  • this guy should be president of USA

  • Finally a real person from the military is speaking.

  • Can't believe there even considering a war with iran.

  • please tell what world these people live in.they talk of how much it cost when 70% of the national budget is chewed up by entitlements,then they question why we need it,well its so we have the biggest guns in the world.these people are morons.

  • If the US is 12 feet tall, Iran is 6 inches. Well that's a very huge cock you got the America! I'm happy with my 9 inches.

  • Israel needs to stop being America's baby.. cause it is not!

  • Why does the United States spend this much? Because the congressmen get kickbacks from defense contractors to approve it.

    Why does the United States spend this much? One word. Corruption.

  • @ThamelasStormrage because it's the only field in which america has the lead :)) it's important to present the weapons in real conflicts ,so thus create wars so the war industry can test it's creations :)) ex my country want's to buy a new war plane between f-16 gripen and eurofighter ,we chose the aging f-16 because it's war tested ,remember 1 thing the world wich was destroyed by ww2 and poor countries by agricultural subsidies started to copete in every field but military.

  • Can someone please explain in simple-grade 1 English what's going on with Iran and the US? Why is US pissed that Iran has nuclear weapons, how is it their business?

    Please don't be biased in your explanation........

  • @sahme4 Because the people who run the U.S are profiting every time we go into war.The only ones loosing, are our soldiers taking orders from these war hungry profit makers.Once Iran is down the U.S will attack another country.When in history has the U.S never been in any conflict.

  • @Goldendragon7377 I see. So USA doesn't want Iran making Nuclear weapons because they don't want anyone else with weapons? Am I right in making this assumption?

    So basically, if you have a knife ( USA) you don't want someone with a sharper knife ( Iran)? would this analogy correct?

  • Oh, would you look at that. The US needs to save billions of dollars all of a sudden. Hey Obama came up with a very good idea... end the wars... wait a second... wasn't Ron Paul saying this for his entire political career? Oh and lets not forget the CURRENT Republican presidential nomination debates. If you want real resolutions, think before you vote. Ron Paul 2012.

  • Let's not forget the $2.3 Trillion that the pentagon lost and admitted to on September 10, 2001. Yes, the day before 9/11

  • The question keeps coming up "why spend this money" and the only answer is "Because we can" just as with any govt. agency they have money allocated to spend and if it's not spent it's sent to another agency. So until the Americans demand more accountability in the way the govt spends their money, we will continue to see this sort of horrific waste. Wake up America, turn off your tv "programs" and get to work defending your nation from the traitors running it.

  • When the U.S. finally defaults on there debt. The bankers will Take this new Aircraft carrier as payment. Soon the worlds banks will have there own private military, bought and payed for by the taxpayer. So why not get Obama to spend all this money. The banks will just repo all of it..Private Corporate Armies are the way of the future.

  • It took billions to build, it only takes thousands to destroy, lol.

  • China's DF21D missile and nuke-subs can finish the carriers off in no time, in time of wars. complete waste of money.

  • feel sorry for its people.

  • So America spends money it can’t afford to waste on a weapon it can’t use through fear of loosening it.

    God yanks your government is so bloated I would keep a towel handy for when it bursts just hope it doesn’t burst all over you.

  • @darkblood626 It's the elite using the American tax payers to fund their war machine to rape and pillage the World. It's nothing new.

  • They really need to come up with a better name for the first "super" aircraft carrier.

  • like he said its israels falt

  • This guys is a idiot..Look dad,There is a little boat with a nuke on broad. Look dad,The city is not there any more...Why do anyone need a nuke.And by the way ( HotElectoneplayer. ( We don't make BATTLESHIPS any more. Last ones was made back be for WWII. If people let anyone make nukes,It puts the world in there hands. Global killer is all it is.

  • War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace. Thomas Mann

  • Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war, than we know about peace.. more about killing, than we know about living.... Omar N. Bradley

  • All war is deception. Sun Tzu

  • We have war when at least one of the parties to a conflict wants something more than it wants peace. Jeane Kirkpatrick

  • Used to be a carrier costs $1B. Now $11B?? What a racket

  • War is a racket

  • Islams have states, the jews have a state, the christians have a state.Who's gona give the satanists a state ?

