Hey what's happening with Timur Ivanov and Ruslan Tsalikov? What's with the bags of Yankee Dollars they found in Ivanov's house? Even the top leaders don't believe in the Ruble anymore . Timur was #3 loser in the shit parade after Putin and Sergei Shoigu. They where caught selling nuclear secrets what a shit show. Alex could you plz fill me in?
Thanks
Alex, Just wanted to share if you sisnt hear about this. In Canada, our national security agency CSIS provided a report to the government which was buried intentionally prior to trudeau callong a snap election during the scamdemic. It was re released a few months back detailing the involvment of the chinese liberation army's bio terrorist division. Going so far as to allow a chinese general access to the site and all computers, hard drives, and records within. More review has confirmed that the winnipeg level 4 virology lab was working on bat virus gain of function with the intent to increase cross species transmission. Two chinese scientists heading up the program were travellong bacl and forth to wuhan just prior to the pandemic. Instead of firing them our government stalled for 2.5 years until they disappeared.
I'm American and Russians are not my enemy and never will be. India is not my enemy either. I keep a house in Taiwan and most of the people I've been around in my adult life are Chinese, they're my trustworthy long term friends. Americans' enemies are in DC and London, the ones causing this horrific confrontation between natural friends. I very much like Vietnam, I also chat with girls in the Philippines every day. I will not pretend that people I care about deeply are my enemy. My close friends are brothers who were born in Syria but raised and educated in Taipei , now out and about in the world, nothing but the fondest memories hanging out together with them and I'm supposed to pretend they're from the bad side? Far from it, the bad guys are our despicable "leaders".
Well said !
And the Oscar goes too
misleaders apparently not leaders anymore!
@zazu-xt4py: Thank you. That is the hard reality. DC and London are the one that want the power for them.

In 10 years time, less or more the US and EU will be in dire financial crisis. They need war for face saving when they defaulted on their huge debt
You appear to be overlook that the target if this "neo-colonoalism" isn't outside of the US and NATO but within. NATO givermments are far more st war with their iwn.people than.they are Russia etc. Russia is in no danger of dying. US and its NATO empire is on course to be dead in less than 50 years.

And soon on the losing side of this war, w8 & see.
My father is a lawyer, I told him about the scheme to sell Russian assets, give the money to Ukraine "in exchange for reparations we'll make Russia pay later." His reaction was an exasperated laugh. He said it's so absurd it's below him to even explain why, because he's not a first-year student.
LAWYERS TO FUCK UP THE WORLD SO WE CAN ALL BE SNOBS
a production of mine, posted somewhere else: "The commentary made on the seizing of the 300 billion, is made not acknowledging the reality. The reality is those money do not exist. As long as you talk about those money like about money that exist, you perpetuate missleading. Who has those money, to give? Russians don't have those money. If the money are seized, that is a sabotage on EU economy, because EU will have to make those money exist, and pay those money itself. If seized, the payer is the EU. To EU, it is convenient to have those money blocked, to not make any payment to Russia, and also to not have those money seized, to not pay those money to any entity, because it is EU that must pay. If real money are asked for, EU must pay, not Russia. And of course, approach Russia with proposal to pay, Russia to pay some more money, to try to save the other money. That is the real scheme, and you, Alexander, you never talked about the real scheme. You keep talking about money that in reality do not exist. The seizing would put pressure on EU, not on Russia, and guess who is meant to collect EU payment, USA, of course! The so called seizing, is a try by USA to make EU pay them 300 billion, and not only that, as EU, in order to pay those 300 billion to USA corporations, must pay with Euros, with properties in the EU, to buy US Dollars, to pay the seizing. And you, Alexander, you keep talking the fiction they are spreading. The reality is those money do not exist, this moment, and if seized, EU must produce those money. USA are still in anger, for the refusal of EU to use US Dollars. By seizing the 300 billion, they are forcing EU to convert to US Dollars again, effectively to buy Dollars. It is not Russia, to buy and pay, it is EU. The scheme is a betrayal of EU, and another effort to save and produce the USA development. For another year. Save USA economy for another year, by EU effort. Russia effort? Only if Russia is so stupid to try buy the non-seizing with suplimentary money."
Sounds like he doesn't know why.

