Hitler may, rightfully have been concerned about Russian expansion given how many countries were captured in the Soviet Union. Was it not Britain that declared war on Germany?

Very interesting discussion. I think the host did very very well. One respectful comment to the host: it looks to me that your video camera lens is dirty. Which means that the entire image looks unfocused. I suggest you clean your lens regularly, if this doesn't improve the image you probably need to get a new video camera.

Imperialis AS ingris nato 👹 sudah saat nya runtuh.

capitalist exploiters... ❤

He's very good but if we could clone him and have all his clones run a government then there would be no problem but unfortunately today government as well as the banking industry is completely in bed with each other, one funds the other and the other legalised the scam years ago

Investing in the security and well-being of nations like Ukraine and Israel, and extending support to the Iranian people like smart sanctions on Oil exports of Islamic Republic but letting Iranians make money online through services, is crucial because our populations share a common wealth of talents, technologies, and values that foster economic growth, human rights, and fundamental freedoms. This understanding is lost on extremist ideologies like fascism, Marxism, and jihadism, which often rely on zero-sum thinking. For evidence, consider the arguments presented in 'Enlightenment Now' by Steven Pinker. Those who disagree are invited to engage in a constructive debate at Atheist Republic, where we can explore the merits of liberal values and the flaws in authoritarian models. Embracing liberalism allows for mutually beneficial outcomes, whereas extremist ideologies often require someone to lose in order for them to gain.

Ms. Desai, you're a giant. I will stand on your shoulders. 🎉

Good analysis

BEN NORTON, I AM SURE YOU ARE THE MAN WHO CAN MAKE OUR WORLD A GOBAL VILLAGE UNDER UNITED NATIONS, HAVING 8000 STATES WITH A POPULATION OF ONE MILLION EACH. THIS IS POSSIBLE WHEN ALL OF US AGREE TO GIVE HALF OF OUR INCOME TO UNITED NATIONS.

The US government wants a war there but the Chinese in Taiwan and China proper don't. Of that I'm sure .

My respect and admiration to you, sir,Thank you for not giving up on people.

As per the UN interim report: "In sum, the results management process of the CNE fell short of the basic transparency and integrity measures that are essential to holding credible elections. It did not follow national legal and regulatory provisions, and all stipulated deadlines were missed."

Thank you all. Very important to counter the mainstream/US bullshit narrative about Venezuela at this time.

How very canadian

That is why we had senior civil servants...to give advice to decision makers. Think tanks funded mainly by billionaire oligarchs were to have the perspective of private business interest groups bypass neutral civil servants. The think tanks have revolving doors with global consultancy firms that have revolving doors with local and central governments around the world. Global consultancy firms encourage their staff to take senior management positions in local and central governments around the world to restructure management and alter policies to suit the needs of major clients of consultancy firms to capture the government income streams and privately manage their infrastructure and assets as well as push through questionable development projects.

I usually have a bit to say about the slaughter of Palestinians that have been persecuted and occupied for at least since 1946 because I believe the Israelis have no case and are in the wrong. But when it comes to China they can look after themselves and if we are stupid enough to start trouble with our biggest trading partner, including the world, over issues that are none of our business, so be it,. All my comments on China will stress the same point in the future.😊

why are so call independent countries still being enslave by america ??? is this the so call 'democracy' preach by america to the world ??? america is still practising 'master n slave' mentality. guess democracy is Dead !!!!

just printing more useless money to finance war when americans back home are suffering !!! what kind of clown n idiotic leadership is this ?? america can never win a war on his own but using other countries to fight it's war. only fools will join america in any wars created by america.

Not likely now. US is fear mongering in Taiwan so as to dip its hands into Taiwan Treasury by way of arms purchase.

Prof Pauwels seems to be very knowledgeable person, but the lecture is so chaotic, like he was in rush for some reason... It makes it harder to understand...

China under Chang Kai shek was kind enough to allow Japanese families to remain in Taiwan after China regained possession. There's some evidence that these descendants are the troublemakers who want japan to be involved in taiwan. There's a lesson to be learnt by exceptionally kind China.

Thank you for what I consider a historical reporting on a fair election in Venezuela and dynamics involved with corporate interference. You are a very principled person in my view s I have followed you for years and appreciate everything you have contributed.

What a fantastic interview. What a privilege. To find out Sergei's thoughts has already changed my viewpoint of how Russia sees itself. Absolutely amazing. Very scary too in terms of his near future scenario but amazing just the same.

