NATO's Policy of Self-Destruction as Ukraine is Being Destroyed | Col. Jacques Baud 

I'm so happy you began interviewing Jacques Baud regularly. He's an invaluable analyst and commentator.

Russia waited 8 years 2014 to 2021 asking to talk and were continually and systematically ignored. The UK, Germany and USA had their chance - exceedingly and copiously - and it is just a little too late now, to put it ridiculously lightly.

Col Jacques is superb 🎉🎉🎉

It's increasingly difficult to understand the insanity from this administration.

Nima, you have one of the best interview channels on RU-vid... Bravo!

More of this man...Fresh air.

Col. Baud always on point! 👏👏

Mr. Nima R. Alkhorshid is a great talk show host, especially for complex topics. Thank you.

Jacques Baud is absolutely amazing... well informed, solid deep analysis grounded in facts, courageous to go against the whole mainstream that distorts the truth to the point of no recognition... Massive respect for this guy, definitely one of my favorite analysts.

These long-form interviews are much better than the short ones, particularly with this excellent guest. 👍😊

Great talk by Mr. Baud. Very informative.

Thank you Nima. Your dialogue works. Thank you for your expertise Colonel Jacques Baud.

Col. Jacques is tops in his analysis

Best interview ever with Jacques. Nima's non-interrupting technique of letting Jacques speak all the way to the end yielded a lot of previous, for me, unknown information.

Mr. Jacques Baud delivered an insightful lecture, particularly addressing the issue of "no clear objective" concerning the recent financial aid to Ukraine. Thank you so much.

Thank you Nima for letting your guests plainly develop their thoughts ! Right and wise attitude 👌

Jacques Baud is the best analyst of both Ukraine and Israel currently. So smart it is crazy.

Thank you Nima for inviting Jacques Baud back as a guest, on your wonderful podcast! He is a most knowledgeable and brilliant analyst of international affairs and military conflicts. His assessments of the Ukraine conflict , were all on point and showed great insights into the problems that both led to and perpetuated this tragic conflict. The West knows one response pattern, using brute force and warfare to achieve its goals around the world! The result is always the same, death , destruction and destabilization of entire regions, over and over again. This is pure insanity, and does nothing positive for any of the parties involved in these horrific battles. One would have thought that by now, the West would have learned the futility of such misguided policies, but that is not at all the case.. it is incomprehensible that such catastrophic mistakes , continue to be made! In the case of Ukraine, the country is in ruins, peoples lives largely destroyed and nothing positive gained for Ukraine on any level. Pumping additional arms and money into Ukraine, will in no way alter the outcome of this U.S. and NATO inspired conflict. The only thing it will accomplish is further needless death and destruction of Ukraine, and further territorial losses of once Ukrainian land to the Russian Federation. Jacques’s analysis of the conflict between Israel and Iran, was equally valid and accurate. Again the use of overwhelming and brute force by Israel against the Palestinians and Iran, have not achieved the results Israel desired in the first place. In the case of the Palestinians, tens of thousands of civilians have perished, lands and infrastructure has been obliterated, and a catastrophic humanitarian crisis of the Palestinian civilians has been set in motion. None of Israel’s military objectives have been met., and Israel’s own population and economy have suffered significantly as a result. Iran has shown great restraint in their response to Israel’s brutal attack on their consulate in Damascus, Syria. Israel violated international law and the Geneva Convention in conducting this strike. In its calculated response, Iran successfully hit several military targets in Israel, all of which were used by Israel in its attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria. Iran demonstrated their ability to hit with precision , high value military targets in Israel, while thoroughly evading Israel’s high tech missile defense system in each case. This has forever exploded the long held belief of Israel’s military superiority and invincibility. That has now been refuted, giving Iran a new deterrence capability , and forever changing the balance of power in the Middle East. Again Jacques Baud’s assessments have been incredibly insightful and accurate! It is most unfortunate that no one in positions of power in the West, has any of the knowledge, experience, expertise or insights into such critically important matters that Jacques Baud clearly does. The world would be a lot better off if they did. This endless cycle of warfare, death and destruction, is serving no one’s interests but to give enormous profits to the defense contractors of the U.S. and its Western Allies! What a shame things have to u fold in this pointless manner, and cause immense suffering and death for so many in the process! Thank you Nima for inviting Jacques Baud back as a guest on your podcast. We all benefit from his brilliance and wisdom in so many diverse areas. He gives us all a much better understanding of what is going on around us in the world. You are doing an excellent job keeping us all well informed, please keep up the good work!

Extraordinary interview!

