Podcasts about The Grand Chessboard

Indian geopolitical analyst, scientist, and podcaster Abhijit Chavda explores India's evolving role in global geopolitics, particularly amid the rise of multipolarity and intensifying U.S.-China tensions. Chavda highlights India's strategic shift from post-independence nonalignment to an increasingly assertive global presence under Prime Minister Modi. He discusses India's geographic advantages, economic growth, and ambition to become a major manufacturing hub despite internal challenges like bureaucracy and inadequate education systems. The conversation touches on India's desire to maintain positive relations with both Western and Eastern blocs, while avoiding entanglement in great power rivalries. They also address Western perceptions of India, growing xenophobia, and the implications of AI and technological arms races, concluding that the U.S. remains the dominant superpower but faces critical decisions in a rapidly changing global order.

Jason announces a four-part discussion with Ivor Cummins about 'conspiracy facts' relating to elite infringement on personal freedoms. He also talks about the advantages of investing in single family homes over commercial properties, citing a record high of affordable homes being purchased by investors in the last quarter. Lastly, he emphasized the significant housing shortage in the US, particularly in entry-level homes. Then Jason welcomes Ivor Cummins, author of "Eat Rich, Live Long!", who transitioned from corporate problem-solving to investigating food supply corruption. He shared a conference stage with Jason Hartman, discussing elite class agendas. Cummins, a biochemical engineer, criticized the handling of COVID-19, comparing it to a severe flu. He believes media and pharmaceutical industries push biased information. Cummins also explores the World Economic Forum, linking its origins to Rockefeller influences and global control ambitions. He argues that climate change and pandemics are manipulated narratives. Cummins emphasizes the need for a broad, integrative approach to understand these complex, interwoven issues.

Martijntje Smits in gesprek met Jakob de Jonge, voorzitter van The Hague Peace Projects. Sinds de oprichting in 2014 zet deze organisatie zich in om via dialoog conflicten te beëindigen en vrede te realiseren. Dit gesprek focust op de oorlog in Oekraïne. Was dit conflict te vermijden? Wat is de voorgeschiedenis en welke belangen spelen er op de achtergrond? Hoe kunnen wij als burgers bijdragen aan een vreedzame oplossing en op langere termijn verzoening? Jakob de Jonge schetst een compleet ander beeld dan wat we in de kranten lezen. "We zijn onderaannemers van de V.S. in dit conflict."

Although Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 caught many analysts off-guard, Ukrainian-born scholar Ivan Katchanovski (University of Ottawa) predicted the growth of tensions well before the Maidan. In some respects, the Ukraine War as well as Vladimir Putin and Putinism had their roots in the early 1990s. On the one hand, the West made contradictory promises to Ukraine about its security while demanding they give up nuclear arms, and on the other, Zbigniew Brzezinski's fears (The Grand Chessboard, 1997) of America's “mismanagement” of its Russia policies were slowly realized. At the same time, Russia's poverty and instability in the 1990s gave rise to ultra-nationalism and other forms of right-wing discourse which would eventually go mainstream. In ArtiFact #38, Alex Sheremet is joined by Ivan Katchanovski to discuss some lesser-known details of Russian and Ukrainian history in light of the Ukraine War.

The Grand Chessboard By Zbigniew Brezenzinski: Chapter 7: Part 3-4 - John Lothe https://johnlothe.wordpress.com/ www.youtube.com/user/JohnLothe The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives (1997) is one of the major works of Zbigniew Brzezinski. Brzezinski graduated with a PhD from Harvard University in 1953 and became Professor of American Foreign Policy at Johns Hopkins University. He was later the United States National Security Advisor from 1977 to 1981, under the administration of President Jimmy Carter. Regarding the landmass of Eurasia as the center of global power, Brzezinski sets out to formulate a Eurasian geostrategy for the United States. In particular, he writes that no Eurasian challenger should emerge that can dominate Eurasia and thus also challenge U.S. global pre-eminence. Much of Brzezinski's analysis is concerned with geostrategy in Central Asia, focusing on the exercise of power on the Eurasian landmass in a post-Soviet environment. In his chapter dedicated to what he refers to as the "Eurasian Balkans", he uses Halford J. Mackinder's Heartland Theory. The book was critically reviewed by The New York Times,[1] Kirkus Reviews,[2] Foreign Affairs,[3] and other publications. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_Chessboard Audio taken from: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu5tKfQq0iybAoqpQcrA2QDUGAGnigaCM Read Here: https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/BD/BD4CE651B07CCB8CB069F9999F0EADEE_Zbigniew_Brzezinski_-_The_Grand_ChessBoard.pdf

Regarding the landmass of Eurasia as the center of global power, Brzezinski sets out to formulate a Eurasian geostrategy for the United States. In particular, he writes that no Eurasian challenger should emerge that can dominate Eurasia and thus also challenge U.S. global pre-eminence. Much of Brzezinski's analysis is concerned with geostrategy in Central Asia, focusing on the exercise of power on the Eurasian landmass in a post-Soviet environment.

