End US hegemony. End US hegemony. End US hegemony.

As an Indigenous person occupied by so called canada YES it is wretched. And those mining companies treat world Indigenous people the same way they treat Indigenous people here. Those mining companies are rich off of the poorest of Indigenous communities. Like de Beers in Attiwapiskat where Indigenous folks like in modding government shacks on the tundra while de beers open pit mines and gets rich.

Always enjoy Dr Prashad. Great guest

Freedom for Palestine

Palestine needs to become 194th UN member. General Council could then eventually supercede the Hyper-Imperial Anglo-American veto in the Security Council.

من اليمن كل التحيه والاحترام لكل احرارالعالم ولشعب الفلسطيني

Yup, just like a crack addiction. They won’t stop until they are stopped!

Vijay Prashad is always great. Keep up the good work comrade! God bless you and all at Breakthrough News in Jesus' name.

as a canadian when he started roasting justin trudeau like that i giggled😂 thanks for bringing on this excellent guest dr vijay prashad

Eugene you crack me up with your dead pan expressions. I don’t know how the team at Break Through News are doing this- you are so very appreciated. ✊🏽🇵🇸🇭🇹🇸🇩🇨🇩🇸🇴🇸🇾🇾🇪‼️

It's always good to hear from VJ.

Good point of VJ's, how's Russia standing up to all of NATO with a fraction of the 'Military Spending' the Collective West spends.

' The End of American Empire Is Here . '

great news coverage, thank you

Very appropriate video title

Always a pleasure listening to Vijay. The Sahel countries appear to have a clear plan of want they want. They want social, economic, and psychological development free from neocolonial values. For example, Burkina Faso is rapidly putting its state resources into massive infrastructure projects and strengthening its ability to defend itself against insurgents. They have quickly struck cooperation agreements to strengthen each other’s supply chains and build on the strengths of each partner. I get the sense that they know what they want tomorrow.

Love you Rania ❤

A great conversation. Thank you.

❤ Vijay

Thank you Vijey for your experience concerning for colonial countries. Thanks.

Love all three of you ❤

Colonial eara is not over.

هذااعلاميه لاول مره مبتسمه ومنحازه للحق تحيه لكم

Brilliant really enjoyed listening and the old grey cells being stimulated!

Vijay is on point as usual

Vijay it is a treat to listen to u.u are amazing speaker with broad comprehension of World affairs

Excellent insight on global world order by Vijay!

Extremely insightful and illuminating commentary. ❤️🇿🇦

If the leaders want their people to be fed and healthy then they need to develop their economy especially during the global slowdown. They need to provide political stability so commerce can thrived and bring in new FDIs. Belt and Road initiative is a good choice abeit not the only option out there. Money needs to be found to provide infrastructure investment and basic social services (health, education, public forum). Ruwanda is a good example to study, remarkable turnaround after the genocide.

Free Palestine!

We are Pan Africans and a lot of our new leadership understand the need for Africans first in Africa

The world is full of good news

Very informative , need the young leaders to be strong against people sucking out their resources ,hperimperialism.

*Eric Prince's (ex-Blackwater/Iraq) recent statements with regards to re-introducing colonialism, because, of course, he cares soooo much about black African lives, and corrupt African rulers...* The modern "prince" WILL find his tools: nothing in the current system will stop him. In fact the OPPOSITE is true, in that forces from within will even aid him in "fighting corruption," just like imperialists set out to "fight slavery" or the "primitive beliefs" (sic.) in Africa, 100 or 200 years ago. Why? Because just like 100 and 200 years ago, majorities were either too stupid to notice how they were being employed as tools, or too greedy to care. History will rhyme again, because it rhymed in the past, and it will rhyme in the future. _Consider well the seed that gave you birth: you were not made to live your lives as brutes, but to be followers of worth and knowledge._ (Dante's Inferno) Eric Prince *will* find the "brutes" he needs to "fight corruption" and millions will "not know" their ignorance, will avert eyes in complacency, will simply cheer in indifference... The subsequent "muddied waters" (strategy of power) will offer opportunities for systems of gain: the opportunists, the merchants of death, the robber barons, the freeriders...as if we have not seen this all happen before.

