Ukraine to Gaza, Europe is on a Self-Destructive War Drive w/ Prof Wolfgang Streeck

See the full episode on Patreon: / ukraine-to-gaza-92244989
So what’s new with the war in Ukraine? Is anyone winning? How will it impact the future of Europe and NATO? What are the similarities to the war on Gaza? How will escalation in the Middle East impact Ukraine? And how is the war on Gaza exposing all the hypocrisy of the EU in particular?
To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek was joined by prolific writer and author Wolfgang Streeck, Emeritus Director at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies.

A slight majority of US voters still support Israel. That's a problem. One of the reasons is the influence of the AIPAC lobby. But another important reason is the media mostly don't talk about the issue unless there is a war happening in Gaza and they mostly blame Hamas. When the war is over, they become silent. But most of the atrocities against the Palestinians happen in the West Bank all throughout the year. Land theft, unjust imprisonment of men, women and children, the reckless killing of protesters, even journalists, cruel and discriminatory treatment of Palestinians, settler violence etc. etc. etc. happen non-stop in the West Bank. We need to always spread the truth about the situation to Americans to change their minds. ☺😥😥

The phrase one military man on video, perhaps Wilkerson, or MacGregor offered was something like President Putin focuses seriously on his war caring not much what is said of it, while for the U.S. it involves a lot of "stagecraft" to be managed.One aspect which much struck me was the constant media demonization of Mr. Putin with style and method not new to me. His image is rendered debased, defaced, criminalized, pathologized, vulgarized of intent, that's a useful one, he's rendered toxic as a rôle model, his psyche is in a sense "gerrymandered" and left not all there, along with his character, we are assured that as myth, he is red-lined "forever," possibly headed to the "The Lake of Fire," right? His personal, national and global politics are "neutered" for us happily by experts at denigrating type media, all of it, it looks to me. His personal culture and his view of culture is victimized, and it is expected that the haters and dunderheads out there will blithely extend that to all Russians, which is a terrible thing, that of being so victimized, but all very properly imperialist, and Mr. Putin wasn't blind to it. I pointed out to a cop the media role in providing War drum inspiration for haters and wackos who intentionally hurt or kill people, "the enemy," and she responded that I had better things to think about, at my age. 🍷😮 !

A deep-seated feeling of envy is at the heart of the West's harsh criticism of Putin. During the Ukrainian crisis, geopolitical tensions between Russia and NATO got worse. This has sped up Russia's ongoing transformation. Imperial sanctions became the only way that people in Putin's government could make a difference. Due to its structure, it is difficult for Russia's strategic autocracy to fall under pressure from other nations and organizations. By carefully studying and analyzing geopolitics, President Putin and his staff have shown they are brilliant and skilled at managing international affairs. Vladimir Putin skillfully explains his thoughts with unmatched clarity and displays a calm demeanor that shows his unshakable devotion to his country. Even though they have been involved in discussions about lying, cheating, arrogance, and fear-mongering, it is sad that the leaders of the United States have not taken any significant steps to promote positive change. It is a common observation that leaders in the Western world frequently resort to using concise and attention-grabbing statements, commonly referred to as sound bites. Consequently, it is doubtful that one would come across any instances that deviate from this prevailing trend. NATO incurred significant financial losses due to the proxy Ukrainian conflict. Harbor a profound skepticism towards the Western world and prioritize cultivating one's reputation over the accumulation of material wealth, be it in the form of currency, silver, or gold. The Global South often finds themselves pausing with a sense of unease when expressing that Russia, akin to any other nation, possesses a plethora of commendable attributes to offer. Imagine a scenario wherein President Biden or any other esteemed Western statesman is compelled to engage in a question-and-answer session devoid of written aids or premeditated inquiries. Notwithstanding this impediment, their comprehension of history is commendable, and they possess the ability to explain it in a manner that is deemed satisfactory. This predicament exhibits a conspicuous figure of authority. No doubt, conversing with a bright and enlightened person who can share knowledge and insights without insulting other countries is energizing. In terms of being a wise leader, President Putin is the perfect example. The remarkable aptitude of President Putin for effectively articulating the objectives and intentions of his administration is truly noteworthy. Mr. Putin has the necessary qualifications to assume a leadership role and demonstrates a profound understanding of the historical context and factual intricacies of the Russian Federation and its neighboring nations. President Putin shall be duly acknowledged as an exemplary statesman who valiantly combated imminent perils and championed the cause of global welfare to avert calamities.

[@Mr.Jasaw13]

Great conversation

[@rosebud8222]

This was a great discussion

[@catalyticcentaur5835]

Angenehmer Typ, der werte Herr Professor. Danke für das Interview. (Ich werde es mir nochmals genau anschauen.) Die Reaktion "Ugh, that woman" erscheint mir leider sehr angemessen oder so meine ich das.

[@rosebud8222]

You made the points very clear

[@virtualselfie6899]

😓💔Great interview, as always, Rania; my takeaway, "So they're turning the EU into an instrument of NATO, it's happening!" said the Max Planck Institute scholar. That woman in Germany is so far right wing, she's tipping us into 5 seconds till midnight.

[@robincook5999]

A point missed by main stream media, last week the President of Italy ,Georgina Meloni made a huge Gaffe, she stated Europe was fatigued by the War in Ukraine and it must end with peace which is beneficial to both Ukraine and Russia. But at the same time the US and Europe are sending more military aid to Ukraine. I think most Europeans are not confused by the Ukrainean Conflict and it was Orchestrated by NATO we have the mails. Obviously the Italian Media is playing the fact she should have been more careful, the truth is her statement was spot on. It just highlights our politians will do and say what ever they are told at the same time behind closed doors they are aligned with their public.

