- Col. (ret.) Lawrence Wilkerson's last positions in government were as Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff (2002-05), Associate Director of the State Department's Policy Planning staff under the directorship of Ambassador Richard N. Haass, and member of that staff responsible for East Asia and the Pacific, political-military and legislative affairs (2001-02).
-
Before serving at the State Department, Wilkerson served 31 years in the U.S. Army. During that time, he was a member of the faculty of the U.S. Naval War College (1987 to 1989), Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-93), and Director and Deputy Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia (1993-97). Wilkerson retired in 1997 and began work as an advisor to General Powell. He has also taught national security affairs at the George Washington University.

THIS!
Our country is made to look like a joke with people like Blinken. Absolutely no talent in anything.
What musical instrument does he play again?
….except rock guitar and vocals.
Are you talking about the Blinkered Cock- star ? Strumming his Way out of trouble ? Into yet more troubles ahead. That blinking 🎸 must go /and him .
@@theinfralink6598I heard he really blows a mean meat whistle and skin flute.
Blinken, the Ukrainian who sees himself on the throne of kyiv.
Yep. And ambassador lavrov's tone is changing. He's trying to warn us but nobody's listening
NATO is listening. They are preparing for war with Russia.
Russia and China has just finished a railroad to deliver tons of grain form Russia to China and the return journey will carry exports to Russia. That's trading.
I think it was Nima's recent guest Dmitry Orlov who said it best, the reason China is supporting Russia is because they know they are next on the list of US imperialists.
the western genius planners have helped ru and chy-na realize what good neighbors that they need to be..
*no western neighborhood bully stands a chance against a ru × chy-na alliance..
Europeans used to do that before they disappeared up the American arse!
Considering China's food insecurity was it's Achillies heel this'll really cover biggest weakness.
...and in the meantime, American politicians are over here bickering over bullsh*t...
Let them keep on underestimating the Russians...

The Russians must have contemplated the possibility of facing NATO, and prepared for it!

Nima, I listen to you and your excellent guests and am filled with hope by how honest and insightful you and they are. Sadly, afterwards, I look at everything else and despair again. Thank you all.
Very well described for many of us.
@@DTJKS
Agreed.
This guest has TDS. I mean he literally said Trump tried to overthrow the government on Jan 6th. He's an idiot.
That's true
yes.. @nima is like a modern day @johnny carson show = *which all of the most vied [$] for "guests" all want to be on his "show" = *because, he does not follow the popular [and wrong] current zeitgeist..
How Wilkerson can be so smart and seemingly believe the Jan 6 was actually and attempt to over throw the government is beyond comprehension. You don't go in to over throw a government with unarmed people.
He's here for the agenda, 95% of good content + THE MESSAGE. Ratio that supposed to make the BS credible
How can Wilkerson be so smart yet believe?... I think you answered your own question.
The fact that he was a loyal acolyte of Colin Powell for so long has always been a red flag for me.
YOU CANNOT TRUST WIKERSON. HE IS A RETIRED US ARMY COLONEL. HE STILL SUPPORTS THIS GOVERNMENT AND WORKED FOR THE GOVERNMENT. HE IS NOT CREDIBLE NEITHER IS MCGREGOR. THE MILITARY THAT IS CREDIBLE IS SCOTT RITTER
@@alecfoster4413SCOTT RITTER EXPOSED COLLIN POWELL A BUSH BOT. THE BUSH AND CLINTONS ARE WAR CRIMINALS LIKE OBAMA AND BIDEN
After Blinken's last visit to Keiv, it is clear that he is a psychopath. One thing is to be insane, another completely is to be a psychopath.
Agree
He's not the only one.
I think he's not. He's a person who has the goals that impossible to achieve.
"Keep on rockin on the free weirld " boom boom boom boom . Yeah ..its crazy .. Blinken, Nuland Kagan wolfowitz . Perle.. the usual unelected but super powerfull suspects
That's one of the criteria to get "up there" in the U.S.
j6 was not an insurrection.
It was more a Hollywood production
Agreed.. more a cry for help!
are you a judge and jury?
I hope no one ever puts a gun to your head, & with your same logic, you just think, not a gun !
WAKE UP !
NATO, including the United States military, will lose if it tries to fight Russia in Ukraine. NATO, including the United States military, will lose if it tries to fight China in the South China Sea. There's no way that NATO can win if it tries to fight either of the other two superpowers on their own turf.
