Transmigration
By all accounts, Joe Biden is intending to end his presidency with a bang, literally. And by doing so, he aims to saddle Donald Trump with his foreign policy failure called the ‘Ukraine Project’. Many in the Trump orbit seem to have no problem with this. CrossTalking with John Laughland, Patrick Henningsen, and Alexandre Guerreiro.
Kamikaze Joe
Joe Biden is in legacy mode. He has less than two months to leave his historical mark. He will be remembered for being unfit for office and being one of the engineers of the Palestinian genocide. To cap it all off, we can add that ‘Kamikaze Joe’ is playing a game of nuclear chicken with Russia. CrossTalking with Wilmer Leon, Sarah Bils, and Yves Engler.
CrossTalk Bullhorns: Lame duck escalation
What is Biden aiming to achieve by escalating the Ukraine proxy war? How should we interpret Russia’s reaction? And finally, where is Donald Trump in all of this? CrossTalking with George Szamuely and Tarik Cyril Amar.
CrossTalk: Challenging the West
This year’s gathering of the G20 reflected strikingly different world views. The West droned on about its Ukraine proxy war. The rest – the Global South – focused on international stability and economic prosperity. CrossTalking with Palki Sharma, John Pang, and Carl Zha.
Biden’s last gasp
In the waning days of the Biden administration the US has reversed its long-standing policy, allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russia. The Biden administration clearly intends to escalate the conflict before Trump enters office. What could go wrong? CrossTalking with Aaron Good, Dan Kovalik, and Michael Rossi.
CrossTalk Bullhorns: Donald’s choice
One of the most important dictums of politics is ‘personnel is policy’. Given Donald Trump’s growing list of unorthodox appointments, it is difficult to discern what foreign policy his administration will pursue. Change or continuity? CrossTalking with George Szamuely and Dmitry Babich.