In this episode I take a comprehensive look at the geopolitical dynamics behind the current situation in Ukraine, with a particular focus on the long-developing tensions between the governing elites of the US and Russia. This presentation is based around exploring the following key themes:1. I begin with an overview of the core philosophical themes that I emphasize on this channel and in my publications.2. I then move on to build a basic sociological model of empire, where a small ruling class of military, financial, and corporate interests forms a centralized, extractive relationship in relation to the rest of society, as well as with other civilization units outside of itself.3. I then give a short overview of American empire and discuss its strategic perspective on Eurasian politics and economics.4. This all sets the stage for an in-depth discussion of post-Cold War US and Russia relations. This discussion leads up to a close look at the current situation in Ukraine.5. I finish this presentation by considering what the grand strategy of the American governing elite might be and consider how events pertaining to the Great Reset interface with that strategy. Here, I discuss how the economic and political consequences of this Ukraine situation relate to the Great Reset. I conclude by wondering if and how the recent UFO revelations and the existence of a "Secret Space Program" concealed within and behind the American national security establishment will impact the unfoldment of current events.Thanks for tuning in.

We continue our Ukraine coverage, this time with Zachary Paikin, a non-resident fellow for the Institute for Peace and Diplomacy and a research for the EU affairs-focused think tanks CEPS. We'll discuss the invasion, thoughts on Putin and his decision to invade, the psychoanalysis of Putin and the ideas (prior to the invasion) that he was a master of the Grand Chessboard vs. the idea that he's gone mad with the invasion, the EU, NATO, No-Fly Zone debate, sanctions, the potential political aftermath on a global scale after this is all said and done, diplomacy, and much, much more. In the second half of the program, David Swanson of the global antiwar movement World Beyond War joins us to discuss the situation further as well as to express the concern over this conflict becoming a nuclear war.

Another great interview with DOD consultant and naval power expert Jerry Hendrix. Jerry's latest publication in Foreign Policy magazine is titled, "Sea Power Makes Great Powers", discusses the direct relationship between and empire's naval fleet and their influence on the world. This does not bode well for the US as our naval forces shrink. This is a far reaching interview that hits on very timely actions by the Chinese and US in the South China Sea. A must watch for any student of geo-politics and Brzezinski's, "The Grand Chessboard". Enjoy!

On this edition of Parallax Views, the long-time, sometimes controversial, and always fascinating geopolitical commentator Pepe Escobar joins Parallax Views to discuss some of the events the lead up to his the current decade we face, which he calls "The Raging Twenties". Although this conversation was initially intended to cover Pepe's new book Raging Twenties: Great Power Politics Meets Techno-Feudalism, Pepe and I ultimately went in a different direction. Our conversation became less focused on the details of the book and more an overview of the events, geopolitically, that lead to our current moment where tensions are rising between the U.S. and it allies against China, Russia, and Iran. As Pepe put it in the course of our conversation, our conversation serves as a preamble to many of the topics discussed in his new book (which is basically Pepe's coverage of the year 2020 from the death of General Soleimani to the COVID-19 pandemic). Among the many topics we discuss: - The Russia/Ukraine situation - The Nordstream II pipeline, Germany, and Russia, - The Iraq War and neoconservatives - Pepe's interest in the ideas of Felix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze; Deleuze's concept of the rhizome - Zbigniew Brzezinski and The Grand Chessboard of Geopolitics - The Quad, India and Modi - Euranianism, Putin, and China - COVID-19, Giorgio Agamben, and the surveillance society - The decline of the American Empire; Pax Americana and the Mongolian Empire - Why Pepe references and uses imagery from David Lynch's Twin Peaks in his work - The Belt and Road Initiative; the New Silk Road - The multipolar world and what it means; the failures of the War on Terror; the corrosion of the Empire

