We can learn a lot from Ukraine. Recently, Jens Stoltenberg said that the war didn't start on February 24, it started in 2014, and that NATO has heavily supported Ukraine since then. This means that Stoltenberg admits that - the war was not started in 2022, but in 2014 - the war was not started by Russia, but by the coup government of Ukraine, against its own people in the eastern parts of Ukraine. - that NATO heavily supported this war of the coup regime against the Ukrainian people in the west, during which at least 14'000 people died. US Sparks Turmoil in Georgia to Open New Front Against Russia My heart literally sank as I got flashbacks from Libya, Ukraine maidan, the Arab spring, the iran riots, etc when I saw the protesters. Imagine the west has weaponized a nation's own people to attack their own government, trying to protect them. Weaponizing Hope's, dreams and the young's desperation for a better life is immensely cruel. Thank you Brian, you are literally among the very few people who expose and talk about color revolutions. Color revolutions are a WMD's more potent and lethal than nuclear weapons. I myself remember at a young age of these NGO's that in hindsight, were slowly indoctrinating us to follow their ways. Today sadly, some of my peers are for the other team. Forgive me, it pains me to see this and feel helpless. Worse is the fact that non western countries mostly cannot defend with the west due to the west having all the money and control of culture. And the young don't realize what they are doing. -Charles k "...the fact that US-sponsored protesters are complaining about “Russian influence” but are eagerly fighting against legislation meant to make foreign funding more transparent once again illustrates how supposed “Western values” are mere smokescreens behind which the US and its allies advance their foreign policy objectives in contravention of international law, not in support of it."

@@eleworld9371 Some guy said that it was revenge for building an empire 3000 years ago. He said that nations are vengeful entities that don't let things slide ever. Many human groups have been wiped out of existence since the dawn of mankind. Wars of conquest would be wage on large scales pushing groups to the brink, rivers would run red with blood. The wars were waged on every corner of earth, the weaker groups some times teamed up to fight the common enemy, wiping them out. Some people do nothing and are erased forever. No one is spared, no tears are shed, no where to flee, fight till the end or be wiped out peacefully. The conquerors are loved, respected forever. We are all here because conquest was waged in every corner since the dawn. It was cruel, brutal, thorough, epic, unavoidable, and you either conquered or be conquered. Peacefully get wiped out by those destined for glory, or go down in spectacular and epic fashion. Don't fight a lone to avoid extinction. To stand a lone is to await extinction.
Actually you cannot do it The American Service-Members' Protection Act (ASPA, Title 2 of Pub. L. 107-206 (text) (PDF), H.R. 4775, 116 Stat. 820, enacted August 2, 2002), known informally as the Hague Invasion Act, is a United States federal law described as "a bill to protect United States military personnel and other elected and appointed officials of the United States government against criminal prosecution by an international criminal court to which the United States is not party."

I am a partially disabled Air Force Veteran who was enlisted during 9/11 until 12/2004. I was only 19 when it happened and had taken to my family's politics, Republican. However, during my last year and a half in the Air Force Air Intelligence Agency I learned things that I wasn't aware of and hadn't been paying attention too. Because of that I found it really hard to reconcile with myself and what was being done in our name. Though I was a lucky one and wasn't deployed to war, I still feel the pain and sorrow that I felt the moment I found out the truth. Now as a Christian Gay Democrat I still fight with myself internally, living on only $300 per month in disability compensation, trying to find ways to make up for the wrong our government does to the innocent. 😢 I am still ashamed to say that I'm an American due to the BS our government does. Awesome report and thank you for making sure no one ever forgets.
@@redbaron9029 yeah maybe when I'm incapable of eating, drinking water, sleeping, needing heat in winter then maybe I could see it doing that, but since I broke my spine I've been unable to work and my disability is my only income.

