For decades, American foreign policy on Taiwan has been rooted in strategic ambiguity, but after China's President Xi Jinping's call for “reunification” with Taiwan and record military presence near the island, is it time to rethink this approach? Rand Corporation's Michael Mazarr and the Commander Michele Lowe join Deep Dish to explore the options in a constructive debate on the benefits—and costs—of a shift in policy.

In the inaugural episode of Connections, Jadaliyya co-editor Mouin Rabbani interviewed Noam Chomsky on March 17th, 2021 to discuss U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East under Biden.

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan talk about the interests of Russia and China in a newly governed Afghanistan, the possible recall of California Governor Gavin Newsom, and an analysis on a massive report done by The Lancet on true needs of having Covid-19 booster shots.Guests:Mark Sleboda - International Relations and Security Analyst | Possible Stability in AfghanistanDr. Bill Honigman - Progressive healthcare activist and national outreach director | California Recall RaceGene Olinger - Professor at Boston University and the principal science advisor for MRI Global Inc | Considering COVID BoostersIn the first hour Mark Sleboda joined the show to talk about the current state of Afghanistan. The Taliban is at an all-time high in power in the country and will defeat the major opposition group very soon. Other countries invested in Afghanistan like Russia and China are seeking stability more than anything else.In the second hour Fault Lines was joined by Dr. Bill Honigan for a discussion on the recall election in California. What did Gov. Newsom do so poorly to anger Californians this much, and would they really like to remove him?In the third hour Gene Olinger joined the conversation to talk about the effectiveness of Covid-19 booster shots. The recent report put out by The Lancet questions the need for all Americans to get a booster after originally being vaccinated.

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan talk about how the US will deal with long-term COVID-19 as the possibility of beating the virus dims, some personal accounts of the events of September 11th, 2001, and the brutal retaliation from the United States for those attacks.Guests:Dr. Mikhail Kogan - Medical Director at the George Washington Center for Integrative Medicine | Vaccine Mandate and Combating DeltaJohn Kiriakou - Former CIA officer, host of The Backstory on Radio Sputnik | US Foreign Policy Inciting 9/11 Ted Rall- Political cartoonist and syndicated columnist | Retaliation from the United StatesIn the first hour Dr. Mikhail Kogan joined the show to talk about the future of Covid-19 in America. Dr. Kogan described a slow transition from “pandemic” into something more seasonal but never being eradicated. Could modern pollutants be contributing to declining immune system health?In the second hour Fault Lines was joined by John Kiriakou for a discussion on the cause of the attacks on September 11th 2001. John then gave his personal account of the horrors of this attack, watching the Pentagon burn and what his responsibilities were immediately after the incident.In the third hour Ted Rall joined the conversation to talk about the terrifying response that the United States had to the terrorist attack on 9/11. How did the common folk respond to the retaliation by America in the middle east?

In this show, Andrew Sola and his guest, Prof. Steven Durand, discuss different theoretical approaches to understanding US foreign policy and international security 20 years after 9/11. Topics include (1) realpolitik or neo-realism: the view that the world is an anarchical and amoral competition among nations; (2) Graham Allison's critique of the assumption that governments make rational decisions; (3) James Dobbins' analysis of successful and unsuccessful approaches to nation building. Next, they discuss the war in Afghanistan, including (4) the role of humanitarian intervention in US foreign policy; and (5) the influence of domestic politics on foreign policy. The show concludes with (6) an assessment of President Biden's decision to end the war in Afghanistan as well as (7) a discussion of the Biden Doctrine.

"Why, of course, the people don't want war," - Hermann Göring. Since the fallout from our disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and the ongoing cleanup, we have heard a lot from various pundits about “the will” to win wars and the failure of politicians to explain American interests in the Middle East. The result, or so the reasoning goes, is that we clearly should have stayed but our presence there was wildly unpopular with voters. Some pundits have gone so far as to say that we ought to embrace the reality of our empire so we can start doing a decent job of it. But foreign engagements have always been more appealing for those at the top than those at the bottom. In this episode, we discuss the process through which people at the top persuade ordinary Americans to support some of the biggest wars in American History. In particular, we explore the propaganda that served as official reasons for entering the war presented to the public and the reality on the ground.  Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Joel Rivera-Camacho on Unsplash

