NYT Report: US & Venezuela Opposition Plotting Regime Change. US In Full War Preparation. Neutrality Studies 2025-09-30 | The president of peace is preparing yet another war, this time in South America. A legacy foe of Trump's first term, Mr. Nicolos Maduro is in the cross hairs (again) and the ground is being readied for an all-out intervention in Venezuela. This is not even new, the playbook is an old one—a mix of 2019 and 1989 the Trump administration is currently reading the legal grounds for claiming an Anti-Drug operation when in fact we are seeing nothing short of preparations for war with a foreign government.
Israels Nightmare: 47 Humanitarian Ships On The Way To Gaza. Neutrality Studies 2025-09-29 | The international aid flotilla is creating an impossible nightmare for Israel: either let the 47 ships loaded with humanitarian aid reach Gaza and thereby break the illusion of Israel's limitless power over the strip, or attack the ships and risk killing activists that then will only increase the international outrage against Israel's impunity. International Law is very clear on who has the moral and legal high ground in this affair.Godspeed to the Sumut Flotilla.
The Political West Is Collapsing. Imperial Globalism Is Not | Prof. Richard Sakwa Neutrality Studies 2025-09-28 | While the West champions a "rules-based order," it consistently bypasses the UN Charter it helped create. Is this selective application of international law the real driver of the new Cold War? And could a return to the universal principles of 1945 be the only way to avoid global conflict?To discuss this and more, today I’m talking to Dr. Richard Sakwa, an Emeritus Professor at the University of Kent. Professor Sakwa studies among other issues political developments in Russia, international politics, and multipolarity. He is the author of the very insightful book “The Lost Peace: How the West Failed to Prevent a Second Cold War”.We explore his analysis of the "political West" and how its post-Cold War expansion squandered a historic chance for peace. We also break down the two faces of Donald Trump's foreign policy, why European elites have become more hawkish than their American counterparts, and the dangerous suppression of intellectual debate that is silencing critical voices across the continent.Links:Richard's books (Amazon): amazon.com/stores/Richard-Sakwa/author/B001IXRYIYRichard's publications (Kent Uni): kar.kent.ac.uk/view/email/r=2Esakwa=40kent=2Eac=2Euk.htmlTimestamps:00:00:45 Introduction00:01:39 How do you interpret Trump's recent "change of heart" on Ukraine?00:04:41 US Hegemony: Continuity of agenda or a genuine chance for peace?00:10:01 What drives this conflict: Devious leaders or a systemic failure?00:23:55 The US doctrine of a "Sphere of Interference"00:30:04 Is the "with us or against us" mentality a Western cultural trait?00:38:07 How the West "lost the peace" after the Cold War00:48:00 Are there signs of hope for de-escalation?00:53:00 Does capitalism necessitate imperialism?00:58:50 Where to find Professor Sakwa's work

US Realignment SHOCKS Europe / Pakistan Changes The Game / Nepal Color Revolution? | Arnaud Bertrand Neutrality Studies 2025-09-25 | As Europe begs the US to stay, a new Trump administration appears to be pivoting away from its old allies and towards a surprising new understanding with China. Is the transatlantic alliance fracturing for good, and what does this mean for the global balance of power?To discuss this and more, today I’m talking again to Arnaud Bertrand, the French geopolitical analyst and prolific Twitter publisher.We explore the signs of a major US pivot away from Europe and towards China, and how European leaders are panicking in response. We also break down the political chaos consuming France, the game-changing new Saudi-Pakistan alliance reshaping the Middle East, and why the recent protests in Nepal might not be the color revolution some analysts claim.Links:Arnaud's X (Twitter): https://x.com/rnaudbertrandNeutrality Studies substack: pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: neutralitystudies-shop.fourthwall.comTimestamps:00:00:00 Introduction00:00:29 Turmoil in France: A Return to Instability?00:06:45 France's Diminishing Role in Europe00:10:40 Europe's "Threat Hype" to Keep the US Engaged00:20:12 Is the US Pivoting Towards China?00:28:11 New Saudi-Pakistan Alliance Reshapes West Asia00:31:24 The Iran Factor in the New Alliance00:38:03 Nepal Protests: Genuine Uprising or Color Revolution?00:50:39 What to Watch: US-China Relations & Europe's Future00:52:50 Conclusion
