If the AIPAC puppets in Washington take America to war with Iran (a war America has zero chance of winning btw) in order to defend Israel from retaliation for its crimes, then AIPAC is over as are the careers of any employees stupid enough to toe the line for them.
Thank you, Oracle.
May Ukraines Swords Chip and Shatter! Uraaaaaa Uraaaaaa Uraaaaaa Russia 🇷🇺
Thanks, Alexander
the amount of international turmoil caused by a small group of countries is alarming. As an American, I side with Russia and Palestine.
I’m with you but realistically neither of our opinions means anything. Well I’m with you 90%. Pro Russia. Anti Israel. Not necessarily pro Palestine. I believe it’s a pity one side of that particular war has to win
One country the USA.
As an Englishman I side with Russia and Palestine its obvious who the shit stirrers are.
👍👍👍🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🥰🥰🥰
It's important to distinguish a people from their government. I'm anti-American government, but damn I love Americans. I'm anti-Ukraine government, but have done much respect for the people. I'm anti Hamas, but not anti-Palestine. I think a common thread here is that people everywhere are being screwed by their politicians. God I hate politicians.
Im from the uk and my government should be put in prison for genocide and treason.
Agreed 👍have a look at the amnesty international report on C/19 and the thousands of elderly that were kill-ed in care homes 🇬🇧☠️👍

And that goes double here in the states
As am I, spot on pal. UK is on the wrong side of History regarding everything we have all been through in the last 5yrs.
Here here my good man! Add the Biden regime to the indictment. ..
This is why Russia is proceeding slowly. Putin understands that defeat in Ukraine will be a major trauma for Western misleaders. They need time to process what is happening and hopefully arrive at a rational response. If Russia moved too quickly or powerfully the West might be panicked into triggering Armageddon. We are on the edge. This is a crucial and pivotal moment in human history.
Yes, and amazingly very few people still seem to understand that. I don't mean the usual crowd who only relate to territorial changes, headline events and propaganda but some of the serious observers who really should know better by now.
Defeat in your dreams Russian has comprehensively lost Ukraine and its western markets. it's called Russian 'expansionism', Since 1900, Russia or the Soviet Union has invaded China, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Afghanistan, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Finland, Romania, Poland again, Finland again, Germany again, Hungary, Austria, Poland a third time, Romania again, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary (again), Czechoslovakia, Georgia, Ukraine [Crimea], Ukraine[Donbas], Ukraine[whole thing]

Simple question: Why are there American military bases in the UK, Italy, Germany, Spain, etc., but there are no military bases in the UK, Italy, Germany, etc. in the US? Answer: because the USA is the dominant country, and all these countries are lackeys. They have never been partners, they have always been lackeys, in fact they have no freedom, no sovereignty. The US gives the order and they carry it out
That's really not true: UK, Singapore, and Germany maintain training bases for their personnel in the USA. This is well known. Prince Harry was trained in the USA for example.
Dont forget all of the US military bases in Africa too. Nothing to see here.
Oo oo ask me! Once upon a time, in American history, Europe refused to play nice by itself. Yanks had to cross an ocean and get involved. They call that WWI. Shortly thereafter the peace was interrupted again, and Yanks had to come over again. They called that WWII. So, they preposition stuff, who knew ? Read any books lately? Germany and Taiwan used to train in US. Obviously other countries as well. Heard of Google?
@@JosephBisio Are there really German military bases in the USA? Belonging to Germany in the area excluded from the USA law? Could you give some details? I don't think your claim is true. The fact that Brits and Germans can train in the USA doesn't mean automatically who owns the base. The essential facts are who owns the base and which country's legal system is valid on the territory of the base. Give some proof, please. Your statement that Prince Harry trained in the USA doesn't mean anything. Prince Harry is not a soldier. He is a celebrity. This is a well-known fact indeed.

The big unanswered question is what was Cofer Black, a former senior CIA official who headed up the Counter Terrorism Center (CTC) in 2001, doing while serving on the board of Burisma and a Latvian Bank that was later implicated in possible terrorist financing? Was that just a crazy coincidence? - Sonar21
And Hunter Biden being a CIA asset
Cofer Black the CIA guy who directly toppled the Taliban in 2001. Great American Patriot.
thank you. I am screaming from the top of my lungs, that the big Burisma scandal is not Hunter, but a CIA agent on the same board.
@@slewone4905 Yeah but the Russian intel planted information and fake testimony & rumors that the big Burisma scandal was centered around Hunter and Joe Biden, when in reality Joe Biden as VP was merely acting out well-known US policy (and European policy) in a very corrupt Ukraine.

