1050 – Comparing China’s and the U.S.’ speeches at Munich

China’s highly important global media outlet, CGTN, asked me for my comments immediately after the two foreign ministers spoke on Saturday, February 14, 2026. The contrast could hardly have been bigger. The audience gave Marco Rubio a standing ovation for his exclusive Western perspective, and many left the room after that – ignoring the Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi’s soft-spoken speech with a global or … Continue reading 1050 – Comparing China’s and the U.S.’ speeches at Munich

1047 – How to stop the Trump regime before we militarise ourselves to bankruptcy

I was delighted to be on London-based Anthony Fatseas’s WTFinance Channel on YouTube a couple of days ago. And below a nice little story about Google/YouTube’s surely innocent algorithm… Shortly after Anthony uploaded it and told me he had done so, viewers were met with the black-screen message below . It was never a private video. I mean, he has almost 50,000 subscribers. So what … Continue reading 1047 – How to stop the Trump regime before we militarise ourselves to bankruptcy

1042 – Fun to be on Bilibili and talk about Trump, Greenland – and world peace

Zyphyr is a Chinese academic, educated for over 10 years in the United States. He runs his own channel on China’s YouTube, called Bilibili. I’ve been told that he is followed by 4-5 million people in and outside China, but I do not know for how long; it can hardly be per day, but what do I know? Quite a few things are unbelievable in … Continue reading 1042 – Fun to be on Bilibili and talk about Trump, Greenland – and world peace

Jan Oberg on Russia’s and China’s national TV

Every few days, I was on TV in Russia and China – Russia TV1 and China’s CCTV – the latter as part of a much longer studio discussion and documentary about Ukraine, Russa and the EU. February 14, 2025 – about half an hour on Russia’s leading TV Channel – 1TV – a kind of portrait with lots of views on current affairs. February 24, … Continue reading Jan Oberg on Russia’s and China’s national TV

No less than 1300 Europeans and Jan Oberg are Russian “germs.”

At least in the eyes of some Ukrainians… I was reminded of the US pre-invasion designation of a female Iraqi scientist as “Dr Germ” when a friend sent me a list from Ukraine of over 1,300 individuals and some 900 organizations in 19 European countries who are…. Yeah, man! We’re all revealed as agents, germs, bad guys – in the eyes of Ukrainian free and … Continue reading No less than 1300 Europeans and Jan Oberg are Russian “germs.”

Jan Oberg at China’s global television network CGTN – “The Point” with Liu Xin Originally broadcast on November 23, 2023 Go to the video too, and see the very positive comments there.

RT’s “Worlds Apart”

A discussion with Oksana Boyko about violence and war where the focus is on principles, ideas, concepts and ways of thinking. A delightful exchange of views that would be difficult, if not impossible, to have in similar leading media in the NATO/EU countries. For once, actually, the focus is on how to think about peace…Broadcast on October 3, 2023. RT = Russia Today, the channel … Continue reading RT’s “Worlds Apart”
