Jacques Baud is a former member of Swiss strategic intelligence, a specialist in Eastern European countries and head of United Nations peace operations doctrine. He was engaged in negotiations with top Russian military and intelligence officials right after the fall of the USSR. Within NATO, he participated in programs in Ukraine and in particular during the Maidan revolution in 2014.

I'm so happy you began interviewing Jacques Baud regularly. He's an invaluable analyst and commentator.
I 2nd that. His last book is amazing, everyone should read it honestly.
Every Monday, it seems. This was the 3rd Monday anyway. And it is great! Especially since Nima lets his guests talk. Some other youtubers are more interested in hearing themselves talk.
Russia waited 8 years 2014 to 2021 asking to talk and were continually and systematically ignored. The UK, Germany and USA had their chance - exceedingly and copiously - and it is just a little too late now, to put it ridiculously lightly.
Yes.
Empire was given a fair chance to get its act together in December '21. The golden opportunity was wasted. It's gone downhill from there, with latter day Soviet times ahead. Geriatric Boomer elite at the wheel in a decades long stagnated Empire. It's mask fell on 7.October. It's plain for all to see what it was all along. It's over. There is no coming back from this. Bastards all around. Time to learn another language and get the f* out of dodge.
So butcher n genocide sovereign nation, razing civilian towns to the ground, just because people want to choose other way of living,not to stay in a shit hole?) Ukrainians new that is and drunk bear next to them,wanted to imply own will.just because of that wanted NATO
The dying beast is fighting for its last breath . Russia 🇷🇺 should not and must not allow themselves to go soft on it .
Thomas Mann (1875 - 1955): "War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace." Why should Russians accept the bare minimum when Washington's statements, promises, and treaties are worthless asswipe? Ukraine False Hope: there will be no negotiations with Kiev and the White West. Anyone thinking Russia or China will negotiate existential security with lying Western politicians is delusional. The Minsk Treaties are revealed as asswipe intended to allow Ukrainian Nazis time to rearm and continue the war. Germans, French, Ukrainians and Washington don't have the brains or character to appear embarrassed or ashamed of their murderous lies. They gloat over the dead. Russia responded by announcing their goals now require complete destruction of the Zelenskiy regime. Anatoly Antonov (Russian Ambassador to the United States): “The emergence of tanks, bearing Nazi insignia, on the former Soviet soil unequivocally makes us aim at toppling the neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine and creating normal conditions so that the neighboring peoples in the region could live peacefully like in the old days. So it won’t be the vacuous opinions of irrelevant Westerners that define this war’s end. It will be blunt demands and brutal facts on the ground that define Ukraine’s public defeat. This war will end with Washington--NAYOYO humiliated, Russian tanks shaking the ground at western borders, and the Global South dancing drunkenly in the streets for a week. George Carlin: “It’s called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.” Winston Churchill (1944): ”I have left the obvious, essential fact to this point, namely, that it is the Russian Armies who have done the main work in tearing the guts out of the [Nazi] army."
It's increasingly difficult to understand the insanity from this administration.
PNAC Ziocons running the show.. dangerous and incompetent
Its easy, It doesn't have to make sense if it makes dollars.
Something that's beyond insanity is barbaric and sick and unredeemable or unrepairable
if it any comfort it been going on f a long long time. massive sec. increase to uk ra ine during the previous US adm .
I have decided not to vote this year
Mr. Nima R. Alkhorshid is a great talk show host, especially for complex topics. Thank you.
true
Agreed. Another great episode today. He manages to have guests talk about different topics than they do on Judge Nap etc a lot of the time too
Yes. He let's the guests speak at length and explain their ideas and concepts.
The best. With his gentle style he really seems to inspire his guest to extensively explain their perspective.
there are a lot very good... the chinese guy, the US judge, the english parlamentar, the polish woman, the duran and redacted but these are more journalists
I'm not proud of my country but I congratulate Mr. Baud for telling what the diplomats we don't have should say
Vaporized comment #1
The lack of diplomacy and statescraft in todays Europe is not easily understood. US does not have diplomacy it seems but Europe had a history of pragmatic diplomacy even in the 'cold war' now it is all conflict no resolution!
The country is worthy of pride, the government, not so much.
Didn't help matters when Switzerland is hosting WEF year in year out . That should tell you more about a certain aspect of the said country .
The extensive dialogue reveals a disturbing truth - Madison Grant's extremist views on the superiority of White men with blond hair and blue eyes, a belief admired by Adolf Hitler, perpetuates a dangerous myth. The flaws of Europeans as a continent and as individuals, likened to the Edomites of the world, are evident despite the lessons of two world wars and the rise of extreme Neo Nazi racism. The support of a corrupt Neo Nazi Ukrainian government by Europeans and Americans should not be surprising. Europe's failure to learn from its history of paganism and spiritual darkness only invites the return of ancient demons of war, exposing their hypocrisy.
