all empires will come to an end,just read about passed empires,the Roman empire lasted for all most a thousand of years it came to an end,so the present America Imperialism will also come to an end thank God.
@@antoniodefilippo8484 Totally agree with you. I always enjoy a good chuckle when the Washington types like to pat themselves on the back about how America was the strongest ever ‘empire’ in history when historians would not accord such an accolade to even a thousand year-old Roman Empire.
@@antoniodefilippo8484except the Romans didnt have the ability to wipe humanity from earth. To think the American empire would fall without anything less than nuclear conflagration is to ignore the American ruling class as themselves believing that they are gods representatives on earth. Literally millions of Americans think Jesus Christ was American.
Could not agree more ! I was born in Scotland of Irish heritage and in Britain there were two main jumping off points from Ireland. Glasgow and Liverpool. Not surprisingly both these areas were the poorest and most neglected in Britain. In the case of the region in Glasgow called the Gorbles, it was voted the most deprived region in "Europe " We Irish wont ever forget the days in 1846 when the entire potato crop failed due to a freak blight, and the government of Britain which was supposed to protect us , simply sat back and watched over one million Irish people die. At the height of that famine, boat loads of prime dairy products were regularly being shipped out of Ireland, over to the tables of the English upper classes.
Is their any injustice in the world she isnt aware of or cant talk for hours about, asking all the right questions? Her mind is a truly incredible thing to behold. Its a shame that more young women arent as deeply passionate about geopolitical struggles as Rania. Just think how much better planet earth would be if the political sphere wasnt dominated by old, rich men. Rania is the future we all need. ❤
I agree, and her charisma is great! And those moments when she giggles over something, often something dark, makes me always laugh 'cos I get it, so do many of us. I mean, it might be some dark things that turn to be dark humour jokes, kinda, but I would never judge her or anything because she is always on point and really understands the many many hardships across the world. She is a treasure. And beautiful
The o.p isn't completely wrong though. Many nations that were allied to Europe are not aligning themselves with the U.S. Ion know if she had dirt on everybody or what but her death has people feeling bold n we love to see it ✊🏾
I agree with the saying that the British/European colonization has converted people of the lesser nation to their values/international order for over 200 years, unfortunately, people of lesser nation always seek for a better quality of life and look for shelter from the political / economical disaster created by colonization, this is a vicious clamp on countries struggling to be independent and conserve their own civilization. I have rejected my HongKong colonial education and see the UK as the true pirates who barged their way into other countries and looted their wealth and resources. And yet the native residents will kowtow and be glad for any breadcrumbs. The world is on the brink of war and it’s scary to see what the US will do to push everyone else over the cliff except themselves.
Instead of people of lesser nations, maybe just people. Lesser depends on what you value... valuing clean air, fresh water, freedom, sunshine and family would make the west the lesser nations. And at the time of colonialism they didn't have the resources they do now, those people they stole from were often experts in their environment.
Carolloh I agree and disagree with you. That’s great you reject you Hong Kong school brainwashing. But don’t go and believe mainland China brainwashing. ALL GOVERNMENTS BRAINWASH OR INDOCTRINATE. I live in Utah. Even here they brainwash. We have a black history month and learn about black slavery but there’s no Native American month and zero talks about how native Americans did own other native Americans and even black slaves. See that’s omitting information is important for brainwashing too. We must teach people only white people ever owned slaves. They also don’t teach how the English or British would kick out the Irish and let them freeze to death I. Ireland. The Irish were worth less then slaves because at least blacks that were slaves would have been tried to be kept alive because at least slaves were viewed as an asset. The Irish were just killed like a rodent. But that’s not taught cause racially we’re not supposed to think some people aren’t white. It’s like now magically if you’re from europe you’re white haha. Point is don’t even trust China. Maybe trust China more then the UK if you live in Hong Kong, but like I live In the U.S. and know the government lies tk me every day. They say carbon is bad but then Obama and Biden emit vast amounts of carbon as they murder people in foreign wars the U.S. shouldn’t be in. It’s sad though to see people not able to think critically which most Americans suffer from not able to look at two sides of a problem.
On the topic of India & Neo-Imperialism, I must note the story of India's State of Kerala, in which its people made use of the very first democratic elections in 1953, after gaining independence from British rule in 1948 to vote to be Governed by the Indian Communist Party! But by 1954 the CIA & the American & British Diplomats had sabotaged its implementation, and bribed the Federal Government of India to rewrite its constitution to strip Kerala of its ability to choose its own government, by removing its right to self-govern, cancelling any elections.
The Brithish empire, was good for Britons and the Queen, now the king, but it was a disaster, for the rest of the world, despite their good words, about democratie, law & order, and all the rest of it, yet, we all know, the facts.😢❤
Thank you for finally bringing my favourite podcaster Sina Rahmani. Sina has a unique way with words and thoughts that one can never expect. He is a brilliant and creative individual and I hope he will appear in more shows like this one.
I just love this brother's analysis of the history of empires ❤and they always go out of their way to steal all of the riches for the interests of the weathy power elites while mantaining the empovershment of the vast majortity of the population. Keep up the great work Renia.
As a Canadian we truly are an appendage of the US and Britain, just look around at NATO, 5 Eyes, pledging allegiance to the queen/king, our money with the picture of the queen, major companies everywhere in Canada, also many Brits hold management positions.
Uuuh!!! What a relief!!🤗 Sina Rahmani is the first and only Iranian / Canadian with this perspective in Canada!!🎊 🎉 Educated, smart!! 🤗👏👏👏 Thank you Rania Khalek for have awesome people in your program!!🙏🤗👏👏🌈 PS,, Another Canadian which I listen to is Aaron Mate!!🤗👏🙏

