- Ambassador Chas W. Freeman, Jr. is a senior fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, a former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense, ambassador to Saudi Arabia (during operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm), acting Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, and Chargé d'affaires at both Bangkok and Beijing. He began his diplomatic career in India but specialized in Chinese affairs. (He was the principal American interpreter during President Nixon's visit to Beijing in 1972.)
Ambassador Freeman is a much sought-after public speaker (see chasfreeman.net) and the author of several well-received books on statecraft and diplomacy. His most recent book, "America's Continuing Misadventures in the Middle East" was published in May 2016. "Interesting Times: China, America, and the Shifting Balance of Prestige," appeared in March 2013. "America’s Misadventures in the Middle East" came out in 2010, as did the most recent revision of "The Diplomat’s Dictionary," the companion volume to "Arts of Power: Statecraft and Diplomacy." He was the editor of the Encyclopedia Britannica entry on "diplomacy."
Freeman is a former U.S. assistant secretary of defense, ambassador to Saudi Arabia, principal deputy assistant secretary of state for African affairs, chargé d’affaires a.i. at Bangkok and Beijing, acting U.S. commissioner for refugee affairs and director of program coordination and development at the U.S. Information Agency. He was the principal American interpreter during the late President Nixon’s 1972 opening of U.S. relations with China.
Chas Freeman studied at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and Taiwan and earned an A.B. magna cum laude from Yale University as well as a J.D. from the Harvard Law School. He chairs Projects International, Inc., a Washington-based firm that for more than three decades has helped its American and foreign clients create ventures across borders, facilitating their establishment of new businesses through the design, negotiation, capitalization, and implementation of greenfield investments, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, franchises, one-off transactions, sales and agencies in other countries.

Correction. Iran did not attack Israel. It retaliated.
what Iran did was strategic
czcams.com/video/eXfsoT-_044/video.html&pp=wgIGCgQQAhgB
It sent a "diplomatic message".
Thank you. 👍🏽👍🏽👊🏽🇮🇳🇬🇧
Perfectly legal under Article 51 of the UN Charter.
no Iran funded hamas
People think Iran's attack was "unprovoked" because US media somehow forgot to mention Israel's attack on the embassy. They literally LEFT THAT PART OUT. That's criminal negligence, as far as I'm concerned.
The US media is extremely compromised.
I do agree...
There were 16 deaths in the attack which they never mentioned at all.
They are the terrorists
Not only that but they have done this a dozen times over the years
100% facts!!!
Irán 🇮🇷 not only has the right but an obligation to defend itself.
Absolutely right. Israel has done nothing except steal our wealth and enslave us the American people in their Babylonian money magic financial system which our corrupt politicians sold the American people out!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Thank you 🌹
islamic republic started this war 45 years ago, you dont know what you are talking about
Yes
iran, yes.....but not The Peoples Republic.....let's vote on it, shall we?....what once was, the Persian Empire....oh yeah, defeated by the democracies....and very easily.....but, what were they fighting for?.....but the Greeks?....superior military minds, superior armament, superior ideology...a love for life.....and the Persians?....nothing has changed, a repeat of the past......
Mr Freeman is a good man. He speaks the truth.
He has no real courage and that is what counts. He tells the truth now but what did he say when he was assistant secretary of defense for the US? Nothing, not a damn thing.
@@rafaellastracom6411He was in that position over 20 years ago😂
He is publicly known to be strongly opposed to everything Israel and has been for many years now. Its in his best interests to lie in every way possible when it comes to Israel.
To the point he is already lying about Netanyahu's motives, no less then 30 seconds in. My guess is that he has ties to the same Biden/Obama Administration that is also anti-israel and which supported Iran.
Agreed!!❤❤
It takes real courage to speak the most popular opinion. 😅
honestly I can listen to Mr Freeman for hours. I wish Mr Freeman good health and happiness
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
👍🍻
So could/do I. Incredibly articulate, with a razor-sharp mind, a very decent and honorable man too.
@@anniebardelli7007 he also has a very calming voice.
@@nolga3569 true!
Free Free Free USA from AIPAC
Free Free Free USA from muslims !
They need their borders secure before they worry about beefs in distant lands.
And free the world from the usa.
The Lobby controls all of American politics.
Jjj😊@@Marius_vanderLubbe
Israel owns our Congress, which means we do what Israel want's us to do.
z o g
You need to watch The New Atlas. Brian Berletic has a different and factually based take on this. I recommend the last two episodes.
very easy AIPAC pays congress candidates to be elected, at cost of100 Mil USD/election. AIPAC Investments pays off, as the congress approves billions of US$ gifts to Israel + all its needed votes against any one country or org, that stands to Israel atrocities.
