Friend of the Pod Malcom Kyeyune is back, and he's got that late empire feeling. After the Chinese Military staged an extraordinary parade in Beijing, Washington is worried. The top dog question has resurfaced. In the same week, Elbridge Colby released a new strategic document effectively telling Washington it needs to be far more selective in military affairs. After they spent a quarter of their entire interceptor missile stocks shoring up Israel, and with the Abrams tanks proving ineffectively heavy in Ukraine, US procurement is looking shoddy in a way it never has before. No wonder Colby increasingly senses the Taiwan question must be gently settled. As Malcom puts it: “Times were when the US could just pick up a small country and smack it against a wall in order to show who's boss.” Are recent manoeuvres off the Venezuelan coast a last gasp of smack-it-against-the-wall hegemonic diplomacy?In this typically ranging hour long special, The Lads look into the abyss called Kyeyune – and he stares back.

Dimes and Judas give a debrief of their recent eCeleb camping trip, the Raise the Colours anti-immigration protest in Australia, and the 7 AfD candidates who have died under mysterious circumstances. After priming the audience with some savage opinions on the Multipolarity movement, they review the book “Why the West Can't Win” by Fadi Lama which details why the Western world is doomed while the Third World will achieve dominance through wheat and steel production. Lastly, on this edition of The Copepranos Society, Dimes was invited to speak with Ourospost to review the book “Redemption and Utopia: Jewish Libertarian Thought in Central Europe.” It's about how Jewish intellectuals dominated German culture, and what sociopolitical determinism drove them to do that.

Narendra Modi. In Shanghai. In the back of a car. With Vladimir Putin. Positively glowing. The tweets the Indians sent out at the Shanghai Co-Operation Organisation were the equivalent of a taken for granted girlfriend openly flirting with the jocks at the big keg party. The key question: is this obvious piece of signalling going to be stronger than the thick skulls of the lugs in Washington? Meanwhile, in Venezuela, US destroyers are patrolling the coastline. Ostensibly to stop cartel shipments. Are they about to make a Noriega of Maduro? Finally, in Britain, the bond yield has hit a thirty year high. At the same time, France can't pass a budget, and has 114% debt to GDP. What's going to happen when two of Europe's big three economies both try to squeeze through the door of the IMF at the same time? All this and more in an hour of super soaraway subscriber special. That's right – it's that time of the month. Time to put down five Dollars, Pounds, Euros to get to eavesdrop with your fellow subscribers in the secret Multipolarity green room.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, many Western elites declared the end of history. Politics had been solved, and the only question was how long it would take for every nation to submit to the universal order. It has now become clear that the death of politics has been greatly overstated and the global hegemony of liberal democracy is breaking down. Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin joins me to discuss multipolarity, the end of postmodernism, and Nick Land's accelerationism. Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Comment le Sud global essaye de s'organiser face à la politique de imprévisible et instable de Donald Trump ? La question est sur la table du Sommet de l'Organisation de coopération de Shanghai (OCS) qui se tient actuellement à Tianjin près de Pékin en Chine. Pour en parler, Alexandre Kateb, économiste, fondateur de Multipolarity.AI et auteur de « Les nouvelles puissances mondiales.

China's rapidly expanding presence in the Middle East has sparked a mix of anxiety and excitement, depending on one's perspective. Washington regards Beijing's support of Iran and the Palestinian cause, among other things, as key threats to its strategic interests. While Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, and other regional actors see Beijing as a valuable economic partner. A new book by two leading China-Mideast scholars, Mohamed Alsudairi at the Australian National University and Andrea Ghiselli from the University of Exeter, explores the future of Chinese engagement in the region by laying out three possible scenarios

As they say in the Economist: "Serbia is at a crossroads..." Anti-corruption protests after the collapse of the station roof in Novi Sad have not gone away, now many months after the event. The country's leader, President Vučić, is under pressure as never before, after 13 years in power. He has offered 'televised dialogues': his opponents have declined. The standoff continues. Meanwhile, in the tiny breakaway relic of the Bosnian War, Republika Srpska, the crossroads has come to a fork.In February 2025, the President of the RS region of Bosnia, Milorad Dodik, was stripped of his office, for planning to hold an independence referendum to break away from Bosnia. He was handed a one-year prison sentence plus a six-year political ban. Christian Schmidt, Bosnia's High Representative, froze budgetary support for RS ruling parties after attempts to arrest Dodik were thwarted by Republika Srpska police. Two concurrent crises, oddly twinned: as we all know, when Serbia goes off, the world needs to stand well back. Miša Đurković is a Principal Research Fellow and Director at the Institute of European Studies in Belgrade. This week, he joins us to unpack the dense politics of this geopolitical pocket rocket.

