Welcome to the last part of the interview with Alexander Mercouris (@AlexMercouris) from @TheDuran, where we talk about the future of neutrality and how important it is not only to have intermediaries but a global system build on states that pursue their own interest instead of succumbing to the will of a megalomaniac hegemon. The US has become what the USSR used to be: an ideologically charged block that breaks all norms and respects nothing. ------------------------------------------------------ Pascal’s academic articles about neutrality studies: “In Defense of Neutrals: Why They’re More Than Fence Sitter” Foreign Policy, June 6, 2023. “The Future of Neutrality”.
