- In response to the NATO summit in Washington, political economists Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson discuss how Western governments are losing elections and ignoring their own people in order to expand the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and beyond, while seeking to impose control over the majority of humanity in the Global South.

Brics?
ive never particularly liked the French for their arrogance, but I have to concede that their people are far better than most Europeans for their protesting and not accepting
their governments doing stuff they dont like... in Britain people just seem to accept anything and do nothing about it
hey, I am from Germany and people don't protest because they are constantly (in our case) shamed for what happened in WWII and that is kind of their argument for everything and why everyone is just accepting anything (doubling electricity bills, growing crime, inflation...) they constantly make us feel responsible for everything happening around the world whilst we (the middle class) have to increasingly work more for less and are bombarded by news and tweets on not that important subjects (like gender discussions etc.) and actually propaganda against russia, china etc.
So happy to see Dr. Hudson & Dr. Desai back for another densely informative conversation about geopolitical economics! Thank you both and of course Ben for platforming such wisdom!
Keep speaking the truth. The truth will out.
Radhika Desai & Michael Hudson, as always thank you so much for the IQ Boost
Well said.

I keep learning on this channel. Thank you both and Ben and the team
Brilliant analysis based on historical fact and reality. Thank you!
"Historical Fact" matters when deciding our global destiny.
Thank you Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson for another round of your sweeping, infallibly horizon-widening analysis!
How do we stop mass Insanity?
The only way this stops is either the global south countries joins Russia, China, the Arab states and the BRICS countries and we stop doing business with the west, including Australia, Japan, South Korea and the other wef puppets. Otherwise only a global reset through w will maybe bring back common sense to humanity.
I asking that question every day, people think I am crazy 😐. People around me are not getting, even my kids, they distancing me 😢so sad, I fill i should run fast and far somewhere but where?
@@svetlanadobrosavljevic4924..........evidence of the things people will do for money might help.....
until people understand that the IAEA is purpose making wrong decisions to have others die for them to get money people don't believe.....people have to see and understand for themselves...
Revolution is the only way
Not insanity but cultural tradition which is human right.
The sheer entitlement of governments making toxic decisions in "the name of the people".... astounding and tone deaf.... Thank you to you both for bringing these facts to the forefront 🌟
So great to see you both in good spirits and hoping good health, we are very fortunate to have such expertise and truth on world geopolitical and economic affairs.
17:35 absolutely the best description of NATO I have heard! Thank you!!
Neo-Liberalist/Neo-Con perception of globalism and "global trade" are basically just more benign and deceptive terms for exploitation.

I really enjoyed listening to this conversation between Dr Rahika Desai and Dr Michael Hudson. They both have a deep understanding and knowledge about geo-politics, history and economics. It’s all so interesting but more importantly, it’s crucial that we know about these geo-political issues.
Back again for the information that keeps us sane. ❤️🧠🗣️🎰
How can Poland allow themselves to be drawn into this?
The passive and puppy-dog friendly Polish populace has been ruled by a vile aristocracy for centuries, and most recently, by plumbers who couldn’t get a visa to jump ship to Manchester.
Nice to have both Michael and Radika for another geopolitical economy report. Keep those informative shows coming. A+
Than you doctors. Really enjoying the smarts and the truth. Truth will prevail
Please keep talking us through these dark times as often as you two can. We need the voice of sanity now more than ever!
Thank you.
Excellent discussion.
Thank you Michael. Thank you Radhika.
Its the occupation of palistine the apartheid state
North Atlantic Treaty of Oligarchs
Aye, certainly it can be considered that way, BECAUSE it is they who have this OTAN Military wing for the current iteration of imperialism/colonialism.
North Atlantic Tribe of Oligarchs.
The title of NATO submit should be NATO's 75 year of war 😅
Thank you professors Desai and Hudson✊🏻
To put it into context, the current attack on Russia is the 4th:
1. French under Napoleon (failed)
2. Allied (French, British, American and Estonian) intervention in Russian civil war (winner: Russia Bolsheviks)
3. Germany under Hitler (failed)
4. US with its NATO members (on-going).
Great, accurate discussion by Michael and Radhika as usual. Scholars putting their brilliance to work for the welfare of the people is a blessing.
Over 2000yrs ago, the Chinese and the Greeks of Bactria fought the 'War Over the Heavenly Horses'. The Chinese won the war but three civilizations (India, China & Greece) encountered each other and aligned like 'Orions Belt'. This laid the paving stones for the Silk Road and it seems history is rhyming, this time its Russia, India and China coming into alignment.
India is not aligning with China and Russia as much as they are cynical opportunists. They don't take the reordering of the world seriously because the people ruling India are themselves neoliberals themselves. They are natural bedfellows with people in Wall St and London.
They don't care about the Indian people. They don't care about the moral reordering of the world. They don't care about western imperialism as much as how they can become PART of it.
Very informative. Thanx!
Gracias amigos .
Brilliant, as always
Much appreciated
Best wishes
Sadly, Biden gives meaning to " We can all die laughing "
Its sad that some Asian countries or people still look up to Western society even though they are looking them down.
Actually they have ALWAYS been aware. It is the Western public that upholds the "Western Values" you speak of and are largely complaining of immigrants WITHOUT ever looking at what causes it!
I EXPECT it's because the Western public benefit from leg up and skewed privileges in their favorite.
Only NOW do SOME see, hear or even a few feel for the world's Majority. See the contradictions and the hypocrisy of one sided rules. Systemic across world institutions too.
US UK Nato Countries Turkey Russia and Allies India, Pakistan and more Take (Robbed) Afghanistan Resources even Australia Canadian and more Countries are Involved
Primarily, the resources were the forced cultivation of opium poppies and human trafficking. The US empire relented in the occupation when fentylal diminished the opium profits. The oil, lithium and other mineral wealth couldn’t be accessed, because the Afghans weren’t going to hold still for that.
Thank you for one more amazing engagement on economic issues of our time. 🙏🏿

