- Theodore Postol is Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at MIT. He did his undergraduate work in physics and his graduate work in nuclear engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After receiving his Ph.D., Dr. Postol joined the staff of Argonne National Laboratory, where he studied the microscopic dynamics and structure of liquids and disordered solids using neutron, x-ray and light scattering, along with computer molecular dynamics techniques. Subsequently he went to the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment to study methods of basing the MX Missile, and later worked as a scientific adviser to the Chief of Naval Operations. After leaving the Pentagon, Dr. Postol helped to build a program at Stanford University to train mid-career scientists to study developments in weapons technology of relevance to defense and arms control policy. In 1990 Dr. Postol was awarded the Leo Szilard Prize from the American Physical Society. In 1995 he received the Hilliard Roderick Prize from the American Association for the Advancement of Science and in 2001 he received the Norbert Wiener Award from Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility for uncovering numerous and important false claims about missile defenses.
You as an American should be intelligent enough to realize the system is completely corrupt. It doesn’t matter who or which side wins, the citizens have no vote or say.
So, what shall we do then? Lay down and die? Just accept our miserable lot in life? Anytime someone says what you said they NEVER provide solutions.
@@olliefoxx7165 Those are not your only options. Your ancestors carried out a successful revolution and a revolutionary war not too long ago, as history goes, to create a political system that no longer works, having been hijacked by your oligarchy (your lobby groups and corporations). Let your 18th century predecessors be your inspiration now.

