Retired Army Colonel Andrew Bacevich argues America’s leaders are woefully out of touch with reality, and unable to adapt to a changing world. Unless they are wrenched from power, the twilight of the American empire will be one filled with catastrophe after catastrophe.
Andrew Bacevich is a retired army colonel and Emeritus Professor of History and International Relations at Boston University. He is also the cofounder and president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

  1. Those elites remain blind because they have chosen to be elites. Their narcissism is so deep that is has no room for sanity. They are a danger to the planet, I do not exaggerate when I say this.

  2. AMERICA OF COURSE MATT GAETZ WAS RIGHT. MC CARTHY WAS MAKING DEALS TO GET UKRAINE FUNDED WHILE AMERICA ITSELF WAS LEFT FALLING APART. THE DEBT IS BEYOND OUT OF CONTROL. ONLY THE BLIND OR TOTALLY MINDLESS CANNOT SEE THE USA IS IN TROUBLE. LOOK AT THE DEM CITIES, THE CRIME, THE BORDER, THE DOLLAR & TREASURY SITUATION AND YOU CAN SEE WHY WE CANNOT KEEP DOING WHAT BIDEN, BETRAYS US, KIRBY, SULLIVAN, PELOSI, SCHUMEY, NADLER, GRAHM WANT & THAT BE KEEP FUNDING ZINKY AND KEEP DOING LITTLE FOR AMERICA. THANK GAETZ, HE IS TRYING. OH AS MEDIA CBS, NBC, WA PO, NYT ETC SAY. UK SAY 24/7 365 ZINKY & UK WINNING THE WAR, RUSSIA IS COLLAPSING & ALL IN AMERICA IS GREAT HA HA HA

  3. Most of this perspective is true however, the comment early on that climate change is undeniable is wrong. Why expose the lies in our history while supporting the lie that climate change is a current crisis. The actual science refutes this claim. I would refer you to Patrick Moore for a more acurate understanding of what's important and true about this issue. Why support new lies driven by ecoconomics and political agendas to replace the mistakes of the past. I think you are missing the point. We can no long take the position of being the world's police force and see that as long as war is profitable we will have wars.

  4. Not buying his argument. America First means exactly that. American needs to take care of it's own people before it can think about fixing the world. But this is basic logic, not rocket science.

  5. I'm not saying he's wrong from a long-term perspective… But what he's asking of black people in America is a lot. To take that extreme optimistic perspective and to not see the United States history through that 1619 lens.

  6. Can't listen to this guest. I don't have time for anybody who sucks up to the mob against trump. Trump has gone above and beyond to help wake the people up. The leftist cult, which your guest is licking the butt sweat off is as incoherent as trump. Just out the other end of the spectrum. Love your channel though.

  7. Lots of hate on Trump. He is just a man but if you compare him to other presidents he did more good and less damage. Of course he did expose The Establishment for their corruption. So I'm not in line with your guests here Chris.
    Yesterday I listen to kennard.
    He exposes a lot of corruption.
    But I don't see how that ties to Trump. But it ties to everybody else that was on the stage in 2016.

  8. from what I have gathered in seconds, "whyppl create problems then pay themselves for discussing violences without bringing about any resolve.
    And, furthermore are damned to repeating".
    booo to all of this jibberish…
    How many of those criminally insane have been promoted via whyppl media: books, movies, and etc.?
    seems to me some whyppl will make sure a violent barbarians' families are to be paid for criminal behaviors. Meanwhile, BLK are thrown away and their families are shunned.

  9. Something about the kool aid this guy spouts makes me nauseous. He does not understand that the usa was founded upon chattel slavery and genocide, he is uncomfortable with the fact that race get too close to his personal ideology likely of privilege— which he would certainly deny. The kind of fool Malcolm X warned about.

  10. Putin was much more in the Right than the NATO leaders. Ukraine has a 0.14 Jewish community and the top 4 jobs were Jewish. And they speak about creating a 2nd Israel, preposterous.

  11. I hope no one is saying that the Clintons were better than Trump. I believe in the common good for all. And neither the Clintons nor Trump nor the Jewish rulers care about the Common Good.

  12. I'm an honorable USN retiree, over 20 years been enduring abuse harm violations & atrocities from awful people in Veteran's Exploitation Industrial Complex, HUD & other agencies, expose & confront kleptocracy malfeasance graft in San Diego CA, Columbus, Lancaster, & Chillicothe OH, beside other city county state & conniving parasitic NGO corporateers profiteer front facade shell (numerous conniving NGO parasitic profiteer scams schemes indulged by Combined Federal Campaign) even legal firms & media are bribed on the dole or undeservedly indulged then obfuscate obstruct & suppress exposure, with rare exceptions (potentially moral people that risk retaliation for providing support & exposure) else supposed medical, social service, advocacy, service offices, or other are among systemic corruption, graft, & complicit shills that commit or indulge abscond heist exploit harm injure promote exploit stigma then evade accountability while further impose socio-econ disparity, steal benefit entitlement valor then retaliate with further malevolence harm violations & atrocities. ScAmerika is an awful nation, thoroughly vice-ridden immoral & evil, no support or protection, no exposure or due process else obfuscate obstruct, further threats & retaliation, so I'm compelled to inform & contact embassies for support, protection, refuge, asylum & sanctuary while proceed with exposure & accountability. Healthcan't & pharma profiteers are among criminals but institutions & law enforcement among systemic corruption that indulge atrocity. Beware & stay safe.

  13. I’m OUT @ 2:00 when this general is concerned about “climate change”. Instant discredit of his point of view. Bye bye 👋

  14. "For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed." Isaiah 9:16 KJV

  15. 11:45 This comment about the importance of race should not be up to this gentleman's assessment. After all, how is he more or less impacted by anti-black racism today? Moreover, how long has he and his "family" from Europe been here? ("The past is not even past" Faulkner.)

    How can he compare the importance of being an American to the enslaved Africans still suffering from the theft and brutalization we still suffer? Anti-black racism is not over.

    As far as Native Americans are concerned, they cannot be compared to the enslaved Africans. This was their land (and some of it still is). The Africans were far, far away from their native lands and were excluded from Native Americans, for they had no free interest to be among them.

    The worst of it for the natives here was that they died from chemical warfare en masse. Just what Africans had to do with Native Americans then and even now makes little difference to them and them to each other.

    As long as "white" people believe they are entitled to say what they feel to be true without sanction since they own the microphones, we cannot allow these "Europeans" of any claims to specialness based on the nonsense of skin color. They are Europeans; they are not white.

    How are the Europeans even enough of Americans to be compared to the descendants of the enslaved Africans as such? I don't get it. Races were a scam then, and it continues to be a scam today. And THEY should stop it. This can be done by reminding them that they owe a debt to those they robbed and continue to deny it until they decide to prevent the evasions.
