The neocon establishment in the US, and its proxy NATO, are getting worse and worse. After 3 coups in South Asia (Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh) in less than 3 years, they are now setting sight on the next targets. From the small nations of the caucasus (especially Georgia) to India itself, nobody is safe from the Regime-Change fantasies of the Collective West. The ideological colonialism of modern US Grand Strategy knows no limits, as it tries to capture more states into the spider's web. The question is this: will the populations of these nations see through the attempts of foreign powers to abuse them as proxy-war staging grounds, or is the infighting of local factions strong enough to empower those that receive US/NATO support? These are the questions that I'm discussing today with Professor Anuradha Chenoy, a Professor Emerita from theJawaharlal Nehru University.

Vladimir Putin just visited Mongolia and it‘s a big deal. In theory, Mongolia would have had to arrest Putin as it is a state party to the International Criminal Court (ICC) which issued an arrest warrant for him last year. But that didn‘t happen. I‘m discussing this today with Tumurjin Ganbaatar, a Mongolian medical doctor in Japan who keeps a close eye on his home country and helps us make sense of the reasons for Mongolia‘s „defiance“ of western rule by law.

This is a joint production with @demoliendomitosdelapolitica (Demolishing Political Myths). E. Bistoletti interviewed Pascal about his views on Ukraine's counter-invasion into Russia. The Spanish version of the Podcast is available here: https://www.youtube.com/live/uQQXz-noEmc The Kursk invasion is interpreted in some corners as a Russian trap but considering the Moscow's narrative about the war, this is unlikely. It probably is the desperate but unexpected (as well as counter-productive) act of the losing side of a war to provoke the other side into something that might draw in third powers. What makes this act so dangerous, is the fact that it couldn't happen without NATO equipment and NATO intelligence and, hence, NATO's consent. Therefore, what this proofs to Russia is that NATO indeed is willing to invade Russia's heart-land and that it will be only a matter of time until even more lethal weapons will be used against it. The wheel of escalation is spinning and the only hope the Ukrainians have left is to bait Russia into an attack that would eventually bring the full power of NATO—including nuclear weapons—into the battle field.

The real meaning of Jake Sullivan's China trip has nothing to do with US-China relations and everything with the war in Ukraine, says Ray McGovern, a renowned US intelligence analyst. Sullivan went to China to sound out the possible Chinese reactions to a US escalation of the Ukraine proxy-war with the use of the last weapons that the American's have not yet shipped to its Kiev war-implementation partner, namely tactical nukes. However, it is also clear that the Chinese would react to such an escalation in their very own ways. Ray's Twitter/X profile: https://twitter.com/raymcgovern?s=21&t=PgwPfAOlrgA_LeeJS3-vhQ Ray's Homepage: https://raymcgovern.com Ray McGovern served as a CIA analyst for 27 years. His duties included chairing National Intelligence Estimates and preparing the President’s Daily Brief. In January 2003, Ray co-created “Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity” (VIPS) to expose how intelligence was being falsified to “justify” war on Iraq.

Condoleezza Rice is back! One of the worst and most hawkish neocons of the early 2000s just wrote a long article in Foreign Affairs, the ideological mother-ship of these creatures from hell. This is noteworthy for two reasons: A) The timing and the subtext in light of the upcoming US presidential elections and B) for the unapologetic neocon worldview that these people still tout out even after decades of their failed but blood-stained foreign policies. Let’s have a look at this.

How do we explain that many of the European elites in politics, business, and especially in the press today seem to be much more eager for hot wars than during the height of the Cold War? How is it that the warmongers in high offices and especially our war propaganda press now seem to desire nothing more than to engage in a conflict by all possible means—a conflict that could end the entire continent? From Germany, through Austria, and even into Switzerland, the ideological threads stretch that aim to unite Europe and NATO in order to go to war against Russia and China. To explore this question, I have the pleasure today of speaking with an Austrian colleague, the philosopher Professor Dr. Erwin Bader from the University of Vienna. Professor Bader has taught and researched for many years on various philosophical topics, particularly in the fields of political philosophy, ethics, and philosophy of religion.