If the last forty years has proven anything, it is that propaganda and brainwashing are more powerful than reason and critical thought. Orwell was right.
You government officials have been bought and paid-for by the special interest groups, donors, and etc.
If I was an American I would be thinking what a horror to the world the US has been.
is.
Other than Trump and a very few others, you're not seeing Americans, you're seeing the NWO globalists. But times they be a changing
Amerikan here you're right!
I'm so ashamed ..the more I learn the more my heart aches for the suffering death and pain we have caused and continue to do so
Many of us are thinking exactly that and worse.😢😢😢
NATO is not a defensive alliance. They illegally bombed Yugoslavia (direct violation of the UN Charter). We must never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria....
🤝🇷🇸❤️🙏🏻
Also: they did so bc Serbia didn't want to let the other partrepublics go independent, and NATO and the west argued "it's the right of all people to decide for themselves". ...unless it's the people of Donezk, Lugansk, Crimea, right? => NATO MUST BE DISBANDED. It outlifed its purpose and searching a new one they became the biggest danger to worldpeace.
3 millions Vietnamese civilians killed, hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians killed by US nuclear bombs even when Japan were ready to surrender.
Yep, nothing but an instrument of US imperial power projection and a protection racket for keeping all of the US empire's Anglo-European satellite states obedient and complicit in its various geopolitical agendas around the world. It seems only Westerners are able to delude themselves about this very basic and abundantly clear reality of the organization.
It's a nice tactic to continue to hold on to it's colonialism so NATO is simply just this legacy of Europeans
Cluster munitions suggests civilian targets as well rather than the fleet.
Ukraine has nuclear waste of its own. They have also US shared biolabs.
Existence of nuclear waste is one thing, ability to handle it an entirely different matter.
Ukraine has a dozen working reactors, they have all the waste they might want and processing it is not really a huge problem.
@@calicocat8213 Yeah, that was discussed but they have no use for Polish nuclear waste because they have their own. That was my point.
@@calicocat8213 Ukraine has multiple operational nuclear power plants in their country. The staff from those facilities would know how to handle that.
@@killman369547 "The staff from those facilities" would know how to handle nuclear waste to produce a dirty bomb LOL?
Are you even aware that most of Ukrainian nuclear waste used to be (don't know about now) sent to Russia for processing?
There are video from surveillance cameras on the Crimean beach as it was hit that Sunday afternoon. They shows bomlets being evenly distributed in their intended pattern. The ones that hit the water all made identical water plumes. That is not broken up debris of random sizes. That ATACMS worked as intended.
Another critical piece. The Russians would be able to track the likely target of the missile. If it was targeted for Sevastopol ... the critical piece becomes who did the programming of the missile ? Mr. Postol argues that it missed in terms of altitude, not direction. Cluster munition in an environment of buildings, cars and other obstacles would likely have limited effect.
NATO needs to understand that playing Russian roulette with a nuclear superpower is never a good idea
Never only happens once.
Agree for effective combat unit you need minimal 2 years for special forces is 4 year school and after 4 year extra training 12 hours per day and specializations in various combat tactics. But same is for airplanes to become ace or topgun even more than special forces and very few become one.
How is Trump more of a threat to US “democracy” than Biden ?? As a non American looking in from the outside, why not just admit that it doesn’t matter which person is standing in as president they are not really in control …. So, to say one is more of a threat than the other seems strange. I would liken it to the situation here in France with the debate about the threat of the far right ….. in the end they will get to power and do as they’re told … no?
Agree ! The great industrials has the power , that’s all ! And all those gouverments , ….that’s Disney land ! And Trump wants more money for the MIC but when there is hunger , metal is not so good for our health .
Exactly, however Trump will stop funding Ukraine. Which will force Ukraine to negotiate. This guy is brainwashed, watching too much CNN.
Imagine a world without the USA
Nice
Hmm.. the USA is a beautiful country with lots of different culturs.. better a World without zionist and other fascists
Yes, be the change. Remember, multi-national capitalist corporation has no allegiance to borders. See how that works?
It's closer than you think, the empire is collapsing but seems determined to drag all of its satellite states and the rest of humanity down into cataclysmic collapse along with it
Better yet, imagine a world with a US that actually follows its publicly proclaimed moral standings.
1:00:37 Putun was a lawyer, not an operative.
I'm more and more unimpressed with this guy. He claimed the ATACMS flys at mach 9. That's BS. The ATACMS has a top speed of approximately Mach 3, or around 3,700 km/h (2,300 miles per hour). He also continues to claim on these shows that Russia doesn't have a satellite early warning system. He continues to ignore the Russian EKS/Tupol early warning satellite constellation. I'd love for someone have him and Andrei Martyanov in the same room for a chat.
So he may be wrong about the technical details on a couple things but the attack on him & others like him remind me of senators & US agencies asking for the assasination of Assange. So US wants to do dirty & be seen as that shining democracy? Come on!
Severe case of TDS too.
@@WaffleusRex yes, why is he worried "Trump is going to destroy democracy"? After four years of a Trump first term, Trump did not destroy democracy. Trump also never started a war.
@@bruceposch1449seems like democracy in the US died decades ago.
Really devastating and eye opening insights. I'm rather short for words
Black Sea Fleet moved from the harbour in case a long time ago. The point is that Ukrainians couldn't fire that missile without Americans.
I attended Ukraine - Belgium EURO 2024 football match in Stuttgart last month.
Ukrainian supporters (most of them young men of conscription age) unashamedly shouted: "Україна понад усе!".
Dear subscribers and guest on this channel - especially those from Germany... and Austria - please, google-translate this phrase into your native tongues as I don't want to get a ban from You Tube moderators.
And not without the Americans knowing the intended target ...
Another excellent interview with Theodore Postol. Congratulations.
Amen to everything you have spoken. God bless you all the days of your life
Thanks nice to have your guest who has a lot of knowledge in the history of how we got we're we are today. A genuine and honest man.
I am confused. Ukraine has tons of nuclear waste of its own.
Chernobil is right there 🤣🤣🤣
This nuclear waste has to be finely refined and the process as Ted Postol says is painstaking and involves fine technological means and knowledge. You don't just toss pellets anyhow ... Ted Postol goes deep into detailed engineering details. As an engineer I enjoy greatly his interviews and assessments. Wish they had people like that in the Pentagon, State Dept, Secretary of Defense, ... Instead, what they have is morons as: Lloyd Austin, Blinken, Sullivan and ... Forget it, we might be censored. Yet Ted Postol is a true American!
Chernobyl gotsit
Maybe it’s a question of provenance. It may be possible to identify material from specific reactors and they want to avoid incriminating themselves by using material only they have access to?

I really appreciate that professor Podol not only understands the technicalities of "weapons of mass destuction", but also understands the mental meme that randomly refers to it. Like with the "dirty bomb" that he begins with explaining. A degree in pshychiatry would be the perfect complement to fully make a diagnosis. 1000 ml Haloperidol usually helps.
A puzzling nativity from an otherwise pleasant man. Like those nuclear rods just appeared out of nowhere.

American message to the Ukrainians:
"You do all of the dying - we can do all of the winning"
***
This is all we - Ukrainians need to know about this proxy NATO vs Russia war:
“Being an enemy of America is dangerous, being a friend of America is fatal.” - Henry Kissinger (?)

