The China-Russia relationship may have started out as a marriage of convenience, but constant American pressure changed that relationship into a much deeper and much more permanent one. High pressure is what turns charcoal into diamond. Now, Russia faces a wall of hostility in the west. This hostility is so irrational and intense that even dogs and cats did not escape. This hostility seems to be enduring, lasting long into the future decades. I would call this the biggest geopolitical blunder in history of the world.
Many thanks to Mr. Glenn Diesen for giving us the clearest and unbiased explanation of the asymmetrical nature of America & Europe’s historical relationships with Russia, forcing Russia to turn to the East after the events of 2014, and the current rise of multipolarity led by Russia and China opposing the unipolar American empire.
China and Russia together with the global majority ARE NOT in opposition to namerica. They are just fed up with the latter CONTINUOUS STEALING from them that they do not want to play with namerica anymore.

When the US realized that they would never have a Yeltsin again, they decided to go down the path to war. The current war is what the US has been aiming for since 2014. As is often the case, the war has not turned out to be the cakewalk that was envisioned. Funny how often that happens.
With the overwhelming military power today, I do NOT think China will allow and neither will US and US allies will dare to enter into military conflicts with China anywhere near China including Philippines in SE Asia. The truth is the first and foremost stability and peace of SE Asia is well protected by China today and beyond.
The problem is simple to understand if you begin from this one fact. The American Empire is an offspring of the British Empire. It prefers to colonise the World using International Finance Capital based out of the "City of London" but will not hesitate to use force and violence when necessary (WW1, WW2, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine etc..). There are "managers" that branch out like a spider's tentacles to maintain the Empires control like BIS (Bank of International Settlements), Wall Street, MIC (military industrial complex), Westernised academic institutions (i.e. Neo-liberal economics), Western foundations and think tanks (i.e. Ford, Rockefeller, Chatham House) mainstream media, NGO's etc. The purpose of Imperialism is wealth extraction (land, resources, labor, human mind etc..) from the World for the benefit a Racist Elite minority (they do nothing and live in a garden while the slaves do everything and live in the jungle). Imperialism keeps and forces countries to stay under-developed and dependent. Finally, the Imperialists will "lie, cheat and steal" (as per Mike Pompeo ex US secretary of state and CIA director) to maintain their grip over humanity.
American Empire is a special kind of imperialism. While everything you say is true, one important part is missing: dogma. Unlike previous empires, US empire has a doctrine that transforms it from a-political colonization to the multi-faceted cult that is neoliberalism. Whereas it used to be a zero sum game of territory it is now a zero sum game of ideology. Conquest has been replaced by sanctions, nationalism replaced by corporatism, evangelization replaced by subjugation. Neoliberalism has a lot in common with nazism. It is just as intolerant of other idelogies, is just as violent and just as potent. That's why The West has no problems supporting nazi's in Ukraine, as they are very much alike.
I have never been a big fan of Henry Kissinger, but I certainly believed that he was correct when he said that the US must ensure that it has better relations with China and Russia than they have with each other. In the brief unipolar moment after the fall of the Soviet Union, the US decided that it could ignore that advice and has not yet seen the error it has made.
The one thing I'll disagree with is that China responding militarily would be a trap they should avoid. The US has overstretched itself just supporting the proxy war. Them trying to support two, while also having military deployments everywhere and a possible war with Iran, would actually be the best time to commit to a military solution that the US is pushing for.
Glenn view is the most objective and balanced, directed towards harmony between nations and interests. Push forward with this.. u r right, work with China but also diversify. India, Africa, Brazil, even EU, Jaoan.. all shd help build a multipolar and harmonizing world, sometimes hav to adjust some of our own views, but also assert others, most important build thru own efforts for strength and independence.
We've seen these past 5-7 years, the stark sharpening of maligned influence of the US in Global affairs (in truth, this maligned influence has been around for the past 50 years). Humanity's future is with multi-polarity and an end to hegemony. China's unwavering position of non-interference and respect of sovereignty, indivisible security and economic cooperation and building cultural interactions, is going to anchor and set the tone for this new multi-polar world. It pre-empts the prospect of regional hegemons even (if the biggest, strongest nation isn't exerting regional hegemony, it would make it very difficult for other regional powers to attempt it).
WW III had already started years way back except in different forms, and were all fired and first triggered by the collective West towards pivotal states situated in Eurasia landmass. Recent three ones are Russia-Ukraine conflict, Israel-Hamas war + Shia resistance group, and various wars between US and China covering trade, economic, technology, …etc. The much-worried concern is will there be a hot war for WW III? and my guesstimate is NOT for two reasons; firstly Wall street capital controlled America can NOT afford to accept a loss in wealth because of damages caused by war; secondly, China had already started years ago to disarm US, and extendable collective West, by reducing or limiting key materials for armament production. How can you bite without teeth?
