The Neocon's NEXT Big Scheme: Trap Russia in Ukraine | Prof. Glenn Diesen

Originally published on 3 August 2024.
What if the Neocons are actually on the same page with us? What if they do not believe their own lies and they know precisely what's happening on the battle field? And what if they are happy with it, because they have a plan. The 'Afghanization' of Ukraine has been an option on their play book ever since 2022. And now we are at the verge of a Russian "victory" which the neocons would love to transform into a phyrric one by poisoning what Russia can possibly hope to achieve. Even if this was not the original plan, what if the neocons are going to try everything they can to prevent an end to the war and keep Russia permanently bogged down and permanently bleeding—even if that means literally sacrificing the very last Ukrainian?

In this talk I'm exploring that option with Professor Glenn Diesen, a professor at the University of Southeast Norway and an associate editor at the Journal “Russia in Global Affairs”.
