NATO's Biggest Strategic Failure YET | Cptn. Steven Jermy
Royal Navy Commodore Steve Jermy joins Pascal to discuss Europe’s strategic direction. Jermy argues that rising energy costs and economic pressure could reshape Western policy toward Ukraine and Iran. They examine escalation risks, military preparedness, public opinion, censorship, and the human consequences of war. Drawing on his service experience, Jermy makes the case for open debate and explains why he supports a petition to pause British military assistance to Ukraine pending discussion.Steve's Links:Substack: https://stevejermy.substack.comPetition article: https://stevejermy.substack.com/p/pet...UK Parliament petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petiti...Neutrality Studies Links:Neutrality Studies Substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comSupport Neutrality Studies: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateNeutrality Studies shop: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopTime Stamps00:00 Steve Jermy in Tbilisi: what comes next?03:01 Iran, Ukraine and Europe’s energy costs09:29 Public opinion, security and the petition19:01 Neutrality, prosperity and the price of war27:46 Escalation and the politics of victimhood36:57 Conscription, media narratives and dissent49:49 Military experience and the human cost56:40 Opening the debate and building a peace movement