@@paulwooton4390 Not for the first time - or even the second. Since 1948, Israel has 'fought 15 wars' against Gaza according to Wikipedia. One has to admire the unsophisticated use of the word 'fought' in this context - against a foe largely defenceless: no armour, no artillery, no airforce, no navy - just a few small arms and most of the missiles are rocks.

How could the Russian army achieve this when they lack the manpower to even staff the defense plants for production? They've been compelled to recruit children from schools as labor.

Friday, February 9, 1990. Sec of State James Baker - "We understand the need for assurances to the countries in the East.

Ukraine was the first to use cluster bombs, depleted uranium Russia is well within its rights to use anything in its weapon Arsenal
This is simply false. Russia used cluster munitions vs, civilian areas in Kharkiv city in late Feb 2022 at the start of the all-out war. There is a mountain of evidence on this including documentation from the UN.
Any Israel air attack on Iran would mean flying over Jordan, Syria , Iraq and Saudi air space. Unless USA bases are used in Kuwait , Qatari, UAE or Saudi bases. Any other comments ?
That's interesting.
bet they refuel midair with usa planes
Most of the countries you listed are some way subsurviant to US. If not Palestinians would not have been suffering.
Jordan would just wink at Israeli planes in their air space. Iraq effectively has no real air force or air defense vs. jets and its air space is in reality under American control. Saudis would probably ignore Israeli jets over their northern desert border. Also Azerbaijan gets the bulk of its new weapons from Israel and the Israelis might have some secret bases there that they could recover to or do special forces operations and SAR from.
Israel aircrafts don't fly over Syria because there are 2 Russian military bases.

51:55 When I was a National Serviceman in the 1950s, I was for a while in a unit that had recently returned from Korea. Our Sgt said to us on one occasion: "If you are fighting alongside the Yanks, beware of this: Suppose you are held up by a machinegun post, the British way of dealing with it, would be to try to sneak a group in behind it and attack it from the rear while the rest of the platoon, company or regiment, kept it busy from the front. The Yank's way of dealing with it, would be to call up the airforce and give them the coordinates of this machinegun post and then the airforce would come and destroy it. However, if you ever do call up the US airforce, to deal wih such an obstacle, you had better make f'ing sure that you have some bl*ody good cover, because they will flatten the whole area, including you, if you arent careful!"

