In the eighth episode of the Actualitica Podcast, the guest is Croatian publicist, writer, and politician Pavle Kalinić.
The topics of this episode are geopolitical in nature. The distinguished guest comments on the recently signed ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. He shares his views on whether the truce will hold and if the brutal Israeli-Palestinian war will finally come to an end. We discuss the rationality behind Hamas’s attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023 — was there any logical reasoning behind it, or was it an irrational move? Mr. Kalinić also gives his perspective on what could be the best final solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has been ongoing for almost a century.
We also reflect on Donald Trump’s second term and his confrontations with foreign powers. Recently, Maduro’s Venezuela has been in the spotlight. Trump has called Maduro “the biggest narco-terrorist in the world.” Many speculate about the possibility of a U.S. invasion — could that really happen? Why does Trump dislike Maduro? Can Trump bring an end to the Russia-Ukraine war? Are serious clashes between the left and right possible in the United States? Is Vučić’s regime nearing its end? How do HDZ and Andrej Plenković remain in power despite the arrest of more than 30 ministers?
Answers to these and other questions are provided by Mr. Kalinić — one of Croatia’s leading (geo)political experts. This episode is absolutely worth watching.
