I think people from less advanced countries don't understand the concept of power struggle. Or at least they pretend not to understand it no matter their illustrious heritage of philosophy. The concept of power struggle is inherent to life itself and extends into every other activity carried out by living beings from bacteria to humans if they are to be considered at the top. To live is to struggle for power, that is paraphrasing Buddha. Once you accept that REALITY then you need to face this question about which I am going to be blatantly open because I am sick of these pseudo "intellectual" arguments, be they out of ignorance or deliberate propaganda: If it is not the US that you think is screwing you then the rules of the power struggle DICTATE that there will always be some other country that will be the top dog and screwing you, unless you are the top dog yourself like the delusions that India has. Even then you will be screwed by your own government because that is the nature of power struggle. This is why everyone from Scandinavians all the way down to the destitute population of Congo complains about their governments. So, just imagine a country that is headed by an ultranationalist like Modi who commits genocide of Muslims, blatantly on a pretty frequent basis, or where women are gang raped on public buses, and no one, even the police will intervene and the explanation of the authorities is "boys will be boys" becoming the top dog instead of the US. The US is no angel but imagine you were not being screwed by the US but by India or Russia? Are you going to think that anyone is stupid enough to believe that you prefer to be screwed by either of those countries instead of the US? So, stop this nonsense. At the moment this is the best available and while I totally agree that the US is shamefully far from perfect but then again like the famous beggars of Kolkata you can't be choosers. Maybe, even from the anthropological point of view that is why the US is the top dog. If you look at apes' society it is not just dominance that determines who is going to head the group. After all, females have a strong say in it because without them there is no new life. That is why brute force might temporarily rule but if he is too violent and not considered caring enough by the females, his days are numbered. The others soon later gather around the one the females prefer and gang up against the head of the group and either kill him or expel him from the group. The top dog doesn't just have to be the physically strongest but shrewd enough to keep allies amongst the female as well as the male population. That is how evolution works in social species.

But I do feel that that the imperialists are not going to get away with uniting the world behind it through a false flag operation against Russia and China that could lead to a nuclear fallout. Its not succeeding in the proxy war in Ukraine. There is an Islamic tradition that says man plans and plans but God Almighty is the best of planners.

With so many nations within the Eurasian landmass much under-developed, BRI logistics connectivity across this landmass will certainly help them to become part of progress in the 21st Century. With rail links being supported throughout Eurasian, this connectivity will only bring progress; making this the main growth center of this century. As Vijay had noted this landmass can easily be rail-linked to the African continent. Time EU think of its future growth otherwise NATO will drag them down; as already shown with disagreement to settle the Ukraine issue with Russia. Maybe, Eurasian should just work with Africa in this aspect.

The EU has strong support for Ukraine independent of US influence. You clearly don't understand forces within the EU such as Poland, who are hostile to Russian expansionism.

They are in a phase of QT. You can't do too much QE (printing cash) because then the international community loses faith in the value of the currency and engages in capital flight. Inflation also has negative consequences when it's persistently high. So no printing at this time. QE was exhausted during the pandemic.

They flew U2 spy planes to China and 5 were shot down. US troops withdrew after US pledged One China Policy in 1979 but the US itself never left. Many islanders now imagine their island is the same class as the mainland. What economic developments do they have? What infrastructures? What scientific advancements? Do they have space programs? How many top universities do they have? What GDP? What R&D budget? How many Fortune 500 companies? How many billionaires?

It is always great to see Vijay Prashad and hear his thought and knowledge. But small correction about what he said in end of video (around 50-52min), that Russia was concerned if USA put nuclear missiles in Ukraine. That is not exactly truth, but generally yes... Russia was afraid if Ukraine join NATO or become other ways deeply part of the military forces (since Ukraine been officially quite hostile against Russia since 2014), but the thing about nuclear weapons in context of Ukraine - Kreml was not worried that USA may put their nuclear weapons to Ukraine, but that Ukraine create their own nuclear weapons, since Zelensky started talk about it year ago publicly. And Russian officials commented, that it is serious treat, since they know exactly that Ukraine is much more capable to build nuclear weapons than Iran ever been. That it won't be "5 years", they can build it almost immediately. Ukraine knows how to do them, they were part of USSR, and they still has scientists, facilities, equipments etc, to build their nuclear weapons. And for Russia, having unstabile and hostile neighbour with nuclear weapons, it is out of question. Millions will die if mistake is taken. I personally think, that as soon as Zelensky started seriously talk about having nuclear weapons, Kreml took time to seriously consider options and saw that military actions are needed before words become reality. I believe that military actions would happend year ago, if Ukraine officials would talked seriously about nuclear weapons year earlier. Or it may not be happen yet, if there would not be talk about getting those weapons. I do not think that talk about nuclear weapons were reason for the escalation, but I think it was "step too much". It is one thing to have nuclear weapons in this or that country, and have nuclear weapons in country which openly spreads hate against ethnic group and speak about killing those people. In this case it is Ukrainian influentials and officials against Russians. At least it is most worrisome from those perspective, who is threatened by those hatemongers.

