- Today's interview is with Yuval Noah Harari, Israeli historian, professor in the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and author of the bestsellers Sapiens: "A Brief History of Humankind", "Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow," and "21 Lessons for the 21st Century". In his books and public speeches he explores how biology and history are connected. For Russian version please go to • Юваль Ной Харари: «Есл...
00:00 Yuval Noah Harari is an Israeli military historian-medievalist and futurologist who has articulated the major problems humanity will face in the twenty-first century and described ways to solve them.
02:40 We already have new problems, and at the same time old problems are returning. Mankind lived in the most prosperous era because people were working to create a new kind of world order that was not perfect, but which was better than anything we had before. Now everything is falling apart. We have a COVID-19 pandemic again, we have a war going on now, the famine is coming back.
05:31 After four months of war, the military budgets of countries have grown. Humanity's advances in health care and advanced technology were made possible because military budgets were small. The way Putin built his war machine was made possible by the fact that for many years he neglected health care, education, and the welfare of the people and spent money on building his palaces, tanks and missiles.
10:28 Putin has already lost, however successful his military operation may have been. The purpose of the war was to destroy the Ukrainian people. Putin has constructed a fantasy that Ukrainians want to be part of Russia. Zelensky would run away, the Ukrainian army would surrender. He has failed miserably. Putin is making Ukrainians and Russians enemies with his own hands for generations to come
15:08 A nation is one of the best stories humans have ever created if we get it right! A nation is about loving the people around you. Good nationalism is about paying your taxes. Right now, patriotism in Russia is to build a tank and go bomb the cities of a neighboring country. Joe Biden suggested that Zelensky evacuate from Kiev, he expected Zelensky to agree, assuming that human life carries more weight than state interests. But Ukrainian society disagrees. The U.S. really didn’t believe that the Ukrainians had any chance. The Ukrainians understand that the Russians will not stop there. If you listen to what Putin says in his February 24th declaration of war, and then again and again: the goal is the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine. The Soviet Union was guided by the past. The best time was when we fought the Nazis. Let's bring that time back.
29:55 People can't just completely abandon their history. Every nation tends to create a distorted image of the past. Nations need the help of a therapist. But people don't want to hear the whole truth. It's too painful. You look in the mirror and think your nation is beautiful, better than all the others. You risk falling into the trap of fascism.
33:47 Nationalist populism is gaining popularity in the world. In India and Brazil, people are voting for it. It is important not to fall into the trap of talking about it as an either/or choice. There is no contradiction between nationalism and liberalism. Ukrainians are fighting for it. Ukrainians are fighting to join the European Union.
39:33 The end of the culture war in the West between conservatives and liberals is a necessary reaction to the war in Ukraine. The West has been more united and more active than anyone could have imagined before the war began. This must continue because this war will be a long one. The West must not only win the war, it must win the peace. Russia is part of the West and Europe.
43:44 The reaction of the Russians, who are not protesting, a lot of people, pretending nothing is going on. This war started as a war of one man, one Putin. But even after Putin dies, the hatred will persist.
47:38 Gorbachev saved us from nuclear war. The war is now on for the breakup of the Soviet Union. I began to admire Gorbachev even more, because if someone like Putin had been in power then, none of us would be in power today
52:02 Humanity is now on the brink: pandemic, war, and now famine. The horsemen of the apocalypse. And this is artificially created. It didn't start with a pandemic. We need to come together and build a better global order than what we have now. We have technology, science, economic resources, but no political wisdom. The Russian people can make a different choice, elect other leaders, a different political system, at least trivially begin to be guided by their own selfish interests. That's what the Ukrainians did, they chose democracy. That's why Putin is really afraid of the Ukrainians - primarily because of this.
Thanks for posting untranslated version, Mikhail.
Misha, terrific guests lineup, thank you
Hi Mikhail, I have only now discovered your channel and so happy to hear the amazing speakers and their views on Ukraine and Russia.
aaaammmmazing! thanks for uploading the original as well
It is always nice to listen to Yuval Noah Harari. I think he is wrong on the Germans being forced by the victors to actively engage themselves with the horrors of the Third Reich. In 1945, most germans just wanted to forget and this was supported by the allies because they wanted a strong Germany for support in the looming Cold War. It was the young Germans in the 1960s who started to ask questions about past of their parents. This generation is responsible for the unique German mass psychotherapy which is still ongoing until today.
I’ve been to the Museum of Terror (of the 2nd WW) in Berlin. It was amazing and so beautiful, such a high level of reflection and dignity in telling the ugly truth in the most humble way.
