Everyone Says WW3 Is Coming. Is this true? | Radhika Desai Geopolitical Economy Explainer

Are we entering World War III? As conflicts spread across multiple regions and tensions rise among major powers, many commentators warn that a new world war is already underway. In this explainer, I argue that while today's conflicts are serious and dangerous, they are fundamentally different from the world wars of the twentieth century. Those wars emerged from the rivalries of competing imperial powers in a colonial world order that no longer exists. By examining the historical origins of world wars, the role of imperialism, and the transformations brought about by anti-colonial and socialist struggles, I explain why understanding today's conflicts requires a different perspective.

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.

Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare by Gareth Porter 4. A Dangerous Delusion: Why the West Is Wrong about Nuclear Iran by David Morrison and Peter Oborne

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.
