/464/ Decline Under The Donald ft. Daniel Bessner


Listen Later

On Trump's foreign policy, the 2nd time round.

Historian and podcaster Daniel Bessner joins Alex Hochuli and contributing editor Lee Jones to ask how this era of rot and decay will proceed under Trump II, from Ukraine to China and beyond. We discuss:

  • Will we see "America First transactionalism"?

  • Does Trump have a capable cadre to bend the state to his will?

  • What will Trump’s relationship be to the deep state?

  • How important are generational splits in attitudes to the US empire?

  • Will there be a peace deal in Ukraine? Where does that leave 'Atlanticism'?

  • Is confrontation with China baked in?

  • Is the Middle East the key to world peace?
