I wasn't impressed by Matt Hoh for the first year or so, but maybe he has changed, or maybe I have changed. I am impressed with his analysis now, whatever has changed.
Kursk invasion has been a godsend for Russia: 1. Has worsened the casualty exchange ratio for Ukraine on the battlefield 2. Has given Russia the opportunity to continue their destruction of Ukraine without being blamed for refusal to negotiate: the blame is now on Ukraine and/or NATO.
Capt. Matthew Hoh explains geopolitics in a calm, rational and honest manner, while maintaining respect for all humanity. He does not demean or dehumanize people, even when pointing out their foolish and dangerous paths. We need him and similar voices for peace and the end of zero sum slaughter. He calms nerves during dangerous times, making us feel less alone. Thank you, and thanks Nima for your wonderful guests.
It's crazy that American Tax payers money goes to help Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel, Egypt and other countries and to pay the wages of the people working in the US government but is not going to help out the Americans own civilization that's pretty sad that the American people or at least a lot of them are OK with this going on.

As long as Americans will keep on entertaining the farce that is the bipartisan system with Democrats and Republicans, your tax dollars will never be used on you, unless it is to make you comply
@@andreskorge1828 The Russian and Chinese propaganda channels are working full force to spread disinformation and straight up lies to try to convince US population that somehow it’s best for us to retreat on the world stage and abandon our allies. It’s in our interest that allies and friends around the world are free and have a chance at a better life. China and Russia and maybe Some other shitty place don’t care peace and prosperity. They are rotten to the core. If you are genuine then this post is addressed with respect
Matt is a much-needed voice. His details, insights and perspectives are informed. The moral outrage which often bubbles to the surface reflects my sentiments --'disgust,' really -- regarding the indifference by which the DC Octopus governs ... more and more with a boot on the back of our collective necks. (... and heaven forbid you protest ...) Matt not only frames situations accurately, but he looks for solutions. Going in the face of #BizarroPsyopWorld™ and calling them out ... highest respect to Capt. Hoh -- and to you Nima: for being such a polite, patient, well-informed host.
economic decline will make the costs for this overseas ally in the M-E unsustainable ..... and the costs are rising ... this US colony is breaking up in the long run.... is this the strategy ? its working.....
Maybe at BRICS Saudi Arabia and Turkey could be convinced to cut off all trade with Israel, or at least stop the oil out of Turkey and close the land trade route through Saudi Arabia. That would make life quite a bit more difficult for Israel.
How does posting "Free Palestine" in this pathetic echo chamber accomplish anything? Try posting your indignation on one of the mainstream propaganda networks that is instrumental in enabling the Israeli monsters.
The Feds must have their work cut out for them analysing the comments here.... mainly supporting peace and liberty , the constitution... and civilized society
Best commentary I’ve heard for a longtime. I think Matt is right on the money. It seems obvious but he is the only commentator to articulate what the “axis of resistance “ Is up to. It seems to me it’s the only way to defeat these genocidal thugs. Michael Hannon
Matt Hoh is one of my favourite analysts, just such a beautiful human being. Always a pleasure to listen to with so much insight. Thanks Nima for this wonderful work and bringing us such great commentators. Yours is just the best channel as you have such humility, humanity, great questions and allow your guests to speak.
Thank you for your efforts Greetings to your guest Even though I agree with much of what he said But I totally see his confusion about Egypt 🇪🇬,the Egyptians and the Egyptian politics I’m Egyptian Native American nationalized Was born and raised In Egypt The one on the helm currently is what Egypt needed after Naser Thanks again, continue your good efforts Greetings to all your distinguished guests 👍
Capt. Hoh shines with his rational approach about the prevalence of Narrative OVER reality on policy planning. That explains everything you have to know about government's criminal behaviour.
If America wasn't such a hard pushing country for war they wouldn't have to spend so much Tax payers money on military equipment and personnel because they wouldn't need as much of that equipment or personnel and not as many military bases all they would have to do is mind their own business and stay out of everyone else's business in my opinion unless they were asked for help.
I always appreciate Matthews honesty and integrity, it saddens me that he has PTSD from his time in Iraq and Afghanistan. I wish all the best for this young man I saw a lot of that from my friends that came back from Vietnam when I was 16 17, 1819 years old .