CHINA HAS 1.5 BILLION and can MOBILIZE 200-400 million troops
Agreed 👍💯
NATO could easily push Russia out of Ukraine
@@UpChuckTheBoogiein your dreams maybe... Nato had no experience in fighting s war against a country with over 1.5mil trained troops, well equipped army, no shortage of ammunition with a war time economy that produces more tanks in 1 month that the whole of nato produces in a year.
2nd Mr Putin is not bluffing using nuclear capabilities if Nato puts boots on the ground in Ukraine. Putin said the Russians are ready to die and the world will die once Nato puts boots on the ground... The question is are the western countries and Nato ready to die?
@@hungmeow8284And you believe that China would rush to the aid of Russia if they attacked Chinas biggest trading partners. BTW do you have any idea how long it would take to mobilise, train, arm, equipment 200m Chinese and then transport to the front 😂🤣😂👍
Dialogue Works, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!
Nima is the best interviewer I've seen anywhere.
Really? Has the best guests but asks basic softball questions. He’s improving but best interviewer? Please!
@@jibsmokestack1he allows his guests to speak and doesn't interrupt them. He knows when to ask a question and when to keep quiet. His soft ball questions are well put and allow his guests to expand their thoughts and ideas.
He is doing a great job.
What I like, as we have watched his channel for a while now, is how his guests have become so friendly towards him.
It is obvious they have come to respect Nima, because he always treats them with respect too. Nima is a good man. And excellent at his job.
@@danwelterweight4137 I agree he doesn’t interrupt but he does ask a lot of questions that have an msm framing or have an obvious answer. I give him credit because he is doing this in not his first language. Also not interrupting guests is good but never questioning what they say or asking a pertinent follow up question isn’t. I just feel that mediocrity gets celebrated too much these days and more constructive criticism all round and in all areas is needed imo!
@@jibsmokestack1 Your response is amazingly short-sighted.
NATO already lost fighting Russia.
ABSOLUTILY, However what i heard PUTIN say is if NATO countrys send nato troops and weapons and attack{ THERE OWN COUNTRYS WILL SUFFER MISSLE ATTACK, This is why RUSSIA is not messing around.

@@RobertTestowy
Panowie Kukuła, Hołownia, Kosiniak-Kamysz, Skrzypczak, Sikorski-Applebaum... no i oczywiscie poborowy Robert Testowy - to samozwańczy "eksperci" od Wschodu, którzy cierpią na wielkopańsko-sarmackie kompleksy wyższości wobec Rosji i Rosjan czego nawet nie ukrywają.
Ten "prometeizm", zaściankowa mania wielkości śmieszy i jednocześnie przeraża.
Ich bohaterska buńczuczność i zakrapiana drwiną arogancja przypomina mi wypowiedzenie wojny Japonii przez Polski Rząd Emigracyjny w Londynie 11 grudnia 1941.
Iście szwoleżerska brawura tej decyzji zapisała się złotymi zgłoskami w historii II WŚ obok deklaracji wojny Stanom Zjednoczonym i Wielkiej Brytanii przez pozbawione dostępu do morza Węgry czy Słowację w 1941 roku, akt wojny wypowiedziany III Rzeszy przez rząd San Marino w 1944 roku bądź przyłączenie się plemienia Kwazulu w RPA do koalicji antyhitlerowskiej w 1943 roku.
Spodziewałem się, że w imieniu prezydenta Dudy... i prezydenta Zeleńskiego - będziemy zaproszeni na uroczyste podpisanie aktu kapitulacji Rosji w... Perejesławiu.
Nie chcę nikogo rozczarowywać ale obecnie Polska jest traktowana w politycznych elitach Rosji nie jako podmiot ale instrument Waszyngtonu. Nic więcej.
Polscy politycy zanim zaczniecie wnikać w istotę stosunków Chińskiej Republiki Ludowej i Rosji, proszę się uważnie przyjrzeć naszym POPiSowym mężom stanu "po kelnersku" stojącym na baczność nie tylko przed (nie mniej karykaturalnym od Breżniewa) Bidenem ale nawet przed drugorzędnymi, leniwie żującumi gumę anglojęzycznymi urzędasami.
Przytoczę "ekspertom" humorystyczną i otrzeźwiającą metaforę:
Idzie mrówka przez most u boku słonia i z dumą krzyczy: "Słoniu, ale ten most się pod nami ugina!"
