@@MarkIngle1959 that’s what our shitty education system and television programming crams into our skull. The wall.

@@MarkIngle1959 I found that as well as the opposite applies too. Brit’s and Europeans in general havent a clue as to the size or actual diversity of America. And as far as racial diversity goes Britain has a long dang way to go. I’m looking at your Scotland! 😬 97.8% white Scottish nationals talking about Americas racism issues. What would Scotland even know about diversity????? Also over 700 languages are spoken in america with some 300+ being native. Everyone assume English is the language every in America. Not true at all. Likewise each state has its own specific cultures including foods and attire etc. America is actually a melting pot and it’s massive. Montana is the size of Germany. And the UK? Well it’s just 1/3 the size of Texas. USA is freaking massive, diverse and very very multilingual as multicultural. There’s far less of that in one single country in Europe. And the UK doesn’t come close tho London itself is truly very diverse

@@PatrickPierceBateman - Waters is only wrong if you are willing to negate the facts and refuse to educate yourself. Move away from the TV and do some actual research and reading as he suggests.....

@@gtbones The only one negating the facts is Roger. He blames NATO for eastern aggression but fails to mention that Russia has been cyberattacking the United States and interfering in our elections for years now. I've been listening to Roger's political views for a long time and he always thinks the West is to blame, never the murderous dictators or the communists.

@@gtbones for one yes both sides have their problems but Rogers is not fully educated on the matter either, he's going more against the west and ignoring the deeds that the opposing nations are committing (actual war crimes, blowing up hospitals). Taiwan didn't choose to be part of China, Mao's party did a coupe and banished the democratic party to the island of Taiwan since then they've made a democratic civilization there and now China is threatening to destroy that peace and the world will not stand for it. Did Roger really forget what happened to Hong Kong, a place that was recognized as having a government separate from China and yet China took all those freedoms away and as part of a free and forward thinking country I think that is not acceptable.

At 6:00, Roger is WRONG. ROC Taiwan was a founding member of the United Nations, and was recognized as the rightful government of all China until its membership replaced by PRC in 1971. What Roger said "International Community accepts Taiwan as part of China since 1948" is deadly wrong. Go read more yourself, Roger. Some major countries including Japan and US never "recognize" Taiwan as part of China, they only "acknowledge" China's position on this issue. That means they respect China's position but not necessarily agree to it. China knew it all along but China lies to the world that all countries "recognize" it. Roger is brainwashed by China's propaganda. A UN resolution in 1971 did not stop all UN member to recognize ROC Taiwan. In 2022, ROC ranked no. 32 on visa-free country list, while PRC no. 64. ROC has diplomatic relations at all levels with most countries worldwide. Diplomatic relations is just one condition for defining a country according to international law. Taiwan satisfy all conditions as a de facto country. By history, by law, and by status quo, Roger’s comments about Taiwan are false. In PRC's history, CCP killed millions of its own people. Besides, CCP is a regime that doesn't care at all to send its people to die during war time as expamplied in Battle of Chosin Reservoir in 1950 during Korean War. So Roger, stop encouraging China to invade Taiwan, because that will encourage CCP to sacrify the lives of Chinese people just for winning the war.

Or ignoring the fact Taiwan is not a part of China, that this is recognised by many countries, and how crucially the Taiwanese themselves do not wish to be a part of China ? He just shifted the blame from the literal imperialist military aggressor and shilled and simped for an oppressive totalitarian one party dictatorship, which is known globally for abusing human rights on a fantastically immense scale. And all Roger can do is go "BUT WHAT ABOUT" and then trying to never answer and change the subject.

@@r.guardia9107 The discussion was about the proxy war the west is stupidly waging against Russia and using Ukraine as a geopolitical pawn. On that topic his view is not only correct, but it also echoes the view of world-class scholars, independent journalists and experienced ex-military, intelligence and diplomatic circle officials. Russia did lose an enormous number of people and irrefutably was essential to the defeat of the Axis in WW2. His response was to Smerconish's imbecilic comment about America as "liberators." True then, total diversionary bullshit now. The US and NATO are now aggressors and instigators and do in fact have Russia surrounded with military bases and missile installations. You will notice that Russia--or China--has none of those in Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean or any other geographically analogous location in the west. And Smerconish, a longtime hack and shill for the western media propaganda machine, tried to use the interview as an ambush, which Waters didn't allow. So the point of your cranky, bullshit comment was exactly what?

