As an American living in Russia now, I can tell you that if you have face to face conversations with people (not internet chats), almost everyone knows the news is propaganda. This includes all classes and education levels. If you ask Americans if they are under propaganda most people say no. Although the media in the US strangely unites around most wars

it's because our population is indoctrinated to believe that "private enterprise = freedom". so nobody views the media here as propaganda because they think "oh its a private company why would they lie for the government". People don't realize that those private companies are beholden to the industries that manufacture weapons, pharmaceuticals, the finance industry, etc through advertising contracts. the same people who have bought the government, which turns them into essentially a mouthpiece for those fascistic interests. it's the insidiousness of capitalism, large-scale oppression masked by the illusion of "freedom"

As a russian myself writing this comment straight from Moscow I totally agree. Every single person I know is aware of propaganda. Still I can assume that the only kind of people who thinks that they are out of the scope of propaganda he could have talked to are people who don't watch TV mostly consuming news from youtube and such. For some reason they tend to think that if they are not watching federal channels and news they won't get brainwashed. The other interesting thing is the definition of propaganda itself. I've met full grown up and well-educated individuals saying something like " I know better cause I watch BBC / CNN / some random youtube blogger and they / he is telling the real truth "

I am sorry for a lack of clear thinking from me about this crisis. It is too personal at this time, I have family in both places, and all I can think about is the fear, suffering, anger, and hate I see and hear directly from people I love on both sides. I constantly feel that I'm failing them and myself. I wish I was smarter or could understand the situation deeper. Please instead listen to people much more intelligent than me, for example the two I interviewed recently who give differing perspectives on this war: - Oliver Stone: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q5t107t8aK21gaw.html - Stephen Kotkin: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZJVrpaaEobrJipM.html

With how easy it is to insert spies in Ukraine? I appreciate that Lex is an academic mind who is an expert in many fields but the nuances, pros and cons of certain ways of waging war in the midst of a full on global disinformation campaign probably eludes him.

True. I think people deep down know they’ve been lied to when confronted, they just don’t wanna look like they’ve been played which is understandable.

It's always interesting to watch people talking about things they think they understand (in this case Russia, Russians in general, Putin, Ukraine, Zelensky), and completely miss the fact that they look at their conversation's subjects through a glass prism of their own biased views on the world. In this case, obviously, a very American view. Same thing happens here in Russia, when people talk about the US. I'd love to see Joe Rogan interview an American citizen and a real Russian citizen (I mean someone living in Russia, not someone like Lex who is basically American since 11 y.o. and therefore has a very distorted view on modern Russians), and see them clash (peacefully of course). That would be a very eye-opening experience for everyone I think.

Since he keeps bringing up India liking Putin, let me, an Indian, clarify certain things (of course I do not claim to represent all Indians and this is my view only). India/Indians have a historical liking towards American society (liberty, wealth, rationality, science, movies etc) but a simultaneous distrust towards their government (for their support for British empire, Pakistani and Afghani jihadis, apartheid S. Africa etc plus their constant need to put down our aspirations eg sanctions and assassinations for nuclear testing, interference in Kashmir issue etc). We may or may not like Putin, but we do support the Russian people and the Russian state for they have been a long-standing ally (especially for military/arms support, including their support for India in the 1971 war when USA+uk sent their fleets to enforce the genocide and mass rape of my people, the Bengalis, by Pakistan). Moreover, India has traditionally been in favour of a global status quo (as opposed to a unipolar world, whether led by either Russia/China/USA) that allows smaller, developing nations to have a political say/value, instead of being steamrolled by a hegemonic power. Ukraine itself aided Pakistan with offensive weapons. Hence, we Indians are rather hesitant to unnecessarily throw in our lot with the NATO. That being said, we do not hate/dislike Americans/Russians/Ukrainians, we love all of you + nor do we have any special liking for any particular western politician (though we do appreciate if they recognize us as a equal partner and show interest in developing a relationship with us).

And there will be a mythical story told to raise him even beyond the mere human that he was. Giving people a vision and a meaning which can last them for thousands of years very few people can do something like that. Him managing to create Tesla and Space X will serve as the real foundation that if you put your mind to it and work really really hard you can achieve it. That's what people want and need. We just need a good compelling story and if it's based on reality even better.

No mention of the Crimean Tatars who were displaced by the Russians during the USSR and again after the 2014 annexation. It's more complicated than there just being an East/West divide and Lex breezes over this. I hadn't heard of him before watching this video so no idea on his politics.

NATO tried to do the same thing in Georgia and Georgia lost Ossetia and Abkhazia ... they tried to coup the dictator of kasachstan which failed ... now Putin controls luhansk and donbas regions while ukrain is having a hard time not losing everything....

I'm from Moldova (have family in ukraine and russia) but live in the US now and I see the crazy propaganda every single day from all 4 countries. For years they were BS-ing about the virus and now about the war...

