Trump's Peace Plan & Rejection of War Narratives - George Beebe, Alexander Mercouris & Glenn Diesen Mar 05, 2025

Show notes

I had a conversation with Alexander Mercouris and George Beebe, a former CIA Director for Russia Analysis and current Director of Grand Strategy at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. The clash in the Oval Office occurred as Trump and Vance were determined to start negotiations, while Zelensky was seen to be extremely dismissive. The Europeans do not have any alternatives to Trump’s peace plan, only an effort to do more of the same and escalate as the war is lost. The Europeans have been captured by narratives, making accepting reality nearly impossible.

Putin's Endgame in Ukraine - Prof. Glenn Diesen with Judge Napolitano Mar 05, 2025

Show notes

I had the great pleasure to discuss with Judge Napolitano the efforts by Trump to pressure Zelensky into starting negotiations to end the war. Trump is challenging the legitimacy of Zelensky and even cutting military support to push him to the negotiation table. It is very possible that Trump will also start to mount pressure on the Europeans as they are seen to also oppose his peace plan. By cutting military spending, Trump hopes to also deprive Zelensky and the Europeans of the alternative to keep the war going. The war summit in Paris organised by the Europeans demonstrates that they are not able to mobilise the political will and unity required to replace the US. The Europeans also do not have the money or military power to continue the war, yet they do not have the political imagination beyond doubling down on a failed war. If the Europeans continue to resist Trump’s peace efforts, then NATO itself could end up being dissolved.

Security Guarantees for Ukraine Could Trigger Nuclear War - Prof. Glenn Diesen on Podcast Mrežnica Mar 01, 2025

Show notes

I had the great pleasure to discuss the efforts by the Europeans and Zelensky to obtain security guarantees from the US. The Ukrainian army is collapsing, and Zelensky needs to get the US pulled into the war with security guarantees. Peace agreements must remove the incentives for restarting the fighting. While security guarantees could deter Russia, it would create an incentive for Ukraine to restart the fighting to get US assistance with reconquering territories. Zelensky has previously lied about a Russian missile attack on Poland to pull NATO into the war, and security guarantees could leave the US in a dilemma between having its deterrent discredited or going to war against the world’s largest nuclear power. Offering Ukraine’s natural resources to the US is an attempt by Zelensky to buy security guarantees and Washington’s recognition that he is the legitimate leader of Ukraine. While Trump will allow Zelensky to buy legitimacy, he is unlikely to provide security guarantees as the US already holds all the cards and has immense leverage over Ukraine.
