Challenging the West's Superiority Complex & Erasure of History, w/ Prof. Joseph Massad
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- Mainstream media coverage of the war in Ukraine has sought to erase the U.S. and NATO role in setting the stage for the conflict, the Western history of attacking Russia, and Europe’s violent and racist past and present.
Joseph Massad, Professor of Modern Arab Politics and Intellectual History at Columbia University, joins Dispatches with Rania Khalek to remind us of the hypocrisy and history the West has attempted to erase as it escalates the war against Russia in Ukraine.

Thank you for this excellent and enlightening presentation. I am a 71-year- old American who was raised in the American Midwest, and was educated in public schools. Allow me to list several items which I was taught growing up, and which I believe are pertinent to what was presented here by Rania and Mr. Massad:
The USA is the greatest country in the world.
The USA is the greatest country that has ever existed on Earth.
The USA is a democracy and has the best form of government in the world.
The USA is the pinnacle of civilization.
Americans are the most superior people in the world.
People in other countries should try to be more like Americans.
The USA is the safest country in the world.
The world outside of the USA is a little bit dangerous.
Russia is a very evil country.
Russia is the greatest threat to world peace.
Looking back, I think I was just a little brainwashed.
Dude brainwashing starts when we were in school, especially history classes who are whitewashed to put white Americans on pedestal while other countries are always evil and backward and deserves to be bombed. We got brainwashed big time and of course daily mainstream media just consistently reinforces such disinformation and brainwashing.
using bio weapon to eliminate the native america is very great and civilised culture i suppose according to what you were taught.
and send the lowest society people to other people wars to be killed or injured are the most patriotic too i guess
But US managed to convince the world of the same narrative. It is only lately that many ppl around the world hv woken up to its nefarious designs. The Americans by & large r well meaning but they hv brought into this narrative & never question their Govt when it invades any country. Americans feel that any America invasion will leave the country better that before.
The Russians & Chinese on the other don't trust any narrative being dished out by their govts and hv better & open view of international affairs.
The Western media as well as Citizenry is coming out to be extremely biased and closed minded almost childlike during this current European crisis
Just a little 😉
Well said Thomas. When you're a child you believe and accept anything that you learnt at school. But here is the point, why don't ask yourself and others when you grown up. Why,how, is always America right. In American history only the first 16 years of its so called democratic creation lived peaceful. After that regime and destruction other countries is their main priority.
Those who do not learn from history,
blame Russia.
Not blaming Russia but Putin and Al.
👍 very well said!
@@franciscouderq1100 Putin is only saving his country from NATO who promised back in 1997 that they will stop NATO expansions in Europe….. US didn’t keep that agreement and the promise and they expanded right across an entire Europe and now are using Nazi i Ukraine who are actually killing people on both sides, Russians and Ukraines!!!! Should President Putin just stand by snd allowing lying American government expand NATO all the way to Russian borders????
An entire EUROPE now is a US colony true the NATO expansion that’s almost same as occupation of Europe???? US government needs to pack the hell up and get out of Europe and STOP pushing European people and countries into wars with one another and US government needs to STOP putting it’s puppets in the government as presidents….. we know that all those puppet presidents in European governments are put there by US government….. this evil practice MUST STOP!
US government has had a long and evil run destroying governments and a killing innocent people across the world whilst lying to American people and the people of the world true lying propaganda!!!!! Evil will get punished sooner or later….. everyone’s luck runs out if they keep doing evil!!!
GOD IS GOING TO PUNISH EVIL ONE OF THESE DAYS!
@@franciscouderq1100 Putin is the same man who offered you help during 9/11 . And you are a hypocrite .
Try being a neighbour of Russia. Its alright as an American laughing at Russian aggression and dismissing it as a push back against NATO but for Russia's neighbours Russia is a clear and present danger.
When I was 6 years old my grandpa told me to never believe anything i see or hear coming from that picture box. He was referring to a television. How he knew that is beyond me, cause we didn't have electricity, let alone a television.
I've always remembered that and learned to do research on whatever it may be.