Jacques Baud is absolutely amazing... well informed, solid deep analysis grounded in facts, courageous to go against the whole mainstream that distorts the truth to the point of no recognition... Massive respect for this guy, definitely one of my favorite analysts.
I have been listening to Col. Jacques Baud since the beginning of the Russia/Ukraine conflict in French. Now, It has been better since, he started to reach Anglophone's world. His analysis is on point, and there is no shot cut.
@@tashalorm4313 I also did that, autotranslate does relatively good job and I was watching his interviews in french about an year before he started doing english ones... I honestly thought he doesn't even speak english 🙂
@@zharkoo I prefer to listen to him in French, because it is his native language, and he is articulate. Yes, he definitely speaks English with an accent. He is making a great effort to get to the Anglophone's audience.
@@tashalorm4313 That's true, he's a lot more comfortable speaking french, but the problem is I don't understand what he's saying 🙂 I'm surprised that he started reaching english audience so late, also his books are originally written in french and then translated into english.
@@zharkoo I first saw him in Investig'Action with Michel Colon. I reached out to Michel Colon (Belgium) to translate the segment he had with Jacques Baud. I thought it was important to reach out to Anglophone's public. At least, the Anglophone now can have access with some of his analysis.
Col. Baud always on point! 👏👏
hope the war will stop soon

Switzerland lost its independence like the rest of Europe under pressure from the states and this is very sad...
...in very many ways.
(#NarrativeAlliance)
Ireland , a "neutral " country threw away it's good offices by taking sides against Russia without any mention of the causes that led to the conflict, pathetic diplomacy or more likely bullied by the blood thirsty hegemon ?
Jacques Baud is the best analyst of both Ukraine and Israel currently. So smart it is crazy.
I would add Alastaire Crooke to the list of the best.

Nima, you have one of the best interview channels on KZhead... Bravo!
Col Jacques is superb 🎉🎉🎉
These long-form interviews are much better than the short ones, particularly with this excellent guest. 👍😊
More of this man...Fresh air.
Best interview ever with Jacques. Nima's non-interrupting technique of letting Jacques speak all the way to the end yielded a lot of previous, for me, unknown information.
Just like Afghanistan... NATO and the US are running with their tail between their legs😂
True, but they managed to snatch the gold and treasures. A net minus for the public after wasting $1 Trillion, but that money ended up in elite pockets. Not much left of it in Afghanistan.
@@iRelevant.47.blacklisted 85 billion dollars worth of weapons was left behind for the Taliban though.
Mr. Jacques Baud delivered an insightful lecture, particularly addressing the issue of "no clear objective" concerning the recent financial aid to Ukraine. Thank you so much.
Thank you Nima. Your dialogue works. Thank you for your expertise Colonel Jacques Baud.
Great talk by Mr. Baud. Very informative.
Thank you Nima for inviting Jacques Baud back as a guest, on your wonderful podcast! He is a most knowledgeable and brilliant analyst of international affairs and military conflicts. His assessments of the Ukraine conflict , were all on point and showed great insights into the problems that both led to and perpetuated this tragic conflict. The West knows one response pattern, using brute force and warfare to achieve its goals around the world! The result is always the same, death , destruction and destabilization of entire regions, over and over again. This is pure insanity, and does nothing positive for any of the parties involved in these horrific battles. One would have thought that by now, the West would have learned the futility of such misguided policies, but that is not at all the case.. it is incomprehensible that such catastrophic mistakes , continue to be made! In the case of Ukraine, the country is in ruins, peoples lives largely destroyed and nothing positive gained for Ukraine on any level. Pumping additional arms and money into Ukraine, will in no way alter the outcome of this U.S. and NATO inspired conflict. The only thing it will accomplish is further needless death and destruction of Ukraine, and further territorial losses of once Ukrainian land to the Russian Federation. Jacques’s analysis of the conflict between Israel and Iran, was equally valid and accurate. Again the use of overwhelming and brute force by Israel against the Palestinians and Iran, have not achieved the results Israel desired in the first place. In the case of the Palestinians, tens of thousands of civilians have perished, lands and infrastructure has been obliterated, and a catastrophic humanitarian crisis of the Palestinian civilians has been set in motion. None of Israel’s military objectives have been met., and Israel’s own population and economy have suffered significantly as a result. Iran has shown great restraint in their response to Israel’s brutal attack on their consulate in Damascus, Syria. Israel violated international law and the Geneva Convention in conducting this strike. In its calculated response, Iran successfully hit several military targets in Israel, all of which were used by Israel in its attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria. Iran demonstrated their ability to hit with precision , high value military targets in Israel, while thoroughly evading Israel’s high tech missile defense system in each case. This has forever exploded the long held belief of Israel’s military superiority and invincibility. That has now been refuted, giving Iran a new deterrence capability , and forever changing the balance of power in the Middle East. Again Jacques Baud’s assessments have been incredibly insightful and accurate! It is most unfortunate that no one in positions of power in the West, has any of the knowledge, experience, expertise or insights into such critically important matters that Jacques Baud clearly does. The world would be a lot better off if they did. This endless cycle of warfare, death and destruction, is serving no one’s interests but to give enormous profits to the defense contractors of the U.S. and its Western Allies! What a shame things have to u fold in this pointless manner, and cause immense suffering and death for so many in the process! Thank you Nima for inviting Jacques Baud back as a guest on your podcast. We all benefit from his brilliance and wisdom in so many diverse areas. He gives us all a much better understanding of what is going on around us in the world. You are doing an excellent job keeping us all well informed, please keep up the good work!
