On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Anatol Lieven, the director of the Eurasia Program at the Quincy Institute. He discusses Europe’s self-entrapment over providing assistance to Ukraine as the proxy war against Russia continues, European leaders deliberately lying to their people that Russia will imminently attack Europe and whether their populations believe them, Britain’s unexpected appearance in the Geneva Negotiations to end the Ukraine proxy war, and whether or not Europe is finally returning to a constructive role in international relations. In the second half, he discusses the Western media allegations that Alexey Navalny was poisoned with Ecuadorean dart frog poison, the potential collapse of the Western European ‘Coalition of the Willing’ supporting Ukraine, the collapse of belief in ‘liberal values’ in Western Europe from the Iraq War to Gaza, the farcical claims of the Russian and Chinese threat in the Arctic, and much more.