Proxy war? So, the United States is fighting its own war with Russia through the Ukrainian military? That is the objective? Ukraine is the middle man of sorts and was the master plan all along? Praying and hoping a psychopath would invade a nation so one could fight a war without directly using the US military? Not to mention potentially crushing the economy of the United States. Driving up energy cost. And inflation in general. Well hell, Biden is goddam mastermind. He just made the economy of his own country weaker and hurt his approval rating.

One more thing slick, you might want to inform Roger Russia did not defeat Germany before December 11th 1941. Also, Ukraine doesn’t have nuclear weapons pointed at Russia as he implied during the interview. I seriously doubt Putin crosses the boarder if they had such weapons. About 90% of his comments are either historically incorrect OR pure fiction.

Apples to oranges, Taiwan is begging for our help.

Yes, wouldn't you love a world that bent the knee to your favorite autocrat. 🤡

Sadly he isn't speaking the truth. He isn't stupid, it sounds right what he says when you hear it and don't know everything about the situations, but he is missing key elements of the stories he is telling, and lacking principles. First of all he says that Joe Biden is a war criminal because he is sending Aid to Ukraine. First of all it's the obligation of the US to do so as a NATO member, but more importantly, Waters says that the US should rather encourage Zelensky to negotiate instead of sending aid. The problem is that Putin is a "dictator", or at the very least an autocrat that sees the "west" as his archenemys, and he is an imperialist. He won't negotiate. He wants economic harm to the "west", and butcher the people he hates. So if we go after Waters logic we would just give Putin a green light to executing his imperialist plans, destroying democracies and butchering the people he hates. So Biden is in no means a war criminal. That much about Ukraine. He also says that the US is trying to expand towards Russia, but in reality NATO is just welcoming a sovereign free state that is eligible to join into the organization, that has every right to do so. About Taiwan he says that it is a part of "China", and aigan says the US is trying to expand. In reality the US is just protecting a democratic state from getting attacked by "dictators". Also, Taiwan (ROC) is in fact not a part of China (PRC). The ROC is in fact sovereign, the PRC holds no power over it. However they want to invade it because they are also imperialists trying to conquer the world, and because they want to own the economy, and also want its geographical location wich is strategically important. Taiwan (the ROC) is simply just not recognized by most states or the corrupt UN, because China threatens wich economic sanctions wich is part of their Propaganda, so all of these countries are afraid of doing so, since they hold strong economic ties with China. That is exactly the mistake Waters does with this argumenation of "the whole world recognizes Taiwan as China", wich they in reality don't, just on paper because of Chinas threats. So aigan Waters argumentation is flawed. Not trying to say that the United States are the good guys that are only trying to protect humans and democracy (wich they aren't), there are other reasons too, but that doesn't mean it's not the right thing for morals. He also arguments by saying "who have the chinese invaded", but that's just because China never had enough power or other problems. Either way, that doesn't change the fact that China is literally preparing the country for war on a massive scale, and they are gonna go into war, at the very least if you don't stop them. He talks about "do the reading", but he is missing out on things, and his logic is just flawed. We don't need more people like him if they follow the same flawed logic.

@@yurilipkov I think u have it backwards

@@izachemen7048 I invite you to explain to me, and to other readers of this comment section, how is it that I have it backwards, while Mr. Waters is supposedly right. Especially now, after 18 months of absolutely brutal war perpetrated against Ukraine, untold number of war crimes, man-made environmental disasters, the issuance of an international arrest warrant for Putin, and relentless lies of the Russian propaganda directed at, both their own people, and the rest of the world. Russia has not expressed any willingness to negotiate unless it is on their terms; in other words, they are not willing to cede an inch of illegally occupied and annexed territory which they are brutalizing. Please tell me how it is you agree with Mr. Waters that, in this situation, we (the West) should just stop helping Ukraine defend itself, and somehow force it to sit at the table with the murderous aggressor who is not even considering any real negotiation?