Twenty years after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the United States' longest war has ended with the troop withdrawal in Afghanistan completed. Thus, a new chapter between the United States and a Taliban-controlled Afghanistan has begun. It has also begun conversations around the current state and future of America's foreign policy. This week, Stephen Wertheim joins Doug to unpack the state of America's foreign policy and role in the world following the conclusion of the longest U.S. war. Stephen is the author of Tomorrow, the World: The Birth of U.S. Global Supremacy. Read the latest from Stephen:End the Imperial Presidency The ever-ready answer for failures in Afghanistan: More warJoe Biden's Perfect Foreign Policy StormThe legacy of 9/11

In this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were privileged to talk again to Prof. Jon Pevehouse who teaches a variety of courses in international relations and foreign policy for the Political Science department as well as the La Follette School of Public Affairs. Prof. Pevehouse is the new Chair of the Political Science department and is also teaching his very popular American Foreign Policy course this semester. Prof. Pevehouse helped us put the US presence in Afghanistan in an historical context and offered his insights into the Taliban's return to power last month in the aftermath of the US withdrawal. Prof. Pevehouse also walked us through some of the short- and long-term foreign policy implications of the post- 9/11 wars more generally. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. We hope you will too.

Today on the Zeoli Show, we dive right into the latest news in Kabul, Afghanistan. Zeoli discusses how this has spiraled out of control because of the incompetence of Biden and his administration. Later on in the show, Zeoli talks about the irony of Biden's proclamations of the Taliban providing security for escorting our troops that are still there to leave their country - it's an absolute disgrace. And finally, Zeoli concludes the show by discussing the potential ramifications and why this may go down as the single greatest catastrophe in American foreign policy history.

After weeks of finger-pointing and accusations about the catastrophic US retreat from Afghanistan, we're taking a step back to ask some big-picture questions. What if the problem isn't the exit, but the strategy that started the intervention in the first place: counterinsurgency? US Naval War College author Jacqueline Hazelton joins Deep Dish to explain what went wrong and why we're doomed to repeat our mistakes if we don't shift strategies.

With the decision by the Biden Administration to pull the last troops out of Afghanistan and the last combat troops out of Iraq, it marks the end to two decades of U.S. foreign policy in which the War on Terrorism and instability in the Middle East dominated policymakers attentions. Biden seeks to turn the page to 21st Century priorities like China, competitiveness, fixing what is broken at home and next generation threats like cyber. It seems reasonable not to mention long overdue. David Sanger of the New York Times, Rosa Brooks of Georgetown Law School and Ed Luce of the Financial Times debate whether it is the right move and whether it is being done in the right way.

There are many rumblings of a new Cold War brewing between the US and China. But the governments in Washington and Beijing both seem to be most focused on domestic political issues and maintaining power. Which might suggest that much of the ratcheting up of toughness between them is performative.

This episode we hop on some camels, pack some frankincense and myrrh to trade at bazaars we pass along the way, and journey across the Arabian Peninsula to Yemen, the topic of this week's ep. I've always been interested in Yemen because I had a paranormal experience many years ago when I received a phantom text message from an unknown number that simply said: I have seen it in a dream. You will go to Yemen.So, I've started paying attention to Yemen, which lately has meant paying attention to a brutal and protracted civil war that has gripped the nation in earnest since 2014 and has caused a major humanitarian crisis for the Yemeni people. I'd often hear about U.S. support for this Saudi-led campaign of extermination against a group of native Yemenis called the Houthis. After a time, as the war dragged on and on, I started to wonder: who are these Houthis and how they managing to stand their ground in the mountains of northern Yemen against the biggest and most advanced military in the middle east, which is also being lavishly supported by the U.S.?This episode is my attempt to unpack the civil war in Yemen, examine its context and history, and to analyze tactics that the Houthi rebels are using to defend their homeland.  Follow the BNP on IG @conantanner Thank you for spreading the word about the BNP!

Bush eras and the liberal internationalism of the Clinton and Obama administrations.  Robert Wright, has helped to introduce and popularize a new kind of intellectual tradition to the public square called "Progressive Realism."  He explains some key principals of a progressive-realist foreign policy and how this ideology might be applied to some key foreign policy challenges, including competition with China and conflict in the middle east.  Guest:  Robert Wright is the author of several books, including  NonZero: The Logic of Human Destiny and runs a newsletter of the same name.

This week Talking Feds turns its view outward, to the challenges in foreign policy the new Administration inherits.

Anne Appelbaum, Garry Kasparov, and Uriel Epshtein join Harry to analyze the challenges and prescribe the best path ahead.
