Christopher Steele is a former MI6 Officer who worked with the intelligence services for over two decades. He ran the Russia desk at the MI6 headquarters in London before co-founding a private intelligence firm. He authored the dossier that concluded Russia had collected a file of compromising information on Donald Trump.
ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
I thought the dossier was proved to be fake. Whats this guy talking about, it's as if he doesnt know it was a fake sourced dossier.
Exactly. A proven forgery.
also the dodgy dossier he supplied to hillary clinton on the trump russia gate proven lies !!!!
but but Russia bad, remember
I got the same impression. This man is utterly dishonest.
There is a huge distinction between "proved" and "purported." Public gullibility has, obviously, obfuscated the difference.
Isn't this guy the center of Russiagate?
Explain to me what that is
@@lwells3937 a fabricated report which started a years long investigation into Donald trump which turned out to be based on nothing but lies and hearsay
@@aidan11162 you've described cult 45 and the big lie. Trump is a loser. All that propaganda putin put fourth worked in 2016. But, when your radicalized you attack the Capitol.
@@lwells3937 yep. Trump is a loser. Hes also egotistical and in my opinon incompetent. But, russiagate was a thing as well, and this guy was at the center of it.
@Bleb:
Yup! That's the one. Him,
Adam Schiff, James Comey, the demon-rat party, MI5/6, & of course- Killary. Liars ALL: the Russian "collusion" hoax has been definitively DISPROVEN, & some of the lower level, expendable stooges already convicted.
Its hard to believe that this man is on any public platform after being so discredited and exposed recently .
A compromised character..
He worked for Hilary Clinton to discredit republicans as part of 2016 US presidential campaign. Provided her with the falsified documents. How much he was paid for doing so? What value system is he talkign about? Clearly not his own.
@@annawarner1078 he didn’t put together the dossier to discredit republicans. As many rino republicans were in on it. He did it specifically to target president trump. Details matter.
Unbelievable
he is just spitting propaganda
Oxford has shown a lack of integrity and ignorance
Clearly!
Why? compared to what?
@@alanmoore2197 A dossier on Donald Trump based on lies.... A mere attempt to assassinate Trump's character and Oxford allow a man of this character to appear speak in front of Oxford students. It appears that Oxford is apart of the same corruption.
The integrity is bonded to the kind of people in its faculty.
If the quality of the people drops everything else will follow.
Is this the Steele of the dossier of the same name?
If so, why isn’t he in jail?
No. He’s got a platform! Like so many skullduggerous players.
Proving my original point.
@@Threemore650 Christopher Steele is a man of honor and a man with great knowledge of Russia. Donald Trump is a dishonorable man who lies daily, and who had virtually no knowledge of Russia's long term motivations and capabilities as he played his transactional games. Who would you believe and based on what? Unhinged right wing media attacks on Steele did not prove he was wrong - only that there there was insufficient evidence to prove beyond doubt he was right - that is the nature of "single source" intelligence - as this was always billed. It is almost certainly mostly true - due to the careful way it was actually sourced - you bellyaching about your preferred failed President doesn't change that. Time will tell and you will be proven wrong - get ready for it.
I trust the opinions of this man as much as I trust his dirty dossier..
I had a double take when I saw it come up.
I hope this -so far obviously not even alive long enough- person asks some good questions. It isn't looking hopeful.
True you are if Truth still has a meaning.
Nobody has ever been able to contradict this guy's findings. Nobody. They have tried. I bought it fresh off the press Read his book, it's fascinating.
@@corryjookit7818 if it’s a fabrication, it’s virtually impossible to refute. “When did you stop beating your wife”… if you smear someone with grease, then soap might not be able to get it out.

