    New Red Scare Destroys NATO, US Turns Against Europe, Iran Wins | Pietro Shakarian

    NATO is being demilitarized by its own Proxy-War. Historian and American University of Armenia lecturer Pietro Shakarian joins Pascal to discuss America’s “third Red Scare,” the Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz, the proposed Mecca Pact, Ukraine’s future, Caucasus transit plans, and why he sees Europe’s elites as tied to US power during a shift toward multipolarity.Links:Pietro Shakarian at The Nation: https://www.thenation.com/authors/pie...Anastas Mikoyan: An Armenian Reformer in Khrushchev’s Kremlin: https://iupress.org/9780253073556/ana...Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00 Introduction and America’s Third Red Scare04:06 Trump, empire decline, and the Iran war07:36 War of aggression and US public opinion15:39 Reform, neoliberalism, and AI data centers20:31 Iran’s strategy and the Mecca Pact31:15 US overstretch and Caucasus corridors39:03 Ukraine, Russia, and Europe’s war strategy49:15 Why European elites follow US power57:15 US limits and the shift to multipolarity

    It is OVER: The West Destroys Itself. Final Words. | Tord Björk

    Tord Björk, co-founder of People and Peace, International Peace Bureau council member, and Helsinki Plus 50 coordinator, discusses the Helsinki Final Act, Finland’s move from neutrality to NATO, and the decline of peace movements.

    Deterrence Psychopathy Highjacks Europe—It's Getting Worse | Cdre. Steve Jermy

    The people who lead Ukraine straight into the bayonets of Russia are working over-time to do the same to the rest of the European continent. Retired Royal Navy Commodore Steve Jermy joins me today to discuss what we need to work toward stopping this: A new “Spirit of Westphalia” for ending the NATO-Russia war. We examine the loss of cooperative security in Europe, weak air defenses, the energy costs of escalation, the human cost of a wider war, and possible paths toward diplomacy, neutrality, OSCE-led confidence-building measures, and Track II talks.Links:Steve Jermy’s Substack: https://stevejermy.substack.comSteve’s Article: https://stevejermy.substack.com/p/the...Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00:00 Introduction and the Spirit of Westphalia00:09:03 Support Neutrality Studies00:09:20 Why Europe abandoned cooperative security00:14:41 Air defense, drones, and missile warfare00:18:14 Energy security and the need for diplomacy00:22:37 How peace talks could begin00:29:25 Neutrality, the OSCE, and ending sanctions00:35:19 Who could launch a new peace process?00:45:25 Where to follow Steve Jermy

    US Empire Defeated: Multipolarity Wins Against Colonial West | Dr Kee Beng Ooi

    It's the "last hurray of colonialism", as my guest today, Dr. Ooi Kee Beng, puts it. The wars inUkraine and Iran are left-overs of a time that has already passed and is currently being supplanted by the realities of the Multipolar Order.Dr. Ooi, executive director of Penang Institute, discusses why Southeast Asia feels more hopeful than Europe, how China’s rise shapes decolonization and multipolarity, and why Western thinking still treats the world as a contest. He examines colonial history, the Middle East, ASEAN neutrality, and keeping the Strait of Malacca open.The Penang Peace Dialogue SIGN UP: https://commonwealthofworldchinatowns...Links:Wikibeng: https://wikibeng.comPenang Institute: https://penanginstitute.orgISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute: https://www.iseas.edu.sgNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:09 Europe and Southeast Asia’s outlook00:06:13 China’s rise and regional history00:11:44 Decolonization and a multipolar world00:23:21 Bandung, Africa, and sovereignty00:26:39 Orientalism and the colonial world order00:39:28 Iran, the Middle East, and oil00:42:56 ASEAN and the Strait of Malacca00:49:03 Maritime Southeast Asia and globalization

    NATO's Plans for Total Global Dominance & The Bunker State | Nel Bonilla

    Is the Collective West in disarray because of its absence of long term thinking? Or is it all a charade and the master minds are just really good at hiding what's actually going on? Well, we might be in for an even bumpier ride than we thought, not because the Western leadership is brilliant (they are mostly imbeciles), but the underlying sociological structure is not as short-sighted as one might assume.Nel Bonilla, author of Worldlines, explains her “bunker state” framework and why she sees NATO 3.0 as a shift toward deeper military integration. She and Pascal Lottaz discuss NATO’s evolution, Europe’s defense industry, proxy warfare, conscription, public spending, the “global West,” and ways peace, labor, and neutrality movements could resist this change.Nel's Article: https://worldlinesletter.substack.com...More Links:Worldlines – The threads connecting geopolitics: https://worldlinesletter.substack.comNel Bonilla at NachDenkSeiten: https://www.nachdenkseiten.de/?gastau...Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00 Introduction and the bunker state04:47 NATO 1.0, 2.0, and 3.016:16 Is NATO a node or a driver?18:28 Silent social transformation in Europe32:28 The Ankara summit and arms production44:10 War readiness and proxy warfare50:34 The end goal: a “global West”54:08 The bunker state and social contract57:00 Peace movements and alternatives

    Iran War Round 3: Tehran Prepares Knock-Out Blow | Prof. S.M. Marandi

    While the US lives in fantasy world about the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran has been busy preparing for the next phase of the war, which doubtlessly the US will restart once more. Since there is no diplomatic solution, Tehran is coming around to the conclusion that with the next battle, a decisive military change in the region must occur—in the US satellites.Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi joins me to discuss daily life in Tehran, Iran’s trade routes under blockade, the risk of renewed US attacks, Saudi Arabia’s position, missile strategy, and relations with Gulf states.

