Palestine is the most well-documented genocide in history, yet the most denied.

Don’t stop talking about Gaza

NATO Endangers Security Of The Whole World | German Parliamentarian Sevim Dagdelen

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E0zVrGzcyw)

Sevim Dagdelen is a member of the German Bundestag (Parliament) and member of Sarah Wagenknecht’s new party (BSW). In her newest work, Sevim Dagdalen explains why NATO is not only in an existential crisis, but is about to drag Europe and maybe even the entire world into a catastrophic war if its members to not change course.

[Music]

0:12

not than

0:27

San D see

0:31

Miss dlin nice to have you here on April

0:34

4th the champagne corks were popping

0:37

probably even more so in Brussels at the

0:39

NATO headquarters there was chocolate

0:41

cake and later at the sasor which is the

0:44

NATO Supreme Allied Commander there was

0:46

a Galla dinner with Specialties from all

0:48

NATO member countries so from the

0:51

outside it looked like a successful

0:53

birthday party you have now also decided

0:56

to contribute something to this NATO

0:58

birthday however it seems to be less of

1:00

a eulogy and more of a settling of

1:02

scores with the alliance of

1:04

values that sounds quite harsh at first

1:07

does the old lady NATO really deserves

1:09

such a reckoning on her

1:14

75th

1:17

yeah yes first of all it must be said

1:20

that 75 years of NATO especially as an

1:22

organization could be a reason to

1:25

celebrate however I would say that NATO

1:27

is in a really difficult if not

1:29

existential Cris crisis it faces very

1:32

big challenges due to its policy of

1:34

expansion and

1:35

escalation by expansion I mean the

1:38

geographical extension towards Asia it’s

1:41

not just about the North Atlantic

1:42

anymore so the North Atlantic Treaty but

1:44

NATO is also expanding towards the Indo

1:46

Pacific so we are dealing with an

1:49

overstretching of NATO at the same time

1:53

it increasingly relies on escalation and

1:56

brings us to the brink of a third world

1:58

war this happens for example through the

2:00

proxy war against Russia in Ukraine

2:03

where there is a Reliance on the use of

2:05

ever heavier weapons it’s not just about

2:07

helmets or bulletproof vests or tanks

2:10

anymore but also about demands for the

2:12

deployment of their own troops the

2:14

French President recently said that NATO

2:16

is brain dead I would say it’s not just

2:20

brain dead but has completely missed its

2:22

purpose has outlived itself as a relic

2:25

of the Cold War and endangers the

2:27

security of the world and all

2:29

populations

2:30

that’s why of course I sat down to take

2:32

a closer look at NATO on its 75th

2:34

Anniversary given the challenges and

2:36

crises it faces NATO increasingly relies

2:39

on myths to legitimize itself these

2:41

myths include the self-perception as a

2:44

defense Alliance as an alliance of

2:46

values as an alliance of democracies

2:48

that rely on the rule of law and human

2:53

[Music]

