A prank call to Pompeo reveals a simplistic mindset in Washington: The US will bring Russia closer to Europe after the Ukraine War to split Russia from China
- First the goal was to destroy Russia and then go after China. Now that the war will obviously be won by Russia, the plan is to turn Russia against China?
- These people should improve their intelligence analysis and watch less Games of Thrones. Moscow will not flip after the US contributed to the killing of tens of thousands of Russians, while China helped Russia in its hour of need. Also, if the US can knock out China, then the US would turn on Russia.
- The great irony is that from Gorbachev's Common European Home in the 1980s to Putin's Greater Europe lasting until 2014, the main strategic objective of Russia was to integrate with the West/Europe
- Russia has now replaced Greater Europe with Greater Eurasia. It pursues a multipolar system, which translates into a multi vector foreign policy to diversify its economic connectivity

NATO expansion is the source of the war and the territorial dispute is the symptom of the war - so why would the Russians accept a "land-for-NATO" peace agreement?
- At the Istanbul negotiations, Russia offered Ukraine the return of its land for neutrality.
- Russia considers NATO expansion to Ukraine to be an existential threat, which is why there is a war. NATO can disagree with Russia's assessment but there cannot be any doubt that this is the view of Russia that it will act upon. There is overwhelming evidence for this and no serious scholar can deny it.
- The need to preserve NATO's war narrative results in a lot of harmful self-delusion as important facts must be ignored. Paths to peace are ignored and the war is continuously escalated.

John Kerry says First Amendment is the enemy, as elites try to stamp out free speech

Our discussion with Glenn Greenwald about the anti-Russian propaganda that deprives us of rational debate and analysis

Jeffrey Sachs speaks about Sergey Lavrov. It is a great shame how diplomacy has been criminalized. To speak with adversaries is considered to "legitimise" them, and it has become obligatory to denigrate and demonise the other side to deprive them of legitimacy

Why have digital ecosystems become imperative for economic leadership, military supremacy, political influence, and dominance in the information war?
- Much like during the First Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, political sovereignty in the Fourth Industrial Revolution requires technological and industrial sovereignty
- The book was published in 2021, but all developments continue as predicted

When I was told that the YouTube purge had begun, I opened a RUtube account (Russian YouTube) and transferred all my videos there. To all my Russian friends, please consider following this channel:

YouTube reversed its ban and confirmed there had not been any "hate speech" on my channel
- I am not sure what happened. However, I was interviewed by the excellent Professor Jeffrey Sachs for his book club about my most recent book on world order. Professor Sachs said towards the end of the interview that he would see what he could do about reversing my ban, and the next day I was back on the platform
- My point of departure in any international security analysis is the security competition. Mutual understanding and recognition of competing security concerns are imperative to mitigate security competition and pursue peace. I therefore always tell my students not to hate their adversaries as it results in poor politics and diminished security. The idea that I would engage in "hate speech" is absurd

Political elites attempting to seem normal and relatable is always awkward:
- After globalisation in the 19th century, the political elites became increasingly detached from the public. Populists fill the vacuum created by the growing gap between the political elites and the public by claiming to represent the people against the elites, and the elites respond by attempting to seem relatable. The same has happened under the globalisation of our time as political elites form global networks with dependence on global institutions and global capital, thus they become less accountable to their own public
- Instead of addressing this problem honestly, we get these desperate efforts by political elites to seem normal and relatable. Every speech is narrative- and brand-building in which they focus on being raised with limited means and being just like you

Danish media: A few days before the attack on Nord Stream, US warships were in the area with their transponders switched off. The US sent the Danish harbour master back and he was not "allowed" to say anything
- US claims only Ukraine was behind the attack

Former CIA Chief of Russia Analysis, George Beebe:
- Russia and much of the world do not accept the "rules-based international order" in which the US dictate the rules and selectively decides when they are applied
- Putin is rational and wants normal diplomatic ties with NATO

I was interviewed by Anatol Lieven at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft about my book: "The Ukraine War and the Eurasian World Order"

Kamala Harris responded with a word salad on 60 minutes that was ridiculed, so CBS edited the interview
- These are the same people who demand to police your speech, and demand to censor and cancel in the name of fighting disinformation