On this edition of Parallax Views, the prolific war correspondent Patrick Cockburn, who has been reporting on the Middle East since 1975, joins us to discuss his new book War in the Age of Trump: The Fall of ISIS, The Betrayal of the Kurds, and the Conflict with Iran. We begin the conversation with Patrick's thoughts on objectivity in journalism and whether war reporting takes a toll on journalists in that line of work. From there we discuss the foreign policy of Obama, Obama and his advisor Ben Rhodes taking issue with the "Washington Playboy" and the D.C. foreign policy "Blob", and Trump's foreign policy. In relation Trump and foreign policy Patrick shines a light on the assassination of Iran's Gen. Quasem Soleimani and his understanding of it beyond the way it's been covered in the beltway press. Patrick argues that these elements got Soleimani wrong and this leads us to discuss the role of hubris, whether coming from Iran, the U.S., or other players, in the great game taking place on the geopolitical Grand Chessboard and where Iraq falls in the conflicts. Also covered: - The strange relationship between Iran and the U.S. that features both conflict and underdiscussed cooperation. - Why is the U.S. always at odds with Iran? The overthrow of Mossadegh in 1953 and other events. Why would the Shia-dominant Iran not be a friend of the U.S. in the War on Terror against Sunni Wahabists and Salafists?- Ignorance in the D.C. beltway, the Western elite, and the media on the Middle East and its complexities as a region.- The Middle East as a political graveyard for multiple U.S. Presidents including Tony Blair, George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan.- The story of ISIS and its fall- Western elite failures in the Middle East such as Libya after the death of Gaddafi; Syria and Assad; the lack of learning lessons from past failures on the part of the Western elite class- The impossible position of the Kurd; Turkey and the Kurds; the U.S.'s relationship to the Kurds- Could we have seen the failures of U.S. foreign policy coming?; the style of War in the Age of Trump- Criticism of U.S. foreign policy is not necessarily about supporting figures like Gaddafi in Libya or Assad in Syria- News from Damascus involving coronavirus- Trump's isolation vs. the elite's interventionist failures; is another way, different from both of these approaches possible; the Cold War mindset of elite interventionist foreign policy- Preoccupation with Russia as a threat- And more!

  On this edition of Parallax Views, modern wars in which the U.S. and Western powers invade nations like Iraq and Afghanistan are often waged under the pretext of being necessary "humanitarian interventions". Pro-peace activists and critics of U.S. foreign policy have long argued, however, that claims of "humanitarian intervention" are cover for more sinister motivations From this perspective, U.S. wars are fought for control of resources or for strategic reasons related to the maintenance of Western powers on the geopolitical "Grand Chessboard".   For example, many antiwar activists who marched in opposition to George W. Bush's 2003 invasion of Iraq would chant, "No More Wars for Oil!" In other words, the activists believed that war was not fought over WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction) or to liberate the Iraqi people, but instead that the invasion was a way to secure resources. The invocation of "humanitarian intervention" in this context, activists claimed, was nothing more than a cynical ruse.   Dr. Philip Cunliffe, a Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent, however, takes a different, and perhaps even more provocative, approach to critiquing U.S. foreign policy. In his book Cosmopolitan Dystopia: International Intervention and the Failure of the West, Cunliffe wills himself to take the claims of humanitarian interventionists at face value rather than questioning whether they have ulterior motives. In taking this tact he argues that humanitarian intervention, however nobly conceived, has led to a dystopian scenario of "Forever Wars" that have caused more harm than good. Put another way, Cunliffe chooses to question the proposed logic of humanitarian intervention itself and uses examples like the fallout from the U.S.-backed overthrow of Muammar al-Gaddafi in Libya (which has led to the unintended consequence, or "blowback", of sexual slavery and human trafficking making a comeback in the region) to make his case.   Although Cunliffe's argument is controversial, and perhaps even unnerving, it does provide an alternative way of looking at Western wars in the 21st century. As always we attempted to hear our guest out rather than have a shouting match. With that in mind this episode is sure to stir the pot in regards to international relations discussion, but Parallax Views is all about providing listeners with an unconventional viewpoint they may have not considered before. And it is our belief that this conversation with Dr. Cunliffe will certainly provide that in spades.   Also be sure to check out Dr. Cunliffe's podcast Aufhebunga Bunga.

