Dmitry Polyanskiy: Tomahawks, Nuclear War & Failure of Diplomacy Oct 17, 2025

Show notes

Dmitry Polyanskiy is the First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations. Polyanskiy argues that the spirit of Alaska is not dead, and it is still a diplomatic path to peace. However, if Trump sends Tomahawk missiles, then it will be considered a direct US attack on Russia by the Trump administration. Furthermore, as the Tomahawk can carry a nuclear warhead, Russia will have to consider it a possible nuclear first strike.

Jeffrey Sachs & John Mearsheimer: Spheres of Security to Prevent World War III Oct 17, 2025

Show notes

How should the security needs of great powers be balanced with the sovereignty of smaller nations on their border? The concept of Spheres of Security limits the activity of other borders of other great powers. Mexico has the freedom to engage in political and economic cooperation with any state, yet Mexico does not have the freedom to host Russian missiles or Chinese military bases. This is common sense and must be applied to all great powers, yet how feasible is such an agreement between the great powers?John J. Mearsheimer is the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, where he has taught since 1982. Jeffrey D. Sachs is a world-renowned economics professor, bestselling author, innovative educator, and global leader in sustainable development.Follow Prof. Glenn Diesen:Substack: https://glenndiesen.substack.com/X/Twitter: https://x.com/Glenn_DiesenPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/glenndiesenYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GDiesen1Support the channel: PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/Diesen79 Buy me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/gdiesengGo Fund Me: https://gofund.me/09ea012f
