NATO Expands Into Africa As US Bullies the Continent Over Ukraine, w/ Vijay Prashad 

That's an excellent point

And before that it was the Arabs and Turks and before that the Mongols and before that the Romans and Egypt. But never forget one thing. They were bought not caught the catching was done by one's own blood.

@@gerardvandenberg9308 I stand with Arabs, Turks, Asia and Russia

@@gerardvandenberg9308 While historically correct, the scale of European colonization blows out all proportions and metrics. Romans, Turks & Arabs reach was limited to North Africa. North Africa is not the entirety of Africa. Recheck your history facts and have a fairer comparison unless you are subtly implying that Africans deserve having their entire continent subjugated by Europeans because of... "insert your exceptional-ism reason here"

Why do Africans never complain about slavery between tribes although it has been going on for even longer. Why the selective memory ?

And they walked free..feeling they've been a hero and patron of democracy.

What Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama did to Libya when they banned Gaddafi's planes from flying and then signaled to a waiting al qaeda to invade and death and destruction of maybe a million people followed, it does make me cry with the amount of people they sacrificed to enhance American interest as they perceived it.

Unfortunately they have no clue of who brought them here. They are a god unto themselves. This is the reason they feel they can control everything under the sun lol!

Well, it's pay back time. And America is in deep Sh#t, no one is coming to save her. And I'm not upset about it not at all, the way this nation have and still do mistreat and murder our people daily. Pay back in coming!. HALLELUYAH!

That’s GENOCIDE but UK & USA are the once committing the genocide where ever they go!!! I know about the “Panther” rising in Africa as it’s prophesied in the Bible.

The French are the most hated of euros, in Africa

It’s not America ..America is being run by the committee of 300 ..

Another good one is prof Tharoor.

I think the tension creed NY china and India regarding borders is created by westerns , these nations should discuss not hate eachother , specially indians hating on china , wasn't they colonised for 400+ years by west , ? Stop being used by their propaganda

India is not independent country,that’s how Indian have been through history,they’re very good people but they were under British for so long and still are not a completely independent country and I don’t want to go to the details,But they could raise up and make political decision for herself and her people benefit and her neighbors.

It's good to see the Indian nation stand up against western imperialism and have a government that looks after its population interest instead of USA's.

Bravo

Regime change is old fashioned now, the US has moved to regime destruction. They could not destroy the Afghan Taliban government because Afghanistan was one of the poorest countries in the world and there wasn't very much for them to bomb, Taliban was popular among the impoverished majority without electricity or running water, where people sought meaning in life from devout faith, it was not a secular country and the corrupt US puppet governments could not take hold. Ideally societies with evolve their own governments without violent foreign involvement. I think the US rushed into Afghanistan so fast when they did because the Taliban was getting worldwide recognition for virtually stopping opium production and sales, that opium was very valuable to the US in its need for off the books funding for corrupting selected elites all over the worldl, you either kill them or buy them but bank money leaves a trail. Taliban leadership of Afgans farmers out of the opium business, although costing them the lucrative payoffs of supplying the world with opium and heroin, involved appeal to religious morality, nationalistic appeal to an Afghan independence of corrupt foreign domination, and bottom line, if they continued growing opium and processing it for market, they would go to jail. Foreign observers came to see for themselves the news that Taliban over the course of a year had led the country to convert to cultivating wheat and other legal wholesome crops and was no longer cultivating opium and manufacturing heroin. Positive things were said about the Afgans and their leadership. i think this is what spooked the US to rush into a very violent war with all their disinformative "reasons" to do such violence to one of the poorest neediest countries in the world. The main constituency of the US is their own public. As long as their public believes their fake self righteous narratives about their wars, it doesn't matter what other countries think and feel about it, they'll come along sooner or later, in the "unipolar" world. But my point is that countries ideally should create and support their own governnents. The religious fundamentalist morally strict Taliban is correct for a country where the majority of the population has minimal modern technology and education and finds their comfort in family, hard work and worship of their God, and a government that makes sense in that context. Without the massive military intervenntion and destructive violence of the United States, Afghanistan would probably be a stable country today that has made some progress toward technoloigcal advance and more economic independence. US slowed them down as it's done in nrorth Africa and in Iraq, a once beautiful country making progress in development, many people favored their government, there's no way to know accurate numbers, but those who spoke out when the US was bearing down on their governmnt to destroy the beauty and modernity and stability, those who did not want the Ba'athist wanted, they got. They own the Green Zone, the most valuable real estate in Baghdad, where Iraqi leaders had lived before, on the Euphrates, those 4 square miles are US property now. Where Iraqi rulers used to live, now Americans live, that is US territory, not Iraqi territory. The US stole it from the Iraqis and the geostrategic ramifications of US owning the Green Zone are diverse and frigtening. The US is making the world more and more unsafe with every action it takes. Good luck to Africa to not have any more Libyan tragedies. There is deadly flooding in Libya today, predicted 55,000 dead. i can't help thinking if Gaddafi was still there, it woiuld have gone better, without all the years of chaos and carnage the US has brought to them. Today, Syria has gone to the international organization for support in demanding US military withdraw from their country. US have begun to withdraw, seems too good to be true, but so far, the Syrian government has been a survivor and has not fallen as intended, remember the Obama admiistratiom that began the destruction of the Libyans' country, they also recruited and funded the '"Free Syrian Army" with their blood money, they probably had some of the Libyans' gold to pay for this new "regime", and i won't forget how chilling it was when the Obama administrtion marched their little fake "legitimate recognized govdrnment of Syria" into the UN, to present them to take the seat of the Syrian representative, this was the new approach to "regime change" but it didn't work, there was a lot of ambivalance, Obama had campaigned on the violent US take over of Iraqi, and now they would just declare a different faction to be the 'real' government of Syria, on the authority of the US, but it didn't work, and Russia intervened in later 2015 militarily in support of Syria not ending up as another Libya, destroyed, when they still had their real government, the same one the majority of their country had supported for a long time, and regime change type 2 didn't work either. Since then they go for regime destruction and all that invovles. It's good for their private sector interests and for their global military dominance and is harmful far beyond the destroyed country in so msny ways.

