If you're looking for that 35 bag umbrella and all that, keep your locks with this UNase podcast. You are what's going on people. Of course, it's this UNAMT here. You are listening to the UNAMT Podcast.

I hope you have a fantastic week. You're probably wondering why on Earth I've seen another UNAMT on my feed and why UNAMT is not a sack on them all. So they're both kind of the same reason you should have been hearing some ads in your podcast. I hope you can trade them.

You're going to be hearing more because young, they'll get paid. You know what I'm saying? So the longer you listen, the better for me, you should have me get the ads up. And of course, if you're listening to this on Spotify, please, please give us a 5 star rating.

If you're listening to Apple, please give us a 5 star rating. It takes a second. And I'm sure that you'll listen to this on a 5 star podcast. Alright, that's it.

Me and my sound engineer, the guy, the legend that is on Jay's. So give us a shout out by giving us a 5 stars. And if you think it's less than obviously giving us, it's your opinion. I mean, let's make this as accurate as possible, but it's 5 stars, I'm saying.

So yeah, because we've moved on to a different platform, this is the tech side of things. It does not upload in our pods. It will no longer be on SoundCloud. I'm sorry for you, I sound like a listener.

But Spotify, it's just for free on Spotify. You have to sign up to P. If you don't want to, I probably shouldn't say that for sure. But you also listen to this on Apple Podcast, which is free on your Apple phone and your other player.

Now, how is it going to go from now on? You're going to get your standard disoxied podcast dropping midnight or Monday morning. You know what I mean? As usual, we're going to get a second one that should be dropping Thursday midnight.

And the housing goes on like this usual, dropping on a Monday and then more of an opinion piece. I say, please, because I've got a podcast on the first day because I kind of struggle in keeping my opinion on things which I know people want to hear and issue so they whether they disagree or agree. And also trying to give deliver objective insights to certain topics or to introduce people to new topics, do people new things. So, why don't you do both?

Do you know what I mean? So this week, I'm going to talk about my opinion on should we interfere in other countries with a cost of foreign policy. Now, sometimes, how should I do something free styling? Sometimes it could be an opinion of the rest of the years.

More than not, I might have somebody who shares opinion on his degrees or has further insight on that I might not have. But yeah, just going as genuinely, we'll work it out. And I'm pretty sure that we've all have a pod that's probably going to slap anyway. So yeah, should we be interfering in other countries?

Hi, I'm Emma XM and listen to the Disanomics podcast because it's good. Yo, what's going on people? Disanomics here, we're talking opinions, we're talking foreign policies, should we be interfering? Now, what I mean by this?

Well, what I mean by this is should a country, let's take the UK, I'm based in UK, I'm based in London. Should the British government, should borrow shots and need a current prime minister, as I'm recording this, in case you're listening to this, which I've been for years now, hopefully he's got that in. Should we be getting involved in Syria? Now, current crisis after time is Ukrainian and Russian crisis.

Should we be getting involved in Ukraine? Should we be talking to Iran? Should we be getting involved in North Korea's operating speech? Should we be doing this?

Now, so my overall opinion is more often than not, I don't believe that a sovereign country, like the United Kingdom, that UK should be interfering in terms of, okay, let's start it back. What is an appropriate level of interference? Should it go above the diplomatic? Should it get into sanctions?

Or should it get into the literal military interference? My first thing is, where do you draw the line for an issue you interfere with? And should you, as a sovereign nation, do you have the rights to go to another sovereign nation and determine what they're doing is wrong? Now, that's why it gets a bit dicey, and that's why it becomes more philosophical than anything.

Because we have seen several times in history, certain countries may have dictators, and are doing very, very mad things to people. We've seen Stalin literally starve to different minutes of people. We've seen genocide in Eastern Europe, we've seen genocide in Africa. We've seen genocide in Asia, we've seen crazy, crazy things.

When do you interfere? What is the ground for interfere? What is the problem? How do you quantify or how do you calculate, determine when you interfere?

That's what I've always struggled with. My default stance is, my foreign policy is probably a lot closer to Jeremy Corbyn than it is to maybe Boris Johnson or somebody else's. I don't believe he should interfere most of the law. I don't go quite as far as Corbyn and believe in that you should get rid of our nuclear capacity to whatever degree, because you need to have burners, you need to have big guns, you need to have the machinery, you need to have a potent army.

