    The struggle for mythical freedom is, in fact, only an imposition of the American point of view on the world. The goal is to overthrow recalcitrant governments to America. All this struggle leads to wars and the destruction of countries, the complete loss of independence and independence. The technology of color revolutions has been put on stream by America.

    LOL, “The war against totalitarianism in Ukraine.” Do you mean the orchestrated farce with neo nazis that allows the US to supply oil and gas to Europe, the military industrial complex to supply ‘lethal aid’ with billions in profit, while the IMF et al carve up what will be left of Ukraine after thousands/millions have needlessly suffered and died for the greed and interests of the 1%? Boris didn’t help ‘the war’ much when he stopped Zelensky from signing a peace deal in April, did he?

    I really don’t know why are you involved in this ,It’s not your business
    Of course women shouldn’t be forced to wear hijab , despite being an obligation from god to wear hijab
    And for your record , hijab is not just a headscarf , it’s more like covering you body including hair , to keep your decency

    You have to be fucking kidding me with this upload. US intervention in Iran at time of Shah which give rise to regime supported by people of Iran. A regime of cleric /whatever you call them which remained in power and gained popularity by preaching obvious message about which every iranian kid knows but then squeezing the country by sanctions which heavily impacted development of country itself from economic aspect and quality of life of people AND then standing with people of iran especially from West like you “people” even give an ounce of care/damn. Like wtf, seriously !

    And then coming to Ukraine, it is absolutely nothing but where a proxy war is taking place between USA and Russia. Like seriously ask yourself since when USA gives a damn what happens to Ukraine and their people.

    Audacity of West teaching us about what we should be doing and spoon feeding us like we are some Republicans who are watching FOX news.

    I just can’t . I am done here.

    Christiane is a thoughtful and compelling journalist, I hope she gets those interviews with the autocrats, dictators, politicians and oil execs that she’s asking for. I’d also be curious to see them spell out their worldview and see how the people feel about it. Leaders should be accountable to the people, they should have to sell their ideas to us for support, and if there is no support from the people, they should be removed from their leadership positions. Christian is an incredible interviewer and I’d love to see more of her putting “leaders” in the hot seat.

    Seems necessary to substantiate the relationship between political/personal freedom of people in Ukraine and taking back versus giving up Russia-occupied territory.

    This lady thinks she is an expert about freedom in these countries. But why she focuses only on these countries? Strange choice… there are many other problems. The question – who paid?

    I’ve been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it’s the best time to get started on the market. i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making well over $3.5M within a short period of time investing in Cryptocurrency.

    • Terry Pasca

      November 29, 2022 at 9:59 pm

      i agree, no doubt STEVE A KORDUCKI has really made a good name for himself. His reviews are so exceptional, he’s really a Pro. I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.

    • Alex Benjamin

      November 29, 2022 at 9:59 pm

      @Terry Pasca there’s a lot of money to be made in crypto. I been trying to stick with index funds. I feel this new interest rates hikes could crash this economy. I’m looking out for a better investing strategy, I have a lump sum that inflation is steady eating up. i need help.. How do I reach him?

    • Terry Pasca

      check the web and you will find him, drop a msg.

      November 29, 2022 at 10:00 pm

      I ran a quick check on Mr Korducki. he’s well regulated. His qualification seem solid with positive reviews, he seems check ed out. Also his services are available outside of the US for foreign investors. Is he that good?

    hahaha, idiots) there is no “freedom” in the west. this word was invented by the West in order to rob other states for their own enrichment. Biden and the Democrats came up with problems in Ukraine, sowed chaos there, and artificially created a split in Ukrainian society in order to use them against Russia and steal as much American taxpayer money as possible through supposedly supporting Ukraine. and the Americans are bringing their “democracy” to Iran in order to plunder Iranian oil fields

    There is no freedom in Ukrain, because Zelenski regime is destroiing all opposition parties. Ukrainian nationalism moved to the most aggressive level.

    That was not all the story of Iran. I’m living in Iran.

    Hijab was not a law after revolution. And the law enforced by parliament (Islamic consultative assembly) several years after the revolution. Not by Khomeini and not in the beginning of Islamic Republic of 🇮🇷.

    And Mahsa Amini died by a MI. Not by police. Police took her to a classroom. Not to the jail.

    Demonstration against that law was a street riot in the first day and now somehow a war. Probably with guns against police and people. We had a lot of police martyrs in this month!

    Say true story!

    What about the fight for freedom by Haitian people? Oh, they are fighting the oppressive government we support. My bad, I will just forget that and get in line.

    November 30, 2022 at 4:51 pm

    All the things you said about Iran, the president, women, our country, etc. are not true. When you don’t live in a country and you don’t live among its people, it’s better not to judge it. Let’s be logical, every country has its own law, such as America, England, etc., which must be observed by its people. Why don’t you talk about the homeless in America and different countries, why don’t you talk about the many problems that exist in the world. Why don’t you show the beautiful places of Iran and its good features.
    Please solve your own problems and failures, Iranian do not need a defender.

    People protest and the government oppresses people and kills everyone, even a 10-year-old child

    A woman I worked with years ago is from Iran. She told me to stay vigilant… if it could happen in Iran, it can happen here. Stand up Iran, stand up Ukraine, and here in America don’t get complacent

    You are speaking about human nature, far beyond just corporate press complicity. Which unfortunately you are a part, not as much as a FOX or Breitbart certainly, but what we’ve learned is that humans are still mostly tribal and therefore often delusional

    December 2, 2022 at 4:30 am

    With all respect, what is happening in Iran is a Revolution by women, why is she so cautious and that she is not calling it so but she calls it up-rising! Just disappointed!