Well said.

The fact that he haltingly states the obvious is very disturbing. Splain yourself Lucy. Im suspicious of people like this. I personally believe that the widespread acceptance of non dairy creamer is behind all of this nonsense. Just food for thought. BTW i live in a trailer park in Kansas. And kinda lonely. I think i need a hug 🤔

Gabriel being a farmer, professor, construction worker, and socialist... really caught me by surprise. I'm new to him and he seems very interesting.

FYI, if anyone's wondering, the name of the Nazi-collaborating company that Rockhill mentions at 7:18 is spelled 'Mannesmann Corporation' (closed captioning didn't get it right).

What about the fascists who call themselves "anti-fascist". Or totalitarian revolutionarys. Like the BLM activist who enforced conformity with threats of violence.

8/8/2024 THE UKRAINE WAR, VENEZUELA AND THE AXIS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE By refusing to allow free and fair elections July 28,2024 in Venezuela, Maduro is using the same PLAY BOOK for STATE CAPTURE which has been used so successfully in Russia, Belarus, Nicaragua and so many other countries. Maduro and his corrupt allies have rejected the will of the Venezuelan people, and he will continue to oppress his own people forcing another wave of mass emigration to the US border while he aligns his country with the AXIS (Russian, China, North Korea, Iran) and their allies and proxies. The same PLAY BOOK for STATE CAPTURE failed in Ukraine so the Russian dictator Putin chose to invade his sovereign neighbor with a war of incredible cruelty and destruction in violation of international law while committing horrendous war crimes. Why do western democracies continue to capitulate as the cancer of Totalitarianism spreads around the Globe? In Venezuela the west can stand for freedom and democracy or we can once again capitulate to the AXIS agenda. Even after the horrendous bombing of a hospital for children suffering from cancer right before the NATO Summit in Washington July 9-11, the US and NATO are still restricting the use of long range weapons on the Russian military assets that are killing Ukrainians and destroying their country. Why? The fear of escalation after Russia threatened to provide long range weapons to its AXIS proxies for use against the west and its allies. The west has once again capitulated when threatened instead of standing brave and strong in the face of brutal aggression. The AXIS dictators are saying: -You better let us continue to destroy your ally Ukraine and kill its citizens or we will come for you too! Just look at what we did to a children's hospital !!! How do we see the AXIS threats playing out in the Western Hemisphere? Strategically, we must consider that Nicaragua cuts the land bridge between North and South America and it is strategically located south of the Panama Canal. With the help of its AXIS allies and long range missiles, Nicaragua could easily stop shipping traffic through the PANAMA CANAL. Cuba with AXIS provided with long range missile could easily strike the US mainland. Maduro is using the same PLAY BOOK FOR STATE CAPTURE that has been used in Russia, Georgia, Belarus, Moldova, Syria, Nicaragua, and numerous African countries to: destroy the the civil organizations that might oppose the dictatorship; eliminate a free press while substituting state controlled propaganda and indoctrination; suppress any dissent or demonstrations through the use of extreme force(using crowd control tools provided by the AXIS allies); use arbitrary arrest, torture, imprisonment and murder to intimidate the masses; eliminate an independent judiciary, exert complete control over the military, police and the secret service; use AXIS allies for military, political and economic support internally and globally; implement corruption on a massive scale to ensure the loyalty of key allies within the country; use mass starvation and forced labor to control the population; implement surveillance and population control using modern technology provided by the AXIS allies; use the local population as cannon fodder in war; using state controlled elections as a way to legitimize their dictatorships, and creating war time economies in an attempt to unite their countrymen against their enemies in the western democracies. It is no coincidence that Russia has deployed nuclear capable missile war ships to Cuba and Venezuela during the July Maduro rigged election. Such a deployment intimidates the local population and threatens the west so that the democracies will capitulate and allow the PLAY BOOK FOR STATE CAPTURE to succeed in Venezuela. Venezuela has the largest oil reserve on the planet ! Once Maduro's AXIS allies assist with fuel refining capability, the AXIS countries will have access to all the fuel needed for their militaries during a war in the Western Hemisphere. Venezuela(population was 28 million in 2019, but 7.7 million people have emigrated to escape oppression and starvation) now threatens to invade its neighbor Guyana(population was 743,000 in 2019) which