USA has invaded 50+ countries and the only country that has nuked 2 cities. An American is questioning others about human rights?!!! There should be a limit to shamelessness
@@MJB0110 Or worse yet, he ACTUALLY believes what he's saying is true and his country is in a position to do whatever they feel is best for them and then have it deemed righteous to the rest of the world regardless of what global opinion is about their reprehensible behavior.
I'm not an Arab but i lived in the Middle East half my life, i was a supporter of the German national team for 26 years.. but after what the Germans and their staff and media conducted themselves in this World Cup.. the disrespect the arrogancy the hostile comments.. i could never see myself supporting this team ever again.
@@cheeseit3678 well, as an Arab I wish innocent ppl there pass this winter safely. They don't deserve it because of their politicians mistakes. Meantime, I hope they make a stand against the self-interest of those high positions ppl.
The guest is delusional. He dismisses the invasion of Iraq as a "mistake" that isn't "fundamentally what the US is about." The latest war in Iraq ended up with hundreds of thousands of slain innocent civilians; it's incredibly audacious to dismiss that as a mistake and move on to claim the moral high ground.
Look what Madeleine Albright said about the more than a half a million children who died in Iraq after the U.S. invaded them in 1991. She said, "it was a price worth paying.": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1tihL1lMLL0.html
Yeah also Vietnam was invaded probably by the Russians. Thinking about, Latin America dictators and drug cartel rule was also driven by the Canadian government. So yes, I agree invading other countries with false pretenses is not fundamentally American.....
Nuking japan is a mistake carpet bombing and chemical spraying vietnam was a mistake destroying iraq killing about 4 million people between two wars and impssing an imbarco is a mistake over throwing the Taliban in afghanistan and ingaging in a 20 years guerrila war for the USA to withdraw and taliban return to power again is a mistake and still occupying about 1/3 of syria is a mistake But for qatar to offer jobs to poeple 10 times it own population who come on thier own will who sent important chunk of thier salaries to their famillies is patently and fondamently evil country
So according to the american guest ; if Fifa choose China or Russia or Qatar to host any event then it's politics But if Fifa choose a western contry or a country very close to the west then it's not politics Thats the double standards at its best
The owners of Qatar bought PSG and then the right to host a World Cup. After a lot of money, thousands of lives lost and several refereeing errors, the final of the tournament is decided between two selections whose main players "coincidentally" belong to... PSG. Five (5) stolen penalties for Argentina, almost all when the game was still tied (Saudi Arabia, Poland, Netherlands, Croatia and France). Lionel Messi, the FIFA protégé, scored 4 goals from penalties, all of them badly kicked, and 3 goals unmarked. When Neymar or Vini Jr. they start to dribble, then they are fouled. When the test-tube baby Messi starts scratching on the ball with his short legs, no one dares to touch the figurine. He put his hand on the ball, Maradona style, but did not receive a yellow card. He detracted from Weghorst and van Gaal, showing how false his reputation as "humble" is (they confuse a lack of personality with humility). Another coincidence: Modric was a tiger against Brazil and a little bunny against Argentina. He entered the field just to ask for an autograph. Humiliating. But then he returned to play well against Morocco. That cup felt like match wrestling. FIFA is as fake as WWE.
Funny, is it? When they do it, it's flawed, a mistake and not fundamental. They also make it seem it's something of the past. When they're currently still deploying military in and around almost 80% of the world.
Massoud Ozil, a German player, was playing in Arsenal club and he had many commercial contracts with large companies such as Adidas and was smashed when he tweeted about Chinese injustice to the Uighurs.
Thank you for calling that out. Hypocrites only care about a stupid armband and alcohol. But actual atrocities, that's where they draw the line. What a world we’re living in.

invading Iraq means killing thousands innocents Iraqis including children and women, and yet Bob called it as not fundamental human rights abused/ issues? Hypocrisy at its best.