Bye bye, empire!👋📉🌅

Well put! Xcellent

Fascinating, credible and revealing thesis borne out by a wide analysis of failing US neocon regime’s « Empire of Lies » and its duplicitous strategies across the globe that fool nobody. Merci. Paris 🙏🏼🕯🕯🙏🏼

Gold price is skyrocketing because of the Gaza conflict. A stratospheric gold price will totally destroy the economies of debt based countries such as US Israel UK Canada etc.

What IS certain is, "Things can't be being the way they been being." - Friend from childhood

The Global South needs to understand that the real enemy is the US Dollar, not its military. Kicking the bases out are empty gestures if they still crave the Dollars. As Vijay put it, the western bondholders are the first beneficiary in Africa so they need to acknowledge it and break the chain by refusing the Dollar

This man is unmatched when it comes to geopolitics

I think it’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what their actual objectives and victory conditions are.

Usually, the presence of the US military _increases_ drug production/trafficking.

The surprising reorientation of the Global South will be towards Islaam.

💚💚💚

Vijay, Africans would rather live free in their country rather than be tied up to a neocon country that for decades has stripped them off their prized assets and drove them deeper and deeper into poverty.

V'jay always a breath of fresh air!

Thanke for your calming information. The excitement of the moment cause false anticipation.

#FREE PALESTINE ## Dear God keep us safe from the evil that we can see and the evil we can't Ameen. I feel so sorry for the poor people in Palestine.

I disagree with Prashad about the AES countries Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. They have shown what they want to do and that is for each country to develop without Western interference utilising their own natural resources. So of the moves they have carried out so far by removing mining licenses and nationalising some natural resources so they have a vision. But to achieve their goals they need to stop the western destabilistation campaigns using their paid and supported terrorists.

Wonderful discussion!

Excellent.

Long live Russia! Long live All Russians!

big fan of the col. thans guys. great discussion.

Great discussion. Thanks

I for one welcome our new Global South Overlords! They sure as hell can't be worse than what we have now.

Very happy to do my very small part, by being a small-dollar sustaining donor to BTN.

Africa knows what it wants and it’s not imperialists/colonials nations.

Great work guys 👏

WHAT ABOUT IRAQ🇮🇶TELLING USA PLEASE JUST LEAVE MY HOUSE YOUR PRESENCE NOT NECESSARY ANY MORE-OH!NO

History always repeats.

Is that something new? Anglo / American governments have been doing exactly that since 1943 all around the world.

The US hasn't won a war since the rock was a secret weapon!

✌✌✌

FASCINATING!👍🙏🐲🐉🐼🌏🙂❗️

Hyperimperialism = Hyperdesperation.

“Decide for yourself whose land it really is” - so damn true ! Long live Palestine ❤️🇵🇸

For control

End of western era

It's very difficult to give up what you have, that wasn't yours in the first place.

In 2001, the Taliban didn't try to negotiate at all... They even outright said they would give up Bin Laden if the US could prove he was responsible for 9-11, knowing full well it was the US who was behind 9-11. So they weren't being cooperative at all, they were very defiant. And they proved that was the right strategy because it only took 2 years of compradore corruption after that defeat, for the Taliban to re-launch a serious resistance in 2003 that would eventually succeed in 2021.

The people of the USA and Great Britain hate their stupid leaders and this hate will result in changes.

Vijay was asked to point out the silver lining if any, and he pointed out an even darker cloud beyond. I agree with him but I need to listen to a little Scott Ritter now to become more upbeat!

But, thank God, this last time the nail turned out to be some special one and struck back and now is hammering the hammer.

Bring on Larry Romanoff...

Canada is not just the country of big bad mining companies, and mining companies are not all big bad, by the way. In 2008 through its Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Canada is the first settlers colonial country to have begun a formal process of healing its past by acknowledging and apolgizing for the suffering inflicted on its indigenous people. This process is ongoing, and certainly for a long time. Canada's politics can be quite miserable in various ways, but this process called Truth and Reconciliation is a great hope for the future of the country. I ❤ Canada.

How is it I got a Biden ad before this video 😂

من وين هذا الاعلاميه من اي بلدياشباب

Am I right in understanding that USSR collapsed because of very high military spending?

