Superb discussion, as always! I wish I had had Glenn's analyses handy when I was teaching about the techniques of propaganda. And I loved Pascal's description of Political Realism: “Realism . . . is based upon the assumption of rational choice, that states do what's in their best interest. But that assumption rests on the assumption that they have an accurate assessment of what's going on-let's not call it reality, but let's call it what's going on-and this level of propaganda and ideologized propaganda on top of that.”
Most Americans are absolutely disgusted with the incessant barrage of commercial advertising they are required to endure on various media platforms. It is pure propaganda.They can thank Edward Bernays for that. Ironically though, they seem to be oblivious to the political messaging from above that they must endure constantly. I would enthusiastically recommend that young people everywhere read 2 books : Edwards Bernays' "Propaganda" and Gen. Smedley Butler's "War Is a Racket" for an enlightening primer on contemporary realities.
Godt jobba Glenn. Det hadde vært fint om du kunne skrevet litt mer info i video-beskrivelsen. Dette letteregjør jobben for oss som ønsker å spre videoene dine, og man unngår div syting og klaging fra folk som tror det er nytt innhold. Flisespikking ja, men har tross alt ikke noe annet å utsette på arbeidet ditt. 😉 Ha en fortsatt god romjul, og lykke til i det nye året, som sannsynligvis blir minst like begivenhetsrikt som 2024. ✌
I believe that the vast majority of the human species is being "shepherded" by a relatively small percentage of global plutocratic institutions. Wealth IS power. The upward transfer of wealth that has occurred over the last 40-50 years is well-documented. We have never been further away from democracy and economic justice. The emerging paradigm is making Orwellian prognostications seem evermore prescient.
The octopus has sadly got a bad reputation! I recommend all to see 'My teacher Octopus'. Perhaps it can be seen as a sort of inverse symbol of the present topic. Thank you for wonderful insights!
The analogy with the Crimean War is embarrassingly exact for the British and the French. The wiki article on it is more than brilliant, but towards the end it even surpasses itself with a brief description of how fast this War became deeply unpopular with the British public and thus with Parliament (which represented people better then than it does now, despite only wealthy men having the vote in the 1850s). Its unpopularity even toppled the Prime Minister - though he was quickly replaced by another warmonger. Britain had too many trade interests with the Ottoman Empire to stop supporting it - and not much has changed in that regard. "Dissatisfaction with the conduct of the war was growing with the public in Britain and other countries and was worsened by reports of fiascos, especially the devastating losses of the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava. On Sunday, 21 January 1855, a "snowball riot" occurred in Trafalgar Square near St Martin-in-the-Fields in which 1,500 people gathered to protest against the war by pelting cabs and pedestrians with snowballs. When the police intervened, the snowballs were directed at the constables. The riot was finally put down by troops and police acting with truncheons. In Parliament, the Conservatives demanded an accounting of all soldiers, cavalry and sailors sent to Crimea and accurate figures as to the number of casualties sustained by all British armed forces in Crimea, especially concerning the Battle of Balaclava. When Parliament passed a bill to investigate by the vote of 305 to 148, Aberdeen said he had lost a vote of no confidence and resigned as prime minister on 30 January 1855. The veteran former Foreign Secretary Lord Palmerston became prime minister. Palmerston took a hard line and wanted to expand the war, foment unrest inside the Russian Empire and reduce the Russian threat to Europe permanently. Sweden-Norway and Prussia were willing to join Britain and France, and Russia was isolated." Well I hope BBC Radio 4, which has a daily habit of listing a few events from history on each day of the year, will recall the Snowball Riots on 21st January and also the resignation of Lord Aberdeen on 30th January on those dates in 2025. But even if it does, the British public is not what it used to be. In 1855 most of the public had "skin in the game" when it came to soldiering and mining raw materials. Now much of this has been passed to drones, robots, and foreign slaves scrabbling in the heat for rock salt or cashew nuts or cobalt or uranium or whatever. Few Britons are really poor enough to have a snowball riot in Trafalgar Square about Ukraine and other forms of NATO expansion - and if they did, Parliament would not debate WHY they were rioting. Of course Parliament in 1855 only paid lip-service to the rioters, quickly replacing Aberdeen with Palmerston. But France and Austria were sick and tired of the War too - and it was easy to bring it to an end by the Treaty of Paris in 1856. This gave back to the Ottoman Empire some bits of Moldova etc. that Russia had invaded (although they did not belong to the Ottomans either, really). More importantly, by Article IV of the Treaty Britain, France, Sardinia and the Ottoman Empire restored to Russia "the towns and ports of Sevastopol, Balaklava, Kamish, Eupatoria, Kerch, Jenikale, Kinburn as well as all other territories occupied by the allied troops". The "victorious" Ottomans were bankrupted by the War, and Russia dealt them a "Coup de Grace" later on, in the Russo-Turkish War. Austria was also disempowered, despite barely having taken part in the fighting. Britain and France gained nothing either. France in fact quickly made friends with Russia, and British engineers flocked to Russia to take part in its industrialization. Yet now, we are not allowed to mention any of this, for fear we might change our narcissistic behaviour on the world stage and try to focus instead on fixing our domestic affairs which are a complete shambles - as they were in 1855, as Tennyson pointed out in "Maud and Other Poems", especially in "Maud" but also in "The Charge of the Light Brigade" which was published on its own in 1854 and then included in the Maud collection in 1855. "Maud" is said to be Tennyson's favourite poem. It is a devastating critique of British avarice and general worship of Mammon. It is very long and he relished reading it in full at literary salons, where his renown (and also his striking persona) forced comfortable burghers to listen politely without squirming. To be fair, many prosperous people agreed with him, and a section of the poem was set to music by the great William Balfe and became "top of the pops" for decades ("Come Into The Garden, Maud").
