Originally published on Dec 24, 2025.The European Union has started using the Anti-Russia sanctions as a repressive tool to smuther civil society dissent within the West. Last week, Colonel Jacque Baud, a former Swiss army member and NATO advisor was sanctioned, but so were several others before him, including activists and Journalists. One of them is Hüsseyin Dogru, a german national who was sanctioned already in May. He joines us today to discuss his case.Links:X (Twitter): https://x.com/hussedogruNeutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com(Opt in for Academic Section: https://pascallottaz.substack.com/s/a...)Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
Originally published on Dec 22, 2025.Fifty-nine individuals are by now sanctioned by the European Union in pursuit of punishing Russia for the War in Ukraine. Many of them are Russian citizens but more and more the EU is putting its own citizens and those of third states on this list, for reasons that have often little to do with Russia. One of them is my compatriot, Nathalie Yamb, who was in fact the first Swiss Citizen to be included on the list, back already in June 2025.Links:Nathalie's YouTube channel: @nathyambNeutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
Originally published on Dec 21, 2025.NATO and EU „jurists“ are trying to tell us that Kosovo is a case „sui generis“ — aka unlike any case before or after it. Well, how convenient, since it is the first case that NATO used to justify bombing foreign territory (Serbia). Today we are going to put a very close focus on Kosovo, the history of the conflict, and what it is all about.Joining me is Dr. Sandra Davidovich, a scholar of Yugoslav history and modern Kosovo.Links:Sandra's Google Scholar page: https://scholar.google.com/citations?...Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
Originally published on Dec 20, 2025.With its sanctions list, the EU HAS quietly revived medieval "outlawry" in the heart of modern Europe. Why can a secretive administrative body bypass every judicial safeguard to financially erase a citizen? Horrible realities are surfacing within the institutions supposedly built to protect our most fundamental liberties.I am joined again by Michael von der Schulenberg, a German parliamentarian in the EU Parliament, who provides a rare, first-hand account of the unchecked power dynamics currently shifting the continent’s legal foundations.Links:Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
Originally published on Dec 19, 2025.Europe is heading toward total war with Russia, while the responsible elites continue to pour fuel on the fire. What madness has taken hold of the continent’s political leaders, and what is driving European diplomats to finally stop this train rushing toward disaster? To shed light on these questions, I am joined by a career diplomat who has worked alongside his European counterparts for decades.I am pleased to welcome Ambassador Georges Martin. Ambassador Martin was a Swiss diplomat, serving in particular as ambassador to Indonesia and to several countries in Africa. He concluded his career in Bern as Deputy State Secretary at the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs.Links:Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesOriginal Video in French: • Ex-Ambassadeur Suisse Révèle: l’Europe per...

Originally published on Dec 18, 2025.The European Union just decided to permanently freeze 140 Billion Euros or so of Russian State assets and basically expropriate the Russian state. What does mean for Europe as an economy and as a market place? Here to help with this question is Dejan Soskic, a Professor at the University of Belgarde and former Governor of the Serbian Central bank.Links:Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
Originally published on Dec 16, 2025. How did we reach a point where quoting Western sources gets you branded a foreign propagandist? Is the EU's executive branch now completely out of its mind, punishing dissenters without trial under the guise of fighting "propaganda"?To discuss this Orwellian turn, I sat down with my friend and colleague Glenn Diesen. As a professor at the University of Southeast Norway and a sharp geopolitical analyst, Glenn brings the necessary depth to understand why Europe is seemingly criminalizing objective analysis.Links:Glenn's YouTube Channel: @GDiesen1Glenn's Substack: https://glenndiesen.substack.com/Glenn's X/Twitter: https://x.com/Glenn_DiesenNeutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...

Originally published on Dec 13, 2025.Mainstream Media keeps feeding us narratives about Russia without ever bothering going there. In contrast, a man who has been listening in on the Russian viewpoint for a long time is Larry C. Johnson, a former CIA analyst and member of group “Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity”.Links:Sonar21: https://sonar21.com/Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
Originally published on Dec 13, 2025.At the end of November this year, the United States published the so-called National Security Strategy. This document here, and when I say the United States, what I mean is actually the White House. I will explain in a moment why that matters. On the one hand, what we've also seen in December is that Representative Thomas Massey, Congressman Thomas Massei, introduced a bill to remove the United States from NATO. Sounds quite interesting, doesn't it? The National Security Strategy also says that the strategy of the United States now needs to be shifted away from dominating the entire planet toward new goals and overall, the assumption might emerge that the United States is seriously changing its strategy of how to approach global war and peace.But I now come around to the conclusion that this is largely a fat morgana, a make-believe. And I, the longer I look at this, the more I think that Brian Tic actually is right when he. Phrase this as just another iteration of continuity of agenda, division of labor. And other Strat US strategies in order to keep everything the same.Links:Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
Originally published on Dec 12, 2025.A good part of Western media has been telling us for years that Vladimir Putin is trying to re-create the Soviet Union and its militant, expansionist foreign policy. But what exactly was Soviet Foreign Policy about in the first place? Here to help with this historical question is Dr. Michael Jabara Carley, a prominent Canadian historian and professor of history at the Université de Montréal, specializing in 20th-century international relations, primarily the relations between the Soviet Union (USSR) and Western powers from 1917 to 1945.Links:Michael's books on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/...Michael's University of Montreal page: https://histoire.umontreal.ca/english...Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
Originally published on Dec 11, 2025. Last week, Vladimir Putin visited India and was received there with the highest honours. What does this tell us about these two countries and the emerging BRICS states? Here to discuss with me is the Indian scholar and Russia expert, Professor Anuradha Chenoy, a former professor and dean at the School of International Studies at India’s prestigious (JaVa Halal) Jawaharlal Nehru University.

