    When did Simon turn into a shill for NATO? Has he really forgotten all the time he’s spent documenting their global manipulation? Extremely sad to see a legend fall so far from grace.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ethiopia is at War. Here's What You Need to Know
Q: How can two historically divided groups in Ethiopia cooperate against a common foe, and what are the main obstacles to achieving sustainable peace?
Baruch Salehshi explains that while the Fano and Amhara factions share a common goal of resisting Abiy Ahmed's government, deep-seated grievances, competing regional ambitions, and divergent strategies undermine coalition cohesion; external pressures and negotiated solutions through the Prosperity Party have also failed to deliver lasting peace, suggesting that internal compromises and international mediation will be critical.
Could NATO Go to War By Mistake?
Q: What is the weakest part of the army today in terms of readiness for future warfare?
Shortages across artillery, air defense, combat engineers, and overall manning; the argument is for a balanced force with adequate numbers and integrated capabilities rather than chasing novelty.
Could NATO Go to War By Mistake?
Q: Do you think there will be a European land war on the continent in the next decade?
Yes, more likely than before if American commitment wavers and if deterrence continues to weaken, though the probability remains uncertain and depends on many variables including political decisions and military postures.
Could NATO Go to War By Mistake?
Q: How likely do you think it is that NATO will be involved in a major war in the next 10 years?
The guest argues the risk has risen due to deterrence erosion, unpredictability in US leadership, and geopolitical stress; while not certain, the likelihood is non-negligible and could occur through miscalculation or accidental escalation.
NKHR Interview
Q: Why does the South Korean government not want to support North Korean human rights?
Currently, a progressive government is in power that has cut support for human rights initiatives, reflecting internal political divisions.
