Brazilian writer and geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar’s interview on Al Mayadeen's The Proximate Aspect dives straight into the shifting fault lines of global power, from the rise of BRICS to China’s quiet technological resilience in the face of Western tech sanctions and Russia’s recalibrated military strategy.
