Ur view on russian economy is sooo different to what i heard earlier this week. I can't remember where i heard it but they were stating their economy was in dire straits! Scream!!
Not hard to pull a sheep over Trumps face
You could hear Reagan saying it, you hear……AC just stopped himself saying Thatcher…..saying it.
What a pair. Con men? or dumb men. I think the former.
Stop with the endorsements. It takes away from the credibility of what you are saying if there's a sniff of being influenced by advertisers. Just saying.
The entire world can see Trump is a Russian asset the guy is bought and paid for with Russian money and is in Putin's pocket causing chaos in Europe NATO and amongst Americas closest allies. Plus the guy is the biggest idiot ever to become President twice with Russian help and Musk buying votes
China has a plan to elevate china yo be the most influential nation. The west jas hand wringers like one of thse presenters
Cant we find a dossier of mass distraction like for iraq?
China has a 50 year plan, the US cannot think ahead 3 months
The west is too arrogant!
Your podcast is so bias on China, both are living 20 years ago. 😅
Suggest both you to visit China.
These 2 gentlemen should travel to the places they are commenting on. It will provide a real perspective of the 2 countries of China and Russia rather than relying on some western propaganda 🤣 and retelling us the same propaganda 😂
Orientalism
Maybe it's not so much Russia & China outsmarting, as the US actively out-dumbing them
Trump and Musk are acting like two Kamakazie pilots driving the US down the drains🫣
Qnd to think that we are just a tiny spec buzzing around in a massive universe how could we screw it up. Easy, were not here for long so start to get along maybe.
Typical Rory running disgusting propagandist, victim blaming cover for his Jihadist friend in Syria. Disgusting. You lie almost as most as your old boss!
Furthermore, you have some cheek saying I am just a journalist. You didn’t say the same about Joe Rogan for having Donald Trump or Liz Truss for going on Cargon’s far right rag.
You are a pair of hypocrites to be frank, I am not an Israeli, a bot or an Iranian-Russian whatever before you come at me like that. If you two had an ounce of decency you would apologise for platforming a terrorist from the UK’s largest and most enduring foe of the modern age. Denial of that is not only suggesting you don’t care about Middle Eastern minorities but you also don’t care about the people blown to bits on tube trains in 2005 or everyone else who has been murdered by the Salafist grunts this deplorable savage has trained and aided for 20 years. Not to mention how the savage got his start blowing up our boys in the war that Mr Campbell’s boss started.
I look forward to your apology in full.
The one thing that all governments can agree on is that the Kurds are bad and should be denied independence
Guys make up your minds. Trump can’t both be a Russian plant and following project 2025 point by point. Or explain to me why I am wrong on this one.
It's not hard to out smart a complete idiot
His team are looney bin quality also.
Grifting scumbags.
Sell their own mothers that lot for a quick profit.
We should all be very worried .
Alastair talks sense. Rory just regurgitating the same old nonsense and confirmed his own biases.
Think what the world is most concern of is the fact that USA, Russia, and China could literally take over the world and split it into 3rds…not to mention that Trump, Putin, and Xi have known one another for years…just sating…❤peacealways
Rory looks genuinely so happy and in his element discussing proper policy and China's development, you can tell that he appreciates the somewhat no nonsense approach to policy the Chinese government takes – stating a goal and then achieving it on time (or even early).
blocking comment's is like driving with a .5 blood alcohol level and insisting you must drink more to sober up. Best of luck in the path you are on.
Rubbish…Both should visit China to learn about this country.
It does appear that some of the contributors in the comments could be intellectually bested by the spiders in my understairs cupboard.
The west, in it's arrogance imagines that china fears and respects it.
With china taking that long term.perspective, they look on the west with something combining pity and bemusememt.
The west, in it's arrogance imagines it is respected and feared.
china is most certainly outsmarting the US, but the US is actively outdumbing Russia.
Umm, both of these dudes seemed very very biased, almost to the point to feel physical pain when they had to give some credit to China. No wonder UK is going down. Fast.
Anyone can outsmart Rory, especially the prince of darkness…
Youee pathetic
So we have to pay your electricoty
You claim you would interview anyone – but strangely enough you never interviewed President Al Assad or anyone who was resisting your Al Qaeda terrorist proxies in Syria. Have you interviewed any of the Alawites who are resisting Al Qaeda Genocide now? No, of course you haven't. (You'll probably comfort yourself that I'm a Russia bot, but actually I'm an Irish person who has 800 years of experience of how English imperialism works – lies, terrorism and Genocide have always been your weapons of choice).
Nobody was surprised about an MI6 agent glorifying Al Qaeda terrorists in Syria. You have been arming, funding, and giving political cover to Al Qaeda in Libya and Syria since 2011 (long before that in Libya – one of your Libyan proxies blew up English children in the Manchester Arena but even that didn't stop you continuing to arm and fund Al Qaeda).
As ever. Voices of reason.
It's about the superiority complex of Western Anglo American countries. China doesn't fit the Western Capitalism model and therefore can't be any match for Western Capitalism. 😅 How wrong can you be.
I believe the EU has a real opportunity to improve some relationships/make some friends with China.
And in the big land of make believe, if China did dominate the world, i'd rather that than Russia and modern day US. They at least bring better food.
Why don't you say anything about the barbaric killing of 1000s of Syrians by your bestie Jolani? Highly disappointing