Thank you Nima for letting your guests plainly develop their thoughts ! Right and wise attitude 👌
Col. Jacques is tops in his analysis
Col. Jaques Baud 🙏🏼 The best *Another excellent interview. In a sane world Col. Baud would be running NATO/EU foreign policy.
Looks like sane people never make it higher than colonel.
💯
Thank you! You both are good men! We need more Good Men of the World to rise and save us ❤

Jacques Baud being diplomatic, "Im a bit confused about the quality of our politicians."😅 It's wonderful to hear him in English this time so that his wisdom can be spread far and wide beyond the francophone world. Always measured and precise, and always the unvarnished truth. Thank you, Col Baud.
Yet another outstanding interview, Nima. You really are getting the best commentators to produce their best work at such an important time. Congratulations. It is so refreshing to find a content producer who knows how to listen and get the most enlightening materials from all his guests..
Great guest
Merci infiniment d’avoir invité le plus grand analyste géopolitique de l’Europe. 🙏🏼🕯🕯🙏🏼 Très sincèrement Paris
I'm always listening in Changchun, China.
Extraordinary interview!
M. Baud a much needed voice for sanity - full of wisdom, and political / practical knowledge. We need more of him. Felicitations for bringing him on to the prog.
Really wonderful interview. Thank you both
Kaixo Nima and Jacques😉 Always a pleasure to hear true geopolitic from wise people. Keep up the good work.👍
Imagine yourself as a soldier on the front line, you may not see the sunrise tomorrow, your family will be broken hearted on hearing that you have died. You have to kill your fellow man on the "other" side...with whom you have most in common; because some politicians and their filthy rich friends must not lose face or try to get elected...it's infuriating and utterly tragic, shame on all of those who refuse to talk or who use this war to enrich themselves....shame on those who try to silence the voices of reason and the voices of peace.
This was the message both Lenin and Debs gave their respective nations during WWI. Lenin was exiled and Debs was put in jail.
Yes, it is really sad what Putin is doing to make a few of his friends even richer. Russia is evil.
Thank you that was an amazing interview 👍
Why person like Mr Baud are not leading us?
our political systems are apparently designed to prevent people like him from having any executive power. The west (and its puppets) are governed by the ignorant and stupid.
Dear Jossie. Mr Baud would have to find the donating corporations and willing to follow their personal interests/agenda to even become a member of Congress..! Those in power of decision making members are career politicians for decades in Congress like Pelosi..! 80+ and still member of congress thanks to the corporate elite. Demo or Rep it doesn't matter. They share the same agenda. Not america first..! AmericanS first..! 34 trillion $ federal debt..! 30 million+ americans impoverished..! Joe never fixed that problem..! Will Trump have hold his magic want and fix the american dream? Nope. More money to Ukraine i guess cose the american arms industrial complex shareholders are ruling Congress by donating huge amounts of money.Politicians don't rule in the Us. It's the rich elite.That's why mr Baud would not be allowed to become a member in that rat swamp congress..!
Nima is an excellent listener -- quite a rare skill Hats Off
Thank you, gentlemen! 🙏🏻💪🙏🏻
Excellent review from Jacques Baud !
Very well informed guest, actually the most informed about situation in Ukraine among those who Nima invites to his program, and, unlike Americans guests, he doesn't butcher the names. I'm impressed, since I didn't think there was this level of understanding of the conflict among the western analysts, but Jacques proved me wrong. With Bucha, this was clearly an MI-6 orchestrated operation which persuaded two goals: on one hand to accuse Russians in the civilian massacre, but no less important goal was to send an internal message to Ukrainians - if you will collaborate with Russians, this is what will happen to you. It would be super easy to remove white bands (sign of neutrality and posing no danger to Russian troops) from the arms of corpses carefully staged along the street, but they were left on them with the purpose of internal message. It worked for a while, as it raised the level of hatred for Russia among Ukrainians, but no longer is the case, since there is a steady flow of Ukrainian civilians who go to Russia from the third countries, like from Poland via Belarus, via Turkey etc. Assuming they can pass the filtration process by the Russian FSB (like FBI in US). They are given a resident status in a region where they decide to settle and even a chance to apply for a full Russian citizenship after 3 months. For many this beats their uncertain status in Europe which offered little to Ukrainian migrants in terms of economic opportunity and a chance to settle permanently in a new place. Starting this week all Ukrainian consulates abroad were given instructions not to process requests for new documents, extensions etc. to any Ukrainian men of a military age that do not present a permit for them to leave the country from the military recruitment center. The path to citizenship in EU county can be long and difficult and to take a long time. Are they trying to push these men to go to Russia where there is no language barrier and no danger of being sent to war? Zelensky doesn't care...
