MIDNIGHT SUN | Alaska Summit | Putin and...

Molucca Media Ltd
About this episode

From Alaska to Gaza, the fault lines are shifting. As talk of a Trump–Putin meeting grows, we ask whether it’s a genuine path to peace or political theatre—while Gaza’s famine deepens and the Ukraine front grinds on.


🎙 Guests


Sharmine Narwani — Columnist at The Cradle, on Gaza, the wider Middle East, and the media blackout.


Prof. Richard Wolff — Professor of Economics, founder of Democracy at Work, host of Economic Update.


Chay Bowes — Political commentator (MA in Geopolitics), on the war in Ukraine and Western strategy.


🧭 What we cover:


Alaska “peace summit”: pact or fiction?


Gaza’s humanitarian collapse and the world’s silence


Ukraine: endgame or endless war?
