The US is escalating a bipartisan Cold War, pumping up the military industrial complex, fueling proxy wars and gutting what’s left of the welfare state. But there is a split in the ruling class on how best to guarantee US hegemony. On one side is the far-right America First crowd led by Trump, who claim to want out of Ukraine. That’s only because they want to divert the country’s Cold War resources solely toward what they see as the ultimate enemy, China. On the other side there are the neo-cons and liberals who want to take on Russia and China at the same. Both sides are committed imperialists with the same agenda, but they have a different pathway for how to get there.
Here to discuss how to navigate it all as the U.S. Empire gets desperate to maintain itself in an increasingly multipolar world is Ben Norton, a Latin-America based journalist and founder of the Geopolitical Economy Report.

I can’t wait to leave the US.
me 2 - shopping around as we speak
I left the US 4 years ago. Currently living in Malaysia. Life is peaceful, content, delicious food, low stress, rent at $600/month all included, beautiful beaches. Im not looking back.
@@williamppl3624 are you retired or what do u do for income?
Don't give up, stand up and voice your view.
Have to leave right now, before US use digital money which their aim is to control how the Americans use their money, and they can forfeit the money from certain individuals if they wanted to.
Ben is one of the most well informed journalists available. His reports are always well researched and backed up by listed source materials. He displays the kind of journalistic integrity that is so lacking and needed in todays media.
He's great
I like him, Richard Medhurts and the New Atlas with Brian.
Really is that why he calls the us an empire when we are surely not an empire?
@@brianhill1546 The US has >800 military bases around the world. NO other empire has ever had anything close to that. What world are you living in?
Instead of them focusing on themselves, they are focused on other country's. And at the and if it all they are going to say" how did we and up here"
Your country's is falling apart. Instead, if fixing that, they are doing the same thing the Romans did.
Always glad to see Ben Norton appearances 👍 Same with Vijay Prashad and Ali Abunimah.
🎉🎉 totally agree. 3 great anti imperialists
ITS NOT POSSIBLE FOR AMERICA TO COMPETE WITH CHINA ,THE AMERICAN CAPITALIST SYSTEM OPERATES ONLY FOR PROFIT ,( AT ANY COST OR ANY PRICE) SO NO PROFIT NO COMMERCE, CHINA ON THE OTHER HAND ONLY NEEDS TO BREAK EVEN ,HOW CAN THE PROFIT DRIVEN SYSTEM BEGIN TO COMPETE WITH CHINA, NOT POSSIBLE AND AMERICA HAS A TOTAL POPULATION OF 330 MILLION PEOPLE, WHILE CHINA THROUGH BRICS HAS THE POTENTIAL OF MULTI BILLIONS , AMERICA WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? FAIRLY HARD TO THINK WHEN YOUR IN TOTAL DENIAL AND THATS EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE
Brilliant conversation, round of applause for Ben. ❤
Ben Norton a man to TRUST
100000% a man of high integrity & deep wisdom
Very refreshing to hear about the accurate accounts of US policies as they relate to the rest of the world. Kudos to the guest speaker who has the guts to tell the truth! Please keep up the good work. Americans need to hear more about this! Thank you very much!
China has been advocating to the US for mutual respect, peaceful existence and work for all win-win situations. But the US's envy and fear of China has made it irrational. And the call by the greedy Military Industrial Complex to increase profits, makes the subservient US administration to decide on war with China, Russia.
My advice to the US! Once war started, your enemies i.e. the muslims, extremists, terrorists, your south neighbours, african countries which you had subjugated, the middle-east countries which you have destroyed, etc. will unite to exact revenge on you. The US can easily be infiltrated from the south and north through Canada. You are not exactly isolated by the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
You challenge the United States number one position you will get the war of all wars.
God is watching and karma will follow 🙏 🙌 Peace to the Human Race not just one Race 🙏
This dude is totally fascinating, what an eye opener. We are being manipulated lied to, tricked conned and decieved.and robbed
Yes. All for the White Race.