FOCUS. He said focus. Hearing’s not what it used to be. Great interview! Thanks!
#fockus
It might have been a Freudian slip to pronounce it as Fucus , how apt to describe the politicians inept actions that could easily lead to a World War ...the idiots are capable of anything
Col. Jacques Baud Thank you sir. for your analyses. You are very true.
And another brilliant interview with a brilliant guest. Thank you Nima😊
The Rand corporation plan risks have all materialized and the outcome is even worse than the authors anticipated.
The United States is used to politics from a position of strength, but these times are over and they must come to terms with a multipolar world!
True. Golden days ahead. Problem with the ruling elite is they're like a big has been movie star who nobody no longer knows who is ... pray anti-aging gene therapy don't make any revolutionary progress in the near future.

How interesting ! I love Mr Baud so much that I listen to him in English as well as in French ! And everytime I learn something. I read his books too, of course. He is the only one who makes me understand the situation so clearly. The Swiss people can be proud of him. (I'm French) Thank you for inviting him.
One of the very best interview analyses about what's going on. 👍👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you gents.great conversation.
It is always a pleasure listening to Col. Baud.
Great talk❤❤❤
This channel always gives fresh new information & perspectives. Thanks.
While everyone looks at the strategic and tactical situation in Ukraine on the battlefield the US has run away with the prize. It broke the trading relationship between Germany and Russia and for a while has slowed the Belt and road initiative with China at the European end and is now controlling European energy prices of LNG.
Very informative and knowledgeable analysis .
Thanks Jacques🙏🙏🙏
Happy to see Jacques Baud here. My first time listening to him in English
This chanel invites the best guests. Thanks.
Apart from Hungary having the cleanest shirt in Europe regarding Ukraine, it is worth mentioning non-NATO Serbia has a virtually stainless shirt as well. The Greek, Bulgarian and Romanian governments does not seem to care much about their historical diaspora.
We Serbs already lived through almost identical war in the 1990s, we know excellent what's exactly happening over there. Being surrounded and pressured by NATO, we have to keep quiet for now.
@@djape1977 My reply vaporized ... freedom and democracy is so cool. /s
Yeah. During the Cold War, all major meetings between the Eastern and Western blocs took place in neutral countries. And it wasn't just Switzerland. It was Austria, Sweden, or Finland. The world needs neutral countries now more than ever. Unfortunately, to the detriment of even the neutral countries themselves, they are rapidly diminishing. In Europe, only Austria remains neutral. Many people do not understand that belonging to a bloc does not mean greater security or prosperity. Exactly the opposite is true.
Thank you mr Baud for this wonderful analysus9 1:27:06
Nice Q and A once again Nima , always appreciated.
Super guest!
It's almost always colonels and lower that offer good insights or speak out against this war. All the generals however tow the line and support it and even say the most ridiculous sh1t. It would appear that becoming part of the generals club you must sell your soul.
Yeah.usually the lower ranks have a much better idea of how the enemy is fighting because they are the ones ACTUALLY DOING THE FIGHTING 😅
"Soul" is a polite term...
Exactly.
Exception: Germany: General Kujat, General Vad and General Schultze-Rhonhoff are active Truth teller. Of course, after the retirement.
@@ninopavkovic9382 General Cavoli has also been very honest within the confines of his job.

31:25 Allen Dulles wasn't the "head" of the OSS, that was Wild Bill Donovan. Dulles was "the Swiss desk", Herengasse 23 or something, a quaint little place where this failure of a man got to throw parties, cheat on his wife, and be lied to- over and over and over. During the war and after, and way after, whenever anyone analyzed what Dulles "collected" in Bern...it was either gibberish, or Nazi propoganda. The man loved his Nazis. Many came to him with BS gossip, and in exchange he hid their wealth or got them transport, or other services. He also loved Bern, always romanticized it, even went back when his fourth or fifth "restart" didnt work and he kept failing at life. But Bern, the drinks, the scenery, the housing, the gossip, and being a "popular man"...that worked for Dulles.
Outsourced military is logical after outsourcing manufacturing. Next step is privatization of military