I'm 68 now and have friends in Russia, so thanks to my Russian friends I've been educated somewhat on what Russia is really like, rather than what our main stream media tells the public.
It's discouraging trying to explain to ppl what's really going on in Ukraine. I've pretty much have given up. People believe what they chose to believe, especially when they have been brainwashed by the lying media their whole lives.
I'm praying for the end of this war. Too many lives have been lost unnecessarily.
I was raised with Russians and learned more from them about how the world works over the kitchen table than I ever did in any history classes. They had survived WW2, Stalin, and Hitler. There weren't many historians with street cred like that.
well, we all let it happen, and most of us, not me, even bring the brainwashingmaschine into their living room. Your grandpa must have been pretty badass and ahead of his time. My grandpa was a drunk, but he was also very smart and told me about how the gov. spreads mindvirus (ideologies) through paper and picture. I never believed nor disbelieved him but with time I saw what he saw. But how someone who was an alcoholic for over 40 years and was an active architect (who build the exile house for the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala) could still think straight is still beyond me. I wonder how he would have been without the alcohol. This guy easyly drank 2 vodka bottles in under 2 hours and you wouldnt see that hes drunk
It’s one of the best discussions I’ve listen so far. Being Russian , went through education in Brittan I was shocked how much propaganda there was against unfriendly countries. I was shocked because we growing up didn’t have anything like that. In fact we grew up looking up to and admiring the west
I love Rania!! I believe in the future when the history of journalism and media during these years (Trump, Syria, Yemen, Covid, Ukraine, etc) will be told, figures like Rania will get very high praise because not only their smart and independent approach to reality, but also because of the immense courage they are showing. And if all that was not enough…she’s also beautiful!!
Yep - gorgeous!!!
Total incel response.
Indépendant not so but … views.
At 48:16, there's a problem with the lights -- but she looks great either way.
Yes, icing on the cake. Mmmm. Just humor folks. Not good to be serious allll the time.
Thank you Rania for be among the few who are making your voice heard over the bloodlust and racisms of the Americans. Prof Masad is articulate and well informed about the Western politics. For 600 years the horrendous evil of the west have continued unabated. It is shocking how ignorant and blind the citizens of the west continue to be about the evils of their elite.
Remember, among personnel: civilian [State dept., Doctors, Road builders, Carpenters, Welders, Water, etc...] and military, that did build structures to help.
As for the planners, shadow government, to use people, their own and others, not good.
Decent people do try to maintain the benefit for all.
Thus, empire leaders buy off some regular people with token economic benefits., and to deceive others who might be more aware,

The moors in America are still being attacked by colonist pretending to be americans. not one peep from the whole world. what happens when good people do nothing? I am not black, negro, colored or african american we are the moors as taught to us by prophet noble drew ali we do know the whole truth!
Its appalling to know that many world leader just couldnt listen or hear him out.
What makes you think it's only the elite. The weight of all the climbers is horrendous so those at or near the bottom seek to get out from under as well. We need a different nature.
Rania Khalek is a joy to watch. Her exuberance and good nature is infectious, and she knows how to conduct an interview. I am eager to watch more of her reporting.
All true.
As an American, It is just humiliating the way in which we conduct our foreign affairs, illegal occupations, war crimes, and just the hypocrisy is general completely destroy our reputation around the world as well as undermining and having utter disregard for the morals and values that our country was supposed to have been founded upon. People of course will say “your anti American” and that isn’t true. It’s simply the fact that what is wrong is wrong and there should be more accountability for our actions because we’re not special or exempt from our terrible conduct.
Thanks rania! I am Russian- American,this madness and russophobya very 😡 upsetting, thank you to telling the truth!

We are with You Yelena. Stay strong❣

I am glad there are people like Prof Massad who just show things as it is
This guy is blatantly racist, is that why you love him.
Does that include, The Gulag ?
listen and also read the transcripts to really have the facts down. also, enjoy reading the comments. ❤
@@philiprufus4427I can tell that you don't have a girlfriend.
The truth is like a rod of light it clears the path thank for clearing the path. Excellent journalistic job, and big thank to Prof. Josef Massad.