I hope one day we will have a museum like that in Moscow too. And also the Museum of Corruption in the infamous Putin’s palace.
Mr. Schumacher. You are absolutely right. It was especially the 68 Generation who started to question the past. "Dad! Where you a Nazi?"
But also, to their credit, many western publics (and possibly others), have looked at the rise of fascism and the holocaust as a human or civilizational event, and one to understand because it is not exceptional. In fact, I was just reading some letters written by allied soldiers who first liberated concentration camps, and the shock and horror at what they witnessed was matched only by the pleading that it would be remembered, and people would always understand the dehumanization that is possible.
The 60’s German’s would not have gotten there without their parents re-evaluation of their participation in the war.
@@bpjfocusonparis9592 You need to name a few examples or don’t bother to comment.
The best post I' ve heard this months! Thanks!
Absolutely amazing interview. Also, I am impressed by such analysis performed by non Ukrainian or russian raised. Thank you for this conversation.
Reasonable and clever person with clarity in thoughts can be raised anywhere. A good historian has to analyze the past to see paths to the future.
Zygar is a Russian in exile.
Harari: "If the bully gets away with it then people realize that's it the social norm is broken, the order is collapsed, and you see more and more bullies copying him, you see more Putins around the world. But if he loses, and if its clear to everybody that he lost, then the norm actually gets strengthened. You have dictators around the world looking at what's happened to him and realizing;, "no, we shouldn't do this because it will be very costly it will be very painful,for us if we do it."
But what he have is one bully instigating another bully. Don’t send your sons and daughters to support any of the bullies I assure you that they’re not sending their own sons and daughters.
@@jasonbrambach6957 There is only one way to deal with a bully. The community needs to stand up to him. In the case of Putin, the community is Europe and the democratic nations of the world. Blaming the U.S. is Putin's game.
Thank you for putting Harari's words in writing, helping me see the importance of helping Ukraine. I was more focused on why we don't try even a little to see Putin's side. I think he did have a side-- until he started bombing them, & hurting them in other ways. Still, I wish there had been more efforts to broker a peace. OF COURSE books will be written about how the U.S. did this to Russia & Ukraine; in fact, I don't even think it needs to be written. It will be obvious to many, if not most. That's my 2nd biggest problem with it. It's a hell of a gamble, only to have more enemies, in the end. But maybe other crazy dictatorships have been avoided.
My biggest problem with so much intervention, overseas, is that I was hypnotically enslaved & hypnotically tortured for decades in San Antonio, TX, & people just seemed to think it was funny, or think it was outrageous, & ask if I was joking----- but basically, no one stopped the noises & nastiness that kept me hypnotized, for decades, screwing up my children. My son has a TERRIBLE speech impediment. My daughter has problems. No one was arrested, not even the doctors who found ways to not get my skin well.
George Bush, Sr. showed up in 1997, one year after the worst, so I suppose that's something, but now he's dead. It's hard not to wonder, " Am I crazy to continue to believe in my God, & my country?" Even more, it's hard not to think, "They are CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY, to think the U.S. needs to find wars in Ukraine, when a young Aggie graduate can't even move 4 hours west, to San Antonio, without this happening!!!"
Ok got hooked on the interviews, subscribed!
спасибо за добавление оригинальной версии!
Thank you!
Very very good. The professor, as the normal person being outside Russia, cannot even admit for a second that majority of Russians not scared, not disoriented, etc. but supports with all the heart the "Russian world", "Ukraines is the artificial nation invented by Lenin" and the war in general.
Wrong
Words can never convince those who do not want to be convinced.
I honestly hope you can explain this to me---- please excuse my stupidity: "Ukraine is the artificial nation created by Lenin"? I'm not familiar with this. I had a long, bad breakdown, where I missed almost everything.
Putin said that Lenin created the artificial nation of Ukraine?
To let you see who I am, I had a class about Russian History, & although I am a terrible student, I think I would have remembered if the book or professor said Lenin did this, but, of course, you would know more. Why would Lenin do this?
I do remember the Vikings coming down the Dnieper, I think --- & I think we had a book ( this was 40 years ago) about Kievan Rus, " The Cradle of Rissian Civilization". It may have been just a part of a book.
Putin's story of the restoration of the old "Russian World" does not need control of Ukraine or Poland or Latvia and is in conflict with present reality and the reality of Ukrainian nationalism.
Putin's greatest achievement would to use Russian wealth for the health and education of the Russian people and to make young Russians want to stay in Russia and build a new glorious Russia and not flee to foreign lands.
