This is a passionate appeal for peace by the former academic and Minister of Finance. After resigning from the Greek government in 2015 Yanis Varoufakis did not return to academia. He is now engaged in European politics as a visionary speaker, writer, and active participant. In February 2016, he launched the Democracy in Europe Movement and is active in the building, social justice and financial goal setting of the European Union and holds a parliamentary seat since July 2019.
The first clip is Varoufakisâ message for peace in Ukraine to the Progressive International. Varoufakis records from his kitchen for the meeting on March 9, 2022.
On Mar 6, 2022, the British comedian and YouTuber with a following of over 5 million invited Varoufakis for a conversation about peace in Ukraine. Russell Brand gave it the title: So THIS Is Why Ukraine Is Being Attacked and after a brief introduction turned the broadcast over to Varoufakis.
Varoufakis recommendations on how to bring about peace in Ukraine are widely supported in Europe. Since the future of NATO is crucial in negotiations for peace and there is so much disagreement over NATOâs history and the power plays in the background, this program ends with quotes from a twitter feed @RnaudBertrand. Arnaud Bertrand hosts a crowd sourced collection of critical comments on NATO under the title: How Western Strategic Thinkers Warned US-NATO over Ukrainian Conflict.
Strategic thinkers include historian, economists and politicians such as Clintonâs defense secretary William Perry; Noam Chomsky; and CIA director Bill Burns, and and all are backed by video or text links. The collection ends with then Senator Joe Biden who held a different opinion on NATOâs potential threat to Putin in 1997.