The EU Is Still Getting Drunk On Its Own Lies | Caroline Galactéros Neutrality Studies 2025-09-24 | Why has Europe abandoned its own interests to become a pawn in a larger geopolitical game? Has its talk of "strategic autonomy" become a hollow slogan, covering a dangerous dependency? And how has a childish "good vs. evil" narrative replaced pragmatic statecraft, pushing the continent towards a crisis it is ill-equipped to handle?To discuss this and more, today I’m talking to Dr. Caroline Galactéros. Dr. Galactéros is a former french reservist Colonel and geostrategist who taught strategy and ethics at the “Écoel de Guerre” in Paris, and she is currently running her own YouTube Channel in french called “Paix et Guerre” - “Peace and War”.We explore the deep political paralysis gripping France and how it drives President Macron's foreign policy. We also break down Europe's historical shift from a potential bridge-builder to a compliant follower of confrontational policies, the cynical failure of the Minsk Accords, and the vast disconnect between the continent's self-deceiving elites and a public hungry for truth.Links:Caroline's channel: @cgalacteros Geopragma: https://geopragma.fr/caroline-galacteros/Neutrality Studies substack: pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: neutralitystudies-shop.fourthwall.comTimestamps:00:00:00 Preview & Introduction00:01:19 The Political Deadlock in France00:07:46 France's Role in the Ukraine War00:13:41 Were the Minsk Accords a Masquerade?00:16:06 French Military vs. Political Views on Russia00:24:33 Why Europe Lost its Strategic Autonomy00:31:10 The Ideology of European Globalism00:35:13 The EU's Bureaucratic Power Grab00:38:30 Europe's Moral Superiority Complex vs. Military Reality00:41:43 Preparing for Europe's "Hangover"00:52:26 Why We Don't Learn from History00:55:47 Where to find Caroline Galacteros

Beijing Does Not Want To Rule The World | Prof. Daniel Bell Neutrality Studies 2025-09-23 | Why does the West insist on viewing China through a simplistic "democracy vs. autocracy" lens? Is it possible that China's political system is not a failed version of our own, but something fundamentally different—a unique "political meritocracy" with deep historical and cultural roots?To discuss this and more, today I’m talking to Dr. Daniel Bell, a Professor and Chair of Political Theory with the Faculty of Law at the University of Hong Kong. Professor Bell has written many important works on China, including “The China Model: Political Meritocracy and the Limits of Democracy”. The political system of China and popular misconceptions about it in the West is what we want to discuss today.Drawing on his decades of experience living and teaching in China, we explore the nuanced reality of its three-tiered political system, where different methods of selecting leaders—from local elections to meritocratic promotion—are applied at different levels. We also break down profound cultural misunderstandings, such as the true meaning of 'harmony' (diversity) versus 'sameness,' why China lacks the 'missionary impulse' to export its political model, and how the core legitimacy of its government rests on delivering material well-being to its people.Links:Daniel Bell's recent books: amazon.com/stores/author/B000AQ2HHS/allbooksNeutrality Studies substack: pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: neutralitystudies-shop.fourthwall.comTimestamps:00:00:00 Preview & Introduction00:01:40 Key Western Misconceptions About China00:07:49 How China is Governed: A Three-Tiered System00:14:20 Leadership at the Top: The Politburo & Xi Jinping's Role00:21:57 The Politics Behind China's Economic Miracle00:29:20 A Civilizational State: China's Lack of a "Missionary Impulse"00:33:19 The Challenge of Unity & Listening to Public Opinion00:41:07 Why "Totalitarian" is the Wrong Word for China
