We in the West start with political and financial means and if there really is no other option, military, ethically correct, but we always start at a disadvantage', says general outside his Mart de Kruif #buitenhof. General bd thinks that we should 'stop being naive and make society resilient'. Bombardments by Iran on Pakistan, Iraq and Syria and a military response from Pakistan. Shelling of ships in the Red Sea by Houtis in Yemen and bombardments by the US on Houti targets. Meanwhile, the fighting in Gaza continues. Where do we stand now, is a further escalation imminent and what are the consequences for another front, namely that in Ukraine? And how real is the Russian threat on NATO's eastern border? Should we also prepare ourselves? Former Commander of the Armed Forces Peter van Uhm and retired Lieutenant General Mart de Kruif are at the table. We also speak with Middle East correspondent for The Economist Gregg Carlstrom about the diplomatic pressure that must be exerted on Israel and Hamas to reach a solution. ➡ Subscribe to not miss anything and join the conversation: http://bit.ly/buitenhof-abonneren ➡ Watch another video about International Relations: https://bit.ly/buitenhofyt-ib This video is from the broadcast of Buitenhof on January 21, 2024 https://bit.ly/buitenhof-21-jan-24 About Buitenhof: Buitenhof discusses politics and current affairs in in-depth interviews, debates or discussions.
