Paul Craig Roberts: The Trump No One Voted For

Amid rising U.S.-Russia tensions, nuclear escalation fears grow as submarines and missiles are deployed near Russia. Critics condemn the move as reckless, undermining peace efforts. Despite claims of wanting to end the Ukraine war, U.S. actions signal continued confrontation, driven by deep-state interests and a doctrine of American hegemony. Europe, unprepared and politically compromised, faces existential risk. The absence of a coherent peace strategy, combined with propaganda and inflated casualty figures, reveals a dangerous path toward potential global conflict. Meanwhile, Israel’s influence on U.S. foreign policy is questioned, with allegations of blackmail through operations like Epstein’s network shaping decisions in the Middle East. The discussion warns of a looming catastrophe, fueled by hubris, blunders, and a ruling elite disconnected from reality—echoing the diplomatic failures that led to World War II. With mutual security ignored and leaders unwilling to confront systemic power structures, the world edges closer to a war that could be terminal. Time, the guest warns, is running out.
