VIDEO
Former UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter and Author and Human Rights Lawyer Dan Kovalik REACT to a new brokered unity deal among Palestinian factions in Beijing which has been in the works for months thanks to cooperation between Russia and China. A new Middle East is upon us, and it's bad news for Israeli and US dominance. This video breaks it all down.
there was just a a historic right before Netanyahu gave his speech a historic agreement brokered by China amongst 14 Palestinian resistance groups uh organizations basically agreeing to uh to establish a Unified Government of Palestine unified state of Palestine under the peoples under the Palestine Organization and the document adhere to palestine's right to Armed resistance and uh even the Western mainstream media had to even though they said that there's a lot of pessimism around it they had to acknowledge it as incredibly significant you've also had you know Russia had has had a lot of uh you know activity around this conflict too also hosting uh Palestinian organizations for the same purpose a couple of times over the last year so maybe you could comment on the role and the contrast between how the rising powers in the multi-polar world have uh uh reacted to this conflict and engaged with this conflict versus the United States and of course are yeah uh I mean it is pretty um Russia and China stepping up as you say to support the Palestinians to uh broker Unity between the resistance groups in Palestine it has frankly a feel from the old days when the Soviet Union still existed um in Russia's foreign policy these days looks a lot like the Soviet Union's foreign policy in fact in I believe it was May of 2022 the foreign Ministry of Russia put out a white paper on their foreign policy and in paragraph five they said that Russia is a legal successor to the Soviet Union and uh as such it would continue the two main policies of the Soviet Union which were anti-fascism and anti-colonialism supporting the anti-colonial struggle and that's exactly what Russia and China are doing um with Palestine in now which is very heartening as Scott said I I think you will see the quickening of the end of of Zionism uh which has to go it is a hateful uh philosophy and be and has become more time of course uh my concern and I think a lot of people's concern is how many people would will be will die in the process of Zionism dying how many people it and will Gaza survive it right will before Gaza is destroyed and um I pray that it that that it is but I I fear for the future of Gaza of course world I think the people of the world it's not hyperbolic to say the people of Palestine even in the west the people largely are um they certainly don't want to see this Slaughter happening in Gaza the truth is the governments of the West don't really well represent their own people in terms of that not in terms of Gaza or frankly by this time not even in Ukraine most Americans want to stop Ukraine um the Europeans we're seeing elections that are showing that the Europeans are turning against that war as well in Ukraine and certainly against um as you say the multipolar world is birth at this moment spurred on it first transition by the special military operations of Russia and Ukraine I mean you know that almost overnight it was incredible to see how the multi-polar Blossom after that and then after uh October 7th we're seeing it grow and so um again I am heartened by that the unipolar world that the US created after the collapse of the Soviet Union was an ugly world the us could have after the collapse of the Soviet Union been a harbinger of Peace in this world it decided to go the opposite way it decided to use its power war particularly in the Muslim world I mean that has to be pointed out um it's been estimated that four million Muslims lost their lives uh since the so-called war and Terror began 911 um four million people that's an incredible number um and that's just the tip of the iceberg in the Congo six million people at least have been killed and by the way that Slaughter continues you know we have to have you know all eyes on Gaza but meanwhile in in Congo and Sudan you have incredible Bloodshed that's happening that's getting almost no attention at all you know and I maybe we have to save that for another day but these are again all Empire that the West has been waging and you know to build upon what Scott said not only is Zionism seeing the end of days the US Empire seeing the end of well uh but again many people suffer and collapses yeah and scottt maybe you can comment on not just the Beijing declaration also you mentioned Russia onala U perhaps striking a deal around arms you we've had the access of resistance in large part Embrace both Russia and China of course there are going to be disagreements and I'm sure that there are disagreements among them but overall the overall policy has been moving toward whether it's Iran's relationship Yemen's relationship or the rest of the access of resistance relationship with Russia and China so could you comment on this in the context of this pretty Monumental not getting a lot of coverage or maybe as much coverage given netanyahu's visit but given the huge declaration that happened at the same time well I mean again this is what I was um alluding to before know right now our mainstream media in the west United States is focused on netanyahu's speech um it will be a footnote in history when the eventual book is written about this time um his speech will literally just be a footnote because it's meaningless it's um he's I gotta watch my Lang I'm very angry right now so I have to um I have to be very careful because I can immediately