War Room. Strategies, tactics and techniques for communication

Geopolitics is not shaped by governments, leaders and military power alone. Behind every strategic decision are peoples, cultures, memories and collective attitudes that influence the course of history.
In the first episode of War Room, Franco Pomilio sits down with Dario Fabbri to explore the idea of human geopolitics: an approach that looks beyond institutions and power structures to understand the societies, histories and cultural forces that shape them.
Their conversation examines Europe’s place in a world dominated by major powers, its relationship with the United States, and the tension between Europe’s rule-based approach and geopolitical systems more willing to rely on hard power.
The episode also explores the role of communication. How much can narratives and propaganda really change the way societies think? For Fabbri, the most effective narratives do not create feelings from nothing: they work because they connect with identities, memories and sentiments that already exist.
War Room was created to investigate precisely this space — where geopolitics, culture, communication and strategy meet, and where the way we understand the world begins to take shape.
