Seven weeks into Russia’s war with Ukraine, still escalating tensions position society at perhaps the “most dangerous moment in world history since the Cuban missile crisis,” according to Israeli historian and bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari.

Talking Crap
I am rather surprised to having heard Noah saying that the current conflict in Ukraine is the result of the actions of one man alone, i.e, Vladimir Putin.
If he is being honest, I think a person who could show a high degree of understanding of human beings throughout history, as shown in his magnificent book ‘Sapiens’, then he is definitely missing a great del of information about the real causes which lead Russia to intervene militarily in Ukraine.
If on tbe otjer hand, he is part of the propaganda machinery of misinformation to which CNN, like many other Western news agencies forms part of, then I have nothing further to add.
NATO is not threat to Russia. Who in the hell wants to invade Russia? No one in their right mind.
There is lot of blame everything and everyone except Putin in these comments. Putin started it. Ukraine was a danger to Putin..not Russia. A functioning Slavic democracy was a mortal danger to a little dictator like Putin. Freedom is dangerous…to tyrants.
A free and democracic Ukraine run by Azov Brigade ultranationalis Nazis. Sounds like a plan.
How many votes did the extreme right get in the latest election? Please compare Ukraine and Russia when answering this question!
Here’s the problem regarding “winning the peace – afterwards” – it is closely connected with the “situation in Moscow”. So, when you propose to assign the responsibility for the development of this situation on the people of Russia, the future of “peace for Ukraine” automatically becomes dependent on the same people who have already demonstrated the inability to prevent the annexation of Crimea, the hybrid war in Donbass and the full scale invasion nowadays. Thus, it is unlikely that the Ukrainian people share your opinion on the appointment of responsibility for the fate of the Moscow regime.
@Kilovatio What a skill!!! A lot of words, but not a single one is even slightly substantiated. Plain water. Who do you expect to get caught on your sermon?
@romvitu I cannot be blamed for your clear lack of consciousness. Those with it can immidiately understand the implícit substance contained in my arguments. For obvious reasons I cannot give detailed ‘lectures’ in this kind of plattform
Yeah….Raise that , ‘ Regime Change In Russia ‘…..spiel . Ye a a ahhh……now is a good time…..to put that ldea ..up in the media…..!
Goodness me … of all the peoople Yuval became suddenly an expert on wars? It’s a sad joke – one can’t even laugh about it. And genocide what? Or is he talking about what has happened in the Donbass over the past 8 years? Or the intensifying of the shelling of the Donbass region by the Ukrainian army about 2 weeks before Russia decided to act acc. to the agreement with the Luhansk and Donetsk Peoples Republics? Why do these people’s lives not count? They’re not even on the radar in the MSM in the USA … and not much in Europe either. Our media are in tune with the US Gov’s desire to lull everybody into believing that Russia is the absolute bad guy and Zelenskyy is an angel in disguise. Disgusting!!
This is an US proxy war with Russia and the US Gov wants to fight it till the last Ukrainian. Great, eh? Listen to what Adam Schiff said 2 years ago in his closing remarks (impeachment of Trump). Listen to what George Friedman said in his lecture of 2015 (to be found on YT) – it’s all there. Americans may not know but we in Europe do … at least many.
America … you should first and foremost learn to respect Articles 1 and 2 of Chapter I of the Charter of the United Nations. *The second article stipulates the equality of all states and demands that conflicts between states be resolved by peaceful means. The territorial integrity and political independence of every other state must be respected. The threat or use of force , as well as support for activities against another country, is clearly prohibited.*
Zbigniev Brzezinski wrote in his book ‘The Grand Chessboard, American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives’ (1997): *“It is imperative that no Eurasian challenger should emerge that can dominate Eurasia and thus also challenge U.S. global pre-eminence!”* That’s what it’s all about – easy and straight forward.
Hehe russian bots. We see ya
@Svetlana Davydova Not sure where you’re coming from … why Russian “copypasta” although I love Pasta 🤣. I’m not even voicing my opinion – I’m just stating facts which everybody can verify independently with the original sources I put in my posting. Politics has IMO nothing to do with emotion but almost everything with facts. If one doesn’t know the history one can’t assess the present events and neither can one find a viable solution for all parties involved. It’s that simple … again!
PS – though I’m not sure if you were addressing me as I can only see 2 of the 3 replies 🤷🏻♀
@Svetlana Davydova Oh sorry – you’re another one of those paid trolls 😅. I didn’t click. Naturally one can’t expect that you know history or should be able to independently and from neutral sources verify what I’m stating … or pointing out where I’m wrong and providing equally independent sources. In discussions this is called intellectual honesty. But yes, I can’t expect this from you. No harm done and good luck with your “job”.