Ben Norton is my favorite journalist.
Ben has done brilliant work exposing the fatal weakness of neo-liberal, corporate-dominated economics. When corporations exist primarily to enrich shareholders, we see the gutting of every aspect of life. No concern for environmental damage, concerted efforts to lower wages & close small businesses, no money for maintenance of infrastructure or social programs, no innovation for products. Enriching a few at the expense of the majority has got to be a dead-end deal. This system simply MUST END!
Also think about what “exporting inflation” consists of… the US prints money, but then prices rise overseas. The US is using the dollar to loot the World (or redistributing wealth, as conservatives like to say) a process that’s greatly accelerated now that everyone sees the system collapsing. That’s why BRICS is so eager to start a new currency. This wealth isn’t even being fairly shared in the US… of the 5 trillion printed during COVID, half of it increased the net worth of US billionaires.
Yes that’s all correct except that the few hundred warmongering money laundering drug proliferating and arms dealing bankers oilmen and industrialists families will jet themselves to their private islands to play golf and live happily ever after. We have to snatch them from the last corners of the Earth and squeeze every drop of their money out of them and their attorneys and mistresses. Their pain is our gain!
The bankster class is happy to assist you in your utopian solution. CBDC's fully tracked, along with social credit scoring system that track your every purchase and predict your very thoughts. The innovation you're hoping for is to build AI and robots which will take away even more jobs. Rest assured, this probably won't be achieved due to negative feedback in the system doing it's thing.
What do corporations exist for? To make societal change? Hey weirdo, they were made to make money duh
In China corporations are used to enrich the political elite.
China really really needs to increase all its arms production on all fronts especially nuclear weapons.
That's Chinese for you. They seek peace first against a race and culture that seek war to destroy them. It is going to be tough for the Chinese to go against their natural makeup. The Chinese history is one filled with being on the defensive.
Don't worry they. Have. done that for years
@rogerburn5132 Yes. When the US submarine was blown apart at the front, that was as far as the news reporting went.
@@ZhenYae yes you are right 👍👍👍👍
They been doing that. But if they foolishly spend too much they'd make the same mistake the US (and the Soviets) make by overspending on the military. China is already more than capable of taking on the United States but unless they absolutely had to, it would be foolish to do so.
What people need to consider when Ben Norton says we have been waging economic warfare on Venezuela is that the same thing was done in Japan in the late 1930s prior to their "sneak attack". In actuality, a blockade was placed by the US on Japan which is technically an act of war, since US naval forces were used to threaten to sink their merchant ships. This is how we do "business" today. Smedley Butler had it right 90 years ago.
Ben thank you for explaining how democracy works in the US. 👍👍👍
Thanks to Rania and Ben! Love your content on Breakthrough News/Dispatches/Geopolitical Economic Report/Multipolarista!:)
It is admirable to invite Ben to speak. He has an organized mind and his presentations are so accurate because they are based on facts.
We hope to see West asian youth in the future as objective and less emotional, whatever their political affiliations are!
All the best from Egypt...
Ben Norton is truly one of a kind (at least for now) because he has broadest spectra knowledge both historically and contemporary, specially current major global events.
He is also very positively unique simply because he often mentions and shows the sources of his information (at least on his own channel "Geopolitical Economy") so that no dishonest or confused person would later question or deny what he said, which is great.
Thank you both for this video.
I disagree. Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate are very good commenters
@@b.cdrisk2035k
@b.cdrisk2035 I would hazard a guess than Ben and Aran would beat you hands down on history, geo politics and ss logical commentators.
@@benangel3268 You speak English very well
This Administration will ultimately lose on this issue. Apparently our politicians won’t be satisfied until the BRICS ALLIANCE runs circles around us as the majority of the world’s population will take a stand against us.
They won't even be satisfied then. They would drag American citizens and European citizens into the gutters all the way before surrendering.
