We start today’s double podcast assessing a statement and an interview made by US former government officials and a current military Lieutenant General with respect to Ukraine and Taiwan. Both continue to demonstrate just how much miscalculation there is in the US and the broader NATO alliance and how gradually the narrative is shifting with respect to Ukraine and also how with respect to Taiwan there is an admission that this is effectively becoming a potential Ukraine 2.0, in the eyes of the US. We then assess the recent EAEU summit and why this is becoming an integral part of the multipolar world as we have stated for many years. We conclude discussing how China continues to develop technology at breakneck speed which is undermining the west and presenting China with the opportunity to exploit the ongoing distrust the Global South feels with respect to the US and its allies.