@@jcbl62 who are you ? Are you related to any north Korean entity? You might disagree with them, but if you step foot in north Korea and you disobey the established law of the land, you alone will face the consequences. Are you saying that if I decide to scam other people based on my self imposed “survival of the fittest” mentality, I should not face any consequences?
Oh I love how Bob is presenting the US, the UK, and Canada as the only nations who are trying to improve their human rights laws and give no chance to merely a small country like Qatar which has hosted one of the best world cups so far and has addressed the issues related. Hypocrisy at its best
@@mrlool1991 no need for reforms. The west does not decide what is morally correct for the whole world. Qatar is still a much better place than America to raise a family, not to be a degenerate but a decent human being.
Bob said: "We, the white Western country, addressed all the human rights problems, but we're okay because we addressed them." Seriously! As well as hypotheses and double standards I would like to know what fundamental right Qatar breached? Qatar: Free education, free healthcare, and one of the world's highest GDPs What are you talking about BOB !!
@@densonjc Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria. Under Obama, he normalised drown strikes. I don't know about you, if my country getting bombed, it is basically a war, wether it is declared or not. Under Obama, he was actively bombing Pakistan, Somalia and other parts African nations. A very powerful story how a grandma picking up vegetable on her yard was blown to pieces in front of her grandchildren. In Pakistan, children were afraid to play outside if the sky were clear. Oh yeah, not to mention, the US was also took part and actively bombing during Yugoslavia war. That's why a lot of Serbians hate the US. In Laos and Combodia, the US dropped so many bombs that they are still there. The late Anthony Bourdain once said, he would punch Henry Kissinger for making the lives of people in these parts of the world misreable.
He forgot to mention the Iraq war , if the USA football team made a stand then we can truly believe even USA lecture other nations about making z stand on human rights
Propaganda Bob, obsessed with putins russia and the other buzz word iran, how about the fact that your own president has categorically registered all MAGA republicans (most trump voters) as extremists. So you've a country with millions of extremists. During the world cup alone there was a mass gay shooting in USA killing more gays than probably the middle east have in the past decade. USA is close to allowing 5 year olds babies to go in for horrific gender transformation surgery even if their parents refuse. In the USA you have the democrats working with their secret police (FBI) actively arresting and silencing as many trump associates and republican voices as they can (worse than Putins russia) Thousands more atrocities centered around the USA USA is a dicatorship - the world cup shouldn't be going there
Isn't USA more messed up in degrees? More illiteracy, lack of rights (laws exist but are not really in action), police violence, and violence in general. Qatar is by a large margin more peaceful than the USA. They got low crime rates, violent incidents, lower depression, and so forth. When I compare the two, Qatar is nearer to perfection. If reducing some rights by law leads to the majority being happier and safer, is that not worth it? Compared to the sheer damage full freedom causes in the USA? Riots being so prevalent and all? Or is the news in media all biased and false?
Embarrassing interview by Bob. Some valid points regarding Qatars HR shortcomings but the aura of superiority is suffocating. Let’s not forget the millions more HR violations by the USA in their wars, invasions and illegal occupations. In terms of domestically their crime rate is through the roof, police and prison systems are in desperate need for reform, drugs and military grade weapons rule the streets, school shooting are a normal occurrence, there is a mental Heath and suicide crisis and family values are non existent in many parts of the country. Putting parents in care homes is normal and are treated as burdens by many but God forbid a child can’t identify as a dog or go through an irreversible sex change. The USA of all countries have done nothing but spread corruption through the world in all levels of society. Pointing out these shortcomings is important but the incredible hypocrisy is mind boggling.
Since Andrew Tate 1st interview, Piers leveled up hugely these past few interviews, giving guests time, asking Accurate and comprehensive questions,well done.
