The Proximate Aspect with Pepe Escobar
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. In a wide-ranging interview, Escobar tackles the future of the multipolar order, the strategic significance of Xinjiang, whether Beijing and Moscow are executing a coordinated endgame, and how US policies from Ukraine to Gaza to Latin America are meeting growing resistance across the Global South. He also weighs in on the impact of US economic measures on Brazil's foreign policy orientation. It’s a sweeping, provocative map of the world in flux, and one that demands to be watched in full.