Colonel: New Wars Will End The US Empire | Lawrence Wilkerson Neutrality Studies 2025-09-21 | Donald Trump ran on ending "stupid wars," but his administration is now seen as the most chaotic and war-prone in modern history. Is this incompetence pushing the American empire over the edge, and is a catastrophic conflict with Iran the inevitable result?To discuss this and more, today I’m talking again to Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, a retired US army officer, former Chief of Staff of the Secretary of State, and a member of the activist group “Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.”We explore his stark assessment of the "unbelievable incompetence" and lack of coordinated policy in the White House, and why Trump, despite his rhetoric, "relishes killing people" through proxies. Col. Wilkerson also breaks down the historical decline of the American empire, the unstoppable shift of power back to the East, and how Israel could drag the US into a disastrous, decade-long war with Iran before Thanksgiving.Links:Eisenhower Media Network: eisenhowermedianetwork.orgNeutrality Studies substack: pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: neutralitystudies-shop.fourthwall.comTimestamps:00:00:00 Introduction00:00:58 Military vs. State Department on War00:02:35 The Trump Administration's Chaotic Approach to War00:13:57 What was the Alaska Summit about?00:15:34 Trump, Europe, and Russophobia00:20:34 The Future of US Foreign Policy After the Empire00:27:30 Why is the US Provoking Venezuela & Iran?00:32:13 Israel's Attacks & Regional Realignment00:34:15 Will Netanyahu Drag the US into War with Iran?00:38:01 Conclusion
Propaganda Researcher EXPOSES Europes Path to Self-Destruction | Dr. Jonas Tögel Neutrality Studies 2025-09-20 | While European leaders claim their support for Ukraine is a rational defense of democracy, their policies appear increasingly self-destructive. Is this a coherent strategy, or the result of a sophisticated propaganda campaign targeting their own citizens? And is the human mind becoming NATO’s next official battlefield?To discuss all this, today I’m talking again to Dr. Jonas Tögel, a German propaganda researcher working for the institute for psychology at the University of Regensburg. He is the author of the German-langauge books "War Games: How NATO and the Pentagon Simulate the Destruction of Europe” and “Cognitive Warfare: The Latest Manipulation Techniques as a NATO Weapon Category”.We explore NATO's official doctrine of "cognitive warfare" and its aim to make every citizen "resilient" to unapproved narratives. We break down the specific propaganda techniques used in mainstream German media, the dangerous irrationality driving European foreign policy, and why simply trying to understand an adversary is now treated as a thought crime.

USA Dumping Ukraine War & Rogue State Politics | Amb. Chas Freeman Neutrality Studies 2025-09-19 | The West champions a 'rules-based order' while supporting a genocide in Gaza and fueling a proxy war in Ukraine. Has this hypocrisy shattered its global moral standing for good? And are rising powers actually trying to restore the international law the West has abandoned?To discuss this and more, today I’m talking again to Ambassador Chas Freeman, a former US diplomat, and Assistant Secretary of Defense.We explore the alarming rebranding of the US Department of Defense to the "Department of War" and its historical roots in the Monroe Doctrine. We also break down the escalating tensions with Venezuela, the moral bankruptcy of Western policy on Israel-Palestine, and why Ambassador Freeman calls Europe's approach to Ukraine the "coalition of the deluded." Finally, we discuss the collapse of US diplomacy and the rise of a 'Global Majority' seeking to conserve the very international order the West now undermines.Links:Neutrality Studies substack: pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: neutralitystudies-shop.fourthwall.comTimestamps:00:00:44 Introduction00:01:05 From Department of Defense back to Department of War?00:09:11 US-Venezuela tensions & the fear of regime change00:18:01 Israel's strategy in Gaza & the role of Zionism00:27:49 Ukraine: The "Coalition of the Deluded"00:38:43 The decline of US and European diplomacy
NATOs Humiliating DEFEAT In Ukraine / Christian Zionism | Stanislav Krapivnik Neutrality Studies 2025-09-16 | While the West is still aiming for "bleeding Russia to the last Ukrainian", Kiev's chances of victory have all but evaporated. Even with NATO mercenaries here and there, the Ukrainians are losing the war while its leaders get rich. To discuss this and more, today I’m talking again to Stanislav Krapivnik, a former US Army officer, supply chain executive and military-political expert.We explore Stas' assessment that Ukraine cannot win, breaking down the evidence for a large-scale presence of NATO mercenaries on the front lines. We also analyze the mysterious drone incident in Poland, the deep-rooted corruption of Ukraine's political elite, and the dangerous internal power struggles.