With EU leaders summoned to the White House to take dictation, it seems as though the Ukraine War is entering its final phase. Can the Europeans take their medicine? Or will they stay doolally on the happy pills? India has made it easier for Russian banks to operate. Turns out, Trump's capricious decision to threaten them with swingeing sanctions has had second order consequences. These days, the monkey's paw is twitching so hard it's tapping out morse code. Finally, Goldman Sachs has estimated the winners and losers of the tariff wars. And the loser is – US consumers, who can expect to bear 64 per cent of costs before Xmas.

The Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity is now open. Only problem? It goes through a geopolitical electromagnet pulling all the badboys of the region into its tractor beam. The US has taken out a 99 year lease on a corridor that connects Armenia and Azerbaijan. It's a breakthrough peace deal, certainly. But is it a silk road through a minefield? Meanwhile, in Alaska, Vlad is about to jet in for talks. Is there some historical echo in doing it in a territory Russia once signed away? Or merely a historical echo of a big empty nothing? Finally, Trump's new 401k rules mean that Americans will soon be able to invest their money in crypto. And to create their own retirement tontines — that's to say, when one pension saver dies early, the rest inherit their forfeited funds. Is this more genius from the great negotiator? Or just a fantastic chance to turn America into a series of Agatha Christie-style bump-off clubs?

On this edition of Parallax Views, Alex Jordan and Courtney Rawlings — hosts of the Quincy Institute's foreign policy podcast Always at War — join the show for a hard-hitting conversation on some of the most urgent global issues. We discuss the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where starvation is setting in and U.S. politicians have failed to halt the suffering or reconsider military aid to Israel. From there, we examine the rise of a multipolar world order, the dangers of unmanaged Great Power competition, and how smaller nations risk being trampled by larger powers. We also break down the role of the U.S. national security state and the foreign policy “Blob” in eroding democratic governance, the connection between endless wars abroad and diminished freedoms at home, and how unaccountable institutions shape policy without public consent. The conversation concludes with a look at the Ukraine–Russia war, its global ramifications, and what it reveals about shifting geopolitical realities.

Lawds malarkey guv'nor, Blighty's popped its clogs. Americans have been hoovering up ‘UK doom' content ever since Elon Musk decided to push the grooming gangs scandal on X at the start of the year. On the inside, everyone understands the Notting Hill days are long gone. Only some have clocked that the Children of Men era is upon us.Now, with the banning of a viral ad for a crypto exchange describing the dismal state of the country, we're checking in on the dismal state of the country. Meanwhile, America is pushing India to cut its oil trade with Russia. Obviously, this will never have any bad second order consequences. Finally, having exposed their air defence nakedness in one wild weekend, the Iranians are in the market for a new system. And the news is they're going Ali Express.

The White House imposed 50% tariffs on Brazil and declared it a threat to US "national security". Donald Trump is blatantly meddling in internal Brazilian affairs, trying to undermine left-wing President Lula da Silva and help far-right former leader Jair Bolsonaro. The USA's attacks also aim to divide BRICS and discourage more countries from joining. Political economist Ben Norton explains how the US empire is attacking the Global South's multipolar project.

Get on the bus. Or get on the Trump train. At this week's Chinese trade talks, Europe has found itself piggy in the middle in the great global realignment. After Team Ursula were shunted off an airport bus by their Chinese hosts, – and given no official welcome, it's clear which side is now entering their Hundred Years of Humiliation. We'll be clipping the tickets of both delegations, and trying to piece together where the Great Tariff Wars of 2025 are up to. But as this is a pay week, we're also going to have to impose a 75% tariff of our own, until you come to heel.