@jcharissesanberg333 I would give you links, but tgat's outside YT safety zone and would get rejected. There's two things you have to learn why rashists say this everywhere. First, the workings of Russian black-propaganda and the concrete putinist version of history today. It's written in their new textbooks, but it wasn't allways like that. Fascism weaponises history, one of the biggest slpins ala NHitler's "Big Lie". Putin birrowed this method and added to already overwritten 'Soviet' history that Ukraine is a lie. Even in horrific depiction of PSKP and brotherly nation Soviet history books, that idea of Lenin 'Creating' Ukraine from scratch wasn't even proposed. It's come with the new cremlin inspiration sources, such as Ilyin, Dugin, and i suggest you find a piece "What should be done with Ukraine" by Timofei Sergeitsev. The ideas of that is based on this spin put on Lenin's aminstrative land border of SSR republics Ukraine and Belarus. Passing from Tzar rule trough gaining independence for about a year, and annexed by Moscow again, Lenin joined formally west and east Ukraine, which didn't habe autonomous 'republic's'' status in Nikolay's Russian empire. After occupation of Bolseviks and installing centralised autonomy, similar to colony borders were adjudted between ethnic in Soviet view, national in very occupied nation view, , identity were already different between all nations of today. Lenin created nothing, he adminstered way of governance, same as Muscovite rulers in Kyiv centuries ago.
Second thing, Putin pushes this also because he consider recounting his legacy right. As Khol said, it's casus belli rallying fantasy. The more dangerous is the normalization of the overwritten history is 'as true from opposite perspective' in the west and south of the World. Because fantasy is appealing to ignorant people, who just like rashist putinists, becomes unwaivering beyond reason and facts. That's what Dugincalled 'special Russian truth' and includes history. In other words, postmodern Russian propaganda hell, where truth is whatever mental gymnastics allows to be rising the self-righteous messaia-nation syndrome. Who will save their lost brothers by force from becoming any identity and legitimate nation state with higher level of life than 'humiliated' Russian wasteland.s Lenin an adversarie of ideologies, his favouriye is Stalin, despite not
Best interviewer I've seen.
Thanks so much, great to hear it without translation.
A superb talk/interview from Harari. Again. Keep on keeping on spreading the light of understanding Yuval.
This was such a fascinating talk, thank you!
Brilliant interview
Fantastic interview! As soon as I saw the name of today's guest I clicked Play. Thank you!
As always Yuval 💕☮️🙏
He is Jewish heritage but credits Buddhism for changing his life and if you know anything about Buddhism you can see how it has positively influenced his broader thinking.
Good analysis of the situation
as usual great عاش
Such clarity and sense in what he says. Love how as an interviewer you listen so carefully.
Great interview, thanks. But disappointing to hear such a serious thinker as Yuval Harari essentially putting forward a psychological explanation for the world's current crises. It's not that 'we' have neglected 'our' institutions, it's that those institutions serve the profit-seeking interests of capitalism. Only when we have abolished the latter will we be able seriously to address the problems facing humanity.
could it be that this is what he means by 'neglected'? because i don't disagree with your point.
Very interesting episode. Yuval never disappoints 🔥
Yeah.. proper creepy freak right?
Is he Jewish?
@@Zeckenbisss yes... but decent jews are ashamed of him is the short answer... the longer one has just been censored by RUclips lol... typical 😆
@@no_clot_shot1128 the decent Jews has to stand up against their bad fellows
@@Zeckenbisss this one is a total creep
Very nice!!!
Nike, catastrophe, apostrophe - are Greek-originated words with voiced vowel in the end. As well as Adobe (but not "abode").
The word "NEW" in English doesn't have palatalized consonant [j] (or semivowel, if you prefer) which definitely is there in the word "Yes". On the contrary, words like "new", "few" and so on don't have it.
BRILLIANT
Спасибо что постите и английский вариант 🙏
Best line, "people go to war and make sacrifices for a fantasy"
yes .remember all the wars America fought for the multinationals
@bergerwouter1955 Would you call invasion of Quwait, farmer head littered Syrisn farms after IS taid or Kosovan genocide a fantasy? I'm not arguing about WMD's, allthough they were used by Assad's regime. Or you just think we live in a Matrix so everything is fantasy?
great answer
Powerful. Thank you for all the insights.
Liked it!
Milkhail, I would love to see you having a conversation with either Lex Friedman or Jordan Peterson. Both of them seem to have a special emotional connection to Russians and Russian culture. Just a thought.