Yes but no they can’t do it by themselves, otherwise they would have done it by now. Belt and Road and BRICS is a great partner and economic power to join, this “New Fair World Order.” It will also slow down the bullying and undermining to be exerted by the West at every turn.

They don't want Africa to progress, the imperialist wants Africa to stay in poverty, and loot all their resources.

@Edwin Tan People helping themselves, help themselves. Period.

Not when 45% of 14 countries, “ex-French colonies” have 45% of their national savings in France and under France control! The entire continent is still controlled by “ex-colonial powers” including US. No continent is pillaged and still monitored for economic gains as Africa. Let’s stop blaming the victim here if we choose not to be hypocrites!

Everybody taking resources out of Africa and trying to slave the ppl in Africa

what about the genocide of muslims in yugoslavia by the serbians?

US incites trouble then stands by shaking their fingers at others for the trouble.

The problem with that statement is you can embrace unity with the people of Africa, but there won’t be unity with your own government who are mostly bought out by the west or China who the military will do the dirty work to punish you guys without NATO or China sending their own troops in Africa. You both will fight amongst themselves so vote for people who are for the people and won’t be bought out.

From Angola, Benguela.... VIVA the INDISPUTABLE greatest WARRIORS in mother Africa history; Agostinho Neto ; Angolan MPLA-FAPLA and GREEN Libya of Muammar Gaddafi.

Pretty sure it’s not just the imperialism, but we’llll seeee.

Ndeipi Zuze. Very well articulated. Your knowledge of Southern Africa is impeccable. We as Zimbabweans have been under attack since 2001 by Western nations for no reason apart from owning our resources😡😡

I'm a south African & your 100% correct

The West is a pathological and habitual liar!

Kick out the USA and all of the control of Africa from the tyrannical rule of the European Colonials. China builds through economic prosperity, while USA and European countries uses tyranical control of all the resources and create social-economic-political chaos *regime change* in the AFRICAN continent, as they did to LIBYA.

Still stands true? When has it not been true?

Yes, the US lies to their people all the time.

Thank you guys !

