This is what our national media should be doing inviting experts like Bremmer and having a good conversation not yelling in high pitch and covering half of the screen with ads.
it is sad that not many people viewed this video. i listened Bremmer on ORF hosting discussion at world economic forum annual meeting with Samir saran. This is good Shekhar
did this we need more of these with experts like him
It's not important that many people viewed, its important that those who viewed and liked should become paid members to support this kind of journalism.
@@suraj0730 it is important how many people viewed, how many people learned something. yes one should help this type of journalism. So basically you are saying this get limited to few people?? In india we know more than half population watch those crazy anchors fighting, yelling, not making any sense type shows on national security etc they do not even talk about the world and do we want our people to become that arrogant or stupid, angry people watching those news??? if more people watch this or print in general print
will automatically get more membership and people will get unbiased, quality journalism
@@TGill22 As much as I understand at least you like the print journalism. Please take a paid membership.
@@suraj0730 Right now i can't. Maybe after 3month. what is the membership fee??

Thank you, Shekharji. The kind of 'Off The Cuff' we look forward to. Lots of food for thought.
Hi Barnali,
Thanks for the appreciating our journalism.
I am a fan of Ian Bremmer. He’s a brilliant man who helps me understand the world better. I never miss an opportunity to listen to Ian. Thanks for this interview. It was very enlightening. I was glad that he called BS on the question that was mostly conspiracy theory. Too many Indian harbour such nonsensical theories because they simple refuse to see Russia as the aggressor.
If too many Indians believe Russia is not the aggressor
Then there must be some truth in it
Not like what western media peddle to their gullible public
Propaganda in the garb of news
Baldy stick to what you know...hope sleepy Joe pays you well..🥱😂🤡💯🇮🇳🇷🇺
@@poornalingam6261 Wow. You actually live up to your name. You really are a complete dick.
Good job. Enjoyed the talk immensely
Hi Ramesh,
Thank you for the appreciation!
Very insightful. Ian is very articulate.
would suggest to bring such programs more. thanks
Will come back to this in 2024 and see how things have turned out
Good perceptions from Mr. Bremmer. This unique off the cuff is great.
Hi Mr Vish,
Thanks a lot for tuning in.
Didn't have the time to catch this earlier, but thanks for taking in the question
Ian is really good at his craft. True thought leader with amazing perspective. Glad to hear him. And at the same time, would suggest that his demeanor seems to reek of hubris, and he seems to praise himself (which again supports my point). He might do well to incorporate a little humility or graciousness in his behavior.
The hubris you are inferring is a culture gap.
Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Ian made some really good points. But the finest point has to be when he compares the Politics of China vs. America and the correlation that has to Economic strength. The dollar is stronger while the Chinese economy is over-leveraged and weakening. The CCP allowed their party members to waste money on speculative real estate creating a bubble. Therefore, checks and balances were not enforced on cheap loans, that may default. Politics and cronyism are very dangerous in all countries around the globe. Huge Power in the hands of a few will always lead to disaster. Such as the 2008 financial crisis, Iraq/Afghan wars, Trump Administration, Putin, and even Brexit.
His levelheaded reporting and lack of bias makes Shekhar the perfect journalist. Love his programs.
Excellent conversation. Loved the Energy levels and transparency in conversation
Hi Ghanashyam,
Thanks for the appreciation!
@@ThePrintIndia Do you know how anti-India this bremmer guy is?
Eg He made predictions that Indians will all die in COVID.
He's mocking shekhar right from the beginning.
4:24 He's mocking Indians.
V informative. Fan of both
This is a terrific interview: very insightful and very forthright.
One word.....Brilliant.
I have been long term follower of Ian , great conversation great insight
Ian Bremmer is my favorite geo-political commentator.
This guy is not quite as good to be honest.
Do you know how anti-India this bremmer guy is?
Eg He made predictions that Indians will all die in COVID. I
Right in this prog at 4:24 , he's mocking Hindus.
@@kpp2941 Yes. I agree. I was surprised too.
Ian Breman is amazing. I am considerably enriched, intellectually. Thank you Shekhar 🌷🌷
No, he has establishment view points which he regurgitates. Peter Zeihan is a far better geopolitical analyst
He's nothing but a Chinese shill, hes wrong about mostly everything. The fact that he goes out of his way to defend "a totalitarian hellhole like China" is all you need to know.
@@tamberlame27 Exactly! Peter Zeihan makes his predictions on what the analytics tell him. Ian Bremmer makes his predictions on what he wants to see happen.
The crossover we needed
This guy is just brilliant.
Great discussion with Ian Bremmer. He has unique and clear opinions on world affairs. One of the best Off the Cuff.
Hi Prashanth,
Thanks for your support!
Mr. Bremmer is uniquely qualified...thanks Shekharji for bringing him. I think Trump might change the US-European relationship ( pressuring for compromise) vis his love for Putin!!
Hi,
Thanks for writing in!
