He's too honest. Plus, he could never be bought by a certain group so he would be brought down pretty quickly by the owned media. He wouldn't have a chance against them.
I like Galloway but much of his reasoning is circular. His claim that the Western International Order has "Failed" because there are "ILLEGAL acts of War" is a self defeating claim. The concept of condemning a war as ILLEGAL only makes sense if you first admit there is some International Order that asserts an "ILLEGAL War" is a sensible concept in the first place. Galloway isn't taking into account that the very concept of condemning a war as "ILLEGAL" is itself a success of the International Order he is condemning. For most of human history there was just WAR. An "Illegal War" wasn't even a sensible concept.
can't second this enough. i wish the US had politicians with that kind of integrity. the closest thing i can think of would be Ron Paul, though he comes at it from the libertarian side of things as opposed to the Left.
People like him cant become Prime minister and in case they manage to become either they get assassinate or character assassinate by corrupt Mafia and Media
George Galloway is the only one on the stage that understands the moral difference between classroom theory and harsh reality. Don't ever stop yelling, George. It's the polite cowards that don't like yelling that allowed the fascism we see around the world today.
I like Galloway a lot but he is only good at emphasizing failures, he doesn't have the ability to acknowledge success or understand relative degrees of failure. If you can't acknowledge things that have worked about the western global order or draw distinctions between degrees of failure, then what contrasting measure are you using to claim things have "Failed"? Failed relative to what? In a world Of 8 billion people there will always be chaos to point to, if you can't draw relative distinctions between the phenomena in the world then how are you going to create a constructive path to minimizing the worst of those outcomes?
There are far more George Galloways in this world than his opponents. Corporate media just makes the opposite reality seem real. It is after all an illusionary industry. If you aren't close to your local communities, it becames infinitely easier for corporate media(s) to co-opt your mind. That's just a psychological fact.

Agree whole heartedly but. Sorry , but , provocateur not quite correct. He's the voice whom sees as clearly and without fame or favour to a party. No , he's the light that shines on those weak. Yes , weak men and women , who were brought up to obey the MASTERS. Brave , is my choice.
Donatus Chiedu the world of power always spoke against the voices denouncing abuse of power, and most of journalists are dancing the pace of power elites. George Galloway is a public voice to be heard.
Very poor from Leonard. Where is he from ? The Moon ? What was he talking about, Who can explain ??? Galloway, First Class !!! Constructive, real, on the subject.
Understand him. He is an academician. Mostly theory. He has done eloquently well. But only theoretically. But then there is the pragmatic George to clear things for US.
@@abrahamsitali7200 Leonard is paid to justify a position (like every "think tank", they have a position first, they choose their "facts" second), not to analyze what actually happened.
If donald tr ump sacked these military and intelligence advisers he would better off. They are all war mongers. The man is doing far more good than any of the other presidents
Galloway - I want a UN with no veto powers and international rule of law Mark - It is better to have an idea what order we want to live in, than just saying it doesn´t work if i doesn´t work Paraphrasing here, but that was what i was hearing in the last bit of the conversation

@@auditoryproductions1831 Yes but now we supposedly have international law , what we really have is the law of the jungle where might makes right . The west doesn't give a damn about international law .
Galloway nailed it. Second speaker fail to understand that Trump is literally mentally ill, and that cases like the dismantling of the Iran deal is not some kind of 3 dimensional chess from Trump´s side, it´s in fact just doing it because Obama made the deal. Basically to simplify Trump´s policy. Fight for the white "race" and do the opposite of what Obama did, and dismantle his legacy. Only place where Trump agree with Obama is that war is good business, and that is why he increased the war effort 4 times the level the Obama administration

George was brilliant as usual. His rival was no match for him. It was like watching Fergie's Man Utd playing David Moyes Man Utd. His rival had a smug attitude but George totally floored him with logic
I like George but "logic" is his weakest attribute, A lot of his reasoning is circular.

