Geopolitical Storm Brewing from Palestine to Ukraine

In this week’s episode of the New Rules podcast, host Dimitri Simes Jr. speaks with veteran geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar about why the Global American Empire needs war in Gaza to maintain its geopolitical hegemony. “This [conflict] proves once again that the US will never leave West Asia. The region is absolutely essential for the empire, considering that the Americans are being slowly, but surely and very forcefully expelled from the big Eurasia by the Russia-China strategic partnership – by their trade deals, their multilateral organizations and economic integration projects. All that goes completely against American domination of Eurasia.”
