In this episode, Laurence Saint-Gilles deconstructs the ‘Trump Paradox.’ Since 2025, U.S. foreign policy has become a labyrinth where isolationist rhetoric masks unprecedented military interventionism. She explores the disturbing alignment between Trump’s decisions and Kremlin interests, moving beyond simple ‘puppet’ theories to analyze the concept of a ‘Special Confidential Contact.’ However, the reality is a fierce internal ‘civil war’ within the White House.

While pro-Russian factions attempt to sideline Ukraine, the U.S. National Security State—led by the CIA—has demonstrated unexpected resilience, proving that Russia might be a ‘paper tiger.’ Is Trump truly under Putin’s grip, or is he an illusionist ready to discard his blackmailers? Laurence Saint-Gilles analyzes how vanity, ‘kompromat,’ and institutional resistance shape the new world order.