“The Americans are a very lucky people. They're bordered to the north and south by weak neighbors, and to the east and west by fish.” - Otto von Bismarck
For the endgame goal of liberating the Levant from Israel and the West, objectively speaking, it makes sense for the Axis of Resistance to play this drag out long game of exhausting their enemies, rather than the extremely risky shock and awe pound for pound killing. The main drawback is the suffering of the non-fighting Palestinians in Gaza overall will be extended, unfortunately. As for Ukraine, got a feeling that both the Russians and NATO are hammering for a change of leadership in Ukraine in order for there to be a way out. A coup of some sort, or major resignation or any means of removal of the major Ukrainian figures. Despite rhetoric, everyone is now stuck, with the Russians continuing on in their own pace but the West bogged down by domestic and other foreign issues. Russia can eventually win, but if they can do it without losing many of their own fighters, they'll do it.
With global satellite imaging it would be very easy to verify if targets in Israel or anywhere else on earth where hit. Just task a satellite to image the site.
I don't believe Iran will not assassinate Bibi. They are too smart and strategic to do this. This for many reasons, and not at least it wouldn't change much on Israel 's behaviour. He would be replaced by maybe even someone more radical. In addition it would be too nice for him. This person deserves to sit in prison for the rest of his life.
Can you imagine if the American Tax payers money wasn't going to all these other countries just how rich or how well off the American Tax payers would be because all that American Tax payers money would be going back into their own country helping out with all kinds of different projects that would make their lives a lot better off in my opinion.
Don't forget US external debt is $ 35 trillion only interest on that amount to $ 1 trillion every 100 days America is using other people's money But luckily the creditors are waking up Last securities auction could not sell a single one on longer then 2 years terms
Matt Hoh understands that even one small group of humans can bring down the most powerful countries. Just be a constant thorn in the side of your oppressor and eventually, they will either come to some agreement with you or leave you alone. History is full of examples.
Can't really say no Vice President has a role in things given the evidence of even recent examples such as Cheney and Biden. Both were clearly exerting influence for their interests.
Great guest. Level headed and with good common sense instead of the usual yee haa war is inevitable. I like that he recognises that the way the west thinks isn't necessarily the way the people of Iran and Lebanon think. His insights on Ukraine were also interesting.
Capt Matthew. You’re paint a different picture and its interesting perspective of this war between Iran and Israel. Iran is playing a diplomatic in war and Israel will eventually self destruct itself.
It’s easy to google. The country whose flag they were flying under pulled their flag, noting the intended use of the ships to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza
The war of attrition in Palestine will drag on for 3-4 years by Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. Their aim is to hit Israel with sporadic drone and rockets to frighten the Israelis people with fear. Eventually a few million Israelis migrating to other countries, Meanwhile Israelis industries and agriculture are in tattered when workers leaving town and join the army. Fighting a war without a clear plan of winning is a disaster. Israel is a tiny country with small population, how long can it last just to depend on the US endless financial and military support. The US will not send troops to fight the Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran for Israel.
Even slowing of resources going in to a place which. Know The Place .. doesn’t happen anytime soon !! Surviving pressure, politics, dictates, such a timeline !! Again NOT in the next year.
How do u want anyone to fight Israel when Italy, Britan, Germany and France beside the USA defending even targeting any country trying to help Palestinians
Mathew Hoh is one of the best and most rational analysts on the show imo (along with Glen Diesen). The only part of Mathews’ analysis is disagree with is that “Israel controls the United States and is acting on religious superstition” when really Israel is just another Anglo-European proxy, just like the US itself
Hamas rockets appeared to be no more than fireworks, Hezbollah rockets are no more than Katyusha rockets. This is not enough to conquer Israel. Only thing that could force this apartheid state crumble is constant pressure and stress. I've watched a video in which a air defence siren started. A bus immediately stop. People got off from the buss and ran for a shelter. No reasonable man with resources would leave its family to live under such daily threat for years and decades to come.
I think Matt is right from the Axis point of view, but I think Israel will be the impatient one and force a major conflict. They know they have to make it happen to take out Iranian nuclear assets, so they will ultimately control the timeline.
PS All superb soldiers, captains and colonels in military went out or retired so EU will rise army of migrants this maybe Stoltenberg plan and Ursula VDL?
