Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: The US Can’t Beat Russia Or China In A War
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- Retired U.S. Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson joins the MintCast director Mnar Adley to discuss the decline and possible fall of the U.S. empire. “It is clear to at least half the world, some four billion people, that the United States is not the power that it once was… Our reputation is in tatters in the world,” he said, laying out parallels between the fall of the Western Roman and Persian empires and today’s United States.
The U.S. military is a shadow of its former self and could not beat either Russia or China in a sustained war, Wilkerson says. If a war did break out, then it would likely escalate to nuclear Armageddon quickly.
Wilkerson and MintPress News’ Mnar Adley also discuss the big geopolitical hot topics of the day, including Iran, Israel and Gaza. The Israel lobby, Wilkerson claims, constitutes a national security threat. “Israel is the greatest and most dangerous foreign agent operating on US soil. There’s no question about that,” he said.

See the JFK file the "Israeli Account" No wonder Trump got into so much trouble over the JFK file
AIPAC should register as a foreign agent.
No, it should be banned
Any foreign political contributions should be banned, as well as lobbyist, congress insider trading, and 3 letter agencies, endless wars. Man I could go on and on. I'm ashamed of my government.
*terrorist group
It is a foreign agent and should be banned because it works against the US’s interests!
@LenBerman,not going to happen,they have way too much influence,remember JFK said the same thing,how did that work out for him?
' The End of American Empire Is Here . '
Yes, indeed. It is going to happen during ww3 which is already at our doors. USA will fall (as well as the statue of liberty in N.Y.) and will be invaded (please read messages from Heaven given through Luz de Maria). It will be just punishments for her rejection of God and His Commandments, and all the crimes and evil USA has done as a nation. But after repentance and conversion, she will rise again from ashes and will become a good Christian nation.
Yep - and its being DEMOLISHED by the warmongering neocon LOSER in DC as we are all seeing now. Its is destructing from within instead of being attacked by China, Iran, North Korea or Russia. Our internal problems has been growing into one gigantic CANCER for the past 25 to 30 years in the name of freedom & democracy too ya know.
Been telling people for a while about 🇮🇱 basically stealing Syrian oil with OUR troops help …
Not only oil ... but the wheat too.
The Americans are deranged
Trump literally admitted that in an interview. Doesn't seem to have made even the smallest ripple on the american conscience. I presume of course that they have one which is arguable.
There is no doubt that this reality, straight from Trump's mouth, was suppressed. This oil info is NEWS to me.💯💥@dinnerwithfranklin2451
Stealing all the oil from all the countries in the world 😂😂in 6 months from 9,3 billion Guyana got 1,billion what a joke 😂😂😂😅they can't do that to Venezuela so they sanctions the country and suffer the people hoping they would over throw the government and take over the country 😂😂😂great the brics organization is being formed God is in control 😂😂😂😂rip for the world bully 😅😅😅
Larry Wilkerson is the best analyst and source of information on matters of USA interests and policies. Respect and admiration for this great man. He still possesses humanity.❤
Miriam Adelson not only funded the American Embassy moving to Jerusalem but also Trump"s campaign.
And has offered him $100 mill for the West Bank
that family is evil af & they aren’t alone
Colonel Wilkerson is a fine, honest and honorable man. I have been watching him for awhile now. As a Muslim American I would vote for him in a heartbeat if he ever decides to run for high office. But the truth is America is beyond saving… their participation and support for this genocide was the final mail in the coffin. The curse of the almighty is on the whole nation now.
Thank you MPN for bringing this great guest on.
❤😊llo😊❤😊❤❤😊❤
Sehr gute journalistische Arbeit! Grüße aus Deutschland
Tell your government in Germany you want the US military occupation to end. Yankee go home.
This should have a million views
Absolutely. A brilliant comment. I would just add that all of those million should be American.
@@harveytadmanat least a million Americans!
I hope you are sharing this video with your sphere of influence.
💯
If you want to see Col. Wilkerson weekly.. He does Judge Naps show every Friday & Dialogue Works every Weds.
This is the most important interview anywhere, by far, on geopolitical state of affairs and end of US empire. Also on issue of possibility of nuclear war! MUST WATCH!!!
Exactly what they are pushing for a nuclear war
once again a great interview thank you
Thanks for listening
The status quo was in denial now comes doubling down
On top of weakening miltary aboard, US "dollar" has been weaponized for way too long and it's about to collapse as well.
