Originally published on Jan 1, 2026. In its quest to defeat Russia, the EU has started sanctioning its own citizens, and those of third states like my country men, Nathalie Yamb and Jacques Baud. But what are these sanctions actually in the international legal system? Here to help with this question is Dr. Alexandra Hofer, an Assistant Professor Public International Law at Utrecht University’s Sch...

Originally published on Dec 31, 2025. Why do our political debates inevitably hit dead ends? Why do we dismiss opposing views as madness? I suspect the issue isn't just about facts, but about the subconscious blueprints we hold of human nature itself. To help me decode these hidden psychological frameworks, I’m joined by Dr. Bernhard Hommel, a full professor of psychology at the Shandong Norma...

Originally published on Dec 30, 2025. In 2014 and 2022, the EU initiated sanctions regimes against Russia. The lists of entities and individuals were originally supposed to target Russia’s econmic and political elites only. But since 2024, the list has been expanded to include “disinformation” and is being used to target journalists and academics even in EU and Schengen-state areas, like the Germa...

Originally published on Dec 29, 2025. Europe is gearing up for war. The militarization drive is undeniable and has by now also reached the universities. But, not everybody is ok with that. My guest today, in fact, quite his job as an Associate Professor at the University of Souther Denmark to protest the militarization of research projects. Dr. Dylan Cawthorne is a specialist in drone design and e...

Originally published on Dec 28, 2025. It is a trauma—a trauma that must remain repressed. While Willy Brandt’s kneeling in Warsaw has been etched into German collective memory, and remembrance of the six million victims of the Holocaust forms the core of Germany’s “culture of remembrance,” the country's guilt toward the 27 million citizens of the Soviet Union who were killed remains a taboo—es...

Originally published on Dec 27, 2025. The 59 individuals sanctioned by the EU are just the beginning. The eurocrats are only getting started with their campaign against internal dissent. Their unhinged nature is as much a function of the way they are losing the Ukraine proxy-war as also a direct result of 30 years of End-of-History megalomania in the West. Paired with the loss of the USA as a tran...

Originally published on Dec 24, 2025. The European Union has started using the Anti-Russia sanctions as a repressive tool to smuther civil society dissent within the West. Last week, Colonel Jacque Baud, a former Swiss army member and NATO advisor was sanctioned, but so were several others before him, including activists and Journalists. One of them is Hüsseyin Dogru, a german national who was san...

Originally published on Dec 22, 2025. Fifty-nine individuals are by now sanctioned by the European Union in pursuit of punishing Russia for the War in Ukraine. Many of them are Russian citizens but more and more the EU is putting its own citizens and those of third states on this list, for reasons that have often little to do with Russia. One of them is my compatriot, Nathalie Yamb, who was in fac...

Originally published on Dec 21, 2025. NATO and EU „jurists“ are trying to tell us that Kosovo is a case „sui generis“ — aka unlike any case before or after it. Well, how convenient, since it is the first case that NATO used to justify bombing foreign territory (Serbia). Today we are going to put a very close focus on Kosovo, the history of the conflict, and what it is all about. Joining me is Dr....

Originally published on Dec 20, 2025. With its sanctions list, the EU HAS quietly revived medieval "outlawry" in the heart of modern Europe. Why can a secretive administrative body bypass every judicial safeguard to financially erase a citizen? Horrible realities are surfacing within the institutions supposedly built to protect our most fundamental liberties. I am joined again by Michael...

Originally published on Dec 19, 2025. Europe is heading toward total war with Russia, while the responsible elites continue to pour fuel on the fire. What madness has taken hold of the continent’s political leaders, and what is driving European diplomats to finally stop this train rushing toward disaster? To shed light on these questions, I am joined by a career diplomat who has worked alongside h...

Originally published on Dec 18, 2025. The European Union just decided to permanently freeze 140 Billion Euros or so of Russian State assets and basically expropriate the Russian state. What does mean for Europe as an economy and as a market place? Here to help with this question is Dejan Soskic, a Professor at the University of Belgarde and former Governor of the Serbian Central bank. Links:Neutra...

Originally published on Dec 16, 2025. How did we reach a point where quoting Western sources gets you branded a foreign propagandist? Is the EU's executive branch now completely out of its mind, punishing dissenters without trial under the guise of fighting "propaganda"?To discuss this Orwellian turn, I sat down with my friend and colleague Glenn Diesen. As a professor at the Univers...

Originally published on Dec 13, 2025. Mainstream Media keeps feeding us narratives about Russia without ever bothering going there. In contrast, a man who has been listening in on the Russian viewpoint for a long time is Larry C. Johnson, a former CIA analyst and member of group “Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity”.Links:Sonar21: https://sonar21.com/ Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel:...

Originally published on Dec 13, 2025. At the end of November this year, the United States published the so-called National Security Strategy. This document here, and when I say the United States, what I mean is actually the White House. I will explain in a moment why that matters. On the one hand, what we've also seen in December is that Representative Thomas Massey, Congressman Thomas Massei,...

Originally published on Dec 12, 2025. A good part of Western media has been telling us for years that Vladimir Putin is trying to re-create the Soviet Union and its militant, expansionist foreign policy. But what exactly was Soviet Foreign Policy about in the first place? Here to help with this historical question is Dr. Michael Jabara Carley, a prominent Canadian historian and professor of histor...

Originally published on Dec 11, 2025. Last week, Vladimir Putin visited India and was received there with the highest honours. What does this tell us about these two countries and the emerging BRICS states? Here to discuss with me is the Indian scholar and Russia expert, Professor Anuradha Chenoy, a former professor and dean at the School of International Studies at India’s prestigious (JaVa Halal...

Originally published on Dec 10, 2025. Over the past weeks, something has changed about the war in Ukraine. Although the fighting is still raging, it feels as if we have crossed a tipping point. Zelensky is under fire even in the West for corruption, the American’s once again said they want to end it A.S.A.P. in their new national security strategy, and the battle field losses seem to be getting fa...

Originally published on Dec 9, 2025. Euro-American Zionism (Jewish and Christian) has killed millions in West Asia, devastated the region, and it is the motor behind the Gaza Genocide. But Israel itself is under threat of falling pray to the deadly logic that birthed the state in the first place. Today we are holding a panel discussion on what makes Zionism such a dangerous and ultimately even sel...

Originally published on Dec 8, 2025. Being a “Putin-versteher”—a “Putin-understander”—is one of the worst accusations one can make against someone in German-speaking Europe. It usually comes from people who believe they know exactly what Russia really wants. But is the West even capable of understanding what its counterpart is striving for? Today I’m speaking for the second time with Dr. Petra Erl...

Originally published on Dec 7, 2025. In Europe, we once honestly believed that we had learned the lessons of the past. Never again would we support a Genocide. Never again would we support war on this continent. Yet here we are, at the loosing end of a NATO proxy war in the East and a Genocide in Gaza. And so much more. Here to discuss what went wrong mentally is Dr. Hans-Georg Möller, Professor o...

Originally published on 6 Dec 2025. War propaganda in Europe is running at full throttle. Whether in the mainstream or on social media, anyone calling for more war against Russia is being listened to. How can we possibly get out of this? That is the question my guest today is addressing: the German author and playwrite Fabian Scheidler, who recently published a book on this very topic titled “Capa...

Originally published on 5 Dec 2025. While the United States and Russia are negotiating peace, Germany and the rest of Europe are yapping for more military force in order to impose their vision of “justice.” Yet Europe has neither the weapons nor the economic strength to achieve anything even remotely like that. What on earth is going on with Germany and Europe? To better understand the continent’s...