2:57

rights but let’s stick to democracy at

3:00

least from the outside looking in I

3:02

would say that as far as I can see

3:04

indeed all member states are at least

3:06

formally representative democracies and

3:08

also have a somewhat functioning rule of

3:10

law so where does your criticism begin

3:13

you say that’s all not true that is as

3:16

you said a pure myth this aspect of

3:18

democracy human rights Freedom which is

3:21

also manifested in the founding Charter

3:24

where do you see the

3:28

discrepancy yeah

3:32

yes NATO was founded in 1949 with the

3:35

USA and Canada as well as other European

3:38

countries at the Forefront one of these

3:40

countries was Portugal under the fascist

3:42

dictator Salazar he ruled until the

3:45

Carnation revolution in

3:47

1974 and it was not a problem that he

3:49

was a fascist dictator who left a trail

3:51

of blood through Africa with his

3:53

colonialist policy and relied on

3:56

repression and Terror against opponents

3:58

and leftists domestically

4:00

in my opinion this represents a blatant

4:03

contradiction to NATO’s self-image which

4:06

claims to have always been an alliance

4:07

of democracies and constitutional States

4:11

at the same time it was also not a

4:12

problem to conclude military agreements

4:14

through NATO’s leading power the USA

4:17

with the fascist Spanish dictator Franco

4:20

or take turkey which is still a member

4:23

of NATO today and experienced several

4:25

military coups in the 1980s during which

4:28

hundreds of thousands were imprisoned

4:30

for their political activities because

4:32

they were for example leftists or trade

4:34

unionists this was also not a problem

4:37

although it was a military

4:39

dictatorship the same applies to the

4:41

military coup in Greece here too one can

4:43

hardly speak of democracy or the rule of

4:54

law and that was never a problem for

4:57

NATO and it still isn’t to this day

5:00

for example it is known that turkey

5:03

under President erdogan has supplied

5:05

islamist organizations such as Isis

5:07

Al-Qaeda or alar al-sham with weapons in

5:10

the war against Assad’s regime in Syria

5:13

NATO has no problem with islamist

5:15

terrorist organizations being supported

5:17

by its member states by serving in these

5:19

countries as staging and Retreat areas

5:22

being cared for in hospitals when they

5:24

are injured or being equipped with

5:26

weapons possibly even with weapons from

5:28

other NATO countries like the Federal

5:30

Republic of Germany it is important to

5:33

dispel these myths of NATO NATO was

5:36

never an alliance of democracies and

5:38

constitutional States this is evident

5:40

today as well the leading power of NATO

5:43

the USA acts internationally at its own

5:46

discretion it has attacked countries

5:49

worldwide violating international law as

5:51

in the invasion of Iraq under a

5:53

coalition of the Willing in the last 20

5:56

years the USA in the so-called war on

5:58

terror is responsible for over 4.5

6:01

million deaths as studies from the

6:03

prestigious Brown University in Rhode

6:05

Island USA show this can hardly be

6:08

described as a policy of respecting

6:10

human rights or

6:19

democracy perhaps to stay on the topic

6:21

of the rule of law in this attempt to

6:24

deconstruct the NATO myths you also

6:26

refer to Julian Assange as a prisoner of

6:28

NATO is it really Justified to directly

6:31

address NATO’s role in this way I mean

6:34

the main responsible parties are

6:36

actually the USA and Great Britain from

6:39

this to conclude that one can actually

6:41

describe Assange as a prisoner of NATO

6:44

how would you see

6:46

[Music]

6:52

that so first of all regarding the

6:55

self-perception of NATO you say yes the

6:58

principle of one for all all for one

6:59

applies This Means A Part stands for the

7:02

whole and the whole for a part it

7:05

follows that we can all be held liable

7:07

together the persecution of Julian

7:09

Assange a journalist who made public us

7:12

war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan has

7:15

led to him being deprived of his freedom

7:17

for 12 years now for 5 years he has been

7:20

in a high security prison in Great

7:22

Britain and in the USA he faces 175

7:25

years in prison which is essentially

7:27

equivalent to a death sentence and all

7:29

because he made war crimes public for

7:31

which there has been no atonement to

7:33

this day they remain unpunished the

7:36

responsible parties like the US war

7:38

criminal George W bush or Tony Blair

7:40

from Great Britain live freely in their

7:43

Villas Julian Assange on the other hand

7:46

who exposed the war crimes for which

7:47

they are ultimately responsible sits in

7:51

captivity of course it is true that the

7:53

USA represents the leading power within

7:55

NATO thus one can equate NATO with the

7:58

USA

8:06

is she is the power that ultimately uses

8:09

NATO as a geopolitical instrument NATO

8:12

has been an instrument of the USA since

8:15

its Inception the model for this was the

8:17

interamerican treaty the Pax Americana

8:20

to secure the West as a sphere of

8:22

influence for the USA and to create the

8:24

instrument NATO for this

8:26

purpose in fact it may be that NATO

8:28

member countries give up their

8:30

sovereignty by becoming members of NATO

8:33

they Place themselves under the

8:34

leadership of the USA therefore what the

8:37

leading power of the USA does such as

8:39

the violation of international law in

8:41

Iraq or the political persecution of the

8:43

journalist Julian Assange is also

8:46

attributable to the entire

8:48

NATO especially since none of the NATO

8:51

member states has publicly criticized

8:53

the

8:54

USA the NATO council did not even meet

8:56

to criticize the invasion of Iraq it was

8:58

not a topic at all on the contrary it

9:01

was quasi also supported although

9:03

officially not a member of the Coalition

9:05

of the Willing in the Iraq War for

9:07

example overflight rights were granted

9:10

and the use of military bases also on

9:12

German soil was

9:22

allowed in my opinion it is legitimate

9:24

and Justified to attribute the actions

9:26

of the USA to the other NATO member

9:28

states as well

9:31

I would like to address another Point

9:33

namely the myths of NATO a major myth is

9:36

that NATO is a defense Alliance on the

9:38

75th anniversary of NATO we also

9:41

remember the 25th anniversary of NATO’s

9:43

war of aggression against the Federal

9:45

Republic of

9:47

Yugoslavia this war was a clear

9:49

violation of the UN Charter’s

9:50

prohibition of force as there was no

9:52

resolution from the UN Security Council

9:56

the former German Chancellor ghard

9:57

Schroeder has publicly aded that he had

10:00

no mandate for the attack during which

10:02

among other things television stations

10:04

in Serbia in Belgrade were bombed and

10:07

the Chinese Embassy was allegedly hit by

10:10

mistake since this attack on Yugoslavia

10:13

and later missions such as in

10:15

Afghanistan or the regime change war in

10:17

2011 in Libya it is evident that NATO is

10:20

an alliance for

10:28

Warfare perhaps perhaps we should

10:29

briefly revisit the role of the USA

10:32

within

10:33

NATO you also described this

10:35

constellation as an Empire with its

10:37

vassels there is a well-known quote by

10:40

Lionel Isme the first NATO Secretary

10:42

General he said that NATO was founded to

10:45

keep the Germans down the Russians out

10:48

and the Americans in would you say that

10:50

this assessment of NATO’s founding still

10:52

holds true today or have there been

10:54

changes in NATO’s function in this

10:56

regard

11:03

well the goal or the purpose that Isme

11:06

formulated back then has been fulfilled

11:09

if one looks at the development of the

11:10

last few decades after the end of the

11:12

Cold War one is reminded of the charter

11:14

of Paris in which a new European

11:17

security order a common European house

11:19

was advocated the idea was also to

11:22

realize this together with the successor

11:24

state of the Soviet Union that is

11:26

Russia however the situation looks very

11:29

different today NATO despite the

11:32

promises it made has continued to extend

11:34

its presence towards Russia most

11:37

recently with the inclusion of Finland

11:39

and Sweden the fact is that for example

11:42

the Federal Republic of Germany is

11:44

harming itself through the economic war

11:46

against Russia due to the war in Ukraine

11:49

Germany has been subdued as a competitor

11:51

so to speak the USA has kept Russia out

11:54

and at the same time dangerously renewed

11:57

itself by focusing more on rearmament

11:59

and on this expansion as well as on

12:02

escalation in this respect all of this

12:04

has proven true up to

12:09

[Music]