Brilliant guest and commentary. Thank you for your continued transparent and informative program.

The reason the US didn't send Blinken to Yemen, is that the Houthis had just used force to take over Yemen from its legitimate government, a war that caused over 377,000 civilian casualties. The Houthis showed they are willing to use force to achieve their objectives regardless of the cost. In this case, they were willing to used missiles and drones against any ship that was passing thru the Red Sea in spite of international laws the prohibit such actions. Yet, for some reason, the speakers think that it is the USA that is the villain because it wants to uphold international law by using force.

When it call for hammer don't be timid

They are for whooping the imperial powers

All usa has to do is open factories,and supply the caribbean,we prefer things made in usa.

Though I am not a frequent viewer, I am disappointed that in such "a very latest update" - either the Hosts have not been keeping track on the latest update on the Sahel Alliance [Mali/Burkina Faso/ and Niger] - which ignores the actual latest [e.g., Capital Program Planning or enterprise resource planning {ERP] for enterprise project portfolio management [EPPM]/ life cycle development for MFG/SCM] agenda strategies on the ground in the Sahel Alliance. E.g., Prashad posits that the young rulers of the Sahel Alliance are without a governance agenda [e.g., a Transshipment agreement with African two port sovereignties] is a disappointing oversight [Track 15:30 -15:44] on the laps of Prashad and the podcast Hosts.

It's about prolonging a disease.

historically - when the money lenders caused a debt crisis, in way or another, the debts would be partially or fully canceled and or the lenders and associated groups would be exiled … We have a situation today where the debt burden is enormous, and has added tremendous friction in the economy. Further, the lenders have captured key aspects of the government. This situation is not feasible nor tolerable for the majority of people. Yet politicians are unwilling to take on the debt challenge aside from calling for austerity … 😕

Vijay is King.. Namashkaar from a fellow Indian from UK

Questions for Vijay, Rania, Eugene (and for us all) - Is anybody with competence to look at these things setting out to model the economic, social and political dimensions and timelines for: (a) Devising and implementing a process for calculating reparations debt based on a range of factors including long term historical through to the most recent contemporary offences, and the identification of extant culpable parties that may be states, corporate bodies and individuals ('tracing the poisoned fruit' so to speak)? (b) Conceptualising political processes at the community and state level through to regional and global levels for legislating and declaring reparations debt on culpable states, corporate bodies and individuals? (c) Devising a framework for classifying odious or toxic debt owed by sovereign nation states, corporate bodies or individuals to financial institutions whether sovereign states, national or international or private lenders? (d) Conceptualising political processes at the community and state level through to regional and global levels to legislate for and repudiate odious or toxic debt either by negotiation or unilaterally? (e) Marrying up (coordinating) the declaration of Reparations debt with the repudiation of odious toxic debt, implemented either on a piecemeal basis by individual states or groups of states, or in a fully concerted act of regional or global alliances? (f) Identifying the military and security conditions required to safeguard communities, nation states and regional alliances in the eventuality of declarations of Reparations debt coordinated with repudiation of odious toxic debt? (g) Formulating arrangements, agreements, treaties and pacts required to achieve military and security conditions to safeguard communities and nation states in the eventuality of coordinated declarations of Reparations debt with repudiation of odious toxic debt? Perhaps this kind of comprehensive study and planning is needed as part of the 'staging' for dismantling Western imperialist hegemony, dismissing unipolarity, establishing multipolar (or multi-nodal or polycentric) systems of global interaction, that seem to be the main items on the practical agenda.

All empires fall but ilove the freedom in america i live in a dictatorship

Go home Yankees

These new leaders do know what they want, but you are not paying attention.

🏆🏆🏆🌹🥀🇿🇦🦎🦎

✊✊🏽✊🏿📗🌍💚🇵🇸

But no body knows what tomorrow will look like? It’s true what yesterday was, and all detested it? Yes Africa is on right track knowing its yesterday but like all the rest of the world know little about tomorrow except hoping the best and face challenges headon!

Dark and scarry? You aint seen nothing yet.

The lady would have had so many interesting things to tell