Interviewer comes off as an elitist trying to correct the narrative.

I would laugh too if Roger said Taiwan (ROC) has been International accepted as part of China since 1948. Factually incorrect, the UN recognized them as Taiwan (ROC) from 1949-1971. How embarrassing that must have been for PRC aka Communist China. The US recognition today is that PRC believes Taiwan is part of China. Wait and see how much the international community stands behind President Panda should he invade. As usual, the biggest Chinese supporters will be it's benefactors.

I wouldn’t call what he said capital T “truth”. These are complicated debates and Rogers is way too naïve about Putin. Don’t just believe whatever CNN OR Roger Waters tells ya.

He is naïve on China too. Waters needs to get a good book on Mao and the Cultural Revolution.

Not that, they try to keep their propaganda for the masses when someone opposes the US politics. The interviewer tries to sustain the propaganda by telling a bounch of lies.

When faced with two choices, America started the Ukraine war and America liberated Ukraine, we'd have to thank poor, sniveling Russia, for doing the dirty work and actually invading.

It is not about crimes of the US in the past, it is about the military help of USA/EU for Ukraine not to get crushed by the fascist russian regime. Seems pretty hard for some people to understand the current situation. Russia started that war with not a single excuse or legitimation and is guilty of war crimes since Febr.24. But Waters doesn't care as long he can follow a wrong narrative that is set up from russian internet trolls and their followers since 2014.

Roger is WRONG. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ml373MHAtXo.html ROC (which is Taiwan's country name for short) was a founding member of the United Nations, and was recognized as the rightful government of all China until its membership replaced by PRC in 1971. What Roger said "International Community accepts Taiwan as part of China since 1948" is deadly wrong. Go read more yourself, Roger. Today 14 countries, which are also UN members, recognize Taiwan as a country. Are these countries not part of the "International Community"? Some major countries including Japan and US never "recognize" Taiwan as part of China, they only "acknowledge" China's position on this issue. That means they respect China's position but not necessarily agree to it. China knew it all along but China lies to the world that all countries "recognize" it. Roger is brainwashed by China's propaganda. In PRC's history, CCP killed millions of its own people. Besides, CCP is a regime that doesn't care at all to send its people to die during war time as expamplied in Battle of Chosin Reservoir in 1950 during Korean War. So Roger, stop encouraging China to invade Taiwan, because that will encourage CCP to sacrify the lives of Chinese people just for winning the war.

More truth like Chinese exploitation of the Africans, the death of Ukranians by siding with the aggressor & the 2m total Muslims held in re-edu internment camps in Xinjiang? Also 6:00 , Taiwan was recognized as a country by the UN from 1949 to 1971 so he's factually wrong there too. Lastly, the Russians had not remotely won WWII by time Americans joined, they were cannon fodder for the Germans then afterward ran every country into the ground that they touched, none more prolific than East Germany Roger should just move to China or Russia and bend the knee. 👋🏻

Do you know how many drugs he's done??

What are the correct memories? The USSR never negotiated any withdraw from Eastern Europe. The USSR and its sphere of influence collapsed. The US never promised to not expand eastward. (If you're gonna state the "No step east" quote, first read what it was actually about) Every independent nation has the right to join military alliances like NATO, if that's the will of its people. Russia should have no say in a sovereign states decisions. Why do you think all of Russia's neighbors want to join the EU and NATO? Roger Waters is just defending Russian imperialism and basically everything he said was incorrect.

@@MemaK124 ..Exactly and NATO has reduced its equipment and troops steadily on Russia's border since the USSR fell. Any equipment added has only replaced older stuff.

Thank God for people like Roger Waters, and what a scumbag Smerconish for pretending like he doesn't know the truth.

At 6:00, Roger is WRONG. ROC Taiwan was a founding member of the United Nations, and was recognized as the rightful government of all China until its membership replaced by PRC in 1971.

