Will Russia REALLY Attack NATO?

Video Description

In this Q&A, I tackle five of the most intriguing and widely debated questions in international politics today. Is Russia really preparing to attack NATO—or is the recent rhetoric more about deterrence, domestic politics, and shaping Western behaviour? Then we turn to East Asia to explore why Taiwan, despite facing an increasingly assertive China, has never developed a nuclear weapon—and why doing so might actually make the island less secure. We also examine a deeper, more troubling issue: why some atrocities are etched into global memory while others fade from view. Is it about media coverage, geopolitics, collective identity, or something more uncomfortable? From there, we look at two small states in the Pacific—Niue and the Cook Islands—and ask whether they can truly be considered independent countries under international law, and what their unusual relationship with New Zealand means for sovereignty and recognition. Finally, we consider how artificial intelligence is reshaping foreign policy. From diplomacy and intelligence to warfare and global governance, AI is already transforming how states act—and how power itself works. *VIDEO CHAPTERS* 00:00 Introduction and Titles 00:02 - Is Russia Preparing to Attack NATO? 08:24 - Why Doesn’t Taiwan Develop a Nuclear Weapon? 13:02 - Why Are Some Atrocities Remembered, and Others Not? 20:30 - Are Niue and the Cook Islands Really Countries? 25:41 - How Will AI Affect Foreign Policy? *SUPPORT THE CHANNEL* If you like my videos, please subscribe or become a Channel Member.