I was optimistic,but the reality is hard to be accepted, and I have to accept that people choose to trust the lies ,painful but the reality in the street.
We, Humans rarely think by ourselves We fear to be wrong and rejected, so it is easier to follow the flow We usually adopt the believes of others, in order to construct ours What we learn first forms a foundation that is almost impossible to change We feel our believes are the right ones. This gives us confidence and direction We are convinced that the people that disagree with us are wrong Human life is very very complex. We simplify it for our convenience We rarely base our beliefs in our own personal experience "It is easier to fool someone, than to convince them they have been fooled"
It would be good for Glenn to address why the unconditional surrender position of the allies in WW2 toward the Nazis (which was correct and kept the alliance together) shouldn't be applied to Russia today. While it's obvious to anyone who can compare the two situations even somewhat objectively, it would be good for him to talk about this.
The perpetual erosion of objective, mutually-shared TRUTH in our contemporary world is jeopardizing ALL of us regardless of whether you are American, or Chines or Russian, or... Collectively humanity is undermining its own collective viability on this planet. The overt, unapologetic, growing LUNACY of our current geo-political paradigm makes me quite sanguine about my advanced age. I weep for future Humanity.
The shared cause for optimism here, 'the marketplace of ideas' triumphing only holds if free speech is protected and not systematically undermined. Sadly, it increasingly isn't and it is.
I am not sure if the agreement is still in place, but every two years American military would spend two weeks in South Africa training military in the country. So, North Korean troops being trained in Russia is not unusual and does not imply a military alliance.
Marc Stein made wonderful interview with George Papadopoulos which was accused as Russian spy while helping Trump's first campaign . Interview is great view on dirty games in Washington swamp . Maybe you can invite George in your show .... His situation is clear explanation of your conversation with Mr. Diesen . Best wishes dear Pascal and big thanks for eye opening mission ....
There are only four sources that can be trusted: the Russian Minitrue (Zakharova), Minipax (Konashenkov), Miniluv (Peskov, Medvedev) and Miniplenty (Nabiullina - as yet).
Unreliable info gives generalities, appeals to emotions and sources lack identification. GAS. It uses testimonials, bandwagon, plainfolks appeals and name calling.
As a Psychologist, I suggest you study the work of John B Watson, aka the Father of Behaviorism. He was a scientist, unlike Freud, and he went into advertising after his academic work due to a scandal. Watson was responsible for the advertising campaign to make it socially permissible for women to smoke in the USA, among other things. Humans do NOT have instincts. And instinct is NOT an ability or a "capability". I suggest you read the work of Lorenz, for example. The term irrationality is not a scientific one, and often means the user does not see the logic that the actor does. The human capability that interferes with successful goal-direct behavior is the tendency to be EMOTIONAL. Emotion disorganizes behavior and affects decision-making... and is very contagious, in group situations that are ambiguous. In group behavior, conformity has a positive correlation with the extent of unanimity and can even affect the the perception of sensation (feelings) of the individuals affected. I suggest your analysis would profit from reviewing the copious amounts of data on this topic collected for over 100 years by Psychologists running actual experiments.
The Western paradigm itself is the issue. What the Western Elite are honest about is that the Western paradigm is not compatible with that of the East. What over the centuries from Augustine to Calvin becomes as of predestination and premillenialism is what is at hand. Also how the West due to its other heresies becomes nominalist is such a grave error that is hard to undue. Your talk of diplomacy doesn't lead to anything if in the West words do not actually have any reality (what nominalism actually is). In the way you talk you are not interested in solving the actual problem which is the fundamental theology and philosophy that is in the West. There will never be peace until the West repents completely. Diplomacy is meaningless.

Thank you Gleen and Pascal for you work and keeping us sane
Two broadly educated fellows. Such a pleasure to listen to you both.
They are not educated. They are deluded.
A very informed and informative discussion. Many thanks to host and guest!
Thank you gentlemen!

If I were Ukrainian I'd be furious with the West.
Why? Because Russia is invading them?

@@gerhard7323 Yes, because the West invaded Crimea and the Donbass with Russian soldiers.

These to episodes with Pacal are brilliant! Straight forward,and not a bunch of unnecesarry words from Alex M :)

Excellent analysis, as usual.
