This is a very complex & spirited discussion between Alexander Dugin & Pepe Escobar, hosted by Dimitri Simes Jr that you don't want to miss. In fact, you will likely need to listen to it multiple times to begin to really understand the many interrelated geopolitical changes now happening in the world. The following are just a few observations about this discussion that will hopefully wet your appetite to listen carefully to the entire discussion.

They mentioned that this discussion took place shortly after Putin visited North Korea & the Russian Navy visited Cuba. Putin arrived in North Korea on June 18th. The Russian Naval ships arrived in Cuba on June 12th. Also, they didn't mention that Biden was forced to drop out of the race. Keep these dates in mind as you listen to their discussion, since they are much earlier than when this was published.

As you listen to this discussion, carefully notice that their definition of the 'Deep State' within the United States is somewhat different than we are used to using. Alexander & Pepe go back & forth discussing Trump's potential influence if he gets elected.

Although Alexander & Pepe have different perspectives on what is happening in the world and possible paths forward, they both understand the the hegemonic position of the United States is a serious problem that the BRICS nations & multi-polar nations are resisting. Notice that de-dollarization among BRICS nations is a major weapon being used against the United States, especially since American has weaponized the $dollar in international trade.

Since the United States, NATO & the West has been fighting proxy wars against Russia, especially in Ukraine, it looks like Russia & China will be working with enemies of the West to return the favor. In the past, Russia has tried to cooperate with the West, yet the West is hell bent on surrounding Russia with NATO & nuclear weapons & explicitly desires to break Russia up. Instead of coming to an agreement with Russia in early 2022 after Russia started the Special Military Operation (SMO) in Ukraine to get the attention of the West, the United States decided to fight Russia via Ukraine instead of finding a peaceful solution. The West didn't anticipate that Russia would 'wake up' & realize that they could stand against the entire West & their sanctions. Even in 2013, the Russian GDP grew by 3.6%, which was higher than the entire G20 nations. It looks like the GDP of the Russian economy will grow even more in 2024. The 'Bear' is now awake.

They also discuss the disaster with Israel, Gaza & the issues of the greater Middle East.
