Glenn Diesen - Greater Eurasia Podcast

News Politics

Glenn Diesen - Greater Eurasia Podcast explores how Russian foreign policy, geoeconomics, and Eurasian integration are reshaping the world order. Hosted by Professor Glenn Diesen, this podcast offers in depth discussions on the shifting balance of power between East and West, the rise of Greater Eurasia as a strategic and economic space, and the ideas driving these transformations. Listeners can expect thoughtful analysis, accessible explanations of complex geopolitical trends, and conversations that connect current events to long term structural changes in international politics. Whether you follow news and politics closely or are just beginning to explore global affairs, you can listen episodes to gain a clearer understanding of why Eurasia matters and how it influences security, trade, and diplomacy. This podcast is for anyone seeking serious, informed perspectives beyond the usual headlines.

Dmitry Polyanskiy is the First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations. Polyanskiy argues that the spirit of Alaska is not dead, and it is still a diplomatic path to peace. However, if Trump sends Tomahawk missiles, then it will be considered a direct US attack on Russia by the Trump administration. Furthermore, as the Tomahawk can carry a nuclear warhead, Russia will have to consider it a possible nuclear first strike.