Dia khom vao😊

He is a fountain of more facts than can be quickly taken in, he learned them over long periods of close observation and study with an open mind and a compassionate heart. He sees what most in the West are blind to. They are successfully disinformed.because they trust their authorities. Those with a critical perspective take in what Vijay says like people dying of thirst are happy to find water. more, more

The only thing that I have an issue with, is that that start this history and mistreatment with Western Europeans , slavery, and colonialism. They refuse to cover the atrocities that were happening on the ground that actually made Western Colonialism in Africa a way lesser of 2 evils, believe it or not. I am definitely not making excuses for atrocities happening today, but people have such short term history, inside of a vacuum, that they make the mistake of throwing the baby out with the bath water. They also refuse to acknowledge the growing communism was and still is a threat, it’s just more subversive right now. People also refuse to acknowledge that even, with all of this taking place, it was still more stable than its ever been, and has created more opportunity than the world has ever seen. If we’re going to tell it? Let’s tell good, the bad, and the ugly.

This man is a turkey I gotta bail Google Peter zeihan for real analysis

Exactly. You are 100% correct. Thank you very much.

he is a great communist.

@@spellman007 Is that good or bad?

Yes but one has to teach it to their children. To fight poverty one has to know not just enough about the history of it's own country but the struggle of other nations against all sort of interventions but mainly the US led NATO interventions, arming nations against one another simply to divide, exploite resources from oil to rare elements, destabilize world, drive people poorer and poor to sustain its hegemony.

Specially selected elites, to manage on behalf of the (not) departed colonists.

They handpick puppets and assassinate the ones who want to prioritize Africa

Well said Joseph.

After colonial master gave fake independent.... The so called president became gate keepers... And if they try to refuse they are threatened

Wow u said it all from Nigeria

Agreed; Vijay is the man - he is super knowledgeable and speaks Truth to Power. I wish we had more people like Vijay to speak out on the United States' atrocities and war crimes committed in the name of democracy, when in fact their plan is to steal and plunder these countries for their natural resources. The USA is the biggest bully and war mongering nation known to mankind.

It's basic truth though. He voices what anyone of the previously oppressed in the Global South with even a passing interest in international politics knows and believes... I'm astounded that people call him a truth-teller actually...

👍

Great analysis of historical and current affairs

I agree. I like most if anything, all of the guests from Breakthrough News. Vijay is just one of those superstar interviewees. He is very knowledgeable, able to break things down, and has an amazing way of speaking.

So true , Vijay knows the big picture and the details. Admirable.

Noam Chomsky is no match for Vijay in the true scheme of things. He’s in the finally analysis an arm chair critic. Vijay has been on the frontlines as an investigative journo dealing with primary sources. But Noam’s memory and analysis are outstanding. That notwithstanding, he trails Vijay when analysis enters the realm or the international. He even admits that himself.

So true, Vijay is the man!😊👨🏽‍🎓🎓📚❤🕉

Where are you moving to I may ask?

Libya was a very rich and sovereign state. Gaddafi had the idea to pool resources and do away with the fake dollar, so they waged a smear campaign and killed him. My friend is from there and said he shared all the money with EVERYONE. He made sure they all had good healthcare, houses and education. The US stole their gold and put them into poverty and I will be so damn glad when the most high deal with all European countries

I also plan to leave America. Who wants to be around predators who are always looking for prey? Many different entities from this government have stolen so much money from me.

And then they had enough nerve to get angry at Reverend Wright for saying that the chickens are coming home to roost. They want peace with their evil terror.

This is what I'm talking about as far as white privilege. All people should have the right for free speech. However, I am black. I am often limited to how much I am allowed, have the races forgotten the Civil Rights movement? Yes blacks do stick together when there is a worthy cause.

LoL The Indian vijayjay is an impostor who couldn't even get his facts straight. ""Several hundred years of Europeans enslaving Africans"" LoL Three and a half centuries is NOT SEVERAL CENTURIES... ... AND EUROPEANS SELF REGULATED THEIR OWN POWER AND VOLUNTARILY ENDED SLAVERY AT THE COST OF UNTOLD HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF WHITE MEN'S LIVES VOLUNTARILY LAID DOWN TO FREE AFRICANS AND OTHERS. THE FAKE VIJAYJAY IS A BACKSTABBING RAT! NO MENTION WHATSOEVER OF AFRICA'S EVEREXISTANT CULTURE OF SLAVERY AMONGST THEMSELVES NOR OF SHEMITE AND MUHAMMEDAN SLAVERY FOR AT LEAST A THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED YEARS OR OVER TWO THOUSAND YEARS DEPENDING ON HOW YOU COUNT IT. He is a mouthpiece of the same world dictatorship he pretends to be resisting. No thankfulness at all for what the British did to launch his nation from the dark ages of extreme Hinduism/Muhammedism and oppression and mass poverty and caste system and mass paedorrasty, into the modern era with universities, railways, industry, culture, literacy, automobiles, cinema, radio, science, medicine etc. Just a typical murmuring, griping, groaning, negative minded, bitter little rat hating on his benefactors. Thank goodness not all Indians are as deceitful as him. Now I will go and listen to some wonderful Western music and enjoy my day.😊