In this world it doesn't matter how clever you are, it matters how able you are to discern truth from lies.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. What, exactly, do you think “clever” _means?_ America’s biggest liability is the forty percent who aren’t _clever enough_ to do precisely that! Differentiate between fact and fiction. And you’ve self-identified as quite likely being their leader. Congratulations.
Also , such low level conversation/ propagandas is targeting ppl whose IQ are 6ft underground .
@@maekong2010 Clever as in this lecture was at Oxford University. You have to be clever to get into Oxford University. But being
clever doesn't mean you have discernment.
@@jamesmusker6454 l’ve already congratulated you once. Don’t make me do it again. Semantics really doesn’t seem to be your thing. Cleverness is a key aspect of perceptiveness. Perceptiveness is a synonym for discernment, at the level that at least l am discussing. Regardless, your attempts to besmirch his capabilities and character speak more to your shortcomings than his, in my estimation.
Discovering the truth is an impossible task.
I can't believe giving a guy legitimacy who created a "dossier" based on 1 person with little to no corroboration.
I heard him say that most of the information came from Russian sources. Sounds like he was vetting and compiling them.
#Trumptard
I think, I think...think of it like a telescope, if you like, if you will. Pompous Douche
He provided an assessment of his sources. What was he supposed to do? Conceal information from his clients?
If a drug addicted, ex convict gave you an account that you thought was spurious, you have an obligation to pass that information on with the appropriate qualifications as to its veracity.

the entire globe has lost much hard-fought ground in the war for human rights. the appetite amongst the elite for unrivaled dictatorships across the globe has never been so insatiable. never before in history has corporate interests been so completely able to stifle any whisper of resistance to their whim or their will. we are, as a whole, standing on the last inch of liberty bequeathed to us, as a legacy, by the sacrifices of the greatest generation of our times.
Dude most of the world is under dictatorship lol in fact freedom house and studies have show liberal democracies have covered 50 percent of the globe. As of 2006 the number of liberal democracy have declined . ...... that tells you people dint believe liberal democracy is the best system i agree its naive to say something needs to be enforced on others especially a political system . Sovereignty is important if people want to have an authoritarian regime so what??? Why does it concern you?? Most people dont like liberal democracy whether you agree or not is irrelevant
Also you assume the people are craving for liberal democracy in fact thats another western myth surveys have shown people will give up rights and freedom for stability in many countries so its important to know the elites are not the only ones who find authoritarian regimes necessary the people prefer it over democracy. Its there choice so stop compliance and whining about soreading democracy which failed
This guy is a liar for political figures. Why listen to anything he says?
@Scot Fretwell:
Whilst I understand the insidious & seductive lure of the rhetoric your detractor has fallen for, he's mistaken in believing that they're gonna STOP stealing our liberties away from us under the transparent & fraudulent insistence of "health emergencies" & "climate catastrophies" etc, etc. Unless he actually LIKES & WANTS a society where there's a camera trained on you at all times, your OWN devices surveill you, & you are to follow the arrowed lines & stand on the spot in the ground. It comes down to THIS- "Those who trade Liberty
for the pretence of security will receive NEITHER!". It will NOT END until they've removed our very right to HAVE rights! They should go into rumble & search "The Fall of the Cabal" & WATCH it, EVERY episode, to see how NOTHING of our history & it's events has been the result of the random auspices of fate, these events are ALL engineered & LONG planned, & planned to take us toward a VERY dark & bleak ultimate eventuality. People have to STOP sleepwalking toward the imminent cliff's edge that they're being unwittingly herded toward, & wake the F*CK UP!! We're heading into REAL trouble. A civilized society, TRULY civilized, has as FEW laws & interference & oversight as possible. Look how MUCH tyranny & control we've ALREADY been conditioned & programmes into accepting!! I do NOT want to exist in a "wear the muzzle😷, stand in the frikking spot in the ground, check your privilege/ pronouns/ carbon footprint/ "thinking"/ speech/etc". I
was a kid in the 70's, & THIS current totalitarian, dystopian nightmare does NOT represent "progress" in anything OTHER than the purely technological sphere, & THIS technology will become (already HAS) our very own "smart"-prison: tracked & traced from cradle to grave........
Spoken like a true university educated m0ron
Its amazing how people havent woken up to the lack of integrity of this man even after he has been exposed . So sad to see that .
I believe everything he's written and checked for the truth so far has been shown to be TRUE!
STOP SPREADING LIES!
#TheBlueBoy 911. Who investigated him ? Who exposed him ? I'm one of many still wanting to know. Please sort it out for me, then I can get back to Dinner. Which books do you read ? I like to believe we're not soley reading just ONE example of an author about the subject of my focus. I would never have used just ONE .
@@molly5292 Are you supporter of Hilary Clinton? She hired Steele to come up with the dirt on Trump during 2016 election campaign. And dirt he came up with. Not necessary the truth.
@@annawarner1078 and that ‘information’ was used to literally spy on Trump, his campaign and his administration. @Molly before accusing others, answer for the sins of your leaders. Oh, that’s right, you can’t. You’re a bot (or NPC, whatever, same thing).
@@Dude0000 That is true. Hilary did not hesitate to use foreign power (MI6) to spy on American citizen. What does it make her - a trader?

