In Eurasia vs. NATOstan, Pepe Escobar takes us on a whirlwind journey through the swirling sands of the 21st century's defining clash. From the ancient Silk Roads to the modern-day War of Economic Corridors, Escobar paints a vivid picture of a world in transition, where the old order is crumbling and a new, multipolar reality is struggling to be born.
With his nonpareil blend of historical insight, deep cultural appreciation, and sharp geopolitical analysis, Escobar exposes the West's "rules-based international order" for the sham it is, a mere smokescreen for the Empire of Chaos to perpetuate its forever wars and plunder the Global South. But the tide is turning. Led by the Russia-China strategic partnership, a new Global Majority is rising, forging new alliances and building alternative systems that bypass the West's rigged game.
Eurasia vs. NATOstan is not just a chronicle of our turbulent times; it is a call to action. Escobar challenges us to shed the blinkers of Western exceptionalism and embrace the possibilities of a truly multipolar world, where cooperation, mutual respect, and a shared future for all replace the toxicities of war, division, and neocolonialism.
