Generated Summary:
Main Topic: The interview discusses various geopolitical issues, focusing on the war in Ukraine, the potential for war with Iran, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the legacy of the Epstein case. A central theme is the role of the US and its foreign policy decisions in shaping these conflicts, particularly the actions and motivations of the Trump administration.

Delivering to you the towering and sterling efforts of Britain’s most outstanding political figure.
Yes, we know George Galloway's position: it's Ukraine's fault and Ukraine should surrender to Putin.
Is Galloway going MAGA? As I don't particularly care, I don't feel like watching the video.
I was going to say to rewatch video, since it seems you did not listen to anything they said.
It makes sense now, you did not watch the video and you have already made up your mind on what others views are before listening to them.
All is well, peace.
I've listened to Galloway before.
I mostly agree with him on Palestine, and he was great about Iraq, though—like Roger Waters—he ignores that Jews who migrated to Palestine and lived there between, say, 1935 to 1945, tended to do better than those who stayed in Europe.
The Russian invasion is inexcusable.
Слава Україні.
The genocide in Palestine was caused by my countries oligarchs and corporation, which control and fund our duopoly, the same reason the Ukraine war started.
American imperalism has been going on for many decades, more than 30 years.
I agree, but let us not forget the history of why it was provoked by the United States and NATO expansion towards Russia and their border.
The next war being pushed is with Iran and China.