he's not trump, a clearly compromised clown giving info to his handlers in the oval office (something we in the US only learned of from ruusian tv) or another clown like bojo, who's only slightly less inept than trump.
You'll only believe RT? But OK, T***p didn't believe US Intel either.
The only question I would have, is "How the fuck are you not in prison?"
You and millions of others. Yes!
follow up question: how much did Hillary pay you?
@C. I. obviously, holeary didn't pay him enough to stay underground and out of sight. Wonder how much money he's made since going public? How much did Comey pay him? Imagine that! Appearing before an audience at OXFORD and as a result causing the reputation of that formerly esteemed school to go lower than an online American diploma mill.
😂😂😂
True!
💖🙏🌻
For what, writing up stuff he heard on the street. Did he say it under oath in a court of law? Did he publish it, or was it "leaked". What prison? Whose prison? Let Trump take him to court for deformation of character. The same guy who said " grab them by the pussy!".. Deformation of his character. Make me laugh. Yea he's a character all right!
wait, people are still listening to this guy? Asking this guy about disinformation is exquisite irony.
This man used a phony "intelligence report" as political dirt for a paid client. Abysmal.
you don't seem to understand what he said very precisely - it's a set of single-sourced intelligence reports that were never designed to be released publicly.
Yes!!!! And why the host isn't bombarding him with questions about that very subject shows just how stupid and selfish the left is!!! They're totally disingenuous an frankly, bad people at heart!!!
@@markhahn0 They were released publicly with tremendous political effect. I don't believe him. He's an opportunist looking for advantage when he can find it.
@@robertholmes12 Motivation is a fallacious argument. If one can't criticise the content of the documents, perhaps having not read them, one impugns the author. Just like qanon/trump types criticising Fauci rather than what Fauci says.
@@markhahn0 If motives don't matter then why do people do what they do? Random chance? Motives matter, they don't solely matter but they have serious impact on human decision-making. The contents of the report are false regardless of motives. He concocted a collusion tale about Russia and Trump with a single, dubious source, Igor Danchenko and was paid by political operatives to do it. See the Mueller Report.
People should know that sending the jets wasn't even Poland's idea, it was Josep Borrell (the EU foreign policy chief) who came up with the whole thing on 28th feb (you can confirm it easily from whatever source you trust). Poland has responded perfectly in this messy situation as a member of NATO.
Of course it was Borrell at the EU. Until 2014, Ukraine's neutrality was doing fine until Caroline Ashton, Borrell's predecessor, turned up in Kiev with Guido Westerwelle, Victoria Nuland and John McCain to encourage the crowd to depose a government they had democratically elected because it had signed a finance package with Russia.