You young people are courageous, creative ,continue what you do because you inform and educate . The Universe bless you, you are the hope of the future.
@susanarupolo2212 Young people are usually alway brave because they have yet to figure out everything that will be used against them. Be brave young people but be careful.
We Elders have a responsibility to assist with the change! I am not much older than these two journalists and we all must fight! We all helped to allow what has been happening to our world by these elitists.
@@cggh2892 You are right. Feeling helpless helps the elitists a whole lot. However helping themselves so greedily presents an optic that is apt to be challenged...by elder and young person alike. The world really does not have either room or time for this type of elite. Currently you get to license your brand of violence if you have a certain amount of cash. Suddenly NATO is on your side! But you gotta have a couple of billion somethings at least.
People need to realize Britain and the British Empire absolutely were liberators. They liberated people from their own culture and land, and when circumstances proved difficult, they were even so generous as to liberate people from their lives.
I am from Irish heritage and my parents would call the union Jack the "Buthers Apron" referring to all the people the Empire slaughtered. BTW Charles Dickens was a fervent critic of the upper classes in England. Many of his novels had figures of repression and cruelty in it . He made no bones about going after the wicked work houses, the debtor prisons, child labor, wife abuse , abuse in the education system. William Shakespeare had no issues painting Jews in a bad light. Shylock in the Merchant of Venice and, Fagin in Oliver Twist. Two of his most famous characters. It is only a very small segment of the British population which supports the entitled upper class system. Sadly, there is a majority of completely gullible fools in the working classes who still support the Monarchy. I am out of it now, left Scotland in 1981 and never returned.
I don’t know where you got that figure from. What you are presumably talking about is the concept of land owned by the Crown in right of Canada. It is a legal construct. The land is NOT owned by King Charles III personally.
A legal construct. Exactly. So if you were to go to the courts, you would find that the land is legally the property of the monarch. This would be backed up by the police, and ultimately the Canadian Armed Forces. And who is the commander in chief of the CAF? Chuck da Turd, that's who.@@drianej
*It's great how Rania Khalek keeps her face on screen when her guest speaks without pause for ten minutes. As she smiles and says "Yeah. Yeah.", she represents all of us smiling too.* 😄😄😄
Sina Rahmani just helped to confirm many thoughts I've had. Ty for the words of explanations of wth is going on between US, UK, Canada & various countries. Appreciate the perspective.
Keep the broad talks...going, we all need fountain...at times....bringing your nice reflections and insights. International game we have been hooked to....get a whole new. breakthrough thinking... Organizational activity...my sister. So appreciated. Charming. Respect.
You know if you take into account the Roman Empire history. The current West uses the playbook of the Roman Empire. The French, Spain, Portugal, Germany, England, and The Nordic & Scandinavians all really tried to take the Mantle of the Roman Empire. It was the British Empire that won. And then the US took over after the British Empire lost the position. The history and playbook of the Roman Empire are almost identical. Which by the way the Roman Empire took over for the Greek Empire and used the playbook of the Greek Empire. And the Ottomans also seem to use similar playbooks. Which is not really a surprise as Constantinople was the last vestige of the Roman Empire. And the country which was part of the Ottoman Empire that is called Turkey. Behaves much the same way. And the Indian government also seems to mirror at least domestically the domestic playbook of the Western colonial powers at home.
Bravo Sina Rahmani! Tremendous amount of thanks for this valuable discussion!! Thanks Rania for this interview! Have watched it 3 times so far!! 🙏🙏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
They thought when they left European Union their plan was to have a total control of Africa. They immediately start opening more and more embassies and declared they’re going to do business with Africa. This’s the second coming of scramble for Africa. Unless African countries get their act together like India and pushing back on the western neocolonialism it’ll cause a lots of pain and difficulties to come. Unite and draw your line saying trade but no military or imperialism agenda to control Africa.
"A symphony of hegemonic power" is a great and kind of poetic way to describe the horrors of American Empire and its client states such as the UK, which is nothing but a client state of the US in all but name. Yet the ruling class in the US, despite being a descendant of UK aristocracy, managed to absorb that ideology and take it to its logical conclusion, the genocide of an entire continent of formerly independent peoples. Which is why we say land back. Its not about some semblance of revenge, its about justice on settler occupied lands. And settler colonialism is by its very nature a crime against humanity as well as the main contributor to genocide over the last few centuries.
48:00 I’ve always felt this exact way. Classic narcissism. The worst part however is that they have committed tremendous resources to planning what they would do in the case of nuclear war and how they would save themselves when all humanity is obliterated. They have made complex plots for how they might live underground or escape into space if the earth became uninhabitable and how they would go about perpetuating the human race slowly thereafter. This perverted and obscene truth frightens me more than anything. They’ve already proven their disdain for us so nothing is stopping them from pulling the final trigger.
EXACTLY‼️ Perfectly said. THIS VIDEO NEEDS TO GO VIRAL. PLEASE FORWARD THIS VIDEO TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. The only thing I would’ve suggested is that this could’ve been a “FALSE FLAG”event !! Hamas did not do Oct. 7 Israel did this to there own people, blaming it on Hamas so that what we are seeing can happen but thank God it’s seems to be backfiring on them because of there Ruthlessness because of there evil hearts they were a little to zellis they couldn’t help themselves.
The British empire still holds more power than we know. Eg judicial body in USA still holds allegiance to England. Canadian army holds allegiance to the king.
This was such a excellent, engaging and informative exchange. You two are awesome‼️ thanks for introducing us to Sina. Can’t wait to 15,001 of his followers. 👏🏽👏🏽💕
1:04:08 Twitter and FB is entirely politically censored. YT is much liberal but some of RU patriotic channels was wiped. Telegram is kinda holding that pressure, but making, funding and popularizing open-source decentralized platforms is a really huge deal.
For those who do not know Canadian history, and since this episode is about the British empire, it is worth mentioning that the British colonial approach towards the French in Canada was the same here as it was elsewhere. In the early nineteenth century, the attitude of the British was that French Canadians, most of whom were working-class farmers etc who had been prevented from developing a middle class by the "seigneurial system," were a backward people that needed to be assimilated into the English language and ways. These racist attitudes were countered by demands by the French for political reform and representation, a dissatisfaction that led to the Rebellions in Lower Canada. The period 1840 to 1940 is known in French Canada as the century of injustice. It is only with the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s and the growth of a sense of anti-colonial, and at that time, socialism-tinged nationalism that a measure of Quebec independence, or sovereignty, was achieved. For Rahmani to gloss over this as if the current decolonial mindset and critique of white settler colonialism simply re-sets collective memory in Quebec is not helpful. First, it does not explain Quebec politics. Second, it's typical of liberal English Canadian indifference towards and contempt for French Canadians/French Québécois. Third, these longstanding tensions - eclipsed to some extent by the development of multiculturalism in fact and in policy - have been and are used by demagogues on both sides of the divide, especially in the neoliberal era, and especially now that politicians are using right-wing strategies to maintain capitalism by breaking international class solidarity. In the 60s, the leader of the Quebec National Liberation Front (FLQ), Pierre Vallières, like Norman Mailer, or like John Lennon, referred to Quebecers as the "white niggers of America." This is not to deny problems of racism among Quebecers. There was a fascist movement here in the 1930s. The OKA crisis in the 1980s was dealt with terribly and recent bans on religious attire etc have been rightfully condemned. As for Marxists, like Lenin said, we don't believe in gods and devils, not exactly. In the early 1990s I went to listen to bell hooks speak at Carleton University in Ottawa. When she accused Quebecers of being racist, the mostly English-Canadian audience cheered in anti-French rapture. Rahmani is correct about most things and the socialist internationalist perspective is the correct one. It's good to keep in mind how capitalism uses racism, but as Ellen Meiksins Wood taught, "progressive" capitalism also uses anti-racism, anti-sexism, intersectionality, decoloniality, etc. That we live in post-Fordist times and that the ideological air we breathe is post-political gives the current decoloniality a para-political character and class function, especially in postmodern, discourse theory quarters. The Marxist perspective is comprehensively anti-colonial, anti-oppression and anti-capitalist.
Thanks. Yes, here in U$A when French came to New England as strike breakers at the textile mills, the racist hatred was so very strong that it still lives, decades after the events. They were impoverished workers from Canada lured by the prospect of better paying work . I don't imagine they were told they'd be walking into a strike situation. Once here they were captive to the mills & mill owners. I encounter the smirking disrespect for Quebecois with many people in U$A. I couldn't quite understand it. But as I observe the legacy of British culture & rule over the U$A I now see how this disrespect outflows to Irish, indigenous, African, Asian, in fact ANYONE who is not considered 'WHITE' and a friend of Britain. It is, indeed progressive imperial capitalism lodged in the culture.
