Should NATO be dismantled?
- What started as a defensive status-quo alliance is now an expansionist, interventionist & revisionist alliance
- What started as deterring a Soviet attack is now deterring Russia from retaliating against NATO attacks
- Does NATO enhance our security?
The West's Dangerous Self-Delusions & the Conflict With Russia
All great power rivalry is reduced and dumbed-down to a struggle between liberal democracy and authoritarianism. This simplistic heuristics compels self-delusion and the failure to maximise our own security. Peace is no longer achieved by mitigating the security competition, rather it requires defeating the world’s largest nuclear power to establish a hegemonic peace. The absurdity requires strict narrative control, which implies that facts and reality must not be allowed to disrupt the narrative. The people pushing their narratives are convinced that they are virtuous, even as they are making Europe less secure, less prosperous, and less independent.

The Europeans should start reconsidering the wisdom of continuing NATO bloc politics: Competing dependence on the US and a hostile relationship with Russia

I asked President Putin if a similar Eurasian multipolar framework can be applied to Europe to overcome the re-division of our continent and continued bloc politics.

Unlike the rivalries of the past centuries between a hegemonic maritime power and a hegemonic land power, the current conflicts in Eurasia are defined by unipolarity versus multipolarity.

Trump's victory should not have been a surprise. The era of liberal hegemony has already ended and a correction is long overdue. Trump is denounced for being transactional, yet de-ideologization and a return to pragmatism is exactly what the country needs

The "stalemate" narrative has collapsed, much like the Ukraine is winning narrative, the sanctions narrative, the Nord Stream narrative etc.
- We are now permitted to recognise that we are losing the war without being smeared by the media for repeating "Kremlin talking points"
The first step towards peace is mutual understanding. However, the obsession with narrative control results in understanding being condemned as "legitimising". In the first Cold War, it was at least permitted to explain the position of the opponent

Reducing dependence on the US dollar and the SWIFT payment system is a "threat to democracy":
- In the 19th century, British liberals argued over whether its "liberal empire" supported or undermined liberalism. Today, the contradiction continues as America's "liberal hegemony" assumes that liberalism can only exist under US dominance
- To have, for example, India-China trade depend on America's permission conflicts with key liberal ideas of self-governance
We are witnessing an impressive demonstration of narrative control: For more than two years, the political-media elites have been chanting “Ukraine is winning” to keep the war going and denounced any dissent to their narrative as “Kremlin talking points” aimed to reduce support for the war. What was “Russian propaganda” yesterday is now suddenly the media consensus

"Unacceptable retaliatory tariffs"
- Should France decide what is an acceptable response to Frech tariffs?
Most empires were "well-intentioned":
- The problem of a liberal hegemony or empire: it would exhaust US resources through imperial overstretch, diminish US liberal qualities and legitimacy as running an empire is an ugly business, and create incentives for collective balancing
Former top EU official, Thierry Breton, argues that the Europeans "had absolutely no right to speak" about ending the Ukraine War before Trump's victory. EU conformity based on shaming dissent.

Georgia used as a Pawn in Great Power Rivalry - Lasha Kasradze & Prof Glenn Diesen on Georgian TV (Imedi)
- As a divided society in a divided Europe, Georgia will unfortunately remain a pawn in great power rivalry. As the Georgian people failed to vote as Washington and Brussels demanded, the "human rights NGOs" have been activated to overturn the election result