>>>I guess it was the 12th or 13th time to Kiev, and I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee. I got a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against a state prosecutor, and they didn’t.
“So as they were walking out to the press conference, I said, nah, we aren’t going to give you the billion dollars. They said you have no authority, you are not the President. I said call him. I’m telling you, you are not getting the billion dollars.
“You are not getting the billion; I am leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you are not getting the money.
“Well, son of a bitch, he got fired.>If you put aside the immense human suffering and look at Ukraine’s war through the cold lens of international power politics, a clear picture emerges: the West is having a good war against Russia.
All NATO has to do is send Kyiv munitions, equipment and money, which, as any general knows, is the c h e a p e s t way to wage war.
(...)
The lives are being given by the Ukrainians. They’re defending their nation but also, inadvertently, helping decide the Cold War.
For 70 years, NATO deterred a Moscow attack westwards. The Russians eventually invaded, last February, what they assumed would be a conquerable target on their south-western border.
The war that NATO long prepared for is finally being fought.
Not everyone has
empathy or compassion. Many in the military and the government lack 55:23 human emotions.
It is not limited to those areas. Any sector/organization with a sizable bureaucracy have a similar problem. Some people are just 'doing their job'.
Ted Postol is supposed to know stuff...not knowing that ATACMS is a BALLISTIC MISSILE, pretty much puts everything he is saying to doubt.
SERIOUS DOUBT.
As Trump said during debate, if rulling class put in high quality people he would not be there.
theodore is an excellent guest
Excellent commentary. Mr Postol Is an incredible wealth of info regarding weapons. Please invite him back.
The last thing that American political leaders want is a free America with a free press and citizens with constitutional rights.
We need to declare our Independence again...from the Permanent Government Bureaucracy that's pushing us into Facism. We must restore the Republic. Democracies have been problematic since the Greeks.
A Ukraine official said the next day there is no innocents in Crimea because it’s occupied territory
That would be Podolyak. He's a real psycho.
Thus admitting that Crimeans aren't Ukrainian.

Guess the people identifying as Ukrainian and chose to continue living there feels great ...
This guy seems very intelligent, however he thinks Donald Trump is the worst candidate for president...I challenge him to explain what policy of Trumps is so bad....as a Canadian, I agree with .most of Trumps policies
Your country first....legal immigration and controlled....deregulation...less government...all seems good....an intelligent man like him, should be able to explain why any of this is a problem....I am listening (without getting emotional)....For him to say there are quality dems to assume Bidens position...is he talking about the people who got behind Russia gate ,people who colluded to obstruct Trump at all costs. People who ignored election laws..any law to subvert Trump.....no thanks who would want any of these people to be president....we had a saying ..the end does not justify the means...without a detailed explanation of why a controlled border is a bad thing....I will have to assume he suffers from TDS.....Again I am listening
It is obvious Trump is a complete egomaniac narcissist openly corrupt liar, and the unilateral withdrawal by Trump from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty makes him a clear danger to world peace, and a traitor to his European and Asian allies. He might have legitimate points with his conflict with the equally corrupt US government, but the idea that the guy can be some kind of ethical hero and savior of the American people and its democracy is fanciful and delusional.
He seems to be like many others. They only hear what ppl say Trump says, they never listen directly.
The Ru fleet of ships was not in harbour ,..there is a special cathedral/church near the beach ..that is the likely target
NATO's strategy is 'more hubris!'
Is not biden to decide to continue but is the people who are around him and also profiting at this situation even his own family who keeps insisting his fine.
that he is fine.
It wouldn't matter where the waste came from it is all traceable for nations with a reasonable technological level right to the source.
Yeah. They can tell exactly where any radioactive material originated from right down to the specific section of the reactor it was in. Which is mind bogglingly impressive when you stop and think about it for a moment.
FFS, Ukraine has a dozen nuclear reactors, they have all the waste they want and means to process it i to whatever they want.
Nuclear waste from EU countries was piled up in containers on the Polish border with Ukraine back in 2015.
Russia confiscated on the NPP they took over, something like 40 tons of plutonium and 40 tons of Uranium .... Also some institute in Kiev working on nuclear issues was supposedly bombed due to the nature of their research.
The US missiles were tested in Denmark ( island Bornholm ).......not Norway.
And the Soviet Union handed over Bornholm to the Danes in 1945 on the condition that no foreign troops be allowed on that island. But the West ignores all treaties. They don't have diplomacy. No one to talk to there.
Guess testing was all over the Danish MSM. /s
@@iRelevant.47.system.boycott Very little was mentioned, only that the US practiced air defence on the island......which is a lie, the US tested short medium - intermediate-range missiles.
Thank you very much Mr Postol for all your analysis and inspirations, the surely true things you said about Secret Services, it was pleasure to listen to them. Greetings from East Germany!🙂
I was listening until he said Trump was a threat to democracy. Thats such a ridiculous, preposterous and BASELESS thing to say I cant take this man seriously afterwards.
Trump had 4 YEARS as president. He left the presidency. The hyperbolic Karens screeching "Trumps a threat to democracy" literally said the same exact thing in 2016. The only ones Ive seen thats an actual threat to democracy are the ones saying that about Trump.
Trump appointed John Bolton to minister ("security adviser").
What more proof of being a madman does one need?
Actually, what good did Trump achieve during his 4 years as president?
Don't let politics get in the way of a good conversation.
Mr. Postol is definitely a questionable character. Look up Andrei Martyanov's article, "responding to Ted Postol's thesis"
It is obvious Trump is a complete egomaniac narcissist openly corrupt liar, and the unilateral withdrawal by Trump from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty makes him a clear danger to world peace, and a traitor to his European and Asian allies.