Wait a minute doc...🐰🥕 You said a history lesson but skipped*HOW* the French got there....were they taken as slaves across the Atlantic? 🍿....or maybe indigenous n were colonized? 🥲 I'm just confused how one colonial racism is supposed to cancel out another....ion know shit about Canadian history though 😅
@@user-jv8kr4im1t thanks for pointing that out. The initial writer doesn't realise that Rania's uninvested analysis of the French Canadian project is influenced by the larger exploitative history of French colonialism. That being said, I understand where the writer is coming from trying to communicate the humanity of the Quebequois and the injustices they've suffered. Unfortunately, that suffering gets lost in the fact that French Canada is an appendage of France which is just as guilty of genocide and exploitation of many peoples across the planet.
Hmmm... I find it 'interesting' that in that very long, yes interesting feedback, you managed to capitalize every proper noun in your share, except Bell Hook's name. I wonder what type of 'Freudian slip' that was, 👀 or need I ask👀👀???? Also, although I understand the 'plight' of the French to some extent, how did the French get there in the first place? It seems in their case that one colonizer got exploited by another colonizer. Peace!
A virus is a tiny thing although deadly. Parasites are sometimes larger like Europe. Ignorance however can be gargantuan; illusions of grandeur, humongous. The harm they all caused, devastating. The reparations for such, inevitable. The consequences of inaction, irreparable, both for the victim and the perpetrators. The mental illness, racism white supremacy, the disease, colonialism. The cure, self sovereignty by ridding oneself of the virus, the parasite and all of the other manifestations by Any. Means. Necessary.
Informative information for knowledge seekers and listening to the narratives one gets better knowledge for understanding the nature and ESSENCE/TRUTH.
Most people are content to think that ' beauty is in the eye of the beholder ' With me it goes a bit further than that ; I like to think that other things such as intelligence is in the same case and that if you have an open mind and a readiness to make a bit of space, you can have quite a good relationship with your robot. As a result of this, the virtues that interest me most are those like ' gratitude ' if you're not prepared to see anything that deserves gratitude, then to some extent and in some way, there will actually be nothing to be grateful for.
The rise of oligarchs-wealthy individuals who use their vast resources to acquire political power and influence-has become a major problem in many societies around the world. Oligarchs often use their financial and political clout to gain control over the government, manipulate public policy, and enrich themselves while others suffer. The presence of oligarchs and their disproportionate influence over society can lead to a variety of serious problems, including increased economic inequality, corruption, and the erosion of democratic values. In order to protect our democracy and promote social justice, oligarchs must be stopped. This can be accomplished through a variety of means, including improved transparency and accountability laws, anti-corruption measures, and stronger enforcement of existing regulations. For example, governments can pass laws requiring that oligarchs disclose their financial interests and any potential conflicts of interest. Additionally, governments can establish laws that make it difficult for oligarchs to gain control over large amounts of a country’s resources, such as land, natural resources, and public services. This can be accomplished through the creation of anti-monopoly laws and the strengthening of existing anti-trust regulations. Furthermore, governments can also create and enforce laws and regulations that make it more difficult for oligarchs to use their influence to gain access to public funds or to manipulate public policy. For instance, governments can pass laws that limit the amount of money oligarchs can donate to political campaigns, or laws that make it illegal for them to accept bribes or other forms of unearned income. Finally, governments can also create laws and regulations that make it easier for citizens to access information about the financial interests of oligarchs in order to ensure that their influence is not being used to the detriment of the public. Ultimately, the only way to stop the rise of oligarchs is to make sure that governments take steps to ensure that all citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. By taking steps to improve transparency and accountability, strengthen anti-corruption measures, and enforce existing regulations, governments can help ensure that oligarchs do not gain control over the government or manipulate public policy to their own benefit. Only then can we ensure that our democracy remains strong and that social justice is protected.
This guest and I are in lock step. I agree 1000% with him. And I would love to speak with him on his show. I have a channel with hundreds of videos. And I only do videos when I have something to say. I fluctuate from around 70 subscribers. But he is definitely the most impressive person to come to my attention. I don't however have a computer or a correctly working Internet.
For anyone living in America, you should support where you live if you are happy with what you have, freedom, use to be safe streets not a rukus, and able to have things, not be against the life you seek to have here. It all needs to be safe again.
very sensible characterization of the British empire and its deleterious legacy. Interesting choice of names for Britain, although the subject is too distasteful to delve into. My personal pick is modern Lanka (the "infamous island of demons of the Ramayana),
Great interview and insight from your guest..... Just that he doesn't address questions put by you.... Goes off on informative stimulating lecture... Without answering ....
The British empire did one good thing. When the British East Indie company colonized the subcontinent and brought all of the chiefdoms under its control, it created the nation of India. Other colonizers did the same. Spain with the Philippines, the Dutch east India company with Indonesia….. so many of todays countries hold a rightful grudge against their colonizers, but they should also be mindful that without the colonizers, their country wouldn’t exist. They would be a bunch of different smaller countries. As with everything good or bad, there are unexpected byproducts of them
This is plain wrong and ahistorical. The Dutch didn’t create Indonesia; they created the Dutch East Indies. It was the heroic Indonesian revolutionaries who did that by fighting an anti-Dutch war. Netherlands did not want a Republic of Indonesia to exist at all, and so were trying to PRESERVE the Dutch East Indies. The same dynamic applies to Phillipines and Spain, who fought each other to settle whether the country was to be the Spanish East Indies, or the Republic of the Philippines. As for British India, look at the parting gift they gave them in 1947-8 through the disaster of Partition, splitting them up into three countries so that a strong, united India couldn’t exist to compete with British interests.
And on the subject of India, the British didn’t just show up one day to unite them into a country. In fact, that already existed in the form of the Mughal Empire. The transition from Mughal to British colonial rule was an unmitigated disaster for the masses of the subcontinent by any metric, except for the size of the bank accounts of the British ruling class.
I am sure even those nuclear powers that you talk about can walk into any country (Or Colonies as you refer to them ) and give orders to the citizens as it did in the 1800s 😂😂
It's possible that had she passed sooner even worse things could have happened. In which case maybe we have God's grace to thank that she did live so long?!
I agree totally with the above commentator - AFRICANS should insist on "TRADING ONLY" relationships with all Europeans and others. Afterall, the motive of the British and others is more and more money for themselves and their countries. Military bases, religious establishments, embasies, banks, and any other structures is to ensure the success of their motive - MONEY. Africans maintain your economic independence always.
West Africa too indeed: the Declaration of Independence of Nigeria and Ghana are nothing other than contracts to remain loyal to the British Royal house!
What can America claim to be exceptional at? Let’s take a closer look and ask a few simple and obvious questions. Can it claimed to be exceptional at reducing: homelessness Infant mortality drug addiction drug deaths gun violence wars racism healthcare cost educational cost income inequality police violence infrastructure decay societal conflict monopolies road rage food insecurity poverty obesity arrogance and on and on and on…? America had nearly 250 years to achieve this exceptionalism, shouldn’t that be enough time? Can it claim to be exceptional at all the things that makes life worth living, that makes life exceptional such as: affordable healthcare affordable education affordable housing personal safety a promising future a sense of connection to society common prosperity camaraderie a sense of responsibility towards the unfortunate and on and on and on…? Again, America had nearly 250 years to achieve this exceptionalism, shouldn’t that be enough time? Can it claim to be exceptional at all the things that makes a person, a society, a culture, a civilization humane? One more time, America had nearly 250 years to achieve this exceptionalism, shouldn’t that be enough time? If It can’t, then what’s the point?
Sadly this place SUCKS in all the above modalities. I give the government of this place an F-. Dgmw- there are a lot of happy people doing well here. And I am happy FOR them. However let us not forget: growing poverty, food insecurity (totally unnecessary as we produce at least as much food to feed 1.5 times our population), and extreme mass incarceration just to name a few. All in all, it sounds like we've been managed by very competent, or incompetent as the case may be, sociopaths and psychopaths for the last 200+ years. Again, there is still a robust middle class- kinda. However, how many people continue to slide out of it and into insecurity every year? The answer; way too many! Letting alone those stuck on the street or barely making ends meet, of which there is a LOT! (including more or less myself, making ends meet that is. The biggest culprit? Exploitative rent. Wages could and should be better but the main boot and all non-homeowners' necks is high RENT!!)
The point is the enrichment of the elite - the rich and/or the powerful. It was the same for all the colonizing powers. Even at the height of the British empire, their poor remained poor.

