Mark Carney Proclaims the End of American Hegemony w/ Stephen Maher | The Time of Monsters with Jeet Heer
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made headlines at Davos with a much-noticed speech
where he candidly acknowledged that the US led alliance system created in World War II was
coming to an end. Carney called for middle powers such as Canada and its European allies to
give up the illusion that a US led world is still viable and instead try to create new institutions to
preserve their values and their sovereignty. I talked to Canadian journalist Stephen Maher, who
has written a biography of Carney’s predecessor Justin Trudeau, about the far-reaching
implications of this speech.

The Iranians have closed the Strait of Hormuz and the Houthis are firing on the Red Sea while Donald Trump promises a new wave of attacks on Iran’s civilian infrastructure. I talk about the state of the Middle East and related matters with Matt Duss, vice president of the Center for International Policy.