I don't know if they are up to date, but Putin has greenlighted the production of intermediate nuclear missiles.
The US has a limited circle of competent leaders.
Name one.
@@kevhcok9099 I forgot. LOL
@@ViceCoinmaybe one could say: a circle-jerk of leaders 😏
That just scared the shit out of me.
Thank you both for the information. ❤️💪🏽👊🏽🤞🏽👍🏽🙏🏽🇮🇳🇬🇧
Postol goes postal, he is really angry.
Great interview Nima. 👍
The professor should update his vocabulary, the kgb is no more. If you want to give the impression that the Soviet Union still exists I suppose it is a good way to mess with people’s heads, but it’s not helpful.
Absolutely brilliant, so informative and in depth . Thank you
the only thing I can think caused the missile to go off coarse is Russian GPS spoofing, but these missiles are programmed to detonate at a certain location

Very interesting!
Excellent interview and guest. what was the original date.?
Today, maybe yesterday. Based on the discussions, Nima puts out the interview videos shortly after they are recorded.
The date is given in the upper right corner of the video.
@@davidk6269 thats is not date of recording
Postol believes that the ATACMS missiles were targeted at Sebastopol city not the naval base based on missile flight path. plus the use of cluster munitions, which would be ineffective against ships or shipyard. 22:40
Mistake at 18:00 it's Mach .9 not Mach 9.
Thank you Professor. The whole world or about do agree. But what is this mess with putting RFK out of the list of possible candidates ? All of this is manipulated, and nobody seems to be acting significantly... we have the same state of things with younger people as Presidents in France, one after the other, so the issue is not about age...

The zaparozhia, correct spelling I am not sure,
plant has waste I heard and was stated in this threat.
Many true words spoken!
Very interesting speaker. Thank you Theodor. Hey from Russia 🇷🇺))
Much weaker than the usual analysts. He even spoke of the so called poisonings in the US...
Everyone talking about how terrible America is needs to understand that we as a nation are just finding out the depth of our political corruption. Prior to 2001 , the internet barely existed. We now know much more. Give us time and we will fix it. We realize We now cannot use the soap box or the ballot box. The only box left is the cartridge box. I pray it does not come to this but it seems the citizens Will be forced.
Why don't the Russians use nets to protect their navy ships at the port? Its very cheap for anti drones.
The Russian fleet is NOT in Sevastopol, silly moo!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL NON-INDIGENOUS AMERICANS, GOD BLESS YOU!
Anyone who Ted disagrees with is the mustache man. Otherwise he’s a great scientist
17:52 Did he just say ATACMS achieve Mach 9 at 40km altitude? LMAO. The Americans can't achieve Supersonic+ (Mach 3.5-4.5) speed at that altitude let alone Mach 9. This MIT fella is making sh*t up as he speaks. 😂
Its not murder by the Russians✌️
Obviously, he hasn’t learned much about WW2 and what we did. Especially the US when they atomic bombed two cities for a display of power under the guise of finishing a war which everyone understood was over anyway.
This professor from MIT is a real genius, does not know anything and talks about everything.
Why does the public and everyone in the administration 39:37 speak as if our President is not OUT TO LUNCH, PERMANENTLY. 🤔😬
Professor Postol mentioned intermittent lapses, but what we see is not intermittent, it is very regular. Biden is like an incandescent lamp plugged to a powerline close to an electric welding jig.
There's some evil shite goin' on worldwide. Mankind is devolving not evolving and at some point God will have to step in AGAIN to clean it up. Proverbs 10:30. I have a feeling that day is sooner rather than later.
Remember: G. Bush I was himself a former head of the CIA, wasn't he ?
Wow
Nice iñfo. But delutiom
Ted Pistol seems to talk a lot of sense, probably in the minority where media commentary is concerned.
