Jay also discusses the partisan liberal angst over the prospect of reducing the U.S. military presence on the Korean peninsula

Woah! A bearded Paul Jay. I can dig it
Thank you Aaron Mate, Paul Jay, and The Real News Network for having such and intelligent, nuanced discussion about this topic. This is why I get my news on Youtube.
Is Paul Jay a 9/11 conspiracy theorist? Wow, I think I love The Real News even more now. I agree that the media should be taking a deeper look at the MANY 9/11 coincidences. As one of the dopes who was naive enough to sign up for the military and saw what these disastrous wars look like first hand, I don't want to think that 9/11 was an inside job, but there seems to me to be too many coincidences to write off this conspiracy as just a crazy theory only propagated by tin foil hat wearing loonies. I would love to hear Paul Jay's opinion on this matter, but I understand if we never do, since expressing even the slightest doubt at the official narrative means that you will be completely shunned by the media and American public in general.
The peace stunt in Singapore is standard US procedure – legitimise a brutal dictator, ignore human rights abuses provided that there are some concessions for US corporate power. The Kim regime in NK has now been legitimised just like the Saud monarchy, the Sisi regime, the Hadi regime, the Duerte regime, Myanmar and the monarchies of the gulf etc
"""administration's war-mongering on Iran"" REALLY ? Before 9/11 Iran was responsible for killing more Americans , AND Iran was connected to the 9/11 attacks in Federal Court and fined several billion dollars .. AND Iran has spent several billion dollars in its asymmetrical wars against Israel and the US through the use of its proxy forces , Hezbollah, Hamas, fought US Troops in Iraq 2004 -2011, killing hundreds and injuring thousands with its IEDs and EFPs
Thank you Paul Jay for bringing up 9/11 as it should be done. Journalists everywhere should take note.
If you bring them home. What job are they going to do.
If Trump thinks he can buy Russia's foreign policy, he is sorely mistaken.
Invading and looting Iran is a pipe dream. Not going to happen. The cost of waging a conventional war on Iran will be so high, Americans will lynch Trump and his neocon buddies. If Trump attempts using nukes against Iran, Russia will annihilate the USA and everyone standing by it without any warning.
The only course open to Trump regarding Iran is to unleash the USA's attack dog in the Middle East, Israel, let them bomb Iran's nuclear facilities and wait for the fall out. But even that won't work out as Americans expect. Russia will introduce a resolution the UNSC calling for the disarming of Israel and crippling sanctions until the disarmament and withdrawal from all occupied territories is complete, while warning that should 5he resolution fail to pass the UNSC, Russia will attend to the task of disarming Israel herself, if necessary by bombing Israel to kingdom come.
Paul Jay seems to have one standard for his ideological political allies, and another for his ideological political foes. Shame, I had great hopes for TRNN.
Cudos to Paul Jay for speaking out against Korea-baiting and Russia-baiting. He GETS it! So should all progressives. #Koreagate
Maddow, and everybody else at (MS)NBC do not have full control of their content. No doubt the same elsewhere on corporate news.
Obama invaded Syria. US troops are in Syria. Perhaps US has secured its foothold in Syria.
Now what?
After Iraq, it was Libya. And then Syria.
peace maker? Crazy: Afghanistan,Iraq, Yemen, Palestine, Syria, et al very much war zones for the us and its cronies for starters

These "liberal" Democrats who actually seem to WANT war with Korea and Russia because their hatred of Trump is stronger than anything else, including their humanity, are sick. That, or they love the National Security State, largely because they – in media and in Congress – are bought and paid for by armament makers. When will the rank and file wake up to what reactionary hawks these people are? They're not merely aping Republicans, they're behaving like RIGHT-WING Republicans.
Admiral Stvervidis is a shill for the MIC. And Rachel Maddow is the hypocrite of the century.
What keeps Rachel running with Russia, Russia, Russia? $30k per DAY.
There never was a Nuclear threat from N. Korea. North Korea pledged to defend itself if attacked and including with nuclear weapons.
Another great video!
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Oh what tangled webs the US Empire weaves.
