26:00 The language spoken in Spain is Castellano - the language from Castilla, the kingdom that unified Spain while expelling the Muslims in the late 15th century.

7:30 👏👏👏If Climate Change continues to be treated like it is currently, even if the Chinese make those bases taller, there will be no one to alive to operate them - the sad thing is that there will be no historians either.

I have the book ".Ci vilizing Caliban " opening up and taking the working classes to art galleries

Will this outlet bring Scott Ritter to speak on the Ukraine war.

[@alexgoler7617]

Would love to see that.

[@maxheadrom3088]

Probably not. This is a center for Russian studies - these guys are historians, sociologists, anthropologists ....

My take on this speaker is “long live the aristocracy of the empires (of which the speaker’s family once was) as breaking up empires can be messy so don’t do it.” I’ll take the EU in its current state compared to the dominance of the UK, French, Prussian, A-H, and Russian empires dominating 30 +nations. Also, unfortunate that there aren’t any Ukrainian participants in these discussions. All new NATO members ran to the EU and NATO because they know what occupation under Russia means. It would have been great to hear why all Warsaw Pact nations looked west and not east post USSR.

You take rule by the unelected despots of the EU because you don't like unelected despots?

Neither wittingly nor unwittingly been serving death. I stand not guilty as charged, therefore I have grounds to doubt the veracity of your proclamation.

[@hanumanji20]

Thank you very much for the feedback. I make no accusation of guilt... in fact I will assert that no such thing even exists. Fear not, there is no need for defense. Please be patient and stay tuned ❤️.

[@barrylane1055]

This was truly one of the worst academic presentations I have ever watched on-line. Anecdotal, rambling, derogatory and off-subject. The Moneterey Initiative in Russian Studies should be able to do better than this.

[@colinadevivero]

Gross mislabeling. He only mentioned Ukraine as an afterthought in his last sentence. Rambling, self-indulgent, inexplicably self-congratulatory.

[@dimitrioskantakouzinos8590]

Ukraine is not mentioned in the title. Can you read?

[@hanumanji20]

Radical self honesty and radical honesty regarding the grander narrative is precisely the appropriate response if one is authentically concerned with how to proceed. I am particularly referring for a need of more veracious ontics on the nature statecraft and diplomacy and the singleness nature of their momentous trajectory that has swept through history.... you don’t need to go any further back than approx 200 years (I’ll take care of that parts prior). So, in other words... straighten out those ‘hinges’ of history... no more omissions, either from yourselves or the public... shine the light on everything! welcome what you see and consequences therefrom... stop being the clever bitch-pussies afraid of death! that is our responsibility! You have effectively and unwittingly been serving death... that is how we got here... Have you all considered trying to actually serve Life? The antidote is radical honesty... The intellectual and data resource capacities for this, we have. The real question is... do we have the courage and wherewithal of the Heart? ✌️

[@hanumanji20]

I apologize for using degrading language referring to everyone, It’s not becoming of the spirit of which I urge. I’d like to acknowledge my misappropriated anger and admit it was born from the same fear I wish for you to face... We can all be naked in front of each other, we’re all alike, it’s ok ❤️

[@hanumanji20]

Please be patient and stay tuned.... meanwhile consider setting up a special roundtable for us

[@shanewilson2484]

Honesty often is painful. If one is living in a State under a highly repressive regime, the costs can be very painful. It is wise to calibrate the level of honesty to the circumstances of the regime one is subject to, and maybe consider what would advance one's prospects in The Academy.

[@hanumanji20]

Thank you for sharing, much appreciate your feedback. Please be patient and stay tuned. ❤️✌️

[@hanumanji20]

@@stuartwray6175 Thank you for the input, I was concerned about that too. I am at work on a manifesto that will unpack/expand with clarity. Please be patient and stay tuned ❤️.

Everyone has a nation.

[@GeopoliticalBob]

This guy is a rambling, unintelligible confused speaker. Disappointing that you don't have anyone with clear thinking giving a talk on such an important talk. He didn't even get to the point about expansion after the Cold War - he went rambling to the 14th Century.

Britain needs to learn to mind its own border.
