Ukrainian soldiers are not being paid? How is this possible . My country is given g 620 million while we can’t feed our kids

Barnier gets in, France is under Brussels thumb. He's a discount Mario Draghi.

Macron is clearly not a leader yet he thinks so high of himself...

❤😊THANK YOU FOR WEARING THE DURAN SHIRTS.

Alexander, which bridge are you selling? How about a trade for a pipeline? Or a dam on the Dnieper?

Barnier hopes to pacify the natives by making the right noises but his devotion to implementing the Coudenhove Kalergi Plan is absolute.

Good discussion of the calculation of how political elites think and act. The framework of this discussion of the EU could apply in much the same way to the USA. A country of 50 petty states plus DC already breaking apart at the economic and social seams, like the EU, like the USSR, like the Roman Empire, etc. etc.

Good morning to you both and thank you. Praying fir Patric Lancaster as he is in a dangerous situation . I pray fir all of the precious animals in the would and I pray that God will protect those that love him.I want to live my life, contribute to society and care fir my family but the tyrants need more $$$ so I guess I can’t have these things.

The whole appointment thing has been a show, a circus number. Right from scratch, about 3-4 months prior to the disbanding of the Parliament, Barnier's appointment was in the pipeline, on top of the list. It was so obvious : Macron's decision to disband the Parliament may have looked whimsical. But it was not. He knew what he was doing back then. Thing is, Macron is already very unpopular. He needed to keep the upper hand. So he needed to have someone totally pro EU, pro WEF, a confirmed globalist like Barnier, to lead the government. Someone that won't be shaking when facing the volatile situation that will arise with the austerity measures next year - don't forget that France will be given the Greek potion of memoranda and the like...

Most citizens of the USSR wanted to keep it going. It failed as Gorb and Yeltzin sold out to capitalism. Ordinary people paid the price.

I thought his introduction here was pretty funny.

I really hope Le Pen doesn't fall for it.

Alex brothers are our tribe

The French are out in the streets protesting against Barnier. Didn't take long..😂😂😂

This tactical appointment announces the near resignation of Macron. His job with the EU completed, he withdraws before the crisis explodes in France.

What a kick in the teeth for every French voter!😮

Bonjour a vous deux ! Encore une analyse de votre part qui est plus pertinente que celles de la majorité de nos journalistes de cour français !! Une honnêteté qui fait plaisir à entendre !! Merci mille fois de France !!🙏🙏

Instead of arming Ukraine; EU tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education etc.

Best geopolitical channel on RU-vid!

A 73 years old professionnal politician to run the Macron's "start up nation". 🤔😂😂 From 🇨🇵

Why would anyone want to be a captain of the Titanic? French problems can't be fixed through voting. Getting new doctor for a terminally ill patient will never work.

Its hilarious if any French person believed enabling the establishment stitch up with their vote was going to bring anything other than a continuation of the establishment.

Hope on your next show will discuss the papers putting out a joint statement from MI6 and CIA about the threat that China and Russia is to the World Order.!! And they are all going big time on this crap in the USA!!

So no change for the french same old school politicians that Europe despises.

Michel Barnier was present in the Irish Parliament in 2017 making sure Ireland was with the agenda and our Prime Minister at the time Michael Martin made a speech stating “let there be no doubt where Ireland stands, we want nothing to do with a backward looking idea of sovernity, we remain absolutely committed to the ideals of the European Union”?

Praying for Patric Lancaster !

It looks to me that Barnier and Le Pen allready have a deal and RN will vote for him.

