29 thoughts on “China, Russia & North Korea Alliance Expanding w/Lyle Goldstein of Defense Priorities”
Impressive dialogue session that sheds light on the current war in Ukraine from the refreshing aspect, namely from Northeast Asia. Thank you, Daniel, for inviting professor Goldstein.
I strongly disagree with the view that NKorean society, as it is today, is what NKorea would be if they were allowed to evolve into a normal country, but this seems to be the way many NKorea experts speak of NKorea and use as a pretext to continue unbelievable sanctions, not just for the last "several decades" but 70+ years. I think it is highly misleading and deceitful to speak of NKorean starvation and lack of resources, and blame the regime while it is American sanctions that create that very deliberate situation. It is American policy to starve and freeze NKorea. And Americans don't care that innocent people starve. NKorea is 100% a creation of American foreign policy. The Koreas did not divide itself. America divided the peninsula after WW2 against the will of the Korean people.
I think viewers should keep in mind that when Mr. Goldstein says "we", he speaks for himself, not the US government or the State Dept. Some viewers might get the wrong impression that the US gov't actually wants peace. In many cases, the State Dept. would love a hot war with NKorea and China, although Mr. Goldstein would not. Mr. Goldstein is clearly not a hawk. But most decision makers in the State Dept. are and sociopaths as well.
Lyle Goldstein is THE most knowledgeable and fair American in the related areas and military strengths–obviously he worked for the US Navy for 20 years and he is a US patriot, it's unreasonable to expect him to think like a Global South socialist, but he is objective and balanced, probably the best source of information and judgment, and updated.
He knows too much and is often too fast, so sometimes people can't keep up with him. Please get him back and talk to you often.
From what I’ve heard about DPRK engineers “going to the Donbass” that was fake news from South Korea. The collective west shit stream media is full of propaganda and lies.
I seen that so called punishment by china when they encircled the whole island including our military and I think I heard it was done in 20min and our military experts actually said china can take down taiwan in less than 30 min. I dont believe we will back taiwan beause we know we supported and aknowledged taiwan is china so I think whats going on is the same thing we always do which is not backing down. Its all about strategic agenda. taiwan is not even worth to risk boots on ground. We would have been at war and china also. its just strategic agenda imo. asia is not middle east with all respect. different strategy.
Chinese culture has always valued the warrior. For example: Cao Cao, Lu Bu, the first Qin Emperor, Guan Yu, Sun Tzu and even Mao Zedong, just to name a few.
Japan has long abandoned its warrior spirit after being occupied by the US for 70 years. Their main preoccupation now is corn, being depressed and sewiside.
It produces all its arms. Japan is only allowed defensive arms.
I think Russia would not provail, if the Chinese would not support them is utterly wrong. Russia has a big enough economy to supply everything they need. Concerning these alliance, guess who was the trigger, to bring them together?
Dont underestemate Chinas need for security after the Biden admin say publicly the window for war aginest China is open a copple of more year. At the same time they publicly say the war in Ukraine is about western hegemony. Why are we so aginest multipolariry? If all people can use their own recerces, it will decreace massmigration a lot.
The mistake of the Americans is that they proceed from false postulates in their analysis, which inevitably leads them to false conclusions.
For the sake of propaganda, the Americans themselves came up with the famine in Korea, they themselves believed in it, and now these fantasies form the basis of the analysis. What result can you expect here?
Korea is a normal country. This is important to realize. There is no hunger or fear, people are happy there. This is an advanced successful country that, in complete solitude and under sanctions, is developing its space and nuclear program. Few people in the world have been able to achieve such success. Even among Western countries that love to boast about their imaginary successes and supposedly advanced systems, only 2-3 countries can boast of such achievements; and these countries are centers of colonial exploitation, owning almost all the resources of the world.
Another mistake of the Americans is to divide the world into friends and enemies.
China, Korea and Russia are neighbors. Among neighbors, it is logical, reasonable and beneficial for everyone to maintain good relations, cooperate, and help each other overcome difficulties. Nobody wants to have bad neighbors who cause nothing but trouble.
If the United States did not dominate Mexico and other countries in the region, but cooperated and helped them, it would be good for everyone, even the United States itself. They would not be able to dominate and suppress, but people would live better.
As for the attempts and desire to quarrel between neighbors, this desire itself is the definition of evil.
This fella through his writing published by the neocon journals believes America owns the world……just like Victoria Newland and the rest of the gang….aka neocon globalists….
Got to clarify some parts where you may have slipped sir: – There is no "Taiwanese president". The post is called President of the Republic of China. You call him "Leader of the Taiwan area". – Taiwan is not a nation. It is a province of a nation called China.
The Neocons in the United States and Europe, to propagate the sale of weapons by the MIC, will use any means possible to provoke the PRC, hoping that that provocation will lead to an armed conflict. These Neocons are the enemies of world peace and must be sidelined quickly. The PRC only wants to do business with the world.
Wrong, the ones that have the pan by the handle is Russia simply because they are self sufficient, China is not, by the way those that saved the five throats dam when it was about to break and flow a 1/4 of China? Russian Ingeneers, I follow that work daily. Is China self sufficient in plain fabrication? it depends from EU.
The only rogue state is America. The one who plunders, overthrows democratically, elected governments, assassins and blackmail officials. So theve decided to move on from your so called “rules based order” and no amount of poisonous carrots will be accepted. Give them them to the EU. And Canada 😂
Great guest! What I’d like to hear explained by someone is, what are the great benefits that offset the negatives for the u.s. in pursuing and continuing this war, both realized and realistically potential? I can’t steel-man an arguement in favor of u.s. Ukraine/russia policy from 2014-present and I don’t believe anyone can. Given this fact WTF are we doing? I’m so frustrated trying to understand why our gov chose this path.
This guest is full of hubris. It is not Russia that is a rouge state, it is the USA that is rogue and a state sponsor of terrorism and interference in the domestic affairs of every other nation on the planet.
Thank you for having Lyle on today. Learned so much. He is a real expert, in an Internet full of people who don't know a fraction of what he does , but proclaiming all kinds is opinions. Please have Lyle on again soon Danny. Many thanks.
Truth be told, the Republic of China (RoC) IS independent! Problem is, it's still in an unfinished civil war with the People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Mainland and until both sides agree to end the war or one side gives up the ghost, RoC is still independent. The problem for RoC is UN and vast majority of nations on Earth back the PRC as "China" and not the RoC. The question for RoC and its supporters is do they really want to see resumption of the Chinese Civil War, one that will either end quickly for Taiwan's "democracy" or end with great powers conflict? One thing I'm certain is the PRC will not give up its claims on Taiwan, and RoC has no delusions about that. Neither should the Beltway Blob.
On culture differences between China and Japan in militaristic affairs, Japan glorifies its samurai ethos while the traditional saying in China is "you don't use good iron for nails nor good men for soldiers." China doesn't have a 'warrior culture' and hasn't had one for thousands of years.

Yeah, S. Korea is so powerful that it's still occupied by the US military 🙄
Great video. Thanks

This Goldstein is another necon…..just like Wolfowit, BIll Krystol, Victoria Newland, his husband, etc.
This fella through his writing published by the neocon journals believes America owns the world……just like Victoria Newland and the rest of the gang….aka neocon globalists….
This guy is not articulate and cannot express himself…
These guys are all Russia and China experts…..oh yeh…

Taiwan is a nation now?
