On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Tuomas Malinen, associate professor of Economics at the University of Helsinki and CEO of GnS Economics. He discusses why it is likely US President Donald Trump will fail to broker peace in the Ukraine proxy war thanks to the neoconservatives in his administration, the neocon faction’s priority shifting to stopping an alliance between China, Russia, and Europe, the Greenland crisis and whether NATO could actually break up over the dispute, the construction of 15 US bases in Finland since it became a full NATO member, how Georgia was a test for pushing Russia’s red lines in Ukraine, the catastrophic state of the Western European banking sector, the structural fragility of the European Union and the vulnerability of the euro, the potential re-igniting of the Israel-Iran war and the fears of a Strait of Hormuz closure, the facade being presented of the US’ and Israel’s military power over Venezuela and Iran, and much more.
