New episode with KJ Noh. The US has controlled South Korea’s military since 1950 and still won’t give it back. Washington is now setting South Korea up as its Ukraine against China. youtu.be/lDUzcuMlHFQ?si=qoqB…
New discussion with Sushant Singh (@SushantSin ) on the protests shaking India.
Young people are being beaten and jailed in Delhi over the electoral rolls. Modi's invincible aura, however, has been shattered. Is this the end for him? youtu.be/PjIX_PnZcDc?si=VtWJ…
The irony of dedollarization is that it is happening, but no alternative is ready. Instead, the dollar system is collapsing under its own contradictions, while elites, especially those from the World Majority, continue to park their wealth in dollars: youtu.be/qNe_02uP5jk?si=oPZD…
New episode with Dimitri Lascaris, who calls Mark Carney “arguably the greatest political scam in Canadian history.” We discuss how Carney plays the defender of Canada while selling it off to Trump, and why Canadians have yet to see through the act.youtu.be/zgSWMIui-ok?si=i7v8…
New episode with Michael Hudson on the AI bubble.
The US wants AI as a monopoly choke point on the world economy, while China is handing out open-source models. Watch it here: youtu.be/qBR9duB35eQ?si=afNE…
I spoke with Professor Mohammad Marandi at the Valdai Club in Moscow about the weakened Gulf monarchies and how the American War on Iran has backfired: youtu.be/38dMSIKOENc?si=rBJn…
New discussion with Laith Marouf from Free Palestine TV about the Iran War lull, the Saudi retreat in Yemen, the Mecca alliance, and how the economic blowback is hitting the West harder than Iran: youtu.be/tVOJhCZvHJA?si=R8oP…
Trump's summit with Xi produced almost nothing concrete. No deal on Taiwan, AI or Iran. But he greeted Xi at Andrews Air Force Base, something no US president has done in 60 years. Einar Tangen joins me to discuss what the summit really meant: youtu.be/c60t9Q-4DKo?si=fqa0…
The Fed, alongside many other global so-called independent central banks, just raised interest rates. But today's inflation comes from war and supply shocks, not excess demand. So why hike? @RichardJMurphy joins me to answer this question: youtu.be/pbLO_n1wOa0?si=NvVK…
For the first time in its history, South Korea has told Washington "No". It refused to send troops to Trump's war on Iran. I am joined by KJ Noh to discuss this:

India had a choice: join the new multipolar order with China and Russia, or keep betting on a declining American century. I am joined by Pravin Sawhney (@PravinSawhney) to discuss why India abandoned its sovereignty and chose the latter. youtu.be/TLH9u9A4Ewg?si=bgYe…
India helped write BRICS's founding vision twenty years ago. At this year's summit, however, it impeded de-dollarization, AI cooperation, and climate coordination. Sushant Singh (@SushantSin ) joins me to discuss why India did that: youtu.be/37aHt69ViHE?si=AbFW…

New episode with Professor Mohammad Marandi. Iran has gone on the offensive and its retaliation is now hitting harder than the US strikes it's answering. The Gulf regimes are running out of money, while only one side actually wants this war to continue youtu.be/wUZ8JQt4qiA?si=Ihlt…

Discussion with Keith Bennett about China's foreign policy, Pol Pot, and Socialism's Civil War. youtu.be/8q614WLcyQ0?si=K-xT…
The West is mourning Zhu Rongji as China's 'liberal hero,' who supposedly could have saved China from Xi. I talked to Mick Dunford about why that story is mostly a Western invention. New episode below. youtu.be/Olg02jMaSpM?si=-x91…
Why does the West insist on defending Israel even as it wrecks its own empire? I sat down with Laith Marouf (Free Palestine TV) to unpack why Washington's shift to economic warfare on Iran is a mark of desperation, not strategy: youtu.be/QQ_PlLTXVFA?si=nBSI…
