The US and Israel have shown complete contempt for India’s interests (Prof. Anatol Lieven)

On this episode of New Order, we speak to Prof. Anatol Lieven, the director of the Eurasia Program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. He discusses the dramatic decline of the UN thanks to the US ahead of the UN General Assembly, India’s bid for a Security Council seat and the warming of relations between India and China, the US’ and Israel’s contempt for India’s interests by launching the war on Iran, the energy crisis facing the US and Europe amid the proxy war on Russia through Ukraine and war on Iran, the scenarios which could lead to Vladimir Putin directly retaliating against NATO, the urgent need to remove Kaja Kallas from her position as EU foreign policy chief, the growing trend of BRICS nations getting rid of US dollar-denominated treasuries, the worrying development of China’s oil reserves depleting, 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!

The US and Israel have shown complete contempt for India’s interests (Prof. Anatol Lieven)
New Order with Afshin Rattansi will trace how India and its allies sit at the center of a transformation in world history. Power is moving, alliances are shifting, and the rules of trade, technology, and security are being rewritten. New Order is about diplomatic architecture: The networks of power, the flow of money, and the levers of influence that determine who gains and who loses in a world of tectonic transition.