Trudno nazwać Polskę krajem niepodległym, skoro na naszym terytorium znajdują się obce bazy wojskowe (pamiętacie jeszcze "Fort Trump"? :-) ... o eksterytorialnym "ośrodku krzewienia zachodnich wartości cywilizacyjnych" i klasycznym przykładzie naszej suwerenności w Kiejkutach nie wspominając.
Ponoć Putin nigdy nie wybaczy Polsce pomarańczowej rewolucji???
Nie zajęcie Moskwy przez Żółkiewskiego w 1610 roku? Nie wojny napoleońskie? Nie ”Cud nad Wisłą”?
A ja myślałem, że do dziś Putin nie wybaczył Polakom ”gestu Kozakiewicza” na Olimpiadzie w Moskwie w 1980 roku.
Mówią oni o Rosji w oderwaniu od ogólnej sytuacji geopolitycznej na świecie.
Nie dociera do nich oczywista prawda, że - z moralnego punktu widzenia - cynizm i wyrachowanie Putina w niczym się nie różni od hypokryzji Bidena i jego minionów w Paryżu, Londynie , Berlinie a nawet w Brukseli.
Nasi eksperci lubują się w wylewaniu wszelakich pomyjów na Rosję/Rosjan.
Jeżeli chcecie ujrzeć ludzi walających się "w gównie" zapraszam nie, nie, nie do Moskwy czy St Petersburga ale do nowojorskiego metra, na ulice Chicago, Seatle czy nawet San Francisco.
Uwielbiają oni przeginać "przysłowiowa pałę" w kwestii Katynia.
Film Wajdy "Katyń" był w szerokiej dystrybucji w "totalitarnej" Rosji, natomiast film Smarzowskiego "Wołyń" do dziś jest zakazany w naszej "braterskiej" Ukrainie.
Wszyscy bez wyjątku ani słowem nie wspominają o przeszytych na wskroś nazistowską ideologią herosach z "Azova", "Ajdara", "S14", "Тоrnado"... i banderowcach z "Prawego Sektora".
Ci wytatuowani od stóp do głów hitlerowskimi symbolami siepacze leczą się dziś... nie uwierzycie... w niemieckich i izraelskich szpitalach.
Synkowie ukraińskich patriotów-prominentów, którzy nie opuścili jeszcze Ukrainy zapytani dlaczego nie wstąpili do wojska odpowiadają, że - w przeciwieństwie do wcielanych prosto z ulicy - on “nie mają wojskowych nawyków i nie nadają do służby w amii. Ukraińskie "elity" wraz z członkami programu ”Kwartał 95” dziś topią swoją depresję i... ukraiński fatalizm w alkoholu z domieszką amfetaminy na tonącym banderowskim "Titanicu". To rosyjskojęzyczne towarzystwo wzajemnej adoracji tworzy rdzeń Partii prezydenta Zieleńskiego, który - tak jak większość z nich - nadal uczy się języka ukraińskiego w trybie przyśpieszonym.
Na zakończenie przypomnę polskim politykom... i nie tylko , że tym rosyjskim imperialistom my Polacy (wraz z innymi wschodnioeuropejskimi "untermensch'ami") zawdzięczmy swoje biologiczne istnienie.
Mamy 600 000 powodów aby o tym zawsze pamiętać przechadzając się i rozmawiając po polsku na ulicach malowniczych prastarych piastowskich miast:
Litzmannstadt, Allenstein, Elbing, Danzig, Gotenhafen, Zoppot, Kolberg, Stolp, Swinemünde, Misdroy, Stettin, Küstrin, Bromberg, Posen, Graudenz, Breslau, Ohlau, Oppeln, Görlitz, Königshütte, Gleiwitz, Kattowitz, Beuthen, Thorn, Glogau, Hirschberg, Liegnitz, Schweidnitz, Glatz, Waldenburg, Grünberg, Hindenburg... tak wspaniałomyślnie przekazanych nam po 1945 roku przez naszych zachodnich sąsiadów.

Col. Wilkerson's statement that he woke up to write was the most absolutest truth to what we are witnessing and experiencing with in the world today in regards to Israel.
That should be the forward to anyone's book who wants to write about this time in history
SPOT ON COL. Your wisdom is much appreciated.