I joined the military to show them that I was conforming to what they wanted because no one in my family had gotten past boot camp before and figured if I could do that maybe then they'll love me, turns out that was just a terrible 😔 idea brought on by very ring wing extreme politics in my own family had warped my view of the world. It turns out I'm gay, and I still am a Christian and I'm a Democrat who thinks we shouldn't have to go to war just because a bunch of rich white people wanting to steal a country and gain as much money as they can make from said country. It was never about 9/11 they just warped our minds by shoveling lies after lies and Force feeding the world those lies 24/7. I'm sorry that America acts the way it does, but most of the people either don't care or are just too naive to realize what the government is doing is not making America safer, it's just making the politicians and their friends and families richer, at the cost of human lives. Sorry.
Yet, to this day, whenever anyone on any American TV shows says "I'm an Iraq veteran" the response is applause and "thank you for your service"... Sickening...
because the vets were tricked as well, they went to war thinking they were trying to save the world and were actually just being lied to by their government
People in USA who were in disagreement with the war like myself ended repressed. The war in Afganistán and Iraq lead to further erosion of freedom which continues to this day. Thanks to A+J I was able to maintain my sanity. Because of this stupidity by the Duopoly, my lack of confidence in the US System was reinforced
As ever, brown bodies - Muslims - don't matter. This is not to compare suffering, but the way Ukranians are treated royally in Europe and the way how Syrians, Iraqis, Afghans, Palestinians are dehumanised and mistreated - it's just the biggest injustice.
That's true Flo - it's not just Americans Example- the overwhelming majority of Greeks supported the Serbs in their massacre of Muslim Kosovars and Bosnians - but have a big problem with Russians killing fellow Orthodox Christians in Ukraine
America....the European Colony and the Europe itself has been soooo Inhuman against Muslims and against Africans, Asian and many other native Tribal people. I hope God punishes those People
@@naimkozi3767 That is true... and I never said "just Americans!" ;-) I live in Germany, European bias towards people who look like them is very obvious -- and in a way, racism is less of a "problem", I think, unless it was coupled with hypocrisy. Openly racist groups are less harmful than implicitly racist systems that project an image of inclusivity and humanity. At least, what you get is what you, but with someone *saying* they're so just and then not being that... that's nefarious.
As someone who opposed both invasions, my takeaway is that you want to hold me responsible for what evil men did because I was born with their same skin color. Cool beans.
I have been a keen observer of how media constructs alternate realities and bombards our perceptions with images, sounds and words that numb our thinking and put us in a trance like state. You have done well to bring forth how this is done and presented this as a powerful case study.
I was a 5th grader in Iowa when when the war launched. My teacher played us the news of the bombing of Iraq. It was coined “Shock and Awe”. I’ll never forget that moment.
The Iraq war reminds me of the Vietnam War. After Ho Chi Minh defeated the French in 1945, there was an agreement for a presidential election in 1954. Well, the US knew that South Vietnam's Diem had no chance running against Minh who was regarded as the brightest star in Asia (for defeating the French)... so the US forfeited the accord, and began what's known as the Vietnam War... the US hasn't won a single war since ww2. It lost so much money, that our debt is $31 trillion, our economy crumbles, 500k homeless, and a deteriorating infrastructure... it's time to put down our weapons. It's time to learn from China. They're by the way the master builders. Travel there and you'll see how advanced they are
Vietnam smoked China too I don't believe that, no super powers should be trusted After all super powers are ruled by humans, since ramses 2 of Egypt We have seen, everything man touch instantly becomes corrupt
unfortunately Amarikans have extremely short memory, or suffer from acute amnesia. Amarika is akin to Germans in Germany during WW2. They are sold on the idea of their exceptionalism, they are the superior nation. Amarikans even today, had no idea they are being used by "feudal lords" aka "0ligarchy" hiding behind mega corp0rations, leaders are being replaced via faked Dem0cracy with zero accountability, so no one knows who does what and when and is easily forgotten.
China has a lot of poor folk too. And their govt is right now engaged in crimes against humanity. Ever heard of the Uighurs? China is committing genocide against them as we speak. Its like Abu Graib but systematic and such crimes are committed against everyone of a particular ethnic group. Its one thing to be a master builder. But if you truly want to be admired you have to not engage in ethnic cleansing. And that is just a first step and a very low bar. Do that and you won't be *hated* but do that and also do some positive things and you'll get admired.
Personally I hold ordinary Americans RESPONSIBLE for their contributions to Crimes Against Humanity around the world. These people keep voting for the same politicians who elect the same laws that affect most people around the world THEN turn around and say "but we didn't do anything". ZERO accountability from these people ZERO! Global citizens need to hold these hypocrites accountable for their actions
