Podcast episode

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.

Mike Benz is a former Deputy Assistant Secretary at the U.S. State Department and the current Executive Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online. Benz discusses how the intelligence agencies use "non-governmental organisations" (NGOs) to hijack the civil society of other states, and how the US and its partners seized control over Ukraine. Benz has also given interviews to Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Russel Brand and others.Support the channel: PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/Diesen79Buy me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/gdiesengGo Fund Me: https://gofund.me/09ea012f
