What a week! As of right now it’s still not clear which party will be running the Congress after Tuesday’s competitive midterm elections. We talk to Just Foreign Policy’s Erik Sperling about the foreign policy implications of a new potential Republican majority in the House and/or Senate — and which issues might be affected by the change, including the hottest one of the moment, Ukraine. We also discuss the White House’s new “diplomacy talk” with Russia. In the first segment, Kelley and Dan talk about Bush-era interventionists and neocons trying get into the act by refashioning themselves under the rubric of “conservative statecraft.”
