Glenn Diesen about the benefits of a multipolar, Eurasian world order

Paul Buitink talks to Glenn Diesen, a Norwegian academic and political scientist. He is a professor at the School of Business of the University of South-Eastern Norway.

Glenn explains why the current international liberal unipolar world order is in decline. And why a new multipolar Eurasian order is inevitable and how that would benefit the world.

He describes Europe's role and challenge in this new world order. Also Glenn dives into the Russia and Ukraine conflict and why the incremental approach of the West could lead to a boiling frog situation.

At the end he also shares his experiences of being a controversial scientist in Norway.

I like Professor Diesen. Needless to say, he always approach geopolitics from a very learned perspective as naturally expected.

Glenn is stating the fundamental truth. Anyone who wants peace in Ukraine and the world should listen to Glenn Diesen.

If ppl like Glenn Diesen are being canceled in the West then the West has truly lost their political souls.

Thanks for having Prof. Glenn Dieson on the show. Always appreciate his wide-ranging knowledge & perceptive analysis of current global movements towards multi polarity.

Russia may have miscalculated regarding Sweden, Finland and NATO support for Ukraine. Similarly, US and Europe miscalculated regarding the support of China and even India for Russia. By ignoring Russia request for an inclusive European security architecture, the West has accelerated the demise of Western Hegemony and decline of European economy. No side is perfect which why a negotiated settlement is absolutely necessary.

Glenn Diesen is one of my most favorite and insightful YouTubers. If Prof. Mershiemer's interview exceeded 1 million views, this one deserves to exceed 2 million.

That was a superb analysis by Glenn. And it is rare to hear such analysis from a Norwegian or Dutch.

[victorkmlee]

Excellent points by Glenn Diesen. Realistic, pragmatic and thoughtful explanation of the changing world, opportunities, challenges and dangers that accompany it. Unfortunately, many European leaders don't see this or are too afraid to confront this reality.