12:11

today yes to come back to the expansion

12:15

I found that quite fascinating in the

12:16

book as well because I hadn’t really

12:19

reflected on it myself until now there

12:22

you draw a parallel between NATO’s

12:24

Eastward expansion and the relative

12:26

complete ignorance of Russian security

12:28

interests and the pivot to Asia the same

12:31

thing is happening under similar

12:33

conditions with China here it’s not

12:35

about memberships but about partnership

12:38

agreements yet China is being

12:40

increasingly cornered without regard for

12:42

their security interests at least that’s

12:44

the argument in your book I’m interested

12:47

in your assessment is this Western

12:49

hubris or actually a deliberate

12:51

provocation in both

12:53

directions this complete or pretty

12:56

complete ignoring of the security

12:58

interests of Global actors like Russia

13:01

and

13:07

China I believe it is inherent to the

13:10

system so this focus on escalation and

13:13

expansion it is not a peace Alliance not

13:16

a security Alliance it is not an

13:18

alliance that wants to create security

13:20

but it increasingly endangers

13:22

security with more and more Armament and

13:24

militarization also at the expense of

13:27

the social issue in NATO member states

13:29

it endangers peace both externally and

13:32

internally I think that it is definitely

13:34

a system that functions as a War

13:36

Alliance and which is supposed to stop

13:38

the decline of the heiman USA it serves

13:42

exactly this purpose and it’s not just

13:44

about partnership agreements or military

13:46

agreements parallel to NATO’s Eastern

13:49

expansion it continues in the same way

13:52

the former Supreme Allied Commander of

13:54

NATO stus even advocates for the

13:56

membership of individual countries with

13:59

which one tries in the indopacific

14:00

region such as Japan South Korea

14:03

Australia or New Zealand to advance this

14:05

encirclement of China by

14:15

NATO he is indeed advocating for the

14:17

active membership of these countries in

14:19

NATO the discussion goes far beyond just

14:22

agreements with Partners representing

14:24

nato in the indopacific region or

14:26

opening a door for NATO there are o

14:29

discussions about in liaison office in

14:31

Japan that NATO wants to open the

14:34

expansion into Asia is progressing

14:35

because there is increasingly a

14:37

declaration of hostility towards China

14:40

China’s growth rise and cooperation with

14:43

other countries as well as its weight in

14:45

international diplomacy are increasing

14:48

this is not seen as a potential gain or

14:50

progress that could be mutually

14:52

beneficial instead the USA sees this as

14:55

a threat to their Global hegemony and

14:58

therefore opts for confrontation the

15:00

danger is great that NATO will be drawn

15:02

into this confrontation as a

15:04

geopolitical instrument of the USA with

15:07

Germany participating in

15:15

it since we’re on the topic of

15:18

confrontations a world region we haven’t

15:20

yet focused on but which is also

15:22

addressed in your book is the current

15:24

conflict in Gaza I believe it’s almost

15:28

impossible to a war

15:30

anymore now you were also in the ha for

15:32

the hearing of Nicaragua’s complaint

15:34

against the Federal Republic of Germany

15:37

moving a bit away from the book but I

15:39

find this to be a very interesting

15:40

aspect as well how did you perceive this

15:51

hearing yes I found it remarkable that I

15:53

was actually the only parliamentarian

15:56

there I don’t think it’s every day that

15:58

the Federal Republic of Germany is

16:01

accused of aiding and abetting genocide

16:03

before the highest court in the world

16:05

namely the international court of

16:06

justice it must be said this is the

16:08

highest appell at court therefore I was

16:12

quite astonished that there was so

16:13

little interest or actually no interest

16:15

at all from deputies including

16:19

colleagues from other parties in

16:21

participating in this historic

16:23

trial the first day was the day of the

16:26

accusation by

16:27

Nicaragua charges state that the Federal

16:30

Republic of Germany has not fulfilled

16:32

its obligations under the genocide

16:34

convention namely to do everything to

16:36

prevent a genocide that means not to do

16:39

or omit anything that could facilitate a

16:42

genocide the complaint states that the

16:44

delivery of weapons of excessive arms

16:47

shipments to Israel by the Federal

16:48

Republic of Germany leads to a plausible

16:50

risk of genocide and alleged violations

16:53

of humanitarian international law by

16:55

Israel with these weapons are

16:57

facilitated this is the accusation that

17:00

the Federal Republic of Germany assists

17:02

and facilitates

17:08

[Music]