The Indian prime minister definitely is in position illegitimately. I refer of course to Rishi Sunak.
But the Pakistani Prime Minister is on his way out. From Scotland. They are both WEF dancing boys.
I think it would be better say 'United States and it's vassals' rather than allies.
Whimpering Running Lap Dogs to be precise
Though Washington D.C. is the Israeli lobby's vassal, courtesy of their brethren in the top media boardrooms. And every war and sanction in the Middle East is against pro-Palestinian countries because of that. Saddam Hussein was a staunch US ally who invaded Iran on Washington's behalf, but was then targeted because he was pro-Palestinian. Hosting Arafat, giving money to the families of suicide bombers, as those families had their homes bulldozed. If Russia had been pro-Israel, sanctioned Iran and Syria instead of helping them, and Ukraine had been pro-Palestinian, then Washington would have been arming Russia instead.

Thanks for mentioning Niger,ANC and SOUTH Africa. All African news is a major milestone
I remember in the early 1980s, Nancy Reagan was a patron of a national anti-drug campaign. At the same time, her husband's administration, as part of the CIA's statutory activities, was selling drugs produced by South American guerrillas in order to support the Nicaraguan Contras. Since the highest prices for drugs could be negotiated with gangs operating in the United States, most of the stuff ended up on the streets of American cities. Later, weapons purchased by the CIA in this operation were also added to the ranks of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to soften the Iranians and facilitate the release of hostages held at the embassy in Tehran. All this happened in the final phase of the Iran-Iraq war, in which the U.S. supported its then-ally, Saddam Hussein. Among other things, the Pentagon provided Baghdad with satellite data that enabled accurate weather forecasts, which was crucial in planning Iraq's chemical weapons attacks. At the time, Iraq's chemical weapons were no problem, but a decade later, they became the crowning argument for the necessity of invading Iraq, which fueled the Bush administration. All successive Washington cabinets have inherited the same weakness for instrumentalizing the Middle East, so it soon became apparent that the long-standing relationship with Muammar Gaddafi also had to end as abruptly as possible. It is worth noting that both Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi had to die because they were both carriers of a broad and deep knowledge of Washington's regional activities. These events are directly related to the current chaos in the Middle East and stem from the same poisonous source linking three poisons: corporate greed fueling political corruption, imperial illusions of global omnipotence, and diplomatic impotence. I am convinced that Vladimir Zelensky has never read a single book on the history of the 20th century, and even if he forced himself to read it even once, he would not see any patterns and clear analogies in history, thanks to which he could properly assess his position and the fate of the country he has the misfortune to lead. Well, Nancy Reagan also theoretically had the truth in front of her nose all along, but in the end, she went down in history mainly thanks to numerous plastic surgeries and Mickey Mouse's wide smile.
Great post, thanks.
Also the 1980s anti drug campaign was far from innocent, it was mainly racism to harrass and discredit black people in the USA. Look at imprisonment rates in 1991 in supposedly free USA vs final years of USSR
US gov't is the biggest drug lord in the world. Its connection with underworld since WWII is well known to most of the world except most of Americans.
Well summarized🙏
On the contrary, I believe Mr. Putin read very carefully books about XXth century History, mostly I think he read very carefully the books on Russian History from XIXth and XXth centuries. On those he found two important informations, one related to the importance of the ports of warm waters of Crimea, (and Odessa) in the control of the comercial routes between west and east, specially the middle and the far east, as well as the way the West tried to take possession of these ports at the Crimea war, as well as to the plans developed by Mr. Foster Doles at the edge of the 20es last Century to apossess the energetic resources of Russia by the US through the at the time called the US's Russian Bureau inc, and the way the victory of the bolsheviks become so important in its failure. Let's remember that some of the hardest battles of the civil war took place in the Ukraine (as one can see in the book "Thus was tempered the steel"). Mr. Putin opposite to your understanding is not a leader compared with Mr. Ghadafi or Mr. Sadam Husain. He was at no point a vassal of the US or the Western countries that rebel against his lords (that was the time of Mr. Yeltsin), he is a russian nationalist from the beginning who does not hesitate in copying the Soviet procedures (in what is his interest, at up to the extent that it is in his profit). In that sense he is recovering with great success the industrial capacity of the country in order to not depend of foreign countries, and, in the aspects that this is not possible at a short term, cultivating good relations with PRC. A bit as China did before with the USSR first and from the 70's ahead with the USA. So it is my strong opinion that he not only read well the History of the XXth century, but read very well the present geopolitical situation and used it in russian advantage. Played well at both boards and came out of the conflict reinforced no matter he achieves total victory or a peace agreement extremely advantageous. Russia came out of this with a stronger industrial capacity, reinforced in it's sovereign ownership of its natural resources, and advanced both technically and technologically towards the future. Instead of a plunging ex-superpower, it emerged as a power on the path of regaining a position of one of the superpowers in the near future and one that one cannot avoid having in account ahead.
Population of Donbas is Russan. All cities are Russian, so the names of the towns are also Russian. Ukrainians can pronounce the names whatever they want. If you pronounce it in Ukrainian, it is the same as saying it in English.!! Kupyansk, the accent is on the second syllable in Russian, and that is the right way to say it. All the towns and villages should be in Russian pronunciation not in Ukrainian, we are talking about the Donbas region.

