Summary
Dan Kovalik sees a shift away from the United States and the West, and a shift toward the East, primarily Russia and China. The Ukraine invasion marks the dramatic beginning of the Multipolar World. Moscow clearly saw the U.S. was intent on destroying Russia (e.g. RAND whitepapers). The media today are war-time propagandists and those who question the narrative are cancelled and lose their jobs. The U.S. Empire is collapsing and sanctions are speeding that up. Latin America is defying Uncle Sam and telling the U.S. to go pound salt, meanwhile looking for development assistance from China.

| 0:00.0 | Geopolitics and Empire is joined once again by lawyer, professor, and prolific author Dan Kowalik. |
| 0:05.5 | His books include the plot to scapegoat Russia, the plot to attack Iran, the plot to control the world, the plot to overthrow Venezuela, no more war and cancel this book. |
| 0:15.5 | Welcome, Dan. I see you still haven't been canceled. That's good news. |
| 0:19.9 | Yeah, knock on wood, as we say, yes, |
| 0:22.4 | not yet, not yet. So it's good news and it's good to talk again. And there's a lot going on. |
| 0:27.8 | And you're reading your book titles, that's a lot of plots. Perhaps your book on Russia should |
| 0:34.2 | have been also titled the plot to overthrow Russia, given what we're seeing now. |
| 0:42.6 | Yes. Yes. A lot of things, you know, have been, that you've been writing about are now coming to ahead, the confrontation between the U.S. and Russia now taking place in Ukraine. Iran sits there on |
| 0:48.4 | the sidelines waiting to see what happens, but meanwhile is working ever more closely with Russia and |
| 0:52.7 | China. We even saw the U saw the us pay a quick visit |
| 0:55.0 | to venezuela i believe to see if they could get some some oil or something i don't know what's |
| 0:59.1 | going on there and so you know what's what are your thoughts on what's going on in ukraine and where |
| 1:03.2 | we are uh at the you know in this moment in this juncture yeah well we live in a very |
| 1:09.2 | interest in very interesting times. And, you know, I think we won't know for some time what all this means, but I do think that what we're seeing is a shift away from the United States and the West and a shift towards the East, towards Russia and China primarily. |
| 1:33.5 | And that we now live in a multi-polar world. I mean, that's been developing for some time now. |
| 1:40.3 | But I think the Ukraine invasion really marks the dramatic beginning of that multipolar world. |
| 1:53.2 | You know, this is probably not a popular sentiment, but I mean, my gut tells me is that, you know, for years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the U.S., in particular, NATO, have had their way, wherever they want it. Invade Iraq twice, invade Afghanistan, destroy Libya, destroy Serbia, destroy Somalia, you know, on and on. |
| 2:22.7 | And the world basically stood by and took it because it had to. |
| 2:28.6 | And what we see in Ukraine is Russia finally saying, we're not going to take it anymore. |
| 2:37.0 | You know? |
| 2:38.1 | And I think what Russia clearly saw, and it's uncontroverted, is that the U.S. intended on destabilizing, if not destroying Russia. |