  • I fucking love war....war war dead dead  fight fight wooottt

  • An aircraft carrier more valuable than an entire country. Incredible.

  • unless jews are not contained and remove from offials posts in government,financial,entertain­ment,media...

  • @RevivalWeek Grow up fairy tales are for children. Do you really think that this is going to end in favor of anyone. Iseral should deal with their own problems. This is why the world wants the US destroyed. Our world leaders have you brainwashed. If god exists like you say let him protect Iseral. I'm not prejudice of Jews but this isn't worth it.

  • Why is a former us general talking to russia today? Must have a chip on his shoulder?

  • @Jedi0786 What type of world do you think would exist if Israel were gone and its enemies ruled? Remember the ethical difference between the two: LOVE vs. SUBMIT. There is no place on earth where Judaism uses murder, rape and slavery to promote its belief. And yet almost every nation on earth feels the sting of Islam's destructive touch. This has been true for 1300 years. The choice to SUBMIT to Satan (allah) or LOVE the God of Israel (Jehovah) is as simple as the promises made regarding both.

  • America is looking ahead 20 years with these new carriers for when China's military has grown and they start to project their military power.

  • @damrak1969 they got to be stopped before that happens

  • We need to get back to our own borders. LIVE AND LET LIVE!!!!!!!!!

    RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!!

  • @Jedi0786 dont blame the jews, blame america for funding israel, besides israel can take care of itself, we should mind our own business.

    ron paul 2012

  • Yeah, but the USA has some really really advanced bad ass weapons!

  • aircraft carriers are the weapons of aggression against the nations that have no means to retaliate.

  • the super carrier was suposed to revolutionize power projection foward and make traditional carriers obsolete. Looks the same to me.

  • i like the gerard ford carrier class developed by US. It looks like a heavy one to say at least, according to US history in aircraft carrier technology, let,s be honest here, this is a piece of something.

  • isreal rothchild invention ,rothchild own the fed and finance and manipulate both sides in all wars, wake up people

  • WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVE WAYS ISRAEL COULD DEAL WITH THIS? He makes the claim but never answers the question. Israel is surrounded by 57 violent Islamic nations. Fight or die is a horrible place to be. "Never Again!" are more than words. They are an existential call to action by a people who have been historically persecuted for thousands of years. Even again today they are swallowed up and surrounded on every side by nations who seek its destruction.

    WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVE CHOICES?

  • @RevivalWeek Well... If I came into your house, and occupied your kitchen, and then start to get upset with you for getting angry and trying to stick a fork in me.

  • @mandablyatskayapizdo - what if I was the owner of the house and personally decorated and furnished the kitchen? What if the squatters in the house were asked to leave and go live with their friends and family elsewhere? Remember, there are 57x more countries for them to go to. What if the squatters and those on the outside both wanted the exact same thing - the destruction of the rightful owners? Is not the rightful owner entitled to protect his family and his land from enemies seeking misery?

  • @RevivalWeek There are none, and we should be right behind them in their fight. However we should also be trying to help the Islamic world get over it's hatred of Israel and the West.

  • I Fucked your mother your democratien, your...............

  • fucking Warmonger America and Israel

  • shut up bitch!

  • that half cast lady has a horrible voice! :P

  • any1 hear that 00:26?

  • @ahgoon69er obviously someone was licking her vagina at 00:26 Lol

  • I love how aware everyone has become. Yes, we all know about the huge corruption and injustices carried out by the US government, but you can't sit idly by while your life is being controlled! Join the Occupy movements or support them, spread your education about corruption to those you know, and for f*ck sake - OPPOSE ACTA!

  • american government spend more with war than all contries together. Who have new?

  • @oirafaelborges "Who have new?" What the fuck does that even mean?

  • Zionist Israel wants to be the next super power and ruling state of the world with the impending collapse of USA financially and militarily. The countdown of the collapse of USA begins now in 2012!

  • and what fucking cop uses a 38.!?!?!?!

  • O the USA can fight a 2 front war if needed, but if they can make a choice they won't.

