The U.S. Senate just passed a bill to provide another $60 billion to Ukraine's war effort against Russia. Is it in America's national interest to continue arming Ukraine? Is Washington helping to stop autocracy and safeguard the U.S.-led world order, or is it risking nuclear confrontation with Moscow and an expansion of the war into Europe? And why has the Ukraine issue revealed such deep divisions on the Right?   In the first episode of this new foreign policy podcast, Ying Ma hosts a lively discussion with Stephen Bryen, a leading defense and technology expert; Doug Bandow, senior fellow at the CATO Institute; and Jacob Heilbrunn, editor of The National Interest.

Laura Canali"Festival Limes"https://www.limesonline.com/“Tutto un altro mondo”. Questo il tema del IX Festival di Limes il cui orizzonte sarà inevitabilmente occupato dalla guerra ucraina con le sue ripercussioni economiche, geopolitiche e di sicurezza per il nostro paese, l'Europa e il resto del mondo.“Guerra Grande”: così appare a uno sguardo geopolitico questo conflitto, le cui ragioni e ricadute travalicano l'aspro e lungo scontro sul campo tra Russia e Ucraina. Guerra d'invasione nella sua genesi, lo scontro è ormai a tutti gli effetti una guerra per procura tra Stati Uniti – dunque Alleanza Atlantica, europei inclusi – e Russia. Un conflitto d'attrito inscritto nella più ampia cornice della contesa Usa-Cina, che le crude vicende ucraine possono portare a un nuovo livello. In parte per la proclamata “amicizia senza limiti” tra Mosca e Pechino, che scricchiola vistosamente ma che non è ancora stata apertamente rinnegata. In (larga) parte per gli effetti destabilizzanti – in Eurasia e altrove – di una campagna militare russa ancora in pieno svolgimento. Sullo sfondo, l'irrisolta questione di Taiwan che agita le acque dell'omonimo stretto. Ecco gli appuntamenti sabato 12 e domenica 13 novembre, anche in streaming:Sabato 12 novembreore 10: La tempesta americana e il mondo di domani – con George Friedman e Lucio Caracciolo.ore 11: Bilanci e prospettive della Guerra Grande – con Giorgio Cuscito, Orietta Moscatelli e Federico Petroni.

A cura di Laura Canali, cartografa di Limes.Sono previste visite guidate con l'autrice delle carte sabato 12 novembre (h18.30) e domenica 13 novembre (h14).Laura Canali presenta così la mostra:Una mappa geopolitica, come tutte le immagini, per risultare ben riuscita deve raggiungere un equilibrio visivo.Tale equilibrio dipende da diversi fattori. Quello principale è la potenza del suo significato, che viene evidenziato attraverso dei segni e dei simboli. Il secondo è il suo colore. Normalmente questo bilanciamento viene raggiunto quando tutti gli elementi che la compongono sono in armonia con lo spazio.La mappa murale di questo Festival di Limes, invece, risulta essere leggermente sbilanciata verso il suo lato destro perché i teatri della Guerra Grande sono tutti al Centro e a Est del planisfero.Questo dis-equilibrio non è solo un fatto estetico: è la conseguenza dello sbilanciamento delle crisi mondiali in atto dal 24 febbraio 2022.La mostra cartografica analizzerà i vari scenari della guerra russo-ucraina e i suoi risvolti strategici ed economici. Si sposterà poi verso Oriente, dove l'isola di Formosa è al centro delle tensioni tra Cina e Stati Uniti.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

While all eyes have been turned on Ukraine and China, a nuclear threat continues on the Korean peninsula and in the last few weeks, tensions have gotten a lot worse. The U.S. called North Korea's accusations that Washington and South Korea have been provoking the North "baloney." Meanwhile Pyongyang has been testing missiles and artillery closer to its border with the South, while Seoul and the U.S. have continued their biggest joint war games in four years. Prolific writer and Cato Institute fellow Doug Bandow joins us on the show today to talk about the potential of Kim Jong Un going nuclear and how the Biden administration has lost all juice for addressing what could be a real military conflagration on China's doorstep.More from Doug Bandow:Xi plays Mao without the Madness -- The American Conservative, 10/20/22Who attacked Nord Stream 2? -- 19FortyFive, 10/14/22Washington huffs and puffs — but its adversaries aren't shaking -- Responsible Statecraft, 10/11/22 This is a public episode.

Scott talks with Cato Institute Senior Fellow Doug Bandow about an article he wrote recently for The American Conservative. Bandow gives his take on Biden's trip to Saudi Arabia. He thinks the Saudis were purposefully disrespectful to the U.S. President and that Biden just took it. Bandow explains the ways Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been changing how Saudi Arabia oppresses its people — rolling back religious tyranny while expanding political tyranny. Finally, Scott and Bandow take a step back and examine the Biden Administration's approach to the entire Middle East region, which Bandow says is really just a continuation of Trump's policies.  Discussed on the show: “Joe Biden Grovels to the Saudis” (The American Conservative) “Biden says he confronted Saudis directly on Khashoggi” (The Washington Post) Doug Bandow is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and a regular contributor at Forbes Magazine, the National Interest, Antiwar.com, and elsewhere.

More than a decade ago, Tunisia's Jasmine Revolution gave hope to the Arab world, showing oppressed peoples that longtime dictators can be peacefully ousted. That hope soon failed, brutally, in Egypt, Syria, and Yemen, but Tunisia kept on track throughout the 2010s, proving to be the best democratic hope in an otherwise autocratic and turbulent Middle East.Yet since July 2021, Tunisia's trajectory has taken an increasingly worrisome reversal as well. President Kais Saied suspended the parliament, claimed all executive power, prohibited public gatherings, arrested political opponents, and imposed travel bans. As Cato senior fellow Doug Bandow recently observed on a visit to Tunisia, this authoritarian turn risks the freedoms Tunisians have been enjoying in the past 10 years and can throw the country back to arbitrary rule by a strongman. The change is concerning for the broader Arab and Muslim world, where Tunisia used to be a rare example and source of inspiration. Join us as we discuss these changes and what Tunisia's future may hold. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Doug Bandow, former special assistant to President Ronald Reagan and regular contributor to Antiwar.Com, The American Conservative, and Responsible Statecraft, joins me to discuss his trip to the Doha Forum in Qatar and the vibe there as well as President Joe Biden's "New World Order" speech. This leads us to a conversation about the potential slow decline and erosion of Pax Americana, the waning of U.S. dollar hegemony, and what it means for the average American citizen. Doug also speaks to the issue of the ceasfire in Yemen, the need for the U.S. to relearn diplomacy, not getting trapped in defending figures like Putin while opposing the U.S. foreign policy blob, rating Biden's response to the Ukraine crisis, and much, much more! In the second half of the program, we present a previously lost interview with Casey Chalk, who served in the military, joins me to discuss his The American Conservative article "The Somme And The Global War On Terror"about what we can learn from the German WWI soldier Ernst Junger through his recollectionsof the brutality of warfare in Storm of Steel. Junger has been accused of romanticizing war and was of a conservative, reactionary-bent politically, although he was critical of Nazis and the Third Reich. This conversation, which sees a left-leaning individual in dialogue with a conservative Catholic, attempts to deal with the human cost of war without getting bogged down in current issues like the American culture wars. It is a conversation I am proud of even if I find aspects of Junger problematic. I'm grateful it was saved from oblivion and offer my sincerest apologies to Casey Chalk for the extreme lateness of its publication (it was recorded in the aftermath of the Afghanistan withdrawal). I hope Casey will accept my apology.