go into Marine Corps mode and and use language it probably isn't appropriate so um these are infuriating times but words are meaningless words it's just hot air coming out of his mouth um it's infuriating but what historians will reflect on is this Israel said that they will not do business with Hamas that's one of their red lines and I understand that's a even even though I don't support the Israeli government um if if I'm being honest as a mediator that's a tough one to swallow to tell Israel no you got to sit down at the table with Hamas um what China did is um there there's no more Hamas I mean there you know it it exists but China has created this Fusion entity uh that now has legitimacy um that will be able to sit down and um and negotiate and Israel has no choice now no choice Israel can't say that's Hamas it's not Hamas it's something different Hamas is part of it this was a brilliant Act of diplomacy by China I I should point out that I think Russia actually initiated this um this this effort they brought Hamas and the P into Moscow to have the discussions this is part of that collusion taking place between Russia and China about what a multi-polar world should look like which is a world that seeks peaceful resolutions to some of the most difficult problems remember it was Russia again initiating dialogue China closing the deal on the um the the normalization of relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia which is a fundamental Game Changer both those Nations now are going to be sitting at the bricks table unimaginable five years ago uh to talk about that that happened um now Russ and China have created the conditions where um Israel will have to sit down with this Fusion element and and do business with they can't say that's us this is the genius of uh of of of of what has happened here and people need to be you know talking about that but there's another aspect of it too because Russia you know I always advise people you you both know who Ray McGovern is Right Dan you've met Ray McGovern yes yeah I know he's been on the show Ray McGovern first of all he's just a hell of a nice guy I mean you can't help but love Ray McGovern he's literally you know every man's Grandpa uh the grandpa you just dreamed of having because he's that good of a guy um but you know he's a man who used to be a CIA analyst um back in the day uh when I when I worked with the CIA I was never in the CIA but when I worked with them um we called the Soviet uh branch of Sova Soviet Affairs um and that was the sort of the the brain of all Soviet related analysis he predates the Soviet Affairs so he's he's before so I made the mistake once of saying oh Ray was with SOA and he called me up and said Scott I'm before SOA um that's how old he is but Ry taught me a couple things um he he said you know distrusting um Russian media and the statements made by Russian politicians because it's it's a carryover from Soviet times where you know we had sovietologists who would literally look at photographs and look at how close people are standing to whom to determine what the power structure is in the pull B oh my God coan's wearing a fur hat and he's 4.6 inches from bnff the world is coming to an end um kind of thing and he said no all you have to do is read the Soviet press read the statements made listen to the speeches they're not line they get up there and they say something because that's what they're going to do um Putin is one of the most transparent leaders out there he meets all the time with the governors with his own cabinet and the the minutes of these meetings are published you can watch it on YouTube you can read it if you have the patience to do this you know I'm a specialist in this so this is what I do for a living that's why I'm pretty boring you know but uh the the the the the fact of the matter is Putin has said some things like you fired the America and in Europe gave Ukraine weapons that they then used to attack Russia and there will be a price to pay we will we are holding you accountable and we will pay the price now immediately people jumped on that said oh my God Russia's gonna hit American forces hit Russia's not that not that crude or crafts and they came out they said no it'll it'll be an asymmetric response um which means they're going to come at it a different then later on he said what that means we're going to provide weapons to the enemies of the United States and Europe so that those weapons can be used to attack the United States and Europe that's what's going to happen and we will pick the time and place I believe because right after Israel struck uh Yemen in retaliation for the hoodi Drone strike on Tel Aviv I think lavro uh who's chairing the uh Security Council right now uh said that uh Russia will not sit on the sidelines forever uh that Russia is going to get involved um I think Russia has gotten involved Russia just finalized a uh a very detailed uh defense agreement with Iran and I believe there's classified annexes to that um and I think one of the classified annexes deal with the transfer of Russian military equipment to Iran with the intention of Iran transferring it to to to Yemen to the hoodi U why well why would I mean Russia shouldn't be landing IL 76s in SAA airport um that's not asymmetric that's in your face Iran already has a very efficient Logistics uh system set up where they are transferring weapons to Yemen so Iran will continue that but now the weapons are going to be more modern they're going to be weapons can sink um US Naval vessels in the Red Sea um if they get the Onyx uh anti-ship missile system that's a certainty um and they're going to get missiles that can strike Israel without being shot