This was a brilliant talk! Pls invite Prof. Massad more often along with Vijay Prashad.
This man is full of knowledge. Geez. Great work Rania
This guy is right. Being slavic, when I came to western Europe, I was constantly reminded that I am not European, not that white) or so to say - second-rate white. And I wasn't fooled by the anchor, who said that Ukrainians were "just like us, civilised". Remember, he said *relatively* civilised, relatively-something.
Your whole discussion is really spot-on. Thanks for that.
I could have thought, from your name, that you are Finnish? Unless you married one.
totally true. the west does not see Eastern europeans as equals, more like second class citizens.Zelensky is delusional, he does not realize they are just using him.sad thing is that people are dying to to his ignorance
Exactly I noticed relatively in relatively civilized and relatively European. Having lived in Western Europe I know people don't consider Poland, Yugoslavia, Romania, Ukraine, etc European. The same is true when you go south of France. Italians for example are not considered really European or white. Italians and the Irish were not considered white here in the US either.

For sure, a must rewatch for the wealth of information presented in such a concise and digestible manner.
Thank you.
Must remember Professor Joseph Massad - Most Comprehensive to date. Thanks.
Congratulations to Prof. Joseph Massad for providing a thorough and clear historic context of what is going on. The problem is that having watched many interviews in the media on Ukraine, rarely can you find that clarity. So congratulations have to go to you also Rania Khalek for that interview and for providing the questions and the time for mr. Massad to explain. Surely your audience has become richer in understanding the historic context of that conflict. Thanks to both of you and wish you well from Greece
It's a very sad reflection when balanced, rational and insightful analysis such as that in this video is so rare and will probably be dismissed by most because it stands apart from the war psychosis. Excellent video.
hopefully it's a sign that a lot of western free-thinkers are discovering how much more balanced and informed foreign news sources are compared to the shrill and superficial western media.
It certainly brings home how significant internal western prejudice is.
(rational input) The positive outcome will be the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
What drugs are you on? The ‘war psychosis’ is evident in the nation that invade a peaceful neighbour out of resentment and hatred at being rejected. What sort of swine defends Russia while their bombs are ripping apart Ukrainian children?
@@harryflashman4542 Free thinkers? You are just slaves looking for a slave master.
@@davethebrahman9870 I wonder what your thoughts on the US are ?🤔
I want to thank Prof. Massad for his important and interesting historical account related to Russia and the Soviet Union and its relations with Western Europe in the past and leading to the present. I learned a great deal of important information that I had never known before.
If I were you, I would not trust these guys. I am a Russian from Ukraine. Lived in the USSR during Soviet times. I know the reality not from dubious books or biased video programmes, but from my life experience. I have searched for info on this guy: he is most certainly on the payroll from some kremlin gremlins! A real example of a little puppet of kremlin propaganda.

Brilliant stuff. We in NZ follow your channel & your discussions give us encouragement that there are some people who can see thru the endless barage of lies that "our" mass media (in the West) spread across the world. Here in NZ those lies suffocate me & my "co-controvercialists". However BT discussions & your guests help us stand up & oppose in universities the blind & mute academics, the "experts".(some 90%). Kia kaha RK & BT.
А Ви уявіть, що Австралія посилає озброєних людей на північний острів Нової Зеландії, каже, що Північ завжди була Авмтралією. Ваша влада посилає війська, щоб витіснити австалійців з півночі, а вам кажуть, що Ви нацист і Влада Австралії оголошує спеціальну військову операцію against Нової Зеландії.
Imagine, that Australia want to occupy your country, like Russia Ukraine. Its simply to said! But if missiles kills your friends, you'll have another word's
I believe NATO should be dismantled and EU should get together to make their own security decisions and sign documents with Russian.
According to many experts Russia is angry for only two nation were involved with NATO is UK and USA .
Unfortunately there's no real leadership in the EU to know what's best for Europe!
To be America's enemy is dangerous but to be America's friend is fatal!
I've been saying this for years, but unfortunately that's how Corruption works in the system of the Colonial Imperialist Western countries.
