Jacques Baud | People Stop Me on the Street Every Day: Debanking and the European Resistance | Oct. 22, 2026

Labels , , , Source: The Peacemonger youtube



Description: 
Jacques Baud, former Swiss colonel and strategic military intelligence analyst, lives in Brussels under EU sanctions that have frozen his assets and restricted his life. 

In this conversation he describes the everyday reality of those sanctions: food brought by people who call themselves a resistance, strangers stopping him on the street every day to offer support, a humanitarian banking exemption that took five months to approve and still isn't fully implemented, and sanctions that are renewed with no clear end date.

He explains why he sees the current European system as a "democrature," why foreign-policy tools are being used inside the EU, and how his case has become emblematic for many Europeans who feel the same pressures.

Jacques Baud | Saudi air defenses overwhelmed as Yemeni missiles penetrate 800 km | Oct. 12, 2026

Description: 
Nima Alkhorshid asks Jacques Baud about a Wall Street Journal report that Saudi Arabia is short of interceptor missiles after daily Yemeni attacks, including cruise missiles that crossed more than 800 kilometers, one of them striking King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. Baud says missiles have become the decisive weapon in this war of attrition and that the West has little left to offer after Ukraine and the Middle East.

The EU IS sanctioning the retired Swiss Army Col. and previous NATO advisor Jacques Baud

 It is now official. The EU IS sanctioning the retired Swiss Army Col. and previous NATO advisor Jacques Baud who was on Neutrality Studies before. One of the most cool-headed and well-informed analysts out there. Reason: Baud is spreading Russian propaganda, the EU says. It is insane. The EUSSR is real.

EU sanctions are not part of the judicial branch. They are punishments coming straight from the executive arm (Kaja Kallas‘ office is responsible for compiling and proposing them). Sanctions against individuals that have never been found guilty by any court of law should not be possible.

Even worse, Baud is living in an EU country and has now all his assets frozen and a travel ban for the entire Union (Switzerland is not part of the EU).

I was in touch with Baud yesterday and he is currently assessing the legal implications on him:

„Yes, I have been sanctioned for ‚Russian propaganda‘.
The fact I never use Russian material for my books, but exclusively Ukrainian and Western information and that I consequently refused invitations from Russian media, I am still a "Russian propagandist"!

As stated in my books, my work is not about who is good and who is bad, but about how bad media reflect the realities on the ground. I wanted to show that even without Russian information you can have a better understanding of the conflict. The idea is that the way you understand a crisis defines the way to solve it!
I didn't realize how right I was.“