Because he could not name Úrsula, but there is not a big difference 😂

I remember a little scandal cooked up by the media regarding the AfD in Germany and Le Pen working together in the EU parliament. It happened as follows: 1. An Interview was made with Maximilian Krah (you guys have interviewed him) shortly before the EU elections this summer, where 'they' twisted his words and meaning as if he said that he has no reason to condemn atrocities made by Waffen SS soldiers during WW2 (he said smt completely different if u actually read his words, he was very specific even) 2. Then the article was published and it immediately followed that Le Pen's party would not want to collaborate with the AfD because of that article that was published, and the media could echo the rumour Mr. Krah said smt unacceptable. The AfD was then pushed out from the "ID-Group" (collection of many right wing European parties) due to this reason. 3. There was inside the AfD turmoil because of this and it was then decided that M. Krah would not run a seat in the EU parliament due to a media debacle and someone else more "moderate" would run instead (you could say someone who conforms to external pressure). This however was a trap and the 'ID-Group' said no collaboration would occur despite the absence of Krah. It was clear from that moment that the issue was not the media "scandal" but the fact that Le Pen was willing to play along with "EU game rules" in order to maintain the political position she has build up and that she does not want to give up. To be fair to her, she probably knows that she doesn't hold much of a chance if the MSM could pump out stories that would also discredit her reputation (or like Ursula said, "we have tools"). So in conclusion, Le Pen is much more willing to play "along" with the establishment than the AfD. Just a little reminder to those that care of Europe's future. More public pressure needs to come and the opposition should not budge any inch when it comes to the decision and will of the sovereign, the people of Europe

Thanks for your hard work gents. Appreciate the high-quality analysis.

" plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose ". Exactly. C'est le " changement dans la continuité" sous réserve que la crise soit contenue suffisamment afin d'éviter le chaos.

For our french colleagues, there is an interview with Emmanuel Todd: "Emmanuel Todd : «La Russie gagne la guerre et l’Europe implose" by the "Le Figaro"

Veuillez présenter tous les faits qui ont façonné la géopolitique de chaque pays européen face à l'indifférence des divers organes de contrôle. Les Français se sentent bloqués, et même les Britanniques sont conscients du virage à droite opéré par le gouvernement français, sous l'influence d'une poignée d'élites européennes en proie à des hallucinations et surtout la désillusion que la macronie a infligée à l'économie française par son démantèlement au profit des fonds privés américains.

Macron doesn't learn!!

Impressed by Alex M. understanding of french politics. Barnier is the good cop of the globalists. Just as evil, but much more polite. He also pays attention to maintaining a semblance of coherence in his lies. And by the way, the correct statement is "Plus ça change, plus c'est pareil".

RUSSIA CONTINUES TO DOMINATE.❤😊

Ladies and gentlemen here you have a perfect manipulated French casino 🎰democracy. Good weekend TheDuran❤

Thank you gentlemen. Good day to you both.

Please translate your french sayings. Thank you.

On a side note: The t and the s in (Lucie) Castets are silent. Correct pronunciation: Lucie Casté.

Good day to you both...

❤😊THANK YOU FOR YOUR EARLY NEWS AND UPDATES.

Outwitting Boris would not be difficult. I had a dog that could done that with ease!

That’s what they call «democracy» ! Micron did not choose . Van der La Hyène told him to pick Barnier. It’s a long Time we have lost our sovereignty

❤😊MAKE PEACE NOT WAR.

Merci

❤😊THANK YOU FOR A FANTASTIC SHOW AND A GREAT VIDEO.

French democracy lol

Here in France all we see is chaos for years

Excellent The Duran. As always.

First

Problem of Castets is that she's a member of the unlimited deficits school of economics.

our small business in the US once had about 80% of our sales when europe and australia, but they started demanding we collect their taxes and stuff for them and what elements we have to include on our websites and stuff, and that 1) made the time/labor investment too great to cover margins and 2) felt like an act of war against our american sovereignty -- we are disappointed with the american uniparty for not standing up and defending us as is their number one responsibility, but we're standing up for ourselves and just saying no to europe and australia. Funny thing is other than outrageous shipping costs we don't face these kinds of problems doing business in asia and the main cost of business in the middle east, south america, and africa is simply getting adequate shipping insurance (lots and lots of packages disappear/tampered)...while these are obstacles they're reasonable and don't require us to bend over backwards to an unlimited degree to political nonsense being imposed upon us with actual threats.

😂😊MANY THANKS FOR YOUR PRESENCE HERE WITH US RAIN OR SHINE.

Too many off-topic comments. Do people listen or not?

❤😮UKRAINE IS COLLAPSING.

'We want nothing to do with a backward-looking idea of sovereignty.' These words were spoken by Micheal Martin, then leader of the opposition, on the 11th May 2017, to brown-nose Barnier when he graced the Irish Parliament for political points-scoring against the Brits.

❤😊STOP POKING THE BEAR.