17:11

this and interestingly Nicaragua’s

17:14

lawsuit is based on parliamentary

17:16

inquiries by the alliance around Sahara

17:18

wagen neck in the German

17:20

bundist in these inquiries we have

17:22

worked out the numbers and facts

17:24

regarding the excessive arms deliveries

17:26

by Germany to Israel despite truly

17:29

terrible events in the last weeks and

17:31

months of course Israel has the right to

17:34

self-defense like any other country that

17:36

is attacked but what we have been seeing

17:39

and experiencing for weeks and months

17:41

has nothing to do with self-defense

17:43

anymore it is a vendetta marked by war

17:46

crimes therefore it is naturally also an

17:48

indirect participation in war crimes if

17:51

one continues to supply weapons to this

17:53

country on the day of Defense Germany

17:56

presented itself in a way that I found

17:57

to be presumptuous ignorant and arrogant

18:01

in summary it can be said that Germany

18:03

argued that it could not Aid and abet a

18:06

genocide that has not yet been

18:08

determined so they presuppose the

18:10

genocide to consider a lawsuit for

18:12

complicity as possible at

18:22

all and this is of course a complete

18:24

reversal of the genocide convention one

18:27

should do everything possible to

18:29

preventive it’s about the prevention of

18:31

genocide this arrogance was also very

18:34

tangible accusing Nicaragua of having

18:36

the audacity to sue the Federal Republic

18:38

of Germany Germany provides so much

18:41

humanitarian Aid

18:42

internationally and has learned from

18:44

history from the Holocaust and has

18:47

committed itself to international law

18:49

how can anyone Sue Germany so they

18:51

didn’t even address Nicaragua’s specific

18:54

arguments but instead took a moral High

18:56

Ground as we recognize in the foreign

18:59

policy of the Federal Republic of

19:00

Germany especially under the current

19:03

foreign minister in summary one must say

19:06

that ignorance and arrogance Prevail

19:09

against this lawsuit and I find the

19:11

federal government’s argumentation to be

19:13

not very credible in terms of genocide a

19:16

determination would have to be made

19:18

first in order to be able to provide

19:20

assistance or violate the genocide

19:22

convention thirdly I believe that it has

19:25

been enormously damaging to Germany’s

19:28

reputation to be sitting in the dock at

19:30

all and to continue to hold on to these

19:32

murderous arms deliveries to Israel

19:35

despite the atrocities we see every day

19:37

in

19:40

[Music]

19:44

Gaza this is indeed a topic in its own

19:47

right namely the loss of reputation of

19:49

German foreign policy which is

19:51

noticeable worldwide whether you talk to

19:53

diplomats from the Middle East or Latin

19:55

America to briefly return to Nicaragua

19:58

something that also caught my attention

20:01

since you just mentioned this arrogance

20:03

it is often forgotten that Nicaragua

20:05

sued the USA before the same court in

20:08

1984 and the verdict was delivered in

20:11

1986

20:12

true and there was a similarly arrogant

20:15

attitude from the USA which ultimately

20:18

had to suffer a clear defeat even though

20:20

they did not comply with the judgment

20:29

nicar the plaintiff from Nicaragua was

20:31

also the one who filed the lawsuit

20:32

against the USA at the international

20:35

court of justice in

20:37

1984 it may be that the federal

20:39

government shows a mix of composure

20:41

ignorance and arrogance externally but

20:44

internally fears being held accountable

20:46

as the allegations are very

20:49

substantial similarly with the lawsuit

20:51

of South Africa against Israel for

20:53

genocide where the international court

20:55

of justice recognized plausible risks of

20:58

genocide in Gaza in a preliminary

21:00

decision on January

21:02

26th subsequently the court asked Israel

21:05

to take explicit protective measures for

21:08

the civilian population in Gaza this

21:11

shows that the argumentation of the

21:12

federal government stands on very shaky

21:15

ground as the court already saw a

21:17

plausible risk of genocide on January

21:19

26th and demanded corresponding

21:21

protective measures therefore I am

21:24

curious about what the international

21:26

court of justice will announce in the

21:28

coming

21:36

weeks let’s return once again to the

21:38

starting point and the future of NATO

21:41

the average life expectancy in the USA

21:43

the main actor of NATO is currently

21:45

under 80 years how high do you estimate

21:48

the life expectancy of NATO as an

21:50

institution

21:57

[Music]

21:58

I think it has survived far too long

22:00

already since the end of the Cold War it

22:03

should have been dissolved in my opinion

22:06

we urgently need a moratorium the

22:08

expansion of NATO Must Be Stopped if one

22:11

actually wants to establish security and

22:13

not further endanger World Peace we

22:16

absolutely must return to international

22:18

law and pursue a policy of disengagement

22:21

as developed by the former top us

22:22

Diplomat George Kennan he suggested

22:25

untangling the military blocks and

22:27

ending the block confr

22:29

in my opinion this is of the utmost

22:32

importance I wish for a security order

22:34

in Europe that enables a sovereign and

22:36

confident policy in the interest of the

22:39

people and the majority of the

22:40

populations in Europe including the

22:43

Germans we should not become a client

22:45

state within an organization that only

22:47

serves to fulfill the interests of the

22:53

USA I thank you thank you very much

oooooo

BRAVE German MP Destroys NATO Lies Publicly! | Sevim Dagdelen

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT3HtG_LKjg)

[Part 1 of 2] In her latest book, Sevim Dagdelen, a member of the Bundestag (German Parliament) not only dispels the myths of NATO but also explains why Germany needs more “courage for neutrality” to resist Washington’s dictates and pursue an independent foreign policy that is focused on Germany’s welfare. The war in Ukraine must be ended as quickly as possible through negotiations, not prolonged with more weapons and further escalation. The desire of the warmongers to spread this tragedy across all of Europe must be stopped!