has an enormous high grade oil deposit discovered by Exxon. Venezuela has a huge AXIS equipped army and air force while Guyana sits defenseless. Using the same strategy Russia used in Ukraine, Maduro conducted a poll of its people and had its legislature approve the annexation of two-thirds of Guyana. Venezuela, like Russia and China, does not recognize the International Court of Justice which settles international border disputes to avoid war. Venezuelan school children only see a map of their country which includes two-thirds of Guyana. If the PLAY BOOK FOR STATE CAPTURE fails in Guyana, we should expect Venezuela to invade its neighbor. China is constructing a massive deep water port in Peru and creating a network of tunnels and roads through the mountains to harvest the natural resources of South America. Initially this will be used for trade as China receives the South American natural resources that it needs while it sells its goods throughout South America. This new deep-water port will allow large ships to make the journey from China to Peru in only 10days. In other words, the AXIS countries will soon be able to move an entire army to South America in less than 2 weeks. Although this force may initially be peacefully invited by one or more South American countries (note the joint military exercises of China and Belarus on the Polish border in July 2024), the AXIS armed forces can also be forcefully deployed in the future using with the support from their combined navies, armies, and air force. Remember, China now has the largest navy on the planet and it is also the world’s largest shipbuilder receiving 49% of ship building orders in 2021. The US in comparison only produces less than 1% of new merchant ships. Finally, we must remember that Brazil (population 218 million) is a proud member of BRICS and refused to sign the joint communique during the Ukrainian peace conference in Switzerland in June 2024. Prior to the conference, on May 23rd 2024 Brazil and China signed a joint statement calling for peace talks and negotiation between Russia and Ukraine. Mexico (on the American border with a population of 131 million) and Columbia also refused to sign the joint communique. We can no longer assume that these countries would stand with America and NATO in a time of war with the AXIS in the Western Hemisphere. The USA, Canada and the remaining democracies in the western hemisphere can no longer expect that the oceans will protect us from conflict in our own hemisphere now that the AXIS countries have allies and proxies at our doorstep!  It is time for the media and Democratic leaders to see the threats that the AXIS powers pose to democracy in North and South America. We must cast aside our complacency and indifference to countries like Venezuela who are losing their last chance for freedom, democracy and prosperity. Democratic leaders need to understand and courageously face the growing threat of a totalitarian world order. The AXIS countries and their allies are playing the long game in every continent on earth setting in place new allied authoritarian countries; creating naval bases and airports that can be used by their militaries; establishing control of key waterways; weaponizing fuel and food to subdue opposition to the spread of totalitarianism; using conquered populations as cannon fodder for their wars of aggression; engaging in cyber warfare; spreading propaganda and disinformation to undermine democracy; and conducting hybrid warfare while using the tools of modern technology to control their own populations without a concern for individual rights or liberty.  Everyone should re-read 2 books banned by the AXIS countries: 1984 and THE BRAVE NEW WORLD to better imagine the new Global Order that totalitarian dictators plan for humanity's future. AXIS leaders are planning for decades ahead while our short-term thinking, our complacency, our thinking in silos, and our inability to connect the dots, blinds us to the frightening reality of the global AXIS threat to democracy, freedom, and the rule of law. Ukrainian victory over Russia would signify to the world and especially to countries ruled by dictators that democracies are willing to pay the price necessary to preserve liberty, democracy and the rule of law. A Ukrainian defeat would be a signal to autocrats around the globe: YOU CAN TAKE WHAT YOU WANT THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP YOU!!  If the western democracies allow the fraudulent election to stand in Venezuela, autocrats worldwide will be encouraged to use the same PLAYBOOK AND STATE CAPTURE STRATEGY within their own countries and they will continue to use this strategy with their neighbors. When that fails, as it did in Ukraine, there is always the option of invasion and war.  Humanity has its greatest hope resting on a strong, unified, global alliance of democracies which truly understand that capitulation in the face of aggression will only lead to devastating future conflicts and the loss of life and liberty on a scale never seen before in the history of humanity.