Salam alaykum. Peace and safety to all who read this. My question is: "Where do we go from here?" The arguments on both sides have certain merits, but for the sake of Almighty God, what is the ideal way for all of us to proceed? Someone offer us a directive for a future with success, please!
This mismatch of intellect was almost (but not quite) as bad as when the US sent Pompeo to meet with Russia's Sergey Lavrov. When Pompeo tried to brag about how the Monroe Doctrine meant the whole Hemisphere was the domain of the US, I thought he was going to cry when Lavrov answered him, "So what are you doing in Ukraine". It was so smooth it was beautiful.
Final comment by Leonard was very telling 'The very fact that you can talk about an illegal act means that there means there must have been have been a law' ... he was referring to Galloway's reference to the Iraq War being an illegal act under International Law. Queue a resounding crescendo of applause from the chattering intelligentsia .... Wow. How utterly frustrating for Galloway. He was given less time to speak, rebuked for shouting & spoken to in a very condescending manner by the forum 'mediator'. An utterly neo-liberal environment for him to have to speak in for sure, I have no doubt nobody there has ever had to endure a day of hardship in their life, all card carrying supporters of the 'Blairite wing of the Labour Party for sure.
Yes. This last comment drew a warm round of applause from an audience baked in media delusion and grasping at Leonard's cheap rhetorical trick-- that 'international law' is an ideal 'we' are striving to achieve rather than an everyday playground of hypocrisy and deception where the very idea of international law is used to hide continuous mass murder across the globe. That would be, and is, unthinkable for them. It's who they are. The enablers of what they pretend to oppose.
Leonard's final comment in no way invalidated anything Galloway said, George clearly said he does believe in international law, but that it has to be followed, so Leonard final rant was a complete non sequitur - saying that we can point to something being illegal only thanks to the fact we have laws is stating the obvious, and it's not addressing the problem, it's pretty much saying nothing, like the rest of Leonard's ramblings. And the mediator was a condescending asshole.
To be fair it was Galloway who came out attacking Leonard with the claim that his "Hero's" are George Bush and Tony Blair which wasn't at all what Leonard said or implied.
When war is business, peace is an existential threat. George is spot on. The other guy, justifies his crimes the same way those he supports to destroy do... The fact there has been no accountability, derails his point about "calling it illegal, proves there is a rules based order." And now, those who exposed war crimes are the ones paying for it, by the very same "rules based order".
As always and believe me I know what I am talking about as I am International Lawyer former lecturer in University (now retired) George Galloway is absolutely correct. His major problem is that he is not an academic and that makes academics very nervous that someone as Galloway ca wipe the floor with them at any time of the day. Galloway is using pure logic and is not burdened with some failing philosophy but is rather very deeply entrenched in the facts and correlations between them.
Easier said than done when taking the moral high ground. I think George ideas are way better. The other guy thinks he's immune to all the mistakes others before him made but George knows that's not true and is more honest and pragmatic. Mike Tyson once said everybody has a plan in the boxing ring until they get hit. Same with this guy debating with George. He's all righteous and morally high in the totem pole until he succumbs to mistakes when he's confronted with an actual situation instead of a hypothetical situation.
'35:13 kindly let me decide the tone the tone of voice'... Classic George, when you think you can knock him out , he gives it back to you ten fold.....
Mark Leonard is a ' Political scientist '. I fail to see any Science in Politics. Such cooked up qualifications does no justice for their titles nor what they have to say.
Why sure there is. He even brings up a perfect example; "Muh holocaust happened, so 'x' 'y' and 'z', and if you say anything otherwise, you're an anti-semite." Psychological operations (psyops) ideological subversion, and propaganda are such examples of political science. Watch; Yuri Bezmenov.
