Yanis Varoufakis on how to defeat Europe's oligarchs and warmongers

In this speech, Yanis Varoufakis explains in detail how and why we must defy Europe's oligarchs and warmongers, in order to save Europe from itself.
On June 9, at the EU elections, let's make our governments pay at the ballot box. Vote for MERA25 in Italy, Germand and Greece, so that we can call them out and unmask their hypocrisy.

If you ignore Nazi death squats roaming the east of Ukraine for the last 10 years. If you believe the Western propaganda about the Russians, even after Assange? Then I have NO trust in you at all.

Yea, Germany should look to Russia as an example of real freedom and democracy. Where every you go to jail for holding up a blank piece of paper and election results are pre determined And Germany should look to Russia for what real prosperity is all about. Unlike Germany, in Russia they earn an astonishing $400 a month average salary. That’s like almost enough to buy a used iPhone, if you save up the whole year.

After that, his company went bankrupt and he refused to pay his workers or his taxes. He was also recently caught owning wineries despite failing to declare his ownership of them to the EU Parliament. Mick Wallace is a corrupt bastard. Claire Daly is better in that she isn't corrupt but they're both pro-Putin and have in the past defended Assad's warcrimes and apologised for the fascist theocratic regime in Iran.

Israel is quite small nation - smaller population than city of Moscow or Paris - which army is quite ..poor quality. There been news that Israelian army officers are worried, that if Egypt joins side of Palestine, Israel is completely destroyed, since Egypt has so much bigger army (it is big nation which is controlled by army). But Al Qassam and other resistance movements have learned tactics and build weapons specificity effective against Israel. Israel been defeated every time they invaded to Lebanon. It is just myth, that they are something mazing - like there was once similar myth about Wehrmacht. And once, generation ago, Israel had success against red-Arabs - however, such success probably would not happen, if war would be longer than 6 days, but instead 6 months or 6 years.
