About this episode

Ghost and War Hamster Brady discuss the geopolitical implications of Yevgeny Primakov's doctrine and its relevance to current global events.

Ghost welcomes War Hamster Brady back to the Badlands for a deep dive into a name most people have never heard but probably should: Yevgeny Primakov. Political mentor to both Putin and Lavrov, Primakov drafted a doctrine in the 1990s that Brady argues is basically the blueprint for everything unfolding on the world stage right now. The two trace it all back to the fall of the Soviet Union, that famous "not one inch" NATO promise, oligarch chaos, and the long game of building a Eurasian counterweight to Western dollar dominance. Expect maps, a rescued 1997 Heritage Foundation article, a tour through reserve currency history from the Dutch Guilder to today, and a healthy dose of "how does the world actually work" energy. Heavy on geopolitics, light on hand waving. If you like your history with receipts and a few dots connected, this one delivers.