PS the only thing he got right is that the USA and NATO are criminals. But that is not the only point he was making. He was also jumping on the propaganda wagon with all the other commie rats and using false history to bash those he envies. Message to the lying ""professor"" Get off your sofa and MAKE INDIA GREAT AGAIN! Then you'll have plenty to do other than lie about others. Because native Indians are capable of making India great? Well?

There's no way to look at it and not realize the 2 races will clash. if things aren't equalized..

You can have your views even though they're corrupt

They,or not many know that there is no peace before having a war first...and so it follows to always prepare for war if you want peace...a war should break out from time to time.calculate the gaps between the previous wars to have to some idea when it should or must happen again.this is the reality....so wake up.

Awsome comment david..

How true indeed! Mr. Vijay is a walking encyclopedia!

The same here , I become an international citizen .

So true I believe

The price, which will be millions of Chinese corpses (Han or other) littering both sides of the Taiwan Strait, is worth it for "freedom and democracy"... we are being led to believe. Whether that eventuality happens - where Chinese wholesale murder each other on behalf of American National Interest is up to the Chinese on both sides of the Strait.

I support unification but I don't think using an argument for an Ethno-state is a good (I'm ethnically Chinese BTW).

truth! A lot pf people don't realize this

I bet mainland China has better credentials in supporting minorities than the Taiwan settler government.

And fight it.

In this age of aquarius. The imperialist powers will fail. They are exposed first, the next move will be for ressource rich countries to work together. Russia China and Iran are usually will help Africa. Soon we won't be taking the mark of the beast. Meaning we won't be taking loans from the IMF, World Bank or WTO. In the worst case scenario we will continue to trade gold for ressource, but ideally ,we should be transforming our natural resources before exporting them to gain access to foreign reserves. The BRICS bank and BRICS currency will help Africa escape the evil West

Africa needs to not just fight the west but fight their own corruption and greed. If Africa would join the BRICs and literally use gold as money maybe africa would be amazing in the future. Gold would limit the governments ability to print money and inflate and steal from their people. The U.S. steals all the time through inflation but so does every country. Lybia etc should have joined the BRICs and had a military treaty before ever trying to sell oil in gold. Iraq was invaded cause they could be. If iraq would have been part of the BRICs or been part of there version of nato it would have prevented an invasion.

But China can also be bad making big loans tk countries and when countries default China then picks up assets. China is basically doing what the U.S. did decades ago. I watched an interview by an economic hit man. Basically an American would convince a country to get a big loan and develop and then they’d default and lose it to some American company and that’s how a third world country could lose a lot of infrastructure to foreigners when they started out trying to develop for their own citizens not to make foreigners rich.z This is the problem when countries take handouts from the IMF. Basically they’re saying we’re not accountable and we need money. The imf creates money out of thin air but this than enslaves the country that borrowed the money. I will say though countries that can like Venezuela should really pay off their debt though because they can. If you can export oil you’re printing money basically. But ya countries if they cared should switch and only use gold and silver if they truly wanted their worker population to actually be able to save and grow wealth. Otherwise most workers around the globe suffer from inflation. The U.S. dollar sucks but it’s like they say. It’s the cleanest dirty shirt in the clothes hamper.

The truth is we Africans have come up and known our enermy who is leading to higher poverty rates.what is surprising is that they use their media to talk lies about our continent u won't kill us all just know the biggest percentage is educated America and Europe SHD stop their nonsense.we are china and Russia no more bullying

.,,..😅

Russia, nor China are friends of African people. They are all playing the Good Cop/Bad Cop routine.

At the university where I taught in China, 1,000 African students, and growing yearly, were sponsored there on half tuition. Some whom I met are now working for Chinese firms in Africa, developing the country. What has the West done for them?