NATO pact was created by USA UK to keep Europe and Russia separated
this is the main mission of NATO PACT
Sadly NATO is the plaything and lapdog of its masters UK AND USA
NATO will be dismantled, but not by human hands.
History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. Thank you Rania for a more rational approach to Putin's military action. I hope you've learned that you can despise war, as I do, while realizing that the alternative to war could be even worse for far more people. Putin's actions have caused far less death than what the Ukrainians had caused in the seven years since 2014 (14,000 deaths and many more injured and maimed), and they had planned to take increased action in the Donbas region which could have resulted in the deaths of as many as 60,000 innocent people, and Zelensky was asking for nuclear weapons to be deployed in Ukraine. I am 68-years-old and there have been no military action that can remember which has been taken in a more humane way than what Putin is doing, so to call him an irrational actor is ludicrous. Your willingness to reevaluate your previous stance makes me love you even more. Cheers.
The ratio of hospitals shelled and bombed in Ukraine versus hospitals bombed by the US in Iraq is so far about 39:1. And rather than acknowledge the truth which the captured Russian soldiers have verified that they did in fact target civilian hospitals, the Russian side of course said that it was because soldiers were in those hospitals. Very typical response. Also, is it visible to you that every single apartment building has been destroyed in Kharkiv and Cherniyiv? You really want to only see what you want to see.
@@jamesmedina2062
All those apartment buildings and hospitals were empty of people when they were attacked and were being used by the ultranationalist forces. UN estimated just under 700 civilians killed so far and that number must include civilians killed by Ukrainian shelling in the Donbass as well. If all those hospitals and apartments still had civilians in them that official UN toll would be in the several thousands.
@@vmj361 The estimates are wrong. The actual morgues in different cities are with dead bodies and many more dead Ukrainians than Russians. If you are an intelligent person and if you have any common sense you will not say that Russian cruise missiles launched from hundreds of miles away somehow magically only land on buildings with only ultranationalists. Nevermind. You just proved what is the case with you.
American atom bom are the worst.
@@jamesmedina2062
The estimates are the only ones we have now if anyone has any contradictory information it needs to be very convincing to discredit an authority like the United Nations, the morgues are probably filled with Ukrainian fighters. Cruise missiles were also launched into Iraq and Libya too, I am sure if you asked the senior military leadership of the Pentagon or NATO they would tell you that the missiles were intended for military targets not civilian ones although civilians can still get hit. The norm is to logically target military assets first and there are still plenty of those to hit with missiles if they found them in places like Iraq & Syria & Libya they can find those in Ukraine.
Joseph Massad an outstanding voice we need to hear a lot more from him
Thank you for this upload. Now this needs to be circulated around every corner of the globe
Fantastic interview. We need an awakening in international and human relations. Enough of exploiting and violence. We must strengthen our international and democratic institutions so as no one actor gets away with war crimes, explotation, thievery or murder.
No, thats exactly what we DONT need more of.
UN, NATO, WHO, WEF, even EU are all just corrupt un-democratic blobs working for the world biggest private finance.
What we need is DE-centralization and physical money that can’t be printed infinitum.
What are you talking about, there are many criminals that have gone unpunished like Tony Blair and George Bush. No one sanctioned them and no one is talking about it. No one is talking about it like no one talks about criminal who bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. All we is demonization of Hitler. Stop double standards and brainwashing people.
This was a brilliant interview! That professor nailed it when he called out Western hypocrisy. And I also agree with him that a good swath of America would be okay if they were shown what is done in their name. As long as they get cheap goods they don't give a damn about the human cost overseas. Disgusting but true.
This guy is blatantly racist.
I've examined this. A solid 1/3 of the country would not only be okay with it, they would cheer it and demand it was even not enough. Another 1/3 would basically not be bothered, too busy to care. I forget how the rest of it goes but I'm fairly sure the remaining 1/3 were not all against either.