Dear Nima, excellent work as usual, as another man of the Iranian heritage You make me proud of your integrity intelligence and the polite and respectful manners,👍🙏🌈
Trump did not try to stage an insurrection. That is a disgraceful canard.
he's an imperial fossil, with super bad boomervision
Wilkerson sounds like a yahoo some times.
This guy is a half wit. He is living in the past.
He sure did....refusing to accept the results of an election and trying to remain in office with force is indeed an insurrection. I believe also, that Biden is a disaster
He is also sadly brain-washed on the clumate change con.
How on earth does the loser of a war manage to control the outcome or a solution for peace and prescribing to the victor how a peace is going to happen and when it's going to happen?
They keep on ramming the propaganda until defeat has slammed their face. Russia will dictate the terms because it will be unconditional surrender.

The USA claims to be a democracy. The word democracy comes from the Greek word DEMOKRATIA.
DEMOS = PEOPLE
KRATIA = RULE
I can't see anything that the people are the ruler in the USA. To me it looks more like an Oligarchy than resembling a Democracy.
Very true.. the people get to SELect from two degenerates who have already been SELected by the elites. The Elites decide, the people get to participate is a sham election.. US elections aren't 'stolen' ..they are rigged by the system to exclude every decent, moral, intelligent contender.. only corrupt, bought and paid for puppets are available from which to choose.. Who on God's Earth would elect a Lindsey Graham if you had a democracy??
It's a scam 😂
no they are a republic but that is very close
The second he called the Jan 6 as an insurrection he lost me. The bank of intelligentsia in the US is shrinking. Sad.
Wilkerson is probably out now getting another mRNA booster. It is now obvious why Colin Powell was waiving that vial of white talcum powder around the UN, apparently the intellectual rot in DC set in decades ago.
Col. Wilkerson said about China and Russia that "it doesn't matter that they're not democracies" referring to Russia and China!!!! This after discussing how undemocratic the system is in the US at the beginning of this talk! Russia is a democracy with elections. China has a very interesting political system which works out to be far more democratic than the extremely corrupt so-called democratic system of the US.
china has an awful political system. if you say anything even mildly critical about xi jin ping or the ccp you will be disappeared, very likely forever.
The west is is not democracy it is hypocrisy since they came here from over 200 yrs ago
Statistics from right-wing London based think tank investigation..
48% of Americans believe theirs is a real democratic system. 70% of Chinese believe their system is truly democratic!!
We might get to vote but we don't get a say in what happens. This is a perversion of democracy and common everywhere in the West
Agreed 💯
“Lickspittle” what a great word!
I’m not afraid of Russia, it’s the west that I’m afraid of ..
Just as Powell did! He confused his military role to qct in accordance with the commander in chief with his duty as secondary of state which requires fealty to the rule of domestic and foreign laws. Powell's one redeeming act was to admit that what he did at the UN was wrong.
T.D.S. is strong with this one, sad
People fail to understand wars.
A very important aspect of Any Military Action is MOBILIZATION, Mobilization of Resources, Human Resources, Economic, Industrial Resources.
The reason why modern wars of Aggression cannot prevail against Nations (see Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.) is Mobilization.
Only those conducting a War of Self-Defense can execute a full Mobilization, while those conducting a war of Aggression cannot.
Consequently those conducting a War of Self-Defense on their own territory, against their own people can Mobilize 10x more Military Resources than those conducting a War of Aggression outside their territory.
Who, in your opinion (as Nima always says), is the aggressor in the current war in Ukraine?
North American States
@@larsh2923 Russia is the Aggression .. sad the that is not clear to all people .. Ukrain did not go into russia ... and they still are not doing that most in russia...Sad this war likely have to end with russia falling apart .,, and thay will take at less 2 years more
I feel like a passenger on a train that's headed for a collision. I know its coming. But I don't know when. And there's nothing I can do about it.
Truth is beautiful Col. Larry Wilkerson👏
I like Col Larry. He speaks clearly and succinctly. He gives me hope for America as a reasonable nation.
He also clearly suffers from TDS. Just not enough to still support Biden.

@@PauloAdriano-zo2ngOkay, as a college teacher he can influence future leaders.
Are you joking? Look at the mess we are in and he is still pushing the Democrat is better than Republican nonsense. We have a single party in DC and until people wake up we are doomed. Stop listening to old fools
I sincerely worry that the good Colonel's comments might be a veiled, back-handed way of bolstering our own military industrial complex rather than the general pacification of our untenable geo-political environment. We are one species living on one Earth.Why do our leaders fail to acknowledge that humbling reality?
