Haha! Good points there, I’ll admit!
I don’t enjoy listening to Alex Jones, either, but he has been right about alot of things, so I have to give him credit for that.
Bannon isn’t perfect either, but I give him alot of credit for being a patriot and a fighter.
He’s fighting back against the leftist propaganda machine, unlike, say Fox News, which claims to be conservative but isn’t (with the exception of Tucker Carlson). His entire show is interviews with people who are from different walks of life, but are doing things to try to change the corrupt system, uncover the fraud, and win the next election.
He also encourages his listeners to get involved in these efforts, and in many cases this has made a big difference.

That is Russian propaganda.

Just out of curiosity, can you detail me how it’s Russian propaganda?

He was a Soviet propagandist. That was his job, his life, his career while the Soviet Union lasted. You can read biographies of him that make it perfectly clear. Just Google his name and look for them. Even Wikipedia, though ever more unreliable, carries that information.
I haven’t listened to the whole of the lecture in the video. But if he is blaming NATO for the rise of Putin, isn’t that pretty obviously anti-NATO, anti-West?
In the beginning part, which I did listen to, he depicts Russia’s last few leaders as victims of US policy through several presidencies. “The dear Russians only wanted to be friends, and look how they were scorned and bullied” is the theme. That’s an old “poor little Russia” line taken by many of its apologists even in the days of the Communist tyranny!
Russia is a nuclear armed power. Putin is a KGB man. Russia is a despotism now and always has been. At least the lecturer says that Russia was never a democracy.

I don’t doubt that he used to be a Soviet propagandist, but I’ve listened to the whole of the video and he says he’s not a fan of Putin (mentioning the political prisoners that he has), but just because there are some communists that are anti-NATO that doesn’t mean that it’s false and NATO’s policy in the 90’s.
And there are people who are critical of NATO who aren’t Communist.

Example from one of the biographies - I forget which:
“In commentaries broadcast around the world by Moscow radio and appearances on such American television shows as ABC’s “Nightline,” he excused the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, endorsed the internal exile of Andrei Sakharov in 1980, idealized the accomplishments of the Soviet economy and sang phony paeans to justice in a communist society.”

Of course NATO has given cause for criticism and disagreement. I think it has become weak.
About the piece you have quoted white on black:
It was one of the great tragedies of recent history that FDR allowed Stalin to extend his totalitarian tyranny over the countries of East Europe, including East Germany. James Baker should not have made any such informal agreement with Gorbachev. At least his “promise” and Helmut Kohl’s “promise” were ignored by President H.W. Bush. When Germany was unified, the whole of it became a NATO member. Should the unification have been only partial, allowing former East Germany to remain in the Warsaw Pact?
What is the title of the book and who is its author?
Do you have sympathy with Russia? Are you against NATO?

Yes, Noland just admitted it - and I’m sure these bio-labs have been funded by the U.S.
I’m surprised they aren’t using them already to release another plague on the world that will require more vaccines and lockdowns!

Considering some of the misinterpretations and contradictory actions of people in NATO leadership, although there’s also misinterpretations on Russia’s side as well, the criticism of NATO is warranted:

Hillary Clinton is ALWAYS WRONG. She is only worth listening to if you want to know what lies the Dems are telling at any one moment. The truth is always the exact opposite of what they say.
Criticism of NATO is one thing. Blaming NATO to exonerate Russia is another.

I too hate what the Bidens and the CIA were doing.
But Putin wants Ukraine back in the Russian Empire and will take it by force if he can, regardless of anything any other country or power does. Only fear of unpredictable Trump made him wait.

I think there was fault on the side of the US and Nato, too. That doesn’t mean I like Putin, but I think if they had let him join Nato when he asked, they could have had a better relationship.

Remember Professor John Mearsheimer? College students want to cancel him because they think he’s pro-Putin, even though he advocated for Ukraine to remain a buffer state.
“Whether or not Mearsheimer ends up getting cancelled is anyone’s guess. The fact is that he’s a foreign policy realist; something that will make people uncomfortable for pointing out the many inadequacies of the Globalist American Empire’s foreign policy. Unlike most foreign policy specialists, Mearsheimer believes in the prudential use of state power abroad. In his ideal world, American power would be only used to contain a real peer competitor in China.”
“Alas, we don’t live in such a political environment. Instead, the current foreign policy class prefers to bleed America dry by pursuing multiple pointless conflicts abroad, all while China sits back and continues biding its time. With a geopolitically and economically exhausted U.S., China can sit on the sidelines and accumulate power. Once the smoke clears, the U.S. will emerge weaker, whereas China will be positioned to be the premier power and redefine the international order.”
This revolver.news article really hits hard to how America is economically destroying itself:
“For decades, America has benefited from the dollar’s status as global reserve currency. But now, by booting Russia off SWIFT and freezing its foreign reserves, America has pushed a button that can only be pushed once. China, Russia, and any nation that desires independence from US control now have a massive incentive to develop alternative systems that will preserve their economic and strategic autonomy. In a fit of pique, America has destroyed one of its key economic advantages forever.”

Yes, as I just noted on the other post, they are “digging the hole deeper”. No matter the situation, you can count on Biden to do the exact wrong thing, and make it worse.
And college students demanding Meerscheimers cancelation- of course! The obedient little brainwashed sheep are now protesting in favor of government authoritarianism, after having been brainwashed by teachers who, back in the 60’s, protested with the slogan, “Question Authority!”

I’m working on the assumption that there won’t be a nuclear war (as suggested there by AJ), because the powers that be know exactly what they are doing and they won’t do anything that could impact on themselves personally, and even they won’t be safe in a nuclear war. The alternative possibility is that they are simply mad, and unfortunately as per the JP video there is some evidence that they might be, but I’m still inclined to think that they’re not THAT mad.

I often wonder about the “madness”.
It seems to me that, throughout history, there has always been a certain percentage of the human race that are just sociopaths, and are going to gravitate toward elitist totalitarian power.
A few centuries ago it was the Church, then it was the Communists, now its the Globalists.
They may not even care about a nuclear war, as they all have their bunkers ready, and of course don’t mind reducing the world population some more.

Well yes there is the old Dr Strangelove bunker scenario where they plan to create a new master race. OK, now you’ve got me worried