I just think you lot only took notice once Tate was on, this has been a great platform for over a year now, regardless of what people personally think of Piers
@@user-rp2xo1me4u i could understand why people think otherwise tho. there's been quite a lot of interviews where piers doesn't allow the others to finish their sentence as well as spewing inaccurate information

Mr. Costas, isn’t Guantanamo Bay a “definitive” violation of human rights? Isn’t the imprisonment of an individual without a trial the ultimate human rights violation? Is the USA’s unrelenting support to Israel, a country that is continuously breaking every human rights record in the book, even when the Palestinians go to international courts of law a representation of your country’s “DNA”? And the fact that you called the invasion of Iraq, a country where millions of its citizens have died and it’s repercussions are felt in the region to this day over 20 years later, as just a “mistake” is appalling. The list goes on and on. Honestly, sometimes I feel like they are intentionally blinding themselves to their own reality… But they feel like they have the right to lecture us. I would have respected him more if he just said what he really wanted to say, and it’s that the West doesn’t want an Arab, Muslim country to host the biggest sporting event in the world. Because they can’t stand the fact that a country like Qatar can actually do it and do it well.
Bob talks about the ‘degree’ in which countries perform atrocities. So in his eyes, China, Russia and Qatar have performed atrocities to a higher degree? Sounds fair coming from an American. I would argue America historically is one of the worst nations in the world, along with Britain (I’m British). The amount of innocent lives taken from these two countries outweigh any other nation in the world. They sit on their high horses talking about morality when they’ve committed more violations than anyone else. No country is perfect. Qatar themselves have admitted they need to improve with conditions of migrant workers. They haven’t beaten around the bush and have displayed more inclusivity than many nations. I’d much rather live in a country like Qatar than the USA, where I could leave my car running on the road without a worry in the world, or I could leave my wife and daughter to travel alone without worrying about them being attacked. It’s ironic how the west attack Arabian countries on women’s rights, where in these countries, the women are safer and are less objectified. The fight against Qatar is against one thing only - the fact that it’s an Islamic country. It’s Islamic values that gives Qatar its positive values. Open your own mind and look into the teachings of Islam and how it gives rights and freedom to ALL. Also, China and Russia are by no means ideal but why does the west attack them? Because they’re a political and economic threat. There’s a pattern here. Western countries attack any country that’s a threat (in any way) to them. Typical bully, coward behaviour. Don’t believe what these crooks tell you. Use your own intellect and see for yourself.

In Qatar, government projects are awarded to big contractors - mostly managed by foreigners. They hire workers from overseas through agencies in south East Asian countries. The agency takes fees from the companies/contractors. As a result Contractors expect the workers to not work elsewhere once the workers arrive in Qatar. The government cannot control every single recruitment happening in the private sector - which is run by foreigners themselves. For decades, workers have been coming to Qatar from south east Asia willingly (nobody forces them on planes). The workers know that conditions in their countries (and in Europe) are worse than in Qatar.
It's not just qatar. What about Dubai? And other middle east countries? Yet no celebrity stops themselves from arriving at Dubai and performing in concerts and shows. Hypocrites!!
That what I'm saying.. I'm sudanese and the contracts to work in Saudi Arabia and UAE are ruined by sudanese agencies not Saudi government.. If Saudis are willing to pay 3k dollars the private agencies will tell them "don't bother. We can find you someone that can work for 1.5k"
Honestly speaking, had Morgan not been a groupie for this guy, he would have embarrassed him with easy counters to such ridiculous claims. The USA invasion of Iraq is a "mistake" and that's not what they are about? I have heard it all now
1) Demolition of countries 🇱🇾 &🇮🇶 🇦🇫 is not fundamental . 2) Opened discrimination against the black minority if not fundamental 3) Gun violence is killing life but not fundamental. It is fundamental when he call it fundamental .see he is the law. The western people never afraid to embarrassing themselves on live television. I didn't know you were so low.
Will African fans get visa to cheer for their countries as the Qatari issued them? I'm my opinion, this is the best world cup ever. May Allah bless the Qatari's.
i salute the leaders of Qatar. its something that forbid on their religion, their beliefs. and if they allow those "forbidden things" to be consumed by their people, on their house, it will be to much responsibility to answer to their creator, their god, on their people behalf. no one could take those sins and being safe on the judgment day, its unforgivable.