Imagine waking up and realizing you're still Ian Bremmer?
***shudder***
What a living hell this hack must live through everyday.
I remember India and USA had tension over raw materials for medicines and some medicines but when did incident of India asking American for vaccine happen? Didnt we use Oxford vaccine?
Great discussion, National tv news channels should learn to bring such programmes on tv
Interesting discussion, open and unbiased with broad worldview and perspective.
Really..lol..American pro war propagandist in full swing...💯😂
Fact ✌🏻
This one of the best editions of Off the Cuff - Keep it up Prof. Shekhar Gupta. Please try bring on Mark Mobius (emergeing Markets investment Guru) next time in Off the Cuff.
Are you Odia?
@@alokswaincontact Odia origin. but born and brought-up in Kolkata, West Bengal
EU should forget NATO and sign its own peace agreement with Russia. If this happens, the crises will blow over.
That’s a bit hard to do when Europeans dis-invested so much on their military that they are incapable of defending themselves without the US. The reality is that most Americans think that it’s ridiculous for the US to defend the geopolitical interests of Europe considering how wealthy and advanced most of these nations are. The war in Ukraine should have been handled by the Europeans with backup from the US.
After this Ukraine war, Russia is no more a superpower. Russia’s clock is turned back at least 30 years. Why would EU, an Economic entity would commit to such a blunder
@@deccanheart: I hope you remember that in Afghanistan, even after 20 years, America had to run with its tail between its Legs. Should we say America is also not a Superpower? Is the EU not being manipulated by America today? Russia and the EU can overnight resolve their differences if America stays out of it.
I hope The Print brings on Peter Zeihan someday.
Finally I get to tell Print, that's a good mike your guest is using! Just compare the two Shekhar ji. 😂 Go get one too
Good interview - pls bring more such informed persons on the show
Hi Abishek,
Thanks for the appreciation and your valuable suggestion.
What about Peter Zeihan? This interview makes me REALLY value Zeihan’s takes over Bremmer’s.
Shekar ji good questions ✅
Ian Bermmer Analysis = Biased & Non Scholarly
Biased how? Non-scholarly how? His firm gets hired by all kinds of global corporations for consultancy. How is he non-scholarly?
Please also read/view of prof.John Mearshimer,Joseph Nye ,Kenneth Waltz ...these "Realist/Neo liberal" scholars put things into perspective as they are and not as they want which was the case with Bermmer...Analysis should be dispassionate and objective ...You cannot and should not do the scholarly work with Ideological mindset lest you will fit things in your own narrative rather than giving out the true picture ...His analysis of why russsi did what it did is biased lopsided and holds no water on the anvil of "Power theory"
‘What aboutism’ is what Ian was saying Shekhar
Group of Zeros lol good one
Here you go Shekhar: “Whataboutism is the definition of cognitive dissonance creating insanity in people”
It’s time to now bring Sam Harris on an OTC! Also, it would be an interesting conversation if Ian and John Mearsheimer got together 😂
I would like to hear him and Peter Zeihan have it out 1on1, without Sam Harris. They respect each other but they disagree on a lot of things. Over the last 10 years Peter has been right more than Ian.
Ian lacks credability. Too many occasions of fantastical claims that turn out to be half truths. His modest self discription drips of ego.
He is no Henry Kissinger.
A few days back I posted a comment on some channel that the solution will be the one predicted by Ian at 19:05 -
Crimea to Russia & rest back to Ukraine.
He bypassed NATO question
Yes he did. My guess is that the idea that Russia invaded Ukraine because of NATO enlargement is so laughably false to most Americans long frustrated with European Allies that were failing to invest in their own defense, that it’s just not taken very seriously.
No, this invasion was not to defend Russia from a strong and threatening NATO. It’s not hard to find out for your selves just how seriously weak the military capabilities of Europeans were and this continues to be true. It will take years of investment for this to change. So it’s really funny to claim that Russia had to invade Ukraine in order to defend itself.
Also keep in mind that the US was annoyed with the Europeans because it wanted to reduce its presence in Europe even further by shifting more of the responsibility to the Europeans. Why? The US wants to focus on China and the Info-Pacific area.
This war was needed by Putin to beat the drum of Russian imperialism and boost his hold on power. Of course it hasn’t worked out too well.
Need like this 1 from a Russian representative
#theprint
It is “What-about-ism” for Putin to cite U.S. actions in Iraq and the run-up to it, but in Ian Bremmers own words, “It matters when the Americans don’t do the right thing”(yes he was talking about india/vaccines, but we know it also applies here). If we have zero reparative action or even any slight gesture towards what happened after 911, we can only wonder if we could have made this quite a bit less politically plausible for putin to take such angles on the world after Our blunder. Albright wasn’t totally wrong that we are indispensable and exceptional, and we now relearn it means we have to set a higher bar again.
