NATO vs Western voters and the Global Majority 

So happy to see Dr. Hudson & Dr. Desai back for another densely informative conversation about geopolitical economics! Thank you both and of course Ben for platforming such wisdom!

Keep speaking the truth. The truth will out.

The sheer entitlement of governments making toxic decisions in "the name of the people".... astounding and tone deaf.... Thank you to you both for bringing these facts to the forefront 🌟

Thank you Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson for another round of your sweeping, infallibly horizon-widening analysis!

'Elections are the entertainment division of the military industrial complex' -Frank Zappa (applicable to all member countries)

Radhika Desai & Michael Hudson, as always thank you so much for the IQ Boost

a group of warmongers

Brilliant analysis based on historical fact and reality. Thank you!

ive never particularly liked the French for their arrogance, but I have to concede that their people are far better than most Europeans for their protesting and not accepting their governments doing stuff they dont like... in Britain people just seem to accept anything and do nothing about it

I keep learning on this channel. Thank you both and Ben and the team

So great to see you both in good spirits and hoping good health, we are very fortunate to have such expertise and truth on world geopolitical and economic affairs.

17:35 absolutely the best description of NATO I have heard! Thank you!!

I really enjoyed listening to this conversation between Dr Rahika Desai and Dr Michael Hudson. They both have a deep understanding and knowledge about geo-politics, history and economics. It’s all so interesting but more importantly, it’s crucial that we know about these geo-political issues.

Than you doctors. Really enjoying the smarts and the truth. Truth will prevail

Thank you Michael. Thank you Radhika.

Neo-Liberalist/Neo-Con perception of globalism and "global trade" are basically just more benign and deceptive terms for exploitation.

How do we stop mass Insanity?

Back again for the information that keeps us sane. ❤️🧠🗣️🎰

To put it into context, the current attack on Russia is the 4th: 1. French under Napoleon (failed) 2. Allied (French, British, American and Estonian) intervention in Russian civil war (winner: Russia Bolsheviks) 3. Germany under Hitler (failed) 4. US with its NATO members (on-going).

Nice to have both Michael and Radika for another geopolitical economy report. Keep those informative shows coming. A+

Thank you. Excellent discussion.

How can Poland allow themselves to be drawn into this?

Please keep talking us through these dark times as often as you two can. We need the voice of sanity now more than ever!

North Atlantic Treaty of Oligarchs

Thank you professors Desai and Hudson✊🏻

The title of NATO submit should be NATO's 75 year of war 😅

Over 2000yrs ago, the Chinese and the Greeks of Bactria fought the 'War Over the Heavenly Horses'. The Chinese won the war but three civilizations (India, China & Greece) encountered each other and aligned like 'Orions Belt'. This laid the paving stones for the Silk Road and it seems history is rhyming, this time its Russia, India and China coming into alignment.

Its the occupation of palistine the apartheid state

Gracias amigos .

Very informative. Thanx!

Brilliant, as always Much appreciated Best wishes

Great, accurate discussion by Michael and Radhika as usual. Scholars putting their brilliance to work for the welfare of the people is a blessing.

Radhika Desai 👍❤👍❤️👍

I'M NOT SHURE,BUT I THINK OTTO VON BISMARK, WROT TWO RULES OF WAR,FIRST RULE, DON'T MARCH ON MOSCOW,AND SECOND RULE,DON'T MARCH ON MOSCOW.

Thank you for one more amazing engagement on economic issues of our time. 🙏🏿

Capitalist Racketeering Atlantic & Pacific Trade Organisation

US UK Nato Countries Turkey Russia and Allies India, Pakistan and more Take (Robbed) Afghanistan Resources even Australia Canadian and more Countries are Involved

Both of you are brilliant thinkers, wonderfully knowledgeable and articulate, and have a sympathy for humanity that is absent in the governments and leaders of the west.

Sadly, Biden gives meaning to " We can all die laughing "

Its sad that some Asian countries or people still look up to Western society even though they are looking them down.

Great job duo.

Fantastic, thanks to all.

This laid the paving stones for the Silk Road and it appears to be repeating itself, this time its Russia, India and China coming into alignment.

Instead of arming Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan; US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education, homelessness....

Thank you for a very enlightening discussion much needed 👍

Thankyou so, you wonderful teachers of truth . ❤❤

This is very true thank you so much ❤❤

It's the house that Gehlen built....

Excellent! Educational!

Germany Government may be replaced, although this is not clear, plus the opposition CDU is keen on war, too.

Thank you. I learned so much today.

Britain adopted a hostile posture to Russia in 1820 and that never changed including during The Second World War. As far as Russia may as well be concerned all that happened in 1918 was the capital of the Anglo empire moved from London to Washington.

I love these. Thanks to both of you!🎉

Apparently the Polls denied that dangerous plan yesterday to the disgust of Zelensky.

Very interesting and informative video, you have provided additional perspectives that clarified what has happened since WWII in particular.

I must say, Michael looks great for his age......

Always glad to hear from 2 really heavyweights Dr Hudson and Dr Desai. And thanks to Ben Norton for hosting this channel. I've 1 simple theory on human behaviour. There are 2 basic human types : the marauders/robbers or the makers/cultivators. Throughout thousands of years in history, the peaceful cultivators and makers live in peace, until those marauders/robbers desire what they see in these neighbours, why in to rob/raid/destroy. Same scenario play out over and over again until now, it's the same thing now for those robbers to want to break up resource rich Rus, and rob them just like they are trying to rob Ukr rich black earth. Only solution is for the makers/cultivators to be stronger to protect thenselves against robbers.

