, and Russia is not carpet-bombing Kiev as the US did in Iraq.
Exactly! And also USA has never in the recent history destroyed another country alone. USA was in coalitions and the attacked country was isolated completely from the other world. Ukraine would collapse in weeks if all the weapons, money, intelligence, advices, support from the West just stops. And that is the Ukrainian and the western opinion.

@@barrygyles2211 How can you consider Putin intelligent when his actions suggest an indifference to peace and economic stability? The following outcomes have resulted from the war:
Economic Strain: The Russian economy has been severely impacted by the war and resulting sanctions, leading to inflation, a shrinking GDP, and a more difficult economic environment for Russian citizens.
International Sanctions: Russia is facing severe international sanctions, which have caused significant economic challenges and diplomatic isolation from much of the West. These sanctions have hit critical sectors like finance, energy, and technology.
Diplomatic Isolation: The war has caused a significant deterioration in Russia’s relations with Western countries, forcing Russia to seek closer ties with countries like China and Iran for economic and military support.
Strengthening of NATO: An unintended consequence of the invasion has been the strengthening of NATO. Finland and Sweden have moved to join the alliance, increasing NATO’s presence near Russia’s borders.
Ukrainian Unity: The invasion has united Ukraine more than ever before, bolstering its national identity and resolve to resist Russian aggression.
Military Setbacks: Russia has encountered significant military setbacks, including the failure to capture Kyiv, the loss of Kherson city, and a stronger-than-expected Ukrainian resistance bolstered by Western military aid.
You and many others seem to be misinformed. NATO as an organization does NOT send troops or weapons directly to Ukraine. However, some NATO member countries do provide military, financial, and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. These actions are taken by individual nations, not by NATO as a collective entity. There’s an important distinction between the two.

If the west knew it's likely it would have been leaked to the media like everything else though.

Perhaps why Russia is not making as big territorial gains as would be expected could be that they only wish to hold onto areas that are Russian leaning. Their best scenario would be Ukraine to agree to not join NATO and for elections in Ukraine. It would be too difficult to administer the remainder if it remains against Russia with a huge diaspora that could return and fight years later.
I can absolutely guarantee that virtually nobody in the diaspora would ever think of returning to the point of origin in a hopeless bid to defend it. Not in a million years or for ten seconds.
@@severianmonk7394 Perhaps you misread it? If there is a negotiated settlement with parts administered by Russia and a relative peace in terms of between Russia and Ukraine. A sizeable amount of diaspora would return to rebuild their lives and their country however they would unlikely settle with losing parts of their country. There's likely to be some civil strife and also further tension ahead on any new borders. Your comment seems focused in the now in the current context. How about when it's temporarily settled, people return, including men and teenagers who come of age?
you do understand that wars with Russia were never about territorial gains right? this war ends when one society is so depleated it can no longer muster a fight. not before. and Ukraine is running out of men. Russia is not. and at the current pace of fighting pretty much wont even if this war goes on for ever
@@catadoxas Agree with your assessment
The notion that the West brought USSR on its economic knees is sheer nonsens..
In direct comparison a Capitalistic organised economy versus a Centralised organised one the first appeared (temporarily) better.
Its flaws, of which extreme inequality of income and social participation are most striking, are now coming to the surface.
Massive social unrest will undoubtedly lead to highly needed and probably brutal corrections..
Implosion of Western Capitalism will certain not pass as peaceful as the USSR early 90'ties..
Sounds like you are all set to celebrate that
Bro, you didn't live in the USSR, you haven't even got the faintest notion what you're talking about. If you had lived in the sty, you'd know it ain't what it's made out to be. Inequality exists, but the USSR didn't stand a chance. BTW, if people aren't allowed to vote, aren't allowed a passport, aren't allowed to leave your country at all unless they're high-ranking staff, and will get thrown to the pigs if they try any form of free expression, that's a sign that something it deeply, deeply screwed about your country. It was only a matter of time before some rotten hell like that fell apart by itself anyway. A person with a brain between his ears would have shown up at some point to fix all that.

do you see the slow response of moving troops to kursk. only east of sudzha is like 5k russian troops. rest is small pockets that get surrounded in north and west. they take the kursk nuke power plant they can shut off power to 5 regions in russia for the winter. think of the economic damage from that by itself. and the beauty is there is rivers to the north where if the bridges blown, russia cant cross them so they only have to worry about the eastern flank.
Another solution, it may be "ala germany", dividing in East, West Ukraine, being the west closely supervised to be neutral and not be threat anymore to Russia national security.