On this edition of Parallax Views, George Beebe — Director of Grand Strategy at the Quincy Institute, former director of the CIA's Russia analysis, and a former  staff advisor on Russia matters to Vice President Dick Cheney — about the shifting architecture of global power and its impact on U.S. foreign policy. We begin by unpacking the rise of multipolarity: what it really means for America, why it could encourage balance and restraint, and why it also carries serious risks of miscalculation and instability. From there, we turn to the surprising recent signs of frustration between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, and what that might portend for the grinding, entrenched nature of the Russia-Ukraine war. We explore potential pathways to negotiation, asking what concessions would be unacceptable for either side — and what a settlement might look like from a realist perspective. Throughout, Beebe draws on his background in the realist school to argue for understanding geopolitical interests without morally excusing aggression. It's a conversation that moves beyond daily headlines to consider how shifting power dynamics, great-power rivalry, and hard strategic choices could shape the next phase of the war — and the world order that follows.

Steve Hsu is a physicist, a tech founder, the hub of a network of cutting edge thinkers, and the host of the excellent Manifold Podcast. After a record-breaking first appearance, this week, he returns to Multipolarity for his second turn. This time, we want to ask him about the big picture on China's tech frontiers. Six months on from the Deep Seek shock, it's clear that China is making leaps not just in AI, but a range of high-end technologies, from materials science to robotics, semiconductors and telecoms. Far from the old paradigm of ‘China doesn't innovate; it copies', we're seeing genuinely novel applications: from beetle-inspired heat censors, to synthetic biology, to silicon wafer replacement.Beyond the immediate economic implications, how does their coming prowess relate to the strategic balance of power? We talk military hardware: the debate about tech missiles versus jets, China's 6th generation fighters, drones, and the battlefield of the future.And given all this – what can the US do to claw back the high ground? Can Washington accept their diminished status? Or will they end up both more insular and more aggressive on the world stage?

Philip Pilkington is away in Belgrade on a foreign assignment, which means we're serving up a Sleepless In Seattle-style double header, on tariffs. First off: what is the end game for trade and the dollar? With Liberation Day now a distant memory and the passing of The Big Beautiful Bill, Philip has crunched the numbers, and figured out that all is not what it seems.

In a viral video clip, tantric sex expert Javier Milei once said that he only makes love once every three months. Let's see if he goes to the IMF any more regularly. In the wake of an enormous bailout, we'll be busting some myths on the grand schemes of Captain Ancap. Meanwhile, in Britain, the finance minister is crying in Parliament, and the Prime Minister is too socially awkward to comfort her. At least Milei made the cuts first; and then went to the lender of last resort after. What happens when a dying G7 economy is too proud to cut anything, and too paralysed to do anything? Looks like they're also ready for a visit from a certain monetary fund. Finally, the Stablecoin revolution is here. That's right: you can now buy one dollar you don't physically hold, for the price of one dollar you do hold. Sounds a bit silly? Welcome to crypto, bro.

Nothing Ever Happens. Or does it? A week on from a one act play of a war, we pick through the charred remains of the Fordow Nuclear Site. We're looking for clues. A smouldering nothingburger here; or a flambéd Middle Eastern order there? Meanwhile, Daddy got his five percent — NATO members have signed up to splash the cash on the next generation of weaponry. But is this wise defensive spending, or just a fully-armoured hypersonic pork barrel? Finally, the S&P has rallied this week - just as the dollar has dipped enough to offset the wins. Now, with bond yields also on the up, we're into an era of two snakes for every ladder. Is this a weird blip - or the first horseman of dedollarisation?

The US military will "very likely" fight a three-way war with Iran, Russia, and China, predicted Palantir CEO Alex Karp in 2024. American imperial strategist Zbigniew Brzezinski warned back in the 1990s of this Eurasian "anti-hegemonic coalition" that could challenge US global dominance. Ben Norton explains.

