Israel's Worst Nightmare Just Came True | Iran Deal Interview With Dimitri Lascaris

Nuclear Scientist: They Are Pushing For Nuclear War | Ivana Hughes And Radhika Desai

Are we living through the most dangerous nuclear moment since the dawn of the atomic age? The evidence suggests we are, and yet nuclear weapons have all but disappeared from public discourse in the West. I am joined by Professor Ivana Nikolić Hughes, president of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and senior lecturer in chemistry at Columbia University, to explore why the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty has failed, who is really driving nuclear escalation, and why the history of capitalism and imperialism cannot be separated from the history of nuclear weapons. The primary responsibility for the escalating danger of nuclear war lies not in Moscow or Beijing, but in Washington, London, and Paris.

Israel's Worst Nightmare Just Came True | Iran Deal Interview With Dimitri Lascaris

this Geopolitical Economy interview, I speak with Dimitri Lascaris about the implications of the new US-Iran agreement and what it reveals about the changing balance of power in the Middle East. We examine why the deal represents a major strategic setback for Israel, how Iran emerged from the conflict in a stronger position than many expected, and what this outcome tells us about the limits of military power, the future of regional geopolitics, and the broader decline of Western dominance in an increasingly multipolar world.

The Deal Israel Feared Most Came To Life | Interview With Mohammad Marandi

As more information about the content of the Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran emerges, the full scale of Iran’s resounding victory is becoming clear. This interview with the renowned Professor Marandi, we explore the scale of the defeat of the US and Israel, the vindication of the Islamic Republic’s historic support for the oppressed and downtrodden of the world, the direct result of this victory in empowering the people around the world, in particular in the West Asian region, where imperialism has supported autocracy for over a century and used them as supports for Zionism, and even in the US, where popular revulsion against the war played a critical role in forcing Trump to end the War.

Iran Defeated The US Empire. What Happens Next? Michael Hudson and Radhika Desai

Trump’s ‘deal’ with Iran represents the end of Trumps’ futile search for an off ramp from the conflict that can be tarted up to look like a victory, at least to the most credulous and loyal of his dwindling following. Michael Hudson and Radhika Desai assess this defeat and its implications for the US economy, for US politics, the dollar system and on how it will accelerate the construction of more democratic institutions of international governance.

The West Couldn't Break North Korea And Now They're Afraid | Keith Bennett and Radhika Desai

President Xi Jinping followed up his summits with Presidents Putin and Trump with his first foreign trip of the year. The destination – North Korea, or the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, a nation of some 26 million normally portrayed in the Western media as a dangerously authoritarian state, an economic basket case, worthy of attention only for its nuclear weapons – may seem a surprise to many. However, as veteran Korea observer, Keith Bennett and Radhika Desai discuss, neither the destination nor the timing should surprise anyone with a sense of the intertwined histories of the Chinese and Korean revolutions (not to mention the Soviet) and the continuing cooperation between the two countries, founded on socialist solidarity. Nor should it surprise them that, amid the chaos unleashed on the world by a declining West, China and North Korea are quietly renewing their relations for a new phase of history, and their common history. Keith and Radhika discuss the socialist foundations of one of the most enduring international relationships of the modern era, the myths Western journalists and scholars perpetuate about North Korea, and the unexpected twist the matter of Korean reunification has taken.