Too late
Doubtful😂
It’s already happening.
US invaded Vietnam and Syria... What wrong have they done to deserve the invasion, i don't understand. Anyone can tell me what is America's exact reason?
Vietnam was based on a made up attack, so the official narrative is that the war was a retaliation. The Syrian engagement I believe was justified by the same means as the Iraq war, that there is terrorism in the region.
The weapons manufacturer (Military Industrial Complex aka MIC) in US is the cause behind the wars.
American using them as Guinea pigs to test on their bio chemical weapons
It's just power game so become powerful rather than cry.
Suleimani was on the way to negotiate peace with the Saudis. That’s why he was taken out. That was probably the wake up call for both countries.
Yup. And the Americans have their fangs at the throats of the Filipinos and Thais. PNG, which has signed a security treaty with the US, is now also on the radar as the next proxy used against Indonesia and ASEAN. It is white Imperialism. These white people will never change. A blight on humankind
Probably
china is there to pursue them
shake hands
For such a young man, Ben is very well informed. He did place a single word falsely or manipulativelly. It's an honour, just listening to him, triggering many different thoughts..all in positive territory. His overall work is also outstanding. We need more people like Ben now.
As an older person and a Sociologist and Philosopher, who has lived, studied, worked, served in the Airforce, in both East and West, as it has been known in Europe.. there is one recommendation I have to suggest to Ben... You will understand today's world even better, if you went to live, participate in Russian and Chinese societies, over at least for 8 years, in each place. Western understanding of these ancient civilizations which are still at the top of the world, is shockingly bad.. even by people who support these countries.. even by today's native generations. Western propaganda leaks into these countries and creates distorted views everywhere. Henceforth, we need truth tellers like Ben to inform everyone on both sides of East and West. That's what I do in my little way, for 65 years.
All the very best, to both of you, and everyone else who carries a good honest heart, in search for truth and changing an old tired, corrupt west.
even if ur 65...please carry on your work as truth tellers to bridge the gap between East and West....there is preciously few people like you and Ben in this world today...and the world needs everyone of these people to come together and amplify their voice to have any chance to avoid disaster
@@david50665 Thank you dear David. I agree with you, and as part of growing international group, of independent researchers, I have been delivering all I can, for many years. But have drastically increased my research of western propaganda and hate against Russia and China, since 1999.
I gave up paid work and work only from consciousness collected since the 50's. My family tought me that there are more important things than personal financial well-being..and that when following my aim for truth for a better world, all else takes care of itself. I know that I will be working till my last day on Earth. We need to inform people all over the world, and encourage them to change it for the better. Russia, China and all present BRICS, SCO countries and soon joining new member countries are the future. BRICS, SCO and other such organisations will reform or replace the present corrupted UN and all other US dominated 'international' organisations.
I thank all people who stand with truth and building a new, fairer world.
Take good care my friend.
The needs more people like you who have lived in Russia and China to speak out against lies and disinformation.
Be peacemaker rather than warmonger.
God bless you and Ben.
@@mengsiongkheng113tankie
Huh?
It is interesting how this illustrates America's wrong-headed, trouble-making approach to life. China has committed no crime against anyone. They wish to compete fairly with everyone, and we can't accept that. Fairness has left our vocabulary. And sadly, our whole stance looks entirely suicidal.
Hahaha
Time to move out of the west while the currency has some value 😂
at the time usa is on top of the economy, china is cooperating with them, but now that china is rising, usa is eager to destroy china without any reason . USA has have be sportsminded not bitter to another country's success😂😂
@@bill4056a rising power's sign and symptoms are always cooperation with others where as a diminishing power's sign and symptoms is to suppress others. America is an imminent declining diminishing power.
China and the Usa are different in many ways, but they both embrace market capitalism, and when capitalism prosper its at the expense of the masses.
