Negotiating Power: U.S. Influence in Ukraine

Welcome to Counter Stream—DiEM25’s unfiltered monthly dive into the stories shaping our world that mainstream media ignores or distorts. In this powerful new episode, Julijana Zita is joined by Kinza Saleem for a wide-ranging conversation that connects the dots between Trump’s authoritarian circus, global resource grabs, and the crumbling illusions of European identity.

From Trump’s self-coronation and war on democracy to the brutal deportations and executive orders that target the most vulnerable, we examine how psychological warfare and spectacle are being used to desensitise and divide. We look at the US-Russia deal-making over Ukraine exposing the new phase of imperialism: economic colonisation wrapped in “reconstruction.” Meanwhile, Congo burns in silence.

China rises with vision and strategy. Europe cries at its own irrelevance. And the far right surges—while the left, once again, stands to pick up the pieces. This is not business as usual. This is Counter Stream.