Zelenski's insistence that his troops hold onto indefensible positions. Reminds me of the actions of a certain German leader in 1945. That time at war with the USSR. It looks like a long, hot summer for Ukraine. Pity the Ukrainian cannon fodder used as Western tools.
Europe still gets Russian gas (Gasprom) through Ukraine. No doubt supplied at the higher price set when sanctions were imposed on Russia. Zelenski has said the contract with Gasprom will not be renewed in December. Leading to even more energy problems for Europe! Another Zelenski attempt to blackmail the European powers. Blinken looks more and more like a beaten man, tired of his futile and thankless role.
Will the US and NATO have to pay reparations to Russia for their contribution to this war?
Who's going to make them pay it?
@@SurLaMer_ That would have to be Russia.
Will not happen. They have been operating with impunity for a long time. Despite the fact that many lives have been affected negatively
NATO as a whole will pay. The Baltics will be SEIZED, in compensation for the seizing of the Russia assets.

The US and EU needs to understand that the only way we can win is by having a more robust economy, we can not win militarily. So both the US and EU must get control of their spending and actually cut spending on military.

Modi and Jaishankar are most excellent on their job.
Rus leadership runs a smooth algorithm. Fluid plans constructed for every variable: Western and Ukr staff (civilian, military, etc) are profiled, their ele€tion/behavior factored in. Accounting books for financial and military aid are kept (the ones w/o ‘calculation errors’), receipt copies attached. When the SM0 is over, the accounting will be published, criminals in Ukr prosecuted.
What a pile of S. T you wrote
Do you talk about that imbecile leadership?
Wished more calculus minds from highschool to college days to be involved in constructing government algorithms in the USA but the reality check is different ...
As the background to why Russia invaded Ukraine over its border security. From 1941-5, in the continental United States, an estimated 6 Americans were killed, in a Japanese balloon bomb explosion. By contrast, the USSR in WW2 suffered some 19 million civilian deaths, including 5.7 million ethnic Russians. The Americans should have understood this history. When pushing NATO expansion.
A slightly interesting take on statistics, you missed our Pearl Harbour by choice by stating continental US but Hawaii was US territory, agree the numbers are horrific on the Russian side. By inverting the argument from another perspective, America understands its history they also chose isolationism between the first two World Wars, it wont be subjected to a surprise attack by Russia,. The Russians have understood this history. Same argument from two different perspectives.
@@philipbanks3696 We weren't isolationist, we put sanctions against Japan which amounted to an act of war, we knew they would attack, er just didn't think it would be Hawaii
@@MrChiangching The age of Isolationism is pretty well documented in US history. The sanctions were in relation to Japanese expansion in Asia using its military, guess your analogy is correct if Russia is Japan in this scenario.
Americans 2 weakest link diplomacy and history
@@MrChiangching right and wrong. As the US had deciphered the Embassy code books, they knew the exact time when Japan will attack. And they know also what target would be attacked. The carrier fleet in Pearl Harbor. To the surprise of the Japanese attack forces no carrier was there. They left for a unknown region and did not participated in the Pearl Harbor fight. So while the initial assault on the pacific fleet did a lot damage, the spear tip of the US Navy survived. It was btw an Oil embargo because of the Japanese war in China. This cut Japan of 80% of its oil supplies. The very reason their main attack were the Shell oilfields in Indonesia.
A brilliant summary of the present state of play Alexander. The colonial model has been trying to redefine itself for decades. It now seems to be lashing out in all directions in order to survive. It's such a pity that it can't take the gains it has acquired through the last couple of centuries and use that to prosper