    Ford going to fuck some shit up. and we are making 4 of them bad boys!

    anyone else find it funny that RT news found some shity ARMY col. to talk about Navy stuff lol.. cause you know.. the Army and navy are always getting along lol.

  • For Fucks Sake, what is the world coming too? spending billions on battleships when there are millions starving to death. People with no homes, people who can bearly make ends meet. This is so wrong. It will only cause a massive war, which will probably kill off the best part of 90% of the planet. Fuck, Illuminati, and Fuck the New World Order, they dont give a shit about any one of us. People, we MUST stand up and oppose any war. just Refuse to fight. What has Iran done to any of us?

  • mersi 

  • @HotElectonePlayer Shut up poser. The poor starve because big fatties like you are always filling you big stupid mouth. The 'people' hate you, because you are a phoney poser! The Iranians laugh at you! The poor laugh at you! Ytube laughs at you! Go on a diet, get a job, close your stupid mouth and shit in your fat pedantic know it all mouth. You make the world a lesser place with your stupid poser bull shit. You are known to steal a blind man's cane.
  • @fntime Who the fuck are you? I bet you are one of those keyboard warriors who can only have a go at someone when they are behind a keyboard and screen. But in reality you probably dont even have a girl friend and rely on your hand and internet porn for sexual gratification. When it comes to the real thing you are probably one who appologises a lot arent you, even when you are in the right, just so someone doesnt smash your ugly face in. And you call me a poser!? You are a cunt!

  • @HotElectonePlayer You obviously have hardly studied international relations. Also you are watching a Russian news broadcast, essentially a propaganda arm of Russia. To address your last statement if anyone is trying to start a war or cause conflicts it's Iran. If you don't believe me reference their threats on the straight of Hormuz. Also we need a military to defend ourselves against the evil such as what is happening in Syria now, we need defense or this will run rampant.

  • @therookguy I watch different news programs, it just leaves me with a mixed bag of questions, who is telling the truth? I watch SKY News, CNN, Al Jezeera and a few others. Dont get me wrong, I am not against Americans nor America, I am British myself. But there is alarm bells sounding. Is this going to be another WMD like in Iraq? Its about oil really isn't it? But think, while the rich get richer, someones son, brother, uncle friend is getting killed or getting seriously injured.

  • @HotElectonePlayer Also Russia and China were the two countries who vetoed a disapproval of the Syrian government for its military actions against its own citizens, so if your watching Russian news you're in the wrong place...

  • @HotElectonePlayer You don't realize the value of those billions of US dollars. Don't let the number fool you.

  • @viruslived What value!? I dont put a price on a human life.

  • The USS Gerald Ford is going to be their deadliest weapon. That's hilarious!

  • @lsl70or a expensive man made reef

  • The DOD is private an answers to nobody

  • More titty bars

  • smart man knows his stuff , i can respect people that are not infected with israhell and war .

    just tell all the nations that want war go lay down buy your DISH.

  • have you seen the way she knocks her pencil on the table ?

    It means she is a little bit anti american military program

  • Russia is a 3rd world country

  • RT is anti American bullshit

  • Russia Today.. maggots

  • 00:25 Only the look of that 4-Star should mean business... "I must crush you!"

  • Pumping so much money into our military is a similar problem to pumping so much money into an educational system that doesn't work. The only reason why such money would be placed into the military if the U.S. intends to use it actively. Does that mean more wars? Does it mean more secret military and intelligence operations? Does it mean occupying foreign countries? If we spent 548 Billion on the military alone, it's for a reason.

  • @VerseInfinitum We have the most advanced military in the world and one of the smaller armies in the world. So, we rely on having technology on our side....not numbers. China has a vastly larger army....but equips them with the equivalent of a stapler in comparison to the weapons US troops have

  • 11 billion my ass more like spend 5 billion on the ship and say it cost 11 then spend the other 6 bill on black projects

  • RUSIAN VS USA , RUSIA WIN!

  • @TheRZK002 no dickhead we would all lose, we would all get nuked and we would all die

  • @oiReWiin

    If you throw nuclear bombs, in my opinion, would only use max 4, because the radiation would leave uninhabitable for more than 100 years, it would be killing themselves ..

