Professor Jan Oberg, thanks very much for your Lecture. You have the power to express my thinking. I am glad there are still real humans on earth. God bless you.
I was born and raised in Yugoslavia, which I loved and believed in. As daughter of a Macedonian father and Serbian mother from Bosnia, grown up in Belgrade, the awakening in the 90-es was traumatic in every sense. What the collective West did to us is unspeakable. Yes, we had our difficult histories and problems, but if the final, evil manipulation and destruction hasn’t been done by the western powers, we would never end in such horrible situation like in the 90-es. Looking today on the ex-YU republics, we are all losers. It hurts me badly how the population all over the Balkans got humiliated, degraded, satanised and robbed. All this is, I suppose, is the western value and their democracy.
Yes, absolutely terrible and destructive. I live half the time in Mexico, where there is at present a true democracy, but of course the USA and Canada are constantly threatening, meddling & trying to discredit the popularly elected government & destabilize the country. Imagine living next door to the beast!! 😱
Problem is it has never fought for freedom of the people. Thats the lie for US voters. Does mass murdering Philipinos, toppling democratically elected Iran government etc been for freedom of the people? Those are long way back, people.... It is freedom for the Empire! Even MAGA is not for US voters.
@ I can’t agree more. That is because the British people in general are more educated than the American people so yes they don’t elect as morons as the Americans.
Amazing talk! Every word resonates. Unfortunately, looking at the blank faces in the audience, and the ones staring at their phones... The average person is more interested in self-promotion and securing their own welfare than assuring those aspects for all.
Well self interest in this circumstances demands that we take into account that humans are a social creature and not an isolated being. The word We describes better how I can prosper in a more secure world where cooperation rather than competition will take us forward.
@@svenhanson398 Humans are anything but social creatures. At best, we're tribal, and even that's questionable. Current events prove it, and what's going on today reflects 'civilization's history. I'd go so far as to say we're selectively tribal, as most would sacrifice their own if it was to their own benefit.
@@Phuckitall I disagree, as the professor points out, the conflicts in the world are between small cabals in different countries that decide the course of their countries, the vast majority would much rather live peacefully with their neighbors, you don't get to decide the financial, military or any other direction/stance, if even that, you just get to decide which one the people *they select,* to represent you.
Deliberating about how the world could be and asking ourselves "why not?" That's what the Chinese leadership does, asking itself where should Chinese trade, industry, diplomacy and foreign direct investment be in 5, 10, 20 years? They're not only steadfast, but consequent. A multipolar world. That's how it could be... And will be.
Take this with a grain of salt. Some intellectuals in the states themselves, such as Alfred McCoy, said the empire would fall by 2025 way back in 2010. So, no worries it could before you know it lol
@@bigjs8821 "Intellectuals" from all over the world said in the 1980s that the oceans would rise by EIGHTY FEET by 2000 if we didn't do something NOW! We did nothing but increase consumption, and forty years later the oceans have risen zero inches. So much for intellectuals. I'm all for peace and conservation and have been my whole life, but the revered "intellectuals" are often crackpots, opportunists, and wannabe dictators. “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.

There is no We The People in the US. We The Money only.

I deeply appreciate this forum. It is very close what Beetles sang on ‘Imagine’. I don’t know why we keep giving our own will and power to fews. We really can do this. Technology of realtime voting for any issue. And we can gather around as people and form what we really hoping for. I don’t wanna corky or sarcastic on the future. Simply that’s not cool as smartasses are wishing. We can seriously do this all. I wish all people who watch this know that.
I agree with you and Chas Freeman. A pole is an end point. A node is a connection point, which is what is actually the point for BRICS. Connections, not end points.
You don't understand America is done dealing with the International Community for now we need to get ourselves together and we're going to just text you people to do business with us
'Without a vision there will be no future.' This is exactly where our politicians fail - none of them have a vision of anything different to what we have now.
Yeah in the West people can vote by they cannot choose, because the contest is in between two new imperialist capitalist eg Democrats and Republicans, labour and Conservative
He means you can vote for your next klown but you can't choose what they do, because the lobbyists, especially the men with little hats, the oil industry, the military industrial complex, calls the shots. Those are the "men in black".

It gives me respite that as I live my days cruising the Web, that People all over the World stand up and show an UNAMBIGUOUS level of intelligence and integrity that leads most of us to think that there is a future for the Human Being. Wonderful. I only wish that the alchemy of all these people FOUND A WAY TO COME TOGETHER AND COAGULATE around the ideas that THIS SPEAKER was presenting crystal clear, which ideas most of us carries constantly within ourselves, had a chance to jell into actual reality. Sooner rather than later.