Mark Leonard doesn't know what he is talking about it is amazing how shallow a person he is calling mistakes the killings of people and catastrophe of so many countries and the continuation of uncertainty and lack of security more than ever how on earth people like him manage to survive even a day in today's world is beyond me
"co-founder and director of the European Council on Foreign Relations" translation: set up office in Brussels and pays himself and some mates a load of taxpayers money.
Least we forget, having fought in the Vietnam War I must draw your attention to the fact that the war was started by France refusing to give up a colonial dictatorship.
Mark Leonard's 'rules based global order': from post WWII 1945 to now, since he considers WWII to be the most justified war against Nazi Germany, only counting US under pre-Trump regimes, Invasions & armed attempts (regardless of successful or not) of regime change/CIA Coups: China, Italy, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Phillipines, Austria, Costa Rica, Albania, Syria (several attempts), Egypt, Iran (several attempts), Guatemala, Indonesia (several times), Lebanon, Iraq (several times), Congo, Laos (several times), Dominican Republic (several times), Cuba, Brazil, Vietnam, Pakistan, Cambodia, Afghanistan (several times), El Salvador, Chad, Nicaragua, Grenada, Panama, Haiti, Yugoslavia, Palestinian areas (long continued effort), Honduras, Venezuela, Libya and Yemen. Thats about 80 years worth of invasions and political situation worthy of intervention directly and where US got caught afterwards. If you count all the atrocities and regime changes conducted via covert intelligence or indirect supply of arms manufactured by the US, you can expect another list just as long, with the added bonus of US having a hand in almost every genocide as defined by the ICC since 1945. Are they done for oil, money, or the best intentions? Does it matter at this point? Lay the death of a few million at their feet and see if any type of justification can save their conscience. "The US media have induced this notion that our foreign policy are 'blundering efforts to do good' in our population. Problem is, there is not a shred of evidence to suggest this is true'.
Powerful by George as ever. A global look as opposed to a disjointed, self serving micro picture of modernity and progress, through the eyes of the powerful. Boom ting George👏🏾
Dear sir, Mr. Galloway. I commend u sir, yr passion and spirit is something to behold.. thank God we have someone to speak the truth about what they have done to humanity... I appreciate yr empathy u wear yr heart on yr sleeve. I would give u the Noble peace prize for if anyone deserves it, it is u sir! Thank u George for everything yr doing for the innocent blood they spilled to gain their oil, that country’s wealth its ppl are demolished its country flattened and the ppl living in poverty that is a disgrace in this day and age.... war, killing is wrong it’s not the answer... thank u George, u should b president of every nation... I commend u and pls stay safe as these ppl would do anything to silence any critic of their behaviour... b safe sir, and I am yr fan.. god bless u from Sydney Australia.. 🙏🙏🙏❤️✝️🐬😥✝️❤️🙏🙏🙏
As always, a passionate, lucid and forceful contribution from Galloway. The unnamed moderator was right though: he makes his points just as powerfully when he refrains from shouting, as he does after her polite admonishment. His opponent failed to persuade in any of his arguments.
C. Saucier Qc M. Galloway was brilliantly outspoken as usual . As for that front and center stage clown in charge of diverting the cameras off of the genocidal actions of the swomp animals around the white house Mr Trump, if he was so good with math. figures ,i whonder if he could have gone bankrupted ,was it once or twice before his presidency ?
@@lisondemers8690 Not only Trump went bankrupt - he claimed loss of over BILLION dollars. That is going bankrupt in style. That is now he has to launder Russian money since US banks are not lending him any..
Looking at George Galloway I understand that corporate worldwide media is complete bullshit for people (people who doesn’t want to think and analyze at all). George Galloway is a brilliant. Look how passion he is, knowledgeable, honest and experienced. God bless him.