Masters and slaves remember the British empire where did the settlers came from
The Col loses all credibility saying Trump tried taking over on Jan 6th.
Yep.
Just goes to show you that the smartest, most experienced among us …have ideologies we barely recognize today in 2024. But those beliefs lead these older guys to think stupidly.
i think he wanted say the repubblican. in fact how the MSM of my country painted what happened in that month, it seemed the trump wanted get the power in Usa.
Hes right that Trump is as bad as Biden though, even if he's wrong on the details of Jan 6th. Trump supports the Gender Side even more than Biden and will continue to back Ukraine, after backing the 61bn, going back on his border promises.
Trump deported less migrants than Obama - Trump was as weak on immigration as Britain's Conservatives. It's all talk from them as they only get the benefits from mass migration, while normal people suffer the consequences.
He certainly lost no credibility with me and very many people out there....Trump sure did try to stay in office BY FORCE. You can believe whatever helps you sleep better at night.
Col. Larry is so straight forward and spot on in his analysis and understanding. High quality and educative. Thanks Nima for ruotinely bringing best people in your show.
Thanks to you both.
Despite their equal populatins, for several reasons, there is no comparison between the spectacular success of China's economy to that of India over the last two generations. Wrong about Russia, now wrong about China, Col. W fails to understand the central role of infrastructure in national industrial/manufacturing growth.
Yes, and India is not an integrated country like China is under the Han "dynasty". India is more like the US, a federation of 5 - 9 or more nations.
Thanks for the great show Nima. always love listening to Mr. Wilkerson. you gotta respect a man who can admit that he was wrong about something speaking of Russia as a gas station that is
Thank you, gentlemen! 🙏🏻💪🙏🏻
EDIT: Just an FYI- the majority of Americans don't want EVs, so the tariffs really don't make a difference in our choices. Combustion engines RULE!! 💪💪💪
Americans haven't seen Chinese EVs with a network of 5-minute battery exchange stations. They might like those.
@@resist2030 - Americans HAVE seen exploding lithium batteries that cannot be extinguished, lithium batteries that do not operate in extreme cold temps, lithium batteries that cost more than the vehicle to replace, *child slave labor* to extract cobalt to make said vehicles- etc, etc, etc. ALL of which puts the 'carbon footprint' of said vehicles exponentially higher & dirtier than combustion engines. Oh, and BTW- 'fossil' fuel is a misnomer: the planet makes its own crude continuously..
I would buy electric if it is under $10K. I could use gas and electric with my jeep and an economy car or electric
@@hungmeow8284 - I suppose, if you live in the city. They are not economical if you live out in the country, let alone in the north where we have winter..
It's reported that EV charging stations are being torn apart for the $3.00 copper inside them. It's only going to get worse as more people are thrown into poverty in the USA. Who would want an EV that might explode from the lithium battery??
Good program. Thank you. You cannot know everything. Electric cars will not prevail in the U.S. It’s not possible because we do not have the electrical grid to support electric cars, and I don’t see anyone addressing this issue. Very little goes into infrastructure. It all goes to war. So if Wilkerson thinks 30 years will see the reduction in the use of oil and gas here in the US, I suspect he is dead wrong.
First 2 minutes. They weren't deadwrong about making a lot of money on self-instigated wars. That's who they really are; money vultures moved by greed.
Once again excellent thankyou both very much
This guy actually believes in the January 6 inSuRReCtiON narrative. Kind of tough to take anything he says seriously now. NGL
yeah he's a clownish boomer.. a fossil
He does have a touch of TDS. But, his geopolitical commentary is spot on I believe. When Trump is elected, it will not make one iota of difference to the deep state, globalist agenda that marches on. The U.S. hegemony over world affairs is ending on the ground level. At a higher level, it has already happened. Starting war with Russia and China is the worst idea ever. The work to define America in the multipolar future and get us there without blowing up the world is yet to be done.
yes, it was disappointing to hear this.
Ah yes January 6th, The Great Trespassing of 2021
I won't believe another word from Larry Wilkerson's mouth.
He won't call out the Jewry.
Ukraine and democracy should never be mentioned in the same sentence. EVER!!
Again, you are two of the finest minds of reason and reality I've ever seen. What a gift. Thank you.