No other small country can compare with Greece in terms of impact on human benefit. We are still here celebrating the death of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II with the Eoka veterans’ association and activist and the civilian survivors who proudly resisted and defended Cyprus from British rule in the 1950s. I proudly say. It really is an honour, indeed. Cheers. 🍻🍺And Greece is among the few nations - and the only EU member state - not to have been officially visited by the Queen. And It gives me immense pleasure to announce that, indeed.
@@Journeyonn6912 Who told you he was Greek? How could Prince Phillip be related to Alexander the Great. Philip was he's father. You can't steal Royal-Greek title's and names' & history and make yourself Greek Royal. The British are good at stealing other people's cultural heritage and idenity, indeed. Greek Kings were never from Denmark, Germany or British. Actually, The first European royal families are Greek with Greek families, or from Greek descent. Prince Phillip didn't even speak Greek. Plus: Prince Phillip was born in Corfu. The British stole Corfu, that makes him a British subject. And he married Elizabeth his cousin. Elizabeth was he's cousin. Not Greek.
@@thespartan8476 Thanks for your detailed information. I looked it up & you are correct. His family inherited the Greece crown but were not of that heritage. Details really matter if not for you I would not have known

Iran is suffering under sanctions,no doubt about it....But it gave a severe blow to American hegemony on world stage. The saying goes, it is a little Mosquito that makes the Elephant go crazy,in the end fall to its knees.
The British Empire never died it simply franchised its empire to its staunchest colonies i.e. the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The British royal family own vast tracts of land around the globe which surpasses the holdings of any competing landlord by a magnitude of billions of hectares. Moreover, 2 billion people speak English as a second language which allows the franchisees unparraled axis to soft power influence, global markets and brain drains around the globe. And not to mention the financial systems the franchisees enjoy that control over 50% of all global wealth with the added advantage that they also control the worlds currency standard, first the pound and now the dollar.. It is clear by the evidence revealed when the empire is threatened it immediately and with extreme prejudice launches sanctions and war against any country who dares to push back. Therefore one can easily state that the empire is alive and robust and still has a King.

Basicly what i learned about colonialism in school in the netherlands is the following "Long time ago we had colonialism , and dutch country was proud and great , we where a little bit naughty with slaves , but mostly it was all good. Also about the british and the french , .. and then world war 2 came along and that was the sudden end of all colonialism , after world war 2 the only thing that matter was russia , and communists are bad

In the U.S. the Nay vote is almost as important as the Yay vote it is very important to have the Nay votes it gives the impression of a democratic Society. There is never enough Nay votes so the Nay votes are very important. There will always be more Yay votes than Nay votes.
Rania, you as a journalist have been able to cross levels of deep knowledge and professionalism and for this and other great reasons people always listening to you, because they know you are an awesome researcher therefore your discussions are truthful, but this is the first time, I have to say this last person you have invited here at your channel has used the word “ like “ more than a thousand times, and not only he has not been able to answer any of your direct question, but he has fulfilled his mouth with so much garbage that I think no one has been able to come up with an understanding of what he has browned. What was he saying????? Listening to this guy in my car he sounded as a kid was speaking to another kid… when I saw his picture I said WTF? Much of a these types their PHD has not done nothing than other to replete time and again all the Americans books fill with horse shit.
He is right though. "THAT TINY ISLAND INFECTED THE GENETICS OF OUR HISTORY". Nobody appreciates what they have done, except the perpetrators and the benefactors.
The world has changed and every body is awere is only our colours are different but we have the same brain thus from history there is no empire that will last forever let's embrace each other so that we can go ahead
A bit more about Intelligence and the Eye of The Beholder. What we might have highlighted about Gorbachev is the modesty, faithfulness and intelligence of the man. But no, we had to tell everybody that The West won The Cold War. When you do something like that, you injure your soul and it casts a very long shadow, and makes it so much harder to understand anything that comes after.
We can go back to the Romans, they are the grandparents of imperialism. They went to That little island in the North Atlantic and bred a new empire, They never left, just changed uniforms. red white and blue , part 2!!!
As long the dollar remains the global reserve currency and nations remain comfortable with their military bases within their borders, the American century will remain firmly in place. Most global south countries complain about Anglo-American imperialism but still send billions to UK and US banks, and chase the dollar with everything they've got. And while the UK isn't the empire, it's language, it's cultural values, it's economic and political prototypes are rulling the globe. While they pull their strings from the back. The US certainly has learnt the ropes from it's special friend. But, they've also develped more effective methods of conducting their machinations. I see no real threat to the current hegemony. Unless some natural catastrophe befalls us all. Or there's an entire shift in global ideology. Which I don't see one with real potential right now. Unless, everyone suddenly converts to islam, Marxism or something more drastic. It will only end the same way it ascended. They have no real enemies except themselves.

