New Order with Afshin Rattansi Castos https://new-order-with-afshin-rattansi.castos.com Once a week, Afshin Rattansi's show New Order will trace how India and its BRICS allies sit at the centre of a transformation in world history. Power is moving, alliances are shifting, and the rules of trade, technology, and security are being rewritten. How are India and the wider Global South navigating the new alignments? Which partnerships are emerging? And how do these structural changes ripple across the world into the streets, into the villages, into the markets, the boardrooms, and metropoles alike? New Order is not just about headlines. It is about diplomatic architecture: the networks of power, the flow of money, and the levers of influence that determine who gains and who loses in a world of tectonic transition. Because what we are witnessing is not just turbulence. It is a fundamental reordering.

Lawrence Wilkerson: Iran WON, US CANNOT STOP the Rise of BRICS & the Global South]]> Sun, 19 Apr 2026 17:54:47 +0000 Ghaf TV Productions https://permalink.castos.com/podcast/69749/episode/2425735 https://new-order-with-afshin-rattansi.castos.com/episodes/col-lawrence-wilkerson-iran-won-us-cannot-stop-the-rise-of-brics-the-global-south On this episode of New Order, we speak to Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Former Chief of Staff at the US State Department. He discusses the bombing of the China-Iran railway and the wider US priority to confront China, China’s global railway network strategy to ensure trade dominance, his belief that Iran has won against the US and Israel and whether Iran will pursue building nuclear weapons, why the negotiations in Pakistan and negotiations over Lebanon are just a cover for Donald Trump’s retreat, his advice for the global south and BRICS as the US continues to make threats and launch wars to protect its hegemony, China’s strategy to supplant the dollar and become the dominant financial power, the future of Israel, and much more. 

Finally, New Order’s Zarah Khan asks questions from you, the viewers, to Afshin Rattansi. You can send in your questions to be answered by @AfshinRattansi on X to be answered on next week’s episode! 

And a question for you, the viewers: Should Iran pursue the same strategy as North Korea in developing a nuclear deterrent?
