Seyed M. Marandi; Glenn Diesen: Israel, Saudi Arabia and the US; All-in on War? Shifting world power dynamics?

(RAD: This is definitely an excellent discussion between Professor Glenn Diesen & Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi while sitting at a table in Moscow. They both realize that a lot of the problems we are seeing in the US & Europe are the result of their 'exceptionalism' thinking. Both of their ruling classes still think as though they are powerful, like they were in the past with their empires. They haven't adjusted to the new multipolar BRICS world & the new relations between Russia, China & Iran.

The US & Europe are both in decline and their policies are only hastening this decline, instead to acknowledging the changing world restructuring and not fighting it, but being humble enough to realize what should be done. Israel is also in a precarious position, especially if they decide to attack Iran again. Many of the Persian Gulf countries who were aligned with the US in the wars against Iran, are also in a precarious position & still not willing to take the necessary steps to preserve their countries & establish peace in the region.

As a result of actions taken by the US, Europe & NATO, they have pushed Russia, China & Iran closer together & the rise of BRICS. These are very significant changes that the US, Europe & Israel are having trouble adjusting to.

This is a very open discussion where Marandi & Diesen are honestly observing what has changed & trying to make sense of them. There is a lot to be learned here & why we are looking at some rough times as this finally gets sorted out. — RAD)