[@rosebud8222]

You cleared it up for me

[@hanimazen5717]

thanks

[@franciscoserrano557]

Hello Rania happy new year to you and the beginning of your first full year. Of break through news 🎉😂🎉

[@user-eg1dw2sf4u]

Rania always made nice topics Masha ALLAH 🎉❤

[@danwelterweight4137]

One of the best and most informed journalists out there. Her and Abby Martin.

[@therealarchstanton3343]

Excellent analysis Jerry.

[@raymond7427]

Rania's smile is like the sun breaking out on a cloudy day!

[@Beyond12345]

Europes economy is collapsing and we forget ourselves. We should look after ourselves and forget about America vs Russia. America vs Arabs

[@user-ql6xw7uu9l]

❤ GA zo door Rania 💪 top werk wat je doet

[@metugeekane8454]

Why did the USSR withdraw their soldiers from Germany when the US still occupies Germany till date? The Russians have made so many silly mistakes which they must now correct at any cost.

[@sabinereynaudsf]

USSR was bankrupt. Most of Germany doesnt feel occupied. I never see a US soldier. They dont exert any pressure on the population.

[@lianasammartino8490]

yes, big mistake!! I think after what they see and experience today, the Russians will ALWAYS deal with the west as A POTENTIAL ENEMY, even if with pragmatism. GLOVES ARE OFF for generations to come!!

[@kti5682]

Among other things because we paid them to go home.

[@DiogoJ1]

Simple, because the USSR was weak, and because Germany isn't really occupied nowdays.

[@corvusduluth]

At present there is a war between two 'new' Nations, Russian Federation, and Ukraine, both of which were fromerly members of USSR. Both of these, as members of USSR had soldiers in DDR, and "East" Berlin, but also, there were Soviet soldiers in "West" Berlin at the Soviet War Memorial near Tiergarten. Your question is a very good question.

[@marcseghatol6583]

Thanks

[@mtarte7922]

Time to go neutral or change sides if you don't want to be labeled as warmongers...

[@manuelbaez7148]

great interview with the beautiful smart Rania

[@user-gl2wu2fs8h]

Dr Kissinger, "To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be an friend is fatal."

[@Notorious_conor]

If you cant condemn killing of Palestinian childs then you dont have right to condemn hamas also

[@DiogoJ1]

Good, because I will condemn both.

[@danwelterweight4137]

Condemning Hamas is like condemning the Viet Cong for fighting and killing Americans in the Vietnam War or the Viet Minh fighting against the French. Hamas is just like the Viet Cong and the Viet Minh, not ISIS. They are a guerrilha resistance force fighting against foreign occupation and colonialism. Every single resistance guerrilha force has been called a terrorist. Every single one of them. Even the American forces led by George Washington were called terrorists by the British during the American war of independence

[@helengoethals9220]

“It (censorship) began with the Ukraine war”. In recent times, it began with the COVID response, which began with the absurd claim that “This is a war.” And then any questions, let alone counter-hypotheses, were censored/outlawed. We are now in the third round of this struggle for the freedom of …. ultimately everything that we hold dear.

[@grazphil]

thank you!!!!

[@tinaoffice9274]

There is one important information we need to know, Israel and its supporters, what is the difference from what happened to the Jews and how the Palestinians are being subjected to by Israel now? What is the difference?

[@reidwhitton6248]

The difference is that the US is supporting it this time around with with money, weapons, intelligence and political support.

[@UserName95107]

The difference is that, USA is supporting n@zî. oh I mean Isrl this time.

[@ronbarrett6323]

Did you mean Ursala Fond of lyin? I would like to thank Clare Daly for that.

[@nazeerahmedsonday5071]

It would seem that 30k US troops can be viewed in two ways: 1. They there for the defence of the those countries, or 2 an occupying force since WW2. I'd say the latter is the likely answer. I mean who blew up the Nordstream pipelines and why? Why hasn't the Japanese economy grew beyond its potential?

[@tedtan6449]

Illuminati aka Dajjal... Globalist new World Order

[@andreheck9545]

UN said that it send 500 lorries a day to Gaza, before the war. It is unknown, that someone build a prison, and others are responsible to feed the people who live in this prison. This comes out now, I did not know about and no media reports.

[@jake751]

That poisoned dwarf Ursula has let her mask slip 😳

[@DutchPalestinian777]

Europe is the most unjust place ever! I honestly have never seen anything like this. The double standards are just criminal!

[@JanWasp]

All of this is really depressing, I keep hoping we can find a way out of it

[@MsHumble4]

If you want to know, the U.E. is also holding hands with the USA. António Guterres was quite brave for saying what he said , even though so many believe that the U.N. fully stands with the U.S.A. I now wonder what he would have done when East Timor was ignored for 24yrs by the U.N. while the invaders did whatever they wanted.

[@Dabooshky]

Maybe it's better that Prof Wolfgang Streeck explain his ideas in german (traslated in real time) insted of english.. He can say and explain a lot more things for sure! Prosit

[@frankb3347]

With dual citizenship my American friends wonder why I don't live in Germany. It's because I saw Europe's collapse coming 20 years ago. Things are going to get really ugly over there in the coming decades.

[@skforandhra]

muslims will be taking hold of europe nations , nato will be disbanded , EURO will not be there

[@sylviam6535]

I blame Europeans for that. They have become incredibly weak.
