Brazilian journalist and geopolitical analyst (born 1954)
Pepe Escobar on RT America in 2012
Pepe Escobar (born 1954) is a Brazilian journalist and geopolitical analyst.[1][2] His column "The Roving Eye" for Asia Times regularly discusses the multi-national "competition for dominance over the Middle East and Central Asia."[3] He has reported from Afghanistan and Pakistan, writing about Osama bin Laden before 9/11 and interviewing Afghan leader Ahmad Shah Massoud.
Escobar's concept of "Pipelineistan" refers to the network of oil and gas pipelines in crucial geopolitical regions, especially Central Asia. He suggests that Western actions in these areas are largely driven by a desire to reduce dependence on Russian energy and OPEC. This theory has faced criticism, particularly regarding its application to conflicts like the Syrian Civil War. Escobar's work has been scrutinized for its appearance in outlets identified by the U.S. State Department as part of Russia's disinformation network, such as RT and Sputnik News, raising questions about the potential propagation of Russian propaganda.