US and NATO’s stated objective is “to weaken Russia.” This is not the same thing as defending Ukraine. Ukraine may not be in NATO, but NATO is in Ukraine. NATO is not sending an army, but NATO is fighting Russia with Ukrainian lives. The sad part is that US and NATO are fighting Russia to the LAST UKRANINAN. If US and Russia gets into nuclear war, guess who benefits? China.
“US and NATO’s stated objective is ‘to weaken Russia’.” Is it? Is that what NATO is for? Where was this stated?
Thought he was an intelligent guy 🤔 Deep down just another warmonger, spokesperson of the universalist
You are 100% correct!!!! We must be MORE NTELLIGENT tan insulting anyone at a high level. Yoval, you are spot in!!!
He is apart of WEF he is a dangerous person
@Katarina Johansson Very dangerous.
You’re from the ME, was America held accountable for its crimes? If Putin is going to the Hague, George Bush and Tony Blair will be tried first
They don’t much sicker than this fool. Outside of the fact of his total evil dead soul he will one day die and see clearly his stupidity and start his everlasting sentence in the very pit of hell
You donde’t understand. Ukrania is not the threat. It is the US and NATO who are using Ukraine ss a Scape Goat.
Ruscism is the biggest problem the world faces today.
This guy is dangerous.
If there are {NUKES SET OFF}, I know where it might be a good place to do it, it’s wherever {Yuval Noah Harari is sitting}, this guy is another {SATAN BUT HE IS LIVING IN THE FLESH}? I am {STUNNED} how {ANYONE COULD BE SO DEMONIC & SATANIC POSSESSED}. God Bless
Russians did that themselves: They dont need Putin to do that Yuval. Look at its history and the Genocides they made there.
Dear Harari, Are you trapped or blackmailed that you are talking about current affairs rather than history? Why, we still love you! You are not only not adequately equipped but also ill-prepared. Every sentence you had spoken had a thousand bullet holes. Finally, why do you support neo-Nazis , I don’t care whether you are a jew because people during the holocaust were labeled so that they could be harassed or killed , be them jews, romanis, prisoners of war , partisans or simply women! A person however remorseful can’t undo and make up for past wrongs but a nation or a group of people can because community endures while a common simply dies. Where have all the ethics of sensational new vision espoused in million dollar booksellers have suddenly withered away? Glorious vision of grand human society, except the Russians, ahh! Russia is a huge country with enormous natural resources, though you borrowed depated McCains phrase of ‘ a gas station with nukes’! How many nobles laureates, world renowned musicians and writers, your study of history seem to have not come across until a ‘war and peace’. There is general saying, rather an advice to every conqueror in Europe – never go east, never wage a war against Russia. As a Historian, you know better. Please practice some ‘ vipasana’ and come back strong for peace. I would not say Russia is wrong but that war is too uncivilized in 21 century. Peace and love, brother.
You’re like Mafia when you make irrational speeches filled with emotions about what AI producers will do and radicalizing the public against them Yuval. Thankfully Noone speaks English here they only have fake diplomas and certificates or they would come in front of my house too. After your radicalizings.
Putin hasn’t done anything that Russia hasn’t done to Ukraine in the past. Though now Ukraine has the most of the world on it’s side, so maybe the history may change this time.
@Artemisia I’m actually Ukrainian, so kind of a strange answer about my democracy. But whatever. What it has to do with the topic? You mean that it’s a good excuse for a rapist or a killer that there are other rapists and killers that had done the same?
I am not on Russian side. I feel sorry for all fathers and brothers who are dying in Ukraine but your statement doesn’t have weight because west doing the same thing to other nations and thats ok with you I guess because you are not from Iraq you are from Ukraine.
So naive until the sneaky point. Seeding hatred was invitation in NATO all over the Nazis and ethnical issues which is treaty exactly made against SSSR and kept its hostility further by breaking primar convention 5 times, and not only ignoring or rejecting all the previous Putins tries to build a diplomacy for a fair peaceful world(such as 2000th suggestion to join NATO and policy represented by his speech in 2007th) but breaking international laws multiple times and ignoring responsibility aftetwards, and all the hostile media propaganda during years back plus excesively hostile attitude which has reached pin point with Biden and his administration
This man is a sociopath who wants to do away with humanity as we know it, WHY would anyone listen to him?
The key question for humanity to solve is: How can we avoid & stop single figures to become so powerful they can plunge the whole world into chaos?
