- Col. Jacques Baud: Why the EU Is Failing on Every Front
EU sanctions freeze an analyst's accounts in Brussels—no court trial, no due process—leaving him unable to buy food or travel. He critiques the EU's erosion of rule of law, where political decisions bypass legal safeguards, setting dangerous precedents for citizens' rights.
The EU's foreign policy is in disarray: no unified strategy among 27 members with divergent interests, over-fixation on weakening Russia while neglecting Ukraine's future, and failure as a mediator in Palestine, Iran, and Syria. Rather than independent diplomacy, Brussels acts as a US vassal—silent on humanitarian crises, unable to counter American moves in Greenland or Venezuela.
With leadership focused solely on sustaining the Ukraine conflict to keep Washington engaged, Europe lacks coherent objectives, strategy, or credibility on the global stage—revealing a structural crisis at the heart of the Union.

1 hr 1 min - Alastair Crooke: Davos Turns Awkward as Trump Corners EU LeadersIn this interview, recorded on January 25, 2026, the recent unrest in Iran is analyzed as a coordinated foreign-backed operation involving trained rioters, MEK, and Kurdish groups, aiming to destabilize the country through economic sabotage, violent riots, and false narratives. The discussion reveals how Iran’s swift internet and Starlink shutdowns disrupted external command structures, leading to the failure of the insurrection. Contrary to Western media portrayals, no significant internal fractures or elite defections occurred. The conversation also covers Trump’s renewed interest in acquiring Greenland, Europe’s strategic dependence on the U.S., and the fragility of American geopolitics amid economic pressures and midterm anxieties. Finally, the so-called “Board of Peace” is critiqued as a transactional, Trump-centered alternative to multilateral institutions, reflecting a shift away from the rules-based international order.

1 hr 4 min - Larry C. Johnson & Col. Larry Wilkerson: Colossal Shifts Are Underwayexperts analyze escalating U.S. military buildup in West Asia, warning of a potential coordinated strike on Iran with Israel. They argue the threat from Iran is exaggerated to justify aggression, highlight Iran’s improved defenses since 2025, and warn of catastrophic regional consequences—including closure of the Strait of Hormuz and destruction of U.S. bases. The discussion also covers Trump’s erratic foreign policy, Zionist influence, resource-driven motives in Venezuela and Greenland, and the broader decline of U.S. global hegemony amid rising Chinese economic power. Critiques extend to NATO’s irrelevance, Europe’s subservience, and the dangerous illusion that military force can reverse geopolitical shifts.

54 min - Andrei Martyanov: "Game Over": Russia's Plan to End Everything is Now ActiveIn this January 2026 interview, geopolitical analyst Andre Martianov discusses the collapse of European influence, U.S. strategic decline, and the rise of a multipolar world led by Russia, China, and emerging powers. He critiques U.S. foreign policy as driven by domestic politics and incompetence, highlights Iran’s strengthened position amid regional tensions, and explains why Ukraine’s statehood is nearing total collapse. Topics include Trump’s Greenland ambitions, failed Western interventions in Latin America, and the irrelevance of institutions like the UN compared to BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

1 hr - Richard Wolff & Michael Hudson: This Could Break NATO: Trump, Rutte, and Europe’s Last StandAt Davos 2026, analysts dissect how U.S. geopolitical moves—like targeting Greenland and pushing a “rules-based order”—mask a deeper economic agenda: preserving dollar hegemony and blocking Eurasian integration. Trump’s “peace” rhetoric is seen as a pretext for military-economic control, while Europe grapples with subordination or resistance. The real global shift lies in the rise of China’s state-capitalist model, outpacing Western economies in key sectors like EVs. Meanwhile, grassroots movements—from Minneapolis to France—signal growing domestic unrest and rejection of neoliberal orthodoxy. The discussion underscores a tectonic realignment: anti-colonial sentiment, labor revolts, and the failure of U.S.-led unipolarity.