Transkripzioa:

0:04

unfortunately many other parties and

0:06

politicians have obviously completely

0:08

lost a fundamental characteristic of our

0:10

basic law namely the peace mandate that

0:13

is enshrined in our

0:15

constitution this peace mandate emerged

0:17

after World War II primarily because

0:19

Germany was meant to be a peace power

0:22

Germany was supposed to be perceived

0:23

worldwide as a peace actor War should

0:26

never again emanate from German soil and

0:29

War weapon orts should never again come

0:31

from German soil with which Wars and

0:34

human rights violations are committed as

0:36

is currently the case in Gaza by Israel

0:39

also with the help of German arms

0:42

exports all this actually mandates being

0:44

neutral and advocating for an

0:46

independent Sovereign foreign and

0:48

security policy based on the interests

0:50

of democratic sovereignty and the

0:52

majority of the population and not of

0:55

any corporations or the military

0:57

industrial complex

1:00

milit indust

1:02

[Music]

1:11

complex hello everyone here I am once

1:14

again speaking in German because today I

1:16

have the great pleasure and honor of

1:18

speaking with one of Germany’s most

1:19

famous and Powerful

1:22

parliamentarians I have with me Miss

1:24

seim dardan who has represented her

1:27

constituency of North Rin West failure

1:28

in the bundestag since 2005 formerly for

1:32

the party Dinka and for the past few

1:34

months for the newly founded party bnes

1:36

Sarah

1:38

varen incidentally Miss dellan is also

1:42

the spokesperson for foreign policy for

1:44

the new party recently Miss dardan also

1:47

released a great book titled NATO a

1:50

Reckoning with the alliance of values

1:53

you can imagine how much joy this

1:54

reading has brought me today we want to

1:57

talk about her critique and Analysis of

1:59

NATO Miss Dellin welcome to neutrality

2:02

studiesin has of neutrality studies yeah

2:06

yes thank you very much for the

2:11

invitation well miss dellan you

2:14

beautifully write at the end of your

2:15

book that the pursuit of alternatives to

2:18

Nato is resistance against a World War

2:20

policy we need peace instead of NATO why

2:24

did you write this NATO critical book

2:26

now and could you briefly present the

2:28

main thesis of the book

2:38

yes very gladly so why I wrote it we are

2:42

witnessing a NATO that seems to be at

2:44

the peak of its power namely on its 75th

2:46

Anniversary it relies on escalation when

2:48

you analyze what NATO is

2:50

doing keyword proxy war against Russia

2:54

in Ukraine complicity with Israel in

2:56

this murderous war in the Gaza Strip

2:58

against the Palestinian population

3:00

or the expansion towards Asia with a

3:02

global claim to power far removed from a

3:04

territorial restriction to the North

3:06

Atlantic

3:10

[Music]

3:14

are and we must acknowledge that this

3:17

NATO which was completely renewed after

3:19

the cold war is dangerous and is pushing

3:21

us to the brink of a third world war

3:23

like never before we can also see this

3:25

in the current debates for this policy

3:28

of escalation an expansion NATO needs

3:32

myths Legends and fairy

3:34

tales the great myths of NATO are that

3:37

it is a defensive Alliance an alliance

3:39

of democracies and rule of law and an

3:41

alliance for the respect of Human Rights

3:43

and

3:46

[Music]

