I left the north of England as an engineer. I look from afar with dismay at what has happened to the UK and how evil the leadership has become. They have committed war crimes with and for their master and now the way they are arming Ukraine is evil, we all around the world know the horrors of depleted uranium and they are supplying them to Ukraine. It will make the land useless and there will be thousands of innocent civilians with horrific cancers for years, decades in fact, this is totally evil I hope they pay for it,
It is shameful. A national disgrace. And there is nothing about it in the MSM here at all.
What kind of society drones on about Net Zero, while green lighting DU?
I guess it’s as much as we can expect from a society that throws its taxpayers cash at the only country in the world building statues and naming streets after holocaust war criminals.
IMHO, the use of DU especialy in the very fertile chernozem areas of 404, is to deny Russia’s use of the agricultural potential of that area. About every types of grains and produces coming to market would be totaly unmarketable because of the radioactivity and or the micro particles of DU in the soil;thereby destroying the agricultural potential of the new areas captured by Russian. The west doesn’t care about Russia and 404, because just like NordStream did for energy, the same would apply for agriculture. 404 is a competitor to be eliminated in the grain economy. Quite an evil plan.
I an sorry but when were the English or their English Parliament trustworthy or benevolent towards any country that it over ran conquered vanquished or whatever I say it was always evil and looking at how it treats its poor today when was it ever any other way. Oh and dont forget its the English people/voters who elect the vast majority of MPs so theyre responsible for the English parliaments actions overall the only thing that might help fix it is PR but I believe the English are to stupid with no political savvy to vote for it and thus give themselves a chance.
It’s the same here in the united states,, the idiot Trumpers saying make America great again when it never was… There are a lot of good things about America but when you have social investment of the type that creates serial killers and School shooters by the dozen,, at the same time it creates these billionaires who start developing weird social design schemes concurrent with a 20 trillion dollar military establishment,, something has to be lacking… Same with the UK,, basically decent people who develop this self centered attitude and it’s no wonder there’s wackos all over the place,, acting like voting is anything other than just picking which stooge you want to lie to you…
Really!! Ask the Mowhawks, Iroqouis, Seminoles, Shawnee, Pawnee, Cherokee, Comanche, Apache, Navajo, Lakota, Blackfeet, African slaves, etc. how great they consider the US to have been in its glorious moral history!
When Princess Diana died in the car crash, I remember an interview the archbishop of Canterbury had with the media. As he was giving his opinion on to whether Diana was killed or was the victim of an accident, he said: the English are a vicious lot. I knew then he meant the elite and not the People.
The English must overthrow these freeloaders.
Thank you for your calm & reasoned exposition of both the local situation and bigger picture. Sadly, you are largely ‘preaching to the choir.’ Our (so-called) leaders will not hear, let alone cleave to, your comments.
“The feat of deputy Ivanov Dmitry Ivanov, deputy of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Khakassia. He was in the Bakhmut area as part of the Wagner assault unit. Died March 27th. Information about Ivanov’s participation in the PMC is confirmed from the report of the commander of one of the Wagner assault squads. The report indicates that on March 27 at 06:30 in the morning one of the units of the Defense Ministry, which was on the left flank of the “Orchestra”, left its position, thereby exposing the flank. Seeing this, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine sent a group of infantry consisting of 30 people there, as well as 2 infantry fighting vehicles to try to strike.
The commander of the ShO decided to use part of the personnel to stop the advance of the APU group in the area of Ivanovsky (Krasnoe). A group of attack aircraft in the amount of 4 people under the command of Dmitry moved to the forefront. Ivanov, using the terrain, distributed his people to repel the attack.
A shot from an SPG-9 hit one of the infantry fighting vehicles, and about 12 enemy people were also destroyed. During the ensuing battle, one of the attack aircraft was killed, another was seriously wounded, Ivanov himself received a shell shock as a result of a close arrival of a shot from an BMP-1. Remaining in position, Dmitry continued to fight, with RPG fire he destroyed the second BMP-1 of the enemy.
Dmitry Ivanov died from shrapnel wounds as a result of an enemy grenade explosion. As a result of Dmitry’s actions, the enemy was pinned down before the approach of the main forces of the ShO, later, the reserves that came up completely destroyed the mechanized group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The commander of the assault detachment petitioned for Dmitry Ivanov to be awarded the Order of Courage (posthumously). The report was drawn up on March 28th.”