It is baffling how quickly the media is ready to rehabilitate this lunatic.
Really? - I think most has proven to be true already - perhaps all of it is true? Believing political bullshit is the real issue - you guilty of that?
@@alanmoore2197 so you didnt listen or read the muller report.. lol where did you hear its true , from the same media that pushed it for 3 years ... majority was made up , the document was paid for by the Clintons and put together by a Company run by a reporter who employed this Political Agent
Yeah and who was up to no good with Miller and skriperoo
My Father was in MI6 throughout the Cold War...and he'd turn in his grave at what a weak, pathetic Country we've become.
It was also a pretty rubbish country back in your father's day, though. Nostalgia for the good old days tends to obscure the ugly realities that constituted the "strength" of such nations.
@@evakavka2974 Indeed! Remember Suez? Singapore? Dunkirk?
@@evakavka2974 Totally agreed. As expected everything this guy said is untruth.
I looked at the old British empire very differently now. I have come to realised we are not some benevolent force, but are in reality global oppressors, we steal, we create chaos, coups, instigate wars such as those in Ukraine. At first I believed the usual rhetoric "freedom and democracy", but sadly I now know better.
You gotta give credit where credit's due, we do excel at propaganda which is why many in UK thinks Russia is the agressor in the Ukraine conflict but little did people know, that it is US that has orchestrated, instigated this conflict nor that it is US, uk that has trained neo nazis which has now infiltrated Ukraining govt, remember we did train ISIS, Al Qaeda too, so this is not surprising at all. US will train any forces in order to elicit chaos to used to our benefit.
The don't call us Perfidious Albion for no reason. Sure many countries aren't perfect, but we are beyond imperfect, we are borderline psychopathic or at least those in power. Let that sink in for a moment.
I urge to look into Oliver Stone's Ukraine on Fire 2016 documentary and Revealing Ukraine 2019, which is a followup to the first, it truly is eye opening and will explain how we ended up here and guess what... US intervention is all over the place.
It also give insight into who is more like to to have shot down MH17.
Take a chance and have a look for yourself.
@L L No, it explains it, much like it explains why the US did similar or worse in the middle east, much as its allies in the region do, for even more cynical reasons - you are just too blinded or stupid to accept what motivates state actors to act the way they do, and what that poster said is very much the tip of the ice berg as to why Russia, after several attempts to de-escalate, is dealing with a problem on its backdoor instigated by the US and EU enacting regime change in Ukraine to their benefit. This isn't to say Putin and Russia have no agency, but the point is he hasn't just gone mad and this isn't merely a case of naked aggression on his part. You may not agree with what Putin is doing, but that's a separate matter as to what explains it... but you continue stroking yourself for being such a "good person" who gets enraged about things when the BBC/Channel 4/*insert other western propaganda outlet* talking head tells them to.
Post Brexit UK looks pathetic. 44 years of right wing governments has seen the UK tumble in the global rankings.
On behalf of the American people, I wish Christopher Steele would tell this administration to read up on WWI, & PULL BACK!!! It isn't WWII, it's WWI---- stupid loss of life, millions upon milluons lost for one small country.
the bear is never satisfied with a small bite. the aim here is to give the bear a massive bellyache, perhaps even a terminal one.
Britain promised to support Little Belgium. Maybe, it doesn't make those promises anymore.
I was thinking of Boris Pasternak; even if I never read his books: We're burning an important bridge.
Russia isn't a [Bev...Hi..] 90210 Country. It has a great past. It shouldn't be unceremoniously bashed like this.

Long live the Russian Secret Service Comrades
If you literally just replaced criticism Russia with the west you will be much closer to the truth.
Yep🖒. It's like those in the West are quite happy to ignore the atrocities & falsehoods perpetrated by (for example) the US & UK: the notorious "Highway of Death" incident in Iraq, where the US bombed a convoy of civilian refugees, fleeing the carpet bombing of their urban population centres, the use of unutterably horrific phosphorus & hyperbaric bombs/ weapons there (& in Afghanistan), the spectacular deception about "weapons of mass destruction" & the murder of British Dr.David Kelly (BY the Brutish intelligence services) for trying to expose it & halt the slaughter before it began, (the UK population were unanimously opposed to the invasion of Iraq, but when did THAT ever matter(?), Syria, Somalia,
Yemen (etc)?? The proxy
wars, deliberate outside interference with & destabilization of sovereign territories, the formation/training/ arming & funding of terrorist groups & replacement of elected leaders with western directed puppets. The stage managed & choreographed disingenuous moral outrage of the west, having deliberately turned a blind eye towards, & chosen NOT to report any of the above (almost numberless) atrocities committed by the West (principally the US & UK) is both laughable & obscene. Appalling hypocrisy by the western
leaders & their lying lapdog/attack dog media. These terrible conflicts should never be
bolstered by the "pick a side, any side" (& it better be the RIGHT one)
mentality, but, sadly, TRUTH is always the first casualty of every war. MY loyalties lie with the brutalized, terrorized,
innocent, ORDINARY people, who just want it all to STOP. There are always atrocities, casualties & war crimes committed by BOTH sides, & when & wherever a situation deteriorates into open conflict, the saturation of
propaganda permeates the perceptual cognition & societal ethos of all involved. There IS no valid-"but THEY started it!" because the ordinary person has no apprehension whatsoever of what may,
or may not be the truth. They certainly ain't gonna get it from the politicians or mainstream media of those involved, or ANY outside party with a potential vested interest in the outcome. I just hope & pray that it ALL ends soon. I refuse to cheerlead for ANY of the
human carnage.

