Rapprochement with Russia is vital to halt Europe’s civilisational decay
Tue 8:57 am +00:00, 13 Jan 2026 9At 27 minutes, Mercouris admits he was a keen europhile in the 60s and 70s, ‘when I was young’. It’s quite funny listening to him recant and try to say the EU has gone the wrong way since. To my mind, it was obvious the EU was a totalitarian project from the start. It was sold as an economic project at the time, but why be fooled by power grabs dressed up as motherhood and apple pie? Academics and professionals have to flex with the wind, I suppose. And bullshit usually baffles brains.
The reality doesn’t change. Evil is evil. At least he is starting to realise what’s what now. He’ll get there in the end. Hopefully before academic naivety brings us into total ruin. At least he can tell that we now need to reach a rapprochement with Russia. That’s putting it mildly.
My experience of being in Russia is that the Russians are very similar to us (English), and I felt very at home there. In the US, on the other hand, I found business much harder and people far fuller of bullshit Trump-style, mainly interested in the quick Buck. I’d prefer to team up with Russians any day, and keep Americans out of the way as far as possible. Our current aaproach has all of this the wrong way around.
It’s as if the fact that we are on the same page as the Russians is a new discovery. Only in the media and Hollywood were the Russians always the bad guys and the Americans the good – the John Wayne cuture we received via TV and movies.

Under video –
In a wide ranging discussion with my friend Alexander Mercouris, we discuss variously European elites’ kow-towing to Donald Trump over Greenland and Venezuela, while at the same time hoping to keep the combustible US President locked into a war in Ukraine that cannot be won.
Europe has become a single issue bloc in terms of foreign policy, utterly unable to let go of their obsession with the need to cut all ties with Russia.
Yet, in the drive to homogenise culturally, through a confected and completely false notion of European values, European leaders forget that the source of Europe’s economic strength is in its cultural diversity and the comparative advvantage that offers the bloc as a whole. Prior to the avoidable conflict in Ukraine breaking out, Russia was part of that mix through its cheap and plentiful natural resources, but also its rich cultural heritage.
As Trump seeks to reset economic relations with Europe, he is seeking to have both cakes and eat all three.
Meanwhile, while Europe has the ingredients to make a cake, it can’t afford the gas to bake it.
And the war in Ukraine has simply been an attempt to deny Russianness against a forced European idea that simply doesn’t exist. The obvious thing to do would be to reset relations with Russia and that would include buying cheap Russian energy. The political ramifications of not doing so, longer term, could be catastrophic for European nation states. I hope you find the conversation as interesting as I did.
TAP – The biggest fear of the Russian army and people is not being allowed to finish the job and defeat Ukraine and NATO,and Putin reaching a peace settlement with Trump. The real situation might take over from the big money controllers. You need to believe the spiritual dimension exists, which has more power than any money. Talk to this level of power and things happen beyond what you might have hoped for or expected. We can’t vote out Starmer as elections are being cancelled and rigged. But Russia could see him gone. All sane people everywhere want he same thing as the Russian people do. And the Russians all pray non stop. We should join them – spiritually as well as economically.
If I recall correctly then Mercouris is an ex barrister who was struck off in 2012. I wounder which Inn of Court that he studied at? So he was an insider back in the day and so surely knows which way the cookie crumbles, see link below

He couldn’t do his commentary openly if he waa still at The Inn Of Court. He had connections to the system and maybe still does. His perceptions are interesting whichever way he arrives at them!
Very true! My assumption is that his change of career tack followed his disbarring, rather than a change from personal conviction. No way of knowing for certain of course. Whichever it is then he’s certainly an erudite guy, no surprise at all given that he made it as a barrister
To be fair to Alexander, lots of us thought of the Common Market as bringing Europe together, meaning there would be no more European wars.
We were not so far-sighted that we could see it was going to degenerate into what it has become.
Not sure about his background, but I know there were some shenanigans, according to a friend of his, that were made up by someone else. No idea why.
I fell into the same trap myself in the 1970’s, I swallowed Teddy Teeths bait hook, line and….
Took me ages to realise where I was wrong too, read a book that exposed the whole farrago, can’t remember the authors name, doh. I will add to the comment if I do manage to recall
But still, they don’t disbarr without their own good reason. Maybe a fit up as you say. But still….
I found my copy
“The Great Deception – Can the EU survive?”
2003, Christopher Booker and Richard North
The book is well worth reading to discover the real EU story, it was a big eye opener for me. Heath’s selling down the river of the British fishing industry a particularly loathsome episode. Heath sacrificed the industry as a quid pro quo; in hindsight he was clearly a globalist, and Brit Establishment, agent. The stories about his yacht Morning Cloud, and very young boys supplied by Saville, were particularly nauseating
Booker was founder and first editor of Private Eye. Under his, and Richard Ingrams, editorship then it was a very revealing, and very funny, magazine. The reprehensible Hislop gutted it
I have read that Heath was blackmailed into pushing the UK into the Common Market. His well-known (among the elite) penchant for little boys made him completely manageable. There may have been other elements too.
And the rest. Torture. Murder. Morning Cloud. Jersey.

Bill Maloney nailed it didn’t he. Jersey is spooky, Freemason infested, place. I wonder what happened to Bill? I bet that he came under enormous pressure as a result of his work
