FVD International’s director, John Laughland, was invited back by TNT radio this week, this time onto a show called Muckrakers with Andrew Eborn, where he was delighted to be interviewed together with Glenn Diesen, a Norwegian academic whose work he greatly admires. The discussion focused on the misnamed “Ukraine peace summit” held in Switzerland on 15 and 16 June. It was a pointless piece of elitist summitry: when you have 90 countries and other entities around a table, no proper discussion is possible, just set-piece prepared statements read out by each participant for a few minutes. To bolster the impression that the world is united, the organisers artificially inflated the number of participants by listing various EU bodies as separate entities. (They even included the “Ecumenical Patriarchate” although, unlike the Holy See, it has no existence as a subject of international law.) Instead, the summit was mainly notable for the fact that several big countries either did not attend or did not sign up to the final communiqué, among them China, India, Brazil and Saudi Arabia. In other words, it was yet another signs of the impending end of Western hegemony.