    NATO's Terrible Mistake: Proxy-War Turns Against Europe | Anatol Lieven

    NATO's European Forever War is now turning decisively against the EU. The elites that have been cheering the carnage on for the longest time are starting to catch up with the actual battle field reality.Anatol Lieven, director of the Eurasia Program at the Quincy Institute, discusses why Ukraine’s NATO question and territorial deadlock make a lasting settlement hard. He examines US weapons limits, the Iran war, changes in US and Israeli politics, Morocco’s role in the Ceuta migration crisis, and why China is avoiding a move on Taiwan. He also argues that Western foreign-policy institutions repeatedly fail to learn from past wars.Links:Anatol Lieven at Responsible Statecraft: https://responsiblestatecraft.org/aut...Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00 Ukraine, NATO, and peace talks07:46 Can a Ukraine deal hold?16:51 US weapons limits and Iran21:15 Trump’s Iran strategy25:13 Israel and US political shifts28:31 Ceuta migration crisis33:40 China, Taiwan, and Western failures

    China Shocks USA: The Fight Is Already Over | Prof. Wang Wen

    While the US is in high panic about "the rise of China" and its failing warmongering in the word, Beijing is at its most relaxed yet. Turns out, China is confident that it won the race roughly 10 years ago and is now only working on expanding its lead. Professor Wang Wen, Dean of the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China, discusses how Chinese scholars view Trump’s second administration, trade pressure, China’s domestic development, and US-China competition. He shares his views on Iran, Taiwan risks, BRICS, the Belt and Road Initiative, global governance, green energy, AI, and why he believes cooperation can replace conflict.Links:Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, Renmin University of China: https://rdcy.ruc.edu.cnNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00:00 Trump and China’s Response00:12:14 China’s Long-Term Development Model00:18:39 US-China Conflict Risks00:23:17 China’s Future Advantages00:30:32 Iran War and US Power00:36:39 BRICS and Chinese Foreign Policy00:44:57 China, Realism and Peaceful Coexistence

    The REAL Reason Peace in Ukraine is Impossible | Pavel Shchelin

    The war in Ukraine is not about Ukraine. It's about meaning. Yes, it's a proxy war, and yes, power is at the core of the military confrontation. Even thinking of it as a war of civilizations is not wrong, but it misses what the civilizations actually disagree on. Only the symbolic foundations of the war reveal what Moscow on the one hand and the Globalists on the other are actually fighting about.Russian political philosopher and Orthodox thinker Pavel Shchelin joins Pascal to discuss how worldviews, symbols, and desires shape political decisions. They examine sanctions, competing ideas of peace and security, Russia-West relations, NATO, and why shared political language can hide deep disagreement over Ukraine.Links:Pavel Shchelin YouTube:English Channel: / @namingtheselfevident Personal Channel: / @pavelshchelin Interview Channel: / @schelin_official Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00:00 Pavel Shchelin on political theology00:04:26 Worldviews, rationality, and reality00:12:00 Sanctions and symbolic politics00:23:00 Russia-West stories and political language00:34:28 Peace proposals and ending wars00:52:39 Enlightenment, globalism, and empire00:57:36 Russia's security goals and Ukraine

    End of NATO Hegemony: New Alliance "Nothing Burger" Exposes Western Weakness

    Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia announced the formation of a new alliance which will treat an attack against one as an attack against all. Well, that's lovely, but can we please see the actual treaty? No. We can't? Oh, that's funny, why would you keep that secret? Well.... my friends, what we are seeing here is a prime example of "Alliance Theater", where three actors — on behalf of the US overlord — are trying to posture in front of cameras while neither the military backbone nor the political resolve is ready for action. And that's not even a new thing. Let me walk you through the recent history of alliance theater and how this reveals more about the Multipolar World than about the military strength of any of the actors involved.

    The "Vietnam Moment" Is Near: Empire Exhausts Itself | Prof. David Gibbs

    After 4.5 years of Proxy-War something is breaking: When the cracks in the pro-war narrative get so large that even Neocons have to admit the empire is running out of munition, an inflection point has been reached. And we have seen this before. What David Gibbs calls the "Vietnam Moment" is not far away anymore.In this talk, professor David Gibbs of the University of Arizona discusses his trip to the Baltics, arguing that anti-Russian feeling is widespread and that Russian-speaking minorities face exclusion. He and Pascal Lottaz compare Western messaging on Ukraine with Vietnam, debate the political costs of a setback, and discuss how culture-war language can be used to support military intervention.Links:David N.

    The cracks in Japan's "everything is fine" pretense policies are starting to show. The country can't import some very essential goods anymore and the trend is not looking good. On top of that, the Takaichi's LDP government chose some political fights at home that are alienating her voter base.Professor Aya Ikegame of Kyoto University discusses Japan’s oil shortages, the government’s response, and the political strength of Sanae Takaichi.

    Escalation to DEFEAT: USA Losing on BOTH Fronts | Stanislav Krapivnik

    The wars in West Asia and Eastern Europe are merging. And if you think this is coincidence, then I have a bridge to sell to you. As vertical escalation in both theaters is proving to fail big time, Washington neocons seem to have switched tactics: Horizontal escalation to draw in more parties into a multi-theater war.Pascal and Stas discuss the newest strikes from and into Iran, the risk of the Ukraine and Middle East wars becoming linked, U.S. military and energy limits, drone attacks and Russian restraint, the fighting around Ukraine’s defensive lines, and possible post-war security arrangements.
