Western Moral Collapse: Epstein Files, Jimmy Lai, & Japan’s Trap | Dr. Warwick Powell | Silk & Steel

In this episode, Carl Zha sits down with Dr. Warwick Powell to unpack a turbulent fortnight in global affairs. They dissect the West’s apoplectic response to Jimmy Lai’s sentencing, the moral devastation of the Epstein file releases, and why the elite’s finger-pointing reveals a profound crisis of self-esteem.

They also analyze Japan’s snap election—was Takaichi’s “resounding victory” built on sand? And what do her hardline nationalist politics mean for China, Russia, and the US alliance?

Finally, a look ahead: will Trump manufacture crises before his Beijing visit just so he can “solve” them?