😄😁😆OK meathead
I am from the USA, and I would first like to say how much I enjoy this channel, The Oxford Society, and th very insightful, but very controled way you all discuss these matters with your guests.
Here in the US, debate has truly died. Instead it has degenerated into intransigence, with both sides of our political system resorting to name calling and other personal attacks, rather than trying to work together and resolve a particular issue. Its utterly childish.
I am 56, I worked in the intelligence side of federal law enforcement for 22 years, and since the second Bush administration, we basically have not had a truly functioning government and it's gotten worse not better. Almost as soon a Obama was elected, the two political parties threw away reason, and intellectual discussion on issues, and adopted a childish stance of disagreeing, and not working together simply over political affiliation. The Republicans would not cooperate with the Democrats and vice versa, no matter how critical the issue.
The same happened under the Trump administration and continues under the current Biden administration.
Through these last three administrations true democracy and real debate has virtually died. Neither side will work with the other. And based on my background I have often considered the idea that this situation has been engineered by foreign governments hostile to Western, and particularly, American democracy and ideologies.
Western democratic governments , by virtue of needing to stand for elections on a regular basis, tend to focus on short term, while the world's dictatorships like Russia, China and others do not have to worry about re-election, so they can focus on very long term plans. And I firmly believe the dictatorships have been, long term, doing their level best to disrupt western democratic nation's political systems and processes and also western alliances.
What keeps democracy, in any country, alive is debate and a willingness to compromise. No solution to a problem is ever perfect, but in the past, different political parties were willing to sit at the table, and focus on the needs of the population and forge a working functional government and working solutions.
To make matters worse, for myriad reasons, the people of the world's democracies have forgotten that at their very core, the world's dictatorships want to see democracy fail and will do whatever it takes to make that happen.
Putin's invasion of the free, independent, sovereign, and democratic nation of Ukraine, has been galvanizing for the democracies, it has woken them from their reveries, and made them realize if democracy as a thriving political system is going to survive, it's time to put aside childish and petty ideas and work together.
And for those apologists out there for countries like Iran , North Korea and others, the world is seriously concerned about a world superpower pushing the nuclear button, there is no possible way that Iran or North Korea should ever have any nuclear capabilities whatsoever. Just imagine what would happen if they do have nuclear capabilities.
Keep up the great videos on this channel, you give me hope that democracy can still work in the modern age.
Well considered and intelligent comments. Unfortunately I think the people of the west do not seem to care that much. In a week or so the media will be onto another what celebrity did what story and this will be forgotten. The media only gives what the people want so it's not their fault. We are to busy looking in the vanity mirror to care.
,
Good points Bryan, but when corporations run western governments then democracy will die & this goes back decades.
"... this situation has been engineered by foreign governments hostile to Western, and particularly, American democracy and ideologies."
Can you say Fox News? This so-called news organization is not owned by an American. It is owned by Rupert Murdock, an Australian. It does Russia's bidding. I should really say Putin's bidding.
You think I'm kidding? Russian media is running Tucker Carlson as supporting the Russian side in the Ukraine war as we listen to this discussion.
You may want to say MSNBC is just as bad. I disagree. MSNBC's opinion talkers are based on reality. Fox's are not.
No comment on CNN. But I read the same things as MSNBC on ABC, CBS and PBS/NPR. They all aren't biased. Any one of them would report the truth even if it isn't the Dem party line because they would get more ratings by having the scoop. Fox News is based on crazy conspiracy theories and other non-reality.
I'm not familiar with Britian's news organizations to know who is who. However, I believe Murdock owns some British tabloids as well.
Otherwise, your post is exactly right. The GOP and Dems won't work together on anything. I personally believe the GOP is much worse. Can you say Margorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Madison Cawthorn, Louie Gomert, Tom Cotton, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Moscow Mitch McConnell, Leningrad Lindsey Graham, Ron Johnson and a whole host of others?
@@moonmunster Rupert Murdoch is an American. He revoked his citizenship and allegiance and became an American
@@moonmunster Rupert Murdoch owns The Wall Street Journal... And the New York Post, which uncovered Hunter Biden pimping all over Ukraine and China to line the pockets of "The Big Guy," who ordered Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was investigating his son's activities with Burisma. As V.P. in the Obama regime, Joe promised to withhold funding to Ukraine if they didn' t fire this prosecutor immediately. (before Joe left Ukraine within a few hours.) Ukraine complied on command and this great democracy - and the Bidens - continued to get their funding. This piece of reportage( in Murdoch's publication) was banned from social media by the new overlords of what we are allowed to see and hear. It was repressed under the same meme used by this British spy; i.e. , A slimy piece of Russian disinformation. Bad actors meddling in our elections are destroying the flow of honest information and this British spy is a rotter. The Big Guy is now begging Venezuela and other stalwart democracies for oil. None of this would have happened under Trump, who was not too righteous to demonize oil or to isolate Putin. British prigs are too prim and proper for the real world, which is why the Australian Murdoch became an " ugly American." I would take murdoch over The BBC and ABC, NBC and PBS as an honest news source 6 days a week and twice on Sunday. Too bad his boys are getting politically correct.