The trouble with the Regan out spending strategy is that it didn't stop, too many people get rich from it even when it no longer serves the nation, or is actually detrimental to it. America doesn't think that it could be bankrupted by military spending like the Soviet union was.
It might not have stopped but it slowed down during the 90s and even during GWOT in the 2000s with the % of gdp spending on the military dropping after the Cold War ended. They called it down sizing in the 90s thanks to the Clinton administration which left the US in a weaker military position after 9/11.

Good description of american EXCEPTIONALISM👍
This is a good conversation, but both Pascal Lottaz and his guest Michael Rossi missed something important. When Israel invaded and began tearing Gaza apart, no one wanted to talk about the Ukrainian War anymore. And now that Ukraine has attacked Kursk, invading Russian territory, no one wants to talk about the Middle East anymore. There is a seesaw effect, creating opportunities for diplomacy first in Europe and now in the Middle East. The problem is that these windows that would allow for pacification in one region or another are being wasted, because Netanyahu and Zelensky are unwilling or unable to accept any kind of peace. Business as usual of war creates the seesaw, throwing attention and perception from one side to the other, but does not find a permanent solution to the Ukrainian and Zionist problem.
Can't you follow both? You can if you're interested.
This is merely a battle. Cluster lost and died (for our sins) at Big Horn. Please understand, it was a battle. Not a war! Who controls North America? Not Sitting Bull's progeny.

Ikraine is the king without clothes while NATO and USA are the seamstress selling him the invisible gown.
Very vvery clever metaphor
And your friend Putin is just a piece of shit (sorry, i am not as poetic as you are)
Putins words have been proved correct by NATOs actions. If Ukraine hadn't been occupied then it would have ended up with full NATO membership..rather than beneficial neutrality that every treaty since their independence stated. Interfering with the internal politics of Ukraine shows it was the US that broke the Budapest Accords.
This. Clear as day. 💯💯💯
If Ukraine would have been part of NATO, this war would not have happened.
Yes, i can see the "BENFICIAL NEUTRALITY". Its very beneficial for the ukrainians...right?
Putin is a lying coward😂🤣
Austria should not have annexed Bosnia in 1908, then Prince Ferdinand would not have been shot.
The annexation was an *effect,* not a cause.
What caused the annexation was the encirclement strategy of the Entente powers, starting with GB-France in 1904, and Russia joining up 1907.
Serbia was used as "buck catcher" by bigger powers, as a "useful friend", and Belgrade had a "Greater Serbia"-agenda for Bosnia.