I agree ! The consent factors involved here resemble how Americans view their sports teams like the NFL or MLB. It’s a tribalism behavior that’s reflected in the truth Americans don’t care if their teams cheat or bully their way into a win just as long as THEY WIN AT ALL COSTS! Forget their integrity comments or words about fair play! That’s all BS. Americans just expect to win and don’t care who’s starving or living in ghettos overseas. In fact they blame those people n their governments for being stupid and corrupt. They ignore the truths about imperialism, economic sanctions and American corporations stealing natural resources of those countries or controlling their markets.
😊😊😊😮😮😅😅😊😅
Like I said up top they would conversely demand more evil be done.
Thank you Rania for an astounding and exhilarating interview/dialogue with Joseph.who in such a short time brought both historical and contemporary facts together, and then linking them into a skillful
expose’ from flow of the history of Odessa, Crimea, Russia, Poland western Ukraine Hungary, Germany and the Imperialist Britain and USA.
The “surprising” alliance’s and
continuous brutal and unremitting “white”
Power in all its shapes and forms divulged
some of the intricacy, and complexity behind
todays Conflict in Ukraine and helped contextualize and bring a greater understanding of it.
Straight forward and revelating, thanks for both of you.
Thank you. Any positive non-demonising Russian expertise is appreciated. 👍🕊🇷🇺🐨
You want to ignore Russia invading its neighbours 🙄

@@grahamt5924Use your brains to think, did u not listen to the interview 😳😳😳
@victortakunda5443 Russia has been a brutal neighbour. They are destroying Ukraine and blaming the West.
An excellent discussion, the Professor's insights are invaluable. Thank you Rania.
Thanks Rania, I couldn't help but leave a msg of thank you. American British leadership is all gone crazy. They just assume nobody new the facts behind the issue, and they wish to shut the world down. Thank you for your courage. Bravo 🤠😁
Prior to Feb 22 Nazism was a real issue in Ukraine as reported in the Media all the time. Integrating Nazi Battalions into the Ukrainian Military is not “ overplaying “ the Fascist card. What if USA accommodated the Ku Klux Klan openly into the USAF? Russians have been persecuted in Ukraine for years and Nazis played a major role in the coup in 2014. Ukraine is not the sort of “ Democracy” we should be flooding with weapons or elevating to a gold standard of morality worth other misinformed people dying or killing for. A pleasure to listen to your very knowledgeable guest. Very thoughtful view point.
Prof. Massad is a gem. Thank you, Rania, for allowing us to get to know this amazing human being...
The best quote that came to my mind about history is from Otto Von Bismarck:
(What We Learn From History is That No One Learns From History)
I think some learn from history and copy the evil side of it even as it was done to them they do it others that never did it to them as in US was colonised it went on to colonies and enslaved people from lands that were not Britain Hitler did evil to the Jews yet the Jewish people Zionist does the same to Palestinians Syrians they copy the evil people from history and make allies of those who were evil towards them, same as USAll EX colonialists are still doing it to African Nations. WWI and Two were Europeans fighting for control of Africa they wanted as all Empires fall so will this one if they want what another country has just buy if for goodness sakes, to control the nations not aligning with them is what US andNATO are doing nothing but evil to the world they never talk world peace but lie about nations like saying derogatory things and the Media are complicit. The Israelis are becoming the second mos evil county in the world today. The British still doing evil lying about history and the present to get their people to do their bidding. They are the barbarians yet blame China Russia African continent Palestine Muslims are the big target now Africa is involved in getting he ex colonisers out of their lives but US and NATO does the wrong killing their leaders saying they are the evil. They will destroy theirselves with their greed and hate. 🌍❤️🌏🌎🌏
the quote seems to be from Georg Hegel
I like the way Rania so often gives her interviewee leeway of opportunity to speak. She is an example of a good broadcaster always pleasant.
Thanks so much for this podcast. His knowledge of Russia and Germany is truly comprehensive, and his insights on Colonial American Foreign Policy from the Iraqi, Afghan and Libyan invasions are extensive. How one views the Russian need to secure the Donbas and avoid Ukraine from being a vassal Nato state is very well explained as well. Thanks again!
"Безопасность Донбасса" это повод для вторжения.