Why? Because if you do, what happens to Ukraine right now will not happen, bro? Imagine buying your kidda toy only to find the batteries aren't included, or buying furniture, but missing the tools to build it. Frustrating, right?

Now imagine the exact same feeling, but you're paying way more. That is what buying business software usually feels like. Fragmented, disconnected, and incredibly expensive. Odo completely changes that.

Of course they fucking would. We literally saw twice in a space of 34 years Germany invade France. There's a reason why people don't try certain countries. It's the same in everyday life.

It's very unlikely somebody's gonna try to take on anti-Russia with a fight. They're more likely to take on somebody who's maybe like five foot seven, a bit scrawny, doesn't look very intimidating. Why? Because percentage chances of success are a lot higher if you tackle this kind of meek and meek scrawny looking man than a six foot six, intimidating to many world champion heavyweight boxer.

Why? Because one, you probably have a good chance to win. The other person's by the time you wake up, you find out even in criminal for five days. And the same with geopolitics.

You're less likely to try take on Russia than you are to take on Cyprus, for example. So it's very important to have a level of weaponry, defense and reputation. Hence why the UK should always have nuclear weapons. They should always have one of the best on the world because it protects you.

You don't want to be a country like Taiwan or Ukraine who are in danger or be effectively annexed by Russia or China. So that's what my philosophy is. Make sure you're able to protect yourself from your malefuckers. By the same time, I don't think you need to be going into other countries to do business or to other countries what to do or say what countries deserve to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have.

That's where I stand. However, as a human, I don't believe that we should stand and watch countries like just kill off a particular type of ethnicity or just overall like human rights violation, just brutality. I think that's wrong. I think that's wrong.

But I do believe in diplomacy. But then again, how do you, if I'm not saying, I don't care what you're not saying or the stories about me whipping people that disagree with me in the media, me basically taking over the media and making it basically a talking piece for myself. They're being no real voice for people and rigging elections or making that I can never be out of power. How do you do that via diplomacy?

Because often these nations will be like, that's what happened in that's all that's fake news or whatever was my country. How do you do with that? Even when you hit people's sanctions and for those who don't know, sanctions are measures imposed on a state group or individual as punishment for certain actions. They are like different types of sanctions.

One we see often are economic sanctions where commercial financials penalties such as adding heavy import duties on goods, restricting your country's ability to export, just straight up refusing to trade. You might even freeze certain individuals assets. We've seen that in the UK, currently with Russia. There's also diplomatic sanctions, which are political measures that aim to demonstrate displeasure or disapproval.

So they kind of stop short of taking econ commutary sets such as reducing or removing diplomatic ties, like maybe get rid of embassy, you're taking embassy on a jail. And there's of course, military sanctions. These are military interventions ranging from arms and bargos. So say, listen, we're not even allowing you to have arms or purchase arms or airstrikes.

We'll shout out to full-scale rising-a-ting attacks. So those are free-taps of sanctions. So I probably should have mentioned the different types of sanctions or what they are before. So if you're looking at a diplomatic or economic sanction approach.

Especially the economic sanctions. Those tend to hit the country as a whole, more than the actual perpetrator, which is the state that is moving. So for example, right now, if we're slapping Russia with all types of sanctions like we're hitting them with the exporting of big-ass, we're not allowing them to- because we haven't gone all the way with some of these things yet- basically saying, yo, you can't trade, we're not allowing you to have access to swift payment systems, dirt, all types of stuff, where I just like, and I got banks access to you to the sovereign debt markets, all types of stuff. That's going to hit the economy of Russia, which hits the people of Russia, who aren't the issue.

The issue is that the Russian government, you get it. So it's very difficult to interfere in this manner. And often, these measures don't work that well, they don't deter said state or individual from moving in the way they're moving. You get it.

And then you've got full-on militaries dropping bombs on people and sovereign land. And I have a very, very strong, very hard time, deal with that, because what right do you have to interfere in the next man's land? And for me, when do you just have to interfere? I believe if you're going on morality, when you're seeing, let's say, in such country, eight is killing all the Muslims in their country or particular type of Muslim, or just killing bare women or killing bare black people, or, you know what I mean, that type of stuff, I think it's up for the world, the foreign communities, the common acts.

