Once in a while on YouTube you find a real classic video.
If you want a view on what has gone right and wrong with the world since 1945, where the UN has got it right and got it wrong in the past 60+ years, where the EU has got it right and wrong in the past 50 odd years usw, this is worth hearing.
He is 96 years old, and the intelligence, the insight into and grasp of what has been happening for the past few decades is astounding. I found myself agreeing with nearly everything he had to say, particularly his comments on nationalism in Europe.
One down side, dear reader, you had better speak French (or find some way to make YouTube produce English subtitles!).
