    Asia DESTROYES US Pacific Hegemony. End of Alliances | Prof. Jomo Kwame Sundaram

    While the US is busy destroying itself in Eastern Europe and West Asia, East Asia, too, is busy preparing for countering US warmongering. But not the way you think. South East Asia is engaged in its own cat and mouse game with the hegemon. Jomo Kwame Sundaram, Malaysian economist, research adviser at Khazanah Research Institute, emeritus professor, and former UN assistant secretary-general, discusses how the Iran war affects ASEAN energy, food, and trade. He examines Indonesia, the Strait of Malacca, ASEAN neutrality, BRICS, debt and the dollar system, and why the Non-Aligned Movement needs new life through peace, sustainable development, and resistance to militarization.Links:Jomo Kwame Sundaram Substack: https://jomodevplus.substack.comJomo Kwame Sundaram at Inter Press Service: https://www.ipsnews.net/author/jomo-k...Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:01 Iran war impacts on Malaysia and ASEAN00:04:07 How ASEAN sees the Iran war00:07:33 Strait of Malacca and military pressure00:12:38 Non-alignment and Indonesia’s political shift00:19:12 Indonesia’s stability and foreign pressure00:26:55 BRICS, debt, and the Global South00:37:55 Why the Non-Aligned Movement faded00:43:03 Peace and sustainable development00:46:36 How to revive the Non-Aligned Movement00:51:18 Can ASEAN lead non-alignment?00:56:52 A positive vision for the NAM01:00:14 Where to follow Jomo

    Russia's Biggest FEAR | Prof. Alastair Renfrew

    They keep portraying Russia as a power-hungry mad-dog. But the truth is that whoever the leadership in Moscow (or St. Petersburg) was, the one thing all leaders wanted above all, was security. Security from centuries of invasion. Just how to communicate that to a West that is hell-bend on claiming the Kremlin is an expansionist power?Professor Alistair Renfrew of Durham University discusses the West’s long-running misunderstanding of Russian security policy. He examines Russian fears of invasion, the civil war intervention, NATO expansion, Georgia, Ukraine, the Minsk process, failed peace talks, and Europe’s rearmament. Renfrew argues that Russia’s policy is mainly defensive and warns that Europe is taking risks without a clear path to peace.Find Alastair on Substack: @alessandrodelguado &Alastair’s Novel:  www.faktionbooks.comSupport us here:Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00:00 Introduction00:00:54 Why Russia Is Misunderstood00:04:53 Soviet Fears and Foreign Intervention00:09:50 Allied Intervention in 1918–2200:13:16 The Lasting Impact of World War II00:17:15 Why Russia’s Message Is Ignored00:26:55 Georgia and the Provocation Trap00:31:17 Minsk, Donbas and the 2022 Talks00:35:11 Who Gains From the War?00:42:59 Why Europe Is Rearming00:49:58 Can Russia Avoid a Wider War?00:53:42 Where to Follow Alistair Renfrew