How many people have seen video of Zelensky dancing as a cross dresser?
The Soviet Union was not going bankrupt. The idea that Reagan somehow caused their breakup is a self-serving American fairy tale. The Soviet economy was doing okay -- not growing very fast, but okay -- until the last two or three years when Gorbachev tried to fast-track perestroika. This backfired and caused numerous problems. Then Yeltsin and "shock therapy" took over and caused a depression worse than the Great Depression of the 1930's, not only in Russia but in most of the other former Soviet republics as well.
The Soviet Union moved away from Communism and then broke up due to a political crisis of legitimacy, mostly among its ruling "apparatchik" stratum, not an economic crisis.
The USSR's intervention in Afghanistan was _also_ pretty much the exact same imperial cat's paw project. The US infamously facilitated Operation Cyclone in the _EARLY 70s_ arming/training the mujahideen in Afghanistan via the Pakistani ISI (also see: Iran Contra, BCCI, Safari Club, etc.) in order to _"give the USSR its own Vietnam"_ as its cold-warrior architect Zbigniew Brzezinski (whose daughter is "coincidentally" on MSNBC's Morning Joe) put it, provoking the Soviet invasion in '79 after first having denied 10 intervention requests from the government to prevent "regime change" (by self-declared "communist", obv CIA psycho Hafizullah Amin) shortly after the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan established post-Saur revolution. Alexei Kosygin, the Chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers, explains the reason for initial reluctance to Taraki's request for Soviet presence in Afghanistan quite clearly, only caving when the situation was clearly not going to improve otherwise:
_"We believe it would be a fatal mistake to commit ground troops. [...] If our troops went in, the situation in your country would not improve. On the contrary, it would get worse. Our troops would have to struggle not only with an external aggressor, but with a significant part of your own people. And the people would never forgive such things."_
NATO is an arms distribution network for the military industrial complex and essentially the public face of a European sphere of US domination, covertly enforced by a "strategy of tension" of violent social control mediated by corporate-controlled technology (check out Chomsky/Herman's Manufacturing Consent or Inventing Reality by Michael Parenti) seen in things like Operation Gladio in Italy (see: "years of lead", Aldo Moro assassination, Bologna bombings, etc.) with parallel operations in _every_ NATO country (and even non-NATO countries like Finland and Sweden, their recent officialization merely perfunctory) where the CIA directed explicitly fascist paramilitary insurgencies (so-called "stay-behind" armies) to stoke public fear toward particular goals favorable to US corporate/finance capital and continued US hegemony. Its internally recognized geopolitical functionality or raison d'être as succinctly put by its first sec.gen Lord Ismay was to, _"keep the Americans in, the Germans down, and the Russians out"_ and hey, what a "coincidence", it appears to continue to enforce this state of affairs, especially obvious when noting the industrial sabotage of Nord Stream II clearly perpetrated by the US against Germany (a callback to interwar Germany and its imposed separation by Western powers to prevent a socialist-aligned industrial base which the Bolsheviks were _explicitly_ counting on for the USSR project to have any chance at success).
Since I clearly have nothing better to do, let me give a brief sketch of the trajectory of US empire up to now if anyone even reads this/gives a shit lol...
The US has positioned itself as the "consumer of last resort" at the end of the global supply chain to absorb inevitable overproduction of capitalism through cheap consumption or of course through our favorite activity of war/arms sales (military Keynesianism, the only button we can push at this point clearly), launching itself to hegemony post-WWII via imposing the Bretton-Woods international financial system with the US dollar as the "global reserve currency" using the leverage of being the only industrialized nation-state _not_ bombed to shit and taking the imperial baton from the British and their pound sterling, creating the World Bank and IMF which trap nation-states into dependency relationships to perpetually extract rent and maintain "full spectrum domination" over the global working class for the benefit of transnational corporate/finance capital (maintained by regional oligarchies in subordinated nation-states). As Nixon's treasury secretary John Connally succinctly put it, _"The dollar is our currency, but _*_your_*_ problem."_ See: "washington consensus" and its "structural adjustment" policies (hence the emergence of BRICS broadly aligned _against_ this global financial coercion and all that it entails).
To list just a few more "regime change" reference points for the expansion of US empire: Iran in '53 overthrowing democratically elected Mossadegh to prevent nationalization of oil and installing the Shah, Guatemala in '54 to prevent democratically elected Arbenz from mild land redistribution, Sukarno in Indonesia putting in Suharto who would invade East Timor backed by the US, Lumumba in the Congo, the _first_ 9/11 in '73 overthrowing democratically elected Allende with Pinochet's military dictatorship, Operation Cyclone funding/training the mujahideen in Afghanistan to provoke USSR into invasion in the 80s (almost a 1:1 of Ukraine) touched on earlier directly leads into those same mujahideen infamously fracturing into the Taliban and Al Qaeda, "oops" (also funneled into Chechnia in 90s, as Putin surely knows) - my god this is merely the _tip_ of the imperialist iceberg - and this is of course _besides_ the overt depravity of Korea (killing ~20% of its population; two US generals - Dean Rusk and Charles Bonesteel - dividing Korea along the 38th parallel and even maintaining the prior Japanese imperial management from Japan's occupation in WWII, much like how the US maintained effectively all of the Nazi leadership in West Germany, Reinhard Ghelen running the BND, Klaus "butcher of Lyon" Barbie utilized in Operation Condor in South America, etc. etc.), Vietnam (including Cambodia, Laos, with the intention of "containing China" as revealed by Pentagon Papers), propping up Chang hai Shek's military dictatorship in Taiwan while smuggling heroin out of the "golden triangle", etc. etc...all this stuff is directly connected to a continuity of history charted by tidal material interests (ie _class_ conflict) that have established a centuries long entrenched imperial latticework around the world via colonialism,maintained for the interests of the ruling capitalist class within these
Israel is a settler-colonial bulwark to protect oil and the trade routes for oil like the Suez Canal, e.g. by tempering Egyptian opposition like Nasser who nationalized the Suez Canal; originally established by the British empire, post-'67 being subsumed firmly into the imperial patron of the emerging US hegemony. So long as its existence is predicated on this settler-colonial conquest and subsequent apartheid, "peace" is utilized merely as a mirage to gain further concessions of land/control, hence "iron-clad" US complicity in arming and covering for their ongoing genocide.
The entire "middle east" (West Asia) region was carved out of the former Ottoman empire post-WWI, as the Bolshevik revelation of Sykes-Picot secret treaty revealed which exposed the French, British collaboration drawing these borders with czarist Russia's assent and betrayal of the promise of sovereignty offered to Arab rebels that overthrew their prior Turkish rule (also see: the so-called "great game" for colonialization of the region); hence Arab state collaboration that continue to exist to this day, with the only exceptions being Iran post-'79 (overthrowing the CIA/MI6 installed military dictatorship of the Shah mentioned earlier) and Syria which the US is currently occupying 1/3rd of and as current NSA Jake Sullivan bluntly put it to Hillary Clinton in a wikileaked e-mail, _"AQ_ [Al Qaeda] _is on our side in Syria"_ in the form of Al Nusra and other "moderate rebels" (actual euphemism), Operation Timber-Sycamore funneling arms from NATO-deposed Gadaffi's Libya while also flowing more generally across Africa (Al Shabbob, etc.) destablizing the whole region for imperial management.
_"We'll know our disinformation campaign is complete when everything the American public believes is false"_ - William Casey, -demonic arcon- CIA director under Reagan. Surely he's giving two thumbs up in hell, which is probably hard to distinguish from the world he helped create.
Which is all to say - it ain't "broken", it's *_fixed!_*
It's no coincidence these barely distinguishable factions of the US imperial bureaucracy continue to place the most -fervent passion- money in a firehose to the peripheries of US hegemonic control and it's no coincidence the first and only thing the fossil/corpse known as Joe Biden can come up with when pressed is that he _"brought NATO back together, jack!"_ (paraphrasing lol...) War is a racket, as Maj.Gen. Smedley Butler famously put it, upon reflecting on his role as a _"fixer for the gangsters of capitalism"_ , staunchly backing FDR/New Deal and firmly opposing capitalism.
Nuclear apocalypse is the ultimate destination of endless escalation which thanks to the material interests staked in entrenching global bourgeoisie dictatorship over the global working class achieved under the pretext of the "cold" war (not very "cold" when, say, engulfed in napalm...) happens to be the raison d'être of the US natsec state since its inception; the divine right of "the market", the management of savagery, a means to no ends - where all possibility is strictly bound to profitability and everything and everyone, including the very planet itself, is for sale for the privatized profits of insatiable individual psychopaths who despite having everything only ever want more...
To echo Rosa Luxemburg from interwar Germany, before of course being executed by the freikorps paramilitary (later becoming the SS, shocker) at the behest of Ebert's ostensibly _social democratic_ SPD party, almost immediately resonating the truth of such a succinct political dichotomy to this day:
*_Socialism or_* [continued] *_barbarism._*
I took some time and read it all. Golden comment. Bravo.
There is still hope truth will come out to everyone 🙏
Quite fascinating read.
Sending peace and love to the Russian people, there is a large majority that are brainwashed and support the US government. But there is a minority that know better, the American government is out of control.
The US is at peace with Canada because they couldn't defeat them back then. Ukraine (a country created by Russia) is Russia's neighbour. Russia views Ukrainians as their slavic brothers. Russian does not want to destroy Ukraine.
I think the sibling rivalry has taken over in Russia now and is totally out of control. No fraternal love to be lost by now.