@@chukwumeremezechukwu4759 YES! They elect the same people who keep pushing for war. They voted for and supported ALL the wars that were fought on false pretenses. They fail over and over again to do their research and fall for the same BS which brings massive harm to others around the world. Yet y'all want ZERO accountability for the terrible place you've made the world with your stupid foreign policies
@@anthonycaruso8443 There are some that care!! The worldly court will never judge the American people, but God will. The lack of knowledge will not excuse anyone.
I think there is no better show on News Media than BackSpace...Sana just does the justice to journalism and provides hope that maybe true journalism is atill alive..she does not hold back and rightly so in pointing at politicians as well as othr news media who were and still are responsible for fabricating lies which leads to wars and deaths of innicents around the world. Excellend work Sana
It’s wild. They teach you these things in school. I remember going over many of these topics in my AP human Geography class and AP government class. As interesting as it is, I guess I never gave it too much critical thought.
The Bush administration manufactured consent. Noam Chomsky and fellow author Edward S. Herman wrote the book years ago. Helped me understand what was going on while it was happening.
@David Hutchinson: Lawrence Wilkerson, Chief of Staff to Colin Powell admitted publicly that he was part of the team that created the weapons of mass destruction story. He has since making the lecture circuit opposing wars.
Thank you for this report Ms Saeed. With the ICC being virtually toothless against nations that have not ratified the Rome Statues ie China USA Russia , how can there be accountability?
Those who are dead wished that they can crawl back to life and those who are still alive will soon join their dead and enjoy ever lasting hell that their Creator have specially reserved for them.
Psychopaths do not have a sense of conscience. And when told they get to live forever as a consequence of Believing, well, then they can claim that their god told them to start a war and get maximum support. Their god committed genocide on the entire planet so go figure that his most prominent spokesmen do things like invade Iraq or Ukraine. Both of those guys wore their god on their sleeve and made sure their citizens saw them as god worshipping holy men so that the citizens wouldn't mind so much with all the war crimes because what big deal is a war crime when you worship a god who *brags about* murdering everyone on the planet in a great big flood and says its why you should Fear him?
You gotta imagine also, these type of invasions were harder to do 20 years ago because of the USSR and China. The USSR helped liberate most of Africa while the west tried to keep them as colonial states. After the fall of the USSR there was not enough nations willing to help prevent the u.s from waging wars where ever they wanted anymore. The communist were a great force of defense against u.s and western imperialist invasions.
Then... how do you explain the gruesome war in Vietnam led by the US between 1955-1975 while USSR was in its golden age? USSR and China have not been able to stop the US-led war in Vietnam.
@@vincentlagrange2329 the Vietnam invasion was about the US capitalist class securing foreign assets that they seized through imperialism and maintaining there grip by supporting there puppet dictatorship in the south. The common people of Vietnam wanted to break free and were fighting for independence and freedom, while the west was trying to suppress there rebellion. The capitalist class has waged war on the ideology of Communism and Socialism, from the very beginning, domestic and abroad, worried it would sweep the world like wildfire and eventually remove the power they established through colonialism and imperialism. The USSR at the time was giving out millions worldwide in weapons, supplies etc to revolutionary groups fighting against imperialism, in Vietnam it was no different, they gave millions in economic aid and support with weapons, medical supplies etc to the Vietnam people, and after they won they got more support so they could build factories, power plants, coal mines etc. The U.S could not control the people of Vietnam anymore, lost control and had to pull out. The common people of Vietnam won, secured there nation afterwards and had to build out of the destruction we left.
It's amazing to note the Iraqi invasion by the US and Coalition Forces was termed Military Operations. Russia really took Its cue from the US - Special Military Operations in Ukraine 😮
In the past I had canceled my subscription to Al Jazeera because it seemed too influenced by American media.. This clip encouraged me to re-subscribe, thank you
This is why I get worried when I hear about Iran and nuclear bombs. Also, the aggressive approach of western governments (US, Israel) might potentially provoke the Iranians into creating a bomb in the first place. The only people that are fit to change the regime are the Iranian people themselves and they are the only ones fit to rule.
Americans you introduced a taste of ATOMIC BOMB to the world. Now it's about time to feel it yourself how it really tastes like? It's taste must be delicious!!!.
We had a housekeeper during this era who threatened to call Sadam on us everytime we misbehaved or didn't finish our food! The Iraqi war always takes me back to her! She'd allow us to watch a bit of the war and tell us how dangerous Sadam was and how she'd simply give him a call😂
Every single human being who's mind is in working condition & who knows how to take care of him/herself & family is absolutely responsible for his/her deeds actions & decisions & nobody else but only him/her & this is as simple as that.

