Interview: Dr. Paul Craig Roberts on US Hegemony

[BCP1928]

Can you quote him on that? I don't believe that you can read his mind; and I suspect that this is a fabrication of your imagination.

Do you agree with Roberts that we should stop supporting the Crusader government in Israel?

 

[HARK!]

Do you agree with Roberts that we should stop supporting the Crusader government in Israel?

When did he mention a Crusader government anywhere?

 

[BCP1928]

When did he mention a Crusader government anywhere?

Netanyahu's government. My understanding is that he doesn't support the actions of Israel in Gaza or with respect to Lebanon and Iran. Do you?

 

[HARK!]

No. Do you?

 

[DaisyDay]

So he thinks Trump's appeasement to.his dictatorial role model is preferable?

Don't cross the Bear!

He is a supply side economics guy. Remember Reagan's Trickle Down theory aka Voodoo Economics? He's a smart, spectacularly well informed guy, but that doesn't make him right about this. Intelligent people can be just as wrong as not-so-intelligent ones, and even less likely to question their own conclusions.

I don't see what the subject of your biased opinion has to do with the topic of this thread.

I don't see what the subject of your biased opinion has to do with the topic of this thread.

It's wonderful how willing you are to criticize/insult other people's opinions without bothering to understand their point at all. No requests for clarification or anything - so fearless! But I'll let you in on a little secret - the subject of my post is the subject of this thread! Dr. Paul Craig Roberts! I know, right? Who could've possibly figured that one out or even've hazarded a guess from my unfortunately obscure post? Thank you for pointing out how unintelligible my point was to you - I'll endeavor to do better!

I hope this clears up your expressed confusion. If not, please feel free to inquire about anything else in my post that you can't see the point of.

I'll let you in on a little secret too. I'm not the topic of this thread either.

Please don't derail my thread.

Sorry - I was doing my best to address your concerns regarding my post which was actually about the subject of this thread. Again, I'm sorry if my points are unclear.

Please don't derail my thread.

I'm trying not to derail while at the same time addressing your concern regarding my post which was about the subject of this thread, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts.

Btw, thank you for posting such an interesting video by Canadian Prepper, whoever he may be, even though it lacked a synopsis. Is there a particular point I should be commenting on, if not about Dr. Paul Craig Roberts? I am trying to comply....

I'm not willing to die so that the wealthy can profit off of the exploitation of the natural resources of Ukraine, Donbas, and Kursk.

...a tad bit dramatic eh? {hint, no one is asking you to die for Ukraine}

 

[BCP1928]

No. Do you?

No, absolutely not. In any case my wife is Jewish and wouldn't be happy with me if I did.

 

[HARK!]

...a tad bit dramatic eh? {hint, no one is asking you to die for Ukraine}

I don't believe that having concerns about an imminent threat of nuclear war is being overly dramatic.

You are right about no one asking me. The fat cats behind the Military Industrial Complex could care less about me. They have bunkers. They'll be just fine, at least in the short term.

There is no "imminent threat of nuclear war."

 

[HARK!]

There is no "imminent threat of nuclear war."

Nonsense. We're closer than at any time since WWII, when nuclear weapons were actually being dropped on cities. Obviously you didn't watch the video.

 

[Fantine]

Nonsense. We're closer than at any time since WWII, when nuclear weapons were actually being dropped on cities. Obviously you didn't watch the video.

I agree that we will be in much more imminent danger of nuclear war after the Inauguration, and pray God will protect America despite the poor decisions of its voters.

We are in more danger now according to many of the experts that I've been listening to, who actually know what they're talking about.

For one, strategically it is advantageous to do a strike before the changing of the guard, in the disorder that arises in the changing of the guard.

Two, Biden is a loose cannon; and he's ramping up his provocations, in his last days. I won't comment on what I suspect is motivating him.

 

[wing2000]

Ever hear of the Cuban Missile Crisis?
And no, I didn't watch the video. I don't find a Reagan era economists to be an expert on foreign affairs.

Putin is bluffing. He isn't going to pull the nuclear trigger for one simple reason: It would mean the end of his rule.

 

[HARK!]

Ever hear of the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Small potatoes.

Putin is bluffing.

He's not bluffing, anymore than we would be if Russia was blowing up strategic resources in the US.

no, I didn't watch the video.

That would begin to explain your lack of understanding of the situation.

I seek out information from experts in this field every day.

 

[chevyontheriver]

There is no "imminent threat of nuclear war."

That is so good to know. I can ignore Putin and be happy.

 

[chevyontheriver]

The greatest danger is in the next 50 days, if whoever is running the Biden presidency decides it's 'worth it'. The bonus could be that Kamala, who said "Don't let anyone take your power", could be the beneficiary of declaring marshal law before or after the nukes go flying. She really did say that, which is a clear signal that the Democrats think they have at least one more trick up their sleeves to not give up power. These are dangerous times.

What makes this WWIII?

North Korea and Russia and China and Iran and Syria and Cuba and Venezuela and their friends on multiple continents vs NATO and Israel and Taiwan and SEATO. All it needs is the seed for the whole thing to precipitate. And we keep adding more and more reagents as fast as possible. Biden was always a warhawk. His record as president shows his attitude AND his weakness, which have resulted in a much more dangerous world. Kamala studiously never addressed her warhawkery in her word salad. Trump didn't get us into any wars last time. The immanent danger is now, not in a Trump administration.
