“Dialogue Works,” 3 December 2024: Russia’s Solid Response Coming!
This 57-minute discussion with host Nima Alkhorshid is the longest session we have had and, from my perspective, one of the most challenging.
The opening segments deal with the latest international crises – the ‘rebel’ takeover of Aleppo and threat to the Assad regime in Syria and the political struggle for power being fought out in the streets of Tbilisi, Georgia. My efforts were to present the Russian view of these crises, which differs very much from what you will hear and read today in both Western mainstream and in alternative media.
From there we moved on to a variety of currently hot issues including the likely Russian reaction to the Trump-Kellogg plan for peace in Ukraine and the risks of Russia’s using its new hypersonic ballistic missile Oreshnik against NATO countries leading to further escalation towards a nuclear exchange.
My overarching observation is that the Kremlin has written off any possible contribution by Donald Trump to ending the war in Ukraine and are relying solely on their own efforts to subdue Kiev in the coming weeks and ending the war on their own terms.
I am hopeful that viewers will find the discussion of the foregoing to be worth their time. However, I am particularly pleased with the final 10 minutes in the interview in which I was given the opportunity to explain my position calling for the deconstruction of the European Union and the return to an economic alliance such as the European Economic Community before the creation of the Union in 1992. I see this as feasible, while retaining many of the benefits of the EU, such as the common currency, if the Euro is changed from a Fiat valuta to a gold-backed currency. In any case, the pitiful collective EU leadership consisting of nonentities is the direct result of the abandonment of sovereignty in the 1992 constitution which leaves the 27 “leaders” with no powers and no responsibilities to deal with the crises at Europe’s doorstep and beyond that we see today.
Comments will be most welcome.

Thank you for this lecture on where we stand in Europe and how we got there. One has noticed of course that our Prime Ministers, Presidents and politicians in general (not to mention our Kings and Queens) are not worth their salt. It is known that many of them have been 'trained' (programmed would be more accurate) by Mr. Schwab's WEF which apparently serves as a front for a globalist agenda that for purposes of its own is out to disrupt national cultures and identities. I wonder why you left that chapter out.
On the question of Russia not needing to go nuclear because they have the Oreshnik, great! That may give relief to some. However, my worry is not the Kremlin but Washington. Given the brazen nullities aka neo-cons that make foreign policy in the USA, it seems that a nuclear war might just as well start from there. It is not clear to me whether or not it has dawned on the Pentagon that they have no answer to the Oreshnik. And since, as you so eloquently pointed out, Russia now can hit the USA just about anywhere (at home and abroad), a Secretary of Defense egged on by the said nullities may tell his President that for America to go nuclear against Russia is the only option.