Great discussion Rania and Vijay. Quite a ray of topics covered. You spoke about regionalism and I really think that's the inescapable way the world will have to go esp to solve the prob of reserve currency. Beyond the Jackboot diplomacy US has used to maintain the dollar reserve currency status since 1971, it just does not make any sense to accord one single currency that status cuz; 1) the reserve currency country can just resort to annual GDP made up of mostly currency printing which the rest of the world pays for by absorbing the exported inflation. 40% of total USD ever printed was printed in 2021. While other countries were borrowing to cover for the pandemic, US was just printing USD and now the whole world is suffering the exported inflation. 2) the reserve-currency country can seize and steal other countries foreign reserves, as US does in the name of sanctions, from time to time, esp cuz it has military power to bandy around and intimidate other countries I think the best way to go is to have regional economic unions each with its Index/Reserve currency, just like the Euro, but each country may still retain their local currency. The Index/Reserve currency will be used for regional and international trades and payments. Say South/Central America has its own Index/Reserve currency as Brazil is pushing for, USD becomes a reserve currency just for North America, Euro is already there for much of Europe, Africa's economic communities (ECOWAS, EAC, SADC, and so on) each creates its own Index/Reserve currencies, same for Asia (West, Central, East, SE Asia or any other arrangements). 1. These Index/Reserve currencies will trade and exchange with each other - no dominant one. Every imports have to be paid for in the Index/Reserve currency of the exporting regional economic bloc 2. Countries can then maintain their reserves in their own local/regional Index/Reserve currency 3. No country and its people will suffer sanctions and loss of their (foreign) reserves or denial of access to it 4. An int'l institution set up to monitor valuation metrics and exchange rates among the Index currencies and each regional bloc to also monitor component currencies to forestall currency manipulations 5. No more feeding off of other countries GDP and foreign reserves indirectly by just printing USD and exported inflation around the world 6. No more financial enslavement of other countries by just printing USD, giving them off as loans to other countries and capture their prized resources and economies as collaterals without breaking any sweat

Hope someone in position to evaluate and implement reads your summary. Well done.

@@margaretgoodheart4167 That's my hope too and I hope to spread the idea in as many places as possible to increase chances of reaching people in position. It's a raw idea they can review and refine. The world needs to move beyond a dispensation military might determines exchange rates, which is where we have been since 1971.

Vijay, Istanbul hasn't been the capital of Turkey since the Ottoman Empire ended over 100 years ago. Ankara (in the Asian portion) has always been the capital of modern Turkey.

Thank you for an absolutely fascinating and important discussion of the history and machinations behind the US global hegemony. I am very grateful that this video introduced me to Vijay Prashad. This was a truly impressive overview in its scope and clarity. Bravo!

Vijay Prashad is a great thinker and intellectual, and this is why I am shocked that he does not know that the capital city of Turkey is not Istanbul but Ankara. His argument stands anyway, as Istanbul is the biggest and most important city in Turkey, but still come on, it's basic knowledge that it's not the capital city.

Iron Curtain a phrase coined by Churchill speaking in US congress not by Truman. Otherwise Vijay is quite well versed in world geopolitics.

[@ianstevenson3628]

Europe has its differences with the US but they are closer than with any other part of the world. Most of NATO 17 out of 30 states (28 if we include Turkey) and they need co-operation to equip and train their forces. Using the existing command structure means that in the event of a sudden or uexpected threat, they can co-ordinate. Europe produces most of its warplanes in co-operative ventures. They stated to develop a more European posture during the trump years. It is the biggest trading bloc on the planet having trade agreements with 70 + other states. It sends as much aid as the US. The only conventional military threat to Europe is from Russia and even a few years ago most did not think conflict was likely. If has come to pass and shows the sense in maintaining NATO.

In the garden we can find beautiful flowers, any kind of flowers and colorful butterflies. I live in the tropical jungle. Mess all around, to many trees, too many fruits, rivers flow through the jungle, sometimes floods, the fishes aren't beautiful, so we eat it. Occassionally I go to the garden, enjoying beautiful, man-made gardens. Then I will come back to my tropical jungle
