The Doomsday Machine: The Big Lie of the Cold War – Daniel Ellsberg on RAI (1/13)

1. ANY BETS AUSTRALIAN SHIPS ARE GOING TO HOLD NUCLEAR WEAPONS, GIVEN HOW DISHONEST THE PEOPLE ELLSBERG COVERED?

2. Shoutout to eugenics

3. Ellsberg is 87 yrs old. What a life! Born into the Great Depression, coming of age in WWII, through the Cold War, Vietnam, 'til now. Amazing!

4. This is why I tag President H.S. Truman as the very worst President in U.S. history and an impossibly high bar to challenge. Michael C. Hudson, who I so respect, calls Obama "the worst President ever", but a geeky moron from Missouri, who stole the FDR VP final term nomination from peacemaker Henry Wallace, only to go on to pull out his tiny dick and wave it in Stalin's face (our greatest ally and why we don't all speak German now) by unleashing the nuclear age on 250,000 innocent, mostly women and children in Hiroshima and Nagasaki AFTER HE KNEW THE WAR WAS OVER! Damn – it doesn't get much more criminally insane than that!

5. Question: If you're going to commit to a "no first strike" with nukes strategy, why in GOD's name would you do a retaliatory "second" strike?" What did the millions/billions of innocent people dying from a retaliatory strike have to do with one maniac leader or "mistake launch" that created the first strike??? No nuke should ever EVER be launched! Period!

6. This is the exact reason Trump is still supporting the Saudi regime. Weapon sales. This is what he means by they are such an important partner in the Middle East. Obama sold them around 11 Billion and Trump over 12 Billion? Not positive on the numbers, but close.
   This is your children's education, your roads and bridges a healthcare system, all being blown up as a bomb on innocent people for profits. It has become one of the only exports Politicians protect.

7. Glad he cut his beard. Now his chin matches his head. Hope Steiner and Norton follow suit. Their beards are scraggly.

8. The elite outsourced many manufacturing jobs leaving many desperate for employment. The benefit they see is military industrial complex jobs are there as well as going into the military. Just do you job and don't question the system?

9. Russia CAN justify their defense spendings. NATO has illegally been creeping up to their doorstep and Russia knows that the West wants their natural resources, all of it.

10. All these old cold warriors still believe the same cold war b.s. about the USSR that not even the anti-communist Yale history professors like Timothy Snyder will espouse anymore.

11. Good to know that the holy almighty american empire is working hard to ensure cheap gasoline, cheap hamburgers, weapons jobs, free medical care for super obese americans, etc.

12. So…What does that mean…Russia is the TROUBLE maker…I think Not.!!…If ANY TROUBLE maker is The U.S. and Zionist Kabal ISRAEL.!!…Mr.Ellsberg Is A joke…Being of the same Tribe…He Should Know that ISRAEL HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS OF DESTRUCTION!!!🤬😡

13. To equate Russia's military budget, which is less than 1/10 of the US is deeply flawed. Likewise, Stalin's crimes have been grossly inflated by US propaganda. Professor Grover Furr has uncovered the actual records that prove that. Russia's MIC is far smaller than the US, and is far more defensive. How many military bases does Russia have vs. US? US has 100 times more military bases.

14. Russia builds their weapons because they have a legitimate threat. And I think Ellsberg exaggerates what Russia spends on defense.

15. The Real News and Paul Jay are the best of the best,, just like Daniel Ellsberg is the whistle blower. What we need most in this time Bravery. If Obama wasn't a coward we wouldn't have Trump.

16. What is not emphasized enough here is that Stalin, while he did awful things, killed at most 1 million people under his government's control, millions less than Hitler and Churchill. Literal Nazis spread the inflated numbers on Stalin to equate Stalin with Hitler, and the evidence is just not there.

17. Ellsberg is great but his Cold War Evil Soviets mentality is annoying

18. Russia isn’t spending a $Trillion in weapons. What is he talking about? Thats a lie and complete nonsense

19. Democrats and neo cons succeed in pushing for the new Cold war , with today's version of the big red scare, ya know now we pushed China and Russia going to the gold standard , apparently that isn't good for our dollar in the USA, regardless how people feel about Trump , I just wanna live in peace and push for working together with these countries without hurting ourselves

20. what have military done with the climate, , because of the threat from the submarines armed with missils-  breaking up through the polare ice, the Ozone layer depletion in 1980s, increased UV radiation,  they wanted to have the Ice melted…and then at that time suddenly the Cold war ended in 1989…..

21. great interview, please make a playlist for this, it is hard as hell to find your stuff as it is!

22. There is NO future for the Capitalist order.

23. Everyone takes the anti-stalin narrative for granted nowadays but its bullshit

24. Stalin had a desire to start world war III the Doctors Plot with the Korean War was the kick off

25. Its a shame we don't have more Ellsberg's we wouldn't be in this mess now if we did have. If only we had some figures like Mr Ellsberg in congress I would suggest for him to run for office but he himself will know how much the swamp cracks down on honest individuals.

26. The only issue I have is with the $1 trillion over ten years figure for Russia. That is an impossibility. Their entire defence budget is only $70 billion a year, they don't have the economy to support increasing it to $170 billion a year for 2 years, never mind 10.

    The state of California alone has a larger economy.

27. Stalin would have been a ruthless expansionist if he could have been. He was on a bucking bronco in russia desperate to hold onto the reins and not get thrown off and trampled. If the people of russia had not been standing up to and making it difficult for him then he would have done the same as hitler. The people pushed him to be less like hitler which is what the american people need to do if they want their oligarch, and ours are no different than stalin or hitler, not to follow their example.

28. Thank you for this interview, looking forward to the next one

29. Chomsky, Ellsburg, Hedges are too intellectual for the dumbed audiences of today who prefer the hot blondes of Faux news or the Penis sucking Don Lemons, or Anderson Cooper.
    Well at least we can get them on the internets.

30. Currently the mass's and most specifically MillennialS do not understand that US-Russia-China-India-Pakistan-France-UK all have these weapons aimed at each others heads and miscalculation can cause billions of horrifying deaths and wreck civilization and survivors would not be returned to a stone age but a stone age with ionizing RADIATION AND NUCLEAR WINTER.

31. Say no to nuclear!! Never been safe, never will. Worst invention ever to be made on the face of the planet. Do not listen to lobbyists who will go to the greatest extents to make you beleive otherwise. Especially when talking about ''clean'' energy.
    Peace and free energy will make nuclear a true dinosaur in the not too distant future.
    Drain the Swamp!!!
    God Bless.

32. Who controls Main Stream Media and all sorts of publications and broadcasting.???? We should stop watching, reading their publications and hence the Advertisers will soon get the message. Unfortunately a handful of corporations are running this country. the way they see it fit..

34. For a reality check see Kevin Shipp (ex-CIA) explain how the deep state works and why the millions of defense workers are under gag orders or have signed non-disclosure agreements.

35. Omnicide

36. More excellent and essential content from TRNW

37. Trump/Putin secret meeting was about setting this up.