I can't handle the background music, drums, etc. Can you make a version for people with weird hearing?
The success he has with those three books went to his head.
Dr Harari again puts his clear analysis forward . We must act on his inescapable conclusion that mankind is on the edge of the abyss.
hey! how about leaving the camera on the person being interviewed!
Lots of troll comments…Vlad Vexler has great talks on Putin and the war as well.
This guy is genius, I am proud of Israel having such a great scientist! To love each other - this is a real patriotism! I adore you, Yuval! !אתה התקווה של האנושות, תודה לך
Thanks Zygar! Слава Україні!
Excellent contribution, thank you!
Why don't you give the wider picture , you Yuval, a great historian?
Many thanks for this important interview
Can you tell us what was so important in this freak Harari speech?
Always informed by discussions with Yuval Noah Harari. I would have liked the conversation to touch upon Putin's aim of removing NATO from Europe, at least the former Soviet block countries.
I trust Putin more than I trust this megalomaniac.
As if removing NATO from Europe was not "a good thing".
Why? These people are geopolitical idiots.
This is a wonderful interview. Yuval Harari gives some really fascinating tidbits, and I love the way interviewer wrestles with some of these ideas. Bravo!
It's always a great pleasure to hear Harari's ideas and opinions. Thank you for this interview!
I love to hear Harari's ideas and thoughts. Thank you for the wonderful interview with great historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari.
Brilliant! Only one comment. It's Eltsin who decided to split Soviet Union, not Gorbachev.
Eltsin John, the great Russian rockstar who wore funny sunglasses?
Last sentence "crash landed" me back to Mother Russia's land: "If they can do this why can't we?" Talking about making lives of the people, life for ourselves more comfortable. May be because we can't do it!? That makes me frenzy above all!
Thank you for the great discussion!
Amazing interview. Thanks a lot Mikhail.
The Soviet Union collapsed under Gorbachev, but not because of him
It's a wonder that the "Soviet Union" did not collapse many times earlier. Empire based on theft and indecency
Soviet Union got fked up by a money pit called Afghanistan and Star-Wars space strategy race with the USA. Oh and by the apathy of the Russian hillbilly peasants.
I accidentally stumbled over the Timothy Snyder interview and now I am watching this one. Besides the amazing guests it’s nice to see a good, humane Russian. I hope there are many more like you. They must be…
hope there are one or two sensible europeans or americans too...I didn t see one these last years
Thanks for publishing this extremely interesting and insightful analysis
Wonderful interview
What a great guest!
must have missed it. this guy is crap
brilliant analysis
👇🫵🏼 The Cuban Missile Crisis is perhaps the closest the world has ever come to global nuclear war. Four instances over the 13-day event stand out in particular, the first one happening on October 25, 1962.
Tensions were already high during the crisis, and the US military was placed on DEFCON 3, two steps away from nuclear war.
Just after midnight on October 25, a guard at the Duluth Sector Direction Center in Minnesota saw a figure attempting to climb the fence around the facility. The guard, worried that the figure was a Soviet saboteur, shot at the figure and activated the sabotage alarm.
This triggered air raid alarms to go off at all air bases in the area. Pilots at Volk Field in neighboring Wisconsin to panic, since they knew that no tests or practices would happen while the military was on DEFCON 3.
The pilots were ordered to their nuclear armed F-106A interceptors, and were taxiing down the runway when it was determined the alarm was false. They were stopped by a car that had raced to the airfield to tell the pilots to stop.
The intruder turned out to be a bear.
October 27, 1962 - A Soviet sub almost launches a nuclear torpedo👇
Two of the instances actually occurred on the same day - October 27, 1962, arguably the most dangerous day in history.
On the morning of October 27, a U-2F reconnaissance aircraft was shot down by the Soviets while over Cuba, killing its pilot, causing tensions to escalate to their highest point.
Later, a Soviet submarine, the B-59, was detected trying to break the blockade that the US Navy had established around Cuba. The destroyer USS Beale dropped practice depth charges in an attempt to make the submarine surface.
The captain of the B-59, Valentin Savitsky, thought the submarine was under attack and ordered to prepare the submarine's nuclear torpedo to be launched at the aircraft carrier USS Randolf.
All three senior officers aboard the B-59 had to agree to the launch before it happened. Fortunately, the B-59's second in command, Vasili Arkhipov, disagreed with his other two counterparts, and convinced the captain to surface and await orders from Moscow.
On the very same day, US Air Force pilots almost caused WW III to break out over the Bering Sea, the body of water between Alaska and Russia.
