Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has created previously unthinkable changes in geopolitics, seemingly overnight. In this vital conversation, political analyst Ian Bremmer takes a closer look at the global implications of the war, including NATO and the EU’s renewed sense of purpose, the spiral of escalation, energy politics and the significant, potentially permanent shifts in the world order.

  1. The Times of Israel
    Leaked report: Israel acknowledges Jews in fact Khazars; Secret plan for reverse migration to Ukraine

  2. es alucinante su eurocentrismo…obviamente qwueeso lo lleva a decir incensateces desde el principio como que el mundo estaba en paz desde la caida del muro de berlin o que la otasn ya no estaba distraida viendo hacia china…el pobre no ve que la Otan es un brazo del tio Sam y el govusa sabe que china es el final del campeonato y que no puede con china y rusia juntos sin pasar a ser un pais en escombros y que dada su deuda ha ce tiempo necesitaq que los euros inviertan en defensa tanto para revertir su deuda como para evitar ser el que banca la "defensa " europea ….de esta manera reactiva la otan consigue inversion de europa mantiene su ventaja sobre una europa que amenazaba con dispararse economicamente al ser menos proclive a conflictos y mas odenada y planificada que usa

    Es sumamente incoherente bajo la suposicion de que los rusos son malos ,como dramon mexicano barato los rusos atacan corredores humanitarios pero solo quieren territorios sin matar muchos ucranianos por no ser mal vistos o maljuzgados ….o sea para entenderlo correcto debere pensar que los rusos matan a los que van a los corredores sin un porque y que si no matan mas es porque no quieren quedar mal …que burro este señor…luego dice que los que estan en las negociaciones estan de acuerdo en que putin quiere tomar kiev y sacar a zelensky…en primer lugar si es un profesional debiera decir los objetivos del gobierno ruso sin personalizar sino viendo por las acciones ,movimientos de tropas y logistica etc cual es el camino ruso y eso no lo saben los negociafdores (no saben ni lo que piense putin ni los objetivos manifiestos en acciones del gobierno ruso ,eso lo saben los militares y estrategas ucranianos y los nortemericanos que los escuelean y los yienen monitoreados por sat4elite…por otro lado si quisiera sacar a zelensky del poder bastaria mandar un teledirigido a pañacio de gobierno de ucrania luego de seguirlo,como este video es ya pasadito varias de sus supocisiones ya no se dieron

    que rusia tiene disposicion a escalar…entonces porque soporto 3 expansiones de la OTAN 8 años de ataques a los habitantes del dombass,el incumplimiento de lso acuerdos de minsk,el rechazo de su propuesta de seguridad y fueron ignorados en su advertencia de lineas rojas desde 2008 duando la Otan anuncio su voluntad de incrporar a ucrania y a gorgia? en fin llego al minuto 14 de este pesimo video pues perdi ya la esperanza de que tenga algo valioso o si lo tiene ya excedio mi capacidad de escuchar insensateces

  3. we will fix the lib new order, AI will take your job, sign up to be a cop, and clean police rapists, anyway the weapons don´t get to Ukraine, we take them from donators, thank you, and anyway, nato squeezed china and russia too far, so now prepare ww3, if you ban gold, then we will shock you, thanks for handing the new order to russia and china, the yuan is getting too strong, so we buy rubles now, and rands, and russia gives us cheap oil, so we capitalize, and please buy btc, tesla, apple, and amazon, so our factories pumping, we on giga 4 now, all you need, and order with features, so we can see you better, leave africa to russia and china bz it is ours, you can have leftist south america for free

  4. I am so sorry you talk about being negative but nothing you said has come to be truth. China, India and parts of South America and Africa are aligning with Putin. Putin is winning, the West is losing. The consequences are are scary as the extinction of bees and the fact that the world is hostage to a set of nuclear weapons and the whims of old men in power.

  5. BS Europe will never be in danger from Russia. Yes, the main problem of yours if Putin will be the winner…it is called the fear l&gand

  6. at this moment 3.7 millons r sleeping 2.3 millons r falling in love 4.1 millon r eating $ only one person in the whole world is reading my sms gud nit

  7. Socialism one size fits all does and will never work, and toss in we want you to eat bugs as well. Globalism is crashing right in front of our eyes, by end 2023 these kazarian should all be dead or prison. Just think what it would mean to live in globalist society, you own nothing no home no car and no beef chicken pork ect. So everyone put into judge dredd movie city, a small 1 room closet and a tracking chip in hand . No more fiat currency but a credit score type system like china has now, if you buy what we want you too buy more credit and if you say or do something we do not like less credit. Total control of our lives just a herd of sheep, no more travel vacation no more food as we knew it. I do know in USA last year alone there was 500 million new gun sales, and I can now carry my gun on my hip. Now we will see crime rate go down like it is in Texas, globalism will never come her NEVER

  8. Wrong propaganda : Russia is not against Jews. Russia against nazism.
    What about criminal NATO? NATO killed more people in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya. Why you are silent on these USA Genocides?

  9. As Ukrainian I agree with his every single word, especially his view on Zelensky

  10. Much more informed analysis by Meirshiemer and Jeffrey Sachs

  11. If China and Russia are being so obviously pro-Russian in the war, then what would be or has been the response from western media? This rhetoric is kind of old and been untrue, that somehow the west is more "neutral" or less "biased" when it comes to reporting any war/conflict it has interest in. In the U.S. they just highlight and blame the last administration response when it comes to war, yet the pretend that they aren't continuing on the same agenda. Anyone with a brain can see a clear and recent example of this with the two decade war in the Middle East. Lets all stop pretending that the west has been the bastion of truth for the world and they're is no known bias coming out of their major networks.