Russia & China United: The USA Made Kissingers Nightmare Come True | Prof. Rein Müllerson Neutrality Studies 2025-09-13 | While the West condemns Russia's war in Ukraine, it conveniently forgets its own "sphere of interference"—from Victoria Nuland hand-picking Ukrainian leaders to NATO's relentless eastward expansion. Is this hypocrisy fueling the geopolitical reconfiguration of the world? And could neutrality be the key to de-escalation?To discuss this and more, today I’m talking again to Dr. Rein Müllerson, the former President of the Law School of Estonia’s Tallinn University.We explore the profound geopolitical reconfiguration shifting the world away from a unipolar moment and toward a multipolar reality. We break down the true root causes of the Ukraine war, from broken Western promises on NATO expansion to the deliberate undermining of the Minsk Accords. We also dissect the hypocrisy of Western foreign policy and discuss why neutrality is re-emerging as a vital tool for de-escalation and security for smaller nations caught between great powers.Links:Neutrality Studies substack: pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: neutralitystudies-shop.fourthwall.comTimestamps:00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:49 - Rein's paper on changing superpower dynamics00:14:11 - From unipolar to multipolar: Spheres of influence vs. security00:21:08 - What are the root causes of the Ukraine war?00:30:55 - How has Russia's perception of NATO changed since the 1990s?00:37:59 - Can neutrality de-escalate the conflict?00:53:18 - Final remarks: Comparing Trump, Gorbachev, and Deng Xiaoping
The Proxy-War Against Russia Is Older Than You Think, Includes Sweden | Mazze Nielsson Neutrality Studies 2025-09-12 | Sweden abandoned 200 years of neutrality to join NATO, hoping for security.

And was its independent foreign policy deliberately dismantled with the assassination of Olof Palme?To discuss this and more, today I’m talking to Mazze Nielsson, one of the host of Sweden’s Dissident Podcast to give us an update about Sweden.We explore the remilitarization frenzy sweeping the Nordics and dive into the forgotten history of Sweden's independent path under Olof Palme, who sought dialogue with the Soviet Union. We also break down the details of his suspicious assassination and how it fits a pattern of eliminating European leaders who challenged the US-led order.

The 200-Year-Old Lie Pushing Us Towards Nuclear War | Dr. Jeffrey Sachs Neutrality Studies 2025-09-10 | While the West decries Russia's demand for a "sphere of influence," it ignores its own 200-year-old Monroe Doctrine. Is this hypocrisy pushing us toward a major war? And could the solution be redefining the concept as "spheres of security"?To discuss this and more, today I’m talking again to Professor Jeffrey Sachs, a Professor at Columbia University, advisor to countless governments, and a prolific analyst—I’m absolutely sure you all know him very well.We explore his powerful argument for creating neutral buffer zones between great powers to prevent catastrophe. We also break down the dangerous "with us or against us" logic driving current conflicts, the hypocrisy of US foreign policy, and why understanding history is crucial to our survival in the nuclear age.Links:Jeffrey Sachs' essay mentioned in the video: pascallottaz.substack.com/p/sachs-and-mearsheimer-on-spheresNeutrality Studies substack: pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: neutralitystudies-shop.fourthwall.comTimestamps:00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:31 - Why 'spheres of security' instead of 'spheres of influence'?00:17:54 - How can we overcome the 'with us or against us' mentality?00:30:14 - What does renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War signify?