There were no lies - some elements aren't proven yet and may be inconclusive or wrong. But in general it has been proven to be overall accurate. Don't believe in political bullshit - its just bullshit...
Christopher Steele talks about collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians during the 2016 Presidential campaign with the intention of 'discrediting Hillary Clinton.' I don't wish to get into the controversies over that issue but might it not be the case that Hillary did a pretty good job of discrediting herself? Firstly, her sense of entitlement and secondly, and more importantly, insulting millions of prospective voters, 'basket of deplorables' I seem to remember being the phrase she used. Could one imagine an FDR or Reagan going out of their way to insult voters? Just a thought.
go deeper. you are not quite there. neither am i

Steele tried to go all out exposing political interference while ignoring the *fact* that Rupert Murdoch used British politicians to get BREXIT while they all claimed it was democracy in action.
@@hannahjames3180 As one who voted for Brexit I must disappoint you in that I voted on the issues rather than being subject to some manipulation. There had been a long current of EU scepticism in Britain. It started with the denial of a referendum over Maastricht, when other countries had been granted a referendum. We had been promised a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty which never materialised and remember, the first party to make an offer of a referendum were the LibDems back in 2009. Like him or loathe him there is no denying the energy and charisma of Nigel Farage, whose UKIP topped the polls in the 2014 Euro elections. Plus much of the media, including the influential BBC were for remain. So I find it hard to agree with your assertion that it was 'The Sun that won it!'
As we found in the 2019 General Election, insulting the electorate, as many celebrities did, was not a good strategy and voters reacted accordingly.

💯 Bingo. Are the young Brits even aware of his ongoing investigation and two indictments? While the indictments are small, some believe he has flipped key witnesses.

