on demons what i meant the during the vision, they told me very, very, very difficult assessments. the decisions i come from well, anti war activist i a rosenberg is all of the view his country school centers on rendering medical facilities completely on usable for public opinion. unfortunately, if i, if were to judge from what israel has been doing the best been systematically destroying the possibility of, of living life in the gaza strip. and in the cases of medical facilities or other public facilities that are not have not been fully destroyed in the 1st round of funding. and then vision. we see that if the cost indians are trying to make use of them again, like find to use the she for hospital again for medical care. this leads to another

round of siege a funding executions and driving the population away from there it's, it's difficult to say what is real and is planning eventually, but it's, it's a pattern we're seeing again and again, i'm the but with the bomb beings and with the the land based invasions or keeping attention only is real, a parliament there has passed the so called all g 0 law, giving the government's temporary powers to prevent foreign use networks from operating. and israel prime minister netanyahu say he's, he will be the channel because it's helping us. the alger 0 harmed is real security, actively participated in the october 7 massacre and incited against idea of soldiers. it is time to remove the trumpet of hum us from our country. alj a 0 will no longer broadcast from israel. i intend to take immediate action in

accordance with the new law to stop the operation of the channel. like a tardy political as doctor ali. oh, how you believe benjamin netanyahu is specifically targeting l g 0 because it reports unquote. idea of crimes in gaza as this afraid ease of but you know, i mean the video is only take a rain. he doesn't want the tools to be told he wants to kill as a matter of fact, by uh, producing such a stupid a rule. he is telling the truth because the damage to the whole at the so far to deflect a lot of room with disease. does he, the husband is the one of his most, the one who is severe list to political headaches since the assassination over sharing a wall outlet. dizzy that's correspondent. the internet to by the,

by this time is like, it is very you to the country that's uh, a dizzy of that. not that freedom. 530. 0, but i guess that was the bank and the euro. is that i'm, they, there is that i the re a who killed a children a woman. a it'll be for what and gold the blood they are that are you to the rest of the world. not just of them either east to now are the u. k. of sweden in particular, mobilizing for war with russia. that's the direct question us approach. next, my manila chub, and the latest episode of the modus operandi. stay with our teeth for the the hello,

i'm the village and you're tuned into modus operandi. as the ukraine conflict enters it's 3rd year with no off ramp in sight, many in the west are noticing mixed signals from their respective governments about how this regional war may soon impact them at home. from doomsday prepping to patriarch calls, to join the military. we'll explore some of the not so subtle messages coming from europe. all right, let's get into the m o. the vw, waco has issued a disturbing and warning to countries in europe. start stop piling medicines for new, clear emergencies. that message rang in 2023. and now by 2024

. the message is about stockpiling. every thing you can at home, basic medicines and medical supplies, shelf stable food, water, batteries, even candles. and when you read stories about celebrities, an ellipse like mark sucker borg allegedly building some sort of dues day, or nuclear fall out bunker in hawaii. you really start to wonder if perhaps they know something we don't. is there a cause for concern that expansion of the ukraine war is possible and just who would drive that expansion for more on this will bring in a geo political expert, glen d, as in professor of political science and history at the university of oslo in norway his newest book is out now called the ukraine war and the your ration world order professor. thank you so much for joining us. well, thank you from the new to. so i am seeing

a lot of tv commercials magazine inserts billboard, social media posts, articles you from all over places across europe, basically telling people to stock up on medicine because of forthcoming shortages, you know, just in case just in case. so i'll stop on the shelf stable food stuck up on water . be prepared. they say in case of what professor, i mean for me when i hear this, i think of toilet paper because you know, the great t p shortage of 2020. that was due to coven, but i don't get the sense that they're implying another pandemic will befall europe . what are they really saying here? listening to contradictory message? because on the one hand, we hear from many officials that there's no direct threats from russia, russia wouldn't dare to attack nato on the other hand. and we're also being told we have to prepare for war and the rush i could attack. but this is part of the,

you know, conflicting messages we, we get all the time and the, but i guess this hyperlink farrah warehouse some purposes for one. it creates more incentives or willingness to invest more into the ukranian war. and the assumption being that this uh, we can fight rush over there, then we don't have to fight them here. but it could also be a warning for possible future need to involved. again, this would be a speculation, but obviously the worst going us. we have planned and us is to create an army, begins to collapse. nature will have a dilemma defense if it's going to the once you create collapse and like said that this proxy or has been a failure and that defeats or will in a real nato. then escalate to by sending more long range missiles, weapons, or sending actual more nato troops into ukraine,

either officially or under the framing flags. and both of which could then spark of the rest of the war between nato and russia. so it's, it's so far it's unclear and if it's just to increase the support for the current for, or planning for the situation to get to more and moving more towards the direct for so. but again, it's sort of strange august. no one's thinking that russia will invade the no one us clear the said exactly what would be the point of this or the strategy. now, here in the states, we constantly hear mainstream media saying, put in, we'll just march into the you after the fall of ukraine. you know, despite his constant rejection and, and denial of this notion. and despite 0 evidence to support this claim that are being made by politicians here in the us and in europe, americans are split on whether or not to believe this. what about your opinions? are they believing this allegation?