3:52

values and I believe that the

3:54

prerequisite for seeing reality is to

3:56

deal with these myths to put the myths

3:59

to the test

4:00

this is the prerequisite for having a

4:02

realistic view of the military pact

4:04

which is nothing more than a war pact

4:07

consequently we must initiate the Urgent

4:09

discussion what do we need instead we

4:12

need peace instead of NATO how can we

4:15

establish peace and common Security in

4:17

the world this book is intended to serve

4:19

that purpose it offers a realistic

4:21

assessment and Analysis of NATO why was

4:24

it founded what are the big myths what

4:26

drives NATO and then of course the leap

4:28

to Asia the expansion of NATO and

4:31

finally the

4:39

Outlook NATO is constantly expanding but

4:43

one place it hasn’t expanded is Russia

4:45

we know that Russia has knocked more

4:47

than once and asked if it could join

4:49

when the Cold War ended how do you

4:52

explain that NATO seems to constantly

4:53

need an enemy

5:04

and one simply has to look at the

5:06

founding of NATO NATO was founded in

5:08

1949 by 12 States led by the USA the

5:12

predecessor of this North Atlantic

5:14

Treaty was the OAS treaty the Treaty of

5:16

the organization of American states from

5:19

the very beginning especially during the

5:21

founding phase During the period a

5:24

period of systemic confrontation with

5:26

the Soviet Union it was essentially

5:28

always about establishing a Pax

5:30

Americana that is creating an exclusive

5:33

sphere of influence for the USA this

5:35

actually stands in contradiction to

5:37

Russia as the successor state of the

5:39

Soviet Union after the end of the Cold

5:42

War the European States together with

5:45

Canada and the USA contractually

5:47

committed themselves in the charter of

5:49

Paris to establish a common peace and

5:51

security order a common comprehensive

5:54

and inclusive house in Europe

6:04

but instead of establishing this common

6:06

peace and security order further

6:08

confrontations and escalations were

6:11

provoked contrary to promises not to

6:13

expand an inch not a centimeter to the

6:15

east the military Alliance has advanced

6:18

its expansion to the borders of Russia

6:20

Today NATO as in 1949 serves as an

6:23

instrument of the unchallenged leading

6:25

power the USA to enforce pursue promote

6:28

and Safeguard it strategic and security

6:31

interests that was the intention from

6:33

the beginning I’m talking about Pax

6:36

Americana an exclusive sphere of

6:38

influence of the USA it remains so to

6:40

this day and NATO is still intended to

6:43

serve to maintain the USA as the world

6:45

hegemon therefore deterrence Armament

6:48

and confrontation are relied upon

7:00

anyone who argues like you and I argue

7:02

the same way is usually accused of being

7:05

Putin puppets Pro Russian or Borton paid

7:07

for and that we are getting money for it

7:10

how do you explain this narrative

7:12

especially in Germany it is extremely

7:15

strong is it really as Mr stoltenberg

7:17

once said that weapons are the way to

7:19

peace and no one notices that this is

7:22

madness why do so few people in Germany

7:24

noticed this

7:35

yes I also address this in my book

7:37

particularly in a chapter about

7:38

disinformation and NATO’s cognitive

7:41

Warfare It’s about how NATO aims to win

7:43

Wars not only on the battlefield but

7:45

also in people’s minds propaganda plays

7:48

an important role in this if you talk to

7:50

a three or four-year-old child they will

7:52

logically respond that weapons do not

7:55

bring peace weapons lead to more death

7:58

more destruction and fuel

8:07

Wars and that is the opposite of Peace

8:10

therefore it is all the more necessary

8:12

to conduct propaganda that explains to

8:14

people that war is the same as peace and

8:17

that weapons are diplomatic peace tools

8:20

instead of saying that they are murder

8:23

tools we know this like in a

8:26

totalitarian state the opposition is

8:28

fought by the mream media by suspecting

8:31

them of collaborating With the Enemy

8:32

there are many journalists in Germany

8:34

who now label anyone who is even

8:36

remotely against sending weapons into an

8:38

ongoing war and instead advocates for

8:41

negotiations as Putin friends Kremlin

8:43

agents or

8:53

similar and I think this is very

8:55

transparent propaganda that this is

8:57

always a part of War propaganda is is

8:59

known from the 1920s and 1930s of the

9:02

last century back then people who

9:05

opposed the first world war were also

9:07

defamed it was about countering the

9:09

supposed Social Democratic left

9:11

narrative they claimed that one had to

9:13

stand up against the barbarism of

9:15

tsarism in Russia

9:18

Today the Russian president is equated

9:21

with Hitler to silence or denounce any

9:23

criticism we really know this from

9:25

history and one should not be

9:27

intimidated by it

9:33

[Music]

9:36

it is clear that these parties and

9:39

partly the mainstream press are pushing

9:40

for another War for an escalation for

9:43

direct German involvement in the war

9:45

against Russia and we should not let

9:48

this drive us crazy we will be proven

9:50

right just as we were for example for 20

9:53

years in the war against

9:55

Afghanistan when the war against

9:57

Afghanistan started there was again a

9:58

barrage propaganda of War propaganda it

10:02

was about the barbarity of the Taliban

10:04

it was about building Wells it was about

10:06

sending girls back to school it was

10:09

about defending Germany’s security and

10:10

freedom in the Hindu Kush and when we

10:13

said over 20 years ago that this war was

10:15

wrong we were proven right you cannot

10:19

win a war against

10:27

Terror you cannot win a war against

10:30

Terror it is completely absurd and

10:32

contemptible to want to export democracy

10:35

to other countries against the will of

10:37

the

10:37

population they have made us

10:39

contemptible by claiming that we would

10:41

side with the Taliban and are not

10:43

humanitarians they say we are against

10:46

humanitarian

10:47

interventions I think one should really

10:49

not be

10:50

intimidated peace still means the

10:53

absence of War weapons and instruments

10:55

of murder Wars are promoted by arms

10:57

exports and arms deliveries not by

10:59

diplomatic negotiations which we

11:01

advocate in this respect we should not

11:04

be deterred but insist that we want to

11:06

create peace without

11:16

weapons how did you personally manage

11:18

not to get drawn into this Vortex we

11:21

have seen it with the greens and the SPD

11:23

who were actually once against NATO

11:25

today I slowly get the feeling that the

11:28

greenest thing about the greens is still

11:30

the color of the uniform but even that

11:32

has become quite dark olive green how is

11:36

it with you you are first with the left

11:38

and are now with the alliance SAR

11:41

vagen how many people in the bundestag

11:43

are against this war policy of the

11:53

majority well one must say from the

11:55

party’s perspective there is only the

11:57

Sarah wagon connect Alliance that is is

11:59

consistently against this toxic mix of

12:01

arms deliveries and economic Warfare

12:04

through sanctions it advocates for an

12:06

unconditional ceasefire whether in Gaza

12:09

or in Ukraine and for negotiations

12:12

compromise Solutions and diplomatic

12:14

Solutions we are truly the only ones in

12:17

this regard because it also goes hand

12:20

inand with social

12:28

cutbacks so the entire rearmament policy

12:30

and the proxy wars of NATO primarily

12:33

serve to enforce the interests of the

12:35

USA one could use the term client states

12:38

from the Roman Empire which fight these

12:40

wars for the USA these wars are of

12:43

course also directed Inward and are

12:45

accompanied by Massive Cuts in the

12:46

social sector I would like to mention

12:49

another example besides Germany Italy

12:52

there there was a real wage loss of 3.6

12:54

to 3.8% in the Years 2022 and 2023 by 2

12:59

.1% unemployed individuals single

13:02

unemployed individuals and young people

13:04

up to the age of 59 have now experienced

13:07

Cuts in social assistance

13:15

[Music]