Rania your guest is one of the wise men . Such an education in history . You are a great host , you let your guest speak without interruption , thank you for that. I wish this man was the entire world's history teacher , he is solid gold !
She lets her guest speak!
What they are doing now against Russia is really bad, but just imagine if there's similar kind of immediate conflict/war against China. The racism & propaganda would be at a whole different level. And if you think the Asian hate during COVID was bad & criminal...
True. I've seen Chinese people spat upon here in Toronto.
Disgusting how the West's rallying for the Nazis and their US handlers. Europe in particular is irredeemable. Shame on them! Total moral collapse. That Merkel said nothing when Victoria Nuland aided the Nazi coup in 2014 reveals who Germans really are. Germany should never have been allowed to continue. . . that vanquished land should've gone to the Jews, and the Palestinians would not have had to pay for the moral failures of the German people. We are reliving that mistake. This time, get it right.
Here’s Merkel with her Ukrainian Nazi colleagues. ua-cam.com/video/qTmL2oe6ziM/v-deo.html

If the Chinese and Russians attack America it is pretty much over for the United States. Your hate and racism and propaganda would mean nothing. Climate change would be over because America would be radioactive dust.

I loved the constancy of the approaches, transparency and balance. Not like other "specialists" in the West who know the historical background, but then come up with aberrational conclusions.
Wonderful discussion about Western hypocrisy. You cannot make stuff like this up.
Sure you can. You just watched it being done.
But it sure can be cherry-picked and presented with a strong anti-western bias.
The West has lost it and the rest of the world is sick of their sense of entitlement and exceptionalism. Maybe cutting off from the West would be a blessing. No one will miss them and be better off for it.

Without sucking the lives out of everybody in the global south the west would not survive, referring to the ruling elites of course.
Free d0m and demo crazy won't feed their population would it?
Yes, how many know that the day Ukraine conflict started in February 2022 the US bombed Somalia? You don't know perhaps because the US media ignored it.
can I see official proof of that somewhere.Maybe video.
As usual the west .. is laughable
Of course, the Ukraine conflict did not start in February 2022.
So true, US bomb 💣 Somalia, but all western media hiding it
Why?
Great interview with Joseph. I have watched this repeatedly. Full of astounding facts.
It was such a brilliant interview; conducted with two classy personalities. It was really worthwhile and is a valued reference.
This is so beautiful. George Galloway should have a deep conversation with the professional. Eyes of many are gonna open up and they'll understand the reality. Thanks Rania for bringing Prof Joseph on the show. I learned a lot.

Beautifully articulate and so well informed exposition. Thank you
Hello, I just subscribed to your channel and found the interview with Professor Massad highly informative. It's quite refreshing to listen to an experienced academic who uses factual historical references in world affairs.
Thank you,
The best ever history lecture I attended. A great Guy, I wish he comes every week.👍
Oh I could listen to Prof Massad for hours. What a grasp of history. The downside is that most Americans just can't tolerate the depth of analysis presented here. And that is a true shame since to experience the world in any other way is just so shallow. Thank you for this interview!
As I try to point out to my fellow countrymen, American intellectualism was started by the Puritans and we still have the same old black and white way of looking at the world that underlies our religions and politics. They don't know much about Puritanism so they can't see it and, of course, they would analyze it in black and white terms.
This the best, clarifying, resume explanation of what is happening and why is happenning in middle east, Ukrainia. Wonderful interviwer, brilliant guest.
Wow... amazing what happens when you apply true context to historical events... outstanding work
Very impressed with the Professor's viewpoint
This video is extremely informative, and a pleasure to watch. The huge part of history that has been erased would change much, if widely known. The revelations here are timeless.
This lecture deserve not one thumb up but hundreds. A very good lecture. On the point.
a stunning masterclass in world history.
So many words used to describe reality can make the message hard to access by many. Kind of carrying all suffering of ill treated humans and injustification of actions all over the globe as overarching theme applied on todays events adding complications of matters building a picture of an irresolvable situation hard to grasp for many.
It is always good to hear when people try to put some historical perspective on current events. Thanks for the interview.
One of the best insights into the western hegemony and the genocides they have commited.
