EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis). This excellent interview of a good friend of Helleniscope, George Harvalias, with Dimitris Liatsos of “Ideohoros” underscores a shifting landscape in Europe, where the narrative of Russian defeat is increasingly questioned—even by artificial intelligence projections—and where German revanchism, rather than Russian aggression, is cast as the real threat. From the Baltics’ militarization under Berlin’s influence to Austria’s strained neutrality, the discussion points to a continent being pushed toward perpetual confrontation.
Equally striking is the diplomatic fallout: Donald Trump continues to hold firm on dialogue with Moscow, clashing with the EU’s insistence on prolonging the conflict. Greece, meanwhile, pays the price for its past anti-Trump stance and for parroting Northern European hardliners, leaving Turkish provocations unaddressed. With Erdogan chastened by Putin and Zelensky’s role increasingly sidelined, the program suggests the war’s end may come sooner than Brussels expects—on terms favorable to Moscow.

0:00 Start of program. Even artificial intelligence produces news: Russia does not appear to be losing the war. German propaganda beautifying Hitlerism.
7:25 Germany puts forward the “useful idiots,” mainly the countries around the Baltic. Transformation of European industry into a military one.
10:50 The Germans have not reconciled with their past. A country without nuclear weapons and not a permanent member of the Security Council.
13:15 Trump, so far, wants to speak with Russia. The Europeans invent non-existent issues to justify prolonging the war. They are trying to drag Trump into the ranks of the willing.
15:05 Austria maintains eternal neutrality, although under pressure it wavers back and forth.
18:10 Russian proposal to use their frozen assets, together with the U.S., for development of the Arctic… Banking mafia.
20:25 Gerapetritis said nothing about Turkish violations in the Aegean but, like a tape recorder, repeated what Kaja Kallas said—a clearly anti-Greek politician.
27:10 Greek diplomacy is now paying for its pre-election anti-Trump stance. Starmer is sinking. Mitsotakis’ team is also under steam.
29:35 Erdogan brought a strong package to his discussion with Trump. Yet both Erdogan and Aliyev received a harsh lesson from Putin inside Ukraine.
33:50 Hope for a quick end to the war without Zelensky as protagonist. Artificial intelligence confirms the realistic images that exist of Russia’s military dominance.