It turns out I'm gay, and I still am a Christian and I'm a Democrat who thinks we shouldn't have to go to war just because a bunch of rich white people wanting to steal a country and gain as much money as they can make from said country. It was never about 9/11 they just warped our minds by shoveling lies after lies and Force feeding the world those lies 24/7. I'm sorry that America acts the way it does, but most of the people either don't care or are just too naive to realize what the government is doing is not making America safer, it's just making the politicians and their friends and families richer, at the cost of human lives. Sorry.
Yet, to this day, whenever anyone on any American TV shows says "I'm an Iraq veteran" the response is applause and "thank you for your service"... Sickening...
because the vets were tricked as well, they went to war thinking they were trying to save the world and were actually just being lied to by their government
choose your leaders wisely. soldiers follow orders.

As ever, brown bodies - Muslims - don't matter. This is not to compare suffering, but the way Ukranians are treated royally in Europe and the way how Syrians, Iraqis, Afghans, Palestinians are dehumanised and mistreated - it's just the biggest injustice.
Palestinian are less important than Ukrainians but the rest aren’t they equal iraqs suffer is worse than Ukraine but Palestine suffering is a joke.
That's true Flo - it's not just Americans
Example- the overwhelming majority of Greeks supported the Serbs in their massacre of Muslim Kosovars and Bosnians - but have a big problem with Russians killing fellow Orthodox Christians in Ukraine
America....the European Colony and the Europe itself has been soooo Inhuman against Muslims and against Africans, Asian and many other native Tribal people.
I hope God punishes those People
@@naimkozi3767 That is true... and I never said "just Americans!" ;-) I live in Germany, European bias towards people who look like them is very obvious -- and in a way, racism is less of a "problem", I think, unless it was coupled with hypocrisy. Openly racist groups are less harmful than implicitly racist systems that project an image of inclusivity and humanity. At least, what you get is what you, but with someone *saying* they're so just and then not being that... that's nefarious.
As someone who opposed both invasions, my takeaway is that you want to hold me responsible for what evil men did because I was born with their same skin color. Cool beans.
Wow! Thank you, Sana, for presenting us with facts of the truth. Shame to US.
Thank you so much. MANY more people need to watch this.
Thank you AJ+ for this reporting, thank you for standing for the truth.
I have been a keen observer of how media constructs alternate realities and bombards our perceptions with images, sounds and words that numb our thinking and put us in a trance like state. You have done well to bring forth how this is done and presented this as a powerful case study.
Ho hum.
As Jim Morrison said "if you control the news media, you control the mind"
At last we found the weapons of Mass Distortion AKA, Bush, Chaney, Rumsfield plus western "News" $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
I was a 5th grader in Iowa when when the war launched. My teacher played us the news of the bombing of Iraq. It was coined “Shock and Awe”. I’ll never forget that moment.
Class reporting!
Appreciation and respect for this uniquely brilliant exposé by an insightful enthusiastic presenter!
The Iraq war reminds me of the Vietnam War. After Ho Chi Minh defeated the French in 1945, there was an agreement for a presidential election in 1954. Well, the US knew that South Vietnam's Diem had no chance running against Minh who was regarded as the brightest star in Asia (for defeating the French)... so the US forfeited the accord, and began what's known as the Vietnam War... the US hasn't won a single war since ww2. It lost so much money, that our debt is $31 trillion, our economy crumbles, 500k homeless, and a deteriorating infrastructure... it's time to put down our weapons. It's time to learn from China. They're by the way the master builders. Travel there and you'll see how advanced they are
Well said.
Vietnam smoked China too
I don't believe that, no super powers should be trusted
After all super powers are ruled by humans, since ramses 2 of Egypt
We have seen, everything man touch instantly becomes corrupt
unfortunately Amarikans have extremely short memory, or suffer from acute amnesia. Amarika is akin to Germans in Germany during WW2. They are sold on the idea of their exceptionalism, they are the superior nation.
Amarikans even today, had no idea they are being used by "feudal lords" aka "0ligarchy" hiding behind mega corp0rations, leaders are being replaced via faked Dem0cracy with zero accountability, so no one knows who does what and when and is easily forgotten.
China has a lot of poor folk too. And their govt is right now engaged in crimes against humanity. Ever heard of the Uighurs? China is committing genocide against them as we speak. Its like Abu Graib but systematic and such crimes are committed against everyone of a particular ethnic group. Its one thing to be a master builder. But if you truly want to be admired you have to not engage in ethnic cleansing. And that is just a first step and a very low bar. Do that and you won't be *hated* but do that and also do some positive things and you'll get admired.
Most of those chinese buildings are crumbling. They are fast because they are cutting corners. Their houses last for 5-10 years only.
In America as long as youre rich and high up in politics you can get away with anything.
Lawyers and marketing professionals, America's core services.