Hahahahaha. The democrat party is not a single figure.
Not necessarily ALL the figures. And this ‘problem’ as you put it, is simply the natural condition of the Hmo Sapiens who, like any other gregarious animal species base their organisation and stability in their leaders. Some are more monolitic (one-leader) than others.
But Sapiens’evolution appears to point towards a gradually more collective leadership. It will still take a long time for this to be stablished as a general organisational characteristic within the Sapiens. Nonetheless, alongside this process of evolution profound socioeconomic and political changes take place. Moreover, these transformations are already happening. This is an undeniable sign that evolution, i.e., change, is, like anything else in the universe, an intrinsical characteristic of the matter and energy in all their different forms of existance which the universe is composed of.
@Tepezcuincle Quintero yes. IMO monolitic leadership is a key source of bad at least in government.
God, how many putin-sponsored pro-Russia trolls in these comments!!!
Holy mother, how many brainwashed w russian propaganda experts in comments..
HACK definition = to gain unauthorized access to data in a system
Thankyou
Yuval looks at the Covid as a chance for the great reset now hes talking about the ukrain and russia well bring in the great reset. this guy is a monster, a 99lbs puny monster.
Guy in the grey suit is Not human
15:42 What about Palestine
What about Ukraine
Do you know what whiners get, Ali?
NOTHING
From the man who says that: “the whole story about the resurrection and Jesus being the son of God is fake news”, that “a man having a soul, a spirit and free will is now over”. This is Klaus Schwab’s advisor who just signed an agreement with Guterres to speed up the UN 2030 Agenda. Let’s note that Klaus Schwab is of Khazarian origin, the son of a Nazi collaborator who used slave labor and helped the Nazi efforts to obtain the first atomic bomb – THE FACTS – Guy Boulianne: author, publisher and freelance journalist.
Harari needs to study and learn the fundamentals of geopolitics 101 before starting to blabber none sense, and CNBC wastes time listening to this charlatan pretending to be an expert on international relations ? It’s time he comes to Columbia University and sees what monumental Professors like Jeffery Sachs and others can teach this guy.
Seem that nuval only eat one sided information. His words is totally nonsense. Fail on acquire fact will lead to wrong conclusion. Putin just did, and now nuval.
Putin got hacked over hacked? So, what’s hacked ?
This guy is loony and part of Schwab’s WEF 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
This man YUVAL NOAH HARARI IS EVIL! He says humans are hackable animals! He’s evil. He calls humans useless
Take care of your business and peace will comeback
Defending after genocide
The world order no longer valid, 300 years enough.
The military spending was very higher in the belligerent west …. Not in the East where they enjoyed almost 1000 ys of relative stabilities with big nations like China , Korea and Japan keeping their frontiers almost as now ! The problem , seams to me , the western way of thinking ….. they bring misery and disruption upon the places the want to “ civilize “ .
i don’t hink it’s a matter of civilizing other nations, but to make them democratic and to respect human rights. It worked wonderfully in Germany and Japan. It obviously didn’t work in Irak or Afghanistan.
@Petra Ravn Russia contributed enormously to this effort …. Germany could not have been defeated without Russia ! Japan was not quite as successful …. Considering the nuclear choice ….. which is inexcusable
Genghis Khan 1200’ish? Or China invading Tibet, recently. Or some conflicts between Japan and China. Or some conflicts in the Middle East between variants of Islam. For some reason people like you ‘forget’ such events. Don’t know why that would be.
Action speak louder than words, what the leaders need to do now is send your army troops into Ukraine and close the war once and for all. Ukraine is outnumbered. Your hesitations and weakness will surely bring on the third world war with nuclear weapons by the end of this decade. Why wait till then than regret when it happened.
Turned out to be an Israeli tool.
When he mentions the approach of Japan and Germany after WWII to focus on peace and commit only a small percentage of their budget to the military, he FAILS to include the overarching and foundational presence of the United States in creating a space in which major power/high intensity conflict is mostly absent. The way he phrases it makes it seem that all a country has to do is act peacefully and it’s all rainbows
This guy is considered as one of the best intellectuals of our century. Who can be a intellectual saying platitudes?
@Jorge Gabriel S.P. Excaktly he sais nothing else than nothing . 🙄
The US has adopted a low intensity conflict strategy. Soon, this may changed in response to the Ukraine war. Expect the US to increase its military budget as other countries.