    Greetings, future pilot Argentina! :)

  • Obama is down sizing the military but hes going to attack Iran.

  • all the money for the ships is spend on them slefs,.. us dont loose any money

  • this guy is totally talking through his fucking hat there is no doubt in my mind If he thinks iran is a cake walk try and attack iran and see what happens Those carriers would go down with its cargo like an opened can of beans

  • @phliperphil Have you ever been on one of those carriers?

  • @phliperphil Sure they have anti ship missiles and effective rockets, trouble being that US Spy satellites will have every target pin pointed and logged for cruise F16's as they did bombing Iraq's water sewerage food & medicine plants in the 1990's... i agree with you though, they only have to get lucky a few times or catch radar guy tired to inflict major casualties, as Argentina did on our hms sheffield.

  • Why does it take 33 long and boring years for the U.S. to attack Iran Well! The mighty Iran is actually a superpower and the most powerful nation in the whole region of the Middle East as confirmly stated so far by at least those 3 former U.S. high-ranking military officials some times ago. As for your knowledge, Turkey is not as strong as Iran as been mentioned in the interview on the video above by Col. Douglas Macgregor. The truth will and shall remain the truth. That's pretty sure.

  • That is what Ron Paul has been saying all along. Get out of these wars and concentrate on our own defense.

  • @richielynn20001 Ron Paul has ideologies he can't put anything in practice

  • @richielynn20001

    If we were not so aggressive, we would have no need to defend ourselves. The best way to stop a problem, is to never create it to begin with

  • @WoRLDGoNeiNSainE We were passive in 1930's. Look how that ended up for us.

  • @richielynn20001 I bet he wants to do it with muskets too...

  • @richielynn20001 MAKE A WAR MAKE IT RIGHT, DON´T LOOSE TIME AND MONEY. KILL´EM ALL AND KILL´EM NOW, JUST DON´T FUCK AROUND.-

  • What happen to the people in poverty and without jobs and starving daily? 546 billion?? smh

  • You Do know that youtube and the sites you use BONJASKY90 is based in the US? On the upside if we do get nuked at least you would not be able to post about it here. I pity people who are ill informed and unable to write in complete sentences with limited vocabulary. As for giving people healthcare and education is because it is not a right and not stipulated in the Constitution. Individual people are all equally able to make it in the US with hard work if they actually try.

  • @yuppa396 Bonjasky90 probably LIVES here in the U.S! Haha

  • fuck usa ! iran pls some atombomb on this fucking usa and israel !

  • so far 100 years we get we get chemmical by iraq and iraq and turk so tims has come to turm table to us ..then for all iranian and iraqi and turk enshlah u well know soon what is feeling look like when sombody try to kill one of ur family infront of u then tell us what is feeling look like ,,,for 1000 years thats it end ..it's u turn now persian ..well see what can u do with american.. but dont 4get thy'r not kurds thy'r americans americannnnnn

  • spending tax payer dollars on war machines is just a form of welfare. The jobs created are created wit money that is't earned. The money is never returned and there are no profits. Defense industries are simply on the largest from of welfare in existence.

  • @redougulas If the US just fucking did regular welfare, or maybe invested in oh i don't know.. Health? Education? yeah, it's not like those are both the laughing stock of the developed world or anything.

    Fucking militaristic government

  • Israel* rather

  • Put the money we save from the military,into the space program!!! A Larger Space Program would create thousnds of jobs It would help get us into Space Development Programs for our future,unlike War Programs we have now!!! That just get us into wars with no rewards!!!

  • @kolkrabe19 More than a couple. This is no surprise. War is a profitable business, even illegal war. Governments have been inventing reasons to go to war for centuries, and the US is no different. I had hoped that my generation would be the one to wake up and stop all this nonsense, and start living together as ONE humanity. I guess that was too much to hope for because it seems it is still business as usual. Ron Paul (and people like him) may be the last hope for mankind. Wake up world!

  • @jcnaples The planet is fine. The PEOPLE are fucked.

  • Don't have anymore Wars. That would save all of the money.

    That's were all of the money goes anyway.

  • Comment removed

  • We all live in a fucked up planet

  • Iran only spends 9.1 billion but they are still on the top of the world when it comes to armed forces!