Personally I hold ordinary Americans RESPONSIBLE for their contributions to Crimes Against Humanity around the world.
These people keep voting for the same politicians who elect the same laws that affect most people around the world THEN turn around and say "but we didn't do anything". ZERO accountability from these people ZERO! Global citizens need to hold these hypocrites accountable for their actions
Did they?
@@chukwumeremezechukwu4759 YES! They elect the same people who keep pushing for war. They voted for and supported ALL the wars that were fought on false pretenses. They fail over and over again to do their research and fall for the same BS which brings massive harm to others around the world.
Yet y'all want ZERO accountability for the terrible place you've made the world with your stupid foreign policies
Who cares what you hold.
@@anthonycaruso8443 There are some that care!! The worldly court will never judge the American people, but God will. The lack of knowledge will not excuse anyone.
I agree as well. There are other parties and no war candidates but Americans don't organize themselves to vote for them

NOT peacefully!!!
I think there is no better show on News Media than BackSpace...Sana just does the justice to journalism and provides hope that maybe true journalism is atill alive..she does not hold back and rightly so in pointing at politicians as well as othr news media who were and still are responsible for fabricating lies which leads to wars and deaths of innicents around the world. Excellend work Sana
Wonderful work!

That's why I love watching such topics on outside channels American channels, bare truths, no sugar coating, propaganda
It’s wild. They teach you these things in school. I remember going over many of these topics in my AP human Geography class and AP government class. As interesting as it is, I guess I never gave it too much critical thought.

With the ICC being virtually toothless against nations that have not ratified the Rome Statues ie China USA Russia , how can there be accountability?

Amazing job
i just can't imagine how those people could sleep soundly after what they did....... thousands of lives lost........
Simply because they are people from the genuine 'Axis of evil'.
Millions!
They're the WORST people the earth has ever produced!
Those who are dead wished that they can crawl back to life and those who are still alive will soon join their dead and enjoy ever lasting hell that their Creator have specially reserved for them.
Psychopaths do not have a sense of conscience. And when told they get to live forever as a consequence of Believing, well, then they can claim that their god told them to start a war and get maximum support. Their god committed genocide on the entire planet so go figure that his most prominent spokesmen do things like invade Iraq or Ukraine. Both of those guys wore their god on their sleeve and made sure their citizens saw them as god worshipping holy men so that the citizens wouldn't mind so much with all the war crimes because what big deal is a war crime when you worship a god who *brags about* murdering everyone on the planet in a great big flood and says its why you should Fear him?

You gotta imagine also, these type of invasions were harder to do 20 years ago because of the USSR and China. The USSR helped liberate most of Africa while the west tried to keep them as colonial states.
After the fall of the USSR there was not enough nations willing to help prevent the u.s from waging wars where ever they wanted anymore.
The communist were a great force of defense against u.s and western imperialist invasions.
Then... how do you explain the gruesome war in Vietnam led by the US between 1955-1975 while USSR was in its golden age?
USSR and China have not been able to stop the US-led war in Vietnam.
@@vincentlagrange2329 the Vietnam invasion was about the US capitalist class securing foreign assets that they seized through imperialism and maintaining there grip by supporting there puppet dictatorship in the south.
The common people of Vietnam wanted to break free and were fighting for independence and freedom, while the west was trying to suppress there rebellion.
The capitalist class has waged war on the ideology of Communism and Socialism, from the very beginning, domestic and abroad, worried it would sweep the world like wildfire and eventually remove the power they established through colonialism and imperialism.
The USSR at the time was giving out millions worldwide in weapons, supplies etc to revolutionary groups fighting against imperialism, in Vietnam it was no different, they gave millions in economic aid and support with weapons, medical supplies etc to the Vietnam people, and after they won they got more support so they could build factories, power plants, coal mines etc.
The U.S could not control the people of Vietnam anymore, lost control and had to pull out. The common people of Vietnam won, secured there nation afterwards and had to build out of the destruction we left.
A candid analysis! Shameless creatures, creating wars for their selfish ends!😡😡😡
It's amazing to note the Iraqi invasion by the US and Coalition Forces was termed Military Operations. Russia really took Its cue from the US - Special Military Operations in Ukraine 😮
Very good!!!!!
Thank you for sharing us this great info.
This is sad and true. But why aren't people taking the case against the Bush Administration and Media to the ICC? This needs to be done now.
First of all, the U.S. doesn't support the ICC even though it supports the arrest warrant against Trump issued by the Hague.

This is why I get worried when I hear about Iran and nuclear bombs. Also, the aggressive approach of western governments (US, Israel) might potentially provoke the Iranians into creating a bomb in the first place.
The only people that are fit to change the regime are the Iranian people themselves and they are the only ones fit to rule.
Americans you introduced a taste of ATOMIC BOMB to the world.
Now it's about time to feel it yourself how it really tastes like?
It's taste must be delicious!!!.
We had a housekeeper during this era who threatened to call Sadam on us everytime we misbehaved or didn't finish our food! The Iraqi war always takes me back to her! She'd allow us to watch a bit of the war and tell us how dangerous Sadam was and how she'd simply give him a call😂