well, i think they're also a bit split. part of it is because the narrative is not the consistent. because we keep saying that it's important to get to your credit into nato, because the russell would never dare to attach your crime if it was part of nato. on the other hand, we're also told one, so the rush was done with ukraine is going to march inter nato. so, and none of this really makes any sense of the content of both ways. you know, if we have a proper journalist with integrity, they would ask this question, which one is it there? but unfortunately, and no one's really putting forth a clear narrative, the main common denominator would be that we're being told, you know, we should say russia. but still we are more powerful, so it ends up not being consistent. and this is something that we see with actually over, at least over the past 200 years, whenever there's a reference to, to russia, events take one out of to use either it's hopelessly backwards or

it's an overwhelming threats to suggest ation. and we'll see this in ukraine as well. you know, the russians are stealing the toilets and washing machines. this is to harvest them for computer chips. but at the same time, they're developing a doomsday device in space. you know, they can't take a single village with a new crane, but still they will uh, roll over over your unless something is done. so it's, um, i think it's a, that has a deficiency in the countries can be considered a product of this very inconsistent narrative. so, but again, this is the, the narrative we have. the people are confused because the says, rushing, they did you claim that this invasion was provoked while it was on, provoke the russia simply looking for a new territory to him? if that's the case, it's an a form of opportunism. so it's there, unpredictable where it will go next. but of course if you meant to draw some for

golf, then you have to address other questions. to what extent did we provide help to promote kits and then you would actually have to deal with the idea that this of a peaceful settlement to this, which we're not quite ready to do yet. so we're still sticking with unprovoked narrative, which i guess, fuels a lot of this confusion. yeah, let's also not forget young adult and birth public. we said the reason for the russian invasion was the expansion of nato into ukraine. a look at the can. i had one thing on this cuz you said, yeah, no, sorry about that. this is part of the inconsistent narrative. because for years the nato secretary general of the of stoke burke said listen, and nato expansion had nothing to do with this more. this is just rush, i want to do restore the soviet union. and then when it's on a different topic is talking about expanding nato to, to sweden and finland. now, you know, he takes us victory lap and so, so listen,

the russians told us that they put a condition if, unless we accept their child for ukraine, they would invade because this was the main concern for the russians. no more nato expansion or will and made you prince. and he says, well of course we said no. and russian dated. and now not the same time any saying, listen, we a, the russians wanted less nato on their border. now they're getting more. so this was kind of the victory a lot, but now he's been saying 2 things. this has nothing to do with nato, and this is the reason why russian rated. so again, these 2 things can both be true. so ideally you, this is when a journalist would come out to say, well, which one is it like a stupid thing to contradict your things? but the, she hasn't been asked that question yet. so this fair monitoring over russia, the constant comparison between put in and hitler or russia and the nazis obviously world war 2, strikes

a different nerve in europeans and it does for americans. because, you know, unlike the u. s. europe really was getting taken over by the nazis, but it was the russians. and the soviets, who staved off the nazis, it was the soviets, who planted their flag on the right stuff. while most americans may not actually know this fact of history, europeans should know. i mean, you're a university professor, have the younger europeans forgotten about their own modern history as well. they should also strike different there for europeans because this will be the ground 0 or this was the center of the 2nd world war. and it would likely be the center of another world war if we would fights one against russia. but also we should have a better memory of history to get them that this was a more on our soil, lots in united states. and this actually interesting polls which have been done in france and since then the world war 2. and they asked the of this,

the respondents of who contributed the most of the defeat the fiddler. now after world war 2, you have a almost 60 percent confirming. well, obviously this last associates and then you see the decade by decade is dropping. and i think now we're down to 14 percent recognizing as soon as the soviet union, which is kind of quite astonishing because yes, you can have different interpretation of reality. but there's also an objective reality. you can actually measure was clear, observable, measurable indicators who contributed the most. and it's interesting that over time and yeah, it's simply a vanished reality objective reality. we don't give it a few more decades and they probably think it sometimes saved here from the fascist . but the 1st of the simpler references, though, this is not nothing new, of course, at least over the past 30 years. and every new war and the leader of the adversarial