They get along as two peas in a pod
Analysis of Mr Brammer, hummm
Indians are prone to behave naively, and hence forget that everything is fair in love & war. Never always dismiss the uncomfortable as 'conspiracy', though some things are better unsaid.
Please do an off the cuff with Pranoy Roy or Ravish kumar
Cognitive dissonance, that was a good one, but would anybody dare to put US presidents and its generals on trials for war crimes in Iraq as much as Putin and his cohorts should be put in. If that happens then the cognitive dissonance among countries would subside to an extent. Its a good thing to put what-aboutism into a category of such dissonances but human rights violations cant be selective. Its universal and if US has violated it then its leaders should be put on trial as much as any other leaders.
“Europe has to grow out of the mindset that Europe's problems are the world's problems but the world's problems are not Europe's problems.” Now, it seems the invasion of Ukraine by Putin is India's problem. Just look at how hopeless the Indian military purchases from Russia have become--billions wasted.
@Anupam Srivastava Are you sure the CIA is legitimate? We just need to look at how many Russian tanks were knocked out by the Ukrainians with hand held weapons. That is a lot of money India has wasted Russian tanks! How about those Russian jets? Putin must be laughing at India being his biggest client! Not only that, there are so many Indians bowing to him, despite the crimes against humanity he is now known for. What a sad time in South Asia.
man... this dude has his head in the clouds. Hard to figure if his narrow geopolitical perspectives and selective exclusion of facts are the result of just plain ignorance or if he is playing to an agenda.
Exactly my thoughts. This fellow comes across more as an American apologist bordering on racist. Don’t know why SG hypes this fellow so much. There are far more balanced and mature political analysts.
You didn’t like how he said it, or you didn’t like what he said
Or… Did you want him to say something that is inline with your, and he didn’t
He's said nothing new; all what he's talked is part of general public discourse
Just pushing the official pov in his style
Playing an agenda. Same old crap plus engineering a hit job on Elon Musk. I guess he’ll repeat the same on multiple platforms till the message starts to sound coherent.
If only Shekhar can stop interrupting, one can try hearing him.
FUCK is a common word. why do you guys mute it like typical conservative media ? i thought online media was more transparent
19:00-21:00 Cope.
Ian Bremmer is worth listening to.
Shekhar looks too stern and stoic ! Lol
I guess Ian will eat humble pie when this war dust settles (wrt Russia). And SG, it is a pathetic hit job on Elon Musk. This entire conversation walks a popular scripted political line without any fresh perspectives.
True..just look at western sponsors in this channel... 🤑🤑🤑
Shekhar you will be well advised not to invite such arrogant pricks on your show. He acted as if he was doing you a favor by talking with you.
Agree completely.
SG is mature enough to discern a person with ego. They seem to have a very collegial relationship
But he is doing Shekhar a favor, Ian bremmer is a far more respected name than Shekhar gupta around the world
@@darainmathur2309 we don’t need such favors. Ian ca go scratch.
Only interested in showing other mistakes but not interested in global climate change challenge
Wow, typical arrogant American. “I’m not angry”, he says, frothing at the mouth. Uses the F word because Rao asked him an unpalatable question. And why is great Shekhar Gupta so extra supplicant?
This guy got triggered with the NATO expansion question, lol.
Please invite Col. MacGregor in the show. You will get a different picture . It is too much one sided and statements put in without any backing facts..
Ian bremer is an overconfident motormouth. When he tries to assert his superiority he looks like even more fool.
Vote out the Woke in November 2022!!
Ian Bremmer is a great ... snake oil salesman.
He is one hell of an arrogant fellow
Well we all know about american brashness and arrogance. But he speaks some sense. You should read his book. This guy really knows his stuff.
@@ashishmaharana5865 So he skipped over the most important question of the NATO expansion and went on a rant.
born as white ,,,, full of wokeness
Print = Taleban
fence sitter
uhh.. what a waste of 50min 😞
You could have left watching after 5 mins. If you watched all 50 mins, it wasn't a waste per definition.
What a waste of time.
Sorry, Ian! India is not the leader of the Global South. It is not even the leader of South Asia! Or, Southeast Asia, for that matter, let alone the Middle East. India is not well regarded in Africa either, with Indian business being rather racist, with the diaspora aloof from locals... India has economic weight, but it has no ideas of leadership, as it is solely focused on short term gains in a transactional manner. To be a global leader it needed to have stopped Putin cold, very early, before the invasion of Ukraine, by saying that the Global South does not want more expenses on food and oil due to war. Instead India abstained, beholden to Putin, thinking he was ideologically like the USSR.
True, thinking short term is not what world powers do....and staying neutral and than siding with the winner is a begger-mentality
@@matthiaspizzini8010 oooh white people are dying, everybody better take moral stand! There conflicts all over the world but west never cared those now that conflict is in your backyard world should line up behind you? India is better off without pointless ideas of leadership. In our time of need nobody lifts a finger unless its in their interest and now give us talks about morality?
