Patrik Baab interviews Peter Hanseler

The Iran conflict and the resulting shift in the global balance of power mark a turning point in modern history. While Western media coverage often skims the surface, lawyer and analyst Peter Hanseler exposes the underlying causes of a political approach that seems to have lost all touch with reality. It is the image of a West ensnared in its own moral superiority, while actual power shifts to the East. In conversation with Patrik Baab, Peter Hanseler analyzes why we are dealing not merely with a regional crisis, but with the collective failure of a political class. It is about the “madness in power” that is willing to sacrifice the stability of entire continents for ideological narratives. The conversation covers: – Geopolitical denial of reality: Why Western sanctions have not weakened Iran and Russia, but driven them into a new, irreversible alliance. – Madness in power: Why European leadership is knowingly steering toward economic and strategic irrelevance. – The end of U.S. hegemony: How the Middle East is becoming the catalyst for a multipolar world order in which the dollar has lost its edge as a weapon. – Media conformity: Why critical analyses of geopolitics are disappearing from public discourse and being replaced by pure narratives. - The “Forever War”: Why the logic of escalation in the Middle East and Ukraine follows the same dangerous script. “We are currently witnessing the end of an era in which the West could dictate the rules to the rest of the world—and the awakening will be painful.” Anyone who points out the economic and legal realities of power politics today is often regarded as a dissident. Peter Hanseler demonstrates how the shift in the world order is unfolding and why looking eastward is vital for Europe’s survival.