I would have expected a much higher level of debate coming from the Oxford Union! Very, very, very disappointing.
- this wasn't a debate, it was a question and answer session with a guest.......there are debates at The Union, this wasn't one of them nor was it intended to......
I would have expected you to know thus wasn't a debate.
The Oxford Union invited Pinocchio? I'm negatively impressed!
You must be a fan of the boy who cried stolen election.
I believe this lacks 2 types of questions: 1. questions that cannot be asked. 2. questions that cannot be answered..
In 1975 during Putin's training in the KGB a serious character flaw was flagged: Excessive risk taking as opposed to calculated risk. And was sent to Dresden instead of the more sensitive and important area of East Berlin.
What is your source for this information? The true story is that Putin worked for the GDR / DDR East German Stasi MfS in Dresden instead of working for the First Chief Directorate of the KGB because Putin was transferred to the Stasi MfS because of his German language speaking capabilities.
In July 2020 Justice Warby from the Queen's Bench Division of the British High Court of Justice ordered Steele to pay damages to Aven and Fridman who Steele claimed had delivered "large amounts of illicit cash" to Vladimir Putin when Putin was deputy mayor of St. Petersburg. Judge Warby said the claim was "demonstrably false" and awarded the damages to compensate "for the loss of autonomy, distress and reputational damage caused by the breaches of duty". The judge stated that Steele's dossier also inaccurately claimed that Aven and Fridman provided foreign policy advice to Putin
I didn't watch this, I find him totally discredited. Very glad to read in the comments that I'm not alone in that.
Christopher Steele, wow this is embarrassing....... Jokeshop
A Very dishonest Propagandist. He lied as profession all his life so never expected him to say anything different.
Please state and prove a single lie in this lecture or any previous statement. I notice you have done neither but have maligned his character. I would guess this is because his knowledgeable perspective jars with your narrow worldview. Jog on.
@@rlv360 Hahaha..If that uneducated position makes you feel good, that's fine by me. lol
One can only speculate as to what Mr. Steele was up to as an Mi6 agent in Russia from 1990 to 1993. How strange it never came up.
So your into conspiracy theories?
@@DeeDeeJohn17 no I think they're ridiculous. I did find it interesting he was more willing to discuss promoting fifth column actions in Iraq when she quizzed him on Afghanistan.
@@stewartlancaster6155 the installation of Yeltsin hasn't worked out so well, even after billions of dollars was flown in on pallets in the dead of night.
@@stewartlancaster6155 based on this interview I doubt he was ever there for more than brief periods at a time, which means he is a charlatan.
His accent is peculiarly unimpressive, but in other interviews he does talk about his time when living in Moscow.
I find the hosts for these events don’t ask particularly incisive questions, very run of the mill predictable questions, the attendees ask much better questions.
And little follow-up, such as *why* for example has the UK become so polarised. In any event, he was being, perhaps understandably, rather circumspect.
It appears that the host's questions are pre-approved. In this case, she is reading from a list and really doesn't listen to the response for any follow-up. My issue is that the responses are not challenged. For instance, Mr. Steel responds with some answers that we now know are factually challenged. Yet he is allowed to continue unchallenged. Probably due to unprepared/uninformed host or attendees. Very disappointing, I was hoping for specific questions regarding his relationships with FBI and CIA, and how he fabricated a report and profited greatly from it.
@Jeff Bevan:
Nope! It's like THEY give the (so called) "interviewer" the list of "suggested lines of enquiry" for perusal. I'd have asked them things like-"So..... the fraudulent
deployment of the "D" notices (defence notice) to protect & facilitate our privileged political/ aristocratic & celebrity child predators- HARDLY a matter of "national security" IS it? What's going on with THAT then? ARE they actually being protected by the edifices of "intelligence", & that BEING the case, then WHY?? I think we'd ALL like to know? Clearly, Savile could NEVER have blithely strolled in & outta the palace WITHOUT having been THOROUGHLY investigated in advance, so, what the hell's going ON??". Something like THAT, maybe.....??
Were the softball questions approved in advance? The host could have watched the movie "The Plot Against the President" @PATPmovie, a documentary by Amanda Milius, to educate herself. ("The True Story of the Biggest Political Scandal in U.S. History". Based on the book by Lee Smith.)
@@mjtcpa I noticed this particularly with her questions about his time in Russia "in the 90s you worked in Moscow, what did you learn from this experience? About the culture?" the guy was an Mi6 agent in Moscow during a revolution! I think it's apparant he was doing more than going to the ballet.