Great guest

I'm not proud of my country but I congratulate Mr. Baud for telling what the diplomats we don't have should say

Switzerland lost its independence like the rest of Europe under pressure from the states and this is very sad...

Nima is an excellent listener -- quite a rare skill Hats Off

Jacques Baud being diplomatic, "Im a bit confused about the quality of our politicians."😅 It's wonderful to hear him in English this time so that his wisdom can be spread far and wide beyond the francophone world. Always measured and precise, and always the unvarnished truth. Thank you, Col Baud.

Thank you that was an amazing interview 👍

Thank you! You both are good men! We need more Good Men of the World to rise and save us ❤

Yet another outstanding interview, Nima. You really are getting the best commentators to produce their best work at such an important time. Congratulations. It is so refreshing to find a content producer who knows how to listen and get the most enlightening materials from all his guests..

Merci infiniment d’avoir invité le plus grand analyste géopolitique de l’Europe. 🙏🏼🕯🕯🙏🏼 Très sincèrement Paris

Col. Jaques Baud 🙏🏼 The best *Another excellent interview. In a sane world Col. Baud would be running NATO/EU foreign policy.

I'm always listening in Changchun, China.

M. Baud a much needed voice for sanity - full of wisdom, and political / practical knowledge. We need more of him. Felicitations for bringing him on to the prog.

Really wonderful interview. Thank you both

Thank you, gentlemen! 🙏🏻💪🙏🏻

And another brilliant interview with a brilliant guest. Thank you Nima😊

Excellent review from Jacques Baud !

A Best...best commentary. Very good. Thanks. Obrigado.

Very, very enlightening discussion, thank you very much.

Where has Col. Jacques Baud been my whole life! I’ve never heard someone explain the complexities of these conflicts and international behaviors so well. Thank you!

Kaixo Nima and Jacques😉 Always a pleasure to hear true geopolitic from wise people. Keep up the good work.👍

Brilliant! Thank you, the honest Man!

Thank you Nima and Col. Baud for very interesting programme.

Very well informed guest, actually the most informed about situation in Ukraine among those who Nima invites to his program, and, unlike Americans guests, he doesn't butcher the names. I'm impressed, since I didn't think there was this level of understanding of the conflict among the western analysts, but Jacques proved me wrong. With Bucha, this was clearly an MI-6 orchestrated operation which persuaded two goals: on one hand to accuse Russians in the civilian massacre, but no less important goal was to send an internal message to Ukrainians - if you will collaborate with Russians, this is what will happen to you. It would be super easy to remove white bands (sign of neutrality and posing no danger to Russian troops) from the arms of corpses carefully staged along the street, but they were left on them with the purpose of internal message. It worked for a while, as it raised the level of hatred for Russia among Ukrainians, but no longer is the case, since there is a steady flow of Ukrainian civilians who go to Russia from the third countries, like from Poland via Belarus, via Turkey etc. Assuming they can pass the filtration process by the Russian FSB (like FBI in US). They are given a resident status in a region where they decide to settle and even a chance to apply for a full Russian citizenship after 3 months. For many this beats their uncertain status in Europe which offered little to Ukrainian migrants in terms of economic opportunity and a chance to settle permanently in a new place. Starting this week all Ukrainian consulates abroad were given instructions not to process requests for new documents, extensions etc. to any Ukrainian men of a military age that do not present a permit for them to leave the country from the military recruitment center. The path to citizenship in EU county can be long and difficult and to take a long time. Are they trying to push these men to go to Russia where there is no language barrier and no danger of being sent to war? Zelensky doesn't care...

Col. Jacques Baud Thank you sir. for your analyses. You are very true.

Greetings from Euskalerria the Basque Country.

Why person like Mr Baud are not leading us?

The Rand corporation plan risks have all materialized and the outcome is even worse than the authors anticipated.

Jacques Baud is simply the best ! Thank you very much for this amazing interview !

This chanel invites the best guests. Thanks.

Imagine yourself as a soldier on the front line, you may not see the sunrise tomorrow, your family will be broken hearted on hearing that you have died. You have to kill your fellow man on the "other" side...with whom you have most in common; because some politicians and their filthy rich friends must not lose face or try to get elected...it's infuriating and utterly tragic, shame on all of those who refuse to talk or who use this war to enrich themselves....shame on those who try to silence the voices of reason and the voices of peace.

Always watching U from Ghana

Love his analysis on this conflict

Great talk❤❤❤

FOCUS. He said focus. Hearing’s not what it used to be. Great interview! Thanks!

You are so sophisticated! Thx for your hard work and sharing!

Very informative and knowledgeable analysis .