Dysfunctional, backward etc. You forgot to mention demographically replaced.

Macron may have just outsmarted himself 🤔 thanks for your insight guys 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

The Duran the maestro’s in charge of the university of knowledge and wisdom, Russia is victorious over Nato, over Nazism, Russia is winning holding the golden chalice of triumphalism soon.

Hey, I promise I will change. Where's my suitcase full of euro's.

Considering deindustrialization, terrible policies regarding climate change and "going green", poor leadership at the higher EU levels, demilitarization, massive migration issues, and the outsourcing of both internal and external decision making, what is the EU's plan going forward?

EU is collapsing .. just pushed over the cliff by the USA and EU is fully responsible.. Computers : 0 Mobile and smartphones : 0 Software : 0 Platforms : O IA : 0 ... Only Airbus is doing well

if anything proves western democracy is a joke ,this does.

BRICS

Falling out of EU was very bad for UK which has some residue of international standing and connections. EU falling apart would be total and absolute disaster for small EU countries, especially in Eastern Europe, especially when tit-for-tat trade restrictions would kicked in. And Russia would just shrug on those remaining in NATO, even if NATO woulsd be hardly any protection from wars with neghbours.

Have a look t the history ofEurope in 1848. History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes

I've asked a lot of young French if they say 'plus ca change...' in France, they look perfectly baffled and deny any familiarity with the expression

Mister Mercouris I don't know where you get your infos from, Le Pen didn't win the most deputies in the Assembly, the Front Populaire did. Le Front Populaire got 193 seats, 30 more than Macron's and 50 more than Le Pen, so they have only a relative majority but still a majority, and the tradition in France in this case, is that the parti with the most deputies chooses the Prime Minister and he then chooses the rest of the government! Macron chose his prime minister with permisssion from Le Pen forming a pact with her, as Macron is minor in the Assembly and if Le Pen sanctionned macron's PM he wouldn't be able to stay PM!

Alexander, that shirt looks good on you!

Global-Facisme is the correct name for the vestern ideologi.

Thank you Alex and Alexander 👍🇮🇹🇬🇧

Excellent and sobering…

I fear the post-EU collapse conditions will be ripe for the rise of another Austrian corporal.

Excellent discussion and analysis.

Yes he is. But he is a gentleman who can speak and listen to everyone. I remeber him when he was minister. He was the only one to receive people from the National Front of Jean-Marie LE PEN. I am curious to see his policies in our immigration problems.

At least he's TALL.

Thank you Alex and Alexander watching you from South Africa 🇿🇦

❤😊THE DURAN ARE SIMPLY THE BEST.

Macron needs to go. The sooner, the better.

👍💕

Big mistake.

Did you see the leaked video of him talking about Ireland ??

This *SHOULD* be the beginning of the end of the 5th Republic. Good riddance. France should be a federation with its regions as states, not a unitary republic. Also the French Parliament's Lower House should be reformed to a German style MMP system, and the Head of State should become benign like the German Head of State, and perhaps collegial and appointed by a joint sitting of Parliament (ie like the Swiss).

What you are going to see is stagflationary depression as result of hyper-inflation, and this applies to America as well as Europe. America's debt ratio to GDP is currently at 123.8%. This is unsustainable. Once BRICS launches its payment system, possibly its own currency backed by gold, and particularly its own commodities market, de-dollarization will be fully underway.

He trying to change something looks like he trying to escape because Macron is rotchield

Thank you Alex and Alexander

At the 14': 45", the meaning of 'plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose' = the more that changes, the more it's the same thing : the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose ... In Italy we call this "Gattopardismo" ... 😂 I personally bet the trigger of the EU's undoing will be economic ... and since I bet it's going to take place by 2032, it's probably going to be painful.

❤😮UKRAINE IS RUNNING OUT OF MEN AND WEAPONS.

Maybe the French should vote in the American election to decide who their new emperor will be.

❤😊WE ARE LIVING IN DANGEROUS TIMES. TAKE CARE.

❤😊GOOD DAY GENTLEMEN AND FRIENDS.

The man who . . . WILL NEVER go against the WEF, and will NEVER roll back the pension cut. Poison pill for Marine Le Pen, yet she is actually going to swallow it. One must laugh. Alexander: exactly right again. One of his best.