  • USA = TOP1 TERRORIST ON THE WORLD !

    IRAN GOOD WORK !!

  • Might have something to do with Iran not trading oil in dollars anymore. Remember Sadamm.

  • the backbone of the USA is war and oil

  • My bet is the U.S. wants to attack Iran and start a war their so that they could get all of Iran's oil. Also the US wants to put in their own infrastructure to control the Iran government.

  • This man is absolutely right in regards to risking a high value target like a aircraft carrier, two cruise missiles costing about $1.5 million takes out a $11.5 billion aircraft carrier?

    When the old USSR fell political pundits were asking what would the neo-cons do without the the Soviet Union as their bogey man to justify military spending? Well they found a new one in Muslim terrorist so now we need to spend 548 billion a year to fight terrorist? It`s like killing a ant with a sledge hammer!

  • great speech

  • @berentoi. none

  • oh, and one more thing...this bitter socialist former military man was in the ARMY...yet you bring him on to discuss naval and air force military projects.... idiots!

  • @BerenTol The new planes are stealth too, and can turn on a sixpence and virtually hover, infact, the VTOL do hover.. F-15's dont do any of those things... I noticed how he left that out lol Russia Today is shit, I know that and I am from the UK. If Iran wants war, all good, the U.S., Isreal and UK have my support. I dont want to imagine Nukes in the hands of fanatical muslims, and fuck anyone who disagrees..

  • for all you jealous anti-US idiots applauding macgregor...he's a bitter former military man who was basically run out because he turned pascifist and is now a feckless leftwing spokeman...of course that's why you all admire this interview so much, you are all feckless leftwing America hating garbage

  • Russia Today.... total garbage....(even though the whore hosting this piece is a hottie)....and this retired colonel she's interviewing is a traitor and mouth-piece for the leftwing socialists

  • SO AFTER U KILLED OVER 5 MILLION MUSLIMS....U WEREN'T SATISFIED. WOW!!!!!! 

  • @TheDragon967 how many muslims have been killed by muslims? {dumbass}

  • I am a Singaporean and do not know who this speaker is, but I find his speech exceptionally good and clear.

    By the way, I do not know how I got here because I was reading on the SOPA news....F**K SOPA by the way.

  • @charlesvan13 You sir are a smart man.

  • WOW This man is one of the most intelligent US spokesperson I've EVER heard ...

  • military barget cost transfer social security cost.

  • When a ship is worth more then two countries combined, you know its bad ass

  • @Cowarethegreatest The British Royal Crown Jewels are worth at least twice as much. My observation is pointless, but quite interesting.

  • @Cowarethegreatest Until it's sunk by a unmanned sub. Not so bad ass anymore. Like the general said. It's strategically STUPID. The one who is bad ass. Is the winner of that fight.

  • @Cowarethegreatest GDP dickhead >.< not total worth

  • @Cowarethegreatest No, when a ship is worth more than two countries combined, someone is flashing their dick at the rest of the world. It might be expensive, but like the video says, a remotely operated submarine could sink that ship just as easily as it could any other ship in the fleet. Then you just have the worlds most expensive aquarium decoration rotting on the sea floor to show for the stupidity of investing that much in floating metal.

  • @Cowarethegreatest yhe spending broke taxpayers dollars on machines to kill people is bad ass. no doubt.

  • @Cowarethegreatest Or repugnant. Depends on how indoctrinated you are I guess...

  • Rt is really us today

  • The West knows Iran isn't building nuclear weapons, it's all aggressive western imperialism against an independent nation. The West wants to enslave the whole world. They will eventually lose.

  • they're pulling the troops out of middle east to put them on the streets of american neighborhoods, no more free america :(

  • All the technology spent on by the defense budget goes into science and technology developement.

    The US budget isn;t that different than other countries.  We spende 4 times as much as China, while our gdp is 4 times theirs.

  • @RealityGrapple your just not used to seeing the other side of the news

  • Comment removed

  • @RealityGrapple you dont find it shocking that america is more than 5x the next closest country for military spending? they are right you moron

  • russia china iran and more! 6 inches tall my ass! Never underestimate!