Your american jews own your Congress, this is in their interest, this is not in the interest of any israeli. Note how they and their kids are not dying fighting for Israel in the IDF, they are living comfortably in the US.
They have their fifth column in all levels of both parties administrations.
Imagine attacking a US embassy, which kills 16 civilians, and some countries ask us not to retaliate……?
The German historian, Tarik Cyril Amar:- ''In a normal world, the Western world would be sending armies to fight Israel, to defeat Israel.''
AND YET they are colluding and providing the arms
My post agreeing with your sentiments was swiftly censored by YT. The thug must be protected.
There may have been rooms full of kids learning in class too . Embassy rooms often used this way or as a nursery.
Mind the OKC false flag there was a nursery there too. The day all the agency had the day off.
True
That is the old world that people were brainwashed into believing in.
You cannot compare a diplomat of Mr Freeman's calibre with the dumb clowns that populate US diplomacy today. Amateurs like Blinken, Sullivan etc are an embarrassment compared to the diplomats that the US once had.
True. Old is gold. Mr Freeman has so much to give insight to the current escalation, his analytical mind is still ticking soundly and his articulation of what is going on is so accurate.
Agreed.
Was there no time when Freeman himself was in government and massacres have happened with US military support?
@@ahmedelnaggar8337 Freeman WAS NOT a decision maker, he was an adviser. If his advise was ignored by his political bosses, what could he do?
@@uncledan2u Lucid, clear and analytical.
Israel and USA have passed their use by date
Outlived their usefulness?
Israel is widely regarded as having the best anti-missile defense systems in the world. However, this has prompted them and the usa to reassess their defense strategy. This situation also raises concerns about the effectiveness of anti-missile systems sold by the United States to various other countries.
I'm an American and I agree with you 100%.
WITHOUT DOUBT
And UK
@@myyth146 Of course. And the US is just a glorified gun shop with 10 year olds as CEOs'.
always surprised to hear true words from an American, thank you, Sir
😆😆😆
you can easily tell if an American is lying because their mouth moves
Mr,Freeman sounds very genuine knowledgeable person, Israel has lost all his support from his allies due to Gaza genocides, occupation and brutal killing,
Most Americans aren’t for Israel 🇮🇱 because of Palestine 🇵🇸 children genocide.
You are joking 😁 all Israeli western parents did their best to defend this spoiled brat .💚🤍❤️
Chas Freeman is a true cousin of religious Islam Judaism and Christianity. There faith does not think kindly of hitting first. Savagery is a term used by the gentleman used too. Anyone responsible for killing the new born and children of tomorrow’s world are indeed savages. The 3 faiths can and will live peacefully without outside idiotic interference. Respect begets Respect.
Iran did not " Attack ".
Iran "Retaliated " for Israel's attack to Iran Consulate. Pls use the right word, Mister.
It was definitely an attack… Kind of a weird thing to get triggered by. Waaaah you didn’t use the word I like. Antisemetic babies are so weird.
@@philh2932
Jews are crooks.
@philh2932
Anti-Semitic is a word getting over used these days.
@@janetmcgibneyIt’s not overused, it’s been rendered completely meaningless! Anti-Semitism used to refer to people who didn’t like Jews. Now it refers to anything or anyone Zionists don’t like.
That's exactly what Iran did when Trump had the Iranian General Soleimani killed. Soleimani was going for peace talks in Baghdad and was killed by a U.S. drone. Iran retaliated by destroying a U.S. base in Iraq. The U.S. and Israel think that Iran is just going to sit there and take it. BTW, Soleimani got rid of ISIS in Iraq and Afghanistan and ISIS is funded by the U.S.
Against western assumptions , Iran did not use Hypersonic missiles .
Thank you Secretary Freeman and Mr. Alkhorshid for the video discussion. If only Secretary Freeman is still in government, the world will be more peaceful.
Agreed Mr Freeman , Netanyahu has long lusted a war with Iran , but he's always wanted the US military to fight it for him .
It is a US plan though. Israel is just following the 2009 documented plan.
Yes
Let's hope he don't make a false flag op against America
LIE. Once Iran was the best friend of Israel. things changed after fanatical ayatollahs took power in their hands and declare religious war against Israel. Iran openly announce it is going to erase Israel from the map. It isn't fault of Netanyahu !!! If such person don't understand this fact - shame on him !!!
