American hegemony for the "american way of life", if that means literally death, disaster and tragedy this will be a hard sell to promote. Embarrasing sinking empire loosing all masks and shrouds in decline.
Biden is the worst American president of modern times and it's not even close.
Say what you will about China, but their system is made to benefit from peace. It's the US system that is made to profit from war and hostilities.
Nixonian and Kissingerian strategy.😂😂Saagar, employing his stinktank tankie bonafides to wow himself into a sexual frenzy. The split between these business partners will be interesting, as Saagar is increasingly unable to control his id blurtings becoming increasingly Freudian, and Krystal eventually realising him as far too boyishly Assholian; disrupting the Chi vibe. Their point/counterpoint coupling investment may have peaked on this very interesting experiment; it's surely spawned some interesting branches with their own "B team" and their last employers, the right leaning The Hill, hitting hard with their own duo of right left monologuerians. The combination of Washingtonarian insiderarianism fetishizationarianism, desperation to indulge in the monologuing, and eventual morphing into what they both claimed to leave the MSM for, has become an indulgent spoken word shitshow. Saagar needs a cigar lounge, Krystal, hopefully she figures out what she needs; presently she needs a blonde. They're making bank though and the upcoming 2024 struggles will likely reveal them more as they try to remain a cordial coupling. The very early SNL's Dan Ackroyd and Jane Curtain did this shit best because it was fake open parody, done for laughs; imagine if they were real and were business partners, forced into being pals via a business model, rightfully pissed off by their own incestuously wretched industry.
Krystal is the typical annoying Karen liberal mom.
Putin is not taking former territory. He wants territory that was never part of the Russia SSR inside the USSR. So that is a false statement.
China was also friends with the USSR and now it is only friends with a part of the former USSR. Being very friendly only to the Russian SSR part or Russia Fed and ignoring the Ukraine SSR which was also part of the USSR. No explanation or discussion about this fact ?
China would be happy to see Ukraine territory taken by Russia so that the territorial rules are no longer applicable and so called historical rules apply. They could eventually invade and retake northern Manchuria. Putin does not care about this part because he will be dead in years ahead , when China finally does this.
I don't understand why people don't want their own home term to be #1
They know (china and russia) that if the great war starts they are done and America knows it won't be the same and neither will the world after. They all will lose in the end to the world revolution.
Saagar rocked this segment.
Nice to see the truth starting to come out. But maybe in the next “thing” that pops up, we don’t wait years to see it for what it is and call it out? Either way today is better then tomorrow..
It's their war to decide. If Russia and Ukraine want China and/or France to mediate then good for them.
Stark differences in their ideologies are so distilled in the end. Love this show.
Who cares what it does diplomatically?! As long as the shooting stops, we can live with any political bs.
The US DOES want hostilities to continue. Why? Because it benefits the Military Industrial Complex and the people who own the politicians that supposedly run this country.
Very accurate analysis by Saagar. You guys have definitely gotten better at geopolitics compared to the start of the war.
The US propaganda sounds like the Pravda Soviet era propaganda from the eighties.
How far we have fallen …. Unfortunately our adults in charge are drooling idiots.
CBS just ran a great propaganda piece on 60 min highlighting our great Navy. Not highlighted were the massive suicides on these Naval vessels caused by indifferent leadership, see USS George Washington alone had 12 suicides last year with no outrage by our media. How great do you think the morale of our fleet is ? China reads our news. I ache for the families of these sailors.
ukraine has always been one of the most corrupt countries, that's why the new liquidity swap is so elaborate because they don't trust Ukrainian govt and controls. That's why the Clintons and Bidens and Epstein have so many interests in Ukraine. Before modern tech, Kiev was called "the gateway to Europe" and has always been an important area for many reasons, many hidden groups have bases here as a result.
3:30 WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!! You are so stupid!!! The territory of the Soviet Union never belonged to Russia!!! They have absolutely NO CLAIM on any former Soviet Republics!!!!! ARE YOU HIGH!!!!! Russia was itself a Republic within the UNION of Republics, equals among equals. The territory of the Ukrainian Republic belongs to Ukraine or else the territory of what was the Russian Republic DOES NOT belong to present day Russia!!!!!! PERIOD!
You really need to fire your sound guy. Sometimes it's great, but more often than not it sounds super compressed and has low volume levels.
A world with 1 super power is a scary one. A multipolar world is better and safer for the rest of us… Not so much for America
peeping the calvin and hobbes book in the background
Part two or three of this segment because we obviously can’t handle it all in one sitting.
Saager has blown every single call he has made concerning the Ukraine War.
Biden regime: Peace is for suckers.
Can't have that because then we'll have to start a war with our troops so we can keep selling weapons.
Russia does not need Chinese weapons. Russia has the capacity to manufacture all the weapons it needs. China needs Russian stand-off missile tech. With more effective long-range weapons, US plan to turn Tiawan into Ukraine East lands in a very deep ditch.
Seriously, if anyone believes anything that's said by the US then I have a bridge to sell you…
Why the hell does anyone think that Russia needs munitions from China / Iran / North Korea / anyone else?
ROFL American power is GONE! Bye Bye Saagar!
Same mistake was made in 1973. Look at Communist China now. Neither lopsided left or right or war or peace is right. Ignoring a person with a gun against your head and saying let's talk it out where the benefit goes to the opposition. Trilateral Agreement. It did not include China. China did not get a damn thing from that until Clinton. Stop. Saagar you missed that bit. China and Soviets fighting over borders. Disagreeing on the basis of what version of Communism to follow. Diplomacy is not that simple it involves multiple parties with motivations that are not aligned. What price does Russia pay to China?
POV: When you realize your county is the bad guy.
Zelensky promised to fight to the last Ukrainian and we intend to hold them to that promise
If a ceasefire includes russian withdrawal from occupied territory, talks make sense. Otherwise, it is just creating time for russian troops to solidify their position. It makes complete sense to have talks without the precondition of a ceasefire.
LOL @ Saagar giving Ukraine on the ground military advice.
His point about Xi giving Putin weapons if Zelensky doesn't accept at least negotiating is sound at least.
As crass as he was about international politics and regardless of being a crook, on this Trump was right: China and Russia are America's worst enemies. He, perhaps instinctively, recognized the predators in Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin and was willing to find a way to neutralize them – sadly wasn't savvy enough to do it. Still his administration was a leg ahead of Biden's, who can't even recognize the threat for what it is.