Every time I hear the 'gas station...' reference and every time I hear some Western spokesperson refer to washing machine parts or now imported technological weaponry as descriptors for how, dare I say it 'primitive' or 'incompetent' Russia is, I am reminded of all those Hollywood sci-fi movies of past decades, where the trope was always Russian MIR cosmonauts using pipe wrenches to bang & bash bits & pieces of their station to make it work -- because of course they had neither the intelligence, skill set or equipment to build it or manage it to western standards. It seems to me that what passes itself off as professional "intelligence' reporting is nothing more than regurgitation of those Hollywood tropes. Not surprising that those terms, or cherished cultural beliefs are profligated ad nauseam by Western Governments, think tanks & academics who it seems to me are more concerned with an Orwellian "war as Entertainment" program than they are over their own nation's well being.
I thought that trope was demonstrating how Russians are pragmatic mechanical geniuses and that the equipment wasn't always the best. American's generally like Russians unless those Americans are curren-year propagandized dimwits. The Cold War scared a lot of people all over the world. What the Soviets did to their own people was a horror show. Only when the Wall came down did that fear began to decrease. Even so, some in the West wouldn't let it go. They're stuck in the past. They think that Russia is still the Soviet Union of Stalin's day. Either that, or they're stupidly thinking that they should make enemies of Russia and they'll profit. Thankfully, US hegemony is collapsing under greed and corruption. We weren't virtuous enough to sustain the gifts we inherited from our forebears. This saddens me beyond belief. It has made the lives of most Americans far more difficult than it should be and destroyed the morals and morale of all my countrymen. They have robbed young men of a future. This is how you destroy a nation -- give its young men nothing to live for and nothing to fight for. The young men of Russia should be proud. They're well-led by men who have strategic minds. I'm ashamed of all the leaders of the West. Their every public appearance yields ever more embarrassment. They strut around proudly yammering about their Grand Plans but they aren't even qualified to manage a McDonalds, much less, a nation. They speak like they lead a conquering superpower but they're just exhausting the last dregs of preeminence they inherited from better men. They are why the fable of the "Emperor's New Clothes" was created. All the sycophants appreciate the finery of our leaders but even a child can see that they wear nothing. The US ceased to be a reality-based society long ago. Probably the late 60s - the Boomer generation. They valued style over substance and it spread like a virus though all the delusions they cast to sell crap to each other. Every denial of the truth is a debt to reality. When reality comes to collect, the reckoning has interest. It's fitting that the nation collapses under the leadership of the Boomers -- in government, finance, and business. They deluded themselves as they deluded the public. They got high on their own supply of BS. They thought themselves righteous while destroying laws and freedoms to indebt everyone else to their own profit. They better hope there's no God. What's more, they better hope that whoever runs this show we call reality isn't accounting for their immoral selfishness in the next frame.
I agree,, what's even more disgusting than the "gas station with a government" propaganda or the brain-dead quips about titanium shovels or drones with washing machine chips, is the CONSTANT flow of bullcrap from World of Warcraft "generals" or World of warships "admirals" about how badazz NATO weaponry is and how all the Russian weaponry is third class or running out or whatever... all this military stroke-off stuff from people who,, pardon the cliche but who sit around mom's basement in Cheeto - stained underwear doing video games rather than running to their recruiter to sign up for the fun... Because if anyone interested wanted to see what wall Street's template for their plans for Russia are, all they have to do is look at Central America: a bunch of resource rich,, politically fragmented and economically desperate stoogedoms,, the right-wing military dictatorship governments running death squads to keep the peasants from forming unions and all aligned with the Washington maintained drug war to keep the drugs flowing to America and to keep the cash flowing to the military industrial complex... And since westerners aren't aware of the plans, it's like why shouldn't Russia just submit to Wall Street? After all,, as Cucker Tarlson said, why shouldn't Russia hook themselves to the kinder gentler superpower of Wall Street, rather than China? I'm really surprised President Putin didn't immediately start laughing and order Tarlson out of the building,, with Putin telling him he's got 5 minutes before he releases the hounds LOL......

funny - meanwhile reality in russia :) -20% of houses has no inside toilet - apart military - rest economy is in the stagnation (war economy) - medical care is crap: 7 years shorter lives vs Western Europe + one of the highest alcohol related desists. - even with lower costs - level of living is below Bulgaria (the poorest country in the EU) - minium salary: $210/month! - corruption is on Africa level (140th place /180) - created current flood in Russia - but excuse is that "rodents eaten the dam" - he, he - infrastructure (apart from big cities) is 20 years behind Europe - commie looking towns+ poor villages - "brain drain" + population in decline (especially Slavic) - economy wise, Russia is becoming China vassal (totally depended on) - reserves are depleted - the war will be funded by higher taxes now - 15% of refineries are damaged by Ukrainian drones+ over 33% of Russian Black Sea fleet already sunk - fake "conservatism" - super high level of divorces/abortion/ alcoholism, etc. (only 8% of church attendees - lower than in Holland!) - Putin can't even protect Moscow against ISIS - despite warnings - the that you can go to prison for calling war a war (etc.), - is icing on the cake
Dear Alexander. Once again I thank you for your daily resume of the international political situation. I must say that your style has changed me. Every time I start looking for the right word to express my idea, I began to make those pauses that you make all the time. In a way, the silence allways sounds better than a "ummmm" noise, and in the the other way, that same silence gives time for the listener to process the previous information. Please continue to be and act your own way. We need more people like you in this insane society we call the "free world"! PS: Sorry for my english. I'm Portuguese.
Alexander - "It's a ludicrous plan." NATO Officials - "It's perfect!"
the world has gone completely crazy
Not quite all the world. We in Russia are totally sane, I assure you.
Yeah "pussy cat riot" and wokesters like that are completely sane.
The Zionist controlled west has gone crazy.
@@SvetlanaVladimirova8590 I lived there and can confirm the contrary
@@therussiachannel Okay. Prove it.
Peace negotiations is the way to go
d'ya think
Yes I agree Ukraine must surrender they have crossed too many red lines
Negotiations without the Russians? From the people that brought us Minsk for the sole purpose of building up Ukraine's military to fight Russia? Lol, and I thought Zelensky was the comedian.
Too late for that!
There is no peace with the warmongering west. You should know that
Thanks for the VIDEO!
Alexander, your fine summaries are so very much appreciated. Thank you for your dedication.
Very important note: Although the Palestinians turned to the Islamic religion and to the Arab language following the Muslim Conquest of the Levant 638, genetically they are the same population that was inhabiting the area before those events - we can call them the Canaanites. The same happened in South and Central America: the people there turned to the Christian Catholic religion and to the Spanish language, yet they are not Spanish. They are still the descendants of the Aztec, Maya, Inca, Quechua, Aymara, Mapuche, Taino peoples that were inhabiting those places since millennia ago.. The Arabs, original from Yemen, Oman and Saudi Arabia (region that the Romans called Arabia Felix) did NOT move to the Levant in significant numbers, that could have genetically altered the population in the Levant (Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria)
Had not thought of it in that light before. Thanks!

