Host: So, Monday may become another “Monday of destiny” in the United States—or it may not; we do not yet know for certain. In American cinema there is often the term “collapse”: this is what they call the state in which everything begins to fall apart like a house of cards, above all from an ideological standpoint.
In your view, can this entire story with the Epstein files, and what congressmen—and perhaps the rest of the world—are learning, be regarded as the beginning of a real collapse of the Western world?

This is a collapse, a genuine downfall of the entire Western world.
In fact, over the past week, an event of such colossal importance has taken place that we, from our Eurasian vantage point, naturally cannot fully assess what is happening.