IMHO the best source of information is to come and see for yourself. I'm a sailor, so I've travelled around the world and seen some things. Last time I've been to Syria we had some main engine malfunction, so we had to stay here for a while. During this time we were visiting several locations. There was an event in a town we were passing by. US marines checkpoint was surrounded by locals and some of them were armed. People yelled and threw some junk at yanks. They were quite pissed at those USMC guys, probably not without a reason. Situation got quite explosive so marines had to get out of there. A week later in Tartus we saw several russian checkpoints here and there and you know what? People seemed to like them. I've asked some locals about what they think of those russian guys. One Syrian soldier told me a story about earlier time when they fought against ISIS. There was a small town attacked by a large ISIS force. The town itself had only few russian paratroopers protecting it for quite a while and they were completely surrounded and running low on everything. That Syrian soldier was a part of a relief force send to aid russians. They couldn't lift the siege for a long time and he was sure that those russians didn't make it. They dug in at some small factory administrative building, the whole territory was covered with bodies the building itself was almost razed to the ground. But to his amazement he found russians alive. There was a single guy still standing, most others were heavily wounded, those that managed to remain conscious were still holding guns even when they couldn't even walk. The remaining guy tied his squad with hand grenades and everyone there was ready to die, but they got saved. That Syrian soldier was touched by the fact that russians fought for his homeland literally to their last breath like it was their own. Damn, you can say all you want but I've been in that country myself and saw with my own eyes how locals admire and respect russians and I'm sure that you can understand why after this story. West treats those people like second sort and calls their home a third world country, on top of that US forces razed several cities to the ground. At the same time russian soldiers are ready to die for them.. Things I saw expose all that bunch of lies and hypocrisy we get from official media. I refuse to believe that russians treat Ukrainians worse since they are their kin. So if you want to know the real thing come and see it for yourself. By believing in what someone tells you're not getting any real knowledge, but only buy their opinions, as Alan Watts once said. Have a good one and may the waves be good where you are.

Do we actually vote for president or we vote for a figurehead? It appears like if we are interfering with Somalia for decades yet we don't have the same president for decades and that can go towards Afghanistan but yet the presidents change and things stay the same. They feed us rhetoric and they divide us just like they do with Thailand and China and Korea and even in Ukraine.

The “pro-Russia” vs “pro-west” divide existed pre-2014, but since then (after Russia took Crimea and entered the war in the east to Ukraine) the public opinion was decisively western oriented, which is the platform on which Zelensky was elected by overwhelming majority. The decline in ratings was consequence of failing to deliver change, but not because the population disagreed on the course.

A point that resonates with me is what Lex discusses at the end, with how the US prizes freedom but can commit atrocities abroad in the name of freedom. I think it's more pertinent to look internally. The US, the "land of the free", has the highest rates of incarceration per captita by a *factor of 3* from most Western countries; the highest in the world. About 700 in every 100k people are imprisoned in the US. In the UK it's about 150. Italy, ~90. France is ~100. And that's the countries ranked higher on the freedom index. The US beats Russia at 450, China at 120, Cuba at 500, Iran at 280. The land of the free has more people locked up than most of the Western world combined. That's baffling.

The USA is a lot more violent society than European countries, and although the rate of incarceration is higher there are many violent criminals who are not ending up in prison but should because of left-wing DAs. Ethnicity does play an enormous role in violence in society - European countries are becoming much more violent and one day may reach the USA's levels due to immigration. For example in Sweden, where 8 out of 10 convictions for rapes by strangers were by people born outside Europe and unheard of gun crime and explosions are becoming a daily event in immigrant communities. In the UK the levels of knife murders are rocketing in ethnic communities. If you separate prison rates out by ethnicity the US/European levels should be closer. To the person who says people should be executed - people are not executed in Europe. To the person mentioning imprisonment for non-violent drug offences, drug overdoses (legal and illegal) killed 107,000 people in USA, mostly young people, in 2020 or 2021 (can't remember which) - fighting drugs is essential to save an entire generation from addiction, but I suppose the war will be inevitably lost because not enough will to combat it ruthlessly enough.

Lex is always too afraid to do the research. That way he does not have to decide who is lying or just wrong and can pretend the views he likes the sound of are more correct. Opinions can never really be wrong unless they are based off of false information, and unfortunately most people refuse to look for the facts before creating an immutable opinion even in the face of new facts.

11:30 We admire self-restraint in leadership. It's a peculiar kind of strength that has fallen out of favor recently, but I think (hope) it will make a comeback.

Joe, please bring on Douglas Macgregor, Jeff Sachs, John Mearsheimer.

I’m dyslexic, but there should be some extra words out again for accurate information

After all the guests that Lex have had. He seems to have such a shallow and limited view of the Ukrainian Russian situation. Joe must definitely get someone who really knows about this crisis. But again, Joe might not want to get in to it for real.

Joe is interviewing him like he's an expert on the topic, but Lex is interviewing Oliver Stone to gain wisdom on the war, while Stone being an interviewer himself. This just shows where down the line Lex is on the topic and this podcast proved it.

When you read one article of news paper about half war/ half Russia and going to podcasts to talk about

Wars comes with a price, and the civilian's pay for it ....

Canadians living in Canada are some of the most brainwashed people on Earth currently. Trudeau has done an amazing job of becoming a dictator and beating down the will of all freedom loving Canadians. The good news is that he is evil, corrupt and seems to believe all his lies - in other words, a psychopath. Psychopaths eventually mess up enough and get found out, even by the dumbest segments of a population.

What a great analyst that closes his eyes to gather his thought and then wonder why Putin is so popular. Probably because he cant analyse a shit outside his American way of thought (?) or even think that USA has an NDP (near death president) and all other nations wonders the same

@7:35 Lex said "Zelensky united a previously divided country." Zelensky did not unite his country. The Russian speaking people of the Donbas have been targeted and warred against, continuously so from 2014 to 2022 when Putin intervened.

I guess Mike Baker's mind control tactics have bared fruit, because currently I cannot see anywhere in America an understanding of the history of Ukraine and Russia, and why we are seeing this conflict being played out at the moment. While we in Eastern Europe know full well and understand the situation, because we have been watching this cat and mouse story play out for the last 30 years. There is a ton of information on the web about the origins of this conflict, but a blind man cannot see.