“This stupid, meaningless aristocrat…if I never have to hear about this British royal family ever again, I’ll be a very happy person.”
Spot on!
all empires will come to an end,just read about passed empires,the Roman empire lasted for all most a thousand of years it came to an end,so the present America Imperialism will also come to an end thank God.
@@antoniodefilippo8484 Totally agree with you. I always enjoy a good chuckle when the Washington types like to pat themselves on the back about how America was the strongest ever ‘empire’ in history when historians would not accord such an accolade to even a thousand year-old Roman Empire.
@@antoniodefilippo8484except the Romans didnt have the ability to wipe humanity from earth. To think the American empire would fall without anything less than nuclear conflagration is to ignore the American ruling class as themselves believing that they are gods representatives on earth. Literally millions of Americans think Jesus Christ was American.
Could not agree more ! I was born in Scotland of Irish heritage and in Britain there were two main jumping off points from Ireland. Glasgow and Liverpool. Not surprisingly both these areas were the poorest and most neglected in Britain. In the case of the region in Glasgow called the Gorbles, it was voted the most deprived region in "Europe "
We Irish wont ever forget the days in 1846 when the entire potato crop failed due to a freak blight, and the government of Britain which was supposed to protect us , simply sat back and watched over one million Irish people die. At the height of that famine, boat loads of prime dairy products were regularly being shipped out of Ireland, over to the tables of the English upper classes.
Nobody can destroy Rania's reputation with me. She is one of the most thoughtful people on the internet.
She’s also very beautiful :)
Is their any injustice in the world she isnt aware of or cant talk for hours about, asking all the right questions? Her mind is a truly incredible thing to behold. Its a shame that more young women arent as deeply passionate about geopolitical struggles as Rania. Just think how much better planet earth would be if the political sphere wasnt dominated by old, rich men. Rania is the future we all need. ❤
I agree, and her charisma is great! And those moments when she giggles over something, often something dark, makes me always laugh 'cos I get it, so do many of us. I mean, it might be some dark things that turn to be dark humour jokes, kinda, but I would never judge her or anything because she is always on point and really understands the many many hardships across the world. She is a treasure. And beautiful
The passing of the Queen is rather symbolic for the western world. The reign of colonial power has come an end with her passing.
No, colonialism still here, it just morphed.
@@Mutineer9 morphed into US hegemon
The o.p isn't completely wrong though. Many nations that were allied to Europe are not aligning themselves with the U.S.

Britain hasn't been the same since the passing of the old Queen. And I don't mean Elizabeth.

I agree with the saying that the British/European colonization has converted people of the lesser nation to their values/international order for over 200 years, unfortunately, people of lesser nation always seek for a better quality of life and look for shelter from the political / economical disaster created by colonization, this is a vicious clamp on countries struggling to be independent and conserve their own civilization. I have rejected my HongKong colonial education and see the UK as the true pirates who barged their way into other countries and looted their wealth and resources. And yet the native residents will kowtow and be glad for any breadcrumbs. The world is on the brink of war and it’s scary to see what the US will do to push everyone else over the cliff except themselves.
Instead of people of lesser nations, maybe just people. Lesser depends on what you value... valuing clean air, fresh water, freedom, sunshine and family would make the west the lesser nations.
And at the time of colonialism they didn't have the resources they do now, those people they stole from were often experts in their environment.

Carolloh
I agree and disagree with you.
That’s great you reject you Hong Kong school brainwashing. But don’t go and believe mainland China brainwashing.
ALL GOVERNMENTS BRAINWASH OR INDOCTRINATE. I live in Utah. Even here they brainwash. We have a black history month and learn about black slavery but there’s no Native American month and zero talks about how native Americans did own other native Americans and even black slaves. See that’s omitting information is important for brainwashing too. We must teach people only white people ever owned slaves. They also don’t teach how the English or British would kick out the Irish and let them freeze to death I. Ireland. The Irish were worth less then slaves because at least blacks that were slaves would have been tried to be kept alive because at least slaves were viewed as an asset. The Irish were just killed like a rodent. But that’s not taught cause racially we’re not supposed to think some people aren’t white. It’s like now magically if you’re from europe you’re white haha.
Point is don’t even trust China. Maybe trust China more then the UK if you live in Hong Kong, but like I live In the U.S. and know the government lies tk me every day. They say carbon is bad but then Obama and Biden emit vast amounts of carbon as they murder people in foreign wars the U.S. shouldn’t be in. It’s sad though to see people not able to think critically which most Americans suffer from not able to look at two sides of a problem.
@@user-jv8kr4im1tAbsolutely. Say it again louder.
The US Administration is pushing many of it's population over the edge. The US has internal armies of occupation aka militarized police
On the topic of India & Neo-Imperialism, I must note the story of India's State of Kerala, in which its people made use of the very first democratic elections in 1953, after gaining independence from British rule in 1948 to vote to be Governed by the Indian Communist Party! But by 1954 the CIA & the American & British Diplomats had sabotaged its implementation, and bribed the Federal Government of India to rewrite its constitution to strip Kerala of its ability to choose its own government, by removing its right to self-govern, cancelling any elections.
The Brithish empire, was good for Britons and the Queen, now the king, but it was a disaster, for the rest of the world, despite their good words, about democratie, law & order, and all the rest of it, yet, we all know, the facts.😢❤

