Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 89 ratings
  • Good, decent but could improve

    Enjoy some of the conversations but some like the Jeffrey Sacks episodes it seems that Fidias is not challenging Jeff and his pro Russian Imperialist viewpoint, he also allows him to spread lies, like the so called negotiations in early 2022, which was disappointing, especially for a Cypriot who’s island is currently occupied by an resurgent imperialist power, would Fidias like the British or Turks to take over the whole island again?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

“I’m Confident Russia Is Providing Military Assistance to Iran” - Alexander Mercouris
Q: So what is happening? Who is winning, who is losing, and how is the battlefield going?
Mercouris says Russia has an advantage in ground combat and has expanded its drone, missile, and weapons production. He describes Ukraine's economic and tax base as under severe pressure and argues that delaying negotiations could lead to a larger Russian victory.
“I’m Confident Russia Is Providing Military Assistance to Iran” - Alexander Mercouris
Q: Do you think the war in Iran will get worse before it gets better?
Mercouris expects the conflict to worsen, arguing that Europe's failure to act diplomatically has left it marginalized. He says Iran has held together, may gain influence, and could become stronger if it withstands another attack.
“Iran Will Become Stronger Than Any Other State” | Robert Pape
Q: How does Europe's strategic posture evolve as America's power wanes in the Middle East?
Europe is moving toward greater defense self-reliance and cohesion, potentially forming new security arrangements or 'iron curtain' style lines to balance Russia and regional actors, while avoiding excessive confrontation with the United States.
Cancer Scientists: Everything We've Been Told About Cancer Is a Lie!
Q: First question. Who are you? Can you explain us a bit some stuff about yourself? Maybe we can start with Thomas.
Thomas Seyfried introduces himself as a biology professor at Boston College, describing his focus on cancer metabolism, teaching undergraduates, and leading preclinical research on metabolic therapies for cancer. He explains the emphasis on metabolic rather than genetic causes of cancer and outlines the clinical implications of their metabolic framework.
Who Is REALLY the Next Global Superpower? - Andrew Bustamante
Q: What are the three main factors making the world more dangerous?
Multipolarity, the rise of decentralized currency (cryptocurrency), and the rise of authoritarianism, each increasing the potential for conflict and undermining traditional security and democratic norms.