China and Russia need each other in this era. Stand by each other and give support to each other. There is a famous Chinese short story about a father teaching his kids - saying "all brothers must stand by each other", and the father taking few thin sticks and bundle them together to give an example if thin sticks are bundle together they will be much stronger and won't break so easily"
Professor Glenn, It would be great for all of us watching this video, if you could kindly elucidate how the US and associates managed to scuttle all peace making efforts that eventually led to present day conflicts in Ukraine. Thank you.
We can only assume that the US has bribed all the european leaders, and has been doing so for years. Europe has been sold out for a war with Russia. How bloody stupid can you get?
From the West's perspective, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the opportunity was for non stop looting. And the West took that opportunity with both hands.
Russia and China can't possibly break off from each other, it's just impossible. Russia and China are blood related to each other. As equal as Russia is blood relatives to Ukraine, Lithuania, Germany etc to the West. Ethnics in Russia, such as Kazakhs, Tuvans, Koryo-saram, and Buryats are actually in China too. Well Koryo-saram are also in Korea too btw... Asians got this saying. Water cut by knife cannot be separated. All Asians are the "water" in this case...
Very simplified. The west did not embrace Russia. The EU has a set of criteria for adoption and we've seen how this has created friction in especially Hungary. The fact nonetheless is that Ukraine did want association with EU like Georgia and they paid the price from Russo 'multipolar' policy.
Did the West topple the government in Ukraine or was it that Ukraine didn't like Putin's man's alignment with Russia instead of integration with Europe? When Putin saw his man in Ukraine replaced by a more EU leaning government, he showed his hope for incremental integration with the West by taking Crimea? Has Putin ever disavowed hero worship of the imperial Russian czars?
To understand what is going on it’s necessary to consider that there has been a definite genocide of the Slavic ethnic group of humanity going on for hundreds of years now. In fact they are not even mentioned in the list of ethnic groups any longer! It’s very disturbing when you look into this and their history. The question that should be asked why. Well seems they were always seen as too militaristic and lesser human beings even. Then the question should be what does diversity then mean if humanity will allow certain people to decide which people as a group should or should not be allowed to exist. When will humanity sort out this obviously inhumane ideologies without resorting to genocide. Ukraine, Poland and entire Eastern European nations are Slavic ethnic group and has been targeted for generations now Zelensky is not part of this ethnic group.
We've got some seriously oversized ⚾️ balls for a tiny pup named NATO! It's like watching a little dog storm the castle-NATO's got its sights set on Russia! Meanwhile, those German leopards are prowling around Kursk like they own the place. And just when you thought it couldn't get weirder, rumor has it Hitler's throwing a comeback tour in Germany and the UK!
With due respect, Sir Richard Moore's analysis is not only outdated but also benefits the Axis Forces (Germany+Japan) World War III plan. Still maintaining the Cold War 1968 analogy, Sir Moore cannot see the 'Big Picture' in the Atlantic and Pacific Theaters. Elite beliefs shape state behavior, and the Axis Forces have studied British culture, norms, and institutions to determine how to use the strength of the British for the Axis Forces' World War III grand strategy. And Sir Moore has played directly into the Axis Forces' hands. When MI6 is unintelligent, the world is in crisis.
Autonomous interdependence is a hilarious phrase when the word neocolonialism exists. The partnership developing between Russia and China was obvious 30 years ago if you've ever read anything written by Halford Mackinder or his acolytes. Brzezinski described the worst case scenario for the West in the 90s and the current generation of political leaders have followed that as their exact blueprint because they are taking their orders from international capital instead of the other way around as it goes in the East.
Some comments , The EU has various attitudes , the mediteranean countries are OK with Russia as a good commercial partner while the easterners see Russia as a threat they are devoted to the US not so much with Bruxelles Germany is torn in the middle for the US "military industrial" constellation and their political advocacy one can perceive that while the Army is focusing on Russia , the Navy see China as the first opponent the result is antagonizing both China know that their very prosperity can be destroyed by a US naval blockade , thus Russia provide a "back door " , not a big one but enough not to be strangled in a matter of months one can suspect that the US want to keep the EU in a state of dependency , selling them their weapons at all cost avoid the emergence of an Eurasian trading block or God forbid , an EU independent military with an independent weapon industry the US provoked the present conflict , weapon and energy sales are doing great but this created advances toward a larger EU wide weapons manufacturing
They are somehow right because Europe now is under neo liberals. Any values they have is in the dustbin and Russia is a country who preserved the European values(whatever that means) They are more European than Europe itself.
and since those two died you had Napoleons genocidal invasion, Crimean war, then we had ww1 and ww2. there was also thebsupport for jihadists... so if those invasions/actions and the celebrating tge likes of Bandera represent freedom fighting as seen by EU, then EU is a $hithole which should be ignored globally.