13:17

there you only receive around 250 or 350

13:22

instead of

13:23

780 and that only for 12 months the

13:26

entire rearmament policy in Europe is

13:28

fin financed with war credits this

13:31

results in budget deficits that are

13:32

tackled with cuts in the social sector

13:35

the health sector and the education

13:37

sector just like in Germany the only

13:39

alliance against this toxic mix is Sarah

13:41

vagen kns we have the afd on the right

13:45

side of the Arena presenting itself as a

13:47

peace party but the afd is not against

13:50

rearmament quite the opposite the afd is

13:52

a party for militarism and for Capital

14:01

you support the 100 billion Euro special

14:04

debt for the bundes fair and have said

14:05

that it is even too little for you it

14:08

could be significantly more you support

14:11

that Germany last year allocated 90

14:13

billion EUR for Armament and Military

14:16

over 2% of the gross domestic product

14:19

and actually wants to spend even

14:21

more you support NATO as a military

14:24

Alliance you also supported in the vote

14:27

that that NATO was expanded to to

14:29

include Sweden and Finland which I

14:31

consider a fatal mistake the northern

14:33

expansion as well as the Eastern

14:35

expansion before that the afd supported

14:37

this and unlike us is not only not

14:40

against rearmament and militarization

14:42

but also has no problems with social

14:49

[Music]

14:51

Cuts she is against a statutory minimum

14:54

wage the increase of the minimum wage

14:56

and social housing construction however

14:59

there are here and there members of

15:00

parliament in various factions be it the

15:02

CDU CSU faction or the SPD who recognize

15:06

this madness but they usually do not

15:09

dare to publicly stand against it

15:11

against the faction line or the party

15:12

line which I find very

15:15

regrettable we need every voice against

15:17

the war and against Germany’s or NATO’s

15:20

direct involvement in this proxy war in

15:22

Ukraine which holds enormous escalation

15:26

potential an enormous escal

15:33

and we will talk about that in a moment

15:36

but I would like to return to something

15:37

you mentioned in the conclusion of your

15:39

book which pleases me the most also in

15:42

relation to the name of my channel you

15:45

write that Europe must return to

15:47

diplomacy and international law and most

15:49

importantly have the courage to embrace

15:52

neutrality could you elaborate on that

15:56

how do you see neutrality as part of

15:58

Europe’s future

16:07

one might first need to say that members

16:09

of NATO engage in a trade-off as soon as

16:12

one becomes a member of this military

16:14

pact one loses independent autonomy and

16:17

also sovereignty this applies both to

16:19

foreign and security policy as well as

16:21

to domestic policy because they are

16:23

naturally

16:24

intertwined one essentially gives up

16:27

neutrality and I believe believe that

16:29

this means conversely that we need to

16:31

leave this military pact in order to be

16:33

neutral autonomous and independent again

16:36

and to regain sovereignty in our

16:38

politics whether domestically or in

16:40

foreign

16:49

policy and I believe that NATO members

16:51

are at risk of subordinating their

16:53

foreign and security policy to the

16:55

directives of Washington and giving up

16:58

their own democratic sovereignty this is

17:00

evident right now for example because US

17:02

President Biden declared overnight that

17:05

Western weapons especially American

17:07

weapons can be used in Ukraine for war

17:10

objectives in Russia shortly thereafter

17:13

Chancellor Olaf Schultz said that German

17:16

weapons can now also be

17:25

used so if one still needs proof that we

17:28

are essentially just a vassel state of

17:31

the USA and almost instantaneously

17:33

follow every step of the US

17:36

Administration then we have received

17:38

this proof once again today this is of

17:41

course dangerous for us therefore I say

17:44

we need an independent Europe of

17:45

sovereign democracies in a multipolar

17:48

world this includes an independent

17:50

European foreign and security policy

17:52

that is oriented towards good relations

17:54

with the major Powers it must also take

17:56

into account international law ta policy

17:59

and balancing of interests this requires

18:02

stopping the expansion of NATO into Asia

18:04

and

18:12

Europe of course one should

18:15

simultaneously pursue a policy of

18:17

disengagement as George F Kennan for

18:19

example advocated Kennan was a

18:22

significant foreign policy figure in the

18:24

USA the goal is to achieve a

18:26

disentanglement of military blocks and

18:28

to launch a diplomatic initiative to

18:30

reduce the risk of direct military

18:33

confrontation this is all important in

18:35

the past it has been observed that

18:37

countries adopting a neutral position

18:39

are protected from attacks they are not

18:42

perceived as aggressive states that

18:44

might attack and therefore do not run

18:47

the risk of being preemptively

18:56

attacked and this neutrality has

18:58

protected many countries such as

19:00

Switzerland for 200 years or Ireland but

19:04

this neutrality is naturally Under

19:05

Pressure the neutrality of Finland and

19:08

also Austria has protected them as well

19:11

both countries have historically

19:12

benefited from this neutrality such as

19:15

the withdrawal of Allied and Russian

19:17

troops from

19:18

Austria in Finland this neutrality has

19:21

also protected the country I believe it

19:24

is a mistake to think that Ireland can

19:25

achieve more security by joining a

19:27

military Pact

19:31

[Music]

