On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Anatol Lieven, Director of the Eurasia Program at the Quincy Institute. He discusses Donald Trump’s approach to ending the Ukraine proxy war and the administration’s view that it is China, not Russia that is an existential threat to the United States, the attempt to break the Russia-China alliance and China’s strength in the current geopolitical landscape, Europe’s complete submission and vassalage to the United States and the subsequent consequences surrounding Trump and the proxy war, the mutual mistrust between Europe and Russia, whether Donald Trump will actually withdraw from NATO and scale down the US’ European presence, why Israel would go into a frenzy if the US reduced its presence in Europe, why incoming German Chancellor Merz will likely continue to just defer European policy to Washington, Europe’s inability to get off the path off of hostility towards Russia to their own detriment, the complete uniformity of establishment and media thought in the UK and Europe, the catastrophic backfiring of the Trump-Russia hoax perpetuated by the Democrats, and much more.
