hey mike, how about the russians have gained 100’s of kilometers of ground since the beginning of the year? how about the ukrainians are losing up to 2k killed and wounded every day? how about the russians have complete air superiority and can drop 2,000 to 3,000 kilogram fab bombs with total accuracy at will at any place along the front line whenever they want without any chance of being intercepted? how about russia is outgunning the ukrainians in artillery at a rate of at least 5:1. how about the ukrainians have to kidnap their citizens off the streets every day to combat the chronic shortage of troops? how about ukraine has less than 12 hours of electricity every day? how about russia is capturing new villages and towns every day and is increasing its territory in large urban areas every day? how about the ukrainian economy is on the verge of collapse and can only survive with foreign funding but still has a massive shortfall in its funding and is in a catastrophic situation? i get it you guys want to support ukraine but distorting the situation and presenting it as a stalemate does a disservice to the ukrainians who are dying every day in a war they can’t possibly win just to further the aims of the US and some crappy think tank that thinks they are ‘weakening putin’ deplorable. and before you rush to call me a bot, how about contradicting anything i’ve just said first.
The problem with the desi American is his lack of awareness beyond his family needs and community. They need to understand that democrats are pretentious, virtue signalling hypocrites. Indians unfortunately are not known for original thinking as they come from a culture of conformity. Power is of consequence to their brahminical outlook. Where power exists, there they swing. Once republicans throw a biscuit bag of incentives, they will wag their tail. For now democrats appeal of woke struggle against racism gives the Indian Americans and their culture (on western lands) a feel of much needed anchor and support. The hypocrisy is yet to be noticed.
This interview is a waste of time, just giving this ambassador a forum to justify the genocide in Gaza. It always amazes me how the Israelis believe their own lies.
Liberals can’t be community oriented or people centric person , they want power control censorship that’s a TRUTH curse on religion divide folks on basis of caste .
It's curious that non of the speakers delved in to issues of slavery colonization and neocolonization that's disrupted the civilization of African peoples... aren't any of the speakers aware of the intents of the articles of the charter of imperialism and the Berlin conference mapping of indegenous African peoples into unworkable chattels called countries? I would have thought that like Asia...the first order of thoughtful consideration is the self determination and full sovereignty of indegenous African peoples into natural countries just like in Asia where they can develop based on their civilizational worldviews instead of this inert reluctance to embrace the civilization of African peoples prior to the trauma and humiliation of slavery colonization and neocolonization...this where to take off... naturally the westphalian model of civilization refuses to acknowledge the right of indegenous African peoples to their natural civilization and right to self determination and full sovereignty beyond their behest.... Small Asian countries like Cambodia and Laos will not subsume their self determination and full sovereignty to large countries like Japan, India or China... small European countries like Sweden, Bulgaria or Iceland won't subsume their self determination and full sovereignty to any euphemism or rhetorics of a herd.... it's disrespectful and the speakers need to go home and do some inflection... Julius Malema was rudely shocked at the polls to disabuse his ideas.
I’m a leftist lib who doesn’t like modi or the bjp but there are better arguments than ‘he is popular therefore fascism’. ‘Academics’ like this give lowkey colonialism vibes. And how do you become a professor when you don’t even have your basic facts right? Lord if i behaved like this in my field, they’d take my phd away but that’s probably bc it’s an actual science that’s often challenged
I'm BJP supporter. And in my view they make significant loss of seats bcz of 5 reasons - Arrogance, too much use of communal line, domestic churning on price rise & unemployment, lackluster interest in ground label by cadres including RSS, above all 400 paar narrative.
Beg to differ on aid. It is unprecedented that an invaded country has to first feed the enemy before it can defend its citizens. War is about winning. Had Israel been able to implement a siege this war would have been over in weeks and fewer people would be dead. It’s surprising that so called experts can’t see that. Biden has flip flopped in his commitment to Israel which has further extended the agony of this war.
Aaron, I fundamentally disagree with your perspective. David is correct in his assessment of Hamas having zero interest in a deal, but my conclusion differs. The Gilad Shalit deal was an excellent example for why Israel can-not make a deal with Hamas. Because it resulted in incentivizing terrorist organizations to commit more abductions and to increase their attacks to the point we are in now. The next example is when the Hadar Goldin family demanded that Israel apply as much international pressure it can to make Hamas return Hadar & Oron's bodies after 9 years. During this time they were accused by Israeli mainstream media as being crazy, assuming the family wanted to make another deal akin to the Gilad Shalit deal which they agreed would be a disaster. The family said that they opposed the Gilad Shalit deal AND the current abandonment of our people in Gaza because it will further incentivize another abduction attempt at a wider scale. And they were correct - given the 7th of October massacre. Now during this war, the Israeli mainstream media is pushing to commit a Gilad Shalit deal a thousand-fold, ignoring their previous statements. And ignoring the fact that the current head of Hamas in Gaza - Sinwar - is one of the terrorists released from the initial Gilad Shalit deal. This isn't irony. It's cause and effect: Reward terrorists for committing terror, and more terror will follow. And let me point out that the last deal for the release of 40 hostages was a failure. Hamas did not return all 40 hostages and broke every single condition in the deal at a daily basis. Yet Biden held Israel accountable and ignored Hamas' typically bad behavior. Biden essentially backed Hamas on the deal, and further negotiations, further incentivizing them to radicalize and act as bad faith actors. Why would Hamas go for a deal when Biden has been applying pressure only-on Israel (Have you forgotten that Biden is delaying arms shipments to Israel for months now (in contempt of congress bi-partisan decisions)? And that the Dem party has been publicly denouncing Bibi for months as well and calling for elections in Israel during the war?)? Why would Israel trust Hamas to commit to any deal when they have broken their word at EVERY single opportunity? In regards to the crises of the Gazan people: The only people who want control of Gaza is Hamas. And every single survey amongst the Gazans and the PA shows that the Palestinians will only accept Hamas as their governing body (including their ideals to eradicate Israel). So how does Israel relinquish control of Gaza this time, while ensuring an end to terrorism from Gaza? And how do we ensure the Gazans receive the humanitarian aid from the entire world when they refuse to fight for the aid when Hamas takes it from them (and Biden pressured the IDF to back out and let this happen)? And it is public knowledge that many of the hostages were taken by Gazans officially unaffiliated with Hamas. Hamas admitted this, and the 3 latest rescued hostages were held captive by a UN doctor. So who can Israel trust in Gaza?