Remember, China now has the largest navy on the planet and it is also the world’s largest shipbuilder receiving 49% of ship building orders in 2021. The US in comparison only produces less than 1% of new merchant ships. Finally, we must remember that Brazil (population 218 million) is a proud member of BRICS and refused to sign the joint communique during the Ukrainian peace conference in Switzerland in June 2024. Prior to the conference, on May 23rd 2024 Brazil and China signed a joint statement calling for peace talks and negotiation between Russia and Ukraine. Mexico (on the American border with a population of 131 million) and Columbia also refused to sign the joint communique. We can no longer assume that these countries would stand with America and NATO in a time of war with the AXIS in the Western Hemisphere. The USA, Canada and the remaining democracies in the western hemisphere can no longer expect that the oceans will protect us from conflict in our own hemisphere now that the AXIS countries have allies and proxies at our doorstep!  It is time for the media and Democratic leaders to see the threats that the AXIS powers pose to democracy in North and South America. We must cast aside our complacency and indifference to countries like Venezuela who are losing their last chance for freedom, democracy and prosperity. Democratic leaders need to understand and courageously face the growing threat of a totalitarian world order. The AXIS countries and their allies are playing the long game in every continent on earth setting in place new allied authoritarian countries; creating naval bases and airports that can be used by their militaries; establishing control of key waterways; weaponizing fuel and food to subdue opposition to the spread of totalitarianism; using conquered populations as cannon fodder for their wars of aggression; engaging in cyber warfare; spreading propaganda and disinformation to undermine democracy; and conducting hybrid warfare while using the tools of modern technology to control their own populations without a concern for individual rights or liberty.  Everyone should re-read 2 books banned by the AXIS countries: 1984 and THE BRAVE NEW WORLD to better imagine the new Global Order that totalitarian dictators plan for humanity's future. AXIS leaders are planning for decades ahead while our short-term thinking, our complacency, our thinking in silos, and our inability to connect the dots, blinds us to the frightening reality of the global AXIS threat to democracy, freedom, and the rule of law. Ukrainian victory over Russia would signify to the world and especially to countries ruled by dictators that democracies are willing to pay the price necessary to preserve liberty, democracy and the rule of law. A Ukrainian defeat would be a signal to autocrats around the globe: YOU CAN TAKE WHAT YOU WANT THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP YOU!!  If the western democracies allow the fraudulent election to stand in Venezuela, autocrats worldwide will be encouraged to use the same PLAYBOOK AND STATE CAPTURE STRATEGY within their own countries and they will continue to use this strategy with their neighbors. When that fails, as it did in Ukraine, there is always the option of invasion and war.  Humanity has its greatest hope resting on a strong, unified, global alliance of democracies which truly understand that capitulation in the face of aggression will only lead to devastating future conflicts and the loss of life and liberty on a scale never seen before in the history of humanity.