Bruh you can’t be the one who decides which countries violate human rights and to what degrees. Qatar has their own ethics and conduct and for them to ask visitors to honour that isn’t violation of human rights. At least have a neutral way to approach the issues. You can’t just go ahead with a western pov to manage non western problems
I am german and i (and most of germans)agree with you💯.this new green government are annoying us with moral moral moral!they kind of forced the Mannschaft.and if you supporting by watching this you are not a good moral human.this government sucks in every single topic…i m glad GB decided the brexit
Fundamentally "Bob" let's talk about Vietnam Bob. How bout Iraq Bob or how about Afghanistan Bob. Shall we talk about the assassination attempts in Latin America Bob or the fact that USA has 25 percent of the world's prisoners so that modern day slavery continues and let's not get into how the USA assisted in the trafficking of narcotics to its own country and pumped the ghettos full of crack Bob.
Lets change the name of the tournament from FIFA World Cup to FIFA Western Cup so the tournament will always be placed where politics suit these people.
Umm...The US,FRANCE are not currently violating human rights in smaller countries is just laughable and asserts the fact that Europeans and Americans citizens have no clue whatsoever what their government are doing in African and other smaller countries.take a lesson about what France is currently doing in their colonies,toppling government,killing people because of resources ,control and power.
@@samizakariya5155 exactly the Sahel region,Cameroon,Mauritius. And these guys just I don’t know if intentionally ignore these or like I said due ignorance and blame Qatar 🇶🇦
Lol, did this guy say " It's within our DNA (USA, UK, Canada) to address human rights issues" ??? How is aiding and supporting colonial settlers in Palestine helping humans rights? how is banning Women from wearing a hijab in France or Denmark and many other places because of the Islamic beliefs protects human rights equally and consistently? If we wanna talk about "degrees" of human rights violations, I think we should definitely start with the USA and move our way down, because that's where most wars were perpetrated.
I had a lot of respect for Bob Costas, but he lost all respect in my eyes. I cannot believe the entire western world is hammering Qatar who is a tiny nation and could never be able to finish a project without migrant workers. Way more people are getting killed by guns incomprehensibly in America than ever a single worker in Qatar.
If the western countries can do business with middle east countries, if the western country leaders shake hand with middle east country leaders, if the western share so many things with middle east, why can't we play football over there?
I must I’m sensing a change in Pierce, and good for him too….his guest could probably benefit from a hit or history of what his beloved country did (Japan, Iraq, Afghanistan, just to name a few and is still doing….perhaps keep your ‘high morals’ to yourselves and let others be. Qatar did a phenomenal job and most definitely hosted the best World Cup ever. Well done Qatar 👏🏾
The question should be asked is, who gets to decide which rights are "human rights"? As it stands right now. The West is the one deciding human rights. In other words, the current human rights stipulations reflect Western values. Really, it is a form of Western ideological imperialism to force those "human rights" onto other nations. The guest ignores the fact that the US and Briton invaded multiple countries and killed over 3 million people and destroyed entrei countries. That is not a human rights issue in his eyes. However, Russia invading Ukraine is. Nice nice
Equality is not LGBTQ+, and the middleastern people are not hypocrites, we will not promote these acts on our streets, we protect the community first before the self interest of individuals sexuality, individuals if they are LGBTQ then they should keep it behind closed doors, the community doesn't want to see it also the same for heterosexual acts. In tbe middleast we have shame we don't have pride we don't go out exposing our sexuality to others. And this how we respect one another.
Bob Acosta, you are dead wrong about your clarifications of Qatar, China, and Russia...etc. to decide whether they can host international sports events or not. Simple because you would have to use the same standards for all countrand if you do si then no country would be eligible to host any events starting with Europe and the whole hemmesfer unless you use the double standard that Europe and America usually use.