Thank you guys for this valuable information 👍

Serbia Afganistan Irak and others are part of that peace????

The problem with Capitalism is the need for profit above all else, which eventually corrodes and turns into oligarchy. Pushing out the competition.

Another great and inspiring report and analysis!

Another superb analysis, thank you.

US UK Nato Turkey France Saudi UAE Isreal and Allies Take Resources for Yemen and Some African Countries

Thanks for giving a difference perspective on Things.

34:07 “The west does not really have a problem, it has a quandary: there’s no solution.” Damn. Devastating ~2.5 minutes of Michael building up to that conclusion ⬆️

✌😎

IMO, the Poles will not fall into Nato’s trap. They’ve been there and back.

Thank you

For thousand of years the West has formed the proud cultural tradition of 'united we fight'. NOTA needs to unite the 23 diverse members with a common enemy in order to achieve unity in diversity.

This is a brilliant channel

Fantastic discussion !

Love ur stuff micheal

Fantastic dialogue ❤

Important topic that needs to be discussed more often on many channels 👍 However, if people love hearing themselves in endless monologues, it's hard to stay focused.

You can't trust what people have said in the past.........

Who would be so, stupid to help your enemies to destroy your unlimited partners, so that your enemies can encircle and to breakup your own country. ?

Thank you ❤️❤️

Great conversation! I wonder if you would have some sort of cooperation with The Duran show; they are absolutely great on geopolitics, quite right wing in their politics unfortunately, but still.

The last 10 mins or so are gold.

It should be obvious to a 10 year old that our trajectory in the collective West is untenable. My conclusion? Most of us operate as 10 year olds.

Starting with the 2014 coup, the USA started militarizing Ukraine until Russia felt military action was necessary to protect the Russians living in Ukraine and Russia itself. Now the USA talking other NATO countries to fight Russia, of course Russia will respond.

Rodger waters put out a cd called amused to death that is the world now

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻One if the finest discussions and insights. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕💕♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟

There time of rule is over well the globe moves forward leaving them dwell in the past 😂😂😂😂

👏🏾👏🏾

No the Foundation of NATO / Oden was the America Britain Canada Miltary Conference Washington February 1941."Germany First, Holding Action Against Japan in the Pacific". USA Corporation not then in WW2!

Well it's simple...the whole world vs g7....there u go... simple. Just disconnect from the west u b ok by urself

Exactly 😮

The intelligentsia understand nothing.

My country, Turkey, entered nato with the price of sending soldiers to korean war. So, its not a defensive alliance. It never was.

Thank you!

Informative Information for knowledge seekers listening is an important asset. GET INFORMED THROUGH THE LEARNING PROCESS AS PART OWNING OWN GOOD BETTER KNOWLEDGE THIS WAY. GOOD LUCK.

OTAN is an offensive alliance to maintain unipolar hegemony … the current fight over Ukraine & possible opportunistic fight over Taiwan, are about maintaining nuclear threat with impunity & destroying the effective nuclear deterrence of the “Great Power” rivals (so that the rivals may be threaten with nuclear annihilation with impunity). What “right” has one to the power to threaten annihilation upon others? … in truth it is a legally & morally an asymmetrical fight: on one hand there are actions to maintain & extend the unbridled domination of others with impunity, on the other there actions, one may called, defensive actions, against domination & to effectively maintain one’s sovereign independence. Is it ok for your next door neighbor or from across the street to get guns, arsenals of guns, & point the guns at you, your family & your house from his side of the fence / his house? Is it ok for your neighbor to amass weapons at his house & point them at you, your family and your house? & then say loudly that HE is having EMERGING CONFLICT with you? & he has the RIGHT to amass weapons & point them at you, & you are just to go about your own business. Is this a right of self-determination of your neighbor?

Dear Radikha and Michael and Ben, it would be awesome if you guys could answer some of our questions I have a question I would like to make

These kinds of deeply intellectual discussions go over my head sometimes, but they are interesting nonetheless.

BLACKROCK has major shares in a handful of Chinese companies.

10:30 “The West”/NATO always claims defense. That’s standard for aggressors. Any researchers have an example(s) where the aggressor/party that struck first didn’t claim defense?

As we know, Russia is heading the BRICS+ meetings this year with more than 100 meetings planned on various topics. Recently a meeting has been held focused on a BRICS+ legislature. A legislature is a structure to formalize decision-making by a large group of people representing varying points of view. All representatives equally discuss & debate various proposals for plans to be pursued. If BRICS+ members choose to create a legislature to discuss & agree upon plans for the group, the rest of the world can choose to agree with the plans or not, but the plans can go forward for the group. If the rest of the world generally approves of the direction the BRICS+ legislature is going, different nations could ask to be included in the legislature. In time, it could be that this decision-making body becomes a replacement for the UN. Obviously, it won't have an elite "security council" with veto power. In this way, nations of the world can discuss, debate, use diplomacy & shared interests to create choices that benefit the whole.

Powerful opening monologue।
