Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- This panel will delve into the evolving dynamics of global conflicts and the pursuit of peace. In a world in which violent conflicts are back on the front pages of the news, there is a need to understand the causes of contemporary conflicts, the impact of broad trends like geopolitical competition and globalization, and the roles of international organizations and local actors in conflict resolution. In the context of persistent violence from Ukraine to Gaza, from Sudan to Myanmar, the panel will discuss the strategies for building sustainable peace, and how to navigate the challenges of managing conflict in our times.

What is the common denominator in the conflicts involving Europe and middle east ?
The USA.
The USA is on a different continent, far away. There is no way they'd allow the peaceful connectivity of the Eurasian continent.
The east-west peaceful connectivity and integration of the Eurasian continent would spell disaster for the USA, in their views.
Absolutely. The US's role in the world is a saboteur against economic developments around the world. Asean is not spared. China is the builder but cast by the mainstream media as the aggressor. Academics often dare not challenge that because SG avademia is so connected to US and the West.
Anywhere in the world, if there is a border dispute, it is usually the result of a line drawn by an Englishman; if it is an internal dispute, it is usually the US fueling it with diplomatic, financial, covert, and military support. Difference in implementation of divide and conquer strategy.
Only Prof. Mahbubani talk sense!
Tump up for Prof. Mahbubani 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤
👏👏👏👏👏❤️👍
Brilliant! A privilege. Thank you. Best wishes. 🌞🖖🏼✌🏽
Sunrise & Sunset Organization sums it up pretty well.
Singapore is so smart to stay neutral and led other ASEAN nations to stay that way too to avoid being caught in tragedy between a great power struggle.
Would be great to have these sessions available as podcasts.
Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of the Almighty God.
Jai Hind. According to Mahathir, the Ukraine war is caused by the European love for Wars.
From a moral perspective, wars definitely do not make sense. But from an economic viewpoint of those who are in the business of selling regional conflicts, war is the only thing that makes sense. 😔
The (neo-)colonialists have no morals, only propaganda, brainwashing and whitewashing.
On the question on US think tanks, there are mostly funded by the arms industries. Quess what developes more business. 😂
I hope Michael can explain more on what has China done or did to support Russia on the war as he said. Did China support Russia by selling them weapons like US & EU did to Ukraine? Is it wrong for China to be neutral in Russia Ukraine war like many other countries where most of us know the main reason the war between the 2 countries broke out? Actually sometimes I’m thinking, if not because China is standing neutral & trying hard to settle this hotspot as Michael said, is there going to be a ww3 since everyone of us know what will happen if a tiger is being cornered to a wall. Also. Is there any problem by stating coordination & cooperation where both sides of the worries & issues being listened & considered? Since the old brutal way has proved to fail for so many times, perhaps it is time we try another way, listen to both sides concern. I think one has to be not arrogant, condescending & prejudice when discussing about peace. Let us be fair. Hope there will be real peace in this world.
Who created war around the world everybody knows.
No speaker dare to say the only reason for US-China tension is simply America's inability to be no.2
The second speaker, Michael, tried hard to provoke ASEAN to fight with China. Which will eventually lead to instability in the Southeast Asia region. I am glad that many commentators here did not fall for his provocation. Just look at what happened in Europe, when the Russia-Ukraine war broke out, capital fled Europe, the economies of European countries were in ruins.
Regarding the case of the Philippines and China over the South China Sea dispute, I suspect that it was a provocation by the United States. As far as I know, during President Duterte's administration, relations between the Philippines and China were fine. In fact, the two countries were willing to discuss how to work together to manage natural resources in the South China Sea. It all fell apart after President Bongbong Marcos.
Mr. Michael’s view is different. He’s rather critical of the current situation. It’s not easy for speakers to point out weaknesses. We shall respect his view.
Only Eve will still listen to a forked tongue again and again. Nothing happens in a vacuum, Kishore conveniently forgets the peace talk in Turkey and 2014, what the Palestinians suffered for 70 over years in a holocaust inflicted on them by the same people who conveniently forgets what they went through themselves.
The second speakers is hinting that Asians need Uncle Sam for peace. 😒
No. Please listen carefully again. He didn’t.
Second spin - muddled head fabricator - those powers were coloniser invaders
Why u see so many violent, war,,,? Don't u know who creates
Here again towards the ending, this Michael only has exactly the same anglo-saxon “hat”, still driving, trying to push through, exactly the same typical ideology, that had and have continuously failed in so many aspects of the many parts of the world hotspots in the past and in the present, even up to the present unnecessarily wars including Myanmar, while on the other hand, pushing down all real good efforts or rather, kept insinuating negativities, and worst, even with the positive outcome of peaceful agreement between Saudi and Iran. The world is not the same as yesteryears that in the past, do not have the time to decipher what this peaceful outcome means! Also, if not for the ways things are handled differently, there would be war in the region with this Myanmar internal issues, just like all the mess in Europe or Middle East! Yet this guy who had or has been in this part of the world, can’t fathom or worked through in his mind, why’s it different here, or even China’s handling of Saudi Iran peace, or even, the recent peaceful settlements deal between different factions in Palestine?! This Michael still only has the failed anglo-saxon ways, self righteous views, ideology in this part of the world! This ONLY proved many times and once again, these typical anglo-saxon never intend or tried to learn or rather, care 💩 about the cultures, the ways, things are worked here! It’s A TOTAL WASTE that such guy is planted here just to soothe his way through - a truly sunset ideology (as a statement by KM) that the rest of the world won’t easily accept anymore, after all, China has presented a totally different model to work through things peacefully!