Although the Colonel knows some things from his long experience, Im surprised he still buys into the narrative of Trump trying to overthrow the government.
This military industrial complex apparatchik also literally "marvels" at the "brilliance" of his buddy Putin.
Agreed. This guy is a dork who is stuck in the 90s Clintonian political paradigm. I turned it off when he started blathering on about “muh insurrection HURR DURR “
yes your ignorance is just as good as his knowledge.

I was in Dee-troit back in the 80's when the Japanese autos were outselling the cars from the big three. Reagan doubled the price of Japanese cars overnight to stop the slaughter, but that didn't improve things much. I felt so ashamed. It took decades to catch up with them in my area, body engineering.
What did the Japanese do better? Can you outline specifics?
@astafford8865 same engine displacement GM 80 hp. Japanese 120 hp, welding three surfaces with many bulkheads structurally. GM could only weld two back then, structures of Japanese cars lighter and stronger, better fuel efficiency. Better quality ratings for fit and finish, noise and vibration lower. One marketing genius thought that the Honda coin pocket on the dash was the only difference. I worked in body engineering. They beat us in every category. Sorry.
I was at Wayne State in the early 80s and witnessed the rust belt falling apart right before my eyes.

“ a lousy singer, guitar player and choice of song”. 😂😂 some humour in this time of great tragedy.. Thankyou, ❤
Thanks Nima. Col Wilkerson is a very lucid and honest man.
Much as I like & respect Col. LW, he has some interesting (wonky) takes here:
1 India with the greatest potential? Not sure where in history or elsewhere he gets this from.
2 The so-called Court of Arbitration re: the SCS that some body in US brought on behalf of the Philippines is NOT an office of the UN. They just rent offices in the same building. They have no authority nor delegated powers to adjudicate national territory [therefore their ruling is just plain not worth anything. It holds as much weight as me & my pals sitting around our local pub sitting in judgment!].
The 'major powers' actually came right out & clarified that they held no position in this dispute [which also includes Malaysia & Vietnam].
"[A] comedy of errors featuring fool after fool after fool." Love that phrase by the good colonel, referring to Europe and NATO in particular.
I love this channel...but reading the many comments about the degree to which this guest shares the narrative on J6 makes me question the value of his viewpoint.
I don't need the MSM narrative amplified. I can get that...well... everywhere. 😐
You are doing great job 👍
Thank you for bringing all those guests.
Always a good time Nima 👍
great podcast. everyone must listen to this man.
Your awesome Larry so straightforward to the point old school very refreshing
43:14 Yeah, look at all the US's success on the field of imposing democracy all around the world.
How it never come to mind of this people, democracy cannot be imposed from outside _by it's own definition_ ?
I'm old enough to remember when Democrats used to mock Republicans for "democracy building" & wars of adventure. Not anymore.
Greetings from Germany, great show❤
So the Col. thinks Pence is the savior of The Republic? I agree with most everything else.
Bingo
Great job!
Brilliant interview!
Colonel, we need people who think and don't live in a 1990 world that has long departed current reality.
American men also wouldn't tolerate a draft in the current socio-political setting.
Men back then had something to lose for not following conscription mandates: they had families, homesteads, careers, and community standing. To refuse the draft notice would be to have all of that drastically and negatively impacted.
Nowadays, men don't have children, women don't want anything to do with most of them, they will never be able to own a home, their careers are being destroyed by H1B visa abuse, and the idea of a common community was killed off in the early 2010s at the latest.
They have nothing to lose by refusing the draft and everything to gain from fighting the government.
Great interview Nima 👍
Thanks
Much obliged.
I just "love" how these RETIRED military hierarchy guys and retired policy makers speak so candidly about problems AND solutions to world problems and did or said very little when they had the voice to speak out when they were in the position to make a difference. This includes Dwight Eisenhower and his remarks about the "military industrial complex"WHEN HE WAS LEAVING OFFICE. No points for Col (ret.) Wilkerson. Nice analysis though...Lastly, ALL of your presentations are excellent...
we have become a land of consumers not builders .
Do you actually believe that Biden is even CLOSE to Trump in the polls? 😳
The polls can be overridden by a small number of corrupt election judges.
Did he say that? How dumb.
Superb interview...
Nima, skip this guy for the future or you will land where CNN is - without subscribers but also without government grants.
