In the 18th episode of the Actualitica Podcast, the guest is the distinguished Croatian journalist, and writer Boris Rašeta.
The podcast covers current geopolitics and Croatian politics. The year began with a spectacular event: the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who was allegedly seized by U.S. forces and taken to the United States on the orders of Donald Trump. Will Trump attack Greenland, and could this lead to the collapse of NATO? Has Trump betrayed his voters and his America First agenda? Will Ukraine become a new South Korea after the war? Our distinguished guest offers his vision of these developments.
Is Trump a Russian Trojan horse, and is there a deal between Russia and Trump’s team? Why would a potential U.S. withdrawal from Europe be a highly harmful and dangerous development? Why do Russians have justified fears of encirclement by NATO? How can the European Union sustain itself? What are the chances that Aleksandar Vučić and Viktor Orbán will remain in power? Why will Russia eventually return as a Western partner? The answers open up new perspectives.
Mr. Rašeta explains the phenomenon of how Andrej Plenković and the HDZ survive all corruption and other scandals, despite the fall of more than 40 high-ranking officials. Will the prime minister himself ultimately end up in court or in prison? Does the current opposition, led by the SDP, have the capacity and credibility to defeat the HDZ in elections? Who are the other opposition leaders who could come to power? Why is the HDZ today stronger than the SKH was in the 1980s? Are there similarities between Plenković and Ante Pavelić? Our guest provides precise answers to these and many other questions.
A must-watch for all politics fans. Editor and host: Matija Šerić.
