In this podcast, we talk to former US Ambassador Charles Freeman about who controls US foreign policy. We start with his provocative claim that Israel is not a US ally and his argument that Israel has been a liability for the US instead of an ally. We asked him what factors influence the trajectory of US foreign policy. We then discuss Israeli atrocity in Gaza placing the conflict in the larger politics of the Middle East. We also asked him about the divisions within the Arab and the Islamic world in the Middle East. We also discussed the West's continued hostility to Russia. Freeman argues that Europe should build its own defense system and become independent from the US. We feared this would further widen the asymmetry between the West and the Global Majority. Freeman denied it because he argued that the long-term domination of countries in the Global South with military force is more or less over. Finally, we concluded by asking what made him empathetic to people, despite being a high official within the US state. He said that realpolitik must have moral limits.

Hamas funded via a 3rd party in by US/Israel in order to use their actions to continue the genocide they started 76 years ago! The regions including Palestine's oil and gas can bring them a lot of money, their god!

[@uptownbayarea6068]

What were his positive contributions to tame Israel when he was in active duty as a diplomat?

[@Jean-rg4sp]

@@uptownbayarea6068 Chas Freeman was never a diplomat in Israel. Ambassadors are the spokespeople for their governments and are therefore limited in what they can do. He learned the importance of empathy for the people where he worked in China and Saudi Arabia. Since his retirement, he can speak his own mind which is a fount of understanding and wisdom.

[@Polit_Burro]

LOL Curtis LeMay is one. Look him up sometime. As foro this narrative: It's garbage. The USA doesn't need to "learn" how to bomb civilians from anyone. Do look up Curtis LeMay tho. If you need another clue, search for "north Korea bombing" and "civilians" with the name "LeMay"

[@user-xj4qg6mc9u]

I agree with Mr Freeman for a lot of things but not about Europe. As a French woman, I can tell you we feel America as a burden that keeps us in the state a colony. And the Yougoslavian crisis was not our responsability but America's. We would be delighted if America would let us deal with ourselves and stop interfering with our politicians. Actually, we're dying because of American hegemony through the European Union. Don't consider Poland and France have the same interrests, for example. There is no such thing as European interrests as a whole.

Thank God that the world still has people like Mr Freeman with clear and disinterested thoughts and views about such a subject that remained a toboo till after October 7th. Thanks a lot great man and history will register those personalities who have been impartial in their analysis and discourse on the hamas/Israel bloody colonial war.

[@josephdibello846]

Really like and respect Chas Freeman. But regarding the conflict in Ukraine and apropos of his statements at the end of the interview regarding interest and values, I think it apposite to state that the Ukrainians have a strong interest in independence, imbued by the values of self -regard and self-respect,. This is true regardless of the “meddling“ of, western powers and missteps by NATO. Chas of all people should know of the deep repression of Eastern Europe by the Soviet Union. This historic memory infuses the resistance and sacrifices of the Ukrainians and other European people. Putin desires Russian expansion. As a nuclear armed state it was under threat from no one. Yes, the West has egg on its face, just as it did, to a much greater degree, when it imposed a reparations regime on Germany after World War I.

[@roboldx9171]

"Five or six hundred thousand Israelis have emigrated since October 7th, and these are people of conscience. If they come here that is our gain. It is Israel's loss". US Ambassador Chas Freeman is the voice we all need to hear in these trying times.
