Can The World Survive Donald Trump? w/ John Helmer

7. August 2025

After former Russian President Dimitri Medvedev warned the Trump administration about Russia’s capacity to retaliate to a nuclear first strike, Donald Trump ordered two American nuclear submarines to approach the waters of the Russian Federation. Trump’s latest provocation adds to the mountain of evidence that his administration constitutes an existential threat to humanity – and Trump’s second term has barely begun. Dimitri Lascaris speaks with John Helmer about the dangers that lie ahead. They also discussed India’s refusal to be cowed by Trump’s threat of sanctions, as well as Russia’s military cooperation with Iran.
