You just can’t make obscene windfall profits under peace. The economy is geared for war. I’d guess the fact is that more people make more money under peace.
Great interviewee and interviewer. I am constantly impressed by the quality of journalism at Al Jazeera. Very much deserved their award for Best New Network in 2022. I will never forget that George Bush tried to shut them down due to their reporting during the Iraq war, labelling them as “terrorists”.
You should watch their Arabic language news channel. They literally have terrorists on promoting mass murder on a regular basis on their Arabic language news channel. You’re being played for a fool. Learn Arabic and see why the Middle East is drenched in blood 🩸

That's said, I can't help wondering: What's in it for Qatar or al Jazeera to enlighten me? Hopefully its just insightful journalism is a profitable niche part of the media space and doing it well helps them secure a larger market share of it, but I wonder if the there's some value in my increased level of disconent with the military industrial complex and their plausible glee at a prolonged conflict that makes them billions?

My great respect to you Daniel. Hope more people do listen your point of view. We all need to wise up to say "no" to puppet masters. Quality of journalism. 10/10 for All Jazeera.
Excellent. The best interview I have heard on this issue till now, dealing with almost all its aspects. It should be shared among the broadest mass of auditors over the world to realize the truth.
As long as the people who are forced to fight and die in the wars have no say in how governments use their military power there will always be wars. Most of us don't want to kill fight or die, we just want to live our lives and be left in peace, not pieces.
The fact that militaries exist their will be war! All wars are the aggressor going in to take what the aggressor wants! They have no value of life only the oppressors and those that are all involved their mob!

It is no secret that the one who wants war is the United States (US) Military Industrial Complex (MIC). War represents huge profits for the MIC. Do you know that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin used to be on the board of directors of one of those MIC companies? The world, therefore, regards the US as the biggest threat to peace. 99% of US citizens don’t want war. We want healthcare, housing, education, jobs and our rights respected. Even though the US is supposedly the “beacon of democracy”, we never get want we want. This is why today US citizens are less than 40% satisfied with our government. While 8 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens, the US is the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic. Thus, the 1% gets the American dream, while the rest of us get the American nightmare! Can the 99% create a real US democracy?
They call it production when it’s nothing more than destruction. They say it builds strength in young men but it ether kills them or too often sends them home messed up physically and mentally. They say it’s so awesome for its technological development but can’t even build the technology to combat global warming. They can’t even admit there is global warming. They say its all about defense but funny how quick they are to find an enemy. They say it’s a matter of making the nation stronger even as they bleed US of our domestic infrastructure and services, and seconds from termination on the doomsday clock. War is a racket and a Lie! We are a fool of a species to be so dependent on it. War No More!
A very good interview, thank you. I would of maybe liked, for the last question, to be what this man thinks about this Nuclear threat that seems to be very real this time around..But, as l said, thank you for the interview.
I forgot who said it but the quote "How do you expect peace if you don't want to talk to your enemy?" seems to be the last thing on the agenda. Everyone is approaching issues from different extremes making any attempt to achieve a compromise of any sort and any matter dead on arrival. Not to mention that any attempt from a leader to even acknowledge the other sides position let alone strike a dialogue will automatically and very bizarrely imply that the leader is "weak" and thus not worthy of office. This goes both domestically and internationally.

War benefits very much people in power or connected to it.while peace benefits many ordinary people who tool everyday.
