Debates, discussions, lectures on world politics, with history in mind. Dedicated to the humane study of power, in which we recognize that there is and has been a balance of power in the world, but also a balance of ideas, and often revolutionary ideas.
Why Glasnost? Glasnost: noun In the former Soviet Union, the policy of opening debate on the history of the Russian revolution, initiated by Mikhail Gorbachev in 1985. Russians talked about history and made changes to build a democracy. Glasnost meant giving voice to a world historical consciousness. We think that this attempt did not go far enough under Gorbachev and that it still makes sense for the whole world. Your comments are welcome. Your host: Anthony D'Agostino Professor of History San Francisco State University
Graham E. Fuller hates America. He hates democracy. He hates freedom. He loves dictators like Putin, Xi Jinping, Victor Orban, the Ayatollah, Kim Jong Un, and Nicolas Maduro. The bottom line: he thinks the world would be a better place if the USA didn't exist. He's a self-hating American.
This didn't age well. Graham E. Fuller is an American but he hates everything America stands for. He even hates America so much he decided he could no longer stand to live in the USA so he moved to Canada. (I'm 100% serious. Google it.) He hates NATO and he is an apologist for Putin, Xi Jinping, and all the other despotic totalitarian dictators who rule with an iron fist. He wants Russia, China, and other evil tyrannical, murderous dictatorships to be stronger and the USA and NATO to be weaker. I think he is truly an evil man. He is the devil.
First of all I must say, that I am proud to be the 1st to comment. Okay, KR III. You have just blown my mind. I agree with you whole heartedly. PLEASE, I’m a 65 yo grandfather, please help make a future for my Bunnies There is a way & you see it K Roosevelt III in ‘28 👍👍👍
Democracy is mob rule. It is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner. It is an immoral modality of society that presupposes that forcing the will of an ostensible majority on a minority is acceptable. It is not. A man is not free in that he can choose a new master once in a term of years.
Labour before they were captured by the rich and the woke racists was strongly against the EU - back when they actually represented the working class. Anyone who believes the Brexit vote was nativist rather than economic is an ignorant fool and not worth listening to. You know they are very well off and so self absorbed they are blind to what is actually happening in Britain and cant think beyond what the propaganda papers tell them the reason for Brexit was, in short snappy sound bites to make them angry. Obviously, they ignore all the detailed research on what caused the Brexit vote, as that goes against the narrative. Dont bother with this video.
And don't tell me woke isn't a racist ideology - I am ex homeless and was denied support based on race. That is the definition of racism. The first question on the emergency support line in my town was "ethnicity?" - there was no second question, they replied to my answer that they could not help. I called back and pretended I was Iraqi and got offered a taxi to a hotel that night. Woke is the most dangerous and racist ideology since the 30s - it's so insidious precisely because it tricks the deeply ignorant, who believe they are deeply intelligent, that it is the exact opposite of what it is.
Weimar Republic world is upon us and an unpredictable flashpoint is somewhere in the fog. good listen, well not good, more depressing than history but excellent analysis.
Je me rappelle de monsieur James Sheehan ayant dit un jour qu’un historien ne commençait par le début mais par la fin; il semble que monsieur Sheehan ait oublié ce qu’il a dit lui-même. La question n’est pas tellemment sur le possible retour de l’Allemagne comme grande puissance, la question que monsieur d’Agostino a posé, mais plutôt, comment l’Allemagne en est-elle arrivé là oû elle est.
Hello I recently came across your RU-vid channel and was impressed by the quality of your content However, after conducting a comprehensive analysis. I noticed is room for improvement for your RU-vid channel for getting more visitors and subscribers ★ your thumbnail needs to be more eye - catchy ★ your video title, meta description needs to be improved ★ you need to use more irrelevant tags and keywords Kind Regards
Hello Professor I am not really sure how to get a comment about your appearance on the Sunday Show today on KPFA I call in quite a bit and think I have asked you a question or two over the years I was licked off Twitter for ramifications of asking a simple question to Zelensky's former press secretary That is why I did not simply Tweet you in regard to your temperance Kind of crazy how little response you are getting here I love analyzing arguments and had always hoped to find some small group of folks to analyze some of Phillips arguments on Ukraine , but if you cannot even get much response I am not holding my breath
excellent interview, this channel is a hidden gem, I learn a lot, can you please do another interview with Andrei Tsygankov, and maybe interview someone from inside Russia like Dmitry Suslov
Yes. It's a fascinating discussion indeed between two gentlemen who know China and Russia well and are prepared to see the world as they are impartially. Ironically, US has pushed both Russia and China together into a rather unlikely relationship. The current leadership in CCP or CPC is really not out to dominate the world in the way US (or collective West) has been in the last hundreds of years. Both the West sees China's rise in its own image. CPC leadership is focused on with its own domestic problems and repeatedly said it's prepared to work with the West for mutual benefits and to be a constructive and not destructive force. In fact, US can ride on China's economic rise as it has with the economic rise of Japan, S Korea, Taiwan and EU.
This vdo is like a jazz duet. [Huh? This is a political blog, fella] Ya know, like Joe Pass & Ray Brown. [Huh? Like, who exactly?] Okay, they play jazz stds, improvise, stretch out . . . [Sorry. still don't get you] They listen carefully to each other, leave some space, don't compete for flash, cover a lot of territory . . . [Oh, so then you like this blog?] Yes, nourishing. [Okay then, me too]
I will try to advise guests at the beginning of recording sessions to mute their devices; I did notice it, but was focused on other things during editing; thanks for the tip. - C. R. Anthony Hall, Technical Producer Glasnost IOT Podcast
