Wars are raging around the world.
Many are pitting east against west, with both supplying arms to countries they support.
The United Nations has been accused of showing weakness – paralysed by vetos held by the major powers.
So could these global conflicts turn into a third world war?

American exceptionalism is becoming the downfall of democracy and has to stop. Defund nato, defund Nazism in Ukraine, defund Zionism in Israel/Palestine because a state should not be founded by a religion and eradicate the brainwashed "war on terror" mentality. Most western country's are multi ethnic.. and the proxys wars will create more objections and potentially conflicts within our own towns and cities
But what is the US doing what is all covered??? Why are not saying that??? Why the US needs to have army bases everywhere???
It’s already happening before our eyes the world is going through a war, I don’t know if you all want a public announcement for it to be named a “3rd world war”
These wars are getting 💩 who are the evil puppet masters controlling this?
The whole US is skrewed up in so many different departments.
Lucas could not hide his zionist inclination..
More projects less grow only speak rich
All killing needs to stop. Start talking and more talking and debating until some reconciliation and common sense, wisdom and peace and freedom for all. Conversation after Conversation ❤❤❤😢😢😢
It's should be camepariable not think more to be dission soon
Yes go home please USA and Isreal stand down and quit the killing. Everyone is special. Well most. You are getting other countries involved You are committing a genocide as far as I am concerned. Remember you past.
With Al Jazeera reporting there will be a 3rd world war.
Why scot is gaslighting like every Israeli Zionist does
Maybe decades ago agreements were made about no more NATO expansion but……………Ukraine has a right to decide if it wants to join into NATO. Thats ONLY up to Ukraine to decide.
Bravo Chris ❤
Scott you have to do your research 😅this is not the audience on this channel who you can mislead.
Chris Hedges 👍
Scott is a BAD listener😂😂😂
Scott a moron for sure….
It is truly surprising how poor Prof. Lucas' level of analysis is. He is oming across as a poor apologist for US policies and a truly poor analyst. It is very unfortunate for his students
With all due respect, prof. Lucas is a bit off in his analysis. It is true that the Houthis are gaining legitimacy but that was not their motivating factor. That was a byproduct of their actions. Similarly, the US alleged early attempts to reign in Israeli actions were lame propaganda measures at best
why is it that the only people dumber than the americunts are the brits?
Just talking will not work. Action works.
Money and power is what is causing war from u.s.and big influence
It is horror.
While I disagree with much of what Scott Lucas had to say his presence and arguments offered an important contrast. Dissenting voices always matter because they offer us an opportunity to challenge our beliefs. Group think, bias and rationalization are a major danger when discussing geopolitical issues with only like thinkers. This said, after rethinking my beliefs and trying to take Scott seriously I think he’s mistaken on a lot of points, especially Ukraine, but do agree it’s very easy to overlook nuance and other important details while getting lost blaming Washington elites for their aggression and incompetence. On this note, I think Hedges is absolutely correct about Biden’s inner circle. Blinken is a frighteningly out of touch and incredibly dangerous man. Few political figures make me cringe like Blinken. I see him as a kind of modern braindead version of Kissinger.
Chris Hedges is above this panel. But he’s so humble and generous with his time ❤
Scott sucks 👎
Chris hedges is a legend !!!
So much respect for him !!
Scott Lucas is a moronic Russophobic propagandist
The U.S. has to be accountable for is inactions in addressing these global issues as it continues its expansionism policies affect other regions of the world!
Rich coming from Russia like they don't regularly defy international law
Scott is like in the story of donkey vs tiger and lion presiding as a unilateral chair claiming the grass is blue. When your thoughts are fixated, intellectual discourse becomes meaningless.
Not if Stupid stop interfering in the war between Israel and Hamas .
Scott is full of it. Another paid propagandist.
This would be better if Chris was given more time to talk.
That scott is 100% à zioniste, man so obvious
Say it because of us and Israel adement attack in the middle eastern countries.if Israel stop this war on Palestinian people,no war will come.all oil supplying countries must not give their oil to this countries which is adement in counting their atack in the middle eastern countries.america should stop giving their weapons to Israel and stop attacking yamen.this escalation of war will not take place.its because america this war is gaining more violent.
This isn't pleasant for anyone to expect the West and Europeans to gain control over the Middle East solely for the sake of Israel. Let's avoid a scenario where it becomes World War III, as this should not be about colonization.
I hate this putin = voldemort thing these americans try to pull as if even saying his name is enough to call you a commie, what a wease;
Only the international working class can stop this from happening.
My goodness! This is going to end up as WW3
I recommend you search for people like Hedges who are capable of critical thought and adult communication.
Birmingham is full of Bull✌️ Gratitude Chris
This “Cold War” with Russia the us government is having is crazy… seeing as us companies are arming Russia with missile parts and technology…
Blah, blah,blah… lets go with what the Chinese guy said.
La hipocrecía humana en su máximo nivel
Scott should be in Fox News jaja come on!