Was it real?As we record this on the morning of the 23 June, we are a little over 24 hours removed from Operation Midnight Hammer, in which USAF assets, including B2 Spirit stealth heavy bombers, attacked the Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. US President Donald Trump says that Iran's nuclear programme has been destroyed for good. Open Source satellite pictures of the Fordow site show six ominous black holes in two, tightly clustered groups of three, into which deep-penetration bunker buster bombs were dropped. The entire strike package got in and out entirely unmolested.But was Iran's nuclear programme really destroyed? There are suggestions that Iran moved its highly enriched uranium from the Fordow site some days before the US attack. If it was such a devastating blow, why has Iran not responded? US Bases and Gulf energy infrastructure is far closer, and far easier to strike than Israel, which Iran is still pounding.And was Iran a paper tiger? So beset by corruption and ill discipline that Israel could establish air supremacy in a single night, and US air assets can roam the skies with impunity? So that it could have its entire nuclear programme destroyed in a week? That it would be too afraid to strike back, lest the US escalate further. What was real at all?

Capitalism's crisis theories reveal more about leftist political failures than economic reality, as deterministic approaches miss the cultural dimensions of decay while simultaneously failing to deliver the promised revolutionary outcomes.• Examining Aufheben's' "Decadence, the Theory of Decline or Decline of Theory" as a framework for understanding how leftists conceptualize capitalism's decay• Crisis theories traditionally mark WWI as capitalism's turning point toward decline, though interpretations vary widely among Marxist traditions• Neoliberalism is fundamentally misunderstood by leftists who equate it with laissez-faire policies rather than recognizing its public-private partnership model• Conservative decadence theories correctly identify cultural symptoms but propose solutions that accelerate the problems they diagnose• Contemporary manifestations of decadence include declining literacy, rising obesity, and political systems that increasingly cannot function according to their own principles• The business cycle's reassertion after periods of apparent stability challenges deterministic theories of capitalism's inevitable collapse• Multipolarity's emergence in global politics creates new instabilities but also potential openings for changeSend us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

The Big Divorce has finally hit. Like a country rock record written by the WWE, the Trump Musk split has been its own kind of kino. But beyond two hotheaded men who secretly still love each other very much, could it be that this marks the schism between tech and MAGA? Meanwhile… that escalated quickly. As LA smouldered over the weekend, Trump punched the nuclear button, demanding to send in squadrons of marines. Whether they storm the beaches of the I-110 is perhaps secondary to the constitutional question: who holds the keys to law and order in a divided America? Finally, right now China is squeezing its rare earth metals. Always wear gloves if you do that at home, but if you do it at a geopolitical level, just get ready for some serious blowback.

This week, we're going as big picture as imaginable. Philip Pilkington has a thesis about liberalism itself: 1. That it is bad. 2. That it is ending. That's the nub of his new book, released this week. He argues that the modern world order is based on a doctrinaire and unrealistic form of liberalism and has given rise to hollowed-out financialised economies and disintegrating societies that can barely even reproduce their population or meet their energy needs. Only by abandoning our liberal delusions and adopting hard-headed post-liberalism can the West survive.In this special edition, Andrew Collingwood interviewed him in front of an online audience on a live Twitter Spaces.

In this compelling edition of Scheer Intelligence, Robert Scheer engages with journalist Kit Klarenberg to explore the complex dynamics shaping our world. From the enigmatic diplomacy of Donald Trump to the evolving landscape of Middle Eastern geopolitics, Klarenberg offers a nuanced perspective on shifts in U.S. foreign policy, the decline of American exceptionalism, and the rise of a multipolar global order. Their conversation sheds light on contradictions, realignments, and the potential for a fairer, more collaborative international system in uncertain times.

China is planning a new version of its Made In China 2025 industrial strategy. Just as America is punching holes in its own science funding budget, we'll be reporting from the output gap. Meanwhile, the new US ambassador to Ankara has declared that he's against carving up Syria in a modern Sykes-Picot, the treaty that drew up the Middle East modern borders. Is this an important anti-colonial action or just a license for Erdogan to gobble up his own Ottoman empire?Finally, Harvard continues to come under shelling by the US government. Not content with disbarring international students, Trump said on Monday that he is considering taking $3 billion of previously awarded grant money and giving it to trade schools. Is this a case of frightening them to with an inch of their lives or is Trump genuinely guillotining the credentialed aristocracy that runs the United States?