I would like to remind all those Ukrainian supporters Ukraine was killing their own citizens from 2014 and even now and these civilians invited Russia to protect them several times before Russia came to their aid. Yet you'll never see this fact posted in any western media. It's as if these civilians didn't exist. Either we all have equal human rights' or there are no human rights' at all.
Very well said! Thankyou for writing this factual appraisal of the reality of the situation.
Indeed, the Brits bang on about the right to self determination for peoples such as those of Gibraltar, Falklands, Catalonia, Basques, Israel, but the people of the Donbas have never existed, the brits said from 2014 on that the people in east Ukraine were Russian invaders despite having been there for centuries, even before Western Ukrainians. Invisible, they don’t get in the way of “humanitarian intervention” and sympathyfor the poor neonazi minorities suffering at the hands of bad soviets. “Unprovoked full scale invasion” cancels the existence of the entire eastern populations.
Yup turned into a type of Gaza replete with war crimes and apartheid
" and these civilians invited Russia to protect them several times before Russia came to their aid. " Total RU BS & rubbish. That's not the way it happened. The pro-Russian president left Ukraine after being deposed on 2/24/14. By 2/27/14, THREE DAYS LATER, Putin's troops were taking up strategic positions in Crimea. (and this is but one example) . No one was threatening the folks in Crimea, the revolutionary govt. in Kyiv was still trying to organize itself and did not even control the local police in Crimea.
@@JosephBisioHow was the former president deposed? The whole disaster stems from that US meddling.
UKRAINE NOTHING MORE THAN WEST-FUNDED PRIVATE MILITARY COMPANY - RUSSIA’S UN REP Nebenzya explains that there’s no way for Kiev regime to win, no matter how much more cannon fodder they chuck against Russian forces. Only 1 way out for Ukraine and that’s complete surrender as Nebenzya kindly informs his UN colleagues: Very soon, only topic at any international meeting on Ukraine will be unconditional surrender of Kiev regime. I advise you all to prepare for this in advance - Russia’s UN Rep. - Intel Republic
😇😇😇😇
The same old vatnik song>>> "Ukraine should just completely surrender to Russia: ( when Russia hasn't done military thing one to force such a surrender or make it an attractive alternative to Ukrainian leaders.) 90%+ of exchanged UA military prisoners end up getting tortured by Russia. In the occupied territories anyone associated with the prior Ukrainian Administration is usually arrested or sometimes subjected to torture or spells in "basement prisons" or they just 'disappear'. Where is there the incentive for UA civilian/military leaders to surrender ??
it's called Russian 'expansionism', Since 1900, Russia or the Soviet Union has invaded China, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Afghanistan, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Finland, Romania, Poland again, Finland again, Germany again, Hungary, Austria, Poland a third time, Romania again, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary (again), Czechoslovakia, Georgia, Ukraine [Crimea], Ukraine[Donbas], Ukraine[whole thing]
The only thing who makes me think twice about a big escalation by Iran on Israel is the Russian SMO in Ukraine. Both Russia and China have very good ties with Iran right now, and with SMO still ongoing, they can't help Iran and probably advice them to hold on the attack and do some small retaliatory strikes.
❤😊MACRON CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
That's for sure!
The majority of the collective west cannot be trusted
comment disappeared. Add to his name, there is a long list
When the media says Iran will revenge attack then it's not going to happen...coz this action is Iranian top secret....it's just a false flag I presume.😂😂
Remember how vatniks/ Putin fanboys dismissed a Russian invasion of Ukraine as something that was "not going to happen" pre-war in Jan to Feb. 2022 ?? I recall all that quite well. I recall even high Russian officials saying that up to a couple of days before the invasion.

