Pepe Escobar: China CHECKMATES, India Faces Its TOUGHEST Challenge Yet as Russia, Iran Gear Up!!

A candid, critical discussion on global geopolitics, focusing on U.S. foreign policy under Trump, nuclear tensions with Russia, and the weaponization of diplomacy. The interview highlights the dangers of misinformation, media manipulation, and the erosion of rational discourse. It examines the U.S. response to Medvedev’s remarks, the myth of diplomatic engagement with Iran and Russia, and the strategic pushback by BRICS nations, especially Brazil’s stance on dedollarization. The conversation underscores how American actions—driven by military-industrial interests and a "settler mentality"—are accelerating global fragmentation rather than fostering cooperation. With sharp insights into Europe’s complicity in the Gaza conflict, the futility of NATO’s anti-Russia posture, and the looming threat of false-flag operations, the dialogue paints a grim picture of a world where diplomacy is dead. Yet, it finds hope in sovereign nations resisting coercion and building alternative systems. Recorded near the sea, the setting contrasts with the urgency of the message: despite the chaos, we must keep fighting for truth and justice.
