Conversations Among The Ruins A New Dark Age for Europe | Is Russia the New West? | US Leverage Gone
Is Western Civilization already dead? In this episode, we discuss the rising tensions in Europe and whether the threat of World War III is real or just fear-mongering. We analyze the fundamental weakness of NATO, the "insanity" of current Western leadership, and how hatred of Russia has become the only glue holding the EU together.
Later, we explore the controversial idea that Russia might be preserving traditional Western values while Europe abandons them. Finally, we look East to the growing tensions between Japan, Taiwan, and China, and ask: Does the US have any leverage left?