@@TrickyVickey ahh, ze zion 'there is no aipac' breletic wisdom spreader, how quaint 🤣
no, its zionist lobby plan, they tried to implement it in one form or another since 80s, now they see last chance - as their golem is crumbling, and will do everything in their power to do so
golem resisted thus far, cause it was never in their benefit, will they bend now - if its even less in their interest than it ever was? doubtful, tho not impossible
You’re truly a “freeman” Mr. Freeman!
Chas Freeman - The man of TRUTH! Courageous and most admirable!
The man of TRUTH - hahaha! the man of LIE and just another Jewish hater.
Chas Freeman is unbiased, original and unique in his observations. ❤
I really appreciate this format. Nima makes no effort to be centre stage. Straight to the point, and letting his guests explain their views. Great stuff. Nima, I hope word spreads and you soon have double the subscribers or many more.
I couldn’t agree more. I really appreciate your thoughtful interview style, Nima.
I like the way Mr. Freeman phrased that, " Iran poked them with a finger, next time it will be a fist."
Let hope the Arabs don't make a mistake and trust the West
To late for that. I hope Iran doesn't not trust Arab leaders
Unfortunately for many Arab (royals) it’s never about any moral right or wrong. It is about how much money is in it for their royal families
Iranians are not Arabs
not west by do not trust any tyrant twice
There's strategic realignment going on now in that regions. Iran is now the king in West Asia.
Be wary of a friend that WANTS to get you into a fight.
Charles Freeman strikes me as a sincere and honest commentator. He explains things very well. I will be looking for more podcasts featuring him.
Watch Judging Freedom ,great guests or George Galloway MOATS brilliant guests .
@@samanthagarbettcharles4205 Thank you. I'm familiar with Judging Freedom, which I'm a big fan of. I haven't seen Freeman there. I'll have to start watching Galloway also. Praise the Lord that we have these podcasts to reveal all that the MSM would never bother telling us.
Chas Freeman is a brilliant analylist telling the truth and Israel made an unprovoked attack on the Iranian Embassy Iran has every right to protect themselves
Chas Freeman has good knowledge of the Middle East region. He speaks the truth for which he is well respected. Israel has the history of violence in that region but now they have been exposed.
there are pretty many short sided anti Israeli officials in the US
Some Israelis have conceived this outlined plan from its birth...
Israel is applying a maxim from the book ON WAR... The end product of war, according to Clausewitz.... "to bring about a more amenable frame of mind on the part of the enemy.”
The end product of war, according to Clausewitz, the authority on it, is (condensed) "to bring about a more amenable frame of mind on the part of the enemy.”
Very intelligent analysis from Secretary Freeman, thank you Nima for introducing him to us subscribers.
How does a Chas Freeman not have at least 10 million views each time he speaks
I could listen to Ambassador Freeman talk all day, a combination of fatherly voice, wisdom, and integrity. He reminds me why I used to love America that I now detest for it's plethora of crimes against humanity.
What a pleasure to listen to Mr Freeman sharing his deep knowledge of global affairs and keen insights in such an open, candid and transparent manner. He speaks with truth, respect and an honest commitment to helping us understand a chaotic world. It would be great if you would invite him on your show again in the near future.
A wise man speaks the truth and wellsaid..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👌Chas Freeman, a daring truth teller and a wise man.
Listening to Chas Freeman for an hour is like taking a credit hour of a prestigious and advanced geopolitics course. I could listen to him for hours. Blessings of great health and many more years be to him!
Mr. Freeman is a legend. I value his opinion and analysis. Wonderfull to get education from him.
Finally someone gets the Iranian's position with nuclear weapons correct and the reason why they hold this position. It is a tiny bit more complex than Chas states but his comments are the very best I have heard.
First time I am hearing Mr. Freeman. Such a truthful anlysis. He is so knowledgeable, learned a lot. I put him in the same group of truth teller like Scott Ritter, Col. McGregor, Jeffrey Sach, Noam Chomsky,.......
And Dr Norman Finkelstein ❤
You missed out a lot 😅. He's a respected diplomat with WEALTH of knowledge on geopolitics. I learned a LOT from him over the years. A truly humble person, too.
The story about your grandfather is beautiful, Mr Freeman.Thank you.
Mr Freeman an excellent commentator, with a very lovely distinctive accent and voice. I could listen all day.
Mr Freeman thank-you ,wish there were more like you , intelligence not ignorance , hopefully the defense minister has some sense
Thanks -Nima, you are the best interviewer I've come across on the Internet so far.
I love this channel. To the point, logical and no cutting off.
Thanks, Nima. I always appreciate hearing what Chas Freeman has to say.