I never understood the idea that Trump is stooge of Putin. No one was more steadfast in opposing Europe’s bankrolling of Putin via vast energy imports from Russia than Donald Trump. He continuously opposed, (maybe hectored is a better word) Angela Merkel for her utter contempt for NATO commitments. Europe laughed at Trump’s warnings ( half of America laughed too).
It's menticide, straight out of 1984 double think/speak.
He also started sending weapons to Ukraine, which infuriated Russia.
Painful! 😨😵🤕

The Ukraine should remain a neutral buffer state after this invasion and should not join the EU and NATO. Nor should it be aligned with Russia, of course. The Ukraine should trade with the whole world on its own terms, attract foreign investment and fight its own endemic corruption levels.
That still does not get rid of the problem of Russian chauvinism.
@@glasgowgrad6277 The problem of Russian chauvinism being antagonised by western chauvinism*

You have no idea what chauvinism means do you?
Will the same go for Poland and the Baltic States ?
Ukraine should do what it's people and leadership choose. If they want to join the EU and NATO, and they fulfil the criteria for membership, why shouldn't they take the opportunity? The only reason to say not is that they should bow to Russian demands.
Fascinating to hear from Steele eventually.
His ability to casually slip from blatant falsehoods to distorted narratives was masterful… completely contemptuous but masterful.
Indeed. If they ever bring one in, he should get a Nobel Prize in Con artistry.
Totally, it's amazing how much he is in his comfort zone when he talks like this, you can see why he'd make an effective spy.
A complete con artist. Their audience just got conned
He is an accomplished liar. The CIA, FBI and DHS did a coup d'etat against the United States in 2020. Christopher Steel should be in prison at Leavenworth.
How it must disappoint you to realize that the "stolen" election was 2016.
A lot of scholars warned against NATO expanding eastwards. Sweden is a neutral country. Sweden doesn't need to join NATO.
After Ukraine, any country with a border with Russia will be seriously considering this option......
it would be great if a lot of europeans were to follow the lead of switzerland although much of their money is dirty ...but definitely sweden ...volvo trucks are great
Nato is purely defensive, and would only ever deploy if attacked, though in Bosnia it did to stop a potential genocide/war crime in a protected area.
It is in NO major country's benefit to unilaterally invade anyone.
As even Russia is finding out. They can wreck and kill, but can only finish badly damaged, and for a long time. Pity the Russian people, as well as Ukraine.
Putin's NATO expansion claim is a red herring. Russia herself applied to join NATO after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and just as Ukraine later on, they were rejected because they did not fulfill the requirements. NATO doesn't coerce or even invite EE countries to join NATO. Also, the direction most of the refugees are running in this war tells you where the danger is.
Sweden stay on that fence selling iron ore and wood products! Oh and Saab military kit. 😋

@@user-ww1yg1fq5r So is Putin
A tremble that we are reliant on these compromised characters for warning
Interesting discussion, but one thing totally missing was the role of Energy. Russia as the world's largest oil exporter and supplier of much of western Europe's gas. Even ignoring Russia, and for that matter Belarus, being major suppliers of all sorts of commodities essential for industry and agriculture, I'm afraid this rather major ignored factor is an enormous ace up Putin's sleeve. The west probably has 6 months before this situation becomes untenable for their economies and stagflation, recession and progression to depression becomes irreversible. If Ukraine can't beat off Russia in that time frame and leave Putin in a much weakened state, forcing him to negotiate, then any releases from the finite SPR stockpile will become increasingly ineffective! Once that reserve is gone, things start to get interesting.
A year later and look at the chickens runnnn!
one of the better oxford union Q&A out there. student moderator was good at prompting further response by Steele. audiences' questions were also reasonable and relevant to the times.

The pandemic comments were short sighted. Yes, china handled the initial phase of the pandemic better; their authoritarian system allowed them to exercise tight controls over personal freedoms quickly, something the west was reluctant to do. However, zero-covid is not a long-term strategy, especially with new variants. Now the same system that allowed China to perform well in the beginning has become detrimental, with them unwilling to change strategy to save face, and low vaccination rates among elderly.
The world is struck by the wars coming out 2 sources: covid biological war and presently by the limited operation on the Ukraine territory.