I would agree with that. But my issue is that often in this geopolitical world, it seems like it's always done strategically. So, yeah, we can see a matine going on in Syria, we can see a matine going on in Congo, or we can see a matine going on in Ethiopia. But if we interfere, how does that further our geopolitical agenda?

This is my opinion. Whereas if we look at Russia being like, yo, Ukraine, you can't join NATO because NATO is a defense, it's basically a defense gang, like a gang of men with weapons. That's what it is. It will set up during the Cold War to counteract the USSR, which is Russia.

You can't join the ops. In fact, we never recognize you as a country because really and truly, you know, really the country you've always been on, basically. When the truth is, if you look at Ukraine, which I probably should have put in my time before, the Russian people spoke for more information specifically on Ukraine versus Russia, yes, if you look in the East, one third of people speak Russian. I think something like one fifth of people are ethnically Russian.

But a lot of the history, yes, a lot of Russians, a lot of Ukrainians speak Russian, the language is similar, culturally, but you've got a lot of ethnic Russians there. But if you actually pre-day history, that was by design. Yes, they were, they have borders of Russia. Yes, as certain periods, they were one.

It's once a lot of mistakes, especially between the USSR. But if you pre-day history, Russia actually, like Stalin, lived, starved millions of Ukrainians, starved into death. And then there's been times when they have done things that effectively remove Ukrainians, ethnic Ukrainians from Eastern Ukraine, and then actually puts Russian, ethnic Russians in Ukraine. So naturally, you have this by design.

So why is it that the West determines, oh, we're going to interfere in Vietnam. We're going to interfere in Iraq. We're going to interfere in Iran. We're going to interfere in Cuba.

We're going to interfere in Ukraine. I'm not other places. So this is my issue. And my, in my personal opinion, you should not be interfering in other countries unless it is grave danger for innocent citizens that really and truly can't do anything else.

And if that's the case, you should be interfering in a lot more countries than we currently do. So even you interfere when there's more obligation or you don't interfere at all, you shouldn't be interfering to further personal gain, especially out of the purely morality-wise. If you talk about what's in the best interest of your country, then put it on the other side. The way the West does it, the United States, the German, the Germans, the right way.

Same way Russia and China are doing it the right way, because it puts your country in the best position. But maybe that's our government. I think it's already the West, where the UK, we've got our money, we've got to make sure we're economically patterned and we ensure that nobody can come and invade us. But I don't think you should be invaded in other countries or whim.

What Russia do right now is complete factory. What if they have legit invaded Ukraine? First of all, they invaded Ukraine in 2014. They keep saying that this is the world of the people, bro, 70% of Ukraine is disagree.

What happened right now is that in the nest and I forgot the other name, I forgot the other name. In two regions, in eastern Ukraine, there has been a lot of fighting going on between separatists and the Ukraine government. Separatists are people who want to separate from Ukraine and have close to Russia. A lot of the gist is it's been covert missions from Russia for years of arming these people, training these people, joining these people to cause these issues.

And obviously this has intensified recently, and what Russia did was Russia signed a decree that basically we recognize the nest and we recognize the nest as independent states. So they did this because now this is not Ukraine anymore. This is now effectively new country. It could be fucking, I remember it could be Singapore, it could be Taiwan, in certain countries here, Germany is now its own entities on country.

And what we're going to do is because of the ethnic Russians, they're in a madness, we have now got powers on parliament to go and send in chutes for peacekeeping in these independent states. Well really, these are not independent states because you said so. It's still Ukraine and you have effectively invaded Ukraine. So yeah, I'm all with it.

I believe I don't realize the way geopolitics is played out a lot of stuff even if you look at the history of World War I and World War II. Bro, why is the fight going into Cyprus and Africa because of strategic points where you could circle around and then put your weapons here on attack? I'm all with that. But yeah, people I wonder what let me know what you think.

I'm actually a hippie. Do you come and disagree? Do you think I'm going to talk? If you win a $3,000 a month payday for life, what would you feel free to do?
