Historian and American University of Armenia lecturer Pietro Shakarian joins Pascal to discuss America’s “third Red Scare,” the Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz, the proposed Mecca Pact, Ukraine’s future, Caucasus transit plans, and why he sees Europe’s elites as tied to US power during a shift toward multipolarity.Links:Pietro Shakarian at The Nation: https://www.thenation.com/authors/pie...Anastas Mikoyan: An Armenian Reformer in Khrushchev’s Kremlin: https://iupress.org/9780253073556/ana...Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00 Introduction and America’s Third Red Scare04:06 Trump, empire decline, and the Iran war07:36 War of aggression and US public opinion15:39 Reform, neoliberalism, and AI data centers20:31 Iran’s strategy and the Mecca Pact31:15 US overstretch and Caucasus corridors39:03 Ukraine, Russia, and Europe’s war strategy49:15 Why European elites follow US power57:15 US limits and the shift to multipolarity