Thankyou.
Mr. Wilkerson. I. Love. How. U. Speak. The. Real. Truth. Bless. You🎉❤
Thank you, Mnar! ❤
Very illuminating and informative, thank you.
Thank you Col & Mint press. A brilliant consolidated overview position the world is in. The tide is changing.
Hopefully, Search for or find the new news about FINLAND.😢😮
It’s not about winning or losing. Its about making money. Get it ✌️
Yep - by the Military Industrial Black Hole that has NOT won a war since May 7, 1945.
@@robertko5425The Russians won that war against the Nazi Germans on the Eastern front, losing 27 million young Russian souls in the process. All the US mainly did was to supply weapons to make unseemly amounts of profit for a few banks…… and drop two atomic bombs on Japanese civilians, the after effects evident to this day.
USA Go Away.
Don’t get carried away: the ICC warrants have not been issued, the UK is now challenging the process on questions of jurisdiction and while it is true that one German official said they would enforce the warrants, Scholz walked that back a little bit as far as I remember. You have to know that Germany is one of the worst countries in the world when it comes to supporting the genocide in Gaza.
By the way, Wilkerson calls Smotrich and Bengvir Nazis. I think it would be forbidden to say this publicly in Germany as comparing Israelis to Nazis is regarded as antisemitic using that garbage definition of antisemitism. Moreover it could be viewed as relativizing the Holocaust, another reason to prosecute you. If someone is knowledgeable about these matters, they are welcome to comment but unfortunately I think I am correct.
Bless you, Mnar! As soon as strange scam thru online ripoff, solved, I am going to be a supporter,!
Oh well, it was bound to happen, Russia heading for Cuba to teach that what goes around, comes around. How many people know Syrian oil is being stolen for Izrel via US? Learn something new everyday. Col. Wilkerson has a worldly analysis.
That was news to me as well. I should have guessed but didn't so it was worth getting out of bed this morning since I learned something new
And stealing their farmer’s wheat too.
When the USA sanctioned Russia, India continued buying Russian oil, and the USA and Western world couldn't do anything to stop us. Similarly, when the USA sanctioned Iran, India kept purchasing Iranian oil, and once again, the USA and Western world couldn't do anything to stop us..
Yes, and then they both resold for profit, didn't they?
Toothless tiger 🐅 😂.
US will deal with this, along with China shenanigans of supplying military to Russia for oil at discounted price.
@@bellakrinkle9381 India resold it to tooth less Western World Western world Countries which had sanctioned
yes at less than $50/ppb, when the global price was $80/ppb; so India was shafting Russia. Typical

And they certainly can’t beat China AND Russia 🤣
Politics determines how wealth is distributed within a country, while wars and diplomacy determine how wealth is distributed between countries.
Is this what success looks like in the world's richest country with the most expensive military? Economic inequality, inflation, stagnant real wages for the last fifty years, costly healthcare, an expensive education system, student loan debt totaling $1.7 trillion with an average balance of $38,000, poor public transportation systems, racial inequality, mass incarceration, the militarization of police, deteriorating infrastructure, housing unaffordability, homelessness, the opioid epidemic, and gun violence.
Instead of prioritizing the welfare of its people, the US meddles in other countries to spread its version of democracy. The question is whether the USA can continue to survive with its version of democracy, not whether it can have any leadership role in the global order.
Some in the West believe they will continue dominating the world because God is on their side. Their historical success is preordained and inevitable, and their superior culture gave them a moral imperative to intervene in global affairs.
Asian civilizations (sans Japan) prioritized stability and peace due to their long-standing dynastic traditions, cultural philosophies like Confucianism emphasizing social harmony, centralized bureaucracies, and geographical features that encouraged internal development over external conquest. Their relative economic self-sufficiency and focus on internal trade further supported this stability. In contrast, Western civilizations emphasized expansion and domination driven by geopolitical competition among fragmented states, economic motivations such as the search for new trade routes and resources, religious and ideological factors including the spread of Christianity, and technological advancements in navigation and military capabilities. The rise of nationalism and the Industrial Revolution further fueled Western expansionist ambitions.
Western civilization defeats itself by its need for endless wars and conflicts.

I'm a religious, spiritual person, the Quran clearly says that " It is Allah who raises nations to be world powers, so that He may test them. But if a nation fails that test, it will no longer be a world power."
