Good talk, Brian

tube is restricting in a wide spectrum including individual viewer comments PEACE

would love to hear brian's take on cia/ukraine story in nyt yesterday.

A humbling moral question.

@@dunravin Tells you which side the editors are on ... at least they didn't evaporate it.

He gave his life, so other can live.

I was going to write something similar to this myself.

You are brave brother to addmite that,we are the same as you,god help us to understand that brave man who gave his life to cause we all belive,thank you for your comment.

​@@HouseholdDog brave????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Maybe he had nothing else going on in his life to live for, and he had nothing but delusions of grandeur to make him throw away his life like this. Most people have friends and family and treasures near and dear to their heart and home that prevent us from doing this sort of thing. There are MANY other ways to live a good life in peaceful service to one's community that are more rewarding than this self-sacrifice on behalf of distant strangers who may or may not have been willing to do the same for him. But I think we all know the answer to that last issue.

Free from hamas terrorists

Not even the surrounding Arab countries care about Palestine. And who "will see it"?? When's this gonna happen??? Gimme a date/year.

It is disturbing, and a lot of us won't ever thank you. Those of us who chose dignified freedom and struggle in the private sector over military slavery.

We've all harboured silly thoughts be they idealistic, or otherwise, and all found regret somewhere along the line, mistakes in our past are our "salad day's- when we were still green in judgment"

@@Polit_Burro Yes. I have a clean conscience, as I have never served in the US military nor have I ever encouraged anyone else to do so. And if they make that mistake, not my problem.

​@@Torgo1969It is quite farcical for a person to virtue signal against people who serve any country's military. As one of the oldest professions in history, the military profession will never die and wars will always be fought; whether on earth or somewhere else in the future. "War is a racket ", like Smedley Butler said. I'm a retired military practitioner and I have been in all our recent conflicts. Don't hate the player hate the game folks! Our leaders are who send good men off to war, so go after them. Warriors should always be respected but not idolized.

@e5456 According to a coworker, the US military is full of reproductively irresponsible people who need to support a family but who would be useless in the private sector and who need steady work, even at the cost of selling oneself into military servitude. I will never apologize for sacrificing a social life in my youth so that I could give myself alternatives and the freedom to avoid this undignified fate. Don't make a virtue out of necessity. Everyone can see it and it's despicable. As for the degenerate leaders, I agree, but whose fault is it when someone casts their pearls before swine?

Rage against the machine....

True.

It's what I thought of when I saw his video, he is now in the company of goddamn hero's.

He truly is a gentleman! ❤

"Your life is precious and valuable." Yes. And with all due respect for Brian and Aaron, one has to wonder if the distant strangers that they care about so much would do the same kind of extreme protest and self-sacrifice for them. Healthy psychological boundaries are a treasure for oneself.

@@Torgo1969 I understand what you're saying, and I'd like to add my 2 cents. The way I see it, Aaron's act was solely driven by his own strong convictions, without the thought: "Would they do the same for me?" We can't all be like Aaron - that would certainly not be a healthy situation! But we may choose to learn from him.

Westerners being disingenuous about how they care so much for this kid, I bet you westerners will throw youths to be sacrificed instead of living just to pretend that your people care, yet forget this happened after a few years and go back to enjoying your cheap slave labour products from poorer countries again

❤💯

"good work"? he was a crappy airmen.

“I’m sure your parents are very proud?” WTF, I can’t imagine any parent would be proud of their child setting themselves on fire. Horrifying yes, proud No! Again WHAT THE F!

Wow.

An empire, and the members of society who enable it, or justify it who are are truly the mentally ill ones, not Aaron.. People talk about "red pill" or "breaking out of the matrix", well this young man was the ultimate example of that. I just hope more do as well, and find alternative solutions(like Brian touched on) to fix the situation we currently find ourselves as humanity careens off the proverbial cliff.