@@Noname-hc5uw the difference is china put brakes on capitalism...USA has none...the recent breakup of Alibaba is prove that china does not allow capitalism to prosper at the expanse of the masses...the west reports this as china bad....but actually this is what needs to be done in USA in order to reverse the decline of the standard of living of the average person since reagan took office in the early 80's
Trump declared a "total economic embargo " on Venezuela. The legal definition of a total economic embargo is a "declaration of war". International law
The worst problem for Washington is that they don't understand the important stuff about the Russian and Slavic cultures, as well as having no idea about the Socialist society of China.
Washington still thinks that China has a Capitalist economy. But that's just for propaganda purposes like..How can a Socialist economy beat American capitalism... Henceforth, let's call it just another form of Capitalism... hahaha.
Russia has kept many of the Soviet Socialist policies..yet Washington claims Russia is fully Capitalist.
Both Russia and China are very different from Washingtons understanding of them.
While the western economies grew by poltry 0.5 to 2.5 percent before February 22, Russian and Chinese economies both grew consistently every year since the year 2000, by 5.5 to 7 percent. And today, in war times, both economies still beat the west, by healthy margins... especially in the most important sectors..high end quality technologies, energy, and mass market production.
The western economies are all getting smaller, consistently every year.. and that trend is here to stay. Germany, the European 'Powerhouse' economy has been in officially declared recession for a year... while the rest of the EU, Japan, S.Korea, and the US have been in undeclared recession for even longer.
Russia economy was supposed to be crushed by the west, the opposite happened.. Russia is doing well while the west is suffering from it's own sanctions on Russia and China. And it gets worse, when we all hear that the west will continue with it's approach to Russia and China, indefinitely. THAT'S WHAT'S KNOW AS A VERY SICK WAY TO RUN ECONOMIC LIFE...in which the public suffers but the rulers get away with the all they can get..and retire on a Caribbean or Pacific seas islands.
I am from India. If I am allowed to be honest without the white man ridicule, I would state the following
1. US economy is based on debt, which is paid for by the rest of the world. If the de-dollarization were to happen, the USA economy will be shy of 8Tn USD , far cry from 24Tn USD as of now.
2. The Chinese economy is not a socialist economy. India practised socialism until 1991 and some leftovers as of now. To some extent American woke policies are socialist. China is a communist Party with economic capitalism geared to only enriching party members, nothing more. They have an elite population of 15 million party members and another 150 extended staff. The real Chinese economy be 6-8Tn USD
3. The anglo british bankers built their wealth off loot from India and opium wealth of China. It's not in their interest to let go of such a mentality and i believe the West needs to be wary of powerful oligarchs within who still pull the strings.
4. India is a black Swan event in this century. Unless the world schmes to pull India down, India can take the top GDP by number by 2035.
Can you see Elensky strolling on the beaches in Miami.
@@ZhenYae Hahaha..but yes.. incognito, or they will shoot him on sight. He has been strolling on Mediterranean beaches though.. incognito of course. Many options in the west for him .. but all ending in same shit life. Money won't get him happiness..but he doesn't know that yet.
It is sad when people push the talking point about China being capitalistic when it has way more socialistic characteristics than capitalistic (though it does have enough of the latter to be considered a mixed economy). Russia is actually more mixed though in that it has quite a few characteristics of both types of systems.
But you are correct, America can't even imagine the idea of Socialism being objectively a better system than Capitalism even when that's reality and the birth of Socialism and Communism was because of the failures of Capitalist systems. Wealthy elites certainly can't imagine it neither.
@drewm9903 To politely tell the White Westerners, Human beings are not savages. Animals have better survival chances when they thrive under collectivism. 5000 years of continuous civilization must mean something.
Their is no need to counter China just be a decent trading partner not an ignorant bully it takes more muscles to frown than smile its our world not your world.
China is doomed ☢️
People are denying the truth because it's not what they want to hear well they can keep their heads in the sand till something bite them in the ass and cause a rude awakening.

I love Ben Norton! Glad to see him back om Breakthrough News yet again
Very good discussion by the both.
