Germans until today are still too scared to find out who BLEW up the Nord Stream? This is where the problem is. General or not, there are no credibility from Germans anymore because its all pretending to be solving something they hvent identified yet. Germany, United states is your enemy, not Russia.
The interview conducted by Prof. Bednarz with intellectuals is interesting. However, there is something to consider. In the GDR, there were three ways to get through life. The connections between these options were fluid. 1. You fully supported the state. 2. You kept your mouth shut and tried to get by, as the saying goes, ‘with your back against the wall.’ 3. You joined the opposition, with all the resulting consequences. The majority of GDR citizens tended toward the second option. However, most intellectuals, at least those interviewed by Bednarz, found themselves somewhere between options 1 and 2.
Sometimes confusing for me why NATO members would like to have this proxy war raising this terror alert that Russia is existential threat to them. Even US previous presidential advisors and policy makers believe it it a false pretext to weaken Russia. At the it is EU and its people who will suffer the most while US weapon makers and energy suppliers fattening their coffers.
Totally excellent. I am more cynical than the General about European ability to do anything that the U.S. might object to as a failing empire grasping for straws. Kujat is not a cynic, obviously. Otherwise, his analysis is sound and objective, a voice of reason as is Jack Matlock. I also see NATO as a disorganized mess created by disagreeing countries with divergent interests, but admittedly, I am not a military person.
The majority of German citizen is against the war efforts. There are many who also support Ukraine (for extremely different reasons actually). Also there is those who have too much problems or too much money (almost the same thing) to even care. To this day I remember the streets of my home town in Germany crowded with average people protesting against the second Iraqi war and against Bush Junior. There was no left and right no transgender, rich or poor at this time. Just people protesting. It was a point when everything started to change in this country. However lots of good people in East and West -Germany and lots of people who at least try to not be totally BS. There is a glimpse of hope that this country and culture survives the next 100-500 years but no certainty.The German elites are so different to the people I meet every day who work all day and care for relatives and do other things to make a living and help each other. It´s very sad it has come to this point.
It’s so true. All our efforts are in vain because you are completely surrounded by the brainwashed. Rational speech is considered condescending to the unlearned!
If the EU had ANY self-respect, they would not have supported Nuland's nonsense from 2014....Merkel and Hollande admitted lying about Minsk...remember the leaked telephone call '''F**k the EU.....''
Russia is rich in resources, that's why NATO and the comedy actor president want to justify this utter folly, at the expense of 1000s of young Ukrainian lives Russia evidently saw all this coming
I have recently been introduced to the writings of Anthony Sutton regarding western financing and military support of the Communist takeover of Russia, and the following industrialization of that country. It is very interesting but also disgusting to know. At this point there is nothing the people that have controlled the United States could have done that would surprise or shock me. What I have learned thus far of the real history of the United States is enough to make anyone an anarchist. What I mean by that is, I once felt pride and safety when military jets or helicopters flew over. Knowing what people in power in this country have done here and abroad, I do not feel that way anymore. I used to say “especially in Central and South America”, but after what has been done in Libya, Iraq, Syria and a dozen other countries, it is world wide. How can they get people to do these things? I don’t understand. My opinion, it is the bankers, since they have owned the US since 1935.
The leaders of Ukraine are the only people that can talk peace or war in Ukraine. NATO countries have no input except for the supply of weapons and information. Peace is far better than any war. Wars are led by madmen.
The talk has just begun. The Professor has just talked about being told westerners are naive. Born and raised in the USA. I do not believe a word the US government, the Legacy media and most pundits say. In fact here, everything is upside down. You can almost predict from what they say, what really is. If they say Putin is evil, you can almost bet Putin is ok. If they say Putin started a war with Ukraine, you can pretty much bet the US or Ukraine started the war.