What made America, makes America a world power is that America had the morality & the foresight to be on the right side of history, when America finally got involved in the 2nd world war...on the side of human rights & justice. America did not torture people, but the Nazis did. But, somehow, things have changed over the years.
Nowadays, as can be seen with the Gaza genocide, America is on the exact opposite side of history, on the exact opposite side of human rights & justice. America is a "State sponsor of genocide. "
And with the Guantanamo torture centers, that makes "America a State sponsor of torture." America supported ISIS to destabilize Syria & then with the Nordstream bombings, it makes America "a State sponsor of terrorism. "
America has lost its way. America was defeated in Vietnam, defeated in Afghanistan, defeated in Iraq, has lost Ukraine, and now is facing its most embarrassing defeat ever with the Israel/USA genocide of Gaza.
Same thing happened with the Ottoman empire, and many others, but generally happened after their enlightenment, which was replaced by greed, especially against the poor, oppressed, widow, and orphan.
The colonel is my favourite of the new era ex operatives but I do not understand why America would display holocaust "guilt"...
US academics spread eugenics and a book about it, which partly inspired Hitler’s view that Jews are the lowest of all races and Us deported Jews back to Germany, when they were running away from Nazi persecution
Hollywood demands it.
Lol...true@@HeatherToffan-qy5pr
That host is one smart, well presented lady. Well briefed.
I don't know why those countries that are illegally occupied by America's military bases (800+) don't force the American army to leave and get their country back and stop their natural resources from being stolen by the American army. The America regime needs to be finally put in it's place.
Thank you for your honesty Sir. I'm sure it gives you no pleasure to reveal these truths.
I wish that I could rip apart the logic of Col Wilerson, but I cannot.
Wonderful interview! Thank you.
The Silk Road is an absolutely terrific book!
Excellent Strategic Analysis ! Thank You
Incredible video and analysis. Thank you.
Great work, good questions, thanks. Col. Wilkerson and Ray McGovern are so sharp and of the highest integrity.
Great reporting.
Very insightful! great guest
Interesting chat. 👍
Very!
Nice to see Col. Wilkerson on MintPress 👍🏻✔️
Was great to have him on
Prof. Wolff....
the sophistication of American military equipment (fighter planes, warships, drones, tanks, etc.) is only for military parades, not for conventional war
Liberal democracy is not serving its people as well as it should. Time to self examine and take steps towards reformation. This means, plug the holes, recognize shortcomings and make corrections. Then accept that while a functioning form of Liberal democracy serves you, it may not be what works for others. Cultural history, national conditions and other factors create different forms of governance in different societies. ACCEPT THIS REALITY and look after your homeland. Live and let live, developing the world together in mutual respect and harmony is what we need.
As a student of war and military history, I can but concur w. Col. Wilkerson. The shortness of people willing to serve in the armed forces is identical to that of the Roman Empire towards the end. There was conscription because there was no other way of solving it, but people began cutting off one of their arms to dodge the draft because having only one arm made you exempt. Then the law was changed so that you had to serve even with only one arm, which made people have both their arms cut off to escape service.
Brilliant. Great interview...👍
I have listened to this interview three times. Everything is more than true.😸
Well spoken man and lady
10:34 the national debt does not belong to the US American people. Rich people wrote the legislation and profited by bill’s past in Congress. Rich people must pay that money back.
This time they are on the receiving end 😂😂
It’s the British, city of London. Pilgrim society need more scrutiny.
The Third British Empire is the United States, there are not many who have any awareness of that fact. The book written by Alfred Zimmern in 1934 described what was to be. He worked for the Royal institute for International Affairs, Chatham House, CFR. This was the purpose and product of the work of the Pilgrims Society. Good on you that your aware.
The uk is the US pet poodle.
@@rebeccacrossley8733 the US is a corporation owned by the city of London, you never got rid of the British
Thank you, Colonel. You delivered everything but the autopsy report, and when the time comes, I'm sure you'll have that on our desk in a timely fashion. Something terrible happens during the decline of empires. Most people don't see anything, hear anything, or expect anything except business as usual, and when the end comes for all empires, they're left wondering how on Earth did this happen, things were going so well.
Excellent interview Mnar👍
Thank you!
:-21 ... the presidential debate was an embarrassment. It only was if they ever felt embarrassed 😱
This is excellent discussion with Col Wilkerson. Hope the US is smart enough not to engage in a nuclear war with China. Russia will definitely help China to defeat the US with nuclear weapons.