Listen he is the Antichrist people
There will not be true lasting peace in earth 🌍 until The Prince if Peace returns…the Bible is not a book of fantasy but a love letter to all of us..also 1/3 prophecy so God tells us what did happen and what will happen…next big biblical event is the Rapture when true believers will be snatched away to meet Jesus in the air and then taken to Heaven..tragically those left behind must suffer through the 7 Year Tribulation…don’t be left behind..Oh and by the way they will say that we were abducted by aliens… Don’t believe that lie!
Yugolavija 1999??????? and Hitler – NATO
Ukraine is a proxy for the West. France new president say Ukraine Neto membership depends on Russia’s willingness. Does this war worth for Ukraine ?
Interesting comment from someone in Israel – “no country has obliterated another country since 1945”! He lives in one such who did!
We are already there. And how do you defeat Putin. Only Russians can deal with him and the west is creating suffering for the Russian people. You. attract more bees with honey. The Russian people did not ask for the war. 🇨🇦
I have a question. Did the Ukrainians forget that Stalin starved millions of them in the early 1930’s?
We did not, Yuval did. And the number of bans on our language for centuries. Poor educated expert. We know it’s Russians and not just putin and we’ll remember
You are one to talk. Look at Palestine and Israel.
Putin has secured a devilish reputation for himself & Russia
This is the first time since 1945 that outsiders attempted to change international boundaries through force? 🙄
I suppose the Prefessor of History hasn’t heard of NATO bombing of Yugoslavia/Serbia to create independent Kosovo.
Putin is going to escalate this soon. He has to.
He has 3 choices:
1. Deescalate/withdraw and try to negotiate a face-saving agreement (very unlikely)
2. Stay the course, keep plugging away on the current fronts, and pray for a breakthrough or Ukrainian collapse (unlikely).
3. Escalate the conflict enough so that a draft can be instituted, and Russians can be sufficiently scared/motivated enough to support it (likely).
As of May 12, 2022, Russia just does not have enough men to secure the current front AND wage an offensive.
With Finland just announcing they’re joint the team, he now has an excuse (however poor) to launch a larger war.
It’s not the best option, but it’s the only one that offers the chance for him to win or withdraw without destroying his ego.
No. 3 is also unlikely. What would mobilized reservists contribute to fight except more cannon fodder? They are not motivated, they lack skills, they have a career, family, home etc. Most likely option is a long stalemate with eventual Ukrainian offensive.
I see usa congress as the main cullprits in sowing seeds of hatred, he is talking big shit… now all of a sudden he is an important voice of real “talk” because he is the main spokes puppet of wef. There was a peace contract before putin invade ukrainr, and zelenski puppet refuse tonsign, why is msm not.even mentioning it. It was to be signed by biden, zelenski and putin… and the comedian refused. This historian is not a political expert, not technocrat although his salary isnpaid by schwab… it sums it up. This war will be stretxhed out by the west (main players usa and the globalist criminals) to put humanity in further turmoil and poverty with the main focus in eradication of the middle class. This whole war is to distract the world from the crime of big pharma, noe global warmjng is to blame for.ecen the common cold, all of a sudden all these “pathigens and illnrsse” with ready made vaxxes to fill the gap. Criminals, and media on top.
So stop talking shit. Start by double check the lies of msm. Ukrainr on fire will be a good start. No one is even mentioning the 26 bioweapon labs run by the usa and funded as well.. come on! Use your frontal lobe. Since the covid scam, many people.can’t think critically, only monolithically. Due to mass psychosis and stockholm syndrome, due to msm lies.
Yuval Noah Sapiens makes perfect sense. I think it very important that Russia not be allowed to win their unprovoked war in Ukraine. We must not allow totalitarian invasions like Putin’s war, or we will find a world with nations rapidly pursuing armed military interventions instead of social development for their nations citizens.
On vous a bien lavé le cerveau …les accords de Minsk ça vous parle? Non sûrement pas..quand on a des alliés comme les état unis on n’a plus besoin d’enemis
Regressive autism on the rise😳
It’s not putin’s war,Russians hated us for centuries,read their literature, read history on how many times they banned our language, killed us in gulags and with famines. For centuries. I am disappointed with this level of knowledge
he says that we are overpopulated, so he LOVES THIS WAR. DEMON
“money is just a story that we tell ourselves and we need institutions to enforce this story”
little red riding hood is a story. it does not need institutions like a police and an army to enforce it. you may or may not read it. you may or may not believe it. it will have zero effect on your ability to live in the society you live in, no legal consequences, you will not starve if you don’t believe it
a story that needs a police and an army to enforce it is not a story. if you don’t accept money or don’t believe in it, you are excluded from any modern society. not believing in money is punishable by law, or leads to banishment from society
learn the difference, not that difficult.
