Deterrence Psychopathy Highjacks Europe—It's Getting Worse | Cdre. Steve Jermy

The people who lead Ukraine straight into the bayonets of Russia are working over-time to do the same to the rest of the European continent. Retired Royal Navy Commodore Steve Jermy joins me today to discuss what we need to work toward stopping this: A new “Spirit of Westphalia” for ending the NATO-Russia war. We examine the loss of cooperative security in Europe, weak air defenses, the energy costs of escalation, the human cost of a wider war, and possible paths toward diplomacy, neutrality, OSCE-led confidence-building measures, and Track II talks.Links:Steve Jermy’s Substack: https://stevejermy.substack.comSteve’s Article: https://stevejermy.substack.com/p/the...Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00:00 Introduction and the Spirit of Westphalia00:09:03 Support Neutrality Studies00:09:20 Why Europe abandoned cooperative security00:14:41 Air defense, drones, and missile warfare00:18:14 Energy security and the need for diplomacy00:22:37 How peace talks could begin00:29:25 Neutrality, the OSCE, and ending sanctions00:35:19 Who could launch a new peace process?00:45:25 Where to follow Steve Jermy
