  • Host gets repetitive on Russia.

    Host seems to have a particular set of opinions on Russia that he is attached to. As a result of which his comments in the Russia interviews gets quite boring and I skip over them more often than not. For example, he is almost guaranteed to say “treasonous” in any given episode on Russia. He’s more neutral and receptive to different opinions when it comes to Iran so I find the segments on Iran more interesting.

  • Some Observations About the Glenn Diesen Podcast

    I have listened to Glenn Diesen’s podcast for many months and, more recently, on an almost daily basis. Few people produce long-form geopolitical interviews with the consistency, depth, and range that Diesen does. His guests frequently include distinguished scholars, diplomats, military analysts, historians, and economists whose perspectives receive little attention in mainstream Western media. Conversations with figures such as Jeffrey Sachs, John Mearsheimer, Lawrence Wilkerson, and Alexander ... more

  • Accused of being a shill for Russia…

    So, I took a listen to three episodes of this podcast to find out.

    Ah, that would be a definite yes on that claim.

    But, still interesting to listen to - as long as you are able to know enough to be able to see through his national conservatism propaganda.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Douglas Macgregor: Israel vs Turkey and Qatar: New US War Strategy?
Q: Is there a viable path for the U.S. or its regional partners to achieve a durable outcome in the Middle East without full-scale ground war?
The guest contends that sustained ground campaigns are unlikely given troop levels and political constraints, and that the focus is more on air and missile operations unless there is a genuine strategic shift or capitulation by adversaries.
Douglas Macgregor: Israel vs Turkey and Qatar: New US War Strategy?
Q: What do you see happening next militarily in the Iran situation and what might the Trump administration try to do?
The guest argues there is no real willingness to reach an agreement unless Iran capitulates unconditionally, suggesting limited options that are unlikely to produce a quick or decisive victory, and emphasizes the risk of escalation without a clear strategic objective.
Alex Krainer: Bond Market Collapse & the New Chinese Economic Order
Q: What could change the current trajectory—toward a more 'physical economy' as you describe?
Krainer suggests returning to a national-system approach—investing in manufacturing, infrastructure, and a national banking framework—as a viable long-term alternative to the globalized, financialized model that many fear is unsustainable.
Alex Krainer: Bond Market Collapse & the New Chinese Economic Order
Q: What is happening in the US bond market, and why does it matter for ordinary people?
Krainer explains that the US bond market drives the cost of money globally, and while higher yields might seem beneficial for savers, the underlying mechanism is linked to currency dilution and impaired assets, which can erode purchasing power and eventually threaten financial stability.
Chas Freeman: Trump's Genocidal Threat & the Rising Risk of Nuclear War
Q: What is your read on Iran's stance at the UN and how does it square with US policy?
Freeman explains that Iran seeks to retain sovereignty and pursue peaceful nuclear aims while resisting coercion, and emphasizes the need for negotiations within a framework of equality rather than pressure.