country is a new reformation of hitler. so new loss of which was the hitler, a sort of the singles that hibler in that office that hitler put in. and some also referred to. she has a lawyer. and this has a but if it's a silly way of referring to, well simplifying the complexity of international relations and conflict. mean if you would explain this how you would explain politics to a child or a fanatic, which is like we're having a conflict because the other country has a very bad man rolling it. if we can just get rid of the men, we will go back to normal, see, you know, depriving or an issue of holes. it's complexity, embalming it down, simplifying it to that extent. it's a, it was dangerous and also put it into the category of propaganda. um, but again, this is often where we end up, it's uh, narratives a, again this court from canada, you want to do service thing to narrative good versus evil democracy,

russo authoritarianism. and uh, if i say it's dangerous as well. well, because the benefit obviously is good to mobilize the public if they think they're in the conflict with people, the dangerous. if you come into the people that we're on, the struggle of good versus evil, then you will reject a workable piece because now it gets evil piece would require victory. and the guess evil negotiations is a piece not. this also helps evasion more than a century ago by walter ligman during the russian revolution, when he looked at the british propaganda. but you could as easily apply today to the we're in ukraine where more weapons is now the pasta peace negotiations. and diplomacy is an evil which we should not even discuss. right. coming up next, the fall of 2024 may prove to be one of the most consequential seasons in modern times as americans go to the polls to elect potentially

a different president. but also, there will be shake ups in the european parliament elections and a new face will lead nato. we'll discuss it when we return with professor. when these and sit tight, the m o will be right back. the the motion of the nuclear love, seeing the muscles do if you look on the initial do while of course, significantly post on zillow, while it be almost getting used to put value when you do origin. but you also still, this is done, the newest frame only

begins sisters to good lou. do what i see these the bus is the little cute little dyson says this tutorial on bus. the take a fresh look around. there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power type vision with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just because it shows you fractured images, presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the welcome back to the m. o. m manila chan. let's waste no

time and hop right back in with our guest, professor glenn, these and thank you so much for sticking back with us. now speaking of nato, joe biden has reportedly endorsed the dutch p. m. mark ruetta as the next nato secretary general. now young stilton burn term is coming to an end this fall in october, head of the us presidential election in rudolf has the backing of the u. s. is this basically a done deal? and, and what does that mean for the expansion of the ukraine war? well, i think once by now which is was reported political as of given the support for those to i would consider that to be uh, yeah, this is the only thing we need to know. uh, i don't think they are being switched to go against a biden's selection. of course,

there will be this argument that the everyone has to be consensus. everyone has to agree to. but as we saw with the even, you know, nato expansion to sweeten the congress like turkey or i'm hungry, who don't fall in line. the immense pressure come on that. so i don't say anything to anyone. seriously will oppose this. um, but the i, it will, it wouldn't surprise me. it didn't surprise me actually, who wrote on twitter more than a month ago is for predicting that's exactly the would become the next like the next middle 6 that are general. now i don't have a crystal both. i was merely reading deduction, media, and introduction media. they, they covered the future for the, for the day. you know, have to, you have agreed to step down as a prime minister metal that's given some very scandals. and then the dr. media reports how he was trying to get a new job for himself that he was targeting this nato. tough job in order to get it . he, i've made sure to is what's the best for me to set

a suite bowl criticism under the carpet. so effectively whitewash is relative on the side is also taken on a fiercely anti russian auster. and of course, joining in on the bombing of u. m. a, so this was kind of winning the approval and showing his loyalty to washington and then washington will select him to lead the other europeans. so this also with any, i think was quite predictable. that being said, i think it's 2 thirds of the europeans as well. the support is candidacy, so i think it's now a done deal. i've heard some chatter of compulsory military service for you states being discussed that with the fact to mean more soldiers for nato. meanwhile, french president emanuel, my crown, has thrown around the idea of this sort of independent, you only military force or this alliance. what compulsory military service be

supported by most european civilians. or, you know, this idea of, in you only military alliance. well, in terms of the compulsory military service, it is becoming concerned because as the europe is now looking to the prospect of war, who is looking now more and more likely. i mean, initially let's do training. so i suppose to 5, but the now that we're, we're running on the train is that it becomes a possibility that we might, that this where am i expanded? so the boy is johnson. here he made a plea to the, to the british, where he effected them to come to argue that they have become a while to fact and lacy to it just interested in the army. so there is a push now to how to re mobilize syrup and to this, and i think it could be possible for some to please warm up the public to the idea of compulsory military service as most of most of the country. so i'm good,