In a war you move as quick or as slow as the enemy lets you. Modern warfare is such that quick advancements are incredibly costly. Much more so than in any previous war. I strongly doubt US could do a blitzkrieg type invasion in any country that's getting even half as much military assistance as Ukraine's getting right now. I mean try envisioning a scenario where the US would try invading Iran with Russia and North Korea (and partially China) supplying them. How well would that go?
Why would they want to?
@@deputyVHWell, ask Bolton and Netanyahu!
I love Neutrality Studies, because the discussions are always so matter-of-fact and sensible. It's hard to find that among ANY of the US establishment media.
I am baffled at this entire interaction. I have never seen as uniform misunderstanding of the entire region as I just watched. Russia did not invade Ukraine to capture a few regions. The Russian economy is not humming along, wartime economies are unsustainable without conquest. People supporting Ukraine are not "sending" Ukrainians back to fight against their will. In a 47:00+ minute video there is not one accurate representation of the conflict. It's just bizarre.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that the assertion the incursion into Kursk "has completely stalled" is also abject nonsense. Just complete and utterly disconnected from reality.
It’s ludicrous to think that NATO would invade Russia. First of all NATO is a defence organisation and every country decide on its own if it wants to take part in attacking another nation and most country’s population would never back an attack on Russia.
19:05 There was a very similar agreement in March and April of 2022 that was being negotiated between Ukraine and Russia, the USA and UK told Ukraine not to take.

