Neutrality Studies

Originally published on Feb 21, 2025.The diplomats always knew what the US was up to with Ukraine, Eastern Europe, the coups, and the intrigues. This was and is well-known in diplomatic circles, especially in Europe. They just never told us because national politics would forbid them from letting anyone know. That's the verdict of Ambassador José Antonio Zorrilla, one of Spain's former top-diplomats. How utterly depressing.Ambassador Zorilla joined the Spanish Diplomatic Service in 1973, becoming Consul General to Milano, Shanghai, and Moscow and finally Spain’s Ambassador to Georgia in 2011. Ambassador Zorrilla is also a passionate filmmaker and script writer, as well as a keen analyst of international relations. Hence, today we want to talk about Spain, the future of Europe, and diplomacy in the multipolar world. Ambassador Zorillav, welcome.Ambassador Zorrilla's (Spanish-language) YouTube Channel:    / @eurostrategos  

Originally published on Feb 20, 2025.[Part 2 of 2] While the West is still busy trash-talking China at every waking moment, it has completely eluded them that China has an unbeatable domestic system that neither the USA nor Europe can match. China has one of the most decentralized fiscal policy systems in the world and built its national structure around local competition beyond a simple market economy. Now compare that to the ever-increasing centralization in the European Union and you get a sense of why Brussels doesn't stand a chance to ever produce the same kind of products at the quality that China is now able to bring to the world on a massive scale.This is the second part of an interview with Arnaud Bertrand, one of Twitter/X’s best and most profound political analysts.

Originally published on Feb 19, 2025.[Part 1 of 2] The USA and Russia just met for a first preparatory peace meeting in Saudi Arabia and EU leaders are not only angry about this but they are not even invited to join the talks! This is the first time in over 1000 years that Europe's security is decided completely by outside forces. Has its century of humiliation begun?Today I’ve got again the fantastic Arnaud Bertrand with me, one of Twitter/X’s best and most profound political analysts. I recommend everybody subscribe to Arnaud as he really hits the nail on the head every single time. He does fantastic current affairs and data analysis.

Originally published on Feb 18, 2025.For the longest time, USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) have been funding foreign NGOs to influence local populations through media propaganda and the pretense of a civil society consensus. Donald Trump just pulled the plug on that one by defunding USAID and even going after the NED. This is unprecedented in modern history that a state dismantles its own cognitive warfare apparatus. What happened?I'm discussing these tectonic shifts with Professor Glenn Diesen, a professor at the University of Southeast Norway.Find Glenn on other platforms:Substack: https://glenndiesen.substack.comYouTube:    /  @gdiesen1    Twitter: https://x.com/glenn_diesen?s=21

Originally published on Feb 17, 2025.While the USA is finally working on achieving peace in Ukraine and ending the senseless bloodshed, EU kleptocrats are having a mental breakdown in Munich over the new US Vice President lecturing them on proper democratic values. The EU hasn't even begun to understand what hit them.

Originally published on Feb 16, 2025.The NATO-Proxy War in Ukraine has always been built on completely false narratives about what Russia is and what it is capable of. The failure of western pundits and politicians to accurately understand the deep structural strength of Russia's civilisation has lead from one catastrophic decision to the next. And even now that defeat is obvious and immanent, much of the western establishment is still unable to see that the collapse of their grand strategy is solemnly due to their incapacity to understand the depth of Russia's strength.Today I’m talking to Andrey Maryanov, one of the more brilliant military analysts out there who’s been countering much of the western war propaganda on his blog and on YouTube for the past years. Andrei is also the author of several books, among them “America’s Final War”, “Disintegration: Indicators of the Coming American Collapse”, and “Losing Military Supremacy: The Myopia of American Strategic Planning”.Andrei‘s Blog: https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/?m=1Andrei‘s YouTube Channel:    / @smoothiex12  

Originally published on Feb 15, 2025.The „West“ is losing its power. Neither discursively nor physically are the traditional Anglo-European powers able to assert themselves on the world stage as they used to. At the same time, these powers have also lost their peace movements. What happened? In this episode we‘ll explore the decline of the peace movement that went hand in hand with the decline of „The West“ itself and chart out ideas for future peace actions.Today I’m talking to Dr. Ulrike Guérot in Germany and Dr. Jan Oberg, in Sweden. Both of them are intellectuals who founded peace organisations, Ulrike most recently the newly established “European Transcontinental Initiative” and Jan created over 30 years ago the “Transnational Foundation”. Today, we want to talk about Peace Activism with some advice from intellectuals with experience on what we all can do to get out of the escalation spiral.

Originally published on Feb 6, 2025.[Part 2 of 2] ‪‪@DrJonasToegel‬, in his new book "War Games: How NATO and the Pentagon Simulate the Destruction of Europe" (in German), reveals the incredibly brutal scenarios NATO uses not only to prepare for an attack but also to accept the deaths of millions of Europeans in order to "win" in their own simulations. The madness that emerges from these publicly planned scenarios proves the insanity of an entire caste of elites who should never have come to power and must be stopped.YT Channel of Dr. Jonas Tögel: ‪@DrJonasToegel‬ The book in German: https://www.amazon.de/Kriegsspiele-Pe...(no english translation available yet)