Subtitles are, quite rightly, available/optional on utube. So why make them obligatory here?
'Agent of Chaos'
Bravo for making the best most important political video I've seen in a full year. Depressing but wildly informative. What an amazing guest, and solid interview process. Though we can see via that costume change that some heavy editing took place heheh.
Great guest. Thanks... But your audio is pretty bad... Too much room reverb. You should be able to get that mic to pick up your voice cleanly without the room echo. Good audio will polish up your channel.
We will improve this for the next episode! Thanks for your feedback!
The "Two Sessions" statement shows us that our future is not a matter of who can beat whom in a war, but who can build mutual peace agreements so that we live as brothers and sisters. Hooray for the leadership of Russia and China !
In the topic of declining usa empire. Could it be said that the beginning of that was the Vietnam war?
Your decline always starts at the moment you reach the top.
Till date I used to call UK , Germany, France , Canada , Australia , Israel , Ukraine Lap Dogs of USA .
But Col Gave A New name Poodles of USA.
👍👍👏👏❤❤😊😊😊😊
Both have the same meaning so we are in the same one page 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.
Luckily, we don't have to. They are beating themselves.
Full respect to the interviewer for calling out to the infiltration of foreign regime-change agents in the local population.🥇👍👏
This is the one of the most important interviews of our time. Thank you, Colonel Wilkerson, for enlightening us once again!
We build America with out you we can survive without you 😢😢😢
Somebody needs to tell NATO this.
❤
The name of the new combined Israel, West Bank and Gaza country could be the Federal State of Greater Israel and Palestine.
Excellent and very informative show - thank you ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
We are fortunate to witness such fall of a superpower. It won't be long.
Many thanks ! What is this woman's issue in Iran he speaks of ?
11:05 it is not hard to guess. Look on the back of your federal reserve note. The hex mark is there.
Nonsense about Iran
Pro Tip: move your mic closer to your mouth. You have a “hollow room” tone to your voice.
It's not hollow but definitely too close!
Trump’s biggest mistake was appointing Mike Pompeo to ANY position in his administration.
You lost me at 27:32
War is obsolete, dude!
""Jeremiah 49-51""
Was this guy in Four Horsemen?
If there is a Nuclear War in the Northern Hemisphere, and I doubt there will be, the only option is South America as in Uruguay, Australia and New Zealand. The survive ability factor is apparently possible.
Thank you for the Very Wise Words and insight from uou both 😊 I agree Israel will not exist by 2028 maybee earlier 😅
No subtitles please.
And you have Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban to be thankful for in the process
The people of the Greater Middle East, including the Levant (most of whom are Semites, and the followers of Abrahamic religions) have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. Strategically ambiguous rulers make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople, then during WW1 the seat of POWER playing these games changed to London/Paris (Sykes-Picot/Balfour Declaration/WW1), then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, starting around the time a bark by Washington DC in 1956 (Suez Crisis/War) showed who the new boss was, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC (the entire ME was the playground during the Cold War).
Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the ME, in order to "rule" over the dissent which is classical "divide and rule". Today, their leaders are ALL tools. Draw lines on the map without asking any of those affected. Endless wars, constant dissent. Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book...
Who wields the POWER? Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline?
Same types of people and systems. Different times. Same games.
-------------------------------------
The people of the Africa have been "divided and ruled" over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. Strategically ambiguous rulers make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the "playground" during the Cold War. Moscow was taking on the role of arming the resistance.
Once the dividers have reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) so the own systems of gain can siphon off wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The intention was simply to avoid unity in Africa, in order to "rule" over the dissent which is classical "divide and rule".
Today, all African dissenters, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent.
Give them money, and they will dance for the dividers...
Divide and Rule.
Oldest trick in the book...
Four corners of the globe. Different rules. Same games.
--------------------------------------
The people of the Americas (most of whom are Christians), including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. In the beginning stages of era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide and rule technique of top-down power on the local systems (Aztecs/Incas), then after 1900 as European colonial powers' influence decreased, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC. As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900.
_Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide and rule games on their neighbours._
*Forget "nukes". The "divide and rule/conquer"-strategy is the most powerful force on the planet.*
Ever since the two-faced "snake" slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), human beings have fruitlessly warned and have continuously been warned, against "divisions" within a peaceful status quo. Such divisions create GAIN for OUTSIDERS (Eden as a "system" divided by lies and deceit).
Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide and rule.
Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror", constant dissent with everything's a war war war...
Insert levers of lies, mistrust...
Create favourites: favouritism, by granting access to the own POWER, to those who volunteer to act as proxies...
Point the systemic finger, everywhere else, by use of the own paid stooges of power...
Divide and Rule.
Oldest trick in the book...
*In February 1948, George F. Kennan's Policy Planning Staff said: "[W]e have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. ... Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity."* [Critical question: Who is "we"?]
And that is what they did.
And that is what you are fighting for.
America's friends and self-proclaimed default rivals in Europe are still being burnt to ensure this disparity continues, with a "pattern" of alignments which are beneficial to the own rule. Set up European and Eurasian nations (including the MENA region) against each other. It is how divide and rule is implemented. The imperialist playbook of Great Britain and the USA for more than 100 years. Read Halford Mackinder (Pivot of History, 1904) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Grand Chessboard, 1997) regarding Eurasia for the template. Who wields the POWER? Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline?
That is what empires have always done.
Create the default rival/enemy on their own marching routes.
It is usually the power most likely to succeed which is determined as the default rival/enemy.
Notice how, as soon as a rival starts mass-producing products high up in the value chain of capitalism, and starts vying for markets, and becomes successful, it immediately becomes the systemic rival, and is then geopolitically encircled by the greater empire. It happened around 1900, as Germany started building high-value products, and it happened around 2000, as China started moving away from building cheap toys and labor intensive kitchen appliances...
The games start on the home turf. The first victims are their own people, locked in the eternal struggle for wealth and personal gain which they have been deceived into thinking is "good", but which WILL be exploited by the snakes who deceive them in the divide and rule technique of power. Because ..."most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." - Walter E. Williams
*War is a great "divider." It goes straight through the heads of millions and billions of people from the very top tiers, right down to the individual level. War divides alignments and alliances, goes straight through organizations, divides political parties, tears through families, and finally at the very bottom tier, goes straight through individual hearts and minds as individuals struggle with themselves.*
PLEASE DON'T EMBED SAME-LANGUAGE CAPTIONS ONTO THE VIDEO, IT INTERFERES WITH OUR ABILITY TO READ OUR *OWN* CLOSED CAPTIONS. IT IS LIKE TRYING TO READ A DOUBLE-PRINTED, MIS-ALIGNED NEWSPAPER PAGE.
So called "super powers" come and go because they think they can undo and they can challenge, like Pharoah of Egypt in the time of Moses, the Creator and Sustainer of the whole universe, God. And this fall will manifest, maybe suddenly or slowly...
is your mic on? your audio is terrible on your end.
The mustache man was right about one thing 🔥
Yeah yeah yeah...focus on India.
Colonel, you forgot to tell us hw the Houtis identify Israel and non-Israle bound ships in the Red sea
typical former US military type who points his finger at all the other baddies whence he came as though he did not know these things going in!

Yeah this isnt news to anyone in the know, good interview for newcomers but the US has been in the decline since the wall street crash of 08. It just took a while for the signs to show.
America has never won a war, on its own. It couldn't even beat the armed resistance put up by locals in various parts of the world - the Middle East, Vietnam, etc. But for Russia the US wouldn't even have invaded Europe in '44. Korea was a stalemate, ditto Vietnam. Iraq was a debacle. Syria was a debacle. Libya was just trashed and then abandoned. The US population is self obsessed and weak. They lack the spirit required, in the numbers necessary. Ukraine teaches us that formal warfare is over - the future is dirty, and will be dominated by drones, cyber attacks, and militias that bear no resemblance to traditional armies.
The future will be...difficult, toxic and very interesting.
Pardon me but the colonel's knowledge of India is not accurate. I suggest every one should do their own due diligent research on India.
The question asked is what he thinks about Muslims around the world uniting against Israel because of its actions and the Colonel goes on a rant about the theocracy in Tehran! What do you know about Iran and its mode of government Colonel? Have you ever traveled to Iran? Did you study Iranian politics and history? Or is it your prejudice talking? The interviewer, being a Palestinian, knows well that without continuous Iranian support, financial, technological, military and political, the resistance wouldn't be able to accomplish what it's done but says nothing to challenge his absurd assertions.
