Yeah, quite the discrepancy. Of course, American pollsters wouldn't want to upset the apple cart, either. The questions posed were obviously different?

Well, Zelenskyy for one — The Right Sector and the other Nazi battalions are another. It's clear that the Ukrainian masses are finished, when the present Ukrainian government has to press-gang men into the Ukrainian military. Now the government is trying to force the Ukrainians who fled to Germany and other European countries to be conscripted into the military. It'll be interesting if the Europeans go along with it. If they don't have valid legal documents from the Ukrainian government, they will be in Europe illegally. So it'll be interesting to watch and see what develops there.

But it’s peppered with Fox News takes throughout, and that’s no way to support any serious analysis. So I’m adding to the down votes.

Are you a fucking idiot? They're takes of what American officials are saying and giving the Professor the chance at a rebuttal. Are you not aware that this man is one of the world's leading experts on nuclear weapons?! FFS, too many idiots here that know shit and think they're critical thinkers. Watch the entire thing, dumbass!

Its sad. His death will achieve nothing.

Probably not, but at least we're talking about it. 😁

Thank-you. It's refreshing to hear someone so positive. 🙏

What a waste of a life.

Definitely a courageous thing to do (I couldn't do it). Most of the population in Jordan are Palestinian.

To be completely fair I can’t think of any politician or group vying for political power that isn’t corrupt to some degree.

Hi! Maybe you could define what you mean by corruption, (when saying that every politico is corrupt to some degree)?

The fact that you are posting “analysis” from a man who attempted to cover up Assad’s literal gassing of children is disgusting and unserious.

The fact that you believe that Assad gassed those children shows you're not serious. That was debunked entirely as propaganda by the White Helmets, who themselves are a propaganda entity created by the US and whom are themselves terrorists. I've got much documentation on the Fake Chemical Attacks. Man, you're a naive person!

Fuck Israel, but Aaron mate is a grey zone hack and Assad apologist tankie. Fuck him.

He's a superb Canadian Investigative Reporter. Your language is inappropriate for this sub.

Yes education does give people abase for learning how to fact check, but anyone (including you) can learn.

Oh, I have a degree, but that was long ago. Education doesn't mean one is bright, Obviously not, you're responding showing how little you know because nothing you say is substantive.

Some of the information I provide is based on my experience and are opinion, but they're facts in the sense that I know they're true, (I don't carry around numerous links to verify everything I post), One either believes me or doesn't. And if you don't, what in the hell are doing here reading/watching? And don't give me the Bullshit line that you're just trying to help others! You'd do well to read some of the facts I've posted instead of jury picking something that is my opinion but based on fact because of my experience. I'm not lying to you, I've posted many articles from world experts in their respective fields, which are opinion but what is considered 'Educated Opinion'. I deal in the real world — I don't want war because it will be serious for mankind, and the idiots in our government and in the rest of NATO that don't know what in the hell they're doing in terms of Russia and China and foreign policy! We're closer to total annihilation than ever in our history, and that includes the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962!

I can see you're classically educated, but don't seem to be able to adapt to the new way news is distributed. One simply cannot believe any MSM today when it comes to foreign affairs. They don't practice journalism anymore, are simple stenographers, regurgitating what they're told to write. You're fundamentally wrong about what I post because it's accurate, and I've been to many of these places. I mentioned some weeks ago that I spent 10 years in an Intelligence service (no not in Canada) so I know good sources of information when come across. My 30 years as a soldier abroad also helped clue me in to the lies we're told at home in the media. The United States, Europe and to a certain extent, Canada have turned into Authoritarian states, whilst Russia is freer and more democratic than we are. You don't get censored over there to the degree we are here, if one speaks speech that isn't accepted by the tribe — like I've been doing. Folks here just don't like the facts if it doesn't align with their belief! For example, Ukraine is good, Israel is bad, when they're both douches! I just can't believe the stupidity of Canadians believing that Ukraine is Democratic, and we're supporting the good fight. I just hope it doesn't take a nuclear exchange to prove what I've been saying all along—Because we're very close to a world war, and this time North America won't be safe. I don't know your age, but if this happens, then conscription won't be an option. Are you prepared to go to war to fight Russia and China?!

Actually, I think the big story they've missed is the bull shit on Ukraine the media is responsible for disseminating. I find it amazing that often thoughtful, intelligent, people fall for the big lie.

If roles were reversed, I don’t think Hamas would have hesitated to flatten the Gaza by now.

O for Christ's sake! Stop this kind of nonsense! Where did you get the 1K figure from? I doubt it is accurate. It's verifiable that most of the dead on October 7 were killed by the Israeli Defence Forces, using the 'Hannibal' doctrine. Look it up if you're unfamiliar with that term. The operation was planned by Hamas to kill soldiers and capture soldiers and civilians for hostage purposes. They do this to get the many thousands that are imprisoned by Israel without trial or charge, back!

So the Russian MoD isn't a credible source? The American MoD? The US Government? A professor who has spent his life studying Ukraine and its political situation? Did you trust the NYT and the Washington Post? I surely don't when it comes to political news, especially foreign. I find it amusing that you're lecturing me on this, as I post nothing but credible sources, even if I don't name them at the time. You just have a problem dealing with a true narrative compared to the B$ we've been fed by our mainstream media.

Hamas is corrupt, and a nasty organization in many ways, but if it wasn’t them taking up arms, it’d be another group and I don’t feel comfortable condemning a resistance group from my cozy western privileged life.

If you want to label an organization corrupt — That would be the Palestinian Authority! Hamas is a democratically elected government. No one in Gaza trusts the Palestinian Authority (Fatah), they represent the colonists' POV.

So you just go around posting Russian propaganda every day. How very subtle comrade

Why do you call it propaganda? List your critiques! Your statement just shows your lack of understanding. I also post Palestinian “propaganda” too — Are you against that too? Anti-colonialism too?

Russia isn’t our enemy but it’s leadership is, ask any Ukrainian 🤡

No, they aren't — Why do you assume they are? Ask any Ukrainian? How about the ethnic Russian Ukrainians who have been shelled by their government since 2014? And the Ukrainian goverment aren't shelling military installations but civilian areas. You have no clue what's going on there, and that's what yours truly is trying to fix. The Russian Federation isn't the Soviet state and it isn't communist. One could argue that their elections are fairer than ours — IF one takes an objective look. I don't care if he was convicted, (the government has had him on their radar since the 1st Gulf War). I wouldn't assume that it wasn't a setup to discredit him. Knowing how Intelligence Agencies work — it's not difficult to believe. Anyway, I'm not glorifying him, but his message, which is on point. Why don't you debate what the article is about?

No. You should watch if you want to have some knowledge from people that worked behind the scenes in foreign policy. Colonel Wilkerson is one such man, who has been at the seat of power in Washington.
