Europe's War Mentality Goes CRAZY: Switzerland Proofs It | Alberto Togni
Europe is in a collective War Psychosis where every single problem looks like part of a Putin-induced "hybrid war". Even Switzerland is not save of these processes. Alberto Togni, a member of the Council of the Swiss Communist Party, discusses why he supports Switzerland’s neutrality initiative. He argues for non-alignment, mediation, opposition to NATO membership and unilateral sanctions, and links neutrality to sovereignty, workers’ rights, economic diversification, and Switzerland’s potential role in a multipolar world.Alberto's Page:Alberto Togni: https://noue-nonato.chOur Links:Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00:00 Introducing the neutrality initiative00:01:25 Why a communist supports neutrality00:05:45 The “pro-Putin” campaign framing00:10:40 Switzerland and Europe’s war mentality00:14:35 Does NATO cooperation bring security?00:19:14 Media propaganda and public opinion00:23:10 A Marxist case for neutrality00:30:30 Sanctions, solidarity, and neutrality00:34:12 Referendum prospects and campaign efforts00:39:22 A neutral Switzerland in a multipolar world00:42:01 How to follow Alberto Togni

🚨 Next Escalation: USA Out of Options, Iran's New Zero-Tolerance Strategy | Dr. Arta Moeini
As operation "Economic Furry" or "Economic D-Day" is still born, the USA once again resorts to strikes on civilians to terrorize the nation of Iran. But Tehran already gave its answers by striking at US bases in Jordan, in "hot pursuit" of the fleeing US troop deployments.Dr. Arta Moeini, managing director of U.S. operations at the Institute for Peace and Diplomacy, assesses the Iran-US war, competing Iranian approaches to deterrence and escalation, the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran’s strategic resilience. He also introduces Reclaiming America First, an initiative examining a realist US foreign policy and a post-American regional order in the Middle East.Links:Arta Moeini: https://peacediplomacy.orgArta Moeini on X: https://x.com/ArtaMoeiniWelcome to Fortress Iran: https://unherd.com/2026/08/welcome-to...Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00:00 Introduction and Iran war update00:01:04 Fortress Iran and US strategy00:05:58 MOU violations and Hormuz blockade00:14:04 Iran’s leverage and escalation options00:22:08 Competing Iranian strategic approaches00:28:48 Proportionality, deterrence and initiative00:37:21 Can Iran sustain a long war?00:44:48 Strategic loneliness and external partners00:56:48 Reclaiming America First

NATO's New Plans To Destroy Russia | Prof. Jeffrey Sachs
The West is losing the Ukraine War big time. But that does not mean the NATO lunatics are willing to give up their plans for total global domination. On the contrary, some of them are only getting started.Professor Jeffrey Sachs joins Pascal Lottaz to argue that the Ukraine war is a long-running US proxy conflict with Russia. He discusses NATO expansion, post-Cold War policy, US power and elite interests, Europe’s economic costs, and the risks of escalation. Sachs also outlines what he sees as a path to peace: Ukrainian neutrality, no further NATO expansion, and ending US wars.Links:Jeffrey D.

What Really Happened In Yugoslavia | Douglas Macgregor & David Gibbs
The Yugoslavia Wars were not about humanitarian intervention. Here is the testimony of a man who was closely involved in the NATO operations and a historian who studied that era closely. Professor David Gibbs and Colonel Douglas Macgregor compare their views on the Yugoslav wars, NATO’s role in Bosnia and Kosovo, and the thinking behind the 1999 bombing campaign. Macgregor recalls his work in NATO command, while Gibbs connects the Balkan interventions to NATO expansion, Europe’s military dependence, Russia, and later conflicts.Links: Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps: 00:00:00 Introduction and Balkan war context00:02:53 Russia’s role in Bosnia and Kosovo00:08:02 Early warnings about Kosovo00:15:09 Intervention goals and the KLA00:22:28 Russia, NATO, and the air war00:33:00 Rambouillet and the Kosovo settlement00:42:53 Europe’s NATO dependence and war narrative00:55:24 The Balkans as a Russia rehearsal01:05:39 Intervention, neutrality, and closing thoughts

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
