It is always such an honour to be hearing from Professor Desai. I much respect your academic knowledge and radiancy.

My favorite historian!

Everybody already knows the US’s propaganda playbook: Hire an Asian woman “reporter” to tell lies about China as if that would make the lies the US spreads about China more believable! She could be Japanese or Vietnamese, it doesn't matter as long as she looks Chinese! Notice she speaks perfect English and more than likely born and raised in the US and has been brainwashed by the US mainstream media herself about how great the USA is despite the fact that the US has started nearly all of the wars in the world since WW2 and has killed millions of people throughout the world! In one such anti-China propaganda show an independent journalist revealed how Fox News associates were rehearsing an Asian woman “reporter” on the lines that she was supposed to deliver once the cameras were focused on her! Afterwards, she asked them how she did and they all congratulated her on a job well done! They loved how passionate she looked and sounded when she delivered her lies about China! She did it with so much drama and power, they thought she was so convincing! That is how the US mainstream media covers politics about other countries, especially about China! It’s basically tabloid news, only about other countries instead of about celebrities and UFO’s and the consequences are much more serious for the entire world!

Wtf 😂 Long story short: Eloquent people trying to make the listeners think Ukraine has no right to determine its own future, the West is the source of all evil and Russia know best #propaganda #Putin #Putinists

'Think tank", also known as "sellout", Bernays in action

One way to introduce working people to Marxism without dumbing it down too much, is simply to say it’s about workers taking power by and for themselves. Anything else is not Marxism

Karaganov is an absolute AH. He lives in a parallel world of lies, agression, death, nihilism, sheer chauvinism and terror, just as Lavrov, Putin, Peskov and so many others. And they're instilling all these lies to the russian population and worse, to the children and youth. It's a total disaster and it's outrageous. It's not the West waging war against Russia, it's Russia waging war against Ukraine and also against the west. Karaganov admitted: it's a WAR. And Putin started it (it was a very clear message on TV on 24 feb 2022). Karaganov also admitted: they want to grab as much territory of Ukraine as possible. He is unable to define any other "victory". But Karaganov is a complete idiot as well. He says the war brought immense benefits (ok, admitted, for some elites like him). But for Russia as a whole, this war is a total disaster, the economy is on the brink of collapse. Thanks to the war economy and massive propaganda they somehow manage to make the Russians and even some idiots in the west believe that things are shiny in Russia. But those of us who know how things really are in Russia, we have our popcorn ready and leaning back, eager to watch the show.

Thank you so much for bringing Mr. Karaganov to us in the West!

What a disgrace for sakwa

What I really don't like about this kind of discussions is the outrageous arrogance of self-appointed Academia professors , both from Liberal, Conservative and Communist background play the role Prophets. It so arrogant to pretend to be "Think Tanks", as if ordinary people as brainless idiots. The real problem, however, is not with the ordinary people, who have healthy common sense, but with the Politicians world wide who position themselves as Elite. There is no West, there is no East, there are people who want to live in peace, but the Elitist Groups worldwide don't want lasting peace, for they are reaping all kind of profits during the war. Russian Civilization is much more spiritual, sophisticated and peace loving than Mr. Karaganov portrays. It's quite understandable why he plays"hawk", because of the deepest disappointment with the radicalization of the leftist Academia "think tanks" and their destructive agenda that has resulted in the Ukrainian crisis. He is talking as a deeply disillusioned person. However, there is no hate towards the western people in general. And it's really important that he fully understands the grim lessons in the Soviet system as well. I hope Mr. Karaganov and other Political Consultants will not forget to align their vision of the future with the vision of the peoples. Peoples lives matter.

I thoroughly appreciate this video but have to listen a few x due to the heavy accent

Holders of the highest offices in Western countries are suffering from the same problem men unable to adjust to feminism, white people unable to adjust to racial equality, and heterosexual people unable to adjust to gay rights experienced when historic transformations in sexual, racial, and gender relations occurred, namely chauvinism. Letting go of illegitimate power, particularly for individuals inculcated from youth with the assumption that social life is organized on the basis of dominance and subordination - and that they belong to the dominant class - requires a fundamental change in one's understanding of oneself, other people, and the world. This is hard for an individual conditioned to associate admitting having made a mistake with being ridiculed, attacked, or shunned, and doubly difficult for one who confuses condescension with respect. Five hundred years of colonialism, 75 years of dollar hegemony, and 35 years of unipolarity have created a class of incompetent, arrogant, and extremely dangerous fools who wield anachronistic power as a consequence of an expired pedigree. The world has moved on, but power in the West remains in the hands of a class for whom power still means "over" in a world in which power now means "to."