Radhika Desai 👍❤👍❤️👍
Great job duo.
Both of you are brilliant thinkers, wonderfully knowledgeable and articulate, and have a sympathy for humanity that is absent in the governments and leaders of the west.
Fantastic, thanks to all.
I'M NOT SHURE,BUT I THINK OTTO VON BISMARK, WROT TWO RULES OF WAR,FIRST RULE, DON'T MARCH ON MOSCOW,AND SECOND RULE,DON'T MARCH ON MOSCOW.
I am reading War and Peace at the moment. Napoleon is just about to make that mistake!😄
I wonder if there’s any coincidence that Otto Hightower, the grey eminence in House of the Dragon, has the same first name…
❤❤❤❤
Thank you for a very enlightening discussion much needed 👍
It's the house that Gehlen built....
True
Germany Government may be replaced, although this is not clear, plus the opposition CDU is keen on war, too.
Thankyou so, you wonderful teachers of truth . ❤❤
Instead of arming Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan; US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education, homelessness....
But that’s unlikely as it would improve the livelihood of the population, which is on the list of goals of the elites - at the bottom.
❤❤❤
Apparently the Polls denied that dangerous plan yesterday to the disgust of Zelensky.
Excellent! Educational!
This is very true thank you so much ❤❤
Thank you. I learned so much today.
I love these. Thanks to both of you!🎉
Always glad to hear from 2 really heavyweights Dr Hudson and Dr Desai. And thanks to Ben Norton for hosting this channel.
I've 1 simple theory on human behaviour. There are 2 basic human types : the marauders/robbers or the makers/cultivators. Throughout thousands of years in history, the peaceful cultivators and makers live in peace, until those marauders/robbers desire what they see in these neighbours, why in to rob/raid/destroy. Same scenario play out over and over again until now, it's the same thing now for those robbers to want to break up resource rich Rus, and rob them just like they are trying to rob Ukr rich black earth.
Only solution is for the makers/cultivators to be stronger to protect thenselves against robbers.
Thank you guys for this valuable information 👍
I must say, Michael looks great for his age......
Another great and inspiring report and analysis!
Another superb analysis, thank you.
Serbia Afganistan Irak and others are part of that peace????
This is a brilliant channel
IMO, the Poles will not fall into Nato’s trap. They’ve been there and back.
Fantastic discussion !
✌😎
Love ur stuff micheal
Thanks for giving a difference perspective on Things.
Thank you
Thank you!
Important topic that needs to be discussed more often on many channels 👍
However, if people love hearing themselves in endless monologues, it's hard to stay focused.
Thank you ❤️❤️
Britain adopted a hostile posture to Russia in 1820 and that never changed including during The Second World War.
As far as Russia may as well be concerned all that happened in 1918 was the capital of the Anglo empire moved from London to Washington.
Fantastic dialogue ❤
The last 10 mins or so are gold.
Great conversation! I wonder if you would have some sort of cooperation with The Duran show; they are absolutely great on geopolitics, quite right wing in their politics unfortunately, but still.
It should be obvious to a 10 year old that our trajectory in the collective West is untenable. My conclusion? Most of us operate as 10 year olds.
For thousand of years the West has formed the proud cultural tradition of 'united we fight'. NOTA needs to unite the 23 diverse members with a common enemy in order to achieve unity in diversity.
But the case of Hungary and Slovakia now criticizing NATO and EU leaderships
For thousands of years? What thousands of years? Maybe you mean few hundreds? I don't even know when they were united for hundreds of years.
@@nusaibahibraheem8183 Western unity has only existed since 1945, since the end of the Second World War and the beginning of the first Cold War basically. Before that we were constantly at war with each other, maybe worse than any other part of the world in history. I mean, the history of Europe is a total horror show. Maybe that’s the reason we became so good at colonizing the rest of the world, because we had so much practice fighting wars against each other…
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻One if the finest discussions and insights. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕💕♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟
No the Foundation of NATO / Oden was the America Britain Canada Miltary Conference Washington February 1941."Germany First, Holding Action Against Japan in the Pacific". USA Corporation not then in WW2!
Powerful opening monologue।