I adore u both. If more westerners watched ur content we could’ve changed the world 🌎 many times over by now
Sharing this w everyone u can is how we do the most important work of educating the propagandised focused on culture wars instead of on the vital issues
Lastly, I was just in Spain & in the past wherever I went USD’s were happily accepted if I hadn’t changed currency yet - this was no bueno everywhere in Spain this trip - not a single vendor considered it for a second
Idk but felt like a thing especially cuz the same was true in Italy 🇮🇹
I don't listen to dispatches anymore b/c half the episode is paywalled, but Norton is worth it.
You can also just gt Ben Norton’s own channel “Geopolitical Economy Report”
Great combination. Love both your channels.
I really wish max Blumenthal and Aaron mate would see this. They literally said the other day 'the parties have switched. The Republicans are now the antiwar party."
the peop[le are the party isnt its just as warmongering and xenophobic as the dems
Well they're both right on the fact that the Republicans at least in rhetoric are anti-war Democrats haven't done that in years they're warmongers now unfortunately and so are most Republicans
Anti-war in Ukraine, to fight the PRC.
Tell them about 1950-1953
Any anti-war sentiment is just a way to look contrarian compared to the DNC.
Ben Norton used to work for Blumenthal at the Grayzone, then Norton left a couple years ago due to “a difference of direction”.
This is how real journalism should sound like.
Rania and Ben need to be a guests George Galloway's MOATS!
Very eloquent and important description of Trump phenomenon, debunking the guy as a fraud and a warmonger. Probably being answerable to a different group of oligarchs (oil cartel), hence the grudge against Venezuela and Iran.
Can’t really call Trump a warmonger, since he is the only president within the last 35 or so years to NOT start a war or bloody intervention. Neither is he beholden to other oligarchs.
That said, Trump did have the habit of surrounding himself with the most loathsome advisors imaginable. John Bolton, for example, was the worst pick possible for National Security Advisor.
Few provide clarity like Ben Norton
Great show Rania and Ben
Nato meeting was alwsy about china and to stop china exceptionalism .... America just use Ukraine to get rid of old weapons snd to see how their weapons perform in the field
Be more judicious with the use of Exceptionalism.
@@ZhenYae I was...china is the only exceptional country on the planet...no country has done what china has done...a billion people out of poverty in 40 years , wow ...plus you see their cities and infrastructure,wow wow wow
@house2homeplus511
Exceptional, Yes. Absolutely. This feat, which has never been seen by humankind, is not going to be repeated by another race or civilization.
The next 30 years of moving the poor to the middle class, and the middle class to the elite class will be equally impressive, if not, more so.
Exceptionalism, however, comes with the bad connotation of self-aggrandisement and entitlement, which I hope the Chinese people will not trap themselves in the future.
Leave the idealism of supremacy to the White folk. They know that they, collectively, are racist at heart. Exceptionalism.
@@house2homeplus511 Well no country should ever get high on ego. Look at America as proof of that if nothing else.
Not too knowledgeable on geopolitics I see.
Only when people detach themselves from any partisan interest or any alliance of aggression, they’ll be able to see objectiveness, and see things in their true light.
Ben Norton is doing just that. 👍

I’m so glad China is not going along with Zionism. (In a recent statement) my future home?
China is full and doesn't need migrant. Foreigners who visit and live in China will need to renew their visa every year/2 years.
Welcome all friends to China and stay as long as you want, we have endless hospitality options available for everyone, but China is not a immigrant country. 😁❤
If you have a job in China, you can stay as long as you like. They don’t hand out citizenship easily, but you can probably become a permanent resident once you’ve been there long enough.
China has initiated a new initiative to improve its relationships with overseas Chinese. I understand that by middle of next year, China will issue a new Overseas Chinese passport to all overseas Chinese. This will be a very good news for all overseas Chinese who numbers have reached more than 60 million.