His Case BROKE The Internet, Exposed EU | Armando Mema Neutrality Studies 2025-09-09 | Europe's commitment to free speech is crumbling before our eyes. How can a public protest against a top EU official lead to arrest, fines, and even a "record" that could impact one's future, all while the official claims the protester is lucky to live in a free country in a show of absolute irony? Is "damage to an official" the new way to silence dissent, and what does the media's silence on this high-profile case reveal about the state of journalism in Europe?Today I’m talking to Armando Mema, the Former European Parliament candidate who hackled Ursula von der Leyen a few months ago during a speech and who was then arrested on camera while von der Leyen ironically was saying that he’s lucky living in a free country where his act is not a crime. We talk about the details of Armando's arrest, the perplexing legal charges, and the unprecedented court order restricting his future right to protest.

The West Destroyed Its Own Diplomacy | Ambs. Zorilla, Ruch & Kusai Neutrality Studies 2025-09-06 | What happened to the ancient arts of diplomacy and statecraft in Europe and North America? Why is it that there are no skilled foreign policy experts left in the West? Kaja Kalas, Marco Rubio, Annalena Baerbock, really? Is this the best we can get? And worse, think of the battalions of Rambo-Ambassadors the US sends all over the globe, who only insult foreign leaders, while the EU dashes out regulations that their embassy staff should only negotiate with autocratic states through written notes of protest—no real diplomacy allowed. What the hell happened?Well, there are explanations. A very important one is the silent murder of diplomacy as a profession in the West, by "securitising" foreign policy. While in the past, it used to be Foreign Ministry staff and their diplomats who crafted government reports and recommendations on how to approach the question of security and geopolitics, this has been largely usurped by the security crowd in the intelligence agencies, the defense departments, the military, and the military-industrial-complex linked think tanks. But there are other factors, too.In this talk, three former Ambassadors, José Zorrilla, Jean-Daniel Ruch, and Sandor Kusai, discuss the various reasons why the Euro-American world has lost not only its political but also its diplomatic skills.
Yugoslavia: The Wests Playbook for Global Domination | Dr. George Szamuely Neutrality Studies 2025-09-05 | Dr. George Szamuely reveals how the West's destruction of Yugoslavia in the 1990s became the blueprint for modern interventionism. From the illegal Badinter Commission to NATO's "humanitarian" bombing, Western powers violated international law to break up a sovereign state. This wasn't about human rights—it was about eliminating Russian influence in Europe and establishing total Western dominance. The precedents set in Yugoslavia directly enabled today's conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, and beyond. Szamuely exposes the hypocrisy of the "rules-based order" and shows how arbitrary legal interpretations serve geopolitical interests, not justice.Dr. Szamueli is a Senior Fellow at the Global Policy Institute, the co-host with Peter Lavel of the podcast “The Gaggle,” and the author of the wonderful book “Bombs for Peace: NATO’s Humanitarian War on Yugoslavia.”Links:[Book] Bombs for Peace: NATO’s Humanitarian War on Yugoslavia: amazon.com/Bombs-Peace-NATOs-Humanitarian-Yugoslavia/dp/9089645632Neutrality Studies substack: pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: neutralitystudies-shop.fourthwall.comTimestamps:0:00 - Introduction0:55 - Yugoslavia: Post-Cold War Blueprint for Intervention5:55 - The Biased Badinter Arbitration Commission13:55 - Western Aims: Dismantling Yugoslavia's Non-Alignment16:38 - Demonizing Serbia & Promoting Separatist Leaders22:00 - Bosnia: Ignoring Demography & Forcing Independence31:02 - Arbitrary Rules: Humiliating Serbs & Divide-and-Rule39:23 - Germany's Post-Reunification Aggression & Hypocrisy48:56 - Selective Justice & Morality: ICTY vs. Nuremberg53:02 - The Hubris of Western "Humanitarian" Wars1:00:29 - Yugoslavia's Legacy: A Model for Total Geopolitical Dominance1:09:07 - Conclusion
Finland: The Next Neocon War To Entrap Russia And The USA | Tuomas Malinen Neutrality Studies 2025-09-04 | Tuomas Malinen, Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Helsinki and CEO of GNS Economics, discusses Finland's dramatic shift from neutrality to NATO membership. One of President Alexander Stubb's first acts was signing a defense treaty with Ukraine, marking Finland's first military treaty with a nation at war with Russia since 1944. This represents a stark departure from Finland's historical policy of neutrality ("Finlandization").Finland is showing signs of military preparation, with airfields being expanded, military reserves planned to increase from 325,000 to 1 million by 2032, and aggressive rhetoric toward Russia unprecedented in Finland's 100 years of independence. Finland formally joined NATO on April 9, 2023 - symbolically the same calendar date as NATO's founding in 1949.Links:Tuomas’ Substack: mtmalinen.substack.comNeutrality Studies substack: pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: neutralitystudies-shop.fourthwall.comTimestamps:00:00:00 Preview & Intro00:02:01 What is Finland's role in the Ukraine war?00:05:31 Why was Finland's President invited to Washington?00:16:05 Strategy behind militarizing Finland: being set up as a threat to Russia?00:22:02 Is the 'Break Up Russia' faction still powerful?00:33:38 Does Trump have enough power to bypass the deep state?00:40:36 What is the general mood in Finland right now?00:46:43 Are Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries effective?