And NATO claims the russians will fold and run away from a Ukie Assault in panic…..
There is something about analyzing events that can reach conclusions about results but not motivation. There are well educated people here in Canada that believe in things and are in favor of events that can only be described by Greed, Emotion or Tribalism. If that is the case our world will always be in War as there is nothing reasonable about these events.
As far as I know, Ukrainians were Orthodox in the past with a very small exception and a percentage of Catholics along the border with Poland. I assume that the intolerant (Stalinist) communists denied all religions equally. I also think that the Holodomor affected all Soviet citizens, but of course more the area of agricultural Ukraine, regardless of whether there were Tatars, Jews, Germans, Ukrainians, Russians, etc. So I am quite convinced that instant hatred was created by seventy years of propaganda of infantile nationalism, which in fact had no realistic basis. Today in Russia and on the land of Donbas live millions of people whose surnames end in “shenko”, “enko”, “shchuk”, “chuk” … and occupy high social and military positions. And everyone’s native language is Russian, as well as current Ukrainian politicians at home, as well as fighters on the front line when panic and a fierce battle arise. I’m not denying the Ukrainian language by any chance, it’s beautiful and interesting like most Slavic languages and dialects. But all this is a violent fake created in centers for thought deviations.
Western Ukrainians are Uniats. They are under Pope, but not fully Catholic. Hatred has been cultivated for centuries. Stepan Bandera was a son of Uniate priest, and was burning Orthodox Churches with people in them. Modern day Banderites have separated burning churches from killing for PR reasons.
It’s working Larry, by God it’s working. More and more people are seeking and tuning in to the Truth. Thanks to you, Col. McGregor, Scott Ritter, The Duran, The Judge and all those speaking truth to empire. Thank you all.
PS. The elite have consolidated the MSM and will not allow any opposition not even one Tucker Carlson. Tucker began framing a presidential debate between Trump and RK, Jr. I think this could be one of the reasons he was deplatformed.
The elite can’t allow it and Biden must be re-elected.
Larry, here is another thing to endear you to the Tobacco industry. In the 90s, I conducted some research on how the Tobacco Industry manipulated Nicotene concentration in their cigarettes. The average cigarette had 13mg of nicotine, yet the cigarettes sold in Black neighborhoods had a nicotine concentration of up to 35mg. You see in Black neighborhoods, people couldn’t afford to buy a whole pack at a time, so they bought cigarettes one to three at a time. This purchasing pattern increased the time between each cigarette and that would allow nicotine concentrations in the blood to diminish. So to keep the addiction from ever subsiding they increased the nicotine concentration for cigarettes sold in Black neighborhoods.
So blacks were given more bang for the buck than whites. Almost 3 times as much. And whites had to suck down almost 3 times as much carcinogenic smoke as did blacks in order to get the same amount of nicotine.
May I suggest you publish transcripts of these podcasts? There are automatic services to do it.
Podcasts make life easier for the speakers, but they are Hell-on-Wheels for the viewer. I can quickly scan a transcript for nuggets, without having to spend 1 hr 20+ min passively listening.
I don’t listen to anyone’s podcasts anymore. Reasons are: awful speaking voices, terrible sound quality, or the speaker’s delusion of having a sense of humor.
General Cornwallis surrendered to Washington and his French allies in 1781. It wasn’t the end of the British Empire, that empire did very nicely thank you for a longtime afterwards.
The empire didn’t close shop because it was on the winning side in WW2, or because it’s ‘end by date’ was 1945. It ceased trading because its support base, the commonwealth nations, turned against them.
On a comparable litmus test, the USA losing the support of Saudi Arabia, and it now looks like end game with the UAE as well, the only question remaining is how long US reserves will keep them afloat. The British put their money on the “special relationship”… who now wants to have a “special relationship” with the USA?
Check out the list of countries who still have their currencies tied to the $USD, or use the $USD as legal tender.