Just a bunch of Zionist apologists trying impress the horror of October 7th without owning up to the horror and their role in it, visited on Palestinians since 1948. This is without merit, just talking in an echo chamber.

You guys actually think leaving Hamas in power will help to yield any good long term results for any of the sides!? It only ensures more death and destruction down the road… SMH
These two Israel apologists spent their entire career leading American policy in the Middle East and what do we have to show for? An American enabled and armed genocide Honestly I’d shut up and stay quite if was one of you two. Alas you have no shame tho
Didn’t Hamas accept the deal? I saw a video of Hamas leader saying that he accepted the deal. It was Israel that rejected it. Please be honest in your presentation.
@@practice4523 That's the ignorant response. Jews are indigenous to Israel and the Middle East and arrived to Europe after the Romans destroyed the second temple and where forced out of Judea, Samaria (West Bank, for you) and the Kingdom of Israel in Israel came to an end, but there were always small communities of Jews that stayed. Its a sham so much misinformation and hate is in the world today.
@@meravl9951 You should also give a similar lecture to @johnstewart7025 telling him that Palestinians belong to Palestine and should not be put on ships sending them to Iran
Depending on the geopolitical data now available, Amos (עמוס) will try to offer Lebanon a generous request. Stop the war in the south and we will give you the right to develop gas fields and maybe fair solution for some borders issue. But what the Amos(עמוס) do not understand is that in the south lebanon there is a person who is governed by principles before interests. The solution start in stoping the war in Gaza ..
No to a palestinian state This is a legal precedence for mainland China to legally own, control, and exploit the south China sea because of the name China in it in the fashion of pales statehood because Romans name it Palestina to taunt the revolting Jews. establishing a pales state invalidates all post-war partitions - Gibraltar goes back to Spain, Northern Ireland goes back to Ireland, Singapore back to Malaysia, Ukraine and the Baltics back to the defunct USSR, etc., etc. Might as well Denmark gets Norway and Sweden to its fold if that's the case. this Pales folly has rejected a handful of opportunities to have a state of its own but they lost it to terrorists. this pales dream is inviting ww3. New nations are getting ready to defend their own nations no matter what.
For a state to be recognized, it, first, needs the necessary prerequisites for statehood. Neither the Palestinian Autonomy, nor Gaza have these internationally recognized prerequisites. The discourse should be not about recognition of corrupted and/or terrorist-run territories, but working on a road map to build at least some of the nationhood prerequisites. To begin with, changing the hatred-breeding narrative taught at school in Gaza and in the Palestinian autonomy. Not an easy and quick fix.
58:05 Fiona Hill on Finland, Europe's new security order, and the United States's role in it. Everyone says that Finland and Sweden joining NATO was a reaction to the full-scale war in Ukraine but that's only half the truth. It was actually a reaction to the collapse of the post-Cold War security order in Europe, of which the escalation of Russian aggression was an indication of. Albeit more optimistic, the situation was similar in the 1990s when the communist bloc collapsed. It was understood that it was a pivotal moment. Europe was entering a new era and Finns wanted to be present at the table where the decisions regarding the future of the continent were made. You know, we may be small but we take our national security and geopolitics very seriously. We're not going to allow major players to discuss over our heads without taking our interests into consideration. We've been fairly successful in that aspect too. Finland constantly punches above its weight diplomatically. So, the nation has long been a proponent of defence cooperation within the EU framework. If the United States continues to be isolationist or an unreliable partner -- which, let's be honest, it has been for more than just the past eight or so months -- Finland and like-minded allies are going to push European interests more strongly within the NATO framework as well. We simply cannot leave European security up to the American electorate. Waiting for Trump, Putin, or Xi to choke on a grape is not a sufficient strategy. Where that leaves the USA is not clear. It's possible that something happens and it gets sucked back in (more) or something happens and Europe needs to start paying closer attention to Asia. That, or there will be a European NATO.