This morning, National Public Radio had a little report on the problems in Ukraine signaling for the first time that 1/2 Million soldiers were needed and concluding surprisingly: more money can buy more arms but not more soldiers. Somebody in official circles dares getting wiser????
Russian turret looks down on Ukraine 😅😅
Soon they will have no where to advance, not W, E, N or South. 😂
@@BWong1234 So, you expect them to get airborne or go underground? Or are you assuming a total victory of the Ukrainians who will conquer the whole of Russia? How unfortunate that NATO is loosing your talents as a great strategist. There are people in this world who have no fear of being ridiculous. By the way, no where is spelled in one word.
@@pindapoy1596 I didn't know we had the spelling police here. You must be very proud of yourself.
Russia SWARMS Front lines with Upgraded Turtle Tanks Mighty Turtles with Titanium Shovels. "Can you Dig it" said Cyrus "So much Russia winning alone while the EU and Nato lose together"
Beware the turtle , is being whispered in all the Ukro trenches !
If nato was there Russia would get a real 3 day war
@@arthurtaneI557buzz is that a drone says a Russian diving for cover 😅😅
Good day
Absolutely brilliant reportage Alexander!
G’Day! Alexander. Oh Boy! Here we go.
The Duran guys- is the most admirable expertise
Many thanks Mr Mercouris for this report as usual,in this case on particular for what happens in Kranovorovka were Ukranians are losing and stil thete on spite being indefendible.
The strategic defeat of Russia is a fundamental issue for the US and its allies, so they will invest in it as long as they are able to do so. It is unlikely that Russia will be defeated, but I feel sorry for the Ukrainians who became a bargaining chip in this
So how will it end when it is fundamental for one and existential for the other? I don’t think it will end well
Russia dont need to be defeated, they just wont be allowed to win.
@@OneDayWillFlyAway This is a dangerous situation, but for Russia it is a matter of survival, for the United States it is a matter of losing world leadership, for the United States it is not a matter of survival. Therefore, Russia will fight to the end, the United States will eventually retreat
@@polnoeceloeThe US have managed the Vietnam defeat , the Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria defeat , they will also survive the Ukraine defeat. Maybe they will make a break this time and don't start new wars soon.
Lloyds of London has become Avoid London
I'm sure I can speak for everyone who is fortunate enough to live in a 'Western' country that we are so thankful that we have leaders who uphold freedom, democracy, and peace.... a rules-based order of chaos if ever there were one.
Unfortunately we have let our political elite rule by quiet consent too long. We need to elect new ones with more sense. Difficult in many countries, but necessary. In the meantime western Europe face a new dark age of economic depression and less freedom of speech.
@@runeg987I think it is too late… only if we don’t have food we will start protesting. We are comfortably numb…
Where do you live
OK genius, now go ahead and tell us precisely how funneling vast amounts of lethal offensive weaponry to a one party police state under martial law at war with its neighbor in any way upholds freedom, democracy, and peace..
Mossad and the Moro King have Sanchez 🇪🇸 by the Cojones. They squeeze, he does what they please.
Very interesting video Alexander, always appreciate your hard work.
So the world should take Americas biggest ally Israel as a beacon of how a country should behave ?
Have people forgotten how the US behaved in Raqqa and Mosul? The smell of death reached out many kilometres from the rubble of Raqqa, buried and forgotten. The media didn't even blink
Blinken need to start cleaning the mighty Lavrov shoes and hopefully he will learn something. Never seen such a useless and hopeless Secretary of State . He can watch the expert Jayshankar videos which will improve his manners and intelligence.
Nope, when you are born a dime, you never become a quarter
Blinken is a total disgrace. A modern day Pinocchio.
China is an enemy they say in Washington? We are so dependent on China, sanctions would destroy the EU economy, I hope they understand that in Brussels.
They will also destroy what's left of the US retail economy, especially at the budget - end of the market (WalMart, Home Depot, Harbour Freight and so on).
Viva Mexico!
Suggesting that it is the policy of the West to depopulate Ukraine is consistent with the facts.
The policy is to depopulate the world including themselves
Great programme tonight thaks Alexander,,🤔
G'DAY!
As always Alexander your assesment is spot on
Unfortunately democracies have shelf lives.
Every 4 or 5 years, that is the point.
Incredible expertise, Alexander
❤😊UKRAINE IS COLLAPSING
Accept it never does and if it does collapse in a year or two then America will be there to f****** rape them of their vast natural resources or what's left of Ukraine anyway. What a tragic situation especially since peace was reached 2 years ago this month until NATO Britain and America said fight on to every last Ukrainian. Those are some sick people.
thank you!
Thank you
Alexander is the voice of Russian power 💪. Have a good day!
Good analysis
I’ve noticed Alex has moved his old clock between the bookcase and the door. Changing the wallpaper is the next step.
