Glenn Diesen - Greater Eurasia Podcast

In this engaging discussion, market analyst and author Alex Krainer dives into Europe’s troubling trajectory as it prioritizes militarism over economic stability. He examines how European elites sacrifice domestic welfare for geopolitical ambitions, warning of the unsustainable debt crisis and technological decline. Krainer also critiques Europe's submission to U.S. strategic pressures, underscores the consequences of asset seizures, and reflects on the systemic failures of Western policies. His insights on potential shifts in EU dynamics, particularly through a Trump-Putin meeting, are particularly thought-provoking.

She also assesses the role of NATO in easing tensions and the implications of demographic changes on Ukraine's military capacity.

Marco Carnelos, a seasoned diplomat and former special envoy for the Middle East, dives deep into Europe's declining influence in the region.

Carnelos also discusses the implications of the Gaza conflict on regional dynamics and questions the portrayal of Iran as Israel's primary threat. His insights illuminate the shifting power landscape where China and Russia play a growing role.

Dmitry Polyanskiy is the First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations. Polyanskiy argues that the spirit of Alaska is not dead, and it is still a diplomatic path to peace. However, if Trump sends Tomahawk missiles, then it will be considered a direct US attack on Russia by the Trump administration. Furthermore, as the Tomahawk can carry a nuclear warhead, Russia will have to consider it a possible nuclear first strike.