i got rid of it this, i paid my money to go on to develop an independent you military force. it's been, uh, it's been the for a while. and the reason why he, they propose that this just many reasons one would be, it's a, it's a reason for a further integration. and this is a problem because you can't really deliver and much economic benefits anymore. so what's going to drive forward further? integration? it's hard to make an economic arguments for it now. so shifting to the military scenario would make more sense. i think also there's an a desire by him for many europeans to be able to serve some kind of independence. and keep in mind that you for years talked about strategic autonomy, european independence. but as we see now that the europeans have become cut themselves off from russia increasingly to china. becoming very dependent on the united states. uh, which is causing a lot of concern. so uh, and the key instruments for the united states is coming for security dependence

into economic loyalty. so we have military conflicts with other countries. we will more likely be able to, well, the, reduce our a diverse vacation and become more reliable united states. so they have some purpose to be able to you army, but the i, it's, um, it doesn't have the likely, it's unlikely to succeed, i think. and it would also contribute to the current trend of making, the less the civilian force and more towards the so called geo political or militarize the structure. now lastly, on the title of your new book, the ukraine war and the your region world order. explain that title to us and perhaps your outlook for the conflict in, in the months to come. well, i argue that the, the, the ukraine warner percent something much larger than merely approx or in your, uh, because, uh, and you hear this rhetoric coming from both sides. both the well once on the rest

of the congress and russia, talked about this as if it would be a shaping that i will order. and i think the do this cause is correct. we're currently part of the kale, swearing and most conflicts uh today. or to a large extent, the products of our shifting world order. after the cold war, we had a world order based on the polarity. that means one central power, which was due, not a states, and this is how the world was going to be organized through us global primacy. beautiful art is no longer a reality is reality in terms of the power distribution. you see now multiple r t. how so, what are the emerged and it's manifesting itself. but we're in the middle between the 2 orders. we haven't, we have less beautiful r t, but the multiple parity hasn't really cemented itself. and for this reason, the us would like to pull the world boxed unit polarity while they're in a rush out china, in the most of the world. what 6?

yeah. most of the with outside middle that is, would like to see the world pushed towards multiplier to. and i think this is a good way of standing the crate in worse worldwide. both sides are prepared now to risk even nuclear war, as if the, if native would win this war and russia would be broken. and also that's what we can significantly china, and this will be the what will the strength and the, the unit fall or order. on the other hand, if the russia would succeed, then we would likely see multiple are to emerge. and this is also the, the message i get from people around the world. the various leaders around the world are saying, you know, we don't necessarily support process for against the ukraine. but the, if we, if for nato defeats rush out of the world will really be unbearable. eh, at least the west would be unbearable if they will then try to act as a uniform, a collective hedge them on again. so. so this is kind of the world order we're

currently in. and of course this also explains a lot of the conflicts with iran and china, etc. now, um, i argued that the new world we're coming towards is not just multiple everybody. so you ration multiple are to so different than what we had in the past. us to describe powers from china, india, russia are seeking to integrate the racial continent in order to lay the foundations for the full set amount of quarter in terms of a so the costs of the months to come. i think this is the yeah, quite the important time for all of humanity in the most to come because the way i see it on the battlefield. nato and ukraine is listening. this just objected reality is a war of attrition. we've lost and your friends lost this manpower this. so no more . the weaponry that munition even natal admitted the we emptied our storage and the premium appears to be a for in the army appears to be moving towards collapse,

which is also fueling political conflict. so this is why we're in a dangerous point in time. now ukraine lights, if it collapses, what is, what are we going to do? or we're going to send in a snail going to join to call select. and we're going to fight russia, which will very likely end up in a nuclear exchange. or we're going to try to find some kind of a peaceful settlement or just watch your grand collapse. and there's so much there's so much dependence on this. again, the future of the world order, so you should expect countries to great powers to be willing to take huge risks, even though it's difficult to predict the consequences of the. again, this is why it's a, yeah, extremely dangerous of war. and the absence of any diplomacy and negotiations is so dangerous, glen, this and professor of political science and history at the university of oslo. thank you so much as always go check out his new book called the ukraine war and or

your ration world order. thank you. oh, thanks again for me. you appreciate it. all right, that is going to do it for this episode of modus operandi the show that digs deep into foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host manila chan. thank you so much for tuning and we'll see you again next time to figure out the m. o the, what is part of the is it that the employee would post good, isn't the deepest view of us and in the word part, is it something deeper or complex might be present? let's stop without glitches. let's go part of