19:37

I absolutely agree with you often the

19:39

counterargument is made that Belgium was

19:41

invaded and neutrality does not

19:44

work then I always have to say yes but

19:47

the other Allied states in the first

19:49

world war also ended up in the war

19:52

ultimately alliances have an extreme

19:54

potential to generate War if you had a

19:57

majority in the bundar tomorrow for an

19:59

alliance with Sarah Venn and you were

20:01

Chancellor would you take Germany out of

20:04

NATO and declare it

20:12

neutral well I would of course wish for

20:14

a federal republic of Germany that

20:16

remains

20:17

neutral we recently celebrated the 75th

20:20

anniversary of our great basic law on

20:22

May 23rd unfortunately many other

20:26

parties and politicians have completely

20:28

lost a fundamental characteristic of our

20:30

basic law namely the peace mandate that

20:33

is enshrined in our basic law this peace

20:36

mandate emerged after the second world

20:38

war because Germany was supposed to be a

20:40

peace power it was therefore supposed to

20:43

be perceived worldwide as a peace actor

20:45

War should never again emanate from

20:47

German

20:52

[Music]

20:55

soil and from German soil there should

20:58

never never again be exports of War

21:00

weapons with which Wars and human rights

21:02

violations are committed as is currently

21:05

the case in Gaza by Israel with the help

21:07

of German arms

21:09

exports all this actually demands that

21:12

we remain neutral and advocate for an

21:14

independent Sovereign foreign and

21:16

security policy based on the interests

21:19

of democratic sovereignty and the

21:20

majority of the population and not of

21:22

any corporations or the military

21:24

industrial complex whether in Germany or

21:27

the USA

21:28

is what I would wish for but it would of

21:30

course be illusory to say that such

21:32

ideals could be achieved immediately

21:43

tomorrow therefore concrete steps must

21:45

be taken we are taking these concrete

21:47

steps by relying on diplomacy both in

21:50

Gaza and in Ukraine we need an

21:52

unconditional ceasefire the dying must

21:55

be stopped and the risk of escalation

21:57

must be reduced

21:59

the second point is that we want to

22:00

return to international law NATO is not

22:03

an alliance that has respected

22:04

international law so far on the contrary

22:07

it leaves a trail of blood in NATO’s

22:09

history violations of international law

22:12

illegal Wars and war crimes characterize

22:15

NATO yes exactly that’s why I mean these

22:18

myths 25 years ago with the war of

22:21

aggression against Yugoslavia it was

22:23

proven that television stations and

22:25

infrastructure were bombed

22:33

even the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade was

22:35

bombed by NATO there was no

22:38

International legal authorization for

22:39

these

22:40

bombs 20 years of war in Afghanistan

22:43

were conducted with numerous war crimes

22:45

that remain unpunished to this day the

22:48

leading power of NATO the USA waged an

22:50

illegal war against Iraq with the help

22:53

of other Allied NATO States and NATO

22:55

infrastructure even countries like the

22:57

federal republic of Germany which did

22:59

not actively participate in this war

23:02

provided NATO infrastructure on German

23:04

soil and thus effectively supported

23:13

it and of course there is the war in

23:15

Libya in 2011 also the attack on Libya

23:18

in disregard or misuse of a UN

23:21

resolution for a regime change War by

23:23

NATO we have seen all of this and it is

23:26

not a defense Alliance according to the

23:29

American Brown University the NATO

23:31

leading power USA is responsible for the

23:33

death of 4.5 million people in the last

23:36

20 years in this war on terror if one

23:38

wants to end this one must of course

23:41

return to international law all states

23:43

must adhere to this if they do not want

23:45

to wake up in Anarchy or barbarism that

23:48

is the alternative to international law

23:50

to an international order that everyone

23:52

must follow

24:01

and we need Arms Control treaties again

24:04

we must return to disarmament it is

24:06

absurd and extremely dangerous to live

24:08

in a world where there are weapon

24:10

systems that can destroy the entire

24:12

planet multiple times and where there

24:14

are no longer any Arms Control

24:16

agreements that are adhered to and

24:18

mutually respected we need to return to

24:21

that and what we also need of course is

24:24

an end to economic Wars and unilateral

24:27

sanctions these sanctions are primarily

24:29

decided unilaterally and in violation of

24:32

international law by the West normally

24:34

under chapter 7 of the UN Charter the UN

24:37

Security Council alone is authorized to

24:39

impose

24:48

sanctions but the West the EU and NATO

24:50

simply decide on sanctions for

24:52

themselves or the USA decides on

24:55

them these sanctions are considered the

24:57

weapons of mass destruction of our time

25:00

thousands of people in Cuba Venezuela

25:02

and Syria suffer from these unilateral

25:04

sanctions not to mention the economic

25:07

Wars that bring us to the brink of

25:08

economic collapse even in the industrial

25:11

nations of

25:12

Europe for example the sanctions against

25:15

Russia this economic war or now the

25:17

economic war against China which is

25:19

particularly instigated by the USA 100%

25:22

tariffs on electric cars 50% on

25:24

semiconductors and solar cells 25% on

25:27

batteries and Port cranes

25:37

with these latest announcements from the

25:39

Biden Administration this trade war

25:41

between the USA and China is

25:44

intensifying this leads to Germany

25:46

getting caught in the crossfire

25:47

especially considering that China is our

25:49

largest trading partner we need to

25:52

return to regulations in arms control

25:55

and to cooperation in economic relations

25:57

we should move away from the escalation

26:00

of economic relations with Russia and

26:01

China and return to international law

26:04

and

26:04

diplomacy these would be essential steps

26:07

to deescalate the situation worldwide

26:09

and achieve a relaxation of tensionI

26:12

hope that when we celebrate the 75th

26:14

anniversary of NATO this year we won’t

26:16

have a 76th or 80th anniversary

26:27
