Ep. 3 - Ukraine Conflict, Iran Negotiations, and Understanding Foreign Diplomacy
Raymond is joined again by Alex Green. In this episode, they discuss the impact of technology on American isolationism and the culturally incoherent global viewpoint increasingly held by most Americans. Starting with the fundamental lack of understanding about Russia with regard to Putin’s actions in the Ukrainian Crisis. They then parallel JFK’s conflicts with U.S. leaders over the Cuban Missile Crisis and the current Congressional attempts to undermine negotiations with Iran, as well as influence diplomatic relations with Israel. Next, they talk about the role of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in the South China Sea Negotiations and legacy of mistakes made in North Korea. Finishing with thoughts on the theory that presidential systems of government are inherently unstable and may have consequences even in a system as stable as the United States.