Mr Freeman god bless you it's a pleasure listening to you.
Excellent interview
Mr Freeman is so interesting and knowledgeable.
Throughout the interview, i felt like I was going through a history tutorial
Mr. Chas Freeman is very composed, thoughtful and wise in his analysis and comments. Thank you for sharing all these with us.👏
Thanks Mr Freeman, Nima. Glad to have you on our team.
Chas W. Freeman is a wise statesman
NO
@@lennyshalmer7309Indeed he is very wise❤❤❤
Nima, I appreciate that you allow your guests to talk and then ask good, specific questions that do not lead the guests.
From india Mr.freeman is a wise man and an astute judge of international affairs. Former British diplomat Alistair crooke is similar. Both worth listening to. Awesome stuff.
This was an Iranian RESPONSE to Israeli ATTACK on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria.
Really ? Well thanks for that we all had absolutely no idea.. 🤔
@@studio2165 You should pay more attention to the TITLE!!
@@studio2165🥸. 👀😆🇨🇦
Sometimes sarcasm is difficult to appreciate in written language, even with an emogi!
@@scottstevenson8989 😁😁😁
Iran has proven they have a deterrent. The only question is if Israel is deterrable. Netanyahu has a nose for conflict for it's own sake and an indifference to the loss of human life, Israeli or otherwise. How many tears did he shed for Hamas' hostages?
Exactly... deterrence only works on RESPONSIBLE *sane* leaders who are actually concerned about the welfare of their country and people. Netanyahu cares about NOTHING but himself.
God save the Iranians...
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🇮🇳🇬🇧
imshallah
this is real news. to the 🌏
I
Love to hear Ambassador Freeman
Excellent work Nima! Bless you brother.
It would be a fatal mistake for Iran NOT to have nuclear weapons, seeing the seething attitude of the Global West and Israel has towards them.
I have said that a long time ago. Why is the West so arrogant believing that only they are entitled to have nuclear weapons? It was the US alone who has used two of them thus far.
US and Israel broke the NPT treaty a long time ago. Nobody has any obligation to refrain from acquiring nukes anymore. People forget that NPT calls for de-nuclearization of the US and USSR, this never happened.
Their ally, Russia, needs money...
@@gonzo1354 If you use "ally" in such an inflationary way, you have no idea what an alliance means. There is only one alliance on the planet and it's NATO. There are no others. Nobody else needs them, they are only needed if you want to gang up and attack weaker countries together.
They do Russia Leader just recently came out and said they have warheads.
This was a most moving and reasoned interview. What a wonderful man Mr. Freeman is. We live in a very evil dystopian world where lies are truth, right is wrong and it is very reassuring to hear someone like Mr. Freeman. Iran had every right to respond and acted in a very restrained and measured manner. Thank you both.
The psycopaths have popped up everywhere and come to power . And they act like psycopaths do . Same recipe . Grandious , entitled , no empathy , deceitful manipulative , lying search for power . On micro level and macro level . Just the same . And these are in power now .
Iran’s precision is so precise.
To deploy a mere performative barrage of weaponry and know only a little girl would be injured in the process.
SURGICAL.
Mr. Freeman is a very knowledgeable person. Everything he said is very true. Really a great man. We need people who said the truth about what is really going on around us.
Nima, love to listen to your podcast every morning.
I not only 👏 applaud this podcast I salute it, thanks Nima and Chad Freeman...
I can listen to Mr. Freeman for hours...thank you sir!
🇺🇸😎👍🏾 Pride comes before a fall.
Thanks for the insightful dialogue.
Chas makes me think, 'these are not serious people' when thinking about our current leaders
Bravo Benjamin!
NOBODY could have done more to unite world against zaionizm than you have done. Thank you!
That is very true. He alone has exposed the real Israel and turned the whole world against them.
Thanks Dialogue Works, for a wonderful interview w/ Chas Freeman. A real antidote to US mainstream media.
Wise, experienced, measured
Thank you for enlightenment ❤
My sincere gratitude for dialogue ✌️
Wow, I'm so impressed with Mr. Freeman, the calm way of explanations together with reasoning behind it. Thank you for having such a valuable guest. What's impressive is his past, only showing knowledge of far east to mid east "way" of doing "business". As I believe: Knowledge is power and shared knowledge multiplies power.
We're all raised in the U.S. to believe we're the "good guys," and that Israel is our "friend." When you see how measured & responsible & restrained the Iranian attacks were, you truly see who the moral nation is in this whole situation. We will all be better off when the U.S. empire falls & the multi-polar world order takes over. Iran has been brutalized for decades & shown remarkable patience. They may be a majority Muslim nation, but they display Christian values far better than the majority Christian West. The Zionists have no values at all.