  12. Mr spectacles hasn’t got a clue this is the end of austerity control and most of all the world order has been destroyed

  13. No one cares about Ukraine all we know it belonged to Russia and now it’s going back

  14. The last thing the world needs is a stronger NATO. Unless you want more war.

  15. westerners dont understand the main thing, that so called Ukraine is part of historical Russia, which was criminally split in result of the state coupe and illegal parition of the USSR in 1991

  16. Putin has never been more popular and support for the Russian Gov has dramaticlly increased in Russia after the naked Bigotry and Russophobia of NATO Governments was revealed.
    85% of the world (by pop) are not sanctioning Russia. Russian Diplomats are given movie star welcomes in every capital outside of NATO. Russia's inflation is less than EU's and by demilitarising Ukraine they will permanently secure Russias Western flank from NATO bases and (nuke) Missiles as well as protecting Russian speakers in Ukraine from persecution and violent oppression.
    The only success NATO has had is mildly reducing some Soviet Era Stock piles of Russian military equipment. Meaning after this war the Russian economy will experience a massive Boom as military and civil construction work drives full employment, higher wages and better standards of living.
    Meanwhile people in NATO countries have seen their savings and wages eroded by inflation and burdened with massive energy Bill Rises. Anger at Western Goverments combined with the racism and bigotry that have been openly encouraged by NATO Government and media have turned western countries into seething time bombs of social discontent.

  17. Thanks for your time and efforts to speak about the horrible situation in Ukraine. Hello from Kharkiv! All democratic countries must know about what mr. Putin and his army are doing right now to innocent Ukrainian civilians by shelling big cities and sending missiles straight to highly populated districts. Western Europe and USA should give Ukraine the most potent air defence and the most potent rockets for HIMARS. That way Ukrainian army will end this war far more quicker than it was expected.

  18. When Russia wins, NATO will most likely slowly dissolve. NATO, rather being a defensive organization, has become an offensive terror organization (Iraq, Syria, Lybia, etc.) and trained the Kiev regime to be the same. I see a lot of NATO tactics (e.g. using population as human shields) being used by Kiev forces… especially the terror of the AZOV that has used on the ethnic russian population of the Donbas. Many of the residents are speaking out. There are american, english, german and canadian journalist who live in the Donbas reporting on the atrocities of the Kiev regime. These atrocities have been reported to the UN in 2021, who chose to ignore it. To note… if Russia leaves the Donbas, Kiev regime will just continue to terrorize the population. When they re-took Kherson a few weeks ago, 1309 residents were gathered up and executed for cooperating with Russian forces. Some were accused of being collaborators for simply excepting russia's humanitarian aid. The people of the 4 regions (LPR, DPR, Kherson, Zaporozhya) have voted to join the RF. Russia only wanted these 4 regions but after the referendum… Kiev / NATO forces continue to shell civilian populations of the Donbas. Just yesterday (10/25), they tried an assault of Zaporozhya. Why? Because they want the huge stock of Uranium stored at this NPP. Grossi (in 2021) stated at a WEF conference of his concern of the stockpile at this plant. He was part of the investigative group (IAEA) that visited in earlier weeks after the shelling took place. Kiev forces tried to kidnap the group but was averted by Russian forces. In any case, Russia found evidence that Zelensky regime is planning on dropping 'dirty' bombs. Russel Bentley reported that russian forces found a plane that was carrying these bombs in an airport they captured recently. I'm noticing that the longer this war goes on, we are seeing more dirty secrets unfold by alternative news sources that don't follow the official narrative being deseminated by western media. Also note… 2/3 of Ukraine land is controlled by US and multinational corporations as well as the Khazarian mafia. However, they are not happy with that… they also want the Donbas. Zelensky stated last year in an interview… if russians feel they are russian, for the sake of their children and grandchildren… they should go to Russia. The ethnic russians of Ukraine are leaving… and taking their historical lands with them. This whole event is an example of US meddling. As Jeffery Sachs says…. America is a threat to the world.

  19. Какие замечательные, простые, наивные люди. Они думают, что в россии могут начаться митинги из за того, что западные товары пропадут с полок, а солдаты и лётчики откажутся стрелять по украинцам. Они просто не знают этот рабский менталитет. Если бунтовать и будут, то на коленях и с уважением

  20. This actually only need 5 or 10 minutes long. Instead costing 50 minutes of every human who watch this. 40 minutes is quite precious time for some person.

  21. To say America provided "support" to Mujahedeen to combat Russia is laughable.

  22. The world has one piraja. Its the US whit all it's US vasall states in NATO.
    Is this bloke payd to lie or is he just very very stupid , who knows nothing about what has really happen sins 2013. Nazis ? Aidar , Azov , Kraken , Safari , Right Sector +++. What about Merkels intervue about Minsk agreements??

  23. The war will end when Ukraine has the means to destroy military infrastructure and equipment in Russia itself especially in and near the cities The Russians are as afraid of a nuclear holocaust as the West is If we continue to allow Putin's Nuclear Blackmail other nations will copy Putin