People need to realize Britain and the British Empire absolutely were liberators. They liberated people from their own culture and land, and when circumstances proved difficult, they were even so generous as to liberate people from their lives.
😅🤣 хороший сарказм👍
well said honestly. I dont hate any random british person I see, but I hate their supramacy ideas.
Amazing.. they should get a Nobel prize for liberators of the millennium. They should collect it in Northern Ireland.
Also when the land was barren they gave it back. So what's the beef?
the American empire pick up all the family traits from the Brits. half a million Iraqis were liberated and freed permanently, underground.
I truly appreciate the both of you, amazing
I am from Irish heritage and my parents would call the union Jack the "Buthers Apron" referring to all the people the Empire slaughtered. BTW Charles Dickens was a fervent critic of the upper classes in England. Many of his novels had figures of repression and cruelty in it . He made no bones about going after the wicked work houses, the debtor prisons, child labor, wife abuse , abuse in the education system. William Shakespeare had no issues painting Jews in a bad light. Shylock in the Merchant of Venice and, Fagin in Oliver Twist. Two of his most famous characters. It is only a very small segment of the British population which supports the entitled upper class system. Sadly, there is a majority of completely gullible fools in the working classes who still support the Monarchy. I am out of it now, left Scotland in 1981 and never returned.
The British reigning monarch owns 92% of the land in Canada. If property taxes are not paid; you'd be evicted. I live in Toronto.
Canadian here, if Barbados can become a republic why can't Canada?
I don’t know where you got that figure from. What you are presumably talking about is the concept of land owned by the Crown in right of Canada. It is a legal construct. The land is NOT owned by King Charles III personally.
A legal construct. Exactly. So if you were to go to the courts, you would find that the land is legally the property of the monarch. This would be backed up by the police, and ultimately the Canadian Armed Forces. And who is the commander in chief of the CAF? Chuck da Turd, that's who.@@drianej
Is a white settler complaining about paying taxes to the British on land stolen from natives? White people are a trip i tell you. Damn!

You know if you take into account the Roman Empire history. The current West uses the playbook of the Roman Empire. The French, Spain, Portugal, Germany, England, and The Nordic & Scandinavians all really tried to take the Mantle of the Roman Empire. It was the British Empire that won. And then the US took over after the British Empire lost the position. The history and playbook of the Roman Empire are almost identical. Which by the way the Roman Empire took over for the Greek Empire and used the playbook of the Greek Empire. And the Ottomans also seem to use similar playbooks. Which is not really a surprise as Constantinople was the last vestige of the Roman Empire. And the country which was part of the Ottoman Empire that is called Turkey. Behaves much the same way. And the Indian government also seems to mirror at least domestically the domestic playbook of the Western colonial powers at home.
Bravo Sina Rahmani! Tremendous amount of thanks for this valuable discussion!! Thanks Rania for this interview! Have watched it 3 times so far!! 🙏🙏👏👏🙌🙌🙌

If I never hear about that despicable family again, I'd still consider that too soon.
They thought when they left European Union their plan was to have a total control of Africa. They immediately start opening more and more embassies and declared they’re going to do business with Africa. This’s the second coming of scramble for Africa. Unless African countries get their act together like India and pushing back on the western neocolonialism it’ll cause a lots of pain and difficulties to come. Unite and draw your line saying trade but no military or imperialism agenda to control Africa.
"A symphony of hegemonic power" is a great and kind of poetic way to describe the horrors of American Empire and its client states such as the UK, which is nothing but a client state of the US in all but name. Yet the ruling class in the US, despite being a descendant of UK aristocracy, managed to absorb that ideology and take it to its logical conclusion, the genocide of an entire continent of formerly independent peoples. Which is why we say land back. Its not about some semblance of revenge, its about justice on settler occupied lands. And settler colonialism is by its very nature a crime against humanity as well as the main contributor to genocide over the last few centuries.
Like allways, great show, great guest.
Brilliant presentation and lovely interaction and humour!
This is a very informative video. Thanks to you and your guest. As Indian I can relate very well.

Someone should write a Howard Zinn equivalent book- The People’s History of Britain.
it was already written, and it sucked
48:00 I’ve always felt this exact way. Classic narcissism. The worst part however is that they have committed tremendous resources to planning what they would do in the case of nuclear war and how they would save themselves when all humanity is obliterated. They have made complex plots for how they might live underground or escape into space if the earth became uninhabitable and how they would go about perpetuating the human race slowly thereafter. This perverted and obscene truth frightens me more than anything. They’ve already proven their disdain for us so nothing is stopping them from pulling the final trigger.

Outstanding discussion 👍 👍
For those who do not know Canadian history, and since this episode is about the British empire, it is worth mentioning that the British colonial approach towards the French in Canada was the same here as it was elsewhere. In the early nineteenth century, the attitude of the British was that French Canadians, most of whom were working-class farmers etc who had been prevented from developing a middle class by the "seigneurial system," were a backward people that needed to be assimilated into the English language and ways. These racist attitudes were countered by demands by the French for political reform and representation, a dissatisfaction that led to the Rebellions in Lower Canada. The period 1840 to 1940 is known in French Canada as the century of injustice. It is only with the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s and the growth of a sense of anti-colonial, and at that time, socialism-tinged nationalism that a measure of Quebec independence, or sovereignty, was achieved. For Rahmani to gloss over this as if the current decolonial mindset and critique of white settler colonialism simply re-sets collective memory in Quebec is not helpful. First, it does not explain Quebec politics. Second, it's typical of liberal English Canadian indifference towards and contempt for French Canadians/French Québécois. Third, these longstanding tensions - eclipsed to some extent by the development of multiculturalism in fact and in policy - have been and are used by demagogues on both sides of the divide, especially in the neoliberal era, and especially now that politicians are using right-wing strategies to maintain capitalism by breaking international class solidarity. In the 60s, the leader of the Quebec National Liberation Front (FLQ), Pierre Vallières, like Norman Mailer, or like John Lennon, referred to Quebecers as the "white niggers of America." This is not to deny problems of racism among Quebecers. There was a fascist movement here in the 1930s. The OKA crisis in the 1980s was dealt with terribly and recent bans on religious attire etc have been rightfully condemned. As for Marxists, like Lenin said, we don't believe in gods and devils, not exactly. In the early 1990s I went to listen to bell hooks speak at Carleton University in Ottawa. When she accused Quebecers of being racist, the mostly English-Canadian audience cheered in anti-French rapture. Rahmani is correct about most things and the socialist internationalist perspective is the correct one. It's good to keep in mind how capitalism uses racism, but as Ellen Meiksins Wood taught, "progressive" capitalism also uses anti-racism, anti-sexism, intersectionality, decoloniality, etc. That we live in post-Fordist times and that the ideological air we breathe is post-political gives the current decoloniality a para-political character and class function, especially in postmodern, discourse theory quarters. The Marxist perspective is comprehensively anti-colonial, anti-oppression and anti-capitalist.
Thanks. Yes, here in U$A when French came to New England as strike breakers at the textile mills, the racist hatred was so very strong that it still lives, decades after the events. They were impoverished workers from Canada lured by the prospect of better paying work . I don't imagine they were told they'd be walking into a strike situation. Once here they were captive to the mills & mill owners. I encounter the smirking disrespect for Quebecois with many people in U$A. I couldn't quite understand it. But as I observe the legacy of British culture & rule over the U$A I now see how this disrespect outflows to Irish, indigenous, African, Asian, in fact ANYONE who is not considered 'WHITE' and a friend of Britain. It is, indeed progressive imperial capitalism lodged in the culture.