This is a partial clip from a full talk available at my site. “The “Arc of Crisis” describes the “nations that stretch across the southern flank of the Soviet Union from the Indian subcontinent to Turkey, and southward through the Arabian Peninsula to the Horn of Africa.” Further, the “center of gravity of this arc is Iran.” In 1978, Zbigniew Brzezinski gave a speech in which he stated, “An arc of crisis stretches along the shores of the Indian Ocean, with fragile social and political structures in a region of vital importance to us threatened with fragmentation. The resulting political chaos could well be filled by elements hostile to our values and sympathetic to our adversaries.” –Andrew Gavin MarshallHere, we analyze the other important work from Zbigniew Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard fro 1997, which presaged many planned events: the Ukraine crisis and many other destabilization operations. What is most crucial about this book is the amazing candid nature of Zbig.Purchase my book here:https://jaysanalysis.com/jays-book/

Natylie Baldwin and Kermit Heartsong are the authors of Ukraine: Zbig's Grand Chessboard & How the West Was Checkmated. We speak with both of them about the book and the current crisis in Ukraine. A review of Ukraine by David Swanson is here: http://davidswanson.org/node/4799

This week I am delighted to have Rick Rozoff, long-time anti-war activist, NATO expert, and curator of the - Stop Nato: Opposition to Global Militarism blog. In a wide ranging interview, we discuss the current Ukraine Situation, Zbigniew Brzezinski and the Grand Chessboard, the NATO expansion and encirclement of Russia, and the plight of Syria. You can check out his blog here: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ The music featured on this show were: 'The Order of the Pharaonic Jesters' by Sun Ra and his Arkestra 'Cut Em Off' by Dizzee Rascal 'Solitude' by Billie Holiday 'Isolation' by Joy Division 'Blueberry Hill' by Vladimir Putin

Topic for the show:  What is the history of ISIS?  What did we accomplish in Iraq the first time?  How do we as a society move to block future involvement to a war that will never end "War on Terror?"  Also, what is the Grand Chessboard and how does it affect U.S. Foreign Policy?

As the world focuses its attention on the Olympic Games in Sochi and controversies around the Russian government's apparent hostility toward gay and lesbian rights, a far-reaching drama is playing out in the former Soviet Republic of Ukraine. The Eastern European country, independent since the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1991, has been gripped by a series of protests that may very well determine its long-term political fate. The Euromaidan was apparently named after the Independence Square in Kiev, Maidan Nezalezhnosti, where a major protest was held on the evening of November 21 of last year. The gathering of 1,000 to 2,000 people was staged in opposition to the abandonment by the Yanukovych government of an Association Agreement with the European Union.[2] Further protests ensued until a particularly violent crackdown by Ukrainian police on November 30. [3] From that point forward, demonstrations intensified and grew larger in number. The protests seemed to take a much more violent turn by mid-January after the Ukrainian Parliament pushed through a sweeping 100 page anti-protest law. [4] The law essentially banned the installation of tents, stages or amplifiers in public places, all critical components of the Euromaidan up to that point. Two and a half months later, the law has been repealed, Yanukovych's Cabinet has been dissolved, and detained protesters granted amnesty on condition of an end to the occupations of government buildings. [5] Nevertheless, the protests continue and demands to end “government corruption” and the resignation of the Russian President remain unrelenting. Complicating the situation is the role of militant fascist groups which appear to be influencing the protest movement, and are reminiscent of Hitler's Brown Shirts and Mussolini's Black Shirts from an earlier era. Foreign governments appear to be influencing the situation as well. Russian President Vladmir Putin's offer of substantial reductions in the cost of Russian natural gas and their willingness to purchase $15 billion in Ukrainian Government Eurobonds could be read as a bribe to keep Ukraine under Russian influence. [6] Meanwhile, Western governments, including those of the US and Canada, are clearly expressing support for government opposition demonstrators. Following harsh crackdowns before and during the G20 protests in 2010, it is hard to imagine the Canadian government behaving much differently if faced by similar demonstrations which have included the occupation of government buildings and the use of molotov cocktails being hurled at police. This week's Global Research News Hour probes some of the less talked about aspects of the Euromaidan with three analysts. University of Winnipeg Associate Professor of History Andriy Zayarnyuk is a Ukrainian national and is a specialist in the field of the Social and Cultural History of 19th and 20th Century Eastern Europe, including the Ukraine and the Soviet Union. He is also the author of the recently released book, Framing the Ukrainian Peasantry in Habsburg Galicia, 1846-1914. He helps provide an overview of the political and cultural background of the current struggle. Eric Draitser is a New York-based geo-political analyst with StopImperialism.org. He discusses the right-wing fascist groups involved with the Euromaidan protests and threats they may pose over and above the opposition movement itself. Finally, Rick Rozoff of Stop NATO returns to provide a thorough examination of the geo-political and geo-strategic context in which the popular uprising is taking place.
