On Wednesday July 16th 2025, Philip Pilkington travelled to Belgrade, to launch his new book in the city whose bombing, by NATO in 1999, marked the apex of Global Liberalism. In this 45 minute talk, he sets out his position on why Global Liberalism is both bad and ending.

If they get Chinese AD I can’t see how Israel will ever strike the country again. The Iran strikes now look like they just pushed Iran to render themselves immune while achieving no clear military objective. I’m hardly the only one starting to think that Israel has no plan. 🇮🇷🇮🇱

Maybe it’s just signs of increasing instability at this stage… 🇬🇧

The central crisis of liberalism - the one that will have the most insidious, yet largely invisible effects - is the collapse of late liberal societies ability to reproduce themselves. Many do not understand just how large the effects of this will be. 👶👴

Never believe predicted technological outcomes. They are inevitably sales pitches. Judge technology as it stands today. Anything else is fantasy. 🤖

Very interesting conversation between Philip Pilkington and Malcolm Kyeyune about the decline of the West. Halfway through there is a great line, “Western history stopped at some point during the 20th Century, and now we are repeating the same tropes over and over again.” To this,

For a moment there after the EU tariffs were announced and the US dollar rallied it looked like USD market dynamics were back to “normal” - i.e. USD hegemony. Then the tariff effect faded and USD started falling again. 💵📉

In December 1916 the German Kaiser sued for peace and his fellow Central Power allies agreed. Rome supported it but the Allied Powers refused. If they had not the Second World War and the 1917 Bolshevik revolution would have been avoided. No one talks about this. 🌍

I bet you didn’t know that Russia, China and… uhh… Iran are busy carving up Georgia. Mullahs in Tbilisi when? Joe Wilson has the big brain facts. 🇬🇪

Funny money is a hell of a drug. 💉💊

You heard it here first: The Collapse of Globalism - there is no better guide to what is happening today. 🌐

Question whether seriously bad decisions were made in the middle of the First World War and you are literally Hitler. The West's approach to history - especially 20th century history - is literally a joke. The woke revisionist stuff is more academically serious than this slop.

By December 1916 British debt had risen from £706m to £2,190m - a 300% increase. Britain would spend the 1920s and 1930s in a Depression. Russia was three months away from the February Revolution. Yet when offered peace terms they said "no". The Kaiser was being rational.

Great discussion with Anthony Dworkin and Calum Nicholson at Mathias Corvinus Collegium’s MCC Feszt over the weekend. We debated what liberalism actually is and whether it is collapsing. Hoping to release the video soon. Stay tuned! 🗣️🎙️

Without tariffs, Tesla gets completely obliterated. 🚗🚘

Secondary sanctions on Russian oil - via India - and sanctions relief on China. Forgive me for being a noticer but isn’t this literally the exact opposite of the original MAGA trade and diplomatic plan? 🇺🇸

Since 2008 the dollar has gained a lot of “artificial” value. This fuelled the consumption-led growth of the QE era. If USD hegemony is truly over USD has a long way down - even longer if the tariff policies raise US inflation differentials relative to the rest of the world. 💵

Chasiv Yar has basically fallen. Pokrovsk is almost encircled. Lyman, Siversk and Kharkov are under major pressure. Meanwhile Kiev is panicking over mass desertions. After the losses Russia has taken what do you expect them to do? Throw in the towel to avoid some sanctions? 🤨