No european country had ever even thought about attacking Russia that’s what Putin wants russians to think. The western european countries are peaceful democracies that made business with Russia and trusted Putin wouldn’t do anything like what he’s actually doing. what the countries of the European Union are doing is for protecting themselves from russian aggressions not attacking anybody.
No, t
He just wants us all to be hacked so humans can be monitored and controlled. Ugh yech
Yusal Noah Harari is a psychopathe friend of Schwab, Obama, Gates, Zuckerconnard, Macron, Trudeau, etc… waiting for their reward… He participate to the processus as in Germany some decades before… Propaganda, intimidation, etc… TO VOMIT
Very Evil Man
The Biden administration is sending billions to Ukraine, then it is distributed back to the American politicians. Perfect plan, playing off the stupidity of the taxpayers. All the world’s problems are all brought on by these freaks, and no one cares. This world deserves what’s coming.
The logo of the station is cut off: Looks like NBC instead of CNBC 😉
I have mixed freeling.Noah write in Sapiens that big pandemic and world wars are time of past .Book was written before 2020.
wether you like or not China is going to invade Taiwan and it’s going to happen soon
the reason why any country build it’s economy is to fortify itself against any form of insecurity. A military might without a strong economy will only last momentarily. China understand this and that’s why they have focused on building there economy first. Mark my word China will soon invade Taiwan.
God help us, this people hate themselsevs
This guy is so obvious he is such a satan worshiper that it is even impossible to think there’s something good coming from his mouth
Yuval Noah Harari – from the point of view of the Russian – without any doubt – nonsense of a huge size
Why would anyone listen to this dude ….speaks in broad generalities and make it up as he goes along …not qualified to spit ball on foreign relations ..
What? No Russian regime change as primary goal for west??? Putin is a perfect example of Hitler reincarnated
Did he suggest ,the climate is about to change,and if he had more money, he would do something about it?
What about Palistine?
You said it yourself. Everything depends on accountability!
Do as you say and things work.
Betray your own rules and there is no telling where you are headed.
You are completely at the mercy of chance.
And chance hasn’t been too kind to you. It produced a war so far.
What next?
The globalistic trumpet.
His ” work ” is a joke. His real job is with Schwab & the WEF.
This Guy is against free will and freedom he is dangerous
Is Putin les dangerous than Saddam Husain was to the world ?! What is the difference between these two ?! I like to ask the US president !
Pls prof.Harari ,tell us what is the benefit of Nuclear Bombs? Why people don’t ask the politician to get rid of them all ?
Well spoken snake 🐍 just like all of them. Them. Them. Them…
The fact that anyone gives this douche time of day is disheartening .he literally belueves we should have 0 freedom snd be spied in externally and internally and that people like him ans Schwab are the elites…he literslly proposes global tyranny and idiots are like…ohhhh hes so deep
This guy is wolf in sheep clothing, dont believe him and Swab. Green agenda is key to slavery of humanity
Dear Yuval, I have a question for you. Did NATO violated some agreements against Rusia? Best regards.
This person sounds like a raging lunatic. His ideology is insane 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Lets hope for good choices coming from the top leaders! Peace
Love thy neighbour as thy brother as thyself
A command that none have the will to keep
This guy is either a propagandist or a simpleton. He completely ignores the fact that eight years ago the US, using the CIA, backed a coup that toppled Ukraine’s democratically elected leader and replaced him with a Western puppet. And he ignores the fact that if the Ukraine became a full-fledged member of NATO, an openly hostile anti-Russian relic of the cold war, it would severely weaken Russia’s geo-strategic position in the world.
post who post you 🏴
Repent people. God is coming
☝🏻 *enemy*
War has making world think alternative
Prof. Harari is skillfully using history as a tool of social analysis. The US has adopted a low intensity conflict strategy or many years. Soon, this may changed in response to the Ukraine war. Expect the US to increase its military budget as other countries.
He’s somebody’s wife
Agree that if Putin wins, the established world order will be broken. That’s why the US will fight to the last Ukrainian. The US will fight with sanctions until the German/European economy collapses. But what does Russia lose mean? For the US the rise of Russia was a threat. The only “win” acceptable to the US is a repeat of the 1990 collapse of Russia. After the war ends the sanctions will stay in place. What’s not clear is will the US win the economic war, when China supports Russia.
This guy is a eugenicists and holds Nazi ideology. Him and Klaus Schwab Evil Nazis. There is no negotiations with Nazi terrorists.