In East Germany, the Cops didn't tell you how old you have to be for sex. In East Germany, the Cops didn't arrest you for decades old killings. In East Germany, teenage criminals were not given lenience. In East Germany, the Birthrate was high and people married very young - despite legal abortien and women equality. In East Germany, Border Guards weren't tried in court for doing your job. In East Germany, every Beach was a nude beach, and if you you invoke "think of the Children", they locked up your children. In East Germany, they didn't permit religious minorities. In East Germany, Gays were neither persecuted nor celebrated. In East Germany, they didn't give Money to NGOs and Israel.
There is NOTHING to negotiate. Pack your bags from Russian territory and get out. Then Do NOT join NATO or you will lose more territories . Ukrainian can set up military court and imprison zelensky and his pro-war politicians
It is high time to wake up to the reality for EUROPEAN LEADERSHIP (ONE LEADER) to make the peace here. Our American leadership have let us down through the NATO strategy to conduct war in Europe in 2024. It is time to disban NATO and we EUROPEANS seize control of our OWN soverignity, security and independent autonomy in EUROPE and gently ask our American cousins TO GO HOME.
Wonderful comment from the German general, unfortunately spoiled by the interviewer's never ending monologue, repeating the same questions 3 different ways. Can he not find another job?
It seems that the main reason why the US is destroying the order of international rights they helped to set up, is that it has ceased to be a useful tool for them. The US and vassals are willing to destroy what they built up, and replace it with a new order based upon force and fear instead of reason and morality.
How many Countries has Russia colonized? How many countries is Russia occupying right now? Is it the west and US that are the occupying forces of the world? What evidence do you have that siggests Russia has an imperial ambition if not just fearmongering ,warmongering and lies spread and financed by the globalists comprising of The Western Military industrial Complex,Neocons financial globalists. You must understand that NATO IS PRESENTLY BEING DEMILIERALIZED IN UKRAIN BECAUSE THEY ARE INDEED ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS. REMEMBER THAT RUSSIA ALONE FOUGHT OFF THE FACIST GOVERNMENT OF GERMENY TO A CRAZY COST OF 25MILLION MEN . YOU CANNOT BLAME RUSSIA FOR TAKING THE STEPS THEY TOOK. . NATO IN UKRAIN IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO RUSSIA . IMAGINE RUSSIA SETTING UP A MILITARY BASE IN MEXICO BOARDERS WITH THE US OR IN CANADA 'S BOARDER WITH THE US? YOU HAVE BEEN MORE OBJECTIVE THAN MOST INTERVIEWERS IN THE WEST. THE TRUTH IS THAT RUSSIA HAS BEEN VERY RESERVED AND CULTURED
East Germans are not more sensitive, they just prefer the old narratives and find it condescending to pretend the western media was better or more free than the Russian one. Better the devil you know.
Pascal - do check out the terms of the NATO-enforced "peace treaty" in the Serbian civil war in 1999. Both parties (Serbian and Kosovans) rejected the terms of the proposed peace treaty. One of the terms was that no US participant of the implementation of the plan (esp. the military!) would be liable for any crime committed by them. The parties were given 14 days to commit, and when they refused, NATO's bombing campaign started.
Very somber realities. We saw them coming. And now they are here And out in the open. We are now a Genocidal PARIAH. THE SUPPORT OF THE WHOLESALE MASSACRE AND BRUTALIZATION OF PALESTINE COULD NOT REACH ANY OTHER OUTCOME. WE WILL WATCH THE POLICIES OF RUSSIA AND CHINA MOVE FORWARD. THE US and Europe are no longer the future. We missed the bus. It has gone without us. There is really nothing here To be surprised about. The words MADE IN AMERICA Once graced quality products. The manufacturing skills that were embodied in the flesh and blood Of American craftsmen are a Distant memory. Sending the plants offshore Was not the only mistake. Skills that were once honed every day of the week have crumbled Into rust and obsolescence. We will regrettably find that the ability to make world-class products of everything will not reappear with a snap of the fingers. It starts with study skills and presentation skills. We have work to do. We have a national commitment to own up to. We will otherwise be whistling in the night as we go by the dustbin of history where forgotten Skills and tools go to sleep.
