John Helmer: The Polling Paradox: Why the Wars Will Continue

from Dialogue Works

In this interview, we unpack the "polling paradox" shaping the 2028 US elections, revealing how "stop-go" war strategies benefit top political contenders while voters focus on the economy. The discussion shifts to massive geopolitical realignments: Moscow’s waning grip on Syrian military bases, deep divisions within Russian public opinion, and the game-changing "Mecca Pact" between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan. Learn how this new alliance targets Iran and Iraq, blocks India's regional corridors, and paves the way for covert proxy wars. We also examine the potential transfer of Turkish S-400 systems and what it means for global alliances. Tune in to understand why domestic politics ensure these global conflicts will continue.