Keep calm, carry on and be ready to duck and cover when you see the flash…_
British Empire, known these days as Great Britain, has always been evil incarnate. Dishonest and devious throughout its colonial history. How else could it have established “the sun never sets on the British Empire”, with such puny materiel resources (apart from a superb navy)? Just to give an example:
You may or may not have heard of Robert Clive and Bengal. If so, please Google it. Don’t take my word for it. This was at the beginning of the takeover and colonization of India, first through the East India Company and then the Crown itself. At that time, the State of Bengal in India was a hugely prosperous state with immense wealth, ruled by a Nawab named Siraj Ud-Daulah. He also had a huge, very powerful army. The British could only muster a few hundreds of locally enrolled soldiers to face that army (of course with British Officers). There was no way they could defeat the Nawab. So they resorted to “Divide, Conquer and Rule” along with a good dose of Deceit (the same tactics adopted shamelessly by our own country USA). They told the commander of the Nawab’s army that if he assisted the British in conquering the Nawab, they would name him the next Nawab. The idiot fell for it. When the puny British army faced the huge army of the Nawab and the battle began (in 1757), almost the entire Nawab’s army switched sides. Nawab had no option but to capitulate. That enabled the British to loot Nawab’s huge treasury and ship its fabulous wealth to London. According to a Western historian (I have his book packed in some box in the basement somewhere, because of change in our home. I will look for it if anyone is interested), it is that looted immense wealth that financed the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain! It is the western historian saying it!
As per character, the British double crossed the military commander! How could they trust someone who betrayed his own Nawab? Anyway, from then on, subsequent Nawabs of Bengal were just puppets of the British, who continued to loot the State of Bengal through heavy taxes to such an extent that the most prosperous state in India became the poorest state in India! Talk about plunder. It is estimated that the British looted $41 trillion dollars from its colonies, most of it from India. No wonder, the once fabulously rich and prosperous India became a third world country with 90% illiteracy, when it finally became independent in 1947.
You see, Europe (including Britain, but excluding Imperial Russia) was always resource-poor. The only way for it to prosper (and become Josep’s “Garden” surrounded by a “Jungle”), especially when the economy became industry-based requiring resources it did not have, was to conquer and loot the rest of the world. That is exactly what they did. Europeans have always been colonists, colonizing and exploiting the rest of the world for their sole benefit. Not only did they exploit defenseless colonies, but looked down upon the people as Untermensch (inferior humans). The same mentality persists even today among Europeans and of course the so-called Combined West, a product of Europe’s conquests.
Unfortunately, those days when your military planted a flag in someone’s territory and declared that territory to now belong to the King/Queen of that military are long gone. But physical occupation, domination and exploitation has been replaced in the modern world by economic, financial and technological domination, with the former colony of England, aka USA leading the pack! The so-called globalists, neo-liberals and neo-cons are nothing but neo-colonists (that is the most appropriate term for them), who have the same colonist agenda as in days past, but disguised differently to exert hegemonic control over the rest of the world and exploit it. I am very glad that BRICS are poised to put an end to this neo-colonism, ending the exploitation of the “jungle” for the sole prosperity of the “garden”.
Nice analysis,, yeah the USA with the Monroe Doctrine and then manifest destiny stooged the entire western hemisphere and was really just the essence of the British empire without even the common humanity to call it a commonwealth… The American way just leaves a cutthroat regime,, basically bought with enough weapons and ammunition to keep the dictator in power.. the British empire liked stable Kings and related kinds of figures,, whereas the United States prefers military junta’s that come one right after the other, basically each taking less amount of actual support by doing a macabre competition.. the Reagan administration corporatists really went all out by hiring the contras in central America though,, and no amount of propaganda can erase the video of the church ladies being dug out of shallow Graves after being horribly raped and murdered.. this is the kind of nutcase allies Wall Street wants…
You should make a distinction between Western Europeans and Eastern ones. Slavs are Europeans that have not been colonizing Africa/America/etc, and have been considered untermensch by the West all along. Nazis killed more Slavs than all of the others combined, by a very large margin.
Sounds like the Brits outsmarted all of you lot and now you are just coping. Why are India, Bangledesh, Pakistan, and Myanmar (former British India) all still raging hellholes 80 years after the British left?
Takes that long to climb back up, if even an impoverished and destroyed people can.
I note you put india in your list, now the 4th largest economy of the world. China too suffered its ‘century of humiliation’.
It is starting to happen in the Global South, to the chagrin and consternation of the soulless, imperial, collective West. This recovery is being shepherded by Russia and the BRICS+.
There is a Great Reckoning coming. Be afraid, assho1e. Be very afraid.
I’m on the same page wrt podcasts. I don’t listen. Too much time spent on those with other things to do. I scan written articles quickly to get the message. Besides, my learning impairment coincides with listening. I comprehend by reading, studying, and analyzing. No offense meant.
Larry……you’re in error on your religious summary.