May God bless you
Spot on and well said! Thank you!
Thank you for this and thank you Ambassador Freeman for the unvarnished truth of the situation and your wise words. I hope the hypocritical West can take them to heart along with those others currently supporting the actions of Israel.
I AM ADDING CHAS TO MY SHORT LIST OF MENTORS AND HEROES!!!
THIS AMERICAN IS MAYBE THE MOST HONEST YOU COULD MEET AND HIS LANGUAGE AND CHOICE OF WORDS INDICATES A FOCUSED MIND, DARING SPIRIT AND ABOVE ALL DECENCY AND COURAGE HARD TO FIND IN OUR COUNTRY THESE DAYS
FREE FREE USA
FREE FREE USA
I love Ambassador Chas Freeman. Yes we cannot sleep well at night. We love you too Nima thank you for all your efforts with Dialogue Works!
Chas gives a brilliant analysis. This should be on MSM in Europe and the US but we know it never will be…
Believe many Americans aren’t supporting Israel’s bad behavior as a little bully
"Weisswurst und Eier!" I doubt that would be found in Israel, but a good meal with coffee would go a long way to peace. International law is gone, morality is conditional, but hopefully humanity survives this epoch of war. I could listen to Charles Freeman for hours -- thank you, Nima
Very valuable explnanation by the ex Defence secretary
Israel is widely regarded as having the best anti-missile defense systems in the world. However, this has prompted them and the usa to reassess their defense strategy. This situation also raises concerns about the effectiveness of anti-missile systems sold by the United States to various other countries.

In recent times there have been four attacks on embassies, all of them carried out by the US or its close allies: The attack on the Equadorian Embassy in London to seize Julian assange, the US seizure of the San Fransisco Russian consulate, the Equadorian attack on the Mexican Embassy and the Israeli attack on the Iranian Embassy in Damascus.
Iran has the right to defend herself
We have humans that simply are not aware of the big picture,or they know and thats even worse...........
What a fantastic analysis. Ches Freeman is the perfect man for this job. Watching from Malaysia 🇲🇾.
A very understated gentleman.
Excellent point about violations of embassy international law, by Israel and Ecuador.
Chas Freeman is brilliant. Thanks Nima. I wonder what Netanyahu's friend, Donald Trump is saying about all this.. He after all, is running for POTUS again. Isn't he? What about Jared Kushner? LMAF! What an embarrassment it must be for the Donald...
Donald cares about the nephews.
Kushner is a zionist jew waiting to make a fortune on the rubble that once was the Gaza Strip, where thousands of dead men, women and children lay buried.But that won't stop Kushner in his dream to create Tel Aviv2 a playground for the immoral rich and powerful.
Everyone please look at the case of Hind Rajab. These people have forfeited the right to call themselves human.
Great interview, very informative. You are a very good interviewer. You ask short well thought out questions and allow your knowledgeable guests to expound.
Chas Freeman is so eloquent and knowledgeable. His analysis and delivery is captivating. What a commentator. Thank you for hosting him and giving him a platform for our education.
Well put out interview…Mr Freeman is truthful an well sorted analysis
Thanks Nima for your great interview
A former Asst. Secretary of Defense analysis should be taken to heart...that said, Israel is in a pickle...😮
Good old George Galloway only one to ask questions ..
Qualidade e clareza, obrigado!
What an amazing, informed observer of international events! I’ll need to check out Mr Freeman’s further writings.
Excellent guests
I like this guy ❤
Mr Freeman said the right things. I must add that Iran’s power has changed in the middle east, now Iran has the full capability to strike American forces including aircraft carriers across the Persian gulf with low flying missiles, drones submarines and fast boats, US fully understand this this and because of Israel US will not going to lose any warship or aircraft carrier if thy did then they have to face Russia in Ukraine and china in china sea. In my view US will not risk losing its status as supper power because of Israel. I think US will cooperate with Iran for its own survival as a superpower power.
I could be wrong !
Scott Ritter said CIA head William Burns has used back channel operations and gave Israel the “green light” for attacking Israel strategically as long as they don’t kill anyone and don’t attack US infrastructure and assets.
Nima, thanks for getting Chas Freeman on your videos. I've been following poltics, probably as long as you've been alive, but I've never seen him anywhere else except your videos. He's an unemotional straight shooter. It's a glimpse into what the US used to be and what we lost.
