  • 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.

  • Such a great show

    High-level, intelligent conversations that everyone should hear. You’ll learn more about how world events are unfolding by listening to Glenn Diesen for one week than you’ll learn in 5 years of cable news consumption. And I’ve never heard a single advertisement! It’s incredible. It’s almost like he’s doing this show for the right reasons or something.

  • The whole truth?

    I appreciate the less well publicized opinions shared. But I can’t understand why Professor Marandi never gets challenged on how the Iran government has terrorized its citizens. He makes a lot of good points about the actions of the US but paints an incomplete (and overly rosy) picture of the Iranian regime. Let’s do truth but not selectively.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chas Freeman: Israel-Turkey Conflict Could Explode Into War
Q: What impact does the proposed Pakistan-Saudi-Turkey entente have on regional security?
It signals a strategic pivot toward regional self-reliance, diversifying partnerships away from American influence and creating a coordinated approach to security that could counter Israel's regional dominance while shaping responses to threats from Iran and broader Gulf dynamics.
Chas Freeman: Israel-Turkey Conflict Could Explode Into War
Q: How do you read the current Israel-Turkey rivalry and its potential to escalate?
The rivalry is real and expands across multiple fronts, including Syria and regional alignments; while there is rhetoric about escalation, much depends on calculations by Ankara, Tel Aviv, and Washington, with dynamics potentially pushing toward a wider confrontation if diplomatic channels fail.
Pepe Escobar: U.S. Desperation in Iran: Bribing the IRGC—and Preparing for a Nuclear Strike?
Q: Could there be a diplomatic off-ramp or negotiated settlement given the current stalemate?
They suggest that any viable off-ramp would require mutual commitments and a recalibration of Western policies, but both acknowledge that trust is currently eroded and that previous MOUs have been repeatedly violated, complicating negotiations.
Pepe Escobar: U.S. Desperation in Iran: Bribing the IRGC—and Preparing for a Nuclear Strike?
Q: What is the likely outcome if the US escalates economic and military pressure on Iran?
The guests argue that Iran's strategic resilience, regional connectivity, and diverse international partnerships make a decisive US victory unlikely; instead, such pressure strengthens Iran's position and accelerates a move toward a multipolar order where Eurasian powers cooperate to bypass US influence.
Richard Wolff: The Decline of the U.S. Empire Is Accelerating Fast
Q: What role do European political movements play in this shift?
European parties and voters may pivot toward more independent foreign and economic policies, with potential realignments away from the U.S. framework as economic and geopolitical pressures mount, including the rise of anti-establishment movements that challenge traditional alliances.