Western Ukraine is Greek Catholic, Poland is predominantly Roman Catholic. Those are two COMPLETELY different things, they’re not even close.
Up until 1962 (VCII) the Greek Catholic Liturgy was still in OCS (Old Church Slavonic) exactly as the current Russian Orthodox Liturgy is. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church however had translated the Liturgy into Ukrainian from OCS. All the Rituals are the same in all the above Liturgies, just that the Uk Orthodox used Ukrainian. The difference between the Russian Orthodox and Greek Catholic Liturgies were the 4 verses during the service where the Archbishops and Metropolitan(s) are prayed for, in the Greek Catholic version the Pope is mentioned there. Up till 1962, that was all the difference there was.
In 1962, it changed, a scalpel was taken to the Greek Catholic Liturgy chopping two Ektenias out of it and translating it into Ukrainian from OCS.
The main point here is that in Galicia, the people are Greek Catholic, in Poland they are predominantly Roman Catholic. In Ukraine you cannot say Ukrainian Catholic as that is ambiguous as you might mean a Roman(Western) Catholic or Greek(Byzantine) Catholic person that happens to be Ukrainian.
Have you ever wondered how “the US” can afford to pay for its perpetual wars, MIC, world-wide military bases, threatening military “exercises”, gifts of “money” to its vassal states such as Ukraine, etc.?
I agree with the Calcoolator here who points out that Bolsheviks, like the woke of today, were against every religion, not just Catholics, while Russia and Ukraine were mostly Orthodox Christians. Russian Christians never fought against or hated Ukrainian Christians. Also, the churches were attacked under Lenin, and then, later, under Khrushchev (who was the Communist Party leader of Ukraine). During WWII and under Stalin, as a matter of fact, the Russian patriarchy’s rights were actually restored.
Wonderful, Larry, some succinct commentary about the disconnect of reason of the globalist agenda (green, climate change etc.) and how it plays out in real geopolitical terms. Globalism is a political movement that, if you consider the deindustrialization aspects, are in conflict with any military adventurism. And you are correct that most of Europe, the EU countries, the NATO countries are all captured by globalist governments. Also the US, Canada, N.Zealand, Australia; all are strutting the anti-Russian anti Chinese policies while at the same time dismembering the industrial ability to conduct war. One could add the sanctions policy, the blowing up of pipelines to this list where the economic blow back against the West is actually welcomed. I sum it all up by saying that for globalists success is failure and failure is success. People call Biden the worst president in US history. Now you know why and yet if you ask the average citizen, there is little awareness of globalists. For most military pundits, they think globalism is wrapped up in some vague hegemonic partnership with the US Empire. It isn’t.
And one of the goals for globalists is population reduction. Now think Covid and vaxxing.
Great interview. Thanks for doing this.
L. (the other Larry Johnson)
Regarding the UK military and the stadium-filling Army – Well, “in the Navy” the HMS Prince of Wales, the UK’s second carrier, is undergoing repairs in drydock. The repairs were originally estimated to cost 3 million pounds, now estimated at 20 million pounds. Both propellers or shafts are found to need repair. The latest report I read indicates they are now taking parts off the Prince of Wales to repair the QE!!! That is a *bad* idea, never disassemble a working bit of gear to fix a broken one. ETA to patrol Taiwan straits?
Your recent interview with Angry War Hawk. Your coverage of the Sudan situation just illustrates how evil certain governance in the US is. It looks like the center of Evil on this planet is in the US. Just can’t believe it. In my view it’s centered on the international financial cabal that are really the ones who are givi g “orders” for their world domination of the western leadership . When one links the dots one can only reach that conclusion. That’s the only way to understand the developments taking place. My question is how to really make those evil people pay.
It’s even worse than YOU imagine, Larry. The Congressional testimony here, and the responses given under questioning, are beyond even the things you’ve said. Video and a text run-down of the excerpts here:
These people had better hope we never see major civil unrest in this country. You could give them any set of advantages you want, and they would still lose to any determined opponents. As they have. This article is why.
And if they declared war on the cartels??? I’m not sure the USA would still be a country 5 years later.
With a little more preparation Angry War Hawk wouldn’t come across as so nervous and “fumbly.” Angry War Hawk struggling to find the right words is distracting.
Prepare thoroughly and you are ready for the surprises that are evitable and sure to pop up in one of these very long interviews.