Westerners like to declare anything against their culture and lifestyles as mental illness nowadays, like they even declare gaming as a mental disorder 😂

​@@Raydaruckuzred pill or Matrix are just bs western rhetotics meant to have people believe they are ignorant or stupid enough which they are but just diverting their attention on being more toxic, it's more common among youths to be fooled into bs red pill culture making them support toxic ideals like toxic masculinity and toxic femininity, the word red pill should never be used especially when it's context is just filled with nonsensical facts which we foreigners aren't fooled by

​@@RaydaruckuzI mean why would an Empire seek to give away its powers really, the British Empire which were as same if not worse than Nazis are just colonizers fighting colonizers for us foreigners, they are all the same people who sadly ruin our lands and people especially our youths into nonsensical western rhetorics to sell out their own people for westerners

Big heart? you mean an ashy heart. nothing but a crappy barbeque.

@@marymarr3 You really are scum. How dare you pollute a space where people infinitely more moral than you are honouring someone who sacrificed himself to help others?

Funny westerners won't do the same thing and will praise about others doing it while they need to enjoy their slave labour products from poorer countries

A sick society stamps the sane as insane, and end up having lunatics running the government.

Our society has become that morally degraded. Like Dick Cheney, it has no human heart.

Self-sacrifice should always be questioned.

​@@MatewanMassacreI mean you think the western Empire will just abandon its ways from their predecessors? The British Empire paved the road for the American Empire and those descendants now carry on their colonial ancestors legacy and bomb our lands and have corrupt leaders installed in our countries to work as slave labourers for their amusements and to keep the needs of westerners like you fulfilled

Christianity or God will never address the crisis, in fact the blame of the world's situation could be blamed on Christianity. In old Hebrew before it got translated sin meant "to fail" so as far as creating a better world, Christianity has sinned. Evil prospers when good men do nothing, being a "kind and loving Christian" has meant the weakness of today's society is the final result. The crisis is going to mean certain people are going to have to be forced, and force is violence depending on which side of it you are, by not allowing violence in the belief system means bad people will continue to act. Believing in God could be at our peril.

@ill6282 You may as well pray to Zues for all the good it will do. But please tell me why the world's situation should be placed on me?

@@hernehill6282 Eager and removing it entirely are two different things, it would be the people who are eager to call people ignorant, who are eager to use emotional violence in the way of words could also be where the responsibility of the world lies.

@@hernehill6282 Maybe you are missing the irony that you used emotional violence first. I merely said force is violence depending which side of it you are, and from that you thought you could call somebody ignorant. Do you not think people have to be forced sometimes to do what is right, or rather not to do wrong?

@@hernehill6282 A subjective opinion is not a fact and that you think it is shows you must use your opinion for all your beliefs, without ever being wrong must be hard to have fun around you. I never said use violence, I said you must be able to use it, didn't I? I have never heard so many lies unless I am in a religious discussion, they are all shocking to me, they have removed what is fun or beautiful in this life, your input included, you say "none intended, but you are perverted and ignorant" instead of actually listening to what I said, you say these things and then think you are a champion for any religion, when in fact you should fell shame, as a person, for all of humanity. Religion has no place in my life because I believe in evolution, I believe there has been 5 mass extinctions where the only mammals that survived once were stoat like creatures, I also believe that we are around the ninth hominid to exist, all the things believed since we got brought up are things that have been made up, and for something that is make believe, you somehow think you have the right to try and be insulting over other beliefs, and then, you don't think you using emotional violence by calling your subjective opinion, a fact is an aggressive/violent form of communicating then please tell me what facts are you basing any of what you are saying on? Please tell me how you can prove this fact, I would love to know because, no offense, but yeah I think you use emotional violence in your messaging.

Did Aaron do anything else right before his protest? Did he leave a sign nearby? How was he apprehended? He must have had his military necklace with his last name on it...

Hahaha westerners still believe law enforcement are heroes yet can't see them for how authoritarian they are 😂

Most American people are completely brainwashed by American government , dont agreed ? Eg.Russia ,China xinjiang tibet taiwan ,Iran , Nkorea, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan ,Yeman etc, surely there be something for them

Nah the murican people are no different for us foreigners than their governments, they are all the same people who will only respect people as long as their are westernized enough for them, any culture or ideals different from western ideals are declared as authoritarian by westerners, I mean westerners obviously need their slave labour products from third world countries right? So obviously they have to westernize everyone including our people and lands for their conveniences

Israel is just a western puppet, the west and other Empires are the criminal colonialists which we foreigners can't defeat cause our people especially youths are too convinced by the western Empire

Sacrificed his life for strangers.