Roger is brainwashed by China's propaganda. A UN resolution in 1971 did not stop all UN member to recognize ROC Taiwan. In 2022, ROC ranked no. 32 on visa-free country list, while PRC no. 64. ROC has diplomatic relations at all levels with most countries worldwide. Diplomatic relations is just one condition for defining a country according to international law. Taiwan satisfy all conditions as a de facto country. By history, by law, and by status quo, Roger’s comments about Taiwan are false. In PRC's history, CCP killed millions of its own people. Besides, CCP is a regime that doesn't care at all to send its people to die during war time as expamplied in Battle of Chosin Reservoir in 1950 during Korean War. So Roger, stop encouraging China to invade Taiwan, because that will encourage CCP to sacrify the lives of Chinese people just for winning the war.

So there is no solution then. XD

Roger is wrong. PRC never governed ROC. It's not unification or reunification as in PRC propaganda. It's invasion. PRC is a totalitarian state with only one party staying in power forever. None of PRC's presidents and no PRC law makers were elected by direct vote by people. All laws determined by CCP. Hong Kong people were able to direct vote for law makers. That has changed. Now any law makers not cooperate with CCP were removed. Election for head of HK city are arranged by CCP. In contrast, everyone in ROC Taiwan has a direct vote for electing our own president and law makers. Taiwan satisfy all conditions as a de facto country in international law. Taiwan cares most about the everyday life of its own people. That's why ROC Taiwan's main goal is to remain a free and democractic country. ROC Taiwan is not pursuing to be the country that represent the title "China". It doesn't care what country represents the orthodox of "China". ROC Taiwan has no interest to change the regime of China or return to power in China or anything like that. Those kind of old, post-WWII thinking has long gone decades ago. I'm shocked many international people still keep those old impression about Taiwan-China relation. Government of each side should care about the daily life of their people as first priority. but PRC intends to take ROC for "Great Rejuvenation of China". PRC never governed ROC. It's not unification or reunification as in PRC propaganda. It's invasion.

The one China policy recognized by the world says Taiwan is part of China.

Roger Waters has poor knowldge about Asia history and recent development overall. How could he endorses China so much in this video as if he knew well about China? At 6:50 "In fact, as far as I can recall, who has the Chinese invaded?" Roger doesn't even know about the war between China (PRC) and Vietnam in 1979, the Sino-Vietnamese War (This is not the Vietnam War USA fighted) , and Sino-Indian War in 1962. And Korean War where North Korea initiated the war under the support of China PRC. China sent troops to fight in this war. Michael maybe is just too shy or polite to point out Roger's fault.

Someone cited a UN resolution in 1971 to show me UN recognized PRC as China and replaced ROC’s membership. Well, it’s funny. Did the resolution stop all UN members from building official relation with ROC? No! UN doesn't function as expected. Everybody knows that. If all UN functions well, we'll have no war and live in a wonderful world. Diplomatic relations is just one condition for defining a country according to international law. Taiwan satisfy all conditions as a de facto country by international law. UN may have influence on official diplomatic relations between countries, but it cannot influence diplomatic relations at all level, let alone determine diplomatic relations for members. Define a country solely based on a UN resolution shows narrowed thinking and little understanding of international affair.

A country with its own Nazis, some of whom have gone to Ukraine in the past, to network and train. A country that debates on whether torturing someone is wrong. A country that argues over whose “fault” it is, when a frigging nuclear reactor is getting shelled(Zaporizhya). The U.S. has absolutely no moral authority to judge anyone, anywhere, anytime.

All of them within the past 2 decades. Not to mention the interventions and meddling in Africa and Latin America which is insultingly called a "backyard"

@@jeanchen3346 you have written the same comment throughout the responses. We got it once, no need to repeat it over and over again. This type of behaviour hinds to me a hidden agenda and makes your commends not credible. Congratulations to Roger Waters who uses his name and shows to stand up to the main stream propaganda and the current warmongers. As much as you are trying to discredit him with what you write about China, he speaks tons and correct about the mingling of NATO and the USA in world affairs with truly tragic consequences.

Brave? That would be to speak against the Russian war of agression and invasion, in Russia. You know the thing that would land you in 15 years in russian prison.

True. If Waters was in a real debate, he would be made to look naive.

he change subjects constantly because he knows hes gona lose if he continues...

I do not have enough knowledge to actually say who is right or who is wrong but the interviewer looks massively arrogant.

@@wellaciccio2362 Read or watch some Noam Chomsky. Or just research. Waters is 100% correct.

