The adverts on Youtube are intolerable! They can't be turned off, so I have to sit through that shit which I won't, so I never get to see the video. What a depressing situation.
Ambassador Matlock was knowledgeable, informative and refreshing, showing little blind 'my country, right or wrong' type bias. He also appeared both moral and practical (as do you all).
I generally find most of your videos worthwhile, although they are long on history and short on analysis that seeks to explicitly predict the potential next steps in the conflicts. I find Alexander Mercouris generally quite reticent in considering the ways things may turn out disastrously.
As someone trained as a Neuropsychologist, I can tell you the human brain is specialized to predict the future. We do it, whether we are aware or not, because we do everything we do.
Yes, the past is very important, but less because it is an interesting story, and mainly because it allows us to have a basis upon which to predict the future... so that we can decide whether to take action and which actions are likely to work best, given our motivation.
As the Moderator, I submit that you stop your guests from talking about the past about 3/4 through the discussion and get them focused on applying what they have talked about, giving their honest and considered view of the various potential paths forward.
My belief is the Continent’ of America Europe and The Island of Britain which unfortunately includes My Beloved Nation Scotland Are the Most HATED Land Masses in The World. Not because the Lands are inhabited by Bad or Cruel Populations But because We the People are Governed Ruled over would Better describe our situation by Corrupt Billionaires who have To my knowledge Far to much influence in the Political Running of the Countries. The Political Alliances between our Countries Are unhealthy and not a Fair Alliance as the Largest Member America Are BULLIES and would Sacrifice every Living Human Being on Our Planet as opposed to Losing Face. All Obscenely Rich should have no more Rights to a President’ or A PM’ Ear Than I or anyone else on the Planet and for these People with Billions to have this Privilege is not only Deplorable It is against the Workings of A Democratic Society. Quite frankly it Has the Stench of Corruption surrounding the Democratic Ethos The Billionaires are without Doubt and with Malice Perverting and Corrupting the World of Western Democracy. America is helping the Zionist Sociopaths to Exterminate the People of Palestine Lebanon and Now Syria Who next Iran definitely Then the Final act once All the Scum Who see themselves as Worthy to Survive have Sealed their Luxury Bunkers nice and Tight Armageddon. The Fools must Honestly Believe all they owned everything they had will be Waiting for them when they come out there is No Idiots like Once Obscenely Rich Idiots their Arrogance will be The Death Of Them All so Comrades we can take Solace in the Fact they Will Die a Slow Painful Death because their Fortunes mean F*** All in The World they wilfully Created. “KARMA”
We need someone to analysis Oligarchies and their future (though I believe the only future in an Oligarchy is extreme poverty, slavery and the Rich eating the poor) because those are what are ruling the countries of the West.
Because the mainstream media have the guests representing Ukraine and the US pundits representing Ukrainian government points of view all the time. You don’t get enough of that there?
As for people who worked as diplomats during and after Cold War, it is very important to hear them telling the truth about what happened, not the neocons and media spin masters “interpretation” = lies. Jack Matlock has integrity and intelligence. He is one of the disappearing professionals.
There are no diplomats left in Washington. Hallucinating lunatics took over. They should be playing with legos in a mental asylum but they are playing with countries and peoples lives. The world is in grave danger.

You can skip them after five seconds lower right button appears
You can download DuckDuckGo browser and watch YouTube on that without tracking or advertising.
That's a fact I love!
I use duckduckgo, makes no dif, except if I leave the page and then return, I get the video without the ads.
Yes. Often that happens, but going to settings and turning YouTube button on and off again works and is so so much better than ads and tracking.

Russia destroyed the INF treaty. The Russians have developed weapons during the treaty period of time so Trump draw US out of this deal.
Sooo emotional. You have been captured by the propagandists.
Why do you always have guests which lived during the cold war? You never have guests representing Ukraine and their views? Why not?
Yes, bring Yermak and elenskies onto the Duran, bring lotsa cocaine for the gentlemen
Ukraine don't exist, tis Russia
Because the mainstream media have the guests representing Ukraine and the US pundits representing Ukrainian government points of view all the time. You don’t get enough of that there?