*Divide and rule.* Maybe "rule" is the incorrect word in regards to the USA, and *divide and "gain an advantage"* if others struggle, fight, and lose is closer to what happened. DIVIDE AND CONTROL At the turn of the previous century ("around 1900") Washington DC set out to "divide (Europe)" and "gain" (from collective European madness). Note how such a policy doesn't necessarily have to be co-ordinated politically. So no "your a conspiwacy theowist"-allegations please :-) In regards to Europeans, the policy basically carried itself, and today *still* carries itself, because Europeans are already sufficiently divided on multiple levels, and any actions by a strong enough 3rd party wishing to gain, simply needed to avoid any form of unity in Europe, or to "nip in the bud" signs of formal/informal agreement between Europeans. One of the key strategies in "divide and rule" is to fund and support both sides in a world full of rivals for dominance, influence and markets. Once "divided", there is no "single voice" to stand up to a stronger entity. From wiki, and regarding the theory: "Divide and rule policy (Latin: divide et impera), or divide and conquer, in politics and sociology is gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into pieces that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy." Elements of this technique involve: - creating or encouraging divisions ... - to prevent alliances that could challenge ... - distributing forces that they overpower the other - aiding and promoting those who are willing to cooperate - fostering distrust and enmity Historically, this strategy was used in many different ways by empires seeking to expand their territories." [editted for clarity re. the states/empires level of things] *"Divide and gain" would work exactly the same way.* Some examples regarding the theory in practice: After her defeat in 1871, and being isolated by all of her neighbors, France started "making eyes at" Washington DC (as exemplified by the Statue of Liberty "gift to the American people"). Since the Franco-Prussian War had already removed the biggest obstacle to a French/US rapprochement, which was Napoleon "meddle in Mexico" the III, this war thereby inadvertently opened the door to better relations between Washington and Paris. Of course, the divider must be receptive to such advances. What was "in it" for Washington DC? Simple: After almost a century of British and French attempts of playing "divide and rule/conquer" in North America, trying to avoid a single hegemony here (Washington DC) to advance own interests at the expense of North American unity, it was now Washington DC's turn to start playing some "division" back at Europe... First "tool" to come swimming across the Atlantic, straight into the wide open loving tender arms of the eagerly awaiting American Internationalism? (soon to become the all-powerful American Century) Answer: Isolated France/Paris, in conflict or dissed by her neighbors would offer a foothold in Europe. Who would have ever thought that dissing a neighbor could ever have such consequences... Regarding this policy, it needs a keen sense of observation by a nation's gatekeepers, so as not to inadvertently become a part of it. *"Defeat Them in Detail: The Divide and Conquer Strategy. Look at the parts and determine how to control the individual parts, create dissension and leverage it."* Robert Greene And "observe the details" and "leverage" is what the American Internationalism fans did... The next "tool" to come swimming across the Atlantic with a Great Rapprochement after 1895, amongst other less "valuable" suitors, was London. It was London which had the "policy" standpoints which would make any binding geopolitical/grand strategy treaties with continental powers in peacetimes virtually impossible. It was also London which intended to keep the continent of Europe in a situation of constant tension, exploiting the already existing tensions by pacifying these when it suited London, or amplifying these when some form of benefit could be descerned (multiple examples in the thread below). These were her own historical attempts at "dividing the continent" and "ruling the world" which wiser heads in London were already beginning to question as they obviously noticed a shift in the global balance of power. Note that in order to play this game, the "divider" must have some form of advantage. In regards to Washington DC, this advantage which it could use to attract suitors was their own rapidly increasing power. Ever important markets acting like a lighthouse for capitalist ventures. But with a geographical advantage which made it virtually impossible to invade by the late-1900s, the USA already had little to fear militarily (unless of course Europe should inexplicably become united and speak with a single powerfull voice, by settling the multitude of differences). What was "in it" for Washington DC in her favoratism of mostly Paris and London? London was Europe's only power that could effectively unite Europe, by acting as a unifying power as a matter of policy, rather than as an aloof divider herself. Regarding any form of united Europe, by whomever or for whatever reasons, the "gatekeepers of Empire" sat in London. A "united Europe" either with or without GB/Empire could only go through London and with London's approval. Ask Napoleon I. He knows what it resulted in when "gatekeepers" stepped forward to avoid any form of single continental unity or hegemony. These "gatekeepers" followed policies which made any form of unity impossible. At the first signs of unity/friendship on the continent, London would step in and divide, using a variety of age-old, trusted and well-honed skills up to the point of declaring preventive wars (multiple examples in the thread below). The above is also known as the "avoid a single hegemony on the continent"-narrative, and is not disputed by most historians. A disunited Europe at this point, suited Washington DC just fine. Their first really big attempt at expanding beyond the limits of the own Monroe Doctrine, and the "promises made" not to meddle in European affairs was Spain. Me: "pwomises made"...lol With the Monroe Doctrine Washington DC stated: "Don't worry Europe, we are satiated..." The rapidly sinking Spanish Empire offered the territories as a "gateway to China" in the form of already annexed Hawaii, the Philippenes and Guam and protection for the seaways in between. The 1898 Spanish American War was then simply the torero sticking a sword into the neck of the dying bull...a fitting allegory. Obviously "triggered" by the Japanese annexation of Formosa in 1895. To achieve all of this Washington DC needed European indifference for the cause of "weak failing empires" (Darwinism), and divided Europe happily complied...lol. Notice that one of the key strategies in "dividing" others is to take opposing positions in political issues, without these positions being based on moral standards or principles (see below footnote explaining the principles and effects of power on the interests of states/empires). Simply strengthen the position of one side in an issue at one time, then make a 180 degree about turn and support the other side another time. An example here is for the two Moroccan crises (1905 vs. 1911). In 1905, Washington DC actually tacidly supported the German position and insisted on Morrocan independence, protecting it from being carved up by France/Spain. In 1911, the USA chose the side of the colonial powers against Berlin's position, and signed Moroccan independence away to "the wolves" of colonialism. It would be a mistake to think that these "divide and rule/conquer"-strategies and tactics sterted with the Roman Empire, and ended when the British left India in 1947. It is alive and well. It has surrounded every aspect of power politics on all levels of society and politics ever since the dawn of mankind. Same with the funding of opposing European leaders and states (for example, US private funding of European dictators in the 1920s and 1930s). *A geographical advantage meant that whatever happened in Europe would be a "win" for Washington DC power mongers.* Or, one could state that if one is far enough away, one can "sit on the fence and await the outcome" when the shtf somewhere else, while "eating popcorn and chips"...