The Geopolitical Realities Of The Alaska Summit Neutrality Studies 2025-08-13 | In this video I take apart 3 currently circulating interpretations of what the upcoming Trump–Putin summit is all about, each carrying very different implications.First, there’s the continuity of agenda and division of labor view, put forward by Brian Berletic. This pessimistic reading assumes a coordinated plan between factions in Washington and Moscow, with the summit as part of a pre-agreed script. Historically plausible, it risks overestimating cohesion in the US political system, ignoring factional disputes and moments of genuine change. As Edward Snowden warned, it may project deliberate intent onto loosely connected events.Second, Trump might be out of options to avoid a humiliating defeat. This aligns with the first view but adds elements of uncertainty: Trump could be seeking a face-saving exit from the Ukraine conflict. Short-term damage control might outweigh the deep state’s long-term strategic goals, potentially to prevent Ukraine’s total destruction—a stance Trump voiced during his campaign.Third, Trump could be genuinely pursuing peace. This optimistic scenario casts him as an outsider correcting the system, even against internal resistance. It’s contradicted by recent hawkish moves—like the Iran war scare and neocon appointments—but could be explained by misinformation and sabotage. If true, the summit might signal a real pivot in US foreign policy toward disengagement.Our shop: neutralitystudies-shop.fourthwall.com
EPIC Loss For Anti-China Hawks In Taiwan. This Changes Everything. | Dr. Joanna Lei Neutrality Studies 2025-08-12 | Today I’m talking again to Dr. Joanna Lei, a former KMT lawmaker in Taiwan as well as a media executive in the US.Today is August 7th and only 10 days ago, on the last weekend of July we had a rather important extraordinary election in Taiwan. 24 KMT parliamentiarns were under the threat of being unseated in a mass-recall. Now, recalls are a proper constitutional measure in Taiwan to take down law makers before their mandate is over. It’s a bit like an impeachment for a president—sometimes if someone did something criminal or outrageous, you might wanna get rid of them before their time is officially over. However, what we have never seen is a coordinated attack on so many parliamentarians at the same time and all of them against KMT members, that is the party holding the majority in parliament but not the executive branch which is held by President Lai Ching-te, a DPP politician. Now, the recall failed epically, all 24 MPs were reaffirmed by their constituencies. What this means is what we wanna discuss today.Links:Timestamps:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:36 Interpreting the KMT Recall Outcome 00:03:33 Was the Recall an Attempt to Overturn Parliament? 00:10:48 Impact of Failed Recalls on Upcoming Votes 00:14:40 Law Changes and Recall Abuse vs. Democracy 00:16:07 Public Sentiment on Pro/Anti-China Politics 00:18:00 Voter Motivation & Possible Chinese Interference 00:23:11 Role of NGOs and Foreign Influence in Taiwan 00:29:45 Political Impact of the Second Recall Round 00:35:02 Can the KMT Build Ties with Mainland China? 00:38:36 Why Political Cooperation With Mainland Remains Difficult 00:41:23 Will the DPP Rethink Foreign & Economic Policy? 00:46:20 Current Political Balance in Taiwan
