Pepe Escobar with ‘b๐mbshell’ Danny
NO Trump DEAL, Ukraine DONE | Mark Sleboda JOINS
(No, Sleboda does not join, but follows, and I have not listened to that. It is good to hear Pepe out). At the end he describes the pressures on Trump, but also his ‘escape route’ that we see beginning to play out.
About 22 minutes in and I am starting to wonder. So what Trump is doing achieves the same thing Hudson and the owner of this site want. It is more viable since the neocons will not matter. However, it takes a bit longer so there is more mayhem in the… Read more »
The key is they do not have the money and need to borrow at high interest rates. It cannot go on for long, unless they are as gluttons for punishment.
Plus, does it not look like France may be having a replay of 1789 already?
rosneft & the kara sea, like baidu, huawai & the chinese princess are reminders of opportunities lost, miscalculations, hubris & bad bets. the allure of retrieving what was lost is blinding, headlights become golden heaps of what might have been & shall be after all. just when it’s needed most,… Read more »
emersonreturn .. this piece: “i hadn’t realized pepe, like alex krainer, tends to view ‘the ringmaster’ to be working converse to empire, ” Pepe is not of that view. Not so sure how we got to this point but I can assure you Pepe does not view it like this.… Read more »
welcome news, amarynth! i’ll listen to this again, & note where i misheard. i shan’t bother sharing…you’re too busy & i am grateful you’ve taken time to clarified this.
Dear Emersonreturn: I can credit Amarynth with being basically right about Trump not being motivated converse to Empire. That is true as far as Trump himself goes. But my reading of Pepe’s conversation with Danny was that Pepe was making a big deal of the skill with which Putin was… Read more »
agreed, dear snowy, the axis have been working every brain cell, corpuscle to make this happen their entire lives…from xi communing with peasants imbued with the wisdom of confucius to putin engaging hoodlums & rats in petrograd, all sacrifices impossible not to alter a collective’s DNA: butterflies impacting the air… Read more »
I pay zero attention to Krainer, Amarynth. He spent the first few months of his miraculous rise to internet fame discussing all of these new geopolitical developments, and never once mentioned the word BRICS – it was as if the organisation didn’t even exist. Then it was some theory of… Read more »
Gough Whitlam? Does the 1986 Act prevent this kind of ะณะพะฒะฝะพ from ever occurring again?
Yeah, this is a good depiction:
We hear the Man of the Match Luv’rov’s sweatshirts are sold out in Russia and the next batch will only be in in about two months. (Has anyone called China?)
The ‘only’ way I can listen to an ‘interview’ by Danny… is to mute him while he is speaking… and cancel mute when folks like Pepe begin to speak… Danny… in my view … is not an interviewer … he attempts to present his view… Danny could take a page… Read more »
Danny’s my fav interviewer of Pepe — they’ve excellent chemistry.
He’s changed in last year. We’re all going mad. He was more nuanced, leaving the space to guests.
But like the condemned offered “last meals” before the gallows, he’s using more of the space to share his own mind now
IIRC, he mentioned (at least) once that he was DC. Being in Brazil like Nima and possibly Thailand like Brian might be relatively safer at this point. Not just the DC common criminals but the Mafia headquartered at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest Washington, D.C., 20500 and East Capitol Street Northeast… Read more »
Dear Pepe, a ‘reset’ language makes my hair stand up. A temp strategy change? Russia is negotiating this one with an aplomb bomb! and immense skill, just exactly as they want it. (Change missile targets). Give the US an offramp, it is their problem and they will take it only… Read more »
The US cannot take an off ramp – it is tantamount to conceding Hegemony… The current dance serves the Last Zionist Empire in several ways, buying time: it optically preserves hegemony, by delaying 404-NATO Defeat — to the Last EuroCrazy if need be it floats the Petrodollar a little while… Read more »
