In the 47th episode of the Actualitica Podcast, the guest is Associate Professor at Libertas International University, sociologist, philosopher, and geopolitical expert Ivor Altaras Penda. Episode topic: geopolitics, dedollarization of the world, and artificial intelligence.

Was he surprised by Trump’s decision to approve the American-Israeli war against Iran? What could be the further course of the war? What is the significance of Trump’s visit to China? Is there a possibility of holding an international “Yalta 2.0” conference? Will Trump, Xi, and Putin divide the world once again? In what way can the European Union compete with the U.S., China, and Russia?

Can the process of dedollarization change the global balance of power in the long run to the detriment of the United States? Is the U.S. a declining power? What is the future of the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan? What exactly is BRICS? Could this organization overshadow the EU and create a common currency?

Is a Venezuelan scenario possible — in other words, could American troops abduct Castro the way they allegedly did with Nicolás Maduro? Could the war in Ukraine have been avoided? Is “Cyprization” a solution for Ukraine? How much will AI transform the economy, labor market, media, the security sector, and international relations in the 21st century?

Our renowned guest provides clear answers to these and many other questions. Definitely worth watching! Editor and host: Matija Šerić.
