About this episode

The episode discusses how the Iran war has weakened Europe in relation to the US and the implications for global geopolitics.

Europe is weaker relative to the US now than at any time since the end of World War 2 – the result of deliberate US strategy to subordinate its allies in order to create a disciplined bloc ready for major war against China. The Iran war has accelerated Europe’s difficulties.