At 16.50 he is wrong about Libertarian being more centralized...maybe so in this fiat debt based money system but that isnt libertarian at all. In a hard miney standard there is a much better distribution of poqer and resources however you cant just immediately change economic systems and hope with a few years for things to have changed. There needs to be long term planned changes. But qith the current political system that is nearly impossible

Def right about the parasitic financialization rent seeking economy

The US didn't bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki to save American soldiers. They did it to make a point to the Soviet Union. The Japanese High Command did not bother to call a meeting of the war cabinet when the first bomb was dropped nor did they when the second one was dropped! Over 95% of Japanese cities had already been reduced through conventional bombs so, another two cities made no difference and neither did these atomic bombs destroy the entire city unlike conventional fire bombing which was terrifying. What scared the Japanese was the fact, the Soviet Union had reached Manchuria and were preparing to cross over into Hokkaido. The Japanese immediately called a war cabinet and decided to surrender to the Americans bec they feared the wrath of the Soviets given the mass atrocities perpetrated by the imperial Japanese troops on Chinese, Korean and Soviet soil. There was a flurry of radio traffic picked up by the US about the imminent Soviet invasion rather than the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki! In fact, Douglas MacArthur played this fact against the Japanese very often when negotiating knowing full well how terrified the Japs were of Soviet retribution. As the old joke goes - the Japanese consider themselves the White men of Europe which drives a lot of the imperial ambition in the East. Japanese elites have been enamored by the British nobility due to the British Empire and aspired to be a similar power in the East. They adore the martial themes of Greco-Roman culture that forms the basis for Western imperialism & which to them serves as a guide for how strong nations are supposed to be.

This is an adult discussion by a mainstream Russian intellectual. Now compare this to any insttn in the West!?

Easy for an elderly man to embrace total war …

Thank you for bringing this important Russian intellectual..

Man? More russ died than ukrs? Full stop. This man is an idiot.

Excellent analysis and conversation deeply rooted in high quality moral conscience.

Agree, although a better microphone (non-reverberating) would help. Or cc with each video. Excellent and vital discussion; thanks for posting.

Indeed, we have been waiting for a new Russian foreign policy for so long, if I can at least speak for myself. And indeed, its a field of rubble left by the WEST, which, as Karaganov says about the institutions, must be completely rebuilt. This time, however, with the moral compass in the hands of Russia - the real victorious power of the last world war... And that really requires a total victory if humanity is to have a future.

VERY STIMULATING INTELLECTUAL DISCUSSION. THANK YOU ALL.

Greetings from 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Karaganov is basically a historic anti-communist that has the sense to bend (!) with developments. In truth, of no interest at all and I'm disappointed that Manifesto Group gives any credence to intellectually bankrupt Valdai group. Perhaps Manifesto Group is 'bending'?

A dangerous person, no doubt as intelligent as he has definately insane. Mad animals are put down. As should these groups of maniacs.

Okay I'm fucking done here. This "as long as it's anti-american it must be good" stance overshadows any Marxist analysis you people supposedly have. Completely disgusting having this fucking nationalist war-hawk on with no push back. Let's just get Putin on here and congratulate him on his heroism. Fucking embarrassment for Marxists everywhere. I'm sick of this shit 👋

Very Interesting interview. At times, I cannot understand what he is saying mainly because of his accent.

Ben your the bests

🇵🇸✌️❤️

Excellent conversation. For many years professor Karaganov was the "soul" of the Valdai Discussion Club, which invited even the most anti-Russian Western experts and politicians to various Russian regions, trying to show them that Russia was a peaceful country not intent on any war. But they viewed it as a sign of weakness - and acted. Now professor Karaganov is talking to the hostile Western newsmakers in a different way. And they accuse him of "changing his opinion." It was them who changed, not him.

Communism didnt destroy the soviet union.Corruption, wrong decisions, And Gorbachov selling out to consumerism.There was no road map to follow. Plus the west waged a total war on the soviet union stopping its developement and progress. Its the only way forward for humanity.

This is some gaslighting bullshit
