from Going Underground Hosted by Afshin Rattansi · host Going Underground

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Steve Keen, Distinguished Research Fellow at the Institute for Strategy Resilience and Security at UCL. He discusses the severe risk of a global famine as a result of the Strait of Hormuz being shut creating a shortage of petroleum-based fertilisers, Epstein blackmail being one of the reasons for this war despite the disastrous consequences, the financial sector’s ignorance on the true consequences of this war, why a serious financial crisis is now looming for most of the world, the combination of stupidity and blackmail behind Trump launching the war on Iran, the insider trading and corruption leading to massive profits for those close to Trump, why nuclear deterrence remains the only deterrence to attack by the US, the risk of Israel’s Samson Option, why the U.K. and Europe have doubled down on the proxy war against Russia through Ukraine, and much more.
