Collective West Panic, Delusion, and the Dawn of Multipolarity

Understand why Western leaders exhibit panic and cling to illusions regarding Ukraine and global power shifts. Learn about the contrasting economic realities between the West and rising BRICS nations.

Short Summary

  • Western leaders display classic symptoms of panic, leading to wishful thinking and selective examination of facts concerning the Ukraine conflict.
  • The narrative framing used to describe Russia’s battlefield position is internally contradictory (e.g., Russia controls only 19% of land, yet advances are too swift to recover bodies).
  • Russia possesses significant self-sufficiency in natural resources, rendering comprehensive Western sanctions ineffective against its core survival.
  • The economic momentum has shifted, with BRICS nations now surpassing the G7 in GDP based on Purchasing Power Parity.
  • Western attempts to leverage economic pressure (sanctions, tariffs) are actually accelerating the formation of new, non-U.S.-centric global trade paths.

This discussion analyzes the strategic and economic disconnect between current Western policy and emerging global realities. Larry Johnson details the delusion underpinning European plans for escalations in Ukraine and explains why sanctions fail against resource-independent Russia. The conversation highlights the irreversible shift toward multipolarity led by BRICS partners.

I agree with Larry, I follow about 10 or so geopolitical YouTube channels but the absolute daily must have is always Alexander Mercouris / Duran for me 😊

Thank you Duran for having Larry Johnson as guest making the point of modern history education not being that accurate about WW2. I grew up in 1950/60s and adults would tell us “ If it wasn’t for the communist Red Army we’d be speaking German today”

Professor Michael Hudson was invited to give a presentation on economic reforms and he told the Duma that Russia has all the natural resources it needs to develop a self sustaining economy. He warned to NEVER borrow money from Wall Street. I don't remember the year he spoke to the Duma or the date when he explained this in interview a few years ago. Dr. Hudson would be a great guest to interview for a future show.

Larry Johnson's advice - "You've got to watch the Duran". I couldn't agree more with that statement !!! Thanks for your great insights! - An American in Switzerland