I have to disagree on the degree of mistreatments that Bob made. USA invaded Iraq, Afghanistan etc. is he saying that’s lesser degree in human rights issues?? Double standards
Not bad. If only politicians could do this... challenge and answer - and address the question. Even if you agree, disagree, there's dialogue and an attempt to understand. Just don't have much of that anymore.
Message to Bob Costas, your own US of A is one of the biggest violators of Human Rights, but I credit the USMT in staying away from virtue signalling and focusing on the football.
Most persons would kill to live in the middle east. It has wealth, culture, spirituality, respect, functional society, very functional and a rule of law, something which is seriously lacking in the West. The people there right now are reinventing themselves spiritually, humanly and as people. I would not be surprised if they get separation anxiety after the world cup is over. Qatar has changed the perception of international football. It has been proven that football isn't just for British drunk hooligans, it is also for everyone else; families, women and children. When communtiy rights are on par with personal rights, the society becomes functional and reciprocal. Everyone enjoys together. Whereas in the West, particuarly in England, there is just no manners nor any class at all from fans. They think they can do whatever the hell they want no matter who they disrespect and before you know it, you get a Wembley-hosted euro's final footage or the welsh v english footage of hooliganism which went viral recently. Embarrassing, do you think that is what football is about? Disgusting.
His double standard is screaming... What is fundamentally just if you preach justice but you are practicing injustice? What is fundamentally a human right defender when you selectively choose which one you want to champion and ignore others human right abuses even though they are more severe. The human right violated by the countries you claim are fundamentally pro-human right are far more that any human right violations Qatar might have committed or for that matter will ever commit... Enough of hypocrisy enough of insulting people intelligence
What about not allowing abortion in some US states? And what about the implicit racism against black Americans? Don't give people lessons in morals when you're missing out. An example of this is what happened in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, who pushed Ukraine to non-recognition of the Mnisk 1 & 2 agreement through Zilansk puppets?
This is a great discussion. Very legitimate and great points from both sides. These are the kind of talks or debates (whatever you want to call them) that not only entertains, but one can learn so much from whichever side you are on.
Why not Bob decides not only who hosts the competition!! You can decide who should participate based on your biased judgement. I am from Bangladesh and I know well who employed so many persons and help families to survive. We know well which countries making life miserable by giving conditions on economic development of those developing countries. Pls get the real from the ground.
The West has no problem having politics in sports when politics perpetuates western propaganda. However, when the politics are not supporting a Western cause, that is when the "keep politics out of sports" excuse is brought up. For example, not allowing players and teams to show support for Palestine in the Euros. But, they allowed support for LGBT and Ukraine.
The double standards this ‘Bob’ individual is exhibiting is crazy. When it comes to the USA: gun control issues, women’s rights being violated, lack of cultural awareness (beyond their own cultures), RACISM, school shootings, and not to forget that it wasn’t only Iraq the USA invaded. The United States has invaded or fought in 84 of the 193 countries recognized by the United Nations. And this is without recalling how many died because of their invasions, because that number is too big to be stated. Meanwhile, the amount of migrant worker deaths that occurred in Qatar in preparation for the World Cup was overestimated just to make Qatar look bad, there were little to no work-related deaths in the creation of the stadiums (as there would be in any major construction sites). This is not to desensitise worker’s health and safety, but Qatar has improved their standards by the minute since then. And they don’t support LGBTQ rights because it is against their religion. And suddenly Qatar is the one that is violating more human rights than the USA? This interview was incredibly hypocritical and just showed us how incredibly shallow some people from the west can be. They tell us not to involve politics in sport events when Palestinians were raising Palestinian flags during matches to show their stance against Israel who is illegally occupying land, but then they bring politics when the sport events are held in the Middle East and it’s suddenly okay. They didn’t show solidarity for the Palestinians in sport events because ‘we don’t mix sports with politics’, but then they showed their solidarity with Ukraine. There is always double standards against Middle Easterns and it’s just sickening at this point.
People they cant go watch a world cup in a country where we can carry guns because every where in the world u cant do it so i think giving the world cup to usa was a mistake
