You are listening to Geopolitics and Empire. As a reminder, always support the Renegade Transmission. Check out the website and the substack for all those details. Joining us for the very first time is not Nikola Mikovic, but Nikola Mirkovich, who's been carrying out humanitarian missions in Europe for more than 16 years in the war zones such as Kosovo Donbas.

He's given numerous lectures on some of his experience and the historical and political reasons for the tensions between North and South, East, and West.

He's a regular commentator on geopolitics and international media and the author of numerous

books in French.

D'brado show, Nikola.

Well, no, no.

Thanks for the invitation.

Thanks for coming on.

You know, I had on Nikola Mikovic the other week,

and one of my listeners is like,

you should talk to Nikola Mirkovic.

And I'm like, who's that?

French, Serbian analyst, author.

And then before getting your take, anything you want to tell us about your background your work yeah I mean I've traveled a lot when I was a kid

my parents for they would move from one spot to another and it was always a fun for me to get

different views on different places and seeing the places

I once lived in with another perspective having moved.

And I do think that traveling does open perspectives and the worldview.

So I think that helped me quite a lot.

What I can say, which is interesting, is that being brought up in different cultures,

my eyes really open during the Balkan Wars.

And this is where all of a sudden I started having this idea of me living in the West and being with the good guys and being on the side of democracy and freedom of speech.
