Never underestimate the ignorance, hubris of the USSA's ruling cadre to do the worst possible option.

If the "leadership" in the US was capable of making good decisions we wouldn't even be in a position to have to contemplate this.

I will like to say Thank you Gonzalo for all your shows.I have learnt so much.Stay safe buddy.

Never

I'm like you sir, I'd love to believe it won't come to war but the neo-cons are getting desperate and desperate people do even more desperate things. Stay safe sir.🇬🇧✌️🇷🇺☦️

I'm concerned that the US is so proud of it's Naval investment, that it hasn't realized that ww2 era Carrier based battlegroups are no longer the force that they once were in an age where hypersonic missiles and submarine superiority are a thing, and because of that they are unwilling to fade without trying to utilize the power that it has.

When the whole world is pressing for peace it see’s JB, Zelensky, Morawiecki, Duda, Niinisto, Marin, Yun Sok-Yeol all knocking the drum of war against Russia. This provides the whole world with a window in which it see’s clearly into their mindset. It’s a mindset so dark, so chilling, so brutal and so very very evil indeed.

He's wrong. His premise is that the american leadership would be smart enough to recognize they are getting in a fight they can't win and would back off. After the last couple of years, ¿do you really think the american leadership is that smart?

Definitely, one of the few journalista who presents not only interesting, but also educational data/information which contributes to the general intelligence of the public.

I think this argument assumes rational actors in the US… this is not the case I’m afraid.

Thank you, Gonzalo! Because of this important upload, I have discovered Ron Unz. His writings are extremely well thought-out and wise. Thank you, again!

Interesting theory Gonzalo. Sadly, I’m in the camp in believing that the neo cons would rather take everyone with them ( ie: MAD) mutually assured destruction than admit that they have lost their hegemony. I truly hope I’m wrong for the sake of all of us. 2024-5 in my humble opinion will tell us all we need to know. 👍👍

Seeing Vicky Nuland's disgusting face in the Unz Review article made me run screaming for the exit.

Is Thucydides' Trap another way of referring to someone who refuses to age with honor, grace, and dignity?

Chinese diplomacy proving, once again, they are not the hostile ones.

I agree. I actually think we are entering an exciting period and a multi polar world is actually more healthy for Earth overall. Alexander from Duran emphasised this too, he mentioned how the less American activity there is in a given country, the more peaceful that region seems to become. Other world leaders are seeing this now.

Thucydides Trap - Two toughest kids on the block. Sooner or later, they're likely fight.

Confiscating Russian reserves was very tempting to do but the West was only able to confiscate about 30 billion out of 300 billion (the rest vanished) and the cost of that confiscation would be the end of the US dollar which will end up costing untold trillions. It's probably the dumbest financial move in the history of the world, not unlike punching yourself in the face to intimidate your opponent.

It would be great an episode of the roundtable talking about the Neocons, who they are, when they born, what they want.