8/8/2024 THE UKRAINE WAR, VENEZUELA AND THE AXIS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE By refusing to allow free and fair elections July 28,2024 in Venezuela, Maduro is using the same PLAY BOOK for STATE CAPTURE which has been used so successfully in Russia, Belarus, Nicaragua and so many other countries. Maduro and his corrupt allies have rejected the will of the Venezuelan people, and he will continue to oppress his own people forcing another wave of mass emigration to the US border while he aligns his country with the AXIS (Russian, China, North Korea, Iran) and their allies and proxies. The same PLAY BOOK for STATE CAPTURE failed in Ukraine so the Russian dictator Putin chose to invade his sovereign neighbor with a war of incredible cruelty and destruction in violation of international law while committing horrendous war crimes. Why do western democracies continue to capitulate as the cancer of Totalitarianism spreads around the Globe? In Venezuela the west can stand for freedom and democracy or we can once again capitulate to the AXIS agenda. Even after the horrendous bombing of a hospital for children suffering from cancer right before the NATO Summit in Washington July 9-11, the US and NATO are still restricting the use of long range weapons on the Russian military assets that are killing Ukrainians and destroying their country. Why? The fear of escalation after Russia threatened to provide long range weapons to its AXIS proxies for use against the west and its allies. The west has once again capitulated when threatened instead of standing brave and strong in the face of brutal aggression. The AXIS dictators are saying: -You better let us continue to destroy your ally Ukraine and kill its citizens or we will come for you too! Just look at what we did to a children's hospital !!! How do we see the AXIS threats playing out in the Western Hemisphere? Strategically, we must consider that Nicaragua cuts the land bridge between North and South America and it is strategically located south of the Panama Canal. With the help of its AXIS allies and long range missiles, Nicaragua could easily stop shipping traffic through the PANAMA CANAL. Cuba with AXIS provided with long range missile could easily strike the US mainland. Maduro is using the same PLAY BOOK FOR STATE CAPTURE that has been used in Russia, Georgia, Belarus, Moldova, Syria, Nicaragua, and numerous African countries to: destroy the the civil organizations that might oppose the dictatorship; eliminate a free press while substituting state controlled propaganda and indoctrination; suppress any dissent or demonstrations through the use of extreme force(using crowd control tools provided by the AXIS allies); use arbitrary arrest, torture, imprisonment and murder to intimidate the masses; eliminate an independent judiciary, exert complete control over the military, police and the secret service; use AXIS allies for military, political and economic support internally and globally; implement corruption on a massive scale to ensure the loyalty of key allies within the country; use mass starvation and forced labor to control the population; implement surveillance and population control using modern technology provided by the AXIS allies; use the local population as cannon fodder in war; using state controlled elections as a way to legitimize their dictatorships, and creating war time economies in an attempt to unite their countrymen against their enemies in the western democracies. It is no coincidence that Russia has deployed nuclear capable missile war ships to Cuba and Venezuela during the July Maduro rigged election. Such a deployment intimidates the local population and threatens the west so that the democracies will capitulate and allow the PLAY BOOK FOR STATE CAPTURE to succeed in Venezuela. Venezuela has the largest oil reserve on the planet ! Once Maduro's AXIS allies assist with fuel refining capability, the AXIS countries will have access to all the fuel needed for their militaries during a war in the Western Hemisphere. Venezuela(population was 28 million in 2019, but 7.7 million people have emigrated to escape oppression and starvation) now threatens to invade its neighbor Guyana(population was 743,000 in 2019) which has an enormous high grade oil deposit discovered by Exxon. Venezuela has a huge AXIS equipped army and air force while Guyana sits defenseless. Using the same strategy Russia used in Ukraine, Maduro conducted a poll of its people and had its legislature approve the annexation of two-thirds of Guyana. Venezuela, like Russia and China, does not recognize the International Court of Justice which settles international border disputes to avoid war. Venezuelan school children only see a map of their country which includes two-thirds of Guyana. If the PLAY BOOK FOR STATE CAPTURE fails in Guyana, we should expect Venezuela to invade its neighbor. China is constructing a massive deep water port in Peru and creating a network of tunnels and roads through the mountains to harvest the natural resources of South America. Initially this will be used for trade as China receives the South American natural resources that it needs while it sells its goods throughout South America. This new deep-water port will allow large ships to make the journey from China to Peru in only 10days. In other words, the AXIS countries will soon be able to move an entire army to South America in less than 2 weeks. Although this force may initially be peacefully invited by one or more South American countries (note the joint military exercises of China and Belarus on the Polish border in July 2024), the AXIS armed forces can also be forcefully deployed in the future using with the support from their combined navies, armies, and air force.

Thanks for sharing this

👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A brilliant and exceptionally good analysis of the whole problem. definitely great the way you make things clear. thank you! keep speaking the truth!

👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thanks Ben for another brilliant job. Thank you for this great work of disclosure of our reality. INFO; Venezuela has lost US$ 642 billion in revenues in the seven years since the imposition of US sanctions, according to President Nicolás Maduro. KEEP SPEAKING THE TRUTH!

Much needed conversation of history... Teller of facts with examples...

I was hoping he said something about the suffering of the Venezuelan people under socialism.

You should study the case of México that is unique. Our economy from Andrés Manuel López Obrador is híbrid with the state leadership

Your second slide : it's not 20th . it's 21st century

How does an institution like UCL hire people like this

Thank you Ben Norton. You keep me learning and aware of these changing times. I lost track of you briefly but knew to look for you as this power play unfolds in Venezuela. Take care, be safe. mar

Totally agree with the canary in the coal mine remark, we need more than brilliant analyses and knowing we're right. We need to act, not just think.

Read "Unequal exchange of labour in the world economy". The global north rely on a large net appropriation of labour and resources from the rest of the world. Southern wages are 87-95% lower than Northern wages for work of equal skill. While Southern workers contribute 90% of the labour that powers the world economy, they receive only 21% of global income.

Karaganov willingness to nuke the world is extremely surprising. Maybe he has a dream to make all around him hairless o baldheaded 😅😅😅😮

It seems like Karaganov is jealous about ppl having hares on their heads sem he wishes all around him equally be baldheaded or at list hairless 😮😊 Why he wants to nuke the world 🤬

Thanks Michael

Thanks for sharing the knowledge and thoughts!

Well said Ben 👍🎯
