Talking Syria & Ukraine with Glenn Diesen and Alexander Mercouris
On 19 December 2024, I was on “The Duran” with Glenn Diesen and Alexander Mercouris. We talked at length about where Syria is headed and where the Ukraine war is headed in 2025. Sadly, none of us could tell a story with a good ending for either conflict. Despite Donald Trump’s claims that he will shut the war down in Ukraine and work with the Israelis to create order in the Middle East, it appears that 2025 will not be an improvement over 2024 in either Syria or Ukraine.
Professor Mearsheimer has long been the go to person for the most vital, unbiased, far-seeing and insightful thought processes regarding the geopolitical disaster the western powers inflicted upon the world with their ambitions to create a western bulwark on Russia's border.
His predictions from the start have been borne out by the dreadful realities that have unfolded ever since.
No matter how much the western powers try to distort the facts using semantic gymnastics nothing will shift the blame for the horrendous events which have taken place from them onto Russia. No matter how much historical reality they try to sweep under the carpet it is clear that a growing number worldwide see them as liars and this will have ongoing disastrous consequences regarding their reputation and for those who follow them if they persist in these quite barefaced lies.
Great discussion. Many thanks to the three gentlemen for sharing your insights with us. It is distressing to see where the US has led us. Hopefully, as this becomes apparent, a course correction will be taken. We may have to depend on the smarter, less biased, younger generation to direct us to a better future.
