Geopolitical Economy Hour: 2-part conversation between Radhika Desai, Michael Hudson, and Pepe Escobar
Geopolitical Economy Hour: 2-part conversation between Radhika Desai, Michael Hudson, and Pepe Escobar
Part 1: NATO failed in Ukraine against Russia. Now it's targeting China (Youtube/Invidious)
Part 2: Anti-China hawks' drive to expand NATO into Asia may destroy Western military alliance (Youtube/Invidious)
Personally I found some of Escobar's comments in part 2, around @8:03 regarding DPRK to be pretty interesting. He talks about how although the Western media focuses on the military aspect of relations between Russia and DPRK, that recently, signs are showing of Russia's intention to help with getting DPRK re-integrated into international trade and especially his comments in regard to building a trans-Korean railway to link with the trans-Siberian railway and how this topic is likely to come up on the next Eastern Economic forum in September. (This railway concept isn't a new one, but I found his comments about recent events interesting) as well as potential inclusion in other trade deals/organizations, etc.
Anyway, just sharing these. They cover a lot of topics in this discussion.