More ordnance in the Middle East. Rumours are that Trump is agreeing to a two state solution; Israel is out in the cold; Netanyahu is not having his calls returned, and a trillion dollar deal is incoming with the Saudis. We've had shuttle diplomacy… but this is Challenger Space Shuttle diplomacy?Meanwhile, Pakistan has apparently shot down as many as three Indian Rafale fighter jets in recent clashes over Kashmir. The culprit? A chinese-made BVR system. To some, this unexpected win apparently means that in the future, BVR-equipped jets will shoot each other down from tens or even hundreds of miles away. But past a certain point… why do we even need the jets? Finally, the eye-watering hundred percent tariffs on China are about to be peeled back down to a manageable thirty percent. A victory for someone. But in the longer term, isn't this Liberation Day turning into De-dollarisation Year?

No one imagined that Romanian elections would become a big spectator sport, but they've really proved us wrong. Remember the TikTok Secret Police Election? Well now Romania is back with a sequel: Ethno-Nationalist Hooligan for President.The question smart observers are asking is: why can the powers that be live with one, not the other? The smartest are keeping the answer to themselves. Meanwhile, if you're passing through Ben Gurion International Airport, hang onto your drink. You wouldn't want a slice of Houthi rocket in your arak. But bad news for the duty free counter is even worse news for the next twenty years in the global air defence industry.

Three months ago, Pierre Poilievre was going to take 50 per cent of the total vote, a historic generational landslide. Now, he's a pub trivia question. What happened in Canada? Did it warp beneath the enormous trade gravity of the Trump Presidency? And why did Canadians think that turning to a milquetoast former central banker would turn off the US electromagnet dismantling their country one bolt at a time? India and Pakistan are at it again. Early in the week, reports were of World War 3. Vishnu and Allah duking it out with nukes at the gates of hell. So far, it's all sparks and no light, but this week's rift shows how the region is both increasingly important and ever more a pawn of bigger powers. Finally, on Saturday Foreign Ministers from five central Asian countries met with China's Wang Yi to talk over deepening trade ties. It may seem like just a bunch of bros jawing over the agree-to-agree communiquê, but this is the dawning of the Middle Corridor.

(Note: This episode is from Tonight with Dr. Steve's special Thursday livestream.)Feminists are finding yet another reason to freak out today! Move over manosphere, the woke legacy media is finding something else to get hysterical about. They're now panicking over what they're calling the rise of the ‘womanosphere' - a growing online movement of bold, unapologetically traditionalist women who are championing femininity, family, and faith. They have lost, and they have no idea how to process it. I'm going to show you exactly how the liberal left lost and how the womanosphere has won! You're going to love it! Also, Europe is on the brink of transformation as the European Union faces a crisis of identity, energy, and democratic legitimacy. In the second part of this episode, we break down how mass immigration, censorship, and globalist policies have fueled a populist uprising across the continent. Joined by geopolitical analyst Constantin von Hoffmeister, we explore why the EU is crumbling and what's rising in its place.Check out Constantin's Substack! www.eurosiberia.netCheck out his two books, “Esoteric Trumpism” and “MULTIPOLARITY”!

Gold is going to the moooooooon. Fantastic news for gold bugs. Until someone works out that this is a short against America, and the Wall Street types celebrating are effectively blowing the kazoo for the end of their own industry. After all, if gold remains on the moon, they'll have to figure out whether they still need financial services consultants in space. Meanwhile - it's a day ending in Y so someone in the Pentagon must be plotting an attack on Iran. It seems incredibly illogical and stupid. Which makes it all the more probable, by Pentagon standards. Finally, China has raised tariffs on American goods to 125 %, restricted the supply of rare earth metals, stopped investment in US private equity, and cut off its natural gas terminals. Tit has given way to tat - we'll be weighing up who has cut off more of their nose to spite their face. You can get paywalled episodes of Multipolarity on https://www.patreon.com/multipolarity