Originally published on Dec 10, 2025.Over the past weeks, something has changed about the war in Ukraine. Although the fighting is still raging, it feels as if we have crossed a tipping point. Zelensky is under fire even in the West for corruption, the American’s once again said they want to end it A.S.A.P. in their new national security strategy, and the battle field losses seem to be getting faster. Here to help with the developments is once again, friend of the show, Stas Krapivnik.Links:Stanislav Krapivnik's YouTube Channel: @MrSlavikman Stanislav Krapivnik's Telegram: https://t.me/stastydaiobratnoNeutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
Originally published on Dec 9, 2025.Euro-American Zionism (Jewish and Christian) has killed millions in West Asia, devastated the region, and it is the motor behind the Gaza Genocide. But Israel itself is under threat of falling pray to the deadly logic that birthed the state in the first place.Today we are holding a panel discussion on what makes Zionism such a dangerous and ultimately even self-negating force.I‘m joined by 3 world class academics: Professor Yakov Rabkin of Montreal University, Professor Manuel Ramos of the University Institut of Lisbon, and Professor Jeffrey Sachs of Colombia University.Links:Yakov's books:Isreal in Palestine: Jewish opposition to Zionism: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/isra...What is Modern Israel?: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/what...Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
Originally published on Dec 8, 2025.Being a “Putin-versteher”—a “Putin-understander”—is one of the worst accusations one can make against someone in German-speaking Europe. It usually comes from people who believe they know exactly what Russia really wants. But is the West even capable of understanding what its counterpart is striving for?Today I’m speaking for the second time with Dr. Petra Erler, a German political scientist and former State Secretary of the GDR. Together with her husband, Günter Verheugen, she recently published the book “Der lange Weg zum Krieg: Russland, die Ukraine und der Westen – Eskalation statt Entspannung” (“The Long Road to War: Russia, Ukraine, and the West – Escalation Instead of De-escalation”).Links:Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
Originally published on Dec 7, 2025.In Europe, we once honestly believed that we had learned the lessons of the past. Never again would we support a Genocide. Never again would we support war on this continent. Yet here we are, at the loosing end of a NATO proxy war in the East and a Genocide in Gaza. And so much more.Here to discuss what went wrong mentally is Dr. Hans-Georg Möller, Professor of Philosophy for Social and Political Thought at the University of Macau and the Host of the YouTube channel Carefree Wandering.Links:Hans-Georg's YouTube channel: @carefreewandering Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
Originally published on 6 Dec 2025.War propaganda in Europe is running at full throttle. Whether in the mainstream or on social media, anyone calling for more war against Russia is being listened to. How can we possibly get out of this?That is the question my guest today is addressing: the German author and playwrite Fabian Scheidler, who recently published a book on this very topic titled “Capable of Peace: How We Can Stop Creating Our Own Enemies.”Links:X: https://x.com/ScheidlerFabianFacebook: / counter.image Instagram: / fabian_scheidler Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/scheidlerfab...Website: https://fabianscheidler.com/"The End of the Megamachine.

Originally published on 5 Dec 2025.While the United States and Russia are negotiating peace, Germany and the rest of Europe are yapping for more military force in order to impose their vision of “justice.” Yet Europe has neither the weapons nor the economic strength to achieve anything even remotely like that. What on earth is going on with Germany and Europe?To better understand the continent’s geopolitical situation, I am joined today by Dr. Gabriele Krone-Schmalz, the author of numerous nonfiction books, including “Respekt geht anders: Betrachtungen über unser zerstrittenes Land” (“Respect Works Differently: Reflections on Our Divided Country”) and “Eiszeit: Wie Russland dämonisiert wird und warum das so gefährlich ist” (“Ice Age: How Russia Is Demonized and Why That Is So Dangerous”).Links:Gabriele's HP: https://www.krone-schmalz.deYouTube: / gabrielekroneschmalz Neutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesOur Shop: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
Originally published on 4 Dec 2025.The US delegation just met with Vladimir Putin and his staff in Moscow and although there is no peace agreement yet, we seem to be one step closer to some form of “compromise” as the Russian TASS news agency puts it.Here to help explaining the developments are Ray McGovern and Larry Johnson.Links:Ray's website: https://raymcgovern.com/Ray's X (Twitter): https://x.com/raymcgovernJudge Nepolitano's podcast: https://art19.com/shows/judging-freedomNeutrality Studies Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neutralitystudiesNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com Goods Store: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourth...