Thanks Jacques🙏🙏🙏

Just like Afghanistan... NATO and the US are running with their tail between their legs😂

It is always a pleasure listening to Col. Baud.

How interesting ! I love Mr Baud so much that I listen to him in English as well as in French ! And everytime I learn something. I read his books too, of course. He is the only one who makes me understand the situation so clearly. The Swiss people can be proud of him. (I'm French) Thank you for inviting him.

Thank you gents.great conversation.

This channel always gives fresh new information & perspectives. Thanks.

"Dialogue Works": Sentar, ouvir e aprender! Obrigado

Great interview! Thank you!

Happy to see Jacques Baud here. My first time listening to him in English

Nice Q and A once again Nima , always appreciated.

Jacques - very smart man🔥

Super guest!

While everyone looks at the strategic and tactical situation in Ukraine on the battlefield the US has run away with the prize. It broke the trading relationship between Germany and Russia and for a while has slowed the Belt and road initiative with China at the European end and is now controlling European energy prices of LNG.

Thank you mr Baud for this wonderful analysus9 1:27:06

One of the very best interview analyses about what's going on. 👍👍👍

Where do you find these incredible guests, Nima? Another stellar analysis! Best RU-vid channel bar none!

A dialog between Jacques and Pepe Escobar, animated by Nima, would be extremely enlighting for all in this day and age.

Yeah. During the Cold War, all major meetings between the Eastern and Western blocs took place in neutral countries. And it wasn't just Switzerland. It was Austria, Sweden, or Finland. The world needs neutral countries now more than ever. Unfortunately, to the detriment of even the neutral countries themselves, they are rapidly diminishing. In Europe, only Austria remains neutral. Many people do not understand that belonging to a bloc does not mean greater security or prosperity. Exactly the opposite is true.

Brilliant

Great talk. As always. Thank you!!

Thank you for this excellent abd insightful analysis.

The art of war . Pretend you are weak when you are strong .

My favourite youtube channel. Unmissable daily!

Apart from Hungary having the cleanest shirt in Europe regarding Ukraine, it is worth mentioning non-NATO Serbia has a virtually stainless shirt as well. The Greek, Bulgarian and Romanian governments does not seem to care much about their historical diaspora.

Bonjour , merci . Quel plaisir d'entendre l'excellent Jacques Baud sur cet également excellent canal . On en ressort plus informé et moins naïf . Au revoir .

T'est le meilleur, Jaques

Brilliant analysis.

Very intelligent and professional review. You bothe create exelent retorics show❤❤

One of our times most important discussion!

Wonderful

Yet another excellent, exceptional, captivating and informative interview Nima, and with a truly exceptional guest in Col. Jacques Baud: much appreciation to you both. Do please keep producing these pertinent and enlightening videos: in these times they are priceless.

What a gem of an interview! Thank you both!

Thank you Jacques, very interesting & clear analysis.

In regards to Poland, There was the 1939 non-aggression-pact between Germany and Russia that allowed for the partition of Poland. Large areas of Poland went to the USSR and then were inherited by an independent Ukraine in 1990. There is no treaty recognizing these large areas as being part of Western Ukraine which makes the Polish claims valid... At the beginning of this conflict, I suggested that NATO was digging up the ghosts of WW2...

The United States is used to politics from a position of strength, but these times are over and they must come to terms with a multipolar world!

Jacques Baud is like a miracle comme true to listen to.

Outsourced military is logical after outsourcing manufacturing. Next step is privatization of military

Brilliant objective informative insight - brilliant session

Jacques Baud, brilliant, cool, calm and collected.

important, relevant and interesting . thanks

31:25 Allen Dulles wasn't the "head" of the OSS, that was Wild Bill Donovan. Dulles was "the Swiss desk", Herengasse 23 or something, a quaint little place where this failure of a man got to throw parties, cheat on his wife, and be lied to- over and over and over. During the war and after, and way after, whenever anyone analyzed what Dulles "collected" in Bern...it was either gibberish, or Nazi propoganda. The man loved his Nazis. Many came to him with BS gossip, and in exchange he hid their wealth or got them transport, or other services. He also loved Bern, always romanticized it, even went back when his fourth or fifth "restart" didnt work and he kept failing at life. But Bern, the drinks, the scenery, the housing, the gossip, and being a "popular man"...that worked for Dulles.

A well-listening host interviewing a well-informed guest makes a well-done interview! Congrats to Mr Alkhorshid for his seren way of conducting interviews, a rare quality... light-years away from Piers Morgan shows...

Incredibly frank and needed conversation, gentlemen. Thank you.

These us military failures will also reorient trading arrangements, to the detriment of the us

Morning Nima