You said a history lesson but skipped*HOW* the French got there....were they taken as slaves across the Atlantic? 🍿....or maybe indigenous n were colonized? 🥲
I'm just confused how one colonial racism is supposed to cancel out another....ion know shit about Canadian history though 😅
@@user-jv8kr4im1t thanks for pointing that out. The initial writer doesn't realise that Rania's uninvested analysis of the French Canadian project is influenced by the larger exploitative history of French colonialism. That being said, I understand where the writer is coming from trying to communicate the humanity of the Quebequois and the injustices they've suffered. Unfortunately, that suffering gets lost in the fact that French Canada is an appendage of France which is just as guilty of genocide and exploitation of many peoples across the planet.
Hmmm... I find it 'interesting' that in that very long, yes interesting feedback, you managed to capitalize every proper noun in your share, except Bell Hook's name. I wonder what type of 'Freudian slip' that was, 👀 or need I ask👀👀????
Also, although I understand the 'plight' of the French to some extent, how did the French get there in the first place? It seems in their case that one colonizer got exploited by another colonizer. Peace!
Thanks for knowledge I have got by listening and certainly staying in me.

Most people are content to think that ' beauty is in the eye of the beholder ' With me it goes a bit further than that ; I like to think that other things such as intelligence is in the same case and that if you have an open mind and a readiness to make a bit of space, you can have quite a good relationship with your robot. As a result of this, the virtues that interest me most are those like ' gratitude ' if you're not prepared to see anything that deserves gratitude, then to some extent and in some way, there will actually be nothing to be grateful for.
The rise of oligarchs-wealthy individuals who use their vast resources to acquire political power and influence-has become a major problem in many societies around the world. Oligarchs often use their financial and political clout to gain control over the government, manipulate public policy, and enrich themselves while others suffer. The presence of oligarchs and their disproportionate influence over society can lead to a variety of serious problems, including increased economic inequality, corruption, and the erosion of democratic values. In order to protect our democracy and promote social justice, oligarchs must be stopped.
This can be accomplished through a variety of means, including improved transparency and accountability laws, anti-corruption measures, and stronger enforcement of existing regulations. For example, governments can pass laws requiring that oligarchs disclose their financial interests and any potential conflicts of interest. Additionally, governments can establish laws that make it difficult for oligarchs to gain control over large amounts of a country’s resources, such as land, natural resources, and public services. This can be accomplished through the creation of anti-monopoly laws and the strengthening of existing anti-trust regulations.
Furthermore, governments can also create and enforce laws and regulations that make it more difficult for oligarchs to use their influence to gain access to public funds or to manipulate public policy. For instance, governments can pass laws that limit the amount of money oligarchs can donate to political campaigns, or laws that make it illegal for them to accept bribes or other forms of unearned income. Finally, governments can also create laws and regulations that make it easier for citizens to access information about the financial interests of oligarchs in order to ensure that their influence is not being used to the detriment of the public.
Ultimately, the only way to stop the rise of oligarchs is to make sure that governments take steps to ensure that all citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. By taking steps to improve transparency and accountability, strengthen anti-corruption measures, and enforce existing regulations, governments can help ensure that oligarchs do not gain control over the government or manipulate public policy to their own benefit. Only then can we ensure that our democracy remains strong and that social justice is protected.

The beat Rob Jeremy vid I’ve ever watched! Smart dude! Got educated!
The British empire did one good thing. When the British East Indie company colonized the subcontinent and brought all of the chiefdoms under its control, it created the nation of India. Other colonizers did the same. Spain with the Philippines, the Dutch east India company with Indonesia….. so many of todays countries hold a rightful grudge against their colonizers, but they should also be mindful that without the colonizers, their country wouldn’t exist. They would be a bunch of different smaller countries. As with everything good or bad, there are unexpected byproducts of them
This is plain wrong and ahistorical. The Dutch didn’t create Indonesia; they created the Dutch East Indies. It was the heroic Indonesian revolutionaries who did that by fighting an anti-Dutch war. Netherlands did not want a Republic of Indonesia to exist at all, and so were trying to PRESERVE the Dutch East Indies. The same dynamic applies to Phillipines and Spain, who fought each other to settle whether the country was to be the Spanish East Indies, or the Republic of the Philippines.
As for British India, look at the parting gift they gave them in 1947-8 through the disaster of Partition, splitting them up into three countries so that a strong, united India couldn’t exist to compete with British interests.
And on the subject of India, the British didn’t just show up one day to unite them into a country. In fact, that already existed in the form of the Mughal Empire. The transition from Mughal to British colonial rule was an unmitigated disaster for the masses of the subcontinent by any metric, except for the size of the bank accounts of the British ruling class.
The British empire never ended. She continues to be a nuclear-armed superpower with fifteen overseas colonies.

I agree totally with the above commentator - AFRICANS should insist on "TRADING ONLY" relationships with all Europeans and others. Afterall, the motive of the British and others is more and more money for themselves and their countries. Military bases, religious establishments, embasies, banks, and any other structures is to ensure the success of their motive - MONEY. Africans maintain your economic independence always.
West Africa too indeed: the Declaration of Independence of Nigeria and Ghana are nothing other than contracts to remain loyal to the British Royal house!
What can America claim to be exceptional at? Let’s take a closer look and ask a few simple and obvious questions.
Can it claimed to be exceptional at reducing:
homelessness
Infant mortality
drug addiction
drug deaths
gun violence
wars
racism
healthcare cost
educational cost
income inequality
police violence
infrastructure decay
societal conflict
monopolies
road rage
food insecurity
poverty
obesity
arrogance
and on and on and on…?
America had nearly 250 years to achieve this exceptionalism, shouldn’t that be enough time?
Can it claim to be exceptional at all the things that makes life worth living, that makes life exceptional such as:
affordable healthcare
affordable education
affordable housing
personal safety
a promising future
a sense of connection to society
common prosperity
camaraderie
a sense of responsibility towards the unfortunate
and on and on and on…?
Again, America had nearly 250 years to achieve this exceptionalism, shouldn’t that be enough time?
Can it claim to be exceptional at all the things that makes a person, a society, a culture, a civilization humane?
One more time, America had nearly 250 years to achieve this exceptionalism, shouldn’t that be enough time?
If It can’t, then what’s the point?
Sadly this place SUCKS in all the above modalities.
I give the government of this place an F-.
Dgmw- there are a lot of happy people doing well here. And I am happy FOR them. However let us not forget: growing poverty, food insecurity (totally unnecessary as we produce at least as much food to feed 1.5 times our population), and extreme mass incarceration just to name a few.
All in all, it sounds like we've been managed by very competent, or incompetent as the case may be, sociopaths and psychopaths for the last 200+ years.
Again, there is still a robust middle class- kinda. However, how many people continue to slide out of it and into insecurity every year? The answer; way too many! Letting alone those stuck on the street or barely making ends meet, of which there is a LOT! (including more or less myself, making ends meet that is. The biggest culprit? Exploitative rent. Wages could and should be better but the main boot and all non-homeowners' necks is high RENT!!)
This post will be screenshot as a crappy reminder of the current truth.
The point is the enrichment of the elite - the rich and/or the powerful. It was the same for all the colonizing powers. Even at the height of the British empire, their poor remained poor.
American exceptionalism: arrogance and ignorance. And 900 military bases in 120 countries