After what he said about Trump you know he's full of shait and has no real understanding of the politics. Im telling you man - get out of those guests. Lex Friedman learnt it. Colonel is here for the agenda
The truth is hard for you to accept reality is what it is 😂😂😢
@@theprophet489 No mate, Im seeing from the other side of the world. I havent even been to your hemisphere yet. Me no brainwashed, my friend. YOU on the other side need to start asking questions
NATO countries reneged to the treaty agreed with Soviet union when Soviet union pulled out of east germany, NATO agreed not to expand eastwards, Ukraine is on door step by Russia and wants to join up membership with NATO, Russia will never agree with that, never ever unless europe intends to swap back east germany..europe can't have both ways...
Too right about russia being concerned...your playing in their back yard...
It would be really interesting for Colonel Wilkerson to debate Sarah Paine ab 3:27 out Russia, Ukraine, and NATO. I'm inclined to believe Colonel Wilkerson more. Paine's take on Afghanistan and Iraq don't make sense to me. But I'm having a harder time seeing who has the better understanding of, Russia, Ukraine and NATO. Interesting to hear two informed people who have different takes on these issues.
hmmm, Wilkersons sounds good, but wasnt there a fabel abaut a scorpion that poisned hes helper, because it was in its nature ???, and what is in USA nature ?
Ambiguity is endemic in all of the former Soviet (now independent) states.. those who look to Russia, ie stability, egalitarianism, decency etc. and those who look to the West ie greed, opportunistism, profiteering etc. (supported by the CIA just like Maidan in Ukraine)..
I totally agree, hypocrisy has no bounds.
100% correct and very simple, one democratic state for all, just get on with it.
Wik! on Smotrich (born 1980): “His last name is derived from the Ukrainian town of Smotrych, where he says his ancestors lived.[4]”
No more war, dialogue works!
Dialogue doesn’t work with Americans.
Now is the time to reflect - if not genuflect - to that golden age of academic & artistic flourishing on the Iberian Peninsula when Jews, Christians & Muslims lived as neighbors in peace and unity, liberty!!
Col. Larry Wilkerson the woes off troth.
I'd support protectionist measures if it would help restore our manufacturing base. The US did that in the late 19th century and became the richest country in the world. But that does not mean threats and preparations for a war we'd lose.
What happened to China’s most favored trade status that was voted in congress years after years during the 90s
Sure, if Zelensky and his close friends come to the swiss pace conference, he will stay with in Switzerland with his 75'000 refugees already here!
Zelensky is no longer President , his term expired yesterday , which means Russia can now take him out any time they want . So I don't think he's going to be travelling anywhere ..
NATO-Russia war will be nuclear from the first second... Any questions?????
It boggles my mind that most people cannot see this.
It is about time the attitude of the so called top honcho country is brought down a few steps . The so called weaker nation's will no longer be bullied . The honcho parliament is not working with justice in mind . There is too much self interest on behalf of the members and the industrial system ....to the point that those who who disagree are treated badly.l feel so sorry for the deluded people of this land .
With reference to India, to say that it has the best leadership in the world but for its attitude to Muslims is a contradiction. It is its attitude to Muslims and women and the poor that will prevent it from ever achieving its potential.
What about the CAST SYSTEM???
@@vladoparenzan3344 Thank you! I can't beleive I forgot that!!!
If this world ceased to exist because of nuclear, so be it . I’m prepared! 😅
Larry--it's not too late to run Third Party!!
Putin was part of the negotiations that lead to the Minsk agreements that Zelenski refused to sign or honor while they continued their genocide of the Dombas.
People in the are brainwashed they are brainwashed by the media have no clue what is happening in Russia and Ukraine and what caused this war
Where is Nima from? Where does he live?
Brazil...., I think
The problem between China and the Soviets was the emotional vulgarity of Khrushchev, not the ideological divide
Emotionally I’m a revolutionary socialist, but I’m more mature than my emotions;
I’m ideologically aligned with China and Xi, but respect and admire Raisi, Assad and Putin just the same,
This is no challenge to my ideology, it is liberation from emotional constraint which would otherwise compel me to foolish action
Stillness is the most powerful action
China nor Russia are not the same country they were 30 years ago, or 20, or 10 . The model of cooperation with other nations to expand their economies as pursued by China is the winner. Russia supports independence movements, specifically in Africa since the 60’s and that is not forgotten. Soon, America will have no friends, only hostages on the world stage.
Да здравствует Россия!
Long live Mother Russia!
nationalist much?
