On this episode of New Order, we speak to Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff at the US State Department. He discusses the bombing of the China-Iran railway and the wider US priority to confront Beijing, China’s global railway network strategy to ensure trade dominance, his belief that Iran has won against the US and Israel and whether Iran will pursue building nuclear weapons, why the negotiations in Pakistan and negotiations over Lebanon are just a cover for Donald Trump’s retreat, his advice for the Global South and BRICS as the US continues to make threats and launch wars to protect its hegemony, China’s strategy to supplant the dollar and become the dominant financial power, the future of Israel, and much more.
Finally, New Order’s Zarah Khan asks questions from you the viewers to Afshin Rattansi. You can send in your questions to be answered to @AfshinRattansi on X to be answered on next week’s episode!
And a question for you, the viewers: Should Iran pursue the same strategy as North Korea in developing a nuclear deterrent?