A US Air Force U-2 reconnaissance aircraft was en route to the North Pole for an air sampling mission. The spy plan accidentally crossed into Soviet airspace and lost track of its location, spending 90 minutes in the area before turning East to leave.
As it did so, at least six MiG fighter jets were sent to shoot down the U-2 while it was trespassing. Strategic Air Command, worried about the prospect of losing another U-2, sent F-102 Delta Daggers armed with nuclear Falcon air-to-air missiles.
Upon learning of the situation, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara reportedly yelled "this means war with the Soviet Union!" President John F. Kennedy reportedly said that “there’s always some son of a b---- that doesn’t get the word."
Luckily, the F-102s never encountered the MiGs, and escorted the U-2 back to Alaska.
September 26, 1983 - A Soviet colonel makes the biggest gamble in history👇
Just after midnight on September 26, 1983, Soviet satellite operators at the Serpukhov-15 bunker just south of Moscow got a warning that a US Minuteman nuclear missile had been launched. Later, four more missiles were detected.
Tensions between the US and Soviet Union were strained earlier in the month, when the Soviets shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007 near Sakhalin Island, killing all 269 people on board - including US Congressman Larry McDonald.
The commanding officer at the bunker, Stanislav Petrov, was to inform his superiors of the launches, so an appropriate response could be made. Soviet policy back then called for an all-out retaliatory strike.
Knowing this, Petrov decided not to inform his superiors. "All I had to do was to reach for the phone; to raise the direct line to our top commanders - but I couldn't move. I felt like I was sitting on a hot frying pan," he recalled of the incident.
He reasoned that if the US were to strike the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons, they would send hundreds of missiles, not just five.
But Petrov had no way of knowing if he was right until enough time had passed, by which time nuclear bombs could have hit their targets, arguably making his decision the biggest gamble in human history.
After 23 minutes, Petrov's theory that it was a false alarm was confirmed. It was later discovered that a Soviet sattelite had mistaken sunlight reflecting off the top of clouds as missiles.

A great, great evaluation, a clear mind; he speaks a verry clear english language ( we can understand each word)
"How many months do you have to wait as a typical Russian citizen to get an MRI test?" - this is a really, really, really bad example) You do not need to wait months. If it is a big city like Saint-Petersburg then same day if you ready to come any time and to any clinic. Otherwise up to a week. The cost is 50-100$. The healthcare systems in US and Russia are very, very different and not being able to make and appointment or huge prices are not the main problems in Russia.

Fair play Yuval, you know what's what,
This guy Harari talks a great deal of good sense
This is very important for our future. We should think about it if we love our children.
Here we see Mikhails wish that saving human life is a higher moral aim than for example "nationalism" but he clashes with the positive real meaning of nationalism, that is well expressed by this professor. This means in the end, that fleeing from the war has not the highest moral ground. Fighting for Your "compatriots" that protest or fight Putin is positive nationalism and lets face it: there are many ways to fight such a system, that dont expose You or endanger you.
Amazing interview.
Harari showing once again how far you can get by applying common sense to problems intelligently. He makes you wonder: "if it's this easy to think straight, why are so many people so benighted in their thoughts?". Of course part of the answer is that Harari makes it look easier than it is.
remember Youval Noah Harari's Sapiens to be so popular in book shops in Moscow, in English but mostly in Russian...I wonder where you are, those book lovers...
Remark's books were also very popular in Russia. People read them but it seems that they didn't take any lessons
To read and to understand - is not the same
Харари Шаламова читает. Неплохо! Вообще, мне кажется, он довольно неплохо понимает, что происходит. Спасибо, Михаил. Хорошее интервью.
At the beginning of this conversation, especially regarding Russian politics and Putin, Harari talks as if America and Europe and their leaders are not involved.
He is not always right. Also he is more political, ambitious man who is so into change the future.
Another fascinating interview with Yuval Noah Harari. I liked his words that in the history of mankind it would be written that Putin destroyed Russia, not Gorbachev, and no one would have lived if Putin was in charge in 1980.
Or not.

If the bully (US) gets away with it? "The U.S. had by far the largest military budget at $767.8 billion in 2021, but China's outlay was also quite large at $270 billion. In comparison, the other four nations had more modest outlays, ranging from Saudi Arabia's $53.8 billion to India's $73.6 billion." Russia isn't even in the picture.
A jack of all trades and a master of none. Bravo Jack Harari!
The guy who told everybody "You will own nothing and you will be happy"... What a choice of guests! Your books were more honest then what is it you are doing now..