@@tamimq5895 If you only remember *one* thing from the long essay, then remember this: Divide and rule. The root cause of most evils on in the world 👍😉

@@ralphbernhard1757 I accept your point but. . .for me it is blindingly obvious that even when millions of people march against this horror it has no effect - why not? because most amerikan national politicians regard being elected to congress or senate the most important thing which has happened in their miserable lives. They are scared sh1tless of the monopoly control of the zionist lobby and believe opposing it is a suicidal act. That thinking must be changed. Three congresspeople out of more than 300 districts have stood against zionist genocide and the zionist lobby has promised to 'bring them down' mostly by pouring funds into primary opponents. A couple of these will survive anyhow but one will not unless sufficient people around amerika send her sufficient funds to at least compete with zionist funded opponents. 50,000 decent humans sending $20 to $50 would be all it would take. Once other careerist politicians see that it is possible to stand up to aipac et al and still win, then they will consider resisting that which they know to be evil. Of course they should think that regardless but they don't and we must play the hand we are dealt. Regardless of personal feelings about the pols taking on the zionist lobby, it behooves all of us to assist these anti-zionism campaigns. With two million lives on the line, nothing useless careerist politicians say or do matters a damn. Help the anti-zionist pols keep their seats and then we should see their resistance on capitol hill grow. Do it for Aaron Bushnell a good man taken far too soon.
