The Most Explosive Geopolitical Debate of 2024: Pepe Escobar vs Ankit Shah!

In The Most Explosive Geopolitical Debate of 2024: Pepe Escobar vs Ankit Shah, two prominent geopolitical analysts tackle critical issues defining our global landscape.

Pepe Escobar, a veteran analyst, and Dr. Ankit Shah, a rising voice, debate hot topics from Kashmir’s future and the China-Taiwan standoff to the Iran-Israel conflict and BRICS 2024.

Their insights shed light on the strategic implications of de-dollarization, Collective Western radicalization, and the shifts within the multipolar world order. The debate delves into the American Economic Union, the possibility of a UK partition, and how the “Axis of Resistance” might reshape Middle Eastern politics.

They discuss South America’s role, and the Modi-MBS relationship, and explore scenarios like a potential civil war in the U.S. and new “Crusades” in Europe. This video offers an in-depth analysis of global power dynamics, shifting alliances, and the Global South’s emerging political and economic challenges.

Escobar and ‪@Dr_Ankit_Shah‬ examine the rising multipolar world and highlight India’s unique position as a potential bridge between East and West, the impact of U.S. foreign policy, and the critical role of BRICS in countering Western dominance.

Their discussion offers a fresh perspective on the ideological and economic challenges facing today’s powers, and the emerging geopolitical landscape as we head toward 2047.

While this debate covers a wide range of geopolitical scenarios, it does not explore certain domestic factors impacting the U.S. and Europe’s current radicalization trends. The intricacies of internal economic policies in BRICS countries, individual Western domestic policies on radicalization, and a comprehensive analysis of grassroots resistance movements are not the focus here.

This conversation provides a global overview, emphasizing macro-level dynamics over country-specific deep dives.
