[@jjayp1]

What do you think an ex-CIA agent actually does? Many like to present themselves as self-described 'experts' but they're scared to death about revealing something that's not already public knowledge. They don't want their life ruined so they tread very carefully. Anything that's not public knowledge leaves them vulnerable to prosecution. And the agency itself can continue with blunder after blunder unchecked, with an unlimited and top secret budget that even the president isn't privy to. They obviously fumbled the ball here, and keep getting rewarded for being asleep at the wheel for 911 and literally not knowing about the Berlin Wall falling until we did. “The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings...And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.” --John Kennedy

When western leaders say Russia's war in Ukraine breaks international law and is horrible. They are correct. The problem is, when they call Russia or China thugs or Criminals, Russia and China do not care. Why? Because if the Nuremberg laws and international laws had been applied and enforced since WWII. Almost every world leader, including western leaders, would have been hanged for crimes against humanity. But since America has a monopoly on military strength, and economic influence, they can just tell international organizations to side with them, to approve of their wars. So even if Russia is a street thug, as we imply. The west is the Mafia. And abuses their power globally and against their own people. Don't get me wrong, it is still better to live in the USA than elsewhere. It's still richer, and more free than Ukraine or Russia, for example. But America has spent decades playing world police, while breaking its own rules. And now that it is weak, the other thugs are out for blood.

If the US wanted peace in Ukraine then They wouldn’t have poured cold water on the talks, an action which was condemned today by Ukraine.

@@eomoran Let me tell you how NATO membership works. If a sovereign country wishes to join NATO they have to apply. It's not the US or anyone else that makes any country join NATO, they join by their own free will. NATO consists of many more countries than the US so you're talking nonsense. If a country wishes to join it's not for some fucking despot in Moscow to tell them they can't. Russia was even asked if they wanted to join themselves, but of course they wouldn't.

When western leaders say Russia's war in Ukraine breaks international law and is horrible. They are correct. The problem is, when they call Russia or China thugs or Criminals, Russia and China do not care. Why? Because if the Nuremberg laws and international laws had been applied and enforced since WWII. Almost every world leader, including western leaders, would have been hanged for crimes against humanity. But since America has a monopoly on military strength, and economic influence, they can just tell international organizations to side with them, to approve of their wars. So even if Russia is a street thug, as we imply. The west is the Mafia. And abuses their power globally and against their own people. Don't get me wrong, it is still better to live in the USA than elsewhere. It's still richer, and more free than Ukraine or Russia, for example. But America has spent decades playing world police, while breaking its own rules. And now that it is weak, the other thugs are out for blood.

Did you even know that the people in Eastern Ukraine have been METHODICALLY shelled, day after day, for the past eight years?

@@petersack9571 I don't trust 'fact checkers' if they are paid by the same company they are supposed to 'fact check'. For example Pfizer had that done on Facebook. They literally brought their own people to 'fact check'. Took 2 years to bring this BS propaganda down.

Can that guy please admit that the cia has been funding the azov battalion for more then a decade? And be honest about what the cia has been doing for years in ukraine

[@daavids55]

He probably can't. Therefore, I don't see the point to have this man on podcast, if he's actually not allowed to say anything but some nonsense

[@shabbykat273]

Not a chance.

No way! You will not hear this in America! Its pathetic. I know people of america are not guilty of anything but could you at least open your eyes on whats going on??? Dont be ignorant, please.

It’s amazing that Joe keeps having him on, the way he talks in vague, generalities without saying anything particularly interesting or enlightening, you would doubt that his background is even genuine.

Found the Russian troll farm account. Look he's a relic of the Soviet Union that wants his legacy to be reuniting the USSR. He setting Russia back a decade trying to do it. The Russian economy will not recover from this for a long ass time. Its not the sign of a great leader to embark on a economic suicide mission. I saw a video today of Russians almost killing each other in a store trying to get a few bags of sugar. Creating that situation over a folly is the true sign of a fool.