Finally the truth about Soviet Communism. Thank you professor. American academic Grover Furr refers to the demonization of Soviet Communism as the 'Anti Stalin Paradigm'. Chomsky was, shamefully, a world leader in this respect. Good work Rania.
It's pretty embarrassing that Chomsky equated the USSR with the USA. Like, it seriously makes me wonder how the he heck was able to write something as cogent as Manufacturing Consent while simultaneously believing everything the US state department told him about the Soviets.
@@guy-sl3kr Well said!

I have learned so much the past ten years but only by ignoring our media and actually opening a book. I have become more curious as I go. The information is there but the motivation of the haves it keep the have nots uneducated. Really an interesting presentation. Thank you so much.
Don't stop. The history of Eastern Europe is fascinating and nothing like what almost everybody believes to be true.
Political education/history at its best. Professor Massad is an intellectual beast. Professor Massad needs his own program. A powerful lesson.
Brilliant synopsis. Thank you for bringing this amazing guest. I just wish that everyone can watch it.
What a breath of fresh air !!! Keep up the great work Rania.
Thank you so much for the history professor 😁👍🏻
Rania always does the best interviews, support her if you can.
What a refreshing channel, no TikTok emotional nonsense and parroting of msm talking points.
This is most enlighten historical facts about the truth behind the current situation, thanks so much for putting out such educational lesson
Thank you Rania for offering me this insight into our history. And I was pretty confident in my knowledge of European history!😮
Excellent ,very level mind professor , this chanel is absolutely superb when come to objectivity and fairness . Thank you very much for that.
Excellent session Rania and Prof Massad. All these 'received truths' the Professor mentioned needs to be internalised before one can realise whether one is blinded by false illusions of democracy or not. Also, most responses to local situations are emotion based and not keeping the historical background in mind. This only leads to confusion and chasing unrealistic outcomes. I look forward to your next.
The Soviet Union tried to get an alliance with with the British and French Empires, but Britain and France repeatedly refused. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact came on the heels of these failed Soviet proposals because the Soviets had no other options.
Beyond that, the United States and the UK had already taken stances of neutrality or made their own non-aggression pacts with Germany by the time the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed.
This was very interesting. It's like finding all the missing peaces to a puzzle picture. Thanks.
Thanks for an excellent talk show with a fresh perspective against the backdrop of imperialism and racism of the American and western ruling elites who are also lack of honesty …
Thank you Much for this Great Video !
Much needed.....
Very insightful! Thank you Prof. Massad
Thank you rania. You are standing for truth. Keep it up.
This was an informative and refreshing perspective in a drone of mind numbing suppressive Ideo-Jurnalastic views that clogs the airwaves.
Damn , I'm impressed she pronounced Namibia perfectly 100%
This channel worth watching indeed
The greed of nations, the confusion of creeds, universal paranoia, the filth of war. Beam us up, Scottie!
I liked your characterization of the West's hatred of Russia as "Russo-phobia"!
Excellent, very well done, thank you for keeping things honest and balanced.
Perfect guest! His knowledge is supreme!
The only thing is this: Hitler wasn't German. He was Austrian. ❤️❤️
cosmic nature has own ways to make humans take their dose of their own medicine...
For all intents and purposes..
Exactly…👌🏿
Like most Austrians, he was ethnically German; German-speaking. When Germany was politically unified by Prussia in the 19th century, it excluded the German-speaking portions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a recently defeated rival of Prussia.
Well.. that’s a distinction without a difference. The Germans did not say “hey, you are Austrian, we don’t need your problems over here”.
Professor Massad is truly a wise man, and Rania too, a women of wisdom and courage at such a young age.
I enjoyed listening to Professor Massad and his thoroughly interesting analysis of Western leaderships goals and institutions.
What a great guest! Thank you for the interview, Rania!
Great interview, your guest is fantastic!
Double Thanks - for yourself and your efforts and your Excellent Guests.
Really informative. Thanks, Rania and Professor Massad.
Vow, one of the very best analysis, so insightful and thought provoking. Thank you for having him !