@@fckhaw1189this policy should be discriminatory, that only overseas chinese that contribute to china like how qin dynasty selected talents not murdered qin 😅
Excellent analysis site
The love of war in the US is not really bipartisan because there are not really two parties. As Noam Chomsky has said, "In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to these policies. As is most of the population." Gore Vidal said something similar.
Pround of this present group of young journalists. Ben, Matt, Aaron and others along with great female journalists. Keep it up your work is greatly appreciated.
Russia is living well,so why should China worry anything about US and NATO?
China doesn't want to have war bcs it will destroy china progress after century of humiliation
Why is America worried about China? China have no military bases surrounding the US? While the US has over 400 military bases surrounding and threatening China 24/7.
LOL yeah right.
US just got bitter on China raising. That's it, that why they will do anything to stop CHINA but they fail so freaking hard😂
Then we will take it all the way to nuclear war and we will all die together how about that?
Love the truth that you bring in your videos!
Well done! You explained the complex issues with the clarity!! We live in a time of WAR AND PEACE
We need truth!
While that are busy being antagonistic to the neighbours, they neglect to maintain their own house.
What goes up will ultimately come down. These happened to all past great powers. US is no exception and will suffer the same fate as USSR in next 30 to 50 years' times. India will end up like Ukraine if it did not play its card well.

Trump installed America's candidate in the DRC. The Catholic Church independent tally of the presidental vote in 2018 showed that the opposition leader won and Trump said that he was declared as president the DRC would be invaded. Trump said that he would spend special forces to Gabon just in case.

The chemistry between you two is so complimentary since you are on par with one another intellectually that I found myself laughing hysterically it was so funny. I think it was Mark Twin who said the best approach to getting people's attention in terms of discussing serious subjects is through humor. You two looked like stand up comics, although I suspect that wasn't the reaction you intended to receive from any of your viewers.. Its just that the U.S. is so F . . . d up you can't help but laugh.

If you asked 1,000 Chinese which is a sure thing, winning a conventional war against the US or entering the next men’s football World Cup Final, 990 will pick war.
But before saying that definitely 999 of them will ask
"Are there no other things can be done to prevent the war? Are there nothing can be done so US and China can have win-win solution?"
Haha not funny
Agree, China would win a conventional war against U$. U$ has becomes a paper tiger.
Chinese people are not THAT into sports fyi
Is the WORLD CUP FINAL that important?
I mean the Chinese are top 3 in the Summer & Winter Olympics.
That your comment could also be reversed ask 1,000 americans which is a sure thing, invading China OR getting into the finals of the world cup, 1,000 americans will say "invade China"
Great program as always 🔥👍👏

The most frightening thing about the turmoil that is consuming the US is that down the road, as the frustration of the impoverished and embittered US middle class comes to a boil, the classic outcome would be for them to embrace a STRONG MAN who'll promise them TO RESTORE THE ERSTWHILE HEGEMONY of the US. At that point, the world could awaken in horror to the emergence of a belligerent nation led by an autocrat.

The pinnacle of hegemonic power is the road to destruction. History of great empires have collapsed as the result of this excessiveness of unbalanced potentiality.
Yin & Yang co-create each other.
USA has passed it's glorious days. Now got to learn to be No2. If only USA and China and Russia and. India can work together, the world will be a much better place.
The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have. I have a happy mood to learn.
I’ve made many videos teaching Chinese in a humorous way.
About 3000 Chinese characters cover 99% characters in newspapers and books. From my previous videos you can learn more than 400 common characters.
There are about 120 commonly used Chinese character radicals. From my previous videos, you can learn more than 80 basic radicals.
I’ve spent about 100,000 hours studying English humor and Western culture, and many years studying Chinese culture and jokes. My native language is Chinese.
From my perspective, there is a rough road ahead for the US with the selling off of its treasuries by countries. This may cause hyperinflation.

Geesh! You know the United States presidential bar is low when they compare trump to other presidents.