Don't mess with George he had been correct all these years. He knows what he is saying.

Why sure there is. He even brings up a perfect example; "Muh holocaust happened, so 'x' 'y' and 'z', and if you say anything otherwise, you're an anti-semite."
Psychological operations (psyops) ideological subversion, and propaganda are such examples of political science.
Watch; Yuri Bezmenov.
That "political science" guy seems delusional.
Mark Leonard doesn't know what he is talking about it is amazing how shallow a person he is calling mistakes the killings of people and catastrophe of so many countries and the continuation of uncertainty and lack of security more than ever how on earth people like him manage to survive even a day in today's world is beyond me
The true hero is one and only..... Mr George.....love and Respect.......
"co-founder and director of the European Council on Foreign Relations"
translation: set up office in Brussels and pays himself and some mates a load of taxpayers money.
GEORGE IS A LEGEND THE COUNTRY NEEDS YOU
Galloway, the Big Balls Man in England. Your verb is crushingly true. Thanks, my man!
We need more George Galloways in this age of insane liberalism
Also noticed the other guy was given a lot more time than George and the woman came across a bit patronising towards Galloway.
you can do one thing: stop pretending to care about democracy in third world countries
Least we forget, having fought in the Vietnam War I must draw your attention to the
fact that the war was started by France refusing to give up a colonial dictatorship.
Don't enter a debate with Galloway unless you can stand the heat. He is a master of the art.
I love it when George Galloway uses Andrew Neil (a BBC Sock Puppet) as an Azz-wipe.
spot on mr g
Game- set- and match George Galloway.
George you did it again 👍🏼👏👏👏
George kicking ass ..great job
George Leonard is clueless.Galloway spot on,as usual
"There is a clear disruption in western foreign policy" 😂😂😂 Not in decades 😂😂😂
What a joke that was. I blame you for this mans clear ignorance, BBC.
G.Galloway can never be a prime minister!He's too honest.
George Galloway is my hero and the hero of so many who like the truth voiced with elegance and class. ❤️
Mark Leonard's 'rules based global order': from post WWII 1945 to now, since he considers WWII to be the most justified war against Nazi Germany, only counting US under pre-Trump regimes, Invasions & armed attempts (regardless of successful or not) of regime change/CIA Coups:
China, Italy, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Phillipines, Austria, Costa Rica, Albania, Syria (several attempts), Egypt, Iran (several attempts), Guatemala, Indonesia (several times), Lebanon, Iraq (several times), Congo, Laos (several times), Dominican Republic (several times), Cuba, Brazil, Vietnam, Pakistan, Cambodia, Afghanistan (several times), El Salvador, Chad, Nicaragua, Grenada, Panama, Haiti, Yugoslavia, Palestinian areas (long continued effort), Honduras, Venezuela, Libya and Yemen.
Thats about 80 years worth of invasions and political situation worthy of intervention directly and where US got caught afterwards. If you count all the atrocities and regime changes conducted via covert intelligence or indirect supply of arms manufactured by the US, you can expect another list just as long, with the added bonus of US having a hand in almost every genocide as defined by the ICC since 1945. Are they done for oil, money, or the best intentions? Does it matter at this point? Lay the death of a few million at their feet and see if any type of justification can save their conscience.
"The US media have induced this notion that our foreign policy are 'blundering efforts to do good' in our population. Problem is, there is not a shred of evidence to suggest this is true'.
George Galloway is spot on.
The 2nd speaker has no idea what's going on.
Powerful by George as ever. A global look as opposed to a disjointed, self serving micro picture of modernity and progress, through the eyes of the powerful. Boom ting George👏🏾
Go Go George Galloway kaboom.
The more Leonard talks the less he seems to know. George nails him right proper!!!

No wonder George is a bit of a yeller. :) Keep yelling George. :)
One individual is talking nonsense and works for the ECFR, and one individual says interesting things and is called George Calloway.
As always, a passionate, lucid and forceful contribution from Galloway. The unnamed moderator was right though: he makes his points just as powerfully when he refrains from shouting, as he does after her polite admonishment. His opponent failed to persuade in any of his arguments.

M. Galloway was brilliantly outspoken as usual . As for that front and center stage clown in charge of diverting the cameras off of the genocidal actions of the swomp animals around the white house Mr Trump, if he was so good with math. figures ,i whonder if he could have gone bankrupted ,was it once or twice before his presidency ?
Lison Demers 6 times! Just today nytimes said he lost 1 billion during 1 decade! And he and family failed to pay millions in taxes due to tax fraud.
You confuse shouting with someone that expresses his informed opinion with passion.
@@lisondemers8690 Not only Trump went bankrupt - he claimed loss of over BILLION dollars. That is going bankrupt in style. That is now he has to launder Russian money since US banks are not lending him any..
Looking at George Galloway I understand that corporate worldwide media
is complete bullshit for people (people who doesn’t want to think and analyze
at all). George Galloway is a brilliant. Look how passion he is, knowledgeable,
honest and experienced. God bless him.
We're glad you enjoyed the video, Pavel. You can seem ore from George Galloway here:

This guy Leonard citing his family record in the middle of the discussion with GeorgeG!!!! Pathetic and he is head of European Council !!!!!!
You talk the truth Galloway absolutely the truth 🙏🏻🙏🏻
GG is a brave, honest and factual.
"All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting." George Orwell
Can you imagine this type of discussion taking place on a major American news channel w/o the host or the other guests constantly interrupting something they disagree with?
This was no way a debate cause The mediator gave more time to Mark which we the audience didn't want. Listening to George articulate increases my IQ.
Good for George to have the guts to talk to these overbearing wannabe political Spinners on stage.
Well said George and spot on. ☘