Revealing and adjusting meaningful interview. Definitely, available institutions appears to be failing to convince parties concerned. Any way promote them to find amicable peace and contribute more meaningful utilization of resources in favor of humanity suffering multiple problems viz: poverty, pandemics, health care etc.
On 13th of January 1991, unarmed Lithuania struggled for its right to be a free, independent and democratic country. 14 people were killed, about 1000 were injured as the Soviet occupation army and the KGB attempted to overthrow the legitimate government of the country and to seize the Lithuanian national radio and television building, the TV tower and publishing houses. The people of Lithuania demonstrated their inner strength, they defeated the Soviet aggression and defended their freedom in the spirit of truth and love.
It is very disappointing when a significant historian sympathizes with Gorbachev, who is being prosecuted in Lithuania for military aggression.
Sorry to hear - I did not know that. Not surprised, though.
Yes we know that life of even one person is sacred. But your country suffers 10 deaths which is tragic, but being in a state like russia or soviet it is even expected as easy otherwise this same you attainted via protests sometimes causes exploitation of generations and deaths of thousands. Due to that time circumstances and that political power, i think it considers as less or negligible for the formation of new state. In that sense, may be gorbachev is considered as good as compared to another ones.
Love this guy, never heard him utter a stupid word yet.
I have the opposite perception of him.

There is a link on his wiki but that takes you to the Oxford archives and ask you to register. I tried but can’t find the PDF. copy.
@@PhillyRanita I would not bother I am done with this clown Harari.
😥
It is important to learn history because we are in a limited time span of maybe 100 years. People who are educated like this gentleman help people discern in confusing times like now (War has now spread to Israelians and Palestinians over the land). It is also confusing because technology (WWW, internet, smartphone, and AI) is bringing the world together, and yet people are stuck in regionalism, nationalism, and ideology of the past. All this is happening at a fast pace.
With Globalisation everyone thought they could solve the problem of high prices with outsourcing. Now when problem happen they understand who realy will help them.
I am disappointed to find Harari to be biased on this issue, would expect a more objective approach
Multi-polarization is the only way. No more hegemon.
No. US hegemony is far superior to allowing anti-democratic thugs to have comparable power.
The Russian word for nation is natsia. Denazification in Russian may also mean destroying an independent nation, so it’s not quite clear what exactly Putin meant. To Ukrainians, who don’t see any Nazis around, Putin’s denatsificatsia sounds like killing Ukraine’s statehood and destroying whatever makes Ukraine and the Ukrainians distinct from Russia and the Russians
Ive been thinking since 2014 that the survival of Ukraine will determine the type of future we will have. One where we rally arou d the principles of liberal democracy or a slow decline toward totalitarian states.
this interview will note age well
I guess that’s progress. We’ve gone from a Noah who built an ark to one that would have drowned in the flood.
Great Harari. Great!

Yuval is amazing
how brilliant!
Ich glaube weil jeder im Leben der anderen rumbohrt und es verändern möchte ,anstatt selbst auf Gottes Ewiges Lebendiges Heilendes Wort Gottes im Glauben umzusetzen und Dankbar zu sein, haben wir diesen Weltzustand.
Gottes Wort Jesus Christus IST soo wahr .Er wird die Klugen und Weisen mit törichtem schwachen zerschlagen.
Ach Welt wenn du nur erkennen würdest wie arm nackt blind und bloß du bist
Wenn ihr doch zur Ewigen Wahrheit zu Gott umkehren wolltet euch retten zu lassen.

What a historian! Have we ever had even a decade without harsh wars since the Second World War? Afghanistan , Yugoslavia, Iran and Iraq war and etc.
These were small, isolated wars that did not change the world order and did not generate massive unrest in global commodity prices.
Absolutely incomparable wars with the 2nd World War or the current war in Russia or a hypothetical war with China.
Yuval omits the Russian DEFINITION of Nazis. This has nothing to do with WW2. It is solely defined as people who continue to believe that Ukraine exists as a sovereign state and is NOT just a part of Russia. Listen to Yale historian, Timothy Snyder, who says that Russia has been calling Ukrainians Nazis for 90 years.
Russia's definition of nazism is anti-slavism, which it was, and since Russia defines its self as the great slavic super power, attacking Russia is according to many russians attacking every slav, which isn't true I agree. But saying that early russian nationalist defined ukrainian nationalists as nazies is a bit far fetched. Mostly because nazism didn't exist in the late 19th and early 20th century.
