He posits that the United States and its European allies possess unmatched power, citing recent military actions in Venezuela and the lack of support for Iran as proof of Russian and Chinese weakness. Mikovic characterizes Russia and Iran as an "axis of impotence," suggesting they are incapable of providing a true alternative to Western systems. The discussion also explores the global shift toward technocracy, noting that rapid digitalization and the elimination of cash are occurring across both East and West. Finally, the source warns of a potential large-scale war in Europe and predicts a "Great Game" in Central Asia where the West and China will ultimately displace Russian influence.Listen/Download on SpreakerWatch on BitChute / Brighteon / Odysee / Rumble / YouTube*Support Geopolitics & Empire!Become a Member Donate https://geopoliticsandempire.com/donationsConsult https://geopoliticsandempire.com/consultation**Listen Ad-Free for $4.99 a Month or $49.99 a Year!Apple Subscriptions Supercast https://geopoliticsandempire.supercast.com***Visit Our Affiliates & Sponsors!Above Phone https://abovephone.com/?above=geopoliticsAmerican Gold Exchange https://www.amergold.com/geopoliticseasyDNS (15% off with GEOPOLITICS) https://easydns.comEscape The Technocracy (15% off with GEOPOLITICS) https://escapethetechnocracy.com/geopoliticsOutbound Mexico https://outboundmx.comPassVult https://passvult.comSociatates Civis https://societates-civis.comStartMail https://www.startmail.com/partner/?ref=ngu4nzrWise Wolf Gold https://www.wolfpack.gold/?ref=geopoliticsWebsitesX https://x.com/nikola_mikovicTelegram https://t.me/Nikola_MikovicAbout Nikola MikovicNikola Mikovic is a freelance journalist, researcher and analyst based in Serbia.