John speaks with economist Philip Pilkington to explore the unraveling of global liberalism, tracing its roots from British imperialism to America's post-World War II dominance. Pilkington argues that economic liberalisation failed to universalise liberal values, as nations like China and India embrace markets while rejecting cultural liberalism. A multipolar world emerges, where non-liberal powers redefine global influence. Family breakdown and demographic decline threaten Western prosperity, with collapsing birth rates and rising welfare costs signalling societal decay. Radical green ideologies, rooted in neo-paganism, prioritise nature over human welfare, risking a return to impoverishment. Pilkington envisions a post-liberal West reviving Christian values to restore stable families and economic vitality.Philip Pilkington is a macroeconomist and investment professional. He is the author of The Reformation in Economics and the soon to be released The Collapse Of Global Liberalism. He also co-hosts the popular geopolitics podcast Multipolarity.

This week we scrubbed the decks and sounded the five bell alarm. Donald Trump had only gone and done it. Tariffs. Thousands of them. What could the greatest regression from the norms of globalisation since 1945 mean for a show called Multipolarity? Even better: what would it mean for the world? With the MAGA base both boisterous and uneasy in the face of this dawning reality, we wargamed out the answers. Until, at 20:10 local time, news came of a stunning reversal...

Was the editor of the Atlantic actually accidentally included in some rangy groupchat among bros that included a denunciation of European defence policy? Are you stupid? Have you recently had an aneurysm? Leaving aside this obvious straw dog, what is Washington actually signalling here? Meanwhile, the Chinese, Japanese and South Koreans are getting together to sign declarations of mutual support: pledging increased economic co-operation – and gently letting the whole Taiwan thing slide. When nations with rape slaves level of historical beef are making nice, you know something is shifting.Finally, is Martin Bormann alive and well and living in Argentina? No. But as Milei's government releases the papers on the Third Reich, the historical mythology of World War 2 is under attack as never before. What happens when the post-1945 world order has to deal with the messy reality of the pre-1945 world? All coming up this week, only for the people who pay. You don't pay, you don't get.

Tesla is tanking. On the NASDAQ, the Magnificent 7 have become merely the 7. The talk is all of quarterly earnings in Musk towers. But is this just a smokescreen for the fact that DeepSeek has DeepFound Silicon Valley in DeepDooDoo? Meanwhile, in Europe, the dream of rearmament is still alive and well. Two weeks in, we'll have a report, direct from the frontlines of an unreachable fantasia. Finally, do Jihadis make good pets? For a few Washington and Brussels liberals, they have become the accessory du jour. But after the appalling scenes from Syria this week, well it turns out that befriending beheaders in flatbed trucks might not be such a good idea.

Explaining Europe's shift to strategic non-alignment. The false god of nuclear deterrence--why the nuclear triad is overrated. Making sense of the Pentagon's fake spending cuts. Privateer forces and American imperialism--the $25 billion Erik Prince proposal. Gen Z and Millennials can't afford a home. Expelling Canada from a Five-Eyes that nobody wants. Why great-power competition with China is still happening. Subscribe to Un-Diplomatic on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@un-diplomaticpodcastSubscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.com/ Catch Un-Diplomatic on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/undiplomaticpodcast Disclaimer: The views expressed are those of the individuals and not of any institutions.

It's now widely acknowledged we are in a multipolar world, but the definition of "multipolarity" is not clear. Donald Trump and Marco Rubio think it means a return to great power competition with imperial spheres of influence, whereas China and much of the Global South say "equality among all countries regardless of size". Ben Norton explains the geopolitical divide.

(Note: This episode is from Tonight with Dr. Steve's special Thursday livestream.) As we count down the days until the new Golden Age officially begins, I thought it would be fun to do a countdown of our own here. I want to countdown the top 10 things Trump will do, according to his own words, on Day 1 of his presidency. This is based on an NBC report that came out that talked about the Top 11 things Trump will do, I conflated two of them into one, but this will help anticipate Christmas Day in January - the top 10 things Trump will do to unleash the new golden age on day one, January 20th! In the second part of this episode, I chat with Constantin von Hoffmeister about his new book, “Multipolarity!”, how it puts Trump into a larger international context, and more.