@@mikeacker7905 He has been in real debates. He is yet to look naïve.

I agree with a lot of what Roger is saying, but there's a lot of stuff he's glossing over here. In the 1930's Stalin forced starvation policies lead to the death of millions of Ukrainians. On another one of your points, Russia is equally at fault for installing a puppet leader in Ukraine. Remember Viktor Yanukovych? I also don't agree with his position on Julian Assange, which was not discussed in this interview, but I do agree with his position on the Palestinian situation.

During WWi and WW2, the US was an isolationist country. We were dragged into both wars kicking and screaming. And when we stepped up to the plate, the world thanked us. Granted the US has made some pretty big blunders on the international stage over the years, and we deserve to be reminded of it, but we also (used to be ) the world leader in humanitarian efforts.

Well thank goodness the Soviets didn't 'liberate' the rest of Europe after WW2! And it's funny how the US is cricised for being war-mongers and starting wars etc, yet the same people (Waters) then criticises them for being reluctant to enter in both world wars! Can't have it both ways.

@@thomasmoeller3446 Agree completely (and I'm not American even).

@@thomasmoeller3446 FDR needed and was aware of the imminent attack on Pearl harbor to get americans into the war. That is a crime all on its own.

Sadly thats why its so important such artists do this, its almost the ONLY time media ever airs it. I think in part they do it like this to generally discredit it. When you get Roger riled up like that, it doesn't help his position. I think that was the plan.

It must be difficult to keep one's cool when faced with the usual US bullshitty view of history and the world.

Except, some of us are actually old enough to remember history and know the "NATO started the Ukraine war," is propagandist bullshit. NATO was formed as a direct response to Soviet expansion and I know this, because I was there. Imperialists use the one offensive operation, of the intervention at Kosovo, to impune NATO, to disrespect and discredit it, but such attitude, could only serve to bring NATO down to the level of the Russians and never past it. Roger Waters can embrace controversy, for the sake of it, but he is serving as an apologist for war and hegemony and that is going too far, for the sake of being fashionable. We see that scum and ideologues with names like "Marxist," pick up his message and try to twist it to their own ends and the youth simply don't know any better.

As a Chinese,I think the world will be caught in chaos under the evil forces control if USA doesn’t care .Taiwan people should not suffer from the same pain as our.Chinese government has slaughtered their people in mainland quite a few times!

The difference is that the US is THE world empire. Thats WHY there is such propaganda. I'm in canada, and while we don't do as much invading, our mining companies and 'foreign aide' are just as noxious as is our treatment of first nations and the environment. But its the old adage, where you can't control what people DO, you have to control what they THINK. In order to be able to operate around the world you have to drive it into peoples heads that its justified, because in polls, americans are VERY insular and like it that way. They don't give a shit about what other peoples think of them, and they don't often think of them. But 'empire' is a different thing altogether. Most americans don't even THINK of it as an empire. In large part thats the electoral system, in the US its simply been taken over by moneyed interests who control things for....you guessed it, the moneyed interests.

Ridiculous assertation that ALL Americans are brainwashed about supporting War. In fact it was young people protesting in the 60s/ 70s that lead to the ending of the Viet Nam war. Try protesting the "special military" operation in Russia. You'd be sent to the nearest gulag prison.

At least，you can choose which news you can believe and which news you can’t believe since you have the right to the browse the information from all over the world.In China,you have no choice other than the news the government has selected and edited because of the lack of the access to the international internet.

Was Herr Waters sagt ist total falsch. Auf jedenfalls ist Taiwan kein Teils Chinas. Taiwan ist ein unabhängiges Land mit seinem eigenem Geld, Präsident, Gesetzte und Armee.

@@lockjiang What Waters says is, in Pauli's word's, 'Ganz falsch'

Roger Waters is wrong about Gorbachev having been promised that NATO would not expand to the East. It's a favorite talking point of Putin's, but Gorbachev himself publicly denied it in an interview. It never happened. Roger Waters is also wrong about the US being entirely isolationist until Pearl Harbor attack. The US adopted Lend-Lease Act in March, 1941. Pearl Harbor didn't happen until December that same year. Waters should stop spreading disinformation.