Thank you Professor Rossi!
The odd thing is that Reagan didn't have to outspend the Soviets, as collapse was probable without SDI by the mid 1980s. As Fritz Bartel has shown, the debts incurred by most Comecon countries during the 1970s (in order to bridge the gap between public expectations of improving living standards and the increasingly poor performance of command economies) could only be financed at a vast premium once the flow of Western credit was choked off with the Volcker Shock (1980); that meant the Soviets underwriting their allies to an unacceptable extent, whilst holding down civilian investment and living standards at home to do so and subverting the legitimacy of their own system in the process. Then, when the impact of the Volcker Shock eventually led to a collapse in oil prices in 1986, the Soviets were only able to finance their own system by means of inflation (and, of course, they could no longer finance their allies). Soviet collapse followed quite quickly. SDI may have been the cherry on the cake, but it was not the cake itself, and the fact that so many US policymakers keep saying that it was all down to Reagan is partly a species of self-delusion, and partly a way of justifying ever increasing military appropriations at the expense of investment in civilian infrastructure and the welfare of the US people as well as international stability.

Prisoner swaps go on all the time, however, more to Russia's advantage as Ukraine doesn't hold many Russian prisoners. Ukraine acquired some potato fields and missed the main prize of the Kursk nuclear power station. That was their main goal. Over the past 2 weeks Ukraine has lost something like 500 pieces of tech. in the Kursk salient - anything from tanks, AFV's trucks, artillery, anti-aircraft systems. They are being bled white in Kursk. Their best troops and tech. Russia is happy to sit there and let the Ukrainians keep filling the sack with more troops and equipment.

@@gregchijoff9959 Sounds like you think Russia is going to win? I wonder how the Russia people feel about being invaded and displaced?
Here is an endgame:
Russia takes all territory East of the Dnieper - plus Odessa and Transnistria.

And that is the mechanism and Buffer, that separates Russia from Nato.
But effectively, defacto, Russia ends up owning all of Ukraine.
Highly unlikely. Western Ukraine would be twice as hard to take and ten times as difficult to govern.
@@markward3981 Western Ukraine is much less populated and urbanised. There is almost no large industrial zones there aswell to use for defense.
The population of Western Ukraine is very specific. They hate Russians. But, they hate Poles, Hungarians, Slovaks and all others including eastern Ukrainians and even each other. They will sell each other for a cent, same way as they shoot each other right now when somebody tries to flee the country. And at the same time the regions of Western Ukraine are the leaders in draft avoiding statistics,
So, I think Western Ukraine would be much easier to occupy and especially much easier to govern if remember what is happening to the settlements in Eastern Ukraine: they are ghosts of dust and trash, no one lives there. IF Russia would come in Western Ukraine with the war, most of population would forever leave the country to the West as refuges.

This small incursion on a tiny part of the Ukraine/Russia border might demonstrate why Russia was not keen to see Ukraine as a NATO member.
Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity.
In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas.
If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy.
Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements.
Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time
Russia's national security was compromised once NATO began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining NATO was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns.
20th September, 2021: Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO
NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter).
We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.
Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster?
Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest.
Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland.
Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed.
Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”.
Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it.
Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country.
Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list.
Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list.
There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence).
The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present.
Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave.
Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) R.I.P.
The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims).
The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter.
