Trump’s Global Culture War
On The Time of Monsters: Stephen Wertheim on the government’s new National Security Strategy.
The Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy is a marked shift from not only earlier administrations but also Trump’s first term in office. While the new policy statement eschews the goal of global hegemony, it promotes culture war in Europe by promising support for anti-immigration political parties; economic rivalry in Asia with China; and a renewal of US military hegemony in the Western Hemisphere. To survey this document and Trump’s often contradictory foreign policy, I spoke to frequent guest of the show Stephen Wertheim, an American Statecraft senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Gaza and Elite Accountability w/ Connor Echols
Many of Joe Biden’s closest advisors are now well-ensconced in the sinecures reserved for the elite, working at think tanks, academia, and major media outlets. Normally, they could expect to have future jobs when the Democrats retake the White House. But this cozy situation is being disrupted by ongoing reporting showing the extent of their complicity in the Gaza genocide and other US crimes in the Middle East. I spoke about this with Connor Echols, managing editor of Responsible Statecraft, who wrote an excellent article on the efforts to hold these officials accountable.