Larry, The US, via Cookies Nuland, appears to have had a hand in the Sudan conflict.
ABC News Feb. 11, 2023 – Russia and Sudan ruling military reach agreement on Russian Navy base on the Red Sea. The agreement awaits formation of a civilian government and legislative body to ratify agreement. The ABC article also reports that, after talks between senior Russian officials in Moscow, the Rapid Support Forces Commander, Gen. Dagalo did not object to establishing a base on its territory.
Jan 2023, UN Sec General Guterres announces agreement among military and civilian leaders to launch the final phase of political process towards restoring a civilian led- transition in Sudan.
March 9, 2023, Victoria Nuland magically appears in Sudan to discuss democracy. before April 11 date set for signing political settlement and formation of transitional authority and signing of new transitional constitution in early April.
April 8, 2023, Civil war erupts in Sudan.
See, Sudan Cliff notes https://www.uncoverdc.com/2023/04/25/the-sudan-war-the-u-s-and-ukraine-look-deeper/

I can feel your jealous seething through the screen. Stay mad.

Unfortunately, those days when your military planted a flag in someone’s territory and declared that territory to now belong to the King/Queen of that military are long gone. But physical occupation, domination and exploitation has been replaced in the modern world by economic, financial and technological domination, with the former colony of England, aka USA leading the pack! The so-called globalists, neo-liberals and neo-cons are nothing but neo-colonists (that is the most appropriate term for them), who have the same colonist agenda as in days past, but disguised differently to exert hegemonic control over the rest of the world and exploit it. I am very glad that BRICS are poised to put an end to this neo-colonism, ending the exploitation of the “jungle” for the sole prosperity of the “garden”.
Nice analysis,, yeah the USA with the Monroe Doctrine and then manifest destiny stooged the entire western hemisphere and was really just the essence of the British empire without even the common humanity to call it a commonwealth… The American way just leaves a cutthroat regime,, basically bought with enough weapons and ammunition to keep the dictator in power.. the British empire liked stable Kings and related kinds of figures,, whereas the United States prefers military junta’s that come one right after the other, basically each taking less amount of actual support by doing a macabre competition.. the Reagan administration corporatists really went all out by hiring the contras in central America though,, and no amount of propaganda can erase the video of the church ladies being dug out of shallow Graves after being horribly raped and murdered.. this is the kind of nutcase allies Wall Street wants…
Cope and seethe. The US lives rent-free in your pea brain. LOL
You should make a distinction between Western Europeans and Eastern ones. Slavs are Europeans that have not been colonizing Africa/America/etc, and have been considered untermensch by the West all along. Nazis killed more Slavs than all of the others combined, by a very large margin.
I would be interested in the title of the book you mentioned. Will try to find it. Thank you. Paul
Sounds like the Brits outsmarted all of you lot and now you are just coping. Why are India, Bangledesh, Pakistan, and Myanmar (former British India) all still raging hellholes 80 years after the British left?
Takes that long to climb back up, if even an impoverished and destroyed people can.
I note you put india in your list, now the 4th largest economy of the world. China too suffered its ‘century of humiliation’.
It is starting to happen in the Global South, to the chagrin and consternation of the soulless, imperial, collective West. This recovery is being shepherded by Russia and the BRICS+.
There is a Great Reckoning coming. Be afraid, assho1e. Be very afraid.
Regarding De-Dollarization as discussed in the interview, Martin Armstrong did a blog post recently about this.

I’m on the same page wrt podcasts. I don’t listen. Too much time spent on those with other things to do. I scan written articles quickly to get the message. Besides, my learning impairment coincides with listening. I comprehend by reading, studying, and analyzing. No offense meant.
Larry……you’re in error on your religious summary.
Western Ukraine is Greek Catholic, Poland is predominantly Roman Catholic. Those are two COMPLETELY different things, they’re not even close.
Up until 1962 (VCII) the Greek Catholic Liturgy was still in OCS (Old Church Slavonic) exactly as the current Russian Orthodox Liturgy is. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church however had translated the Liturgy into Ukrainian from OCS. All the Rituals are the same in all the above Liturgies, just that the Uk Orthodox used Ukrainian. The difference between the Russian Orthodox and Greek Catholic Liturgies were the 4 verses during the service where the Archbishops and Metropolitan(s) are prayed for, in the Greek Catholic version the Pope is mentioned there. Up till 1962, that was all the difference there was.