No other small country can compare with Greece in terms of impact on human benefit. We are still here celebrating the death of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II with the Eoka veterans’ association and activist and the civilian survivors who proudly resisted and defended Cyprus from British rule in the 1950s. I proudly say. It really is an honour, indeed. Cheers. 🍻🍺And Greece is among the few nations - and the only EU member state - not to have been officially visited by the Queen. And It gives me immense pleasure to announce that, indeed.
Isn’t Prince Phillip a Greek
@@Journeyonn6912 Who told you he was Greek? How could Prince Phillip be related to Alexander the Great. Philip was he's father.
You can't steal Royal-Greek title's and names' & history and make yourself Greek Royal.
The British are good at stealing other people's cultural heritage and idenity, indeed.
Greek Kings were never from Denmark, Germany or British. Actually, The first European royal families are Greek with Greek families, or from Greek descent.
Prince Phillip didn't even speak Greek.
Plus: Prince Phillip was born in Corfu.
The British stole Corfu, that makes him a British subject.
And he married Elizabeth his cousin.
Elizabeth was he's cousin.
Not Greek.
@@thespartan8476 Thanks for your detailed information. I looked it up & you are correct. His family inherited the Greece crown but were not of that heritage. Details really matter if not for you I would not have known

Two resolution sizes appear on the same screen, how did that happen? (Like, Rania's side is 1080p HD and Sina's 240p).🧐 It's a great show nonetheless!
HD / UHF without the rolling screen.
It's two different feeds going into one picture. Either Sina's camera is lower quality than Rania's or his internet is just slower and can't handle streaming HD video. But yeah, great show
Iran is suffering under sanctions,no doubt about it....But it gave a severe blow to American hegemony on world stage. The saying goes, it is a little Mosquito that makes the Elephant go crazy,in the end fall to its knees.
39:00 there's more lebanise people in brazil than in lebanon, that suggests that lebanon is actually brazil
The British Empire never died it simply franchised its empire to its staunchest colonies i.e. the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The British royal family own vast tracts of land around the globe which surpasses the holdings of any competing landlord by a magnitude of billions of hectares. Moreover, 2 billion people speak English as a second language which allows the franchisees unparraled axis to soft power influence, global markets and brain drains around the globe. And not to mention the financial systems the franchisees enjoy that control over 50% of all global wealth with the added advantage that they also control the worlds currency standard, first the pound and now the dollar.. It is clear by the evidence revealed when the empire is threatened it immediately and with extreme prejudice launches sanctions and war against any country who dares to push back. Therefore one can easily state that the empire is alive and robust and still has a King.
Empires die. But it took the Roman Empire a thousand years.
Never died. Spanish, Dutch, French, then Brits then U$A. All the same wealth & ultimately the same families.

Basicly what i learned about colonialism in school in the netherlands is the following
"Long time ago we had colonialism , and dutch country was proud and great , we where a little bit naughty with slaves , but mostly it was all good. Also about the british and the french , .. and then world war 2 came along and that was the sudden end of all colonialism , after world war 2 the only thing that matter was russia , and communists are bad
The monarch is the head of the empire pyramid and carries the full weight of responsibility for atrocities committed in their name.
I noticed Americans had a disturbing fixation with the royal family back in the Kate Middleton marriage days…..Never understood why
Drinking Tea in England was literally in a political and social sense a Religious Sacrament .
“ My sweetheart shall we sit and have a cup of tea.
Where did the English ever get so much tea 🙄
In the U.S. the Nay vote is almost as important as the Yay vote it is very important to have the Nay votes it gives the impression of a democratic Society. There is never enough Nay votes so the Nay votes are very important. There will always be more Yay votes than Nay votes.
Rania, you as a journalist have been able to cross levels of deep knowledge and professionalism and for this and other great reasons people always listening to you, because they know you are an awesome researcher therefore your discussions are truthful, but this is the first time, I have to say this last person you have invited here at your channel has used the word “ like “ more than a thousand times, and not only he has not been able to answer any of your direct question, but he has fulfilled his mouth with so much garbage that I think no one has been able to come up with an understanding of what he has browned. What was he saying?????
Listening to this guy in my car he sounded as a kid was speaking to another kid… when I saw his picture I said WTF? Much of a these types their PHD has not done nothing than other to replete time and again all the Americans books fill with horse shit.
He is right though. "THAT TINY ISLAND INFECTED THE GENETICS OF OUR HISTORY". Nobody appreciates what they have done, except the perpetrators and the benefactors.
The British pounds ranked higher than the USA dollars, Canada, Philippines! Etc! ⚖️⚖️⚖️
The world has changed and every body is awere is only our colours are different but we have the same brain thus from history there is no empire that will last forever let's embrace each other so that we can go ahead
A bit more about Intelligence and the Eye of The Beholder. What we might have highlighted about Gorbachev is the modesty, faithfulness and intelligence of the man. But no, we had to tell everybody that The West won The Cold War. When you do something like that, you injure your soul and it casts a very long shadow, and makes it so much harder to understand anything that comes after.
Since when the owners of a country called killers/animals/tourists against invaders.
We can go back to the Romans, they are the grandparents of imperialism. They went to That little island in the North Atlantic and bred a new empire, They never left, just changed uniforms. red white and blue , part 2!!!
As long the dollar remains the global reserve currency and nations remain comfortable with their military bases within their borders, the American century will remain firmly in place. Most global south countries complain about Anglo-American imperialism but still send billions to UK and US banks, and chase the dollar with everything they've got. And while the UK isn't the empire, it's language, it's cultural values, it's economic and political prototypes are rulling the globe. While they pull their strings from the back. The US certainly has learnt the ropes from it's special friend. But, they've also develped more effective methods of conducting their machinations. I see no real threat to the current hegemony. Unless some natural catastrophe befalls us all. Or there's an entire shift in global ideology. Which I don't see one with real potential right now. Unless, everyone suddenly converts to islam, Marxism or something more drastic. It will only end the same way it ascended. They have no real enemies except themselves.
Breaking 🚨 : Putin has announced in clear terms he will use nuclear weapons if he has to, as he announces a mobilization of 2 million reserves
sorry, just 300 000 reservist with war experience.

Why does this sound like it belongs on PLR?
