A Conversation with Fiona Hill and Robert Tsai

A discussion of Fiona Hill's new book, There is Nothing for You Here: Finding Opportunity in the Twenty-First Century.

[@krissipowell9358]

Thanks Fiona for clarity, knowledge and getting to know you.

Respect this lady so much. Amazingly informative especially in such a timely matter as Putin. Thank you ❤️

Fiona Hill, is fantastic! (She, can talk). Robert Tsai, is perfect as well, letting her talk and never interrupting. Great presentation.

@@SCORP1ONF1RE let me help you, someone with no extra commas and mysterious infect IN ALL CAPS instead of a normal human name. So here we go. Correcting grammar and punctuation in KZbin comments is so rude, it boarders on laughable.

@@SCORP1ONF1RE and one more correction to the perfectly schooled infect….. Liking your own comment first is also a very poor taste. Now go ahead, go elsewhere and correct somebody else.

@@LenkaSaratoga It's not rude. Some people's comments are practically incomprehensible because they don't understand punctuation. They need to be notified.

Yes, can you imagine CONGRESS during, say, Supreme Court nominee hearings, NOT INTERRUPTING. They could take a lessons from Tsai. Not that they ever will.

40:58 This section is so important right now that it deserves to be transcribed. Dr. Hill: "Russia always goes with 'whataboutism.' 'Oh, the United States you know, intervened in Iraq in 2003.' That was a huge mistake. We shouldn't have done it, but, we didn't annex Iraq. We went into Afghanistan and the Russians kind of, sort of, understood that they'd been there before as well, but we didn't annex Afghanistan. We've intervened in Haiti and Panama and Nicaragua and, yes, yes, yes, yes, but we have not ANNEXED any of them. And Turkey went into Cyprus in 1974, and Turkey has not annexed northern Cyprus. Again, all of these multiple wrongs don't make a right. And I don't think that what Russia is doing holds up in International Law. The implications are beyond what the United States has done or didn't do. They're beyond the Cold War. This is now very firmly in that case of international precedent, because what Russia is doing is not any kind of push-back either by us or other countries, and it opens up a Pandora's Box, not only for Europe and European security but on a global basis." "This is why this is so risky and it's why Putin is trying to throw us off with his 'look over here,' with these kinds of issues, getting us all bogged down in what NATO should have done or shouldn't have done in the 1990s. It does not excuse going back and trying to carve up Ukraine."

Incredibly coherent statement. Well said

[@blank_white_paper_revolution]

Totally agree!👏

Durham is coming

[@anonyarena]

@@zakobruce Yeah, Durham is coming, where have we hear that one before? Just like Bill Barr was coming to "lock up" Hillary. Just like Sidney Powell was coming and bringing her "Kraken" with her. Just like Giuliani was coming with his "star witness" Mellissa Carone. Just like Lin Wood was coming with "evidence" provided by the My Pillow guy who he then turned around and said was being "played" by the Deep State. Yeah, they keep on "coming" and bringing nothing with them. Don't you get tired of being taken for a ride? Especially, when it's the same ride to nowhere, every single time?

[@cmasseylynch]

According to one estimate by a Russian economist, as many as 200,000 Russians have left their country since the start of the war in Ukraine, with more than 25,000 alone arriving in Georgia since Russia's invasion

So many phrases you said are features of typical manipulators: 1) "what's mine is mine & what's yours is mine", 2) moving goal posts, 3) take whatever you demand and everyone else is to comply without consent or consideration, etc.

[@magsbrowne9693]

I also find Fiona Hill very interesting and smart. But I feel sad that she thinks being a hospital porter 'just pushing patients around every day' is less important than being a miner. I've been pushed around by a hospital porter at my lowest ebb and have been entertained by the craic and humour of a hospital porter who lifted me out of the hell I was in and made me laugh. We all serve a purpose. There is honour in the lowest employment. I apologise if I've gotten this wrong. 💕

[@douglas2lee929]

I Did not hear her say SHE felt that way about him, but that OTHERS attached a lower value to the job. I doubt Miss Hill felt badly about it. I think her genius brain was fully functioning even when she was an adolescent. I love Fiona. One of the smartest people I've ever seen. Also stunningly beautiful. And the accent makes me swoon. I am available for marriage, Fiona. 😄

[@douglas2lee929]

Mags Browne I wish you well, sounds like you are doing better now.

[@texaslass7]

Fiona was explaining the ranking of occupations in the culture of far NE England. And she was spot on. My mum was born and raised in Newcastle-on-Tyne, the major city a wee bit northeast of County Durham. I have visited Newcastle often and lived there for a summer. That's how I know Fiona is right.

I have to contradict Fiona I believe people voted for Brexit because they wanted sovereignty and make their own laws!

[@AlvaSudden]

Or whatever the Russian propaganda was at the time.

[@kmadvisor8775]

EU nations do make their own laws ... at issue, is which EU agreements, specifically, does a nation NOT want to carry on, why, and what laws that break existing agreements might be proposed to replace them? As the UK was instrumental in the creation of and strongly influential in the EU, Brexit is a gob-smacking illustration of the art of manufactured consent.

[@englandcalling9721]

People voted for Brexit because they believed it came with little to no financial cost. The right to set our own trading terms, ignores the right of the EU to reject them. Also, Brexit ignored its impact on the UK's workforce. It's one thing, freeing up jobs for UK citizens, it's another to fill those jobs with UK citizens, at the wages previously paid to EU migrants.

[@44bett]

Let's not forget, after the dissolvement of the USSR/Warsaw Pact in the 90's, the Russian people were promised no NATO troops would be stationed on their border. Today, some 28 NATO countries aggressively surround Russia. In the last 200 years, Western powers like Britain, France, Germany and the US have invaded Russia. Since around 2010, Ukraine has had a neo NAZI problem in its police, military and government. Remember the police would not allow Africans, Asians and other people of color to use transport to leave the war torn cities - only white, blue eye people. Also NAZI military units have killed thousand in the ethnic Russian Donbass region. the Ukraine government, with NAZIs in key position, sadly control the President and won't obey him. For over 25 years. Russia has pleaded no more NATO counties on its border, but the US and its neocons arrogant dismissively them. This is a national security issue for the Russian people, and with US trained and equipped extremist in the Ukraine military and government - the Russian had to move in. Ukraine should join European neutral nations like Austria, Sweden and Switzerland - Go Neutral!

[@bryntnjal9446]

"Aggressively?" NATO exists solely to defend not to attack, and never was it more necessary.
