Alastair Crooke : How the West Lost Russia

Alistair Crook as we explores this critical question and uncover the profound shifts in global geopolitics. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s stark declaration to the U.S. ambassador marks the dawn of a low-intensity conflict era with the United States. We’ll break down Russia’s strategic responses, examining the formation of an alternative security framework with BRICS nations and other nuclear powers. This episode promises to shed light on Russia’s perspective regarding Western intentions to escalate the conflict in Ukraine and the broader consequences for international relations. Listen closely as we dissect the West’s fundamental misunderstandings of Russian policy and the intricate web of global commodity management. Learn about the United States’ manipulation of commodity prices for financial and political leverage and Russia’s potential pivot towards a new security and financial architecture. Alistair Crook provides keen insights into whether Western leaders grasp the enormity of losing Russia and the significant transformations this loss entails, including the creation of a potential BRICS currency and the hurdles of expanding its membership. We also tackle the internal disconnect between Western leaders and their electorates, challenging the capability of Western policymakers to understand and respond to the global shifts initiated by Russia and other rising powers. #Geopolitics #GlobalShift #Russia #WestVsRussia #LowIntensityConflict #USRussiaRelations #BRICS #SecurityFramework #SergeiLavrov #UkraineConflict #InternationalRelations #CommodityManagement #FinancialLeverage #NewArchitecture #WesternIntentions #BRICSCurrency #MembershipExpansion #ElectorateDisconnect #WesternPolicy #RisingPowers #GlobalCommodity #StrategicResponses #WesternMisunderstandings #AlternativeSecurity #GlobalEconomics #PoliticalLeverage #InternationalSecurity #WesternLeadership #GlobalGeopolitics #AlistairCrook #RussiaPerspective
