Brian speaks with Irina Tsukerman, a human rights and national security lawyer, the Editor in Chief of The Washington Outsider and President of Scarab Rising, Inc., a strategic advisory firm. After graduating from Fordham University School of Law, Irina built a professional practice focused on relentlessly championing underreported international causes, especially through publications, media appearances, interviews, and organizing major international events. A prolific writer, her work appears regularly in US, European, Middle Eastern, and other international publications, including Newsweek, Modern Diplomacy, Arab News, Begin-Sadat Center, The Jerusalem Post, Small Wars Journal, and American Spectator. Interviews with Irina have appeared in the NY Post, Fox News, International Business Times and Al Arabiya among others. Irina has presented to the United Nations and UN Human Rights Commission, on congressional panels, at international conferences, and scholarly conferences. In this conversation, Irina highlights the interconnectedness of global crises and the collaboration among state and non-state actors to weaken the United States and its partners. She also explores the challenges posed by information warfare and the potential misuse of artificial intelligence. Brian and Irina also discuss the geopolitical goals of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, as well as the divergent responses within Western countries.