Who would be so, stupid to help your enemies to destroy your unlimited partners, so that your enemies can encircle and to breakup your own country. ?
Exactly 😮
10:30 “The West”/NATO always claims defense. That’s standard for aggressors. Any researchers have an example(s) where the aggressor/party that struck first didn’t claim defense?
You can't trust what people have said in the past.........
👏🏾👏🏾

Rodger waters put out a cd called amused to death that is the world now
Well it's simple...the whole world vs g7....there u go... simple. Just disconnect from the west u b ok by urself
Dear Radikha and Michael and Ben, it would be awesome if you guys could answer some of our questions I have a question I would like to make
The dialogue between them just keeps getting deeper and deeper. It was interesting to see Desai address Hudson's use of the line about financial capitalism and to narrow it to rentierism. I have seen many criticisms of Hudson on the use of this phrase in reducing capitalism from the contradiction between labor and capital to just we have the wrong sort of capitalism. Honestly I see Hudson's framing as a stop on the way to the development of the productive forces where the relative positions of labor and capital are tilted differently in different countries where the non-western countries (third world and socialist) have a better slope than the West countries.
OTAN is an offensive alliance to maintain unipolar hegemony … the current fight over Ukraine & possible opportunistic fight over Taiwan, are about maintaining nuclear threat with impunity & destroying the effective nuclear deterrence of the “Great Power” rivals (so that the rivals may be threaten with nuclear annihilation with impunity).
What “right” has one to the power to threaten annihilation upon others?
… in truth it is a legally & morally an asymmetrical fight: on one hand there are actions to maintain & extend the unbridled domination of others with impunity, on the other there actions, one may called, defensive actions, against domination & to effectively maintain one’s sovereign independence.
Is it ok for your next door neighbor or from across the street to get guns, arsenals of guns, & point the guns at you, your family & your house from his side of the fence / his house?
Is it ok for your neighbor to amass weapons at his house & point them at you, your family and your house? & then say loudly that HE is having EMERGING CONFLICT with you? & he has the RIGHT to amass weapons & point them at you, & you are just to go about your own business.
Is this a right of self-determination of your neighbor?
Informative Information for knowledge seekers listening is an important asset.
GET INFORMED THROUGH THE LEARNING PROCESS AS PART OWNING OWN GOOD BETTER KNOWLEDGE THIS WAY. GOOD LUCK.
The problem with Capitalism is the need for profit above all else, which eventually corrodes and turns into oligarchy. Pushing out the competition.
We need same cooperation not ego driven competition.
Thank you 🙏❤️
As we know, Russia is heading the BRICS+ meetings this year with more than 100 meetings planned on various topics. Recently a meeting has been held focused on a BRICS+ legislature. A legislature is a structure to formalize decision-making by a large group of people representing varying points of view. All representatives equally discuss & debate various proposals for plans to be pursued.
If BRICS+ members choose to create a legislature to discuss & agree upon plans for the group, the rest of the world can choose to agree with the plans or not, but the plans can go forward for the group. If the rest of the world generally approves of the direction the BRICS+ legislature is going, different nations could ask to be included in the legislature. In time, it could be that this decision-making body becomes a replacement for the UN. Obviously, it won't have an elite "security council" with veto power. In this way, nations of the world can discuss, debate, use diplomacy & shared interests to create choices that benefit the whole.
