Global Political Challenges: Iran, Venezuela, Moldova and the West’s Response to the Weakening 'Axis of Evil'


Direct analytical discussion of Iranian protests, Venezuela's crisis, Moldova's union debate, and Western sanctions.

The host analyzes recent political developments, focusing on Iran, Venezuela, Moldova, and the response of Western countries to the weakening so-called 'axis of evil'.

In Iran, protests escalate amid economic hardship, internet shutdowns, and harsh government measures. Despite a young demographic pushing for change, government control remains based on military groups and oil revenues, with China as the main buyer.

Venezuela is facing a political and economic crisis with significant external influence. The government is releasing political prisoners, and legitimacy issues remain at the international level.

In Europe, there is a trend toward consolidation in response to Russian and Iranian threats. The UK is considering the detention of "shadow fleet" tankers, but it is unclear if these measures are sufficient to truly isolate aggressive regimes.

Moldova's president reiterates that European integration is more realistic than unification with Romania. Security issues for Eastern European countries depend heavily on Western support and Germany’s geopolitical weight.

The discussion covers currency stability, oil markets, social integration prospects, and the future of political regimes in the analyzed countries. The weakening of the 'axis of evil' continues, but China’s role—whose economy is also stagnating—is pivotal for regime stability.

Special attention is paid to sanctions, their impact on the economy, and the possibilities for international pressure to change political landscapes in these countries.