down um and this is the escalation this is what he uh Russia promised to do so this is the other side of the coin on the one hand you have genius uh diplomacy taking place that sets the condition for peace but on the other hand you have real politic where the Russians are going to follow through because Ray McGovern told me when Russia says something take it to the bank are going to follow through with the asymmetric Warfare they're going to provide these weapons to Yemen through a proxy Iran and those weapons will be used to great effect uh against Israel and the United States the gloves are off you don't get the fire attack them's missiles at Crimea and kill vacationers on a Sebastapol Beach without there being repercussions and the repercussions will be a heavily armed Yemen and what is Israel going to do bomb Yemen get in line man the Saudis have been doing it since 2014 America and the British tried to do it uh couldn't couldn't accomplish the objective um the Emy have just gotten stronger gotten better um I mean and that's what people are going to be writing about not Benjamin yya who's pathetic little arade of a you know speech in front of the US Congress the disgrace of the US Congress they're going to be talking about the diplomacy of Russia and China and the asymmetric warfare that's going to break the back of Israel and the United States uh in in know I'm not happy about this I I I again I just have to be honest I'm an American and uh I don't want American Sailors to die I don't don't want American sers to die Airmen to die I want them to get the hell out of that region and come home and live uh but we're we don't have politicians that think sanely we don't re we don't have military officials that understand the limits of power and we're going to end up sailing ships into Harm's Way um and we're going to we're going to lose these ships and we're going to lose Americans and it's going to break my heart but it is the inevitable com you know the inevitable um consequence of uh empirical overreach America is trying to do too much with too little with no international support and most importantly no legitimacy we lack legitimacy of purpose in everything we today yeah Dan I want to give you actually the final comment on this U before we move on because you know uh I'd like to hear your assessment not just what Scott said but also given these developments adding in the the fact that Russia has promised and this was a while ago this was when the United States and NATO everyone was coming in and saying we're going to allow Ukraine to use our weapons to strike deep into Russian territory Russia said okay well we're going to start arming your adversaries because uh that is what you would call an ier ey that's that's that's that's the the proper response so can you talk about in the context of this especially with Yemen Yemen just landed a pretty big hit on Tel Aviv a very embarrassing one and now they could very well uh find themselves even more heavily armed and even more impressively armed than they already have been which you know uh not only do they have friends in the aess of resistance but they also have you know they're not a stranger to government they do have a military they do have access to their own government um as beleaguered as it's been by us Saudi Invasion so your final words Dan yeah now first of all cheers to Yemen I I mean it's one of the poorest countries on Earth as Scott uh said it it's been a victim of a very brutal War since 2014 again supported by the United Britain um some believe that was a genocidal War as well which also led to Yemen um and and still this very poor shipping uh of the world in the Red Sea to support Gaza they don't have to do that they are sacrificing themselves to do that and uh one can only applaud it in my in my view uh you know the genocide Convention of 1948 says that you know the nations of the world have an obligation to stop and genocide when they see it and Yemen is actually taking that seriously it's one of the few countries that is that's actually physically doing something about it but in terms of you know Russia and its statements about um you know retaliating against the west through proxies you know the west and the US imp for basically its whole history of going to war with other countries without right even when we lose thousands tens of thousands of troops like we did in Vietnam you never saw Vietnamese on the streets of New York City fighting us right but they could have they would have had every right to do that right and you know it was inevitable at some point you will reap what you sow you cannot go to war with the rest of the world you cannot support a war Russia as you said uh support Ukraine to um civilians deep within Russia to Target Russia's defense radar defense systems that were designed not to defend against you know uh countries like Ukraine that are next door but to defend against intercontinental ballistic States uh you can't do that and expect forever not to be hit and return and Americans are used to that Americans you know are shocked to think that that other countries would somehow uh people cannot expect to go to war um and have it a a totally unilateral thing which again the Americans have had for so long um and Americans need to start waking up that we have we have carried out these wars abroad destroyed entire nations destroyed civilizations destroyed Antiquities of the world again particularly in the Middle um they have to wake up to that destruction and and that we at some feel um you know the real repercussions of that they're coming and they're also economically thank you for tuning in to my latest video I appreciate all of your support this