A sad day when journalists interview journalists commenting on other journalists, something usually privileged the "fake news conglomerate". Besides that Mr Paul 90% right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century
What is Rachel Maddow's stance on Iran, Iraq, NKorea – her pocket book. In March 2017 her annual salary was around $7 million and her estimated net worth as of 2018 was 20 million. Compare this to the median worker salary in 2017: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the median wage for workers in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2017 was $857 per week or $44,564 per year for a 40-hour workweek.
Are you on the side of Iran and Korea?
Isn't that odd that Iran act like adviser to Kim Jan Un? Why are you defending a criminal regime like Ayattollah's regime. What's in it for you?
Great job, thanks
The ME needs to go to this website RSOE and check out the amount of earthquakes that are happening in your area, when you see the amount of earth movements that happen on an hourly basis. You shall see that there is a huge amount of earth movement in your area. YOU know what your taking out of the soil is OIL, oil is a requirement to sustain Mother Nature. You cannot feel earth movement because your sitting on sand, when in that situation the movement are protected by the sand under your feet. ONCE the ME realizes the damage they do to their own land they will realize the OIL is not worth fighting for, you will turn for a more sustainable resource other than the OIL if your replacing oil with your water, your disturbing the water tables of the world, creating an imbalance on this earth, we will lose but some land will survive, you are on the cusp of all your dreams of being a saying that comes from way back, "MAN will destroy itself", lovely news. blah blah blah, I am not a rocket scientist, just look at the referenced site I mentioned above and be smart enough to look what each little white can be viewed but moving in on it closer, no big deal, overall earth is on the edge of no return, why fight against those that have money, money is made out of thin air, the US is polluting our ozone when it was in fact clearing up. blah blah blah means I can go on and on and NOBODY would understand what I am trying to say.
Trump was always focused on North Korea. He talked a great deal about it before he even announced his run. Trump has hawks around him to scare people into making deals. He wants a new deal with Iran. He'll make threats but will end up holding out better carrots than any US President really ever has. Whether he can deliver or even wants to deliver those carrots is another question.
Trump doesn't see the real long-term need for a forward military-presence. He thinks it would be better if the US were to build itself up economically (plutocratically) and have a strong military it can project from the US motherland.
True: Rachel Maddow is a neocon/liberal interventionist, US imperialist. She absolutely hates Russia. Russia could never do anything right short of totally accepting everything Rachel wants everyone to be forced to accept or else.
Always good to hear Paul Jay. One of the very few that says it like it is. You guys are the best.
Excellent video. I rely on this team for 'real news' and an understanding of our geopolitical situation. Honest, rational and thorough. Thanks again!
Israel hates Iran so America goes to war with Iran! When will American leaders stop being puppets for Israel?
bin laden and afghanistan did 911? paul jay really? come on guys, lets drop the bullshit about 911 already. we all know paul jay and aaron mate are infinitely smarter and more informed than that. stop bullshitting us about 911 please.
paul jay looking surprisingly good with a beard.
Putin told Trump to stop the war games. And he did. Research it.
Paul, Glenn, Max, Aaron stop making all us of us look like Rachel- anyone who thinks that this "treaty' is a legitimate, no-strings, dove of peace really should check themselves…( you guys are going to bend over backwards too far in, (rightly), criticizing the Russia hysteria and find yourselves being sodomized in perpetuity by Trump and his world wide klepto cabal.. )
Thank you for your reporting.
Zionist Israel must be So Happy that there is 1 less NUCLEAR POWER in the WORLD 😑😑
Trump can't bomb Iran off the face of the planet until he redeploys those S.Korea US troops to say, hmm, maybe Obama's temporary-permanent military base in Iraq. Wipe out the Iranians murdering millions with Assad too of course thrown in, and then, regime change in Venezuela to secure their oil, and then…Russia and FINALLY China. Once the plutocrats secure what remains of the world's resources, they can strategically release Neutron bombs, getting rid of us, the protesting riffraff, dividing up our lands and begin living like gods and goddesses in a sparsely populated AI world. (Well, at least that's what I read in a local paper lying smudged in the parking lot of a mall in Bayonne, NJ.)
