Again I red his book(s), 1945 - 1971 America had a surplus, check. 1971 -present we are in deficit, check. We spent the surplus rebuilding Europe and Japan, once spent, we spent everyone else's surpluses. 100% correct.

I would of loved to also listened to John Pilger and Julian Assange, all in the same room, indeed. Australia is so lucky to have great people like Yanis Varoufakis. ‘It is with great sadness the family of John Pilger announce he died yesterday 30 December 2023 in London aged 84. His journalism and documentaries were celebrated around the world, but to his family he was simply the most amazing and loved Dad, Grandad and partner. Rest In Peace.’ JOHN PILGER: Australia, the ultimate betrayer of Julian Assange. If Australia wants to preserve its sovereignty, it must do the right thing and advocate for Julian Assange's immediate release, declares John Pilger. “If Wars Can Be Started By Lies, Peace Can Be Started By Truth.” - Julian Assange "Free the Truth" - Free Julian Assange.

i think it's a wonderful thing when someone as well educated as yanis has the courage to say what he says - think about it, his academic work with his books + all of the history and statistics he refers to... this information is of such a high quality, australia especially needs this atm, most of our media is abysmal with using high quality sources to communicate anything, meanwhile here's yanis referencing literal centuries of information and research and sources and statistics...

Judging from the depth and quality of the questions asked, there arent too many journalists in the main stream media who has the intelligence or mental alertness like those I saw and met in the 1990's. In fact it would not be impolite or incorrect for me to label them as mental lightweights. Some were even so low in self awareness to ask questions or attempt takedowns at the super heavyweight standing at the altar. What a shame that some even digressed to his lunch, swimming pools and the pride of those Greeks living in Australia, as if he has been living in some dark caves somewhere on Aegean island.

Thanks for this video & thanks to Yanis for speaking the truth about Australia, blindly following the US. Since the Labor government of Hawke & Keating, which ended in 1996, successive Australian governments had become US puppets/lapdogs. As an Australian I’m ashamed of this. We are a sovereign nation. We make our own decision & decide our further. We should not be doing things to please the US. What has our government done to bring Julian Assange back to Australia??? Done nothing!! Penny Wong ought to be ashamed of herself. We should use the threat of closing the US military bases in Australia, as leverage for the release of Julian Assange. Paul Keating was right in criticising the government for committing $360 billion on submarine. This amount of money could be used to improve infrastructure, building homes for the low income earners etc We must not be fooled by the US, to go to war against China, regarding Taiwan. This little island is a province of China for centuries. We must keep out of China’s internal affairs. We don’t want to be fighting a proxy war against China on behalf of the US. Look at what the US has done to Ukraine!! Once again, I want to stress that Australia is a sovereign nation. We decide our future- not influenced or dictated to by the US!!

We must, as true Australians, NOT simply accept "Americanisms" into our society and culture. "Americanisms" like - using their mangled spellings of the English language ("aluminum" instead of aluminium, "gas' instead of petrol, "colors" instead of colours, etc, their "Yankee drawl" in pronunciations (which some of our TV talking heads are disgustingly trying to imitate these days) ), Halloween and Thanksgiving celebrations - which has nothing to do with our history and cultural traditions and so on. The virtual worshipping of the U.S. by some of our politicians borders on treachery against this country that they are suppose to serve. Our young should be brought up to be PROUD Australians - not influenced to be starry-eyed over the United States which many of our youths (pre-teens) tend to have when American movie stars appear on our shores. Sure, they can be respected for the work they do but to have our television reporters virtually fall on their knees and prostrate before them is sickening to see. Those Hollywooders are just movie actors, human beings from another country, for goodness's sakes! I'd rather pay more homage to our own stars like Nicole Kidman, Huge Jackman, Margot Robbie, and many other fine Aussie actors here and overseas. Our modern Australian history (since the first landing) is short - less than 300 years - and is not as chaotic and violent as the United States. However, it is still full of events in which stories can be created to make movies out of that are interestingly imaginative - if only we have story writers with the imagination to do so. For instance, why couldn't something more be made of the times around "The Eureka Stockade", of the families living and working in that period? Or of the many attempts in rebellion by the Native Australians? Or the racial riots against the Chinese miners who came in the 1800s (the U.S. made a TV series of a wandering half-Chinese shaolin monk based upon their gold rush period and called it, "Kung Fu" - out of virtually nothing but using the period as a back drop to some imaginative writing). Are our own writers so empty of any imagination of their own? Are we still stuck in our own "cultural cringe", ashamed of being true blue Aussies? Are outback Queensland or the opal mines in West Australia or the wetlands in the north so empty that stories cannot be crafted from them? Unless we swing back into our ourselves, we stand to lose all that we have as Australians and will indeed as some have said, become the 51st state of the U.S. as we lose our own identities and we may as well surrender our much vaunted claims to "sovereignty" that our pollies love to banter about but only when using it against other countries that are NOT the U.S. - which gets a free pass from our sycophantic weak-kneed political leaders from both camps.

Note too, what actually happened to the Whitlam Government that went AGAINST the U.S. and was the first to recognize China and went to meet with Mao and Chou En-lai BEFORE Nixon. The U.S. cannot bear to see it being usurped by a minnow in Oceania and there are lots of proof of the existence of "the Blackhand" of the U.S. CIA that plotted with the Liberals to replace the Whitlam Labor Government. Every time when there is an Australian government that shows any sign of moving away from the hegemonic controls of the U.S., you'll find it being removed pretty quickly and one has to ask the question, was there some conspiracy involving the U.S. in this? It just appears to be too coincidental - and when you have any Australian government - even the Labor Party - that shows obeyance to Uncle Sam, they mysteriously stay in power for extraordinarily long terms.

It is defying logic that China would invoke any war in South China Sea given its heavy dependence in trade and energy needs. There is nothing that China wants more than maritime safety and good trading relationship with Australia. It is a win-win for both sides, probably more so for the Chinese. Regarding Xi broke his promise of not to militarize the South China Sea. The sequence of events matters. Right after Obama and Xi met and agreed to demilitarize the South China Sea, it is at least viewed by China that the US immediately instigated and supported the Philippines to push the South China Sea islands disputes to the International Court, which was a poke in the eye to the Chinese. The trust was lost. Similarly, after Biden and Xi met in SFO and agreed to stabilize relationship and reduce tension, Biden immediately turned around raising more sanctions against the Chinese tech sector. It is difficult for the Chinese to believe the US would honor its words in this ongoing exchange.

and yet yanis still saying the chinese need the west help to free themselves from the Chinese gov. SO arrogant, so racist, as if the Chinese wants or need their help to live. You cannot take anything seriously when a person thinks 1.4 billion people who are free to leave the country and immigrate anywhere else in the world are oppressed by their gov. If the the definition of oppression is what the chinese gov do to their people then every gov in this world is oppressing their people. Can we live without gov?

Per the records of the US Ambassador to China at the time who was present at the Obama-Xi meeting when Xi made the offer (reciprocal) for both China n US to demilitarise the South China Sea ....it was Obama that did not accept this offer which also necessitated the US to do the same.... Therefore there was no obligation on Xi as it was explicitly not an unilateral , one sided offer. It was subsequently misrepresented as Xi being deceitful when it was the US that took offensive military actions in the South China Sea.

Yanis Varoufakis is an excellent speaker. I could listen to him for hours. How disgraceful is it that it’s legal for a massively successful company like Amazon to pay zero tax?

Please listen to Yanis advice. He knows what he is talking about.

Thanks Yanis it's always good to hear from you.

Yanis wants to ban cash? That is a huge red flag.