Thank you Alexander. Much appreciated. Good day all.
Good analysis
I can't comprehend such eveil, such disregard for himan life, my mind is at a loss. I feel like im living in some alternate dimension. I feel powerless to stop it. Its liike a curse of death embracing the world.
You're not alone. Of course we don't hear about it on the msm, but millions of CITIZENS all over the world are outraged and appalled by these atrocities. Take heart that good will triumph in the end.

Oh yeah small Rivers like the Rhine and Danube....& the Oder and the Vistula on the eastern Polish border.

Of course it'll happen because Americans need a big war to make money and to lessen their debt.

Mr. Alexander, Your prophetic prediction on Iran's retaliation and the consequences was amazing. I had to come back to your video again this morning after reading the headlines to post this. Kudos to your intellect and interpretation. Thanks.
Didn’t start on the 7th of October Alex!
Thank you Alexander, please take good care friend
Thank you, Alexander!
attacking the power generation but not the grid will add to the strain on Ukraine's NATO neighbors, Ukraine will be asking them to supply electricity.
MAJOR DEVELOPMENT: Gagauzia & Russia negotiating a gas deal, suitable for Gagauzian autonomy - the Chairman of Gagauz Parliament, Konstantinov. This would suggest Gagauzia and Moldova will have different energy arrangements. In a bold move, the unrecognized Republic of Gagauzia is threatening to secede from Moldova - if it joins up with Romania & seeks accession to the EU. Transnistria, another unrecognized Republic in Moldova, officially requested protection from Moscow. - Intel Republic

@@MarineScoutSniperputin needs a shoe shine
I love how Alex gets so worked up about "international law". I don't know how many times I have said (on this page) treaties are nothing more than ink on a page. Well I guess I'll just keep saying it.
It is an odd fallback position for a multipolar advocate.
Budapest Memorandum broken by Russia
No they're not. All laws, whether municipal or international, are subject to be either obeyed or broken as the case may be. Municipal laws are in fact more broken by citizens to whom they're addressed than international laws and that doesn't make municipal laws mere ink on paper. What you should understand is that no laws are obeyed 100 percent. It never happens. That said, not everyone is breaking international laws, only a few rogue nations do, and when they do they're rightly called out as outlaws. International laws provide guidance and standard of behavior and judgement as just happened at the ICJ against Israel. Absence international treaties there would be no basis at all to condemn Israel genocide in Gaza or for South Africa to drag her to the ICJ. Now Israel is being regarded as an international outlaw! It can no longer run around calling itself "civilized" nation. So is the US and indeed the entire West supporting her. Israel is suffering because of that. Think about that. It has lost face as an outlaw even at the UN. That's huge damage diplomatically, politically, and even economically, thanks to international law.

Finally Alexander remembers the Middle East is on the brink of nuclear war
The story of how God blinded Pharaoh have always seem implausible to me, until now. It seem the collective west must lose their first born also.

As always Alexander your assesment is spot on.

That world will be grand but not for the West unless the West takes off its diapers and grows up fast.
these are not “mistakes”, but calculated actions by americans
MIScalculated?
Israel does not need an excuse to attack those facilities giving their previous history of such attacks
Towards the end of WW2 the British air force used bombs weighing ten metric tons, three times bigger than the Russian Federations largest glide bombs, the British bombs were never that effective, although they did deafen and kill a lot of people. Incidentally, The German air force used glide bombs very effectively in the Easters Aegean toward the end of WW2 against British naval targets, the bombs had an element of remote control and practically never missed. The British were defeated in this theatre and forced to withdraw, and the big Italian guns of Leros remained in place until the end of the war.
Thanks for your analysis
