8/9/2024 Episode 102 of Blowback: Exposing Imperial Decline with special guests Greg Rosen and Leo Zhao.
Discussion focuses on a variety of topics: Ukraine's "Kursk Invasion", essentially a border crossing that has gotten gradually larger, with the involvement of a special forces brigade. With no actual strategic value, the incursion is widely believed (on both sides of the dialog) to be an exercise, once again, in optics, a p.r. stunt to get Kiev in a better negotiating position, raise morale for a virtually collapsing army, etc. Maybe it's "Kursk 2.0" for the Germans. • EU tightens the garrote on Hungary and Slovakia, seen as "deviants" from the Western "globalist script". • Another topic of attention is whether Ukraine is really near collapse, in which case its military capability should dissolve before 2025, or if the country, with stubborn support from Western neocons, will be persuaded or forced to fight on, and whether or not Europe is willing to sacrifice itself for the sake of the globalist capitalist class. • Meantime, the UK riots point to the threat and promise of the rising right movements and parties, many of which may refuse to be incorporated into the anti-Russia project, while still holding contradictory views toward Israel, which even hardcore neonazis seem to support. Still, dark rumblings across many Western countries, the riots in the UK, etc., signal that the near future may see mass challenges to the West's puppet elites, whose rule, for the benefit of Washington, and the growing economic insecurity caused by capitalism, underscores the lack of pervasive sovereignty of the entire continent. • The panel looks at the situation in the Middle East, where any war between Iran and Israel can be catastrophic to the main countries involved and the world economy. This and much more in this edition.