In 1962, it changed, a scalpel was taken to the Greek Catholic Liturgy chopping two Ektenias out of it and translating it into Ukrainian from OCS.
The main point here is that in Galicia, the people are Greek Catholic, in Poland they are predominantly Roman Catholic. In Ukraine you cannot say Ukrainian Catholic as that is ambiguous as you might mean a Roman(Western) Catholic or Greek(Byzantine) Catholic person that happens to be Ukrainian.
Hope that makes sense.
Cheers,

Have you ever wondered how “the US” can afford to pay for its perpetual wars, MIC, world-wide military bases, threatening military “exercises”, gifts of “money” to its vassal states such as Ukraine, etc.?
Here is the one and only answer:
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/mediocre-tailing-7y-auction-sees-solid-foreign-demand
Should that “demand” suddenly disappear, the US’s perpetual wars will suddenly stop (as will the US’s war-based “economy”).
Should that demand remain or increase, so will the extent and strength of the US’s perpetual wars and its war-based “economy”.
Do the buyers of these trillions of “dollars” worth of Treasuries realize that they are directly funding perpetual war? You tell me.
Can you check the spam/bot filter.
Thanks…_
I agree with the Calcoolator here who points out that Bolsheviks, like the woke of today, were against every religion, not just Catholics, while Russia and Ukraine were mostly Orthodox Christians. Russian Christians never fought against or hated Ukrainian Christians. Also, the churches were attacked under Lenin, and then, later, under Khrushchev (who was the Communist Party leader of Ukraine). During WWII and under Stalin, as a matter of fact, the Russian patriarchy’s rights were actually restored.
Wonderful, Larry, some succinct commentary about the disconnect of reason of the globalist agenda (green, climate change etc.) and how it plays out in real geopolitical terms. Globalism is a political movement that, if you consider the deindustrialization aspects, are in conflict with any military adventurism. And you are correct that most of Europe, the EU countries, the NATO countries are all captured by globalist governments. Also the US, Canada, N.Zealand, Australia; all are strutting the anti-Russian anti Chinese policies while at the same time dismembering the industrial ability to conduct war. One could add the sanctions policy, the blowing up of pipelines to this list where the economic blow back against the West is actually welcomed. I sum it all up by saying that for globalists success is failure and failure is success. People call Biden the worst president in US history. Now you know why and yet if you ask the average citizen, there is little awareness of globalists. For most military pundits, they think globalism is wrapped up in some vague hegemonic partnership with the US Empire. It isn’t.
And one of the goals for globalists is population reduction. Now think Covid and vaxxing.
Great interview. Thanks for doing this.
L. (the other Larry Johnson)
Regarding the UK military and the stadium-filling Army – Well, “in the Navy” the HMS Prince of Wales, the UK’s second carrier, is undergoing repairs in drydock. The repairs were originally estimated to cost 3 million pounds, now estimated at 20 million pounds. Both propellers or shafts are found to need repair. The latest report I read indicates they are now taking parts off the Prince of Wales to repair the QE!!! That is a *bad* idea, never disassemble a working bit of gear to fix a broken one. ETA to patrol Taiwan straits?
Your recent interview with Angry War Hawk. Your coverage of the Sudan situation just illustrates how evil certain governance in the US is. It looks like the center of Evil on this planet is in the US. Just can’t believe it. In my view it’s centered on the international financial cabal that are really the ones who are givi g “orders” for their world domination of the western leadership . When one links the dots one can only reach that conclusion. That’s the only way to understand the developments taking place. My question is how to really make those evil people pay.
It’s even worse than YOU imagine, Larry. The Congressional testimony here, and the responses given under questioning, are beyond even the things you’ve said. Video and a text run-down of the excerpts here:

These people had better hope we never see major civil unrest in this country. You could give them any set of advantages you want, and they would still lose to any determined opponents. As they have. This article is why.
And if they declared war on the cartels??? I’m not sure the USA would still be a country 5 years later.
With a little more preparation Angry War Hawk wouldn’t come across as so nervous and “fumbly.” Angry War Hawk struggling to find the right words is distracting.
Prepare thoroughly and you are ready for the surprises that are evitable and sure to pop up in one of these very long interviews.
Larry, The US, via Cookies Nuland, appears to have had a hand in the Sudan conflict.
ABC News Feb. 11, 2023 – Russia and Sudan ruling military reach agreement on Russian Navy base on the Red Sea.
